My wife is vegetarian, so by extension I end up being very conscious of vegetarian options. It's generally pretty easy to find good for her, but I am pretty surprised how limited the options can be. I feel like it's a coin flip with newer restaurants - they either have a pretty wide selection, or like you mentioned, they go really heavy on the meat and offer few or no vegetarian options.

They all mean the same thing. Programmers were taught that the first one is best. Because it is accurate and concise. What you call coherence introduces the risk of misunderstanding.
Biggest takeaway to me is that the candidate didn't do as asked because they thought they knew better. When someone asks you to do 3-5 hours of work, do that.

If it's obvious you spent DAYS on this, what does that tell me as the interviewer/recruiter? I have no idea if this person can follow instructions and I have no idea what this person can do in 3-5 hours.

How do you know he is using the term correctly? Seeing burqas regularly in Western Europe would be so extraordinary a thing, that assuming that he is using the term incorrectly is kinder than the other conclusion that could be drawn about his claim. From the downvoting of his posts, others too notice something is off.

The only way to be truly fair with admissions is to admit blind of any defacto discriminatory identity/categorization method and based entirely on competency and scores. I realize that is unpopular for a variety of reasons, but are elite academic institutions meant to be elite academic institutions, or are they social engineering laboratories?
Maybe something to do with diagnosis means more money selling Pharma drugs? Or is that too cynical?
Shows on your transcript. Presumably would be counted as a great school.
This discussion is in the context of relying upon an automated driving system. Depth perception is a key requirement of a self driving car. When these conversations mention lidar, the implication its s information is fused with oper sensors to produce a coherent mapping of the environment.

The technical limitation of every Tesla vehichle thus far is their inability to reliably understand the proper depth of objects.

People have died as a result of their design flaws. That is the ultimate cost in making an automated car.
Me too, since keto wisdom is that highly processed oils (e.g. seed and "vegetable" oils) should be eliminated, presumably from some hormonal impact, but I've never seen any research on that. It's not hard to avoid canola oil usually, so I don't think much of it.

What Is Product Leadership?
The pattern seems to be :

* Get a new job at game studio
* Start off OK-ish, then get pushed to crunch more and more as release date nears and then slips (probably by design)
* Release game
* lay off most staff
* They're broke for a while but the time without work is nice
* Repeat

I can't find a source but I understand the average length of a career in the industry is 5-6 years. Also, I couldn't help but notice at my last place that those of us doing more general work (python, data engineering, etc.) were a hell of a lot more relaxed than those with video-game-specific skillsets (Unity3d).
The issue is that failures are catastrophic, and not under your control. And while systems and protocols can be perfectly designed, human administration is the weak link.
There's too much sensation on this headline. The hacker does not take control of the aircraft, simply gives misleading information to the pilot.

"Hacking" is a bit of a heavy handed word here, too.
The final part of the article mentions this "What is particularly neat is that WireGuard on iOS supports Always-on."

I can only agree. I have WG installed on my iPhone, iPad and use the WG service provided by Mullvad VPN. And it is on all the time since a few months back. I don't experience any connectivity issues, lack of performance or degradation in battery/power consumption. It really just works. Huge thanks to Jason for developing WG as protocol, server implementation and clients.

It can't completely ignore filesystem permissions even if you're not tracking them. It's obvious Dropbox isn't the right fit for a lot of people's needs here anymore--and I agree that sucks.

I can't speak to Dropbox since I don't use it for much, but even if a filesystem has those features it's not always a good idea because of a support, q/a, performance reasons, or future features. I was just trying to give my own abridged version of "mistakes programmers make about X"
When the economy and population were properly booming, pretty much everyone had a decent change of getting promoted and building a strong career. If your office had 10 people today and 100 in a decade, odds are good that every one of the original ten made it into manager.

We still build career expectations around this model, but it's mostly not true anymore. If you start in the mail room today, you'll retire from the mail room. Actually, you won't even retire, because mail handling is going to get outsourced.
Yes. My point was that these systems are complex, we do not understand them, and even after accidents we learn little, except that they were caused by poorly understood interactions between system components. I also used to say that "nuclear power is safe and well understood by now", but I recently became much more restrained in my statements.
The court determined the "stock" was not a security. Calling something "stock" creates a rebuttable presumption that it's a security but the purchasers of the co-op "stock" didn't have any possible expectation of profit (the "stock" couldn't appreciate in value, would not pay dividends, was non-transferable, etc.) so it failed the Howey test. Merely calling something stock does not make it so.

You might find SEC v Lauer[1] interesting. Where a non-existent hypothetical investment was determined to be a security. As well as SEC v Edwards[2], where a fixed-rate leaseback agreement for payphones was determined to be a security.

