We use Crucible [1] for reviews and Jira [2] for task management. Each review links to a Jira task (or handful of related Jira tasks). On each review, we ideally:

- Add 3-4 people as reviewers

- Reviewers ask questions, make suggestions

- Author follows up to these questions (online or offline), and if they make code changes they link to the diff in a comment

- Close reviews only if 2+ people have finished reviewing

- It's okay to close reviews that not everyone has finished reviewing

Besides that, you don't even have to set up Webpack yourself if you're using the vue-cli app to create your boilerplate.

Then it's semantics, if that's true, and dopamine may as well be "pleasure". For what it's worth the expert's explanation of how cocaine "compels" you to do work didn't sound intuitive. The common understanding is that it alleviates your brain's need for "pleasure" so you can focus on long term goals instead of short term goals (distractions). It's intuitive because it's analogous to satisfying one's pressing immediate needs so that one can do other higher level stuff.

It's not a systematic means of redress or resolving bugs though though, it an arbitrary action to benefit people with a sufficiently close relationship with the dev team. An approachs which could just as easily burn you as bail you out, especially assuming most people still undecided about getting involved in the ETH ecosystem don't have close relationships with the dev team.

If code or asking Vitalik nicely enough is law, I think I'll stick with lawyers, thanks...
Right, so it's not difficult but just annoyingly undocumented and unfinished. I've already stated that it's the biggest issue with the project and something they should resolve before making even a minor update, but the lack of any project managers makes that unlikely.
This is exactly what some quant funds like RenTech and DE Shaw have done—they look for data sets that show signals before they hit the market.

You can view a traditional market as a process where information from the real world flows in, and people can either make money by predicting how others will react to that information, or reacting slightly faster (HFT), or understanding the patterns the information tells you (e.g. stat arb).

But even better if you can get the information before they hit the markets, hence the search for more and more data sets that have predictive value.

This changes the actual market (the exchange) from the place where prices changes reflect different sets of participants' views being hashed out (the market is performing information processing mediated by price signals), to one where the actual predictive signals are monopolized by private parties before they hit the market.

But note that this is exactly the path that the large tech platforms' ad exchanges have gone down as well. The price per click/conversion of a user and the outcomes of real-time bidding are hidden from everyone except the particular participants of the transactions; we're moving from a world where public markets (no matter their limitations) reflect the sum of public information in real time, to one where the thinking and computation are moved into hidden platforms.

At some point, of course, some bright person is going to create an exchange/marketplace for data signals, and then the financialization/reification of another abstraction will take place.
I think the concept here is fascinating. One thing I didn't see addressed was that it's not totally unexpected for rare causes of death to be overrepresented in the news (apocryphally, it's been said that "dog bites man" is not news--"man bites dog" is).

That said, it seems like the modern short news cycle has edged out attention being paid to long term trends (kidney disease mortality prevalence was surprising to me as well).
Sounded something like parallel construction to me.

Sure they do. You also need connected lobbists who understand how things work (which costs money), but the kickbacks ultimately are clearly worth it or they wouldn’t do it. American democracy is bought and sold to the highest bidder — the high end lobbists usually even write the bills that get voted on [1]!

> Talking about the notification tray, due to Ged’s work, icons of killed and finished process are now automatically removed, even when apps crash. This is something that Windows doesn't even provide with Win10, and many Windows users may have noticed.

Made me chuckle. This has bothered me since forever. It seemed like such a low hanging fruit to fix, I wonder why Microsoft never did.
In that case, don't read too much about how ACH actually works.

You are supposed to obtain authorization first, but this is not generally verified at the time of the transaction (some accounts do white list specific accounts for outgoing ACH transfers). People can pull money out of your account with just your account and routing numbers.

The only way to initial an ACH chargeback is to attest under penalty of perjury that you did not authorize the transfer. (Not receiving the product / fulfilling the terms of the contract is not a valid chargeback reason for ACH).

So if you had indeed authorized the transfer (as maroperaza stipulates) then your only recourse is to sue them in court.

You're right, but they used the photo as evidence to convict someone. They couldn't get a match on a national database, but it's possible that they could tell which of the 3 held the bag.

There's another story to this too, I bet someone is developing a tool right now to scan fingerprints from youtube videos and photos. Maybe they can also plant them. The idea itself opens a new array of possibilities.
Nah, I think the trend of the commentary was just that the tooling is hard to learn how to set up. I think it is probably worth setting up and learning the tooling if frontend work is a non trivial part of your life. But as someone who just wants to put a toe in and feel productive it can be rough to find easy to use front end frameworks.
Very very true. They’ve helped me immensely in the past.
So you've decided to double down on the not-knowing-what-you're-talking-about thing? It would have taken you less time to look up the relevant facts than typing out that comment. Besides that, the whole thing reeks of post-hoc argumentation. This will be my last comment in this thread.
If their business model is built around revenue from the network service itself, the more customers/devices connected the better - by opening up specs and patents, it opens up other companies to build those devices.

