I get 2-5% cash back on my American Express Platinum card in the UK...

There are higher cash back cards also the cash back is usually capped on a monthly basis rather than on a flat %.

So far for this year I have £341.92 cash back on the card.

Mind you that this isn’t a new card I had it for 5 years.

Have you discussed working from home a day or two a week? This does wonders to my productivity.

In summer I often take my laptop and sit on a bench close to the office. Not quiet, but a lot less distracting than the office.
It started with Baby Boomers. Generations prior to that didn't pay nearly as much attention to generational cohorts. The whole idea of generational cohorts feels like a marketing construct, and its adoption into the normal lexicon coincides with increases in middle-class wealth and expansion in the advertising industry.

Prior to boomers it was just "kids these days"...
The housing crisis is how we convince more people to work more jobs for the benefit of retirees. The cash flows towards rent winds up in the pockets of real estate owners, and the cash flow from mortgage payments winds up in Agency bonds largely owned by retirees.
There is a known method for stopping people from drinking that involves the patient taking a drug which prevents any pleasure-able feelings from alcohol and then letting the person drink as much as they want. After the third or fourth time, the person naturally avoids it.

This entire field is completely messed up. One of my favorite movies this year is from India, I don't usually see Bollywood movies but Manikarnika rocked. It opened in January and now, it's been out on Amazon Prime since Saturday:

https://www.justwatch.com/ca/search?q=manikarnika

In Canada.

In the USA?

https://www.justwatch.com/us/search?q=manikarnika

Not so much.

This only drives piracy -- it obviously has been ripped and it is available on torrent.

Other side of the coin, I subscribed to Amazon Prime to watch American Gods and it takes more than 24 hours for the latest episode to get to Canada from the USA. It is literally faster to drive across the border, record it and drive back. That's insane. Oh and there's no indication of when it drops. People posted the question for UK and there's simply no answer.

I honestly can say, I tried to move away from piracy -- I have been pirating things since 1985 -- but when I look at https://twitter.com/awealthofcs/status/1110254374192889857 and the availability, I despair and just want to give up. I have the money but having all of these are just annoying. Every service has its own interface and problems. Like, you can't Chromecast Amazon Prime unless you cast the browser tab and that sucks quality wise. And yes, quality! Amazon Prime is not always 1080p but what I torrent is always 1080p and never degrades. Netflix is better quality wise for sure, it was the first I subscribed to watch their Marvel stuff... but I am really not keen on having eventually eight or a dozen different services to search when I just want to watch a movie and deal with the quirks of each.

Piracy is a service problem and these guys are making the service worse and worse every day.

Ps. try searching Roku stick on Amazon.ca , the first result is "Roku® Streaming Stick | Portable, power-packed player with voice remote with TV power and volume | US version – Not intended for use in Canada".

It's running an instance of lolisafe, here are some other sites (many which do allow for registration): https://github.com/WeebDev/lolisafe/wiki/Sites-using-lolisaf...

I don't allow sign ups. It's for me and a few friends only. I pay $5/mo and host my own images - after I grew sick of moving from pomf.se clone to pomf.se clone as they'd all eventually shut down.

Image/File hosting isn't profitable, Sir_Cmpwn [1] has a good write up on why it simply isn't a profitable/good business to get into. In fact, if you read the replies to Sir_Cmpwn's post you'll see I replied... and was using mixtape.moe at the time. And guess what? safe.moe, my other listed option, has shut down too. So it has been 2~ years before both of the image hosts I was using have shut down. safe.moe shutting down is actually why I began hosting my own images with my own domain.

