I think the point in the article about it being less useful if you already have a decent network is huge. What we saw in VC is that warm intros are so much more productive than even YC Demo Day leads (which are in turn slightly better than intros through requests).

If you can line up a large number of them (through having worked in the Bay Area a lot, through your past employers), then you have a huge leg up that makes Demo Day less useful
In my case (the GP here) no I don't care WHAT framework/language the candidate users. But they DO have to know how to use a webclient of some sort. And any person with experience in any common stack should be able to perform a data fetch. If you can't do that, you're probably not a fit as that half of what our microservices do.

Regarding whether my company would like, or needs another me, you'd have to ask them. I believe they'd say they would like several more of me. And there's nothing wrong with that. I provide a good amount of value.
Yeah, I mean it's not as if people haven't learned new things from their conquerors throughout the ages. For a modern example look at Japanese society now versus Japanese society pre-WWII. The US completely remodeled their society. While we have long since handed over control of their government to the Japanese people they continue to have strong Western influences in their buildings, fashion, and culture. It has a distinctly "Japanese" tint to it but if you visit Japan you'll observe largely the same social mores around commerce as exist in the US.

Within that context it's hard to believe that the European tribes simply forgot how to build roads or monuments or architecture after Rome ceased to influence them.
Most people are sold on Brave due to privacy / speed / battery life.

Baking a transactional layer into the browser allows things like rewards for ad participation, but I think microtransactions to pay for gated content will be the more interesting aspect over the longer term.

I only use and recommend Brave now, but have no intention of turning on ads.

Well the reality is that this setup is even more expensive than internal
talent! I have hired and manage a team of 5 people for data analytics work. Our IT keeps pushing us to user offshore resources at hourly rates instead (Capgemini, same crap as Accenture) that would end up costing the company 2-3 times more then our internal analysts. On top of that these people are not well trained, lack motivation, do mistakes everywhere and somehow always put the fault of all problems back to you, because you did not test well or not write all requirements etc.. I am saving the compay hundreds of thousands, I could save millions but I just can’t fight this all political mess alone. The interesting point is that my analysts do work in an offshore location, but we pay them well and we spend a lot of time training them on sound technologies, not the crap consulting comes up with. Also we kid ourselves thinking projects end, in real life projects become routine work so hiring people on project basis does not work, you pay them a temp work premium but it’s not temp work.
So, let me get this straight. If I set up an old computer in the corner and script it to just meander around the web 24/7 using Brave, I can rack up a ton of useless BAT tokens/currency/whatever?
I don't think the impenetrability analogy works, because of course you don't have to be able to enter a vault to know what's in it; whereas by the nature of the thing, there isn't some kind of alternative means of figuring out what a text says that doesn't involve comprehending it.

As to why I'm worked up: you're expressing so much disdain for any piece of writing that doesn't give you exactly what you want in exactly the form that you want it. A big part of a humanities education used to be forcing people to read lots of pieces of writing that don't meet that description. I think that was broadly a good thing. Reading shouldn't be a purely transactional activity.
We definitely have a big business case (>$1bn/year flows through our bitemporal data). Happy to vouch for you if I can. I work in the insurance industry, and daily face questions like:

- What was X's address 2 years ago?

- What did our database think X's address was 2 years ago, 3 months ago?

It's fundamentally impossible to answer those kinds of queries in a scalable way (parsing application logs is not a scalable way) without bi-temporal data.

I'd readily acknowledge that there are some types of data, for which having the capability to answer those queries is overkill. But, in the insurance industry, this kind of introspection is essential from both a compliance and correctness point of view.

Personally, if I were an auditor/government regulator for this industry, I would raise a big red flag over any critical data that wasn't bitemporal.

I would definitely vouch for its business necessity – so please, keep up your advocacy!! :)

While your points are far more relevant, I feel obligated to point out also, that no employer would wish to hear the thoughts of their employees, because it would not be at all pleasant for them to hear all of that. Imagine working with employees who say out loud exactly what they are thinking all the time. No one wants that, not even (especially?) control freaks.
Nim is an interesting language. Main features:

- Type system: Strong and static typings.

- Support Generics (Unlike Go)

- Support Modules (Unlink C++)

- Multiple and optional GC.

- Metaprogramming support.

- Executed binary.

What excites me most is the efficiency as C.

I hope it'll get mature more this year. At least for the Javascript backend, so that i could write Nim for frontend (with bindings for popular JS frameworks like React, Vue,..) , too.
Inflammation is tricky because you have accute (a hard work out, an injury, gingivitis) or chronic/dietary inflammation which is more akin to a reversible disease.

