Imagine in the future, you have any question about your data, instead of spending weeks or months creating data warehousing, combining data, etc. you could simply ask the AI to show you information that you want, as well as it being smart enough to notice things about the data you aren't already looking at, it would be both proactive and reactive for you
I think what the author means is that a lot of the businesses CLAIMING to be "socially driven" are pure BS, not that the very idea of a socially driven business is inherently BS.

Which would make sense to me.
WRT josefresco's request for evidence, could we not discourage these requests by downvoting? I keep seeing this lately, and I don't think he could have phrased it more politely. Whether the data (or lack of it) strengthens or weakens the argument, any challenge improves the quality of discussion, especially polite ones.
I don't understand the overt, superficial purpose of H-1B visas. If you have a company that needs one, and a foreigner who qualifies for it, why would it not be better for the public in every possible circumstance to just grant that foreign person an unconditional work visa and automatically enroll them for consideration for permanent residency?

And then I put my foil hat on, and the voices tell me that the H-1B program must not be for the benefit of the public, and that both the American workers and the foreigners with visas are being exploited for the benefit of the corporate sponsors.

The only benefit I see here to essentially doubling the number of available guest workers under H-1B is that the affected spouses are free to change employers and to quit from unsuitable employment without being deported. That makes them better off than the person that actually has the sponsorship!

I was looking into temporal filtering algorithms, but clearly your fix is much simpler and better. Sometimes, simplicity trumps sophistication.

I find your vitriol unwelcome and inappropriate for a discussion that could be and ought to be constructive. I could spend some time explaining my position and defending my previous comment to you, but you haven't earned that.

I will note, however, that questions like the one I posed are in general useful to open up discussion about something new like this. Instead of viewing it as an attack, see it as initiating some exposition on specific cases where this would be useful.

I'd argue that boarding times are generally irrelevant, despite being annoying. If you walk up to the gate a minute before they close it, you'll walk right on. So waiting in that long line for slow boarding is essentially a choice.

Except for Southwest, since they don't have assigned seats.
Probably true. However, I do like the "observations from an outsider" perspective. He came to the bay area and spent all his time in SF. Therefore, from at least one persons perspective, SF is Silicon Valley and PA/MV aren't.
> And Amazon AWS remind me how many major down time incidents have they had ;-)

Not sure if you were joking or not; I've managed thousands of instances in AWS across the world, and while us-east-1 continues to have issues occasionally, their DNS has been rock solid. Netflix uses them (with some UltraDNS for geolocation-based redirection, which Route53 doesn't support). That's good enough for me.
I think SpaceX is awesome, but NASA's engineers aren't bozos or incompetent. The entire space shuttle history is one of competing and conflicting political ambitions all being shoved onto it, and that's why the whole thing is hard for any engineer to do right.

That said, I think it's pretty obvious that even after SpaceX successfully lands a Stage 1, they are going to do lots of simulated and real-world testing before using one for any customer cargo.

I can see the day in the future, though, when a first stage that has been launched 2 or 3 times is considered safer than a first stage that has been launched 0 times. I anticipate a bathtub curve of failures.
Thank you! I'm really happy with your service and I hope to use your paid services in the future :)
Let me answer the question you asked, and, then the question that you did not ask.

The fastest and dependably assured way to make a million dollars to build a product/service that is profitable and sell it. If you can project annual profits of more than $100K, you can sell it for a million dollars. Want concrete examples:

- There is this guy who provides "Text Messaging" service to his B2B customers. So, he will go to your local gas station, ask them to sign up their customers' telephone numbers, then sends texts to their signed up customers with their coupon special on non-busy times like "20% off on oil change on wednesday before lunch". These coupons get pretty good response. If you use Twilio, it costs $1 to send 100 coupons. So he charges them $30/Month to send out 4 texts to 100 customers. Net profit: $26/month per customer. Spend this year, and, go around within your 30 mile radius, sign up a bunch of businesses and get rich.

- This guy built a profitable business in a very unsexy category: maidsinblack.com. He writes about it on Reddit sometimes. Check it out.

- A guy places, seriously, mylar balloons at flower shops, hospital shops, etc. And takes a cut of the sales. Makes $60K a year.

Ok. So now the question that you did not ask: to college or not to college.

I know there is an opinion floating around that in this age of easily accessible self learning, you can skip college. Here is the thing though: to be a successful business owner/manager, you have to make a lot of decisions. And that means a lot of analysis, data etc. Intuition/gut-check helps; but analysis is the foundation that can not be taken away. So working backwards from this, to do/understand analysis, you have to be pretty good at unsexy things like Math, Logical Reasoning, Model Building. Now, you can learn all that on your own. But will you have the self-discipline to do it on your own -- or will the structure/rigor of a college (even evening courses at a community college) be a better way?

