ncmncm> Motions of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn? Opinions of enthusiasts with pet theories? What are you talking about?

It was pretty clear to me what @matthewdgreen was talking about.
No rational person could possibly see where you might be going with this.

The relevance of the assumption is that I made the statement "the education in this country has failed us" - us being you and I. So the relevance is that we both live in the same country regardless of our race, gender identity, or sexuality. I am not how you managed to pull all of those things in.

I am indeed blown away by marketting efforts around this. They successfully and continuously targetted me on FB and the ad was effective enough to make me click. Now I see they got on HN which is hard for even legitimately deserving posts. They know their target demographic extremely well and knows how to get noticed. The ultimate give away for me was the fact that this cannot be good in-person class given such a huge marketting effort and potential enrollment that might be in order of 10s of thousands. Ultimately it's no more than buying a lesson video.
I strongly recommend Georgia Tech's ISYE6501X course, "Introduction to Analytics Modeling" - available at edX.org[0] The professor, Joel Sokol, is a masterful lecturer with excellent pacing and a great intuition for guessing what the audience will be thinking at any given point in a lecture, and quickly addressing those thoughts.

The curriculum of the course covers foundational knowledge requisite for machine learning, data analytics, big data. The course does a fantastic job of breaking down how to select the most appropriate method for any given situation you might run into, and how to critically compare the results of various methods to see which worked best.

Personally I feel this material should be included in every STEM major's undergraduate coursework. And I'm usually displeased with the quality of online MOOC's; this particular course truly stands out.

The actual topics discussed include:

Support vector machines (SVM), classification, clustering, principal component analysis (PCA), Bayesian modeling, exponential smoothing (ARIMA, GARCH), decision trees, Markov chains, k-mean, k-nn, Q-Q plots, probability distributions, and graph analysis. Software used included R, Python, and Rockwell’s Arena Simulation Software.

The 100K years timeframe is more believable than a random cutoff 12K years B.C. Humans are way too advanced species to progress from monkeys to what we are now in just a few thousand years. I'd say it's taken close to 18 millions years since humans were advanced monkeys, but even then the difference between a "regular monkey" and an "advanced monkey that can make tools for hunting" is massive and needs an extended period of prehistory.
How does the listing status affect employees with lockups? If you can't sell for a month (or whatever), wouldn't you benefit from any increase in price immediately after listing? If the price when the lockup period ends is the same, why would an employee care?

(I don't know how it works, I'm actually asking)
Unfortunately, in the US, if your son receives Social Security disability checks, he can lose them by proving he is able to work ( https://philip.greenspun.com/blog/2017/09/20/social-security... , note that page refers to two different disability programs: one based on the disabled person's own work record, the other where a child can qualify for disability payments based on their parent's work record: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10026.pdf ). It's a terrible disincentive that even trying to do something can disqualify you for the safety net you would need if your attempt fails.

Some states (say, Nevada) have wonderful programs and can assign you a social worker or other advocate who can recommend organizations that might help. Other states (say, South Carolina) are more bare-bones, or require you to fill out a 100-page application to be put on a multi-year waiting list before you can access the state's impressive resources. If you don't already know where your state fits on that continuum, you might want to ask your county health department or local school district (even if your son has aged out of their programs, they should know who to talk to).

I usually get pain in my little fingers after typing a lot. Switch to Dvorak has really helped, but I still had some trouble with typing "special characters". Using shift and cmd put a lot of strain on my left little finger.

What has been a huge boon for me is using pedals for the shift modifier keys. So to hold down shift I press down my right foot. That way I let my little fingers rest a bit and I have to use one finger less for key combinations.

It took me maybe a week to get back to (almost) my normal typing speed. And for me typing speed isn't the limiting factor when programming, it's my brain.

I also use the Advantage2 keyboard, note how the keyboard is "hollowed out". This means that my fingers can rest comfortably and not "bend backwards". Also note that modifier keys are placed by the thumbs.

