>The fact that WBC finalists are using coffee that the roaster haven't sorted based in size tells a lot. Perhaps the farmer does it to some degree.

I'm not sure if you've looked at espresso chemical papers (mostly the Illy ones), but they're pretty cool and they might explain this.

The oil extraction curves are non-linear. Lighter roasts that aren't at risk of burning smaller beans can be paired with variable bean size to produce a spectrum of related flavour notes, providing a bit of depth to a varietal that has a very strong and pronounced (but limited) set of notes.
Yea, I've been through some different phases in my life and taken a drug through most of it at the same dosage, there was a year when I had a crazy pricing experience. At the beginning of the year I was covered by Green Mountain Care in VT (the state medicare for all program) and paid 0$ for a 30 day refill of my medication, then I had a lapse in coverage due to employment insurance not kicking in right and ended up paying 264$ for my 30 day supply and when my insurance kicked in I had the Cigna preferred rate of 186$ for 30 days (I had no coverage for that drug, but I did have general pharma coverage). Mid-way through the year we switched insurers and I ended up paying 28$ for a 30 day supply for a few years and then in Nov or Oct a generic came on the market and I dropped down to 3$ of a 30 day supply.

This story is personal and doesn't involve any drugs Shkreli was directly involved with but I'm putting it out there to demonstrate the sort of BS pricing all throughout the pharma market, there are I'm sure some people with bad or no coverage but living just above the Medicaid line that had to pay full out-of-pocket price for Daraprim after the price hike from 13.50/pill to 750/pill, this problem really does hit people.

I agree that there are multiple solutions and issues here, the fact that the government allows market control via eternally extended patents (oh my, read about the history of insulin and how the Canadian inventors released it for free for ethical reasons and now a few companies have a stranglehold on the market) definitely contributes a lot to this situation, but even when looking at medical procedure billing you can easily find crazy market disparities in costs between hospitals down the street from one another - and medical procedures are (mostly) out of the government's hands, that's just unethical companies pumping up the prices on inelastic goods because they can.

Your question doesn't really apply to this last bit but I thought I'd add... Shkreli himself is not just a scapegoat, he was a bad actor and deserves what he's getting, unfortunately it is quite fair to point out that people who have acted equally unethically have felt no problems for their actions because, unfortunately, currently those unethical actions are not illegal in our society - as the Shkreli case and the vitriol around it demonstrates, we, the society, feel like this is an unethical state. There are arguments to be had about the tyranny of the majority and the unfair partial application of the law but... that's all just wool gathering to avoid the truth.

>The migrant caravans are obviously intending to violate US law by entering the country illegally.

It's not obvious at all. Presenting oneself at a port of entry is the legal way to seek asylum. What's your evidence that they planned to enter illegally? How is that even possible when there is so much attention on them?
It pretty much is. That's what customers pay for: how many bytes they can get per unit time. How much the ISP needs to spend on infrastructure is exactly proportional to the total bandwidth customers in an area are using at peak. More usage means they need to install more switches. What label is on the return address of the traffic makes no difference to the expense on the ISP.
> "Running a business", in potential violation of the prison inmate handbook. I'm unclear if there are any legal teeth behind said handbook, or what.

The handbook per se is just an informational guide, but it summarizes applicable law and BOP policy (which has force of law within BOP’s statutory role of regulating federal prisons.)

The relevant policy is the “Inmate Discipline Program” [0], under which possessing a mobile communication device is a “Greatest” severity offense (the same as killing or escape), using a phone (even a prison phone) in a manner which circumvents required BOP monitoring is a “High” severity offense, running a business is a “Moderate” severity offense.

Your trust is misplaced; a developer who drops $$$ on a certificate could be a dyed-in-the-wool criminal. Just because code is signed and certified doesn't mean it doesn't do anything bad.

Signing and certificates revolve around trust/mistrust in the delivery channel not in the purveyor.

That problem can be solved with other tools, like PGP. You don't have to be blackmailed by a platform's certificate racket.

MTM has nothing to do with insurance.

outcomesMTM is not insurance software, it's pharmacy patient management software.

That you need to substantiate with more than just "go talk to pharmacists", particularly in light of the above.

> Again try asking any practicing family physician, ask them how many faxes they get a day from pharmacies requesting they change the patient Rx.

I've had my pharmacy request changes on my behalf, if it was something simple (like getting the wrong dosage), and they have done so as a convenience, not because they were required to. I have never had them request a change without my consent or knowledge, and I would stop using such a pharmacy if it ever happened.

You have also completely ignored what I said about prescription changes not being necessary for generic substitution.

