Thanks for that, I didn't know that and will certainly check it out.

But here's the rub (or actually a very good thing):

"Radiohead contributed their own audio masters of the show."

That's really amazing, but also indicates (not necessarily, I grant that. The article doesn't say) that the project was actually planned and that the band and audience were in for it from the start.
I do get what you mean; my 48k Spectrum was certainly a simpler machine than my current laptop!

But I still think there are simple things that beginners can do. The whole SAVE, LOAD, RUN concepts also had to be learned. And you only need to know some text editor to be able to save a file. It can then be run with `bash myprogram`. And then later you can add the concepts of adding a shebang and making the file executable.

Also, the huge advantage of teaching shell commands is that it is actually, currently useful. I use those commands every day at work, despite having learnt them initially on an old Sun server many moons ago. I can't say the same for Spectrum Basic! :)

My thoughts about this year's Google Code-In
I always find the "best places to work" type lists a lot of crap. Usually its just a case of biggest and best known companies. I have worked for a real mix of places and the biggest companies haven't been any better than the smaller ones. Usually a good manager makes a far bigger difference.
Yeah 'some' of those 'correlations' might also involve sourcing crocodile dung [1]. Or maybe you prefer cutting open a vein and draining some blood when you feel sick? [2]

The qualifying time for the Boston Marathon today, was a world record 100 years ago. So yeah, maybe these remedies were 'world records' in their time. But now, we have advanced, and they're sub-par and often times downright dangerous.

I like to run with crazy ideas too, and sometimes I even come up with them :-)

All good questions.

Without doing a lot (a lot!) of work, I don't know what the "right" answers are for them.

The motivating question for proposing this crazy idea is: would it result in less bureaucracy, less paralysis, less stagnation, more innovation?

I don't know the answer to my motivating question either, but I'm wondering...
On a somewhat related note, I have found Algolia to be an effective way to search for popular stories that got flagged. Once or twice a day I go to hn.algolia.com and view popular stories for the last 24 hours. This is also an effective way to review popular stories for the last day, whether they got flagged or not. Since Algolia is using a much simpler ranking than the Hacker News front page, you get a much more stable view, which is a nice alternative to submissions flying up and down on the front page at various speeds.
For all that G+ is a horrible service, the fact that commenting on a post is effectively a subscription to that post has been among its more attractive elements. If the moderator of that post kicks crap (spam, shitposts) to the curb.

It's lead to the convention of "/sub" (or as I prefer, "/surveil") as an indicator of interest.

But a good conversation can remain alive for days, weeks, months, or even years.
r/K selection theory has been subsumed by more advanced theories over the last few decades, but many of its themes are still applicable and it provides a simple way to think about some general reproduction strategies. Herbivores fundamentally have far more energy availability, because they're a level closer to the primary input of the sun (Sun -> plants -> herbivore, energy for useful work lost at every conversion step), and in turn many of them follow a more r-selection strategy where they have lots of offspring with lower investment in each individual one, and huge populations of which significant numbers die young (from predation, accidents, starvation, disease, etc) but enough survive through quantity. Conversely this can actually make healthy adults more valuable then any single young one, since they represent a success that can and will breed many many more times.

In contrast big predators sink a lot more energy and time into each individual juvenile, and have far fewer of them. You'll notice that with many highly mobile herbivores juveniles come out and are ready to walk and begin moving with their parents/the herd in very short order without an extended period of total helplessness.

Herds do have to keep moving to find new food supplies, so staying in place indefinitely is not an option. They generally are much faster in a straight line then most predators too, so they can in fact outrun them (and in turn predators are forced to deploy tactics, go after ones with restricted mobility which takes more function to recognize, and so forth). These various pushes and pulls on selection have resulted in the successful strategies we see each species deploy. The emergent effects of life really is incredible as trite as it may sound to say it. Such incredible complexity driven by basics that are pretty straight forward.
The Anatomy of a Lie
A better question might be: How is anything an investment? If the stock market is priced efficiently, it is as much a gamble as Bitcoin. The stock market is of course not perfectly efficient, but it is likely extremely efficient relative to the knowledge of your average retail investor. Which means that buying Bitcoin or other cryptos is no more a gamble than any stock market investment with a similar volatility.
Hard to imagine this won't end up looking like a private exchange without subsidy. Except in this case, the union is involved and would act as the arbiter of a "dues to benefits" model. I think this perhaps the only way this could work.
My first impression was these folks that are in highly-visible positions at a highly-visible company probably are very conservative/careful with what they publicly share/post since they are under relatively higher scrutiny. I wouldn't be surprised if they all had private accounts which had more activity.
Exactly. There are always going to be a few people who don't care if they ruin it for the rest. To them, they are the only ones that matter.