The problem is they don't scale. Once you stop being niche and become popular - the cost to host everything starts growing exponentially while the people willing to donate does not. You'll eventually be spending more on the server(s) than you earn from it. You tank. You shut down. Then someone else thinks they can do better and the cycle continues. This is why there are very few free [0] file hosts that are capable of surviving for long periods of time. I've ran the math once and assuming I grew to 1,000~ regular users a month, I'd have about a years' runway before I'd have to begin charging users or shut down; assuming no donations and none of the 1,000 users are particularly abusive of the service. With donations it might last two or even three years, but it would be an inevitable shutdown as I wouldn't be willing to pay to provide the service past that point. 2-4 years is how long I could use a given host before it went to shit (suffered from the "poison" of needing to monetize to survive) or shut down (couldn't monetize well enough), so it seems like my math isn't too unique to myself either. And this is just the financial side of things - there's the whole administration side of banning abusive users, dealing with DMCA's, dealing with child pornography, and the tech side of scaling, upgrading servers when needed, etc. It's a whole lot to take on.

Sir_Cmpwn, if you happen to read this, I suppose you can add mixtape.moe to your list in a 2019 update. :)

[0] Typically ads somewhere, but many are donation driven by supporters willing to pitch in.

I genuinely had no idea that you could produce bare object files with ilc. This is so exciting to me, as compiler work has ended up being the majority of the work that goes into pure-managed OSes. Guess I know what I'm going to do when I actually have some free time, down the road!
> What kind of micromanager

The kind that's looking out for people watching Netflix movies all day instead of working. That's right - they're willing to kill the productivity, engagement and loyalty to the company rather than actually doing a little bit of management and paying attention to who's actually doing work. And we're letting them get away with it.
You're just getting started. Most of what you are feeling is temporary (like all feelings). You will grow with your challenges.

> its soul-sucking and stressful.

Remember that you are still creating software - you are just doing it through others.

> I've started setting aside a (very) small portion of time for coding, just because I miss it so much.

That's a very good strategy. Aside from keeping you happy, it will help you to understand what the team is doing. It will keep you grounded and help you gain respect.

> Ever wake up and realize you are going to spend the first two hours of the day rescheduling meetings... again?

It sounds like you are already a pretty good people manager.

The next thing you need to learn is to manage your time. Your goal should be to do as little as possible. Your todo list should be empty by 5pm.

1. Learn to delegate. Only do the things that nobody else can do well enough.

2. Learn to say no. If you say "yes" to a task, remember that this implies saying "no" to another task that you could have done in this time.

3. If you cannot do something now, snooze it so it disappears from your todo list/email inbox until you can do it and does not distract you in the meantime.
Wow! Thanks for the self-promotion :-)
Polar looks perfect for an academic environment. From a quick look the only thing missing is some kind of bibliography/doi integration.
On actual macbooks libinput feels like a significant downgrade to synaptics, the mouse speed + acceleration is way off and not configurable via a gui, and other things you'd expect to work, like three-finger-click, don't. I actually downgraded back to Xorg after trying Wayland for a while. Just getting up to par with synaptics (that has natural scrolling on) would be great.
I feel like there's strawmanning going on too. I don't know of any 'AI alarmists' that are saying gardening and hospitality staff are going to be replaced anytime soon. What are being discussed are radiologists, financial analysts, call center staff etc.
Same thing, I had no idea either! I was trying to figure out how to even use the native compilers on the side but never found the time to really sit down and do it. This seems like exactly what I needed to get started!
well right now in news we get stories with the different points of view, and just the points of view talking past each other. I want news that deals in raw hard to get data, and that monitors the data continually on a day to day basis. ie. for disaster relief in a country, to report neighbourhood by neighbourhood how much is being received and by who and in what quantity. basically it would require a ton of work, and would be much easier to achieve that level of coverage in a single city at first -- but basically try to have omniscience source of knowledge, and where knowledge is being blocked or obfuscated to identify that.
One can even say it is so egregious they could and should face legal challenges.

Stripe de-platformed us because their payment processor (Wells fucking Fargo, paragons of virtue) didn't like what we were selling, which was fantasy adult toys. They tried micromanaging the complaint, asking if we could remove "flesh colored" options, but we weren't going to get dragged down into that. Ridickulous.
Cute visualization, but the data is sketchy and handling of modern megalopolises is really inconsistent. If greater Tokyo is currently in the top spot at 38M, then greater Shanghai and greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) should be #2 and #3.

