Furthermore, if you have an entire conversation, its much easier to cherry pick specific parts to make the person look however you want them to look.

If you're a big enough target, having lots of conversations is much worse than having none, because you will make a mistake, or something will be misinterpreted, either accidentally or willfully.

It freaks me a little bit how on-demand most people seem to do their grocery shopping, but I have to attribute that to my atypical rural upbringing. When it is a 30-40 mile round trip to the grocery store, you become accustomed to doing all the shopping for the week at once, and whipping something up with what is on hand during the week.

Also that it seems like nobody has more than about three days of food in their pantry. My mother still puts up hundreds of quarts of canned vegetables every summer out of the garden, freezes enough other stuff to fill an entire full-size freezer, then they buy half a beef-creature from the farmer down the hill to fill the other freezer. And usually a couple hundred pounds of potatoes. There's probably enough food to keep them alive for two years.
Why do you need a desktop running 100% via web technologies? What's the advantage of that? BTW, IIRC KDE uses JS for some Qt stuff and GTK uses CSS for themes.

How is HTTPS even close to X11 protocol? That's like saying a car engine can function as a steering wheel.

BTW /r/linux is not all Linux users.
> hot, cooked food to my door every night for about $20/meal

I'm disappointed when it costs more than $10 total to feed my family of 5 a hot cooked meal. 1.5 lbs of beef, 2 vegetables, and a few cups of milk is ~$10. This will increase as my kids get older, but God I can't imagine spending $20 per meal per person on food. Plus, the kids get to help see how the food is prepared, our oldest (7) can help cut veggies, everyone can help set the table, and best of all we know every last ingredient that does (and doesn't) end up in our food.

I assign a value to my free time too, and preparing fresh meals with my family is pretty damn valuable.
Exactly, why not title the article "Why Do Millennials Hate to Cook".

You can get laptops with extremely good hardware at a better price than the MBP. For example, Dell's XPS series is the best example. Fantastic screen, fantastic trackpad, good build quality, and equivalent specs despite being a model year behind. In terms of hardware, the MBP is pretty bad value.

The OSes are miles behind though.

To have high quality GUI Swift is not enough. You'd need to have AppKit ported, and a bunch of Core* (CoreImage, etc.) stuff. In short—not going to happen.
The i3 is cool but I want a pure EV. There's no comparison between pure EV and hybrids in terms of how much nicer they are to own. We've had our Leaf for about 2.5 years and the only maintenance we've done is tire rotations and replaced the cabin air filter.

Even though the engine in the i3 REx and the Volt don't get used as much as the engine in a Prius, it still adds a lot of failure points and a lot of additional maintenance that pure EVs don't have.
Adblockers would start including machine-learning-based heuristics to flag articles as "probably an ad" etc.

> And again, either way you use the term, non-profit status has no impact on a company's margins

I think your interpretation of the original comment and statement may be different than some of those you are in discussion with. I interpreted "challenge Uber and Lyfts margins" as "compete at a similar level" (with the margins of competitors being affected by the competition), and it appears you might be interpreting it as "getting better margins than the competitors". It's also possible to read the original statement as raising the question of whether it's even possible, and so fully in line with your position.

It is poor wording though. Margins have a complex relationship with, and are only one of the variables that goes into, profit.

> "Paying out investors" does not impact their margins.

Insofar as investors are willing (or forced) to defer payment it doesn't, but pressure can change strategy, and strategy can change margins. But as I outlined above, I'm not really making any argument for better/worse margins from a non-profit. Actually, I'm not making an argument that non-profits are any better at providing a service or surviving either. I was just adding a bit of information to the discussion.
I'm in the same boat, however, I've always dual-booted Linux using OSx for casual use and Linux for work. I'm not sure what I'll do hardware wise, because the terrible keyboard, lack of: function keys, esc key, and lack of magsafe make it unusable for my workflow. However, I've recently moved from awesomeWM to KDE Plasma as a DE with the Arc Dark theme. I have to say, I finally don't miss OSx with this setup.

Very useful, intuitive UX, Alfred like functionality out of the box, very nice UI (not just for linux, for anything!), productive workflow, and gets out of your way when you need to get things done.

I still have to find a hardware replacement with a great keyboard, solid trackpad, killer battery, and great display, but my OS concerns are finally resolved.

