First - I'm really glad that you are alive to post this, and it sounds like that wasn't a given based on your story.

I wanted to comment on one of your last sentences - that "natural recovery" doesn't warrant attention. I think there's a certain bias here given your own experience. If you go twelve step meetings, you'll find people who's lives were on the brink of ruin and who have pulled themselves back by living the steps. But I think even NA/AA would acknowledge that the percentage of people who walk into an meeting once who get sober and continue to attend meetings is small (if I had to proffer a guess, it'd be less than 10%, but I don't have a good basis for that). So the question is really "what happens to the other 90%"? Some will certainly die from their addictions, destroying themselves and the lives of their loved ones in the process. Others are going to "grow out" of their addictions. It may be that the percentage who grow out of their addictions is actually higher than the AA percentage (and that seems to be what the article implies). That actually _does_ merit attention (and I think we'll find that in most cases the growth mirrors some of the steps that you'd see in AA, just without AA).

Of course, those that _don't_ grow out of their addictions would be far better served working a program, and we don't have a good way to distinguish which group any addict is in, so that puts us back to where we are, which is in not knowing the best way to treat addiction. :(

(Personal note: I was clearly an addict and alcoholic in my late teens and twenties, and this period of time involved multiple trips to rehab, as well as AA/NA meetings. None of that "worked" for me, but what worked was the development of some additional maturity (late 20's) that was able to see a life that I wanted which was incompatible with my behavior. As an adult in my 40's, nobody would define me as an alcoholic or an addict. I'll occasionally drink, but drinking to excess really just doesn't fit into my life anymore.)
I hate all the shipping, but this is a pretty cool idea. If they could setup container return and shipping centers at the grocery store, for example, then it might be cost-effective.
Net expenses, but the equity in the property seems like income (as you can tell iana landlord).

Income taxes likely contribute a significant percentage of the difference between mortgage payments an rent prices. For a REIT, this is different, but for an individual owner renting out a second property and paying income taxes on the rent income, would this not create a significant difference?
The whole point of being a superpower is having the nukes.

I wouldn't worry about an attack on the US by China, but I would worry about an attack on Taiwan which the US has promised to defend and has an awful lot of chip manufacturing in the form of TSMC.

Realistically a major US-China conflict could mean the end of affordable smartphones and a huge dent in the US civilian tech industry. I suspect it would also see drastic measures against information warfare, First Amendment notwithstanding.
I love to travel afar. Whether I was headed to the Great Wall, Great Pyramid or Great Barrier Reef, there were certain things I always researched beforehand: visa requirements, exchange rate, plug adapters, immunizations, safety alerts, et al.

Doing so, however, entailed visiting multiple websites to find all the accurate answers I needed. A super inefficient process.

So I created BYG. A collection of 'Before You Go' dossiers for over 70 countries (and counting!), where you can view all the key travel info you need to know about a country. Quickly, easily and on 1 delightful page.

Saving you time , money and international headaches .

BYG data is collected and updated from official government and NGO sources, using journalistic and academic research methods.

I invite you to check it out, and bookmark it for your next globe-trotting adventure.

Thoughts, feedback and questions are most welcome.

Thanks and Bon voYaGe!
A major contributor to millennials' expenses is housing. NIMBYism will continue to be a contraint to having sufficiently more living units in existing major cities for the foreseeable future.

We should push for building new cities or upgrading existing small ones. We can create them to fit with lifestyles of the young: walkable, bike- and pedestrian-friendly, well-served by public transportation, etc.

Having good jobs nearby would be important. I believe developing new cities close to major universities (in smaller towns) and possibly adjacent to existing job centers would help garner critical mass to kickstart their momentum relatively quickly.
It’s nothing new. I remember (barely) talk of baby boomers worried about retirement after Black Monday.

Guess they recovered nicely.
I voted you down, your comment seems to think that the engineers couldn't possibly have a reason for custom screws.

Without knowing the requirements, you'll never know if they had a good reason for custom screws. As such this comment is not constructive at best, and just standard "apple is bad cause no standards" drivel at worst.
Bias is everything, Joe Duffy briefly mentioned at his RustConf keynote that many at WinDev did not believe Midori was possible, even when shown running in front of them.
It's not advertised the correct way, so feed readers can't find it, which makes it effectively a non-starter for most people I'd think. They're doing the Google thing where they implement the spec just enough to claim they implement it, but not enough for anyone to use it so that they can claim it wasn't their fault and no one used it.

That's still good to know for the future though, thanks.

>Innocent parties can (and frequently do) pay large sums of money for worthless fakes.

Are you talking about online or offline scams? The fake watch seems pretty useless if you're just scamming people online, you don't need to ship the buyer anything at all. A fake watch would only act as a temporary cover for such a scam possibly allowing the scammer to scam more people, but it's completely unnecessary for the scam itself.

Offline, how does that even happen? I guess maybe if you're a pawn shop operator.

