The usd/try had a range of 4-7, Bitcoin had 3K-5K in the last year (and if you asked a month ago it would have been 3k-4K). Also by some measures of statistical deviations, BTC was less volatile.
So assuming 32 tonnes it's $668/kg for the hardware (assuming full payloads).

Probably also have to build in enough slack for occasional failed landings, but we don't know yet what the failure rate will be after the kinks are worked out.
The study evaluated the severity of autism symptoms (using subjective questionnaires) before and after the treatment, but didn't compare those results to a control group of people who weren't treated the same way.

It's like finding a couple dozen people with the flu, feeding them chicken soup, and then reporting that a month later they feel healthier, so the soup must have helped. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't, but you didn't measure that so you don't know.
> Since it's something private which I consider to be uncouth,

The point being made in this discussion is that it is a problem that you think sex is uncouth or disgusting.
I'm gonna also have to disagree. Slack search works. I can rely on it to save the information needed, and my ability to recover it.
I will never understand the “software-limited” versions of anything. Actually, that’s too soft. I hate software-limited things.

The hardware is already built and delivered, and the company literally loses nothing by allowing their customers to use it.

It reminds me of Verizon back in the early days of bluetooth when they wanted to charge customers to unlock it.

I will always avoid doing business with these kinds of companies.
Hi Zubairq,

it dosn't work when you have the `www` before `gitpod.io`.

Please try https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/zubairq/yazz

That should work.
I would bet a lot on this map never making it into the public (accepted officially). Maybe a reworked version with better contrast.

I absolutely agree that it is hard to guess how long a trip will take with the current design. Would be great to have another dimension which could be activated in an interactive map to give an idea of time (e.g. line thickness).
Use just `https://gitpod.io/#` as prefix for the URL of your repo.

Yep, it even supports generics, go figure (pun intended).
This is exactly why I don't use it. It's pretty much treated as synchronous communication. Sure, you can step away and ignore dialog for awhile to concentrate and do work, but people expect you to read back through what you missed and don't want to repeat discussions.

A few people tried to push it on my team when it started growing in popularity and immediately I noticed how much of a time sink it was. No thank you, I have enough hurdles to delivery, I don't need additional artificial hurdles I have some say in.
There's an 8 foot long copper rod as the earth ground now. Replacing the existing connection would be nasty, the power company would have to come out to pull the meter (it's sealed) to get at the bonding strap inside the box and it's doubtful they'd reenergize the place without a visible bond.

...then keep a straight face while your super Agile manager berates you in front of the entire team because you're hard to communicate with, we have Slack for a reason.

Not everyone has the choice to not allow Slack to interrupt you. Some organizations mandate this sort of communication, disruptive though it may be.

Edit: just to clarify, I'm not in this situation :-D. But I've seen it happening.
We are working on a similar query builder syntax for edgedb-python.
That sounds smart, though I can't imagine a huge copper bar came cheap. You can get something for as little as $17 off Amazon, and maybe cheaper if you look harder: https://www.amazon.com/Skywalker-Signature-Ground-Rod-4ft/dp...
> A case like this is how we determine if journalists are allowed to hack into government databases.

Which, considering the broad definition of "journalist" here, might mean that we're free to hack anything as long as we publish it.

Would I have the right to hack your web service and leak that data because "journalism"?

And if I get caught hacking something could I simply say that my intent was to publish it?
Wow, that's downright irresponsible.

I heavily played GTA: Vice City during the time I learned how to drive. After I got my driver's licence, I remember one instance where I clearly noticed how my brain drifted into GTA mode while I was driving through town. I had to actively remember myself that this is a real environment and that I cannot just drive over the street lamp post without anything happening. I talked to a classmate about this and he had had a similar experience, but with Mafia (which had a very realistic car handling, you could even activate an expert mode where you had to shift manually iirc).

I stopped playing GTA for a while after that.
This is disappointingly true.

You'd think we would have come up with better answers. I'm constantly looking for ways to better manage bug tracking, todo lists, and even managing job searches and professional networking, because I'm still not really happy with anything I've found.

As I bounce back and forth between different tools, I always land back on just using Excel or Google Sheets. I'm never entirely happy with those either, but I find that they're no worse at the job than the dedicated tools.
I worked at a startup where we were always having a hard time finding documents and conversations. Almost every other week we would try or consider adding another place to store documents as a solution for this problem.

I saw from the beginning that this made no sense at all, that adding a new sharing service could only make the problem worse but I could only slow this trend down.

A real solution would involve an intelligent aggregator that sucks it down from those sources and imposes some structure on it together with you.

For instance the python docs have everything you need to know about Python, Google and stack overflow are wrong at least half the time. So I build trails over the documents that get me to reference materials i need in 1 or 2 clicks.

Control of document sharing is also a big thing in Biz.

