That's not an argument for tipping. That's an argument for organized labor action, or finding a different job. Hell, just work for Lyft (ok, yes, I know, Lyft is not available in every market Uber is); I believe they pay comparably, and also have a tipping culture and in-app tipping.

It's really easy; it just takes a long time.

1. Add 1 tbsp each olive oil and butter to a pan and melt butter over medium heat. No special pans needed. A frying pan, a stock pot, a wok...I've had success in all of em.

2. Add medium-chopped onion to heated oil/butter. Gently stir for two minutes. Add a pinch of sugar and pinch of salt (aka 1 tsp each).

3. Turn heat down to low heat. Stir every few minutes for the first half hour, and then almost constantly for the next twenty to thirty minutes.

That's it.
> They don't really have any massive gaps waiting to be filled.

Except the Standard Model is at best incomplete, at worst flawed, considering for instance galaxy rotation discrepancy (i.e. a need for dark matter possibly super-symmetrical, or modified formulas etc). Obviously black hole physics, expansion of space... There are many open questions, hard problems still unsolved. There's even a nice wiki article about "unsolved problems in physics".

However I very much appreciate your point and think it's something to keep in mind when building models.
I don't think that's a bad proposition at all. If I were a business person running on AWS, I'd do it.

> If someone disappears, their spouse gets put on the list of persons of interest.

That's because there is a relationship and historically the occasional spouse has been implicated in the murder of their other half.

> So do the last people seen with them.

Proximity means they might be witnesses, not immediately suspects.

> For each one, the police see if there is a case to be made, or if they known anything that could help, and then move on.

Yes. But they don't place everybody that was in a 10 mile radius around the crime scene on their list of suspects because they spoke the name of the victim out loud in the three weeks preceding the crime. And that's roughly the level this is at.

I think the two estimates you mention are different things: 17B is the population of chickens alive in a single moment, 50B for number slaughtered in a year. (Broiler chickens live much less than a year.)

The comparison of farm and wild population sizes is relevant, because humans have control over both the size of the chicken population (through choice of eating habits) and the size of wild animal populations (through habitat reduction or conversion).
I am honestly not that interested in America to wake up at some point and have crazy realizations about it. Its significant worse than where i am from (in every single metric), or the third world countries i just spend months in, and as stated above i was surprised myself how many other countries seem much worse than i expected.

Everytime a slightly critical news about Microsoft is on HN, it gets off HN frontpage rather quickly. Be it by flagging, be it by spamming with "Microsoft isn't that bad", "Windows 7 is already 8 years old" comments to change the comment to voting ratio. --- a very negative thing about HN ranking algorithms, why hide stories with more comments than votes?

First Microsoft forbid AMD to announce Win7 support. They had to remove the Win7 phrase from their press releases of the announcements. Now that AMD provides chipset that work for Win7-10, Microsoft does another evil thing. How long have we endure this crazy CEO? Why has the whole desktop world has to suffer and no country investigates in this not okay business practices? Why haven't they split Microsoft in two companies back in late 1990s? Microsoft older products were great, but they turned evil around 2012 and kissed the QA department good-bye.
I was curious about that myself. What's the best way to model the costs associated with maintenance overhead that comes with bare-metal, vs the savings from managing bare-metal servers using a service (like packet), co-locating your own hardware or running your own datacenter.

My gut feeling is that you have to get to an extraordinary size to realize any meaningful savings, but that's primarily based on Dropbox's migration off AWS (https://www.wired.com/2016/03/epic-story-dropboxs-exodus-ama...).

For those of us who aren't developers but maybe more aptly called "hackers" (cause we hack stuff together even though we're operating out of our league, sometimes we get stuff to work).
I am wondering, is there a even higher level guide to using Tensor Flow. I am currently growing Sweet Peas in my office in enclosed containers that automanage environment, nutrition and water. I have the capaability to log a lot of data from a lot of sensors, including images. I have _no idea_ how I would even get started using Tensor Flow, but it would be cool if I could run experiments on environmental conditions and find optimal conditions for this sweet pea cultivar. Maybe I'm talking nonsense. Let me ask a more basic question, how might one log and create data for use with Tensor Flow. How might Tensor Flow be applied to robotic botanical situations?
All this culture and reverse culture shocking taught me to get sensitive about all the adaptions we have to make often and don't think about. E.g. when moving from New York to LA people talk about being "homesick" but people don't talk about culture shock. But it's the same, just more small scale since people still speak your language and have a somewhat similar culture compared to different countries on different ends of the world.

