I realize I'm probably a bit of a unicorn, but I've coworked in the same co-working office for over 8 years. The businesses in the office have changed and there has been some turn over in those years but 50% of us have stayed! Those of us who have stayed the past 8 years have cycled between self employed, and employed full-time, often years at a time for one company.

We live in a small town in Colorado that has never provided work opportunities in our field, but we've always been successful working remotely.

Small town co-working has provided a huge value for us: no commute, we're out of the house, camaraderie, friendship and support. Maybe this is an example of a profitable co-working.

I know that in these past 8 years the owner has done very little recruiting and the desks are nearly always full.
I understand sanskrit is elegant and simple, and of course ancient, perhaps that would be a better analogy

Hey neat! See your extension would obviously need access to all sites to check against reddit/HN so that makes sense.

My extension wasn't published, it was targeted to a specific site (so could narrow the scope of the permissions) and was just set up to allow downloading of images individually (via an overlayed button) and an album as a zip. Pretty legal grey area hence me not publishing it.
Hinduism is secular. Where have historically persecuted people of the world gone? To Hindu India. Indian Hindus are why Zorastrian people still exists as a religion. They had to flee Iran and Islamic domination hundreds of years ago.

Hindu India has its share of casteism, which is a real problem. That I can agree with.
> It keeps salaries lower to reduce inflation and preserves the status quo.

That doesn’t seem correct. Waves of Hispanic and Asian immigration has reshaped California from Conservative to _the_ most liberal state. CA also has high minimum wages and much better worker protections than most other states, due to the liberal leaning politicians that got elected.

Anti-trust is dead. DoJ won’t pursue, and a company like Amazon would probably kill future action in the Supreme Court.
Good to hear! In my experience, BigQuery ML (and other cloud ml products) is great for creating basic models out of the box, but don't provide a ton of flexibility for non-standard ML use-cases. For example, our approach to causal analytics requires doing things such as dimensionality reduction and computing a covariance matrix that are not available through BigQuery ML.

So what we've done instead is create a SparkML task that can read in a feature matrix and trains and scores the causal analytics model. The causal lift estimates for each user are then written out to BigQuery so that in our frontend a customer can filter for, say, users between the ages of 18-35, and then within seconds we'll return them the causal lift of viewing page X for this segment.
Simple, the same way that Spotify, Netflix, Amazon (Kindle), DirecTVNow, Sling, and a bunch of other companies do - force people to pay on their own websites to use the app....

The beauty of the video is that once you've seen it, you can't un-see it (aka, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain").
Thanks for the info. For dual use technologies we are considering a machine learning approach to identifying fingerprinters (as opposed to legit clients). Also, to my knowledge, screen refresh rate is not currently a top fingerprinting vector.

As for Spectre, we treat it primarily as a security threat. It can admittedly be privacy invasive but it would be awkward to use it for tracking.
If it’s connected to a physical switch you could still turn it off.
You seem to be describing problems with all software that has to grow.
It's crazy how fast a car deals with a collision. In the event of an actual crash, the car is _done_ processing the event and deploying all safety measures (airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, etc) before your body even begins to recognize the sensations of impact.
Yeah we can be a weird bunch ;)

Look at the charts. This is mostly television they are talking about. TV is not a novelty for anyone anymore.
It is practical.

The light could be designed to not be disruptive even to a baby, or you could build a physical switch into the device to turn the light off.

It just shouldn't be remotely configurable because that undermines some of the purpose of the indicator.

If you sincerely believe that the earth cannot support a large population of humans that live unsustainable lifestyles, your most logical conclusion will probably be to find ways to reduce it. However, we know now that as a country gets wealthier, it’s fertility rate also decreases rapidly. So perhaps instead of trying to fix the problem by eliminating humans we can try to make other societies prosper and let socioeconomic factors take care of the problem.

This is the fantastic irony of the completely false dichotomy that the public imagines mainstream politics to be.
The modern left seems to paradoxically be supporting open-borders _and_ worker's rights. Normally I would further qualify that statement by attributing such sentiments to the _far_ left, but this seems to be a fairly mainstream position based upon what we saw in the Democratic Primary debates recently. I find it difficult to believe that a pro-trade union candidate like Bernie Sanders does not understand the basic laws of supply/demand: How a supply of cheap labour affects the wages of the individual employee.
I'm in my early 30s and I came of age immersed in the counter-culture of the 90s. Nihilistic Industrial rock decrying the emergence of free-trade and a globalised economy was the left wing soundtrack of the age. Now the far-left seems to be wholesale pro free movement of people and capital. I would accuse the masses expecting that this will not have a negative impact on the financial well-being of the individual of absolute foolishness, but it seems that many proponents of such policies are no longer expecting them to be feasible within the framework of social-democracy. Instead opting for much more collectivist forms of government.
I find it easy to explain that Apple is not using a mobile phone monopoly to X, for any X, by virtue of the fact that Apple does not have a mobile phone monopoly, not even close.

If I want Google ad tracking on my phone, I have a bewilderingly large selection of Android phones to choose from, all of which run on the same mobile networks as my iPhone, work with the same Internet, and all of the apps I consider part of my mobile workflow, like my PagerDuty and my banking app, are available on Android as well as iOS.

