Well, while might be possible they were properly digesting/biodegrading the plastic involved, it's also possible they were just "chewing holes" in the plastic. eg mechanical action making the plastic smaller, but not changing its chemical structure

The caterpillars in the linked article are biodegrading the plastics into non-plastic (fairly quickly). That's the key thing.

Because most of the time hardware is cheap and building it quickly but inefficiently is better for the business than hand-aligning your opcodes to use the fastest part of the drum memory.
Well, you can change your own environment. This is personal, but what has worked has been one of:

* Have a gym close to work (i.e. 5 minute walk or less) and a corporate culture that lets you take 45-60 minute lunch breaks. Bonus - I find this makes my afternoons much more productive.

* Live 6+ cycle-able miles from work and ideally have a shower at work

* Be a student with a gym near your classes and an hour or two to kill between them

When one of these things is true I always manage to get a decent routine going. Without that I have always failed. Moving away from southern California to a place where I walk and cycle everywhere has helped.
Have you been playing since the NES was released or recently? I only started recently with emulators.
I don't understand how this is supposed to work.

People look very closely to what happens in their neighboring countries when deciding what to try and what to avoid. It is not true that one politician, who does not expect to get caught, is a sole responsible and everybody else is passive.

"Country Y had revolution and country X didn't. Turns out country Y never recovered economically and didn't make much progress. I will probably cut down on protests"

"Country C had ethnic cleansings and country B had reasonable ethnic policy. Country C did not suffer any punishment and is now successful. Country B suffers serious ethnic tensions and is an undesirable place. I would demand going harder on minorities"

You may be shielded from those narratives, living in a stable country. Guess what, not all of us do.
Ask HN: Which android app you use to read ebooks(epub)?
Maybe, maybe not.

Your rebuttal doesn't really make sense as a defence though. If you are OK with people you know, but not ok with new people - that sounds more like it would strengthen the "social anxiety diagnose".

However I am sure it is not introversion. Introversion is not related to social interaction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion_and_introversion#...

Don't get me wrong. I can see myself very much in your description, almost to a tee. My point is just that I think you are mistaken in your definition of introversion, and that you should read up on it and the common mistake of thinking it is the same as e.g. shyness etc.
Can all your task management tools and apps be unified into a single platform with self-customizable fields and What-you-need-you-create basis?

Would be great if could gather some users to play around with the web app and try to use it for all task management purposes (project management, asset management, CRM, Recruitment, and individual use-cases)

Let me know what do you think of it.
I see that as a non issue because of the jurisdiction they're in (a small Caribbean place).

If there is an issue (drugs, pedophilia, the usual suspects ...) they close it down immediately, claim they weren't owner of the content and were merely leasing the domain to the user, since a sub-lease is what they're effectively doing.

If the domain because popular, they can seize control of it easily, or start snooping on users, or do whatever the hell they want.

The issue I have is: when a host offers me coffee, what's the polite way to say "yes please, but not if it's instant"?
I have to say I do find it disheartening that everything is aiming for a subscription model. Software, food, etc. I know that it is a very profitable business model but it does make me wonder if I really want to live in a world where everything is by subscription.

These subscription models, or even machines that require only a certain type of consumable, are effectively leases. Sure you may buy a piece of hardware, but it is only useful for as long as you buy and use the required consumable.

I am comfortable in renting a place to live - especially since I have moved about every 2-3 years in recent memory - and I am comfortable paying a subscription fee for some software and services. But I am not that comfortable when I have to subscribe to food or clothing for example.
By Germany's victims I mean for example Poles, who fought on the allied side against the Germans and were later conveniently abandoned to become a part of Stalin's empire. Poland suffered losses far beyond the material (although in this area they were still greater than France or UK's) - Germans and Soviets both had executed targeted plans to murder educated Poles (imagine large percentage of people with bachelor or higher degree being rounded up and executed - that's far bigger blow than even destruction of many cities and factories). No help was extended though.

Polish elites' philosophy was that, although our country is occupied and we can no longer contribute weapons and other material goods to the war effort, we can still contribute blood (by fighting both on both Eastern and Western fronts, as well as organizing a massive military resistance in Poland). It turned out to be extremely naive on our part, as at the end we got discarded like an used tissue.
I think it is good he was sentenced! Any revisionism should be punished.
It is of course an illusion created because all the talent around a director is taken for granted. Put Steve Jobs or Elon Musk is Somalia and come back in 10 years and see what they had accomplished. Probably not very much at all. Elon Musk himself realized early that he could not achieve his dreams in South Africa and left.

The danger of focusing too much on the leading person, is one easily forgets that if one doesn't create a society full of talented engineers, scientists, teachers, with good infrastructure etc, then these people will not be able to do their magic.

