It’s not that hard. Get a nice French press. At home we use one that that is large and steal. Get a good burr grinder. Get an electric kettle. Buy some decent whole beans where you know how long it has been since they where roasted. Boil the water, grind the coffee. Put coffee in press. Pour water over. Stir the mixture for ~20 seconds. Put the lid on the press but do not press it down. Wait 2-5 minutes (up to your taste, beans). Press coffee. Drink. Clean the grinder, etc. It only takes a few minutes of real time doing something each morning. So worth it.

Also if you like milk in your coffee switch to heavy whipping cream. You will use less and it taste richer. Shake up the cream a bit before putting in mug.
You are correct about that case, but others are well-documented, specifically regarding the AP and James Rosen:

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post stated: "The Rosen affair is as flagrant an assault on civil liberties as anything done by George W. Bush’s administration, and it uses technology to silence critics in a way Richard Nixon could only have dreamed of. To treat a reporter as a criminal for doing his job — seeking out information the government doesn’t want made public — deprives Americans of the First Amendment freedom on which all other constitutional rights are based."

> Trying to slim down those applications to make them reactive so that they will scale onto a phone or tablet just seems silly, and I fear that in the name of making "everything work everywhere", we're going to compromise a bunch of apps that worked beautifully on one platform in favor of making them work adequately on several platforms.

Which are the Linux GUIs that currently "work beautifully" on the desktop?

According to Nigel Nicolson in "Napoleon 1812," Tolstoy's fatalistic outlook about the war (if not all of his historical detail) is actually fairly accurate. The Russians didn't fend off Napoleon by understanding the nature of the complex system in which they were embedded, but rather through sheer indecision, which had the effect of an accidental Fabian strategy: preserving their army by avoiding any catastrophic battle in which it would have been entirely destroyed. The one major action fought at Borodino — which has a near-mystical significance for Russians — was motivated mostly by political pressure (to avoid the appearance of cowardice), but probably wasn't necessary at all. It was likely that Napoleon had already doomed his army the minute he crossed the Neman, due to his refusal to grasp the sheer scale of the supply and transport problem related to marching half a million troops into Western Russia in late June. In fact, his Marshals had mostly recommended against it — but due to the caprice of one man, one million people died in a year. It's hard to argue that one could understand, predict, or mitigate this.

Nicolson goes on to point out how the Nazis — who were well aware of the example — made many of the same mistakes as Napoleon, who himself was repeating the same mistakes as Charles XII in his doomed invasion a hundred years earlier.

It's not to say that the problems of war and society are impossible to understand — but human factors such as hubris, bias, cults of personality, politics by committee, etc. usually conspire to obscure their solutions, even with the perspective of time.

I would expect "absolutely no restrictions" to mean what it says.

An interesting question would be whether Jason is defaming the developers, claiming they have made an "unauthorized adaptation" and committed fraud?
I'm excited for Druid, personally.
The regulations on trucks (and diesel service vehicles in general) needs to be much more stringent, especially those that pass through urban centers. That is an industry that has pushed back at every turn and people just get misdirected to blaming Sally Suburban. The same thing happens regarding roads in general where we often imagine that industry and goods still appear at their destinations and the world rolls on if all of the roads were turned into parks.

That's the general case, though. This school might be dealing with other particulate sources, as another comment mentioned a large number of industrial sources nearby (e.g. cement plants are a big source). In which case maybe the school just isn't in the best place.

And it's worth noting that we now measure and pay attention to this but it was much worse in the past. Smelling the wonderful smell of a wood burning fire is usually an indication that you're in a dangerous particulate zone.
This is an excellent question, but my first impression is that they aren't doing anything sneaky.

I see that some of the data is labeled "per 100,000 individuals," not deaths.

Obviously, there is a specific policy push and point of view outlined in the paper, which is probably why most such papers are published.

But a lot of this data is from the CDC and should be independently verifiable and from Appendix B of the paper, I see that the ultimate source is something called "CDC Wonder".

