The answer is very simple: Food is what is called strategic interest for a given country.

Food is essential for live, you have no food, you die. If you or your children starve you will pay anything for food. Society's stability depend of the supply and price of food.

E.g It is said that "Arab's spring" was about "people wanting freedom". It was really about food being ultra expensive in the north of Africa and speculators hoarding most of the rice and cereal in the world so they could benefit from the situation.

We have seen recently what happens when countries ignore strategic interests. US companies that made face mask and ventilators like 3M sent manufacturing overseas to places like China. When the Covid emergency broke, China did this:

1. China has higher priority to any other country.
2. If your country criticizes China(and the communist party CCP) in any way, you must censor them or there is no face mask for the people in your country. No censorship, no masks.
3. If necessary, China will nationalize factories.
4. The surplus will be sold to the highest bidder. China will send already paid cargo for higher bidders.
5. You praise China, even when the virus came from it. You demand no investigation.

That was self inflicted damage done by the West ignoring strategy 101.

You can not let other countries control your basic food supplies or anything strategic. Europe can not send most of their food by sea because the US has the biggest navy in the world. So if you do something they don't like, they just can block your supply chain and make food prices skyrocket and change governments so they become puppy States.

In fact, one of the secrets of US' success was that it could expand from the East Coast to the West by land with no European interference.

It sounds like you're saying that to avoid drowning you merely need to swim upstream carrying all your workers. Anyways, by rich I mean the 3%, not the 0.001%. Those who are very comfortable, but who aren't captains of industry. Professionals vs business people.

Can't they (and this is an honest question) do well by locking their income into things that will get more expensive, when measured in currency? Sure their purchasing power will fall, $ for $ with everyone else's, but by selling that real property when needed they'll have more of those $s than people who rode the currency into the ground. Right?
Not really, everyone (or just every woman, or man, however) could be predisposed to whether they give birth to sons or daughters; on average then it'd still work out OK. (Might even be better, since it'd discourage interbreeding.)
The feel on your skin certainly depends on the type of wool used. I have some merino wool boxer briefs, which are utterly soft and comfortable. They're made from organic mulesing-free wool, which is what you should be looking for, if at all possible.

I also have some military surplus (Finnish M65) wool pants, which are made primarily for warmth and durability, not so much for soft comfort. Even after a sorely-needed rejuvenation with lanolin, they are still made from thick and somewhat coarse wool, which is obviously better for winter pants than silky soft merino.

Personally I don't find wool to be annoyingly scratchy. While I certainly do feel it a little bit when I put on a coarse wool flannel shirt before it warms to my body temperature, but it doesn't bother me. I know some people absolutely can't stand it, but I don't think anyone would have issues with good merino.
having just learned it, async is not really complex, so much as "a thing that needs to be explained to you" kind of like how "pointers need to be explained to you". Sadly I don't see any good resources on that, yet.

> it doesn't magically hold third-parties responsible

Whatever scenario you imagine where some $bigtech benefits from using the software, there is some identifiable chain of events from where the software was produced, which can, with some effort, be defined and specified in a general way in the license, in terms of a contract that allows each party in the chain to supply to the next party in the chain.

From that perspective they will never be an independent third party, and therefore you can specify that in a contract. So I don't see a theoretical problem to this, just a practical one of specifying this both precisely enough to be enforceable, and general enough to cover all real cases.
As I said, the people who invested in Tesla are clearly richer, and the people who did not aren't. In the end does anything else matter?
> the more bugchecked and field tested the code is, the more obscure any bug that surface is?

Right. A battle-tested codebase only has subtle errors, as the obvious ones will all have been fixed. An immature codebase has subtle errors and more obvious ones.

> GCC compiles to alot of architectures. I have a hard time imagining any modern language compiling to all those platforms without quirks in practice.

Compiler bugs are a separate issue from undefined behaviour and surprising language subtleties. With mature compilers they're pretty rare, but they do happen.

