This is accurate for the rural area I grew up. It was never clear where the dogs came from, there was a small town about 10 miles away, we assumed many of the dogs had gotten loose... or picked up some other poorly trained dogs from other ranches. But... entirely possible people were letting dogs loose that they just didn't want to take care of. The end result was a pack of 5-10 dogs that loved to chase cattle.

What was always hardest about shooting those dogs was that it was hard to get in a clean shot. Typically it took a few shots to bring them down, and often you'd have to go up close to finish it off. Once it was hurt, it stopped being a ferocious animal that was attacking your livestock and turned back into someone's whimpering pet. By the point you had shot it in the back hip, and side... it knew you were coming to kill it. In the end it was confused, and hurt, and scared, and alone.

Couldn't help but feel that people had failed those animals.
Same here. It wasn't inspected, what ever extreme handling they did, all the packing I had for it did not allow it to survive, and it had a cracked case and something else no longer allowing it to turn on (it was a long time ago, I no longer remember the details nor have the laptop).

I think this will heavily curtail travel to the US.

Wideness of niche. That's a good one. Once we become trans-planetary, I guess that will also be quite a distinguishing trait. Also, note my optimism :P

Akin to the brain-to-body-mass ratio that you mention, I wonder if this wideness of niche idea can be meaingfully quantified.

Would you be able to point me to some sources? I'd like to level up a little bit on this topic.
Hmm, indeed, "what if".
For one thing it is a smaller space, easily heated and cooled. Second, closed cell foam means no air infiltration to suck away your heat.

Walls in houses, assuming stud framed, are insulated to R20 but effective R value is less due to thermal bridging, air infiltration.
I was about to raise the same issue. Not really a satisfactory UX when the photos that might give me some idea of what I'm looking at are obscured whenever they're in the browser viewport.
What i took away from the 15 minutes I spent reading was this: If you're not afraid to reach out to prospective customers and you know how to make a sales pitch, you can sell any half-baked product.

Whether it could actually be a successful business or not is an entirely different matter and would take much longer to find out.
Generally I think developers don't see our 60 year history as a liability. We've only begun to figure stuff out (the 90's and early 00's were punctuated by arguments over Tony Hoare's work in concurrency, that was all done in the mid 70's by people who don't seem to be aware that they were all written by a single person).

I think specifically it helps to deep dive on something that is much older than programming. A craft, an art, a sport, or a physical passtime (dancing, martial arts, kayaking). People have been teaching that stuff for centuries and it turns out they actually know a few things that we only pretend to know. Two things in particular stand out.

Cross-training is one. The notion that pushing harder, white-knuckling everything, is a virtue in software development is rarely ever challenged. Not good yet? Just keep doing it.

The second is that we don't get that rules exist in a context. Always do this. Never do that. As you mature it is partly your responsibility to figure out when you are no longer part of that context. When you are ready, you will understand why you had to follow the rule and why you are now free of it. Look at the backlash against DRY. A bunch of people who've been using it for 10-15 years figuring out it's not all roses. See also: 'it depends...'

Interesting!

So ~10% get secondary inspection, and of those ~0.65% where found inadmissible (non-citizen as you point out).

Not sure how to feel about it. On the one hand 10% sounds like "not so bad" in that it's actually a minority getting secondary inspections.

On the other hand... if I'm waiting for border agents to let me through and 1 in 10 will get secondary inspections, which by the looks of it would include access to your accounts and such, it sounds like a terribly high percentage.
Man, I really, really like your posts--but come on. Nobody is saying that providing goods and services to poor people is evil. They're saying that there are capitalistic incentives to keep a poor population captured and that those outweigh the comforting-but-probably-pretty-wrong "just lazy" excuses.

I am perhaps more disappointed in an internet name than I should be, but I am disappointed. You are better than this.
Not quite literally strings, it typically uses binary-coded-decimal (BCD) format for numbers, but it has the same effect when years are stored as two digits.
That's a pretty poor way of expressing the idea of the article.

The point the article is making is that poor people often have their backs against the wall as far as the number of choices they have in food, housing, jobs, location, etc. They're effectively a captive audience, which makes them an easy population to exploit. Maybe this is considered acceptable in society's economic model, but at the least people should be more aware of how your options fall away as you go further down the socio-economic ladder.
At >$800/share, that doesn't count as getting crushed.
Barman is awesome, have been using it in production for two years now - I cannot reccomend it enough. Funny enough, I found it easier to work with than trying to set up a maintenance plan with SSMS and restores are dead-easy too.
Your comparison between decrypting a file and locating a body neatly demonstrates the conflict at the heart of this case. The conflict is formally known as the "foregone conclusion doctrine."

There was an excellent discussion of this case and the principles behind this doctrine in the Washington Post last year:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...

Orin Kerr does an excellent job explaining why he thinks the doctrine applies to decrypting files. You might enjoy reading it.

