Despite a lot of small satellites going up on SpaceX rockets, they aren't the ones pulling in large amounts of money for SpaceX. Most of the small satellite launches (with the exception of the recent SSO-A mission) are secondary payloads on a larger launch.

There is a lot of demand for smaller launchers. With smaller launch vehicles you can get more flexibility in what orbit you want to go in to. On the larger launches, the small satellite manufacturers have to adapt somewhat to the launches that are available. There is demand from both the commercial and DoD [1].

Not that I agree with him, but in Peterson's defense he talks about lobsters just to show how fundamental the mechanisms related to hierarchies are in animals (point being they have existed for hundreds of millions of years, so they must be really important).

I still don't get why the author thinks it's OK to assign blame to 538 for readers interpreting things incorrectly when Nate clearly spends a significant amount of time trying to educate the readers on how to interpret.

It makes no sense to me to hold 538 accountable for readers interpretations of the data. If I wander into some realm of science I'm unfamiliar with (say, quantum mechanics) and start making false inferences from it, does that mean the scientists were misleading me?

At its core, facebook contains a useful service. It's messaging capabilities are good, and the fact that identities and connections facebook are persistent effectively combats the problem that plagued much of the early internet: constantly changing pseudonyms and emails. I know that it is not necessary, but it is convenient. Additionally, its support for multimedia posts, links, profiles and other adds a nice, rich experience.

Unfortunately, many of the internet's great consumer businesses were built on this premise that advertising will pay for everything. That premise has been a good one for many years now, but, advertisers are getting savvier, and the addressable market is getting addressed pretty well. yes, there is room for growth, but, for many advertisers, that growth is not inside their target markets. While targeted marketing does provide value, I think it is an open question "how targeted is enough targeted?" Meaning that there is not definitive and universal data on where the benefits of less privacy really result in positive outcomes for advertisers. I would guess that in many cases greater accuracy in audience targeting does not result in statistically significant improvements in conversions when balanced against the increased cost of hyper targeted vs semi targeted ads. I am sure this depends heavily on many factors.

The challenge, though, is that facebook has to grow revenue, and, they have pursued this with advertisers by attempting to differentiate their ad products on the basis of hyper targeting. they do have differentiated ability to do this, and it gives them a competitive edge. It means that they spend the majority of their time building products that the liminal areas around personal privacy and ethics.

This puts them in a very difficult spot, because many of their competitors in the ad business are doing the same thing, and trying to get the same level of detail. Google has not launched multiple social networks just for the fun of it...they did it to serve their customers.

The monetization and differentiation that facebook has pursued has pushed them to be on the bleeding edge of selling granular, user-specific data. This seems unlikely to change without an outside force to force a change of behavior in their competitors as well. If you take away the competitive pressure to do something (by making it illegal, for example) then it can avoid further progress in this arms race.
Wouldn’t the labor theory of value HAVE to have taken into account not only the work (physics term) but also the “velocity” of the work?

In other words, the utility of the work.

Running four laps on a quarter mile track gets you nowhere (same as digging a hole) but it’s obvious to see one experiences physical gain from performing such an activity.
It's really tough to time a recipe. Especially, because Blue Apron has so many whole foods that need peeling and cutting--it's not like you just put it in the oven and set a timer. I do think their estimations are a bit idealistic. I've seen the prep times vary 2-3x depending on who in the family makes it.

One thing I've noticed that can improve prep times is taking a basic knife skills class. You'll notice grandmothers who have been cooking for decades are often pretty clunky with a knife. There are still some things that you have limited control over that will slow you down: counter space, kitchen layout, sink size, or what bowls and pots you have.

Years ago I feel like they had more leftovers. Usually, it was the side dish where they gave you a whole head of cabbage instead of half to prep. It was usually mentioned in the recipe. I had been meaning to look back to see if they amended the recipes when they repeated them removing the leftovers--but I haven't used Blue Apron in probably a year now.

I'm glad you learned that roasting vegetables are dead simple and delicious. I feel like growing up with canned and boiled vegetables this was somehow a well kept secret until recently. But there are other meal-kits out there that vary widely on complexity and prep time.

