Go find a small local dairy (in the US.)

There's a good chance they wash and re-use the bottles. The deposit might be greater than the cost of the milk.

I vaguely remember buying a bottle of milk once at Whole Foods and needing to return the bottle for my deposit.

In the 1990s, I had an after school job at a local dairy that was loosing a ton of money on their bottles because they didn't charge a deposit, and many customers didn't understand that we needed them back. We had a giant machine to wash all the bottles.
People often don't even need to declare bankruptcy. Lots can get away without paying and the hospital will write off the charges without any ill effect.

Of course a standard container would work just fine from the consumer's point of view and of course the companies will survive. The problem is for how long are they willing to delay this until losing the uniqueness of the shape is a better alternative to the social stigma attached to environmental carelessness.

And the Coke was just one example. A Google search for "iconic packaging" [0] will give you a lot of other examples of packaging so recognizable and unique that you can identify the product just by glancing at the shape.

Remember, the SEC's function is to protect investors. Likewise, the function of the Chairperson of the Board is to represent investors on the Board. The SEC didn't remove Musk as Chair to punish him for his actions. The settlement required Musk to step down as Chair to give investors the representation they're entitled to because Musk didn't fulfill the fiduciary obligations of the role.

Some Tips on Migrating from Medium
Context for those who haven't played:

> or try to rodeo a Lynel

Taming one of the toughest non-boss enemies in the game, starting at 2,000 HP and ranging up to 5,000 HP.

> in my shorts

No equipped armor/clothes, meaning no reduction to damage if hit

> with three hearts

Early-stage, just-started Link. In tandem with "in my shorts," every hit from a Lynel in this condition would be a one-hit kill. Beyond that, it's implied that Link in this condition might only have access to the most primitive weapons (around 25-30 HP per hit before meal/potion bonuses), though even assuming the absolute maximum damage doable from even the best weapon with the best consumable bonus (~110 HP), you're looking at landing 19 hits on the weakest of these guys without being touched.

It's doable on speedruns by advanced players who've gotten a hang of all of the game mechanics. Fixermark's point is more that BotW gives you the option of embracing this sort of masochism should you choose, but it includes a predefined soft-path should you not.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but bankruptcy in the USA is not really the catastrophe you might think it is.

You can keep a lot of your assets, generally including your retirement accounts, at least some equity in your home, your car, your personal property. Your credit is badly dinged and you'll have trouble borrowing money for a while, but even that is only a temporary setback.

I know people who have gone through it, in once case more than once, and at least from appearances they have a pretty normal lifestyle.

The recovery from a bankruptcy is probably a walk in the park compared to recovery from cancer (not speaking from experience). Ultimately it's just money.

Yes I actually have. As I have explained, the human race will come to a sad end because of ai. What is the point of creating more generations when ai is just around the corner? It was unpleasant enough for me to discover for myself the obvious truth of ai. Why should I subject another generation to the agony of slowly realizing that human kind is caught in an existential snare? And what right do we have to create new people who will very likely suffer through massive societal decline at the best? Have you thought any of this through?
Kind of a tangent, but also check out the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube, "a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_tube
In South India, it's traditionally eaten with rice as the last course of a proper meal. It's the perfect antidote to hot curries and pickles that come in the main part of the meal, so a meal isn't complete without it.

My South Indian friends in grad school would have curd rice. They'd mix sour cream and yogurt as a substitute. They often lamented not being able to get the exact ingredients in South Carolina. Sometimes I make some curd rice up for myself. My Chinese wife looks at me strange when I do.

Going to relatives' places you'd notice two differences in their cooking: the way they made their chai (brand of tea, how much sugar, cardamom or not) and the texture and tanginess of their yogurt.

From what my mom says, the same used to go for Korean families and how fermented vs. fresh and spicy the kim-chee is.

Not to detract from Julia, but I’ve always found it odd that Julia users report that “Julia runs on X” when in fact it’s more that one can use X from Julia or generate code for X by rewriting Julia code.

