I just read a NYT article that some breast implants were linked to causing cancer. So, while I appreciate your analysis of what the expected biological response is, there is still room for things to go wrong too, in ways we never foresaw - or simply neglected.

But yes, the privacy and precedent implications of this will far outweigh the medical ones.
That was a great analogy.
Have you tried to manage projects across timezones and cultures? Usually the way this works is all of the outsourced work has to be redone in the US anyway, at twice the original cost.
The paper is quite short and very readable (especially if you are just skimming and can skim over some of the details/jargon) but here [0] is a diagram (from the paper) that perhaps will help you understand what is going on.

To summarise, they prepared graphene oxide laminates using vacuum filtration, and then stored them at different relative humidities by changing the salt concentration of the storage liquid. The different relative humidities cause different layer spacing, which they measure with X-ray diffraction, and choose whichever layer spacing they want before adding the epoxy.

The relevant quote from the paper:

Thick (≈100 µm) GO laminates were prepared by vacuum filtration of aqueous GO solutions, as reported previously. The laminates were cut into rectangular strips (4 mm × 10 mm) and stored for one to two weeks at different relative humidities (RH), achieved using saturated salt solutions. The resulting interlayer spacing was measured by X-ray diffraction as
shown in Fig. 1e and varied from ≈ 6.4 to 9.8 Å with RH changing from zero to 100%. GO laminates soaked in liquid water showed d ≈ 13.7 ± 0.3 Å. All these values agree with previous reports, where the changes in d were attributed to successive incorporation of water molecules into various sites between GO sheets. Individual GO strips with desirable d were then encapsulated and stacked together using Stycast epoxy as shown in Figs. 1b,c to increase the available cross-section for filtration to 1 mm (see Methods and supplementary Fig. S1).
The stacked GO laminates, now embedded in the epoxy (Fig. 1c), are referred to as physically confined GO (PCGO) membranes because the epoxy mechanically restricts the laminate’s swelling upon exposure to RH or liquid water (Methods). The stacks were glued into a slot made in either metal or plastic plate (Fig. 1b). Two sides of these stacked PCGO membranes were then trimmed off to make sure that all the nanochannels are open (Fig. 1d) before carrying out permeation experiments, in which ions and water molecules permeates along the lamination direction as shown in Fig. 1a.
What is the best practice for dealing with the brine? Reinjection in to a current? Diffusion over a long pipe? Evaporation in on-shore ponds?
51% of MKR holders versus 51% of miners is a different threat model, but "ability to make MKR" and "ability to own mining kit" both seem to depend on financial expenditure, so I wonder if the difference in practice will be that big?
I faced a relatively similar situation when trying to rent in the East Bay. My wife and I both have 720+ credit scores as were looking to rent in the $2500 range. After going through applications at 3 places and getting rejected, I realized something was off. Our credit scores had been run multiple times and we had paid application processing fees at multiple places yet we were getting rejected. Perhaps the applicant pool is so strong that my 7X multiple on rent income and great scores won't cut it - but I find it hard to believe. Perhaps the blessing of a strong tech economy comes with the curse of arrogant and fraudulant potential landlords. Can't wait to get out of this city

I've just finished up two years at the public company that acquired my previous startup where I've been working as director of product management. On the search for the Next Big Thing but have some availability over the next 3 to 6 months.

7+ years experience across customer discovery, customer acquisition, UX, SEO, growth, product strategy, go-to-market and marketplace dynamics.

Looking for consulting opportunities with post-revenue companies who are between still refining product market fit, through to scaling customer acquisition.

Would also consider pre-revenue companies with deep industry knowledge looking to build an MVP. My cofounder/CTO is a senior rails engineer and we can come as a "rails and sales" pair.

Given what's in the Medium post, there's zero evidence for that. The author is assuming that a scam took place, but another plausible explanation is that the author had a missed rent payment on their record and the management company auto rejects those applicants. Sure, that record might be wrong, but it's still not a scam. Everything else they mentioned is pure speculation.

I think the author, if they feel strongly about this, should reach out to the local community to try to see how common rejections might be. They would also need to establish that CoreLogic is in cahoots with the management company.
>The First place we visited Altis Lakeline managed by Altman Companies was amazing, its a brand new apartment complex with cool amenities, priced at $1400 which is much lower, compare to similar places $1600–$1700, that where I missed first red flag. Plus they had amazing special — 2 months free rent — which under normal circumstances will raise suspicion, I thought it’s a brand new property with construction done a few months ago trying to get to full capacity.

