I believe Amazon does co-signing when you buy "sold from Amazon". Are you sure they also do so when sold directly through supplier , and not under prime ?

I am also at a WeWork location, but I find that the noise outside of our room is hardly noticed. That being said, I agree about the clear glass, I wish more of the glass was frosted.
But when people are talking about coin flipping, they are talking about real profit, not trade PnL. If your overhead to get into a trade is more expensive than the PnL on that trade, your consistent ability to make that trade is not a good thing, and that negative should be counted against your win rate wrt things like the efficient market hypothesis.

Again, I actually don't have strong opinions about coin flipping and trading being equivalent (and I think Virtu is likely a bad place to have that conversation vs a hedge fund because its not really an investment firm its an execution one) but I think claiming trading PnL refutes it is wrong.
Perhaps off-topic (but that's kind of the point I'm getting at): The image and caption displayed alongside the article doesn't appear to have anything directly to do with the article, does it? Here's the caption:

> The application icons of Facebook, Twitter, and Google are displayed on an iPhone next to an earphone set in this illustration photo taken in Berlin, June 17, 2013. *

I've read the article twice. I can tangentially see the use of a general tech photo as the article talks about tech companies being targeted by patent trolls. If that were the case, however, I would expect the caption to tie the two together, something like "Patent trolls often file suit against tech companies such as Apple, Google, Twitter, and Facebook in sympathetic jurisdictions." Including the earphone set just makes it even more weird.

* Another meta tidbit: The caption is part of the image in the mobile version. The web version (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-kraft-heinz-idUS...) has the caption as text.
You mean a banana republic?
I assume good faith on the part of Bjorn Lomborg. I also assume good faith on the part of the parent. I am trying to point out that well informed, well intentioned people can disagree without being intellectually dishonest.

Also Occam's razor really doesn't apply:
a) Bjorn Lomborg makes arguments in good faith and the parent is wrong
b) Bjorn Lomborg makes arguments in bad faith and the parent is right

To my eye, a & b are equivalently parsimonious in their assumptions.

> 99% of people had headphones on through all parts of the day.

Yes I've found that to be true as well. I myself typically wear expensive noise cancelling headphones all day and blast music, damaging my hearing, in order to drown out distractions. Fuck open offices.
Helpful site, but all these headers will slow down a site that doesn't need them. Too bad they aren't defaults. Hopefully http2 mitigates that enough.

True, though IBM may now have spent too long coasting by in mediocrity...
I purchase almost exclusively Anker. When my cheap Bluetooth headphones had a hard time connecting to my phone they just sent me a more expensive pair. I have their cords, wall charger, battery pack, headphones, outdoor speaker, and indoor speaker. All work well and when they stopped or seemed to function inadequately they just sent a new or updated version.

I can't recommend them enough.
But never actually collapses.

Bought a Lightning Powerline+ cable 4 months ago. While Apple's Lightning can feel a little premium, Anker's kick their ass. It has a nice thingy to carry it and I know it won't break in the foreseeable future, different from the 5+ Apple cables I already broke in some 3 years. Also, their power banks are really good as well.
Sounds great, but it seems like something Newegg or Costco's lawyers would have started on already if it were feasible.

FTA:"patent infringement suits can be filed only in courts located in the jurisdiction where the targeted company is incorporated"

Hello patent lawsuits in Delaware instead of east Texas!
More importantly, "transposons" (endogenous retro-viruses) spray damage all over a normal human cell's DNA about once a month. The damage would be cumulative.

Gamete cells have special mechanisms to control transposon activity that skin cells lack. The child won't be getting a clean genome.

>Delaware, being the hub of all sorts of business litigation, sees things at a more abstract level. You're less likely to get a judge or jury in Delaware that comes in with a particular preconceived notion of X or Y being bad.

There are also some problems which come from so much being litigated in Delaware. I have been working with a bankruptcy attorney looking at venue laws which run into similar issues as patents. As many patent lawsuits have been filed in Eastern Texas, many bankruptcies are filed in Delaware even if there is no functional basis for the company there outside of the state of incorporation.

By running everything through Delaware, you're often taking the chance of reasonable representation away away from defendants (or creditors in the case of bankruptcy). If a company who only has facilities in Iowa goes belly up, there are likely dozens of companies who they owe money to, many of which are in the surrounding communities. Now the hundreds of farmers who are owed money have to fly to Wilmington Delaware if they want any chance of representation.

Delaware Bar will require that a local attorney introduce whatever attorney from Iowa was hired to represent the farmers (if the Iowa attorney is competent, the Delaware attorney is literally introducing them and reviewing some documents before submission). Local council adds another expense for small businesses on the short end of a bankruptcy.

The geographic difference adds significant expense in terms of travel. The VeraSun grain elevator case had a company headquartered in South Dakota with no operations east of Indiana and they filed in Delaware. There are other cases with even larger geographic differences out of California and Hawaii.

