Fantastic idea; wish I had thought of it. I'm very curious to see how efficient your "glue" code is between the components. It's one thing to have a modular hands-off system, it's often another to have that system perform reasonably well. What level of system administration do you expose/hide to the developer? How do you plan to make money?

FYI, you may want to check out some Chinese recipes. The Chinese use sesame oil quite often. As you say, a little goes a long way, but that little amount has a great affect. Vegies like broccoli and bok choy especially seem to like it.
As fodder for discussion, where should the government's influence stand on issues of medicine or circumcision, as practiced by children's parents? At what point can the government say "your freedoms matter less to us than taking care of _your_ child the way _we_ believe it should be done"?
How can there be a rule of law when you have so many laws on the book, it is literally impossible for anyone to know what they are?

Worse, they are being produced as such a rate no human can keep up.

Law failed.
I usually buy Adam's, which would be the just-peanuts variety. I do find that it could use a little salt, so just add some. (Oh, and habanero powder out of a shaker, because nobody's peanut butter includes that.)

This sounds a lot like saying its not worth it to help one person.
Ever tried hitting the back button in like, TurboTax web app? The web is totally broken for apps. I think what you are referring to here is the _intention_ of the web to be consistent. The reality is far from this.
To be more specific, there are multiple companies using this for edge computing. E.g. cloudflare has supported wasm for a while now. At this point it is increasingly widely used in the browser as a way to optimize parts of e.g. react and other popular frameworks. So, the compiler works and is being used by people. So, kind of appropriate to release a 1.0 to signal having some kind of stability.
That sounds violently American. Anyway, according to that statement either you hate dense cities or you just love wasting your time in them.

Maybe try a top public transit network, like Vienna (overall), Moscow or Madrid (subway), Tokyo (train) or even Paris (when there's no strike) to see things done right, because in the US cities with barely functional public transit can be counted with a single hand.
Except for potential Anti-trust litigation, I don't see any reason for Apple to 'not lock' its M series computers from boot loader to app store in the near future as the walled garden + vertical integration has been their most successful business strategy.

One should be naive to think that the conversion to M-series wasn't done with the intention to lock the macOS platform akin to iOS.

I wouldn't be even surprised if doing so didn't attract anti-trust issues as they got away with iPhone, iPad which are not lesser computer than a PC especially since several applications are becoming 'mobile first' or even 'mobile only'; So it's ridiculous to compare smartphones, tablets to game consoles whenever this topic is brought to the discussion.
Why would you need to assemble anything at the bottom of the ocean? Couldn't you set it up above then drop it with the cables attached, assuming it's heavy enough?
There's a bacteria called Legionella that thrives between 60 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. To prevent it from growing in the hot water supply, most water heaters shoot for 140 and then achieve cooler temperatures by mixing in cold water at the faucet.

Your plan could still work, but I think that the water heater is its best target, and that much of the savings goes away once you factor in that constraint.

I think that there are many opportunities to improve by thinking along those lines though. For instance, I always thought it was weird that the grocery store I worked at ran the refrigerator compressors even when it was cold outside.
i quit because after less than a year, the job is very repetitive. It's not very challenging, plus i got offered 60% raise somewhere else with some new cool stuff i want to learn -> insta-quit.

The project manager of mine was a terrible person. He made testers(female) cried in the toilet all the time. Think about it!!!
how did this pass any sort of peer review though?

> Let me understand this. Gumroad raises $8m from VCs, isn't able to grow fast enough, so the VCs agree to give up any claim on the company. Sahil fires all of the employees

VCs don't simply give up claims to companies that look like the might be profitable. The writing on the wall was that Gumroad wouldn't survive without additional infusions of cash from investors. If they couldn't find any investors willing to put money into the company, it would have gone bankrupt.

In other words, those employees wouldn't have had jobs anyway. Their equity would be worthless while the company went through bankruptcy.

