Obviously Boston is massive. And I believe it's the top calibre medical schools that set it apart. Strong interdisciplinary research and clinical programs creating a feedback loop. Fed by a legion of hungry and talented MD / PhDs inventing the future in all areas from gene therapy to robotic surgery. And ready access to Route 128 venture capital.

But the up and coming contender may be Miami - Ft. Lauderdale. Doctors have always been attracted to South Florida as an ideal practice and convention location. And state incentives are driving pharma manufacturers to open factories in the region. With the added value of proximity to Latin American markets.

There are a number of incubators currently accepting startup applications in the area. Best of luck!

I agree but that's something fairly short of the total federal prohibition discussed on this thread. (The other federal angle, used against otherwise legal offshore betting, is banning bank processing). I also suspect this court is looking to limit the current near-limitless boundaries of the Commerce Clause.

I would argue they most of those are only intuitive from long use, and were no more obvious than three bars when introduced (though they were easy to learn and quicker to recognize than text, just like the menu convention.)

In a few years, three bars will be just as intuitive to most users, and probably be the intuitive icon we use as a reference when complaining that the icon to switch on ranged machine-brain interaction instead of touch interface isn't as intuitive as established iconography.

It's not binary. Robustness is something we lost. Yes, I am more happy (maybe?

That's the point; you're adding complexity and some people want to pretend that there's no trade off.
Oregon law should not be a mystery
In 1994, I was doing some Linux contracting for a company whose in-house programmer suddenly claimed "Linux causes data loss!".

The suspicion was based on copying a large number of small files (static HTML files generated from a database) on a MS-DOS machine. This was on the order of several hundred megabytes, IIRC.

On Linux, the disk usage of these files was quite a bit smaller, hence the suspected data loss.

This is because, of course, the files came from a FAT16 file system, which had to use large allocation clusters to handle that much data.

He wasn't wrong to be paranoid. I mean, what, Linux had been started by a student in Helsinki just three years before that, and here was this business running on it.
Excellent. Potential value is still value. Discipline is value.

It's easy to tell you that I'm really intelligent, wealthy, and friendly, whether or not it's true. Much of dating is around finding ways to demonstrate/identify desired characteristics (e.g. "wealthy people don't tell you they're wealthy"). There are people who know how to play this game without having the underlying values they telegraph (leads to issues in the long run, avoid). The much maligned 'just be yourself' is actually entirely true, just firmly in the simple, not easy, category.

Love yourself, know your strengths, and don't give up. A rejection saves you time and moves you closer to the right person(s).

Lions have a hunt success rate of 19%. If they were human, they would give into despair after 3 attempts, convince themselves they're a failure, get even worse at hunting, then starve to death. Don't take failure personally.

I did say that Western countries should have proactively prevented this through trade restrictions. Free trade sucks when your trading partner doesn't care about pooping in their own yard for some short term gain. Sometimes developed western countries need to step up because the other country is being irresponsible and just can't manage to do the right thing for their own interests on their own.
>There’s a good guy, there’s a bad guy, there’s the struggle and sacrifice of the good guy, which eventually trumps the bad guy leading to a rich life.

These are tropes and elements common to almost all storytelling, and certainly to fairy tales and myths. Americans didn't invent any of that, and neither did Disney.

And as far as Star Wars goes, the Empire are the Bad Guys, basically Space Nazis who dress in black and white and hang around starkly brutalist technology which doesn't even have basic OSHA compliance because they're just that evil.

The Jedi are the Good Guys. They dress in earth tones. Or, at least, the two we meet in the OT do. But they must be the Good Guys because they're fighting the Bad Guys.

And the Rebel Alliance are also the Good Guys. No one thinks twice about the morality of blowing up the Death Star and all of the hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of people on board, because those are Bad Guys. Luke Skywalker force chokes two Gammorean guards in Jabba's palace, but that's fine, because just look at how ugly they are. They're basically orcs, obviously Bad Guys.

