Seems like a pretty clear-cut case of using branding that they don't own or have rights to, and that this is false advertising. But yes read the ToS to see if those terms are buried in there somewhere. Maybe the ad has "find food like that at Saddleback..." which would mean it's not technically false advertising if they take you to an aggregate/search page.
To be honest I think it's super easy to get lost in the details, I'm constantly fighting the impulse to do something more than the obvious idea that gets something working and once the pieces come together, I'll be better able to see how things fit together =)...

I've never heard of hard war, but it seems to have that old-school elite gameplay?

In terms of finding the fun, it's hard to say? I believe a lot of that will come down to giving players a decent view into what's going on in the world around them, good ways to interact with the system and making sure that player has interesting things to do.

Automating actions such as setting up trade routes is something I've been thinking a bunch about, I've just got to be careful that it doesn't leave the player feeling like they have nothing to do, factorio and the zachtronics games do some cool things here, but one thing at a time ;)...

I don't have a public repo to be honest, at the moment I'm more fixated on trying to get enough of an mvp together that it feels like a basic game.

It's also all in clojure, which I'm sure someone will tell me is a terrible idea, but it's working pretty well so far and eh, work with what you know =)...

How long have you been waiting? I think it is here to stay given how quickly it has become prevalent in real life as well as the web. We just can’t do anything as long as we are dependent on them for anything. It sickens me as well, but it can’t be avoided.
I've seen the talk. There are many talks.

No license guarantees success in any dimension. Not MIT. Not BSD. Not Apache 2 or GPLv3 or WTFPL or any of the PolyForm terms. Most open source projects, as I suspect you define open source, fail. Very little uptake. Very little outside contribution. Net loss, financially speaking, for the developers.

You're free to argue for or against whatever meaning of "open source" you like. But disagreeing with you, or refusing to accept the brand you'd force on them, does not make anyone a liar.

I was quite doctrinaire about the issue myself, for many years. It wasn't until I got beyond reading what the OSI said about itself---parsing the OSD, reading its history, dealing with the mailing list process, seeing the shifts in FSF position, reading up on the "open" buzzwords wars before 1998---that I realized the "right answer" I was so proud of having wasn't so right and rigorous, after all. I regret how badly I treated others, for the sake of my own feeling of "correctness".
What’s an explainer platform?
I guess I would say, it depends?

Existing profitable MMs aren't all equally fast. So the slower ones that trade on the same exchanges or even the same indices have to be profitably trading at a wider spread.

HFT isn't a concrete term so I guess technically there's no hard line to draw for how fast your roundtrip times have to be to be profitable. But if you are trading wide enough where you think latency isn't a factor, aren't you really just predicting where you think the book will go "far" ahead in the future? MM is inherently a reactionary business (with some effort put into anticipating the price moving against you in the very very short term).

Not gp, but I have a PinePhone Braveheart currently running Fedora. Battery life and lack of apps is what prevents me. I listen to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks so the UX around those is really important to me. Other than that I could live full time in the PinePhone (and be really happy with terminal access).

Battery life will get there, as will apps I'm sure. The real killer feature will be when Android apps are runnable.
While you you could argue that this is a convention -- I'd say this isn't even a common one -- it's still a long way from being "standard".

Yes I agree with this. I use shell instead of make, because make wrapps shell and its syntax collides very poorly with it. For example, the PID is now $$$$ and not $$.

Most people forget to mark their targets .PHONY, so they have a subtle bug in their build (touch build; touch test).

----

But shell also suffers from the problem where it doesn't list the commands. I filed a bug for Oil shell here:

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/issues/751

I mentioned a couple other "frameworks" there like just, go, Taskfile, etc.

But it should really just be built into the shell, since it's so common. And there should be command completion too, which I think bash-completion has for Makefiles on many distros.

Apparently there is no standard name for this kind of "task runner". But I think shell makes a lot more sense than a custom format, because there are many instances where you need a simple loop or conditional. It scales better. (And Oil also fixes bad shell syntax while remaining compatible: http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2020/01/simplest-explanation.ht...)

For those saying they don’t want to tip through the app because DoorDash keeps the tip. Choose Other and put $0. Give the driver a cash tip. I have a friend who delivers for Whole Foods and he says it’s better that way because the payout on tips doesn’t get borked in the system or slip into the pockets of the delivery service.

Yes I know we’re trying to avoid contact with items between people, but it could be easy to protect you and the delivery person with some hand sanitizer or wipes.

Just my two cents.
"You seem to be pulling this out of your ar*e, since it is inconsistent with all U.S. reporting"

China had no new Coronavirus cases for an entire month and even before this, it was very few. With its population density, number of people, and how fast the virus spreads, this is scientifically impossible.

Either nobody is being tested during this time, the tests aren't accurate, or the numbers are a complete lie. All are just as bad and don't prove that China has anything 'tamed'.

The article you linked to was from yesterday. They have only just started announcing new testing again because of the bad global press and now the numbers are increasing again.