I live in the California Bay Area. I can't break down the Costco since in the past I have not saved receipts. I estimate that out of that $600 I spent about $50 on beer and wine, and maybe $150-200 on household supplies.

I'm working on getting better numbers, since it seems like a lot too, especially when I think about what I'm eating: toast for breakfast, leftovers for lunch, simple dinners. I'd really like to know!
> I'm wondering who in the hell chooses to drive, park, walk half a mile inside a flourescently-lit building, stand in line, pay, load a car, drive back to a house, and unbag groceries

I do. I have a list, so I'm pretty much on auto pilot in the store. This is 45 min that I can let my mind just shut down. Completely analog, no screens, no job, no worries. Nothing. Just walk the isles, load a cart and scratch a list.

> who doesn't particularly enjoy cooking, I'm wondering where the value proposition for groceries is when I can order from a huge variety of nearby restaurants,

If you don't enjoy cooking, then there really is no value proposition. Unless you think you may get to the point later in life where you wish you'd saved a bit more money. But you're young so you're still bullet proof.

> Considering there tends to be zero food waste with this option, I'm not sure I'm saving money by shopping for food...

With proper meal planning and preparing, there shouldn't be waste. But again, you don't enjoy cooking, so that's the hurdle.
On the plus side, if you do care about the purchase enough to give them an Email at that point you can probably abandon the cart and get a discount. :)

Not everything is a computer problem. It's more of an economic issue. You can deliver hand-picked only premium goods but it will cost.

High quality food delivery is certainly possible. From what I've seen of Instacart delivering from Whole Foods, it works pretty well. But it's a premium service and isn't available where I live.

Probably just MakingStuffUp.iso
If I'm understanding your question correctly, the single biggest obstacle in healthcare informatics today is interoperability. The industry grew up in a pretty ad hoc way and the result is that closed-off silos of data are pretty much the norm; every vendor has their own ideas about how data should be handled, and getting different systems talking to each other is a full-time job (my job, coincidentally).

HITECH and the ACA have forced the industry to start making meaningful steps toward real interop, but I'd say we're at least a decade out from it being less of a nightmare than it is now.
I would strongly disagree. Windows works pretty flawlessly nearly all the time these days. My only real complaint with it at this point is that so little of my dev stuff runs natively. If that weren't the case, I'd probably switch over.

The NSA Chief Has a Phone for Top-Secret Messaging.  How It Works
I just accepted a job kind of through this. It was with a big tech company but the recruiter ended up having me interview with a different team than the one advertised in the thread.

I submitted a thread yesterday about doing reviews for who's hiring companies but it seems like it was deleted or I didn't submit it correctly. I think there should definitely be more open dialog directly related to these companies posting.

I have had a lot of luck getting interviews through this process and I'm currently writing a blog post on how I approached it and tried to game my way in almost to interviews.

After reading the post by TheMog about the emails they received I can see now why putting in a little effort goes a long way for this.
Wow, I wonder how effective time-out was on infantrymen of the early 19th century and how often it was enforced. It seems like an analog to solitary confinement while still forcing you to be a contributing member of your armed forces.

Eventually all job hunters learn that you get the same response rate when you write one sentence cover letters as you do when you put a lot of effort into them.

Weird way to look at it. I would think a company that would accept a one sentence cover letter would also accept a longer cover letter, but that the inverse wouldn't be true.

As such, wouldn't a classic job seeker always sell to the longer-letter requirement, since they are otherwise automatically disqualifying themselves from an unknown percentage of employers?
OH I understand now, thanks!
Microsoft officially announces Teams – Slack should be very nervous
And the most recent whos hiring from yesterday I only saw one "cover letter required". I do that when I hire. I love reading them. So many are obvious boilerplate copy/paste that the applicant is sending to everyone, or, poorly written (these go to the trash can). The ones that are keen have a story to tell about how the position aligns with their experience.

On the applying side, I choose only 5 companies last time and wrote very strong cover letters. Got a call from all of them. HUGE time saver when job searching, be picky with who you apply to and craft a good cover letter.
By "sandbox" I meant that the central banks dealt directly only with major banks, who benefit and profit from being at the top of the money-creation chain.

Yeah, a roommate pays for about 4-5 dinners per week. I've also used the numbers from my budget categories since I'm happy on the rare months that we hit the limit on each and don't want to be labeled as low-balling my food to make eating out seem expensive. Cooking at home is cheap even if you give numbers this high.
When I see posts like this the prices often feel like they're chosen to be the best possible that could be achieved.

