If it's mostly America/Bay Area I would propose the following explanation:

Conventional employers/clients (e.g. your friendly diesel manufacturer) spend money on developers when they have a problem they want solved, they love expensive freelancers: if they could they would fly in a squad of experts, get a solution for a single lump sum payment and then hand it over for maintenance to that underpaid slob they keep in the basement.

Overfunded startups as well absurdly profitable SV success stories are a very different story. Building a talent pool is a core investment for them. In many cases they would rather have one good hire than two good ones and two bad because their immediate needs are already met and low performing hires are avoided not so much because of another head on the payroll, but because talent dilution is impossible to undo. They are not interested in adding quantity, but building quality teams is just the way they spend their money. Offers will be either high or nonexistent, and freelancers not welcome.
Misandry.
What is kind of funny is that people here like to pay more for 'organic' food because they think it's more healthy. But what comes from the greenhouse is so lab-grown it's more healthy than anything. Those labs also don't like to use pesticides because it's unhealthy for the workers and plants as well. They use insects to control pests.

The only problem with greenhouse food is that it tastes like nothing. A tomato grown on soil has much more taste than grown on water.

I’d love something like that. Even if I had to buy say $10 a month and had some credits to burn down each month. I don’t however want to subscribe to every news outlet. There are only a handful of articles I’d read from each.
I hope someone does run but I'm not optimistic they would deliver.

I am biased. I hate regulation because it isn't applied fairly.

My gf's parents had their dry cleaner business shut down by NY state, who fined them $50,000 for allegedly failing to dispose of chemicals. They never paid, NY state never sued.

However, Lawrence Aviation Co DID dump chemicals in NY state that permanently destroyed the water supply in Port Jefferson NY.

The owner was fined $100,000, a small percentage of his networth compared to my gf's parents who are paycheck to paycheck.

He served 1 year in prison despite potentially poisoning the 100,000 people who were on the local water supply.
I thought you'd spelled oligopoly incorrectly, then I googled.

I'm always wondering - how can people that are determined enough to access the dark web and buy crypto, and willing to instigate a murder, fall for such obvious scams? Do they really think the mafia hosts front sites for anyone to browse and order through? What, do they think they give discounts and fidelity cards as well?
There's also http://algo.inria.fr/flajolet/Publications/book.pdf. The first chapter of this book is more or less equivalent to generatingfunctionology, but has a more modern flavour.
There are lot of fatal crashes in cities as well, because going 30 while getting hit frontally by a speedster at 60 is still releasing 90dv of energy and that scales quadratically with speed

How does everyone have so much trouble with Facebook and Twitter? I have both and have used both for years and I know that both require you to pick what you want to look at. I exhaust my Twitter feed in seconds and then have nothing to look at.

Both my FB feed and my Twitter feed are more heartwarming, adorable, funny, or touching than angry or whatever. Maybe all of this is just a reflection of who you guys are.

And I'm no stranger to controversy. Ban the bomb, no war, I've been there. Where I haven't been is Twitter/FB flamewars. And you know how? I unfollow as soon as I don't like. It's not the end of the world.
Only problem is that dutch vegetables have no taste and are still insane expensive compared to meat (which is also tasteless). So yeah, awesome thinkering and efficiency here, but quality is not there.

