"Still, as good as the Instagram Stories product was, it is difficult to overstate the built-in advantage that came from Instagram’s larger network, and impossible to overstate the importance of having a shared advertising backend with Facebook. To put it another way, Instagram’s two biggest advantages relative to Snapchat, or any other competitors that may arise, didn’t have much to do with product — Systrom’s speciality — at all."

But the first advantage he mentions -- the size of the network -- is a direct result of the product. The point of a good product is to get people to use it which is what grows the network.
It just simply doesn't set a candidate apart from anyone else. Just like what school someone went to. I simply don't care if it was an ivy league school or local school. It doesn't matter. what really matters is their accomplishments. Trading on a name is not going to work for me.

Soy is pressed for oil. The remaining meal is used almost exclusively for livestock feed. Its not good for much else.

As for corn, it takes 0.8lbs of corn to make 1lb of meat. Its a net gain. The difference comes from grazing of course. And before we talk about "that grazing land could have been used for grain", only 8pct of US grazing land could be converted to cropland.

Dark matter doesn't 'explain' being itself a fudge factor. We give it a name to resolve observations that do not fit our models. We have a strong belief in gravitational laws and theory that we take it as fixed and make the rest fit as needed. Not having an alternate theory of gravitation that is as good makes this reasonable.
Aside from working on side projects, you may want to consider a different role that will help you build a better resume. It sounds like this job isn't helping you add or practice skills.
I love a good name, one that is spelled such that many/most native speakers of the language will pronounce it approximately correctly when they see it, and isn’t too difficult to spell, but also lets a person feel a baseline differentiation - to not be drone#6472567.

I am <banal name>#4235862, and I DO find that annoying. Often cannot even differentiate me from the many holders of my name by adding my last initial, or even my entire last name.
Try playing around with this interactive graph, hosted on the same site mentioned in the article: www.babynamewizard.com/voyager . Not exactly a refutation of your hypothesis, but it does seem to indicate that both boy and girl names are following the same trend of increasing diversity over time, leading to reduced absolute dominance of any given name. If those trends are the same, and if we assume that both parents are just as involved in the naming process regardless of boy or girl, then it may be that there's not much of a difference in the faddishness of names.

If I were to propose a counter-hypothesis, it may seem as though boy's names are less faddish because of cultural tendencies to name children after biblical figures, of which there are many more men than women. Names like e.g. Matthew, Timothy, Benjamin are more-or-less timeless because of this (though of course they'll still wax and wane like any other), whereas people seeking girl names are relatively out of luck: you've got Mary, other Mary, um... Delilah (if you're okay with the whole "treachery" thing)... strangely Eve has never seen the same enduring popularity as Adam.

In a similar vein, it seems that boys are more prone to be named after ancestors, for which I offer the anecdotal evidence of how few women are "Juniors" compared to men. (And all of this is assuming western culture, I have no clue as to naming practices elsewhere.)
And it’s not a long way off being tried in New Zealand, which has (distant) goals of being predator free. Presumably this excludes humans.
I think this was supposed to be, "if you have an undergraduate education in mathematics along with the basics of algebraic topology, you could have invented spectral sequences".

The prototypical example of a chain complex is a triangulation of an n-dimensional surface. You can take each n-dimensional triangulation into its (n-1)-dimensional boundary, with the property that the boundary of a boundary is empty. Roughly, this means that you have a sequence of maps on "chains" (prototypically, triangulations)

d_{n} d_{n-1} d_{2} d_{1}
C_{n} -----> C_{n-1} ---------> ... -------> C_{1} -------> C_0

with the property that d_{k_1}(d_{k})(x) = 0 for all x and all k (or more abbreviated, d^2 = 0), the boundary of a boundary is zero.
You seem to imply that reliable ≠ small, and that small registrars are cheaper.

In my experience, the opposite is true in both cases.
Big registrars can’t afford any support costs since they prefer to squeeze the price down as far as possible, and therefore they prefer to simply lose or outright drop any customer in case of any and all problems. Conversely, small registrars may charge more, but have better (i.e. actually existing, and sometimes even dedicated and personal) support for when things go wrong, and have a vested interest in keeping you as a customer.
I stand corrected. Of course, “twice ever” is still a lot less frequent than “keeps doing it all the time”.
I honestly don't understand what people see in Overcast. It was already less feature-complete than Downcast, and now there is Pocket Casts with every feature under the sun, an android version, and a modern interface too.

