This is a thoughtful idea. What is the Brave endgame after they win a new browser war? Their model would encourage users to donate to spread BATs to creators, but it would be a small portion who did it. They could try to add a premium subscription, but again a minority of users would pay. Probably, it ends up with pressure to turn ads back on like the Adblock extension did, or to pay users to watch ads in a gamified way?

The alternative seems to be either ads/tracking (chrome), or directing people towards search engines owned by competitors (Firefox).

Then again, their whole tech stack is built on a competitors work too. All browsers depend so much on Google now its crazy

You also are not helping make the case that the Common Lisp community is fine. Your response completely ignores the actual issue which makes it feel like a passive aggressive attack.

By the same token, if, as a developer of software, you presume that it’s incumbent upon people spending their own money to buy hardware that caters to your software design, one should not feel bad if users ignore your project and use alternatives that are compatible instead – namely X.

If Wayland developers truly do not care about adoption of their software, then that’s fine. But it means that UI frameworks which do care about adoption will have to continue to support both X and Wayland as backends indefinitely, increasing complexity. That’s okay for now, since removing X support would be a long way off in any case. But if enough years go by without at least a plausible route towards being able to remove it in the future, they may eventually decide to address the complexity issue by dropping Wayland instead.

1. These rich people like to start lean (some of them)
2. This way of conducting business gives equality of opportunity
3. Therefore, these lean-starters will be drawn unto them and use them. Eventually, when they invest in their own ideas (remember what I said that it just so happens that the investor is themselves?), they bring their big money to this company

> Look at a few labels of various sodas. You'll often find things like phosphoric acid, artificial colours, artificial preservatives, caffeine, artificial sweeteners etc.

This is still just the Natural = Good, Artificial = Bad fallacy. You can't just list some stuff with chemically sounding names and say "look - scary bad chemicals!". What specifically are you claiming is bad?

You went from "soda has other bad things in it" to "probably, possibly, maybe" as soon as you had to be more specific.
Very glad to hear that. Will get in touch now. Thanks for sharing it!
If the term didn't already de facto mean something else, sure.

But since it does, at least in American English, your readers are going to understand it a different way.
> There's nothing wrong with studying condensed matter physics, and there is a huge amount to learn. But I don't see a conceivable way in which discoveries made by studying complex behavior closer to our scale will help solve quantum gravity or dark matter.

Interestingly, this does actually work out. Excitations in solids are often described by quantum field theory, and many of the exotic ideas of field theorists in fundamental physics turned out to be things you can actually find in a sufficiently exotic material.

No, I'd link them to relevant videos that helped me in the past, and then maybe link them some more later on to help them further increase their skills after learning the basics. These hypothetical videos were interesting and helpful to me, and I figure that since I found them interesting maybe my friend will too. That's what it sounds like YouTube is doing, only they get money.
Not the worst thing in the world. I have trouble reading code with very long identifiers. Conventionally, a line of code should not exceed 80 characters or so. That's pretty hard if identifers are 60+ characters by themselves. If your project has standard abbreviations for things, "63 characters ought to be enough for anybody"

> The software ecosystem is not well served by everyone being focused on the same few familiar programming approaches. Sure there are economies of scale—better tooling, programmer fungibility—but there is less intellectual diversity.

Then it seems that the problem has more to do with political economy than with programmer culture. Capital and managers want programmers to be cogs, not artisans.

Can’t expect programmers to change this political problem, either. Especially considering that the nerdier the technologist, the less political he or she is.
Looks like they have lowered the limit (500 email addresses instead of 2,000) and the pricing (10/mo instead of 60/mo). So the math is roughly the same as when I passed on it before.

As for nitpicking, I think you've got me beat with your last comment. Unfortunately you missed (or purposely omitted) the part about 500 addressees instead of 2,000, hence this reply.
The book is lays out the full argument as opposed to a quick summary of the argument. It's moderately technical. I don't think it would make sense without a background in physics.
It may be entirely appropriate and deserving, but the person saying it is usually just shooting themselves in the foot. The employer, at the end of the day, does not care. It is temporary catharsis, but all it can do is hurt you in the long run.
This is a common rationalization taught to educated true-believing mormons. While it is true that the age of consent was lower than today, according to the contemporary census (1890s is what I have records for, Smith's relationships were 1830s-40s) age of marriage was about the same it is now (http://i.imgur.com/HnQjG67.png).

