I think this is great, but I can see it being potentially improved further if there was a temporary overlay of the physical map whenever you hover over a destination.

Basically, I feel that completely removing the physical map is okay until you've picked a target. Then, having to click on it to be able to see what the route looks like (which streets to take, etc.) is higher friction than I'd like. Instead, imagine if hovering would give you a route overlay, and as you hover your mouse over multiple places you're considering, you're already aware of the physical directions as well.

Having to click back and forth feels quite constraining.

This is simply feedback on a way I think it could be improved further, not to take away from how good it already is.

It's also kind of interesting that you can draw some pretty strong inferences about neighborhoods once all the geographic cruft is wiped away. For example, from where I'm sitting in Midtown, Manhattan's east-side retail development bias is clearly revealed by a search for "Starbucks:"

22 Experts Reveal Their Top Performing B2B Lead Generation Strategies
Am I the only one that much prefers command line git to all these fancy tools for git? I'm more than happy with the power that terminal commands give alongside the visuals of branches and commits in bitbucket/github/gitlab etc...

Am I missing something by not using tools like this? I downloaded it to see if I was missing anything, and while it looks fairly pretty, I just cannot see the need for it. I have worked on some fairly large code-bases with many developers branching and committing and the good ol terminal has kept me up-to-date with what's going on. I do use the more graphical visuals in github/bitbucket as a reference to see how messy or clean the branching is and how far branches are straying from master or parent branches... but that's it.

Someone educate me.

What are the reporting requirements for a company undergoing ICO?

Do holders of ICO tokens have any say in the governance of an ICO company? Can they fire the founders if they are mismanaging the company?

What can they do to stop the founders from taking the money, and going to the Bahamas (Or spending it on their Uncle Tim's consulting business)? What recourse do you, as an owner of an ICO token have against that?

I've never had a serious answer to the last two points. The kind of transparency you tout is not the kind of transparency that securities markets currently lack.

OK, I gotta repeat this dead comment, because it's so good:

> Incredibly so. But I have realized that the large majority of Internet users today have no point of reference to that time because they were either not alive, where very small children, or weren't paying any attention to what was going on. But for a brief time, humanity was being uplifted instead of being loaded onto digital cattle cars. There truly is a threat here--technocracy is turning America into a gulag and it needs to stop. No, I am not kidding. It's not just the Internet, it's all the companies collecting massive data "to better serve us" that are creating the . chains.

> I'm just glad I experienced that early period. Sunsite at UNC was the greatest. There were many true humanitarians back then. Today, we have the growing evil of Google and the Never-Was-Anything-But-Evil Facebook!

Yeah, it's been very sad to see possibility crushed, and people pervasively surveilled and manipulated.
Because the people change. How do you hold the people of today responsible for actions of the dead? That’s another form of tyranny

Lift the oppressed but don’t oppress the rest for the past. Now, I don’t mean losing your cars and multiple homes as oppression. Not defending unfettered materialism

Thomas Jefferson advocated for resetting the Constitution and laws for the same reason. Why hold people on 2017 to the philosophy of 1776?

Stop thinking of it as hold government responsible and think about holding the individuals responsible

I am not familiar with this variant. However, in civil law countries you need an explicit waiver (like the CC-0 license), otherwise the duty to preserve attribution remains there even if the license said otherwise. That's because attribution is a moral right rather than part of copyright.
> Completely wrong.

I said like four different things (not incompatible/persuasive/Bulverism/should not have been said), and I'm quite sure you don't disagree with all of them, but I'm not sure what you do disagree with.

I certainly do not think that people are robots who operate solely on cold, unfeeling logic. That is not even close to a thing that I think, and I think I can vaguely see how you got that impression, but it's just wrong. I'm sorry, I sometimes trigger that impression in people, I know this but I'm not very good at avoiding it.

> In what way?

In what way would I like to be called out? "This is Bulverism" would be fine.

> Do what less?

In this specific case, Bulverism. At other times, other kinds of speech too, like slurs, gibberish, factually untrue statements. (This is not an exhaustive list.)

> I very much do believe they lack empathy.

Well, uh. Okay. Tangents upon tangents, but - do you think that because that's the only possible explanation you can think of, for why he said what he said? Or some other reason?

I note that your stated beliefs about my internal experiences do not match my actual experience of my internal experiences. Does that make you less confident in your beliefs about Jess' internal experiences?

> I believe this push for speech to be "nothing but a pure factual statement, akin to a programming statement" to be part of the problem.

Again, not even close to what I'm pushing for. (For example, "it should not have been said" is not a pure factual statement.) Also, I'm not sure what problem you're referring to.
I agree with you in principle. The problem is that status quo encourages very short term thinking that has caused a lot of damage. I think it's at least worth toying around with longer-term incentives to see what can come out of it. I'm not super excited about 5 or 10 year vests (especially 20 years into my tech career without an FU nest egg), but it's a far lesser evil than non-competes or astronomical real estate (the latter being the thing that will likely drive me away for the sake of my family).
Yeah, I don't think you'd even have to run out of money. There are plenty of companies generating a fair amount of cash flow that hover in the dangerous territory of < $3 a share. It only takes one bad quarter.