I’d say it’s hard to use the words “monopoly” and “Apple” in the same sentence. They don’t have a monopoly in phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, wearables, streaming music, data storage, messaging, calendars, productivity apps, or anything else that I can think of.
Our goal is not to break single-site analytics, and if it gets affected as an unintended consequence, we will try to come up with alternate solutions.
My observation of Germans is that they have a strong sense of nationalism towards their own car brands, so I'm not surprised taxi drivers use a local brand rather than Prius like the rest of Europe.

As others have said older Mercedes had very good reliability, so that probably still rubs off on how people feel about cars today. I'd consider BMW more sporty than luxury.
Different buyer preferences. Different needs.

Of course, it helps that most low-powered cars sold in the EU will have manual trans, where all US MBs are autos...

Also, US buyers will run the AC a lot more, and AC eats a lot of power...potentially as much as 15-20HP... that's a lot more noticeable with a tiny engine.
The 20s weren't great economically in Europe. In Germany the 30s were better economically I'm afraid to say.

When I worked on the farm in the 90s, the classic rock in the barn was swapped out for Rush every afternoon. When I go back home, it’s pretty much the same, except most of the farms are out of business.

If you’re from a white collar, suburban background, you just can’t understand. Most media is New York/LA centric, and conservative outlets reject that.
no, everything is objective, perception is subjective.
Secular in name only. The current party has been anti minority with significant frequency and protectionist of hindu beliefs.

It is the reason why Kashmir never merged with the rest of India.

Of course. I think he has a good point though, that much of the centre-right discourse pays lip service to nationalism while supporting free-trade and minimal control on immigration. So many who would consider themselves to be anti-immigration end up voting for parties which support wholesale immigration in the interest of big business.

You're manually curating a specifically targeted mitigation list, but it's non-public. Mozilla/Edge's approach seems preferable, not problematic
No, I don't have a source, and it could of course be possible that someone got the idea for the name somewhere else, but the initials of the businesses matching the thing is just too much of a coincidence.

I was at Yahoo until just before the sale to Verizon, which happened because the first attempt at spinning off the Alibaba shares tax-free failed. In the first attempt, Yahoo created a new company called Aabaco, which super conveniently could reasonably apply for the stock ticker AABA. (Alibaba had BABA)

When the first attempt failed, they needed an ALTernative solution, so they sold the core business to Verizon, and promptly renamed the company from Yahoo to Altaba and changed their stock ticker from YHOO to AABA.

Meanwhile, the press were super confused about the name change and there were a bunch of articles with people speculating on the name change, wondering what the name meant, etc, etc, because noone apparently could imagine that the name change was exactly as lazy and uninspired and dumb as it was.

I am pretty sure the OATH name was thought up by the same fine minds, and that it was equally uninspired and dumb. If you and your colleagues inside Verizon smelled corporate bullshit, I think that just strengthens my case.
Well we kinda picked all the low hanging fruit over the last 150 years. Each technological advancement seems exponentially more expensive.
The best way to stop companies doing unethical things like this is to vote with your wallet, buy your stuff elsewhere. Use a good online list to pre-screen companies before you buy from them like https://www.ethical.org.au/3.4.2/get-informed/boycotts-criti...

This interview would indicate that he understands that, and wants to restrict immigration for that very reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf-k6qOfXz0

Edit: The interview is from 2015, so it may be that his understanding has 'evolved' since.

Very cool. Will check it out.
Calm down. Too much emotion here. Current government position was always a possibility and is the main reason why Kashmir remained isolationist.

Spends in paper is perhaps more vague than I was assuming. What did you mean?

I am saying even if you ignore paperwork costs and crazy bills, it’s still a vast sums of money often sent with minimal overhead. The VA for example is quite expensive though somewhat less so than the rest of US healthcare.
Per the name (Deep Learning Super Sampling), DLSS uses a trained neural network to achieve high-quality upsampling. The neural network is trained on representative output of the game at the internal framebuffer resolution and at the target output resolution (with SSAA and such).

The upsampling algorithm in the OP is not based on machine learning but is also fairly domain specific and of limited general applicability.
The problem from Dropbox's perspective is that they're not merely hiring someone to create a solo greenfield C++ codebase, but to contribute quickly to a codebase written in whatever arbitrary subset of C++ they blessed.

We are not presently manually curating a specifically targeted mitigations list. Just saying we might in the future. We did do a one shot rollback of HSTS super cookie abuse in the past, but that’s it.
> This only works if you hold 4chan to be more reliable than the media.

They are both sources of information. One is corporate and politically approved, the other is a complete wild west. Totally different but worth comparing.

> Right, but you said that anonymity was important, not censorship. Is anonymity important, or is lack of censorship what matters? They're not the same thing.

Anonymity and censorship are related. People will self-censor if they can't be anonymous due to legal reasons, social shaming, financial reasons... Almost certainly the person that posted this on 4chan wouldn't if they had to attach their real name to it.
Noted--thanks for the reply, both here and to my other comment.
Yeah, because their harvest failing is going to be much better.

