This is incomplete. Negative advertising a) motivates the already-motivated, but more importantly it demotivates the less motivated.

Essentially, your goal as the Democrat is to make the Republican moderate say "a pox on both their houses!"

And yes, it's more complicated than a simple straight line and a fifty-fifty split. We're talking about median positions floating in hyperdimensional issue spaces (the most interesting times in politics are the catastrophic jumps from one local minima to another). But the simplified model has surprising explanatory power.

Edit:

I didn't properly address your argument which, if I read it correctly, is that perfectly symmetrical strategies will cancel out in a perfectly symmetrical race.

That's true, as far as it goes. But the implementation varies, the candidates vary, the electorates vary (especially in the USA where you have gerrymandering -- over here electorates are carved out by an independent commission).

Nevertheless, the beauty-and-bile strategy fits the circumstances better than beauty or bile by itself. It's a minimum viable strategy.
I agree with everything you have said. A hiring manager has every right to be as choosy as he or she chooses. I've read plenty of blogs that talk about how rigorous the hiring process is at company x, how good you have to be to get hired, and how they pass on candidates that would probably be good employees because the damage of a false positive is so much higher than a false negative. All a-ok in my book.

The part that irritates me is when these companies start talking about the serious problem of a shortage of developers. I feel that if you want to throw out many people who would have been good employees, you should accept the consequences - that hiring will be very hard and you will face a shortage of your own making.

I have to disagree. In the last month I have spent literally 10 times the amount of time on G+ than on Facebook because I have been enjoying it more than FB.

I also think the ugly little black bar across all Google apps is the secret sauce: while using other Google products, I see some G+ event and sometimes I drift over to G+ for a minute or two.

I realize that I am not a typical web user, but to me the high value on the web is Google products (including search for work related stuff), Netflix streaming, and Amazon. Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo News, ACM Portal and Hulu+ are not major draws but I still value them.

The solution to that is for AirBNB to offer a compelling value, so that people don't feel the need to bypass them.
They can do this by vetting properties, background checks, offering insurance, etc.
Whatever you are, I'm the same, because it's the second thing I thought of.

But the first thing was that there are a lot of privileged young people out there whose friends might very well have thought a week of utter abandonment and breaking every possible rule would be the height of fun. And yeah, I can easily see that privileged young asshole finding it the height of humor to email the owner every now and then saying how nice the place was - more than likely laughing at how nice the owner actually found the place, if you see what I mean.

I've been a landlord. There is nothing, and I mean nothing at all, that will destroy your faith in humanity more quickly. Seriously. Even though the majority of tenants are perfectly wonderful people, and even though I only had a grand total of six tenants before giving it up as a bad idea, there were some that were just ... well. It's really like a bad dream.

This experience was worse than any of mine, and it was compressed into a single frenetic week of probable partying, but it's the same genre as one particular tenant I'm thinking of. She meant well. Her friends did not. And in the end, I was the one left with the holes punched in the wall, with the dryer stolen, with the garden shed piled to the roof with months-old garbage, with a kitchen floor that could easily have been a bus station, with evidence of a three-inch flood of water from the washing machine, with fleas in the carpet and holes in the yard after she'd signed a clear no-pets clause. (A friend and neighbor of ours owns several apartments in the neighborhood. One of the tenants she evicted had stabbed the refrigerator multiple times. Apparently on a lark.)

So even though it's more fun to imagine it as a conspiracy, I'm afraid the gritty reality is that there are people out there who just don't give a shit about who suffers from their actions, and who think it's fun to damage things.
It's interesting that he quoted the positive parts from EJ's post; but not the negative parts:

My next call was to airbnb.com - I tried their "urgent" line, their email address, their general customer support line. I heard nothing - no response whatsoever - until the following day, 14 sleepless hours later, and only after a desperate call to an airbnb.com freelancer I happen to know helped my case get some attention.
That's not at all what I meant, nor are all academics scientists.
Evolution as a paradigm for making stuff
Voldemort developer here--

Voldemort to LevelDB is what MySQL is to InnoDB: Voldemort is a distributed system that allows multiple engines to be plugged in. Mostly commonly, companies use either BerkeleyDB or MySQL as a storage engine. LinkedIn, Mendeley, EBay and others also use the read only storage engine, where the data is pre-built in Hadoop and loaded into Voldemort.

