Homemade pickles and preserves are undoubtedly fancy these days. They were only working-class foods when the working-class had to make them to have food throughout the year. Which was admittedly most of history, but the present is not the past.

The utility of ChromeOS for me is that it enabled the creation of cheap Linux laptops. For $300 plus a 128GB A2-rated SD card, I can boot GalliumOS from the SD card and have a nicely functional Linux development machine with all my important stuff backed up to Dropbox and/or Github. If the laptop gets stolen I don't much care; I just buy another one and reinstall and I haven't lost any data. (I don't use Google's builtin Linux because it's too limited--you cannot boot it from an SD card.)
Well, open-ness wasn't what RISC-V was looking at in ISA models.

Is Power clean? Myself, I've never liked its special purpose Condition, Link and Count registers. I don't see the need for a Branch Processing Unit being an architectural division. The last time I checked, pushing a register value across that boundary was slow. It wasn't handled by a renamer.
That's not what TFA is talking about. This is not lean startup advice.

It is advice for engineers to focus on the utility of the thing they are making for other people, rather than focus on the toolchain that allows them to build the thing.
I don't buy this line of thinking - the list of curable diseases/conditions is longer than the incurable ones. Selection bias means the incurable ones get more attention (because they have to be managed). The health care industry is (mostly) not a coordinated cartel; it's a bunch of self-interested organizations looking to get a leg-up on the competition.

The Fry’s by my house is a disaster zone of sadness and empty shelves. The Microcenter up the road has completely blown up as a result. It’s regularly packed to the gills.

The employees know it. They’re always referring to how bad it is at Frys and that’s why their store has become so popular.

Microcenter is down right dangerous. There are shelves and shelves of new Ryzen processors and those Bucky ball looking Intel processor boxes. It’s tough to not build a monster rig. I’m even considering heading there as I write this comment - to pick up a water cooler for an old i7 3770k so I can clock it to the moon and revitalize it. (If any hackers here have a 3770k and tips, please share)

I love being able to go there to grab UniFi gear right off the shelf. Being able to walk into a physical store that’s a ten minute drive from my house to grab SFP transceivers and fiber cables is kind of unreal to me.
It's exactly the same in GTA 5. PC servers are a cheatfest, a complete joke, while console servers are fine.
It's a great quarter for Tesla, but how much was driven by the end of the tax rebate in the US at the end of the year? It'll be interesting to see how Q1 2020 compares in terms of deliveries in the US. International growth may become a higher percentage of growth over the next year, if they break it out that way.

I'm also wondering if sometime in 2020 Tesla reduces the price of the vehicle to offset the previous tax incentive.
We bought a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV (plugin hybrid) minivan back in March 2018 and its been running fairly well. It has about 30-35 mile electric-only range and with my wife mostly doing just local in-city driving, we usually can get about 80-90% of the miles as electric-only.

It seats 7 comfortably and while not fully electric, it scratches our electric-car itch fairly well. Even in hybrid-only mode, we can get 28-30 mpg .. and in "electric" mode, it registers as about 65-75 mpg.

I feel like the first wave of futuristic tech will appear as tourist novelties or consumer facing. Like robots and self driving vehicles or holograms etc.

Personal opinion in related field: I have been waiting for Ag robots for over 5 years now. I don’t think it will ever come out as an industry because of existing competition in a hyper optimized sector. It will first be consumer facing and small scale. The costs are too daunting for large Ag bots.

I believe that the same would be true for other future tech.
Agreed, especially given the 2-4K you have to plonk down on some of these things. They sound great, but I haven't yet used them. The money thing is a barrier, and I'm a one-car family looking for options.

For that kind of money, you're buying a pretty solid scooter or a cheap car. Nevermind if you want a cargo bike or Bakfiets. Having the infrastructure / city planning to make this worthwhile is definitely an important second part. I'm not going to park a $4K bike just anywhere.
If you call function and it doesnt exist you get a warning "implicit declaration of function". Unless you use additional compiler flags.

The funny part is, he might still be wrong about it being worthless. He talked to ten doctors? There are 1M in the US. It's kind of funny to drop all that time and 40k in then give up after ten doctors say no, especially without trying to tweak the product based on feedback.

I, as a consumer, find it worthless and they shouldn't have even started it, but now that you're here, might as well give it a bit more of shot than that. To completely bail on what you have after 10 no's is also the wrong move.

Doesn't seem like he asked the question, "well, what would you pay for?"

Do you know why the oss project is stagnant? It would seem if they wanted it to gain traction they would use that repo as the main one. Someone else mentioned service fabric was for stateful services, but at this point stateful services in kubernetes are mature.

>Who's forcing folks to use gender neutral pronouns "at all times"? You only have to use them for people who have requested it.

An excerpt from Monica's side of things:

>Under some pressure I said I don't use singular they or words like chairwoman but solve the problem other ways (with examples)." She said the moderator linked to her question and called her a bigot.

