Well unfortunately for Disney, my main TV box is an Ubuntu NUC so I will definitely not be subscribing to it.
Just like when the NHL did the same - when there were better piracy options than your paid for service (which I might add I had no problem paying for for years) - you want to ask questions.
What gives you that impression? Arguably, it was his early $700 million parachute that undermined the WeWork IPO.
This is largely to taste. An apostrophe doesn't always mean it's possessive, as just demonstrated, but it is also used for plural abbreviations or for numbers (like 1960's).

Casual English is fairly fluid. People rarely talk exactly according to the rules of English class.
I feel I need to do a shout-out to the publication Crikey and the TV show Media Watch. They're two Australian pillars of telling hard truths around the actual situations (as opposed to the narrative that politics or other groups are attempting to push).

It's all well and good for the papers to be in support of press freedoms, but they've been all but silent on on-going prosecutions of non-journalist whistleblowers such as Witness K (and now his lawyer Bernard Collaery is being brought up on similar charges), and the fact that journalists and Doctors aren't allowed to visit offshore detention centres.

The same newspapers redacting their front pages are those that fawn over Australia's anti-science stance on Climate Change and anti-humanitarian immigration policies. They're pro-authoritarianism except when it comes to what they consider to be their little patch.

Crikey and Media Watch are of great value in exposing the hypocrisy of the majority of Australia's mainstream media.

I remember using a work sponsored subscription to Compuserve back in the day, and finding it incredibly useful. Signal to noise ratio was awesome (for a pretty narrow set of subject areas). I guess there’s something to be said - in certain domains - for a real, direct cost, acting as a barrier to bots and “frivolous” use. Having to pay to publish (and to consume) separates the diamonds from the diarrhoea. However this is really just saying that “walled gardens” are nice. I don’t think a return to this approach is viable except in specific knowledge domains (where the knowledge is explicitly highly valued). Espresso machine reviews (as per example floating around in this thread) may not be such a domain.
This seems strikingly similar to Travis Kalanick being paid to leave Uber. Is Benchmark involved?
It's slightly over one percent of the money Softbank has/will put in, from what I've read.
This is a great suggestion! We will definitely consider it! Thanks for your support.
They agreed to terms giving the founder control, and they're apparently still unable to walk away.
The peacetime version of WeWork that you envision already exists, it's called IWG. It's roughly the same size as WeWork but it's only worth $4.5b. Paying $5b for 70% of it doesn't seem like a good idea.
Disagree, there is a big difference between investing 200m where you can expect a return on investment and just giving someone 200m to go away. There is a return on the other money SoftBank has invested, but the 200m itself is a cost, and rather large. Most money transfers of this size are exchanges of capital for equity or debt, not gifts of cash.
I think we need to use machine learning, feeding it a corpus of all fair government decisions across a selection of successful governments over the last 1000 years.
The law says that you should stop at a yellow light. The yellow light is an announcement that it will become red, so a though break isn't necessary. Sure a classic law/solution that doesn't consider how humans beings think :-)
I've thought about this and my own take on it is this is actually an opportunity that has not yet been exploited. The cost of the hardware is $50 now, but that has only recently become the case.

Your reaction might be that it has been $50 for like 5 or 10 years now, and if so my response is that in this area, that is recent. It's a pretty slow-moving, late adopter industry. Most of the equipment getting installed probably hasn't been redesigned in years or decades. The people approving stuff want to buy from known vendors. The vendors are making money steadily now and don't want to go out on a limb with unproven tech.

Which doesn't mean it's impossible. I interpret it the opposite way: the fact that it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't or can't. I would expect it to take this long or longer.

Also, I think the angle for getting this adopted isn't really efficiency, it's cost saving. Right now, some lights are on sensors (instead of just timing) but they do it with induction loops (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop). If you could match or surpass the reliability of those at a lower cost, you might get people to switch.

But once you've crossed that hurdle, you can improve efficiency too, of course.

Of course, you have to keep in mind that the camera has to be mounted in the proper position. So it's probably not really $50 of hardware unless you can (in most cases, at least) piggyback on something that already exists. Although that seems possible because the signal light does need to be visible by cars approaching the intersection.

