I went to school both in the United States and Ukraine and while the United States educational system was way more funded, it was not any better. So what if we have a TV in every classroom? Is watching educational movies a better use of time than getting a lecture from the teacher about it?
The risk of her future income being depressed. The risk her compensation package mitigated by paying her millions even in the face of a perceived failure.
Google’s Waymo invests in LIDAR technology, cuts costs by 90 percent
That is a fair point - any major hospitalization and you're over your deductible anyways. But the insurance statistic is that about 87% of people with a 3k deductible will reach that in a given year and <95% of people with a 5k deductible will reach that in a given year.

Which means, families are paying more than $1000/mo or 12k/year for a risk thats rarely over 5k. Which means they can decrease their insurance coverage, save $500/mo on their premiums, and save more money each year than their increased deductibles would be.

Plus, our direct care models saves them on the majority of care most people need in a year.

i've been a direct care doc since 9/2010 and happy to answer any questions. to (quickly) define the model: $10-100/patient/month for unlimited home/work/office/technology visits, no copays, any procedure we can do in the office is included free, and wholesale savings on medicines, labs, imaging, pathology of up to 95% (yes!)

We can then take all of this value and go back to an employer and help decrease insurance costs by 30-60%.
Consistency is probably our biggest weakness. We try but we are not as disciplined as we should be. Thanks for the reality check.

Heads-up display: Google Glass was weird. The focus was on "gargoyle" stuff, not on AR. The display needs to integrate with and enhance reality. Not a small area in a corner.

Speech-to-text interface: That works very well for me. For short messages, anyway. Proofreading and editing is essential, however. To avoid embarrassment and confusion.
He ignored his real responsibility to her for many years. He stole from Wozniak. Whether they achieved reconciliation or not is irrelevant to my point; we forgive people for the wrongs they've done to us for all sorts of reasons, but that doesn't erase the wrongs done. He had a habit of only caring about people while they were useful to him, and that is, in fact, a huge stain on his character, whether or not people in his life accepted it.
You're both begging the question that only candidates from top universities get interviews.
Here's the thing: If Yahoo was in such dire shape that it couldn't be saved (that seems to be the consensus), it should have been scrapped and sold for parts to maximize shareholder value.

Instead Marissa squandered hundreds of millions of dollars on random acquisitions and Katie Couric. In my mind there is nothing noble or defensible about coming into a dire situation, throwing a Hail Mary and then shrugging when it doesn't work.
We here this question a lot - how do i afford the insurance PLUS the membership. To which we try to show how can you afford your insurance WITHOUT the membership. BC the directcare model can decrease the patients out of pocket expenses dramatically on visits, copays, procedures, medicines and labs.

IME wifi isn't much a problem anymore. Might want to look up the chipset before purchase to be sure, but I've had zero issues since maybe 2006?

Sleep is still kinda annoying. Every once in a while my machine ends up not going to sleep when I close the lid and I end up with a hot brick at 2% battery when I take it out of my bag. TBF this has happened to me with MBPs too, though.

Battery life is a major differentiator. Mac wins there for all normal use cases.

You sort of have to pick one.

Google is paranoid about PII. Most recruiters at Google are contractors, not allowed to access any PII. Heck, even as a high level engineer/manager, you're not allowed to see PII unless you have a specific business reason or work on an abuse or security team where you have business reasons to see the information, and even then the access is logged and traced.

My question for you is, even if you believe this is the case, are you still using Google services?
They have different standards for different groups. If you are a second tier employee or contractor they they know they can pay less and treat worse they hire you for positions that they don't care about as much.

As ex-cognizant employee, I completely agree. My 4yr with them in India is absolute worst career decision. Manager(s) did treat fellow employee as slave. If you think yourself as a person with some kind of self-respect , I bet you will never grow up on career. Their managers want shoe-lickers not talents. Since the work is mostly junk, even school student can do them after few months of training. Ive seen these outsourced companies cheating their foreign clients like creating fake billings when employees are actually on leave or working on some other project.

Indian (outsourced) IT is so bad, I'd say almost 80% people in US(working for bodyshops) is there because they are close to management not due to their talents.

