When I got mine after black friday, I made an chicken curry (my own spice blend) and it was fantastic. Total time from start to finish was about 30 minutes and only 10 of that was prep time, cutting onions/meat, blending spices, sautéing and roasting the spices. I think I did 8 minutes on high pressure, then natural pressure release. I've also made steel cut oats, jambalaya, rice, chili, and bean soup from dried beans. Clean up is easy which is a big plus in my book.

Idiomatic coding is ultimately premised on "following the grain of the compiler", with the language as a front-end abstraction to the compiler's various technologies(type checks, optimizations, etc.) - it can be seen as a way of minimizing bottlenecks that would occur when doing something that the compiler can't optimize well or the language can't express well. And for a lot of application code, that's sufficient. You write simple constructs, they get optimized away, everyone's happy.

However, for a compiler writer, it isn't sufficient. They're in the business of being the bottleneck! As such, they quickly enter a space where they have to set down their own principles for what idiomatic code looks like and how much they allow abstractions to leak upwards, negotiating those principles against the ecosystem of real-world code.

A consequence of this is that a compiler that only has to operate on a single codebase has it easy, because all its optimizations can be customized to the problem domain and target devices, while more generalized compilers have a dynamic optimization problem, where some features help some of the time, and not others. And their clients are all going to be programmers who get themselves into big trouble and then want the compiler to solve the problem.
Actually, the only signal so far is to AMD to continue investing developing ARM chips after the A1100.
Somewhat similarly. It's default mode is authenticated. It handles nonces and IVs for users, unlike NaCl, which demands random nonces from the user. It has and exposes a lot more primitives than libsodium, which is probably a bad thing for security. Its authors (and not just Dan Boneh) have impeccable credentials.

On the other hand, libsodium will outperform SJCL on Node.js, which is really the only safe place to use a library like this.
I don't know if that's the case or not, not being in the situation, but in high school I managed to get naked with my girlfriend despite both of us living at home, and her not having a car. I can't imagine that adults can't find a way to have sex.

And I'm still not convinced that living at home post-college sends someone spiraling into MGTOW. They might be bitter about it, they might be resigned about it, but I don't believe that it necessarily leads to a rejection of the opposite sex. Big ol' [citation needed] there.

Just because you're not currently in a relationship, and it's difficult to maintain one, doesn't make you a MGTOW, no more than having a lease end a few days before a new one begins makes you homeless.
this is not quite the right question to ask, because it assumes that the delivery business is the revenue driver for instacart, and that for instacart to win, they need to be better at delivery than the grocery store. it's very hard to make such a logistics business work in the last mile because it's so inefficient. grocery stores know this, which is the reason they are reluctant to implement such services themselves, not because they afraid of innovation (rather, lots of pricing innovation happens in grocery stores, to squeeze what little margin they can out of the value chain). companies like fedex and ups subsidize last-mile through their much more efficient long-distance logistics operations, which people are willing to pay more for.

the delivery service is actually a loss leader for instacart's underlying business, which is influencing purchase decisions through their app and getting paid for it. this is where brands compete with each other (just like shelf space in the store, which they also pay for), so it's where the money is. instacart also has fantastic shopping data tied to individual accounts that they can monetize in a number of ways. and then there is a bit of a winner-take-all element in that grocery stores are unlikely to want to integrate with more than one such service.

this last part is where the valuation comes from - it's a bet that instacart can become critical marketing infrastructure for the grocery industry. like many others, i'm skeptical because it's a risky strategy, but if they pull it off, they get a big payday.
Very cool! Would be nice to be able to chat. :)

>Ponder for a second the phrases, "filtered water", "coffee filter", "camera filter", etc. In all of those cases, you are interested in the set without the filtered thing, not with.

Filtered is akin to "cleansed" (it refers to the "main body") not akin to "picked out" (which would have applied to the undesirable elements.

It's actually the water (or the light, in the case of camera filter) that's filtered (hence the name "filtered water" and not "filtered dust and detritus").

