Implementation details are going to be an exercise for the organization. But if you start from the wrong guiding principles (or no principles at all), you're going to end up with a lot of avoidable mistakes and pointless middle-of-the-night bridge calls.
It's only finishing cooking while it is being delivered. It first has to be assembled and par baked, which means unless you order a very common pie (say a large cheese) you will have to wait like we do now.
Well, if the card could require you to enter first a random code and then your pin, the key board might be kept such that each key was hit equally often.

I'm sure there are plenty more bugs to work out in such a system but if such things were reasonably widespread, it would make overall security much higher.
Inevitability and lack of resources. We can all agree that robots are in the process of replacing many careers regardless of immigration. When the robot needs replacing you purchase a new robot. When the low skilled worker you imported is made obsolete by an even cheaper robot, now that worker must be taken care of by the state. Chances are that worker also plans on reproducing during their life, creating more unnecessary workers
We've had that for years. Americans aren't subtle - they needed someone to come out and 'say what is on his mind' for them.
You're right, though sometimes simplicity beats flexibility. It's a lot easier to set it as a standard right at the beginning of the signal chain and frees all the engineers down the line from having to make decisions about it, and ensures consistency in the process.

Um, no. C++ can be safer than C (which is an incredibly low bar) but only if you carefully constrain yourself to certain subsets of the language, which is why the web is chock-a-block with byzantine "C++ coding standards" documents describing all the rules you have to follow in order to avoid shooting yourself in the foot.
Being a huge pizza nerd, I have to ask, what is domino's pizza great compared to?

There is a nice saying that is apropos - "pizza is like sex, even when it is bad, it is still pretty good."
Are you conflating dynamic range compression with data compression?
That many ovens seems ridiculous considering the pizzas need assembled and par baked before getting loaded into the truck. If I order my pie I have to wait until 50 other people get theirs, the driver returns to the store and loads up another 50 and then I get mine?
Yes, just can't be bothered to make an arbitrary amount of profit. That's definitely a justifiable reason. ಠ_ಠ

IMO building SQL by concatenating anything feels wrong.

This is a much easier problem to solve. There are certainly different ways in which objects can collide though, so that would make the problem more interesting and complex.

I agree that people summarize things in a sensationalist manner, and that cherry-picking endpoints is unreasonable. I disagree that the pound hasn't tumbled: it did in fact drop substantially in a very short period of time. I also don't really agree that you get a clearer understanding of the market response in the long term. In the short term, it's very clear that the market is reacting to a single event. In the long term, you have to try to separate the effects of this event from all the others, which is dramatically more difficult.

Also, even if you don't know which way it'll go, you are making some claim about how the market will behave. It sounds like you're predicting a decrease in volatility? Ok, you can bet on that. If not that, then what? If you aren't predicting something that can be bet on, you aren't predicting anything at all.

From the video it appears your stereotypical stoned college student working the late shift at Dominos could make pizzas at about 5-10x the rate of that robot assisted assembly line. Their "automated" method uses more people than a manual operation!

The same reason that ... coyotes have come back, we limit hunting permits.

That depends. They've vastly increased their range, it extended into western Massachusetts in the early '80s as I recall, and in my home state of Missouri you are more than welcome to kill as many as you can (and they're challenging to hunt):

http://huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/hunting-trapping/species/coyote/c...

Hours: Coyotes may be taken all year.

Except during the daylight hours from April 1 - 17, 2016.

Notes: Coyotes, except as otherwise provided in this section, may be taken by hunting, and pelts and carcasses may be possessed, transported, and sold in any numbers throughout the year.

Special method restrictions apply during spring turkey season....

We seriously have way too many of them.

I think the nasty taste of deer has more to do with their increasing numbers than anything else other than various extremes like you note in taking them (when I was in grade school, I think, my mother said NO MORE (MULE) DEER!!! and my father switched to more tasty elk and eventually very tasty moose (as long as you don't get a really old one)).

(Side note: mere words cannot express how happy I am to have been born, raised, and now retired to a part of SW Missouri where there are absolutely no bear (to even get a sighting you have to go 2-3 counties away).)
I don't buy the low cost argument here, because they don't feed them nutritious food, they prey on them by selling them predominantly high chemical, low nutrition addictive junk food that leads to diabetes and obesity, which is now the leading cause of death. Are we automating doctors next?

