If people are saying Jewish humor and culture is something genetic, then that's racist. But Jewishness is a culture in addition to ethnicity. Jewish humor is an aspect of it, much like forms of humor in other cultures. Comparing styles of humor across cultures is perfectly fine.
Then the people who didn't pay would feel as second-class citizens who can be scrutinized, analyzed, and their profiles sold. That awareness would be deadly for Facebook, because not enough people would be willing to pay.
It does make different predictions though. WMI essentially says there is only unitary evolution and nothing like a physical collapse. That means everything unitary evolution predicts will happen, unlike other "interpretations".

This matters in at least two cases:

(1) In a finite system (perhaps our universe, but doubtful), those other worlds will eventually come back into contact. They never go away and with only a finite number of states available, the splitting of worlds can't continue forever.

(2) From a subjective perspective, there is always a future version of yourself in some "branch". Since you will become all future versions, you are subjectively immortal.
Yep, and the comments are hilarious - worth a look just for the comedy value.

"Repeatable successes"?

If that's your standard then why is Gates on the list? Hasn't he only had one success?

By comparison, Jim Clark founded Silicon Graphics (max market cap of $7 billion dollars in 1995), Netscape (bought by AOL for a stock-swap of $10 billion), and Healtheon (Healtheon/WebMD had a market cap of more than $15 billion at its peak).

Markkula provided angel investment because the Valentine didn't want to provide VC funding.

Don't VCs look exactly for someone like the early Gates? That is, 20-year-old white males from rich, well-educated families, who go to prestigious colleges?

I don't think Microsoft ever needed external funding.
Rich nations tend to overthink primary education (it's a little different post-secondary).

Unmet education goals are blamed on quality of the building, local funding, teachers, school-boards, politicians, standardized tests, etc. Reality is you don't need iPads, you don't need graphical calculators, or slick modern buildings and pristine books. You just need parents that care. If a kid graduates from primary or secondary school and is functionally illiterate, it was the parents that failed them, not teachers, not the school, not the country.
Forgot to add we got a no/no sticker on door for folders/flyers or unsolicited mail. In NL you can pick these up for free at the municipal building. We got it for 3 reasons: 1) we never read any of that 2) its an environmental waste 3) IF (I don't, but lets pretend) I want to see such: in 2018 digital, not physical.

>"It's not straight-up counterfeiting, since they own up to not being Chromecast, [...]"

I'm certain it doesn't work that way in the UK.

Small suppliers get _all_ their product confiscated in raids by Trading Standards when they sell knock-off Nike, or whatever.

Everyone knows it's knock-off (counterfeit, branded sports wear, like trainers and tracksuits). The sellers don't get let off for admitting it's fake; sometimes they go to prison, always they have goods confiscated.

http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8034060.Counterfe...

This seems analogous to the Amazon situation.

By rule of law Amazon warehouses should be shut by the police until all inventory that's counterfeit can be removed by Trading Standards. Presumably they lack resources to effectively police traders larger than market stalls.
I don't think your definition of racism is correct; in modern parlance, racism often includes ethnicity (not to mention that we cannot objectively, based on genetics, define race). Chauvinism would be a more fitting term, anyway.

> Comparing styles of humor across cultures is perfectly fine.

I also take issue with this. Humor reflects culture, and if you compare different cultures, aren't you stereotyping?

FWIW Google are equally petty here. They blocked the YouTube app on my Android device because it's branded with an Amazon owned brand (FireTV).

Presumably if I had more control I could rewrite the UA and Google would not punish me because they're having a tantrum over Amazon.
I did this many years ago with black socks and just had the unsorted drawer of socks. But unfortunately black doesn't go with everything, in particular it doesn't go with brown and it doesn't work at all with shorts.

Since I wear both black and brown shoes, I find myself needing at least navy, black and white socks. The system then began to fall apart as I would then allow maroon socks to go with red shirts. Maybe I should start again with those four colours. It should still be easy to find them in an unsorted drawer.

