Funny, I’ve read all of Hemingway’s novels and the one I was explicitly thinking of was For Whom the Bell Tolls. Yes, that “feeling” was the one I was referring to.

I’ll try to check out that Korean American author too. I just finished “pachinko” by Min Jin Lee, another Korean American author. Definitely _not_ magical realism but a lot of enui.
I assume that still incurs a visa fee. Perhaps just bypasses the underwriting. Otherwise, I can't imagine visa would allow this.

Bad trend when limitations of pre-programmed cars become apparent; treat the humans as the bugs.

Frankly, it didn't change my opinion at all. As far as I can tell, Uber is a train wreck of a company. When I first read the story I was kind of surprised, until I found out it was an Uber car.
And humans have the unique ability to instantly and reliably differentiate between visual noise and objects on the road they wish to avoid.

Lidar's record much less information than than 2 optical lenses (eyes). You got distance in 1, 2, or 2+1 dimensions, and intensity. Eyes can detect distance, wavelength, reflections, refraction, contrast, brightness etc. All with the assistance of the brain of course. If today's computers and software had the pattern matching capabilities of even a human child's brain (reasoning aside), a few moderate resolution video cameras would be all that is necessary for self driving.

But we're not there yet so we employ sensors with limited detection that is simpler to interpret programmatically.

I think even humans would have trouble interpreting the mess of lidar distance graphs in a rain/snow storm, though they'd still do better than current computers.
This is a serious issue, especially for small merchants dealing with digital products. A chargeback is too much work to fight and rarely in favor of the merchant.
Originally they only had permission to have the video on YouTube for a year.

When word got out that it would have to be taken down once the license expired they managed to get the license extended.

There wasn’t a big “shit show” just Chris’s son saying on Twitter (iirc) that this was the case and they (him and his dad, iirc the son did the editing on the video) were just thankful that so many people enjoyed it during the year it was up.

A few days/weeks later it was back up. Don’t think anyone talked about the deal but I want to believe that David stepped in himself to pull the strings needed for it to stay up. I love the original but dam Chris’s cover is a very close second for me...
Your original comment doesn’t make that very clear at all; you might want to clarify who “they” are in your comment.
Why would you design a site like this? There’s no reason for the content to be hidden when you scroll to it. Why should the visitor have to wait and see if anything fades in? Either make it a video presentation or make it a proper website. Don’t do this weird mixture that’s the worst of both worlds.
I understand the dream of having a retro thing. And I’m hoping the goal stays the way they like it.

The floppy drive irks me though. I’d still re-box that sucker or put sd card slots or USB inside it. Maybe if I can just get the motherboard and keyboard with the blinkenlights.
What a shame that such a unique opportunity is wasted on such a mediocre curator. This nouveau-rich collector could have sent a curator of renown in his place rather than making the project all about himself. Aside from the fact that he obviously lacks experience or any actual taste, it's widely considered unacceptable for any curator to highlight themselves in their work in this way. The exhibition is and should be about the artists and the art, not the wealth, connections, and boldness of the curator. This will read as overwhelmingly narcissistic in the art context, which means it will only ever be seen as a kind of publicity stunt in the same vein as high altitude sky diving (what if Red Bull repeated the event, but this time the aeronaut jumped from the balloon with a canvas and oils?) For instance it's laughable that he mentions Picasso in the first sentence, as if to insinuate that it is preordained that this project will produce historic works of art.

What's worse, the framing is absurd. What will they make when they return? Something quite similar to what they made when they left! An artist's practice is something built over years, not some kind of instantaneous response to a single experience. Perhaps it will affect the trajectory of their careers – probably unpredictably for having been associated with this bizarre, self-aggrandizing project – and perhaps it won't. To prescribe this outcome in advance of even seeing what happens is boring and totally closes the possibility of unexpected and interesting outcomes.

I think going to the moon for entirely impractical reasons is itself a conceptually beautiful act, but it's too bad it's been spoiled in this way. The story is thus: "rich man pays for himself and a handful of famous people to be flown around the moon and back." Cool story.