For instance, pre-made guacamole, if it's actually made entirely from real avocados, is more like $6 where I'm at if you want enough to feed 4 people multiple tacos each -- so twice the price you're quoting here.
This. I work for a mid sized adult company for over 4 years now and it definitely feels like a start-up. We try new things a lot, very little bureaucracy and a lot of interesting challenges. The industry is indeed secretive because of the way outsiders see it. But that can also be an advantage, you don't need to worry about a VC funded startup that will kick you out of the market by burning a ton of money. Only thing I worry about is the label I'm getting but I guess I will find out later on about that.

Everything you describe is how this works in much of the world, except remove the wheels.

The station near my work has three "supermarkets" within 50m of the entrance, catering to three different price brackets. There's nowhere to park, they sell very little other than food[1], and they only provide baskets -- they don't expect people to buy more than they can fit on a bicycle. They're open every day, from 7-22.

[1] They sell detergents and so on, but you can't buy a TV or a pair of jeans, or a huge box of anything.

This is true. I actually worked with the "service" at Amazon that made these decisions. For a company with a single warehouse, or even multiple warehouses with equivalent inventory selections, you shouldn't face this problem. But with Amazon, where the entire inventory selection couldn't even fit in 20 warehouses, you end up with a terrible NP complete problem whose solution quality can make or break profitability on pretty much any product with less than a 10% gross margin. And I say "service" because you can't really fit into a service oriented architecture when you have solve times in excess of 5 minutes...the "service" is really just a way of dumping problems onto a queue to be passed downstream when done.
> 3) I am 75 years old living with my wife who is 70 years old in the house that we bought in 1950. We are both retired farmers. Our pension is 500 euros in total. In 1950 the area we selected for our house turned out to be a popular one (in 1950 it was just an empty field).

This was regarded as a major incipient problem in California at once point. So a policy to address it was put in place - Proposition 13. It caps property tax increases to a quite low level.

Cities and counties cope by voting on a random assortment of taxes and assessments every two years. In major cities, where most people rent, this means property owners have their taxes go up very unpredictably. Though rarely more than single digit percentages.

This sounds great, but in practice it's created havoc. Turns out some solutions are worse than the problems.
Vine was warned by their power users and Vine ignored them.
You're paying for the service.

The parts of the food chain that enjoy economies of scale are in raising, harvesting/slaughtering, preparing, distributing, and cooking the food. Plating the food and bringing it to your table has no economies of scale, good service has diseconomies of scale, and dishwashing has only mild economies of scale.

There is a category of food - store-bought prepared, grab'n'go, and fast food - that actually does move the cooking to the institution, and these foods aren't much more expensive than prepping them yourself (certainly cheaper when you count the cost of labor). You have freshness & selection limitations on them, though: since non-refrigerated food goes bad within an hour or two after being cooked, they're limited to those items that can move in sufficient volume that at the scale they're being cooked, they'll sell within an hour.

I've owned leather seats in the past, properly maintenance requires more than just wiping with a damp cloth. Yes, you do have to use leather cleaner and conditioner if you want them to last a long time.

Cloth holds up much better to having drinks spilled on it than leather. The leather could potentially be permanently damaged if you don't clean it up quickly. Most cloth seats will just need paper towels. If you really don't clean it up for a long time you can steam clean cloth seats, which you cannot do with leather.

I'm wondering if maybe you've never had real leather seats and are mistaking pleather or vinyl for leather? Vinyl seats will hold up pretty well to abuse, but they are awful to sit in.

My cloth seats hold up fine to my dogs. Typically cloth seats nowadays are a lot more resistant to scratching and tearing than leather seats are.

Shin GRR: Make Fuzzing Fast Again
Its incredible how there's all this email related stuff in the press and not one word about email encryption. Pretty much everything supports S/MIME, yet almost no one uses it. The DNC hack could have been avoided if those emails were encrypted, for example. Hackers would then also have to get private keys on top of data. That's another layer to get through.

I suspect baby boomer led management think memorizing passphrases and using encryption is "too hard" and are calling the shots right now and we're all paying the price for it. We should be teaching each other and the younger generation that email encryption should be seen the same way we look at https now. Not too long ago https was regarded as for just 'credit card stuff only' because it 'cost time and resources.'

Its sad that something as critical as email doesn't have end to end encryption.