I have lot of friends, who stuck in their life thanks to IT. They do all the hard work in india but their counter-part in onsite gets the reward and visibility, I feel very sorry for them.
Wiles was weird at the time. Math is done in public, he just really wanted to be the one to have the final valid proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.

That may be, and you seem to have a better scoop on the internals.

I was just pointing out that there are very few YHOO investors unhappy with the stock moves 2012-2017 (when benchmarked against S&P 500 or whatever else is commonly accepted metric) compared with, for example, Eric Jackson's war against Terry Semel's (and some directors') compensation package while the stock was in consistent decline https://www.law360.com/articles/26456/advisors-oust-yahoo-di...

I don't think that is true. In 2012 Yahoo had $5B a year in revenue and was the second most visited property on the web.

When Thompson stepped down the board were given two proposals. The first, revive Yahoo as a premium tech firm lead by someone like Mayer, or 2. admit that Yahoo is now a media co and double down on the verticals where Yahoo is winning - especially those where you can sell premium ads (Finance, Sport)

The board had delusions of grandeur and saw Yahoo's as still being on the same level as Google rather than taking the safer bet and building out the media company.

Being a media company isn't as interesting - but there are a lot of public, medium sized tech media co's out there who get along just fine (and some even have an innovative breakthrough every now and then - like IAC) - and Yahoo, with the later plan, would have been the best of this bunch.
As a family physician, i can tell you that most physicians lose money on medicare rates b/c of the added administrative costs. And that just got worse 1/2017 with the addition of 962 pages of new laws (medicare:macra/mips).
Both times, those were rogue employees caught by Google, who had legitimate business reasons to access the data.

I mean, Google is a big company. If you can come up with a 100% accurate way to screen for people who would never act in an unethical way, the FBI and CIA would like to have a word.

I guess you can still find weird wireless cards, but in practice, I've gone a decade or so (3 upgrades) without issues. A really minimal research will likely give you a fully compatible choice.

Anecdata: I have a wifi extender at home just so a MacBook doesn't disconnect every few minutes. ThinkPad with Intel wifi and Linux didn't need it.
Any online poker pro will tell you that 120,000 hands is nothing. You can win over the first 120,000 hands and lose over the next 120,000 hands or break even. This is because the margins are low and the variance is very high. Someone winning 2 big blinds per 100 hands (with 80 bb variance) will win between 7901bb and -3141bb 95% of the time.
The reason why you don't understand is because it's shortcomings are your baseline, while more experienced people's baseline was people spending tens of millions to get something that only worked for toy examples.

Yes, I can list plenty of cases where translation fails. For example not understanding that in a conversation about specialist topic X (eg Ruby programming, or the game of G) that seemingly common terms have specific meanings. But I can also use it on a random newspaper article in a different language and expect to understand the result. This was something that I did not expect to happen in my lifetime.
I'd think continual dental issues would be a pretty good motivator. Getting dental work sucks. But if you're having continual issues, cutting down sugar and/or brushing more frequently during the day would probably have more impact.

There are also chocolate and caramel chews with calcium. They aren't great either but they're alright.
You are still not providing evidence.

You're also making bold claims ("any app from just about any...") that my personal experience can just not validate. It's very easy to write applications without fancy dependencies. Recently I did algorithms, systems and applications in C, C++, python, sdl, alsa, X11, Unix shell scripting, lp_solve, and some web programming in python, javascript, sqlite3. All rock solid and stable - all will probably run on any Linux box from the last 5-10 years (python3 came only in about 2008; forget about the lp_solve bindings and just use the command-line tool).

There are 2050 python3-* packages on my system. Not that I think it's a good idea to use most of them. What's "compatible"?

So what are the libraries you absolutely need? What is this week's secret sauce?

> Of course I ditched the "magic" mouse pretty quickly

I'm now questioning myself on this comment. I have med-large hands and the magic mouse, even though not intuitive at first, became my favorite mouse. I've tried many difference mouses (I believe that's the plural of the computer kind) since swiping to go back/forth on web pages is so much easier.

I guess its dogmatic; I freely use shortcuts on web browsers to switch to specific tabs or going back/forth when doing research/googling/SO but when I'm browsing/reading/wasting time, and only using the mouse, the swipe is quite intuitive.

