The example ideophonogram should really include the tone of each sound, and whether it can be used standalone or only with certain other characters in words. As a foreigner living in China these are the characters I know how to read, mainly from noticing the radical with one eye and the phonogram with the other:

青qing1 "blue/green"
清qing1 "clear"
晴qing2 "bright"
情qing2 "feeling", mainly used in other words, e.g. 情况qing2kuang4 "circumstances"
请qing3 "invite"
睛jing1, used in 眼睛yan3jing "eye" where tone becomes neutral (don't confuse with 眼镜yan3jing4 "glasses")

Those 6, along with 精jing1 (in 精神jing1shen2 "spirit") and 静jing4 "calm", are really the only 8 common ideophonograms of 青 I come across. These other two I didn't know because they're used so infrequently:

鲭 qing1, only used in 鲭鱼qing1yu2 "mackerel" (the 鱼 radical repeats)
蜻 qing1, only used in 蜻蜓qing1ting2 "dragonfly" (and 蜻蛉qing1ling1 "damselfly") -- note the 虫 radical is used in each character
Not sure about blue apron. I use hello fresh. It's sourced locally and there's no waste in food. The box is recycled and the freezer pack they pick it up once I fill up a box full.

Honestly, corporate taxes don't make much sense. It would be much better if we reduced the corporate tax rate to 0% and made up the difference by increasing capital gains tax.
Okay, but _just_ lowering the top-line number doesn't do anything about that. It just lowers the top-line number.

If he was proposing making the top-line number 15% and removing all deductions and credits, then you'd have a more compelling point.

Myself, I'm going to wait until a full tax plan comes out before passing judgement one way or another. One number devoid of context tells us nothing.

Wow, that is amazing. I've seen less engineered products never make it to production.

I would quibble about the custom power supply though, they are not as difficult as they were in the past. Much of the 'magic' of building good SMPS supplies has been encapsulated into very clever chips and certification bodies have seen enough of them now that the checklists are pretty straight forward.

I don't get the outrage though.

I'm not sure if it has been proven mathematically. The statement that the long-term evolution of the system will tend towards equipartition is equivalent to the system being ergodic. Ergodicity means that statistically any particular state is as likely as any other. These systems are observed (both in reality and in simulation) to be consistent with being ergodic. But I'm not sure it's been proven. I'm also not sure that it has been proven that gasses are ergodic either, even though experiments are consistent with them being ergodic.

Just imagine how much some poor highschooler would have to chug. Yuk.
The corporate tax rate here in Canada is 15% for profit up to $500,000, and 25% after that.

We also have a lot of rules in place to prevent income from being double taxed, for example if my business pays taxes on $400,000 in profit and I take $150,000 in dividends, I get credit for the 15% in taxes that the business already paid and am only responsible for the other ~15% that I would have owed if I had made all of that $150,000 in regular personal income.

I was surprised to find that the US corporate tax system is so brutal compared to what we have here. Higher rates, double taxation, enforcing that you pay yourself a salary and not just dividends, etc.
Hi, you asked the following on an older thread "Do you happen to know any accredited university or institution that would do that? Maybe with some examinations?"

You might be interested in Thomas Edison State University, which is an accredited, public university in Pennsylvania with a distance education focus that places on emphasis on giving credits for employment experience and credit by examination for degree completion purposes.
That's not globbing but using the regex matcher. perl's glob does the same as PHP, it simply calls the system glob.
So I'm curious why the graph displays it as exponential on linux, where it should be linear.

In your example pcre2 performs much better than perl btw: it errors with match limit exceeded (-47), while perl happily burns exponential CPU. It's now even worse than before Russ' original perl article. Now it descends into heap memory, before only into the stack. So now it will keep crunching forever on the whole heap, while before the perl 5.10 rewrite triggered by Russ it died fast on stack overflow.

I get the basic concept, but I was thinking of all of the waste in the-take out packaging.

I'm trying out Blue Apron right now. As far as packaging:

* 1 big box
* 1 "bubblewrap" cooler bag
* 2 huge ice packs
* Misc. plastic bags for produce
* 3 small paper bags for "extras"

The box and the refrigeration setup are definitely wasteful (even ignoring the environmental cost of shipping it), but the packaging on the produce is pretty minimal.

Wow, this is an amazing teardown of the machine. Re the "apply force to the whole thing equally at once" problem mentioned at the end, I wonder if you could do something more like a roller on one side and a plate or another roller on the other, that rolls down from the top of the pack to the bottom.

