The idea of Roman invincibility is sort of bizarre concept, looking at the history. Roman armies were routinely defeated and destroyed. Rome's great advantage through the Republic and early Empire was that they could absorb such losses, which would be catastrophic for most states, and keep churning out new armies.

Slightly off-topic but I'm curious: Nvidia Volta is advertised as having "tensor cores" - what does it take for a programmer to use them? Will typical Tensorflow or Cafe code take advantage of it? Or should we wait for some new optimized version of ML frameworks?
Thanks for the info. That suffices.
It's a bit more insidious than 10%.

Flattr takes 7.5%.

Their payment processor takes 9%.

Withdrawing costs you $3.

And people call Patreon's 5% (on top of Stripe's 3%) outrageous. I guess it's better than the walled garden 30%, for popular enough sites.

Almost anyone can program a CRUD app. Very few people can write a game engine.
Awesome.

It’s definitely a different perspective. He’s oriented to getting past security; normal thieves are risk-minimizing opportunists, so the approach isn’t “how do I get past security”, it’s “how do I get past the minimum security I can expect, and identify those targets that will have that minimum.”

Still, super interesting.
If you first have to convince large amounts of people that there is actually a problem then you're probably not solving a real-world problem for them.

My point is that Docker itself brings nothing to that 'repeatability' table. You have that with shell scripts, salt/chef/puppet/what have you, all of which can be run on any environment that meets the baseline requirements for your project.
Tracking bowel movements and feedings became a necessity for us as my son had a couple digestion issues when he was born. Collecting data not only helped us manage the situation better, but it was crucial for us to communicate the symptoms to our doctors to get referred to the right specialist for the care he needed. Thanks for sharing this.
This is great! Hoping this will work on mobile eventually
What the actual fuck... You can automate or collect data about anything, but some things are going just too far.
From experience I know that the forecasting and predictions you can do with this kind of data is very, very limited. The time and costs you need go through are way too high.
I sincerely question why anyone would use this, aside from the hobbying and gadget-ness of this.

We're heavy users of Cucumber at our development agency. I've never seen non-technical users write Cucumber scenarios either, but we find them very useful for another reason.

The problem with test suites is that, as they grow and age, it becomes harder and harder to understand why tests are testing what they test. When a years old test fails because 5 is not 7, you cannot really fix it unless you understand why it was supposed to equal 7 in the first place.

Cucumber is a way to describe requirements at a higher level of abstraction. They provide rationale on top of mere assertions of behavior. This is worth the small overhead of writing step definitions.

I guess you can get the same by heavily commenting your tests. But you cannot enforce this easily in a team.

Normally, I would consider culture to be work ethic and how employees treat each other beyond the purely transactional business sense. You're defining it to be something much broader, that's fine, but I think that broader undertanding is better captured by the word "leadership".

And as far as my last factor ("internally, guide the company to specific results"), I mean that CEOs make a lot of day-to-day tactical decisions. E.g., how many engineer/sales/marketing people do we add to that team, do we need a bigger office, do we sue someone or not, do we take VC money on the offered terms or hold out for something better.

These tactical decisions are less visible, but probably make up a good deal of a CEOs day.

That's another reason the "audition"/side project analogy doesn't work. I'm a musician. When you audition for a band, it's a matter of walking in, plugging in or setting up, and playing a few songs with the band.

If the musician is any good compared to the people they've already auditioned, many times you won't play another song. The band will hire you on the spot.

I have to agree with what others here have said: the moralizing rubs me the wrong way and, in this case, I don't think it serves any purpose but to move blame away from the author and onto the technology that he perceives as his primary problem.

I have a child and they have access to a Kindle, our television (with Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) as well as our Nintendo 3DS. These all (in my opinion) serve much the same purpose: entertain, distract and in some circumstances help people relax. Since the beginning my partner and I have been clear that it's not okay to sit in front of one (or cycle through them all) for hours at a time. At this point our child is seven and they rarely exceed more than 30 minutes at a time of screen interaction. For the most part, they move onto something else on their own.

Clearly part of it is personality, but I do think some part was the establishment of clear boundaries from the start. Perhaps when my child hits the teen years, I'll have to revisit this battle but for now keeping screen time at a minimum is a fairly low friction activity.

As this author demonstrates, there's a very real challenge as parents to make the time to schedule activities or to encourage children to get out and play. This strikes me as eternal problems: no seven year old is great at planning ahead or has the ability to schedule their own play dates. But, unlike when I was a child, there are more options than staring at a blank wall or digging deep holes in the backyard.
Lung cancer doesn't just affect smokers, though. People who have never smoked still have a lifetime risk of about 0.5%-1.0%. And the study was studying self-reported non-smokers in addition to smokers.