All of them more or less suck at recommending/discovery, but apart from that, Pocket Casts is a clear winner for me.

Why would you think that is true? Here in the USA we eat less red meat than we did 45 years ago, and are way less healthy. NHS and the USDA make all kinds of boneheaded dietary prescriptions that are terrible (eat lots of grains, eat trans fats, avoid eggs, avoid butter).

Since the 1970s, at least:

* Americans eat less red meat and more white meat than they used to in the 70's.

* Americans get fewer calories total from meat than they used to, yet eat way more plant material (hint: carbs) than ever before. https://imgur.com/a/LgqUMJz

* Americans and Brits are way more overweight than ever before, with the obesity "trend" starting in the late 70s or early 80s. Obesity should concern you, it kills 10 times the people that the US opioid epidemic does (300K deaths/year vs 30K deaths/year), but culture makes it much harder to take 10 times as seriously. Or talk about at all for that matter. What's a minute increase in bowel cancer comparatively?

Why fear (unprocessed) red meat in 2018, and why on earth listen to the NHS on the subject? Are people who listen to NHS guidelines actually healthier than people in the 1970's, who ate more red meat?

No product controls it's own destiny.

You initially lead with a use case, but end up following how people actually use your product, or competitive products, and iterate on them in order to retain and attract users.

--------------

The broader point here though is that, at least with consumer software, you will not be able to compete with Google AND Facebook AND Snap AND Amazon in any category.

Maybe your product can beat Google+ at social networking, you won't beat Facebook and they'll either buy you or siphon your users. You might be able to build a better enterprise messaging system than LinkedIn but Microsoft will bleed you dry with a better enterprise sales team.

Even new categories that are subsets of broad categories eg. Social/Ephemeral Messages have no chance of surviving, as they are features to existing products that have BN of users.

So the best chance you have as a software startup to compete is to sell to the Cartel (Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft), and hope that you're given enough lattitude to see the product that you're ruddering play out as long as possible.

I wonder if the success AMD is having right now in the CPU space can in the future extend to the GPU space.

It would be awesome. I also wonder if in this case it is an issue of hardware or only something related to the drivers/API.

That was what I looked for first as well and was surprised to see so much Twit garbage (really guys, your ad reads are HELLA long) above Relay.fm content.
The issue here is that "support" is an overloaded word. Tidelift does not ask maintainers to be a help desk where subscribers can call them up directly. But we do provide certain assurances and help with open source dependencies, through a combination of our own efforts and that of participating maintainers.

Maintainers who sign up are contractors (here is the contract: https://tidelift.com/docs/lifting/agreement ).

It's not that developers don't have to think about sales and marketing _at all_, but it's much reduced vs. starting one's own company from scratch. All those jobs that sales, marketing, finance, operations, etc. are normally doing at a company are things that Tidelift takes on.

It's a little over 6 years elapsed. Maybe they had to wait out some vesting?
Definitely, I meant that they were only able to circumvent the Play store because of the settings/admin/root access etc intentionally left open by the core product team.

To clarify, the article doesn't mention that they were stopping iPhone users to install the app, only Android. I'm not too familiar with the method/tech though. If by design, Android had a more closed ecosystem, they couldn't force it so casually. I'm personally not a fan of that approach, but could see the benefits when under this type of government.

List of potentially deadly automotive software defects from NHTSA recalls
As someone currently working in the nuclear industry, I can comment that the pervasive bureaucratic fog of war adds a level of mental overhead that means you really have to challenge yourself to still get decent thoughts converted to action by the end of the day.

If I leave this industry I feel like my over-exercised skill of juggling this mental overhead will be pretty useful in places where the burden is lower. I'll feel like I have an extra brain just laying around in reserve.

What are those performance limitations, really?

Memory? Because if you can spread your model across multiple GPUs, and you've implemented Krizhevsky's One Weird Trick to switch between reducing the smallest of either parameters or deltas, you're golden.

I thought tensor cores and NVLINK would end up Tesla differentiators, and really great ones at that, but now they're both in the Turing consumer GPUs so I am really scratching my head here.

