Interesting, would you mind sharing more of what you are doing? Batch processing, or something? The category of "realtime collaboration" seems to be the broad catch-all that I'm thinking of (todo lists/trellos, chat apps/gitter, social networks/facebook, search apps/google, productivity suites/gDocs, recording apps/youtube, automation tools/IFFT), plus the hype around drones, IoT, ML, etc.

That would be excluding banking apps, reports, etc. could you expand on yours/other uses that don't benefit from live updates?
Let me guess when asked why they said "that's how we've always done it"
"Man..." you'll keep saying, "Americans really love breakfast cereal..."

Though it's true to some degree, I wouldn't go that far. My sense is that the higher the margin on a product or product-line, the more money the manufacturer and distributors have to purchase shelf space. Cereal, Chips, Crackers, Ice Cream, Mayonnaise.

The last time I was at the store I counted 21 separate varieties of Triscuit, 10-12 flavors over three sizes.

Don't freak out, it actually is weird.
I'm beginning to find the "Silicon Valley" / "San Francisco" divide to be quaint pedantry at this point.

Culturally to these kids I have met in interviews and career fairs, there is absolutely no distinction. If you are in the tech industry and you live somewhere west of the Caldecott Tunnel, South of the Golden Gate Bridge, and north of, say, Morgan Hill, you are in "Silicon Valley". Just because the region was mapped differently in its Fairchild Semiconductor days, or I guess even the dotcom days, doesn't mean that the definition has not expanded since.

A lot of people that move out here want to live in the city and commute into their offices, and a lot of the new unicorns are SF-city-based. The cost of living in SF completely matters to many that think they can live there and work in the greater Peninsula.
I sent the article to my oldest son because it made me think of him. He replied with: I was sort of thinking about how, if I'd had a different life, I could see myself doing much the same. Maybe a bit more planned. Maybe not.

I was always okay with him being him and did not try to force him to be more social. I helped him figure out how to interact with society on his terms.

For example, he likes going to stores with self-checkout so he doesn't have to deal with a cashier. Self-checkout exists and many people use them for many reasons. One of his big motivators is that dealing with people is hard, even for just the brief interaction of paying for his purchase.
Interesting. Never heard of Xenomai before.

Can any of this feed into the TSN(Time sensitive networking)/AVB(audio video bridging) standards?

I haven't found anything useful in that space.
There's no rule that temperatures must fall. In fact there are rules that temperature can't simply fall without moving energy somewhere else.
It sounds like I won't convince you, and it probably shouldn't be convincing because it's Chrysler, but we were having problems like that and worse on a 20 year old platform. The way I got involved in Federal Torque was because we delivered a brand new vehicle that basically fell apart (lost an axle iirc) as the customer was cruising down a freeway. Even among all the problems we had, that was a pretty big deal. As a result we had many meetings about what a serious issue this was.

> It was stupid to make humans be energy sources (because they're not) rather than being a distributed computer as originally envisioned.

But, aside from description from an unreliable sources spouting what is explicitly revealed to be misleading-on-key-points religious dogma created as part of a system of control by the machines, there's no indication in the film that humans are sources of power in the film, and every indication that they are networked processing units (and even that agents, while they can be hosted in different humans over time, are hosted at specifically a 1:1 ratio on humans; or 1 instance per human once Smith is able to create multiple instances.)

Now, admittedly, in fact the description given was altered to please execs or test audiences (I forget which), but it actually works quite well in context.
Self driving tech is (still) a really hard problem, unlike what people are lead to believe looking at the dozens of company jumping on the bandwagon and releasing cool looking videos.

People look at that recent video of the Tesla car doing a full A to B drive and they're like, wow, that's awesome!

Then, they ask themselves, hmm, I wonder why Google hasn't released anything after a decade of research. And realize too that google had a simple A to B video 8 years ago too... yet 8 years later it's still not ready.
But there are still people who use it as "I disagree" button, and even those
who use it as a retaliation of sorts (I was (still am?) targeted by such an
individual; sadly, HN's contact mail is hosted on Gmail, which likes to mark
smaller servers as spam, so my contact try never got a response).
I feel this oft-repeated argument is a canard, whose strength is mostly from its repetition. One sign of such things is hyperbole such as "even slightly", "anything other than'. Hyperbole, to me, is a substitute for a lack of substantive argument. I recently posted something that is 'leftist' and I think it's down to -4 (which is fine).

