In this case I would think it fairly easy.

First, the volumes are much smaller. A large store chain can negotiate prices lower because they will be shifting a lot more product. The effect on unit margins adds up on both sides of the equation.

Second, the cost of labour. A grocery store should have a fairly big figure for units sold per employee. (Not just milk, but everything they sell.)

Third, we are obviously paying for service and convenience. The milk is delivered fresh, early in the morning. We just open the door and get the bottles. The fact that the empty bottles are taken away for no extra effort is an additional convenience factor, but one of the big reasons we originally went for a milkman service.

Number four - the milkman company is a business. They need to make a profit too.

Because the company operates with a dairy, I can probably discount the cost of specific cold chain maintenance. They would be maintaining the equipment and cooling in any case due to the products.

We could get groceries delivered from the shops, but that is still less convenient. The delivery slots are either during the day or in the evening, and we need to be at the door. Delivery is an extra charge, and priced so that it makes economical sense to order a lot more in one batch. This actually adds a disincentive to ordering milk: we enjoy fresh milk, and with longer delivery intervals it sure wouldn't be as fresh when we drink it.

And finally: the amount of plastic waste, even with our reduction tactics, is pretty significant. If we bought our milk from the store, we would need at least one more plastic recycling crate to hold all the milk cartons.

First mistake was allowing Trump to run. Second was to be Republican presidential candidate. Third and the final one would be to make him win
1. We have prototyped basic query functioanlity already (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6_T5yaWns) and Noms was designed from the beginning to support efficient indexes and range scans. So I'm not sure why it would be harder for us to support a query language than any other database.

2. It's true that content addressing can exacerbate data locality which can hurt read performance. However, there are thing you can do to get a lot of that back.

1. To answer your question, yes.

2. Putting Trump and Clinton on the same level simply isn't accurate. I would revise this:

|============================X==| amazing candidate

|================X==============| normally acceptable candidate

|============X==================| Clinton

|==X============================| Trump

Clinton is certainly worse than most candidates historically, but her corruption and scandals are par for the course. It's the underbelly of politics that has always existed. Trump is a new level.
The best food city has to be the one with the most diversity of foods. If you want the best food of a certain cuisine, of course it would be hard to beat the cuisine's homeland. But some cities are better than others in providing high-quality (but maybe not the absolute best) examples of international cuisines.

Another factor is that, to me, the "best food city" is one that has excellent cheap food. This is also a factor proportional to the city's diversity. Some cities may have amazing high-end restaurants, but I'm not going to eat at a nice sit-down restaurant all the time (maybe even rarely). A city may have many Michelin stars, but when's the last time you considered a Michelin place for lunch? How many times would you go to one, maybe once a year, or less?

Because of this, I would rate many American coastal cities as some of the best places for food because of the diversity.
I don't think he's investing in the hopes that Trump will pull of a long shot. I think he has a different goal in mind. He said in his speech at the RNC that the country is broken and that Trump is the only one who can fix it. I have no doubt that he believes the first part - he's said as much for a long time - but I do doubt that he really thinks Trump is the man to fix anything. Thiel may be nutty according to some, but he's not an idiot and the only thing Trump has ever been good at is self-promotion and entertainment.

I think he thinks the country is broken and _someone_ has to fix it. He's supporting Trump and investing in his campaign even at this late, seemingly forgone stage, in order to build credibility with Trump's base and conservatives in general. If he wasn't an immigrant I would think he might be aiming for the presidency himself, but he probably just wants to be an influencer or power broker.
Indian food is really good in Tokyo (and throughout Japan I guess). Every single Indian restaurant, no matter how cheap, seems to have a real brick wood fired nan oven, and it only got better from there. I liked the Indian food in Tokyo better than in Delhi.

If you are just in for normal food, Tokyo does have a lot of variety in international food, from kabob to Brazilian (of course), most of them foreign operated. The money in Tokyo along with the residents desire for international food drives the industry.
I agree 100 percent. Been to Spain a lot and still have yet to figure out what their "food" is. all I know is on the coast I can get good paella and inland is potatoes, eggs and jamon.. Which is all fine and dandy but its not exactly deep.
Disagree that he can get away with it. Michelin star or not, this guy wouldn't have a modicum of main stream recognition if it weren't for Anthony Bourdain giving him his 15 minutes of fame.

If you watch the Mind of a Chef series where he is featured in the first season, you get the sense that he has a chip on his shoulder regarding asian cuisine. That's fine and maybe well deserved, but I wouldn't get this kind of advice from someone so blatantly biased.

Especially someone who brags about the Japanese sending their "very best cooks to train in Europe" who then subsequently tries to belittle some of the world's top food destinations that happen to be in Europe.
I wonder what kind of outrage will be exhibited, if any, in this case and which companies that Peter Thiel has stakes in would be boycotted en masse. My guess is nothing.

