That's not exactly actually (UE VR dev here). When you render a game at 90hz (or 60 or really anything), that means your total throughput needs to be 90hz, NOT that the frame needs to render in 11ms.

Since you're dealing with multithreaded CPUs + an asynchronous GPU, you can parallelize and sequentialize all this. How UE works in its DX11 and OpenGL renderers, on a 90hz game, is that you're gonna have the Game Thread (Physics/Gameplay) running for frame N, while the Render Thread (GPU commands / math ) runs for frame N-1, while the GPU executes frame N-2. This allows you a complete frame time of 33ms on a throughput of 90hz, at the cost of more latency.

Looks like they un-linked their Twitter from their Crunchbase... For reference, here it is: https://twitter.com/thebeeinc
Exactly. There's no way Twitter didn't know it had a bot problem. Because pretty much everyone else knew that.

It's only now that the government and media are putting pressure on Twitter to deal with "propaganda accounts" that the company is finally willing to remove those bots, which will diminish its number of "users."

Also, if Twitter's analytics are so poor that it can't tell that a good percentage of its accounts are bots, then I feel sorry for the advertisers buying Twitter's pitch.
Don't VCs constantly fund things (social media or otherwise) that never reach profitability? Isn't that the whole gamble of "venture" funding in the first place?

The monetization aspect is supposedly solved. If I suspect you can garner audience, I posit that said audience can be translated into ad dollars at some point in the future. Only the first part is speculative. And speculation is what venture funding is all about.
I find that there's momentum for most of them. If someone liked your last post, they're more likely to like the next one. If their friends 'wow' react your post, you're more likely to get a higher ratio of 'wow'. If you (visibly) hit 20 upvotes, it's easy to get to 80.

Facebook: Emotional content is extremely popular, so much so that many "influencers" choose to be continually angry or sarcastic. Second is things that are shocking or surprising.

Instagram: Really beautiful pictures first. Use hashtags that get a lot of traffic; hashtags are like a highway, they're how people browse. Good stories matter too, and it's surprisingly a great place to blog as long as you take good photos. Being pretty will earn you a lot of followers but isn't necessary.

Stack Overflow: Write in a format easy to copy paste or step by step instructions. Theoretical posts don't do well.

HN: Productivity advice is very easy to farm, e.g. how to stop procrastinating. A lot of people are experienced; some Dilbert style criticism on bad work habits is easy rep. But jokes and hyperbole get downvoted. Don't write too much, around 200 words is ideal.

I'm an engineer at Wallaroo Labs and I've been writing Pony for the last two years. We're using pony_stable (which is the primary package manager at the moment) and make for managing builds. I currently use Sublime 3 as my editor and lldb for debugging. I know that others are using emacs and vim as well.

We did consider Rust as there are certainly overlaps in their approaches to safety (though coming from different angles). In the end we thought that Pony would be better for managing concurrency for our particular use cases, which we thought mapped well onto the actor model.
Coworkers Will Become Customers – It’s a Good Thing
Facebook is the one that’s been the worst offender for damn near ever. Back in the FB games days you had millions of users with dozens of accounts. Click/like/fan fraud is beyond rampant. It’s really difficult to get a positive ROI out of Facebook advertising. It’s a product used by damn near everyone, but one that only actually works for small niches. But we all do it because, “Well, you’ve gotta be on Facebook.”

20 years in and the only two ad products that really work universally are the intent-based ads attached to search on Google and Amazon. Everything else is just shit CPM awareness spam. Sometimes better than shit when used with intelligent retargeting, but mostly shit.
That Badlands place would certainly not the best riding around (it'd maybe be good in the winter), but it's really not 'wild' feeling at all and is a good example of Wilderness != wilderness.

> maybe we should just leave the wilderness areas alone.

Except that brings into conflict mountain bikers with the idea of expanding wilderness areas. Wouldn't we rather have more areas protected like that? As it stands, mountain bikers who are environmentalists face an agonizing choice between protecting the land in that way, and their access to trails.

