A million a year? Where? Only 30k a year in US, and driving deaths per mile traveled are a fraction of what they once were. Driving is a very safe way to travel, safer than horse-back and previous alternatives.

Why not get rid of beef and graze bison? There's wild bison in Canada, as well as ranched bison. Cattle aren't natural to the ecosystem.
One wonders what it could be about Africans that enabled Europeans to progress so far past them in the 19th and 20th centuries. Perhaps it's their cultures, or their religions, or their DNA, but something sure painted a bulls-eye on the backs of all those people. The French, the British, the Germans, even --- christ, especially --- the Belgians.

We in the US have little trouble acknowledging the legacy of slavery in our country. That happened over a century ago. Rwanda didn't gain independence from Belgium, which engineered the sectarian divisions that produced the Rwandan genocide, until 1961. Apartheid didn't end in South Africa until the nineteen nineties.

It takes some kind of --something--- to suggest that the Europeans have something to fear from the Africans.

Yes, there is a lot of heat that must be removed quickly.

As well, savings can be had by running separate hot/cold aisles - cold air goes into the front of the racks, and the hot air is of course found on the other side of the racks, so that hot air is the focus of the chiller.
What is your opinion on Dart? I could see Google encouraging devs to learn Dart and make Flutter apps soon. Probably at I/O.
They do a lot of brand gating, but not on demand like you'd want.

I don't think you'll gain much from re-skuing products. You'll lose all your reviews and ranking, and at best will get a few months until the counterfeiters find the new listings.

Also, you can't fully close the old ones, so people will still sell on them, there will be multiple search results, bad customer experience, etc.

The better approach is to go after the sellers through Amazon, send infringement notices, etc. Might take some time, but once done they'll be gone forever.

If you'd be interested in having a conversation with me about these issues, we can set something up, email's in my profile. I'm heading back from the ASD show right now and I'll be swamped for a few days but email and we can work something out.
Isn't that the explicit job of a BDFL though? To enforce standards?

Square quotes mine. This should be standard practice for all tax filers using an online tool or downloadable application. In most cases you, as the taxed citizen, will be held liable for any mistakes on your return. Very few situations will find the tax software provider being legally at fault for an incorrect calculation. Protect your own ass(ets) by verifying your input with separate providers. If there any discrepancies, figure out why and file with the correct result. Do not try to "get away with" filing with the provider that is most in your favor without understanding the reason; from the point of view of your government, you might be filing a fraudulent tax return. Willful negligence of tax law is not a valid excuse in their eyes.
How so? It's a slight exaggeration, but fundamentally correct. Commodity monies would hardly be worth anything without their additional value as a medium of exchange.
For most teams, YC's financial investment is the least valuable part of the program. Much more valuable:

- access to other YC founders (partnerships, advice, etc.)

- social proof to investors, press, customers of having done YC
My understanding is that there are several forms of microcode updates.

Sometimes the microcode can do simple patches like inserting a nop between problematic instruction combinations. This usually doesn't have much (if any) negative performance implications. The instruction decoder (again AFAIK) is fairly programmable.

However if there is a more serious flaw in the actual silicon the microcode must rewrite the problem instructions to emulate the correct behavior and that can make it extremely slow - think emulating floating point but not quite as bad.

Former John Deere employee here. The company isn't being spiteful or doing this to corner the repair market; they do it to avoid legal liability and fraudulent warrantee claims. They're an extremely risk-averse company.

EDIT: By the way, I favor owner's rights (my family farms with Deere equipment, and I think there's tons of mutual advantage in open sourcing software in this case specifically and in general), but as is often the case, the "greedy corporate oppressor" narrative is too simple.
If they aren't the only alternative that comes to my mind is someone /buys/ an actual Amazon Basics product, doesn't open it, and somehow sells it elsewhere while 'returning' a counterfeit product or defective unit to the inventory.

However if they (Amazon) are doing their job then the risk to reward ratio should be far too high on this.
A former coworker was a QA manager at Intel. He said it was an explicit decision to cut back on validation and QA, which is why he wasn't at Intel anymore. The general feeling was that they had "overreacted" to the Pentium FDIV bug and needed to move faster.

I understand this doesn't affect EPA laws, but most US states exempt farm vehicles, even things like pickup​ trucks (that can legally drive on roads even) from state emissions testing.

They also allow exemptions to use untaxed fuel in them, etc.

Basically, there's a sort of exemption ecosystem that might have farmers thinking they are free to do whatever they want around fuel and emissions. Which is only partially true...

Tavis has a documented track record of poor interpersonal behavior. It's time that people stopped focusing exclusively on the quality of his discoveries and started to ask if his behavior is one we want to implement.

Given what he does, the quality of his discoveries are really the only important thing. Do you really think that "form over function" is important in the context of what he does?
Many of the other parts are even more unhealthy though. E.g. you can eat the skin, and it's considered a delicacy in Ghana and South Africa, but it's not exactly good for you. Especially when it's doused in poison to keep insects off the cows.

I'd like to address this specific portion of the article: "Ignatiev quotes John Finch, an Englishman who travelled the US in 1843, saying: “It is a curious fact that … the poorer class of Irish immigrants in America, are greater enemies to the Negro population … than any portion of the population in the free States.”"

On the surface it might seem that one downtrodden group would instinctively support another one out of solidarity, but in reality a lot of racism has its origins in economic competition. The Irish and African Americans were competing for the same menial and manual jobs in many places, which lead to distrust, anger, fighting, and racism. You could see some of this happening when mining companies would bring in African Americans as scabs during strikes which lead to violent brawls. The Irish weren't fighting a WASP for a job, they were fighting other immigrants or ethnic groups.

