I've been using one of the knockoffs for about 6 years as lounge/work chair. It's comfortable for things like reading, listening to music, and sitting in video meetings, but not the best posture for heavy typing.

I like the design and it fits me, but it's worth pointing out the lack of adjustment. Unless you want a purely decorative chair, I recommend finding someone with one you can test drive.

The seller I bought the knockoff from has since evaporated, so that's another potential concern if it ever needs repairs.

Why does the Gov't allow lawyers, real estate agents, doctors and so many other professions to promote/engage their services such that they benefit having the client / patient spending money with them yet there is never any guarantee of successful result for the client/patient ?

I'm not "focused" on what women find attractive; if you have a link to a study that backs up your anecdote that attraction to dark triad attributes is evenly distributed between the sexes, please post it.
Yeah, that makes more sense than radio emissions, thanks.
True...

But the difference here is that you've prepared an asset that can only be sold in one place.

To be honest I use elixir. Docs are better anyways. For timeouts that information is in the standard library, for example

https ://hexdocs.pm/elixir/GenServer.html#call/3

Note that call is even more sophisticated, it incorporates a liveness check on its counterparty to quit out before timeout if there's been a catastrophe. Note this is effectively a simple form of backpressure management that degrades availability gracefully under stress in favor of ensuring the integrity of existing connections. Because fallibility is so baked into the runtime, every good library incorporates timeouts where it's sensible.

For connection pools, it's not explicitly part of the standard library but basically everyone (maybe not whatsapp) uses poolboy:

https://elixirschool.com/en/lessons/libraries/poolboy/

I have never used it myself, yet, but I trust more experienced devs have incorporated it successfully in ecto (rdbms) and Phoenix (web framework).
Well the natural numbers are the decatigorification [1] of the category of finite sets.

Weren't there multiple studies showing that games gained experience is useful for the real world?

* Social - How many people have learned to trade and avoid scams IRL by playing RuneScape? No RuneScape player would have falled for the recent "double your BTC" Twitter scam.
* Strategy- From all kinds of games (chess, strategy, fighting games, shooters, etc.)
* Working in teams - MOBAs, Rocket League, Shooters. You start flaming your team, you lose.
* Health - I know people that hate doing exercise, yet they played hundreds of hours of Table Tennis in VR and losing weight.
* Self-esteem - Games allow people to clearly know when they are really good at something. They also make it easy to see progress. So, you might feel like you suck at everything IRL, but you find that one game that you are good at and then people even respect you for that and look up to you.
* Mental health - Might be for escapism but also could help you express your anger or other feelings in a game instead of the real world
This list could go on forever.

> They're self contained
This is so, so wrong. I don't know if you are a gamer or not, but gaming communities are huge. Once you start playing a game, you will want to discuss it with others, learn from others, share your experience with others. Not only that, but through a game, the game developers communicate to you in a sense that no other experience can (books, movies). Yes, the "bits" that make up a game are self-contained as any other physical object, but the story behind them and what they express spreads way further than themselves.
I think "real" software is a lot more self-contained, plus most of it is created to hinder value creation, not to actually create value.
And the Rust compiler ships with a Rust interpreter, used to evaluate const fns (functions whose output can be determined at compile time).

I have no idea how you're supposed to find this organically; Here's the PDF that tells the tale:

https://opportunity.herbalife.com/Content/en-US/pdf/business...

In 2011, in the US ~351,000 people were on the roles as individual sellers. The pdf even acknowledges "Single-level Distributors benefit from buying Herbalife products
at a preferred price for their consumption and that of their families, and for many this is the only benefit
they seek."

Those 351,000 people are the product for the "Supervisors"

Here's another one for 2013: https://opportunity.herbalife.com/Content/en-US/pdf/business...

400,000 people who earned nothing at all from herbalife as individual sellers (they could potentially profit from selling product, but that's quite rare, it looks like 50,000 people bought more than the minimum [see footnote in pdf]).

Next, 43,000 people who could potentially earn money from their downline (see the 400,000 chumps above); but only 2,300 actually did earn anything at all.

Next, the actual winners in the pyramid: 73,000 people at the top. But wait, 18 percent earned $0 and another 56% earned $250 on average. So how many people in the pyramid earn above minimum wage? Something like 2,600 people.

I don't know how much time the average app get looked at for but is it long enough to be feedback? I don't know what this app looks like, but if a screenshot of the app is a screenshot of the app what more can you do?

Ideally, I would assume the creators of the app would know their customers well enough to choose.
Theoretically, any language can be interpreted.

