Yeah, but there are two sides to that (voluntary) transaction. The person bidding for labor and the person offering their labor. If the buyer and seller can't agree then the transaction doesn't take place. The value of the labor is subjective.

Above a flow of around 3,600 pcu/hr (passenger car units) per lane, the roundabouts does not balance each direction effectively. (No gaps).

Traffic lights (signals), can help improve flow further in these situations as well as giving pedestrians a safe way to cross.

Part-time signals (only on a peak) can be very effective.
Exactly. It's a good idea, but there are way too many opportunities for its implementation to be heavily skewed towards some bias or belief. If you believe something is true because it is in some religious text, it'll be very hard for you to teach children to question any news which appears to condradict it, even if that news is factually (and technically) correct.
The Japanese don't have DST, despite Japan having a similar latitude span to the lower 48. Somehow, even the kids in northerly Hokkaido manage just fine.

Although, as we show in [1], determinism may
formally be shown to be consistent, there is no
longer any evidence that supports it, in view of the
fact that classical physics has been superseded by
quantum mechanics, a non-deterministic theory.

I am surprised at the number of folks who still try to argue that science (particularly physics) has "proved" that these is no free will. This may in fact be true, but you can't argue that it follows from Physics in a post-Quantum world.

I'm confused by dismisal of smart tvs as "novelty value add[s]", while simultaneously saying "buy a tv with a built in chromecast". That's pretty much what smart televisions are.

Mine has multiple streaming clients built in that work perfectly fine. It's literally running Android. The biggest problem with it is that it uses some private LG app store. If it didn't, I wouldn't own a Apple TV, but as it is, the built in tv apps are where I spend 90% of my time. They work. They're updated frequently. The experience is just better.
Do you have evidence to back up any of that?

China doesn't have near the surveillance infrastructure that the US government does outside of China.

The simple fact that China has more citizens to surveil does not mean China is conducting surveillance on a larger scale.

Just like this app, you seem to focus on protecting against the voter (or someone using the voter's phone).

How do you protect against a compromission of:

* The app's server code

* The app's hosting providers

But Canonical (and I assume SuSE as well) has quite a few proprietary bits (definitely more than RedHat), with some of their offerings being more or less "Open Core" (for examples, see comparison of MAAS free vs commercial, or how to distribute software to Ubuntu Core systems).

I've always been a huge fan of sublime, i use it daily as a text editor. It's largely a visual clipboard for me.

However as a development environment its lacking. The interface for installing and configuring plugins is needlessly arcane, and whilst it's fast I find myself defaulting to vscode for pure productivity reasons. I don't even particularly like vscode - largely electron snobbishness tbh - but it's the best to for my particular job (frontend dweeb for a well known site with a very modern stack)

I've used intellij, visual studio, vscode, sublime and dozens of other apps extensively professionally as my day to day (eclipse and atom were low points) and all have their merits but as a fast, easy, cohesive environment that is easily setup a combination of zsh and vscode is absolutely my goto the days.

Edit. People calling vscode bloated does amuse me though. it's not exactly vim but it's a million miles away from its bigger brother.

No, not really. Economic constrains are the real issue. It makes no difference if a person decides to live spending less if he is never constrained by what he can afford. On the other hand, if someone needs something (say medical care) but can't afford it then there's a problem.
Of course, Snowden was only able to review what he saw 5 years ago or more. Why you have any doubts that the NSA, with ample resources to track and control, would use techniques similar to what the Chinese do? Do we really need another Snowden to realize this obvious fact?

Proposition 7 doesn't immediately change anything. It authorizes the state legislature to change the DST rules if authorized by federal law.

Reading the text of the revised law, it does seem to emphasize the possibility of going to year-round DST as opposed to year-round Standard Time (which is what I would prefer).

One thing I'm not clear about is how the state legislature didn't already have this authority. Prop 7 doesn't change the state constitution, just the state Government Code.

Inoreader is the absolute best for me, although I usually use it for discovery.

I just have over 200 rss feeds, mostly from blogs, but from Twitter and Facebook too, and then tag and star everything I may be interested in.

They also have this chrome extension for adding websites from the web, but I haven't found myself using it much.

It has a pretty good search functionality, but I think you do have to pay for some of it.

It also has a lot of automation tools like "auto send to one note" sort of stuff, integration with ifttt, among others.
I think what you're getting at, and several others, is that every opportunity has been squeezed out.

- Go to college? Get massive debt, insecure about losing whatever job you get after. Lots of other people have paper too. Oh and they also want to live near where degree jobs are, just like you.

- Start in the mail room? They don't promote from the mail room anymore.

