Getting Restaurants to Your Food Delivery Business: A Lesson from Delivery Hero

My secret used to be http://www.typophile.com/ which had a font id forum and you'd get an answer from someone usually within a few hours. It was a really cool place.

They were down for a while so I don't know if that community re-formed or not.
> Wired recently deployed a team of experts to deconstruct Apple’s code and found its differential privacy practices to be lacking, a characterization that the company strongly disputes.

If by "deployed" they mean "interviewed about their work". I don't understand Time crediting Wired with the research[0], which does a disservice to their actual sources of funding.

It would be nice if you could link to some of the key studies in this area. Just because there were a few flawed studies is hardly a reason to take it as actionable information.

Has it even been determined that diversity leads to productivity or is it just that diversity is a result of the same thing the productivity is?
I clicked on this to see why too. My understanding is that they were just as anti-privacy as Google or Samsung.

They signed on to PRISM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program) , they happily work with the government over user privacy in articles all the time, and those are just the things we know about. I'm sure there are more PRISM-like back room government deals that we haven't heard of out there, and I haven't seen anything that would make me believe that Apple wouldn't sign on to them.
I am really sorry you read that that way. I was not saying your contribution wasn't useful to the dialog. I was just saying that I think the category of "fit" doesn't need a different term at the front but more a rethink. I was not saying "Exponential Outcome" was a better set of words, but just my first blush at what I think the desired thing in a hire is that could be used to define new terms. I've changed my post to reflect that.

Again, sorry for making you feel like I was shitting on your contribution.
I think with safe-harbor, the model in many places is forgiveness rather than permission. The burden in on the rights holder to remove content and, as you say, there's so much content produced that you can see why they essentially dragnet their copyright enforcement.

But the end result is the same, the model is broken and needs to be reevaluated.
Which business problems exactly? Can you be more specific?

> They usually say something along the lines of "I choose static typing because if I change my Person class, then the compiler reminds me of all the places in my code that I need to go fix." What's remarkable about this is that it's not a reminder...it's an obligation that your choices plus the compiler are burdening you with: you must go update all those places in the code. This is the very definition of coupling.

> There is a way to architect code such that you don't have to revisit 100 places in your architecture when some new data model decision is made/discovered. There is a way to build systems wherein you only have to touch one place in your code when some new feature or data information is needed.

The way to avoid that has nothing to do with static or dynamic typing, though. If you change a protocol then you have to change anything that relied on the old protocol if you want your program to keep working, regardless of your language's type system; in a statically typed language it will tell you where those places are, and in a dynamically typed language it's up for you to find them. If your change doesn't break a protocol that old code relied on, then you won't have to change old code. The only changes dynamic typing "saves" you from making after you break a protocol are bugfixes.

If your code is tightly coupled so that changes ripple through the entire codebase, using a language that doesn't tell you where those changes have to ripple for things to keep working won't solve that.
I really like the documentation page. Very helpful.
> he people buying US debt are not dumb.

You are right. When presented with offers you can not refuse the smart thing to do is to go along, as a matter of survival.

> Since the U.S. is in a superior territorial position and has the advantages of accumulated wealth and knowledge you really have to go out of your way to f--- things up for the U.S. to ever fall out of a leadership position.

They really have gone out of their way. I give it 5 years tops and U.S.A. will be given its U.S.S.R. moment. Don't worry, no actual oligarch families will be harmed in this process.
Kranky Geek 2017: What Does the Pulse of WebRTC Tells Us?
In my experience the "not a cultural fit" line from an interview has more to do with age or price or is just a catch-all "we didn't like something" and not much more than that unless you're talking about specific companies and their idiotic cultures that they think are so important.

There's one company local to me that I absolutely despise and I have interviewed there a couple of times just for fun and was amused both times that the interview went fine only to hear that line. I wear it as a badge of honor--there's no way I would put up with the way they treat their employees.

