I use eBay for books. Sellers pay a lower commission and a 3rd party seller is sending your book so you're supporting small business. The book is always cheaper and even more so if you buy used. The only catch is that it takes longer than 1 day and that's a dealbreaker for many.
The next model isn't a 737-something, it's an entirely new airplane, one that can replace the 737 and 757. There is nothing wrong with the MAX that is not fixable with software and some artful rebranding. But its still a 737, and comes with all of the discomfort and limitations thereof inherent to the platform. It's not a comfortable airplane to fly in, fly, and its limited in how fast you can evacuate it too.
Like many others in the comments, I loved Infinite Jest, for many reasons, but just to go into one in particular, I feel like David Foster Wallace’s viciously smart, sardonic, ironic, and often deeply depressing sense of humor is at its peak in IJ. There are so many things from the book that stick out to me as being memorably funny: the woman with an artificial heart who dies because a purse snatcher takes it, chasing the snatcher for several blocks while yelling, “Stop her, she’s stolen my heart!” while onlookers laugh and think it’s just some sort of couple’s tryst; the party for someone’s dissertation defense where a bunch of pretentious academics are all doing this kind of anti dance consisting of moving as little as possible so as to look like you’re not dancing, but with a kind of jerking rhythm; the description of the 90s TV special about a guy with paranoid schizophrenia afraid that the government wants to inject radioactive fluid into his brain and that he’s being chased by giant machines that will eventually catch him and consume him, who for science is injected with a radioactive solution for a PET scan and then stuck into the giant whirling scanner, a look of horror on his face as he sees his worst fears coming to life; the Canadian government minister who dies because he has a cold and cannot communicate with the person robbing his house that he cannot breathe through his nose; the teen tennis player who wears all black and is called The Darkness, meanwhile the other teen tennis player who tries to get people to call him The Viking but no one does; the whole thing with the wheelchair assassins and “to hear the squeak”; the absurdity of Helen Steeply and the even more ridiculous absurdity of Orin falling for him/her; Avril losing her shit and running around the yard with the mold her son ate held aloft, screaming for help; and so on.

Plus this all often leading into scenes that are just relentlessly tragic. Joelle freebasing way too much cocaine in the bathroom at that same party; Poor Tony winding up having a seizure and swallowing his tongue on the T; the viscerally accurate depiction throughout the book of addiction and depression; Joelle’s entire life story; Himself’s slide into madness and suicide while basically no one tried to help; the short bit of Himself talking to his alcoholic father when he was younger; and so on.

In a way it reminds me of the show Bojack Horseman, with the mix of high brow and low brow humor, unflinchingly dark narrative, and deeply flawed characters.

All of which is to say: it’s not always an easy book, but it’s definitely worth at least two reads, one to get the story and another to appreciate all of the interleaving of the various stories throughout the book.
It's just a much harder problem to solve than you realize it is.

The truth is a lot of the homeless people that aren't in shelters choose not to go to shelters. Why? The biggest reason is because shelters don't allow drugs or alcohol, and if you're an addict that's an immediate pass.

There are other reasons too. Sometimes couples want shelter together, but most are separated by gender (and for good reason: to prevent sexual assaults). Sometimes a person has a pet, and pets are generally not accepted at shelters.

So, what do you do? Allow people to shoot up in a shelter? Or deny heroin addicts shelter? As I said, it's not obvious how to fix this. It's definitely not just a "build more beds" situation in most cities.
There is a tragedy of the commons problem as well: from massive over-use of the same antibiotics in farm animals. Antibiotic susceptibility is a asset of the commons. And there are farmers who are incentivized to ruin it for everyone else.

I would interpret this as roughly equivalent to the biomedical industry telling Congress they need to put the meat industry in its place. Stopping use of antibiotics in animal husbandry will raise the price of meats, decreasing the market for them. It seems that Congress is, by neglect, accepting some human deaths in exchange for cheap meat and a few animal husbandry jobs.

> The problem with any big book is that, at the end, the author has you over a barrel: either you loved it and the author is a genius, or you hated it and you are a sucker. Lots of people claim to love long, ponderous books just to avoid being the sucker or for fear of appearing unsophisticated.

I think this all the time. If you've made a huge commitment to something that turned out to be worthless, it's tough to admit that to yourself and others. So I'm a bit more skeptical when I hear positive reviews of long books, colleges, investors, religions, marriage, having kids, etc.