- Work minimum wage? Everything costs what it needs to cost for you to have zero saving or extra time.

- Buy a house? Houses already cost a lot. In fact every investment asset costs a lot.

- Start a business? Even starting a restaurant is different from a couple of decades ago.

- Learn a trade? This one sounds reasonable to me actually. All that "you must get a degree" has left a hole that plumbers and electricians can fill. But you have to get used to being looked down on. Plus many people use prestige as an indicator of income, so they might not discover there's a reasonable living to be made. Still requires you to apprentice for a bit though.

I hope that actually does happen for Ivan. Wouldn't that be a great outcome for him? He spent a considerable amount of time on it.
Most of the major success stories you're familiar with from that era, involved entrepreneurs that had rolling levels of success. They built up reputations first, which enabled them to raise large amounts of capital as needed to fund ever larger ventures. Elon Musk's latest successes are of that mold (which makes sense, when you consider that his latest businesses share more in common with old industrial ventures than dotcoms; Zip2 and PayPal gave venture capitalists and other partners the confidence to back him on Tesla and SpaceX).

Rockefeller did that for example before creating Standard Oil. He built up a sterling reputation first working as a bookkeeper, then as a partner at a trading firm. He got to know the owners of capital in doing so. At times during the early years he required extraordinary sums of capital, his reputation enabled him to raise it in an evening by riding around town and meeting personally with bankers. He did that once to buy out a large shareholder who had become conflictory; and other times to acquire businesses quickly.

Henry Ford went through multiple iterations of messing around with commercializing his creations (including the Henry Ford Company), before finally founding The Ford Motor Company. After his very early experiments with vehicles, his later efforts all required the support of financiers and lots of capital. Over time he had demonstrated a knack for pulling complex engineering efforts together and attracting talented people.

Edison always had capital backers for each of his major commercialization efforts. He operated his own lab (at times funded by outside capital) and then typically made arrangements for each set of inventions with financiers to take them from prototype to commercialization and distribution. Nikola Tesla had some similar backing arrangements at times, although his history in business was even more haphazard.

Before George Westinghouse founded Westinghouse Electric (which is what made him particularly famous in the era), he started with The Westinghouse Air Brake Company, which he founded at 23 years old. And even before that, he started by creating useful industrial inventions, receiving the first patent for a rotary steam engine at 19 and a bunch of smaller railroad-related inventions, before striking commercial gold with the air brake.

The GPU they were licensing from Imagination was already very tailored to their needs. Apple already had a strong saying in the architecture, in the driver, in the compiler and in the implementation details of the GPU they were buying from them.

Moving to a "custom GPU" was basically Apple saying "Ok, thanks, we are taking over from here".
That assumes the engineers can prioritize the tasks and can't just get the list of frequent issues from support.

Also it assumes that the engineers don't find a better way to deal with the support questions, such as canned "answers".

The version numbers are for negotiation purposes.

One reasonable thing to do when the remote peer says "I want to speak TLS 8.6" is to say "Oh, I'm afraid we only allow TLS 1.2 here" and insist on talking TLS 1.2 anyway.

But that's not what these boxes did. They go "TLS 8.6! Set Defence Condition One. Attack In Progress! Prepare For Immediate Nuclear Strike!" and they tear down the whole network connection.

They did this with every previous version of TLS. The accepted lesson at this point is that if these idiots CAN break something they will, we don't care whether it's because they're too stupid not to break it or because they're actively assholes breaking things so nobody can have nice things, it doesn't matter.

This is basically the network equivalent of that guy who just shoots anybody he doesn't recognise on his front step. We don't call that "a sane defensive measure" we call it murder, even if he thinks he was just on guard for "unanticipated behaviour" he's going to jail.

For me, it's a hopeless endeavor to keep track of stuff I want to read. So, if ever want to read something, I do read it right there, right then, or just hope that I'll remember that I bookmarked it somewhere and will be able to get to it at some point in the future when I have to. Depending on the device/site I am on, I do one of the following, and then end up never really coming back to it.

- bookmark the page

- add to "read later" on Chrome

- add to "reading list" on Safari

- clip to Evernote

- click "favorite" on HN

Indeed; they're either unwilling to pay the market rate for the labour _or_ they are unwilling to train.

Any time an employer states that they cannot find a _suitable_ candidate for a position it is an admission that they are unwilling to train.

I've stopped trying to remember things to consume. So no lists. To echo others here, read it now, or if you forget about it, it wasn't worth reading probably.

Where I think it's important to flip this is "keep track of all the things you want to produce" instead. All the article ideas, product ideas.