To me, the most interesting part of this is the incredible risk that all of these people who presumably have much to lose will take together. The true climax will be when they return safely, or not.

Because in this case no central authority has a monopoly on resource allocation, or even anything that comes close to a meanful level of control over resource allocation.

Central planning is a very well defined system of economics, and involves an authority taking almost complete control of the supply side. The federal reserve system does not resemble this in any way. The Fed isn’t particularly interested in how resources are allocated, and generally only concerns itself with the supply of money, and maintaining stability in the market. It has no opinion on what goods and services should be supplied.

The existence of a central bank does not equate to a planned economy.
Your demonstration falls flat because it lacks the personal expert credibility of Linus Torvalds and, most importantly, the ring of truth behind the basic point.

Linus Torvalds is widely accepted as an expert on kernel development (otherwise we wouldn’t be using his kernel and no one would care). Most Linux contributors respect Linus and care about his respect and approval. Conversely, I have no idea who the hell you are and no desire to earn your approval. As far as I know, you have never run any open source project of any real consequence or demonstrated any real responsibility for anything in your entire life. Why should I give a shit what you think of me and my ideas?

The rants that I have seen from Linus were in discussing points that were pretty unassailable and absolute: don’t introduce regressions that break userspace, don’t make a system call to read every single byte, etc. Being “some engineer from IBM or Intel” isn’t an antidote for the natural human impulse to cut corners or do dumb shit. Linus, in my view, never assumed that anyone was a fool: he just told them they were fools after they demonstrated their foolishness to him, most of the time in cases where they either did know better or damned well should have.

And yes, if I fucked up badly enough, I would want to be addressed that way, or at least tolerate it, given that it was from someone I respected and whose opinion mattered to me, or at least given that I was indisputably in the wrong. Working in an environment where no one is ever held accountable for cutting corners and fucking over everyone else is in many ways even more poisonous than the occasional public shaming.
TLDR: "But this doesn't seem to be a Reinhart and Rogoff situation. Their Excel errors really did change their conclusions. Piketty's don't. "

On another note I feel bad for Reinhart and Rogoff who are constantly used as the bad examples for making one mistake. Reinhart is a great person, mentor and professor.
I’ve seen similar situations in the past. My experience has been that small business will get excited about “hitting it big” and allow a massive customer to suck up all their resources to the point where sales and marketing are put on hold or altogether stopped, leaving them totally dependent on that one customer for cash.

I’m curious if your experience in this case was similar.
>nothing is stopping them.

I'm guessing their Network agreements with Visa and MasterCard would stop them. You could issue a stripe card that only works with stripe merchants. But I can't imagine visa allowing their imprint on a card that can both process anywhere AND be used to slowly cut visa out of the picture.
Well, when all your friends can drive in the snow but your fancy-pants car can't, that's not a very compelling value proposition.
> I'm not saying it's not political, I'm saying it's also cultural, when we revere and lionize people like Jobs and Schmidt rather than putting them in prison.

Whether we put them in prison is the policy decision. Culture influences policy in the same way that policy influences culture, but they're not the same thing -- and there are two different cultures here. One is that of the executives making the corporate decisions, the other is that of the voters/representatives making the political decisions. They could be wicked and we could still put them in jail.

> If we weren't wicked we wouldn't have invented law. That shows trivially that character is more fundamental than policy, eh?

If people weren't as wicked we wouldn't need laws. If we had better laws people wouldn't be as wicked. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? The undesired results are created by the existence of bad laws as well as the absence of good ones.

And more to the point, it's easier to change laws than culture. What would you suggest is the best way to affect the culture of corporate executives? Not even they can easily change it without a policy change, because the culture is derived from the existing policies and the corresponding consequences. The executives who cheat and steal and don't get caught are the ones who get bonuses and promotions and end up running the largest corporations.

