I prefer the windows at the narrow end. Gives me more useable wall space. In fact my current apartment is much like your image (though with a bedroom on the side) and my previous was more like one with windows on the long side.

I've got a lot of books and board games that I keep in shelves, and so the much increased wall space allows me to place them more comfortably. I'm not interfering with light sources and I can secure the shelves to the wall so they don't fall down if my dog runs into them. It also makes it easier to keep the place cool in the summer since there's far less surface area to worry about.
What's even worse is the people who do that simple guessing vs. actually doing the task ruins it for others -- eventually the Amazon mTurk AI thinks that your correct answers are 'wrong' due to a mass of others garbage responses. Thus your accuracy rate goes down and you can't qualify for many or most of the new mTurk tasks.

The news about the Social Security fund being insolvent right around when gen X was due to hit eligibility has quieted down in the last decade. I figure it's mostly because the media has largely forgotten gen X exists, instead focusing on the boomers and echo boomers, the millenials.

Bessemer's last round was a series 'B', by then the bits and pieces would have all been in place, whether it was public or not isn't even all that important.

At $55M in funding they won’t be undercutting anything - quite the opposite, they’ll need to turn a healthy profit or die.
The only reason China lets foreign companies operate in their country is to steal from them, while temporarily enjoying their capital injection. Pretty par for the course in communist countries. Except China does it with IP, technique, etc; while other countries might have let a US company build the entire oil infrastructure and then just take it over once it's complete.

Ultimately, that's most every field aimed at helping people, though. In order to make things better, you need to define which direction "better" is. This comes with a mess of thorny problems. Medicine gets it easiest, but even the seemingly objective goal of "healthy" comes with terribly hard ethical questions.

Psychology has it much worse. What the heck is "better?" Is being a jerk a psychological disorder? Psychologists have a lot of trouble defining diagnoses, and then they have trouble deciding if any one person matches it.

This happens with government, education, public works projects, you nave it. If your goal is to improve things, it comes with an opinion on what an improvement is.
Sometimes people have "bias" due to experience with reality, but definitely any result you dislike should be repeated again and again. It's obviously a big problem for science when reality is coherent.

Just curious: how much do you pay your accountant? A single federal/state personal return done by a pro goes for anywhere between $400 and $800 around here, compared to $80 or so with TurboTax. I can’t imagine the difference between an accountant and me doing my taxes to be more than that, especially with a “not terribly complicated” return. Are your taxes really hundreds of dollars less just from hiring a sorcerer to do them?
> But to do it "properly" for most people - where properly means getting the most back that you can legally get back - then it's quite cumbersome and involves a lot of reading.

I would bet that the majority of Americans get more back through the standard deduction than with itemized deductions.

The challenge is that race and culture are often tied together. In 1920 New York the Irish and the Italians would have effectively treated each other as different races. As culture homogenized, those ‘racial’ differences also faded away—now everyone is just European. It’s a challenge to maintain your culture within a dominant culture while not suffering socio-economically.

> If P = NP, then we can generate solutions to very hard problems as easily as we can verify given solutions to those problems (both in polynomial time).

Knuth himself, for example, has casually expressed the opinion (not a proof) that P=NP in the past. When you say "as easily" it belies the nature of polynomial time questions. If it turns out that we can produce an algorithm for 3SAT that is O(n^1e72), then that will in fact prove that P=NP. But this does not make any practical problems "easy".

Incredible analysis. I wish there was more! In my experience over the last few months on r/politics, the bots are extremely easy to detect just by reading the new feeds (especially in megathreads, they are everywhere).

For example, the most common elements are:

- repeated copy+paste comments (every 5 minutes or so) that follow the pattern: "I'm literally shaking and crying, I'm a democrat and so lost! Everything is over! Trump is innocent and I'm literally crying". Various accounts will comment various interpretations of this every few minutes.

- "lololol trump is innocent, where is your apology stupid libs" Intentional lowercase, no care for grammar, and direct insults to "the left". Again, these will repeat from the same accounts and others every few minutes

- "now that the report shows exoneration and the president will be indicted you libs lose!" No understanding of the words' meanings. Using 'indicted' to mean the opposite of what it means without knowing, etc.

- Most of the comments will be deleted after being called out, or will be deleted within 30 minutes regardless

- "the report says no more charges will be filed, maga!" Again this is just a lie, total fabrication with no basis in reality.

- The bots will all align around a few "talking points" where they all use the same words and phrasing. These can last just a few days or sometimes you'll see the same ones for months. The "talking points" often have nothing to do with the news of the day and seem to be meant as distraction or other disinformation

- The common theme among all of them is that they spread lies, use coordinated disinformation campaigns, and aim to confuse and distract from reality.

The reality, of course, is the Russia is attacking the United States, our elections in 2016 were compromised and broken completely, and that we now have an illegitimate government that enables the attacks from Russia to continue.

Democracy is under attack. The Russian bots on reddit are easy to spot and hilarious to deal with, until you realize how much damage they are actively causing. From my eye, it seems like the attacks have dramatically ramped up recently - but I don't have the hard data to show it. Just my experience calling out Russian bots on reddit in the r/politics megathreads.

I used to have these feelings as well.

I'm soon to be jumping into a crowded market as well. Many of my competitors have had VC funding and do billions per year.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I can be far more nimble than they can. Doesn't matter if they try and stomp me. A bigger company will always do something in their own interests and piss off a segment of their customer base which means they will move eventually.

