> But since they also get the 30% cut back.

That's not how that works. If you charge $50/hr as a freelance software developer and you work on your own stuff for a day you didn't "get $400 back", you paid $400 in opportunity cost.
So instead of interpreting his intentions using a straightforward plausible explanation supported by his manifesto, you suggest that it is better to interpret his motivations using an unfounded conspiracy theory?

I think the exteriors are driven by aerodynamic requirements to maximize their range. So they all basically take the most aerodynamic shape possible which makes them look the same.
You've ridden in a taxi lately too huh? Gas was $1.99/gallon and the cab adds a $2 "fuel surcharge" for a 10 minute ride.

I think you are misunderstanding... They got dumps of a couple of databases, which they encrypted, downloaded, and presumably decrypted. Those dumps themselves contained a credit card number that was encrypted by Marriott with a key they don't think the attackers got.

That is my read of it anyway.
Sounds cool! We've thought about this concept a lot. We always assumed that the fridge would be too messy for this to actually work. I'd be interested in hearing about your approach.
Modern 8ch has been overrun by /pol/, they've been a consistent problem that's only gotten worse. 8ch already isn't a free speech site, /pol/ will ban you for even questioning their rhetoric. Sure you can create a new board, but almost no one ever browses those except to stash CP when they eventually get abandoned.

Removing /pol/ would certainly remove /pol/ users, they would need to find another place and it takes time for these sorts of communities to regroup.
The Origins of Asperger's
Maybe I will! I actually toured a treatment plant in LA when I was in elementary school, but I could probably ask better questions now. :)
But also terse. I like that
The biggest stockout problems in my life are those where an inconvenience turns into a big mess. If you can expand your thinking to that problem, I'm very interested.

Specifically:

Toilet Paper

Diapers

Diaper Wipes

Paper Towels

Cat Litter

Laundry Detergent

Sanitary Napkins / Tampons

Auto-coffee refill is something I can avoid. Diaper stockout -- the horror!
Having done this as consultant more than enough times here is my advice:
1. Transparency : Be transparent to your boss and the team that depended on you.
2. Prioritize “can’t live withouts”: what I mean by this is are you holding something in your brain or your system folder somewhere that your team absolutely needs to function ?
3. Ask / talk / meet: meet with your team members 1:1 or or group ask them how can you help them fill the gaps and what do they need from you.
4. Don’t burn bridges. After all they had your back all along.
Good luck
Yeah, Rust seems to have an ergonomics problem and the only response we are seeing is "you're holding it wrong".

I would rather work on interesting projects than use interesting tools for not-so-interesting projects.
So far, for things I am interested in, C++ seems to be the tool of choice.
> The only sensor in the scale is a weight sensor.

? Why not add a RFID reader (relatively cheap) to the scale and then add tags on the coffee bags to be able to log the consumption for multiple types?

You could even be able to identify the weight of multiple objects (tracking what's on the scale and how the weight changes when it's removed and when it's put back) on a bigger(longer?) scale.

And you could sell kits with tags that people could slap on their own containers and register multiple custom items.

I agree, "autonomous dash button" is a nice way to present it, but if it was capable of detecting what's on it, it would become more or less a "sentient dash button", way better ;)
Every country should be hostile to foreign accountability. They are sovereign nations and only accountable to their own citizens.

Do you really want powerful authoritarian countries to take over international organizations and hold democracies "accountable".

Hell no.
This is a standard defense tactic, sometimes called "What-about-isms" and is a Trump favourite, as it happens.

There are some topics for some people where they'll dig in and won't see reason whatsoever. China (for Chinese nationals) is a common one when you can bring up any number of subjects, the "re-educations camps" being just one.

But, but, but... what about US internment of Japanese descendants in WW2? Or the genocide of Native Americans? Or slavery?

That's how it goes. Sadly.
Are you looking at the same link that you posted? Most of those comments are supportive of Fox News.

