the Netherlands. Pretty easy if you cook, it's actually about a dollar. Check some of my latest comments for a breakdown of pricing.

Prices are from AH, one of the more expensive supermarkets here. [0] Chicken breast is $6.50 per kilo, no bones just the breast, or indeed ~$3 a pound. 100g serving is recommended here, but then that may be the difference between Europe and the US.

Ground beef is even cheaper. Of course these are the lower-end prices, you can pay $20 for a kilo, too. But for the cheaper prices the meat is still excellent as AH is one of the most expensive supermarkets.

The cheaper supermarkets here, which are still decent quality overall, get you a 10-20% discount. The cheaper shops have small discounts (5-10%) on things like meat or salmon as we don't see a lot of branding premiums here on meats. And bigger discounts (15-20%) on things like ketchup or cola, where if you buy a no-name brand that tastes just fine you pay a third less.

Wouldn't have thought the US had more expensive meats. When I was last stateside I remember paying a pittance at the golden coral and leaving with the feeling I just ate 5 cows for the price of a cinema ticket! How they remained profitable boggled my mind at the time, even with cheap & absolute garbage ingredients I must have cost them some that day :P

Eggs are as cheap as 15c and as expensive as 40c an egg. So a dozen can be less than $2.

Two things must be mentioned... one is that it's not a purchasing power parity comparison. I'd say average wages are a little lower in the Netherlands than in the US (although I think the median family is a lot better off here), meaning there's a bit less to spend here, putting cheaper prices here on some foods in perspective.

And the Euro is abnormally weak right now which is likely a temporary thing. Normally the Euro is about 30% stronger, so any price conversion I do now would normally be 30% higher.

Though the pizza shop owner isn't that unique or in large scale to help a lot of people, so the impact is far more limited. Who cares whether someone can semantically be called "entrepreneur", etc.

If they didn't do their pizza shop, no one would notice, but if we didn't have high growth startups, I think we'd feel that impact far far more.

This is not to imply that high growth = high impact, because there's of course a ton of rent-seeking bullshit out there to be condemned.

> TCO is higher for diesel due to increased maintenance costs

Diesel engines are mechanically much simpler than gasoline engines - they have fewer moving parts, so fewer places where things can break, and less complex repairs when things do break. This would suggest a lower TCO for diesels, all else the same.
Really I wish Dart VM were, like the JVM, made to be a platform to be built upon instead of a VM for a single language.

But in the meantime I'd prefer Dart to JS.
Hi! I'm delighted to see you'll be using Long Bets: http://longbets.org/

As the programmer behind that, I'm glad to introduce you to the folks at the Long Now that can expedite that.
I can't shake the feeling that this is a micro-optimization at the expense of making the larger problems worse by taking even more housing off the market.
I'm confused by your comment. Are you saying that browsers should connect to any host any website tells them to because of net neutrality?
I agree with you there about the difficulty of finding the line between manipulative ads and non-manipulative (or less manipulative) communication in general. It's not like we're all pure spherically-modeled creatures of pure thought and reason who can derive the optimal things to do and buy from first principles.

I think one issue with many ads is the matter of power disparity. Those who are more trained in marketing and advertising skills know how to present material in a way that is pleasing to an audience. The average person doesn't have this knowledge or a good sense of all the techniques that are being used on them -- or even if they do they are still susceptible. This means that it's far easier for "attackers" to "attack" than for "defenders" to "defend" (using the words here with an acknowledgment that not all "attacks" are a bad thing; a lot is simply communication). With further advances in data mining and with large amounts of funds being put into advertising, those who are advertising are becoming more adept at knowing what mental buttons to press to get the desired response, while the general populace is not getting better at withstanding it.

It's also a question of scale, and being paid to advertise. For example, I enjoy traditional wet shaving, and there are a few blogs I follow that have reviews of shaving creams, DE razors, etc. I have learned to trust these reviews and while they act as ads for these products (they do manipulate me into being more likely to buy those products) I trust that these reviews are more "genuine" and reliable. When there are more sponsored reviews or payments from third-party ad companies, then the appearance of endorsement (and trusted recommendation) is there but without the same fine control by the content provider. Maybe it's a utopian naive vision, but "I recommend this product because I've used it and like it" seems different in substance from "I recommend this product because the makers of the product have paid me to say that I recommend it."
You could solo mine for a long time without finding a block. The math is fairly straightforward: your probability of winning each block is (your hashrate)/(total hashrate). Let's say you have one S19 Pro; that means you have roughly a 1 in 1.6 million chance of winning each block. There are only ~53,000 Bitcoin blocks per year so your chance of getting a block is basically zero.

