To find closure I ended up reading up on personality disorders. She certainly fit the pattern of either narcissistic personality disorder or antisocial personality disorder — aka, sociopathy.

The author is not a medical professional and has absolutely no place "diagnosing" someone else's mental health. That is completely unprofessional (not to mention libellous if the woman knows the article is about her). Mental health is far more complex than just ticking a few boxes and declaring you have some insight in to why someone does what they do.

No, if you take as an example of boycotting a waiter who refused to serve you at a restaurant, we don't agree on a definition of it. By the way, and just to show you how completely inconsistent your argument is, in 2003 you probably supported your government's stance, so according to your own reasoning (companies and individuals are the same, let's punish only those who support), the waiter was actually right in not wanting to serve you.

As for your answer to my question, you said: "To answer your question, I don't know".
You can certainly do that with a jailbreak.
Nice! I submitted my app, JobTrack (https://jobtrack.io). Let's see if it gets approved to be listed!
By something like an order of magnitude, more people are killed annually by armed toddlers in the US than by radical Islamist foreign nationals. Both Islamists and toddlers take a back seat to the nationwide vending machine threat --- vending machines can be counted on in 2017 to kill enough Americans to justify a travel ban on all employees of the Coca Cola and Frito Lay corporations.

I fear you many have selected the wrong forum to litigate this argument in. The deeper we dig into the facts behind the argument you're trying to make, the (rapidly) less credible that argument is going to become. You might have more luck with it on Facebook.

And neither company has anywhere close to the gross notional exposure of the TBTF megabanks.

The nature of WM and AMZN businesses also doesn't expose them to rapid destruction risks.
You're looking at it from the point of view of "but the one over there is bigger". The manufacturer's point of view is "we sell a lot more 40" TVs than we do 32" monitors, so we're going to manufacture the shit out of 40" panels", something something economies of scale.

Same reason we suffered with 27" monitors at 1080 for so long: because LG and the like were selling literal boatloads of 1080 panels to put in TVs. If you wanted something out of band like a 1440 panel, well, get your checkbook out.

Oh, and does that 4K TV do 60fps at 4K? (Honest question, I have no idea if they do or not. Though I would assume so.)
Is it an either/or? Surely you can choose to accept a fast rate of change and also try and do something practical about the consequences at the same time?
Leaving the "smart" crap out isn't for cost savings, it's to create a higher quality product. I will even pay more for a TV with fewer features to get in the way.
Don't pc monitors usually have higher standards? And some 4k tvs can be bad. For instance, a few tv manufacturers are making rgbw 4k tvs, which are tvs where 25% of the pixels are white and don't produce color. And also I think that a 4k monitor is more of a premium item. I think the assumption is that if you are buying a 4k monitor you can usually afford to spend money than someone buying a 4k tv.
This is completely untrue. What you are describing is how Facebook has colloquialized the word "friend." The American concept of actual friendship is no different than the German or the Japanese one. A "true friend" is a pretty universal concept. Nobody mistakes a "FB only friend" for a true friend. There's no reason for you to bash Americans. Frankly you are unlikely to make meaningful connections with any other nationality when you're making cultural superiority judgements like that.

What kind of image format does snap use? Is packaging complicated? I've noted that flatpak is a nightmare to package for.

I created subuser <subuser.org> which runs on top of Docker, and of course, packaging is as simple as it is with Docker... The big problem is that when you want to update something, it is hard to do so without making everyone have to download a huge image all over again. Of course, you can try to prevent this with layers, but usually updates don't just touch the top layer :( ... So what I really want in the future is to be able to use IPFS or some kind of bittorrent-like download interface for images, so that when you update an image, you only have to download the parts that changed. There is a GREAT demo by a guy named Mathias Buus on this very topic here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sc6_XgNXyk which really gives you a feel for the awsome that would be deduplicated content addressed Docker.

Flatpak has something sorta similar, they use OSTree under the hood. https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree which is basically git annex for people who like incompatible redhat/freedesktop specific implementations of generic algorithms. It also does dedup, but at the file level not the block level, and so flatpak should be better at handling updates than subuser/Docker. Then again, who wants to repackage everything with their weird "standard" overcomplicated image format when you can just use Docker and throw anything you like into the image, however you like to throw it....

Get a fun job. Like at Walmart. People are invigorating. You have real relationships with fellow workers and the regular customers. Human interaction. Just don't have it be your real job so you can ignore drama.
I know, I was trying to make an AI joke.
But I'm afraid I can't do that.

