Something also fascinating, we find something similar in the "citra kavitvani" from an Indian poet named Rupa Goswami. Except his poetry is designed to make sense when read from different points in the calligraphic image, as well as having the poetry make sense when the words themselves intersect in the wonderful designs he has created.

I've eaten the same meal for lunch almost everyday for the last two months: https://www.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/comments/8trml3/one_pan_...

I did it for health and weight loss reasons but it's also very tasty, easy to prepare and cheap! Highly recommend!

> The Sixth is fascinating, and I'm guessing it hinges on the Manning's opposition to a closed hearing. It's incredibly hard to close even hearings where judgement won't be issued, rather than merely closing specific segments, and giving someone a choice between private testimony and prison looks sort of like a de facto private trial.

It's not a trial, it's grand jury proceedings, which are invariably closed. Any resulting trial is a separate process.
When I was in grad school, there was a huge collection of food carts right outside the building. You could get a large meal of virtually any cuisine for $5-6.

As a single person who liked variety and worked a lot, it was a slam dunk: fast, tasty, and relatively cheap.
I think the point on forgotten frame works / new tech is -- nothing is _really_ new. Knowing ten web frameworks inside out isn't really 10x more than knowing one, because they have a tremendous amount of overlap. Relatedly, I've forgotten how a couple frameworks work because there's nothing interesting left behind, that isn't present in the newer ones. I'm quite sure if I had to go pick one back up, it would look very familiar. perhaps I know more about it now than I did when I "knew" it.
I mean sure, video chat is overrated... but the tech is there, it just turned out it isn't quite as desirable as first imagined!

Firefox Hello worked remarkably well IMHO, it was super simple to use.

The field is full of video chat clients though. Uber-Conf is popular, although I think the % of problem free calls I've had with them is less than 50%.

Zoom has worked well for me, no real issues.

Facebook Messenger, privacy issues aside, works well.
Sure, but that's besides the point (and not applicable for personal trips). Should I (or my employer) have to pay more money to get reasonable accommodations on a flight due to my physical nature? Surely there would be an uproar if an airline started charging extra for accommodating people with disabilities?
generally, large corporations (and wealthy people) do not, and will not, leave the US because of taxes. people want to live here and companies want to do business here. badly. but they also want an unfair advantage and will say anything (like "we'll just take our toys and leave!") to try to get it.

It seems odd that this comment, of all of the ones I've made, is getting downvoted.

Did I break a taboo? Am I not supposed to notice that the + operator in C++ programs can represent vastly different amounts of CPU work and memory usage in different contexts? Or that RAII does substantial amounts of work which is hidden from the source code?

Seems like magic is magic regardless of whether it happens at compile time or runtime.

Linking is always a largely a function of the ISA, because it is about taking partially finished chunks of code and glueing them together. In the case of dynamic libraries part of that has to do with the OS, more of it has to do with the instructions you have. Do you have segment registers, PC relative jumps or loads? How far do the instruction encoding allow, do you need things like branch islands, or TOCs, etc.
So write code! You don't need to work at Amazon or Google to be a software engineer. I've been independent my whole career and I'm working on multiple things that aren't mired in bureaucratic nonsense. The more code you write on your terms the more you can understand how long things take. You can identify opportunities and build or improve on them.

lcov can be really, really slow in how it handles its own file format. I ended up rewriting the genhtml stuff myself in Python (originally, it was to drive a treemap view, but extending it to handle the actual detailed coverage wasn't difficult), and then moved the "merge two files into one file" into Python as well for a >10x speedup. And Python is not known for its blazing speed.

