It's clearly not undirected -- it's explicitly to fight in court the executive order as unconstitutional, which then applies to the entire US and not just their own tiny ecosystem.

Further, 3mil to their own drivers (which I haven't heard about but whatever) doesn't change US law -- so if their driver is booted out of the country, a few thousand dollars ain't much if you're thrown into a civil war or worse.
I agree with what you are you just said... but in the original comment were you trying to say that the Chinese Manufacturers should be getting the credit instead of this dumb kid?

Also... being good at marketing is indeed something special. Many a start-up has floundered because they couldn't market themselves properly.

Not saying this guy isn't a leech who doesn't deserve the praise from this write-up, but it is the end of the day and I guess I'm just feeling a little feisty. Sorry...
So there's an essay I thought it was called The Scientist and The Sage by Asimov (or Sagan?) but I can't currently find a link.

The point though is that there's only a couple useful things you can say about the universe: it has a definite begin and a definite end, an infinite beginning and no end, some combination of that, or it's cyclical... and because there's a very limited set of possibilities it's trivial to find an ancient sage opining on something that sounds like the big bang and the heat death of the universe.

Similarly either this universe is all there is or 'the multiverse' which means it's very easy to find historic sources spouting off things that sound like a multiverse. With out actual evidence, math, science behind it though it's not interesting that they came to this conclusion because simply guessing that this is the way of things doesn't push our understanding forward.
From the enterprise customer side, I assure you, we also feel your pain.
You forget the one probably underlying problem: the feeling that Apple has given up or on its way to give up the Mac.

While I've had this feeling at times in the recent past myself, there's a kind of irony in this conversation being reinforced by the new MBP. Apple committed the time and resources necessary to essentially build an entire new iOS device and integrate it into the Mac, including the Touch ID sensor, and add explicit support for it in the majority of their applications (over two dozen, ranging from the little freebies like Notes and Preview up to all of iWork, FCP, Motion and Logic).

Whether one thinks the Touch Bar is "worth it" -- or even the right approach to adding touch support to the Mac -- is a different debate, of course, and worth arguing about. But if Apple wasn't committed to the Mac product line, it's hard to see why they would have bothered. This isn't something they just hacked together at the last minute to make it look like they've been doing something; they've really been doing something. For the Touch Bar to make sense it's going to have to show up on the non-pro Macbook this year, and I suspect on the Magic Keyboard.

I think the real anger is around what's going on with the desktop Mac line, particularly the Mac Pro and the Mac mini. I suspect that the new "trashcan" design had some kind of critical flaw that left Apple in a Catch-22 situation: they can't upgrade it without changing the design, but the market is too small for them to spend a lot of money changing the design again.

This is a huge problem by itself. H-4 EAD after I-140 is not enough because that forces you to stay with your current employer until you get your I-140. If you are going to restrict H-1B to highly skilled immigrants, then H-4 EAD should be eligible for any H-1B holder's spouse regardless of I-140 status. Otherwise you are basically saying "we only welcome highly skilled immigrants that are single"
What's stopping you from listing the prices for each service provided? And/or providing a price calculator?

It's not going to be more involved than a call, I don't have to deal with your sales people and I get, at worst, an approximate figure.

If your pricing cannot fit within this model, I would assume you do price discrimination or have serious pricing issues.
It really depends. For example, take lambic beer production. This is a spontaneously fermented beer from Pajottenland, near Brussels. You can easily hit 8-9% alcohol.

The key is that the microflora that innoculates the wort was living in the barrels. When you had a "good" barrel, you would keep brewing in it. When the barrel went "bad" you would destroy it and burn it. The entire brewery would be a source of yeast and in some breweries it was considered very bad form to clean. Even today, there are some Belgian breweries where you can get fired if you kill a spider (the spiders catch fruit flies that can bring in wort spoiling bacteria). Once you had a good, stable population of yeast/bacteria you could maintain it simply by overwhelming other beasties. When I first started homebrewing, I didn't know that much and I must have gone nearly 10 years without ever disinfecting anything. I had a definite "house flavour" in my beer, but it was far from bad.