I get that everyone in Silicon Valley right now is obsessed with unfictionalizing Snow Crash, but the best way to make cheap food is to buy real food and learn how to cook it. There's a discount grocery store a block away and I frequently buy Actual Food there for prices that even a robot welding machine programmed to move pizzas around can't compete with.

The Rabobank system when used for online shopping using the "rabo scanner" works by redirecting to their site. Then displays a color QR code that your scanner reads.

You insert card and enter PIN, then scan the QR code.

The device actually displays amount+account that you are transferring money to. Then asks you if that is correct.

If you enter "yes", it will give you a 8 digit code that you can enter in the website to confirm.

Sony's MDR7506 is, or at least used to be a few years ago, the reliable radio workhorse. When you spend all day with your headphones, especially in the field, super expensive cans most people like for music are a liability. I love the 7506s: flat, cheap, and comfortable all day. <$100. NOT the consumer version (-V6 or something). Real, purebred, MDR7506. NegativeK is right, too; the $100 AKG range is also popular in working radio, as well as some Sennheiser HD280s.

On the production side of things where quality super matters, you'll see the more expensive headphones for sure. But every single person in the last newsroom I saw rocked the 7506, and though I've moved on to more expensive headphones for programming and my music collection, I still miss my 7506s on occasion.
I recently went from shopping at Gelson's in Orange County to shopping at El Super's in the Valley. The price difference in everything was shocking but the fruits and vegetables are unbelievably cheap.
It Takes a Pirate to Catch a Pirate
So let's say they have one mic per five employees. Those employees cost (I'm guessing) at least $300 000 per year, and most of what they produce of value for NPR goes through that mic. Doesn't look very expensive now?

And I haven't factored in cost/rent for the studio, music licensing, and a whole lot of other OPEX. Since there are quite a few local radio stations around, I'd say the CAPEX is not a big deal.
Good point, that is one thing I always admired about them. They atleast play bearable ads but I know that they have great content and news analysis stories coming on later.

It looks like the Gutenberg Project's [0] English copy is the Arthur Machen translation from Jean Laforgue's hatchet job.

> if you can accept that you will never know the entire language

As a developer responsible for understanding what everyone else is doing on the same project, no I cannot accept that.
The vast majority of real numbers are never used for anything, so their aggregate properties are only important insofar as you don't have a 'smaller' system with those same properties.
It's consistent, cheap and fairly good. They re-formulated their pizza a few years ago and it is considerably better.

Pizza is very regional and if you're in an unfamiliar place, you take a risk by going to a small "artisanal" pizzeria. Considering that they have such a large market share, their pizza can't be that if that's what millions of Americans prefer. It's also similar to the style of pizza many American's had growing up. Taste is subjective afterall
I think it has less to do with superiority than many people believe. Consider the gist of this idea I made up now:

If a person is considering ideas (especially political ideas) then they might view those ideas as being held by a person like themself. Some ideas are very easy to picture being held by a very similar person (e.g. spicy food), but the more complex the idea (e.g. Trexit) the more difficult it becomes to conceive of the mindset that the similar person would need to have in order to have reached the differing conclusion.

The key here is that it's not really about a differing mindset, so much as different circumstances that construct the differing mindset. This, I assert, is very difficult to account for completely without simply accepting all views at face value as both perfectly valid and a complete mystery, unknowable outside each person's mind.

As such, it is inconceivable to the person who thinks they understand both the issues at hand and the mind of the relevant populace to reach a conclusion that contradicts the logical consequences of the (broken) assumptions, and thus the conclusion is that the one who holds such opinions is an illogical dunce, and unacceptable in this rational age. In actuality the assumptions are broken in a subtle way such that it is easy to miss the leap made to broad-brush painting.
I have called 911 or its equivalent more than a dozen times on three continents. No magic helping people appear within five minutes

In what other countries did you try?

I called 911 in Canada many times as a ski patroller, and EMS were always on the way in less than 1 minute.

In Australia, when my Grandfather had a heart attack and teenage me had to call the equivalent (000), the ambulance was there extremely quickly (coming from a town about 12km away).

> How do these markets avoid food poisoning their customers? Are the meat makers, distributors and retailers wholly separate? Do farmers of Asian vegetables avoid fertilising with manure?

By not being a juicy target for a lawsuit. These are mom and pop shops that would just disappear into the ether if there was a big foodborne illness outbreak linked to their wares. They're also not selling prepared food--if you serve unsafe food that is because you did not prepare it correctly.
TradeKing went full idiot and disabled entering your password by keyboard completely. They implemented an on-screen keyboard and there's no way to opt out.

