Why Managing Data Scientists Is Different
I've discovered that the missing link for me was getting the articles onto my Kindle. I now read between 100-150 articles a month this way, previously I would read only 10-30 articles in a month.

I use Wallabag, an open source alternative to Pocket. It generates an RSS feed which Calibre can read, download, and send to the e-reader. Pocket should do the same thing. Once a week or so I go through and mark articles as read, then open up Calibre to re-download the fresh feed.

One weird trick (heh) that has become really useful is reversing the RSS feed. So I receive two 'e-books' on my Kindle, one with new articles and one with old articles. This satisfies me, since I'm often wanting to read some new articles ASAP, while also working my way through the backlog.

Calibre lets you script the feed processing in Python. With Wallabag the feed is also paginated, so you could accomplish nearly the same thing by selecting a higher page number. Not sure if Pocket does that.

The emergent theory of consciousness is the gordian knot of modern thinking. The people espousing it basically don't understand emergence, which explains their willingness to attribute magical powers to it.
It may be a good idea to try blending some massacre (um, because WP:COMMONNAME, a.k.a. "everyone mentions the massacre"?) in and call it some "protest and massacre" though.
"Performance" in the sense of the "performance" of a stock is pretty well established terminology, but yeah, that just highlights how these currencies are highly speculative assets.

It's definitely possible to exchange cryptocurrencies for goods and services. I paid for a plane ticket with BTC just the other day (AirBaltic) and it was more convenient than using my debit card (because my bank requires a particular proprietary 2FA scheme that I don't always carry).

There are many people who charge for their programming services in cryptocurrency... there are huge dark markets... several cafés accept cryptocurrency (Paralelni Polis in Prague just switched to Litecoin from Bitcoin)... etc etc.

The top cryptocurrencies are valuable, liquid, and offer many benefits over other payment methods, so it's obvious that you can use them for exchange.

These studies have been popping up on HN, and they're all pretty interesting, yet all seem fairly inconclusive to me.

This one started in 2011, and I'm guessing since the article doesn't say they stopped, that it is still going on?

> The report found no evidence for the idea that people will work less under a universal income, and found that in some cases, like in the service industry, people worked more, expanding their businesses or pursuing more satisfying lines of work.

but yet they say:

> The researchers did find that young people — specifically people in their twenties — worked less, but noted that Iran never had a high level of employment among young people, and that they were likely enrolling in school with the added income.

It seems like tracking how many people who are enrolled in school would be fairly easy to track to verify this. They do say in the paper that youth does have a reduced labor rate, but then they say it might be education (but provide no numbers):

> While there is no evidence of a negative supply response for
the average worker, male or female, there is one for youth in their twenties. If one were to
expect a strong negative impact it would be for youth, who have weak job attachment, can stay
in school longer, or enjoy more leisure, though we do know which of these options they choose.

While I do think there's value in looking at the micro circumstances, I do wonder how culture will change and shift because of UBI, and how that will also affect its outcome.

For example, if we say that we believe in UBI, that means that basically everyone should have enough money to live. We're offering an entitlement to which people will feel entitled. Over time, how will that change society?

One past example of this would be college education. Nowadays everyone goes to college, but it wasn't always so. Would as many people to go college if society didn't push them that way? One other such cultural shift might be women entering the workforce, or desegregation, and how that lead toward the fight for civil rights.
Dear [Redacted],

In your note, you say you aren't sure why. Please talk to someone instead. You are a very valuable person and the world needs more people like you, not less.

Please reconsider.
No, you're missing the point. Idlewords already has a business doing the EXACT SAME THING, So the domain itself doesn't matter, but the history of delicious and it's decade(?) of existence of SEO history, of backlinks, of blogs, articles writing about 'best bookmarking service' now can essentially be used to redirect to Pinboard.

And I'm sure, Pinboard has a super low run rate . So any additional revenue is likely straight to the bottom line.

Which means, he paid $35K for an immediate 500K new visits(?) to his business today? Plus the continual link and SEO juice he'll get from all future searches that people do for bookmarking service.

And just to note: searched "bookmarking service" . Top link from 2017 points to Delicious still ( no Pinboard ). Next 2 contain links to Delicious, hell even one that is talking about the death of Google's bookmarking service references Delicious.

What. A. Steal.
Thanks for asking! I'm sorry, but we're looking for more of a fullstack or frontend person with experience related to web technologies.
I understand that you may be looking at this for a way to monetize/capitalize on something that hasn't been yet; and the system is inefficient, but the only way that you would be able to legitimately get this to go would be partnering with the government as a certified app, and then your income is from state and federal taxes, not the monetized individual.

Things you'd have to make sure you've got covered (that the really don't have covered yet with the current system).