To expand on that... If social media is orthogonal to privacy, then there should be no conflict combing the two concepts to create (privacy + social media).

If they are incompatible, they aren't orthogonal, they are opposed.

It isn't now and has never been exclusively for the wealthy, of course having money will give you a lot more options to travel and it will make it easier. But if it was exclusively for the wealthy how would you explain gypsies traveling in my country (Mexico) and all around Latin America, how would you explain other groups like the anticapitalist hippies going from city to city, or just random young folks from all around the world who look for small jobs in every country. I'm giving you extreme examples, but I can give you my example too, I come from a developing country and I'm not wealthy at all, I have backpacked Europe with little money, CouchSurfing, getting cheap hostels and sometimes great airbnb deals, taking buses or trains at night (so I can travel and have a place to sleep at the same time), getting cheap tickets from kayak.com and other pages, etc, of course money helps a lot, but now that I think about it, not having a lot of money was part of the awesome experience.

When I worked at Aflac, it was the largest civilian employer in Columbus, GA. It had the tallest building in town. If I made small talk while getting a haircut or buying lunch in town, people would ooh and aah that I had a job there. This was a little funny and surreal because I could not get promoted out of my entry level job. I felt like a loser, yet here were people acting like I'm not worthy.

When I quit, I left town and began doing freelance work. If I had stayed in town or transferred to a different job at a smaller company, I might have felt compelled to justify my decision to leave. I probably would have gotten a lot of social push back and inquiries as to why on earth I would do such a thing.

I imagine most of these posts are written partly for that reason. It cuts back on being asked in the first place and then you can email the link the next 20 times you are asked. Plus, it is free therapy, among other things.
Fair point. I believe it was actually after the fact, and the fans approached Radiohead for the soundboard recording, but I Might Be Wrong.

Yes, many are trying to sell you something but the amount of content available for people seeking information on digital marketing is enormous.

As a digital marketer, what I've found most lacking in most digital marketing guides and articles is the one-size-fits-all approach. Having worked in-house for a few brands at this point in my career, what works well for business does not work well for another. I've worked for businesses where you'd be hard-pressed to get three sales from Facebook ads a month despite significant spending. I've worked for others where you go through periods where it's almost impossible to fail when spending money on Facebook ads.

My advice is to build a framework/approach to what you're doing so that you can operate with flexibility in any situation. Once you have that, you can better contextualize any article you read and once you're familiar with how the different channels perform/operate for what you're trying to market, you can really contextualize anything you hear/read.

A great start is reading Traction by Gabriel Weinberg. That book outlines typical channels you can try and acquire customers from. The book advocates casting reels in many lakes, seeing where the easy bites come from and then focus on those.

After traction, Hacking Growth by Sean Ellis and Morgan Brown is a great next step. That book advocates continuous experimentation to find compounding improvements, e.g. once you find a good acquisition channel, how do you approach improving/scaling it and how do you go about finding new acquisition channels.
9-5 Is Out. Try the 1-6 Instead
This is a really great list and hits on all of the major usage quirks I've seen at large co's as their ops and development teams start to adopt Kubernetes.

I wonder about point number five, giving out kubectl access, even when an end-user is limited to a specific namespace. Kelsey Hightower once came and gave an in-person overview of Kubernetes and he was adamant, back in mid-2016, that the vast majority of Kubenetes API consumption would be abstracted from cluster consumers. (This was early days of tools like helm.)

I'm super curious to hear what others are doing. Has kubectl escaped to the wild? How are ops people dealing with that, especially the implications of `kubectl exec` and `kubectl portfw` direct to production from developer workstations?
It's not available for my country, Italy... Just why?
I suppose. Venues won’t go for this nonsense anyway, it’s a potential legal liability, they don’t care what you do with your phone and they have all the power, not the band.
It will be interesting to see how they allow people to fund their accounts. With their traditional investments, they have to follow tradional rules with respect to credit. But a more "accessible" and leveraged model like Coinbase, would be a stark departure from their normal modes of operation.
Investing connotes some kind of exchange for rights, usually equity. When you invest in say APPL, you are buying a stake of the company. Bitcoin, like the $US or € doesn't make anything. Bitcoin is not an investment, you're just speculating that it's exchange value will rise.
>As more things get centralized on phones, this will become less & less feasible.

OT, but the centralization of things on smartphones also means you're increasingly SOL if you lose your smartphone or it dies for some reason. Today, I generally still have a wallet with various things in it which likely help me to not be totally screwed without my smartphone. But as more and more of those things are replaced by the phone and what few physical artifacts there are may just be tucked into the phone it starts to become a concern.

