Weird. I could hear a possible increase in how 'musical' the repeated phrase sounded, but I was flabbergasted when I heard the subject recordings, because I didn't hear anything remotely as song like??

Passing a law to send a message to political opponents in a faraway state, that's admission to pure abuse of power. Can US governors say that with a straight face and without repercussions?

> I don't get it. You could argue that the poor need food more than farmers need money. That same argument could be made to any business, though. Why are farmers more obligated to donate to the poor than anyone else?

One of the arguments for subsidies to farmers is that they are the "feeders of people". Sounds to me like they want privileges, why not a few obligations for a change?
I learned this from finance:

Don't join a team that's mediocre and/or where you're the only one with your skills. When it comes time to evaluate your performance or assess how long something should take, your manager and your team will be clueless. Useless people survive by playing politics. And when you quit they'll play games you can't win.
Neither could I, odd.
I currently use Bazel in combination with rules_docker to construct container images of applications, often written in Go. As I don't depend on cgo, my container images may be bare (i.e., only containing a Go executable and some static artifacts).

Though I understand that there are likely only dozens of us, my question is: what would the use of Buildpacks buy us for this specific use case?

My experience in Racket has been the opposite. Especially with the aid of DrRacket's stepping debugger, reading stack traces and finding bugs is rather painless. (Figuring out the best way to fix bugs, however, is no easier than in any other language.)
Makes sense since Honda went in with GM on On-Star. I guess they view it as needed, but better as a partnership with a company they have dealt with before.

Some is just slow because it's inefficient. It's been a while since I had to resort to this, but accessing a big svn checkout over cifs is so slow as to be useless.
At high closing speed, the determiner is whether the drone is in front of some part of the plane as the plane approaches. It's not going to be "pushed out of the way" because there just isn't time.

Think about moths hitting the windshield of your car. They weigh thousands of times less than your car, yet they still routinely splat on your windshield as you're going down the highway. Why? Why doesn't the air flowing around your car push them out of the way?

If you are going to introduce a flat tax on a good--say 5% for all members of society regardless of wealth--that tax would affect the poor more than it affects the rich, even if it is functionally the same amount of money. With this in mind, it may make sense to apply such a tax only to goods that are purchased more often by those that have the means to pay the extra tax without needing to make sacrifices for it, e.g. a luxury tax.
Using art as an example of an illiquid market, a piece may be valued at an amount that cannot be realized for 5 years or more, but the current holder just does not want to hold it for that long. The theoretical value does not change even if you buy it for less than that.

So charities can and do hold art pieces for years, then sell them at auctions when they know a good buyer is available and interested in benefiting the charity.

It may even sell for higher than appraisal just because of competition for the piece, or competition to look as of you are giving the most to charity. After all, no one goes to charity auctions for a good deal.

I'm really excited to see this project. Looking forward to receiving my two Solo Tap keys!

P.S. OpenPGP is a must for me. Hope to see update for that soon.
Definitely possible.

I'm curious why they went the punitive route rather than providing some kind of incentive structure. In some ways it works out to the same thing, but tax breaks for businesses committed to the cause seem way easier to enact and defend than authoritarian quotas.

Anyone with public policy or legal experience who can chime in here?
I think people tend to set up a false dichotomy between absolutely no genetic knowledge whatsoever and full on Gattaca. Basketball is a good example here. The desired genetic expression is quite visible in that game, and indeed most basketball players are quite tall. Yet on the other hand there have also been professional 5'3" players. Genetic information can tell you that, all other things being equal, one person is probably going to be more capable at some task than another person. But in reality it's never the case that all other things are equal, and so genetic expression is just yet another component that can ideally simply help create a more accurate profile of who you might be hiring.

On the other hand there is one very paradoxical risk. Consider fields where people work to marginalize the magnitude or relevance of inherent differences between people. Imagine you're hiring for a basketball team and think people are mostly about equal and any differences can be made up with training and effort. What are you going to do? Simply hire all the tallest people! And the same would be true in any field where individual exceptionalism is not emphasized. It's quite a peculiar notion that focusing on 'blank slate' equality would be what would lead to Gattaca, but I can find no flaws in the logic.
Before you get into a business partnership, while everyone is smiling and optimistic, put in writing how the two of you will end this partnership should the time ever come.

Things happen. They aren't who you think they are. Or maybe they suddenly decide they don't want to lift a finger, but they still get 1/2 the profits. And since it is a 50/50 partnership you can't even insist they let you buy them out.

