Another startup, Impossible Foods, is selling burgers (with let-animals-live beef) for $15. Their technique seems to be slightly different, mixing lab-made heme with vegan ingredients.

Understanding the Economic Impact of the H-1B Program on the U.S
I think that tends to be the case the more localized the cooperative/utility is... at the City level, more than the state, more than the federal govt. That's because a city-level org can make pragmatic decisions that become harder the higher you get.
You can't really believe that; certainly Musk doesn't.

Edit: Just for one challenge with no current solution: http://www.nature.com/articles/srep34774

There are others.
My big question is, why? It seems they are selling vehicles. Are they in trouble or is this just to expand business?
and not only did it used to be free,
but when they took it away,
they refused to give people an option to pay for it.
they really botched an opportunity to get people to upgrade.
further, they hurt their integrity in the process,
and their integrity is one of their most important assets.
so, overall, it was a tremendously bad mistake.
it's also puzzling they never gave any credible explanation for it. in the meantime, there are at least two alternatives, namely htmldrop.com and updog.co; both are new, and thus who knows how long they will last, but if you need something now, you have options.
Do you really think this occurred to none of the authors of the linked document? That no one has ever tested this? When you can come up with a counter argument in less than 30 minutes on a topic that single academics have put over a thousand hours into researching the likelihood is that this specific question has been investigated.
Are you suggesting that there's no money in any open-sourced technology? Is there money in Linux?
Practical Color Theory for People Who Code
How important do you consider the Linkedin's “Featured Skills and Endorsements”?
To think that the observer should somehow not affect the measurement is the dualist position.

From a materialist point of view the problem disappears because there is no mysterious mind of the observer that exists outside of reality.

So then even the observation is just a physical event, that can have effects on other physical things.

Mind you, a little twist to this is that (space)time also arises from the interactions of the basic particles, so to think that these interactions are somehow bound in time or space as we know it leads you off track quickly.

To illustrate: There are two balls: one is black and one is white. You are given one of the balls in a a closed box.

When you open the box, and see the color of your ball, you will instantly know the color of the other ball, even though nobody actually told you what the color of the other ball is.

This is pretty weird to me:

> What about Mattermost, how is this different?

> Gitter was built to be used in the open. We’ve always seen Gitter as a network, or a place where people can come to connect to one another. Team collaboration, whilst possible, has never been a core aspect of the Gitter experience.

> Mattermost is a powerful, integrated messaging product for team collaboration - we will continue to ship and recommend using Mattermost for internal team communication.

Surely GitLab would be better off investing fully into a single chat-platform? The road to making Gitter good for internal team communication is not particularly long or windy.
They're not trying to incentivize people to move to SF; they're trying to maintain a competitive hold on the market of talent which is already there, as the realities of our current climate are that many of the highest-talent candidates are to be found in that pool.
> It's like saying living in the U.S implies agreement with the president

No: Working for a company is opt-in, living in a country is opt-out. Quitting your job out of protest is a lot easier than emigrating.

Choosing to work for Uber and disagreeing with their culture is more like voting for a president and then disagreeing with them. Why should the OP try to change a rotten company from within when there are plenty of other employers to choose from?

Google Makes So Much Money, It Never Had to Worry About Financial Discipline Now
Aside from people who also lack hearing, the main issue is are that you are basically tethered to tech if you want to be able to read/write unless you have an analog tool like braille. Also, if that number drops below a certain amount, you'll have no one who could read what you wrote and braille stops being useful for anyone to learn due to network effects. Since it's an alphabet and not a language, it's not as big a deal if it dies out, but still a loss.

The upcoming Model 3 will be the acid test for Tesla. It will no doubt be a good car, but at this point people should focus less on what the car can do and on how the car will be rolled out, sold and supported afterwards. A wealthy Model S customer may be ok with having the car in the shop after a minor accident for 5 months due to lack of replacement parts, but for an average Joe paying $500/month leasing a Model 3 that would just be the birth of a new BMW customer.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. The question then is do you think they can fix the issues that lead to those negative experiences with a little bit of time, and a billion more dollars?

There are also plenty of devs in the community, outside the EnterpriseDB employees, who do do not want to pollute core PostgreSQL with alternative ways to do things it already can do just because of Oracle compatibility. Aliases have been added for ISO SQL compatibility, but adding features purely (i.e. features with zero value unless you are migrating from Oracle) for Oracle compatibility is not something core PostgreSQL does.

I was a technical recruiter for startups in SF from 2005 to 2013. I filled hundreds of startup jobs. I wouldn't worry about it. Good engineers are always in demand, so if you're good, you'll be fine. Even if Uber is evil, and Lyft is good, I bet Lyft would hire you.

The thing that will prevent you from being hired, even if you are good, is not owning the fact that you chose to stay at Uber. If you're 100% okay with staying Uber, and you're only worried about perception, I'd say don't about what other people will think. But if you're ashamed to don your Uber hoodie in public and/or you cringe to answer the question "where do you work?", that's harder for you. That may have more to do with how you feel about it, and less to do with what other people will think.

