You did not HAVE to accept anything unless you are not an adult.

You accepted good money. You chose it and pick your master(as the Bible says you can't have multiple masters). You want it all.

I chose the other thing, something that paid me way less than market value, but gave me total freedom and autonomy. Now I have it all but it started without money because the ability to take decisions was more important for me than money. Money comes when you make something so great you wont be able to do in a natural environment.

But you need to find this environment yourself. Technical Mentors, coaches, master minds. Now I can do things in a week that used to take me years because I know the people. A personal journey.

George Lucas (or Steve Jobs or Dyson) did the same with Starwars for example. It is easy when looking back and having success, but when you get bankrupt like George went for controlling the creative process it is not easy.

It was not easy for Dyson to be supported by his wife while iterating the vacuum cleaner.

You are not warrantied success but failure is warrantied. I chose my path because even if I had not made it, my life became an adventure worth it for me. Some people did pity me while doing it because they looked under their point of view but I was extremely happy.

We don't know you and even if we do you need to take a personal decision in your life and few people are prepared in life to give that kind of advice.
Perfect is when your satisfaction come after done your goal! I mean, when you have your goals, you have motivation to done them and after you have satisfaction. By this plan you can become in leader. I hope you understood what I was trying to say)))))

You don't need mandatory sterilizatiion. Men are scared enough of unwanted pregnancy. Just offer free VASALGEL procedure on and off for anybody and the problem will solve itself. Now we just need the procedure to become legal in the us, but i'm very eager to use it myself and have high hopes for it.
Interesting approach. But keyboards are quite personal (some people choose their keyboard), and there's quite a lot of technology in keyboards (gestures to text, learning dictionaries, et cetera), so I'm wondering about the quality and user-friendliness of the approach.
Does anyone know something to do correct fades of images?

In the middle of the fade I want to see 50% of either image. All faders I know change opacity on both images and you quickly have somethign like 25% background visible, 25% lower image, 50% upper image.

It would simply need to just fade in an image on top, and once fully opaque remove the hidden bottom one.
Some products just has it by tradition, even in the most metric parts of the world like Scandinavia we still do wheel sizes and screen sizes in inches. It's a bit weird but I assume everyone buys camera lenses in mm too out of tradition.

I was really surprised when I went to Australia and found tv's sold with centimeter diagonals.

Does it though? Look at the health insurance industry, Aetna pulls in $15B and has $3B in overhead. Couldn't automation cut out (nearly) all the people involved in that overhead. They spent $20 million pulling levers to get a better deal for themselves in Washington alone. This is worse than drone work, it's drone work that kills people.
>Then there are some speculation what data could it be and how would it be used. From that, it seems that the difference between other "Better audience targeting" tools used for typical commercial advertising campaigns would be mainly scale and accuracy?

Some of it is explained on this 5 minutes video (ignore the clickbait title). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo3gOoOSdhY According to this professor one of the things they used for better targetting is a person's Big 5 personality profile that they extract from Facebook likes.
I also love animations... the first time, and for a short while after. They are new and exciting. But they quickly start to grate, then frustrate, and then become downright annoying. Like the article stated, the MacOS spaces transition wastes time. Animation has its place--progress/loading being one. Or situations where processing takes time and/or you might want to abort the action before it commences. But any time an action could and should have an immediate effect, a transition effect actively impedes the user's workflow. These are unnecessary, and should at a minimum be configurable.
> How do you define simplistic terms? If you were hungry and someone gave you enough money to eat, that would be a solution regardless of how corrupt your government.

Let's work through an example.

North Korea is one of the poorest countries in the world, and many people starve there every year. It's also a ruthlessly oppressive totalitarian state; the government decides who can enter and leave the country. The government also runs the entire economy, and directs most of it toward military spending. This is all because the country is essentially under the total control of a single person whose father and grand father decided they like things this way, and the geopolitical situation happened to work out in their favor from 1950 to the present.

Suppose you've got an infinite pile of money to give to North Koreans to solve their problems with not having enough food to eat. It's illegal for you to enter that country without permission and illegal for the North Koreans to accept money from foreigners. So how do you give them the money?

Let's assume you can give them the money; that you have a big cargo plane you can fly over North Korea and can throw money out the back of and be certain that a deserving poor starving person will receive it. Where is the deserving poor starving person going to go to buy food? There's no private farm to shop at. The government run stores aren't going to take this foreign money. They're stuck with whatever the government dictates will be produced, which is obviously not enough food.

