What you're describing is a failure of the government (and 'the market') to price our taxes and externalities correctly.

> So, the economically sensible thing is spend $100 to make factory B more efficient, instead of spending $10000 to undo the effect of factory A

This is where my understanding breaks down. I don't think this is true at all. I think the opposite is true - it's economically sensible to remove the pollution immediately from the first factory, not to (conditionally promise to) reduce the future output of another factory.

I don't get it. The planet is heating up and each degree we go is going to cost untold trillions. Saying it is economically sensible to try to reduce future output over not making new output at all is the part I don't get. It's just not true that you can choose to pollute more now and promise that it'll be a reduction in pollution output later and come out ahead. You will come out behind on this. The climate is changing faster than we are able to clean it up.

> So the system can work, as long as everybody's honest (or as long as there's some system that verifies that they are honest).

There is no such system. And in the US, the current Republican government is dismantling all oversight that may have existed or could exist to help this.

Another example: Exxon knew about the damages their products were doing to our health, but they lied about it for 50 years.

So I stand by my points. This idea does not work, and Cloudflare is taking positive credit for "reducing their carbon output" but I think it's just a lie. It simply cannot be true.
How do placeholders work in languages where you are forced to assign lengths to variables?
Education in MA is nothing special. We look good on paper because we have a lot of rich people to drag the various averages and medians up. The kids of all those pharma engineers, college professors and tech workers tend to do pretty well regardless of the school system you put them through.

If you compare outcomes relative to inputs (i.e. compare poor kids to poor kids and rich kids to rich kids) the range of differences between states gets a lot smaller and it's IIRC Texas and a couple other states you'd never have expected that do the best. Edit: can't find the citation but it was an article that was on HN awhile back.
Blockchains have nothing to do with proof of work or mining.

There just wouldn't be any mining.

"Blockchain" in this context just means that everyone cryptographicly signs messages in a public database.
There are a lot of assumptions with the rate of emissions in regards to transportation to the store and food waste as result of overbuying that make this study hard to believe.

Meal kits don't fully replace all your food for a week, so it is unlikely to eliminate a whole trip to the store so those emission savings that they are counting towards the meal kits are suspect. And then the waste statistics will vary heavily on the person and household characteristics. I've known people who procrastinate on making the meal kits and throw the whole thing out or let their roommates pick over whatever hasn't rotten. In addition, since some things with Blue Apron come pre-cut or picked, I wonder how the researchers measured waste at Blue Apron's kit production facilities, where some parts of the vegetables/meat aren't used in any recipe or waste from over-ordered produce.

Edit: More details are here https://news.umich.edu/those-home-delivered-meal-kits-are-gr...
Off-topic, but I'll just ask, is the book Programming Rust: Fast, Safe Systems Development 1st Edition [1] still relevant / worth reading (given the book is based on an older, although stable? version of Rust)?
If it isn't, does anyone know maybe if a 2nd, updated edition can be expected?

Never really got a chance to do serious c++ development but I am more and more interested in Rust these days. It appears Rust might be a good alternatives. My field is embedded products.
You pay so as to not abuse the privilege of using a limited resource. I think that's completely reasonable. You could argue that the other costs of car ownership are too high - that's certainly true in MA.
1. Right now, we're concentrating on just Vidalias. We continue to grow at a pace I'm happy with, so there's no need to get complicated.
2. We learned it as we went along, really. ie, "Oh crap, X happened.. what do we do?" And then we figure out what's best for the customer, and do that.
3. We listen, and empathize. I want all our customers to get the onion they're expecting. If they don't, I'll cover the cost to get them more that meet their needs.
4. The logistic changed the most, by far. Our second year, we added order tracking, and that helped a lot too. (Our first season, the customers would call me and ask where their order was, and I'd manually look it up)
5. We're profitable. I have no interest in raising money or taking direction from a VC.
6. Tech stack (if I even understand what that means).. Wordpress, Shopify
Huh, this sounds almost exactly like my experience too, down to the same year and subject! This was in Mexico, but our teacher was from the southern US, I believe. I wonder if it was a particularly popular teaching method of that year.
Can you just stick a stamp on the onion and drop it in the mail? I think there is a potato shipping business that does this
I doubt a million but someone will allow it. I think they easily have the best solution and its going to take years before car manufactures put sensors suites in cars that would allow them to gather data to even get the navigate on autopilot level.