The star salesperson was trained as a lawyer. Ask him how to share a document and he will tell you to do it the same way my accountant does it. He doesn't mind it when I show him something in Github because he knows familiarity with Github gets him far in credibility with everybody.

Elsewhere in the business people use Google Docs and also collaborate with the hugest businesses on Earth. People at those businesses might not believe Google Docs is secure and it is not good for the relationship when somebody shares a Google Doc in Google.
I don't get it. Do people open up slack, and then sit there, staring at Slack? Sitting in a group chat, looking at everything that happens, reading everything that happens? I'm honestly curious. Do you watch other people get work done? Maybe in yours, people just chat about weird things all the time?

I just don't get it. Slack just sits there in the dock, and I don't need to keep the window open to have it remain useful. Maybe someone can shed some light on how "Group chat is like being in an all-day meeting?" I honestly don't get it.
I think there's a legitimate FOMO involved with not quickly reading messages. I say legitimate because it's not just missing out on inconsequential chatter. Slack is a business tool and business decisions get make over slack. The folks that read every messages and respond quickly are therefore the ones that get to contribute the most to decisions.

When waiting too long to respond, the conversation has already changed and it's too late to contribute. And Slack's threads don't solve that problem IMHO.
I wonder if Amazon’s days as the de facto online retailing site are numbered.

For nearly everything I buy on Amazon now, I wonder: “is this real? Are these reviews real? Will it break in 10 minutes?”

Obviously, Amazon is doing just fine, and we are a long way from my parents asking those same questions, and they have tons of businesses beside retail. So yes, they’ll be ok.

But I think they’ve left the door open for competition with their approach to third party sellers.
Dear Companies: Your Data Science Job Descriptions Are Awful
I don't understand this sentiment, why is organic so quickly associated why unscientific bullshit like anti-vaccine? Maybe it's specific to the US, but here in France even if historically there is a lot of snake-oil products associated with "natural" things, organic is a strict regulated label, and apart for some products (like wine), does not cause much debate in the "scientific-minded" crowd (except for GMO) for environmental and health benefits.
Only when they do that for a living. IIRC there are different rules for occasional currency conversion by individuals.
Were these "strict policies" licensing issues? Or coding standard issues? IMO these issues are orthogonal to ease of integration.

Writing a simple driver for say an I2C sensor is quite doable.
However, getting a driver into mainline requires conformity both in terms of licensing and in terms of coding standards for the whole library, including 3rd party code.

I actually posted in one of his threads. The sad part is I and I’m sure 99% of miscers were convinced it was a troll post.

The stuff he wrote was so unbelievable that it seems to be designed to trigger some members. I specifically remember a post where he bragged about having a bmw and still had no luck with girls and he saw <some other race> in a Honda with a pretty girl and he couldn’t believe it.

It was so outlandish it was impossible to take seriously.

When it comes to criticism about backup I have no problems with things getting wiped from the server. I assume a good p2p design has a "little server" and as much client as possible in it.

Enforcing in the clients to properly back up by default, or otherwise properly educating the user of what happens if they don't back-up would be as important as getting the code right. There is little difference to the user whether they lost data because they didn't understand they really had to do backups, or they got their keys compromised and messages deleted by a malicious 3rd party.

I do agree with all of GP's other points though.
I've found Lua engines like Love to be great for prototypes and gamejams but when it comes to implementing a full game its not as good as the full blown engines like Unity/Godot.

If your game has more than trivial amount of UI, particle-systems, 3D, etc then it becomes very time consuming. To write and tweak a full blown responsive UI like in-game windows, alerts, animations etc with code-only is not trivial. With a full-featured editor like Unity and Godot, UI, particles, tweened-animations and such becomes much easier as you can keep interactively tweak things around until its perfect without the edit-code & recompile cycle.

There's also King's "Defold" engine which uses Lua and has a visual editor but the last time I used it over a year ago, I found there was almost no in-game UI libraries so although making the prototype was fun and relatively easy adding UI became difficult.
Same for the back of my iPad Pro at times, too. I appreciate this post – thought I was crazy!
Where did I say we were good, please point it out, because I missed it.

When did I say I was white, again please point it out because I missed it.

We've proven that humans as both individuals, and as a species are capable of horrible atrocities. The behavior of humans, in groups, is dictated by the people in charge. The people in charge in China have proven themselves, repeatedly, to not value human life. I used one example in my post. Do I really need to list the systemic things the group of men running China have done to other citizens of China. I didn't think so.

As a group the men running China have a much different view on human life than the many of the governments around the world. What they support and encourage as a group I willing to bet, is probably beyond what most people in the world would consider acceptable. That's not to say the some parts of governments, and large companies aren't pushing the boundaries, not to mention well off individuals who are personally looking for an edge.
You are absolutely correct. The real issue is a cultural one not one based on tools. At some companies, employees expect 10 second response times to all questions. This is so that they can be more efficient. But that efficiency comes at the cost of the answerer's efficiency. If all people just have Slack "off" all day, doesn't that largely defeat the purpose? Why not just use something else? (Not making a judgment on whether Slack is good or bad, it is what it is)

> E-commerce storefronts are not useful for product discovery.

