"The reason why your advice is not as useful as you think is because chances are, if you google around, most of that lesson would be already out there. Don't take this the wrong way I mean no offense. I'm sure you've learned a lot of lessons and I'm sure they're all valuable lessons, just saying most of what I read online nowadays are basically rehash of what these failed entrepreneurs heard from someone else, who probably heard it from some other successful person."

I don't take offense, but you're wrong. You have no idea what kind of advice or knowledge I have, but you're jumping to the conclusion that you've heard it all before.

This thread is extremely off-topic, and it feels silly to try to convince someone to listen to other people, so this will be my last post. Good luck.
In New Zealand, I sometimes receive prescription medication in a generic box full of blister packs, where the last blister pack has been cut down to match the prescribed number of doses.
Occasionally I'll get a couple of cut down sheets, presumably using up the leftovers from other people's prescriptions.

Challenging the Tech Companies from Within
As a former big wall climber I would add that articles like this forget to mention the difficulty factor. For some people a 5.10 is like walking on a sidewalk. People who would be killed by falling off a sidewalk or down a set of stairs (old people etc) rarely use harnesses. Risk is inversely related to skill and ability.

At least a rock climber's fate is largely in their control. The well-traveled Yosemite stuff isn't going to shift under you. Death zone, or ice climbers, are the real crazies. They role the dice. Skill and ability means nothing when the mountain decides to collapse underneath you. And such climbers tend to die in groups, their fate linked to whoever else is on the rope. Free soloists die alone.
Did you find their advice helpful? Could you tell ahead of time who was going to be more helpful than others?
Are generics really the same as branded drugs? (2013)
I would love to do that too. The problem is that you have to comply with the laws of whatever state/province/country on whose land you build the city, so you are often restricted in many ways - not least in understanding the regulations and working with the government to demonstrate compliance.

These guys https://www.seasteading.org/ are working towards building floating cities. In the short term, they want to figure out the technology part of it, but in the long term, they want to build cities in international waters and declare independence. Then you can do whatever you wanted to.
A college kid that has a fake id to buy booze with is guilty of a felony. Just because something is a felony rarely means it will be prosecuted as such. I'm sure in any case that doesn't result in actual harm the charges would be heavily reduced or dropped. Making it a misdemeanor almost by virtue makes it pretty much a joke, and it's actually a very serious issue.
At least that's something you can research, unlike now where you have no information.
You realize though that at least a Facebook has the same features, right?

In fact FB went much farther in that for example they let you go back 7 YEARS in a pages ad history and not just 7 days like Twitter does
That looks great for me at least! I'd been using B2 a bit personally, but had written off using it for any serious projects because of the inability to make extra restricted per-project(bucket) API keys.
astroturfers influencing public opinion.

For the most part, people don’t look to social media to find content that helps them form their opinions; they look to it to reinforce already held opinions. It's an echo chamber.

That means astroturfing may lead to more divisiveness, as people seek out content that makes them more sure than ever that their opinion is the one and only correct one. But it does not “influence public opinion” since nobody is jumping to the other side of an issue based on astroturfing. It just makes the world a more hostile place.
> The disadvantage is that there are some leftover pills most of the time. E.g. you need 30 pills and there are only units of 20 available.

This is the exact reason why they count pills. You have a prescription for X pills, you get X pills.

It's been a while since I've had a prescription filled, but I think that in New Zealand it's the same. Most prescription drugs like opiate painkillers or antibiotics are counted and bottled.
What Blockchain Can’t Do
I don’t think that his capacity to garner attention depends on his pushing the envelope. The thing that brought him to the widest audience was a segment for sixty minutes where they filmed him free soloing a 5.11 in Yosemite — certainly impressive but totally casual by his standards. Nowhere near the envelope. He pushes the envelope for himself because he wants to — the public has no idea the difference in difficulty between the sixty minutes piece and the “envelope”.
It is important to split mass transit from public transit. I ride mass transit everyday but am vilified for it since it is private.
Adidas Suffered Data Breach, Customers Data Impacted
In recent years, during wildfires in Colorado many homes have been saved by private firefighters because the owners had paid premiums to certain private insurance companies, which are determined to actively save assets not just pay for damages. Without these private efforts those houses would have been destroyed (we know this because the neighbors lost their homes and all their belongings when government officials told them to evacuate and they had no personal or private solution in place).

