Depends on your use case. If you have SSD attached over USB3, you can easilly pull 400MB/s. This would severely limit that, if that is an encrypted drive. On Allwinner H6, for example, you could get that speed on oncrypted drive while still having other cores free for other stuff.

So if you need to go through/process gigabytes of data on encrypted drive, having to do encryption in SW will slow you down massively, especially if you also need to process the retrieved data somehow.
The thing with japanese is that such translation is absolutely plausible in english. The language has nuances which are almost impossible to translate into concise english. Thus some completely mundane phrases (in japanese) might sound funny or weird in English so the closest english equivalent is used.

Anyhow in this context i’m quite sure it’s more descriptive of the author’s usage of english than anything.
So how else do you store the tick? I can see why they would recommend scotch tape: deer ticks are tiny, and the tape helps keep you from losing them. Don't say "put it in a film storage canister" because no one has those any more! I haven't seen one of those in decades. I'm not sure what I'd do with one honestly; I have some small Tupperware containers I could use, IF I happen to be at home when I pull the tick off.
> Heck, a function that's int x int -> int could be just about anything. How about string -> int?

That's because using types like "int" and "string" is not a real, valid use of a good type system. Instead, you'd typically have a function type of `newton -> sqMeter -> pascal`, or `username -> accessLevel`. All these types would be implemented through basic int and string types, but declaring them explicitly with very limited conversions inbetween would actually use type system to verify correctness of your code.

I have yet to read or hear any reason that vaping nicotine is harmful, beyond addiction potential.

Which imo is nowhere near as harmful as tobacco. I don't understand the hysteria.
1) I understand there's more to it than that which is why I called out imaging analysis at some point during my post.

2) I said over "for the most part". There are still travel agents today you know.

Please understand, the argument is not that they will not exist, but that there will be a greatly diminished job market unless imaging demand grows tremendously. And also that the nature of the job will be much different and probably see salaries stagnate.

3) Given your "call me when" scenario I would need ask specifics to properly respond. However at a superficial level I'm not sure I see any kind of millennium prize class problem at first glance.
It's cult-y for sure. The money is there for the taking, much in the way a COBOL programmer can name their price.
everyone vaping is better than the previous numbers of smokers. I don’t think you’re really grasping the difference.

Without vaping, that smoking rate would probably be 1/6 people, which is worse than everyone vaping.

I like the founding story - inspired by the food waste at a canteen - but that waste has not always been wasted. Before we got into a problem feeding cows to cows the slops from canteens were fed to pigs.

And we all know that those ready meals are not made from ingredients as beautiful as those shown on the labels.

In some parts of the world you get the likes of Lidl, Aldi and the market in town selling 'Class 2' produce - the ugly stuff. But a big box of Class 2 veg in your home - how long is that going to last before you need to throw it out?

Spending $115 to get a box of the stuff three times a week for a family of five works out as the organic large box. The non-organic stuff does not add up to that, so either they are on the premium large box and chomping the stuff down or they are adjusting their order a lot.

Maybe the money to be made is in customisations to the box?

But they still are not in profit and have taken $47 million in funding. I know they have to have the vans but can't vans be financed as you go rather than paid for up front? And isn't the 'ugly' produce going to be discarded anyway so therefore tantamount to being 'free'? I am surprised that anyone has invested so much in this uber-esque land grab.

People need to do all their shopping for groceries and not just the veg if one of the green goals is to have less driving, but all these veg delivery things just add more vans and lorries on the roads.

Call me cynical but I doubt that they are serving working class poor families that can't afford cars. I suspect they are facilitating another way for people to consume and another VC funded runway with exit plan. They could sell out to Amazon Whole Foods if those 200,000 people come back for more.
I work with someone who's crusaded against e-cigs and part of the reason the ban was put in place was that JUUL was making kid-desired flavors like "candy corn" and "unicorn milk".

E-cigs are essentially a very addictive substance (Nicotine) and a bunch of unregulated (and unreported) substances + flavor.

They're also disguised as usb-keys and hard to detect (not like a cigarette).

