I wonder where all of a sudden all this mass sympathy for taxi drivers come from. I guess no one remembers how shitty and expensive trying to get a cab was in SF not even 10 years ago. I for one will be celebrating when the entire medallion system is completely dismantled and all the monopolists who exploited that system are bankrupt.

This could potentially mean allowing NSA expanded capabilities. Not necessarily, though, I guess.
Exactly the same here. I actually only go to co-working spaces when I have very little work to do but the urge to be among people. When I need to be productive, I stay home.
Yes, data would be best. Maybe it's hard to make money as an Uber driver. But driving cab is not such a great job either.
I'm going to make this work for me too.

If this would allow me to keep the original image files in the cloud and only pull down the ones I want to work with, that would be awesome! I have the downsampled images on my laptop now and the originals on an external hard drive that's backed up to the cloud, but it would obviously be a lot more convenient to have the hard drive hold the backup.
Trump fires acting AG after she declines to defend travel ban

At that got them the same or worse deal than they would get with Uber, which doesn't have a union? That sounds like a great return on union membership fees.
Ah? I do not have to force myself a bit.
Wrong. In no way, shape or form did Obama formulate this policy.

Obama never banned people with legal, existing visas and permanent residents from entering the country.
According to her announcement, she seemed to believe that the order was unlawful. As she was the most important litigator in the land, I don't think it's as cut and dry as you say.
Nukemap – Model effects of nuclear explosions
The iOS app is a complete mess. I can't delete notes, I can't access Archives, I can't rename folders nor delete them. I can't move notes between folders.

This leads me to believe the app was rushed but apparently there's a version history I the App Store. I left as much feedback as I could through the app but man, yikes.
Bollocks. Presidents are not above the law; most of them don't need to have their nose rubbed in the carpet in order to learn that.

It is eminently clear that the muslim ban executive order was drafted, written, and released without any of the normal communication, forewarning, or legal reviews. The AG is 100% within their duties to the nation and the constitution to say that they will not enforce something of that nature.
The recording seems okay, but I find it really odd that the scripted voice says "feel your chest rise on an in breath, and feel it fall back down on an out breath." Chest-breathing is something to be avoided, especially in mediation, as it creates tension. The proper method of breathing is diaphragm-based breathing, otherwise called belly-breathing.

This is not a trivial issue for meditation, really strange that they get it wrong. They should be saying, "feel your belly rise on an in breath . . . " and there should also be some instruction on proper method of breathing, since many people are unaware of the difference.
Sure, but cab medallion prices are a function of the artificial scarcity created by their existence in the first place. If you removed venture capitalist subsidies, but kept Uber and Lyft in business (companies who do not artificially constrain the supply of their drivers), the impact on medallion prices would be the same.
Very popular in Russia.
Storage or transportation?
The Soviets really did do a good job in some important areas. No one had taken the basic skills, the "three Rs", seriously in Russia before them; science and engineering were also pretty good (apart from Lysenko in biology), and while 20th-century culture was closed off, 19th-century was certainly accessible. (Hugo and Dumas were a big part of Soviet popular culture, not in the sense of "what the state sponsored" but in the sense of "what people actually read.") Insofar as critical thinking is a subset of logic, science and math taught at least a little of it, too. Understand that I'm not defending the Soviets as a whole -- I think they were mostly cancer, and that the historical record backs me up on that -- but deserve credit where credit's due.

I think that the American right is a unique sort of society, and that patterns drawn from their behavior can't be relied on in most other contexts. Their religions look like Christianity but act like non-syncretistic paganism ("worshiping oneself in the guise of worshiping God"), and their hostility to an awful lot of scholarship seems to originate in not wanting to be taken for a ride -- and in the confidence of many peoples, especially relatively backwards ones, that they already know everything that's necessary in order to live well. (The Persians told Chardin as much in the 1500s, as mentioned in The Structures of Everyday Life.)

