No! China was not buying them.

See this:

1) My company has waste, it collected from many homes at a cost of 2000 dollars.

2) We the company, pays 1000 dollars for your company to take this trash. Its around 500 dollars to deliver to your place (china) and 500 dollars for your company

3) The company in china uses some land anywhere to dump it at "zero" cost

in the end with the $2000 total budget, my company makes 1000, we ship it and another company that makes 500 and use 500 to deliver to some place that will dump anywhere.

Slightly off topic, but I've had a print subscription to The New Yorker for many years and I always read the Shouts & Murmurs satire pieces and the absolute most riotously funny one I've read is "Sunday Routine" by Jen Spyra:

This is great, I paid for a lifetime membership to brain.fm but the app is still broken on iOS. If these can play for longer then 25 minutes (where brain.fm dies on mobile for me) then I’ve found my go-to.
Is this currently working on mobile? I’m not getting audio but seeing indications that it is playing, so maybe it’s just not accounted for.

OpenBSD is great for a VPS, especially a small one. The minimal install has an incredibly short list of packages, which I like & feel helps keep everything working even over many years of following updates. It's just so much simpler than most Linux distros. But, familiarity or lack thereof can be very important- it's amazing how much is different about BSD, when we are used to thinking of it as a close cousin to Linux.
not that impressive
Not my original wording, but it definitely includes roadblocks that prevent developers from progressing after a point.

Examples:

Type erasure means the standard library doesn’t quite use generics right, so you end up sprinkling unchecked casts all over the place.

It is nearly impossible to handle resource lifetimes correctly, even with autoclosables.

No unsigned types, so many advanced algorithms are neigh-impossible to express, let alone rediscover.

Encapsulation for primitive types comes with a high runtime overhead (cache misses, gc pressure)

Package-private doesn’t quite do what you want for large projects, where you want to split API implementations into multiple packages.
> Like with any medical test: if you do more tests you will find more incidence.

I've heard this line parroted a lot but a robust Bayesian analysis should mitigate this.

Like by setting appropriate thresholds you should be able to either

* do the same amount of interventions with more of them being helpful

* maintain the rate of helpfulness but doing more procedurees.

or even a mix of the two. Testing all the things all the time on all the people would be a boon if we just did it correctly.

I feel quite confident that the best poets, illustrators, and architects will not be an AI until AI achieves general intelligence and robustly passes the turing test. Those tasks require enormous, deep synthesis, and thus require general intelligence to actually out perform the best humans.

Personally I've been on Ubuntu for over a decade. But the Telecom industry that I work in is entirely dependent on RHEL and SLES. A few large players (Like my employer) maintain their own distros based on CentOS but I am yet to see anyone use Ubuntu. From what I've heard, it's the same with the Enterprisey industries. So, I'm not sure if considering Canonical a direct competetior to Red Hat is accurate.

A prepaid card isn't "self-hosted". They're just front end for a bank account that can be closed or restricted by external forces.

The right people in law enforcement could probably make a few calls and shut down an arbitrary prepaid card (or group of them). There's also a strong paper trail that can be used for that-- they could reasonably say "any card that was used at this suspicious merchant should be shut down".

They can't demonetize a few random $100 notes with anywhere near the same degree of ease or specificity. Nor does the logging infrastructure exist to find every note which touched a suspicious individual.

Yeah, the first thing I thought of when seeing this was video game BGM. Ideally you would want some way to smoothly change the parameters over time as the player moves from one zone to the next, although you could probably cheat it pretty well just by having a separate track for each zone and cross-fading between them.

It could work as a sort of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies are functionally equivalent to "stored value" and yet they remain secure.

Plus, since we're talking about a government-issued currency, a lot of the drawbacks of a typical cryptocurrency wouldn't apply (the government can be considered the central source of trust, so no need for a proof of work system or anything).
The idea is old, but I didn't think people were referring to it by name before. Searching for "commoditize your complement" I get first recent results discussing the essay I linked, though digging deeper there are quite a few linking to the Spolsky post as well.

Just *

"a" * "b" == "ab"

"a" ^ 3 == "aaa"

Though the dot version is actually almost possible because of a special syntax in Julia called broadcasting, which applies any function element-wise.

"a" .* ["a", "b", "c"] == ["aa", "ab", "ac"]

["a", "b", "c"] .* "a" == ["aa", "ba", "ca"]

("a" * ["a", "b", "c"] would raise an error)

This is pretty neat! I think we are so predisposed to assume that grasping and lifting things should look a certain way based on our own anatomy.

The big questions that come to mind are resilience or I guess you could call it MTBF, and also hygiene.

