Founders: Don't be too surprised if a contractor prefers cash. Or a high percentage of the enumeration cash with little stock. You might calculate (future) company valuations and how to structure stock grants, the contractor might prefer a simple standard contract without extra clauses on grants.

I've worked as contractor for equity in the past. And advisor. And I've friends who did that kind of consulting, usually as favor, e.g. MySQL performance tuning. For me that work was extra to an already existing contract/work (one that covered my rent).

The most frustrating part were the emails back and forth on the equity. Not the amount/percentage, but the founder are (of course?) new to the topic, didn't know how to add that to an existing contract, added many "what happens when" clauses and I can only imagine every contract looks slightly different. To give an example: bonus equity when a certain series-A valuation is reached (because I've build the MVP that was presented to VCs).

>Access to specialized equipment by repair shops is not a problem.

This is already not true for independent auto repair shops. Manufacturer specific computer diagnostic tools can cost them tens of thousands each and often they don't have the same level of tools as the dealers.
Why do you need a car when you can walk? Why use encryption when you can physically hide things? The answer to these questions and more is that when it isn't about faster/better/cheaper, it's about improving quality of life. Be it increasing privacy, or removing undue burdens.
Probably the CPU/GPU scaling back because the phone is getting too hot?
But even exposing a brain to a visual or auditory input is letting an external environment inject random information into your brain, and that's not the kind of mental security vulnerability we worry about. Snow Crash notwithstanding.
Because a lot of people seem to think that doing the best for themselves will end up as the best thing for society, or for the planet. Adam Smith dealt with this from the start, there is an amazing moral alchemy in capitalism which allows for improvements in your own life to drive improvements in society, but there are caveats and limits. And ideologues do not like dealing with that kind of nuance.
Looks interesting, but there seems to be a built in conflict where you say it's meant for "long running", but then also reap these after 24 hours.

Can you clarify how they are reaped? Is it a straight timer, or only after X hours of no reads + no writes?
In a free, decentralized environment, you'll get jackals (tragedy of the commons)

That phrase "tragedy of the commons" has an interesting history! It's propaganda used to justify the privatization of common land, according to George Monbiot: http://www.monbiot.com/1994/01/01/the-tragedy-of-enclosure/
Maybe you should learn how to invert a binary tree and save your time instead of doing unpaid work for others.
What troubles me is not the permission to read, but to write. While potentially useful for a host of medical applications, this is a scientifically plausible proposal to create technology that will literally have the ability to control minds. While you might be comfortable with sharing intellectual property with a business entity, giving that same entity the ability to adjust internal motivation, or alter sensory input is a dangerous Faustian bargain. How much would you trade for free will?
I wish I could find this again, but I saw a similar thought somewhere out there about teaching elementary school kids with terrible home lives in rough areas. The sentiment was something along the lines of, "How am I supposed to teach them fractions when they're getting raped at home."

Rising costs of living are pricing people out of the system.

You can't have children, a home, a vehicle, access to education, health care, recreation, and artistic pursuits. Pick two or three, and maybe in the future you might be able to acquire others.

Oh and don't pick children, since you'll have to provide those to your child as well, some of them immediately.

My workstation was recently "upgraded" from a Window 8.1 workstation with a 4th gen i5 to a Windows 10 laptop with 5th gen i7. The extra RAM and SSD over HDD is great, but whether it's because it went from a quad-core to a dual-core hyperthreaded CPU, or because of the jump to Windows 10, the mouse lag is considerably more noticeable now. I've convinced them to upgrade my laptop again, but now this article doesn't give me much hope for my new work toy.
Silly comparison? So a Camry is not a successful car because people would rather own BMWs? Do you not realize Tesla has been intentionally making high-end, luxury vehicles, which are more desirable by nature?

Leafs and Priuses are only part of Nissan and Toyota, their stock obviously cannot fully reflect the success of those vehicles. And Tesla's stock is notoriously overvalued.

It's important to note:

> TileMill has shifted to an open open source contributor model and moved to its own organization, tilemill-project.

A shift which has come a year or so after the project was abandoned by Mapbox in favor of Mapbox Studio (the official, supported successor to TileMill).

TileMill alone is still useful for creating one's own raster tile set, as long as the application remains in working order.

However, last I checked it gave me tremendous issues running on Linux as many dependencies had become outdated.

Although, I haven't checked back in a while since I moved to Mapbox Studio.
It'd make exploits more difficult, but you'd still be able to upload your own code to do whatever you want.

The trouble is that instead of uploading "/bin/sh" you'd have to upload the whole shell which you'd want to run; instead of making a syscall for something that a normal kernel would do but this one doesn't, you'd have to compile and upload appropriate code (including device drivers) to get that done.

