I would love to see a startup completely change the game in this space. Google is the most techy company that I’ve seen have an actual chance at carving away some customers from the big carriers with Fi. Of course, they are piggy backing on Sprint/T-Mobile infra, but they have a compelling pitch.
The same ways we do: by scissors-and paste with parts of other words. Most if our English words are small alterations of proto-indo-european words.
Not great. I'm in my early 30's and I've never been able to keep a job for more than a few months. I never managed to perform to my true abilities. I've been to doctors and therapists and they tell me I'm not sick. In a way, I kind of wish I was depressed or had a regular label so I could at least have an explanation.

I never tell my friends about my issues. I can't even imagine how that conversation would go: "What happened about your last job?" "Oh, I can't reply to emails..."
I’m curious. Anyone know how this compares to irssi and other common irc clients?

Biography

Background

Ned is the father of Arya, Brandon, Robb, Rickon, and Hodor. He had married Catelyn Tully after her father died in the Battle of the Whispering Wood. During the War of the Five Kings he served as Hand of the King under Lord Eddard Stark after his father's death. Ned has two brothers, Willem and Torrhen Stark. Ned, his siblings and their children were all killed during the Red Wedding
Do you not have 2 years of W2 or 1099 income? With either, an FHA loan should be no problem, or even a Fannie or Freddie backed loan with mortgage insurance baked into the interest rate.

Income and assets are king when underwriting a mortgage, credit less so (depending on investor desires of the mortgage backed securities).

This has been my experience also. Of course you can't forget the old stuff if you're maintaining an old codebase. But, I'm grateful to use lambdas, std algorithm, if constexpr, and fold expressions instead of boilerplate classes, bespoke loops, SFINAE hackery, and recursive variadic functions. There is less wizardry necessary than in the past.
70 percent of voters supported the new regulations.

The new restrictions allow homeowners to rent out portions of their homes as long as they’re present during a guest’s stay.
But they prohibit renters from listing their apartment and bar owners from renting a property on a short-term basis most of the year if they don’t live on-site, effectively banning large-scale Airbnb operators who had converted hundreds of condos and townhouses into makeshift hotels.
It would, however, hurt residents who were making extra cash by renting out a second home for days at a time through Airbnb.

It sounds reasonable to me. I used to love staying in Airbnb’s but can’t stand the cheapness of it all as of late due to them turning into pure investments and no longer real homes.
I know what you mean but I'm not certain Spring was viable long term against Verizon and Sprint. Hopefully this won't be the end of T-Mobile being somewhat more pro consumer.
Fascinating. Three different apocryphal versions of the same story.

It's really hard to gauge value in the software industry. A company may make $0 on some code today, $5000 on the same code next year, and $50 mil 10 years after that. Assuming Orion is writing this code, is he worth $0, $2500/year, or $5 mil/year?

It's part of a team effort - testers, marketing, management, investors, HR, finance, even the janitor who keeps Orion from taking a day off to vacuum the office and clean the toilets.

I think freelancing comes as close to true value as possible. You abstract out a portion of work to someone, who handles it for a certain value. That someone also mops their own floors, does their own taxes, registers a company, deals with regulations, deals with their own insurance, manages their own motivation, and so on. They often outsource this too - maids, co-working spaces, plumbers, personal health insurance, etc.

Freelancers request about 1-10 times the average rate. This varies by location, e.g. companies with good public healthcare and lower taxes might have a lower multiplier.

But if you live in a location where full time freelancers normally request 4x wages, it's likely Orions max value is closer to 4x his total compensation.
On the flipside, the WHO, FAOJC and ECHA (as well as the canadian, australian and german safety bodies) didn't find there to be sufficient evidence that Glyphosate is a carcinogen or dangerous in the dosages you'll be exposed to.

The IARC is actually the only international scientific organization that has actually classed glyphosate as carcinogen (based on including a few studies that the other bodies do not include to avoid bias).

Of course, eating Glyphosate isn't exactly healthy, it's a pesticide after all and not quite exactly designed to be consumed by anything but it's all about the dosage.

To be fair it was pretty obvious if you had been in the space for a while. When random people start texting you up asking how to buy XRP and telling you why LTC is better than BTC you know it's a bubble and know it's time to get out.

Look at Charlie Lee for example. Everyone blames him for dumping his LTC at $200 or whatever it was but frankly it was extremely obvious that it was a bubble and a smart decision.

It's the main reason why Stripe has taken a chunk of PayPal's business. We still have to use PayPal's API since most people, especially overseas are aware of PayPal.

We had dedicated PayPal liaisons and they recommended we use a product API that wasn't fit for our task. Just goes to show even their employees can't make sense of their products and documentation.

Are there any startups working on solutions to the CA wildfires?
This year there have been more than 5,000 wildfires in California. Historically, these wildfires would burn without causing much damage. But that's not the case any longer. In addition to the State's arid weather and high winds, people are ever more residing deep into wilderness areas that are susceptible to wildfires.

As firefighters work hard to stop these fires, others are developing technologies to forecast them. One such technology is WIFIRE, a supercomputer that combines "real-time weather" info along with "known fire corridors" and other data to forecast wildfires. This is reported in a 11/4/19, WSJ article.

What am I wondering is if startups are coming up with technologies to solve CA's wildfire issues? Certainly, residents and local, state and Federal governments would be eager for any solutions.
Well the exchanges that participate in the Tether blockchain each run a node or nodes. The transactions are cryptographically verified, so there's a common ledger between all these participating exchanges. But Tether has a couple theoretical weaknesses due to this setup. A quorum of exchanges could theoretically collude to manipulate transaction history or shut out other exchanges. And Bitfinex itself is the centralized holder of the USD backing Tether, so that makes it very vulnerable to any shortcomings in Bitfinex's accounting. Ultimately to cash out Tether the exchanges have to go to Bitfinex and request a fund transfer so they are a single point of failure for the Tether chain.
Yes, I just don't think the analogy worked very well.

