A service with curbside pickup is not identical to one where the ingredients and instructions are waiting when one comes home.

Consider, for instance, the logistics for someone who doesn't own a car.
Maybe. A few thoughts:

1) Automobile efficiency has moved dramatically since the 70's and that's due to government regulation. That regulation continues to push the industry as a whole.

2) The regulation goes beyond automobiles, were moving to alternative fuels as a people. Auto's will be drug along with that shift.

3) Automobiles and selling cars, in general, are a lot more than JUST the drivetrain. All that was really talking about with electric is a drivetrain. It's not clear to me yet that everything about a car has to be rethought to simply make it electric.
I got the same feeling playing TIS-100! It's cool it has a bit of story to it, but I just kept thinking to myself "I may as well write real software".
I don't think movements and communities are mutually exclusive, which you seem to imply (or i'm still misunderstanding). In fact, I would say the movements are often responsible for invigorating and restoring/refurbishing a community. The Lutherans, despite forking from Catholicism, actually also improved Catholicism. The civil rights movement made America better, but it was inherently adversarial because at some point you're going to have to say "hey i'm not being treated as fair as you are!" There is no way to fix a community without identifying its warts. It's like any problem, how do you solve it unless you call it out and identify it and agree mutually that it is a problem?

We definitely need better communities, especially as religion becomes less popular in America and that was the traditional community before. Stable life-long jobs and unions are also leaving which are another form of secular community. So people are definitely more isolated. And if we are isolated from people who are different than us, including black people, it will make these kind of fears more pronounced as we often fear the unknown or give in to the loudest stereotypes.

I also live in a yuppie neighborhood, in Denver, which has one of the highest homeless rates in the country. My view on the homeless is that I really don't mind them as a group, but some of them are trouble, just like some non-homeless people are trouble. Never had a violent interaction with a "homeless person" or felt scared by the existence of homeless people. The homeless are part of my community, they live in my community. They are people...without homes, but they are still humans.

So, you ask whether you can maintain loving kindness in the face of threat/danger/aggression? I'm saying there is no such thing that exists on a daily basis. I don't fear any homeless person unless they approach me in a way that says they mean harm to me personally.

I think it's important for Americans to see the homeless in our neighborhoods, ESPECIALLY us yuppies, so that we can be reminded of what a shameful failure it is that the richest country in the world still has a homeless problem this bad. And we can privatize and segregate ourselves as much as possible in our homes and parks to shield us from it, but we can't eject homeless people from a city that we have to share.

Nope, seems totally fine.

Why did the agent deny your renewal, if I may ask? I thought TN renewal denials were pretty rare.
Not sure what you're getting at. But, FWIW,

First, the original study in question involved Israeli parole board hearings. I'm not sure if that augurs in favor of few easy cases or many easy cases.

Second, at least in the United States and regarding both general criminal and civil matters, there are few easy cases in terms of how judicial resources are spent. The easy cases would have pled out or settled, with the courts only nominally involved as a matter of process. Trials are arduous time sinks, both inside and outside the court room; few cases go to trial.

On the other, if we're talking about discrete hearings in front a judge, most would be easy. That's because most hearings are for motions or other orders (e.g. approval of a plea deal or settlement), and the complex aspects of those would have largely been hashed out between the parties, in the filings, or in the judge's chambers. That applies for all cases. A trial might take one or two extended courtroom proceedings, but have been preceded (and even succeeded!) by a dozen quick hearings on motions and other process.

I think you've read something into the GP that wasn't there. I don't see them justifying or excusing bad practices anywhere in the post. Merely stating that they occurred (which is true).

> The norms were to crack down on that sort of thing when it happened

This what the GP is really getting at. This was never cracked down on in the past (I have no clue where you'd get the idea from that it was) because it wasn't done in the open as it is now. Now that it's blatant, we may finally have an opportunity to fight it.
> It's not that Tesla will or won't be successful, it's just that as it succeeds, it's changing the ecosystem around it.

I invested in Tesla because I wanted this to happen. For me, Tesla is not successful unless it changes the ecosystem around it. If, while doing that, it goes under as a car manufacturer, but in the end changed the ecosystem for the better, that's great! Sometimes a thing only exists in order to make itself redundant.

I doubt this will happen, though. Instead, I expect it to be like the iPhone vs Android: there will continue to be a premium electric car by the people who launched the first real contender, but other companies will outscale them and eventually provide really competitive products. That's also fine. (Note that Android was a newcomer as well....)
Well, we could in principle build a computer capable of this level of understanding, and then use a brain-computer interface to augment our own understanding with the computer's...
Not everyone wants that.

Sure, in which case they shouldn't be complaining about not having impactful work.

I strongly doubt they'll be on their deathbeds thinking "I regret wasting all that time spent with family and doing things I love; I ought to have made a bigger impact at work instead"

This is a false narrative and not mutually exclusive with doing important work. Most people die suddenly without a community surrounding them, family or otherwise. I'm dubious about the number of people who have great end of life with a loving family surrounding them.
"The house's market value is the same as its market cap."

