Your question makes sense. It is more work for people who desperately need work.

The problem is that dollars have marginal utility. The first $X you make per month is your housing and your food. People who are not getting that livable minimum are at a huge disadvantage in negotiations. They will do almost anything to get that $X. This means they will accept low pay, poor conditions, awful hours - anything you can think of - to make it. This also represents a massive subsidy to businesses that have good economies of scale.

This kind of brinkmanship with total collapse has very personal consequences. If a parent can't do it for more than one or two days a year (if that), their kid(s) may become homeless or stuck in the foster system. You should care about that because society bears a large portion of the costs (the costs are high). That level of stress causes people to make mistakes, sometimes about things you care about.

The goal of labor protections is to ensure some minimum level of human decency and allow people time to improve their lot. Aside from the risks to us outlined above, the risk of a population that is too beset with surviving to pay attention or vote should be pretty obvious.
Thank you for posting this. I do not personally work with animals, but I knew there must be a way to convert doses between mice and humans given how often my colleagues test drugs on rats and mice.

No. Our service will pickup from your location at the point you need to ship.
Depends on the trading strategy. There's a surprising number of trading shops that do niche strategies that don't make much money but have zero competition. The trading development cost is correspondingly low.
Well, you're hand-waving that it can so it works both ways. Again, you're ignoring that people can walk away from this and nobody else is doing the exact same thing.
> Sounds pretty similar to the much-derided MPAA/RIAA lawsuits.

Yes, if you dismiss the fact that Uber is a millions-of-dollars business and the individuals targeted by the much-derided MPAA/RIAA lawsuits were not.
>There is a little company called Ubiquiti (not who I'm employed by) has one of the best values in this space for the money.

I've gotten out working with this kind of thing regularly, but Ubiquiti has always offered incredible value for the money for really solid, hackable hardware.

I remember rolling out a mesh wifi network with cloud-based management (before cloud-based management was even a thing) for a customer using UBNT gear the better part of a decade ago. The cost per node was as cheap/cheaper than COTS consumer grade gear at the time, I seem to recall something in the range of $70-80/node.
Its more that its never explicitly stated at any point in time or by any individual.

But if you've ever worked at this level, you know the connections made by those brokering deals or in close proximity to dealmaking is often the only way to find success. You need these people to connect you with the wealth or opportunity, and they charge for that connection.
Interesting - I definitely accept the value-of-time argument (that's why I just use flat-rate, rather than going to the effort of weighing the package). Sounds like I should try Shyp next time!

The subculture that's Reddit's strength as a community is also its weakness as a commercial entity; it's a frankly scary advertising proposition unless you're in a suitable niche and very social-media savvy.

Twitter, an arguably much more similar platform to Reddit, is on the other hand the site people sign up to be marketed to

If Reddit could have been bigger by copying the Facebook model, they'd have done it by monetizing more conspicuously, earlier, and disregarding their more vocal users.
Exactly. I hate trackpads, and would love to be able to buy a new thinkpad without one.
They might also capitalize on the "ugh factor" ("ugh, I have to pack this and make a shipping label"), especially for occasional or one-time eBay sellers rather than professionals.
I have to say it's nice to hear someone else say that. That chapter ruined the book for me as well. But everywhere I looked I found nothing but praise for it, even in the most skeptical camps.

I also found the arguments throughout the book to be very focused on "I went for a walk with my colleague and we discussed X, we came up with a plausible just so story and we are very intelligent so that's that figured out." rather than an emphasis on evidence, so I was primed to dislike the book from the start but I figured that was caused by coming from an economics background rather than a science background so was trying to let it go.
You are right. Drug metabolism is key here; that´s why I am not too worried about the results of this study.

I have a child (24kg) with - properly diagnosed - severe ADHD on 20mg daily and the benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks; as with everything in life, nothing has zero risk.
The south bay (south of Diridon) is poorly-served by Caltrain - 3 trains each way per day, weekdays only, no bullets. I think it'd make a great SV extension with its cheap(er) real estate and easy access to SF. I know a lot of SV types with families who are in Morgan Hill/Gilroy because they can actually afford decent family housing without spending 50%+ of their income on it.

