10% annual rent increase is a lot, and is well above inflation for most areas. Is the stipend only required if you kick them out? If that's the case, then it makes sense IMO. Renters are people and need stable housing.
3 Steps to Write Copy That Converts (with Joanna Wiebe from Copyhackers)
“Alexa, reorder paper towels “

There are lots of things where people just want to reorder. Anything more than a few words is cumbersome.
When you finally get the thing you've always wanted, you'll find you don't want it anymore.
I think you misunderstand.

The restrictions in Norway are on which services private providers are licensed to provide.

It's not that many years ago that private providers were unable to offer surgeries that were covered by public healthcare at all. E.g. most private providers in Norway once they started getting licensed at all only offered things like cosmetic surgery. The first private hospital in Norway wasn't started until 1985 (Ring Medisinske Senter, now Volvat) and I remember the controversy it caused, even though it's services originally were very restricted (they were "famous" early on for being the first place in Norway you could get breast enlargements, as they were not covered by public healthcare)

It's been softened up gradually, but you'll note i you click around on the linked provided earlier that for many types of operations the only providers are either non-profits like LHL or government run hospitals - for some this is simply because no private providers have wanted to enter that space yet, but for others it's down to concerns about availability/training making the government hesitant to allow more providers, as described elsewhere.

As I pointed out in my other reply, I'm not criticizing it (at least not as long as it is regularly evaluated for whether or not it continues to offer the best treatment options, as it seems to have been).
Depends on the mission, the end goal (if any), as with so many other things.

If you're Gates, you likely feel an immense obligation to not destroy $100 billion (as with Buffett), as it's meant to be put to use as a public good. That has also become his professional life. And ideally you conservatively grow it further, to be able to bring that many more resources to bear on extremely expensive problems.

GPS jammer is an important equipment for GPS positioning, which is very important for anti-tracking and protection. It's good for your safety.

I find it more interesting that the media coverage has been, predictably, completely one sided and sensationalistic going so far as to strongly imply 'suspects.' It's a great reminder of how, in the past, we slipped into 2 red scares and it seems we just barely dodged a third in the present.

Perhaps ironically we can attribute this to the internet. It is a great device for misinformation and FUD, but at the same time it also allows people to openly point out poor logic, unsupported conclusions, or even false facts. This diversity of view probably helps any singular view from taking as hold as strongly as it has in times past -- for better (red scare) and for worse (climate change).
There's still plenty of room for improvement in the attribution side of things.
Interesting, this is probably the right approach to searching for the aliens civilizations. These guys should have globally visible intergalactic GPS, we just have to imagine how and where they would put the searchlights, the most effective places.
Indeed, and triremes were lightly built - from Wikipedia [1]: "Triremes required a great deal of upkeep in order to stay afloat, as references to the replacement of ropes, sails, rudders, oars and masts in the middle of campaigns suggest. They also would become waterlogged if left in the sea for too long. In order to prevent this from happening, ships would have to be pulled from the water during the night. The use of lightwoods meant that the ship could be carried ashore by as few as 140 men." Then there is the issue of provisioning hundreds of oarsmen. If a Greek transatlantic crossing was made at all, I would have thought a trading ship would have been much more suitable.

> As to brew there was some argument back when I first installed it that it should run as sudo.

I've been using brew for nearly as long as it has existed. AFAIK, the point of the tool was to make it so that sudo would be unnecessary for installing individual packages. Are you suggesting there was a debate over whether installing homebrew itself should require sudo? I don't see how that would have been recommended, given that sudo itself is executed in the install script and is needed, among other things, to create `/usr/local`.

My understanding is that the Ikea corporate structure is much, much more complicated than this article even hints at, and in fact it is owned by so many different parties with different interests that go far beyond what is suggested here. Additionally, I think the Dutch are now the main owners of the main portions of the company that most associate with the name Ikea, as of a few years ago.

5 Reasons Why Humans Can’t Do Without Sports
I don’t quite understand this piece. Perhaps there is some exaggeration in the use of product and product manager in titles, but I think it’s superior to previous exaggeration in project management.

It seems like this author has a complaint against product management, but doesn’t quite explain who hurt him or why.

The recommendation is for various different titles to serve in the role- analyst, domain specialist, etc. But I think this is just syntax sugar for product manager. I don’t think you go to school to be a product manager. I think you go to school for a skill and then add product management skills (eg, be an engineer, learn product management to design products and lead teams). This approach is better to the leader being a project manager with no domain expertise but able to track schedules.

