> The only real problem here is shitty local governance and NIMBYism that refuses to acknowledge reality and build more housing. In the end, it doesn't stop people from moving there, it just drives up costs and drives out natives and people lower on the socioeconomic ladder. If you want affordable housing markets, you have to build housing in response to demand.

Once housing prices skyrocket and the cheapest buy-in starts at $700k+, nobody is in a rush to build housing for low-income demographics. New development is always just as unaffordably priced, and will continue to be until the current bubble bursts and a recession happens.
It is not an explosion. From the first comment:

Engine didn't explode, it detected an anomaly and shut itself down. Here's spacex's statement concerning the event-

"Approximately one minute and 19 seconds into last night's launch, the Falcon 9 rocket detected an anomaly on one first stage engine. Initial data suggests that one of the rocket's nine Merlin engines, Engine 1, lost pressure suddenly and an engine shutdown command was issued. We know the engine did not explode, because we continued to receive data from it. Panels designed to relieve pressure within the engine bay were ejected to protect the stage and other engines."﻿
Well, that can be seen as a feature as well. When it's no longer useful and left to its own devices, it will disappear all by itself rather than leaving a pile of toxic waste that someone else has to worry about.
Unfortunately, it doesn't.

But I'm adding this on my list of potential new features for next versions!

Speaking of which, he's first cousin to Magnus Pyke - the guy usually remembered in the US (if at all) as the Professor shouting "science!" in Thomas Dolby's "she blinded me with science;" both on the song and in the video. In the UK he was, like his cousin Geoffrey, much better known for being the quintessential boffin, though Magnus self consciously played up this stereotype in his long television career. Sort of like Bill Nye on the outside but Carl Sagan on the inside.
I've been working with kubernetes since 2015 and running production workloads on GKE since 2016. Since you asked for opinions, mine is that the certs don't matter very much. CNCF plays them up, and they will probably have some impact in larger orgs as enterprises get on the train, but in the open source community from which most of the kubernetes momentum emanates there has never really been a ton of respect for formal certification programs, and this doesn't feel any different to me.
Missile (not just, or even primarily) defense by US destroyers is, yes, in part a, but also defense of other assets, both shore assets and other ships, notably carriers and/or amphibious assault ships.

No one is expecting the Navy to have stealth carriers any time soon, even if naval stealth was reliable enough to obviate the need for missile defense.

On my trip to Japan I came down with a flu (Influenza-B). Got 40c fever, full-body muscle pain, the whole shebang. Slept through two whole days, occasionally taking ibuprofen to knock the fever off enough to be able to eat something. Then finally went to a doctor, who without any hesitation prescribed Tamiflu, a stock of which they keep in the office at all times. Two tablets later - the fever is gone, replaced with some dry cough and a bit of a runny nose.

I know my flu. I had plenty of them and if I have one, it lasts for 3-4 weeks before the temp drops below 38c. There is no doubt in my mind that I recovered from the last flu in 2 days exclusively because of Tamiflu and seeing it compared to Paracetamol makes no sense.

We had three main intentions with this project, two of them which you've mentioned. This was a hackathon project, and we decided not to go the generic route of what usually wins at such events. We wanted to have fun, and enjoy the process of creation. We ended up insulting our judges, and came last place :)
It looks like someone is paying attention to this thread, since all these terms are on the blacklist now.

However, I had wondered if the author's original intention mainly was to help cooks make a determination about non-obvious ingredients. Anyone with a basic grasp of the concept of veganism probably already knows that steak, bacon, ham, pheasant, venison, cheddar, mozzarella, ghee, lactic acid, sour cream aren't vegan. Not so "isopropyl myristate" or "laneth-10" (to pick a couple of random ones from the list), and that seems like the tool's area of greatest potential utility.
It seems pretty unlikely to me that 18F would routinely be called upon to implement a specifically Trumpian agenda. From the little I know of what they do, it's about making government effective in service to the American people. That should be a politically neutral goal.

