I have subscribed to RSS feed on feedly where I skim through the list when I am idle/on the road/catching a smoking break and If I find something interesting save the link to pocket.

I usually clear my pocket reading list each weekend, even if there was something I dint finish reading (used to happen a lot), I just flush it out because that helps me determine my bandwidth for reading over a fixed time period.

Though mostly I am interested in comments section of tech/startups related topics, I also use feedly's reader count to decide whether to read or not articles on other topics.

It's perfectly legal for a corporation to donate to a Super PAC supporting candidate's reelection efforts.

If you have a PhD AND 20 years of job experience, I am sorry to say you are doing something really wrong if your base salary has not crossed the six figure mark. Maybe companies in the UK don't pay as much as those in the US; I wouldn't know. If that is the case though, I would suggest that you work in the US for a few years and maybe move back and try to negotiate a better offer. Having EU/UK citizenship makes it much easier for you to work in the US and I would implore you to make the most use of it.

I plan to never switch away from my iPhone 5S unless it breaks for some reason. It's a phone, why would I need anything new on my phone? I consider it pretty much perfect and it only gets better because now the value is so little, I dont have to be so scared anymore that it will be stolen.
The best solution to a homeless problem is to move them somewhere else and make your location less attractive. You can't cure the homeless and crazy and trying to a waste of money. Either put them back in mental wards or accept that they're going to live on the streets and put them somewhere they won't bother anyone.

I have a relative that's homeless and mentally ill and there's absolutely nothing you can do to keep them off the streets. Even with a free place to live he gets kicked out for threatening neighbors or screaming gibberish. Has a criminal record of doing crazy stuff so shelters will give him food but will not let him stay there.

I think anyone that's spent a lot of their life trying to help someone with severe mental illness realizes that the only humane way to deal with these people is to put them in a ward or prison. It's honestly much safer for them there, they get reliable food and some medical care. These types of people are a danger to themselves and being in a controlled environment is the best you can hope for.

I'm personally pleased whenever I hear that my relative is back in jail because then I don't have to worry that he's dying on the side of the road.

Since all the bleeding hearts that haven't dealt with someone in this state keep voting to close down mental wards these people are now flooding the streets, terrorizing people, and dying constantly.

If people don't want mental wards, which is by far the best solution, the alternative becomes putting them on some kind of "homeless island" where they can hurt themselves and each-other but at least not the rest of society.

I know it is nerdy, but what a weird PDF (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/29_03_17_article5...)

Pages 1 and 4 are text (allow text selection), the other ones are images (on iPad)

I wonder what process could have led to that; it is not simply a matter of having one section produced in a different way from the other, as, for example, page 5 continues an enumeration started on page 4.
A Chemical Bond Neural-Network which makes human intuition rigorous
It depends. Obviously if you're an experienced front end web developer then Electron is an easy choice, and the benefits of using your existing knowledge probably outweighs the speed/resource benefits of a native app, especially for something simple.

A lot of people think Electron is easy to use for everyone though. I fell into this trap last year, I've been doing HTML/CSS since I was in school, and I'm comfortable enough in JS. But once things started getting complex with my project, I realised I was going to need to use some of the bigger frameworks that I'm not familiar with. I started trying to build something with React, Redux, and all the various things that go with it, got overwhelmed, and gave up.

I've recently gone back to the original idea I had, and started from scratch in Qt, with no knowledge of it. It was a bit of a learning curve at the start, but overall the learning experience has been a lot easier than trying to learn the entire current JavaScript ecosystem.

I would say Electron is a good choice for JS experts or simple programs, but otherwise I'd recommend at least giving Qt a try.
Chemists think of molecules in terms of bonds, but they are not physically well-defined objects. In this paper we use a Neural-Network and TensorFlow to learn the same concept, with success.

You're right, it does. It highlights the strange special status sex is given, and the awful consequences caused by that special status.

I can't think of many other situations in which (all else equal) a parent would choose to increase a child's risk of life-altering mistakes because reducing that risk would not reduce other risks as well. Don't tell Becky to brush her teeth; she might just fall down and break them out anyway.

Everyone's child is a special snowflake, but we know abstinence-only education is a failure at reducing unwanted pregnancy and STDs. What it doesn't fail at is increasing human misery by weaponizing moral choices about sex.
Which is funny, because reading the comments seems to be suggesting they're colluding to keep salaries high in order to squash startups!

Your comment is pretty hard to parse, but that's not a thing that I've ever hard anybody say.

>PS: Remember, the best way to keep power long term is to convince everyone else to hand it to you.

