There's also the roads which allow you to get from point A to point B which are subsidizing you

Most of which are maintained by the county, to which I pay taxes.

and there's the federal gas subsidy which is also subsidizing your lifestyle.

From the FEDERAL government, to which I also pay taxes.

Much of the road maintenance is also done by the state government, to which I pay taxes as well.

And if the city proper really did nothing for you, then why would you be working there?

Because decades ago, my employer put offices in the city and it's more expensive to move them than it is to stay put.

Not all of us are working for start-ups. Some of us have employers that predate the interstate highway system.

As telecommuting becomes more of a factor, I will spend less and less time in the city. Hopefully, it'll get to the point where I spend one day here every five years.
Central or South America would be great. The main reason we're in Thailand is because my wife found a job teaching English. The money isn't that great, but she enjoys the job and it's nice to be here on longer term visas. I'm not sure if there are any English teaching jobs in South America, but the timezone would be nice.

This sounds like a lot of FUD. $80 million isn't that much compared to the NIH budget. This is about one third of one percent of all NIH funding we're talking about.

I don't think we should change the funding system from grants to prizes. The existence of my job relies almost entirely on NIH funded grants, and I am not worried about this in the least. When they start talking about replacing the other $23.9+ billion in NIH grants with prizes, then we should worry.
Pure reactionary fear-mongering. Any new technology will have quirks that will eventually get fixed when they are found. As always, the problem is not the technology but the profit incentive for introducing the technology. To introduce a new technology properly, much more money needs be spent to train people and oversee the technology until it becomes reliable. But since the motive to introduce technology in the first place is to save money, it's just not going to happen. The real problem is capitalism. This is a fine example on how it is a drag on the progress of science and technology. The real drivers of science and technology are curiosity and laziness. The latter should be celebrated.

Serverless client-side web dev with just Firebase and StackHut
Afaik nvidia's NVCUVID API only supports H264 encoding, which would require a JavaScript H264 decoder. So far I haven't been able to get the one JS H264 decoder I know of (Broadway) to work reliably and fast enough for large video sizes.

I wish the industry would just get their act together and support a common video codec in browsers along with a JavaScript API that can deal with decoding single frames. Currently native streaming support for the <video> element in browsers is extremely poor and proposed solutions like MPEG-DASH or HLS add around 10 seconds(!) of latency.
Can I configure my phone to reject text messages with attached video? I'm thinking that would protect me from this exploit, plus, as a bonus, I wouldn't get text messages with attached video.

> Quite to the contrary, I thought the article contained a great list.

It's not a great list and it's not clearly illustrated. A good starter list would be a combination of Molich and Nielsen's heuristics and Don Norman design principles. But, really, these lists put the emphasis on details, and design should be holistic. If there's a starter advice to give is to study people and their context. There's really little value in having a consistent UI that doesn't map to the user's mental model.

> I see these mistakes all the damn time, and for that reason, it's clear that there's not a universal understanding of how to get them right

You're right, obviously there's not.

However, that doesn't indicate that this list is good or even remotely useful; it's - for me - an indicator that people don't want or don't try to educate themselves and, even worst, IT people are oblivious of design's scope and importance.

> This high-level "here's a few tips" view of the common ways to improve the low hanging fruit (sorry) turns out to be really useful.

There are really many useful - better, clearer, sounder and validated - resources on UI design, UX and usability. The real problem is people doing UI work without education and knowledge, not the lack of resources.

The rating system is interesting; it looks like the ratings reflect which excuses are more believable regardless of if they're true or not. Friends visiting? Too bad, come to work. Family visiting? Stay home, work and take breaks whenever you need to! My manager is out this week? Too bad, there's other managers and executives here to supervise you and crack the whip if you need it. I have to pay my rent? Too bad, but you need to work to make that rent money. However if your pipes are messed up and you need to wait for the plumber then it's okay to work from home.

What's more interesting is that the reasons to work from home are isolated from productivity.
I think the skills are OK. I find the average personality type I encounter in finance a bit abrasive: one-dimensional, sharp-elbowed, too full of certainties. I worry that this might be a general phenomenon in the corporate world :/ (of course, these people also tend to be much much happier).

The 'sigh' was almost reflexive: even writing the word 'finance' makes me feel bored.
No, I'm a chinese person born in the US, I can confirm it's cultural. My father is from Asia and he sometimes looks down on "stupid/uneducated" Westerners for not saving their money. The irony is that if the the typical chinese person was "educated" they'd know that a functioning economy needs people to spend.

Agreed, and actually part of that storyline is the fact that there is a massive outflow of capital from China, estimated $1 Trillion cash flowing out of China last year (http://bit.ly/1CP8Oj3), no doubt to due the people's inability to trust the government. China reported having foreign exchange reserve of $3.6 Trillion, which means that it will run down the reserve to 50% in two years, and even faster if panic helps accelerate the outflow. This places serious doubts on the chinese government to contain any massive deflation to either its stock market, real estate, local government debt, or black market lending using its reserve.

This is very much what OnLive where doing a few years back - I had a subscription for a while but never used it as much to justify it. They would have some problems from time to time but for a casual gamer like myself that only had an ancient and linux-only laptop it worked surprisingly well.

This is not a colossally bad idea, it is a colossally good one (though maybe not as suggested), and perhaps the best way to end the stupid patent circus that is ruining biomedical research.

We need not replace grants this way, of course - but we can supplement, because grants, as we all know, can't even begin to cover the cost of clinical trials, for the most part. This means that only large pharma companies can foot the bill, here. Then they walk off with a patent and collect monopoly rents from the American public to the tune of $300 billion a year, in excess of the market cost of drug production.