Do you recommend that the State stop homeowners from saving their houses or hiring people to save their houses if their actions involve the use of drones?

The government always resorts to banning or controlling new things. As a general rule, they're wrong; and their motivation is not the protection of your life, liberty, or property.

Do you have any formal guidelines of how to communicate when and which method? Or do you just figure it out organically?
It seems a bit bizarre to imply that individual citizens have the responsibility or even capability of meaningfully solving major public welfare or health issues. Surely no one would imply the same for, say, crime or disease epidemics.
You're absolutely right. For half a century the worlds nations have been spending tens of billions of dollars on a complete hoax. And all those satellite communication companies are actually using fiber optic cables and adding in a delay. And all those rocket launches that many millions of people have personally witnessed didn't go into space, instead they all crashed in a secret area down range. I'm surprised that such a massive hoax could go on so long with no one discovering it before you.
Cool product, looks like it solves an annoying problem for agencies!
I think you missed my point. Companies I've seen don't care if you have fundamental knowledge of algorithms and data structures. They are testing you on specific frameworks via interview questions and take home projects. They are looking for industry experts in certain frameworks. These companies seem to equate CS programs with vocational schools or bootcamps and are only looking for coders that already know certain frameworks. Your comment justifies what I already believe and understand, but I am pointing out some companies seem to value bootcamp-tier knowledge more than fundamental knowledge and discriminate against graduates that focused heavily in theory but little in frameworks.
The train and tram stations in Dublin were covered in etoro crypto trading ads a while back, so I think it’s been and gone in Europe. And I believe it’s already had its day in China and Korea.

They can also seriously damage low-flying fixed-wing tankers, which is why tankers must leave the area immediately if a drone is sighted.
Unfortunately, one area where Python 3 is definitely slower is the startup time (specifically module importing). This can be very noticeable on embedded systems as I discovered after porting our codebase. The remaining language improvements still make this worth it though.
Alex has always been a bit... well, Alex. I'm not surprised that there is something different about his neural anatomy.

Case-in-point: many, many moons ago, he hobbled into the climbing gym with approximately 50% of his limbs interred in plaster casts. Apparently, he had some sort of skiing accident, and had broken... well, lots of things.

Including most of one of his hands -- only the last two fingers poked out.

He then proceeded to train and climb pretty much as normal, flashing routes that I never actually managed to complete. And he wasn't showing off, either. It was just a sort of normal day of training.

I can't imagine most... really, any other athlete I know doing anything like that.

He's just... Alex.
> Yeah, they could have resurrected it, but Microsoft had less to lose by destroying Nokia than it does by destroying Github.

I'm not sure that's true, since MS has already lost the developer space. Nokia was a play for revenue because MS's investment in Windows phone was in the billions already when MS bought Nokia, and that was back when people still actually liked Windows Phone.

It's possible that MS could have built a github clone, and that wouldn't have cost them $7.5B to build, but what MS really bought here is the brand, and the good will that comes with it. If github goes down the tubes, it will be like hotmail / nokia... etc.
I think a lot of this is a red herring. If you are gathering the IP address under the contract lawful basis, then it doesn't matter if it's personally identifying or not. Where it get's tricky is when you are not gathering the IP address under contract lawful basis.

The tricky thing about GDPR is choosing the correct lawful basis. I think people reach for the legitimate interest card too quickly because they see it as a "get out of jail free" card. But then it ends up complicating things enormously -- especially since legitimate interest can be objected to. I've seen people agonising in public about what to do because the personally identifying information is necessary to provide the service they are offering. If you're in the situation where if someone objects to the use of their data, then it breaks the whole service -- well you're in contract lawful basis territory.