From what I have been able to gather, it would have been very difficult to comply with the proposed CoC without literally asking someone what their ponouns are or risk a villation. Whether or not the latter would have been actually enforced I can't say, but it all sounds rather half baked and would have led to a very vague definition of how one person is allowed to address another.

I also don't agree at all with the set of new nonsense pronouns like ze and xi. It's not useful as a language construct and I'm not ready to hand over the linquistic reins to a tiny minority.

>The real number of people who would be happier with a non-cis identity is probably much higher, somewhere around 5-10% by my estimate.

I can see why you doubt the 0.6% number (many people won't admit it), and that's fair, but your number sounds completely fictional. 10%?! C'mon. That requires some backing up.
Good point about landfills, they serve as carbon sinks when plastics make it there.

173 is less than 4 years if you shop groceries once a week or so, I already used mine longer than that (aside from a couple that I lost). Never washed them either. They can last another 10 years I think, unless they are lost.

Those bags are bad idea for random shopping, but they work well enough for regular trips. Just keep them in the car.

I expect people waste more cotton on socks and t-shirts, but that's neither here not there.

One reason is that volunteers in these moderation positions begin to see it as a symbol of status and the power goes to their heads. About this time last year, Digital Extremes had to pretty much fire all of the Warframe chat moderators for abusing their power.

There's also the issue of scale. Back in the day, online communities were much smaller. There were fewer online gamers, and network latency often restricted the range of a community geographically.
I think you haven’t used a good ebike. I have a ebike with the shimano steps motor. I’ve been riding it almost a year commuting, and it’s very sublte and natural the way it adds power to my pedaling. There is a torque sensor and pedal speed sensor that makes all this happen.

I switch to my steel frame street/mountain bike without power assist and it just feels like I’m riding a heavier bike (which it isn’t)

I disagree; I think it IS their business. Healthier employees cost less to insure, and health insurance is a large cost of employing people.

If the American people don't like this, then they need to vote for health insurance to be totally separate from employment. But Americans won't do that, because that's "socialism". So we're getting exactly what we've voted for.

If employers are expected to subsidize your health insurance costs, they have every right to your health information.
The Fry's in Renton, WA doesn't have much stock, and what they do have is mostly very bad quality off-brand stuff (e.g., the keyboard section has just one or two brands of keyboards, I'm guessing from suppliers that weren't smart enough to ask for cash up front). They had a section of garden tools at one point.

Employees appear to be well trained not to say anything negative, mumbling vague promises of restocking soon.

It's been this way for months. I am surprised they have not shut the doors.
Even then it would still be useless. Windows updates also get stored on disk, so the disk space requirements grow over time.

You make a good point.

But I don't think you have to be an aggressive type-A man to make $100K in the US.

At any income level in the US, there are more men than women making that income. Most likely the same is true across the world.
Thanks.

Looks like my old MacBook Air (model 6,2) is not supported, but its 11" variant (6,1) is. I'll give it a try when I return home from the holidays.
What might be the most interesting aspect of this is that...

company executives now (again?) think it's ok for them to dictate lifestyle choices on people that have nothing to do with how the business is executed as a matter of employment. And, it has nothing to do with religion.

>> 100% of donations received go towards funding diversity programs.

Are there any organizations that use their donations to focus on supporting developers of actual open-source projects?

Diversity is great an all, but it makes more sense to focus on the people who are actually doing the work rather than the ones you hope might do the work.
I definitely hope so. We need all the players we can get.
On a more serious note, I wonder what the size of Windows looks like when compared to the amount of storage you could buy for $200 at each point
That doesn’t contradict my point that the Canadian govt did more than the US govt to stop smoking.
It is true. My pet pigeon stomps his feet on the ground then joyfully runs to me pretty much demanding to be picked up when I enter the room if I've been elsewhere for any extended amount of time. And he likes to perch on my leg and sleep when I have my feet up on the foot rest.
It's a good pattern because it regularly forces you to deal with pods/nodes going away so that the system is designed to handle this well without human intervention. There is no system where nodes don't go away because of hardware errors/updates/decommissions, so you might as well establish it as unexciting routine from the start.

>what did you think you were responding to?

The part I was quoting. OP wrote multiple paragraphs.

I mean we can argue about whether "the state of anticheat on this game is absolutely horrific" refers to automated or reports but given article I was pretty certain the section I quote was automated. Anticheat is generally not understood to mean manual reports as best as I can tell. Its the well anticheat software

Besides the Linux bans are probably not user reports Driven..
Perverse incentive structures are the fundamental reason US healthcare is so expensive and stupid. It's not "greed" in a simple sense, and it's not "regulation" in a simple sense. It's a system of interacting problems that needs treated in a systemic way.

Blaming the insurance companies strikes me as the political equivalent of yelling at the cashier.
> but by that over 2 magnitudes?

Why do you question the claim?

The power consumption doesn't scale between the two by the quanta of miners, it scales differently because the algorithms are different and thus the power consumed is different.

