I'm not sure how that would be useful, since terabytes don't fail. When a drive fails, it's effectively a brick with no terabytes.
Not everything applies to Munchery. Orders were closing ahead of time, so no waste. Drivers had a routes, because they've been delivering multiple orders at the same time.
Munchery was a model for me when I tried to run "Dinner delivery" startup in Kyiv, Ukraine, but we were actually partnering with restaurants to prepare foods.

Not too surprising. On my last job hunt I looked around and a lot of the praise felt buzzword-ish and such.

Then again the negatives too seemed very specific to a user or department or just weird.
I should say, I don't regularly use it. Yes I have to use the escape key and the occasional display brightness change. I mostly use a magic keyboard.
Building cities is more efficient and cheaper that low-density suburbia. The problem we have is speculation and rent-seeking in RE has really made housing unaffordable in many cities.
I love engaging with brands!!
They're not going to be skewed. HGST disks are usually more expensive, so that limits the quantity that they buy. The seagate disks are usually cheaper but have a slightly higher (except when it's a brand new line) failure rate. When filling out a single server I go with the HGST disks because the premium price and quality means fewer failures, but it's more cost effective to go for lots of seagate disks when you have more redundancy and can eat more failures.
Do larger capacity drives have higher failure rates?
I'd love to see a headphone jack standard (maybe based on on USB-C?) that's digital or analog and doesn't short whenever you plug/unplug stuff.

So he's talking about the Web not the Internet. Counter argument, the web was never that great to begin with and maybe let's stop pretending that some large companies we all don't like for whatever reason are responsible? Social media is opt-in. It is not a requirement to use the Internet and communicate effectively with it. If you hate it so much, start a new web. But then you quickly realize the Web is what it is due much more to economics associated with it than anything else.

I like to think as credit cards as tax on the poor to feed the rich.
I live in a smaller country (canada) that doesn't have the same market strength and resources as the bigger markets. I was just wondering about the consequences of losing 70 million people and the worlds fifth largest economy would have on all these efforts.

I am unable to find a link to the ruling in the article, does anyone have it? Curious how this number was arrived at.
I'd like to propose that "cost of living" calculators are extremely skewed when trying to compare extremely urban (nyc etc) vs less (or non) urban areas. For example manhattan might have incredible price/sq ft for rent; but you can get much smaller accommodations than you might Birmingham. Car + car maintenance + car insurance is a cost that's only required when you live somewhere without public transportation/walkable grocery stores. In addition non local goods are typically not factored in when talking about cost of living. Consumer goods, health care, travel, and retirement savings all are generally local independent. In this regard being able to save 10% of 200k is a large improvement over being able to save 10% of 60k.

On your last point I can't speak for Toledo, but I wouldn't discount the number of high skill workers in Birmingham. At least 4 years ago there was small but growing tech scene.

I always thought that college was not to increase your typical office worker's productivity by X% but instead to be a long term bet on massive gains for society through academic research.

Slightly off-topic but I'd like to mention -- I have never been happy by their decision of getting rid of the Headphone jack (and other ports).

Laptop is meant to be a portable device and it needs to be self-sufficient. But in case of the new MacBooks you have to keep adapters handy at all times. Using bluetooth for audio draws more battery than wired ones, though negligible, but still matters over long runs. Also, you have to make sure your bluetooth earphones/speakers are charged as well.

And the problem is how can you ensure the output type of one program matches the input type of another.

A program emits one type, and the other program accepts another.

Something will be needed to transform one type into another. Imagine doing that on the command line.
I mean, I like my devices to look pretty. Aesthetics have value, and shouldn't be ignored outright.

But, it's not impossible for a thicker device to look aesthetically pleasing. To choose a random example, I've always loved Nokia's Lumia line of phones, which were quite thick but had these lovely rounded edges that made it seem natural.
This is cool and useful, but not all unix programs follow this convention:

Also, none of the corrective cat/grep code in these threads point out that grep in fact takes file names, so "cat foo | grep stuff" is just a silly no-op.

Win32.chm: Microsoft's Old API Help File Reborn
You know - my wife and I were talking about Facebook the other day and the role it plays in 'the way society acts' these days.