Have you read Albion's Seed? If not (and it's about 600 pages of historical scholarship, so I won't blame you), look up Slate Star Codex's review, which makes the book's essential points in reduced (and maybe slightly caricatured) form.
I find it interesting that when other animals kill, it's just a killing, but when something resembling humans does the killing it's murdering. Maybe I'm looking to closely into this.
Lenovo Moto G5 specs, news, and rumors
Yep, been taking mine to the local mom and pop BMW racing club guy shop since day one. The ONE and ONLY time I took my car to the dealer for a free oil change. They didn't put the oil cap back on, sprayed everywhere in the engine as I was leaving, and months later I found out they didn't replace the drain plug access panel underneath. Can't handle oil changes, I sure as shit am not bringing it there for something serious.

Oh, forgot one more thing. They didn't tighten down the coolant cap fully, so that eventually seeped out enough to set off the coolant level alarms.
there aren't many cars in India compared to US or even some small European countries.
Many years ago I read an article which concluded that people who went to school because they wanted to learn about computers were likely to fail. Those who went to school because they wanted to learn to use a computer to do something (make music) (draw pictures) (control a process) (anything) were more likely to succeed.

To be a successful programmer you need to know two things. You need to know how to program. You need to know the subject your program is about, whether it be accounting, process control, graphics, or any other subject.

I started my computer education in 1962 when I bought the book, "Thinking Machines" by Irving Adler. I have worked with computers most of my life (I'm retired now) and the complexity of what there is to know has grown exponentially and shows no sign of relenting. You will not be able to learn all there is to know about computers. Don't feel bad. Nobody knows that much. This is what leads to "impostor syndrome", the feeling that you are unqualified for the position you were hired for.

leonp92 is correct in saying side projects are the way to go. Start with simple applications. Write something which is useful to you or something which is fun. The satisfaction of seeing your effort pay off will fuel your passion.
Yep, I agree. If you rely on Cron/SCheduled Tasks, then you end up needing to run a server to run them. If Lambda did scheduled tasks, I'd have 1-2 boxes less in each environment ...
Not the person you asked, but my experience was the same before I had any LCD's or smartphones. I did have artificial lighting of incandescent kind and CRT monitor.

"In a competitive market, the equilibrium price will maximize total social surplus: http://www.colorado.edu/economics/morey/2010/2010BookChapter.... A"

No, totally not. Totally not.

The market clearing price is a function of supply and demand - that is all it is.

It has nothing to do with 'maximizing social surplus'.

Yes - it maximizes economic surplus, in the narrow context of that transaction, but that economic surplus does not necessarily reflect social good - moreover - supply and demand are functions of other things entirely.

The easiest way to see this is to look at Monopolies. Monopoly players of a critical good can extract vast, vast profits. What they actually 'do' with those profits is critical to understanding total social good.

Imagine a monopoly provider of gasoline to the US, that takes it's profits and puts them in a room - and does not invest it back into the economy.

This is not 'good' for anyone but the owner of that monopoly.

The same can be seen in rent-seeking in any number of places.

Also - BTW Netflix has about 1% EBITDA [1]. Their gross margins are not that important when you figure you have to pay for 'staff', R&D, 'networking', 'advertising' :).

Reimage Pc Repair 2017 License Key [Working and Bugs Fixed]
I used to be a big fan of prtmissive licenses until I bought a $700+ android phone a couple of years back and discovered that it did not "support" my native language (it could render the glyphs but system-wide support was not enabled).

Having extensive experience with unicode and how text is usually rendered, I knew exactly how to fix the issue; the fix was likely as simple as injecting an SO that hijacks a specific system library function. However, because the phone was locked down, I was unable to fix the problem myself. All important system apps including SMS and the browser displayed gibberish.

It was the most expensive brick I ever bought.

This experience taught me the true value of the GPL and why user freedom far outweighs the freedom of developers.
Many cabbies are also independent contractors and thus get none of the benefits Uber and Lyft are assailed for not providing. It's not always the case, but it's not exactly unheard of.
The most effective method is something like high-intensity interval training. You need to stress your CNS to some degree. Low-intensity cardio is going to require a lot of time (like an hour 30 or more). Strength will require several, consistent big lifts and can be hard to work at home.