And it looks like one can make a request for that data:

Oils start sweating out of the bean when you get closer to really dark roasts. You'll see a lot of Starbucks beans glisten.

Lighter roasts will never be shiny like that because they haven't been roasted long enough for the oils to react like that.

Always grind your beans just before you brew. Never buy preground coffee.
Obvious counterpoint: regulations which cap fees below the current level.
The people you would recruit that way would be way different than the people you recruit from college; it doesn't work very well.

How do I know this? My country has an apprenticeship system and software developer is actually an option, but nobody does this because it doesn't work very well. My company tried it; the person failed to produce even very rudimentary programs.

College really isn't about the education it provides; it is all about signalling that you can deal with deadlines, people and semi-complex problems. That signal often doesn't work though.
I do not see this reaction as passive-agressive. It is completely understandable, that a crew safety is above all other goals, and that we need to take all possible outcomes and get ready to them.

As to me the methodology of article is questionable, one can find anything he want to find in the words of other while following this methodology.

From the other side, English is my second language, and American cultural norms are foreign to me. I learned them to some extent but do not see myself very good with them. From one more other side, English and American cultural norms are foreign for Roscosmos too, so making assumtions based on some subtleties seems far fetched.

I do not deny that Roscosmos is frustrated by his loss of monopoly on flights to ISS. It seems highly likely that it is not very happy with that. But attempts to turn inside out his attempts to be generous on some subtleties when we cannot distinguish author wishes about reality and reality itself... it is just disgusting.
Hardin's work didn't just influence race/class based policies though. It's the (part of) reason we have stuff like fishing quota. Dismissing his entire work because in a fraction of the use cases it could be used wrongly seems absurd to me.

One thing author misses is standard cell vs full-custom design. Most ARM’s are standard cell that I’m aware of. Intel and AMD do their x86’s with full-custom design. Standard cell lets you write in a high-level language that’s synthesized into low-level, logical form using combinations of building blocks (“standard cells”). Like high-level programming vs assembly, there’s all kinds of performance costs to this vs making a custom, low-level solution ideal for the problem and process it runs on. Like doing huge apps in assembly, you need specialists that might cost more doing work that will take way, way, way longer with more difficulties in verification (more rework).

I don’t know if Apple’s ARM is fully-custom. It wouldn’t surprise me if the fast-path parts are. Standard cell designs can be pretty fast due to constant advances in synthesis. They’ll always be behind full-custom on same process node just because the latter puts more optimization effort in. Most choose standard cell since it’s faster to develop (time to market) and cheaper. Those wanting max performance or lowest energy will be using full-custom if they can afford it. Also worth noting that the Apple A12 is 7nm vs Core i7’s 14nm per Intel’s site. Apple to apples would compare that design on 14nm or node with similar performance to it.

Btw, there’s detailed analysis below of the A12 with specs, parts breakdown, and die shot.

Yep, absolutely. However there are ways to bring that into "the system" and regulate and monitor it just like other payroll functions. There is no reason that payday advances couldn't be done without those negative externalities if they we setup and structured correctly, rather than just your boss slipping you cash.
College has all the markings of a scam. The intense marketing using fear is the most obvious, ie: you'll be a loser if you don't get a degree

It's a pretty slick system, eliminate all the good paying low skill jobs with outsourcing and illegal immigration, forcing native citizens to go to college to get a decent paying job, make college loans unable to be discharged, massive increase in demand for college means that you can jack up prices.

The result is you now have an army of debt slaves that you can milk for decades

There is no reason for college in the 21st century, outside of a select few majors where you need physical labs. People calling for free university are stuck in the past, we should instead be providing open source textbooks and a set of exams to verify knowledge, proctored at public libraries. Why are we still learning like it's 300BC in Athens?
The crazy thing is that most colleges have evolved non-academic party tracks, or simple tuition-extraction tracks: https://jakeseliger.com/2014/04/27/paying-for-the-party-eliz.... Talking about "college," as if it's just one big unified thing, doesn't make sense today (if it ever did). I spent ten years teaching college, and I wish this point were better emphasized in the media narratives.
Sorry, but there's really no reason to force HTTPS on static webpages, news sites, or any site where you're just browsing/consuming.