Ignore that problem and assume the shopkeeper or the farmer would take the money. What are they going to do with it? Private property is basically illegal in North Korea, so it's not like the farmer is going to save his money to make a better farm that can feed more people. He can only spend money in state run enterprises, which all feed directly into the government, and the government spends it all on Kalishnakov rifles, nuclear weapons programs, and weird foreign assassinations. These things are not great for solving the problems of starvation and poverty.

North Korea is the most extreme example, but lots of poor countries have problems like this that cannot be solved by simply throwing money out the back of a cargo plane. Poor societies often need to change to become not-poor.
> London 1.3

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_London

>> London is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. In 2007 there were over 300 languages spoken in it and more than 50 non-indigenous communities with a population of more than 10,000.[1]

>> At the 2011 census London had a population of 8,173,941. Of this number, 44.9% were White British. 37% of the population were born outside the UK, including 24.5% born outside of Europe.[2]

So the enormous benefits of self-driving cars (many saved lives, mobility for people who cannot drive, reduced costs) should be prevented because we cannot equip police with a few radio transmitters? -- Assuming that is even needed, because Waymo's cars can recognize gestures made by cyclists already, so it's hardly a stretch to imagine them recognizing gestures made by policemen.
Almost this. I'm 6'2", can't sit in the NB without bumping my head on the roof bars when closed. But had a 1995 NA for about 5 years and that was just incredibly comfortable. Could fit a remarkable amount in the boot too.
Personally, my thinking is that people like this person already exists on a different "plane of existence" due to their money - the politics of mere mortals like us, in the way it is practiced and experienced by us - simply doesn't feature into things. In terms of getting involved, it is no secret that the same patterns repeat over and over - push people to their limit economically, and they will flock to populist politicians such as Farage and Trump - witness the rise of the alt-right globally. People like Mercer understand this, and have the means to support those players, thus buying a seat at the table.
Spend a good bit of time thinking about what the ideal way would be for you to spend 8+ hours a day (i.e. work), and how this would fit into your overall goals in life - beyond work/career.

Do this by testing out all of the above hypothesis, e.g. speak to people (through linkedin for example) that have done that MS from an ivy-league mid-career (or whenever): get lots of experience data to give weight to these potential next steps.

Ask lots of basic questions, why do you want money, what are you going to do with it. How much does reputation matter to you, and what does reputation mean.

From the little info above, it appears that good company, is something important: (a) people that are at your level (and you need to think about what that means exactly), (b) people with whom you want to do projects that make a difference (and again, what does this mean)

Could you have this out-with a work context?

What you and the parent say are not inconsistent.

You tip taxis by "rounding up", but the parent says he never tips. By American standards, rounding up (i.e., up to 50 cents) is not tipping. Taxi drivers in the U.S. and Canada expect 10-15%, or even more in New York City, though their expectations have probably gone down since Uber arrived.

The parent say "tipping is only common on restaurant bills". I'm pretty sure that the parent is referring to the 10% service fee, which is always optional, but that everyone pays unless the service was really bad[1]. You don't call that tipping but since it's optional, it's very similar to a tip.

> If they are not producing audio professionally, I'm saying they probably can't tell the difference between 16bit and 24bit audio.

That's not how it works. You can totally hear clipping or noise even as an amateur. Just as an amateur photographer first thing first learns to look out for overlit skies and hilights that aren't really recoverable at all unless they perhaps have access to the camera's RAW files. But unlike in photography, in sound work you typically need to process as well as sum multiple recordings, all while not blowing out the peaks that might just happen to line up.

If anything, dealing with the large dynamic range of 24-bit is easier for the amateur. An experienced pro would probably have a good bunch of tricks in his bag should he really have to mix music in 16 bits, enough to produce something that doesn't sound horrible. The amateur would be more likely to struggle.
It may seem as a joke, but I really think that manipulating pseudo-anonymous Internet forums like reddit for political and marketing reasons will prove to be huge driving force for bot development in the coming decade. Right now it's super cheap to just hire some students or task interns with the posting, but remember bots don't leak, don't quit the job and while they do not understand reality you just can't teach human to consider 5000 data points for every comment! And the story about vote manipulation, as shady as it is, still proves that machine that does not understand emotions still uses them in a way that trained humans just couldn't.
bloomberg has a history of muscling in on post-trade services with various degrees of success.