Imagine this... You're the hiring manager for a startup that needs a darn good engineer. Someone applies to your company, and their two previous employers were Ashley Madison and Adult Friend Finder. You've previously interviewed candidates from both companies. If those candidates had been amazing, then you will do anything you can to get that applicant in the door for an interview. If the applicants all bombed, you'll be likely to think the engineering talent at AM and AFF wasn't any good. Neither situation have anything to do with the fact that both companies were adult-oriented websites, which carries some social stigma with it. The AM/AFF applicant might have a tough time getting a job at Eharmony because of their personal values as a Christian-friendly website.
> Would I take 1Gbps (or higher) home service? Sure, I guess. Do I need it? I don't see any reason to say that I do.

I agree. I have a 125/25 cable connection and am never yearning for more speed. I would take fiber if I could get it for the same price or less, but I'm certainly not going to pay more today. Of course a killer application could be just around the corner that requires 1gb/1gb.
Ignoring tax implications is a much, much bigger problem for your argument than ignoring brokerage fees.
Although I applaud your skepticism, I think it's misplaced. My first job out of University was working for Daimler-Benz when they owned Chrysler. I was a front line eng supervisor at the plant level focusing on In System Damage, Federal Torque and a host of other quality issues that were plaguing the company at the time. I dealt directly with it so I can tell you, Supply Chain is not that big a deal to fix. They will sort out their problems there, they just imo need a few vets from a traditional car company.

As an aside, my time there was a hugely formative experience for me. Given a $500K budget and armed with nothing more than a little sql, I was able to immediately start saving the company multi-millions of dollars annually. I was considered a big star among the fresh batch of talent they inhaled that year, but I left because I could see the writing on the wall about the industry. Given the bailout and all that, I am pretty happy with that decision.
> Whoa, that Morse code idea was meant as a joke. Edit: ahh ok that's not how Knocki works.

It sort of does. Look at this advertisement:

I don't know if the idea of using patterns as control is genius or stupid.

That said: Compared to this Knocki thing a wooden house remote with four buttons looks a bit boring. My guess is that people who have home automation (and are surfing kickstarter) are more on the tinkerer-side and they want something complicated. (Ultimately I think speech recognition will win)

No, philosophy is more general than and includes science (hence, the Ph. in Ph.D.)

Just in case, architecture of components in Sciter. Could be interesting for some.

Assignment and composition - by CSS, and only by CSS, Sciter's specific prototype property:

.myComponent {
prototype: MyComponent url(components/my.tis);
color: red;
...
}

where MyComponent is the name of script class in components/my.tis script file. That MyComponent looks like as

class MyComponent : Element
{
function attached() {
// called when DOM element gets this class
// a.k.a. DOM constructor

// content initialization, if needed:
this.$content( <button.prev/>
<button.next/> );
}
function detached() {
// called when DOM element looses this class
// a.k.a. DOM destructor
}

function method() {
// some public method
}
property prop(v) {
// some public property
get { ... }
set { ... }
}

event mousedown (evt) {
// default mousedown event handler
}
event mouseup (evt) {
// default mouseup event handler
}

event click $(button.next) {
// click on its button.next
}
event click $(button.prev) {
// click on its button.prev
}

// etc
}

To use such component:

1. include CSS where the binding is defined (prototype above)
2. In markup to define matching element:

<div.myComponent />

Nothing too complicated and pretty effective. Could be done even 18 years ago: http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-becss-19990804#behavior

Well, they plan to sell 500k vehicles a year soon which takes a huge ramp up form current production.

Sure, they could increase production with current profits form sales but it would slow them down.
The bandwidth delay product is the amount of data in flight. That's not throughput. You can have a huge amount of data in flight on a fast connection just fine. Someone else said the calculator assumes a max window size of 64KB which is extremely unrealistic.

2 cents per gram translates to $9.07 per pound of Memphis Meats' cost. Assuming they skip the distributors (unlikely) and sell straight to retailers, it will be easily double that at the retail level, $18.14 per pound. They are more likely to end up around the $25-30 per pound price point at retail once all is said and done.

That's starting to wander into dry-aged beef ribeye territory at a higher-end version of common grocery chains, and sale pricing numbers at Whole Foods Market. It predictably starts out as a luxury good, but as others have noted, cell culture-based processes have historically scaled pretty effectively. So probably 2-3 more decades after that with continuous refinements will bring it down to a price point that even the middle class will look at, so that's pretty exciting it is getting so close.

What is the regulatory outlook for these products? Will they be regulated as pharmaceutical (due to the bioreactor origin) or food, or is this an issue currently being negotiated and discussed with government? I imagine investors would strongly prefer a food regulatory treatment.
In the case of Google, and to a lesser extent Microsoft, I don't have enough trust they'll keep their offering around to ever start using and relying on it.

