We don't actually have school lunches. The only thing they got usually is that kids can eat vegetables for free. But that is really just for snacking, you need to bring your own lunch box. That is why there isn't that much nutritional standards for our schools, it is more about guides for parents.

Not only do we get the cookbook for parents, but we are also offered free lectures about nutrition and healthy eating for children. That is an offer all first time parents get. So you can go in the evening and listen to a nutritional expert talk about what sort of food is good for children.

I remember the nutritional expert that held a lecture for me was really cool. She said, that to her, there was no bad food. Instead it was about how much you ate of different kinds of foods. She wanted to emphasize the the problem for most people is that they eat the wrong quantities of different types of foods.

E.g. she mentioned how we eat too much red meat, but that we should not cut it out entirely because it contains many useful things such as iron. Eat red meat once or twice a week I think she said.
I haven't read the NREL report, but my father was involved with them for 10 years as an investor. For utility scale, they can use thin-film panels which are more efficient, but more costly upfront (FirstSolar is the big player).
May not qualify as cheap, but I believe 23andMe will tell you about the genes you've got which control your CYP1A2 levels, and predict your coffee intake accordingly.
IANACL, but the language of the US' constitution's first amendment has no such exceptions. The conditionality of the right in the EU convention practically makes it a dead letter, and this is borne by the way EU states play fast and loose with freedom of expression. Comparatively, the right is sacred in the US. Which is part of why most transgressions involve the judicial branch heavily, the exceptions get their own page on Wikipedia.
I'm not saying they are explicitly wrong, but I don't think that's a useful metric. Adoption drives the drivers, not design. That's close to saying Linus was right because Linux is more used than Minix.
As a fellow HNer has pointed out, companies are figuring out that depending on hardware vendors to do the right thing is a bad idea, hence Project Treble. Then again, I have a feeling it won't be too long until they scrap linux altogether.
Not sure I would call this a “false myth”. Obviously most of the time these shocks don’t cause serious injury, but from what I can tell from a quick web search thousands of kids every year end up in the emergency room after sticking stuff in wall sockets or grabbing cords with missing insulation.

Sure though, it would probably be better to let them play with circuits plugged into a non-lethal battery and get a few minor zaps, then explain that connecting a circuit with your body between the two sides of a wall socket could cause severe burns, other serious health problems, or even a fatal cardiac arrest if you are unlucky.

I thought all of this was pretty normal for companies starting to grow.

No, it's not normal at all. It's normal for scam artists and Silicon Valley and used car salesmen. But no, it's now how real businesses start and grow.

Henry Ford, JD Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and Walt Disney didn't go around bragging about "doing blow on naked models."

OK, maybe Rockefeller.
Lately, all this media attention to psychedelics reminds me of this Terence McKenna quote:

"[W]hy this[psychedelics] is not four-inch headlines on every newspaper on the planet I cannot understand because I don’t know what news you were waiting for, but this is the news that I was waiting for. It’s an incredible challenge to human understanding to try and make sense of this."

No free speech is absolute. There are things you can say in the USA which also get you into trouble. That said, I will agree that more speech is free in the USA.
IIRC some combat divers use keto as it reduces the risks associated with rebreathing gear; this should indicate that excellent physical performance is possible while on keto.
The first thing I would mention when talking about C is a hash table. But yes, you are right in general. However, my plan for this summer is to learn Clojure because I believe that learning macros will serve me better right now [1].

Or maybe they aren't needed at all? Most people I know that want a Tesla have wanted one forever and weren't really coerced into it by sales and marketing.
Chaitin is a serious scientist/mathematician who knows what he is talking about, and there is plenty of discussion to other works and references in his own research. And his published work on algorithmic information theory is quite extensive.

He is using the notion of randomness as "uncompressibility", which is a very mainstream view (perhaps better known as Kolmogorov complexity, who is much more well known than Chaitin).

Just because you are not convinced doesn't mean he's a crank, it just means your background in this area is limited.

I would also note that you're reading a popular text, one that is purposefully designed to reach a mass audience, so the lack of formalism is likewise intentional, and not a reflection of crankism. You're welcome to look up his research papers if you'd like to see the difference.
Yeah those are the "not real use cases" I was calling out.