I really had trouble reading through this. I know medium isn't for writers per se but basic proofreading would have helped tremendously.
Thanks. Basically they do a db change inbetween rollouts with no feature yet. Clever.

The assumption is that Tesla is going to knock the market out of its steady state. You aren't going to predict any of those numbers because the space of possibilities is wildly broad for a roiling market. You may as well try to predict the weather a year from now. People instinctively know not to waste time on that.

Put differently, the long argument is a qualitative one, not a quantitative one. This doesn't make it any less intelligent, just harder for people to put into words. See an earlier comment I made[1] about the kind of thing that's meaningful but which is difficult to attach a number to.

And conversely, if you can predict something with numbers, that's a sign that it's stable and less risky, but then the price/ROI will reflect that safety.

hi,
first, i think you need to prove that it works.
second, a monthly recurring subscription service is more palatable to an end-user than a one-time purchase, especially for a new product.
i would be interested in it as i find most news aggregators let me down.
Do you really think Samsung is paying them that much today? Samsung made a silly mistake by underestimating the growth of their phones. This all came to head when Samsung refused to keep paying Microsoft for their prior art ridden shake down patents a couple of years ago. There's a reason why some MS apps are now stubs on Galaxy phones that can now be downloaded.
> Then they made a photocopy of our ID for a file. Which again raised my suspicion, I’ve rented many apartment before and none of properties ever asked for that before signing the lease, in my head it was done deal — so I let it slip.

Seems to be normal here in the bay area. They usually do a background check too and I can't imagine that happening without ID.
IBM Watson | Developer Advocate | SF, NYC | Full-time, REMOTE or ONSITE

I'm hiring developers and developer advocates to join the IBM Watson Developer Advocacy team. We look after Watson's cognitive API platform: https://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/services-catalog.h...

You'll be the interface between IBM Watson and our developer communities. This means:

1. Working with developers from startups, partners, and enterprise clients at conferences, workshops, and meetups, etc

2. Creating technical assets (demos, tutorials, etc) to help our users succeed

3. Improve the platform by bringing developer feedback to product teams, or directly contribute to the SDK/documentation/API tooling

4. Be the voice of our developers and advocate for their interests within IBM

The overall goal is to be an advocate for machine learning and artificial intelligence. Preference is for candidates in SF/NYC/major cities with connections to the local startup/tech community, but remote is also OK.

If you can code, have a passion for AI, like spending time building/hacking, and want to travel the world talking to developers - email me directly: joshzheng@us.ibm.com
But Android is not considered a Linux distro by most stretches. It's Android's fault.

It should have been called a "platform", and, since Google has the ability to say so, they should have told each hardware maker to come up with an OS name "on Android". Tizen on Android. NexusOS on Android. So on.

OR, they should have gone Apple and said "you will have this OS, Android, and it will look as such, and it will be patched as such".
From that link: At Google, our philosophy is that “rollbacks are normal.” When an error is found or reasonably suspected in a new release, the releasing team rolls back first and investigates the problem second.

I like that -- reminds me of aviation, where a go-around is normal. If your approach to landing isn't stabilized, you're too high, too low, too fast, too slow, etc. don't try to save it. Go around and try again.
> This is pretty much what you must do in Haskell

I think you're being a bit generous saying we are doing CT in programming languages. Fine to say inspired by CT, but the OP comment is much more true than what we do in say Haskell. Haskell encourages composition but it does in fact look into (pattern match) on data all the time
I know what a hole saw is. The thing is you aren't going to be cutting through hardened steel with a normal hole saw, assuming the cash box is metal. They could probably have made the enclosure for the cash 8 inches taller and put the computer inside of that, and routed the cables for the modem, the pin pad and the screen through

Making a hole in hardened steel is not easy. If you use a hole saw, it will either need to have diamond abrasive, or you will need carbide bits. If you don't use a hole saw, you are going to be using an angle grinder or a plasma torch.

Getting in fast will either generate a ton of heat or a ton of noise, or both. Plus, carbide and diamond tools are super expensive. Angle grinders, not as much, but I'd notice someone with a 3 foot trail of sparks behind them before I'd notice someone running a drill at a few hundred rpm.

