I worked in Amazon's Audiobook space for a while.

The thing with Audiobooks is, Audible never bought a physical item from a publisher they have an licensing agreement, which puts then into a very different space. That agreement could be with
1. Major Publishers Audiobook publishing group, for a recorded audiobook
2. An independent audiobook publisher, for a recorded audiobook
3. Directly with the author for rights to publish, for the rights to publish
4. Directly with the publisher for rights to publish, for the rights to publish
Further, there are Geographic rights publishers only have rights to publish in specific regions. A UK publisher could buy worldwide rights for ebook, print, audio from the author and then license US eBook/Print rights to one publisher and Audio rights to someone else.

The eBook publication rights usually are with the authors publisher, but they can be owned by another publisher (see Open Roads media), or the author.

The problems here is separate publishers have rights to the ebook and audiobook rights. Take Harry Potter, Tim Ditlow from Listening Library bought the audiobook rights for $15k before the book was “big”. Ignore that his company was bought to keep this understandable. If you buy the audiobook and use this feature, the eBook publisher gets nothing which sets up some big conflicts.

Traditional publishers have been pushing for audiobook rights to be part of book deals for a while, the concerning thing I see here is that a response to this could kill the independent audiobook publishers which would take a lot of checks out of authors hands.
My very first book that I begged my mother to buy for me was Debian GNU/Linux bible with a Debian 2.2 CD.

Debian was great for a long time but since 2014 I've been a RedHat convert using CentOS and Fedora where applicable. I firmly believe them to be better than Debian or Ubuntu. Partly because I made the effort to learn things like SElinux and iptables.
In texas we only have property taxes. Commercial property tends to be undertaxed because the appraisal districts are not allowed to see actual sales prices. Property taxes tend to be around 2-2.5% and for non homestead properties there is no limit to the increase.

We regularly hear about older people getting taxed out of their homes (though there are programs to somewhat hold their taxes constant).

In austin we are starting to have an affordability crisis, whereas cities like houston are doing much better.

The taxation is the same, what is different is the restrictive zoning in austin. In austin permitting can take 6-9 months and single family zoning restricts what can be built. The city council tried to revise zoning and failed due to NIMBYs, but they are trying again this year.

This is a reminder that the more competing systems of laws we have the better. Every program implemented at the federal level only gives us one chance to get it right. The state level gives us 50 chances and the local level gives us thousands of chances.
The problem with widespread Esperanto adoption (in the Western world at least) isn't that English is an easy language, but it's so pervasive of a language. There is a lot of English-language media to study, and a lot of people speak English to practice with. If one person speaks French and another speaks Polish, it would probably be easier and more beneficial for each of them to learn English than each of them to learn Esperanto. And once they do, they'll be able to communicate with others who know English but don't know Esperanto, which is a huge number of people.

I've studied Esperanto in the past and I love the concept, but getting TV shows, movies, and books in Esperanto is much much much harder than getting them in English. Which means people are exposed to English far more often and in more real-life scenarios than they would be in Esperanto.

This is a similar problem with any non-English language, I've found. I speak German and trying to keep up with the language in America is nearly impossible because I can't find any good source of German language books or TV shows or movies here in the US. And beyond trying to legally purchase them, it's difficult to even pirate German language media. It just doesn't exist.
Can you explain, why CPU's do not scale so well?
Maybe check discord communities or IRC? I've found people to be willing to loosely mentor machine learning topics on discord, but it's more along the lines of "read these papers and I will discuss them with you", so there is a certain level of knowledge already expected.

That being said, mentoring is a really big effort to do it well. Most people don't even want to do it when they are getting paid to do it. The way I tend to approach learning something new like this would be to make actual attempts at writing low level code and then share it with a knowledgeable person for feedback. Programmers are much better at giving feedback on code than mentoring people.
As pointed out elsewhere, taco beef shouldn't be expected to be near 100% beef. Adding various seasonings and spices is what makes it "taco."

Your linked article makes the point that other chains hit the expected values for prepared chicken, Subway was an outlier.
We manage to factory produce prosciutto, which takes 18 months, cheeses that require years to mature, alcohol that takes decades, etc. 24 hours is no obstacle to a factory.
No. This book ends suddenly half way through. I absolutely cannot recommend it.

>Being mixed with concrete and distributed evenly throughout it, they can lay there in a dormant state for up to 200 years; only when the concrete cracks, air and moisture awaken the bacteria which use the calcium lactate as a food source and start to produce limestone, sealing off the cracks in 3 weeks’ time. The technology, currently able to seal cracks of any length but only up to 0.8 mm wide, was a finalist for the European Inventor Award 2015, an initiative of the European Patent Office (EPO).

