If you have a start an application that will face huge traffic on a daily basis what will be your ideal tech stack. Will you prefer GO, Python, Rails or Node?
I don't understand why there's so much resistance to having everybody save a huge amount of money while at the same time allowing everybody to be healthier. Boggles the mind.
On a general note I can only say people are not programming with their ears and listening to the music is good. But it was a closed question so I guess a closed answer is just fine :-).

I didn't realize assembly/programming services were that cheap and I'll definitely consider them for final runs of things in the future if it's a decent quantity like this. I'm just a hobbyist and I enjoy putting these things together, and most of the time it's just a handful of boards at once anyways so it's not a big deal.

The real issue was that I had ended up cutting a lot of corners to try and get things done in time, particularly with regards to testing. Definitely a major lesson learned.

The MCUs didn't take long to program with a ZIF socket, but once they were baked onto boards and I was finding bugs that needed to be fixed, that's where it really turned into a pain doing it over SPI.

After all of that, I still ended up having to bodge 2 connections on all of the final boards after all was said and done (which was the 5th or 6th board revision after I did small test runs to play with things and fix issues)
As an occasional FreeCAD user and contributor, this confuses me. Are you describing writing Python scripts to create your geometry from scratch, or maybe building models out of primitive shapes and boolean operations?

My usual FreeCAD workflow involves drawing constraints-based 2D shapes in Sketcher, then extruding/revolving them. There are some numbers typed in, but those are mainly just key dimensions.

One of FreeCAD's bigger faults IMHO is that the right/best way to do things isn't easily discoverable (as seems to be common in CAD), and the documentation (like many OSS projects) is a bit hit-and-miss...
Tech predictions for 2019: It gets worse before it gets better
See the literature on exact penalty methods. I believe the short of it is yes, for a large class of problems this works, but the new problem will not be necessarily easier to solve. In the case of the abs(.) function, the nonlinearity at 0 makes subgradient methods slow, and the large constant in front of the abs(.) might prove numerically unstable.
On our current trajectory, "who pays" isn't the most pressing issue. Suppose Medicare for All does save 10% as the article claims, if the cost just keeps rising then it only buys a little more time before no entity can foot the bill.

100 million people in the US have diabetes or pre-diabetes according to the CDC.[1] Diabetes costs $14,000/yr(?) and people are getting it at an earlier age and living longer. Of all the threats to the US, this one is particularly insidious.

There is also the concern that big pharma (along with big-sugar/corn) has too much influence over congress. The U.S. is the only country besides NZ to allow direct to consumer drug advertisement. That fact alone makes me lose faith in the government. Is it prudent to give more power and money to our government when they appear to be complicit and bereft of root cause solutions to address the rising cost ? Bloomberg, as NYC's mayor, seemed like the only politician who was willing to pass unpopular and extreme legislation by way of banning or limiting certain foods.

If you don't know, it is not clear that it makes zero sense. I'm often on each side of this, and what it really drives home is that most people do not actually consider most of the ways in which something can be done differently. :)

Yes and no. They made $30/hr in Des Moines or Chicago or other cities. There were profitable union slaughterhosues in New York into the 80s. Slaughterhouses were moved out to the country to break the unions, period. “Saving money” by being closer to farms is a contrived argument. A good place to start is the book “Fast Food Nation”.

Illegals are a symptom. The problems are industrial facilities with heavy manpower requirements, high turnover, designed to operate in a way that guarantees chronic medical problems with workers, placed in places with no people.

The big waves of Mexicans chose to move to places like rural Iowa in the 90s not out of a desire to break their bodies hacking at meat at high speed, but because trade policy flooded cheap corn into the market and exploded the Mexican agricultural economy.

Rural communities have been conned hook line and sinker. Their death began when the alliance between western resource barons and southern democrats (ie segregationists) began with Nixon. Trade policy, financial sector consolidation, offshoring of industrial economy dug the grave.

I grew up in a beautiful northeast rural community. It’s a shell of what it was when I was a child. All of the dairy operations are gone, and most of the full time farms will cease operations when the owners retire. The economy runs on social security, public assistance, government workers commuting up to 90 miles away, and a couple of small industrial operations. Nobody with any ability will stick around, and that has nothing to do with people trying to escape life in Central America.
I don't buy the idea that we have to pound the crap out of each other in a ring to prove that everyone is honest about their skills.

If you want to learn anything, you definitely need to spar; but sparring is not a competition, no one is actually trying to hurt anyone. The more experienced your partner is, the harder you can go without risking injury.

TKD suffers from the same sports virus as MMA if you ask me; just a different, less violent and more exotic flavor.
For hand assembly I usually break out all of the components into little iFixIt project trays and print out labels that correspond to the board, but when there are a bunch of components with the same value, I just put the value on the label instead, and use highlighters on to point them out on printouts so I don't spend forever hunting where to place them. Then, I just go one by one down each spot in each tray until I've populated a board, then I throw it in the oven and start on the next.

I believe drugs cost significantly less in other countries. I see no reason why research would fall. Companies are not the only ones capable of doing drug research. The Jonas Salk’s of the world mostly do research because it interests them and not because they are looking for millions of dollars in recompense.

