I think every credit card I've had has given me the option of adding a second card for a spouse to use. Maybe something like that?

Then just make sure you both have access to the online account so you can both view the balance at any time. There's a small amount of extra friction in that you'll have to coordinate a bit to ensure the card is always paid off equitably, but it probably wouldn't be too big a hassle.

The airport/hotel stuff is part of the job. I purposely take a day out of my travels though to sight-see, even if the organizers and/or my employer would rather I be at the event every single day networking. This is me caring for my mental health and recharging. I'm an ambivert and I can't go full throttle all the time.

On the note about getting sleep. I make sure I have 8 hours set aside for sleep, and 2 hours set aside for exercise every day. Nothing takes priority over that. Interestingly though, I've read some sleep studies where the scientists have discovered that our brains tend to stay in a more wakeful state when we're in unfamiliar surroundings. Even though I may sleep for 8 hours, I feel like I slept maybe 5 or 6.

IRT coding knowledge, it's definitely slipped, but I'm building on other skills now - it used to take me a week to craft a blog post, I can now do it in a day or two. Presentations would take me weeks to create, I can build a decent one in about a week.

$675 per semester in 1985 is $1580 now, or $3200 for the year.

By comparison, New York state spend $21,000 per pupil in public school (new york city this was $27k). This is higher than the national average of $11,000.

The cheapest state, Utah, still spent $6500 per pupil.

Your $3200 isn't going to touch it, so who picks up the rest of the bill?

News media does not operate at the scale of Netflix or Spotify, etc. Spotify has about 87 million paying users, Netflix around 150 million. The New York Times has around 4 million. That‘s a huge difference in scale alone. And the NYT is the exception, not the rule.

Journalism is expensive. Really expensive, if you want quality. More so, if you want some great investigative reporting.

For every pound of free range, organic fed, fair trade ground beef that gets sold at Whole Foods Walmart sells a truck load of house brand 80/20.

Plant based ground beef replacements are not going to have a measurable impact on the meat industry or environment until they can deliver almost the same experience as cheap ground beef at a lesser price.

I see no mention of price in this article which tells me price is not one of the strong suits of this product. While another choice of vegetarian beef is certainly a good thing for vegetarians and the Whole Foods crowd I don't see this product affecting everything at the macro level. Things will likely get cheaper over time but we do not appear at a tipping point yet.

Can confirm. A friend of mine has been consulting now for over 15 years. He's an excellent engineer with some valuable specialization. Met him after work for dinner and he shows up in crappy jeans and sandals. "Why are you dressed like that, didn't you just come from a client site?" "It's part of the uniform." Apparently IDGAF is a signal in more ways than I thought. In this case it shows that you are good enough not to need to conform - and he's right. I do wonder weather dressing better but finding another way to signal value might take him up a notch, but I honestly couldn't say.

The article is using an elective course as an example, for some reason. Usually what you do (based on my experience at UT Austin) is try to register for all your classes in the system, with priority based on major and year. Then if there's something you really need to get into that's already full, you go to an adviser and tell them why you have to get into that class that semester and they can override the system and get you in.
I found chromecast a bit of a con. The whole casting it sold itself on was a fiddly mess. Better to just admit it was a roku with built in players but without a remote control and casting as just a side kludgy footnote. Yes, you could kind of get there but not in an elegant easy way. Maybe it will get easier now that VLC lets you cast directly from it (Playback menu, renderer). Still perhaps I just wasn't using it right. Cheap mind.

The US, especially liberal arts colleges, is pretty wary of premature specialization. A common thing here is that you apply to a university, take classes in a range of departments, and then by the end of sophomore year (two of four) you decide on a major.

I went to Swarthmore (referenced in the article) before CS enrollment surged (www.swarthmore.edu/computer-science/alumni) and there were some people in my CS classes who decided to start on a CS major their junior (year 3 of 4) fall.
As the article you link notes:

If you're referring to the bit about "special categories of data" per Article 9, location is not such a category.

That said, location data is sensitive, so there certainly are questions that can be asked about how and why they use this data. You can ask them for details.

Yes, but in many many cases where people think they need to, there's actually a simpler and safer way to do it. Too many programmers see a long running task or an unresponsive UI and immediately declare that threads are the answer, when they're almost always not.

Admittedly they're much more likely to be useful now with so many spare cores on every machine, but they're still a hammer when most problems are screws.

That's very true - and something I adore about cities. I actually think if humanity is to survive with anything like current population levels we need as many people as possible in cities, given their efficiency and low per-capita carbon emissions. Also, they're fun.

But they're too damned expensive, and that's a manufactured situation. We intentionally decided that home prices rising faster than inflation is a good thing, and now we get the occasional lip service to "let's make housing more affordable" but _nobody_ has the guts to say "let's make housing CHEAP. Because basic shelter free of indentured servitude is good for humanity". Instead you get "well this building will have 100 market-rate units and 10 affordable ones so we get the odd token normie to assuage the guilt of everyone else living there. But you still get to vote against any meaningful increase in housing supply that addresses the core problem of 1000 people trying to fit in 100 homes."

So, if you make a lot of money, the city is great. If you don't make a lot of money, the city _would_ be great if you could actually afford to live there.

