The full price of an employee are typically around 1.4x salary per (and that if you really know what you are doing, many smaller businesses probably hit closer to 2x; mostly because that's not counting the flat expenditures, that a larger business, or someone that knows what they are doing, won't screw up, like the fact that hiring any employees (including 0 in many jurisdictions) often requires a significant amount of extra paper work every year/quarter/month). Anyway your adjusted numbers would be closer to:

62k -> 87k and
51k -> 72k

So adding in the flat extra work (a lot of which isn't necessarily money based as it's simply just time dealing with things), it probably comes out to 80k, which is doubling his art budget.
That, too, is hard without Apple hardware. KVM is probably the only virtual machine software that runs macOS with minimal fuss and patching outside of Apple hardware and it still requires a fair bit of work (though scripts exist to automate all of it.)

Many guides to creating Hackintosh setups hinge on having at least one existing Mac. The only saving grace for KVM is that people have developed tools to download macOS directly from the Mac App Store CDN and deal with the DMG image.
A small run exotic car won't be as easy and cheap to service as a mass market car. But 2500 isn't 25. Lots of manufacturers of exotic cars in a LOT smaller runs than 2500. And they make sure to procduce the parts required to service the cars for a very long time if they want to look like a serious car manufacturer.
Mountain View isn’t even close to a challenging environment. I would like to see Waymo try SF on the same routes as Cruise.
They are still severely under prescribed in nations across the world. To the point that they are not available at all in many countries due to puritanical lobbying. Which means people across the globe are still suffering an absolute horrible fate, despite how easy it is even for a developing country to produce pain medication. The world still hasnt recovered from the last US crusade against pain medication, so i am more then a bit worried about what happens in the US right now. The fact that large parts of the world today have worse pain management options available to their population then what was available in the middle ages should scare you a lot more then some guy having fun with his medication.

People misusing pain medication is a small price to pay to have pain medication available for people who need it. There wont be an optimal solution by pushing down on pharma companies and doctors, it will be quite a lot worse then today.

To put it simply, if you are lobbying to combat the so called "opioid crisis" you should think damn hard about the consequences of your actions. Because if or better when there is another backlash peoples suffering caused by a lack of pain medication will be on your hands.
I was thinking about this too. In fact, to do my review of Edge and Firefox, I had to dig into the file-system to grok where/how profiles are persisted. These are different than Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, and Brave (which all share a common Chromium ancestry). I am also curious (as a Windows user) how the Registry is affected by each browser. That too is something I'd like to investigate.

There's nothing like a proper language, any language that let's you communicate clearly is a proper language and so is Javascript. However javascript has tons of wart, and as much as I personally hate it. I believe it's a great lang for prototype. My approach these days is to prototype with javascript and rewrite in whatever my target language is.
Please clarify if I'm missing your point, but you can build Brave today. See github.com/brave/brave-browser. Let me know if you run into any issues.
>It's not Esperanto itself that works...

I made sure to mention that I believe any conlang would suffice. Conlangs are easier to learn than natural languages as that's largely the very reason they are constructed in the first place, outside of fantasy conlangs which are constructed for...well... fantasy reasons. So you're right, it's not Esperanto itself.

>Or should I say, imagine Standard Basque: as an independent language, people might have a better time learning Basque because at least they uses latin alphabets.

Literally any second language in the entire world would help learn a third language as at that point you have the advantages of being bilingual learning a third langauge instead of monolingual learning a second language. Again, the point of a conlang is finding a language you can learn to an intermediate level at a very quick pace compared to natural languages. There's no weird quirks and dozens if not hundreds of grammatical exceptions due to etymological reasons. You never have to wonder why it is "mouse" and "mice" and "house" and "houses" instead of "hice".