So to sum up:

- Dvorak

- Advantage2 [https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage2/]

- Advantage Triple Pedal [https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage-triple-pedal-refurbi...]
Unless his agreement has anti-dilution, or a favorable termination clause, the Technical founder owns nothing. The investor & founder can fire him/her, then dilute their vested shares to 3%, 1%, or even less.

Speaking as someone who worked in the PR sector. This reads like an article crafted to influence public opinion by polish the truthful elements while downplaying their flaws.

It's been established that "selective whistleblowing" articles are deemed to be more trustworthy than official marketing statements. Therefore, it would be foolish for corporates to not exploit that to their advantage.

> I can't think of any company names that I'm not a customer of.

I actually find this hard to believe.

I can name at least several car companies that sell cars I can't afford and probably never will (Porche, Ferrari, Lotus, Aston Martin, McLaren, or even Tesla). I prefer Coke over Pepsi and don't buy soda unless I'm at a fast food place yet I recognize at least a dozen brands. I don't shop at Walmart when I don't need (< once a year) to and never been to a Sam's club. I don't own Cyberpunk or even a Windows machine. I haven't been to a McDonald's in the last 5 years except when presented with no alternative (~3 times?). I've never played CandyCrush yet you can't open a Windows machine or a phone app without being bombarded with it (Angry Birds used to be like that too). You can't open Reddit without political memes (many are actually ads). Every single one of these companies/products has also advertised to me and I'm willing to bet you as well.

Either you're able to afford a lavish lifestyle or I'd like to know how I could live in this blissful world that you found (and escape the advertised filled one I live in).
If he/she has these protections, they would not have posted asking for help. Truth is they likely have very few options, can be terminated any time the shareholder & founder want, and whatever shares they own will be diluted to 3% or less if they choose.
Discussed in the paper:

> These food groups, which are an important part of the Mediteranean diet, are associated with an increased abundance of bacteria with anti-inflammatory properties. That well-studied diet is known not only to affect the gut microbiome by increasing the abundance of microbes that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), but also to shorten episodes of depression.
But don't you think it's weird to resent a lazy boss more than passive owners who don't work at all for that income?
"These days, the company takes security extremely seriously. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find many nation states that have as sophisticated a security approach as Amazon does."

Sounds like PR fluff. Maybe the crappy nation states have poorer posture, but decent nation states tend to have decent knowledge of security principles, decent isolation of data and tenants within networks, various physically enforced unidirectional links and decent actionable threat intelligence, none of which are necessarily evidenced for Amazon by the interviewee. Additional evidence to back the claim would have been nice. I am not saying nations do not make security mistakes, they make plenty, but I am not convinced it is due to a somehow inferior or less sophisticated approach.

"They might, but ultimately the security standards of their data centers are always going to be lower than those of a cloud provider like AWS. A cloud provider has many tenants and they can have economies of scale that let them have more sophisticated security systems than someone fully managing their systems in-house."

Interestingly, the economies of scale argument, while true, cuts both ways, because there is an economic limit to securing shared infrastructure. The business model of AWS and other CSPs is to multiplex access to shared resources, thereby introducing multi-tenancy issues as well as putting more eggs in the one basket, which is much more lucrative for an adversary to target. I think a mature cybersecurity engineer should be aware of the tradeoff, seems this one is somewhat biased.

I am not sure if it is intentional, but marketing a big truck with guns may be capitalizing on conflating security with the perception of security. Can someone please explain why the truck being giant adds to security? Is it harder for it to roll over on the freeway and cause bits to spill?
What's kinda funky is that the LA County minimum wage only applies to Unincorporated areas, so if you're in the city of Pomona or wherever the minimum wage is still $13
While we're on the topic, let's take a moment to remind ourselves that New York Times journalists are directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians (mostly women and children) in Iraq, Syria, Libya.

Judith Miller won a Pulitzer for reporting that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction".

Also, here's a fun activity. Go to the NYT website, and search "nicholas kristof libya". He promoted US support of regime-change of Libya in several articles before the US decided to give air-cover to the rebels. Then the entire country fell apart and millions of refugees went elsewhere (including all the way to Europe), and since then he never once (not once) mentioned Libya again.

