In Ontario (maybe Canada, maybe many countries?) if you recycle a beer bottle, it gets melted down and re purposed. If you return a beer bottle to the beer store, it gets cleaned and refilled, which I expect is considerably more efficient.

Not dismissing the negative issues related to these people, there seems to be potential for them to be doing a considerable service for our communities.
I've actually got an x220 with the original 6-cell and a slice battery, which puts me at 6 hours unplugged. It's not very impressive tbh, but it's been worth what I paid for it.
I find Tab Snooze (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-snooze/pdiebia...) to be better for my tab hoarding needs. I feel that if I wanted to organize all my tabs I would just use bookmarks to do so rather than Toby. With Tab Snooze, tabs will automatically recall themselves on a set schedule - once or recurring - or "someday" randomly which is fun. I did install Great Suspender which will also help me a lot.
It certainly does, but my XPS 13 lasts ~7 hours running Fedora 25 and my work-issued W540 gets around the same (this is a stupid beast of the machine that only gets that much running Windows, a 40W quad-core i7 in a laptop isn't power sipping when I'm building something in Visual Studio or IntelliJ). It's getting a lot better as long as you're not running a Skylake chip, Haswell/Broadwell and below have pretty decent support these days.
> What inconsistent values are they forcing on other countries, which they attack other countries for not doing, but actively fail to follow themselves?

The question is kinda convoluted and involves a triple negative, but I'll try - aren't things such as "peace", "protecting human rights", "independent judicial system" and "equality of all people before law and court" some of the values declared by Russia?

> Russia doesn't do this stuff at all AFAIK.

Well, invasion of Crimea was later re-justified as an attempt to protect the rights of the Russian-speaking population (which quickly erased and replaced the previous message of "there were no Russian troops in Crimea"). Any conversations with Baltic countries involve protection of rights of Russian-speaking population within Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Russian military bases in Moldova exist to protect the rights of the Russian-speaking population, and 2008 Georgia invasion was justified by human rights agenda as well. Military operation in eastern Ukraine was just a friendly and helpful gesture to help the [perceived] victims whose basic human rights were allegedly violated.

What project that users pay for has Google deprecated/discontinued without a long advance warning?
I'd agree with others that it (t530) feels flimsy, it creaks and moans when I moved it. However it did fly off a car (in a backpack) at 85mph in the middle of Nebraska and survived with only minor damage. I was sold on the build quality, regardless of the sound it made. What killed me and eventually drove me to buy a mac was the size, weight and battery. I'd love to not be on mac, but still nothing else has been a compelling enough option. I hope this changes by time I am ready for something new.
10.6 was great for the time, I was actually really pissed after 10.7 and many releases afterward fucked up Expose during the Mission Control debacle (I think there's now a way to turn off the window grouping, but this was what ended up making me sell my 2012 MBP and switch to Fedora since GNOME 3 manages to have all the comfort features I liked from macOS).
I have a pixel and an iPhone 6. Several close acquaintances with 7s. I have no idea what OP is talking about, but everyone I've talked to that sees the pixel and has an iPhone tends to have the reaction of "Wow, I'd actually consider dumping my iPhone after seeing that". Heck, one buddy actually returned the 7 and bought a Pixel because he was so frustrated with the 7 (didn't like the new home button, lack of headphone jack, buggy iOS updates, etc).

I'm not sure what about it he considers a "joke", but it's one of the best phones I've ever owned. It's what Android was always meant to be.
Can you not run Fedora on a MBP? And if you can/could, how would the comparison still stack up?

Cool, I read all of the BPP pages a while back. I wonder what happened to them, they seem to have been down for a while.

I had always wondered about something there, though it isn't related to the EM Drive. The original pages posted a few numbers claiming that even with a Fusion rocket-based propulsion system, interstellar travel was still wildly impractical, like thousands of supertankers of propellant to send a Space Shuttle-sized capsule past the nearest star system in 900 years without stopping. Yet many Sci-Fi and semi-scientific sources make it seem as if nuclear rockets are a viable interstellar propulsion. I always wonder who's right, and if I can find some more detailed numbers to back it up either way. Thought about it enough that I might actually try and calculate it myself one of these days.
I was a lead once, and had an employee that was slow. He took 3 days to make a tool that should only have taken 1 day. He would sometimes get stuck on a bug for hours, and would stay late or come in early to try to figure it out. Sometimes the bugs turned out pretty obvious (to me).

