That is reality. If you can't afford something yourself, then you're going to have to have other people pay for it for you, or else you won't get it.
I got the similar result, the thing thing my brain fancied earlier doesn't seem so great after the dopamine falls away.

But, I found that if I persisted with trying to create or refine the earlier idea, very often there was something good to be found, not always directly related. I might just be seeing a different part of the application code from a new perspective by trying to write a new feature using the same libraries, and go in and get a gain where they're used elsewhere.
And for marginally more than the cost of a single orbit, you could stay up there for days or weeks.

It's an opinion, man. How do I see if it passes this test without expressing it?
No, I don't think they can. They can "game" maybe 15 reviews, but I have yet to be scammed by (or even hear of someone being scammed by) someone with thousands of reviews when they're almost all positive. It's kind of absurd to suggest the system is similar to that of craigslist where you generally have no data points whatsoever.
I'm confused too, how do you install the zip file?

Even one of the feedback posts mentions problem solved by "just installing the emulator version".

So I download arm32.zip in, say, firefox, and then what? Open it with PilBox just crashes. Clicking it in a file manager shows me the zip contents. Am I supposed to extract it somewhere? I'm not rooted so can't see the app dirs.
Probably won't happen though.
Thanks! Did not know about this site. Annoying that they convert to PDF.

Any idea how frequently this is published?

This is preposterous. Android is more or less AOSP + Google Play services, and the latter are not free for manufacturers to use. There is a license fee. In addition devices need to pass a compatibility test suite (CTS) for them to be eligible for Google Play services. Similar requirements for using Google Pay.

In my personal opinion Android is abused by Chinese OEMs who want the cheapest free thing they can put together. They buy SoC solutions from Mediatek, Allwinner, etc. and the end user never get OS updates or security patches anyhow. The OEMs need to be forced to support what they have shipped.

I'd offer a different perspective than others here: it really doesn't matter how many kids you have, nor how old they are.

If you ignore the initial 6-12 months (once they get into a regular sleep schedule), the impact for the parents for the rest of the time between 1 to 17 yrs-old is pretty much the same. The dynamics will change as they get older, but you'll still be spending considerable time on the various family activities: playing with them, having breakfast/lunch/dinner, going to the park, teaching new things, commuting to/from school, attending their friends' birthdays on weekends, helping with schoolwork, maybe teaching them how to code :), etc.

On top of that, you'll also need to find time for you and your partner, family, friends, hobbies, reading, etc. Add a full time job, a school that starts starting early morning, a fixed annual vacation calendar, and you pretty much don't have many hours left in the day.

Sure, some activities can be shared with your partner, and some can be delegated (family member, nanny), but the conclusion is still the same: time management becomes a lot more critical once you have kids.

Which then leads me to sleep. In order to dedicate enough time to a restful night of sleep, you'll need to prioritize things much more effectively, so you don't end cutting corners, and changing drastically your sleep patterns.
Sure, but you're arguing a [edit: different] aspect of this than spork12 was.

To try to satisfy both of you: "Hey, everybody, stale2002 bought a Kawasaki tractor instead of a John Deere!" - in a context where people in that community have been recently beaten up for buying the "wrong" kind of tractor. It's not an explicit call to violence, but it is an implicit one.

Note well: This is also not a call to violence. I have no actual information about stale2002's purchasing habits, whether tractors or anything else, nor would I consider it grounds for violence even if I did have such information.

Very difficult. It's due to what I consider a hoarding mentality ("what if we need it later?") and the misconception that there is no cost to keeping it around.

Well on the home page right now ebay is offering a 20% off coupon for products that they don't directly sell, and $100 for $90 in gift cards. Ebay takes a big cut but it's not 20% big, so they're probably losing money to acquire customers through deals.
Those are some good arguments, though from my perspective it seems like it could be simpler.

For one, just like you can't get up early, some of us can't sleep in. Takes no effort for me to build up a habit of waking up early, my body just likes to wake up at 4:30AM. I go to bed relatively early because I'm going to be awake at 4:30AM either way so I might as well try to make a full night of sleep happen.

Other than that, I think there might be a bit of moral judgement going on, but I think it's just that the business day starts at 8:00AM and sleeping past that looks like lazy or luxury. One thing I like about working in tech is that there is less judgement there -- hell, if anything, I get more flack for waking up at the crack of dawn than my coworkers who get into the office at 10:30AM or 11:00. I'm not the only guy who gets into the office early but on my team I'm in the minority.