That is possibly the laziest link posting I've ever seen.
Undeveloped land is not produced, but it is scarce and has value that can be degraded. Hence, a tax on it is not punishing the productive, but guarding against waste.
I don't buy it. Heck, I've even stepped on the gas instead of the brake. Besides, the brakes are much more effective than that little Toyota engine is. Try it yourself. Go full throttle and step hard on the brake. You'll stop.
I love our society. Always chasing after solutions to things that aren’t really problems. Ban straws. Ban glasses of water. Ban cow pee. Forget that none of those things here make any material difference.
Paper towels aren't any better than "flushable" wipes.
we deprive children of their liberties for 12+ years and put them in a box where they are taught explicitly and implicitly that all that matters is appealing to authority, so why is it any surprise to see them so drawn towards authoritarianism? for that matter, why would they care about freedom of speech at all when they never get to use it? it might as well be as foreign to them as the polar bear.
3 terms in the House and some local council work is not “lots of political experience”, at least by the standards of historical Presidents.

Whether the software/services for he founded in 1998 and ran until...sometime before March 2017 is lots of executive experience is debatable, but it's certainly not particularly large scale executive experience for a Presidential candidate.
I would love to start a business in Miami but the COL seems pretty high. I feel like it's probably the best place in the world to start a latin america-focused tech company (social networking, streaming, fintech, etc.) and it seems like a great place to live. Does anybody happen to know what kind of companies the VC's there are focused on - could see pure tech plays being outside of their core competencies and thus unlikely to get funded.
But why this doesn't needed if you use numerical ids?

The request was for candidates with “lots of political and executive experience”, not merely some political experience.
your hypothetical bet missed; AWS happened today.
if you read something in the newspaper and it makes you angry and/or sparks an extreme reaction, should that newspaper be banned? or a TV network, or any other news source?

Too many non-lawyers on this board think that saying "slippery slope" makes two things on the opposite ends of the spectrum one and the same, and that's not true at all. The law is perfectly capable of handling degees of difference. After all, there are no less than 5 degrees of homicide (more, depending on jurisdiction).

It's quite possible to ban a newspaper that says "Kill all the X this weekend" without it having any bearing on a newspaper that opines "X people should die." If you can't see the difference between the two, then I won't bother responding further.
Real, and not really. It's a side effect of generating sales.
I got sick of reading but he wrote something like "Trump is a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose.". Candace Owens is pretty Trump positive in most ways I can tell as well, her being black has nothing to do with this matter, she's not a Muslim as far as I know. When he writes he supports China, that seems to be much more about totalitarian states and their mass incarceration of Muslims and like a child, he aspires to be in a totalitarian state where it does what he wants so the state does not have to compromise on anything, even to a majority of the people.
First SV used unethical data mining and ad targeting techniques to earn millions of dollars and now they are spending those dollars unethically to get an advantage for their kids. This is definitely a behavioral pattern at this point.
Thank you! We're always wondering what the biggest restocking problems are for people.

Your list are all products we're planning to address eventually. The real question is: what do we do next?
I think what's interesting to know is of that 14 cents, how much of that 14 cents does Amazon keep as profits and how much goes directly to costs. Some analysis suggests AWS has 25% profit margin which means of that 14 cents, Amazon really only pockets ~2-3 cents per Lyft ride.

Another interesting question is whether that profit margin includes the original capex of when AWS was not reporting the revenue/profit of AWS in its early years. There's also all sorts of creative accounting methods to hide capex such that I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon is selling at cost to buy marketshare in a way somewhat analogous to Uber subsidizes rides to gain early marketshare.
You can state the facts without making a judgment in passing ("This isn't news. At all.")

To clarify my comment: saying "this isn't news" is akin to downvoting for disagreement. It questions the conversation itself.

The article is stating a fact too; we can discuss its implications, making judgments freely.
I'd also totally recommend Dark Matter. They have a great subscription right now that, IMO, is fairly approachable, but still interesting enough for folks who are into unique coffee. They also have one of the best supply chains I've run into - 2-day shipping to most places, so you're getting really fresh coffee. Turns out Chicago is nice for that.

