i think there isnt an overlap if you zoom in more?
just another user. fun app, feel like theres something here. as with all note taking apps pen and paper for me are just so hard to beat.
I find this line of thinking similiar to copmanies with "innovation" officers. That is, having an employee who is in "charge of" innovation implies all other employees dont?
There is a slight bug on the interaction. When you set P=Q or for example you can't get the one P at the top and Q at the bottom. The lines disappear.
Basically you need the "infinite/zero" point to compensate for a situation when you have two points completely perpendicular to the x-axis. AKA it is not intersecting a third point. So it intersects this special "infinite" point.
And conceptually why you need this "infinite" point is that without it you can't add points together properly.
Say for counter argument instead of doing this "flip or mirror" across the x-axis (in the interaction it is the red dot appearing). And instead the red dot just appears on the same side as the two points being added on the curve - without the flipping.
If P1+P2 = Q instead of this Q' that is flipped. And P2+Q = P1
If you try and add P1+P2+Q you would get either Q+Q or P1+P1 depending on if you did (P1+P2)+Q or adding up P1+(P2+Q) which are not equal.
so you need this red dot flipping thing happening in the interaction. However, if you have this flipping that means P1+P2 = Q' which is the mirror flip of Q.
So Q'+Q need to equal this special infinite/zero point to ensure associativity works.
The death penalty should remain legal. Yes/No
user clicks Yes. new one pops up Show Results (button) or Guess which was more popular: Yes/No. This is more simple than guessing a percentage. but both could work.
So you then show the results and then you show the "meta" results which is like a "line" that is labelled where it shows what others thought of other people. The dead simple idea is a nice draw, this like...ah hah learning moment to learn or see more about the world I think is maybe a nice feature to add. to get more people to come back?
feature request? dumb question, but can you add underneath or after you click your vote and before you show it. can you ask "What do you think most people answered" for that question.
It is cool to see the distribution of yes/no. But maybe when you do that you can do a kind of....how far off was i type result that lets people learn about their...biases? or just a fun surprise.
Anyways fun idea!
Well, you do mention ascii generator hehe.
well first you have to imagine, what is a gain from holding stake? At the end of the day, is it really a claim on future profits? Maybe more reasonably just a stock that you can trade/sell for money. And what does one do with that money? Buy things I guess to increase your welfare.
Tax expenditure in the ideal setting would be spent on clean water, education, etc. things that increase your welfare. And successful companies paying lots of taxes hopefully increase the welfare of a country.
So it is kind of like taxes emulate welfare increase...is the way I see it.
I think it is taxes, what you’re looking for. Not to be snarky
I guess if spotify sues him for libel, then it will be documented the actual payout... which is probably higher than 12$ but lower than 80M$...
I leave you with an anecdote about him: once he was teaching a lecture and a student’s button was missing. He struggled to teach/cancelled the course and admitted the irritation was intense because of the button. My other philology friend told me.
Strange and interesting, makes me humanize and think about him in a different context.
kind of agree as well. linkedin premium is a good case people will pay for irl video game points.
Spoiler: don’t read this unless spoiled
But the part describing the teacher who wanted to kill the child was the funniest chapter of a book I’ve ever read. And I recommend this book based only on this one chapter.
I have never seen this kind of comedy in a book. Maybe something like it’s always sunny in Philadelphia or futurama comes slightly close. But I’ve never laughed out loud from a book like that.
I think this X-factor, happiness co-efficient or what not...that we see top athletes (who had a natural talent just like other athletes) talk about, which gives them that small edge that lets them be the absolute best instead of just, pretty good at a sport. This kind of makes me think of luck as a quality. I wonder if Big HR FANG companies are "watching" their employees trying to find this X-Factor in a quantitative way.
Would be cool trying to think of "work projects" or experiments to find those with X-Factors.
Maybe saying something like hey we’re you aware the browser throws this error NSURLErrorServerCertificateUntrusted
To point out the issue but maybe not say exactly what was wrong?
I reset my computer and it fixed it for me.
Hey I liked all the examples.