Sure, competition is good. But it doesn't mean it should come with lock-in problems. MS learned not to mess things up on the Web (remember ActiveX and Silverlight?). But when it comes to gaming, they are still as nasty as in the '90s. And Sony is even worse in this regard.

I agree about Stadia in general. I wouldn't want it to become too dominant, especially since it's like DRM on steroids - you can't back up anything from there. In general, I don't think regular gaming stores that sell rather than rent games are going anywhere. I.e. GOG, Steam and others are going to stay around. As long as Stadia won't be pushing exclusives, things will be good, since some will always prefer to run games locally.
That may be interesting, but the fact that airliners could be fooled or even crashed by interfering with the radio signals they rely on is no more a security concern that the fact that airliners can be shoot down with missiles.
Yes it will be. There are many many more externalities to using cars as primary transit than their CO2 output. Noise, land use, inefficient use of energy in terms of kWh/personmile, microplastic from tires, accidents,...

Hey, maybe you're right! Maybe we should stop using cars! Maybe you've convinced a couple of people to do that right now! Now convince 100 million US voters! Politics is the 'art of the possible'. That's what we're discussing!

There’s such things as mass transit that’s actually quite ok at solving that problem

But none of our cities in North America have been built with that in mind. Convince 100 million US voters to move to transit-serviceable neighborhoods.

Now, if you mean “we cannot all live in suburbs and everyone gets a house and a little garden.”, yes, that’s already true

With nuclear, you can continue doing this. Convince 100 million US voters to move out of the suburbs in the next 20 years. Maybe they will?

Heating a house is the least of our issues. Heat is something that we can store fairly easily: Take a large, well insulated tank in your basement, fill it with water (or a better suited liquid, but water will actually do). Heat it up during the day, either using solar panels or electricity driving a heat pump, use it during the night. Works with coolant, too. Insulation is a fairly well understood problem and in such a setting, losses are fairly low.

This is difficult in northern climates, with short days and shallow noontime sun. Or are we asking people to stop living north of some particular latitude? That's a tough sell too!

And its not just the US - politics is reflexive. As soon as your "impose a heavy carbon tax to make oil and gas prohibitively expensive and to encourage the deployment of solar storage" bill gets passed, you can forget about winning the next election - people will vote a guy in who repeals it as soon as it hits their pocketbook and their standard of living drops. Politics is the art of the possible. I don't see how you're going to convince people to vote for this.

I tried quite a bit of searching for it under the keywords you mentioned but nothing came up.
You can do online test prep for free.
Your suggestion relies on the assumption that there is some way to change standardized tests such that they do not correlate with wealth. Perhaps the problem is that academic ability is directly correlated to the kind of test prep you receive, so unless you set a test paper full of trivia questions the student that has gone through test prep will perform better every time.

I do not agree with this idea either, but only in that the adversity score will be opaque to students, so there is no recourse if it does a poor job of addressing the current issues with college admissions.
Presumably this tracks economic and social status closely, and perhaps the meeting (or not) of traditional American life goals; marriage, kids, house, safety, economic security, etc

In that case, an increase would not be surprising. Many people are simply falling through the cracks, or are a decade or two behind where prior generations were by the same age.
Processed food is not really food.

It’s just designed to be really, really cheap to make (so usually bad quality ingredients + sugar), sell for a premium based on marketing (often bullshit health claims like added vitamins c or just nice cartoons), sit on a shelf for ages without going rotten (lots of preservatives, or more sugar and definitely no fibre to help level out that sugar spike) and be very morish (more added sugar / caffeine / salt).

It’s a product designed by a big corporation to make them as much money as possible. At no point is anyone thinking about making food.

It’s hardly a surprise that it’s non-functional as actual nutrition, and equally unsurprising it’s going to make you ill.

But some of it does taste pretty good.

As a huge renewable energy fan, I need to point out that your viewpoint is factually incorrect.

For example: I built a very low carbon home a year ago, with giant solar panels sized to charge two electric cars, and to heat the house with heat pumps.

I live in the Northeast US, where it gets cold in the winter. The reason why it gets cold in the winter is because the days are very short.

Because the days are shorter in the winter, the solar panels do not generate enough electricity to heat the house, so I end up using a lot of grid electricity in December and January.

And, what really stinks is that April was unusually cloudy this year. So, when I should have generated excess, I ended up pulling from the grid.

In contrast, I have a lot of excess power in the summer when the days are long. (Air conditioning doesn't use as much electricity as heating.)

Now, comes the facts:

We don't have technology that can store the energy that I generate in the summer for use in the winter. Batteries are great for short term storage: Charge at noon when the panels generate the most power, discharge at night.

