In terms of "tech" start-ups fads, the current fad is crypto-currency, it was "social" before that, and I'm optimistic that there will be a fad after the blockchain. The optimist isn't worrying about "the first tenants off the boat" in a recession, the optimist looks forwards to the next bull run, and whatever the next fad actually ends up being, those companies are going to need office space, and WeWorks is betting on selling shovels in the form of office space.

Just like companies have moved their computing to the cloud, the bet by WeWorks is that office space itself can be thought of in the same way. Sure, companies having their own office space will never go away just like on-prem will never go away, but for a specific type of company, WeWorks is betting that it's a niche that's still big enough to justify their $20 billion valuation.

They do add some value; basically, having an office manager, and for a sole proprietorship who may be big on plans but short on time, it may be better to exchange money for WeWork amenities, rather than spending time dealing with office stuff, eg going to supermarket to stock the office with snacks.

WeWorks isn't selling office space by the sq foot, but similarly, Apple doesn't sell computers by the gigabyte of RAM either. They sell being a part of a sexy glamorous office full of other people seizing life by the horns and living life to the fullest, including meetups, and happy hours, and an app. Gotta have an app. People don't do the boring office job that your parent's did, at a WeWorks space. (Whether or not people are doing the same boring office job is besides the point, that's what they're selling.) By building their brand, and offering convenience and consistency, the goal is to just be where sole proprietorships and tiny companies work, during this fad, and the next.
Interesting. Since the senate is one vote per state, what was California would go from 1 to 3 senators. If carved up in this manner, I wonder how the new states would vote?
A study finds nearly half of jobs are vulnerable to automation – Daily chart
I have observed exactly the same thing. It's truly mindblowing.

I also find it remarkable how quick people are to blame the engineer, rather than considering the whole picture (process, tech debt, politics, etc). It's a complicated equation with a large number of variables.
Same thing in the Bay Area. We are 20% the state’s population but pay 40% of the taxes.
This trick used to be the way I would download (or play in VLC) videos sent through Flash embeds in webpages. Way back in the day there was an actual temp file. But many companies didn't like that so they started deleting the file immediately to preserve the consensual hallucination that is 'streaming' and keep the lawyers happy. The way around this was to use stat, proc and awk in a bashrc function, ie:

vlc $(stat -c %N /proc/*/fd/\* 2>&1 | awk -F[\`\'] '/tmp\/Flash/{print$2}')

With newer versions of Flash this too went away (around ~2014). But I still keep a browswer profile around that uses an old one around just so I can access the downloaded file to play in VLC (much smoother).
Not really true, unless it was explicitly submitted as protected data.

What toy have to doo is to provide a way to scrub accidental data leaks.

I'm thinking cases like "someone posted a picture of their friend with a cat on your site". Not explicitly labelled "send in a photo of yourself".

Or if someone posted another's address. You should respond to it at least in request, preferably earlier.

The discovery service is mostly to help people transition by checking their third party operators if they do not know who that is.
So we should just abandon our rural areas? That seems backwards.
According to what evidence? Due to yeild tolerance, they tend to be among the first made, even getting made during risk production.
I'm mildly in favor (or at least not outright opposed) to the similar "State of Jefferson" plan (counties north of Sacramento leave California and join some far-southern Oregon counties to create a new state), which seems to be more obviously supported within the affected counties.
Wanted at Chinese Startups: Attractive Women to Ease Coders’ Stress
I face this almost every time I meet someone new. I've forgotten the number of times people have asked me why I look sad or angry. People are intimidated often (especially women, which they've verbally expressed), until they get to know me. Combine that with an introverted personality, heavy beard and an above average height and I look like the right hand henchman of the evil Russian Drug lord. Even if I get a little serious in discussions, people think they've angered me. I constantly have to throw in jokes, just to balance the state of seriousness. I consciously try to smile more often, but it feels forceful. Wondering if there are any facial exercises that help.
Or Aeon. Or Phoneum. Or Telcoin. Or Status.im. Or a dozen other coins with near identical goals.
A thing that is pointed out is the life of a vehicle, especially a bus might be 15-30 years. During that time the grid will become a lot cleaner. Where with a diesel bus emissions wise you're all in.

