That's after 1 cycle. Assume you chose once per week for 10 years = 520 trips. So, 50% of your trips (260) you would pick the fast lane and 50% of the trips you would pick the slow lane (260). The sum of your slow trip time is 20 * 260 = 5,200 minutes and your fast trip time takes 10 * 260 = 2,600 minutes.

So, out of a total wait time of 5200+2600= (7,800) minutes you spent 2/3 of it in the slow lane and 1/3 of it in the fast lane.
Yeah, agreed, this was the point that stood out to me the most. Privacy, battery usage, interference, simply not obeying instructions, etc..
Recent years were a little different, because of the unemployment extensions, but I think that in most of the US, you'll earn substantially less than 50% of a programmer's salary on unemployment, possibly even less than 25% (http://www.savingtoinvest.com/2015-vs-2014-maximum-weekly-un...). Combined with a maximum time of 24 weeks, and I think severance wins out.

Things We Got Wrong in Fintech
Don't think that's the case with Ceylon or Kotlin, perhaps with some other "post-Scala" JVM language such as Gosu or Fantom, but definitely with Groovy. It's creator James Strachan wrote in http://macstrac.blogspot.com/2009/04/scala-as-long-term-repl... "I can honestly say if someone had shown me the Programming in Scala book by by Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon & Bill Venners back in 2003 I'd probably have never created Groovy".

The actual "Font" data lives in the `src/v2` directory. For example, open up "Roboto_Thin.ufo/glyphs" from here, and you'll see a lot of ".glyph" files. These are essentially SVG's it appears. The python script pulls this content together and generates appropriate font files (WOFF, TTF, etc).

I'm just going with what your post says. Your criteria, even making allowances for half-exaggeration, clearly rule out anyone who is poor or disadvantaged as a potential partner. And although you don't explicitly say that you regard yourself as rabidly liberal, it's reasonable to assume that you do given that you want to date someone who is. (But of course, you may be a conservative who wants to date a liberal, in which case, feel free to correct me.)

Facebook owns Instagram and WhatsApp, the apps that people are using more.
By legacy I suspect it is meant that the category is finalized in its current form. All major new software will be web-based, and the only desktop software being made going forwards is the one which was already being made. Office and photoshop aren't goin anywhere soon, but the competitor that replaces them will be web-based.

Not that I think it's particularly true. I think the desktop form factor is going away, but what replaces it is not so much web as it is responsive / adaptive, and web is a subcategory of that, with mobile being another. Having a UI which is only usable through keyboard and mouse sitting behind a desk just doesn't cut it anymore.

> Nothing about this is "web" specific.

Moving the goalposts. You were saying that YouTube is a slower and clunkier version of a 2000 native app. Now you're comparing 2015 native vs web.

> native is a superset of what functionality is available in a web sandbox

Web sandboxes have a killer advantage over native: no install.

And if we're talking about native desktop, there's another killer advantage of the web: you don't have to trust the app.
who used fb 6-8 years ago? teenagers and students.

snapchat also is well-placed to take advantage of our newfound awareness, particularly post-fappening, of just how much it sucks to have picks of your tits/dick or a video of you masturbating shared with the world. That's their in -- sext your partner -- and then they pick up a bunch more usage amongst your friend pool.

My guess is snapchat could do alright with advertising if they could do enough machine learning to figure out brand safety. Maybe it wouldn't make them a $100B company, but a billion or two in revenue from an app used 30 times a day by a lot of people seems pretty doable.
The good news about PowerPoint is that it only takes five minutes for a previously untrained person to make a slide presentation.

The Internet Archive will still archive your site even if you use their recommended robots.txt suggestions to have them not archive your site. I had several domains where I setup the robots.txt immediately as one of the first things on my sites. While I owned the sites and ran them with the robots.txt Archive.org would not show any archive of them. However once the sites went down/changed domains, etc, the archive of them is now on archive.org. So all they do is block you from seeing what is on the site as of now, not forever. So you'd have to own the domain infinitely to have it not archived by them.