IP addresses are potentially complicated, though. I'm not sure what's supposed to happen when you receive personally identifying information from someone that you don't have a contract with. The law does seem to be vague on what constitutes a "contract", because in some cases it seems to imply something different than what contract law says (i.e. if there is no consideration, it seems I can still use contract lawful basis). In this situation, if I have a P2P network and I need your IP address to fulfil my side of the protocol, then I should be able to use it under contract basis. However, I'm unclear about the actual legality of it -- especially when the information is sent to you by an intermediate node.

To me, that's what needs to be cleared up. I expect it will be over a period of time. I don't think the law was written with that kind of stuff in mind. It's kind of interesting, though. I imagine it is a violation of the GDPR to track what individuals are downloading in bittorrent without giving them a legitimate interest notice, though (and allowing them to object! and be forgotten!). It will be interesting to see if anybody complains about that kind of thing.
The Floating Robot with an IBM Brain Is Headed to Space
Same here.

I'm currently working on a part of the site where it should be refactored, but I chose not to because I just want to get the functionality to work. Once its good, I'll find the similarities and then refactor.

I'm also an artist, musician, and an athlete. I see similarities with those things and coding. In order to improve, you have to go through the "fog". That is, go with a concept , get messy, and see it through.

In the "fog" I tend to second guess myself and feel I'll never get out of it. But in the end things tend to work itself out and I'm better for it. After 10 pictures drawing the same thing, the 11th one is almost always better. Same with coding. I find myself looking 3-4 steps ahead and eventually write better code because of it. All just from working on and seeing through projects.
I'm an EU citizen and I've hoped for something similar since the cookie "law". Maybe a callback that gets fired when the consent popup appears and then a browser extension could hook into that and automatically accept.

Edit: replied to an out of date tab, another poster commented the same idea.
I'm sure your drone is coordinated with Incident Command, which makes it not a threat to the aerial tankers.

Yes. Almost all of our nukes have some size/sort of RTG. What else do you want to know?
I’m inclined to agree about our over-zealousness to punish, except...

It’s already a felony to impede emergency rescue efforts. And rightfully so: it places lives directly at risk. It’s intuitively illegal, and intuitively grave. “Curiousity” wouldn’t be an excuse for getting in the way of normal firefighters with an RC car, would it?

Why is impeding emergency services any less serious because it happened via drone?
It's used when talking about the extended Church-Turing thesis [1]:

> "A probabilistic Turing machine can efficiently simulate any realistic model of computation." The word 'efficiently' here means up to polynomial-time reductions.

Real-world efficiency doesn't necessarily factor into what theoretical computer scientists are interested in.

I find it to be cleaner than having module M with struct t and functions M.create: () -> t, M.doStuff: t -> 'a. Which is what tends to happen. It just looks like immutable objects for slow learners...
That seems unlikely.

I think they're in Boston, but, even in New York, which, for office space is even more expensive than SF, the excuse that square footage is too expensive seems shaky, especially since it's been trotted out routinely over the past 3 decades.

This blog post shows a credible calculation, even assuming remarkably low salaries (and a fairly credible $5/sqft):

https://business.linkedin.com/talent-solutions/blog/hr/2016/...

The real key, though, is at the end:

> the calculation above doesn't count the cost of setting up the offices

For an early startup, that cost, both in dollars and, perhaps most importantly time (move-in delay), could easily be prohibitive.

Of course, once the company is past the early stage, it may just be habit or cargo cult.

I don't know why this dissenting opinion is being downvoted into oblivion.

I have no reason to trust the government or its judgement. So I don't know why people think this is necessarily great news. Now we'll have to get more green lights from .gov. And that is costly. And that is why business are tempted to leave CA.

Anyone have a link to the actual legislature?
As chriscappuccio also points out the last line ruins the article but more points out the person being quoted has no idea and is making stuff up

"Something like 1.5 percent of cases of art theft see the art recovered and the criminal prosecuted.”