A human hand knows when a thing it picks up has gotten it dirty and can change a glove or go wash. This design in particular looks like it would hang on to particles from things it’s picked up (thinking like bits of broccoli, but also on the microscopic level) and be very difficult to clean with all that surface area.

I think for picking groceries you would almost have to dedicate one arm for each SKU placing items into bags that were ferried by, you could not have one arm with a bag moving between SKUs and filling that bag.

I fully expect to see lights out grocery stores in the near future, I’m a bit surprised no one has tried it yet. Maybe the last mile delivery still dominates the cost too much.

How would that work, and what's the incentive for it?

I can read color hex codes just fine. In fact, while writing my CSS, I often have a shade of color in mine and I just go ahead and type out its hex code by guesswork and then fine tune it by changing the R, G, and B values. I am not colorblind. I never thought this is a special skill! It's just basic understanding of hexadecimal, the RGB color model, and additive color mixing.

The nice thing this video helps me with is to give a name to every RGB color code. This is something I had always found difficult even though I knew what each RGB color code would look like. Giving a name to every RGB code makes it easy to communicate colors to others.
I have a hunch as to why this table isn't anything like the periodic table of elements.

For those that don't know, a long time ago Josh Duck built an HTML Periodic Table that actually resembled the periodic table. It got taken down, because someone else made another HTML Periodic Table (with clearly different organization and a very different look), and then she claimed that Josh Duck's very different periodic table was infringing on her copyright. She even went as far as to claim that he somehow even intercepted her emails to steal her ideas, and even alleged that Josh Duck and another guy who made a similar HTML Periodic Table were in kahoots because they were in the same country (Source: https://i.imgur.com/sthuEd8.png)! Pictures of the periodic table and a detailed story here: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150417/08423730696/desig...

By making this table look nothing like the periodic table of elements (or like the ones that people were sued over), I think the creator should be able to avoid being sued by anyone trying to make a quick buck.

>banning any mention of other ways to purchase the same product.

What's the problem with this?
They're the standard forms of doing dict merge in python, and generally the first answer whenever someone asks (both overwrite with right dict key/value on collision, concatenate keys otherwise).

{ * * d1, * * d2} -- unpack the two dicts and feed them both as input to dict comprehension to construct a new dict.

d1.update(d2) does the same merge strategy, but modifying d1 in-place.

Sure, there's five different ways to go about handling collisions, but there's already a well-defined, commonly used methodology, so it's fair to implement syntax sugar for it. It's also not too difficult to understand, and easy to look up (particularly compared to {* * d1,* * d2}).

And I'm not actually aware of any other merge strategy being included in the python stdlib, which implies that this strategy being the best useful default, has been decided long before this operator came into question.

> nd the appropriate response to this horrible video is to not watch.

Watch it. It represents the horrible truth of the elevated sense of Islamophobia and its tragic consequences. People shouldn't look away from this. Many of us have to deal with this on a daily basis. When it gets so out of control that it creeps up into the privileged world people want to look away. Don't forget that today's global structure is based on widespread massacres and genocide. This extreme comes from overlooking a racist, bigoted status quo much like an infestation comes from overlooking the first signs of insects. We may be looking away from your history too. Looking away is not going to change things. I don't care if it makes us feel bad. Its the truth. We need to deal with it because others have to.

Basically most of us sit there and tolerate minor (and sometimes major) forms of racism and do nothing only to act shocked when something like this happens. Its a psychological game played to avoid guilt and responsibility.

The very premise of the piece is shaky.

"But the 1960s ushered in a new era of mass entertainment. The expansion of film, TV broadcasting, and especially TV advertising toppled the orchestra’s place in popular culture..."

Three points: Pop music has come to demand high royalties. Most classical music is in the public domain. Use a recording by a small orchestra, and ... cheap. Like RKO.

Next: 'the orchestra's place' was not very high in American popular culture -at any- time since the LP was introduced. There were many people who tried to make it that way (the inventor of FM for one) but no. Leonard Bernstein tried, but no. Author's misreading history here.

Finally: Films as a whole, sorry to say, have gotten A LOT darker in the past 50 years. Still, I can go through any number of movies made in the decades since Space Odyssey and find uses of classical that wasn't associated with darkness. Just one example: Elmer Bernstein, very successful in the film-score business, borrowed heavily from classical for his music, and wasn't associated with 'heavy' films in my recollection.

Listening to and appreciating classical music (as it is, not for any social status it may pretend to confer) takes time. Like any advanced art, much of art music is inscrutable to the casual listener. That may further the disorientation of the dark-film fans.
The income threshold to no longer qualify for premium subsidies through the ACA is ~$48.5k/year for an individual, pre-tax.
