> That's because advice doesn't solve anything. Action does.
> And only you can do that for yourself.

Aside from the continuing vacuity, and the rather oxymoronic nature of "Advice doesn't help"-advice, I'm pretty sure that idea is just wrong?

Advice is a rather fundamental mechanism of humanity's success. Not just as in "ask a lawyer/doctor", but as something so common we don't even notice. It allows to tap into a vast repertoire of wisdom, and brings the benefit of fresh sets of eyes, with often minimal costs and efforts for either party.

I also fear this you-can-do-it attitude is slightly too close to Prosperity Gospel for comfort: Telling people they just have to be more disciplined is bound to fail more often than not, and leaves them with the complete burden of guilt. There's a point of diminishing returns for emotional pain as a motivator.

That not only ignores the rather substantial influence of luck, other people's action, and other factors beyond one's control. It also discounts all other personal factors possibly contributing to someone's misfortune. Maybe they just aren't cut out for professional sports/pulitzer price journalism/whatever... Or they have chosen some endeavour that just isn't a good fit for their personality (in terms of social v analytical, outside / inside, action / concentration,...). In such cases, powering through is rather ill-advised unless your stock options are close to vesting.
Kind of surreal news honestly, my interest in this is about like I would imagine if I was going to a Monster Truck show and found out several drivers would be absolutely plastered the whole time: I'm pretty sure something very bad is going to happen.
Life is a zero sum game
Maybe you are new to the software industry but at every company I've seen e.g. Apple, Google, Microsoft they strongly encourage you to be filing patents.

And calling it farming is a bit strange considering you're paid by the company to generate the IP in the first place. Plus they typically compensate you extra for it.

I've seen plenty of seemingly dumb patents myself, but most of them are legal because an application of a known technique to a new field is considered novel in patent law. So if you design an amazing new zipper for jackets, I can probably copy that, put it on a backpack, and get a patent on that and there would be nothing wrong with that legally.

Well, there's legal and there's right. They are not not always the same.
Reminds me of a similar article that measured a similar kind of question about the wait times for NYC subways conditional on how long you've been waiting (https://erikbern.com/2016/04/04/nyc-subway-math.html). I think it's a pretty safe bet that people who like this post will like this article as well.
You're absolutely right. The point is to help readers know if they might have read it before, not to imply it's outdated.
Hey there, author here. I mainly wanted to have physical discs so I could have them stored in the collector's edition boxes that can with the original Japanese discs. If I just wanted the video out, then I would've been done in a week!
Fedora and CentOS will both survive -- but maybe under a different name.

Great answer. What if you learned basic stats, calculus etc during a masters or BSci degree?
Sorry, no native point system. You can bolt on something NoCeM-like, server or newsreader based, and enjoy distributing article reputation right now.

Funnily, book and story lengths actually do bunch up for commercial reasons. I read of one author whose kids book was semi accepted, but they needed another 80 pages to hit the next price point. (Basically, the unusually thin book would not "communicate value" on the shelf). Extending the story ruined the flow, so he decided to self publish online.

The same is true for film - opportunities to tell a 10 minute or 70 minute story are pretty rare, and I think techniques of film have just developed around that limitation. A 70 minute film might just leave viewers feeling confused.

Check this out if you're in the boston area, I've been to a few AR-focused meetups and they're pretty good at surfacing what is out there and state of the art: https://www.meetup.com/BostonAR/events/255921064/

(and/or email the organizer to get slides/company names if you're not in boston)

Here's some AR companies working on architecture: https://www.archdaily.com/878408/the-top-5-virtual-reality-a...

One of the apps mentioned there, Pair, is run by Andrew Kemendo who is an active participant on HN, started his first AR company in the space in 2011 and is very knowledgeable, check his stuff out: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=AndrewKemendo

In the engineering space PTC/Microsoft (Vuforia/Hololens) and UpSkill (founded 2010) jump out in my mind as leaders. PTC has been doing CAD modeling and full PML/ALM tooling etc. forever and started to look at AR applications in the 2013/2014 timeframe to build on their modeling, maintenance, and workflow tracking expertise

A common thread is that many of these companies were founded in 2010/2011 and have rebranded around the 2015 timeframe to focus on different business problems and market their solution as "AR"

And yeah I agree, I think the jankiness of the hardware is still a huge sticking point, nobody has nailed the comfortable glasses form factor with enough POV/battery/processing power to really make AR take off

Many companies will license patents to an open organisation as well as indemnify them against patent threats from other companies.

