> Managing your manager

I don't frame it that way, either. I see it as a partnership. How you choose to view it can have a remarkable effect.

This reminds me of an old Michael Caine movie where someone asks him about his "superior" at work. He indignantly replies that's his manager, not his superior.
They’re probably busy using the data to find drug money or something else that they’re actually interested in.
What is the best practice then? Mind sharing?
I like the basic idea of the service. Having to have an additional Twilio account is somewhat complicated and does not add to an easy user experience.
Somebody said power point is a crime against humanity. I don't agree fully as it is a great tool if used in the right way. Unfortunately it is almost always overused and crammed with too much information. I have seen decks of 90+ slides full of charts and tables made in various excel files and all numbers had to tie. Such presentations cost organization millions of wasted labor and don't even get to the point. They give a false sense of "knowing what is going on" while in reality nobody analyses the problems well enough. In fact everyone is too busy preparing and tidying off slides.

Also somebody here in the comments said this ready: slides are locked in files poorly shared across the organization. There is a huge amount of valuable information that nobody can search. It is sometimes easier to find detailed information on any random fact on the web than key information in your company.

I think banning power point might be too strong, but companies should force a "code of conduct" on this tool and should seriously figure out a better way for information to surface to employees when they need it.

What a horrible moan fest of an article.

The trypophobia comparison is nonsense and the author is obviously just trying (and failing) to include a memey word in the hopes of minor virality.

And it’s always fun to hear ‘reveal the algorithm’ as though it’s KFC’s blend of spices.

Also complaining about the societal impact of bad content, then complaining that good content is sometimes inaccurately caught in a filter is just insane. The filters are either too strict or too soft, they can’t be both at the same time (human reviewers follow rules just like algos).
How to build your own AlphaZero AI using Python and Keras
Just remember the classic Ronald Reagan reframe:

Henry Trewhitt: "You already are the oldest President in history, and some of your staff say you were tired after your most recent encounter with Mr. Mondale. I recall, yes, that President Kennedy, who had to go for days on end with very little sleep during the Cuba missile crisis. Is there any doubt in your mind that you would be able to function in such circumstances?"

Reagan replies: "Not at all, Mr. Trewhitt and I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience."

This WaPo article[1] has references to UN data sources and says: "United Nations data provide one important benchmark against which to judge how much more or less opioid consumption might be appropriate for a given country. And what it finds about the United States is jaw-dropping: Even when the list is restricted to the top 25 heaviest consuming countries, the United States outpaces them all in opioid use."

So it's within reason for the article to say "[US] people abuse opioids en masse unlike anywhere else in the world"

> Google Reader should have been a goldmine of data to throw at some evil AI dedicated to figuring out what I'm likely to buy based on what RSS feeds I read

I don't know. Maybe they tried and figured the GR adoption wasn't widespread enough[0] and hence the possible monetisation exercise wouldn't have been worth a business division or a separate department and maybe GR as an experiment failed right then. What say?

[0] This comment is anecdotal I would say. I know a lot of people who were/are not on HN, Reddit, Tw etc and definitely were not on GR. So maybe it's just me.
I can attest to this. I've done many trips into the deep desert and noticed many times that if you idle your 4WD while out (taking a whizz for example), often there'll be swarms of beasties on their way to investigate.

There are tons of tricks like this that the average Australian kid (used to?) learn .. another great trick is to take a gold coin with you while snorkelling, and use it to lure octopus out of their lairs .. they find it irresistible. I've had hours of fun with that trick.
Wait, the second seller wouldn't be able to set the buyer's address for the first seller at checkout. At least, Amazon doesn't have such features -- the seller would have to manually add the buyer's address to their own list of addresses and so on. There is no easy "drop shipping" between sellers like that.

I am saying this because I wanted to do drop shipping with sellers on Amazon, to arbitrary addresses via an api. How can it be done?
I am not sure about the "best". One way is getting a hardware wallet like Leger Nano S[0]. It doesn't support "all" coins but popular coins like BTC, ETH, BCH, XLM, LTC, NEO etc are supported.[1]. I use it and it's convenient, so far.

Ask HN: How to setup a software culture in my school
I'm a undergraduate freshman at an above average engineering school in India. My school has one of highest rated computer science and engineering programmes in the country, right after the top 10. It also has the students of sufficient intellectual capacity. One of the reasons I joined this institution was because I was informed that there was an excellent coding culture in place.