Culture isn't static, it evolves based on the environment -- and the biggest part of the environment we have any control over is the laws. Bad laws suppress wages and cause economic inefficiency and wealth inequality, so here we are. Half the regulations on the books were passed under the guise of taking from the top, but the people actually at the top have the resources to avoid them so what they really do in general is take from the middle. But the middle is the place we wanted the people at the bottom to get to -- so all we're doing is making it harder for them to do that while pushing the people who are already there further down.

If you want to improve the culture, get rid of the bad laws and actually enforce the good ones.

That's a self-created problem. It is possible to remain in business while self-creating problem. It is, however, not recommended.

We once were jerked around by a reasonably well known customer. Their accounting people decided they did not need to perform under the payment terms the customer signed off on. First time they did it, I sent an email to the EVP that signed the order. We got an apology and a payment. The next month the same thing happened again - we redirected all their traffic to "We are unable to process your request - please contact your account coordinator to restore access" message and did not remove it until the wire hit our account ( 5pm-8:02am ). We received a letter with apologies from the customer's CEO, customer was saved and they never missed a payment again. I heard, via the grapevine, that three people at the customer's AP group were shown the door as the result of our message.
I bet you are a lot of fun at parties.

Assuming there hasn't been, I think this just supports the idea that EV certs aren't useful: the bad guys don't even feel the need to try to use them maliciously!
Because hardware is hard. Because product/artistic vision isn't the skillset same as marketing/sales. Because angel investors and founders had irreconcilable differences.

(Also because 95% of the functionality of the ~$60BOM hardware we spent 12-18 months getting into manufacture could be replicated with new components with a BOM of around $10 by the time we had the product in our hands...)
Thank you! If a host goes offline then gaming session is free! Host uptime is taken into account while assigning gaming sessions, so if a machine goes offline before it’s set date then future sessions are less likely to occur on it.
By that reasoning, people are no better off today, in an economic sense, than they were 200 years ago. In fact, they would be worse off because there are more of us and the same (if not fewer) resources to go around.
I'm loving the new Shortcuts app, but I've found bugs.

The "Get current location" action doesn't seem to work reliably outside of the Shortcuts app itself. Particularly not within Siri.

Is it a location services privacy issue?
I am tangentially aware of the blow ups the Linus delivered, having read stuff here, but am curious, and an honest question, where the blowups based on what the code of conduct covers?

" age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation."

My impression was he would call people idiots, in as many ways as possible, and such, but was not aware that these code of conduct identified groups were used.
Lol. Congratulations on being the one negative comment. I was scrolling down and down with baited breath, but there you were.

I wonder if it’s possible to do anything without someone criticizing it.
One way to avoid 4. Expecting without expressing, is to make sure that you have confidence that anyone on your team can fill in for you in a meeting you can't make, and correctly report your objectives, plan, strategy, and reasoning. If they can, then they know your thinking, and you have expressed. A side benefit is that they may know a lot more about their areas than you do, and they can correct your mistaken ideas -- but only if they know what your ideas are.
So 3.4% for card present? That will not fly except with the smallest of businesses. (which is not where the profit is).
That’s a good call. Thanks for editing the title Dan!
I knew a manager who committed personal hours to some really neat coding projects but always avoided coding in his job. I think it's valuable for managers to at least understand what the engineers are talking about, even if they couldn't do the work themselves.

I also remember the headaches caused when the company went into a sort of panic mode and he ended up doing actual coding on critical path projects in some attempt to dig up out of the hole. I saw that sign as, "the General has his sidearm drawn" and promptly got out of there.

I am not being loose in my definition of discrimination. Instead I am using the exact same definition of description that the people in the lawsuit are using.

IE age discrimination.

Either age discrimination is morally OK or it isn't.

I'd be fine with either the situation of age discrimination being disallowed or allowed, across the board, regardless of whether the discrimination is against young or old people.

Either way. I just want age discrimination against young and old people to be treated exactly the same.
The only caveat I have on that is the iPhone's Settings. Its chaotic in there.

You generally don't get investment money day 1. If you are able to pull that, it's because you've had success being a founder before (or have rich friends/family). But as a first-time founder? I think you'd be wasting your time without having something real to show. Generally, that's an MVP with some degree of traction.

