Which puts me in mind of the "the sandwich" scene from The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson

"If the manifest of ingredients on the bottle had been legible, it would have read something like this:

"Water, blackstrap molasses, imported habanero peppers, salt, garlic, ginger, tomato puree, axle grease, real hickory smoke, snuff, butts of clove cigarettes, Guiness Stout fermentation dregs, uranium mill tailings, muffler cores, monosodium glutamate, nitrates, nitrites, nitrotes and nitrutes, nutrites, natrotes, powdered pork nose hairs, dynamite, activated charcoal, match-heads, used pipe cleaners, tar, nicotine, single-malt whiskey, smoked beef lymph nodes, autumn leaves, red fuming nitric acid, bituminous coal, fallout, printer's ink, laundry starch, drain cleaner, blue chrysotile asbestos, carrageenan, BHA, BHT, and natural flavorings."
In Sweden, applications for passports and ID cards are done at a machine that captures your photo, signature and fingerprint digitally and sends it off to manufacturing. These machines are distributed to post offices and embassies abroad.
This is too boring. Out here in 'radical' India, we have Aadhar 'unique ID' (tm) for such diverse specimens as trees and cows (and fully equipped with biometrics like fingerprints and Iris).

The same could be (and was) said of mandatory wheelchair ramps.

I've had to half-ass software accessibility requirements before--the company had government contracts, so they did the absolute minimum necessary to avoid violating the letter of the ADA, without any effort to actually make it usable. It made me feel sick. Just like wheelchair ramps, accessible site design is easy if you plan for it from the beginning, like you should. It's only hard if you've been half-assing it for years and then have to go back and fix it, the same as any other technical debt.

8 Marketing Ideas from Inside a $50 Million Startup
That still only addresses half of the problem. How are you going to send Bitcoins to someone in a country where they don't have Internet? Cash is king in those places--hence remittance services like Western Union. Bitcoin is cool but it isn't a panacea and there are a lot of out of touch comments about its uses. You need to understand your customer and why they use a particular product before you can actually say whether Bitcoin or something else will actually be any benefit.
I know how you feel. I'm currently technically doing a 37.5 hour week - but it FEELS like a LOT more and it's killing me. A lot of those hours are at odd times and I seem to work more and then take it up in time in lieu but it's entirely recovery time not doing-things-time.

Try explaining to your boss, "We need more staff because although I consistently meet all targets I'm just working TOO hard".

I get gas lighted when I do so. They insinuate I'm doing something wrong and need to take more breaks. Uh yeah but then the work doesn't get done, and day by day it builds up, and everyone is clamouring for it, and then you make it seem like I'm at fault again?

I started keeping an Excel spreadsheet of what I do every day just to see how much time I "waste". It turns out I'm doing 6-20 different things a day. Which is what I've been telling them, the load of constantly switching between so many different demands on attention and doing stuff "which should only take a minute" but can turn into hours spread out over days - all the time goes.

I'm extremely sad every day. I'm definitely depressed. But the pay is good and it pays my mortgage. So I feel very trapped.

And yeah when I get home I do nothing. I used to do stuff and blog but now I'm just too tired. All day every day I'm working and making decisions and stressing out - I have no capability to function outside of hours. I can't even make dinner so my partner does it. I find it hard to decide on even simple things and if anything goes wrong I'll break down into tears.

I have some YouTube videos that total half a million views, which is not much, but enough that I could be monetizing. I don't turn on monetizing because I don't feel okay pushing more ads on people. So my total is zero.

I would like to make a living producing positive value to the world. I don't want the additional job of promoting advertisements that I would not necessarily endorse just because my work is popular enough that advertisers will pay to take some of the attention I've gotten. Ads are inherently manipulative, and I'd rather encourage everyone to use an adblocker rather than have a conflict-of-interest with what's actually good for my audience.

Generally, from what I understand, street legal means that it still has the brakes it started with and the rollcage hasn't changed. Also it has seatbelts. You can pretty much do anything to a car after that.

Technically all welds have to be done by a certified welder.

Apparently the trick, if you are starting from scratch, is that you go to the engineer at the state troopers for your state who would approve the design before you start. Or you just start with a VIN'd frame and then you don't even really change anything. If the engineer doesn't seem down, try and find another. If you can't find one maybe you should move because you're not going to get it road leagal very easily otherwise.