I don’t think it’s important what you call the product leader, it’s more important that you have someone with knowledge of the user and the problem domain “in charge” rather than just a procedural person following the project.

Finally, you need a metaphor for all products to help with oeganization. I prefer product over project as it better puts the user as the measurer of value (ie, if user is happy then project is succeeding) rather than the project itself which frequently can continue on intertia for some time without any user value.

I find that there is often a problem of quality in products advertised.

It may be products floating in Amazon searches because of fake reviews, sites with great SEO, and most ads online really.. none of those correlate to quality of product.

Then entire point was to make finding things easy, but I find that advertising just makes that harder.

In September I was looking for a Volleyball club in Paris for people in their 30s, as I wanted a fixed team with whom I'd share interests. My searches failed me horribly. Google and Duckduckgo mostly fed me news articles, competition stuff and some big club websites.
Then my local mayor's office site had a totally out of date page, and did not list clubs closeby but outside its district.

Eventually I went to a local sports fair to meet up with clubs, but almost none of them offered adults teams, because that's typically a young people's sport.

I the end, I did find a place for me, by talking to people at the mayor's office, and random players at the fair.

And often when I look for an object, it takes a very long time because quality products rarely float above the rest. It's excrutiating.

So now I hate advertising, and I hate ratings. They are noise designed to mess up with human psychology.

The fourth verse of the Rigvedic hymn 1:50 (50th hymn in book 1 of rigveda) is as follows:

तरणिर्विश्वदर्शतो जयोतिष्क्र्दसि सूर्य | विश्वमा भासिरोचनम |

taranirviśvadarśato jyotishkridasi sūrya | viśvamā bhāsirocanam ||

This means “Swift and all beautiful art thou, O Surya (Sun), maker of the light, illuminating all the radiant realm.”

Exlpaining this verse in his Rig Veda commentary, Sayana, who was a minister in the court of Bukka of the great Vijayanagar Empire of Karnataka in South India (in early 14th century), says:

tatha ca smaryate yojananam. sahasre dve dve sate dve ca yojane ekena nimishardhena kramaman.

This means “It is remembered here that Sun (light) traverses 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha.”

Note: Nimisharda = half of a nimisha In the vedas Yojana is a unit of distance and Nimisha is a unit of time.

Unit of Vedic Time: Nimisha

The Moksha Dharma Parva of Shanti Parva in Mahabharata describes Nimisha as follows: 15 Nimisha = 1 Kastha 30 Kashta = 1 Kala 30.3 Kala = 1 Muhurta 30 Muhurtas = 1 Diva-Ratri (Day-Night) We know Day-Night is 24 hours So we get 24 hours = 30 x 30.3 x 30 x 15 nimisha in other words 409050 nimisha We know 1 hour = 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds So 24 hours = 24 x 3600 seconds = 409,050 nimisha 409,050 nimisha = 86,400 seconds 1 nimisha = 0.2112 seconds (This is a recursive decimal. The wink of an eye is equal to 0.2112 seconds.) 1/2 nimisha = 0.1056 seconds

Unit of Vedic Distance: Yojana

Yojana is defined in Chapter 6 of Book 1 of the ancient vedic text “Vishnu Purana” as follows:

10 ParamAnus = 1 Parasúkshma 10 Parasúkshmas = 1 Trasarenu 10 Trasarenus = 1 Mahírajas (particle of dust) 10 Mahírajas= 1 Bálágra (hair’s point) 10 Bálágra = 1 Likhsha 10 Likhsha= 1 Yuka 10 Yukas = 1 Yavodara (heart of barley) 10 Yavodaras = 1 Yava (barley grain of middle size) 10 Yava = 1 Angula (1.89 cm or approx 3/4 inch) 6 fingers = 1 Pada (the breadth of it) 2 Padas = 1 Vitasti (span) 2 Vitasti = 1 Hasta (cubit) 4 Hastas = a Dhanu, a Danda, or pauruSa (a man’s height), or 2 Nárikás = 6 feet 2,000 Dhanus = 1 Gavyuti (distance to which a cow’s call or lowing can be heard) = 12,000 feet 4 Gavyutis = 1 Yojana = 9.09 miles

Calculation of the Speed of Light from the Rig Veda:

So now we can calculate what is the value of the speed of light in modern units based on the value given as 2202 yojanas in 1/2 nimisha

= 2,202 x 9.09 miles per 0.1056 seconds = 20,016.18 miles per 0.1056 seconds = 189,547 miles per second

As per the Rig Veda the speed of light is 189,547 miles per second. As per modern science the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second!

