I never devoted any effort to learning how to listen until the past few years. It makes a huge difference in having a good conversation. It's lots of fun to bring back what someone said earlier, often in a humorous way.

It helps to show interest in your conversation partner, not as technique of influence, but because people can be generally more interesting if you pay attention.

The number one indicator of poor listening for me is holding a response in my head and just waiting until the other person finishes talking so I can spew my wisdom. Taking an improv class or three helps a lot in learning to listen.

An interview with expo.io founder Charlie Cheever
Crime has an enormous cost on the economy that is mostly unseen. There's the obvious cost of prisons and the legal system. And the cost of door locks and security cameras and insurance, etc.

But more than that is the opportunity cost. People avoid cities and areas with high crime rates which decimates the economies of those areas. See "white flight" and all the problems it causes. People flee to the suburbs partially because they see it as safer. Industry and businesses leave too, making the problem even worse. I am having a great deal of trouble finding the source, but I've read this costs trillions of dollars. Lowering the crime rate would have enormous positive impact on society and the economy.

There's other costs too. Children basically aren't allowed outside anymore. Decades ago kids were allowed to play and explore freely all on their own. But now parents are so scared for their safety and won't let them leave the house. If you had ubiquitous surveillance, there would be no child abductions (or at least they would be quickly caught.) I think that alone would make it worth the cost.

>Problems such as then homelessness, the hungry. Solve those problems and crime will decrease forever.

I see no evidence of this. At least in first world countries, the majority of criminals are not starving or homeless.
As I posted elsewhere, it works with cable TV too, if you get a HDHomerun Prime with a cablecard, but with a bunch of caveats due to enforced DRM.

Also Plex DVR is a true DVR-- it will actually record those programs to disk, not just watch them live with trick play. It couldn't do live TV before, that's what was just added.
what are you guys looking for in a frontend engineer ? any junior positions available ? i'm looking for a position in berlin, i'm competent but with no work experience :)
From my understanding it can work with cable subscribers using the right box
Anti-social can also mean someone who just doesn't want to interact with other people.

I'm deliberately invoking both meanings of the word, because I think taking the desire to avoid interaction to the extreme harms society.

Some interesting facts about the Moscow's M.

The Metro could have appeared as early as 1875 in Moscow, but the Russian Orthodox Church blocked it by claiming that "a man, created in the image of God, cannot humiliate himself by descending into the underworld."

In the October of 1941, during 2nd world war, the soviet government was preparing complete liquidation of the Metro. It was supposed to be flooded but the government order was soon abolished.

The total combined length of the M is 300km or 186 miles.

GoCardless (YC S11) | London | SRE, Data, Backend and Frontend Engineers | Onsite | Full-time | Visa

GoCardless is building a payments network for the internet. Since 2011 we've been focused on simplifying Direct Debit for small and medium companies (who previously had no access to it) and we're now expanding to serve the largest companies (think newspapers, utilities) and connect with existing payment systems in countries all over the world. We already support the UK and Europe and are aiming to expand to more countries over the next year.

As an engineering team at GoCardless we care most about stable, reliable, understandable code. We rely on testing and code review and a culture of frequent constructive feedback. We define and manage our own roadmap and run projects in whatever way works best for us.

Our stack: Rails, Angular, React, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker, Chef.
We also have a bit of Go and Python knocking around.

We love learning new things and contributing back to the community. We open source everything we can[1] and regularly host meetups and hackathons at our wheelchair-accessable office in Angel. We have a weekly bookclub within the team and give internal (and external) talks about things that interest us.

Interview process: an intro call, one coding challenge, then a couple of onsite interviews (pair programming and some chats - no whiteboards!)

> When handing out references of something bound with let mut, why do i need to do &mut instead of just & ?

Sometimes, you still want to immutably borrow a mutable variable. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to have multiple references to a variable declared with `mut`, which would be an unnecessary limitation.

EDIT: Here's an example of something that wouldn't otherwise work if borrows of mutable variables were implicitly mutable:

struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}

fn add(p1: &Point, p2: &Point) -> Point {
let x = p1.x + p2.x;
let y = p1.y + p2.y;

Point { x: x, y: y }
}

fn main() {
let mut some_point = Point { x: 1, y: 1 };
some_point.x = 2;

// `some_point` is borrowed twice here, which wouldn't be possible if the borrows were mutable.
let other_point = add(&some_point, &some_point);

println!("({}, {})", other_point.x, other_point.y);
}

> If you define a class by the top 20% of income earners, then you can never have a "classless" society.

True, but I don't think that's what "class" generally means. Class is about privilege - about the ability to get ahead because of who you are rather than what you do. If you're in a higher class you're more likely to get into or to stay in that top 20% than somebody of a lower class who made equivalent choices and efforts. In a classless society there would still be a top 20% but those kinds of disparities could not happen. I think it's an unachievable goal, because environment is not quite the same as class (though the two are strongly related) and also affects outcomes, but it's something generally worth striving toward.
Yes, and there's also Kodi with its various PVR plugins, which is actually a pretty great and completely customizable UI. But that's a bit of a pain to configure too.

Plex offers everything in a single package, with two distinct advantages. First, it's client/server and will stream your programs anywhere over the internet. And second, it has great fully supported apps for every platform under the sun-- and if you don't like the apps its web UI is fabulous too! But, not open-source or free.

Sports is probably the only reason I bothered to mount an OTA antenna in my attic. I don't get cable or satellite, nor do I watch any TV shows, but the quality of HD sports with an OTA antenna is great, and it's live.

I can't imagine I'm the only one. Sports is pretty much the only thing I can't get from iTunes or streaming.
No, it's just too clunky in this day of instant gratification/”almost every application expects network access”/”computer is a communication tool not (only) an information-processing device”.

Supposing you decide to buy a small coffee, but if some tiny probabilistic quantum interaction in your brain had gone another way, you'd have bought a medium sized coffee instead.
Do you seriously believe a scenario like this constitutes free will? In a philosophically interesting sense?

I just don't see how randomness gains you the kind of "ghost in the shell" decision making that people usually mean when they're talking about this stuff. It's still just physical interactions, it just happens that these ones are fundamentally unpredictable.
Ride it everyday, and all the Soviet nostalgia aesthetic is making me sick. Here are some actually interesting stations:

- Vorobyovy Gory (the longest station, situated on a bridge over Moscow River)

- Dostoyevskaya (decorated with scenes from Dostoyevsky's novels which tend to be rather... dark)

- Timiryazevskaya (the only deep single-vault station in Moscow, looks cool)

- the entire monorail line (just weird)

- Vystavochnaya (the station under business district Moskva-City, it's just huge)

- Arbatskaya, light blue line (one of the smallest, and possibly the most useless station, very quirky)

Some of the recently built stations (yellow line Ramenki extension, light green line north of Maryina Roscha, dark blue line north of Strogino) have pretty interesting designs, if you don't mind travelling to the outskirts of Moscow.
I'm certainly opposed to prohibition, but we're at the other extreme when we're using tax dollars to get people hooked on drugs pushed by large, profitable corporations.

Yup. Cliff Stoll. His first book is a great read. The second as well, but he caught a lot of flack for his 'Luddite' views. Personally, and with the aid of hindsight, I think he just undershot on his predictions.
