>Apparently, many such coffee studies are sponsored by firms with an interest in publicizing coffee's benefits. It doesn't mean the science isn't good.

Usually the science isn't good even with no conflicts of interest, with 80% or more of studies being non-reproducible BS full of errors and cherry-picking.

Now consider the percentage when there's also conflict of interest...

Construction is pretty different now. Supply chains are much more complicated and can be multi national even for a domestic house whereas in 1920, you would probably be able to source all the materials for a house from within 20 miles. Legislation, liability and insurance are more complicated. The standard contracts are typically updated every 5 years or so to take account of this. As a result the JCT standard building contract is 120 pages long now compared to about 10 pages in the 1960's.

I think about this all the time too.

The problem is that the payment industry is a) heavily regulated and b) has monopoly from the likes of Mastercards and the Visas.

In order for Micro payments to succeed, someone (probably a well funded and connected team) has to figure out how to break through the 2 points and only then there is a chance.
This is one of those problems that even though would need software but is more of a "tech enabled" business. Sure we can code an MVP to take "micro payments" quickly but how will they be processed ? If it goes through the usual processors, it doesn't make financial sense and then you have the regulatory stuff to mitigate fraud and money laundering.

It is also a chicken and egg problem. In order for this to work even if you get past my 2 points above, you need to partner with content providers and get all of them to use your centralized service. Sounds great for the consumer (kinda like google pay?) but may not be great for the provider as they are not limited to a centralized aka "I get to dictate" provider.

If anyone is up to solve this, hit me up for brainstorming. This is a billion dollar idea (not joking) but is not something that can be solved bootstrapped unfortunately. This is one of those problems which needs significant VC funding to put together a bunch of connected people and make things happen.

I think they should just go with the Twitch (Amazon) strategy. Allow for IAP for subscriptions, but just factor in the cost of Apples % cut. Still offer the option of paying you directly on your website or whatever for the $99/year, but for people that really want to subscribe through the app they can pay $150/year and have the subscription cancel when they delete the app or whatever

Highest prices != Increased restaurant revenue

It depends on the deals negotiated with the delivery services. For example, the same restaurant can negotiate a 33% commission with Postmates per delivery and a 18% commission with Grubhub. In this case they will need to increase pricing to break even on the delivery order, but overall they can still make less revenue.

Paradoxically, the way to help create solutions to the climate crisis is... the same way we got into this mess - by following the money.

Most people realize that we all need to create impactful solutions to the urgent environmental situation. An obvious reason why this isn’t the case already is because environmental and economic incentives don’t point the same way.

In order to actually get wide-scale change happening quickly, we have to make use of the main driving factor in our society - capitalism. Broad appeals to people’s emotions unfortunately aren’t getting us where we need to be fast enough. Let’s instead use people’s self-interest to solve issues.

But why only tax the "largest source"? It might make sense if it's 90% sugary drinks vs. 10% sugary pastries and candy, and if for some reason taxes on pastries and candy were hard to calculate or collect. It would make less sense if it's 51% sugary drinks vs. 49% pastries/candy. And taxing sugar-the-substrance directly would make the tax easier to compute and to collect at the source as well.

The real reason for targeting sugary drinks vs. fancy patisserie is that the drinkers of sugary drinks tend to be less well off than the eaters of fancy patisserie and less likely to have a political lobby.

An important note with specifically Stardew Valley and a lot of the indie games coming out nowadays is that they release early; they work for up to a year, then release the game in Early Access to start the flow of money coming in so that they can both keep working on the game and get a lot of instant feedback.

I don't think that approach would work well with story-driven games, but for e.g. Stardew Valley and a lot of the infinite gameplay indie games being made nowadays it's ideal. Also, they will add features all the time, so people will come back to them on a regular basis (e.g. Factorio, KSP).
It certainly is in comparison to someone raised illiterate, or in any number of unfortunate situations. But in comparison to the privilege of a university education? I'm a bit surprised by the suggestion. If self-taught knowledge is really the marker of privilege in 2020, I'd expect it to be far more attractive than going to university by now. On the contrary, it is not, because learning from books has a much lower bar. You can't use it to select for the well-connected.

Nuclear fallout is pretty dangerous on earth, what about the Moon? Would the risk be lower, since there is no life on the lunar surface? So, for the ultra long range missions that are being considered, could fissile material be transported first as cargo to a lunar base with chemical rockets, assembled there and then used to launch longer range missions?

