>Also, 3.5% in mortgage interest? That's ridiculously high. Where I'm from you can easily get a mortgage with a variable interest of 1.46%.

I'm not sure where this even came from but: 3.5% isn't "high", historically. And that fact that you can get a variable rate of 1.46% during a period of globally historically low interest rates has little relevance to the 20-30 years it will take to pay down your mortgage.

In fact, buying a more expensive house because you can get a super-low rate now, without accounting for future rates, is a classic blunder.
To expound on the second approach listed, what I've seen is not just a service discovery layer, but client libraries (as opposed to sidecar) that connect to your service discovery (e.g., Netflix Ribbon which is EOL).

Curious what people think of a sidecar approach versus the client library approach? Any preference?

Just the opposite. If you figure out the number of lines of code is constant, like the alleged manager, you can start taking it as a constraint and optimizing for other things.
What Elon said made perfect sense to me. They have an internal date of July 1 for both external and internal suppliers to meet. But statistically, given there are thousands of parts, they know it's very unlikely that even with the highest committment, everyone will be ready on time. That's all factored in. So as he said, it will then take some number of months to get those last stragglers sorted out before production can actually start. What would you suggest? Maybe he should just not have mentioned the earlier internal target date, if people are going to be that confused by it.

EDIT: as for other manufacturers, I have no idea, but the question is more whether they talk about their internal target dates at all. Elon never said that production actually would start on July 1 (but more like "before end of 2017"), so calling this a "delay" is just wrong.
Or it could end up like the music store. I've never heard anyone complain about it being hard to get music published. The same could be said about books or movies.

There are no passenger laws in Germany (not in that sense, at least). Beginning drivers would probably be drivers who are still in their probationary period (until they're 21 or have their driver's license for at least two years, whichever comes later). I am in that period, although probably more than a decade older than most such drivers, and have no restrictions as to what passengers I can take. The main point of deterrent during that period is when you break the law, you have to attend a seminar and the period lengthens by another two years. Do that twice, and you lose your license for at least three months.

An accident as this is likely the cause of driving too fast for the conditions, so that'd probably require attending such a seminar.

The reason why people are fat is because they eat more carbs, fat and sugar, not because they eat a particular thing. They also sit a lot, and lie around. Something that can affect your weight and life significantly.

On the other hand, my first car when I started driving was a 0.7L, 2 cylinder, 36BHP Fiat Cinquecento. That 0-60 time was probably around 2 minutes, downhill. But thinking about it now - it's a horrible car for a young driver. It had no power steering, no power brakes, no ABS, I got into several slides in winter because the wheels would just lock when breaking, no air bags, it was so underpowered that it had difficulty starting moving uphill, which led to more than one dangerous situation on the road. In contrast, modern cars have more power, sure. But they also avoid collisions automatically, they have 15+ airbags around you, they have parking sensors, dead zone sensors, traction control, hill assist and other features that make it safer and easier to drive. If I have children one day they are definitely going to drive something modern, no matter what the time to 60 is.
You are correct - there is no push from anyone significant on this - this is one of the few things I think the Government should intervene in, heavily incentivised a work from home culture to the point where we can get rid of central business districts (in their current form) in every major city.

Other than very long term costs savings (and nobody thinks really long term), there's no money to be made from a big cultural shift that makes workers lives better.
This article shows a gross ignorance of the reality. Academic sciences especially are woefully under funded and anyone coming out now with a PhD has no position to go into especially if you are half decent. Accepting to only teach in a crap university and struggle to have a research career is not a choice for competent people. Instead they leave once they fully understand the insermountable task of obtaining a decent life in the academic world is. Worse is the younger 40-45 yol academics think people now face the same world they did. Whereas there has been a 10x increase in PhD graduates since they went looking for a position. The number of available jobs has not dramatically increased at all. This and the stochastic nature of funding of grant proposals means no one chooses to remain in academia. Apart from the top 1% or the no hopers who think being a stooge for the next 40 years is admirable and they should take one for the team to pursue "science". The reality is research jobs outside of academia are obviously booming with this sudden availability of talented and highly educated work force.

Top cities - in the EU? Like, which ones? Currently i am in Vilnius which has quite a low cost of living. I don't think i want to go to say Paris for $200K pre-tax. I will be clearly worse off there. Also once i get passport (i am a Russian immigrant), i plan to move to Asia where cost of living is lower yet - unless by that time i get enough to stop worrying about money.