Patents are by and large warfare between large companies. They almost never used against open source contributors or small companies unless by patent trolls.
Plus there's a certain irony in the existence of the attention economy willing to wax at length on the idea that a lot of things are more complex than 'just stop/start doing it'.

Would love to see that kind of consumer protection across the board. Almost every US ad looks like this these days:

Interesting idea. Visual music design can inspire new ideas for composition.

There are quite a few people who take cash and yet do not report it as income. However, in the case you are describing a business would have to sell something illegally (without reporting their sales to the IRS). In my mind controlling businesses is far less burden on the IRS than individuals (how many returns are audited again? less than 1%?).

Not only that, if that money is then used to purchase legitimate goods the tax is still received. However, in the case of not reporting income you can consume whatever you want to from society without incurring any tax.
If you compare Oracle and IBM, Oracle comes off as competent.

Not in terms of technical ability; they are about equivalent. But for everything else, IBM is just a lame copy.
Users have no incentive to report. Reporting would not prevent this from happening again, even the next ride.
Maybe IBM can re-acquire ThinkPad from Lenovo too. Red Hat traditionally uses ThinkPads internally.

What's your definition of 'bonkers areas?' Can you show how 1 million net worth gets someone retirement? It seems to me that if you're retiring on 1 million dollars you're going to run out of money pretty easily unless you're living off rice and beans. And in many places with just $40k a year (assuming a 4% withdrawal of the 1 million) you might not be able to even cover your mortgage/rent/property taxes/bills not even factoring in food/healthcare/entertainment. These days people who retire can potentially live another 20 years or so and 1 million in the bank won't cover it at all.

I would feel a lot better about this if their other recently acquired properties showed a better user experience, especially weather underground and the weather channel.

I'm not an IBM hater by any means. My FIL was a beemer; I have a good friend who is still one, along with various others I've known through my life. I cut my teeth on IBM mainframes, and my nostalgia for things like xterm stem from that.

But their recent track record is troubling. To an outsider it seems like they haven't formed a cohesive corporate strategy, and they've been making things up quarter to quarter.

I don't feel good about this, I'm sorry to say. I hope I'm wrong.
The Euro has failed to generate the promised economic growth. Average GDP growth for the Eurozone since the Euro's adoption is a bit above 20%. The UK has managed double that since it opted to stay out, and other non-Eurozone EU members have done even better. As addressed in the article, the Euro has also failed to promote closer political unity - see what happened during the Greek crises, or what is happening currently in Italy.
> Should banks care? If you put up $300k on a $1m property (meaning a $700k loan), and it gets foreclosed, then the bank will recover all of their money. They shouldn't care, as they're in the clear risk wise.

From a micro perspective, yes. But a giant book of business relying on this model can easily expose unintended overleveraging in a sector that can hurt valuations regionally, such as China-US relations, more attractive offers elsewhere, etc. It isn't that simple.

You can read his work and evaluate for yourself.
I think it's because so many of them are sold/licensed that way. You buy an Arm core, an Ethernet, USB or BT interface, etc. Often you do it from your EDA (electronic design automation) vendor so that it fits into your design/test/layout flow. Even the ones you don't pay for often can't be redistributed. Lots of them are literally black box or "hard" IPs that you can't change or test except through defined interfaces... but they often have been validated much more than anything you can write and may be much smaller or lower power than you would naively write.
Yeah, in a sociological level I totally understand how being discriminated for being black is more serious than being discriminated for something unlikely like being a redhead, but a major thing at play here is machine learning, should the engineers add code to the system in order for it to skip looking skins colors? What if skipping skin color is not enough and the machine "bypasses" such restrictions by detecting the shape of the nose (e.g. black people have slightly different noses than white people); at the end of the day what the machine is doing is just statistics and if you poke too many holes on it -for moral reasons or else- you may as well don't use statistics at all.
10 days is a big commitment, and it may be something you want to explore in future. While I do not agree with all the philosophies and can do without all the evening talks, the fact that you can do long sessions of meditations and everything is taken care of is excellent. I like to compare ten days course to a marathon - it is hard, you need to be open, and you learn a lot about your mind.

I have also found "Black Lotus App" (http://blacklotusapp.org/) to be a good source for myself. It is free, has some good guided sessions, allows you to attend global sessions and gives access to other resources.
Slack is useful for group chat of 3-5 people. Occasionally a channel will have useful information. And then it's mostly important for coordinating lunch and sharing funny links.

Spare your fingers ;) - you'll never convince anybody of the value of cmake by telling them about it. You just have to put them in a situation where they're looking after a program that has to build on multiple desktop platforms, and they'll figure it out eventually...

