AMP-on-the-desktop: It looks kinda weird but it loads super fast!
I think your best bet to minimize human effort is this:

* Run the machine over a sample of raw parts, just counting what it sees. Use that estimate to predict which sets can be completely made with high certainty.

* Next choose 6 types of set which can be made, and program the machine to put into 6 bins the correct parts with the correct ratio to form the sets. Anything uncertain or not within the ratios goes in the junk box.

* Now rerun the contents of each box, this time programming the machine to deposit one complete set into each bucket, again discarding parts which don't have a high probability of being correct. Make it beep when it believes a set is complete.

* Now you have an operator weigh the complete set, and if it matches the correct set weight, bag and ship it (self sealing padded bag and auto-printed label), and if not, throw it all back into the input hopper.

Total human time per set should be sub 30 seconds, so assuming a large enough market, it sounds profitable. Assuming 300 pieces per set and 5 parts sorted per second with a 50% failure rate, you would need 4 machines to keep a human busy for the 2nd part of the process. The first part is slower, but could run without supervision.

Assuming you have a 95% part recognition accuracy first time round, and 99.9% the 2nd time (since you are selecting from what is already believed to be 95% the correct part mix for the job, and it's fine to have a very high reject rate), most sets of <1000 parts will be all correct. The weighing step will then probably weed out >75% of errors, and the remaining errors are likely only color related and not so serious.
"You cannot make a man worth a given amount by making it illegal for anyone to offer him anything less. You merely deprive him of the right to earn the amount that his abilities and situation would permit him to earn, while you deprive the community even of the moderate services that he is capable of rendering. In brief, for a low wage you substitute unemployment. You do harm all around, with no comparable compensation." - Henry Hazlitt

That isn't true. If you shrink a metropolis the traffic moves slower and the roads take up more relative space, and more people live close to freeways. There is a relatively small time advantage when you squeeze a city's transportation system, and if you want quality air you do way better in a suburb or exurb than downtown.
My impression was the crowd's response was more of a "sick burn" (Krebs himself smiles and nods in this manner) rather than booing, shouts of disbelief and guffawing (and clapping). If anyone is seriously considering avoiding CloudFlare based on your summary of the interaction, I encourage them to view the video for themselves.

I personally appreciate the willingness to be true to oneself with a quick-witted reply rather than 100% PR-safe professionalism all the time. However, I don't mean to imply that your impression somehow should change or that you should change your decision! My world would be so much nicer if I could just avoid working with people that rubbed me the wrong way.

Are Bitcoin or Ethereum really good as a currency, though? They're quite volatile.

Fred Wilson makes a good point here - it's quite gut-wrenching to send someone a token that might have doubled in value if you had waited a week. And I would imagine the seller might not feel great either if they received a token that took a sharp drop in value upon receiving it.

Buying things is one of the main uses of currency, IMO, and you can't buy much with any cryptocurrency. I don't think that's likely to change - businesses take fiat currency instead of bitcoins or whatever because they have to pay taxes on their business, and those taxes must be paid in US dollars (or GBP or whatever). And if they don't, men with guns will come and arrest them. That's one of the great drivers of demand for dollars that bitcoin can't really compete with.

So where do cryptocurrencies provide value? Well, the main one is in areas where traditional, government-backed fiat currencies can't be used. In other words, mostly illicit cases - drugs, money laundering, etc. Otherwise, especially for those in nations with more developed financial infrastructure, there's no compelling reason to use bitcoin other than purely ideological motivations.

So you're right that cryptocurrencies do have value, it's just that the value is far more limited and based on illegal activity than most of its proponents will claim.
>I am addressing the part about not being lifelong learners.

I'm not disagreeing with you but I do want to point out that your semantics of "lifelong learner" is not the same as msluyter's:

msluyter's "lifelong learner": self-directed, self-motivated learning driven by inner curiosity. Perhaps another word would be auto-didact[1].

KGIII's "lifelong learner": the learner's brains can continue to receive new knowledge well into old age especially if an outside factor (e.g. you the employer) provide structured education

Your definition isn't wrong... but it differs from msluyter's so you're talking past each other.

To me, Mozilla jumped the shark when they did not take a principled stance against web DRM. At that point, to me, their raison d'être of advocating the open web was meaningless, since today, in contrast of when they started, the most popular browser is an open-source product anyway and there is a relatively healthy ecosystem of decentralized power across commercial companies in place to check and balance each other. The place where it breaks and a non-profit model would have been helpful was pushing back on DRM, but Mozilla chose to play along sacrificing its principles for popularity as any other commercial entity would.

This is why people like Richard Stallman who don't compromise on principles are critically important.

Thank you. Though, there is a profit motive. Happy employees do good work. Educated employees helped keep me in front of the competition that was coming online.

We'd eventually expand to offering pedestrian traffic modeling. We'd sell appliances that enabled them to keep their data in-house, as well.

Curiously enough, I'd expected to remain in academia. My dissertation (my Ph.D. is in Applied Mathematics) was based on traffic throughput, optimization and prediction, which led to a contract being offered. I was able to be in the right place, at the right time, and able to take advantage of it.

The rest is, shall we say, history. I ended up in the field largely because the data was free and DEC was able to throw compute resources at me. It is largely luck, even though I put lots of work into it.