The appropriate analogy to this case is not "until he shows hidden body to the police" but "until he opens the door to his garage where they have reason to believe there is a body".

That obviously doesn't amount to having "no idea about languages".

This is the lamest sort of language spat. It's football hooliganism except not about football. We don't want it here.
On the other side of the equation (at least regarding real estate), it can be difficult to make money from poor people without extremely low costs and tremendous scale.

There is a reason many landlords refuse to accept Section 8 tenants. It's not because they're evil Scrooges, it's that Section 8 tenants are more likely to damage properties (I've heard firsthand accounts of Section 8 tenants letting their multiple dogs piss and shit on the floor while refusing to pay several months of back rent and utility bills, and others letting their units turn into such trash heaps that delousing was a regular occurance) and vacuum up administrative time. So the rent has to be high for the landlords to be able to make a profit.

Maybe we could stop blaming the market for doing what it does and recognize that the economy and the livelihood of people is largely determined by government policy?

Bring back the Works Progress Administration. Pay people to show up and work. I know it's unrelated to the article, but as long as private employers have little competition for wages, poor people will continually be forced to accept their place in a race to the bottom.
Sure, anyways you can use any email and password.., I am not really doing email confirmation here., The entire demo app is for demo.
For one, you can get an idea if you are getting proper performance out of your devices. For example, NVMe drives plugged directly into certain revisions of ASYS motherboards will not get to their spec speeds, you will need to use a M2/PCIe raiser card. Similarly, not all USB3 ports on motherboards are created equal. I have about 20% difference in performance of external drive between two ports on my work machine.

For two, you can estimate the overhead you get by enabling NTFS compression and/or Bitlocker for a drive.

Ditto for the antivirus overhead. For example, BitDefender is known to absolutely kill multi-stream SMB3 performance, dragging 10GbE speeds down to 1Gbps or less.
That's great for solving known problems, like maybe Coke could estimate that reducing turbulence in their pipes in Warehouse ABC would save them a half million dollars a year. Then they can set aside money, maybe insure the project against failure, the insurance company has some idea what to charge them for such a policy, and so on.

But when Einstein was working on Relativity nobody could have foreseen what it would make possible. In that case the discovery was made and then eventually the business sector found a way to sell it, decades afterwards. Today we know what GPS makes possible so we know what it's worth, but in 1905 there was basically no market value for it.

They are offering SSL free to all free dynos under the https://<foo>.herokuapp.com domain. If they offered free SSL for custom domains too, what's the incentive to upgrade to a paid dyno for applications that don't require a large amount of resources?

To be fair to Heroku, they have the right to make a profit. As is, it's amazing that they offer a fully free tier. If you don't like their policies, you are free to not use their services.
That's exactly what programmers in the 1980s thought about the code they were writing. Otherwise they would have used four digits for years.
It really does. Based on these photos, I'd rather live in a single-wide, and I know from experience exactly how shoddy those are.
They weren't strongly for this. They edged towards it just enough to win enough of the white people who had fallen for scaremongering (and often racist) propaganda put out by Republicans so they wouldn't lose and then have no ability to change the policy.

"Both sides are the same" is a rallying cry of people who know that one side is actually much worse.
Don't be too obvious to early; you'll give your competitors time to catch up.

Need to wait until late 2020s or early 2030s. Publish the epochalypse manifesto. Start slow building a low-level urgency in powerful people.

Then around 2034, blow it wide open: "Epochalypse: The hidden danger they don't want you to know about."

That's how you get them to rain money on you.
to me this is more like you learned to be a woodworker because you liked actually creating things with your hand tools, and now all day long is just using a CNC router is copy-pasting CNC patterns from cncoverflow and then glueing the machined wooden pieces together.

it's not woodworking anymore, it's glueing and google-fu to find the best patterns on cncoverflow, together with maybe some shim-building here and there and making your own custom stain

I tried buying goods wholesale and selling at a market stall :) Failed dismally and lost money :( Need to have the right personality. The guys who were natural extroverts and spoke with a booming voice got most of the sales. It's the same in this blog post. He's a marketing guy and very tactful. He's good with people. Most other people who tried his "business" idea probably wouldn't get a single sale. So for the average person, it's even worse than what you suggest.

It's minimum requirement for a hire contract in Norway. 3 months mutual notification, and only in a few cases can you be fired on spot without compensation (theft and such). You can contractually increase the notification time from the baseline, but not decrease.

Makes for happy and productive workers, and also benefits companies who don't have to worry about loosing their best worker without notice.
if tax isn't theft, then the free market will decide to do the same thing..
Besides, the US really doesn't have much of a safety net, so even if I wanted to live "on the dole" here I don't really know how that's possible.

Social security disability is certainly one way. Having children is another way that will guarantee benefits for years. The US spends hundreds of billions each year on safety net programs. Someone is living off of it.

