Very excited for this, but 5.7" is monstrously large. Still can't wait.
What’s wrong with just putting the helmet with the bike when you lock it up?
Kind of amazing to me how history goes in cycles. When I started as an entrepreneur in the nineties it was much easier for an MBA to raise venture capital than an engineer. If by some chance a coder did raise money he'd be replaced by an MBA the second he found a repeatable business model.

But after the crash the VC's figured out they got better results mentoring a founding engineer to become a CEO than going the MBA route. Now for some reason Harvard wants to reverse this trend? Doesn't make any sense at all to me.
@levelsio website hood maps was able to handle hundred thousands users on sqlite. For stuff you're charging for scale is not issue, as in you won't face that problem.
Oh it's definitely true. To the extent that I, an atheist with a long history of moving or being moved to random cities in which I know basically no-one, have seriously considered going to church there - just to get some social interaction and maybe even friends in a self-selecting group of vaguely judeo-christian tradition, active, gregarious people who might even be interested in bettering themselves, philosophy and making the world a better place. Damn, I'm talking myself into it again.

And that's an interesting quote. Perhaps that rule would be better reinstated.
> Whew, Bezos practically had billionaire status handed to him.

Counterargument: he was in the right place, at the right time, and happened to be working in a sector that made it easy to pivot into online retail.

Not to say that his skill/leadership wasn't involved in going from say 2bn to 100bn, but he lucked out in timing.
Point in fact: Braeburn Capital which is one of the largest hedge fund (if not largest outright) in the world by assets under management.
Yep. MacBooks are pretty good at shedding whatever you put on them. Even sharpie rubs off pretty easily.
Somewhere around half of the candidates I interview have a tough time with hexadecimal, and definitely can't do bit manipulation without help.

It's kind of depressing, but I've adjusted how I ask my problem since it's not actually needed to demonstrate the skills I want to see. It doesn't take long to learn bit manipulation when it's needed, even though it seems like a foundation of computing to me.
That's really clever, but extremely inefficient. Something like 1 << (sizeof x - __builtin_clz(x)) should be way faster.

Edit: you obviously have to multiply by 8 to convert bytes to bits
Why would this be surprising? Harvard mints MBAs, and those MBAs donate money to Harvard when they hit it big.

Obviously Harvard is going to do its level best to make sure its graduates have the whip hand in industry.
Try and work remotely out of the US, salaries here (Vancouver) are shit once you factor in taxes and cost of living.
And how does the postal worker delivering thousands of letters addressed to "UPS Headquarters ATLANTA" to a dude's apartment in Chicago not think it strange and report it?

Establishing Scope of Work, and sticking to it, is the fundamentals of management.
For employment, there is time and responsibilities. Responsibilities should be matched to time, and if one changes so does the other. If there is too much work, either there should be be paid overtime to make costs visible for future planning, or resources should be added.
Sticking to 40 hours per week is not only good for employees personal lives. It is a good management practice.

Er, yes, that’s exactly what they want.

I think you’re talking past the GP; they weren’t making an argument about what toys kids will retrospectively agree they enjoyed, but rather what toys kids will demand.

(Also, something you may not have considered: frequently the toys kids want are not about playing with them themselves, so much as they’re about making other kids more interested in playing with them, and thereby becoming friends.)
The starkest contrast between the CS building and the business school on campus isn't the way students dress or the conversations they have -- its how much their alumni donate. And let me say, CS does not match up in that regard.
For the usability/design side, I've seen this happen when you have designers/product manager attached full time to a product that aren't needed. The product is fine but now they have to justify their role ongoing so keep making updates that are simply not needed. Or a new designer is hired and they cant agree the last guy did a great job and do a couple of small tweaks. Because you cant justify a role for a year on that. They have to 'improve it'.
Laughable that this story isn't getting any attention here, given its wide significance.
"Business is business, it's not personal" said the gang enforcer before cutting a finger off someone who was late paying their protection money.

"Business is business, it's not personal". And that's part of the problem.

One of the reasons Excel is still so popular for business processes compared to purpose-built apps. The main disadvantage (the user can go in and edit any data or formula that they want) is a feature to many users.
This is nothing compared to the what the white-collar criminals at the top levels of Wells Fargo managed to expropriate from their customers.
Oh yes, I've done #1 before. My favorite is to stuff a credit card A offer return envelope with the crap from a credit card B offer, and vice versa. Sometimes if they really piss me off, I'll throw in a few heavy things (rocks, etc) so they pay extra. A small ziplock bag full of sand fits very nicely, and weighs (relatively) a lot. I've yet to try taping a return envelope to a large box, but it seems like the postal service would accept it and charge them accordingly, right?
Fyi, Expensify uses sqlite as it's primary database in a HA clustered way, see bedrockdb.com for more details.

Skype for business is shit.
It filters content. I cannot paste an error to a colleague, because it's "too large". If I first write a meaningless "Hi" instead, I can paste the text just fine.

Settings revert a lot.

It's damn slow for remote sessions. Barely usable, really. File transfers don't work most of the time (and are slow).

Phone service? Call quality is really really bad.

The mobile app (Android at least) eats battery like candy, fails to send messages and is crashing a lot.

