> I don't feel too bad about ordering from Imperfect Produce, it's convenient way to get produce delivered to your door

Honest question: are there similarly convent ways to get produce delivered to your door that don't undermine the food banks' fresh food supply? If you can afford to pay for produce, why not pay for the produce that's traditionally been on the market?
I've heard things like "if you have a problem and are unhappy, just go to HR". Nope, I'm not going to rant to them, and I'm certainly not going to talk to our in office mental health professional.
It matters how you are defining rate.

The 4% rule is using a withdraw amount fixed to an initial start time, only increasing with inflation.

If your withdraw in a given year is percentage of current portfolio size, you can tolerate a higher percentage.
> What do you mean by 'conspiracy?"

The United States did not invade Iraq because it was threatening to switch to Euros. If anything, American banks would have been thrilled at the prospect of new FX revenues.

> Oil bourses trade in dollars

Oil bourses? Oil futures are mostly traded on exchanges, but oil the commodity is mostly traded over the counter. It's privately negotiated. Those private negotiations reference whatever they want to, whether Brent in USD, Brent in EUR, WTI in USD, COM in JPY, et cetera.
> We're offering new companies in both Seattle and LA a special $15,000 fee on your first hire.

That is an insane amount of money in the world of education and skill training.

For an industry that prides itself on being “efficient” and “productive”, it is kind of amazing to see how institutionalized the gatekeeper business has become.
Why? We lead the world in software by a long margin. It's one of the reasons english is the lingua franca of software development. As for electric cars, it's only the US and the chinese who are heavily invested in it. The japanese have a presence in EVs but they are more heavily invested in hydrogen cars.
The list got me thinking, why aren't there more biotech startups in Silicon Valley? Not to discount the importance of other things but I'd really love to see we put more resources into improving the human body. Maybe US regulation is the obstacle here?
What no, open core is not dual licensing, at least, not by what is meant here with "dual licensing".

Dual licensing is about selling exceptions. Selling copyleft exceptions. There's no dual licensing without copyleft, because there is no exception to sell. And yes, it requires a single copyright holder. FFTW is an example of dual licensing. Octave gets FFTW because we like copyleft and Matlab gets FFTW because they like to pay to hide their code.

But it doesn't just have to be a library. MongoDB also sells exceptions because people are irrationally afraid of the AGPL.

I think you were confused by software like Firefox which is dual or triple-licensed and all recipients get to pick which license they want to follow, but that's not what was being discussed here.
Nagasaki is the most obvious example. But see the effects of bombing in general.

EDIT: oh how silly of me to think that atomic weapons would be considered brutal.

It is true that such action had to be rationalized in order to support a fictional world in which America rules by virtue rather than deadly force.
IMMO, this is a good strategy from GM. The more big autos to adopt / invest in Cruise, the better.
Contextually, it's pretty clear that they're defining "YC company" as "a company that YC invested in".
Clojure's stack traces are an issue with Clojure specifically, and how it's hosted on top of the JVM. A lot of the stack trace you get is actually implementation details of the Java objects making up the Clojure runtime. In effect, the program that you get stack traces of is the Clojure interpreter rather than your Clojure program which is running inside that interpreter.
Amen. I've shown the exact same application on a dingy thinkpad and a shiny new retina iPad, and had diametrically opposite reactions.
Some people obviously do ok at this. Others work hard for a decade and end up bankrupt.

I'm certainly not suggesting it's impossible, but it clearly isn't easy.
at what costs though? Killing the JCPOA with very little reason (considering nothing in the agreement has been broken) does not sit well with the EU for good reason considering iran is in the EU's backyard.

This administration is bringing a serious rift in transatlantic relations, and that is a bad thing for both sides.
Yeah, but that's another device to pay for unfortunately.
While real hardware has metal, that's not what bare metal means.
I actually agree that automation is a great way to become profitable. I would suggest your modified statement (not enough labor at profitable prices) is true for every extinct industry. We probably could have produced an extra $1B of hand produced typewriters this year, but no one wants to make them by hand for $1 an hour and no one wants to buy them.

Saying there is $3B of produce that could have been produced, ignores the fact that it would have been produced at a loss (after labor costs sufficient to incentivize workers) and there may not of even been a market for the over supply.