Probably a notable paradigm. E-commerce storefronts aren't so much for shopping as they are purchasing. There's definitely a bit of a difference.

(That said I've actually had some luck on Amazon being able to get some lotion I liked from Hawaii here in Toronto and finding a deodorant I actually like. The former is an example of "purchasing", the latter "shopping".)

That's an interesting issue, since in continential Europe (and a lot of the rest of the world) the plugs are symmetrical and don't distuingish between active and neutral. I guess if this happens to me with a three-pronged plug I should try flipping it.

Obviously, you're being sarcastic, but....

One of more credible theories about depression is that it occurs when the brain gets stuck in a "bad" state or cycle (like a local minimum or attracting state). If this model is correct, a treatment that nudges brain activity away from the depressed state and towards a less pathological one would help.

It's more akin to rebooting the computer than smashing it, if you will.

> Christianity had caused a millenia-lasting trauma on western civilization due to its views on sexuality

Just curious: What's your take on non-Christian cultures? They seem to have had a variety of views on the acceptability of homosexual sex, polygamy, age of consent, the line between endogamy and incest, acceptability of eunuchs/"third sexes", bride price v. dowery, etc. etc. but none of them really come close a modern Western sexual ethic of consent. Why not, in your view?
a president commuting a sentence is orthogonal to whether or not a crime actually occurred. imo, the president was reacting to the political reality that, in the public eye, manning was becoming a sympathetic character and had already been punished enough. there's no particular reason why the same deal would be extended to assange, who has essentially spent the last several years thumbing his nose at the US government.

> it's like... if I commit a robbery and you drive the getaway vehicle, I am (the actual robber) deemed innocent and let go, but you still go to prison for being an accomplice. It makes little sense?

it could easily be the case that there's enough evidence to show that a robbery occurred and that I drove the getaway car, but not enough to convict you of the robbery itself. the fact that one of the accused in an alleged conspiracy is found not guilty really has no bearing on whether others can still be convicted.

> Mars is more livable than the moon because it has atmospheric CO2, (more) water, and a better mineral story.

The post I was answering posited a Moon base first because it's a less ambitious test bed, and I think that is largely correct. I was not making the case for a self-sufficient Moon colony instead of colonizing Mars.

> it's clear that nothing which filters down to the parents could be called anything close to known (much less absolutely).

It is very hard to make that argument convincingly in the face of, say, honor killings. Yes, theoretically you could argue that parents who intentionally harm their child technically do not "know" any better. But if we are talking on that level, that is certainly not an argument in support of why giving birth to a baby on Mars is somehow worse.
I would expect a body to change after a year of any circumstance.
You're correct, but it's not immediately clear to me what it means to be part of such a conspiracy.

Would simply receiving classified information from Chelsea Manning count? (Probably not, I would guess.)

What about receiving classified information and then remarking "Wow, this is great stuff! I'm going to pass this information on to prominent news organizations through my website called Wikileaks. You don't have more that you could send me, do you?" Would this count as conspiracy if his remark lead to Manning obtaining more information in an illegal manner? It seems that something along these lines may have happened.

It seems to me that Assange should only be prosecuted if he broke into DoD computers himself. It doesn't appear that such an event occurred. I believe that discourse between a journalist and a source (or any two civillians, for that matter) is protected by the 1st Amendment. Thus, encouraging Manning to hack government computers, or even describing to her how to hack government computers[1], should both be protected by the 1st Amendment.

[1] Perhaps this opinion is controversial. Allow me to lay out an example:

Source: "I've sent you all the info I have! Everything else is password-protected."
Reporter: "The password isn't 'password123', is it?"
Source: "Hey, that worked! Let me send you some more stuff to help with your expose."

In this case, or even if the reporter suggested something more technically advanced like "Hey, look up sql injection on Wikipedia," I believe that the reporter's speech is protected by the 1st Amendment. (The source's activities are almost certainly illegal, but that doesn't answer the question of whether they should be prosecuted for them).
No one working on web components had ever said that they're intended to be used with absolutely no helpers.
The network effects are key here because you can't have competitive ETAs without having a lot of supply density and without enough demand you can't build the supply density, so aside from the incentives you are seeing Lyft and Uber using now, there are even more subsidies to build the marketplace and you have to do that city by city and neighborhood by neighborhood in the case of larger markets like NYC. There are also heavy ops costs to get a driver through the funnel and to keep them on the platform. Not saying it couldn't be done but it is not so easy for someone to come in and take marketshare.
