I've been mentally drafting a blog post on exactly this topic, so while that percolates in my mind I'll answer with: it totally is a filtering problem.

For a small company whose culture is in flux and needs the right person, it's absolutely a matching problem. You need to find the right person for the job, period.

At the scale of a company like Google, however, it's absolutely a filtering problem. First off, we're large enough that most (perhaps not all) people talented enough to clear our interviews will (given enough persistence) find a place where they can be happy and contribute. We can get away with not worrying about the subtleties of matching and instead only focus on technical skills.

Second off, the number of applications rejected for every hire is staggering, simply because of how many people apply. These numbers are fantasy, but imagine if you had to choose one person out of a hundred applicants, and you actually had the means to interview every single one. You're going to pay this person a quarter of a million dollars a year and aim to keep them for half a decade or more. The economically rational thing to do is be picky as all hell, and this is exactly how Google and friends do it.
Yeah true, sorry for being a dick. I'm sick today, exhausted, and surviving on stimulants; hence my aggression and suboptimal reading comprehension. I shouldn't be expecting other people to deal with me in that state, so again my bad.
You are assuming the original patent holder still exists and holds the patent. And it's not held by some patent troll aggregator whose sole purpose in life is milking their large patent portfolio and who has no problem refusing to grant license on any of the individual patents if the applicant can't pay whatever they want, and have no incentive to undermine their portfolio profitability and their market worth by offering these licenses too cheap.
Maybe a centrifuge might separate the two?
I use something like this: “the secret password is tango-seven-alpha-romeo-zero-zero-victor-sierra-foxtrot-quebec".

Ugh. If we have a week of conversations like this,
we'll end up with nothing.

What people do and where people look has a lot more to do with what they really want than what they say.
VDB: High-Resolution Sparse Volumes with Dynamic Topology (Academy Award Winner) [pdf]
There are plenty of interesting, fun-to-drive new models on the market in nearly every category...on the condition that you're looking at the right price point.

>It seems like every automotive engineering decision since the 80s has been dominated by occupant safety and comfort, and fuel efficiency, to the detriment of everything else.

Yes, of course. Regulators (and hence automakers) have realized that a failure to continue to optimize on these features implies an unnecessarily high mortality rate associated with vehicle usage, either directly (in accidents) or indirectly (through pollution and climate change). And for what it's worth: The type of whining you're doing here isn't helpful to the auto enthusiast community -- it comes off as ignorant and entitled to non-enthusiasts.
Χρησμός refers to the oracular speech itself, not to the person or the institution. So it's closer to "Heed these words (of wisdom)."

That said, oracles were definitely not shy of making money.
The issue was that we wanted a new loophole for the 13th amendment. We also really wanted to permanently "deport" Americans who had brown skin.

There's a lot of money in that.

Yup, this is more or less the reason.

I have what's regarded as the best manual transmission in production on my Porsche, but in traffic, the automatic transmission on my econobox Mazda3 still does a better job moving the car from a stop smoothly with minimal impact on fuel economy with almost zero effort. On the Porsche, I'm either slipping the clutch causing more wear or having very jerky/abrupt starts, revving a bit more than necessary or risking stalling/bogging by short shifting.

Sure, the manual is a lot more fun and engaging to drive, but most people are simply content with commuting with an appliance.
Ah, there it is. 'Largely frivolous degree programs'. Not everyone can (or should!) be in STEM, the point of higher education is that having an educated populace with a wide variety of topics is good for the overall health of your country. Regardless if it's art history or psychology, a healthy nation needs a balance of educated individuals.

And to address your first posit: You would be objectively wrong. It is a remarkably ignorant America-centric viewpoint considering many other nations and countries do in fact have free college for their individuals. It does not devalue the experience at all. Why is it that we can't learn through what other nations have done?
You could distill it off just like you distill normal water. Lowering the surface energy might also be a possibility. Might be able to introduce a powdered surfactant and then mix a bunch. Should then wet everything and you can sediment out the solids.

> You could find better deals in nice parts of San Francisco or Manhattan.

