When do kids socialize then? Breaks between lessons is how students can get to know each other, grab some snacks, go to the toilet, talk about the game last night, flirt etc etc.

Do you really mean there are no breaks in between? Or you mean there's only 10 minutes to get to the next room? It cannot be 0 because people can't teleport and I assume not everything is in the same classroom.

You don't buy one big one and have it do your whole field. You buy lots of them and have them do the field as a swarm.

Consider that a row-crop tractor can cost $100-300,000 (see footnote). You can buy A LOT of little drones for that much money. Or a smaller number of drones and a number of swappable battery packs.

$300,000 worth of spraying drones could cover a huge amount of area in a lot less time, and with a lot more efficiency.

The text of the article notes this change concerns "open carry" only. Even in Alaska, this seems unlikely to affect many Walmart customers.
I like the way Go proceeds as a language, with features added very very slowly and the compiler and tools regularly improving. I hope Rust can settle down into a similar focus soon.

Invasive species and their impact are relative to your area, of course.

Of equal interest is the use of non-native species to provide more genetic diversity. In Canada, we are using lots of 'Amur' trees and bushes from Russian and Northern China to increase diversity of our treestock after the huge diebacks caused by Dutch Elm, Emerald Ash Borer and other imported pests.

That's kind of like saying MIDI was never widely used because you only ever saw MIDI files used to play tinny soundcard music on someone's GeoShitties site back in the day. MIDI is much more a control protocol than a file format, and it was and is used as such throughout professional music production.

Similarly, PostScript was the control language for high-end printers back in the day, so it was used extensively as the final output format for print, even if it was rarely saved off as a .ps file.

How long can Amazon maintain the charade? If you look at their Net Operating Profits, they are not doing so hot, and without AWS, they are a really big startup.

The competition is catching up; especially Walmart, and Target is the gold standard in omnichannel retail now. How long can Amazon's cloud business subsidize their retail ambitions?

What if: Deeply Nested SCSS Is Good
CampusOptics | Engineer #1 | On-site in Austin, TX | Full-Time

CampusOptics is building the first comprehensive fire safety software platform specifically for higher education. Schools have a high regulatory bar to meet for fire safety compliance, and the consequence of failure can be dire. After a few months of market research, we've put a sales and client services team together with deep higher ed experience, and I'm looking for a software engineer to join me in Austin to build the product.

We want to deliver large amounts of value as quickly as possible, and we’ll use technologies that enable that aim. Out of the gates, that will probably mean relying heavily on Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL and only introducing the complexity of front-end frameworks where they make a meaningful difference. We’ll also be delivering a mobile application with to-be-determined technology choices and tradeoffs.

While you don’t already need to be an expert at all of these, we’ll be collaborating on things like defining our core data model, building the API that powers our mobile application, representing complex policies and fire standards in code, working with geospatial data to assist inspectors in the field, and creating visualizations of the state of fire safety on campus.

In the near-term future, this will be a heavily product-focused role. Over time, this engineer could move into a people-management role (EM, Director of Engineering, etc…) or a technical-leadership (technical lead, software architect) role, so please apply whichever direction you're headed.

Email me at jcody@campusoptics.com if you'd like to learn more or talk about whether there might be a fit.
In the current frontend ecosystem, I felt fairly alone with my love for structuring CSS in a deeply nested fashion. I have had numerous discussions with my coworkers about it, and now, finally, I laid out my main arguments pro-deep-nesting, in an organized way.

I'm a little disappointed with chromebooks as well.

I was one of the kids who was a little disappointed when the first MacOS came out. Where was the command line? Where did I wrote code? The commodore64 did a lot more for kids who wanted to learn about computers, an affordable and highly hackable and programmable computer. I felt like the first Mac was a big step forward in terms of ease of use for the general consumer, but a step back from the AppleII in getting in there and really enjoying computing.

Chromebooks put more, not less distance, between a kid and what I consider to be the interesting things about a computer.

Think of it this way - google talks a lot about a critical skills shortage. Ok, so, would a kid who grows up using a Chromebook be more likely to develop these skills than a kid who uses a linux system, or Mac OS X? Or hell, even a windows system, at least it's relatively easy to get a bash shell working there.

