Agree. You're going to regret doing this when you try to test it yourself, with your own Gmail (or GSuite) account.
I am absolutely a sucker for the look of Kodachrome, and I'm glad I managed to shoot one roll before processing of it ended.

The processing itself is rather convoluted and interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-14_process
Fair point. It is free in HTML format on its page. And as the authors said (on the page you linked) "We make the content freely available online. If you like it, please buy a copy."

This looks like a trend: to provide a free on-line copy and still sell "better" formats.
I don't think piercing the corporate veil is the only possible solution, you could legislate that revenue from unlitigated patents couldn't be taken out as profit. Again, that might not be enough and the exact wording would need work, but I think that making it possible is the first step to making it practical.

Personally I think we should just abolish the entire patent system, since I really don't see much benefit in it for anyone but large companies, but basically everyone agrees on stopping patent trolls with garbage patents
This is an exaggeration. Total compensation for returning interns at FANG may approach 120k salary, with stock plans and bonus compensation that max out at 20k additional value per year. Even algorithmic trading or strats-quant positions rarely broach 140-150k for recent graduates.
Yep. Prevailing military opinion against using poison gases could have changed over the course of the war, of course, but he brought both the technical knowhow and the outspoken advocacy. The Allies' first alleged use of poison gas turned out to be an unfounded rumour which Haber himself was responsible for disproving.

Didn't take the Allies long to muster a response though, and they had their own Nobel Laureate Victor Grignard to build chemical weapons for them.
I think it's very clear the parent was not referring to Upwork as a nascent service. They were speaking generally about the process that leads to a culture of ingrained behavior over time, which starts from that nascent service context.

You can derive that is very likely the case based on the intelligence and composure of the rest of their post. You can also derive it directly from the full paragraph text, which is not referring specifically to Upwork, rather it is referring to Silicon Valley broadly, and why "things" developed the way they did with how SV firms have tended to treat customers/users.
If you believe this to generally be true, then I warrant that you don't know enough people with "money".
A counterpoint is basically about giving companies resources that they might use to cross-subsidize advertising or lobbying on behalf of their other business units, affecting the demand, political environment, or cultural environment that those other business units face. In the electric car example, maybe some of the revenue from electric car sales allows manufacturers to lobby on emissions regulations in a way that some of the electric car buyers might strongly disagree with.

Hmmm.... wonder if I could pass for a new grad. Would need to do something about this grey hair. And the wrinkles. And the attitude.
> Salon.com is a new media company

Salon was founded in 1995 (and its close analogue Slate a year later). I guess that "new media" can encompass anything that was primarily digital from the start, but it still feels weird to see that tag applied to something that has been around for over two decades now.
In my experience, that isn't completely true. Sure, as you get more financial committments, you start needing the money more.

However, having extra money makes so many things less stressful. When I was younger and poorer, car trouble was a huge stress. Did I have enough money to fix it? What was I going to cut out? Would I wreck the car, costing me more money, if I keep driving it?

Now, I just take the car to the shop and don't even think about it. Hungry and see a good restaurant? Just go. Get in a minor accident, or get a parking ticket? No big deal, doesn't ruin the day.

I mean, money certainly is still a factor in decisions, but there are a LOT of decisions that cost a small enough amount of money that you don't worry about it. Everyone has a level where, if things are cheaper than that, they don't worry about it; as you get more money, more and more things fall into that category.

I have a personal domain on Gmail, and my spam folder currently has 105 messages in it from the past month. Two are mis-filed mass mailings and one is from a mailing list that I think I was once legitimately on, but which has refused to unsubscribe me. The rest are from russian women who thinks I'm sexy and a few from the Nigerian central bank (that's apparently still a thing, who'd have thought).

These are the emails that are not related to me being on a centralised commercial host, and they all made it past Googles ample defences.
> engaging, interactive, and actionable

I don't want my emails to be 'engaging, interactive, and actionable', I just want them delivered with a minimum of fuss and preferably in plain text.

All this marketing bullshit is getting old.
I think its unintuitive because I have flashcards that I now have memorized pat that took me ages to recall easily.

Of course I don't think of them as bad, only "If its hard to remember, it'll be hard to forget". Aka, the ones that I have a hard time learning are the ones I always remember. I'll probably never forget the german word for security guard, die Sicherheitsbedienstete but it took me ages to memorize it.

