I really wish "data" journalism did a better job of conveying uncertainty. It is incredibly common to see comments like such-and-such increased 10%, without any comment on what the number of such-and-such actually was or if the 10% change was statistically significant. Likewise journalists often make claims that are not supported by the research. Scientists don't have the reach to describe their results to the public, news organizations need to do a better job of conveying the results accurately.

It really is a time issue more than anything. Electric utilities in the US have had monthly data from the revenue meters for a long time and the process of switching to having lots of information available is ongoing.

Data at the distribution circuit has been available for longer, but you have to have folks who know what to look for and the process to do it.

There are companies which are starting to offer analytic packages that make all of the above much easier.

We have a huge problem with invoicing. We have this problem right now for like 2 years and it struggles us to scale. We sell services. We have about 40 of them and with every customer we sign agreement with different pricing on same services, due to B2B nature. We have some recurring services and some additional depending on usage. It is hard to write invoices every month for us, because we can't find right billing solution.

We are looking for something like this: Then we sign agreement with customer, we create template/profile with prices and services on billing system. Then we provide services, we just add/register quantity to that template/profile. At the end of month system writes invoice with recurring service and added additional not recurring services to invoice. It means one invoice for recurring and not recurring services.
I work for an energy company and we are working on providing this level of data to our customers at the moment. I think we are even looking at live usage measurement.
A lot of people are saying sales, but the meta problem as a solo founder is if you're not working nothing is happening. Even just one other person lets one of you do sales, and the product keeps getting built.

The state has taken the place of the father as the primary bread-winner amongst the working class in the west. Prior to universal welfare most women would never have risked pregnancy outside a stable relationship because of the financial risks. There are no risks now, in fact there is actually an incentive single mothers get more money via state benefits that a single women with similar qualifications can earn in work.

Yes, I've sort of half-heartedly considered this, without really exploring the idea very fully. Can you - or anyone else - recommend such a service? All they would really need to do is reach out to customers to check tallies on their projects and to see if they're finished, and then to generate invoices for said projects if they are. I guess this really isn't a difficult task!
Oh, Prop 13 causes HUGE problems. But CA homeowners being forced out by rising taxes isn't a problem.
No, that's what the CVV is for. It's only for card-not-present online transactions.

(Yes, there are probably a lot of retailers breaching their PCI-DSS compliance by storing the CVV, but the point is they're not supposed to. Until we can do chip-and-pin or similar for online purchases, e.g. Apple Pay, the problem remains)
Unfortunately one of the results of that trend has been a lot of young women with less-than-useful degrees and mountains of student loan debt, working rather low-paying jobs. Which, to be brutally honest, makes them rather unattractive marriage partners, all other things being equal.
The lentivirus has a number of capabilities - insert into cell, insert into DNA, replicate payload, build capsid, encapsidate payload, escape cell. In this particular case the lentivirus was used both for it's 'insert into cell' as well as its 'insert into dna' capabilities - with all others being stripped.

CRISPR (more specifically, Cas9) is another protein machine that locates particular DNA sequences [1]. It can help take over from the lentivirus with respect to the 'insert into dna' capability. But you're right, we still have no better way to get it into the cell than to use a (lenti)-virus's own 'insert-into-cell' machinery. So a lentivirus might be used along with CRIPSR in order to just get CRISPR machinery into the cell.

This is further muddled by the fact that sometimes you actually want the dna that encodes for your CRISPR system to itself be inserted into the genome, and in that case you might keep both the lentivirus's 'insert-into-dna' machinery AND the CRISPR's own 'insert-into-dna' capability.

At the end of the day, lentivirus's capability to insert into DNA is not predictable, and therefore a bit dangerous (if it inserts its payload in the middle of an oncogene in a predisposed cell you could get cancer). CRISPR is a device which promises to bring specificity to the command, making it 'insert-into-dna-AT'. And in that way it could replace the job of lentivirus in the above gene editing technique.

I also believe Amy. But I recognize that many don't. The story will have difficulty making an impact if people are easily attacking its authenticity.
Monzo is actually slightly better in telling people. I even got a push notification earlier saying the service was down, which a normal bank won't (or can't) do.
Wow, I knew there would be a markup but that is way more than I expected.
Hey, it's common knowledge that maleness is just a testosterone hack ;)
That is a straw man argument. Saying that a lot more money is spent elsewhere does not refute the potential effects of welfare.