Lync/Skype for Business is a daily pain to suffer here.
Some interesting factoids here.

- The US legal limit of glyphosate are vastly higher than the EU, ranging up to 10000% in some cases (cattle). (EU) [1] (US) [2]

- Glyphosate has been declared a probably carcinogen by the World Health Organization.

- Monsanto is the developer of glyphosate. The former head of the FDA, appointed by the last administration to a newly created position tongue in cheek referred to as 'The Czar of Foods', officially "Deputy Commissioner of Foods the FDA", was Michael Taylor. [3]. Michael Taylor was a Monsanto VP whose career was in large part started by legally arguing that companies ought be allowed to knowingly allow at least some percent of carcinogens into processed foods.

- US regulatory agencies test thousands of products for hundreds of different chemical residues. Even though glyphosate is, by far, the most widely used chemical herbicide, it was never tested for until after the WHO declared it a probable carcinogen and private tests showed extremely high levels of glyphosate even in products where it should not be present in, such as honey. [4].

- Regulatory capture sucks.

It's easy to do _since less than a year_
Parent assistance, while doubtlessly well-intentioned, is really tricky, as it could unintentionally act to inhibit creativity instead of foster it, as the child tries to copy the parent and work within the often unconscious parameters and restrictions the parent sets rather than going wherever their own vision and desire leads them.

I'm not sure if I'd plop a pile of clay in front of a child as an answer to their desire for some action figure, even with my own guidance to help them make it. I'd give clay as its own completely independent gift, perhaps with the only guidance being that they can "make anything with it" and only if the kid struggles to do anything, asks for help, or just forgets about the clay for a long time would I even consider trying to give more guidance than that.
Agriculture has a relatively fixed supply and demand every cycle because of nature and basic human needs. It's not a matter of defects affecting the bottom line, it's a reduction of invaluable output. Because natural forces flex and largely define the output for a given season, anything that can increase it is critical. Efficient agriculture technology is the only reason the world didn't collapse a la Malthus.

The best concept to replace chemicals in food production that I've seen is the use of UAVs or other robots to mechanically remove weeds and pests. Those tasks were done by humans for a long time, but we switched to chemical alternatives because human labor isn't practical for the scale of food production humanity demands.
Yup. Free market at work, too. Fungible labour = low wages and poor conditions because other people are available that will do the job. More specialized labour = We will acquiesce to your whims because replacing you is non-trivial and you individually have greater impact on the bottom line.
You could also COUNT on a query/filter to see if it exists by row count, then INSERT or UPDATE based on if there is an existing item for that filter/query. That is still two calls and can be safer, it can also be done in a transaction.

Lots of app level code in ORMs that use ADD/EDIT or CREATE/UPDATE actions can encapsulate this by just a SET, which counts the rows and then if zero INSERTS, if > 0 UPDATE.
I'm explaining this to myself as much as anyone else, but the end-result of "Business is business, it's not personal." is AI / Machines continuing the business at the expense of all human employees resulting in massively efficient business and corporations that slowly congeal into a single mega-corporation that does all products end-to-end, and then attempting to sell these products to the humans who no longer have any money because none of them have any work to earn it.

Heyyyy, it's just Business. Capiche?
This is a problem for people who trust MS updates. I use old (7.41) Skype on Windows 7, old (7.46) Skype on Android.

Maybe because HDDs are much cheaper than RAM. Or if it loses power, it can continue printing where it left off.
Nap pods and all that jazz don't help with work-life balance though. I'd say it's rather the opposite. I'll take strict 8-5 schedule over 8-10 with all the in-house entertainment any day. Taking a nap any time you want just means you stays in office longer and do less "life" stuff.

Ask HN: Ex startup founder trade stocks for a “carve out”?
The startup I co founded did not workout and I ended up leaving with some stock. The current CEO is offering to convert my common stock and voting rights to a “carve out” agreement. Has anyone gone through this? Should I take it or how do I decide? They are offering 3% up to 50M exit topline.
Interestingly, though, if psychoacoustic compression was used in when reuploading a video, that 3000-6000Hz range might actually be restored—it’s less information if it’s there than if it’s not.

Similarly, if the video is heard through a phone line, the call might be using a symbolic voice codec, which would also restore the range (in the sense that it’s not even storing sound, just phonemes.)
i’ve read that the Navy has cut huge corners on training in recent years, this summary sounds like a complete indictment of that.
The new electron-based UI is super shitty too. Thank god I still can use the old native app on the Mac for now.
So, basically, steganography.
In my strange corner of the world that hasn't been "agronomically optimized", there aren't giant monoculture farms spraying insecticides, and there are dozens of species acting as pollinators.

No one pays for "pollinator services".

I suppose there's a business opportunity for someone to capture all the rainfall, dam the rivers, and sell it back to me as well.

Herbicides and pesticides aren't necessary for agriculture. They are necessary for a very specific type of agriculture that has been lobbied for and subsidized, starting with the Nixon administration's "get big or get out out" message to farmers. It's been successful by metrics like 'food produced per man-hour of human labor', and appears cheap because we are all forced to partially pre-pay under threat of violence (overly dramatic way of saying its subsidized through taxes), and ignoring massive externalities of ecosystem destruction.

