Doubly baffling when considered that the revolutionary trio of iPod, iPhone and iPad look, with eyes crossed and no glasses, remarkably like 3x sizes of a single product and at one point you could represent most of their profits with one small table of products. Apple isn't known for diversity.

If the defining feature of cars is engine or physical design, Apple doesn't have a chance; it isn't like traditional industrial companies don't have smart and talented engineers - the Apple of cars already happened with Toyota and their inspired manufacturing process. Apple does have a chance if software is the hardest part of designing the car of the future. In a world where Apple fields a good all-round car with great software, and the software notably improves the driving experience in a difficult-to-mimic fashion, then maybe Apple can find a margin.

It is an ambitious play. If they can't differentiate themselves with software it isn't going to be a winner for them. But if they can, it would fit very well with the Apple model of entering a market that was understood to be mature and demonstrating massive profits for well-designed software/hardware combinations. Driving cars in 2018 is like 20c/texts when using the phones of 2006 - if that chore went away, we wouldn't miss it.

I think there is something misleading about comparing high cuisine with middling cuisine. Like when people compare French and British cuisine: the former developed as the cuisine of kings in the 16-17th century and then kind of trickled down to expensive restaurants, while the latter developed during the industrial revolution and was something that every salaried man could afford to eat at home.

A similar story happened with communist cuisine: as a matter of fact most people were not eating that well before WWII, and for them communist cuisine was definitely an improvement. The majority of the population could not afford restaurants anyway.

If you're interested in this kind of topics there is "Cuisine and Empire", by Rachel Laudan (that's where I took most of the ideas).
Need for high margin cryptonative service
Yes, but sending a human scuba diver down 3h/day to catch max 20kg of lionfish for $50-100 on loaded cost per dive, or $150-300/day is...not an efficient solution for that. If the fish could be sold at enough of a premium it might defray some of those costs, but for animal feed you'd be about $0.50/kg.
Correct me if I'm wrong in understanding your wish but I believe the answer to your prayers is: rails!

It ships with webpacker and can generate a scaffolded React, Vue, or whatever-you-want app.

I've watched Friends last year for the first time in my life and it was shocking to me, among other 90s things, how everyone is dating left and right, one after another as if they were in a race or something. I don't know your social circle but in mine, currently it's quite the opposite. I observe that less and less people go out/date/interact with each other socially, which is sad.
How many non founders do you have?
I thought they were, for the most part, fairly logical extensions to SQL.

We use them extensively in production and haven't had much difficulty learning them.
What's wrong with 10 companies working together to try 10 different things, then eliminate the poorer performing ones, increasing resources on the better ones, until there's 1 winner they've all agreed on?

Seems a lot more logical than 10 companies working on 10 things where 8 doing the exact same thing and wasting 8x the resources.

Also, cargo entering US is being subject to more rigorous checks for customs control. Almost all of clients report their merchandise stuck in the customs and one had his shipment seized.
I too do 16:8 and am in my 50s. I'm losing moderate amount of weight, but probably because it has made me think about evening snacking. As with you, it's low risk, not a particular problem for me to carry out and cost neutral at worst.

The only problem is I tend to feel drowsy after lunch at work :)
I finished my PBR Software 3D Renderer  a list of sources and references
Imo Rails is currently the fastets most conevenient framework to develop in because of its comprehensiveness and maturity. But what I'm looking for is something more radical [copying my comment below] where the frontend and the backend is more integrated. The way it's done now data structures are duplicated. Of course this has to do with how things are done with REST over HTTP. Meteor actually implemented their own websocket protocol -- it's ideas like that I'm looking for.
Of course you risk making monoliths with this approach, but like I said I'm primarily looking for something that makes it easy for solo developers or small teams.
I feel like what you're asking is borderline to a dumb question. Because yes, it is obvious that someone who can contribute a (meaningful) patch to working code is qualified. At least skip the FizzBuzz tests.

Can you elaborate on the last behavior, that " ah today works very differently from al"? How do they differ? I hadn't heard this before.
What are the extreme circumstances there? That the Democrat was a Southerner? So were Clinton and Gore.

That Ford was closely associated with Nixon and had pardoned him? Why would the South have cared more about that than the rest of the country? Despite the pardon, Ford won 27 states, including California, and 48% of the popular vote.

In 68 much of the South voted for Wallace, a Democrat running as an independent, and Texas voted for the Democrat ticket. In 72 every state save MA and DC voted for Nixon, so the South doesn't stand out there. Then in 76 the South voted for the Democrat, Carter.

It's not until Reagan that we see the South reliably voting Republican.

I keep thinking along these lines. Like Friday night run and beer. You do a 5k run and then you all get a beer and you can bond over the run.
For new tools and commands, sure, but most notable Linux utilities are mature and stable, with very few syntactic changes - so many production scripts already rely on syntax remaining static that changing it would break far more than the suggested tool.
>Just curious: what are negative connotations of "female"? I'm not a native speaker.