Right now I'm in the process of moving to another city and can appreciate a lot all the things I learned about culture shock and can handle it quite well, e.g., the overpowered feeling of loneliness that sometimes hits you really hard, or that you must be careful about sharing experiences since others don't consider the same things weird as you.

Where do you draw the line, though? The scrollbar is not part of the website, it's part of the window where the website is being rendered, and the window is itself part of a desktop environment. Would you try to override the look and feel of the desktop environment if you could?
Nobody moves animals to farms. Farm animals were specifically created by humans and could not exist outside that context.

I eat farmed meat but I also go hunting and try to take down a deer each year and maybe some grouse. Since this is just nature taking its course, I assume vegetarians won't care much about this.
There's nothing in this exam that requires specific diff eq knowledge.
It sounds like your approach is already very proactive and productive. Don't underestimate the value of persistence. I spent a year teaching myself to code. I was able to get a foot in the door through an internship at a NYC agency. This came after several months of fruitless applications and one freelance gig that ended because I didn't know enough about WordPress. I was dog walking in the meantime. Now I am a software engineer. Truly entry-level positions are (in my experience) hard to find for a new web developer. Once you have your first professional experience, internship or junior position, you will receive more interest from prospective employers. Unfortunately, the lack of entry level positions means that you have to have patience and persistence in the beginning. Believe in yourself. Trust that you made the right commitment. Keep at it. I did little things like buying clothes that I was going to wear when I finally had my first web dev job. I didn't wear those clothes until the first day of my internship. By investing in that future, even in silly, little ways, it helped me to believe that future would be a reality.

If you're in NYC, check out the BoroughJS meetups. I don't know if this will help you find a job but I think it will help you to feel part of the JavaScript community. You are part of that community if you choose to be, even if you don't have a job. People there will (in my experience) take you seriously regardless.

Finally, a word on bootcamps. I've interviewed several candidates who graduated from bootcamps. Some are great. Others are not. I think the attitude generally is that a bootcamp listed on a resume isn't an indication of anything. If this is one of the primary ways you define yourself, I would deemphasize it. Instead, emphasize code you've written (in the form of Github repos, Gists, CodePens, live sites, etc.) and communicate that you think like a programmer, even if you don't have a lot of experience. These are the two things I focus on when interviewing junior candidates.
Wait a second. You can't look at camera footage that was taken near the vicinity of a crime in order to try to discover who the criminal was? I am highly suspicious of your story.

That's not quite measuring the same thing, as it includes the download of the wasm (which will then depend on the webserver, e.g., the simple python one people use for debugging is super-convenient but not that fast). You can force sync compilation (BINARYEN_ASYNC_COMPILATION=0) to make measuring that easier, or measure it in the shell.

Also, parsing is separate from optimization. If the browser also optimizes, that takes a lot more than parsing. However, browsers are starting to add baseline JITs for wasm, interpreters, etc., in which case parsing will be the larger factor.
>VPN'ing around your ISP is about the same level of difficulty as setting your default search engine to not be google.

Not even close.

VPN involves:

* Knowledge of the purpose of a VPN

* Knowledge of a specific VPN

* Money to pay for VPN

* Maintenance in the form of turning it on/off depending on application

* A method of digitally paying your bill, i.e. a credit card.

In contrast, if you know nothing about computers but open IE/Edge for the first time you'll be prompted to select your search engine.
Cornish Cross in particular are fantastic at converting feed into weight gain. In 10 weeks, you can go from a fluffy little ping pong ball sized chick to an almost 10lb live-weight bird. It's often unwise to raise them past that age, because the rate of weight gain puts so much stress on their internals that they'll frequently keel over from a heart condition. By the 8 to 9 week stage, they're already so heavy that they can only take a handful of steps because having to plop down and have a rest for a bit.
If we're talking anecdotes, then I should mention that I've had very little problem with many Ubuntu installs and Mac installs. Certainly no 'brickings'.

But you're missing the point. My Dad did not ask to install Windows 10 (n.b. I put the wrong version in my first post), Microsoft did that for him. Other OS upgrades may not be perfect, but at least they give users the choice.
That's actually censorship.