"We found that B6 and B12 had sex- and source-specific associations with lung cancer risk. In addition, the association in men was more pronounced in cigarette smokers."

i think containers would suit you better.
Yeah. I think part of the problem is that centralized vs decentralized becomes a dualism and people get fixated with an ideal of pure decentralization.

In my view, decentralization is about building resilient systems where it's not a big problem if everyone uses the same provider, or the same three providers, because the content is de facto independent from the operators.

But it's also true that decentralized systems are under constant threat of recentralization because lock-in benefits monopolists...
I have seen that same thing from several websites. I have seen some websites suggest it's a Safari issue (browser hijackers) and clearing Safari data gets rid of it. But, I have not really messed with it yet.
That's because it simply does not exist.

It costs $4K and a weekend to furnish a three bedroom 2400 square feet apartment in NYC with IKEA + TJMAX ( source: done it ). Say I dont want to do it. So it would be $5k with $1k or labor. This means that for people who make $200k/year or below moving cannot cost more than a replacement.

So you either go upmarket and target people who do not use disposable furniture ( i.e. they are moving hundreds of thousands dollars of stuff ) or you are playing in your $1000/move market.
It's not just that Amazon has done the math, it's that sufficiently liquid cryptocurrencies will, by the efficient market hypothesis, quickly gain enough value to make mining on whatever Amazon offers no longer profitable. As soon as you're able to profitably mine without an up-front capital investment, people will take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity until the market adjusts its price, and if the currency is designed at least somewhat competently and has enough of a working market (both of which are definitely true of Bitcoin), that won't take very long.

Cryptocurrencies are the invisible robot hand of the market. (Which is, I think, not a claim about whether they're good, but certainly a claim about whether they are to be feared. If you squint hard enough, the giant Bitcoin mines in China are the work of an unfriendly AI employing people to make paperclips.)

You complained about their lack of proof first.

I have given arguments [1] why I think their claim is plausible. You haven't given any why you think it's wrong (other than a generic "why should it be true?", which is nothing if not demanding proof from them).

[1] The mentioned communities are overrepresented in any risk category, from drug addiction, to HIV, to homelessness (the sole exception I know of would be suicide). They tend to be more overrepresented when marginalisation dimensioons intersect, as they do here.
It sounds like you are like many others in tech who believe everything should be open source. Good for you but some of us need to make money off of our life's work in innovation.

I'm not a FSF zealot or anything, not somebody who abhors the very existence of proprietary / closed-source software. That said, I do prefer OSS / Free Sofware in the general sense... but the rub is, software being F/OSS doesn't mean you can't make money from it. So I'm not really sure where you're coming from.

Maybe not, in any case the status quo is letting giant tech companies power and influence grow without limits... and that needs to change.

But this ruling benefits the tech giants at the expense of the "little guy". How many startups already never come into being because of fears of being sued by AmaGoogFaceSoft? And consider that most "innovation" is an incremental improvement to an existing "thing" and not some whole new thing cut from whole cloth. If you can't reverse engineer / clone products made by AmaGoogFaceSoft, Oracle, IBM, SAS, etc., it's going to be even harder for smaller companies to contribute their innovations.
The US mil will try anything that might work in order to maintain global dominance, since it has been many years since that has been achieved, a backcatalogue of fails does exist. If things work out or not they will be used to throw off foreign governments and make conspiracy theorists look crazier. I mean, if it threw us off trying it, mise well get a modicum of ROI. George Washington was a master of disinformation, so its in our DNA.

That said I am at the future level by the quick scanning of this doc, there is some partial truths within its muddle and baroque construction. The next level stuff is always arrived at after much confusion. In the 3D spatial world we live in you can view the non-spatial dimensions in some ways most are not aware of. Commonly time is viewed locally as motion and looking outward with a telescope is looking backwards in time. The universe is shaped as a sphere, within the universe the largest objects (black holes) appear as spheres, and the smallest particles appear as spheres. If you smash into either, you see what looks like superfluid vortices.. you poked a hole in a sphere and now.. I will go eat a donut.

I agree this is pretty ridiculous. It does make me wonder though, what is the appropriate way to bring people on when you can’t pay them? I.e. you have no money and are just starting out (1-2ppl), and need someone to help? Do you just make them a co-founder? Or can you structure an employment agreement that grants a substantial percent of equity with a guaranteed salary starting X months after start? I ask because I’m wondering how companies that bootstrap without investment grow headcount.

