Haha, oh well we'll see I guess.

You might have seen that crashed ad/infodesk or whatever that was scanning people's faces anyway.
You're confusing objective vs. subjective with quantitative vs. qualitative. A blinded taste test is an objective, qualitative measurement. If A > B, and the only difference between A and B is a single isolated variable, you're taking most of the subjectivity out. The same person is doing the tasting. You don't need to define a tastiness unit and quantitatively measure each dish with it, because all you need to answer is "which is better?" and not "how much better is A than B?"

With dishes that are sensitive to holding time, it's impractical to do more than two at a time. So you usually end up with a series of "beat the champion" trials between two options. It takes some extra effort, but compared to the amount of effort already expended in cooking, the marginal cost isn't that severe. If you're good at it, you basically end up with a few extra dishes to wash. Maybe you need some extra freezer or pantry space.

You have an entire lifespan to refine your recipes. But you also only have one lifespan to enjoy them, so it's good to do it efficiently.

The cooking recipe problem is the same as a lot of other things. Doing things scientifically is the best way to make things better, but you can't really trust that anyone else is not cutting corners, so any time someone shares their results, you have to be skeptical. The peer review system in place for cookbooks isn't any more trustworthy in my eyes than the one for academic chemists, and that is compounded by the fact that different people like different things.

europe, i buy nothing from amazon, everything I checked there cost there more than in local chains/supermarkets/eshops, so I don't really understand hype about it, same goes for illegal uber drivers which cost more than licensed taxi ordered through taxi aggregator app

same goes for china where pretty much nobody use amazon with their 90s website design
Lispers might be able to meet that challenge.
>...As to counterfeits. for the consumer, this only matters if the quality is unacceptable (which reviews and returns take care of - at for me).

That is the problem here with Amazon. With comingling of products, it doesn't really matter what the reviews say since even if it says sold and shipped by Amazon it could be from a shady 3rd party merchant with counterfeit goods. A counterfeit battery will hopefilly just have a shorter life than expected, but if it something you consume, it could be worse and you may or may not be able to tell if it is fake. I like the convenience and selection of Amazon, (and have been a customer since they started) but until they stop this comingling, I feel I have to be a little more careful what I buy from them.
GP is right, in a sense. Chromebooks (the Intel ones, anyway) typically ship with Coreboot, and Google developers regularly contribute to upstream Coreboot.[0]

While you're correct that it's a pretty closed platform out of the box, you ultimately have more control over the platform than a typical x86 PC, if you go through the hoops of flashing your own Coreboot payload. The fact that it's hardware with official Coreboot support is notable, IMO.

I'm way younger than you and I've felt this way for a long time. The alternatives are to either vet code quality yourself (hard if no good options actually exist) or to implement the functionality yourself (which comes with additional headaches and usually isn't even feasible). I employ a healthy mix of both, but overall I hate dependencies with a passion (cough cough left-pad).
But rare is relative to usage, yes. It's also a function of the side effects. I mean, if 1M ppl use X and 1% get a rash, that's not the same as .5% of 10M having some sort of major organ reaction.

That said, America loves drugs. Patients expect them. Doctors prescribe them. Big Pharma counts the money. Everyone is happy.

I can't find even a single example of AWS shutting down a service.

In fact, one example, showing a potentially different philosophy across companies is AWS SimpleDB. SimpleDB is no longer on the AWS console - DynamoDB has replaced it, as AWS believes DynamoDB is a superior service.

That said, SimpleDB still functions perfectly fine. In fact, I recently spoke to an AWS manager who stated that they will leave SimpleDB out there as long as people keep using it.

Just one metric: How many services has Google Cloud shut down and how many has AWS shut down? Off the top of my head, I know of two Google Cloud services, and after Googling (Thanks!) I can't find a single AWS example.

The fact remains: If Google knows that this reputation is in the populace but still doesn't believe it's worth it to fight that with more than 12 months notice with (what appears) a small investment - is the reputation undeserved? If larger Google Cloud services start losing money, why should customers count on Google to keep those services up?

AWS comes out with new services all the time, and even if they are smaller / niche, I feel comfortable recommending them to my clients. For example Data Pipeline never really seemed that popular, and AWS has recently come out with a better product, AWS Glue, which the former Data Pipeline team has transitioned to.

Will AWS force customers to switch to the new, better AWS Glue? No, they will leave Data Pipeline, and their customers' investments alone.

Can you name any bloggers or tweeters you think they should interview?

Remember this is the Paris review. They arn't really looking for pop culture stuff. They interview people people who already have some level of academic acceptablitiy. They've done them with R. Crumb and Chris Ware. I'm sure they'd interview a blogger if they found someone they were interested in.

What app are you using for the terminal editor?

