For one thing, IBM got people to say "blockchain" instead of "blockchains" the same way that they got people to say "cloud" instead of "clouds" or "the cloud".

Blockchains attract people who know very little about computers or currency. You keep having the same discussions over and over again.

For instance there is the privacy maximalist who thinks Bitcoin is great because the U.S. government can't track his transactions. What he doesn't realize is that the blockchain is public so the U.S. government as well as the governments of France, China, Israel, Iran, organized criminals, extortionists, advertisers, spammers, etc. can all track his activity.
The thing is, bias will always exist but you can easily get unbiased information if you simply understand how to compare and contrast multiple sources and assess them together. You also have to learn how to take your own biases into account, which is honestly one of the most difficult things to do.
Using your numbers, that's $6-9 of total gross revenue per day, with up to 3 pickup/charge/redeploy charges per day. That would mean a lot of days with a net operating loss even before fixed costs and debt service are considered.

Arcadia.io | Software Engineer | Pittsburgh, PA, USA; Boston, MA, USA | ONSITE/REMOTE | Full time

Arcadia.io is a privately-owned healthcare analytics company founded in 2002 and based in the Boston, Massachusetts area with offices in Burlington, Massachusetts; Rockford, Illinois; Seattle, Washington; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with dozens of remote employees nationwide.

Phrased succinctly, we use patient records to help doctors tell patients how they can be healthier and how they can get better when they're sick by enabling those doctors to see a patient's record with every doctor they see.

We have a variety of positions available:

* Senior Software Engineer
* Software Engineer, Systems Generalist
* Software Engineer, Backend Web Development
* Software Engineer - Data Warehouse
* Software Engineer in Data Pipeline Integration
* and more

The main technologies we use are Ruby (on Rails), Scala (Spark, Scalatra web services), Groovy (Gradle and some other in-house stuff + Apache NiFi), and we even have some Rust (CLI app on Windows and Linux!), Python, and JavaScript apps. We're very much about using the right tool for the job, even if that means spending some time learning that tool. We're _really_ big on automation: we're in the middle of scaling our tech to grow our capacity by an order of magnitude within the next two years.

Our [careers link][1] is the best place to read more and apply. Feel free to ask questions via PM, too. I'm based out of Pittsburgh and I'm a hiring manager for some of the positions.

Not everybody has focused on amyloids other approaches are being explored as well. Here's one example that's focused on a bacteria:

I use openSUSE Leap 15 as my daily driver.

Since I don't want to tinker every weekend with my distro anymore I need something stable. openSUSE Leap, based on SLE, offers this. Additionally KDE is a first-class citizen and just works as intended.

There's also a rolling release version, Tumbleweed, but I didn't try it yet.
We use read-only OAuth scope for FWD:Everyone. The security story is actually very good:

- Tokens can only be used from servers that have been registered with Google, so even if a startup has their OAuth tokens stolen the attacks can't really make requests on their behalf.

- Tokens access has per user and per app rate limits that are configurable in the Google console.

- With read-only OAuth access, there isn't really any value to attackers. E.g. if anyone tried to reset your bank passwords, it would be immediately obvious because they wouldn't be able to delete the password reset emails.

I'm currently (i.e. today) writing a Gmail Add-on that only requires read-only access to the currently open thread rather than requiring it for your entire inbox. (Basically read-only access is granted when you click the icon to activate the add-on within the currently open thread.)

This is something that's become possible in the last six months and is probably a slight improvement from a security perspective, but even the baseline level is pretty solid. The tech industry has yet to see any large OAuth-related security breaches, and frankly we may just never see that given the combination of the good security story and the limited value to attackers.
Going to need a citation here, because all of the data says things are getting better. I live in SF, I have worked in mid-market and I edited the Street Sheet and worked directly with homeless people for several years. I'm not super interested in your one anecdote about the one time a homeless person scared you.
That type of filtering was also something that I had in mind.