If there is an actual unmet market need the price curve will move upward meaning employers can pay workers more to fulfill the unmet need. To me this looks like a lack of a market for $3B of produce...
Always make backups. The little bit of time it takes will be a life saver if anything transpires unexpected. Oh and don't deploy on Fridays.
Maybe you don’t have a “main screen.” A lot of devices don’t. For example, servers, NASes, or smart speakers. Or maybe your main screen is just not made for display of text at the level of detail required—like a smartwatch, or an IoT device like a thermostat, or even a jumbotron/billboard computer that’s too big to see up close.

In a lot of these cases, it should be pretty obvious that there are also no permanent input peripherals attached to the target device, and perhaps not enough ports to conveniently plug them in.

So, tell me what’s more convenient: lugging a secondary display, mouse and keyboard around to plug into your devices to debug them? Or just plugging your laptop into the server and opening a terminal emulator?

The advantages of serial access are exactly the same as the advantages of SSH access, except that serial access doesn’t require an active network stack and daemon running to facilitate it, and so is usable even in a post-crash single-user mode, or in an unable-to-begin bootstrap stage.

Plus, with serial, the solution is universal—anything that supports serial output can be attached to anything that supports serial input. Whereas those peripherals aren’t guaranteed to do anything much if you plug them into a crashed PC.

Oh, and one more advantage: if you’ve ever tried writing your own kernel driver or unikernel (or game on a game console), you’ll have experienced the fact that a kernel crash that happens while the display is in graphical mode is very hard to get displayed on the screen, since you can’t know what subsystems (like the framebuffer, or the scheduler) are still in a valid state. Spewing lines onto the serial console, on the other hand, works perfectly. (And for this sort of development you can usually go even further, producing a debug build of your kernel or game that will crash into a debugger breakpoint accessible via the serial console, expecting something like gdb to be running on the other end of the serial connection. The main difference between a game console and its development kit is basically the presence of serial debugging.)
If you can't find a simple solution, you're thinking too complicated.
When the factories and steel production run on green power that 20% will drop very low.

The problem is that the fossil fuel lobby has been exceptionally successful in putting the transition back by 30 years. Had they expended the same energy pivoting to green power then we'd be having a totally different discussion now.
"Leader of the Free World" always struck me as an odd term. Is the US the only free country? If not, then did other countries elect the US President? Isn't an un-elected leader a dictator? Wouldn't "Dictator of the Free World" imply that the Free World wasn't actually free?

The logical assumption is that the US President is not in fact a leader of anything outside of the US and only the pride and arrogance of the citizenry would lead to that title. Alternatively, it could be true that the US President is indeed the dictator of the rest of the world, but then it would be more fitting to call him a dictator rather than some Americanized version of "Great Leader".
I learned this one as well. One week after going to HR with a concern I was fired.

> Increasing the minimum wage from 5 to 50 dollars is unlikely to cause a 10x inflation, it more likely would cause a 3x or 5x inflation.

I' guessing it would rather create massive unemployment, and subsequently be cancelled. Think about it - middle-class people are ok with paying $4 for their Starbucks coffee, but if they were to pay say $10 (because the baristas salaries just tripled), probably a lot of them would cut back on them. Maybe even Starbucks would disappear altogether. Multiply that effect across all industries hiring minimum-wage workers. It would be a train wreck.
It is the same source for Denmark and Germany. Since US is not a part of EU, so I had to come with a different source.

As for your other argument - both reports count "vehicles in use" (ACEA) or "vehicles in operation" (US)
Quantity has a quality all of its own.
Ordinary people who go to buy a device can know what “version” a router or laptop/phone supports. It makes it much clearer when comparing two routers which supports newer technology rather than knowing the diff between .ac or .n
How to successfully roll out a product/site.

Released "Version 2" which was an entire newly built system that we worked on for an entire year (we also thought we were "agile" btw). This completely crashed and around 10K users were unable to use the product for almost 2 weeks. We did plenty of things right but we also failed.

Biggest Lessons learned:
1. Release features and changes in manageable incremental chunks
2. Load test, load test, load test - just do it! Yeah, sure, your app worked with your one user when there is 1kb of data in your datastore - what about 5000 users accessing it with 10GB in your data store?
3. Get and use an APM - when it feels like everything is on fire you'll need to know where the fire is coming from
4. One way changes that can't be rolled back are the devil. Take the time needed to make sure you can roll back - manageable incremental changes help with that.