- Voter Identity and Authentication
- Multiple Ballots (you have to sign up for mail-in currently, and can't vote in person if you have)
- Coordinating these with the State and Federal election committees

If you want to see a mandate on non-polling place election methods, look no further than the special election here in Montana. It was put to vote to allow for all ballots to be mail in, and it was struck down via partisan reasons, even though those don't hold here. You would have to go through a vetting process and bidding period to be the person/group/company that supplied this tech, and someone would more than likely underbid you as federal contract rules are as arcane as they are inane.

TL;DR: Voting is __not__ a system that is ripe for privatized 'disruption'.
I wonder if UBI actually allows the economy to become more efficient. It could be the case that an abusive employer would be more severely punished by the labor market if the economic cost to the worker is diminished by a UBI (i.e. My boss is a jerk, I'm just going to quit and find an employer that treats me better). I would assume then that satisfied employees, with good employers, would then be more productive than their dissatisfied counterparts.

It also seems reasonable to assume that workers would also be more likely to create new businesses entirely if the personal financial risks associated with doing so were diminished by a UBI.
Who gives you unlimited data in Canada? I checked with Fido and Freedom pop and they both said they don't offer it.
Our goal with building this was not to be comprehensive, but to give founders and employees a way to have a more productive conversation about options and what they are worth. Too many startup employees I meet don't properly value the options they have, and too many potential hires don't negotiate for the right things, and wind up disappointed.

We hope this will take a small step towards correcting this problem.

Seems the authors' agendas are leaking through, these two consecutive paragraphs from the article essentially contradict each other and the premise of the article.

What I read: "we found evidence that young people did work less, but we hand waved it away with a seemingly plausible and totally unsubstantiated assumption."

This is politicized science.
Is there legit in harm in starting a very cold computer? I've actually never heard that before and it would be a good thing to keep in mind if so.
> I refuse to support an organization which so blatantly disregards personal space.

I suppose you have no cell phone and live in a place with no government then, because Facebook can't hold a candle to telcos and governments when it comes to disregarding your personal space.
I think this is more an indictment that people don't actually know how to use FB.

YOU control what you want to see and who you interact with, spending to much time there? Take charge of your own life and click off. Seeing something you don't want to see? Hide it. It's not rocket science.

Personally I get a great deal of value from it. It's a tool like any other, but you have to know how to use it.
People did not care much about Stalin in 70s-80s. It is symbolic in this case (space ships in Russia are made from Titanium). Another space-related monument in Moscow (the Conquerers of Space) is also Titanium.
Also, from what I've heard, steel technology in the USSR was not that great and it might be just too expensive to build these from steel.

"Twitter is basically a bunch of 00s forums that would all hate each other mashed together but also for some reason, professional journalists"

Couldn't agree more. But I really enjoyed 00s forums so I really enjoy twitter. The journalists, if anything, are ruining it by treating it as a clubhouse and a legitimate proxy for what's on the nation's mind.

This assumes you want to use records for your data: records don't have inheritance. So whereas in C# you could create a UserDb that extends User with the Id/DateAdded fields, in F# that's not idiomatic.

I am sure there could be a good way to automate this using type providers, but I haven't tried it yet.
Specifically they found that generally people didn't work less, although young people did and they aren't sure if they are just not working, or if they are going to school. They counter that observation that employment in young people is also low in general. (presumably allowing for systemic unemployment of some form).

There is a consistent outcome from many BI tests, which is that just knowing there will be some money each month can mitigate stress and anxiety in people. People with reduced stress and anxiety are both more productive and more functional.
FYI: Looks like he's in DevOps at [redacted]. I called their personnel dept. and they know what's going on and they said they're on it. I hope they get to him in time and can help.
I found this site very useful because as you said it is easy for beginners but it also actually goes into how a is engine works enough for you to understand not only the what, but also the why.
You're right. It limits, but not stops, updates on metered connections. Say you have a device that is on metered only for weeks or months, Windows will rightfully start downloading updates as not having these updates is a security risk. I think MS has made a lot of controversial decisions with Windows 10 but I don't believe consumers should have the ability to dismiss security updates out of convenience. The risk to themselves and the larger internet is far too great.

Also, putting aside the politics of telemetry data, the actual file is a compressed XML file. I don't know the real size off hand, but its just compressed text. Its not going to affect your metered connections quota. A 20kb transfer every month shouldn't bankrupt your connection.

Not to mention, its trivial to disable telemetry if you have basic technical chops. Windows updates too. Or don't use Windows if your use case is so far from the norm. Its designed for the lowest common denominator, not for techies.
Your 16 year old will eventually be old too. Facebook will still be there.

I can't help but laugh when I imagine what this would've looked like before the internet existed.

"Look, honey, we got something in the mail from Katie and John! It's... oh... just a bunch of pictures of food. That's odd."

Meanwhile Katie and John are still at home, furiously stuffing envelopes with the same food pictures so they can send one to everybody in their address book.
