It seems likely kalanick encouraged this stuff. Combine that with weak controls and who knows what upper middle management has dreamed up across the company. I'm sure the CEO is grilling people about all the shit they're doing that will ruin his day when a newspaper reports on it as we speak...
I think bitcoin will finally separate the good debt from the bad debt. It is my personal belief ( as in i don't know of any formal theory ) that debt should only be incurred for the use of building a productive asset. That covers completely your business loans argument. In a deflationary currency, this encourages businesses to ensure that productivity increases will have greater returns than savings. Instead, our financial system has encouraged the acquisition of debt for fixed assets. The only thing this has done is bid up the price of those fixed debts with debt, and handed over the money for supporting that system to banks and their owners. In order to stimulate growth in such a system, the only way that you can function is to tax savings. That's what inflation is. What it forces people to do is to invest in increasingly risky assets, because of the loss of their purchasing power. Hence bubble after bubble after bubble. Crisis after crisis after crisis.

Bitcoin will eventually stabilize to an ever appreciating value asset. But what it will allow you to do is save for a house. If you have a business proposal that encourages people to pay you for a good or service, people will invest their savings in it and take on that risk. Banks will instead move back to providing capital to businesses, using savings from people that are willing to invest. Businesses will again focus on productivity increases, because that's how you get access to capital.

I also don't think it is going to be resisted quite as much as people think it will be. People still need to pay their taxes, and that is not going to stop. The main thing it is going to do is prick the bubble of consumer debt, and remove the banking middle-men from that space. That alone is a multi-trillion dollar industry, let alone the annuities that banks own and graft from, from those assets. Removing these people (i.e. banking debt suppliers) from positions of power, by strangling their access to capital, is a justification for bitcoin in its own right. Imagine a world in which banks didn't control governments.

That's the way it is supposed to work i think. It is pure genius.

When I first started reading about housing affordability, I was all for the kinds of upzoning this article (among many others like it) is advocating. Today I still believe it would be an effective approach to improving housing affordability, but some recurrent gaps in logic have started to bug me, so today I avoid the debate rather than take part, or rather stand on the sidelines and cast aspersions, like this:

- there's a lack of deep investigation and analysis into why people prefer single-family neighborhoods so strongly; the few articles that do go into the social and psychological picture tend to be ultra-leftist and include such themes as "anti-privacy" which I'm obviously against

- the debate over housing types is tied to the debate over transportation types, and there's no representation for people who agree modern houses are too big but still prefer to own a car (even if we don't use them all the time)

- the whole conversation is pretty much set up and run (on both sides) by people who aren't severely affected by any of the policies they're advocating, and who will be able to afford the lifestyle they want regardless of what policy passes, even if it might force them to take two annual trips to Jackson Hole instead of three

- truly unique ideas have a tendency to get lost in the fray, like even if you run the one of most popular blogs in urban planning and propose a solution to housing prices in (e.g.) Portland [1], the typical voter will never ever hear about your idea, nobody will ever turn it into a workable policy or perform a serious analysis of what it might do, and legislators won't give it a moment's thought, so why are we even posting about this (I'll throw in my $0.02 -- green roofs should count at least partially towards open space requirements)

- the fact that some people just don't like certain kinds of people, motivated by race, religion, lifestyle, politics, aesthetic sensibilities, or even vocation, is always bubbling beneath the surface

- it's not clear how we're going to modify political, legal, and educational systems so that if people ever DO accept sensible growth policies, they're doing it because they understand it will improve their lives and not because they've been threatened or bribed or shamed into genuflecting in the presence of economists

You just must have had a bad CS program, my undergraduate degree involved plenty of those types of projects.
Stryd, Boulder, CO, Techstars Boulder 2015 | Human motion algorithm designer

http://www.stryd.com

Stryd is a multidisciplinary team that is enthusiastic about the future of wearable technology for athletes. Out of this passion, we’ve developed the world’s first wearable power meter for runners that provides insight into their running technique and performance. Stryd is currently being used by many different national Olympic teams, professional running teams, and many competitive track/road/mountain runners.

