Knowing that someone has evidence isn't the same thing as having that evidence.
Are there any good medium- to long-form recent works with valuable insight into the modern phenomenon of hyper-availble multimedia? Psychological, sociological, political effects, any of that? I'm reading DFW's part-literature-review part-independent-thesis "E Unibus Pluram"[1] and read his "Host" a little while back, and find myself wanting more recent examinations/criticism of our media culture of similar quality.

Exactly! this is terrifying. The law should be exercised by neutral parties, not the plaintiff. This is the equivalent of you being able to imprison a person in your house because they stole something from you.
The difference is Coinbase clearly announced their position that they will NOT honour Bitcoin Cash ahead of time

https://blog.coinbase.com/update-for-customers-with-bitcoin-...

Basically, they said "if your pregnant cow gives birth, we will not give you the calf. If you want your calf, take your cow away from Coinbase and keep it on your own pasture!" And their customers heard it, said ok I'll keep the cow with you, and when the cow gave birth they cried foul.

Sheesh, this situation is 100% predicable because Coinbase announced it ahead of time.
Let's say A had some theories, and said what they are, and went out and killed some people based on those theories. And let's say that B had some similar theories, and said what they are.

Rejecting A's ideas because those ideas led A to murder is somewhat defensible. It's evidence that there is something deeply morally flawed in A's thinking.

Rejecting B's ideas because they are similar to A's is shakier. B's ideas deserve a hearing on the merits. (Ideas have consequences, and A has shown what A thinks the consequences are. Those consequences can reasonably be considered part of the "merits" of A's ideas.)
Well, for starters, there's the image part of it: the higher the top-line number, the more prestige comes with that.

Then there's the potential that the founder has taken money off the table (giving up on-paper money for cash), so even if the deal isn't quite as nice as it could be, they still own a significant portion of a "successful" company.

Also, the higher the top-line valuation, the more free marketing you get (the headlines read the same, just with a bigger number in it). This can translate into an easier time of hiring, and the ability to hand out smaller and smaller slices of equity for that top talent (employees generally will never see the term sheets to understand that even their 0.01% of the company is likely to be worth very little).

Obviously some founders will optimize for the former (lower valuation for better terms); others will be more interested in ratcheting up that top-line number to attract future investors, high-value employees, book deals, press, etc. That's ultimately the founder's prerogative.
I'm aware vegetables are better.

This is very, very good for Walmart and competition between Walmart and Amazon online.

Walmart has been making an aggressive effort to recruit sellers. They'll use this mistake by Amazon to their advantage. It'll also open up opportunities for other platforms such as eBay and perhaps something that doesn't yet exist. This is a mistake of perceived power by Amazon, I imagine they're going to make a lot more of them in the coming years.
If you are so ready to consider speculative fiction as a roadmap or warning of the future, why not consider more thought out examples than Terminator? (which is definitely not "speculative fiction")

What about all the examples of completely useful or benign AI? They surely outnumber examples of "evil" AI but are easily forgotten as it is easier to remember the more sensational examples.

Well, fair for many cases. I believe he was a software engineer though, and that being the case probably has the privilege of missing work with little repercussions.

I understand where you're coming from though, the law is skewed heavily unfairly towards the rich.

In either case though, I believe the repercussions for giving away too much information in this lawsuit could potentially outweigh the repercussions of lost time at work or being fired. If I remember correctly, these "you fucked with BigTelecom" lawsuits end up with comically huge fines/settlements/legal fees.
As for what might explain the near-extinction humanity apparently once experienced, perhaps another kind of catastrophe, such as disease, hit the species. It may also be possible that such a disaster never happened in the first place — genetic research suggests modern humans descend from a single population of a few thousand survivors of a calamity, but another possible explanation is that modern humans descend from a few groups that left Africa at different times.

-It's unlikely that the Toba catastrophe was the root cause of the bottleneck as reasoned in this investigation:

https://www.livescience.com/29130-toba-supervolcano-effects....

- I wonder if the hypothesis of leaving Africa in small groups could be effectively tested.

i'm also working on the jobs problem (not in your niche however) and really don't find the idea of another job board very compelling. can i ask why you went that route?

in any case, best of luck! it's important work to be doing.

as a society, we should do everything possible to help people who make mistakes and want to get back on the happy path. (as a side note, i think punishment is way out of whack. we need more carrot and less stick for low-level offenders, and more stick and less carrot for white-collar crimes that affect many more lives, though it seems like you got a fair amount of stick in your case.)

Hey I’m Bas Kohnke, YC S14 alum and CEO of Impraise (https://impraise.com), a feedback based performance management solution. Having worked with different types of companies to revamp their performance management processes, I’d be happy to share some of our thoughts and experiences.

Internally, we run quarterly 360 degree reviews based on 3 questions: what should this person, continue, stop, and start doing. Each person comes up with their own goals and projects which they’re evaluated on. In between reviews we share real-time feedback so that people always know where they stand and what they can do to improve - in this way review results are never a surprise. Team leads also hold regular 1-on-1s and check-ins with each team member (at least twice a month).