I'd look at it serious if there was some data, however.

EDIT: De-inflammatorization
Sometimes it's a big smile, "Man, there are so many options!"

Well, that's how it is when I'm just wandering around the store for fun. If I want to pick a toothpaste, it's frustrating that I need to make a tough choice for something so trivial.
This all could have been prevented with a Government regulated IUD program.
I have no idea at all how you can draw the conclusion that I am glorifying this. Quite the opposite. This pathological outcome is partly due to the fact that "normal" people are such assholes to anyone who doesn't readily fit into their social expectations. People who supposedly have all kinds of social skills often merely use them to torture people who don't have them instead of using their savvy to bridge the gap.
poorer areas = more crime

I don't believe this for a second.
In most countries personality disorders are not regarded as mental illnesses.

Personality disorders have an early onset and have life-long patterns. Psychological and medical treatments are rarely effective. There is line somewhere between what people are and medical condition. When stress response or something goes awry in the young age, it may be impossible to reverse it or treat it. It's what person is.

Same person can be both victim and criminal. Criminals typically have impulse control problems and punishment don't work as effective deterrent.

This is why criminology and criminal justice systems in Nordic countries puts less weight on punishment. Separating criminals, partial rehabilitation or wearing them out in the system is best that criminal system can do. What people 'deserve' is just revenge seeking and vulgar attitude. It's probably rooted to religious belief in a soul.
> However inefficient put enough people in a room and it clearly heats up.

It's a whole lot of unnecessary overhead compared to burning the fuel you are feeding the humans to generate energy.
Thanks. I did everything myself; started working on the book during evenings/weekends in February, released in May.

I was interviewed about the launch on the Product People podcast a while back if you enjoy these sorts of stories:

It's only within a cultural context that it seems odd to liken a less famous writer to a more famous one. For an outsider it would be unremarkable and possibly helpful.

I think the feeling about comparing yourself with Hemingway, or Hemingway with yourself (note: comparison does have an asymmetric feeling for me) may arise from the fact that you don't really believe your (hypothetical, putative) writing is similar to Hemingway's on the crucial dimension of quality. So it naturally jars to think of Hemingway's writing defined as similar to it.

The words of the defendant in your example actually read to me more like a Groucho Marx gag than a credible defense, but I'm in Ireland where usage may differ.

Let's not forget the elephant in the room: [Rap] Genius rose to popularity by flagrant copyright infringement. They were forced to settle with music publishers in 2014, after receiving a generous round of funding (in the millions). See https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/07/business/media/rap-genius....

Around the same time they were pitching colleges for classroom use, but were embarrassingly unprepared to address the copyright problem. Their "platform" involved republishing texts to which they had no rights. They did not even have a good story about claims on student (author) contributions. Who owns the annotations? They had no coherent answer during a demo at my uni. We passed.

It is beyond me as to how smart investors threw money at such incompetence.
Absolutely. The basic problem is that, unless you are an absolute mystic and assume reality is basically a spirit and the human mind can unite with it completely, there is always a limit to human knowledge (as Merleau-Ponty said, materialism is also a metaphysical idealism).

This is because any rational explanation ultimately rests on principles that we cannot explain, only accept. That is, human intelligence, the product of the human brain, is ultimately finite, limited. With quantum physics and consciousness, we may well have run up against such a limitation.
I don't think the userbases are really that fragmented. The popularity of meme annotations slowly faded away to more quality comments and official annotations from rappers, producers, etc. Personally, I annotated rap songs, tech news, as well as "boring" documents.

But the annotations community outside of rap songs didn't take off in the same way.
That's what I've seen reported, and it's consistent with the fact that back story narration aside, the actual depictions throughout the series are more consistent with the reported original intent, that humans are processing nodes, not power sources.

Imho, arguing that politics are resulting in people starving is a bit like saying that gravity is too strong.
Yeah, the calculator seems to cause some weird things.

Living in Seattle, WA, the salary range I used topped out at ~$120k. However, 30 miles south in Tacoma it tops out at at ~$80k. Moving to Dallas would move the top of the range to ~$105k (Hot Market Adjustment?! but not Seattle?!).

Values I used (I rounded the salary up too):
* Lead
* Above Average Experience
* United States
* Dallas, Seattle and Tacoma.

