I was reading about PowerShell remoting and discovered one of the benefits of remoting is what you want out of something like this applied to Ansible: code blocks modules and other data can be handled across machines implicitly or explicitly.

I think such things abstracted out to a Python C&C system would be amazing myself.

I'd buy that. Now I'm wondering how this solution was found and how long it took to get adopted.
Why not simply encode the expiry date itself into the qr codes, then just decode that using software on the device. Even better, stamp a human readable date on the package like every other grocery product. Oh but then they couldn't track your usage and juicing habits! And you'd have to be able to read or something.
my favorite part was how he explained that they "source organic produce directly from farms".

Databases have traditionally gone to great lengths to bypass whatever heuristics the operating system is using for I/O scheduling and caching so that they can implement their own optimizations while maintaining their data consistency guarantees. Any changes to OS behavior you can imagine are also potentially applicable to databases that take this approach.
Totally with you here. The blockchain is an awesome experiment and prototype of what a good decentralized, verifiable system could look like, but it has several significant flaws, some of which are obvious even in the limited context of a worldwide ledger (bitcoin).

In particular, throwing away 47 zetaflops/s of computing power (the current compute power of the bitcoin network [0]) and all of the electricity required to generate it in order to verify the transactions of the tiny quantity of people currently using bitcoin is obscene, and the mechanism that encourages this should be recognized as the unscalable disaster that it is. Basing "Web 3.0" on such mechanisms is, frankly, a ridiculous proposition.

And all of this "decentralization" is thrown out the window by virtually everyone, because to store a full copy of the blockchain on your local disk, you need -- let's see --

$ du -sh /mnt/apps_syn/dot_bitcoin/
118G /mnt/apps_syn/dot_bitcoin/

120 gigabytes of space. So you end up just trusting Coinbase or whoever you have your wallet from anyway, no different than trusting your bank.

If Coinbase had an Ethereum moment, they could fork the chain that all of their wallets use, and with their MtGox-like domination of the market, any resistance to their fork would seriously damage Bitcoin overall. I imagine most miners would go along with it because they don't want their btc to drop to 0.

Consider also that there is virtually no transparency into the actual miner operations. The biggest miners are behind "pools" -- relays -- and though the idea is that pools are made up of tens of thousands of independently-controlled computers, I suspect that if we could see through to which machines were actually doing most of the work, bitcoin would suddenly seem a lot less "decentralized".

This is not to mention that miners behind pools are totally at the pool's mercy, or that 5 pools hold over 50% of the network's hashrate, and that these pool operators have been in one room together to decide on blockchain policy (re blocksize, which miners are incentivized to oppose, since smaller blocksize == higher transaction fees). That is little different than big banks meeting under the auspices of the Federal Reserve to control monetary policy.

It's very sad that people saw bitcoin and thought it was a good idea to expand its flawed model out, instead of accepting it for the forward-thinking prototype it was and thinking about how to improve it before jumping all in.

I recently went through a Docker Pluralsight course that made extensive use of this removed feature. I can scarcely imagine the politics behind this but it makes things much more confusing and the third party open source tool people recommend to replace it is difficult to use and doesn't provide the same information.
Altium Designer. I've never had to put up with such an unstable buggy (and expensive) piece of software before. Just reading the changelog makes it apparent that they have no regression testing, and every feature seems to start out as a great idea, but get implemented with one critical function missing or unreliable.
I'm not sure whether organic materials would be very happy with all their water content getting sublimated out of them due to the sudden drop in pressure.

You can check this for yourself:

1. Go to https://www.aircanada.com/us/en/aco/home.html

2. Select "One-way". Enter YVR (Vancouver) as "FROM" and SFO (San Francisco) as "TO". Depart on a date of your choice in the future. I'm going with 2017-05-01.

3. Look at results showing you whether each flight is mainline Air Canada, regional Air Canada Express affiliate (with regional affiliate identified) or Star Alliance partner flight operated by United.

4. Ask yourself whether you had to buy a ticket to see that.

You can do this with other airlines, too. For example, go to delta.com and ask for a one-way from SFO (San Francisco) to AMS (Amsterdam) on 2017-05-11. When I do that I see the first option listed is a direct flight, which says "DL 9389 is operated by KLM." Further down I see one with a connection in Paris which tells me "DL 8456 & AF 1440 are operated by Air France." There's one with a connection in Los Angeles which tells me that for the the SF-LA hop, "DL 4915 is operated by SkyWest DBA Delta Connection."