There is also the long tailpipe, diesel buses produce toxic emissions where people are, coal fired power plants produce emissions elsewhere. (not necessarily, but likely)
Repairing and upgrading subways would require local political wherewithal that NYC has not demonstrated so far. If Albany is truly draining fare money from MTA your rides might be cheaper but the changes wouldn't happen any faster. But is Albany really getting money from the NYC MTA? I'm skeptical.
In theory that'd be "counties", but quite a few California counties don't seem to think they have sufficient autonomy (hence this proposal, the Jefferson proposal, etc.).
> Yes, you can access them; but I don't believe you can link them.

Yes you can. I remember YouTube's flash viewer back in the day would put the downloaded flv video in /tmp and then delete it. I used to check the flash pid, go to /proc/{pid}/fd and see the symlink to the deleted file. Then a cp would give me the actual file.
This is perhaps the best reason why, unlike a very large proportion of my family, I've never had a problem with alcohol.

It's always around. I can have a drink whenever I want (and I mean, I have drinks socially, I usually end up playing bartender at parties, that sort of thing). But it is, and always has been, something that happens on my terms.
That is not true, dtrace cannot modify data and is specifically designed not to do so.

It can however be used to leak information or read info out of other processes.

I was going to say that for this reason even on linux you can't ptrace processes that are not children of the current process (e.g. you can run something under strace, but not attach to an existing process unless you twiddle a flag or do it as root). Having said that, you CAN modify data with ptrace, unlike dtrace. So that's kindof an aside. In any case the idea is that one process can't hijack another even from the same user for ptrace.
Facebook is the greatest pound for pound profit machine in recent history (formulated as high enough sales to at least be high up on a Fortune 500 equivalent of the time, combined with very high margins). It surpasses Standard Oil, Microsoft, Apple, Exxon, GM, Ford, US Steel, IBM and Aramco at their peaks.

~44% net income margins; 50% operating income margins; on $40 billion in sales. Nothing like that has ever existed before. Apple, which is of course a huge profit generator, is typically closer to 20-25% net income margins. Microsoft got pretty close to Facebook type figures at its margin peak in 1999-2000.

Facebook has absolutely nothing to fear from GDPR. They can permanently abandon the entire EU market in terms of advertising, provide their product with zero advertising in that market, and they'd still have one of the most profitable businesses on earth and would continue growing larger yet.

A 4% tax on global revenue? Laughable for Facebook. And that's the maximum hit. That's $1.6 billion last year for Facebook. That drops their net income margin down to 40% instead of 44% (~$16b in profit instead of ~$17.6b).

They could pay a $1.6 billion fine every year for the next century just out of cash and never notice it (profit would continue adding to their cash, and then returns yielded on the cash-equivalent holdings would pay for the $1.6 billion fine).

Unless the EU dramatically increases the penalties, it's barely even a speeding ticket for Facebook. And in reality, they can easily avoid it just by complying with GDPR as it pertains to the EU. Facebook has such an extraordinary profit machine they can afford to drop the profitability of that market, and simply not care.
Coloring is not the domain of typesetting, just as coloring, inking and, indeed, lettering in comics are different disciplines.

On another note, typographic layout is often concerned with long texts, take TeX for example, but that's not today's web.

I try to stay under 140 characters per paragraph to limit myself. Feels like Knuth optimizing page breaks.
I think this and many of the comments illustrates part of the gap.

If you are in the big tech companies doing infrastructure work (and to some degree, product work), then you need a very firm grasp of the basics because you will have to revisit them. The reason one has to revisit them in these companies is because scale will demand taking different evolutionary passes that are not needed in most other companies.

What this does is create a barrier between jobs that pay crazy and the rest of the market that just need to cobble together a product. I actually experienced this many years ago when I assembled a hacker news meetup in the midwest. I felt rather isolated because most people were assembling some ruby website or some product while I wanted to build next generation infrastructure and write my own database.