Compilation is just interpreting what a program does and producing machine code (or other code in the case of transpilers) that computes the same thing.

Interpreters are just that, but instead of producing code, they run code in themselves thats computes the results directly.

One could even consider machine code just “obfuscated” assembly code. In that sense, machine code is just another language that also could be interpreted (intepretation-based emulators like Bochs) or compiled again (JIT-based emulators like DOSBox).

This brings up a slightly related question: is there a language that can’t be compiled?
Trends in algorithmic progress https://aiimpacts.org/trends-in-algorithmic-progress/ is the best work on this topic I am aware of.

2000x is believable, but that doesn't mean the latest algorithm will run on Apple II. Algorithmic speedup is often hardware relative. For example better cache locality is less important in older hardwares.
Well, modulo "responding to a submission" versus "reporting a vulnerabity", we can certainly agree on that at least.
I wasn't that specific. I am pretty sure the general principle here is that any fee you can avoid by rigorous use of the card sensibly, within your limit, he feels its acceptable to "share" as a benefit the fee free element, where the profit for the card company is in the late paying, over extended customer.

Carrying a balance and paying card interest rate when secured and unsecured loan rates are several if not ten or more percentage points lower (card interest was 20-23% in 2019 when bank loans were under 10% in my economy) provides the profits which allow richer card holders to avoid costs. This still feels like predatory behaviour to me.

His "i got the points be like me" is herbalife marketing of the gilt edged lifestyle which attracts the chumps who pay the cost of his fee free rewards. Its not implicit, it is explicitly why they offer him and his income bracket the deal.
Angst about what you've accomplished is about the processes in your mind -- not so much about what you've actually accomplished. For that reason, accomplishments alone won't calm it.

In an odd coincidence, I did happen to complete my PhD before 35. I had also learned fluent though non-native French. I had already met a wonderful girl and had had 7 children with her.

None of that stopped me from having the same feeling that life was passing me by. I still have it all the time. It's a feeling. It can be useful. But feelings don't have to be rational.

I wouldn't be surprised if Musk and Bezos both look at their careers so far and feel frustrated and impatient from time to time either. It's just how (at least some) minds work.
Funny enough, helicopter commuter services used to exist, primarily because they allowed one to avoid surface congestion.

Of course, this is only true as long as the skies remain uncongested from other helicopters. And these services died mostly because fuel costs became too large, and operating helicopters on sky-high helicopters in dense urban environments was very dangerous.

I love the mesh HM Aeron Chair because my clothes won't get sweaty during the summer.

One of the best things about the Bay Area is that HM chairs are always easy to find used on Craigslist for ~$250 and they'll last 10+ years. That's not expensive at all.

Tip: replace the wheels with "roller blade" chair wheels. They're quiet!
I too am confused about motive.

6-7 years ago I used to use Statsd+Graphite. Statsd is kinda like streamz (although it works in a completely different way, but from the app perspective it's similar), and Graphite is like Monarch. It had a pretty ugly UI, and I think today people use Grafana as the front-end instead.
Chains also have the ability to leverage themselves much more than a small business can. We saw a lot of heavily leveraged chains going bankrupt within a month or two of the start of the lockdowns.

Great job! Couple suggestions:

1) When roads twist around on themselves, draw a bridge or some other kind of hint to indicate the path invaders will follow (e.g. https://i.imgur.com/t3fuboT.png). In Wave 9 it wasn't clear they'd take the long way through the loop.

2) When the tab goes into the background, pause the game instead of erasing the user's entire tower layout and progress.

Also a general observation / opinion: Does anyone else feel like flexbox syntax is unintuitive? I feel like you could achieve the same thing without rotating axes, and with more consistent naming conventions.
To be more accurate though - it used to be a lot worse than it is now. Even as recently as a decade ago the stuff they gave you to drink to clear you out was much more ... what's the word... let's say unpleasant. They now have stuff that is just as effective clearing everything out but without such unpleasant sensations...
And what revolutions come out of Ford, GM and everyone else for all that money?

The only ones doing real new work that is available to buy instead of investing ludicrous amounts of money shaving half grams of fleet CO2 from doomed ICEs and ungodly amounts of lobbying are Toyota with their Prius, BMW with the i3, i8 and whatever is slated for 2021 and VW with their modular platform (and all three are still not even close to catching up to Tesla). The rest are dealing, at best, with toy projects, greenwashing, that will not have any major impact. After all, SUVs have fat margins while most electric projects are cash burners.