Also claiming that tax reduction is a form of welfare if very disingenuous since basically that would mean the State would be entitled to take all of your profit by default... meaning any amount of profit allowed would be welfare.

I think you're being kind of mean. I love Forth, Lisp, and Python, and I'd encourage people prejudiced against them to give them more of a chance, but I can also understand how a language can just rub you the wrong way. (Personal example: Go. It has a lot to like pragmatically, but it wants you to code in a particular style. I'd rather code in mine.)
> Distro upgrades disable your repo by default

Have you considered filing a feature request with the distributions about this? I can see why they do it this way, but there are certainly ways around this problem. (For example, a repo's metadata could include references to the identical repo for other OS versions, so that an upgrade can automatically switch to the appropriate repo.)
Ah, but people still want to be in fashion, don't they?

CTO at Monzo here. We are really sorry about that.

One of the things we have learned from this incident is to proactively reach out to all customers as early as possible, even if it means alarming a large number of people.

We did tweet about the incident and updated our statuspage the moment we discovered it, but we didn't proactively message all customers until a few hours later.

It is certainly capable of making a good album.
"Privilege" is an original-sin like concept concocted entirely by sheltered sociologists who don't understand how to do science. It was predictable that they would come up with such a Puritanical and moralizing concept.

On a larger note, the "privilege" concept appeals to people on the left with moralizer- and justice-oriented, self-righteous personalities, who are in other words the psychological equivalent to the zealous religious conservative right (who they would likely have belonged to, had they been born a few decades earlier, since personality traits always precede political ideology). It's not just rationally incorrect, but pretty cringeworthy.

Where's the straw man I'm constructing? I'm just saying that no liberty is being eroded (in fact the opposite) and that any monetary objections to welfare are absurd in proportion to the frothiness spewed about in forums.

I've been on welfare before. It quite literally saved my life and helped me out big time. Now I run a very profitable business and give back much to the society and community that helped me out. Anyone who rants and raves about welfare probably hasn't actually been on it - it's almost a starvation wage, but it can make a serious difference.

The people who rant about 'freedom' and 'liberty' don't seem to mind when you give those up working for a private sector corp or the erosions caused by massive firms lobbying congress to write employment and tax laws in their favor.

Also corporate welfare isn't the same thing as regular "welfare" - try looking up some terms before you post in here so you don't look like a dumbass. Because "corporate welfare" is quite literally defined as the subsidy of private business by government using incentives such as tax reductions / abatements.
Sales is a really good skill to learn. The health of a business is directly measurable by the rate at which it is gaining new customers. That kind of direct feedback into your development efforts is incredibly valuable. When the going gets tough, I try to remind myself that it's likely easier for a technical person to learn sales, than for a salesperson to learn tech.
WTF is wrong with this dog, somebody come get it
I think it is worth seeing what's out there even if you're happy. Maybe there's something better!

The standard process where the first two steps are some ordering of a 1-hour interview with someone technical and a chat with a recruiter is perfect for this. With minimal effort (maybe 90 minutes) you find out whether they're interested in you at all, and get to ask both a technical person and a recruiter about the job.

The big time investment typically comes later, and I can easily bail if I decide it isn't going to be a compelling offer. I've done this quite a bit.

I'm glad the homework process worked for you, but my point that it doesn't seem like a good idea for the company stands. If the first thing you do is filter based on how badly applicants need a job, you're losing a significant portion of the best people right off the bat.
Or sideways. There's this tendency to look at the lower classes of history and assume that since we too are not 'the rich' our behaviour should follow the same patterns of our class in the past.

Today, the burden of household work has been cut to 1/10th of what it used to be, jobs are primarily intellectual, and education is paramount. The model to compare against is not the factory worker who was poor in the 1900s, and somehow due to a quirk of history became middle class in the 1950s.

We ought to compare against the gentleman class---those who in the 1900s had maids, butlers, personal transportation, and intellectual jobs akin to what we do today: management, clerking, accountancy, licensed professions, etc.

In those cases, people married sideways---intellectual women marrying men then helping to run the estate, daughters of merchants marrying other merchants and participating in the businesses, 'professional' socialites giving the entire clan a leg up by creating situations where networking was possible.

This is the position we have inherited, and if we must take lessons from the past--we should take lessons from the right class.
why don't you just raise your prices?