It'd be a "bring your own machine code" party.
Good point. This sort of waste is one of the big reasons for the (hopefully soon) shift to PoS rather than the current PoW.

A family friend had twins. One born before midnight, the other after (different birth days). When they got their bill(s) from the hospital they noticed they were charging room fees for both infants starting the day of the first born. The second child wasn't even "alive" (born) for the first day they were trying to charge for! What's also absurd is that the first child wasn't in the receiving room until after midnight anyways (since all three, two infants, and mother were in a delivery room until the wee AM hours)!
Issues managing and completing work? How does remote make those issues any different? Do we write code on paper? Does a manager need to physically direct us to our keyboard?

When I hear comments like this I roll my eyes because those issues aren’t remote issues, those are incompetent manager issues – issues that don’t get resolved by simply sitting in an office.

Management, communication and productivity are challenges regardless of work location. Why do many remote companies “make it work” while others fail? My theory is it has nothing to do with on-site vs remote. It’s a scapegoat used by insecure or incompetent managers who lead mediocre employees they shouldn’t have hired in the first place.

If your workers can’t perform in a remote environment, then they aren’t going to suddenly get better by virtue of sharing a ping pong table.
How to: Find a good Redfin agent.

1. Search local Redfin web site for agents who have done deals near your locale of interest.

2. Check internal reviews of agents on Redfin. Bad reviews don't get posted, so "chose not leave a review" on a transaction means either: a) client had unreasonable expectations, or b) agent performed badly.

3. Interview agents in person, and ask challenging questions. If you don't get responses that are either: a) correct and candid, or b) "I will get back to you tomorrow with an answer", move on to the next agent.

This recipe led me to a very good Redfin agent, working inside an office run by a very bad but "senior" agent.
You are going backward with the 'Internet Explorer' like buy-in. That approach would only be faster in one segment; everything else will be slower.

At the risk of looking like I take the "Singularly" at all seriously...(and putting aside the non-sequitur about Kurzweil having anything to do with Google's shipping software)...

The implication you're making is that because computers have weird little glitches that pop up to cause havoc every once in a while, then it must be laughable to imagine they could rival the marvels of human intelligence. What that tells me for certain is that you haven't paid much attention to human intelligence.

There are flat-earthers, anti-vaccine nuts, and people convinced we faked the moon landings. We'll happily argue for thousands of years over whether the kid a virgin had is or is not the same person as his dad, but not that dad, the other dad. Show me someone who intuitively understands probabilities, and I'll show you someone who incorrectly assesses how people understand probabilities. I'm pretty sure the odd bug here and there doesn't disprove the ability of machines to outthink us.
My uncle repairs appliances. A couple of factors that he's encountered in his years of experience:
1. Energy star compliance. Many of the pumps now use far less power but are more prone to burnout. Keeping a fridge door accidentally open too long is much more detrimental to pumps than it used to be.
2. Firmware. Never been an issue with older fridges but it's now another point of failure.

There's certainly many more but those are some of the most common ones he runs into.
> is linux randomizing is per exec ?

Not entirely sure what you're meaning to ask, but yes, Linux does KASLR and tries very hard not to leak pointer addresses from the running kernel to unprivileged userspace:

It's been enabled by default since the upstream 4.12 kernel, and usually well before that in distros.
Writing good code comments is a lost art.
That used to be true back when the CPU did all of the GUI rendering. But now most all of it is offloaded to the GPU. Any GPU that can render Quake 3 Arena at 120 FPS (and that's ALL of them even Intel IGPs) can wiggle a window around very easily.

Not sure about file opens. Simple applications like GVIM don't seem to have seconds of delay for me, but I know what you mean with things like spreadsheet or word processor files. I guess it is all of the unzipping and XML processing.

Low-flow showers and toilets are the bane of many people's existences. You might be happy with the "well designed" ones but a lot of people aren't. (Or don't have whatever the well designed one is -- my newly built office has had so many complaints with its toilets they're replacing them building wide, bets on how much better the new ones will be?) Some people will find solutions that would result in fines if found out. And it's not a new thing either: https://youtu.be/vMITcQUe-9M

Not sure what is meant by working gas can on the car... I personally just hate the gas hoses at stations which have the pressure contraption so I have to keep it physically pushed in to the hole and can't say let it start and clean my windshield, but it also has a hyper sensitive fume/fluid sensor so it cuts off if I try to have a flow over 50%. I love older stations with older pump hoses, no problems. Don't have to break the law for them, yet.

