You need to find what you love doing, and love doing it!

In hindsight, look within see what tickles your fancy minus the yolo([money, cars, hoes,] mindset) realize YOLO(). And what would be meaningful for you during that short amount of time. It's all you have, might as well use it sustainably.

Hey and after that, find out where you live, the people you know, and the effort (as in the drive) -that it will take in order for you to achieve your most sustainable self. Then break everything down, use the pomodoro method, use kanban, heck tic-tac-toe if it helps and work out your doings. Start -and don't stop, you can't really can you? You love doing it. So always remember the first part, that's important. ;-)

-Find out what you love doing, and then just love doing it. As you're doing what you love, something's worthwhile.

Exactly. If I had an idea that countrywide UBI was coming at a meaningful level, I'd buy as much cheap housing stock as I could get my hands on as I believe UBI would result in net household formation and net demand for low-end rental housing.
My understanding is this happens everywhere. It happens when they walk down the street.

You just hear about it more in some places than others.
Prices aren't set by one thing and one thing only, though.

Available cash flow definitely plays into the equation, and we can see this at work in a multitude of areas, from the skyrocketing cost of a university education, to the fact that ski resorts charge two or three times the going rate for a cup of hot chocolate (because if you have the money to go skiing, you have the money to pay extra for a hot beverage).

Costs also play a factor, of course. Dropping everybody's wages to zero doesn't mitigate the fact that raw materials, fuel, and even time are all finite resources.

Personally, while once a fan, I'm highly skeptical of UBI.

I would rather see something more like a universal assistance program: safe, government-run housing, dormitory style, with a cafeteria, available to all.

And I do mean "all". If Warren Buffet wants to bunk with Hobo Joe, that's his business. Buffet pays taxes that support the system, and shouldn't be barred from making use of it.

The people that live there are responsible for working to maintain the space: cleaning, cooking, etc. Put them near libraries and community centers, with ready access to whatever public transportation is available.

Unfortunately, given the current political climate, I doubt that this would go over well with either party.
When they tried to unionize students and postdocs at a previous workplace the most vociferous opponents were the full-time professors, protected not only by their public-sector union, but by tenure as well. They would do such a thing, wouldn't they, it would limit their power.
I had a friend in Israel who, for part of her induction into her mandatory 18mo IDF service, was scheduled for an interview with the Israeli intelligence service.

In preparation for the interview, they sent her the address, a map showing the building, and marked three separate entrances and how to get to their office from them: the main entrance, a side entrance, and one off the alley behind the building (which I assume is closer to parking? maybe?).

It was very weird. I think she decided just to go in through the lobby.

Beyond singlespeeds, I don't think bikes are that reliable or elegant, at least for 2017. The drivetrain is especially bad, I'm open to any proposed improvements there (gearboxes! i'm similarly meh on electric shifting, but it can solve some real problems). There are so many issues - exposed mechanical parts which collect dirt, bad/sticky cable housing, cable stretch, chain stretch, gear wear, floppy derailleur which causes the chain to come off and chain slap which can damage your frame. As for reliability, drivetrains last only 5k miles or so depending on conditions. Chains need re-lube every 5th ride or so. As for design outside of the drivetrain, derailleurs put the majority of the weight on the rear wheel which isn't ideal for suspension or center of gravity. They are also easily broken because of their location

I'm excited for https://pinion.eu/en/gearboxes/. It is designed to last a long time and not need maintenance (we'll see about that...)
Is Academia one entity? Do you consider Adjunct Professors to be part of Academia?

That is an interesting read, thank you. You might also describe what I'm doing as trying to efficiently pack a polygon with non-overlapping images, then tessellating that polygon as a method of repetition. Easy to conceive with squares or triangles, but the pentagons in OP's link would produce more organic patterns in my opinion.
Thanks for this. I'm curious to hear why something that has such remarkable potential to improve lives, has somehow been channeled into a social taboo.

Hi, thanks for your tutorials... but i'm not getting the expected result on my side. I can't seed my shoeProductTableSeeder equivalent to your ProductsTableSeeder. I'm getting an undefined offset:0. This is my code:

shoeProductsTableSeeder

{
$categories = ['Adult shoes', 'Corporate shoes', 'Baby shoes', 'Sport shoes'];

foreach ($categories as $category){
# First fetch category Id

$category = DB::table('categories')->where('name', '=', trim(strtolower( $category )))->get();
$category_id = $category[0]->id;
$actual_price = rand(15000, 20000);
$discount_factor = (10/100) * $actual_price; // 10% of actual price
$discount_price = $actual_price - $discount_factor;

