Good question. My casual research into CO2 sensors is that they are generally made for indoor air quality rather than outside atmospheric concentration. Indoor CO2 concentration can soar as high as 1000 ppm where outdoors hovers around the 400 ppm level, so it is important to get a sensor made for the lowest range. The T6613 is specified for operation at 400 ppm so that is a big driver for my decision.

The MH-Z19 has a model specified for 0 to 2000 ppm so it might work fine. I don't know about the CCS811, the data sheet says it measures "equivalent" CO2, which is not a direct measurement, but a quantity inferred after measuring other compounds.

In the long run, there are calibration problems, as the photodetector ages. The best sensors have two light sources and automatically compensate for this effect. Indeed the other candidate I am considering is the Telaire 6615 which has dual sensors. My plan is to use the one of the two Telaires, preferably the dual sensor version, and correct measurements for temperature, pressure, and humidity. Hopefully, it will be accurate for a long time without the need for calibration with a known gas.

FWIW, I am just an amateur and welcome informed opinions. Scientific instruments that measure accurately in the atmospheric range are too pricey for me. The scientific community is just now starting to evaluate low cost sensors like the ones mentioned here, see [1] for a summary of some recent evaluations.

Can someone help me understand, honestly, how a business gets started and funded without the answer to "how to make it viable" being answered already?
Well, it's Russia... the land of the oligarchs.
A company I worked for was interested in installing these WiFi locators in its buildings to study how people move through them - it turns out it doesn't work that well outside of fully clear spaces (so it can't be crowded, there can't bee too much furniture - although you might be able to deal with the latter if you spend a long time calibrating) + it requires dedicated devices (with faster clocks). Definitely doable though.
You cited a publication called "Intelligence Is the Best Predictor of Job Performance", but funnily enough there's also one called "Intelligence Is Not the Best Predictor of Job Performance", which one year later claims that the former one is flawed.

There's also this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4557354/, which says "Supporters of IQ testing have been quick to point to correlations between IQ and job performance as evidence of test validity. A closer look at the data and results, however, suggests a rather murkier picture."

> The skill acquired by a low IQ in five years is often surpassed by a high IQ person with a few months of experience.

This looks wrong to me, most things take more than a few months to learn.
A few possibilities:

First, the amount appears to be the total through a bank, where this number would be aggregated over a several (possibly many) individuals.

Second, the amounts reported do not reflect the total funds laundered (illicit funds made to appear legitimate) but the total revenue stream, which would be offset by liabilities. For example, one laundering technique I've read about involves buying real estate and selling it at an inflated price to someone who has the illicit funds. For example, A has illicit cash and wants to transfer it to (apparently) legitimate profits by B. B buys a property for $1m. B sells the property to A1 for $2m. B keeps the $1m difference as profit. A1 later sells the property at a loss, and the cycle is complete. Repeat this a few thousand times, but probably with a smaller % margin. But assuming a 100% margin (and the whole laundering effort being exactly this scheme) that'd be $450B total revenue but $225B actually laundered.

Interesting side effect: This pushes up the cost of housing in an area until the launderers abandon it, at which point demand and purchase volume dries up significantly and valuations sink. Additional profit could be made off this market manipulation.
I'm not sure that is true. I suspect that a great many containers are running in OSs that are in turn running in VMs on hosts in "cloud" structures, perhaps eclipsing the number that are running on an OS on bare metal.
Or, alternatively: When the system is originally contracted, the bean counters refuse to permit any budget for any development beyond the initial creation.
I think a lot of Patreon's controversial decisions, e.g. raising fees, have come largely because they gave VCs control.

I'm also in the same boat. I'm considering moving to SF from the east coast.

Well you are talking about control of the product road map, which isn't really something that the license can do much about. GPL is just as forkable as MIT or BSD. And as to being "stuck" maintaining code that you don't want to... well, just stop already.

Control over the evolution of a protocol isn't easy to bake into a license. It is probably better to look at tools like trademark where you can require passing compliance tests to fly a logo, for instance.

Again, be clear about your goals. Controlling the evolution of a protocol forever is different from launching and declaring victory once it takes on a life of its own. Both are legit, but require different tool kits.

I don't think people are especially willing to cooperate in the absence of enforced rules, even with regard to the GPL. They didn't "choose" to live in countries where governments will perform force against them if they break the rules -- that's a very rosy view of consent and cooperation. And even in such a world, GPL violations are so common that for a while I think most Android phones in existence weren't even trying hard to pretend to comply with GPL.

Since the intent is political I am not far from agreeing with you. But pragmatically when we see an act and decide someone needs to go to jail for it, the "international community" stays away from that word[0]. The acts themselves can be sanctioned without having to put the word 'terrorism' in any given law.

