Do they have food trucks in Sweden? Maybe students can pool in money and hire a cook or contract with a food truck to provide meals on time.

When I was in school back in India..and this was many decades ago...me and my cousins would get hot lunch delivered by my grandparents. But there was this group of kids who had working parents and from nuclear families...and a bunch of them hired a lady to cook meals for 10-12 of the kids to have hot fresh homemade lunches delivered. They felt it was better to feed them varied and fresh home cooked meals even if it had to be outsourced

Because it’s India and the cuisine is very regional, all the parents spoke the same language and had the same food habits.

Also..it was usually a good side gig for housewives who had a little extra time and had cooking skills. They are not competing in the market or with restaurants. They just like cooking and kids. I knew that this lady sometimes made extra food for kids who couldn’t afford homemade fresh lunches.

Of course...there were no overheads like incorporating it as a business or paying taxes or working in a paid commissary kitchen or bookkeeping etc...the moms just paid one of their neighbours who was also their friend. It was trust and word of mouth. No one was going to write a bad Yelp review for over spiced curry. So there’s that. It was just ingredients plus a profit margin as far as the housewife/caterer was concerned.

Childhood eating habits shape healthier diets in adulthood. Maybe someone from Sweden in HN can run with this as a startup?
Not sure of how relevant it is here, but yes, GPUs architectures are bound by tons of patents so you can bet your a$$ that if you were to commercially launch your own GPU IP, you'll have Nvidia's and AMD's lawyers knocking on your door in under 10 seconds.

IIRC most companies out there selling GPU IP are still paying royalties to AMD for their patents on shader architecture which they got from their acquisition of ATI which in turn came from their acquisition of ArtX which was founded by people who worked at the long defunct SGI (Silicon Graphics).

The funny thing is, if you backtrack through all GPU innovations, most stem from former SGI employees.

When 3Dfx went under, even though Nvidia's GPU tech was already superior to anything 3Dfx had, Nvidia immediately swept in and picked their carcass clean, mostly for their patents in this space, so they would have more ammo/leverage against competitors going forward.

Regardless how you feel about patents, with their pros and cons, hardware engineering is a capital intensive business and without patents to protect your expensive R&D, it wouldn't be a viable business.
Too late :) I just updated to the beta after I read about it in this thread. Seems like more clicks to jump around accounts, I have 3. I don't really care though, it's still better than any alternative.
Zig ships with clang, not gcc.
> [I] would even be a bit suspicious of someone who did...

Am I reading this right, that you'd consider dissociating from somebody over their associations... because their associations include news sources that discuss dissociation on the basis of one's associations?
Just to update any1. I gave Ktor a shot. Tried to do something very basic - consume a URL. Was using Scratch files in IntelliJ.

My god, the Ktor documentation is absurdly bad. Like horrifyingly bad. Google fu throws up results which do not have runnable code or explanation. Enough to put me off Ktor completely and continue my search. Maybe Jetbrains should drop web services framework development and focus on IDE cos Ktor is horrendous and scratch files could use some love.

Absolutely terrible API aswell.
Why are you not trying to source local capital? For a US investor, you will likely need a US company.

Other options include approaching big funds like Tiger Global (who will decline you), family-funds(possibly a decent source with the right wealthy family) or some type of corporate loan or Angel funds.

There's plenty different ways to do it, but speaking to local investors will gauge interest in whether you are "investable".
It is clear various tools can be effective or ineffective for companies and individuals – this is a very subjective topic. However, since many tech companies, who have subjectively decided they want to have all of their employees in the same physical location, have a talent shortage problem, it would seem only beneficial to modify our immigration policy to allow more of these highly skilled individuals to work in the US. There outcomes of making such changes are almost exclusively positive.

in some cases when mapping the hits (especially when there is whole salvo), it is sometimes pretty clear that Ukrainians were targeting some specific target, and the civilian buildings would just happen to be either in the flightpath on the downward trajectory or just pretty close (again, it is an USSR tech - so 1000ft(300m) is pretty close when unguided missile is launched from 15-20km away) and we're talking about pretty populated city.
Living in Texas here (hopefully not too much longer).

Texas does everything it can to cater to the oil and gas industry. Let's not even talk about our recent ice storm debacle. There have been cries from the public for years about getting high speed rail between Houston and Dallas. Every time this comes up, the oil and gas industry steps up and kills it. They don't want high speed rail or wind and solar. They want people slurping up the gasoline/diesel to make that 4-hour trip. Sure, wind and solar exist here, but the o/g industry does its level best to keep it in check.

