You must admit the irony in that Nokia example...

If Nokia had instead gone to the lengths Apple does to cut taxes and invested that money back in the company they might still be thriving as an independent entity today...ultimately generating far more benefit for the Finnish economy over the long run than being a shrinking Microsoft division.
Does anyone have any experience of negotiating your costs down with Mixpanel? Years ago I remember my CTO ringing up our hosting provider and in the space of a phone call bringing some of our costs down 90%.
I live in Baltimore. My city just broke 318 homicides. To give you an idea our record is 353. Our police are catching kids as young as 12 with firearms. Kids as young as 14 in brutal armed robberies. If I didn't have to worry about income. I would create arcades all over the city. Complete with huge computer labs and tons of video games. My goal is to create a positive environment that kids WANT to be in. They'd receive help with school and home work, have access to the internet, tons of video games books and movies.

I really just want to get the kids off of the street. There are lots of kids here that don't have two parents that care if they succeed or not. Teach them things like how to deal with their emotions and things like conflict resolution. When I was a kid I had "play all day" arcades for $5. I can't imagine the trouble I would have gotten into if I didn't have that arcade or our library wasn't accessible. I'm in a position now where I can either leave the hood and fend for myself and my family. Or I can try and do something to make a difference. I've even considered quitting my job to pursue this. If income was no worry, I would do this.
Disclaimer: Haven't read the full article, but got the gist.

I have a counterpoint to this. I am from India where if you work normally you will be spending your life in conditions which are not very healthy for you and your family. Your home will be small and in a society where neighbourhood will be lacking in basic facilities like sanitation, security etc.
You might remain happy if you have great friends and a supporting family. But to improve your living standards and getting a healthy lifestyle will ask you for a decent pay which will force you to work more than your peers. And as this is India, the workforce is generally cheap and very competitive so you have to be really good and beat a lot of other people to climb the ladder. And I dare say you can't do that by just doing 'less'.

And in Europe, while we learn British English in school, we actually hear American English through music, TV, videogames, etc. So a typical English speaker from continental Europe will likely sound more like an American than like someone from the UK.
Excellent article from the same coastal thought-bubble that predicted Clinton's 99% chance of victory.

Simpler explanation would be that specialties with the luxury of centralizing (ex: investment banking, tech, advertising, certain types of law, etc.) typically do--for all of the obvious reasons.

edit: And I did not write this as a celebration of her loss or political flamebait. I wrote it to point out that there is a gaping blind spot in the coastal worldview, which has already had severe real-life consequences.

That's true, but the current PM has long been opposed to the ECHR. Even when apparently in favour of the EU.

With the overpowered repeal bill, she can use Brexit to get us out of anything with 'E' in the name, without bothering to put it to parliament.
I don't understand the argument. If Google's objective was to earn respect from many people, then why didn't they quit US or other Five Eyes countries after Snowden? They changed their motto from do no evil to do the right thing. They quash ideas they don't like[1]. They collect WiFi info without permission[2]. They forcibly collect Android location info[3], and many more that people constantly forget (so do I). How does any of this earn respect from people?

Not only that but hidden cameras have been a thing in cheap hotels 'round a few countries for some time (perh since the infamous "X10"). So it's not all that new a phenomenon and definitely not relegated to AB&B --though they get the most press about it, of late.
The argument wasn’t meant to be that texting didn’t exist until the iPhone

It’s the disparity between how popular texting was in Europe compared to the US before the iPhone became popular. Texting didn’t permeate American culture the same way it did in the EU in the late nineties/early noughts

Why else would he use a term like "cyberspace" in this day and age? Or did he speak in chinese and this is a bad translation?
That sounds nice in theory but it looks to me more like an inmates running the asylum situation.

The company or "business guys" should at least hire a CTO that ensures a baseline level of quality instead of letting the developers roam wild and free :)

Unless you're the CTO, then it makes perfect sense.
Professional athletes sleep A LOT, way more than a normal person. The need for rest doesn't exclude them, not at all.

Another difference between professional athletes and normal people is the likelihood of being on drugs that improve performance.

It doesn’t share the wireframe of your face. It shares a generic face wireframe morphed to fit on your face. This wireframe lacks details that could be used to identify you in a way FaceID does. This is not worse than letting the developers access front facing camera to take a picture of your face.
I do some of this but in a slightly different, maybe simpler way:
1. App runs in App Engine (flex). It includes a simple /collect endpoint for mobile events that just logs to /var/log/app_engine/custom_logs/track.json which automatically gets picked up by Google's Stackdriver. App code can just directly log to that file as well to record server-side events. (no network involved in recording events).
2. Stackdriver stores logs in Cloud Storage and also dispatches a Cloud PubSub push to a configured topic.
3. Another mini App Engine flex app receives the message, does the ETL, and inserts the row into BigQuery.
TLDR; Cook said “The theme of this conference — developing a digital economy for openness and shared benefits — is a vision we at Apple share,” Cook said, in widely reported remarks. “We are proud to have worked alongside many of our partners in China to help build a community that will join a common future in cyberspace.”