Sometimes when you look around, you think people like Bezos just sit in meetings and make decisions while someone else does the analysis and presents them with alternatives. That could not be further from the truth; to make good decisions, 1-2 big ones and 10-20 small ones every day, you have to be able to quickly understand the "insides" of an analysis -- and for that you can not avoid at least the foundations of an numbers based education. And, don't forget, there was a time not too long ago (1995?) when Bezos went around looking for money for his start-up; he did all that analysis/projections all by himself. It doesn't hurt your persuasion skills if you are good with numbers and can counter with numbers when they have objections.
Tax reporting is voluntary, you are taxed on the income you report and people don't report income all the time because it'd be impractical for the IRS to care; for example no one reports income gained from having a yard sale and no one's afraid of that getting them in trouble because it's a petty amount of money.

Just because you're scared of the consequences of getting caught lying doesn't mean lying isn't a voluntary option. Voluntary doesn't mean free of consequences. You are free to voluntarily lie about your income to the IRS, you are not free from the consequences of doing so should you get caught in a big lie.

Tax reporting is voluntary. Taxes are not. I'm not nitpicking, I'm stating facts clearly.

You tried to make the point that people won't report their Bitcoin income to the IRS; you are wrong, people aren't going to suddenly all start committing tax fraud just because you would. Most people will stay within the law and report any significant income because that's what people do. Most people aren't political radicals looking to bring down the system and they don't care about your ideals. You are not representative of most people; you are a dissident.
Came here to say this. McMaster-Carr has being improving their site to the point where there is no guessing at what the part you are buying is. Heck, even their iPad app makes an enjoyable user experience for buying bearings.
Yeah, it is a shame. I'm getting some checkerboarding there too as my Chromebook Pixel can't always keep up with rendering the surfaces when scrolling quickly.

Funnily enough my (a lot slower) Nexus 7 scrolls much better. That is what points me towards 3D drivers.

But anyway, shall we talk about Flowhub itself? ;-)
That's pretty neat! I use the following (slower, but short enough that it sticks in my memory so I can do it at a colleague's machine):

find . -name "*.jar" | xargs -tn1 unzip -l | grep SomeClass
DigitalOcean, it's not shared hosting and therefore harder to configure, that being said it's definitely worth it. I've found that even on a low-end VPS you can juice it for more than you could with a high-end shared hosting account.
I think you're reading it wrong.

What he's saying is: many socially-driven businesses are pure BS. That doesn't mean he doesn't believe that a genuine socially-driven business can be built to solve that problem.
Firebug exists and is great in some ways, but it is dog slow for complex apps. Chrome's dev tools blow it out of the water.

The Firefox team has been doing an awesome job on the native dev tools lately, and they're fast. If you haven't tried them out recently, you should.
From what I have heard, the first stage will come in aimed away at the landing, or anything else, and then perform the divert maneuver that they've been testing with Grasshopper/F9R-Dev to put itself over the landing site at the last moment. That way if anything goes wrong before the last few seconds, the rocket won't fall where it was suppose to land.

They are definitely planning on doing boost-back to the general area of the launch site though, not aiming for a target down-range. The launch this weekend will have them bringing the stage back closer to land than the previous attempt.
yeah, EWR comes under Newark. Though I should consider merging metropolitan areas beyond cities.

I work in educational technology for a school district of ~5000 students. I am also a Google certified trainer. My opinion is obviously bias, but here it goes.

1) It will integrate with my current student database (active directory, synced with Google through GADS)

2) It will work with the tech my teachers are already comfortable using (Google Drive)

3) It solves a problem I already have, rather than giving me new ones to deal with. I already have teachers struggling to assign/grade/return assignments using their Google accounts. If I were to set up (for example) Moodle, now I have a list of new problems (managing _another_ set of accounts, integrating it with our scheduling system)

4) Staff interest. I'm going to get more people to come to my PD if I say "Come learn about Google Classroom", than if I say "Come learn about blackboard"

Last, and most importantly

5) Price. It's free. I don't have to ask the board for permission, I don't have to create a future cost projection, I don't even have to make a PO. I just have to turn it on and train the staff.

I'm excited for this.
Having taken an interest in this topic, and having watched the Sentate hearing (among others) where the ULA was asked to defend/validate it's model I find there's "sour grapes" everywhere among the incumbent players.