This same reality continues to this day in many places. Ask someone who works in a field where an undocumented immigrant might compete with them for a job how they feel about it and compare that to someone working at Facebook or Google who isn't worried about the cleaner taking their job as DBA.

More broadly your collective point applies to larger megastructures like Matrioshka Brains (concentric Dyson Spheres). At some point maybe the convergence starts to look like an equation of state for some form of degenerate matter, arranged in very very thin concentric spheres.

I'm a white female who grew up where there were no (at the time) African or other-similar-haired women. Not Paris, New York or London safe to say. It was only after spending time in the U.S. that I was introduced to things such as weaves, nappy hair, extensions, wigs.. it goes on. A huge industry and it's completely different from how I and my fellow-caucasian friends approach hair, which is essentially shampoo, condition & blow dry with a variety of products to create and fix shape. It's a different world.

You can see some development in the AOSP repos (follow https://r.android.com) that supports this. For example, libhwbinder (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/libhwbinder...) looks to be an interface for talking with a /dev/hwbinder device, and the kernel seems to have been updated recently to support multiple Binder device instances. HAL interfaces are defined in HIDL, which looks to be implemented here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/libhidl/+/m... (along with a separate hidl tool in another repo).

Sometimes black markets are simply a way to get a product cheaper (or free) but the best way to beat the market is a better product and not lawyers. I used to be a heavy user of pirated PC games but have stopped completely now that game developers actively update games for years after their release. Probably a pain for the developers but the shift has lead to much better products and gives a strong incentive to legally purchase products without resorting to "strong arming" your customers.
Most Americans have never eaten beef grown on a family farm where its grass fed, no hormones nor antibiotics ... even store bought expensive organic beef pales in comparison ... family friends own such a wholesome farm and I can say their beef is incredible and its not even beef cattle its Swiss Brown and Jerseys which are milk cows ... even beef from high end restaurants is no match for beef from such a caring gentle farm ... the quality of beef has suffered greatly in the name of profits due to industrial scale multinationals who dominate the mass market
I ran into this recently while shopping for SLR filters. The listing on amazon.ca [1] looked pretty legit but price was too good and a few reviewers claimed these were fake. What threw me off in particular is that the seller for these B+W filters is B/W. However once I checked what else B/W was selling alarms went off immediately as it's all kinds of stuff with "BW" in the name, like these cheap security cameras [2].

I'm not sure how the average person has a snowball's chance in hell of spotting stuff like this on Amazon. It's getting very sketchy.

Isn't almost all range beef "finished" in feedlots? And feedlots are 50% of muscle mass? And the point is that it produces cheaper beef than all-grass? That doesn't bode well for achieving a balanced, ecologically sound option.

Assuming the browser window is maximized, even if most screens are 1920x1080 the browser viewport area will differ based on OS, window manager, and custom settings.
The seller does not pay for the buyer to receive their agent's service, except in accounting terms. The commission to the agents is (should be; if you as the seller aren't thinking of it that way, you're misconceiving the situation) priced into the cost of the home. All the money in the deal comes from the buyers.

When realtors' business model gets disrupted, sellers will not end up getting the same prices for their houses as they do currently, or get to keep the 6% that now goes to agents - that money will simply drop out of the cost of buying homes (except for the new, smaller, cost that will be captured by the new business model).

random commentary below:

* FloydHub – Heroku for deep learning *

It's unlikely in my eyes that a company with enough data worth doing deep learning for is going to outsource the actual model building. I'd be interested to hear counter examples.

* Tetra – Automatic notes for business meetings *

I think this is worthless. Meetings important enough to warrant for "paid notes" will have people taking notes, on their own (company) dime anyway. Not to mention taking notes will improve your engagement in the meeting. Not to mention the privacy implications.

* Collectly – Stripe for medical debt collection *

Pretty interesting. Hard to comment without knowing what the success rate is for an average debt collector. I fear there's some selection bias in the stats techcrunch shared.

* Indigo Fair – Amazon for local retailers*

Unfortunately I think local retailers are slowly dying. I do think this is an interesting niche that could be successful.

* Lively – Modern healthcare savings account (HSA)*

This too could be successful. Most people who'd do this probably have an HSA that's offered by their employer, unless they're trying to replace that.

* KidPass – One pass for “amazing activities for kids”*

I'm surprised at the success this is seeing. I do think parents are a good group to exploit though. Overworked parents want the logistics of spending time with their kids to be outsourced these days. Plenty of rich parents in NYC too.

* Upcall – Outbound calls as a service*

Not a huge fan of spamming services.

* Niles – Conversational wiki for business *

It's cheap enough, I guess.

* Sycamore – Onboarding drivers for on-demand jobs *

Looks interesting, but don't see how it'll address the drivers making so little part techcrunch mentioned.

Developing Your Facebook Messenger Chatbot in PHP
While John Deere does buy OEM parts, it designs and builds a lot of stuff in house, including engines. It owns and operates foundries and it even designs its own embedded computers (and writes the firmware, operating system, CAN drivers, and application software). It probably takes longer to prepare the factory for a new model-year build of an existing tractor than it takes some software vendors to get an MVP to market. There's lots of inefficiency there, but it's not likely a startup will be disrupting this industry anytime soon (and if they do, it will look more like fleets of small, simple, semi-autonomous drone tractors than conventional equipment).
