Ah, I can't use my QC30 for exercise, since it keeps slipping to one side. It's great for coding/commuting though!
I'm reminded of this rather dark few lines from Naked Lunch:

Well, the fair comparison is to an wall separated space using the same area.

If you compare an open space office with a walled office that 3x the size, of course the bigger office will win out. An open office 3x the size would also be a big improvement.
But most employers don't care about having a "proper engineer". They want someone who knows $LATEST_HOT_FRAMEWORK which a trades education can provide.

I'm actually working on a new type of dating app that addresses this conflict of interest.

Most dating apps want you to be addicted (single and swiping) to their screens so that they can keep earning billions of dollars from subscriptions, power-ups, and ads. Even if you aren't paying, they want you addicted to their platform for their paying members. There is a serious conflict of interest.

We are different. We understand users want to find someone, so they get on with their lives-- to have amazing life experiences with someone they like. We give our users exactly that and our main revenue stream is tied to that. Just like Uber and Lyft sell rides because customers want rides-- we sell adventure dates because our users want breathtaking dating experiences.

We also hate screen addiction. We want to be in the background, so people can focus on living in the moment. And every day, we'll sprinkle their lives with like-minded, kind people and travel opportunities.

Would love your feedback on it. Here's more info I wrote about our business model:

Why do you want to go without a car so badly? I get not wanting one IN the city (did it for several years myself), but outside of the city driving is not bad at all.
At my first job space was at a sort of premium, and we all worked at a bench with computers on it. But, there were walls that separated about 6-8 workers. I think this is a very nice happy medium. I can openly collaborate with my "pizza-sized" team, but there's enough separation from other teams that I have a modicum of privacy. That said, I quite appreciate my 6'x7' cube my current company has me in.
A sub-Moon-mass singularity of 1e22 kg provides an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 at a radius of 261 km, while having a Schwarzchild radius of 1.5e-5 m.

The combined system of that singularity plus a hard spherical shell at radius 261 km (anchored by some sci-fi means that does not contribute significant mass) has a density of 134 g/mL, 6 times as dense as pure osmium, but being mostly empty space inside. And having a surface area of 856000 km^2, 0.6% the land area of Earth. Such a body could retain an atmosphere and sustain ecological cycles.

Kids are often involved by schools with nature projects, beach cleanups, litter, recycling, learning about bugs and insects etc. They might even get a little exposure to media such as radio, TV, David Attenborough, social media and such.

They are forming their own opinions. Sometimes strongly held. They are forming their own opinions on how well the world is not being managed environmentally, climatically etc. It's kinda hard to miss.

I think it is very much up for debate.

Let's hypothesize that 60% of people work better in private offices, and 40% work better in open offices. You force everyone to work in a private office, and they perform slightly better than if you force everyone to work in an open office--that perfectly explains the results of the studies.

But obviously if this hypothesis is true, then the best solution would be to let the 40% who work better in open offices work in open offices, and let the 60% who work better in private offices work in private offices.

Sure, if you're going to force everyone into one style of office, the evidence probably says we should force them into private offices. But why are we forcing everyone into one style of office?
> The other thing I suppose is where literally every employee gets their own office. But is that really a thing? Because I've never heard of something like that.

This used to be the case. Companies like Microsoft gave everyone their own office (I'm not sure what the current policy is, I would assume they kept it the same).

I for one hate cubicles the most. They have none of the privacy but also none of the social collaboration, you can't lean over and talk to your coworker.
Imagine telling that to your young child every day and then wondering why your child has anxiety disorders and social problems. Part of being a responsible parent is shielding your children from the horrors of the world, so that they can develop in a stable and sane environment.

Isn't more the opposite? In Europe (well at least Germany, Europe is big) don't students get split up between a vocational track and university track pretty early in their educations? Even going to different kinds of high schools. Then for the university track people education is free but few vocational trackers end up going to university at all?

Students in the US can only go in the institutions that admit them, but the vast majority of students can get admitted to their state school and get a decent degree.

