AT&T loses nearly 1M TV customers after raising DirecTV prices
I was in Paris earlier this month when it was very hot and it was really amazing just how unprepared everyone is.

No Screens on the windows

No fans

No AC except in the museums

No insulation in any of the places we stayed (France,
Germany, Switzerland)

Stuff like Gatorade, Electrolyte drinks, etc.. mostly missing in action

Everyone drinking lots of alcohol in the heat (dehydrating)

The lack of fans & screens was more surprising than the lack of A/C, which I understood as not really needed since they are very far north. Lack of insulation was really weird too since historically those areas get really cold.

I'm from the Boston area we have had temps near 100F/38C since I was a kid, basically every summer.

The weather in Paris was not particularly hot based on growing up in New England, and it was less humid. But it was relentless since there was no way to be prepared for it.

We noticed an awful lot of people seemed to be in denial about wearing appropriate clothes in the heat too.. pants, long sleeve shirts, jackets, etc.. when it was 90F/32C.

Facebook spent billions pickup up Whats-app and Instagram (and probably a fair chunk developing and maintaining messenger).

This wasn't solely to pick up untold millions of new users who'd never used "original blue facebook" - if it had been, you'd need a facebook account to use Whats-app. Point was to ensure you didn't stray from the blue-app, onto something Facebook didn't own/control.

In my humble view, the keeping of messenger and whats-app separate by Facebook is smart - as they have two offerings that appeal to different people (and to many people that happily use both).

You know from all the rumours of "ads on Whatsapp" that internally in facebook they're trying to work out how to leverage all our eyeballs on all those different apps - but the reason they haven't merged them all, is they've worked out they keep more people if they keep the apps separate.

To take my favourite anecdotal example, I used to use latitude on google maps to work out where my friends were (I'm in the pub, when are you turning up?). Then google killed that functionality to try to make us all move to google+.... We didn't, it died.

Now, if a few of us are trying to co-ordinate say a drink after work, we'll use whatsapp. Google lost that feature I use to Facebook.

I'm not saying to use what frameworks win in popularity. The problem is; how are you supposed to know which framework/library tool is going to be the best for your project without actually trying it in said project? I've heard a lot of stories of startups going down a path of using a new library because they initally thought it would be the right tool to fit their needs, but after actually implementing it they find it was the worst decision they ever made. They inevitably end up needing to rewrite everything (eventually) using the more appropriate tool.

You may not have put in anything directly but they have stuff about a lot of the people you follow, recommendations to you and ML that analyzes your habits to better find info about you.

Correct - the bias I was referring to was that you seem to believe that a "technologically superior" country would be better at managing nuclear reactors.

However, the truth is that technological superiority of a country has little to do with effective and safe management of reactors, which are technological but in fact decades old in design and operation.

Rather, social and societal attributes like discipline and the ability to not let political concerns affect technical safety decisions seems far more relevant. Witness the US Navy, for example - a large number of reactors used under some of the most difficult conditions possible and no accidents. Canada also has had very few.

I am not saying your assumption isn't the same one a lot of people would make, however.
Oh, I completely agree. Youtube should stop pretending they have a service suitable for children. Youtube should be making it clear to consumers that their service is for mature viewers only because they are incapable of vetting content for children with the accuracy consumers rightfully expect from a children's entertainment company.

They really did. The expectation when tipping is that there is some base pay being paid to the worker and then whatever I tip will be additional pay to the worker on top of that base. DoorDash was taking money out of that tip to pay the base pay so workers would then be getting less money than they should otherwise be getting.

Ow, come on, he posted:

>I almost bought a restaurant. Even the good ones like McDonald's aren't great.

It can be read both ways, one of which sounds (to me at least) funny.

However if we are going to be picky, a McDonalds (or better a McDonalds you can actually buy) is a franchise:

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

and whilst McDonalds (the parent company) isn't going to close for good, I know people that managed to lose money attempting to run similar franchises.

In such a setup, all the technology, the supplies and the marketing (besides quality standards and training of personnel) come from the franchisor, so the "added value" by the franchisee is relatively low, and compensated accordingly.

Some data (maybe accurate, maybe not):

Water is a basic human right. In most countries, water is a public good that the government subsidizes and, to some extent, the market is adjusted to allow vulnerable households to afford the resource as well. If we have a 100% free market-based solution then in many locations the poor and underprivileged have a considerably less access to this vital resource (some won't get any). An example of this can be seen in India. Many districts there suffer from intermittent water supply (where the local piped water comes at irregular intervals instead of continuously). These people might not be able to shower regularly and they aren't given a schedule of when the water will come, so they can't schedule their day or week. Many of these people might even have to leave work for a day (losing that income and economic productivity) and jump out to fill up their water tanks in their homes. As they don't know when the water comes (no regular scheduling), this uncertainty can be nerve racking and (even if you're trying to stretch it out to last) may not be enough to last your family until the next "supply". In these cases, you call in a water tanker to refill your tank but even then you don't know if it'll come.

On the tanker truck company's side, they don't want irregular domestic clients, they want more regular commercial clients (because the total customer value is much higher, you get more money from those clients than a household that needs a one-offer). So those companies aren't really incentivized to service residential clients. So if another call comes in, those commercial clients would take higher priority than those vulnerable households.

Those solutions don't really help this problem, and this problem is just going to grow for the foreseeable future. Not exactly what I'm talking about, but IWA recently published an article about how many cities are shifting from 24/7 to intermittent water supply solutions [0], and if this becomes irregular and the system starts to fail, then this will just keep that problem growing. One of the projects I'm involved in works on trying to solve this exact problem and we recently got some support from the US National Science Foundation as well as the Gates Foundation. However, there's still a long way to go. (Sidebar: Anyone want to give us more funding or help? Send me a message!)