I totally agree. I have largely abandoned eBay, and I was an early adopter. Their policies are definitely buyer-centric, but the prices frankly are rarely that great, so when I am looking to buy something I can usually find it somewhere else cheaper with less hassle. When I want to sell something, I just put it on Facebook or Craigslist. Not great, but no worse than eBay and less likely to get scammed.
Clever, sending a link to my GF right now.
I wish you shipped to more countries.
At first this will be true, as with many new products. But as hardware and development costs are amortized over time and competitors enter the market, we can expect prices to drop to marginal cost. That could easily be in reach of ordinary people, somewhere in the 5 digits. (I don't believe the $10 million estimate quoted elsewhere below for a second — and the 'analyst' who made it offhand in a quote to a news organization doesn't seem to have backed it up anywhere.)

Kind of, but not quite; the problem with a 2-time pad is key cancellation: c1 ^ c2 = (p1 ^ k) ^ (p2 ^ k) = p1 ^ p2. The xor[0] of two plaintexts is only challenging to cryptanalyze if high-entropy sensitive information happens to line up in just the right way.

0: Technically sum mod 26 or so - xor is sum mod 2 - but the same tricks apply.

You can perhaps get the same effect by riding a U2 spy plane.

The reason it's a "mass layoff" is because that's what the California law requiring notification calls it. Better articles about this news mention facts like EBay's end-of-2017 employee count being 14,100 people.

That's 2%.
I would dispute that. My experience in the hospital side of same field has been that within the framework of the existing healthcare system it's hard to reduce costs without worsening health outcomes. The costs we can cut most easily are staff, services and supplies. Cutting services reduces revenue, nullifying incentives. Trying to deliver the same services with reduced staff and supplies impacts quality.

The jobs that can be cut without reducing quality are the administrative nonsense like dickering back and forth with the insurance company, but those jobs also can't be cut without reducing revenue. It would take a change to the way we pay for healthcare to significantly reduce costs, and/or getting the cost of pharmaceuticals under control. There's a lot of fat in pharma too but that's another conversation.
Yup. PP will freeze your whole transaction without notice if the buyer flags you for any reason without explanation and you can forget arbitration. Good Lucky.

Even the initial price is not far from the credit card limits middle class people with good credit can obtain unsecured. Obviously the interest rate on that would be usurious, but Blue Origin has enough marginal profit margin (and cash) that it could conceivably finance the program at reasonable/zero interest with tolerable risk.

$5 Billion dollar valuation, 70% YOY growth, $580M sales last year, will blow past $1B in sales soon - that's 'crushing it'.

FYI those are market, i.e. public valuations, not fantasy VC hype valuations.

1M users at $30 a month is spectacular at that rate of growth. (Though thats not actually how their revenue model works entirely)

While 'Dropbox', a YC darling: "Dropbox is filing for a $500 million IPO—but also saying it may never be profitable" [1]

"(Shopify) it's growth is driven by the personality cults that made use of Facebook ad networks to convince others that they can make millions dropshipping or printing tshirts."

No, there is quite a lot cost to 'switch over' to another platform, even for small companies, and they have tremendous buy in.

Shopify is basically sucking in the massive long tail and mid-market of companies who don't want to handle so many of those issues - while EBay and Amazon have failed to do that well.

They are in a spectacular position, and if they continue on this trajectory for a couple of years they will not only blow past Dropbox, they will probably eventually leap frog Stripe once the later's actual numbers start to come public.

If anything, YC darlings Stripe and Dropbox are in precarious positions, because both are heavily commoditized markets, and neither of them have a distinct competitive advantage.

You are advocating that the system works for a value of "works" that rises above the hurdles of incentives where the minuscule fraction that trickles down to the patient and where "the way medicine is practiced" is a lucrative enough target for the expensive litigation. If you build software systems like you advocate for course corrections in medical practice, then you'd bin every trouble ticket until it came from a "big enough" customer with a "severe enough" problem. To each their own, but I'm personally in favor of granular, incremental changes that are more manageable and responsive to the market.

Waiting for litigation to change medical practices is no different than ignoring a defect in the design, implementation, and testing phases of software, and letting users find it beat down your door before fixing it. US doctors largely won't even adopt checklists yet, despite proven efficacy. It is unacceptable to have to wait for future litigation to see it adopted in mainstream medical practice.

A note on offline billing, it seems like this is only available for people paying $2.5k/mo and up. I tried to find out more information about it two weeks ago and got this response:

*

Hello Daniel,

I'm <Sales Rep> and you have reached the Google Cloud Platform sales development team. I understand that you're looking for an Invoice Billing.