In the USA, and seemingly most other modern liberal democracies, that being true is the crux. "Equal protection" seems damaged beyond all repair, noting also that now this imbalance has now seemingly blown up in the face of the USA, India, and the UK. The justice systems of these countries are systemically failing with huge miscarriages of justice abounding. So to make a long story long regarding your question.. Yes.
But of course it's HBO so it'll have plenty of softcore porn embedded within the plot.

Despite the jokes, HBO tend to do a decent job of this stuff. Ignoring the shitshow that was GoT after season 4. The Wire, The Sopranos, Westworld... probably better in their hands than, say, Netflix.

Dr. Nitschke is from my home town right here. He was so close to getting voluntary euthanasia laws enacted in the Northern Territory, but the government backed out in the end.

I remember watching him demonstrate V1 of his 'machine in a suitcase' that people could use to end their lives. It was controlled by a PC, and the interface that the patient would use to click the confirmation dialogs to begin the last things they would see in the world was written in..... <shudder> ... Microsoft Access.
If they called it “dead cow” I’d agree, but they call parts of nuts meat as well. Meat doesn’t mean dead animal.
Apparently, most antibiotics don't undergo metabolism in animals, and 40-90% of ingested antibiotics in livestock are excreted in urine and feces[1].

Those antibiotics go on to contaminate groundwater, and as you say, contribute significantly to antibiotic resistance[2].

I've reported failed/incorrect deliveries a number of times. They ignore directions (we say leave it behind a fence), have lied about delivering the package, and have lied about handing it to a housemate (which we've caught on our security camera).

Their last mile delivery is shameful, but they have been willing to pay for a new one everytime, so they are going to feel the cost... but yeah, it's horrible.

The thing about eliminating fares and having more frequent service is that they're complementary. To have more frequent service you need enough riders to justify it; eliminating fares gives you at least some increased ridership.

Suppose you have an existing A line with 1500 riders and you're considering building a B line, but you need 1000 riders to justify it and you predict there will only be 900, so you don't build it. However, if you eliminated fares then you might expect 1100 riders for the B line. Then the lack of fares also gives you another 300 riders for the A line, and the existence of the B line gives you another 600 riders for the A line since then people can then go from A to B. So eliminating fares allows you to build the B line and add 2000 riders across the two lines, even though only 500 of them were directly from the elimination of fares.

And you get a much better incentive for ridership when you go from something like $1 to zero than you would from, say, $2 to $1, because it increases convenience. You don't have to worry about tickets or exact change or anything, you just go through the door and you're on your way.
Unfortunately, no.

This is just based on my top of the head ‘when does the cost exceed the cost of labor and materials’ estimate.

I don't dislike TS because I love JS so insult it all you like. Besides TS is just a superset of JS so it's still got all of JS's warts. It's just a glorified linter.

I dislike TS because it provides no benefit to me. I already have a type checker, it's called a browser. I dislike TS because a bunch of people who wasted their time learning Java or C# are forcing me to deal with it because they can't do their job without a compiler to tell them how.

You need types, that's your problem, not mine.

I wish they’d spend more time on sub-plots, character development, etc. If HBO removes all the sex scenes, they could probably squeeze in an extra episode of actual content per season (I’m being slightly sarcastic).
From http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html: There is no real distinction between read-time, compile-time, and runtime. You can compile or run code while reading, read or run code while compiling, and read or compile code at runtime.

Nice straw man
Besides protocols, hardware for the gateways is another big problem. SDR offers you a few alternative options - especially if you are not scared by coding the whole thing yourself instead of using a stack.

So, your suggestion is that the US consumer has to pay a "tacked-on fee" when they purchase a recyclable product. That fee, presumably, is held by the US government. In other words, it's a sales tax.

When the consumer wants to get rid of the product, they can just throw it out and send it to a landfill. If they do, the fee is kept by the government.

Or, the consumer can get the product to a recycling company, somehow. The recycling company can then request the fee amount from the government. This would require tracking the product's UPC and proof of the # of items recycled, or individual serial numbers. (The tracking info, from sale to disposal, could be sold to marketers for additional revenue. For extra value, attach the info to the consumer for targeted advertising.)

Finally, the recycling company, after getting the sales tax money from the consumer and selling the consumer's data for targeted marketing, can now sell the recycled components back to the manufacturing companies. None of the proceeds make their way back to the consumer, of course.