That said, the EULA is just stupid. I cannot use CUDA 9.2 or later at work because of it. No one is going to audit our computers for any reason ever, period, full stop.

If you are able to do your own work, and there's nothing else to do, I don't see a problem with it. Your conditions of employment, however, may state otherwise--many do, e.g., anything you develop while at work (or even on work hardware) becomes IP of the company. You'd want to check that, and take appropriate care.
Hackers are indeed a vital part of online security. There's no such thing as a 100% security online and exposing possible risks can have a positive outcome. But I don't think that blogging about it with sensitive information is the best way. Even if he wanted acknowledgement, informing the hotel and writing a "clean" article about wifi security would have benefitted him more in my opinion. Thank you for sharing. Any links to his blog article by the way?
i cant, others have tried to convince me and i know how to do security very well, ive set up many a system for friends who are the sort of people who put tape over their cameras (why do you do this people? an image of your gormless mug staring at a screen is no use to anyone, if you want to do something more useful disable or remove your microphone)

even if anyone had all my info they couldnt really do much with it, im not creditworthy in any way, i own pretty much nothing and i have no enemies or any reason for anyone to try and destroy me somehow.

personally im more than happy to have people collect data on my boring little life in exchange for free services online etc so like you i really dont see a way it could negatively affect me
I mean yeah, if you have a medical condition obviously it's different but that's not really what I was getting at. I'm sure a few Googlers have genuine reasons for being stuck in their jobs and maybe that's one of them but I'm sure it's not the case for most of them.

My overall point is basically: if Google engineers can't justify quitting their jobs on moral grounds, then who can? We're utterly privileged compared to 99% of job sectors. If we are willing to give them a pass then we really can't complain about, say, people working for PRISM or military personnel in the drone programs, because I'm sure many of these people are in a much more precarious situation than your average Google engineer.

So true...I was "Brett" growing up and to this day the number of "Brett"s I've heard of is less than a dozen.

As a kid I loathed it and promised myself I'd change to a nice "jim" when I was old enough. Not only was I a victim of bullying and felt my name made me stick out, but the kids would call me "Brat" while the adults used "Brent" or "Bret", and I truly thought the unusual name made it all worse.

As an adult I don't particularly like my name, but I do appreciate being unusual. When another "Brett" does show up in conversation or text, I take a second to realize it isnt about me. (The current US supreme court nomination has been less than fun in an extra way for me)

I cant imagine how different it must be to have a common name and default to assuming that your own name probably means someone else.

I used to sit next to a Bob Smith, and everytime he called someone new on the phone for work (we did that back in the day) he had to follow up with "no, for real".
This is a tactic typically invoked by people with a anti-trans agenda. Gender, sex and sexuality are in fact multi-dimensional things with some broad clustering.

Either the argument is, "Gender isn't real, all cultural norms stem directly from biology." Obviously and trivially false. Or the argument is, "Gender should be destroyed as it holds people back," which is just a semantics game to penalize some LGBT+ people choosing taxonomies to describe their experience that other people don't like the visibility of."

Real time pricing and personalized pricing. The more marketers learn about you, the more they will be able to set custom prices for you that may not be in your benefit. Think airline tickets, that's the model people are after.

What if I told you that in 10 minutes you could get most of the way to great privacy without leaving Google services or social networks at all? Also your pages will load faster, you will be paywalled less often, and you will see a security benefit.

1. Browser containerization, use one browser for browsing normally and never sign into accounts, use the other for only signing into accounts, no normal browsing

2. Install Ublock origin and privacy badger extensions

3. Get a VPN (ok, this takes more like 10 minutes by itself) and use it

4. Only browse in incognito mode and set your browser to delete history

5. Make firefox and brave your browsers and turn on their default privacy features

6. Continue to chat on social networks and Google but use their encrypted products (Allo incognito, WhatsApp, FB's thing etc)
Absolutely this. Also, it only matters if you ever make it in life.
Every time I find interesting (and frighting) that we are nothing but a collection of ourselves and virus and bacterias, written down to our DNA and RNA or living together with close dependence deep in our guts (literally).

Going further, a lot of what we do unconciously is just what a virus or something else "did" to survive or spread in the past, and our free will isn't that free...

Edit: "did" wasn't meaning that a specific goal was set, for example, but just that the survival rate was better for certain configuration of atoms
