I think the 52% were voting for a range of things.

Some thought that immediately after the vote passed, for example, that all non-British residents would be deported.

Others voted, expecting financial devastation, but preferring the Tory party to be in control of our destiny as a country than yielding anything to an accord of nations - as another example.

Still others voted, a large proportion it seems to stop immigration; which isn't going to happen.

Yet others voted because they'd been persuaded it would be better economically for them and their communities. But instead those communities will get less spending and, eventually, far worse conditions of employment too.

Another large proportion voted because of the promises of funding for the NHS but the Tory plan is to run it down and bring in more and more commerce until it's effectively privatised, so even if it hadn't been a lie the Tory's weren't going to follow it through.

If the voters could make their support conditional on the actual outcome then it seems like maybe 15% at most would still be supporting it.

How those who stood by the "£350M for the NHS" lie, our Foreign Secretary say, weren't committing treason I don't know ... but I digress.
I'd short Uber if it was publicly traded.

I'm not sure how far away door to door taxis are, but I also would bet against Uber having a long enough market lock in to recoup losses.
I feel like YouTubers of this caliber should have a more direct relationship with YouTube and the advertisers. They should be able to agree to set specific points in videos for commercial breaks and have the commercial steam directly as part of the main content to avoid ad blocking.
40MB seems a little excessive? An entire mail application I created in Electron was 30MB which included the Node binaries. Not to mention it also had all of Chromium.
Google isn't finding anything regarding component coupling and optics. Do you have any links that introduce the concept?
I agree with that. They just kind of throw you in there and hope you'd figure it out. Add to it the fact the mechanics are mostly unique to that game only so there was no familiarity to help.

My understanding is that Apple expect everyone who uses an MBP "for work" to actually be using it as the portable sidekick to a desk-bound workstation, rather than as their primary computer. They're supposed to be the cutter you launch off the side of your ship, not the ship itself. The Mac Pro (or often the iMac) is supposed to be the ship.

You might think that the lack of updates to the Mac Pro line belies that argument—but I'd say it's completely possible to have a strategy and then fail in tactical execution in a way that makes it look like you don't have that strategy.

I actually heard a Chinese investor, active in the market, talking about how stupid the Canadian government is to allow him to do what he does. He was basically boasting that he will keep it going as long as he is allowed, and that the new regulations are weak and ineffective if you can afford a decent lawyer. In other words, "don't hate the player, hate the game."

Seattle will probably be too slow to react and end up in the same situation, but maybe it will get the attention of other cities/states before it becomes a problem.
> 2 weeks of lexapro was a night and day difference.

My girlfriend thought that lexapro had helped her years before she met me...

She escaped from the psychiatrists who only cared about making her feel worse with their "anti-psychotics", and got her new medical providers to prescribe lexapro instead. After a week she realized that her new rapid heartbeat was certainly caused by the lexapro. She took her last benzo (class of "anxiety" drug that makes anxiety worse over time), and it was all downhill from there...

The Rock-Star Appeal of Modern Monetary Theory
I wonder when it is going to become clear that America's economic growth has peaked.

I recently read that Warren Buffet made the point in 2006 that in order for America to continue growing as it has for the last century, the Dow would have to surpass 2,000,000 by 2099, and during the years 2000-2006, it didn't grow at all from its place at roughly 11,000 (but now it appears to be growing again).

Sidestepping the question of whether or not it has peaked, and when that peak was/is, it seems to be in everyone's best interest to at least pretend that it has not, and perhaps, will never.
And on the contrary, (in an oldish article), 19% of Americans believe they are in the top 1% of income earners, and 20% more believe they will one day be [1].

