Re: the gotchas, it's possible that this is due to how the app is architected in combination with how the phone and OS are architected. The input rate of 3D Touch, for example, is tightly coupled to the display output frame rate, which, in turn, is tightly coupled to the things you do on the main thread. I don't know off-hand if the camera input is coupled to anything in this way, but it's something to look into, and Apple's documentation should indicate this sort of behavior.
It seems like middle initial was also used... she knew the other person was Lisa S Davis but had to figure out what her middle name was.
It's mind-blowing how the majority of high school students are lied to each year about the ROI of college. The internet has re-written the rules, and high school educators don't know how to teach that.

I would have benefited so much more from a program that taught how to be self-sufficient and the major, major benefits of living debt free.

Context: $150k in student loans - lucky enough to have an electrical engineering corporate job to (minimally) pay the bills.

EDIT: More Context: I went to an engineering focused private university, borrowed my way through the whole thing (housing, food, everything), parents didn't pay a dime. Stupid? Yes.
> The automobile industry will contract as we move from individual ownership to mobility.

What does this even mean? People like to leave stuff in their cars (e.g. mug, gym bag). They like them to be at their preferred level of cleanliness or disorder. Some even use them as a means of personal expression.

If "mobility" were so desirable, ZipCar would have taken off 10 years ago. The "mobility" market will be about the size of the taxi, bus, and train market.
I think GM deserves to be at the top of the list. Cruise is very quickly closing the gap between themselves and Waymo, and they have a comitted car company to back them up. The jury is still out as to whether Ford can make good headway on their 'secret sauce', which is now in the hands of Argo.ai.
Enterprise value isn't the value of the business, its the cost to acquire a business and assume its debt. You've assumed that you have to take on a company's debt as an acquirer to take over a company.

The market cap is closest to its value representing what it takes to control/own/sell the company.
You're welcome! And yes, that's absolutely my intent :) There's lots of "getting started" tutorials for React and Redux, but the official docs for both can only cover so much information. So, I've deliberately tried to collect articles on more advanced topics - stuff like "higher order components" for React, "normalizing state" for Redux, "hot module replacement" for Webpack, etc.
Parachutes are key to survival when jumping from airplanes. Doesn't mean they always work or are always used correctly.

Maybe this is a matter of necessary but not sufficient? I have no strong opinion, I am just pointing at a grey area.
I dunno, the fact that your startup is in the blockchain space is a little too close to banking/fintech for my tastes. PLUS, larger companies don't have a problem abusing NDAs if they can get something out of it.
10000x yes
Let me rephrase: why isn't the DMV and the NYPD liable for the damage caused by their actions?

Of course you're going to get a bureaucracy Kafka would be proud of if it doesn't have to face any consequences for actions it takes.

If the police had to indemnify all parties for all damages (regardless of innocence - let the courts assign fines, not the police), they'd be reorganized with saner policies in a heartbeat.

As is... well, they should rename Russian roulette.
OS/2 Warp did work on standard PCs.

However, OS/2 2.0 was only available to those with enough deep pockets to buy a IBM PS/2 Model 35 SLC, back on the city I was living.

There weren't any shops selling OS/2 2.0 boxes without an IBM PC to come along.
If you break those PC models open what's really different? The hardware interfaces of PC has almost always been stable since the age of IBM PC clones. It might not be a monoculture in terms of all the RGB lightings you can put on your machine, but you definitely don't need to worry about different protocols. All the while Android phones can have the weirdest SoC's on the planet in them.
> Had their pricey FIOS service for a year and despite having a high bandwidth they kept throttling Youtube videos.

They weren't directly throttling things, they just let their peering connections max out until things broke.

> He said he believes that Verizon's decision to limit Netflix bandwidth is due to Verizon wanting customers to use its own streaming video services, such as Redbox Instant.

I'm not sure if anything has really changed in 4 years.
ah hell, might as well toss in the 5 largest software companies while we're at it.
> My comment was based on the arguments of pro-immigration people, and their desire for "virtually unlimited immigration."

Nobody has done that in this subthread.

And, by the way, your claim was there is "virtually unlimited immigration", still waiting an argumentation about your claim.

>It's kind of telling that instead of responding with "that's not what we believe," the response has been sophistry and trying to deflect.