Intel had a really funny video of someone losing their phone and what happened to them a few years back. Sadly, I think it was just internal and, when I last looked, I couldn't find it anywhere online.
I don't think they are making the market themselves, but my understanding is they are paid for order flow from those who do. I can only imagine the data is worth quite a bit too, assuming their EULA allows them to sell it.
Some possible circumvention:

- Don't disclose your phone

- Put a cheap ringer in your pocket

- Cut through the package in the parking lot and re-enter
Hong Kong is this way, too. People gush about the train system in Tokyo (which I have love for) but the sheer number of fast, frequent, and comfortable ways to get around in HK edge it out for me.

It seems like every 5 meters there’s a bus stop, and the busses are not old style clunkers but double deckers like Googles take.
What do you think the answer is? Building truly serverless protocols that are content to just live on the WiFi network? That seems like it would require lots of broadcasts on the network which could get congested quickly.

Maybe some kind of standard local server you could run with an easy module API for adding new kinds of devices? Is that what things like Samsung's smart things hub already does?

This quickly gets into a creepy territory. I realize there are already ways to do this and there are hidden cameras, but we should probably maintain some barrier to entry.

I think the solution to that is a social one: generate so many authentic-looking but obviously false videos that no one will believe them without authentication. I think these immunization-fakes could reach even the most information-poor voter: just make them funny memes, etc. Plus, if there are enough of them, I'd think the emotional balance between rivals could even out.

> So if you go off and do X, then why are they paying you to do Y?

What you describe kind of suggests upholding strict divisions per team like that is one of the main causes of the problem.

Wouldn't being more flexible of temporarily joining another team as a guest work? I imagine that for a number of situations this could work:

- I want to do x, my team needs it

- But we're responsible for X, and x falls under that

- When can you do it?

- We're understaffed, so years from now

- Fine I'll do it for you, I need it now

- Didn't you hear we are responsible for X? If x is not done right we are the ones who get in trouble for that.

- So make me a temporary guest member of your group, vet my work to make sure it's ok, and share the credit for x.

- Ok, that actually sounds like a good return on investment for us, welcome to the team!

Sure! But that's an argument for more complex diversity initiatives (race, gender, AND poverty) which I'm totally fine with.
While this solution is extreme, I do think we need a cultural shift that discourages filming/photos at shows. I think of the College Football Championship halftime show. 75% of the attendees were more focused on adding Kendrick Lamar to their snap story rather than actually watching him.

Personally, I'm also sick of trying to watch concerts through someone's screen in front of me.
It's amazing how many other places have figured out how to make this work. Even in sprawling cities like Berlin, which was cut in half by a wall for 30 years, it's clean, well maintained, goes nearly everywhere and costs the commuter about as much as a tank of gas a week for unlimited travel.

Americans have really failed to capture and maintain a civic imaginary.
This is a thread about Nuclear power. Which is rarely used directly for home heating, generally it's just resistance heating after being turned into electricity. Anyway...

Your link [1] is for the United States which as I said uses an unusual amount of LNG. Though if you look at Coal on page 10 it's down (~22 to ~14 = ~40%) from 2006 petroleum is also down quite a bit (40 to ~35 = ~12% drop) it's only LNG that's up but again it's up significantly less than just coal has dropped let alone coal + petroleum.

(pedantic) Plants also dominate our emissions to the atmosphere. They simply also extract carbon from the atmosphere.

I think most projections are wildly off base. In the end it's a combination of economics and incentives which will determine changes and while the economics favor renewable incentives are much harder to predict.
No, it also discusses how a moral calculus might not prioritize locality, but instead impact or efficacy on lives.

While I don't think it's an adequate idea, as it undersells the value of clannism, it's pretty easy to think of other interesting purposes for this comparison other than moral shaming. Perhaps this might've been a starting point for discussing the harms to the moral thinking which doesn't erect and police boundaries to "we".

A lot of moral discussion, in real life, on Reddit, or on HN, more or less of the same quality (as opposed to other discussions on HN) go nowhere. There is utility to discussing an objective moral calculus that multitudes can observe and negotiate.
It's a great product, I stopped using google translate when I discovered this one. The translation is much better, more accurate IMO.

If the market is priced perfectly efficiently you will still make money because your capital is put to work. A perfectly efficient market just means you can't beat that intrinsic rate of return.
Beyond the Beme platform itself, I'm greatly troubled by this SV notion that you can crowdsource objectivity, as if we have ever received a rational analysis from a mob.

Recent developments, like Facebook's decision to let its users determine what is and isn't factual (what is essentially Beme's advertised product), will lead to sanctioned groupthink.
In principle things like Amazon Alexa or Google Home could serve as that kind of local server, and already have fairly good deployment. But I'd guess their manufacturers aren't likely to be very interested in supporting a non-cloud, local-operation approach.
