If you’re referring to me being more of a target, my experience has been the opposite. I have found that I’m generally given a very wide berth when I have my white cane out. Often people hold doors for me too. I have a suspicion that most would-be criminals have a concept of karma and fear that robbing a blind person would bring lots of extra bad luck to their table.

I can't find any source that says Costco employees are in a union. It seems that a portion of them are, but the vast majority are not in any union:

As of two years ago, less than 8% of Costco’s workforce was unionized.

Shit like this just makes me appreciate our state police force more. They transparently tweet out every time a member of the force is fined for drink driving, speeding etc, which is more often than not.

The scenario I saw with this was the following:

BEAM VM comes up and tries to connect to the database. The database is temporarily unreachable from that machine, but only the Ecto process dies and BEAM VM doesn't die. Since the last process (BEAM) in the Dockerfile is running, Kubernetes thinks it's healthy and will try sending traffic to it.

Compare this to something like node, where the node process will die if it can't connect to the database, and Kubernetes won't try to direct traffic to it and will restart it for you. You can do this with Elixir supervisors as well - that's why I said Kubernetes replicates some of Elixir's functionality.

It's definitely possible to work around all this which is why we ended up using Kubernetes for our Elixir deployment (and I'd recommend it). It's just these little things that make it clear that Kubernetes was designed with something like node in mind and not BEAM.
I've enjoyed burgers at the Habit, and at Five Guys, and I still love In-N-Out. It's even possible that 5 Guys or the Habit have tastier burgers. However, In-n-out burgers are almost half the price, and the drive through service makes me genuinely pleased every time I go. Best drive through process I've ever seen -- people taking your order before you get to the speakers, a window to take your money, a window to give you food, and every post staffed by cheerful, helpful people.

I've even taken the time to find their website and say, "wow, I'm impressed by the good service I've seen here, there, everywhere", which is something I can't usually be bothered to do for any other restaurant.

I'm not sure how much of my enjoyment of them is due to nostalgia, consistently excellent service, or maybe a pareto optimal price-vs-taste point? ;)

My son likes to ask our Google Home the distance to different planets. The numbers, though generally technically correct (sun has worked in the past), are misleading as some are minimum, some average distance and some maximum.

For example "distance to mars" says 54.6 million km, which is the theoretical minimum. "distance to venus" says 261 million km which is maximum. I believe it was Jupiter that previously gave an average distance but now I'm seeing minimum.

I not convinced oil is that big a deal these days. The US kind of owns huge swathes of the world economy - tech - facebook, google apple etc, fast food and drink - coke, pepsi, McD, places to stay - Hilton, Sheraton, airbnb and so on. Typed in Bangkok on an Apple while drinking coffee paid for on MasterCard while waiting to fly on a Boeing.

So people will lend to the US as it had a lot of income, assets and a reputation for paying. Compare that to the country with the world largest oil reserves, Venezuela.

This seems like its really a fault of a poor DM; at the very least you can fudge some rules to make simple combat simpler (ie goblins share initiative), and of course, avoid summoning them when the moods not right.

And you hardly have to go to the length of explanation to make them more interesting: give them scouts, a simple power structure, basic tech (stick+stone spear, carts, etc) and you have more than enough justification to pull more interesting fights out them. A goblin runs, presumably informs some leader, and soon you get a swarm out. You don't need to explain this; rather its what you'd expect to happen, if you saw a goblin with a scope or something.

I mean, it doesn't really matter. Its trivial to fudge the lore on the fly, and to skip dull encounters entirely. I think they still hold value in terms of flavor (territorial control and general threat of the area), and for giving players a way to acknowledge growth (compare lvl 1 fights vs lvl 10 with a horde).

Actively dreading them, I think, is the result of an overly mechanical DM. You're basically operating like a CRPG would, incapable of gauging whether a horde should attack, stuck with whatever the dice rolls.

And hell, fudge the spawn roll. Interrupt the fight with a dragon. Force tactics onto them, by "accident": a group of goblins was ahead of the players, and a group behind, when they stumbled into the players. An accidental surrounding, and you keep your braindead goblins.

Worst case scenario: Claim new species and beef up their stats/int and make them as threatening as you want, while keeping general goblin lore.

They're too damn simple a monster to hate. You can do almost anything you want with them and get away with it

There's nothing wrong talking about yuan. Renminbi is just a bit more formal (note: not capitalized). Yuan is the denomination and exchange rates are expressed in yuan.

They did address it, starting with software 8.0. See http://www.tesla.com/blog/upgrading-autopilot-seeing-world-r... . Chances are that evidence will show that the vehicle detected the fire truck, gave audible warning, and then started braking. That's all if the driver had not disabled forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. They are standard safety features and unless disabled are active during manual driving as well as when Autopilot is active. I don't work for Tesla, but I am very familiar with this type of technology and Tesla vehicles' owner manual descriptions of operation.

You may be correct on all the other points but increasing the monetary base by 400% happened at the same time all broader metrics of money (M2, M3, etc.) would have have rapidly fallen and collapsed.