After that, I ended up shifting to tackling the generation of the initial data from .gcda and .gcno, which is where I discovered bugs in both lcov and gcov in the collection process. One bug is that gcov somehow manages to compute negative edge counts on certain cycles in the graph, and when that happens, it double-counts those cycles.
You can actually get a lot just from grep (well, zgrep, which searches compressed files)

zgrep -A '@\[^.]\+\.ch' /path/to/collections/**/*.gz

will spit out (almost) all swiss email addresses. sprinkle some grep -v, wc and sort|uniq here and there and bob's your uncle :-)

(I'm in no way trying to dismiss the efforts--my method won't get you as much detail, but is enough to find you and your friends who asked to be searched in the dumps)

The Phantom Gambler
If you work with a bunch of people who commute a long way into work and do not cook and you want to fit in with your coworkers. Generally I would bring something in but be available for lunch because it's nice if you like your coworkers to hang out outside of work sometimes. This goes against my instincts for frugality. This was long before company provided lunches and the like, though, I've worked at places back then that were large enough to have on site cafeterias and we still went out most of the time. Also might be an age thing because we were all in our 20's and the veterans at those companies almost universally brought in their lunch.
Only after Google Video has been around and failed to reach the critical mass that Google hoped for.

Customer acquisition in ride sharing space is a fairly well-trodden path - start with a high promotional credit for signups/referrals, gradually lower those as desired metrics are met.

I guess in that sense an acquisition makes sense when the target is priced below the cost of customer acquisition, but I doubt that is the valuation Lyft/Uber are hoping for.

I agree, and I think the discussion of suburban vs urban doesn't focus on it enough. As a single (or at least, childless) person, the city absolutely is much more appealing to me. The moment I had children the city became much less desirable than the suburbs.

Unfortunately, cities, particularly American cities, are not ideal for families.

Ok. How about, "Show me your personal git commit log from yesterday?" That deals with most of 2 and 3—granted not all of the scenarios.

As for 1, there are many languages and frameworks that I wouldn't be able to say if they used best practices for, but I think I could generally recognize good vs. bad code with no prior knowledge of the language.

There is a great 2h+ video, recorded live from earlier today, that soft-answers a couple of these questions. There was a panel discussion with NASA folks [2], where they talk about some successes of re-entry and parachutes deployment. You can watch the parachutes deployment yourself [3]. But, I think they will be sifting through this data for a few weeks before you have hard answers. Reddit is also a super active place for early news via https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex.

It is also incredible that we can watch all this real-time too. Just amazing!

To be fair, I did not see anything recommending that the reader switch to Firefox; the article was mostly about "newer versions of Windows don't have the bugs shown".
This article seems excessively negative about a company:

* Which provided $8B worth of rides in a single year

* Didn't hurt anyone

For crimes which amount to:

* May cost some IPO underwriters money

* May not make all of the employees rich

* May cost VCs money

The worst thing to really say about such a company is "I enjoy their convenient rides but I won't buy their stock".

Instead, the article attacks the founders for their age (too young), ridicules their visions of the future, and compares them to other young founders. Bewilderingly, the author compares the founders to Zuckerburg, which doesn't fit the point of the article at all. Not content with all of that, the author takes a shot at Musk for selling fantasies, when he has done more than many people thought possible.
> All the tokens allow is offline generation of secrets.

Which negates the whole benefit of having short lived secrets, which was the whole crux of why you were suggesting it.

> Also, soft tokens are a thing and are basically free to generate.

So now instead of buying every citizen in the US a token we're buying every citizen a smartphone or legally requiring them to have one? Seems problematic.

> Also also, printing secret codes on drivers licenses seems like an amazingly bad idea...

Then print them on a separate sheet of cardboard. Still a massive order of magnitude cheaper than what you're suggesting which could range from $0.5-20B+ depending on implementation.

I'm suggesting a more flexible SSN that solves the major issues we already facing. You're suggesting a token based system without actual tokens, smartphone apps without actual smartphones, and printed list of codes.

Ah, I do apologize then. I misinterpreted your post.
Is there a reason to postpone it until the kids finish high school?

I tend to see a lot of this reasoning but never truly understood especially if both of you are on the same page.
Lying seems to have a strong moral component in English that doesn't seem to be evident here. Most people would say that a proper "lie" involves intentionally trying to convince somebody of something that you know is not true, usually for personal gain. If Musk honestly believes that he can do it, then I guess it isn't technically a lie, even if most people who know the industry say he would have to be delusional to believe that.

