>what do you do when you need to walk a quarter mile in the mall?

Frequent breaks at benches or use of an assistive device. Before she stopped driving at all my grandmother could walk on her own, though very slowly. She probably could have walked from the far end of the parking lot but it was simply dangerous for her to do so. If she went to the mall she'd walk as much as she could and sit and rest, then continue on. Eventually she started using a walking before she lost most of her mobility.
Backend Engineer | $100k - $150k + equity | Solutions Architect | $90k - $110k + equity | Replicated | Los Angeles + SF | https://www.replicated.com

ShareLaTeX has support for "synchronising" to GitHub, though I'm not sure how that works. It's part of their paid subscription.

One other benefit of ShareLaTeX is that they are completely free [as in freedom] software (under the AGPL).
It's weird, and hate to be that guy, but is it significant that all of the people who did this appear to be Chinese?

Locally (Arlington, VA), the handicapped cannot park at meters for free. Back in the late 1990s, they started their "All may park. All must pay." campaign -- the point being to "remove the value of the handicapped placard." If you still have to pay to park, it does not help when you park at meters. There are some handicapped spots on the street with meters.
> If you remove everything from every human body except the skeleton, you'll find that the joints of every skeleton have very similar (nearly identical) range of motion.

The link I provided in my first post did exactly that and came to the opposite conclusion - that there are differences in range of motion due to skeletal configuration that are significant in at least some activities. It wouldn't be the first time that a fitness blogger was wrong, but the images are pretty compelling.

I'm making a much weaker claim than you are arguing against. I'm making the claim that there are differences between people, and that these differences matter to our range of motion. Pointing out that there are universal generalities between people is not relevant to the discussion. On the other hand, you are making an incredibly strong claim: that there are no noticeable differences. You have provided no support for your much stronger claim.

Everyone loves applying the term democracy but fails to look at the issues each nation faces.

The US didn't just become what it was over night. It faced very difficult issues at its birth especially with federal power. Luckily the right choices were made, but each case is going to have its own set of circumstances.
Maybe in the UK. But the solution is the opposite of what the author intends. Bubbles are created by government policies distorting the market, in the US it was subsidizing mortgages regardless of risk. Pouring more government aid into these markets will just increase the bubble.

I am very suspicious of the benchmarks that you pointed to. Maybe some users are reporting erroneous data?

Take a look at the Passmark list here:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php

The i5 scores in at 7995, and the i7 4960HQ is 9770. If you are really CPU bound, there are going to be some big advantages for the i7 here.

Of course, if performance is so bad on the Windows machine that it is nearly unusable, then there is probably something else causing the issue.

Configuring Proguard and Xamarin Android
Acqui-hiring was a trend long before YC. Companies have been buying startups because the founding team has expertise in a new technology that they want to get into since the MS-DOS days.

I also wouldn't say it's a bad idea, or that tech talent isn't extremely precious & limited. Rather, people with web programming expertise don't get acqui-hired anymore, because those skills have diffused through the population enough that you can get them easily on the open market. Companies will still pay lots of money for, say, deep learning or drone or self-driving car experts.
When you think about it, that's a horrible standard for hiring isn't it. Hiring someone who just follows the grain, does as they're told and doesn't complain despite the ridiculousness of the process. It seems to ensure that only the worst, least creative, most sheepish individuals will rise to the top. This could explain the slump modern society has found itself in.

Eve[1] is in the process of becoming a lot more real than it has been up to this point. We've found a great model and discovered a way to build a high performance implementation of it, which means much of the foundational research is finally in place. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be revamping our website, docs, etc to help people get started building real things with it. :)

There's going to be a lot of really exciting stuff coming over the next few months. We've gathered a set of ideas, evidence, and implementations that have certainly blown us away - we hope others will find it valuable too.

