They made a billion dollars in revenue in 2017 and about $520M in 2018, in the midst of a massive bear market. For a company whose primary product is software and doesn't need to worry about cost-of-goods-sold the way that sharing economy companies do. Supposedly they made $450M in profit. They're doing way better than Uber and Lyft are, which continue to lose money even after going public.
In bigger projectd and groups people need structure. If you're goal is provide success and structure for the people involved you can't let other people's lack of structure hurt everyone else.

I think this is just media spin. If you interact with VA much I think you find its staffed by a lot of vets and they try hard to do their best. There are problems of funding and staffing and more, esp in poorer areas, and I have heard some bad stories, but it hasn't been my experience.

If you're speaking from personal experience I'm interested what happened.
There's one big issue inhibiting any sort of productive change on this issue.

"A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2030. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP. He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

...

The most conservative scientific estimate that the Earth’s temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, said Brown."

All of that is accurately quoted with one exception. That article was published in 1989, the 'point of no return' was 2000, not 2030. And incidentally this year makes 30 years since that article was published. In spite of the "the most conservative estimate" showing an expected temperature rise of 1 to 7 degrees in these 30 years, we've seen the temperature increase by 0.62 degrees since 1989. [2] And global CO2 emissions have spiked far higher and faster than anybody could have imagined due in large part to China's ultra-rapid industrialization.

Imagine you could go back in time 30 years ago armed with all the knowledge of today, and had the power to do whatever you could to try to enact action on climate change. What would you do? I think the most logical thing to do would be to put out pinpoint accurate predictions. When you do this you'd establish a substantial degree of reliability in the field. And then when the predictions start looking increasingly dire, you'd have decades of accuracy to justify action.

And I think we can start this today. We need to focus on accuracy above any and everything else. When you want to enact global change you first need to establish yourself as a reliable authority. Then what we can do is look back and emphasize how accurate our predictions have been. But without reliability, we cannot expect predictions to actually drive any change that would be in any way inconvenient.

A couple of issues with your numbers. 1) you are basing yourself on average grid prices in the US and the local cost of petrol. You should instead be looking at dedicated clean energy installations that you'd be using 100% for fuel production in places where that are optimal/ideal to do so. 2) those petrol costs exclude taxation that would apply in e.g. the EU. Current prices in e.g. Germany for a liter of petrol are around 1.20 euros. Much more in e.g. the Netherlands, which taxes much more aggressively. Bottom line is that petrol is really expensive already in a lot of places and not likely to get cheaper when people are getting worried about global warming.

So, petrol is a lot more expensive in a lot of places and clean energy is a lot less expensive in a lot of places. I'd say, we have about a 3-6x margin of error here. And that's just at the current rates.

Luckily, clean energy cost is dropping rapidly and projected to continue to do so for quite some time. The EIA's estimates appear to be averages for the US in the context of grid electricity. There are already places in the world where those prices are far lower (i.e. by magnitudes) and projected to drop even further.

Solar grid prices in places like e.g. Dubai, would be something like 0.024$/kwh. That number might already be obsolete. So, well below what you seem to consider the break even point. Even at 30% efficiency (as opposed to your 100%) this is starting to look pretty feasible. The Prometheus founder seems to be suggesting 60% is the efficiency rate elsewhere in this thread.

Boom economically viable right now in Dubai. A region well known for its dependence on crude oil exports. How cheap would this have to get for them to not bother pumping oil out of the ground anymore at all? Incidentally, they are already using solar to power those pumps (burning oil/gas to do the same is already uneconomical). They could be producing petrol with that energy directly instead. You have to wonder at what point that starts making more sense and what that would do the global oil/gas markets. I think it's more a question of volumes/scale than cost.

So, this is not "an incredible engineering challenge" but a simple matter of how soon the cost lines cross and economies of scale. Depending on your point of view, this may already be cheap enough right now. The point is kind of moot because by the time production is ramped up to the point where this has meaningful impact, energy cost per kwh will have come down much further whereas crude oil and associated taxes are not anywhere near as likely to go down or even stay the same. I'm guessing ramping this up will take quite a bit of time (2-3 decades?). In the process, economies of scale, will impact the pricing some more.
Yeah, it's definitely not ARIN.

Perhaps tracking via frequent flyer signins? That would do a good job of getting business users.
I realise my comment wasn't very clear. The way the article recommends to stimulate the resolution pathways does imply the possibility of such drugs in the future, but primarily they explain that consuming chicken, beef, eggs, fish, and fish oil or algae (for omega-3 EDA and DHA) will promote the synthesis of these substances in one's body.

Overall they are definitely not promoting the use of drugs over lifestyle improvements. They talk about lifestyle improvements throughout the article and this was my primary takeaway: exercise regularly; don't overeat; eat those things mentioned above.

The missing await is a a very common fault indeed, they should have used another keyword like 'not_await' for that scenario to make the decision explicit. Pycharm at least will warn you if you call an awaitable without 'await' and without assigning it to a variable. If you assign it to a variable and pass it into another function that doesn't expect an awaitable, it's up to you to have added sufficient type annotations and run your code through some static checker like mypy. Running python at scale without mypy is kindof doomed to failed to begin with.

The early astronauts made all kinds of extra on the side. Sponsored cars, magazine exclusives and various similar shenanigans. I didn't understand then (which I'm old enought to remember), and I do not understand now why the stamp incident was singled out and hammered so severely.

There's nothing good about being overweight.

