It's a shame that neither party is interested in fixing this issue. These problems have been known for many years, but regardless of who's in power in the Congress, nothing gets done about it.
In the US we may have spoken but the situation has also changed, so perhaps it is time to speak again? The market may not have realized the implications and externalities of switching to plastic for say all beverages.

I for one would welcome a switch back to reusable soda and beer bottles that were collected. (see Oregon bottle deposits)
Can you elaborate on what tidyverse offers you that the python ecosystem doesn't? 'Nothing comes close' is a couple degrees too strong a statement from my experience with R, but maybe you know something I don't.
Well, I doubt there are fundamental differences, but a lawyer might disagree. I believe any form of law system needs to reflect our intuitive fairness or it will fail at some point. It is of course imperfect, like any crafted law, but fundamental for the acceptance of the judiciary. If the law is applied with help of precedents or text doesn't matter that much in the end.

But besides the point, requiring every citizen to be able to ID himself with biometric data is the bug, not a solution to anything.

Something national socialists knew very well. Although technologically restricted, there are unmissable parallels to legislation like this. This is legislation crafted from fear and opportunism. Not a single problem will be solved.
Perhaps we are missing a more complete picture of this individual. The sort of person who graduates school and resolves to take whatever job lands on his doorstep often has zero ambition, drive, or work ethic. However as we know he is successful with his crepe shop, he must in fact have some of those traits.

Saying what your future goals are, while clearly and repeatedly reminding people of your past history of being late on those goals, is the opposite of fraud.
Some combination of: HDMI consortium is backed by numerous large TV manufacturers and movie studios, DVI lacks audio support, HDMI already had a lot of traction by the time DP was released, DP initially lacked HDCP support, HDMI supports much longer cables than either DVI or DP.
Every time Amazon threads pop up, there are always complaints about delivery.

Maybe it's because I live in the greater Seattle area, but in my 10+ years of having Prime, I can only count a handful of times where my shipment arrived late, and I've always been refunded a month of prime from CS.

that's victim blaming.

chip consumers missing a communication is very different from intel actively developing this to cut corners for raw performance (which is the only reason they cornered the market) and forcing all other manufacturers to follow up or die.
Perhaps this is the "exception that proves the rule"? That situation was unusual enough that one of the Firebase founders reached out and gave them a bunch of credits and helped them work through the issue.

There's certainly a continuum here. The most minimal risk mitigation strategy is simply to use your own domain (as opposed to the vendor's domain), and that requires nearly zero effort. Unfortunately the team in that article made that mistake, and they're pretty honest about admitting it.

Assuming you don't make rookie mistakes at the beginning, you always can move to another platform - it's just a question of how much work it will take. Is it better to put that work in up front for the 0.01% chance you'll need it? I think not.
The assumption that meal kits cause less food waste is dubious. This is exactly why we stopped getting Blue Apron - we found that we only ate 1 out of 3 kits we got, and our fridge would pile up with unused raw ingredients we would hope to be able to use before they spoiled. In the end we decided the combination of trash and food waste was too much and went back to groceries full time.
WSJ referred to this article with this summary: "The world’s best-known antibacterial brands are now pouring millions into probacterial startups." (from the WSJ daily digest email)
So, only slightly related to this article, but I’ll say it anyway:

I’ve bought domains for years. Through that process, I’ve developed a specific routine to evaluate a name prior to purchasing.

I’ve been sketching out a plan to build a web app that largely automates this evaluation process, that I would hope to release as a small side project SaaS in the future.

Anyone here interested in such a thing?

Ask HN: What are your tips to reduce drinking alcohol?
I don't want to go teetotal, I enjoy a drink and drinking socially, at dinners, weekends etc. But there are times I drink too much and forget what happened the night before or get anxious that I did something or said something. I only ever drink on a weekend and not throughout the week.

Justin Kan just announced he's giving up drinking alcohol: https://twitter.com/justinkan/status/1120188473263050758 and I admire people who do this. But I always see info/tips on giving up completely, what about just keeping a lid on it?
Again, though, my point is that the NYT didn't just sell advertising based on content type. That wouldn't be new. "Project Feels" was an ML initiative to study how readers felt after reacting to stories, and create an ad-targeting tool based on that. It's very specifically about offering advertisers the chance to choose stories based on predicted reader demographics, behaviors, and emotional response, instead of simply targeting stories by category or topic.

To decide whether to air your commercial alongside a drama or a comedy, all you need to do is watch the show (and perhaps collect viewer demographics). To decide which section of the print NYT to advertise in, all you need to do is read it. But Project Feels was only possible by studying the behaviors and emotional responses of readers. It didn't try to alter those emotions in specific ways, so it's not equivalent to Facebook's project, but it's also not the same as content-based targeting.
Distributed control is still useful. It makes it incredibly expensive to try and tamper with the results.
> But perhaps some percentage of people would choose to waive their right to privacy, further strengthening trust in the system.