That's brilliant. I wonder what the cost increase would be for including this solution v. the cost of traditional repairs.
I learned C by reading K&R.
I have read the pronunciation is bad in the 1966 film Incubus/Inkubo, (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubus_(1966_film)) but William Shatner acts like he's a native speaker in it.
I can tell you why "patriotism, religion and having children" have never been values for me (32 yr old)... Specifically, two are very closely related:

Religion - I don't buy it. I never have, even from a young age. The idea of a mystical all powerful being floating in the sky watching us has always seemed absurd. And frankly, science has really done a number on my ability to believe in traditional religions. Do I believe some higher-being may exist? Sure. Do I believe in an afterlife? No, I don't think anything points to that existing. Maybe it does, but likely it doesn't. But trust me I understand how this lack of a philosophy for life has sucked a lot of community, and to some extent, love for life itself, right out of it.

Children - If there is no afterlife, then what IS the point of this life? Seriously? Why form bonds, and relationships, and become close with people... if only to die and for it all to vanish? Of course since I'm alive, I take every chance to form relationships and bonds. But I don't believe in continuing this depressing cycle. I don't believe in this "system" of pulling someone into the world, only for them to have to say goodbye to everything they've built and everyone they love. I disagree with it at the core of my being, and I've never had a "religion" to help me think otherwise.

So yea... having kids, settling down, religion... that's all gone for me.
You should also look into taking advantage of any CS tutoring resources that your school has. It's likely much more cost-effective than trying to grab random people off of an internet board.
So the future home purchaser ends up paying all of those deferred taxes? Yikes.
Sounds like a great material for floating arcologies.
Context is noticeably awkward when a reader already knows how to read. Take the example in the article.

> But Rodney said: "My dog likes to lick his bone."

The context makes perfect sense and matches the picture. The issue is 'Rodney' didn't actually read half the words.
That's how you get increased GDP - force people to get services, that they should not need to get.(think tax services in US for individuals)

If you forced everyone to pay for each Thank you and Please, your GDP would skyrocket!
One way would be to buy people off: figure out the net economic benefit to the city, county or state of changing the rules, and as part of the rule change grant some fraction of those dollars to those who change in the way we want.

I can see two bug problems with this, one practical and one political. The practical one is that estimating benefit is a black art — we really can't trust anyone, partisan or non-partisan, to make accurate predictions of future economic benefits (there's a secondary practical sub-problem, which is that such an estimate would be ripe for capture). The political problem is that we'd end up rewarding those who have been benefiting all these years (e.g. all the homeowners with unrealistically low property taxes for the last four decades).
It’s weird to me to use Super to close a tab rather than for the desktop environment. Super is very consistent on my DE of choice: it’s not for application specific keyboard shortcuts, but for keyboard shortcuts of the window manager. That way there are never any collisions and things are easy to remember.
> Spoiled food is definitely gross, though.

There are probably more than a few foods you eat that are technically "spoiled" - it's just termed differently, like "fermented" or "aged".
I don't call it this, but maybe:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language-oriented_programming

i.e. composing different DSLs to solve a problem. The codebase is separated into parts and each part may be expressed in a different language.

I tend to call it "metaprogramming", which might be vague but is captures the spirit IMO. Metaprogramming how you implement bespoke DSLs. I categorize textual code generation as the most basic form of metaprogramming, i.e. programming where your data is code.

It's one level removed -- rather than talking about the problem, you're talking about the tools/language/construct you're using to solve the problem.

And yes I would say the other downside is that it's easy to go off the deep end :) But I think that certain problems are difficult and you need some leverage to solve them. For example, writing a bash-compatible shell would be extremely repetitive otherwise. It's like a dozen different ways of groveling through backslashes and braces one-by-one.
not just emailing. any service that could theoretically be utilized by spammers/scammers will be. (Source: my own SaaS)
It's true. 95% of the restaurants are like this.

The solution:
stop going out until restaurants get their act together.
OR
Goto Subway. Just make sure to tell them to hold the oils, the salt, the cheese and make sure it's on whole wheat with limited amount of meat. then you should be fine.
OR
get some sushi - just watch out for the oils they pour on top. and beaware, they sometimes add sugar in the rice.
OR
Mixt - a darn good salad bar restaurant.
> but feel that the current government is not upholding those ideals in a way they approve of.

In some cases, the government is actively undermining those ideals. We’re separating thousands of young children from their parents and holding them in horrible conditions in some cases. My stomach turns thinking all we’re going to learn about this chapter in American history over the next 10 years because we’re not seeing all of it unfold in real time.

Add to that gerrymandering, political interference to keep our election infrastructure weak after multiple reports of hacking by foreign governments.

