> You don't understand the business. You think WeWork is for individuals like you. It's not. It's for enterprises.

What's your definition of "enterprise" leasing? 200+ sqm leases for 3 years?

Either way, I guess we'll have to wait for the WeWork S-1 to see whether or not your assessment is correct.

However, if my personal experience of 5 (admittedly international) WeWork offices is anything to go by, it's not. The tenants I saw were overwhelmingly 3-10 person teams (and when they exceeded that number, they moved out and traded up for a more traditional/permanent office lease).

Of course, that's just anecdotal, and hardly statistically significant. You might be right - if so, I'm guessing their S-1 will show 30%+ of revenue from longer-term enterprise leases.

But even if that's true, I still don't see it as an advantage. Serviced offices and independent coworking spaces offering "spillover" space for enterprises are a dime a dozen. I'll grant that WeWork might have an advantage in interior design & fitout - but again, so what? How many companies will pay a premium for a "WeWork designed office"? How many even care?

This is obviously a lot of speculation about what businesses want and what they're willing to pay for. Maybe you're right, maybe I'm right - who knows. We'll keep a close eye on the numbers and see which one is correct.
> I'm perfectly content for a phone to detect via GPS/IMU that it's in a moving vehicle and send up a big angry prompt like "Please confirm that you are a passenger and not driving this vehicle. Phone interactions are being logged and will be available to law enforcement if a collision occurs."

This makes sense if you sort of assume all trips are by car by default, but in places with mass transit this is a useless nuisance for people who mostly take the bus or train.

Silicon Valley is not a fad, but not quite a place either. As the author describes it, the drab office complexes are not quite what makes Silicon Valley what it is. In my opinion, a person living half a world away, Silicon Valley is a collective state of mind in a place with the right resources and context. It has talent, capital, and the infrastructure, both physical and intangible. It has free markets, great universities, rule of law, safety, democracy, and most importantly an acceptance of a certain kind of risk taking. This combination is surprisingly hard to recreate. As an Indian living half a planet away, I look upon the place with a mixture of admiration, awe and envy.
The real end game has to be servers in space. Think about a potential extreme privacy model where servers exist outside the domain of laws on earth.

Of course, to be cynical, no earth-based company can escape being squeezed into doing what law enforcement agencies might need them to do.

You're making a broad characterization. I suspect it is not backed by evidence.
Remember each ~25 km you'd need a relay after you hit the horizon. That adds non-zero latency vs a longer-range-through-vacuum transmission.
That data is essentially sourced from clearbit afaik.

I'm really interested in who is selling it; I've been puzzling over this for a while. Lots of companies have high accuracy employer to IP address data like that -- think GSuite, Office 365, etc -- but who on earth has an incentive to sell it? In the case of GSuite, google keeps data like that for itself. For Office365, the value of the data pales next to the $100/year/user they charge.

One guess is maybe the Adobe suite? Still, I kind of think this would be too sleazy for them.

Chinese Port Goes Full Robot With Autonomous Trucks and Cranes (May 2018)

https://singularityhub.com/2018/05/17/chinese-port-goes-full...

“By the end of 2018, something will be very different about the harbor area in the northern Chinese city of Caofeidian. If you were to visit, the whirring cranes and tractors driving containers to and fro would be the only things in sight.”

“Caofeidian is set to become the world’s first fully autonomous harbor by the end of the year. The US-Chinese startup TuSimple, a specialist in developing self-driving trucks, will replace human-driven terminal tractor-trucks with 20 self-driving models. A separate company handles crane automation, and a central control system will coordinate the movements of both.”
A PhD is a piece of paper, not something that elevates the holder to the position of a deity. I don't think it should even be mentioned as something that might temper your criticism.

(General comment only, I haven't actually read the article yet).
Yeah, it's an optimistic biased system, but it's a decent practical approach. The cases of maintainers being lousy seems pretty uncommon.

AFAIK the reason maintainers can completely remove revisions of comments, is because occasionally a well intentioned user pastes sensitive info into a comment and doesn't realise.

While pointing it out to the user so they can remove it themselves does work, that's an unbounded time frame (perhaps never). So just nuking it directly is "safer" in that instance.

Doesn't seem like there's any really perfect solution.
Who gains more, relatively, though?

I ran across a recent FB stat whose overwhelming prevalance in mobile (90%+) was staggering. Google may gain on Android, but has to lose, again, relatively, on search.

