This has its roots in a very strong anti-nuclear movement from the seventies. Why it was that strong in Germany, I don't know. But there is a Wikipedia article – maybe it has some information for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-nuclear_movement_in_Germa....
Yes, it was a sucker bet. The funds Protege picked were actually funds of funds that basically had a .6 correlation to the S&P 500. So Buffett was almost guaranteed to win if the markets went up over 10 years, and lose if they went down. And it's very rare for the market to be down over a 10-year period.

Honestly I have no idea what Protege was thinking.
Why do you struggle with this in C#, especially given that you are familiar with the F# style? I don't know C#, but in Java I'd write this as:

public class Order {
final Optional<DeliveryDetails> delivery;

public Order(Optional<DeliveryDetails> delivery) {
this.delivery = delivery;
}
}

public class DeliveryDetails {
final long deliveryTimeMs;
...
public DeliveryDetails (long deliveryTimeMs,...) {
this.deliveryTimeMs = deliveryTimeMs;
...
}
}

My IDE writes most of these lines for me. I believe C# will have similar or more succinct constrcuts.
While I agree that the apparent profile quality seems better on Bumble, I get an order of magnitude fewer matches through that service. My bet is Tinder became the de facto dating app (and has taken on the generic name for dating apps), which brings the bots and the abuse. The bots will follow the community if it leaves Tinder.
Actually it's materially important. To think the politics of science doesn't impact what results come out of the scientific industrial complex is a view sharply divorced from reality.

Politics is a deep vein that runs through absolutely everything and it has a big impact and oftentimes it's not obvious what the impact is.

Science is as much about the politics of science as it is about an empirical quest to find the truth.

Look at the history of Bayes Theorem as a relatively good example.

Even in science ideas don't win purely on merit. They require marketing and political support too.

Just to take two examples in the news from the last few months here in Sweden. The police has announced that they will not investigate illegal workers in the construction industry next year, because if they did they would find crime and then that department would not have any time left to investigate other industries.

It is also official policy to not investigate theft below of $500, unless special circumstances. Because of this many stores has refused to file police reports, which the state statisticians then complained on national news since that limits their ability to make accurate reports to the politicians on how much crime exist.
The sad state of being able to use Ubuntu on touch devices (hint: you can't)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1807250

So, apparently support for an entire bus class has been missing since ubuntu bionic (18.04 LTS) was released in april. Using kernels from other distros or ubuntus old xenial 4.4.0-134 all provide access to sensor data, suggesting the issue is with current (and shipped) kernels. Three weeks into this not much is happening.

This all suggests that pretty much no one has been using ubuntu on touch devices otherwise i wouldn't be the first one to notice this. Now that the devs know this they have no time for it...

What's a shame is they didn't compare it to far superior devices in the same price range like the Nvidia Shield or the OSMC Vero 4k. The fact that you can't stream all 4k HDR content on a device billed as 4k is pretty unforgivable (you have to create specific files tuned for the AppleTV). Add to that a lack of native support for standard lossless audio formats that have existed for 12 years(DTS-HD/MA) and it just isn't viable for a home theater.
It takes out the entire creativity process of cooking, and for people who actually like cooking on a higher level also the process of selecting the right ingredients.

I don’t understand the whole shopping part, it would seem to be pretty clear to me that any place that is serviced by Blue Apron should have a service for groceries to be delivered as well, in fact it’s highly unlikely that they won’t.

I order all my groceries online in London, primarily been using Ocado but Amazon has also now has much wider offering with Amazon Fresh since they offer their own, Morrisons and Planet Ogranic goods.

Every large supermarket chain here offers a delivery service, it also doesn’t cost anything extra but there is usually a minimum (usually £50) for that.

Many of them even would unpack the bags for you if you ask them.

If you really want to go to the recipe route then Ocado and many other groceries delivery services also do that so you can select a meal and how many people and they’ll add the ingredients for you to your shopping bag.

To me this seems a much better solution and service than Blue Apron.
Not Microsoft, thats for sure.

>there is a low utilization factor for each satellite

So we are getting to the limits of my knowledge here, but I believe that this won't be as big of an issue simply because sats aren't JUST communicating with the ground, they are communicating with each other as well. The routing system will take sub-optimal paths (from what you'd expect) to ensure speeds stay as high as possible and latency as low as possible (with i'm guessing some tweaking of those 2 values when near the limit), and a lot of those are going to include crossing those large oceans and deserts which will keep those sats busy, and will even route toward those large underutilized areas to spread the load out.

>Second, there is a belief that the next billion new Internet users are going to be mobile users

I think this is where the concept of base stations really shine. Rather than pulling fiber to all of your cell towers, you can get those "fiber quality" speeds by just having power and a place to put the tower.

This means propping up new "traditional" cell towers is much cheaper (for customers of Starlink anyway!) and those mobile users could be using Starlink without even knowing it.

>In the developed world, Internet access is frequently bundled with other services, so the potential pool of flexible customers that could be wooed away from their current service isn't that large, either.

This is entirely anecdotal, but I'm 28 years old, and out of all of my friends and family, only my Father has cable. TV over the internet, and streaming services are taking over, and public sentiment isn't exactly high for the traditional internet service providers. Many (at least in the US) feel they don't have a choice, and if Starlink ends up being as well loved by the public at large as SpaceX or Tesla is, then I have a feeling not only will people be willing to switch, but they will jump at the chance!

Though a lot of that is assuming that tesla targets most home users(which I'm not sure if they are).

