I'm guessing your parents are still saving money overall, even accounting for the stuff thrown away.

Having transitioned from the "buy supper and breakfast on my way home" to "week's worth of food in the fridge" myself, I see two components to this. One, buying just-in-time is easier when you're single, gets more complicated when you have a partner, and much more so when you have kids. Two, the "keeping fridge stocked" model affords going to a cheaper store less frequently, and buy in bulk, saving considerable amount of money on a monthly basis.

Yes.

So this happens to me. I think I’ll be cooking s bunch of things, but then I’m in a crunch and don’t have as much time as I thought so I whip up quicker options. That means that okra, eggplant or whatever it was I though I was going to make doesn’t and I’m making something else. When I look after the middle of the week I might have a couple of these items piled up, in addition to the things I already had planned to cook, so I’m left with more things than I can cook and by the time I might get to them, they’re past their useful date.
Love the DFW Microcenter, always seem to find some discounted item there for cheap when I go.

I built a PC once from parts that I bought at Fry's. It was a really fun experience going down to store, seeing what parts were on sale, chatting with a no-nonsense saleswoman, walking out with a big shopping cart full of PC components, and assembling it and booting it up that same day.

Some quirks of shopping at Fry's that I remember:

* The sales associates always insisting on printing me out a fairly meaningless "quote" that matched the sticker on the shelf, and having me present it at the register. I'm not sure if their sales commissions were tied to printing out quotes, or if it was intended to prevent pricing mistakes, but any interaction with a sales person always resulted in a quote.

* Watching people at the returns counter navigate through their completely arcane computer system (a text-based "green screen" in the age of the iPhone) with surprising grace.

* Perhaps the least atmospheric cafe ever built, placed smack dab in the middle of the store with no windows to the outside world or natural lighting. I don't think I ever saw anybody eating there.

* The loud background music that would play... some kind of (classical?) solo piano music that didn't fit either the Western theme or the general feel of the store. Between the lighting and the music I always left the store with a headache

Despite some of the negatives above, I always really enjoyed shopping at Fry's and would try to buy things there whenever I had the chance. What eventually ruined Fry's for me though was just the lack of inventory. I would want to buy something and Newegg or Amazon would have it in stock, but Fry's wouldn't. A couple times their website would even list an item as being in stock, and I would brave the 101 traffic to drive down to Palo Alto only to find it was actually sold out. I also eventually switched to using mostly Apple products, which offer fewer choices, are harder to tinker with, and are priced pretty consistently across all retail outlets (with the exception of Microcenter who used to run some pretty decent in-store-only sales on MacBooks before their Santa Clara store closed down).
Come on, you can't really believe the 'my relative lived til...' holds any weight in supporting a position. Like if I can provide examples of 4 hard workers that died in their 40's does that make me more right?

Not trying to be rude but lets hold ourself to better evidence standard on HN.

Scientific wild-ass guess: Polyols (ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerine) are very hydrophilic. It would be trivial to detect presence in oil concentrates - just shake with a known quantity of distilled water. The polyols will be pulled into the water layer and increase the volume. It's not quantitative but if you know the 'ol in question you can calibrate a curve and get within a few percent of actual with just graduated cylinders.
> American students will work on Iran nuclear research. And we will "forbid" any spy from Iran govt how does it play? Will Iran govt play "nice" care about good points?

Just to be clear, is the argument here, "we should be more like Iran?" We're not playing 'nice', we're talking about what strategies are actually in the US's best interests.

The author makes the point that very little of this research is actually private, and that society as a whole benefits from open sharing anyway. A lot of our research happens via cooperation with other countries -- and if you throw that away because you're worried about some bad actors, eventually you're just going to be cutting off your own nose to spite your face.

Private research moves slower than collaborative research.

The author goes on to make the point that a much more effective way of keeping talent in the US is to keep talent in the US. Make it easier for entrepreneurs and researchers who immigrate to the US to stay here permanently and join our economy. If you really want to be competitive with China, think of it this way: every talented scientist or engineer that immigrates to the US from China, is one less talented researcher at the disposal of China's economy.

Whoever heard of a competitive business that decided not to hire the best workers indiscriminately, and not to make it attractive and easy for them to stay in the company for long periods of time? Yet the current US immigration strategy is to bring in effectively "interns", build a hostile work environment where they are distrusted, and then offer them no alternative except to go back to their original countries with the knowledge they've gained. Any business owner can tell you that's a recipe for disaster.

> You may hate Disney, Microsoft, Cisco, etc. But they bring jobs, revenues, and wealth with their IP.

Disney, Microsoft, and Cisco are all independent companies. If they wanted to give their secrets to the Chinese government, the US government would have no way to stop them.

