That's right. Whenever I start to feel this way (and it does happen from time to time), before I complain I remind myself that I don't ever even think about routine car maintenance or yard work, the taxes and their due dates and payments. I never have to get rid of (or cause!) dead rodents or unplug the toilets or remember to dig out the hairball accumulating in the drain. Everyone's got an emotional or practical mental load; it's just easier to recognize your own.
I am not a huge fan of Steganography in images. There are far too many services out there which take the liberty of modifying or re-encoding your images to a different format for various reasons.

Is there a lossless medium which can be used for steganography?

Unless I'm mistaken. I don't think the 'world has moved on'. As an example, I believe Eclipse Che (a relatively new project with a decent UI) uses GWT mixed with a little bit of Typescript.

I could see Page saying that. Urmson seems to have been the one who took the Waymo technology from "sort of works" to "works reliably". There's a long, slow grind phase of testing, logging, and dealing with more unusual situations before the technology is ready for deployment. Levandowski tends to skip that part, as with the Otto demo. One can see why he got along with Kalanick.

Levandowski comes out of this fine. Google can't sue him. Google has an employee contract which forces employee disputes into arbitration. That arbitration has already happened and can't be reopened. The settlement terms are not public.

The LIDAR design is a side issue. There will be lots of good, low-cost LIDAR units as soon as someone is able to order a few hundred thousand of them. Continental's flash LIDAR will probably be the first successful mass-market flash LIDAR. Quanergy made a lot of noise, but never shipped. Now they seem to be pivoting from automotive to border security. (They want to make Trump's border wall a virtual one.) Tetraview has funding but no products. Velodyne has been making flash LIDAR noises but hasn't demoed yet. Innoviz has demoed an experimental unit and claims to be selling it. Meanwhile, Velodyne is trying to get their rotating devices down to $500 in quantity.
Manually written parsers allow the programmers to have better control over error handling, error messages, and the overall architecture of the parser.

As the other commenter said, it has nothing to do with elitism. Research takes time. Calling people takes time. And god forbid you have to call a government or medical entity, you might be on the phone for hours.

Do you realize how hard it is to get a straight answer on how much things SHOULD cost with regards to housekeeping, lawn care services, plumbing, tree services, roofing, foundation repair, and the list goes on? Sure you can call the company and ask, but are you getting ripped off? Now you have to call 5 companies and compare to see what the average price is and where you might get the best price. There goes 45 minutes of time (if you're lucky).

Plus you have to vet these people. If they're going to be in your house/yard handling your things you want to make sure they are trustworthy and possibly licensed/bonded as may apply. So you go down the rabbit hole of yelp and NextDoor and Thumbtack and whatever else you may find only to read about things that you didn't even realize you needed to be worried about. Well, there goes another hour.

Finally you have to actually call them back and schedule. Does this day work? What do you need to do to prepare for them to come? Do you need to be there? Who needs to take off work for that?

Its just... a lot. Its a lot of work. And keeping track of what needs to be done and when and your husband won't use a damn google service so you can't just sync calendars and he won't even look at the one on the fridge anyway is just exhausting. There's a reason why one of the highest ranked reasons for strife in a marriage is an imbalance of housework.

I actually do hope that my comment reads as anxiety inducing as I think it does. Its a lot, and it feels stupid at the time to even have to do it. You think we don't know that we seem like over-anxious worriers? We're in 2017! Why can't we have automated this? But then I'd have to be the one to figure out what automated service to go with and determine if we can trust it to not rip us off and figure out what their customer service is like if something goes wrong, ad nauseum.

Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) – Steemit.com is Becoming an ICO Platform
I think about this often. I'm a hardware designer (digital design asic fpga), so in theory I could help here. I don't really know what was special about the lisp hardware though... As far as I could tell it was mainly about helping with the type system and getting that to run at a reasonable speed on hardware of the day.

So I've dismissed the idea of a custom processor. It just doesn't seem to have much value vs using ARM or RISC-V or x64.

I've thought about the kernel aspect, but this mainly seems like drudge work. reimplementing stuff that's been a solved problem for a long time with linux. Not to mention drivers, which would be a massive massive effort.

So I sort of settled on the idea of a lisp based userland. That seems at least feasible.

I don't really understand containers well enough to understand what exactly is exposed to a program you are writing. I've heard you can run statically compiled programs without installing a base distribution. So maybe that would be where to start.
Maybe he can come up with a better pivot of it.
> Except that all the top law firms hire exclusively from top law schools

The top law firms employ small percentage of employed lawyers. And not even a huge percentage of graduates of top law schools. And aren't even the kind of work some people going into law want to do.