Marsh supermarkets is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana and recently filed for bankruptcy in Delaware. They have thousands of employees, but only about 250 are salaried, the rest are hourly, largely store employees. Many of them are owed money from working their normal shifts. It will be very hard for the employees to feel like they had a chance at getting fair representation if they have to go to Delaware to see court proceeding happening. It could just as well have been held in Indianapolis with local attorneys representing hourly employees at a more reasonable total expense.

Finally, a disproportionate amount of power in deciding bankruptcy or patent cases should not lay in the hands of a few judges. We've already seen what happens when a single judge has vastly different views on a given topic than pretty much anyone else with the mess of patent trolls in Eastern Texas. That one judge cost companies hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in cases which would have seen a different result if heard by a variety of judges from across the country. By running everything through Delaware, the concept of various opinions from across the nation being debated through many cases and going to appeals where needed goes out the window. A handful of judges in Delaware will decide what happens in the nations most significant bankruptcy and patent cases.
So The Guardian puts this article up just as May's government is promising to tighten government restrictions on social media. That was convenient.

How a terminally ill mother came to a fatal decision for her mentally ill son
I agree with you.

While it is true Amazon does negotiate very good deals for themselves, they have been moving more and more into UPS/FedEx's business of shipping logistics and delivery. If these shipping companies want to survive they need to find a way to support Amazon's competitors.
>The justices sided 8-0 with beverage flavoring company TC Heartland LLC in its legal battle with food and beverage company Kraft Heinz Co, ruling that patent infringement suits can be filed only in courts located in the jurisdiction where the targeted company is incorporated.

This no-name company probably just saved the tech industry from its own greed and short-sightedness. I imagine most lawsuits will happen in Delaware where it might be harder to find a radicalized pro-IP jury like they have in that East Texas district which has bizarrely turned itself into something of a cottage industry based on fees and fines patent abusers pay. Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours it seems.

Perhaps regular verdicts of hundred(s) of millions of dollar settlements over trivial patents are behind us. Some sanity in patents would be a welcome change.
Ultimately, each team has its own optimal cadence that oscillates between face-to-face and secluded concentration.

Open space implies that cadence is "daily", but for workers who create intellectual property, that cadence is more realistically every 5-10 days.

The need for in-person "check and balance" varies with experience. I work with remote teams of Sr Engineers that meet in-person 1-2 times per year. Minimal communication issues.

But if apprentice-level Engineers are being groomed, then the frequency of in-person meetings needs to be daily/weekly/monthly.
No book had made me more uncomfortable or challenged my views more in a long while. It has been described as literary hand grenade. That description is indeed spot on. It should be a civic duty of every European to read it.
C2go v0.12.0 – now supports dynamic memory allocation
The Atlantic did a piece on the bias against creative ideas[0], and provided a suggestion for overcoming resistance:

"Film producers, like NIH scientists, have to evaluate hundreds of ideas a year, but can only accept a tiny percentage. To grab their attention, writers often frame original ideas as a fresh combination of existing ideas. 'It’s Groundhog Day meets War of the Worlds!' Or 'It’s Transformers on the ocean!' In Silicon Valley, where venture capitalists also shift through a surfeit of proposals, the culture of the high-concept pitch is vibrant (Airbnb was once eBay for homes; Uber, Lyft, and Zipcar were all once considered Airbnb for cars; now, people want Uber for everything)."

Paul Graham gets credit for the 'x for y' format.

Bitcoin surges past 2000$ USD for a single coin
Yeah, but in 2010, bitcoin was a barely heard of crypto paper with no exchanges. To get in you would either have to mine it yourself (probably using command line tools with a bunch of manual steps) or find someone to buy from in person or on a mailing list. That's a lot of effort for something that at the time just looked like a cool 3rd year project.

For every person that picked bitcoin and made a gamble, there are 1000 people regretting that they invested in some other idea that just quietly didn't go anywhere. Investing that early is not much different to gambling. You probably have better odds of winning the lottery that picking the next bitcoin.
I was just talking to my SO about the cement ship the other day. Not really so much about the ship itself, but the fact the pier is suffering the same fate as the ship. It was once a rather big fishing spot when I was growing up, but not it is completely closed off. Once it's gone it isn't going to be rebuilt.
See for us the difference between socialism vs Capitalism is like the difference between eating unhealthy (but tasty) food vs eating healthy food.

Not everyone who eats unhealthy food dies, nor does not everyone who eats healthy food lives to see 100. But fundamentally looking at other people who have managed to live despite of eating unhealthy food or some combination of these isn't the way to go.

The people who have lived to see 80 despite of eating McDonalds burger everyday, have done that due to a combination of good genetics + some other redeeming qualities. This does not mean that everybody should eat McDonalds or anyone talking about harmful effects of unhealthy food should shut up because clearly there are people enjoying their lives while eating unhealthy food.