Now I have to see if: it's easier to swipe between pages or use a 3rd/4th button to perform similar tasks...i'm sure it's nerdy/geeky but its an interesting question nonetheless, from the daily routine standpoint.
Also a key takeaway that brain drain is real and incredibly destructive for any underdeveloped country.
This, this, a thousand times this. One thing that Apple has done very well is put together a website that:

A.) Tells you what they are selling, and
B.) Can sell it to you.

Why is it so hard for other vendors to figure out that this is a pretty good way to sell computers?

My girlfriend bought an Asus Zenbook the other day; it's a really nice machine and made me wonder whether there might be a Zenbook for me. So I ended up on http://www.asus.com/zenbook/global/index.html. Is there a product list? No. A comparison feature? No. A way to buy, like, anything at all? Fuck you, says Asus. Here, have a bunch of annoying marketing copy; if you like that enough then maybe you can buy from some online retailer who has screwed up the model-numbers, unless you'd rather go to a shop were some know-nothing highschooler will try to make a commission by upselling you.

Had the same experience with HP. I take your word for it that Leno and Dell and Acer are similar. Really made me appreciate Apple's retail mechanisms (as much as I'm aiming to exit their ecosystem).

Seriously, industry: WTF? Get it together, guys!
Rust and Cargo promotes a high degree of modularity and thus re-usability. While the image library is being hosted under the Piston project's GitHub profile, the image library has nothing to do with a game engine. Piston's image library is being used in Servo, for example. Rust has created an ideal open source ecosystem.
It's a perfectly fine failure mode in applications where failure of any type is automatically catastrophic anyway - for instance, a submarine's pressure hull.
You should be more excited about changing your habits.
Yes, definitely feasible, but challenging.

Some ideas:
a) Focus on a niche, like the best search experience for hackers, or best search experience on mobile for high school students, etc.

b) Do content-based ranking, ie. figure out the good-ness of a website based on an automated analysis of what it's about, instead of depending on the link-graph that powers PageRank.
SDL does, though.
Eh, we can get into the picometers with analog molecular films. Got any semiconductors at that scale?
Two videos I'd like to share (well, one video, and one playlist)...

The first is a 'flashover simulator'. This is a training tool for firefighters to help them recognize the signs of a 'flashover'. A flashover occurs when the radiant heat of the fire is sufficient to cause pyrolysis and ignition of more or less every surface in the room simultaneously (the floor, furniture, etc).

I'm mostly sharing this because sitting in one of these is where it first clicked for me that fire burns gasses, not solids. Watching the fire snake lazily through the smoke overhead, until it felt like I was sitting on the bottom pool, looking up at the surface.

The second is Bill Hammack (The Engineer Guy) delivering Faraday's lecture series on The Chemical History of a Candle. This is a truly excellent lecture series, despite its age (they did choose to keep most of the original language, which can take a little getting used to)

> Yes, she wasn't able to keep the ship from sinking. But I do think she put in a good-faith effort.

Are we giving out an A for effort now? CEOs are hired to achieve results. If they fail, it doesn't matter how hard they tried.

Maybe nobody could have prevented the failure of Yahoo. But that doesn't get Mayer off the hook for being a bad CEO -- she made bad decisions, managed to piss off the shareholders, executive team, and rank-and-file employees, hid major security breaches, and did not succeed at any of the things she tried to do. She had no major positive achievements during her entire tenure as CEO.

The best that can realistically be said about her is that she was a bad CEO stuck in an impossible situation.
Ivey played successfully at the nosebleeds in HU, he'd crush face. He's probably a step below durrrr, galfond and blom, but still really really good.
Dtrace? systemtap is not close to dtrace performance and ease of use.
I'd rather switch to freebsd or dragonfly than back to linux.
I'm going to hazard a guess that the main thing that "needed changing" was "not having $425 million".

Honestly, as a native english speaker who is usually a nazi in spelling, grammar and pronunciation - octopi sounds most intuitively "correct" to me. Octopuses sounds awkward and inconsistent with idiomatic English, like a non-native speaker might guess at. Octopodes sounds like a scientific term.