>Once fiber gets to your premises, it will be much cheaper ber byte than satellite Internet.

It may be cheaper, but it might not be as low latency! Turns out Starlink might be able to get lower latencies across continents than traditional fiber can currently achieve. Obviously it's still up in the air if they will be able to deliver on these numbers, but if they can then there might be a small portion of users who will be willing to pay top dollar for reliable low latency connections.

But taking off my fan hat, I agree that there are still a lot of unanswered questions about starlink, and if it ends up like most of SpaceX's other promises, it will be downgraded at least once in "performance", end up about 10% more expensive than expected, and a few years late, but still amazing.

It may not be the next comcast powering a huge portion of the "last mile" of the internet as we know it, but I'm hopeful it will be a great alternative that can improve things for a significant number of people, and hopefully pays off well for SpaceX.

> It would be interesting to read your take on the engineering problems involved, the design tradeoffs

self - the reason is that I forget to type it and causes me to go back and fix the method signature or method call (there are usually lots of them in the code, so lots of opportunities to forget self - hence lots of instances where it can be omitted so that it must be fixed, at least for me; the remark is a gripe about ergonomics of syntax)

The alternative: do a different keyword for method definitions other than def; (well, still you need something to differentiate between method invocation and global function call in an untyped language)

: at the end of function definition or a block - same thing.

KeyError if dict entry not found; most other languages I know would return None, so that's counter intuitive to me (I know about get, but [ ] is the default syntax for accessing dictionaries in most languages)
I know it will cause an undefined method call to bomb, which is a good thing in my book; but I don't like it for data structure access - I also don't like exception handling in particular and prefer explicit checking of results (again matter of taste and habit + frequent cause to go back and fix it)

I think python is making several tradeoffs in favor of making the resulting script more robust (like going for exception handling) but it makes the experience of writing said script a bit more tricky.

When I switched to Python, the one thing I predicted I'd hate is the forced indentation.

Works out of the box until you're missing a distro package that is required to build a dependency that needs to be compiled from source.

I've never used maven so I don't know if it is better or worse, but I am not a fan of languages having their own package management system that has not integration with the distro one (which probably also offers some of the same packages, and mixing them breaks things in subtle, annoying ways).
As a developer that worked mostly for companies that really like to build stuff in-house, it was my understanding that startups build on top of frameworks to be scrappy / create the most value per hour of work, and large businesses create their own frameworks / tooling, mainly because they have very specific needs.

Is my understanding wrong? Or, maybe this is mostly a PR thing?

PS: They do mention that they used to make in-house tooling, but then why transition? How is depending on a codebase that you have less control over an option when you have Netflix resources?

The potential shortage would happen during a cold spell, when people in housing with poor heating start using small electrical heaters in large numbers. This tends to happen in neighboring countries at the same time, so the amount of electricity available for import is low at those times.

The negative prices that you quote are very special cases due to wind conditions. The wind doesn't always blow when it is unusually cold.

Also, the power lines used for import have limited capacity, and there has been underinvestment there as well.

If you say freedom of expression is a human right,then how come no soldier or prisoner is afforded that right? Did they forfeit their humanity? If so,by what authority did they forfeit their own humanity?

Good feelings are bad because they are a warning sign of bad faith criticism. While honest feedback is unquestionably important, there are a great many people who criticize more for their own self indulgence than for the sake of others. It's a seductive enough trap that even well meaning people might wind up giving bad feedback simply because it feels good to criticize, all the while justifying it as helping someone who is not, in fact, left any better off.

When criticizing, it helps to have a clear reason why. It may be a good faith attempt to help the other person, or because their actions affect some other thing they are contributing to, or because their actions have unintended consequences for someone else. Regardless, there should be some benefit beyond one's own gratification. If you catch yourself enjoying the act of criticizing others, it's probably a good idea to doublecheck your motivations and results to make sure that it's actually for someone else's benefit.
I'm curious, where are you from? I live in Canada and no one carries around a gun except criminals.

This sounds a lot like learning an instrument. You should be practicing consistently in short bursts every day. You don't have to practice for more than an hour or two. The consistency is what's key. You'll develop better technique faster if you practice 30 minutes a day as opposed to 3.5 hours every Sunday.

Well, for one thing, they don't care about anonymity at all. And already implemented a mechanism to blacklist content hashes on the demand of law-enforcement agencies. Both these things essentially defeat the purpose of many enthusiasts who would use it -- and its only function remains that of a volunteer-driven p2p network for making sure certain data doesn't die.

I've spoken to a couple recruiters today who say it's uncommon for companies to reimburse applicants for travel, even if they have to get a flight from another state.

That does not jibe with my experience at all. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's more common for a company that expects you to fly, to buy the ticket for you up-front.

And as others have said: if a company expects you to pay for your own travel for a long distance interview, they're just outing themselves as a company that you don't want to work for anyway.

Personally, unless in an actual situation of pure desperation, I'd skip on pursuing any "opportunities" with companies that behave this way.

> transient dependency resolution is deterministic, so you don't have to worry about pinning/unpinning or anything like that

Is that true? I see a lot of pom.xml files specifying version ranges for dependencies. If I have a project specify a dependency that has its own dependencies with version ranges specified, then there doesn't seem to be an easy way for me to pin all the subdependency versions. (Yarn and npm both generate a lock file automatically, pinning all dependency and subdependency versions, which seems great.) It seems like I could specify all of the subdependencies in my own pom.xml file too with specific versions, but maven doesn't appear to make that easy to do.