In theory p2pool is trustless so you don't have to worry about sketchy operators but I don't know if anyone has used it in years.

Slush is the only old-school Bitcoin pool that still seems to be decent sized.

Being used by criminals doesn't mean anything; they want reliable and honest pools just as much as you do.
>Alex Hanna, the Google ethicist who criticized the Neurips speech-to-face paper, told me, over the phone, that she had four objections to the project. First, ...Second, ....Third, ....Finally, the system could be used for surveillance.

I'm curious about this. As I understand it, an ethicist is objecting to the publication of software that could be used for surveillance. If that is correct, does it follow that this ethicist would object to all software that could be used for surveillance? If so:

1. How does one distinguish between software that can be used for surveillance and software that cannot?

2. Presumably the ethicist would object to the dissemination of software that can be used for surveillance whether published openly or sold. If so, would they not object to the sale of iPhones, as iPhones contain software that can record video, and therefore surveil people?

It seems like whenever morality or ethics come into play, the slippery slopes start popping up like weeds.
Fascism is necessarily bad but Marxism is at least plausibly deniable
Many of the level-headed people I've been listening to through this have been emphasizing adult sacrifices for the sake of as much normality for our children as possible. They're right, I think.
The chances of randomly walking into any SF restaurant and paying $17 for a salad is very slim. If you’re worried about prices, take the two minutes to check a menu online first.
98% of that is boilerplate language for any product you use.

The uppercase is legalese to wiggle out of responsibility.
I don't see how the current MacOS is any different from Linux there. For end-user applications you can have the user download an app bundle (equivalent to AppImage) or get it off the app store (equivalent to flatpak/snap). For random open source libraries and utilities, you still would want to use Brew or Macports, which are package managers.
Does this get you started? Population-adjusted new housing starts for both Boise and San Francisco MSAs since 2000.

That's sorta just how private property works. At some point, land was unowned, structures were unbuilt, etc. Ever since then, we've put the "rights" in the hands of the current owners and/or the government they live under...

Short of arguing from a purely socialist or communist approach, saying the current owner's preferences matter less than the hypothetical would-be future occupants of the area is the non-sensical part, I think.
Since median industry practice lags behind latest research by decades, OWASP guidance is far ahead of the demonstrated maturity level of the vast majority of companies and is a good target for them.

You are not the target audience, it is the huge number of companies with near-disastrous neglect of basic security measures that are kind of well known but not universally applied, as illustrated by all the statistics on actual attacks and vulnerabilities which are dominated by old, "solved" problems that don't need any latest research.
An obvious answer is go to the US and sue for divorce, and return to Pakistan?
Depends how it's setup. I remember reading something one time about how you can set it up where each individual build step is cached which would cut down on a lot of build time. So for instance, in this case it would only remind the sidebar.
I’ve been using DDG on all my devices for work and for personal use for almost a year now. I’ve searched for error messages songs and tons of other stuff. Initially I was having trouble getting results. There seemed to be a whole skill to writing good search queries that had atrophied in me during the Google era. I’ve had to pay more attention to quotes and change queries sometimes but it’s never been impossible to find the information i’m looking for. And it’s nice to be free of the all-seeing eye of Google. DDG may not give perfect results initially but it’s good enough for me.
I’m actually curious about your practice of interviewing several times a year in spite of(I hope) being happy with your current role.
Interviewing is incredibly disrupting for both sides, as an interviewee you have to take a day off more often than not and the other side has to invest time of several highly paid individuals to interview you.
What do you say when asked why are you interviewing?
And are you interviewing at companies where you are prepared to take a job regardless of your current obligations at your present company(let’s say you are in the midst of building a critical application)

I’m genuinely curious
I think you all are missing the point of happy hour. It’s typically a place where people talk about things that are inappropriate for work. The coworker that sucks, the boss that’s bad the project that everyone knows is doomed. Maybe you talk though a difficult problem and admit some level of failure but all of these are inappropriate for gaming hour.
Fun fact... This is how search engines started. One of the first steps in early SEO was to get your site listed on a manually curated web directory. VLIB, the first web directory, still operates at http://vlib.org/.

List of Web Directories, Wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_directories
Am I alone in that I don't speak of using a search engine as strictly binary behavior? Sure, I have long avoided using Google for the bulk of my search queries. I use Bing, DuckDuckGo, and others at times. But I still use Google for some queries, especially when I want information from the past 24 hours (limiting the search to updates from today), since it seems Google's indexers run more frequently.