It would be very interesting to see how many people are lifetime net-spenders of tax money (not counting money paid as wages to government employees/contractors). I can't find any study that has tried to estimated that, but I would think that anyone who spent a few non-retirement years on safety net programs or in prison and whose income never went above the 50th percentile would probably be in that category.

If they offered free SSL for custom domains too, what's the incentive to upgrade to a paid dyno for applications that don't require a large amount of resources?

This is exactly my point. The fact that companies are still bucketing "SSL" into "things we can charge extra for" rather than "things that should be the absolute minimum we provide" is irresponsible.

It took me a while to understand that buyers are actually getting pirated books which has Amazon branding and are poorly produced (uneven binding, poor printing, missing content.. etc.)! I was incredulous, surely this is not part of Amazon's business strategy!

Then saw that maybe one of the Twitterati has guessed it right:

@marziah: Wait, how? Is someone copying the book and using Amazon as the printer? And they don't screen their direct prints?
I actually tried out Catch last night and dumped it almost immediately for the exact same reason. I was blown away by how slow it was compared to the rest of my (admittedly small) program in terms of build times.

I found using boost was a smaller hit to build times than Catch, and the suggestion of building catch in a separate translation unit didn't really help.

I'm guessing if your build times are already godawful you may not notice, but I sure as shit did.

Ultimate I found and went with dessert: https://github.com/r-lyeh/dessert

It's stupidly simple and doesn't do a lot of things that other C++ testing frameworks due, but it builds lightning quick and does 2 things I expect out of testing frameworks.

1. it tests, and
2. it reports failures.

I'll probably run into severe limitations that I can't deal with/work around, but for now I'm pretty happy with it and even if I end up using something else in 6 months, I'll still consider it worthwhile.

Sadly, at no point in the interview is the question asked in the headline answered.

There are special trucks set up to deliver 20ft/40ft containers anywhere. Since a large portion of goods flows by water you should not have a problem at any port in the world to load and unload your container.

The fee to deliver your container to it's final destination can be from a couple of hundred dollars and up depending on how far the truck driver has to go from the logistics company.

Logistically you can ship a 40 ft container (max weight) from China to Toronto Canada (delivered to premises) for $2000-2800.

The capitalist system writ large would much prefer that these people made $40,000 a year instead of $20,000, because then it could sell those people iPhones and whatnot.

I'm being glib, of course, but that's because there is no rational point to be made here. There are almost zero barriers to entry to businesses that provide goods and services to poor people. Buying a trailer park requires extremely little capital investment. Thus, there is no reason to believe that the pricing is predatory. Instead, the article is trading entirely on the ickiness (some) people feel about running a business catering to poor people.

I think limited housing options for poor people is a big problem. But it's not a problem created by business owners providing housing to poor people (or ones evicting poor people who cannot pay). It's a problem created by state and municipal governments that make it illegal to build dense housing, housing on small lots, housing that isn't to code, etc.
Just to give a bit more context:

* These are not elementary particles.
* It was predicted for a long time that these composite particles should exist. So it is not "new" in the sense that it was unexpected, but we finally have the resolution (energy, luminosity etc.) to detect these with statistical significance.
* These belong to the same class as protons and neutrons - these are hadrons made with multiple quarks.

Here's a super simple overview of Quantum Field Theory & Particle Physics:

Everything is made of force fields and matter fields.

* We discovered that force fields (i.e. electromagnetism) is quantized, giving rise to quantum mechanics etc.

* Matter fields are also quantized, hence their excitations behave like discrete particles - the ones we observe at the atomic scale, for instance.

* In hindsight, we should've been able to predict this after E = mc^2 telling us energy <> matter, thus if energy is quantized so should matter.

This may be a good thing for new start-ups. If investors are not "throwing good money after bad" they may have more fuel in the tank for new bets. Each massive round in a unicorn can fuel ten series A rounds.

Any stupid theory can outweigh the comforting lie of "just lazy", but that doesn't mean we have to reduce our skepticism.

The people who rent trailers to poor people would probably make much more money building nice houses and renting to richer people. It could be that one of the reasons poor people have so few affordable options is that people don't profit from serving them.

The article does nothing to argue against that possibility. It doesn't even acknowledge any alternative theory that could explain the same data, except the "just lazy" strawman.

It addresses it with counter examples that indicate that a "hierarchy of quality" is not something that really exists in consumer products. The fact that so many companies chose not to make the hierarchy clear is an indication that such a hierarchy isn't valuable to them.

Look at the luxury car sector. https://www.audiusa.com/models#sedans/ Can you tell the quality by its naming convention? I can't. I can sort of assume some quality hierarchy by the price though.

The fact that Apple has abandoned the "one phone, one tablet" model indicates to me that it hasn't been a valuable strategy for them.