EDIT: I realized I didn't address your initial question. Fwiw, we just recently crossed a really big milestone in terms of usage - more than 40,000 people have now played around with Eve on http://play.witheve.com and we've learned a ton from that experience. Part of the website revamp will be making that workflow simpler and nicer. We have a surprisingly high conversion rate (> 30%), so hopefully we can help smooth out that experience and begin to grow the community more and more.

Agreed, Empty home tax is good. Also a additional tax for foreign resident owners & second home tax.

> It's worth noting that Adam Smith was imagining an economy in which most market actors were small proprietors

Is that a fair interpretation of Smith's work? The concept of economies of scale (dated back to Adam Smith) combined with laissez-faire approach advocated by Smith seems to imply a large corporate endeavor (Sears catalog, Wal-Mart, Costco, Amazon.com) would inevitably overpower any small-scale operation.

In Italy, where racketeering is very common in the South, we have special laws and protections to fight it - because proving it, it is not easy at all. You get threats that are implied and not explicit. If "something happens" you cannot automatically ascribe it to the former threat. It should be the role of an investigative agency to look into that and discover the high burden of proof, not of private citizens.
It can't be both per objective reality, but per history it can be both because it is subject to revision.

I see no evidence that Musk is doing anything other than working as hard as he can to bring innovation forward. If 1 in 10 business heads had his drive this century someone on Mars be commenting on this now.
This is amazing. Even as someone who has been vaguely around for a while (e.g. attended the first couple Startup School events), it's easy to forget that this is how it was. It really puts a lot of things in context.
Most of the disproofs here don't actually seem to disprove the demon's existence, just limit it's ability to answer trick questions.

"Suppose that there is a device that can predict the future. Ask that device what you will do in the evening. Without loss of generality, consider that there are only two options: (1) watch TV or (2) listen to the radio. After the device gives a response, for example, (1) watch TV, you instead listen to the radio on purpose. The device would, therefore, be wrong. No matter what the device says, we are free to choose the other option. This implies that Laplace’s demon cannot exist."

This doesn't prove that the demon can't exist, just that it can't answer the question. If it knows what you will do in any case of its response, and it knows what its response will be, it knows what you will do, generally. It just can't tell you what you are going to do. Sort of a difference between being omniscient versus being omnipotent.

In other words, the demon knows that its response will be X, and your actions will be Y, it's response just can't be truthful. It's all still perfectly deterministic.

Free will is just a convenient illusion based on the fact that predicting the universe faster than realtime would almost certainly require more resources than the universe contains. At best, we can limit our scope for imperfect predictions based on imperfect knowledge and limited processing ability. The universe is likely deterministic, but there's no way to act on that in a meaningful way, so for the purposes of human existence, we may as well act as if we have free will.
Most of the suggestions I found to make sense and be very reasonable.

The issue raised is reminiscent of how the number of people on disability dramatically rose during the financial crisis. And that's the sort of thing that's actually much worse because it's incredibly costly to society. But it's not just that one time period. As this link shows (http://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/) that correlation of disability with the employment rate is nothing new.

But back to the main point here - for purposes of disability parking, in nearly every case someone should be able to look to see if someone is actually disabled. Again, this is for the purposes of having that placard, nothing else. That's because the reason for having that placard is to make the distance walked shorter for those who really need it. It should be obvious to anyone looking if someone may be having a much tougher time walking than the average person. For those on disability for legitimate reasons but may not have trouble walking - guess what, they don't need the placard and can walk the extra 100 or 200 feet. What we're talking about here is something that should be visibly verifiable in the overwhelming majority of cases.
> There is simply no reason from an investors perspective to leave a home empty unless you can't find a renter who will cover their costs

Right now the four bed house next door to me in San Francisco is empty, and has been empty for the past three years - it's worth $4 million, and is owned by a family based in mainland China. On one occasion a representative of theirs stopped me in the street and asked if my home was for sale (fortunately for me my landlord decided it wasn't).

And when I lived in London I saw equally empty properties - new build flats worth millions of pounds completely deserted.

> A home lying empty has a negative return (due to maintenance and operating costs, still have to water lawns, repair weather damage, etc).