A few things we’ve learned:

- Simply prompting people to share more feedback isn’t enough. Education on how to formulate actionable feedback and how to take and internalize received feedback is essential for it to actually be effective

- Strengths based feedback[1] is highly motivating

- Reviews should always be followed up with 1-on-1 conversations during which a development plan is formed

- Continuous feedback throughout the year is essential to keep everyone on track and ensure that people aren’t blindsided during reviews

- Continuous and 360 degree feedback can help combat bias[2] in performance reviews

- If reviews are results based, goal-setting should always include equal input from the individual and their team lead

There’s not a one size fits all approach to performance management, yet so many companies try to fit their organization into a standard model. Many companies are now customizing their own processes, picking and choosing the elements that work best for their size, industry, culture and the specific pains they want to solve. For example:

- Ratings vs ratingless reviews

- Anonymity vs non-anonymous reviews

- Reviews linked to compensation decisions vs reviews focused solely on development

- Companies allowing people to choose their own reviewers

- Results vs competency based reviews

For advice on the different performance management trends we’ve seen working, feel free to reach out to us.

The good thing about people with a criminal record: you know what they did! You will never know this of the people around you who got away not being caught. Do I know if my neighbour did not rob a bank 10 years ago? No. So working with ex-criminals can be an encounter with honesty.
Scientists Edit a Dangerous Mutation from Genes in Human Embryos
This Week in Firefox (Nightly): Issue 21
There's also the other side of the problem that you don't get to see as a passenger. Uber/Lyft drivers in a rush to get to their pickups drive like maniacs here in SF. I'm from a developing country and I'm used to drivers who disregard rules but even those pay attention to the surroundings - you can read them and know if they are going to yield or not. But having gotten used to the polite driving of SF a few years ago, I find it quite dangerous to walk my dog out now. I stick to interior roads and wait till I know for sure that the car would yield for me before I cross. Driving and Biking have become usually miserable as well.

My only request is that passengers don't encourage this by blindly rating everyone 5 stars. Take at least two star off for unsafe driving - not stopping at a stop sign, not yielding to pedestrians, not giving enough space while passing a bicyclist and at least one star for not following the rules - driving on the bus lane, double parking in the middle of a busy road, driving too fast on a 25Mph zone, not waiting long enough for the pedestrians to pass safe ...etc.

If the economics don't work out for the drivers, the fare has to go up. By keeping the fare artificially low and pushing drivers to accommodate too many trips Uber and Lyft are ruining the experience for everyone and in doing so are perpetuating the need for more people to use them instead of considering alternate transport modes. This, sooner or later, will ruin it for everyone.

Take it from me, America cannot handle a developing country style traffic. It requires a different set of skills. People here are used to predictable traffic.
Another good example, but I've definitely heard sellers complaining about ebay as well.

Ya, on my iPad, I've hidden YouTube from my daughter (3.5 years old) because of the garbage that's on there.

I find Netflix kids to be pretty good. I haven't really seen anything on there that I really disapproved of (some of them I tell her that I prefer she doesn't watch it - mostly because of the consumerism and materialist content, like in Barbie - , and she's pretty good at listening to me). She also has a couple of games on there that she can play.

But ya, the YouTube stuff is absolute trash.
The problem with UBI versus, let's say, single payer, is that buyers compete and therefore drive up price. In short they "defect" from the price the other buyers pay.

Think about patio and his posts in the past about increasing your rates. That's how it happens.

When you have insurance, then the buyer and seller can join forces to raise prices - that's called a moral hazard.

No, what I'm saying is by refusing to allow withdrawal of the "new" coins, they put themselves in the position to be sued because clients lose potentially a lot of free money.

It's an opportunity cost: if I missed out on some big trades while the price was high due to their decision to withhold the keys, I'm rightfully annoyed by it.

Of course leaving legality out of it, it'd also just be a smart thing to do because it makes their customers happy and maintains goodwill. Coinbase is fairly respected in the crypto space and making their customers happy during a turbulent period can only be good for them in the long run.

They will capitulate eventually. Same thing happened with ETH/ETC.
Is 72K a good salary for software developer in Berlin?
I was offered a contract yesterday as a senior backend developer in Berlin for 72k/year. I graduated two years ago with a masters in CS and have two years of experience. I would like to know if this is a good salary or not. I honestly feel that I could have asked for more and they probably might have accepted. I had the feeling that I should have asked for 84k. What do you think?
I'm very familiar with those folks, thanks.
Also, email me if you need to talk about this. Sharing thoughts about this kind of stuff always helps.

Also, what happens with future forks? There's a 60/40 split to start. Ok, fine, drop the 40, keep the 60. Then that splits a while later, 55/45. Now your 55% of 60% stake is less than 40% of the original.
This is what Walmart has been doing for quite a long time. They will essentially take any return and charge the vendor for it.

My mom used to work as a bookkeeper for a garment company and the owners were thrilled when they landed Walmart. She said dealing with Walmart was a full-time job and they were ruthless in their tactics. They started to receive a large number of returns, and Walmart would deduct the cost (item cost, shipping, processing, etc) from their payments owed. I believe she also said they were Net-90. So you basically ship them 3 months worth of goods and you're left holding your dick for a while.

