Americans can pull off that kind of fast repair, too: https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2018/12/07/an-...

The Washington Post article hints at some of the differences between their repair and more permanent work:

> Alaska DOT spokeswoman Shannon McCarthy was quick to emphasize that this was emergency repair work and not a regular transportation project.

> The latter requires permitting, survey operations, geotechnical work and a host of other prerequisites — and those finished roadways are designed to last, say, 20 years, she said.

> “All of those things take a lot of time,” McCarthy told The Washington Post. “This is not that kind of project. This is a project to restore essential travel.”

> While the repaired road is safe for drivers, it will require additional work after the spring arrives, she added.
This crosses into personal attack as well as being flamebait. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't post like this.

If your friends are on Facebook, it is not your problem to worry about. It is like if your friend is dating a girl you don’t like, get over it. People made their choices already.
I'd think a Universal Basic Income could help value work like this, work that the market traditionally does not reward, much like caregivers. Doesn't solve the problem of course, but could go a long way.
Aren't the prices usually low enough that you can have the work done multiple times and choose the best one?

"never thought of it more than" used to have no bearing on companies accessing the public markets, and obviously it still doesn't whenever someone wants to do the paperwork.

IPO has been improperly elevated to a form of validation, put on a pedestal that doesn't exist, imagined solely because of the improbability of an IPO occurring.

I would point the finger at VCs but they are a byproduct of accounting and securities market regulatory devolution at the turn of the century

I've seen a video of experimental tech where a military humvee had a 360 array of cameras, whose feeds were collaged into a live 3rd person perspective feed. I think the humvee also had all its windows boarded up. The idea was for the crew not to use in-vehicle perspectives at all. I could see that working when you have to do tricky slow speed maneuvering. A top down view, where you could also see projections of how the truck would shift given different steering angles.
Also use Fiverr, and you can find quality designers with portfolios from Dribbble and even some developers that are competent. You have to dig deep but the quality is there. The negative attitude in this thread is misplaced. Not sure where it is coming from.

For example, I use an iOS developer that charges me $50/hr on Fiverr, and I'm willing to put him against any Google or Facebook developer for quality and exceeding expectations. Although, I will admit that he is a rare find on Fiverr.
so, until the truths were convenient? And btw, the question is not if we support his decision to leak things, but whether he deserves to die in jail (or worse) or not.
In a sense, it's pretty similar to how theme parks are designed too, with the best ones being structured in much the same as a 3D collectathon level. There's usually a key focal point in the middle of the area to act as a reference, a bunch of smaller ones off to all sides meant to draw people's attention towards smaller obstacles/attractions, and clever uses of scenery and forced perspective to give the impression of a much bigger, more detailed world than's practically possible.
This is supposed to be aimed at high school students.

That's the stated motivation, but like the 40 hours mentioned around the same place, I have always assumed it was intended to be a bit tongue-in-cheek. The material covered here would span much of an undergraduate syllabus, and it would surely take several years even for an interested and hard-working mathematics student at a top university to understand and apply all of this effectively. Indeed, there are references to concepts that you wouldn't necessarily expect to have studied in detail or perhaps even encountered at all below postgraduate level.

> The famous deal where Microsoft promised to keep bringing Office to the Mac for five years was in 1997.

I believe you're conflating "Apple needing an Office story to sell to enterprise" with "Apple needing pre-commitment from Microsoft before implementing a hardware or OS transition". Those transitions would've happened regardless of whether we lost a few A-list developers.

Apple did not ask permission from developers before deciding to advance their platform.

Desiccation is terrifying. Glyphosate is fat soluble so it has a chance of getting into seeds that will be the basis for vegetable oils.

The most surprising part for me about the dried fish trade was the role of Nigeria!

"Enterprising Icelanders have figured out how to salvage the waste from the fish factories. They take the discarded carcasses and heads to hang them on racks to dry and send to Nigeria. There are football fields of hand tied fish heads in the lava fields outside Hafnafjord (near the blue lagoon). Portuguese gave the Nigerians a taste for dried fish heads at and Icelanders are very smart and capitalizing on the protein drain in Africa."

There is a lot of well meaning, but completely impractical parenting advice out there that does nothing but make parents feel like failures. The best thing a parent can do in order to maintain sanity is learn to completely ignore 95% of all advice others give them.

