I've contacted several prospective customers and have a few positive responses, that there is potential market for my service. I'm not sure if I can learn any more from people without actually having a (paying) MVP to work with. I'd imagine that at some point, especially when there are two tiers of users (chefs and customers), that the only real definitive experiment is to create something worth trying out. Obviously at first I can just work with a teaser/concept page and see if enough sign up.

Since I'm aiming for a broad market (any food establishment who wants to offer prepared meal services), finding an approach to get a rush of traffic (via PR, bloggers, buzz, etc) seems to make the most sense. Having analytics seems to make sense at that point. I don't think asking theoretical questions to restaurants will get me anything more. I'm imagining that once I reach a point in the size of the list that I would then work on the MVP.
What is the problem with saying that cultures with differing levels of technological and social complexity present different sets of cognitive challenges to their members? If the word "primitive" bothers you, substitute "lower levels of technological complexity" to get the same endpoint.
In earlier days of remember I think I do remember this happening. Once the price got to a certain point (~980?) it very quickly would get up to 1000, and then hover there for a while. Part of this is because people will put sell requests at that round number.

Top theory was that the world's most infamous Ponzi scheme architect is heavily promoting a BTC-based pyramid scheme based around "community" and "sharing" in multiple new markets, including China.
Other theories include market manipulation by the Winkelvosses, and mainstream coverage of non-BTC "blockchain tech" being used by major financial institutions.

All of these effects may be pretty minor, but once BTC starts to surge it doesn't take much to get the speculators going
I went back to Fedora from Arch on desktop because Arch is tough to install. I have servers/workstations running Arch, CentoS and actually notice a lot of times the Fedora packages are often updated faster than Arch packages now. Also CentOS/Fedora give you selinux whereas Arch does not have that. (I'm not trying to rag on Arch at all, just stating my recent experience.) My servers running Arch I plan to migrate to CentOS 7 for selinux and more enterprisey updates. Also I need to use ZFS with some servers in the future and I believe there is a fairly easy way to do that with CentOS. Actually it looks like this is easy to do with Arch, too. The arch wiki is amazing.

Actually I bootstrapped all of my init systems with OpenRC; it has tools for dependency calculation and all runscript based init scripts can be run with -D so that you can handle dependencies rather than it; I gradually replaced the existing init scripts with something a bit more amenable to the non-reparenting style I prefer, but it's very useful for getting started.

How Zynga's CEO is preparing for a comeback
Yeah, everyone is telling me to rely on personal/professional network. The problem is that most of them are fellow "enterprise" type programmers without any actual work to give (ie. not hiring managers). Also.. the big issue I have now is finding evening and weekend/part-time jobs. It seems pretty easy to find a decent contract at a company if I transition, to say, full-time for 6 months or whatever they offer.

When you say you were top X% , was that in a specific tech stack or niche industry? I'm really good at certain tech stacks (JavaScript world - Node+React+AWS, or Java/Scala world - Spring, Play, etc..). How do you actually find work that will help you "level" up, per se. And more importantly, show others that you're an expert in the field? I can do _awesome_ work for some people but it might not be broadcasted to the rest of the world if it's just known internally.

> Many times in the past bitcoin companies have been hacked, embezzled or otherwise lost user funds. There is no recourse.

Many times, other companies have had that happen, and there is all kinds of recourse. To the extent bitcoin companies are special, its because people participating in the bitcoin craze have been willing to entrust large amounts of value with companies that don't have the basic characteristics that would otherwise establish trustworthiness, or at least accountability.

Things like T4MVC and Typelite combined with Entity Framework give me compile time impacts of impacts anywhere in my stack from the DB downwards.

It's a tricky thing, an abortion-level tricky thing actually. At the top of life's process you have humans, and human death is obviously Bad. At the bottom of life you have simple chemical reactions, which are obviously Quite Cool. The line will have to be drawn somewhere in between, but we need to figure out where.

Personally, I expect it to be somewhere above plants and bugs and below kittens. But then, I'm a bit biased about bugs - I tend to think about them as either "those ugly annoying things" or "cool high-tech drones we'll hopefully program one day". And I'm definitely biased about kittens.

This is also another disturbing trend I'm witnessing in my generation. Sure, ok, you're not happy with some of the stuff that happened. DO something about it.
Even this seems unlikely... while it would be great if we could learn to conduct better experiments or learn to recognize the flaws of bad experiments earlier, what's missing are instruments precise enough to determine the exact cause of the results here.

> "So in essence the government seizes all property and rents it back to us? Geez, man. Even medieval serfs could own property on better terms than that."