I would suggest reading about the recent putative drone incident at Gatwick:

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

The safety precautions taken were so strenuous that i find it hard to muster any fear that any injury to life will occur during this planned protest.
You seem to be wilfully misunderstanding. The point of naming a day is that it won't come as a surprise, and the airport will be on high alert for any drone sightings. Activists will no doubt fly the first drones somewhere very obvious, but well away from planes, at which point Heathrow will close to planes and they'll have the runways to themselves. If they take the threat seriously, Heathrow may even close to flights in advance to avoid last-minute disruption.

If you have budget for two poor front end devs, IMO you’re way better off paying 1.5x and getting one good one, if comp is the sticking point for landing a good front-end dev.

“We can’t afford that!” “But you can waste money on two crappy devs?!”

(If you only have budget for one, the cash flow doesn’t work, of course.)
It's called propaganda. Go back 4 or 5 years ago. The NYTimes, Bloomberg, WSJ, etc all ran the same stories back then. The comments were the same. Usually some "expat" living there giving his "expert" propaganda or some "expat" talking about had he had to leave hong kong because it was so bad. Back then, there was a lot of "ghost cities" scare mongering. A lot less of it today. You notice the same patterns. The "britain tried to give democracy to hong kong" propaganda. The "people of hong kong" prefer britain propaganda. China is about to collapse.

Once the trade war nonsense ends, you'll see these stories and comments disappear. Just like all the "I hate facebook" stories and comments. Just like the "Russia controls everything in the US" stories and comments.

Until it's time for "We've always been at war with eurasia". If only these people cared about freedom here at home as much as they "care" about freedom in china. You'll notice that most of the people ( journalists and commenters ) crying about censorship, privacy, freedom etc in china are the same ones demanding more censorship, less privacy and less freedom here and on social media.

I think your implicit assumption that most Github projects are created as a form of resumé building is incorrect.
> you could justify any political system, including monarchy, dictatorships, etc. as long as people can leave the country

Exactly! Can you point at how precisely this is "wrong"? I thought that was the essence of libertarian free-market capitalism as described by people who propose it, that any possible consensual arrangement is valid as long as it is entered without coertion and it doesn't affect third parties? (Sometimes, even when it affects third parties; I've lost count how many times free-market proponents will skip over the topic of externalities, abandon the conversation when politely pointing them to the externalities involved, or simply insisting that those externalities could be magically solved by applyinng more private property to the problem).

It's not a system I personally believe in, but the people proposing it always put it in those absolute terms, with "private property" being an absolute moral value, and any system (like taxes) which limit it being considered evil; so hey - what's wrong with exploring it to its ultimate logical consequences, just from an unconventional angle? Or maybe rationalism is only valid when you use it to arrive to the same exact consequences that you started with?? Playing devil's advocate to show the contradictions of an ideologic system is a valid argumentation strategy.

> You might as well say: "If you don't like the country you were born in, just kill yourself." because you're rejecting the discussion about justice entirely.

Not at all. I'm merely exploring a definition of justice different from "private property good, government intervention bad" that I inferred from your comment considering tax-supported social programs as a "steal".

> That would work if switching countries had a negligible cost

People proposing free markets as the ultimate moral good typically do not take into consideration these concerns of the cost suffered by the people who least benefit from applying the immutable axioms; in my experience, they will justify people suffering poverty because they have a plausible way of escape by engaging in private initiative and consensual contracts. So how exactly is that way of thinking, that I have often encountered in the wild, any different from my thought experiment above?
It's around the same price per sq-foot as NYC, but you get paid about 30% less.
It's hyperbole to suggest that risk exists when the protestors are telling everyone the exact date, time and location they will fly the drones. If the airport still chooses to fly airplanes during that time and people still choose to get on them, then I think you can't say the risk was introduced by the protestors.

Which is not to say I agree or disagree with the protestors, but please don't dilute the meaning of terrorism.
Yeah it's pretty weird. Was trying to think of something that would need this exact behavior, assuming it's legit...maybe parsing some piece of text where you expect a fourth part only if the third was parsed successfully and you don't care about the outcome of the previous two

Sure,

1) The founder makes the case that if they reach a critical mass of "X users," or "Y Transaction volume," or another relevant metric there will be a windfall to be shared.

2) The investor evaluates the viability of the plan based on macro factors and the track record of the founders.

Every startup pitch has a certain amount of uncertainty. In this case, the market for a Patreon-like service was well-understood. The risk in this deal was whether or not the team could actually execute. There's no definitive way to tell if a team will be able to execute or not until you invest.

