I really, really need something like this in my life. In a previous life, I ran for political office and raising money would have been so much easier if I had kept those contacts warm over time. Big problem here is that it requires Google Contacts. Do people actually use that? Phone/FB contacts would be much more useful in my book.

I actually was just thinking about this type of product just yesterday while walking around a part of the city I've never been to -- how cool would it be to proactively shoot folks a text whenever I'm in their part of town (determined by GPS)? I end up doing this manually and I always forget folks until it's too late.
The U.S. is a massive country. You tell me: what class are people who can afford to take time off work, and pay to travel to other cities to complain about society?
When the outcome of a process results in a disparity (along racial, gender, etc. lines), people generally agree that the process is discriminatory, regardless of whether there was an intent to discriminate.

If the output of a hiring process results in all men being hired and no women, people would be correct to raise a concern. So if the output of a hiring process results in all hires being young and none old, should there not be similar concerns?
Ah, so that's why it takes as long to fly from San Fran to Tokyo as it does to fly from Santiago to Sydney - because the government purposefully slows down plans between San Fran and Tokyo...

I feel like it'd be pretty trivial to charter a flight from Punta Arenas Chile to Melbourne Australia and blow the minds of some flat earthers... but, eh, willfully ignorant people are going to be willfully ignorant.
That makes sense given that China has ~4x the population of the United States.
Wear and tear is generally not an issue with network equipment. You buy it, you run it until it depreciates or breaks or becomes too much trouble, you replace it. I've never heard an argument of "don't run that thing too hard, it'll shorten its life". (If you do hear this, it's usually a sign of inadequate cooling).

Data caps are a poor tool for handling congestion. They're a great tool for frightening people into keeping their load low(and costs for the provider down), or for sucking more money out of people. They don't do a damn thing for immediate load.

Me? I have Comcast business class -- they guarantee me a specific bit rate and I can nail it up at that rate all month long and they don't care. For folks not paying for this service class, Comcast has bandwidth reservation and all the anti-congestion tools they need, they just don't use them -- they get more money out of people's behavior towards data caps.
But, with China having 4x the U.S. population, wouldn't "odds of becoming a (b/m)illionaire" still be higher in the States, even if raw amount of new millionaires is higher in China?
The City of London is having a skyscraper boom at the moment - two major 100+ floor buildings are going up and you can hardly turn a corner without some crane or building work going on.

I personally (and without any empirical evidence) think that there is no way London needs this much more office space, partly because "Brexit China Tariffs", but mostly because remote working and "just not in the office five days a week" is becoming a thing.

Turning that sterile office space onto more live/work/mix-it-up space, perhaps floors 1-20 as office and 20-40 as apartments or something, will almaot certainly be a feature of the next twenty years.

And all that office space and living space and mixed something or other we don't quite get, all that will need to be sold and packaged and marketed.

And so, long story long, whilst WeWork may look like a joke, may be a "lose money on each sale but make it up in volume", something like WeWork may just be the Hoover or the Pullman coach of mixed live work office buildings. Because mixed live work office buildings will be the Pullman coaches of tomorrow's cities - cities have a new brighter car free future, where Barcelona's mega-blocks will meets the density of skyscrapers. But it needs ... looking after.

I'm inclined to agree with you but I realize I get a lot of my tech news on Twitter too. I follow many tech and business reporters, and a lot of tech people in general, and doing a search for "pinterest" from people I follow turns up very little. Though I'm not sure if that's inherent to the network – e.g. it's not a general usecase to share pins across Twitter. Still, I see more on my Twitter timeline about Etsy when it comes to people I follow tweeting about something cool they bought or saw.
The engines need to be overhauled and sometimes replaced several times over an aircraft's lifetime, so they are often swapped out and overhauled and then installed on another aircraft. Not only that, but some injection of new engines into the pool is needed.

So airlines sign big contracts with engine manufacturers for new engines, parts, supplies, training, etc.

This also happens even with small single engine airplanes, those engines need overhauls every so many thousand hours, so one option is to trade in your old engine for a refurbished one instead of overhauling and keeping the same engine. For some larger fleets companies have contracts with engineer manufacturers or service centers for this.

It's like the graphical file open window is designed to troll the user. It opens in icon view sorted by name with hidden files visible. Like who would ever want that? Its gaurenteed to never be useful. Switching to list view and sorting by date requires 3 clicks, and date sorting only works in one direction. Trying to type to highlight a directory or file by name often doesnt work.

