I think the biggest opportunity in this industry is automation of the survey process (as a whole). It currently requires big expensive ships with big expensive sensors with lots of manual data processing from people getting reasonable wages because they have to stare at a computer screen in some fairly nauseating conditions. The big ships tend to send companies broke fairly quickly when there is a downturn in the market (i.e. no exploration).
An autonomous survey vehicle has the potential to massively reduce the survey costs (as long as it was reliable).
My family lived in Thailand when I was teenager, and this is how it worked there until just before we left (around 2013) there was a new law or something, and you actually had to physically go to a place, fill out a form, and show your passport just to get the stupid sim unlocked. At least in the US you can do it online or through the phone.
I expect they'll reverse this. Twitter is literally just bots arguing with bots. That and every political operative has like 20 sock puppets to drum up 'grassroots support' for whatever they're shilling.

They should put Cheeto on the payroll, he's the only reason they're still relevant.
Doing so forgets the human side of the equation. There is technically a couple ways to avoid the fee (eg: self-certifying as a bicyclist, walk to work or carpooler) which give the city fairly accurate data as to how people get to work.

Meanwhile, employees feel better about their emploer giving them a "free" transit pass rather than a tax funded passes for all plan. It creates a surprisingly strong incentice for people to switch companies to one that will give them a transit pass (particularly among the $100+k a year workers).

Employees literally feel jipped when their employer doesn't give them a pass, I don't think you could create this kind of positive incentive to be a transit rider any other way.
>Couple that with that we now know how Russia (and ostensibly others) are using social media platforms for manipulation, and it just seems rather suspicious.

TikTok's parent company is a Chinese tech company headquartered in Beijing, so I would be astonished if it wasn't a stalking horse for some kind of PRC surveillance.
Regardless of what you think of Google, the reality is Fuchsia and Android have little to nothing in common. While they would certainly rather have a permissive language from the bottom up, they certainly wouldn't have written a whole new OS with that as the primary goal.

Android's platform design would arguably have been considered modern in 2007 or 2008, but it is 2019, and the cracks in Android's capabilities have been widening for a while. Sometimes people still think of Android as "newer" in the operating system space, but it's a decade old!
"Users logging in for the first time after the order were prompted to give their birthdate, but TikTok’s own interface defaulted to putting in the current date while also not making crystal clear to users why it needed that information and what could result."

If you can't work a birthdate field in 2019 you should not be on the internet.
Nice. I guess it's like twitch streaming except you can see someone else working too.
By leasing office space from wework you become part of the In Crowd
Issue in entertainment system on Tesla 3 may allow arbitrary code execution
Conflating WeWork, Uber, and SaaS businesses is inaccurate.

With a SaaS business - most of which are b2b - there are tremendous costs to switching providers and going without is typically not an option. For example, if company uses Salesforce, they must have a CRM and it will likely save them little to no money to switch to a competitor (ex. Hubspot) but it will create enormous organizational disruption as people and processes are built around the existing platform. So customer life-cycle is likely 10 years or more for the customers that generate the majority of their revenue. And if we do have a recession and they bleed customers, Salesforce can always reduce costs by cutting sales and support staff. The existing capital investments in the software are already paid-off.

In comparison, WeWork's model is predicated on being easier to join and leave than a typical office space. As a result, they attract businesses with shallower capital reservoirs. Meanwhile, WeWork is holding inventory risk in that they hold the long-term lease or the property itself. So in the event of a recession their customer base will be the first to die out or cut costs via less desks and/or working from home.

(WeWork may or may not be off-setting this risk via financial engineering but the question is at what cost as someone has to take the other side of the bet and the downside risk here is pretty obvious. And, oh look, the yield curve just inverted.)

Finally, 10 years in, Uber is still a commodity business. I generally think Uber is better than Lyft and worse than Via, but none of their advantages are anywhere near as durable as a SaaS business. Don't like Ubers new prices? Don't like the the CEOs new haircut? You can use one of their other competitors starting tomorrow. Even if you use Uber today there is zero reason you can't switch to Waymo/Apple/whatever in the future. And in the worst case scenario, Uber paid CAC to educate consumers who will use something else in the future.
Huh?

