Listened to the first 8 minutes of this, in which I learned that:

1.) People don't do their homework before moving to Japan, and now they're very frustrated, and

2.) Teaching English is a business.

... and literally nothing else, just repeating those no-shit-Sherlock points over and over. Incredibly low information density here. Maybe there's something more damning at the 30 minute mark or whatever, but if these don't give the impression of being terribly respectful of the viewers' time.

Bear in mind ads is just one revenue stream. There are times that ad market has collapsed and prices dropped. Having a second (or more) reliable and recurring revenue stream makes solid business sense and allows them to move away from soem of the crappier ad practices.

Many people think the same thing about illegal Mexican immigrants. But I've lived in Arizona, and I got to know quite a few. Most were hard working. I met a few willing to bum off the system. I also met quite a few legal citizens that bummed off the system. So I think your fear that the illegal immigrants will be receiving help from the state is unfounded.... unless of course they are denied working opportunities because of their origin, in which case, yes, I'd say there's some cultural compatibility issues (on the end of the local citizens).

As for your second point... does Great Britian allow in more migrants than other countries? If not, and they experience more terrorist attacks, that would suggest that it's not the migrants causing it. I could be way off the mark here, and I would appreciate any scholarly links on the matter.
Actually in terms of finding if job site is useful for me that listing is nice. Quick scroll and I see there are no technologies that I use. No .NET, C#, Entity framework.
Using a second language is very cognitively demanding, and it takes a while to get over feeling stupid; that's all the more reason to climb that hill quickly, and integration (especially language) programs at a university can help. I studied abroad at an elite school in France with very little French language experience, and I would have loved to have had more social opportunities (the students were very heads-down and the class structure didn't encourage socialization as well as U.S. universities) for exactly the reasons you cited, not to mention better support for learning the language (the school had a conversation partner program, but not much else).
Nope. Never been the case.
Native speaker - I have the same gut instinct on the connotations. But, the term 'isolationism' refers to an intentionally policy of isolating oneself (a nation, presumably). Solitude is close too - but I think would mean complete separation from everyone, even like-minded people. Like Superman has his fortress of Solitude, and it's not filled with other Supermen. As far as I know.
I've signed up! Thanks!
The brake is an internal force though (the force and its reaction both act on the bicycle). The whole unit's only external forces are from the fans so that's all it can use to translate. That and bumping into things.

Impressive specs. And it looks like Mobileeye is inside every self driving car I've seen.
I would be fine if MPC just received standard updates to its 3rd party components such as the LAV codecs/splitter and such, because so far MPC-HC is the most stable, fast, and 'proper' video player available. A lot of people talk about VLC, but VLC doesn't even do proper color reproduction most of the time, while MPC just always 'does it right'. You can even load in your own splitters and codec components, like DirectVobSub. With MPC-HC, second you click a video, you're watching it, and its the standard of what to run for home entertainment already. Perhaps I can forsee issues with future codec compatability, such as h265, but I'm unsure if thats all handled in LAV, or requires some custom code to get it to display in the program right.
Good for them. But my understanding is that local cops can still seize an asset, declare that it was really a Federal seizure, have the money assigned to federal government, then the federal government gives most of it back as a bounty. The whole program seems to be a way for the Feds to encourage local police to follow federal priorities rather than local priorities and sadly I'm sure the current attorney general will be looking for ways to do more of that.
White people in university also tend to hang out / study exclusively with other white people. Why is it only the Chinese students who get a bad rap for it?

It's kind of the same in reverse - does a parent encourage their children to embrace a risky sport/activity (karting, skiing, diving etc.) or keep them in the safety of home for fear of accident or death? We wouldn't have F1 or IndyCar drivers, ski jumpers, etc. if all parents were too protective. It's difficult to find the right balance and to give a perfect recipe and it would be impossible to eliminate all risk.
Not just Quasar, but pretty much any high-level concurrency framework (Akka uses it, too). Doug's algorithm is lock-free (except in some marginal features, that are not supported and not relevant for the Go implementation anyway) and displays exceptional scalability even on machines with a large number of cores. AFAICT, Go could copy Doug's implementation completely.

Hi!

Thanks for your reply! I have signed up with https://lastweekinaws.com. I am pretty new to devops and am interested to know which tools to learn and which are more baked and stable to take a plunge in. I am not so much into the latest and the greatest.

I was looking more into blogs / sites where they share their painpoints / experiences or teach about various tools etc.

Awesome job with your site, btw! Thanks for putting it up!

