I am also not a lawyer, but I am stubborn.

What I would do in this situation is to write a response letter saying, "I do not believe your accusations have merit, therefore I will not comply with your demands. I am open to further negotiations, but I will not agree to withdraw any of my own work from publication." Then they would have to make a more reasonable demand, or actually file a lawsuit.

In their complaint and summons, they would actually have to make a case, and request some form of relief that the judge could grant.

And my answer to it would essentially be this: I deny all claims made by plaintiff.

This would be followed by a request for discovery, for all computer access logs wherein Zillow believes that I bypassed their method of preventing those who have not agreed to their terms of service from accessing content via their website. Then I'd let the statutory clock run out on that and move for dismissal. There is a miniscule chance they could prove that she accessed their website at all, much less show that she violated ToS in doing so.
I've done this for nearly every job in the past. However, since moving to the Bay Area, I would never consider quitting my job just to look for another. As one commenter below said, you put yourself at a disadvantage when you're bargaining for compensation.

I can agree that it's pretty difficult to find a new job while still working. However, most companies let you work from home nowadays. You can just interview during that time. Is it ethical? Who cares? It's business; the nature of the beast.
Oh no, they have to tell the publishers their new subnet. The drama.
It is also possible that the courts would rule that Zillow's particular terms of service are unenforceable, without answering the broader question about the enforceability of terms of service in general. That happened to Zappos in 2013.
>I'm arguing for asking easy questions, but then judging fairly harshly.

I agree with this. Better yet ask a multi-part question that has an easy first part and a harder follow on.
I do the same, although I spend far too much time on it despite such efforts. Totally blocking notifications from 90% of applications helps too.
Doesn't the same argument apply to the existence of business class? Since to a very large extent, what you're paying for in business class is the extra square feet of cabin space.
We put Dataflow and Flink in the "Unified Processing" since they can handle batch and streaming (as opposed to tools that only handle steaming).

We might add them explicitly to Streaming as well though.

You just made the same point that the article made. How many people will be able to use ARKit based apps when iOS 11 ships in September - all 64 bit iOS devices that Apple has ever sold.

What percentage of Android devices will get to use Google's AR solution? How many devices that have hardware capable of using Google's solution will ever see the OS update?

Post college I had a mentor that was in the real estate development business, not for McMansions, first time homebuyer and some developments in the next price point up (<$500K) in a major metro so I got to learn quite a lot about how this works. I am no fan of McMansions although my primary complaint is that many of them are just built so close together, not that their aesthetics are particularly bad. The style of home that I would build is not typically built by major developers like KHov or whoever.

Houses are a bit like software. Builders will typically have base plans and then depending on the price point a varying number of customizations that can be applied. The more expensive the home the more customizations offered. A really great thing about people buying McMansions is that they are all experts and know far more about building a house than someone who literally owns a company that does this. So people who sell to this demographic let the customer do a lot of driving especially on the interior. Builders can also mark up these customizations to increase margins. So really I guess bottom line here is that people want these houses. The architecture (or lack there of depending on your view) is carefully researched to appeal to people with the right amount of money to spend. Having watched this process from the builder side there seems to be little to be gained from trying to for design on to the customers as they don't want it.

I think it's a bit forward for criticizing the purchasers of these homes for the aesthetics alone. They wanted these homes and there is going to be someone who will provide it. I am yet to find modern art that I can appreciate but I am happy that others can. I love classical sculpture which I am sure someone would have a bit to say about if I stuck one in my house. If someone wants a non-functioning balcony (this I just cannot understand) to each his own. One nice feature these homes have is that they are all built together in large developments where I will rarely ever venture.
Delaney Introduces Bill to End Gerrymandering, Reform Elections
That's outrageous. Starting the death march before you even get an offer.
I'm sorry - that's not what I meant.

What I was trying to say was: "people who think (that team) is losing might be having a knee-jerk response to a (mistaken) link in their own minds between wage price floor theories and supply side economic theories".

