My takeaway that in all of the initial "no"s, no one had actually looked at what they were saying no to. He had to be told "maybe" before he was even allowed to explain what the product was.
Instacart would benefit from keeping inventory data synced more accurately, but ultimately Instacart offers a solution in the form of the shopper making a reasonable decision.

Instacart used to prompt the buyer to approve all substitutions, but it got tiresome pretty quickly. Now you can still do that, but the default experience lets the shopper make the (usually obvious) choice.

Grocers do not always have everything in stock, and so I think Instacart's solution is the best I've seen so far. If you are someone who wants to know the exact total in advance, then request no substitutions, it's very simple.
Off-topic, but you seem to have a really educated perspective in this sector. I'm interested and working on something in it with a lot of potential (hopefully) but lack experience.

> Which is the problem with "class" in a nutshell.

Which is not new with Javascript in general. every single feature in javascript suffers from being strangely familiar while having a behavior specific to Javascript. Comparison operators, var declaration hoisting,function declaration hoisting, "this", "typeof" operators,type equality and coercion rules, and co, all require to actually learn how the language works. This isn't a very good argument against the class keyword. Yes, developers who use a language need to learn it before hand. It applies to all languages.

Blood doping is exceptionally safe- like aspirin level safe.

What if there was a shoe insert that could fracture and destroy your foot? That would probably be less safe than blood doping.

Plus, professional athletes already compromise their health. From TBI in football (both kinds) to knee damage in professional runners, you have to admit there is a ton of grey area- and I believe most professional athletes already damage their body more through the 'unadulterated' pursuit of their sport than a regular one of us would through blood doping.

"A border state to Russia has its elected government toppled and a group of various opposition powers (including neo-nazis) comes to power with strong anti-Russian sentiments. This state has areas with huge populations of Russian ethnicity that don't like the new situation and feel threatened. Russia moves in to those places to protect them. "

Oh, now I understand where your position on conscription [1] comes from.

Russian info space, apart from this "protecting russians from nazis" war propaganda, is also full of serving-your-country/patriotism propaganda. And it's ridiculous how far reaching it is. Some russians even take pride in not hiring people, who didn't serve. So, this is where your views come from.

> My friends and I talked about this once, we believe there should be two leagues - a standard league with rules and a no-limit league where you can dope as much as they want. They will push the limits of the human body and my bet is that our first mutants will come from this league.

Thing is strength sports have this already and no one who doesn't themselves compete is really beating down the doors to watch them. Powerlifting is divided into drug tested and untested, but is there a meaningful difference to the casual Sports Center viewer seeing a clip of a dude squatting 477.5kg drug tested in knee sleeves vs 485kg untested in knee wraps? MMA has grown in popularity as the UFC has gotten really serious about in- and out-of-competition testing. A coworker joked that he wanted to see cage fighting with an "anything goes" drug policy but we already had that a few years ago and he was watching the same amount of it then as now: 0. The NFL for all intents and purposes has no drug testing and it basically owns a whole day of the week for 40% of the year in the U.S., but if it ever gets serious about testing I don't think that would really detract from the spectacle of it all.

Point is: I used to think this too but I don't actually see much of value prop in doing this.

The implication seems to be that they took away a car lane to make a bike lane. It's entirely possible that the car lane was going away anyway, and they simply used the left-over space to make bike lanes.

So why did they take away the car lane, if not to make bike lanes? From what I've read, and observed here in Redmond, WA, is that the current fashion is to reduce four lane streets to three lanes (two directional, one center turn lane). The goal is to slow traffic in residential areas and...I forget what the other goals are. Anyway, it's a thing now. In your situation, perhaps they took away lanes to meet the current fashion, bike lanes just being the icing on that cake, or maybe they really did do it put bike lanes in.
A large part of success is not having good ideas, it is in having good execution.

Singapore Math has had years of refinement to get where it is. Common Core is just starting down that road.