I am, and I'm not aware of any. But if there are, they probably grew out of the weird taboos that, in some segments of English-speaking culture, tightly control what terms one is permitted to use when speaking about gender-related issues. Most of us, fortunately, don't consider ourselves bound by these taboos.
I agree. I was fortunate to be in an area and group where that sort of dating was still alive; I didn't end up marrying any of those people in that area, but I learned _a_lot_ about people; how they think, what kinds of people there are, a lot about interacting with members of the opposite sex, gained a lot of confidence in just being around people and making social requests. I think it is invaluable experience for understanding people.
Based on the following benchmarks, Laravel is slower than Rails. But still, both frameworks are much slower than .net/java/erlang based frameworks.

No, that's you moving the goalpost. I answered your question.

I did what again? I explained how "nothing" is not what would happen.

This might seem lazy, but I discovered in another answer here that somebody made this point already way better than I ever could: https://qntm.org/abolish.

Anything that is difficult right now due to time zones will stay difficult. It is difficult because of humans and their desire for daylight. You always need two time systems: One that represents local usage of time and one mostly for machines. We already have that.
Many people in northern countries or parts of countries farther north like using DST. It was noted some parts of Scotland wouldn't otherwise see daylight until 10am.

I'm in Canada at about 46 degrees latitude and it's quite dark here in the morning in winter once DST ends in November (it used to end in October). London and Glasgow are 51 and 55 respectively so their much worse than my region.

How can one grownup ask another if they remember where they were born? That whole thing sounds like a Monty Python sketch or something. It is just bizarre.
It's all about the moment you're standing in the phone store and there's two phones in front of you, one from "LG" and the other from "Hyvver7" and like 99% of other people you're probably going to get the "LG" phone even if the Hyvver7 phone has a similar price and seems to work just as well after poking at it for a few minutes.

The reason you know the name "LG" isn't because you somehow heard the name through a complex series of coincidental events... instead, it's because LG spends money in a way that directly or indirectly imprints their brand in your mind.
Company may very well not have a choice. A couple of weeks ago a customer requested Oracle instead of MS SQL - now somebody is looking into all places checking if SQL is good enough.

To me the saying "ORM is a Vietnam of computer science" rings true too often. Somehow projects which I deal with don't really benefit from ORM... so I could live completely with SQL alone.
Same. I see moms sitting in cars when near their kids at the bus stop. It's freaking ridiculous.

If the kids started walking or playing in those trails, I bet some adult would start coming along to supervise. Probably make the kids sign up for an outdoor camp or scouts instead.
> Western sanctions against Russia

This is incorrect. These food bans are Russian sanctions against western countries "in response" to Western sanctions against Russian oligarchs.
Organizing for Your Ethical Principles
> know which game you want to be playing, and ignore advice from people who are playing a different game

I think ignore is too strong of a word. A lot of good ideas in the world came about from cross-pollination between two or more different domains or disciplines. Inspiration can come from anywhere, if you seek new information from all sorts of places and try plugging it into your own field of expertise.

I think that could apply here too. Even though they're playing a different game than you are, you might be able to find something useful in it that you can incorporate into your game. But you shouldn't copy+paste their advice into your game. Experiment with some of it, include bits of it that appeal to you, and leave out the rest.
Because everyone knows GUIs provide no increase in usability and efficiency, especially to those who use the tool infrequently.

>>And Phoenix would be the Rails to Erlang's Ruby (Elixir). The learning curve is steep, you will need to learn OTP. Which is probably why adoption lags.

You don't need to learn OTP to become productive in Elixir/Phoenix. It's abstracted away from you, but also gives you the ability to dive in if you want/need.
Sleep and exercise are king?
But it depends on your location, your latitude. The farther south you go towards the equator the less of an effect DST has on daily life.
Why is it fair to ask that? Tech companies are not people.
>so because you don't see the obvious problem with being stuck on a single version of anything forever, webpack, representing progress in this case, is bad?

In fact, the parent does see (and called) that "obvious problem with being stuck on a single version of anything forever".

That's why he doesn't cheer for the band-aid solution that's webpack and doesn't thing it "represents progress".

And would have been just as correct.

Of course today people understand this better and distrust ORMs increasingly more, whereas back 10-15 years ago then it was the heyday of enterprise Java and all the ORM craziness.

At least we're also over the NoSQL fad too...
Not sure I understand this. The circuit for addition is easier than the circuitry for multiplication.

That said, in circuits, it is far less likely to ever multiply that large of a matrix. Even if I were correct that many steps of large training can be cast as a matrix multiply.
Ah! Thanks. I imagined an intentional mix for some reason.
This is kind out of scope, but ever since Deus Ex (the game), I have wondered what the big deal about Aquinas is. Never found his work all that interesting.
SQL reasonably standardized? You can't even write hello world without running into vendor differences. Microsoft has SELECT TOP FROM, while Mysql has SELECT FROM LIMIT.
You might be interested to look at Drab in the Elixir / Phoenix ecosystem. It takes advantage of the lightning fast view layer of Phoenix as well as Phoenix Channels to manage everything.