And I am heavily exposed to enterprise blockchain... This kind of half-assed thing doesn't build much of a case in favor of the industry.
It depends on the store. Some only have display shoes, others have display shoes and sized pairs below them. Generally, the more upscale the store (or the more likely goods are to be stolen) the more likely it is that shoes will be kept in back.
I'm no expert, but - from what I've read - Softbank comes in and offers the dominant player a huge amount of money for a bigger chunk of equity than you were expecting to give up. It scares away all of the other investors, who withdraw their offers and leave Softbank as the only offer. If you turn down Softbank, they go to your biggest competitor and make basically the same offer. That amount of cash doesn't guarantee a winner, but it gives one company room for a lot more mistakes, and no other VC will back other players with the same amount of cash.

So, back to your comment - "or both" - my interpretation is that Softbank wants to create an uneven playing field. Whereas, at the seed level, it's ok to spray and pray because expected returns are so much greater.
Perhaps jobs are not the end. Perhaps prosperity is the end, and jobs are occasionally the means to it.

If we lost half of all jobs, but a family could be supported comfortably by a single-breadwinner, would you consider that a net loss, or a net gain?

Or, alternatively, if we had 100% employment, yet all lived in poverty, would that be a better world?

Consider that the Soviet Union had 100% employment. Is that the high water mark for economic success? Why not? Inefficiency is one answer to it. Another was 'Where did the wealth surplus go?' There are others.

Why isn't there more political engagement to change that? Like pass laws to limit corporate influence?

I tried corneal shaping (contact prescription was about -6.0 for both eyes), and stopped it after roughly six months and three different prescribed lenses. I wore the rigid lenses at night while I slept, and took them out in the morning when getting ready for work (6:30-7am).

I experienced some undesirable effects daily: vision sharpness was perfect in the morning, but would noticeably regress starting around 3pm; I saw halos at night; and the combination of progressively more blurry vision and halos made my night vision really suck. I wasn't comfortable driving at night, and seeing stars in the sky was impossible (maybe sounds silly, but I found that to be a quality-of-life issue). Also, I think the area that could be treated was narrower than my field of vision, similar to how glasses treat a narrower field than regular contact lenses.

Turns out my pupils naturally dilate far more than the average person's (so the halos were partially treatable with brimonidine daily), and my cornea either isn't thick enough or reshapes itself too quickly -- or both, can't remember exactly. Whatever it was, I remember my doctor saying that I would probably experience similar undesirable side effects were I to get Lasik.
> I know plenty of only children who have never wanted a sibling and plenty of folk who are largely indifferent to their siblings.

Then there are siblings who are a literal burden on their families. Some people just use others and walk all over everyone. Someone in my extended family tried to burglarize the home of someone else in the family. That’s not someone I want in my family.
This is okay. Sometimes it's all you can manage. Honestly I've been going through a bout of something for about a year.

I'm fully functional 5 days a week at work but not when I am home and not on the weekends. At the moment, my apartment is a mess. I keep saying I'll get to it and at some point I will.

The thing that I had to learn to do was to not punish myself for failing to meet my own expectations. It isn't helpful.

That gives every terminating decimal or binary number.
For example, you will never list 1/3, or pi or sqrt(2).

To see why you cannot generate every possible real number as a list, look up cantors diagonal argument.
His twitter says he originally generated them in 2009-2010 to submit packages to the aur. So he's probably in the clear.
Spanish football league defends phone 'spying'
Totally agree. I go the work with my bike, it's good for mental and physic health. When I go back to my home - and if I don't have extra-urgent work, then I shutdown my laptop, my mobile phone, and enjoy the evening with my wife or with some quiet reading as story (not too technical stuffs to have good nights). Yes, of course, take breath and sleep as much as possible.

Flex allows bigger instance sizes, VPC access, custom base docker images with custom binaries. Generally, it's a bit more flexible. :)
I have no idea what your background is, but my understanding is exactly opposite of yours. You are shoehorning people who think something very different from what you think into the framework of how you think people should think about it.

The first "pure existence proof" by contradiction was due to David Hilbert in 1888. The now-named Hilbert Basis Theorem resolved a famous problem introduced by Paul Gordan. Paul Gordan's famous response was, "Das ist nicht Mathematik. Das ist Theologie." (That is not Mathematics. That is Theology.)

In the debates that followed in subsequent decades, the question was whether or not we could sensibly talk about the existence of something we have no way to find or verify. Brouwer wasn't just making a subtle point in the 1920s that is palatable to modern mathematicians. He was rejecting the symbol game that was Hilbert's Formalism as meaningless nonsense.