It does feel a bit pedantic to say that though. If Musk is sometimes delusionally optimistic instead of intentionally deceptive, how much does it matter to us? I guess the level of delusionalism does vary some - Tesla might meet vehicle production targets, SpaceX might meet their intended date for the first crewed mission, but a Tesla car with current production hardware driving coast to coast while the driver reads a book sometime this year has no chance whatsoever of happening.

Also worth considering that the Silicon Valley VC universe does tend to reward people who could be described as being delusionally optimistic, and thus encourage them to continue to think in that way.

People are convinced that autonomous vehicles are a 'data problem' and if we just log enough miles and 'train' our 'ai' enough, they'll be perfectly safe.

I'm of the opinion it's literal fantasy. Maybe in 50 years, heck, maybe in 30. 5-10? I can't see it.
Can you show me a Waymo product of any kind? I can buy a Tesla today and the car can drive for extended periods on the highway using their driving tech.
I'm all up for that, the amount of people sharing hate and misogynistic views is heartbreaking.

I come from the opposite direction: I'm not so sure humans are all that conscious. My personal theory goes something like:

* Consciousness is a side-effect of the brain running "what-if" scenarios that include anticipating it's own actions. Self-awareness. This definition allows for non-human consciousness, but also doesn't take a stance on it, as it also allows for a range of awareness, rather than a binary state. (that said, I'll talk in binary terms for simplicity)

* Consciousness is calorically expensive - the brain shuts it down when it isn't needed, because it stops adding value then in terms of survival.

* Side effect: The primary job of consciousness is to figure out how to turn the unexpected into the routine, which in turn shuts down consciousness.

Result: We spend a lot of time NOT self-aware, then back-fill that we must always be self-aware when we consider that time (because we are self-aware during that consideration). Impossible to self-measure, but my personal guess is that we spend somewhere between a high number of minutes to low number of hours "sentient" each day.

Note: I'm using Self-aware/consciousness rather broadly here. Even if it's illusion, there's a state of having that illusion (or however to phrase that) and a state of not being aware that you aren't even considering...anything. (Dang it is hard to describe that without using language that assumes awareness).
Just curious as to why you say bread with 'minimal yeast', particularly after listing sourdough?
Companies do get spun off all the time, if it's determined to benefit shareholders. Why should the government take on this role? It's doubtful they would make decisions that are in the best fiduciary interest of the stock holders, the employees, and the customers. Generally it's best to let market forces play out. Amazon, Facebook & the Goog are pretty massive right now, but things change quickly. Ten years from now, there may be new behemoths that dwarf these companies even as these companies now dwarf former titans like Microsoft and IBM.

If you're just using the Foursquare API, they don't. The search API call doesn't require anything more than Lat and Long: https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/api/venues/search

However, they also have their Pilgrim SDK, which you incorporate into your app to have constant, passive location data available:

> Welcome to the Pilgrim SDK—the always on, passive location detection engine by Foursquare. The Pilgrim SDK provides contextual awareness to mobile applications and connected devices to understand where and how your users are moving through the real world.

> By default, Pilgrim SDK runs in the background and pushes you visits when it detects a stop.

My guess is that the Pilgrim SDK includes the device Advertising ID in the data it sends back to Foursquare to implement this.
The better analyses I've seen say that Lyft could be profitable, if they stopped subsidizing growth via their profit centers, but then they have to somehow overcome the one-trick pony problem and it's not very clear how.

Uber, on the other hand, has several verticals, and also enough muscle to be able to strike profitable deals w/ local competitors, as it has already done in various countries.
You can get that down to single cells, actually.

