There's more to Content Snare than just blasting your clients with reminders. One of the most important parts is making it easy for clients to provide content. You can do that by providing structure and visual references.

That way it's easier for them to understand what they need to provide.

When they understand what needs to be done, it often gets done.

We've found that's the big difference between the people Content Snare works for and ones it doesn't. The ones that take the time to lay it out properly and provide instructions get content faster. The ones that sign up, put in a couple of pages and let it blast their clients never get anywhere.

This is why I'm in the process of creating a bunch of templates that lay out copywriting instructions and wireframes... to get people started down the right path faster

Not doubting your experience at all, but my SO feels more comfortable on public transit than on an Uber/Lyft, where she feels like she has no control over what the driver chooses to do.

She also avoids the last hour of transit.

It's part of their distribution strategy. I'd generally send 500 units to their warehouses a week. When you're dealing with quantities that large they have you split it up to several shipments to different warehouses throughout the country.

Usually it would be many small quantities near me, and then one large one to the other coast which they would then distribute amongst their warehouses on that coast themselves.

So as the number of vendors stocking inventory increases, the cost to amazon to distribute inventory widely enough to hit SLAs goes down because more of the cost is borne by the vendors.

What? Tasmanian devil population was robust until 1840 when a bounty was introduced because of a mistaken belief that they hunted livestock. The hunting for bounty and outright culling almost made them
Extinct.

They only became protected after the last thylacine died.

Subsequent attempts to unprotect and poison them were by idiot farmer who kept deciding they killed livestock.

Anyway, the result of the near extinction caused by humans drastically reduced genetic diversity, which meant even though their numbers did increase they were highly susceptible to any disease, in this case it’s a transmissible disease. Since the 90s their population has dropped by 80%.

As far as thylacine goes - you claim it was introduction of dingoes thousands of years ago, and the there is evidence the aborigines has been present in Australia for at least 10000 years. Yet it wasn’t a hundred years of hunting by Europeans that it went extinct.
The causation seems much more to be on the head of humans (specifically Europeans, who have a huge documented history of exterminating animals in land that they migrate to - not to say only Europeans cause extinctions, just that the nature of our society means we have much more documentation of European history than of locations that weren’t well, in Europe)

Users have been frustrated and very vocal on the social media, there are clear areas where Niantic is pointed pitch forks at.

Yet I am not sure I would call that bad management, in that they kept the game running, core players are still there in decent numbers while casual players seem to be coming back in waves.

They can surely do better and the game is riddled with bugs, but no one is operating at that scale without significant issues, and they managed to not ruin the game while making impacting changes to the whole system for two years now.

I have my frustration with the games, but I genuinely think they made a very decent job.

Absolutely nothing! I just don't care for Jon Ives, he's pretentious and likes to demonstrate his superiority by using domain specific terms in casual conversation to impress the layman. When the iPhone 4<?> came out Jon Ives would talk about how exquisite the matte chamfered aluminum edges were as if it was an engineering miracle and he single-handedly invented the chamfer mill.

Don't get me wrong, I think his passion is wonderful and I enjoy listening to him talk about physical design in much the same way I enjoyed watching the movie Helvetica. But he's still a pretentious twat and my impression is that he doesn't care about design beyond it superficially meeting his immediate needs. Similar to how an artist might build an installation for an exhibition with no concern for it surviving beyond that, I don't think Jon Ives designs products with longevity in mind.
A person who enjoys attention, fame (whether it is fame or infamy), and the perks that go along with it. His antics certainly haven't had a negative effect on his finances and lifestyle from what I can tell.

The interesting thing is that statistically, the things that interrupt a developer occur at a predictable rate. What's not obvious, though, is that you can't predict the completion of a single task. You can predict the completion of a statistically significant collection of tasks. If someone is asking "How long will it take to do X", where X is a single task and is banking the company on the reply, they are a fool. But if you ask "How long will it take to do 30 x" and you have some data to show how long x usually takes, then you can actually give some good replies.

Even more interesting (and I was thinking about this only 5 minutes ago), there are models for defect discovery rates. This basically means that when we write code we make software errors. The amount of time it takes before we discover the error is a random variable with a particular distribution. There are several models which try to allow you to determine how long it will take before you find 90% of the errors, for instance. I was just thinking that I bet the model for errors in requirements is probably very similar to the model for software errors and you can probably fairly easily model how long it will take you before you discover 90% of the remaining functionality that you need after you make the initial plan. Indeed, I've measured in a few groups I've worked on that for those groups they needed another 30% of the overall project time to complete tasks that were not anticipated at the start. Unfortunately I no longer have access to that data so I can' look at it in more detail.

(NB: 30% was just for those teams and those projects -- I don't for a second believe that the number is universal. The fact that it was similar for a few teams is probably coincidental.)
It’s important to keep in mind that Important Famous People are actually just human beings, who lead real lives and have friends. There are not necessarily enough Important Famous People lying around to comprise their entire set of friends.

