But BST would mean waking up an hour early all the time and that's its own kind of hell. Your body doesn't care for where the hand on the clock is and the standard 9am work start time is meant to allow you to get up at some normal time around 7 or 8am. I would rather have a normal sleep schedule than an hour of sunlight in the evening. Just wake up early and use the morning light if you need it.
It's not about being proud, it's about showing how having such a behavior is not absurd. I don't walk around talking about my inactivity.

In my case, that's only two months a year. Someone else might be that inactive for the entire year.

Think older people, people with disabilities, physical or mental health issues, etc.

Sure, I don't sit for 8 hours a day while at the office but it's pretty close to it. I have a 30 minute lunch where I walk to the cafeteria and stand while waiting for the microwave. I also have a 15 minute break in the afternoon where I walk to the most comfortable spot of the building and back again.

When it's not -22ºF outdoor I squeeze some outdoor walking time in during those breaks.

I hate stationary cardio on machines and can't stand harsh cold weather. My exercise is done hiking up trails during spring, summer and fall.
I would have liked to see a bit more comment on the algorithm itself in the article. But I suppose I can find that elsewhere
I've heard that even if you flip the "algorithmic timeline" switch off, you still don't see a linear feed of everyone you're following. It's still filtered and manipulated, just closer to linear.

Speaking of design decisions, here's a bit [1] about how the "quote tweet" encourages the behavior of "dunking", a usage I have only ever heard in regards to Twitter. Basically, if anyone with a Twitter account says something you think is stupid, you quote tweet them and "dunk" on them about how stupid it is and they are. Then everybody piles in and retweets the "dunk", perhaps adding their own riposte. And the original poster is only a click away in the quote, so you can then go to their profile and find other things to dunk on, send mean DMs, etc.

I know I'm being pedantic here, but in psychology, negative motivation is when you take away something averse as a reward for a certain behavior. Negative here relates to the fact you're negating or removing something to act as motivation, whereas if something is positive, you're adding something (like a treat for a dog). What a lot of people refer to as "negative motivation" is actually positive punishment because you are adding something aversive (like a spanking) in response to a behavior you want to decrease.

It's important to keep this in mind when looking at scientific literature so that you know exactly what they're talking about.
I'm rather fond of Randall Munroe's theory:

I just think this is more of pendulum sort of thing. You can go too far in either direction. If I'm erring at all, it's because I've been in circumstances where a complex project suffered due to social agreement.

But for certain, you could go too far in in the other direction: completely ignoring everyone's emotions.

Specifically, if you're in an environment that's swung too hard in the direction of totally ignoring people's emotions, then my advice probably sounds awful.
Wow that's a really bad map.

You are not alone in that thought. I think it is interesting that someone at the NSA was interested in the Voynich manuscript came to about the same conclusion as you.

First All-Female Spacewalk Won't Happen This Week; Not Enough Medium-Sized Suits
Back in the good old days, when men were men and men were free, gambling was legal in many parts of the state of Maryland.

It was unregulated. Free Market(tm) cultists would have loved it. Local municipalities were free to license gambling establishments as they chose with little oversight from the state. Maryland was surrounded by states in which gambling was illegal.

The Free Market(tm) saw such innovations as people building barges in the water on the Maryland side of the state border and then connecting them to land via docks and bridges to Virginia.

It was a golden age of Free Market(tm) Capitalism, where men were men and men were free, ahhh... the good old days!

In the 1960s, Las Vegas, Nevada and four counties in Southern Maryland were the only places in the entire United States of America where slot machines were legally allowed to pay out winnings in cash. Slot machines blanketed the entire southern half of the state and were found in every single business, to include doctor's offices and gas stations.

Unregulated, Free Market(tm) gambling brought with it a wave of crime and destruction that makes the troubled neighborhoods of today's Baltimore look like peaceful oases of quiet and safety and the gambling-fueled violence shocked the residents of Maryland so much that (until very recently) it was outlawed in the state, with few exceptions.

One of the few exceptions was horse racing.

As a condition of being allowed to continue operating, horse racing and betting on horse races was strictly regulated.

One of the regulations is that the races can only operate at facilities designated by the state, at times designated by the state.

The law that covers the use of eminent domain to retain the Preakness is not new. MD Bus Reg Code § 11-520 has existed for decades. It was the law when the current owners of the Preakness bought the rights, and obeying it is a requirement of their license.

The Free Market(tm) is incapable of supporting horse racing in Maryland, due to its reliance on public subsidies to continue existing.

The subsidies exist because tax revenue from gambling pays for the subsidies. The 50 or so gambling events per year pay for the facilities used year-round by other non-gambling equestrian activities.