I won't attempt to convince you with philosophical arguments, as there are none. Whatever philosophical argument I might make, someone will just counter with nihilism.

The only argument is biological. It's the same reason nihilists continue to live. Survival is an essential trait of all species. Ultimately it can be argued that all of our advances had that purpose in mind.

Spreading humanity far and wide helps to satisfy our need for survival. You might argue that it doesn't affect you, as by the time we colonize other systems you will be long dead. But when you produce offspring, you care less about your own survival than the survival of your offspring. That is to say, your need for survival is transferred to your offspring. As long as they survive, you survive in the form of the genetic material you pass on and the knowledge you have endowed upon them.

Presently, the greatest danger to humanity is self-annihilation. Making the transition to an interstellar species is imperative in order to eliminate this danger.
That explains where the money went, but what happened to all that production?
It sort of does hold for current cars. Generally a driver (in most cases, a human) must obtain a further license or some form of government permission/authorization to drive a vehicle for commercial purposes like a taxi or other passenger carrying service.

Cool idea. The main drawback is that the train still has to push the air in front of it so it's no better than a regular train. I think this is the main advantage of hyperloop. Air drag is significant over 40km/h.
Tips for Identifying a Phishing Email
Because we are at a time in history where we just pay the other guy to make a supposedly better product.

I'm looking to buy a new vechicle. I asked the Salesman about repair/maintance of the vechicles on the lot.

He said, "Oh--no one works on their cars anymore. It's what the service wing of the dealership is for."

He wasn't kidding. And there's customers sipping Starbucks, eating pastries, and watching movies in the lush waiting room. I thought, how can these people afford $175/HR. for a Service mechanic?

I didn't even question him. Even if I had a lot of disposable income, I'm not paying $175 hr(last I looked) to anyone to work on my vechicle.

(Guys have been building electric vechicles for the last twenty-thirty years. Twenty years ago my community college was offering a electric vechicle conversion course. It took the students from theory to a finished electric VW. Now--if you buy the right salvaged car; you can fool around with autonomous controls.).
I think the problem is that, while the undergrad doesn't necessarily need to understand graduate-level topics, they should be aware of their existence (and their own current inability to appreciate it)

I agree with a lot of this though my journey has been really different. Running a business didn't interest me for a long time - then I realized I felt I was very skilled and I was just tired of working in the industry. So I came up with side projects on my free time. I think everyone has their own non-linear journey on how they get there.

The biggest thing I have learned so far is it's really not about "hard work". Imo, its much more about how well you balance work and life. Are you on an unsustainable path or are you on a sustainable one? Are you enjoying what you are doing? This is critical. Are you genuinely eager to work on it and can you sustain that after one year? If so, you're highly likely to succeed in my opinion. If you believe in it, and love what you're working on, it's very likely there are other people out there who do too.

I think it's much more likely he was smuggling vinyl, unless the smuggling was also done via a time machine, but I get your point! My wife (Estonian) had an uncle who was a respected yachtsman during the Soviet occupation, and who invariably came back from his trips with lots of 'subversive' albums. It put a different perspective on music I'd had ready access to growing up in Australia, for example Genesis' 'Invisible Touch' - I remember biking to the record store and buying it with (obvious) great ease and some pleasure. My wife told me this album was one she heard after her uncle smuggled it into Estonia, and it was copied by her Dad onto open-reel tape. The story behind the 'how and when' of hearing the music really brought home the difference between being part of the USSR and not.

Actually, the German burocracy (employment agency, tax office, city hall) keeps handing me leaflets about starting my own company (which I find strange, but appreciate it). They offer a lot of support nowadays like courses for founders and help getting started with the paperwork.

Also, there is a special rule for small enterprises: as long as you don't make much money, or in the first year, you can do your accounting like a private person (e.g. you pay VAT when buying, and don't pay Umsatzsteuer). There are other simplifications. This sounds great if you are bootstrapping. Just register, do your business, and only if you are successful, incorporate properly.

Of course, not everything is rosy, but I think entrepreneurs (Selbständige) are still in high regard in Germany.
Afaik, there's a big difference between "street legal built as a one-off" and "street legal as a production car for sale to the public."

