Well, now is different than before.

Before:

- technology was at it's very infancy

- the number of capable engineers very small

- ai the glimmer in engineers eyes

Now:

- technology at the stage it's bearing fruit of the next iteration

- the number of engineers is vast and among several companies

- ai is here to do narrow tasks well

One thing that this period has, that the 60s didn't. Is that someone can leave university and do something so radical, it leaves the big guys speechless. A case in point, the solid lidar. Or look at George Hotz with his self driving company.

You couldn't do that in the 60s.

Or what about jumping another 20/30 years ahead?

- Quantum computers will be available

- General AI may be around

- Self Driving cars, flying cars and HyperLoop variants will be around.

- SpaceX inter-planetary transport may be around.

- Mars missions a reality.

As you go down this list. It's not just 1 company or the government that is doing the research or product. It's several companies all competing with each other and pouring Tens of Billions or dollars into the industry.

Those are the differences to then and now.

Trust me. If 20 years ago or 40 years ago. You'd said that we'd have two stage rockets both landing back. You'd be laughed out of the room. Nasa engineers said it was impossible... How things change!

Anyway we can go round in circles. Like my Dad, I doubt you will change your mind. But like I tell him, if you reach 90. You'll see a lot of changes!
The problem with AdBlock Plus is that, as far as I can tell, the way to get on their "unobtrusive ads" list isn't to actually be "unobtrusive" to any meaningful standard, it's to pay them to qualify you as unobtrusive.
Sounds like you got pretty much exactly what you would have in an IPO (presumably at a lower valuation of course) if you'd decided you were bullish on growth and didn't want to diversify.

The main thing you missed out on was the ability to 83(b) exercise. If you don't know, that is something you can do in the first 90 days following the stock grant, where you write a check to the company (usually some administrator the company designates) that exercises at the same value as what the grant was written at. That means you 1) don't have any capital gains to worry about, which with AMT can be a big deal, similar to NSO treatment and 2) start the long term capital gains clock, so you are potentially taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income.

Since it sounds like this startup went out of business (?) I think you were essentially treated as well as possible.

> Property developers in the city where I live are deliberately deceptive about this.

You mean, you need somebody else to tell you if you're sold "view" today, it does not include guarantee nobody will ever build anything on the land between you and the "view" ever, just because otherwise you'd feel bad? You can not figure this out just from knowing you only own property rights on the small piece of land and not on anything else, and did not buy any "view" rights? Maybe if you can not figure this out, buying expensive property is not the best way to go for you, at least without consulting somebody knowledgeable in these matters. You can not expect everybody behaves in your best interest, and they certainly do not owe that to you. If you don't own the rights and the land, there's zero guarantee the view will be there tomorrow.
Loans are not limited to cash. You could also rent a tractor, or pool money across multiple farmers to buy a tractor which is then shared etc.

Now, we can debate the benefits of ownership vs. rentals. But, the risk profiles look very different.
Not sure who you are referring to when you say "we" relied on gossip and hearsay to determine what's true.

I clocked my share of years of life before google was even born and I have no recollection of the times you are referring to, very rarely gossip/hearsay were hold as truth. Maybe you are refferring to times before reading and writing was a thing ?

Nowadays I do not rely on social medie as I do not even have "social media" (care to explain what this buzzword means? I still have found a sense to this word). I do use the web and search engine to search for information but I do not hold what I found as truth and I can usually recognize bunk when I see some.

There are some people with an ability to think and some even have access to critical thinking.
> 3. Firefox also has completely separate profiles, in addition to container tabs. The UI isn't as polished as in Chrome, but it works: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-...

Chrome allows users to simultaneously run multiple profile instances, each with it own profile. Firefox didn't seem to support that.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... (or a similar addon) might bring me back to using Firefox.

With Chrome, one set up a profile shortcut to a given profile, and then all tabs/windows within the instance corresponded to the same profile. This meant hitting Ctrl+T to open new tabs, rather than having to click and dig through a menu to pick the right profile.

