Actually, it's the other way around. My bad.

I misread the paper: it says 5 mg/L and 10 mg/L, which is a thousand times less concentrated than the prepared spray. At any rate, this is the environmental dosage the bees come in contact with, not the sprayer's concentration.

So I searched for the basis for those targets of 5 mg/L and 10 mg/L.

The article reads:

"Glyphosate concentrations were chosen to mimic environmental levels, which typically range between 1.4 and 7.6 mg/L".[original article]

The reference for this interval[1] makes reference to three other papers.
One of these (from 1988) makes reference to another study on the "effects of a 2.2 L/ha Roundup application".[2] Another, from 1990, mentions an analysis of water residues "following application of ROUNDUP (2.0 kg/ha)"[3].

I have no idea what residues I'd find in my property, but the recommended dosage of concentrated product is still 2-4 L/ha. I am currently doing 3 L/ha.

Different brands of glyphosate concentrate usually have the same concentration, but this value might have changed after 30 years.

Drone Hobbyists Angered by Congress Ending the Aerial Wild West
This is me. I graduated last year and work at a small consulting shop doing web apps. I'm currently interviewing and getting offers from more established companies. This is the first time I've felt bad about leaving a company after one year. My coworkers are awesome. But the benefits suck, the clients are a nightmare, pay isn't great. I feel like I would be a fool to stay.
Congrats Google! You guys have made the world a better place. Search, Adwords, Chrome, Gmail, Maps, Navigation, Youtube, Android, Docs, Drive to name a few. Don't forget about that with everything that's going on. Sometimes the internet feels like it's a bit too focused on negative things.
Only because no one has mentioned it yet, "When We Were Kings". About The Rumble in the Jungle. We forget that, at the time, people were worried that Foreman, the hardest hitter who ever lived, might _kill_ Ali in the ring.

The savvy of Ali's "rope a dope" strategy, combined with the way he got in Foreman's head, whispering in his ear in the clinches, was genius. IMO, you can't watch this film and not agree -- GOAT.
"Star Trek Continues" was better than anything commercial that bears the "Star Trek" name going back quite a few years. It is as if they realize they can't compete with people who actually love the show, so they have to shut them down, even though they are not losing money.
Which will be the reality for Sears. Lampert will blame everyone else, while ignoring his personal failings as a manager of a large retail business. Because, hey, his hedge fund made bank. And tacitly, that's his goal. Conflict of interest is written all over this.

"The team didn't execute. Oh well." While his decisions directly lead to ballooning costs (A couple years back I read how many units ended up with redundant accounting/HR/etc, sapping their budget for store presence), stores that feel lower rent than a rural flea market (the last time I was in a Sears it was a mess; this was in a major metro area), and the cheapest merch, that made Goodwill seem upscale.
I had wrongly attributed the DanBC comment to you. Sorry.
I don't understand the "Condition" cards: "Forbids any card that is breaking this condition. If the condition is already broken, then forbids any card that is not going towards its resolution." I don't know what it means to "forbid" a card. The word appear nowhere else in the card descriptions or game rules. Some (non-trivial) examples are probably called for; it seems like one of the more powerful and complicated cards.

(Note my problem isn't an inability to come up with a plausible interpretation, it's that I can come up with too many.)

I also find myself having a dream of playing a "Repeat ${PlayerCount}" card and contriving it so that by quitting on my turn, I simultaneously win and exit the game. (What's the opposite of "ragequit"?)
As far as I can tell, unconscious bias has fallen victim to the replication crisis.

>Don't hire like FAANG companies, don't use their best practices, don't use their super oiled processes, don't play their same games with the same rules.

I'm back on the job market for the first time in 4 years and it seems like things have changed a lot. I'm now stuck in this weird twilight zone where every single company I talk to has the exact same process that they run through the motions as if it were dictated from somewhere, and I've yet to even have a genuine conversation. It inevitably leads to a "live coding" session over the phone where I completely go blank and am unable to perform because programming under a time constraint with someone staring at your screen is absurd. Problems on the level of fizzbuzz become impossible because my mind simply goes blank in those situations and I freeze up. It'd be nice if someone would just give me a take home project where I can actually code something properly and show off my skills, rather than conclude that I'm an idiot who can't even code after 20 minutes of struggling with some toy problem through my intense anxiety.
I don't mean to dismiss your experience, but this is such a super-tunnel vision point of view there's nothing here to gain. Your sample-size is one person, and for some reason you bring up gun control laws, which changes the course of discussion.