It's about the same price as a median studio in SF,($2490 vs. $2461), but the SF studio is about the same size without the kind of shared kitchen, restroom, and living spaces outside the unit that are included, and without the convenience to the core campus. You can save rent by living off campis instead of on campus—in fact, you'll be forced to other than your first year by the woefully inadequate supply of on campus housing. On campus housing is a guaranteed-but-premium option provided for first year freshman and transfers, and which may be available to other students subject to availability, not a baseline requirement.
I think I worded the example poorly but my understanding is that there is a mil. doctrine of what kind of resources US mil. needs to be able to have X silm. engagements it's hard to say how much you can scale back and keep the same capability. I would imagine that it includes handling Russia and China at the same time for example.
Amazon is the first trillion dollar company at the same time I went out of my way to order shirts and guac mix from walmart.com because I have way more faith in products I find in the page or two of results I get there than from the thousands on Amazon, 99% of which are buried in fake reviews for fake products.

And I do it substantially cheaper. I even checked this week when I was in a physical store to compare prices and I was paying the same for the freely shipped stuff on the website as I would have going into a location. Competitive Amazon products had at least a 30-40% markup, even for the same brand.

And thats all on top of knowing how reprehensible a company Walmart is, but its not like Amazon is any better nowadays. At all.
A similar thing occured with LSD. It was only manufactured by Sandoz until the patents expired and the quantities manufactured exploded.
Well, you can think of it as a double meal. Just get 1 meal and split it with the wife and kid. then the quantity is just about right. Only problem is, if you like different things, it won't work out.
I found myself with using raindrop.io, getpocket.com, Chrome sometimes place links directly to Evernote, Trello or notion.so. It's hard to keep them organize and find something when I need it.

Well, I can only speak for myself, but every time I've used VR I've become nauseated, so I'd rather drive to the store if that's how shopping is done in the future.

A core problem is a customer thinking that serving size and price should be proportional. Most of the real costs are independent of portion size, i.e. real estate, capital, and labor. The raw ingredients in restaurant food just aren't that much of the total cost. The rest of the differences between fast food or fine dining come down to the quest to find local maxima in this problem space.

Fast food can bring the total cost closer to the raw ingredients by increasing the utilization of real estate, capital, and labor. A fine dining restaurant needs to dedicate much more real estate and staff to each customer, since they cannot serve as many customers in one time period. At the same time, they probably need at least some higher cost ingredients to satisfy the different expectations of a customer willing to pay higher prices.
In another thread today it was pointed out that humans produce 50 gigatonnes of CO2 per year. We have to start somewhere, but grabbing a few tons at a time may not out much of a dent in the problem.
I've been driving a manual transmission all my life, and I'm not exactly young. Why do I drive a manual? It makes driving an enjoyable experience rather than a chore. I've even changed my commute to maximize that experience. Rather than inch along the freeway mile after mile I take a state route running alongside a river. Lots of curves and pretty views. Yeah it takes a few minutes longer but my mental health is far better for it. It makes for a great transition between home/work and work/home.

BMW and Hyundai investing doesn't mean nothing. But it also doesn't mean a lot. There are a ton of battery startups that have highly speculative investment from respectable companies. They invest because the prize is so big. If they really have done what they claim then it is worth many many billions.
I understood it as less total weight it requires, as instead of thick hermetically sealed tank needed to hold a volatile gas one could (probably) use a lighter container for less volatile substances. This of course assumes extracting the volatile substance back requires some procedure that can not happen by accident in transport.
I did and it had made me a bit sedated and very little benefit. To each their own, i already found what works for me.
Even if they are, a CVT saves enough fuel over its lifetime to offset the cost (5 MpG combined more efficient in some cases).

The UK is moving away from manuals for hybrid and fully electric vehicles which often use a CVT, or no transmission in some cases (direct drive).
I consult for some of Amazon's biggest sellers. They absolutely have to pay for these ads to compete. Amazon fees all in can easily reach 25% of the retail price, and that's assuming you're paying very close attention. They skyrocket if you decide to take a pee and leave your analytics dashboard closed for a few minutes!
Not everyone is interested in politics.
It's about what you'd pay for a studio in SF of similar size with the kitchen and bathroom taking up some of that space.

