Years ago the (obvious to me) revelation that all these different services and tools are showing slices and summaries of the same larger article. Twitter is a headline publisher. Slashdot/HN/lobsters/Facebook are publishing the summary paragraph. Email and blogs are still the host for the long form article.
Take a stroll through journalism textbooks, identify all the parts of a successful publications lifecycle, and provide all elements and you might reinvent publishing such that it satisfies all the current and future needs while still meeting the old style too.
Facebook stopped being about friends and has become groups.
Sharing is not between friends but between interest-groups.
the worst is when your friends share garbage, and you view it, you start to see more garbage suggested to you. you can't "un-see" anything. the algorithm knows.
doesn't say it must not accept anything other than a letter or a digit and so, to cover future leniency changes, i would not be surprised to see poetic-license taken such that they allow damn near anything in an unreliable way.
they screwed up my award winning office design.
common section down the middle with individual offices on opposite walls, large enough for pair programming, one end of the alcove has windows above shelves, other end has multimedia.
offices to be used as small conference rooms and manager offices, without windows, are in a perpendicular central hallway. i designed this over 10 years ago and a virtually identical design was used for my company's buildout the following year. no one is assigned to the common central table. offices can have the door open or closed depending on the occupant need/desire to be heads down or passively participate with others. each alcove houses a functional team
Generic neurological drugs are not reliably consistent. The allowed variations and additives can and do play havoc in some people. Even something so simple as coloring can be a problem.
would be amazing to see the Rubic'sCube and Chess speed solvers burn this algorithm into their heads and start a competition to replicate a provided item.
pick the statistic that fits your personal narrative and political party leanings. then proclaim all the rest as bogus. change stats as required when required to suit your narrative.
I really like your style, that you communicate directly and in detail to issues that come up. Do you also record these posts with the software for others to find in the future - who don't follow [HN] or twitter? If this blog goes away independently of the software, this discussion goes away too.
If you have money you should be able to buy your way to the front of the line? Poor people should just die anyway. They are a burden on the rest of us. Send them to the work houses or let them die and decrease the surplus population. ...
While I agree to some extent, I find it funny that I've somehow been around long enough to not realize people needed your example acronyms and names to be defined. Including the reference in the BBN definition to the other bbn :) I guess that's what happens when you live it first hand.
the first thing that impacts your future success is the luck of the conditions of your birth. you have no control over this. hard work MAY make up for this, however having a "better" birth condition plus this same hard work does not negate the value of that first starting position.
this is lost on many successful people who wrongly attribute the entirety of their success to their own efforts and presume that anyone who is not successful has simply not worked hard.
Rt.53 in Hingham,MA has a suicide lane. This is the appropriate name for a single track bidirectional lane for turning left. It is not used for passing. Great fun when people enter the lane too soon and facing cars must pass before each turns left. this leads to last minute entry into the lane and many stale-mates with stubborn cursiing drivers facing each other with no where to go as the prevailing traffic passes them on both sides.
Appelbaum: So the people blocking adoption of the metric system weren't backward-looking traditionalists, but cutting-edge industrialists?
Mihm: That's correct. While the anti-metric forces included outright cranks, including people who believed that the inch was a God-given unit of measurement, the most sophisticated and powerful opponents of the metric system were anything but cranks. They were engineers who built the industrial infrastructure of the United States. And their concerns, while self-interested, were not entirely off base. Whatever the drawbacks of the English units, the inch was divided in ways that made sense to the mechanics and machinists of the era: it was built around "2s" rather than "10s," with each inch subdivided in half and in half again—and so forth. This permitted various sizes of screw thread to have some logical correspondence to all the other increments. The same was true of the sizes of other small parts that were essential modern machinery.
The English system of measure is based on offsets to make retooling factories easily done in house. It's very similar to metric paper sizes.
Look into the history it's actually quite logical.
The eroding self confidence and inability to perform mundane tasks. If not addressed, which can take years, you risk more than the business, you risk your life.
