What about computerization of white collar work as a factor? Minicomputers, such as DEC, started spreading into medium-sized businesses and departments. The wealthy got the benefits of such but it didn't trickle down to those laid off or who had to go back to school after their job was automated away. Offshoring of manufacturing to Asia also began increasing around that time. Thus, it could be a combination of offshoring and automation.

There is a downside to insisting on the purity of that definition. In the wild, vegetarian fundamentalism puts people off choosing vegetarian options, because going all the way is too hard for many. Net result is more meat consumption.

Gold is a commodity. A gold bar is simply a unit of trade in a specific sub market. There's not enough volume for gold bar trade to be liquid. So gold bar market is a market of mattresses before the ship in a tube mattresses showed up.

Dealers that trade gold pretend that Gold Bar X is More Valuable Than A Gold Bar Y which is why it is priced higher. The real reason is that dealer feels the dealer can extract more money from a customer and the dealer happens to have Gold Bar X.

Customers of the sucker variety think that by paying for Gold Bar Brand Y more than equivalent Gold Bar Brand X they are getting "more value".

The thing is that the spread between bid/ask of a single gold bar is much higher than the delta in price of a Gold Bar X and a Gold Bar Y.

This has been the case for at least last twenty years.

Non clickbait headline: ‘Possible detection of Black Hole that grew after formation.’

Honestly, I would have been more intrigued by the less clickbait headline for novelty if nothing else.
To address your points:

* Yes, 401k plans usually have high fees, however the tax advantage they provide should more than offset those fees except for the very worst plans. And there are exceptions too: some 401k plans offered by very large companies actually have lower fees than popular low-fee IRA providers.

* When you say "get your money out of your 401k" are you referring to moving it to a low-cost IRA or cashing it out? The former is good advice if you have a 401k from an old job (that is not one of the aforementioned "very good" 401k plans). I don't think there are any reputable financial advisors that would suggest straight-up cashing out a 401k before retirement due to the taxes and penalties. The only circumstance I can think of where that would make sense is if it was necessary to avoid homelessness or pay for necessary medical care and you had already run through your non-retirement savings.

* You absolutely do "own" your money in your 401k as much as you own shares in a brokerage account or deposits in your bank account. If we're at the point where the government would confiscate funds in 401k accounts instead of just issuing new debt then the economy has probably already collapsed to a point beyond recognition.

* Your point about "clueless investment" is a critique of mutual funds and index funds not 401k plans. Someone holding an S&P 500 index fund in their IRA or brokerage account is no smarter than someone holding that fund in their 401k. Additionally, history has shown time and again that the only thing you can say with certainty about the stock market is that its aggregate value increases on average over time. The average person attempting to pick stocks, even at the sector level, is a recipie for them to miss out on the gains they need to have sufficient funds for their retirement.

* Your point about estate and income tax: and having the money in any other form would do what? You need to pay income tax on funds drawn from a (traditional) 401k plan because you deferred the tax when you deposited the funds. Whether you or your heirs are drawing the funds is immaterial in that aspect. If you have funds in a Roth 401k or Roth IRA or a regular brokerage you have already paid the taxes and as such you will not be taxed on withdrawls (except capital gains from brokerage accounts).

Similarly for the estate tax, if you had the money in cash at time of death you would still owe the same amount. On top of that, you'll be dead! What do you care what happens to the money after you're gone? Not to mention you need literal millions of dollars of assets upon death to get hit with the estate tax in the US so this will only apply to the literal 1%.

My stomach, ect, feel better when I eat less meat.

But: I rarely order vegan in a restaurant. I find it's much easier to do vegan at home. Why? Mostly food safety and storage. After cooking vegan for a few weeks, when I cooked meat, I realized just how much of a pain in the *$$ maintaining food safety is.

Skype was non-reliable by 2013 due to P2P. Messages were not being delivered reliably. All our competitors were using a centraised-server model, the biggest threat being WhatsApp at the time.

So we kicked off the same effort before Microsoft bought Skype. The effort them took a LOT longer due to the merger. It finished a few years after the acquisition. Without MS acquiring, we would have gotten it done much faster.

Somehow the internet got this idea “Skype is going centralised to allow wiretapping, because of Microsoft”. We did it as we were fighting to be functional/somewhat reliable, with (chat) messaging becoming so big. I have a longer version in a comment[1] from a few years ago.

I understand why developers want to focus en features and not on security. But new requirements for user privacy make it possible to consider the end-to-end encrypted file storage as a feature for our users. Thanks to Tanker's technology, it becomes almost simple as server-side encryption, with much more security and privacy properties.

At Doctolib, we started to seriously consider new end-to-end encryption implementation in our core product with Tanker and it's very promising. Can't wait to see where it goes !