It hasn't "vanished", it is just hiding in the ocean and the atmosphere. Same as the (vanished) water at the icecaps.

As the Earth heats, the water evaporates. When that happens it adds to heat retention. Expect the water to make a bold reappearance as we experience tropical storms.

Equivalent places do exist in most US towns, though they're a bit further from the highway. The cuisine doesn't change as rapidly, but there are regional differences.

Sadly, quality varies considerably. People go to the big chains because they're a known quantity. A fair number of those mom-and-pop restaurants don't make from scratch. They heat up what comes off the Sysco truck or the warehouse club. The Internet makes it a bit easier to find a restaurant with real local character, though reading the reviews is kind of an art form: they'll get a lot of praise for generic, boring food and few reviewers will recognize a gem when they find it.

The US can't match the food culture in Italy, but with a bit of knowledge you can eat well here.

> Tax payers should not be spending their hard-earned money keeping the evil murderers alive.

The problem is the justice system is run by human beings and is subject to error and corruption. Convictions can and have been wrong. If the evidence is not 100%-confirmed-not-fake video showing the act, then there is always the possibility someone has lied or been paid off.

So I definitely think if we have to have the death penalty, the decade or longer that often passes by until it's actually administered is a really good idea. We should be 100% sure the best we can before we commit irreversible actions. If the state/taxpayer can't afford to do this then it can't afford to pursue justice.

Your emotional response and generalization about "the West", while justified in the case of actual child killers, is a weakness, because it contributes to moral panics that end up diluting rights and justice, rather than the opposite.

Why not? While brand recognition is valuable, it makes sense to operate in any jurisdiction in which you operate at a profit. At this point, all of the infrastructure to build the platform in the first place is a sunk cost, though if their total operating volume falls dramatically there maybe some work involved in turning down excess capacity to reduce ongoing costs.
I’m of the opinion that meat should be clearly labeled as a simple percentage on the front of anything that contains it.

Imagine: 100% meat hot dogs, or 90% meat hot dogs, or 0% meat hot dogs. 0% meat pizza, 5% meat pizza, 15% meat pizza.

For bonus points, decompose the meat percentages into broad categories... red meat/beef, white meat/pork/chicken, etc.
I'm sure it could but why would the farmers care about the futures market, unless they are using futures to hedge against their own crops?
The market is very good at ignoring or hiding scarcity or other externalities until the damage is done. Nothing is "automatic" about it. The "free market" doesn't exist in a way that would allow the price to organically reflect water's actual scarcity.

>if their new system still has something like the "call option" to guarantee minimums it still seems like it's in everyone's best interest to not tip and get DoorDash paying as much as possible.

DoorDash being scammy doesn't give the customer permission to ignore a social norm. The customer should still tip, just do it in cash outside of the app. It is a little less convenient, but it is better to be inconvenienced than to be an asshole.
Its just amazing to look at population growth in the desert states, Nevada, Arizona, Utah should be barren wasteland, not with rapidly growing cities of millions. Running out of water seems inevitable.
It is not important to keep your skill sets up to date, if by "up to date" you mean "having used everything that got a fair amount of press for a couple of months". You don't have time for that. Nobody does.

So don't chase press releases and puff articles. Chase real world results that fix your problems. If framework X fixes problems Y and Z, and you don't have problem Y or Z, then skip framework X. It's a waste of your time.

I'd say that once every 5 to 10 years, there's something worth moving on to even if it doesn't fix any of your current problems. The rest of the time, skip it unless you know why not.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Off the top of my head:

Fresno County, California is a quiet and overlooked pioneer in water rights and water development. They are a modern "Hanging Gardens of Babylon" in that about 150 years ago or so, it was essentially desert with greenery growing only near the rivers. That changed drastically when they built canals.

After building canals, they found that some low-lying areas turned into ponds. It was a side effect of the canals raising the groundwater level.

From there, they actively created groundwater recharge systems. In the last 100 years, while most aquifers in the US only went down, groundwater levels in Fresno actually improved at times, helping to protect the area's water supply.

I lived in Fresno for over two years while homeless. I considered staying in part because I expect it to be a quiet haven of secure water supplies in coming decades as our water supply issues spiral into ever deepening crises globally. I bet some systems could borrow best practices from them and at least slow the problem.

Water for a thirsty land: the Consolidated Irrigation District and its canal development history is a history of water development in Fresno. It's a fascinating read. I highly recommend it.

Earthships can provide adequate residential water supplies via rain catchment in areas with as little as 8" of annual rainfall.

One of the arguments for eating vegetarian is that beef uses a lot of water to produce. You don't have to go full on vegan to reduce the amount of water burden your diet represents. Just cutting back on your consumption of beef can have an impact.

As a child, I grew up with a set of encyclopedias at home. One article that really stuck in my mind was about successfully growing trees in the desert for agricultural purposes by shaping the ground to be a local catchment system to extend the usefulness of natural rainfall.

You make a square or rectangular catchment area with one corner being the low point. It's not very different from designing a shower with a low point for the drain.

You plant your tree in the low point corner so it is downhill from the rest of the catchment area. When it rains, the catchment fills up and the tree has its own personal water supply for at least a few days.

The interesting and technical part is that you need to develop standards for how large of a catchment to build based on plant species and rainfall levels. Too large of a catchment can cause root rot and kill the tree. Too small and it won't get enough water to thrive.

There are many ways we can work on maintaining a high quality of life while reducing our use of water. We don't have to throw our hands in the air and accept that it is inevitable that we will just hurtle towards some doomsday scenario until we get some mass die-off event for humans, in essence.