This is the setup I normally use, though I would suggest storing the data in Parquet or ORC format if possible. Kinesis Firehose will perform this conversion for you, and the resulting data files are much smaller. If you need a flexible schema, though, stick with JSON.
Emotional Intelligence is kind of a misnomer... there isn't really any scientific backing on the stated concept of "emotional intelligence" in the sense of the pop-science books such as (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emotional_Intelligence_App...) or similar concepts such as Neural Linguistic Programming.

But if you are trying to build a hiring "model" to define soft skills that fit into your system, that is very doable, but you basically need to build it from scratch since there isn't a really good framework. There is a LOT of good research on personality, so I would recommend starting there... if you're interested I can find some links but I'll probably just get down voted so... I'll wait for the request :)

I'm surprised Fiverr has 360+ employees. I always figured it was 50 folks max, "craigslist" type of company.
The patterns described here are: Guidance (Leading the player), Safe Zones, Foreshadowing, Layering (Combining multiple enemies and hazards), Branching, Pace Breaking.

It's a good list which can be applied side-scrollers, top-down games or even 3D games alike. The examples are great and some of those games really awaken unforgettable childhood memories. But I believe that the list could be so much longer.

Some other things which which come to my mind regarding level design: Procedural generation, Unlocking, Backtracking, Parallax effects, Mixing environments, Transforming environments, Open and Closed levels, Secrets and Cow Levels...

I'm having a great time thinking about this stuff. It's fascinating to observe those different elements while playing a game. Game mechanics are even more intricate. I think the combination of level design and game mechanics is key to creating a great game.

Big Data Is Watching You
you save states on the blockchain, you compute with pretty much nothing involving blockchain, maybe occasionally reading a state

you do your processing in a cloud provider like any other application

you save your state on a blockchain, which typically is a cluster of nodes that do microservice executions like you already do in "the cloud"

its not that hard people

they aren't anymore a Lambda company than a Node.JS company than a blockchain company, but saying one will definitely get them funded way faster.

The ability to modify behavior by singing a couplet from a story I read -- no raising of voices, or wagging of fingers -- was revelatory.

It's from the waldorf educational tradition.
Yeah, it's the one question blockchain enthusiasts never have an answer for: What if I lie?

The issue was never the mutability of the record. The issue is reconciling the record with reality.

Let's say I'm ordering 5 widgets. Along the way, 3 go missing. I receive 2. The blockchain says that all 5 made it from the warehouse to the final destination.

Blockchain does nothing to prevent shitty record keeping.

Something about basic economics tells me that's an exaggeration. But I do agree with your point that there are hidden talents to be found on sites like Fiverr.
This reminds me of a friend of mine. Jenny Ahlstrom learned it can be valuable for patients to voluntarily share their own medical data:

https://newsroom.siliconslopes.com/jenny-ahlstrom-mother-can...

Key quote:

“Everyone — from hospitals, tech companies, and pharma — wants patient data,” Jenny said. “But each have their own data silos, HIPAA restrictions, regulatory concerns, and liability issues. Through trial and error, we discovered the key to the puzzle: patients have the freedom to aggregate their own data and freely share it to drive new research.”

I look forward to seeing more initiatives like hers.
You mean other than 'perjury' when they ask you in court if that was your signature?

No, it doesn't HAVE to match your usual signature, but that's not the actual point of a signature anyway.
There are some quality people on Fiverr,but as others already mentioned, you need to spend time finding them. The valuation,on the other hand, is complete overblown nonsense baloon.
Not protected in the formal sense, but the old one still applied with its month's notice in both directions. Really the key factor was the difficulty in replacing developers.
Fun related story.

My best friend was given a PIP from his manager. Company wanted him out for political reasons, told him he had to sign, except all of the reasons in the PIP were fabricated.

He stapled a page to the back before turning it in saying that he disagrees, but is required to sign, and thus wishes to comply with the requirement to sign.

They fired him immediately for refusing to remove the extra page, tried to deny him unemployment benefits saying that he chose to quit by not signing. The case went to unemployment court and he won. He got all his benefits, company had to pay a huge fine.
Lies! lol.
Some people actually like it!

That seems like a pretty cynical perspective to me. Like if Edison had said "it's been shown over and over that electric light bulbs don't work" after the first couple hundred experiments didn't pan out.
AFAIK Vobla is typically one specific fish, namely the "Caspian Roach". That said, its pretty tasty. If you get some there pick up some of the beer as well.
If it worked that way, the people writing the contract would make you read it.

And that would be a better world.
Have you tried using upwork? Reason I ask is I’m surprised to hear you can find quality reliable technical consulting on fiverr.
> I can’t know whether each item we purchase is essential. Many of them are highly technical.

