I don't understand why FB has to come up with a plugin for websites when there are other tools that already handle the chat / messaging experience across multiple channels, and the Messenger plugin only does one channel - Facebook.

And what about customers who don't have a FB account, or would rather not communicate with businesses via FB? This just introduces an additional barrier to a customer or lead who have questions about a particular product and service.

As someone who ran an e-commerce business selling on both Facebook and other platforms, I wouldn't put this plugin on my storefront, and would rather use some other solution out there.

> For businesses that already have a sizable Facebook presence and regularly engage with customers through their Facebook Page, a chat plugin for their website may make sense as they won’t have to maintain a separate channel for user inquiries from the web. It could also take some of the strain off the company’s support email, which is where many websites today direct customer questions.

This doesn't really make sense, since this just shifts the strain over to FB. My staff would still have to answer questions coming in from email and Twitter and other channels.
Ketones aren't the goal of the ketogenic diet, they're the side effect of not eating carbs. Exogenous ketones, like this product, will put you into ketosis, because you by definition have ketones in your blood and are burning them for fuel, but I don't see any reason that fact alone would give you the real benefits of fasting or low-carb.

Fasting is good for you because it encourages autophagy; the body senses there isn't enough fuel for its needs, so it breaks down old, worn out cells and uses them as an energy source. This helps the body get rid of damaged cells and their damaged DNA, which may lower incidences of cancer.

Low carb diets limit the amount of sugar in your blood. Sugar is an inflammatory agent, and systemic inflammation leads to a whole host of issues, including heart disease and diabetes. Burning ketones in addition to all the sugar you're already eating will do nothing to offset the damage of an inflammatory diet.

This product might be helpful for switching over into ketosis for the first time. If your body isn't used to low-carb or fasting, you tend to get headaches, moodiness, and so on (often called the 'low carb flu') while your body adjusts. Having a ready source of ketones might mitigate that. Or it might not. As far as I know it hasn't been studied.

But I'm not aware of any mechanism by which adding ketones would offset the issues of an otherwise shitty diet.

I am certainly biased, but I built a job platform because I felt all the existing job boards were lacking, called Limbo.

https://www.limbo.io

The long and short of the problem is that great folks are often employed and finding your next ideal role is too time consuming and emotionally taxing, and that great folks with diverse backgrounds are unfairly discriminated against at resume review time. Limbo attempts to solve those problems with an anonymous job platform.

I deeply understand the need for H-1B's for bringing in highly talented individuals. However, I can't stand how the argument seems to completely ignore the Americans who are displaced because of abuse of the H-1B system.

It seems a bit deceitful to paint this story solely through the lens of "immigrants" while lots of Americans are being directly replaced by H-1B workers.

I do not expect to go to another country and displace local workers. I do not expect to be granted a work visa in a place that I do not belong. If I go to another country to work, I expect to be providing a skill or talent that is not present in the local economy. Further more, I expect that I'd be teaching that skill to others. Or at the very least, be in the position to lead the growth and development of a team until a local worker can do my role.

Why should we expect any different from the H-1B's that the US grants?
People jsut set their animations too slow. (Seriously, nothing should ever take longer than 500ms)

They could start with 500ms and subtract 100ms from each UI activity after each time it is used until the delay is 0ms.

The user would learn the interactions on the screen first and then not be bothered by the animations later. As a bonus the user might actually thing the program "speeded up after a 'break-in' period".

This does not work. The economic incentives are biased towards fast releases of mediocre software. Whoever delivers faster and cheaper tends to win.

Quality is detrimental to the business. Good software does not require support. Paid support earns money.

An initial release that is stuffed with features takes longer to develop (the competition gets the customers) and has fewer incentives for later upgrades (less income after initial release).

Software cannot really improve unless quality standards become mandatory. The liability disclaimer should go. Engineers don't get a free pass if their products don't work. Why should software be treated differently?
I've run into this before too. As someone who is rather competitive, it's easy to get pretty deep into almost anything that's competition based: Poker, chess, video games, athletics, sports, etc. You have to really make sure you like the activity itself instead of just the competition. It's not worth spending 10k hours on a video game just to be #1 and have that sense of accomplishment, you're going to have to really make sure you enjoy the ride and come out with something valuable instead of just a 10k hour hole in your life. Life has to be based on creating value, and not just competition as a way to pass the time. At least that's the way I'm trying to live my life.
Craigslist is fantastic for Bay Area tech jobs.
Insurance rates for human drivers could easily skyrocket, relative to the rates for robot drivers, while declining in absolute terms, because the overall cost of providing insurance at all would decrease.

You can see this effect today, with motorcycle insurance. Motorcycle riding is far, far riskier than car driving, and it is a largely voluntary activity. You might expect that motorcycle insurance would be spectacularly expensive relative to car insurance, but the opposite is true: motorcycle insurance is so cheap I don't even think about it, so cheap I pay for a year at a time - under a hundred bucks, I'm not sure how much exactly.

Why is motorcycle insurance so cheap? Because providing motorcycle insurance is cheap. Insurers charge whatever they have to charge in order to make a profit over whatever they have to pay out, and motorcycle insurers don't have to pay out very much or very often.