Anything that changes ever puts someone "out of work" temporarily until they figure out another way to make a living.

There's probably a name for this sort of 'but jobs' thinking. It feels like some variant of broken window fallacy. If your job is dependent on enormous negative externalities, then yeah, it's probably not sustainable, and someday it won't exist any more.
Staying away from hindu extremist dictatorship has been their goal and why they never conformed.

Yep, sounds very familiar.

Our space was like that when it was the only one in town, and it was the go-to place for self-selecting people who wanted to connect with other like-minded folk.

But our city has four million people, and startups/freelancing became super-popular and demand for co-working shot up (our space actually had to turn many people away at its peak), but then the whole industry became fragmented, and our space (indeed, any space), stopped being the go-to place for "people like us".
IMO QE is insanely regressive because of most people's non participation in the financial system, and thus is a "supply side wolf in keynsian clothing". Looking at all the unprofitable startups and other investment vehicles of the current cycle, combined with uneven increases in productivity and tenuous shitty jobs being the bulk of job growth shows how we've clearly don't have the demand and the money isn't trickling down enough to make it.

With interest rates near zero, and the old monitarist avenues generally exhausted with this procyclic hangover, we have nothing left to do but the real ask fiscal shit jobs guarantee or UBI.

Hopefully people realize work sucks and it would be nice if computers were used to their full potential so we get UBI instead and then we can write expert systems and reduce meanial labor and other useful shit.
> Due to incompatibilities in the compilers, there was a rats nest of dependencies, thousands of #ifdef’s to cover differing OS implementations, and we had to use some of the oldest versions of C++ to be compatible with both XCode and Visual Studio.

My current work has me on a single C++ code-base for Linux, Windows and MacOS (not electron though, just native). You can avoid a lot of headaches by avoiding the platform specific tools and instead cross compile using clang with a build system that works on all platforms (eg. ninja + meson).
WeWork is like Starbucks and McDonalds business wise. Their IP is all their manuals, their suppliers and financial backers. Strong brand. Lots of adjacent markets. Amazing business!

Computer and TV (while the largest slice) are holding steady, Smartphone is the one ballooning.

But these are _mostly_ people at home, not in the job market so what should they do instead, volunteer, read? I dunno if I would castigate them for this.
To me, looking at the charts, the TV line seems flat for seniors but the smartphone line is a major increase since 2015. My interpretation is that seniors have added 2+ hours per day of screentime in the last 4 years and 100% of the addition is smartphones.

Edit: Also, anecdotally, TV is a quite a novelty for me. I had basic TV ears when I was a kid, but never cable. I was ~31 before I got cable TV (always was affordable but never a desire). I definitely personally see TV as more of a novelty than smartphones.

Edit: Also worth noting that the article is about media consumption but the headline (and subheader) only references "screen time". Could be confusing if comparing to groups outside seniors, who use screens for a lot more than media consumption.

Jeffery Epstien ran the largest sex trafficking operation that the world has seen. According to SEC filings he has blackmailed hundreds of extremely wealthy men & women by video recording them in the act. Epstien received his billions in financial gains under his private investment firms."shells". He ran many different operations and locations and about 100 victims has come forth so far in just New York. Other country's have women coming forth with more accusations by the hour. The reach of the criminal accusations spans throughout the business world, science and research, royalty, political, and wealthy individuals. He was most likely murdered in prison and it was not suicide based on emerging details about what happened.

Yeah, I actually found the plot interesting as I was writing it, which kind of surprised me. If I were a writer I would write a short fiction about it. But I'm not. I wonder if it would make an interesting video game, though.
I love that Google’s commitment to privacy is mucking with the LED on a camera instead of anything, you know, meaningful.

Like, maybe not tracking your every movement, search, interest, thought, fear, and desire to turn you into clicks for money?

Or hey, maybe give you total control of the information they collect on you?

Nah, let’s turn the LED on and tout our commitment to privacy!

This is also why brain mass is roughly proportional to body mass, but not very proportional to general intelligence. A blue whale has a 7kg brain, about 5x the size of the typical human brain, but doesn't appear to have even human-level intelligence let alone 5x super-human intelligence.
I'm not, actually. My own father was one of those three hours a day dittoheads.

It's easy to identify propaganda in microcosm, it's harder to see the same thing writ large. I find that most white collar suburbanites I meet have a great number of received opinions and rarely examine the sources of such.

I've been involved in real estate and the coworking scene in Shanghai for the last 3 years and you've hit the nail on the head.

Customer retention is even worse here, as so many spaces keep opening up and offering huge discounts to move in.

At first WeWork kept their price the same at an average of 3,000RMB desk/month (600AUD per month), then local competition came in at under 2,000RMB, then WeWork did 3-6 months free rent incentives, 25% broker commissions etc, opened around 30 (?) spaces in 2 years.

Now the average price of a desk is around 2,000RMB at WeWork, local competiton is under that, and brokers still get 15%. The Tenants know how much power they have in the negotiation as it's all a big competition between coworking operators.

Who's winning in this? Landlords, Tenants and Brokers.