I am really excited about LevelDB: while there are higher priority projects on my plate right now, we'd very much like to see a LevelDB storage engine. If anyone is interested in contributing one, they're welcome.

The steps are:

1) Creating JNI bindings to LevelDB (or creating a .so version of LevelDB and creating JNA bindings)

2) Implementing the StorageEngine interface with the bindings, including passing in any configuration.

Here is an example of a third party InnoDB/Haildb storage engine for Voldemort:

I would be interested in _how_ someone would develop an automated system for detecting child pornography, as has been said not only is the legal definition subjective, but it would appear that possession and analysis is illegal.

That would make building a training set hard ....

I can only imagine those responsible for developing such systems would require serious therapy as well.
I love this article because it nicely allows C-level execs to understand the ROI of usability and design. So often at larger companies, these areas lack budgets purely for the fact that it is so hard to quantify the returns i.e. with just general "positive" user experience. Here we can see a pure a before/after A/B type situation that had far-reaching consequences.

Who cares whose fault it is? It's illegal, they get arrested, it's simple really.

> You don't blame someone for stealing from a bank when they pile gold bullion in the entrance without a guard in sight. You blame the bank because that's fucking stupid.

Sure, you can do that. That, and arrest the person too because, you know, they broke the law.
Since this is the third story on this topic on the FP today, I figured a wisecrack is in order.

THN Review : Ghost in the Wires - Kevin Mitnick
AirBNB has a huge asymmetric trust problem. The hosts have real physical addresses and need to be able to take a payment. Hosts can easily be held accountable.

The guests on the other hand could be anyone. The company's attitude seems to be that allowing the host to interview the guest over email is sufficient to vet the guest. That's absurd. I don't have any special ability to identify a con artist vs. an honest person, and neither does anyone else.

What would be a good solution? Here's a partial solution: require guests to make a partial payment on the credit card they intend to use 30 days before their first booking. This would at least offer some security that the card wasn't stolen. Also of course ban pre-paid cards.

"is actually lying to you"

I really don't like accusations of lying even if it is accurate (not the case here). I think we need to clean up our discourse and treat people with the benefit of the doubt as much as we can. Public conversations have become so coarse and argumentative.

I was once temporarily limited (with threat of suspension) by PayPal, and was asked to provide documentation from Apple that I was legally authorized to act as a reseller for their products. However, as I do not sell Apple products, but instead sell products that are used with Apple products, I obviously do not need such paperwork.

In my case, I called them, had a kind conversation with a random customer support representative (as, at the time, I did not have a specified account manager), and it was cleared up: took about an hour, and I've had very little trouble ever since (I was once sent through "account underwriting", but that was not a serious undertaking).

I am very curious, therefore, what "went down" during your phone call with PayPal that made them start treating you so poorly: that has never been the experience I've had working with them. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say I /like/ PayPal, and go out of my way to use them for ludicrous things like paying contractors and employees.

This already happens within regular hotel environments people have to be realistic and more sensible when renting out their living areas.

Additionally, Airbnb or another company should start to offer, FOR A Fee, a form of insurance to cover situations like this unfortunate scenario.
Not sure why you would say that.

If you buy a stock from me, and I talk to 1000 more people just like you, who all buy more shares of the same stock, I will have a view that this stock is getting a lot of interest. Nothing illegal or criminal about that.
So now we think that because Google wanted to lock the presentation of this video in a very specific browser so that it runs in the very specific way they want to without dealing with every minor complication that can occur in every one of the 98743 browsers that "support" HTML 5 and CSS 3, it means that they are sending a message about locking up the web for themselves?