The Free Market(tm) cannot be allowed to operate unfettered because absent strict regulations, piles of bodies tend to wash up in the Chesapeake Bay, their throats slit by organized crime gangsters fighting over their cut of the gambling revenues.

Ahh, the good old days! When men were men, men were free, men were free to murder their rivals to control the flow of gambling revenue, the Markets were Free and capital ism'ed.
How to Hire Senior Technical Talent from Across an Ocean
This is so untrue.

There's a whole class of devices that will never be in linux mainline kernel - experimental filesystems(remember those years wher FUSE was a patch?), propietary hardware(embedded devices), kernel bypass hardware(onload), security hardening mechanisms(remember PaX?), commercial software who basically sell the driver(intel studio profiler).

All this breaks every time linux releases a major rewrite. If the vendor is out of business or no longer interested in a product - you are left with the drivers that do not work.

Moreover - in a case of major api breakage - its kernel contrubutors who are left with re-writing every driver for a new api, delaying the kernel releases.

Reading and writing the alphabet, yes. The grammar and pronunciation rules for speakers (not the pronunciation itself)? English is quite a bit more difficult than most people realize.

You can learn Pinyin in a few days, which is sufficient for you to pronounce any Mandarin Chinese romanized into Pinyin. Chinese grammar is fairly simple compared to Latin languages. Whereas English is a rats nest of special-need-to-memorize pronunciation rules.

Most of the real difficulty people experience with Chinese comes from the shock of learning the characters.

What you describe is exactly what I'm building - https://songsling.io

Didn't want to explicitly promote it here in the thread, but I'm building it to serve as a general music-content engine for artists (also for my own music, let's be honest) that will let you upload composition parts and the player will put them together on the fly. It already has interactivity built in where you can serve a different version of a track based on changing inputs you connect from your Internet presence etc. Plus, you can DJ with it, it supports smoothly changing playback speeds. It needs to happen.
Okay, that seems to directly contradict my actual memory of the game! I'm absolutely going to have to confirm that. I distinctly remember reading 'Richard D. James', and recognizing the name, as I was a massive fan of 'Drukqz'.

Strange how memory affects us.

EDIT: And whom lucky enough to own one does not remember the Dreamcast fondly? ;) Crazy Taxi, Quake III, Skies of Arcadia, Ecco, THPS2 - I'd argue the ratio of quality software to shit software was literally almost 1:1, compared to, for instance, the PS2, where you might get 1 great game for every 10.

one thing they could and should be doing is enabling those conversations with potential customers right now so you can validate the product/features you're building as well as have them be ready/aware to use your product when you do launch.
There was an interview with Eno in Wired in 1995 [1] that i still think about sometimes. Amongst other things, he talks about lifting himself to the next meta-level of composition, where he doesn't write music, he writes rules for a box which makes music:

Q: If I could give you a black box that could do anything, what would you have it do?

A: I would love to have a box onto which I could offload choice making. A thing that makes choices about its outputs, and says to itself, This is a good output, reinforce that, or replay it, or feed it back in. I would love to have this machine stand for me. I could program this box to be my particular taste and interest in things.

Q: Why do you want to do that? You have you.

A: Yes, I have me. But I want to be able to sell systems for making my music as well as selling pieces of music. In the future, you won't buy artists' works; you'll buy software that makes original pieces of "their" works, or that recreates their way of looking at things. You could buy a Shostakovich box, or you could buy a Brahms box. You might want some Shostakovich slow-movement-like music to be generated. So then you use that box. Or you could buy a Brian Eno box. So then I would need to put in this box a device that represents my taste for choosing pieces.

"I agree. The first thing I thought was that someone will build a script that creates a Twitter account then simply uses Twilio's API to create a valid phone number to receive verifications."

Unfortunately, this will not work.

Twilio numbers are not "mobile" numbers and cannot receive SMS from shortcodes.

So while your twilio number can send/receive SMS just fine, it can't receive SMS from a shortcode.

As of my recent conversations with multiple Twilio engineers at Signal 2018, there are no exceptions to this rule - once a number is owned by Twilio it ceases to be a "mobile" number and networks providing shortcodes cannot send SMS to it.

In my experience, all banks/twitters/facebooks/etc. use shortcodes to send their auths/2FA/etc.

So it won't work, I'm afraid. I have heard, however, that there are some smaller twilio competitors that provide true mobile numbers but I forget the name(s) of those providers and honestly, I would be worried that those numbers would get blacklisted or filtered in some other way.

There's a reason other carriers refuse to send shortcode SMS to "non mobile" numbers ...
The problem with an X-crossing like that is the angle at which the crossing happens. A driver needs to look all the way over his shoulder to see a cyclist he's about to hit. For the improved crossings you see in e.g. the netherlands the cars and cyclists cross at a 90 degree angle, meaning the driver has a much easier time spotting cyclists.
Why Execution Is More Important Than Planning
Without much more detail than this, they don't sound like cofounders. If they're waiting until you launch to go 100%, then you're assuming all the risk right now.