I'm not in favor of Brendan Eich's personal choice, but I feel the reaction was far too strong in that case. Here we have something more than a thousand times larger that supports many oppressive things.

Came here to say this. Osaka beat the pants off Tokyo food wise. Everywhere I've been in Osaka has been amazing, can't say anything remotely similar for my experiences in Tokyo.
Tokyo is pretty cheap for normal people. At least, it feels cheaper than an American coastal city depending on swings in the exchange rate. This includes lower end foreign resteraunts.
"Why Tokyo Is the World’s Best Food City"? Because the author uses the word "fucking" at least once per paragraph. That is why. So off I go to Tokyo, visibly impressed.
I think Tokyo fits your criteria very well, too.

I wrote this about Android a while back:

http://penguindreams.org/blog/android-fragmentation/

The TLDR is that it'd be nice if Android was more like Windows/Intel: install the OS (i.e. AOSP), drivers (or binary driver package format and an SDK to auto-build it) and boom you're done. Clean, stock, standard. Same with many Linux distros on x86/64.

I need to write an update to the article though. Lately I've been struggling with a Clearfog ARM board, and coupled with Torvald's recent comments on Intel vs ARM, I wonder if a huge chunk of the problem is ARM itself.

I've noticed for every distro there are really specific images, not just for each ARM chipset, but for individual boards, even when those manufacture patches make it into the mainline kernel.

I haven't looked closely at Android and I'm really curious at the build system/workflow used by things like Cyanogen and Omnirom. Are kernels really specialized per device? Does the ARM architecture itself make it difficult to have general purpose kernels that will boot on all of them like in the x86/64 world?

Any ARM hardware people care to chime in?
Yes. There is already a legal mechanism for dealing with this. Ignore them on your list, or report them to the authorities. Booting them off the platform doesn't make sense to me.

I was working at Mozilla when this was going on. I likely would've quit if Eich had remained.

I've written at length about Proposition 8 and the fact that it was not simply a matter of opinion or personal belief. It was, shorn of all the attempts to make it sound non-controversial, about taking a basic premise of a free society -- equality of all people under the law -- and putting it up for popular vote. Proposition 8 was literally a ballot measure to say "these people shouldn't be equal to everyone else". I am OK with applying social pressure to people who attempt that sort of thing, to make them feel as alienated from the core principles of society as they actually are.

> Space isn't cold. It has very low temperature. These are not the same thing.

That's news to me. What do you think "cold" means if not a synonym for "low temperature"?

> Because space has extremely low density thermal radiation doesn't really work very well... it's very hard for a vehicle in a vacuum to dump heat...there is no medium to receive the energy!

No, that's completely wrong. It is very easy to radiate heat into space as long as your radiator is not pointed at the sun. What you can't do is convect heat away, which makes it hard to transfer heat from the hot part of a spacecraft to the cold part. But getting rid of the heat once you've transferred it to a radiator is really easy. In fact, some parts of a spacecraft need heaters to keep them warm if they don't get sun exposure.
Could you list your window manager of choice and also which others you explored (along with any observations)? I'm sure at least a few people here would be interested.
So consider Proposition 8. This was a ballot measure whose sole purpose was to enshrine in law the idea that "this group of people over here aren't legally equal to everyone else".

Privately believing someone has done something wrong, or belongs to a bad group, is one thing. Trying to enshrine that belief in law and disenfranchise the targeted person or group is quite another thing, and if you honestly are unable to see the difference between the two I'm unsure how to assist you.
Spain, as a I suppose almost all the countries, doesn't have a "main food".

Paella is not even a food, it is just a dish with concrete ingredients and 99% of what is sold as paella is not paella, it is a rice dish.

A bit of an aside, but there is no such thing as a "good dental plan" when you talk about affording one in the US. Every single dental plan I've seen has a fairly low cap on the annual amount it will pay out; for many that cap is below the annual premium.

Dental plans as practiced in the US only make sense if someone other than the beneficiary is paying the premiums. So what really matters isn't whether someone is rich but whether their employer is paying for a dental plan.

Now "rich people" can afford to just pay the dentist, of course. Not least because dentists typically have sane price transparency (e.g. will tell you ahead of time how much something will cost) and dental emergencies are very rare, so people can usefully shop around. As a result dentists are actually subject to price competition, unlike most of the other parts of the medical profession.

This is yet another reason why GNU/Linux lost the desktop, non-technical people and those that have to support them, don't really like choice.
Can I ask respectfully what you mean by fluent?

Only because...the textbook definition and the colloquial definition differ. I think generally when people say 'fluent' they mean 'native speaker level at reading, writing and speaking language X', whereas fluent actually means you can speak without hesitation on a range of topics.

