If I just can telecommute I don't want my workspace being my live space and my neighbours being my coworkers.

That can may be a thing if you are living by your own, living in a foreign city and without family. I can't see it other way.

The Internet has been the frontier for the last 25 years. That's where most new fortunes were made: providing services or access to it.

Perhaps the Internet is now full, or perhaps there's lots more territory.

Other frontiers include biotech and space. Both seem like we've only explored 1% of the potential.

All of them deny the scientific consensus because it clashes with their ideology. That's not to say they're _same_, e.g. Flat-earthers probably harm society less than anti-vaxers.

The consensus regarding GMO safety is solid, but I find a lot of people are immune to it for some reason.

A great example of the damage that anti-GMO people cause is the opposition to Golden rice. Vitamin A deficiency kills an estimated 670,000 children every year under the age of 5 and cause an additional 500,000 cases of irreversible childhood blindness. Most of these areas have conventional Vitamin A fortification programs, but they obviously don't work. Golden rice is a strain of rice that was genetically modified to produce vitamin A (technically beta-carotene, which is humans convert to vitamin A). It's free to plant non-commercially. It was developed by universities and other publicly funded organizations. It's approved for human consumption by the FDA, as well as Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

Yet Greenpeace and others oppose it, claiming it will open the door to more widespread use of GMOs. They would rather have 500 thousand children die per year.

I can't ever think of a time I opened up SO to figure out the correct algorithm to use for a specific problem, for me the use case 90% of the time is "This library/module/system does not work like it supposed to and now some other abstraction is leaking"

If you could automate a way to understand and resolve all the bizarre bugs and leaky abstractions in the world of tech now that would be a service!
>> logical , precise structures of programming, than the messy, sometime illogical world of humans (also known as politics).

In my Computer Science libraries and applications are written by people and people make political, marketing, historical and technical choices that directly influence the design of the said software.

So whatever you're saying about "precise structures of programming" is clearly heavily dilluted by "the messy, sometime illogical world of humans".

It seems like in your world Spectre would never happen. But it did happen in mine.

Yikes, this whole thread is so provincial.

Yes, the US president is an economic imbecile, but $50 billion dollars in tariffs is a drop in the ocean of the $100 trillion global bond market.

This is a much, much bigger deal than US politics or a US trade war.

Interest rates are negative on $15 trillion worth of debt. All German government bonds have negative rates, all the way out to 30 years.

Policymakers don't like to say the word "deflation" out loud, because even talking about it could make it happen.

But when the economy softens, and central banks have no more ammunition left to stimulate the economy, deflation could be the terrifying result.

Negative long-term rates are what you would expect in a deflationary economy. And, yes, you can have a deflationary economy even while some prices are increasing.

I have literally no idea why I'm getting downvoted for pointing out something with the same name. I just figured it added value to the "dex" convo. I realize it isn't going to confuse people as it is vastly different. It is still relevant as it has the same name, even if you downvote me.
Ultimately you are removing one labourer from the pool that is willing to contribute towards unsustainable practices.

The aggregate effect, assuming that you're a competent developer, is that these businesses are less efficient.

Ignoring that, it's good for your own soul to not do things you think are bad.
Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not sure I agree here. It doesn't feel much different to 2006/07 - ie peak of the cycle in real estate for the City (not to say that I think the bust will be like 2008/09 but that I think there really is a clearly cyclical element to it).

The City is not a place families typically want to live because it has very little green space - and it's largely not a place marketed to families. High-end residential space in the City is essentially marketed at two groups: single people in their 20s/early 30s working nearby, and people for whom it's a second home near work. In my opinion, those markets are enough to sustain it for many years to come - they're likely to grow and what's more they have disposable income which will support the retail/etc element in a way homes for families these days don't.

The commercial real estate boom in the City is the latest in a long, long list of such. Unlike Canary Wharf, which has been very careful to manage space so that almost every square foot is always occupied except in the deepest points of recessions, real estate in the City has had a large speculative element to it for at least the time I've been observing the market (since the 90s), and I don't see anything different here.

There's a long-term growth story and a cyclical element. Long-term growth is about a move eastwards as the West End gets filled up/businesses get priced out. The cyclical part this time to me seems to combine an element of that with it being a "signalling" location for certain types of business about who/what they are.
Not really, Peter Landin’s ISWIM is essentially syntactic sugar over lambda calculus, and went on to influence ML and Haskell. So there is a more direct lineage from lambda calculus to functional programming via that route.

(Regarding the sibling comment: Landin’s paper also predates Backus’ paper by about 10 years)
I would be interested to hear from someone here who has utilized this method of networking effectively.

Over the past year I've met plenty of contacts/got cards etc. I have not felt the need to contact any of the people I've met, so I honestly don't know what it would be like if I did. I don't have any needs/problems that aren't already solved by the people who are in my life now, and if someone was really important I'd put them in my phone contacts, which also, is at about 5% utilization, compared to the total number of people in there, and all those people I at least had some good reason to contact at some point.

I think true meaningful networks cannot be built by exchanging a card on a one-off meeting.

Am I wrong?

I agree with your statement that the value of a relationships is what keep relationships alive. I'll add we do believe forgetfulness plays a role in how you prioritize. One benefit of using Dex is just having visibility into who you know so you can do this prioritization better.