However, being fat doesn't mean you're stupid or lazy. There's a skinny person inside every fatass. I lost the weight and I am not any more qualified to do any job than anyone else, but I know for sure job interviews would go a lot better. People automatically like a beautiful skinny person more than a fat person, and that's a huge bias to overcome.
> in the US the police have no formal duty to protect you

This is one reason why, at least in the US, you should never talk to the police if you're suspected of a crime -- even if you're innocent and it seems that your innocence will be blindingly obvious to them[0]. Anything you say can and will be used against you, and by the rules of evidence, nothing you say to the police can be used for you in court. (Tell them you have a lawyer friend who will never let you live it down if you say anything without speaking to your attorney first.)

Google+ nailed this perfectly. You could place connections into Circles, and a post could be shared to specific circle(s). It let teenagers be teenagers, allowed professionals to separate their personal life and maintain a professional appearance, and so on.

In reality we do maintain separate personas for different groups of people we know, and it's ridiculous that no social network reflects this. The closest anyone else has come to this is Reddit where you can use multiple pseudonyms, so someone recognizing your posts/comments on one account does not get access to all of your posts/comments.

Do allow me to exemplify how simple research can back up some of my uncontroversial observations.

“Estrous Control and Synchrony in Cattle
Exogenous hormones can mimic the hormones of the natural estrous cycle in cattle. By administering exogenous hormones, producers can control and synchronize estrus in breeding heifers and cows as well as shorten their estrous cycles. Producers can group animals according to the phase of their estrous cycle, which reduces management burdens. Some estrous synchrony regimens may also induce or advance estrus in animals that aren’t cycling (they’re anestrous). For example, a cow is normally anestrous after giving birth, and an estrous synchrony regimen may be used to advance her first heat after calving. This allows her to be bred again sooner. These drug regimens may also be used to advance the timing of the first heat in heifers at puberty.”
these kindsa shows glamorizing the effects are ignoring one crucial fact - when the person affected dies, it becomes 10 times easier for everyone to ignore/avoid the issues that led to her death. sure some people may reform/chase the issues but those are statistical outliers.

They know what to do. But they are selectively "dumb." Do you think a doctor who runs a clinic and their employees, accountants, medical procedure coders, and insurance claims people don't know a thing or two about costs? How do they stay in business?

But if they told you some four-digit number you'd bolt.

We like to hold medical professionals in high esteem, but these days it's also a business transaction. They know this. As such they are very much a part of this very large problem.

You can't just make a statement like that without adding colourful anecdotes about your time there!

I'm especially interested because I had an offer from Citrix that I eventually turned down.

I don’t necessarily want to standardize care, I want to standardize pricing. Of course there will always be minute variations in a procedure, but the law is not an algorithm.

You can have different levels of materials with different prices, but two people still need to see the same price if they choose the same thing, or substantially the same thing.

Of course some people will game the system trying to make infinite variations, but at least that one apply to common blood tests and office visits, MRIs, X-rays, plenty of stuff is standardized.

So what you are describing sounds a step beyond what I am thinking, which is just a standard published price list which is actually the price, and not a published book price which is an absurd ripoff, and then a secret price which everyone with insurance x, y, or z pays.

Revolutions have worked in the past. Even non-violent ones. But those are rare.
When I was younger I wanted to move in to management type roles. However I have never had (or made?) the opportunity so I feel like these are outside of my short to medium term goals. Moving to a company that offers advancement would be an ideal, but in the meantime I feel like I need to make myself a compelling candidate.

I totally understand around difference between pm/dev work though - in a perfect world I want dev work, however I am willing to accept it's not a possibility for me at my age whilst maintaining my current income.

I don't have a technical network for job opportunities (due to non technical teams) and job ads/recruiters seem to filter on technical proficiency.

Another commenter said I should double down on basics and meet end user needs - that's precisely what I do. I get things done, but can I demonstrate technical knowledge or professional experience with language x? Can I define what a singleton is? I'm not so sure.
> I _have_ to wonder why we didn't just pick up Bazel, which is Google's open-source distributed build engine for large systems, which also happens to have been stable for years. Perhaps its Windows support wasn't up to snuff at the time, but it feels like that would have been easier to fix that than to build a whole new build system.

Bazel was first announced and made open-source in early 2015, but by that time Domino had already been in development for at least a year. I remember following the early internal discussions at Microsoft on the One Engineering System or "Apex" initiative which first provided the impetus for what became Domino; some of those discussions were quite animated :P

Also, while I don't know BuildXL and Bazel well enough to compare their goals and relative strengths, I will say that BuildXL was developed at Microsoft, which has historically had a great diversity of build toolchains and workflows across all its software products. Just on the toolchain side, Microsoft has many different build engines/make tools, unit test frameworks, tools and conventions to register an automated test to run on a certain schedule (for products too big to run every test on each and every build), build and test server farms, continuous integration tools to orchestrate those server farms, tools to email people and/or file bugs on test failures, and so on...

From my limited understanding, Google has never been this way at all, and so some of the lessons and ideas incorporated into BuildXL may seem strange to Bazel's designers.

You appear to be saying that non-mental event A temporally precedes mental event B, therefore the non-mental must be the cause of the mental, rather than the mental being the cause of the non-mental.

However, "you perturb the system via disease or chemicals" is not non-mental. There is a mental act of will to do perform such a perturbation, and a mental awareness of such perturbation being performed.
Not really that surprising.

I think most Mercedes and modern Porsche are topside oil filters, probably others now. My wife's CR-V has a backside filter but that can reached from the right side without jacking the car by turning the wheels full left lock.

One tip: To aid removal next time, use Dow DC-4 silicone grease on the filter gasket (rather than motor oil or nothing) and the oil filter gasket just needs a little crush; lots of people over-tighten filters, making them needlessly hard to remove. Contact plus a half turn will put about 1/32" of crush on the gasket which is enough to seal.