Take for instance, an African country trying same socialist policies will not see the same effect as a European country trying them. Same thing goes with Capitalist policies.

Socialism in Russia was very 'Russian', and when they got Capitalism, it's again very 'Russian' in nature. In fact when you go back to Tsar's times, you'd find the same 'Russian' entity about their culture.

I'd say they're one of the worst offenders of tech reporting.

Apparently on their Google IO podcast they complained quite a bit how one of them installed the new developer preview of Android and "none of the new features worked".

Because of course it's as though they expect the new APIs already being used out of the box in a build meant for developers to use. It's not called a "customer preview"...
That was entirely by design. You might not have liked it, but it was an expected outcome.
Any reason to believe they'd actually do this? Apple are one of the few companies that seem to genuinely value customer privacy[1]; They make their money selling your products, not selling your personal information after all. If this were a Google or Facebook product on the other hand...

[1] I could point to numerous examples of this (removing APIs used to track individual iOS devices, fighting the government on proposed encryption backdoors, etc), but I think the onus is on you to rather provide evidence to suggest this is something they would do :)
Because, until there's precedent from the Supreme Court, any ambiguities in the law can be interpreted to practically any viable way of interpretation. Further, because of precedent, a single "weird" decision in a given district that comes early becomes effectively binding upon future decisions in that same circuit and lower circuits under its purview.

So as to avoid politics, if the law says "Go to the nearby grocery store to buy some bread. Also, if they have eggs, buy 6," there are two logically valid interpretations (though there may be only one that parses correctly.) A programmer may go to the store, see the eggs, and buy 6 loaves of bread, or he may buy a loaf of bread and 6 eggs.

If the 4th and 6th circuits decide differently, then those precedents are binding within those circuits and in lower circuits, so other cases using similar logic are also binding.

Because it usually takes two circuit courts to disagree (a circuit split) before the Supreme Court will be inclined to hear a case like this, then it means at least two people need to be sued for getting the wrong thing, appeal, and appeal again. Court cases take years, and finding the exact right cases with the exact right plaintiffs takes even longer. Because of that, Circuit A can interpret a statute completely differently than Circuit B for a very long time indeed, and so long as there's some sound, logical underpinning, be completely okay in doing so (though the necessity for soundness is debatable.)

I challenge you to interrogate what sort of perspective changes happened. I used to think the same: that the occasional Netflix series binge was opening my mind to a new perspective on X topic. But after deeper consideration, I realize the perspective changes were still on-par with shifts that could/would happen from other pursuits, like learning a language or just meeting new people. And this perspective wasn't earned through more "screen time"...something we should all be trying to reduce.
Do you usually get this defense on an open Internet forum?

I was on reduced lunch as well for many years at my school, and out of the 70ish kids in our AP "block" format(2 hours, same room, co-teachers) only 3 other kids were on reduced lunch. Again, wealthy zip code(s) make up the school boundaries and small % of kids on reduced lunch that I was aware of.

If I managed to offend you, that wasn't my intent. There's plenty of research out there showing the importance of parents in the home, and many other factors that have a correlation with income and income drives free/reduced lunch.

Additionally, several of my friends did/are doing Teach for America in extremely poor school districts. Add on top of that, that while I lived in LA I volunteered at after school programs for children.

So please, don't judge someone when you don't have the background of what someone has been through or seen first hand.

One day I'd love to be able to fund a study of things like this, but until that day I'll have to rely on my "bets".

I think most people believe in free markets for people who sell things for them, but prefer protection for their own goods and services. It is human nature. I would like to unpack our policy choices from an ideological wrapper like "free markets", which in theory everyone is in favor of and always relative. The label lets people get away with the lazy thinking that if business lobbies for X, it must be good for the economy, and if government wants to regulate Y it must be bad for the economy. Neither statement is always true. What we tend to believe is based on our prejudices rather than thinking about each choice on a case by case basis.
Go is much more suited for web apps than any driver or real time performance application; although, I will agree that using Go for command-line tools is great. I haven't used Elixir but as somebody who uses Go, I highly recommend not replacing C/C++ with it unless it isn't performance critical.

PS: Go's memory usage is pretty up there some times, another reason you should probably stick with C/C++ in the context mentioned above.
> Capitalism is great because it divides decision-making authority in resource distribution to many people who can't distort the market on their own.

There are plenty of cases where it's rational for participants with the necessary resources to participate in some portion of the market to work together to "distort the market." This is why antitrust law is designed not just to target monopolists, but also cartels.
This isn't about FB solving the problem, it's about FB announcing the existence of their own internal bureaucracies. That is, they won't solve the problem, but they'll create an email address specifically for the problem.

The maximum penalty for violating the GDPR is 4% of worldwide turnover. Possibly stupid question: I keep hearing that this is considered a "high" penalty, but if you're Google or Facebook and this (or any) regulation substantially threatens your bottom line to the tune of more than 4%, wouldn't you just eat it like a tax?