To the extent that even Trump's administration is focused on that, I can support it. However, the evidence I've seen so far strongly suggests to me that it's not.

>If you're pulling six figures in the bay area you could easily be spending 50% of your take home on rent.

You also put up with a longer commute, less house, or a less nice neighborhood and keep your rent under 30% of take home pay.

Edit: Per [0] if you make $100k you end up with $5752 a month in take home pay. At 30% that would give us $1725.60 a month for rent. Checking craigslist [1] there are 55 places available for less than that if you are willing to rent just a room.

Yes that part of the article was classic survivorship bias. Ask 100 millionaires how they got rich, and 62 of them started a business! They should ask 100 people who started a business how many became millionaires.
The square brackets in your tr invocation are unnecessary.
That hiring freeze screwed over a lot of government agencies. People in the pipe to be hired but who hadn't signed were kicked to the curb. The agencies did nothing wrong, but people have to eat. So they lost a lot of good, qualified candidates.

Then in order to fill the vacancies created by that (and attrition since so much of the federal workforce is retiring every year) they've basically just grabbed anyone with a pulse who applied.

Any vacancy (18F may be different) left open too long results in losing the position completely. So they have to fill them or risk never being able to fill it in the future.

Cumulative return for the S&P 500 over the past 9 years (conveniently leaving out the 2008 crash), with dividend reinvestment, is equivalent to a YoY gain of 16.25%, which gets you to a million on $46,000 per year for those 9 years. However I think it would be foolish to presume that the stock market will continue to post those kind of gains forever.

Edit: adjusted ambiguous wording about S&P gains
Reddit discussion, with comments from one of the researchers: [1]

The study used 133 million online chess games as data.

Comment from that researcher:

> I'm a professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto and an avid chess fan. In my work I study large datasets of online human behaviour, and recently I've been studying decision-making with online chess games. I thought you'd be interested in seeing your online games being used for research :)

> In our paper, we find that players are motivated by beating their personal best ratings just as Kahneman and Tversky's prospect theory would predict. Personal bests are "reference points" that people are loss averse towards: players put in substantial effort to beat them, and once they do, they disproportionately stop playing for awhile (because they don't want to fall back down below their best). Sound familiar?

I think you hit the nail on the head here. I stopped using Reddit and started using Twitter. Perhaps this is a trend.
Reddit in general has become too draconian and filtered by secretive dictatorial mods. And I've used Reddit for nearly a decade, so my disappointment with its decline is palpable. I'd prefer to get info directly from the horse's mouth.

Python is and always has been designed to be an introductory programming language, so your criticism does not apply in the case of this design intent. More people learn Python first than learn another language first. Having seen beginning programmers learn Python, I can say this is an utter nonissue to them.

For the case of experienced programmers, the behavior is consistent and simple. In what way does this not "make sense?" Does Haskell's normal order evaluation not "make sense?" Does Ruby's optional parentheses for method calls not "make sense?" Does a regular expression literal syntax not "make sense?" Does JSX not "make sense?" Do public/protected/private modifiers in Java not "make sense?"

Stop confusing a match to your personal comfort zone for actual quality or fitness-for-purpose.

Not at all. I've done this with my family, friends have done this, and it is definitely not for everyone - especially if you dont like doing all the repairs and renovations yourself all the time.

I hated it, and sure after 10-20 years you are sure to succeed, and those who do this do well, but for me it is not worth it. I'd rather spend my free time doing just about anything except having to deal with all the headaches you have as a landlord and handyman.
This is what I noticed as well. Most of things containers are advocated for are already solved.

The selling point of containers is to solve certain issues (seems like package management, removing dependency on the OS etc are the most popular).

To me it looks like instead fixing the actual issues, we are taking a blanket covering all of that crap and building our beautiful solution on top of that.
We have a beautiful world with unicorns on top of a dumpster fire of mixing system dependencies with our application dependencies.