Most of the items they received back weren't in saleable condition, so it was a loss. The company owners decided to let Walmart deal with those items instead of having them shipped back. It turns out Walmart was donating those items and getting a tax write-off. When my mom figured this out, she suggested that her company do this instead of letting Walmart do it. It helped offset some of the costs of doing business with them.

The point is, when you deal with a distributor like Amazon or Walmart, it can bankrupt you if you aren't ready to deal with the volume and draconian policies. So these small businesses are right to be pissed and scared.

>I'm by no means going to support government attempts to ban encryption

I don't think Rudd, Murdoch or May think encryption ban is possible or even effective at counter terrorism. It's about controlling behaviour.

People behave differently if they think they might be being watched. Self censorship is better than any encryption ban.
We are currently doing just that, in NY and CA. Their NY director of Workforce Development is on our Advisory Board.

The original iPod only worked with a Mac, there was no Windows version of iTunes and it presented itself as a storage device with the HFS+ filesystem.
This is my all-time favorite insight about journalism.

When I think about the gross incompetence of the average piece on e.g. encryption, it's good to remember that I shouldn't assume anything else is better unless I have a specific reason to think so.

It's also motivated me to start checking primary sources really aggressively. I may not know enough to do detailed analysis on court rulings, sociology papers, and the like, but I can at least cross-check basic statements of fact with the source. And shockingly often, they're just not true. The coverage of e.g. Trump's travel ban was often totally detached from reality - not even in politicized ways, but via simple "never even read the source" foolishness.

It's depressing to realize how much journalism isn't at all value-added over a zero-commentary list of facts or quotations.

You may make a different choice after years of being unable to do anything but give 100% of your attention to the child. Someone needs to cook & clean, or go to work, after all. In the "old days" you'd just cut your kid loose into the environment. Well, these days, TV and iPads are part of the environment, and YouTube along with it.

I'm not saying you wouldn't make boundaries. Boundaries are important. But that may also include a certain amount of time of letting the child "run free" with the iPad.
Hmm, I appreciate your comment because it resulted in me looking into it and learning more. However as a result I've found that such a blanket statement is slightly dangerous - the [1]investopedia article goes into some good scenarios towards the bottom under "Additional Considerations."

> there is a reason for regulation

Uber coming along has been a good reset for the regulations. There were a lot of ineffective and counterproductive regulations in place and I think wiping them out and starting over is a good thing.

Sarasota, FL is an interesting case to study. The traditional taxi companies complained about Uber in the city and rather than fight Uber, the city removed the regulations on taxi companies. So far, I don't think much has really changed.

As for the gaming of surge pricing, I think that's fixable. Uber just needs to think more carefully about driver incentives.

I meant "several times per day".
You guys should use the business model that the makers of Sketch use (Bohemian Coding).

You pay a one-time fee $99 to download the app with all available features and new features for one year (365 days). After 365 days, when the Bohemian Coding team builds new features you have to pay $99 again to get those features... etcetera.

It's a great business model because you get the best of both worlds (one-time, and subscription model). This gives you capital to get started, and bootstraps your company as the software matures.
No one would put money into a hedge fund run by holmes. Would you trust her with your money?

She stinks of fraud already. If she told me the fund was doing great, I would get suspicious that she was turning into the next bernie madoff.
My wife is a teacher and one of her students in grade 2 has somehow been seeing beheading videos (apparently on youtube but that seems nearly impossible) because they are left with an ipad for so long. I can't even begin to comprehend what that would do to the brain of a child.

First human embryo editing experiment in U.S. ‘corrects’ gene
This is confusing stuff, but there's no "deciding" if your coin is a BTC or BCC, the chain split and both exist now if you had a BTC pre-split.

The chains do not talk to each other in any way, so you can spend your BTCs and BCCs independently. So yes, free BCCs were given to everybody with BTCs.

Imagine it as if someone copied the entire history of bitcoin and just renamed it and started running on different nodes. That's basically what happened. If the bitcoin history showed you owned 10 BTC, then the renamed history shows you own 10 BCC.
That kind of sounds like Berkshire Hathaway. Or an private equity fund for that matter.

A business which owns businesses.

Amazon is taking the concept to the extreme in that it starts its businesses.

While it's a relevant point, the risk (in a probability * cost sense, to address your point about terrorists using a nuclear/radiological weapon were one available) of terrorism has to be addressed somehow or you're cherry picking one from a number of extremely rare but potentially catastrophic events to worry about. We're not spending trillions of dollars and thousands of lives on a War on Giant Asteroids, for example.
Robot Safecracking
I suspect it's less hard-coded and more a case of the algorithm realizing that there's a huge influx of riders every day at X location at Y time, and just auto-surges until there are a number of days without said influx. It's important to build a surging algorithm this way, as otherwise you'll have an awkward period of low prices with high demand that ends up losing you money in the long run.