I don't disagree, but it does seem like if someone discovers something Nobel worthy that the discovery itself or the paper should have been cited within Wikipedia somewhere.

That said, Prof. Arnold definitely deserved a Wikipedia page before winning the Nobel: she had trained multiple students that had Wikipedia pages, won numerous awards, been elected to all three National Academies, did seminal work using DE, and has had many other research accomplishments.
+1 every time I say exactly the same. I have an axiom about that.

> Nagasaki is the most obvious example

The most obvious example of what exactly? Are you going to give comparisons to other atrocities that show that the US is the worst and most brutal empire in history? Also how does "Nagasaki" even qualify as imperial activity?

>EDIT: oh how silly of me to think that atomic weapons would be considered brutal.

You claimed the US was the most brutal empire in history not that the bombing of Nagasaki was brutal...
... MVP, which made me look like an amateur.

If you're in a domain where aesthetics and "beauty" matter, then your MVP is missing the "V" unless you have, indeed, made the thing beautiful. The Lean Startup approach doesn't tell you not to make things beautiful... it just tells you to make only what you need to validate your hypothesis. If that means making something beautiful, then you make it beautiful.
This is hilarious and 100 percent correct.

Math.

Multivariable calculus and differential equations weren’t a part of my undergraduate CS curriculum. Now that I’m doing an MEng in AI, I have to learn the hard math I skirted by before.

I don’t have the time or money to take the proper math classes so I’m learning everything myself. I have to figure out my own structure and timeline.

Without the math, I wouldn’t be much more than a technician when it comes to AI. It’s worth the work.
I think you need a combination of both. Just working on random projects isn't feasible all the time. I've worked on projects where I simply did not know how to complete said project and googling didn't help much. There is real value from taking a voluntary formal course that is comprehensive. It will give you the basic foundation to master the subject. You can use projects to refine your skill.
You know, I meant the top tenth percentile, but you have a point. It's easy on the internet to see how many people are performing better than you, and not just how many people are worse than you.

I guess I was thinking in terms of being in the top tenth percentile of people showing off in that area. Someone else in the thread put it in terms of being in the top tenth percentile of piano players in r/piano.

But yeah, being in the absolute top ten probably is closer to capturing what our monkey brains are expecting.

There are several audiences.

1. Developers.

What you need to know is: it just works. You don't even need to write a Dockerfile any more. The buildpack turns your code into a well-structured, efficient runnable image with no additional effort.

2. Operators.

What you need to know is: oh thank god no more mystery meat in production. Patching the OS is a ho-hum affair instead of a stone grinding nightmare that turns your developers into a white hot bucket of rage because you have to nag them or block them from deploying or both.

3. Platform vendors, buildpack authors and curious passers-by

What you need to know is: All the other stuff about detect, analyse, build or export.

Unless you are in group 3, the basic thing is that Buildpacks require less effort than Dockerfiles with more safety and faster builds.
Unrelated to the article (since I couldn't get to it), but it's interesting to see that MIT Technology Review does not allow you to browse in Incognito mode.
Is it ironic?

Creating a national investment fund from the oil bonus seems a far better choice than continuing as usual, or using it to pay for tax cuts (1980's UK).

When the oil runs out, or is considered too damaging to use any more, the infrastructure will still be there, and so will the fund.
A lot of programming jobs just need someone who can follow directions, not someone very skilled. It's the digital equivalent putting together IKEA furniture instead of being the person doing all the design work to ensure things fit together and the directions are simple to follow.

The most common way I've seen people try to figure out what went wrong is sprinkling stuff like "console.log("Here1"), console.log("Here2") throughout the code until they figure out which "Here" statement wasn't printed, then they start making random changes to values until the error reflects the changes that they made, then they check stackoverflow, if there aren't any results, they'll paste the error message with no context, having learned nothing in the process. It's pretty common in any field where you can get by knowing "what" to do, vs "why" to do something. I've seen the same thing teaching Linux classes where someone throws up their hands and gives up because they tried to cat a file and it said "error: no such file or directory", but they just saw "error", and decided it was too difficult.

The entire London Transport system runs on a ~12.7 billion dollar budget with over 4 billion riders a year, which comes out to a cost per head of a bit over $3, and yet last time I checked their transport system seems to work just fine. Trying to imply the MTA is underfunded won't work here.
Awesome work! I'm experimenting with a custom built, mostly-computer-controlled aeroponic myself, but it is way more on the hobby scale than this work you are doing.