So when people say they wholly moved from search engine A to B, I am suspicious. And when the counter-argument is, "but the problem is A is better than B on query X," I think, "of course, and you might keep using A for X, while using B for other things."

This isn't (yet?) your operating system or where you live. It's just a web site you are selecting in the moment to provide a service. You can use a different web site for much the same service the very next moment.

I personally just have bookmarks set up so that "b [query]" is a bing search, "d [query]" is a DDG search, and "g [query]" is a Google search. Further, "m [query]" searches MDN, "s [query]" searches SO, etc.
Agreed. Quite frankly the new title doesn't help people understand why it's newsworthy.
We have to invent it. It's probably based on blockchain highly unprobably anonymous because we are real person, with identity and part of a real world society. It has to be uncorruptible and to give ability to express opinions in a trustful and peaceful way. Some intents are on the way. Most of them labeled as 'participative democracy'. It's a very complicated tool as it has to radically change our way to interact together on the internet, without the hate, the anger, the impatience. It's a tool which make us express the most beautiful and wise part of each of us.
This is tough for anyone to answer without seeing what your resume looks like. It’s possible to have amazing experience but present it poorly.
I think Steve Yegge (in another post) said it surprisingly well, and simply. Paraphrasing:

If you have more data than text, use JSON. If you have more text than data, use XML/HTML.

Imagine HTML documents encoded in JSON -- in that case JSON would be ugly and annoying to edit. Now imagine (the more common situation of) structured data serialized as XML. That is ugly and annoying to edit.

Use the right tool for the right job. :)
Does Kayak have any plans to integrate Southwest and other low cost carriers into their results. There are tools like Skyscanner in Europe that aggregate low cost carriers the way Kayak does for airline websites.
Really TechCrunch? You are surprised by this?
A/B testing, that's a good way to think about it, thanks.

Here's another rule of thumb: try to quit at a reasonable milestone. Did you accomplish something you can put on your resume? Write down what you learned. Are there any open questions that you could answer with just a few hours or days of effort? Do you have a story you can tell friends over dinner? All these are milestones of various magnitudes that you can feel good about to various extents.

But yeah, in general there's no perfect test.

>There's no way in hell I would think it's good to put a third party between my site and my users when that party can go down or change the only identifier I have.

Like... email addresses? Or do you not think it's good to provide a "forgot password" link which emails a reset mechanism?

Any other means of re-gaining access, like "secret questions", work for both lost email accounts and OpenID, and any site which asks for an email address to mail "forgot"-like requests to has all the capabilities of any system which has an email address.

So your complaint is that OpenID providers aren't mature enough to be reliable enough to last long enough to be worthwhile. Providers like Google, Verisign, Yahoo, and many others of the internet / security / email giants.

If they've made stupid decisions in the past, that's an entirely different problem. Email providers can and do and have made plenty of stupid decisions - one of mine only allows login via plain-text username and password over POP. Two of my older ones went belly-up. One got purchased, and transitioned everyone over to a new domain name as they phased out the old one. How is this different?
Forgive my delay, glad things are looking up. Best to you.
Armando, thanks! It was so great to work with you as well. It'll take me all year to release your designs. Let me know if you ever have availability again. I would recommend you in an instant!
Ah, but at least Microsoft has the option of requiring keys to use their products.

To watch a full-length video all you have to do is go to www.blahblahtube.com and click a thumbnail.

Also, Microsoft is making quite a bit of money off of corporate users... porn sites don't really have a place in a Fortune 500 board room.
we have pretty much a fixed salary for each level. If someone wants more salary, then we sometimes will give them the next level (or just say no). If they arent at that level, then they need to very quickly get the skills to be executing at the level.
These clones demonstrate why Dropbox is such a good idea imo. Good ideas are ones that make people think "that's easy, I could do that in a weekend!" Dropbox is great because it isn't just a really good idea, it's also a fantastic implementation.
Usually this is related to Configuration Profiles installed on device. Go to Settings > General > Profiles to delete them. No need to delete Provisioning Profiles.
Excellent, I'm always looking out for new techniques & tools. I've always wondered if cooking in non-conductive would make a difference, your response validates. Thanks adrian
"CL happily compiles it, and if bar is never defined, a runtime error will occur. ... You try to import other-package and, BAM!, another error - conflict, other-package:bar conflicts with read-in-package:bar. Then you go learn about uninterning.

fwiw, you get a warning at compile time regarding the undefined symbol. And in the AllegroCL IDE, for example, uninterning is just a matter of hitting [Return] when you get the error message (dialog). I believe uninterning the conflicting symbol is a common restart in other implementations as well.
There's a Firefox extension that does that for websites.