I agree tradesman are looked down upon by degreed workers, but thats more based around having/not having an education, not the pipeline that leads people there. (Also money talks in the US, and plenty of tradespeople make way more than those with useless degrees, and therefore end up with a good social standing later in life)
which of those is related to this case?
Tinder most definitely has not solved the spam problem. I think it's gotten even worse over the past couple years.

Assuming you're an American, you eventually have a civic duty to find out what they did so you can evaluate them. You can't wait forever, because once everyone involved has moved on far enough with their careers (or retired) it won't be possible for your evaluation to have any impact. Declassification has to happen at a reasonable speed in order for our system to work.

Although I don't know, I think this story was released for exactly that purpose, to improve public support for the NSA and Cyber Command. With Snowden being in the news lately I'm sure they're looking for opportunities to run cool war stories to balance out their image.

I'm using IFTTT for similar functionality on my Android phone and I've never had a problem with a task bouncing in and out of a specific location. In fact, the location selection process only allows you to zoom in so far on the map to prevent you from getting to specific with your geofence.

> I find myself wondering what the possible outcomes might be... your thoughts?

Per the S-1, they have sufficient revenue ($1.5 billion in 1H2019, or very roughly $3 billion annually[1]) and capital ($2.9 billion in cash & equivalents) to service the leases and location operations ($1.3 billion in 1H2019) for the near future, if not indefinitely. Even including SG&A, it’s still fairly close to cashflow breakeven (roughly $3.0 vs $3.8 billion annually) given their revenue growth rate.

What they don’t have is enough capital to continue expanding - building out new locations and paying leases before they generate revenue - as fast without raising more capital, or to service the leases if customers defected. But as an exiting customer, that’s not a big deal for you.

Basically, at least for the next year or two, I think it’s likely that nothing will change. Beyond that, it’ll depend on their plans to raise more capital and to address locations which aren’t at operating profitability.

Once they figure out a strategy, the locations at highest risk of closing would be those with the lowest occupancy rates, which probably opened in 2019. They’d need to buy out or renegotiate the lease (from a fairly weak negotiating position) to do that, though. As long as revenue continues to grow, I think it’s more likely they’d stop opening new locations or raise capital on bad terms rather than paying to close existing locations.

tl;dr: little or nothing is likely to change in the next year or two. If your location is more than half full, nothing is likely to change unless a recession occurs and revenue drops (which was also a risk before their valuation reset).

[1]: “It took us more than seven years to achieve $1 billion of run-rate revenue, but only one additional year to reach $2 billion of run-rate revenue and just six months to reach $3 billion of run-rate revenue.“ (S-1 page 3). Their run rate is probably higher than $3b right now.

this rhetoric is going a bit too far. The UN children's convention protects children . When (and if) climate change will affect these people they will be adults.
I believe the "Managing" class here would refer to higher level people who dictate down and make enough to be comfortable, but nevertheless is closer to the ruling class than the average person, without having much influence inside the ruling class.

Your average manager covering a small team of people (e.g. say a fast food manager or a retail manager) is still working class, they just happen to be one step higher in the hierarchy , with slightly more pay but relatively little power.

At least that's how I have always viewed it. My definition could be completely wrong though.
It is a probabilistic claim, not a causal one. Whether you announce it can clearly have no bearing on doing it, at the physical level. However, the studies showed that you're more likely to succeed it you kept it private.

Not guaranteed to succeed. Not doomed to fail if you announce. Just like getting dealt an ace as the first card doesn't determine if you win. Has better chances than getting a two, though.

Anyone who's going to be affected is qualified to express their opinion, it seems to me, and children are going to be affected by climate change long after the rest of us are gone.
Do you hear the fan right after you start the laptop? That's usually an indication that you need to reset the SMC.

The old religions of the Americans have been practiced in stealth because they were punishable by death.

The fact that you go to Mexico and it seems like everyone is Catholic is because that’s what you had to make it look like if you wanted to not die.

It does not mean that the old religion disappeared. It means you won’t see it unless you are very deep inside the circle of trust.

The fact that you’re suddenly hearing about people practicing these things is not “new age” nonsense, it’s people finally having the visibility and support to do something publicly that it wasn’t safe to share until very recently.

