The millionaire artist is a very modern invention.

Michelangelo was very wealthy and paid well for his artworks.
I just (re)read a book which deals with a lot of similar themes. It's a collection of letters to a Yiddish-language newspaper advice column which started in 1906. Many of the letters are about immigration, including conflict between generations who are divided by their experience of immigration, both in families where everyone came to the US and in families where some stayed behind in the old country.

Although the immigrants come from a different culture and a different time than in this essay, they share many themes (keeping the old language, being ashamed of parents who seem too attached to the old world, fitting in, etc).

People are different. I for one cannot imagine somebody enjoying running a supermarathon. I cannot imagine enjoying running any distance, tbqh. Yet, I see people running on the streets and read about people doing crazy running events and training for marathons etc. Do they do this to advance their career in running? I have no idea. Seeing the vast majority of them not getting paid anything and only spending money on running equipment I'd say they are pretty stupid if they do.

On the other hand, I know that some people enjoy making games. I am one of them. I had stayed up 30+ hours few times chasing bugs not because somebody forced me but because it's more fun than sit at home and watch TV (or run, or make ships in a bottle or whatever people with different hobbies do in their free time). You don't believe it's possible to enjoy your job? If it's true, it's pretty sad actually.

You're definitely not going to get rich making a "me too" game, which is what you find on Steam, mostly. Take the example he worked out - an RPG with zombies. No matter how technically competent you are there's no way to rise above the crowd starting with that kind of concept.
One thing about the state management recommendations: They talk about either storing the app state in component `state`, or using Redux.

An alternative I ended up going with is simply storing the app state in its own object, completely outside the React system.

This is a bit similar to using Redux, but you end up not getting lost in that tooling. You have to remember to manually send data over to the components (for example when you get API responses), since you don't get the auto-updating `setState` simply from storing app state in a component. But ultimately it lets you nicely separate the "backend" of your app with the view.
Not taking no for an answer is sexual harassment, if it makes the person on the receiving end uncomfortable.
You can, and should, knock out the really obvious stuff with regex validation but you're smart to be concerned about one thing that most people miss in this conversation.

A confirmation email doesn't solve the problem if the user mistyped the address to begin with. You're right, they wait for a confirmation email that never comes.

Using a third party service like BriteVerify's rest api is the only way to get an actual verification that the inbox exists.
Having first hand experience with this scenario several times, spot on.

right. I don't think it's pretentious per-se, I just think it's really odd, like from a literary, use-of-the-english-language perspective.

anyway, I just saw on the news that the serial-assaulter resigned, or has decided to take a travis (a leave of absence followed by a resignation), so that's a good thing.

According to the US State Department, anyone who visits Iran and stays for longer than a year requires an exit permit to leave the country. I don't know much about the politics of Iran but I'd imagine that applies to everyone born there. Due to that exit permit requirement it's probably much easier for women and children to leave than for the father.
Just in case you can forward this on... AWS EC2 eu-west-2 (London) to GCP Network Loader Balancer is about 12ms round trip for some reason. Most other anycast services located in London are 0.5-2ms round trip.

Google-area housing plan slashed in Mountain View

Agreed. The Google Ad Machine will never stop running. But, I think they will diversify their revenue streams in the coming years. Forces outside of Google's control such as governments and competition will begin to push back on the "all you can eat buffet" of personal data that Google has enjoyed in the past years.

Based on the numbers in the article like doubling their "large business" user base in the past year, I think Diane Greene will lead them to generating huge revenue in the Enterprise sector. Also, I think freemium versions of Google software, directed at consumers, will be increasingly popular in the future.
Startup Founder's Quest for Cure Leads to A.I. Genomics Hackathon at Google
So the Intel won with the ugliest instruction set and Microsoft won with the ugliest OS. "Ugly" is apparently an overrated design disinclination.
In the USA, "sexual harassment" is generally defined as behavior or words of a sexual nature that make a person feel uncomfortable. Examples could range from an extreme of physical assault or offering a quid-pro-quo to keep ones job or get a promotion, all the way to telling lewd jokes or stories within earshot of a third party, or making comments or compliments about someone's dress or appearance (even telling a co-worker "you look lovely today" every morning).
By opening the door when not in use.

If you need continuous use, two rooms. One that acts as an "airlock" with an outer door that is open only when the door to the other room is closed. Battery operated fans and lights used as necessary.

Note that the "inner room" might be as small as a ammo crate depending on your use case.
It would atleast give those founders an option - some agency. Atleast they would go in knowing what to expect and make that choice if it works for their situation.

I hope you'd consider naming those firms/partners, for the benefit of others.
> I would argue however, that because VC's are holding the money and entrepreneurs are trying to raise, it might not be as bad as a boss/employee power dynamic, but the power is certainly held by the VC in the situation.

- The vast majority of highly successful companies don't raise venture. VCs need equity, entrepreneurs don't need money.

- The vast majority of companies that raise VC don't succeed.

- The vast majority of VC funds have lower than market returns.

