No problem, happy to help. I think adding a FAQ at the top that's like, "What can a Jewelbot be programmed to do?" with a longer list of possible use cases would help. The front page kind of lists them but I found it to be a bit unclear, and that's from a technical perspective. A non techie parent might be even more confused, so I find it's helpful to ELI5.
The real problem with this is sedentary. There are so many studies that try to prove "X improves endurance" and run a study with sedentary people.

The problem is that when you have sedentary people do any kind of activity that increases heart rate regularly, they will come out of it with improved markers. The learning curve here is pretty steep. It tells us nothing about the actual activity you were trying to test.
"I'm always very skeptical with studies like this."

The study was large enough to disprove the hypothesis. It failed to disprove the hypothesis. Science has advanced.
I.e. Let's avoid the question of quality altogether by declaring it an unsolvable problem in the limit.
> Whatever you guys need to feel better about yourselves.

The irony.
Well, it is and it isn't, because (at least to me) it's a lot easier to fail with a virtual product and no physical space or employees outside the founders. It feels a lot easier to fail multiple times in that way and keep trying when it's just you taking the loss. Having to let people go, watch stuff get sold at auction and wind up paying on a huge note or going through bankruptcy is a lot more painful[0].

I've been a dev for almost two decades as an employee and as a solo contractor and somewhere in the middle my wife and I with 3 friends started an event space. Even though it was a success, we suffered through a lot of the same issues. We found a fantastic, disused space in a mill building; the landlord was incredibly sketchy and his physical plant people were hard to deal with. Because we did weddings and similar events (birthdays, anniversaries) almost exclusively we wound up dealing with lots of outside vendors who varied wildly in quality. And we couldn't simply "Oh well" when an event planner was an idiot or a caterer screw up: the guests don't know anything about how the place works. Anyone who screws up is on us.

There were a few things that made us a success:

1. We were good business planners and cheap. I had experience from helping my dad run his business, we got a mentor from the local business school and we had lots of connections in the area so we could work around the shitty level of quality we got from the internal craftsmen.

2. I am good at being tough. I don't like doing it and my non-spousal cofounders mistook my talent at it for liking it which led to conflict, but it saved us a lot of what the author seems to have run into in this article. I had a standard speech for vendors who were mistake repeaters that started, "I am fully capable of stepping on my own dick, I don't like it when people do it for me".

3. General business sense: we put together a fully-functional restaurant kitchen for the caterers. Not one item was new. We got lucky by running into a few pieces but most of the stuff was bought second-hand at an auction. I learned a lot of things at that auction (and if you are anywhere near Peabody, MA you should go as it is open-air theater[1]) but the main takeaway was, "A whole lot of restaurants and coffee shops fail". There had to be 20 espresso machines that month alone.

[0] Not that you can't wind up in hock starting a virtual company, just guessing the average exposure is a lot less.

This is not practical. Many folks are salaried. And many jobs take being on the job a certain number of hours to build up to maximum productivity.

The trouble with comments like this is not that you're wrong—there's a chance you're right and really do know better than the people you're criticizing. But when you post like this, you make your comment indistinguishable from random internet detritus. In a way it doesn't matter if you're right, because that would only encourage the internet bullshitters to post more, and lord knows there are 99.9+ of them for every 1 of you.
I don't buy it. In a democracy, the government cares about votes, not people refusing to pay their taxes. The government has a lot of ways to compel you to pay taxes, but not your vote.

The massive political power of retirees in the US seems like a perfect example. They aren't very productive economically and they receive lots of benefits from the government, but they wield political power out of proportion to their numbers, and politicians won't dare cross them.
The definition of stupidity is "being lack of intelligence", and the definition of intelligence is "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills".

So maybe a stupid person can only be detected by observing said person during a period of time and measuring the ability to learn from mistakes and update behavior. If the variation on behavior is zero we can say we spotted a stupid person. But, if the variation is positive we are dealing with somebody "learning" and maybe we can "help".
So true. At my wife's accounting firm they recently moved from excel to Postgres. Accountants now interact with the database directly rather than messing with the mess that is excel and everyone is better for it.

It is kind of crazy how often you can witness a person (of any color) walking down an alley in early AM hours in San Diego while looking in car windows with a light and checking door handles.

But then seeing them continue on to the next apartment carport, then the next, then the next...

I'm sure there are racist idiots posting false stories or such, but that issue you described IS very common. Talk to your region's SDPD Community Liaison about the types of crimes and their occurrence numbers. SDPD will usually be able to give you a good comment on the amount of calls about a certain crime vs the actual number of times they make an arrest for a certain crime.
In a world where all the current solutions are impractical, we'll have to find a way to make one of them practical.