It is easy to think that without Eddison there would have been no lightbulb, but really when you look at it, it becomes clear that if he had not lived somebody else would have done it. But they wouldn't have done it any random place. With high chance it would have been the US as well due to the presence of the right sort of mix of talent, drive, money and opportunity.

If you fail to create this environment then "great" leaders are useless.

Napoleon was a brilliant military strategist, but if he not lived France probably would have gotten another brilliant military strategist taking over Europe? Why because the French revolution created a system that allowed talent to flourish. Talented generals moved up the ranks fast rather than those with the proper names and family.

Unfortunately no-one sells ground coffee in small quantities. I don't know about Keurig, but those Nespresso capsules come in small packages and they have a long shelf life.

Context: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/02/romney-...

> Key line: "Obama took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy and sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China." Romney's wording of this statement in a prior speech was even stronger: "I saw a story today, that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep, now owned by the Italians, is thinking of moving all production to China."

> The claim originated in a Bloomberg News story, which the conservative Washington Examiner construed to mean that Jeep was struggling and considering moving some or all manufacturing from the U.S. to China as a result. When the Romney campaign was questioned about this statement, aides conspicuously stuck to it.

> In an important way it is the opposite of the truth. Between the 2009 bankruptcy filing and 2012, Jeep had robust growth. Its manufacturing in the U.S. was expanding and it was hiring workers. Its overseas sales also picked up, and it was considering re-opening shuttered factories in China. These facilities were not going to replace domestic manufacturing -- they were for making certain models of compact SUVs specifically tailored to the Chinese market, which are impractical to import from the U.S. So the statement, "Jeep is doing poorly and so will move manufacturing to China," is false, while "Jeep is doing well and may resume manufacturing in China," is true. (Furthermore, the deal that left Fiat with a controlling share of Chrysler emerged from talks begun before Obama was president.)
I certainly repudiate Kahane and the JDL.

That just makes your argument even weaker though. If you have to use a member of a fringe extremist group as an example to slander Jews then you're not standing on very firm ground.

No, other companies (of that size) are nothing like that. Yes, similar things obviously happen at other companies. The difference is that for Uber, it appears as if breaking laws and/or ethical norms was the intended modus operandi.

Contrary to popular opinion, companies can behave ethically, sometimes above and beyond what is required by law. I'd say the reasons are, in descending order of importance:

- Companies are people, who have a strong sense of right and wrong, and are usually quite eager to stay on the right side of the line dividing the two.

- "Company culture" which, just like a society's culture, actually sets the standards for what individuals consider right and wrong. This is what apparently broke down at Uber, because it's established quite early in an organisation's life. (I like to think that you can still see Steve Wozniak's playfulness in Apple's culture today, and that he may have stunted the worst of his co-founder's instincts from taking Apple down a similar path).

- Evolution: It's impossible for any company of significant size to keep secrets. If Google, Apple etc. were doing stuff like this on the same scale, they would no longer exist.

- The law, which is the codification of whatever society came up as in terms of morality

- "Corporate Governance", which is the codification of the symbiosis of law and company culture, plus mechanisms to enforce it.

But even if every company were as bad, I'd have to cite my Grandfather: "When did we start comparing ourselves to others?". Uber was up to a lot of stuff that shouldn't happen, and it shouldn't be excused. If you're asked to participate in such things, don't. If you fear you could be asked, or if you believe your company is forced to behave this way b/c competitors do, lobby for mechanisms to prevent it. Laws/Regulations/Industry guidelines on ethics fundamentally benefit everyone, because they prevent a Prisoner Dilemma's race to the bottom.

I'm sorry I did not explain the idea well enough for it to be understood.

I don't see it as productive to respond on the internet to the posturing and credentialing about who has seen more utility functions or taken more econ classes, as you wrote above.

I can assure you that Robert Pirsig garners utility at different costs and quantities in the scenario he described. That is all that a utility function is: a function of utility at varying quantities. This is an elementary topic and there's nothing more to be argued here. I'm sorry that explaining it again rubbed you the wrong way and encouraged you to write a condescending response towards me.
Its that way in all the niches, which makes it a set of all niches ==> mainstream thing.
Marshall Plan was offered to Poland by the U.S. but not accepted by the U.S.S.R. so the Poles were left without. I can't blame the Americans for that. (I'm Finnish, and we also got none of it, for same reason: Soviets. Edit: However, there was some more covert aid, such as the ASLA program which converted an old loan from 1919, which Finns had been paying back throughout the Winter War, into university scholarships for Finnish students.)

Edit: And yes, the Polish suffered particularly badly between Germany and Soviets. But the Germans/Nazis were not the only ones responsible for that. We know of Katyn Forest, we know of the fate of the Warsaw Uprising where Soviet advance deliberately stopped, allowing Nazis (this time I'd really use that word) to crush the independent Polish resistance.

Unfortunately no-one sells ground coffee in small quantities.