Stryd already has the world’s best foot motion tracking model built in house, and we plan to expand this model to more type of running applications (hiking, running in the sand, etc.) This is a very challenging algorithm problem with unlimited possibilities.

You will be in charge of improving our current model, as well as designing and developing new sensor fusion algorithms addressing current and future Stryd products and motion tracking applications. You also need to take active role in identifying new trends in research related to sensor fusion, motion tracking, optimization theory, machine learning.

Requirements:

1. Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent required.

2. Experience with inertial sensors, GPS technology, and machine learning algorithms.

3. Excellent knowledge of Matlab/C required.

4. Ability to understand, design, complex algorithms correctly in Matlab/Python and implement in C efficiently.

5. Strong mathematical/physics/analytical background preferred. Previous relevant research experience preferred.

Being able to relocate to Boulder is required. BTW, if you like running, Boulder is pretty much your dream place. You get tons of opportunities to run and train with LOTS of elite athletes who are Stryd ambassadors here.

Salary & equity depends on experience.

If interested, please send an email to kun@stryd.com

Thanks!
Would you have thought of all Snowden revealed by yourself if he hadn't?
It is accurate from the perspective the investors actually made a lot of money out of him. Matt Levine sums it all up very well:

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2015-12-17/martin-sh...

In short his hedge fund tanked, he started some new companies, retrospectively backdated the shareholding of the new company to make his loss making investors from the previous failure shareholders, that company ended up being successful and floated, those investors made a lot of money.

But everything about what he did to make that possible is entirely dodgy/illegal.
I have Little Snitch running and the only two connections the application attempted to make were for coinmarketcap.com that is setup as the "exchange" to get the current market price and the exchange I currently use when I added my wallet.
Android phones are not widely used for surveying critical infastructure unlike these drones. The fact that a Chinese product sends data to China is hardly surprising, but US intel is warning that such a thing is dangerous considering what these drones are frequently used for.

And those Android phones are made by companies around the world. Samsung phones send data to South Korea, Hauwei to China, etc... Some Android phones are sold without Google's apps and send nothing to their servers, so you're not really correct on that.
Shkreli was convicted of fraud not theft. His lawyer could also say that Shkreli didn't actually kill anyone.
So now I ask this:

Given that google probably does more software interviews than you do, why do you think they ask such questions, even to experienced candidates?

The comments and original post are great. I keep a directory called Core that has project notes, code snippets and a journal. I recently started using VS Code and a few extensions have really pulled my "system" together.
That is cool. Most Australian airlines don't seem to. I am guessing the US (and maybe European) ones still might do. (Some of my pins are from Pan Am, BOAC and SAS)
The parent has nothing to do with this topic. This is about whether 500S can pay the money it owes to the startups they fund. The parent is purely insinuation and is not based in fact, nor is it relevant to the fund; rather, it is simply trying to throw shade at Dave McClure, who is no longer with the fund, regardless.

This is shown to be especially true by the fact that parent never even had a conversation with anyone at GOAP, as they didn't respond (by parent's admission).
Trees with “Crown Shyness” Mysteriously Avoid Touching Each Other
Great little app! I noticed that my balance is different from the one listed in the exchange I use. I'm assuming it is because it is using coinmarketcap.com instead of the wallets right?
This sounds absurd. The claim is based on a person with “some knowledge”. I imagine my quirky aunt has similar worries about dolphins warning the crabs about her crab pots.
If, however, your priority is greenhouse gas emission control and mitigation, then solid locally grown food production would be seen as more important.

Is it? One could argue that commercial farming produces far less greenhouse gas emissions than a lone farmer in his backyard. Shipping a few hundred tons of tomatoes a few hundred miles is probably less CO2/tomato than a guy driving around Berkeley in his beater, dropping of a few pounds of tomatoes to his customers.
That's a very good point actually. It was meant to flyby the outer planets, and its mission was extended when it refused to break down.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've read all day. I can't even think of a comparison to further illustrate the stupidness of this sentence.
The Bottom of the Barrel of Science Fraud
Right, and this is actually exactly the area that I am interesting in improving: providing a canonical, systematic way to store and represent the actual requirements & specifications, and provide ways to feed into other software such as PLM or project management, etc.
Coates’s proposal isn’t (much) money in individual pockets, it’s very much like you suggest, subsidies and capital infrastructure.