They don't have any special, contractual allegiance to the US beyond written law -- and there is no written law that would compel them to spy on foreign-born employees. I expect the majority of these companies already conduct some research in other countries with the cooperation of other governments.
I didn't find you abrasive and I appreciate you sharing your information and insights with us.
If HR departments wouldn’t set hard limits on percentage raises that are allowed and then hire new developers at market rates causing salary compression and inversion, developers wouldn’t have to be constantly on the look out for their next job and always stay focused on Resume Driven Development.
This approach is what creates technical debt.

It's a method useful for startups only.

Businesses who have moved on from startup status need to switch to a quality first approach.

Deprecation should only be on the table if your original design was flawed. And then only if you are certain you are fixing that particular design flaw completely. So many times have I seen rewrites due to a poor design just create the same design flaw in the new system as a compromise because changing the database would be too hard.

And even then, I strongly question the need for isolation/deprecation like this. It says a lot about your company and creates a broken windows atmosphere where it's ok to push shit because it will eventually be replaced anyway.

"Wanting typescript" is a shitty excuse for putting a business critical system up for adoption.

Literally nobody will want to deal with it within a year. After that, your business critical function, likely one that makes money, is no longer maintained and impossible to change.

Enjoy your growth stagnation.

Depends on your goals. What do you hope to accomplish?
I don’t see how race is involved when it comes to Russians ( it’s something else, but it’s not racism). Non persecuted Chinese visitors are not an oppressed group when they volunteer to come here —just as I don’t automatically become oppressed if I get summarily turned back at PEK as a non Chinese.

Some reasons not to use Brave Rewards

If you don't agree with their method of paying creators with their crypto, then just don't opt-in to it.

I'd understand this complaint if this was opt-out.
Are you kidding ?

There is plenty of of lessons to be learned here

- Code involving cryptography should be written with some level of basic rigor, even at that prototype phase, otherwise you lose credibility (evidence above)

- Code involving cryptography that's in a prototype phase should not be marketed in a bubbly 'use this now' fashion

- Academics should be aware that their code is likely to be taken and used as is

I could go on all day.

EDIT: I left this out initially, then edited it in, then edited it out, but to claim that "they know what they are doing" so whatever their students do doesn't impact their credibility is so bizarre.

Surely these students are supposed to be being taught to go and become implementators or advise implementators. So maybe they should be taught to not use rand(), to have a clear and reproducible project build, to not provide prototype work marketed as usable, etc, etc. Cryptography is usually broken (bypassed) by implementation flaws, afaik, and I'm not even an expert.

I'm not taking a position on this code base or paper because I haven't looked much, just on the argument that "they know what they are doing so its fine" and "it's fine that academics can't implement, they are only working on cryptography"

The answer to the genre of questions is that you always want fewer small problems, and more day-to-day efficiency...

I tried it a couple years ago. Delivering to large providers wasn't the problem. The problem was smaller ISP, one of them flat-out banned all IPs from my host provider (Digital Ocean), others for no reason I could find banned my specific IP. (I was not on any public block list BTW)

Getting off their block list was either impossible or involved digging some old forum posts to find an email address that you could try your luck with, usually with no result as it seems nobody was reading it anyway.
None of the three reasons presented are specific to Brave Rewards. They're all about the company and its investors, and so by extension the company's motivations.
>Well, some countries spacial programs were made with IP stolen from the US.

I suspect that Werner von Braun would find this hilarious.

Also, I'm flitting on the verge of calling Poe's law here.
it seems much more sensible to grant or deny permission to enter from a flight's originating airport.

It's a thing that happens in every country. That's how people occasionally end up living at airports or days, weeks, or months. They can't enter the country, and they can't go home for various reasons. (There was a movie made about this a while back, I don't remember if it was about a real person.)

Back during the first bird flu scare (90's, I think), one of my family members was denied entry into Hong Kong from Macau because she was scanned with a high temperature. No country is going to say, "Hey, you're undesirable. How about you stay here with us?"

Brave is open-source. Are we saying no one has bothered to look at the source code, especially when Brave claims to be privacy- first? That Peter Thiel's is an investor is indeed interesting. But does that necessarily qualify it as a reason to stop using it? By that measure, we should also stop using AirBnB, Stripe, Spotify, Lyft, Postmates, Oculus, Credit Karma, etc.
Search for "`chemical name` msds". You may need to look for the specific chemical name [1] rather than trade name. You should be able to find an occupational safety limit, lower exposure limit, or similarly worded section, which tells you how much (roughly) you can be safely (roughly) exposed to per unit time, usually 8 hour workday.

Anything that isn't air doesn't belong in your lungs. Period. Some things are less bad than others. However diffusers are unlikely to increase the concentration to harmful levels for healthy individuals. As an asthmatic though, I can definitely feel it when lots of diffusers are running.

I speculate that UCLA must be impacted (just size and in the west), but they had a Chinese student cheating ring scandal recently, so they probably will have a public perception if they come forwards. In a strongly sinophobe time, Americans believe all one billion Chineses are the same.
> Anyway when I was a kid I only cared about having good games to play

This was generally true for me too, but in 2019 games are primarily a social hangout spot. They're like a park or a concrete basketball court next to the parking lot, where the kids come hang out and shoot the shit in the lobby even if they aren't actively in a match.

