17B profits should count for something. That more than 7 months of Facebook's total revenue. Apple made more in service revenue than FB made in total.
>It should be possible to build a prototype post-facto “truth labeling” system [...] Such a system would tentatively label a claim or story as true/false based on the stances taken by various news organizations on the topic, weighted by their credibility.

And of course nobody would love this technology more than the Chinese and Russian governments. Is a system aimed at quickly identifying obscure blogs that disagree with "high-credibility" sources supposed to help democracy?
Is there any reason to value this kind of parasitic success?

I'm not sure you quite understand what Buffett does. Yes, his company invests in other companies. However, it's more typical for him to invest to: (1) gain a controlling share and (2) realign the company's management and strategy.

He often turning around companies through his own expertise. Not just "loaning them money and collecting interest".

(disclaimer: I say this as someone who's has invested into Berkshire Hathaway)

Buffet's success is only partly his ability to value companies and buy them at good price. He is good at that, no doubt, but it's just half of the story.

The real genius is the way Buffet has structured his business to give him permanent advantage. The core of Berkshire Hathaway is the insurance business, GEICO and Berkshire Reinsurance. These companies are very profitable and generate huge cash inflow. This cash is cheaper compared to what other investors get trough financial sector. Especially when times are tough and money is tight. When other investors must sell something they own or get expensive loan, Buffet is drowning in cash and looking ways to spend it.

Someone who is just as good at valuing companies starts several percentage points behind Buffet when they scramble to finance their acquisition.
Consider that in a private company, surpluses are paid out to executives and shareholders. How is that not "inefficient"? Meanwhile, workers are paid a subsistence wage of however low the company can get away with paying. In a worker-owned, worker-managed business, those surpluses could be spent on higher wages, lower prices, or increasing productivity. Without having to generate profits for investors and shareholders (who contribute no labor to the enterprise), wouldn't that make a firm much more "efficient"?
Using it every day. Great product!
Honestly I feel way overwhelmed by the administration related news and it has barely been over a week. It's also a constant reminder that oh yeah this really did happen and it continues to get worse.

tails.com | Front-end & Full Stack Developers | Richmond, London | ONSITE, full time

tails.com is a tech-centric startup, using the power of technology combined with applied nutritional science to change the world of dog food for good.

So much more than just a website, our intelligent systems formulate and fulfil bespoke, individually optimised blends of food for each dog, and we evolve that blend over time to match the dogs' constantly changing nutritional needs. Orders are delivered direct to owners' doorsteps every month all across the country; every bag of food that leaves our blending facility is totally unique.

We launched in July 2014 and we're currently expanding the current team of 9 with developers of both front- and back-end persuasions. The platform is Python based, though we've flirted with Go recently too, and with an ex-Amazon architect among our tech founders we of course make full use of AWS in building a robust, distributed set of applications and services.

If you're interested in finding out more, head to https://tails.com/careers or drop an email to steve@tails.com.
Agreed. Does not say anything about being able to post or being able to interact. I wonder what the add situation is like on that app. Can't decide if someone wants to help get info out or if they are capitalizing on the current situation
Firefox Nightly has been saying that for almost over 8 months now. I think there were issues regarding the "too many warnings make people blind" stance. But I'm happy it finally made it into release.
I urge designers of future dynamic languages to study Lua and LuaJIT if you want your language to not inhibit JIT development.

Agreed. Also Smalltalk's memory model was a lot easier to optimize than languages like Python and Ruby. (Java inherited some of that.) Not having syntactic sugar makes optimization easier.

In addition, language designers need to make parser tools easy to make and robust.
One can still argue with paid PR without resorting to ad hominem and boo lights...

I've seen several people suggest that covering Trump is an unprecedented challenge which news orgs have no understanding of how to handle. This is a good reminder that this isn't true; even a presidency which is exceptional by American standards is well within the familiar scope of international news organizations.
> Gitlab's compensation policy is pretty much intentionally designed to not pay people to live in SF.

What do you mean? They pay people in SF much more than in other cities because the high cost of living. I'd consider working for Gitlab if I would live in SF, living in Berlin it's not an option.
Nintendo Switch’s online service will cost less than $30 a year
> By the same logic, medical schools are counterproductive because by making getting a degree harder make giving healthcare advice harder. Ditto for law schools.

They do make healthcare and lawyers more expensive. It is a question of whether the government should force a minimum standard on buyers which removes cheaper sellers that do not conform to the standards.