It matters because the dollars stay in the US and something must happen with them. So it's not like we are just sending them money and getting nothing in return. As soon as they are exchanged for pesos, that means someone else bought dollars and is going to do something with them. Some industries are priced in dollars but the only major country where people actually spend dollars (without exchanging them) is the US.

A trade deficit means overall the other country is buying more investments instead of goods. But those investments are in the US. To actually spend the money somewhere else they would need to exchange it again.

And those investments in the US aren't inherently a bad thing. If it's just buying US government bonds and the government not doing anything productive with that money it might be a bad thing though.
I couldn't understand how the "twist the loop" step works until the very end, where the penultimate animation reveals that the hook end moves in clockwise direction, whereas throughout the earlier parts of the articles I thought it has to move counterclockwise. I think this step needs to be slowed down (with more intermediate frames), and to have some extra depth cues.

Still, great work! I enjoyed it.
The other answers you got are good ones. Tangential I know, but out of curiosity, what is your use case?
There was an issue with hibernate memory mapping that broke hibernate on my work Thinkpad for the first year or two that I had it.

Then at some point they fixed the issue, which if I remember correctly came down to "stop trying to be fancy and just do the straight-forward thing, which is correct". And since then I've had no issues.

I'm unclear why I had an issue with the Thinkpad but never had issues with any of the 5 or so Dell Inspirons I've had over the years.
They're mostly paid by people who carry a balance and incur interest payments. They fuel the rewards programs.
Well you basically made up reverse weight watchers. They assign points based on calorie counts (and I think healthiness factors as well but I could be wrong there). You have a set number of points per day.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the super helpful responses in here!
FWIW, those rules are relatively nuanced. It's not like someone ruled that Goldman can deceive all clients at all times in all transactions.

Typically it comes up in places where there's a question of whether the bank is responsible getting their client the best possible price in a transaction or whether the bank is acting as an arms-length counterparty who happens to be taking the other side of the transaction. It also depends on the sophistication of the client and whether it's a transaction where the client should expect Goldman to be bullshitting them.

Goldman acting as a bank for the Apple credit card is completely different from Goldman acting as the counterparty in a large FX hedge or bond deal.

Longer. I used it once around 2006 to pay for an academic conference that the university was reimbursing me for. Looking back, the university making me pay registration during one of the most cash strapped points in my life was crazy.

If they take this seriously then taking the time to “invest” differently in different kinds of games would certainly be wise. Different games have different metrics for success from the perspective of someone offering this service.

Obviously in the end it always comes down to profit generated per game but with a subscription service that can be hard or even impossible to measure.

Metrics for success can be playtime, number of times the game was completed, but also more diffuse things like whether critics like it or whether the press is writing about it.

So one would hope Apple picks a differentiated approach – but such an approach can be much harder to implement.
> This forces developer studios to produce games that one can't finish.

Do you mean games like Tetris that have no finished state? Or games like Factorio or Minecraft, which have a last goal but no “finished” state? Or do you mean like online multiplayer games where you play an endless stream of short games?

Your statement presupposes that there is an abstract notion of 'intelligence' that can manifest itself in qualitatively different types of systems. That might be true. But, so far, the only kind of 'intelligence' that seems recognizeable to us as such is the product of squishy bunches of biological neurons... maybe squisky bunches of biological neurons are essential to 'intelligence.'

Believe it or not, _you_ and you alone can fix this. DELEGATE! Delegate enough to get back SOME of that coding time. Block off 2 hours a day as "Free Time" or "Creative Space" a la Michael Scott from _The Office_. People will respect that.

At my prior place of employment in which I grew the team from 0 to 25 in 3 years, I eventually delegated all the stuff I did not like and empowered my team to own it. It sounds like you can do something very similar with the culture you have there.

An example: At first I loved phone screens and getting to know candidates. I refined and built that process from scratch. Once that process was up and running, it was no longer the best use of my time to be hammering the phones and scheduling screens. There was a better use of my time and someone else that REALLY enjoyed that aspect of team building stepped up. I was able to move myself to the end of the recruiting funnel which freed up 70-80% of my time allocated to that function.
The opportunity cost was simply too high for the company having me screening people.

