You missed an even bigger input: labor! Cities have tons of people, with a wide variety of skills. The boonies have few, and there's a chicken/egg problem (thinner market) that makes it harder to change jobs since there's fewer employers and harder to fill jobs because there's fewer employees.
Oh now that's a lovely-looking machine! I love the way your width/x axis stepper is handled.

Well...

Consider https://www.supermicro.nl/products/system/7U/7088/SYS-7088B-...

This 7U box can have 24TB on a single 192-core/384-thread node using 128GB DIMMs. At 7U, you can fit 5 of them on 40u of rack space (assuming you can deliver power and get rid of the heat) and deal with far less inter-node communication and CPUs that can run rings around the best ARM-based ones. You can also pack 8 GPUs or your favorite Xeon Phi card (but each will behave like a cluster node) and 8 NVMe cards and 32 2.5" devices. This is slightly less dense than the HP offering, but you can order 5 of them right now. If you do, tell them I told you to.

If you move it to 256GB DIMMs which, it was pointed out, is probably what HPE is using, you have 240TB per rack.
No, really. Natural language processing isn't going to allow it to see and recognize the thing, nor navigate to the thing; it'll take vastly more complication than the OP implied to do something as simple as pick up something when instructed.

> decrepit and aging industrial base

This is such a common canard that seems to lack any foundation. The United States manufacturers more "stuff" than at any point in history, for any reasonable definition of "stuff" (dollar value, inflation-adjusted dollar value, number of items, etc). Employment in manufacturing is way down, in large part because of automation -- for example, high-technology production lines replaced hand-welding with welding robots.

By contrast, developing markets tend to employ a lot of people doing manual tasks that would be automated in the United States (or Germany, Japan, etc.). A Foxconn assembly factory is far from high-tech; it's usually a long line of people in matching uniforms using tweezers to put parts together.

I actually brought this up in my interview, and asked extra questions because of it to be thorough. It's a really great company to work for, so I would say that Glassdoor's rating doesn't reflect what I've seen.
Why would you fund the SLS then? That makes no sense. If they want to keep ULA around they should tell them to hurry up on the Vulcan Rocket. Then they can throw them a couple of flights.
I wouldn't be surprised if communists and Antifa would destroy them on purpose in the name of fighting for "working class" and jobs. And if not them, then other thieves/vandals do the job.
without implying I agree with the particular study, mice are being used to test a lot of chemicals that are then used on humans so I'd say there's a high probability that how mice are affected could be similar to humans.
The story is very well written, but the perspective of the slavemaster's son was jarring for me to read.

Yeah - I don't get that. People are still reselling your computers on ebay for far more than they should and no one at Sony / any other computer company thinks that maybe it might be a good idea to investigate why.

What I particularly remember about that computer was that it slipped perfectly into the inside pocket of my jacket (remember this is a full featured circa-1999 laptop running Linux!)
I actually found the culture deck refreshing and attractive and a big part of why I joined Netflix. There's nothing ruthless about getting rid of people who aren't doing their jobs.
But there doesn't seem to be carbonated water?

I think the assumption is that CB and Diet CB, would be something like coke or orange soda or whatever, and that degassed CB would be just coke that was left out so the bubbles dispersed. (Rather than 'soda water' as carbonated water might be called in some places).

The obvious experiment would have been to test tap water vs. carbonated water, which makes one wonder if this study is yet another example of p-hacking. (We were testing this other theory and look at what happened in the dataset, let's make a paper on that!)

Agreed there's a trend in that direction, but as you say not quite there yet. What I imagine is a unit with the goal of helping civilians as a first priority, but with the full capability to defend themselves and the people they're helping. Similar to the Special Forces but with the priorities reversed.
Signal has the same policy. I understand that these companies are paying money to host their API servers, but c'mon. Either run a free, open service or don't.
One of the more interesting things to watch over the years in the Bay Area was the construction of the 'signature' headquarters for tech companies. It has been interesting because there is a grand history of companies building these edifices to themselves, and then dying. Commonly cited examples are Sun (currently occupied by Facebook), SGI (currently occupied by Google), and Tandem (occupied by Ebay). A number of people also thought that of Apple at its One Infinite Loop HQ in Cupertino and subsequent fall from grace under a series of CEOs. So far Apple had dodged that bullet :-).

