Doesn't apply here. Facebook is using async and downgrades the experience for mobile clients.

That's the payload for the desktop clients. Furthermore, try finding a website that follows 'the optimum' standard you are describing.

People who take insulin outside a hospital setting are normally responsible for monitoring their blood glucose levels, adjusting dosages themselves, and using sugar or glucagon to deal with hypoglycemia (which is what happened in this case). It sounds like the problem wasn't so much the doctor-selected dosage, as a failure to train him in other necessary aspects of using insulin safely.

Generally speaking Republicans tilt fiscally and socially conservative. I'd be fascinated (no sarcasm) to hear an argument on how party platform and most members are social liberals.

To put another way, if you averaged out the beliefs of all who consider themselves Republicans, Trump himself doesn't believe most of it, certainly not dogmatically.
It's really a convenience thing for me. Yeah I could go to the store on my own. But by the time I come up with new/interesting recipes for the week, plan out all of the ingredients I need to buy, then actually go buy them, I've spent a ton of time and really not saved that much money.

The waste thing is definitely legit though.
I fail to see how the very real reduction in sulfur dioxide, lead, and CFCs is "rearranging the deck chairs". We had a problem, and fixed it. We now have another problem.

An ad-based model means that content creators have to adhere to what advertisers approve of.

A direct-pay model mean that content creators have to adhere to what their audience approves of.

I know which one I prefer.
I, for one, would much rather pay for a browser that looks out for my (privacy) interests than use a free browser that does not.

Doesn't Firefox do all of that already for free? It's FOSS and has a wide range of privacy features baked in including pixel blocking. Adding on ghostery and ublock covers the rest. Seems like the only difference is configuring options on installation.

One of the recipes I tried listed "Add salt and pepper to taste" after basically every intermediate step, so I could certainly understand why someone might end up with too much salt if they're not paying too much attention or don't know how much salt is typical.
Your comment is the equivalent of saying "you can't call Paul Graham anti-death-penalty just because he's demonstrated that he's anti-death-penalty through donating to an anti-death-penalty cause".

Brendan sought to have the law declare a group of people unequal on the basis of their sexual orientation. There is absolutely no way to sugarcoat that or make it into a "well he doesn't actually believe this, he just tried to have it written into law for some other reason" thing.

And much as I don't eat at Chick-Fil-A, I personally won't directly financially support anything Brendan is involved with. That's called freedom of association, which includes the freedom not to associate with someone, and freedom of speech, which includes the freedom to say I find someone's views or cause repugnant and to argue against them.

If you do not understand or do not care for this, perhaps you are in the wrong place.
That's if _everyone_ withdraws. That's not what's happening. 0.3 degrees is if the US withdraws but everyone else proceeds as planned. But we aren't even withdrawing per se. Immediately after announcing his decision, Trump also announced his willingness to re-negotiate the accords on better terms (by which I think he means not spending $100/B a year on something that other countries aren't even legally bound by).

And climate models predict things just fine as long as you pick the ones that are somewhat accurate in retrospect. That's not what prediction is. Prediction is when, like Al Gore, you say that in 15 years we'll all be underwater, and it doesn't happen. If you bet your money on the accuracy of the current models you will lose.
Building a better web for everyone
mikeash's comment pretty much sums it up, however I'd recommend reading Scott Adams's (dilbert creator) rhetoric on Trump.

Scott Adams definitely is more right leaning than myself, but he writes top notch political analysis. He saw the Trump victory coming a mile away.

Trump is the epitome of "speak to be heard, not listened to", and this resonates incredibly well with the large bulk of the republican party whose party platform is "the blacks", "the muslims", or "jesus (when convenient)". He also resonates well with the republicans who are not stupid, however wealthy and self-interested, because much of republican rhetoric centers on "the rich are going to starve/move to mars if we start charging them taxes!".

Republicans with a libertarian or intellectual bent think he's 100% retarded. Reactionary democrats think he's going to make the world explode. The rest of us left-leaning folks think he's retarded but realize that this is the single best thing that could have happened to ward off any notion younger people might have that the republican party isn't one great big 3 ring circus. Hillary Clinton getting elected would have just been more ammunition for the clowns that think she's corrupt and a literal communist despite being corrupt and center-right by all measures.

It is very unlikely that something like this will happen again in the near future, seeing as all of the old people voting for trump will be dead, and younger people are either blindly liberal, or spooked out of any notion that the republican party isn't a joke.
No offence you don't seem to have much knowledge of post ww2 history.
> you have never used blue apron.