The ownership wouldn't transmit back to the government, it'd be converted into public property but with the option to renew ownership. Public property is not the same as government owned.

The idea is to get rid of accumulation of wealth beyond a single generation, i.e. in general you only own what you earned in your own lifetime (plus some extra from the generation that preceded you).
The designs I have seen dissolve the spent nuclear fuel in phosphoric acid and then operate with liquid fuel. ( Perhaps there are proposals that do not operate like that, but I think you want to homogenize the fuel as much as possible which means some kind of liquid fuel.)

You misunderstand his point. The MMM ponzi schemers presumably don't want to hold bitcoins forever, and would be selling them for local currencies; if each bitcoin bought by a MMM victim is being immediately sold by a MMM con artist, then the net effect is zero and the effect on the price is much less than however much is being laundered and the price is boosted only by the float (however much bitcoins are being held at any particular second by a victim/con artist until they can send it or sell it and complete the circle).

Judge Rebukes Harvard for Placing Critic Under Guard While Wife Was in Surgery

More on the Harvard/Brigham & Women's power morcellation debacle: http://www.cancerletter.com/articles/20151103

Harvard subjects former physician employees to a physical search for security threats when they return for urgent cancer surgery—because of their public criticism of Brigham & Women's Hospital leadership in the controversy over power morcellation, a surgical procedure routinely used by gynecologists. The couple sought a restraining order against the hospital for retaliatory action. A Boston judge ruled in their favor, finding that the hospital had violated the couple's First Amendment rights by discriminating without reasonable justification.

“I am completely outraged. This is nothing other than pure, unadulterated harassment,” said Richard Kaitz, a Boston real estate lawyer whose wife, Erica, died in December 2013 from leiomyosarcoma upstaged by power morcellation at Brigham. “Hooman worked at Brigham for almost a year after Amy’s morcellation. They know Hooman; they know he’s not a threat. He’s the furthest thing from a physical threat to walk this earth!

“I’m absolutely and completely appalled. To do this to a guy when his family is down and undergoing serious medical issues requiring lifesaving treatment at Brigham—it is the height of arrogance, aggression, and bullying.”

I wonder if that is really true or:

1) The reseller doesn't know how it runs over Azure (I had this with vendors sticking to in-house Sharepoint vs Sharepoint online mostly from a "we don't know how" angle we found out)

or

2) Does the reseller also make money from in-house vs on Azure? Like, their hardware? Anything like that? Just curious.

I mean, he could also honestly think that Azure isn't there yet either. I could just be curmudgeonly and doubting the reseller.
"Folks who are honest about not having a simple solution makes a much more intelligent impression on me."

This works because problems with simple solution don't stay problems for long.

Problem: I'm dehydrated.

Solution: I drink (potable) water.

Problem solved.

(Don't get distracted by all the other potential bad solutions, we're just talking about how this specific simple solution does work.)

If it's a pervasive problem that has plagued humanity since the dawn of civilization, then simple solutions probably won't work, no. I'll cop that I lean libertarian but ultimately the very popular "let's just free market at it" and "let's just government at it" are equally stupid solutions to any hard problem.
Accusing people of vote manipulation probably violates the guidelines. If you actually think someone is manipulating the votes (eg with dual accounts) you should email the mods and let them know. They seem receptive to that kind of thing.

In this case it seems unlikely that you've been downvoted by one person with two accounts. Downvotes are sometimes accidental; and incorrect or unfair downvotes are often corrected. But accusing people of bad faith downvotes is a sure way to attract more downvotes.

I'm intentionally making it null to see how the new backtraces work.

I'd like to get at least the stack trace and the error number with the line of the source code that caused the problem, like in golang:

}

func (g Greetings) hello() {

}

func main() {
g := &Greetings{} // heap instance
g = nil // intentionally shooting myself in the foot like I did in D
g.hello()
}

National Idiocracy
I would put it more strongly: The statistic is arbitrary because there is no method according to which the bins are chosen.

Sure we can still glean some information from it. But the "most common job" is simply the largest bin for which nobody found it necessary to subdivide it further.

What if we lumped "customer-facing jobs in brick and mortar stores" together. Cashier, waiter, retail salesperson etc. etc. Suddenly that might be largest bin.

What if we subdivided urban truck (small truck?), medium, long haul? And split off agricultural use (tractor) too. Maybe it suddenly won't be largest bin anymore. For the purpose of the automated driving discussion urban settings are probably going to be automated much later due to the difficulty of navigating pedestrian zones and things like that.
Another way to look at it would be that the difference opens opportunities to improve the self-taught path.