Driving past it over the last few years, I try to imagine 50, 100, or maybe 500 years in the future. Will it still be an amazing building or will it be Cupertino's Coliseum ?
Yes, but what's the mechanism that links carbonation with increased ghrelin?
I never understood Hulu. 1) it costs money AND shows adverts. 2) owned by cable company 3) still can't get all the content owned by said cable company and 4) this horrific anecdote:

Was in the car with my fitness obsessed gf, she'd never heard of pizza rolls. I said "Tontinos pizza rolls" near the device (potentially googled it but I doubt it) on her iPhone 6. Hulu from the device when we got back from car ride. First advert, Tontinos...

Despicable.
I have to work late, why isn't child care open after 5? I'm forced to go all the way down there, get my kid, and then drag them back up to my office and they won't let me work!

My child has a bump on their head, I'm positive they didn't have it before I dropped them, I demand a firing!

Why isn't the company offering healthy snacks to my kids?

I chose not to have kids because I think it's better for our future not to overpopulate this planet. But why can't I leave my Shitzu there? He's never hurt anyone!!!!
enjoy time in those prison cubicles? they would better off let them work from home than in this prison environment

nice design from outside doesn't mean it can't be practical inside
As the (real) title says, they think it is linked to ghrelin, a neuropeptide associated with hunger. Drinking something carbonated causes more ghrelin release (or less suppression of ghrelin released, actually) than drinking a still beverage. More circulating ghrelin leads to more hunger, which leads to more eating, which leads to weight gain.

The mechanism that allows CO2 to act on ghrelin isn't really clear. They suggest that the bubbles push on the stomach wall, which in turn increases ghrelin release. The whole ghrelin pathway isn't known, but I thought pressure on the stomach walls would suppress, rather than induce ghrelin.

There are a few other odd things too. For the rat experiment, they show weight gain curves (weight vs. time) for four groups: rats drinking a) water b) sugar soda c) degassed sugar soda d) diet soda. As you might expect, rats drinking water end up weighing the least, rats drinking (sugar) soda weigh the most. However, the rats drinking the degassed (sugar) soda weigh significantly less than those receiving diet carbonated soda. They take this as support for their theory, but it seems odd that this effect would totally dominate the actual calories in the sugary soda. Similarly, the carbonated (sugar) soda vs. carbonated (diet) soda groups also aren't different.
This is funny, because in 100 years, computers with 100 yottabytes of memory will be standard, and they'd be laughing at a headline like this one.

With electric cars the pollution is just elsewhere. And asphalt dust is a major hazard in most big cities.

Btw, my argument was that people want a car because that's what has been made the most convenient. I think the correlation is that way.
And ummm...the paper in question used rats, not mice.
I think I agree with you. Most databases these days get adopted by being open source, or pretty inexpensive for hobby projects. That lets engineers experiment with them, get comfortable and then recommend them for a major project. I'm not even going to get started with spanner, so I'm not sure how I would build up the confidence to use it in a major deployment.
As soon as a senior executive becomes aware of any kind of illegal activity, malfeasance or behavior for which the company could be held liable, it becomes their responsibility.

When Fowler reported her harassment & HR's failures directly to Thuan, he became obligated by fiduciary duty to deal with the problem. Thuan could not just hand it off to HR because HR (which was Graves' responsibility) had already failed Fowler--which is why she reported it to Thuan.

Uber has never disputed Fowler's report, which points directly at Thuan & Graves. We'll see at the end of the month, but this kind leak from Uber suggests that the publicly released version of Holder's report will be PR puffery that'll blame it all on Thuan & Graves & attempt to vindicate Kalanick. Expect Huffington as the media messenger. She'll be outraged when anyone dares to suggest Travis knew. And ask if the interviewer is actually questioning Holder's integrity.

I'm not sure who'd believe that Kalanick didn't know about any of it regardless.
Why describe the Gherkin as infamous? My impression is it is largely admired by Londoners (myself included).

It would be interesting to hear from those working inside it.
Twitter's market cap moved up $200 million on the news that Biz is back.
This might be a bit off-topic but I heard that Netflix pays pretty well, even compared to other SV tech firms.

Why does the author only have a pretty small desk directly at a (what I assume) small recreational area? Is this considered a normal desk at a top SV tech firm? I'd probably go nuts after a few days because people are constantly passing by and are talking while I want to concentrate on work.

I'm from Germany where more and more companies try to implement the same open-office plans. Everybody I know that works in such an environment considers them as hostile to productivity. Somebody is constantly talking about useless stuff and disturbs others by that and using headphones is deemed as rude and anti-social.
>Making something non-profit doesn't make it efficient. If your business is child-care, it's your job to know the cheapest/best way to comply with regs, build child-care locations to meet market demands, hire child-care staff, enforce appropriate rules and procedures, etc, etc, etc.