I think the real situation is more that a lot of inexperienced founders glom onto VCs because they think that not having money is what's keeping them from succeeding.

There is also a common belief that the fact that VCs are predominantly male is creating a power imbalance that's keeping women from being more successful, despite the fact that the empirical evidence from other industries seemingly shows that there isn't much correlation between the sex of the gatekeepers and who they choose to back. E.g. LP is pretty gender balanced and most VCs are male, most literary agents and publishers are female but most published authors are male, etc. If there were more female VCs then it's possible that more women would get funded, but I think right now that theory is more of a truthclaim than anything else.

My opinions:

More play testing would have helped a great deal, IMHO.

I played it for about 20 minutes. It seemed an okay game with a really awful user interface, and if they had ditched that mechanic they might have found themselves making something a lot more fun. I would up rage quitting in frustration over how artificially hard it was to control, thinking "These game designers hate their players, and it's a shame because they have something interesting hiding here."

Maybe I quit two minutes before it became a glorious game. That doesn't excuse the terrible experience I had at the beginning, though.
I suppose that's a viable approach, but I'm genuinely curious: if you're going to go to that route, why _not_ use Redux? Besides, the wrapper components generated by the React-Redux `connect()` function help serve that purpose of encapsulating store subscription and interaction, and keeping your real components agnostic of where the data is coming from.
They must be making a lot of money to be able to do something like this. I understood it to be millions of dollars.
Not so far as I know. Intel is suggesting people measure in million transistors per square millimeter, MTr/mm^2.

GloFlo 7nm is at ~17MTr/mm^2

Intel 14nm is at ~37.5MTr/mm^2

Intel 10nm claims to be ~100MTr/mm^2

These are now "14nm class", "10nm class", etc... the number no long really relates to a meaningful feature size, as I understand it.
I don't believe this is an un-solvable problem. I do think that having closed lists/groups where this can be made public is also an option - like say, Female Founders group. People can also be encouraged to share the experience and the judgement can be made by those reading it.

It is useful data that, unfortunately, too few of us are aware of, and are thus condemned to the same fate.

I am fundraising, and wish I knew which sleazy firms/investors to not waste my time with.
"I am deeply sorry for using my position as an investor to take advantage of the female founders who came to me and my firm seeking only our help and support. What I did was cruel and wrong. The harm I've done to myself, my firm, my reputation, and my family does not compare to the harm I did these women. As a man, I will never truly understand what it feels like to be the victim of these transgressions. I can only say how sorry I am, commit to getting the help I need to change, and hope that some day I may be able to make amends."
Found this poignant. I made the decision to immigrate from India to the US in my early twenties. At the time I looked at the decision merely as a change of address. Thirteen years later I am still struck by how much of a profound change a "mere change in scenery" can have on basic issues of identity.
One of the points of email is that it is asynchronous communication. You can even respond in batches like RMS does. While everyone's email workflow is different, it would be a mistake to assume that email was ever designed to be used as an instant-messaging-style communication tool.

IRC exists for a reason.
There could be many reasons. In order to run simulations at my work, I request databases of input data and results of previous experiments. Each experiment is 1-100GB of xray images and dumps from other instruments. Mostly the experimenters dump the data they don't need, so often my team becomes the only possessor of the raw data. It would be convenient to have an off-site backup in case someone rm -rf's the drives.

When I was younger I worked at a recording studio. Each song consumed about 10GB, and it was convenient to return to the sources at a future date once the mix was delivered to the artist. Each artist recorded about 10 songs, and in a year we could do 50 artists.

I can't imagine what animation and video production houses go through per day. Having a backup is completely necessary for these folks. I could go on, but I feel 17TB is pretty common for businesses, so I'm not sure why you're asking the question. These days you can get 17TB for only $700.

The total advertising figure is irrelevant, most of their revenue comes from Search advertising where users are proactively in the context of seeking specific information at the point where relevant ads are most lucrative.

The only revenue being sacrificed is being able to deliver less contextual ads in gmail, they still know a lot about you so they'll still be targeted ads so their sacrificing marginal contextual targeting vs peace of mind in a large corporate market which are hesitant to use Google's G-Suite products because of their concerns that their emails are being scanned.

Google is smart, if they're doing this it's because they've calculated the increase potential in G-Suite revenue is more than the marginal loss in less contextually specific ads in gmail. Other factors that play a role in the decision is better branding in that Google is no longer spying in your private conversations to sell you targeted ads and the mitigation of potential lawsuits.

This is interesting because it gives them a huge incentive to prevent this from happening again, if it costs them millions of dollars each time. I wonder what changes they will institute?
"Conscious states include states of perceptual experience, bodily sensation, mental imagery, emotional experience, occurrent thought, and more. There is something it is like to see a vivid green, to feel a sharp pain, to visualize the Eiffel tower, to feel a deep regret, and to think that one is late. Each of these states has a phenomenal character, with phenomenal properties (or qualia) characterizing what it is like to be in the state."

...

