i don't know what this data set is showing sociologically. it's just a scrape of data and not very well presented. that said, nice project but go on and give it something else.
The commons thing does sound pretty magical the way you described it. For me, there were often anti-social people at those common areas. People who you sometimes didn't want to run into, who were really certain subcultures and they didn't always mix.
I don't know if it's teenagers today, but that's always been the case for me and I'm in my mid 30s. Going outside close knit circle of people you know real well for a while, when you create an event people are perpetually going to leave their answer to the last minute or say maybe.
There's an emerging trend with tech companies to sue former individual employees for theft. It's a departure from the usual practice of suing other companies who acquire the employee and work on a competing product. The idea in silicon valley is to intimidate not the person being sued, but all future employees within your own company who might be thinking of doing the same thing. It entirely changes the calculus of moving on to another firm when you know you'd be dealing with litigation for years afterwords. It's a shame because Silicon Valley was built on former employees leaving their companies and starting their own firms to innovate.
what a wonderfully well written news story from an organization I don't normally expect to invest in long form writing. Andrew Evans is a rising prolific writing journalist.
That's not how you control the behavior of a population. You'd post the entire number of people caught, warn the violators and make them pay a small indemnity. Having a small number of people reported caught makes enforcement seem ineffective in finding the culprits.
counterpoint: journalism is obsolete. At least from the standpoint of newspapers. Good writing is superfluous. The content and information that I'm really after is available in more condensed format through aggregators, reactions on discussion forums and summaries. Most people prefer not to read a long article. Just give me the TLDR, the chart, the stock price, the name, the temperature etc...
came here to use the exact example but didn't see the headline soon enough to beat you to it. This is why I read the comments first before I click on any bait links.
it's 2 people, so they've gotta be two people who were caught on their screens flaunting the rules or being ignorant of it. If it was network surveilance, you'd have numbers in the thousands easily.
wow, seen the games. never played myself. disappointing it's just the computer playing against you and not a trained chicken making decisions. the chicken just pecks the screen.
been an entire decade since I've been in an Aldi. Their products used to entirely suck. I'm quite impressed with the stuff they got now, or my tastes have changed from early twenties to today in terms of differientiating food quality.
Very good counter point. I worked at a back office for a large transportation company, and the work was much more rewarding than anything I've experienced at a startup.
This is news itself to me. If they're actually two separate organizations, are they really operating independently? If they rebranded, I'll eventually find out and find it suspicious they changed names.
sure. Maybe it's impossible to operate so thinly on admin and engineering. But it'd be a really revolutionary way to operate a news organization: put it towards the people who gather news and budget appropriately for it. The listicles and reaggregations they've popularized have been the worst things about modern journalism.
They're defiintely administration and engineering heavy. It's a media company, so they should have budgets for reporters and actual reporting. Have one editor, get rid of all the engineers and put them on a contractual basis and then all reporters.
It's not interesting at all. It's the the mundane politics of everyday normal foreign relations as countries try to get a leg up and interfere in each other's processes. Maybe the only thing that's interesting is that for the first time, it's happening to the rich western former colonial powers. The chickens have finally come home to roost.
I believe the compression benefits of AV1 to H.264 are greater than Jpeg to newer versions of image compression. Also, when you're talking about video, the sizes of files are magnitudes greater than images. I believe as long as we achieve backwards compatibility and easy conversion of video files, AV1 will be the future.
great story. highly unlikely coincidence. same names and wedding at the same city. domain names can have different easy to remember permutations and there are different top level domains so it's likely the couple would've registered something similar. overall good advice on not keeping it permanent, although I could understand some people turning it into a family business or something.
I have a hard time comprehending this article. The three people in charge of Saudia Arabia, Russia and US produce more oil than OPEC the author says. But then SA is in OPEC, and the three don't produce a significant amount more than OPEC combined. What is the entire gist of writing this article other than there's an unproven conspiracy.
Amazon as a retailer doesn't make much money. Margins are thin, and even thinner with their free shipping. Creating their own private brands of consumer products are not going to make them much money, but it'd make sure they control not just the sale but the production of the item itself.
It's not only the nytimes but readers on hackernews and other general social networks. It's attracted a discussion from their users. This article makes the top 10% of most active posts in the past 24 hours. Readers see Amazon and assume something sinister is going on that they need to pay attention to, when it's probably not the case. I blame the readers as much as the publishers. After all, journalism today is all about chasing the readers and clicks.
That is brutal for all the stress & hours a franchise owner would have to work themselves to make the store profitable. I wonder who handles the money losing promotions financially, the corporate or small business owner?
They are building equity in the form of earning cash income and then using it to invest in additional cash generating franchisees. It's cash, so they could put that money into owning 7-11 stock, the real estate the store is on or whatever.
This is also a great feature that makes it exactly like gold. But unlike gold, you don't need to dig a hole in the ground, put it there and have people guard it. You just need enough electricity to run it.
this is the New Yorker, the crown jewel of the conde naste empire and they wouldn't do that with their editorial process. Either it wouldn't be printed, the anonymity wasn't important or there were other people who fit her profile obscure her.
This is the most accurate description of how I felt dropping out of social media, although to a much less strict degree. I don't spend almost any time looking at other people's lives but I still wonder. That's fine, I let the mystery linger and I think it's been an overall positive. Close friends and regular occuring events, I still attend. The ones that have to schedule, I need someone to contact me directly or vice versa so I lose out on some events. On balance I think I gained more than I lost.