Belief is similar to an idea but a little different. An idea is similar to a theory while belief is more similar to an absolute. This is why belief goes hand in hand with religion and faith; which are two other concepts that I dislike. Thinking an idea may be true is vastly different than knowing so. When someone “knows” something is true they can almost never be convinced otherwise. Belief in a religion or an inherent superiority has enabled the great atrocities of our world and that is the main reason for my dislike of the concept. I would be naive to think that I do not have beliefs and it’s important to note that I am not devoid of belief but it is something I work towards eliminating in my life. Ask any militant, religious fanatic or terrorist what they BELIEVE in and you’ll quickly realize that people are willing to die for some pretty ridiculous things. Someone has taken their trusting demeanor and convinced them into the belief that they are righteous and justified in their actions. Today in America that force is Network Television. They repeat and repeat until one believes. I was raised in an evangelical Christian community and I’ve seen first hand how senseless things can become when belief is involved. My first love is computer science but my muse is philosophy/political science so I’m not surprised you haven’t run into my ideas yet; I’m often on the edge of what is mainstream. I’m actually writing a book on the concept of belief, which I’m happy to share with you when it’s done. My hope is that we can step away from the concept and usher in a new era of science and exploration because right now we’ve stagnated.
I ahree that GPs should be put in A&E departments.

People think the NHS is one big monolithic organisation, but it isn't.

We have NHS England who don't provide any services, but who commission some specialist services. Then we have 195 Clinical Commissioning Groups. These are regional organisations who again don't provide any services, but who comission services from other provider organisations. We have a bunch of trusts - mental health trusts, acute trusts, community care trusts (and combinations of these), and then we have a bunch of GPs.

In same places you'll have a 24 hour GP walk in centre close to A&E, with plenty of signage telling people of the wait times. (Swindon Hospital does this).

In some places you'll have out of hours GPs located at A&E, but weirdly to access these you have to go via a phone line call to 111.

So, yes, it's something I find frustrating.
I've done it frequently myself when I've changed a line that I originally wrote myself in a way that invalidates a comment written directly above.
I have adopted one convention: If I need to act on something later, I put a box to its left. Once I acted on it, I tick it off with a checkmark.

For example, during I a meeting I realize a problem in our software which is unrelated to the actual meeting agenda. I jot down a box and a few words in my college notepad. Later, when I have a few minutes, the "few words" are expanded into a proper ticket in our issue tracker and the box is ticked off.

I strive to tick off every box in my notepad by the end of the day. Sometimes that just means writing it down elsewhere (Email, electronic todo list, OneNote, Jira, etc).

I believe that premature abstraction is terrible. But in some cases good abstractions may help with handling complexity and may make testing easier. I have a feeling that because authors say that this class should not be changed / refactored, they failed to introduce a good abstraction. This also implies that their tests are inadequate.
Where's the test ? How people test this piece of code ?
Test is what matters, automatic or manual.
Data, Data, Data Steve Ballmer Looks at the Numbers Behind US Education
But what does that mean for a global group? Seriously?

For example: I help run a large art group on facebook. (Large = 76,975 members). While the breakdown of our group shows the largest percentage of folks in the group are from the US (20k), lots of folks are from India (15k).. and the rest are from elsewhere in the world. We list ourselves as global. The unpaid admins and moderators are from different countries and times zones. We use Translate functions at times.

What localisation do we have? Do we have a choice? If one admin is in Norway, can we use a Norwegian model of nudity censorship instead of the more restrictive American or Indian or Facebook models of "acceptable" nudity? Can you list locally with one admin even if your demographics do not fit? Do large countries always have the advantage? If demographics change, does the censorship style?

These are all issues with "local" or national level censorship, and I dont' think there is an easy answer.

Once as a teenage (somewhere in the early 90s) I was watching a thunderstorm in suburban Sydney. I saw lightning strike (probably 5-10km) away, then a couple of seconds after the strike from about where the lightning hit, a blue 'bubble' (though with diffuse edges) rose (as though inflating) then fell/deflated over the course of a few seconds.

I've never gotten a good explanation for what it was, though this picture makes me think lightning struck an electricity sub station, caused a brief electrical fire which lit up the sky as it got more intense, then died off.

That sound's awfully like postmodernism which is terrible everywhere it's applied, not only programming.

you can tell macOS to use AAC using an Apple tool called "Bluetooth Explorer". Also, Macs equipped with a T2 chip default to using AAC even without the manual intervention.