This is purely sensationalist bullshit, reading into actions that have no ulterior motives.

Partial Class and Contructors
Age-Related Memory Loss Reversed in Monkeys
I interviewed at a Google campus in Kirkland. Unimpressed. Overrated madly, in my opinion. I expected a lot, a lot better campus, sorry. The buildings were boring and I couldn't find the right one because NONE OF THEM have a visible building number.

There is no map of the campus (hell, even community colleges have maps). The parking didn't have cover so after staying under hot sun, my car became extremely hot.

Unpleasant experience to say the least. People were cool, though.

I just had a much better feeling from Microsoft campus than Google's campus.
Yes, there's another similar book called The Planiverse by A.K. Dewdney that demonstrates a vertical plane-world with a host of 2d innovations necessary for working mechanics and biology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Planiverse
Completely agree. Just to point out the logic you are using, for each factor that you deem relevant (i.e. now bile in addition to beauty), an exhaustive combination of factors will be the minimum viable strategy since it will fit better. I could continue to list additional factors in addition to these two and those additional ones would also be part of the minimum viable strategy.
It would be more useful to me to know who they aren't. I know there are bad VCs and bad lawyers; I just care that mine aren't :)
The article is naturally pop-ish. The actual Principles book from the website is quite interesting though. It comes off sounding a bit like a self-help book, but nonetheless it attempts to solve certain significant issues in large organizations. People begin to worry about ego, credit, allies, etc. Values that are relevant to doing a good job - understanding a problem, finding the right solution, being honest - are no longer a priority. These are all values that might be easy to keep in a start-up sized business, but the question is, how do you scale these values to a large 1000+ person organization? Perhaps Bridgewater has this answer.
LSM-Tree is good!
Very impressive, but why did they need the cameras? All they needed were external flash units and they could still have been triggered without attaching to the cameras. But the cameras add to the impressiveness..
@pbreit Most companies (not going to name names) know involving people or an entire team is what is needed to deliver great support but put in efforts to cap usage in that direction to make more money(which is okay). The lie here is how they claim they are by what they are doing helping their customers offer awesome support. Our contention is there are more sensible ways to monetize and we have no qualms calling a lie a lie.

The homepage is supposed to be imdex with an 'M', because of a Rails issue.
Data structures which require a disk seek per random insert are obsolete. LevelDB is using a Log-Structured Merge Tree, one of many write-optimized data structures (but not the best).
my thoughts as well. i'm surprised they didn't try to actually shoot with the cameras and use the resulting photos..?
I didn't know what happened when it first cropped up. I didn't hear the details till later.

This is kinda what I have been struggling with. The copywriting and keyword optimization.

Never in a thousand years did I think it would be so difficult.

I don't understand - why has it been such a big deal to raise the debt ceiling this time? I mean, didn't they do it 7 times in bush's 8 years, and 5 times in the last ~4 years of obama's presidency? If they've done it roughly once a year for the last 12 years, why the big deal this time?
Honestly, with the recent NPR story and discussions as of late, I thought this was going to be about patents.

Some of these conversations strike me as a very Western view-point of religion, God and theism/atheism.

Religions like Buddhism, Jainism, Advaita Vedanta, Taoism and many eastern 'mystical' traditions don't actually talk about creator deities and the other meta-physics to which these scientists are non-believers.
you mean use the photos to make the video? According to the fastcompany page you can view some photos taken from the cameras on the Brightsiren web page, but I couldn't find them.

There might be interesting potential for making a stop-motion video at the same time, but I bet that's offset by the number of photos where the exposure was waaay too off.
Yeah, I thought there was going to be some crazy Matrix-style 360 degree spins, or something.
The point I guess I was making was that this is part of the minimum viable strategy because Hotelling's Law applies only weakly in the voluntary voting case.
