You're right, except for the fact that it wasn't the skillset obtained by being a barber that helped build the business - it was the person's business acumen.

You can be great at cutting hair, but abysmal at leading individuals, much less operating a business.
Hey Ben I really hate how your company spams every web page I visit.

I just wanted to say that and look forward to your company eventually going out of business.
I stay pesca for ease of diet. Even in nowhere, US you can walk into a diner and get a fish sandwich.

"how often are you in nowhere, US?"

and that's about how often I eat fish. To me it's just a less bad choice, which in my brain is still a net positive gain on the meal.

A lot of the mfg costs have been offset by automation. Where China now has the advantage is vertical markets in close proximity. You have chips, boards, cases, plastics all created in proximity which adds value. Not too dissimilar to Detroit in the 50's and 60's, a lot of vertical and related markets had footholds in the area.

I think if you isolated China economically, the US and other markets would be able to build their own competitive versions within a couple years.

What is concerning to me is an increasing movement under a different name that would lead to similar policies in the US over time. At least comparing the rhetoric to communist theory in the early 1900's.

"...when a request under provisions of state public records law was sent to the city on January 3 to obtain data generated by a single so-called smart streetlight installed on a Market Street light pole, the response was repeatedly delayed.

“The City has to conduct a search for records, examine records, consult with another agency, or compile data in order to determine whether it has disclosable records,” said a January 11 message.

“Pursuant to Cal. Government Code section 6253(c), the City needs to consult with multiple departments having substantial interest in the determination of the request or among two or more components of the department having substantial subject matter interest; such consultation shall be conducted with all practical speed. Therefore, the City is taking a 14-day extension in which to conduct this consultation. We will notify you on or before January 25 whether the City has disclosable records."

Come January 25, the city said it still wasn’t prepared to turn over the records.”
I won't purchase another MacBook, that much is certain. Unless they go back and make something good, of course.
I feel like we are going to need smart roads before we can have autonomous vehicles. If the road could talk to the car, the car would be harder to fool or confuse. Maybe.

Every time I'm on a conference call and someone has one of the new macbooks, we tease them about typing angry. They are so goddamned loud.

I had my 2015 repaired recently for $400 because I'm waiting for the 2019 macbook and hoping they've gone with a different keyboard design.
Your comment that I replied to had a broad enough scope (i.e. asking the majority of the population to pick up and move close to their work) that it is still in context.

Buying an electric car will contribute on the margin to stopping fracking due to less gasoline consumption. It is action rather than yelling and virtue signalling.

I live in San Diego and frankly, I hate the new lights because they simply aren't as bright and there are fewer of them. I can't run outside after work during the winter because the streets are dark now.
This is a problem everywhere in the world, not just with rent controlled apartments. (Of course, those are a lot more lucrative.)

However, I'd wager courts would side with tenants that their right to privacy and ability to distribute a key are more important than the landlord's ability to fight subleasing this way.

Those two statements aren't mutually exclusive. Some are religious, some are off-kilter and some are both.
I would assume most people woulf think that. The majority of people overestimate the value they provide.
> The thing missing from this test is that critical practical piece: if there was an oncoming car, will the Tesla do something to avoid the collision? I would assume that not getting in a head-on crash is higher priority than staying in the lane markings.

Considering that a Tesla is happy to ram you into the back of a stopped vehicle, at highway speeds, I wouldn't have that hope.

Autopilot does two things - follows the vehicle in front of you, and stays between the lane lines.
Religious reasons, for one.

Some vegetarians are just very grossed out by it (I'm one of them).

I generally look the other way at very minor cross contamination, its probably going to happen once in a while, especially if I don't know about it, but if I taste meat juices in my food I completely lose my appetite. I once bit into sausage that found its way into my pizza (I suspect it fell into the cheese) and I couldn't eat pizza for a while after that. (of course, for a burger that's supposed to taste exactly like beef, you wouldn't know...)