> (however if you've found a way that works well, please share)

Not extremely well, but I did a small PoC where Jenkins is running in Kubernetes without persistent storage. Plugins are installed on boot with install-plugins.sh (part of Jenkins' Docker image) and configuration is done via Groovy scripts in init.groovy.d (stuff like https://gist.github.com/Buzer/5148372464e2481a797091682fabba...). It's not perfect (e.g. I didn't have time to find out good way to store & import old builds) & it does require some digging around to find how plugins actually do their configuration.
If these folks aren't directly in front of your vehicle or running deep reds, you aren't going to collide with them when you have a green light and travel forwards. If you lane change, you need to do it outside of intersections and check your mirror / blind spot, like always.

In fact, it seems the most likely explanation for Zendrive finding that the heaviest users of phones while in motion rated themselves as extremely safe — they just have bad data about who is actually driving.

because there are lots of good jobs paying six figures there. land prices go for a percentage of incomes, always. you probably need to go back to your employer and say that you aren't being adequately compensated. I'm confused why you think you are making great money if it doesn't afford you a modest home? these companies are making huge amounts off our backs and they either need to pay more or they need to move the jobs elsewhere. until employees start being more demanding it won't happen.
Ehhh, not sure about this. If you're a parent and your kid is begging you to get faster internet, you might listen to them a little bit. If their marketing can get those kids to do that, then that might be a successful campaign.
And Ground infrastructure doesn’t exactly take a straight path either. Add 5-10% slack in the line for loops/splice trays/pole movement, and then going around artificial and natural barriers...
I thinks so, e.g. `nix-env --install --attr nixpkgs.emacsMacport`. But there isn't a huge selection of native macOS GUI apps.
The difference is actually from movement of getting into the vehicle. I don't remember the details of that specific research but I did find it really cool at the time. IIRC, there was also (separate) research that could determine front seat/back seat, based off movement generated from the car turning.
Robotic toys is a tough area. Higher than standard toy development costs, relatively limited market / higher cost products and similar challenges to being in a toy market. I mean — they probably could have pivoted to self driving car software or something.. too bad.

The call chain is:

- you run flowcpp and feed it with .flow file;

- flowcpp see that it is source file and calls compiler

- compiler produces .bytecode file

- flowcpp executes .bytecode file and runs file you called.

You can call compiler directly with flowc or flowc1 commands.
My Mario history is SMB2, then Super Mario Odyssey. If you think I like SMO because of some nostalgia for SMB2, you might want to take another look at both games because there's an astonishing world of difference and very little in common apart from the name "Mario".

Small nit - you probably mean "outside of using them to play Nintendo-approved games" since there's only 2 Nintendo games on the Switch here and 6 non-Nintendo games.
Without some form of MCAS there would be no 737-MAX at all, and it’s not fair to say that the whole plane was a corner cutting exercise either, it was an attempt to improve an older, proven design driven by customer demand.

I would argue that they applied a software kludge on a design, which is basically no more fit to fly in such a configuration.

They did that because Airbus' 320 NEO put them into full throttle panic mode. Espeically since American, a lifelong Boeing customer, considered a pretty big order with Airbus.

So, instead of a completely new clean-sheet design (which they considered) they rushed a plane to market, which needed to be fixed with software because it's inherently not fit to fly without such fixes and slapped a 737 sticker onto the plane because of competitive advantage.

The obviously dodgy shenanigans applied in the certification process also don't really help.

Cool idea, but sounds a lot like your typical Elon announcement. SpaceX ia doing great in the rocket business sue to clear advantage regarding development costs (I still have my doubts regarding their true launch costs, so). Pushing them to develop new antennas shifts the focus, not sure if that is such a good idea...
I can see the appeal for customers who in rural areas with one or no real option for internet access, or if you like to vacation / travel via RV.

Will the SpaceX system use frequencies that allow decent reception and transmission (to the sats) if you're physically in a city? If you're indoors?
I have always been interested in computers and programming since I was little and made it a goal to move to Silicon Valley when I graduated from high school 11 years ago. Now that I’m here and working at my dream job, it’s funny how “mundane” it is (in a good, engineering sort of way). Wake up, go to work, program and talk about technical things, then go home. Repeat the next day. My day to day life is very unlike the TV show this place is based on (although that craziness definitely exists around here for those looking for it, but it’s not difficult to avoid). Sometimes it’s hard to believe this is the tech capital of the world because the infrastructure is just so ordinary and suburban looking.

Weirdly enough, I think my favorite thing about living here is the vegetation. The quirky trees, the rolling hills, and the funky plants are just so different than what you find in the rest of the U.S. My favorite pastime is just driving around here on the weekend looking at it all.
Look at the cohorts of Product Managers, Security "Specialists" (Disclosure: they're not engineers, experts, its a totally made up title), Certified Buzzy Buzzwordingtons etc. Its not very hard to see, as the OP pithely pointed out, that Tech seems to be the only place today where its possible to strike gold.