As far as I'm concerned octopi is correct. Screw the etymology.
Previous generation X1. Easily getting 6h of scripting. (As in, no heavy compiler or processing needed) Slightly warm, but no issues with heat.

This is arguably true, but the board decided otherwise, and the board represents the shareholders.
Ivey played HU vs. Tom Dwan, Galfond, Blom, etc. and did fine. There's no way they're favorites against Ivey.
Green cards too. My family moved out of America a few months after my dads work had secured us greecards at a total of $350,000 (iirc - for the family of 7). These were voided as we didn't stay in the country long enough to validate them - what a waste.
Even that little bit of having to research is enough to deter mainstream users, and so we're back to OS X or Windows. A Linux distribution or two has to get to the point where it's stable, doesn't have some sort of possible compatibility issue with hardware, and is strongly supported and encouraged for mainstream use by a large PC manufacturer.
Do you have any stats to back that claim up?
Dude, i said the person who discovered alien life, not invited it over to have us for pizza. I'm fine with peeking at them from behind that planet until they've made their intention clear.
I actually find these articles depressing because it seems like nothing like this ever ultimately comes to fruition.

I'm guessing these "breakthroughs" have always been just around the corner. I recall having a conversation with my dentist almost 20 years ago about things that were up and coming that were about to make our lives a lot easier in terms of saving and strengthening and building tooth enamel but none of what he described ever came.

Don't blame Marissa for simply accepting what the CEO market was willing to pay her. You and I and every single human being would do no different in her shoes. If you have a problem with it, blame the market for poor judgement in capital allocation.
Because their shareholders expect the biggest return for their money. This isn't a problem for self-funded companies (they don't have to live beyond their means if they don't need to), but if investors don't see growth they'll sell shares while it's still at its peak. That's business for you.

You seem to be imagining very impressive machine learning. I agree that's the right thing in the very long run.

I don't understand why you say the simple version is "unworkable" though. Currently many forums just use a heuristic based on date and "total number of upvotes" to decide what to display. Would you describe that as unworkable?
Take vitamin D, it increases your calcium absorption.
It still gets me the original tags/attributes were all uppercase. Personally, I'm quite thankful that didn't stick.
Linux laptops: buy pre-installed. If you want linux and you want to be sure everything is functional, AND you don't want to devote lots of time to a "project" buy a pre-install. Dell Developer Edition laptops (XPS 13, 15) make great laptops. I hear good things about system 76 and purism as well.

Save time. Support having good laptops and good drivers. Buy pre-installed. Paying the "windows tax" and installing a Linux on a windows laptop isn't just more work, it is bad for the ecosystem.

The differences in the examples you provided have more to do with the exposure settings of the camera than the carbon (soot) content of the flame. It's actually the heated carbon particles that give flames their yellow color. The soot itself is what's glowing.
You are not pessimistic. It's another one of those thing that have been only a few years away from commercialization for 20 years now.

> hopefully that is spent in the US, instead of hoarded for a princely return to India.

Did you notice the anti-equality implications of what you said there? It's roughly equivalent to:

"I hope that when poor people get rich, they eventually give their money back to the rightfully rich people and don't keep it for themselves or use it to support their poor family or to develop their poor economy."

Do you apply that idea generally to any poor people or just Indians?
Completely agree. Many pains in the ass from ordering my 4th generation X1 Carbon off Lenovo's site, even while tracking the absurdly lengthy shipment. My past Mac purchases were pleasures, by comparison.
There's no need for two styles of package managers. GNU Guix and Nix can serve both purposes (and more) very well, for example.

I think language-specific package managers are fine for easily sharing source code amongst developers using the same language, but they shouldn't be used in a production system.
Why are we determined to deny that things are getting better?
The workflow on Linux is very different, you just have to get used to it, but it's ok if not better in some ways. I mean instead of designing websites in raster with a bit of vector, like people do in Photoshop, you would have to do it in vector with a bit of raster, because the raster editor there being Gimp and all is quite limited and slow, but the vector one (Inkscape) is very powerful. So, for people coming from Photoshop it could be a refreshing learning experience, beneficial for productivity.
Atlassian is not known for great product experiences so I don't think it is at all unjustified to fear that a product people genuinely seem to love to use will turn into an uninspired mess.