By analogy, and contrast, no one says Python runs on GPUs, just because TensorFlow allows describing models in Python that then get run on the GPU, or Numba rewrites Python loops to CUDA PTX.

It looks like marketing tbh despite know that Julia is a very solid language technically and shouldn’t need these kinds of rhetorical tricks.
It's not an artificial line because of stuff like this, which you mentioned:

> specially zoned drop off, pick up, and lane privileges that Uber and Lyft don’t get access to

There are clear differences between the state and private businesses. The state can make laws to prevent private businesses from competing with it, can grant monopolies, etc.

The state is not operated for profit, and the profit motive is the only reason things like Uber and Lyft exist -- the state never would have thought to create something like that.
Chrome is just a better browser. Also, Google already has all my information, so who better to trust with my browsing history?

Evidence that if the profits of new drug drops significantly that the money spent on R&D on those new drugs will also drop?

Imagine the government decides to tax 80% of all revenue from all technology companies forever. Do you think funding for startups would increase, stay the same, or drop?

The obvious answer is drop, but what type of evidence would you expect to support this statement. A study of people taxing technology companies @ 80%? Or are you arguing with the premise that investment rates are correlated with profitability?

> she was allowed to report a story

Even if that’s true (sorry, I’m too lazy to fact check stuff about a person I didn’t knew existed 1 hour ago), what she reported in the past is still not too relevant to this particular story

With sufficient motivation and modern internet, people can find unpleasant things about the past of any person, including you and me.

Just because we can doesn’t mean we should. Also doesn’t mean we should stop discussing any subjects at all, and instead discuss what the article authors did 15 years ago.
Very much this.

Different environments result in, over time, different ideologies— humans follow a typical evolutionary path with this, but the adjustments in this case are mental rather than physical.

I love to take risk, but some of my family is from the Soviet Union, and they're extremely risk-averse. Their idea of success in life is to have a stable career as a doctor, lawyer, or engineer.

One ideology isn't inherently better, it's just about which ideology is better suited for which environment. If I were placed in the Soviet Union, I would probably die quickly with my risk tolerance. Meanwhile, while their recipe for conservative success produces solid results in the United States, I would argue that a higher tolerance for risk would produce a better average performance.

The most critical part of this lasting is, of course, what percent of that ideology is inherited rather than questioned... how 'sticky' that culture is, when applied to the immigrant's children. While complex, this is often a function of the closeness of the family unit in that given culture.

It had an immediate and significant positive effect on my heart, which at ~38 years old was starting to seriously misbehave. (Most likely paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, although after wearing a heart monitor for two weeks the doctors declined to diagnose. At this point my heart was misbehaving badly enough that I straight-up was not getting any quality sleep, just to give you an idea of how thump-ety-thump we're talking here.)

Re my comment about science still being useful, there are certainly papers about taurine supplementation being useful for people suffering from atrial fibrellation. IIRC, I did not find any references on that for Celiac specifically, but since Celiac is basically "generalized failure to properly absorb nutrients" it's not much of a leap to assume it's related.

For heart purposes, it should be matched with 1/2-1/3rd (from the looks of it; it's about as well tested as most dosages, which if you dig into them, are often a lot more guess-and-check than you might like) as much L-Arginine by mass, i.e., I take about 3g Taurine and 1g L-Arginine about three times a day. (I'm a big guy, but the papers often tested twice that, too, so it shouldn't be a dosage issue.)

It was ultimately only a part of the nutrient cocktail I ultimately ended up needing, but it was/is a very important part of it. On those occasions I run out of it, I can tell less than 24 hours later.

There are worse things than Celiac; at least I can supplement my way out of the worst aspects of it, and that's not a thing you can say about all chronic conditions. But it still sorta blows; I'm constantly playing nutrient catch-up with my body.

I love Volvo but I'm deeply disappointed by this direction. Google's support record for new initiatives is completely inconsistent with the lifespan of cars.

Think the owners of Revolv devices were pissed when Google bricked them? The Revolv was only a couple hundred dollars.

Nobody should buy a Google-powered car without a support agreement, in writing, that affirms the core functionality of the car will continue to work as long as the car can reasonably be expected to be repairable.