Of course many people with depression don't just die of being depressed. That's not what this article is describing.

Depression isn't severe trauma. Severe trauma can cause depression, and what's explained here, is that it can cause death by psychosomatic cause.

No, I'm talking about 99% of docs 99% of the time. It's a job. It's a great job sometimes, but it's paperwork most of the time. For every hour we spend rounding in the morning - when we're given at best 2/3 of the time we need to actually do the bare minimum, and half the time we need to really talk to people - we spend another 1-2 hours (minimum) in a windowless room doing a pile of paperwork notating the hell out of the morning's visits. I won't mention the X additional hours doing bullshit like wrangling with insurance companies and home healthcare and calling the nurse to very-politely-because-we're-all-a-team-here find out why my STAT EKG on last night's chest pain didn't get a fucking EKG. No one is passionate about paperwork in windowless rooms and workplace political wrangling. No one. But that's what it is most of the time, because it's a job. A real world job, with TPS reports (heh) and never enough printer paper to go around.

But, hey, if you want to buy the hype, go for it.
This is my experience exactly, and I am starting to get a sense of this mentality after my girlfriend went through a bootcamp. As a CS graduate myself I had several years to get a sense of what the industry looks like and what part of the industry I would be most satisfied working in (startups). Bootcamp graduates have less time to define their personal goals and industry view, so they are more prepared to give up equity and learning experiences for the opportunity to say "I work at [insert big tech company here]".
I understood what you meant. Whether or not I'm supportive of the terminology used for "Functional CSS" is a different story.

> Personally for me the term "personalisation" is becoming a dirty word and I am becoming uneasy when I hear it mentioned in design docs and product launches etc. I dont want to see what some algorithm thinks I want to see. Instead I would prefer to see the real, unfiltered, unfettered data. I think the whole Fake News outcry started me thinking about it in a more deep way.

That's also a corruption of the meaning of "personalisation." Personalisation is about me making choices to adapt a product to my preferences, it's not about the product making choices about how to interact with me.

Real personalisation would be having the (sticky) option to shut the algorithm off and "see the real, unfiltered, unfettered data."

> If truckers could pull up to a loading dock, unhook the trailer and leave it behind, and drive away with an empty trailer,

That's called a 'hook and drop' load and they are very common. Usually used within a large customer's trailer fleet, such as ones who have distribution centers that then fan out to stores.

In my early days, I ran my law office out of my house, and had an actual office, and clients sometimes came over. I have known a few lawyers to do this. I stopped after a few years because having kids ended up not being very compatible with this setup, but it did mean that our house was virtually spotlessly clean for a long time! My wife liked that.
I was surprised that nobody had yet suggest Ken Burns' The Dust Bowl. While not particularly exciting, to be honest, I found it incredibly moving and educational. The origins and extent of the plight and its ramifications across the whole country are nothing short of country-defining.

That the solutions to come out of at are so far removed from where we are today and how the US seeks to solve similar wide-spread economic challenges is deeply saddening.
many people will die from this article because they wil not believe their doctor and go to another one with a broken appendix that kills you in a few days from septic shock.
Both of those can be solved pretty easily, there's already a fairly strong business of roadside assistance and towing for trucks the operating company could either contract with a network of those to provide repair or refueling services or just call one from a list whenever a truck breaks down or runs out of gas (the second should be exceedingly rare).
Although the paperwork problem will definitely be an under-appreciated obstacle to making these systems work, autonomous trucks will eliminate a significant portion of it because there will no longer be any such thing as hours of service, or mileage logging for drivers.

Ditto for licenses, drug tests, background checks, and most of the common kinds of moving violations. and scheduling has its own set of paperwork which is a colossal nightmare because you are dealing with the always conflicting priorities of drivers on one side and customers on the other.

The major logistical obstacle outside of paperwork will remain to be resolving last-mile issues, but that has already been resolved long ago for containerized railroad freight: a.k.a. autonomous trucking technology from the 1800s. There's been a century's worth of time to solve this, manifested in the form of short-haul service providers known as intermodal draymen who pick up the container from a designated landing area (a rail yard) and haul it the last mile. This can easily be adapted to autonomous trucking logistics.
I remember using Google when it was hosted at Stanford.edu, luckily internet archive captures this moment:

https://web.archive.org/web/19981111183552/http://google.sta...

