I don't understand the appeal of doing this live. To me, one of the most valuable characteristics of the Internet is that it is asynchronous by default. You can create content, and I can view it later. That's the default state.

Even Snapchat and Instagram Stories let me watch it up to 24 hours after you publish it.

I fail to see how creating a new constraint that violates the default state of the Internet makes sense long-term.

Would love to hear the counter argument. Just musing... Perhaps at some point they will run them in different time zones? That's still not fixing the asynchronous benefit of the Internet.

To add -- DVRs proved that time-delay is an advantage, and this startup is undoing that. I'm just so curious how that gets massive scale. I've yet to see live video get real, meaningful traction and I largely believe it's because people don't want to always tune in at the same time when the alternative is far superior.

Another example -- lotto tickets. They have a live drawing, but you can buy tickets for up to a week in advance (or whatever duration).

Do you know how Google Cloud Functions compares with AWS and Azure?
That’s an interesting idea, but it sounds like your argument rests on two assertions:

1) Professions tend to become more gender biased over time

2) It was equally likely that computing become a female dominated field.

These are novel claims that require justification. If (1) was true, we should expect to see it in other fields. But many industries seem quite stubbornly gender neutral - for example medicine. (Although many specialties are male dominated or female dominated). And if (2) were true we should see the same profession have different gender biases in different cultures. But I don’t think we see that either. My understanding is that generally the direction of gender bias we see in other highly gender biased fields is consistent cross-culturally. (nurse, prison guard, career criminal, construction worker, child care worker, etc).

This is exactly why I believe Basic Income would be a Big Joke.
Instead, we inflate our consumption and keep working 40 hours

"We"? I'd happily work at software rates for 20 hours/week. And, yeah, I understand the fundamental shift in a lot of things before that's a practical option. I'm not even disagreeing with you, I think you're spot on. But those that have simple, inexpensive lifestyles still don't have the option of working less. So though even I consume more than I used to, I also try to shovel as much as I can into the retirement accounts.

Why would I build new supply if I'm going to be stuck renting it out under rent control? If I already own a property, how can I build more if I can't raise rents on my current properties to market rates so I can afford to build new buildings at market rates?

Rent control causes supply issues. Look at the City of Berkeley. Their supply increased massively right after rent control was lifted in 1997.

> IIRC on my desktop the switch to graphical mode happens about 300ms after loading the kernel. Funnily enough grub2 before that also runs in 4k graphics mode, which given the 8x16px font is somewhat absurd (and the screen redraw is slow enough that you can see that it for some reason happens from bottom to top)

Yeah, I noticed that. GRUB font looks similar to the one that's rendered after the kernel GPU driver takes over.

I also noticed during boot (when systemd messages are showing up) a transition with amdgpu (RX 480, Polaris) where it displays a color mess for a split moment, and redraws the screen in new font after that. Never saw that with Intel.

I haven't used Nvidia in a while, but their blob doesn't support proper framebuffer if I remember correctly, so it causes an ugly resolution during boot.
I think this is on-topic and exemplary with regard to trust in law makers/upholders/enactor: What comes to mind is video footage from the US of local meetings of reps with constituents in the US where the meetings are filled with the frustration of the constituents at the poor and short-sighted decision making by their representatives that would significantly affect the disaffected already - e.g. any anti "Obamacare" sentiment held by and voting against such things that would benefit their communities in the long run over short-sighted possibly political corruption based / greasing the wheels of the seemingly continuous seeking re-election that officials focus on over perhaps their duties to their constituents.

So those would be examples of lack of trust or dissolving of trust emerging as the reps return home from the voting grounds of the capitol(s) to meet their constituents who are questioning the motives and decisions of their representatives who should be acting in their constituents best interested (or whatever campaign promises they used to build themselves up as electable/elected).

(Let me know if this became too abstract, I just did not research and pull examples.)
Does anyone have ideas as to how one could get involved in combatting these effects? I mean as a cause to fight for, where one could make an impact on others' (particularly the younger gen) lives.

I'm aware of the organization Time Well Spent led by Tristan Harris, and have signed up to volunteer (but have not heard back). In the meantime, what can I do as an individual? This is something I've grown to really care about, but am not sure what to do on an individual level besides my own damage-mitigation tactics (deleting FB, etc.)
That’s a real stretch.