Brouwer's school lost. So it is true that any Constructivist today does have to present a weakened form in public that fits your description. But historically they meant exactly what they said. And what they said is that proving that there is an unfindable contradiction in an infinite set is not an acceptable proof of existence. And what they believed was that allowing such unsound reasoning methods would lead to contradictions. (This belief has since been disproven, but in the 1920s nobody can be faulted for having been genuinely concerned about it.)

To gain a better understanding of the times, I would recommend two books. The first is Hilbert! by Constance Reid. It is a biography of David Hilbert, and does a surprisingly good job of describing the fundamental epistemological issues that lead him to Formalism. The other is The Mathematical Experience by Davis and Hersch.
Yeah because every country with unions is automatically civilized and gets all these things.

Cross-task improvements refers to improvements carrying over beyond the practiced task.

For example, if I run every day, did I just get better at running or will I see improvements in my swimming, biking, and skiing?

A HUGE concern with memory training of any sort is that you only tend to get better at the task you train on, i.e. memorizing cards. Cross-task improvements would be being able to memorize a phone number more reliably.

A far cross-task improvement would be improved IQ.
They can't keep up with demand and their sales look like this over time:

How is 4x growth in three fiscal years anything other than running hot?
I guess your idea is to have an ultimate veto power to revert any decision. So it's a centralized service that can run in a traditional database instead of a blockchain.

What will you do in polemic cases? For example, some people think that La Gioconda is own by the Italian people and should be returned to Italy (because Leonardo was Italian). What would you do if there is a huge campaign to claim that it is owned by some Italian museum? What about the Tutankhamen mummy? Alaska?
My biggest challenge to my mental heath was an undiagnosed personality disorder (BPD), sex addiction, and coming to terms with childhood trauma I was largely in denial about. All the exercise and diet and medication in the world will not help you if you have buried trauma (which many of us do). I couldn't even accomplish those external things on a regular basis because my internal emotional system was so blocked up.

Be brave and do the healing work. Whether that is through spirituality, religion or mental health professional. Our society is badly in need of healing and it starts with each individual. It's a long (seemingly never-ending) process but it's worth it and you get quality of life improvements all along the way.
Thanks for answering! I am very interested in prospect Blockchain solutions.

> the core of it is that all participants in the network are incentivized to only submit true information

How is this done? What is the incentive?
Sure is weird how much he's buddying up with all these authoritarian governments.
Yes, precisely this. Taken from a cynical perspective it appears that many people are making large personal sacrifices to bid-up the prices of real estate held by rich urban landowners, as well as to fund the welfare state.

With respect to real estate, I would suggest that the government at least stop pouring fuel on the fire. End all real estate tax subsidies, including mortgage interest tax deductions. End all government real estate loan guarantees. End any favorable tax treatment of real estate as an asset.

On the supply side, the government should greatly curtail restrictions on property development. I think some concern about the quality of housing is justified, but nearly all zoning should be eliminated.
It is the usual snark that dominates any discussion of Tesla. There's so much snark in these threads, it becomes hard to detect.
I disagree, I don't think anyone can contribute meaningfully in 3 months. I think a one year cliff is perfectly reasonable for a startup. We will agree to disagree, but I don't think any startup will agree with you, it rewards people who stick around for too short a period of time and makes their cap table much harder to maintain.
If we're going with the theory that things with a wavelength shorter than the Planck length don't exist then the sampling theorem should allow us to describe the universe with a discrete set of points.

General relativity complicates things (as usual) but the sampling theorem can be generalised to non-uniform samples so it should probably still work somehow.

In both cases this discrete theory is equivalent to a theory based on real numbers though, so in that sense there's not really any way to say which is better.
> Are you actually arguing that workers were not oppressed in the US during the industrial Revolution?

Compared to the manual subsistence farm labor they were doing before, you mean?

Rural workers flocked to the new factories because it was better than what they had before. You see the exact same process playing out in China right now.

Most of the Amazon warehouses are located in semi-rural areas that didn't have available jobs of any sort before.
The best marketing is the one you don’t realise.
It's counter-intuitive, but your algorithm actually only generate a subset of the rational numbers. That's because all of your numbers have a finite number of decimal digits. Most reals, like 1/3 or pi, will never appear in your list. (Though numbers close to them will.)

Most reals don't have a generating algorithm, since there is an uncountable number of reals, but only a countable number of algorithms. (Assuming an algorithm has to be a finite length program.)
That contention does not match my understanding, but I would love to read more if you have some published studies to point to.