The world is big, and climbing is a very small part of it. The most famous climber (to other climbers) is just another guy in the supermarket line if you don’t follow climbing.

I’ve climbed a long time and have a handful of friends who I had “heard of” before meeting them. I admit it was strange at first but they always turn out to be real people with normal boring lives. I imagine its pretty tough making friends if you’re in that weird class of “super famous in this tiny niche” that climbers (and computer programmers) can find themselves in.

So I guess don’t be surprised to find that somebody here knows another rock climber. There aren’t really all that many of us!
I don't think you really understand what "circulating supply" means. It doesn't measure how much is actually changing hands, it just measures how much theoretically could. And even at that, it's very vulnerable to manipulation.

> any breach of GDPR means EU

Replace EU by "the data/privacy regulator of the country in question"
This. I worked with an end-to-end encrypted communications company for 5 years, and learned a vast amount more about crypto, attack vectors, and security holes than I did in the previous decade or two, but I would never claim to be a security or crypto expert, or even competent at it.

In fact, I almost certainly know only a tiny fraction of what the actual experts in that company knew, but a number of people have told me that I know a lot more about it than the average developer.

That scares me, and if people flame someone for recommending that a dedicated security expert be hired by companies that handle sensitive data, I can only conclude it is out of ignorance - of what's out there, and what's possible.

On the other hand, there are economic realities to consider, especially in early-stage, underfunded startups. What do they do about this?

Slightly off-topic, but if you're in the building phase, I HIGHLY recommend setting up a placeholder website and putting up some content and getting some backlinks.

If you have 12+ months of content and backlinks, you will have a much better foundation for getting organic traffic once you do launch.
Well, of course complex and specific stuff will require more boilerplate, but if you just need a basic CRUD on a model – just define a view set and you're done, URLs and methods will be created automatically.

Yeah, I’m willing to bet the people that think this is easy and clear are not trying to implement it.

Getting from $1k to $10k/month is much easier. You have momentum, traffic, and some authority.

> What is a reasonable mean?

Be reasonable! Just as even interpreted software must eventually appeal to hardware actions to give them meaning, laws must eventually appeal to human-judged concepts, including reasonabless.

A definition like the one above actually strikes a good balance. It leaves it up to courts faced with real situations to evolve rules about what constitutes "reasonable"; while giving those courts a definite thing to judge the reasonableness of.
Dude, you need to work on your tone. I'm all for having a discussion on this, but when you get personal and hostile with stuff like "What planet do you live on?" and "You seem to be confused about blah blah blah", nobody's going to bother with you.

Birth certificates. Creditworthiness.

At the age of 54, Sigmund Arywitz was a healthy American success story. He was making $30,000 a year as executive secretary and treasurer of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, his family was sound, his reputation high on all counts, and he had just finished eight prestigious years in Sacramento as state labor commissioner under Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown. But something was awry. In the space of one year, five Los Angeles department stores refused Sig Arywitz charge accounts, and a major car-leasing company turned him down for credit -- even though he had a walletful of oil-company and other credit cards and had always paid his bills on time....

In other words, most likely the following is totally wrong armchair physicist speculation. :) If there are any experts (=physicists) around, I'd love to know why it's wrong.

What if mass doesn't even distort spacetime, but only "slows" down time locally.

Maybe there's a some sort of "quantum progression" limit per volume of space.

You'd get gravity out of local time slowdown, because of gradient effects. The object under influence of gravity would experience time slightly slower on the side that is closer to a gravity well. This should cause acceleration towards the larger mass.

Gravity's inverse square law could be a result of this local effect depending somehow on wavelength. Longer wavelengths would affect objects further away.

Perhaps you could derive theory of relativity out of a local quantum progression limit.
How is a regular person supposed to even know if their data was in this particular leak?
The European Court of Justice has the final say. As far as I know the local(supreme) courts ask the ECJ for an opinion if they think their local law could be incompatible the the EU law. The EU laws such GDRP must be transposed by the menber states but they may have slight variations(i.e. the amount of fines)
Congrats on being a quickly progressing climber. I met woman climbs 100+ days per year and has been doing so for 8 years, and she's in the moderates (10a-10c's). I also met a guy who's been climbing 6 months leading 11b outdoors. Everything I've about grades says that climbing 12 and above is rarefied territory for most people: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/106352022/number... though there are outliers. Chris Sharma was climbing for a year before he was doing the hardest sport routes in the world, but that isn't most people.
If Pokemon Go was mismanagement or failure (though you didn't say it), I don't know what a success is. No one, including Niantic, could have predicted how massively popular it would be in such a short time, so they had scaling problems among others things. Its still the most popular and profitable mobile games out there.
If it's like most gyms the grades are very soft. 5.12 maybe a 5.10a outdoors.
I think you're missing the point. It's not about security, it's about data.
Depends where you live. Here in France, 5.12 is a pretty normal range to be operating in as a reasonably fit, motivated climber. On the crags here, 6th grade (sub-5.11d) sport routes are generally considered warm ups by regular climber folk.