New markets - some new way of selling my programming services which don't share the 'race to the bottom' style of Upwork bidding.

I kind of assume that if i am one of the just a few top people on Upwork there must be a way to get several times as much if i am on a market where average skills are comparable to mine.
Of course, people this fat are 0.00001% of the population, so I'm not sure it's the best example.

Referring to "scientists" that way is unfair.

Nutrition scientists and doctors are working with the human body and its surrounding environment, an exceedingly complex model. They publish their findings in journals with cautions and caveats and data.

A mainstream journalist with traffic quotas or column inches to fill on a slow news day then skims these journals for the next "X makes you fat" or "Y gives you cancer" headline without bothering to read the fine print.
The Register's headlines are specifically constructed to emulate the scaretype headlines of British newspapers like The Daily Mail.

Think of it as their kind of snark. After all it is a site that has "biting the hand that feeds IT" as their subtitle.

I've got friends who are doing PhDs in computer science(in UK) and they both had to do a Masters course first - but they have funding for the whole duration, including the masters course.

More like "nagged" than "pushed". The responsibilities of a salesman vs. doctor are clearly delineated. The salesman sells. The doctor must not outsource his decision making to the salesman.

What people underappreciate is that salespeople provide a vital role. Their job is to aid buyers in choosing what to do with their money. If doctors were susceptible to fraud of other underhanded sales tactics, that'd be alarming — they're the smart ones, are they not? But it's not that. They're not being duped. They succumb to corruption, or actively seek it.
Marco seems upset because Apple, to whom he owes his livelihood, is about to ruin his business. I think he has a much bigger problem than the podcast producers, who might finally get a larger platform and more attention, especially if Apple thinks they can turn podcasts into a competitive weapon in the streaming wars.

Sorry Marco, you chose the wrong centralized OS platform for your vision of a decentralized podcast future.
I'd be more concerned about them catching fire and spurting fire at me while I lay there stuck.
they should be shamed for it

People don't improve without help or guidance. That goes for all of us, in many aspects of life. To shame people who suffer is to ostracize them, and this will not solve the problem, it will exacerbate it.

If you really want to shame people, then shame the politicians and industry executives that are peddling unhealthy foods and eating habits. Maybe when we've leveled the playing field enough so that healthy food is cheaper and more readily available than unhealthy foods, then you can start shaming obese people like you're shaming smokers now.

You are shaming smokers as fervent as you wrote your post, right?

> We’ve seen how that goes. Trust me, podcasters, you don’t want that.

is a tossed off line referring to the travails of Marco and other developers who publicly complain about the app store. In particular:

Apple's 30% cut is probably the least significant but definitely not an insignificant concern.

More important would be the way Apple handles its role as a curator of content. The App Store doesn't sell every app which is submitted. Apps can be rejected for quality or for content. Should a podcast be rejected because it is a low fi unedited recording of two guys hanging out and talking into shitty microphones? Or because it contains adult content?

Perhaps most importantly is the App Store's notoriously bad relationship with developers. What qualifies as appropriate "content" and "quality" is not always clear, and Apple doesn't strictly follow its own guidelines. If your app is rejected it is basically impossible to appeal and often unclear how it needs to be changed to be accepted.
If i trust Numbeo.com, i'll need $530K pre-tax to have same consumption in Zurich as i now do in Vilnius... So... not even the slightiest chance.

I don't think any full-time job opportunity which is not a lottery (early employee at a startup) can be that thing. I need something remote.
You're absolutely right - the only way to change behavior is to have governments aggressively manipulate the culture, possibly through public education (if any is left) in addition to using their police forces to make that behavior more uncomfortable and expensive for the people who engage in it through censorship, aggressive street-policing, border inspections, and tactical raids.
That's an extremely low bar you set for scientists to exceed. I agree that mainstream nutrition science has a better track record than the Daily Mail.
I'm not sure where the line is between malnutrition and starvation, but the UN says "some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life." [1]

Your article [2] quotes, "while Asians, like the Chinese, had four servings a day of cooked rice, Americans and Australians ate just five a week". The fault for a change in advice is shared between scientists and the media for giving advice based on a western diet to people eating an eastern diet. I think this is a problem in general with English-language media. I see people sharing advice about high-fructose corn syrup, but in the UK it's ① legally called "glucose-fructose syrup", and ② rarely used, and thus irrelevant to most people I know. Similarly for hormones and antibiotics in beef, or added salt in some foods.