If farm workers were making $100 an hour and there was billions to be earned nation wide, we'd see "Farmer" be a valid H1B Visa job. More income means more taxes and the government, businesses involved and workers (foreign ones if US ones are too lazy) are all incentivized to make this production happen.

I learned programming the hard way—by starting with imperative programming.

(Of course this doesn't apply to everyone, as I'm already a pretty mathematical person, and functional programming just immediately clicked and made sense. YMMV. In contrast, the first time I learned quicksort I spent an entire afternoon before I made sense of all the swapping and increment/decrement of array indices. In a way, I really hoped I hoped I would be introduced to programming with a better textbook, say SICP, which doesn't talk about assignment until one third into the book. It just suits my style so much more.)
That has been FCC policy for 84 years. They have always helped out the monopolists. Even when the commission temporarily pretended (never for more than a year or two) to care about the public interest, the agency itself was still firmly in the pocket of Ma Bell and her daughters.

For one example [1], Copenhagen is converting the buses and harbour ferries to electric. Already, many of the busiest or most-central routes use LPG or hybrid buses.

Many of the city's other vehicles are electric, for example the vehicles used for collecting litter or moving the workmen who do minor repairs.

That isn't the national government though. I don't know what cars they use.

I have had a Surface Book for a couple years now. And this definitely does not match my experience.

-The battery is great, virtually never have to plug it in. Can go a whole day working from home without power. Or even a whole weekend of light use. Although I have found that on occasion it does not sleep correctly when you close the lid, hitting the power button when closing the screen has prevented that problem. But I have never come back to a dead laptop, just a few percent less.

-I don't think I have seen a fullscreen metro app in...well a long time if ever. So not sure what apps you are using that this happens with.

-WSL has no gaps where I need it. I use it for Linux Web development all day long with no issues. Especially due to recent updates.

-Maybe I have been lucky, but I have never had an issue with windows update. Perhaps it is being more aggressive than normal.

-I just unpinned everything from the start menu, and haven't seen any ads for anything since I did. Am I missing them somewhere?

> That first sentence characterizes the novel's diegetic (in-narrative) setting by giving the sky a property of an alternate medium (television). Unlike gentler rhetorical assertions such as simile, the declaration that the sky possessed a property of television suggests that the setting--like the intra-diegetic setting of the (Morrocan) beach in which an unnamed adversarial AI imprisons Case--is also a media construct in which the reader is imprisoned.

That's a very interesting take. I never took it to have such a deep meaning, I took it rather at face value (and its face-value-interptretation if you will): that is was visual white noise (vaguely like driving into the snow at night, perhaps?). I took the metaphorical meaning to be that the sky was indistinct, somehow pointless (like watching no channel), conjuring up bleakness and futility.

In other words, I took it to be a device to transport ambience, not structural meaning.

> In other words, the media topology structuring the novel's outermost narrative is a recursive formation of one medium inside another medium and this structure is timeless. It's merely recursion.

Interesting. I had meant to re-read it anyway. I shall pay attention to your perspective, see how it shifts my perspective of the rest of the book.

> However, fully understanding the literary (as opposed to narrative) significance of such a structuration depends upon knowing what television was and why any of its channels might be "dead" as opposed to "live".

To my kids, a "dead channel" would look uniformly blue.

Or like a 404 page perhaps, these day :-D

> The significance is timeless, drawing power from the assertion that life is in fact lived on a stage.

I feel you might be you're over-thinking it there, in the sense that the actors in a TV show wouldn't be seeing static. Only viewers would.

Thanks for sharing your perspective, I found it really interesting.

Realistically they probably end up on grocer shelves, which are themselves a horrific contributor to food waste. Some small portion of those that will otherwise end up in a dumpster will be redirected to other ends (e.g. 'made fresh' foods offered by various grocers) or donated.
There are certain people that just don't have developed critical thinking skills and will shut down the minute something goes different than expected. I have dealt with a few of those types of people in my career and it is incredibly frustrating. The best thing you can do for them is not to help them in the way they want, by giving them the answer, but by making them do some of the grunt work on their own before they even come to you. I ask a lot of questions about what they are seeing and if they can't answer them then I make them go back until they can. Simple things like "what have you searched for regarding this", "what does the error message say" in order to get them in the habit of actually starting to look into their own issues.