It’s also people who may have never grown up with it, but whose great grandma practiced bits and pieces, who are re-learning from the handful of knowledge keepers how to begin again. That too is not “new ageism” it’s an endangered species growing its population again. It’s a delicate process that is just as important as any telescope.

And lastly, you may want to adjust your tone. You are talking about the murder and total cultural suppression of your opponents’ ancestors. This isn’t about the old CinePlex getting torn down, this is people’s basic tribal identity and their direct ancestors’ slaughter and slavery. These are not things you should just roll over with bravado.
The type tag is to be "parsed out" in some implementation specific way. For instance, we first look at the LSB of the Lisp value. If we find a 0 there, then it's a pointer; we dereference the pointer into some heap record, where we retrieve a second-level type tag. Except that, perhaps, if the whole thing is 0 bits, then it's nil; we must not chase that as a pointer. And we find a 1 in in the LSB, then perhaps we look at other surrounding bits for the type. All of this examination of bits with irregularities and cases looks like parsing.
I'm actually working on a startup where my business interested on aligned with users. We are monetizing mostly through trips, so we can't have fake users and send fake messages. Those won't result in real trips.

This aligns our financial incentives with our user's incentives to have amazing experiences with someone they like. We also have a product for couples, so we won't lose 100% of our users.

I have no idea either... this train of thought is rampant in this thread and other forums. Condemn the use of props in politics without a single thought towards the disgusting behavior of everyone involved who attack children and their parents. Did everyone forget how every politician takes photo ops with babies? The token appearances at disasters? Props are not new to politics but direct harassment of individuals under the age of 18 is thanks to the double-edged sword of global connectedness.

That's true about the potential for bad actor, but it's also true for many false positives.

Passive automations based on location, bluetooth, wifi, etc. stand a good chance of many accidental triggers. Connections are flaky, location accuracy is flaky; without some form of throttling mechanism or way to better control accidental firings, it should remain manual.
What was an isolated incident? Sharing his opinions over email? Certainly not.

Of course I'm not being charitable: the armchair warriors have tried (and, to a large extent, succeeded) to destroy the reputation of a man who we all, collectively, owe a lot to.

Regarding the views, I hardly think that being picky about the semantics of the word "assault" is significant enough grounds for dismissal, and for the whole media outrage that happened.

Nobody really tried "to downplay" his views because they are largely irrelevant to the work that FSF was and is doing. So they stayed as they were: personal views. The most frowned-upon of which he publicly renounced on his personal blog around the time the scandal broke out.
Throwing 75lbs of clothes away in a year blows me away at first glance. I hate shopping for clothes & buying them, I guess I naturally buy stuff built to last and I'm really conservative with fashion I guess. (Which is probably more common for guys).

The item that drives me nuts with disposability at the moment is sneakers. I walk & work out a lot and I'm finding a lot of the running/training type shoes wear out in 3-4 months, the sole is shot but the uppers are totally fine. I'm trying to find more durable shoes to wear for casual wear & walking that actually last.

Stuff that I can get 10 years out of makes me happy. I've successfully done that with stuff like boots & winter coats/mountaineering jackets. Gore Tex has a lot of competitors these days, Gore Tex stuff is really expensive cause of the standards they apply to licensees.. Most of the competing products are cheaper because they don't put as many requirements on the clothing designer. But almost anything I have bought that is a Gore Tex outerwear garment will easily go 10 years which makes it a huge bargain over other stuff.
>Without the ability to invest in new technology, cities can’t catch up with these big technology providers and instead fall back on regulation. For example, Portland, Ore., Seattle, and many other cities have lowered the speed limits on residential streets to 20 miles per hour.

Probably a minority view, but as a semi truck driver who is sometimes routed through residential streets that are nevertheless truck routes, I appreciate these low speed limits. Because I'm probably already going that slow, or slower, and these limits give me two benefits: cover for going that slow, and reducing motivation for people to try to zip around me.

EDIT: And hey, stop trying to zip around me. :-)
If you just pay attention to Twitter and/or the media it's very easy to internalize that narrative.

However, if you actually spend some time on the ground with advocacy groups, unions, non-profits, etc, you'll find the actual story is much different.
