That's why you also need free heroin inside, and the price to leave is a clean piss test.

Concentrate the people creating the 'dystopian hellscape' so services can be provided to them more efficiently and cheaply. If they can't get clean, they can stay inside and get a daily lecture on why they should be sober before their fix.

I'm not saying that its "fair" that everyone else pays for this. I'm saying we're already paying more than this and it isn't working, so puritan notions that "Govt should never provide people with certain drugs" should be challenged if there is a strong economic benefit.
The inhabitants of the Wakhan Corridor are mainly Pamiris like their kin in Tajikistan or nomadic Kyrgyz. Neither group is sympathetic to the Taliban. Sure, Taliban from further afield could strike there, but there is a reason that generally not only was Tajikistan safe, but for several years after the American invasion tourists commonly visited across the border in the Wakhan.

Monorepo could be a decent choice if your software stack does not require too much external dependencies. Or more precisely, the ratio of own code to the third-party code is reasonably high.

Let me give a concrete example. The Android open source project (AOSP) which builds the system of Android devices has the code size close to the scale of tens of GB (let alone all the histories!). It is already a massive monorepo in itself. And typically you would have many of them from different OEM/SoC vendors of different major releases. In such a scenario, it would turn into 'a monorepo of monorepos,' which is quite unpleasant to imagine.
Grin gives strong anonymity guarantees but maintains most of the other public verification properties of a traditional blockchain like Bitcoin. It also includes some cool scalability optimizations to the Bitcoin-style of blockchain.

Anonymity is maintained with a cool trick called a blinding factor, where a secret value is drummed up for each transaction and used to obfuscate the data that is publicly displayed on the blockchain. Combining that with range proofs allows all involved parties to verify that the transaction was completed for the specified amount, and that no money was created out of thin air.

Scalability is boosted with transaction cut-through - a neat trick that lets unnecessary “intermediate” transactions get eliminated when a miner assembles a block. This means that nodes on the network can store the entire chain state really efficiently because all you need to know are the total coins in circulation, the UTXO set, and the kernels for each transaction.

I can’t do the whole thing justice in this tl;dr, so read the technical explanation here for more info if it piques your interest:

You maybe relying on shared component for your app, you simply put in your BUILD bazel (blaze) file deps reference to it - e.g. "//base:something", but now that "//base:something" might itself rely on other deps, but that should not be of your concern.

So - what's stopping you from depending (using) anything else? Or how to stop you from doing this? BAZEL (blaze) has visiblity rules, which by default are private - e.g. the rules in your packages are hidden, unless explicitly made public, or alternatively you can white-list one by one which other packages (//java/com/google/blah/myapp) can include you back.

Let's say there is a new cool service, and your team wants to try it out... but it's not out there for everyone to use, it's in alpha, beta, whatever stage. So you ask for permission from the team, or simply create a CL with your package target, name, "..." folder resolution so that you are whitelisted - eventually you will (if that's good idea, and approved). For example you want, if some library got deprecated, and has been slowly replaced with another, and then now instead of being "//visibility:public" is just white listing the last users of it... Well probably not good idea to be added on that list, as the whole thing is going out soon (yes, Google tends to deprecate internally even faster than externally - ... which is good!). But such mechanisms are helpful in getting this worked correctly.

That... what? That's just wrong. Look upthread for your example that started this whole thing. BMW's P/E is less than 6! Toyota's is around 7. Apple is absolutely priced like a growth stock. No, it's not as high as better growth bets are, but it's absolutely not priced by earnings. It just isn't.
By making the decriminalization location-based, it would concentrate the problem and make providing services to those individuals much cheaper because of economies of scale.

That is indeed the trend. iPhones have in recent years been so good in every way that the need to upgrade year-on-year is reduced. With iOS 12 even a 6S feels snappy with a new battery. This trend of a slower replacement cycle has been going on a while, and that is precisely why Apple is raising prices. With slower sales that's the only way to keep revenue growing. And it's working too, iPhone sales met expectations everywhere in the last quarter except China. This isn't an "Apple is failing" story, it's a "Apple misjudged the China slowdown" story

Where else would you put it? If you put it on the left, then bikes are going to have to cross the car's path to get in/out of the bike lane. So either way, cars and bikes will be merging past each other.

However, in California, cars are not supposed to "turn right across another straight-ahead lane to the right", they are supposed to merge safely into the bike lane and turn right from the bike lane, letting any bikes behind pass the car on the left.

This is the common dogma but I'm not so sure. Assume it takes 50 years to figure out how to get infinite solar power in space. In the meantime, would you prefer higher temperatures and more fires, or a lot more nuclear waste? C02 levels and global temperatures will be easily reversible once we have infinite energy. However even in a world with infinite energy, nuclear waste will still be extremely dangerous, for basically an indefinite amount of time.

What are you browsing with? I had perfectly smooth scrolling on MacOS + Safari.
I first saw this post in 2009 or so, and it was eye-opening. I found it while googling for why colours shifted when I resized images, as back then there wasn't much awareness of this issue. But it's much less prevalent now. Related -- scaling algorithms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling#Algorithms

You don't often find browsers disagreeing in 2019 on how to render things, but image colour -- even on the same MacOS (retina) platform -- appear to be one of those things they disagree on still: https://content.screencast.com/users/LouisStAmour/folders/Sn... Safari on the left, Firefox in the middle and Chrome on the right. So you can try it for yourself, the test page is at http://www.ericbrasseur.org/gamma_dalai_lama.html

If this isn't esoteric enough, I know of at least one major broadcast media company (Bell's crave.ca) that doesn't properly encode their HDTV 720p videos in MP4 to flag to the browser they're in Rec 709 colour space, and so the compression artifacts, designed to be invisible in Rec 709 are extremely visible on a wide gamut P3 display.