Missed that part. You're correct.
A company I used to work for had a nasty, hard to diagnose outage the other week - bad enough to publically announce and grovel ( I keep an eye on them). I believe, without access to any current technical detail is that they slavishly use sequence keys everywhere - so no real foreign keys. This in turn has caused them to massively over rely on elastic search, which with a bit of growth caused their queue infrastructure to get swamped and thus a big performance problem.

I realised the writing was on the wall there for me when I mentioned how useful proper (compound) foreign keys were and my comment was treated with derision. Of course now I work somewhere with a more properly designed database, and win having to cope with Oracle instead.
I have noticed that "I built X <in current popular language>" typically gets way more upvotes than "I built X"...
No, I love the convenience! I'm just using it as an example of how we continue to automate away human interaction.

Maybe that's fine. But spend time in Africa or South East Asia where you can't help but interact with people every day (just walking through a city like Bangkok makes you feel alive) and it feels clinical and cold by comparison.
Google Express. A while ago they dropped all integration of Google’s voice assistant with other ways of maintaining a shopping list, and instead it adds those now to Google express, even if that’s not available in your country.
To be honest, a computer is not that important. I would be graduating out of high school this year and my school still don't have any computers, doubt they will anytime soon. By no means, my education has suffered due to that reason. Computers are easy to pick up, most people have had fiddled with a phone at least and from there, computers are no big deal. I received my first computer just last April and I have already learned to code(more or less, still needs years of polishing). I am not trying to belittle the work of this teacher and he is awesome, but I think instead of trying to send them computers, initiatives should be taken to build a proper infrastructure first. Without proper infrastructure, no matter how many computers you send, very few will benefit from it.
Work Is a Thing You Do, Not a Place You Go – HackerHouse #2, Destination Bali
I've done this with most of my clothes. I was a little worried people would comment about me wearing the same thing every day, but in five months of wearing identical blue shirts and brown slacks, nobody has said anything negative about it. I missed that aspect of the military, but it seems any job can be a uniformed job if you're not a fashion idol.
Do you have any evidence to support this? What's the usage in kWh per run and the cost of detergent?

On the highest setting mine will get through plates that have been sitting around for a week (don't judge). That costs me one run and one tablet of detergent. You're suggesting running it on the lowest setting 5-10x as often and using 5-10x the amount of detergent.

The cost in time loading and emptying seems to be equal no matter how often you run it.

To me, this thinking seems like a sure way to get an unmaintanable mess. Now, just polishing a codebase forever without adding any features obviously isn't a valuable way to spend time. But the difference between changing one value in one configuration struct and it having no unforseen side effects and having to go trough multiple classes and reasoning about possible thread races etc. Can make a huge difference in feature adding time. However, how do we measure this?

If all features were equal, like widget production, we'd definitely be able to prove or disprove the productivity boost, but I haven't ever worked in a context where this is the case. There's no guarantee that feature implementation time will go down, maybe it did just not go up as much as it would otherwise, maybe people manage to make more useful features in the future, or at least not as much less useful as they would have been (we would expect utility/feature to go down as a system matures)

When I worked in a two-person team it was easier, of course, the time I spent on improving the code base I soon got back when I had to implement new functionality on a short deadline, this reflected well on me in performance reviews. The problem in a larger team is that it might be someone else who is able to implement a feature quickly due to my improvements.

My guess is that we should be lucky that there are guys like the OP who naively spend time on "low impact" code improvements even though they might not reap the rewards. Without them we would only have people doing the bare minimum to implement new features with a big ball of spaghetti as a result, where projects are abandoned just because no one is willing to maintain them any more. (does this sound like some company we know?)

I guess what I'm describing is that we might end up with a prisoners dilemma situation, where optimising for short term measurability represents defection.

How old are your children? Get them started helping out around the house as soon as possible. I highly recommend finding a Parenting the Love and Logic Way course near you and taking it. It's been a life changer for me. Less stress at home, children listen, help, and solve problems at home.

