Well its a pyramid scheme like many of the state licensed businesses. The low level agents have to work for a broker who soaks up the majority of the commission. Only after being an indentured slave for a few years do they get the "privilege" of themselves becoming a broker. The problem is that once that happens no one will hire you, so your on your own for finding clients/advertising/etc. That takes capital most low level agents haven't managed to accumulate working for someone else. So its likely they need a significant other/whatever to support them while they build the business while competing with the larger agencies that have the money to plaster signs down the freeway and run advertisements.

Given some luck/skill and a lot of hard work, maybe they become large enough to start hiring agents themselves, and the cycle repeats.

Failed interview with BigCorp, how do I regain my edge?
I graduated 3 years ago and took a well-paying 'software' position with a company, did well and succeeded on some projects, and quit because the company wasn't taking me where I wanted to go (technology or geography). Back in the city looking for better software work, I realize that my skills have fallen and I'm not nearly as acceptable as I used to be. Failing a coding assessment at BigCorp, I'm feeling somewhat lost.

Should I work on a personal project using the tech that I want to work in? Should I just spend my time mastering leetcode questions? It seems like most of what I learned in school isn't even relevant with getting a job.

Sorry you lost me. What are you trying to say?
Love this. I help organize a group in San Francisco that aims to improve it through technology (code4SF). Considering most people in the organization work/want to work in civic tech, many of our members (and organizers!) are extremely PC and are afraid to take risks that might make them look bad to their peers. I think there is a lot of good that can come out of having fun helping others/your city, but I think most citizens are afraid of the potential ramifications.

Hey - I was recently in a similar situation. Friend of 8 years, roommate, etc.

His arrogance, narcissism, having to be right about every single little thing (impossible to be wrong), built so much toxicity I could not take it anymore. I had to cut him out of my life, it was so toxic to me as a person.

I'm about three months out from it. I feel better. I feel less anxiety, he isn't stressing me, etc.

Now I can better focus on my own problems and continue building myself to my best self.

Hope your journey is going well!

I used to do a lot of stargazing with my telescope in Brooklyn back in the 1970s. My son now does a fair amount. We already have too much light pollution. Not to mention, the amount of objects that need to be tracked to prevent collisions with scientific orbiting elements. I remember the movie Hancock, and the red heart on the moon as a way of creating empathy in people. A soda or fast food ad, jeez...

I guess there will be a whole industry of garbage collection or destruction of space debris that doesn't eventually burn up in the atmosphere.

Given that they likely have paying EU customers for subscription, they operate in the EU area. Which means they can be subjected to GDPR. Enforcement would be difficult, of course, but not impossible (think of seizing credit-card payments or bank transfers for sales proceedings of printed NYT in Europe).

And GDPR violation fines can be massive.

In a startup, by definition you don't know what you're doing. Once you know what you're doing, it's not a startup, it's an established business. Once everybody knows what you're doing, it's called an industry. It's usually fruitless for a startup to chase after problems that everybody knows how to solve, because somebody has already solved them, probably better than a small team of junior developers can.

Experienced developers spend most of their time thinking because experienced developers tend to work in fields where at least the problems are known, as well as some best practices for solutions. That's how they got to be experienced, after all. But this is also why experienced developers, when they choose to found startups, often end up with B2B startups that slot into an existing industry structure, not startups that end up defining the industry.

(Source: experienced developer now founding a startup and wrestling with just how little all that experience matters when it's not even clear what problems will dominate the industry or if the industry will even come to exist.)
Exactly. Even my personal VPN (Streisand) running on a cloud-hosted VPS is not safe if I decide to become a criminal. All LE would have to do is subpoena my hosting company and monitor incoming connections.

A VPN may slow a nation-state down a little, but it will certainly not stop them.
No problem. Preclinical work is indeed called preclinical work :-).

Typically you do a bunch of in vitro and in vivo studies when developing your drug candidate. When you're ready to file the IND (asking permission to test on humans) you do a different set of studies specifically to generate the data you need for your submission. Sometimes the agency will even tell you where its concerns may lie so you might use a specific animal or specific test to address them. You also include a lot of in vitro work about how you manufacture (and control the mfg of) your test product.

The difference might be that you take and process a lot of samples in your R&D stage, and then when you prepare your submission you get independent labs to do the work (to show the agency you don't have your "finger on the pan" so to speak). For example on a depot-injectable drug I worked on we did six experiment sites per guinea pig (because we knew tissue diffusion would be only a few millimeters) which saved us time and a lot of money but when preparing for the FDA we did only one per, so we could guarantee to them that any trace of drug found anywhere in the tissue came from a single injection. Likewise we did a lot of pathology ourselves just peering through the microscope (and learned a lot!), but for the FDA we had the animal lab send tissue samples directly to an external pathologist who then sent us a report without any input from us. Etc.
Classic agency tactic, pitch two good ideas and eight bad ones... Client gets the illusion of choice and the agency gets creative control.
And this is why we're likely going to go extinct. We consistently choose short term comfort over our long term viability as a species. The climate catastrophe is a perfect example of this. Nowadays, most people recognize that it's a problem and that it will likely impact them in significant ways in the future, but they are unwilling to sacrifice anything in the short term to tackle it. Perhaps it's time to consider the fact that humans are just not viable long term. Most species that ever existed went extinct, and it looks like we're not going to be an exception. The only difference is that we're going to go extinct knowingly.

