Can you share your designs of your scale?

What I want is a scale that I can put under the cat food or water bowl (or under the cat litter tray), so that I can measure on a minute-by-minute basis how much water was drunk, how much food was eaten, or how much poop or pee was generated, and see those trends over a long period of time.

Cats are really good about hiding weakness and illness, and we've found that frequently one of the best indicators of health issues is a significant change in the intake and output processes.

You could then follow that up with a bigger scale you can put under the food/water bowl area, so that the cat ends up weighing themselves, every time they go to the bowls.

But I want these things recording this data locally, making it available locally, and not sharing it with any facility that is outside of my home.

Single-use plastics is a big problem. It gets solved by chipping away it from a lot of different angles. Plastic straws are one piece of the problem.

My family loves straws and brings steel straws when we go out. No big deal. No one is banning steel straws.

The only hit I get when I search for "ban glasses of water" is this post. Perhaps you referring to bottled water? That's another piece of the single-use plastics problem.

Shifting away animal agriculture is one the top solutions for climate change ( https://www.drawdown.org/solutions-summary-by-rank ). So yes, cows and all their poop and pee are a very real problem. I don't think moving the piss around differently is nearly as a good solution as breeding and killing fewer cows, though!
Yeah, thanks for your feedback! Would you pay for a set up fee if then you can get per bag cost?
To be fair, we had not and have not stipulated what we mean when we say "floppy". Maybe you were a rich kid but a lot of us were still on some pretty low density stuff into the late 80's. Embarrassingly, I was still on cassette for most of the decade.

We do offer coffee but I agree, it's difficult to balance quality with maintainability (low-cost, minimal supplies, easy cleanup etc). We currently just use pre-ground drip coffee but I'm thinking about getting a grinder plus bottomless for the beans. I don't even drink coffee so I find myself checking reddit for reviews on grinders/coffee etc...
Here's the smhasher output for XXH3 on an i9: https://pastebin.com/ryLN24Qy, the wyhash has its output in its readme.

TLDR: XXH3 uses less cycles per key, by about 30%. The real throughput / latency need a more equal and thorough benchmark of both, though.

I was under the impression that the only thing really being recycled was aluminium (and other metals, to some extent).

Typical plastic and paper waste is pretty dirty, due to misunderstanding of what can be recycled - anywhere from just thinking anything vaguely paper or plastic can be recycled to places where people apparently think recycling bins are just different colored trash bins (or just dont care). Contamination of otherwise recyclable materials by food is also an issue. Its also not worth much since the feedstocks for new paper and plastic is pretty cheap.

Glass is also fairly worthless, since it needs to be sorted by color to realistically be recycled. Mixed glass I believe is generally landfilled or "up-cycled" into some sort of crushed aggregate for various purposes.
> You seem very convinced that MCAS is some trivial system when it is very clear physically and legally speaking that that +/- 2.5 degree stabilizer movement at the right time is what the air-worthiness certification is dependent on.

If that is your definition of non-triviality then the ash tray in the toilet is also a non-trivial system since the certification is dependent upon it being there.

MCAS is only there to compensate for one part of the flight envelope where normal operations shouldn't be taking place.

Point being, without that system the aircraft would still fly. In fact Lion air wouldn't have happened without it.

Of course there could be a fault (beyond the nonsense of it not being triple redundant). Or it could be something unrelated to MCAS which is my own pet theory (partly based on the reports of pitch excursions with the autopilot engaged where MCAS is irrelevant).

It might no longer be true for the cows that have been breed for producing lots of milk. I guess most of them might still be able to survive outside during the winter, but I suspect that their milk production will be strongly affected.

It's part of his PR campaign. His political team and the PR firms he hired probably did a lot of research and polling and decided this was a great way to appeal to younger voters.

Politics is all about image and appeal. And it's not just Beto. Every politician from Trump to Beto plays this game. People vote on their image of you rather than who you really are. I think Black Mirror had a great episode on how image and messaging defines a political campaign.

Love the idea. I assume the prediction about when to reorder is more sophisticated than just coffee_weight < X, so how well does it deal with highly variable coffee usage? For example, randomly throughout the week my wife wants coffee as well so I’ll make a double batch...but there’s no rhyme or reason to her coffee cravings.
Careful with the whataboutism. Methane's largely been solved by food additives that discourage methanogenic bacteria. We're talking about urine and ammonia right now.

Methane is more potent as a greenhouse gas, but it's shorter-lived, way less of a contributor to global warming than CO2, and doesn't appear to have anywhere near as much impact on the health or growth of animals or plants as heightened CO2 levels do.
So, even if this was true, the plural of anecdote is not data. His heart disease could have been the result of genetic factors or a number of other factors not related to his diet. There is also no guaranty he was taking his own advice. Dr. Atkins had one heart attack and it was caused by an infection. The thing that killed him was traumatic brain injury as the result of a fall.
I was reading about the best places to be an expat on something like nomadcapitalist.com and Estonia kept coming up due to the ease of immigrating + starting a business there. And I've just done personal research from there. For example https://ccdcoe.org/ is also based there which is a huge draw for software talent.