I can't help but feeling there is a trap here, which is what Gassee seems to be getting at. Macs didn't become the default choice of "pros" due to out-and-out speed. You could always build a faster Windows box, and they have always been more configurable. Macs won via the usability factor - whether that was better OS support for certain things, better UI for certain things, or some new app or feature on OS X that made it possible to do a certain task for cheaper on consumer hardware that previously required expensive custom "pro-only" hardware to run. I mean, the whole Avid revolution was that you could do previously esoteric video editing on a Mac vs. buying some horribly expensive custom setup, and the same thing happened with Premiere, and then Final Cut Pro. The whole pattern isn't that Apple used to make expensive (relatively speaking) pro hardware that was faster than everyone else, it was because they democratized some pro function and everyone used it because it was just better.

So why all the excitement for apple to make a "narrow" machine to "cater" to the pro market? That would be against what Apple has historically done. Apple can win the "pro's" over by making iPads or MacBooks able to do pro video editing that previously required a $10k windows/linux tower with dual video cards, not by making their own $10k tower with dual video cards. The whole point may not be that there is a pocket industry of "pros" upset at Apple, but that their function is being disrupted by young grads just out of film school doing their jobs on an iMac.
I assume this would quickly be stamped out by sending convoys of trucks with a single driver/guard supervising it. So instead of 1 driver per-truck, you have a 5-truck convoy with a single on-site monitor/driver/supervisor/guard.
It would have been. But it wasn't my code, I was merely using it. I think better structuring would have helped the code much more than unit tests. Unit tests are good to ensure you don't break things. But spaghetti code that passes tests is still considered broken by my standards.
This echo's some thoughts I've had about application development lately especially wrt TDD.

My preferred style of app. development is much more about exploring what is possible and what works as opposed to implementing a fully fledged concept of the finished application.

I find the application begins to take on it's finished state only after I have had time to explore new ideas and techniques that I don't necessarily understand completely when I begin.

TDD seems to be tailored towards the architectural / fully conceptualized application whereas the gardening metaphor seems more appropriate for the way I tend to approach app development. I find it counter-productive to try to write tests for code before I even figure out what it will do yet. YMMV.

Thanks again Brian.
Why is this relevant? Am I missing something?

Isn't this just typical corporate jargon?
It's hard to distribute heat...you would need steam or at least hot water pipes everywhere.
You would also need to vent the steam when it's not needed...so if you only need the heat for a few months of the year, you don't get that much efficiency increase overall.

It's been done though.

Let's not forget YouTube relies on these people too. Yes, YouTube has near monopoly in the area right now, but there can always be changes. These influencers can bring a new site overnight 500k new users if they want to.

And the whole advertisers don't like that content is stupid and complicated. I can't remember the name but some popular guy made series about serial killers, no NSFW pictures but probably something you wouldn't your kids watch. Most of his videos were banned completely.

I think we are talking about two different things. Everyone I know with geothermal heat pumps just call them geothermal. What I have heard called heat pumps are basically air conditioners that can also be used to heat the home.

Until recently I had no idea the air conditioner-like heat pumps existed, and it appears that they are only useful if you live in a place with a low dew point and relatively high minimum temperatures, since they can ice pretty easily and don't work well below a certain temperature.

Anyways, Most of the people I know with geothermal in Wisconsin have fairly large tracts of land, and still need to supplement with wood pellets or something similar. I'm not sure you could fit enough of the heat exchange loops in a typical yard in a densely populated area.

To be honest, the last time I did the math was probably about 10 years ago, but I recall vertical systems are really not cost effective if you have access to a city natural gas system unless you really like AC.

That being said, I'm renting right now, so I haven't kept close tabs on recent developments.

Edit: Also, I think heat pumps are installed in warmer climates because a dual-purpose AC that doesn't heat that well is cheaper than installing a separate fossil fuel based system, which would be overkill as well as much more expensive.
Agreed. When I think of "goods that are underproduced relative to the social optimum due to how little of the value the producer is able to capture", youtube stars are nowhere near that list.
Security is half a technical problem and half a usability problem (for developers). We need more emphasis on the usability half.

For example, we should be doing everything we can to ease the mental burden of writing secure code. Whenever we can reasonably eliminate the possibility of a vulnerability, we should. Even if someone has to be an idiot to make the mistake, just don't make it possible to make the mistake in the first place. We should also try to reduce the amount of potentially-malicious input, reduce the amount of options and special cases, etc. Simplify.