"Here, the task is not to explain behavioral and cognitive functions: even once one has an explanation of all the relevant functions in the vicinity of consciousness — discrimination, integration, access, report, control — there may still remain a further question: why is the performance of these functions accompanied by experience?"

-- I'm not getting why this is suppose to be "hard". Any information processing system would have internal processes, ones that reflect current and past input, "raw" and suitably modified. A sophisticated information processing system could be expected to have observations on its internal processes too - just a server might have logs, processed logs and what-not.

I mean, all of this is important to us because we are it. Any autonomous system would be more concerned with its internal processes than random things. So for such a thing, a brain or even a self-driving car, it's internal processes have a unique place - inside of its memory.

" Why do not these processes take place "in the dark," without any accompanying states of experience? This is the central mystery of consciousness."

-- Because each information processing system only processes its own information? It only "sees" its input, not some other system's input.

Of course, I'd say that such reasoning seems plausible because humans have a strong tendency to project our experiences on other human beings and to imagine other people having our experiences and vice-verse. So we experience only our input (rather tautologically) but imagine others having our experiences, imagine others imagining us having their experiences and so-reflexively via "mirror neurons" and such.

But beyond that I think it seems "hard" because we value these experiences so highly. Having it all be banal and obvious seems to devalue it. And that's about it.
"Everything" hasn't become sexual harassment. I've dated coworkers. I have been rebuffed by coworkers. I have even been under the impression that a coworker might be into me who was not. And--somehow--I have not been accused of sexual harassment. Maybe because I am respectful in my approach, cut it out if it's not appreciated, and never persist past being rebuffed.

The "misunderstandings" about which you wring your hands are weaponized against women in the spirit of "don't be hysterical". You're not being moderate when you express viewpoints like this. You're just rationalizing bad shit. And, judging from your sterling work throughout this thread, you know it, too.
Low latency satellite internet 2019?
Very cool. I just played with it on my iPad, and except for not having a way to do a right click (left click and drag to scroll panes seem to work) it was usable.

I don;t have time to do it myself, but an option to use a touch gesture in the bottom left corner to make other mouse clicks be right mouse clicks would make it fairly nice on a tablet.
It's the IT department he should be selling it to.

It sounds like exactly the sort of service they should be providing.
This really depends on how many stop loss orders were there and how users are refunded. I.E. will people be refunded in current price of ethereum or in the amount their stop loss order was set to be executed on?

The number could be fairly manageable.
>you say molecules can't be selected for because they're not organisms

You misunderstand. My point about organisms was that selection happens at the level of organism, which was an imprecise way of saying organisms are what either procreates or dies, and so this is the level at which selection events occur. So any purported selection at a different level must have some organism-level proxy.

The statistics of what survives and what doesn't can still show effects happening at different levels. So when I speak of gene selection, I'm speaking from a statistical perspective. When I said that diversity isn't itself selected for, I meant that there is no strictly "diversity" selection happening at the level of organism.

>You also never responded to the fact that humans are colonies

Yes, humans are "colonies", meaning that we show cooperative behavior. But I don't see how that's relevant, at least in light of ways to understand the evolution of cooperative behavior at the gene level.

"The impact of adult ADHD on marriages can be terrible for couples with one or more partners with ADHD. Research suggests that the marital “maladjustment” rate may be close to 60%. Statistics on the divorce rate for those with ADHD vary, seemingly depending upon the age of the respondents in the study. Studies with younger respondents don’t show statistical differences in divorce rates, while studies with older respondents show an almost doubled rate of divorce." (I almost definitely fall under the "older" category.)

Yeah, at least one outage in the last year for us included the paraphrased "anycast is hard". There's definitely an advantage to limited-blast-radius services, but I wouldn't trade GCS's multiregional buckets for S3 CRR (the same applies to Datastore, etc.). We have strict reliability requirements for global services; our perspective is that some customers want regional control for regulatory reasons, and we're happy to meet those requirements. But composing a global or even multi-regional service on an untrusted, lossy network is "crazy".

Again, Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (and this network existed when I got here!)
Couple things they could do:

1. Rejecting the orders that will wipe out the order book.

2. Doing something hedge-fundy. Becoming counterparty or running the darkpool that let's other people jump on that.

3. Do nothing - there is now an incredible amount of limit orders from people kicking themselves for not doing something like that earlier (I've got a few:P).

Exactly. Google seems to be of two minds about privacy. They want to show that they protect your information from the rest of the world, but they expect 100% knowledge of your information in return, so they can sell it to their advertisers. I get that that's their business model, which is why I dropped them completely in favor of paid services that don't sell my information.
Does US have right to data on overseas servers?
I am all in favor of more training for avoiding social engineering attacks, stronger encryption and security for all devices and networks, and generally making digital systems as robust as possible - and then keep investing resources in these hardening activities.

The really sad thing is that so many people, including my congressional representative who I contacted on this subject, just don't get it: securing our systems is on par with fighting terrorism and conventional defense capabilities, and should receive the same resource allocations.

It goes without saying, but I will say it anyway: encryption backdoors will severely weaken efforts for economic growth and for defense.