Also, no need to be overly categorical—certain jobs should stay the same as they are and of course be paid more. What we're talking about here is the bulk majority.

Just a clarification: galaxy rotation curves and the observed expansion of the universe are not really related.

The empirically observed expansion of the Universe is the motivating evidence for the existence of Dark Energy. Dark Matter, which is motivated (in part) by the inconsistencies in the rotation curves of galaxies is a separate topic. Despite sharing similarities in their names and the fact that they make up the two biggest chunks of energy/mass in the Universe, Dark Energy and Dark Matter are not actually related. The word 'dark' is really just implying that we have not yet observed anything to explain these two phenomenon.

In my misspent youth I wrote a login trojan for VAX/VMS. It circumvented the "break" key trick that you are alluding to above. I had to drop down to Bliss-32 and use the $QIO syscall but it can be done. Once I had captured the sysadmin password and logged in once to prove my achievement I never ran it again. Learned many interesting things though. My task was made easier because DEC published the source code for the OS, albeit as Microfiche. I was therefore able to study the terminal handler code and figure out how to make a trojan that perfectly emulated the regular login behavior including all its timeouts and responses to various control keys.

Oh, and the VAX-11/780 I had hacked into crashed due to a memory board fault in the minute after I had logged in with my snagged admin password. I spent the remainder of the weekend sweating that I had broken the VAX since I had no idea what had happened. I had just given myself all 32 of the VMS account privileges when it went down.
> The purpose of buying a OnePlus device is to get decent hardware for an okay price

Think you might need a full stop there. OP might have a reputation amongst the "root/flash/ROM" brigade, but that by no means makes up all of their userbase, and user-blaming that it's your own fault for not randomly knowing about custom flavours of Android isn't really helpful.

This is consumer software, on a consumer product, by a consumer company, that's doing something that raises genuine questions about personal privacy and the access to information we give to hardware manufacturers. The default answer to all of this really shouldn't be "install random OS XYZ", in the same way that questioning Windows 10 analytics isn't "just install Arch".

For a counter theory, try reading Sex at Dawn. It's far from perfect. The authors accuse "the establishment" of picking and choosing evidence to show that men stray to spread their genetic material, while women are glorified prostitutes: seeking shelter, food, and security from men, while trying to obtain superior genetic material by cheating. They then turn around and pick and choose their own evidence to support the theory that humans aren't and were never genetically monogamous, and that we stray because we are trying to force monogamy as a fundamental human condition. Nevertheless, the evidence they do present is compelling enough to show that monogamy isn't fundamental to humans or our closest relatives.

For an even better read, try Mating in Captivity which talks about sex and intimacy from the point of view of examining couples whose sex life has died away. This is better place to start if you want to understand cheating.

Throwaway because I want to put my past behind me.

I've been to prison. Convicted of assault when I turned 18 years old. At 20, I was released and the system provided no re-integration efforts for me. In Feb 2003, I was homeless, no family, and I lost all my friends.

I applied for over 100 jobs while sleeping in the back of an abandoned car with no luck.

Finally I lied to get employment at a local McDonald's. Then I begged a literally insane person to let me sleep on her couch until I received enough money to get a place of my own. I had to pay her in sperm donations (as she wanted a child).

I had to steal food to eat in those first few months.

On top of that, I had $18,000 in restitution and 10 years of probation. If I missed payments, I'd go back to prison.

Fast forward 10 years, I put myself through college, paid off the restitution in full, got off probation 5 years early, moved the hell away from my home town,
and built a million dollar company.

I got curious a few years ago and looked up all my fellow inmates. 100% of them were back in prison.

When I think of how lucky I am to have escaped that life, I have no words...
To the degree it can run locally an internet connection will not matter. Maybe there is a dependency on the internet to collect user data from the user's computers. That is necessary latency. Internet network latency due to dashboard application execution is not necessary.

I am not saying that Internet network latency due to dashboard execution matters. If it doesn't matter then there is no point optimizing for one or other sort latency until it does. If it does matter then picking one over the other suggests an architectural design issue.

Good luck.

I can't imagine how you would arrive at this idea.

Unemployment benefits create a tribal, polarizing division between working and non-working people.

Basic Income creates a continuum. You can have BI + leisure, BI + freelance, BI + 10 hr workweek, BI + regular load, BI + burning out. Whatever works for you.