I'd like the containers addon to support easy shortcuts. Maybe on hitting ctrl+t, one can then press 1-5 (or some other selector) to determine which profile the new tab opens in. Alternatively, more safely and less confusingly, just having windows sticky to a specific profile, so all new tabs predictably open into the same profile.
So this is essentially ZURB Foundation for Email but with Bootstrap.

I'm excited to try it out.
I see it as a compliment to NATO, especially if Trump keeps weakening the alliance.
Bcash is just another altcoin.

The sole reason for the existence of Bitcoin Cash is pump and dump + (covert) ASICBOOST by Bitmain (largest chinese ASIC manufacturer) leading to greater centralization and an unfair advantage.

Besides that, Lightning Network can be deployed much quicker. In fact, it already runs on testnet e.g.: https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-desktop / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhpg_8D2FPI

Beats Intel Broadwell and Skylake in many memory-bound codes and surprisingly enough it can compensate with core count and clocks for its meager SIMD units even when running strongly instruction and cache-bound codes like GROMACS.

Among the many questions remaining consumption/efficiency is certainly among the top and which accelerators will the ThunderX2 platform be paired with first? NVIDIA does not have (officially) an Aarch64 driver. AMD's OSS ROCm stack however will soon be released for Aarch64 [1].

I don't get paid more when CPC goes up, either. Pay is related to the value of the work done, but it is not yoked to it. An important additional factor is how much it costs to convince someone to work for you. For some reason, this is a unpleasant concept for a lot of people, even though these people in turn shop for deals at stores and on professional services.
Google is a target because of their strong relationship with Obama/Clinton/democrats.

Isn't that a problem Lord of the Rings Online (and I suspect also other games) have "solved" ~10 years ago?
Very interesting idea. Totally unrealistic in modern Europe, but I'd love to see some EU members testing it within some inner bloc (e.g. Baltic states?)
I've had good experiences with Vultr as well. I'm surprised they're not more popular.
2 free bags is a proxy for money (usually $40-50 per checked bag), but your observation about inflight entertainment is interesting.

Virgin absolutely has an image edge because of their reputation for service. My Canadian friends hate Air Canada's reliability apparently, but it's such an upgrade vs the US majors for me that I go out of my way to choose Air Canada when I'm making a trip up North. Hopefully these things will start to matter more...
There used to be phonebooks on the Internet where you could put in your personal information and if everyone else did so too then you had this giant database of contact info where you could look people up. These of course had to make money somehow, but when you're sitting on a giant pile of personal information that's quite valuable in itself. It's a pity most uses of personal information for financial gain is morally dubious, but as long as you stay cash flow positive you don't have to turn evil.

Everybody understood implicitly that you only put in your own information. Giving away other people's personal information to a some company for which it is clearly valuable is not considered nice. It's simply not yours to give away. For the few who didn't understand this most companies had this in their terms of service anyway, as there could be legal risks involved.

All those companies are gone now. They are out-competed by a select few very large companies who did everything possible to make it very easy for people to input everyone else's contact information in their database, including making that behaviour default in the software that ships with your phone. In the beginning you could ask people nicely not to input all your personal info in third party phone book services. That's not really possible anymore.

The days when you could practically opt out of these companies are long gone.
If DuckDuckGo is your default search engine, you can simply use its bangs instead.

Such as "!w term" for Wikipedia, "!a someitem" for Amazon, "!yt video name" for YouTube etc. Also see "!g term" for Google and/or "!s term" for Startpage, Google without tracking.
The notion that a parallel from of coordination between underfunded militarys either materially threatened British relevance in the EU in the past or acts in any substantial way to replace it's military might in the event the EU needed to act outside of NATO in the future is extremely dubious.

However minimal this effort is, it is certainly wise given Brexit, increasing influence of isolationists and nationalists in the US, and Russia's appetite for power projection.
At some point Hinton will bag a Nobel or equivalent for his contributions to machine learning.
Thank you all for your input.