To get to that point, you have to do a lot of the things bigger companies have to do. Those things just tend to be less complex and you have fewer people to do them. Accounting, sales, engineering, marketing, etc., etc. all exist, to some degree, in a two-person company. At first, you learn to do them yourself. You'll probably suck at them. It's okay. They all have some degree of a feedback loop. If you're open, you'll figure it out.
Eventually, with success, you'll hire other people to do them.

From there, you can get access to a great network by doing an incubator as someone else mentioned, or by just getting out there and talking to users (do this day 1). But you're worried about years 2-4 when you haven't even started year 1 yet.

If you want to discuss in more detail, I'm a founder with a product in banking that's been moderately successful. Email's in my profile. Feel free to reach out.
> it's widely considered unacceptable for any curator to highlight themselves in their work in this way

So then he's not a curator but a patron. There's entire wings of galleries dedicated to portraits of patrons of the arts.

You make some good points but your framing of art as some kind of system with established rules, more than just heaving out your opinion on it just isn't reality.
Everytime the government changes the rules, people have to modify the firmware of basically any device with a clock, the people have to go around updating those (especially ones that don't have any auto update mechanism). Source: I'm a software engineer and I had too update hundreds of copy machines manually a few years ago.
And a regulated debit card is around a 10 cents flat fee. No percentage.

Square's fees are pretty high unless you are processing less than say $150k a year.
Q: Why did your startup fail?

A: Brilliant beloved and trusting visionary founder just didn't have a functioning crazy person detector (which was fortunately why he hired me), but he also unfortunately hired a self-proclaimed "Serial Hacktreprenuer" (I shit you not) as a "game finance expert", who failed to do his job raising money, and whose bizarre behavior and "volatile and erratic work habits" led to battling lawsuits and the failure of the company, who claimed the founder "tried to push him out of the company and committed an "atrocity" by trying to take away" his equity, who called the dispute a "genocide", and who then threatened to publish an "exposé documentary" by tweeting: “Looking for PR professionals to build awareness for “THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT WILL”, an exposé documentary, releasing on YouTube 6/2012.”

But they eventually settled the lawsuits, and Will issued a statement officially thanking him for his "tenacious execution" of the company (insert capital punishment joke here), so he never followed through on that threat.

Q: What did you learn?

A: I learned to program iOS and Unity3D, and to stay out of company politics, and to listen to my bullshit detector.

Appeal to authority.

Either age discrimination is morally OK or it isn't.

I don't care whether it is legal or not. If you are engaging in this discrimination you are exactly morally the same as any other person engaging in discrimination, whether that be based on age, sex or race.
You might reserve that evaluation for a century or two.

Arguably, we're still cruising on the de Medicis' and Borgias' investments in the arts.
That’s an interesting thesis. Was it intended as satire originally or just developed with a non-western eye?

Seriously, Barack Obama? I'm neither republican, not democrat, but you've got to be kidding me with that recommendation. He was a politician, through and through. Yes, the first black one, but aside from that he presented very little that was materially difference from previous politicians. Just being first at something, given the random nature of the universe, isn't enough to wow me. Your ability to make things happen, and change the world - of which he did basically neither - is what wins you respect.
That makes a lot of sense. I know IKEA is often decried as low-quality furniture, but I'd disagree. In my experience, IKEA furniture is excellent quality for the price it's being sold at, and they seem to have (at least) a two-tier system - extremely cheap stuff, and quality-oriented stuff at a higher price point.

Both provide ridiculously good value for their respective price points, IMO.
How do you know that he isn't going to have a renown creator help select the artists?

Furthermore, there is plenty of evidence that singular profound experiences can drive the creation of art or change the nature of an artist's future work.

Your cynicism is not much different from those that complain that the immense resources spent by engineers at SpaceX could better go to helping the impoverished.

I don't think it makes any sense to hand over this idea to some ivory tower team that thinks they know better than the innovators and creators of the ideas themselves.
