I should also mention, one thing that doesn’t seem obvious to me is why rich companies don’t actually just pay their fulfillment employees more? I’m assuming they are worried that they may not be able to expand their operation due to costs if they have set wages too high. I mean basically somebody is punching numbers into spreadsheets for lots of big companies and saying if we pay X then it means we have operating expenses that are some fraction of revenue and that is “bad”.. but I would imagine having people excited to work there because the job pays well and they can see them doing it for 10 years is probably much better than burning people out in 1 year.. it would be interesting to have somebody who sits in front of one of those spreadsheets to explain why they don’t think it works out that way..

My understanding with people in Germany working at various technical jobs like the automakers and suppliers to the automakers, they don’t get paid too much but have lots of vacation time and a nice quality of life. My take is that it is equivalently in the US would be like getting paid 50k per year but get 40 days of vacation per year that are paid. So the net result is the company employs more people to cover the workload. And have like 32 or 36 hour work weeks.
Fortunately we don't have an unsustainable quality of life.

It's pretty simple mathematically. Not so simple politically.

You slash $250 billion off the US military. You slash $100 billion in local+state+federal spending off of all the activities related to the war on drugs.

You very lightly cut entitlements.

You raise taxes on the top 10% by quite a bit. You raise taxes on the next quarter by a modest amount.

Your budget is now close to break-even. You haven't impacted the standard of living of ~95% of Americans at all.

Quite the opposite, you just dramatically boosted the long-term prospects of the quality of life for the average American. Hundreds of billions in wasted revenue can now flow into highly productive use over time, whether healthcare or transportation/infrastructure (or just not running up debt interest by exceeding the budget). Just by not running up that debt interest, you'll save trillions of dollars over time.

If you really wanted to dramatically boost the US standard of living, you'd squeeze the healthcare cost monster to death. The monetary benefit of that system overwhelmingly flows to the top quarter of Americans, who are already doing extraordinarily well. We have a ton of room to work with in that area, that could improve our situation by hundreds of billions of dollars per year. It's not even necessary to get creative, all we have to do is begin copying any number of several highly function systems from around the world.

Cutting the military etc. will harm the economy you might say? Except that's obviously wrong. It'll further unleash the economy, releasing that money to far superior productive, compounding use. Most US military spending is for soldiers, who are contributing very little to the US economy as is versus their peers, their labor is low productivity and low innovation. They make nothing, they're nearly strictly consumption engines. No other prosperous developed economies have the need to spend on such things at such a high rate, neither does the US. It merely requires that the US accept that it's not the world police and doesn't need to be.
What will come first guys, the San Andreas fault letting go or the American stock market bubble? Both been steadily developing for quite some time now.

Pulling it up on Amazon, it has a blue cover with an old photo on it, which fits my memory. I can't swear to it, but it looks very promising.
This reminds me of a scheme that power retailers attempted a couple of years ago. It was essentially the same thing, they put solar panels on your roof, and they pay you a royalty. I don't think it was a particularly popular scheme. Solar panels were coming more and more into reach of the households budget, that it didn't need to be funded externally. Low royalty fees, and then having to provide access probably killed it in the end.

This time however, it is government, and Housing Trust means it is essentially a captive market. A market who definitely cannot afford solar panels themselves. Maybe by not having a big profit motive this will be more successful? Time is yet to tell.

This was my first reaction. I don’t see why a company would allow this, it could easily put them in a tight spot if they were trying to raise capital at the same time.
Maybe I missed it but there doesn't seem to be much info on the selling price. Did it sell on the valuation implied by the last funding round or was it lower to "solve the risk problem for the investors?".
That's only about 6000 decimal digits long - from a quick visual check the longest run was four sixes in sequence:

Expect to get length 1 in a number 10 digits long, 2 in a number 100 digits long (10²), 3 in a number 1000 digits long (10^1000)... So expect to find a run of 100 6s in a random number 10^googol digits long I think.

> Mapping-with-ordered-keys is such a useful and pervasive data structure (all database query result rows, for one) that an ordered dictionary should be a fundamental part of a language.

Here's one real-life use case of that: Avro records. One of the formats Avro uses is a text format that's basically ordered JSON. One company I worked for years ago used Avro as its wire protocol, and some Avro data was stored as JSON files on disk. Of course, Python's JSON implementation by default loads/unloads JSON to/from a dict. So just calling json.load() and json.dump() means I can't just load an Avro record from disk, change some data, and save it (which is something that came up when I was writing an upgrade script at a company I was working at years ago).

Thankfully, I had an out: the JSON library lets you override what container you load JSON into with object_pairs_hook, so I could just snarf it into an OrderedDict. But if I ever have to do this again after 3.7 comes out, I'm glad I won't have to worry about making sure I have the right container class. It makes my code simpler, and I won't have to leave a comment explaining why the code will break unless I specify an OrderedDict.

Just thinking about it actually, I just realized.. if Germany has free healthcare then that takes a big chunk out of the spreadsheet. Companies adding more employees don’t have a fixed per worker cost that is as high if the government pays for healthcare.. basically adding more people and lowering hours everybody works is easy math if the fixed per worker costs are small compared to wage costs.

Not to be condescending, but I really feel sorry for you. There is nothing wrong with ambition, but when it becomes a prison of obligation where you feel the need to pay back the expectation of others then I feel it is misplaced.

May I ask, who do you feel obligated to? Your parents or society? Is there really an obligation on you, or are you just taking on the obligation as a way of feeling special? Do you feel that if you don't achieve your "best" that society will suffer?

If I were an ambitious person that I would be begging you to pursue a mediocre career. The fewer "privileged" people at the top, the more room there is for those who have not had such privilege.