Waymo with lidar might have a chance, but the more I see the more people who've tried lidar says the pure computational is much better than the hybrid approach. Lidar only gives depth and it very error-prone. It's easy though because it requires no data to actually do depth preception but its messy.
If you want something chewier you can make a pretty damn good pan pizza with just a... well, a pan. A cast-iron skillet, specifically. Electric heat gun or small butane torch optional but recommended to start the surface cooking while you heat the oiled-pan-with-pizza-in-it on the stovetop before putting it in the oven. Probably you'll still need to run the broiler a bit. I prefer the results from a pizza stone but the pan method's not bad, requires less special equipment (stone, peel), makes less mess (that blasted cornmeal/farina) and is harder to screw up in a way that makes an even larger mess, when you're starting out—failed peel transfers can go very wrong.
No you absolutely do need to trust the dependency code unless you're working on a toy application. If you're building something real where reliability and security actually matter then you have to either verify the dependencies yourself, or actually pay vendors to do it for you and get written contracts for support. Unfortunately many developers have fooled themselves into believing they can get something for nothing, and then act surprised when the inevitable consequences hit.
Blockchain in this context just means that everyone signs cryptographic messages, in a public database.

That's it.
The second amendment includes the word "regulated" for a reason.
My FIL in Russia built a metal box contraption he used to smoke fish in his flat/apartment. Put fish inside w/wood chips or whatever you use to smoke, then place it on the gas stove and light it up. It had a vent hole on the top and he would connect it with flex pipes to his flat's oven hood. Worked very well, kept nearly all the smell and smoke away.
What was the issue with the faulty shipping boxes?
I need to admit, I have a lot of respect for someone that can keep a project going for so long. I assume there are contributors, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a one-person lead. People who also tend to have other side projects going. I have trouble maintaining a bunch of GitHub side repo's and keeping Ubuntu installations on a bunch of VPS's up to date.
NeXTSTEP for the NeXT workstation, started in 1987 and released in 1989, used a DPS server with its own protocol without X (the DPS code was licensed from Adobe, the same code that ran in laser printers like Apple's LaserWriter).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_PostScript

In 1985, two years before DPS was started and four years before NeXTSTEP was released, James Gosling and David Rosenthal at Sun developed their own PostScript interpreter for NeWS, originally called SunDew, which was distinct from and quite different than DPS, and wasn't licensed from Adobe.

http://www.chilton-computing.org.uk/inf/literature/books/wm/...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS

Then in 1993, NeXT and Sun developed OpenStep for X-Windows/DPS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenStep

One of the biggest architectural difference between NeXTSTEP/DPS and NeWS is that NeXTSTEP didn't take advantage of the technique we now call "AJAX," by implementing the user interface toolkit itself in PostScript running in the window server, to increase interactive response and reduce network messages and round trips.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13783967

NeXTSTEP wasn't trying to solve the remote desktop problem: the toolkit implemented in Objective C code just happened to be using local networking to talk to the DPS server, but in no way was optimized for slow network connections like NeWS was (and AJAX is).

You couldn't run NeXTSTEP applications over a 9600 baud Telebit TrailBlazer modem, but NeWS was great for that. I worked on the UniPress Emacs display driver for NeWS, which was quite usable over a modem, because you do stuff like text selection feedback, switching and dragging multiple tabbed windows around, and popping up and navigating pie menus, all implemented in PostScript running locally in the window server, without any network traffic!

https://www.donhopkins.com/home/code/emacs.ps.txt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhmU2B79EDU

NeWS was architecturally similar to what is now called AJAX, except that NeWS coherently:

used PostScript code instead of JavaScript for programming.

used PostScript graphics instead of DHTML and CSS for rendering.

used PostScript data instead of XML and JSON for data representation.
Do you honestly believe crepes are the only thing sold at a crepe shop?
I disagree with the characterisation of shadow-cljs as a fad.

It's a 4 year old project at this point, and in my opinion the easiest way to get started with cljs for a newcomer. It has sane defaults, and incorporates a ton of effort to "just work", such as with regards to the effortless way that you can pair it with npm or yarn to pull in arbitrary JS libs.
Do you mean non-genetic? There may be a measure of genes, but in the aggregate these will more likely be linked to nurture (access to food, healthcare, …) than nature.
"These days I'm lucky to even see my neighbors or get a friendly "Hello" back from them."

this is why i very very reluctantly accept anything for free. Even if the person claims to "just being nice" there's an implied debt just like you state here.

I would much rather barter or pay cash up front and square the deal than breed resentment or the awkward "hey I need you to do something for me because you owe me.." conversation.
I wasn't saying it was an exploit, but just an example of how, as we give JavaScript more access to our hardware and browsers, there will be unanticipated interactions between features. Those surprises have often led to exploits in the past. All JavaScript should be considered untrusted (or malicious) code, and giving it new capabilities seems like an endless source of bugs and security problems. Those will probably be easier to exploit than timing attacks.
Thanks for posting that. I hadn't realized those existed!
It probabbly is significant that they paid him in the first place too.

