Impressive camera for sure but something missing in a couple articles I've seen on this is glossing over the fact that Nikon/Canon have a huge library of lenses.

With photography it's largely the lens that drives the photo(which makes sense when you think of photographing in terms of painting with light). Until you see Sony breaking out the 300mm F2.8, 400mm F2.8, 600mm F4 and others you won't see much pick-up on the segment they're targeting(1DX, etc). For instance a 400mm F2.8 goes for 2x the cost of this camera alone(~$10k).

There's adapters for EF->Sony, however they're hit and miss on functionality and focusing speed.
ha! Indeed I thought the same at first but then got excited anyway when I understood what it does.
I met Carlos about 15 years ago while I was in school. He helped me with a project I was working on. Very helpful and friendly guy!

I also remember going to lunch with him as he was building Corona. His passion was contagious.

We hadn't talked for a while and this is the first time I'm hearing about him. Very sad. RIP Carlos.
Being another person giving you advice may be irritating, but on the off-chance it helps, in my area (Northeast USA) there are places where people who need help "living" can do just that. They get a room, food, help with transportation, and "recovery" (life) planning assistance, and it is "free" (their Medicare/Medicaid). They are free to get jobs, and some do, either at partner facilities where they do small repetitive tasks, or in a traditional job in the community.

The #1 challenge is quality - as a parent, you'd have to be and stay involved, as even within a single organization, the quality of each "house" can vary really significantly based on the people who work there, and further, can drift over time as the staff evolves.

Anyway, here's to you; parenting is never easy.

Yes, it's not even that simple. It's about having enough skin on the game.

No big fund manager has enough skin on the game. That has been true for most of last century and all of the current one, and the expected results are visibly there.
I don't disagree with the type of local content (crime, politics, sports) you describe. But that's only a small part of what people are interested in. Though the writing is sometimes sensationalist and click-baity, DNAinfo is eating the Trib's lunch for local engaging content. The number of links to DNA in my fb or twitter feed vastly outnumber Trib ones because friends share/click articles about their city or neighborhood -- that go well beyond only the crime/politics/sports staples.

You're right in that I did miss the point of the article, but not entirely. The fb engagement on what the Trib seems to cover (national/international focus) has likely decreased because of Trump, while resulting in more clicks on WaPo/NYT. While it's likely fb changed their algorithm, content also makes a big difference in what gets surfaced. And I think the original article ignored the role that it may have played.

It sucks that journalism and livelihoods can suffer because of a monolithic walled garden, but there is probably more to the story.
It's important to note that there's a difference between "handling data immutably" and "using the Immutable.js library". It's completely possible to handle plain JS data immutably _without_ using Immutable.js.

There's a few different reasons why handling data immutably in a React app is a good thing. The main one is that it allows straightforward implementation of `shouldComponentUpdate` by simply doing shallow equality checks against props and state to see if anything has changed. (I wrote a Reddit comment yesterday explaining why that works well, at https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/666uin/can_someone... ).

As I grow older, one thing I value more and more from friends is their opinions​, knowing what they care about and perspectives they have to share.

I don't think I was alone in spending too much time on Facebook thinking I was connecting to my "friends" talking about important things. Facebook seems to have intentionally or unintentionally stifled that, so I left.

If you view it as a "vapid" place to share, and do important talking elsewhere I think that makes sense, I find it hard to separate those though, and think many do.
On a related note, here's a blog post with suggestions of jobs a person can do without a degree: Part I,
http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/07/25/50-jobs-over-50000...
and part II, which includes some more "manual labor" type jobs:
http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/08/05/50-jobs-over-50000...

Many require some sort of apprenticeship. The post is on the Mr. Money Mustache website, which is site dedicated to helping people lead happier lives that are less dependent on having lots of money and lots of "things". This idea runs pretty much against everything in a capitalist society, where consumption is encouraged and status is largely based on how much money you have. But you can live a good life with much less if you work to rid yourself of some of the harmful ideas that become ingrained in us as we grow up and live in this sort of society.

LOL - Reddit has been caught literally editing the content. They then play the "community powered" card when in reality the mods are groomed and selected for major sub-reddits.

The level of total control is the same - the mechanisms are different. Nothing else.
The skilled trades are shrinking though in major urban centers, and your average plumber or electrician isn't unionized. That being said, restricted supply is good for those who are skilled today as they will earn more!
I kind of wish stores would just sell pre-cut vegetables. There HAS to be a way to do this en masse. The pre-cut kale at whole foods is almost ALWAYS sold out. Not to speak of the cauliflower "rice" that people actually battle over at Trader Joes.

If stores stocked these kinds of pre-cut veg, that would take 3/4 of the pain out of cooking.
I believe this happens for a few reasons.

* A lot of software developers don't apply to enough positions. A number of developers who talk with me and complain about the interview process don't apply and get enough interviews to be picky about the interviews they are accepting. Companies play on this fact very well. They know developers get their heart set on only a few jobs and so make them jump through hoops to get the position. Try applying to 10 developer positions a day. Seriously. It's fun and refreshing.