You could easily swap the quoted line with this (related to Tesla) and it would still make sense:

"We tried to make an electric car before," ... "Look how long and how much money it took for us to do that, and we still weren't successful for all parts."
My first impressions of San Francisco were quite opposite of yours -- it was ugly, dirty, smelly and scary. I went for a conference and was in a nice hotel downtown. I went out to grab some dinner at night and couldn't wait to get back, lots of weirdos out on the street. I've been to cities all over the world and never felt as uncomfortable as I did in SF. Maybe I just got unlucky that night...
In Opera 12 i get only a black page on which i can scroll down a bit to more black.
I personally have run into issues where the document wouldn't update after I made changes to the CSS in the developer tools. I had no problems making the exact same changes in Google Chrome. It only takes a few inconsistencies to destroy trust.
Yeah, you were probably in the Tenderloin. The worst part of the city.
He didn't say they can't be successful.
> However, we don't read text vertically, we read it horizontally (I know there are exceptions, but not in any significant programming languages that I know of).

I think we do read code vertically and it is significant in all programming languages, and I think that it is a core problem with acceptance of Lisps, because they unusually strongly avoid leveraging the two-dimensional nature of typical code editing environments in favor of having pretty much the perfect purely-horizontal syntax.

> So I would say that while both cases have the problem that we can only observe whitespace by the characters that surround them, in the vertical whitespace that happens at a coarser, less ambiguous level than horizontal whitespace.

I do think there is an ambiguity difference, but its not because we read horizontally but not vertically, but because horizontal whitespace in common use -- i.e., that people are used to using on a keyboard in the context of programming -- is limited to newlines (and, while there are different means of expressing newlines, they are mostly driven by platform rather than personal preference and are, in any case, easy to account for), whereas tab/space holy wars are as old as line oriented PLs that allow indentation (whether they are sensitive to it or not).

Personally I would like git tutorials to include a lot more of common mistakes, and what to do when things go wrong. Getting up to speed with the basics of git for basic version control, branching/merging is fairly straight forward.

It's when things don't go as planned it's easy to feel trapped in a corner. e.g. did a git pull that causes a merge, how to undo that step and do a git pull --rebase instead. How to dig yourself out of doing a git merge in the wrong branch. How to revert the 4th last commit only etc.
How much does that vacation cost?
They know nothing about reusability. Not even NASA has operated a truly reusable vehicle, the "reusability" of Shuttle was a joke (it still cost >$1 billion per flight) and they made every mistake possible when designing the vehicle. In contrast, Falcon 9 is an enormously simple launcher and reusability should be not only fairly straightforward but also advantageous. Moreover, because reusability of the F9 will actually save money (as opposed to the Shuttle where it required a massive ongoing operational cost) it will allow more money for ongoing development of improved vehicles (which SpaceX is already working on).

Additionally, SpaceX isn't dumb, they've already tested running their engines through multiple cycles on test stands, they know the issues they'll run into and they have a reasonable idea how long they can expect to use them (spoilers: lots). And SpaceX has been operating reusable rockets over the course of several flights in the form of the the Grasshopper and F-9R-Dev vehicles which they've used for test flights.
One quick, effective and probably not entirely illegal manner to raise the issue would simply be putting a sign on top of any comcast user's pageview saying something like, "Since your internet provider has forced us to pay X amount of money per GB to provide our service to your specific account, and we currently haven't figured out a cost scheme to account for that, your movie viewing experience is being adjusted to fit our current costs. (hyperlink)Tell Comcast how you feel about this."
lol wat?

That's an..'interesting' parsing of what he's saying. Is it just me or is it fairly apparent to most others that he's likely saying he's surprised that homelessness in general isn't being tackled (without speaking to the likelihood of success) by a startup, and he then follows by stating the obvious: that most startups who talk about 'changing the world' are blowing smoke. Of course, the unstated insinuation being that a startup aiming to reduce homelessness would actually be worthy of that title. Not sure why you jumped to the least generous interpretation possible but I'd bet a lot of money that there's no there there.
The Amazon site is simply horrible compared to somebody who actually knows what they're doing: Mcmaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/

I get why Amazon owns consumer online retail. But I just don't see how that success can translate to success in industrial products. Different DNA.
You don't need to be passionate about the product of your business. Tony Hsieh may not care that much about shoes, but he cares tremendously about customer service and employee satisfaction. He's not making happy shoes, he's making happy customers and happy employees.

Frankly, lots of businesses don't require "passion" in the eros sense about the product. One doesn't become passionate about dry cleaning, or transmission overhauls, or phlebotomy. The vast majority of jobs pay because they're necessary but not interesting. Products that inspire deep passion, like music or farming, rarely pay well, because passion is its own reward.