We do both. The benefit to not using a 3PL (Amazon logistics or other services) is that we don't ever store your items. We ship from your location on-demand. So our costs are less which we pass on.

We actually see a lot of omni-channel retailers love using our service. They utilize their in-store inventory to ship out as purchases come in.

> There have been alleged time travelers like John Titor

John Titor is the only one I've heard of, are there others? And Titor's predictions, even the really short-term ones, were so off the mark that there's no reason to think it's anything other than a prank. Note that even the many-worlds hypothesis would have the short-term predictions coming true and only the longer-term predictions becoming more and more inaccurate (more importantly, any differences should be due to his presence, and his presence did not e.g. cause CERN to fail to discover the basis for time travel in 2001).

> Additionally, we don't actually have any way of detecting time travelers if they decide not to do silly things like leak future information on Twitter.

We don't have any way of detecting time travelers if they behave in a fashion indistinguishable from people who aren't time travelers. But it's pretty safe to assume that's not the case. They are, after all, from the future, and had a reason for coming to the past. That reason alone should cause observable differences in behavior. In addition, knowledge about future events should be detectable in some fashion, their lack of a real fleshed-out personal identity. Heck, even just their manner of speech should give them away.

> For example, perhaps time traveling technology is legally controlled and extremely expensive

We'd still see people breaking the rules, and such people would in fact be far more likely to attract attention. We live in a world where teenagers have successfully built nuclear reactors; no matter how legally controlled it is, someone is going to figure out how to do it anyway. If it's a matter of cost, some billionaire would figure out how to build it even without government approval. If you had billions of dollars to your name, and time travel was real, wouldn't you be tempted to build a time machine no matter what the government says?

---

As far as I'm concerned, the only two really valid reasons why we haven't seen time travelers are:

1. Time travel is impossible, or
2. Time travel is possible but you can only go back as far as the point where the machine is first switched on.
Nope, thats actually an ADSL router with its own operating system which just presents an ethernet interface to the host.

Maybe it's better than typical consumer routers. But I'd bet it still does awful queuing stuff that you cannot control.
Certainly the easiest is a re-brand. In fact, I'd approach Square with "we're willing to fight this, and it's going to cost both of us a lot of money...but with a proper financial incentive from Square to cover the costs associated with re-branding, we might be willing to entertain that option" (written in lawyer-speak, of course). An acquaintances company was basically paid mid six figures to change their name in somewhat similar circumstances, and they used it as a opportunity to do some interesting things, marketing wise.
I think the math here is:

4000 square feet for 10 people -> 400 square feet per person. $20/sq ft. -> $8000 -> $20k hires 2.5 people worth of office space.

He describes it as a lavish expense, and obviously 400 square feet per person is more than I've ever seen at a normal tech company. All in all I'd wager this guy is paying above-market for engineering talent, as most in the finance space do.

I agree. It looks like Apple has decided it's more efficient to let somebody else validate the market for features, then fast follow. This is kind of short circuiting Samsung's previous mode of operation where they were the fast followers.

Apple just has to see that there is a market for something, and then execute the hell out of it. Something Samsung isn't as great doing.

note I use a Note 3 and think it's the greatest portable electronic device I've ever purchased, despite the crappy Samsung software on it.

edit

somebody doesn't like this idea and has downvoted both my comment and the parent without explanation. Which is just the equivalent of "wrong!". What exactly is wrong with this assertion? Pretty much all of Apple's expected upcoming announcements are Apple executed versions of things that other companies have already produced: larger screen phones, watch, etc.

There's nothing wrong with using somebody else's R&D and marketing dollars to develop the market for you. That's what Apple did for everybody else with the iPhone and now it's what they're letting other companies do for them. It's smart since it puts execution front and forward, which is squarely in Apple's wheelhouse. Not feature development and market testing.
You inevitably spend much of your time understanding the types and the concepts they represent, but I find using a specific, high-level function to drive the understanding helpful. One, it provides a "theme" for the deep-dive, and two, the logic of that functions gives you particular paths through those types to focus on.
It applies equally, core.async is a CSP implementation on the JVM, it would be interesting to know how core.async relates to this issue on the browser instead of the JVM.

