WeWork's CEO Steps Down
I don't think they will shut down WeLive. The entire premise of WeWork, and WeLive, is that they can sell you more than real estate -- they can sell you a "tribe." There are so many reports in recent years about growing social isolation and loneliness, that if something can be successfully packaged into a simulacrum of a community, it will be a hot item indeed. That's the only way WeWork can justify its stratospheric investments, and it is the market they will aim to dominate.
While naming conflicts aren't necessarily always a problem, given that you specifically describe aspects of the problem as a "git for X", you should know that "quilt" is already the name of a popular piece of version control software.

A purchase is a transaction between two parties, each with incomplete information. You can certainly get more than you pay for and there are at least two situations where that's true.

First, if you have a lot of money, the relative or marginal value of money for you is probably pretty low. You could spend a lot on something, and actually get lots of utility and value from it, exceeding the value of the money.

Second, you could just have useful information about the thing that you're purchasing that the seller lacks, or you could have skills or some other ability to extract greater value out of the item you purchase. For example - a property or building that you happen to be able to rent, sell or otherwise turn into a profitable business.
I'm 50/50 on this. Part of me really agrees with you -- you need time and practice and mistakes to learn this stuff. But also, I'm not sure it has to be wall clock time.

Four years at university gets you breadth that is probably good for you as a human, and probably important for contextualizing your work as an engineer (oh hey, history might be a valuable lesson for your understanding of ethics. Art and literature might combine with your computer science degree to inspire projects natural language processing or generative art.)

I think it's possible to condense down from 4 years for someone who is highly motivated and self driven. And honestly, I think many, many people's careers would benefit from going partway down the computer science path -- being able to script repetitive tasks or diagnose computer issues methodically will help you wherever you land.

Totally different scam than Theranos. WeWork is a cult (like Apple), and has a poor business model, but it at least works.
It just doesn't generate enough money, like with the Texas shale oil boom. Everybody thinks it's great, but it's not, they are loosing money and no turnaround in sight.

It can't be complete and all there is, because it doesn't explain everything we know exists. To simply quote wikipedia:

"It does not fully explain baryon asymmetry, incorporate the full theory of gravitation as described by general relativity, or account for the accelerating expansion of the Universe as possibly described by dark energy. The model does not contain any viable dark matter particle that possesses all of the required properties deduced from observational cosmology. It also does not incorporate neutrino oscillations and their non-zero masses."

Everyone should through the Sedgewick and Cormen textbooks. I wish I'd done it earlier.

Thanks. We were careful to publish as `quilt3` on PyPI, so there are no naming conflicts with the `quilt` patch manager. We are also "Quilt Data, Inc." officially.

Our thesis is that blob storage is already "git for data" and the interesting problems, which we're working on in the open source, are to build a cross-functional data portal atop that base.
You seem to have missed an important word in the grand poster's story: monasteries are opening up their rooms to paying guests. Sanctus Benedictus never set any rule about renting rooms and selling breakfasts.

By the way, monasteries existed long before the Benedict order, and other orders existed in parallel. Some monasteries did not welcome visitors, especially women and couples.

The solution for chronic pain is to prescribe opiates on an ongoing basis. The solution for addiction is to prescribe opiates on an ongoing basis. That might be methadone or suboxone or something more common like oxycodone or morphine. What happened to your wife should never have happened. It's tragic that incompetent organizations like the CDC and others still haven't realized this and are driven by unscientific drug war hysteria rather than scientific approaches to recovery. Not only do addicts suffer, but chronic pain sufferers also suffer. Often there is no difference between the two groups.

Let me give you an insight into the thought process here:

'It's not unethical if I don't feel bad about it.'

The key to operating this way to is cultivate a sense of belief in your own BS - inspire others by having the 'vision thing', saying 'I wish you could see what I can see' etc. Ignore anything negative and devote as little thought to it as possible because what people are buying into is your sunny disposition - they don't really want to analyze your stuff, they want to feel the way you look: radiantly confident. So you just think happy thoughts and if anyone asks you troubling questions re-articulate your vision of heaven/ profits/ national pride/ whatever and make a performance of being nurtured by that beautiful vision alone, before mentioning that anyone can share it for 3 easy payments of $____.
FYI, the Stanford marshmallow experiment was shown to be a bit more problematic as of some new research in 2018. The recent study suggests we drew the wrong conclusions from the original. The recent study also corresponds awfully conveniently to the modern zeitgeist, however, which may also be problematic.

> Labour's current policies would be far worse than Brexit.

Is that so? From the notoriously left-wing Telegraph a couple of weeks ago:

"Corbyn better than no-deal Brexit, say investment banks" course they had to add "as anti-capitalist Labour wins unlikely new City fans"

They try their best, bless 'em, to spin him as devil incarnate, but Citibank and Deutsche Bank sound unconvinced. The FT was much more open minded reporting the same news.