That's not hypothetical, either:

See also the Boulder-White Clouds wilderness in Idaho that closed a bunch of trails that mountain bikers were already riding.

Hmmm... no -- labor input reduction is a benefit, sure - but I am under the impression that we use many of these to protect yield, which has been sought to be increased through the use of other petrochems.

we will still use pesticides and weed killers when fully automated harvesting/tending is a thing to still protect yield.

what will ostensibly (and monsanto has been actively doing this - SPECIFICALLY with their Roundup-immune plants) is to engineer plants that can thrive with their yields when doused in poison.

And this is the problem with Monsanto - "fuck the cancer the humans will get - make sure that corn plant is like octomom!"

GMOs are GMOs not because they add to nutrition and health of humans. They are GMOs because they add greater yield to the profits.

Then you GMO the patented seed market and then you control the entirety of humanity.

Three things humans need:

Food, water, energy.

Monsanto, Nestle, Exxon.

They literally are seeking to control those respective areas - and thus, humanity.

Twitter was massively overstaffed before they began to meaningfully grow sales. It goes back to the days of their faster user growth when they were anticipating competing with Facebook and having over a billion users. They built the company ahead of time for that outcome rather than restraining employee growth and focusing on profitability.

They could have probably done both, given what Facebook managed to accomplish financially. FB was profitable at $500-$600 million in sales and around 200 million monthly active users. At that same size Twitter was losing an immense amount of money. At the $2.5 billion sales level that Twitter hit in fiscal 2016, Facebook had around $750-$900 million in net income.
This article tells two stories; one about the actual battle and it’s archaeology and one on its impact centuries later (”But the war cries and clang of swords also echoed through the ages in other ways: as a creation myth – glorious and catastrophic at once — that later forged the German nation. […] The cult around Hermann the German peaked in 1875, when a gigantic monument of him was completed near the town of Detmold. This copper hero holds aloft a sword seven meters long and faces France, Germany’s old foe, beaten four years earlier in a war that had finally ushered in German unification”)

The title, I think, only refers to the latter.

The hourglass is still the equivalent of a spinner. The spinner didn't replace the hourglass as more as became another option for the same thing. An hourglass is still representative of time passing while you are waiting on something. Which is different than a save button referring to an object that you once actually saved data to. The floppy as a save icon was just a bad idea at the time as there were other things to save to.

From the Pony side:

Biggest strength would be performance. Biggest weakness would be maturity. I think almost every pro/con I can think of can fall into those 2 buckets right now.

I'm a big fan of type systems so Pony having one is a big win for me.

The maleability of Pony and its immaturity helped us in some ways. We were able to treat it as a runtime for us to help mold and fit to our needs. That wouldn't have been possible with Erlang.
In large cities across the US (and probably most of the world), there is some very large scale foreign speculation in the housing market going on. This is leading to rising rents and rising home prices.

In Seattle, for example, many (newly) wealthy Chinese people are buying houses purely for investment purposes. I know some of them. One of them has purchased 10 houses, and lives in only one of them (when they are in the states). They've made millions on just this speculation.

In the short term, this means housing prices are absurd. In the long term, when these houses are no longer appreciating in value at such large scales, we can expect a crash in the housing market. Which will likely mean something similar to the housing crisis of 2008.

The Seattle city council has wanted to pass a law that would make it visible to the public which houses were being bought by foreign investors, but it was deemed illegal.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/proposed-...

To me, this is absurd. This is a human rights issue (homelessness is growing by a large amount). This is also a national security issue; this speculation cannot happen forever, and when it ends, I forsee an awful crash.

Good sales people bring in enough revenue for a company to be profitable. But I have no idea how many sales people Twitter has, I think even if they had 100 it'd be plenty.

The amusement is from the comparison to the use of side projects as a proxy/signal for "passion" as part of the job application process and resume support, not side projects in general.