Google and to a slightly lesser degree Microsoft have horrible histories of simply turning off successful services. Or "improving" them by replacing with something objectively worse.
You are a techie, not on the executive board. So the Uber taint does not apply to you. As long as you are not required to implement some immoral program, there is no reason to leave as a matter of principle.

As a potential employer I would be more concerned about you changing jobs with less than a year at both previous jobs. Assuming you are not looking to take a pay cut, you would have to be stellar technically to even be considered with so little experience. Finally, I would consider you overly sensitive to outside influences and question whether you would stay with a new employer through thick and thin.
I believe that's an intentional limitation.
CNCF is not a standards body and can you explain this part: politically, the power transfer happens in the form of the "donor" gaining more power over the "receiver"
Good techies can absolutely afford a moral compass. You might lose your chance to be the next Zuck, but that's highly unlikely either way.
The growth plan for the automotive business is specifically to expand beyond the premium market and escape the limited demographic, though.

And to achieve that plan, they have to deal with lots of competition.

Further, Maimonides, who enumerated the principles of faith accepted by Orthodox Jews, also held that Genesis could/should be interpreted allegorically[1].

> Some medieval philosophical rationalists, such as Maimonides (Mosheh ben Maimon, the "Rambam") held that it was not required to read Genesis literally. In this view, one was obligated to understand Torah in a way that was compatible with the findings of science. Indeed, Maimonides, one of the great rabbis of the Middle Ages, wrote that if science and Torah were misaligned, it was either because science was not understood or the Torah was misinterpreted. Maimonides argued that if science proved a point, then the finding should be accepted and scripture should be interpreted accordingly.

DOCSIS has a very difficult time providing 100+ Mib/s connections. It's really only possible when the distance to the cabinet is less than 1 km and the number of clients served by that cabinet is less than 50. This is why cable companies are able to offer 300 Mib/s connections in urban areas that have a cabinet for every block, but struggle to deliver 50 Mib/s connections in suburbs where a whole neighborhood must share a single cabinet. The cost of installing enough cabinets to give everyone 100+ Mib/s rapidly approaches the cost of fiber-to-the-premises as population density drops.

There is also the issue of the asynchronous nature of DOCSIS. Cable companies must make a trade-off between upstream and downstream bandwith, and tend to assume that people value downstream much more. This is why you see hilarious allocations like 300 Mib/s down and only 5 Mib/s up.
Have you heard about this car company called Chevrolet ? They have this car called the Bolt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Bolt
So in the OP's example, the cost is $87,000 per petabyte-year of storage?

I'm very curious how you were able to save the company millions of dollars.
Huh, that actually looks pretty cool. Are there any stats on e.x. how often someone's "80% correct" predictions are actually true?
If they're ok with people working remotely, they'd do much better to pay everyone as if they lived in a very expensive area, and attract all the people who don't want to give up a lot of the flexibility of a large paycheck but would love to be able to save even more of it by living somewhere cheaper.

(Their calculator also seems somewhat bonkers (on the extremely low side) compared to the local market where I live. It seems based on a somewhat-arbitrary, quick-and-dirty-wild-guess estimate formula vs what real, on-the-ground competitor companies in those areas are paying.)

EDIT: there seems to be a small trend emerging where every company I've seen with fully-public payscales/pay calculators wildly comes in below what I'm currently making, and what I've heard from local competitors. And I'm not in SF. Wonder if there's some causality there, though it's still just a handful.

Also it's amusing to get a downvote for offering up the info that Gitlab would want me to take a pretty substantial ~30% haircut in base pay based on where I live. What would be attractive to me would be "we'll give you 80% of your current take-home, but you get to live wherever you want," but this is basically the opposite.
There definitely was never any money in basic container runtimes, but this move is more like Docker playing nice after Red Hat & Google threatened to burn it down. And I guess rkt got thrown in for FOMO.
In my usage I meant to express that a modern system should be constructed similarly to how flexbox and grid determine the "display" property of the selected element's children.

If your code constantly requires manual display:inline-block; on elements (and it's not just to override the browser's default stylesheet), then you probably aren't adhering to a consistent pattern and your CSS's maintainability will eventually drop off at an exponential rate.

Flexbox enables you to even avoid patterns like .inline-list>li{float:left;}, so sibling-level specificity isn't going to align with best practices anymore in the near future.

Tesla have been trying to and they are still running into many problems, many industry veteran hires and tens of thousands of cars sold later.

I have talked to many people who have worked/work in production as well, and unfortunately they don't share with you the same optimism on how easy it is to scale up supply chain for a large scale luxury auto company. Daimler-Benz has had major reliability problems with both Chrysler and Mercedes and it took Mercedes over a decade to get back to industry average, while Chrysler is still in the gutters.

I've had a few, and it's never trivial problems. Here's a trivial problem:
- Write a method that takes 2 parameters - an Integer, and a list of Integers - and return a boolean indicating if the int param is in the list of Integers.

Instead of something actually simple like that, it's trick questions designed to appeal to the interviewers desire to appear smart and clever.
