I doubt it was the SEO folks suggesting ads, they've known to prioritise page load time for a whole now. It's the business side of the company at a loss to find another way to make money.

I'm not sure that anyone can, but just that certain large entities can, and it is apparently profitable for them to do so, so they have incentive to keep it in line. If it's selling for less than it's worth, they will "cash out" at the end of the day and pick up the underlying shares at a discount. If it's selling for more than it's worth, they will buy more underlying securities and create new shares that sell for more than they are worth. I'm no expert though so it would be good to look into it more.

I'll give you a single word: Metamodernism.

I'm in the middle of reading it, but the viewpoint and arguments being made (not to mention overuse of oscillation/pendulums/art-as-cycle) hit me as being rooted there. There's not much to go on in terms of pure-visual MM artworks, a few performances by Ronkko, Turner, LaBeouf and some academic critiques.

The gist is an oscillation between the PostModern methods of operation (Irony, Pastiche, etc) and more sincere methods of expression. A balancing act that displaces the artist back and forth between objectivity/subjective belief, Abstract and concrete image. But what separates these works from proper Modernist/Postmodernist works is the cognizance of both and utilizing eithers methods in differing degrees.

Take a look at the "New Metamodernists" on FB, Notes on Metamodernism blog and do a search of Google Scholar. Hell, I attempted to make a API-Art service in a metamodern fashion, have an exhibition coming up wwhere I play with these techniques as well.

You do have a point there about travel costs and hiring a speaker. But consider that sending those employees to a conference is not just about training.

Those employees are representing the company when they attend, network, and quite possibly sell the company's services or products to others that they meet.

If those employee have speaking spots (they're speaking at the conference), then the company has an even better chance at getting the company's name out there in front of a lot of people. In that case, the company can benefit even more when it comes to branding and other benefits that speakers give the company.

Once Google Fi is activated, it can work on iPhones and other devices. I use it all the time when traveling. Data-only SIM cards are free on Fi, (with no monthly recurring fee) so you can roam on multiple devices and only pay a very low fee ($10/gig) for what you use.
What do you mean by fully-loaded? Are you counting the cost of those 40 people taking two days away from work? If not ...
($200 per hour * 16 hours + $1,000 travel) * 2 employees ~ $8,400. Is training that cheap? To paraphrase a few folks from Hacker News, "Y'all need to raise your rates."
Exactly. It's about the relationships you make there.

I think it is talking about mirror neurons. The article states

> Sukhvinder Obhi, a neuroscientist at McMaster University, in Ontario, [...] found that power, in fact, impairs a specific neural process, “mirroring,” that may be a cornerstone of empathy.

This paper this refers to is https://www.oveo.org/fichiers/power-changes-how-the-brain-re... , which states

> with respect to action observation, neural circuits that are related to action execution become active when the person observes someone else making the same action; in other words, the observer’s brain resonates with the model’s motor behavior. We refer to the network of brain regions involved in this process as the motor resonance system. Motor resonance includes the human parietofrontal mirror system, and many believe that resonance reflects mirror system activity. [...] Researchers suggest that motor resonance provides a scaffold for understanding the actions of our interaction partners, and those actions are frequently less important to those with high-power status. [...] In the present study, we examine whether power can increase or decrease interpersonal sensitivity by examining the effects of power priming on motor resonance.

The parietofrontal mirror system is the classic set of mirror neurons which were first identified in monkeys.
I'm not sure it means jail time. It does need to be substantive. Holding the CEO, CTO and CSO directly accountable is a start. But I think it needs to be company wide. It needs to be punitive damage to the company and its shareholders. The risk of mishandling PII and similar data needs to outway the benefit (that may differ per type of PII).

At that point it would be my theory that consolidation around best practices, software, security audits... would become the norm. It would raise the cost of a company taking on the responsibility itself, that they'd rely on others to reduce the cost through volume. It would probably start looking a lot like PCI and credit card co. Requirements. The big difference here being that there isn't an industry body responsible, but the government, which would always be political and probably not have enough teeth.

The BioScrum Ecosystem
Neil Patel is a good first place to start to learn. Then you realize all his (vanity) metrics are just measures of your competition. So I went to Warriorforum.com to read what my competition was saying.