Yes, I have. (Now, admittedly, onions were a poorly chosen example, and with many other items you could get up to three layers—for meats that are shipped in the chilled section—layers of packaging. But regular onions were usually one layer, green/spring onions usually two.)
I'll say this much, Brave has done a marvelous job of branding this advertising middleware platform as an ad blocker and privacy protector.

Look at question 15 in their FAQ. https://brave.com/FAQ.html They're gathering much more information than regular ads are able to, and they're using that information to push more highly targeted ads at you. That's the business model. All the handwaving about how that information never leaves the browser is irrelevant; it's still being used to push ads at you.
The blog post states the opposite, that export will be restored (the previous owner had turned it off). It also implies that the export will continue to be available for some time (the stuff about no time pressure).
I don't remember receiving any dry ice or styrofoam. The ice pack is recyclable. You just have to let it melt and empty out the water. There's a foil liner which is also recyclable. If there's no recycling option near you, you can even send the recyclable materials back to Blue Apron and they'll recycle it.

You reject Angela Merkel as a source? How do you interpret her saying the EU must "take its fate into its own hands" and that they can "no longer rely on the United States and UK"?

You do read Der Speigel? - ran an article weeks ago saying there would not even be a decision on spending until 2020.

From February: "The United States and our international allies, which for so long has been the centerpiece of what is rightly called "The Free World," are facing the greatest threat to global stability since the end of World War II. Security arrangements, like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which for more than seven decades have kept us safe from yet another global conflict, are quickly coming unraveled."

Granted it has not been stated as clearly as the UK's exit of Europe but the writing is on the wall.
> he's seriously undermined people's ability to trust in the United States maintaining its international obligations

What if that is in fact the goal? Many people in Trump's administration are openly anti-globalists and many of his voters and supporters have the explicit goal of "exiting" globalism.

> it’s not clear how the vehicle was stolen in the first place.

> For owners, it’s important to make sure that your Tesla account is secured with a strong password and to keep your key fobs in a secure location at a safe distance from the vehicle when parked.

The insinuation here is that owners had weak passwords and/or kept their keys in an insecure location at an unsafe distance from the vehicle. Another explanation could be that hacker-thieves found a way to access Tesla's without keys and/or passwords.
Hey, site keeps getting better every month. Good Job.
I honestly hope you can monetize this and make something out of it.
Maybe a dumb question, but I have always wondered this.

Won't UBI just shift the poverty line to a value above whatever it is now(0 maybe), without changing the income inequality/wealth difference. In a hyper-simplistic hypothetical scenario, if it's assumed that a person is poor if he has $0, with UBI, he'll have $X/month, making him above the poverty line. But now the entire country, rich and poor, have at least $X/month, which might translate to an increase in cost of all goods/services by $X, rendering the poor as poor and rich as rich.
Being able to query your data in SQL is great. But to be really useful, you need to be able to join many different data sources. For example, if you want to estimate [cost of sales] / [lifetime value], you need to join your Stripe data with your Salesforce data. Thats why companies like mine (Fivetran) exist: to mirror all your data sources in a single SQL warehouse. If you use a ETL-as-a-service provider and a fully-managed warehouse like BigQuery, it's really not that hard to set up your own data warehouse that has all your data in it.
That's basically how cooking works though... you adjust the spice level, particularly salt, after each step... to taste.

This airplane was flying in Iranian airspace. The Navy cruiser was in Iranian territorial waters.

Uh, the Paris accords are hugely popular in the U.S. [1]. The word is that even most corporations, oil companies among them, supported staying in the pact. Everyone was on board with this, except Trump and his far conservative base. And as long as power gets passed between groups with fundamentally different interests (or even basic notions of reality), no one will trust U.S. for basic security if they have half a choice.

European countries have no intentions to ever pay the 2%. For example the Belgian Government reiterated right after the G7 that it had no intention to meet that target and plans instead for 1.3% towards 2030.

Plugfest Demonstrates Fibre Channel Capabilities for NVMe Storage – InsideHPC
When I was in college (in 2002-2005), everybody had blogs. Girls who wanted to appear intellectual had blogs; cliques had blogs. I remember being heartbroken that I hadn't been invited to a little friend group's group blog. Comments worked, we linked to each other constantly, etc.

But frankly this still was at a time when the internet was more nerdish. Writing blogs was work -- intellectual work -- for reward that was only tangible because we saw everyone everyday and could physically high five or thumbs-up.

