As I mentioned in another comment, you can use Control-[ to produce ESC in programs which respect ASCII control character values. So this will work with vim and emacs, but likely would not work to simulate depressing a cancel button in a GUI.

Personally, I prefer the Control-[ combo as it allows me to slide my left pinky slightly from the home row and right pinky 45 degrees up and right to produces an ESC. Over the years it has made having to hunt for a physical ESC key quite irritating for the few programs which require it :-).

For people born in certain countries like China, it is indeed a bad deal, due to per-country quota. Yes, there are scams. A Chinese attorney couple in California got busted.

USCIS mandates that the investment (in this case, $500K) should be at risk.

However, if one has $1M to invest and create 10 jobs for two years, this pipeline hasn't exhausted per-country quota as yet. The GP makes enough money to go through this route. Buy a failing business in some area, run it for a loss and get the green card. Here, one doesn't need to deal with sleazy lawyers.

$7.25 per hr is the min wage in some states. $20K per year per job. 10 jobs per year = $200K. Run it until conditions are removed for the green card. Due to delays in gc processing, add one more year to 2 years conditional period. So, 3 years in total. The total cost: $200K * 3 = $600K.

This looks really cool. I've done a couple live coding streams with someone working with me as a sort of collaborative effort. I see a lot of potential for this replacing live streams for this sort of thing. Do I have to know every guest? Can I provide a link for viewing guests to access?

It looks like the current implementation is either fully open or read-only for all guests. There seems to be no way to ... "assign roles". Am I wrong?

A good first question to ask about a data model is, "where does the data live?"

In general, we think it's a good idea to make Stripe the "one true source" for as much of your customer and billing data as possible.

Our company went the opposite way, we have our own model and we abstract stripe as a payment option supported. Recently with the same model we were able to add Paypal and other country specific payment methods.

I think it's important not to undersell the universal utility of focus. Even if you ignore the obvious physical advantages afforded by PED-stimulant drugs, like decreased reaction time or increased endurance.

If you model decision making in a zero-sum adverserial context like football or chess as an OODA loop[1], then a drug that decreases your processing time and decision making time is going to grant you an advantage by shortening that OODA loop.

The average (or more specifically: arithmetic mean) has a number of key properties that allows for advanced analysis.

If you have two pieces of data: say the average roll of a D6 (6-sided dice) + average roll of D20 (20-sided dice), you wouldn't be able to do anything with percentiles.

The 90% percentile roll of D20 is 18. The 90% percentile roll of D6 is 5(ish). But the sum of these numbers tells us nothing (18 + 5 == 23, which tells us... nothing).

In contrast, the mean / average roll of D20 is 10.5, while the average roll of D6 is 3.5. The average roll of D20 + average of D6 is 14.

You can add and subtract averages just fine, combining separate pieces of data to make a larger conclusion. You cannot do the same with percentages.

----------

There's nothing "misleading" about averages. Its just that most people are awful at statistics. The real lesson is... learn statistics, so that you can learn to use these tools correctly.

Averages, and standard deviation / variance, are excellent for combining data. Its a blurry picture, but its still mathematically correct. Percentiles / quartiles / graphs are more precise and allow for deeper conclusions... but its not always possible to create a percentile graph, especially if you cannot directly measure some attribute. "Indirect measurement", by way of arithmetic, averages, and standard deviation, is quite useful.

----------

EDIT: While I'm talking statistics, don't forget about the three kinds of averages: Arithmetic Mean is the most common, but is often meaningless. You have to also understand geometric mean, and harmonic mean.

Multiplicative problems should use a geometric mean. Harmonic Mean is used when comparing speeds (roughly). Going 60MPH for 10 miles, and then going 120MPH for 10 miles is averaged using Harmonic Mean.

Benchmarks should typically use harmonic mean: the arithmetic mean is meaningless in the scope of benchmarks. Etc. etc.

But this is all statistics, that for some reason is rarely taught well in the US High School level. IMO, its an issue with our school system... we really should be teaching more statistics, especially given how common the analysis of data is in today's world.