Yeah, I read through the post and (assuming I'm parsing it right) can't figure out why this hasn't caused a massive shitstorm already. Are they actually arguing that it's not a security bug because it's necessary for them to implement a 'one click sign in through Google' feature?

For the likes of Bezos work is completely optional and for themselves, they get to choose what work they feel like doing and when. That kind of autonomy has the effect of motivating one to work hard and enjoy it. Which is why Bezos can afford to be happy at work and "come home with tremendous energy"
I’ve locked a helmet up with my bike all my life, in several different cities; It’s a complete non issue to me. What is the concern; that someone will use a blade to cut the helmet strap so that they can steal your broken helmet? It’s effortless to leave your helmet attached to your bike.

Edit - I’m not saying I support laws enforcing helmets for adults; I just don’t think that helmet theft is a big concern.

I share you experience with my own UI/UX designs.

The irony is when the new system is for just a single customer, after going through several meetings with mockups and usage scenarios with all key users.
I confess, I left that partially as bait, because I know it's hard (I'm currently trying). It's infuriating to have so much ACIS geometry that is so far away from being available on the well documented kernels without licensing it from Spatial.
Because data plans and batteries run out too quickly. And the quality of the networks is really bad compared to non-mobile networks
That is the story of the labor movement. Skilled laborers were more effective at pushing for change because they could not easily be replaced.
I started an entrepreneurship program for life sci PhDs after seeing the shortfalls of existing programs and agree with a few points of this, namely that these programs should expose students to entrepreneurship but not force it on them -- not everyone wants to do a startup, and that opportunity recognition as a skill can be detached from entrepreneurship more broadly

However, at least in biotech a big reason for students disillusionment is that the programs aren't that great -- if the teachers don't have experience starting biotech companies, it's really hard to teach students what a good opportunity looks like or how to run a startup
The "you can recover overwritten data" thing is a myth. There was a paper that showed a theory behind it (for old drives using a different technology than is used today), but there's no proof anyone has ever actually done it. http://www.infosecisland.com/blogview/16130-The-Urban-Legend...
didn't realize this is a common method ..

the correspondence with neuroanatomy is impressive. i s'p, at that level (and i mean, likely even at the proteomic level for those that're particularly studied in that area), it could be easier to have results that can guide intuition. b/c that'd surely the useful thing about these kind of results, i imagine, off the cuff, to most people in the natural sciences: providing hints for further research on causal mechanisms and perhaps a reasonably plausible story or "hypothesis" to be fancy (like ketchup) about it

NoScript includes protection against this! He calls it ClearClick:

" whenever you click or otherwise interact, through your mouse or your keyboard, with an embedded element which is partially obstructed, transparent or otherwise disguised, NoScript prevents the interaction from completing and reveals you the real thing in "clear". At that point you can evaluate if the click target was actually the intended one, and decide if keeping it locked or unlock it for free interaction."

NetBrain seems focused on network infrastructure. Nurtch is simply executable runbook platform for anything you would want to automate.

Nurtch's primary use case is quick incident response for any operational issues. E.g. service outage, dependency failures, database acting up and such. Rubix library (bundled with Nurtch) helps with diagnosing and acting on these issues.
All businesses are about money. Everything else comes second. Making the best furniture or PC does not make it a successful business. You have to do it with within budget, you have to take care of sales/marketing, smooch the investors, motivate employees, risk you health/relationships. No body takes so much pain without a financial reward.
On macOS the desktop actually has slightly different behavior than a typical Finder window. Normally the desktop shows Hard disks, External disks, and Connected Servers; but if you open "~/Desktop" in a Finder window none of those items will be present.

Honestly, I never use the desktop for anything so getting rid of it isn't a big deal to me. Could you explain what kind of things you use it for? What's so bad about viewing the desktop through a window?
Also useful to generate subsets since possible the number of subsets of a set of n elements is 2^n.

(won't work for a large n)

Also... dividing by 2 is (n >> 1) and multiplying by 2 is (n << 1).
Yet they silently blocked his website from using this API thus acknowledging it's actually an issue.
A lot of those convenience problems are solved with airbag helmets since they do not affect hearing, sit on the neck, weight less and take significant less space when carried around. They do however cost about the same as a whole (on the cheaper end) brand new bike. If/When those drop to the cost of regular helmets then I can see how mandatory helmets make more sense.
I will recommend you to focus more on task management and architectural design. Your team expects guidance on what to build with clear expectations.

In my country it's 50+ %. While the EU paid direct cash subsidies are high, they only scrape the surface making up about 25% of the subsidies.

On top of the EU sibsidies there are direct national subsisidies and a wide spectrum of indirect national and EU level subsidies like export, pension, environmental, protectionist import duties, etc. And yes, beef production gets a similar share of subsidies as other types of farming.

I can't find good europe wide stats. I may have overgeneralized and the average may be under 50%. But the subsidies are still very high.
Well, that did protect users from his site, at least :)
Whether you believe glysophate is carcinogenic or not, this scandal demonstrates how the FDA works for industry, not the people.