JavaScript is a good example. There's no undefined behaviour in JavaScript. That's vitally important given that JavaScript engines have to be able to run untrusted code. If JavaScript code is able to cause undefined behaviour, that's a serious security issue in the engine. Such bugs do happen, of course, but they aren't all that common. Generally, JavaScript runs fine regardless of whether you're running on x86, AMD64, or AArch64. Same goes for Java.

(I admit I'm ignoring the possibility of a constrained/contained kind of undefined behaviour where the JavaScript context might see things go haywire but the process containing the JavaScript environment is unaffected.)
I assume this is because the US is not an EU member, so studying in Germany is not under the same conditions for them as for other EU members.

Also, Germany is somewhat difficult to navigate if you don't speak German, since you reach many roadblocks where people don't speak English (this is different in Denmark, but Denmark's nationalist party has abolished bachelor studies in English, so much for that).

Seems you get $84 per week as an allowance, and can withdraw $210 a week as a loan. These are 2016 numbers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_financial_aid_(Sweden)

You also get, I think, about $150 a month housing allowance.

So on top of your $150 + 4×$84 = ca. $500 monthly income, you only need to take about $800 a month as a loan to survive. (Remember, no tuition fees.)
You can use the time to work on existing projects and/or with other people.
What is sad to me looking from the outside it is that it didn’t have to be that way. Most of negative reviews seem to boil down to too many students, not enough support, not professional enough course management. Symptoms of growing pains. But why Lambda School had to grow that much that fast? It didn’t. It shouldn’t. It was at the expense of their students.

Lambda School seemed a great idea from the start, revolutionary even. And the investors (pg mostly) would praise how insanely ambitious the founder was. Then I started following him on Twitter and saw that. He had that drive to be the Facebook of education, the slack of boot camps. But education doesn’t work that way. A new Facebook user can start using it 4 hours a day from the first day and get all the value they expect. A student can’t. Students need time and support to learn. But Lambda and its founder couldn’t wait for that if they wanted to become a unicorn.
My question is, we know they expect to be profitable by a set date, but what will their prices be per pound? Does part of their plan include asking for a premium ?

Renewable energy will certainly spread to the shipping industry and that alone will increase the number of markets served. The key is opening these markets so farmers in Africa have more destinations for their goods as the pandemic has shown what happens when your existing market slows greatly.

On top of that: this style of farming is additive to other uses of the same land area, not exclusive. Having a traditional 100-acre farm demands a loss of 100 acres of land in opportunity cost. Vertical farming allows to use the same land for residential or commercial development, or it allows for 100 acres of food production in only 10 acres of land.
Tbh I think it's beyond reasonable to expect when you're paying for a service that your data (or your clients') isn't funneled into another sideline. And this particular question is great timing for me, so I hope you don't mind me doing a bit of market research and get your feedback on a few things.

- Is this for personal domains or commercial?

- Are the clients 'sensitive' or do you want to protect PII out of principle?

- Do you expect to pay a premium (compared to larger providers) for client privacy?

- For records that have a distribution strategy like round robin or balanced by load, do you expect a client to receive the same result on subsequent requests?

- Is it acceptable to keep (for a record's TTL) a hash the client's subnet and the response for the purposes of only returning consistent records, or do you consider this another flavour of tracking client IPs?

- How valuable are metrics/reporting do you? Is reporting query volume at the ASN or country level enough? Too much?

Thanks.

I think that just means they hacked a machine running in the offices, not that they were literally physically on-premises. There's a rather large opaque black hole in the middle of this assertion: how are the attackers obtaining administrator credentials to the SSO systems? There seems to be a pretty big leap here from "get code inside the firewall via Orion" and "oops, now your SSO ticket private key is pwned". They say administrator credential compromise, OK, that's a pretty general class of techniques. The details would be good because otherwise there seems to be a missing link here.
For the consumer therefore it matters what the actual value of the thing they bought for $30k is.

Will it lead to a $150K job, or a $80K job?

Will not doing it lead to a $80K job?

For the company, what risk do they have if most students will earn over 50K regardless of the quality of their product?

