As a privately held company, Basecamp does not seem to have to worry about shareholder lawsuits. Public ones do.
I know about 30 people who use Telegram but 25 of those are Iranian. Seems to be more popular in countries where VPNs are common, I'm told because Telegram uses less data.
No. of course not.

A lot of scientific calculators do this. They have a fractional arithmetic mode that keeps numbers you input as fractions as fractions in the output.

Scientific calculators even have irrational modes where they represent irrational numbers such as sqrt(2) as sqrt(2) and can do 100% precise operations on it. Like sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) will give you a result of 2

For example, we pay out team in Shanghai between 3000 USD and 1000 USD per month. They represent the middle class. Yes, it is less than many in the US, but it is still high enough to enjoy consumer products, travel, and invest in their future and their children's. Plus salaries are increasing 2-3% a year. Government spending on infrastructure is a huge part of GDP, but if you take the high speed trains in China you will see that every seat is sold out and they are not that cheap and if you go to a Chinese tourist location, it is packed, and tickets to enter can easily be 30-40$. This is anecdotal evidence of course, but I would recommend a trip to China - both coastal and interior - if you are so skeptical. Flights are cheap!

I'd say the congestion in Denver is less than Atlanta, DC, and Boston. Those cities are all front runners as well.

"But their popularity has been accompanied by a wave of misbehavior. Because the start-ups do not use fixed docking stations, riders abandon bicycles haphazardly along streets and public squares, snarling traffic and cluttering sidewalks. Thieves have taken them by the tens of thousands, for personal use or selling them for parts. Angry and mischievous vandals hang them in trees, bury them in construction sites and throw them into lakes and rivers."

"Bike-sharing companies – with their capital-intensive, cash-burning, ride-subsidizing business model – were among the hottest startups in China. ... But this is how quickly a frenzy can deflate...

It's kind of strange to see how Telegram and Coinbase turned out. HN was practically hyperventilating against both of them. (I was a part of that rabble.)

The words had merit, but it's weird to see that they didn't really matter.
Detroit is shifting fast in this regard. It still has problems, but it's not the city it was 10 years ago, which is what I think a lot of the perception still is.

The Detroit bid put together by Dan Gilbert and team highlighted the fact that almost 50 million people live within a 5 hour drive of the city, with a huge collection of major research universities. Another big push or two like Amazon HQ2 can provide, and I think the city and metro area become highly attractive as an economic destination like Chicago dominates today in the same region.
As if those were the only choices. I'd rather stay where I am than live in either place.

The apps are also really nice. Every platform has it's own native application that runs fast and feels great to use.
Note that you said high rise. A 2 story building with half dedicated to retail has too much retail in general (in some specific situations it might make sense, but if every building did that there simply isn't enough need for retail space). However a 100 story building with only one floor retail needs more retail space to satisfy the residents' needs.
I want to believe it's a local cultural thing. We, the locals and the companies, definitely encourage our friends and employees to be happy and healthy.

The 70-80F always sunny weather and relative affluence definitely helps too.

>super dense cities like Tokyo or New York can feel suffocating

Not all of Tokyo looks like Shibuya Crossing! Do a Google search for "Tokyo residential neighborhood". You'll find mostly two- or three-story buildings. The main difference? Streets are extremely narrow by North American standards and represent alleyways. This sort of development is what urbanists describe with the buzzword "human-scale".

I should have said:

We don't change the IPs often and we always update the list well before they are ever used (typically months before). The last update was two years ago.
This is the same for me, but keep in mind that chat programs in general seem to be extremely geographically-specialized; each global region or sub-region seems to have their own.

Telegram's user base is primarily located in Iran, which is why most of the people I know who use Telegram are Iranian. Most of the people I know who use Signal are US-based, usually more tech-oriented.
Satellites are expensive and frequencies are limited. Even if you solve the first, the latter isn't about to change.

Demand is also limited. Not a great combination, so your vision on multiple low cost satellite service providers isn't likely to come true.

There are only a few satellite owners you can buy broadband service from, not a 100. It's capital intensive and past bankruptcies don't bode well for new entrants.

Satellites can and do run satellite to satellite comms, a "mesh" if you like, but it increases latency.

Neither are balloons likely to be a viable long term solution.

I really like Tachyons.

Not being tied down to global styles is so nice. The downside though, is that anytime you make something you have to redo all the styles. I find this not to be a huge deal, though since you can just turn them into components.
It also seems like the best option for people to host larger discussion groups.
I’m finding the wix style guide very useful, because it provides baytle tested components for atomic elements (buttons, dropdowns, checkboxes) without imposing an overreaching design on you. (But still provides layout components)

The article alluded to the point of diminishing IQ return varying depending on the industry - I think it would be interesting to also measure the IQ of the team behind that leader - I wouldn't be surprised to find the tipping point to be some multiplier of the median IQ of the team in question.