As for Target, it's a brick and mortar store. Apple do have some hefty expenditures, sure, but they're luxuries (e.g. Making your own CPUs is cool but ultimately not all that for a product that most users won't have even the slightest clue of the trade-offs that went into that decision) - 30% is quite a lot for software, especially in a market like apple's.

Sure they do. They just prohibit you from putting that in your app's UI. If you were selling your software in a box at Walmart, they may well refuse to display it on the shelf if you included a message stating that Walmart had just gotten 30% of the software's and that the publisher had just gotten 20% of the software's price. Similarly, many publishers would likely refuse to publish such a message.

I don't think the question of why Apple doesn't allow such messaging is all that interesting.

I do think it's interesting that:

1. Apple is more likely to notice such a message buried within app UI, because they review apps. Walmart would probably only catch it if it appeared on the packaging.

2. We're more likely to hear about it , since we're more likely to know someone who has published an app on the Apple store than we are to know someone who has published an app through a traditional channel then marketed it on retail shelves.
It's not recommended to get what are called full body scans - one of the main reasons is all the false positives and unnecessary alarms it causes. Most of us have some artifacts that will show up on various scans and will look exactly the same next year and next decade.

On the other hand, many tumors are now discovered incidentally when getting a scan for something else. That tends to also cause higher anxiety levels, but at the same time allows addressing a real issue at a much earlier stage.

This is incorrect. The title of the article does not contradict this statement. The title does not claim that money is not created, it states that banks need no magic powers to create money.

It absolutely sucks when that happens. Something similar at age 10 (4th grade) when a teacher accused me of cheating because the handwriting was that of an adult, and it was "obviously" my parents who did my homework. I tried to convince her by proposing to get a pen to write something right there. She wanted to see them nonetheless. They came and explained the situation.

It also happened in college because the lab reports were too good and "obviously" plagiarized, or the grade was too good for someone who never attended. They'd literally "normalize" my grades, but by that time I felt more contempt than outrage towards education and academia, which have been torture since day 1.
Meh. These are more like objections to the first few weeks of adjustment, than to the new steady-state.

People are quite adaptable. Look at the giant changes in working hours, open hours, & distance communications from the Covid-19 epidemic. People got a crash course in the variety of other times/workplaces/rhythms that others considered necessary or possible... and managed.

The decision-supporting knowledge "it's 4am there" could simply become "it's 2 hours before sunrise there" - and trigger a confirmatory "are you sure?" dialog, or offer to remind of the ideal time-to-all, from the communications device you're using.

(In fact, there's a giant range of potential new ways to signal ambient awareness of not just a destination region's openness to calls/messaging-interruptions, but every individual person's openness – and global UTC might be just the impetus to drive innovation in the phoning/texting apps.)

An EMP attack from an enemy nation is unlikely but a solar flare could happen at any time.

There's another thing: Apple already charges developers a fee every year. And they also sell ads on the App Store (which you basically have to buy otherwise you're a 'needle in a haystack'). AND they sell ads to your competitors, which use your (sometimes trademarked) keywords in their ads, which means you need to buy even more ads to counteract those.

Apple wins, and wins.
I don't have inside details on the investigation; three is just an example. It shouldn't be difficult to id different firing positions from spent casings, so if investigators believe it was multiple shooters I assume traces on the ground reflect that.
"Don't trust timeouts" is a better title and a better approach. The fundamental problem with distributed systems is you can't tell the difference between slow and non-responsive/crashed services. Simple timeouts are rarely the answer. Here are the obvious ones depending on what part of the problem you are trying to optimize.

* Keepalive - Have the server ping back on a short timeout while it's working. Use a very long timeout for the server response.

* Asynchronous queues - Use queues for requests and discard traffic/error out when the queue becomes full.

* Idempotence - Send another request if the first one does not return in a reasonable amount of time.

* Broadcast - Don't fetch the information, have it sent to you through UDP. Great for cumulative metrics. If you miss one, no problem, the next packet has the same data.

* Cancellation - Cancel the request if you don't get an answer.

* Multiple requests - Send requests to multiple services and return the one that gets back first.

Forcing clients to pick timeouts amounts to punting a hard problem over to somebody who has even less idea how to solve it than you do.

Edit: clarity
> This article insinuates that money is not created out of thin air under the assumption that the thing being created is an IOU and therefore not money.

This is patently false. If you actually read the article, it says very clearly (multiple times) that the IOUs created by banks are money.