If "you" is some abstract entity with infinite time, perhaps. Even if you do ten three-hour runs a day, you can't actually get a very high deviation from average in any given century. Getting a certain deviation requires exponential time in proportion to the number of RNG calls.

Yes, all those things are interesting to read and spot on. What I need is 1. the person to set up the fast fabulous web site, 2. the person to take the photos, 3. the person to write up the blurbs (could combine 2 and 3) and 4 the person to keep track, package and post out the items. It is all very well to talk about mom and pop stores, but part of the problem is not necessarily lack of understanding etc. but lack of time and energy and money to pay for it. Very hard to combine bricks and mortar and internet in this business without employing people with enthusiasm and expertise. If you are covering outgoings in small business today you are doing well.

been a victim of shit corporate SPAs

1. tons of widgets/slides/inputs in one single page

2. click submit -> error -> go back -> all filled info gone

3. cant open links in new tabs

4. cant copy shit off the inputs because text was in some kind of fake div with v-data attribute with disabled cursor movements. Had to use devtools to copy shit

5. Naturally, cant paste shit. Had to manually type MD5 checksums.

6. Always got redirect to home page after login

7. Broken links everywhere. Cant restore page state via link. IDK if this page is broken or still ajax in-progress. Had to open devtools to see if there's any js errors

8. If page is broken, refresh, boom, all your typed contents and procedures are gone.

I think if people cant make a proper "multi" page form based web application, they should not be allowed to engage SPA at all.
Not sure if that's what you mean, but when Andrew Clark keeps mentioning the "async" word, he means async rendering, not async loading.
>lol you caught me, I'm old

Ha! Only because I can totally relate my friend. Been in the game a while myself. That really is how I can identify with what you're saying.

And, you know what? We're right! Adding an attribute to an HTML-like component tag is not programming, no matter who insists it to be so. That's not to say there's no value to such approaches, but it still doesn't make it coding.

Was talking to another coder friend a while back and we agreed the game has changed: it's more about integrating pieces into a whole than writing swaths of logic. In other words, "coding" is now more assembling than construction.

It's possibly (but not categorically) more productive and it may represent "progress" by some measures, but it is still ironic to hear that referred to as programming over actual programming.

One benefit of biochar is that it anecdotally increases soil fertility, so maybe you could produce more bio diesel while you are at it.
It is exactly porcelain and convention around virtualenvs, and its benefits are, in brief: simplicity, security, and portability (as in operating systems).

The most useful feature that motivated my switch to it was that it combines the env manager and package manager so users only need to use one tool to specify an environment and a set of packages, and to manipulate those packages. This was extremely useful when getting lots of novice Python programmers to start sharing code/build environments for their projects.

It additionally has a lockfile and hash-based package identification which improves security (if I remember correctly, these things are possible with straight pip/other package managers, but can either be disabled or are disabled by default--but it's been awhile, so I may well be wrong!).

In short, it gives you a slightly more opinionated definition of what a "project" (environment plus packages etc.) is, and in return the tool is much simpler.

This is a much better strategy by Apple, than Microsoft’s strategy against Netscape in the 90’s. Here, Apple charges consumers the market price [1]. Microsoft on the other hand gave away its browser for FREE. Free is better for consumers but it sparked antitrust backlash. Apple just let time play to its distribution advantage.

[1] The $ are the same for consumers but not for Spotify. It loses margin because of the App Store’s high take rate. As a result, Apple Music makes more than Spotify on a per consumer basis, even at the same price

There are funds/financial firms that will fund your options exercise, and take nothing if your common shares go to zero (they take a cut if there is an IPO or other significant liquidity event). Its an equity-backed loan with no recourse.

Appears to be a reasonable option if you have a large amount of options and prefer the cash now vs later.

> All of these deals require approval by the company. Which means you don't get to choose the firm, you get to deal with the firm they approve of.

EDIT: These transactions require no agreement from your company in order to execute.
Usually the common stocks goes at a discount of around close to 15-20percent when compared to preferred for good deals. If the company is not doing well, the discount would be higher proportionally.

Even some of the language the author uses seems to belittle the achievements of the Chinese, and dismiss their railgun repeatedly by instilling the question "but will it work?"

Global Latanoprost Market Professional Survey Report 2018
Latanoprost drops is a clear colorless liquid and a medication used to treat increased pressure inside the eye. Onset of effects is usually within four hours, and they last for up to a day.

Latanoprost is used to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma (open angle type) or other eye diseases (e.g., ocular hypertension). It is similar to a natural chemical in the body (prostaglandin) and works by regulating the flow of fluid within the eye which results in lower pressure. Lowering high pressure inside the eye helps to prevent blindness.

Haa, downvoted for speaking the truth. Got to love it. I am the polar opposite to the statement above (as in V for Vendetta) in philosophy but until the people demand change, why should we force western values onto their thing?

Yeah, I agree. It seems often members aren't aware of the difference or choose to make the distinction.
In general, the contract is phrased as "Work that relates to activities and business that the employer is currently involved in, or may become involved in in the future". So if you work for a large company that has many businesses, almost anything you invent could be related to some area they are involved in. However enforcement is relatively rare.

Yes weird - it was pointed out somewhere elsewhere here and I updated some of my comments but not this one.

It's quite unusual that add gets the 2-uop treatment but inc doesn't. Yes, they treat flags differently, but that's mostly been resolved though flag renaming, and the reg forms of inc don't suffer any penalty.

I'll have to double check if this is true. If it is, compilers should generally be preferring add [mem], 1 then (except perhaps when optimizing for size) - the difference in the flag behavior is pretty much never relevant for compiled code.