Anyway, these days, in order to get up to 10% (or higher) alcohol level, you will go with a single strain with high alcohol tolerance. But there are several traditional multi-strain cultures that do a very good job and have a very interesting flavour profile. Quite frequently you'll have one strain that ferments quickly and drops out fast with a second one that is "powdery" and hangs in suspension for months. Finally you will have a "chaining" yeast that will drag the "powdery" yeast out of suspension. You end up with having most of the flavour profile of the first yeast, while the powdery yeast will bring the terminal gravity down and the last yeast will brighten the beer. Some really famous yeast cultures (like Worthington Whiteshield) are composed of 5 or more strains working in concert. It is truly amazing what people accomplished just with selective techniques.

Having said that, some styles that are currently quite high alcohol were traditionally much sweeter. Bock styles were drunk by monks during lent. These beers had to be sweet enough to sustain them, because they ate nothing else during that period. A friend of mine who did quite a lot of research in the area (because he wanted to do the same thing... :-P) reckoned that historical bocks were probably only 3-4% alcohol.

If you account for all the money that's gone into Products that have no real human value, and add on top the fact that the companies making them avoid taxes like the devil, we begin to see the scale of the tragedy.
I would never take a test before talking to the hiring manager. It's a two way street, how would I know if you want to work for them?

That said, it's a great signal: the fact that they aren't willing to put in the work to talk to you first lets you know that they don't respect potential employees and can't compete with companies who do. Thus they have to go for volume. You don't want to work for a "minimum effort" kind of outfit.

From what I understand prohibition was the result of revolutionary drinking habits meeting up with increasing supplies of industrialized and cheap high alcohol beer and spirits.
I was watching the development of a social video app and I could see it needs a lot of work. The app is this one: https://www.liveedu.tv/rlech/videos/ryQO5-meteorcordova-soci...
Web components, Progressive Web Apps, Fetch, etc.
The 30th app consistently makes about $4k~ / day (in the social category). The 10th makes 10-15k~/day. About 4-5x the number to get other countries.

This is the social network category in one country on one device -- overall worldwide a dozen or so apps gross >$1m/day.

The 4x8 sheets of melamine backer board is cheap, cheap, cheap! Where I currently work, we have 80 linear feet of the stuff on our walls in our dev area (held up with nails and construction adhesive). It isn't fancy, but my employer believes more in results than being "impressive" (plus, we don't get any clients back here anyhow).
It doesn't restrict just browsers, but every app that uses a WebView. This also isn't the only thing they're doing on that front.
It's how it works, and it's wrong. It's incorrect. It's badly designed. It should be fixed.

> the ACLU is by definition anti-government

I'd rephrase that as "in favor of the rule of law". Governments break the law all the time and need some form of checks and balances to correct wrongdoing.
No, the FISA Act restricted warrantless domestic surveillance by criminalizing it in response to abuses, largely by the Nixon Administration, before there was any statute law addressing the issue. What legally opened the door for subsequent warrantless surveillance was the passage of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 which loosened the FISA restrictions to make legal what the Bush Administration had already been doing.
Yeah, that whole "5 million jobs in 15 economies will be lost"... it's such a weird thing to say, that a job will be lost. Some kinds of jobs have to continue forever. Other types of jobs are tasks that will eventually be complete and the workers will have to move on to the next thing.

There is TONS of work that needs to be done though. Teachers like you said, health care workers, psychologists to help us deal with the inevitable mental problems, mountain bike trail maintainers, pickers of plastic trash out of the ocean, people to design apis for distributing government transparency data, designers of infographics to help the rest of us make sense of that data, and on and on and on. There's so much to do, when you stop thinking of a "job" as something provided for you by the government or a company, and rather as value that you can contribute to the world. Another disruptive business is going to figure out how to make it possible to pay people for contributing that kind of value.
The usual way these games are solved is to create an "abstract" game which is tractable, find the Nash equilibrium, and map state in the real game back to the "abstract" game. In the limit, the solutions for a well designed "abstract" game will converge to that of the real game.
I guess you need to think about this more as a monetized version of hitchhiking than a free Uber/Lyft. Cause in terms of liability there is about 0 coverage. You can't even know if the driver is insured at all. While I love the idea of the app and it's openness, I am not sure there would be a market/use for it where Uber/Lyft is available.
It seems really strange that you are applying to a position and get challenges, yet you have no-one to talk to.

Companies have recruiters, other recruiters pitch you to them, there were times when I had an agent.
> AirBnb and Uber have regulations applied to them

Am I missing something -- are there new regulations that hit Uber/AirBNB in ways that incumbents aren't hit, or are they just not successful when their 'competitive edge' (some would call this 'cheating') is taken away?

Probably, Red Rock Coffee on Castro St.

