I don't fully agree with this argument. Yes, an advantage of focusing on problems that matter you is that you understand them the best and that it's probably more fun.

But on average, it'll be something that a bunch of other people tried or are trying to solve, so there will be more competition. A typical example is that most start-ups seem to focus on the end consumer despite the fact (well, assumption) that there's more opportunity in focusing on problems that companies have.

I think there's a lot of value of tackling non-IT problems with SV/startup/tech way of thinking. SpaceX might be an example of that - iterative development, openness, company culture, etc.
It wasn't going to be so much that, as a card that you could put multiple credit cards on, but that still functioned entirely like a credit card - meaning it could be swiped in vending machines, by waitresses, and everywhere that accepts cards, without the need for an apple pay or google pay or whatever NFC payment hardware.

It's for people that keep multiple cards in their wallet.
While there were communities with large and working social graphs like ICQ, AIM, Myspace, etc., Facebook had a more committed approach emphasizing real identities rather than pseudonyms.

Being first to market with an accurate social graph consisting of real-life identities is what gave Facebook its advantage.
I try to avoid using Skype if I can, it feels unloved, like it's barely hanging together.
I have my Facebook settings configured so I have to approve tags, and honestly I'd prefer people not post photos of me or comments like "had a great time with Steve!" without asking.

Most of the time it's fine, but sometimes the fact that someone's in a certain place with certain people, or not in another place with other people, is a sensitive issue. Sometimes it can even become a sensitive issue later on (imagine being tagged in a wedding reception five years ago, standing next to a then-unknown Martin Shkreli).
Great comment Kord! kudos
This is the correct answer. I get prompted every day.
Or just stop using Microsoft products? It's been pretty clear to me since about 1985 that other companies make equivalent products that tend to be more powerful and more pleasant to use. Your time and mental state are valuable!
Wide areas near there built on the former marshes/landfill can be quite musky during hot months as well depending upon prevailing winds, it's not obvious that is a problem unless one lives in an apartment nearby in the right weather conditions beforehand - many of the apartments don't have central air or heat.
Great, and now let me add my kids and have some parental control features based on their voice recognition ;-)
Well yeah. This is the "natural" monopoly that Friedman referred to (and dismissed). From the Mother of All Wikis:

"Natural monopolies arise where the largest supplier in an industry, often the first supplier in a market, has an overwhelming cost advantage over other actual or potential competitors; this tends to be the case in industries where fixed costs predominate, creating economies of scale that are large in relation to the size of the market, as is the case in water and electricity services. The fixed cost of constructing a competing transmission network is so high, and the marginal cost of transmission for the incumbent so low, that it effectively bars potential competitors from the monopolist's market, acting as an early insurmountable barrier to entry into the market place."

There's a good argument to be made here they all software sub-markets are natural monopolies.
Somebody get these two a map.
> if it's this embarrassingly parallel, wouldn't this be a workload more suited for calculation on a GPU?

Maybe, but one does not necessarily follow from the other. Consider the task of compiling 1 million separate C++ projects. That is obviously embarrassingly parallel, but not well suited for a GPU. It's trivial to do many compilations at once, but compiling itself is not easy to parallelize.

That example is obviously contrived, but I think it demonstrates the principle that it's the computational profile of the core problem that will determine if you can use a GPU. If the core problem requires 10s of GB of RAM, or it's excessively branchy code, it may not be well suited for a GPU.
Dan Kahan, who is one of the people mentioned in this article, has a blog (http://www.culturalcognition.net/blog/), which goes into more depth on this.
I think it's a combination of moving one of the most active repositories on github, opening a very high-profile pull request, and having that pull request linked from the #1 story on Hacker News.
I think the point here is that the source data might be mutated, without you touching the deserialized struct. Rust prevents that from becoming a problem.
To clear up the confusion: Google has that UI, but it's legacy. They no longer allow you get your account into that state; new G Suite accounts and personal Google Accounts can't use the same address.

Moby is not a replacement for Docker. It's a new upstream project for developing and assembling Docker.

If you're a Docker user, nothing changes for you. Docker Hub and Docker Store are also unaffected.
This answer is profoundly unsatisfying.

It sounds like the argument is that IPv4 addresses are useful to ISPs and cloud providers, therefore they must be useful to MIT. Somehow. The question of why IPv4 addresses would be useful to MIT is completely dodged.