According to the charts, most people die of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

First, most people think their habits and diet are not leading them to a cardiovascular disease. Then, those conditions that primarily afflict a specific demographic. So it might not be as relevant to someone who is let's say, less than 40 years old.
This move is very interesting.

I have been studying this part of the business quite a lot lately. A few considerations:

1) It seems to me that Opendoor, Unison, etc, and now Zillow, are trying to capture "pre-foreclosure" opportunities before they hit the market. Think about this: why would you want to sell your house quickly, and leaving money on the table, if not because you're short on cash and you know you will soon lose your house?

2) Secondarily, especially in the case of Opendoor, some homeowners might want to simply avoid the complex and time-consuming task of "changing homes" (fixing small details, picking the agent and listing it, staging it, handling the delicate balance between selling the current one and securing the next one, etc). Opendoor promises to vastly simplify this part, which I think is good.

3) I believe that some of these assumptions are specific of the current market situation, where in most "hot" real estate areas (SF, LA, Seattle, NY, Honolulu) prices are wild, the appetite for real estate has never been stronger, and at the same time there's still many opportunities to make a quick buck by flipping, accessing certain information earlier, etc.

I am not completely sure what will happen when/if the market corrects (might also depend on the size of the correction).

4) In the US the whole process of buying homes, financing them, and potentially use LLCs/Trusts/etc to handle various real estate properties as investment is still very fragmented, and still very dependent on which State you live in and in which State the property resides. There are essentially thousands of different combinations and configurations, and the optimal answer to each can also vary over the years, following updates to the legal code or to tax rules.

All in all, I think that Zillow is trying to carve out another piece of the market, and not necessarily because their current market is showing signs of slowing down (even if that has discussed just recently [0]). Heck, it might even be that Opendoor's outstanding fundraising results might have triggered the decision to go against them.

5) Long term, I think most real estate assets will become fully digital, and handled exactly like a small piece of software - that is, for everything that pertains property and ownership, taxation, transactions, etc. Of course, fixing a leaking pipe will still require a physical intervention :)

For background: I'm co-founder/CEO of a startup which will provide a software platform to digitize real estate assets, and legally transact on properties using APIs. We leverage the Ethereum Blockchain as a global land registry where these transactions are recorded. (I don't intend to use this comment to publicize it, hence no link).

That's partially the point. Increasing the minimum withdrawal amount will reduce the number of payments, absent any increases in revenues.
Do we have to have distribution tied to ads / monetization? It’s not true for the text content, yet here we are with the video, YouTube havving consumed it all.

I imagine a world where creators pay someone for video distribution, but also plug-in advertising from third party ad agencies that have learned to match ads to content due to advantages in machine learning. Same as text today.
Oh my god. I get it. You like Amazon. Sorry, I'm just more cynical than I think allows me to be polite at times. I'm really not trying to be rude.

I don't know what to say buddy. I wish it mattered. It doesn't. It just doesn't. They will all get a slice of the pie. They all do the lawsuit and contract BS dance. Some of them are better at PR than others. Some of them currently, and in the past, have made so much money, and have so captured the segment of government that they sell to, that they couldn't give a rat's a what you think. Oh, and you can't do anything about it. So, maybe feeling emotionally invested in who get's to run the virtual machines is one way of dealing with it.

The only fix for this is more participation in government...like I said...I'm a pessimist.
Well, the user response if 51% of miners decide to pick a fork that enriches themselves at the expense of users is "alright, I'm done, this cryptocurrency is worthless. Have fun spending electricity to mine these digital bits that don't mean anything."

The users who actually decide which currencies have value are those who are willing to exchange those currencies for things of value - either directly for goods & services, or indirectly through trading it with fiat currencies that you can exchange for goods & services. Like all currencies, Ethereum has no intrinsic value - it's just bits in a bunch of computers across the globe, the same as dollars are these days. Its value comes from peoples' willingness to exchange it for things they do value, which isn't going to be very high if the sellers don't believe it'll be worth something to them in the future.
What is interesting about the Land value tax is that, althought it might be crazy to think abuout at national level, it is perfectly reasonable and easy to do at the local level.

And economists both left and right agree that its a good tax. I never quite got why property taxes are so popular in the us and land value tax isnt. It just makes plain sense.