I would also look at your sources. Many US news sites have large funding from the Chinese government. Hell, the WHO won't allow Taiwan at the assembly and actively ignored them when they were contacted about the virus in December...which would have saved many lives and prevented the potential global disaster we now have today.
Won't that tracking capability be going away pretty soon?
That can be a lot of effort, and it's essentially taking money away from the low wage worker.
Those sound like relatively useless statuses then. Getting people together doesn't increase inherently increase the usefulness of updates, although sometimes it helps by accident since people ask questions. When it works, it's just painting over bad management.

Personally I would prefer i64, but the following are defensible:

- Treat it as a special arbitrary precision type, similar to Go

- Choose isize because it's the native size for the platform

- Make it a compile error when the type can't be inferred

The rationale for i32 in RFC 0212 is basically, "well C compilers usually do this", and some hand waving about cache (why not i16 or i8 then?!?). Then they chose f64 instead of f32 for floating literals, which undermines the cache argument. So really, Rust did it because C compilers do it, and C compilers do it to simplify porting old software, which doesn't apply to Rust.

Agreed. Async stand ups are an agile smell.

If you can successfully get unblocked async over slack/email/whatever, there isn't a need a for standups. That just means you have a functioning line of communication for your team.

Stand ups should solve the problem of "I need to get unblocked and I can't get my teams attention effectively". If async "standups" solve that, great. But it's not a one size fits all solution, and imo, shouldn't even be called a standup.

>But for the life of me, what I can't figure out is why some teams have good ones, and some don't.

IME it's the level of interaction of product/management/scrum-masters that make the difference. Good standups consist of just engineer focused updates/requests. Bad ones are progress reports and have participation of anyone not actively contributing to the sprint.
I know when I try to use my competitors trademarks in my Google Adwords, Google rejects my ads every time. It's typical Google bullshit that DoorDash gets a free pass here.
Skimming puts it lightly. If the driver's base pay was $5, for instance, and the customer tipped $5 through the app, the driver would receive $0 in tips because PoorDash would use the tip to offset as much of the base pay as possible. That's theft and borderline fraud because the term "tip" implies that the money will go to the person responsible for delivering your food, not Tony Xu the CEO.

What’s a fast AI chip? :)

What process node Google uses for TPU, one possibility for an AI chip, is not in the public domain since v1 but it’s very unlikely this chip is on the bleeding edge. Cost/benefit is likely not there for this use case. But only Google knows for sure since they run the cloud and get to define “benefit”.

Well, you're already supporting the restaurant and their workers with your funds by ordering food there. It's entirely possible most the waiters and waitresses at that restaurant are now out doing delivery gig work because that restaurant with health benefits and vacation pay (which likely paid them minimum wage and relied on tips to make the job worth doing, so good luck using that vacation pay as equivalent income during that time) isn't scheduling them to work.

For me, if it comes down to the cooks and limited waitstaff left at the restaurant and getting paid by the restaurant get a few extra bucks from me or someone that lost their stable income and is scrambling to make ends meet, I definitely want it going to the latter. I can't be sure what situation the drivers are in, but to me it seems more likely their position is less stable.

I think you're redefining what a useful standup is, a little bit. I agree with you though, I'd just phrase it as "standups are pretty useless" and "it's good to have people share context what they're doing".

So maybe that's part of the problem, standup means whatever it happens to mean. You could replace the entire title of this post with "context should be shared async".
Daily standups are not a solution to people not caring about what their peers are doing, is my point. You can't make people care, even if you make them show up.
Sears was supposed to turn a sleepy suburb into a boomtown. It never happened
Every story has a framing, and this one's an implication of typicality. By the way they were framed, the clear implication was that it's no big deal for anyone to learn to code as a very late second career. It's (also) a mistake to say that, because they didn't explicitly say that view, they weren't promoting it by their choice of framing and emphasis.
I would add that most folks who go into business are motivated primarily by seeing the dollars appear, while most "hackers" I know are primarily motivated by the rush they get when they've understood the new problem/solution.

That's painting with broad strokes obviously and a person can be motivated by both. But that's the axis I would draw the distinction on.
Especially in CA, where it's propped up by umm prop 13!

Every default should trigger a re-assessment when the property changes hands. CA recently put into place a rule (law?) where a change of control of the ownership entity also triggers re-assessment, thereby ending the long running scheme of selling the LLC owner rather than the property itself.

If enough of these bad (metric-wise) loans default, there could be a very far reaching negative valuation impact, ie well beyond just the defaulted properties. I expect rents will go up, even as property values go down.

What argument? Just to be clear: we're talking about people taunting the recently laid-of with messages that they should "learn to code." At best, it's just a mindless meme.

>>> It was pretty well documented that buzzfeed-style news sites were casually promoting the idea that any laid-off worker could just learn to code and make that their new job.

>> Where?

> Where to start? It was pretty thoroughly discussed. From a quick search:

> https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/learn-to-code

I read that article. I don't think it supports your idea that Buzzfeed or any other outlet was "casually promoting the idea that any laid-off worker could just learn to code." The article cites:

1. A Buzzfeed article that appears to be mocking the idea of out-of-touch techies encouraging people to "learn to code" as some kind of cure all solution: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/should-... (Should You Learn To Code? Find out if there's been an article written telling you specifically to code or not.)