This has the same problem. Didn't waive your right to privacy and provably vote for the right candidate - you're fired (or worse). That's why taking photos of a ballot isn't allowed, you can't have any way to show who you voted for.

I've always felt that "In Praise of Idleness" would be the basis of the fictional post-scarcity economy of Star Trek (and it's likely that this essay influenced the screenwriters).

IMHO the first step to build an economic system where people work in a project because they want to, and not because they need to, is to defuse the protestant ethics that measure the worth of people based on how much they earn.

Russell's ideas could underline a new ethics that optimized the economy around what people likes to do the most, in special if the most unpleasant jobs can be automated away by robots.
I'd probably not want the results to be put into a central database, but I think this testing may a be a good idea in general if the only person that knows is the test taker.

A lot of people have no idea what to do as a career, so both an IQ and a Big Five test may allow people to know more about themselves. I know Myers-Briggs is unscientific, but something like it could also help in determining good career paths.

Have one test towards the end of elementary school and another at the end of secondary. (People can of course take them more often if they wish.)
A 51% attack would look like one source submitting a blockchain that's different from everyone else's, and effectively saying "my chain is longer so use it instead". Very noticeable, even if it might end up needing to be sorted out by courts instead of computers.
then what's the point? can you list a single use case that would make sense with this idea?
If it’s even possible to waive anonymity, people will try to entice or coerce others to vote in a certain way, and require they prove it. That’s why taking a picture of your ballot is illegal in the US.

This isn’t just a theoretical concern - there are various real-life allegations of it happening, in Southeastern Europe and other places.

That's why it's a fundamental thing: it takes time, effort, and money. Things that take neither time nor effort vanish as trivialities, even if there's an interesting story in how they got reduced to that point.
Amen. S-expressions allow you to navigate the code through your editor, and everything is consistent. Semicolons, commas, and curly braces are major cognitive overhead.
(I will always pronounce Yahoo yay-hoo, and nobody can stop me. yay-hoo.com — it's my own little strike against the beast.)
I still don't buy that blockchain is better than any of the other solutions that we've come up with for this problem, since (like with, for example, byzantine consensus) 50%+1 of actors being misbehaved breaks any security guarantee.
One tiny issue with leisure in general is unpredictability. An uncontrolled mind can wander anywhere and come back (may not come back at all) in whatever state, not necessarily charged and refreshed.

I wonder if there's anything like disciplined leisure, where you concentrate on one thing intensively for a while, and you intentionally force yourself to let go of those thoughts, divert your attention to something else and let sub-consciousness deal with the topic. But the point is to come back to the same thing at the end with new ideas and a refreshed mind.

Am I too naive?

The issue is in "practically", using it console with a kernel has some limitations, in particular stdin/out are not tty as far as the kernel is concerned; which leads to some things that jupyter_console can't do (e.g. running !vim), while IPython can. Jupyter_console is also way more buggy that plain IPython.

Chip manufacturers have known about JavaScript and it's implementations for decades.

ARM for instance had gone so far as to make JS specific instructions (FJCVTZS, Floating-point Javascript Convert to Signed fixed-point, rounding toward Zero), and before that they had instructions to help a JIT (ThumbEE).

Not sure why we're buying the chip companies' shtick of "oh, poor us, we never knew people would use our chips like that, we just specifically optimized for it and provided support instructions"

51% attacks only exist if the clients can fork. if your chain is not forkable (i.e you already know the size for an election thanks to census and voter records) there is no need for it as there is no need for miners even.

Personally I find it is the responsiveness that is the real benefit with a good professor - they can respond and go off into areas a power point slide would not be prepared for. Ultimately the worth of a tool is in how it is used.
This is the bible: http://howtobrew.com/ Its the 1st edition of the most popular book to learn brewing by far. Mead is just a slight offshoot from beer, you just replace some grain with honey.

Not really a co-op. Unless I misunderstood something, he contacted a single farm and is basically acting as their digital marketing side. They got so good at this that the other farms in the area decided to stop competing on this front(DTC online sales) and focus on other segments of their business. That's what I assumed he meant when he said "other farms started sending people our way".

I believe M&T is a single farm/growing operation.

Yeah, this phenomenon definitely exists. Probably just the unfamiliar syntax, — somehow enough to make people see Erlang as “complicated”. While in reality Erlang is one of the most simple and consistent languages out there.
“Data pipelines die quietly” is a more appropriate name for the article based on the example. And its true, all data pipelines need counters monitored continuously. A simple <number of records that didnt parse> metric on grafana would prevent this error.
Sometimes even execution is worthless. It doesn't sound like this guy is making a ton of money and he says he's doing it for fun, not because it's profitable. Though I'm sure it turns a profit in general.