Trying to make friends through the manufacturing of some artificial mutual interest is, in my experience, really ineffective.

What I've found to be really effective, is finding some type of event where people share the same interest as you. This is doubly so, I've found, if the people involved are really passionate about said interest and you are as well.

I've recently gotten into world music, and I've found there is a community of people really passionate about it near me, we clicked instantly, because having meaningful conversation became incredibly easy at that point.

I could see the WeWork friend making / relationship making thing working if you are all working on similar things, are all passionate about it, and can have a conversation about whatever that is. But if you're all working on different things, in different functions, I think it would be hard to make friends.
I read Crime and Punishment for the first time recently. found it quite boring and with limited meaning. but I am a 40 year old man and understood the concepts the book was introducing a long time ago.

I feel like with the advent of the internet, shocking concepts/ideas are hard to come by. I'm sure ideas in the book were provocative "back then," but nowadays, not so much.

I even watched some lectures on youtube discussing the book, which brought to light a thing or two, but still nothing of significance for me.

Not that I agree with this argument necessarily but there are lots of issues we’ve determined are out of bounds for states to determine. I’d go so far as to say that where that line is, is the central question of modern American liberalism.

Another way to frame that is, you’ve reduced to snark a central question of our time.

> Also good tests are hard to write. I’ve seen T/F questions that could go either way. Multiple choice questions with more than one correct answer. (Professors will tell you to choose the “best” answer. But that’s a matter of opinion in many, if not all, cases.)

This is why I am so glad that all of my university exams (and the _vast_ majority of exams before that, at least post-Y9/age 13) were open-ended questions[1], then marked by someone who will (likely) know the subject better than you even will. Even if you couldn't get the the answer, but could understand and articulate the starting points, or made a compelling argument but misread or misunderstood part of the question, you will at least get partial credit. The physics exams would also have a standardised formulae reference sheet.

[1] A typical paper would be three hours, answering 5-6 questions, and a typical subquestion can be as open-ended as "Write brief notes about a tree representation of functional arrays, subscripted by positive integers according to their representation in binary notation. How efficient are the lookup and update operations?"
However, the same would apply to community work, etc.

A good personal website isn't only about presenting yourself, but also about respecting the viewer/reader, aligning interests, sharing and the promis to do so in a consistent way, and caring about things in general. If this goes with some brilliant content, this should be making a difference.

The permissions black magic is really upsetting to me---undoubtedly, I freely and openly admit, because I don't really understand permissions, but it seems to engage in behavior that it shouldn't be able to engage in. As recounted in this old blog post[1] it does things like change the permissions on its own files even after one declares the owner to be root and sets the file as non-writeable. Now, like I said, I don't really understand how file permissions work, so I'm sure that there's a perfectly logical explanation for how that's possible---but it hardly seems consistent with the incessant claim the homebrew maintainers make that it doesn't require elevated privileges.

I don't trust giving a community package sudo.. ever. I don't pipe bash into shell, so no sudo for you either, mister package manager.

That is how a lot of exploits start, though. Certain PSP games used to be valuable because you could present them with crafted save files to root devices.

Although, you could also buy special batteries that would let you root a PSP...what a weird handheld.

The point is, who knows, the game's scripting language could have shipped with an undocumented 'write word to memory' function.

Consider the arc of a typical turning radius from vehicles of varying widths. There would be slight variances in 3d space between a sensor on the left and right sides, obviously, depending upon the direction of the turn. It will be sharper on the sensor if it's on the side of the direction of the turn. Inferring the direction of a turn in an accelerometer is trivial, and inferring the side of the vehicle, and distance from the wheels (front vs back seat) should also be possible. Again, throw a sensor into a vehicle once, and it's hard to tell, but lots of times, you'll get enough data to easily tell.

More so, especially if you know the type of vehicle someone owns. Without knowing the type of vehicle, you would need data from both sides to differentiate between passenger and driver. But it should be trivial to detect the gradient (slope) of the sensor curve while the vehicle is turning either direction to determine whether a passenger is on the left or the right side. Doubly so with more than two dimensions of measurements available (vehicles normally sway a bit on one side or the other while turning one direction or the other). Simple physics that every suspension will follow... Your body will also sway a bit in three dimensions differently if the phone is on your person. Using these principles, you could also determine whether someone was siting in the front or the back, too. Knowing the type of vehicle, or given enough variance in measurements (more data points is better), it should be possible to infer the position of the sensor due to the gradient of the arc in the turning radius.

Just spit-balling here... lol