Notice that the branding is "Google!" with an exclamation point, just like that other Stanford tool for finding stuff online, Yahoo!.

The "About Google!" page is pretty interesting, includes links to Sergey and Larry's grad school personal home pages:

It also includes, under "credits," this:

Research Funding: NSF, NASA, DARPA and Interval Research

So remember, Google may be touted as a quintessential Silicon Valley startup, but, like virtually all of them, it owes a lot to the work of the federal government.

(And what is Interval Research, you might ask? Wikipedia says it was a Palo Alto tech incubator co-founded by Paul Allen — previously the co-founder of Microsoft. Lol.)

We really take your privacy seriously. This is why we went out of our way to prevent using Google Analytics, the easy and common way, to do the measurement of user-flows. There was nothing available that did it well for browser extensions.
Instead we built our own analytics tool that would ensure noone else has access to that data just because we are using someone else's software.

I trust that we all have a general vested interest in avoiding data breaches for sake of profits and public image. I do believe that we need a tad bit of regulation around data collection not because we are all shitheads that throw your data around, but for those couple of bad actors that ruin it for everyone to bring their businesses up to par with what the rest of us are doing -- but nothing as extreme as GDPR. This is America after all, and liberty is hard, but I still believe it's the most important principle. At the end of the day you are still entering an agreement to exchange your information for the use of the services, and you are at liberty to not enter into that agreement. It's obvious to me that people are not concerned with that enough that they are willing to shell out money for their email, content, recipes, craft ideas, photo storage, social platforms, payment platforms, and until the people change the business incentives will be focused on data collection. To not sound like I am on that high horse, I too utilize many of these services. The problem however for me is not unwillingness to pay, but as it stands right now there isn't a paid product that can compete with some of the services I get for free.

Things like Nazi gas chambers are interesting in a horrific sort of way, but this book did not concentrate on those types of things.

The book focused on things which I found to be subtly more disturbing, like the ability of an overweight Nazi guard to curse a death camp prisoner for being "swine, who doesn't know how to work!" while the prisoner is literally working themselves to death in front of the guard to just stands around being fat and worthless. Does the guard not see the irony? How is it possible that he does not? Do I myself hold any absurd views like that Nazi guard?

Ultimately the book showed me that there are decent and indecent people in any group, and made me want to be a decent person. I wouldn't say the book is depressing.
But also - how much of that is medical progress, and how much of that is ballooning costs coupled with insurance companies refusing to cover more than the absolute minimum (and in some cases much less than what really should be the minimum for the sake of safe recovery)?
I'm expecting an autonomous truck to be a supplement to a driver rather than a replacement. It becomes a tool to make him more productive for his customers.
The BBC's Planet Earth series is fantastic. Reminds me of Shakespeare: "There are more things in heaven and earth then are dreamt of your in philosophy"... Makes you really appreciate the beauty on this planet.

Also - a bit of a curveball answer: I really like Documentary Now! (on Netflix). They are parodies of really well known documentaries. So I ended up watching the parody and then looking for the source material on which it was based.

There are a ton of options as far as tools are concerned, and it really depends on frequency and type of use. For most people, cheap stuff is fine. Harbor Freight is far less "disposable" than people make it out to be, and tons of professionals happily use their tools. (No, really. Go visit your local mechanic or machinist. It is pretty likely they have that one 12in disk sander, if nothing else)

For trucking, solving less of the total problem is still immensely valuable. For example, being able to do simple platooning on freeways and having a driver available to navigate complex or congested environments can still provide significant commercial benefits in cost & efficiency. This isn't as much the case for autonomous passenger vehicles.

Additionally, the safety and compliance standards are different. For instance, ISO 26262 only applies to passenger vehicles.

Static vs dynamic typing aka catching type errors on compile and not on runtime.
Easily refactor code and all references there of. I would also say that I‘m faster using TypeScript BECAUSE of autocompletion, implicit code documentation through types, etc. The cost you listed are solved during the setup of a project.

I can just talk for myself, but I started a project at work and pushed for TypeScript. We now have automatically generated Swagger-clients fully typed, with a GraphQL layer infront of it with generated types for queries. Basically everything is typed now and I don‘t have to test or check incomming data or guess what kind of object I have to expect from our backend. The tooling is so good now, that the benefits outweigh any setup hassle you have upfront IMHO.