Usability improvements pay off multiple times. They make developers' jobs easier because there's less code to write and the code that does get written is easier to reason about. They make security auditors' jobs easier because there are fewer "dumb" mistakes to check for, and that means more of the audit time can be spent looking for deeper flaws.

(Nitpick about the phrase "validating user input": The user's input should never be trusted, but that doesn't mean we should write code to try and decide whether the user's input is "safe" or "unsafe", as that can be impossibly-hard depending on what's happening after the validation check. The code should just be secure no matter what the input is.)
I want some companies to be successful but I won't be writing about them to death and speculate and pretend I know better, writing articles "teaching them" what they should focus on and etc.

If the majority of your income comes from salary or wages, you are not in the upper class, no matter how high that number is. The primary defining characteristic of the upper class, in my opinion, is supporting your lifestyle via your ownership, rather than your labor.

Certainly, there is some fuzz and overlap there. A retiree earning $50k/year on dividends and capital gains meets that criterion, while a top-shelf skilled professional or DINK couple earning $400k/year solely from working 40 hours per week (each) does not. The latter could certainly become upper class rather easily just by paying off debt, avoiding unnecessary expenses, and dumping excess cash into index funds, but as long as that plan can be cut short by two simple words ("you're fired") they haven't crossed that class boundary yet.

Generally, when the middle class shrinks, it isn't because a significant portion of them are becoming upper class. More often, it is because expenses rise faster than prevailing wages. The mark of the middle class, to me, is being able to comfortably pay all living expenses with all adults in the household working no more than one full-time job (probably salaried, but not necessarily) at 40 hours per week. You can get everything you need with just one job, and some of what you merely want.

The instant you cross that line where you have to abandon desires and work longer to make ends meet, you're in the lower class. There are certain needs in the US that are not actually survival-level necessities, but rather mandatory to meaningfully participate in civil society. Those have expanded. In earlier decades, you essentially just needed a motor vehicle, a location-based telephone number, and a mailing address. Now, you also need one or more person-based telephone numbers, an Internet connection, and various forms of insurance. Expense categories expanded, even as costs for each expense rose. Median wages stayed stagnant. So people drop out of the middle class. They stop going to the movies and take on more hours or a part time job in order to pay their phone bill.
Hah, same could be said about your comment.

Assuming he has a Macbook Air that's probably true but only because the A10 in an iPhone is performing at the sweet spot on its frequency-voltage curve while the Core iX in a MacBook air is severely undervolted to get to the Air's target power. If Intel were to design a core from scratch for that power envelope they could do better. But Apple has done very well in getting comparable performance to Intel despite Intel's process advantage.

I thought YouTube had a specific prohibition against sponsored content they weren't getting a piece of? Product placement, "this video brought to you by"-style bumpers, etc?
Your argument would be fine if there was a competitive market on the supply side of on demand videos. But there isn't. Youtube has a monopoly.

Something you may or may not be aware of: You can purchase or make a double-crust pizza; the upper crust can have ingredients as well. If you do it "deep dish" style, you have the pizza equivalent of a "pizza pie" - completely sealed.

This isn't quite the same as a calzone (which is usually a single serving affair - think of it as a large pizza-filled pasty).

Honestly, though - aside from getting it to cook properly - I'm not sure that a pie crust with pizza filling would be that bad; blind-bake the crust, add the fillings, cook at as hot as you can get your oven, maybe broil the cheese on top (or take a torch to it).

To me, that sounds pretty good...

I recently came across an improvement to a Frank Zappa quote that Butler Lampson included in slide from a 2014 presentation titled "Hints and Principles for Computer System Design".[1]

"[Data is not information, ] Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music and Music is THE BEST” --Frank Zappa

I find it interesting that some of the greater computer architects decide to spend their later years immersed more in music than in programming (L Peter Deutsch comes to mind here).