If you think that makes me crazy or whatever, then so be it.
You're describing an anecdotal and seemingly trivial corner case, which may very well have been solved by these secretive companies already (wish we saw more data). It's most likely the scenarios we haven't thought of, the truly unique/very hard scenarios, the ones humans would fail at as well: those are the truly hard edge cases. Not 2 cars sitting stopped at stop signs... are you seriously claiming 2 stopped cars requires AGI?

Yes I read it, I am just not convinced it is financially feasible, or sustainable. Freemium models works in Gaming when 1% of players are paying in millions, a factor of 100s of thousands more than lowest paying member. And I don't understand why their model would work.
> We just really be testing their ability to sort through a bunch of legacy OOP designed by people who are so board with the project domain that made of bunch of bad abstractions

My preferred coding interview approach is indeed to let the candidate interact with a correct but poorly-written piece of code and refactor it into something more maintainable. I find that reading and working with other people's code is a hugely important part of the job on a modern dev team, but rarely is that part of the evaluation.
CF is at the mercy of the CAs (DigiCert/Comodo), and at least based on LetsEncrypt's stance [0], they should be OK to issue .ir certificates as long as the customer is not a Gov't entity. The only issue is that these CA's are just playing it safe by not issuing any .ir domains, making CF also unable to issue .ir.

I believe CF is working on LetsEncrypt certificates, at least based on letsencrypt.org being included in the 'automatic' CAA records[1].

there is nothing accessible about modern day computers. we can’t see anything that is going on, and it is terribly difficult if not impossible to change things in most cases. almost all of modern computing is a collection of tunnel visioned boxes that can’t communicate with each other.

i just don’t see how you can claim “normal” computer programs let you choose how you interact with them. i don’t see that at all.

i think you miss the point of dynamicland because it is about accessibility. it is about touching. it is about seeing. in dynamicland, there are a multitude of ways to interact with the system.

Incorrect link, I assume. This points to a story about Saudi Aramco for me.
This question could be posed better, but it does deserve an answer. "Meat" does not have a precise biological meaning; its meaning is largely cultural. Some people distinguish "red meat" and "white meat"; others understand meat as separate from poultry, and seafood (is fish seafood? same story). In fact, in some languages the word for "meat" is more specific to mammal meat - e.g. french, "viande" vs "volaille" - in others less so: in Japanese, 魚 (fish) is definitely not 肉 (meat) but you eat 牛肉 (cow-meat) and 鳥肉 (bird-meat).

The vocabulary of cooking is full of these sort of things (legumes/vegetables/fruits/...is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? is a potato a vegetable?)

>Is Apple going to accept that they’re currently alienating and undermining decades of goodwill by shipping broken computers in mass quantities?

Most people will keep buying Apple computers because they've accepted the Apple "lifestyle" (ecosystem) and think Windows or Linux are gross. Having a poor product doesn't hurt your sales if your buyers perceive the other options are worse.
you hold voters/politicians responsible. Voters are the ones who keep voting for politicians that subsidize the oil industry. We need to stop the subsidies. And then add in some steep extra taxes on oil/gas to offset the damage to the environment. Once prices rise, all the sudden people and companies will start making the right decisions.
Too bad there isn't any accountability on the spending, just like all the tax credits to entice the telecom's to build out broadband, but they didn't spend that money.

The telco's will claim to have spent that money, but they won't do anything, and once the cap is reached the telco's and shut it down again until the government gives them more incentives which they can use to line their pockets.

What a racket.

Announcement: OS2World Merging with the Flat Earth Society
Speaking anecdotally (which maybe the dataset backs up?) - yes.

Immigration bureaucracy has slowed to a crawl, processes that used to take 6 weeks are now taking 6 months. It's unfortunate, since the news only talks about the administration's policies on undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers, not how the administration is dragging their feet on _all_ immigration processes.