Anyways, I do think they probably used a hole saw, which leads me to believe the computer was located behind some combination of aluminum/plastic/ordinary steel. Which is pretty ridiculous

>It's very easy to make AK-like and AR-like guns.

Preface: I know guns, I like guns, I am a competent machinist and I know all about lowers, gun laws, and the shovel AK. It is not easy to make guns. You need huge factories and while the cartels are theoretically capable of such things, its incomparable to US-based gun manufacture. Mexican factories can be shut down. Mexico can do nothing about guns that come from the US. They can do far less to stop it than we can do to stop drugs from coming into America, and we have been able to do practically nothing.

Manufacturing AKs requires can be done by a blacksmith, but you can't hire ten thousand blacksmiths to produce a gun each every day. You need stamping presses, metal casting, etc. and you will never make a gun as good as a factory. That's just ignorant thinking- the steel, the manufacture, the precision all matter.

>If somehow guns stopped flowing across the border, and cartels still wanted them, they'd be up and running in no time.

That's nonsense. People can make cars from scratch in their garages, but if you stop selling cars to a country they will very quickly not have any more cars. Guns are not that complicated but they aren't that simple. Zip guns have never and will never be a problem in countries with even a partially functional government.

This whole "we can't stop them from getting guns" is emblematic of the magical thinking I was referring to. The scale of the number of guns coming from the US is just way, way beyond what is practical or even possible in other countries. There are plenty of reasons we shouldn't stop guns from flowing into Mexico, but it is a real problem that would no longer exist if we didn't let US guns go to Mexico. There's just no way they would be able to get even a fraction as many guns, anywhere close to the same quality. The US is unique in the entire world for how many (and how many kinds of) guns it has[1]. It's not possible to just go to Russia or China- of the countries that have the most guns the only ones who don't buy them all from the US are Switzerland (where my family immigrated from, incidentally) and France, and they certainly aren't selling to Mexicans.

"SolarCity developed a microgrid with 1.4 megawatts of solar generation capacity — enough to power nearly 100% of the island, according to a SolarCity blog posted on Tuesday. The microgrid is enabled by 60 Tesla Powerpacks, the company's large commercial battery, which can store solar energy at night."

http://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-powers-tau-in-american-...

"The Kauai project consists of a 52 megawatt-hour battery installation plus a 13 megawatt SolarCity solar farm. Tesla and the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative, the power company that ordered the project, believe the project will reduce fossil fuel usage by 1.6 million gallons per year."

http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/8/14854858/tesla-solar-hawaii...

"On Thursday, Tesla announced that it had been chosen “through a competitive process” to supply utility company Southern California Edison with 20 MW (or 80 MWh) of battery storage. In May, regulators ordered Southern California Edison to invest in utility-scale battery networks after natural gas provider SoCal Gas leaked 1.6 million pounds of methane into the atmosphere when a well ruptured at its Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility."

https://arstechnica.com/business/2016/09/socal-utility-will-...

"California will shortly bring more Tesla energy storage systems online in Southern California Edison’s (SCE’s) service area.

The 50 MW projects (utilizing Tesla’s Powerpack 2) are conducted by Macquarie Capital, the corporate advisory, capital markets and principal investing arm of Macquarie Group (a global finance corporation)."

http://insideevs.com/southern-california-edison-to-bring-onl...

"With the confidence of a well-oiled pizza shop, Elon Musk “seriously” said that Tesla could deliver a more than 100 MWh Powerpack project to Australia in 100 days – or it will be free."

...

"Considering a large part of the 100 days will be for shipping the Powerpacks and other equipment from Nevada to Australia and then installing those packs, I wouldn’t be surprised if it means that Tesla and Panasonic already have a capacity of over 100 MWh per month at the Gigafactory. That’s a significant 1.2 GWh annualized rate."

I bought my TSLA at $17/share. I am chuckling all the way to the bank.
ZipCar is very useful in it's own regard. It's problem is that you need to pick it up and drop it off at the same location, and availability during peak hours.

Self driving car networks basically can solve that.

> The US has millions of economic and war-affected Mexican refugees.