But he had one quality that I really appreciated as a lead: he persisted in what he was doing until he got it done, and without complaining or needing any prodding. So I actually did not mind much at all that he was slow, because I could "fire and forget" him at something that was important but not urgent.

In fact, the main problem I had with him, was that sometimes he would get really angry about some code or a bug, and slam his fist on the desk and/or swear. I mentioned it but you know how code is, when you're really engaged with it, the process can be emotional, and it was hard for him to temper those impulses. It was never really bad, although I was aware that not everyone wanted to pair with him. Which was fine, we generally worked around it, but when allocating tasks, he sometimes got the short end of the stick because of it.

Everyone wants their employees to be the trifecta of talented, hard-working, and nice to work with. But most employees are missing one of those traits, and some are missing two. You sound like a diligent worker but maybe not a genius. That really should be okay for both you and them, and if your manager is good he will appreciate that. But consider, are you nice to work with? If you have a choice, maybe spend your effort that way, instead of worrying that you're not talented (enough).

So far the comments are about the folding company (probably to be expected given the title), however for those of us not plugged into the meteor ecosystem - does this reflect at all on the general meteor ecosystem?

Probably simpler accounting then. I have a lot of individual invoices to keep track of + multiple revenue streams, some of which have sales taxes, some don't.

(You have been keeping invoices, right? You need those in case of audit, which will almost certainly happen at some point).

I'm assuming you are declaring all expenses which are business expenses. If you're doing that and the number of invoices is small, then you probably have a fundamentally simpler business than most businesses.

Might still be worth a one off conversation with a good tax lawyer or accountant to see if you're making any business-101 level errors. If you've never had that sort of conversation, it's somewhat likely.

Example: in Canada, most entrepreneurs I know have no idea that health insurance is a business deduction, and that they can get group health insurance through a chamber of commerce. This usually pays for itself due to the tax deduction plus reimbursements. So there may be similar no brainer, no maintenance changed you could make, once.

This might sound like sophistry, but invading a country is not the same thing as trying to export and enforce a country's own political ideals.

If you just look at a map, NATO has been steadily pushing towards Russia ever since the USSR fell. They have legitimate security concerns and want to have a friendly government on their border, for the simple reason that Russia doesn't trust us.

What they're not doing is dismantling the country and trying to rebuild it from scratch, like the US has been trying in Iraq.

Can't beat that.

I don't know, is Russia exporting peace and judicial equality in Crimea, Donetsk, or Syria? Was that a core requirement of their agenda when they intervened? I've never seen it being exported by them but I could be wrong. They seemed to be entirely motivated by preventing western power plays in their regions. I doubt they'd put serious pressure on the new Ukraine republics or Assad if they were acting authoritarian, suppressed political dissent, controlled the media, etc. Last time I checked that was happening in all of those places. Just as it is in Russia.

But if they are doing that earnestly that would be similarily ineffective and damage their credibility. Worst of all you hand then excuse to ignore it, they can point out the hypocrisy and maintain their internal/external polticial support.

That's the main point really. Consistency for consistencies sake it not the goal.

> For every piece of softare they buy from a 9 person ISV they probably run tens of millions of dollars of software from IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, Adobe, etc. Or custom made software developed by one of the large shops. And that's going to be the vast majority of the attack surface.

Vulnerabilities are not proportional to software price. That's the whole problem. IBM software is very expensive and complicated but you don't see a lot of CVEs. OpenSSL costs no money and much trouble.

Yet you have projects like OpenSSH that are free, by all accounts have a strong security record, but once or twice a decade there is a serious vulnerability. And because of how and where it's used, liability for that would destroy them.

Meanwhile Adobe would sooner stop distributing Flash Player than fix it, and all this does nothing about the admin who leaves the database server open to the internet with the default password.

Ah. I guess personally this is less of an issue because I stick to after market laptops, not new ones, and I know where to look to replace stuff like the WiFi module (had no idea Broadcom chipsets didn't have Linux drivers). Can't justify the price.

On the security point, SuperFish was on a different product line - Ideapads, Lenovo's consumer line (with quality that parallels Dell's consumer stuff) - and I would have no trouble believing that some idiot SVP in the chain of command who had nothing to do with Thinkpads made that decision.