Not being on the same game your mates are playing is akin to telling your kid "you can't go to your friends' park 30 minutes away, why don't you hang out in our perfectly nice backyard with a basketball hoop"

It seems to me that our economy is extremely good at removing meaning from anything. Great many jobs - possibly most - involve being paid for doing arbitrary tasks that become inputs to further arbitrary tasks that make money for someone else. A worker is just a replaceable piece in a vast machinery. And even if you elect to search for meaning on the front lines of value delivery - if you become, say, a doctor, or a fireman - you'll discover your job is as much about helping people as it is about making money and preserving your ability to make money.

I wonder whether it's just the price of progress, of increasing complexity in human organization? As heartbreaking as it is, could it be any different?

Does it really matter what the causes of the depression and anxiety are if there is no easy way to change them (global warming, debt, parody of a government, news that's hyperbole not information, overwhelming technology, world competition, and so on)? None of those are going away, so the emphasis needs to be on taking care of the the young people (or all people) stressed by these factors.

What to do? Anecdotally, I can certainly say that lessening exposure to these things really helps. But not everyone has the environment or self control to do such things.
I think Cal Newport touches on this in his book Digital Minimalism. He links it pretty convincingly to the rise of people been glued to screens.
All three reasons are directly specific to Brave Rewards. That's their business model that caught Peter Thiel's eye. Which you can opt-out of.

If you believe the actual browser is siphoning off information to Palantir, that's an entirely different story.

But for now, this post just reads like a conspiracy theory. The browser's FOSS. Surely switching.social is capable of checking the source code for anything fishy, and using that as their ammo instead.
Sometimes when folks talk to the kernel, they want to know they're talking to the actual kernel. glibc by design lets random stuff on the system MiTM symbols like read (even security critical ones like getrandom) and the LGPL effectively forbids many projects from using static linking as an escape hatch. The Chrome guys had to write a whole system call library from scratch because of it. On Windows it tends to get much more intense, where dynamic symbol interposition is brought to its logical conclusion, and you've layers upon layers of antivirus hooks and spyware sitting between you and the system. There, pretty much the only thing you can do is just SSL the heck out of everything.
The title of the podcast, and the experience of googling some of the names in the diagram and getting sites that don't scream credibility, makes me wonder:

I'm a big believer in social media being toxic for many people. I see the core problems as it pushes life views to the extremes.

Its full of posts of 'see how great my life is' or 'see how bad the world is'. This combined with a media intergrated into our lives almost real-time whose organisations are all looking to maximise our attention.

We used to go through the world in a much simpler bubble and get our half hours news window on TV or newspaper in the morning. And being connected to the wider journeys of people for more realistic expectations e.g. rather than seeing someone post a picture of a great car saying 'how good is this' you also got to see they had been working and saving hard for a few years.

Ive thought about this a bunch and dont know how we can deal with it better. I cant see social media going away. I tried one of those apps that shows the screen time you spend but it didnt really change habits for me. I mentioned to my partner the other day that we should consider setting on weekend day as a screen free day.

I really think this is somethign important for society to work on.
It is unclear what your point is. Did somebody claim that strawberries are orders of magnitudes safer than cigarettes?

My point is that there are good reasons to view the number presented in that report as very preliminary and unreliable.
[...] the number of fires in Brazil this year is more than last year, but about the same as in 2016 and less than in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2012. [...]
In a sense this is 'virtual inertia', since your local control systems are configured to resist a change in frequency.

Presumably you need comms later to add up how much frequency support you ended up providing, for market settlement?
If the solution is based around BEAM bytecode then WASM should beat Javascript. A WASM version of the bytecode interpreter is going to be at least as fast as a JS version of the bytecode interpreter, and the AOT version will have faster startup than the JIT version too.

The caveat is that this reasoning is only thinking in terms of raw speed of executing the bytecodes. Both the WASM and JS versions will still run the elixir bytecodes in "dynamically typed speed", as the JS JIT is not able to optimize at the "elixir level". Things get a bit more complicated if you add the garbage collector to the mix though because the WASM version can't reuse the highly-efficient Javascript GC.
Also, additional assumption: that most of the news is in any way actionable or even relevant to your life. In vast majority of cases, it isn't.

People don't read the news to be informed (otherwise they wouldn't tolerate the ridiculously low journalistic standards of today). They consume news because it gives them stuff to talk about with other people. Whether or not the stories are true is irrelevant, as long as everyone hears the same stories. The psychological cost of these stories is, however, unaccounted for.

It's cool- I like the dynamic weighting and the minimal control points. As other people point out, there's very little "code." It would be cool if features would slowly nudge as you increase weight to ensure that they are preserved and balance is maintained as the weight increases.
