The problem we face at my company is that it's very difficult to get people to use these kind of tools.

My team is remote so we use slack and other apps all the time, but getting customer service or other depts to use a simple chat is difficult. Implementing something like Asana or Basecamp is impossible.

How did you implement those tools in your company?

3 years? Try 6. The last "update" was almost the exact same specs, except everything was soldered on.

Mid 2011

Dual-core Intel Core i5

2.3 GHz (2.9 GHz) / 2.5 GHz (3.2 GHz)

Late 2014

Dual-core Intel Core i5

2.6 GHz (3.1 GHz) / 2.8 GHz (3.3 GHz)

The only other difference is user had the option to get 16GB (soldered) RAM at time of purchase and the base price went up $100-200.

As someone who uses WhatsApp to communicate with friends and family overseas, I could potentially see that as a nice support channel for businesses. However, there are several problems I see. First, you can't have more than one account linked to the app on your phone.

Second (and correct me if I am wrong), there is no way to create an account associated with a landline phone that I can figure out.

Third, it would be nice if multiple users could access the same account from their devices. Even if used as a sales tool this would limit interaction to one person.

Finally, without an API this is walled garden approach. Without being about to integrate with existing support platforms it is basically useless as a support channel.

In the end, I would like to see WhatsApp have a "business version" and would most likely be a consumer of such service, but verified accounts seems like putting the cart in front of the horse to me.

There is no correlation whatsoever with the amount of talks in conferences and what's happening in real life.

If conferences were a metric for anything you'd assume most of coding in the world is happening in Node.JS/React/JS-package-manager-of-the day.

The reality is that the vast, vast majority of devs and code that's actually running the world are doing some combination of Java, C#, PHP, C++, C and COBOL. Those people aren't exactly going to conferences; they have regular old boring 9 to 5 jobs and are plenty busy trying to make shit work or diving in piles of legacy code or installing run-of-the-mill CMSes.

The whole point in Cryptos is they are fundamentally "backed" by the power of the network.

I don't see how Crypto using electricity is any more wasteful than Google searches using electricity.
Isn't this related to an upcoming feature[1] for businesses to contact (some may read it as "spam") you on WhatsApp?

If so, the verified colors being "green" or "yellow" is really a minor detail.

A better submission would be a story of the "big picture" about businesses interacting with WhatsApp users. (E.g. Will the unsolicited commercial interactions make the platform better or drive people away?)

>If you'd like to stop a business from contacting you, you can block them.

I'm guessing users are not looking forward to the day when the smartphone imposes yet another housekeeping task on them.

In markets like India (one of Whatsapp's largest) landline phones have been obsolete for nearly a decade now. It's not a forward-looking feature.

Tons of businesses in India are already using Whatsapp here in India. It's a huge and critical part of the economy now.

For me, one of the best things about bitcoin is that it is actually going allow a lot of arrogant economic dogma to finally be put to the test, including that:

- currencies must be inflationary or the universe will explode and people will save so aggressively that they will die of hunger

- printing free money and giving it to rich banks is a good thing and doesn't totally fuck the little guy

- monetary stimulus smooths out economic cycles, and totally isn't part of the cause of the ridiculous boom-bust cycles we are having now

> You fail, that's why you pivot.

I remember being a kid, and our family driving up I-15 in Idaho. We topped over this hill, and way down there in the distance, there was an overpass over the freeway. I remember wondering how my dad could aim the vehicle so well that he'd go under that overpass. Now, as an adult I know that he couldn't. He didn't try to aim that precisely; he just steered the whole way.

You can't (usually) aim your startup well enough at the beginning. That's OK. Steer. Sometimes the steering adjustments will be rather major. We call that "pivoting", but as far as I can tell it's pretty much the same thing, just on a bit larger scale.
I've found this is still the most practical way of running a Mac build agent. Other options are to spend thousands on a Mac Pro or MacBook, both of which don't really work in a rack (and I'm being generous by saying the Mac Mini does -- it at least fits in a 1U space).

Yes. Everyone should consider the consequences of a peaceful solution to North Korea's nuclear ambition. On a human scale it isn't going to be the success everyone thinks it will be.
Same story here! Well, I'm 33 now, but I faced a similar situation over the last couple of years, but has managed to pretty much get over it by putting in most or all of the above adjustments, getting plenty of sleep being the most important one.

I have also realized that sometimes, when I have really important and mentally requiring work to do, I stop caring about work hours and just follow my body's rhythm, which is mostly afternoons/evenings. That can make wonders to productivity. Absolute wonders.

Your original comment was categorically objecting to blurrier, intermediate pop-sci articles, not citing a problem with this specific one's failure to clarify the core dynamics driving the result. That all-or-nothing attitude is what I was objecting to.

I don't claim that this one succeeds at being a good intermediate paper, only that you shouldn't dismiss all such articles in preference for the ultra-rigorous one, as your original comment was suggesting.

If you think this one is failing to convey the key insights and/or worsens someone's understanding, then I would agree you should raise and elaborate on that point.

What feminist theory have you studied?

> with proponents of said theory

That you call those scholars "proponents" makes me pretty certain you don't know what that theory is[1], but were those interactions full of personal insults and arguments based on ignorance?

> You obviously do not.

What makes you say that? Being so rigorous, can you point to where I confuse the two?

What truly boggles the mind is how someone who professes to respect rigor can debate a subject they know absolutely nothing about. Forget familiarity with methodology or finidings -- you are clearly unfamiliar even with the research questions[2].