Buying a kettle bell or stationary bike and doing HIIT can wear you out in <20 minutes.
Maybe it is possible that its more an attempt to draw a connection between an old horror enabled by an executive order, and any new horrors we are seeing and will see with Trump's executive orders.
ExpanDrive on Mac and Win gives the same experience, but with almost any cloud storage backend. I combine it with unlimited Amazon Cloud Drive.
I am disappointed in Toyota's current offerings. Take a look at what is on the lot today and what was on the lot in 1997. 20 years ago you could pick up a world-class Supra or a proper Land Cruiser or a Tacoma or a Camry or Corolla that could practically be the last commuter car you ever need. All of them stubbornly reliable. many of the cars Toyota had on the lot in 1997 still sell for close to their retail price!

Today what do you get? I guess the Camry and Corolla are still good cars but I'm not convinced the reliability is still there. The Prius is "innovative" in some sense but it isn't the kind of vehicle the Supra and Land Cruiser were. There doesn't seem to be anything interesting or exciting on the lot from Toyota anymore.
This. +1+1
The defect is on the engineering side. Someone at Tesla thought it was a good idea to display a failure message but not to log the nature and origin of the failure. That person needs to be identified and put on a performance improvement plan.
I understand the law part. I understand why they may even say please sign this California appropriate legalese so we can all move on. The truth of the matter is that they should fix the problem and delight the customer unless they can prove that someone had an ax to grind.
Not really. It's just that spending that amount of money on a movie makes you really risk averse; you go for the actor with the good resume rather than the brilliant newcomer with no track record.
Maybe it was Google Wave? Not sure .. but Google definitely have a history of dumping products.
The subtext to this piece is the mathematics of venture capital investing.

1. Most companies fail. Not "turn into airplanes"; plow into the ground at terrific speed leaving an unrecognizable smoking crater.

2. VC investors survive this by investing in a portfolio of companies, not just one or two.

3. For the math of a portfolio to work out, the winners have to pay for the losers.

4. The majority of the portfolio is losers.

Because they invest so little in such a large portfolio of companies, YC can afford to cultivate startups that are aiming for 8-digit outcomes. But VC firms, as a general rule, can't: for your startup's success to make their math work, you need an outstanding return. They'd rather you return something than nothing --- but they wouldn't rather by much.

There's a lot not to like about this model, but it's not really a moral question. There isn't a model where just a couple of investors plow millions of dollars into your startup all at once where simple mathematics aren't determining everyone's positions.

So when we talk about the difference between shoot-the-moon companies and "airplanes" or "lifestyle businesses" or whatever dumb term we're using for them this week, we'd do well to keep in mind that the people pushing you away from these kinds of outcomes really don't have a choice.

RunKit – Node prototyping
The part about Department of Education ensuring a competent workfore doesn't jive with haphazardly turning back permanent residents with PhDs and valid green card from reentering the country where they live. The US was made great when refugees from around the world were welcomed and then prospered for both themselves and the melting pot country. The rush to enact these sort of ignorant, brutal, arbitrary and uncivilized policy blunders further errode national security, the economy and international standing... also, the shitshow of a constitutional crisis is brewing where the various parts of government ignore the law and do whatever they want.
I took mine in for an oil change and they also removed that drain plug panel. In addition they broke the plastic cover for the cabin air filter by over-tightening the bolt that holds it on.

It's a staggering level of incompetence.
Yes, many of them are my clients. But they'll go invest $200M across 10 companies and hope one gets a 5x, 3 get 2-3x, and the rest marginal gains.

Not sure based on your wording, but you -can- execute scheduled tasks with Lambda. It's a little tricky, as the actual configuration takes place in Cloudwatch (Cloudwatch Events). You also will be sure to want to set up a dead letter queue, and have that broadcast to an SNS topic that will email you, so that in the event the lambda fails, you'll be alerted.
Not only that, it was upheld by the Supreme Court 6-3, with all of the majority being FDR appointees. Using the same sort of result oriented handwaving that characterized many a Supreme Court opinion upholding New Deal policies.