Google is smart enough where they could've enforced the penalty on sites that should use HTTPS, such as those with any kind of form submission or login. But they chose not to without much of a reason, and that's why I can believe it helped some hidden motive of theirs.
Well, I must say, they're not really doing that good of a job. Btrfs is still largely less stable than even ZoL git snapshots in almost every possible way.

Degustibus non est ... and all but I will never understand the American preference for drip coffee. I say that as someone who drank press or drip exclusively until I lived overseas for several years and my Americano became an espresso at the cafe and my press coffee became Moka Pot stovetop at home. I've been back for 11 years and I still grind my teeth when the only option is drip.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Still, reading comment threads about the supposed differences between various drip techniques is always funny. Chemex? We used a plastic funnel thing that looked exactly the same in the 80s. The difference was Yuban (or whatever) instead of the far nicer quality beans on offer now.

But seriously, the Italians figured coffee out years ago. These discussions are like a bunch of people arguing over which fast food chain makes the best burger.
Not sure if you're posting this as a disagreement with the suggested model, or agreeing.

From the link, it looks like it costs ~$10bn per successful drug, at the top end of that list.

Australia paid $750m for 5 years access.

Australia has ~1/10th the population of the United States. and ~1/3rd the population of the UK.

If just the UK, USA and Australia paid at that same rate (per capita) then they would cover that 10bn average development cost in 5 years.

Seems like it's a good suggestion
This reminds me of a part of the Akka documentation about distributing your application across multiple machines:

> The key for enabling this is to go from remote to local by way of optimization instead of trying to go from local to remote by way of generalization. [1]

I think its analogous to this mobile/desktop "purist" OS. Specialize, don't generalize.

If they sold my data, then some companies have some really outdated material on me. I’m fine with that.
This reminds me of the idea of "wouldn't it be great if we could use the same programming language for frontend, backend, and database queries". Well, maybe, but in practice not really. They are doing different kinds of things, you will have to use them differently, it doesn't really help all that much to have the same language. It SOUNDS like this would be really helpful, until you get it, and then discover that it doesn't really help all that much, because what matters most is not the language syntax, but the problem space.

Laptops and smartphones are made for doing different kinds of things. The real-estate requirements are different, as are the typical use cases, and even in the case where you solve them both with, for example, dynamic web pages, you still end up coding for both use cases separately, you just now have it all stuffed into the same codebase, which is harder in many cases instead of easier.

I believe Microsoft has been trying to make all OS usecases the same for decades. I believe they have not succeeded, not because Microsoft is deficient somehow, but rather because it's not, fundamentally, a good idea.
Regulators also have incentives. In particular the rise of crony-capitalism in the US means that regulations end up becoming a cudgel to stifle competition as a form of rent-seeking from the government.

It's the baptist and bootlegger problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootleggers_and_Baptists

> "Such a coalition makes it easier for politicians to favor both groups. ... [T]he Baptists lower the costs of favor-seeking for the bootleggers, because politicians can pose as being motivated purely by the public interest even while they promote the interests of well-funded businesses. ... [Baptists] take the moral high ground, while the bootleggers persuade the politicians quietly, behind closed doors."

A few companies do, including Uber. The real issue is that the American banking system is insanely slow and outdated so transferring large sums rarely is way more economical than doing small sums frequently. ACH takes 1-3 days. Push-to-debit is expensive and not universal. Cutting checks daily would be a nightmare and raises a whole other set of issues around check cashing.

People are working on this from a tech perspective, but we are not there yet. In other countries this would be a lot easier to implement because the underlying banking infra is just more sophisticated and modern.