Step into a hypothetical future, where level-5 auto-driving is everywhere, and collisions overall have dropped by 100x. The cost of providing car insurance will necessarily also have dropped by 100x - perhaps even more, if the types of collisions which remain are less damaging. If most vehicles are driven by cautious, predictable robots, capable of maneuvering intelligently to avoid other vehicles, then even human drivers would get into far fewer crashes than they do today. One can imagine a drunk driver speeding and swerving down a highway but failing to hit anyone, because all the robot cars are casually and gracefully weaving out of its way.

What can we expect, then, for people who still want to drive their own cars? Yes, likely they will pay a higher insurance premium for that privilege: but so what? With collisions overall being so rare, and car insurance overall being so cheap, insurance at a 10x or even a 100x markup compared to robot driving is still likely to cost less in absolute terms than car insurance does today. What's the big deal?

People will continue to drive manually for fun, or because they like old cars, or because they live on a farm, or in the woods, or because they like to go camping out in the woods, or whatever. Manual driving is simply not going to disappear overnight like this article is suggesting. Instead, I think there will be a slow, steady drift toward automation, much like we've seen with the gradual transition from manual to automatic transmissions.

Motorcycle riding won't be automated any time soon, that's for sure. What would be the point? So we'll have humans piloting vehicles on the highways for a long time to come, in some form or another.

The gig economy is how the world worked prior to World War 2.

Prior to the Great Depression, 90%+ of the US population was independent workers.

It's been a very short period in human history where lifetime employment, sitting still in one job for 30+ years, became fashionable.

It only became fashionable when the US government saw an opening to conquer the world, but needed to insure they didn't drop the ball, and tried to institute workers rights and the like, in a very hacky way, at that.

There's really no reason it has to look at all like it has to live a fulfilling life of creative output.

The whole dream of acquiring a stash of capital to free oneself from the daily grind seems largely illusory to anyone under the age of 50, thanks to many other things but the gig economy (IMO, the gig economy itself being a reaction to shitty office life conditions; the people are saying FU to oatmeal cubes, and staring a screen, being hassled by coworkers to do their job for them.)

A modern hunting-gathering lifestyle has been shown to promote positive moods on life as well.

Perhaps the notion of corralling the masses into "problem solver" groups (corporations) focused on some billionaires "problems" (not enough billions) isn't a sustainable model given inherent features of human biology and desire for free agency.

If you think about it, it's really just paid servitude to a rich master. Not really the American notion of freedom given history.
I wanted to post this since 1) it seems to have huge impacts on Silicon Valley and 2) I really haven't heard really anyone talk about this yet.

Here is the most probable scenarios I foresee.

If you are a pessimist about autonomous being bigger part of transpiration then add 2 years to DATES shown below.

2021 : Electric Self-driving on-demand FLEET Car 1000 miles/month SUBSCRIPTION from Google, DiDi, Uber, Renault/Nissan,Tesla, VW,Toyota,GM for $400/month

2024 :same 1000 miles/month SUBSCRIPTION $200/month

At $200/month Subscription price for 1000 miles/month (which is average US driver car mileage/month), savings are so big as average car ownership is around $400/month ( AAA Estimate ) , all inclusive of

- Car depreciation

- Insurance cost

- gasoline cost

- Repairs & maintenance costs

- extra 1 hours/day you get in NOT-Driving

(EDIT: This Model I mentioned is Summon only, there is NO OWNERSHIP of the Car, is it monthly pay instead of per RIDE Pay .
In this Model, All the Major CAR Manufactures of today offer these FLEETS with monthly pay of 1000/miles month SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Being a) no-driver Cost b) ELECTRIC c) RIDE Sharing d) mass adoption -- is the key for Lower price tag of $200/month
)

The above is Phase 1, in Phase 2 starting 2025 Google will be supplying only "end-to-end Autonomous vehicle Software system" for a fee of $5000/year per car for ALL the CAR FLEET companies .

Google will run small FLEET of Autonomous CARs for the purpose of "Reference implementation of Software" much like "Pixel Android Phones" to showcase the Reference implementation of Android ( for all other Android Vendors )
Well that's just it - using the word "generally," the US does poorly. Gap or no, if a huge swath of your population can't compete, that reflects poorly on your country.

There's a gap in China as well but it's made up for by a massive population. Lord forbid they close their gap, that'll be the end of any other country's ability to compete as China and India just throw five hundred million engineers each at their technology sector.

Generally churn factors. Stuff like importing young talent opening up further exposure to that talent moving on but also atrophying your in-country educational structures and investment. Kinda the societal version of "publish or perish" - always chasing just short-term dollars, without regard to long-term planning.

U.S. education is absurdly expensive already. That's another topic but by the time you get to graduate school, you are already in debt...a lot of debt.

Considering graduate school is also unduly expensive to begin with, many people are not going to want to take on a big loan they won't be able to pay back.

The result will be a lack of higher skilled graduates from U.S. universities. It's already a problem for the U.S. and it will get far worse. That's not good for the U.S.

It is some "scrum master" who comes up and says 10% of our customers have said that feature X on our app would be awesome and based on this POOMA-ed projection we will have a 10% improvement in retention and 100% improvement in some other random statistic, completely ignoring the fact that you are negative impacting things like speed and responsiveness that the other 90% of the user base gives a crap about, which was not captured in this random survey of yours