It's just not worth it to sponsor an H-1B, especially if you're a medium/small sized company. Costs too much time and money.
There's value in supporting ethical businesses. There's also value in encouraging less-ethical businesses to be more ethical.

I can't speak to the situation in the US, but here in the UK, veggie burgers in fast food restaurants represented a fairly significant tipping point. In the late 80s and early 90s, it could be genuinely inconvenient to be vegetarian. Asking "do you have a vegetarian option?" in a restaurant often resulted in a blank look. If you wanted to buy meat substitutes, your only option was a health food shop.

By the 00s, being a vegetarian had become a complete non-issue. Every restaurant had at least one reasonable vegetarian option, every supermarket had a decent selection of meat substitutes and vegetarian ready-meals, every product that was suitable for vegetarians was labelled as such.

For would-be vegetarians, that ubiquity removed a significant barrier. The sheer convenience of vegetarianism induced a lot of people to give it a try and took away an excuse for not trying. Perhaps equally significantly, it normalised vegetarianism - when McDonalds and Burger King offer a vegetarian option, you can no longer argue that it's some weird hippie fad. The same thing is now happening for veganism.
> So here’s some anecdata for Apple. I sampled the people at Basecamp. Out of the 42 people using MacBooks at the company, a staggering 26% are dealing with keyboard issues right now!

Apple employs quite a few more than 42 people using these keyboards... how are its own employees not going berserk?

I've been offered director and management positions but remained IC, would only consider those non-remote; I am up for the challenge now. I'm a machine and miracle worker as an IC coder. I mentor my team mates and always seek to have redundant information and adaptable processes. I am seeking new mentors for higher level skills. I aim to work with a team that offers increasingly large challenges.
> maybe you're right IFF you start using a custom user model from the very beginning, if you happen to forget that, Django will make your life like a hell and will refuse to even pass startup checkups

The startup checks are protecting you from more subtle problems because if you switch to a custom model, you need to do a migration for your stored data. That's a one-time process which can be squashed as soon as you migrate the last server running the old code.

> so you suggest I rewrite my applications to DRF just to have JSON http request decoding?

DRF is a helpful tool which solves a number of common cases but it's not doing anything you can't do in standard Django: that could be as simple as json.loads(request.body) in the appropriate view or, more commonly, a decorator or class-based view which provides standardized error handling, etc.

The reason why the stock forms API doesn't do this by default is that it's designed to support the <form> interface in the HTML standard, which defines a simple key-value interface which is much simpler than what can be expressed in JSON:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastr...

Once you're moving out of the realm of standard browser interfaces it's much harder to write a generic validation interface suitable for having in a standard library, especially since there are multiple competing ideas of what this should look like and most of them are easily installable from PyPI without the Django project having to support them.
Hey, what kind of visa support do you offer?
Maybe in just base salary
Just a random data point. I've used Tesla's autopilot on completely unmarked dirt roads in the past. The speed was low an I was monitoring the it very carefully, but it did somewhat work on some of the dirt roads I tried it on.
Maybe Apple should take accessibility more seriously then? I'm a Voiceover user on iOS and accessibility has been regressing recently. Two examples I can think of include the fact that in the last several releases of iOS Voiceover can no longer read an entire article in the news app with out losing focus as well as the fact that all reviews in the app store have "developer response" announced even when none are available. Apple also appears to make no effort to engage with the accessibility community in the same way Microsoft or Google do. While Apple may have been a pioneer in accessibility I'm starting to look at cheep Android One phones to determine if I can switch from iOS.
How does this play with various arbitrary geoip blocks that various video on demand sites deploy ? Cloudflare being a large enough player has enough clout to affect some of these regressive practices (which I consider to be a violation of net-neutrality; a form of ip discrimination if you will). Yet, I feel that it will have the opposite effect, in that cloudflare will get whitelisted somehow much to the disadvantage of other vpn providers.
> some of it is due to taste