"Though state leaders have not ironed out details, they had reached consensus on Monday that the plan was necessary to help pay for much-needed repairs to the city’s beleaguered subway system."
You can even delegate to people that don’t love doing it but will happily volunteer for their own sanity. For example, I hate interviews and phone screens but if someone asked for volunteers I’d jump on it because I hate being stuck with a bad hire much, much more.

You can also ask for volunteers for something you want to delegate and if none are forthcoming try out rotating it. Consistency might suffer but at least you’re not making one person shoulder something the entire team doesn’t want to do.
He was MikeCrawford here. I don't know how to search users

This is his last Youtube Video and only one I know of:
https://youtu.be/3dGTmjUXH0Q

Weeks before his death.

He did Busk to earn money because he couldn't find contracts and he rejected Google and Amazon because he considered companies like them evil. He had an Interview with Google but turned them down. He had a contract to build drivers for OSX aka MacOS but wasted his money on a Litecoin miner that didn't even pay for electricity.

He claimed to live like a hermit but would often go to strip clubs and do hazardous things.

His weakness was accounting even with GNUCash he just couldn't do it. He was supposed to report it to social security but missed the deadline and lost his Medicare insurance and his 'happy pills' that keep him from being suicidal. I myself am on disability and Medicare and looking to get off it as well.

I got the details on his death from his Facebook user wall, there are people writing on it.

You have to create a virtuous cycle of transit ridership improving somehow, adding more busses when the riders aren't there generally doesn't cause a surge in ridership.

Dedicated lanes, singal priority, off-bus payment and fining employers that don't provide transit passes is a proven way to start the cycle toward high transit ridership.
How about solve the problem? The issue is not fake data. It is chargebacks due to stolen credit cards. So, the easy solution is to accept cryptocurrency. If someone chooses to use a credit card, then sure anal cavity search them. But someone paying with crypto should not be subject to that.
The European counterparts give substantial discounts to motorcycles. Probably won't happen here. Port authority only gives $1 off (< 10% discount) now.

The Big O of an algorithm does not change based on data size. Even if your set had precisely 1 record in it - the code you write, if it loops over every item in the set (even if it's only one item) - is still O(n).
I’m not an accountant so I’m not sure if there are specific rules that would make this not applicable to SaaS, but the thing you describe is precisely what proper accounting is designed to solve. If you buy a factory this month and then use it to make widgets for the next 10 years you don’t show a huge loss when you buy the factory, but rather capitalize the cost and then depreciate it over the useful life of the factory so that in every period you can match the revenue with the associated costs. Shouldn’t customer acquisition costs be similarly capitalized over the expected life? If the company is actually profitable then it should show a profit not a loss. Any reason why this isn’t more common among SaaS businesses?
I submitted a PR to fix it :D https://github.com/kubernetes/website/pull/13417
A more succint way of explaining it is that WeWork is just a real estate company, and real estate is about achieving positive cash flow (rental income > lease or mortgage expenses), not "profits" since a lot of the profit comes from selling the appreciated properties down the line.

I can back this claim up. I was unable to verify my Citi credit card over the phone using my Google Voice number, they insisted on a non-VoIP number which ultimately delayed the verification process by a week.
Another is Credit Karma. And others have said Zelle no longer allows it.

Would love if someone made a list so those that have moved to VoIP wouldn’t need to waste time.
Right... I mean, they said MULTIPLE times that it would have multiplayer. Not just an implication, but straight up saying "you could encounter other players, but the likelihood is so tiny because of the size of what we're building" and that "you can't see yourself, so the only way to know what you look like is for someone else to see you" (these are direct quotes from Sean Murray, not paraphrasing). The box even had an ESRB rating for multiplayer that was covered up with a sticker for one that didn't rate it for multiplayer, at release.