Clean clothes and home probably refer to some effective cleaning agents being banned because they're known to the state of California to cause cancer or something. I can't say I have that problem but I might not know what I'm missing.
If making money ever became critical, of course severely limiting or stopping free access would be an option. I've really enjoyed seeing the site grow over the years though, and killing off free access would almost certainly hamper that growth. Not to mention the effect it would have on the internet at large: Even more source requests everywhere! No one wants that~

You could do something similar with https://papertrailapp.com/ or something else that support plain text forwarding. The advantage is that it would also support encryption, that this one does not seem to support.

The advantage that I can see of this service is that it does not require any setup.

> Unikernels have no shells. Most attacks I’ve seen invoke /bin/sh to modify the system they are attacking. Without a shell the attacker doesn’t have this opportunity. This forces the attacker to use machine code to subvert the system, decreasing the likelihood of succeeding with the attack.

This argument is completely incoherent.

There is also a minor advantage mining ETH in that your hardware is kinda resellable afterwards. The motherboards maybe not, but the power supplies will be. Sooner or later when PoS comes in, GPU mining ETH is going to stop.

There's an argument that the cards will flood the market and won't have any resale value, though I'm not sure (plenty of people want the cards for gaming). In any case that's mainly applicable to AMD cards.

However, the reason I bought NVIDIA is at least I have 4x 1060's as a nice little CUDA box afterwards.

These are the best css properties to animate with

I'll add in that translate3d is generally faster than the other translate options. There's some good performance info in the post and it's worth the short read.

> These behaviors may be inconsistent across devices.

The image handling inconsistencies are very annoying. Here is what I've seen with several books.

1. When read on an eInk Kindle, images are small. (I can tap them to bring up the option to zoom, and zooming does work, but it is kind of ugly). For example, I've seen chess books where the diagrams are about twice postage stamp size, whereas in the physical book they are about 3 or 4 times as big in each dimension.

2. When read on the Kindle desktop application on Mac, the images are bigger. As far as I can tell when I've been able to compare to the physical book, they are the correct size.

3. When read on the Kindle desktop application for Windows, the images are small like they are on Kindle eInk readers.

4. When read in the Kindle cloud reader, they are the right size like on the Mac desktop application.

5. When read on iPhone with the iOS Kindle app, the images are small.

The main places I've noticed these are with chess books, where the position diagrams are the victims, and math books, where diagrams are the victims, and often also equations if the equations are done as images.
Yeah, there are other similar services (many of which do a lot more than Seashells).

The idea with Seashells was to have a zero-overhead service that was available to the public without signup (kind of in the spirit of a URL shortener: anyone can make a short URL with no hassle).

Password-based client-side encryption is coming in the next version (so you won't need to trust the server operator anymore).

This thread is sad.

There's good psychiatrists and bad psychiatrists, good and bad psychologists, and the pharm industry has done a lot of good for society as well as harm.

I'm not even sure where to start. Take, for example, psychologists: a lot of whatever progress has been made in mental health comes from psychology (quantitative measurements, moving away from monolithic, homogenous diagnostic categories, lots of research, even neurobiological research--hell, the head of federal mental health research recently was a psychologist with a neuroscience research focus); the pushback is often from entrenched MD political groups who play off the "trained doctor" stereotype. Pharm research, too, often complains about the overly simplistic disease models, but are required by the FDA to follow them in clinical protocols, further entrenching them (a different former head of NIMH has complained about this). Psychiatrists often are screwed by the health care industry, trying to care for the most ostracized segments of society (see the recent GOP health care bill, which basically gutted mental health care services completely).

These sorts of discussions are always frustrating, because they're full of armchair, backseat scientists who are all too-happy to declare bad science, etc. without any solutions themselves. Behavioral health is a very challenging subject, and slapping on physics, chemistry, or mech engineering as some kind of perfect model just doesn't work. The irony is that it's more challenging than those fields in a lot of ways; if someone could just drop down from their physics throne and solve all the mental health problems, it would have been done already. It's been tried, believe me, and what usually happens is they grossly underestimate the complexity of what they're getting involved with.

This is the #1 factor that pro miners look at. They pay between 0-3 c/kwh

The problem is that you have the difficulty going up, and the capital costs.

Track those three curves and you have a good sense of the window for profit.

This headline is simply not accurate.

It should say: hobby miners barely break even over a year after the rise in bitcoin prices if they ignore the cost of power.

However, the difficulty of mining has gone up so much that they are unlikely to recoup the power costs going forward.
This is hard, but perhaps even harder than you might think. I read an extremely long exploration of this concept a couple weeks ago. It's a layman explanation but it really does a great job of outlining the real complications of such a device. Here's the article: https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html

One takeaway that gives you the sense of scale: there are at least 40,000 neurons in 1mm^3 of the cerebral cortex. Those 40,000 neurons create around 20,000,000 synapses. You have to create a sensor that can capture a reasonable portion of those synapses to understand what's going on in that tiny section of the cortex.
I think it is.