Edit: I guess I should have been less ambiguous, I wasn't really talking about an employee/employer situation, I agree all work should be paid for. Now that I think about it more, I guess the scenario I was describing was 1-2 people working on a project, and then getting someone else in their immediate circle (i.e. friend, connection, etc) involved. I guess this person would then be called a co-founder, since they are assuming similar risk as the 1-2 original people. My question was more, how have others structured equity for those people, (co-founders?) who join significantly after inception?
It seems to me a lot of time and effort went into this. If it serves OP's needs then it has served it's purpose even if they are the only one to ever use it (which I doubt).

Because BT solved a real-world problem for problem for uploaders and there was a relatively small population of people that needed to be convinced to switch to BitTorrent for the whole community to follow suit. Once a good chunk of uploaders switched to BitTorrent all of the downloaders had to follow them. For social networks you have to convince a critical mass of individual consumers that not only is there a problem with their current situation, that this specific other thing is the solution in a saturated market, and that's it's worth the tradeoffs since it's not quite as polished as what they're using now.

Haha, a year ago I probably would have agreed that this seems a bit ridiculous. But after months of reading about caring for newborns and raising children, it became abundantly clear to me that data like this can be useful.

After about a month of collecting data, we have a pretty good handle on baby's "schedule" and can take a quick look at our dashboard to help determine why he might be crying his little face off. After many weeks of frustrating struggle with this, I can't even put a price on the value of the data we now have. YMMV (:

I had learned the story of the battle of teutoberg forest when studying roman history (in which it looms large as a shocking and humiliating defeat), and I was surprised when I spent some time living and working in Germany that none of my German colleagues had ever heard of Hermann or the battle (as I expected it to be a relevant date in the timeline of Germany’s formation of identity).
I don't get what you're saying. Buy old and used phones directly from the manufacturer?

The point of this is that it's recycling hardware that has already been used. Manufacturing new hardware defeats the entire point.
You got kids? Because you're factually wrong. When we had a kid, we used a mobile app, and it was _fantastic_, especially since it synched between my wife's phone and mine.

My turn to take care of the baby, while she gets badly needed sleep? I can easily check when the kid ate last, when she last had a wet or dirty diaper, without needing to check on the wife - and that kind of information is very useful when she's crying, and you're trying to find out which one of a dozen things is the problem.

It's also very helpful at doctor visits - you can quickly pull up information on how often your kid pees and has a dirty diaper, how much she's drinking throughout the day, and if you have a scale, you can record information.
I am.

I suppose you could say that any linear space equipped with some product on it falls into linear algebra, in which case it would be, but an obscure corner at best. Its sole application is electromagnetism in a non-relativistic formulation. That's a hugely important application if you're a physicist, but compared to the number of applications of linear algebra it's basically negligible.

The inner product is the only one usually taught in linear algebra, and that's because it's central to talking about representations of linear operators in bases.
This sort of feels like an anecdotal example of a bubble. People are so sure of big payoffs that a company can run this sort of job ad and seem to be taken serious.
Companies that bootstrap without investment wait as long as possible to hire/grow headcount.

Yeah, it might take a bit longer to reach higher revenues.
Slightly different result though.

You are really overestimating the skills of an Amazon engineer. Or just working at Google/Microsoft/Facebook doesn’t say all that much about your skills.
>When you become a tenured professor, the amount of work you do is far less than the vast majority of other jobs with a similar salary.

I think you are mixing up the amount of work a tenured professor has to do with the amount of work they do do.

A tenured professor has to do very little. The idea (even if not the reality) is that a tenured professor has proven themselves enough that the one employing them is willing to ease back any rules so the professor can do science like they want to.

The end result should be (and I think is, but I don't have any hard data at the moment) is that tenured professor do a far larger amount of work than they have to, and are comparable if not even greater than other professions with similar salaries. In large part because they are doing what they love.

Consider a programmer who loves programming and does it at home and at work. A professor is similar, except since they get to pick the topic they work on (to some extent), they are working on the same project both at home and at work.

The last tenured professor I worked under put in a lot more than 40 hours, and he was high up enough to not have any classes to teach (I think he periodically taught a grad class, but it wasn't ever semester).
Well, when you consider that most semiconductors have an anticipated operational lifespan of 5-7 years, and the surface contains many such components, 2 years is well into middle-age.
