Try adding interpolations to your example to make sense of this.

console.log`foo${123}baz`

You get an array so that you later can interleaf the parts with the interpolations you get as additional arguments.
I have a Vicuna scarf and I have to say it's a luxury item I was very happy to purchase.

The scarf itself looks and feels amazing. But best of all, every item made of vicuna wool is numbered and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, that grants that the wool has been gathered in a respectful and sustainable manner.

Some may feel sad that conservation is promoted this way, but considering how the production of some luxury goods has a devastating impact on the environment, this seems like a better approach.

By the way, if Vicuna is too expensive for you, but still want a sustainable luxury item, look for Guanaco wool items.

> Have you ever seen $300MM worth of wood?

Well, I'm not sure about wood, indeed, but I guess specials species can cost a lot. But I definitely saw $300MM of metal in a single stocking rack, not even speaking in terms of machines and buildings.

> I specifically said the owner had pumped a huge amount of money in the company.

Yes, I read that but I put it apart a bit too quickly, apologies. I would love to be pointed to real cases where huge amount of cash were invested in finished-good producing plants with no sales whatsoever. Off the top of my head I can think that Tesla's industrial activity can come close to the description for the investment story, however they do sell - their problem is more of meeting the production target.

I've seen with my eyes plants coming out of nowhere [0] with banks backed cash, but they definitely had customers commands already passed.

I imagine if they had to honor, they would make it priority number one resolving those bugs, and make changes to make the bugs more apparent to people in the process. If they don't have to pay, there isn't much of an incentive to prioritize the fixes, especially since I imagine if the bugs are in the favor of the company they can make a lot of money.
So was the original Google Analytics, back when it was still called Urchin.

Thanks interesting. In my naive way of thinking about this I think people will just open the webpage, allow access to the camera and smile for at least 4 seconds.

It's not necessarily security through obscurity. It's more of a privacy thing and prevents companies from mining bug reports for information about what types of software competitors are working on. Bug reports also contain code and projects that help Apple find the cause of a bug.
You will not.

Ticketmaster has exclusivity contracts with venues. You cannot bypass them unless the venue and ticketmaster want you to. The very nature of the exclusivity contract prevents your startup idea. Unless they are also scalpers in good graces with ticketmaster, there's no tickets for them in the first place.
How Security Center and Log Analytics Can Be Used for Threat Hunting
That is a pretty butchered headline. Bitcoin isn't being targeted, unprotected computers are. Once Eternal Blue is used, the compromised computer is by and large used to mine Monero - not Bitcoin. This is because a CPU or GPU mining XMR is going to earn more money (no matter how you denominate it) than it would mining BTC or BCH.
>Would you say the same about the US constitution?

Yes and no.

On the goal of establishing the system and structure of a body of government it sits at the top of, I think it was well drafted.

But something like commas in 2A, "unreasonable searches" in the 4A, or the commerce clause, not so much. (Although, from a historical article I vaguely recall, the issue was that they weren't unable actually able to settle on the core intent of 4A in the first place and compromised between the "reasonable" and "warrants always required" camps.)

>It was designed to be updated and changed, rather than be written in stone. To you, is that the same as saying that it's "poorly drafted" and they knew it?

No. Even if they were able to perfectly capture their intent at the time, the ability to change law when their intent changed would be desirable.

The more interesting criticism along those lines is saying that judicial review is the sign it's poorly drafted. Either they didn't intend on judicial review and flubbed exceptionally hard, or they did intend on judicial review and knew that the document would need regular clarification for the rest of its existence. And from there you could argue that it's the worst written document ever, because they expected the courts to keep revisiting it's meaning.
My first consulting gig was mostly born out of necessity. At that time (2011), I was one of the founders of a startup, whose product was an enterprise / intranet search engine.

As is common with enterprise products sales was hard. Not being Microsoft, IBM or any other of the big names in the industry didn't exactly help either. Suffice it to say, the company didn't do too well.

However, trying to sell an enterprise product came with the benefit of making a lot of new contacts, many of whom needed bespoke software development and consulting (rather than a turnkey enterprise search solution).

Hence, I quickly transitioned into the IT consulting business.

In more generally applicable terms, networking and becoming known for an area of expertise in my opinion is absolutely key for continued, sustainable success as a freelancer / consultant.