Madcap is also excellent, as well as Tandem, Wild Gift, Ritual...

On the other side, if you're not aware, you might take some flack for working with Four Barrel, since they've had fairly public issues with their founder sexually harassing folks, and then further shadyness: https://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/Four-Barrel-...
It still should be vectorizable without the dedicated instruction. That isn't evident here so the comparison is questionable.
50% of all americans, and thus business owners, use FB or IG every day of their lives. I've personally managed at least 10 mil in profitable B2B FB spend.
Is it easy to set up a secure (i.e. encrypted) channel through IRC?

I've been thinking of learning how to use it, but the fact that it's not encrypted by default is off-putting. It's not IRC's fault though, considering when it was designed.
Just a note on four barrel: One of their cofounders sexually harassed and assaulted their employees. The other cofounders were aware and complicit until a lawsuit finally hit. They promised to make four barrel employee owned but still have not followed up on that promise: https://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/Four-Barrel-...

We stopped ordering from four barrel because of these reasons and I'd recommend you'd consider not carrying their coffee either.
Ok, but then how is it not extortion to demand a raise or else you'll quit?
Completely different situations in this case. This isn’t banning cow urine, it’s solving a co-mingling problem with real economic costs and jusristictional concerns.
I have taken a similar approach, although I tend to rely more on C than C++. I think Swift has somewhat similar advantages to Rust in terms of safety, but accomplishes it while being a largely permissive language rather than by putting the developer in a safety "jail" where it's almost impossible to make a mistake.

I know this comes at the cost of performance when compared to Rust when compared to memory management, but the value proposition in terms of productivity is huge. And recently I've done some experimentation with optimizing Swift for performance, and Swift can actually do surprisingly well there too if you stick to certain patters.

I think Rust has its place, and for things like kernel development, firmware, or software for a mars rover where you absolutely want the strongest compile-time checking of your code with respect to safety with a minimal cost to performance, it is a natural choice. I'm not convinced it's categorically better for all use-cases.
"because calories are not calories"

What are/were they then?
In Oklahoma years ago the Waffle House near me had an all you could eat option. It was reasonably cheap. It wasa huge win for nearby students.

I had a friend who ran track and he ate enough every time to close down the place I would have thought.

They removed the option after a couple of years.

I guess a lot of students got skinnier.

Personally I used to love their breakfeast food (of course) but they changed the oil they use to fry the breakfast items and I could not stand it. I kept trying but I could not get passed it.

I tried 3 other Waffles Houses near where I lived back then and it was the same in each one.

I havent been back since, but I really miss the way they used to be. I should find one and see if they have switched oils again.
Nice feature set. I'd also like to see an API/Direct OFX access.
If you work on a sufficiently long lived system, you also discover that you usually want string ids instead of numerical ids.

Among other things, numerical ids are subject to enumeration attack (especially if exposed in a GET url parameters).
Yeah, we do this too in Arvados (https://arvados.org). All our uuids consist of three parts separated by a hyphen. The first part denotes the cluster, the middle part denotes the type of object, and the last part is a random string. E.g.

qr1hi-j7d0g-a68mg4e5oh37oek

where 'qr1hi' is the cluster identifier, 'j7d0g' means 'project', and 'a68mg4e5oh37oek' is a unique identifier.

Anyone know if there's a video of it in action?
this is a lot better idea than those dash buttons. I wish you all the success, and hopefully you'll then be available here (UK)
Yes, we've thought a lot about this. We could end up doing something like what you describe.

The reason for the current format is that we want the scales to blend into your normal life. The scale is the size of one coffee bag so you just put it where you'd normally put your bag.
From the standpoint of a designer, this will likely simplify asset development pipelines since the new spec appears to be much closer to the iOS guidelines.
Not in any discussion I've read so far: what is the stall behavior of 737NG compared to 737MAX when MCAS is disabled via STAB TRIM set to cutoff?

