Nuclear power plants usually dump their tertiary cooling water into the ocean.

Nuclear plants also use cooling towers to lower the temperature before it dumped back into a lake/river/ocean. You can do a Google search, but those towers are hollow on the inside. Water runs down the inside walls and convection currents move up.

Cygwin has its own ANSI/VT100 emulation which is translated to Console API calls.

In the Cygnal project (http://www.kylheku.com/cygnal) I made a few fixes to this code.

With Cygnal you can write a terminal-oriented application using termios and VT100 escape sequences (or a library like ncurses if you wish). You just package it with the cygnal DLL, and any other DLL's. It will run fine in the console window.

For a demo of this, download the Windows installer for the TXR language.

https://bintray.com/kazinator/Binaries/TXR/txr-169

The txr.exe executable happily runs out of the cmd.exe console window with history, multi-line editing, etc. There is not a shred of Win32 code in TXR: it's just (a much enhanced fork of) the Linenoise library which uses termios and ANSI codes. Not a single #ifdef WIN32 in there.
In the early part of the 20th century, accepted moral values (the values that society could agree on) did not include voting rights for blacks or women. Our society does not always reflect absolute right or wrong.

Here is a straw man for you if you need the point made a little stronger and a little more ridiculous: what you're advocating for is that owning human beings, treating blacks as less than human, keeping them from voting, etc was right and was a completely moral act. I mean it was legal, and most everyone agreed with it. A lot of Germans agreed with the Nazi's treatment of Jews, too. Hell even Americans did when we locked the Japanese-Americans in internment camps. Was that morally right? Because society agreed on it?

Or maybe subjective moral opinions of the day aren't the best reasons to take away people's freedoms.
Open calls to genocide are legitimate speech protected by the first amendment. Only speech likely to produce imminent lawless action is banned---so there has to be a target and a plausibly exhorted actor right there.
You are not covered for property damage with a renter's insurance policy. The $100,000 coverage is for liability (e.g. a guest slips and falls and she's you.)

You are also covered by a smaller amount (e.g. $10,000) for your personal property.

What? no. "AI" is the marketing name for "machine learning, now with 100% more chat bots". Most "machine learning" is not "complex algorithms". It's mostly just support vector machines, clustering algorithms, and some off-the-shelf neural networks whose behavior is well understood. Whether that's the case here isn't clear, but a project like DeepMind is not representative of AI in the wild.

If it does somehow manage to ruin countless lives, it won't be because of AI. I don't think AI did anything at all for me when I signed up; I didn't even use a chatbot, I just answered the same questions I answered on every other insurance quote, and happened to get a better price with sweeter terms than I got at any other insurer. It also didn't do anything for me when I filed a claim: they have a clearly-defined policy like any other insurer, and I worked directly with a (human) agent to get my claim resolved. The AI stuff is a marketing gimmick.

If it ruins any lives at all, it'll be because the company is selling insurance for a fixed, below-market rate. But Dan Ariely isn't stupid, and I assume they'll at least be able to honor their existing contracts in the event of some kind of widespread catastrophe.
"You can't reimburse the workers the full value of their labour"

But this is exactly the point.

* Assume that hamburger ingredients cost $2.
* Assume that hamburgers sell for $5 each.

==> Net added value per hamburger is $3.

* Assume that a worker can make 1 hamburger per hour manually.
* Assume that the same worker can make 10 hamburgers per hour after the business owner has invested in a $300 hamburger machine.
* Assume that the same worker can make 100 hamburgers per hour after the business owner has invested in a $1000 hamburger machine.

==> Is the "full value of the worker's labor" $3 / hour, $30 / hour, or $300 / hour?

The worker's value add is not solely dependent on the worker and the products being created, but also on the capital invested by the business owner (and other factors). Just because the worker is not paid the entire economic value added being produced by the business does not mean s/he is being exploited.

I understand it's not the most conventional way of doing it, but why it's someone "higher up" and that's a bad thing? Instacart is not Mother Teresa, its sole purpose is to make profit and I want it to do that as much as it possibly can. I want this service to exist so I don't have to feel like a chimp in a grocery store with a basket going from aisle to aisle in fact why do I even need to justify why I want it to exist? I am willing to give them my money for the services they provide, period.

Python was included in the list of things considered not to be in this category; I probably agree with you on that one, but the idea behind my question was that the languages listed as not "average garbage-collected language using a virtual machine" included several that I'd include in that category.

Pooling tips is quite common place in the restaurant industry, this isn't exactly a new way to f* over workers. While this move will reduce the pay for some shoppers, it will help many shoppers that earn less in tips for structural reasons. Ie. servicing low-income neighborhoods, racism & sexism from the tipper, etc
I disagree. In the example, I think, they've been robbed.
You can look at the gradients into the neural network and see what features are changing the output and by how much. This approach is called LIME, see https://github.com/marcotcr/lime
I've learned this once talking to one of the shoppers. I never tipped again after that / I tip in cash for the good ones once they deliver at my door.
This sort of invites the question of what you WOULD be interested in working on (and what size team you've been leading) if you were to consider leaving.