You probably already know about "Secure Property Titles With Owner Authority", but other people might not:

http://szabo.best.vwh.net/securetitle.html

I think Satoshi must have read all of Szabo's work!

Long before the Bitcoin paper, Szabo argues that technology can supplant existing bureaucratic means of recording claims to property rights (but he notes that it doesn't directly supplant existing institutions for enforcing those rights, or beliefs about how the rights are acquired or transferred).

I thought of this piece when reading this week's xkcd what-if:

https://what-if.xkcd.com/111/

not true (disposable income SF dwellers). Using our service will be cheaper than doing it yourself. As we create custom boxes (reduces weight and size) and choose the best carrier for each shipment we are able to offer a very convenient service for a cheaper price that you could get yourself.

We will need to have a warehouse in every major city we launch in. It is a barrier but I can tell you we have the very best team to launch each city cheaply and at a ridiculous pace. We are launching NYC in oct.

Only claims define the intellectual property rights, I get that. But patent jargon is often so abstruse and vague that you need to read much of the supporting text to even understand the claims.

Ok done!
Methinks excess dopamine in the brain can get metabolized directly by MAO into DOPAL which, if ALDH2 is busy, can cause superoxide formation and cell death.

"Both the accumulation of DOPAL and the enhancement of rotenone-induced toxicity were abrogated by inhibiting the formation of DOPAL with the MAO inhibitor, clorgyline. These observations suggest that the MAO-catalyzed formation of DOPAL and its accumulation by various mechanisms may be important processes that aggravate the neurotoxicity associated with mitochondrial dysfunction."

http://pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/content/59/2/125.full

So this is why MAO inhibitors are neuroprotective. They prevent this reaction.

The article doesn't really touch upon speed of delivery (to customer) and consistency, which (speaking as a consumer) is Amazon's true magic sauce.

The reason I buy almost everything I buy online via Amazon is that if it is sold by or fulfilled by Amazon and I order it I will get it exactly when I specify 99% of the time (generally two days from order, unless I really want to pay the extra ~$4 for one day on top of my Prime membership). Every other shipping/buying concern is completely secondary for me -- sellers who sell on Amazon but don't fulfill via Amazon offer very little benefit (ease of one-click shopping is nothing compared to the nearly guaranteed consistent delivery, at least for me).

I actually wish more companies than Amazon (and Newegg) would handle this sort of consistency better because I'd love to spread my dollars around more, but those are the only two that have earned my trust in this area. Every other online seller I've used might as well have "???" listed for shipping times because that's what actually happens.
Maybe it's just me, but I found the custom box cutting machine to be the coolest part of this article.
> You've presumably spent money on college, textbooks, etc.

First: You have to distinguish between learning stuff (which can be done mostly freely or at least in a rather cheap way) and getting social recognition for it (the latter is why you go to college and pay masses of money for tuition).

Thus: You don't have to pay a lot for education but for getting social recognition for it.

Otherwise: I admit that in Germany, university is nearly tuition-free. I only bought few textbooks, since many of them were either available in the library or the lecture notes were pretty good. If no "official" lecture notes were available, students often agreed that everybody TeXes notes for one week to make an unofficial student-made lecture notes.

Thus: Yes, some money was spent, but there are options to keep the spending down.
The tests are one way to express your understanding of the code. If the tests you have written fail, then you can focus and improve your understanding in that part of the code. And if they pass, you can be reasonably assured of your understanding.

...the underlying anatomy and biochemistry of ADHD has not been definitively characterized...

That's an understatement. The same could be said of any "disorder" or "syndrome" the study of which is motivated primarily by commerce in pharmaceuticals. If humanity survives long enough, future medicine will see "ADHD" as lying mostly within normal human psychological variety. Our clumsy efforts at treatment will be seen as prescribing 6" shoe risers to everyone, whether they're 5'1" or 6'3".
10 Lessons from My Failed Startup

No person faced an existential threat from that. Businesses on the other hand face existential threats all the time. Every time you don't buy something from a business you are, by you definition using "force" against them because they could go out of business without customers.
To be fair, the rant (and most of the misconceptions) about Pascal are about Wirth defined Pascal, not the much later extended Pascals that introduced things like "byte absolute" types.