Much of this adds up to an existential crisis in democracy that we’re just now waking up to.
Members of the younger generation (myself included) have little experience with administrations who demonstrate their fealty to the abstract ideals of the USA. We have, with few exceptions, not been led by people who have the US populace -- in contrast to its economy and hegemony -- at the forefront of their minds. NAFTA, and globalization more broadly, and its effects has progressed to the point where the promises of prosperity in the age of unfettered trade should have shown some signs of success at the personal level by now -- and yet, here we are. We see and hear about other parts of the world which are harmed by these policies. The authorities on the matter, however, explain it away by pointing at GDP growth curves. But these great results aren't reflected in our lives: burdened by debt and historically low net worths, we've lost faith in those who came before us who keep telling us it's all part of the game. Not so if we were born 70 years ago.

To a large extent, I'd say that this has resulted in a cynical and rather extreme position of "actions speak louder than words". Those who represent the USA, being elected officials in keeping with the mythos of the modern representative democracy, are doing a poor job of showing their decency, if there is any hidden inside to begin with. The notable exception is of course Bernie Sanders, who, even if somewhat ineffective during his time in office, was and is steadfast, honest, and genuinely caring about the people individually and as a whole. He demonstrates his alignment with the people's needs far more than anyone else in the political field today, even as hamstrung as he was, aside from maybe Elizabeth Warren. The rest are opportunists, lying through their teeth and brushing off serious blemishes on their record to their own detriment. See: Bernie's policy platforms 4 years ago and how much is reflected in nearly all candidates' platforms today.

We're pretty peeved that this blatant deceit is lost on the older generations. From our (my) perspective, the USA has always been shoddy and the people haven't cared about grave injustices as long as their lot in life is stable. Only a few shining stars have risen in those 250-ish years that have made any real progress on ethical issues.
Thermal or chemical dissolution might be easier.

Fabrication with preinstalled thermite charges would generally suffice. You'd know there had been a device there, but it would be difficult to reverse-engineer.

I got started with Linux in 2007. Only internet I had in 2007 was a terribly unreliable dial-up and GPRS on my mobile. I was able to install a torrent app on my Symbian N80 which allowed me to download ~700mb Ubuntu images. It took 2-3 days for the downloads to finish and I'd leave my phone plugged in most of the time. That year was probably the most fun I've had with computers. Linux desktop was buzzing with things like Beryl and Compiz back then.

If Elon Musk gets taken down, then humanity should probably just throw in the towel.

We (humanity) are in a boat that is taking on water rapidly. The guy working the hardest to patch the leaks is Elon Musk and all those that work at his companies (they definitely aren't working there for the money or the lifestyle)

Solar City is a part of this vision.

Articles like this and the comments section here at hacker news are making me very depressed about our prospects.

The property might be tied up in a court dispute, a bankruptcy, or inheritance. As an example, a building near where I work sat vacant for years; I did a web search for the building's address, and found an article mentioning that the company which owned the building had been bankrupt.
The biggest issue is lack of huge caches, and the extreme latency to main memory due to the speed of light.

GPU’s are fine or even better for a wide range of compute tasks see CUDA etc, they just end up being very slow at a subset of common tasks.
You’re conflating two different things. One is the meat used in the Taco Bell filling, which is 100% beef. Two is the overall composition of the filling, which you’d obviously not expect to be 100% beef. (If you put onions in your taco filling, by that same math, your taco filling isn’t 100% beef either.)

There is also nothing “gross” about the additives used in the filling, which are primarily there to improve texture. They are widely used and perfectly safe: https://firstwefeast.com/eat/2014/05/tacobell-beef-ingredien.... (For some reason people go “eww” when soy lecithin is used at Taco Bell, but don’t utter a peep when it’s used in some fancy foam in a high end restaurant. It’s all in peoples’ heads, and there is also a large amount of classism involved.)
IPC means "instructions per cycle," so it's correct to divide the scores by frequency. Totally agree that in total performance, no realized BOOM chip comes close to mainstream Intel chips. I think Chris is working at Esperanto Technologies (https://www.esperanto.ai/technology/); hopefully, they upstream performance improvements to the BOOM open-source repo.
> In the U.S. we have Medicaid for low-income earners. So the bottom 20% the article mentions would largely qualify for free health care:

Medicaid isn't necessarily free healthcare:

“States can impose copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, and other similar charges on most Medicaid-covered benefits, both inpatient and outpatient services, and the amounts that can be charged vary with income. All out of pocket charges are based on the individual state’s payment for that service.”

Because there are a thousand other practical solutions people have presented that you're ignoring in deference to your ideological motive that you don't like taxes.
I don't think this is the case here. I think it means the younger generations are not patriotic - not simply that they don't support the current administration.