I'm looking to move to the Dallas area (from Tacoma) and my rent will likely end up being less in Dallas (at least 20%).
Oh that's all?
What is the easiest lifehack? The word “No”
The notes:

will rank senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, (in other words, they're not senior to anything no explicitly listed as junior, or any existing debt)

will rank equally in right of payment with any of our unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated (including our Existing Convertible Notes),

will be effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries...

That's a rather junior senior note.

None of this matters unless they go bust, in which case it really matters.

This is absolutely a thing. I've spent months in another country before, and took a ~4 month round-the-world trip a couple years ago. It takes some adjustment to re-enter your home country. I can't imagine what it must be like for people who've lived abroad for years.

But what's nice about it, if you can engage with it this way, is the fresh perspective on your (formerly) habituated world this state can offer.

It's not about the lyrics being deep almost no lyrics in any popular music are deep except in a im14andthisisdeep sense. It's usually about not understanding regional slang or inside jokes.

For example I really like grime but I haven't lived in England for over a decade so I have no clue what a lot of their references mean when I first hear them because I never hear them in my day to day. Genius helps with that and a lot of other cases.
Yeah honestly I was surprised at the success as well, because you're right, it's sort of a niche topic that's hard to tie to some measurable pay off.

I can't say for sure what the split was between personal sales and business sales, but based on the customers I've spoken to, I would guess the vast majority were personal sales. If you include folks who purchased it themselves and then asked for reimbursement through their company, I think that would cover every customer save a handful.
I guess I don't understand the value of querying based on a slug when the slugs could disappear or change non-deterministically. Wouldn't that pattern of APIs just encourage code that works a lot except then it suddenly stops working for a totally opaque reason?
I spent a couple summers home from college working the circulation desk at the local library branch near my parents' home. They lent books for 21 days, and the women who were voracious romance novel readers would return and check out an entire tote bag full of paperbacks every time they visited.

I would say a model S has more in common with a mid range Chevy than a luxury car. This will probably be more true with the model 3.

They are fun to drive, but try a Tesla and then a Audi, BMW or Mercedes and it is a different world inside the car.

Tesla is not a luxury car, just a very highly priced and high performance car.
That's how I felt coming back to NYC from San Francisco.
I dont even think it's worth reading about him. He's a criminal who got away with it for a long time because of geography and the supply and demand relationship between cold weather and unoccupied cabins.
I pastured Cornish Cross, which is the standard broiler barn chickens. They are genetically predisposed to pack on as much muscle in as short a time span as possible. By the time they're ~ 9 to 10 weeks old, they are waddling giants, and I'd definitely not characterize them as exercised. :)

That said, the difference that being able to forage green grass and insects in the short period they were out on pasture (usually 4-6 weeks, weather dependent) was so remarkable in terms of the flavour and the texture of the meat, that we're effectively ruined for eating any other non-pastured chickens. The fat was rich and velvety, the dark meat was meaty and deep in flavour; everything was just moist and juicy and delicious.

We didn't do many on a yearly basis (about 1000 +/-), and I was primarily using them for fertilizing pasture that I was grazing with our dairy herd. The fact that they were spectacular eating was just a side benefit.

If you're ever able to track one down, I'd highly recommend giving one a go.
A somewhat more succinct option could be to coerce to Object and then use instanceof: 'Object(x) instanceof String'. Or you could use Object.getPrototypeOf, which coerces to Object automatically these days. But null and undefined are special: calling Object on them returns {}, and calling Object.getPrototypeOf on them throws.

If the type you're testing for is not one of the builtin literal types, you can just use instanceof.
This story... doesn't really strike me as that worthy of contemplating for too long. Really, how is this guy really particularly different from someone who is basically just homeless? I mean, instead of living on the outskirts of summer resort towns in Maine, he could be homeless living on the outskirts of Bayonne, New Jersey, sifting through trash or breaking into 7-11s at night. The whole "into the woods" thing is sort of almost beside the point here. The guy didn't actually live as some sort of pre-Columbian hunter-gatherer. He was just basically a homeless guy who robbed houses. I'm not sure why anyone thinks we can learn something from him... other than, perhaps, how to break into houses.
My wife works in supply chain (top 5 cosmetics company in Brazil) as a senior analyst and she alone managed to save several million dollars in the last couple of years just by doing the right stuff with Microsoft Excel, the right stuff nobody was doing before she joined them. You would be surprised how amateurish big rich companies can seem sometimes.
I actually sort of pieced together everything I could from Nathan through his (now discontinued) podcast, blog posts, and interviews.