It would additionally be interesting if the water would react to EM fields and confined spaces in a way that allowed for a 'micro' pump. Such a system might be able to operate in zero-g and thus be useful on extended space missions.
Your question is from a long-gone era, when it was all about the "Linux distribution" as such (a time when I myself still worked for one of those big Linux companies). These days that's just a necessary but in the end secondary item. Instead the business is all about "enterprise stuff": clusters, storage, cloud, SAP, devops, HPC - i.e. "solutions". The Linux distribution merely is the vehicle and the basis, the actual business is well on top of it though, on another level. Check out what redhat.com and suse.com present on their respective homepages (no need to go deep, just the headlines - the SuSE pages show it a bit better I think, open the "Products & Solutions" menu on suse.com for an overview). I follow a few people I knew at SuSE and whenever they post something on social media it's cluster these, high availability stuff that, distributed storage here, containers there. It's never about the "boring" Linux OS level any more, always about software and solutions on top of it.

By the way, I just checked the job listings (https://www.suse.com/company/careers/) to see what they are up to, and there are 320 open positions? Really? Did they grow that much? When I left the Linux world almost 15 years ago that was about the total size of that company, that was just a few years after Novell had acquired it. It confirms the impression I had from loosely following some SuSE engineer's social media posts, getting handed over to new owners again and again does not seemed to have hindered them from growing quite a bit. Wikipedia says they have a thousand employees now.
Their allegations are not entirely off base. The Coinbase BCH launch was a complete disaster. The BCH price pumped for days on other exchanges leading up to the announcement. See here for some more information:

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/pam4xn/coinbase-i...

In addition, they opened up trading on GDAX, but waited to open up buys and sells on Coinbase until Roger Ver’s segment on CNBC Fast Money (right when the price was at its highest).

That said, I do not think Coinbase should pay someone back for making a poor decision with their money. People like to deflect their own mistakes instead of taking responsibility. Coinbase didn’t make this person buy BCH at $5,000.
Tesla did not want to hit the 200k domestic sale number till the start of a quarter to maximize the number of people who get the full $7500 federal tax credit. They were close to the number, so they have probably been storing up model 3's to hit the limit soon after July 1.
i worked in BigEnterprise and they changed to Suse from RHEL because the price was significant lower, and the company had internal admins and other support contracts for managing the server support. The rule was that every software had to have a support contract behind it, even if we never used it.

Speechless (occurrence year 2011). Was it really just lack of appropriate personnel or design flaw. I just can't get that information out of the article. Someone cut corners.

Now, the article lacks focus. It expands unecessarily on every tangent (it reached ARPANET -- drops mic). 2 or 3 pages could have been 2-3 paragraphs or references. This article lacks an editor. (Or they are payed per page -- I think it is word count actually.)

The author could state: they pick remote locations, because it is cheap and away from publicity (power hungry) and less likely to become a target. Then argue and clarify with some details. Then go to the destructive events perhaps.

Like many others, I am not sure of the goal of the article to be honest.

This does nothing to help convince people that data privacy is important. Physical privacy and data privacy are two very distinct ideas that have very different implications in people's lives. Please don't conflate the two as if they're equally important and you can't value one without having to value the other.
That’s definitely something different and you appear to be correct:

That’s the theory; in practice hardly anyone does IQ tests, while employers asking for GPA is an extremely common occurrence. What matters for them is not what is legal, but how likely something is going to cause you legal problems.
Not quite, COM yes, although it is masochistic to do so without any higher level help.

UWP on the other hand extends COM to support inheritance and value types across calls, and the lowest Microsoft was willing to go on their high performance components was the Windows Runtime C++ Template Library, now replaced by C++/WinRT bindings and updated MIDL compiler.
I read about some years ago, that due to grade inflation, kids in high school are pressured to distinguish themselves further through more extracurriculars, volunteer work, even internships.

And you are right, the population is growing, but the number of prestigious universities has not, furthering the competitiveness. There aren't opening new Harvards.
Somehow none of this actually makes sense to me.
> 7k break lease fee (How much are you paying for rent exactly).
> At such high rent how are you still so far away from the city? It's just you. Did you rent a mansion or something?
> You're too broke to take uber

Personally I think you need financial guidance more than anything else. I don't think you're in tune with your reality.
Bitcoin may not be private but there are currencies like Zcash and Monero that are untraceable.
”Wilson found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane would compress the water molecules travelling through the pore by 3 percent”

So, it changes the distances between the atoms of a water molecule? If so, would that mean this can affect chemical reactions involving dipoles, too?
Just searching for "marshmallow" on the Yegge-dex found it: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/06/that-old-marshmallow...