The other stuff is not what's being filtered -- just what's "filtered out".

We use InstaCart to keep the fridge and pantry stocked at my small company. It works like a charm, and saves us nearly 2 hours a week. You get "free" deliveries with InstaCart Express for $149/year. The website and iPhone app are easy to use, and interaction with the shopper works almost flawlessly. Honestly, it's a no-brainer for us.
Unless Instacart deeply integrates with each stores inventory, they will ultimately lose.

The biggest problem with Instacart vs Amazon Fresh is that with Instacart you never really know what you are going to get. You never know what your end bill is going to be, and you never know what the real markup is. I don't think I've ever place an order on Instacart and had it filled 100% with everything I wanted. Place a large enough order and 10+ items might be missing. Miss the call to try and find a subsititue? Too bad.

The end user experience for Instacart is actually pretty damn bad. It's often just "better than nothing", but I don't see how that's sustainable.

They didn't mention whether they tried to simulate the radiation levels plants would experience on Mars in their experiment. I don't know whether that would change the results.
An interesting observation from the photos is that you can see evidence of light vandalization (mostly "names" carved into the rock). This implies these caves are part of some hyper local knowledge (at least as a party room for teenagers).

- I wonder what the oldest vandalization is?

- Could it be that there are many others in the area, which is why this hasn't been formally discovered before? How many times has it been "rediscovered" in the last 700 years?

- Is it actually a rabbit hole (as in: a hole used by rabbits) or just a "door"? Seems likely that it "looks" like a rabbit hole, but is actually a (perhaps maintained) door into the cave.
I think this article is wrong about the temperature. There is little information available but here is the original press release http://cipotato.org/press-room/blog/indicators-show-potatoes...

Whether through material science technology (shoes, swimsuits, rackets), medical advancements (supplements, techniques, steriods), and general knowledge (nutrition, training, form), sport is always advancing.

Other than devices that add energy from a stored reserve, like hidden motors in bicycles, I have a really hard time drawing a line of "cheating". Why were shark suits banned? [1] Why is blood doping to allow for quicker recovery "bad", but a finely calculated nutrition regimen to allow for quicker recovery de rigueur? Why are these fancy new shoes so egregious, when compared to races run 50 years ago, the current shoes are futuristic and unobtainable.

Excepting the most basic sports (running), every other sport is reliant on technology. So there's no way around advancement.

And I'm in favor of it! I want to see more awesome suits that blast world records out of the literal water. I want to see someone top 2:00:00 in a marathon. I want crazy new F1 cars with ideas no one's had before. Let's do it. That's more "human achievement" than some guy running really fast.

>$400 million round of venture funding
As it stands now, I believe Instacart will fail and this money will be wasted. The only hope for the company is to be acquired by someone larger looking to bootstrap grocery delivery (or maybe Uber or Amazon or something).

I regularly use Safeway grocery delivery https://shop.safeway.com/ecom/home and I've always been happy. Delivery fees can get as low as $4 while grocery items are (I assume) the same price as inside the store.

Instacart needs to do something different. Why don't they just copy Blue Apron/Hello Fresh and offer meal packages with all the ingredients and recipe? Hell, I'd be way more interested in the service if I could get that along with groceries.

Postmates

Blue Apron

Hello Fresh

Instacart

Amazon Fresh

etc etc

These companies need to become each other, before Amazon becomes all of them. It seems like the biggest innovation from Instacart I could find was "the company wasn't collecting beverage can and bottle deposits accurately until recently, and the fix has increased gross margins by 25 cents on average deliveries nationwide.". This company is doomed.

Side note, I still can't get over the fact that I can't view a single item they offer without creating an account. Even going to browse their website for this comment, I walk away disappointed.

Sure, but the Windows monopoly was a desktop OS monopoly, not a monopoly in every industry in which desktop computing capacity was a key input.