Also would "fair use" in your mind apply to anyone else too? Not sure Yahoo would want to go all brand heavy on something anyone else could pick up either.
It's no different from an evil employer who forces their employees to vote and send a picture of their ballot today. Sure, taking a photo of a ballot is illegal, but that's not going to prevent it from happening when you're behind that little curtain. Coercing people to vote for your guy is illegal in both scenarios and you can and will get in trouble if you try and pull that stunt at any significant scale.
If you read the article, the 4th amendment has 2 parts. Is it a search and is it reasonable. Chalking is not reasonable because at the moment of chalking, the car is in a legal position. Placing a ticket is reasonable because at the time of placement, it is no longer in a legal position.

Otherwise no one can place parking tickets no more.
> everyone who has ever walked into any Apple store is being tracked by Apple in all Apple stores

That hasn't been confirmed yet, has it? I might have missed some extra info but the original story only mentioned they were tracking that ID because of the thefts.

> based on facial recognition

Has that been confirmed yet? I may also have missed that but again the original articles only had that as a claim from the man suing them, nothing concrete (and I believe Apple also denied it?)
I've been using it ever since it became available in Fedora, no more screen tearing out the box like X, but it does cause me issues on my ThinkPad with a Wacom Digitizer. I could probably fix it quite easily if I stop being lazy.
I've seen mention a few times that the true traditional Neapolitan pizzas made in Italy are gluten-free. Does anyone know how they make their dough?

FWIW, I was told that matrices are linear maps pretty early on in my education. Are there any college level linear algebra / matrix calculations courses that don't tell students about that?
It is pretty hard to implement a container with all the precise invariants and guarantees that the Standard requires.

But more to the point, your implementation might still not be as fast as the standard library one, because the standard library can make assumptions about the compiler that you cannot in portable code - what is UB to you might be well-defined behavior to stdlib authors. Thus, for example, they might be able to use memcpy for containers of stdlib types that they know are safe to handle in that manner.
It is for me, I find Resolve much faster to get things done. What say you?
Why not? People could say anything to each-other in private - shouldn't the authorities have a way of finding out what was said, when needed? How does the medium of communication change things?

What I liked most about this story was the fact that he went into it kind of ass-backwards - domain name first (almost by accident too), then the business.
Good thing photos can't be deleted. Oh wait.
When I lived in NYC I started inviting friends for a "walk and talk" instead of going to a bar. Going to a bar is such a generic crutch for "I want to spend some time with you". Walking around the city and catching up while on a nice amble was a refreshing change. Saved some money too.

I often marvel at the seemingly trivial events that greatly shape my life. Just thinking about my professional life, I have:

My first job out of college happened because I met and befriended one specific person in college (was there for 5 years).

My second job (and first startup) happened because I went to a 4-person dinner/game-night at a friend's (who I met at that first job) house, and talked to one of the other attendees who was interviewing at this company, and was willing to refer me (was barely there for a year and a half, but it fundamentally changed my view of work and employment).

Fast forward, and my current job (nearly 8 years now) happened because I checked an email account that I hadn't looked at in several years (and saw a recruiting email of a type I'd usually ignore), because I was trying to sign into some random account on the internet and I'd used that email address as the recovery account, many years before.

Obviously there was more to it than those single events, but each of those things were essential in opening up the opportunity in the first place.

My personal life and social circles often grew from similar simple, one-off, surprise events.
I think this doesn't quite jive with human nature. People have a naturally strong drive to build something and give to their kids. If there's no legitimate way to do that, then people will find other ways (whether illegal or just less honest means) to pass the things they've built to their children.
Oh man classic burtonator right here. Never change.
A famous anecdote along these lines are the whatsapp founders.

I haven’t done so personally yet but it’s starting to look like I might consider this route.

Several years ago, I would have leaned toward a SaaS business targeting some super niche vertical, not to make 1000x VC style rocket-ship returns of course, but as a way to bootstrap into a nice business. I get the sense most verticals with a TAM worth going after are now very competitive.

Interested to see if people see opportunities in non-tech routes.
Honestly, I don't want to build an amazon size business, so there's no tension. Too complicated. I sorta follow the same path at Paul Jarvis, and his book https://ofone.co/ . Right now, from a product standpoint, I focus on one thing, Vidalias. But I'll have to note that we also own the domain name 'Onions.com', so there's possible opportunity for growth down the road. Not right now, though.
That sounds apocryphal to me. Every pizza dough recipe I've ever seen includes wheat flour and water.
Before online ads, the industry new half of every dollar spent was wasted because the viewer was not your target audience.

I would suspect that the ratio is worse for online ads. The cat and mouse game of ad fraud is a more difficult game for the cat.

Ads may not be the best way to find engineers. I'm trying to figure out the same as your last paragraph.
Extremely unlikely. Gluten's what makes pizza dough stretchy, and holds it together. Usually you want very high gluten flours for pizza. Wikipedia confirms that the Neapolitan style calls for (ideally) 0 or 00 flour, which is to say, high gluten.