That said, contacts are contacts and sometimes when you work with recruiters you have to go along with an interview even though you know you are never going to work at that place. And it's fun. But I never intentionally blow an interview, I just know from experience why the whole thing is doomed even if the recruiter isn't smart enough to understand that.

As far as the software development industry goes, it's insane top to bottom. You're better off health-wise staying far away from it.
If universities believe that AI is here to stay, offer tenured positions now to your AI scientists. Universities cannot compete on pay (and I don't think this is bad), but they can compete perfectly well on job security. So play this trump card (no pun intended).
They literally just killed eight people on a path that I bike down all the time. Your comment is poorly timed.

Also, I can't take you seriously when you're saying that Google can do considerably more global damage than IS. Think a little bit more before speaking. IS has directly been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and many more injuries, and has severely curtailed the rights of millions of people in the afflicted regions that it took over. Those are all people like you and I, and what happened to them matters. There's just no comparison between that and you losing access to some API. Boo hoo.
This! We have tried all the points listed there and at least one person has found fault with that. That said, we follow pretty much the order you listed. The people invested in their job search do respond.
Looks like it's stated in section e that you are not permitted to:

Scrape, build databases, or otherwise create permanent copies of such content, or keep cached copies longer than permitted by the cache header;
But precisely that makes this a problem that will solve itself, imo.

Traditionally, universities have paid less, but competed by offering an excellent environment, working conditions, tenure, etc.

More recently, the working environments of most universities have become much much worse; even exploitative. Tenure is much harder to get, more and more classes are taught by part time adjuncts, the administration bureaucracy becomes ever larger and more powerful. Horror stories are everywhere: The frantic scramble for jobs, the poverty wages, the professors sleeping in their cars or turning to prostitution to make ends meet, the politicised witch hunts, the grinding bureaucracy.

In Pantic's story, their student was probably hired way for a salary in the $125k-$250k range. Yes, that's high, yes it's more than a university is probably able or willing to offer. But a lot of people are not motivated only (or even primarily) by money. If you pick a top phd candidate, and make it clear to him that there is a real, viable path towards him obtaining tenure, making maybe $60-80k, having a well equipped lab, and having grad students of his own, and that he'll be a respected, high status individual in the campus hierarchy...many, many people would take that deal in a heartbeat. And that is something which was on offer 40 years ago, and is not an offer now, but could be. (Universities are still well funded; what's changed is the priorities.)

There's no shortage of people who want to be academics; the problem is that the deal being offered to them today is terrible; it's no surprise that the few who have compelling options outside academia are tempted. Boiling it down to being all about money is tempting, but I think it missed the point. If the Guardian had bothered to track the student in the story down, I suspect money would be a part of it, but only a part. And maybe not the largest part either.
Spacex's New Antenna
I invite you to visit Poland. One of the most - nominally - catholic countries.

A few months ago there was a radio show, with a quiz. "What town was the Pope born in ?". Naturally, Wadowice, because there's implicit understanding that John Paul II from Poland was the Pope. People rarely even mention Francis except to rant on him. There's full-blown denial. Most catholics seem to pretend Francis doesn't exist.

Poles like to brag how Catholic they are, but they're Catholic in name. Most don't follow teachings, they just went to church to avoid ostracism. Case in point: there was a media outrage when a prominent figure said Jesus was a refugee. When my brother was in primary school around 30 years ago, he was regularly beaten by his peers because he didn't want to attend religion lessons (in school, no less).

People bend over backwards to justify their xenophobic, homophobic, misogynist etc. behavior.