>Oh, and don't forget you yourself are actually becoming one of the reasons why people "shit on conlang" - close-to-irrational fanboys :)

Rational would imply I don't have any logical reasons behind my support of conlangs. Personal experience and countless shared experiences of others who had similar experiences to mine as well as studies showing the benefits makes me more inclined to believe that Esperanto, even a brief stint with it, helps. Is it irrational to believe that morning stretches and daily meditation is good for one's health?

You never confirmed if you were raised bilingually. It matters a lot in regards to what I am talking about.
So technically, that's a "Y Not-Combinator"?
This and the comments below are missing the source of this disagreement. The way that conditionals are most commonly structured in English has rapidly shifted over the last 10 years. The simplest way to explain is with examples.

Old style: "If I had tried, I would have succeeded."

New style: "If I would have tried, I would have succeeded."

The extra "would" style used to be restricted only to adding strong emphasis, as in "if you would just LISTEN to me...". Slowly, this extra "would" has crept into other areas, like replacing the subjunctive as in the example:

Old style: "It would be great if this were done."

New style: "It would be great if this would be done."

The new style is "incorrect" English as of a couple of decades ago, but its usage is increasing. It still sounds terribly wrong to my ear, but what determines whether grammar is "correct" is the way in which people actually speak.

> The data provide the most detailed view yet of the passenger experience inside vehicles from Waymo, which doesn’t disclose the information even though it uses public roads as its testing grounds.

Why would it riding on public roads matter when it's about what happens inside a private vehicle during a high-value R&D experiment? They got permission from Arizona to run the tests and it will likely benefit Arizona's economy in return being the first to get the most training data.
Why would it be more during night? It's much cooler at night compared to the day when AC is used at most buildings.

That's an easy dream to sell, but I don't buy that home rooftop solar and batteries will be cheaper for consumers than something at scale. The downside is centralized production needs transmission infrastructure, but that's already built, and between centralized installation and maintenance and a better location, the mass approach seems better.

The only legitimate synergy between Tesla and SolarCity is that they target the same sort of people--a Tesla owner is probably more likely to have rooftop solar than a F-150 owner, or even an Accord owner.

There are many things a human is better at, for example creativity and art. Maybe a computer will eventually be a better painter, but it's impossible for a computer to be a human. A work of art draws its power from how it speaks to the human experience, as such I don't think a computer will ever make good art in that sense.

Even speaking to something more concrete, just because a computer can play chess better than I can (as can the vast majority of humans), doesn't mean a game of chess with a friend is worthless. It's about the conversation, the challenge of matching wits, pushing your mind to see new things, all those things have meaning.

That's the point.

Rust has no type-based aliasing restrictions at all. However, it does require references to be either unique or read-only, which means that it can automatically treat them as noalias (LLVM equivalent of __restrict). Unfortunately, this feature is disabled due to an LLVM bug:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54878

On the other hand, if you use the more idiomatic `&mut [u8]`, that passes the pointer and size by value, so it should avoid the issue.

Edit: Using an iterator also avoids the problem, unlike in C++, because Rust iterators store their bounds within the iterator itself rather than calling iterable.end() on each iteration.
Regardless of what exactly rustc does right now, in the future Rust's strict aliasing rules will basically ensure Rust does this optimization in every possible case, because Rust reasons at compile time to ensure no mutable references ever alias. Things have been held up for a while on this LLVM bug, though[0].

Still using windows 7 for as long as I can. Pretty livid that they're discontinuing support and forcing people to 10 soon, I have 10 on another machine and it really feels like losing control of my PC. Very locked down, filled with ads and interruptions, affiliate software and marketing junk. Seems like one of the last bastions of autonomy and privacy in the computer world, the desktop OS, is jumping fully onto the surveillance capitalism bandwagon now. Pretty depressing. Would switch to Linux but it's pretty much a nonstarter for game dev.
It is Wine, but with patches, that one day could be clean enough to go upstream. Some eventually are merged upstream.

Why not put it into more graspable terms? 28,397 tons of CO2 is what you get when you burn about 76 barrels of oil. (Each barrel is the standard 42-gallon size.)