> AESE + AESMC is seen as a singular 8-byte instruction from the decoder. The two instructions are decoded as one operation to maximize the throughput of AES. Yeah, web browsers + web server workloads demand an incredibly fast AES, to the point that ARM is willing to complicate the decoder just to make this one operation faster.

But that's an implementation decision and not inherent to the ISA itself: AESE and AESMC can be implemented as individual instructions without fusing them.

The fact that RISC-V advocates fusing certain pure RISC opcode patterns for improved performance doesn't make it any more CISC either.

> AESE and AESMC operate on NEON registers. They coincide with the NEON Pipeline and NEON Registers. They're not "outside" the core by any stretch of the imagination.

The key part here is "NEON Pipeline and NEON Register". If you can make the split between the traditional pipeline and the additional pipelines, the complexity penalty is contained.

The issue with x86 CISCness has always been with having to deal with byte-aligned variable width instructions.
Well, there are two things happening, and if you want sources, I can hunt them down later.

1) Wealth inequality is bad for social stability. People in general care less about how much they have as compared to how much they have compared to everyone else. When you are dirt poor but so is your neighbor, you care less. The Internet has magnified this effect as now it's very easy to see when you are dirt poor that lots and lots of other people are not. And they are not great people a lot of the time. So, populations are generally happier when things are more equal.

2) Money can generally translate to power in our world and so it creates absurdly uneven power distributions. The US for instance suffers from politicians generally listening to money over the people that they serve, and those people generally are listening to whatever the people with money are putting in front of them, etc etc. Laws are meaningless if you can afford the fine. This is also bad for society.

3) Generally, accumulating tremendous wealth is done on the backs of people and not on bringing them up as well. There are exceptions of course, but usually tremendous wealth creation at the individual level is not done through a series of actions with an equal social benefit.

As to your other question, what should it look like? This of course is up to debate, but historically, when it starts to look as it does, people begin to get angry and violent. Which is bad for a stable society.
I agree with you. I'm here because this is where my wife is from. She's a Houston native and wants to be near her parents. Mine are dead and she and our children are my family, so it works for me.

Socially, Texas is a backwater. The culture here is fairly homogeneous. The cities are a little better, but not by much. Austin is touted as a more progressive city, but really it's not. I've attended a number of tech conferences there, done work in the area, and it's largely the same as Houston. Keep Austin Weird is their mantra, but what it really amounts to is we will not arrest the homeless, illegals, and occasional dope smokers. Every other aspect is the same. Austin lives and dies because of UT, 6th Street, and the live music scene. That's it.

Were I to suddenly come into money, I could see myself buying a plot of land and building a house in Vermont near a lake.
A lot of formerly YIMBY people become very NIMBY as soon as they own property. I've seen that with a number of people succeeding in the startup game, for example. I don't think the lines are as clear as you make them to be.

>* Houston beats California hands down in terms of quality of life (with the exception of the heat)...*

I lived in Houston, (Museum District/Third Ward/Whatever you want to call it), for a good long time. (Three or four hurricanes.) I actually loved it. That said, I would not say, at all, that it beats the valley for QoL. Setting that expectation up in peoples' minds just leads to disappointment. And it's the genesis of a lot of the bad stories we hear about peoples' experiences in Texas on a daily basis.

If you have realistic expectations, and subscribe to the "When in Rome..." philosophy, you will find a lot of fun things and fun people in Houston. You will have a really good time. If you come with the expectation and demand of a great QoL, a QoL that rivals San Fran, or Boston, or Chicago, etc, you're likely to be disagreeably surprised.

We need to start measuring cities on their own merits. Measuring cities against the bar set by what are really becoming early stage city-states is a little unfair. Houston is great. Omaha is AWESOME. Minneapolis is a blast. Don't even get me started on how awesome places like Charlotte or Madison can be.

But you have to be open to what's there, and not go there looking for everything you had in San Fran. You do that in Houston, and you'll just be disappointed, and then the yearly floods will come, and you'll be pissed off on top of being disappointed. But if you look out your window after the storm, you'll probably see everyone on your block out grilling! (May as well get rid of any meat in your fridge by grilling it, because you don't know when the power will come back on!) I mean, it really can be a blast! Seriously, Just do without the wifi for a few days. (Or weeks if it was a hurricane.) You'll be happy you did.
Fair enough. Good luck to you. =)

May seem silly, but I forgo all the default folders (except Downloads sometimes) and use the Desktop. On my Desktop, I have one folder: All

Inside that is everything, and the desktop then has shortcuts into that and a single "To Be Sorted" folder that I throw things in when I'm lazy (and clean up weekly).

