How far in advance did they have deadlines and fires that you couldn't get time off? Seems strange to me, but I guess it really depends on management.

Why didn't you take time off?

Not really related - but why does this page have a ton of these absolutely massive images? It's a 34.1MB monster of a page.

One thing that I didn't see mentioned in the article are drinks like La Croix. Those seem to be taking the place of soda for a lot of people.

Doesn't seem like he wants to release it as free software.

Looks like it's a lot faster. They compare their approach to the Luan et al. approach, and for a 1024x512 image, they are about 30-60x faster. They also seem to be more accurate with better results.

Sounds like they nailed it.

Not buying it from this guy.

He says things are going to move to conversational commerce? Alexa at best can re-order something that I've bought before. If I need a new product, the amount of information and comparison that I do (as well as checking reviews) doesn't lead well to a conversational model.

It's not like we walk into a B&M store and just talk to a salesperson. We examine the products, the packaging, the information presented about those products, we look around near by and see what else in a similar category is in the store.

Conversational commerce moves to an even lower bandwidth information transfer. With websites we can absorb way more info than we can with a chat bot. At best it will augment current experiences.

Maybe I'm wrong, and there are some products that are well suited to this model, but I'm failing to come up with any.

if there's less seafood to be eaten, more people are gonna eat Dorito spices, etc

I haven't heard about whale farming in Oklahoma. Where can I find out more about it?

I'm surprised that you would describe it as baseless, because the theories he presents are built upon the lifetime of study & research of the examination of human history and motivations.

I'm curious about that as well. I've only read Homo Deus and really enjoyed it.

Careful there, goofing off for 5 minutes every day adds up to 3 more full days of work per year. That’s a big deal.

Strange that a company with $30m in vc funding would be sold for just north of $40m. Not sure if that's accurate

Citation?

Bitcoin is now $13300 on gdax

edit: $13400

That article (blurb?) is impressively low on any detail.

Here's a better one: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-26/why-tence...

Love the photo of the building with the old Bell logo still somewhat visible.

I've already replaced my desktop with a laptop, looking forward to the day I can consolidate everything onto one device. This looks like a step in the right direction.

So is there another Ethereum fork incoming?

If we follow Troy's line of reasoning, then we would need to add these warnings to phones, tv's, websites, credit cards -- just about anything that contains data about you.

I guess the main point the author is trying to make is that data can get compromised, and some people might not be aware of that.

Nothing new or groundbreaking.

A static site generator lets you only update it in once place, rather than 15, when you make a change.

This appears to just be some links to AdWords, not much of value here.

Glad to see some increasing activity for funding in the cannabis space. Prohibition is lifting, and it is exciting to watch it happen.

nice! i'll try it out. solid name

I actually built something like this for myself when I was learning javascript. It's buggy, but for the most part it works. http://okpeet.com/breaktimer/ if anyone wants to take a look.

Awesome!!! It works with my display adapter finally!

Why do you prefer bulma?

This seems to be one molecule from the soy plant.

Woah neat! Interesting to see how his writing had evolved from covering oil and climate change, to just Tesla.