> The subversive way is to circumvent the requirement to lie. Can you cross out the offending sentence on the form each month before you sign it? ... I have used this method.

This seems like terrible advice. It pretty much guarantees that no one is accountable and the problem will only get worse. Don't sign anything until the necessary evidence is provided and be prepared to reject purchases that lack justification. Inaction and delegation are powerful tools in the hands of a bureaucrat, use them.
I'm not saying I agree with this, I'm saying this is how pharama business works. I've worked for some of the biggest players globally, and I can tell you they are not in the business for cures.
> So if you come up with some better way of telling apart real from fake, it can immediately be used as part of the discriminator

The generator can only learn from the discriminator if the discriminator is differentiable and has reasonably consistent gradients.
Each violation of HIPAA can carry a fine between $100 and $50,000 per violation. The hard part is that many people don't know what their privacy rights are, or to whom they go when their rights are violated (in this case, the Office of Civil Rights of the Department of Health and Human Services).
I don't see how SwiftUI/SUI is any different from UWP?

Stockfish has been the main ingredient of a very traditional plate in north east Italy for more than four hundred years [1]. These days it is not used as much as in the past, but you can still find stockfish in a number of supermarkets.
Preparing the fish for cooking takes 2-3 days, and the first step is of course beating it with a mallet :-)

[1] It was in fact considered food for poor people which is quite strange since it was imported from far places.

Many modern games are basically theme parks.

This is why I prefer more sandboxy games with more potential for emergence.
Hahahaha. But how many houses are sold annually vs. how many reddits?
Thanks. I'm not sure why I was blanking on IETF and W3C. I was not familiar with WHATWG.
The W3C's failures pale in comparison to what I hear of the ISO MPEG process, in which companies compete to put as much of their patented technology in the codec standard as possible without any regard for coherence. ISO is worse than the W3C.
Maybe they do but at least WeChat have their own face recognition technology, in which case they do hold people's biometric data.

This is not that big a deal in China considering that people have photo ID card, which means that the government already had everyone's biometric data.

Yes, a typo. I meant 90s.
If you still have it, can you check for ISO-1000 being there?
From the aspect of what would happen first, this would be more realistic than getting more companies on board for curing and preventing vs maintaining.

Having a regional or even global movement for healthier lifestyles would be easier done than convincing shareholders to make less money. Sad, but true.
What is the problem you are talking about? Who exactly has that problem? What are "exploitative licenses"?

If money paid by licensees is the primary driving motivation for development, then FOSS is completely wrong type of licenses for this. This is called commercial development.

Then you missed out on the silly games I wrote for it, or the way I got around having to speak my own class presentations by having PowerPoint narrate itself. (I wish I had more videos of that stuff that I did in school given that deprecation has bit rotted it all.)

Not sure why you're downvoted. It probably has to do with the implication that it might be a government or a private company that is doing the logging, but that doesn't need to be the case. We could develop a culture where we record everything around us and store the recording on our own devices, accessible only by us.
We tried using Dribbble at one point to hire designers (ft and project based). Maybe it’s just been our bad luck, but I really think there is something about Dribbble that seems to attract people who think they are at a very different place in their career than their experience, knowledge, skill level or ability to deliver would justify. It’s almost a weird, aspirational site.

It had never occurred to me to try Fiverr for this.
I wonder how many of these are still covered by insurance companies. You'd think they're in ideal (data collection) position to raise questions about what works and what doesn't. Certainly, the insurance cos have more incentive to raise red flags than Big Pharma.
>you can get user's who file issues to be fixed but supply no money or manpower to fix them

A model I've seen that I'm optimistic of is assigning bounties to tickets. I've seen two flavors of this:

A. Users put money on tickets. Maybe three people put $25 dollars each on a ticket, so it's now worth $75 to resolve. Someone comes along and gets a pull request merged that solves the ticket. They get the money that's on the ticket.

B. Users contribute to an overall project budget (perhaps through something like Patreon) and a project lead assigns the money to the tickets that he wants to entice people to resolve.
It's called multinomial logistic regression if there are more than 2 classes. It works exactly how you described.
Well, some of them are required to manage the others. Those managers need secretaries. Some of them are required to prepare reports for the managers. Some of them provide HR support for such a large workforce. Also, you need IT support for all those secretaries, report-generators, managers, and HR people. Payroll department needs to be larger given how many people work there. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