Ah well... I don't have words of wisdom. It was largely due to just timing and being able to take the risks. Even selling was largely luck. The economy crashed and the government wanted to build/expand highways as 'shovel ready jobs.'
Our expectations have since increased. I wouldn't want to go back to the GDP I thought was fine ten years ago.

Why not? I think this title "Guardian admits WhatsApp story was flawed" reflects the content better. The original title "Flawed reporting about WhatsApp" could have meant many other things. For example, the article might have complained about flawed reporting of other newspapers.

I like this title better, and the likelyhood that I'd have clicked on it would have been less with the original.

Just because somebody wrote that rule down doesn't mean you have to follow it, much less enforce it. Do you believe in it yourself, in absolutely every case, or do you follow it just because it is a rule? I'm not trolling, just curious. I find to many people on the net follow rules blindly. Rules are crystallized attitudes of communities. They shape the community, but the community also shapes the rules. If people would never break a rule, not even a little bit, they would either never change, or only change to be more strict over time.

Why am I loosing so many words over this? Why do I say you shouldn't bother that much, but then myself bother so much to write this? Because I don't want the moderation on HN to become like Wikipedia or Stack Overflow.

I'd like to +1 this because it needs to be repeated until the whole world has heard it. Since 1950 or so, the S&P 500 has averaged 8% per year growth. Nearly all managed funds have done worse -- and that's before you pay their management fees.

Here is all the investment advice you will ever need: Open a Schwab account, and buy their S&P 500 index fund (SWPPX). There are no fees to open a Schwab account, no trading fees to buy the fund, and essentially no fees to hold it. Do not sell if you think it's going to go down. Just keep buying with whatever extra money you have month-to-month. That 8% per year (plus dividends) will add up fast.

Once you have some assets to your name, managed investment firms like JP Morgan will be courting you. Don't be fooled -- they won't do better than the market over the long run, and you'll pay a 1% per year management fee regardless of how well they do.

And if you're wondering "who is this guy and what is his authority to speak on this?", consider that Warren Buffet, world's greatest investor, agrees with me. Look it up.
I can't get the same quality of ingredients locally (some are not available) without a tremendous amount of time spent traveling around town.

As far as going out to eat, many of the meals rival anything I could pay to have served to me at a restaurant (as well as the time spent traveling).

I'm not sure how valuable your time is, but mine is better spent having somebody deliver me the exact ingredients I need to create a delicious meal with minimal effort on my part (aside from cooking, which I enjoy).

Maybe you enjoy waiting in lines and traveling? I do not.

>No reason why Amazon couldn't just tack on nice recipes to their food delivery service and the acquisition of Whole Foods makes that direction even more likely. Blue Apron is in a dangerous and precarious spot and that's being reflected in the lowering of valuations.

It's a lot more complicated than this and it's distressing you reduced it so much.

The expansion for Amazon would be dramatic and expensive.

Right now, Amazon is a warehouse business that re-sells food products which already pass regulation and inspection.

You're talking about Amazon becoming a food business that prepares uncooked food and re-sells food, which must be regulated and inspected.

These services don't just send you a prepackaged spice container, they individually portion out most of the spices, oils, liquids, creams, etc etc into exact amounts needed.

I guess Amazon could try and find a supplier which would buy high quality ingredients and spices for precise repackaging, but one thing is for sure: it's far more complicated than "add recipes to prepackaged food delivery business"
Until you start seeing low-income people in Seattle and around the country taking to the streets to demand lower minimum wages, don’t listen to anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.

The article ending on this note kind of soured the whole thing. The average person will be perfectly okay with higher wages so long as they don't take into account things like inflation and other knock-on effects - and most won't, because those effects are subtle over time.

The money's gotta come from somewhere at the end of the day. And if the company doesn't want to or can't raise prices (franchises are especially hit by this, since a lot of their pricing flexibility is dictated by a corporate office), the next thing to be cut will always be labor.
Yep. Sure I end up throwing out scallions and parsley that are past their prime but I'm pretty sure I still come out ahead in terms of price versus meal kits.

That said, the waste argument in the other direction also seems overblown (all the plastic bags etc. that BA and many of its competitors use). I'm pretty sure that if you looked at the carbon footprint--or whatever measure you want to use--for Chinese takeout or other prepared food options that people don't think twice about versus "wasteful" BA, you'd probably find those other options were a heck of a lot worse.

(I agree BA is probably somewhat wasteful compared to regular grocery delivery but I'm betting it's pretty small potatoes in the scheme of things.)

I don't think that only providing food and medical treatments is the way to go here. Without educating them to be able to self sustain themselves, the approach of providing them food and vaccines is just perpetuating and amplifying the crisis.

Let's say the funds to overcome the present crisis are found and are enough for a year. What will happen then? All those millions of people survived and another few million children are born. The amount of funds needed this year will not be enough anymore next year and the crisis will be even bigger.

Agreed, illicit transactions is a core use case for Bitcoin & friends.

in any reasonable implementation of lisp the let is implemented with lexical scoping. This is because it is the transformation of a closed over lambda, and lambda arguments have lexical scoping akin to a stack push/pop.

If it weren't it would just be a def/setf/defvar/defparameter.

In the example given, assuming let has the same properties, we have no idea when the second 'let' statement ends, you would need something to signify the end of the block... there isn't anything in the given example. It could be implicit whitespace or something, but that isn't clear.