I just had a look at the legislation. It wisely includes that the noise has to sound similar to the engine noise produced by a similarly sized combustion vehicle. I was wondering if we would start to see the equivalent of ringtones for cars (though with some people's ice setups that already sort of exists).

Thanks. I think comparing Riot with React is most important initially. And there is no Riot 2.0 TodoMVC example available yet.

I also think that Riot performance can be further optimized.

Slowly getting there...
Biggest drawback is that none of the commercial clients will implement support for it, that's what killed it for me (SecureCRT developer VanDyk told my company NOPE!) due to license issues :(
They're listed under "Science" on the careers website, which isn't obvious — we have nothing to do with the 'business' IT of HR and finance systems.

Three positions are primarily software development jobs — there's no requirement for any knowledge of botany etc, but we want to make good, stable software. The first is a junior position, a recent graduate is fine.

1. Biodiversity Informatician: https://careers.kew.org/vacancy/biodiversity-informatician-2...

2. Senior Biodiversity Informatician: https://careers.kew.org/vacancy/senior-biodiversity-informat...

3. Lead Developer — Drupal: https://careers.kew.org/vacancy/lead-developer-drupal-208862...

The fourth is a new kind of role in the biodiversity informatics / development team, since it's focussed on research. I think that means the software is allowed to be a kludged together bundle of scripts so long as it's novel and can have papers written about it. (We all do this kind of thing sometimes, but have usually either set it aside, or turned it into a production system. It's been rare to write a paper about it.)

You can talk about whatever you want. When I kicked off the thread, it was to point out how the structure of sports in our society puts women in a ghetto, in ways that e.g. the admittedly imperfect tech industry doesn't even approach, and yet sports get a complete pass on this. Even many outspoken feminists settle for Title-IX-style resource-grubbing rather than challenging the basic structure of the ghetto.

Any argument you might make defending the sports status quo would have applied to any sexist cultural institution ever. Case in point: every single sentence in the comment to which this is a response.
I'm a programmer, at work and in my free time, and I reasonably enjoy things I work on. Still, if I had enough money, I would quit practically whichever job there exists on this planet and go work on my own projects (possibly except if I was working for SpaceX or CERN). I would work on open source projects that strive to create a better world, such as Rust, I would study and work on creating AI or at least "smart" systems that could enable humanity to live better by automating agriculture, waste management, electricity generation, ... Unfortunately, any of these things is a multi-year, high-stakes project that I'm in no position to undertake given my current net worth, hence I'm a wage-worker.
Not fresh is an understatement in many parts of the world. In the U.K., it’s up to 60 days - and in the U.S., it’s common for eggs in grocery stores to have been laid 6 months previously.
Thanks a lot for the explanation! I see what you're saying. It raises some follow-up questions for me, if you don't mind:

Why can't the W-'s kinetic energy be smaller than whatever the neutron would lose by converting to a proton? There's no quantization preventing that here, right? My guess here is that it would not have (for the lack of a better term) sufficient "escape velocity", meaning that it would fall back into the neutron again, but wouldn't that imply (a) this is more like a dynamic equilibrium than a static one, where neutrons turn into protons and back into neutrons repeatedly, and (b) quantum uncertainty (Heisenberg, tunneling, etc.) should still mean that bound neutrons should still decay once in a while, and perhaps (c) a neutron next to a proton might randomly "swap" places once in a while if a W- from one gets pulled into the other one? (And if any of these is the case, then where do they draw the line to declare that a bound neutron is "stable"?)
I'm curious about the first picture in the article, with the "color berry". Was this a way to sidestep the law forbidding margarine looking like butter?

Margarine has always been confusing to me, growing up in a boring middle-class household. Child me couldn't figure out why we were eating this vile tasting stuff, calling it butter, when we could perfectly afford real butter. I'm sure it was "health" reasons that originally sparked it for my parents, and old habits die hard. My mom still insist on cooking with margarine, some 20 years later.
Ah, so actually during the seed it's an auction. When you place your "commitment" to the round, you set a max valuation you'll participate at. Then, when the seed round is over, the price paid is actually the highest "clearing" price, and the company sells 500K to 2M shares.
Without weighing in on the merits, it's not uncommon for companies to preemptively adopt self-regulation in an effort to keep legally compelled regulation at bay.
I live in Indiana, a very conservation state, but in a very liberal city (Bloomington). This law is very divisive and makes me feel like I'm living in the 50s and 60s and getting to see how blacks were treated.
Not to mention, empowering moderate and scientifically minded Gazans is probably one of the more productive things one could do to contribute to eventual resolution of the conflict.
