Hey, I work for Springboard -- and you're right about the seven resources. That was a bug, thanks for catching it! We've fixed it so that all resources should link to the right resource. Please comment here if you see any more bugs :)
Do you have any insight on the recent change to the TN Economist class? https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-issues-clarif...
It looks like a hanging threat of deportation for maybe 10,000 people +
Early retail investors in ICOs are not going to be very happy with returns down the line I don't think...meanwhile, hedge funds thrive anywhere there is volatility, and crypto is nothing but volatile.
If you're big on America First, why wouldn't you want the best foreign entrepreneurs to come and found great companies that generate American jobs, American taxes, and American products?
Handy resource -- but like somebody else commented, probably better called a summary of modern JavaScript than a cheatsheet.
Awesome work! More tutorials like this are needed.
I wonder whether Trump's SEC will consider doing the same -- so far, they've been very lax in terms of enforcement (for better or for worse).
I could see this making sense -- TaskRabbit only makes sense if there's economies of scale on the demand side -- I imagine that's hard to generate with the tasks they have on there. I've only ever ordered one TaskRabbit -- and yes, it was to assemble Ikea furniture.
I'm not sure what Uber thinks is so different about what they provide at this point. There's a lot of work in Montreal already on alternatives for Uber -- I'm sure that will continue.
Mutually assured destruction via tweet/policy statement?
It's a brave new world we live in :/
A dark trend in a loss of civil liberties -- combined with the all-recording record of electronic devices, this is likely to be an explosively bad combination for those dedicated to human freedom :(
This feels like a conversation meant to get a veiled point through, perhaps pushed by the same minds behind reevaluating anti-trust around large technology companies: http://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2017/09/17/open-markets...
It'd be interesting to get a split beyond just pure volume of startup businesses to dive a little deeper -- small businesses divided by industry, and also revenue/profit per small business might be interesting to look at.
Anecdotally, it doesn't feel like small businesses have slowed, though I live in the eye of the Silicon Valley storm. I'd love to dive deeper into the stats to try to reconcile what I'm anecdotally experiencing and the systematic truths that might be out there.
There's a difference between people who can implement models and those that can create them -- startups could use people who do the former, and many don't actually need the latter.
This gets back to how innovation is often advanced under military/security circumstances -- it's unfortunate that so much money stems to those reasons for research such that the intent of the researchers is always a tiny bit questionable.
I don't buy fuel (don't use a car) and aside from the rates set by the electricity provider (essentially a monopoly provider in California) and public transit provider (a city monopoly), fuel costs don't affect me and I actually choose to spend a higher amount with discretion since I moved to the Solar Choice program.
Food is such a small part of my discretionary spend (I buy grains in bulk, specifically quinoa, and greens from the farmer's mart).
Looking back at my spend, the majority of it is in technology that is undergoing massive deflation, or my pet hobby of collecting rare books (neither of which is accounted for in the basket).
I am probably an edge case, but the point remains -- the basket that is set seems outdated. I can't imagine that people are spending as much on food as you think. ex: "USDA data shows that in 2010 Americans spent 9.4 percent of their disposable income on food"
There's been a lot of work done on the effects of long-term unemployment -- I'd wager that a lack of purpose drives opioid use rather than the other way around...
Are inflationary measures in an age of technological deflation and rapidly shifting consumer baskets still really a valid view into inflation?
If the Industrial Revolution is any analogue, there will be plenty of inter-state wars, revolutions within states and competing ideologies within a few decades...
The optimist in me says that there's been a period of 70 years or so without major wars between different state powers, and maybe MAD will hold up -- but in the theme of prologues repeating themselves...
A true step to equality, in a truly global sense.
I wonder if there's a comprehensive guide somewhere to maintaining control over your personally identifiable information across all platforms.
Is it just confined to bread? I feel like subsidies/industrial farming have led to a homogenized diet overall -- to the point where it can be hard I think to confine the definition of oversupply to only one foodstuff.
"Crazy" is unaddressable. It's a solution that answers any questions that might arise, including questions we might ask of ourselves.
The interesting split is to see when something is called "ideologically" driven versus something merely painted as the act of a "crazed" person.
I've never been sure that Postmates has a model that can scale internationally. FWIW, China basically runs Postmates equivalents all across the board -- with low labour costs, you can get things delivered for pennies on the dollar. It feels like a regional play at best in my opinion...
The reality is that thinktank as corporate patronage is a trend that extended long before Google -- it's a problem we have to face where money can buy ideas. It just so happens that it's Google or Facebook who has the overwhelming share of money as opposed to Exxon.
I think there's something to be said about looking at the business incentives of the people you deal with on the Internet. Google, plain as day, is using you as training data. DuckDuckGo bills itself as the privacy-minded alternative. You shouldn't be surprised if Google violates your privacy. If DuckDuckGo does, that's the end of their business model.
Some people have had a more comprehensive view on this -- if I were to focus on one field of math to understand really well though, it'd be statistical reasoning and the understanding of probability and uncertainty.
getting to the point where you really wonder who is next at this point lol
"Donald Trump no longer pursuing Uber CEO job"
Interesting subpoint here: people who are able to work remotely are going to add about an hour or perhaps a bit less to their productivity but those who cannot (let's say a hypothetical janitor/sales clerk) will not, further adding a layer of inequality to those who work with their minds versus those who work with their hands.
This is all things equal, and assuming that the advent of self-driving cars doesn't also bring a whole new economy/job market.
How much does it usually cost for an EB-1 process?
It's funny to see how data generates itself based on societal interest. Like, you're going to have shittons of training data if you were going to look at commentary on Jay-Z lyrics but not on, say, Principia Mathematica haha.