It's the thinking in Texas that is one of the reasons I want to move to the PNW. No place is perfect, but Texas is a special kind of stupid when it comes to progress. Between the oil and gas industry, redneck NIH attitude, and the serious desire by an alarming number of people to "secede", it's difficult to take this place seriously.

Texas has basically a 9-month, humid-as-hell summer and no winter to speak of. It doesn't rain enough here, the sun is out too much, and the people (not transplants) are the most insular I've ever experienced and I've lived in 5 different countries. The education here in the schools is among the worst I've ever seen. I frequently compare my children's learning, topics, etc., with my European family, and the difference is shocking. American kids, with exception, don't get the level of education that other children receive. Don't think for a moment that children of oil and gas employees are going to be open to wind and solar, something that would kill their parents' lifeblood. I've actually heard this talked about. Oil and gas kids are told there is no such thing as climate change, no use in being "green", etc.

Texas may have some good aspects, but I've not seen many. Let's not even get started on the property taxes here compared to other states.
Who is "they"? In the US it will mostly be individual businesses making whatever decisions make the most sense from a business perspective.
In the US. Other high-income nations have mostly solved the problem of affordable access to health care.
Even though you have Python experience I would check out Laravel (PHP).

I moved from Rails to Laravel in 2013.

The community and ecosystem are amazing.

I can go from zero to having a web app with auth + 2FA, user profile and dashboard in 10 minutes.

The package coverage is even better than Rails gems.

laracasts.com is a great place to get started.

forge.laravel.com makes spinning up servers and deploying super easy.

There is Laravel Valet that is a great local development server.

Laravel Livewire has been great to work with, similar to Turbo Rails, Phoenix Liveview. It eleminates the need of using js frameworks like vue, react.

I would recommend starting with this tutorial, using Livewire.

> Police earn more than teachers

Have you considered maybe teachers are poorly paid, rather than police are highly paid?

> Cops aren't even in the top 20 most dangerous job in America

Did I say they were? Did I say they should be paid based on danger? So why do you think this is relevant?

> national average: $67,600 .. median household income was $61,937

All your numbers say they earn roughly a basic middle income for their locations. That's not 'highly paid'.

> cops should be paid somewhere around what a security guard at a bank is paid

Why would anyone take the job of being the officer over being the security guard in that case? Why take on the additional duties and responsibilities, the being in hazardous environments like messy crime scenes, and why take on the intellectual work of detection?

I don't get why any member of society would argue for another memory of society to get less money for their job.

‘What we need is lower wages for the working class!’

Baffles me.
I think if people had to drink prison hooch or wait weeks to brew their own substandard beer, as opposed to drinking bottled craft beer or tasty wines there would be less alcohol consumption.
The result here is that the whale's motion looks frantic, whether it is or not. We can't even tell whether the whale is really interacting with the ships, or interacting with their wake, whether it is really avoiding, or giving chase.

A better solution would be to fast forward (faster) through the uninteresting parts and play the interesting parts close to real-time.
It could be due to inflammation

A legend was lost. I didn't know many of his songs but my wife and I love the Pina Coolatta song. One of the first 45s I purchased when we moved into our first home. RIP.
And 50 years from now, what will the story be about say Corona virus, or global warming? Why are we so sure that this time everything is on the up and up? For instance Big pharma stands to make billions of dollars on the back of Corona, so it's not like they're just our disinterested saviours.

Maybe everything is exactly as it is reported on the news and by the politicians. I mean, they have a great track record so we should probably trust them.

But how is everyone so damn sure? I look at the history of manipulation like outlined in this story and am now mostly unmoved by the demands that we "listen to the science" when used as a cudgel.
There’s also a growing body of research that indicates a comet impact is what triggered the end of the last ice age, which would very well have caused massive floods. Randall Carlson has a lot of fascinating theories in this area.
If you really want to hit your face on a desk, wait until you encounter a user who doesn't know how to tabulate or sum anything in Excel, and uses it as a big grid-based text editor, manually using a desk calculator to sum up columns, or perform various other formulas on some selection of cells.

also, prepare for the user to suffer some sort of existential crisis or breakdown, possible tantrum after you show them how to do these tasks automatically with a simple excel formula.
I'm increasingly of the opinion that Balaji deserves the NYT almost as much as the NYT deserves Balaji.
Never, not ever. I read it as ever myself, at first glance.
Looking at the author's other works, it's like a soft touch clickbait. I mean it's certainly there but it's an interesting balance, pretty tempered

You hear about this from authors all the time who get disappointed in what the publishers choose for the book title.