Confusing “what you need to get a job at a top law firm” with “what you need to be a lawyer” is like confusing “what you need to get a job at Google” with “what you need to be a programmer”.

> And the legal field is generally oversupplied with lawyers so if you don't work at a top law firm you won't be making a great living for a long time.

If you avoid undergraduate and law school debt (and especially if you are a paid employee instead of a paying student during your legal education), you can make a great living at a substantially lower salary than if you don't; and olif you do a legal apprenticeship, you come out with real-world experience most law students won't have (and quite often a job in the office you apprenticed in, if it was a law office and not a judges chambers.)
There is a fourth path. Levi Strauss.

Don't get me wrong. The gold miners needed jeans and supplies. But Levi Strauss lived off them and not the reverse. So the fourth path is service providers: lawyers, accelerators, accountants, contractors, ..., even VCs to a degree. I think Silicon Valley has a competitive advantage in having the best but it is a different path. And as much experience as they have when I talk to them, they haven't done it themselves.

Well, most haven't. Ben Horowitz knows. Some know but most don't. That doesn't keep them from doing an awesome job. It's just a different path.
I quite like the relevant ad suggestion there actually. I would be surprised if there was an ad network that could give consistently relevant results?

* interesting problems to solve

* a great hiring process

Internet’s Biggest Frauds: Traffic Tsunamis and Usage-Based Pricing
There would be no day 3 or 4. The US knowns in detail every inch of the DMZ and the NK side. The US counter-battery is the best in the world. Every NK gun that fires would be bracket and destroyed in the 1st 30 minutes. After they are gone any other mapped location would be hit for good measure. The ROK Army and the US Army would start to roll right over the DMZ in the 1st hour. The Air Force and Army attack helicopters would wreck any armor the NK have very very quickly. The NK Army around the DMZ will collapse in the 1st day.

The only real issue we would have to worry about is NK using a nuke on Seoul or Tokyo. That is the major issue and it is why NK will never give up on their weapons. It is the only effect threat they have.

The US planners have sorted out the conventional war issues a long time ago. It is figuring out how to be 100% sure to remove the Nukes from the equation that has stopped us from just stepping on Kim like a roach and he knows that. That is the reason for the Nukes.

One of the biggest impediments was that Microsoft had this crappy implementation of Java on IE that was simply useless. Making a portable (modern at the time) applet that worked in IE was essentially impossible. I have no doubt MS did that on purpose.

IKEA is almost always cheaper, but the service is horrible. They outsource the build service to local contractors and it's a hit or miss, mostly miss.

I bought a closet from IKEA and arranged the service through them. They sent 3 dudes who couldn't speak a word of english. On top of that, the 3 dudes got mad that there was no parking in San Francisco and left. So I had to call IKEA again and get them to come on a Sunday (free street parking).

The actual assembly was also sloppy. The doors weren't aligned properly, some screws were missing (making the door weaker). The left door started to come off after 2 months. Rather than call IKEA and have some other stooge come and make it worse, I looked up youtube videos on how to fix door screw holes (you use glue and wood chips) and fixed it myself.

In my limited experience outside of one of those hubs I can say that's definitely a factor. I've spoken to a few good candidates that when decision time came got cold feet because of fear that the local ecosystem not being strong enough to provide a security cushion in case something went poorly.

The same can be asked about sugary drinks, and cable news television. Fortunately, since all of those things make a lot of money, nobody ever questions whether or not those things should still be sold.
there are still incredible opportunities. you just have to be educated (STEM helps by an immeasurable factor), work hard and take risks to land them. luck helps. sometimes luck comes easy; sometimes you have to make your own luck. anyone who thinks there is less opportunity in the US today than 20 years ago is willfully ignorant and/or has never lived in countries that truly have no opportunity for upward mobility besides unicorn luck, marrying up or capitalizing on some level of corruption.
Kind of an aside, you used to fix wonky TVs by physically banging them on the side once or twice.

Not to be a negative Nancy. But do all things in software these days need to be a public service you use? Maybe I am completely overlooking something here but it seems that most programmers and most people responsible for software requiring such services should have the ability to write and maintain their own reverse proxy for the services they provide.

I think it's safe to say that's harder to raise bay area VC if you're not there, though I did do it for our Series A. It's not impossible, and considering "ease of raising VC" isn't the primary variable I optimize for (and doing so seems to be falling out of vogue), I don't think it warrants moving. Some investors just can't get over location, and I think that says more about them than it does you.