Prior to applying for monthly invoicing, please review the following minimum requirements to determine if you are eligible to apply. These requirements include, but are not limited to:

1. Being registered as a business for a minimum of one year.

2. Spending a minimum of $2,500 a month for the last 3 months.

You can also look through the Cloud Billing Help Center which should hopefully provide answers to your questions. You can also contact the billing team through the Cloud Console Billing Support Request Form in the event you need more assistance.

Thank you.

I think the main problem is that fraud is real problem and if you don't want your account to ever be considered fraudulent, then you should take ample steps to make sure that it is not.

There are countless stories of people being careless with their keys causing tons of crypto-mining servers to launch.

There is no win for cloud providers here. Either you get PR smashed for charging careless customers, pay tons of money to wave off their mistake, or get ridiculed for trying to block customers whom you think have been hacked.

This is very disappointing to read. It tells a lot of what the behind the scenes must look like.

Also good to see a mention of Sri Lanka in there. It took a network block to finally start seeing some level of response to hate speech reports in this country. I've reported text and video posts where extremist parties are stating that there's a higher race and other races should give way or get out of the country. I've also reported far more threatening foul languaged posts. In almost every case, I've received a batch of "nopes it's ok but thanks for trying. Have you considered blocking this person" type replies. After a while it's exhausting.

The attitude displayed in this post about premature worrying of slippery slopes is a good hint at why this happens.

Denial of certain events is actively harmful in reconciliation activities. Just because people aren't physically harmed, doesn't mean that they aren't harmed at all. Today when considering properties to rent I have to consider communities living around to ensure long term safety. There are businesses which are actively targeted to be boycotted based on the race of the owner.

From a tech company perspective, it's hard that you might alienate or give the impression of being unbiased. For anyone who might be starting a community, please consider the distance to a slippery slope before worrying about it.

Lying is not the same as making a mistake. Suggesting racial dominance is just as bad as advocating for racial harm. Facebook is running a thought experiment that's based on false equivalence. And I imagine the behind the scene discussions are full of "what if" type bike shedding.

As a tech community building products that allow amplifying voices we can and should do better.
Definitely on the firmer side, but it's like four inches of wool, so its got quite a bit of springiness to it.

As far as heat, we're of the opinion that wool is basically the ideal material. It is breathable, but it matches your body temperature and maintains it pretty well. It wicks the moisture away from you really well.

I don't know how exactly to compare it to other mattresses, but we keep our house at ~60F in the winter and we haven't been running AC in the summers, so our house has been up around 90F with high humidity. It is very comfortable across that whole spectrum.

If you've ever had a pair of high quality wool socks, it's kind of like that. They keep you warm in the winter and keep your feet comfortable and dry in the summer.
This is absurd...he was clear the first time and clear the second time. I don’t think he was even close to ambiguous about his position on the holocaust.

However, the real issue is that a company controlled by a single CEO is allowed to make broad social value judgments about what is and is not free speech. Facebook is as close to a public forum as any, and it’s dangerous to assume they will always keep an open semi-libertarian approach to speech.

Glenmorangie and Balvenie, off the top of my head.
You mentioned python: Pick up Flask. It's seriously the most down to earth, "it does what I want it to do" framework for web. Make sure you know how to use SQLAlchemy (Flask's builtin SQLAlchemy is amazing) so you can have a persistent database and just spend some time building pages with forms and populate your pages with forms. Later you can make it look pretty with Bootstrap.

I spent a lot of time opposed to "web apps" being ported as native applications but I've come to realize after doing it myself on a few web based projects that there is no better GUI framework than just writing HTML and using CSS frameworks. It works everywhere the way I want it to.

As for deployment you can consider Heroku. I consider the "ephemeral" approach a bit annoying to work with on the first few tries but when you get the basic idea of how the platform expects your program to look and you get a really nice setup for free.

This is how I've written a few different web apps coming out of highschool where my programming knowledge was limited and I wanted to work on websites and apps. I spent a few tries using obtuse things to write programs in things I was familiar with already but after seeing how easy it is to work with Flask and Jinja2 templates, it's recommendable to people who are new to programming in general.

There are more modernized approaches you can hear from people who work in web dev: going directly into Vue/React and writing your whole web application in Javascript. But I think for a more holistic understanding of just what you are doing (something a lot of crash courses miss) I'd recommend writing your back end in Flask, writing those HTML pages and using templating to show your data on those pages. Then you can beautify, and hit up your preferred deployment option.

Good luck!
