Goodwill has a huge internet presence on EBay.

Everything of any value goes right to an auction site, usually Ebay. (You cannot demand that your donated stuff goes to those in your community.)

The rest of the crap is marked up too high at local stores for desperate poor people.

Oh yea, the nonprofit does not prosecute fraudulent store managers. The guys who are selling your donated stuff out the back door, or literally "tapping" the till.

There's been books on this company, but nobody seems to care? "Oh, it's a non-profit--it must be run well?"

Then again, it does more than most nonprofits.
As a CrashPlan customer, I'll soon be moving to some other service when they shut down. As a Mac user, iCloud is an option. However, I'm unlikely to choose it because Backblaze or similar costs $5/mo instead of $10/mo for the amount of storage I need, and because I don't like the "cloud" storage model of treating your local drive as a cache and assuming a fast, always-on internet connection. I like to know that my files are on my local SSD, not on the other end of a flaky or nonexistent internet connection. "Intelligently purges local files" sounds like a nightmare.
I tried Glasswire a while back when it was still in beta because 360 Total Security had an ad about it for a while.
The UI/UX was very nice but if I remember correctly I stopped using it (and 360 Total Security) because some articles were starting to pop up about their (potential) ties with the Chinese government... Might be a wild conspiracy theory but I'm not sure I am very comfortable with using fully closed source app that has never been audited by anyone to "secure" my computers. After a quick search I can't find anything about the teams behind these projects...
And if you introduce a voting threshold of 80 because "they're going to die soon anyway", thus ensuring their lifetime of experience is ignored, what stops you deciding that it's now all the fault of 75 year olds? Where does it end?

Your example of the UK gives away the problem. Lots of young people voted in, because they naively believed the predictions of catastrophe and doom that were being announced at max volume by the academic and governmental elites. Older people who perhaps remembered their long history of failed economic forecasting were less worried. Who was right? The older people were - the forecasts that were made in the run up to the referendum have by and large been systematically proven wrong since then, to the extent that senior members of government and business are openly stating the forecasters at the Treasury and Bank of England have no credibility and should be ignored.
Great post Mike! Just wish there was a solid solution for identity providers in the enterprise space (gsuite and activeAD exist, but pretty rare). Instead every company ends up building their own IDP and making all these same mistakes. The difference is they aren't often quite as targeted for abuse (tho depends on the business).

So the person who was clever enough to buy bitcoin in 2010 renounces in 2018, becomes a citizen of a country without income tax or one that doesn’t tax foreign holdings, and then starts cashing in without the U.S. government ever becoming aware.

This comment really baffles me, particularly the Office Space reference. Generally I see that movie invoked specifically to reference the meaninglessness of most white-collar work. TPS reports and pieces of flair are supposed to be absurd examples of things that employers to do dehumanize and control employees - the opposite of meaningful goals.

I think most people want meaningful (purposeful?) lives. Some find that almost exclusively through their work, some through their nonprofessional activities, some through their families. Most are probably a mixture. I think people often find happiness through figuring out what's important to them and organizing their life around that.

It depends on the automated checkout. In the Washington, D.C. area (U.S.), Giant Foods installed automated checkouts that are the same "length" as a regular checkout. You scan your items, put them on the belt, and they go to the bagging area at the end -- you can't bag them as you scan them. Once you're done, you're rushing to bag items as someone else decides to start scanning their items and send them down the belt, mingling with your items.

At Harris Teeter, on the other hand, you scanned an item and put it in the bag. You could load the bag as you wished.
> Personally, I think that limit is much closer to 1 trillion people living on the earth than it is to 1 billion people. So we've got a ways to go.

A bold claim given we’re already way over the ecosystem limits regarding CO2 production, biodiversity loss, atmospheric nitrogen depletion; and close to the limits for ocean acidification, land use converted to cropland, & water consumption; and until we invent sustainable replacements for currently non-renewable oil drilling and phosphorus mining, it’s probably a better idea to say “fund research into fixing this” than “it’s all good”.

Well is that observation specific to India, or do you mean in the west?

In the west it's disappeared because the projections were all wrong. The population in rich countries does not replace itself. Without large levels of immigration the population would start to decline. This is partly why the EU is trying to force mass migration on the member states - it's for several (stated) reasons, but one of them is a belief that otherwise the population will decline and the economy will shrink.

A scene graph and a "render graph"/Frame graph in Frostbite terminology are not the same. I would recommend checking out:

http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1024656/Advanced-Graphics-Tech-...
and
https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1024612/FrameGraph-Extensible-...

for a more in depth view.

I would describe it as such: A scene graph specifies _what_ needs to be drawn, while a render graph specifies _how_ it should be drawn and what the dependencies of each step in drawing is. For example, a render graph is used to reduce the number of image layout transitions in a frame by looking at what layout is expected for each operation and figuring out where to put the layout transitions, instead of letting a human place the layout transitions which will inevitably lead to unnecessary transitions when the scene becomes complex enough.

I didn't think this article was bad even if it is maybe less concrete than the slides I linked.
Best Buy to Stop Selling CDs
The article profiles people in a bunch of professional firms, but ignores the changing market for those professionals. An ABA study showed that in 1965, a typical billable hour target for a lawyer was 1200-1600. Today, 2000 hours is a typical target. That can’t be explained by culture. Law has always drawn “insecure overachievers.” In reality, it’s due to the changing marketplace. Decades ago, it would be highly unusual for Philadelphia company to retain a DC firm for a matter. Today, it’s routine—your competition is nationwide. Golfing with local business people doesn’t cut it for business development anymore. And like other industries, the work has shifted to larger players in big markets (NYC/Chicago/SF/DC).