* Software developers don't market themselves well enough. I honestly don't even have a resume available. When people ask for one I say, "I don't have a resume nor do I need one." They will then say one of two things. A) "Fine, we're not interested in you." Great! I didn't apply with you anyway and frankly don't have time to jump through your hoops. B) "Oh that's not a problem can we just chat with you for a bit? I know you spoke at Conference A, B, and C, and we saw you at MeetUp X, Y, and Z. You're good friends with our Senior Ops person. We don't need a resume." Fantastic. My marketing is working out well. By the way, when they bring me in to have a chat and say "We'd like you to write out a red-black tree on the board in your favorite language, please. Oh and answer a bunch of random Big O notation questions." The answer is: No. Remember how you heard me speak at those conferences? Remember how I did a live coding and pairing session at that MeetUp? I think we can assume I know how to code. And if we can't, that's fine.

* Finally, have confidence. Honestly, most interviewers aren't confident in how to hire or what to hire. So, be confident for them. 50% of the time when I say I will not answer your asinine questions, more interviews stop and say, "Oh, well excellent, let me just talk to you about our problems." Which is where most interviews need to go.

So, you ask, how could we fix this? Fix it for yourself, individually. You aren't going to fix the industry. You aren't going to fix how bad people are at judging others work in a short period of time. But you can make your own situation substantially better.
Elsewhere, driving into a wrong area might cost you your life. Specifically not referring to particular areas to avoid offtopic flame war, but other apps would alert you about it - but not Google Maps.

It's a shame that the party that's in favor of subsidizing education didn't do better in the election. Education decreases fear and prejudice, so there's a catch-22 where we can't get people more educated and fix that without convincing them first that the problem isn't immigrants seizing a large amount of resources in a zero-sum game.

Ok, this is DEFINITELY NOT cool (+ the fact I own those and I have the app installed).

One small note of optimism (but not coming from Bose) is this: http://imgur.com/a/ezLUi (i.e. the iOS on/off setting for Background App Refresh - I have it globally off for the whole device, always). So I don't think once the app is not running that there's an easy/Apple approved way for them to keep running to app to transmit data, etc.

What was the hold up?

Canada seems to pro-startup, I am surprised they took this long to allow AngelList funding.

Was there a lobby? An issue with consumer protection? An existing law that had to be changed?
People raising issue about minimum wage not being high enough don't realize this but the end-effect is that H-1Bs will just fill the low end of the spectrum because the visa itself is on the table no matter what. And maybe that's okay with some, but do realize what effect this is having in the market pool. Americans who are being paid near the minimum wage will most surely be affected.

Anarcho-Communism is not an oxymoron; Communism is by definition a stateless and indeed classless society, as described by Marx and Engels.
You're sort of proving his point.

Which brings up another issue: manual jobs involve non-trivial amounts of physical risk. Not only does getting injured negativly affect your life you will always do better working than on disability. And I agree that it's possible for some people to own a business or or do office work, but not everyone who is a plumber today will be able to do that. There are fewer owners than workers.

I don't think we should discourage trades, but we can't sugar coat them either. I used to work as a mechanic and never met one that was 65 (the SS retirement age). The safety nets in place are optimized for people who work office jobs, not manual jobs.

Go to URL chrome://flags in a new tab
Search for the ‘Enable tab audio muting UI control’ flag
Hit the ‘Enable’ link
Relaunch Chrome when prompted (on Chrome OS a full restart is required)

Now you can click the little speaker that appears next to the tab's close button when a tab is playing sound to stop that tab from playing audio.

How to gain a solid understanding of JVM?
I see a lot of job postings that require - "Solid understanding of JVM"
I believe most of these can be achieved while a person is working on some real challenging projects as part of day job.

However, for individuals trying to change stacks (going from non-jvm to jvm technologies), how can they learn and demonstrate the expertise?

I am looking to learn new approaches.

I am interested in gaining an understanding on how to see things differently while starting to work on a JVM stack.

Any advice?

My gut feel is that the 30% number is about right. I was offered a remote work position a year ago. I asked two software engineer friends who worked from home how much value they would assign to it. Both of them gave the same number, $30k, which is a little less than 30% but definitely in the ballpark.
So you're a thief. Got it.
I posted to my twitter/medium but will copy here:

I wish I knew that I could start saving and investing the money I was already earning — and retire while still young. Your odds of success as an entrepreneur are basically zero. (I know some of you are going to do the startup or nights/weekends project anyway and I wish you the best of luck.)

If I knew this I could probably have shaved years off of my FI date.

Impressive hardware indeed, but price is prohibitive (at least for me!) right now: usd4500
That's fine, but it doesn't really address my point.