You can check what codec is used by alt-clicking the bluetooth icon in your menu bar and hovering over your headphones. There will a an "Active Codec" entry that shows which one is used (during playback).
I understand that you feel that Electron isn’t worth optimising, and your answer offers up a good alternative to Electron.

However, this is an interesting question in and of itself, and I think it’s worth hearing out the answers. Could be some interesting techniques to pick up and reapply elsewhere.
I can concur to this. I have a friend from Italy where he worked during the summers at family farms down south where they produced tomatoes the natural way. Eating tomatoes in Netherlands is like eating paper, he said. The same goes for lettuce. There is no taste and it goes bad/degrades much faster even if you keep it in the refrigerator

Even though I know it'd be better, I can't rationalize the time investment needed to port the subset of distribution that I use into a standalone config. Despite being very opinionated, I think spacemacs gets many things right by default, for example everything being evilified, linting and code completion working out of the box, the popup that shows all possible next code sequences, etc.

I do wish there was something more lightweight, but until I'm annoyed enough about that, I'll stick with the current state.

Code can and should be a form of high-level communication too. In a well-structured program, the high-level code will explain the high-level context, and the low-level detailed code will explain the low-level details.
Re thermal mass.

Could you not section of the part of the freezer with the cooling elements, and fill with water.
You could then cool that below zero increasing the effectiveness of the thermal mass.

You'd also get some freezer space into the bargain.

The only issue would be passively moving cold into the fridge proper.
I know greenhouses use wax cylinders that expand in heat to open louvre vents, I wonder whether something like that would work.
The same applies everywhere in Europe outside of Italy and France.

If the libraries produce 128-bit values, then they could use Postgresql's UUID type. In fact, Postgresql should accept anything as a UUID in text mode as long as the value is in hex with a length of either 32 or 36 (32 + 4 dashes), though using binary mode would probably be faster if the UUID library and your driver support that.

We've been using sortable epoch-based UUIDs as primary key for two different software products, storing them in Postgresql with the builtin UUID type, utilising binary mode. Performance is good.

TL;DR: Effective January 1, 2019, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will require hospitals to make available a list of their current standard charges via the Internet in a machine readable format and to update this information at least annually, or more often as appropriate. This could be in the form of the chargemaster itself or another form of the hospital’s choice, as long as the information is in machine readable format. The Affordable Care Act 2015 included a requirement for all hospitals to establish, update and make public a list of the hospital’s “standard charges” for items and services provided by the hospital however the 2015 rule did not require them to do so via the internet as the new rule specifies.

- The solution can involve setting up my own server if required.

- Privacy should be put as highest priority.

The region is called the Valley and it is - thanks to Wageningen University - a world leader in agricultural research. So the name makes sense.

Boeing makes safer airplanes than the FAA requires.

For example, twin engines are statistically safer than more engines, and Boeing had to lobby the FAA to allow them over water.

For another, Boeing wings do not have hydraulics that extend past the engines. Torque tubes are used to transmit power further. This is so that a major engine failure won't damage the hydraulic system. This was not a requirement until a crash from another manufacturer's airplane was due to such damage, and Boeing airplanes were not susceptible to that failure mode.

Your theories about how the industry works are speculation.

Since python is relatively easy, your best bet is probably to just dive in and see how far you get before you're stuck.

well let us be honest here. that 50% crosses both political sides and isn't just limited to what they spend on vehicle purchases. A more common example than your slightly extreme car choice would be in cell phones. people line up to buy thousand dollar cell phones all the time when phones that are half if not a quarter of that work just fine.

This is what makes any free country work. Respect for private property which includes money earned from one's labor to make the purchases wanted without recrimination by the government we live under.

As for trucks, most actually are used to haul something but just like passenger cars many will have time where they are not fully employed to the extent their ability permits. just driving into work the majority of cars carry only a fourth of the people they could carry and many of them can be fifty, sixty, or even more tens of thousands of dollars.