External competition also breeds internal competition. I used to work at a firm in New York. There was no competition in the partnership, by design: everyone was paid in a lock step fashion strictly by seniority. Business development meant checking your messages when you got back from lunch. Partnership was for life and partners never left. That was typical 30-40 years ago. Today it’s very much the exception, a model retained by a handful of firms that have major institutional relationships. The typical model today is “eat what you kill.” Partners are compensated based on how much business they bring in, and regularly hop from firm to firm depending on who is offering the best pay package.

Of course all this isn’t necessarily bad. Increased competition means more work, more hours, more availability. But where there is a lack of competition, that’s often a sign of people being kept down. Back in 1965, many firms didn’t hire Jews, Asians, African Americans, women, etc. Business was given out over drinks instead of having competing firms pitch for it in a transparent way. All of those things increase competition and decrease the value of “good old boy” networks.

That's fair--it sounds like you're saying a person receiving criticism should be resilient to that criticism to some extent. I'm interested in hearing what you think the solution (if any) is for the person giving the criticism.

Excuse me? What a load of bollocks. If you think Britain is currently experiencing the full effects of Brexit, you have something coming for ya. Even then government's own analysis shows that all Brexit scenarios will have a negative impact on Britain's economy. The only reason you feel otherwise is the overall booming economy worldwide, which is covering up the negative effects of PRE-Brexit.

The population was fed a bunch of lies and rolled with it, complete BS like the 350M that would be shifted from Europe to NHS. How any sane person can still be rooting for Brexit after the truth came out is beyond me.

Thanks a lot :) it probably came with the theme (I updated the entire website about a month ago using a commercial theme)... I definitely have some work to do to optimize. Wordpress isn't my regular stack, but I'll dig in and tweak a few things. Really appreciate the heads up.
This strategy takes time, but it works really well:

1. If you can, get an overview from a mentor. This will make the next steps a lot easier. Get:
- history
- philosophy
- design style
- high-level flow

2. Get a stack of white paper from the printer and put it in front of you along with a pen. Colored pens and scotch tape are a bonus (There may or may not have been a shortage of both printer paper and colored pens next to them when I started at my last job)

3. Open a debugger with a breakpoint on the first line of code

4. Pick a request flow and initiate a request. Let the debugger guide you through the entire request flow

5. Record the path of the flow as a sequence diagram on your paper

( BONUS ) Record the relationships between the components in the system in a class diagram

Why does this work?

There's software out there for making these diagram, so why draw them by hand? For most people, visual memory is the strongest. So, the idea is you use your strong visual and spacial memory to assist you in recalling random objects, facts. And hey, why not a codebase? And that’s why this works.

When you look at different files that the debugger guides you through, you are engaging your visual memory. You remember how the code is organized and what the files look like.

When you draw the sequence diagram you engage your spatial memory. E.g., the Router class doesn't interact with the Database class and so they are one sheet of paper apart. Visually, you can see what clusters of components work together to make larger structures. This allows you to mentally group the classes into a single concept.

The point is to get this information into your head, and not to produce a diagram on a piece of paper. If all you need is the latter, use software, of course. Seriously, when you're done, throw away the piece of paper; it will be outdated the next day anyway.

I am not a lawyer; I have no idea what the tax law says.

But if the tax law says the gain event is selling the asset, then there is absolutely nothing morally wrong with exploiting this tax loophole.

It's a travesty that it exists in the first place (as it was when Apple exploits Irish law), but the laws are written by the government that no individual can control. If the laws create a loophole, it's legal (obviously) and ethical to step through it.

The article isn’t talking about Jeff Bezos, but the associate at the law/consulting/banking firm staying up all night papering up the Whole Foods merger.
The original forecasts were based on immediate invocation of Article 50, and without a significant intervention by the Bank of England, and without an uptick in global growth (which Britain is bottom of the class in). Instead what we got was a big devaluation in the Pound, slicing billions off the wealth of the country.

The other elements of the forecast are coming, they're just following on a time lag because they're dependent on choices getting locked in. The not so funny thing about Brexit is that it's like a game of chicken: the market doesn't believe Britain will choose drive off the cliff edge, so it hasn't priced in the damage; but that lack of pricing information makes it more likely Britain will drive off the edge.

It's one situation where markets might ironically be ill-suited to judge because of feedback effects. The worse the outcome, the less likely the market is to believe it, which sustains the delusion that it won't be bad.

> wasting time chatting and sharing GIFS all day instead of working is BAD... An organization that incentivizes developers who play politics instead of doing good work is not a great workplace.

Precisely - it is management's responsibility to foster an environment in which work gets done. If "fun" channels are really that busy then management needs to wonder whether people either aren't getting their work done or whether they're not being assigned enough work in the first place.

> Basically you MUST play politics.

Well... That's not necessarily a bad thing. Every organization has politics. Having people pay attention to their coworkers and their interests is a requirement of empathetic and successfully cooperative organizations. But it's management's responsibility to ensure that politics has its dedicated place, where all voices are encouraged and heard equally, and remains healthy (no back-stabbing), without politics becoming all-consuming and preventing real work from getting done.

Bitcoin billionaires would just pay the taxes. $500 million and a lot of time is worth WAY more than $1 billion and time wasted dealing with crap. It's way more money than I would ever know what to do with, anyway. Life with $500 million and $1 billion would not be very different.

It's people with $100k of bitcoin that are more likely to want to go through troubles to not have to pay taxes. Because having $100k and $50k in the bank could be very different living situations.

The problem with leasing is if you grow too fast you're stuck, and if you have to make cutbacks you're also stuck with the lease.

This is the real advantage of them. Even if it costs x% more the value of not being stuck with a lease for a long time is definitely worth it. A lot of financial firms in London are moving to them, leases are typically long (10 years with a 5 year break), and with the uncertainty around brexit it makes total sense to transfer the risk to WeWork et al for not much money at all.