As a young American, I would rate my patriotism as 0, because Nationalism is antithetical to the ideas of Liberty and Democracy.
Enron employed boots on the ground construction workers and line men. They started as an LNG pipeline company. All of those blue collar workers lost their pensions when they went bankrupt. You can see some of them in the Enron documentary “Smartest Guys In The Room”.

They were not some hedge fund merely shuffling paper around. GE is a very apt comparison.
And if he succeeds, the Mars colony could come to be worth more to SpaceX than its satellite launch business. By a lot.

While the concept of settling Mars is understandable from an academic perspective, what is the economic justification for claiming that Mars is valuable? Any Martian colony would require hundreds of billions of Earth investment just to become habitable for a few dozen people and there aren't any resources on Mars that could be excavated more cheaply there than on Earth.
With all due respect, I did not vote for the president but now find myself more aligned with the Republicans than any 2020 Democrat. Its a smear that they are anti-Diversity. A lot of the young men I know feel disenfranchised in a system that does not value them even though they are not in any positions of power. All are sympathetic to historical injustices and see the President doing things like First Step Act and Opportunity Zones as legislation that disproportionately benefits minority groups, but does not detract from other groups. I think he's brash and unpolite, but a lot of people I know see this as fighting back against an onslaught that is one-sided and doesn't get called out.
I've gotten offers from places like this, the pay deduction is staggering. If I got an offer that paid even the median of what I can make on the coasts, in a place like upstate New York I would get out of the coasts in a heartbeat and buy a house.
It makes sense the same way it makes sense for KFC to replace honey with "honey sauce", (main ingredient corn syrup). I personally have no interest in eating plant-based substitutes for my food.
They were not expendable (although they could be). They were refurbished. However, because of splashdown, the damage from corrosion and the need to refurbish the rocket because it wasn't tanked, caused the cost to not be feasible.
Following the French style:

10 is sixteen.

11 is sixteen one

A is not ten in hexadecimal.

"ten" always means 10 in any base. the number after "nine" is "deci".
There's an argument that outside of actual safety issues, maybe it's best to leave this up to the market.

My wife and I looked at a house once in Padova, where we lived, that was right next to the train tracks. You couldn't help but feel the trains go by, let alone hearing them. It was not for us, but it was super cheap, and might have been an option for someone without a lot of other good options - or a great option for someone hearing impaired who didn't care too much.
why can't i take my dog anywhere? He is more well behaved and cleaner then many people and children. Typically alleged sanitary/health issues wrt. dogs presence are obviously moot once you take a look say at France where dogs are welcome in restaurants for example and nobody is dying from cholera/etc..
A lot of the these programs don't cover a good chunk of the working poor. If you worked full time at a minimum wage job in california for example, you'd be over the limits and wouldn't have healthcare as a result.
Little known secret: Subway's Cold Cut Combo is all turkey

COLD CUT COMBO: Turkey Bologna: Mechanically separated turkey, water, contains less than 2% of: salt, corn syrup solids, potassium lactate, dextrose, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite, flavorings. Turkey Ham: Cured turkey thigh meat, salt, contains less than 2% of: potassium lactate, brown sugar, sodium tripolyphosphate, dextrose, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, smoke flavor, sodium nitrite, water. Turkey Salami: Dark turkey, mechanically separated turkey, water, salt, contains less than 2% of: potassium lactate, sugar, sodium tripolyphosphate, dextrose, spice and flavorings, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, smoke flavor, sodium nitrite

So plant based milks can't be called milk, plant based proteins can't be called meats, but hot dogs can be called hot dogs and have no dog meat in them, riced cauliflower is under attack, Parmesan (cheese byproduct and sawdust) in a can is considered not misleading, a California Port wine is impossible but nobody cares, etc

Subway's Salami, Ham, and Bologna can be made with turkey instead of the cuts you'd expect because money.

It's always about money. They want consumers buying their products in stores and if you buy enough product for your restaurants you can call it anything you want.

America.
The source data linked in the article are a bit fishy. On page 36, you see where (I assume) the author derived his consumption data, though the source is by household and somewhere along the line he converted it to per-capita. In that source table, organized by quintile, the consumption for the highest quintile is about twice that of the lowest. But in the same document, on page 35, the income by quintile shows the top 20% earning 10x the income of the lowest 20% (including government benefits). So the wealthiest 20% earn ten times as much, but spend only twice as much? Where does the rest of the money go? It seems highly unlikely that both tables are accurate.
Well not everybody can do this kind of top down learning. But more power to you, though, because that's a great capability.
I haven't seen anything to like in Clojure spec. Maybe I don't get it, but i really dont get it.
Also easier to crack if an attacker knows that detail.
That’s a really low annual household income, particularly for California. But perhaps it's tweakable.