2. An article about Mike Bloomberg criticizing out-of-touch techies like Mark Zuckerberg encouraging people to "learn to code" as some kind of cure all solution: https://gigaom.com/2014/04/09/michael-bloomberg-you-cant-tea... ("You’re not going to teach a coal miner to code. Mark Zuckerberg says you teach them [people] to code and everything will be great. I don’t know how to break it to you . . . but no.")

3. A profile in the Guardian about some former coal miners who actually learned to code and started a web and app design company: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/21/tech-industr....

4. Another article about the same coal miners. Apparently they wanted to prove Mike Bloomberg wrong: https://www.wired.com/2015/11/can-you-teach-a-coal-miner-to-....

Then it's all stuff about /pol/ threads and harassment.

I think you've been misinformed.
The article says DoorDash charges restaurants an advertising fee. I would assume that includes a contractual agreement that allows DoorDash to use restaurant trademarks in their advertising.
Regarding the sentence you quoted, the author is trying to summarize Brandon's views and I am not confident they are doing so in the most clear manner. I would go to source, Brandon, to really understand. That said, I believe (could be wrong) that he is just summarizing a version of deontic logic:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deontic_logic
You need to be able to clear out enough space to wander around a room blindfolded, too. That's really at a premium right now if you're not living alone; kids, roomies, parents, and spouses are all fighting for space in homes that were perfectly adequate when everyone went out to work or school most of the day.
Not only ads but these online ordering companies go as far as to setup fake websites under fake domains that make it look like an official website to unsuspecting restaurants that did not have websites.

Previously, they would also take these fake websites and use them to claim the official website on the Google Places listing so they can show up at the top without much SEO.

But often their fake websites would show up organically and appear as the real website, and then they’d take a 30% fee for “referring” the customer.

I learned about this when I was trying to sell an online ordering platform so restaurants could setup their own websites with ordering. The problem was sales was slow and expensive, and small restaurants weren’t savvy enough to understand they’d need to spend a lump sum to setup their websites to fix the problem, or even how or why the problem existed.
> The boss says to build a thing, you build the thing.

Sounds like a typical entry-level job to me.

> They're not making the world a better place; they're not providing a valuable service; they're just exploiting and extracting and skimming some dollars out of the market.

Firms providing useful services through their trading allow our economies to prioritize resources more efficiently. Better resource prioritization increases prosperity, which makes the world a better place in a multitude of ways. The useful services provided (for example, increased market stability) go beyond the seemingly-simple benefits of "increased liquidity" and "tighter bid/ask spreads" that are often mentioned. This becomes easier to appreciate once you delve into the enormous number and diversity of traded instruments and their interrelationships. It's far more than just cash equities.

Firms pursing parasitic trading are harmful to markets. Their behavior tends to backfire in the long run due to a combination of regulatory action and natural market dynamics.

Characterizing all (or even most) HFT firms as harmful is inaccurate in my experience.
> when you order delivery from one of the large delivery partners like GrubHub or DoorDash - not only do you pay a delivery fee, service fee, and a generous tip to the driver. But we restaurant owners also pay...these fees can range from 15% to 35% of your entire order.

If these fees are too high, then why accept orders from these providers? If you don't get enough orders otherwise, then these services are providing value. If you do, then simply refuse to discount for these providers and handle the orders yourself.

This post, and others like it, seem like they're asking consumers to avoid these services, but it seems like it would be much easier for restaraunts to refuse to participate.
> If they continue to use your name, issue a C&D order!

Not to mention it's probably in the DoorDash/GrubHub agreement. That's probably how they get away with using that trademark.

> Well, then stop partnering with them!

Say you hate books-a-billion and you want to only sell at mom and pop bookstores. Good for you, but what if that kills 70% of your revenue?

When talking about trying to make a living and pull in enough to stay afloat, these people often don't have the choice. You don't publish your ebook on Amazon Kindle and only on Barnes and Nobles Nook, you cut yourself out of a huge revenue stream.
React doesn't have to commit to the DOM if there are no changes, but it still has to render each component and compare the output. Even if the component is memoized, it still has to compare the props. This is fast enough most of the time but it can become a bottleneck in some cases.
I had this happen with Hotels.com where they presented an 800 number for a hotel -- the person answering the call presented himself as the Hotel's registration desk. The entire time they are telling me this and that corporate discount code isnt available. Until I asked some key question and realized they were a 3rd party trying to book you at top-rates.

I NEVER use Hotels.com for this reason, it is meant to extract as much as possible and take away the pricing power from the hotel.

I would go with probability theory but try to probe your Instructor through the course to see if they can give you more insight/advice on how these concepts are translated into ML.

I know from an associate that their experience with GCP makes it seem like they aren’t able to handle the edge cases for customers. My associate tells me that GCP sales team will talk up all the capabilities, but when it comes time to move from a competing provider, it’s like a new road for them. Unforeseen outages because something that scaled well in AWS/Azure is not scaling as it should in GCP. Chalk it up to new learnings for the team, but having to reach out to GCP to fix or allow something that AWS/Azure already makes easy to do shouldn’t be difficult, or a surprise.