It turns out that this team has a strong pedigree in community-building, but perhaps less in the day-to-day operation of a market place in a market with an entrenched competitor. They also seemed to be focused as much on achieving ideological milestones as financial ones (which is fine!).

The outcome is unfortunate, but that doesn't mean the bet was bad when it was made.
You aren't wrong to be getting that cognitive dissonance. The more you think about it the worse it gets. The British Government spends loads of money on security and maintenance on the airport as well. If you talk about American Airports it gets even weirder. We have like private security companies that work with the TSA and Airports. So we have the public funding a private airport, which is a part of the national infrastructure, which hires private companies to run the things, which are defended and secured by public tax payer dollars.
My guess is that either your interview is too much fluff, and not enough technical detail, or you're intimidating the candidates and they get lost.

It makes zero sense that someone can have a deep technical discussion but they're not able to write fizz buzz (which by the way is a crap exercise).
Sure, if one is asking general questions about agile, TDD, SOLID and other fluff, anyone can answer those.

I actually came across this by reading about it in Where the Wizards Stay Up Late. The release of Klatu set off a debate on Arpanet mail lists over what can and can't be said using the government-sponsored Arpanet.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/magazine/19...
>"Protesters plan a return to the airport—and there is very little the authorities can do"

This line is curious.

When was the first one? I mean there was the shenanigans where nobody was sure if there was even a drone, but there was in that case, as far as I am aware, no evidence for any activism beyond people saying that it might be activists.

I am dubious about this reporting. If someone can show me something from people representing the organisation, that is one thing, but so far I have seen this in the Evening Standard and The Economist, who are both quite capable of pushing a load of utter bullshit dressed up as news.
"War or give us what we want,"

I always wonder what he really wants from them (Total surrender is probably not going to happen and he rejects the nuclear treaty so what's the endgame?). I also don't understand how nice he is to North Korea in comparison to Iran. North Korea's government is probably the most brutal government on the planet right now and makes Iran almost look nice.
I never said it was weak. It's not. I said that you're going to have to think through whether the "but what about"s that you come up with really counter his point, because he's not going to address every "what about" that exists.
National infrastructure and nationalized infrastructure are not the same thing. Just because the airport was privatized in the 80s doesn't mean that it's not still part of the national infrastructure.
It depends on the position. If I’m looking for a developer for yet another software as a service CRUD app, I may not need anyone that understands “CS fundamentals”.

The GPL is the one reason why there is one "mainline" Linux kernel and a number of roughly compatible distributions rather than the incompatible chaos of the Unix wars of the '80s and '90s.

It's important to keep in mind that the creators of ETH gave themselves an order of magnitude more coins to start with than will ever be mined. While it is true that some of it has been sold many times over by now, it still creates a power dynamic within the community which can hardly be ignored.

It's especially problematic for a project that was supposed to be PoS, where the coin holders are also the miners, with the privileges that brings.
The Provisional IRA did the same thing with bombings, and they were definitely terrorists.

Plumbers with 3 years of experience fixing toilets are usually still in their Apprenticeship programs. Around year 4 or 5 they'll graduate to Journeyman at which point they're authorized to work without the supervision of a more senior plumber. You hired a plumber to fix your toilet, but you have a waterless composting toilet and your plumber's knowledge is still at the level of "water and poo goes down the pipes".

That's all true, but it's not really relevant to what I was saying. We don't do whiteboard interviews; that was some code I found during a code review. My original comment was in response to the assertion "my resume speaks for itself", and was simply meant to serve as a counter example. A lot of people seem to have interpreted it as "interviews should involve complex whiteboard programming" and/or "you should always use redux for your back office CRUD apps".
That's a very... American perspective of the European mainstream right.

No Conservative who wants to be elected is going to lament the NHS. They will talk at length about how wonderful and irreplaceable the NHS is at the same time as voting in government for market reforms or internal markets that have always made the service to patients worse. Always worse, never better. They will consistently under-fund it - under the Tories waiting lists always rise, and health outcomes decline.

Only the lunatic fringe on the extreme right would advocate ripping up something that works, to replace it with something 4x more expensive. Oh, and it was the UK Conservative party that legalised gay marriage.

This is the same Conservative party that has given 10 years of dogma led small-government, destroy services austerity in order to sort the national finances out, whilst making the national finances far, far worse. They are definitely of the right, far to the right of Thatcher, but they are not the Republican party or the Lib Dems.

The FT serves and is of the right as it exists in the UK and Europe where they are published. Where most business owners will have a more sympathetic view to those issues. They seem to manage to serve their audience much better than the current Tory party.

Totally agree about their intellectual streak though - you can get an excellent, and generally very accurate dive into many topics that you'd be hard pushed to see elsewhere.