After that, I realized it was all about the basics + a niche. you need to know the fundamentals of "buy traffic, convert traffic to business goal, collect money for successful business outcome", but that was table stakes.

Once you know the mechanics of the game, it's up to you to niche/exploit. You're not going to make money doing what everyone else does, so if you're asking for advice instead of trying your own thing, you're already losing.
Interfaces allow polymorphic coding, and they support stack allocated data structures last I checked.
This is exactly why I launched an online course. So people can set goals and know how to meet new people. It's not pushy, traditional networking stuff either. It's to build true relationships with cool people who can lead you to new business opportunities later. Networking is about helping others first.

As for events, it really depends on the event and your role. If your job in part involves working with partners, communities, etc. then F2F interactions with many of those people may be important. Many people also enjoy attending such events but they're usually not (and shouldn't be) complete boondoggles.

Nope, an EM4100-compatible card (or a key fob) is just a 64-bit ROM with radio interface. You can read its value and replay it to a reader; the latter won't be able to tell the difference between the original card and your spoofed one.

How? What are the carry costs?

This would essentially be a bitcoin loan - I've never heard of such a thing, but i don't follow them very much (I do work in finance and trading though).

Literally, what is the bitcoin interest rate?

Is there even enough volume ooh these lower tier exchanges to support shorting the spot on them?

EDIT: i didn't find the interest rates but i did see that Bitfinex offers the ETH-BTC cross which is good so somebody can bet the relative value. I still think a futures market weighs be really useful for hedging purposes and reduced shorting fees and slippage.

Most of those aren't useful but every now and then someone pauses at the ad, reads it for longer than usual, and bam, now you've got someone tagged in your tracking metrics as having an interest in whatever's in the ad, and you can target them or sell that info where it can b.e correlated with other data.

To be fair, conferences are not always the best way to learn new things. It's variable depending on the conference, and there are some at the lower end that are glorified trade shows.

But for me, the obvious reason to attend is to network with other developers. Whether your company sees that as useful or not will probably determine if they spring for it.

Watch it over the next few years, let's see what happens.
That's interesting, because I regularly browse with a LOT of Chrome tabs open. Like, 50-200. There'll be a window with a bunch of datasheets I'm intending to process into schematics (eventually,) a handful of articles, some in-progress shopping carts, a few resources that I might want to read more closely at some point in the near future...

Really, deciding when to close tabs and what to close is kind of an organic process. I am running ChromeOS on ARM, though, so that may be a bit more optimized for having lots of Chrome tabs open. On x86/64, I'd probably have to use Firefox for that kind of nonsense.

But incidentally, I love ChromeOS on ARM. Very energy-efficient, there are some solid models in that rare and coveted 10-11.6" size range, now it has (beta) Android apps, and in dev mode you can pop a full Linux chroot onto it with an extension that lets you surface X sessions to a Chrome tab. Absolutely fantastic, until you run into a closed-source x86/64 binary.

Also, since I have to sync everything to a repository or cloud storage or physical media fairly frequently to use a more fully-functioned machine, it also means that if I lose it or it breaks or I have to evacuate and leave it behind or something, nbd. Data's still there, and they're only like $2-300 anyways - not bad for a secondary computer.

Hey, Apple - you know that 12" Macbook of yours? The one with a laughable single port? Maybe make an ARM version with a popular hackable core chip; like a newer Allwinner A10 or something. You could charge $400-500, easy.
That is a perfect way to put it for me to understand it...

Thanks. I feel obtuse for not getting that for so long.
> But what's the alternative to Facebook for media companies?

Here's what's going to happen, it's very predictable: inflection.

At peak fear, when nearly everyone is screaming at the top of their lungs about Facebook crushing earth (with inbound anti-trust attention), an inflection will be getting birthed that will be busy undermining the reason for that laughable mass dread.

The inflection - which has never not occurred, especially in technology - will be the birth of a thousand new distribution points, which will increasingly rip attention away from Facebook. These new distribution points will be narrow, hyper focused, they'll serve their audience radically better than Facebook within any given category.

