Yeah. I should probably write a blog post going through all this...

Keep in mind, I selected for the highest quality meat I could find -- organic, grass fed, grass finished, small farm raised, etc.

Step 1: Find farms. I used my local farmer's market as a jumping off point, they publish a local farm guide.

Step 2: Ensure the farmer meets your criteria, get information on cost and availability. Most farmers had this info on their websites or were a single call/email away. Farmers, btw, are generally not technologists. Some farmers will let you come by. Others won't.

Step 3: Pay your down payment and wait. I put $400 down, and I waited a couple months for my harvest date.

Step 4 (Optional): On harvest day, I could come collect the organ meat (tongue, liver, heart, etc.) if I wanted them, directly from the farm.

Step 5: Pay the farmer -- I paid about $2000 to the farmer at this point.

Step 6: Contact the butcher with your cut sheet. An animal has a number of different cuts that are mutually exclusive -- prime rib vs ribeye steaks, filet mignon/new yorks vs tbones, etc. The butcher will walk you through this.

Step 7: Wait again. The butcher hangs the animal for a few weeks, then processes it via your cut sheet. I think this was 3-4 weeks for me? It was around the holidays, so they were slammed.

Step 8: Pick up your beef, pay the butcher. Be prepared to fill your car with coolers, and fill the coolers with beef. I picked up ~415-480lbs of beef and bones, and paid the butcher ~$550. Every cut was packaged, neatly labeled in white paper, and I stacked them into coolers and drove off.

Step 9: Deliver to your friends. I split my order into 1/8ths and delivered to friends. We kept 1/2, some friends took 1/4, some took 1/8th, and some further split their 1/8th with other friends. (For my own sanity, I refused to subdivide below 1/8th.)

1/8th is about 50-60lbs of meat, which packs a medium sized freezer above/below a fridge. Be prepared and clean that freezer out in advance!

Step 10: Find lots of recipes. Share recipes. Explore global culture through your food. I discovered key wat, a spicy Ethiopian beef stew, because I wanted to go beyond just the meat and potatoes from my midwest history.

The 4th amendment requires a warrant for actions that would constitute a trespass at a common law. (Under modern interpretations, a warrant is required for some things that don't constitute a trespass, but most people agree that a warrant is required at least for things that are a trespass.) Chalking your car is a trespass to chattels (personal property) and so requires a warrant.

If you're at the Grand Canyon for an hour, and spend 5 minutes taking photos/selfies, you've still got 55 minutes of the rest of the experience.

A lot of things look silly when observed, as opposed to being experienced. Turn around during a concert and watch for a good while. The audience may look... strange.

One of my big objections to Susan Sontag's "On Photography" is the common idea that if we take photos we don't experience the moment. I've got a child, and I've taken 30K photos of him since he was born (he's 15 now). When I fly through his photographic timeline, my memories of the moments around the photos are pretty vivid. I'm glad to have the record.
.NET-the-technology is pretty good, but for many developers, .NET is synonymous with expensive licensing and tooling (and you pretty much have to use Windows, ick).

The JVM and .NET are presently about the same capability-wise, but Java is (or at least, is perceived as) much easier and cheaper to freely experiment with. Unless you need to use C# for some deep Windows integration, this makes Java the obvious choice for anyone without sunk costs in the .NET ecosystem.
That's an important distinction to make. "Homeless" carries a large negative connotation and lumping in relatively affluent people like this dilutes the large issue of homelessness [not by choice] faced by so many

Tesla's "maybe someday it will be capable of full self-driving" computer is now in all new cars. Also, Full Self Driving is a marketing term that may or may not ever mean Level 4 or Level 5 autonomy.
Totally Agree, it's a pretty sad state when we're looking for magic tech solutions that can be heavily mitigated by simple behavior changes like bringing water, bringing bags and coffee mugs.

When i visited Germany you bought a bag if you didn't have one and it seemed everyone had them. In the US grocery chains knock a nickel off your total for all the bags you don't use. I don't think saving 20-40 cents is a huge motivator for people. If all grocery chains charged $1 per bag used, behavior may change.

Ideally we should try to motivate people into proper behavior and make it part of the cultural expectation.

It's important to remember the order of operations are listed in order of importance.
1. Reduce
2. Reuse
3. Recycle

This ruling is bad for 2 reasons.