Taking the claim at face value: if the effect at one month is entirely placebo, isn't that still useful for treatment?

(You're not trying to claim that the entire effect on day 1 is placebo, right? I think that's pretty clearly false.)
Typically managed wifi involves both remote administration of the router(s), and phone support. Having the remote access means that the user can just pick up the phone and describe the problem, and the technician can solve it remotely, or with a little assistance from the user "try moving the router over near the door". I assume that they are doing this as well.
"running hot" seems like an ambiguous metaphor in this case. It could mean "they're doing very well", but could also mean "in imminent danger of failure", as in a CPU or overworked engine. The latter might be what the parent meant.

Or maybe they didn't, and their choice of words is unintentionally amusing and ironic.
It only supports Node v8 (which sounds like an upside to me). The main difference is that you can't customize the run time image.
We dry-age our own beef at home (usually buying a whole prime ribeye for the purpose).

We found that the bulk of the flavor change happens in the fat, and that we have a LOT of fat trim left over after cutting down from the whole to steaks (usually about 5+lbs of fat after trimming down and cutting steaks). So, what we do is save all of the trimmed fat, then grind it with cheaper/leaner meat (game, etc.) to make amazing burgers and sausages.

I haven't found that the flavor of a 100% dry-aged beef burger vs. one w/ up to 20% dry-aged fat is night-and-day different. Not to mention, this lets us use pretty much everything -- the bones make stock, so we have at best about 1/2lb of real "waste" after DA'ing a ribeye, which is mostly the crusty outer edge.

We did a taste test w/ fresh brisket trimmed to 10%, then added 15% DA fat vs. 30-day DA brisket burgers (trimmed to 25%), and only about half the people who tried it could tell a difference.
I don't do web stuff much at all. But when I think about it from a embedded view point what people do seems all wrong. You almost want the ability to fire off a thread in a language that just does immutable stack allocation. It's a hard constraint, but it'd be fast and easy to debug. Get rid of mutable data, get rid of persistent state and heap allocation.
Maven/pip is still a good excuse. I don't want to wait x months until a new release of some library lands in Debian repos.

Portability – not so much, but then it saves you so much headache because switching from 16.04 to 18.04 should not break anything in your system.
They've got $10 billion in debt, and have benefited from about $6 billion in various subsidies, incentives and tax breaks. It works out to about $40k per car shipped.

I think of Tesla not so much as a business than as a charitable religious nonprofit that relies on donations to assist the disadvantaged in acquiring luxury automobiles. Never underestimate the power of belief.
In other words, Tesla is being approximately, literally decimated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimation_(Roman_army)
Or, "Go" but pronounced "Jo" for Generics.
I think humans have a natural desire to be connected. I think "FOMO" is driving people to be over-connected to the wrong things. I dated a girl whom often had 100s of news notifications on her phone's lock screen. That was overwhelming for me to see out of the corner of my eye.

Additionally, we are always "feeding". We are getting sick from over-indulging.

My friend group is starting to coordinate board game nights. Also good old fashion gatherings, and just making a point to be present as much as possible.

I find myself using a phone as a digital communication device as much as possible, where I think for a lot of people it's become a digital consumption device.
It's been around for more than 4 years.
Spending tons more than you make and not having savings is traditionally called financial trouble. Even after a recent huge rally their most recently issued bonds are yielding 7% which means lots of real people think they are a risk.

Lots of customers is good, but the more cars they have made the more money they have lost. Negative operating leverage is really bad for any company, but especially one as cash intensive as manufacturing vehicles.

I'm rooting for them, but Tesla is indeed in serious financial trouble. Just ask Elon who fired 3,500 people so he could make the books look nicer.
That is just sad. I think it is for good reason here in Norway that companies can not contribute to school funding. They try to keep private money out of schools, so that you don't end up with A and B schools because some parents are richer than others.

I think the corporate sponsorship you talk about here also means that the pressure to fund schools properly through taxes are taken away. It gets too easy to avoid taxes by getting others to pay.
This is wildly speculative, as expected. Some mice grew dendrites. That doesn't mean anything about humans and doesn't come close to meaning anything about depression. It's not that simple.
"Given that Tesla has never made an annual profit in the almost 15 years since we have existed, profit is obviously not what motivates us."

So they’re not a profitable business, and not a charity. What are they exactly?