Like I said, pretty compelling arguments and plan.
"I consider myself analytically-minded, and statistics still gives me a headache"

"... blah blah etc."

I suspect you do yourself a disservice. I think you instinctively know how to interpret and analyse discussions that involve statistics. That will include seriously complex and probably abstruse (to the layman) discourse. You are probably not a bleeding edge exponent and probably not in the habit of dropping papers on the world.

However, I think you might be able to mess around with equations involving mu 'n' sigma (int al) without breaking a sweat.
ChipTone: Free Tool for Generating Sound Effects and Music
A salaried job that only gives you 5-10hrs/week is a niche unto itself.
Nothing new but click bait NYT headline. This is basic Zoning law. Nothing has changed. Zoned A single structure either SFR or single 1-4 units, not 3 structures. The developer should know that minimum lot size has been a hard rule for a century plus. Don't play with facts to bend reality and cry victimization or ordinance.

By the way I don't live in Berkeley. I do visit friends who own homes there.
Not magical. Fucking terrifying, and uninterested in the management layers designed to insulate any level staff from the consequences of this mistake. Compare Rickover.
If you are talking with a lawyer, it's different than talking with a non-lawyer
Yes, that's much more of what I am aware of in the context of PLM. As I wrote in a sibling comment, I'm interested in improving the storage and representation of the requirements/spec itself...
This has always been the case. They're just publicizing it now.
I have been following this for a while and was always amused that no one lost money. The actual witness the prosecution brought forward made money. It's why I believe this whole affair is for Public Consumption. They need to hang someone and he became a target. It didn't help that he couldn't just let his lawyer handle everything. He would have probably avoided jail and payed a small fine.
I think companies need _both_. Specialists can miss the forest for the trees, and at some point you need to go into the last 20 of the 80/20 rule, which requires supplementing or specializing your generalists.

And I believe it's entirely possible to be both; to be a better specialist you need to be a better generalist, and vice versa.
> The suburban lifestyle needs to be subsidized

All infrastructure is subsidized, including the lifestyle so beloved by young urban hipsters with no children. So?

Lafayette, Louisiana is in trouble because it had an oil boom followed by an oil bust.

And the idea of dividing up regions of the city by whether they "make a profit" or not is, to be blunt, just goofy. Yeah, revenue is generated in the industrial and business regions of town rather than in the residential regions. That's...unsurprising.

To expand a bit, imagine a block that has a branch of Bank of America, five apartment buildings, a small park, and a clinic operated by a non-profit.

Using the exact technique shown in your article (but on a smaller scale), the BofA branch would have a huge green spike, while all of the others would be red.

By the "reasoning" in the article, everyone except BofA should have their taxes raised.

Umm... no.
It's true, his case is interesting in that there really was no victims. It was a victemless crime. Still a crime however.

There's a wide spectrum of severity when it comes to personality disorders; just because one person with BPD is beyond help doesn't mean others are unable to lead reasonably normal lives with the disorder.
Splitting is also common among individuals who have upset personality disorder. Such a horrible disease; I can only hope we once live in a world where upset personality disorder is identifiable and treatable.
You are right, I did, but I think so does the parent of my original reply.

The GP of the original reply said "Randomise your bucket names" and the parent said this is "Security by obscurity".

The point I was trying to make, was that using a random name, as the GP suggested, is as good as using some kind of security with a password of the same strength.

Assuming there is no way for somebody to get a list of all the buckets, and therefore not having to "guess" the name.