I’m not a health care economist and have no expertise in the area but I do know that the following two facts suggests that we can implement a universal single payer healthcare system that is cheaper than our current system.

1. Per capital spending on healthcare in the U.S. far exceeds that of any other nation.

2. We currently have a national healthcare system for members of the military and the elderly.

Is it really hard to imagine that we can implement of a single payer healthcare system that is government run?
It's not as lucrative for some people that way.
This is the announcement of a new paradigm that Don has been thinking about recently, it is not meant to be practical advice for implementation. It imagines a world where a designer is not needed to create a product; a designer can help refine, share, or scale it. In tech it would be something like those non-programming work flows for the marketing departments, which are typically looked down upon by the technically knowledgable, but imagine if they instead took that as the inputs to design a better system.

(Disclosure: Don is a relative.)
The “toy” like appearance is pretty obviously an emergent side-effect.

Much less for wanting of an “I would NEVER!” attitude regarding the hypothesis of aiming these weapons at little kids; but more to the point, you cen see the intent of the design is generic and unassuming, and not actually coaxing of an audience.

It’s designed for air drop, so it has aerodynamic wings.

It’s a mine, so it needs to blend into the appearance of the terrain (all mines employ booby trap tactics on some level, since they cannot rely on people to use them to commit suicide).

It’s designed to harm military personnel, which are often model examples of some of your strongest humans; which, of course, means it will harm anything weaker than a physically fit 100KG person wearing boots, gloves, flak jacket and a helmet.

Mines, as a strategy, fall under the “area denial” category. That means blocking paths. Any path. Area denial means: NO HUMANS.

Actually, it means kill anything that moves, including animals. A cargo bay full of these things will stop a column of pregnant women, the elderly, people in wheel chairs. The scope of fittest below fully armed soldier has a lot of bycatch. Sometimes, mines are not even dolphin-safe.
Poor Steve, secretly wishes he could have had the constructive legacy of Stallman instead of his destructive consumerism.
When I make stuff I always have exact dimensions and positions I need to use so almost none of what I am doing can be freely drawn with the mouse. With openscad I can type in my exact values and be sure that nothing was accidentally moved by mouse.
ah, yes, that is completely true; some products are better produced in some areas than in other areas.

My argument is generalizing this to "if you fix things or otherwise provide services, you are better off fixing things or otherwise providing services to wealthy people than doing the same for people who are less wealthy" (edit: you can substitute "productive" for "wealthy" here, if you want to change 'are better off' to 'add more productivity to the system' in the previous sentence. Or you can leave it as-is, either way works, really.)

Which seems to me to follow, because my tech job involves a whole lot of "service" type fixing things for people. I'm a SysAdmin, and let me tell you, getting woken up in the middle of the night for a billion dollar product is way more renumerative (and better in other ways, too) than getting woken up in the middle of the night for a million dollar product.

My argument is that what I experience as a sysadmin would probably be pretty similar if I fixed cars instead; Fixing cars for wealthy people is likely to be a lot more renumerative than doing the same for people who aren't wealthy, and regardless of the direction of causality, the correlation between degrees and money is very strong; that's where I was going with my original point that as a dude without a degree who fixes things and helps people, I'm better off around educated people than otherwise.

Of course, you would be totally right to come back with other location based jobs; like if I were a mechanic, the path to income maximization would probably be to upgrade my skills to large diesel, and then move near some oil fields or something; jobs that are dependent on location are totally a thing. But most jobs depend on the people you are around more than any other location.

The US pays more as a percentage of GDP for Medicaid/Medicare/Veterans healthcare than the UK spends on the entire NHS (which covers 100% of people).

There is no problem paying for Medicare for All. The US federal government does not face an affordability constraint in dollars. It can pay for anything it wants, the only real constraint is inflation.

The next time you buy something over 100-200 dollars, try saying 'Can you give me a discount please?' with a smile. Be relaxed and expect to get a no from them (just a small confirmation, right?) and continue as usual.

It's not even haggling, it's just asking nicely. You'd be surprised how often that works. (Sometimes you get a choice of an additional small item free instead.)

Broken drywall sucks too. Especially after it's been sitting there half-repaired for 6 months and your spouse keeps nagging you about it.
But the US current system has afiak by far the highest rate of healthcare cost inflation. Single payer systems tend to inflate at less cost than the US one, so it is a win win.
Asymmetric information. The buyer has no way of knowing whether the car was used gently, which results in market for lemons.

CarMax has no incentive to fail a car at inspection. They'd rather sell it to you and if it breaks, fix it under warranty. But for you a broken car might mean ruined vacation or road trip.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
This is often overlooked in the health care debate. If the US paid European prices for health care, the government could give everyone free healthcare without raising taxes at all.
> "We currently have a national healthcare system for members of the military..."

I know quite a few veterans of all ages. it's amazing how utterly screwed up in bureaucracy the VA can be. Hiring a lawyer to get treatment isn't uncommon, and I think two acquaintances have have ended up bringing their US congressman in.