And for the record, Singapore Math absolutely does teach "standard math algorithms". They just build up to them in pieces so that the algorithm will be dead obvious when they finally present it. There is a world of difference between this and confusing kids with 3 different algorithms, leaving them with no idea which is which or how to keep them straight.

But now we come to this...

The major complaint from parents with this seems to be they can't understand it. But that's exactly the point: their kids are supposed to be getting a more rigorous education (in the sense of understanding vs. being able to find an answer).

Excuse my language for a moment.

Do you have any fucking idea how condescending it is to receive this type of bullshit response to my complaint? I'd be willing to bet money that my background in and understanding of math is more extensive than yours, and CERTAINLY more so than the vast majority of proponents of Common Core that I see this from. Should you disagree, please provide evidence of your graduate degrees in math, placement in the top 100 on the Putnam, published research papers, or public tutorials explaining complex math concepts on par with http://www.elem.com/~btilly/kelly-criterion/ or http://elem.com/~btilly/effective-ab-testing/.

The problem is NOT that my son's ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER is giving him a MORE RIGOROUS math education than I received. It is that she FAILED TO TEACH him. Full. Stop. She FAILED to TEACH him.

Even so, on the standardized tests that we use to measure this fucking bullshit, HE WAS BETTER THAN 95% OF KIDS HIS AGE IN CALIFORNIA. This was true DESPITE his lacking basic skills like long multiplication!

In other words he is what Common Core proponents will cite AS A GODDAMNED SUCCESS!!! And yet I had to spend my fucking time and money to fix their failure. And not, I assure you, due to any lack of ability on his part. His scores relative to other California children are a testament to THAT fact.

Language warning off.

Please read my rant multiple times, and try to put yourself into my shoes. And hopefully you'll think twice before dismissing other people's feedback in such a condescending manner.
What the heck is data turking?
@sillysaurus, it also saddens me when Westerners schrilly dismiss their countries as corrupt or undemocratic when if the just looked around at the rest of the word and see how much they have, which they ought be proud of and protect. But their are two caveats:

First, the west is freer than the rest because it is more able to criticize even the little things.

Second, electronic surveillance is not longer even one of the little things. It happens out of sight, and mostly out of mind, so authorities now act without the kinds of restraint usual in the west. And rich western governments are actually more capable of this sort of thing that most others.
Are they? If so, we may have finally reached the point where the Bill of Rights (as fantastic as it is) no longer can adequately address modern abuses and communication patterns. Remember that the American agencies aren't the only intelligence agencies in the world.

Sticking with the CIA, though, let's say we apply the bill of rights in its most stringent interpretation; then the CIA can't hack into anything that any American might use to communicate to, without an American warrant. That would be totally unrealistic, and the result would be no tech toys for the CIA. They would be at a significant disadvantage compared to other intelligence and manipulation agencies around the world.

Or perhaps another spin on it... does the Bill of Rights apply in the case where an ISIS combatant is firing on a US Marine, where the combatant happens to be an American? The Marine won't know that, and will treat them as a combatant. The Bill of Rights doesn't seem to apply in this case. Given that to be the case, then should the Bill of Rights apply where the CIA is hacking into equipment that a non-American is using and might use to communicate with an American?

I'd hardly call my calls intrusive, a simple "What's the problem" followed by an explanation and a cursory "I'm on it." is usually all that the rest of the bus hears. Are you all really that precious?

People shouting in to their phones however... I feel like it's the kind of person with zero self awareness or care for their external, social impact that ruin it for the rest of us :P
I would stay up very late after the kids were in bed, because I was unwilling to give up on the day. This meant I was never around to help in the mornings, and would routinely sleep in 'till 11 or so on weekends, while my ex-wife got up with the kids at 6 am.

This, coupled with reduced income due to bootstrapping a business created too much relationship damage to recover from.
Hydroponically means "using water as a medium", so not bringing your own soil and depending on whether there's water available on Mars. You would still need to put nutrients in the water, but it would be a path to take until you get composting working.
We build systems that let our customer manage their video, and usually in large quantities. Some of this video spans a very long period of time and the only description that they have of it is in the filename.