Transcription factors (genes whose product activate or inhibit other genes) form regulation network that are equivalent in function to neural nets. There's also evidence of memory in single cell organisms.
Using DLT for Mobility Usecases
I just started reading the geiser.el elisp code with the long-term objective of obtaining evaluation support for kawa scheme. I don't feel I master elisp yet but I'm at the point where I'm not afraid of hacking together some dirty elisp code. Even so, I didn't think there were so many relevant topics I didn't even hear about. Great resource for my objective and skill level I guess.
> My car is idle most of the time. I usually only use it for 1-2 hours a day during the week and less on the weekends. I could use Uber or Lyft instead but I don't. I could rent out my car when I am not using it but I don't. It is idle because I want to use when I want to use without coordinating with anyone.

That's such an interesting comparison that I relate with. If availability and startup time are good enough, I'd be happy to use a shared resources for both CPU and cars.

This is a better article on the recovery than the one I linked from TechCrunch.

I would like to reiterate the point made before which is that SpaceX is on the verge of being in a place that no company has ever been before with regard to space.

The are on the cusp of having a capsule that they can send into orbit for days and then return to Earth. They already have rockets capable of putting tons of material into every orbit level (Low, mid, and geo-stationary). SpaceX is also nearing completion of their own launch facility in Texas.

When all of those things are added together, SpaceX can do space 'tourism' like nobody else. They could offer a 'day trip' on a Dragon into orbit. By partnering with Bigelow Aerospace[1] they could launch a habitat into orbit where they could ferry their own paying customers to spend a week in space. With their own launch facility they are freed from the scheduling hassles of the dozens of other clients who compete for space on those launch pads.

That would definitely feel like living in the future to me.

I'm a bit worried that we might be seeing "peak YC".

Clearly, Sam Altman and Michael Seibel are the most influential and impactful people that drive YC forward. Sam's on the way out, and I wouldn't be surprised if Michael also leaves in 1-2 years. Is YC going to be able to innovate without them?

Furthermore, I would suggest that YC is becoming more risk-averse as it grows (as any organization does). Will that mean worse decision making?

Another point is that the average age of YC partners is growing. Will that hinder them to spot and understand new trends, and pick the right companies?

Now, this is an outside-view analysis. I've spoken to a few YC partners (as part of office hours or at events), but never went through YC myself. I know quite a few people who did, and they seem always most impressed with Sam and Michael.

Edit: Typos
the advantage of older developers is that they have seen the same patterns before. For instance, younger devs might think microservices is the hot thing while an older dev is thinking that it just looks like a poor man's erlang from the 1970s and knows to wait a few years when all the CI/CD and orhestration is integrated and commoditized.
canned fruit can have a lot of added sugar though
Great, but that means that for the "knowing frameworks" box, there is no advantage in hiring an experience dev over a younger one.
Lyft/Uber came back after the state legislature passed a law that nullified Austin's background check requirement. The same thing happened with Austin's plastic bag ban, btw - some say the state legislature exists just to punch Austin government.

I use the bus service (Capital Metro) occasionally and I have to defend them a bit: they try and they keep getting better. They have 1 rail service that runs from the NW parts of town to downtown, and it runs full during commute times, taking a few hundred drivers off the road in the process. They created dedicated commuter buses for remote neighborhoods (e.g. the 980 and 985 service) to enable office workers and students avoid the traffic; these also are quite full every day and help keep traffic saner - the park-and-ride that I use is full of hundreds of cars daily. In addition, the Metro Rapid service and the Every 15 initiatives have looked like improvements to me for the few occasions that I used them.

I haven't tried the public transportation in Dallas or Houston so I can't say they are better but Austin Capital Metro I think has tried to do a reasonable job.

It's incredible that this could ever be considered "normal". And all in the name of political correctness, no less.
I agree, our major issue is that we can't get over this intuition that we must be special somehow. This quote from Westworld really gets to the heart of it, for me at least:

> There is no threshold at which we become greater than the sum of our parts; no inflection point at which we become fully alive. We can't define consciousness because consciousness does not exist. We humans like to fancy that there's something special about the way we perceive the world, and yet, we live in loops as tight and as closed as the hosts do—rarely questioning our choices—content, for the most part, to be told what to do next.