How does the phishing app know my apple ID email address already?
Yeah, totally. The other mindblowing thing is that since photons are moving at the speed of light, thus time for them pretty much stands still.

Thus, if a photon was created at the moment of the big bang and happens to "bump" into something else today then from the standpoint of the photon, it only "lived" for an instant.

Cheap people aren't the type of client you should try to attract to a restaurant, once the deal goes away they will move on to the next sucker. I worked at a place that sold dollar cheese steaks as a way to get people in the door, the dining room was full but a party of 4 would order something like 4 cheese steaks with 4 waters and leave a 50 cent tip. They changed the price to two dollars and the cheapos revolted, left bad yelp reviews and everything.

Our 3-year-old production server hard drive, containing all assets and a database for multiple customers, died. No backups.

Probably one of the stupidest, but also the most personally effective way to learn anything.
Cannot prove causation is not the same as cannot conclude causation. As you point out with your medical example, we have plenty of cases where we act with evidence but not proof. Sometimes these are wrong...but more often they are not (when talking about science).

Often there is some evidence in both directions (for/against a theory), so we likewise have experience and examples where we must decide based on that imperfect info.

Given that we will never be able to prove this causation, at least not in the next few lifetimes and given that, right or wrong, the people (vast majority) in the field are saying the problem is real; Given that inaction is terrible if this is all true, then what evidence would convince you (or any example climate change denier) that the concerns are valid?
Let me also add: E-bikes make for a significantly faster commute than normal bikes. I commute through a crowded and hilly suburb. Driving round trips takes about 25 minutes. E-biking takes about 35 minutes. Biking takes about 60 minutes. It's a very nice compromise between exercise and more time with the kids.

I don't believe you understand what he's saying.

His point, as I understand it, is if you participate economically in a social structure, your vote represents economic activity in that structure. So if the nation was full of fast-food workers, the democratic structure that would come out of it would be something that favored fast-food workers and took their economic needs into account. In your example of retired people, a world full of retired people would create a governmental structure that understood and favored the economic activity of retired folks, which is basic consumption.

In a world where most people simply consume, such as those retired people, either you wouldn't get participation at all or you'd get participation that was structured economically around what retired folks do. In either case, it's a tyrannical and dysfunctional government. The only way to "fix" it is to have a de facto oligarchy where a small number of rich people control everything and deliver it to the masses. And that's as bad or worse than the other scenarios.
> Finally, if you really care about privacy this much you should be building things from source. […] .NET Core is open source, so this is absolutely possible to do.

It's not that simple. Until recently, you had to have .Net Core installed to build .Net Core. There is now a way to build from source (https://github.com/dotnet/source-build), but it only works on Linux.
I do agree, as I think in his own way, he generally cares about people and has grandiose visions about what would solve the social ills of the world. That being said, he's also not perfect, and generally puts business before a lot of things, but I think for him he justifies it as a means to an end.

Seriously though, he should hire a real person that can tap him on the shoulder before he does stuff like this and tell him "hey, you're probably going to get a little flack for that." Like you said though, at least he didn't go down and throw really good, soft paper towels at people.

I surprised that secrets make it into the logs at all. I would have expected them to filter anything that's in an env secret from the log output. Pretty sure Travis does this.

> Enable subresource integrity, or serve JS from each of these companies from the CircleCI domain.

That's not much of an option for this type of thing as the third parties would then have a PITA time dealing with upgrades (so they wouldn't support it). Using <script src="hxxps://tracker.example.com/path/to/script.js"></script> (rather than a fixed version) allows for live upgrades as they're in control of the resource that is loaded.

And you can't load the script from your domain as at the end of the day it's got to get instructions and upload data to the third party. At best you'd be loading a shim that does the same thing as the script tag.

Amen to that. Employees are awfully expensive, and while we wait for the government to do something, business owners keep relocating manufacturing to places where labor is cheaper, leaving citizens unemployed.

I don't know if the solution looks so simple to me (lower the fucking cost of labor already) because I don't know anything about economy, or because someone is interested in maintaining this status quo.

Anecdata, but 90% of people I know have never installed Linux (and the few times I've had to try and find recovery discs, going to bet reinstalling Windows is at about the same percentage), and not sure I know anyone who's flashed a new ROM on Android.

I don't think that any society where monogamous relationships are the norm has ever justified this arrangement on the grounds that humans are naturally predisposed to monogamy. Everyone has always known that for most people it's very difficult to be monogamous over a long period. But then, we have all kinds of social structures that discourage us from doing what we'd otherwise be disposed to do.