Funny coincidence, just today I was toying around with Monica and looking around for another person CRM.

I'm a bit frustrated by the lack of features in Monica.

What I want is this, reminders to stay in contact with someone. I want a notification to appear on my phone saying something like, "hey you told us to stay in touch with Bob every month, click to open WhatsApp and message them." Or slack, text, email, etc.

I also want a central location for all my contacts and info about this. Notes, when we last got in touch and how we communicate (messenger, slack, email, LinkedIn, etc.) I really want it to stay synced with iCloud, Google, Next loud, etc.

I want as much automation as possible.

Every CRM I've looked into seems to revolve around a lot of manual work.

I'll have to give getdex a try.
I feel like something must be seriously wrong with capitalism if it can keep creating these startups and funnelling endless hundreds of milions into them so they can accumulate debt, lose money, and achieve absolutely nothing of value.

"Employment Agreement

The Company does not have an employment agreement in place with Adam and, accordingly, Adam does not earn any salary from the Company and would not be entitled to severance if he no longer served as Chief Executive Officer. Adam earned no salary in 2018 and only earned $1 in 2017. Moreover, Adam is not entitled to any perquisites from the Company and elects to reimburse the Company in full for any perquisites he may receive in connection with his service as our Chief Executive Officer."

The value of the options he was granted, as well as related party transactions are quite significant though...

There's a bit of confusion here. Importantly the GP is talking about "professionals." My post was written with that in mind, and the assertion that "...almost no professionals... shoot on manual mode outside of studio...Instead, shoot on aperture mode..."

The important distinction is that "manual mode" is being discussed and compared to "aperture mode." So it's about the PASM setting and not specifically about "true manual mode" (auto-ISO or not). The clear (and in my view incorrect) assertion of GP is that manual priority/mode is not for use outside the studio. It is said three times:

> I know almost no professionals who shoot on manual mode outside of studio settings.

> The only time manual mode is used is when you're in a studio...

> Leave manual mode for the studio.

Why is the electoral college dysfunctional when it goes against the popular vote, even though it's designed to be able to do so? This has happened several times before without issue.

Not all Trump voters are "people dumber than he is". That's a ridiculous generalization and little more than morally-superior posturing. People are much more complicated with their choices then you may believe.
I understand that Turing and Church came up with different approaches to describing the fundamentals of computing. You can see there is a relationship between LC and LISP. My question is how did we get to the von Neumann architecture and CPU instruction sets from either Church or Turing's work ?

What exactly is debatable?

A. That humans have added huge amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere?

Or

B. that CO2 is a greenhouse gas?

To deny the former would be delusional. The latter has been known since the 19th century and can be easily tested empirically.

There is no debate.

If you are shooting in Aperture or Shutter mode, you have as you say to apply exposure compensation [0] in situations where the subject is lighter or darker than the area of the frame where exposure metering is being applied. Exposure compensation requires a bit of thought about what is happening to the non-priority control (i.e. to the aperture when you are in shutter priority, and vice versa). So, if you are thinking about the other value as well, why not control it directly? In full manual mode.

I've also, on my Nikon D3S, decoupled the focus control from the shutter release button (there is a dedicated 'operate the autofocus now' button on the back). But that is a whole different story,

re:was he top notch? By 1955 he was an assistant professor of Mathematics and known in his field. In 1956 he organised the Dartmouth conference where the field of Artificial Intellgence - got its name.

Thanks. Better analogy than my Boeing one.
Iran is a hybrid. It's not democratic because:

1. Supreme Leader has all the power and President's power is very limited.

2. Candidates are "vetted" by the regime. Therefore, people can elect but the choices are limited to a few people regime has accepted.

3. During Ahmadinejad, even the vetted candidate who was popular and got the vote wasn't really acceptable by the regime so they completely ignored the vote and just named Ahmadinejad as the winner.

Basically, the real government is the IRGC. Elected goverment is the one who does the legwork and also the blame because officially they are in charge but practically they are not.

