If you made this as a commercial venture you are probably infringing on these celebrities personality rights.

They only save energy if you are using a CRT.

I have a lot of friends that have been arrested. So for me this number is very believable. It's actually not a very hard thing to get arrested. I had friend go to jail for not neutering his cat.

That being said.. It's always nice to see the data.

Using line of site communication such as laser would probably not be the best way for interstellar communications. Largly because as empty as the universe is. It's hard to shoot a straight line in any direction and not hit something, and also the high energy requirements.

Lasers are only being used in this case for bandwidth issues not latency issues. As both lasers, and radio travel at the speed of light.

SETI is using the most likely method of detecting communications as we don't know of any faster means to communicate than EMR.

"Daily Active Users (DAUs). We define a daily active user as a registered Facebook user who logged in and visited Facebook through our website or a mobile device, or took an action to share content or activity with his or her Facebook friends or connections via a third-party website or app that is integrated with Facebook, on a given day. We view DAUs, and DAUs as a percentage of MAUs, as measures of user engagement."

instagram and other sites that use Facebook login count for DAU.

So is Facebook becoming more addictive or just more integrated.

i.e. people are just using instagram more, and this counts as DAU.

I understand satire, and I understand sexism. Believe it or not.. you were sexist in your satire.

Why would you love to hear my argument against Github here?? I never said I was for or against them. I simply said that your assertion that due process had happened is untrue.

Ironically. There wasn't due process. Also your fake quote which marginalizes the situation is in fact sexist itself.

Thats right you would be the 3PL and you would be dealing with 1PL(consignee) and 2PL(carrier). So likely dealing with 3PL regulation. You probably already have to worry about licensing, and insurance.

This isn't a bad market to get into. You should educate yourself though more in it.

Just wondering if you are going to handel licensing, bounding, and insurance. It appears you could possibly be banging up against 3PL regulations.

So you want regular joe smoes to move people or fully licensed movers?

Local or national?

If Eich had given 1000 bucks to stopping the abilities of lets say hispanics to marry. He would have never been allowed to be CEO; because we do not accept that type of bigotry. Sadly however bigotry against LGBTQ is still allowed.

For me it is clear and simple. He can not say he will be inclusive if he at a low level doesn't believe in it. In his blog post he only apologized he hurt anyone.. not that his views are outdated, and has changed his mind on the topic.

Holacracies still have a vested management power structure.. Basically you still have owners / top-tier management who's goals may not align with workers.

Want to be a really progressive start up.. become a COOP.

Short term.. make sure the race and sex of people filling the jobs at your company are of the are of the same ratio as the available pool. If x % of a group (sex / race) is graduating from school with the degree for a given job then for that job your company should have the same ratio. If your company is not meeting that ratio then there is an issue with how your company hires. You shouldn't hire too meet those percents the system by which you hire should naturally hit those percents(i.e. the institution). example of what can be done... Have your HR remove names from resumes before they are sent for review. This will remove gender cultural race identifiers.

If men for a job are getting paid more than women.. Don't put the blame on women for not asking for more. Fix your compensation system to be equal independent of sex / cultural background / racial background.. ie.. this job pays x if you meet these qualifications not more or less.. just this set amount.

Make the work environment feel safe. If you are in the minority it is a stressful enough knowing others can't share what you feel. I can only imagine the stress of being the only female in a large group of engineers. Let alone if one asks you on a date. Make strict rules about fraternization.. what is and isn't acceptable.

long term... fix the schools.. if you treat kids the same independent of their culture / race / sex ... and they have opportunity to the same quality of schools.. then individuals for a certain job will start to match the general public.

The myth that men are more likely to be engineers because thats what guys are interested in.. Is just that.. a myth. People are interested in things because they have had access to learn about said things.

I'm hispanic living in the mission, and for a long time I also had 2 black roommates. We've had many conversations about direct blatant racism, and also indirect just people being ignorant in what they say bigotry. Of course a lot of non-minorities have issues understanding the difference in racism, and bigotry.

This being said. What is brought up in this article is racism. Specifically the institution of racism. If you are not actively doing things to fix the institutions of racism, and sexism; then you are actively part of an institution of racism and sexism. Silicon Valley / San Francisco has done very little to fix racism, and sexism. If we all got together and wanted to defeat these institutions we could do so in 20 years; and work at places where the race, and sex of workers is representative of the general public.

Just put your sublime config in your dotfiles config?

my godaddy up times are better than my media temple up times..

the report doesn't seem to compensate for inflation

At the end of the day.. probably what most people need to know, and few do. Uber is a logistics company. A wide open market with high growth. Just look at Coyote, or any other logistics company that has blown up size in the past few years.

Because they are literally selling you a machine that just sits around and 'makes' money.

If the amount of profit from using these machines was greater than the profit from selling the machines.. then the company selling the machines wouldn't sell them to you..

Number 1 reason for restaurant failure in the first year.. undercapitalization. Initial capital investment in a food truck is higher than renting a location which already has a kitchen. You are basically setting yourself up for failure.

Plus lets get down to the real money.. Profit margins in restaurants suck for the food items (unless you are high end); You make all your money on drinks + booze + deserts. But with food trucks a large percent of the people aren't purchasing drinks, booze, or deserts; as they are getting the items to go.

A couple years ago I was privy to a conversation Danny Bowien (mission chinese) was having with a journalist at his restaurant. Danny had already had been getting buzz; and Mission Chinese was about to blow up.. The conversation led to food trucks. What Bowien had to say about the economics of them is that.. They really aren't worth it. You have to purchase a vehicle.. out fit it.. and then you still have to rent at a commissary for food prep + clean up. Plus if you really care about food.. You aren't able to make the best product in a van. Paying rent on a space that has already been outfitted as a restaurant will come out cheaper(depending on decore), and allow you to make a better product.

Mechanical to Electrical back to Mechanical is not efficient unless you can turn off the mechanical at idle.. thats not possible with a turbine...

Turbines are not fuel efficient for vehicles that are stationary as they idle at 20k rpm. Also the exhaust is highly polluting.

"white american males working as computer programmers are not privileged" - It may be hard for you to see privilege as in general everyone you grew up with grew up with the same privileges as you, and now that you are a computer programmer your peers are also equally privileged. But I can rest assure you.. that you are privileged..

I am a hispanic male working as a computer programmer, and maybe because of that it's easier to see the privilege my occupation affords me as my grandmother lives in a country where the median income after tax is 500 american.. Where every so often the police, and army decide to shoot it out in the streets.. Where 51% of the population is beneath the poverty line..

Maybe it's easier for me to see privilege as I went to a highschool that was a minority majority school in the poor part of town. Where some kids weren't worried about there health care from the flu, but there health care from a flying bullets within there apartment complex. Where the kids in the cafeteria line that had white slips are getting there only meal of the day because it's paid for by the government.

Not only do I think it's important to understand we are privileged; I believe it is also our responsibility to act on that privilege to make sure all are granted the same basics our life affords as engineers (job security, food, health care, personal security[violence], time off to vote, etc). Only when the general public is granted those basics will I even partially not think of my self as not privileged.

I would suggest not to choose languages based off of who's hiring.. that being said.. Wolfram is always hiring..

Mathematica's language / environment is very effective at rapid prototyping math, computation, and physics applications... Thats why people use it.

Great article..it lacks any sources.. that being said you have to have a fact or 2 in order to have something to be sourced.

Wonders how anyone can live without being in the tech industry... then chooses not to buy local..

You are making things a lot harder on the families of SF that have been here for a long time by not shopping local.. please think of that next time you order on amazon from your soma office.