We came to the conclusion that the vast majority of feeds are filled with posts from sites that other like-minded people also have in their feeds. This causes the comments on those posts on your feed to mostly be filled with people whose feelings align with your own.

I think that's dangerous, maybe mainly because the general population doesn't realize this. Everyone, no matter how 'distorted' their views are - feels vindicated in those views.

Every time I feel like removing my Facebook, I just take a few steps back and only use it to stay in touch with family and/or friends that I have moved away from - which soon morphs back into the constant checking for new posts and then reading those comments, which tend to align and solidify my own feelings.

I think the world would be a better place without Facebook - and I also think the world would be worse off in some regards without it. In either event, if Facebook vanished tomorrow, I wouldn't complain.
Do you live in a really high LOC area? Or are you exaggerating?

Only if you pay the full dose immediately at the end of the billing period. Anytime you've haven't paid your cc bill in time, you're charged way more in interest. People have crushed under cc debt.
This is true. The fees pay to run the program including all the front-end companies that sell card products to the market; the banks financing it want those big, juicy 20% APRs
Trade policy? Lets start with some basics here: farms are getting larger, and there is no longer available farm land that wasn't already converted to farm land. That happened a long time ago, before me anyway. Farmer Jo has 4 kids and one farm. That farm only produced enough income for one family to live on, if they are lucky and expanded, maybe two. So Farmer Jo + One kid and family. All the other kids have to go elsewhere. You go look in town (maybe 5000 people in a good healthy farm town), and the jobs there are bleak as well. Cook, mechanic, hardware store, etc. Or you enter the trades: plumber electrician. But in small towns, there is still only so much room for them. These small towns have a form of "max capacity". So most of the kids move way. Out of four, on average 2 kids will stick around, but not enough for the town to "grow". Keep in mind, not every farm kids wants, or is cut out to perform farm labor.

Again, why do the kids leave? The town economy is based on farm economics, and is limited by the availability of land. Once the land is taken, the town will stop growing. And farm income is not what you call "stable" either, so the town goes thru a lot of boom and bust cycles. Infrastructure levies take a hit if you are talking about multiple years of taxes, simply because the farmers don't know what next year's income will look like.

Do you need to flee to the city? Depends on what you call a city. There is probably a neighbor town with +20,000 people in it. We call them cities around here (examples: Twin Falls Idaho and Algona Iowa.) In those vast metropolises you can work produce factories, car dealerships (the small towns don't have them), and other areas.

Source: I'm a farm kid with an older brother, from a small farming town in southern Idaho, and most my friends are former farm kids as well. My dad gave me the "talk" in high school, he knew I wouldn't make a good farmer. And those who stuck around are often not the lucky ones. They are just trying to hold on. (was not a fun heart-to-heart with my brother last night who thinking hard about selling out and becoming an EMT after 30 years of farm life).
It's a shame really, because in the past their products were actually quite popular for games, because they were also popular for game developers who were often serious personal computing enthusiasts at the time. And Bungie was a really good developer that was Mac-first right up unitl they were acquired by MS.

Now that Bungie is independent again, maybe the post-Jobs Apple could finally come to embrace gaming? Throwing thousands of dollars at completely overbuilt gaming rigs and their associated cosmetics is pretty common, you think they'd be an attractive mark for a lifestyle-brand company like Apple.
I guess it depends on metrics. It feel like Facebook/Google showed everybody else the gold mine that is sucking up as much user data as possible and fusing that data with other companies. That is probably the #1 worst thing about the internet and its effect on regular life today.

However, with work at it, I think it is possible to leave both the Facebook/Google bubble.

If that is #1, #2 is definitely what Twitter has done to distort the news cycle and cause "social media" storms. Twitter seems to make it much easier for that to happen, and worse, you will never get the full story from Twitter. And the worst part? you don't even have to have a Twitter account to be subject to that.
As far as I can tell, NIST doesn't directly directly use the term RCE. CVE-2010-5298 is an OpenSSL vulnerability that allows data injection that could potentially result in code execution, but there's no easy way to see that from NIST's categorization:

Very accurate, but most of all, Instagram is where the girls are.