Corbyn's and Labour's biggest problem is their refusal to take a side yet. "It depends" is hardly a vote winning stratagem. Had they made up their sodding mind, we might easily have had a Corbyn government by now. Most of their other policies sit well with the populace.

That's the safe bet for sure. I'm predicting a paradigm shift. An interesting thing is that 6 of the current top 10 (Java, Python, C#, VB.net, Javascript, PHP) came out between 1991 - 2001, during the web paradigm shift. The 2004 list had 5 of those. So on rare occasions you do see some seismic change that catapults new languages to the top unusually quickly.

It's not about growth in the aggregate, but rather that sustainability in the individual startup is sacrificed for growth.

In some cases, this ends up working out. (See: Amazon) How many companies have failed because they were a 10 million company that was trying to be a billion dollar company and flamed out?

,,Tesla’s losses are piling up despite record unit sales''

Tesla has losses _because of_ record unit sales.

Increasing manufacturing capacity is capital intensive. It would be much easier for Tesla to stop expanding and just sell luxury vehicles, but that's not the goal of Tesla (and it would be a bad long term financial decision).

Anecdata from following business and public sector news since the 1980s. Consider all the companies that would lay people off, claiming a headcount reduction, and give them a one-time package. So there is an immediate hit, to be made up for in the long run by lower ongoing operating costs, right?

Only nope, the eliminated functions were still necessary, so many of the laid-off employees come back as consultants, and charge more than their fully loaded costs as former employees.

Companies doing that gained a certain amount of flexibility, it’s always easier to get rid of a consultant than an employee, but all-too-often the company would trumpet the reduction in headcount and savings in salaries, while saying nothing about the need to increase operating costs on consultants, &c.

Again, I have no visibility into WeWork. Anything could be going on there. I simply don’t automatically grant that companies can perform big layoffs and magically only get rid of people who were producing less than they cost. And I don’t automatically grant that companies will perform the layoffs, and then actually realize the gains they promised.

I disagree, reducing headcount for sustainability could be disastrous. It could leave to decreased productivity, decreased customer satisfaction, and a multitude of other things that could lead to a reduction or destruction of the business.

You are moving the goalposts. The topic here is that people misjudge a problem but believe they are correct.
This is basically the take-away of much of modern philosophical thought (absurdism/existentialism). Existence precedes essence... we are thrust into the world with no 'idea' of what's meaningful or important. People gravitate to those who have well-defined vision since working towards something (even if that thing is ultimately flawed in some
way) feels better than idly spinning your wheels waiting to die.

>Lightspeed doesn't allow for that on websites if you're far enough from the servers.

This is a hint that you're writing for the wrong platform. Write real apps.
That's the optimistic approach.

Shopify went through something similar -- offering their product for free, taking a cut of any transacted products. But they realized that it incentivized companies who, deep down, knew they would never make a dollar. So it was okay to sign up for the 'free' ecommerce software, because they were never going to make a dime.

It also _dis_incentivized companies that were actually selling things, because taking a cut of every transaction is too expensive if you're really driving volume.

In short, WeWork is attractive to companies that, deep down, know they aren't going to grow. These companies minimize long-term exposure by paying more short-term. The companies that are _confident_ they will grow have no problem signing 5-year leases. It's the long-term prudent thing to do, and drastically cheaper.
Same here, and only by reading the headlines. A WeWork recruiter reached out to me. I laughed out loud and added it to the list of companies I would never work for. Not only do they do nothing interesting, but they are apparently unethical as well.

No doubt another failed tech bro pump 'n dump scheme headed to the dustbin of history.
The management page will tell you if there's an update. I don't remember if it lets you update it from there, because I always login through SSH and run the update command anyway. I rarely need to change blocklists; mostly I temporarily disable blocking for a few seconds for something else to work.

I run my Pihole on an Ubuntu system with other things (not running on a Raspberry Pi), so my issues might not be yours. The update process always resets the management port. After rebooting the system, I have to manually restart the Pihole process for Pihole to work.

> It's impossible. Lightspeed doesn't allow for that on websites if you're far enough from the servers.

Your second sentence explains why the first is wrong. Yes, you can’t have the entire world using a single server but it’s never been easier to get servers around the world and the new edge compute services are further improving that.
It isn't, corporate leadership is effectively a tournament and CEO and executive salaries are the prize for winning it. The point of having a high prize is to get a lot of people to compete for it, not to reward the winners for the effort they've put it (which may only be slightly more than the runner up, while the reward is several times what the runner up gets).

Like, do you think the best golfer in the PGA tournament is "really worth" ten times as much money as the 14th best golfer? Did they work ten times as hard?
