This is interesting to me because one of my favorite weird hobbies is going to my grocery store, taking a photo of the milk with the farthest date, and sending it to my friends as a sort of game.

I shop at Stew Leonard's most of the time (locations in NY and CT). The milk I buy there is organic and lasts a hell of a long time compared to the milk I frequently see in other supermarkets. The current record I've seen is a gallon of milk with an expiration date 63 days from the day I saw it. I'd say the median is maybe...50 ish days (I shop on Sundays, when I think they've likely restocked).

I regularly buy three gallons at a time, and to this day I find it to be the most fun and humorous part of shopping at the grocery store. This milk has literally never gone bad for me and it tastes delicious.

After reading this article, I'm really interested in knowing whether or not it's heat-treated! I have always assumed it lasts so long because Stew Leonard's owns their own farms relatively close to the grocery stores.
TL;DR: here's the list of psychological tricks mentioned in the article:

1. When driver's are about to log off, it tells them that they are very close to reaching an earnings target, such as "You are $6 away from making $40 net earnings". The target is set by Uber, and is always just out of reach.

2. Uber suggests to drivers that they should go to a certain area for better chance of finding riders. The article says this might be an example of where Uber benefits at the expense of drivers because Uber does not prefer surge pricing.

3. Uber prompts drivers to accept the next fare opportunity before the current ride is over.

4. Uber tells new drivers when they are 50% towards the goal of 25 first rides.
At 25 rides Uber will pay a 'signing on' bonus.

5. Some Uber employee's would pretend to be women when communicating with the (overwhelmingly male) drivers.

6. Lyft did a split test of two different calls to action: (a) "You're losing $15 per hour by driving on Tuesday mornings instead of Friday evenings"; and (b) "You would make $15 per hour more by driving on Friday evenings instead of Tuesday mornings". They found that (a) was more effective, but eventually decided not to use this approach [for reasons not explained in the article]

7. Uber provides non-cash rewards to drivers in the form of 'badges' like "Above and Beyond", "Excellent Service" and "Entertaining Drive". It also gives drivers stats like how many trips they have taken in the current week, how much money they have made, how much time they have spent logged on and what their overall rating from passengers is.
Almost everyone would react the way you describe-- the first time. But people are resilient. Expose them to enough atrocity, and if they survive, the horror of it will fade until it becomes a prosaic fact of life. We see it in soldiers. We see it in EMTs.

The coping mechanisms are not perfect. What we now call PTSD has and will continue to destroy lives long after the fighting is over. But they do allow for continued functioning in the field. For better or for worse.
Ran into a similar problem with my modem -- the website clearly said it was supported, but three different phone service reps said it wasn't. I went out, spent $100 on a new surfboard modem, didn't help. When they finally sent a tech out, he said my original modem was fine.
When people say something is "magic" they don't mean it is literally inexplicable.

"The flu destroyed her organs. She didn't even know it."

Taking the flu seriously is definitely advisable, but something sounds amiss here.
> Immigration is irrelevant. It's automation that's the real issue. And Pres Trump and his voters are living in some wistful golden era where Trump can bring back all of those magical jobs and "Make America Great Again"

It's not that at all. Trump realizes that, for example, the steel industry would not employ as many people as it did in the 1970s even if we barred all imports. It simply takes far fewer people to produce a ton of steel today than it did back then.

But for people who would work in steel mills today if the jobs were still around, why shouldn't they get first crack at jobs that are still around today that are not vulnerable to automation and imports, like landscaping or hanging drywall, rather than those jobs going to low-skilled, low-educated immigrants, illegal or otherwise, who in many cases are working under the table, not paying income taxes?

The Democratic party is stabbing those people in the back. Those people don't want UBI, they want decent jobs. And they're being royally screwed by the party to whom they were so loyal for so long.

> Trumps views are either dishonest, predatory, or completely delusional.. I'm not sure which.

> The implications of all of them are terrifying.

Trump's views are based on putting the interests of working-class American citizens ahead of the citizens of other countries, unequivocally and unapologetically.

And the Democratic party and their smug upper-class elites do indeed find that terrifying, as well they should. Trump is not like other gutless Republicans who are either in the pockets of big business, or who are still afraid to be called racist.

And that's why they're going all in to destroy Trump. They realize that if he's successful, it could be the beginning of a sea change that could drive the Democrats out of power at the federal level for decades.
Please google Susan Fowler and stop using Uber altogether -- like it really shouldn't be a debate about how crappy their arrival estimates are at this point -- they are a company that has no soul.
This reminds me of a recent observation by (I think) some Princeton ethical philosopher, that any theory of human behavior becomes invalid once it becomes known by a significant proportion of the population, because people's behavior anticipates expectations of their behavior.
If you're suggesting that lower-income people would be more likely to dispute the charge due to it having a larger impact on their bottom line, I strongly suspect you're wrong.