=) It's jokes all the way down.
You could also look at how many businesses have gone under the last year or so and took a bunch of jobs with them:

Sports Authority - 460 stores

Kmart/Sears - 78 stores

Aeropostale - 154 stores

Walmart - 269 stores

Where I live, a lot of these are already gone and the retail space has been vacant since the summer. Same thing in a lot of the malls I used to frequent. Hell, the Mall Of America's 4th floor was vacant for decades after they closed down all the bars. The sad thing is, nobody is filling the vacuum when all these stores close. They just sit vacant for years.

And 2017 doesn't look to change that trend:

Obviously everyone's experiences are subjective, but that didn't sound too bad to me. Compared to the horror stories coming out of startups that seems rather JV.
Germany is different and has something called "Aussensteuergesetz". As a result you get to pay income taxes for your foreign companies, if they are located in tax havens like US or Estonia. Unless you can prove that you aren't managing them from Germany, like paying for an Office and a CEO.
What travel ban should we enact to create common-sense protections in this country from the gathering toddler threat? In 2015, more people were shot by toddlers than by radical Islamist foreign nationals.

You are thinking of retail as cashiers, because that's what you see.

But a lot of retail jobs involve the stockroom with heavy boxes and crates, and a lot of bending and lifting to put products on shelves.

And much of Amazon jobs involve retrieving lightweight items from shelves to put in a bin.

The jobs are not that different.
Yes, I was clearly too hesitant.
Fascinating fact-checking project via MIT and /r/worldnews
This comment does a fine job of opining on the incompleteness of an article that the commenter has clearly not read in full. This is a great example of irony, I think, because your point about the irony of a black man inventing a machine that increased the desire for slaves, is covered in the third paragraph from the bottom. And here you are, claiming the article as incomplete because it failed to consider the irony. But it did! You just skimmed it. It is in fact you who is incomplete. I think it is fair to describe this scenario as "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result."

RTFA before opining next time :-)

Someone deleted the kale taste bad post, so I'll put this here:

Are you making a joke that kale does not taste good? I cook kale the same way I quick cook collards. Sauté garlic in some olive oil until fragrant, then add kale (torn off the big stems), a cup of water, salt and pepper. Cook down the water while stirring occasionally. It's easy and tasty. Instead of garlic and OO, you can always use a chopped up piece of bacon as the base.

Any taxes => any personal taxes.

Assuming the company isn't operating at a loss it is producing company income. Companies have to pay taxes on their profits too! AFAIK that income (excluding loopholes) needs to be taxed where it is generated. So if that company made 100k Euro using software you developed in Berlin, you'll pay the company taxes for 100k revenue in Germany. Not 100% sure, but that is my understanding of the situation.

Also note: You need to be quite careful, tax law is complicated in Germany. E.g. if you work for the company but you are not paying yourself a salary, but just profits, this can in itself be considered tax evasion! (since in Germany the corporate tax can be lower than your personal income tax)

But again, ask a tax lawyer or call your tax authority if you want dependable information on this.

P.S.: I don't believe bureaucracy is an issue here, you quite likely increase it by setting up a multinational.
ever tried a 40" 4k tv? anything below 1500 bucks is utter shit. you've gotta be lucky to get decent panel even for above 1500€.

the tv market is one giant shit show designed to sell you all the crap falling from production lines.

i spent weeks looking at and testing tv sets. reading reviews. watching videos. in the end i returned everything and gave up.
Just to be clear I wasn't arguing against mass automation, at this point it's pretty much unstoppable from my point of view (and good for us software engineers). But we still haven't figured out how to deal with the changes that automation brings. And as always, it's the weakest that suffers the most.

>The free market isn't some singular entity that figures out problems before they arrive and sends us all an executive summary of its plan.

Obviously, which is why I think it's a good idea to have a few regulations in place so that we, as a society, might figure out our plan and how to make the transition a little less painful for those who have to suffer the consequences. Not that you argued against regulations in the first place but from your comments I assumed you and pm90 were of the libertarian kind.

I love coffee and have lots of it. Because I want more I have started adding a little decaf to the mix to sort of thin it out. Works great and tastes good. I'm mixing the green beans then roasting, but there is no reason that pre-roasted couldn't have some mixed in. There is a lot of good stuff in coffee so don't beat yourself up too much.
I know I'm only reading one side of the story - but is this sociopathy? Although, it's clear that her driving motivations had very little with what it takes to make a company successful. "I need VC money to go live in the US" is not a credible business plan.

But, that said, I read it as she thought she was starting a business - with a partner - a technical co-founder. Not a 23 year old burn-out that needs to recover from life. And that she was disappointed, but tried to cheer herself up, internally, by irrationally keeping hope alive that the partner would, someday, against all hope, show up and be her partner.

Now, irrational is irrational, and this a trait you want in no-ways inhabiting the brain of a business partner. But I can't imagine even knowing where to begin coping with starting a business with someone who wanted to go on walkabout for 3 months, starting on day 1. I wouldn't know how to reason about my options other than to immediately separate.