Yes, it is telling because it is what you have done in this thread, I have asked about your claim that there is virtually unlimited immigration right now and your answer have talking about hypothetical arguments from other people.

You don't have any proof and you only think other people wants it. So, I won't waste more time with your no-answers

This is obviously a fairly extreme case where enough identifiers match (as well as rough location) that supposedly unique official records aren't in fact unique.

But, even outside of official records, I often
wonder how many issues there are these days where someone with a relatively unusual name happens to share that name with someone with a prominent web profile. And that person could plausibly be them (for reasons of age, location, occupation) and have some background that would give potential employers, dates, etc. serious pause.

In pre-web days, I knew someone in NYC who shared a name with someone who was notorious (and widely hated) in New York sports circles. My acquaintance literally got death threats on his home answering machine.
The dealerships won't sell it. Any marketing they do for it will hurt their other brands. Any marketing they do for their other brands will hurt it.

It's like McDonalds selling an organic, grass fed burger. If they talk about the quality of the beef, they're basically saying the Big Mac is low quality beef.

reference to Arrested Development... Not a real word. But kinda works anyway.
I think in a few years we will talk about how in 2017 people based their investment on the idea, that one company will win in not one, but in two already saturated markets, competing against companies with hundreds of thousands of employees.
"On the fourth of April" when spoken, "on 4 April" when written.

Example with lots of written dates: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/29/article-50-brexit... (but I could equally choose a formal document, like my birth certificate, or something very informal, like a handwritten note).

When spoken, the "of" is always included, and the number is always an ordinal (-th etc).
Here's the CEO of Ford a few weeks ago talking about launching a car with Level 4 autonomy, with a goal of doing it by 2021:

So not really resisting the whole thing, just no belief that hand offs can work safely.

How is signing a contract, with the respective legal consequences for breach of contract, a non-trivial problem to solve?
Blockbuster had thousands of stores. How could Netflix possibly compete?

Tesla isn't playing Ford's game. The ultimate value of TSLA is in the vertically integrated electric Tesla Network with millions of level 5 self-driving vehicles.

Why would you want an ICE vehicle when you can own a Tesla that drives you & your family anywhere you want, charges itself and makes you money on the side. Closely following that...why own a car at that point? Just order one up off the Tesla Network.
Do you have investors? Check any documents or shareholders agreements you've signed to make sure you can actually do this type of work without breaking an existing contract. At the very least you may need written permission from your investors in order to go ahead.

As for signing an NDA, I've found that often people who require them are pedantic about unimportant things and difficult to work with, so unless there is a very good reason they'd need one I'd be very cautious about getting involved.
Try to solve the updated challenge!
Ah damn, sorry, didn't realize the whoishiring.io will pick it up as such. Unfortunately in this thread you see often people asking the same question, but i should have clarified in a reply. Thanks.
There also would need to be a motivating factor. US doesn't have any reason to want to take over Canada.

Here is how a black SJW addresses the issue: Black Single Mothers Are More Than Scapegoats

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rasheena-fountain/black-single...

So, basically if you think single motherhood as a phenomenon is a social problem, in her mind, you are blaming single mothers. I never understand this kind of mind-twisting.
If you bring one atom to a second atom, a second atom will react to the proximity of the first atom in the time it takes light to travel from the first atom to the second one. Atoms never really touch, but the point is that there is always latency.
Hillbilly Elegy this. Thiel that. We must be doing something right or we wouldn't be crushing it so bad.

Yes, Wyoming has as much clout in the Senate as CA. And Wyoming, North and South Dakota have as much as CA, NY and MA and still we're crushing it that bad.

Perhaps the problem, such as it is, can be restated as instead of what are we doing wrong (that allows us to crush it so bad) to what are we doing right (that allows us to crush it so bad that talented people and money want to come here from all over the world). They can of course, take their talents and Bitcoins to WY, ND and SD. It's a free country.
Are you sure? From where I sit, it looks like Tesla is just offering a traditional car with a different set of organs. They don't seem to show any signs of doing anything different than ford on the sales/direction angle.
if she had gone for the "not guilty option" she would have missed out on a job and faced much higher financial costs. How would that have helped?
Ask HN: Solved my ADHD. How to handle this in interviews?
Ask HN: Solved my ADHD. How to handle this in interviews?