Your phrasing makes me think that you're trying to be sarcastic, but that's exactly how every long term transition of power has ever worked. If people are not convinced that you should have the power, they will take it away on a whim. See, for example, the US civil rights movement vs. the emancipation proclamation and civil war. The South was not in general convinced by the emancipation proclamation, and so the oppression continued in the extreme. The civil rights movement did an awful lot of convincing, and though there are still those that are unconvinced, the power transition was far more lasting and complete. Force only works as long as you have the upper hand. Convincing works as long as the other person is convinced.

I mean, one would think that anyone with the minimum sense of logical thinking would understand that it is way easier to prevent 1 (as one, singular) single egg to get fixated in the uterus during the course of 28 days, than to prevent millions (as in > 1000000) of spermatozoids to be produced every single day.

But perhaps it's just me that actually looked at the obvious numbers...
Yes, journalism is just stage writing where the play is strung together by selectively taking quotes from people and putting them out of context into a sequential order that makes it look as if it were caused by a preconceived narrative.
It's not likely that they would attempt active attacks to decrypt your TLS web traffic. I'd assume they won't be able to read the full contents of those sessions.

STARTTLS on mail is a slightly different story, though I'm going to assume that most of the established compaines are smart enough fo avoid email snooping.

You might, however, be surprised at how much you give away via the metadata associated with your web browsing.
It's probably difficult because you don't have children and therefore lack the experience necessary to develop a comprehensive understanding of the topic.

That's not to say your partial understanding is not valid, it's just incomplete.

Not only am I adopted (thus not "wanted"), but neither of my children were planned and my wife and I initially couldn't agree. From my real world experience, and not speculation, it only takes one person to "want" a child, and biology literally has nothing to do with it. I'm also not angry, sad, or pained with regret; it's impossible to generalize how individuals will respond.

All of that said, I'm all for increasing the availability and effectiveness of birth control, and hope that children make their way to an environment of love and nurturing. So, what really can't be understated is the importance of parents and guardians being emotionally equipped to respond to those responsibilities in a way that is positive to all involved.
>I'd say the desire to build empires is a far more dominant part of human history than fights for independence.

There's a mindset in much of europe that labor and capital are partners in determining a company's or even industry's future. In fact, the unions often sit down to negotiate with the government and industry leaders as equals to set industry policies.
Unsweetened cashew milk is the best "veggie milk".

I find soy milk to be so thick it feels like drinking yogurt. Almond milk tastes like dirt to me, but cashew milk is so close to milk that I haven't found any reason to buy actual cow's milk in years.

Agree with you on cheese though. There just isn't good vegan cheese.
The choice here is (maybe there is a grey-scale here, but I don't see it): either you accept oppression and forcibly commit them (under certain conditions), or you value freedom and let them be if they choice to.
The only general consensus seems to be: when they don't break any laws (or endanger other people).
> How about ads with privacy? They are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, but internet advertising fetishizes "personalization" and quantitative metrics, which are predicated on invasions of privacy. Advertisers could put those toys down, and go back to more traditional, privacy-preserving advertising, but I don't think they have the maturity and willpower to do so on their own.

... Obviously my comment was meant as a suggestion to look into things and note the availability of a well known substance that already accomplished birth control in men. It wasn't intended as a "read this comment and start injecting yourself".

You're of course free to attempt to convince a doctor to prescribe. Or you can buy the drugs and get a $100 blood test to verify it's real as well as do a fertility test. It's just an affront to liberty to pay a gatekeeper to allow you to change your own hormones.

Personally, because I don't like being told what to do :) If I don't have a significant amount of control I shut down, become depressed, anxious that I'm wasting my life, etc. I'm also wary of being taken advantage of. If I'm going to spend half or more my waking hours working I want to be reaping the profits. I need freedom. I've been directing product at a seed stage startup to get my bearings in the small business world but now I'm feeling antsy because I am starting to think I could be doing better on my own while having more control over my time, the products I build, the money those products earn, etc.

Cognitive limits do exist. Hardwired g-factor correlates like working memory will ultimately limit any one individual's capacity for understanding the above.

I do agree with your larger point, though. SF/NYC/Boston are not the only places one can find high-IQ individuals motivated to learn and build things.

Your best strategy would be not to have a fixed salary, but a range of salary which you can afford with your outlay, and then seen what the potential hire can be enticed with. That way you know immediately if the candidate is too expensive for you.

Just randomly increasing everyone's salary may not be very helpful.

>That'll never work, as long as it's just a personal ethical thing. There's always someone who would rather take the money.