So, here for some more general pieces of advice:

Go to events / meetups. Talk to both people from the industry you market your services to and fellow entrepreneurs and engineers. When doing this continuously and consistently consulting gigs almost inevitably will come up.

Create a professional website that describes the services you provide and the value you create for your clients. This is essential. Don't just put up a CV and be done with that. If you want to stand out you have to explain why you're not just a commodity paid by the hour but how you can solve a problem for your clients.

On that website, write about your current work and your area of expertise in general. If such opportunity presents itself (which it also almost inevitably will once you start networking with others at meetups or other events) give talks about these subjects.
The best part is they did use humans, this bet was placed in person.

Ava is the film’s true protagonist.

I thought this review in feministing was on point: http://feministing.com/2015/05/28/goddess-from-the-machine-a...
The gist: I wouldn’t try to sell SaaS/software to individuals.

My business-oriented startups have been successful. My consumer-oriented one wasn’t (at least as a business), because I thought that people would be willing to pay some amount to save time or get more done. Turns out that even if a user states that an app saves them hours per month, the vast, vast majority won’t spend any amount of their own money for it.

The product got users - some who used it hundreds of times per month - but even among those who said they loved it, they used it constantly, and it saved them hours, very few would pay even ~$35/year.

People are fairly good at valuing other people’s time (as businesses do every day). People are unbelievably awful at valuing their (our!) own time. That’s not anyone’s fault, it’s human nature.

This only comes out as a revealed preference, that is, by asking a happy active user to pay, not asking whether they would pay.

Almost every “consumer” company actually makes most of their revenue from businesses. The exceptions that don’t have millions of free users - like 1Password when it was licensed software and FastMail in its early days - are exactly that: exceptions. Most remain fairly small until or unless they start serving businesses too.

Asking individuals to spend their own money on a software/Web product (rather than a physical object or music/video content) is next to impossible and I wouldn’t do that again. Sell to businesses or find another revenue stream.
Well put.

Finance has seen its fair share of this. As an example, I was ashamed to see the difference in reactions between when it was Knight Capital [0] vs Goldman Sachs [1].

For Knight Capital, the entire company floundered after a trading glitch, and they closed shortly after.

When it was Goldman who suffered a glitch, many of their trades "qualified for cancellation". Co-author of the Black Scholes formula even spoke up against this hypocrisy.

Both companies lobbied to the exchanges and the SEC, but one had more capital. If this is any indicator, a company like FanDuel may be let off.

> How could strength be proportional to cross sectional area rather than volume of the muscle?

The same reason that's true of strength of passive members; the limiting factor is the force that will cause shearing, which is basically the strength of one bond in the lengthwise direction times the number of them supporting in parallel in the cross section. So, given the same material, cross sectional area determines strength.

Is Ruby on Rails really a candidate for bare minimum? Part of the reason I backed off was the enormity of Rails. Part of why I'm doing this is to understand what's going on under the covers and Rails feels like it has a broader and more opaque cover than most other options.
> Things like weekends and holidays are, in some cases, the only thing that let people who do certain types of work have any time off work to begin with.

Unless you're in retail or service (your primary example); then you don't get the weekends and holidays; nay you have less control of your schedule on weekends and holidays.

Choosing your weekends is also contrare, because as the other commentary goes, and a lot of psychology, your time off is best spent with other people.
The GP is factually wrong, this isn't "semantics". Your comment moves the goalpost to "well the aerodynamics help". This is true: The slipstream moves at the speed of the car ahead, so it's like she has no headwind slowing her down. She still needs to accelerate 84 MPH (on top of maintaining 100 MPH). Think of doing this on a gym bike where you don't have headwind either. This is very much an athletic feat.

It's also an engineering feat, but again TFA: "As they targeted the overall record, their team revamped the same dragster that was used to set the men's record" -- they're reusing last time's engineering.
I feel like we need the Second Software Crisis movement to address the bug riddled software were still making, it’s as though we’re just acclimated to bugs everywhere as being expected. Perhaps in 2100 they’ll look back on this time in software as we do on the early automotive industry today.

Freakonomics did a great deep dive [0] into the complexity of ticket markets. The short of it is that incentives are mixed and spread through the following parties: sellers, venues, promoters, artists, and fans.

Artists don’t want to look like they gouge their fans.

Promoters take a cut and need to hit volume milestones.

Fans want access, and are willing to pay extra.