I get the sense that you're instinctively objecting not any actual arguments made, but arguments that you believe are made due to a false portrayal of feminism you may have been exposed to.

And, BTW, what is your hypothesis? That there is no social marginalization of women? If that's your (quite extraordinary) claim, the burden of proof at this point in time (i.e., given the extensive research of the past few decades) should be on you. If you wish to dismiss this extensive research, you'll have to do better than repeat the same tired hundred-years-old (at least!) quips about feminists being "illogical" and the like.

[1]: Answer: Feminist theory is the name given to the cross-disciplinary study -- in history, sociology, anthropology, literature and others -- of gender inequality. Therefore, I am not sure what you mean by "proponents" in this case. People interested in studying this issue as opposed to, say, you? If you are not interested, how can you debate this at all?

[2]: The question of nature vs. nurture when it comes to gender differences is not one of the research questions, and is largely orthogonal, though intersects at times. In other words, the claim that cognitive biological differences between the sexes are nonexistent or even necessarily small is not a claim made by me, or, to the best of my knowledge, by mainstream feminist scholarship

What do you mean by "accepting?" There are going to be millions of resource-less refugees when North Korea falls apart. The US already "accepts" North Korea in the way that there is lots of foreign aide sent there, and most of it gets gobbled up at the "top of the food chain." Adding legitimacy to a foul empire is not any sort of solution that embarks upon the path to positive change.

It's something women have told me. Women have good reasons; it's much safer to vet people online before you risk interaction in places that you go in your day-to-day. What I said should not be construed as a criticism of women's choices to date online. If anything, I think online dating is the way of the future; I just hope it moves toward decentralized models that give people more control of who they share their information with.

Ethereum is planning a switch from Proof of Work (burning CPU/GPU/ASIC cycles to secure the chain), to Delegated (?) Proof of Stake - people lock away some of their ETH holdings, some of those people are random selected to validate a block. They attest which transactions are valid, and put them in a block. If they're judged to be honest/correct they're rewarded with ETH in proportion to their stake. If they're found to have broken the rules their stake is not returned, or only partially returned.

PoS has detractors/claimed flaws, but it is definitely much less energy intensive than PoW.

Looks like grandparent probably meant g(x) = x/√(1+x²)

Looks like f(x)=x+x^3/5 gets you two decimal digits everywhere [1], and you could improve that with more terms in the polynomial.

Edit: you can derive f(x) by doing a series expansion of tanh(x)/√(1-tanh(x)²) about x=0, and Mathematica tells me the first few terms are

f(x) = x + x^3/6 + x^5/120 + x^7/5040 + O(x^9)

Thanks for noticing that!
As a side note: this framing is why I oppose subsidizing college in the US. Having a college degree is mostly a relative advantage, especially outside of STEM. We only need so many firefighters, so if we preferentially hire applicants with college degrees and subsidize college, it's kinda pointless.

Better is making sure that economic opportunities remain available for those without degrees, when possible. Make it illegal to discriminate against those without college degrees unless it's a bona-fide occupational qualification.
I can appreciate that. Unfortunately, here in the US most businesses still all rely on some form of landline number. For many, this is more a virtual number(s) through some VoIP provider. It would be nice to see WhatsApp integrate with some of the players in that market as an "add-on" feature to their services.

Market capitalization is simply units * price. It has nothing to do with companies (or stocks), specifically: market cap is a simple formula that provides the total valuation of a commodity.

I don't know enough to say with certainty, but I don't think it's that simple. The way I understand it, the script that loads Adsense does/did so at the end-user level when their PC loads the HTML and executes the script in their browser.

For what you are saying, I think it would be necessary for the original request to come from the site owner to pass through to the end-user, which I don't believe is the case. If that were the case, ad-blockers would have a much harder time determining the source of the content.
When a company includes in their TOS a clause that prohibits their customer to speak online negatively about their product, everyone draw the pitchforks because that's an unacceptable violation of the freedom of speech. Why doesn't it happen for the right to privacy?

Perhaps people feel powerless or don't care. People are also powerless against the food industry or don't always care about security. One of the roles of states and governments is to fix those situations.

Law makers should focus their efforts on strongly protecting the fundamental right to privacy. It should be made easy (and free) for anyone to challenge those abusive EULAs, TOS and other contracts that require end users to abandon their rights in order to use a service. If the contract is deemed abusive, the service should be blocked until the contract is rewritten.
I'm assuming that most of the runtime cost is in the actual DOM manipulation, so unless the JIT can inline and optimize those calls, doubly-interpreted code isn't going to slow down things much.

However, what they seem to be going for is a reduction of the time it takes to download and parse the code, so a specialized compressor makes sense. WebAssembly or the Binary AST proposal would change the calculation, but maybe it still works for them.
Nonsense. They aren't a "be all end all" by ANY means, but they absolutely carry some weight, at least with some people who might be reviewing your resume. For example, if your resume comes across my desk for review, I would take the presence of relevant Coursera classes as a positive sign. Now, there's no one class (or even combination of classes) which by itself is going to "get you hired" in and of itself. But they are signals which, at least to this reviewer, make you more interesting.

And to be honest, more than the content of the class itself, what I am looking for in a candidate is interest and drive. If I see somebody who is willing to spend the time and effort to sign up for, and complete, a MOOC, then I see that as a sign of somebody who's a self-starter, who's proactive, and somebody who is more likely to continue to work to sharpen their skills and broaden their base of knowledge.

Think of it in Bayesian updating terms... the presence of a MOOC is just one more thing to change the posterior probability towards "this is a desirable candidate".
