I didn't have backyard until I moved to America and we bought a house. People very rarely used their backyards including kids, but it was great for having people over once in a while. Parks were always more fun growing up because other kids would be there too. But I realize the the culture shift of being more protective of children and not letting them out on their own when younger makes visiting parks more difficult.

I think the idea is that he consistently advances in every video until he eventually builds a computer. Might take a while.
Yeah, my mind just seems to just abstract it all just into the lessons learned decoupled from its origin. The story is something I can rarely recall. But I was always more into talking about ideas rather than trading stories.
Yeah, for an office you are generally fine by looking for "closed" headphones meaning they block out external sound and contain the headphone sound better. It's similar to noise isolation using sealed earbuds except I find it much more comfortable.
Cloud product life cycles should definitely be more interesting. Azure for example already has a "classic" model and the new ARM model. Either way, avoid tightly coupling code with some external vendors service.
At the Santana row shopping mall in San Jose people pretty much just use them as parking spots.
Re:Integrating GTA V into Universe on Wednesday January 11, 2017 @06:04PM (#13378287)
You have to consider the technical limitations as well. It was designed to play on the PS3 and Xbox 360. I imagine the next generation GTA will offer more of what you are looking for.
Plus depending on where you are it may be subsidized.

Precisely this, if anything, it's part of the experience you pay for. His suggestions of using ML for occupancy and optimizing for turnover would more likely ruin the restaurant. Luckily in business schools being aware of cultural differences is being taught more and more.
Re:No tipping means better business on Tuesday December 27, 2016 @12:02PM (#13264279)
While I'm not disagreeing that a server at a high end restaurant has substantially more work to do. I'd argue that simply the lower volume of orders and higher level planning by the restaurant managers is a more critical piece here. It's like running on a bespoke finely tuned server versus just trying to use auto scaling cloud services and crossing your fingers.

I'd definitely am curious as to the impact on tips when it's expected upfront like that.
And he's still too embarrassed to take a job at the gas station?
Yeah, in California it is similar except you need to use the bike lane if there is one and it is safe. But you are allowed to leave it for debris or other reasons. On single lane highways with no passing lane, if 5 or more cars are behind you, you are expected to turn off so they can pass. But most will just illegally pass.
I really wouldn't worry too much about the trivial issues.
Re:Investors Get Ready for the Coming Electric Car Revolution on Wednesday December 14, 2016 @02:55AM (#13174513)
You are misunderstanding the situation here. I personally love something like a nice road trip, prefer manual transmissions, and whatnot. I just hate commuting everyday by car. It's completely inefficient and has negative impacts on health. Are you suggesting you enjoy driving in traffic as well?
Re:Investors Get Ready for the Coming Electric Car Revolution on Wednesday December 14, 2016 @02:46AM (#13174484)
Is there really a case for range anxiety in America? Getting exact numbers seems to be difficult but here in California it's about 15 miles each way. Seems like even the cheaper vehicles could handle this with a weekly charge.

Unfortunately, I'd expect a reactive response to this issue.
80 hours of coding vs 80 hours of managing companies is different.

It's inefficient design, with the same space we could be doing so much more.

So far the only curated list I've liked is Google Now's news feed and Quora is OK but lately the big discussions have been about simpler topics such as physical looks.

Yes, but the point being is that if he wasn't the core maintainer would he still get that same rate?
Mainstream social media is pretty much curated at this point.

Depending on what you're drinking at the coffee shop it might be enough to just pay for an actual coworking space.
Re:I don’t like computers on Saturday November 05, 2016 @11:59AM (#12880283)
Real life is slow I'd say. This digital world just provides endless stimulus, it's pure addiction. I'd love to go out in the woods and just enjoy nature for a week. No music, no fancy camping gear, and just appreciate life 1.0.
Re:I don’t like computers on Saturday November 05, 2016 @11:21AM (#12880103)
I've been dreaming of a job where I work outdoors and maintain a bunch of simple IOT type devices end to end. Deploy hardware, script, and analyze data as needed. I would love to just cut through all the noise.
Re:Silicon Valley’s “megacommute” even worse than L.A on Friday November 04, 2016 @11:02AM (#12873103)
I can imagine this is true for tourists but I'd be interested to hear actual commuters say something like this. The definite pattern here is that so many have never experienced good public transportation. I drive to work for my commute and I don't feel safe at all dealing with the drivers who will do anything to shave off seconds from their commute.

If anything it actually enables the disabled and older crowd to become more mobile in those other countries. A car is a burden, and I think we can all understand how terribly efficient of a solution they are.