Luke Skywalker and the entire Skywalker clan are an elite bloodline more or less chosen by "God" (The Force) and morality in their universe is based on divine law and destiny. That only changes and really begins to be examined and deconstructed after the franchise leaves Lucas' hands. The whole story is a pastiche of the Hero's Journey.

Does Disney assimilate, homogenize, ruthlessly brand and churn out artifacts of myth and storytelling? Yes.

Are they also capable of telling a good story? Also yes.

Perhaps you need to find a bit more nuance.

The Mac had ridiculous margins compared to PCs by 1987 - especially for color Macs.

Jean Louis Gassée (founder of Be) was the main executive of Apple who went for short term margins instead of going for market share.

I got my first Mac in 1992 after owning an Apple //e for years. For the price of my Mac LCII - 68030-16Mhz with slow built in graphics, and a 512x384 12" monitor that wasn't compatible with most Mac games, I could have gotten a much faster 386, a sound card, and better graphics, much cheaper. Then Apple even cheap out more and had a 16 bit bus instead of the 32 bit bus. The Mac used 68030 processors that were used by other workstations, SCSI chips that were widely available, etc.
> Collectively, it's a level of intellectual effort that humanity has likely never brought to bear on any other problem besides, perhaps, farming.

I mean, if you are measuring in terms of brain cycles, perhaps. But huge amounts of these brain cycles were wasted because people lived in small tribes and information decayed quickly in space and time, requiring everyone to continually re-invent things. And the detailed knowledge for hunting one type of animal in one region was not particularly applicable to other animals in other regions, so these are to a large extent just different problems.
It's funny, you could also say this of Ruby and MRI, which is in so many other respects the polar opposite of Haskell.

The algorithm is already being implemented in synapse (but got delayed by dealing with some security bugs). There's also a rust test jig for playing with algorithms around merge resolution at https://github.com/erikjohnston/rust-matrix-state/.

It's not directly related to the Categorical Theory of Patches paper - the merge resolution here is much simpler than reasoning about VCS patches, although the approach of taking a formal mathematical approach is similar :)

> The last 60 years have been a study in how to keep the forms of democracy while making a dictatorship of the billionaires.

The political system was even more run by the elites 60 years ago. For one example, we raise issues now that party insiders or elite-written election rules may somewhat distort the results of the primaries (and caucuses that are open to most party-registered voters, though they are more time consuming and for that reason exclusionary than primaries), 60 years ago we had the same partisan duopoly, without even a fig-leaf of meaningful primary elections, where caucused were much more limited in participation.

I am somewhat worried about Dropbox. They are giving every indication of trying to "pivot" away from file storage into some kind of unwanted "shared collaboration space" where I can "unleash the creativity of my team" or what not. Just check out their company blurb:

Not SV, but according to my anecdata, RHEL/CentOS is more oftenly used in enterprise deployments, while Debian (and Ubuntu) traditionally dominates Web deployments. A Debian-style Apache httpd setup with structured config files and a2ensite, a2enmod, etc. is also what mainstream shared hosting workflows are based on.

I feel like 3D touch is all the hardware you need... it just isn't used that way.

A 'peek' already provides a preview of an item -- it just isn't used for action buttons. 'Peeking' into the name and description of an icon would be a fairly straightforward extension of the idea.

This reads very much like a Udemy PR piece.

I’ve seen these types of moves several times in the enterprise and it seems to me an HR covering-its-ass move so that they can fire people with cause for not having the skills to perform a job role that changed under the employees feet. This is at least 10x cheaper than losing unemployment claims.

Good and bad are inherently subjective. There are objective features of things, but ascribing good or bad to them is a subjective association.
Depends a lot on the person. I see a lot of 60+ year olds watching TV but younger tech-savvy 50 something’s watch TV substantially less or not at all. I have a TV - only gets turned on for elections, major political announcements or certain annual sporting events.