To me it looks like Cook is telling a kid who is being bad "thanks for putting in effort and let me work with you to be good". You can interpret this in many ways.
Sometimes "good enough" is, well, good enough. How accurate good is good enough? 80%? 95%? It's different for every business, and the needs change over time. 60% accurate for an eagerly stage bootstrapped company? Gold! 60% accuracy on a growth-stage business where you should know what to do? Terrible.

Be limber enough to eschew the tools that aren't working. But "good enough" is, well, good enough for most folks. Perfection the enemy of progress and all that.
there is a range of rockets used by Hamas https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/hamas-qas...

The 'Qassam' are the low-end of Hamas rockets, and they are locally made low quality stuff. The rest is imported military grade production.

>The Katyusha rockets fired from Gaza are commonly quoted to hit Tel Aviv in 2 minutes (35km in 2 minutes = ~1000 km/h)

Judging by the distance and the name Katyusha, it is probably
Grad (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-21_Grad) rockets as by looks and function it most closer resembles Katyusha. The Grad is 122mm and it is the starting system in that type of weaponry and its rocket speed is ~700m/s. The higher-end, 200mm and 300mm, systems fly a bit faster and much farther (typically Chinese versions are even faster and longer range than original Russian).

That's a pretty complex financial problem that you're over simplifying. The flyover states can't very easily invest more, they don't have the growth to do it. The coastal areas do largely have the growth to invest (in some cases a lot of growth), which makes it dramatically easier to do so. They have the flowing tax base expansion, the labor expansion.

It's the difference between being Facebook with 45% net income profit margins, and being a manufacturer in Ohio with 4% net income margins. If you're Facebook, you're drowning in opportunity and cash. Growth does that for you, in many cases it begets further easy growth. The manufacturer's scenario is rock and a hard place stagnation, and if they slip up even a bit, it's bankruptcy.

In 77 years, Arkansas has added one million people. They might add 20k to 30k per year in a good year.

West Virginia hasn't grown its population 84 years.

Mississippi has added one million people in a hundred years.

Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania have barely grown their populations in half a century.

Some of this is down to their mistakes, some of it is shit luck of getting slammed by very large macro economic forces, huge technology changes (whereas earlier technology changes had blessed those locations).

These states are perpetually trapped in a scenario where they can't afford to make the moves to attract sustained growth, and they can't grow because they can't afford to make those expensive moves. It's stagnation hell. The only likely way out, is a major technology inflection point, and being sure to catch the wave.
I agree, we need a better word for that. When Poles complain about Germans because our grandparents were killed by their grandparents in WWII, you don't call this "racism", because there's no racial or ethnic difference. The situation here is similar - it's resentment because of a military invasion.
9 Hottest Wedding Trends to Welcome in 2018
Yeah it seemed utterly ridiculous in the show. But looking at Tim Cook sucking it up like this publicly it doesn't seem so far off now.
Oh man, I've sunk countless hours into CK2. Such a rich game and I highly recommend it.

This post pretty much lays out a facet of what I love and alludes to the bigger picture: start with a historical setting and run with it, often diverging.

One game I became the king of Ireland and then somehow the king of Britanny. I then only had female child heirs. They got overthrown and ended up cast out of Ireland.

I was intrigued by that so I started a game as a count in Britanny. Worked my way up to the petty king of Britanny. Somehow engineered inheritance of another duchy - became a proper king of Britanny and then somehow became king of Aquitaine (so the king of half of modern day France).

EU4 is another fantastic game based on the same engine. Less focused on dynasties and more geopolitics/colonisation, this also throws you into historical settings. As Portugal, I became holy Roman emperor - they got into a fluff where no one liked each other so I was the only choice even though I wasn't in the HRE.

I'd love for Paradox to officially "link up" all the games so you can go from ancient Rome all the way to say the modern world. That would mean EU: Rome and Victoria on the new engine and also a new cold war era game they definitely need to make (focusing on modern geopolitics).

Clearly a secret Paradox fanboy!
Even if this were true at a macro level, I've got to imagine there are plenty of investing opportunities at the micro level. Smart people with the right skills who for various reasons don't want to live in SF, NY, etc. And because their expenses are lower, they are happy to work for a lower salary than their peers in those cities.

And who knows - maybe if top talent can be enticed back to these places then the trends you describe above might start to reverse.

I have ~80TB of hard drive space in a home server that is always on. I also have a static IP address and high speed internet. I’m not currently using this particular space for anything, so I’m interested in hearing proposals from the community here on what to do with it.