It was a generic "you" - and yes, you did make an analogy that does not apply since employees are not fungible.

You also present now a distorted view about business relationships - they're about trust far more often than they are about squeezing the best price. That's it really - once I learn that I can't trust my employer to compensate me fairly, that business relationship is broken, and short-term money can't fix it.
I mean, it's a web browser aimed at media consumption. Not supporting DRM will sadly seriously restrict its usage.
Well, what if you cut it down, use it as a long term building material, and then regrow it?

It maybe depends on the weights that you're loading with the model
Since there is no evidence the problems you are bringing up are actually problems, even after a lot of information has been made public, I think it is more reasonable than not to presume the problem is where most everyone is looking for it. This does not seem to be a great mystery and a fix was already underway before the second accident.

In the strict sense of the term, we the public will never know. The same people who built the plane will provide a fix, the same people who certified the plane will do so again, the same people who were flying them will do so again, and we will trust them or we won't. Some more people will have their eyes on it, but again, we still won't know. That is the way most science and technology works. Everyone has their small domain of expertise and must trust others in their own. Mistakes were made, and most mistakes look stupid/obvious on hindsight, but they don't negate the capacities of the parties involved. All car manufacturers have safety recalls extremely regularly and we don't make them out to be criminals, nor do we make the certifying agencies pariahs. I personally find it an exaggerated response to lose all trust in everyone involved - especially since new models of planes regularly have more accidents in their first few years of flight, because they are hard to make and they have bugs. It also seems unreasonable for me to criticize a manufacturer for taking economic/market concerns into account when historically even the largest manufacturers are on the verge of bankruptcy semi-regularly. Realistically, they must. At the same time this specific decision does not appear to have been the correct one, but I don't demonize them for making it and even at my most cynical, they obviously did not think people would be dying because of it.

The entire idea behind DRM is to gain control over the user experience of legitimate users. Pirates will always break whatever DRM scheme you use. Wasting energy on them will always be futile. Controlling the user experience? That's where you can make a lot of money by pushing out competitors.
I always found it strange that the standard view usually depicts Lanthanum + Actinium on the main block and Lutetium + Lawrencium on the auxiliary. I suppose historically it makes sense that valence was the motivating factor, but at my (totally layperson at this point) glance, the pedagogy seems like it would be simpler to just adopt a more electron-orbital-focused design like the "left step" one.

In any case, it's not like anyone should really be looking at the table placement of an element say to themselves "ah yes now I know everything about how this behaves"; the exceptions are basically an intractable necessity in chemistry.
Solar on the WEIM market [1][2], which (given more and more utilities joining) is more and more of the actual interconnected infrastructure within the WECC [3] -- including plants down south in CA, AZ, NV, NM.

The scenario to envision is that there will be times when solar is cheap enough to buy on the market that a hydro-heavy utility can ''reduce'' hydro generation during the day, and timeshift that same generation into later hours when solar drops off to sell it for profit.

A solar- or natgas-heavy, hydro-poor utility (e.g. San Diego Gas & Electric [5], NV Energy [6][7]) can't do the same, they have to invest in storage, buy power from elsewhere (where the exact source is abstracted away), or spin up more natgas at peak times. The latter two are the most popular solutions now, but regulations in California are now forcing [4] the first issue in CA.

Implementing render(blocks) -> html is trivial.

The hard part I'm referring to is making the WYSIWYG editor. Contenteditable takes things a step further by having you (editor + plugin implementors) intercept every native event and then reimplement that logic yourself, especially between click, hover, and touch (mobile) and browser differences between the events.

Since you said you were going to try it in your current project, I just wanted to warn you. I learned this the hard way when using Facebook's Draft.js on a simple chat box input. We moved to either ckeditor or tinymce iirc because support was more polished all around.
> Both add heavy language features and runtimes

C++ did none of that.