Now, the problem here is that ex-big-tech workers will bring the same processes from big companies to smaller scale. Small companies need to pick their battles, and they need to decide to educate and wield weaker engineers; most will not because that is expensive.
And in anticipation of the rebuttal that the probability is still 0 because it's never exactly normal, what I really meant originally but didn't write out explicitly for brevity and because I assumed it would be implicit: when I talk about giving an upper bound on p(null | data) from p(data | null), what I really mean is giving an upper bound on p(null | data, normal) from p(data | null, normal) where normal is the assumption that the distribution of whatever parameter we are looking at is normally distributed and null is the event that the difference in means between the two groups we are looking at it is less than some predetermined positive threshold. Or, for a 1-sample test, that the mean of a single group is within that threshold of some default value.

I'm kind of sad it's come to the point where different regions of America claim they're "subsidizing" other regions populated by other Americans.

I mean, I'm sick of "subsidizing" all the black people in the US; why can't we just kick them all out? (this was sarcasm)

Of course, there is no way for me to know whether or not the time difference between the US and Moscow is significant enough to prevent HackerNews IRA shifts from happening.
Now you care because you have bad PR? Go fly a kite, Facebook. I've had it up to here with the fake politicians and companies and news people.
Embarrassing code I wrote under stress at a job interview (at Adaptly)

I've done about 100 interviews at a large tech company. You did fine. Maybe not the best but far from the worst, and definitely in the upper half.

The guy who is interviewing me has mostly stopped watching, because he’s already decided there is no chance in hell that they will be hiring me. He is looking at his phone.

More likely he was bored because he's done this dozens of times and always ends up twiddling his thumbs while the candidate deals with silly syntax errors. (Incidentally this is a point in favor of whiteboards, so that you both can focus on the actual logic rather than fighting the compiler).

I think they want someone who can write something like this in 5 minutes

If an interview session is 30 minutes, the anticipated outcome is not that you solve the problem in 5 minutes and spend 25 minutes chatting about the weather. I guarantee that many if not most candidates don't get to the point you did of having a working solution.

Even if they say “Please feel free to ask questions” if you phrase the question the wrong way, or ask a question outside the bounds of what they were expecting, it becomes a mark against you.

I obviously can't prove the lack of a subconscious effect, but I've never criticized a candidate for any question that they asked. Confirming something that was in the problem description is neutral, asking about something that wasn't (e.g. "is the input case-sensitive?") is a positive.
Point is the pot calling the kettle black.

> The simplified characters are not actually "remarkably different".

You're incorrect. As a simple example look at the difference in the character horse between the two character systems. You might be able to sort of figure it out if you knew ahead of time what it meant. Just plopping a whole pile of text in front of you with no translation in the language you're familiar with is fairly incomprehensible.

>Have you ever seen how Chinese actually write many common characters with a paper and pen?

Yes, I have written some stuff in chinese and I have friends who write sloppily. The strokes are still suggested if not perfectly expressed. Have you any experience?

> Orthography reforms happen in non-authoritarian countries, too.

Although there since it's not enforced, you end up with a plurality of languages, like India. You can change any individual language but still have to support the old way.
On macOS, you might be able to accomplish this with fclonefileat()
The orientation is determined by the seed crystal. You can choose whatever you want.

There will of course be long and skinny pieces. These will be much easier to recycle than the unused portions around the edge of a circular wafer; they need not leave the facility that cuts the wafers.

The end result is rectangles of a standard size in one dimension and varying side in the other dimension.
Unfortunately you have to accept it that many people make such dumb snap judgements about others just based on looks and ignoring many other cues.

> Reducing the distribution of content rated as false by independent third-party fact-checkers

Wonder who the independent 3rd party fact-checkers are. If one was in the business of "manufacturing consent" and wanted to control what is pushed to the front and what isn't, those fact checkers would be a great starting point. How easy is to influence them?

> Collaborating with academics and other organizations to help solve this challenging issue

Does that include, say, think-tanks? Specific universities? How are those picked and how are they rewarded for the collaboration. That seems like another easy area to influence. Don't go just to Facebook, but go a step further and try to influence these organization to push a particular story / product / idea etc.
Recently tried installing a snap package on ubuntu for the first time. Because of the sandbox environment in snap packages I had some trouble giving it access to mounted NAS drive. Ended up just going with the apt version of the same program
So I haven't actually used GraphQL at all, although I've sat through a bunch of talks on it and am pretty familiar with the concepts. That said, I have to say that the examples I'm seeing for setting up link-state mutations don't look like they're particularly concise.