P.S. 3-4 years old is a good time to start them helping around the house. They can't do a ton at that age but every like bit helps. Macro effect of many micro optimizations.

In the US at least it is quite fashionable to be espouse vaguely anti-white sentiments. The double standard in this regard irritates me to no end. Most people would not be OK with this were the races in question swapped.
I have a tendency to put things down in stupid places and just leave them there. Over time the clutter builds up which means eventually I'll have to spend time sorting it out and I also can't necessarily find things when I need them.

My "brain hack" for this is to instil a habit: whenever I put something down I ask myself "is this where I want this object to be forever?" The answer is usually no, so I put in a place I'm happy for it to stay forever.

No, I didn't mean more discreet than to say that they were discriminating by gender or race; I've worked at a big 4 company in the Bay and they barely even managed to maintain plausible deniability about racism and sexism in their hiring policies.

Then we started including our kids in the weekly cleaning. We don't give them money "for nothing" so they see this as a chance to earn some income instead of a chore. Now everyone does their part and noone is feeling like it's a giant deal.
Book Cheap Minicab in London – Cabhit
It seems to me that the two-dishwasher setup only work if you only have a small, consistent set of tableware, and you use it at a consistent rate (you use close to the entire contents of the dishwasher before you need any of the dirties again, otherwise you'll still be emptying and putting things away). But emptying a dishwasher load of consistent plates and bowls is very quick, so it seems to me like you can you can get 80% of the benefit of the two-dishwasher setup simply by rationalising your tableware for consistency and easy unloading and storage (have everything in the same cabinet right next to or above the dishwasher).

If you have five cabinets full of a myriad of variations of bowls, trays, plates, cups, glasses, widgets, pots and pans that you use at uneven rates, even two dishwashers won't be very helpful.
From a cursory look it seems it costs in electricity 1.5kWh for a single load of dishes on my dishwasher.

at my current rates that's 30p per run in electricity, 32.5p for the dishwasher tablet (26gbp/80 tablets). So 62.5p per load.

1.25gbp per day

(1.25*365)/12 =

Before you leave a room, look around for things that should be in the room you are moving to and take them with you. Could be rubbish for the bin, clothes for the laundry, dishes for the kitchen, books for the office, etc.

If you get in the habit of doing this every time, even as new items are shifted from where they belong, the house quickly "rebounds" to a more consistent and predictable state.
+1 for that.

Last year we started to pay for cleaning / washing / ironing and it saves a lot of time - like 6 hours a week to get all done.

Also, doing groceries the right way is important. What we ended up doing:

- everything non perishable or long time (water etc), buy a lot and put in the basement

- what you can, buy through Amazon subscriptions for a regular delivery

- once a week, do the short term groceries - veggies, fruits, meat. We do it with kids on a farm where you can harvest your own food. It's actually a great activity !

As the last one, maybe a bit controversial, but I almost never repair stuff anymore. If it's something cheap and I would need to spend an hour or two to repair it, I just throw out and buy a new one. I may would like to have more time to do those things (sometimes I still do when it's to show the kids something interesting), but overall this attitude is a huge time saver.

At some point, if your earnings are enough, you just have to put time before money.

Yeah and it's really silly. Outer wear shouldn't be washed very often. Shirts should be washed when they are actually dirty which is either because you had an accident or dirt around the cuffs and collar has built up. They are expensive and washing damages them. There's no reason why shirts shouldn't last ten years or more. I was my shirts only a few times a year. My suits less than once a year.

I wear under-shirts for this very reason. Sweat and oil from my skin will be absorbed by the under-shirt. These are cheap garments that are never meant to be seen so you can safely wash them after every use. Grey or skin colour is the best colour for an undershirt. White is fine unless you wear a white shirt. It should be a t-shirt rather than a vest (so it covers the armpits) but it's essential that it's a V-neck shirt so that it's not visible when your collar is open (your underwear should never be visible).