But yeah, it has nothing to do with security through obscurity. Sorry.
Thank you for this--extremely relevant! This is very very close to what I've been looking for / researching...
I'm not necessarily doubting, but what is the Linux vulnerability you're referring to?
Is the seizure of assets a punishment or restitution?
Frankly I think the outcomes of adopting Bitcoin as a legal currency would be wildly different from the picture you're painting.
Apparently Tha Carter V is also being seized according to https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4319658-Shkreli-Forf...
Well spoken!
Right, Azure has an interesting offering for a global database with CosmosDB but AWS is leaping ahead of the game with global tables and multi-master/region Aurora, which are far more usable and productive than the others.
So what's stopping the Bay Area from growing out onto uninhabited land instead of trying to pack the existing areas even more densely?

Yes, there is value, but IMO, it's nowhere near what it costs directly in dollars not only the employer, but all the employees. I mean they are essentially doubling everyone's salary in the big SV companies, just so they can meet "face-to-face," on rare occasions.
> Isn't it a court decision, not a regulation? Are we all talking about Citizens United?

No. He's probably talking about the establishment of corporations by the Joint Stock Companies Act of 1844[1], or its American equivalent.

Citizens United did not invent corporate personhood. That dates back to when the concept of a corporation was first established.

Industrial and business areas make money.
Residential areas don't make money.

You'd see exactly the same pattern if you divided the "dense urban core" up into smaller regions made up of businesses and apartment buildings. The business buildings would make money, and the apartment buildings would not.

And?
K I'll ask my CPA in a bit
But is his lawyer correct that forfeiture shouldn't occur in a situation like that?
i hope favorite does not imply best.
Information is so free that the noise to signal ratio is trash. It’s worth paying for a solid channel.

Somehow I feel a model marrying journalism and industry certification could work. Ie if you read and do some examples from every magazine then every 3 years you’re very likely to pass a certification test from the magazine.
The fun thing is that it increased adoptions of EVs in the short term. It is easier to design a building for them in the beginning than to add it after it is constructed.
Hmm, research and technological innovation are a bit interconnected it seems.

Obviously, the implication is we should toss out capitalism!
Right. Society saying fraud is illegal with minor consequences, is an invitation to commit fraud. What I don't like is how disproportionate the DOJ is with individuals vs big companies. Shkreli will get fined into oblivion, the equivalent for the tobacco, sugar, and personal credit agencies would be cutting them in half, or maybe even their destruction.
That I dunno. If no one has been left out of pocket, one could argue that there is nothing to return. Who or what are they compensating if no party suffered a material loss?
Likelihood functions, p-values, and the replication crisis: https://arbital.com/p/likelihoods_not_pvalues/?l=4xx.
Great! We need to do much more of that, and build it near public transit and extend public transit to new up zoned areas. For instance BART would enable a lot of people to avoid traffic if it extended around the whole bay and straight across from Fremont to the peninsula.
60,000 years ago, humans were just leaving Africa. So I would be impressed if 60,000 years from now, anyone remembers that Voyager is still out there!

==============================

I am Full Stack Developer with 8+ years of commercial experience. My selling point is ability to prototype and execute rapidly due to extensive list of technologies I know and industries I've worked in.

I am open to consulting opportunities as well as long-term projects or employment in the areas of software architecture, tech leadership, backend, frontend development, data analysis, machine learning. The ideal position would leverage my extensive experience, software architecture knowledge, detail oriented approach and ability to execute fast.

I prefer remote/semi remote opportunities but I am willing to relocate for selected projects.
They say these new thrusters will extend Voyager's lifespan by 2-3 years.

Just curious but does anyone know it's mission in interstellar space? Is it more than just a fun experiment at this point?
I'd guess that most of those households are still getting a cable or satellite TV package. My OTT-exclusive household routinely breaks 100GB/month, and we aren't even very heavy TV watchers by American standards. To get that at equivalent speeds is an order of magnitude more expensive from every wireless provider I've checked, after eliminating the ones that don't even offer an equivalent combination (e.g. ~$700/month from Verizon, ~$1000/month from a local WISP). I'm not a metro-scale wireless guru, but I have a hard time believing that any realistic 5G deployment is going to have enough capacity to handle a large-scale exodus from wired connections.