I can't really think of a specific, non-political reason to show the fee to the customer specifically on the payment terminal. If it's important to call it out, just put it on he invoice/receipt.

It seems an implementation using the pypy runtime might be a better idea.

..and from Cincinnati to. Oh Cincinnati.
China really has to do something to create their "own" companies. If they do nothing and the rest of the world decide to move manufacturing, either home or elsewhere, China will go back to be a poor 3rd. world country.

No one will be keeping their business in China due to not being able to get the same quality else where, or because the Chinese is such nice people to do business with. So it makes sense to fund and encourage new businesses so China can start to produce their own product, and not just be a big factory (and copy machine).
Wait, what? In a world where the population keeps increasing, automation is and will continue to drive unemployment, and environmental destruction is rampant... you're concerned that we're going to die out for lack of breeding?
When buying commodity items like most produce but in particular packaged goods, there's still an unsolved problem of "how much should I be paying for this?" and oftentimes I see even unit prices which are straight up miscalculated.

The problem seems compounded when shopping for this stuff online, when each individual item is so cheap, it takes too many clicks to realize how badly you are being ripped off.

I find even when grocery shopping online through a store's own site the prices are inflated over in-store. It compounds the anxiety over someone else picking low quality/old stock to the point where I won't grocery shop online as much as would really like to optimize the process.

I also find the menu system and scrolling lists of items an incredibly frustrating way to pick out the right gallon of milk.

I think the underlying fact is that it's extremely expensive for Instacart to provide their service.

I think an automated / lights out grocery store where you order through an app and drive by on the way home to pickup the food would be an order of magnitude more efficient. But you have to build the warehouse (like Amazon does) to allow robots to fill the order.

If you're paying for the overhead of food to be stocked on shelves nicely enough for picky customers to look at it, and then only after that point are you filling an online order, that's hugely wasteful.
This is an underrated comment -- it's a silent stressor. Need to take the day off for personal reasons? Company grinds to an absolute halt. Therefore, any moment you're not working becomes a stressful period of - "I should be working".
And yet among minorities in the UK the unemployment rate is almost twice as high (https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/jan/08/rising...) and while your selected chart shows a slightly higher unemployment rate for men than women (by 0.2%) it neglects a much lower labor force participation rate for women than for men (~8% lower according to OECD stats).
This language looks promising as hell, and I've enjoyed playing around with it a bit. The planned language design focus is rather enticing, but (honestly) maybe the biggest reason it attracts to me is simply the way its superficial appearance somewhat appeals to my love of Standard ML.

I don't see how those are equivalent.

I also don't see how the latter two questions are equivalent to asking an interviewee to "balance a red-black tree".
>(I also have the opposite problem when the customers actually pay, because they often batch many invoices together into one payment, which makes reconciliation surprisingly difficult. I wrote a little script in Python to make that easier - sort of along the lines of "Given this total, which of these invoices could potentially satisfy it?" - but it's still frustrating.)

Why not have accounts with client codes? Instruct clients to put their client codes in the narration(they won't always, but most will put something identifying themselves).

Instead of reconciling individual invoices, just sum the invoices of a particular client. If there's still an amount owing, it's for the most recent invoice(s).

Do you have any references for this?
I don't think you are aware of what you are claiming.

If something is "out there" as a specific concept as you claim, then it requires a perspective to isolate it as "a thing" which means you are basically claiming there must have been a creator.

If there is no creator then there is no perspective other than that of observers like us.

Unless you of course claim that the classical physical universe is fundamental not the quantum physical one.
Swerving is good way to get yourself killed. If you find yourself swerving to the center of the road without making sure there is no traffic trying to overtake at the moment, then you have to figure out what to do to avoid that.

Relying on each an every driver to leave enough space just in case you need to swerve is a losing proposition.
Well, sure, there's another point.

Programmers should have a similar guild/organization that medical doctors do, and people who abuse the ethics should be barred from practicing.
I've never used Instacart but it seems to be a weird thing to outrage over, when apparently you are told the final payment upfront, and you know you are ordering from a premium service that is fundamentally a luxury offering. And I'd expect most people to have some basic ballpark idea of how much everyday groceries cost.

Does this person also expect businesses to disclose their profit margins before he's comfortable doing business with them? Ever bought a bottle of water at a stadium? We're looking at several 100 percents of markup there.