That's because houses are quoted in total, not just the equity piece. Stocks are only the equity. (They could quote just the equity piece of houses. In that case it would be unhelpful to compare prices without checking the debt.)

A lot of people use their computer keyboard more than any other single object they don't sleep on. There's finally (thank you Cherry MX) a supply meeting the presumably pent-up demand for decent keyboards. I hated those membrane things, and you could get them for under $10 as far back as 2003. These days you can get a perfectly good _repairable_ mechanical switch keyboard for about $35.

Success =/= ambition. Congrats on the success but it's not the same as wanting to conquer some market or have outsized impact on some segment.
Sure, we're not rationing food and supplies, but I'd argue that many people think there is an existential threat that needs combating. The war on terror, which you mentioned, can be viewed as another front to the war in Iraq/Afghanistan (or vice versa), and I think you'll find that many people in the US view them as directly related. The threat a lot of people perceive is from "terrorists" or "Islam" or even just "middle easterners". And that was at least part of the reason the current US president was elected. The travel bans in the US are not normal everyday business. They are part of that. The US might not be in a WWII-style war footing, and it might not affect you specifically very much that you're aware of, but it's definitely still in a war footing.
There is also such a thing as a representative summary of what the article is going to be about. It's about how DIYGirls worked with a group of high schoolers, part of an all girls club, to make a solar powered tent.

More appropriate would be to heckle "I can't live in an iPad".

As far as I can know, food prices in America have gone down a little bit in the long term in comparison to general price index; 1982 food price index was 100 and now it is 90. Where I live (north Europe), the price drop has been more substantial.

The biggest health problem that poor people face in the U.S. is obesity.

But even if food is not problem, the real issues are housing and health care costs.

> So why so few courses teach how to build commercial products, that will bring students not only knowledge, but also an opportunity to market the outcome and have some real profit?

because that would create competition and nullify the opportunity

> Hence many students struggle just to figure out how to deal with the course. Many people have even lower levels of understanding how to approach learning, learning how to learn should probably be ingrained in every course.

The first part is true, learning how to learn is prerequisite to university level courses, self-organization is expected from a high school curriculum. This is a difficult topic. Hence, the second part is out of focus for such courses.

> Nearly 98% of all courses offer a poor communication model

You could say the same about any campus, but communication apart from the course material is not at first order the responsibility of the course offering to solve, except in courses focused on social sciences, or rather soft skills.

Anyhow, forums are difficult, true, but bulletin boards and mailing-lists are the traditional channels of the internet. Social networks are a developing industry. Video or just audio is a proven alternative to text.

For courses focused on communication, from my experience, a class on presentation technique was as an insightful topic, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. Surely, less technical topics are less amenable via just text.

> The more niche is the theme you’re seeking to learn about, the harder it is to find something great, even just something worthwhile of your time.

as I just said

> English for TOEFL? Ok. English for business? Ok. English for architects? Ha-ha. English for landscape architects? Ha-ha-ha!

Technical vernacular is C level (in toefel terms, I guess). Reading a book on the topic should help to familiarity with the topic.

> Despite having an overwhelming stream of learning resources, it’s still hard to find something that is excellent personally ...

The choice is overwhelming, therefore, focus is needed. Mass education is not really intended to be totally personal. Gamification is a current theme in motivation, maybe finding the right course can be seen as an adventure? A course is always just supplemental, don't expect too much of it, too.
I never understood why Redux became so popular.

It basically tries to enforces a few old ideas, pure functions, message passing and immutability, with no help from the language, which results in verbose and ugly code.

`a.b = c` becomes `Object.assign({}, a, { b = c })`

and

`object.method(data)` becomes `store.dispatch({type: METHOD, data})` with the implementation code of the "object" being a huge "switch" statement.

If you want immutability, pure functions and message passing, then why not use a language that is build around them and make your life easier? Clojurescript maybe?

Also having a single store for all your data, definitely doesn't help with speed as a single event suddenly becomes an O(LogN) operation in the best case.

As said, real estate prices have gone up. But in early 1970's, Americans used 20 % of their inćome on food. Now it's somewhere around 6-7 %. So, for this most basic of commodities, the purchasing power has increased substantially.

Listing current financial metrics compared to incumbent automakers kind of misses the point on Tesla. Not that it isn't "overvalued" (might be the most ambiguous word in investing) but Tesla's annualized GM is ~8% better than Fords, they own the refueling network (as opposed to incumbents which outsource it to gas stations), and are poised to control much of the future battery supply. Your Musk marketing comment is spot on in my opinion but at the end of they day these are not analogous companies financially, Tesla's charted a much-bifurcated path to growth and profitability relative to current auto companies.
This insidious definition of Uber as a taxi company must be highlighted. Their entire business model is based on them insisting they are not a taxi company and as such the taxi laws do not apply to them. Everyone knows this is horseshit and when there's no focus on it , just calls Uber a taxi company and ignores cheerily the devastating effect Uber has on the rule of law. What would remain of society if every company could pick which regulations they want to keep and which ones they don't?