It’s like saying type2 diabeties or fatty liver disease are not diseases but symptoms caused by certain dietary habits. Though as I write this...maybe you are correct and we should look at these things like symptoms of poor diet and not diseases.
I just paid more, with a worse experience, to buy toothpaste for my dog (trying to make him die with a mouth full of teeth) because I don't trust amazon to sell me non-counterfeit products.

Over the last 3 years, I've cancelled standing orders for cereal, hand lotion, granola, cat food, dog food, dog shampoo, human shampoo and human toothpaste because Amazon isn't trustworthy. They simply don't care about counterfeit products.
You're also allowed to defend yourself when kidnapped. No such thing when the state does it.
The $7500 US Federal Tax Credit was lost for the first time in Tesla's history, dropping to only a $3750 credit. It seems like Q4 2018 "pulled a lot of demand forward".

IE: People who were going to buy Q1 2019 decided to buy Q4 2018 instead, to save $3750 more. Tesla tried to counteract the loss of the tax credit with a $2000 price drop, but that wasn't enough and that also hurts Tesla's margin.

The finale is a bit hard to read:

> As the impact of higher deliveries and cost reduction take full effect, we expect to return to profitability in Q3 and significantly reduce our loss in Q2.

So Tesla is now forecasting a loss in Q2 2019 (!), before growing profitable in Q3 2019.

-----

The "interesting" number to me is SG&A costs of $703 million, which is up from Q4 2018. I thought that Tesla was closing a lot of stores, which should have dropped SG&A costs down.

Perhaps the expansion to Europe + China counter-acted any drawdown in the US Sales force? Hard for me to understand the number.
in the nightly version of the browser you can.
Honestly I can't say if it's definitely the right course of action, although in the last few years there have been reports of millions of 16-35 year-old Americans leaving Facebook, only to move to Instagram. I do think the ability of these companies to buy their nearest rivals is an antitrust issue that needs addressing, for the health of this relatively new market, if nothing else.
Why do all those thinkpad bios logos feature anime girls? Also I am seeing one with that "Hitler and gas" meme. LMAO.
Sure. And orchestras can hire teams of page turners so that people can play more than 3 measures at a time without stopping. And conductors can . . . I don't even know what a staff that large would look like for a full orchestral score. I guess you can just give the conductor a screen and have it scroll continuously. And then the orchestras can hire an ops team to support the scrolling screens.

Starts to sound a lot like the same kind of thinking that gave us service oriented architecture and a new javascript framework every week. Just hire shitloads of more people to make sure it all works when it needs to. Because it's easier for beginners! In fact, with this new notation system that simplifies everything so much, you could probably fire all the older more expensive musicians in the orchestra and hire a bunch of juniors for a lot less money!

This varies between municipalities. Many don't have any requirements.
Can you explain why? The phase allows you, after having made a point, to invert that point then suggest an alternative explanation or perspective.

I read a few of the posts in the search results, and "That being said" felt natural in many cases to join sometimes contradictory positions or different degrees of the same position together into one fluid thought.

Someone can cringe at anyone. Without offering critique, insight, or alternative it feels hollow though.

Evil and amoral lie on a spectrum (with things like "altruistic" and "noble" on the other end).

Trying to fit things into neat little boxes so you can apply words to them isn't particularly helpful. What Facebook is doing is some form of wrong. They aren't murdering children, but still, what they are doing is not good and they are doing it at a massive scale, so the harm is multiplied.

Privacy issues are well known, there is nothing new here. Discovering family ties and stuff like that, many people see it as positive and that's why they do the test in the first place. White supremacist using it is just a childish argument, what do I care? it is their issue. Inaccurate databases only for Europeans? it fixes itself slowly as more people use it. This is the type of grievances against "white people" that honestly become boring if not worst, hostile and divisive.

The main problem I see in youtube videos is that people are ignorant and don't understand the results, questions like what is Iberian or black people surprised that they have some white blood, Italians surprised that they have some greek blood etc. But actually it is a good thing because usually those people learn something or two about geography and genetics from comments or just reading themselves.

Make sure you have a supported chipset, e.g. an intel one. Some cards need extra firmware, which you'll get in the first boot, so until that a network cable is needed.

One of the best things about OpenBSD is how connecting to the WiFi is done with ifconfig and how trivial it is compared to wpa_supplicant or NetworkManager.
No callbacks, so no forced heap allocation nor lifetime management . "oh you want to use FooGUI? First let me tell you about the object hierarchy and object lifecycle". No mvc. No custom, required data structures.

Brave is just an intermediary that replaces ads with other ads. It's an adnetwork delivered as a browser that creates ad inventory on top of the page instead of within it.