I was thinking more like depreciating the value of your car according to whatever depreciation schedule the IRS allows, prorated by the proportion of the miles you drive for Uber.

Something like - your car cost $30,000 and depreciates over 10 years, so $3,000 per year (just making up numbers, no idea if/how the IRS depreciates a car). So you'd have a $3,000 loss in the value of the car per year until it drops to 0. If the car was used 40% of the time for business (driving for Uber) you could claim 40% of the depreciation - $1200. I guess then you'd have to separately itemize all the gas, maintenance, etc.

But if you're actually losing money on the Uber-driving endeavor when that is factored in, whatever revenue you get should be tax-free. Of course, I suppose that only works if you're an independent contractor / business, and Uber drivers fought so hard to get treated as employees instead. Oh well. Employees get screwed when it comes to taxes.
Ok yes, that's a fair point.

What I mean is that this is much more targeted than the headline makes it sound. At first glance the police department wants access to the entire search history of everyone in some town. In reality they are asking for something much more specific than that.
I'm pretty much that in my current job only with a salary. Here's why:
I can make all the recommendations I want but change has to be driven by the will of the higher ups, often as high as C-level folks (CIO/CTO). So you pay me to make recommendations, not to actually save you the money, because the second part is largely out of my control.

Having said that, all the cost savings initiatives I've spearheaded are on my resume and LinkedIn profile and I take great satisfaction in optimizing those environments to save the client money.
That would be exponential rate. Logarithmic means that the curve gets flatter over time, not steeper. :-)
> So why does the intent of the investigator, to confirm versus discover, matter?

Well you could argue then that they should be allowed to look at everything because if they do they could discover any number of crimes by looking at all communications.

Here's the thing. Lets' say hypothetically there is a crime committed at a high school. Are people generally ok with the police opening every single school locker to see who is a potential suspect for that one crime?

And what if while doing so they discover evidence of another crime? Is that ok and usable? If it is then we get to a point where it's conceivable that the police will then use any reason to say there is a crime to which they need to open school lockers knowing that they will almost certainly find evidence of some crime in one of them.
A decade ago took a cooking class that an amazing chef offered to a bunch of us regulars.

One of the things he showed us was how to properly chop and sweat onions to sweeten them, including how to use smell to tell when they were done. Somebody said "Oh, we're going to caramelize them." and the chef replied, quite matter of factly, "Oh, no, we'll be here all night if we caramelize them."

And that's when I learned there was a difference.
I disagree. While there are some searchers who are curious about the subtleties of the differences between the speed of sound through various mediums and at different altitude levels, most people searching for that basic question are satisfied to know that the speed of sound through air is about 750mph, which is why I said that it would satisfy about 99% of searchers. People who are interested in digging in further can comb through the rest of the results, or further specify that they want to know the speed of sound through water or at 35,000 feet above sea level. Just as some people who search for "What is the height of the Empire State Building?" may want to know what is the height of the highest occupied floor, or just the structure without the mast, most want to know how many feet is the distance from the base to the top?

By trying to satisfy every searcher for these types of queries, you will be making searching more cumbersome for the vast majority of people, which is why I think that providing a single, easy to view answer that is likely to satisfy the person who entered the search a calculated risk that's worth taking.

It's for the answers that wouldn't satisfy most searchers that I don't think a definitive answer should be provided, as it is likely to be either wrong, or just one of many possible answers that the searcher is looking for.

It reminds me of a picture I once saw of MS Word when every single banner is enabled. The menus occupy half the screen. Even though there is some power user somewhere who really needs that menu option, the reality is that virtually nobody else does. So while that user has to go through the pain to figure out how to enable that banner, his pain makes the product easier to use for 99.99999% of users.
Yes! that's exactly what I though this would be and was excited as I've been tempted to build that myself.

What a stupid paper. The whole point of "ethical consequentialist vegetarianism" is to allow for an untouched wild domain where animals can suffer in a way consistent with environment and evolution. Becoming a human vegetarian is, after all, consistent with environment and evolution. We can be vegetarian from an evolutionary position and we maybe should be vegetarian from an environmental position (i.e. our high population)
Do you have an example of someone being executed because they intentionally sold a faulty product?