I just recently pulled out my old iPad 1 and charged it. I was marveling at how well-designed it is, and how much I miss the simpler OS that runs on it. It's since been supplanted by my iPhone, MacBook and Surface, but I'd love to have a good reason to use it again :)

While this site has some great info for non-technical folk who are serious about learning AI, I think the site will fly over the heads of most "line-of-business leaders" at whom it's aimed.

In my experience, those folks think of AI like...

The loaf is put into a preheated pan. I typically preheat for 30-35 minutes.
But do you think the Go community agrees with this, just to name one of the popular newer languages? It's nice that Rust is doing well, and more power to the community. But there is an entire world of programming language communities out there that might not agree with the assessment that Rust is the future for them.

Anyway, I was around for this kind of talk when Java was new and shiny, and there were people in the Java community claiming that Java was the future for programming, and any languages in the future would target the JVM or be phased out. That didn't happen, even though Java did well for itself.

What's really telling is that Java didn't replace C/C++, despite all the hype back then. Those two languages remain widely used.
I believe NHS doesn't use pirated software, right?
Typically you get 2 weeks of vacation a year. That's 4% of the cost. Not a significant amount.

As for work outside store hours: sure, there is some. But it's not a restaurant where you have to sterilize everything in the kitchen. It's a bookstore. At most you have to sweep the floors, maybe re-shelf some misplaced books, and shelf the newcomers. It's not a tremendous amount of work that has to be done before opening or after close.

Just out of curiosity, is this API used inside Google at all?

I ask because it would probably be pretty tough to deprecate this API if it was being used widely internally too.

They do have competition. Every deal I've done either selling or buying second-hand things has been through OfferUp. It's amazing and miles ahead of Craigslists' horrible UX.

Thank you very much for the breakdown and the reference!

For some reason I assumed that this detector would be embedded into your circulatory system, so that it eventually scans all 5L of blood in your body rather than getting lucky with a 2mL draw. Now that I say it, it sounds pretty unrealistic, but I wonder if it's even remotely possible.
Yes. Good point. It's also that all the easy diseases have been solved. Now we're into that hard stuff. And of course some are just by accident. Viagra, for example, didn't start as a solution to ED. So often it's a solution in search of a problem. Gotta keep the shareholders happy, eh.

And we wonder why healthcare is so expensive, obesity aside.
They paid for the space taken up when the seat reclined if your legs don't fit in that space they you need to buy another seat or pressure airlines to start better serving people of your size.

It sounds like you have no respect for your partner(s). In the comment above you said they weren't attractive; in this comment you said that what they like to do is meaningless.

If you want to live in a long term relationship, you need to stop comparing your partner to some arbitrary idea of what women should be like.

Respect your partner, and try to see the world from their point of view. Different things are "meaningful" to different people. Don't get stuck on whatever you consider to be your values.

Instead of dismissing your partners habits, try to learn more about them. Learn why they like going to the beauty salon, ask them what it's like, find out why this is meaningful to them.

Do you think if the United States graduated more doctors every year, it would prevent doctors as a group from being overworked and overtired? As a college student, I often wonder why pre-med is so academically competitive despite the fact that the ambition to help others is a virtue; and whether that competitiveness to get a high GPA and MCAT score is needed at all.
All vendors do not support Brotli compression with the HTTP protocol. Brotli is only supported when accessing a site through HTTPS. Moreover, as Brotli compresses and decompresses faster than Gzip, whilst simultaneously producing smaller file sizes, there is no point in using anything other than Brotli for HTTPS website. Hence, it's the standard compression algorithm for HTTPS. All web vendors support Brotli w/ HTTPS, except Apple's WebKit. Simple.
They make nice bubbles... :)

It's not too bad if you disable all:

On the flip side, many drugs approved by governments in the rest of the Western world languish in the FDA's queue for years. I contracted a common illness while living in Germany as an exchange student, and was prescribed medication by a doctor there which I had to fight over with my insurance (then my parents' family plan) for reimbursement because the drug had not yet been approved by the FDA. We got the reimbursement eventually, and the price was eminently reasonable anyway: something like 70-ish Euro. But drug prices in the United States are another can of worms entirely...

I recall the incident well because the computer the doctor used to enter information in the late 2000s was a Commodore 64 with that distinctive lighter band around the display edge.
> How does free / non-microsoft software protect against a shitty decision to not update / upgrade?

By not bundling upgrades with what is essentially malware, and making them as inconvenient as possible.

If I am running Ubuntu 10.04.4, and I hear about serious malware that relies on a security hole that is patched upstream, I have the opportunity to patch it myself, and keep running Ubuntu 10.04.4 as long as I want.

That being said, it's disingenuous to compare unpatched Windows 10 with unpatched Ubuntu 10.04. It is totally unreasonable to think you are secure using an unsupported OS, but it is a lot more reasonable to think you are secure running Windows 10 just a couple months out of date.
Does anyone remember WinFS (1)?

Bill Gates described it as his biggest product regret (2).