For me it's honestly the TrackPoint and the modularity of the laptops. There's just nothing else out there that comes close to what Lenovo figured out 10 years ago, unfortunately.
> A strictly capitalist solution would be for health care providers to charge significantly higher prices for the same treatment of a fat patient vs normal BMI patient to compensate for the increased health care costs associated with caring for obesity, risks and comorbidities. Currently that is not allowed.

Nah, because this is a terrible outcome on a few levels. Let's cut over it:

1. BMI is widely acknowledged as a terrible metric of health best relegated to old high school textbooks about "overall health-wellness". It's basically statistical noise outside extreme outliers on either end of the spectrum. And yet, people here keep offering it because they seem opposed to modern health education.

2. Capitalism is ultimately built on a foundation of a relatively stable workforce. Without a constant infusion of human capital it's profoundly shortsighted and suboptimal to simply let people die in the streets. It takes time to train people, and so it makes sense to maintain their health.

3. The cheapest healthcare by leaps and bounds is preventative. So if we take it as a given that a stable workforce is good for the long term growth of industry then it makes sense for us to act early, prescriptively and preventatively.

Of course, I personally find these motivations vile. It is a profoundly silly idea that unguided capitalism should be the gatekeeper of health care. A more mercurial and senseless angel of death you could not dream in your darkest nightmares.

But unless we're happy with a society built on building lots of money for a few people in castles surrounded by dead bodies, we probably need to reconsider our stance on health care.

And I'm a bit disturbed at the confidence you show in debating this subject given how many misconceptions you seem to have about it.

I'm sure you can run a decent Linux on MBP; I've been running Arch on my MBP for 2.5 yrs now, and it's been great, bar a couple of hiccups. In fact currently it works better than MacOS; MacOS refuses to wake up after shutting the lid.
Okay, let's use another example. I waited tables in high school. I was very bad. I knew I was bad, but I worked hard to improve. Still, even after a few years of experience a random person who had never had a job before could walk in and get better tips than me. My boss wouldn't fire me because I showed up for shifts, but I was generally a very poor waiter. Eventually I got smart and stopped waiting tables, and the world became a better place.

It's very possible to be bad at something AND know that you're bad at it AND not be able to reach the proficiency to perform the task at a professional level.

Also, it's pretty clear that I can read. If you are going to insult me, it's better to insult my comprehension or argumentation. However, I would argue that it's generally better to just not insult other people.
Off the cuff, look through the criticisms and try to figure out how to make your marketplace 10x better. If you can, talk to the people who made those criticisms directly to get even more information. These can even become your first users.

Also, users should probably be matched based on language and other similarities. For example, an architecture student would match with architecture grads who did programs in english.

Good luck!

Family has a way of making you want to make order out of chaos, to tie yourself to humanity of the past, to create and carry on traditions that were part of the formation in you. And you can understand this inside and from the outside and see it as a good thing. You see the benefits of religion and realize the futility of arguing the inconsistencies of any given holy book. Because real life will present you with even more of them on a weekly basis.
Homicide rates - and some other crimes - are massively distorted by small, high-crime urban areas.

If you pluck out the data a very small number of residents from specific hoods in Detroit, Chicago, DC etc. - the 'rest of America's' homicide rates start to look more sane.

If you pluck Aboriginal crime out of Canadian crime stats, the numbers start to look like those of Northern Europe.

I think this is important because random crimes that happen in 'normal circumstances' may not be a function of the crazy social dysfunction in certain neighbourhoods.

I'm not saying anything political here, I do believe anyone murdering anyone else is 'responsible' for it and can't just blame the fact that their dad was in jail, mom absent, schools sucked etc. - however - those are obviously massively correlating factors in some areas, much more than others.

If I were pres, I would basically have a 'national crime / social reconstruction strategy' focused on those 'bad areas' that comprised of a bunch of things.

Most of America is within the range of 'normal' for homicide - but still considerably more violent than other advanced nations.
Obviously nobody actually knows, I just find it interesting to ask people for their prediction.

It's been 20 years away for the last 80 years, right?

(Heavy Spark user here)

Comparing Spark and TensorFlow is sort of like comparing Numpy and Pandas. There is some overlap, but they are pretty different things.

Spark is a big data manipulation tool, which comes with a somewhat-adequate machine learning library. TensorFlow is an optimised math library with machine learning operations built on it.

Spark doesn't support GPU operations (although as you note Databricks has proprietary extensions on their own cluster). DeepLearning4J and various other libraries do similar things.

However, if you are building your own Neural Network architectures then TF (which has highly optimised distributed training mode) is more useful.