Of course, the commute to UC Davis campus would be longer from SF.
WASM streaming compilation is possible today and runtimes are adding tiered compilers: https://v8project.blogspot.com/2018/08/liftoff.html

Regardless, as long as you're network-bound in the critical-path, that will only help to the extent that partial execution works well. That is baked into HTML/CSS/JS; not so much with WASM.
Sure you can. Limit the federal education loan guarantee to 15k per year.

Presto. Watch education prices drop like a rock, when lenders raise rates to accommodate future earnings potential, instead of counting on federal guarantees.
> But what do we do? […] We do not merely do nothing to get rid of the conditions in which such people are born – we actually encourage the institutions which produce them. We all know what these institutions are: the mills, the factories, the workshops, the inns, the pot-houses, the brothels. And far from wiping out establishments of this sort – considering them necessary, we encourage and regulate them.

Would the world really have less crime if we didn't have factories and inns? Agrarianism is so alien to modern life I can hardly imagine it being a dominant philosophy.

Exactly. The bankers that did this are still adults, and are still fully capable of taking responsibility for their actions. No one told them they had to make garbage loans.

ICE efficiency brings that down a decent amount, no? 35-40% at best. The fuel is much more dense, but converting it is not as efficient.
Looks cool! I wonder: what's the rationale for it exactly?
Intermittent fasting has been shown in a few cases to exceed the benefit of caloric restriction (and it's generally easier to follow: http://www.pnas.org/content/100/10/6216
I mention that because the cytological benefits of IF are also accompanied by well improved glucose regulation metrics. There's a good chance that those changes are at least partial drivers for the overall benefits.
There was a story somewhere (I can't find it now) about how a big part of the lack of car color options in the US is that consumers are used to buying cars directly off dealer lots.

According to the article, this makes the consumer into the customer of the dealer, and not the manufacturer. As such, the dealer is the manufacturer's true customer, and their demand is what drives production and availability.

The dealer, naturally, optimizes their inventory for the best sellers, which are generally grayscale colors, so that's what they order from the manufacturer. When the customer shows up, the limited choices often force compromises, which turn into statistics used to further optimize inventory.

The way out of this loop is for the customer to insist on the exact desired configuration.

The problem is that many (most?) people don't care enough to wait for three months instead of driving home in their new car the same day. This is further exacerbated by the dealer's willingness to offer a better deal on a car that's on the lot than one that has to be ordered.

I wouldn't be surprised if transmission availability plays into this to some extent, though probably not quite as much. After all, manuals are still generally cheaper in terms of MSRP, but dealer pricing may negate and even reverse that advantage.
Ruby Web Dev the Other Way
Paint is good for editing config files and simple projects, but for more advanced programming GIMP is better. It is extensible and offers a vast range of plug-ins for making things easier.
I don't believe your nitpick is valid here. True, sometimes one has to code under pressure, in the sense that money is lost (or, at least not made) while things are down, but there's almost never a situation where you can't stop and take an extra 20 or 30 minutes to check to see that your code would do what you expect it to do. In fact, if the worst consequence of waiting 30 minutes to deploy a temporary fix is that some more money gets lost, I would argue you should almost always do that rather than deploying code that might have even worse consequences.
Yup, good book too. Still pick it up from time to time.
I assume you mean cell membranes (cell walls are in found in plants, fungi and bacteria and made from polysacharides). However, it seems like an impermeable wall is less the issue than trans-membrane structures which facilitate selective transport of different species (ions, molecules, etc).
Some ex NSA tech lead (Bill Binney-something, who quit because of absurd spying) they were drowning in data and were mostly interested into listening more (an easy reason to get more budget iirc).

We used to do something similar to this at our old job. The team would pitch in $5 bucks each and one member's wife (a SAH mom) would send him in with an awesome meal for us once a week.
I don't see why the age of the novel factors in. Reading is a subjective experience with a variety of modes and conditions, so if for example the subject is working their way through old novels as a hobby then yes, I really can see why it'd be just as annoying to have the 120 year old plot spoiled as it would be for a brand new movie.

Still, I think "spoiler alert" is a lot better in cases like these than "no spoilers." It gives freedom of choice to the reader.

That is literally the opposite of what "preventative care" means.