Even worse, my very expensive Powerwall can't run my heat pump, nor could it hold enough charge to heat my home overnight. Even if I doubled my panels and had a few more Powerwalls, I'd need to pull from the grid in some of the rather bad cold snaps we had this winter.

This is why people say that Nuclear can solve the problem now. Renewables are a great long-term solution, but we still need a lot of R&D to solve the problem of storing energy in the summer for use in the winter. In contrast, the nuclear power plant 15 miles from my home can run my heat pump in the dead of winter, without requiring any new storage technology.
Look at the videos of the two seater prototype. It has executed a lot more complicated maneuvers. They have some tweaking to do on their bigger model, that is all.

Why? Censorship is quite a different issue from anti-trust. Censorship in the USA applies to the government, not to individuals (real humans or corporations), basically because the idea is that nobody wants to pay for someone else's sub-moronic "free speach".

Anti-trust, in the USA, is related to harmful effects to consumers. Monopolies can charge monopoly rents, or slow innovations or change in the monopolized market.

Absolutely two different issues.

Also, lots of folks pretended there were actual alternatives to Microsoft in 2000. It's not a new problem.
Thanks for the link. I would honestly be quite astounded if they were using individual-level reporting instead of using public data captured at the census tract level. Do you have any information about where the "family-level" data are coming from?

Vast swaths of North America have been under water or covered in ice sheets at various points in the Earth's history, including the time when humans lived.

I think it's fair to say that we are not well adapted to live under water or ice, yet both of those are definitely coming. Someday.
The graphics API isn't that big a deal anymore. It's often a pretty small part of the engine codebase. Many games, especially those built on the popular engines like Unity, support both DirectX and Vulkan (and Sony's API too).

These are family run restaurants. Started by great (or great-great or great-...-great) grandfather of current owners, serving limited menu of family recipes.

BTW: all that I said applies to large parts of Asia if the OP was not focused on just vegetarian restaurants, where India has an edge.
This' another example of the current wide-spread anti-China sentiment. It suggests only Chinese firms inflict such inhuman work demand on their employees. Totally not true. Stressful work condition is the norm in Silicon Valley, it's the norm on Wall Street for years. Investment bankers start their day at 5:30am and don't go home till 10pm. Some need to follow foreign markets and stay even later than that.

> but the point is that the processed diet drives more calorie consumption

My main gripe with this line of argument is that people rarely take price into account. It's pretty expensive to eat 2,000 calories of fresh food vs. 2,000 calories of junk food. I don't think it's some intrinsic quality of the food that's causing people to gain weight. I think many people who struggle with weight will eat as much as their money can get them, and your dollar goes a lot farther when you're buying junk food.

I also think we have a serious affordability problem when it comes to things like fruits, vegetables, lean meat, etc. People say fruit is cheap and sure, you might be able to get an Apple for $1, but that doesn't get you many calories. You need to fill out your diet with a lot of stuff like rice and beans if you're trying to eat cheap AND healthy. It's even worse if you look at prepared food, e.g. $11 for a 400 calorie salad at Panera. Assuming all your calories come at the same cost, you're spending $1,600 per month on food.

A fresh salad shouldn't be a luxury that only the rich can afford, but that seems to be the current state of affairs.
Then wealthy people show more "merit" and the test is working as designed. If the test is an accurate predictor of success in college and success thereafter (which is a big if), then that people who do well on it are more deserving of college admissions. The ancillary qualities of that group of people (wealth, race, etc.) are irrelevant.
I'd mostly disagree.

If you have an extremely high-margin service, e.g. perform bill $10k of work for $100 of salary, there's absolutely no incentive to automate things on the seller's side. It essentially means hiring someone to build out a (software) solution to squeeze the $100 into a dollar of payments on a cloud provider. All you're doing is raising your margin from 99% to 99.99%, it's meaningless, your profits increases by 1%, assuming the Capex for development was zero. And given this is typically a low-volume kind of transaction, with considerable development costs to build a Saas solution, this assumption is way too generous.

It's exactly these kinds of services which are completely fine to have humans perform.

It's the type of legal work where you bill $200 for a simple contract review and have to pay a paralegal say $100 for the work, which would be great to automate to a $1 of AWS payments. Here you're increasing margins from 50% to 99%, doubling profits. Any development costs can be averaged out to approach zero, as document review is a high-volume task in any organisation.
> consume fast food drive thru at least 5-6 times a week

That you're aware of. What's your fasted glucose level, or A1c? What about inflammation markers? Given your lifestyle you should probably know your calcium score (heart) too.

You could be pre-diabetic and not even know it, which means without intervention, you'll be really screwed in your not so distant future. You might already have plaque and scars accumulating in your heart. Or elevated inflammation slowly damaging organs in your body. Know your numbers if you're going to eat fast food every day of the week.