Nah, let's face it, the future of google's workforce is not going to be found among the the kids using google's educational products. Bet you google execs and high up engineers most definitely have their kids learning on something else, and they probably avoid too much exposure to any kind of electronics for a longer period of childhood than google pushes out there in the classroom.

I dislike "dark modes" and don't use them at all, but I can see that they are of real value to a lot of people and not just a gimmick.
No. You can bet multiples of £100k on the Asian books. There are people putting down millions on CL games with no issue (you can put down £100k+ on the Championship ffs). Exchanges represent a tiny fraction of the market (and only mugs bet on the main ones, you need to go through a white-label to get decent commission rates..again these are usually run by Asian bet brokers).

1% is also a fairly decent ROI. What you are missing is that you compound at 1% weekly. And if you are putting down bets on other leagues with a higher ROI, you are likely making well over 50%/year.

Sort of this. Also remember the meat alternatives like Beyond are processed foods and there's more to health than just comparing macros. Ingredients for Beyond:

"Water, Pea Protein Isolate*, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Refined Coconut Oil, Rice Protein, Natural Flavors, Cocoa Butter, Mung Bean Protein, Methylcellulose, Potato Starch, Apple Extract, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Vinegar, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Sunflower Lecithin, Pomegranate Fruit Powder, Beet Juice Extract (for color)"[0]

If you run BSD on AWS are you running a hypervisor underneath that's still doing hyperthreading? On most AWS instances, a "virtual CPU" is really a hyperthread.[1] "Each vCPU is a thread of either an Intel Xeon core or an AMD EPYC core, except for T2 and m3.medium."

Is anybody actually attacking AWS this way? It seems a promising attack vector; you get to run your own code on the same machines as others.

They're a lot more ubiquitous than some burner's art projects. While I wouldn't necessarily fret over a light switch crashing, expressif chips are popping up in home security products like SimpliSafe. Likely safe in a home from the WPA2 Enterprise hijack, simply crashing SimpliSafe base stations might lead to fun times.
You mean like happened with the big private finance companies and their massive government bailout, because the private sector loves private profit and some other sucker paying for losses?

You're not wrong. The point is to reduce flying, specifically for travel within the continent. There will be cases where people will still travel by airplane. A major reduction of use of any resource doesn't mean it need to go directly to zero.

>So I'm genuinely curious, especially when thinking about FedEx Ground, how is Amazon different here?

They're an entire step down market, they run cheaper crappier trucks with cheaper and crappier drivers. This means they can offer cheaper prices but the downside is they make mistakes more and are generally less professional.

It's like the difference between the low class landscaper who shows up in a 30yo truck and lets loose half a dozen felons with week whackers in the industrial park and the high class landscaper who shows up in the kind of truck that won't make the secretary clutch her pearls with a crew who've only been arrested for misdemeanors to cut the grass outside your office.

They both do the same job. One of them does it cheaply. The other looks professional doing it and is probably more consistent and actually has something you can sue them for if they really F up. Everyone says they prefer the latter one but the former isn't lacking for business.

(Yes, I'm stereotyping here but you get the picture.)
Another untapped market is political betting. I go with a low-risk low-profit strategy that involves a rolling strategy of buying 98 and 99 cent markets (the status quo) on PredictIt. Not very hard to make a 50% annualized return with this kind of stuff. You gotta use multiple accounts though, since you can only put $500 on a single market.
I'm not missing that, it was just not something that was discussed. I was talking about weight gain and weight loss, not how easy or difficult it is in practice.

What you eat will of course matter when it comes to nutrition, muscle gain, satiety and many other factors but that in itself does not generally remove that a calorie is a calorie (unless extreme diets).
Imo the problem with fake news is that by the time it's debunked (if), its effect has already happened and can't be undone.

There's still a lot missing in Ackee, but even with all the features I'm planning to add it will never be a full replacement for Google Analytics. And I think that's the best about Ackee. Because not everyone needs full-featured marketing analytics with tons of options and insights.

Ackee can also show page views, but it's not implemented in the UI, yet. This is the same for browser, system, visit duration and other insights (all of them are optional to track and turned off by default). Keep an eye on https://github.com/electerious/Ackee/issues/35 to know when it's ready.