This is not secret hidden information. In fact, it's the opposite: airlines and third-party ticket agents are legally required to disclose the carrier who will operate the flight, and the US Department of Transportation will fine them if they try to keep it secret.

That's probably true in general, but the idea of 'code as contract' is supposed to be one of the defining features of Etherium. If the project wants to move away from that, then it should stop pretending that smart contracts are "applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference."

I speak from experience. Why that is such a problem for me to do is a thing I cannot fathom. Other members of this same forum routinely speak from experience as well without that being a problem.

Yes, I have a mild form. But I nonetheless have gotten off many drugs and grown healthier when that is supposedly not possible. So has my son with the same diagnosis. And I have known people with more severe forms who benefited from what I know. So I have good reason to believe that it generalizes.

But when I began to get better, my physician expressed no curiosity and simply scheduled me fewer appointments. So, that leaves me with sounding like a quack in online forums while trying hard to tread lightly so as to not wind up like Semmelweis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis

I say again: If you do not disagree with my point that addressing underlying causes is better than pain killers, why on earth do you need to try to dismiss the personal experiences that created that opinion?

I have different needs in my dotfiles for different contexts, so I've created a system where each file is represented by a folder, which contains separate file snippets for each context.

So in my vimrc folder, I've got a work file, a school file, a home file, and a base file (which applies everywhere).
Then I have a bash script that stitches all the relevant chunks together into a cohesive file for a given location. It can even do sub-locations by adding underscores to the name. E.g. 'work_nas' will produce a file consisting of the base, work and work_nas files, concatenated together.

This all sits in a private git repo, and I just manually copy the output files to wherever they belong whenever there's an update to them. I've been thinking for a while about writing a script to copy them into place, but GNU stow looks pretty interesting.
Some people have done sorta ok with this as a fallback position when their business model failed. I think it's a pretty dicey proposition. Foursquare did it after failing at everything else, and while they're ostensibly 'profitable' they're deeply in the red with little hope of a return to their investors. They're surviving to fight another day, but... eh.

Were you connecting from a Mac to Linux? Emacs on OS X has Esc as meta by default, which means you need to redefine the meta key to be Alt or else it's basically unusable.
Using an innocuous encoding of a word is a form of encryption. People who expect to be under surveillance agree on a set of code words to denote illegal things. Though hard, there are multiple ways to semi-automatically break such a linguistic encryption.

Imputation. [1] Remove a word from a sentence then try to predict it from its surrounding context. "when I get home tonight, i vape a ___ then space out". Assign predicted probabilities to imputed word ":leaf emoji:" ["marijuana cigarette", "electronic cigarette", "cigar"].

Active learning. Seed the algorithm with expert knowledge from law enforcement, drug users, and social workers, who know of the encryption keys.

Anomaly detection. Though perhaps easily-confused with other, innocuous usage, street slang is a distinct form of language with its own properties and patterns. Compared to common discourse, it is strange and random. This pattern could be measured.

Doing this rigorously, like building search engines for illegal drugs or human trafficking on the deep web, requires a lot of expert knowledge. [2] Maybe future deep learning can do this end-to-end on arbitrary domains? [3] Let's see.

McDonalds is surprisingly not bad at coffee these days. They overtook Costa and Starbucks in the UK in terms of cups sold.

Also the new self service kiosks make ordering a bit less grim http://burgerlad.com/2015/02/mcdonalds-touch-screen-ordering...
Their coffee tastes awful for the same reason that McD's makes awful food: it's optimized for standardization/consistency.

Starbucks roasts all their coffee to relatively exorbitant degrees to cover up the inconsistency brought about by their very-multi-origin sourcing.

Some Starbucks locations sell "single origin" coffee which tastes quite a bit better, if only because they don't have to hide the variance in taste and can afford not to roast it to hell.

The article mentions that by the metric of all causes of death, the bikers still have a 40% lower death rate.

There have been a number of other studies that put the expected increased lifespan (due to better health) vs expected decreased lifespan (due to accident) anywhere from 7:1 to 70:1. And that is just mortality; biking brings a host of benefits on top of that.

This video actually has audio included of the action on a small piece of cloth (~1 inch circle) - I could not hear anything when it was drying.

Batteries not lasting long is considered a limitation of our current battery technology. This limitation doesn’t currently exist for typical clothes dryers.