Hum, I'm not familiar with ruminant (i.e. cow) digestion but I think you're right in suggesting there's greater complexity here when associating cattle with the use of modern agriculture practices (haber-bosch process).

Regarding the parent's comment, the 1800 pounds-of-water-for-pound-of-beef figure seems to be sourced from https://waterfootprint.org/media/downloads/Report-48-WaterFo... (which won't say 1799 because it's metric) https://www.watercalculator.org/footprints/beef-king-big-wat... seems to aggregate various estimates.

To direct the conversation towards solutions, Project drawdown (https://www.drawdown.org) mentions Silvopasture practices (closely related to Joel Salatin style farming). That said, reducing the amount of intensively-cultivated corn grown ultimately still means reducing the number of cattle (we're ~80-90% more than 100yrs ago) and seemingly less meat consumption per capita.
This. There's some really knowledgeable people over in /r/coffee that set me straight when picking out my espresso machine and grinder.
WeWork is where the bulk of his wealth has come from correct?

I would think a lucrative exit would be better than a potential fight with SoftBank.

Yeah. If an average person thinks MIMO stands for Massive Inputs and Outputs that's not a bad mistake. If someone purporting to speak with authority on the subject of RF radiation thinks that, it's grounds to suspect them of being a blithering fool.
That doesn't solve anything. I use countless docker images. My PII/other data of value is also stored on a bunch of hosts who I have no oversight or control over, I'm sure at least some of those rely on random fragments of code sourced from repos.

It'll only be a matter of time before there's a huge breach as a result of tainted software ending up in a popular docker build, github repo, or packaged into a mainstream Linux distro repo.

I have no idea if distros inspect package source, last time I googled it, I couldn't find any indication either way.
Hi Jonathan, I'm the author of the article and I definitely agree with you. At the time of my writing of this article I had just begun creating puzzle games myself and I just tried to pull together all I could find on the topic.

I stepped away from all this for awhile now to actually create instead of just doing research and found that many of my initial ideas were flawed. What you mentioned is incredibly insightful and I hope you'd allow me to directly quote you and edit my post so that others who visit will be able to better understand the whole scary but wonderful process of puzzle game design.

Goes without saying, but I am a huge fan of your work and you as a person so I'm incredibly honored by your response. That said, I hope that I have not mistakenly misdirected the audience by putting words into your mouth in the form of advice. Please let me know if there are other portions of this that you find incorrect.

Either way, thank you for all you've done!

Particulates are another major maritime emission.

Bunker fuel is also heavy in contaminants, including heavy metals, which can also affect local regions (ports, shipping lanes). Most (though not all) are fairly short-lived in the biosophere, at least compared to CO2.

Otherwise largely agreed. I'd commented similarly about 10 days ago:

He owns enough the voting shares to control the company. The investors can either buy control or have everybody walk away with nothing.
Well you raise the obvious question of "how much is built around this sort of thing?".

My gut reaction is that not all that much of it is, and if it's increasing, it's simply due to global low interest rates.
This is what it was like.[1]

No, that is nothing like bitcoin. Stock options get exercised at fair market value and you immediately owe taxes on the paper profits, even if you never get a cashout. For example, if your strike is 10 cents and when you finally exercise the FMV of the company is $1 per share, you have 90 cents of profit per share even if the company is still private.

Bitcoin is a commodity, if you buy at $10k and the value drops to $5k, you have straight losses. You don’t owe taxes on paper gains unlike the totally ridiculous and insane situation with stock options. The government blows.
No. And, thankfully, I had not early-exercised any of my options, either.
I think many would call for punishment of the WeWork CEO, along with the investors who failed their due diligence. Sometimes the law of the day does not deliver justice. Seems like another instance where everyone not taken in by the hype saw the crash coming.
> Divorce, scandal, drug addiction and various other personal issues can all be financially ruinous.

This is well-said. James Hughes advocates families account their balance sheets on human, intellectual, financial, and social capital. For very-long-term (50-100+ years and >3 generations), the human, social, and intellectual components are arguably more important than the financial one, and it is essential to mitigate liabilities like divorce etc.