Normally these companies are sent through arduous bankruptcy proceedings, the assets sold, and the investors recoup pennies on the dollar. The VCs could have gone this route and Sahil could have bought the assets at some nominal amount, but the VCs decided that ceremony wasn't worth their time and just gave it to him. Or at least that's how I read this.

It might have been more fair if the VCs had given the company to the employee equity holders as well, but I assume Sahil would have simply bought out their <1-2% holdings for pennies on the dollar.
Yes I understand where you’re coming from. To me, if these are the facts it just seems like your garden variety bureaucratic screw up. I agree it’s bad optics, and I’d like all of my government agencies to be supremely competent but we have what we have. It’s a pretty big leap for me to go full conspiracy mode based on this.

My hope is that years down the road when the dust settles we all should be able to see more clearly what happened.
I can only guess that people sending messages to my cancelled WhatsApp account saw only one tick. That's still meaningless to less skilled users and there's no way to tell if the user has gone forever or if they're just offline for a bit.

Anyway, my point is that WhatsApp shouldn't silently accept messages for a non existent user no matter what weak signals you get. When you send a text message to a non existent number, you get an error. Same for an e-mail.

I can't help but think it's a way to deter users from leaving WhatsApp.
There are countless actions which could cause the death of others. Selling cigarettes, serving hamburgers, and driving come to mind. Some will value a state-mandated solution to these problems over the idea of individual liberty (including the risks of causing death to oneself or others). Some people will value the latter more. There's no one answer that fits every situation, which is how we wind up with peaceful societies than can take different approaches to solving these problems.

Personally, I think liberty is a more powerful construct than groupthink or group-forced behavior and actually leads to better outcomes for everyone than group-controlled plans or solutions.
Wonder how much money a simple man could make if they windowed their short correctly. Could TSLA create short billionaires with its current valuation?
Nobody lost their fortune just by keeping dollars in an account. Most people who invested in altcoins have.
It was a tradeoff. Cartridges cost a lot more but they made piracy a lot harder and loading times nonexistent. In retrospect it seems like a bad move but it could have gone the other way.

Ironically, thanks to FPGAs we can now pirate cartridge games on the original hardware easily and without modification, while the situation with disc-based consoles is somewhat trickier. Meanwhile, physical console game distribution has swung back to solid-state media since optical discs simply can't match the capacity or speed.
Considering a pending IPO, you would think this would be addressed by now. Far too often they are they are down; especially when big swings are happening in the crypto-currency market.
Taxes are a function of income, so irrelevant [edit] and either factored into CPI or again, not monetary policy. That's fiscal policy. Take it up with congress, not the fed.

Real estate, while down, is a supply and demand function. In big cities, supply is artificially constrained to the benefit of existing landowners. On average across the US housing, on an inflation-adjusted dollars per square foot basis, is actually exactly the same as its been since the 1970s. [1]

Education and healthcare are social and fiscal policy issues and not connected to monetary policy at all.

Won't happen. Sure, it would be a great acquisition for Apple, but the author doesn't explain why Facebook would even want to get acquired rather than going public. Facebook isn't going to sell for $50 Billion, they have too many hands in the cookie jar at this point to sell for the market value. Let alone that Apple doesn't even have enough cash.
Hi Brad,

You are 100% correct in your analysis here. One of the biggest problems from the merchant's perspective is being able to be successful with these tools and actually benefitting in the long run. They need a way to be able to test these deals to see how they are working for their business and then measure if these deals are driving traffic and revenue and continually tweak them. For services based businesses, being able to fill last minute availabilities instead of selling vouchers that can be used at anytime are also extremely critical to sustainability. Without this, this advertising method won't be able to serve these local businesses. These are the very things we are focusing on at bTreated.

Thanks for the great food for thought!

"A key problem that occurs with the use of P3P is that there is a lack of enforcement." You can "promess" one thing through P3P, but do something different with the data you gather.

The only time I used P3P was to get around some restrictions with Internet Explorer.
Mongo servers can be run in a mode that rejects the query with an error if it would result in a row scan. Very useful for safely avoiding bad queries slamming your server.
> So when you were claiming my gaydar was "broken", you knew you were lying?