1. It's an example of unintended consequence.
It changes no circumstance (same cop will just be running around snapping pictures), it makes it more costly for the inefficient government. GJ there.

2. You enter into an implicit contract when you voluntarily subject yourself to the statute of the limited parking (the code is on the signage). It's not unreasonable to be tracked for the purposes of enforcement, anymore than providing an ID for a vehicle license.

This appears to be a strawman precedent (bad lawyering) that a higher court will casually reverse (that would be the supreme court).

Next up, breathing on a citizen or observing clothing by a law enforcement officer can be construed as unreasonable via the 4th?

It doesn't look like this works in the web browser or uses any of the Jupyter infrastructure at all. It seems like the UX is far better than IHaskell's Jupyter console integration though, which is fantastic.

IMO the biggest issue with IHaskell is that it requires a correctly configured Python environment (in addition to a correctly configured Haskell environment), which this also does, so I don't think this is a substantive improvement.

Instead of chalking the tire they can chalk the pavement just before and after the tires. Perhaps they could even write the license plate number on the pavement too.
While I agree with your sentiment, housing has the advantage of being directly useful in and of itself. It’s bad to lose 20% of a $200k house, but it’s still saving you rent and is a long-term wage-inflation-matching (not, and cannot be, wage-beating in the long term) asset.

Assuming every one of those overnight stays means two days spent in Berlin, and if they are spread out over the year, that's 175 thousand tourists at any given time, about 5% of the population. Of course they'll congregate in certain locations and certain times of year, but you're overstating the case.

Instead of shaking your fist at airplanes flying overhead, maybe try increasing the hotel tax and cracking down on AirBnBs.

Of course, you'll probably encounter opposition to this because some locals are making a great deal of profit.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. You raise an important point on the rather uneven application of justice when it comes to the expansion of police powers.

After what, 60 years of chalking tires, the courts decide it is unconstitutional. But the CBP are free to confiscate your phone, and you may be searched on suspicion of harboring illegals. Nearly the entire US population lives within 100 miles of a border (or the coast!) and are subject to warrantless searches by DHS policy. Doesn't seem right.

Hell, I'd personally camp out in a storage unit if I could. All I want is a place to sleep and store a handful of things. Since zoning laws prevent that and because there are few affordable & legal options, I'm always forced to rent a larger amount of space than I need for thousands of dollars rather than hundreds. I'm not saying that I'd live so minimally forever, but as a single guy trying to save money, it'd be be a boon to my finances.

The reason I don't currently live at PodShare, like the subject in that article, is that I remembered seeing the monthly fee being well over $1000, at which point it makes no sense over simply renting a room in someone's house.

Something to throw out:

Do the manufacturers of this chalk (or any chalk) regularly test for asbestos contamination?

From what I understand, it is kinda the same safety hazard you'd have with cosmetic uses of talc (for makeup and the like); the risk is low for contamination, but it is possible - which is why they do testing on talc (and even then, there is still the possibility of it being present in very, very low amounts).

I'm just wondering if the same applies to chalk?
I suppose I'm happy that the fourth amendment was upheld, but from a privacy perspective I'm disheartened.

A chalked tire was ephemeral. I doubt that whatever replaces it will be.
And this post isn't about those flaws, so that's irrelevant.

No it wouldn't. Constitutionality involves the government, not companies. Your [specific] issue with companies is a civil matter. Whether what they do is criminal is an issue between them and the government (you can certainly call the police and file a complaint about the company littering/trespassing on your property though, but good luck with them doing much of anything).
Sadly they weren't fired.

Coca Cola and Pepsi don't strike me as obvious targets -- most folks can switch to buying aluminum cans (or, in some markets, glass bottles) that contain literally the same drink and definitely are a net profit to recycle.

In my opinion, the place where we need to lay blame for single-use plastic are people who eat take-out food, and people who go to a restaurant and ask for a take-home box to avoid wasting food. Wasted food that goes to compost or landfill is benign. But go to any small or medium sized business that serves food, and you will see stacks and stacks of single use plastic containers. Go to stores that market to small business owners (Costco, Smart & Final) and you'll see dozens of pallets of single-use plastic trays, plates, cups, all for the buying. The sheer scale of single-use food packaging is mind-boggling. The movement against plastic straws at fast-casual and upscale restaurants is fine, but those restaurants usually have reusable glass or metal cups, and we need a real solution for restaurants that serve "regular people".