The filters Instagram supplied to the common end-user brought girls in by the truckload. All of the people that recommended Instagram to me, begore it was well known, before they were acquired by Facebook, all of the people that pushed Instagram by word of mouth were girls, and almost without fail, photogenic girls, or there somewhat less-so friends.

This class of girls also went to Snapchat, but for obviously different reasons, in particular, as a pseudo-forward security toy (sexting via app). Something they presumed to be, mostly “secure enough” for the moment.

This split, of forward security contrasted against accessible cookie-cutter photoshop filters that place many images on a sentimental pedistal or permit the ability glamourize one-handed, were what precipitated the viral runaway growth hack the differentiated each from other varieties of photo sharing, like flickr.

We have something similar in The Netherlands. Had a 2015 13" battery replaced that started bulging a few months ago, for free, within a few days. The battery was functioning fine, it didn't have many cycles, yet bulged anyway (all the cells did) to the point the bottom started to pop open.

While I wouldn't have a problem replacing this battery myself with an iFixit kit or reviewed eBay stuff, after some measurements and checking this really had to be a manufacturing issue; so up to Apple to take care of (and they did).

YES! At one company I was at their web service framework would log thousands of lines of nonsense for every request, most of it errors about not being able to connect to services that no longer existed or thousands of lines of debugging that were never relevant to anything. Make sure you are only logging sensible things (usually this means when you see something being logged for no reason or which is no longer relevant, fix things), and if you want to log a ton of garbage, set things up so you can tell the difference and throw out the junk.

I'm sure in a superficial, artistic way, it appears higher quality. But the moment you dig further than skin deep, there's glaring flaws after glaring flaws.

The machine is nigh unupgradable, being soldered and glued at the seams. If the mainboard is fried (usb3 cables?), the SSD is not recoverable.

There's also other various "failures if you look inside" like this issue. One only needs to do a cursory search. One recent major issue is that a speck of dust destroys keys on their keyboards.

Another issue pertaining to the laptop is that they are forcing with each update the APP-ification with continual hurdles to make it harder to install nonstore software.

Now sure, if you want to build for iOS, you need something running OSX. And the only corporate solution is an apple. I get that dependency well, stinks. But I don't make bones that their superficial beauty is only skin deep.
yep... this is why programmers make _the worst_ marketers. they market like they code... they think everyone who comes to their site can read their minds so they forgot that they need explain clearly what their product does.

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about how crucibles operate. The outside of the crucible is not supposed to get particularly hot. Heat is applied to the inside; the crucible contains both the material and the heat.

If you don’t do this then all the air in the room is also heated up to ludicrous temperatures, and that tends to be bad for any other equipment or people nearby.

There is only so much land, food, and materials to go around.

True(ish). False. False.

I say "ish" for the first one because hopefully humanity will grow beyond Earth in the near future.

Generally, all of the above are false unless you are talking about a population which never stops growing, and in that case that would be the problem. Not wealth inequality.
The old people in America now own the majority of the assets. If they transfer those assets to the young in exchange for work, things will get better. If the old are split into those that have a huge amount of money and spend a little percent of it in retirement, passing the rest onto their heirs, and a large number of old people that need to keep working just to survive, locking out the young people from moving up, there will be trouble. Unfortunately it seems like the latter is happening at the moment.
That's a false analogy. No one forces you to stay with your bank. If you are an EU citizen, you can open an account in any other EU country. Mastercard was forcing merchants to only use banks within their respective countries.
yes. it’s a pretty straightforward differentiation strategy. whenever a product doesn’t compete on price, it competes on difference. it puzzles me that this is well known, yet people keep bringing up the thinness as an independent feature apart from apple’s overall strategy (and success).

with price competition, you go for cheap components, processes, marketing and distribution. when you compete on difference, you not only need new and unique qualities to market but a sustainable advantage.

one part of this advantage for apple is on the design and manufacturing side. apple maintains leads in these areas by being on the leading edge of what the technology can do (their products are never on the bleeding edge because their customers also demand quality and reliabilty). the other part is supply chain; not just the ability to source parts and get the best pricing, but the ability to create a cascade of innovation where components and design permeate the whole ecosystem (this lets them fully amortize fixed costs like r&d and manufacturing costs).

this is why apple captures the majority of profits in the markets it competes in. thinness is an attribute of that advantage.