Getting proper structured metadata from content has traditionally been expensive as it has required humans, sometimes trained as librarians, so providing the ability to extract some meaning from video becomes valuable.

Even for systems that have trained librarians, it can still help to have the ability to have a system that highlights the general content so they can further refine it and bring it inline with a taxonomy.

Google Vision API also helps because the metadata can be placed against timecode, further helping the ability to search for particular subjects within a video that might otherwise not be found easily from quickly browsing the videos.

There are other use cases depending on the customers need (such as a customer making sure that certain things are not in video about to go to air), but none of it has to do with marketing.

It sounds like you believe it to be self-evident that pay equality was a problem in the past but not presently. What, to your mind, has made pay between the sexes equal in the last fifty years?

While I grant you that people have made the issue more visible, I don't see any reason to think pay somehow became equal. On the contrary, studies insist that the problem persists to this day.
Sure, I do define classes but that's because React expects it -- I don't actually use them as classes. My React classes would function the same as plain old objects. I never use constructors, or inheritence, or new, or any of the features mentioned in this post.

1). Operating on how the world should work and not how it practically works.

2). "We believe that developing alternative business models to the startup status quo has become a central moral challenge of our time. These alternative models will balance profit and purpose, champion democracy, and put a premium on sharing power and resources. Companies that create a more just and responsible society will hear, help, and heal the customers and communities they serve ... The capital system is failing society in part because it is failing zebra companies: profitable businesses that solve real, meaningful problems and in the process repair existing social systems." Conflating start-ups (and business) with charities. Using an inefficient model for resource distribution in enterprise.

3). "Think of our most valuable institutions — journalism, education, healthcare, government, the “third sector” of nonprofits and social enterprises — as houses upon which democracy rests. Unicorn companies are rewarded for disrupting these, for razing them to the ground. Instead, we ought to support companies that provide extreme home makeovers." Resistance to change.

4). Encouraging "sustainable prosperity" for a startup whose main goal is to become a profitable business, instead of exponential growth.

5). "Sustainable, 2x exit." Slowing down future entrepreneurial pursuits with an arbitrarily exit limiter.

6). "Plurality." I assume this means "heavily democratic," which is deadly for startups.

7). "Win-win instead of Zero-Sum." I.e I assume "compromise." Self-explanatory (SE).

8). "Cooperation instead of competition ... mutualism." SE.

9). "Shared resources instead of hoarded." See: #2

10). "Seeks enough instead of more." SE.

There's more, but there's a quote about how much effort it takes to retort bullshit in comparison to how little it takes to spout it.

The author brings heavy socialist overtones and a naive worldview on how businesses work. I'm not one to deny other's opinions solely because they have no experience, but in this case most of her points can be invalidated by going out and testing her zebra plan.

This might be true for things like exploits, where every time you use them you stand a chance of burning them, so you're incentivized to keep using whatever's working. But it's not true of rootkit and implant techniques; in fact, the opposite is true: the dumber your implants, the more likely it is that your target will discover you compromised them.
Certainly. I just meant that the CIA seems less likely to have that than the NSA or the FBI. But admittedly it's an uneducated guess.

Could you expand on why you feel the CIA in particular would have high-quality remote exploitation capabilities? Assume a talented hacker wants to join the government. Why would they choose to work for the CIA and not the NSA or the FBI?

I'm not saying the CIA does second-rate work in general, but perhaps their remote access work is second-rate in comparison to the NSA/FBI and to the very talented echelons of the private sector.
This is the slogan of a post-9/11 (and ongoing) MTA campaign that's been borrowed by the Department of Homeland Security and many other agencies around the country and the world since.

I believe the original intent was mostly about reporting unattended bags that could contain bombs, not reporting your neighbor for hosting a socialist book club or whatever. Obviously it's vague and broad enough that it could be bent to more sinister purposes though.