Not at all. I believe that you have described things as you saw them. I'm suggesting that reality was different.

> At this point, I simply don't believe that you've met gay people who argued against supporting gay marriage on the basis that we have to get government out of the business of marriage first.

Good for you. I don't believe your claim either.

> It's a highly dubious claim,

Based on what? Your perception of the political uniformity of gays?

> and you seem less than entirely honest.

Based on what?

I'm not relying on gaydar. I'm relying on "I'm gay and I think ..." statements. How do you know that they were lying?

What's the basis for your "uniformly straight" claim? Did they all say "I'm straight and I think ...."?

All of those are taller or nearly as tall as the tallest buildings in all of Canada. In one US city. What does that prove?

I don't know what you are on about or doing...the post you took down was full of insults and retorts to things I didn't say and simply wrong about me. It was cruel and projecting. You said several strange and aggressive things like I should stop pretending I care at all about other people, the planet, or animals...no idea where that came from nor is it true in any way. You said several untrue things what were oddly blaming. Now you say you weren't wrong and meant it and aren't sorry. I am just not dealing with that anymore from anyone, anywhere. I shouldn't have replied at all to begin with as I saw this coming. Take whatever shots you need to. None of it matters anymore. Goodbye.

> (What package manager allows for your multiple rustc versions? Or is it a bespoke solution?)

rustup, the recommended / website default way of installing rustc, supports installing multiple channels. The command it installs on your path as "rustc" (and "cargo" etc.) is actually a wrapper; you can use e.g. "rustc +nighly foo.rs", change the default for your user, and even change the default for a directory.

That said, CI is typicality done in ad-hoc VMs or containers (e.g., a Travis matrix), so having different versions in automated test runs would be straightforward even if rustup didn't support this.
Design, land, environmental permitting and remediation, noise and dust remediation, aboriginal/metis consultation, utility components on LRT/subway projects can span years and costs millions of dollars per utility and a given kilometer may have 100. and then you have to actually build whatever it is.

Just doesn't seem like an analysis with enough detail.
But it's an extra step in the build process, you still have to decide on TypeScript, Flow, CoffeeScript, etc., and I'm not sure if the Node runtime library gets the benefits of typing.
I think the most effective countermeasure is just good tracking ability. Drones are pretty conspicuous -- having one land in your backyard is like a giant billboard saying "DRUG DEAL IN PROGRESS, RIGHT HERE!"

The counter-countermeasure, of course, is to start making "deliveries" to random people, and tie up law enforcement by compelling them to arrest innocent parties.
The whole reason they built so many data tools in Python though is because R can be a pain to program in.
I thought they were already there and the Russians somewhat fucked up by contaminating the lake with drill coolant.

Generally the UI is written with one of the two big GUI toolkits: GTK (Gnome) or Qt (KDE). If you run Gnome, you get GTK and all the apps work without needing to download anything else, but if you have Gnome and want an app using the Qt framework, you'll need to download the Qt libraries, which can be substantial. Even after downloading the Qt libraries, though, the application might still look weird, since it's not a native GTK UI.

The state of WMs on Linux is really, really more complicated than it needs to be.
It happens automatically for contentious threads (measured in comments).
I'm a conservative and it has zero to do with identifying with a certain community or concern about being rejected by them.

Republican candidates are more likely to vote on issues I care about in a way that aligns with my values. That alignment is far from perfect, but it's a lot better than it would be with a Democrat, especially a progressive Democrat.

That's why I typically vote Republican, sometimes begrudgingly. Has nothing to do with belonging to a community. In fact, the communities I am a part of rarely discuss politics. We discuss values that inform our politics, but the politics themselves are secondary.

I have absolutely no fear of social disconnection due to my political views. If I was to suddenly start voting democratic, no one in my closest circles would even need to know.

