Whenever people get sufficiently used to streaming, I suppose. Cable TV/Internet and Satellite TV used to be new technology too, but now we consider them more communications and entertainment.
I've been thinking about traveling for a few months, while just coding random stuff on the go, making some art, work on my personal projects and perform research.

Poor internet access would be an advantage for my focus as well. Sounds really fun!

One item the author should add is "Ask employees and managers one question: Does our performance management process provide value to you? What could be done better?".

By all means, if you can't use a website without becoming addicted to it, disconnect.

But there's no need to damn everyone else with the "that's exactly what an addict would say" kafkatrap rhetoric that seems to be so popular every time the topic comes up.
> like the table accidentally shifting because my dog ran into it.

Damn - just how cheap are the table saws you buy?!

/table saws tend to be fairly heavy, and don't typically move unless you really lean into them - a dog is not likely to move a table saw (and honestly shouldn't be in your shop, either)
Amazon appears to be intent on attempting to do so, and may even make it pencil out. But it only makes sense if your logistics/warehouse network allows you to be within a day of all/most customers by a "ground" delivery method. Not too many retailers can offer that.

Of course that's not true. For the government to prosecute all of those visitors requires additional proof, to be sure. However, for the government to gather evidence on a subset of those visitors who have already been arrested and are being charged with politically inspired violence, is perfectly appropriate.

both prices are built from speculation so both are extremely high risk, bitcoin's conservative rate of change caused the dominance from 80% to around %50. New features, developers and institutional support will be more important in the long run, maybe not to an bitcoin maximalist but for the normal investor

> This a completely arbitrary exemption.

Laws -- including constitutions -- are in some sense arbitrary.

But actually the distinction between political belief and sexual orientation makes a ton of sense and is not arbitrary.

Avoiding discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is super easy and clear-cut.

But it's very hard for me to imagine a world where political belief is a protected class. The category is just way too broad and encompasses basically every legitimate reason you might want to fire someone or turn down a customer.

Every restriction I can think of (e.g., party affiliation) is weak to the point of basically being pointless ("I fired/refused to serve you because you support abortion and because you support theft of my money via taxation, not because you're a democrat").

So although I really do believe that 99.9% of people should not be fired for political beliefs (as long as those beliefs don't interfere with the work place), and that 99.9% of financial transactions should proceed regardless of political beliefs, I still don't think it's workable to make political belief -- writ large -- a protected class.

If we're going to outlaw firing people for political opinions, it might be much easier to just end at-will employment all-together. And if we're going to outlaw discriminating against customers on the basis of political belief, we might as well just force businesses to accept every non-fraudulent client. I don't really think anything less than this -- but which still achieves "no discrimination based on political belief" -- is practically implementable.

So, in my mind, that's the major non-arbitrary distinction. Discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation has a clear bright line. Political discrimination not so much.

And all of the bright line problems aside, there actually is a pretty big non-arbitrary distinction between being gay and being a Nazi. So we can talk about whether that distinction should be codified in non-discrimination law. Or even, in the case of Germany, in criminal law. But the distinction is pretty fucking non-arbitrary...

> Not in the US Constitution either.

Which is why it's legal for bakeries and others to discriminate against LGBT customers in over half of the 50 states. What's your point?
Couldn't Trump's Twitter antics allow a tremendous amount of profiteering through insider trading, and aren't Congress and the President basically immune from insider trading laws?
The lesson to take away from this regardless of your political leanings is that whatever power you give the state to go after a group you may disagree with will always, eventually be used against you.

It makes no difference if the target groups are alleged terrorists, alt-right, alt-left or or any other group. When you expand the power of the state that diminishes the privacy rights of the citizen that law applies to you, your family and your friends also.
I really don't like that phrase; you are NOT the product that facebook creates.

Facebook creates a product which is a social media network. You PAY for that product with your data and your eyeballs. Facebook takes your payment, turns around, and sells it to advertisers and others interested in the data.

That is not the same as saying you are the product.
This has been debated at length.

How Do You Move a Giant Sequoia?
Re-reading my comment I realize that the context was obviously missing, so here's some context.

The issue isn't that you or other users had that perception; that's natural, which is why I've posted half a dozen explanations of what actually happened, i.e. moderators didn't touch the post (other than in one routine way I described) and its prominence on the front page was because user upvotes dramatically outweighed flags. It was purely a community response.

The reason I used the word 'nasty' is because this user has a long history of insinuating that we're lying (("it's the algorithm", "it's the user", blabla)), when they have more reason than any other HN user to know we don't do that. I've spent hours personally, patiently explaining this to him over at least a dozen occasions where he has made stuff like this up (most often, accusing us of moderating HN to be shills for Microsoft, which is silly). Good faith doesn't act this way.
Flagged just means an overwhelming number of people don't want to keep seeing stories like this.

It's only attached to the individual thread, not to your account, so no worries.
I never said I didn't have the power to choose not to be a part of these groups. The point is that I want to be a part of them, and doing that without facebook is 10x the additional friction.

Yes, I could ask someone to forward me the notices, and activities, but how do you propose I participate in the discussions of what to do?

When the voting via facebook poll happens, how do you propose I make my voice heard.

Now, you could argue that facebook isn't worth it. (And that is a perfectly reasonable position to take.) But that is a different position than, "It's easy to make these things work without facebook."

Sexual Orientation, unfortunately, does not have explicit federal protections from all forms of discrimination. Though there are state-level protections, and there are a couple of cases that will be heard at the Supreme Court this year that claim otherwise (we'll see if those pan out).
I thought about this, but cell signal is normally not existent. I am planning an end-to-end hike of the Finger Lakes Trail (580 miles, 5-6 weeks) and there isn't cell signal for 90% of the trail. GPS signal works from a Garmin emergency device that I own.