I'm not sure whats normally done but I answered this above. You could distill it like normal water.
This speaks to a bigger issue, which is that retail is hard. Now that Amazon can let down its hair and start charging prices that may actually be sustainable, we are learning that the local retailers it's driving out of business were actually fairly efficient. They didn't have the luxury of charging below-retail for 20 years, so they didn't look as attractive as Amazon did during that same period.
in the context of an investment strategy, it is reasonable to assume that the overall market will always eventually rebound after a crash. it might not sometime in the future, but if the entire world market collapses and never recovers, we have bigger problems on our hands than asset allocation for retirement.

that said, there's really no reason to assume that a specific type of asset will continue to appreciate indefinitely, even if it has done so for a very long time.

but we're not even talking about betting hard on a particular asset class. we are talking about massively levered loans whose viability depends on the value of a single building. literally zero diversification. I honestly don't know how anyone could see this as anything but wishful thinking.
Distillation would work. Might be more efficient ways, I'm not sure.

Fortunately, gasoline cars are so inefficient that you only need about 1/3 of the comparable energy in an electric car to move the vehicle. Still a ways to go, but we don't need to get to all the way gasoline energy density for the equivalent range.

What's happening is the converse - more and more universities are instituting this requirement. After all, the fancy dorms they built aren't going to pay for themselves, if they don't get a captive tenant base.

So thinking past the sale for a minute, which day (assuming US Monday - Friday) would you make an off day?

Friday? Give the phrase TGIF some bite? Friday, Are You In Love?

Monday? Like Bob Geldof, do you dislike Mondays? Do Rainy Days and Mondays bring you down? Making Monday an off day might wreck a huge part of pop culture.

Wednesday? Why not? 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off?
I think the amount of data is the main concern, yes.

For Europe, you probably want to follow closely the new “EU DSO Entity” which is to be formed following the new Electricity Regulation, it's an entity intended to enhance cooperation between Distribution System Operators. One doesn't know if it will be just a paper tiger, though.

You can download the full report from the IMF here: https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/CR/Issues/2018/09/10/Rep... This is an ARTICLE IV CONSULTATION which is a type of report the IMF publishes about each country each year.

The Marshall Islands are obviously a relatively small market, and the IMF devotes a chunk of their report to the new currency and the risk of losing their correspondent banking relationship (CBR) in the section "PROTECTING FINANICAL STABILITY" which is 3-4 pages (starting on page 6)

I recommend you read it yourself. The IMF's primary concerns seem to be AML issues and the prior existing risk to their CBR, which amount to a large amount of risk for such a small country to take on. Note the Marshall Islands are part of the Compact of Free Association with the US and are highly dependent on the US for almost everything, so having a falling out with the US would be really bad for them.

Maybe I haven't drank enough kool-aid but I'm unconvinced this is the IMF making threats (it's not like the IMF really has any power anyway) and more them advising the Marshall Islands that they're likely in dicey territory with the US regulators and that that is a substantial risk to their economy.
Two years ago, it was reported that the average webpage was a bigger download than Doom — 2.39MB.

Which is a better user experience:

1) Download an enormous framework that also runs slower and slower each year on constant hardware, because developers add more features?

2) Download a tiny page which hands heavy lifting off to the server (if you really do that the pages are only about 8kb plus images), and which requests an equally tiny page when the user does something requiring a server response?

It won’t be the same for every app, of course, but most of the content I see online doesn’t need or even benefit from JavaScript. I’ve literally turned it off by default and generally get a better UX… yes with a few exceptions, but only a few.

They are trying to raise the average price, e.g., by making two colors that were base price options into premium add-ons.

They don't want to overtly raise the base price because of the optics.

What would be the difficulties to have these in PG, outside of "getting developer interested in implementing it" (i.e is there some current architecture decision in PG that prevent it, like it's the case for "why vanilla PG is not suitable as a column store")
The Myth of CEO Work-Life Balance
Even if completely true, that technology will probably come too late for cars. With the current production (and sales) of Tesla, other carmakers have had to react one or two years ago (and it looks like they did).

Expect an increase in the production and sale of EV by a factor of ten in the next five years, barring a global economic crash. That scale should easily drive down the cost of conventional LiIon cells below the cost of gasoline engines (you will probably be paying around 100$/kw/h or even less).

In such a scenario there is not much room to develop and scale a brand new technology. It could be interesting for planes though.