I'm sure SF lobbied with JUUL before laying down the ban-hammer.
The game looks impressive!

As an aside, how do major companies - computer graphics companies especially - still upload letterboxed videos? If I'm watching a 21:9 video on a 21:9 monitor, there shouldn't be black bars on all four sides; it should fill the screen. The entire video was shrunk down just so that the final five seconds could be a green-colored screen with a little xbox logo in the center?

Article doesn't contain the word 'taste', which is my take on the problem. I'd rather people were breeding produce for taste rather than being pretty on shelves and easy to transport. In Italy, produce on the shelves is generally not as pretty as here, but it tastes better.

My fundamental issue was that the value is so wildly varying and not being accepted at regular places that it fails horribly as a medium of exchange for goods and services.
This service is great if you are constantly cooking and/or consuming the entire box. It became difficult to keep up with orders and 2-3 boxes went to waste. I stopped after realizing exactly what I wanted to consume and just went to store when I needed it. It was great in that I lived next to a store. Felt like I was "contributing" by using this service but it appears as other commenters have said that this food normally did not go to waste in the first place.

I've tried using that book to explain to people how "real" software development works. How the inception of the real cool shit, the stuff that spawns a company, is almost always 2, 3 or a small handful of people working late, night after night, living on pizzas and cola, churning code. And how that apparent anarchy is a more productive environment that ten pointy headed bosses plugging away at their gantt charts and a hundred 9 to 5 developers carrying out their orders.

2) the largest fucking evape co (JUUL) is hq in sf

3) JUUL is investing heavily into vape tech and cannabis

4) have you ever been to any place in SF without smokers

5) SF has the highest number of michelin starred resta of any city on the planet - which means that you have a bunch of stressed out industry ppl who are going to smoke cigs/vape cigs

I dont smoke cigs or vape or even smoke cannabis!!! Yet i build cannabis tech. But get your nimby ass out of here and stop acting progressive.

A. I did say "in part." (Among other things) I also eventually concluded that celibacy was the best policy for my own health. Semen isn't the only way germs get traded.

B. This is an overwhelmingly male forum. While I'm quite comfortable blathering on about all kinds of personal things that give other people the heebie-jeebies, it's my general policy to not discuss my sex life here in a way that actively encourages such interest in me.

Suffice it to say, I'm really not in any need of dating advice. My remarks were pertinent to a meaningful discussion of health and that's the only thing I'm interested in discussing here.
Maybe they're pushing people to get the best school for their major.

I think going to Stanford for CS will open more doors than going to Oregon State. There is a significant networking aspect to these top schools as well. I see it very clearly with my friends who went to CalTech and Stanford.

I usually start with types. A signature saying I'm going from a pair of ints to one int doesn't say why I want to do that, I trust that the function name will, but it does help guide me to a function that's more likely correct than one without a type signature. More complex types offer more benefit, as they constrain the set of correct implementations further. Consider just the value of saying Int x Int -> Nat.

But mostly I like Haskell's type system for the high degree of confidence it gives me while refactoring. Type Tetris is a side benefit on that, IMO.
I was a subscriber for a while and I am pretty sure it was more expensive than the store, IIRC it was about $35 - you can definitely get more than a small box of vegetables at the store for $35.

I think the bottom line is that courier delivery is not as cheap as depot delivery (i.e. to the store) although it can be more convenient (i.e. Blue Apron, Amazon, etc) I didn't find produce boxes to be convenient at all, because unless you actively manage your deliveries you end up needing to go shopping anyways to get other ingredients to fill out recipes made from the stuff that comes in the box (like, fennel doesn't go with everything, I don't really like chard by itself, etc) and as noted above the veggies are frequently past their prime.
My guess is that it could work. It would be hard to detect, because the queries come from real users.

No. Apple cares about privacy and security because it wants to become a bank and payment processor. It had/has so much liquid capital it just makes sense. They've been moving that way ever since 2013 or so. All the concentration on security is so that their phones can be payment terminals and Apple can seek rent.
Because you cannot save enough cash to be able to afford every worthwhile treatment through up-front payment. If you don't have $150k in cash and don't have insurance, you can't get chemotherapy and die a preventable death. With insurance, the worst case is paying your out of pocket maximum, getting treatment, and then declaring bankruptcy or otherwise fighting attempts to balance bill you for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Yep. If it isn't explicit enough: the reason you sell liquidity is that people pay for it, hopefully more than it costs you to provide.