Other cities I've been considering - Lisbon, Riga, , Bucharest, Berlin, Prague, Dublin. Mostly was just looking for cheap places with developers that are in the EU and not too hard to immigrate to. Prague in particular seems like a pretty big nexus for EU developers and it's pretty inexpensive. There's undoubtedly many other cities that fit well in this category, I just haven't heard of them. But Tallinn punches above its weight in terms of software presence and it's basically the easiest to immigrate to so I focused on that pretty early on in terms of good places to found an EU-based company.
Hi, yes, we have thought about doing so. What company do you buy it from?

"$3 to $75"

Can I just clarify that's not a typo? If you really don't want to offer the service that much, then don't? A $75 debit card (in)convenience fee just comes across as money grabbing, and harms their reputation.
I don't think that's the correct use of prop.test for this question. When you give it two numbers (success, total), it tests against the null that chance of success is 50%.

Here, we want to test whether p(success|cond) differs across conditions, not whether prob(cond|success) is 50%.

This distinction is important because when p(success|cond) for some cond is low, its variance is also very small, but prop.test(39,67) doesn't reflect this. That could be 67 successes out of a small sample (and high chance of success), or out of a huge sample (and low chance of success).

Well, it's not all just desert; that's more in the south. In the middle it's mostly farmland (in fact, rather excellent farmland, thanks to the combination of good soil, plenty of sunshine, temperate weather, and - the recent droughts notwithstanding - decent water availability; there's a reason why California is the primary source of quite a few fruits and vegetables for the world, let alone the US), and in the north it's mostly forest.
Yes, the goals are similar. I will add a detailed comparison to https://vlang.io/compare

I looked into Herman Miller chairs on Amazon.ca last year. The Amazon seller "Madison Seating" was some group selling refurbished HM chairs out of a warehouse, offering no warranty but selling at new prices.

My great grandma used to have cows on her we-do-everything farm. I’m told they prefered staying in the barn when it was -10celsius and covered in half a meter of snow outside. The barn was nice and warm.

They’d also come home from pastures at night. That’s where the tastier nutrient dense food was.
A GC in a systems programming language is there as a productivity and safety mechanism, by no means as the only way of doing 100% of memory allocations.

A vocal sub-community of D programmers argue for @nogc due to GC phobia, as ex-C++ devs, and a GC implementation found lacking. A situation that might improve with the recently released GC pluggable API and a new precise tracing GC.

Many devs that prototype their apps in D without doing premature memory optimizations, end up realizing that for their use case it actually good enough.

Screens definitely differ and colour profiles do differ.

So - there is nary such a thing as 'neutral' - in 2019!

Meaning, a little 'screen red' may make your blue-tone interface look 'off'.

Ergo, tweak your greys a little to match the design.

I'm not a Jobs fan, but only someone like him, i.e. who 'cares' about the experience at that level, and who has the tremendous power to influence / fix this might be able to make a difference.

Bluetooth is an utter mess in the real world, as are colour profiles. There are 'big apps' like Sketch with some awful situations, and the other one's are almost as bad, and there's no way out.

We need a 'user Stalin' to set a simple, clear and unambiguous standard for this that kind of forces and industry outcome. I mean - we're shooting for 'General AI' but we can't even make grey screens ...

I'm not interested in "incentives". The purpose of law is justice, not social engineering. When lawmakers play at social engineering they make the law unjust.

If concealing information about public figures results in "social harm" then that "social harm" is exactly the same regardless of whether the information is concealed for the sake of profit. When someone has been harmed by another person's actions the offender has a duty to make the victim(s) whole. The offender's motive for causing the harm is irrelevant.

(I'm glossing over the distinction between "social harm" and the actual harm which would be necessary to justify responding with force, but that's a topic for another day.)

Here's basically the entire article: they will "no longer offer single-use plastic bags to customers, replace the plastic produce bags and Styrofoam packages with compostable alternatives, and avoid using compounds like BPA in packaging".

Trader Joes has always been semi-unique as a grocery store in that a reasonably high percentage of their produce comes as a multipack on a paper/stryofoam tray wrapped in plastic. It always struck me as wasteful as well.

Most statements in this piece are highly debatable or blown out of proportions. Poland gets a lot of bad press under the new government (which sucks IMO, but on the grounds of their mundane incompetence and stupidity - high even for modern democracies - and not because they’re some evil authoritarians) in part because Polish media is mostly controlled by anti-government journalists, who put very heavy spin on reality. And these are the people who the foreign journalists (Spiegel, NYT, Guardian etc) talk to about situation in Poland. IMO, we’re ruled by cynical simpletons, but probably no greater than Trump, Berlusconi, Cameron etc.