FWIW, we have a new official addon package called Redux Starter Kit [0]. It includes utilities to simplify several common Redux use cases, including store setup, defining reducers, immutable update logic, and even creating entire "slices" of state at once without writing any action creators or action types by hand.

We're starting on a major rewrite of the Redux core docs [1], and as part of that we'll be encouraging folks to use RSK as the default way to write Redux code.

(Note that we're also discussing possibly renaming RSK [2] to avoid confusion over the word "Starter" - a lot of folks are mistaking this to mean that it's only good for beginners or that it's some kind of project CLI tool.)

I am from UK, but for professional purposes I always use American spellings in APIs, even if it's an open source project and I'm the only author. It's objectively better for everybody to use a standard consistent spelling across all APIs.

I was going to post this section too. It sounds like a good law making the best of what Air BnB is best at. As for the last problem those residents could be helped by allowing only 1+ month renting of homes which may help people who haven't been able to unload their house yet or who are new to an area. Either way the point is to discourage home owners from owning multiple houses.

Airbnb will loathe the day it decided not to fight back against people buying 10 to 15 apartments and renting them via large scale operations on their platform. They had to know it was happening, and, while it may have helped them achieve their initial growth rates, it's dramatically turned public opinion against them. I don't know a single renter or home owner in NYC who actually wants Airbnb guests in their building.

>> items w/ low coverage but high precision

Newbie NLP dev here. What's this concept of coverage vs precision that you speak of? It sounds intriguing.
Come now, that's not even close. That's comparing a BMW M4 2 door coup with a rear seat (rated for 4 adults) with a fullsize 5 door sedan (rated for 5 adults). The model S has around 3 times the cargo space (30 ft^3 s "8 to 11" ft^2 on the BMW).

A 5 series is much closer, 5 adults, 18 ft^3 cargo space, and even leads by a bit on passenger space (98 ft^3 vs 94 ft^3). The model S is AWD only, so to be fair lets add that to the BMW 5 series.

The BMW 550i xdrive "base curb weight" is 4,372, the Tesla S P100D is 4883, so 11.6%. Both cars have slower/lighter versions of course. The M550i has a 0-60 of 3.8 seconds, the Tesla 2.5 seconds.

They are both handle 5 passenger, have 4 doors (ignoring the heavier hatchback on the S), have AWD, are within 1 inch wheelbase and 0.6 inch in length. Having sat in both I'd say that feel relatively similarly sized, especially in the back seat (unlike the M4).

As for the m2 competition, I think the weight distribution can be partially attributed to it being a small 2 door with a token rear seat and tiny trunk than any strong statement about ICE vs electric. I'm not saying batteries (at least today) are not heavier, just that for comparably sized/marketed cars the difference is relatively low.

I think a common trap is to compare a large tesla that fits a family of 4+dog and to compare it to a high performance sports coup... because of the similar performance. Not because they are comparable cars for most uses.
Everything you say sounds good in theory, until you spend a bit of time studying the history of economic policies. It's...really fucking complicated, which is why nobody really knows what they're doing (I mean how many people can predict when the stock market will crash?). But what you're proposing is the sort of thing that works with a small group of people, but then as you scale more and more you realize there are so many complicating factors you never thoughts of - not just resources but political alliances! Oftentimes there are military reasons for these justifications. One of the reasons high-fructose corn syrup is subsidized in the United States is so the US would not be dependent upon Cuba for its sugar supply back when Cuba was a communist country. One of the main motivations of the international freeway system is emergency runways for military planes. And while many subsidies are controversial, such as corn and soy, nobody can deny that we have all the corn and soy we need and it's all affordable - which was always the goal.

The truth about subsidies is simple: they're too fucking complicated to make meaningful generalizations. Each case really is unique enough it needs its own context, analysis, and decision for what's best.

I agree with your sentiment, but I encourage you to really dive into the details of any economic subsidy and realize how many confounding factors there are. There's the old economics joke "it works in practice, but not in theory" for a reason.

That's utter nonsense. If it was "malicious", it would have been removed by now. All the evidence says that they are useful.

On another note, I think it's an interesting choice of words that you wrote "created."

I suggest you do the math. My mother was a fanatical gardener and food preserver, so I know full well how much land it takes to grow enough produce to feed a family for a year from a season's frozen/canned produce. I personally did a lot of literal spade work (and harvest work) to make it happen.

A couple of window boxes will about cover 1/4 of your need for herbs(1). I am not sure how big mom's gardens (plural) were, but I would guess an acre or so all together.

Really, it isn't hard to do the math. There are a zillion books on gardening that address space planning starting from your desired yield estimate. It isn't difficult math -- my mom taught it to a herd of 4-H kids over the years, and as the 4-H garden judge at the county fair expected your notebook to include the computations.

So, I encourage you to grow a Victory Garden. Tell us how that works out for you. I guarantee that at least some of the food that you grow will be astoundingly good. Not everyone finds the process satisfying, though.

The ironic thing is that the farm country we are talking about in this thread is exactly where mom's gardens were, and gardens were common in the day. But not any more -- people would rather work at Walmart, and buy their canned corn there, than grow it and can it themselves. The rural economy has changed -- at least the farm country economy -- because it is rare to be able to make a living full-time farming any more.