If you want to make money, become really good at doing something that doesn't inspire passion, preferably something that most people really hate or fear. Get rewarded with pride in quality work, and the pay that comes with doing something that sucks for people who need it done.
Apigility 1.0.0 Released
Especially since the Rails way is not "decoupling" in any real sense. Splitting tightly coupled code into multiple files != decoupling.

I also like that in Django, you declare the fields on the models first and then create the db migrations from them, rather than writing a db migration first to determine what fields the models have.
Most operations are client side so you can model very quickly and the server catches up even if you are on slow connections.

Right now Boolean operations are also client side, this allows for things like this animated Boolean scene (press play):

http://clara.io/view/86e0579a-4dc8-4145-81a8-6ad9f765b30b

We may be introduce server side Boolean operations that are more robust, but less flexible. There is a limit to the complexity of the code we can run client side and the best Boolean algorithms are actually really complex/costly and thus hard to easily execute in the client.
I agree.

I feel like Ikea's main innovation was to integrate programmed obsolescence in tasteful furniture. Before I knew Ikea, buying a new bookshelf every couple years was foreign to me. Now, I have to take into consideration that any furniture I get there might break or bend under normal use, that even a wok might lose its non-stick surface after only a few uses, and many more reasons for my older relatives to make fun of me and my shiny purchases.

I recently graduated from Ikea though, and most of the furniture in my apartment is also custom built. Best decision I took in the last couple of years (this, and learning Haskell)
Are there any (English language) search engines that aren't based in the USA / other Five Eyes state / other state that co-operates with the USA on Internet surveillance?
The reason for the temporary nature of H1-Bs is that it's an attempt to provide a responsive immigration policy. Just because you can't find a US citizen to fill a role now, doesn't mean that 10 years from now you won't be.

If 10 years from now a pool of qualified US workers becomes available, the H1-B approval would need to be repeated, the labor certification would fail and the immigrant would not be allowed to fill the role.

I'm certainly not saying it's the best way to handle it, but that's the logic behind the current rules.
Are you implying that the two are mutually exclusive? Solving homelessness is not an economic problem. There are so many factors involved, that you can have a great economy with low unemployment but tons of homeless people.
"A startup to solve the homeless problem" is the Golden Hammer Antipattern in action.

"We have software startups and they're amazing, so they can solve any problem".
As someone who has read countless resumes for the standard set of tech jobs, one page should be more than enough space. If you have a portfolio or can point to online projects you've worked on, then put a link in the resume so potential employers can review your work if they're interested.

I used to say that if you have more than a page there better be a Nobel prize on the 2nd page. However, these days if you put more than a page worth of stuff in your resume then chances are few people will read that far. Maybe that's okay if you're keyword stuffing for machines to parse your resume, but I suspect you're applying for the wrong jobs if you do that. Just the highlights please.
At least advise people to create github accounts for their flowhub activity which they add as collaborators to their projects.
And maybe you'd like to share with the rest of us exactly where you get your knowledge eh.

My point was that the PIRA one of the most effective terrorist organisations in recent times did look at model planes/drones and discarded then as not an effective weapon/tactic.

Brigade 55 are of course the circa 2000 foreign fighters imported into Afghanistan and used as a cadre.

but as you seem to be so well informed you should know that.
Anybody who qualifies BSD/MIT style licenses as "business-friendly" and juxtapositions that with "copyleft", thereby implying that copy left is anti-business is not someone advocating copy left.

Quite the contrary, the whole suggestive false premise is remarkably similar to 90's style anti-GPL FUD. Unless the the author is a card carrying communist and believes anti-business is a good thing, I would say he's not a big fan of copy left.
> Christophe Bonnal of the launcher directorate at French space agency CNES, agrees. “If you reuse, you stop producing, depending on the level of reusability,” he says. “So you end up with a permanent prototype, and to keep costs down you need to have a high rate of production.”

I am not a rocket scientist. So someone please explain to me why this quote isn't the single stupidest thing I've read all day.
How would you control for people who gain citizenship but can't find jobs?
SpaceX has tried to parachute back several first stages, without success. Parachutes for something that heavy and going that fast are very heavy and prone to failure. They also limit you to dropping it in the drink; avoiding that is key to the success of a reusable rocket.
I would absolutely be interested in this. Go for it and let us know when you release it!
You emphasize a lot. But all it takes is creating a copy of nodejs from /usr/bin and putting it back with the name node. Not much tweaking at all...