I purchased Authority (just the book) afterwards, in case there were any other useful pieces of info in there and to say thanks for all of the free content that helped me so much, and just buying the book up front would've saved me a lot of hunting around, all the good stuff is in there :)

That being said, the podcasts and interviews are still well worth a listen, if only to really reinforce some of the more important ideas and build confidence in the approach by hearing about other folks' success stories.

> But people starving is not a crop efficiency problem. It's a political problem, every time.

Yes, one example of that political problem would be food prices being driven up by creating political barriers to more resource efficient crop technologies.
Yep, and you needed the car battery and the joystick.
I have a model 3 reservation, but I don't think it can be successful on this timeline. I mean it seems like the design is still not 100% set and we are just now seeing test cars. For other car makers this would mean mass production is at least a year away.

Do you guys know of any solid guides on how to use and mix and match colors in photography and video making to evoke certain specific emotions? It's easy to find materials on entry level color theory "here are complementary colors, here is a triad etc" but I haven't been able to find a good resource on how to use those coloring choices to influence viewer reactions. Seems like something everybody in the visual arts eventually has to master but also seems very undocumented, like a black art.
I think the fact this is book is a success shows just how many people are having problems with Ruby on Rail performance.

If they would be willing to rethink their stack, they might have lesser need for such books.
In defense of the article, I would like to point out that science, like all other human endeavours, rests on philosophical assumptions. In addition, modern science rests on assumptions that were developed by philosophers.

It is therefore entirely appropriate to point out that quantum physics undermines one philosophical theory, namely materialism. And that in turn implies that some other philosophical position is correct.
You dont know what youre talking about. They do make batteries. 2170s are rolling off the gig assembly line as we speak. They are already in their products. Please think before you speak.
Exactly.

The complaint in the article is that Web Components don't _also_ add a nice API fro creating DOM trees.

This is true, but not relevant. The ideas of a component model and tree creation DSL are orthogonal.

Hyperscript (the JS library) is a nice API for creating DOM trees, that's similar to React's createElement(). You can use it with or without Web Components.
Nice to hear. I worked on B/AB, D. My impression was that everything seemed to be a mess, but especially management. My direct supervisor (an area manager) wanted me to fudge the numbers and lie to his boss (a center manager). By then, I'd had enough and left.
Their agility in comparison to GM is communicated very well. At least they tackle innovative moonshot projects, it motivates people to give their best.

In other companies the ones innovating are the minority and people dwell on past successes.

I'd rather work at an innovative company than for GM.
"As the trial for Breivik's bomb-and-shooting rampage that killed 77 people entered its second week, the far-right fanatic told a court that he was the victim of a "racist" plot to discredit his ideology. He said no one would have questioned his sanity if he were a "bearded jihadist." "

I like this idea too. Because battery positioning within a car is quite important (at least what have read about the teslas it is) there could be a smaller 100km (60 mi) range swappable battery that is easy to remove and replace.

Not really - React needs a large run time, and it's really not a good fit for an existing app where you need a true component you can pop in and use within a Java or Rails app.
Illiberal arts colleges: pay more, get less (free speech)
In its most general sense temperature describes how the entropy of a system increases/decrease as a reaction to temperature, if there is only 1 possible state then entropy is 0 and can neither increase or decrease so the notion of temperature doesn't really make sense.

Some of your replies are pointing out that empty space actually still has some states, but even ignoring that, it's just not really sensible to talk about the temperature of nothing.
This drives me bananas every time someone links me through DropBox. I actively dislike people sharing stuff to me with DropBox.

Would make sense to make for a free product but if people are paying and this is still broken, seems a bit stupid.

Actually... now that I think about it; what annoys me most is the fact that it pops up a login box. If it was just on the side not covering the content I probably wouldn't dislike it so much.
I don't think it's unsolvably flawed. It's just hard as hell. If you take a structured data approach to annotation and commenting, you can use analytics to weed the naturally-occurring power law distribution of comments down to just the best ideas on any particular sentence, for example.
As a long-term play, I think as much as people think about investing capital, they should think about investing their time the same way. You put some blocks of time into a particular project that scales well, and it'll eventually provide you with enough passive income to escape being a service layer for hire. In that sense, a job would be a portfolio of investments you can make time-wise in building yourself and passive income assets.