I'm not surprised by this response from Deliveroo. Their focus lately has definitely moved away from customer satisfaction.

I discovered recently that drivers are allowed - without penalty - to reject an order when they reach the pickup location if they see the receipt and decide it is too far to travel [1].

As a customer you just see your food go: `Assigning Driver -> Driver En Route to Pickup -> Driver Arrived at Pickup Location -> Assigning Driver`, for two hours on repeat. Eventually your cold food arrives 2 hours later, and you are offered £5 credit for your ruined meal.

I live in Central London (Old Street), and have had this happen repeatedly with restaurants that are not far from me.

The classes aren't usually limited to people majoring in CS. Lots of non-majors take these classes, and the popularity of a class among all students is not controlled by limits on how many can major in CS. In some schools they give CS majors first priority, but there are still all sorts of issues such as scheduling conflicts causing a major to need to sign up for a class late, after it has been opened to non-majors. American universities are not trade schools, and most require their students to take several classes--which students choose for themselves--that are entirely outside their majors. Waves of popularity then rise and fall.

> With that attitude, you are stuck in the past and don't want to make progress with technology.

The statement you quoted is qualified, not an assertion of impossibility.

Your claim is silly; the alternative to breathless hype isn't Luddism, it's getting educated about a field and proceeding, if possible, in an informed way. Claiming delusional enthusiasm (with a side of hucksterism and a strong odor of financial incentives) is the only way to advance the state of the art encourages the very worst kinds of pseudo-innovation and chicanery.

If acknowledging the difficulty (or impossibility) of something means someone is stuck in the past and is anti-progress, well, then I guess every safety board in existence is anti-progress.

To be fair, you can certainly give it a go. There's no requirements to be able to submit an application, and university grade requirements are rarely total, only recommended.

You might not be able to get into a top flight oxbridge university, but show a history of interesting projects and maybe attending hackathons, competitions etc many universities will fight to have you

Worked for me.
The US university system is quite unusual (I believe Canada also has a similar system): at the undergraduate level you typically don't apply to a specific program; all students are expected to take a variety of classes (confusingly called "courses"), only some of which apply to a specific course of study.

Domain-specialized classes become an increasing proportion of your overall classes after the first or second year (when you choose a major) though never 100%. So while the school can get some idea of demand based on what people put on their application form, typically what you put on that form has little to no impact on whether you are admitted and doesn't actually bind you to a particular program.

I actually think this is a pretty good system, and was glad my own kid chose a US university (which luckily we could afford) rather than the free university education he could have chosen in either of his mother's or my countries. The theory is that you can get a broad foundational education to prepare you for a variety of possible futures, and also that there is more to education than simply work skills. Of course the reality isn't quite as utopian. It also means professions like law and medicine require whole additional degrees.
Not to mention that maybe we should get away from the idea that everyone needs to go to college. The vast majority of jobs only require college because high school is nearly worthless, so even people who _did_ learn plenty in HS have to find a way to distinguish themselves.

It's also good for laundering privilege ("we can't make my buddy's kid partner unless he went to a good school - otherwise it looks like nepotism!")

Really appreciate you engaging here - in addition I think there would be a lot of value in taking a closer look at the feedback that you're already getting on user voice, especially for issues that you think you've closed.

I shudder to think how many engineering hours went into solving the wrong thing here...

New guide, same as the old guide, minus dairy as its own category, and carbs are de-emphasized.

This seems pretty non-controversial.

The old food pyramid suggested having as many carbs as you could handle, and made it seem like milk and meat were absolutely vital.

The new take just lumps those into protein and suggests proteins as a whole should be about 25% of your diet.

While no guide could possibly please everyone (there's a diet trend for every possible food combo out there), this seems like a reasonable baseline to me.

As for the recipes they list... omg no.

I sadly concur, as someone who did fine at Computing A-Level with no work, found Further Maths difficult and was lucky to get a B with extra tuition and some juggling of module results to maximise my two final grades, and dropped out of a CS degree.

I liked coding for fun but really had almost no idea what CS was when I applied. So maybe the US system would have been better for me in that I could have dipped into a bunch of 101 courses and changed my major.

In the UK system, most people don't go to other subjects' lectures and if you don't like what you're doing, you have to apply from scratch. There's usually no way to change course at the same university or even get any kind of help or advice about finding an alternative elsewhere.

One of these years I'll work out what I should have studied and do that instead... actually, I probably won't, now it costs £30k+. I'm glad there are MOOCs so I can satisfy my urge to sign up for random things, watch one week's worth of lessons, and then never go back again, all for free.

I haven't looked over this food guide and probably will not put too much thought into it as a Canadian. Everyone knows that last food guide was completely out of touch with reality and was actually influenced by some of the big food companies. So now they want to try again and they didn't have it right for the last few decades why should I listen now? If they want to get me to listen now they need to highlight the old food guide and the changes they made and why. I notice they now recommend water as the drink of choice when the last one companies like Minute Maid fought to have a glass of juice placed on it. So my generation was sold out on the food guide. My trust now is strained. I will take this one with caution as well and continue to question if there is some alternative motive for the foods recommended.