DB::table('shoeProducts')->insert([
'title' => 'Product for ' . $category[0]->name,
'image' => '../images/shoes8.jpg',
'category_id' => $category_id,
'original_price'=> $actual_price,
'discount_price'=> $discount_price,
'in_stock' => 1,
'status' => 1,
'created_at' => Carbon::now(),
]);
}

}

I'll appreciate an early reply... Thanks
It's an interesting time for web development in general. As the industry moves towards standardized web components, CSS frameworks--like Bootstrap, Foundation, Bulma, etc.--will fit differently into the puzzle. The demand for CSS frameworks will persist, but more of the implementation details will be abstracted away within components.
I can be ignorant without being wilful about it :) TBH, I avoid forums where that kind of thing goes on.

But what I'm doing here is drawing parallels between large groups of people self-organizing against a prominent, successful person.
This is it.

Some systems are so backwards they will never be fixed, they will be disrupted. But don't discount the power of unions.

You could have, in Google Village Toronto - literally the coolest and most advanced transit system in the world - and the TTC Change Collectors could still be there.

It takes a mayor or Premier who is basically willing to burn a ton of political capital to take them on - and it never happens.

Current Premier Wynne is bribing the unions for votes.

It's a problem with populism - and one of the ugly/secret reasons that public transit is not expanded in more places: bureaucracy, complexity, unions, cabals, systems-in-place.

I don't like Google, but yes, let's hope they can disrupt public transit.
or break even?
I hadn’t seen that. Sounds like an amazing story and will definitely check it out. Thanks for sharing.

So are the plastic chairs you get at Walmart. This is a fixed cost. Custom design them once, order a million of them and leverage economies of scale.

> Free beer

Beer by the pallet is $2.30 a can, rent is around $2200. Even if you drink 2 cans a day, its still only about $350 a month in costs. Even if it's a loss, it's a good loss leader and the economies of scale will eventually work out. Their potential for profit is when people start saying, WeWork, feed us! and they charge such and such to manage the whole food delivery and make a nice premium on that, and whatever other services you guys would want.

AMDGPU Pro is actually built on top of the open source driver, so if AMD wants and can commit its features into the open source driver it shouldn't be that hard. I don't know why they decided to build the proprietary interface if AMDGPU was working so well, maybe 3rd party licensed code?
"I'm not sure how this addresses the resource load of Web Workers. What about their alternative makes it inherently lighter?"

The running of multiple tasklets within one WebWorker, from the sounds of it.

Given that there is a polyfill directory in the repo, and that nothing in what they've described immediately strikes me as needing any more browser support (give or take perhaps some quirky corner) for an initial implementation, it sounds like it's mostly stuff you could in theory write yourself. There's probably hundreds of similar things out there in the world already. But standardizing is often helpful, and there are ways the browser engine could theoretically accelerate these methods if they are explicitly supported with defined semantics the browser can understand. In particular, if the JIT can prove you are sending a "message" using this API that is a pure data object, it doesn't have to serialize that to a bytestream on one side and deserialize it on the other; it can just transfer the object via pointer passing. Or if it must still serialize/deserialize across a boundary, at least use a mechanism written in C++ that can be more efficient and easier than anything you can write in native JS.

(I say 'browser' above to leave open the possibility of DOM node proxying or whathaveyou; of course it would work in Node too.)

"At a minimum I would have thought that such a solution should enable a parallel form of map, filter, and reduce style operations. These are operations that are intrinsically designed for non-trivial tasks."

Surely these already exist somewhere? (If I know my JS library world, several dozen times over.) They should transfer over into the tasklet just fine.

Not sure this is worth it's own comment, so I'll just add that this strikes me as putting apartment-style threading into the browser: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms809971.aspx based on a cooperative scheduling process, built on top of a dynamic scripting language. This would put the browser tech stack now somewhere in 2000-2001, I think. (This style of threading leans 1990s, but JS is better than any dynamic scripting language was in that timeframe, so I'll bump it forward a bit. But then back again for being cooperatively threaded.) It's getting there...

But in all seriousness, to the team looking at this, I would strongly suggest considering what this means in a world of WebAssembly, not just pure JS. Perhaps it all just works as-is, but it would still be nice to see some text about it.

> You do know that such an offer is illegal, right?

Your argument is of the form "Romans build roads, therefore people who build roads are Romans."

Ponzi schemes don't have actual customers, which inherently leaves the people at the bottom of the pyramid holding the bag.