>If the counterfeiters are so honourable and have no intent to deceive, why don't they discreetly engrave the word "REPLICA" on the caseback, case, movement main plate and bracelet?

Why would they need to do this? They aren't scamming anyone, a vanishingly small fraction of their customers are. If a factory started doing this they would just be unnecessarily putting themselves at a competitive disadvantage.

I don't know you, but I'd guess that you're probably demanding far higher standards from watch counterfeiters than the businesses you actually deal with. Unless you're the most conscious consumer ever you're almost certainly regularly doing business with companies committing far worse offenses than trademark infringement.

> “China is not just cheap. It’s a place where, because it’s an authoritarian government, you can marshal 100,000 people to work all night for you,” said Susan Helper, an economics professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and the former chief economist at the Commerce Department. “That has become an essential part of the product-rollout strategy.”

Never mind the screws, it's the humans which are important here.
The screws has to be one of the weakest claims for several reasons. It is more a "we suck at planning" story on several levels. Even if they went with Chinese screws doing it in advance and in large numbers would give them the best price per unit. This isn't even a "we accidentally made it an antenna" screw up but a "we failed to do basic math and planning ahead".
>look at Snowden. The guy ruined his own life and nobody still gives a damn. Was it worth it? i dont think so.

I enjoy using a mix of the two. I find that some things are better expressed in OOP over FP, and will regularly mix them in the same code base. It lends itself to very nice code that doesn't force you to do anything but make it easier for someone who has never seen it to fix it.
I doubt Linux faires that well against something like INTEGRITY OS.
I’m not sure but most people around me speak negatively about Dropbox in terms of security. The most common expression is: “Things on Dropbox are to be considered public.” My assumption is that anyone can achieve reasonable security of they care enough about it, therefore I would blame Dropbox management for their priorities there. Given the business of HelloSign, that feels like a possibly dangerous combination.

However, I agree with you: “offers to buy” would be more neutral and feel more appropriate. “Snares” has other nuances (surprise, violence, asymmetry) but neither convey a discussed at length, mutually agreed and beneficial relationship.
They want the data, they don’t need it.

This is probably either a ‘grab whatever you can’ or a panopticlick-like strategy though.

America mines its own minerals and pumps its own oil. China cannot. This was the same weakness Japan had. In an American-Chinese conventional or proxy war, among the first Chinese targets would be its ports, pipelines and oil tankers.

I interpreted it as Dropbox was fortunate to acquire HelloSign.

Also, this may just be some creative writing. Dropbox’s announcement did not use such language.

There's a good reason to expect that it usually will be an oversestimate. Two reasons actually.

One, google has a strong incentive to avoid underestimates: Underestimates have a fairly high risk of causing RAM/CPU problems since the actual work that must be needed is higher than estimated, and that's an evil ugly problem when processing input from potentially malevolent anonymous users on the net.

Two, the simplest algorithm to compute the estimate is one that'll overestimate if you choose a good combination of search terms, such as two words that hardly ever occur together. The planner's statistics will know how common each search term is, but may not know that this particular combination is very rare.
It varies by region.

In Atlanta and thereabouts Home Depot is a minimum-wage job ($8/hr?) with no real benefits or employee discounts so you just get bodies to stock shelves. I've had much better luck in California ($15/hr?) where most of the employees seemed to be ex-contractors or otherwise experienced.
Apple's whole business model is trying to differentiate by not taking shortcuts. So if a weird screw is part of making a slightly better or more interesting design, they are going to do that. We already have plenty of Dell/Asus/Lenovo/etc companies for doing things in more efficient ways.
Not an apple fan but I don't think they pull the "non-standard" shenanigans on hardware not directly facing consumers. They must have had a reasoning here.
Fascinating -- I'd known of Hosack from the duel story, but hadn't known he was also a botanist and gardener. It's easy to forget that before the the 20th century, nearly all medicines were derived from plants [exceptions being, y'know, stuff like heavy metals].

Even putting aside the actual pharmacological effects of plants, there is an undeniable therapeutic property in simply being in their midst [e.g., in a garden]. Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed or flummoxed, I meditate in my small garden / orchard and begin feeling better straight away. I think it's something to do with the fact that being in the midst of a little ecosystem really creates a visceral feeling of being a part of something much bigger than oneself. It provokes a sense of wonder. Kind of makes the quotidian problems [debugging, say] seem less gargantuan.
AFAIK (and in evidence in this case) you can't use the normal "find in page" (control-f) when using canvas. Consistency in functions like find is one of the greatest things about the browser, this approach removes it. Probably (!) an implementation will add its own find, which may be better or worse, but as browsers are best thought of as universal information vehicles, it won't automatically fit into accessibility and extension schemes.
to be honest, this whole article smacks of public relations defense of Apple's continued manufacturing in China regardless of all the human rights issues, spying, and trade secret disputes.

sorry, but their actions in support of charities and other rights issues world wide will always be tainted by their association with the Chinese government. they are there only because its cheaper to operate and its only cheaper to operate simply because you have a government which does not respect rights, property, personal, and in many cases intellectual.
I'm from Romania, and my firstname.ro was available late last year, but someone else bought it...I don't have a problem with that...I was willing to pay 50 euros, since it's a common name, I assume it went for a lot more.

