"No more Salt Lake City office, responsible for Reddit Gifts. No more New York office, responsible for selling ads."

There's a lot of places asking people to move from would be difficult, but from my familiarity with both, those might be two of the harder sells.

SLC offers certain outdoor rec opportunities the Bay can't match, and unless the requirement to move to SF comes with a big pay bump, they're effectively asking employees to uproot their lives and take a big pay cut.

Cost of living in New York is probably roughly on par, but I'm trying to imagine someone who likes the breadth/depth of cultural/rec opportunities in NYC being happy with SF and guessing it's not going to play well.
That's a good assertion to make. You did yourself a service.
Life Is About Making the Field Tilt Toward You – Guy Kawasakai
The percentages were just made up - it could be tested to see which makes people more comfortable. Maybe 10% / 15% / 25% would be more effective.
I'm pretty sure there is a significant amount of cooperation when it comes to space exploration. Space missions often carry instruments from different countries. For example, the lunar probe that discovered water on the moon, Chandrayaan-1, carried instruments from different countries. Curiosity carried instruments from other countries too, if I'm not mistaken.

It's just that you don't read much about this in the newspapers, because newspapers would rather make it look like there's a space race going on.
And in the distance, a faint chuckle could be heard.

Seems many of these features may have been possible as far back as Windows 2000, thanks to third-party utilities, e.g. http://www.evernote.com/shard/s11/sh/228fd98c-0b9b-4474-886d... which is a screenshot of Custcon.exe, a Windows 2000 GUI tool that is used to customize the extended line editing keys when using Cmd.exe (Ntconsole). To enable new key settings, click the "Use Extended Edit Keys" checkbox. Properties indicates it was written by Hiro Yamamoto in 1998, so perhaps this guy would know more about it: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/hiro-yamamoto/9b/7a4/a72

Ah, discovered via an email thread that he also wrote remapkey (by Hirofumi "Hiro" Yamamoto) and his website was: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA000092/tools/ Yep, judging from that site, he works for Microsoft, and probably wishes he'd written less. ;-)

Seems this tool wasn't the only thing customizing cmd.exe for you, there was auto-complete, macros, and a bunch of other things with strange ways of enabling them through the registry: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Ipz-ouR...

I can confirm that CustCon.exe, written in 1998, does indeed add CTRL+A as "beginning of line" to Windows 8, for instance, and so probably uses ... macros or registry? for that. It's too tiny to contain any DLLs like ConEmu and others.

Which makes me think we're not seeing new functionality here in cmd.exe, just some checkboxes for enabling existing functionality that's been buried for about 20 years.

Edit: Obviously copy and paste is new, as is re-sizing nicely, I suppose. The changes on paste also seems new. Opacity seems like something easy to expose, so ... it's a mix of new copy-paste functionality and quick wins, I suspect.
Nobody is really addressing the root of the problem here - that credit card security is a total joke.

The way the credit card system works is we all send the keys to our accounts in plain text, and then store it in plain text.

Rather than come up with a more secure means of payment, the credit card companies force every customer to check every monthly bill on every credit card to make sure none of it was fraudulent, and somehow this is more "convenient" than using a secure method for payment.

A lot of hyperbole and emotion in there, which I personally don't enjoy reading, it takes away from the writer's arguments unfortunately.

Also, seems like critics and talking mouths like this one are almost always more upset than the workers themselves.

If you want the power to work at home, start your own business or work exclusively on contract with specific remote provisions. Its unfortunate when something gets taken away from you, but who can you really blame unless its written and legally binding?
I would be far from surprised if the court had good reasons to set bail high and wanted him off the streets. A good kid does not just up and steal a truck for a joyride one day. The cops probably knew exactly who he was and knew what happened with the new theft charges.

The story should have been about the plain fact of an unjustly delayed trial. I suspect the journalist unnecessarily painted a falsely sympathetic picture.
Reddit Forces Remote Workers to Live in San Francisco or Lose Job
This article is just condescending and gets nothing accomplished. Its like me writing an article titled "Whats Wrong with Cars", where I list my complaints about cars: "People who don't drive cars won't know how to use them", "People use cars for purposes other than the creator intended them for", "Cars are Non-Standardized (Stick Shift, Automatic, etc)".