I'll emphasize it one more time for anyone too emotional on this topic to think straight: there isn't a single example in recent tech history, in which an inflection didn't break down a formerly dominant position. Not one example in the last 60 years. We're nearing peak Facebook, the screaming is beginning as one would expect; government attention is next up, talk of regulation or breaking it up will become extremely common ('what to do about Facebook' is coming to the cover of magazines); meanwhile, right this moment, those thousand new points of distribution are being born, while few are paying attention. As Facebook reaches peak time-on-site saturation, it'll begin to bleed dominance, very very slowly at first, then it'll cascade.

It's complicated.

Skylake/Kaby Lake have two full-fledged 256-bit vector units.

Ryzen has four partial units. There are two 128-bit adders, and two 128-bit multipliers.

Intel's best case is a constant stream of 256-bit FMA instructions. They can do two per cycle, while AMD can do one.

The more plain adds and multiplies, the better Ryzen does. The same for 128-bit vector instructions. With enough of both, it can actually do significantly more work per cycle.
I always liked this Gore Vidal quote:

> The political-science professors, perfectly sane men, look at me with wonder when I talk about the ruling class in America. They say, “You are one of those conspiracy theorists. You think there’s a headquarters and they get together at the Bohemian Grove and run the United States.” Well, they do get together at the Bohemian Grove and do a lot of picking of Secretaries of State, anyway. But they don’t have to conspire. They all think alike. It goes back to the way we’re raised, the schools we went to–after all, I’m a reluctant member of this group. You don’t have to give orders to the editor of The New York Times. He is in place because he will respond to a crisis the way you want him to, as will the President, as will the head of the Chase Manhattan Bank.

The interview it comes from, in Playboy, is pretty great. They're talking about how that now that the commie threat is spent, they'll need a new threat to keep people scared (they, as in the, the conspiratorial they). He jokes about Nicaraguan imperialism. We now know what we got instead.
I don't do a lot of development these days but IMO it's mostly a mistake to conflate conferences with deep-dive training (except to the degree that some conferences come with workshops attached). In addition to the networking/hallway track, conferences are useful to exposing yourself to new ideas, concepts, projects, etc. that you can then look into in greater depth after the event.
I don't know how much time you have to spare for learning to code, but even if it's just 10 minutes each day, that time stacks up. Even if it takes you a week to get to "hello, world!", there are 52 weeks in a year.

The most important thing is to build a habit and stick to it. If you reserve some specific 10 minutes of the day for learning to code, like just before going to sleep, it will soon become so ingrained that you wouldn't even think of stopping.

It may seem like a daunting task before you start, so much to learn, but if you take it step by little step, 10 minutes at a time, you can do it.

Yeah, I was gonna say, it's extremely difficult to efficiently get the content you're looking for on Facebook. These days, even if I go to someone's page, the most recent videos or photos might be hidden behind some UI element or another. In many ways, Facebook controls what you're going to see in ways cable companies didn't or couldn't. If you're in the feed, there is no way whatsoever to choose how its sorted. I have a lot of pro photographer friends and I want to see their photos, but Facebook's algorithm wants very badly for me to see the latest stolen viral video, so it hides everything else. Very powerful position.
Certainly, it makes it easier to call SWAT on the home of a person in Georgia while being in Alabama; this is much lower effort than shouting hate slogans at some random group of people in the street. This is scary nasty.
Yeah, you can lend out your bitcoin. for a daily interest rate and set the loan length to between 2 and 60 days. Lenders principle is in theory protected by a margin account. Interest rate is between 0.1% and up per day, which probably reflects the risk. I believe market depth is about 4,000 btc, so enough for an amateaur to play but not a hedge fund.
This is really good! I was trying to find some time to write about the crypto details of it, but your post is a great summary :) I'll add a reference to it in my post.
> How do you think the RNC got this information in the first place?

I imagine they used campaign dollars to buy the information from private companies with whom you've done business. Maybe legally, maybe not.

The RNC certainly isn't offering up such information as to where they sourced the data they leaked.
This thinking is at least as prevalent within dev as outside depending on what forums you frequent.
