" at least 20 yrs and have not replaced cigarettes in any way."

Vapes have not been common in any easily usable format for 'the last 20 years' - it's really only been in the last few years have the formats really been workable.

And they have vastly changed behaviour, especially where it matters - among young people. There is essentially a vaping epidemic going on right now in high schools, and vaping has actually replaced smoking and then some [1].

Also I should point out that vaping and nicotine gum, are not perfect substitutes for smoking, so it's also hard to compare.

Do you know what the sales of 0mg nicotine 'juice' are compared to those with nicotine? Almost nada. Without nicotine vaping, then 'vaping' simply would not exist - there wouldn't be enough demand to justify the market for it.

Essentially nobody buys cigarettes without nicotine i.e. 'just for the taste'. The market is essentially non existent for that product. Ergo, it's the 'high' they are after.

I say this as a former smoker/vaper.

That might depend on your business and/or location.

Employees might need to share resources, for example, as was the case when I worked in a VR-related startup with a limited amount of headsets.

For your regular webdev based business or similar, I agree with your statement though.

The rich don't make their money off of taxable income. They make their money off of appreciating assets. You can tax them all you want and it won't change a thing. You could try to create a wealth tax, but basically anyone with any assets would fight it tooth and nail and it would never go through without something akin to a communist revolution.

> The C version was ported to be the Rust one, it seems, and uses those intrinsics too.

No. Although the Rust program was initially presented to me as a "port of fastest C SIMD variant" the programmer made additional optimizations not found in the C program:

- Moving the loop from outside into "bodies_advance(..)" (SSE pipelining(?))

- Bundle intermediate variables/arrays as struct NBodySim (caching)

- Fit array-sizes within struct NBodySim to the number of bodies (caching)

>Because the ceremony of a signature

Come to think of it, I remember "signing" pdfs in adobe reader by clicking a form field that produced a signature similar to[1]:

John Smith
Digitally signed by
CN=John Smith
[...]

This would satisfy the "ceremony" requirement. According to adobe[2] it looks like you can do this with self signed certificates, so it's completely free as well. But this option is significantly less popular than hellosign/docusign. I guess the value-add for them is having a web interface, but I'm not convinced it's worth the $150/year (significantly more for "business" or "enterprise" plans) for a web interface that essentially signs pdfs with self-signed certificates.

The PDO may not work as expected in the face of rising popularity of a product. This could be the case for Parmigiano-Reggiano. A recent #notonmypasta campaign [1] outlined abuses on milk-producing cows (e.g. 0 pasture days) in the PDO region. Cheese produced by potentially sickly animals can't ever be considered the pinnacle of quality. The BBC article attributing nearly-magic properties to the cheese just makes things worse. The article almost reads as an advertorial/counter-campaign.

I'd personally go for a Parmesan knockoff from a farm certified for animal welfare, rather than the PDO with shadows over the quality of the milk used.

Just a tangent: TLV is the most secure airport in the world though.[1] You wouldn't think the most secure airport is in the middle east but it is. Compare to Israelis' human approach, the billions dollars the U.S. spent by the corrupted TSA on invasive cancer causing body scanners and still have tons security breaches is a joke. The wikipedia page has a few reports explained in details why it works at TLV. Worth a read.

I'm a young male working in cyber security, but before this i was a trained cocktail barman/supervisor. this means i worked weekends, 12 hour shifts, holidays, whatever was needed to keep the bar running. (i felt super burned out, and i was only doing this 4 days a week)

now i work in a office, doing this cyber security work. i would never stay past 5:30, i'd never forgo PTO, or force myself to over work myself beyond respectable limits.

“This is paid time that employees accrued by choosing not to take vacation days, and instead do their work at BuzzFeed,”

is this the right attitude?
37 percent of companies have moved SOME production out of China. This does not mean 37 percent of ALL production has moved out of China. And the reason for these moves are mostly for tax avoidance.

I would be surprised if even 3% of aggregate production has moved out of China.

That being said, China might be missing out on a more significant portion of future production because of uncertainties (trade war).

I’m not sure this is considered a minus in Foxconn’s (and most capitalist’s) book
Precisely. Requisite: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
Really the default assumption should be that the employee desires to use his/her PTO and if they were unable to do so that situation would be a failure on the companies part (not having enough coverage, over promised a schedule, etc) and any PTO that failed to roll over should be paid out.

In my view that puts the incentives in the right places, firms that are unwilling to abide by those clear rules are likely trying to game the PTO system anyway and are committing a variety of fraud when they hire someone under those false terms.

Imagine making a linear regression to predict runners’ speed using data from two individuals timing their speeds. Not a very interesting problem. Assuming they’re both competent measurers, you would probably be best off taking half of the first measure and half of the second measure (aka the mean). But the clever linear solver might notice that you can technically get a better answer by weighting the first measurer by 3.001 and the second measurer by -2.002 due to natural variance and the way things happened to land. We can adjust the solver to not do this by punishing it for large coefficients (ridge regression) and that’ll mostly settle that.

But for a neural network with hundreds of mini logistic regressions built in... seems tough. Interpretability isn’t just knowing how decisions are made but also how much irrationality is being built into it. If one factor is being marked as a huge negative influence, what does that actually mean about the problem space? Maybe nothing. If you actually want an interpretable neural net model, you should probably hand craft layers of domain specific ensembles that you can individually verify and are closer to being self evident. Maybe you won’t know how it determines stripes or horselike, but if you feel good about those two models individually then it’s a much easier task to follow the last step which is: it’s a zebra if and only if it’s horselike and has stripes.
The work samples on their portfolio look pretty bad but I actually think this is a great idea.

Many businesses have ongoing design or development needs but not enough revenue to sustain adding a full time hire. This would be perfect for them.

In fact, the retainer model has been popular with agencies for decades. It allows the client to get work whenever needed without having to brief, scope, contract, and bid out a new team each time. On the agency side, it allows them the reliable revenue to retain the talented employees that the client hired the agency for in the first place.

It's a win win.

The missing observation here is the `Battle` or `Collide` operate at a level of coordination. It is at this level where FP shines.

Simply adding an `addDamage` method to the above system exemplifies where OOP shines. The above method works at lower, domain level, where the semantics of adding damage are specific to the object to which damage is being added.

The point here is that _both_ paradigms should be employed.

Fully agree.

I think that now is the time for not only new system level programming languages, but now is also the time for new OS implementations using said programming languages. That being said, "now" actually refers to a period of time that will be anywhere from 5 to 25 years long (and you might want to weight that towards the long end).
I've worked from home for 11 years. Wife and I established from the beginning that we cannot treat it as if I'm "at home". I now have 7 children. Occasionally there are some disruptions, but generally speaking, if you layout the ground rules early, it doesn't have to be a problem. Routine trips to the grocery store, helping with the homeschooling, and brief tickle sessions help to not be isolated in my case.
I get that Facebook is a solid target to pick for such a rant but frankly it's a tool like any other.

I can afford a $10k iPhone, but there's no way I'd buy one at that price. Price matters to almost everyone beside the top 0.1%.
It's a good idea to take PTO regularly anyway, for health reasons and to prevent burnout (although people vary about this), but especially so if you're in a state where it isn't compensated or you're in one of those "unlimited" PTO companies.
No. The 16 biggest cargo ships pollute as much as all the cars, not just 16 random cargo ships. Off those 100k cargo ships the extreme majority are much much smaller.

I've personally had a good experience so far with "unlimited PTO". I've been working at a company with that policy for a year now, and I've never had an issue taking as much time off as I need for vacations, personal days, etc. It helps that my supervisors are pretty cool about it.