While healthcare in the US is way too expensive, I don't think I'd trade my current setup for the VA.

"Does deep learning help?"

I think that Jeremy Howard's results with FastAI do strongly suggest that deep learning helps. Specifically, it can be very quick to train a language model with your own data... so quick that he doesn't even bother starting with pre-trained weights.
What definitions of open source have any traction that the MPL, any version, is excluded?
I'm aware of at least one Carmax that is also a Toyota dealership, which they sell no-haggle. I think some dealership chains are also no-haggle (e.g., Fitzgerald Auto Mall)
That's very possible but it seems that this was just being used as a table to drill upon and not just once but at least 8-11 times. Why would one strain to reach, line of sight or not, to use this as a table when surely some other affordance is closer.

How about two guys, one on the others shoulders, they get up there, find they need to drill a bunch of holes into the component they're trying to install. Now it's more trouble to come down and do it right. "Just hurry up, you're heavy!"
I encourage you to share your concerns with the potential VCs or investors. My favorite investors (and the ones I ended up working with for a long time) are ones who were comfortable helping me, saw where my strengths/weaknesses were, and still wanted to work with me. If an investor (seed, angel, VC, etc.) doesn't want to help you get out of a rut, then you probably don't want to take their money later. You'll end up in a world of hurt.

If that doesn't make you more comfortable, if you're willing to share more info on your idea + your location, I might be able to provide some limited advice. Note that I likely don't have any subject matter expertise related to your specific business idea, though.

The Costco Auto Purchase program won't give you a quote online or over the phone. You have to set foot in the pre-selected dealership to receive the price. Costco negotiates the price once a year so there's no guarantee that price is market competitive, especially late in the model year.
How much does it cost to build an app?
The lazy_static macro (provided by a third party crate) allows you to create static (global, basically singleton pattern) variables that get initialized on first use and then are being reused over and over again.

The "lazy ref" is part of that macro's syntax. "msg_break" is the name of the static variable. Then, in Rust, all static things must have type annotations. In this case, it's the "TwoWaySearcher<'static>". The "TwoWaySearcher::new("\r\n\r\n".as_bytes())" is the initializer code that's being only called once. The as_bytes function is solely a type casting operation to convert from a str for which the typesystem guarantees that it's utf-8 formatted to a byte slice that just represents arbitrary data.
I never worked on social media; this does not interest me. I will agree that it has caused a lot of change and may have contributed to outbreaks of violence in the recent past. I could compare these conflicts to others in the past that were massively more devastating, but I wom't.

I am not sure of this discussion of social media is framed correctly. At its core, all this social tech tries to satisfy the very basic human need for communication in novel ways. There is nothing bad about trying to achieve that. But somewhere along the way something unintended and bad happened. We need to find out what it is and how to fix it as a society. The underlying tech and concepts will never go away again. It can be used for good. We realized too late that we failed to use it properly.

The only thing that upsets me is if they’re coming, they need to blend. I don’t need ‘barrios.’ I don’t need these certain sectors where everything is still the way it was where they came from. If you’re going to meld, then meld.”

How are they “creating barrios”? By speaking their native toungue and maybe listening to Hispanic music? Would the city be happier if they all spoke English to each other and they listened to Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw?

I'm frequently surprised by how fully integrated and accepted by the community the second and subsequent generations are.

There are different levels of acceptance.

- serving people in a place of business.

- employment

- socially

- living in the same neighborhood

- going to the same church

- dating.

Statistically, most Black people live in a majority Black neighborhoods. Because of redlining, steering, economics, and just comfort.

Because we live in an overwhelmingly White area, if my (step)son is going to date anyone from school, more than likely they are going to be white. Parents haven’t had any problems with it but is that because he has an acceptable pedigree and he grew up in the burbs, doesn’t “talk Black”, and we live in “good neighborhood”? How would they feel if he were the same person, doing well in school but lived on the other side of the tracks? Also, both my wife and I know how to “code switch”.

If you are working on the same food drive or Habitat-for-Humanity house, a majority of Christians are willing to (at least temporarily) overlook the error of your religious beliefs (or lack thereof).

It takes an effort to just bring Christian churches of multiple races to come together. When you are constantly being brainwashed into believing that Muslims are trying to spread Sharia law and that there are already some cities in the US under Sharia law, it’s hard to shake those beliefs.
The VA is not military. I specifically said military to avoid talking about the VA. Government sponsored healthcare can certainly be bad but it doesn’t have to be. People on Medicare like it for the most part. They certainly don’t want to be taken off of it.
Indeed, the cockpit, the controller, the 3D graphics...The awesome sound track.. It was immensely immersive, especially for its time.

Part of it is distrust of government. Part of it is status quo. Part of it is belief they will be worse off in the new system. Part of it is not wanting to have to supliment other's heath care. Those are the real underlying reasons, as far as I can tell.
The list comprehension syntax is just set notation with Python keywords instead of symbols. Haskell, JavaScript, and Julia have similar syntax. It's also similar to the equivalent loop.

Which of these is clearer?