Also, as overwrought and unnecessary as the Juicero product is, I can't agree with the "it's useless because you can do it by hand" argument. I could probably hand wash my clothes as well as the washing machine does in the same amount of time, but it's hardly useless. While the Juicero is pressing your juice you can be making your lunch or something.

Who knows why the CEO's response skipped straight past "having the machine do it saves you time" to "it can automatically lock you out if your pack expired."
>It's a bit strange that violence toward insects is fine, but violence towards dogs is not.

I don't find it strange at all. I find it strange that the notion of "violence toward insects" is even a thing.
> We just need to save the planet long enough that evolution can run its course and some lifeforms start taking advantage of all the energy locked inside our "waste".

You realize evolution works in timeframes that are like really really long? On an evolutional timescale 2000 years is pretty much nothing, to us humans it's pretty much our whole modern history of massively polluting this planet.

The pace with which we are changing this planet is way too fast for evolution to keep up with it. If changes to the environment are so fast and so radical then no living thing has time to adapt, they will be extinct before having any chance at adaption.
Seriously though. Blue Apron made me seethe with anger the first time I saw an ad for it. If you can afford Blue Apron, you can afford to buy 3x as much food and have control over your ingredient choice by just going to your goddamn supermarket. Yeah, recipes are great. Yeah, tutorial videos are great. But that's what the internet is supposed to be for. You don't need some hipster wannabe "chef" assembling boxes of ingredients 200 miles away to decide what you're eating tonight, do you? That box will come with 10 little vacuum sealed plastic pouches, a bunch of packing material, instructions you could have found online, and a whole host of other crap you don't need that's just making waste for waste's sake.

If you already have access to a kitchen, a decent set of cooking equipment (which you need regardless of whether you go for Blue Apron or not) is only a few hundred bucks, and the "basics" (pasta, rice, potatoes, onions, garlic, spices, veggie oil, olive oil, vinegar, flour, sugar, salt) are maybe 50 bucks more. Then, for less than a months' worth of meals from Blue Apron, you're set to start cooking for life.

My fiancee and I spend a grand total of 100 bucks a week, give or take, on groceries. This is in southern California, and usually including a cheap bottle of wine. We could spend even less if we wanted, but we're cooking some gourmet shit at home and constantly have leftovers, while generating 1/2 the trash of any of our neighbors thanks both to reusable containers for everything and composting. You can do SO MUCH better than Blue Apron, both in health and in environmental impact.

The same thing applies to Juicero: If I really want to start making fruit juice, I'll buy myself a decent juicer and get fresh, local fruit because it will always be cheaper than whatever they're sending out in their little pouches. I'd rather spend a couple hundred bucks on a quality machine (or better, just make smoothies since they're better for you and use the money I saved not buying a Juicero to buy a Vitamix) than buy into some cult hype bullshit.

If you look at large corporations like GE they already pay almost zero percent tax using all sorts of tricks.

I think normalizing the tax rate to what the rest of the developed world has and making it simpler would bring the biggest benefit to smaller businesses such as mom and pop shops.

I came here to bring up the roller idea myself. They could make a quick cheap mechanical version and low price point. They might actually be able to deal in volume and recover from their first attempt.
Same here. I avoid killing certain invertebrates on a pragmatic basis rather than one of morality. I'll happily ignore or relocate certain species of spiders simply because they'll keep the things I don't like in check while killing others that present a danger to myself or pets around the house (black widows). On the other hand, if you live in an area that's bordered by vast swaths of forest, it quickly becomes impractical to avoid having the occasional creepy-crawly get inside somewhere, and you soon learn that it's best to live and let live. That's how I was taught, at any rate.

Now, humorously, having had "pet" mantids before is a great way to eliminate nuisance insects around the house somewhat autonomously. Although it doesn't always quite work the way you may intend (they'll self-relocate or sometimes lose interest in prey items). ;)
How about instead of ordering takeout or blue apron, you go to the store and buy groceries? It literally takes less than 2 hours a week from planning meals to getting home.

We're learning a lot by sending robots to Mars. What we need to be doing is getting NASA hooked up with Boston Dynamics to get even better robots to Mars. While we're doing that we need to be working on dramatic improvements to the ISS to make it a waypoint to a lunar base. Then we need a shuttle(s) going between the ISS and the lunar base. Once we have that in place I think we can talk about going to Mars.

Has anyone actually analyzed things like "household share of total waste," or "food share of household waste," or impact of waste compared to other environmental problems? Generally when people rail against waste, I have a suspicion that it's focusing at a highly visible but ultimately trivial problem. But I don't know where to go to falsify my suspicions.