It's been like this for a while. Donald Normans "the design of everyday things" was initially "the psychology of everyday things" but psychology books don't sell well and apparently such errant superficialities matter. He's a respectable academic, shouldn't be subject to such stuff, but here we are nonetheless.

I wish I could say content works without marketing and a bit of formulaic sensationalism for the title but it really doesn't perform without it. It appears to be kind of a requirement.

I have one of his frames from the late 1980s with a translucent red paint job. I consider it a work of art. There are newer, faster, lighter bikes but I've never felt the need to replace it. The man does beautiful work.
I traded in an Audi TTS for my Tesla Model 3 Performance. The Model 3 has better range (300 miles vs. 200), faster charge time for my use case (I plug it in overnight and never have to visit a gas station), better performance, more storage capacity and a vastly superior media/navigation system. The Audi had a nicer steering wheel and slightly nicer seats. I loved my Audi but the Model 3 is better in almost every way. No contest.
I agree that those issues are easy enough to avoid.

I think OP is saying that WebAsm allows for using languages that don't have these footguns. Perhaps there is some language they prefer to JS.
> Two weeks after the Cotton controversy, the Times published an essay by Wesley Lowery, a Pulitzer Prize–winning black reporter, titled “A Reckoning over Objectivity, Led by Black Journalists.” Equating objectivity with “whiteness,” Lowery called for “moral clarity, which will require both editors and reporters to stop doing things like reflexively hiding behind euphemisms to obfuscate the truth.” The Trump administration and the Republican Party, Lowery urged, should be labeled as what they are: a “refuge to white supremacist rhetoric and policies.” In the post-Bennet moment of post-journalism, editors at the paper were inclined to agree.

Traditional liberals that think it’s just Republican ideas that will be denounced as pernicious “whiteness” are in for a rude surprise. I saw this quite starkly this summer. Liberal city dwellers in Chicago and Philadelphia discretely texting me pictures of cars on fire outside their neighborhoods, but being too afraid to say anything openly. It seems to have passed, but for a spell, near-universal beliefs about the necessity for order in a civil society became something many were too afraid to support for fear of being lumped together with Trump supporters.
If you’re using Chartio and looking to migrate, here are a few alternatives you can consider. These are mostly cloud-based tool that is SQL-native and sends your written SQL queries to your SQL data-warehouse.

1/ Redash: write SQL gets charts, similar to Chartio (although a bit less polished as it was developed by a small team). Open-source or Cloud-based. Downside is they recently get acquired by Databricks, so I’m not sure how that will affect their product roadmap. Support for Google Sheets as well.

2/ Superset: also write SQL gets charts. They’re both open-source (Apache Incubated), and being supported by a commercial company behind (Preset). Their visualization library looks pretty diverse too.

3/ Metabase: This is also based on SQL. The difference is that they put a simple modeling layer in between your DW and SQL, so that they provide a simple ‘ask question’ interface for business users to get data, it’s quite simple though so if business users want more sophisticated questions they’ll need to resort back to SQL. Their UI is pretty sleek. Both open source and cloud-based (pricing starts from $100) with a commercial company behind.

4/ Holistics: Similar to Metabase, where they provide a modeling layer and self-service capability to non-technical layer. Difference is their modeling layer seems more sophisticated than that of Metabase. They also support the T in ELT as part of modeling. Support for Google Sheets as well. Their UI looks well-polished. Cloud-based only, with pricing starting from $100. They’re also working on Git version-controlling your SQL/modeling code so that it’s easier to track change/audit, this might help prevent vendor lock-in and ease future migration.

5/ Mode: Write SQL gets charts (similar to Redash/Superset). They’re a lot more polished than Redash, with a focus towards doing Data Science (native Python/R support, Notebook, etc). Their Free plan supports up to 5 users, but beyond that you will need to talk to their sales people to get quoted pricing. I heard it can get over $1k/month based with additional user pricing on top.

6/ Looker: probably best in-class in term of SQL-based data modeling, but very expensive.

7/ There are also other tools which I don’t think fit in the SQL-native narrative, like AWS Quicksight, Google Data Studio, PowerBI, Tableau and Qlik.

P/s: These 2 posts give a fairly good framework on how to look/evaluate different BI tools. This is a pretty crowded space with many different paradigms baked in over many years, so it might be a bit confusing for new people looking into the field

If a service has something I want to watch, i sign up for it and immediately cancel it. My state has a law that any subscription that allows signups online has to allow cancellations online, so this is convenient.