Good question. Some are interesting, some are just useful. For SQL DW doing something like using Event Hubs Capture feature to trigger ETL into DW is really useful. And generally interesting. For Any datastore (SQL, CosmosDb, others) being notified of create, update, or delete operations is also useful and interesting. I think broadly speaking the three areas where Event Grid will be very interesting are for

Serverless: tie your serverless functions together with Grid.

Operations: make rich provisioning and deployment or scale experiences.

Enterprise integration: use workflow and orchestration services like Logic Apps to perform integration across cloud services, cloud providers, and on-premises.

Finally, the custom topics stuff really makes not just serverless, but any cloud application have some interesting possibilities for event and data distribution and publication.
Yeah it seems very similar to LFS, including the verbiage on the pages. Wondering if the same people are behind this.

I first used LFS to build my own distro back in college and that experience made me learn a lot about the components of the Linux system which is helpful to me even now. I used it again years later to build an extremely lightweight base for docker containers. Its very versatile and I hope this project helps people as much as LFS helped me.
You didn't answer my question, though. I didn't expect you to write letters daily either. How does the amount of time you spend on Facebook compare to the amount of time you could see yourself spending writing letters?

It's not as simple as total page weight - latency and server throughput are also important. AMP pages are likely served from a fast global cache with low latency from all over the world.
Seems like the path is increasingly to focus on creating your own short-form content first.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that you would suggest any ICO investor might let their financial position influence the way they talk about cryptocurrencies. These people are visionary investors who selflessly pour their resources into ICOs, not mere speculators looking to make a quick buck on a greater fool. /s

You make a really good point. I'm genuinely excited about blockchains and cryptocurrencies, but it's so hard to find writing about it that isn't thinly veiled asset pumping.
It's interesting - it's perfectly fine legally to discriminate against someone for being ugly. Isn't this terrible? Why is it worse to discriminate on the basis of race or sex?

I'm sorry, but get real. People use technology because it assists and speeds up areas of their life. For many people, facebook far and away is the most convenient way to manage their social life simply because they have the greatest adoption within their social groups.

Yes, we could "write someone a letter in the mail instead" or "ask a friend about the events on facebook" but that would defeat the point for the vast majority of us that aren't interested in spending hours managing our social contacts and calendars. You're not really giving solutions when you suggest things like that.
I thought something similar before but it doesn't feel correct.

$7B... let's see, with the astronomical amount of money Netflix dumps into individual projects, that's what, 10 or 12 shows? :)
I think it would likely depend on the distribution of labor and expenses within the organization. Early on, Netflix (ignoring pre-streaming, mailed-DVD-movie days which I'm sure was an entirely separate metamorphosis) didn't produce any content but merely delivered existing content, leveraging technology to do so. I imagine the vast majority of the org and the expenses were on engineers and engineers' salaries. In that sense, certainly I think we can agree it'd be defined as a tech company.

Now, I'd be very much interested to see how the expenses and org makeup has shifted. I'd predict that much of their budget has been shifted to purchasing and producing content. The question then is, how much of their actual org is doing that work? Is that work outsourced? Are they merely spending money on contractors and production teams in LA/etc? Or is it in-house?

If they're outsourcing the actual content production, then I imagine it requires a small subset of the org to lead acquisition and curation of this content. Thus I'd lean towards saying they're still mostly a technology company. But if the vast majority of their budget is spent on content acquisition, then maybe it's more of a media production company at that point.

Another good heuristic for deciding what a company "is" is to look at the part of the business that once removed would redefine or cripple the business the most. What seems more valuable? A Netflix that only produces content that is then streamed through someone else that handles the technology? Or the Netflix of old that only streams content they had no hand in creating? Whatever's more valuable is most certainly the direction the business will go, and consequently gives you the framing for how the company would define itself.

And it wouldn't be logistically possible for most others starting out, either. Amazon has built out the capability over time, and I believe it now includes its own planes, trucks, warehouses and delivery staff.

I agree that promising and delivering on universal 1-day shipping may be one of the last ways to differentiate an online offering, but it either requires loosing a lot of money on individual sales or significant capital to build out the logistics/infrastructure yourself and hope the customers follow.
I agree. I think the fields of "computational cognitive science" and developmental psychology are the ones to look into to make progress towards the "hard fundamental problems". Some of the leading labs working on this are MIT CBMM (https://cbmm.mit.edu/, they have a nice youtube channel) and Berkeley Cocosci (https://cocosci.berkeley.edu/index.php).

Google Brain/DeepMind are also pushing some of those ideas. They must be, since they aggressively poach all the top researchers from those labs...

Ng approach is different: he wants a world powered by Deep Learning, so his goal is to make applied deep learning thrive. His strategy to do that: give those data-hungry models even more data, which is completely reasonable.

Those two approaches - fundamental research and applied deep learning - are often referred to as AI, causing much confusion.
Perhaps you will be surprised to learn that not everybody is living the same life as you.
I like the approach and think something like this is fun but i don't understand the businsess case at all.

School's okay and all but you can learn a lot from just youtube tutorials and google tutorials. You can start with a setup as simple as your cell phone + tripod and shooting outside during the day so you don't need special lights.

Make a short video and post it on youtube, then monetize that video. Make enough Youtube videos and other creators will hit you up / listen to proposals to work together or you can use it as a portfolio for jobs.