California is the first state that should be implementing it: if it had it, its housing problems would dissapear quickly. Nimbyism would dissapear very quickly.
With the upcoming death of Xmarks, I've often idly wondered how hard it would be to write a Chrome extension that could use Firefox's bookmark sync facility.
Changing social norms, competition, and technology shake up the funeral business
Firefox is fairly unusable performance wise with google maps and surprisingly facebook. Those are two huge apps that I feel like are table stakes for a web browser. Facebook is even more surprising, since it isn't an amazing webgl program rendering a complicated map view, it isn't created by a direct competitor and at facebook's size, making something work better for %1 of users is a big gain.
"We cannot afford the advertising business model. The price of free is actually too high. It is literally destroying our society, because it incentivizes automated systems that have these inherent flaws."

This is ridiculous. If nobody knew that this was happening, we'd be going on with our lives and nothing would be different. Society is not being destroyed by advertisements being delivered more effectively with user data. Whatever they're doing with it, it's preferable to having to pay to use websites.

How about the very small vocal minority of people who legitimately care about their data being harvested get to pay every website they want to visit, and the rest of us stick with ads?

I'm not affiliated with any sect and haven't been on a Dhamma.org retreat but I felt compelled to write that you can try to understand where they're coming from.

A 10-day retreat may give you glimpses of what is possible (that there's more than meets the senses) but that is only the beginning. This stuff (meditation and yoga) has been practiced and researched rigorously for thousands of years before being introduced to west. Iinm the many literature spells out pretty early that it's all about purifying your existence. Body, mind, soul, whatever.

Some of the things in the eastern (buddhism, hinduism, jainism, taoism) lore are more metaphorically true than in a very narrow strict literal sense. Some of it it can be understood experientially more so than to be taken on blind faith.

I have to say I really like what Sam Harris is doing and follow his podcast. He certainly has pushed me further into meditation and he seems to have had many insights into the nature of consciousness and did a lot of LSD so he has been to places for sure. Yet sometimes I have wondered if he has missed out something fundamental given his very narrow focus on stuff. Maybe I should listen to his three podcasts with the meditation teacher Joseph Goldstein again...
> Companies providing operating systems is a clear conflict of interest.

Google collects enough information even without Chrome, and very much so without you signing in. I know because I use only Firefox or iOS. And then even if I never watch youtube logged in, youtube videos that I once watched "follow" me even to the other, new computers or locations. I'm sure about that because it's very exact songs, very exact groups etc.
Ah. I understand now. Man, that's cool for a song to do that!

Like you said, that's not really doable for spanish-english. There's words like "similar" which are written and pronounced the same in both languages, but there's not enough to write sentences.

Depends a bit on your susceptibility to believe such things in the first place. If you're a little sceptical of some foreign policy incident and YouTube keeps surfacing the works of Alex Jones and David Icke as possible answers to the questions you've just seen a compelling video ask, there's a good chance it'll make you less questioning of the mainstream in future.
>More relevant: Does it matter if human brains renew their neurons?

That is a relative question. I imagine it really does matter to a variety of researchers in various fields. At the very least, it matters to those involved in so-called basic research.
You're exactly right. This type of thing happens quite often in BBC articles - they are very brief and seem to be written for the lowest common denominator so they omit so many crutial details that the article becomes almost a complete waste of time to read, especially if the article is on a technical field like criminal forensics.
> I wonder why Microsoft never did.

I'm assuming it's because of the size of the codebase, available engineering resources, return-on-investment calculation, and a business prioritization of new features over refinement.

Most engineers can look at their own work or codebase and think, "well, that's a bit shit but it works well enough." I can't imagine their backlog. I'm sure it's lurking in an issue queue somewhere.
All those are things a person can live with if all they want is a communication device that runs apps and browses the web.

It's true. These words are useful shorthand for common behaviors, and I have nothing better to offer that won't be encumbered with a non-deterministic history.

Frankly I'm a bit of a hypocrite. Here I am jumping on the word "choice" because of its metaphysical implications, but then I'm turning around and using other words that are just as muddy. Discussing this stuff is a real challenge because of the hidden implications buried in most of our language.

> Would there be an experimental outcome that could prove your hypothesis about it wrong?

Good question. The answer is that I haven't given it enough thought yet. I suspect that it may not be possible to prove or disprove the hypothesis in live humans because our brains are simply too complicated, with an enormous number of feedback loops. How do you test a subject from a known state when it is impossible to recreate a specific state? But then, how do you prove that we're not living in a simulation? When the door is open for metaphysical interpretations, then all we have is intuition and conjecture. It is possible that we're all made of fairy dust, but there's no way to prove or disprove that.