However, since then I have realized that the extent of this 'coding culture' is limited to teaching beginners programing, training for programming contests and providing bare minimum introductory classes to topics that are in fashion like block chains and ML.

I recognize the practical importance of such activities, but I lament the lack of a culture that promotes students to build actual software solutions to real life problems i.e. Software that people actually use. That was one of the reasons I started programming in the first place.

So I have taken it upon myself to remedy the situation. From my perspective, the only way to do this is: A) Actually make software solutions to real life problems and B) spread the word around the campus that there is a group of students doing this.

Any suggestions/comments?
I use a petaflop system everyday to run computational simulations. The tape system is accessed via rcp because it's connected via intranet to the login nodes. I'm not saying ftp over the internet has valid uses, it probably doesn't, but if it's in a controlled environment, why not?

What's next, is mac going to obsolete telnet? There goes a host of quick tests you can utilize on a home network.
i agree. too "clever", feels like a needless optimization. (optimizing for fewer keystrokes to type? or obscurity?)

btw, many of the plan 9 commands use slightly different/custom option parsing. probably for historic reasons.
It also strongly applies to aspiring game designers. What many young people don't understand is having an idea doesn't make you special. The devil is usually in the details - execution is harder. Furthermore, learning a useful game development skill gives you a better understanding of games. Aside from brilliantly simple ideas, it usually takes work to convince someone to your idea.

I had a friend that tried to take advantage of me that way. Last time I heard he worked as a software tester at a clothing company, but he had made attempts at managing people. To a certain degree, I used to be like that, except I never explicitly tried managing people, only posted ideas on forums. These days I'm a determined programmer. If you're one of those people who love posting on "Ideas" subforums, I have sympathy for you, but programmers, animators, sound designers etc also have ideas, and can make more things happen.
I guess different people really ARE good at different things ;)

I am not gonna say great ideas are easy - but if u r a tech lead, you should have domain insights, and several high potential product/idea.

But just deciding on what to focus is difficult. Cold calling is difficult. Pitching to complete strangers. Starting to buy leads, faking it - all these do not come naturally to many people.

Also - i have to point out that i met some people which could have been a good match. But when the opening line is "50%-50% share before we start" - that is also a difficult bump to get over.
Perhaps not entirely applicable in this case, but check out this humorous but informative video on fair use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5ZmVheuxpo
"...nor is the 4 Hour Work Week. I think Tim Ferris chose the title for marketing purposes."

He tells this explicitly at the beginning of the book. He tried several names using dummy adverts to gauge click through rates and chose what generated most.

I think the book is honest and comes clean on it's intended goal. It's written in the classic marketing buff style of TV shops worldwide. If one takes it seriously in all of it's claims then that's not really the authors problem.

I agree the followers and not the source is the problem.
You can extend to three people if the first "guess" indicates if nr 2 and 3 have the same color or not. But doesn't go further because after the first all guesses must be 100% correct and can't be used for communicating additional information.

That was possible in the 1990s:

I also remember seeing a report that was aired on UK TV by Channel 4 back in the 1990s that showed how easy ATM fraud was. I can't seem to find the clip, but if anyone has better luck than me I'd be interested to see it again. The only other clue I can think of was that I believe the report was presented by Krishnan Guru-Murthy, but I think it might have been on a different show than the Channel 4 News.
That was a relatively interesting read except for this line:

Keep them anywhere where you control the key, ideally with a seed that you can write down and store safely. If you're a bit paranoid, wallets like Electrum also support multi-sig wallets.

Almost everyday. I don't think Twitter can't, or doesn't want to. It's how much hyperlocal Twitter is for most parts of this world than Google.

I am from a city in India where Twitter adoption is probably the highest in India and I guess at a decent ranking on Global level - at least by sheer numbers if nothing else :). But when I go to my village or those small towns nearby - there are no Twitter users but almost everyone who has a mobile phone and an Internet connection and wants to use it, they start with these places and usually stick: WhatsApp, Google, Facebook. Not necessarily in the same order.

It's not like Google wants an open web, Google doesn't want anyone else to have their own closed web. I will start with as petty (if you call it so) as closing Google Chat to external XMPP and making it an intense pain to use a Google Service w/o a Gmail a/c.