For it to be gluten free it'd have to be... IDK, corn or rice-flour or something, with some chemical mumbo-jumbo performed to make it hold together well enough to make a pizza.
It covers Rust 1.17. It is almost entirely still accurate; you’d need to set the edition back to 2015 in your Cargo.toml for some examples to work, but the foundations are still very solid. You’d have to adjust some import paths to get them to work in Rust 2018 thanks to the module system improvements. It won’t tell you about new features, but the big picture is still fully accurate, you might just need to tweak some details, and read some newer release notes to learn about some new things. It’s still a great book.
This is not an unpopular opinion. Its just not the cool opinion, so it becomes unpopular.

Thankfully NYC pizza is the world's most globally emulated.
It's the opposite that's a bigger problem, a lot of all fruit and vegetables are thrown away because they're not perfect looking.

The irony after watching that... great presentation!
If rustup is the normal way to install rust, then that is exactly what I'd want to use. My employer would mirror the needed web sites. For example, my employer mirrors much of github and ubuntu and various Microsoft things. I just follow the normal instructions to fetch things on the internet, and it all works from the mirrored web sites.
Incredible, the yodel's worth jumped from 3 to 7 figures once the artist's lawyers evened the playing field!

This story reminds me of the Nike logo one, quote Wikipedia: For her services, the company paid her $35 ($206 in 2015 dollars), citing that she worked 17.5 hours on creating the Swoosh.
Did beos and haiku use X? I think not, then how do their graphics systems work?
that's entirely a question of scale - I can imagine that it'll be trivial to scale 'online' voting fraud if you have credential access, whereas doing it in person naturally limits the total number of times you can do it.
Kenji has some other articles about baking steel that mention it's excellent ability to radiate head downward and cook the top of the pizza.

Personally, I make pizza in the oven in my home and avoid baking steel because at high temperatures the seasoning (oil) burns off.
Depends on what you mean by gay rights.

Saying "Gays should be treated the same as straights by the law" isn't necessarily violent.

Saying "You can't refuse to sell a cake to a gay person" is violent, because it implies forcing a person to sell something.
Perhaps the author meant Smithay, which, while it still depends on some C, is almost entirely Rust:

This is pretty sweet. Wish we had this in Canada! Just out of curiosity, am I missing any downsides to this? Can anyone from Los Angeles, Chicago or Milwaukee markets share their experience?
Do you actually live in MA? There's a lot wrong with what you say.

2) We don't even have to register our cars every year. And you can renew online, so you don't have to sit in the RMV at all. (I did mine a month or two ago.) When you buy a new car the dealer registers it on the spot for you.

3) MA deregulated the the insurance policies a long time ago. Like 10 or more years ago? I can't even remember it was long enough ago. I live in MA and my insurer is.. wait for it. Geico.

4) About the only toll road in the state is the Pike. We have a few bridge tolls. Realistically a bunch of the surrounding states around us have far more tolls. NH has tons of them on roads that many people have to regularly travel. NY has the Thruway. Maine has tolls on the main highways. VT is about the only one around that has less tolls than MA. Anyone complaining about driving in Cambridge is just "doing it wrong". It's super dense and the city is just not set up to support a car-centric lifestyle and they don't want your car there at all.

5) Excise tax reduces to almost nothing unless you constantly flip your car. And that's the town not the state collecting it.

There is a lot of entitlement to think you deserve to park your private car wherever you like.
Are you serious? There are plenty of things people do for their kids they wouldn't do for a random stranger on HN.
sorry, can't give too many details on the specific, but the PXE booting spec requires that you start up a:

- DHCP server that responds to broadcasts on 0.0.0.0

- TFTP server that responds to requests for the bootstrap image

- HTTP server (for most linux distros, anyways) that fetches more boot resources that are big enough that TFTP is probably not the best protocol (UDP doesn't have packet transmission guarantees).

I use a dead-simple, transient erlang HTTP server that my buddy wrote: https://github.com/StoneCypher/htstub

And hand-rolled custom DHCP and TFTP servers (existing options are not exactly what I need) that basically operate like htstub.

This is all tied into a mix task, so you start the mix task, then walk over to your target machine (or IPMI), reboot it, and then it's provisioned from scratch, reproducibly, with two-touches. Since everything is done in a single language, if something is wrong in your provisioning scheme, it's really easy to figure out what went wrong and deploy a fix.
That is encouraging. What distro are your swaywm and Firefox running on?
"A chalked tire was ephemeral. I doubt that whatever replaces it will be."

I suspect you are right and share your foreboding...

However, a very easy solution would be to just mark the asphalt around the tires ... maybe write "blue chevy" between the marks.

So easy.

Instead, a politically connected services firm will capture local mayors / council members (very, very cheaply - shockingly cheaply) and build it into their unnecessary speed/redlight camera systems.