And i would like to connect with you and if you are fine, learn from you - as i am new to dev operations! How do i connect with you ?
I am saddened that you base your opinions on your personal experience. You are right that Mexicans are hard working. Their average IQ is unfortunately low, but they are hard workers. Every group is different. For example, have you heard of the Parsi? These are geniuses living in India that fled Persia a long time ago. They are just 60,000 persons but have many billionaires among them, many Harvard/MIT/etc professors, and so on. Each group is different, why that is I won't go into on here. All I can say is Europe is receiving the worst bunch they could imagine.
As someone who has worked on building two paywalls and still involved in them, please bear in mind a few things.

1. Publishers have ability to configure access on paywalls as they see fit.

Whether based on referrer, UA, and a whole host of other attributes, history and so on.

2. Publishers don't care about a degree of paywall evasion.

Studies show that people willing to pay will pay, and those who go to great lengths to evade won't ever subscribe. The question is then, do you want to waste expensive developer resources in an arms-race against ppl who'll never give you a cent, or do you want to spend that developer time enhancing the experience for those who will subscribe.

3. Full locked-down paywalls are known to be bad.

Publishers still want to ensure their content is in the public conversation, and that means their content has to be accessible in soem form - or you strategically choose to follow a different business model. See: https://techcrunch.com/2010/11/02/times-paywall-4-million-re...
Thanks for sharing your experience. I've been to Japan a few times and absolutely love it. I hope one day, I'll get the opportunity to live and run my business from there. Do you an email where I can reach out? I'd love to learn more about your business.

My only experience is as a tourist observing the workers and it does look as what you described with longer hours and great importance placed on work but that companies will also reward you with loyalty. I've also heard that hiearchy and respect is important. I feel like there could be certain values that could be extracted as part of Western society - we recently had a retailer reporting bankruptcy and being unable to afford the pensions/severances of employees but somehow the management team was retained and were provided with decent bonuses. Something seems broken there.
How is the startup scene now in Japan 2017?
But few people ask for soft skills, and no one tests for them beyond noting it if you do something wrong.

"Must be an excellent communicator" - unless they notice you have a hard time talking to them in the interviewer they don't check for it. They don't ask you to write an email for something, or create a presentation, or explain some difficult technical concept to a non-technical person, etc.
I hate to get pedantic, but with the misuse of terms for the purpose of demagoguing against those with more capital, I feel compelled to point out that an employment relationship is wholly contractual, and therefore not a "tyranny", and perfectly consistent with a completely democratic society.

Maybe the author means "egalitarian" or some other concept tangentially related to democracy. Voluntarily formed hierarchies are perfectly consistent with a free and democratic society.

But points to the author on hitting people's emotional buttons with her victim/outrage politics.
You may have a person who is more sensitive in some ways, but you don't get addiction without some form of developmental or shock trauma - I've never seen it, and haven't met any professionals who have either.
This was my observation too. Actually you see this ethnic-based clustering with others too, but it's just that the Chinese stick out more cos yes, there's usually more of them in STEM subjects. They're also not afraid to openly converse in their own language, even in class projects!

Sometimes I think that locals can do more to interact with them. Their presence is also our opportunity to learn from them. There's a lot of prejudice (Chinese people cheat for example) which surprise surprise, if you mingle more, you'll realise it's as stupid as saying white people like to party all the time.

Ultimately we group together to feel safer. If you approach one with a friendly face, you're likely to be received with appreciation and intrigue. If not...well what exactly have you got to lose? Don't let bad experience shape your prejudice though.
Man, most people have horrible microphones.

Lesser predictors can actually help in ensembles, so long as their errors aren't highly correlated with the better predictors.
> How has no one done this before?

Lots of crowd funding projects have done this. Just look at the Jolla Tablet [0] if you want a concrete example of a company using backer's money as an interest free loan without delivering anything. Fortunately for Jide backers, they're actually receiving a refund. Jolla has been giving their backers excuses for why they cannot return the funds for the past 2.5 years.

I started using this kind of expanding agents in 1985 or 1986, it was AFAIK originally developed in Japan under the brand name Bristar:

Come to think of it - in air you're constantly bumping into things - air molecules. I think it could technically be possible to steer in zero-g within an atmosphere by pure rotation (e.g. consider that a fast-spinning object is kind of a (crappy) fan).

Another good idea would be to make the assets property of a third party which does not affect the budget of the department or offer bonuses. Perhaps direct attribution of cash assets to social security/medicare or some similar bottomless money pit, and the direct attribution of all other assets to a professional auction house or pawn. This would prevent the federal government from offering the same incentives that the state government did before.

