Reminds me of commander Chris Hadfields philosophy of always aiming to be a Zero. He said in any environment you could be a -1 a 0 or a +1. You don't get to decide which of those your efforts end up being. He further observes coming into a new environment and doing too much or trying to overachieve can often just make a mess, making you a -1. Aim to be a zero. Stack those shelves, do the boring work you know you can do well until you are sure you can handle the more complex chores. Also sort of reminds me of Net Promoter Score; would you recommend X to friends and family?

That does kind of miss the whole point of the article. If you are a resident, you rent an apartment, and pay an extra 23% that in part is due to the ease at which firms like AirBnB let speculators buy up apartments and rent them out to tourists for a profit.

Tourism is good for Spain, that's not lost on anyone. But the profits are not evenly distributed. Not all social problems can be solved by the market.

"Yet most of Ms. Mayer’s paycheck ultimately came from the gains in Yahoo’s Alibaba and Yahoo Japan investments, over which she had little control. Thanks to an investment made in 2005, Yahoo had a 24 percent stake in Alibaba, which today is China’s leading e-commerce company."

Quite literally money for nothing, and people wonder why CEO pay is such an issue.
The idea that shareholders own the company and are therefore good, objective arbiters of CEO pay sounds good on paper but even the simplest of examinations of how this functions in reality should tell you what the problems are.

First, the board who decides the CEO pay are not objective. They are friends with the CEO. They are not objective. The social circles of boards of large companies and the CEOs they hire is not that big, and they do not think objectively about each other.

Second, there's no real motive for them to be strict with the CEO; there's every motive to be overly generous. If they give the CEO ultra generous pay and bonuses, they then expect (and receive) to be treated in the same way when the shoe is on the other foot. When the CEO is on a board for a company they are an executive at.

Executve pay has been on an insane runaway explosion for years. You can say "That's because the companies are so successful!" But Yahoo is evidence success has nothing to do with it.

And I would argue even if it were due to success; the workers should be benefit at least as much as executives, and they don't.

I had to come here after reading up to the "Command" interface idea. This book has a lot of things that look good on a 3 to 4 element case but, when scaled up, will become unwieldy.

Adding all of this complexity to button clicks does not sound very intuitive. The original if statement wasn't either but the Command interface wasn't a good replacement. I've always liked using event systems for handling actions like this. C++ would probably be a great language to implement a fast priority based, cancellable, and event system. For something along the lines of what I'm talking about see [1]. It's not perfect (you need a dispatcher for every event) but it still better captures the idea that "Something happens and it triggers N many actions".

Maybe it's just different style. Maybe it's just different ways of thinking about the problem. Maybe it's just that I'm not a gamedev and I work in a different sector.

For non-rooted devices, http://wilysis.com/networkcellinfo do some nice apps that show the current cell tower location and can log that with a map. Whilst it won't flag up a fake tower, they will stick out.

There are also apps that alert you to fake cell towers, but they depend upon knowing what the legit ones are so the ones I have played with require you to log the local towers you use as a white list. Otherwise how do you or the app know the difference between a fake and a real tower.

But the aspect that cell towers do not have trusted certificates or any form of proving they are from X,Y or Z carrier is a bit of a problem.

One solution is to use VOIP instead of cellulare voice comm's and a VPN. That way the ability of a fake tower will be reduced in what it can glean from you.

Thanks for letting me know! Looking into this...
My wife gets a kind of de ja vu.

She's had a peculiar persistent condition ever since taking a very large dose of lsd with me.

On a near-nightly basis for the last two years her dreams have been entirely different in quality to before her trip.

Prior to the trip she always dreampt in third person, as if watching a story unfold. Now she often has first person dreams.

These first person dreams are so much more real to her than her prior dreams. Indistinguishable from reality.

She often will learn things in the dreams that she doesnt know in real life.

When she woke up from the time she was dreaming as an autistic Vietnemese man during the Vietnam War and started talking Vietnemese to me, that was weird. Pulling out Google translate and having it accurately translate.

Or when she mentioned acute details of a person that neither of us had met before, but soon would be introduced to by a mutual acquaintance of ours. She knew this person because she had a dream where she was that person. The girl was described as chubby with dark hair and had a missing ring finger since birth, as well as being a mutual acquaintance of the friend who would introduce us.

It would take me days of writing to capture the adventures we've been on since this strange phenomenon began. Too many of her "alternate lives" for lack of a better word. And to be honest neither of us talk about it much. Even our closest friends just know the vague superficiality of it. Who would believe us? Most would be incredulous or write us off as nuts. The last place I'd expect this comment to meet welcoming eyes is a place like HN, and for good reason. There's no evidence of this nonsense outside of anecdotes. My wife certainly can't control her dreams to do a repeatable experiment. However now that I mention that, I wonder what lucid dreaming could be like for her.

Neither of us believed in psychic phenomenon before this, but now we just sort of accept that there are greater mysteries than the narrow lens of materialism is now focused on.

We can't explain these occurrences.
It depends on the country but typically there is a set of central bank regulations which attempt to ensure adequate safeguards are in place when non-banks offer banking services. Example protection of the float for stored value wallets and enforcement of anti-money laundering KYC for peer to peer transfer.

Central banks also tend to (sometimes sensibly) clamp down on services that are closer to core (profitable? :P) banking services like interest & loans, so telco wallets with this functionality built in house are much rarer.
In th US, "bribing" politicians is actually legal. Large campaign donations are not illegal and occording to Citizens vs United, are protected free speech.