Thought you might like this one: A Geometric Analysis of Five Moral Principles (OUP 2017)
Ethics using vectors or from a description of the technique: The geometric approach derives its normative force from the Aristotelian dictum that we should “treat like cases alike.” The more similar a pair of cases are, the more reason do we have to treat the cases alike. These similarity relations can be analyzed and represented geometrically. In such a geometric representation, the distance in moral space between cases reflects their degree of similarity. The more similar a pair of cases are from a moral point of view, the shorter is the distance between them.
Can you give links for further reading. I think I read about certain investors but never saw black rock names as one who wanted him out.
right, but doesnt the alledged spill over effect of increasing the price on the unregulated exchange, impact the price regardless of exchange?
You don't ask for btc price X on coinbase versus btc price Y on biance? Wouldn't you just care about the price of btc? and if it rises on certain exchanges, then it would arbitrage until it rose on other exchanges as well?
My childhood experiment actually comes in handy! I can confirm at the least that planting half of the same batch of seeds close to a road's (the tarmac's) edge next to it, and in a forest, my grass seeds grew much worse next to the road.
Also I was told to never eat berries growing from a bush close to a road since they are more dirty.
was that in software or only the new Pros?
and maybe a follow up question (to measure the false negatives)
Do you check the applicants who were denied based on their test and see where they ended up working at. E.g. you are a mid tier start up who rejects someone who ends up working at amazon as a high level engineer – do you mark that a failure?
Some random comments since I don't have medium
>greatness in tech is not constrained by capital, it’s constrained by labor; money can be manufactured in an instant, but talent takes years to cultivate
>as we tend to do every decade
One thing maybe the author maybe didn't focus about is those talented engineers finally leaving fang companies as it is just simply time. And like it was mentioned it is just cyclical. As in all good things come to an end? I've seen a quote saying fang is were talent goes to die but these companies must be doing some pretty good and interesting training for the new generation. One that comes to mind is the guy who started Twilio coming from aws. But, on topic and on the social network companies being around for so long now I cant help but think there will be a new wave coming from them. And it would be interesting to find these new wave companies and give them as an example.
The other thing is that everything is recorded on the internet. so if one is a fraud sooner or later they would be revealed. It is kind of like when you pick up these "famous business books" and it just seems like giberish but at the time they were very popular. I've really liked some "thought leaders" and their vc track but after digging into what they've done/said it is kind of disappointing.
@numair if you are reading, sad you are quitting twitter.
It is a shame he just doesnt come clean and write a book. Could auction a nice movie deal out of it at least.
a prior example is how iphone built in the flashlight app...now the apple watch built in a period female tracker (which have multiple apps built by companies worth a couple hundred M all together)...I can't see how this fails since theyve released oxygen monitor in the last watch and better heart rate monitoring...
quick googles says $4.18 per 1,000 views
and that has 1.4M views so maybe it looks like it? Not to mention the cool brand building etc. I mean youtube is the new tv shows and maybe they want to make videos for a long time so why not.
the criticism of C.A. do you have any further reading? i recall a podcast where they interviewed one of the founders ( his name was something comically evil like last name Spectre) and he was saying it was just consulting mumbojumbo and it didnt work. but now I cant find it.
I think the political will here is kind of weak...the voters who own housing dont want their asset to decrease in value and wont vote for politicians who want to force investment into industry, versus the renters who do.
I am not sure what to suggest...
ive read ij, with the footnotes and it took me so long I think I forgot some of the first part of the book while reading the later part. I enjoyed it kind of like a tv series but with so many episodes I forget the first season but kept watching.
So on one hand Ive heard the hype, and it was good...but I wonder if it was shorter it could have had a bigger punch (like 1984 or something else) and while typing this I wonder if this tv show analogy ( Rick and Morty comes to mind) is a kind of good analogy? Or maybe im a philistine...
I was almost going to buy the Pale king today but ill get it soon and start reading it.
the editor for ij released his edited version of a book dfw left, or remnants of a manuscript called pale king. have you read it?
Okay fine! :)
but to clarify: -you take three regular plastic coke bottles
-put them in an equilateral triangle
-make the length of a side from center of the bottle slightly longer than a knife
-take three identical knives and create a platform that can hold a regular cup of water
?
Wait..by typing it out like this.. I think I solved it haha. Thanks for the brain tickle!