I don't see any economic benefit for consumers here; in fact the cost burden is mostly on them. That suggests Congress would probably love the idea.
I didn’t take that at all from the paper. I think they’ve provided valid reasons for fork bring harmful, which is that the original spec required that the child process is exactly the same as the parent in all ways modulo its pid, and that this became bad due to the “all ways” qualifier. However, I think the difficulty in having better alternative is addressed in the paper. They suggest relaxing the “in all ways” requirement as a key to a replacement. In that context, the caller would have to understand what exactly they need behind the spawning, which makes sense. So I think they’re encouraging systems developers to a.) use these existing alternatives so that b.) we can deprecate the too coursely grained fork() and eventually c.) remove it usage entirely with some future breaking change. C seems like a pipe dream, but i think they argue quite clearly that A is actually already happening. Maybe B will come up not too long in the distant future.

> The main threat to QE is inflation, which is hovering around 2% and stubbornly low, so QE is in the clear.

Obligatory comment that the measure of inflation used by the Fed - core inflation - intentionally under presents inflation. It literally takes a basket of all goods, sorts by least volatile, and picks the least volatile items possible.
Yeah griefers. Particle spam it sounds. Wasn't someone being interviewed for a media report who made a bunch on virtual real estate? Back in the early days too. SL got a bunch of media buzz back in 2006 and 2007. CSI did a tie in too.

I think the HiFi idea might be private spaces though, so probably need to be invited. Kinda like how Google Apps let businesses have their own private version of Gmail and Docs.

I guess that's one of the problems of creating a platform... Got to balance being too open or being too closed... One of the coolest things I thought about SL is you can just start building in world and scripting. However now with Mesh you create stuff externally and upload it, but don't think there's a way to really preview it much so stuck to pay to upload it, unless you logged into the beta grid. But not sure how much stuff can be stopped other than responding to abuse reports. I think screening all content like Apple does might be a solution too, but still has it's own pro and cons. I guess give people tools, and they'll abuse it.

I was thinking maybe charge like half of what a high quality game on a console is to create an account, but then I doubt it would grow as much but it would limit people from creating troll accounts and help fund developments and servers.
Given the profit motives in the healthcare system (in the United States at least), encouraging people to buy medical treatment seems like more ethically wrong than allowing planned death. The latter is hypothetically problematic, but the former is a textbook example of conflict of interest.

Any chance you could elaborate on this? I am not following this comment thread, not able to read between the lines.
Champagne is the name of a region, and the grapes and finally the wine inherit the name from that region. Because the taste of grapes are affected by weather the actual region of production makes a difference. I don't consider it quite the same thing.

That said, there is little consistency in how things are named and often it comes down to the relative power of one special interest over another. We shall see how this shakes out.

Why would you need Patreon? You an just as easily sell subs to a website. Push notifications can be handled from server side and UI control is a matter of some careful CSS and JS.

Matter of fact, you can build a responsive site that looks and feels like an app on mobile and behaves like a site on desktop with one codebase.

I’m not against apps, per se, but I do think they are totally unnecessary when duplicating behavior that is just as easily achieved in a browser. Plus, the browser means you can push updates once and everyone gets them, as opposed to an app where it’s piecemeal.
Cool story, bro. Except that isn’t really the market reality.

It doesn’t have to have structural elements, but it does need a constraints system.

You: I kill all of them and become an immortal god.

Game: No, that doesn’t make sense. You can’t just kill everyone; you can run over and attack them, and see how that goes for you if you like...

Without constraints it’s not a game, it’s just telling yourself a story.

...nothing wrong with that, it’s fun. ...but it’s not a game imo, any more than giving someone a blank piece of paper and a pen is a game.
Proper Either/Result would fix some of the exception problems with lambdas in Java, though.

It also allows the exceptional behavior to be defined and to be controlled by the developer, one thing that you don't really have today when throwing RuntimeExceptions with say Stream APIs.

> use 'unemployment rate' as any kind of reliable metric

All metrics are flawed, and each has their use.

The unemployment rate helps you understand how likely the average worker is to find a job if they look for one.

Obviously many potential workers will choose not to: health, wealth, sloth, depression, age, wages.

But one aspect of a functioning economy is being able to match willing workers to jobs.

For example: Though I don't put much stock in the "replaced by robots" forecasts, if it were to happen, the unemployment rate would rise.
Yeah including all those peripheral dmg if it falls suddenly. I'm mean might be able to afford I'd it declines overtime, but a shock is going be very scary.
Makes sense. Just shouting out a list of random popular concepts with zero artistic vision or message is exactly how I feel that Netflix originals are generated.