But this is not what PowerPoint was created for, it is designed to be an accompaniment to a speaker.
If a slide deck is placed online for viewing without the speaker, the speaker notes should provide the extra detail, not the slides themselves.
The term "open source" only means that the source code is published; it says nothing about the license. Perhaps I'm nitpicking but the title of this post isn't very clear in my opinion.

>For one, food is essential for our survival.

The analogy isn't based on 'essentiality'. The point that was made, was correct - Banning something does not solve the original problem. Sorry for spelling it out. I didn't realize comprehending it would be so troublesome for some.

There is no such thing as a perfect analogy. If an analogy can't break down, it wouldn't be called an analogy. You would just say the thing that was to be said.
I'm not seeing your logic here. I understand YouTube's economic incentive to reward time spent watching because they can show more ads, but I don't see how that really stems from copyright. I mean, the copyright situation is the same whether I make a 60 second slapstick animation or an hours-long nature video.*

But copyright just establishes title, and provides the right to recover additional damages from infringers if you register it with Congress. It doesn't set any sort of price structure, so it's perfectly OK to buy the rights to someone's work $1 if you can persuade them to sell at that price (as many session musicians have found out the hard way).

Announcing the Acquisition of Surreal Vision
Voat is mostly being promoted by racists who are upset that they're being banned from the default subs for posting hate speech there.

It says a lot when Voat's most vocal supporters on reddit are the populations of /r/coontown, /r/conspiracy, and /r/antipozi (all very, very NSFL). The first is an anti-black sub, the second is an antisemitic sub (yes, antisemitic: everyone should read /r/isrconspiracyracist and /r/topmindsofreddit), and the third is a Neo-Nazi sub.
Completely agree. Spiegel came across as a douche once, but new CEOs learn incredibly quickly, esp when in charge of a 300+ person company with experienced help. I would guess he'll become a very good CEO (maybe he already is) and lead snapchat to an interesting and successful place.

The product is certainly in a difficult space with finicky users, but those users are also extraordinarily valuable. No way to tell what will happen, wap if you're not in the demographic.
Noether’s Theorem is something I wish was introduced a lot earlier than it ever seems to be: I think a simple, restricted, but still enlightening form of it can be introduced as soon as students have a basic mastery of derivatives and the idea that a derivative of zero means the function is constant with respect to that variable. You don't need to introduce the idea of generalized coordinates to give a flavor of how powerful this notion is.

Here's a few simple examples: http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/noetherth.htm

Nothing about this requires math beyond undergrad calculus.

Stalking Your Friends with the Data from Facebook Messenger
The definition of "stable" is different between something like Arch and CentOS (and even Fedora).

When it comes to "bleeding edge" distros, stability might mean, "it doesn't crash". When it coems to stability for an enterprise/server focused distro like RHEL/CentOS, it not only means "it doesn't crash", but that package versions stay similar, major configs don't change, etc... so you scripts you write today will work on that system 3 years from now, no update will change some dependency you relied on, etc.
I think the last statement of the parent is causing the confusion.

>On average now 67% of the time the other line will move faster.

This should be: "On average, you spend 67%~ of your time in the slower lane."

On average the other lane is still only faster 50% of the time assuming the odds are truly 50/50 - but you spend 67% more time in the slower lane.

330 employees? Am I correct in guessing most of them are in sales? I know Twitter has thousands so 330 is relatively few, but that seems like an awful lot of people.

Also, the explanation for why they don't label buttons is "it's something new"? And that engineers are busy making new products? Is this bad editing or reading comprehension, or ?

My takeaway from this article is that Ashley Madison is a great investment. No churn, comprehensible to investor class, generally high disposable income customers. Hmm.
Dating belongs to a category of industries that also includes jobsearch/careers, education, fitness, and socializing. The characteristics of these industries are:

1. They are broad, holistic consumer problems where a success metric might be clearly defined (find a spouse, get a job, earn a degree), but the steps to get there aren't.