I am also reading the comment about what universities should be doing and it sounds contradictory. You say the job of a university is to "educate certain people", but then complain that some universities are "just educational and research facilities". It feels like complaining that a bakery is "merely a provider of baked goods".

Education and research are part of the university's mission. Making the world a better place isn't the mission, it's the desired outcome of education and research. So giving grants to students so they can attend classes furthers the university's mission, and giving grants to faculty so they can do research furthers the university's mission, but providing IPv4 addresses to some vague hypothetical project is not part of MIT's mission.
It's not just annoying, this can cause authentication to be broken in subtle ways.
Phasing out Federally subsidized flood insurance would be a start. Giving people an incentive to NOT buy in a flood plane or likely disaster zone seems like a good idea.

The only downside (according to the article) is that coastal cities would start to lose tax revenue. But, that problem seems much better than tons of people living on the coast that will eventually be consumed.
Ever heard of ctags bud?
"Twitter's stock price will sink if they don't continue a hyperbolic growth path."

That's correct because their valuation is currently based on future growth. If their growth just stops and let's say they barely add (and let's say they even keep) users, what would the value of the company then be? Certainly a lot less than the currently traded value.

I mean, it could just be a clever allusion to a mall. And spotting a trend and jumping on to monitize is pretty straightforward. He just never found a way to ease the friction, and google pay remains a reletive novelty here. Compare that to china, and you may realize there is, still, an great untapped market for such a service. The failure was not the stupid SV thinking, but inability to execute successfully. Given that Apple, Google, and others have tried similar, it is no huge failure imho.
Interestingly, from a competitor's web site:

"With the acquisition of Coin by Fitbit, all business operations ceased on June 13, 2016. The company is no longer manufacturing, promoting, or selling any new devices or products."

I think that just leaves Swyp (which isn't launch yet) and Stratos.

It is my understanding that V8 provides you with the capability to interpret your code and run it, while gcc produces a resulting binary which be run independently of gcc.

Can V8 be used to compile js to a artifact/binary which can later be executed independently of V8? If no, then it's not a compiler. It's as simple as that.

Would be great to see this functionality in the rest of google's products, but I'm not optimistic. I'd love to seperate my kids' youtube and app usage from my own on my Android TV. Why is feature parity, or hell, even coordinated product direction, between platforms so difficult for google? Look at Google Home, Chromecast, Android and Android TV - They work together so poorly you'd think they were made by competing companies.

It meant the lender was more willing to lend. The lender could make a business of lending if he charged interest, and not if he did not.

Yeah I had to basically set up new Ebay and paypal accounts, which is a pain, because you go from having 100's on good reviews as a buyer and seller to having none. It's a hard problem, in some a ways a universal internet ID would make life so much easier, but it would also make tyranny much easier.
What bothers me about these articles is that they lay out all these reasons for why a place will be great, or is a great place to start a company, but then why -- in spite of these assets -- does that place not produce like Silicon Valley?

I am not saying Toronto is not a great city to live and work and start a business.

But if it has all these things going for it, why isn't it producing startup value per capita like SV? Doesn't this show that these things are not enough for a startup scene? Or, to put it another way, having startups is not essential for a great city.

Programming Considered as a Human Activity, Edsger Dijkstra (1965)
Facebook's "news feed" (or whatever they're calling it, now) is one giant funnel towards the lowest common denominator.

The only parameter you control over this, is your social network. But that's a pretty imprecise control frequently at least somewhat orthogonal to your interests. And in the last few months, I'm seeing more "promoted" content that none of my friends are specifically posting.

Giant funnel. Lowest common denominator.

I keep my network pretty small and limited to "real friends." I see enough of their posts to keep coming back; it leaves me at least a little in touch with their daily lives.

But I find myself increasingly motivated, if not compelled, to stay away from FB.

Giant funnel. Lowest common denominator.

McDonald's business model of renting premises to their franchisees sounds similar to the way many pubs are operated in the UK.

Back in the days MS used to allow you to create a "Microsoft Account" (MSA) using any email, including an email that's already associated with Azure Active Directory (AAD work or school account).

This was a mistake and has been patched. But it looks like an MSA was created using the same email as your AAD before the fix.

Thus, from MS's perspective, there are two distinct accounts under the same email, hence the UX. It's really quite a mess, and yes the situation is weird. We're working on it make it better.