You collect, approximately, half the spread less your losses to adverse selection and hope to cover the (pretty formidably high at this point) essentially fixed costs of operating in the market by taking that small margin and parallelizing it over an _extremely_ high number of trades.

I totally agree that it would be worse in the absence of an app based system. The point is to be adaptive and correct the legislative mistakes that get made. Adaptability is always a key requirement for the success of any system. Right now this rate of change is IMHO too bottlenecked.

A two-thirds vote can also be minimally required for major changes, so as to stabilize the system.
Seems ludicrous to ban vaping without banning smoking. I wouldn't ban either personally, but if you're going to ban one...
Not completely. Types are documentation. When going from JS -> TS you suddenly have the ability to create types that allow you to easily discover what is in an object. You can now confidently say foo.bar.replace(...) and know it'll work at runtime.

Otherwise you hope that someone has written in a doc somewhere that bar is a string. And judging by npm docs I've seen - that is very unlikely. So you debug at runtime, head over to the github repo, or do an console.log(typeof(... hmm!
I have a similar experience with mathematics. "The differential form expressions for Maxwell's equations are incredibly simple!" Yup, they're simple after you've done all of the work to wrap your mind around differential forms in the first place. I did it at some point. It was rewarding, and it was elegant, and it was even fun, but it was anything but easy on my brain.

Haskell feels a lot like that. That code snippet gave me the same feeling of having to climb a conceptual mountain to appreciate the metaphorical view at the top. I have no doubt that there is something beautiful there, but of all of the conceptual, programming related mountains I need to climb, the language abstraction one is pretty low priority, because the language I am using really is not my limiting factor. I appreciate that others who care spend a lot of time thinking about this problem, but Haskell's got a long way to go before I'm convinced that it's worth using in everyday contexts.
How can a dashcam possibly detect an accident? Wouldn't that basically start recording after the fact and hence be mostly worthless?
Cost should play a role but I don't think it should ever cross your mind or need to be a decision you have to make.

In your anecdotal situation let's say you fell and broke your arm and are now sitting in the back of the ambulance when they ask that question. North or South hospital?

With your one good arm are will you load up a cost comparison of services between the hospitals, checking what the procedure might be if the break is impacted, if muscle tissue is torn or needs to be repaired surgically, what followups or cast removal costs, and building a spreadsheet of possible scenarios based on the underlying medical statistics combined with the risk factors of your incident? Ar you comparing that against hospital ratings for those departments and doctors and their success rates combined with education or training in line with best practices or regulations? Then are you compiling this data to make a decision based on which hospital is the most viable economically vs the standard of care for your suspected injury and reaching a decision?

Are you going to do this for every viable healthcare situation in advance so you're aware of updated costs at South or the new star surgeon hired at North hospital?

There's certainly a market for that analysis but I don't think it's analogous to real life. Most people are going to call 911, get in the ambulance if needed, and go to the closest hospital with capacity. The price, quality, and other checks need to happen at a higher level while still be transparent and open. Medicare has tools to solve this just like how the FDA us meant to resolve food safety questions and other governing bodies are there to regulate and enforce standards. Unfortunately it's not as simple libertarian as "North or South?"

They are providing a drug to treat overdoses which is an entirely different thing than a drug that is used to ease someone out of a chemical addiction. There are different priorities when someone is minutes from dying rather being addicted to a deadly substance that might take years to kill them.
I do have an example, the skytrain station I usually disembark on recently was plastered with vape ads[1][2]. I don't really see why e-cigarettes should need to advertise at all, they could simply be devices suggested to smokers by medical professionals as a cessation aid.

I think we can also look to history when it comes to the flavouring of things, it used to be that medicines would be sweetened to override the natural bitter or acidic tastes of the active ingredients but this led to more abuse of those substances.