I'm preparing to interview at top-tier firms -- I especially want to work at Google. The problem is that I've had some mental issues that have held back my career development. I have accomplishments: I've shipped hit iPhone games. I've been told that I'm the best programming teacher that a student's ever had. But, I've gotten a reputation as a really smart guy who's easy to work with, but who's slow to deliver. Thing is, as of 2017 -- I've solved this problem to my satisfaction. How do I handle this discrepancy between potential and results / references when applying to jobs?

I'm 40 ish; I started University three years early, but failed out in my last year.

Around 2001-2002, I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD, and started taking meds. I developed severe side-effects and had to stop.

After that I bounced back and forth between jobs and being self-employed every 1-3 years. The same lack of focus was just deadly to any kind of entrepreneurship.

Fast forward to 2016. Got separated, sold house. Bailed on teaching gigs. Almost died. Basically, shit the bed.

To start 2017, I stopped drinking alcohol and caffeine. This greatly improved my sleep quality. All of a sudden it was no problem to get up at 6:30 am, and I had better concentration throughout the day.

A couple of months ago I started taking a new generation of ADD meds (Strattera). The results have been remarkable! I simply don't procrastinate. Total game changer!

So there's this radical increase in my effectiveness now that I want to use as a positive when applying to jobs. How should I handle what I consider to be this greatly positive change? If I don't mention it, then there are obvious questions about why I haven't progressed further, or why my businesses haven't succeeded. If I mention it, do I screw myself?
The reason the comparison is downplayed is because Hitler committed genocide and attempted to exterminate an entire race. Not only did he do these things, he talked about them before he had gained political power.

Now I am no Trump fan, and frankly think he's one of the worst president's we've ever had. But that doesn't make him Hitler; because as far as I am aware he's never said anything about wanting to commit genocide.
I'm kinda with @iamatworknow on this, too (thus right there with ya too).

I've contemplated the idea of my next pickup being a commercial vehicle, if I can get one (as a single unit and not a fleet sale) - which I probably won't be able to, but I can dream.

It seems like that's the only way (except for going used) that I'm going to be able to get what I want: A standard-cab, short-bed pickup, ideally 4WD.

I don't have kids, and won't have kids. I have no need for four doors and an extended cab. I don't need a long bed. I want a short wheelbase. So far, it's either buy a used pickup (back when they made and sold these kinds of trucks) or go with a commercial vehicle (where you can still sometimes find them - sometimes).

The other perk about a commercial version is that they are stripped down to the bone. Nothing fancy in the cab, just the bare basics for a radio, cloth interior, non-electric controls for windows and seats. Basically, eliminate all the fru-fru stuff to make that much more reliable for work-based usage.

In other words, I want a truck to be a truck - not some fancy "I only go to the mall to show off" substitute for a minivan. Add in some basic 4WD with manual hubs (again - nothing to break) - and there ya go. That's my dream truck (ok - if there were a Raptor version of it that'd be nice, too - but I can't afford that, so who really cares).
Why do I feel like I just failed a bloodninja-style Turing test.
Who is that person? It appears to be the system rather than an individual.

You can get pretty far with Flask. You'll need an ORM, so you'll likely chuck SQLAlchemy in. Then you'll want easier access to SQLAlchemy, sorta like, you know, django does it, so you pick up https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask-sqlalchemy.

But you can't use pure SQLAlchemy models (easily), since this otherwise great extension for flask doesn't support it (https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask-sqlalchemy/pull/250, yes I'm in the thread).

You'll fork it or brew your own code to get declarative models working right. Kinda time consuming, but at least your models can be pulled in by any python code, and aren't tied down to a framework (That's what you were avoiding from the first place, wasn't it?)

Then you'll pick up WTForms (https://wtforms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), another excellent library. And you'll miss having Django ORM's rich form and model-backed validation. So you'll try wtforms-alchemy, https://github.com/kvesteri/wtforms-alchemy.

Then you'll begin to see why Django makes sense after using Flask for a while. Django pulls in all the essential stuff and supports it well.

And top of that, django's addons like django-extensions (https://django-extensions.readthedocs.io), which gives you Werkzeug's debugger if you use ./manage.py runserver_plus. And ./manage.py shell_plus, which integrates with ptpython/ipython/bpython (https://django-extensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shell_plu...).