I went to a VR talk by Ted Schilowitz last week (futurist at 20th Century Fox, formerly of RED Camera) and he was raving about Magic Leap's tech. He said it was actually as good in person as the demos would suggest. I was surprised to hear this because I had previously come to the conclusion this was just a visual Juicero.

In the past, many Android devices had problems with the quality of the flash - as it aged, it also slowed down. Occasional reset and full trim helped for a while, until it didn't help anymore. The poster children of this problem were Asus Transformer Prime and the original Nexus 7.

Yes i also the same point, why would any one want to miss the free upgrade. The whole update hijack and privacy concerns kept some people away. Organization running bulk of window's xp and 7, for sheer cost cutting purposes. But still the whole thing affected all, if some people weren't hesitant to migrate to the newer update , they would have been saved.

Oh I'd say it's pretty righteous. They (including major institutions who could afford legit software) chose to steal their software, got locked out of critical functionality (security updates) as a result, and are now suffering the consequences.
What books are Indie Hackers reading?
I am worried about the following part from the paper <https://cr.yp.to/papers/pqrsa-20170419.pdf>

"Our batch prime-generation algorithm suggests that, to help reduce energy consumption and protect the environment, all users of RSA — including users of traditional pre-quantum RSA — should delegate their key-generation computations to NIST or anohter trusted third party. This speed improvement would also allow users to generate new RSA keys and erase old RSA keys more frequently, limiting the damage of key theft."

If you told me this was a parody of NSA disinfo, I'd believe it. But apparently, it's a serious paper by djb and Heninger. What happened? Did they finally crack djb, maybe after tying him to the Appelbaum mess? I had hopes for him because ``Keeping crypto insecure'' was talking about stuff TLAs certainly didn't want to see in the spotlight, but this is incredibly disappointing. When I read this passage for the first time I actually laughed for five minutes straight because it was so ridiculous.
Yeah, it's placed in the crank house.

What I like the most about this is the sensor system. I am pretty sure there is an actual torque sensor in there. This makes for a very smooth acceleration phase.

Along with a back wheel magnet sensor to keep the speed limit. Last year I made a homemade hack for this.. I used a microcontroller, an electromagnet and a magnetic sensor from a cheapo bike computer to forget every second impulse towards the Bosch system. It worked. The speed limit changed to 50 km/h.

Ended up not bothering to weather-proof it though. 25 km/h is enough most of the time anyway.
In other words - FOMO.
> why would anybody want to keep 10.04 alive?

It's that simple.

If someone wants to continue using outdated software, they will want to keep supporting it. Free software lets them do that. Proprietary software specifically forbids it.
There has been angst about medical school admissions for decades. Med school admission really is the hurdle to get over in the US. There are more residency spots than US MD graduates to fill them. By a wide margin.

There's a strong medical education research unit in the UK (Edinburgh?); I remember one of their reports on a series of med student interviews making the observation that it was unnerving how the top performing medical students weren't the most compassionate, they were the most ruthless.

I'm taking my boards soon and I have to say, the ability to commit to the task, regardless of the emotions of your self, patients, peers, support staff, and family can definitely be an asset at times. Do I hope to take a kinder view when I start working in a few months? I'm not sure kinder would be the word. Supportive of a somewhat different set of ambitions, perhaps.

Unfortunately, that ability to deny the emotions of both self and other in pursuit of good clinical care is difficult to separate from 1) the punishment of self-loathing, and 2) the behavior of someone who has been rewarded too long for blind obedience.
You can get a similar benefit to taste without changing texture by using a preferment; i.e. a biga or poolish, depending on what term you like.

Let the preferment sit overnight, then mix it into your "normal" loaf recipe, and cook as usual. You may have to tweak a bit - I usually have to reduce water slightly, but you should get a very nice result.
I don't think it's really fair to suggest that average Chinese people have a choice in the matter.

I lived in China (Guangzhou) for several years, and it was literally impossible to buy a computer with a legal copy of windows installed on it (or, failing that, a standalone windows disc) in the main computer district of the city.

I eventually had to hop the border to Hong Kong when I wanted to buy a laptop.

Why I Use Heroku
My understanding is, if you possess a prescription drug without a script then that is, at that point, relative to you, an illegal drug. Sure, no one is going to do time for, say, thyroid meds, but opoids is a whole other story.

This is why is cracks me up when people want to tie public services (e.g., food stamps) to drug testing. Imagine how many (white) middle class kids would be denied school is their parents' blood/piss tested positive for drugs they had no script for. Lol
True. The title alone lets you know it's not teaching you braid theory.

You've picked a tricky occasion for making this argument. AWS haven't announced that they're shutting down anything today, but the same can't be said for Google Cloud.
The why is complicated, it seems obvious enough that more doctors would be a good thing.

Or at least, more practitioners. We don't need doctors with huge amounts of training to do every evaluation.