At this point I also get a little kick out of doing things differently and trying to change the ecosystem. Isn't that what being a contrarian is all about?
Don't get me wrong I like the idea and a lot of others will probably like it too. But, look at Facebook and Google they can't handle the responsibly they've been given. People are falling though the cracks.

Why Lisp machine? (To solve this problem which is no longer a problem today. Therefore it would be a solution looking for a problem)

"Why Lisp Machines? The standard platform for Lisp before Lisp machines was a timeshared PDP-10, but it was well known that one Lisp program could turn a timeshared KL-10 into unusable sludge for everyone else. It became technically feasible to build cheaper hardware that would run lisp better than on timeshared computers. The technological push was definitely from the top down; to run big, resource hungry lisp programs more cheaply. Lisp machines were not "personal" out of some desire make life pleasant for programmers, but simply because lisp would use 100% of whatever resources it had available. All code on these systems was written in Lisp simply because that was the easiest and most cost effective way to provide an operating system on this new hardware."
In this case, a more relevant example from World War II might be the exploitation of flaws in the Enigma machine, namely:

1) the re-use of common phrases in weather reports, and

2) the fact that a letter could not be encoded as itself in the ciphertext, providing a mechanism of contradiction that drastically sped up elimination of possible settings

>Also, I was initially thinking why bother in the age of Pastebin and Twitter, and even Craigslist: the receiving equipment is available way more easily than a shortwave radio. I think the answer is, you can absolutely guarantee nobody knows if a message was received. Those internet methods could be watched.

Not only, unless there is some technology that I am not aware of, you can also be pretty sure that what is received is what has been transmitted, in other words you remove the possibility of a MITM attack.

In my book, operating software is a different skill set from writing software.

In the 911 outage, my first thought was: Alright, we have a server accepting calls, and dispatching calls. If there is too much of a difference between incoming and dispatched calls, there is a problem. Maybe it's a capacity problem and we don't have enough 911 operators, maybe it's a software problem, maybe we're dealing with a DoS. I don't need to know or understand anything about the dispatch software, and I'm pretty sure I can monitor, measure and alert these metrics independently from the software.

We can twist, turn, push and shuffle Dev, Ops and DevOps around, but good operators largely try to mitigate failure and risk, including their own limited imagination how much infrastructure and software could fail at once. That's a very different skill than trying to make a single component in a network bug-free.

"TAI and UTC have a fixed offset relationship, it is true. However, UTC is computed in real time (with several varieties to choose from if you care about the nano-seconds), but TAI is a retrospective timescale that's not computed until after the fact. I get the feeling that the BIPM want TAI to be their baby, free from "production" concerns that UTC has to deal with"

The service is absolutely abysmal.

I once had an appointment through Ikea for a few items to be delivered. It took 4 different missed appointments for them to finally deliver it. It was a nightmare. First one they never contacted us when they arrived (I live in an apartment building, no way in for non-tenants). Second one was apparently never put in the system. Same with the third one despite me calling the night before to confirm that everything went through, they even confirmed with the third party delivery service. Fourth time it finally showed up.

Would not recommend.
Speaking for myself: the article, the original title, the subtitle, and the hero image are all blatant flamebait.

There are a few, small, nuggets of truth here. What I mostly see is a dysfunctional relationship, grossly mis-matched expectations, and more than a slight possiblility of some deep-seated psychological issues. Even is you see all of these points without subscribing to any anti-feminist viewpoints (and I don't), it's pretty flagrantly obvious that those will appear in spades in a discussion (and have, and have, mostly, been rightfully flagged).

The third-party version of this might make for an interesting case study, and might even have carry-over to various workplace and inter-personal dynamics. As written and presented -- blame applying to the author and Harper's Bazaar -- this is poisoned.
I appreciate the insight, I never have quite understood the boundary between consultant and employee.

Seems like it would be better to build pre-fab housing modules with maximum building envelope 469"L x 88"W x 98"H, and use those 40' high-cube containers to ship them. At the destination site, build the foundation, docking racks from structural steel, and a climate-appropriate roof and insulated outer shell.

The pre-fab is built in a factory, shipped to the site, rolled off the container truck with a ramp and a forklift, and rolled into the rack. Each one is essentially 250 sq.ft. of shotgun house.

Alternately, make a pre-fab "core" that consists of all the essential plumbing, HVAC, and wiring for one house, and erect a piecemeal house around it using traditional methods and local materials. You can fit one core for a 2-story house inside a 20' standard container, or two in a 40' container.

The extensive on-site modifications required to turn a standard shipping container into a decent house necessarily preclude isotainer homes from being economical or ecologically sound. The advantages of container-based shipping are best exploited by using the containers to ship factory-built things.