It's worth reading the opinion by the way. Pretty much the whole Court admitted internment was racist and wrong. But they had to uphold it so they did.

> It's not like the guy was making it up, they had clearly-detailed logs of the problems and the car was provably misbehaving.

The fact that problems exist says nothing of what caused them. I don't imagine it would be difficult for a competitor to intentionally damage a Tesla in a way that they could make a blog post like this about it. I'm not generally conspiracy-minded, but I feel like this is something worth considering when you're reading an article that seems to be put up on a throwaway LiveJournal account by somebody that doesn't link to any of their other social media accounts or websites.

I'm not giving up - and I agree that both as an end user and a developer, there's plenty to appreciate right now. Still, I think there are a lot of hard, complicated thoughts to be had about the distribution of power and the direction things are headed.
This article isn't about building a $1M or a $10M company. It's about companies who have done that already.

I can do it, but holding the middle finger down while the surrounding fingers are up is not comfortable.
When I work from home, I actually enjoy finishing my errands before work because it wakes me up (walking, fresh air, sunlight). It's also much easier to get appointments around 10am than after 5pm. Cleaning up the house happens as I walk around the house to brew new tea etc., and washing the dishes is automated.

The real problem is how to socialise when you work until 10pm - it ruins Friday night :/

Most likely response: who the fuck is Ycombinator, and why on earth would I want to work there?
I wouldn't consider it to be in the same class. 120 miles is much closer to the Leaf (which is widely dinged for its paltry range) than the Bolt or any of Tesla's cars.

And the range when burning gas seems kind of beside the point to me since we're talking about battery electric vehicles here, not cars that run on gas. (Like, my 2010 Prius gets 450 miles, but that's because it isn't relying on its battery and instead mostly uses an ICE, and for that reason it isn't usually considered in the same category as the Bolt.)

There are more kinds of investors than just venture investors. Small shop private equity often invest sums below this, and they're interested more in reducing the risk of their return than finding a portfolio maker, for example.
Is he demanding a review of government systems or of private systems as well? Like is the homeland security going to bring an army of security experts and start banging on Google's doors demanding access to their servers to see if they are above board?
I had a Volkswagen Scirocco. That car looks nice and had a reasonable price range.

But that car was the stuff of nightmares. Just google "scirocco dsg gearbox problems". I simply cannot imagine why a huge car manufacturer could produce such a faulty car.

Apparently, scirocco is not the only model to be affected by this.

The real joke is that all this information is already out there. Infrastructure has already been evaluated. The the enemy is well understood. But you do have to read the reports. You have to trust those writing the reports. You have to not yell them out of the room when they say something that offends your reality. This order is a call for new reports written by new people with the skills necessary to explain cybersecurity to large children.

Just let H1b have job portability. Once someone enters US on H1b, he/she should be free to switch employers at no cost to the new company.

Employer will then pay above market rate to retain the H1b talent.

Currently employer knows that switching jobs is not as easy for an H1b holder, so that employee is taken for granted. American employee loses. the H1b employee loses. Only the evil company gains.
The brands that you are dismissing out of hand sell, in aggregate, several million vehicles per year worldwide. That definitely moves the needle.

You're probably best off avoiding investors looking for venture level returns. Private equity and debt funding are an option, but you'll need to show traction first.
I just saw job ads from them last week. WTF?
You mean the taxi drivers that would pass me by on 3rd and Howard for 2 hrs because there was a conference and they could make more money servicing conference people? Or the taxi drivers that said they would be at my house at a certain time and then never show up, forcing me to wait another 45-60 mins for the next promised car, and then give up and drive myself and pay for parking? No, I don't have any sympathy.

Plus, they can always become Uber drivers, and have better earnings and make their own hours. 90% of all drivers I've had are happy to be driving for Uber.
Its AG's job to enforce the order. Trump did right thing here.