> Bro-Truck Owners Are Deliberately Blocking Tesla Supercharger Spots

> I generally like people, which may be why I never fail to be surprised when I encounter people being truly unrepentant dickheads for no good reason whatsoever. That’s what seems to have been going down at a Tesla Supercharger in Hickory, North Carolina, where a Tesla owner was attempting to charge her car, only to find the Supercharger spots blocked by at least three pickup trucks, with the trucks owners chanting “Fuck Tesla.” What the hell?

The problem is that electric cars are associated with "Believing In Global Warming" which is associated with Blue Tribe. Red Tribe will fight this.
From the same article:

>For more than 20 years, he donated half his annual income to philanthropic causes, particularly those institutions that helped develop his mind and form his character.
I just back tested this to 2012. If you put $10,000 in in 2012, and just invested in the S&P500, you'd have $23,046. If you just did VTI (Vanguard Total Stock Market), you'd have $22,754. If you do 60% domestic and 40% international (VTI and VXUS) you'd have $19,325. If you did the recommended 3 stock portfolio (VTI 42%, VXUS 18%, and BND 40%) you'd have $16,668.

So while they all made money, the three portfolio made the least money. Unfortunately the Vanguard ETFs don't go back before the last recession, otherwise it would be interesting to see how the numbers invert.
There are many other reasons that affect that not the least fishing.
> The controls don't look or work right at all. On Windows, it's less bad, but still noticeably non-native.

And how native do the controls on electron apps look? IME these apps always look completely alien and won't use the native controls with the native theme. I see this criticism frequently and it seems like people hold Qt to a higher standard than electron and then dismiss it because it doesn't meet that higher standard.
so after 5 years the battery in my laptop is just toast.

can anyone comment on what happens to an electric car after 5 years? 10, 20?

There's no reason why pickup trucks need to have the MASSIVE flat grills they do today, other than aesthetic preferences. They're a disaster aerodynamically as well as for pedestrian safety. Obviously there's a lot more to it (like the bed) but it's a start.

CitusDB has a ton of limitations on your schema/table structure right now. Over time it has gotten better, so hopefully in the future it will be a true drop-in scale out solution. Specifically some types of relationships + indexes are not supported.

In most democracies in Europe the head of government is chosen by parliament, not by some third party. The current setup is precisely how things were in the Kaiserreich. I did not get to elect most people in the European council, right now the guy representing Germany is someone that does not even speak proper English and was send off to Brussels because he failed as [Minister President](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnther_Oettinger).
Isn't Rivers Casino (right near Ohare) in Chicago city limits? I've been there, and they definitely have all sorts of video gambling, but maybe they were granted an exemption?

I've been to Rivers a few times with the intent to do some light gambling ($200 cash, no more) and ended up not wagering a single bet. Just landed my butt at the bar instead. I'd rather a reasonably priced McCallan than a minimum $50 wager for a hand of blackjack.
I still love Airbnb, but I have the same feeling that I’ve always had about it and Uber and Lyft and every other sharing economy disruptor - the existing industries had evolved the way they had for reasons, and the associated regulatory structures around them also evolved for reasons. After you have enough thefts and rapes and murders and property destructions over enough years, Airbnb will necessarily look a lot like a hotel chain, and Uber will look a lot like a traditional taxi company, and so on and so on.
This is a big deal. The F-Series is the single most popular vehicle in the US, and nearly 900K of them are sold every year!

In fact, the top 3 models in the US are F-Series, Silverado, and Ram, so the environment will definitely appreciate the electrified competition the F-Series will force.
My point is that you arent actually making an argument here, just saying things that doesent support your claim.

Laptops have constraints on the battery - ultra-thin etc. Cars are different, they just want lightweight. So it'll be more than 5 years.

To get big miles, have to change the battery pack I imagine.

Eww. TIL, thanks.
I really hope they don't ignore fuel cell technology or other phase change energy storage systems when they do this. Batteries are not convenient for the vast amount of their consumers in non population dense areas. (For those of you from cities, an F150 is a status symbol everywhere else in the USA).
That's how it works in Sweden.
Seems to me that having the commission as a % of the sale price is not the right way to go. You lock in with an agent for 3 months and agree to pay them a set fee when they/you sell it. You should pay as a buyer for an agent to represent you. Currently, if I'm not mistaken, all most all agents get paid by the seller and, if you are a buyer, the agent has no legal responsibility to watch out for your interests.