I will admit I’m not sure what the timelines are; at this point of time even a lunar base seems beyond my lifetime.

What’s even more confusing, I think, is that even if someone defines one cup as a specific volume, approximately how much of a specific kind of coffee grounds or a specific instant coffee have to go into it? There can also be huge variations in the proportion of water used for black coffee, for example.

I’m looking for some way to get the caffeine content of specific coffee types and brands, even if those are approximate.
I added a second one, and things got substantially worse. Devices would stick to the faraway access point because they could still just see it.

I tried things like "roaming assistant", to forcibly disconnect clients below a certain signal strength, but that interrupted ongoing WiFi phone calls and such.

It's possible that 802.11k and r help, but at the time I investigated, many clients didn't handle that properly.

Instead, I mounted one access point on the ceiling in the middle of my apartment, and WiFi is much better.
I'm not so sure about so many parts of this.

I love working on ARM, but with the licensing model I'm not sure how much of a positive return Amazon would really be able to squeeze from their investment.

It also potentially brings them a truckload of future headaches if any of their cloud competitors raise anti-trust concerns down the road.

Beyond that, I think Apple, ARM and AMD get a lot of credit for their recent designs - a lot of which is due, but quite a bit of which should really go to TSMC.

The TSMC 7nm fabrication node is what's really driven microprocessors forward in the last few years, and hardly anyone outside of our industry has ever heard of them.

I don't know that Amazon couldn't transition to RISC-V if they needed to in a couple of years.

> "My wireless printer never worked. Well it prints once, then I have to power cycle it to print again. Thanks Samsung."

My wireless Samsung printer user to work very well, but lately, various devices keep claiming it'a not connected. Turning it on manually doesn't fix it. Since I'm near the printer anyway, it's usually easiest to just hook up by USB. (This is hardly the only problem with it; sometimes it's just in a "paper jam" mood and I need to "fix" a non-existent paper jam after every single printed page. The fact that support is now by HP doesn't exactly endear me to the machine either.)
By the time I get them for those things I'm usually sitting at about 4 hours of sleep over the last 48-72(!) hours and unable to eat or (sometimes) even keep water down, so yeah, I need 'em. I wait that long so my body has a change to fight it off without resorting to antibiotics, which sometimes does work. Though also to avoid spending two and a half hours being sick and miserable in the car, at the doctor's office, in the car again, at the pharmacy, then in the car again, rather than at home resting, until I just cannot avoid it.
It's likely the Technical University of Munich based on the hyperloop piece. Though I had to do a double take because it sounded incredibly similar to some of my experiences at Georgia Tech. If you want to know the kinds of universities that do these kinds of things and do them well, its useful to look up some of the student design competitions and see who regularly attends. From recollection, MIT, CMU, Olin, Dolhousie University, Vanderbilt, IIT, RPI, Embry-Riddle, Harvey Mudd are a subset of the places where you can have this kind of experience.

> What I don't understand is why people want the government dictating diet through taxes.

Public health is public.

> It only affects poor people anyways.

True fact: poor people in the US suffer obesity at higher rates than rich people do because cheap foods are more packed full of sugar. Unregulated pollution of the poor diet is a class equity issue. The market response when sugar is penalized _correctly_ is that cheaper foods become more healthful, not that the price floor increases.

Yup, that's exactly the problem. Once you have it incorporated into an overall rocket (and aren't just looking at the engine in isolation), the gains are smaller. And the engine and fuel are significantly more costly and risky.

The fuel to fill up a Falcon 9 costs only a few hundred thousand bucks. The fuel to fill up a nuclear thermal rocket ... would be astronomical in cost.
Taxing sugary drinks can lead to more consumption of proven-safe sugar subsitutes like saccharin and erythritol. And that's a good thing. It will definitely boost sales of all-subsitute drinks such as diet coke, and regular sugar drinks will try to use low sugar and more sugar subsitutes.

We've already seen producers lowering on sugars due to the trend of avoiding sugar. People won't buy cheaper cuts of meat. Producers will try to dodge the tax by using sugar substitutes, and it will result to overall positive effect to the public health. Also, Bacon does not have bad influence on your body. Fat does not cause cardiovascular problems, diabetes or other accusations of diseases it faced in the 70s.

Fruit juices are bad for you because of, you guessed it, sugar. Creating an incentive to swap out juices for real fruits? Or an incentive to drive producers to extract sugar and replace them with sugar substitutes? I'm in.
