You don't think any of the skills needed to manage people or businesses can be taught in school?

I feel very fortunate that one of my cofounders has an MBA. We'd be much worse off if I had to build financial models and negotiate contracts and motivate the team myself.

Having an MBA obviously doesn't automatically qualify you to manage a dev team (nor does being a good engineer), but speaking from my first hand experience, the skills have value.
I'd just like to share something I found called
https://phrase.io/
(for some reason cert is invalid, I'll be emailing them to find why just continue)

this is a video conferencing site, that has a function you might like called ''the hand''

its just a icon that pop's up on the chat avatar that looks like a little hand..

and when you click it it says ''raise hand to speak''

so here's my thought. everyone joins.
starts the hand.

As soon as a person is done with their project notes, (which they type out) they take off the hand.

Chat then goes to the next person, who types out their project details, again using video to talk text to save data.

once they are done they take off the hand.
as soon as all hands are off the chat, the person who's job is to save notes copies all chat and saves it wherever.

chat can then go to general chat, or end after leaving a message for the team.

I interviewed at the NYC office a few months ago and had a good experience. The people I met were smart, friendly, and respected my time.
We allow our 14 year old son to use Uber all of the time for our convenience/his independence but we used Uber for the first time last weekend during a "staycation". Out of the 6 drivers we had, 4 of them said they do it for a little extra spending money or to break the monotony of their day job. One of the drivers was a manager at Verizon's corporate office. When I was single and if I had enjoyed driving and wanted to kill some time, I could have seen myself being an Uber driver occasionally.

I taught fitness classes a few times a week for years part time because I enjoyed it. It definitely wasn't for the money.
I spent a lot of time looking for a small bluetooth food scale that I could put under my plate but wasn't able to find anything. If I ever find some free time I might try to make one.

Would be cool if I could pull one out from my pocket, stick it under my plate, get a measurement then subtract whatever is left after I'm done.

> The way to affordable housing is high density, mid-to-high rise condos.

How though? Density sounds good on paper, and has tons of side benefits, but (as the blog post explains) the cost of land + construction jumps significantly.

I know here in the US, there basically is no such thing as "affordable high density condos". High density urban housing is expensive, by definition. So much so that there isn't a single unsubsidized affordable high-density urban housing unit in my entire state.

The only place I'm aware of that has affordable urban housing is Japan. And that's mainly due to a combination of having no meaningful population growth, and having excellent public transit literally everywhere. Two things the US simply can't have in our lifetime
FWIW, this story did not originally come from the Independent. It was syndicated from the Washington Post:

Researchers sign over the copyright and provide their work, often taxpayer funded, free to publishers who then get other researchers to review the papers — also free. The publishers then sell journal subscriptions — some titles cost more than $5,000 a year — back to universities and the federal government. And if someone wants an article, that costs about $35, so that person is paying for the research and to read the results.

That's a racket.
I've built many apps using Ionic, and usually with good results. I think the problem is that people don't really look at their 'use case' when designing their apps. There are apps where a hybrid solution works great, and apps where is doesn't.

If you are going to build an app that requires you to display 1000 items in a scrolling list, then yeah, forget any sort of Hybrid or Cordova based app - go full native.

Similarly if you want to have complex background geo-location tracking that doesn't suck your battery dry. You can't optimise that using Cordova as the 'go between', but you have to go native.

Outside of that, Ionic/Cordova will cover you bases and let you get apps to market 20x quicker without your users realising that it is not a native app.
Servers in different regions don't have to do double nat. You may not have this problem, but some people do. And it sucks.

Actually, the phishing theory is a very plausible explanation of where sci-hub gets passwords from. I can't imagine someone giving up their password voluntarily even if they believe in the cause. That can lead to very serious repercussions with your university. The fact that Elbakyan does not deny this explanation outright gives it further credence.
(Full disclosure: I love sci-hub.)
I don't know why they didn't look in the USA. I don't want a cheap crappy phone but I think $500 or more for a phone is insanity (and not because I can't afford it). I want a decent phone for under $200. Right now I'm using a Moto G which has been great for me. I would very likely have bought a Firefox phone if I could have simply to not be entangled with Apple or Google.
Most of the coverage appears to've started after the indictment and other legal problems caught up with Libgen. Once they've started, waging a PR fight helps.
The anti-science posture of Trump specifically and Republicans generally is alarming by itself. The steady denials of observable fact by this administration and the immediate scrubbing of executive-controlled public relations pages of factual materials about topics that are very inconvenient for them makes worries of Orwell's memory hole very, very reasonable.