And I care nothing about whether progressives accept me. I simply have very different values and don't believe where they want our culture and country to move is healthy. So, I don't support them in elections. How they feel about me is irrelevant.
Oh wow! For about that long I’ve wanted such a thing to exist!
Yes. And Red Hat is not known for splurging on pre-profitability M&A. This was relatively cheap. I’m going to take a wild guess and say $100M?

> A fact is a thing that can be objectively verified

The past four years of "fact checking" have demonstrated those are not the sort of "facts" anyone is talking about.
Given what we know today, yes a new language is warranted.

The reason I've stuck with C/C++ is because everything I've ever written still works. Meanwhile my friends are playing with new languages every year (and all the books, classes, and conferences to go along with them). All the new syntax's seemed driven by corporations vying for mindshare (money), not the betterment of our industry.

Give us a real alternative that is community driven and standardized. It needs to compile everywhere, have the option of a great IDE, and have libraries that make sense. We don't need another cute or toy language (JavaScript's 10 day incubation that I'm stuck living with now). Until then ... C++ is what we have.
Hey, I'm from Bountysource and saw you're having troubles -- sorry about that.

> The social pendulum in the U.S. has swung far too far towards an authoritarian police state.

My view is it's gone the opposite direction. We've neutered our police forces such that they can't even protect the rights of citizens to go about their business without being impeded by anti-authoritarian protestors, and we've accepted that as a fact of life. If this country didn't have the inertia of having the world's reserve currency and the largest industrial capacity for a crucial ~50-60 year period, nobody would invest in us given our social unrest.

I've been hearing more and more about this company all of a sudden. Started last month when i was looking for a new fitness band and saw that theirs is super cheap - only $13. Even if it only lasts a month it'll be worth the money given that my $150 fitbit only lasted 6 months before falling apart.

Google Cloud needs to hit the numbers. And the only way to do this is to hit the big boys. Dealing with 1000 small customers who are petty and spending small vs dealing with 1 big customer that moves the needle. That is what is going on here.

Once Google Cloud manages to hit the numbers, you would expect things to be much better for the smaller players (this remains to be seen).

Not excusing their support operations, but I did manage to get on chat with someone about a Billing issue (to understand my billing better), and I was pleasantly surprised at the response time (immediate).

The slow and free support route is to use the Google Cloud issue tracker: https://cloud.google.com/support/docs/issue-trackers
You tend to use this if you are not critically impacted and you are also a developer.

By and large, things works as advertised. You can keep spamming that Feedback form in the Cloud Console. Product Managers do read it and address it.
The mathematical trust just ensures the transactions will all add up and history won't be rewritten. You still need the human trust to deliver the sold goods, have your exchange give you USD for your BTC, etc.

>It might be better to interpret these findings as showing that cognitive bias can be reduced by encouraging people to pay closer perceptual attention to their environment

Many places do because they have people like yourself thinking they should. But really nobody would notice if you dropped support.
Minecraft has their own characters and stories. Like other people have said here, Roblox is a platform to build characters and stories to sell.
I'm employed, but it's average money (for this profession, not in SV) and I don't see any career progression.

So I'd say I'm still waiting to be truly successful.
Is it encrypted? It's really annoying that modern chat apps without end to end encryption are even a thing. This is a solved problem now, several open source, drop in replacements exist to secure messaging.

It'll be really sad if a bunch of people leave WhatsApp, which actually had good encryption, for services that don't even try to protect users.
/aside: does "how full my gym is right now" work with an API?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the WhatsApp founders, between the two of them, can easily sponsor Signal’s lean team for decades. (Since they’ve shown the inclination with substantive initial investments already, I’d imagine that they’ll happily keep funding if Signal continues to be used)
>I.e. all my efforts to pique interest didn't have any effect that I could see. He had to find his own way to it.

All of my attempts to interest my now 13 year old have met with similar indifference. He's genuinely impressed with the work I do, but is much more interested in being a streamer. Oh well.
I disagree, they're NOT public utilities, they're private companies that people chose to use (why is beyond me).

What could be considered instead, is building public utilities as a community.