For some odd reason that is my intuition, which appears to be not that of everyone. But my approach to learning is "failure is a good thing, its how you learn", which might be all the difference amounts to in the end.
QA being divided between Craig and Kim didn't help, either. Nor the organizational wars.
Thank you for pointing this out. I wasn't aware of that extension. I've only generated $14.12 in the multiple years I've used smile (inconsistently). It'll be interesting to see how much that changes in the next year.
I do the old-school thing of buying shows by episode on iTunes for this particular reason (even if the shows are available for "free" in Netflix or Amazon). My kid gets one new episode per week, and she only watches from the iTunes library, which is a self-throttle because it gets boring after a while because it's the same set of episodes. She also learns more from every show and can remember the name of species and their habitats etc way better because she has watched most shows dozens of times after some time.
When I was 8 I'd have only read books on dinosaurs, baseball, and the Legend of Zelda. It took me until halfway or more through college to realize I really liked programming, way more than I did my other majors I'd invested considerable time and money in (medicine, politics). Kids, especially 8-year-olds, need a lot of guidance and need to learn the fundamentals.

I'm very glad my parents and teachers worked hard to make me learn things I had no intention of learning, like math.
I didn't mean to question the substance of what you were saying; I was only thinking about the meaning of the term "Byzantine".
I think your sibling post is similar in sentiment and it comes down to transparency. In the "patches-to-a-list" model, there's no running status page or record of exactly what patches were rejected or ignored, and by whom. Anyone wanting that information would have to go to a lot of work parsing, searching, and analyzing the mailing list.

With Gerrit or pull requests, reviewers are clearly assigned and patch states are managed in a centralized dashboard. This makes it a lot easier for external stakeholders (managers, other development staff, etc.) to gain insight into how a team's working and whether or not they're being accepting or effective. And that's why, to me, these kinds of toxic maintainers seem to suffer an extinction event when moved to a more transparent system. The maintainers are the same, but their tool - quietly rejecting patches with little accountability - is taken away from them.

Early child education evidence is a whole complicated thing in itself, but programs shifting first reading instruction younger do not show benefits at older age, and school systems that put the expected literacy age much later than most Americans would expect don't underperform.
This is, like the comment of varelse, also a bit of an oversimplification.

To earn that kind of money as a plumber you would need to either work your way up over the course of roughly 15 to 20 years at a very generous plumbing company, or be an independent plumber with next level marketing skills.

The average plumber, pipe or steamfitter just coming out of their training is not going to get anywhere near 300 000 a year.
>To us, your experience on the web is a higher priority than the money that these annoying ads may generate — even for us."

That's begs the question - Why were those ads approved by Google in the first place? They were the source of the problem to begin with !! Also, before we rush to judgement, how much revenue were those ads generating for Google in the first place? I would respect them a bit more if they actually are taking a hit on this.

>But Google has demonstrated over the years that they're willing to sacrifice their short-term gains to maximize their long-term gains.

How have they demonstrated that? Could you elaborate?
> As an industry we've got to stop discounting vulnerabilities as not serious because they require user interaction which involves clicking through security warnings.

Maybe give it an actual name. Something like Vibkac: Vulnerability is between keyboard and chair.
It’s the same with the Banking sector...all those banking regulations are in place for a good reason, yet in sum they make it impossible to start a new bank and stifle competition/innovation.
On desktop, I agree with you. But I hope they do this for mobile, browsing on android is a dangerous place on ad-ridden websites.
Honestly, the price of a book doesn't matter to me. I'm far, far more constrained by time than money. Give me 15 free books and most of them are just going to sit on my shelf for a long time.

Unlike reading a novel, I find reading technical books don't really "stick" unless I invest significant time, right then, using the language and actually trying out what I'm learning.

It is akin to my experience with learning an instrument -- it is easy to get sucked into buying books and watching videos, but it does zero for my ability unless I'm actively playing and struggling with it.
What’s the Cost of Buying Links in 2018?
Plumbers make closer to 40k a year. Some tiny pcnt of them will get as high as the low hundreds, not as plumbers but as owners of successful plumbing companies. But the top tiny pcnt of software people who move into ownership and succeed become... stupid rich. if you compare apples to apples, the wealthy plumber fantasy fades quick.
What I am saying is that I don’t think such ruling would hold up at the end of it all.
There used to be a time where every new coder spent a couple of years learning/maintaining their elders' code - fixing bugs, porting, optimizing, learning about how the environment(s) integrated. The concept of journeyman in sw was a thing, and mgmt/team expectations from the youts was appropriately gated.

Now it's different (outside of HW orgs), but as I look out a decade or so, I'd rather have a part-time retirement job "cleaning up" interesting projects than travel/consulting.
They do discourage competition. Here's why that's important:

Amazon has more money than god. For whatever reason, they decide that your thing is valuable to them, and is extremely easy to create but also extremely novel in its inception (nobody thought of this before). It took you years of work to create, and you're now unable to monetize that work because Amazon/Google/Apple/Walmart/Whoever is able to create it faster using there tens of billions of dollars of muscle to stomp you out. Because they're better positioned to produce, your years of work is now financially useless.

The idea of "how long would it take for someone else to realize the same thing" is silly. They didn't. You did. innovation is a large part of what makes software valuable. Anyone can type code if you gave them a sheet of paper that would make the machine do what you need it to. The only reason software has any value is because it took someone time to figure out what code to type in the first place.
That is the exact opposite of what has been happening in recent years. Bigger independent breweries get bought out but more smaller ones take their place.