Yet -

“There’s almost never been a criminal who knew about, or cared about, art.”

For starters, stealing art is often considered art. There are many stories of artists and art groups stealing art. For the sake of art and also political reasons. [1]

But if all these art criminals care so little, how are they all getting away with it so well?

I'd image people who have a success rate of stealing cars that high would care about and know a lot about cars.

As one of those who got stuck into Ingress in its early days, I'm always happy to see Niantic pushing forward.

The only issue is they always seem to be a step ahead of themselves, in terms of their ideas being just a little too far ahead of the technology.

It will be interesting to see how truly real-world AR shapes the world when it becomes widespread. I'm sure that some day anthropologists will look back on this era with fascination, at how both society and individual human development/behaviour were shaped by technology, in terms of things like the way that access to information and exposure to 'realities' not restricted to the real laws of physics shape development.
And in some countries that agency employs a dozen to two dozen people total. In other words, it's entirely possible to get screwed because somebody doesn't like you.

Does anyone else get weird amazon recruiter emails like the below?
Dear

You and I haven’t met but it looks like you have interviewed with Amazon in the past for a Technical Product Manager position or PMT as it’s known here. I am a Recruiter for the Outbound EC2 PMT team. We work with companies who are working on the VMware, SAP, IBM, Windows and other infrastructures. We have a couple of different roles with a focus on compute and networking services from EC2, Elastic Container Service and Lambda, to Virtual Private Cloud, Direct Connect and PrivateLink. Enterprises can migrate any workload to the cloud with a range of configurable, resource-optimized instance types, Batch computing, Elastic Load Balancing and Autoscaling.

But, you probably already know this given your current role……You would serve as a senior member of the Compute services product management team and own the B2B positioning, messaging and go to market strategy for one or more solutions for targeted categories, industries or workloads. You will package capabilities, content and pricing to address key use cases, with particular focus on driving growth of workloads such as machine/deep learning, big data analytics, graphics, or gaming. You will get to work in Compute services, a large-scale business that most AWS customers use, and have a big impact every day.

I hope that I have piqued your curiosity and that you would be interested in talking further about this position or other positions on the EC2 team. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks in advance,
From TFA: "...could potentially become a federal crime"

"Felony" does not equal "Federal Crime" and state lawmakers do not have the power to make anything a federal crime.

Update: Above is correct, but article implied it is Colorado state lawmakers proposing this. In fact it is Colorado's federal congresspeople proposing it, and they are indeed proposing that it be a federal felony.
> by marketing to the same customers better or noticing who is being left out.

Noticing who is being left out would be a start-up’s marketing strategy that can be sniped by the incumbent.

I agree with the overall sentiments however.

Yeah, this is straight up illegal in my country (Australia) - to call yourself a ‘bank’ referring to financial services you need to be a licensed Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) with our prudential regulator (APRA). This requires going through a compliance program that would probably take longer than a year, having $50 million (!) of paid up capital, etc.

Just a few months ago they did bring in a new restricted ADI licensing scheme though where you can start with only $3 million and get started quicker but there are a bunch of restrictions.

I’d argue it’s more serious as there’s less skin in the game for the perpetrator.

I think a lot of developers forget, perhaps due to their current annual salary and due to high costs of living, that a geography-independent $1K a month is nothing to sneeze at.

For example, rent in Michigan for a three bedroom apartment is about $1,200 a month [1], meaning your rent would be $400. Let’s say you spend $200 a month on groceries, and spend $400 a month on insurance, gas, bills, and other mandatory expenses.

Congratulations: you’re short term net financial neutral!

In theory, as long as your acquisition rate is neutral or positive compared to churn, you now live for free, without a boss and without an expectation of a 40 hour workweek. In theory, you can now retire. In practice, you can grow revenue, and nothing’s stopping you from starting business two and increasing your “retirement’s” margin.

For the right person, these conditions are life-changing.