So true

>Now, if there was a professional organization or union with some teeth, which could enforce some kind of ethical code, then maybe "engineers" could do something about stuff like this.

That won't work either. A few years ago most of the "programmers/developers/computer scientists" I worked with (we weren't pretending to be engineers yet), all had C-S degrees (either C-S undergrad or math/physics undergrad with C-S masters+). And by and large these people were usually members of the ACM or IEEE.

Now with the rise of the "self tough (software) engineer", these professional organizations are weaker than ever before. My cube make is not only likely to be a boot camp graduate, they are likely to not know what the ACM is, never mind any ethical standards its has and of course have no concern for being kicked out.

Now I am not saying all this is good or bad, democratization of technology has pros and cons. But its a shift that makes depending on professional orgs more worthless than ever before. (some of this is also coast vs inland US, the west coast as always had more self-tough vs academia tought programmers).

Tantalum died years ago. It was a suicide.

Multiple scarcity events, skyrocketing prices, and then in 2014 you couldn't buy them even if you wanted to.

Purchasing agents were seen chasing design engineers with pitchforks by torchlight.

Ceramic MLCC's have filled their spot. Better, much easier to use and safer.

And the modern poly hybrid electrolytics are amazing, as well.

Tantalum poly caps are probably great, but the fear is still there and too recent - so I doubt they will get very popular except in small specific instances where they are absolutely better than anything else.
Alternative hypothesis: these salaries are helping startups.

It is fantastic that someone not born into wealth and connections can pay off their debt in record time, then save enough to cover financial security and take a few risks, such as quitting the well paying job to bootstrap a company before your twenties are over. And if the venture goes pear shaped, there are plenty of high paying jobs to catch up with the rat race.

I've heard of $170k starting salaries in the Valley last year, admittedly for the best students from MIT or Stanford. But on that money, or even half of it, you do not need to hot bunk to put a serious amount away, and give yourself the time to develop the product or convince a decent technical person to join you. And you won't be (as much) at the mercy of investors or clients.

And many do. The right is enshrined in several of the amendments to the U.S. Constitution, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/

There is Warren and Brandeis, "The Right to Privacy", 1890, which specifically addresses the publication of private aspects of citizens' (and residents') lives:

* Recent inventions and business methods call attention to the next step which must be taken for the protection of the person, and for securing to the individual what Judge Cooley calls the right "to be let alone" [10] Instantaneous photographs and newspaper enterprise have invaded the sacred precincts of private and domestic life; and numerous mechanical devices threaten to make good the prediction that "what is whispered in the closet shall be proclaimed from the house-tops." For years there has been a feeling that the law must afford some remedy for the unauthorized circulation of portraits of private persons;[11] and the evil of invasion of privacy by the newspapers, long keenly felt, has been but recently discussed by an able writer.[12] The alleged facts of a somewhat notorious case brought before an inferior tribunal in New York a few months ago,[13] directly involved the consideration of the right of circulating portraits; and the question whether our law will recognize and protect the right to privacy in this and in other respects must soon come before our courts for consideration.*

Hoverboard.sale Launches Off Road Hoverboard for Tough Tracks
Hello,

this is not only true for developing countries but even for developed countries. I'll speak about my country, Greece. The average wage for a junior developer is a little less than 20 000 euros per month (around 1000 years/month x 14 months + 4000 for insurance etc) while for a senior may be a little more (but probably less than 30 000, depends on years and kind of work). Wages of more than 35 000 euros are seldom found for developers and are mainly reserved for management positions. The wages are more or less the same on most Southern Europe countries (Italy, Spain etc) and are definitely much less in less developed European Countries (Bulgaria, Hungary etc).

So, if you focus on developers from similar countries you can get top talent (and I mean that, there are many great developers here, most of these people are better than the ones in Silicon Valley since they are working in their own country which the jobs are not much instead of migrating to a different place to find a job) for less than 40 000 euros / year.

The only drawback would be that they'd want to work remotely (or else they'd have already migrated). So the best course of action is to create your company's culture to not only allow but to embrace remote work (i.e by trying to only hire remote people -- this'll also save you money). Also, another idea is that migrate the start up offices instead of trying to convince developers to migrate!

Greece is a beautiful country after all :)
Good advice, particularly the point about not capturing conversations word for word. Much better to get the gist correct than strive to get everything exactly (and inevitably end up missing things).

I also like the "How Might We..." post-it strategy (outlined in http://www.thesprintbook.com/). That turns each point into an actionable question with a positive-spin.
