Which is why DNA and fingerprint evidence is so valuable as corroborating evidence (person x dna was at the scene and their car was seen at the area), and so hopeless as a dragnet. If everyone in the USA was in a DNA database almost every test would show multiple matches.

Then there is the issue of transference. Person x dna found on housemate y's underwear... rape or shared washing machine?
Sorry, how is k8s getting more widespread cut into ec2 nodes? (if anything k8s needs a bit more nodes)
I really do empathise with the authors sentiment, even the supposedly business grade lines of laptops are being consumerized with soldered RAM, no ports, no swappable batteries and cruddy 16:9 displays.

I wish Panasonic actually sold their gear outside Japan, they still build tools first and foremost, fashion accessories second. The Lets Note RZ6 looks fantastic.

The pre-existing rails are currently at capacity with freight trains, and for good reason. We can't replace that without harming the logistical system that keeps the central US at something approximating the first world.

It's better just to build more capacity and reserve it for passenger.
Restaurants (and some other places) are allowed to pay less than minimum wage by law (thought they are required to covert the gap if the tips aren't enough to bring the user up to minimum wage; I've never seen it happen). If you're not part of the group allowed to do this, you don't get to.
RaiseMe | Senior and mde-level Full-stack engineers | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, Full-time

https://raise.me

RaiseMe is expanding access to higher education by reinventing how students earn scholarship dollars from colleges. Our platform allows colleges and universities to award incremental "micro-scholarships" to high school and community college students, based on academic, testing, extracurricular, and real-world experience. We've over 250 college partners, and users in 1 of 2 high schools in the US. Many of our students earn tens-of-thousands of dollars for college. The coolest part of our platform is how it educates students about the possibility of college in the first place. Many of our users are first-generation college attendees, or minority or low-income students.

We closed our Series B in 2018, bringing our total funding to around $30M. Our investors include Salesforce Ventures, Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, The Emerson Collective, Teamworthy Ventures, and First Round, among others.

Here's some awesome press coverage about us:

Historically, teams would just make their existing servers last longer. Considering most of AWS premium services have an open source alternative, guessing most people will port to containers. Built on open source has been their source of strength but is also their achilles heel. They shortened the learning curve on to their platform and off of it.

For what it's worth, I have an old cheap LG phone that I once accidentally sent through the laundry and it was fine.
Amazon has people locked into Lambda, Google and Apple have people locked into device integration, and Microsoft has people locked into Office and in a short while Github CI integration.

All three are trying to differentiate more and more (with varying degrees of success) while they increase the price of the commodity services so it doesn't compete with the differentiated ones. They will not compete on price with each other.

I just don't know what will happen if somebody plays an Amazon at the commodity segment, and go selling services with thin margins.

They don't see it as manipulative, which is the problem. They see it as "this is our product, we need a way to understand usage".
Isn't his second point incompatible with the first one? In the second, he implies that human minds might be Turing machines due to no one proving otherwise.

But if human minds were Turing machines, then they are certainly axiomatic systems since Turing machines are axiomatic systems. This contradicts his initial point which concludes that not all of our sources of knowledge are axiomatic in nature.
That's why I just keep twenty in singles in my wallet, I never pay cash for things but can just hit zero on the app and give the tip in person.
That is certainly how I feel. There are a lot of good free bloggers out there that have better opinion pieces than those in the establishment media, and there is no way I’m going to pay for the latter. At the same time, I greatly value the media’s role in investigative journalism and wish I could support outlets / journalists that break important quality investigative news, but there really isn’t a good way to do that.

I think video functions as a much better format for investigative reporting though - it is much more engaging, slightly more trustworthy (because you don’t have to e.g. trust the journalist’s description of tone / body language, although selective editing can still be done), and harder for other media outlets that haven’t done the investigative legwork to just copy and redistribute.
This is because the strongest advocates of free trade don't treat economics as a useful model, they treat it as doctrine.
Is 10 gPa (is that the right capitalization for gigaPascal? Gigapascal? GigaPascal?) anyway? Is that something routinely used in the lab or in production of commercial materials like chips or other electronic equipment?
Taxing and social services aren't the only way that redistribution occurs. When people are rich enough, they become lazy tourists. Then they travel to poor countries and spend money in restaurants, hotels etc.

Similarly, hard working immigrants travel from poor countries to rich countries to do menial work that rich people can't be bothered with. They often send some money back home.

If the US can sell their excess maize in poor countries, it lowers the cost of food for the poor people in those countries. (Especially true when the local harvest is poor)

I think the loophole that Instacart is hoping to squeeze through is the difference between employees and "independent contractors."
It's a hopeless quest until AI reaches a certain level of objective interpretation.

Regarding humans, most people who are capable of researching truth without any bias, don't have a voice. Human history is riddled with partisan extremists presenting biased information as neutral and factual. Snopes is no exception.
I don't think anybody should be prosecuted for any self-administration of any substance provided there was no harm or direct, undue risk of harm to others (e.g. DUI). That's a bit of a tangent though.

Instead, let's take a look at scenarios where you might buy over 9000 mg in a month. The maximum recommended dose is 50mg every 8 hours, so 3 times a day. 9000/50/3 = 60 person-days. If it's allergy season and they're all taking the maximum dose, a family of four could hit the limit in 15 days.