Given that "boilerplate" is a typical complaint about Redux (which can itself be handled with whatever abstractions you want to put in place), I'm not seeing the appeal here. Is it just a case of "we're already using GraphQL, so GraphQL all the things" ? (Note that the article itself doesn't use the word "boilerplate", I'm just pointing at that as a reason I've seen people throw out for wanting to move to link-state.)
Try to view to it every 25 minutes (or whatever your preferred time slot is)?
Is that the norm? I guess the floor could be raised with a higher roof to compensate. I’ve noticed that new energy buses are taller (NG and electric) to make room for fuel/battery, but I’m not exactly sure where that is going.
Coding tests are exactly you saying you don't believe the experience written on the resume.

Wouldn't the self-assessed tax lead to unfair competitive practices? Imagine a small bookstore opening in the same town as a Barnes and Noble. What if there's no tax level that the small store can afford that prevents a mega-corp like B&N from buying out their property?

Imagine you live in a neighborhood with deep community or family ties. Someone down the street wins the lottery/makes an 8-figure exit and wants to buy out the block for a mega mansion. Can tax rates be low enough for you to raise your own valuation to "defend" your middle class home against vast wealth? What does that do to local government revenues?

The very rich regularly spend $15m or more on a home. If Jeff Bezos came by my house and decided he liked the view, I would have to start paying $300k in taxes or move (if 2% tax). I get that making $15m for my house would make me rich, but this is our first home as a family and all our memories are here. I shouldn't be forced to choose like that - protection from arbitrarily being forced out of my home is one of the main reasons to own a home in the first place.
Yes, there's been quite a few libs already created to try to implement per-component-state tracking in Redux:

https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links/blob/ma...

That said, did the component really _need_ the autocomplete state to be stored in Redux in the first place?
I’d love to see it broken up. Right now it’s just a guaranteed blue state for Democrats election after election, and many areas of California are getting poor representation. Since we’re currently in the process of shaking up a lot of things maybe it will finally happen.

How do you calculate a p-value based on this infinite set of models? Normally it is done using just one.
I don't have any actual numbers for its usage with Vue, but I can say that I've definitely seen several Redux+Vue adapter libs: https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links/blob/ma...

That said, I presume the majority of Vue users are using VueX.
The OP was talking about China. China is bigger than the continental US. I think the persistent myth about the US's size being some unique problem doesn't explain much.

What's more, if you think of the EU as a comparison for the US, with the individual counties as analogues for US states, it seems to explain even less. Belgium and Massachusetts are the same size but over has much better transit options than the other.

I think you may be misunderstanding the issue. A flash controller that tries to look like a block device needs to manage a mapping between logical and physical blocks along with various other pieces of metadata. The on-flash representation needs to be structured in a flash-friendly way, which often means that it’s not efficient to find the metadata needed to process an IO request unless that metadata is cached in memory.

On an HMB device, the metadata will be cached in host memory, which will likely adversely affect performance and power efficiency.
There’s a reason people refer to it as “ramping up”, as you become familiar with the environment and code base you become more and more productive until more or less plateauing a while later. It’s not really useful to categorise it as binary productive or not productive.
Ask your other investors and BoD. If they are onboard refunding one investor, go ahead.

It is a convertible note so there most probably a conversion and payback timeline in the note. If BoD/other investors decline to agree to refund now, let the investor know his options from the convertible note agreement.

Good Communication is the key to managing that investor going forward.

What can I do?
Legitimate question: how would you expect Redux _or_ any other state management framework to solve those problems for you? Or, to phrase it another way: how do other frameworks or libraries actually tackle this problem already, in a way that Redux doesn't?

My own apps have been fairly simple in that regard, so while I've seen a bunch of libraries to handle data fetching in various capacities, it's not an area I've had to deal with myself. So, I'm not sure what kind of "other framework handles it this way" comparisons exist.
It is really. I was surprised a few years back to find out there was even an anti-breastfeeding movement. My wife wasn't breastfed because her mom said in those years women were taught it was gross and backwards and women should be using formulas as a more "modern" approach. I thought it was a joke at first.
So, what does determine the "marketing" nomenclature for a given process node, if not a specific feature size or wavelength?