That being said, the tokens are basically worthless. This is not what the digital advertising industry wants and Brave is not going to get any decent advertisers with this. They'll end up with the same shady affiliate/performance marketers running CPA ads currently infesting all the 'content recommendation' widgets.
Working with bits and bytes in Python 2 and 3
You can perfectly represent music using a 1D representation, or 2D, it doesn't really matter because Musical notation is a cognitive problem, not a technical one (the latter was solved by Shannon).

It's not so much how do you encode pitches and timing information (this is trivial today), but how to convey the meaning of the encoding and how effectively a musician can recreate the piece from the representation.

Weaver pointed this in his forward to Shannon's magnum opus [1], on the topic of the three levels problems in communication. The first level, the "technical problems" are those of encoding information into symbols for transmission (in the abstract sense), whereas the "semantic" problems cover how one conveys intent or meaning behind the information (and that it is impossible for meaning to be clarified by the sender, in general), and finally the "effectiveness" problems which cover how the receiver conducts action based on the information communicated.

Musical notation is purely a semantic and effectiveness problem, and over the past few thousand years we have found that there is no optimal solution, and that listening to the original music and having direction or instruction are as important as the symbols on the page. The notation itself is a simplex transmission from the author (or transcriber) to the performer, instruction/direction helps make it somewhat duplex to improve (but not solve) the semantic problem, while listening is the end-all, be-all solution provided you have source material recorded and training to interpret it.

The forward to Shannon's theory of communication is really essential reading for all software/electrical engineers imo:

I prefer the author's version.

What you have gained in brevity, you have lost many times over in tone, pace and depth.

The author's repetitions are not errors - they highlight his insistence. Additionally, despite ample pronoun use, his text is clear and illustrative of his point.

> Frequently people act like being called racist is worse than actually perpetuating racism and that needs to change.

Calling someone a racist when they're not is just as bad as perpetuating racism. This is why people perceive your argument to be a personal attack, because it is.

> There is no process to engage in that sort of growth in character without promoting some level of discomfort.

If you're unwilling to question your own assumptions and experience discomfort, then you are also not growing in character.

Actually people can buy and sell BAT.

They just can't convert any BAT rewarded for ad participation into fiat right now.

It's on the roadmap though, but even then you'll have to go through KYC AML providers so there'll be no option of anonymous earnings.

While this is a 3rd party sale, it will be fulfilled from the inventory Amazon has from any other seller. It has to ship from the 3rd party to be safe from counterfeiting.

Something I experienced about 20 years ago - I threw my back out (just was sitting, and turned my torso - and that was it), major sciatica pain.

Went to the doctor. I was prescribed a certain stretching exercise, plus also 800mg ibuprofen, bed rest, etc.

I was popping the ibuprofen "on schedule" - 3x a day. At first, it helped some, and so did the exercise. But then, the pain came back, and nothing was cutting it. Not the stretching exercises, not the ibuprofen; this was after a few weeks of doing all of this.

So I decided that since the ibuprofen wasn't helping, to just drop it. And I continued with the exercise.

...and the pain went away. I haven't had a major problem with my lower back since then (knock on wood).

My anecdotal theory is that somehow, the anti-inflammatory drug was preventing healing at high doses, and I had to quit it to get better.

I don't know if that is really true or not, all I know is that was what seemed to do the trick for me.
Great news! Now that investors know how much the bank robbers have to return as a form of punishment, they are on their way to the next bank. Stock is up breaking $200 after hours, and we will see you all +40% up in few years at the next "punishment pit stop".
As far as I know, Tesla has has little to no relation to BoringCo beyond the fact that they are both owned in large part by Elon Musk.
They should take that $5 billion and use it to fund an alternative to Facebook.

(and one that is smart as to how to approach it, given Facebook's network monopoly. I.e. it should allow you to "use Facebook" in the same way I "use Yahoo mail" when I communicate with a Yahoo mail user from my Gmail account)

The idea that it's safer to trust Truecrypt than the platform's enclave secret system because enclaves sometimes have vulnerabilities strikes me as pretty weird, since the big difference between Truecrypt and an enclave-based system is that Truecrypt doesn't have an enclave to begin with.

> Baking a transactional layer into the browser allows things like rewards for ad participation, but I think microtransactions to pay for gated content will be the more interesting aspect over the longer term.

People have tried microtransactions in lieu of ads, many, many times over the past decade. Hardly any users are interested, and those that aren't don't want to pay enough to keep the lights on at the websites they are visiting.

This is an idea that's incredibly popular in techie circles, and falls flat on its face with the rest of the world (Along with 'floss twice a day', 'just run your own mailserver', 'manually updating my OS/browser/dogsitting app is better, because I can control what runs on my computer', and 'compile all the software you run from source'.)