That's a fair point, I haven't considered that it is entirely possible to just not want to bother due to one's experience with read only SOs perceived pedantry, as opposed to hostility.
I guess that's why investors tell you to, "diversify your investments".
I don't think I can change your mind but functionally I have a much better expetience and in many cases a simpler experience than in the past. Lots of lessons were learned and continue to be learned. I mean,popularity aside forums,IRC,Skype (use it everyday!) and all the old tech is mostly still there. In many ways isn't less more? Would you prefer forums with millions of active users or IRC channels with 100K+ active users? I think the internet is big enough and diverse enough to satisfy most people. But the trendy and popular stuff isn't meant for people who like the older internet much like SMS wasn't meant for people who love pagers and email wasn't meant to satisfy people that like to write paper mail,so long as there are enough enthusiasts of a tech it will live on but the future will continue to look a lot less like the past. For me after not using IRC for quite a while I used Matrix and it looked so much and so little like IRC,I think it's a good example of how more internet users means more things that satisfy more groups. One size fits all doesn't scale.
I imagine if everyone starts doing this, Reddit will suffer the exact same fate as the internet described here.

To me this feels a bit like saying the music scene used to be better but now it's all calculated pop garbage. But really the music scene is bigger and more diverse than ever, it's just that pop music is what you'll find on the front page if you will.

The surface of anything, be it a city, street, store, product, hobby, etc, will always be susceptible to marketing and manipulation.

If you first-result your way to visit a new country you can easily end up flying to its main city, take an extremely expensive taxi from the airport to some luxurious looking hotel, where a tour company has scheduled your entire stay in various touristic areas and restaurants.

Some people enjoy this experience, and there's nothing wrong with it, but it's a typical first-result experience of traveling.
EM Drive take two.
I do this for almost everything not just products. Reddit is a useful place to find real humans discussing something on the internet, but also at a simple beginner friendly level. Usually there are more specialized forums (esp for something like espresso) but they require excessive time or expertise to understand. On the other hand if you want a deep discussion reddit can be hit or miss.
As another commenter mentioned, append "Reddit" to your query. It was a huge help when researching my nicer espresso machine and grinder. I've also had luck once I manage to find an active forum elsewhere for a given topic like homebarista for espresso. I can then likewise modify queries with that site.
My mistake, I actually got the order wrong because I don't ever need to think about it..
The author literally said that he read that in a newspaper, so one of you is wrong.

Costs are comparative and opportunity costs.

What are the alternatives of transport mode A to transport mode B?

Per ton-mile (or tonne-km) nothing matches marine shipping. The alternatives to shipping entirely might merit consideration though.

And induced consumption (shipping of X is now so inexpensive that consumption of X increases manyfold), a/k/a the Jevons Paradox, is another major factor.
I buy $100 shoes. They typically last me about 3 years. $40,000 worth of shoes assuming they last just as long per $ (Wrong but its the only way this comparison works) would last me many lifetimes.

There is simply no way that a person could spend that much on shoes in a lifetime and it be a good idea. One thing I am considering is going slightly up and getting a pair of $600 leather boots since I know someone who has been wearing the same pair for 10 years now and just has the sole replaced.

If you exercised at market price then there's no tax liability. The shares are yours now; your exercise price is your cost basis, and you pay capital gains taxes when you sell on the difference between sale price and exercise price.

The situation that caught lots of employees in the dot-com bubble is that they exercised stock options where the market price at time of exercise was a lot more than the strike price (which means an income tax liability for the difference), but then there was a lockup and they weren't able to sell the stock until after it had dropped significantly. As a result, they had tax bills that were higher than the market value of the stocks they owned.

Can't say I read it myself, but what you said seems like a pretty good metaphor for what it's like dealing with people who make generalizations about Millennials. Particularly when it comes to accusations of entitlement.
I wasn't out of college long, but I managed to survive two layoffs where I worked. We had almost no turnover in developers for a year or two because basically no one was hiring, normal for that job at that time was probably around 20% per year if not higher. There were no jobs to have, some of the people that were laid off didn't get jobs for upwards of a year, and some of those I know that did, ended up moving to get a job (I am not in one of the top 3 cities for it). They also really didn't give raises or promotions during that time either.