Unlike ObjC, there was no heavy runtime in initial versions. It was physically impossible, because it compiled into C. Even in modern versions, C++ runtime is very small unless you use corresponding standard library features.

Similar for language features. Before templates, C++ only added a few keywords to the language. In the same manner TS adds strong typing, interfaces, generics and modules.

Yet it is still Boeing's refusal to assure that the requisite information ended up in front of the pilots. The manual must be sold with the plane and it must be accurate, containing enough information to instill in an average pilot an accurate understanding of all safety critical aircraft systems, which MCAS, through Boeing's failure to reclassify during certification, wasn't acknowledged to be.

Boeing doesn't get a pass, and the Ethiopian Air pilot was just as capable if only a bit less informed.

If you cannot safely deploy your product/documentation, then you aren't done. Boeing should have known and recognized that.

The certification process is meant to be proof against a failure like this, which goes to show that there are deeper problems in the organization that need remediation.
That sucks, perhaps you were rejected based on culture fit? I wish that these VC funded startups would just admit that they're looking for FAANG engineers and be done with it.

I was never an evernote power user, but I find Notion to be much more intuitive and preferable with two exceptions: Evernote's inline audio tool is really excellent. Being able to capture snippets lightning fast inline is crucial to my workflow as a musician. And Notion is slow on startup. Hopefully they become profitable enough to decide a native mac client is worthwhile.

In general, Notion has the same feel to me that Slack did when it first came out: Just the right balance of cutesy, thoughtful detail in the UX, but in a way that doesn't feel superfluous because the underlying abstractions are also very well considered.

Choosing the emoji icons for pages, being able to /page to make a new linked page inline, @referencing pages, the interchangeable table and calendar views... none of it is particularly novel, but they're the best I've ever used at making it feel effortless to compose.

I think part of this, at least, it eating meat much more sparingly. From what I understand huge swaths of the Amazon are slashed and burned to make room for cattle which do the opposite of sequestering carbon by converting any it finds into methane (and meat).

So basically we need to eat less meat to give plants more room. And we will need lots of room since we need to not only sequester the carbon of the trees we've previously destroyed (assuming they were burned and not converted into buildings), but all the millions (billions?) (trillions?) of pounds of hydrocarbons we've pumped out of the ground.

To sequester that much carbon we need trillions of pounds more life on earth than we currently have which means we need to let the oceans fill up with carbon-based mass (algae, fish, etc), let the rain forests and other carbon-high forests grow to their geographic boundaries.

I don't think it's the silver bullet, but it's definitely a great start and technologically easier than turning CO2 into graphene or diamonds or whatever.

Discount Strong Bad Emails
I've been following this space for some time [1], and for me the constant struggle has been finding something that is both batteries-included, so I don't have to build a usable editor from primitives on projects where the core differentiator is not related to how content gets authored, and mobile-friendly, so that I don't have weird capslock bugs on iOS [2], completely broken Android support [3], and just general mobile weirdness [4].

To the best of my knowledge, Prosemirror has been most willing to prioritize mobile support, and currently has the best mobile browser coverage of the three most commonly mentioned modern contentEditable options (prosemirror, draft-js, quill). Unfortunately, building an editor with Prosemirror is a very hands-on process that requires you to make all the UI decisions and most of the UX decisions yourself, which isn't a great fit for most projects that don't need to innovate in the actual content creation side of things.

I would LOVE it if a batteries-included editor like this, which clearly had a lot of thought put into the UX and UI aspects, was built on the very-robust technical foundation of Prosemirror (or similar). There are a few efforts at this on GitHub, but nothing so far with more than one or two contributors that I've found. The backend of editor.js looks solid, but without any discussion of mobile IME support, and without the backing of big players like NYT [5], realistically I can only guess that mobile support for editor.js will end up similar to the well-intentioned but partially complete mobile support found in other smaller projects like quill, slate, etc.

This is why Popcorn Time was such a huge hit: it provided effortless access to movie torrents for the masses. Obviously, this also explains the rapid response by content publishers to crush the project.