I keep a list now of hundreds of things I want to write or vlog about. I'm constantly surprised by how many good ideas I forget because I forgot to write them down. "What was that great anecdote I wanted to share?"

And it's this insanely important list now. When I'm in the inevitable i-couldnt-be-creative-to-save-my-life state, there's this giant list of things I came up with when I was in a much more creative mood.

Saving a list of all those threads has been the only way I could have kept up making a new video every single day for so many stretches. It's maximized my creativity.
> more of a tech demo than a product

It is neither a tech demo nor a product, it is a mature open source project.

In fact, in my mind tech demos tend towards having fewer mature components.

> Redis, Postgres, Rabbitmq and Memcached just to run a chat

That set of dependencies seems quite normal to me for a mature project. Mastodon (the most popular open-source-twitterish-thing) has a similar set of dependencies, and is also effectively just chat as you say.

Discourse, a popular open source forum, is also basically just chat, and has a similar set of dependencies.

In the case of zulip, you can even use a hosted version and avoid running anything yourself.

I don't understand why its totally normal set of dependencies turns you off so harshly.
I'll happily take a project using redis/postgresql/etc instead of trying to build its own versions of those baked into the binary because components like postgres/redis/etc have great documentation, tooling for metrics and monitoring, etc... If the project bakes its own stuff in itself to avoid taking on dependencies, I doubt it will either be as good or as easy to manage.
But you can index UTF-8 strings with precomputed bookmark indices (byte offsets) just fine. Point is, to precompute them, you would surely have iterated the string before.

What I mean is that "extract the 42th codepoint/glyph/whatever from this UTF-8 string" is a pointless operation for free-form strings because in a free-form string the character position is meaningless.

(Basically all non-ASCII UTF-8 is pretty much a black box. You can't do serious computation with general Unicode because it's so complex and, as a consequence, ill-defined in practice).
On Firefox I use great extension Totally not Panorama [0] which gives old tab-groups-like feature. This gives me ability to group tabs around interests. It's like multiple workspaces in a desktop environment.

However most of the time I just open a lot of tabs. First I read some low-effort click-bait that I do not deeply care about. Then I read something that I'm actually interested in, but it's somewhere in the middle. Then I'm left with articles of perceived high-quality or high interest. I will read a few of them within a week or so. The rest will remain for even a couple of weeks. After a while I will either read them or just close the tab when I finally see that I don't care much about it. Also I read too many comments on HN.

I'm not proud of this.

One should always remember Strugeon's law [1] - "ninety percent of everything is crap". It may be worth it more to aim higher or just go for a walk than read crap.

While I'm at it, I was thinking about a title filter. I would like to filter out all content titled "N things you should know" or "N apps for something" entirely. Also personally probably all content about corporate machinations - be it Google or Apple.

Another thing would be from around the top of my too long todo list. An HTML-only browser that would index and possibly store all retrieved text - enabling full-text search through whole local archive. Then I would not worry about loosing some potentially relevant information. Bonus for it being HTML-only - no more position:fixed or sticky bars at the top, no GDPR or cookie fluff and no more JS tracking or otherwise.

So after reading the NIH study it looks like the compost toilets they tested were the desiccation kind. I don't really think those should be called compost toilets at all. There's some link somewhere that I can't remember off the top of my head ( maybe it's in the humaure handbook) where Jenkins talks about having his compost sent to a local lab to be tested for harmful bacteria for like a decade or something and it always came back fine.

It all depends. Usually schools stagger arrival times to maximize bus trips, especially in urban areas where desegregation or integration with public transit required suboptimal routing (from a distance POV).

My neighbors kid has a middle schooler who starts at 7:30 and a 1st grader who starts at 9:30!

Personally, I went to a rural district with an 8:05 start time. The bus picked me up at 6:40AM, and I typically didn't see daylight outside of school in December.

As far as I know, 'markers' reflect metabolic/functional attributes in malignant cells. The question about any type of cancer is wether you can target the malignant cells somewhat exclusively or not. Does the cancer retains healthy features as pathways to cell arrest or apoptosis? Is its metabolism so rapid, to make it's growth distinct over a certain time frame? Is its growth influenced by external signalling? Can the immune system find the malignant cells? The problem really is that cancer is often very heterogeneous, which means a targeted treatment might not kill all of it, leading to evolutionary drive and resistant reoccurrence. The more control mechanisms lost, the wilder the mutations. So worst case, you got cells that behave nothing like a normal cells, but generally can't be distinguished/targeted on a cellular level AND are not localized lesions anymore.

So, no, I don't think so. To theoretically transfer a distinct marker to all cancer cells, you'd need a distinct target in the first place.