This question gets asked for every company. The way it works is that Amazon and Instacart. may copy. But walmart and target will be slow to respond. At some point, Amazon will be ahead in the game and Walmart is in a hurry to bring something similar to buy. Then they will acquire Bottomless

Another way, even if Amazon introduces it, they have to make $x billion from it to be viable. If Bottomless makes $100M per year from this funtionality, they are a good business. Meanwhile they can also rake up a few patents thus making forcing Amazon to pay some fees
I'd never been to one until a couple years ago, when my girlfriend swore by it and took me there. I've been hooked since. It feels like stepping into a time machine, to when "fast food" wasn't a chemical amalgamation that a soulless corporation was trying to pass off as food. Waffle House has cheap but honest food, and is staffed by people who don't appear to be miserable and don't have to hide in the back with the microwaves. It lacks the cynicism of its peers.
Can you explain the connection you're trying to draw between Pony, a language used in production, and this one? I don't want your comment to be misinterpreted.
Congrats to the whole PagerDuty team!

We were in the same YC batch (S'10), and the founders were all kind, smart people. They were also determined and hard-working: I believe they'd been rejected by YC three times before getting in.
Pony's memory sharing model used with Actors is really interesting. When I was writing in Elixir the overhead of deep cloning any message (or almost any - I realize large binaries are an exception) between actors seemed like a big limitation. I think Pony offers an interesting solution

I remember coming across some big systematic gotcha with Pony when I was learning though. It's been a year or two since I've even thought about it though and my brain is foggy. I think it'll take more adoption of both Erlang/Elixir and Rust for people to really see the benefits of what Pony offers. It's a really ambitious language for sure
No, I'm saying that what Apple is doing to Spotify is exactly what Spotify is doing to their artists, and it's business as usual for both. It may be immoral but I don't see it as illegal (a court may very well see it differently). After putting Spotify's "call for justice" in context it lost all credibility in my eyes. It's like a robber complaining they've been robbed.

And it's not a kneejerk reaction. I plan on using both Apple and Spotify in the future. But anything Spotify want to get they should also give. Doe it look like they are to you?
Calories on food packaging have for decades been a calculation of absorbable nutrients. Your log would have a very low calorie count if it lay in stores.
Depends on whether you want the language to be used.
I only skimmed the article but it doesn't really advocate an alternative. It highlights that the person they were following "eat real food, not food ‘products’" and that weight watchers uses points instead of calories. So it doesn't seem like there is a nice actionable item that someone could take away from the article and apply to their own life.
This kind of idea is why I'm not going to let my kids major in computer science (at least not just CS). The brains behind this startup could be doing something at least superficially useful, but apparently all they know are the technical 'solutions', and know nothing about real-world problems.
I actually saw an interesting solution to this. I don't remember what company it was, but they had a designated "water cooler time" where they had a video chat up every day that anyone could pop into and talk about whatever they want, business or not. It gave people a chance to have those serendipitous conversations and built team morale.
I'll answer some of your questions:

1. You asked about "adding a packet of coffee powder". If you're asking about coffee "powder" (i.e. either preground or instant), then you are not the target market. For coffee aficionados, there is a very short window of peak freshness, about 1-2 weeks post roast. This model works great for these coffee folks who care about this freshness. Note supermarket coffee is usually hopelessly stale by the time it is sold.
2. While the physical dash buttons may have been discontinued, the virtual ones (through your phone, the web, Alexa, etc.) are still heavily in use. My guess if they discontinued them is that they figured they can get just as much play from the virtual ones, especially through all the "smart home" devices they are pushing.
From the ICC's standpoint, a simple counter to this would be to have member countries deny entry to any US citizen on the ICC's "needs investigation" list. That includes heads-of-state and their representatives.

Not that I'm advocating for that, but it seems like a solution that would be pretty simple to implement.
Yes but Estonia has https://ccdcoe.org/ as well as numerous IT companies and startups already (most famously, Skype, now a Microsoft office). Plus I don't think you would have any issues having an English-speaking software development office.

Honestly Poland's far-right is a big turn off for me and if I were an ethnically Indian/Pakistani/Turkish software engineer I wouldn't want to live there. It also just doesn't seem like as nice of a place to live. Admittedly, I haven't done much research in terms of what I would need to do as a non-EU resident to get temporary residence there though. I would love for my notions to be proven wrong.
Yes! Refinement is the key.

Losing weight by counting kcal is a skill which requires practise and consciousness. I need to get to know what kinds of food work for me; how I handle certain situations like sickness or times with travel (anything off routine, really).

After quite a long time of doing it, I believe the reason it works for me personally, is that the accountability towards the calorie-app keeps me off chocolate (big candy-bowl at work which I pass multiple times a day).

My problem is: As soon as I stop counting, the accountability towards the counting-app is lost, and the junk-food is back on the plate. After several months I'm back to ~95 kg and it's on to counting again (usually triggered by too-tight pants).
Thanks for the questions.

1. I always forget to get one or two things when I go to the store. This removes having to remember coffee stock levels. Also, the coffee in the store isn't fresh because the distribution chain is too long. We ship straight from roaster to customer, so the coffee is really fresh.

2. Dash doesn't work because it's a new habit and people have to remember to find and press the button before running out. We're a Dash button that automatically presses itself and is fully passive.

3. For toilet paper and diapers it may not be a scale but some other sort of passive monitoring system. We definitely plan to address these eventually.