They said you could grief other players. They said you could customize the look of your player. They said you could land on comets. They said the animals eat each other. They said you wouldn't have to ever gather resources if you wanted (which I guess is technically true if you're alright with also doing absolutely nothing else the game has to offer beside walking around on your starting planet).

I guess you could argue that these were all some sort of vision of a "future state" and not representative of day 1, but there certainly weren't any qualifications added to the statement in any of his interviews, and there's plenty of evidence that they actually intended this stuff to be in on day 1 but simply didn't have the time. Which is fine! And I think we should praise them for committing to turning it into a game that is actually amazing. But they definitely did betray a lot of players at launch.

Peripheral nerves are well known to regenerate, but the spinal nerves do not (or very limited).

We do not want nerves to regenerate in most cases because it could cause even worse results. If you start regrowing a batch of nerve, you have a chance of growing out nerves that transfer pain signals into places you don't want them to be, which could cause persistent neuropathic pain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5290455/).
I suspect tourists would be frequently paying this when they get in a cab from the airport. Most commuters do not drive into the congestion zone anyway, they generally park-and-ride.
For almost all of these rules, I can think of multiple phenomenal, respected writers who break it regularly.

It's pretty likely that a certain set of rules works for a certain writer and the content he wants to create, and it won't work at all for someone else.

The only reliable, universal rule for being a good writer that I've ever come across is: practice.
Firstly, you suggested:

> Let's hire some low wage employees to spend just 1 hour per app which is generally enough time to determine if an app is at all legitimate. That's obviously 200,000 man hours.

But folks have already been down this road, and the ugly fact is that you can't source folks to do work like this outside of metropolitan areas. This is why already this work is outsourced to areas where low wages are common but infrastructure is present.

And you'll find, as several businesses I've worked with, that the difficulty of validating these jobs is very high. Turns out, you essentially get half the work you'd think you would.

Secondly:

> The United States is not California. Here [1] are the US poverty lines. For 1 person, it's $12,490.

Sorry, I just assumed an average family of three with a single wage earner as the default, which is like $20.5k for most guidelines I've read. [0]

> - A private company engaging in behavior to create jobs and offer increased value to their customers is not the "language of socialism."

It absolutely is, and its historical success in America is exactly why capitalists have adopted it as a talking point even when it's not actually their goal in any scenario.

Apartment rents spiked during the last financial crisis because people downsizing increased demand for them. It's entirely possible that downsizing companies might want to retreat from leases to smaller WeWork offices during the next one.
I don't think there would be any issue with signing your datagrams, you just can't obscure the content of the communication or its purpose.

So yea on authenticity and access control, nay on transmitting ciphertext.
You're wrong. n lg n grows asymptotically slower than n^2, and is thus is O(n^2). n is also O(n^2), as is 1, or even sin(n). All of this follows directly from the definition [0].

Also the fact that you're plugging numbers in for n indicates to me that you don't actually understand big O notation, which is surprising since the original article is decent.

I happen to prefer the exactly opposite - I don't want to run the browser (or a browser-wrapper), I want app to be native.

<rant>Websites lack solid, consistent and platform-native look-and-feel. They are always limited, they aren't integrated with the operating system (i.e. task switcher), they are slow on almost anything (because modern web browsers are ugly giant behemoths. I've recently built myself a very beefy machine (16-core CPU, 128GiB RAM) and even now _sometimes_ sites are still choppy. On mobile, lots of sites are performing poorly.</rant>
Except Peter's most recent failure, Godus, never got finished and had work stopped on it pretty quickly. I have much less of a problem with breathless dreamers who keep working and find ways to make their dream reality rather than moving on to something else and abandoning their supporters when they get bored.

> they outright said something was going to be in the game and it didn’t happen

Haven't most if not all of those NMS promises been fulfilled?

As someone who played a fair amount NMS and Godus, even at launch NMS was a much better and more interesting game than Godus and it has only improved.
There are plenty of kernels they could've started with, so I'm willing to say that the motivations are probably at least somewhat technical.
yes, I'll try to sum up the article as i understand:

* better process isolation

* stable hw/driver api (this is a huge mistake in linux, agreed)

* less historical craziness(who likes fork()?)