For example, I’m considering becoming a mirror for a variety of open source projects. The obvious ones are Apache, GNU, etc. Alternatively I’d be happy to donate storage resources to scientific research groups.

Suggestions welcome, as long as they’re legal and useful. For what it’s worth, I’m located in NYC.

Could you elaborate on why that might be?
Jared Diamond's thesis (rather like I feel the skyscraper/landscraper thesis is) is quite overstated. The climatic zones running from Mesopotamia to China are quite varied, and there's rather little evidence for technology transfer between these two endpoints. By contrast, the climatic zone from the northern edge of the Valley of Mexico to the boreal forests in Canada is basically one smooth temperature gradient, and we do know of rather extensive trading and tech transfer in North America (particularly, the introduction of maize to the independently-developed agriculture quite revolutionized developments in eastern North America). Not to mention the fact that the Americas don't seem so far behind Eurasia the more we do the archaeology: Norte Chico is now dated to at least 3200-3500 BC, a date competitive with Ancient Egypt and not too far behind Sumeria in terms of developing civilization.
Wouldn't it be the case that adding Python won't deliver the performance needed? I think the choice of Lua is probably because it has to be performant.
My managers, and their managers, have worked longer hours than me at every job I've ever had, including retail jobs in high school, academia in grad school, and now software engineering.

Once you hit the C-Suite you don't even think about work-life balance, because your work is your entire life. I know people like that, who have enough money to retire in their 40s and live in luxury without ever working again, yet they don't want to stop working.

uhm, no? you're pushing what you want, what you hope his point of view is unto him.

however action talks more than words and as far as we know, as seen here, his point of view that money trumps morality and truthfulness and he'll say whatever his role at Apple demands him to say, both to government and customer, playing both sides for as long as people like you let him a free pass.
Just another senile moment of our beloved uncle...
When you’re actually good at something you do, dont give 100% in all the time. Get a feeling of what your clients/boss/etc. need to be happy and try to exceed it marginally.

- Be capable of 100 in normal working hours

- Be expected to deliver 70

- Deliver 80

This provides also a good buffer for errors and other unexpected stuff. And reduces stress.
An interesting related thought I had recently was: why are we optimizing the technology we develop to help / increase the productivity of, those who work more/harder?

...and not the other way around? It seems like everywhere: even in software, languages and tools that increase the productivity of "lazier" people (aka more "contemplative" or "think a lot, do a little" type of people) are basically always abandoned by industry after the "transplantable" ideas are extracted out of them (Lisp-s, lots of other meta-programming tools like OMeta, lots of functional languages with advanced type systems, lots of ideas for smarter-IDEs, smarter-debuggers etc. - basically what we've chosen to use as professionals is like 20-years behind what "can be done"). And same is true for most consumer facing technologies - nooooobody wants to develop device or apps that minimize user engangement! When this is exactly what the "think a lot, do a little"-people would need to have their output increased without requiring them to work harder.

Also when it comes to online classes and all. There's very, very few content designed to "let it seep in while you have a beer on the beach"... very few "high density but low focus-requirements" educational content. So to make any meaningful progress at learning something, you have to actively make a schedule with hours-lengths chunked of focused time at regular intervals... aka "work hard"! But I know from personal experience that this is not the only way to learn stuff!!! Many of the things I know I've "soaked into my brain" in pretty low-engagement ways that may have taken years to learn what others can learn in weeks of concentrated effort, but... it's just a different feel to it. This kind of knowledge was acquired effortlessly and I can use it effortlessly - I just load up a problem into my mind, and my subconscious just presents me with the solution, no need to actively think about it! And this is just amazing, you get that "god / the-universe downloaded the solution into your brain" kind of high.

Also, at the other end of the spectrum, we don't seem to recognize that a large percent of the population has too low IQs to be able to do any meaningful work in the current world. And yet basically all mind-augmentation technologies are targeted at people that are already smart. Nobody's building a "Siri that could help mentally challenged people work as nuclear engineers", when that could very well work.

Shouldn't we maybe use technology to actively fight against Price's law instead?

Shouldn't we focus on developing technology for achieving more through doing LESS? "Give" less, but "get more in return?" What's even the point of striving for anything else?!

According to a comment elsewhere on this page, the PAC-3 interceptor has a 19/22 (= 86%) success rate in tests. But in the article we are commenting on right now, they fired 5 interceptors at the target, and apparently all of them missed! The article hints that the issue might have been that the system misclassified the targets and hit the booster instead of the warhead.

The moral is that you can't be sure that the success rate is independent, there can be systematic errors that affect all of the interceptors at the same time.

I find that this is something that sometimes sort of just happens to me, when I get aware of something I'm doing better now than, say, a year before.

But, I never really consciously decide to do that, because then I find it just doesn't work. Like the cliché of standing in front of a mirror and saying to yourself "today is gonna be a good day" (Has that ever worked for anybody? Where is this meme coming from?)