I think there is value in questioning why we care so much about photos of us in exotic places, and how that desire has grown with the advances of digital photography, phone cameras and social networking/sharing. But this article fails to ask or comment on those questions.
Elon Musk is going to get several people killed by rushing his oversold tech to market, get the entire thing banned nationwide, and thereby indirectly cause the death of tens of thousands more from preventing the technology from coming to market when it's actually ready.

>Why not? The FPÖ (AT) is right-wing extremist.

First of all, extremism means that their politics falls outside of what society finds normal. Since you're talking about the ruling parties of multiple countries, that were democratically elected, then by definition they cannot be extremists.

>The Fidesz (HU) got suspended from the EVP for leaving the path of democracy.

They were suspended because of anti-immigration billboards that featured Juncker (a member of EPP himself):

>The decision was made partly in reaction to the outrage caused by the Hungarian government's recent anti-migration billboard campaign featuring Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, a senior member of the EPP.

Setting up rules that tell you how you must live your life is authoritarian.

There are many of these small things that add up. I wouldn't consider any of these countries to be authoritarian, but some are more than others. Germany seems to love to regulate everything.

Our new business just "failed" after 15 years (it was designed to support our family, which unexpectedly grew). But, regardless, when I checked the failure rate reported in gov stats in UK was far lower than the common wisdom held; which surprised me somewhat.

Completely agree!

One caveat though - living in big coastal cities we get decensitized to costs. 350k for a 2br isn’t really affordable. Using the rule of thumb from 60s - if median income is ~60k, the affordable home should not be more than 3x that, which is $180k.

> "All you need to do is improve the software," Musk said.

I had to double-check to make sure that April 1 had passed. At this point it's hard to take Musk's "Full Self-Driving" schtick seriously. They developed their own custom silicon, and now they "just" need to write the software that will allow it, plus the sensors on a Tesla, to be "Full Self-Driving."
They also said that when they held the very same press conference in 2016, promising coast-to-coast self-driving by the end of 2017. This is also the third time they've said that all Tesla cars have all the hardware needed for self-driving -- with three different sets of hardware now. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me three times? I have significant doubt that they mean what they say.
I agree that taking it to an extreme can be a poison, but neglecting it entirely can be a poison too.

I've said this before on HN, but my recommendation is this: Most people can find a set of things they're willing to do. If you only have one thing you think you can do with your life, first try expanding your wings and sampling a few more things.

Then, write down on one list the things you want to do with life, in some rough order of preference. On another list, write down the marketable things you think you're capable of, in some rough order of lucrativeness.

Odds are, there's going to be something that shows up reasonably positioned on both lists. "Software engineer" was certainly not my #1 on my "list of things I'd like to do", but my personal #1 was frankly absurdly unrealistic and barely shows on the "what I can make money with" list at all. (The modal outcome is quite likely $0/yr, honestly.) But software engineer was a pretty solid #2. On the other side of the list, I probably could have been a lawyer, and may well have made more money at it, but it didn't show very high on my "list of things I'd like to do". Software engineer was somewhere around #2 on both lists, so it won. I have no regrets. It was a fine choice. And it was something I could easily figure out how to angle for, and there was no simply blundering into a career.

If you do want to write something, and you want to make money at it, I recommend a similar approach. Wanting to write a romance novel and deciding to write a self-help book may not bring you joy, but wanting to write a romance novel and instead writing a YA romance novel because that's where the money is may not be such a sacrifice.
> Processes are pretty heavyweight as a way to perform this sort of isolation.

How do you figure? Processes on some OS's, such as Linux, are pretty cheap. So what are you considering heavy? And how do you imagine a "process switching in userspace" type thing to not just have the same weight as real processes? What's the expensive thing you're trying to eliminate?
Lots of people also have difficulty getting their landlord to fix maintenance problems promptly. I think this is an orthogonal issue.

There's definitely a case for "paying money to make other people handle shit instead of you." There are lots and lots and lots and lots of opportunities to do this. You can go to a restaurant instead of cooking. You can have food delivered instead of going to a restaurant! You can hire a driver, whether it's through an Uber or through paying the salary of a personal chauffeur. You can hire maids, whether directly or by staying at a hotel. But, again, I don't think this really is that closely related to renting versus buying.
Private quarters with shared kitchen and bathroom? We used to call these "rooming houses." They've been around since the industrial revolution if not longer.