There are a few different goals here:

* When can consumer ISPs turn off v4? This can and does happen right now - the ISP just needs to have a carrier-grade NAT gateway to handle connections to IPv4 servers. This is a performance problem if most services are only available on IPv6, but we're already at that point.

* When can service providers and hosting companies shut off IPv4? This is the problem you address, and that's gonna take a looooong time.

* When can ISPs shut off their IPv4 gateways? When all services (within reason) are available on IPv6. This one is of less interest than the other two, though.
This didn't quite turn out as expected, did it?

As my overall Facebook usage had naturally gone close to "check once per week" in 2017, and do even that because of habit, I decided to delete it entirely from my life as soon as 2018 came around. The only thing that I'm not 100% happy with is that without Facebook you also don't have Messenger, which was the main thing I used to communicate with people. However, I still use Instagram to share Stories and photos and, luckily enough, it has a chat built in as well which works wonders.
> We have roles (hats) for these things: project managers, UX, researchers, data scientists, business analysts, team managers, coaches, etc. Do product managers often wear these hats? Sure. Do you need a product manager to wear these hats? No.

Yikes, some problems immediately spring to mind:

1) It's significantly more overhead (both financially and logistically) to have seven specialists doing the job that one generalist was previously.

2) Someone still needs to "herd those cats". Someone has to take the UX research and distill it into project requirements, someone has to take the business analysis and figure out what that means for the product, and so on.

3) It's ok to have generalists with changing job duties. Companies do this all the time with job titles like "software engineer" or "full-stack engineer".

I get the frustration with vague job descriptions and unclear responsibilities, but I don't think the answer is more specialization necessarily.

I guess I never got around to memorizing the location of the f-keys since I had to look down to use them as well. Having a dedicated position to change often-changing settings is more useful than a trackpad, which I’m assuming you mean that you just change the volume with a mouse in the system bar.
The base assumption of measureable performance is wrong. What if somebody sat all day in the office doing nothing, just talking with one of the best performers once in a while.

S/he is nothing but a drag on the team, on the papers, but in reality s/he might be the brains of the operations, with a "high-performer" as company front.

Abstract that away and you can see HR gunning out everyone but sales. Sales can do nothing without a good product, except sell themselves extremely well.

My personal base assumption is that HR, with the 10 % rule without external oversight destroys more valua then it creates. The powerplays alone are enough to wreak havoc.
Even I as a technical user saw my workflow broken and to this day it hasn't been resolved. So point taken. Also: I'm not convinced that the FF57 reasons were as good as stated, it seemed mostly a case of 'we can therefore we do and here are some reasons to make you feel good'. A backwards compatibility switch to override the change would have been the least.

Only Microsoft seems to really understand backwards compatibility.

"Great are the stars, and man is of no account to them. But man is a fair spirit, whom a star conceived and a star kills. He is greater than those bright blind companies.

But when he is done he will not be nothing, not as though he had never been; for he is eternally a beauty in the eternal form of things."

First of all, Julia is a proper multi purpose programming language!
I consider that to be important, since I want to learn one language and then do most of my very different projects in it.

I haven't used Futhark or Halide, but I know they do some quite interesting compiler optimization.

We plan to use Julia's meta programming and code generation capabilities to enable similar optimizations. Hopefully, we can publish some new insights soon!

From a look at Halides and Futharks examples, I'd say that it will be more pleasant to write generic Julia GPU kernels and Julia enables a more interactive workflow.

In 2013 I attempted to make a holdings chart for the IKEA galaxy of companies, and it gets really complex very quickly. If you Google ikea corporate structure, you’ll see a bunch of charts that look the same, but they are too simple and gloss over a lot.

As I understood it, it’s all heavily based on reducing tax liability as much as possible. E.g. each ikea store is a franchisee which operates at a loss and pays royalty fees for using the IKEA brand, and of course pays out for products and other vital services to probably hundreds of other ikea-related companies. And that’s even before dipping your toes into their manufacturing world.
