On the contrary, the best sales person is the person who built it. They know what they’re talking about, they love the product, they can answer 100% of the questions with no bullshit, and customers can feel it.

Good customers love buying from founders. The most productive selling period of my life was when I downed tools for 5 years and went on the road with my sales manager.

The way I would describe it is that the primality of a number is almost completely unrelated to these images. The image is chosen beforehand, then a set of integers is chosen that each looks recognizably close to that image, then that set is searched for one that is prime (which is not unusual). Primality is the chosen attribute simply because it’s widely known and considered to be interesting in popular mathematics. People would be less impressed by images constructed with the binary representation of numbers divisible by 1,000,000, even though that may be a rarer property than primality for the magnitude of numbers considered.

Yes but at some point your feature updates will lead to bloat and maintenance issues. There is a problem with accumulating features before getting customers too. You will not know which ones are actually wanted and which you should have cut. But of course any feature will have some users so removing them afterwards will lead to complaints.

In my case publishing a relatively unknown app, any kind of press obliterates the increase in customers due to features.

I guess 80% of my revenue was made on days of and immediately following press releases.

Reminds me of yesterday trying to collect a hire car in central Stockholm from a Hertz "intelligent locker":

1. Texted PIN to get into garage didn't work. After 5 minutes just tailed someone else through the door.

2. Locker rejected non-Euro drivers license. Call to contact centre overcame it.

3. "Prefilled" customer details were all wrong and didn't match confirmation email. So 10 minutes to retype them.

4. Exit boom gate wouldn't open. Garage said to call hire company. Hire company said they cannot open it. 3-way call resulted in garage employee begrudgingly pressing a button to remotely open it.

Not to single out Hertz, last week we returned an Avis car to the reservation specified location at the correct time (10 pm), but a sign there stated the key drop was "permanently closed" and to deliver it 5 km away. We had an overnight train to catch so were forced to urgently do so and incur the return taxi fare.

I'm unsure how far society can keep shoving incompetent automation down peoples' throats. I understand that people generally want to save money, but I think many want high-impact experiences (like 3 kids + 2 adults + transport mode changes) to go smoothly enough they will happily a little pay more to derisk it.

Solving Problems Properly Is Often Not Viable
Any JIT needs an interpreter to run code sections that are not compiled (yet), and large sections (I don't have any statistics, but I would guess a very sizable majority) of the code is 'cold' and will never get compiled at all. Compiling bytecode to machine code is a relatively expensive operation in itself so it only makes sense to do it for 'hot' sections (loops, functions that get called many times, etc).
That’s correct. However, the formalism is widely known as second quantization within the physics community. It’s therefore the terminology that is used in practice.

I think the basic idea of make is brilliant and still very useful. Compare time stamps of files and if there is a file A that is newer than file B and that is needed to make file B, then make B again, with the provided command.

The problem is trying to put any more functionality into it than that. Everything more complex than this basic functionality should be instead implemented in a script that gets called by make to rebuild the given file.

The notion that unemployment (or other economic) statistics are manipulated is neither novel nor confined to the US specifically.

Whether it's generally accurate is another question.

But a Google Scholar search will (along with numerous false hits) turn up multiple discussions:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C39&q=une...

I've chosen Scholar rather than a general Web (or literature) search as the frequency of this accusation online or in the general press is so common as to be a trope, though you can repeat my query in either.

My own read is that unemployment is at best an incomplete metric for reasons expressed in the Brookings article: it fails to consider wages or compensation, and a large number of low-wage, low-skill, low-opportunity jobs really isn't commensurate with a strong labour sector.

If there is a script for the movie subtitles will often be identical to the script even if the actors deviated from it.
Much simpler and quicker to do than having somebody transcribe everything that was actually said and then having someone watch everything again to make sure it was transcribed correctly.
Well, the linked study suggests watching with foreign audio and foreign language subtitles, not merely with foreign audio alone.
> Google-caliber people might be able to be reasonable about this...

I'm not sure about that. Google certainly has some very talented people among their developers, but most of them are so bad at programming that they had to invent their own heavily watered down programming language.
I see this littered all over the comments:

Subtitles are not transcripts. They don't match word for word, mainly due to space and time constraints.

A lot of amateur subtitlers time the subtitle with the time of the spoken word, making them almost unreadable. Long text that pop up for a short time does not help convey meaning.

You want a short text, that anticipates what is being said. The reader of the subtitle is after all watching a movie, and might have their eyes elsewhere - They are not reading karaoke lyrics!
It doesn't look like it, unfortunately.

I have a hard time interpreting your question.

When you write "demands are met", does "demands" refer to the requirements of the Earth's ecosystems, or the requests of the people who want to prevent climate change - and if so, which of the people?

It's looking like it will take a few hundred years to meet the ecosystem demands. I can't pretend to see that far in the future.

But, suppose we went back in time 20 years in an alternative reality where Al Gore and a Green Congress were able to push through major structural changes to remove the climate change threat.

We would still be looking at inequality of power both monetarily - Gates' wealth and that of a small number of other billionaires has given them a a horrendous and non-democratic ability to change the US educational system, and the overall result has been negative - and due to racism - we are still suffering from the effects of colonialism, slavery, and racial segregation and discrimination.