Doesn't work well for sports, admittedly.
PowerShell also seems to borrow from Tcl, especially the parameter syntax (Tcl calls them options, *sh calls them arguments) and the script block construct (which is simply a curly-brace-quoted string in Tcl).

Why? There are many CCS DC chargers in the world and the number is growing month-by-month. It's true that some areas aren't built out yet, but many areas already are and new chargers are going in all the time.

Does anyone know what happened to the original ~200k images with CC0 licenses on Unsplash, and how they can be found?

For context: https://creativecommons.org/2017/06/22/unsplash/

"Following the switch to the new Unsplash-branded license, there is no marking of works that were previously shared in the public domain using CC0. The Unsplash API restricts/obscures the full CC0 collection, which we believe to be about 200,000 images, but it isn’t possible to access the complete archive. In order to ensure that the commons is maintained, we hope that Unsplash will either a) properly mark all the works shared using CC0 and/or b) make available a full archive of the CC0 works so they can be shared on a platform that supports open licensing and public domain tools. Previous platforms that have gone under or abandoned open license tools have shared their CC archives for this purpose. We hope Unsplash will follow the same path."
> From what I gather, Archegos had $10B of equity in total? Typically (sensibly) you don't put all your eggs in one basket as a fund, even a quite concentrated fund.

It was $20B. Hwang's whole schtick from the outset of his family office was to hyper lever up on high growth companies. By doing this he went from $1B to $20B of actual capital in about 2 years. Then he blew up spectacularly because he was levered up about 5x in a ridiculous concentration.

There's no royal road to excess returns, etc. He probably could have kept this going longer, but sooner or later one of his superholdings was going to have a market event sparking a loss (like VIAC) and even his volume wasn't going to be able to prop up the price anymore. Chain reaction from there.

This is a good cautionary tale: going around to a bunch of banks and getting crazy leverage Big Short style doesn't always end in a lionizing outcome. In fact it usually doesn't. What sucks is the leverage is going to be demonized here, when the actual problem is Hwang's lack of transparency (albeit legal) to his brokers and his frankly stupid risk management.

Plenty of funds safely chug along for years running at 3-4x leverage, they just have the good sense to keep beta < 1 and stay roughly market neutral in their long/short holdings...
You're cross polinating ideas right now! My company has been pushing yammer or some such garbage since it became available. There may finally be a use for it.
> if you study the topic at a bit more length that will go away

I have many years of experience both in teaching and in educational policy and technology across K-12 and higher ed. In this particular case, I don't think I need to study it more but thanks. :)

> There are not 'skills' that need to be imparted before 1st grade

Again, that's false. There are absolutely skills and knowledge related to reading and numbers, for instance, that are explicitly taught and practiced and which determine an expected baseline for entering first grade.

I don't know where you'd get the idea that there aren't concrete educational standards for kindergarten.
Those of you who think that remote-work-by-default would be a good thing, can I ask how your companies are handling career progression and collaboration, as well as mentorship of junior developers?

Listen to Adam Savage [1] talk about his early career as a prop-maker. I just don't see how that sort of deep collaboration is possible remotely. As a recent graduate whose first full-time job has been full remote due to the pandemic, I'm terrified that this is going to kill my career progression, not only upwards but also laterally. I just don't have the same opportunities to 1) learn from people or 2) bump into new people as I would if we're all forced to be in the same place.

The strange thing is its across the board. Stocks, all sectors, commodities, bitcoin, home prices, obviously treasuries. There's nowhere to put your money that's safe.

Even if you pull out completely, if we have inflation and a subsequent market crash, this will eat away your capital. Taking your chips off the table isn't an option.

Gold isn't really behaving normally as a large chunk of it is controlled by central banks around the world. If there were a flight to gold, regulators could also restrict access to gold as they did during the Great Depression through executive order [0]

TIPs (treasury inflation protected securities) is an option but that doesn't work if you think inflation numbers are not accurately reflecting cost of living. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but you have to consider that trillions of dollars are at stake in terms of social security alone, so there's an incentive to under-report inflation.

I'm just trying to understand what can be done.

To follow on to your YouTube analogy, does anyone know of a place where someone can make a playlist of podcast (or radio) excerpts? To me a one hour commitment to a podcast seems daunting, especially if it hasn't been well recommended. Is there a place where I can find 3-5 minute "best of" clips for given episodes, maybe arranging those together to form a playlist about a topic? Like "Today we have Bob Smith on the SoandSo show talking about Big Data, John Doe talking about something on the BlahBlah show, followed by..." and I could easily listen to the whole show if the excerpt sounded interesting.

Might be a stupid idea as I'm not a big podcast consumer.