P.S.: What's going on in Libya now that Nicholas Kristof got his regime-change? Selling of slaves in open markets: https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2018/03/21/595497429/...
While serving more ads! I remember reading in Ready Player One about IOI controlling most people's internet connections and mentally drawing a parallel to Google at the time, thinking that would be a huge monopoly if Google not only served the online services, the laptop hardware, the laptop software, and now also the uplink itself. And indeed, a few months after I read the book, they announced the fiber project. Then Google and Facebook were going to give people in Africa internet with balloons and stuff. Now we can add this initiative.

It's really getting there: ISPs are shifting from a specialized business (they may do TV, web hosting, etc. as well, but it's always related services together) to something that comes bundled with your favorite ad service. They have the money to outcompete any existing ISP they like, so long as they somehow manage to dodge anti-anticompetition laws they can really give the non-ad-supported services a tough time. Ads is were we're headed, it would seem.
Perhaps I'm not doing a good job of explaining. Let me try again.

1. The color space of the EV's display (and even the wide-gamut monitors available for desktop use) do no fully encompass the colors we can see. https://i2.wp.com/digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/... for a diagrammatic example of common colorspaces vs. what our eyes are capable of perceiving. In particular, the greens and purples are abbreviated, and I prefer composing with the true colors in my eyepiece.

2. Knowing the condition of the light before it hits the sensor lets me compose more accurately. If I'm looking at the true light, I can tell at a glance if there is detail worth working to preserve in the highlights or shadows (by using a split neutral density filter, for example, to bring the sky brightness down some) or not.

3. I'm not talking about edge-to-edge clarity. I'm referring to the depth of the focal plane, and the rate of falloff. If you're shooting with a very wide aperture before infinity-focus distance, the plane is going to be very narrow, and seeing the rate of the falloff is easier when it isn't pixelated.

Hope that helps.
The volatility may not directly impact employees with lockups, though there are two potential outcomes. First, the volatility could cause issues even after the 'cooling off' that would take place over that month. Second, the 'lost capital', which was captured by the investment bank is lost to the company, so the company is in a weaker state, both because having a weaker balance sheet is bad, and because it could have used the money.

Tl;DR: There are no substantive criticisms, but apparently the style wasn't to the reviewer's taste.

Here's an extract:

Finally there is the title. “Bit player?” Shannon is the most important applied mathematician and inventor of the late 20th and early 21st century. Nobody else comes close. What would they call a documentary on Maxwell? “Waves haggis-man?” What would their clever title for Newton be? “Calculus apple-noggin sperdo?” Napoleon’s documentary is “big hat frog midget.” How about calling your documentary of Freud “Pervert Schlomo” while you’re at it. What fucking pinhead planet are you from calling a documentary of Shannon “Bit player?” Die in a fire, you fucking philistines!

(Apparently the author missed that "Bit Player" is a play on the idea that Shannon played with bits, and is unfamiliar with the idea that association of a title with a common saying makes people more comfortable with the idea that'll enjoy watching it)
My view is that all advertising is manipulation. I don't think it's possible to separate the two. Just some forms of manipulation are fairly benign, while others aren't.

Still, I think banning advertising is a bad idea, even if I personally would be happy if I never saw a bit of advertising again in my life. It can perform a valuable function, especially if there's an underdog that is trying to offer a competing widget, say one that is more sustainable and also cheaper. Without advertising, I could see a large incumbent making it nearly impossible for this underdog to make a dent, which would harm customers of that product category.

In that case the advertising isn't "hey, I'm going to use psychology to convince you to buy this thing you don't have and don't really need" (the thing I object to), but "hey, I know you already buy this thing, but I'd like you to consider buying my version of it, which is objectively and factually better than the thing you're already buying". I think that is valuable information to get into the hands of potential customers.