Upfront, I normally am not for legislation. However one thing that's been on my mind lately has been the lag between work and getting paid for that work. Even for regular employees. The days of being paid 1x / 2x per month, IMO, stem from when we had to cut a corporate check to pay someone. A check sometimes meant two signatures required. This was massive overhead and thus we wanted to batch them and do them as infrequently as possible.

Today payments are easily automated and extremely inexpensive.
I see little reason one couldnt be paid at the end of a work day or even more continuously such as per calendar day or what have you (ie there are ~22 work days per month, but ~30 calendar days) ... I could see a good pro labour legislation being to get paid daily for companies with automatic deposit or over size X.

Things like payday loans wouldnt make as much sense if you've already been paid 14/15ths of your pay up to that point and you're going to get the last 1/15th within 24 hours.

Edit: Something like this: https://www.uber.com/info/instant-pay/ but automated and for everyone.
That's because the terms (ignoring conflicting laws for a minute) choose FanDuel as the arbiter.

Tickets are associated to a name at purchase; you are then required to provide corresponding ID upon admission at the event. Very similar to non-refundable airline tickets (which was designed to kill the secondary market for airline tickets [1]). If you cannot attend, your ticket expires worthless.

Totally different issues. Making a bad sale and then later backing out, vs advertising a price that is not able to be confirmed at the time of sale resulting in no sale.
>It's within their power to improve their automated system to not offer stupid bets

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen one of these. It's like the olden days with Urchin (what eventually become Google Analytics). They analyzed log files prior to the Google acquisition. IIRC you could buy whatever the current version was (e.g., Urchin 2) for a flat fee and use it forever. There were free alternatives, but I liked Urchin's UI and features the best at the time.

Anyone remember what the price was? I want to say it was something like $60-$100, but my memory could be conflating it with something else.
I don't think it's abuse, but rather a very appropriate use of ES6 template string functions. I think the point is that you can do:

> const kid = sq.from`person`.where`age < ${kids_age}`

and it will be safe from SQL injection, because `where` is probably defined something like:

function where(strings, ...interpolations) {
var result = "";
for (var i = 0; i < interpolations.length; i++) {
result += strings[i] + this.sql_quote(interpolations[i]);
}
result += strings[interpolations.length];
return this.add_to_query(result);
}

Have you considered using a shared-source license where they can inspect and build from source that they have to pay for? And where people can obtain the source freely for academic research and/or security reviews?

Shared-source proprietary goes as far back as Burroughs B5000 mainframe whose customers got the source and could send in fixes/updates. Microsoft has a Shared Source program. Quite a few suppliers in embedded do it. There's also a company that sells UI software which gives the source to customers buying higher-priced version.

I will warn that people might still rip off and use your code. Given it's JavaScript, I think they can do that anyway with reverse engineering. It also sounds like they could build it themselves anyway. Like most software bootstrappers or startups, you're already in a race with other players that might copy you with clean slate implementations. So, I don't know if the risk is that big a deal or not. I figured I should mention it for fairness.
> QA usually needs someone strong to protect the team, as they’re the ones who most frequently get asked to make up for cost/scope/schedule/quality problems that others caused

Bingo. That combined with the odd guy from a completely different department coming over and singling me out for help (at the time, we were the team pushing the envelope with what was possible on the web).

That being said, (a) Margaret always offered our team's help to other teams, and we frequently spent large blocks of time assisting with outside projects. But there was so much demand for us that she had to insist they go through her first; and (b) of course we could answer people's questions and assist them for a few minutes here and there. I'm talking about requests like "hey could you do this work for me", where it ends up taking several hours or more.

My point, though, was that she protected us from outside demands so we could stay really productive.

That article mentions Barney Curley, I'd recommend his book giving a little back. In it he documents a coup he pulled off against the bookies on a horse running at a small English course Cartmel in the 70s iirc. The key point was that there was just one telephone at the course.
Most bets are settled at SP which is the on-course starting price. If the big chains are getting a lot of money on a horse they'll get their agents to put money on that horse at the course to bring the price down and reduce their liability. On that day Curley's people put a fortune of money on before they bookies realised there was something up. They hid it by betting in doubles where there's less scrutiny but then they pulled the other horses out of races which had the effect of converting those bets into singles.
The routine would be for the on-course agent to phone head office to see what they had to do. On that day, Curley had a burly crony hogging the phonebox as he tried to keep up with the health of his aunt who'd been taken ill. No one was able to shift him until the race went off.