End of the day, short term leases make rents float at the cost of making renters second class citizens who cannot stay in any one place or area.

Rent control is a way to deal with that. It exists because voters care deeply about it.
I'm all for getting rid of rent control - as long as she gives up Prop 13 too.
Are White Men really booed during company meetings?
Good points. About validation step, how about a notification that counts down and auto accepts unless you cancel or something? Never thought about it before but having a guy in a random skeezy mini mart say "3.75" then I just tap and it is done without me every seeing if he ripped me off seems sketchy. And that is more sketchy than most CC machines because usually it actually does ask you to confirm the amount which google pay does not.

There is a certain call overhead for JNI that JNA and JNR necessarily share as well. As a normal Java application you don't really have a way to get around this.

Google has caught MMD (Microsoft Marketing Disease), in which companies endlessly rebrand and rename products that are successful, but not market-leading, in an effort to become the market leader, but end up fragmenting their own brands further by alienating existing loyal users and confusing late-adopters and casual observers who don't follow the branding news. This marketing-driven disease spreads to other parts of the business, as engineers see a rebranding as a legitimate time to break backwards-compatibility, but they aren't given the lead-time or budget for a full rework, so the new product is similar enough to the old product that it's obviously just a rehash, but different enough so that nothing that worked with the old thing will easily work with the new thing.

MMD keeps managers, marketers, product teams, and engineering leads busy, and makes executives believe progress is being made since all the metrics look good: there are tech blog articles, Twitter mentions, Hacker News threads, maybe a mainstream media hit or two; all the teams have finite task lists that are getting done; and there's an initial jump in brand awareness and new user engagement. The actual damage to the brand doesn't happen until long enough down the road that the brilliant minds who came up with the idea have collected their bonus checks, awards, and promotions, and moved onto better things.

And now the executives start talking up the need for a new marketing strategy... lather, rinse, repeat.
That's not a binary choice. There are both women that would have been hired anyways, and ones that wouldn't. The quota benefits the second group at the expense of the first.

I think this is where a conversation about professionalism needs to happen. Professionalism is a two way street, we should expect professionals to avoid needless controversy but we should also expect professionals to let things like this memo slide - if some autist's manifesto on a company's listserv makes it impossible for you to do your job, you're not a good employee.
You need to expand your social circle :P Obviously, a generalisation about an entire class is one generalisation on top of another, but i've had discussions with people who have explicitly told me they don't really care how good/bad things are, as long as they are better than others.

CloudSpy | REMOTE | INTERN | PART-TIME | Marketing & Content Writing

Many tech companies nowadays are building their computing infrastructure on cloud-computing platforms. This allows them to quickly build out their solutions using a pay-as-you-go model, eliminating huge upfront investments. However, most companies struggled with the complexity of managing and monitoring their costs using the pay-as-you-go models.

CloudSpy provides companies with simple, easy-to-use tools that let them monitor and reduce their bills on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.

We’re looking for an independant lead marketer to take over our efforts in content writing, and online marketing. This is a fully remote role, with a flexible schedule.

This will develop into a long-term role, so we are looking for the right personality with the motivation to learn and grow as a marketer.

Sorry, why should that matter? Google doesn't trust you to honor your advertising contract because you didn't in the past and they know it because they literally caught your fraud themselves.

You seem to be arguing that a technicality should allow you to use other ad mechanisms, but that's not how real work risk analysis (or morality!) works.

You get the same treatment from banks: default on one loan and they'll tell the others (via credit reporting agencies), because that information is something they need to make good business decisions.
> There should be a title of... Teaching Professor

This is already a job title! An alternative, often equivalent title is "Instructor". And these people are primarily responsible for classroom teaching! And they are primarily evaluated upon that teaching! What you are asking for already exists.

There are also colleges and universities where all people with the title "professor" are dedicated to classroom teaching. Harvard isn't one of them.

> There should be a title of Graduate Advisor

There is. For historical reasons, at Harvard, the "Graduate Advisor" is called an "assistant/associate/full professor". But don't get confused by the name. These professors don't do much classroom teaching, just like most software engineers don't build engines. It's just a title, not a job description, and getting angry about it is just as silly as getting angry that most software engineers don't write software for engine control units!