The current situation exist due to a slow long-term evolution of events but seems like won't change any time soon. Sort of like how wage controls during WWII encouraged businesses to pay for your health care and it is not taxed, but you don't get that tax break when you pay for it yourself. An insane situation, but next to impossible to change.
The last few years are an outlier -- the US had a historic bull run and international stocks underperformed significantly. The point of the 3-fund is that it's a solid strategy no matter what the market looks like.
Keep in mid the F-Series are sold as fleet vehicles too. Electric utility vehicles have a place.
I had a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid up until the end of 2016. Mileage did decrease to about 27mpg avg from about 29-30mpg (it actually decreased to 24-25mpg for a while but I just needed to replace the engine air filter... whoops). Ford dealership offered to replace the battery for somewhere around $3600 IIRC.
In this sense I would like it if site took advertisement more seriously. Asking feedback, allowing personalization, selecting a few "endorsed" ads (as a quick and cheap Boolean review).

For Google and Facebook it doesn't make sense, but for a newspaper i would expect some selection on the ads they show.
Not so far. VTSAX and VTI are basically the same thing.

If you put $10,000 in in 2012, and just invested in the S&P500, you'd have $23,046. If you just did VTI (Vanguard Total Stock Market), you'd have $22,754 (and VTSAX would be $22,731). If you did the recommended 3 stock portfolio (VTI 42%, VXUS 18%, and BND 40%) you'd have $16,668.

So while they all made money, the three stock portfolio made the least money. Unfortunately the Vanguard ETFs don't go back before the last recession, otherwise it would be interesting to see how the numbers invert, or if they do.
It's impossible to tell exactly what would have happened in a bankruptcy, but the entire company would have almost certainly been restructured, which would have meant generally clearing out the dead wood: shuttering factories, renegotiating anachronistic/extravagant union contracts, etc.

Coercing private citizens to pay for mismanaged companies and subsidize the gold-plated pension benefits of Baby Boomer employees is utterly immoral.
I look forward to it. My F150 gets between 19mpg and 13mpg depending on the gas and the temperature(!) I'd love to spend less than $90 at the pump

Replacing the battery is always possible, I'd imagine if the electric components are built well, it's likely that with battery replacements you could make the truck last even longer than it would with a more mechanical machine.
I would like to understand this better myself. If we dedicated some resources and say... a year until launch, could humanity (current state of tech) build something that could catch up to this thing in a reasonable (2, 3-5 year?) timeframe?
A certified Ford dealer will be more than happy to sell you a replacement battery.

The income tax is low, but property and sales taxes are also high. Want to buy a drink in Chicago? You're going to pay around a 12% tax on that drink. In Illinois, they get you coming and going.
Current generation lithium-based batteries will be recycled into batteries for non-automotive applications, e.g. fixed-location storage, etc. It's a wear component, just like cars have always had wear components. If/when a viable contender technology reaches manufacturing at scale, allowing for very-high charge/discharge cycles, that picture will change dramatically. There's currently a ton of money and R&D effort being driven in this direction, so we'll see what emerges.
Yeah if I can find the data I'd back test further, but I suspect you'd be right.
I don't think the grill is significant - the 'whale' shape is supposed to be near ideal.

No, its the box in the back that tanks pickup mileage.
Attention Economy Is a Malthusian Trap
The most important part of the article is that is shatters the myth of having a co-founder to succeed. The stats don’t say that two founders are better than one, it fact is the opposite, more than one is WORSE.

So what would be my take-away; if you are thinking of pursuing a business, and have the energy, contacts and network to make it, go ahead. However if having help from a valuable co-founder who you trust is possible, then compromise, and get a helping hand. Otherwise is better to go it alone.

My thoughts on this is that index funds shouldn't vote in shareholder elections, for purely selfish reasons that mirror the reasons why they don't try to evaluate stock prices.

The remaining voters are already voting in the company's best interest. Index funds don't have a comparative advantage at making voting decisions, so they shouldn't pay people to do it.
"likely", "maybe", "possibly" can all be used differently.. Especially if you take it out of context of the rest of the article.

I have never said countries from the EU would not be impacted economically by a 'no deal' scenario. It would be bad for the whole continent. I was commenting on the "the UK will be perfectly fine, the EU is the one in trouble". Nonetheless, the economy of the UK is hugely dependant on the EU (financial services, JIT manufacturing, etc.) and the UK will greatly suffer from a no-deal. Quoting a highly biased and very specific article from a man who has been pushing for Brexit from the very start will not change the facts; a man, by the way, who said that leaving the EU with no-deal was more important than respecting the Belfast agreement. By the way, he also said that the UK would be even around 2030 (and he is a rather optimistic individual when it comes to Brexit): https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DqTgF9QXQAADxR5.jpg (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/shortcuts/2018/jul/24/t...)

I also hope that I am wrong, but I can definitely feel a xenophobic underlying tone in your message. That's regrettable.

Yeah, I read that article when it came out, and it seems that these guys were trolling hard. However, I'm willing to bet that once a truck fan (not the ones in your article) drive an electric pickup truck and experience all the low end torque that it puts out, they'll quickly become converts.