But I just don't see a way of legislating away the psychological-manipulation types of ads while keeping the genuinely informative and useful kind, at least not without purveyors of the former finding loopholes to pretend that they're pushing the latter.

What crypto enthusiasts miss is that owning a share of Apple grants you a right to a portion of their current cash + future profits (net of debt). A Bitcoin grants you nothing but that Bitcoin - that’s what people mean when they say stocks have “intrinsic value”. Apple will never go to zero because they have a boatload of cash and the ability to make more. If there are fewer shareholders, existing ones just get a larger portion of the profits but the market cap will never drop below the current cash - debt.
I read the article but it's unclear if the type of stuff that invades the body, especially the placenta are nano-plastics? I mean what type of products would we need to stop using if we wanted to actually take this issue, I find it hard to believe that "all" plastic" use would be bad by default, I'm sure some uses must be much worse than others.

It does mention in the article that this plastic is likely from cosmetics, which I cannot believe there are plastic in cosmetics, wow.

Thinking thing from things like tyre dust, cosmetics etc.
Paradoxically, 'Starlink' may have more measurable economic value for unintended customers rather than 'rural folks' etc..

For example, urban homes and companies may want to chose them for any number of reasons and if they do, their willingness to pay may be higher than for rural folks and definitely higher than rural folks in Africa.

There probably is no market-based way to to do such a thing if there are global bidders for a resource unless there's some kind of non-market intervention such as Starlink setting aside a certain bandwidth per nation, or per economic tranche etc.

Novel solutions to the rural/distance problem are welcome. Even it's just literally 'a higher tower' as long as it works and is sustainable/cheap.
You seem to be in fact correct. Most CEOs actually earn less than that. Which makes the 2.2 million average even crazier.

You can use the exact same name and filing a trademark actually is more useful to help existing trademark holders delineate and remove ambiguity. It at least removes their claim as they obsessively try to defend how they understand the world.

This story really stuck with me when I came across it here[0] last year because of the way it's written.

As a few have pointed out, the Twitter messages are just "paraphrasing" the article if you put it nicely. Putting a few references after doing the original sources injustice by telling just half of the story doesn't make it okay either.

Is this some kind of new tactic to grow your audience? I was raised to be honest, I worked in industries the consequences of being dishonest is supposedly absolutely unacceptable, but in most cases people who are dishonest usually get further ahead than most with little to no punishments. Seeing this get so much attention is very demoralising.

A lot of people saying you own 40% of this startup so you need to fight for it are giving you bad advice. Based on what you said, you don't own anything yet because you haven't vested any shares.

If you are a Corporation, and your corporation is setup in a standard way with your partner as the CEO, he can fire you. They only thing you can do is go to your board of directors and plead your case. The board has the ability to fire the CEO, so they can force him to retain you.

If you are an LLC, then you don't really have a cap table and there is a good chance there is no vesting. You have something else. You need to read your operating agreement. It will define who has the real ownership and how the buy out process works.
Seems more BBS than I had thought it was. Are these numbers just like regular French phone #s or were they a mintel-specific access mechanism?

Also what was French voice phone service billed like back then? Did you have to pay per minute for non-local calls (or all calls, even)?
Yep, just did the same. Thanks for confirming that it also works for you.
Obviously. But when people call Russia a bully, I rather doubt that they're anthropomorphizing them to that degree. And calling them a bully gives a convenient shorthand for both describing their behavior and stating that it's problematic.

I think you're confusing Switch and 3DS. They changed the Switch so that most games can be cloud-saved, and it'll automatically copy your saves if you have two systems with the same games on them. Game licenses also carry with you if you're online with multiple systems, and the offline half of the license can be remotely revoked and transferred.

Animal Crossing and Pokemon are outliers. The former has a backup system that only can be used if you call Nintendo customer support. If you plan your transfer ahead of time you can do it yourself, 3DS-style, but it took them multiple updates to implement that. (Part of this is because the island is owned by the system, not individual users, which is an odd design choice.) I have no idea how Game Freak expects you to keep your Pokemon saves safe.