Now, in the absence of effective regulatory intervention, there's a risk of a monopoly in one market being leveraged to other markets, and moving up or down the production chain is one of the most common ways that happens, but, there's still (even in the absence of effective regulatory intervention) a difference between a monopoly in market X and one in market Y that threatens to be extended to X.
9 less from 20 is quite a decrease. So would be 9 less from 30 or 40 etc. And it could be way more per group.

as i mention elsewhere on this thread, the delivery business is not the bet that VCs are making. they're making a bet that instacart will become critical marketing infrastructure for the grocery industry.

the disintermediation that you talk isn't applicable here. instacart is creating and sharing value in the value chain rather than trying to take a cut from the downstream customer (i.e. dealerships, in your example).

> Isn't the prototypical example of real world big data that Walmart learned to stock pop tarts before hurricanes?

I've wondered about that too. My very speculative hypothesis: Walmart's tech and operations are designed for the 'wrong' model:

* Walmart: Regional warehouses (do they use them?). Inventory at and distribution to 10,000 retail stores. Brick-and-mortar retail sales operations (including store location, greeters, placement on shelves, etc.). Appropriate partnering and other arrangements such as rack jobbing.

* Amazon: Inventory at and distribution to a few massive regional warehouses. Web-based retail sales operations. Appropriate partnering arrangements such as web referrals, drop shipping, etc. Distribution one item at a time to customers' homes and businesses.

The tech that runs Walmart seems like it wouldn't work for Amazon. Think of just distribution and inventory: Walmart ships items in bulk to stores (i.e., essentially regional warehouses where the consumers come and pick from the shelves); Amazon ships items one at a time to consumers.
Wow! I'd love to read about how this was made.
And yet the Snapdragon has nothing to do with any shipped or to be shipped ARM server parts...
Did you have a look at PureScript? It has type classes, which might just elegantly solve your boilerplate problems. I think it's FFI is also simpler.

quantify the benefits that are given by the shoes, and
then keep everyone within those bounds

Which is what they're trying to do. You can't make everyone wear the same shoe, because Shoe X may work better for you and Shoe Y may work better for me. (Then you add the complexity may be that Shoe Company Y may be willing to pay you more money.)

But the downside is that it's lowest-common denominator technology. Every time a manufacturer comes up with a game-changing idea, it's "unfair" because they've figured out a way to give more benefit in a way that no one else has, yet.
It doesn't have to be a "luxury".

In the UK it costs me £1 to have my groceries delivered to my door. My nearest supermarket is only 10 mins walk, but spending a few pounds a month to replace a weekly 30+ min shopping trip with deliveries is still a no-brainer.

And that's before I even consider that my local supermarket seems to have higher prices...
We mostly focus on _work_ culture. Is the developer a move fast and break things dev, but your culture is more of a move slow and do it right? Do they focus more, less, or the same as other employees on tooling. Are they about always pushing the latest greatest, or are they more focused on stability, and which do you need. Do they have a big problem with collared shirts? Polos? are those in some way a business need for you? Do they have a big need for work from home but your workplace doesn't presently provide that?

This is a difficult one. The selfish behavior of Americans does seem to be causing a real world crisis. Per capita, a few countries (the middle east and the US) produce significantly more CO2 emissions per capita than the rest of the world [1]. This is expected to cause everyone significant problems and is already taking a major toll on the forestry and fishing industries. Theres not a lot that the rest of the world can do to put pressure on the US. A war would only create more polution and wars suck. Trade embargos are difficult given the US's geopolitical possition. This may well be, in the end, a tragedy situation of game theory in which everyone loses and there is no way out. There is no real way to privatise the atmosphere to get rid of the tragedy of the commons going on there.

It actually kind of reminds me of the old "nuclear deterent" theory. The idea that if you attack me, I'll create nuclear armagedon. If there was a way for Germany to produce so much CO2 that everyone would die, then maybe Germany could tell the US, "if you don't stop producing CO2, we'll produce a lot of it ourselves". Really, I don't know though. So far, I'm not optimistic.