This is false. According to the DHS, less than 1400 refugees have been granted asylum between fiscal years 2013 to 2015 (inclusive) [1].

> Same with Syria... should Germany, Turkey, Greece, etc. say "Syria is sovereign, nothing we can do" when their countries are being overrun?

Why not?

> The US should look to improve life in Mexico and reduce cartel power first through economic and peaceful political means, and then, PERHAPS and after much thought, bombing the shit out of every cartel leader on the same night, Godfather style. I'm only half kidding.

Doesn't seem like what the current administration is doing, though.

When it comes to famous books that are written in convoluted language (e.g. pretty much all of western philosophy) I usually will read a summary of the book first. I might follow that up with a few youtube videos for additional perspective. Then, if anything covered catches my interest and still needs clarification, I'll crack the book with a specific question in mind. Then I scan the index/search the document to pull up the relevant section and read it. While I'm reading I'll formulate additional questions and repeat the process.

Trying to read convoluted prose front to back without a specific goal, and without having a general idea of what the author is trying to say ahead of time is pretty much a recipe for fail.

On the other hand, I'll happily do a cover to cover on pop-sci book with tight prose that covers experimental findings in plain english.
Don't try to short Tesla! Shorting depends on the short-term trajectory of the stock after you borrow it, and Tesla's being bought like mad by people who've put their faith in St. Elon, so this is a great way to lose your money.

The likely long-term outcome is for Tesla to be bought out for a pittance (maybe $20-$30 a share? $10 would be surprisingly low, $50 surprisingly high), by a mature automaker interested in the marque; in the meantime, the way to make money off Tesla is to realize that all the people who are zealously pumping their money into Tesla are leaving everything else under-valued.

This reminded me that everything old is new again. We keep solving these problems, only to create new tooling that expose these problems in a new - and entirely uninteresting - way for us to solve once more.
Inexcusable may be strong - but I wish I could find the thread I was referring to.

Perhaps they were working on it for a long time, but they were actively defending their stance for years after many people were requesting this, and after many incidents of Play Store apps intentionally doing more than expected (uploading contact lists, tracking location, etc...).

As someone who has developed and published Android apps, it was super frustrating to spend half your app description justifying each and every permission used, and still getting negative reviews simply because you had to request some scary looking permission for the most mundane feature addition.
Are you saying they forged your signature?
One thing that helps me is to keep a pencil handy and act as if I am noting the book for myself or a friend. So I mark important parts, say "see also <other thing>" or write little summaries in the margins. This turns the reading into an active adventure and makes me feel more accomplished for reading. Also the next time I pick it up I can get a quick summary of what I read so far by going through my marked notes to get some momentum to read the new stuff!
Well, if they don't actually rent any apartments, they misled them and people spent money based on that lie. They paid for an application that would be accepted. How is that not fraud?

For a few years, I worked at a US government joint that abused the visa system to reduce its labor costs. The junior positions were staffed 100% by foreign workers who were being paid 25% to 50% of market rates.

The problem is that the US immigration system is rife with selective enforcement. Many rules are open to interpretation, and officers have full discretion as to how they interpret them. In this, the US is unique among nations that uphold the rule of law.
Right. What I said is generally true for Central Bank forecasts, because they have an effect on interest rates (which they set). But the expectation of change in interest rates changes lending and borrowing behavior now, etc.

That said, it's generally doable to do serious forecasts for a few months in advance, but the error bars explode after that.

If you're looking for other stable tech-sector companies (mostly supplying corporate infrastructure), FICO and PEGA are good examples; so is Microsoft, for that matter. But why look for them? (They're S&P 500 components with solid dividends, so maybe that's answer enough.)

60Hz on a CRT always looked bad too, it was a last resort. I could really see the flicker at 60Hz on my old Trinitron. 75 was pretty OK but it still looked smoother at 85 which is what I usually had it on. Above that I couldn't visually see any more improvement.
Exactly. This is blaming the vultures who pick at the carcasses for the predators who set the traps.
4. Go to your state legislature and try to get a bill passed.

What surprises me is that CoreLogic is not bound by the same terms that any other credit reporting bureau is. There is no way any business is going to just write you a letter stating that you currently owe no money, not without talking to a lawyer first, I'd hope.

If they want to impugn your credit with with this type of reporting, then it's their responsibility to ensure its accuracy.
