How I cleared my credit card debts and Made Money
Hello guys, I have seen a great increase in my credit score and believe I am now on the right track. Thanks to deepwebservice01 AT gmail DOT com as I have just bought my first home! They just helped my spouse raise his score to over 750 within few days and also working on clearing his debts
Relative inequality is growing. But in absolute terms, to be poor today is a great deal better than being poor 100 years. Conversely, this means that you are also more productive in absolute terms.

There's definitely a lot more free time available to people today than there were in any industrial economy prior to 8-hour work days and similar advancements in labor rights. If you unwind back to pre-industrial, some argue that agriculture provides for a lot more free time than we're used to, albeit seasonally.

But free time is only one part of the equation - you also need education/skills and tools to create things. These days, many industrialized societies provide education for free, or so cheap that it's accessible to a great deal more people than it used to be - and then, of course, there's the Internet. Tools are also much cheaper; again, think about it in absolute terms, e.g. how a $20 power drill compares to your typical toolset 100 years ago, much less 500.

Our societies have plenty of problems, and I don't encourage rose glasses. But we should also recognize just how immense the advance of humanity has really been, when you look in the rear mirror. Or not even the mirror... if you were born in a developed country, find an immigrant from a developing one, and just ask them how they feel about here vs there.
Re: what are the problems?

One of the major reasons the UK decided to severely injure itself (sorry, to "Brexit") is that they wanted to eliminate free movement/migration, primarily from Eastern Europe, to the UK. This is permitted today due to the EU's principal of freedom of movement between member states.

During exit talks, the EU, however, told them there's no world in which they get to pick and choose from what they consider the 'four freedoms' (movement of goods, movement of labor, movement of capital, movement of services). This is not something they thought would really happen - they overlooked the fact the EU27 had every incentive to nail the UK to the wall to remind the remaining member states they don't get to pick and choose either, whether they stay or go.

This wouldn't be a big deal in and of itself, the UK is an island right? Except... along the border between Northern Ireland (EU27) and Ireland-Ireland (UK). The place they had a decades long civil war ("the troubles"). Nobody along that border wants to see a new physical border or checkpoints constructed. However, the EU won't allow goods to move freely unless the UK remains in the customs union/single market/single immigration region. Leaving this was a core premise for Brexit too. They're now backed into an epic corner, where they can't figure out how to have a border for goods, but not really, and not for people, but also for people. Hence their appeal to magic.

This all came to a head recently when the UK PM retreated to Chequers with some top cabinet ministers to put together a last-ditch proposal to make a deal. Appearing to her hardliners as giving up too much, a few left her cabinet (Boris Johnson, for one). Proposed to the EU27, they told them, again, they don't get to pick and choose freedoms, and to stuff it. I think the core solution proposed was to get EU customs officers to charge UK duties on goods arriving at EU ports destined for the UK? I can't remember exactly, it didn't really make sense. Hence this stroke (of genius?) from Hammond, probably as a way to track duties paid as nobody trusts each other.

This is going to get worse, yet, once the gaze shifts to Gibraltar. The tiny little British Overseas Territory hanging off Spain. The same issue exists there with goods. And people. In fact Spain has been demanding the return of Gibraltar for decades, but once they were both in the EU, and people and goods could move freely anyways, it didn't matter. Prepare yourselves, it's next.

tl;dr: Brexit has been, and remains, a national-level popcorn thread for years.

Hope that helps.
Or in the case of a citizen of said country it’s, “you want to return home, play by our border rules, and btw you have no citizen rights because the border isn’t the country.”
That article says: "30% of respondents said they voted more often since vote-by-mail was enacted."

Uh, you're only supposed to vote once.

Now the ballots show up, you can fill them out for all family members, even if recently deceased, and vote for everybody. That spouse doesn't need to vote. The high-school senior is too busy to do their own voting. The truly ambitious can even grab ballots out of mailboxes, adding them to their pile.

Sourcegraph CEO here. Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the regression! I filed an issue to improve our search docs at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/190 (will fix in the next day or so) and to add multi-line searches at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/191 (this is one of 3 significant search improvements coming in the next few months).
If you're asking whether or not political systems are capable of causing their own completely predictable demise in general: history says yes, emphatically.

As far as purposefully starving your own government of all funds and then triggering a collapse of society, it sure seems like we're about to find out.
I'm not saying that your app isn't worth $4 a month. If someone uses Beadifier to create art for sale, and it's an important part of their workflow, you could probably charge a lot more.

However, the question is, are there a 1000 people out there who sell photorealistic ironing bead pictures on a regular basis, who absolutely need your tool?

And you are targeting only people who are really into ironing beads. If someone (like myself) only uses beads occasionally, they wont buy a subscription. But I might buy something that costs a one time price, just like I bought a few of those bead matrices (not sure what those things are called).

Which market you target is up to you, but I'm pretty sure that there are 1000x more occasional ironing bead users than hard core enthusiasts.