For a Volvo that should be about two to three decades. Fat chance.

> indistinguishable from a Markov chain generator

A Markov chain generator wouldn't:

* Capitalize the first word of each line

* Make lines of approximately the right length

* Mark text with who is to speak it

While this is just a toy example, it's powerful enough to start showing the ways RNNs can produce text that looks superficially correct.

This story is a little bit underreported. Not because this is a Model 3 competitor. But because it is launching with a native Android Infotainment. This is the iPhone moment of the car industry kick-started by Tesla. With electric drivetrain and battery making car manufacturing is almost a commodity. Cars now have to rely on advanced infotainment to differentiate themselves. Tesla didn't outsell BMW 3 series just because it has an electric car. It is outselling 3 series because it has a 21st century entertainment and control system. Something that can be continuously updated an improved. If this trend persists, Google and Apple will likely be the biggest players in the car industry.

I was confused when I first saw the project, cartoon logo and "Gremlin Free" name, and I'm intimately familiar with both the Apache TinkerPop Gremlin open-source project, its third-party libraries, and the extensive ASF legal process we went through registering and identifying the use of marks.

Read up on your trademark, IP and copyright law. The use of similar marks is not permitted when there is potential for confusion, such as two different software projects, esp with overlapping audiences.

NB: TinkerPop is NOT a "graph database", it is a collection of software libraries for connecting to, using, and managing graph databases and distributed processing platforms. Gremlin is a primary part of that stack -- Gremlin proper is the programming language, and the Gremlin GTM is the runtime.

That's a problem that we've been thinking about a lot. The way our fuzzing works right now is that your method consumes an array of bytes, which you can then use to build up arbitrary structures. It's simple, but manages to be really generic and flexible at the same time. Of course, it means you do have to define what your inputs look like.

We do have plans to build some tools to make this easier. I'd like to see a scenario where defining inputs is as simple as specifying the data types that your code requires. (Or perhaps even automatic detection, for less complex cases)

I'll give you a few personal examples.

I was visiting my home town and was doing some genealogy work with my mom. When my niece and nephew came over I closed my laptop, not thinking about saving my work. The next day, when I opened up my laptop I found that it had decided to install an update overnight while asleep not connected to power. I lost 2 hours of work due to said update, because the update forced close the app I was using. I hadn't agreed to any update at that time, and back on other versions of windows I have it set inform me of updates before it does it.

For a long while, windows 10 updates would fail on another windows only computer. Any update that needed a reboot would cause a loop where windows would fail to start after update, windows would reboot, uninstall the failed update, and try to reinstall the update the next day. Even a full wipe of the system did fix the issue.
But complexity theory aims at describing the performance of A over the space of all problem instances and it does so by abstracting away from individual problem instances.

I appreciate the effort to extend the story into CS, but I wonder if you have to be familiar with the particular work he's alluding to. The charge (as leveled against theoretical physics) is not that some people do pure mathematical work for the sake of beauty. The charge is that people who are supposed to be applying mathematics to reality are instead prioritizing mathematics and neglecting reality. To extend the analogy to CS, he must be talking about researchers supposedly trying to model real systems but instead just chasing beautiful math, but he isn't specific. Is it obvious to people in the know who or what he's talking about?

For practical programmers, I think the problem is the reverse of being "lost in math." Practical programmers use extremely general theoretical results because they don't want to do math, not because the math is more beautiful. If they applied the information they know about their particular problem, they could get more useful mathematical results, but since they want to stay as far away from (doing) theory as possible, they use whatever facts they remember from class, which are ironically the most purely theoretical ideas because those are the simplest and easiest to remember.

GP is talking about how other web browsers have different conventions for where different web browsers place standard UI elements. Tabs on top, tabs beneath the addresss bar, separated search bars, different icons and terminology for the same concept, different items in the "share" pop ups, different placement of global menus, different customisability of the basic user interface layout, etc.

These are things to which we technically minded can easily adapt, but for the less technically literate it's bewildering, confusing, and possibly enough to make them angry.