* more micro-kernel

some of the things I personally cannot buy:

* vulkan native. android is not vulkan-native, it provides both opengl es and vulkan, for your choice

* flutter. why bundling and bringing opinions to the system becomes a benefit? it was a major problem with android that you have to interact with java if you want any native ui => I would prefer more ways/languages/bindings to interop with the UI

* fidl ipc. cool, again, why bundling something with the os?

* vDSO. why is even vdso on the slides - vdso is important, but it already with us for a decade.

This article is great because its one of the first that breaks down Fuchsia on a tech level. But at the same time, its not an article that explains all the reasons the fuchsia is better that what google have now.
Le sigh.

This sort of thing is why I made phitbone.com
Does ssh or telnet have a similar feature? Transmit in plaintext but prevent others from tampering with my box?
Would the sole "solution" to that be recompiling the kernel yourself with that functionality enabled/coded in?
One contractor I worked with took their original software designed to run on IBM TSO/JES2 type mainframes and added a rough "GUI" to it. The parameterization of the modules was identical but instead of entering everything into columns and rows like a set of digital punchcards the user could simply fill out a field and the new software would insert that information into the correct row-column. Then they rewrote all of it from the top with a genuine GUI and sweet graphics and we all laughed when the only thing that worked at their initial demo to the processing groups was a band-pass filter. Minor problem for them but a real hoot for us.
Hello Games didn't kill or hospitalize anyone, though. I realize you're making an analogy, but a sense of perspective is warranted.

Who's we? I too am down with OTP, especially OTP on seL4. ;- )
I'm generally amazed at how the 3-round burst as implemented in M16 even made it to a combat firearm, it's just so broken all around. Like the part where it never resets, and cycles even in semi-auto, so when you switch to burst, you never know if you're going to get 3, 2 or 1 rounds? Or, conversely, if you cut it off before the cycle is over, then the next trigger pull will just continue that cycle, with the same result?

From what I heard, this even affected semi-auto accuracy, because the trigger pull would vary a little bit in different stages of the cycle, making it harder to get that perfect break. Do you recall anything like that from your personal experience?
I used to think I hated all meetings but what I actually hated was pointless meetings, especially ones that could be hammered out in less time asynchronously via email or chat. I learned about the distinction when I dealt with a manager with some unaddressed control issues. Of course that was just the tip of the iceberg but it was a standout symptom of a bigger issue.

It’s ok to try to unload bullshit but it’s also important to make your employees feel like you trust them. If you shield them too much and firewall everything they can end up feeling like they’re just workhorses that can be swapped out.
It's more like someone who says they will drive you somewhere but when you get in the car with them they reveal that they can't drive, but they are going to learn over the next few months and they will definitely drive you were they originally promised just as soon as they've done that.

I agree with you that free add-ons to games are great but they shouldn't just be the originally promised functionality
From what I could see when a friend who had set up there dragged me along one day, top knots and brogrammer wantrepreneurs. The feeling I got was that it's the shared workspace version of a "see and be seen" restaurant/club/whatever.

This is some great detail, thanks for sharing.

> A channel has 2 handles, h1, h2, write messages from one end, and read messages from the other.

This seems like it's bound to be a critical section for many operations. So for one/some of the supported target architectures, what's an example of how channel write/reads look in detail? Do I need to trap or can I write "directly" into pages that the recipient can read? Can messages span cache lines?

I believe that Fuchsia sounds ambitious and it's only through the dedication of mega-tech corps like Google/etc that ambitious efforts like this can succeed. But the world in general, even the tech world, is loathe to accept change. Backwards-compatible layers to emulate the linux syscall layer would probably be a critical transition feature. This allows consumers to phase in the work required as they can stomach it, rather than suffer it all-at-once-or-nothing.

How hard is it to port Fuchsia to a new target? Can anyone point me to a series of commits for a target that does this?
Can you elaborate / link me to more info on this? I'm curious about this WebAssembly-PWA-everywhere land I don't live in.