Here's a bit more on it:

It's not a "millions of users" idea, so scaling for that may not be an issue, but security certainly is and it will require a team with the experience to make sure it's properly engineered.

These are not the kind of users I'm going to impress with a mom&pop, made in my garage, app. That approach is impossible.

The marketing effort is likely to be the key to success and the market really needs some in-depth research to design both that and the app.

It needs to be studied and brainstormed by a team to do it right, but it is a big market waiting for a solution to be presented so an opportunity exist to design and build and offer one.

WOW is instanced, but the instances are all hosted by Blizzard. Instances are basically a replication of the world state, and managed automatically depending on load. If you join a group, you will automatically switch to the instance those players are in.

In Destiny, some of the instances are hosted directly on the client. Depending where you are and what you are doing.
I wouldn't touch anything that at least doesn't publish a terpene profile.
This is the calculus that you need to make in business travel, even at startups. You're flying out your CEO on a business deal to Asia, on a 10 hour flight. You can save $3k by flying him/her on Economy, but what is the hidden cost to the business by having him/her be a zombie for the next 48 hours while he/she has to negotiate a deal?
>We actually do, both when it is driven by rational (e.g., shifting money into a monopolized market) and irrational (encouraging time-deferred costs that people are known empirically to discount) forces.

"It's driven by rational and irrational forces" isn't an explanation.

>But they can't, because UBI is a redistributive scheme; without price discrimination based on income before both UBI and the taxes funding it, you can't adjust rents to capture it.

So you're saying the bridge scenario didn't and can't happen?
Copyright desperately needs reform. It's silly we treat completely different areas with the same set of rules. From code to movies to math papers. Fine, let the Mouse be protected indefinitely. But nonfiction works have objective value to society. It's insane that 100 year old scientific works are still copyrighted and paywalled. It's wrong that you can be sued and even go to prison for spreading and preserving humanities knowledge.
Huh, didn't recognize the URL for Sci-Hub but then realized this is not THE sci-hub but another one who stole it's name. Correct URL would be https://sci-hub.cc/
With Trump and Brexit, it's not unfair for the rest of the EU to build contingencies in case NATO breaks down.

Note: Not all EU countries are part of this, and NATO is still the primary alliance.
Why do I have a feeling that this is driven by pharma to increase drug prescriptions to lower blood pressure?
Handling massive amount of players is always challenging, but there nothing unique about it. PlanetSide 2 exist for years and its able to maintain hundreds of players in same area just fine and more than 1200 per "continent" which built of tons of small zones that have almost perfect sync between them.

As for tracking character state and region instancing there tons of MMOs that doing it for years too.

Brilliant jerks never interrupt anyone and listen to everyone. But they always find a way to do (and make other people do) what's best for themselves.
Largely agreed about certs. But the actuarial exams aren't worthless. We may need to look to a new model.
A politician elected on a populist platform doing things to stand up for his people is an "ulterior motive"? To me, an ulterior motive would be getting elected on a populist platform, then taking actions to benefit his own commercial interests.
Facebook and vid.me as well. And twitch for streaming.
As someone who works with Angular, the vast majority of the searches I find myself doing are in the nature of "how to make X library work with Angular". It's just a massive beast with a lot of moving parts, some of them only tangentially related to use of the actual library (I find myself doing a lot of searches related to the Angular CLI, Karma tests, etc).

The other thing that is frustrating is that the changes across the different versions of Angular are so dramatic that the best way to do things has changed pretty massively over time, and old versions of Angular are still employed pretty liberally by companies that don't want to have to go through the process of porting everything to newer versions. As a result there can be dozens of different ways to do the same thing and determining which is best based on your particular situation is non-trivial.

Great so now instead of alcoholism being the number one reason for an emotionally numbed population now we have weed that makes people emotionally numb. I know I'll get downvoted but I don't think people realize how people are emotionally detached when they are high all the time just like if your friends with an alcoholic. There still your friend but you certainly waren't as close as before.
Very possibly - and Qualcomm seemed to agree. They're board mentioned "regulatory uncertainty" in their reasoning.