This isn't hysteria. This is insurance. Don't be That Guy.

> What got Microsoft in trouble is that they told PC OEMs that they would lose their volume discount for Windows if they shipped another browser alongside Internet Explorer.

What got Microsoft in trouble is that they had a monopoly in PC operating systems and tried to leverage it into a monopoly in browsers.

Apple doesn't have a monopoly in PC operating systems. They have a monopoly in iOS app stores. It's like having a retail monopoly for washing machines in the state of California. It doesn't matter how many retailers there are in Florida when nobody in California is going to drive to Florida to buy a washing machine.

It doesn't matter how many Android app stores there are when you can't buy an iOS app from them and you can't use Android apps on iOS.

Now here is he problem, the org needs someone like that but again the expectation is to contribute equally in the implementation during every sprint as his hours are accounted for sprint velocity. In this case I can't hire someone who does not write a complex sql or merge two linked list in code etc .

Most of th programmers are so young in this part of the world that Anyone having more than 9 years of tech would expect an architect position and there are high chances that is not actively programming in his previous company and thus it becomes nesssary to eveluate coding skills

Unfortunately it looks like VPC ELBs are still IPv4 only. They have a link in the article from when they introduced IPv6 for non-VPC ELBs back in 2011. Are VPC ELBs being worked on anymore or are we going to have to move to Application Load Balancers for IPv6 support?

I liked the idea of the steam controller, but I returned it for a refund. The act of getting a configuration that I was happy with ended up just making me wonder why I shouldn't just play with a 360 controller or a mouse and keyboard anyway (even from the couch I've found a comfortable position for a mouse).
Not dealing with carrier grade NAT messing up your analytics from mobile carriers in the near future. T-Mobile and Verizon are pushing IPv6 hard because of address space depletion.
Yeah, instead of writing a small tool to solve your own problem quickly you ought to spend your time pushing this giant boulder up a hill. Good luck with that pitch!
It's simple: CO2 greenhouse effect is proven, the concentration of CO2 is measured and is increasing, the temperature is measured and is increasing. Clever science can figure out even CO2 concentrations and temperatures of the times when nobody measured.

The expected rise of CO2 closely matches our fosil fuels consumption.

Firebase integrates beautifully with Ionic, and allows real time push, as well as offline caching. I've done it and it works great.

You can also use CouchBase (disclaimer, I haven't tried it yet, but have an app that I will be using it for in the near future).

As a last resort, we also have an app that uses LocalStorage on the device to store an 'offline copy' of a database, and sync up when the user wants to. It works surprisingly well in this particular use case, and no need for any complex library. Just load up the local storage database when the app is launched for the very first time, and then whenever the user does a 'pull to refresh', it goes looking for the latest data from our server - if it cannot find a server connection, it fails gracefully.
Copying is not Stealing.

Please, donate. The best library i've ever used - free, accessible and easy to use - just what library should look like in 2017.

wasps do this with ants all the time. fire ants from south america were introduced to north america by mistake(oops!)...and since then the us dept of ag has been trying to get rid of them because the natural predators of the dreaded fire ants never made it to north american shores. parasitical wasps fly over the ants..drill a hole and lays eggs...the larvae come out in about a day...then the ants' heads explode and its body becomes a baby wasp making factory. isnt nature wonderful?

Again, maybe I'm missing something and if so, you should clarify your messaging.

This seems to share at least some engineering commonality with a demonstration of the dynamic Casimir effect [1], in which an accelerated superconducting region functions as a moving mirror, generating microwave photons out of quantum vacuum fluctuations.

I think it's cool and amazing that we can experimentally investigate such phenomena with tabletop experiments.

Something I've been thinking about on and off since YC announced their "New Cities" research project [1] is whether you could create more affordable cities from scratch in undeveloped land as a sort of speculative public-interest investment.

Suppose you begin with a large lump of money sufficient to buy at least several square miles of rural land and to pay for some basic infrastructure (roads, power lines, sewer, etc..).

At first, you practically give plots of land away to anyone willing to build a house. (Since it's rural, there's little reason to be there unless there's some critical mass of people already there.) Then, as people start moving in, you can raise the price of the lots to recover some of your initial investment and pay for additional infrastructure. Eventually, you should be able to sell lots at far more than the original land cost and recover your investment. This might also spare residents from having to pay taxes until the city is fully grown and there are no more lots to sell.