(BTW: I tried the mobile website on the iPhone, and it kinda works, but feels broken. A proper iPhone app would probably have a live preview, so I could see the pattern in real time as I frame the picture, and I could just point a camera at my beads to load the palette... but that's just wishful thinking)
I wonder if Steve was still around if he'd be softening up some?
Of course, [Dedekind 1888] famously proved that the higher order theory characterized the natural numbers up to a unique isomorphism, which is impossible in the first order variant of this theory, which was developed later. Proof checking is computationally decidable in the higher order theory, which means that it is "effectively axiomatized." The fact that the theorems of the higher order theory cannot be computationally enumerated by a provably total procedure is irrelevant because, in practice, it does no good to enumerate the theorems.
I think the way they use swat teams is insane. I mean, I’m not American, but the fact that American police will send their swat team to storm a house that they have no idea what is going on in is completely insane.

You never rush a house, you assess the situation and the act accordingly. Receiving an anonymous phone call is not assessing the situation.

It’s almost like they are all guns no brains, and it’s incredibly dangerous. Rushing into an unknown situation is just incredibly stupid on all accounts. The fact they haven’t learned the lesson by now though, speaks volumes, and I don’t think registering for anti-swatting is learning the lesson at all.

Yes, you can. Do not take them. If you must take them, dispose of them.
This article is a little incoherent TBH.

How is debasing someone's work a more effective way of motivating better future work than simply explaining clearly what you need improved?

You need to believe in yourself first. It sounds like you have an inferiority complex. Most CTOs I know aren’t “upper echelon” anything — they just got great at their job and weren’t afraid to take risks (such as joining a tiny startup.) Plenty of non tech founders would love to have someone like you with your experience.

(I don’t mean to be disrespectful; just wanted to implore you to not fall for the self-imposed bigotry of low expectations.)

Just look on Angellist and you could probably find yourself a CTO or role — or one that could quickly lead to one. Just be excellent at your job; learn how to influence and be confident: you know more than most!

You're focused on the actions rather than the results. Common mistake.

People become leaders by creating and commanding change that positively affects the company. Land a major deal or create a new product line that doubles revenue? You're getting to the top.

Working harder than the others is part of this process, and sometimes that means you come in at 5am, but it's not a requirement nor is it something that anyone in that position actually focuses on as more than just a means to an end.
Yes, because people generally move into a neighborhood and walk around and introduce themselves - “Hi, my name is John, my family lives in the neighborhood. Please don’t call the cops on us for walking into our own house”.

What could possibly go wrong?

We live in a brand new subdivision where they are still building houses. I’ve never known any neighbor to walk around the neighborhood “introducing themselves”.
Isn't NIMBYis a very conservative-ish thing? (Though I think this just shows the failure of this mindless political labeling.)

It places the individual's need, which are only incidental due to their current residence above the community's need. Whereas liberal-ish things tend to require something from every member of the community. (Less gun right, mandatory health insurance, more spending on refugees and unlucky folks, etc.)
I got a scary letter from a former state I lived in saying "you didn't pay any taxes for the the year X, pay us YYYY + 20% immediately", when I had actually left the state right before the start of X, and returned shortly after X.

Thankfully I had records and an accountant, but a very stressful situation to find yourself in.
These stories about Jobs often describe him as an oracle. He clearly helped produced uniquely excellent products (just by virtue of their success), but was he ever the ideator? Or was his main gift sifting great work from everything else?

I was the first to file against the makers of SoftRAM. I was 15 or 16, so it's in my dads name, but it was my idea to contact a lawyer and show my proof (the relevant SYS/DLLs were just renamed Windows files, hah!). I learned pretty early in life some important things about class-action lawsuits and lawyers in general... They offered to settle for $2,000 and $35,000 for the lawyers. I said no, so the lawyers offered me $2,000 of their cut on top. So that's how it went, I bought my first car off my father, and the lawyers banked $33,000.
Wait, is that "as long as the user does not engage in patent litigation" against that consortium member? Or at all? I can't imagine a big corp. forfeiting the right to all patent actions.

"It is raining, but I don't believe it is raining" is certainly valid if I propose it as one possible thing happening in the world, and yet if I make that statement with the added context of "[I am asserting that right now] it is raining..." then it is clearly contradictory. Stripping away context makes the statement naturally ambiguous, and yet some decision is being made about what kind of context is "correct" or "logical"? Am I missing something here?
Speaking as a former Apple employee I can say with 100 percent certainty that you can add devices post purchase even before DEP existed. There are a number of ways:

If the device was purchased on or after March 1st 2011 you can do the following:

1. Work with your reseller if they participate in DEP to get the devices enrolled retroactively. Sometimes you have to put the nails on the reseller (they can pretty bad about this. Looking at you Verizon) but it absolutely can be done.