I don't disagree that tipping has a lot of problems. However, instacart is intentionally using "dark patterns" in UX (names, positioning) to mislead end users into thinking paying a higher service fee goes to the driver.

There was a far easier way to do this (a fixed order charge which is clearly an instacart fee, and then a separate tip clearly marked as per driver) -- the right solution would probably be to do like Amazon and reduce the fixed order charge or eliminate it when customers buy certain high margin items, make large orders, or sign up for a subscription.
I'm unclear why I would tip my Instacart delivery person. I order A, B, and C; my expectation is that A, B, and C show up, because that is what I paid for. How can a particular delivery person do that "better" enough to deserve a tip?

Your salary is lower because it started lower, and there's an unwritten rule in the industry to never hand out disproportionate raises. I was lucky enough to have a couple of jobs that broke the rule, and as a result I believe my salary is in line with my degreed contemporaries.

The degree gives you an edge in two important ways. First it qualifies you at those places who absolutely demand a degree, whether you believe in their reasoning or not; having a smaller pool of opportunities will always be a handicap. Second, if a hiring decision ever comes down between you and a person with a degree, the degree will become the tie-breaker.

On the flip side, the places that won't consider you without a degree might be the places you wouldn't want to work anyway.

I work in property insurance, and I'm curious as to how lemonade got their product past state regulators if it's truly some whiz-bang AI or machine learning stuff driving their model. Most states want to be able to review and understand filings, and a black box isn't conducive to that. Maybe they're using it for feature selection?

Edit: Found one of their filings on SERFF public filing access. Lookup WESA-130711665 on https://filingaccess.serff.com/sfa/home/NY if you're interested. 'Rate Support.pdf' has the meat.

It doesn't look like anything special, honestly. They admit most of it is copied from the largest insurers in the state, and they use a proprietary credit model from Transunion. This makes sense given that they don't have any data to train it on since they're, you know, new.

The shoppers are not the same as the delivery people. I know this because I have worked as a shopper. While I was working for Instacart, the model of how the drivers/shoppers were tipped or paid was in flux, so I'm not sure what the current model is.
Any idea that can't be tested or challenged at any point of time, I am worried about such an idea. No idea is fundamentally true or absolutely right in all contexts.

There's an English idiom "sweating bullets" [0] which refers to a state of panic or dread, possibly with the image that droplets of sweat are being forced out at speed.

I believe the author is replacing "bullets" with "BBs" [1] to fit the youthful 21-year-old protagonist. BBs are a much tamer kind of spherical projectile popularized by a variety of teen-toys. The actual origin of "BB" goes back to serious guns again, as a defined size of metal buckshot pellets.

1) They arent senior level to be put in charge of handling major changes on production

2) They are the type of person that tries to hide screw ups from the rest of the team.

As a previous shopper who was intensely driven by high tips, I can guarantee this will have a big effect on the levels of motivation the shoppers will have.

The title IX investigation was ridiculously mishandled, agreed, and the two grad student complainants also allege it was mishandled [2]. The whole thing involves at least 4 title IX investigations and four+ lawsuits if you're going to count the original sexual harassment lawsuits Kipnis wrote about in her Chronicle article (which is where she made the initial factual errors that led to some of the subsequent title IX complaints). I have to say, none of this was about anything she taught: it was about her commentary in a national publication on specific ongoing harassment lawsuits and countersuits.

The 7510 probably will not meet the tradeoffs of most people. It is heavy and has mediocre battery life. On the other hand, it can be had with more CPU than most desktops and ECC RAM and a fair amount of GPU and a lot of screen.

Yes and no: yes you can get a Quad-Core 64GB RAM + SSD server for $55/month (source: https://www.hetzner.de/de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex51ss...).
But there's one more spec that matters: networking. It takes completely different amount of effort to provide 1Gbps connectivity versus 40Gbps per server.

Most of the providers like Hetzner/OVH provide former, while GCE provides the latter. I'm not saying it's bad, in fact for most of the people 1Gbps would be more than enough. But it's not something that is fair to omit.

Is that acceptable? Other wealthy nations are improving much more rapidly. Certainly the U.S. could be doing better. It's immoral, a tragedy, and an embarrassment.

From the article;

The reasons for the United States' lag are well known. It has the highest infant and maternal mortality rates of any of the countries in the study, and the highest obesity rate. It is the only one without universal health insurance coverage and has the “largest share of unmet health-care needs due to financial costs,” the researchers wrote.

Tellingly, the United States was the first high-income country to see a halt to the pattern of increasing height in adulthood, a reliable indicator of improving public health, according to Majid Ezzati, a professor of public health at Imperial College London, who led the research team.

Some Americans get a “bad start to life in nutrition and education” and suffer “high rates of homicide,” Ezzati said. “And then lack of universal insurance. Some people probably get diagnosed too little and too late.