Do you have a source for this? Historically, republican voters are both poorer and less educated (which in and of itself has class implications).
However, none of those demographics are relevant if they are all located in solid red states. Given that most people seem to attribute the swing state losses to the 'we need jobs' votes coming from the manufacturing and steel industries, the swing implies it's due to jobless (poor) and/or working class voters, the exact demographic you say was not the determinant.
Yeah, sure the pictures are for maps, but in the end Maps turned into a place where businesses have to be present as it is the de facto location based search engine. At the moment, I am not sure how they are making money with maps, but I find it a little odd that they keep asking to contribute pictures when it clearly shows that they are tracking every movement of you.

So something is wrong there (at the very least that they are tracking us all).
> To a degree that stands in stark contrast to Europe. Over 60% of the population of Germany's capital lives in the city proper. Just 11% of the population of America's capital lives in the city proper.

Eh, D.C. is an outlier due to its special legal/territorial status. And the numbers are uneven in Europe as well. In Los Angeles, 3,976,322/13,131,431 (30.3%) of the population of the metro area lives in L.A. proper. Compare to Paris, where only 2,206,488/12,405,426 (17.8%) of the population of the metro area lives in Paris proper.
>The study’s lead author, John Antonakis, a psychologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, suggests leaders should use their intelligence to generate creative metaphors that will persuade and inspire others—the way former U.S. President Barack Obama did. “I think the only way a smart person can signal their intelligence appropriately and still connect with the people,” Antonakis says, “is to speak in charismatic ways.”

This. I know of someone that invented what appears to be useful medical technology; certain trusted professionals in the field that reviewed the work agreed.

However, some of the case law around what they'd need to patent the turned unfavorable around the time they were pursuing this and looking to turn it into a business. For your reasons 3) and 5), they've shelved it. This was an individual, not a large company, and without sufficient legal protection to reasonably hold large companies at bay, there simply was not sufficient reason to pursue this effort given how questionable the return would be.
"is an arms race that's been going on for a long time"

I'd say not always. Some websites attract a high number of unsophisticated scrapers, and a few clever ones. If it's high volume, blocking the former is often worth it just for the reduced load. I agree that going to war with skilled and funded scrapers is futile.

I don't know where you live, but you clearly never experienced a city the way it's being described by the others in this thread. I currently live in the US in a small town in the midwest after a long stint in California (socal first then bay area).

Previously I lived for a few years in Madrid, an extremely dense city by western standards. I used to walk home from the office (roughly a mile and a half) when the weather was good, took metro and walked in bad weather. Bars and restaurants were all over the place, and it wasn't unusual I would walk by a store with something nice in the window and decide to go inside to see if I wanted to buy (young dude with a lot of disposable income, that was nice).

Over time I got to create relationships with the owners of the stores I would visit more frequently, and it wasn't rare to meet coworkers randomly by getting a beer in a bar with a friend. We would join groups and my social circle would naturally change over time.

Fast forward to now: I go from home to work, then back. I never meet anyone I haven't made plans to meet. I buy everything online. I haven't made a new friend in 3 years, and the variability of my social circle is also very limited. I'm bored all the time, and I eat too much and watch too much tv because I have no idea what to do with some of my free time. It sucks, and I wish I could go back to that lifestyle because it was a lot more fun than anything I experienced in the US.
This is arguably spam. The "link to fix iMessage if it crashes" just opens up a ton of ads with women in lingerie.
The Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area is pretty strong from the education and workforce point of view. Locally there are three highly rated research universities: UNC Chapel Hill, Duke, and NC State University, along with a number of smaller schools: NC Central, Shaw, St. Augustines, Meredith, William Peace, Wake Tech, Durham Tech, etc. Go just a little further out and you have Campbell, Elon, Wake Forest, UNC Greensboro, NC A&T, and the like.

And the area is already known as a strong tech hub, with companies like IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, EMC, and many others having a long-time established presence here.

I can't really compare to Toronto since I don't know much about that area, but I'd say one of the strongest reasons to consider the Triangle relates to the workforce and the education scene.

Well Denver won best transit in America recently to be fair. This article points at what I'm saying: http://fortune.com/2017/10/13/uber-lyft-public-transit-rider...

Fewer people ride public transit when ridesharing is available. Ridesharing actually substitutes more for public transit than for driving, which means it puts more people into small vehicles and creates more pollution and congestion. Whether you see it in growing Denver or not, less riders ultimately means less fares, less funding, and less service.
I'm unsure about bike stealing, but I know it's cheaper for them to buy new bikes rather than fixing up old ones. They just throw them out in large piles in disrepair.[1]

Unfortunately NXP nuked a lot of the free support from orbit when they acquired Freescale.

It's so bad most commercial listings usually have something along the lines of "Not suitable as living space" in them. That's because you can rent a small ground floor office in some of the further north neighborhoods of Manhattan for almost half the price of the same square foot apartment, with similar amenities.

The kitchen will be tiny (so is the one in your apartment), the bathroom will be tiny (so is the one in your apartment), and the offices might be tiny (so is your bedroom in your apartment).