I understand how regulations increase costs. But increased costs can be recovered from in increased prices, decreased profits, or increased volume. I don’t see why it necessarily must be the first one, especially when these regulations often put a cap on fees.

Between the rise of youtube, the porn industry, "peak" TV and the constant stream of CGI-based movies, there is plenty of work in video production. A degree doesn't really matter, but knowing how to use the tools does. Whether you get hands on the tools at a university or a college isn't an issue.

The important question is - are the graphics and platform vendors onboard? Does webgpu sit directly on top of graphics drivers or is this just a MoltenVK/Angle style abstraction layer that abstracts away OpenGL / Vulkan / Metal?

This _did_ successfully happen with MathML. It was on track to get native browser support, but they decided it the polyfill (mathjax) was good enough and wasn't worth native support for such a niche feature.

It is interesting that you place a high value on Tesla when they are not even the affordable EV option. Is it the self driving aspect? Honestly curious what Tesla may be doing that other EV manufacturers really are not (other than being used as a status symbol).

Maybe I misinterpreted what "matters" means to you. I guess you mean a high valued position to a company? I originally interpreted it as a role with positive impact to society.

To those arguing against regulation and pointing out there's a demand for these loans, you're missing the point.

These products are designed to be deliberately deceptive. They exist to prey on the desperate and uninformed.

I honestly don't know the point of the Obama-era rule referenced in this article. To me this is simpler:

- "Fees" that scale with the loan size aren't fees. They're interest and should be legally treated as such. This would subject the loans to state usury laws.

- Providers should disclose what the annual interest rate is for the loan the borrower is intending to take out.

- Payday loans should be prohibited from being mortgage loans. This is an esoteric point but in some states to get around state laws on payday loans, they're treated as mortgage loans. This also adds the problem that someone could lose their house from payday loans.

- Come to think of it, primary residences should be excluded from being taken to repay payday loans.

The app issue is a chicken-and-egg problem that ultimately sank Windows Phone, Blackberry 10 OS, Palm WebOS, Firefox OS, Sailfish OS and Samsung Bada OS.

Fortunately in 2019, mobile devices aren't as reliant on native apps. I use Uber's PWA and Google Maps Go PWA, which used to be my biggest app-only dependencies. For other stuff, I find that the stock music and video player apps are more than good enough.
As mentioned in the PR, I have a version of spirv_cross (the Rust wrapper of SPIRV-Cross) working with the wasm32-unknown-unknown target now (https://github.com/grovesNL/spirv_cross/pull/92).

So currently the plan is to finish the spirv_cross changes, expand the unified OpenGL/WebGL bindings (the crate I've been calling "glow"), and rebase the gfx PR with these changes. Then I think we should be able ready to merge the initial WebGL support, and we can keep iterating on it (like we've done with the other backends).
Sure, but everyone who needs their car repaired today so they don’t get fired tomorrow definitely takes the time to survey all of their local payday lenders, then sits down with a calculator and carefully works out how much each one will ultimately cost them before choosing the cheapest one.

My best guess is that is due to HR and mangement wanting to cover their ass when making hiring decisions. If a candidate is hired and they don't do well they can appeal to the authority of the degree the candidate had to make their decision seem rational.

I went straight from high school to a very entry level web development job. I didn't have any chance at getting a job at a larger company but small web shops provided an opportunity for me since I could be hired at a low wage and the owner of the company was the one hiring me.

I can imagine that graduates with the insecurity of student loan debt are more loyal to a secure job. A high school student that has been made productive can easily leave for a (riskier) more lucrative position.
I use ZoL and FreeBSD+ZFS almost on every single system I own, and it's as reliable as a filesystem can be. Btrfs and friends are still miles away from this level of reliability, imho. Heck even git snapshots of ZoL have never failed me, except once where they changed some file structure and I had to migrate a few datasets using unstable features.
