Yeah but what about the Radiation? It's only mentioned in passing in this article but I've read this story in other places where it is covered in greater detail.
From Java code to Java heap (2012)
Thank you for the detailed answer, I think you could expand on it and include it in your book as an introductory chapter, or even as a blurb (especially the second paragraph).
My stores would get a lot more of my business if they had better interfaces. I can pop over to the grocers, buy $200-$300 worth of grocers and be home in about half an hour. Using their website takes just about as long and then I have to wait a few hours for delivery.
Here in Sweden I'd say it's always basically 50/50 when I take my kid to the playground, no matter what time of day. Make it easier for dads to take paternity leave and more will do it and it will become more common and stop being awkward.
What? Isn't that perfectly expected and reasonable?

Indeed - the article explores the underlying process behind this effect.
> people start ordering groceries for home delivery is when they start a family.

This certainly matches our experience. We've been using Google Express a ton to get the regular necessities that come with having children: diapers, cheerios, food for lunches, etc.

We have a grocery store within walking distance that we still visit regularly for produce, perishables, and the odd ingredients that dinner sometimes requires.
Moreover why would they have so confidently made a comment full of such misinformation?
Real-time, public founder health data
Since this is the internet, I am free to reply with hearsay... I read that if you fall asleep that fast, you might not be getting enough sleep the previous night.
I think affluence is also used in wealth management to denote what level of wealth the customer has. "Affluent" is basically in between whatever the average net worth is and "high net worth individual". So it is kind of representitive of people who are in the 90-98% percentile. If those people happen to live in large city and not have any liquid assets, that is a different question.
Sounds like something you'd hear as a soundtrack to an ad for a computing device.
I don't disagree. I think Walmart expresses the structure of health care access in the United States. I don't think the contractor model as implemented in the consumer facing gig economy or more traditionally in Amazon's warehouses has noticeably better economic outcomes for workers.

My impression is that when journalists muckrake contract labor, healthcare access gets lumped in with employment instability and attempts at assigning responsibility to the big brand for the effects of outsourcing to the lowest bidder.

Any unskilled job is going to have a low enough pay rate that many of the employees will qualify for public assistance. This goes for Walmart, Target, and the mom and pop shops Walmart replaced. If Walmart went out of business tomorrow, these people would still be on public assistance. That's today's economy.
Rapport 2009:7 R, Swedish national agency of higher education.

A start would be to read page 18 and down, but the conclusions on page 31 and 56 is what most of my comment is based on. To translate a section with title "why do men drop out":

"Our conclusion, somewhat simplified, are three main root causes. First, men who start studying to become a teacher can be less convinced in their decision, because they are walking outside societies norms and are not doing a typical male job, and thus the decision to become a teacher is questioned from the beginning. The second reason is that men are faced with a traditional feminine culture which they either have to assimilate or rebel to, both which makes life more difficult. Thirdly, there are few male role models compare to female role models."

I was in charge of supporting a large QlikView installation a couple of years ago. At one point we were just deploying servers with 512GB of RAM because the dashboards kept growing and growing and the developers were having trouble identifying the causes. Over time, updates helped but I was often in Process Monitor (SysInternals) reverse engineering the whole thing and suggesting fixes, grabbing memory dumps and analyzing stack traces, etc.

It was fun because it was a puzzle and I was helping fix broken things, but at some point you just ask yourself "what for?" when things are so broken and improve very slowly.

Its interesting that in the UK, its more environmentally friendly to have your groceries delivered than to drive out and get them yourself because of the efficiency of the specialised delivery vans that have refrigerated racks for 100s of pallet\trays and then do a route in cities\suburbs serving dozens of orders in close proximity.

Some random taxi driver sticking a pallet in their boot (sorry, trunk) seems like a pretty crap and expensive alternative.
> Why? The ads aren't that bad.

They really are. On desktop they're unskippable (unless you reload - often 10+ times to get something short enough or no ad), they're never relevant or interesting, they're ridiculously long (often over a minute, I've seen them significantly longer than the video). They're noise, and the signal/noise ratio is worse than I've ever seen on TV. If a video's longer than about 10 minutes sometimes it cuts in the middle of a sentence to show another irrelevant, long, rubbish ad too.
The primary difference between this and most of the stem cell therapies delivering mesechymal stem cells - which are more or less the standard type of cell to use for the moment, the most studied and most characterized, no-one got fired for using mesenchymal stem cells, etc - such as those widely available via medical tourism is the delivery to the brain. That isn't something clinics do, for all the obvious reasons.

So I'm inclined to think that this is one of a number of different studies in recent years to demonstrate that the delivery methodology makes just as much of a difference as the type of cell lineage and any tinkering done to that cell lineage.
What he's referring to is subjective for sure, but for example, the Google Search page has lost a lot of UI-options for selecting different search limitations over the past few years.

One of the least subjectively dumb decisions that they pushed through, was to change the "+"-operator from making a word obligatory to searching for this word on Google+.
This one, I suppose, would go under just straight-up arrogance.

In general, though, I would ascribe it to bigger companies having a higher percentage of graphics designers, as opposed to regular programmers working on the UI.
And well, programmers will generally put more options and things into a UI than your average UI person.
And if you like options and things, then the UI person's UI is subjectively worse.
Knowing that what you say will be private(ish) and not be kept on historical record (at least not in public -- I assume Snapchat saves everything) can lead one to be more open, honest, and up-front in their communication.

Whereas writing something which will be kept on the public historical record for all to see forever leads to both conscious and subconscious self-censorship and can be misleading when trying to "read back who you have been 10 years ago" because what you wrote may not have been what you were really thinking.