Some thoughts:

The new city should ideally be near at least some neighboring town with schools, stores, a hospital, and so on to make bootstrapping easier.

This would be an easier sell both to county government and prospective citizens if it were managed by a non-profit institution that is contractually obligated to re-invest profits back into the city. This could be similar to a normal city government, except that in this case the city starts off by owning all the buildable lots.

Partnering with a University that wants to build a new campus on cheap land would be ideal.

Figuring out the right amount of land to buy up-front would be difficult. Too much and it's too expensive and you never sell it all, too little and you'll end up having to buy more adjacent land later at steeply inflated prices or let some other developer buy it and let them absorb all the profits without re-investing it back into the city.

How is Racket anything like R?
Everything is a contract including basic human rights. By birth, you have not signed any. You dont have anything that you can lose. But usually you would implicitly sign "right to freedom" and "property laws" with people around you.

So you did not lose right to move in private properties (because you did not have any) but you gain right/assurance to move freely in public properties without danger to your person.

If aliens invade earth and set their own property laws it would not be stealing. It would be nothing. Because we dont have any contracts with aliens that we can claim aliens have broken.
I saw system logins for academic libraries shared for years on private forums before sci-hub got started. I doubt that sci-hub had trouble collecting willingly shared credentials. More than a decade ago I saw full journal collections circulated via forums and semi-private FTP sites or password protected archives on sites like rapidshare. There were obviously a number of scripted download/archival efforts initiated by different people.

When I was a researcher I published articles in closed journals because that's just how the game is played. But the publishers can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. In public discussions I've occasionally seen professors take the publishers' side against open access or pirates. I've never seen graduate students be anything but grateful for easy access to articles. (Of course with this comment I am just begging for a contrarian graduate student to write an ode to the reader-pays model.)

There is some argument here that the coal jobs being proposed are related to "clean coal tech" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_coal_technology). Given that most of our energy comes from coal in this country, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to think that those jobs could be created in this sector.

Judging from the research, the approach for sequestering is quite expensive. In addition, pumping CO2 into subsurface layers of the earth only increases the risks of leaks.

Basically, this is probably where the industry is headed and some states are probably going to go full board with this approach while others will pursue renewables.

I will say, despite the issues I've seen regarding climate change denial - it is promising to hear the use of "clean coal" tech, as much as I cringe hearing it. Seems to imply that there is at least some level of concern for the environment - rather than none at all.

Once you get to general, for example, the control problem is a lot more difficult because of the required precision.
The reality is that the people coming in at the top of the Trump administration don't yet know what they are doing, and the mid-level staff who usually handle all the details are mostly not hired yet; they're behind schedule on filling those roles.

So I think it's plausible that they are mostly just trying to slow the federal machine down a lot, to make it easier for them, as understaffed newbies, to understand and manage.

That said, demanding that the government collect, use, and freely communicate accurate scientific knowledge seems idempotent: you will always get a positive result from doing it.
So they can pay less? Do you have any idea how much FB pays?
Hey, thanks for the thoughtful response.

We're not doing any reinforcement learning, we just fine tune the net as we get more data (and occasionally train from scratch when we add a lot of new classes).

In regards to (A), we plan to start skipping the selection steps for predictions that we're really confident in and will just add them by default. I think once we have enough data we might even be able to predict what users will eat before they take a picture. I eat practically the same thing for breakfast every day of the week so it could just log it for me without requiring me to do any work. Same goes for things like coffee shops, we don't ask for location right now but if you always get the same thing when you walk into a coffee shop, we could just log it for you based on the fact that you were there.

B. We keep track of our predictions and what users end up logging so we can tell what our weaknesses are. When we train new models we prioritize the weakly performing classes, especially if they're popular among our users.

Perl hung onto too many of its warts for too long to stand a chance of competing with Ruby and Python. Only recently has Perl5 introduced real function parameters instead of unrolling @. Flattened lists are another one but the worst is having to specify "use 5.020;" if I'm using Perl 5.20. They've even carried this "tradition" into Perl6 where you have to specify "use v6;" at the top of EVERY damned script. That's progress? Prefixing every variable with "my" is another one which found its way into Perl6. Why can't an advanced language have default lexical scope?
Agreed. Reads like an AI trying a bit too hard to appear human. Charged with emotion, arrogance, lacking reasoning.
A great deal of the publishing industry in the United States was founded on copyright infringement.

And there is not really a case of "stealing" an idea--which is incidentally one of the most tiresome claims anyone ever makes--but rather distributing the fully-credited articles through alternative channels.