You can certainly find a way to do that as well.

If you feel like chatting more on this, my email is in my profile. Good luck and don't burn out! Your work should be just as fulfilling as your team members work.
They were very careful to leave themselves and Mastercard out of that slide. This was not the case for the previous time they mentioned privacy, where they included themselves.
Is this the same for magazines? If true, this would be great. I can understand how magazine folks would want to be able to have more control over layout and such, and would therefore prefer PDF.
I had a thought once, years ago, about trying to work out the math behind the bezier curves that make up a cartoon image of a human face - it seems like you'd have to be able to work it out to a series of control points relative to some reference point. I never had the free time to pursue it, and the fact that nobody else never did makes me think I must have been underthinking how complex that actually would be - still, I find it surprising that you have to apply the complexity of a neural network before you can generate a believable cartoon image of a human.
Don't include beans on that list! They are the easiest of all to produce, as long as your summer isn't too terribly cold. Maybe you were thinking of corn?
Oh that’s worth a listen right now!
As a Fermi problem, to try to understand the overall scale, I was intrigued to learn that there’s about the same number of arable acres of land as people in the world. Naturally, neither of these things is evenly distributed.

In the place where my well-paying job is, it would be difficult for us to afford 5 arable acres on one locally top 5% income within a reasonable commute to my work.
I haven't heard the cupcake version. It does have something to recommend it, though raisins don't crawl. So that may make it harder to visualize the difference between how fast you're expanding versus how fast you're moving versus local space. Which is the whole point.

Importantly there's a limitation, which is that the CoreRT runtime doesn't support EFI directly so you won't be able to use most of what you're familiar with when it comes to .NET. But AOT compilation for .NET is maturing and can be used today for other exciting targets like WebAssembly. Perhaps EFI one day in the future.
So you are in fact recommending that anyone with procrastination problems take medications prescribed for ADHD, if they can? (And that they should be able to?) Any downsides in your opinion?
Without pesticides? As an layman I doubt it. A few friends in my neighborhood started a garden and one of us said we couldn't use any pesticides that weren't organic. Bugs and fungus destroyed most of our crops. We spent hours and hours sitting on our knees rubbing soapy water on the bottom of the zucchini leaves trying to get rid of the squash bugs, to zero effect.

I finally called enough and said we were dusting everything with sevendust. The next day all the bugs were gone. I have no idea how people could farm on the ground, in any quantity, without pesticides.
This was an awesome write up. The most interesting thing for me was learning that bottlenecks are not on the edge, but across the backbone because T1 carriers are optimizing for low cost, not low latency.

My system is simpler in that you don't have to count calories or anything, you just ballpark the amount of points you gain/lose based on how you ate. It's not about the points anyway, the points are just there for motivation, so they just need to be accurate enough to keep you from thinking it's a sham.
The focus on "AI" and its impact on labour markets is an important one, but definitely more "trendy" than others which may be why it tends to outshine the rest (like demographic change) - what it IS doing is sparking a great conversation though about the "navigation problem" that plagues certain demographics in accessing opportunity when confronted with rapid change (regardless of the source).

Echoing Autor's comments: "It’s a great time to be young and educated. But there’s no clear land of opportunity” for adults who haven’t been to college..."

We live in a world with almost infinite amounts of information, yet how we process and use that information (including labour market information) will be our next challenge. And understanding labour market shifts in the context of multiple forces AND their interactions (i.e. how does a job become automated in practice IN the context of a higher rate of retirement; what does a person actually need to perform well in a job, etc.) will require some novel innovation that I think data + AI can actually help us solve.

I think AWS and the other cloud providers owning the whole stack is what Jessie is thinking of with that statement.

Gonna call bullshit on that claim. I've seen estimates that an acre feeds 2-20 people. Assuming 20 people, that's roughly 2000 ft^2/person, which is 10 times bigger than the 200 ft^2 size of their larger model. Not going to believe packing plants close together is going to give an advantage of 40x more produce.
So what did you do?