They really ought to have some sort of format for setting up APN properly based on URIs, which could then be put in QR codes on fresh SIM card packages.
Teachers try to sedate students because they have nothing valuable to teach. Only a small percentage of teachers have had a profession other than teaching. Some teachers have hobbies that make them interesting, many others do not. New Math/Discovery Math is a failure, because grade school teachers themselves have no idea what purpose it serves.

Students with wealthy parents will do well; tutoring, travel, summer camps, all help with education and growth.
If you want to build a direct relationship with customers, put an 8.5"x3.5" glossy flyer into the food order bag with your delivery phone number and your web site address on it, and hope I don't throw it out.

If you call me up directly, I will be annoyed.
> It really hasn't improved their ability to learn mathematics or English.

Lightening backpack load and improved scheduling are pretty good outcomes, as long as learning hasn't gotten worse. Why would learning ability (for basics like the 3Rs) be significantly improved using tech? The students are still the same after all.
> strongly suggests that they intend to eliminate the semi-"hard" buttons in favor of gestures.

If that happens, that's an OS that is unacceptable to me. It's bad enough that physical buttons were eliminated in favor of the soft buttons. That bothers me to this day, but I learned to live with it.

Eliminating even the horrible soft buttons, though, would be a bridge too far in terms of reducing usability.
Can this be constructed as a quotient ring of the complex numbers by some ideal?
If you follow the "How it works" link, they state that everyone is sent the same set of ads. Your local browser chooses what to recommend from that set. I was happy to see they designed it in a privacy-conscious manner.
A lot of those things are already automated. Machines that create pizzas, burgers, cocktails, robots that weld, security robots, remote medical care, driverless transportation.

The rental car place had people there... two to move cars and clean them, and one to sit in an exit booth to check IDs against contracts and lower the tire-ripping thing. But they didn't need three people idling behind desks waiting to process people's policies.
I don't like suggesting Telegram because it is not end-to-end encrypted.

I prefer WhatsApp (where it's Facebook that has access to all the metadata like who speaks to whom, but not the message contents), or Signal (which is also end-to-end encrypted and doesn't have the "Facebook" problem).
Right, but without the framing that the restaurants are the little guy standing up to the system, what you're describing is just monopoly behavior. (Imagine all the grocery stores getting together and saying "hey, potato farmers, we decided your prices need to go down".)

That study does not say a vegetarian diet is more healthy, it says that people who self-report following a vegetarian diet are more healthy.

And you would expect people who eat a vegetarian diet to be more healthy on average. They're likely more affluent, educated and aren't drinking, smoking or eating junk food as much as the general population.
Indeed. And all of those frustrations people have using Windows computers end up teaching problem solving skills in a far more effective manner than anything you could put in a textbook.
Really? Why do parents want to please the administrators?

Intel and others did give out a repair kit; they give you the option of disabling hyperthreading and a whole host of other optimizations. Those optimizations are both what provides this new side-channel of attack, and an immense speedup when they're enabled. You can't have one without the other.
Probably: Lock-in to Google's proprietary walled garden. Probably loaded with school spy-ware too.

Unfortunately a lot of parents won't care, and the school system won't give them a choice either. However, it leads to shit like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbins_v._Lower_Merion_School...

The ideal is BYOD. If all you really need is a web browser, then let parents and kids decide what to use together.

If you really give a shit about cheating use analog quizzes/tests. It's not perfect, but the old ways are easier to police.

We are automating jobs, starting with leasing. Our business is growing and we really need you to help expand our bot’s capabilities, consolidate, simplify, and scale.

We have six engineers, and we started in Summer 2017.

Our first product is Lisa, a bot that leases houses and apartments. Our clients now include some of the biggest companies in real estate. Clients hire Lisa as if she were a human employee.

People looking for housing perceive a human leasing agent named Lisa, texting from a nearby area code. Everyone who inquires gets a text back in a minute or so. If there's a question the bot can't answer, it goes to human fallback. (That lets us automate most of the work while still passing the Turing test.)

Speaking for myself, this is one of the most fun and technically challenging projects I’ve worked on.

We offer competitive salary and benefits.

Required: speed, pragmatism, a penchant for simplicity, and a history of shipping.

Nice to have: NLP expertise, Tensorflow experience. Java. React, Flow, GraphQL/Apollo. Node. Open source contributions.

(Any of these are positive but none are required. Tell us a bit about what you're comfortable with & what excites you.)

If you’re interested, please email me! dc@dynasty.com