I remember Colorado feeling similar. And Spain being the same, but with the level set to 5.13 In the Basque Country.

Here in Fontainebleau, it’s rare to see a group of road tripping euros rock up who aren’t all projecting at least 7a (V6).

I’ve also lived in Trad communities in the states where 5.10 is something you work up to over years of never falling, so I understand where you’re coming from and how it could seem strange to encounter the Other World where 5.12 is No Big Deal for the first time.
I had a similar idea a few years back. One could use PGP as key distribution mechanism and if there is wide adoption of such an app, from one day to the next Facebook would go blind.

If you are curious about Dwarf Fortress and want to understand the attraction without necessarily grinding through learning how to play the game, I highly recommend watching some of the play throughs on Youtube by Kruggsmash: https://www.youtube.com/user/kruggsmash/playlists

He is currently illustrating his adventures and it is nothing short of amazing. It's hard to know where to suggest starting, but basically he began his current story telling and illustration technique in Steelclutches Part 2. That's actually adventure mode, though, so it might not be the best place to start. The current series, Monster Killer, is stand-alone so you could probably start there.

However, one particular special episode it worth watching, which is the first Holiday special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiy8zCvD_1U&t=3s

The standard is not 'dynamic' - it leaves a lot up to the implementations.

The CL standard is describing more 'static' options than usual for Lisp. Lexical binding is more static than Dynamic Binding. Macros are more static than Fexprs. A file compiler is more static than an interpreter.

Common Lisp was already designed with support for higher-performance implementations on stock hardware.

Python is not a 'language' - but for most people it is the combination of a language and its implementation. In this Python one of the main (THE main?) ways to get better performance is to write the code in C.

Not so Common Lisp - it is a language and a bunch of more or less conforming implementations. There the first and most important way to get better performance always has been to use an optimizing to-C or a to-Machine-Code compiler, code hints and compiler switches (SPEED, SAFETY, DEBUG, ...).

For example the developers of a large CAD system written mostly in Lisp (iCAD, PTC, ...) did not compete with Python at that time, but with C++ based CAD systems. Having a dynamic CLOS implementation is then often a burden: how many objects can be created per second? How many generic function calls are possible per second?

For example LispWorks allows the slot-value function to call a generic function slot-value-using-class. This is slow. Thus by default it is shut off.

Clozure CL has I/O functions over streams. By default streams are not CLOS objects / functions. One can get them as CLOS objects, but one has to do that.

There are many other examples where the implementation provides a dynamic version and a more static version.

The typical example in Common Lisp, the language itself: structures and CLOS classes.

Structures are efficiently compiled with inline access, no slot information, no updates on structure changes, efficient access into the slot (-> no multiple inheritance with changing slot otder).

CLOS classes OTOH are the opposite. More dyanamic, especially in an implementation with the Meta-object Protocol supported.

Whenever you decide to use structures in your program, then you choose 'static & fast'. When you choose CLOS classes then you choose: runtime dynamism and generally slower.

The standard itself does not talk about a specific implementation - the implementations in use and the needs of the developer for their application delivery determines then how 'static' the implementation can be or needs to be.

In TensorFlow, a vector (or a tensor) is also one of the fundamental datatypes.

> The end result is that it's trivial (at least in theory) to go from a TensorFlow implementation to a MATLAB implementation. But it's very difficult to go the other direction.

I would say just the opposite. From Matlab to TF should be trivial, but the other way not so much. Or can you give me an example in Matlab which would be hard to translate to TF?

I can give you one in TF which would be very hard in Matlab: E.g. how to implement async SGD, with a parameter server and all that logic?
> If your application takes longer than 10 minutes to complete, you are missing out on 50% of qualified job applicants.

Surely it’s more like: the longer the application process, the more desperate the candidates will need to be to complete it. Desperate because they can’t get other jobs, because they’re not strong candidates.

So having a long application process is like “I wish to filter candidates to get only the worst candidates”.

Only a foolish company would do that. (Of which there are many.)
That is what would be needed in the United States of Anarchy, but everyone is so busy trying to pull off their own scandle that I don’t think this could be done at an effective scale.

But what happens when everyone in your lineage is dependent on organ donation or more generally lifelong drug dependance? Is that alright or should we act when it's preventable (genetic counseling etc)?

Also what is misinformed? Are you living without treatment? Do you indeed carry any risk for offspring or are you in the slight share of patients who got acute renal failure thanks to some bacterial infection? Since you didn't address it and the odds are not in favor, I don't have much doubt on the answer.

The single monetary policy hasn't prevented most countries from having growth. The solution is price deflation, which is not as "good" (for variable amounts of good) as inflating your currency, but it works.