Uber pays drivers from fares. There is no pyramid.
Can also succeed by effectively targeting vulnerable consumers, deploying deceptive marketing tactics, lobbying for favorable laws for your company, or purposefully ignoring the law successfully. Or monopolize and milk a basic need like medicine for common disease. Or run sweatshops to minimize cost at expense of everything else. Sell weapons to regimes known for their human rights abuses.
Secure a license to take up finite resources without regard for sustainability or at underprice. Manage to externalize costs for necessary environmental protection.
I would claim it is easier to make money the more of such bad things you are willing to do.

First In-Depth Look at Google's New Second-Generation TPU
I knew Robert Scoble online 2004 - 2007 during his time as a blogger and an (unpaid/unofficial, if I'm not mistaken) Microsoft evangelist during the Longhorn beta days. I remember him as a bully who was not afraid to use his pedestal to call people out on personal whim and took great pleasure in his sense of power and fame.

He often blogged out of ignorance on trending topics (TechMeme, anyone?) yet always got that traffic and those backlinks - one of those people that believed that if you spoke loudly enough what you said would magically both become important and true. It worked for him though, that I remember.

He was a bully then and I'm not surprised to hear he still is one now, but presuming that this article is true I'm very sorry to learn that he didn't contain his behavior to online only.

What I remember hating the most was just how successful people like him - and there are plenty - are at being popular. It just felt so unfair how this unintelligent bloke managed to con everyone into thinking his opinion mattered, got himself invited to all these exclusive events, and was somewhat of a mini-celebrity for no discernible reason at all. He wasn't someone you wanted to call out or cross because he never hesitated to fire back with all guns at anyone who gave him any flack and you didn't want to be the person everyone woke up to find shredded to pieces in their RSS inboxes the next morning.

I wisened up at some point and tuned him out. I stopped trying to blog about how his latest piece was inaccurate and unsubscribed from his feeds, realizing he simply wasn't worth it, and, to be honest, that it wasn't a game I could win. The thing about people like him is that they largely live in an echo chamber. They don't really matter. If you can tune them out and cut them out of your life, you won't be missing a thing. And if enough people do that, then they lost at their game. I imagine there are a lot of people that saw this headline and hadn't a clue who Robert Scoble even was - that wasn't the case 12 years ago. Bullies fade.
Also sports budgets.
That needs a more substantive cite.
Is it really any different than the most obstreperously puritanical religious zealots harboring plenty of scandalous sin in their personal life? Whether our ideals have a God at the top or not, we aren't any more or less prone to psychologically projecting our failings.
> I'm not sure that trying to 3d print the whole thing will turn out. Why? Because you need replaceable parts. You need to be able to tear down, inspect, and replace parts as each part of the rocket has a different lifetime. If you make the rocket as one giant piece, and use efficient methods (reduce weight, size, etc), that it would be much less serviceable over its lifetime.

I think the idea is to 3D print parts that are currently welded together. I don't see anywhere that they are planning to print as one piece anything that is ever disassembled with current practices.

I don't know. A lot of the people Gelman complains about are, in my opinion, building their career on fraudulent work. They are undermining science. If there was ever any doubt that they were deliberately deceiving people, that doubt disappeared upon seeing their response to simple and legitimate criticism.

A little needling on Gelman's blog is not too harsh, all things considered.

So instructions on making a successful company in 2017:

1. Spot a non-trivial expense type applicable to most Fortune 500 companies.

2. Make a startup offering the same thing under the cost.

3. Use your network to get sales people that personally know exec-level people from Fortune 500 and will pitch the product to them.

4. Get them to sign up. Of course they'll do, you're offering it under cost at the investors' expense.

5. Show impressive revenue and customer base growth and forget the word "profitability".

6. Make an IPO and cash in before the public realizes that your might have been selling dollars for ninety cents.

> I think the idea is to 3D print parts that are currently welded together. I don't see anywhere that they are planning to print as one piece anything that is ever disassembled with current practices.

I would agree that 3d printing smaller parts and putting them together by hand seems more reasonable, but I don't get the impression that is what they're doing (but it's hard to tell from the article).

This is what led me to that conclusion:
"Ellis and Noone say a handful of the arms can work together to create the rocket’s entire body as a single piece, guided by custom software that monitors their speed and the metal’s integrity."

Entire body - single piece. I don't hear any talk of welding or putting it together (which would involve multiple pieces).

Also just as a point of reference, making the bodies or the fuel tank is actually the easier part. It's either metal or carbon fiber. What takes a long time is assembling complex engines, and getting the whole thing together (including wiring).

I think fear is the only emotion sexual abusers will be deterred by. If the treatment of Scoble doesn't make other powerful sexual abusing sociopaths fear for their livelihood, they won't change their behavior.