My teen years were in the early 80s and TV was simply the prime source of media at that time. My family religiously watched the national news at/before dinner. My parents still have that habit - but they’ve learned to record it and zip thru ‘crap’. Sometimes they now zip thru 30 minutes in a couple of minutes.

It also seems that the quality of the content has massively declined. On the rare occasion I am waiting somewhere and there is a TV on, I’ve been stunned by how low quality some of the advertising is - poorly produced voice overs that would have been inconceivable in the 80s.

I’ve met a few people who have their TV on all the time. I have never formed a positive opinion of people who have that habit.
Agree- maybe for protection?
I grew up in Detroit in the 80’s and I witnessed the dying gasps of the US auto industry - and I do believe that the UAW had a lot to do with killing it. The problem is, if you go back further, when they unionized, they basically had no choice - they were pushed into a corner by management like in TFA, so it was a choice of committing suicide slowly or being murdered quickly.

Mystery meat navigation is purely opaque, whereas icons like GMail's are at least trying to convey meaning via their imagery. The Wikipedia page for Mystery Meat Navigation actually has an example that is completely opaque as well, as does this example video by the coiner of the term: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zZ...

I don't think it's quite fair to call bad iconography "Mystery Meat" because it's not executed well. The difference is that users can (and do) learn what the icons mean and then can find them visually, whereas in true MMN, you'd absolutely have to move your mouse over what you were trying to find.

GMail has the challenge of trying to not make their UI busy while at the same time trying to come up with iconography for "Archive", which is not as prevalent in the zeitgeist as "Bold" in a word processor.
Pursuant to Gonzales v. Raich, which ruled that Congress could criminalize the production and use of homegrown marijuana for personal use, the interstate effect of gambling in any form on any activity is almost certainly sufficient for Congress to regulate or prohibit any or all gambling activity.

In addition, the Ninth Circuit has held that Congress has Commerce Clause authority to criminalize possession of homemade machine guns.

Congress has chosen to allow states to regulate gambling to a certain extent, which explains its legality in various forms in the various states.

People often make the mistake of thinking text and icons are two ways of doing the same thing

Labels are good at telling you what things are, but finding specific frequently performed actions in a list of text that all look similar will yield frustration

Icons (and especially icons with colour, or icons plus colour) are good at allowing you to quickly find something you're already looking for, but expecting icons to perform the job of labels to provide initial information will yield confusion

Modern TLS uses AEAD in the form of ChaCha20-Poly1305 as well as AES-GCM. I believe that the current standards in AEAD for ciphers are GCM-mode, EAX-mode and OCB-mode (CCM-mode is also used but only because it has no patents while OCB does -- CCM is more complicated and doesn't have some nice properties that OCB has).
I remember when people were whining about this with Windows 7 when it was doing the same thing.
> Citation needed on Steve being lower class. Lower compared to what?

They very clearly struggled when it came to money. Somewhere between lower and middle, is most likely. Based on the available history, Paul & Clara Jobs pushed their meagre finances to the limit to try to give Steve better opportunities, including moving to Los Altos because Steve was being tormented where they had been living.

"Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24th, 1955. Schieble gave her baby up to Paul and Clara Jobs, a working-class couple in San Francisco. Paul, a high school dropout who grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, made his living as a debt collector, a repo man and a machinist. Clara worked as a payroll clerk at Varian Associates, one of the first high-tech companies in Silicon Valley."

"When Jobs was three, Paul moved the family from San Francisco to Mountain View, an unsophisticated town of tract houses and apricot orchards just south of Palo Alto."

"Paul tried fixing up old cars and dabbling in real estate, but money always seemed to elude him. In the fourth grade, Steve's teacher, Imogene Hill, asked the class, "What is it in this universe that you don't understand?" When it came to Steve's turn to answer, his reply was heartbreaking: 'I don't understand why all of a sudden we're so broke.'"
