There is the artist and there is the artisan or craftsman. It's easy to confuse the two. Hitting a good forehand in tennis takes a lot of practise and skill. Lots of people can do it. There are thousands of skilled tennis players But people will fall over themselves to go watch Federer hit a ball. Because what he does is way beyond just skill. Its art. If you want to call yourself an artist just skill is not enough. When you understand that you automatically produce work that will get appreciation.

"Tali Yaron-Eldar, Israel’s income tax commissioner from 2002 to 2004, in 2007 founded eTrader, a binary options firm that targets Israelis, along with Shay Ben-Asulin, who also co-founded AnyOption, one of Israel’s largest binary options companies with revenues in the tens of millions of dollars. In 2011, Ben-Asulin was indicted by the United States for securities fraud, and last month he was convicted of fraud by an Israeli court for helping an Israeli credit card company, ICC-CAL, illegally clear billions of shekels of charges from porn, binary options and gambling websites, as well as conceal the number of canceled transactions."

AnyOption was bought by invest.com and the customer numbers bragged about in the STOX ico are those of anyoption.

A couple of things going on at once - it's hard for old guard companies to compete in digital marketing because consumers are being trained to buy based on reviews, price, and delivery times more than brand. And when you're spending $100M/quarter over a dozen brands all digital marketing is going to be brand marketing.

It also raises a question about conversion being a lagging indicator here. It's possible after a few more months of lower spend they will start to see consumers pulling back.
It's not clear whether this is old banner programmatic ads that were cut, or more sophisticated social data mined tracking. Assuming it was the former?

> but I never understand why the big LV hotels agree to host it.

Hence they tend to frequently change hotels. Some of the hotels (Alexis Park) would charge exorbitant repair fees for the rooms, and probably make at least some money for their trouble on the side.

Although some people just go too far, like throwing lit road flares into the elevators and sending them down to the casino floor.

They really do try to keep things in check though, as best they can.

Oh, and alcohol sales.
What is even more amazing is to start a web server from the Lisp command line (the "REPL"), and then change the definition of a function. The app will use the new function without stopping and/or restarting. And this includes the intermediate step of compiling the whole function!!

You can also update the definition of a class and then force all instances of this class to use the updated definiton... all of this while the program keeps running.

I always tell my friends to try some Common Lisp. The runtime environment is rather amazing. The exception handling system ("condition" system) is also another thing that is impressive on CL. It is so far beyond what Java (or C++) brings to the table, that it isn't even funny to compare them.
Not a complaint at all, I was just curious if there was any sort of "rate limiting", even if informal.
The credit isn't removed immediately when they hit that number, but stopped in that /quarter/, then gradually reduced. So if they play games with delivery dates, they can maximize how many people can get the credit.

Sure, go for it. I think this has been in the news a lot recently because Musk told government leaders to expect AGI as early as 2030-2040.

It's a bit of a ridiculous claim. One of the biggest AI competitions, ImageNet, expects to run for the next 12 years, and that's just for making sense of images.

Perhaps it'll be done in less than 12, however, the predictions of the ML community and Musk do not line up.

I suppose time will tell with regards to AGI then. I suspect we'll have another economic dip before 2030, and all this hype will die down before then. And, we'll remember this time as any other in the past when we predicted flying cars by the year 2000
I've often dreamed of coding up some kind of worm-virus, but instead of stealing data or demanding ransom or corrupting storage, it would just install uBlock Origin on infected computers.

Millions of infected people, with zero idea what an "ad-blocker" is, just wondering where all the YouTube ads went. And then, hopefully after a month or so of infection, companies realizing that their bottom-lines were unaffected, pulling out of digital advertising altogether. Previously-thought-of-as-invincible giant behemoths like Facebook and Google, just crumbling to dust over a short span of time.

Just a dream though.
Runtime definition (and redefinition) of functions was critical to the Lisp Machine's usage model. Since the entire environment was a single Lisp session, everything happened at "runtime", including defining functions. Most development, then, was done by interactively defining functions and trying them out. It certainly was possible to compile a source file into a binary file, and there were occasions when one had munged one's Lisp session to the point that rebooting and reloading the binaries was required, though those were relatively rare.

There are some pretty big worries[1] about tesla's plans for hitting the sales target with the Model S. I remember watching very sad stories on GM's EV car way back in the day.

Basically they want to sell 100K cars within this year this is ~5 times what they sold with the model X/S last year. Time will tell though...

IMO, one reason behind that is that the actual agents charge 3% no matter the absolute cost of the house. This does not make much sense since buying a 100k house sometimes involves as much work (if not more) as buying a 3M house.