I understand you need egresses in case of fire and things like that which many offices don't have such things, but I feel they would be better served as apartments since they stay vacant for years at a time.
I would be fine with this if they require businesses who are taking tips to advertise that fact. Then I can happily not tip. Why would I voluntarily pay extra for my meal if it isn't going to the server?
Synergy does the same thing but is FOSS and also allows cursor sharing.
Precisely! Offering this as an option (a simple option, not a new business model in itself) would tap into a user base that uses ad blockers already anyway. So yeah, that would establish a sort of ceiling and communicate some information to competitors, but not much more. Anyway I'm convinced there's a solid rationale for not doing it, but I'm not sure what it is.
There are many meal replacement shakes like organic raw meal, which barely have any sugar and pretty low on calories. I mainly have it for breakfast.

There's a difference between smart people who are leaders and smart leaders. A smart leader should know how to hire smarter people and extract good advice/insight from those people.

It's also much harder to safely solve crosswords, do math problems, or carry on a conversation when driving a car as compared to using transit.
Sounds right out of Gödel, Escher, Bach :

Achilles: I see the dilemma now. If any record player—say Record Player X—is sufficiently high-fidelity, then when it attempts to play the song "I Cannot Be Played on Record Player X", it will create just those vibrations which cause it to break...So it fails to be Perfect. And yet, the only way to get around that trickery, namely for Record Player X to be of lower fidelity, even more directly ensures that it is not Perfect. It seems that every record player is vulnerable to one or the other of those frailties, and hence all record players are defective. (p77)
> Outside of this strange vocal minority that shows up here, very few people would actually prefer to live in an urban area

If that was really true it would create a huge arbitrage opportunity for people to make billions of dollars by building their businesses out in cheaper areas.

> The high paying/skilled jobs are there

Yes, but the question is why? If most people don't want to be in cities as you say, that would also include business owners, who could save a ton of money by moving their businesses into cheaper areas and paying lower rents and wages.

But that's not happening, on net. We're seeing the reverse. Businesses that fled to the suburbs 60 years ago are steadily moving back into cities.

Many of these are sober, fortune 500 companies that wouldn't be moving if they didn't see a clear economic reason to do it. It's not some "strange vocal minority" position.

We are returning to the long-term average for civilization since the first cities began 6000 years ago: cities are the centers of economic activity and power. America went through a weird inversion for two generations where that wasn't true. We're now reverting to the mean.

Not sure why someone would go for a component to do this, when it can easily be done more flexibly with your own code.
Being simultaneously brazen about probably being on the receiving side of a zero-sum game for retail investor cash and in any kind of network-effect business (a messenger surely counts) seems like a solid recipe for a heavily-subscribed ICO.

One simple reason is resource cost. Having a non headless browser is more expensive. Therefore at scale you are wasting resources.
Pretty much like a Normal Rockwell painting. A community near to you and all the advantages that come with it.

- The ability to just stop by a neighbor for a drink or a chat

- Somebody to give your house keys to while you're on vacation, without inconveniencing them since they live so close

- Being able to call your doctor off hours in an emergency because you have a personal relation beyond your yearly visit

- The grapevine that will let you know if somebody saw your kid hang-out with the trashy teenagers

- Ability for your kids to walk to school, so you're not wasting your time driving them. Same for your parents, they walk for their daily groceries, instead of whining about how they no longer can drive and making you feel guilty for not chauffeuring them around

- Ability to use your neighbor's car when yours is in the shop, because he doesn't need it since he generally bikes to work

Basically, supreme convenience. A small town has everything you need for daily life, at your fingertips. There's redundancy and fallbacks literally around every corner for life's little setbacks, because you have actual convivial relationships with your neighbors.

Some people really don't care about that. Other people really do. In America, the second group is SOL. If they want that convenience, they'll pay dearly for it. In other countries, it's the other way around. The norm is the walkable town, and the exception is the sprawling burbs.

Here is a recent article about how people are switching from public transit to ridesharing and not from driving as many people expect: http://fortune.com/2017/10/13/uber-lyft-public-transit-rider...

It doesn't make sense to say ridesharing "can't or won't compete with mass transit" when its literally the main thing it competes with.
How does Venezuela at all represent capitalism? It's the latest example of what capitalism is not.
Most cities have a walkable area someplace, normally just outside of downtown (close enough to downtown that residents walk downtown), but often note actually downtown. Often is is just a few blocks so it is easy to miss (and there is a lot of traffic which is not ideal)
I find a bit suspicious about this ICO. There is no official information about ICO, there is no whitepaper. Or we are went so far that whitepaper is not needed anymore?

Lots of more precise words are not particularly 'big' words. One shouldn't have to pre-edit one's thoughts to pull out the better word because it doesn't fit into a typical 5th grade education.

I love older British children's literature because it doesn't do this at all- it expects the kids to learn new vocabulary along the way. Check out 'Peter Pan'- the verbiage is no different than if it was targeted to an older audience and the better for it.
Convex optimization and its mixed-integer counterparts have developed amazing results. But not all planning problems fit this framework.

There is an entire community dealing with "AI planning". They try to find action-sequences leading to a desired outcome. Every action is defined by preconditions and effects. Most of the benchmark cannot even be sensibly formulated in terms of a mixed-integer optimization problem.

This seminal paper is a good entry-point to the field: http://www.jair.org/media/1705/live-1705-2731-jair.pdf

A bit of background research would do good before calling the problem at the center of a very active community "childish".