It's just annoying that he/she isn't providing any solutions and is just being a Negative Nelly. Why not write something like: "Whats Wrong with Cars and How We Can Fix Them". All I got from the article was "Cars suck, all the people who use them are just 'cool aid' drinkers".

Also there are numerous typos, such as: "...it woudl look like this:"
I don't think there is an easy answer to this... It depends so much on the individual and their life. However, I think there are some general guidelines that work in a "most people, most of the time" kind-of-way.

With that said, I think that most severe alcoholics can never go back to drinking. The damage has been done, and they will always have that vulnerability. They may be able to control it for a while, even a surprisingly long time, but, if they go back to drinking or using then they will be thoroughly screwed.

There are people who may have issues that look like alcoholism, but are really different, like ADHD or depression. As those other issues get better, then the alcoholism will become less of a problem. For example, people with ADHD tend to have problems with impulse control. As people live their lives they learn that poor impulse control is, indeed, a real problem and they learn how to get it under control more-or-less on their own. That same lack of impulse control is disastrous when combined with alcohol. But, as their impulse control gets better, their problems with alcohol get easier, too.

Some people simply have had a crappy childhood, and, as they get more distance and grow out of those issues, then their tendency to addiction gets less.
hi, Adam here, I wrote the article. Really interesting comments. Just for the record, I am in favor of the command line tool, and I have also posted numerous articles on better alternatives :)

30 Quotes from the Adora Cheung's lecture here: https://medium.com/how-to-start-a-startup/30-quotes-from-ado...

One reason why I think this lecture probably hasn't generated as many comments/upvotes is because there may have been too many topics put into just 1 lecture. I think it may have been more effective if the content was split out into maybe 2 or 3 separate lectures that went into a bit more depth like..
-Building a product (covering the MVP, the decision process around what features are most important and what's not, etc)
- Customer Development/talking to users (the environment to interview them, types of questions to ask them, types not to ask,etc)
- Growth (different types of growth, what Homejoy focused on at each stage, potential challenges they went through etc)

I recognize that since it's a Stanford course, they are probably capped with the amount of time they have during the semester as well.
Geometric Madness: Implementation of computational geometry algorithms [video]
Well... I guess I need to clear up a few things!

- What I said in my previous comment in no way applies to programming languages. It applies to my programming environment. I very much enjoy using different kinds of languages. (There are definitely some that I dislike and stay away from though.)

- I do not think I've found the perfect anything or "the one right answer." I continue to improve my setup. I have spent more years in Windows than in Linux, so I am aware of what I'm missing in that regard. My tactic is not to remain static; it is to iteratively improve. So far, it has lead me deeper and deeper into the terminal. (My next big task is migrating email into the console. It is a task so daunting and terrifying that I've procrastinated on it for years.)

- I very strongly disagree with your disconnect between annoyance and efficiency. If I'm getting annoyed, then my emotional state is an impediment to focusing and working productively. Drudgery is annoying and frustrating and error prone. I don't really swear by any particular config as some Universal Truth, but I do have strong opinions about what works well for me. And I will spend an exuberant amount of time fixing it, especially if there is an engineering challenge involved (because, why not, we're hackers and it's fun to do that stuff). If the only thing you think you gained is "saving a few key strokes," then I agree that it probably isn't a useful tweak in most cases. What I gain by tweaking is compartmentalization and automation, and they usually pay for themselves in due time.

- Haha yes, I'm not quite old yet, but I've been at it for over a decade at this point. So not exactly a fresh lamb either. :-)

Thanks for indulging in some friendly banter!
Thanks for the tip. I added a few things this afternoon and didn't spell check :)

As for negative nelly, the post right after the markdown one is about an alternative (for a very specific context). But no matter, you're probably right, it might have been better to add a few alternatives to the end of the article.

His info is based on the fact that Walmart is all in with CurrentC another mobile payment system developed by MCX.

Unless Apple can show that Walmart will actually lose customers by not doing it, I don't see them adopting Apple Pay soon.