I'd also look into Buildroot [0]. I'm currently using Buildroot for a project and the whole distribution (including libraries and executables) is under 40MB. Since I am using a fixed dev board (i.e. peripherals are not going to change), I used lsmod to detect which drivers are needed and only build those, which really shrinks the kernel.

Buildroot also includes a cross compiler, so that you can rebuild the entire toolchain, kernel, and libraries in one go.

$150/hr is the maximum of the range they give, and then you have to subtract payroll taxes, equipment, marketing, etc. On top of that, it's not like plumbers are working jobs back to back 40hrs a week.
I'm also confused here.
Most definitions of "phonics" I've seen are just "teach kids how to connect written letters with speech sounds." What on earth would non-phonics reading instruction look like?
Check out online courses. Coursera, EDX, etc. Andrew Ng's intro to machine learning course is a nice way to get up to speed with some basic concepts without diving too far into math. It doesn't cover any state of the art machine learning concepts, though.

I was needed to help pay for a friend in the west coast for rent where the landlord took venmo. venmo denied me for who knows what reason. while this is going on, the landlord tried setting up google wallet (which I had already). I tried sending, but it never transferred (the bank said it was google's fault). I tried another one and it had to do that insert some money into account and read it to me dance which never showed up until later (which by then I gave up).
Completely agree. These are intelligent people who have done their research and are now making an informed bet. Whether or not their investment was justified remains to be seen.
I was in high school then, and unlike others I actually remember the bullshit I hear on the news. We were told that it wasn't like Korea, because the troops would come home immediately. To the contrary, the continued presence (to the present day!) of USA military in Kuwait, Iraq, and especially Saudi destabilized the Middle East and was the primary motivator for the author of 9/11. If evicting Iraqis from Kuwait was "the goal", why was that other crap necessary?
I know people with a large quantity of money who sit at home letting their teeth rot. I know people with limited means that are out every day living life to its fullest. We all have to "disregard money as a factor in our decision making" when it comes to happiness.

Your definition of fighting for a better organisation, boils down to replace people who are apt at nothing but political games with people who are apt with engineering knowledge.

You cant do that, unless you have a little island of sanity at the top, giving you a lifeline and air-support. Sorry, i for once m not good at office version of the game of thrones.
I imagine it could involve building two-tree tier 1 datacenters, writing couple independent software implementations cross-checking each other, integration with legacy systems, a lot of automated testing, documentation, training.
Also big vendor prices are not exactly cheap or fair.
Nobody is arguing for abandoning kids 24/7 to strangers. A good daycare is staffed by trained professionals who know how to take care of children, and know how to provide the love, attention and security that children need. Furthermore, I'm arguing for a maximum of 3 days of daycare, so each parent still has their own full day with the children, as well as the entire weekend with the family.

Yes, being abandoned by your parents can be traumatic, but that's not what daycare is. You're attacking a straw man. (The existence of bad daycares notwithstanding; they do exist, are hopefully rare, but should definitely be avoided.)
Yes. They get to write off equipment, marketing, etc. "It's not like plumbers are working jobs back to back 40hrs a week." In California probably more like 60hrs.

Spend a lot of time identifying early talents, do high school competitions related to those talents, get them into a top school and then just see what happens after that.

Perfect! Now design the math curriculum so that it steers you towards game development (this would be individual) and you have a good educational system.

It's important to note that the "flagging" is not done by users, but by Google themselves. And they do this based on the Better Ads Standards. After the initial flagging, the site owners are notified, and have 30 days to fix it, until the ads on the site are blocked. They then of course can still fix it, and get the ads unblocked.
I read your response yesterday evening, and was just going to take the lesson and move on. But that wouldn't be fair to you.

You are right. I was wrong.

I was taught that X inactivation happens so early in development (I think pre-neural tube, no?? if so, that's like what, 200 total cells?) that all neurons, or at least all neural subtypes (e.g. Purkinje, pyramidal, basket, etc) all have the same dominant X chr.

When I saw the picture in the NYT article you linked, I was immediately like- no. fucking. way! Well, anyway. I'm sorry about that; and I appreciate the enlightenment.

That said, you should check out figure 8 in the original article. I'd be interested to know what you think. Here's a direct link:

Sure, I just don't see why that should be disqualifying. If they are too shy about blocking ads, then most users will not even perceive that this feature exists and the status quo is unchanged. If they block even a handful of the worst offenders, it's a win for Chrome users. And if those blocks encourage people to clean up their act then it's a win for everyone.
Let them read things they are interested in? Yes

But kids don't know much about the world. Their interests will change. They need to be introduced to many (basic) subjects even if they fail to see the long-term benefits of the tools they learn.