Given that it's legal and the two biggest national companies have entirely ceded the market, it could be an attractive place for a competitor to get a start.

The point is that stuff like crisps is way cheaper than it should be, making it an option for poor people when stretching their budget.

>That's all factored in

You seem to be confused about what "factored in" means:

>it will then take some number of months

How many months? That's "factoring it in". "Some months" provides zero information.

>so calling this a "delay" is just wrong.

Of course there's no delay yet, it's all just talk. I think it's people planning for the inevitable delay, based on historical manufacturing results and this nebulous fudge factor.

The big news is the call of 500k cars by 2018 (100k-200k in 2017). If they can pull that off it's insane.

>their internal target dates at all

Again, who cares about some random internal date that may be off by some unknown number of months? What information do we glean from it? It's nigh useless.

And other manufacturers are far more transparent about their actual financial and production information.
Let's put it this way: the IT guys set it to be fit for the purpose outlined by the boss. And it was a success.

I'm not referring to the journalists, I'm referring to the peer reviewed papers, and the scientific consensus regarding proper diet, that turned out to be not only false, but false in a way that likely could have been demonstrated with just a few, fairly straightforward research studies.

It starts, of course, with Dr. Ancel keys, but he wasn't the only person who signed off on the consensus that a high-carbohydrate diet was the right model for the American people.

I use the scare quotes, because what took place after that, was probably the furthest thing from science you could imagine - presuming we agree that the objective of science isn't to pile on the latest theory, but instead to strengthen those theories, by trying to disprove them.

^ (Not looking for an argument though, just saying.)
Are you arguing that a complete, healthy evening meal should cost less in Tesco than a packet of crisps? That's not sensible or helpful, or even the underlying problem.

And anyway wouldn't something like bulk rice or porridge be cheaper?
> And wouldn't noodlesoup be even cheaper, and healtier too?

That would depend on if the crisps were fried in transfats. Otherwise they both end up as a ball of diabetes-causing carb covered in salt.
> It just caters to the demands of novelty-seeking users

Not even sure if users or just developers and website owners. As in - oh man, that looks so cool, let's do that!
The analogy between IT security and car safety is really insightful. However, it's also interesting that cars are two to three orders of magnitude less safe than rail and air travel, respectively, in terms of injuries and fatalities per passenger mile. Maybe we should be thinking about how to make using computers as safe as air travel, rather than as safe as car travel.
Right, I'm saying that that company could be not Apple, and that the system could be built in a way so that other companies could also participate.

It doesn't necessarily have to be on a technical level. Imagine the following:

- Company starts a "distribution network" (much like current ones) for paid podcasts. You sign up, get a personallised feed to all podcasts you are currently paying for. Passworded feed maybe.

- Overcast also searches this distribution network and points that this is a paid podcast, directs to website. Alternatively, people just go to this website because it has good content or whatever

- Other distribution networks do the same thing, offering different payment strategies/genres/whatever.

Basically no technical differences from before. Same feeds, nobody controls the distribution more than currently.

It could end up with one big player, but by moving forward and giving a viable path for people who want to make discoverable paid content ("Oh I'll just throw it up onto Podscription", name's a freebee for anyone who wants to do this).

If someone else does it and gains traction to reach a critical mass, suddenly Apple can not build a closed system for this.

But if nobody does it, and Apple suddenly says 'Oh, here's our iTunes Premier Podcasts. Tap into our existing audience (but only works in iOS Podcast player)' then it's game over.

Doing nothing is giving Apple this pathway if they ever want to do it. Helping to move an alternative forward for something in which there seems to be demand will block Apple from closing everything off.

The thing to bear in mind is that PhD programs aren't geared towards people who just want to work on interesting questions, get the PhD, and then leave and do something else. You'll be immersed in a culture where all of your peers see a tenure track position as the only job worth having. No-one will take any aspirations you may have outside academia at all seriously. Unless you are very tough and independent-minded, you will have your perception of your own goals shifted by this.