You hire someone for this

>Running a software company doesn't give you any of those skills. Someone specializing in the business of child-care should be able to wipe the floor with anything your software company puts up in it's spare time.

Same hire as above

>Children are a distraction, I know. But having the management of the company involved in making decisions about how your kids are being cared for is a distraction from their core duties. By definition they are going to be slightly worse at sales, marketing, development, etc because they have to spend time on childcare.

Seriously, hire like one person.

>Having childcare only benefits a few employees for a few years of their lives. There is nothing wrong with having company childcare, I'm playing the devils advocate a bit here, but there is also nothing wrong with saying the outside world will be better at serving this need and just offering a stipend to help parents with the cost.

I'm talking about companies with hundreds of employees in the same building... like Apple, who has built a massively enormous HQ without childcare. An issue that likely impacts dozens, if not hundreds, of their employees at this location.
beautiful building, that's what i was responding to

this might be efficient but it's extremely boring not worth articles

The quote from the article appears to be related to Apple Park's lack of a childcare facility. (I assume they can easily remedy this.)

I can't find any of her criticism elsewhere. Mind sharing some links?

3 zero must watch
I'm not sure if I'm in the minority, but for a lot of content I ingest (news, video) I don't have an account, or actively use one, on the service. The only time I create an account is if I find the benefits of creating an account are more than just visiting the service without an account. For example, I keep an account on Youtube because I want to keep playlists and I don't mind if they have my watch history as a result, but I don't keep an account on Reddit because I just casually browse it without really participating (primarily because I feel like most of the discussion, by the time I see it, is something I can't add to, as opposed to a place like HN). And so for me, if this site is registration only, I don't see a point if it is only to make it real time and a "Reddit alternative" unless it's significantly better, but the most important part of Reddit is the community aspect, which is hard to replicate.

I'm curious. I've used Screen Hero, Webex, Google Hangouts, and GotoMeeting extensively.

People evoke a lot of love for Screen Hero and I can never figure out why. Video quality is pretty awful and pixellated.

I don't see a single feature in Screen Hero that isn't in the other ones and the other ones have many more features that I use.
The claim is:

1. dissolved CO2 is in drink. Is drunk.
2. When liquid containing CO2 is in stomach, H2CO3 drops out of solution to CO2 and H2O.
3. The pressure on the stomach cells with CO2 cause them to release Ghrelin
4. When Ghrelin reaches brain, causes hunger sensation
5. Person eats reacting to hunger sensation

I would venture to say that our family-friendliness, stability, and benefits are on par (if not better) than other large companies.

Everyone takes whatever time off they need. There's no guilt associated - we always shun folks that check email and chat channels when they take vacation.

I personally appreciate cash directly in my pocket versus a gym, yoga rooms, and toys scattered about in the office.

I come to the office to work, not play. I don't need nor want the company buying things that don't help me get my work done effectively.

I also appreciate the sense of mobility in my career. I don't have to wait four+ years for stock options to vest. Four years is a very long time in any tech company. I also don't want my compensation tied to stock performance.

> But fertile soil is a massive input cost that you can't really get around for most full sized plants.

If you had read the article, you'd know this is a hydroponic system. No soil. Yields are substantially higher and less water is consumed. Hydroponics are pretty interesting technology.

> Anyone can grow bad produce indoors.

Yeah, if they just stick some dirt under a random LED light. That's not what they're doing here. A different article I recently read about the same farm in Newark mentioned some gourmet chef next door raving about the quality of the greens.

Thanks for the explanation. Can you also explain the significance of "one-shot imitation learning" generally (beyond the context of this experiment)?
Wow that brings back the memories. I remember when it first came out it seemed like such a small step from having a system that could converse about a simplified universe to one that could converse about a much closer to "real" universe. And here we are with computers that are literally over a million times more powerful and nope, still can't ask Alexa or Google home where you left the car keys.
My hunch is, advance features such as those will cost a premium.

I wish ScreenHero would get open-sourced or at least fully supported as a separate piece of software. I actually think it's pretty perfect in it's current feature set.

I was blown away when it got axed so fast. The multi-mouse capability was the coolest thing and made the tool fit my needs like none had before. It's the best!

I get to use ScreenHero on the rare occasion these days, and it's still a joy every time. I want to use it for every screen share.

Having support for personal and Slack accounts within ScreenHero would be amazing.