To put it in different terms... imagine a city has 1 million jobs that pay a livable wage, and you increase the city's working age population by 2 million. Even if cities are more efficient at creating new opportunities than rural areas, that does nothing to address the shortfall in the job market in the short to medium term. Also, rapidly increasing the population size of a city tends to push up the price of accommodation faster than an increase in wages, which reduces the pool of available livable wage jobs.

In short, rapidly increasing the population size of a city without the job market already set to support it isn't likely to lead to economic stability.
DSLRs with mirror mechanisms are now officially a technological dead-end.

This new camera does things that are not possible with DSLR bodies, including SILENT 20FPS shooting, WITHOUT BLACKOUT, WITHOUT DISTORTION FROM ROLLING SHUTTER, and with SHUTTER SPEED UP TO 1/32000 -- very impressive. Sports and other pro photographers that need high-end performance will take notice.

Mirrorless cameras are now clearly the future of pro photography. Canon and Nikon should be very worried.

>My understanding is that Vanguard's expense ratio is the best

Not true.

http://www.investors.com/etfs-and-funds/look-whos-got-the-lo...

>The $96.4 billion Fidelity 500 Index Fund (FUSEX), which tracks the S&P 500 Index, will drop its annual expense ratio by 0.5 basis point. The gross fee is now 0.10%, with a current net fee of 0.095% due to fee waivers. That will fall to 0.09% on July 1. In comparison, $45 billion Vanguard 500 Index Fund (VFINX) has an expense ratio of 0.16%

https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/investing/vanguard-vs-fideli...

Fidelity also offer iShares ETFs (also low expense funds) as well as their own low expense ETFs commission free.

I can't comment on Schwab because I don't use them but from what I hear they have very similar offerings for low cost mutual funds and ETFs.

There was also just a commission price war a month or so ago initiated by Fidelity and as a result most brokerages dropped their commission significantly.

From what I understand Vanguard offers more services if you have a profolio over $1 million.

I'm very happy with Fidelity. I only purchase low cost index ETFs through them. You're going to pay more if you want active managed funds, but that's not the topic of discussion.

Even if you don't use their brokerage services you should use either Fidelity or Schwab's checking account. Really, a no brainer, banks don't offer anything even close to as good.

It's very competitive market nowadays and as another commenter pointed out, Fidelity has a much better website.

EDIT: What I meant by "their brokerage accounts are all very, very similar" I really mean "their brokerage account offerings are all very, very similar in price for someone interested in investing in low expense ratio index funds."

If you are a programmer flying in from Rumenia 3 times a year for some face time, you are subject to Rumenian tax rules, which say that programmers do not pay income tax: http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-land-where-skilled-it-worke...

In fact, you do not even need to live in Rumenia to use this clause. All you need to do, is to set up a Rumenian company that invoices your employer and then pays you your salary, free of tax.

This is just one of the gazillion ways in which as a programmer, you can avoid paying even one dollar in income tax.

I have personally paid the equivalent of less than 12 months worth of income tax in a career of 25+ years.

Seriously, there is never a good reason to pay it. You can always circumvent any attempt at making you pay. That is pretty much always trivial.

'He said the company is a “platform” for a new model of food delivery, where fresh fruits and veggies are delivered regularly to the home'

The article doesn't support its conclusion that drug addiction is caused by people's dim prospects. The man in this article was already an addict before he was old enough to have any perspective on his future potential.

I think the deeper problem is that kids are not inspired to gain their own ambitions. So many people walk through life with no ambitions beyond what they plan on doing next weekend.

I think a huge issue is the way material is taught in school tends towards hero worship. Scientists, authors, are all looked at as mythical creatures who achieved things that mortal man cannot. It makes us all feel as though the best we can ever achieve is being a cog in a wheel. It took me many years after school to realize that something as simple as starting your own business was actually achievable (by me!) and not something relegated for those who had been born of a higher caste, or of some superior skills.

>Automation can either allow everyone to do whatever they want with almost unlimited leisure

This will literally never happen. The labor force will look a lot different, the average person will be much more educated. But we are never going to be in a perpetual state of leisure, or anything resembling it, lest we want to halt human progress in place. All automation does is allow us to focus on larger problems, or create new ones.
I found Papers, Please to be a really fascinating game. I've been on a indie binge lately (Firewatch is another recent favorite) and I felt Papers, Please had a really great story that a lot of indie games are missing. Plenty of options and tough choices to make, with different outcomes for everything.

I also appreciated that I could walk away at any point and pick it up later. I didn't feel "trapped" having to finish a mission like too many AAA games. Well worth the ten bucks in my opinion.
> Facebook’s algorithm isn’t surfacing one-third of Chicago Tribune’s posts

Of course. That's the whole premise of the FB Newsfeed. It started in late 2011 - up to that point the news stream was in chronological order and you saw all posts (depending on your geographic the feature was enabled maybe on a different date). Then the newsfeed showed what FB algorithms provided you depending on your click-, browsing-, friend- and like-history. It's called a filter-bubble, you suddenly see just mote of the same, no variation. It marked the tipping point of FB as social network tool (at least for me).