When I was in school, the comp sci program was so full it was hard to get into classes, hard to find a computer free in a lab to do the assignments/projects. The same college a few years later didn't have that problem from people I talked to. I never looked up the numbers, but I would imagine the number of people going into it dropped quite a bit, at least if the anecdotal stories I heard are to be believed.

Where I worked had nothing to do with experimental tech or anything, we lived on selling somewhat specialized, expensive software and hardware. The problem was, no one wanted to spend money.

It was somewhat demoralizing, as the second round of layoffs really hurt and it wasn't a fun job anymore, but I couldn't do anything about that for awhile.

I also know people who invested poorly that had all of their savings evaporated. Some people were paid partially in stock that pretty much went to 0 very quickly. It wasn't the best time.

I see what you mean, but when it comes to the rigor required to putting together a good question, this is no different than say filling in an issue template when reporting a bug or asking for support in a Github repository, right? Do you avoid that for the same reason? Not that I would blame you, I for one hate filling in overly defensive issue templates designed to discourage drive by shitty issue posters, but inadvertently alienating otherwise decent posters, such as (hopefully) myself.
Well, it was nearly 20 years ago and with SoX and all the other regulations, the fintech industry now is essentially unrecognizable from what it was then. I worked for a bulge-bracket investment bank whose business today is dramatically different and a hedge fund that is no longer solvent. The reason it was good for me was that I was an inexperienced developer and I got to work with much more talented developers in an environment where results mattered. I learned a lot and became a lot better myself.
> "none of the younger team members knew how to relate with them which made day to day interactions a lot more awkward than they would have been otherwise."

If they're out of school and in the workforce, and they don't know how to interact with people older than themselves, that's honestly kind of pathetic.

I worked for etoys.com in London and Santa Monica. Was worth $6bn at peak market cap and got delisted after dropping from $80 a share to below a buck. I survived multiple layoffs. Ran their warehouse management software for Europe. Lots of people got screwed. Big tax bills after exercising options and not selling and watching it drop. Family investing and losing everything. The perl community was fairly invested in etoys because we were a big Perl Apache and MySQL shop. Met my wife there. Was fun during the good times but layoffs suck and so does having the job market shrink. Taught my wife and I what not to do and how to run a lean but growing biz. Today we run a self funding company of 40 people in the cybersecurity space. So it all worked out just fine.

>what makes 50s rock n roll sound the way it does, what makes funk sound the way it does

I meant, on a fairly basic level, no music literacy required: Listen to lots of 50s rock and roll songs. Listen to what the drums are doing. Listen to what the bass is doing. Listen to what the guitar(s) are doing, the singer, horns etc for every part. Focus on one instrument at a time, for the whole track. Do that for a range of songs, the more the better. (Also ask more overarching questions - is it fast/slow? predominantly major/minor? swing feel/straight 8 feel? And the song form - intro, verse, chorus etc - what does the form do. And how does what the instruments do change in these different sections..etc) Then do the same with, say, James Brown songs from the late 60s. Then I think you would have a very good idea what makes the two sound like they do, and so different from each other.

Just reading a line or two in a book about the difference - even a page or chapter - won't tell you much in comparison.
And on the opposite side you have Nintendo, known for some of the most beloved games in the world. They have the "Mario Club" and playtest extensively. They test often and continuously. They can test every day if they want. Adjust the jump height 10%, ask the Mario Club if the game got better. In this way they iterate on game play far more than just about any other game company I know of. The biggest benefit is they get feedback early. Most game devs wait until their game is "presentable" which basically means they've already spent too much time making what they've made that they can't change anything except minor tweaks. Nintendo gets feedback early and often.
In both the NBA and NFL, younger players are subject to the draft and there are caps on rookie contracts, and in the NFL young players only get restricted free agency. Similar restrictions and caps for younger, less-experienced players also exist in organized baseball.
Well, that's not why Google are doing it. Perhaps I'm mistaken about their motivations?!?