I don't understand why it would be 500 euros/year. Once you bought it, it's yours, you can renew it for 9/year.
Yeah I was sad about Singularity too. As for C++, yes it doesn't being an absolute guarantee of memory safety, but C is so error prone that it's ridiculous to suggest anything below an absolute 100% guarantee wouldn't be a compelling improvement. C++ was a gigantic improvement in the safety of C (i.e. such that following good coding practices actually gives you legitimate confidence your code is memory-safe) while still having all of its flexibilities, and yet it still got shunned, so I'm unconvinced that a nitpicky language like Rust makes all the difference just because of its formal verification. If kernel folks wanted compiler help with memory safety they could've embraced C++ and gotten most of the way there.
Is it going to make me or my business more money?
We exported all our manufacturing overseas at the behest of the masters of business administration as a matter of pure cost cutting. It isn't coming back easily.
I'm a heavy dokku user and I would love the same thing. Just simple replication to another machine in case of failure. A load balancer in front of them would be great for HA but I'd settle for manual fail-over as long as real-time data replication was as simple as dokku makes everything else.
Exactly. I mean: you can build a complete screw-making factory for just change (for Apple).

But no: just close the smart card division.
The other thing that impresses me is that the modules have remained electrically compatible, so (at least in theory) you could slot out a CM1 for a CM3+ and still expect it to work.
I am okay with giving trump his stupid wall if he can successfully bring back manufacturing from china. So far the only issue I can support him on is his (long overdue) war with china.

Simply they are tamper resistance. Albeit crap because it took about a week for the Chinese screwdriver factories to churn them out as well :)

I suspect they had to design their own screws however because most of the tamper bits have a lot of torque designed in which makes the heads deeper so they couldn't use an off the shelf design or it would intrude further into the chassis of the device.
Security screws do inhibit repair (in general), certainly have prevented me repairing things in the past. I've seen "head stripping" too, damaging the head to prevent removal (stopped me replacing my multimeter battery - hugely immoral).

Tri-screws (Nintendo), were one of the first things I had to buy "single-use" screw-drivers for.
it's an auction. I don't see the problem with that. But this is only to get the domain initially...after that, you pay the normal, reasonable price
Larry Littlefield writes a lot of interesting blog posts on generational equity, mainly with a focus on the US, and New York in particular:

That is why static if and version in D work very differently. Alexei Alexandescu criticized if constexpr in C++ for being a poor copy of static if that misses the point, but that was dismissed. But it is powerful enough to handle almost all cases of conditional compilation.

Friendly reminder that the important components of a successful SaaS is marketing, marketing, marketing, and code, so how to market the app should be considered just as important as how easy it is to code.

I'd probably recommend you take whatever your idea is and offer it as a consulting service that you do yourself manually. If people won't buy that, they won't buy your app, and you can prove the idea without doing any coding at all. Once you have an audience for the service, you can just sell the automated version.
There are a lot of things wrong with tech firms, but I don't think abusing workers by stealing their labor is one of them. Those jobs are appealing to people precisely because they pay so much.

This is a good place to point out that capitalism has created a higher standard of living for more people than any other idea in the history of the world, while socialist and communist experiments repeatedly end in bankruptcy and starvation.

The classic examples of the USSR, Cuba, and Venezuela still apply but now we're seeing a new failed socialist state -- the EU. As Ayn Rand so eloquently pointed out, the only way to raise up mankind is through liberty and paying people for their work. State control is antithetical to economic or social progress.
She is getting lots of attention because vapid socialism is in fashion right now.

She doesn't really understand the job she has, or how the government works. She is just making noise that sounds good to people who don't really think about policy implications.

In modern product design, there is no such thing as a standard screw. You just get a factory (in China) to make exactly the screw you want for the job.
Part of that is the structure of the economy, like you say. A significant proportion of it, as a millennial myself, is people having a terrible understanding of personal finance.

If you spend all your money on things to impress people or because "you deserve them", then you end up with an empty pot.

>It's really the same process, with but with noise removed

If it is "the same process", then how are we able to make a distinction between domestication and biolistics or crispr?

Even disregarding the literal human action part, the most notable difference is that the latter allows for genes to be moved between organisms even if the two organisms would not have done so even if given millions of years without human interaction. (Ex: Spider genes in goats).

I feel this defense of GMO's is weak, as is the defense of "It's the same food chemically." as some other's may claim. If it were actually the same outcome, then it would be useless as a technique.

I guess by OS programming I assumed they meant the kernel. Fuchsia is hardly an established OS at the moment so I don't really compare against it, and for Windows, MS's documentation has repeatedly discouraged C++. I'm sure some use C++ in the kernel anyway but I'm not under the impression it's generally accepted.
That seems like a great deal. Where did you find it?