Django rest framework, DRF for short (http://www.django-rest-framework.org/), which is very mature at this stage, runs circles around Flask API. Flask API is inspired by DRF. You could also try https://flask-restful.readthedocs.io, but after all that, you'll be missing that tight model support.

You'll love flask. The code is top tier and exemplary. The testsuites are a dream and are very clear. Documentation is awesome. It feels good to code in it. But django feels good to code in as well.

Django's ORM is very mature. It's easier than SQLAlchemy, and despite SQLAlchemy's purity, and documentation - even better than flask's - Django's ORM does the trick for pretty much anything, even foreign databases I've interacted with. Another thing, QuerySet's are a charm, a lot of django's addons like django-filters, django-rest-framework and django-tables2 are built on top of its versatility.

Another thing Flask community ends up having to clone from Django is django-debug-toolbar https://github.com/django-debug-toolbar/django-debug-toolbar. See https://flask-debugtoolbar.readthedocs.io.

Again, I love flask, but when I realized that I'm just going to end up reinventing django with my flask app anyway, I started going with django on new projects. I haven't turned back, but still check out flask and sqlalchemy to see what's happening now and then.
There's probably more effective ways for government & corporations to track an individual's internet usage nowadays than web advertising. :/
> Conservatives hate liberals far more than we dislike them.

You know, I've seen conservatives making the opposite claim a lot lately too. Maybe (hopefully) neither side really hates the other nearly as much as you both like to imagine.

People need to chill the hell out.
For those wondering, the article makes an analogy between Thompson's 'Trusting Trust' paper and gene editing.

It wouldn't have surprised me to hear that Thompson had moved into gene hacking (at the age of 74) but I think he still works for Google.
I stand by my remark, as I don't have a way to confirm what security updates Google bothers to release at all to "outdated" devices.
"[Navient pointed out]...more than 40 percent of loan balances it services for the Education Department are enrolled in income-based repayment plans."

Over 40% of people with US Government-sponsored student loans--which were presumably taken out in order to advance the career prospects of the borrower--are not being paid sufficiently to repay their loans on the basis of their original issuance, _and this is presented as a good thing_.

Unbelievable.
I'm building a similar app for measuring UI latencies, but as a desktop app (for regressions checks on CI). Your app seems much more universal and platform-agnostic, really cool idea!

You're contending with some very intractable land use and land economics issues, and effectively addressing them will be very difficult without addressing some of these issues, like preferential access to capital over many other asset classes, preferential terms, preferential tax treatment, preferential infrastructure treatment, etc. This doesn't even start to get into the fact that out of all asset classes, property is an extremely common and popular asset class held and upholds a substantial portion of the wealth of most of the political class around the world. Legislating against property as wealth goes directly against their personal financial interests.

Practical solutions that have a hope of actually taking effect within the next 2-3 years must be deployable without the aid of legislation. One way to mitigate speculators is to put up a credible threat that you (the company) wield the ability to unilaterally and virtually overnight make their speculation worthless. If you are able to structure a company town such that it is Google-level amenities and infrastructure attractive and physically entirely self-contained (even water sourcing, water treatment, energy generation, recycling/waste management, schools, parks, restaurants, and retail shops, etc., are part of the company town), then demonstrate the capability to move everything at a moment's notice within a month or two and leave behind just bare foundation ties, then after the first such move that bankrupts the speculators that call the company's bluff, future speculators will find it extraordinarily difficult to secure loans to speculate with.

Lots and lots of details I'm leaving out, and this wouldn't be without its problems and challenges, but if you really want to slice the Gordian Knot of high property prices inflating employee compensation, then it will take an outside-the-box action of this magnitude to do so.
I keep both WiFi and cellular data off unless I need them. Don't like the idea of my phone churning through background processes and network activity from my pocket.
And yet, you also see Ford addressing themselves as a "mobility company." I think your confirmation bias is showing here. These companies (and Ford especially, it seems) see where the market is heading and are trying to get ahead of the puck. I can almost guarantee Ford has a thinktank working hard right now to put together a autonomous vehicle service.
As a British person living in Denmark, I haven't written a cheque for about... well... a long time.

My current British bank account didn't come with a cheque book, but the one I had when I was a student did. So probably 2009 or so; maybe one or two per year before that.