As such, it is better for Redfin to operate in the markets where house prices are higher since the absolute amount of money they can save is also higher in these markets.
I have a friend who cleans up around the Bay. It's fairly common for him to find a safe that's been opened and then discarded as trash. (You'd be surprised at what floats).

Rents are pretty low in china relative to sale prices. In Beijing at least, you'll pay around $2k for something that costs a million to buy; I'm guessing Shenzhen is similar if not as bad. It isn't worth it for speculators to rent as renovations reduce value; apartments are bought unrenovated only, all previous owner renovations have to be torn out because no one likes or trusts other people's renovations. So a lot of empty apartments are waiting to be flipped, but, even though prices are sky high, sales volume can be very anemic.
Thinking about it, the Bell System break-up came after we got off the gold standard and running a trade deficit and I think many of these acquisitions are based on debt, including corporate bonds.

If you're waiting for Microsoft to give exactly equal resources to both C# and F#, you'll be waiting forever. Just like you'll be waiting for equal resources given to Visual Basic, TypeScript, PowerShell, VBA...

Equal splits never happen in a competitive situation. 60/40 splits are much more common, but here in this case, we have many first-party languages, so you'd expect a more complicated split, just as we see now.

My opinion is that .NET Core is the real bag of hurt here, not F#. Stop sticking your hand in that blender. Use Mono and open source F# until .NET Core stops changing the world on each release.

There were two big things missing for me that I was hoping to get tonight. First was delivery estimates. They have given general production numbers and rough estimates on when you receive the car if you order today, but existing reservation holders have no idea when they will have the option to purchase and/or receive the car or even the expected lead time between purchasing and delivery. Second thing missing for me was an idea of options for the car. There is still no real information on what options will be available for the car, when they will be available, and what they will cost.

These two issues mean there is still very little information for reservation holders. There seems to be a window of about $15k and 6 months for the cost and potential delivery date of the car.
China is a bit different: the real estate agencies that will show your apartment won't bother listing and showing it if it's under a certain price. They basically work together to drive up prices, which also leads to higher commissions of course, but there is also some government control as the agencies are all owned by princelings. You can't really hope to sell without an agent, so you can't drop your price even if you wanted to.

I'm not sure if India has a similar problem.

Totality is a completely different experience from a 99% eclipse. We are uniquely situated within the solar system in that the relative distances and sizes of the moon and sun mean they're nearly identical in size to us.

With a 99% coverage event, it is still daytime. You still need glasses to look at the sun. Animals continue behaving as normal.

With a total eclipse, day turns to night. Animals alter their behavior patterns. As the totality event begins, the corona casts flickering shadows over the ground. You can look at the sun directly with your naked eye, and observe nuclear fusion directly. On average, any given location on Earth sees a total eclipse once every 375 years, which, while astonishingly common relative to other locations in the solar system, is still extremely rare for a human lifespan.

It is equally bewildering to me that someone would not care about the opportunity to witness such an event.
Not sure what similarities you found in these two cars. For me model 3 looks amazing considering its price category, both interior and exterior. Chevy bolt looks like a cheap Chinese toy compared to model 3 in my opinion.

https://adcontrarian.blogspot.com/2017/01/p-to-online-ad-wor...

Digital advertising is rife with (what should be considered) fraud. Advertisers feel as though they are getting fleeced, and the advertising middlemen reap massive margins. The accountability isn't where it needs to be; there are websites that hide ads under other ads, still reporting displays for all ads per page load. I suspect moves like this one will help the ecosystem change for the better.

> Or to go further, would you think its fine for the tech community to blacklist people who voted for Trump?

It depends. If you wear a MAGA hat to work at this point, I wouldn't mind if you were fired for it. Keep that bigoted shit to yourself. If you wear that hat at this point, you're, in my mind, actively discriminating against certain parts of our population and deserve 0 respect from peers. I would want you out of my workplace. If you voted for him and keep to yourself, whatever. The important part is that all of my coworkers who traditionally have dealt with such discrimination don't have to feel it from you.

The other response to you basically the rest covered my point.

> That people can make such blanket statements about an entire political party, esp the party of Abraham Lincoln.

lol. What does the Republican party of today have in common with the republican party of Abe Lincoln? Seriously, I'd love to hear it. The Republican party of today is so far from what it was even 40 years ago, let alone 150.

> Not by the their political affiliation, not by their race, not by their sexuality, gender, etc.

If you were a member of the neo-nazi party, I would not want you in my workplace either. No political affiliation deserves respect merely because of its existence. If you align yourself with bigots, even if you aren't necessarily one yourself, be prepared to be treated as one.

I say this as someone who is independent; I think both parties suck. But if you're going to be a Republican who thinks that gays shouldn't get married, get the fuck out of my workplace. I don't want you here, and I'd guess most of my coworkers wouldn't want you here either.