Not if the value of the home increases greater than the negative pressures...which it very much has been in many cities.

> A home being rented has a higher return. There is simply no reason from an investors perspective to leave a home empty unless you can't find a renter who will cover their costs

Tenants have their own problems. They have rights, homes are harder to liquidate with a tenant in, and you may decide it's just not worth the hassle. If you're expecting the property value to increase 50% over the next few years the income a tenant would be providing you is a relative pittance.
> I definitely don't analyze other paradigms technically. You should know me better than that. I'd rather all paradigms be analyzed based on how they are used to write programs and how they influence program designs. The technical details are just details.

The technical details define how programs are structured. I don't see how you can separate these questions if that's what you mean by "design".

> Again, it is how you design your programs: are you relying heavily on equational reasoning, or have you divided things into a bunch of nouns with behavior.

Sure, but this doesn't preclude immutable objects from being used in subprograms that don't depend on state transitions. For instance, object factories may or may not be immutable, but if they are, they're suddenly not objects anymore? That distinction seems pointless.

> They might indeed, but it is a vacuous statement to begin with.

I agree that many people might take virtually anything to be a message, but when you try to specify with technical precision what that phrase actually entails, you get meaningful constraints, and I think Cook did a pretty good job distilling those properties.

For instance, "the only way to interact with an object is to send messages" means that no information can be revealed than what the object volunteers, ie. encapsulation, and this voluntary disclosure can't be captured statically to enforce stronger properties as with ADTs.

All of those companies are subsidiaries of Donuts: http://www.donuts.domains/ There's a complete list of all their TLDs (and the silly LLC names associated with them) here: https://domaintyper.com/new-gTLD/applicant/Donuts

I'm not sure why they formed LLCs for every domain they registered. IANA has lots of regulations and paperwork, and everything is really expensive and slow (it takes years to get a TLD registered). I'd imagine having every domain tied to its own LLC might make things easier (i.e. they can sell their TLDs by just selling the LLC, for example).
Root | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite |

https://joinroot.com

Root is an auto insurance company, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result.

We're a startup — we're 25 people who have been working on this for 2 years. We've built iOS and Android apps that gather data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We've raised $7M, and we're looking to bring on a couple more talented engineers. Tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native. Email us at jobs@joinroot.com
I worked software developer for a securitized products prop trading desk at a bank during the up to and during the crisis. Paulson was not the only short.

In particular the two guys who I worked for traded subprime mortgages, and they were net short for two years leading up to the crisis. The first got out of his position as soon as he could take a decent profit. As soon as he got paid that year he quit (and I believe left the industry), his parting words were to the effect of "Being told your wrong and you don't know what your doing every week for two years takes its toll. I'm out." The other guy is more interesting. He was very model driven, and kept his trades on longer. Eventually though he began to distrust his model. His models pointed to the market going much much lower, and he didn't think that was possible. His gut told him that his model had become detached from reality, so he took his profit, and put on a much more conservative trade. Turns out his model was right and his gut was wrong.

This was a prop trading desk for a bank, not a hedge fund. In the end, none of it mattered. These two guys showed profits on the order of hundreds of millions, while the bank overall lost on the order of tens of billions, so kind of a drop in the bucket.

"ZIP codes were arbitrarily delineated and covered a range of neighborhood types; in most small and midsized cities, one ZIP code can cover urban, suburban and rural neighborhoods with highly variable socioeconomic characteristics."

My own ZIP code is a perfect example of this. We're in the ZIP code of Town A, but Town B is actually the closest incorporated town to us. The Town A ZIP code extends between the state line and a river, up the eastern edge of our county. That covers our large development, which has people from very poor to very wealthy, four smallish unincorporated communities that are mostly poor-to-median, an incorporated town of about 1,000 bordering Town A, and the actual Town A which is a National Historical Park and consequently is mostly shops and museums catering to tourists and actually has very few residents (about 300 out of about 13000 that live in the ZIP code).