This is incredible. Wish more organizations and institutions took this approach of beautiful and striking science, then perhaps more scientists would start the value other new ways to communicate science.
hi

Argh. My reply got burned by the server downtime. Just to say I dont have anything against the shell and plain text- I produced (facilitated) the production of numerous books around this topic including http://www.flossmanuals.net/command-line/

Glad you like reading markdown. I don't think that is a majority position though and I see markdown being promoted to a larger community at times that really wouldn't find it useful or nice to use.
Uh... how did this thread get buried so quickly? Submitted an hour ago, 68 points and it's already fallen off the first page?

I love Telescope! I use it to run the Meteor.js news site http://crater.io.

I am really impressed with the continued efforts that Sacha puts into both Meteor and the Open Source community. He is something I aspire to be like one day.
I think his point is relatively obvious: Empathy is not a substitute for analysis of moral consequences (societal consequences). Understanding how someone feels should not guide the way we evaluate their actions or decisions, the trite example being rather evil people in history genuinely believed what they were doing was good - if you just "looked from their shoes" you might altogether miss the evilness of what they were doing.

Many people claim that without empathy there would be moral chaos. They are equivalent to people who claim that without religion there would be moral chaos. Empathy is not the basis of morality.
Drop in to the REPL, this is why languages that have Read, Eval, Print, Loop are super popular. BASIC, Python, LISP, SQL, Ruby, etc. You can get proficient in such languages faster than C, Java
The minute Walmart get a POS that supports NFC, they won't have a choice.
Thanks! The business side of things is coming along, I've just finished up a hectic few months (wedding, honeymoon) and am looking to crank on the site again. Long term I want the site to be an ever-growing part of my life.

I'm very interested in collaborations, and helping people sprinkle an intuitive approach into whatever teaching they are doing. (I like Bret Victor's approach, where he provides guidance on what programming tools could look like, which might work its way into new programming languages like Swift, etc.). I'm in touch with an internet buddy at Khan Academy and have been meaning to work together, I'll be reaching out soon I think :).
Apple's Health App Is an Embarrassment
I don't follow this conclusion. Especially if the ratio changes back "quickly". I have yet to read the original article, but this sounds to me more like a simple dynamical system: Depending on the food "income", threats and other factors, either more nannies or more warriors hatch. The key may be whether or not the colonies revert to an ancestral composition in the wrong place.
I was under the impression that the liability transfer only required a POS supporting EMV with the idea being that merchants would take the opportunity to support NFC.
Anyone strongly agree / disagree with this assessment? I'm trying to remain open-minded, but so far I'm learning towards the gist of the article.…

The space that TechStars uses in 1871 is separated from the main area, in an enclosed office area. Doors can be shut and distraction is pretty effectively minimized. It works pretty well, from my experience.

190m (623 feet) for this type of connection is not difficult. I was with a company where we were able to multipath in this fashion in 2001. This was with off-the-shelf radios and antennas in Part 15 rules (2.4Ghz & 5.8Ghz).

Making multipath work for you doesn't require smart radios/antennas.

Now, if you were doing 400mbit/s, using multipath, with dozens of radios, hundreds of clients across many square miles...that would be entirely different. That's a real world scenario. Show me a video of that and I'll be impressed.

I've been out of the wireless tech for a while, but the only companies I've heard make claims like this were never able to deliver.

Agreed! Whatever behavior is ultimately observed, it must be acting in a manner that is beneficial to the individual. The only reason such behavior exists is because the gains to the individual outweigh the costs.
Doing some basic math... Wikipedia is around 80m rows a day, so 4 months of Wikipedia is around 9.5bn rows. But they show 17bn on the graph.

Typical columnar compression gives about 11GB per 1bn rows, so 17bn rows should be 187GB. The AWS machines they are using should be c3.4xlarge which are 30GB, and 6 of them is 180GB. But you can't run an in-memory column store at 100% RAM, you need to run it at 50-70% so you have capacity for calculations.

Is it just me or do the results not make any sense? Seems likely they actually had 9.5bn or 4 months data, which conveniently is what the graph shows?