People in that demographic tend to, in my experience, not put forward the effort to get things like that refunded. Even though the money is important to them, it's frequently conditioned that it will take hours of time and effort to recoup the $5, and that's hours and effort they simply don't have.

Whether or not it actually takes that amount of time is irrelevant. The problem is that people expect it will take too much of their time to deal with and simply let the money go.

This is yet another example of Uber treating their customers like shit. If it's easy enough for them to determine that the cancellation was legitimate and issue the refund, they should do so proactively. Waiting for customers to complain before returning money they collected for a service they did not provide is as user-hostile as anything else they do.

I will never give another dollar of my money to Uber.

This survey is for software developers. Not IT positions. And, it only shows a plurality (26%) of hiring via network connections. And on top of that, it's a survey of Stack Overflow readers...so if you're presuming it is representative of the labor market at large, I suggest you have not received adequate education in critical thinking.
Having lived in Zimbabwe for almost three years, I'd say that while the average American is better off financially, the average Zimbabwean is happier with their lives. Close knit families and friends seem to be the big reason why.
Great advice on here. Index ETFs all the way.
That wasn't true until very recently. they allowed you to see their latest prices, but did not allow you to book.

Most of their travel traffic is from the leisure segment anyway, so them not getting business traffic isn't the end of the world
I'm pretty sure this is not going to help "ordinary" people. Unless they already think like you and me.

When I was a kid, I wanted to know how all the black boxes worked -- one of my greatest days was when my father explained the internal combustion engine well enough that cars no longer seemed like magic.

Later I noticed that many people -- especially when talking about electronics -- would ask "How does it work?", when they actually meant "How do you use it?" I thought this was just a quirk of the Australian dialect, but as I gained more experience with people, I realised it was really an aspect of human thought.

To most people, knowing "how it works" is no more than being familiar enough with the magic spells that you can use them with confidence.
That survey shows that ~27% got in through some sort of connection, but the remaining ~73% didn't. So roughly 3/4 of those surveyed didn't use connections to land gigs.

From my experience working in management over the past decade, I can say with some confidence that most computer science programs excel at pushing out people that can not, in fact, code in the real world.

Sure, they can solve ACM-style challenges and spit out Dijkstra on a whim, but I can't recall the last time I needed to deliver on a business objective that mapped to either of those things.

This is not to say that understanding computer science is bad! Having a deep understanding of the underlaying theory and technology is a requirement to attain mastery.

But being able to ship maintainable, well-factored, and properly-tested code in a collaborative environment is far more important to me than having memorized every algorithm in TAOCP.

I mean, if I can have both skillsets, I'll totally take both skillsets, but given the choice between the two, I know that a wizard-level software engineer with very weak algorithms skills will, in general, bring a lot more value to a project than a wizard-level computer scientist that can't write code that the rest of the team can maintain.

About the only time that a computer science wizard is useful to me, is if I already have a team of solid software engineers, so that they can mentor each other and lift the overall skill level of the team.

What universities really need to start doing is including a multi-year track built into their curricula whereby students build and maintain production software over the course of their studies, with quarterly rotation between teams.

It's even simpler than that: they're already too old (over 30), and they continue to age at a one day per day rate no matter how well they're trained. It is possible to train oneself to be as stupid, naive and exploitable as necessary, but as long as the assumptions about who has those desirable qualities can be based on age, that training is unlikely to do you much good.

This so-called "sexism" has never truly existed. There has only been sexual dimorphism and its consequences.

Societies that put women in charge of military strategy and soldiering did not survive against those who put men in those positions. The reason being that natural selection has specialized the role of each sex quite narrowly, such that major deviations from said niche result in severe fitness costs.

As such, we can dream up post-modern utopias where the Y chromosome is just a social construct along with testosterone and its resultant physiological effects. However, natural selection will drag us kicking and screaming back to reality, every single time.

Don't believe me? Sort countries across the world by birthrate. Notice something? The "feminist" countries are doomed. They have the lowest birthrates, by far. They will cease to exist within a century, some even sooner. The future belongs to those who show up.

Post-modern feminism is a death cult, a suicidal memeplex that will without fail destroy any human society that embraces it. It is fascinating, but evolution cannot be bargained with, and it cannot be protested into submission.

Natural selection is not only a force of nature, it IS nature. Relentless, omnipresent, and eternal.
Yes, with a giant mirror. And that's the best way to do it. But note that all lasers spread out in a cone -- they aren't a perfect column. The angle of this cone can only be made smaller by making very large optical equipment (I'd guess in the form of a large parabolic mirror collimating an earlier stage as best it can) which means far away probes only get a fraction of the energy Earth is sending. This also means the reflection only has a small portion of the initial light, and then the reflected beam spreads out with its own cone as well. So the deceleration stage is vastly longer than the acceleration stage.