Many larger food stores and most specialty coffee shops sell coffee beans by weight and will grind them for you. So you can easily by just a small amount at a time if you want.
You need much more than that, a great product is no use if nobody knows about it.

I measure effort, complexity, risk, and dependencies all with one number. If you don't

Things that affect story point values for me. Note that some are more about quantifying "risk" than "how long will it take?".

- how "big" is the change?

- how many parts will be changed?

- are the exit criteria vague or open to interpretation?

- is the change easy to test?

- do we have sample inputs and outputs?

- will we have to design for a tricky deployment?

- will we have to design for a tricky rollback?

- will it be hard to peer review?

- if this feature is impossible or more expensive than we thought, will we know early or late?

- is any of the code being changed extra finicky?

- do I need lots of help? code from other teams? approvals? new software installed? new hardware?

- can I iterate on this code? or does it really need to be perfect the first time?

- will we have developer 'concurrency' or 'parallelism' issues? can anyone chip in and help whenever? or is one distracted expert the only one that can do this?

...for me it's an intuitive guess at a number that flattens all that into something we can use to prioritize work and decide that work needs to be broken down more. What exactly is on that list will vary, certainly, but I would put on anything that could cause bugs, make you wait, or make you underestimate a task.
tl;dr: I took a month leave of absence without pay from a highly coveted position in a competitive workplace to volunteer in Louisiana for the American Red Cross after Hurricane Katrina, in 2005. I risked a hard-earned position in the company to do what I felt was the right thing. To this day, it remains one of the most important decisions of my life that I've grown from ever since.

In 2005, I was two years into my career from university as a programmer in a highly coveted position for a company, in the American northeast, that was at its peak. something profound happened that began a new.. dimension.. in my life that hadn't existed before but since defines an important part of who I am today: Hurricane Katrina devastated the American gulf coast.
I worked incredibly hard to earn my position in the company and dedicated myself entirely to my career. Yet, the country was dealing with a major catastrophe and I felt that I could contribute in a positive way to the effort if I were to get involved. I could have easily donated but chose not to. Donating felt like an excuse not to do something more meaningful. Instead, I decided to volunteer for the American Red Cross.

We stopped selling it last year to focus on our next product, which is aimed to solve the root of the email problem. It definitely has a future, so stay tuned!

But through working with our customers for years, we saw that while we really helped people get their email more organized, we weren't solving the root problem: that anyone can dump anything they want into your inbox in the first place.

We felt called to double down on a killer solution we figured out for that problem first (https://throttlehq.com/).

Agreed. Such code without decent doctests is close to useless. Also - try to get decent code coverage if you can.
Nothing to do with the leather - everyone has nice leather now, even Chinese no-brand brands you get for $80 on Amazon. "Balenciaga" means almost all the price is in the name - not only is it designer, but there's a hierarchy of designers in which it's far from the bottom; to pick another name off the top, this'll make anyone with a Coach bag turn green, even if it's a lot closer to the top of that line than this is to this. Also, blue leather's tough to pull off in general, and you have to be both confident and daring to even try it. So it makes you the one to beat stylewise, and makes that hard to do, both at the same time.
> My problem with exercise is simply time

No, your problem with exercise is prioritising.

You could spend less time at the gym. You could (probably) go running around your work or your home. You could work out or do yoga at home. You could even work out or stretch in the office during breaks!

If you believe it's important enough, you'll find a way to make time. When I started my first job (90's, 3-letter IT company), I was doing 1.5 to 2 shifts + weekend work, so 80-90 hour weeks. I made do with 20-30 minutes of callisthenics in my (tragically small) living room. 7x a week, that adds up to 3-4 hours a week, not insignificant.

Also, find friends who want to be active, not just to go the pub and drink and watch sports (instead of taking part). Get your GF interested in (doing) sports too, and it's a win-win situation.

Please don't take this to be insulting, just trying to explain that once you find a compelling factor, you'll be able to make it work. And once you make it a lifestyle, you will find it uncomfortable to NOT be active.

You'd also be surprised at some of the people from varied walks of life you'll meet; rock climbing in the 90s was festooned with mathematicians and engineers as a progression from mental to physical chess; today it's the domain of the teens, but I'm fine with that as a natural evolution of the consumerism and commodization of most sports. And triathlons, adventure races and ultras have a lot of high-wealth folks participating nowadays, in the current culture of shifting from collecting assets to collecting experiences.
I suggest that you try asking random women in the office to bring you soup and see how that goes.
>... we won't know, for sure, that this device isn't being used by the political elite in order to maintain their powers.

As much as I'd love to agree with you, I don't realistically see how it would be practical to blackmail people with a blimp.

For targeting the vast majority of people (politicians included), accessing the sum total of that person's digital life already sitting in storage is more than ample. Browsing history, chat logs, video calls, phone conversations, banking information, medical history, geolocation data. It's all there already.