> If you are going to throw your lot with an employer, you want to be very sure that said employer is willing to go the extra mile to bring you up and see you succeed; and yes, that will be harder that going to work for the first john that waves a $20USD bill in front of your nose.

That's your opinion and you are free to ask your employer a contract that makes it harder to fire you.

What I'm talking about is the government mandating this.
I don't remember if it was mentioned in my contract, or if I just looked up state law. I remember when I had a job in Nevada, state law effectively said that work done on my own time, off premises, using my own equipment was mine. I realized that it would be possible to do work on my own time, with their equipment, etc. and I figured if I wanted to avoid a headache it would be my responsibility to make sure I clearly checked all the boxes before I tried to claim ownership.
I think the evolution of how the media operates over the next 4ish years will be very interesting to watch.

While I certainly don't want to give this sort of "benchmarking" any credibility at all:

allocating significantly different compute resources for different samples would be at least as laughable (eg. giving Go a dozen cores [per it's defaults] but constraining Python to one worker [per it's defaults]).

She offers a seven step approach for bootstrappers

1: Make time for learning new skills – your startup’s success depends on it

2: Figure out your preferred learning style, as that will determine your learning medium.

3: Master the basics – start by reading (or listening to) these 3 recipe books: Lean Startup, Traction, and Lean Analytics

4: Figure out what skills you need to acquire next that will be most helpful to your startup.

5: Acquire the knowledge (in your preferred learning style)

6: Collect examples of what works and absorb the knowledge implicit in them by taking notes, using a swipe file, and creating a reference library.

7: Apply the knowledge. Do a (small) real project to solve a real problem for your startup
. ==================== Notion – San Francisco ====================

"We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us" The goal is to democratize software. Quite a shame that 30 years into personal computing, an average person's interaction still caps at word-processing. We'd like to change that. A beautiful loft/artist office in the Mission. Best investors out there.
You will be part of a small and talented team. You need to be able to make things and think conceptually.

> downloading the same huge asset bundle into localStorage

This would happen anyway no matter what storage or cache is used since all data is cleared after private browsing session is over.

Breaking localstorage (with an over-quota error) is not the way to deal with this. Polyfills are just more crap in complexity and downloaded bytes to compensate for a browser's issues.

It would be much better to have a navigator.isPrivate flag enabled so apps can check the environment accurately, not guess based on whether certain APIs work or not. It's not about SLAs but supporting standards. Deleting client-side data is all that private browsing needs to do.
One of the smart things my company has done in Japan is hire much higher than industry average number of women and be ahead of industry in support for maternity etc. Most Japanese companies don't really support career growth of women and so we've been lucky to access a lot of great talent.
(1) it's possible that they didn't know the language could be used to hurt someone in that way. You won't give them the benefit of the doubt and instead would rather give that benefit to the person who was actually impolite.

(2) Again, as I said before, I don't agree with those terms. That doesn't mean I'd be an ass hole about it. To my benefit, I'd politely negotiate and have a much higher likelihood of negotiating the contract to my liking.

(3) If someone posed the same concerns to me in a polite and professional manner, I would go out of my way to correct the contract (hey boss person, this contract might be bad for developers!). On the other hand, if someone is an ass hole, they're going to an "ass hole" response.

Try it. Try being polite in a situation where you'd like to be an ass hole. You're going to be surprised at the end result.

Edit: wording
Assuming you're in the U.S., you'll need to provide your MySpace credentials at the border when you return from your on-site interview in Paris for this REMOTE position. So yes, do polish it up, and also polish up on your "Strong proficiency in French and English" but be sure not to use the former with the border authorities.
Good tip. Thanks ;)

GoPro Re-Launching Its Recalled Karma Drone, but It May Be Too Late
Your Users' SMS Phones Are Dumber Than Donald Trump's
An issue with 1), is that many people don't actually care prior to that situation. There are so many people with no goals and no motivation to do anything. They may start a project, but there is no incentive to complete it. If you don't work towards anything, you won't have anything to regret.
Yes, I'm aware of the relationship, I just didn't think it was necessary to go into detail about it. The point is, the tag line is confusing since there is something else it could be referring to.
Re: the linear methods vs. neural networks

It depends on the domain. Logistic or most other classifiers won't get close to NN when classifying images or text. It's not 80-90% of the power.

You are right when dealing with data that is not highly-dimensional and not very non-linear either. Also plenty of other domains..