The ephemeral nature of the spoken word and the historical nature of the written word both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Wow for an institution like MIT to offer a professorship to someone so clearly uncrdentialed sends a horrible signal to faculty and students. I will not talk about this persons lack of credentials because apparently that's a personal attack but I will say that academia and professorsship has everything to do with the philosophy of a subject not just its practice. I would never hire a surgeon who never went to medical school or a rocket scientist who didn't have a phD. Maybe they've achieved knowledge outside of academia, if that's the case that's where they should practice there skills, but to now have them share that unique and disorganized philosophy with students trying to learn structurally is unfair to the hard work and sacrifice those students have made to be able to get to MIT in the first place. They've earned the right to be taught and mentored by someone who has taken the same path they have and put in the time and admirable effort to study their subject academically.

Our prestigious universities like MIT are institutions that are aspirational to so many. Those who have taken the long and arduous path from student to researcher and then professors deserve the fruits of there labor. This is a slap in the face to so many people who have dedicated their lives to the advancement of knowledge.
Actualy the world's longest and deepest rail tunnel is already open somewhere. It just won't hold that distinction once this other one opens in Switzerland.

That's awesome! He puts into words something that I've been trying to explain for years.

I'm leaving the military and a big part of it is the "can do attitude" or "loyalty before cleverness." Basically, because the chain of command cannot be subverted (for lots of good reasons) we end up doing a ton of work that just gets thrown away.

To simplify, Yossi says that the way to be 10x is to learn how and when to tell your management you're not going to do the thing. That's not only not an option in the military, it's literally illegal. We end up doing way too much stuff that gets abandoned and we regularly do useless work specifically because it emphasizes the point that we have to come to terms with doing useless work (to develop and prove loyalty).

The brain is immune privileged, so there is more leeway to use donor cells if that is the destination. Which isn't the case in most uses of stem cell transplants, as you point out.

> UK supermarkets are a bit ahead of the curve here. All the large ones have a home delivery service

Same in Australia.
Most of them were well-dressed (see morgue photos, for example). And it wasn't that cold out there back then for hypothermia to kick in.
Home delivery was very common in the US years ago but started to become more uncommon probably in the 1970s. When I was a kid we still had a milkman too, those are mostly gone today as well.
When I shop for groceries about half of my bill is produce. I also need groceries every week to keep produce in the house.

I don't trust anyone to pick out produce. So I have to go buy it. So it's not worth it to me to buy groceries online because I would only be buying non-produce.

I do however buy some things on Amazon that otherwise we might buy in the grocery store, like diapers.

For the generation part, it might be a good idea to separate "music" into its parts (like bass, drums, melody, chord-rhythm, chord-ambient-background, and other stuff like secondary melodies, horn section arrangements or whatever). A unique model for each one of those could learn differently. Each of those parts could be broken down even further too.

Unless they just want back-fill for volume. They can back fill using random Taxi for less than the cost of building / buying a truck that rarely gets used. Sort of like peaking power plants, their fuel costs are extreme. But if you only need them for ~5% of your power ~5% of the time that's 0.25% which is negligible.

Similarly, if you don't know expected volumes a test run without large capital / personnel costs is very reasonable.

I believe it was a migu that killed them. Yeti type animal. Why? Possibly because of the Russian military activity nearby, most likely. I doubt there was provocation on the hikers part. The physical damage was definitely animalistic and no doubt if men had killed them it would have been an entirely different story
I've never been pregnant myself (yet).

But I have friends who are new mothers, who say they can't imagine leaving their newborn child, who they carried for nine months. It's a special bond, and most of them wanted to be stay at home moms after.

Only a few went back to work because they had financial issues due to costs from delivery complications.

I've been working with MSCs for more than 15 years, mostly in stroke, and I agree completely. It's worth noting that this trial used donor cells, and that might be part of the reason they don't remain after a couple of months. There is evidence that autologous cells persist longer, likely because they aren't swept up by immune rejection.

What we and others have found is that age of the donor inversely correlates to their therapeutic potential. For that reason, I founded Forever Labs, Inc. http://www.foreverlabs.co/

We bank young MSCs so that they can be preserved for therapy later in life. I banked my own two months ago.

We prefer bone marrow MSCs as the BM also contains blood progenitor and stem cells, whereas adipose tissue does not.

I could see using the service but I drive right past a supermarket to and from work so there's not much in the way of time or travel saved.

The local Walmart here experimented with something similar a few years ago, not using Uber but using customers at the store. Shoppers could get store credit in exchange for delivering orders on their way home. They don't do it anymore so it must not have worked well.

I suspect there's a point in the iteration cycle where a social network is likely to benefit some apps. For most apps, I'm not sure that the point occurs prior to launch because a social network for users requires users.

I always personally use "lasagna code" to discuss code that was over-abstracted with layers to the point of unreadability. Spaghetti code is a bad thing; I don't see why lasagna code would be a good thing. Is it common to have a positive connotation here that I'm just unaware of?

> The point is that mocks make us test the wrong things. A test should assert behaviours in the form of outputs for a given input, not by verifying if a certain method is called or not. Mocks focus on implementation, while the results are what we actually care about.

Mocks test the external behavior of a component, and they do that perfectly well. The problem with mocks is that they don't test your assumptions about how those interactions should work, compared to how they actually work. I can use mocks to test that certain SQL statements are being generated, but that doesn't help if there's a fundamental error in my assumptions about how SQL statements work.