Of course more generally the exploitation of open source work by commercial entities is also ignored in this context, which is also amusing. The number of side-projects that are used for free by commercial entities profiting off them dwarfs the number used to generate income by consulting or as a business. But that's just fine because "open source."

Absolutely the opposite!

We keep all your private data on your device where the algorithm runs and makes decisions on what to flattr. Instead of sending it all to us and then do the same on our servers. This is very conscious choice to make the service privacy friendly.
Also: What data is being bought? Publicly available information bundled up so there's not hassle with gathering it would be ok IMO.

Private data would spark my interest as well. They can't be selling DMs, can't they?

Some practical next steps -

1) Take care of yourself first, workout daily. This will greatly help your mental game.

2) Punch-up your Linkedin profile and formal CV.

3) Define where you see yourself next? Another Sales Engineer role with a tech firm? Something else?

4) Start researching players doing interesting work in your market; then reach out to them.

5) Network; attend conferences, meet-ups, & events. Great way to stay social and uncover opportunities.
I can't find the article but an economist was estimating Trump's worth to Twitter at almost $2 billion. So I can't say I'm surprised; he is the single best thing that has happened for their company in YEARS.

Was the idea. CineForm was developed to avoid patents in 2001, by using technology that patents had already expired: 2-6 blockless wavelets, RLE and Huffman entropy encoding -- this is about that is used to make CineForm. Simplicity is what drove performance, wavelets over DCT is what helps in quality.The patent mind-field is in distribution codecs that strive for the lowest possible bit-rate, which was not a design goal for CineForm.

They can easily get by with 1000? Are you sure about that? What does the timeframe look like for reducing 75% of your workforce and what kind of costs would there be in such an initiative? What lay-off laws are tripped when you do this sort of mass firing?

In 2016, they spent $957M on marketing (which is the area I often hear people saying they should reduce), most of which was personnel expense, according to their 10K filing. I suppose it's easy to look at it and just say "cut it in half" (which would nearly make up the $457M profit deficit from 2016), but is that truly realistic? What affect would that have on top line revenue?
That's a surprising number. Did you interview mostly recent grads?
> To me, this is absurd. This is a human rights issue (homelessness is growing by a large amount). This is also a national security issue; this speculation cannot happen forever. Our economy will very likely crash when this speculation is no longer profitable.

This is my biggest concern with wanting to dip my families toes into their first home purchase. We lived in Seattle last few years and the market is stupid, we recently moved to Bay area and this market is even more silly. (I know we pick some great places for first time home buyer but careers and education take you where they take you, that's another discussion.)
The next big scheme is allready in the making - virtual customers:

You order a shoebox appartment, create a home-maker NN that can fake basic human occupancy, register it online as a new citizen and put it on basic income, and set it up to order stuff from company A. Now those NN trade among one another, sending the stuff in a circle until its scrap or they are broke and its impounded.

Finally, the limiting part for eternal growth can be removed.
I gave twitter another show about ~6 months ago. I enjoyed some feeds, most just felt like "fadspam" where people echoed popular opinion - particularly in tech. I really hated that as a new user I was immediately recommended to follow Trump. I get that algorithmically he's probably seen as a great person to follow, but I really, really, really, had no interest in doing so.

But Twitter derives business value from recommending people follow Trump on their platform, so they'll keep doing that. Strikes me as selling out - would've preferred they not recommend any political leaders.
> He renders no service to the community, he contributes nothing to the general welfare, he contributes nothing to the process from which his own enrichment is derived.

The value landlords provide is the assumption of risk. The premium you pay to rent is in exchange for vastly limiting your exposure to said risk.

This is why offloading the risk onto creditors (ie purchasing real estate with borrowed money under an LLC) is so lucrative. You reap all of the rewards of property ownership, but none of the downside. In a failure scenario your creditors are on the hook, not you.

I should probably add that banks are not stupid and it is very difficult, but not impossible, to get a loan for real estate investment under an LLC.