That can be done with power point slides as well technically but seldom is - both in use and being used when it is suitable.

He'd "improve" and enforce whatever regulations are in effect. Where have we seen that before? Oh yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders

I am afraid it'd a waste of time to try to explain.
This is not about "expressive freedom" vs "constraints". Rust lacks many of C++'s key core language facilities to capture semantics in a library. As a consequence, you cannot write powerful libraries in Rust that you can in C++, and you cannot use powerful libraries such as are written in C++.

Since you cannot use these powerful libraries, you are (if you like) "constrained" to write fragile code at what would have been the call site.

Each use of a powerful library eliminates all the bugs that would have come from not using one. Those are bugs that Rust designers have elected to keep, in exchange for the memory-use bugs that we largely eliminate, in C++ code, by reliance on powerful libraries.

Powerful libraries eliminate many, many more bugs besides memory misuse.
Although I love working with Clojure more than any other language it's relationship with its host is somewhat schizophrenic. Calling Java classes from carefully-crafted functional code is like pouring tomato ketchup over a lemon sorbet. Thankfully there are about 23,000 pure Clojure libraries at clojars.org to help my Clojure code stay functional.

It's surprising to me that we aren't heavily subsidizing the development of high density apartments. Developers are building luxury housing because low and middle income is not economically viable -- the cost of building materials and labor is rising, so why not use tax breaks and permit deregulation to spur more growth?

I was surprised that the 2017 tax cut didn't seem to have any mechanisms to address the lack of middle class housing. I'm not sure if "opportunity zones" is sufficient.

People used to look at me like I was crazy when I told them that React is nice, but you can actually write faster code with alternative methodologies. It seems like other engineers are coming around to this and creating these faster alternatives.

React made writing frontends generally better, but often slower and as rich_harris points out that it entails a lot of developer work to build and use optimizations to speed it up.

Meh, the concern of the integrity of the election itself is a thousand or a million times more pressing than the concern about somebody trying to coerce somebody.

Plus such coercion isn't impossible now, like you said it can be done with a camera. Presumably if you're being coerced by threat the "illegal" doesn't really help you at all.

It seems obscene to me to pass up such an obvious improvement like a verifiable record over such a theoretical concern.
Working a project on a blackboard also encourages people to get the order right. It's surprisingly common to see Powerpoints which skip or reorder steps completely because the slide creator shuffled things around or worked backwards from the answer.

I'm sure most people have seen professors skip numerous steps on blackboards, too, but in my experience there's at least a heightened awareness of what it looks like to actually work through the problem.
I don't want to spend too much time talking about it as I'd rather show it. I can say that we designed to focus on quality rather than getting drunk off the of the crowd as practically all other social apps do.

I suppose this is where I realise I don't actually understand the underlying issue. If it is a software issue, why is there so much blame directed to the hardware vendors?

You're not wrong, but presumably he now also has a police record. A lot of employers are doing background checks, so it may come back to haunt him.

It's a very weird attitude commonly seen among the segment of the population who never travels in the mountains or backcountry. Schadenfreude and twisting the actions of climbers to make it seem as though their judgment were obviously flawed. A lot of dumb, ignorant stuff does indeed take place in the mountains, and that sometimes results in death, but some incredibly experienced & competent people die too and are tarred with the same brush. See the tragic deaths last week of David Lama et al. which was greeted by many a news article comment decrying "adrenaline junkies" and how foolish they were to climb during the month of April due to avalanche risk (the commenters apparently ignorant of the entire field of snow science). This is turning into a rant, but to sum it up I really just wish people would extend basic benefit of the doubt to people who die or are injured in the great outdoors before taking the opportunity to pop off and turn their deaths into some kind of joke or morality tale.
Or like the startup team page where they have, say, Vidalia (an onion, in a cool red-and-white gown of sheaths) instead of the obligatory human-named dog :)

One very interesting refrigeration cycle I heard about recently is using a proton exchange fuel cell in reverse as a compressor for hydrocarbons or ammonia in a closed loop.

Speaking as someone who leans towards social activism, this is an important conversation to have.

I believe society needs guardrails of all kinds. I don't believe, for example, that it should be legal for you and a few friends to drive onto the expressway in the morning and park your cars, blocking all traffic.

But what if you want to protest something? Sometimes, the state hems you in, such that there is no legal way to effect change.

For example, requiring a parade permit to march, and then denying it to some parties while granting it to others. That is easy, you just declare that parade permits shall not be granted for illegal purposes, and now nobody can march for marijuana legalization, or a woman's right to choose what happens to her own body.

I don't think there is a neat way to set up laws so that everything always "just works." At some point, activism is going to require defiance. That's what happened with the Tea Party. But I don't think allowing people to dump goods in the harbour at will would make democracy better.