A major hierarch in Polish Church, Tadeusz Rydzyk, is 70% businessman 30% priest. He commands his own "schism" while pretending he is catholic. He has much influence among old, helpless, angry people. Despite blatantly engaging in politics (like many other priests), numerous instances of hate speech, antisemitism and other transgressions he remains in power, and Church doesn't expel him. The word is they deem him useful, because - although highly controversial - people listen to him. Geothermal energy, media schools, his own TV, and especially the radio station. His total income was recently estimated as 55,000,000 PLN (15.1184 million U.S. dollars). He's 88th on the list of the wealthiest Poles. And since autumn 2015 he received 26.5M + 139.6K + 250K + 710K + 200K + 105.2K + nearly 3M + 70.6K + 59.3K + 120K +11.6K + 216K PLN from various government institutions. Under various pretexts, like payment for coaching of judges, for his media school, newspapers. That's not counting tenders he regularly wins, or land he (and other priests) often buy at 10% or so of nominal value. His radio station doesn't run on advertisments, except ads of his own products and services. It runs on donations. And he constantly complains how little money he has.

Teachings of Jesus are hard to live by and demand self-sacrifice. Relatively poor (to the rest of Europe) and thus highly materialistic, envious, petty Poles don't like that. Love thy enemy ? If someone hits you, expose the other cheek ? Charity ? NO WAY. Once upon a time I had a twisted ankle, and walked slowly with crutches. Suddenly a car stopped by and the driver offered to give me a ride. Then it hit me - I've never received a similar offer before. You see, the driver spoke in English. It's hard to notice something is missing in your country until you've seen the difference.
Even when I was in 25 years ago, universities were replacing full-time professors with sessional lecturers. And bloating the administration budget.

It's only gotten worse since then.

If universities are institutions of higher learning, then the people doing the teaching should have a larger say. Right now (as with many companies), the accountants are in charge.

IIRC, that was the complaint at Digital. The company was doing well when run by engineers. And then the MBAs took over... soon the good engineers left, and the company started building crap.

It's about getting developers back on the MS platform.

e.g. if VS Code and the idea of MS supporting OSS was around 5 years ago, perhaps Windows phone might have had enough apps and been successful.
That is a lucky case then, because for their NLP projects nothing is publicly available. It's quite annoying if you can't get anything.

Does your imagined copyright reform target only photojournalists, or all creators?

It's also not a pure choice between your two extremes. There are various tools that could be used to push this towards a more reasonable middle ground. E.g. through some level of standardization for claim levels, incentives to solve conflicts without actual lawsuits, ...

In this specific case, I find the argument "photography isn't as valuable anymore" not very convincing. If the specific pictures have low value, there was no need to use them without permission. That the photographer likely is incentivised to start with high claimed damages to then get a lower sum in a side-deal sounds like a general bug in how these cases tend to work in the US, copyright-related or not, and should be fixed elsewhere.
Posted an answer for you. As for the move -- I feel like I've spent the last two days in a bar fight. Definitely need to be rich enough to pay for professional movers the next time I do this!
Performance reviews are designed to be gamed by managers. I have never seen one that a) wasn't gamed and b) had any scientific basis whatsoever.
It takes an hour of moderate exercise to burn around 100 calories. So, theoretically yes, but you would have to exercise a lot to see a minor change in weight.

100 calories is 1/4 of a mocha.
> but normal humans cannot love inanimate objects with the same meaning as you can with dogs or other humans.

Iff the sense in question is a reciprocal exchange of similar emotion, then it's true that it can't apply to objects without human-like emotional capacity, but that would seem likely to include actual dogs as well as robot dogs, notwithstanding that it is perhaps somewhat easier to mistakenly anthropomorphization the former than the latter.

I'm not convinced that there is a meaningful, significant sense where there is a distinction that applies generally to “normal humans” drawn at the point you want to draw it; it seems very much to be wandering into No True Scotsman territory.
An easy workaround for the scope issue is to set a custom service account when creating the instance (template). You can then modify the IAM roles for that service account without having to take the instance offline. Allow that service account to have full access to all APIs on the instance level, then fine-tune what's actually possible through IAM Roles.
I was unaware of the salmon paper, but I remember a bit later being very puzzled by a study about comatose/vegetative patients that included brain dead subjects as controls (and off course healthy subjects as well).

I suppose it was meant to convince statistically naive readers that the dead salmon thing didn't apply to their methodology.
The United States exported $2.2 trillion of goods and services in 2016 [1]. That's 12% of our $19 trillion GDP [2]. Moreover, because we run a trade deficit, net exports subtract from our GDP [3].