My All folder top level:

1-Life (taxes, banking, retirement planning)

2-Philosophy (notes, papers, readings)

3-College

4-Code

5-Professional

Z-Unused

The numbers keep it ordered by use/importance and I usually review and change the top level yearly.

If historical patterns have anything to show us, it's that the migrant caravans intend to show up at the US border and apply for asylum in the legally proscribed process. It's only because certain factions in the US government have, through defunding and Kafkaesque regulation, made it virtually impossible to apply for asylum without already being in the US that people already at the border find themselves desperately seeking to cross into the US illegally.

I’m not an expert at all, but I think I know how to answer your question in the somewhat mathy terms you’ve framed your it in. I think the main argument is to get rid of a bi- (or multi-) modal distribution and move to a unimodal normal distribution that’s taller and narrower. That way you wouldn’t have a few people with tons of money while most people have no money. You’d instead of a lot of people who mostly have comparable spending power.
How to interview your interviewers when you’re looking for a job
There are also reasons why people would rather not work for Big Tech / unicorns. Money isn't everything to everyone, and hopping between these companies every few years loses its appeal for those who actually want to settle down and have families. You can work outside of Silicon Valley and make a salary that puts you in the top 10% of earners. If being smack dab in the middle of "the biz" works out for you, then that's great, but it also can be a carrot on the end of a stick for those who aren't cut out for that lifestyle in the first place.
Sure, this what I call a one-bit argument, where we choose sides and argue about how to set a bit.

But this is a habit that's very hard to shake, since it's a fundamental part of how language works. Is an adjective appropriate or not?

I think there are occasionally binary choices that aren't just an artifact of language, though. :)

1. We use a couple of tricks for this, there's ideas from human preferences. There's modeling a reward function to maximize fun instead of pure performance, there's handicaps and a host of other tricks. Different tricks work better for different games but game developers can easily configure them

2. It can, imitation learning turns RL into a supervised learning problem though from my experience it's not really needed. It's more of a if you already have it then you can make the training a bit faster

3. Yes all the RL part becomes tuning a config file where the game developer needs to describe the task it wants to be accomplished

Regarding technical details, the infra is agnostic to the specific deep learning library you'd like to use and the algorithms are chosen based on the types of inputs (continuous vs discrete), size of the space (the end all of strategy games or a casual puzzle game) and type of game (full information vs partial information).
This clears it up. Still, how do you plan to find and reach your target audience? Most of the people who I know use WordPress aren’t too technical and like the premade plugins and themes.

Dark roast is a little like well-done steak; you're mostly tasting the effects of the heat, not the quality of the ingredient. Good beans will make good dark-roast, but okay beans will probably taste pretty similar. The lighter roasts let the differences shine.

Thus, trendy 3rd wave coffee is almost universally light to medium roast. So oils might get a bad association this way, but that's not really fair. It's just a dark roast. It's the age and original quality that really matters.

I worked at Starbucks for a few years and was always grossed out by the idea of "Instant Coffee", (dumping grounds in hot water).

But after doing a week long hiking trip I got pretty addicted to the simplicity and punch of the instant coffee method.

I even premix my Carnation instant coffee with a little cocoa powder and some sugar, so I can just do 1 spoon and I have an instant fun drink that tastes a little fancy.

People seem to focus a lot on the small things.

Can I make $300k/year a few years out of college in Texas? If I want to switch companies, can I easily find another similar position near by? Can I golf and ski and hike in the same weekend (really just making an argument for the weather here)?

Those are the questions that matter to me the most. I'm looking to put as much money into my savings as I can per year.

1) Cost of food/other living expenses is a very small percentage.

2) $1500 rent (sharing with gf) = $18k a year, also a small percentage if I ended up paying, what, half in Texas? a third?

3) Sure, I can't buy property here, but I'm fine with that for now.

4) My commute is 20 minutes right now.

* This is all with tech salaries. Obviously with lower salaries, smaller things become larger percentages.
I'm still making the poor choice. I had kids, started raising them in a small town and missed the boat on going out west or wherever to follow they money. About $60k is average software developer pay around here.

I finally break 6 figures and my kids are almost graduated into college. If I left them behind after the divorce I could literally blank check pay for their college.

But I'm deciding to be their dad instead of chasing the money. But 3 more yesterday the last one graduates and I'm ready to go do machine learning and all the fun stuff. So. Sick. Of. Web sites.

I would recommend you let your family be. There earlier stuff in your career was health problems you said and people come first. The houses you talk about now are like gifts. They don't have immediate need so you can get them something better in the future.