Not only that, because I don't have VC funding. I can always have lower prices CapEx and move it OpEx instead. As long as I am much lower costs compared to being with the incumbents then it's a better prospect cost wise to my customers.

Finally, better customer service, features, ease of use, pricing and roi to the customer is what matters at the end of the day. If you simply have a much better product and able to generate and retain trust in your user base. You'll be alright.

My advice. Just start the business today. Whether or not you get stomped on is neither here or there. What matters most is the experience you'll get vs in 5 years time when you wish you had started and still scared!
I tend to agree with the original comment, particularly for products that are still evolving.

We have a competitor who copies our features, but they don't know why we built the feature. The result is they end up copying the wrong stuff or tweaking the feature in a way that completely misses the point.

But, I agree with you in that creating a feature isn't an advantage in and of itself. Rather, it is the domain expertise that led to the creation of the feature that is the true advantage.

Remote teams can be responsible for both implementation and documentation.

I’m not saying that’s what happened here necessarily, but I’ve seen this pattern repeated before (less egregiously). Founders can only do so much and most people are completely ignorant of the value of a good API, so it’s not hard for an executive team to say, “make it like that other one,” instead of staffing out the proper team.

Their interactive tutorial with sandboxes is really impressive. That's a great onramp into actual usage. It might also be cool to have a good way to "eject" the sandbox into a functional local build.
As a Gen-Xer, I think that cynicism had its roots in both the 80s and 90s with the number of companies that left our parents out to dry with disappearing pensions and people doing the math to realize that Social Security was unsustainable and would be gone by the time we retire. And somehow our generation was expected to support all of society including the generation behind us.

I would postulate the opposite - I would have thought because we believe that neither companies nor the guvmint would be there to support us, we would have fended for ourselves better (I know that's how I personally took it, and many/most of my friends). But you might be right... sounds like an attitude of "ef it, we're doomed" set in.
Hey Rich if you're still lurking - I really like the Tutorial layout (even on mobile!) and how that all works. Is this something you built yourself or is there a re-usable component that I can use?

(Note: I am an academic social scientist who has done an MTurk pilot but never published anything based on MTurk responses)

Yes, this is true, but this is true outside MTurk as well. If you rely on the YouGov panel (people complete surveys to get points for t-shirts), or really anything else, there's a strong incentive to cheat.

This is why good survey research is going to involve attempting to bound fraud through a variety of measures: attention checks ("What's your favorite color? Ignore this question and answer yellow."), looking for straight-lining (respondents always picking the leftmost answer), looking for unusual contradictions (i.e. asking the same question in two, opposite ways and looking for people who don't have the expected relation in their responses), looking at the distribution of completion speed and scrutinizing the lower quantiles, attempting to log participants who take the survey multiple times through dummy accounts, etc.

Oddly, my experience was that Turkers were fairly conscientious. I know one theory for this is that many Turkers are in fact Turking on the job, and so their reserve wages are not about what they are being paid for the MTurk hit, they're about what they're being paid to sit in their desk and not work.
There's definitely a benefit to working on the same model/series more than once. Three fourths of my amateur mechanic hours are split between asking "now why won't this darn thing come loose?" and "Oh! So I didnt't need to take all this apart to get to this piece!"

Bad news the native lands are gone. Gone is the little layer of topsoil, gone the biome. And your laws fix it only where poverty is not so bad it constantly subverts all laws. In other words your approach is a reality blind first world approach, destined to fail the moment it runs out of money support fashion and sb pulls the ic-plug on the project. Mine is about rolling with the punshes, fast forwarding inevitable evolution. Bamboo comes to mind. Now that is a forrest which will survive us.
Haha, I know what you try to prove here, but you are 100% wrong. I'm the one who spends most of the time with the kids. Their mom has a serious career. So no, this doesn't influence their preference.

The legal concept of corporate personhood demonstrates the issue.
The #MeToo movement became visible to many of us (particularly us pink-skinned American men) on Twitter. Was it born on social media? I guess not so much. It was born, I guess, in conversations between people who were the targets of Gamergate and other much older systems of oppression.

These oppression schemes have been around for ages upon ages. Witness the gospel accounts of the crowd chanting "Crucify him, crucify him" about a particular outsider troublemaker a couple of millenia ago.

Social media amplified the movement. And social media called the oppression to the carpet. Is #metoo a violent mob scene? Is it the same dealio as the stuff on Facebook about attacking the Rohinga in Myanmar/Burma? Or the stuff on radio about the Hutu-Tutsi violence in Rwanda? Those are hard questions to answer. I personally don't know.

I suppose it's up to us all to stop short of exacting revenge, while insisting on justice. That's probably the hardest task ever to confront humanity. We gotta try.

Perhaps you didn't realize that going against cultural bias (your term in another comment) make many people uncomfortable.
You set up the HIT the wrong way. The correct way to do this is to assign the same URL to multiple Turkers and look for cases where people disagree in order to verify the response quality. Granted it's still possible that both Turkers assigned to the HIT could commit fraud in the same way, but surely just as a matter of chance this bounds your error rate pretty substantially.

I am a fan of conformal cyclic cosmology. It sort of goes like this: Pick a spot, that's you. After the big rip, all other particles are beyond your hubble horizon,
you can not affect them and they can not affect you. Its just you alone in the void, whiling away the aeons. This is a very low entropy state, just like the start of the big bang. So the very end is indistinguishable from the very beginning, and the cycle starts all over.