I'm not good at economics, but I think one can look at this deal from both the consumer and the provider and see that there are flaws from both sides. Trust is key.

Codemasters accepts bid from Electronic Arts
My perspective on this is a little different — $25 is low-end for the people who currently pay for Ghost, but my environment (India) lower rung than that. So I'm not actually targeting the bottom of the developed world, I'm targeting the top of the developing world, if that makes sense. This price point gives me a healthy margin, and it opens up publication opportunities to the worldwide Fortune-5,000,000. It allows the 20-person agencies in developing countries to set up a Ghost blog without thinking twice, both for themselves and their customers. That isn't happening with the current official Ghost pricing.

Al Jazeera is 100% owned by the Qatari state (itself lacking democratic institutions), with its 2 last CEOs being from the ruling Qatari family. The current editorial standards are supervised by AJ chair man, who is Qatar's former minister of information.

So no, there's no comparison whatsoever with CNN or BBC and it's a problem that articles and information from AJ is shared without any caution.
Isn't that effectively the same thing? The fake implementation needs to mimic the API your software expects to run against, and must give valid-seeming results and also keep up with development of that external program for the variety of tests you'll run against it (which will grow, increasing the complexity of the fake). You'll of course have to do this yourself, because your vendor isn't going to do it for you. So now you have two problems.

> The ton factor becomes lower if you go to a brick university that forces challenging material and theory.

I'm just not sold on this. If you want to be able to actually work in software development then whether you're going to a bootcamp or a university there's going to be ton of extra-curricular learning and practice that you need.

I've worked with quite a lot of fresh university graduates over my career and you can tell which ones have actually practised beyond doing the required coursework, because they understand to some degree how software is developed professionally. The ones who didn't do further learning can certainly write code to some degree, and would completely demolish me in some sort of competitive algorithm contest, but they're going to stumble on things like using git and automated testing. They're also going to have trouble taking requirements and working out what to do with them.

Bootcamp graduates tend to be somewhat the other way round, they get the professional side of things, but struggle with the actual software development because they have a shallow knowledge of each element.

I wonder if this will eventually lead to even more efficiency (less people involved in per output). Vertical farms lend themselves much more to standardization than conventional ones imo (many small machines instead of few big ones). If all the often-failing parts could be built in a way that they can be replaced automatically I can imagine a giant farm being run by a single guy who's main task is receiving replacement parts and sometimes untangling messes the bots don't know how to manage.

The other big benefit of being independent from environmental factors might also come in handy in space or as a cheaper alternative to fighting climate change.
How to answer over 200 investor questions
I believe the following statements are simultaneously true, yet rarely simultaneously acknowledged:

1) The First Amendment says nothing about which content companies must produce, promote, or allow with their resources and on their platforms.

2) The principle of free speech extends beyond the First Amendment or government censorship: our society has a considerable interest in the open exchange of ideas and information, especially by the least popular among us, so that we may conduct the difficult conversations which are the prerequisite for progress, and possess the freedoms of thought and communication which are the prerequisites for enlightenment.

3) The increasing centralization of control over new media in a handful of large technology companies (mainly Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter) poses an intense threat to the aforementioned open exchange of ideas, especially where such ideas may threaten business interests of those companies, or merely taint them by association with something or someone unpopular.

4) The lack of collective immunity to viral forms of political disinformation on new media platforms, the speed with which such disinformation spreads, and the active, asymmetric promotion of that disinformation by certain political actors, poses a paradox of tolerance of a sort, threatening the continuation of the open society on which everything good depends.

These four truths form a tangled knot which must be cut, but to do so, we must first see its whole, and not merely one or two of its threads.

Bit of a fallacy to think you’ve become a better programmer by spending $5,000 per month on instruction instead of $625 per month, isn’t it? Or that the student with 6 months instruction is somehow more employable than the student with 48 months?
Foreign students usually don't fall under the same funding and have to pay full price, while EU citizens are entitled to the same level of support as localssl.