Also yesterday found something amusing a coworker was complaining that putting a small app into a base container resulted with image that was almost 1GB in size, compared to ~50MB when using a minimalistic one. When asked why not just use the minimalistic one I learned that it was mandated to use the standard image for everything.

To me this is absurd since by doing that aren't we essentially making a full circle?
> It seems pretty unlikely to me that 18F would routinely be called upon to implement a specifically Trumpian agenda. From the little I know of what they do, it's about making government effective in service to the American people. That should be a politically neutral goal.

In government, “in service to the American people" in the mission of an agency means, in practice, “in service to the priorities of the current political leadership”.

Notionally, democratic accountability should make the latter approximate the former, but in practice results are quite mixed.
Your scaling is linear. It's not really different at all, the numbers are just larger. At the end of the day, lower cost = better.
It is a good example of how hard these landings can be, they didn't have the barge out for GovSat because they didn't think they could land it, and they did for Falcon Heavy because they thought they could. I'm not sure what the take away should be from an operations standpoint, always leave equipment on site?

The other question is that given the number of these that have landed or nearly landed they have always come down within a few 100 yards of their intended landing point. When does range safety open up the rules about stationing personnel on ships down range?
Have an income that can get you a mortgage for a starter property. The median existing US house is about $220k to $250k depending. Assume you shoot lower, $175k. Texas, and three dozen other states, are overflowing with houses in the $175k to $225k ballpark.

Your primary challenge will be the downpayment. You'll either need to involve another investor, family/friends, do something risky on debt, or save for a number of years first.

Your girlfriend is overstating the case. In tissue culture, almost 100% of circulating strains of flu are susceptible to oseltamivir. However, clinical and epi studies have shown, at best, a very modest effect on disease in otherwise healthy adults. It may reduce transmission, but it comes with an increased likelihood of vomiting and diarrhea. It is far more critical for those at risk of complications (the elderly, those with underlying respiratory conditions).

Widespread usage of oseltamivir will almost certainly lead to widespread resistance, and there aren't many other options for future, particularly nasty flus. This is the reason for the US stockpile--even though the data wasn't conclusive on its benefits, oseltamivir was the best plan for pandemic flu.

Engines alone could be, but the their combination wasn't reliable because of interactions between them and need for synchronization. As Musk points out, it was an avionics problem.
Would love to see how they solve the problem of third party markets for twitter followers.
It's viable. Just make sure you get an inspection prior to buying the house (usually $1000 and under for this) to avoid getting a money-pit. Save a chunk, say 25%, of rental income and just hire people to resolve minor problems.

Again, if you decide to do this get an inspection. You will be screwed if you buy something with structural, plumbing, electrical or foundation problems (which are technically structural, but I put in its own category since it's that bad).

That being said, you're definitely going to want to learn how to do some basic stuff like drywall, change outlets, tighten pipes, etc.

Sanctions shut them out of the legitimate economy. Probably easiest make money in the black market for illegal goods than in the black market for goods everyone else can sell legally.
You normally get it for free if you're using a UINavigationController, see interactivePopGestureRecognizer.

I've never touched it beyond letting the default one work, but it's probably done using UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer. If there's another gesture being grabbed by the active view (like scrolling) you might need to tell your UIGestureRecognizerDelegate to allow the gestures simultaneously.

EDIT - Oh I see, parent comment doesn't like the system standard of swiping from the edge of the screen. So that'd be a regular pan gesture recognizer, and probably trickier to do at the same time as scroll view.

I'd be hesitant to take that suggestion, since it means you'd never be able to use a "swipe right" gesture on the individual list items, like what you see in Mail for marking a message as read/unread.

Here's another feature suggestion, shamelessly lifted from the Apollo reddit client. Long press on the navigation bar to toggle between light and dark theme.