Here's an example of a company that generates cash but only recently is in the safe-ish territory:

(Not that I think they are emulating Amazon, mind you, just making the point that you can have a going concern, and still get delisted.)

More broadly, unless you have an amazing business, you probably shouldn't emulate Amazon (or Google, or FB, or any other business that is depending on free cash flow to fund R&D as opposed to generating profits).

You're wrong. Watch the two documentaries called 'High School' and 'High School 2'. The way schools are structured absolutely do kill, in almost all cases, any persons desire to learn, along with their general spirit and enjoyment of living. One of the documentaries, I honestly forget which, is of a school that decided to try instead centering every single class on critical thinking. Instead of teaching by fiat, the teachers gave the students the tools to question them and encountered them as intellectual equals, two thinking human beings one of whom simply had more knowledge in an arena than another. When they didn't know the answer to a question, they'd admit it and try to figure it out with the student. It took a poor Latino neighborhood school and created the class that set the record for number of students to go on to receive a college degree - across any school in the country.

But it's hard to teach if you have to treat the students like people, and teachers for the most part go into it because they were very good at manipulating the arbitrary meaningless systems of rules at schools when growing up, then got scared by the whole 'you have to have reasons' part of reality so fled back into the school system as teachers where no reason was needed. No hats indoors? Sure! It's law! No shorts? Or maybe mandatory shorts? Whatever, nothing matters, they're just kids you can restrict and regulate them all you want to make your own life easier, no one will stand up for them!
How large is the property bubble in China/commonwealth countries? What could cause it to pop? I ask because this is something I've talked about w/ friends and is very difficult to pin down. As a casual observer it seems like real estate assets are inflated, but not overleveraged, and there is no clear mechanism for a bank run/margin call scenario such as 2007-8.
Yeah, we treat girls and boys drastically differently from birth, mostly without noticing, and then people say it must be hardcoded that they act so differently. It's a puzzler to me. I hated being forced to wear dresses when I was little, too. They were scratchy uncomfortable and it made it hard to run around and play because I had to worry about whether people could see my underwear. I had to sit in a ladylike way with my legs closed, for the same reason. So given that I was regularly forced to wear a dress, which also forced me to sit a certain way, involve myself less in active play, get used to wearing uncomfortable things because they looked nice, how can anyone think that the fact I lean more towards these feminine habits now, compared to someone who was not forced to do these things, is a natural outgrowth from my biology? To me that seems to have been pretty obviously trained into me. Even in cases where I wasn't explicitly forced to adopt feminine habits by my parents, there is a lot of lateral socialization that goes on between kids, who have also received gendered messages from parents, media, society and other kids. Boys often didn't want to let girls play the boy games with them, so if you wanted to make friends as a girl, you had better be up for playing the girl games.

The useful insight about DuckDuckGo, which the author misses, is that even with 0.1% market share, a search engine can be profitable. Search ads are valuable, because they appear when someone is actually looking for something and likely to buy. Almost all other ads are merely annoying interruptions.

DuckDuckGo isn't even a full search engine. They don't crawl the whole Web. The heavy lifting is done by Bing and Yandex. That allows DuckDuckGo to have coverage without much infrastructure. That's what makes the business possible without too much expenditure.

This is a false equivalence. Yes, the individual soldiers shared commonality. But your implication that the Cold War was just a story line doesn't align with the facts. Read Solzhenitsyn. Look into Hungary 1956, Prague in 1968. To dismiss the Cold War as just a "story line" is the shallowest of arguments that flies in the face of history.
That is true, though in practice it would mostly be true that destinations sharing similar travel times and similar directional vectors would typically be close to each other. If you didn't already have some general knowledge of the area, you'd probably notice the complication of a freeway when you "zoomed in" to the standard map view.

They (government) also could spend the unemployment benefit towards training people instead of just giving them the money.

Spend your time learning something that isn't subject to fads. In five or ten years, React will be a distant memory. Just like all the PHP frameworks are now.

Focus on getting good at the web platform standards. I personally jump at any opportunity to learn new web platform APIs, graphics techniques, design patterns, data structures, and different business domains, and stay away from technologies that are fad-driven.

Get good at a few basic tools and focus on application development. It's not about the code its what we make with the code.
Careful, it's not more expensive for the company, just the financiers. By investing in this SPAC, you're basically willing to 1) eat the fees to bring a unicorn public earlier, and 2) and actually participate in a potentially "hot" unicorn that you're trusting Chamath will find.

For the company, you get to go public at 1) just the reverse merger fees which is significantly lower than IPO fees, and 2) at less time than going public (basically 1-2 months for the merger to go through)
I have the Garmin 230 and like others have mentioned, the battery life, always on, and its supposed to be a bit more accurate GPS wise than the Apple watch. But I'm not sure if it matters too much unless you're training and really need to be spot on, but know there will always be little differences between any gps watch.