Of course, these flags were only recently respected on all platforms. Chrome on Windows as of Oct 2016: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=655417... and Firefox (err, actually still not fixed, it depends on the codec...) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1300170#c87

But colour space is increasingly something you have to pay attention to, as displays improve beyond sRGB -- yet ironically, it's also getting easier to ignore as the latest stepping stone towards Rec 2020, the DCI-P3 colour space, is shared between PC and movie industries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCI-P3#2015-2016 (Personally I refuse to buy any display or device that plays back video if it doesn't have a P3 display, ideally OLED)

FYI, you can test for colour gamut device support with CSS to serve wide-gamut colours -- but oddly enough, again, no Firefox support. :( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/colo... FF bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1422237
I wouldn't think any publicly traded company, nor any subsidiary of a non-startup, qualifies as a startup, even if they previously did before they exited. The tough categorization calls in my opinion are for slow-growing or stagnant long-private tech companies.

With your definition, doesn't Amazon still qualify? It's majorly disrupting markets and rapidly evolving its business model. And it's definitely a tech company.
If it doesn't allow people to speculate (no ICO, no mining), how would people be interested to use it? (bootstraping)

Agreed. When I wrote the parent comment, I was thinking of a time I prematurely abstracted an API wrapper to a private git repo and how painful simple, frequent changes were.

Though, as you say and I commented below they’re not mutually exclusive. A wrapper or even an entirely separate service can exist alongside others.

> speculating on a continued housing shortage (and hence consistently high housing prices) is a surefire bet if the housing supply never increases.

Two important concepts about this. The first is that in places like SF, those making the speculation are also the ones that dominate the elections. Figure that SF has a high amount of renters, of the which many are foreigners that can't vote. That shows a skewed and corrupt political system.

Second, that such a ploy of decreasing housing shortage is economically inefficient, and thus makes the whole poorer. In an efficient system, the more housing, the more people, the more services and tax income and everybody wins. So how can the home-owners be benefitted more if the pie shrinks than if it grows?
Its the tax system that double punishes renters and prizes landlords.
SF spends 2,600U$S a month per household. If the city levied its taxes on land instead, it would literally eat up all the rental prices of land, and housing would be worth next to nothing: but because instaed it punishes workers coming into the city with sales taxes, and companies with corporate taxes, landlords actually get a double pay: they get paid by the renters twice.
personally, i hate having to drag an ipad and mbp along everywhere i go, ideally if i could carry just my ipad, that would perfect.

from all the marketing for the latest ipad, i think they’re moving more towards this vision, from the ipad page:

“Like a computer...”
“A12X Bionic is the smartest, most powerful chip we’ve ever made. It has the Neural Engine, which runs five trillion operations per second and enables advanced machine learning.
Translation: It’s faster
than most PC laptops.“
“It’s all new, all screen, and all powerful. Completely redesigned and packed with our most advanced technology, it will make you rethink what iPad is capable of.
And what a computer
is capable of.”

either their marketing team doesnt know about this breed of developers that need to compile software and are just trying to get the masses to replace their laptops or they know about us and are looking to truly replace the macbook pro with ipad.

Monorepo is a total win, if you have something like https://github.com/Microsoft/VFSForGit (ex GVFS) - e.g. any monorepo that overlays changes, and the rest are simply file names with no actual contents is a win.

“I certainly expect many of today’s estimates will turn out to have been pretty optimistic,” said Francis O’Sullivan, director of research for the MIT Energy Initiative, which has examined shale forecasting. He said the complex geology of shale basins and assumptions based on a small number of wells could make forecasts unreliable. “There is profound variability in the performance of these wells,” he said.

Schlumberger Ltd. , the oil-field-services giant, reported in a research paper that secondary shale wells completed near older, initial wells in West Texas have been as much as 30% less productive than the initial ones. The problem threatens to upend growth projections for America’s hottest oil field, the company said in October.

To see the full article, google for "Fracking’s Secret Problem" and the referrer header should let you read it.

It could be incredibly disruptive to US and global energy prices if shale e&p projects are such that multiple current companies are not economical (lower recovery rates, and incrementally worse production at tighter well spacings)

Yes I think they are saying the lack of non-cognitive skills appears to be what is lacking. But there does seem to be some evidence that those who are in parental care better develop these skills and have better outcomes.

I think the tricky part will be demonstrating how to provide these non-cognitive skills outside of parental care. Economically we are far better off with children in care and parents in the work force but this may not pay off in the long term if future generations fail to perform in life.
Yes, exactly. Unfortunately, sometimes the partial checkouts can be somewhat limited by the fact that your WORKSPACE code will import Starlark defined in other repos. This can get a bit ridiculous if your repo uses a bunch of different languages, if you browse through e.g. the TypeScript support instructions for Bazel you’ll see some of what you’re in for.

If your project is mostly something like C++ (which has support built-in to Bazel) then the WORKSPACE rules will be much more manageable and partial checkouts become a lot easier.