The entire world economy was deleveraging at an enormous rate and essentially destroying tons of money in the process. Fractional reserve banking essentially lets banks create money; when everyone is busy running for the exits of course the Fed can increase the base by 400% and we would merely be treading water.

We're trying to do the bi-lingual thing here, with a 13 month old child. My wife speaks Finnish exclusively, I speak English.

As we're in Finland I assume that he'll have a Finnish accent when he gets a bit more proficient, but so far things seem to be working out. I expect he'll learn English pretty well, partly via me, but also via random conversations, TV, etc.

One of the pleasant surprises were that his first two words were "Daddy" and "Äiti", respectively.
We do have a policy on this. The short version is that we will fund competitors of companies we have funded in the past, so if that describes you, please don't be dissuaded from applying.

From our FAQ:
Will you fund multiple startups working on the same idea?

Yes. If you fund as many companies as we do it's unavoidable you'll end up with some overlap. Even if you tried not to accept competing companies, you'd still get overlap because startups' ideas morph so much. The way we deal with it is that when two startups are working on related stuff, we don't talk to one about what the other's doing.

In practice it has not turned out to be a problem, because most big markets have room for several slightly different solutions, and it's unlikely that two startups would do precisely the same thing.

There is a company creating a 3d-printed chemical reactor. By downloading a schematic and buying some raw substances, you can create your own lab. It can be used to synthesise drugs in remote areas, such as on Mars, or to make generics for cheap. The exciting part is that the reactor schematic can be downloaded and shared easily. It can also make illegal drugs just as easily as 3d-printers can print guns.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_unit:

”Originally conceived as the average of Earth's aphelion and perihelion”

”a unit of length effectively equal to the average, or mean, distance between Earth and the Sun”

I wondered whether the two are equal. A bit to my surprise, they are (http://www.farmingdale.edu/faculty/sheldon-gordon/RecentArti...)

China's exchange controls limit the external use of yuan. China's leadership and the PBOC go back and forth on this. If the yuan is to be used widely outside China, China will have to relax their exchange controls. But that means more exposure to external financial events like recessions. A few years ago, reduced exchange controls seemed likely, but now, things seem to be tightening up.
I really want to know how they manage their supply chain.

One reason McDonalds seems so bland and generic is most of the ingredients come out of a factory, so everything is centralized.

The vast majority of people who learn calculus in school will never model a changing system in their life again.

The vast majority who didn't take statistics courses in college will still try to use the limited understanding they have of statistics to assess statistical claims or draw conclusions from reported figures. The vast majority of people who never took discrete mathematics courses will still face problems of figuring out the difference of combinations and permutations at some points in their life.

I love calculus and I'm very happy I know it but I would be lying if I said it even approaches the importance of discrete mathematics and statistics in today's world.
>...tight margins means that any path to productivity

But tight margins for a single family owned farm could vary dramatically to that of a corporate farm, I would estimate. (an educated guess on my part) Especially if you factor in bulk growth of crops, centralized (and likely lobbied) subsidies. And the long term desire to push out all privately owned farms.

An easy comparison here is a mom and pop local hardware store vs a coporate chain store. Or a local grocery store vs the Walmart grocery store. The margins can be less for the coporate, and they will still make more money, and have lower prices. And often times will lose money to grind out the competition.

You seem to think there is an equal playing field, and discussing it that way. From my experience and reading, all things large and corporate have a need for growth inherent in their systems. And the easiest lands to expand into are small farms. Unless you are an organic farmer? (high profit, low yield)

>The large corporate farms have their own equipment.

Are you sure about that? All of them? And even if they have their own equipment, don't they still have to start in the south and work their way north as the harvest seasons shift? Seems like a non-argument.

>But realistically, that harvest run is quite predictable and reliable to begin with. That seems like the least likely place for needing glyphosate on wheat.

I am educated guessing and reporting was I was told. I still want to talk to my friend (GMO worker) as to why he would tell me this. I am now a little more motivated to just give him a call, but he's a busy guy. :P

_Research_

In the mean time I did some research online, it looks like glyphosates applied at the end of the harvest increase yield. () So that would explain any extra cost issues you may think is a deterrent to this practice.

Google search for glyphosates cause hormesis in wheat. It looks like the amount of glyphosates being used is much less than you'd think to get this affect. Which again, would affect the costs. (ie, they'd be a lot lower yet again, because the amounts used are lower than for weed control) Also this effect (hormesis caused by small doses of weedkiller on plants) has not been researched much for health reasons, but may be a well known effect in the corporate farming industry, but not the private farms.

This was interesting to look into. By the time I learn more, I am sure this post will age too far.

As to your first question, YC will likely be entirely unaffected because the money is the least valuable aspect of joining the program. An ICO doesn’t bring the notoriety and community you get from YC.

As to your second question, it far more broad and open ended, but there doesn’t seem to be any reason to believe ICOs will bring financial equality to the world. Ability to invest hasn’t been the hurdle stopping wealth redistribution. If anything, this will likely result in more currency control by government, which in turn means more currency control by the global rich.