There’s no reason to introduce a new limitation unless the technology makes up for it in other ways. Having to replace a clothes dryer every two years would require the technology to be very good to justify such a burdensome task.
I am a bit extreme here as I think Mozilla shall reduce efforts on firefox and make thunderbird a great product instead, one reason is that chrome is too powerful to beat already, and thunderbird could become the universal email client for all, not much contender there yet.

after using slack for a while i feel we can use one slack-channel for each email contact, a bit like google wave probably, and thunderbird can merge email+slack experience into one.

Given that there are quite a few editors where people tend not to like the defaults (Vim, Emacs, VS Code, and Atom come to mind, at least for me), it sounds like what you're saying is "editors that beyond the specific set that have these problems don't have these problems", which doesn't seem terrible informative.
> In that case, Blink and WebKit are changing to Firefox (and Edge)'s behavior

The problem in FF isn't that they don't perform layout in the hidden iframe, it's that `getComputedStyle` returns `null`, which happens to be a side effect of not performing layout in Gecko.

If you read through the various related issues in your link I think you'll find that they are moving to standardize on not performing layout in hidden iframes, but `getComputedStyle` returning `null` is still a bug that Gecko intends to fix.
This problem has not been fixed ever - Robert Frost - legendary American poet - worked at a bank while he was famous.

Hi there,

>During the 2008 recession, McDonald’s leaned heavily on this facet of their business as they capitalized on an anemic property market – buying up more of the land and buildings where it operates.

I think a lot of why real estate works for them is that the business is not affected by recessions - they may even sell more burgers if people can't afford fancy places. So they can buy real estate cheap when others can't.

I don't understand why this is such a valued aspect of dryers. All clothes coming out of the dryer for me go right into my drawers / hanging. They don't get worn at the very earliest the next day. I rotate everything so I'm not just wearing the same socks and undies over and over again, so the vast majority of the time they don't even get worn then.

Is the psychological effect of folding warm clothes rather than cold really that powerful?
I don't think you are really understanding the context of the original quote. I would hope that most people with a reasonable thought process would recognize that building social structure is a very complex and difficult problem, but the path from here to "there", wherever "there" is requires "there" to be defined. I think the quote is talking about the ends, not the means. You seem to be talking about the means. The goal is building as peaceful, productive, happy, innovative, exploratory, fulfilled society as possible. Perhaps capitalism is our best mechanism at the moment, but as we evolve, we will hopefully get closer to that goal of not needing to spend money on war and being able to feed everyone, whether through better capitalism, or something else.

I'm no k8s fanboy (and I have the comment history full of replies from annoyed k8s contributors to prove it), but it's because they know that Kubernetes is going to end them. It relegates Docker to a swappable implementation detail.
Exactly. Everyone wants to buy but no one wants to be sold. Clients need a navigator on their journey to find a solution to their problems. They care about that. I tell my team the answer is never "no", its either "yes" or "not yet.". Most salespeople want only yes because they care about their needs. They become great salespeople when they realize their job is to serve their clients, not themselves. The OP should view his research the same way - stop thinking about your dreams of building something and start thinking about helping people. The sales will solve themselves if you get to that place in an authentic way.

When I read about Juicero yesterday[1] I thought the product was worthless. People however do sometimes chase after things which they feel to either make them rich or they have passion about.

But this statement by their CEO:

>> So when I saw this week’s headlines about hacking and hand-squeezing Produce Packs, I had a one overriding thought: ”We know hacking consumer products is nothing new. But how can we better demonstrate the incredible value we know our connected system delivers?

is not just ridiculous but even mocking their own customer and investors. Squeezing a pack of fruits is hacking? Someone here yesterday mentioned, in a lighter vein, Juicero adding DRM tech to their juicer. With statements like this from their CEO, they might very well make it true.

I'm not sure exactly how Apple draws the line (this looks like a store for digital stuff). If this approach gets popular (cryptocurrency to skip the 30% cut) I'm sure they'll pay more attention.

https://www.amazon.com/forum/amazon%20appstore%20deals/ref=c...

I'm not on board with the 30% commission explanation. On the Amazon ios app (normal retail app, not video only), I can buy everything but videos. Wouldn't they be hesitant to share 30% of the other billion dollars of revenue they do via ios?

https://www.quora.com/How-do-online-retailers-with-iOS-apps-...

Apple will only charge you the 30% of products sold through IAP.
The caveat here is that if you sell digital goods through the app you don't any option other than using Apple's IAP.

also, in another answer:

It also doesn't include all digital goods. Only those digital goods whose services would be consumed within the app are accounted for the 30% free by Apple.