Approaching 1.0 it’s the most unique approach to the problem I’ve seen.
It seems obvious that screen addiction is mostly responsible. Take cigarettes as an analogy- it took decades for everyone to admit they kill you. The fact that so many people immediately recognize the screen problem is huge, and the rest are behaving like addicts who need intervention.
That's assuming the impact of this change only applies to the raw CO2 transfer. But there's material research which can apply in other places, there's pressure on other known companies, etc. Even if it's a marketing push, the fact that people may see that some companies try to reduce reliance on wasteful production and start looking at other products they buy is a positive thing.

We probably can't predict right now if Lego can have a bigger impact on the world by trying to offset the current emission from other companies, or by being public about adjusting their prices. Pure production numbers give us only part of the answer.
I understood your SQL example but I don't understand your counter example.
There's no indication in this short write up if they also surveyed how often people get out. I think it'd be a likely hypothesis that people today do hang out more with friends, simply because it is easier.

Remember the 90s? You're waiting in a parking lot to go caving. "Where's Will?" "I don't know." "Call his house, there's a payphone over there." "His mom said he left 30 minutes ago." "Well I guess we'll just wait for him."

Today we can use speech-to-text to quickly tell people we're running late, organize impromptu outings very quickly and probably end up hanging out more. Even those with families and kids probably find it easier to organize events with other families thanks to shared group chats.

I wouldn't be surprised if these two things aren't really correlated and part of me wonders if our interaction may have gone up and our loneliness also gone down. If that's true, it could be more of an indication of us not _really_ talking to one another. Maybe there is less we can say today, or there are other factors that, in the age of acceptance and commodified outrage, make use feel more isolated.

A find thought, another really big factor should be online dating (Tinder, OKCupid, Grinder, POF, etc). Are people romantically lonely? Do average individuals have a harder time now that everything has been reduced to an image? I personally have observed that online dating really only works for attractive people, and for everyone else it's pretty much a wasteland.
But can't you typically do the activation as a separate step? Where you first incorporate all of the inputs, then decide activation?
Tell me about your experience in publishing. How many publications have you run?
Agree. You don’t need to learn OTP to use Phoenix anymore than you need to learn the entire Java ecosystem to use Kotlin.

Erlang has been around for 30+ years...there’s a lot. Doesn’t mean you need to use it all.
It's very subtle. "Females" is a term used for women in some of the seedier corners of the internet. It implies grouping women with female animals rather than grouping them together with men as human beings.
Thx for sharing these insights. The 'cheap look' of the donation request letters feels to me comparable to those bio-produce where they leave/add some soil on the carrots and potatoes, or the IT startups that love an unfinished industrial look to their office as if they are squatting the place.

Probably for many in the targeted audience the feel of 'authenticity' is important, even when it is manufactured.
> Did not freakanomics come up with a famous (and to me more convincing) argument that it legalized abortion was the reason for the drop in crime? At they very least it dispels the arguments we don't have a better explanation and doesn't even mention it.

It isn't a better one than lead. It was one of many correlated events. It was an interesting theory when it came out, but I don't think anyone takes the abortion argument seriously today since both abortion rates and crime rates have fallen together for nearly 40 years. Even when freakonomics came out, I remember my economics professor saying it was used to sell books.

Also, if the freakonomics theory was valid, the legalization and widespread use of birth control ( which prevented far more pregnancies and births ), not abortion, should be getting the credit. You are comparing an ocean ( birth control ) with a small pond ( abortion ).

The abortion theory is pretty much debunked now. That's why you don't hear about it anymore.

It's most likely a confluence of events that has led to drop in crime rates. Birth control, less lead, more TV/internet/etc, longer education period and changes in the law or prosecutions. At the end of the day, nobody really knows what caused the decline in crime for certain. Abortion sells a lot of books and gets a lot of media support/press, but the continuing decline of both abortion rates and crime rates seems to indicate that abortion isn't the cause.
My take on Friends gets more reactionary the older I get. I now see it as very much a part of the Sexual Revolution: the drive to normalise dating and casual sex. On the one hand the friends treat sex as no big deal, plenty of humour, no judgement, etc. Just occasionally rationalising it as part of a necessary quest to find a husband or wife. On the other hand you notice from a distance that their whole lives revolve around sex. So it is a big deal, de facto, and of course in real life loneliness can be a very real penalty for messing it up.

I recall in a freshman sociology course the text noting refrigeration increased isolation and loneliness as people spent more time indoors.

As I have traveled, I have noticed a lot of further examples of technology doing the same. Especially in countries with less wealth, people go outside and share public spaces/activities/infrastructure with each other more, and that seems to have a lot of positive externalities.
Laravel is a Rails clone written in PHP.
And yet some of the population that live more than everybody else of the planet, e.g. the population of Icaria, eat whenever they like, and its very common to eat at late hours (after 10pm).

Then again they have a few other tricks up in their sleeves: they eat lots of quality plants grown in their island, they have minimal work related stress (or, for that matter, minimal work in general), leave close to calming nature (including sea), have good community ties, and are legendary for not giving a fuck...
To be fair, that's a sitcom. I think modern shows like BoJack Horseman are really good interpretations on how poorly those types of stories represented reality.