And now that you mentioned it, I remember reading it years ago too. Really good one.
Yeah, same here - as much as it pains me to admit it, I'm pretty impressed when I see that somebody graduated from MIT or CMU. And, honestly, when I've worked with people who did graduate from "top" schools, they were smarter than I was/am (but on the plus side, I got to learn a lot from them). On the plus side, there aren't that many of them, and there are lots of jobs for the rest of us.
>"Well, the hypothesis was tested on data... that data being drugs to reduce amyloid plaques, which have only recently been found to not work to ameliorate Alzheimer's."

Right now I'm not even interested in how accurate the amyloid hypothesis turns out to be[1], but as you say its only recently the the hypothesis been tested. Sure, maybe it is just hard to test it, etc.

But, why did people find it "unthinkable" to consider the hypothesis was incorrect before it was ever really tested? I feel like there is a really good example of philosophy/sociology of science fail to learn from here.

The problem I'm interested in isnt with the hypothesis itself, its with the seemingly unwarranted very strong belief in the hypothesis amongst the "experts".

[1] When I first learned amyloids are one of the most thermodynamically favorable states of polypeptides and the cell must devote constant resources to preventing their formation, I pretty much gave 99/1 odds amyloids are a symptom instead of cause.

I'm pretty sure this is strongly enforced, and it's unfair that the article doesn't highlight this.
I'm trying to understand the first part of your argument... it sounds like you are saying that it is much easier to understand people's emotions face to face, even too easy, but this is exactly what the parent comment was claiming with the term "affective empathy" (although it's worth discussing the difference between cognitive and affective empathy).

> They either latch onto a specific point (irony) or a key phrase that doesn't jive appropriately with their perspective, and that constructs the direction of the discussion.

This is a good way of putting it. If you are trying to make some kind of point or to say something, then you don't want me to mechanically react to some word you used or a particular choice of phrasing or example. What you do want is for me to:

1. Understand what you are trying to communicate, what you had in mind rather than the particulars of how you express it, and

2. React appropriately.

This is not too far from a textbook definition of "affective empathy".

I'm sorry to hear that you feel you are manipulated in face-to-face discussions. For a long time I tried to maintain a neutral affect to avoid similar kinds of things. These days I consider a consistently neutral affect in the face of changing internal emotional states to be more of a liability and an unhealthy habit than anything else. The reason that we express our emotions so strongly in our body language is because our ancestors that did so were more likely to survive than our ancestors that didn't, in spite of the fact that this made them easier to manipulate. The fact that you feel like this makes you vulnerable to manipulation may either be a completely rational response to an unhealthy environment or a maladaptive response to a normal environment.

Do you know a way to crop a PDF? Basically, if I have a PDF of a single letter-size page with a 6x9 label on it, and I'd like to crop it down to that 6x9 label only, is there a way to do this? I've been looking into this with, for instance, the poppler library, and haven't found anything.

For anyone wondering what CMT stands for, it is Clustered Multi Threading which was used before Zen. Evidently it wasn't as effective as SMT. I wasn't aware but this link has a brief explanation. (https://www.quora.com/How-are-physical-cores-in-AMD-better-t...)
They seem to (still) be headquartered in Germany, so they may carry the same weight in Europe as RH does in the US.
We had a bike rental system launch in Cardiff very recently, run by NextBike. It has been a massive success, and fills a pretty gaping hole in our city's transportation. Cardiff is basically entirely flat, and has a few separate parts (like Cardiff Bay) which are a not-inconsiderable walk away, as well as a strangely awkward train journey. It's a city pretty well known for being easy to walk everywhere, but the bikes have made it so much simpler.

I signed up as an early adopter because 2 of the first 5 stations they installed essentially cut a 30 minute walk to the central train station into a 7 minute cycle. Cardiff was apparently NextBike's most successful UK city on the May bank holiday weekend. The bikes are largely well maintained and nobody seems to have vandalised them so far from what I've seen. Our cycle lanes are designed by blithering imbeciles, but that's pretty standard for the UK.

The ones here have docks, though they're in sensible places. I have seen a dockless system in Oxford and that also seemed to work well, mostly because of the sheer number of bikes around.

I know why the schemes are successful in Europe, but I can understand why people would be skeptical about their success in the US.