If, on the other hand, we can offer a large prize that covers the costs of development after the fact, then we get the goods - development already works this way, the "prize" is simply in the form of a drug company buying you out for your IP.

In the alternative, the US government "buys you out" for several tens of millions. The drug, instead of being patented, goes into the public domain. The developers walk off with tons of money. The public saves hundreds of billions of dollars. Income inequality lessens.

A friend of mine was a nurse who worked in an ER. I expressed similar concerns of yours to her, "organ donor might mean that the doctors don't try and save me as hard because hey, good organs!" and she was emphatic that the doctors wouldn't do this.

I think the worry is that even if the particular doctors in her ER would always try their hardest, there might be other doctors in other ERs who might not.

What's difficult is that there's really very little way to truthfully ascertain if someone did in fact try hard enough. How do you really quantify effort? It's very similar to programming, if someone creates a bug was it an accident or was it on purpose? You'd like to believe that it was always an accident but you can never really know for sure.

What happens when organ donation is seen as a moral imperative and only a few percent of people choose not to participate? Might doctors not try as hard to save them as "punishment" for being "anti-social" or something?

There are a lot of thorny ethical questions surrounding organ donation, death, and drawing hard lines where things are squishy.

> The price drop is a price drop. I don't think we can add too much useful commentary to it.

Yes we can. I have to be pedantic here. Those numbers are not prices. I don't even have to enumerate the several financial experts that have come out in the past few weeks admitting all markets are rigged including Stock, Precious Metals and especially the Bonds market.

Prices? What prices? There are no prices. A price is a signal. There are no signals any more. Don't make the expensive mistake of confusing those numbers for prices!

The big disappointment is how long it took them to acknowledge the issue. I was freaking out thinking my gmail account had been compromised. Was up into the wee hours of the morning trying to scrape log-files from my Android devices trying to figure out which one was leaking, since Google said nothing else was connected to my account.

This just totally bums me out. It's funny and snarky, but truthfully, it's the opposite of how I want to work and want people around me to work. We have only one goal: finding an optimal work situation that lets us execute like we want.

If you need a day off, take a day off. If you need to work from home, and it doesn't hurt the team, work from home. If you need excuses to not come in, you are in the wrong job, and that's a total bummer, because you could be doing something you enjoy that has an impact you care about.

Text of the message sent to Steam users:

"Dear Steam User,

On July 25th we learned of a Steam bug that could have impacted the password reset process on your Steam account during the period July 21-July 25. The bug has now been fixed.

To protect users, we are resetting passwords on accounts that changed passwords during that period using the account recovery wizard. You will receive an email with your new password. Once that email is received, it is recommended that you login to your account via the Steam client and set a new password.

Please note that while your password was potentially modified during this period the password itself was not revealed. Also, if you had Steam Guard enabled, your account was protected from unauthorized logins even if your password was modified.

We apologize for any inconvenience."
We still do a nominal amount of legacy hosting (dates back to the 90's so why give up the money?) and had a long time customer switch because his brother offered to do it for free. He also switched the domain name as well which ended up in the hands (ownership that is) of the hosting company. So he doesn't know it but he isn't the owner of the domain any more. I've actually seen that happen many times. Someone transfer a domain and all of the sudden the whois shows the name of the tech guy, or even (this case) the hosting company is the actual owner. Small business guy site owner is clueless as to what is going on. It's hard to sell people on things that might happen to them because there are multiple things that could happen. And if you take the time to do so, that is to fully educate them, they know what to look out for and you still lose the business.

I wrote this as part of a larger response on the Medium article itself, but I figured I'd post here as well:

I gotta say though, when people talk the “assembly required” with Gulp, I really don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as it’s made out to be. I may use ~10–20 very small and easy to use Gulp plugins in anywhere from 8 to 10 simple tasks. Setting up a new Gulpfile takes me all of 15 minutes (far less if I use a template from a previous project) and I get complete control over my build. Additionally, wiring Browserify and Gulp together is extremely easy and straightforward. The config style of Webpack feels a whole lot like Grunt and wow have I seen some nasty Gruntfiles before.
The API you are looking for is WebRTC. VP8 is the most widely used codec for it, but you could use H.264 baseline if you really wanted.

You will need to include a WebRTC stack in your server though, which is a lot more complicated. But I think you will get better overall performance with it versus TCP - it's what WebRTC was designed for.

Also, you might want to look at ogv.js - if you want to keep going the JS way, it includes a very fast Theora decoder which should still be a lot better than MPEG-1.
Why WebRTC? I think that's more designed for Browser-to-Browser connections. You'd just need to stream an H.264 file using a <video> tag (and use a websocket for the input).

I completely agree. They can force their OEM's to follow rules regarding the installation of Google Play services and apps yet they cannot seem to force them to update their software. Every OEM that wants Google Play services and apps should be required to supply OS and critical security updates to their phones for at least 3 years.
Probably not much. The WebRTC reference implementation[1] by Google and Mozilla is fairly easy to build and embed, assuming your Internet connection can handle a complete checkout of the Chromium repository. Unfortunately it only supports the VP8 codec for video. There is also OpenWebRTC[2] by Ericsson, but it doesn't work on Windows.

I don't have insight into the decision-making at WordPress, but they probably do this because they want to be compatible with as many web hosts as possible, and so many super-cheap shared hosts just give you a public directory that you're supposed to dump everything in.

It's possible to set it up properly on most of these hosts, but it's much more difficult, and if you ever have issues the support team says you're using a "non-supported configuration." At least WordPress lets you move your config file one level above the webroot and will find it automatically.