> So the thief (or whoever) can sue this person

Ah, see, but lack of enforcement from the police goes both ways!

If the police are unwilling to go after petty theft cases, why would they bother with the even smaller crime of "wiretapping" thieves?

Is the opportunist thief likely to have the resources to go after you for this? Almost certainly not.

And even then, it is additionally unlikely that a judge and jury would convict and punish someone. Stories, narratives, and being perceived to be "in the right" go a long way in the criminal justice system, which is enforced by people, not the legal words on a piece of paper.
I figured that was a typo for 2.7. But even then there are relatively few areas that need some touchup from 2.7 -> 3.5, and most of those are mechanical changes like having parens around print statements.

The average SNAP benefit is $126 a month. According to Blue Apron, their price per serving is $10 plus shipping. At their lowest tier, Blue Apron costs $50 a week for 4 servings.

Neither Blue Apron nor SNAP recipients could survive off of one another.
My family has had the same apartment in Queens since 1916. It'll go to my brother at some point in the future. An outlier for sure but plenty of the people I grew up with were in multi generational apartments and expected to be the next generation to take it over.

It's targeting a narrow intersection of people who are rich enough to pay $10 per serving for a meal, have the time to cook every night, and are okay with the lack of customizability in ingredients.[1]

We considered it but it made no sense for us. It would save us a little money versus eating out all the time, but it doesn't solve the time problem (my wife and I both get home around 7:30 or 8:00 and need to get the family fed immediately). It reduces grocery shopping time, but we do that on the weekend where we actually have a couple of hours to spare, unlike after work.

I would rather see a high-end TV dinner service.

If it correctly understands peanutS, it will classify it as "more likely 2 items" considering it would check everything against some sort of dictionary. Which contains "peanuts, butter, peanut butter".

PS. I implemented something similar without machine learning and that's how i did it. With text it's easier though, i suppose in NLU it could have a parameter for "pause time between words" which could also contribute to a different conclusion.
These are good points. Somewhat tangentially, I think my gripe with recommendation algorithms is simply my lack of control. If I had some knobs to fiddle with, I'm sure I could tune it to surface way more diversified content that I'm interested in.

Particularly with YouTube, I've recently gotten the feeling that their algorithm has pigeon-holed me into a couple different interests, and I rarely see videos outside those recommended to me. Even if it were just a slider from "our best guess <------> throw in some risky recs", it would feel a lot better.

Hard to believe how many people are concerned by that. So a cowardly thief gets glitter bombed and you are worried that they will come back!! Imagine how much worse it would get for them.
This is true; it's very confusing to me why people insist that useless labour counts as valuable. Neither Adam Smith nor Ricardo and certainly not Marx actually held a labour theory of value in which objects which are not firstly of demand are valuable. Not only that, but the theory doesn't even attempt to draw normative conclusions about whether the theory is just or not.

My advice is that if one is going to talk about political economy (or the history of economics) then one ought to read the text themselves rather than assuming caricatures as if the proponents of such theories were truly idiots. Smith, Ricardo and Marx were extremely intelligent people.

The point was that the package owner can make the situation worse for themselves by engaging in a revenge scheme. It highly depends on the local criminal culture. I some countries, I can see a gang deciding that the homeowner needs to be "taught a lesson". Police might catch them even, but the package owner might be in the hospital or morgue by then.

This is the one I've never been able to get past. For what these services cost, I can have someone else prepare my meal that will taste just as good or better. Why would I not do that?

I get if you're trying to learn to cook or something like that, but that only sounds like a temporary problem.
When I was a young kid, my mom once told me that she never wanted to hear of me committing a crime I couldn't retire on. She doesn't remember saying it, this was an offhand statement when we saw a news item about someone stealing $20 from a gas station and doesn't really reflect how she looks at things AFAIK.

Oddly, it really stuck in my mind and was present when I decided not to be peer pressured into a few incidents. It changed the equation - it wasn't about fear of getting caught, which everyone was saying wouldn't happen, it became about BEING STUPID, which would be true regardless. What's more, it wasn't an outright "don't do this", but instead "do this only if" which also changed the evaluation (It wasn't "I must be good, always"). Of course, I never HAD the chance to do a crime I would retire on when I was a kid, so the end result was that I lived generally crime-free.