Swarm/Foursquare I believe solve this problem by tracking the time between check-ins and then consider the distance between the places you've checked into and how long it would take to travel between them. You can't check into a store in New York Times Square one minute and then the next minute check into a place in Los Angeles. Sure you can lie, but with this restriction and restrictions around how frequently you can check in and other levers they have made a high quality experience that works for what they want to do.

>I find it much stranger that violence towards farm animals is ok but not pets.

Pets are a recent phenomenon (last 100 or so years, and urban). [edit: recent, not common phenomenon]

In rural places animals like cats and dogs where actually useful: guarding, helping with the sheep, killing mice and snakes, and such.

The bonding came from having them around (and having them be useful), not because there was some bizarro artificial distinction between e.g. cows and sheep and cats and dogs.

And in many cultures and/or periods things we now call pets were/are eaten as casually as we eat cows or kale.
Ya the only way I could ever see this being maintainable is if it's declarative. It takes a tremendous amount of boilerplate and configuration to perform what comes down to a one liner in any functional language or a formula in any spreadsheet. I think I would be more interested in a transform that converts a series of goroutines to lambda functions or something.
No worries, re-reading it I think I came across too harsh... no offence meant. I'm guilty at posting the same kind of things that I'm complaining about too :)

There's a medtech and health-IT cluster as well, partly due to Emory's med school, and Atlanta being a regional hospital center. Much of that's b2b too (though there are a few Fitbit-style b2c health-IT companies), but different set of people than most b2b companies are, and with its own set of startup incubators (Neurolaunch, Sling Health Atlanta, Global Center for Medical Innovation, etc.).

I think they started requiring a real phone number type identification to deal with the issue instead of any type of real IP/region/rate-limited/Captcha based spam detection.

I used it up until they asked for a real phone number. It was kinda cute, but yea, mostly filled with college students. Depending on where I travelled in the world, there may have been messages from three weeks ago on the top for that area. I was surprised how many remote areas had at least a few yackers; although very few non-English posts.

I love the stories of how various artificial sweeteners were discovered. Every single one was found by someone accidentally (or intentionally...) tasting some random chemical from a lab. This leads to some interesting questions:

How many random chemicals did scientists accidentally ingest for every artificial sweetener discovered? It must be quite a lot, and many of those must have been quite dangerous.

Would we have artificial sweeteners at all if people practiced decent lab safety?

Could we massively speed up the discovery of future sweeteners and similar things, by intentionally exposing people to as may random chemicals as possible? Ideally after verifying they are at least probably safe in a very small quantity for tasting. I'm guessing that wouldn't be legal.
This seems bad to me. Without a border-adjustment tax (or some easy, intuitive way to figure out what to tax) this just lowers the bar with the same number of loopholes as before.

Companies will still use tax loopholes but now the government will lose even more money.

The 32GB one from this article is the consumer product with the same Optane technology as the enterprise/datacenter one. The DC-P4800X (the datacenter one) has 375GB, 750GB, and 1.5TB variants[1].

So, no, if you have 1TB of memory a 32GB Optane SSD isn't going to make a difference, but if you have 1TB of memory, you're not the target for the 32GB consumer version, you're the target for the 375GB+ datacenter version.

I bought a $300 juice 15 years ago and it's a simple design and can juice anything. It's basically a giant motor with a plastic assembly attached to the front to hold the food.

Part of the problem is that the cold-pressed juice fad is not really rational to begin with. Somehow customers are convinced that the method of juice extraction is extremely important to the juice's health benefits, to the point that it's worth spending 3x comparable juices. It's great marketing on the verge of fraud. In order to capitalize on the fad the startup probably thought they needed a really fancy, distinctive press since the press has become of mythical importance in the customers' mind. And since cold-pressed customers have already proven to be cost insensitive they figured price is no object, so let engineering go wild!

> If I organize as a C-corp, I pay the corporate rate which is also roughly 40%, and I also get double-taxed on salary and any dividends paid to owners.

Salaries for C-corp employees, including top officers that happen to be major shareholders, are a deductible business expense (well, there may be some issues if they are over $1 million annually, but...), so you only get double taxed on dividends.

> the massive force required to press the packs across the entire surface at once. The machine must apply equal pressure to ~64 square inches of surface area at once, meaning the drivetrain must be able to apply thousands of pounds of force to squish all that produce.

What if the package was a cube (16 square inches for ex. with 4 inch height) This would roughly fit in the average human palm. Wouldn't we be able to easily more or less apply equal pressure on the packaging? Just a thought.

I would consider buying these cube packs.