Whats more, looking at comparable relationships contemporary or even before Smith's time, let's say Sally Hemmings and Thomas Jefferson (15 and 45 respectively) in the late 18th century and you can clearly find plenty of condemnation of the age disparity between the two.

I'm sure there were others who were fine with men like Jefferson and Smith preying on teenagers, but it does not mean it was considered ok then.

IMO, they should look at commercializing NUQ (Moffett Field) in Mountain View and make it the new SJC. It would be a great location since it's not surrounded by a city as with the current SJC.

One downside though would be it would add to the already crazy traffic in the 101-237 corridor.
It's actually hard to find anti-mormon anything. There isn't as many people who have something in particular against the Mormon church as Mormons were raised to believe (including me - I'm an ex-mormon). Most of the compaining is by freethinkers who are against religions that are overly strict or exclusive (Mormons are encouraged not to date or marry outside of the Mormon church even though Mormons call themselves Christians, for example).
Frankly, what you just wrote is what I want to hear in an interview. That you were first and the team grew around you and if mistakes were made how what would you do differently. To me, the company/team talk eats away at the limited time in the interview and doesn't generally matter since we are not hiring your company but how you helped is very relevant.

I will slightly demerit people if I have to resort to asking what they individually did as opposed to the team and a lot if I still don't get a good feel for it. I realize at large companies it can be hard since you might be the guy that maintains a small section of a website but I prefer upfront honesty to having to sort it out with more questions.

"Bountiful has come under intense scrutiny for its involvement in the polygamous sect. Warren Jeffs, who was one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, is thought to have visited a dozen or so times in 2005. The Vancouver Sun on January 28, 2006, released information stating that Utah's Attorney General is collaborating with British Columbia's Attorney General in attempting to deal with polygamy and the alleged abuse in these communities. Jeffs was captured by the authorities outside Las Vegas during August 2006 during a routine traffic stop. On September 25, 2007 Jeffs was found guilty of being an accomplice to rape. Prosecutors said Jeffs forced a 14-year-old girl into marriage and sex with her 19-year-old first cousin."

You might like Greenstein and Zajonc's book 'The Quantum Challenge' is talks about a lot of the research in the foundations of quantum mechanics, which is a thriving field in its own right. It's also incredibly subtle and basically impossible to sell popular books with. The book I mentioned is most emphatically not a popular science book.
Humans store saturated fat because it's stable and calorically dense.

I'm actually not against saturated fat, I'm just not against sugar, or any other macronutrient. The food matters more than the macronutrient composition. If your argument against sugar is that it's converted to fat, I don't really follow, especially given you're a proponent of a high fat diet.

Would like to see those studies om sugar and fatty liver (compared to other macronutrients).

Also, why do you believe saturated fat is necessary? Okinawas eat a very low saturated fat diet (traditionally) and have great longevity.
For what it's worth, at least in the US there is still alot of navigation that is doable without GPS, and in fact is supposed to be done without GPS.

For example, have a look at this high-altitude chart, centered on the Falmouth VOR in Kentucky, south-east of Cincinnati:

https://skyvector.com/?ll=38.641546637139996,-84.30027471561...

The triangles are airspace fixes, which are defined one of two ways:

1. The point where two radials (one each from a different VOR) intersect. For example, HICKI (http://www.airnav.com/airspace/fix/HICKI). This requires both VORs be operational, and that you be able to receive both VORs at the same time. If one of the VORs has DME equipment, then the fix also falls into the second type, below.

2. A point on a VOR radial, some DME distance away. For example, PETES (http://www.airnav.com/airspace/fix/PETES). This requires a VOR with DME equipment, and an appropriate receiver.

The black lines (such as J24) are routes that can be navigated using just VORs. No satellite-based navigation is needed, although fixes do have GPS coordinates published. J routes are used in the US at and above flight level 180 (FL180), which is 18,000 feet and a hard-coded barometric pressure of 29.92". Below that are the V routes, which serve the same purpose, just at lower altitudes.