No, I don't think they are the only two options and further I don't think they are related at all.
These are hydroponic systems, so it'll be distilled water, power for high-intensity grow lights (where stuff grown outdoors, at least in-season, gets this from the sun), nutrient solution (in an outdoor context, some of this would be "free"-ish, from soil, and some would be from fertilizer), plus lifetime-amortized costs of the grow setup: pumps, filters, etc. And all of that besides the water you'd have to ship anyway from wherever it's manufactured. Granted, if we're talking lettuce, it's like 95% water by weight anyway, and a decent percentage of what's left is carbon that's fixed from the air, so there's probably a shipping savings, but I still don't think this whole setup would be particularly cheap.
Give how small that whole area is, it sounds cracy to consider it an option as this would likely radiate much more than just the heights ... with wind it would nicely spread out to the whole area. :(
How to Find the Best Flyer Printing Services for Your Promotional Flyers
I haven't gone quite so far as to ditch my smartphone yet, but I now leave it on silent, no vibrations or LED notifications or anything. Whenever I check my phone maybe once an hour at work I see anything that requires my attention, otherwise I put it away. It's made me more sane, but I've often thought about ditching it entirely. It's sad that I feel like I might not be able to function entirely without it.
I wonder how performant, mature, and reliable this is.
Perhaps a work phone and a personal phone?
Which do you think will get more developer support - Apple's solution that runs on every phone shipped since 2013 or a solution that only runs on a relatively few Android phones?
It's a good question. I'm not well-versed enough in design theory to answer, but I'll offer my opinion anyway. :-)

The fins on a 1959 Cadillac are well-integrated (design-wise) on the car. It's a theme of the era and the car was designed from the ground up to look like a jet or a rocket.

The design elements in a McMansion are not well integrated (see the posts on the site) - they are added on as an afterthought because "nice houses have these things". There is no coherent style or design.

If I had to guess, I would say the "gaudy" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoni_Gaud%C3%AD !!) design of a Cadillac will be well-regarded for at least 100 years. I don't think the design of McMansions will ever be well-regarded.
Indeed. It would be nice if it were a choice between government by Science vs. Superstition, because then the answer would be easy.

In reality it's more like "psuedo-scientific mismanagement" vs. "mostly civilized confusion". Neither of these scenarios is particularly appealing, but I'd rather take the confusion.
> Yeah it's cool to be able to watch all this crap from my childhood, and a thousand great tv shows or movies, or hundreds of the best video games yet made, or browse endlessly for new music tailored to my tastes, or whatever, totally on demand—but maybe that kind of thing's just not healthy to have around.

I feel the same, although I have a hard time articulating it well. I think I'm slightly better at not watching hour after hour of utter garbage than I used to be, though.
> ... believed in these fundamental properties of the universe so strongly ...

That's correlation not causation; the iPads don't have 3D touch but still have cursor control in the default keyboard.

Indeed Apple tying 3D touch to cursor control on the iPhones makes me resent it more because they then removed the feature from the iPhones without 3D Touch.
Creating seat belts is innovation. Creating regulation requiring cars to have them and passing laws that people have to use them is not innovative.
Are you referring to the fact that if the region is dark green (more than 20%) for moving into the top quintile from the bottom, it necessitates that another quintile has a rate less than 20%?

The income quintile boundaries are set nationally, but the movements are divided locally, there is no such requirement for balancing in a single area. In theory, a single location could have 100% of people moving into the national top quintile.

Hi I found your post interesting. I'm a frontend dev myself for about 3 years and also with some full stack. I've been on the lookout for frontend engineers at the big4 & I wanted to know how the process is like? Is this CS heavy. If you don't mind can I email you? Thanks in advance.
An effortless hack which I've gotten a lot of utility out of: put your phone behind your laptop.

Out of sight, out of mind (and you can't feel it in your pocket either!)
Like most commenters here, I've found a happy medium (when I activate it). I'm no good at cold turkey and being without this amazing device is just impractical, but airplaning the phone routinely throughout the day really helps to cut down on "notification checking" and that constant background mental polling that this article talks about. I still like to have music (audiobooks actually) and navigation on hand, but knowing I have no notifications and knowing that there is just a tiny bit of effort involved in getting them seems to be my effective compromise.
So I don't get it. This girl sounds really, really petty, and the 99pi episode is probably their worst. So what if someone wants to build a huge house? How is that harming anyone else? If I were wealthy I would totally build a McMansion because I want it, I like it, and I would love to live in it. Who cares?
I wouldn't say that reading a book multiple times is wrong. People learn in different ways. One way works for some and another way works for others. Anyway, finding the interesting parts of a book is a good tip, one of the axioms of learning is that you'll learn much faster if you are interested. Building interest on the book/subject by reading what we find interesting is an excellent way to learn. Of course you have to eventually read what you previously found uninteresting. Hopefully by then you'll have enough knowledge or curiosity to get thru it. What helps is to constantly ask questions as you go through the book and finding the answers will help. Generally speaking humans need to solve problems to survive. Our brain gets a hit of Dopamine every time we get an answer. So, by asking why as we read, we'll be rewarded by learning.