It's like you have a boss who delegates you all the responsibility but none of the authority. You will be responsible but you cannot make any calls.
Point taken on that definition, but as tech companies create new markets (e.g. YouTube, Uber, etc.) I think the definition of employee will evolve as well

Ray Dalio talks about this phenomenon in his free book Big Debt Crises. He shows data that debt bubbles are cyclical and exhibit the same characteristics each time. The debt bubble that played out from 1927-1940 also exhibited increasing wealth inequality which led to massive social and political volatility. In relation to that cycle we are around 1936.

Income inequality and political crisis will likely be very high in the coming years (even as it's already high as you can probably tell by recent events) and we might see some pretty stark changes in our economy and policies. Perhaps more social programs to lessen the damage of the gap such as free healthcare or universal basic income. The recurring bubbles do hurt but eventually they give way to the next cycle of debt inflation and exuberance.

Camera sensors have a base sensitivity that will capture an image without additional voltage applied to it. Adding voltage allows the sensor to capture more information, at the cost of additional noise. The lower ISO values are also not usually the native, instead they are simulated in camera. The camera algorithms are pretty good these days, but they can still end up with clipping sensor data that you might want.

The native ISO isn't usually published along with typical product specs, but you can usually find it by searching online.
"pesticide": probably you mean "herbicide".

There is also the problem of pesticides that, previously, were only on the skins of fruits, and able to be washed off, now being produced by the plant and so laced throughout.

Incidentally, probably most of the glyphosate in our diet comes from seeds of plants killed with it -- e.g. oats, chickpeas -- and not resistant.

It's tragic that abuses of GM techniques generate opposition that interferes with adoption of carotene-producing ("yellow") rice.

This is another oddly plucked stat from another Bloomberg clickbait article. Their internal rate of new millionaires is increasing, because they have fewer millionaires and more people. They’re still creating net less new millionaires than the US per year.
I'm confused; it goes beyond the big, GP social networks by focusing on more meaningful relationships (how?) but I create them by pulling directly from these sources of relationships?

What exactly is a "personal" CRM that doesn't focus on selling? A curated address book?

>> Most people realize the value and fulfillment that come from maintaining relationships, but occasionally still fall out of touch due to forgetfulness

I think these is the fundamental premise that I don't personally agree with; the value of the relationship is what keeps you engaged. It's not simple forgetfulness that causes you to lose touch - you are prioritizing other activities over the relationship.

This doesn't seem right or make me feel good though; it makes me seem like a self-centered jerk, so can't be true - I must be lacking (yet more) networking applications that "promote keeping in touch".

I think there is opportunity for very specific purpose networking tools, like linkedin before they decided to be a general-purpose social network or centered around communities and activities. I don't think "relationships" is specific enough, unless you're focusing on physical relationships like dating or hookups.

Also, the amount of private information you're asking to expose right out the gate is a non-starter for me. If it's curated (and thus meaningful) make your on-boarding & setup reflect this. I realize it's largely due to eas-of-use, but to me the process is a giant data vacuum.

Just make up whatever you want on the go. i.e. If I were to make something up I would say that the GPS satellites really are going around the flat earth. Also, the GPS satellites were really invented to monitor the underside of the earth where dinosaurs still exist and where the real location of Atlantis is.

This is the real reason governments do not want you to discover that the earth is flat. They are hiding Atlantis. The whole city is covered by a forcefield and we have not yet been able to penetrate it. It is apparently uninhabited, long since abandoned. Once we are able to get inside it we will be able to obtain Star Trek level technology. And by we I mean an Illuminati like group that controls all the governments of the world.

They want to keep all that technology for themselves. Q'Anon is actually a defector of that group and it will eventually help us find Atlantis so that we can all share its technology. etc. etc.

This stuff almost writes itself. You can never loose.
> feeling smarter than the establishment is an added bonus.

Intelligence is the most important trait for determining social rank in humans, especially for men. This means that a lot of people are very insecure about their perceived lack of intelligence. So being right when another "smart" group was wrong is a huge sense of validation for people and it helps boost their self-esteem.

Given that, I wouldn't be so sure that feeling smarter isn't the primary draw.
I'd add that social media, done well, cannot and should not be monetized. There is simply no overlap between what makes a service engaging to use to the degrees needed to make advertising profitable, and the priorities set forth to grow a community that is a net addition to the lives of its members.

Call me starry eyed if you want, but I think while we do absolutely need a Facebook, that it shouldn't be a private business. It should be a public good, funded by the public, for the public and its interests.