By contrast, have a look at the blue stars on the chart. For example, OCASE (http://www.airnav.com/airspace/fix/OCASE). That is a fix that is _only_ defined by GPS coordinates, with Q routes connecting them (although you will often see a Q-route start or end at a fix or VOR). Q routes are used for high-altitude navigation in the US, with T routes used for lower.

My understanding is, for VOR-based fixes, J routes, and V routes, the VOR receiver is supposed to be the source of truth, with GPS acting as a backup. If your flight plan has you going VOR—for example, Charleston to Indianapolis via route HVQ J24 VHP—then your FMS should not react any differently if GPS acts weird. Show an alert, sure, but not cause the plane to freak out.

(Of course, that doesn't help for surface uses, like vehicle navigation…)
He doesn’t have a programming language. He has a series of YT videos.

That's a great find. A noteworthy (to me) feature was the height of the orbit -- they're at ~1000 miles above the Earth's surface. This indicates that they were unaware of the Van Allen belts, which makes sense, in 1955, no artificial satellites had yet been launched.

Edit: Also noticed the dramatized mission has a "free-return" trajectory, no maneuver required at the moon to get back to Earth.
To add to this, AFAIK there are two main reasons why they still have AMDGPU-PRO: it has the more compatible, better-performing OpenCL implementation (which you can run alongside Mesa, actually), and until recently it supported slightly different display features, and more compatibility profile functionality. As Mesa becomes more compatible with bizarre certified industrial applications and, and the upstream AMDGPU kernel driver enables more exotic display features, I suspect AMD might choose to just maintain Mesa for these GPUs.
Hey, I fully agree. We software engineers do such an embarrasingly bad job negotiating for minimally healthy working conditions or wages that more fairly reflect our contributions to profits.

A totally reasonable heuristic if you’re looking for a job that won’t make you miserable is to just wholly avoid start-ups. To be clear, this is a heuristic even for people who are looking to work with modern tool stacks, be given responsibility they might not be given at traditional companies, gain exposure to business or VC insight or networking, etc.

Start-up jobs don’t offer those types of things.

The cartoon at the top of this article (squinty eyes, fatty short figure) makes me uncomfortable, as it edges pretty close to old racist depictions of Asians and Blacks from half a century ago.

That said, the article itself takes a negative and biased approach to evaluating China's government. China's system seeks, and achieves, representation of its people through a variation of a social contract that has lasted - and been updated and modernized - through thousands of years.

China's current Communist Party is measured against specific outcomes, the livelihoods, outlooks, and possibilities of the people of China, which have never looked better (the next century has been dubbed by historians the "Chinese Century" based on the demographic, financial, cultural, and technological success of China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Century). That same party is measured against corruption, and recent efforts in the country to excise grift and nepotism have given its government new efficiency, purpose and effectivity.

Old Western power centers (Europe pre-WWII and America post-) may have some anxiety about the the relative loss of leadership that global scandals, lost legitimacy, financial crashes, and systemic corruption have wrought in recent years. Its with this anxiety that I find articles like this written: China is, and has been, doing something right, and the West needs to look at its own failings and correct them to succeed and keep pace with 21st century dynamism.

Sure, but most business decision making is based on hand wavy made up math. Like, how do you decide to build a feature or switch programming systems? Does it not relate to customers or revenue?

Also, yes, don’t have the numbers be BS or fail to include other useful narrative in your resume. But I so often see none of this, and leaving it all out is a sign someone hasn’t had to justify their decisions at that level.
The article doesn't answer the most important question about the fremium model -- how to balance it? Because the best possible conversion rate is only possible when the fremium is balanced correctly. I've been experimenting with fremium models for a few years and understood that the key to balancing freemium correctly is to precisely understand the value that your product creates. Then the balancing becomes simple: if a user doesn't see much value in the product then it's free. If the product creates significant value for the user then it's premium.

Giving away for free a product that creates significant value is charity.

Trying to charge a user for a product that offers little value will limit your user base and market awareness.

If you don't understand exactly the value your product creates then you are in trouble and not being able to balance fremium correctly is only one of the problems in this case.