I've only ever watched one programming talk by a lady. The talk was about Rust, so I was interested. I thought: a lady, wow cool, let's hear it out. Like 5 minutes in, she said something like "we know Nodejs is fast..." and I did a double take. What? Who in their right mind would claim that, except frontend devs who don't know better? And this talk is about Rust, which is even more bizzare, as it's full of competent people who won't take such bullshit. I did not watch until the end, got quite disappointed. So... where are those excellent female specialists? In 15 years of programming, I've met exactly one and that's in a 20 million population city with tons of programming jobs.

iPhones do have a really solid software update programme, they are supported for 4 or 5 years, which is way more than almost all Android phones. Many Android phones are supported only for 18 months. Also, because of the resale value of the phones changing the battery or making minor repairs is much more likely. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if iPhone has been better than Fairphone up to now, for these reasons, although Fairphone is working with excellent long term ambitions which we should all support.

That would be bad for a oil refinery as different crude oil sources have different contents. Some refinery must corrosion resistant metals or the crude will corrode them quickly, others can use cheap iron pipes.

This assumes the refinery isn't in on the fraud. If they are in on it they know what they are getting and there won't be a problem.

Of course I don't know the grades of oil from either place. (if I did know enough I'd probably not be allowed to talk about it...) It could be this substitution is fine for the refineries.

"Vegan" refers to people, not food. Food is only "suitable for vegans".

There are many, many traditional dishes that do not contain meat or even any animal products. I see no reason to suddenly label them "vegetarian" or "vegan".

But when people work hard to make a burger without any animal products then it does make some sense to call the result "vegan food" in that it was made specifically to suit vegan people.
The negative impact that 5G will have on weather forecasting
I've also rapidly seen the number of popular vegan restaurants explode in the city of Toronto, where I live, over the past 3-4 years.

One note a few people are making is that you don't have to be vegan to eat vegan. This is true, and purposeful - vegan food is generally of a relatively high quality - and a lot of what it offers is the direct contrast to most other North American-favoured food.

Like they say Lucky Charms are a 'part of a balanced breakfast', followed by a picture of a table with orange juice, a banana, etc...so it is that, if I have a busy work day, and we order some greasy pizza in, I can go hit he Freshii on my way out and balance out the sausage, grease, and cheese that way.

I think more and more people are simply realizing just how unhealthy our diet is, here in North America, and as these potions become more available, and awareness of them is increasing, I think all this indicates is expected are finally waking up from a sense of brainwashing that's gone on in advertising everywhere, getting us to honestly shove the worst things in our bodies over the past few decades.

There are environmental concerns with Vegan food, particularly in transit of the more obscure and in demand things like Avacados - so I do get a giggle when people are all uppity about how ethical they're being - but obviously there are ethical and environmental concerns with the treatment of animals, as well.

Overall, it's no surprise to see this data, I'd argue in-restaurant demand, at least in this city, has similarly exploded.

It's good. It means we are collectively eating a little better, and that's something that affects both the mind and the body.
Digital Marketing in the Age of the GDPR
Can you please elaborate on what you mean by time-boxing and how you achieve it? I'm assuming it means to assign a time scope to a key and then revoke it's access outside of that time period. This would require access to the API authentication methods, correct? Otherwise, for API's that you don't have backend access to (e.g., GitHub API) you should just generate a token for testing and manually delete it when you are done?

Nice spot to be in. I’m not an expert but based on what I’ve heard about selling small software businesses I think you’ll have a tough time getting an attractive price on a sale.

On the other hand, finding someone with the right skill set to step in as a replacement CEO/founder - and incentivizing them properly - will be tough. But given that the business seems capable of running on autopilot currently, I think this option is still best. The question just becomes how do you find the right person and structure a deal to align everyone’s incentives. Happy to offer further input if you ping me. (Email in profile.)
The definition that makes it unique is the shortest representation where trailing zeros are bout included. In your example that would be 1 note that this definition comes up in binary floating point where there are infinite decimal representations that will round back to a given binary64 float but the decimal representation chosen is the shortest (and closest to the binary64 float in the case of ties for length).

Related to that problem, a major source of confusion with IEEE floats is that languages go to great lengths[1] to present them as decimals and hide the underlying binary denominator. Even when you know they're binary internally, it throws you off.

High level languages are also annoying in that they don't provide great support for working with them as binary denominated rationals, e.g. there's no round_base2 in python, and there's no hex float representation in printf.

Of course not.

Different orgs will approach this problem differently. At my company, someone on our infra/devops team made pretty good abstractions eight years ago, and now we're using those same abstractions on top of K8s. So our devs really don't need to know anything about the substrate. But when I go to conferences and meetups, I talk to folks who basically expose the entirety of K8s to devs and expect them to self-serve.

Engineering involves critical thinking. You should have a firm belief that what you wish to create can be created. However, that is simply a foundation upon which to throw as many "why will it fail?" permutations as you can generate. This isn't pessimism, it's the culling of error, like a sculpture from a block of marble.
My city’s police department is actually very transparent about this. They have a campaign on social media and snail mail to inform citizen to sign up for the use of outside cameras to assist law enforcement in case they need footages for a crime in an area covered by your cameras. Once they determine that your camera footages could help they would send you a request to share the videos with them for investigation. I think pretty much everyone in my community welcomes this idea as we have had an uptick in car break ins lately.