I'd also point out that your "sliders" icon for the settings tab is rather unconventional on iOS. Users will expect a gear icon to represent settings.
Not true. There are plenty of cities in the US where you can buy a very nice house with several bedrooms in the 150k-250k range. You can get by with even less if you're willing to start with a fixer-upper. Totally doable for non-millionaires, especially if you're starting off with a mortgage as the OP described.

And plenty of people still seek roommates in these areas; lower housing costs also tend to correlate with lower wages and general cost of living, so it doesn't mean everyone is going to automatically live alone just because you're not in SF or NYC.

Right. As a lot of social functions among close friends have moved to Instagram, Snapchat, or just group chats in messaging apps, what's left on Facebook? Your racist uncle, and high school friends you never talk to anymore.
If the house is in reasonable shape when you buy it you don't have to be very handy at all. If you take preventative care, like checking the roof, cleaning out gutters, basic inspections monthly, you really shouldn't have any large expenses.

Also there is a literal legion of professionals who can fix any issue you will encounter.

The above advice doesn't apply if you are buying a distressed property that will require significant upgrades and repairs.
"Self documenting code" often isn't, in my experience
The article reads like the author still hasn't tried selling it. B2B MVPs work just as well as B2C product. Sometimes they work even better with the correct client giving big $$$ to build some features with priority.

From a startup founder who also had a "We will perfect the product and then it will sell itself" mentality, which was one of our major mistakes: Start stelling! Now!

Even with a perfect product the sales process will only get only 20-30% easier. Even with the perfect product you will need the same optimized sales pitch and the same optimized sales presentations.

Low tax rate in developing countries gives you non-existing public services and infrastructure in shambles. Compensating these two can after all costs you more than in countries with higher salaries, especially in emergency situations. Just look up how healthcare in Romania looks like.

18F is part of the General Services Administration and was ostensibly tasked to not just work on IT (for GSA, and others) but to develop and promulgate best practices across the federal agencies.

A 2015 blog post about "The difference between 18F and USDS": https://ben.balter.com/2015/04/22/the-difference-between-18f...

> The [Presidential Innovation Fellows] program was a success, and soon after a group called 18F was created within the General Services Administration (GSA) not only to house the PIFs, both physically and bureaucratically, but also to continue and augment their efforts — to centralize forward-thinking technologists in government under one administrative umbrella, and to provide a vehicle for change that wasn’t tied so closely to the administration and the highly political world in which it operates on a daily basis
Yes, but that is an implementation detail.

Unity devs could have gone full way and implemented a compiler backend themselves.

Instead they decided to take advantage of the SDK present in every target platform they support.

C++ once upon a time, also got compiled by generating C code.
All games are played by an arbitrary set of rules designed to encourage a particular kind of competition. New equipment, new tactics or simply increasing skill levels may undermine critical aspects of the balance or challenge of those games. Practically all sports have tweaked their rules over time to ensure that the game remains fair, challenging and enjoyable to watch.

In the early 1950s, the NBA had a serious problem with boring, low-scoring games. Once teams had achieved a lead, they tended to run out the clock by passing the ball between each other and playing very defensively. In 1954, they introduced the shot clock, which effectively prohibited these stalling tactics and was widely credited with saving the game as a spectator sport.

Golf has regularly changed the rules to preserve the integrity of traditional courses. Better clubs, better balls and greater athleticism were making many holes almost trivial for professional players. Rather than destroying their heritage by abandoning iconic courses, they chose to regulate the equipment. They haven't just banned new developments - in many cases, they prohibited equipment that had been used in competition for many years.

In the case of curling, the directional brush heads revealed a new way of using old equipment. Traditional bristle brush heads were thought to be obsolete, but turn out to be extremely powerful if they are brand new, very stiff and used in a specific way. This combination of factors may be detrimental to the game as a whole. I think that it's entirely reasonable for the World Curling Federation to consider a ban on certain types of bristled brush head.

It's worth contemplating the fact that the ban on directional brush heads came entirely from the players themselves - prior to the ban, 34 elite curling teams signed an open letter saying that they would not use the new technology.