Long ago I settled for satisfaction in work only, discarding amount of money and I don't think I could be happier with the jobs I did so far. Granted I get enough money so that I don't really have to care about it. But for me once the threshold of enough is covered I fail to see why I would pursue more. Sure you can always go bigger and more and faster but does that kind of motivation really make you happy or more motivated? Or does it just lead to again wanting bigger and more? I also really feel like the OP should ask him/herself questions like these instead of blindly assuming big money is one of the answers in dealing with lack of motivation.

You mean the factory towns that were getting EU money for regeneration, having been decimated by the UK's political own-goal swing away from industrial output to a London-centric "service economy"

And the idea that the UK ever "traded" with the Commonwealth on anything like the scale it trades with the EU is nonsense.

The UK did a nice line in imperial resource extraction from Commonwealth countries for a good century or so. But it was never "trade" in the common market sense.

Any suggestion that it's possible for the UK to return to a time that never existed is obviously incorrect.

Still it's reasonable to expect the transition to a post scarcity society within the next two generations, at least not globally in the first phase but the growth boom will cause a new wave of hyperexpansionism to secure the growing lands and resource depots.

Jobs as care worker won't be enough and not everyone is good/motivated in them and I don't think you don't realize how bad it is for the cared to have a spiteful worker

There's a huge issue looming as the current mainstream libertarian model is ill suited for a post scarcity society plus there's gonna be a huge problem with migrations ready to compound with internal strifes.

Nothing impossible to solve with preparation but seems we gonna reach that point fastly and badly.
You buy a piece of mind for yourself, but what about the rest of society? Would you let injustice be, or would you do something about it, not for a personal revenge, but as a mindful action?

Great work. Do note that this is an NNN lease, though, which means the tenant pays property tax and operating expenses. For a new warehouse like this one, this site says these fees average 58% of the base rent: http://fgpcl.com/what-to-expect-with-triple-net
The alternative explanation is that candidates who run as independent aren't popular enough to garner either donations or votes. If they were, they could have won the primaries for one of the major parties. Like Trump did, certainly no favourite of the Republican establishment.

That's a good point. I think there is necessary and unnecessary animations. The 1password animation mentioned in the article is absolutely unnecessary. Animations should only be used to help the user understand what is happening and they should be fast. There's no reason why a user should wait for an animation to continue doing what they intended to do.

I think a useful way to accomplish a nice compromise between beautiful interfaces and usability is to allow the user to skip animations. For example, if I start typing after an action was performed the animation should skip to the end. In this case the user is clearly familiar with the interface and knows what they want to do next.
Haha here's one I've had recently:

"This last bit may explain why Intel PR sent out a last-minute “call us before you write” email to most of the press, but not SemiAccurate, after hours last night."

So nothing but a rumor at this point, but considering what Intel did in the past I'm at least inclided to believe it.

I think to say that the switch of trade to the EU vs the Commonwealth caused the decimation of industrial towns is drawing a long bow. The IMF as long as 20 years ago highlighted that deindustrialisation is primarily caused by trade and technology advancement[0]; even places such as Japan and China, places hailed as manufacturing giants, have or are going through this. One of the main reasons that manufacturing took off in the 80s and 90s in south east Asia was that the wages there were lower than automation; this is no longer the case. In the next decade or two south east Asia will face a reduced middle class as well, unless drastic changes are made to the capital / labour balance of income and wealth growth.

Both sides were given to hyperbole true, but that is largely driven by the UK (and most of the population of the western world) being distracted to death. Most people think the issues are too complex to worry about; they just know that the system isn't working and they will listen to people making emotive arguments who suggest they can fix everything by going back to the way it was. Of course the technology and efficiency changes genie can't be put back into the bottle; what company would voluntarily put themselves at an unnecessary disadvantage?

Trying to turn back the clock is a waste of energy.

Banking software also use this type of codes to reach different functions: post a cheque, take a draft, print an account statement, update customer record, loan balance/amortisation/payback history; in short, they do everything with short 3-4-5 letter keywords. This type of system has very high learning curve ("Hey Alex, what's the keyword for locker rent arrears list?"); but it is a joy to watch competent people operate the program to get things done.

Many business software also work this way (SAP ERP/Oracle Financials), but none of them are likely to be as fast as Bloomberg though. AutoCAD also has some commands like this (like Emacs'/Vim's ex/M-x prompt? ":"/"M-x"). I wish other consumer software also allowed access to screens/dialog boxes and functions in this direct manner without having to click menus and buttons a thousand times.

If nothing else, just to satisfy my curiosity, I'd love to poke around on such a system once.