Am I mis-reading this completely?

> I dispute your attempt to conflate protests against Trump's ban on entry with an indictment of middle America.

You can refute all you want. I'm talking about real conversations I've had with real people. It looks like some Americans are hateful towards "hateful" Americans and it puts people on the defensive and pushes them away.

EDIT:

> you don't speak for the American people

Right. That's not the message that people are getting. There are lines being drawn and many decent people feel like they're being hated along with neo-nazis. That sort of visceral feeling is hard to shake off when you want to later appeal to their sense of decency when health insurance rules are being reconsidered.
meh, I am sure there is more to it than you want to talk about.

I will only talk about what was presented ( not the full details of what actually happened ).

My perspective is a little more balanced. She put a lot on the line. Her relationships suffered. Things fell apart for her.

I don't think it is anything terribly abnormal.

Having a stable personal life is key to being able to deal with an unstable professional (i.e. startup) life.

I know my wife has had to deal with a lot of emotional shit from me when I was in startups.

Sounds like this cost her more than it cost you - be forgiving of bad behavior.

People are not at their best in no-sleep, no-money situations.

She hates you - may be from her perspective she has good reason. She needed you to deliver - did you deliver or did you add to her stress?

My suspicion is that you added to the stress.

> In a later conversation she re-iterated the point that she really respected me for “setting boundaries”. I quit my job, started coding on the idea for 2 weeks, then went travelling for a month while working on the idea part-time.

So you did a little bit of coding and then disappeared.

The YCombinator interview is coming up and she has no way of knowing what is going on. A month? now? maybe she was hoping to force a decision from her.

I just read a lot of immaturity in both of you ( but curable! )

For what you wrote (once again - I have no idea what the full story is ), I would feel pretty negatively toward you as a professional - doesn't sound like you kept promises or delivered.

That's exactly my issue. I have a crawler that collects data and stores into Datastore. I need to periodically scoop up the snapshots and export them into BigQuery, then run the visualizations. I want my visualization to be live and also don't want the overhead of scooping the data.
Because "make things the cheapest" implies:

(a) more people having access to more, better products for cheaper

(b) the people making those things ipso facto prefer to be doing those jobs over alternatives

(c) if other people were previously making similar things less efficiently, they are now freed up to do something else

I have to disagree. Unlike the VS Resharper plugin, the JetBrains IDEs are really good. Unlike VS, they rarely lock the UI thread doing paternalistic busywork that adds very marginal value to my work.

I'm use VS all the time, so I'm not going to dump on it too much, but there is definitely room for improvement. I'm only vaguely familiar with VS 2017, but I understand they've put their IDE on a diet.

Is it not stunning that in a highly industrialized nation like the US there are so many people whose main option for a job is to work in a warehouse. That there is a large swath of the population who are unable to educate themselves out of this situation? Especially in this day and age where learning new skills has only became easier.
They opened a distribution warehouse in west Brampton, Ontario that looks like an airplane hangar. For the time it was being built, I was sure it would be some sort of FedEX, Air Canada type of business. Well, Amazon it is and it's huge.
I've found that this works fine until you have a bug in your async function that is, after transformation, a promise and a generator away from your original function with no call stack available for debugging.

Edit: My experience is with babel's generator version of async/await, so other transformations may be easier to work with.

Part of that is Amazon (online shopping in general), part is the whole buy local, and part is fleeing from traditional malls. People either want really cheap (online) or boutique type shops in nice outdoor shopping areas.

I've seen the same thing happening with chain restaurants for years.
There are no hard rules with grammar. Just conventions. If we understood what the person meant, then they succeeded at their goal of communicating.
Half the population has an IQ at or below 100. That sounds great on it's face, but what would you train and educate the bottom half to do?
Because it's not the same? People moved from subsistence farming to factory work because there were jobs, and they didn't require a whole lot of specialized skill or training to do. Now those factory jobs are going away, and there isn't anything really taking it's place.

There was a graph not to long ago that showed the most common job in each state. In a huge swath of them, that job was "Truck Driver". What're those people going to do to put food on the table or a roof over their family's head when those jobs are automated away?

Makes sense. Allegedly they had pretty much every version OS X after Rhapsody continuing to run on x86 in some capacity until the x86 version of OS X finally came out. Keeping an ARM version around seems like a no brainer.

I suspect this isn't being held in case the Mac market falls apart, but in case the iPad market starts losing to Surface and friends.
If market shifts are state transitions, each state is better than the last, but the transition is painful.

To alleviate the pain of the transition, sometimes we need to slow it down. The tough part is figuring out how much drag to apply so that it slows but doesn't halt.