So of course blogs declined because of Facebook. I myself find myself periodically using Facebook as a blogging platform -- to write and read and debate long takes; but also because most people are not nerdish enough to have blogs. I think we're watching horrified at the de-nerding of the internet.

Relatedly. I'm really really jealous of kids and their snapchats. I wish my generation used some such platform. I remember when we used IM status lines as short-lived messages into the world -- "Hi friends, I feel sad", maybe with some song lyric. For a very brief while (like a week, maybe less), Messenger Stories started picking up steam in my network -- until it was integrated on Facebook. Facebook has too many people.

Disappearing stories encapsulate the whole reason someone my age (I'm 34) needs online social networks: you drift away from your great friends from yesteryear, have less and less time and energy and emotional need for new ones -- at least at the investment it takes -- and everyone in your cohort is either doing the same or trying too hard to be artificially social.

If, instead, I could access a significant section of my circle of acquaintances/quasi-friends/might-have-been-friends-if-I-had-met-them-earlier-in-life, etc. and just take a picture of a really good fresh-squeezed OJ I had somewhere or a pretty sunset or some Counting Crows lyrics? In such a way that everyone who is kind of paying attention is aware, but everyone else just misses? It would make a significant dent at this need for a semi-social life. Maybe I could even make a couple of really fucking great friends out of the interesting acquaintances I have.

I'm rambling, of course. But hey, startup people. Make Snapchat for adults, please!
If they have ways to access Teslas in general without the specific keys/passwords, then wouldn't you expect there to be a wave of stolen Teslas instead of just 2?
Cynicism comes into its own when that sort of money is involved. Practically it isn't possible to become build that sort of wealth without being super-aware of the financial outcomes of your decisions.

It isn't safe to take someone at face value once they can buy a PR firm without blinking.
I've had a similar experience. I've loved the team I work for, the projects I've built, and the opportunity to have impact. I would not be as happy somewhere else.
Things must be shipped in packages. Are you against all products delivered by mail, or just the ones you could get locally at a store?

> Add in the electoral college, which gives a substantial advantage to candidates who can win rural voters, and here we are.

Don't forget our ridiculous Congressional system that greatly over-weights the opinions of rural voters. California has 80 times the number of people as Wyoming, yet they both get two seats in the Senate and 1/53rd the number of representatives in the House.
Bitcoin is more like Gold, not USD.

With USD, the government can print as much as they want.

Gold, on the otherhand, is finite, and NOT backed up by a government. And, like bitcoin, is basically worthless except as a speculative asset. (gold is not worth even close to the actual price that it is sold at.)

Seems waste has been covered well but I was curious about what people think about these services and how they relate to food deserts. I think there are at least a few interesting takes on this.

First, this helps a ton. Fresh food isn't available in a lot of areas and this makes it easier for both current residents and it reduces friction for people looking to move to these towns.

On the other hand, will a societal trend towards this lead to the creation of more food deserts? These services are not cheap, and food deserts tend to be in impoverished areas.
Even if climate change is a figment of people's imagination, it's a shared figment, and leadership affects how the US is perceived.

What is the range of the key fob, and does Tesla warn customers to keep keys far away from the car (not in rooms adjacent to the garage, for example)?

I have a friend who bought a late-model BMW and accidentally discovered that her keyless ignition is also fobless — if unlocked, her car will start even if the key fob is miles away. Not an easily discoverable bug, since she typically has her key with her when she approaches her car.

It's hilarious to me that you believe this when ~85% of the rivers in China are qualified as "very polluted" or "extremely polluted."
Well the compiler knows the signature of the function you pass it to so it should be able to optimize it anyways.

I think in most if not all cases the compiler can figure out if &thing needs a mutable or immutable reference. I think the only difference is the readability to the programmer and I agree with the decision made requiring &mut for a mutable reference.
I know someone who had their Tesla stolen in Belgium, never to be recovered. The car just vanished from the system, no connection to the network and the last known location was in front of their house.

I always wondered what thieves do with these vehicles though.

> The Paris pact was pretty toothless: it was a step forward, but heavily aspirational.

It is important to know that the reason the Paris agreement is aspirational only is that it was necessary in order for the US to sign.

And the reason for that is the US political system. Any commitments would have had to be ratified by the US senate, which was deemed unlikely. Actual commitments had to be deferred to later agreements.

There is a whole string of climate agreements going all the way back to 1992, all building on another. (Therefore just pulling out of one of them isn't necessarily straightforward.)