Later I developed my own sense of morals and criteria on why to do/not do things, but I really feel like that advice helped me avoid potential problems in life before I reached that point. I recommend the advice to all new parents, though I don't think anyone has taken me up on the advice yet :)
Serious question then... what's the deterrent? Sounds like a person could spend all day looking for packages, resell the contents, at the risk of just paying a small fee if one happens to prosecute...
Unfortunately, it's becoming a pretty common problem. Here in Portland, the police is understaffed, largely because the hiring process is insane. (It can take a full year to complete the background check - so onboarding new officers is a slow process.) Thus, they prioritize responding to violence or possible major damage - given the high number of homeless addicts on Portland streets, it's unfortunately frequent. Even home break ins wont warrant much investigation time, just a report, unless there is a violent act to go along with it.

So, I have no problem believing Mark when he said police weren't interested. It's definitely par for the course here in Portland. I would imagine that in other areas, it's similar.

We have a lot of homeless people in our area just walking around. I see "package stolen" notifications on Nextdoor pretty much every other day.

How funny, because Wylbur was a large improvement on the default at the time, MVS's TSO (Time-Sharing Option). Wylbur was miles easier and faster than TSO.

So, not actually 'the worst system with remote batch' because that trophy would go to TSO.
I forward all my UPS packages to a local grocery store and pick up from there. If I don't do this, UPS will try to deliver up to 3 times and then leave it in a remote warehouse for me to pick up.

>3 (syntax) seems to be about not supporting the author's own highly idiosyncratic habits

Yeah, I don't get the author at all. Using indentation is so, so, so, so, much cleaner and easier to understand, even with lots of nesting than trying to figure out if you closed all the stupid curly braces, curly braces be damned.
Agree with everything you said and I don’t think mealkits are the problem, BlueApron isn’t sufficiently addressing the biggest pain point—time. We used BlueApron but moved to Gobble. The dishes tastes better and it takes 1/2 to 1/3 the time to cook compared to BlueApron. That’s less dishes as well so cleanup is fast. I suspect BlueApron is suffering because competitors are better addressing customer needs, not because mealkits are a bad idea.
And that is a very narrow intersection, hence the penny stock status. I knew Blue Apron was going to fail when my Mom kept trying to give me hers that were going to go rotten soon.
Any company on this list[1] can send a delegate to a TC39 meeting, and at most meetings there are generally around 45ish people, from lots and lots of different companies and perspectives.

Increased physical strength is a result. Judging the product of the work instead of the difficulty of the work is a departure from the labor theory of value. The labor theory of value is not very highly regarded for this reason.

It really depends on what you are protecting. In many cases, no one is going to build a custom script to defeat your custom captcha method of they just want to spam your comments section. The problem with widely used systems is that it is more efficient to write a bot to circumvent them and then look for others who use the same captcha system.
Indeed, and what does `clean_fork` mean? I don't disagree that it has some value, defining associated actions for the resources being served, I was more questioning how universal this approach could ever be.

And bear in mind `<a rel="clean" href="http://example.com/database/clean">` would have a very different semantic meaning from `<a rel="clean href="http://example.com/fork/clean">` or what have you.

I agree that semantic actions are a thing it'd be nice to solve and I wanted to make sure this discussion on REST touched on the fact that semantic actions are something they tried to solve. But they didn't, we've assigned common meaning to common verbs (which is pretty sweet on its own) but everything else isn't discoverable.

If you were a rather dumb client interface and got a `<a rel="clean_fork">` what would you do with that inherently except say "It isn't delete or put or patch, so I don't know what this does"
> What's the crime?

That's a ridiculous question. It's theft. Which is illegal.

> If they plead guilty, they probably would just get a small fine

1) That's only if it's their first time.

2) It reduces future crime. With the current attitude (like yours) more criminals are incentivized to steal packages.
Was there another common factor that linked these people? You mentioned that the one's in Oxford were from the university? They tend to be a bit older and to think they're better than other people (joking!!). And old institutions do tend to drag a bit.

But you are right there is a 'class' element, like how you speak, where you went to school, that isn't just money. It does seem to be going, luckily.