2. There is a social status component: people (rightly or wrongly) make status judgments about your life outcomes.

3. Success means you don't need a product.

There's a big mistake that many rookie founders make with these industries (and I'm speaking from bitter experience founding a career-guidance startup): You can solve people's problems, but you can't rob people of their problems.

I met my fiancee on OKCupid. I met her on OKCupid. But I did the hard work of living an interesting life and adjusting my expectations to reality on my own. We did the hard work of earning each others' trust and respect, building a relationship, and overcoming our differences together. We deleted our OKCupid accounts about a month after meeting.

Similarly, someone who gets a job through LinkedIn gets the job themselves, LinkedIn doesn't get the job for them. They have to do the hard work of building the skills and meeting the qualifications themselves. They need to build their network themselves. They impress the hiring manager and interviewers themselves. LinkedIn is a tool for managing this, but it is not and cannot be the reason for their success.

A lot of founders look at hard problems like dating or unemployment thinking "This sucks. It shouldn't suck. I'm not going to rest until everyone has the perfect spouse, perfect job, perfect skills, etc." They don't realize that this is not a problem they can fix. If they could fix it, it would rob their customers of their humanity, of a lot of what makes them real. The reason we choose people as employees, as spouses, and as friends is because of things they do and challenges they overcome, not because of products they use.

Successful companies in these spaces realize this and focus on one individual sub-problem they can solve to make people's lives easier. Tinder won't get you into a relationship, but it shows you people of your preferred sex. Indeed also shows you options, but getting the job is your responsibility. Google has done wonderful things for self-education by making the whole web available with a few keywords. LinkedIn and Facebook started out as great rolodexes, but then (IMHO) have been steadily ruining their products by trying to creep into more and more of my life.
Sadly those NSA/Etc horrid presentations could just as well come from where I work. Having been asked about them before I simply replied, "wall of text" and you guys did a great job of not getting to the point. See, they don't ascribe to that rule of no more than three to five bullet points per slide. I have seen Excel Spreadsheets embedded in slides.

I think Powerpoint serves two very important purposes. In the hands of good management it conveys what is important and how it will be addressed. In the hands of bad management it clearly shows their lack of focus reinforced in slide form. (of course a 68 question survey on what you like and don't like about work wasn't a damn clue)
Hey, I still have the Yggdrasil CD, ca. 1994, Linux 1.06 as I recall. (CD is at home in the "archives".) Walnut Creek was the big supplier in those days.

In the mid-90's I used Red Hat, later other distros. At work still have one really old box with Stampede Linux from 1999. Also one of our servers runs on FreeBSD 6.0 installed in 2005.

Often enough, the most dangerous thing to do is "upgrade".

Yes.

But I think Tinder could be optimized for real (long-term?) dating.

I mean 90% of the women on Tinder have nice pictures. But My experience has shown that I have a specific taste, that doesn't have much to do with looks. So if I first choose by photo and later by, lets say, character similarities, Tinder is wasting my time.

Something like the matching of OKCupid would be nice. So I don't "like" 90% of the women there just to find out that only 5% of them were what I wanted.
> there hardly have been any breaking changes since 0.42 to 2.5.0

The recently released Grails 3.0 is breaking. How many Java programmers out there maintaining Grails websites will bother upgrading their codebases and configuration files? How many downloads and installs have there even been of Grails 3.0 ??? With its creator skipping the Grails conference next week, one wonders if he's jumping ship, dumping the Grails downside risk onto others while keeping his fingers in its upside pie, and moving on to his next revenue thing.
Based on your point 1, if time (on the outside) seems to speed up infinitely for the person falling into the black hole, and if the black hole will eventually evaporate due to hawking radiation, then wouldn't the black hole appear to completely evaporate prior to crossing the event horizon?
There is neither anything inherently wrong with PowerPoint, and even more 'controversially' there is nothing inherently wrong with information dense slides. Especially in the case where it includes complex graphics such as maps and charts as shown here.