Now compare these 76 barrels to the 19.96 million barrels of oil consumed each day in the US.

Notice that the contribution of spam is so small!

For example, the average American burns (or has burned on their behalf) the equivalent of about 2.8 gallons of oil per day. At that rate, a group of just 1140 people will emit 28,397 tons of CO2 in a day.

(I hope I got all these figures right. Don't be angry if they're off a little bit.)

Making your headline dependent on innumeracy isn't a nice thing to do. Framing things with an obvious spin is fine. But cherry-picking your units to make your numbers seem big isn't honest.

I should mention one more point, which is that a fair amount of the time spent making bread, is waiting. If you can interleave it with other tasks happening at home, then it isn't a huge time sink.
> Let's say you're driving through an intersection with a green light, and there's a pedestrian waiting to cross. The robot has the right of way and goes, but suddenly the pedestrian decides to cross in front of the vehicle. Even if the reaction time was 0.00 seconds it's too late to avoid a collision.

Why does a robot driver need to anticipate this? Does a human driver need to?

I honestly don't mind the condition so long as it's not missing pages. If I'm buying used, i'm buying it to read, not collect. I'm buying it because new is too expensive or it's an old book so I care about the content more. I don't even mind some markings and usage, I personally like books that look like they have read. I just hate when it's missing pages or it's cheap, but the shipping is ridiculous!
It’s good that J&J are being fined for false advertising.

What I do not feel is completely justified in this story is that the blame is put solely on the pharmaceutical.

Yes they played their part. They most likely knew how addicting their drug is from day 1 during their clinical trials.

Why is direct marketing to consumers in the USA even allowed?

Why are pharmaceutical companies still allowed to wine and dine doctors to persuade them to prescribe their drugs?

What about the other players?

Why do doctors even prescribe these heavy drugs, despite knowing that there are serious addictions risks? I doubt doctors would prescribe heroin if someone has pain.

Why do patients insist on getting the heavy drugs to numb pain instead of taking or accepting doctors advice and take a less strong pain killer and accept some pain.

I think we should have a good look at how the healthcare system is organized and scrutinize all players.

This doesn't quite say they do exactly that, but they do tie location data to offline purchases.

> Since 2014, Google has flagged for advertisers when someone who clicked an ad visits a physical store, using the Location History feature in Google Maps. Still, the advertiser didn’t know if the shopper made a purchase. So Google added more. A tool, introduced the following year, let advertisers upload email addresses of customers they’ve collected into Google’s ad-buying system, which then encrypted them. Additionally, Google layered on inputs from third-party data brokers, such as Experian Plc and Acxiom Corp., which draw in demographic and financial information for marketers.

Crabs in the bucket culture.
The process of languages acquiring idiosyncrasies takes a really long time. I'd suspect it's even slower for auxiliary languages. Esperanto would likely remain relatively simple for centuries. Just compare English from the time of the British Empire to now. It's still basically the same language, despite (or because of?) the huge number of people learning it as a second language.
Glad you like them, one of the most underrated abstractions in software if you ask me. Floats are just plain evil for most use cases. I spent 13 years maintaining a 2Mloc accounting system written using an exotic mix of float types and layers upon layers of failed attempts to control the resulting rounding chaos.

Agreed, same is true of many general purpose languages. One advantage is a stronger compiler with more static guarantees than Python that produces significantly faster code.

What is gained from restricting the use case is simplification of syntax and semantics. Once you don't have to cover all bases any more, you don't have to make as many compromises. I'm barely getting started here, once I get around to defining functions/equations/integrals etc. it will become more obvious.

Easier embedding/integration is another good reason. Let's say you need to evaluate formulas in some application. Adding Python as a build dependency is serious business and writing your own means reinventing a lot of infrastructure along the way.

Finally, building on top of cidk [0] means smooth integration with any language targeting the same framework. The calc opcode mentioned in the README is a good example.