Nice, but many employers lay IP claim to everything you do, even on your non-work time, and also forbid working for anyone else. Mine is one of them. Can anyone actually name a tech employer that has a written "moonlighting-friendly" policy?
My experience is that WCAG compliance can actually be beneficial to the company. For instance, an employer of mine saw a very significant jump in sales (as measured by A/B testing) by increasing contrast of certain important elements on a page to meet WCAG standards. I'm not saying this is always the case - the percentage of customers using screen readers is very small - but in a lot of cases, thinking carefully about font, color, or contrast choices can help more than just the disabled.

[Edit] To take another example, 10% of men are colorblind. If you're using color to convey information, you may be making your website very difficult to use for 5% of your customers. If you're operating at any kind of scale, the gains in making your website easier to use for 5% of your customers are going to outweigh the costs of making a change by a wide margin.
Really? How? Couldn't the train stop if the pressure starts to go up too high? It sounds a bit like saying, a broken rail _anywhere_ in a train network causes a derailment and massive loss of life. Train drivers can't see broken tracks until it's too late to stop.
great game!
The real question is not why the US seems to lag behind it's peers in how effective our government is. It is, how is the US able to be so much better than it's peers?

You can't compare little state sized homogenous countries in Europe to the enormous, diverse landscape of the US. Compare the US to any other country of similar population and you will see a performance standout in almost all categories.

Cherry picking European countries and comparing them to the US is like asking why Vermont, Massachusets, Connecticut, or New York are so much better off than Europe.
I don't really follow. Is this transaction in eth or dollars? If the former, how does the algorithm know what the exchange rate is? If the latter, how does it know a USD transaction has even taken place?

It sounds like you're talking about a hypothetical future in which eth is just as useful as USD, meaning that the risk in holding eth and converting it to USD is negligible, and that the contract writer doesn't have to worry about the exchange rate changing much. If so, then it seems like you're sort of solving the easy part and skipping over the hard part.
Right, everything is just feelings anyway, it's all just relative. Can't we all agree that nobody can know anything because we all have a different point of view? Who's to say my offense is worth less than yours??

Sometimes I wish these relativists would all just go live on an island somewhere together, endlessly policing themselves until they start to "get" what is so intellectually bankrupt about their whole paradigm.
I love this movie. I don't want to spoil anything but I wish it was happier.
Is the replaced code going to need to be a clean-room implementation? Doesn't that pretty much mean that it'll have to be done by a completely new contributor?
WCAG is not hard to comply with. If you're using HTML and CSS and JavaScript sensibly, you're probably 95% of the way there already (if not more).
Some are very restrictive. Google famously so. Many others cannot afford to care if you are meeting your obligations and not competing with them or taking advantage of the situation.

If you think you're building something you want funding for then you should quit first, but that's not really what I was talking about.

> By not having a high enough tax on those that mooch away all the money

How are they mooching it away? You have not yet proven away that they haven't accumulated the money fair and square. At the extremes, tiny differences in competence lead to exponentially differing compensation scales. Look at any professional sports league for examples.

> They could afford it. They just don't want to.

Why should they "afford it"? Just being richer does not give anybody lower on the socio-economic spectrum free reign to determine spending/taxation habits. You look at somebody with a mclaren and whine that it's not fair - there are ten people out there looking at your stable supply of food, clothing, and utilities and saying the exact same thing.

And the system that they built with laws that allow them to get away with it - the proposal is to fix that with more laws, conveniently forgetting that the legal system is a NP complex system, which just creates more unintended consequences that only the extremely rich are allowed to exploit.
Ah, that explains it.

Nothing is stopping that model from being used...it is already being used in some cases. And at least from what I can tell, that model has an actual shot at making a profit.

But it is important to note that delivery in general isn't impossible to make viable, but rather the specific type of delivery that Prime Now and Instacart are offering...where you order and get it an hour later. There are plenty of ideas out there that could work quite well, but Amazon and Instacart have already hooked their customers on a higher service standard that will never pay off for them, and if they want to change it to make it viable they are gonna have to piss off a lot of customers.

If you go from stable to testing (or unstable), it should work relatively well closer to release time when bugs in upgrade path are mostly ironed out.