We used it a lot when they just started. For a while the quality was very good: chefs did a good job providing variety of choices, packaging was good. But after a year or so they started to cut the cost and shifted to low-quality selection which felt like fast food. We moved to Home Chef: it's pricier, but they provide what Blue Apron was when they started.
> This what the GP is really getting at. This was never cracked down on in the past (I have no clue where you'd get the idea from that it was) because it wasn't done in the open as it is now.

It wasn't done in the open because all kinds of structures, both formal and informal, were erected to crack down on it after the last time it was done so flagrantly in the open; OTOH, those have been systematically eroded over the last several decades so that with the political branches sand judiciary all in the hands of the same faction, they no longer function to restrain it.
They probably use delivery services for groceries or don't cook. The point of blue apron was it was an easy way for people intimidated by cooking to start doing it.
Can you explain the relevance of $11/share for Ford?
And if it wasn't for some bad code and quality control, we could have a much better idea of what the monolith is[0]. Heck if the Fobos-Grunt mission was successful we could have up to 200 grams of phobos dirt back on Earth right now. This is such a large sample size, that demonstration of these techniques would arguably be an advance for asteroid mining.

But alas, space exploration is hard, so we can only hope that the Fobos-Grunt 2 mission happens.

> Imagine the case where button color is embedded into the implementation of every component. If a UX designer decided that the new apps' brand will be partly new button colors - congrats, you'll have to change every button component instead of a single line of CSS.

Not at all. In fact I'd argue it's just as simple if not even simpler than having plain old CSS in that use case. You could easily have brand colours in either a theme or config file and there you go: one line of change. As others have said it's a lot easier than it sounds and styled-compenents makes a lot of sense especially in a world where a lot of places are preprocessing their stylesheets with SASS or LESS.
You think that money is the key to scaling up new manufacturing lines, when in fact new manufacturing lines scales up through really hard engineering, and no good, driven, or genius engineer is going to go work for Ford or GM regardless of pay. They want to work at Tesla where they can actually have autonomy and decision making power.

Interviews of SpaceX and Tesla engineers show how much they've grown out of the conservative engineering molds they found at large, bureaucratic companies like Ford and GM.

Edit: Basically Ford and GM are manager driven. They are about small, incremental change where you don't change too much too fast. And you are one cog in a line of 50 cogs. At Tesla it's cutthroat and bloody, so if you get recognition and clout early on, then you basically get to do whatever you want. At least that's my understanding and that's the understanding that good engineers have
I think the OP shares my sentiment that it's a shame Bitcoin doesn't use /actual/ work (some result that is easy to check but difficult to compute) as the basis for mining.

The other thing that I feel went wrong as a direct result of this is that instead of Bitcoin using the /ability/ to do work as a lottery for handing out initial currency it has been biased towards nonce specific hardware (instead of general computing) being used; with the result that the protocol has stagnated and cabals are now able to collude to control the protocol.

We used it for about 6 months (or maybe a little more) a few years ago. I got it for my wife who enjoys cooking and enjoyed the "semi-forced" variety. Several of the meals (or close variants) are now in our regular rotation at home.

I'd say we were glad on balance that we tried it.

Cons:

Incredibly expensive for what you get. (Obviously; they're paying a large amount for shipping and a large amount for marketing.)

Ingredients were generally acceptable quality, the chicken was quite good but the beef was pretty uniformly terrible. (I often thought back to Rodney Dangerfield's quote in Caddyshack: "this steak still has marks from where the jockey was hitting it!")

After a few months, the variety/novelty factor wears off and then it just becomes an incredibly expensive way to get a small amount of groceries delivered.

I don't want to seem like I'm grinding an axe, but it also annoyed me greatly that there's no web UX accessible way to cancel your account online. (You have to call and talk to a human.) Solution: google for the hidden cancellation page or just remember every few weeks to google "blue apron" or "plated" and click on a paid ad to bring you to the site and cancel the deliveries for the next six weeks. :) That makes their churn numbers look lower, but their SEM expenses higher...
At Amazon's scale, a very very small increase in the effectiveness of recommendations can represent millions in revenue. They probably do have layers of exceptions, and custom-built software used by teams of "editors" to manually manage these exceptions. Not to mention the experimentation system where they are simultaneously testing hundreds of things from CSS one-liners to new ranking algorithms.

It's probably a pretty complex beast with the weight and inertia of a core system that's been continuously in production through 20 years of growth. They probably continue to invest heavily in it, the ROI is there, it's just a really hard problem for them at this point. Their engineers probably curse its limitations and would love to rewrite/replace old and outdated parts, and indeed there will be teams working on that, but those projects will either die out or spend so much time reaching feature parity with the bloated existing system that it ends up looking much the same.