Or maybe they are a great partner but they die in a car wreck and their spouse is a nightmare who just wants the business sold, now. Even if it wrecks your life. Be very wary of 50/50 partnerships without clear escape clauses.

I think it's up to the city, it's their pole. The federal government is coming in and saying there's a new price per pole and giving that discount to the ISP's, when will the people get their discount?

how about we barter, we'll give a smaller range (a fixed rate really isn't a good reality) and then the ISP's have to disband their lobbying efforts for ten years. Also they need to undo each state and local law they had put in place to prevent city and states from creating their own local ISP service. Oh, and Pai has to quit and be banned from working at any ISP for at least two decades.

"Seventeen surgeons and 13 medical students participated in this study." According to Table S1 they were classified as:

- 8 expert, mean age 35, 700 laparoscopic procedures in average

- 9 novice surgeons, mean age 31, 60 laparoscopic procedures in average

- 7 trainees and 5 controls, medical school year 1-4, 0 laparoscopic procedures.

They can also add "paper women". There is probably even an opportunity for a service company to provide a catalog with profiles, from which to add paper women to your board:

"Add a paper woman to your board! Cheap and easy! $9.99/year excl. sales tax"
It's problematic to say the least. It beats me why they didn't just make this a more targeted amendment e.g. to a California b-corp statute. Let founders decide if they want to have this restriction in place. I think such a narrow opt-in kind of statute would pass constitutional muster. Obviously no Article IV problem, since it is only that state's chartered corporations. And I don't see it as a freedom of association or equal protection issue, since it would be opt-in.
At first I was torn on this issue, but then I realized that really it makes no sense for the FCC to be telling cities what they're allowed to charge for this. It is sort of like the federal government preventing a city from charging taxes. This doesn't seem like an interstate issue so it doesn't seem like the federal government should be able to regulate it.

It may have a different name as phone manufacturers like to play around with what they name it, and each setting may have a different specific name. Each phone may have a different term for it, but you'd be hunting for 'presidential', or something like 'pref_key_cmas*' and setting that to false.

The article states the minimum will apply to seasonal and part time employees - but AFAIK Amazon employs a lot of people on so called 1099 contracts - the nyt coverage seems to imply those will be unaffected:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/business/amazon-minimum-w...

Only example I've on hand is this ft article from 2013:

https://www.ft.com/content/ed6a985c-70bd-11e2-85d0-00144feab...

"A global employment agency called Randstad, which had handled the recruitment process for Amazon, was also to arrange his shifts, manage him on the warehouse floor and pay him his near-minimum wage. After three months, if he had performed well, he could apply to be an Amazon employee, though there was no guarantee he would succeed."

Still, I seem to recall reading about extensive use of similar contracts at Amazon, more recently too.
> It lead to too many small cars(VW Up, Seat equivalent, and the like) because that's what common people can afford

Slightly confused - what's the issue here? Small cars are good. They take up less street space and tend to be more economical. My wife owns a Fiat 500 (which is about as small as you get); it's much easier to park on the narrow streets of our rural town than a bigger car would be, its fuel consumption is stellar, and it's no bigger than we need.
Hey so we checked your scan and noticed you only have experience with .NET 4.5, we’re really looking for someone with .NET 4.7.

one case is that you could have a bazel buildpack that contains bazel and java and all that stuff requires in order to run the build.

Unfortunately the resulting image would be larger than just a single binary, but building it would be a lot easier and repeatable for other people working on the project. The base layers would be cached though so in practice it might not be that much larger on disk.

I looked into using bazel for doing similar things, and the biggest stumbling block is that bazel itself is a PITA to install on all platforms. May end up trying https://please.build/ at some point.
Reaching out for advice to other founders

How did you guys reach out for advice? Cold emails still works?
Sadly, their time resolution (at least at the free tier) is awful.

Would be quite an interesting challenge to interpolate a large fleet of cubesat's imagery into decent time resolution (the goes satellites regularly do 30 sec time resolution ) over a large geographic area.

edit: The cube sats in the study are only microwave as well, which are compared to the noaa-20 series which arent the correct comparison really.These cubesats would fit in better with the GPM constellation for which global coverage is pretty good, but more coverage would be good. The biggest problem as mentioned is calibration. Accuracy of the dataset over long periods of time is Paramount.

It's a neat idea, but after too many sarcastic, "clever", trying-to-be-funny, defensive, et al emails in my career I have a simpler heuristic. If I have to ask myself "should I send it?", the answer is no. Leave it in drafts (with no one in the to: line!) until either things have cooled down and I delete it, or there's more perspective and it's actually ok to send.