> Say, all EU countries can vote for the chancellor election in Germany

Technically speaking, not even the Germans are allowed to vote a chancellor. ;)
Frequency modulation (or phase modulation as traditionally implemented) (as in the Yamaha DX/TX) series tends to produce sidebands with a non-linear response to the modulator (index) parameter. This leads to both the 'shimmering' and 'nasal' sound of many patches, and in many ways is the "sound of the 80s" (DX pianos) that many find cheesy. There's a modified form of FM that has a more 'natural' sound, and the same algorithm can be also be used to generate nice bandwidth limited square, sawtooth, and triangle waveforms for 'analog' synthesis emulation.

Paper here:

http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=15506

I once wrote an implementation of this in C++. It does sound different than the old Yamaha-style FM. But I was never able to make it into a finished 'synth' product as a VST or whatever.
I would strongly advise against caring about any leaderboard position. Besides, you get banned here for having meltdowns or showing your true policital opinion. I feel it likely this is going to happen to you (and me) sooner or later. So ... just don't care about it. Care about the real world. Even money is a better thing to care about.

The leaderboard here is internet points. That and a sac of crap is worth significantly less than a sac. Keep that in mind.

We don't need types that mandate the same policy for every value, we need "this value is immutable" and then maybe hints about whether copying or aliasing is likely to perform better at each call site.
Nobody takes pride in a new jet save the manufacturers and the people who fly it.

People do take pride in the security and strength a jet provides in times of crisis.

You can't achieve any of the things you take pride in without the ability to defend yourself. In your case, you have America do it for you. What would happen if America didn't spend more than Switzerland's entire GDP on defense?
Let me get this straight.

Destiny has peer to peer server hosting at $60. Also it’s expansions are paid.

Warframe (a similar game which people have compared it to) is free to play with no $60 up front charge and also has peer to peer server netcode. Nearly all of in game content is locked behind you grinding for resources and waiting for it to be built. Every expansion is also free.

Why am I paying for a game if it doesn’t have dedicated servers? And I’m forming over money for the expansions ?
Ask HN: What are the best 2016/2017 Macbook Pro alternatives?
Yes, having 400 000 people use bicycle or walk while waiting for their Tesla 3 has significant positive effects for the environment. And if it can continue for few more years, maybe these people will permanently convert to cycling.

Firefox does support multiple isolated instances, just without a prominent UI. You can use the Profile Manager (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-...) or command-line flags to launch and manage separate profiles.

The UX around multi-account containers is still being worked on, but the contextualIdentities WebExtension API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/AP...) allows add-ons to interact with containers, so a third party developer could create exactly the experience you've requested.

Some comments here are asking what would be a better process. I think a big step is just stopping with the requirement to get the optimal solution. If I was doing these interviews, brute force is fine. If they can come up with a brute force and write code for it, they completely pass my coding bar. Some may say that's a low bar, but it's not. Because expecting anything more is going into rote memorization territory of algorithms. It's also not realistic. In the real world, brute force is always the first solution and it's the right first choice for a number of reasons:

- Brute force is often simple to understand. That directly translates into maintainable code.

- The business constraints on the input size may make the brute force an acceptable solution.

- If you need a better optimized algorithm, brute force is a great place to start. It's basically your test case generator for verifying that your more complex algorithm is right.

After they get brute force code written, the coding part is over and the rest of the interview is about discussing why it's brute force and what we could do about it. But no more coding is expected. It's a chance to be creative. If they want to talk about improving the algorithm that's fine, let's draw some diagrams. They want to throw more hardware at it? Sure, let's talk about how to scale that. Maybe they've actually seen a business problem before that was similar? Great, let's discuss how you solved it.
This is case-by-case. I have a buddy who is a business owner (retail, to boot) and is baked 24/7. Quite an enjoyable character.