Well, you'd better arrange it with them first. Only the upstairs room would be appropriate for a group discussion, and you'd need to make sure it doesn't collide with scheduled events there (e.g. all Monday evenings and many weekends). You should also guarantee them a minimum amount of patronage to make up for the ad hoc visitors you would displace (they are a nonprofit co-op, after all).

I think the issue was partially with the content owners (as mentioned in another reply to your comment) but mostly about internet speeds and processing power available at the time. Remember what YouTube videos looked like in 2006?
I'm not sure what remote software they were using, but I do know they had spiked the filesystem with files the perps were downloading remotely (named in such a manner to make them seem like worthwhile targets).

Not sure if you're serious about 1 update per year...iOS has ~4 major releases per year. (9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3). Safari receives updates in each one. iOS 10.3, which is in beta, comes with tons of Safari changes.
Then iOS isn't for you. I feel like this is a weird argument.
Yep, also gotta watch for cheese pizza.
It's not inherently safer but Uber does do things that most taxi companies don't that help improve safety, albeit slightly. Really basic things like providing the user with a photo of the driver and a description of the car including license plate so the user can be sure (well, more sure) that the car that arrived is the car they requested.

As far as I'm aware (in my experience) the only way you can compare the taxi driver's face to their license is by getting in to the back of the car, where the license photo is visible.
Salespeople are most effective in situations where convincing one person or one committee within a large prospective company to buy your product will unleash tens or better yet hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees to you, the seller. Most other situations should probably be handled with a great web page that shows reasonable pricing.

Dynamic Soaring
That's a somewhat naive view. It presupposes that the current system is just, because (1) all members of society had an equal hand in shaping the current system, (2) that it was designed to serve the interests of society as a whole (rather than those who benefit most from it), and (3) that it would be easy to change the system if a consensus emerged among a majority (or even a vast majority) of society that such change was desirable. I disagree with all three presuppositions.

Machine learning experts are in higher supply, your anecdotal experience offers little weight. High demand creates a high supply which drives wages to zero.

But for example, could you ship Gecko with Apple's JS engine in a way that will satisfy Apple's requirements? Of course the answer is no, but it's worth taking a second to think about why that is.

I guess what's bothering me is that there is an unstated assumption underlying this entire discussion which people never bring up: for performance reasons, the rendering engine has to be tied closely to the JS implementation. Specifically, calling over some IPC interface at every entrypoint into the JS interpreter would be a performance nightmare. This is the reason why these can't be disentangled. The connection to the interpreter is really an indirect one.

From what I've seen, contrary opinions that are well expressed are rewarded (even if controversial - I've got a few that ultimately got more up votes than down, but it was a ride). Contrary opinions that, well, presume a fight? Not so much.
I don't think it's a coincidence that they moved to the same 0.25% fee tier as Wealthfront. Though I don't believe Betterment is matching the first $10k managed for free. It was always more appealing to get started with Wealthfront than Betterment because of this.

If someone is putting in a few hundred dollars per month or less, a $3 per month fee on Betterment was robbery percentage wise.

When the chiclet keyboards came out, I immediately liked typing on them and thought they were as good or better than any previous laptop keyboard.

I ordered a 2016 Macbook Pro, but when I tried the keyboard out in store I didn't like it very much. I was about 10-20% slower typing on it, and made far more mistakes than normal. I'm a fast typist so it was a big deal to me that the keyboard wasn't good. It just didn't feel right.

I didn't cancel my order, against my better judgement, thinking that I might get used to the new keyboard. While waiting for it I went back to the store a couple times and spent 30 minutes typing on the new keyboard, but still it didn't feel right.

When my laptop arrived, same feeling. After a week I was ready to return it, but had holiday return window so didn't rush it. Finally after 2 weeks it clicked, and I was typing up to speed and it felt good. Now when I go back to chiclet the keys feel heavy and squishy.

Something about the keyboard was a very big adjustment from any other I've used, and my first impression of it was quite bad. But now that I've gotten used to it I actually prefer it to anything else.

Maybe it's Stockholm syndrome, take that for what you will.
I cannot decide whether you post is ironical or not.

Disagree. If society believes that supporting families is an important social priority, it is up to the government to put in place the best policies to enable that to happen. 'Making money' is only one way to achieve that goal.

Sigh. Here's the Department of Labor explanation (at https://www.dol.gov/whd/immigration/h1b.htm):

"The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation is one that requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States."