2. If your devices are eligible and were a direct purchase from Apple you should contact Apples enterprise support and they can start the process of double checking eligibility and getting those devices enrolled accordingly. This is pretty straightforward.

3. You can enroll eligible devices via Apple Configurator 2 into DEP using the process described here:

https://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/#/cad99bc2a859

Using Apple Configuratior 2 will allow you to bypass any reseller to enroll into DEP so it’s your best move if you are having issues getting people to do it fast enough. Any eligible device can be enrolled this way

When I was at Apple, I once heard Steve describe his roll within the company as "hire the best people and say 'no' a lot". Also, behind closed doors, Steve swore a LOT. In other words, him calling something "dog shit" was not at all an unusual or unexpected utterance. I think if your only experience of him is the "Steve"-notes and press interviews, then this story probably comes across a bit differently than it did in reality for Ken.
I can see both sides of this but not sure what the solution is. Imagine there is a real threat and 2 cops show up in a squad car instead of the swat team. By the time swat arrives everyone is dead and the cops get blamed once again. “It took them 25 minutes to get out there!! What are we paying them to do, eat donuts?!”

As for militarization vs peace keeping I can also understand both sides of the argument. Imagine you are a cop and while 95% of th situations you encounter are harmless, the other 5% could kill you. Would you not rather have the best equipment possible for your own protection? Would you listen to some asshole tell you “that’s the inherent risk of the job so deal with it”? No, you wouldn’t.

I really dislike how people paint issues as black and white, right and wrong and quickly come up with some reasoning for their argument without ever considering all angles. The world and the issues we deal with are a lot more complicated than people make them out to be. I know humans compartmentalize as a flight or fight response but we need to give rational thought to every issue and not jump to conclusions.
They don't have dedicated drivers for machine learning, the driver is the same for graphics and gpgpu. CuDNN and Tensor RT run on top of the drivers. Lots of DNN frameworks use CuDNN as a base for GPU training. Corporate clients use the hardware for clouds. I doubt that any sane person would run a cloud using Windows Server or Mac OS X Server.

Or search “gilectomy” on LWN. Or check out stackless etc.; it turns out removing the GIL technically is historically one of the easier parts of removing the GIL entirely.

It sounds like your main problem is with python’s GC model. Reference counting doesn’t have to be thread-unsafe, but in scripting/interpreted-ish languages that want their threading story to involve seamless (I.e. no special syntax unless you want it, it’s on you not to blow off your foot) sharing of state between threads at will, like Python and Ruby, a GIL or equivalent is the norm.
Sometimes it’s not as intrusive as python’s, but it does seem like a necessary (or at least very likely) implementation pattern for languages that want to provide that seamlessness. You can have thread-safe reference counted GC in a traditional scripting language, but that tends to come with a much less automatic threading/concurrency API. Perl 5 is an example of that category, and it is implemented in C.
> making high level decisions and asking for status

That's it. Along with hiring the right talent which is the half of the job (and often invisible) so that the work actually gets done. High-level decisions can affect hundreds or thousands of people and many more customers, so fewer but more important decisions is the trade-off, then delegating the rest so that other workers can do what they do best.

This description seems minor but the larger the company, the harder it is to keep things on track for a long-term focused vision. Also people don't do things just because you tell them to and you'd be surprised at just how hard it is to keep people working towards a goal.

Sure, call the swat team and have them surround the area quickly. But don't just run in with guns blazing. That makes absolutely no sense.
Fair enough, free is a pretty good price after all. But if anything, I honestly feel less safe knowing that the police department next door to me has that in their possession. Perhaps that's unfounded, but to me it really seems like a small part of a much larger and very concerning trend.

Edit: Unfortunately I can't track down a photo, but I seem to remember them having it out when they closed down Highway 99 for that shooting about a year ago. It's quite surreal seeing one of those blocking off a local highway, as though they're expecting to encounter IEDs or heavily armed enemy combatants in the middle of the city.

Blockchain actually could be used to provide data integrity in a distributed environment with known bad actors (presuming that they fall under the 50% threshold), but that is not applicable in this case since archive data is not stored in a distributive fashion by clients (as far as I know). Having worked on a production application that uses blockchain, my take away was it cleverly provides distributed ledger transparency, but at a price that makes it very inefficient as a data store.
Have you ever worked for Apple? What you see and reality aren’t always the same.

As far as innovation, have you used Apple Watch? Have you used CoreML? ARkit? Has any other company shipped a 7nm chip? Do you know the products in the pipeline?

It’s pretty easy to snipe when news reports are your only source. It isn’t like Tim Cook publishes meeting minutes or Craig F or Eddy Cue are sitting around discussing Tim’s management style.

iPhone or iPad wouldn’t have been possible without Tim because he created systems to actually produce and ship the thing. Look at the efficiency of Apple’s supply chain — nobody else can come close. That success is the very definition of “effective manager.”

If we want to talk of inept managers, we would have plenty from which to choose, but Cook isn’t one of them.