As far a white collar crime goes, if you are talking about banking when mention a "parasitic attack on the complexity of the modern economy", I think that bank lobbying has made things that you would hope people would go to jail for, legal or unenforceable.

Just give it a try. While Swift is not perfect, it really is great for macOS/iOS development and continuously getting better. I'd never go back to ObjC.
I'm the exact opposite. I have been forcing myself to use Swift daily to rewrite utilities and help with an iOS app. I hate their take on the Smalltalk-style selector (the unnecessary parentheses is a pain) and other parts of the language. I'll use it, but it is much like Transact-SQL or Perl was for me (become an expert but not really like the language or programming in it).

We added JSON LD to our site at work so that our results in Google would be richer. It's annoying always having to play catch up with whatever new toy Google decides to implement on their search engine which is for all practical purposes the heart of the entire web.

JSON+LD is extremely mediocre in my experience. It's more human readable and easier to edit than XML but it suffers from some of the same issues where specifications quickly turn into a mess that is anything but specific. Do a Google search for any kind of product that returns enhanced results and look at how each of those sites implements their JSON+LD data and even if they are using the same spec each will have come to different conclusions about what it means.
Most likely. It can even run as an unprivileged user (and users can manage their own daemons with it).

"First, the board who decides the CEO pay are not objective. They are friends with the CEO. They are not objective."

Well you might be right, but aren't hostile takeovers, activist shareholders, etc. disproof of that? In fact, the article mentions that it was activist investors who had Marissa Mayer instated, though I don't really know the history of Yahoo that well.

"Executve pay has been on an insane runaway explosion for years. You can say "That's because the companies are so successful!" But Yahoo is evidence success has nothing to do with it."

It's pretty weak evidence, considering that Yahoo was very succesful for its shareholders. I mean it's one thing to make the argument when the company fails, which I still don't buy. But to make the argument when a company succeeds, by claiming it didn't succeed enough, or that the CEO wasn't enough responsible for the success?! (Defining success as what shareholders care about in this case, which is making money). We can see examples of CEOs who do much worse and destroy lots of value. And I'm not even talking about the fact that they had to pay Marissa Mayer enough to take the risk, or that you can't judge investments solely on whether they succeed or not, since all investments are risks.

But I'm still left with one thing I simply don't understand here - who are you trying to protect that is getting hurt? The shareholders? How are you protecting them by limiting the ways in which they can use their money? If you really think that shareholders aren't well represented and therefore make bad decisions, then maybe you're right, but wouldn't the solution be to fix that problem, instead of attacking a symptom?

"And I would argue even if it were due to success; the workers should be benefit at least as much as executives, and they don't."

Not sure what you mean by "at least as much", but workers do benefit. They tend to hold shares of the company, which have increased in value just as much as the CEO's shares. Salaries in e.g. tech companies are much higher, which is another way in which workers benefit.

> That's only the case because the guidelines and moderation practices are set up to keep political flamewars off the site.

I agree. But it's not the political topics that are the problem, it's the incivility.

Keeping incivility out of political discussions is more difficult than keeping politics out of technical discussions.

However, there are discussions that we should be having, around professional ethics, data privacy, censorship, advertising, etc, that are inseparably both political and technical.

I do think plenty of people are high achievers as engineers but want to regard their work as apolitical.

While we should not tolerate incivility, we should also be willing to face political issues and differences with consideration and respect. If the people on HN can't do that, who can?

Yeah, the ratio of bold statements to demonstrated effectiveness seems a little high. And after all their talk about embodied sensorimotor whatnots, HTM doesn't seem that good for, well, actually doing things, compared with mainstream deep learning (eg. AI Gym stuff.)

Also I don't get why their method cares about sampling rate. It just seems weird.

> A data sampling rate from once per minute to once per hour, with the “sweet spot” being between once per minute and once every five minutes (faster velocity data can be aggregated or sampled as well)
I think it will be the opposite (unfortunately). People idolize Jobs, only the tech people even know who Wozniak is.
Use your favourite search engine to look for "Rich vs King" and Noam Wasserman... There are legitimate alternative approaches.

It's interesting to note
that the architecture of the first ISO codec MPEG (1)
is almost identical to the one we have today H.265
That codec was standardised in the late 90s
So this design has carried through for about 20 years.
Most of the changes relate to the targeted parameters
such as frame size, frame rate and bitrate.
Only the last step 264 --> 265 seems to have added new features.

After looking around it appears there is no easy answer. I also wont be taking any responses as "legal advice".

I will break it down to a simple example.

Lets say A friend wants to pay me $500 for some bitcoin because they dont want to go through hassle of setting up an account on a exchange. Is that legal?

Please post links to sources because I dont think strictly opinion is helpful.

Workers in general do not hold shares of companies. It is a small minority of workers in the US who have shares of their company.

The workers are who I'm concerned about, not the board members. The workers suffer from the current trend of executives and boards looking out only for themselves and their fellow large shareholders.

Even when workers do have some shares of their company; I'm sure most Yahoo employees who were laid off would rather still have their jobs than get a final small dividend when Yahoo was sold off.
A single quote is actually shorthand for the quote special form

'foo
(quote foo)
'(1 2 3)
(quote (1 2 3))

It basically does not evaluate its arguments but returns whatever it is. So instead of the value of foo, it the symbol foo. The list example does not evaluate it either, it would normally try to apply the first element as a function, but instead we get the list of numbers.