My tip is to make sure you understand the subject. By putting it in your own words. A problem with reading is that it's easy to fool ourselves into thinking that we know something when in reality we don't. We need to constantly test ourselves.
Try keeping a sketch pad for quick illustrations or perhaps a notebook for poems. The world is filled with inspiration! Not only will you be more present, but you'll be turning your seemingly humdrum life into a work of art!
This is why I heavily push to talk to nearly everyone on teams at the prospective company that I might be a good fit for. I spend 3-4 hours talking to various people over the course of 3-4 weeks. If the company doesn't allow me to talk to their employees, then I pass them up.
I get what you're saying, but a phone camera is much easier to use than an SLR.

Early iPhone execs recount creation of original iPhone interface
This is what I expect 'iOS laptop edition' is. As ChromeOS is 'Android laptop edition' and Win10 already is Windows laptop edition.

With the addition of WSL to Win10 it makes it more developer friendly for me. Very much like MacOS always has been, drop into terminal and blam, there is all of UNIX.

And all of it makes Canonical's "one Ubuntu across three platforms" pitch seem pretty prophetic.

Very fun to watch excellent designers try these things out in the market.

Very much. Having Tetris and MacWrite Pro open simultaneously would cause a bomb, every time. It genuinely did wonders for my productivity.

I remember System 7.1 most for its purity of interface. Everything from 7.5 onwards seemed to be bolting on more bells and whistles in a faintly uncoordinated fashion, and OS X has continued that. 7.0/7.1 were simple, efficient and fast. Much of the featuritis in the last 25 years has been good, of course, but I would still kill to have the old Spatial Finder back.
That was what they had participants do in this study, and they still observed the effect.

CDNs aren't an either-or thing. It's common to fall back to a copy on your server if the CDN version doesn't load.

CDNs involve a big set of tradeoff choices you have to make, they don't make sense for every circumstance. I don't think I'd ever throw in "Use CDNs as much as possible" into an optimization advice list.
I realize that I am not typical, but I seldom even have my phone turned on, and don't even take it with me very often.

I was tethered to a phone for years. I am retired. I only take it if I am expecting to be idle. Then, I take it so I can browse while waiting.

It feels kinda nice, frankly. I am not a technophobe. It's just nice to not be beholden to my phone.

Oddly enough, instead of learning Japanese, I just use my phone less.
True 3D cameras are a massive pain in the arse

Either they are huge, to get two cameras side by side, or they have a half-silvered mirror arrangement (with colour disparity)

Add to that the rigs wobble (vomit inducing) and the distance between the cameras is far to wide, it all looks a bit poop, or requires a huge amount of post work to make fly.

So the normal thing to do is manually cut out each object (rotoscope) and adjust the divergence to place it in 3d.

every object, every frame.

it mostly looks a bit poop.

Not to mention is normally done quickly, like clash of the titans was converted in ~1 month.
MsMpEng (Windows Defender): Mpengine X86 Emulator Heap Corruption in VFS API
When I need a break from social networks, I just log out of the app/sites on my phone. Since most of my passwords are unmemorizable (and stored in a password manager), it's quite a bit of work to get logged in again. It's enough work that I'll put it off for a week at least.

>it was caused by MBAs who approved mortgages that should have never been approved in the first place.

But the point is the economists should have seen that was happening, so we could think about the government stopping it, or at least to put the public on guard. Instead the economics profession, with a few exceptions like Dean
Baker, told the world that things were going just fine.

I mean, what is the point of even having an economics profession if it can't help us make intelligent decisions on economic matters?

I'd argue that the iPad Keyboard Cover already represents a loss of the plot. Gorilla arm fatigue is real. Either Apple go whole hog and provide a trackpad in that keyboard cover (not necessarily enabling a mouse cursor mind you [1]) or Apple should sufficiently innovate their software keyboard so we don't need a keyboard cover to begin with.

Seattle is not a state; there are reasons to think that local minimum wage increases have different effects than statewide increases, which have different effects than national increases. Each time you increase the size of the jurisdiction, the opportunity for business to simply reroute to a lower cost jurisdiction (or entities not impacted by the smallwr-jurisdiction rule even if located in the jurisdiction) is reduced.
Let's End the GIF/JIF Pronunciation Debate Right Now
This is where I fall on the spectrum. I can understand someone wanting their house to evoke some notion of grandeur but really if it isn't functional the effort feels wasted to me.

That said, I have always felt ridiculing other people's taste to be fairly mean. And while there are/were some solid points in the blog about design and things that 'look right' and things that 'look wrong' it could often come across fairly harshly. And even if you disclaim that with "I'm talking about the house, not you." since the owner likes the house enough to own it and not change it, it really is kind of about them too.