It sounds like you prefer Dominos for their delivery service, hours and geographic region.
Chipotle is itself a large chain. The incentives to avoid some bad food poisoning the market for one of your 2,000 stores are a little different from the incentives to avoid poisoning your only market.

Looked at another way, the fact that a Chinatown vendor's source would add heterogeneity to a national chain's supply chain doesn't mean the Chinatown guy uses heterogeneous sourcing. He is as localized as his source is.

They are a glimpse into an earlier age in more ways than one. At that time industrial processes were not as specialized as today and could easily be repurposed. For example in the 1940s IBM's factories (which had been making mechanical tabulators and the like) converted to making guns, bombsights, engine parts and the like. Can you imagine one of Intel's multibillion dollar fabs making anything but single process chips?

The whole world isn't quite like that yet; a few years ago I visited a factory in India that made portable generators. Aluminium ingots and copper wire came in one end and generators came out the other. None of the labor was automated. They could have, with some effort, changed products.

No way he's talking about data compression, with respect. He's talking about frequency response adjustment and range compression (sometimes called "companding").

A while ago NPR used to use 2B ISDN (112Kbps in the US) for remote locations. I believe they used G.722 codecs for low-latency applications (conversations) and MPEG layer II for higher quality stuff. That was data compression.

But the NPR distribution system isn't so bandwidth limited as to require crushing the data.
>only if you carefully constrain yourself to certain subsets of the language

I'm curious which subsets are included in this?
"Being in a burglary", such that you might get killed, counts as robbery in the US, and per that page:

UK robbery incidences: 76,179 (THOSB – CEW page 61, paragraph 2.)

76,179 / 561 = 135.72

US robbery incidences: 354,396 (FBI – CUS)

354,396 / 3116 = 113.7

You are thus 1.1x (135.7 / 113.7) more likely to suffer robbery in the UK than in the US.

Now, robberies in the context of home invasions I don't know, and I didn't see it on that page. Nor did I see where you then got a 4x more likely to be killed if in a house invasion robbery in the US, although I'm quite willing to believe it. But I'll seriously look at that page, the author's inclusion of BCS and NCVS statistics means he's serious (as, e.g., a posting in the current "Dial 911 and get Wall Street" topic notes, US robbery statistics are understated by cities where they don't even bother with them if there's no injury).
Notes for “Advances in Optimizing Recurrent Networks” Paper
This is the snob effect. People like the author believe produce is cheaper because of poor quality. Does Chinatown respond by lowering prices further because people won't buy poor quality produce?

If it weren't for prejudice then Chinatown groceries might price for more profit. The customers are missing out too. Marketing can fix this.
> The 911 system in NYC is sophisticated, was revamped by the Bloomberg administration heavily in the wake of September 11th, and is very much part of the civil service here. Your story about calling 911 in NYC and getting an out of town call center is obvious fiction and makes me doubt the rest of your stories as a result.

I worked at a telco for 4 years, one of our "responsibilities" was to supply the government daily with "the 911 dump" which is a mapping of all phone numbers to physical addresses for reverse lookup.

From experience, I can tell you it would often go many weeks of script failures with nobody noticing, and in any given dumps there were hundreds of addresses that were wrong and incoherent. Telco is a numbers game. When you're dealing with millions of entries, a couple of percent are always garbage.

I think that one factor is that in the Chinese culture, you don't expect everything to be good and available during all seasons.

At a Whole Foods, you can reasonably be assured of asparagus in the winter time. In Chinatown, things are only available when they're in season, like a farmers' market.

Also, if you've ever ordered at a Chinese restaurant with a Chinese family, you'll see this phenomenon. Instead of ordering what you want, you'll consult with the waiter to see "what's good today".

For instance, the spinach might be not up to par, so he'll substitute some nice fresh bok choy. I've not seen that in a western restaurant.
Sorry, "cans" is radio slang for headphones, from the can-and-string metaphor. I'll make that clearer.

This cheat sheet shows what a lot of rookies don't understand, pentesting requires knowledge of the same systems and services as that which any linux sysadmin has.

When in reality they need the same skills as any good linux sysadmin, understanding protocols, understanding services, and being able to google well in english.

I had an instructor once that insisted on having a single exit point for all loops. "Never use break or continue or return from a loop." The argument was that understanding control flow is more complex when you don't have to deal with these things.

However, those things exist in the language. You can't just pretend nobody is going to use them, because there might be very good reasons to use them, especially in an imperative context.