I run with both watches just to compare distance, etc. but one of the main reasons I got the Apple watch 2 was for the GPS and ability to store up to 2GB of music. This way I can stream my music while running onto my Jaybird 2 wireless headphones. Another cool and funny thing is that while running one day, with the Nike+ app, when I hit a certain distance, Kevin Hart started talking and cheering me on. I thought that was pretty neat and kinda motivating. I'm sure they have other celebrities doing that as well, but just a little something.

I also noticed on Apple watch, the Nike+ app doesn't have metric for Avg. Pace, it does show Current Pace, Distance, and Time. Every mile it will speak and tell you your Avg. Pace. But there is the Workout app on the watch that does allow you to see up to 5 metrics for Current Pace, Avg. Pace, Heart Rate, Distance, Duration, Active Calories, Total Calories. For me I like to have Current Pace and Avg Pace shown together along with Distance and Duration.

Now with the Apple watch 3, I do like being able to leave your phone behind in case an emergency does come up and someone needs to contact you, but I can also see how a random non-important call can throw off your run/workout session.
Well, it's easier to see the distribution of distances. Knowing something is the 3rd closest is less useful that knowing it is actually 30 minutes away.
Reason #37,758 that centralized communication services are, at the very least, suboptimal, and at worst, are a matter of life or death.

More generally, we need to stop supporting client-only systemts. Cell phones, for instance, could have a fallback peer-to-peer mode, if the carriers would allow it. Unfortunately, being a choke point tends to make more money than building resilient systems.
Mobile development. And as I said, it's getting there. JS is being shoehorned in everywhere, and most of the job ads I'm seeing are requesting web tech in mobile developer ads.
For future reference, here is a procedure for finding an alternative source for stories such as this.

1. Go to the submitted link. It will give you the first paragraph or so.

2. Pick something distinctive from that and copy it. I picked "Samuel Straface".

3. Google for that, and filter that by last 24 hours.

There will usually be another source in the results. Sometimes it is a separate article covering the same underlying story. Sometimes it will be another paper or magazine reprinting the submitted story, which is the case here:

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/wall-street-journal...

which is a reprint of the WSJ story.
Genetic males have an X chromosome, so they have everything necessary to make ovaries. The issue is that the Y chromosome has the SRY gene [1], and that single gene is more or less responsible for kicking off the whole process of developing male genitalia in a fetus. That gene can get displaced off of the normal Y-chromosome and onto an X-chromosome resulting in XX Males [2] or XY Females [3]. Both conditions invariably result in sterility, though outwardly they appear mostly normal (XX Males externally look male, XY Females externally look female).

That said, the fact that one gene seems to have so much effect suggests it's plausible that in the future we might be able to do something to make those individuals fertile, or to enable genital reconstruction surgeries for transgender people that enable new fertility.

Note that much of this may be oversimplified, so any experts can feel free to apply some pedantry to the finer details.

It varies from coin to coin. For example, I prefer to steer clear of coins like XRP which are governed and managed by a central authority (in this case Ripple, Inc.). Something like Decred, on the other hand, has a very interesting governance model[1] which will be proved out by the market.

Many of these projects are open source, so you can audit, compile, and run the source yourself. There's nothing to stop an owner of cryptocurrencies from going to the Bahamas anymore than there is to stop the CEO of Google.

"Post Job -> Magic Happens = Perfect Candidate".

Well that's helpful. Don't see any indication of this "magic" is. I know, I know, once you know the magic it's not special anymore... but I think I want to know what the hell is going on here. At least break it down in really simple terms. You don't have to spill your secrets, just give me a hint.
Truly an impressive concept, but I didn't find it to be particularly accurate in Los Angeles. I searched for Mexican food near me and nearly all it could find were Chipotle locations. While I like Chipotle, this isn't quite ready for primetime. Not sure where they're pulling the restaurant data from, but it definitely isn't Google Maps, nor Yelp.

This is actually an extremely common case with public transportation:

There are two channels of buses going N-S in the city, and both channels meet downtown. From downtown, two locations can be about equally distant in travel time northwards, and nearby in E-W distance compared to their N-S displacement, but they're separated by a freeway and lie on different N-S channels, and so the E-W distance takes as long to commute (by foot or transit) as going downtown and back northwards would.

The author implies that a citizen army would lessen the leadership's appetite for offensive overseas campaigns.

Interestingly enough, the bulk of Israel's army to this day is composed of drafted 18 year olds, and despite that, the only time there was a major public outcry about the necessity of a military campaign was during the first Lebanon war (1982). that war was perceived by the public as a reckless regime-changing adventure by a particular general (Ariel Sharon).

I assume that the IDF's decades long policing mission (=occupation) of the West Bank along with the periodical campaigns in Gaza & Lebanon do not generate an outcry of similar size, presumably due to the much stronger indoctrination level of the Israeli public, as opposed to that of the American. There is a general consensus around the absence of a less violent path to coexistence in the Middle East.

to this day, I've been a supporter of reforming the IDF into a smaller professional army with the express purpose of making it more difficult for the state to apply foreign policy using force, with the added benefit of keeping unwilling citizens outside of the cycle of violence.

The article, however, implies that the US has achieved the ability to increasingly "project power" by detaching its military apparatus from the society as a whole..