(The combination I've always had to deal with is Linux, OS X and Windows/VC++ - but any combination that includes both Windows/VC++ and a POSIX-type OS is probably enough to make it worthwhile. The POSIX/non-POSIX differences are rather annoying to deal with otherwise, and that quite apart from how most Windows programmers will quite reasonably want to use a Visual Studio project rather than a Makefile.)

Freedom from something is no freedom. Modeling your life based on things you want to free yourself from is not truly freeing you from them.

To be free is to understand the root cause and tackle that. To truly understand why seeing pics of your buddy's hawaiian family vaction makes you feel bad.
You're framing this as an internet problem, which it is not. Before the internet it was called "keeping up with the Jonses" and one can not simply uninstall their environment, whereabouts and reception of social status and class telegraphing from others.

I honestly couldn't care less and consumerism is deeply offensive to me. I often think I belong in a different time, when commercialism and consumerism wasn't such a thing. There was a time not so long ago that people took pride in saving, repairing and making do.

I have the perfect set of steps:

Put it in a closet and forget about it.

Sell it.

Give it away.

Don't give it to her.

It's way too early. You don't want to destroy her attention span do you?

Why am I saying this? I have a daughter, same age. We gave her access to screen time too early.

It introduced a lack of ability to focus (even with giving it to her in limited doses).

Then shortly thereafter, it became the only thing that mattered.

Books? NOPE.

Art? NOPE.

Crafting? NOPE.

Lego? NOPE.

We ended up taking it away. The reaction was swift, but short-lived. Now all the other things that used to matter - matter once again.

I'm not a pro, I'm not claiming to be a pro. I'm just a fellow dad, who has been down this road… and it was ugly.

>The problem is that the state and federal ID system is so fucked up that it disenfranchises voters. Until that system is fixed, you can't use it for voting.

I really think this is a giant myth. You're expecting me to believe that these minorities are living such horrid, opressed lives that they slave away every single day, and can't find a friend with a ride, or band together to make a group trip to get registered one day out of the year?

Yeah, I've heard it, registration centers are closing in minority neighborhoods; but that doesn't mean that these people don't have places to register/get an ID within an hour or two by bus.

The problem is ignorance and apathy, not voter suppression. Frankly, if someone is so uninterested/unwilling to participate in society that they can't be fucked to spend even 1 day out of the year to get a license, then they don't have any business making any decisions regarding out collective government.
Does that include all apps that 'need' google play services?
It's more for de-risking startup employees. Having an option is the best way to generate wealth. That option though comes with trouble if you leave early and there is no liquidity event. With IPOs now taking 10+ years you have a lot of folks who are stuck, not to mention at the mercy of management. For the common man, it becomes difficult to get in early for the second wave of growth if IPOs are delayed. Having investments only run through a 401k imposes this arbitrary middle management tax. ICOs are an interesting opportunity in that you can completely bypass the stock market and the stock registry. You can even bypass the merchant banks. There should be a way to get into companies early.. at the moment everyone goes all in on real estate speculation, which makes no sense. It's better to focus growth in companies..

Well, it’s actually quite easy: if you care about profit, your morals are necessarily compromised. You are right that non-profits have other incentives as well, but expecting a for profit organization to have morals is inherently going to disappoint your expectation every time.
What that quoted sentence means is that you can file for a software patent with EPO and it will usually be granted. Implication by omission from that is that resulting patent is essentially unenforceable in the EU.
I think books on academic topics like this are typically not that numerous (eg about a dozen on this sort of introductory formal languages and automata), and as they don’t really make money for the author they are typically written by academics who either want there to be course material for some undergraduate course they are teaching or by academics who want to teach other academics/grad students about their field.

I would also argue with your point about most books being worthless. All books from an actual publisher will have been read by someone who has decided that the book will likely make money (and so should be printed), and that it will make money because it is worth money to the people who buy it. Eg I think the author of the article would probably consider any of the other books on the subject to not be worthless. All fiction books can basically be considered to have entertainment value, in the same way that a movie has value even if you won’t make money from seeing it.

There are books that many would consider worthless to themselves (eg books about advanced mathematics or some particular small region in history and space), and there are also books that many would consider worthless to any person (I suppose this is what you are referring to as worthless? Things that are more like terrible self-published fiction or conspiracy theory treatises).

I think this is interesting because it is unusual to see the second category disguised as the first for mathematics textbooks. I think it is also interesting to wonder why the author wrote such a book and why they made the strange choices in it. I would certainly guess that the author is some kind of not-very-formal linguist rather than a mathematician. I suppose it is more common to see the second class of “worthless book” trying to look like history books than mathematics books.