We don't know, but will eventually find out, whether either plane was flying during the final descent to crash. By that I mean, was the wing producing any lift (dive to crash), or was the wing stalled (stall to crash) or some combination of both and in which order? And the stall behavior very well may become highly relevant.

It's a whole lot of ifs, a lot of questions, and not many answers.
Thank you! We're a dash button that presses itself. :)
> I distinguish these from cases where aggression is inflicted upon unwilling recipients.

That's a clever distinction, but I don't think it's sufficient. It's not clear that, e.g., the Athenian leadership, were "willing recipients" in Socrates' case and so your test would fail.

Further, I think this thread itself is a testament to the murkiness of "willingness" -- are we willingly engaged in a formal spar? We disagree, we're talking, we're debating. If I had thinner skin, I could accuse you of aggression and that would be that. You could do the same.

The "marketplace of ideas" should trump an individual's sensitivities. I will concede that the internet complicates this. Weirdos† -- neo-Nazis, furries, flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, bronies, hoarders, etc. -- can now find like-minded communities that validate their weird beliefs. The danger is the town square turning into a bunch of silos. Weirdos can often be a good thing for a society if their beliefs are validated in the marketplace. But they can also be a very dangerous thing if they all congregate on 8chan.

† By 'weirdos' I mean those that hold fringe beliefs or partake in fringe activities.
my guess is it's like this: https://youtu.be/vwIUgZmFTxc
You don’t understand how they work. The bidet does the initial and most of the cleaning, then you finish off/dry yourself with toilet paper. You use way less paper though and feel way cleaner.
This is my understanding, but it appears we're not correct. A cave dweller is a troglodyte, but a troll is not specifically a monster under a bridge. In fact, an old English term for walking is to troll [0]. It would appear that this is where the terms stroll and trolley come from.

Anecdote: A former company I worked for had a negative Glassdoor Review. It "disappeared". Dunno how, but it's not there anymore.

I would point out that in the case of the ICC, there are no "powerful authoritarian countries" which are members. See the graphic on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Statute_of_the_Internatio.... It's basically just the Commonwealth, the EU, and the Nordic countries.
"there is only ever one willing consenting party"

This is demonstrably untrue.
I have no problem with Google Play Music/YouTube Music because those are treated like equal citizens with Spotify on Android. I think it’s better for everyone if Apple Music’s competitors weren’t at a disadvantage just because Apple makes the platform, and I say this as someone who owns many Apple products.
Curve Matcher
So, I really like this idea, and I've been with plenty of coffee subscriptions over the last few years. My issue/worry is that I don't make coffee at home on a daily rate. I have coffee at the office most weekdays, and then at home on the weekend, and then usually also on one day I work from home.

For me, it would be really nice for your service to work out something like "You make 60g of coffee on Saturdays and Sundays, and then 30g's on Wednesday" and then work out when I'll be running out, and maybe order me a new bag to come in on Friday because it knows I'll likely run out on Saturday.

This doesn't seem super hard to do, but does seem like something that's important to work out, since there's a lot of products that people don't use on with regular daily amount.
They could literally just dam up the spillways for the washways, let the washways fill up with water, and then pump the water out of them into treatment plants during summer. Make the washways deeper to handle more water. It would cost money, but a lot of the infrastructure is already there.
I was checking their careers page (because.. you never know!:) and they have the 'courage' to link Glassdoor on their careers page[1]. Perhaps other companies also link Glassdoor to their careers page, but this is the FIRST time that I see this.

Thanks for the note.

New Zealand simply doesn't have the censorship infrastructure in place to do that.

We are ineffectively blocking websites through very crude technical means that are not designed for censorship.

Technically vegans are omnivores, too: being an omnivore means you are able to consume both plants and animals. Humans as a species are omnivores. Choosing to consume animal products is something else. I had always considered being an omnivore exclusive from being a vegan but I didn't have a good answer for lack of symmetry between a diet I am capable of eating and the diet I do eat. The "vegan" word for it is Carnism [1].