Thing is, I believe the inequality of power has helped lead to climate change, so if climate change is somehow fixed then perhaps those inequality issues must also have been addressed.

Wouldn't know. It works OK for me and I use it on daily basis across several devices.
The other key take away I had was:

> "Boeing knew the approach might be questioned [Calling MCAS a simple addition to Speed Trim], so it sought input from its FAA-designated authorized representative (AR) "to ensure this strategy is acceptable” for certification.

> "After speaking with the [AR], concurrence was provided that we can continue to use the MCAS nomenclature internally...while still considering MCAS to be an addition to the Speed Trim function,” the memo said. "This will allow us to maintain the MCAS nomenclature while not driving additional work due to training impacts and maintenance manual expansions

I can imagine some Boeing employees being uncomfortable, but having it run past the FAA would have relieved that. Pretty shocking regulatory lapse. I know nothing about the AR system - is this a Boeing employee, or someone who works full-time for the FAA?

>Wealth is always "stolen". Behind every great wealth is a great crime. Wealth is generate by theft of assets ( land, oil, resources ) or theft of labor.

You're making misleading use of language so it's hard to believe you're arguing sincerely. Offering someone compensation for doing something for you is not what most people would consider "theft". You can't just take a word meaning one thing, change its meaning, then assume all the judgements about the old meaning also apply to the new meaning.

Yes. There's a number of other ways to get around this too, one that comes to mind is mmap. Plus I'm fairly sure spawning a new thread would work as well: one because it's possible to do so without it being watched, and two because you can TOCTOU, from another thread, the registers while they're being verified.
I don't think so. The space-cadet keyboard had a FRONT key and it predates the canon cat by at least a few years: It literally referred to the characters on the front of the keycaps (as opposed to the top).
I remember in the Bourne Identity (book), the main character puts a rock in his shoe, which forced him to change his gait to not be noticed by surveillance. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that were effective in real life.
This is huge! Student debt in the USA is slavery. Donald Trump is allowed to write off $150m for a failed casino, but I'm not allowed to write off $100k if I'm disabled and will never be able to pay back. That's not right.

America just cut our education budget by 10% ($7bn), while increasing our holy-war budget by $30bn. Considering we give $4bn per year to Israel to fight it's wars, I'm starting to wonder what the hell I get for the $50k I give Uncle Sam every year.

No education, no healthcare, no housing, but more war, more welfare for billionaires and big-oil/big-agriculture, but NOTHING for the average Joe.

I see people say this a lot, but the details of the equity investment really do matter.

For example, an equity investment that gives the investor rights to 10% of the student's income for 20 years, capped at $100,000 total, is not at all the same thing as rights to 100% of income in perpetuity (which would be closer to "slavery" as commonly understood). Note that student loans that are large enough to not be effectively payable are a lot closer to the latter than to the former.

"Slavery" also tends to come with legal restrictions of various sorts (on freedom of movement, freedom to make various choices, etc, etc) and inequality before the law (different punishments for the same behavior). Those sorts of things are emphatically _not_ being suggested in modern-day equity financing.

(There are also income-dependent loans, including with expiration dates; in practice those can be hard to tell apart from equity financing with a finite time horizon and a payout cap. The UK has been funding college via such loans along these lines for close to a decade now, I believe.)

Anyway, the most important question here from my point of view is how to properly align incentives. With equity financing, _if_ the student is interested in having a good income it is very much in the financer's interest to help that along (via mentorship, access to professional networks, etc), and incentives align well. If the financer is the university itself, that also provides incentives to produce graduates who can get a reasonable job. Of course if the student's goal is _not_ a "good income" we end up with incentive misalignment; similar if we want a university education to provide more than preparation for productive employment. (This last is already a problem in practice if universities get rated on how their students do in the workplace, by the way.) So I won't claim that equity financing is the right thing in all cases, but there are definitely situations where it would be a lot better than what we have now, and I think people should have the choice of financing their education this way if they want to.

Well Boeing knew that the MAX did not behave like the NG so there's that. Even if the airlines and Boeing went along with that farce there's at least a couple of entries in ASRS where pilots complained that they didn't feel prepared to fly the MAX. One mentioned that the instrumentation was sufficiently different that their usual pattern of visually scanning the instruments did not work with the MAX and that monitoring the instruments in the MAX required significantly more effort. The implication was that additional training and familiarity with the specifics of the MAX would reduce the cognitive load.
A few years ago (well probably over 20 by now) an older family member asked for my email address since I was going travelling and they wanted to keep in touch with this new-fangled technology they were about to "sign a contract" for.

I never heard a thing from them for the entire time I was away.

So when I finally got back I paid a visit to show them photographs from my trip (I had a 1.3MB digital camera about the size of a small chicken back then). ANd I noticed a piece of paper stuck to the fridge and on it was written {my name}@hotmale.com

Noether’s Theorem – A Quick Explanation (2019)
It doesn't matter what the driver is, if A over time has continuously demonstrated the ability to achieve higher returns on their wealth than B has, absent other evidence (ceteris parabis) it's reasonable to assume this trend will continue in future. Yes there are some people who got wealthy only through inheritance, but the money they inherited still had to be originally created by someone capable of generating wealth.