Dex as a 'personal CRM' does intend to provide professional utility as a tool that helps you keep in touch. People who depend on relationships for their work, but might not already have a CRM with their company, are part of Dex's core target audience.

Trying to fetch my Gmail contacts at the first sign-up? No option to continue without that?

I am sorry, I can't do that. I don't know anything about your offer, how you will be using my data. Will it be resold later? In your privacy policy, there is an option of using my data (my contacts network) to run targeted advertising, etc.

While I need something like this, I'll now have to search for more privacy-conscious alternatives.
It's not about "calling himself" Jesus Christ so much as convincing others that he is literally Jesus Christ. Basically it's a form of fraud (or maybe insanity, who knows)

Having worked in multiple places that ship iOS and Android, the real thing to focus on is cross-platform requirements, not code.

Writing mobile apps is fairly trivial - writing good requirement documents is black magic I have yet to see in the real world.

Trying to share code is like trying scratch your left foot when your right foot itches. The issue with two codebases that are supposed to do the same thing is keeping them in sync over time. The only way to do that is by having actual requirement documents.
I've been looking for something like this for a while -- months.

The key for me -- other than privacy etc -- is that it be automated. It should take the info from my email, Facebook and maybe messenger/text and figure out who my friends are and who I have not been in touch with.

How does this decide whom to recommend to reach out to?

On average a startup < 200 employees will spend around 15k+ on hiring efforts anyway. Recruiters can simplify, and streamline the process. Had many high quality recruits that stayed 2+ years with the company from recruiters.

It is a huge myth that the hiring experience with recruiters is poor. It is a huge myth that the quality is low.

Find the right recruiter. Get good candidates. The onus is on you to do your research.

Not a recruiter. Just someone who has worked with some amazing recruiters in the past. I've interviewed thousands of candidates, hired many of them, passed on quite a few. Hiring is always the same. Don't make it harder.
One thing the City as an area is short of is hotel space. Hotels or part-time occupancy residential (serviced apartments and second homes) feels much more realistic for that space than "true" residential space.

Even worse, WeWork doesn't generate that much more revenue from tenants than it spends servicing its enormous lease obligations.

Some more notes

1. You recommend I get in touch with me ... and I am only third on the list :-)

2. I generally don't book events / calendar things. It's one of the reasons i think focusing on emails is so useful - I do those all the time and there is digital footprint that can be used to help me (as opposed to sell me ads)

3. Maybe I missed something but I tried to click on the arrow and then the mail icon, but no mail popped up - I would like to send a mail right there and then as a minimum "get in touch"
That's not really UEFI though per se. Having an oracle in SMM is one option, but sticking them in the Management Engine/PSP or an expanded TPM are other options.

Totally understandable that $100/month may be steep for a nationwide list when you would only want Atlanta. We do plan to add a cheaper tier where you can select just one or a few cities.

As far as having a Zestimate like tool - most of our models have focused on predicting future appreciation. That being said, our instantaneous pricing tool often gives similar estimates to Zestimate but differs from Zestimates a decent amount of the time. I know Zestimate reports having quite a high accuracy but anecdotally it can be way off, especially when comparing the Zestimate for a property to what it ends up being listed and sold for. Part of that is i think is, as you mentioned, there data is better than nothing. We have recently begun tracking our internal instantaneous pricing estimate VS zestimates for properties before they go on the market and comparing who was closer to the sale price so that will be interesting to see.

Appreciate the feedback though as we are looking for the best balance between sharing insights and data and protecting it so as to generate the strongest leads with the highest conversion rate.

Research I did while homeless:

The research I have done also suggests that humans have only found about 5 percent of the gold on the planet and that gold is in high demand as a material used in our fancy modern electronics. This demand is likely to go up, not down.

Because the environment is a hot topic and sensitive issue, from what I gather, this is a job not likely to be taken over by automation any time soon. It appears that they are cracking down on automated processes for dredging streams for gold because it has too much negative impact on the environment. So, this is likely to remain an opportunity for small time operators for many years to come. [1]

The spot price for gold is currently higher than it was when I did the research. It's around $1500/oz.[2] It was "above $1200" per ounce when I did the research.

Get rich quick schemes have always been dicey at best. What we imagine ought to be easy now because we have computers, such as house flipping, was tough back in the day. It's still tough, just for different reasons, like market saturation and fierce competition.

That isn't intended to dismiss the idea that we have systemic issues. I'm well aware that we have systemic issues. I'm just saying that if you think getting rich used to be easy, I doubt I would agree with you.

As always, you need to find the non-obvious opportunities that are being overlooked by other people and then work hard. Occasionally, people just get lucky.

Luck is always a factor. But there is no sure thing formula for wealth creation. There never has been.

Google offers creators a place to upload their videos for free, it does not offer any guarantees regarding returns.

Yep, there's absolutely no reason they won't squeeze the online sellers later. They already have the precedence with their stores and suppliers.

That could work. There's no exclusivity clauses for video hosts, though, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't already be on those other platforms unless it isn't worth the work. I'm forced to conclude that youtube's competitors have few enough viewers and/or pay so poorly that it would require a truly organized and massive move to make that work.

All I can say is: good luck. I won't be holding my breath.