I have no idea how the algorithms differ nor how the difficulty differs among the two, so I don't have an intuition about how to guess whether or not they should scale relative to each other. I suspect that ethereum's market cap would be lower and probably have lower mining rewards therefore less capital invested in its global mining pool. I suspect that ethereum's algorithm requires more energy per block than bitcoin's, but I have a hard time guessing how much. Especially since it's a little less mature, maybe fewer ASIC miners so even less efficient in practice.
What difference? Which is worse?

Chile has massive income and wealth inequality. What good is being "rich" in terms of raw GDP if in practice that wealth goes to a small elite?
Exactly. Founder myths gloss over the starting details heavily (perhaps because then they seem merely lucky and hardworking).

For example, a recent Musk biography spent maybe a page on the part where he became successful, and a Jobs one just a paragraph or two.

I'd like to see a compilation of these details.
Horses' tails are (entirely?) for whipping flies. Some lizards' tails are for sacrificing when chased -- they separate from the body relatively easily. (I learned that the hard way as a child.) Some tails are surely evolutionary detritus. And I'm sure there are other uses.

For animals in which the tail is heavy enough to actually affect their balance, I believe you're right -- they generally do more acrobatic stuff than we do.
> It had been a bit of a working assumption of mine over the past few weeks that if you could improve the health of the patients then, you know, the doctors or the hospitals or whatever would pay for that.

Wow. That's not how any of (especially 'for profit') healthcare works.

I think it's a good heuristic that you definitely shouldn't build a product if you rely on getting money from 'some profession or some institutions or whatever'. This indicates that much more research into your future customers and motivations is needed before you attempt to create business.
Please go find out the definition of "market share".
That's all beside the point. The focus of the discussion was whether JScript could be described as a new language ("you have reinvented...") that's basically Javascript but worse. It can't, because it fails the "new language" test: it's just a different name for the same language.
Jumping on the Central Computers recommendation, I highly recommend checking them out if you're near one of their stores. They have good prices on the things I've checked, and they are a pleasant place to shop. The employees are helpful if you ask, and they won't harangue you if you just want to shop quietly. One of the few shops that lacks that concentrated misery that is so common in retail.
I couldn't agree more. It's one of my all-time favourite games. I replay it every few years.
“Irrational” is not what I intended by “seriously consider Apple or IOS”: my intent was that after having considered the trade offs and what Apple is likely to do in the future, Apple and iOS are not something you would seriously consider as a contender. Apologies for any part I may have played in that misunderstanding.
I can't comment specifically on the details, but one consideration is that Ethereum's mining hash is designed to be ASIC resistant.

Bitcoin is entirely mined by dedicated hardware that's incapable of doing anything other than mining Bitcoin. Ethereum is mostly mined by GPUs that can obviously be repurposed for other applications if need be.

If the electricity cost for Ethereum mining gets too out of control, the miners can just point their GPUs at some other task. Whereas Bitcoin miners are stuck with sunk cost of rapidly depreciating capital, and pretty much will never turn even during electricity price spikes.
If you're going to eat it, you've got up to 4 hours. Two hours is the time to get it out of the danger zone if you're going to leave it in the fridge. But if you're going to eat it rather than store it, the guidelines are more lenient.
7 Nutritional Deficiencies of an Ex-Vegan
Fry's was a great place to shop for electronics, back when the only alternatives was WeirdStuff and Quements, both in San Jose/Santa Clara area. I was always entertained by the spill-over merchandise (personal care, snacks, etc.), reportedly from the founders' Dad's grocery store line...

I still hit the stores in Campbell or Sunnyvale, as needed, although we got to referring to it as the "F" word due to the frequent trips to have to return "re-certified" parts. Their testing of returned merchandise frequently left much to be desired. I learned to avoid those stickers ("... Frys warrants this product...").
Vote kick is only effective against cheaters that make it obvious. For the 5% of cheaters that are more subtle about it, there's a good chance their team won't vote to kick them. And since the TF team disabled spectating players, confirming that a player is skilled vs cheating is nearly impossible right now.

Thankfully, the number of cheaters (in US) is low enough that I can requeue if things get out of hand. Hopefully it stays that way.
I wish he could have invested more in the idea - I think it's an amazing concept but the creator pulled the plug too early. Sales cycles in B2B can take months, and in healthcare they can take years.

Especially the doctor's feedback, she described the possibility of changing her habits slowly as she got used to using the tool.

Unrelated:

"I always have the best interests of my patients in mind, but, you know, it’s not like they’ll pay more if I prescribe Lexapro instead of Zoloft. They won’t come back more often or refer more friends. So I’d sorta just be, like, donating this money if I paid you for this thing, right?”

This line kills me and it's exactly why I hate the healthcare industry. She clearly understands that the software could improve patient outcomes, but describes it as a donation and still wouldn't change how she writes prescriptions (out of laziness, I guess?)
That sounds like how CompUSA and Circuit City felt like before they closed.