Not a single industry per se, but a major social problem offering potentially multiple business opportunities:

Homelessness is on the rise nationwide in part due to a serious lack of genuinely affordable housing. Among other things, in the 1960s and 70s, we tore down a lot of SROs. The Baby Boom generation was an anomaly. The unprecedented wealth of their parents was due to WW2. Yet, expectations from that era still shape housing policy and infrastructure, much to our detriment.

You do not necessarily need to be a construction company to play a role in addressing this issue. Another very serious problem is the lack of financing mechanisms for housing alternatives. For example, co-housing projects in the US tend to be self financed because we do not have financial products that fit them. This actively undermines their ability to add affordable housing to the system, a purpose they successfully serve in other countries, from what I have read.

There are, no doubt, many other things one could do to work on this issue.

I've always wondered about that simply from the hurricane risk. It seems the hazards of the coastal areas are subsidized by the rest of us. Even in this article we find this atrocity:

"The effects of climate-driven price drops could ripple across the economy, and eventually force the federal government to decide what is owed to people whose home values are ruined by climate change."

Nothing is owed to these people. The sea has always been a hazard. Ocean levels have always fluctuated. That doesn't change just because someone spends a bucket of money to build a house there.
You can do some crazy things by overriding the same method in multiple parent classes, and it is all well defined by the MRO. But I tend to avoid complex class hierarchies because things can get convoluted.

>> I think he is right that its the banks who will start the decline by no longer issuing mortgages, starting with long term mortgages. We've already seen it happen in cities that don't have coastal flooding like Detroit.

Nope. The banks don't care about the risk so long as you have insurance. They will continue to have insurance as long as we continue to subsidize them.
This is a very good point. At my last company, my title was Staff Software Engineer. However, because of my seniority, by design, I was expected to spend only about 20% of the time actually producing code. The rest of the time was expected to be mentoring others, doing code and design reviews, writing documentation, collaborating with other departments, etc.

The end result was that the more responsibility I had, the less code I wrote.
I used PhotoScan (iOS) to scan about 20 photos, and it worked surprisingly well. The quality was great, no clipping or unexpected cropping. Really impressed.

If you're not paying Docker for Docker you're not a user they care about confusing. By building a large community and Google footprint for "Docker" you've served your purpose to the company. Now you can go and play in the corner with your Moby. Just don't call it "Docker" anymore because they own that trademark.

But they're certainly doing a lot with the product this year. It starts with cashing in the open source goodwill and rerouting the eyeballs to their enterprise offerings.
Alberta used to be the best province regarding the behaviour of government, and this was one of the great things. The provincial taxes are fairly low, and until the most recent regime change none of the cities had municipal debt.

"Just another server to backup" is, indeed, not a big deal. It's strictly more work than not having another server to backup, however, and when it fails, it fails hard--in the sense of, "Hey, I just blew Saturday fixing my personal git server" or "Hey, I just lost data because I realized my backup cron was broken."

Running your own server is a bug, not a feature. The fact is, it's a very _minor_ bug because running your own is so damn easy. But it's still a bug. (The fact that you can run your own server, in the contrary, is a feature.)
There are countless passages in the original series where people recoil in horror at even the slightest thought of things like computers and artificial insemination.

Also, when signing up the Google system will not allow you to use the same email (if it's registered) but once you "take over" or verify domain ownership, you can then claim / use that address - which I believe creates this situation.

Speaking terms of carbon flows, the Amazon as a whole only absorbs two or three times the carbon emissions as the UK.

However it's approaching saturation anyway--it can't absorb an infinite amount of carbon.

In terms of absolute numbers, the total carbon locked up in the Amazon is definitely large, but I'd guess it's at least an order of magnitude less than human carbon emissions since the start of industrialization. Trying to figure out how to get the exact figure.

I'll try to apply it.

As for "changing the frame, instead of repeating what you're trying to refute", I noticed that's something that Trump applied effectively. E.g. when he came up with the wall idea, people started pointing out the many reasons why it was a bad idea. One of those reasons was cost, and he came up with "Mexico's gonna pay for it", which is even more egregious than the wall itself. So people changed the focus to that, and whether the wall itself was immoral, or ineffective, wasn't discussed further. "Who's going to pay for the wall?" was a good frame for Trump, because it takes for granted that the wall's desirable.