The purpose of asset forfeiture (if it's legitimate at all) should be, first and foremost, to prevent crime.
if i am doing regressors, I use weights: like .7 xgb .3 lgb. I think its because they have their biases but the biasses are not completely correlated. This is one of the leading strategies in the kaggle competition for zillow logerror, check out this kernel:

When doing classification, I use several classifiers and get their scores rather than prediction via 20 fold xvalidation. I then use a random forest on top of the scores to get the final prediction. the random forest can figure out when to trust one classifier over another

Hardly. Glassdoor shows that people really want to consume that information, but the one glassdoor provides has bias, is insufficient, and lacks precision.
Retro Computing News to Close – Retro Computing News
dmlorenzetti & bryanlarsen both make the core point I try to get at in sibling comments to this one but I'll also dd that I think there are some useful things underneath your two specific examples:

1) I think a company that really epitomizes the point you are trying to make here is Slack. They seem to value diversity and inclusion more than any other SV company right now. This has probably helped them be successful, but to me it seems like they care about this value above and beyond the effect on their business. They want to make the world a better place and will expend resources to do so.

Conversely I slick of PayPal back in 2000. Levchin has spoken explicitly about how they valued hiring a team of people with very similar world views and how that helped them avoid wasting time arguing and instead focus on execution. I've also heard stories about how engineers would literally wrestle to solve disputes[1].

These sound like very different companies! I can imagine people that would relish working at the former and hate working at the latter (or vice versa). Both quite successful though.

2) WRT building before you check in that obviously brings me back to FB's "move fast and break things." I dunno about breaking the build as I've never worked there, but I definitely know that for the longest time FB was very very cavalier about breaking their external API. From one perspective that certainly sounds like a bad thing, but on the other hand maybe that "move fast" part really was a big part of the key to FB's success?

Perhaps some of the things that you think are absolutely wrong are just wrong according to your particular values. You should obviously want to work at a business that aligns with those values but perhaps there are other businesses that operate the opposite way and that oppositeness helps them succeed.

The system in the (cool) video is in contact with a table.

The table exerts a "normal" force on the cube, allowing a change in vertical momentum. If the system in question is the cube alone, this is an external force.

This method could be used if the drone were cubic and near a wall of the space-station, by kicking off of the wall. That could get it moving, but until it hit the opposite wall, there's nothing it could do to stop.
The "Communist" party's name is just a relic from the early days when they had Soviet support. China has a state-capitalist economy now, high ranking party officials are among the wealthiest Chinese.

Those rich kids driving luxury cars in the US would be driving the same brands in China; the ruling class doesn't have much of a sense of modesty that would speak against flaunting their wealth in this way.
I would argue that mpv has pretty much a similar feature set like vlc. I use mpv to watch youtube videos. And expanded it with a lua script to be able to zoom in. Its pretty crazy what is possible with mpv nowadays.

Hey! There's no reason why you can pretend it's wrong or offensive that someone has a preference or fondness for one person over others. There's no rule that says people ought to like each other the same, and nothing wrong that they don't. Don't be so narrow minded, and try to make someone's joy or love wrong! You doing that is the wrong thing and must be called out. How dare you, seriously! On the news of someone's death to say that another expressing their sincere sentiment toward that is not good enough because it didn't include a reference to all other suffering. You pretend to be sticking up for suffering, but by trying to rob legitimacy from a subjective appreciation of one instance you rob it from all. Do you not see! Ask not for whom the bell tolls. The whole point of feelings is they are subjective. You have no power to judge these people and their emotions have nothing held over them by your scroogelike pronouncements. Be gone from here abject troll or cleanse your vile mouth before next you dare to speak!

> The entire crowdfunding platform is absurdity;

Not sure what you mean by this. Out of the 35 projects I've funded (some of which are games), only 2 have failed to deliver, and I've felt cheated by none. If what you say is true, I'm a better gauge of success than VC's picking startups that will be successful.

Maybe the problem isn't crowdfunding, but your expectations of it and how you go about judging whether you should give money or not.
I posted it because I was curious about different opinions about this. I know nothing about teaching English in Japan. I can say, though, that the second half of his video is general rant that mostly does not reflect the truth. Video is from 2015, I assume is not older that a year before posted... All of this claims about cash only transactions, about people staring at you in the bar, about being isolated, about distance, about being boring. Seems a BS to me. Maybe he is just angry because his dream appeared to be a real world and not a castle in the sky.

I mean, this is how crowdfunding works. If you're not willing to risk getting nothing in return for your money, then don't crowdfund. You need to evaluate the people proposing the project before deciding to trust them with your money. There should be no expectation of a refund if the project fails.

Side note, though — awesome to hear that Soylent works for you. Because, as you said, this _is_ the story I've heard most of the time. I don't like in an area where I'd ever stumble into someone that even knows what Soylent is, so a flip side to these stories is always good to know.