> we're completely ignoring the issue that a student comes into the university to learn

And assisting in that learning is not the majority component of the jobs of tenure-track professors at research institutions.

Research grants, not undergraduate tuition, pay for tenure-track professors' research at places like Harvard.

You seem to have a deeply flawed understanding about what a modern research university is, how it operates, and what undergraduate tuition money is spent on. That's perfectly fine, except that you're continually arguing with people who try to explain to you your misconceptions.

When it comes to flying devices for the individual I think the thing we learned about all is just how little we want people raining down on us from the sky.

I use Apple Pay regularly because getting my phone + doing Touch ID is faster than getting a card out of my wallet, and I tend to use it at most stores that accept it (which is usually just larger chains, I think).
I'm strongly on the side of less tech in (most) classrooms, especially for younger kids, but iPads are pretty awesome if what you're creating involves video, recording audio anywhere other than at a desk, remote-controlling anything, drawing with a pencil/pen-like interface, or any number of other tasks that your average desktop or laptop can't support well without extra hardware, if at all.

Those cheap chinese knock offs are made with cheap components

I would have to dig deep into my prior comments to find the source, but it was in response to my comment that GoPros don't seem to be a better user experience than the "cheap Chinese knock-offs" (direct quote). Then someone came along with a link pointing out that a GoPro is the cheap Chinese knock-off. They just silk screen their name on it.

EDIT: Found the original, no link, but should be easy to confirm: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12869304 Thanks, DDG!
You answered your own question. It's a borderline scam to make money. Otherwise, they would just use an existing coin (e.g. Bitcoin).
I've used it a couple times to buy something from a website on my phone. That makes it handy because I don't need to fill in CC info and whatnot. But yeah I rarely use it except in that case, Walgreens, or maybe one or two other stores.

Plus bigger stores like Target still don't support it.
> Americans, even those who attend good schools, do not understand statistical claims.

I'm having some difficulty understanding your statement. Would you mind clarifying a few things?

- Do you mean all Americans, or just some?

- When you say "do not understand", what do you mean by that?

- I'm unclear as to why you specifically mentioned Americans. Are you comparing them to some other group(s)? And if so, which one(s)?
Exactly! If the landlord can get a tenant to pay $5000 per month, then the market rate for that particular unit is $5000 per month.
Government is not socialism. Indoctrination is also not socialism. You seem to be conflating the authoritarian/libertarian axis with socialism/capitalism axis. It is authoritarian, it isn't socialist because there's nothing about it inherent to socialism even though yes it is happening within a socialist structure. I think the more accurate sentence is "This is an obnoxious kind of authoritarianism". For example you can have a very socialist, very libertarian governmental structure. Some individuals view libertarian and socialist as opposites but actually they can completely coexist. It just takes viewing both corporations and governments as structures limiting your individual liberty. This kind of authoritarian policy can happen in either a capitalist or socialist environment.

> they ignore the importance of income and social stability

They don't ignore it, they're just not ignorant about the costs of income and social stability.

For example: I grew up in a relatively modest house (3BR, 1,100 square feet) about 40 minutes outside of D.C. Growing up, there were quite a few young families in our neighborhood. Average household income was probably about $70k/year in today's money--relatively well off but not even what you'd call "upper middle class." Today, you'd need about $130k/year to afford to live in the same house. You're talking about a completely different class of people at those two income levels. It's two people with average jobs (maybe even without a four-year degree), versus two people with mid-level white-collar jobs (GS-11, since this is D.C.). It's people who had kids in their 20s versus people who put off having kids for 5-10 years to focus on their careers.

Today, the people I know starting families in the area are professionals making multiples of what my parents and our neighbors made at a similar stage in their lives. Instead of playing the housing bubble game, my wife and I commute in 60+ minutes each way. Partly because it enables us to raise our kids in a neighborhood with young families. But also just out of spite.

All this "stability" is a huge drag on young people that proponents of things like rent control ignore. That grandma living in her rent-controlled apartment is displacing some family that now has to live out further and end up seeing the kids they put off having for fewer hours each day.
They're going in different directions though, so traffic is actually halved.