I have too many fails to tell, but the worst ever was an email from a middle manager I didn't know at BigCo, cc: upper management. It blamed an issue on my team at the time, and I took it as an attack. For once there actually was no issue, and in my reply I managed to subtly rub in that they apparently didn't understand how their own dept. worked. CC: upper management still of course. It worked too well, and the person called me crying an hour later because they looked like an idiot to the big cheeses. As soon as we talked on the phone, they became a real person to me, and I felt like the utter dick that I had been.

Moral of the story, there are real people with real feelings on the other end of your words. It's almost never worth it to be a dick, slightly off color, or sarcastic, save that for in-person ;-)
I agree with this full-heartedly I work for a company where my boss told me a couple months in having a dev department was a waste of money for the company, and we were lucky to have a job. The company bread and butter was software that transcribe medical records from paper to digital. What the CEO and sale force didn't tell anyone it was actually a cubical farm of humans transcribing it all since the software was horrible. The environment was so horrible every worth while dev/IT person regularly drop out as soon as there contract was over or till they just didn't show up one day. The only reason the company even keep "functioning" was out sourcing everything to India. There database was duck tape and string together in ways that only the elders understood how to pull things out of it.

If you walk into any company where different departments get praise more then others it is a sign to walk out. You will always get treated like a second rate employee in those environments.
There are a lot of charities I don't want, but I don't think I should have the right to say what charities exist. Also, charities need people to run them, they aren't soulless automatons that execute on whatever evil plan was concocted by its benefactor. They are generally given broad direction and have the ability to change over time.
The assumption implied in many comments on this post is that this policy change will hurt companies.

It's genius in it simplicity. The car doesn't actually have a transmission and uses planetary gear sets and two electric motors to fake one.

The gasoline engine is used as the "baseline" power, and the motors then either take power away from it to charge the batteries, or complement it to help in acceleration, or just bypass it completely.

When the car is running in pure electric mode, the gas engine is stopped, and the motors work together to spin the output shaft at the desired speed.

When the car is using mixed power, the gasoline engine is working at a desired power level, one of the motor/generators is adding additional torque, and the second motor is used to make up the rotational difference between the sun and planet gears. This blending of gasoline and electric allows the wheel output speed to be independent of the gasoline engine speed.

When the car is charging the battery, the gasoline engine is run harder than it needs to be to move the car, and one of the motor/generator units is fighting against it, using the excess torque to generate power.

So, there is no transmission, no "shifting", the engine and mgu's are permanently connected to gears and simply spin them at the right speeds for the desired power and speed output.
AFAIK, there is a process by which you change your legal gender. Each person is also assigned a legal gender identity; AFAIK, it's used for which prisons population you go to, what it means to request same-gender officers/doctors/etc.

IANAL in any way, but my guess would be the same set of laws and systems would apply.

The more interesting thing is if/when there's someone legally identified as neither male nor female.

I was thinking about this the other day. The idea that most people are just watching garbage on YouTube 'might' be true, and that viewing educational or technical content is an outlier, but I'm not so sure.

Sure, there are countless massively popular channels with garbage pop content, but that may be due to the "general" nature of the content. The broad audience keeps it at the top of the most watched lists.

I think if you aggregate all the technical content, the "long tail" might be more numerous than the hump of the curve.

There are channels about programming, woodworking, plumbing, HVAC, construction, 3d printing, PC building, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, knitting, photography, cinematography,graphic design ... it just goes on and on. Sure, most of those channels may only have a hundred thousand or fewer subscribers (with some exceptions in the millions) but I wouldn't doubt that in aggregate they surpass junk like moviemojo and cat videos in time watched.

Youtube is an amazing phenomenon that I think doesn't get enough credit because of all the junk on there, but the fact that I can search for how to remove the abs module on a 2007 BMW 750li and get multiple videos showing how to do it just blows me away and definitely makes it a lot easier to get things done.
So it'll be all left wing from here on out then? I don't think wikipedia realizes how close they are to irrelevance. With google, facebook, etc lowering wikipedia's priority and with wikipedia's recent move towards a particular ideology, they are really losing their credibility and visibility. Just another in a long series of promising tech institutions that are failing miserably.
If Imperfect Foods's business model works out, it sounds like farmers will see an increase in profits. I don't see why that couldn't coincide with a decrease in subsidies. In an ideal world, we could even redirect that money towards the poor - potentially making up for the impact to food banks.