Just a clarification, not an attack!

Edit: Plus, I wouldn't knock wordlists. I started trying to make wordlists only out of words I had some connection to, but you end up spending an inordinate amount of time making cards, and also then it's tempting to keep interrupting your reading to make new flashcards.

I am 'fluent' in mandarin, and use HSK6 wordlists as a base. I learn a bunch of random words and then suddenly, when I'm reading an article, there's the word I learned a month ago. I don't need to interrupt my reading flow, and the connection has been made. Sometimes at advanced levels, you won't see a word that often, so it's wasteful to see it once, make a flashcard, and then never have another chance to see the word in a real world context for another 6 months.

> when you get bored of Japanese food (or Japanese reinventions of other foods), then maybe Tokyo would get old for you.

No, sorry, Tokyo really has amazing food of all kinds and not mere "reinventions". Italians here admit the Italian food is better on average than in Italy, the American food is better here than back home, etc.

I won't get into French food in Tokyo, which is superb, I will leave that comparison to you.

If you haven't been in Tokyo, you really have no idea what you're talking about. There are more Michelin starred restaurants here than Paris, London, and New York combined. And more importantly: only half the Michelin starred restaurants in those cities are any good. On the other hand, only half the good restaurants in Tokyo accept a Michelin listing because the other half doesn't want to deal with the tourists it brings. So the real ratio is even more lopsided.

Ps, Momofuku is overrated and David Chang's personality is tedious, but that doesn't make him wrong about Tokyo.
Clinton has been exposed in plain daylight as having done things that would have made Richard Nixon blush. It's so bad that her campaign has been forced to hire a crew of dedicated astroturfers to cover for her, and they have no scruples over doing this either. How does that make her better than Trump?
>Polls are objective not subjective.

I get what you're trying to say, and most polling seems to be pretty objective, but you can absolutely do subjective polling. You just have to target the right demo and you can make any poll say anything you want.
Why do humans distrust "algorithms"? Maybe they had past experiences where algorithms behaved worse than humans?

A recent example from recently: facebook replaced human-curated news with machine-curated, they started trending fake news [2].

Another example is algorithms that try to help you during automated phone calls, hence people always try to get to a human. This is because the speech-to-concept parsing/mapping is flawed or because they're not programmed to perform some specific tasks.

Another example is self-driving cars. Google cars have been involved in more accidents per mile than average humans[1].

In general, people's intuition is built through repeated encounters, that's why it is so great.

The second option will probably beat a byte lookup table. GCC switched from a lookup table to similar code. If this still isn't fast enough, try using SIMD registers and the Harley/Seal method based on carry save adders (http://www.hackersdelight.org/hdcodetxt/popArrayHS.c.txt). If you like this sort of bit twiddling, you probably would enjoy Henry Warren's Hacker's Delight.
You are joking? The Clinton Foundation has left an overwhelming trail of evidence that points to their wrong doings, whether it is in Haiti, at the WHO or through the pay-to-play scheme and deals they have with petro-monarchies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The latest Wikileaks dump shows that Bill Clinton received a million dollar "birthday gift" through the Clinton Foundation directly from Qatar. At the very moment it was clear to the State Dept. that the governments (not private individuals or royal family members - this is a game changer) of SA and Qatar were actively funding ISIS, sunni militias and mercenary groups to destabilise Syria and Iraq.

We could talk about Haiti, the gold contracts landed to HRC's brother and the obvious collusion and conflict of interests she was part of during her time as a Secretary of State.
Yours is an anecdotal comment. I'm glad to hear that your company doesn't engage in ageism, but just because you don't doesn't mean others embody the same cultural values.

Of course it is anecdotal. It has to be. There is no official, legal definition of diversity consideration in hiring. Nor is there any universal culture of applying it to hiring programmers.

Edit: I certainly understand that this type of discrimination occurs... I just don't think that age is typically an active consideration for companies with mature/experienced management. We all know that "not a good culture fit" can be code for things both fair and unfair.
> So a job at walmart means another person on government social aid program(s)

As opposed to a person with no job (at Walmart or otherwise) who would then not be on said programs?

That is, you are assuming that if Walmart paid more it would still have just as many employees. This assumption is not obviously true, and is likely false.

I know paella as a rice dish with saffron plus other stuff like meat and veggies. The point, at least, I'm making is that if you talk to someone and ask them to think about Italian, Japanese, Chinese, etc food, they have a pretty good idea of what comprises that cultures culinary "menu". With Spain I don't see that. And I'm not saying this sarcastically, I'd really like to know for next time I go there, cause I feel like I'm missing something, and its not 10 year old jamon and eggs...