Again take with a grain of salt, bc I have no context, but , if there's one you think is clearly the best, that you like working with them, get them to be a cofounder and make them go all in. They can do lots of manual work to validate the idea/product (ie manually do things you'd like your product to do). If there's noone you could see doing this, then their role is probably not going to grow that much when there is a 'product'.

Also: the product will never be done, and framing launch as a binary event doesn't help you (or your potential cofounders). It's all just a continuous spectrum of trying to cover as much scope/utility as possible for your users, and using a product to try to automate that. After 7 years, you'd be shocked how much stuff my sales cofounder does manually that we had framed as a 'required feature for launch'.

It's called counter-revolution.

Many revolutionary movements are eventually co-opted by elites (often the elites of the overthrown system) for their own purposes. Sometimes the new system put in place after the counter-revolution is worse than the system the original revolution sought to overthrow.

The cypherpunks foresaw the dystopian surveillance state decades before the reality and tried to get out in front of it via cryptography. But the raw economics of central service network effects completely destroyed a distributed, control-your-own-keys world. Going forward there are always proposals for a state-controlled "third-key" on all encryption.

Likewise, the gatekeepers of the old system (record labels, Disney, etc), have always used the state to enrich themselves. The Internet caught them off guard and they tried to fight it in the early 2000s with lawsuits for file sharing, which hurt their public image greatly. But centralized services came to dominate distribution once again. And now we're seeing obvious self-enrichment with these "reforms."
And how does that change the explanation, "People have their own, often highly idiosyncratic ideas about what's worthwhile and how they want to spend their money.", one way or another?

>Booker found this odd trio of 16-digit integers by devising a new search algorithm to sift them out of quadrillions of possibilities. The algorithm ran on a university supercomputer for three weeks straight.

So...did he just brute force it?

EDIT: Should've read further down. Looks like, yes:

>But usually, solutions are “nontrivial.” In these cases, the trio of cubed integers — like (114,844,365)³ + (110,902,301)³ + (–142,254,840)³, which equals 26 — looks more like a lottery ticket than anything with predictable structure. For now, the only way for number theorists to discover such solutions is to play the mathematical “lottery” over and over, using the brute force of computer-assisted search to try different combinations of cubed integers, and hope for a “win.”
Darpa teams up with NSF to develop ASICs tailored for ML applications
As AOSP have shown us - having an opensource license is one thing but having a control over the course of the development, control over what features get implemented and merged - is something very different.

Any project can be opensource but still under direct control.
I’m not convinced this is a recession signal, as much as it’s a reflection of the new normal for worldwide central banks.

Put the 10 year in context: in Japan and Germany and other stable countries yields are negative. So you have to pay to lend those countries money, because the central banks are pushing yields negative.

But in the US you can actually get a modest (but real) return on the ten year, so it’s quite popular. This popularity has pushed the price lower and flattened the curve.

And while recession may not be in the cards for the US in the next few years, the next ten years is a whole different story - so given the newfound dovishness of the Fed given European and Chinese weakness, it makes sense to lock in some yield in those ten year bonds now.

I don't want to be constantly writing/maintaining abstraction layers over CF to make it half decent.
You may as well use Terraform at that layer of abstraction because at least it frees you of some lock-in and has more sane state tracking (which too is pretty abysmal but we aren't talking about a high bar when comparing to CFN) but I digress.

You seem to be missing the point here, it's not that you can't do things with CFN, you can. The point is k8s allows me to administrate a system that puts all of the machinery behind a nice unified API that all of my developers can consume without requiring an SRE to make every change and be there to hand hold them through setting up a new service.

It may be more complex but that complexity quickly pays off with the amount of stuff now solved in a self service manner.
Sure some stuff needs to get much better, there are poorly understood primitives like Service and Ingress that could do with better docs to help explain to devs when you should use one and why.

Overall things are much better than the "AWS as an abstraction" way where everyone is clamouring to use some half baked AWS garbage service rather than just doing the old tried and true thing (screw Kinesis for example).

I live in a neighborhood that very closely fits the definition of upper middle class suburbia, and the power balance is most assuredly not in favor of complainers. Quite the opposite in fact.

I also think you do a disservice to this discussion by suggesting it is just innocent people going about their lives that are being held back by the evil complainers. From my perspective it is the assholes driving their damn two-cycle quads up and down the street for hours every morning where there's more than half an inch of snow on the ground. These folks are not going about their lives, they are entertaining themselves at the neighborhood's expense.