We have laws against negligence as well. You absolutely can deter people from accidentally getting people killed to some extent, or at least our laws seem to think we can.

Someone guilty of involuntary manslaughter can't pay back the damage they've done, but we still punish them under the theory that this encourages people to take some care when other people's lives might be at risk.

If making sellers responsible for accidental death and injury would destroy individuals and small businesses, this just reinforces my point that regulations protect sellers as much as buyers.

I'm sympathetic, because you're not wrong. But those of us on the other side of the argument aren't wrong either.

> The tip -$1 or $2 or $5 gets the person a gallon of gas. A meal. A cup of coffee. It helps pay off a bill. It is savings for their childs prom dress. It pays for food.

I am not your employer; it should not be my job to figure out what is required to pay you a living wage. Your employer should be doing that. It sucks that they aren't. I wish I could fix that.

> One of lifes most enjoyable things is to be generous.

That's just, like, your opinion, man. And if it's so enjoyable to be generous, why isn't Uber enjoying themselves by paying drivers more? Why is it my responsibility as a rider to fill in this gap?

But yeah, I do agree that it's enjoyable to be generous. But you know what's not enjoyable? Being subject to guilt and societal pressure to tip. "Being generous" is not "being generous" unless it's completely voluntary. Tipping is not.

I donate to charitable organizations not because they ask me to or because I feel pressure to do so, but because they further causes I believe in and want to support. That generosity is something I enjoy. Tipping just makes me feel anxious and like I'm getting ripped off by having (yes, having) to pay more than the advertised price.
Lol'ing at the downvotes, don't care.

Because it is not so focused on people as much as it is with "people in cities." Cities are the future of low carbon emissions. So specifically simulating and visualizing the happiness of people within cities is huge. There is great potential for this work.
Kind of reminds me of when I picked up a copy of Ignition! (https://www.amazon.com/Ignition-informal-history-liquid-prop...) at a used bookstore for $5. I definitely got my money's worth out of the read, and I was quite surprised years later when I heard it was very rare. I still haven't sold it.

I love used bookstores.
Honeycrisp, right? It has been awhile since I listened to it, but IIRC the interesting part was the creator's efforts to protect the apple's flavor by trademarking the name. Most new varieties are bred for looks, yield, and shelf life at the expense of taste. (Remember when Fujis were good?)
This may sound silly to you all but I have recently given up paying for internet at my house as an experiment due to the prevalence of free public wifi nearly everywhere. I'm about 9 months into having cancelled my internet/cable entirely and it is working out well for me. I have only ever been very mildly inconvenienced by it.

Things like this make me never want to go back in all honestly, I save quite a bit of money with basically no downside (unless you count buying very very slightly more coffee than I otherwise might). Since I don't use google logins, disable tracking/cookies, and also change my mac address semi-regularly this seems like an adequate solution without going full on Tor/NoScript all the time(which I would prefer but the inconvenience cost becomes too great).

If this is allowed to legally stand, I am going to have to think long and hard about ever subscribing to an ISP or creating a google account ever again.
I don't really see the problem here, am I missing something?

Inspiring children sounds like something the Department of Education would control if everyone needs to stay strictly within their own box.

Should NASA go out of their way to exclude other nations when planning space missions? I don't get it.
I'm still not entirely clear on the issue but I suspect it might be older Applications that do not adhere to Microsoft guidelines for registering Applications in the Start Menu. Once upon a time you could just dump shortcuts into a specific location and you'd have Start Menu shortcuts. While that worked up through Windows 8ish, Microsoft guidelines have said not to do that since XP. In Windows 10 they removed support for that location.

Since XP they've also been telling developers to register their uninstall executable with the "Programs and Features" Control Panel Program. However even new apps (i.e. Node.JS) still drop Uninstall Shortcuts in the Start Menu.

Since Windows 8 they have recommended that developer keep configuration out of the Control Panel but Adobe, Intel, Synaptics, Lenovo, and countless others still register Control Panel programs. Microsoft has been gradually migrating old Control Panel Programs to the Modern Settings App. Once they're done they will no doubt remove the Control Panel and all of these Vendors will have broken software.

The problem is that Software vendors ignore Microsoft guidelines and now Microsoft is trying to fix the issues with Windows that have accumulated over the last 30 years and these failures to follow guidelines are starting to become apparent.