Until very recently I didn't know https://accounts.google.com/SignUpWithoutGmail existed. Tying everything to a Gmail, Plus, or that X service (which might as well be deprioritized or shut down in a year or so) account is not really going for an open web.
>"The Secret Service alert says ATMs still running on Windows XP are particularly vulnerable, and it urged ATM operators to update to a version of Windows 7 to defeat this specific type of attack."

If you, like me, were wondering what the Secret Service (widely recognized for their duties as presidential bodyguards) has to do with ATM fraud, there's a comment below the article from the author:

> I didn’t mention it in the story, but perhaps I should have: The original mission of the Secret Service when it was created in the 1800s was to safeguard the U.S. currency from counterfeiters. Only after a few presidents were assassinated did their mission grow to include protection of the president and other dignitaries. Both are their dual roles today.

Perhaps you can explain what you mean by “exploration of what happens” and “terms of the transformation”? That’s pretty vague as a description of a visualization.

Maybe you’re talking about a visualizing a discrete Fourier transform?
In my case, it was just dancing for a couple hours non-stop at the disco while on mild drugs... It was enough for life-long tinnitus.

On the other hand though, I think it's just biological imperative. Statistically, young men (up to around 25 perhaps) are simply reckless and take stupid risks. They make the best soldiers (less fear for their life), extreme sportsmen etc., but obviously some of them end up dead or disabled.

Once a huge exchanger like Bitfinex fails, there will be a run on exchangers. Nowhere is safe. Never keep coins with an exchange, even if your uncle is the CEO.
I assure you that it's possible. To give you a hint without giving everything away: the guess of the first person must be derived from the colour of all other person's hats.

You could think of it as a puzzle in coding theory, and it's not implausible. If you sum up the number of hats that each person sees and the number of guesses they hear, you'll note that everybody has 9 bits of information available. And they're supposed to make 9 correct guesses. It adds up.

Another hint would be to think of the case of 3 persons first. That can be done with patient case analysis, and it's likely to get you an idea for generalisation.

Or a Trezor [1].

Funny how the price of both products has gone up. I purchased a Ledger Nano S (unused as of now) for about 70 EUR. Now its 95 EUR, with "Shipping is scheduled from March 26". This chart on Amazon (regarding Trezor) is also telling [2]. I guess people wanna join the hype bandwagon. On the official website the Trezor is 89 EUR "without VAT". Which is illegal to advertise in NL unless you're specifically targeting businesses (who prefer to not have VAT mentioned).

A disadvantage of the Ledger Nano S is that in order to use it, it requires Chrome [3]. I'm not sure that's true for Trezor. It also has a Chrome extension but iI seems it can function with just the "bridge" [4]

Can you point me to an analysis using more advanced tools that concludes that "scalpers" are not welfare promoting?

I may have been a bit sloppy talking about utility interchangeably with willingness-to-pay, but it remains true that someone willing to pay more should get it instead of someone willing to pay less, or else the situation admits a kaldor hicks improvement. (There are weird cases with weird demand curves where this may not be true, which is why I specified "reasonable assumptions".)
I've heard this point of view before - Robert Kiyosaki, his books and the Cashflow board game.

It's based on the assumption that work is something inherently unpleasant, and therefore it needs to be reduced, ideally to 0. Aside from ethical implications of this parasitic lifestyle (it's how to abuse the capitalist system, not how to fix it), to me it smells of solving the wrong problem.

I think Robert Kiyosaki and possibly Tim Ferris (I haven't read books of the latter) simply haven't discovered what they enjoy doing in life... or are encouraging others NOT to get to know themselves. What their abilities are. It's not true that what you love will always be your best job. For example professional gamers earn little, because playing games is enjoyable in itself. Game developers put up with higher than usual workplace exploitation, because they work on something quite fun. Models put up with abuse, because being a model is glamorous. So unless you're lucky with a passion in something that's quite unique AND profitable, the trick is finding a pragmatic interest, which is enjoyable but not to the point where managers feel they can take advantage of you or competition is very fierce. Oh, and reasonably well paid.

"Find a job you like, and you'll never work a single day of your life" - Confucius
"If you love something, you shouldn't do it for money." - Unknown(?)

I used to think the 2 are mutually exclusive. They are NOT. If you care about your profession too much, it puts you at risk. You might try to make a PERFECT product and never ship. You might get in arguments with people how something must look. You might agree to poor work conditions or bad pay.

Think about it as if each guess preceding a person is a bit of information, the goal is to come up with a strategy for using that information (you control encoding as well as decoding) to correctly infer another bit.