The small information limited bullet point laid out form of presentation is derived from marketing/persuasive presentations. In that context then yes the narrative should drive the discussion, and slides should just reinforce the 'take away' points. These slides should be light for the same reason Elevator Pitches should be less than 2 minutes.

However other presentations such as some of the ones shown in the article are not intended to persuade but intended to share dense information. For instance saying that the military should not put dense maps in presentations intended for brass who have to visualize the geographic layout based on the presentation is pretty clueless.

Its a tool, not everyone is using it to accomplish the same goals as the author is. Truth is 99% of times the marketing format of presentations is the way to go, but it is not 100% of the time.
It being "outside our powers of detection" is pretty easily falsifiable too: Just reference a "fixed point" in the other lane (I tend to pick a large truck that's unlikely to lane change, easy to spot at a distance, and driving even more conservatively than I am.)

I tend to drive conservatively. Not out of anxiety, but out of "logical caution" and being in no hurry. Like your family member, though, I frequently stick to a lane. When I think another lane is going faster than mine, that truck tends to disappear into the distance in front of me.

If anything, I underestimate how much faster, frequently wondering if I won't catch up and spot it again as the lanes take turns alternating between fast and slow over the short term.
There's a 50% chance of a given lane being the fast one, but you'll spend twice as long in the slow lane if you're stuck there.

Thinking of total time for grocery store lines may feel unnatural, but it's certainly the perspective that makes sense on a road. I wouldn't start a 200 mile trip by saying "I'm going to spend this trip in the right lane," I'd do some of my driving in each.

And if I drive 100 miles in the fast lane and 100 miles in the slow lane, I'll have spent >50% of my time in the slow lane, even if my odds of picking the right one are 50/50 at any given moment.
Is he suggesting that we ban Powerpoint because the users are not using it in the right way?

I work at a MMB management consulting company and we use Powerpoint all day to create really good presentations - full of insightful information and easy to read.
So that includes the vast majority of people who don't/can't/won't use it well.

What's wrong with imagination, hypothesis and a simple analogy that can reach out to the masses? One might argue that your approach to science as only a set of facts based on formula is boring at best. One needs to ponder the meaning behind the formula and results. Yes, we got a number, but what is the implication of it? After all, doesn't science exist to satisfy our curiosity about the world in the first place?
Title should be: Ban people like Katrin Park and untrained gov bureaucrats from using power point.

PP exists to replace the bulleted memo or prop stand poster, which have existed for god knows how long in corporate culture. Most PP complaints seem to be about broken meeting "culture" than PP itself. Most meetings are about self-promotion, bureaucracy, etc than productivity. Changing the tools won't matter. If the boss expects a weekly meeting from your department, then it will continue to happen and will probably happen with PP, especially if the boss uses PP.

There is the notion of a Slidedoc:

This. Even _new_ ARM processors like A9 and A15 are still 32-bit, and this is at the heart of many (most?) smartphones. Many low end x86 processors like a lot of Atom chips are also 32-bit only. Just because most new consumer x86 is now 64-bit doesn't mean at all that it's time to sunset a 32-bit JVM (if you'll ever be able to do that).
They say they keep updating it, which kind of makes me wonder what the best way is to keep up to date with the newest versions. Is there an automated way to do that? I don't like to manually check every other month if a font has a new version, and cloning the repo seems overkill if all I want is the output.

The article doesn't say that information from B or C is useful. All it explains is only 2 particles can be entangled with each other. So either A is entangles with B or it is entangled with C, not both. Which means that either Anne's reality is correct, or yours. The whole thing about the decoding machine is just described to oversimplify it for the benefit of the masses.