The reason why where the American economy goes, so does the world, is American consumption. Americans buy. As a result, foreigners end up with claims on American assets. Those claims are an outward transmission channel for economic shocks [4]. The same is not true in reverse.

China crashing wouldn't be nice for us. But it's less dramatic to America if China crashes than vice versa.

Best company I've been hired at did a sample project.

They had the project all setup and ready to go. All I had to do was fill in some of the more complicated bits (hooking up to the database using LINQ to SQL, and implement some queries to search by name/album and two or three other fields).

Then display them in a certain order.

I was given an hour to do it. Apparently, after I was hired, I was told I was the only one they interviewed that could do it. Ironic part was I'd never used LINQ to SQL before and had studied it the night prior. (It was on the job posting)
agreed. if it is a "2 hour" project, have that be part of the on-site interview (with the expectation that people might not complete it)
> This thing mimics the actions of a puppy

Wait. I guess it mimics some actions of a puppy, and I imagine it can be entertaining for a few hours. Then you get used to it, and you start seeing the repeating patterns. For how long can you find entertaining a robot dog that pretends to scratch its ear, for no reason in the world and without actually even coming close to touch it with its paw?
It's not just the fact they kill a bunch of species for free.

So what about those folks that use other DDOS protection services like Cloudflare?

Do we still need to be charged more if we have other measures in place? Seems a bit odd.

Hey, if you just want to raise your prices a bit, just do it (I understand that) but doing it under the guise of needing to "fight the collective fight of DDOS", (not so much).
That's justifiable if the university is funded through tuition fees, but it's an entirely different situation with a university that is 100% funded by taxes.
What you are describing is a phenomenon referred to as "that's just life." It's just random shit--one day you interview the team there could be going through holy hell trying to solve a problem under a deadline. Another time, they're in a lull and screwing around on Slack and in a good mood.
I've had a really hard time finding information on this. What exactly is potentially broken and how do I check my key?
My goals as an interviewer:

1. Do you have a solid understanding of the foundations for your skill/discipline?

2. If you were given $100,000 VC capital and told to build a revolutionary new thing how would you build it?

If a candidate cannot adequately address the first objective then I will find another candidate who can. This is pure and simple elimination with simple non-biased questions on things the candidate should know to do their job without abstractions, tooling, and other trendy bullshit.

The second objective is where I can evaluate my bias against the candidate's, but only after the candidate has passed the technical evaluation in a non-biased manner.

'Fiscal responsibility' is not a meaningful concept.
Sounds really pragmatic. Two people editing exactly the same thing at the same time sounds confusing; not just really hard to implement. i.e. Why would anyone want someone amending as they type. This approach makes the user experience simpler and simplifies the implementation. I like it :).

The only scenario where I can see this being a bad decision would be for bots. For example, if you had a spell checker loaded which ran as a separate user rather than under your own session; so the spell checker couldn't auto-correct words until you'd finished typing the sentence. Here I'm imagining something like Rosie the translator bot from the original Google Wave demo... But I don't think you have bots anyway, so this won't be a concern for the present anyway.
> It's also not obvious at all it's a bubble

It's breathtakingly obvious:

1. Large numbers of people getting poached from academic programs by industry.

2. "This time it's different" is what we've said during every bubble ever.

3. Lots of money chasing a few ideas.

The only thing that's not clear about this bubble is when it's going to pop. People who didn't see the potential of the internet in 1996 missed out. People who got into it in 2000 were left holding the bag.

> we had to participate in a World War to get out of it

I'm not sure that "participation in a World War" was what got us out of it, nor is that an admissible tool to correct a recession. WWII did kick-start a lot of valuable developments, and it allowed the government to write a lot of checks and take out a lot of loans to inject money into industry, I'll grant.

But I'm curious what you think would have happened had the Nazis not come to power in Germany, and Japan not taken Manchuria.