Not true, you can carry lockpicks whenever you want. Buying, owning and possessing them is not a problem. It only becomes a problem if the cops find them on you and they had reasonable grounds to think you were going to use them. This is the same for a crowbar, a screwdriver or a brick. The lockpicks themselves are fine.

I thought the norm was between 低温殺菌 and UHT, but it looks like you're right. The method is however different from the one used for UHT in France, which is why they can't be kept more than 10 days. However, it's possible to find "long life" milk that can be preserved at room temperature for a couple months, that is also UHT, but also tastes much better to me.

Yea, I can tell you its already happening in PA.
> Don't blame the immigrants, blame those who are fully or partly paying under the table.

I blame the federal government, which has willfully failed to enforce the laws that are already on the books.

And the Democratic politicians running these "sanctuary cities" who are willfully thwarting enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The Democrats and their smug upper-class elites have well and truly stabbed the American working class in the back. Anyone who thinks Trump won Michigan and Pennsylvania because of Wikileaks is way off the mark. That's the last thing a man cares about if he has a family to raise and a mortgage and he's only qualified to do manual labor and he's unsure that he'll be able to stay employed to retirement.

Oh, and constantly calling those people racists and xenophobes doesn't help the Democratic party much among those people either.
That is indeed what I'm saying. And the converse is also true - if someone needs excuses for failure, they can always find plenty.

There are places where Uber is the safest way to get to the right destination without getting scammed, ripped off, or taken to a competing hotel or "travel agent" by a driver who's getting kickbacks from them. And in those places it's either Uber or take your chances.
Yeah, I think you summed it up.
I'm projected to be able to retire in about 40 years, according to the NZ government, but I'm well aware of the fact that pension will never come. Still I'm forced to support baby boomers retiring in their 60s - people who were able to attend university for free and afford houses even on low-skilled jobs.

We should end the madness now.
I suppose. When you update and depend on a global atom your functions aren't pure, at all, in any sense.

Why are you even using FP at that point?

Global application state should be represented in a single root storage; the application data store (ie. database), and the interactions with it should be controlled and sanitised.

If you have a thousand little places across your code base updating and reading from the database, that's horrible code too, in java or in clojure...

Modern UI frameworks are carefully controlled access and update to the display state for a UI; they happen in a controlled and orderly manner specifically to prevent the chaos you get otherwise; if not, you're doing it wrong.

This section in the om docs covers their solution, which is quite elegant: https://github.com/omcljs/om/wiki/Quick-Start-(om.next)#glob...

(notice, you don't just reach out and update atoms directly by hand; there's nothing wrong with having a global application state; that's a good thing, but directly interacting with it is not)
Sounds about right. I paid $4.50 for a warm (12 oz) can of Shasta root beer in Koliganek, AK.

Keep in mind that these prices are for very small, very remote towns where everything is flown in (or driven over the ice in winter), not downtown Montreal or Anchorage.

It really depends on your interests. Most mainstream programming languages have dedicated subreddits, so that's a good place to start. /r/programming is a great place for general programming news, but it usually overlaps with HN. /r/netsec is another excellent subreddit with general security-related news and content.

I think the beauty of Reddit is that it's all up to you to curate the content, which obviously makes it hard to recommend things to read for others :P

Yeah, I wish there was a little more color on the details of what the flu really did, why it was so dangerous in this instance, and if it was possible to identify which form of flu was responsible.

When a story like this is pushed, and relevant details are excluded, one might sense an agenda. Maybe there are reasons to exclude details, regarding medical privacy, but without them, the article is reduced to "flu dangerous, can kill."

For example, does one flu shot inoculate for all flus? If not, then which flu shots were available, and would any of those flu shots have helped at all in this situation? How can we draw accurate conclusions without complete information?

Massive difference in taste between UHT and pasteurised but you must understand there's different use for either. I did a course on espresso coffee and clearly remember the teacher telling us that for the best cappuccino you should use full fat UHT as opposed to pasteurised milk. You'll also notice that many coffee chains use UHT. On the other hand eating cereal with UHT has a funny taste. Either way the benefit of UHT is that it can be stored without reliable refrigeration, especially useful in developing countries with a sparse or unreliable power grid.

One time tired me got off an international flight and wanted a hotel. I ended up hooking through hotel tonight and got a corporate apartment (!) accidentally in my tired trance. it was not too expensive but just really strange I missed that. It was a nice apartment, furnished terribly, and enough room to sleep probably 6 people. Weird app. But I love it, great for road trips where you don't know where you want to call it quits for the day.