Inefficient distribution (making sure there's always some in both of the cars, each kid's backpack, at each adult's work) makes it even easier to hit the limit. The largest size normally available is 96x25 mg. Four of those is 9600 mg. Just trying to get a box for each family member makes you a criminal.

If you disseminate the message, it is your message.
Passenger service on the rails could work just fine if Amtrak got serious about schedule. I know people who shipped by rail - there were big fines if the train engine showed up and all cars were not loaded - they were always ready at least half an hour beforehand to ensure that wasn't a problem. Amtrak regularly doesn't leave on time, and then they miss their window to get on the track and have to take whatever time is left after all the scheduled trains that run on schedule are there.

The real problem is in the US rail travel doesn't make sense. Other than trips up the coasts we are too spread out. Flying from city to city is a better use of human time.
I can't believe the massive number of HN users here who are willingly throwing critical thinking under the bus just because of political bias. It's maddening that people are making the jump from "Snopes posted something possibly incorrect about soda cans" and "Snopes one time fact checked shitty satire" directly to "Snopes is untrustworthy".

Everything is imperfect, even fact checking groups. If you're going to throw them under the bus for these tiny errors, I sure hope you've already incinerated every computing device you own, because boy do you have some things to learn about them.
Or even better lets say you want to save 75% of your income for 20 years then do some fun stuff. Suddenly high income/high cost areas look much better.
Yes, but for small businesses that often means no VAT at all. For instance, the VAT registration threshold here in the UK is £85,000. Yet, until last month, you would have had to register for VAT even if you sold just pennies worth of (digital) goods into other EU countries.

I'm not quite sure how it affects US companies. There is no sales tax on exports from the US. So I think even if a US company would normally charge state level sales taxes on local sales, they would no longer have to charge VAT on any sales into the EU below 10,000. But I could easily be wrong on that.

I'm not an accountant.
What it really means in terms of exact timing is that an AWOS (weather station) will record measurable precip between the 1000 report and the 1100 report.

Sometimes percent means forecast confidence, sometimes it means that they can't predict what area will get hit with rain. Like synoptic conditions will say "this region will definitely get a few thunderstorms", but when you drop down to mesoscale then you can't tell which city will actually get the rain.

In longer-term forecasts, 10% usually means "I have no idea what's going to happen, so I guess precip is possible then." At mid range, like 3-5 days, it usually means "we haven't nailed down the timing of this thing yet".

If you actually want to know what the logic is, go read the forecast discussions.
Both are doing fine financially.

Nothing specific atm. I do agree that startup could mean a lot of things. But I've learned already quite a lot from the questions that were provided, for which I'm very thankful.
Very cool engineering!

(reading back over this comment, I might appear overly negative, but I would think all the issues I raise are solvable)

What's the throughput like on those systems? I could imagine at peak times it might take a while to get your car back. You'd also want to make sure you didn't leave anything in the car accidentally. Finally, imagine the trouble one of these breaking down would cause.
Yes, we've been improving our scraping technology for the past 8 years as we've worked on YipitData (the #1 provider of web data to wall street).

Python is the only supported language right now. Scrapy is an awesome project, but we have a very different approach. We strive to be Flask instead of Django.

If you want to, you can use ReadyPipe entirely in the browser through jupyter notebooks instead of needing to setup a local environment. This is especially helpful with more complicated systems using Selenium and Puppeteer. We discuss a lot more of the features that differentiate us on our homepage: https://readypipe.com/ and the docs https://docs.readypipe.io/

For stable, publicly traded companies it is practically the same thing.
I think what we all want is a proper import-statement.

> as a new compilation unit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Compilation_Unit )

> Single Compilation Unit (SCU) is a computer programming technique [...] The technique can be applied to an entire program or to some subset of source files; when applied to an entire program, it is also known as a unity build.

Who came up with that? I would say this "technique" doesn't even justify having a wikipedia page. In modern c++ you can be glad if you have a c++ unit that doesn't need to recompile on change because of all the header-only stuff. No one would include .cpp-files by choice.
Yikes, my comment has been flagged even though my joke clearly referred to the parent's comment about looking like Vin Diesel. Nobody has a sense of humour anymore, I suppose in this outrage culture.

Legally of course you're right, and I suspect you already know about the Medical Information Bureau's repository of adverse health info used right now.

Where we'd part company I guess is in seeing an equivalency of consequences in the lack of car as compared to the lack of health insurance.

How to plan your day to get the best out of your brain
I don't know your background, so it is hard to know what to recommend. If you have a PhD in a subject area then in theory you should have enough general knowledge to be able to effectively read a recent review article explaining the state of the art in some sub-discipline. I can then use the references in that paper to read about the concepts and ideas I am not familiar with and I think are important to understand.

Using google scholar (not regular google), I found this recent article "Contributed Review: Culet diameter and the achievable pressure of a diamond anvil cell: Implications for the upper pressure limit of a diamond anvil cell" https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5049720

I would read this to update my ideas about what diamond anvil cells can do right now.

Then, if I wanted to actually use one or find out if I should use one, I would talk with one of the authors of a paper referenced in the review paper that I thought was good and dealt with the particular reason I wanted to use one.

That was a bit long winded. Hope it helped.

Hi, I've been working as a full-stack developer for the last 4 years. Before that I got a BSc and MSc on Computer Science. My thesis involved quite a lot of statistics, which was interesting.[1] I enjoy doing back-end stuff but would also love to get back to some more math/algorithms-intensive software development.
