This is basically what the blog post explains, though without some Haskell knowledge it is probably hard to understand. (Sorry if I explain something you already know)

The basic idea is that types can be “recreated” in an untyped way with only functions. It is also important to note the distinction between sum types and product types. A sum type is basically a (disjunct) set of types, for example Shape is a sum type on Rectangles and Circles (in this case only these things are considered the available shapes and every shape is either one or another). A product type is more straight-forward, basically any struct/class with multiple fields is an example, for example Circle is a product type with a radius and an x and y coord of its centerpoint.

For example here the two-ary methods represents the two types:
return (lambda visitCircle, visitRectangle : visitCircle(x, y, r))
Is going to represent circles, by awaiting two functions that work as constructors, and dispatching to the first one. Rectangle is similarly defined, only dispatching to the second function.

The part that corresponds to pattern matching/the second dispatch is basically where we would like to use our sum-types (either a circle or a rectangle). It provides both implementation in the form of a pair of functions, the first one corresponds to the circle’s area-definition the second to the rectangle’s.

The “magic” happens at calling area(exampleSomething). The area function will return as seen a pair of functions, basically every possible implementation on the possible types. Now that pair of functions will go to either a Circle ‘constructor’ function or a Rectangle one, and as we defined those, it will use up respectively the first or the second function in the pair based on its “type”. Also note that the correct arity of parameters will be passed to the selected function.
No, it's "inherently low value" because most people can do it, and there will always be people desperate enough to do it. In fact they'll do worse jobs for less than a poverty wage, if given the opportunity. We could pack them into tiny boxes and send them underground to die of preventable diseases, then say they owe US money for the privilege. We enact labor laws because we can/have done this and find it distasteful. Being a server is not an "easy job". I wouldn't trade it for my developer job, even if the pay was equal.

The business and customer are getting an excellent deal because the model is anti-competitive and driven by human desperation and inequality. Which is why we have a minimum wage to limit the exploitation. The job isn't easy, and it is an important one. Restaurants for better, but mostly for worse, are staples of our society. They're valuable jobs.

These people are giving up their entire lives basically. All you have is time on this earth, and they're asked to give all of that for nothing, so you can live in the lap of luxury. I don't want to live in a world without bartenders and servers. I consider their work valuable, and think they deserve fair pay.

There's commercial products for locating cats outside; probably GPS and either a mobile chip to pass the data or LoRa. $75 or so, but I'm sure they come with subscription costs as well because monies.

There's a cat in our neighbourhood with one of those, it's funny to walk out there in the middle of the night (we violate curfew and walk the dog close to midnight) and see a cat with a collar with some blinking lights staring at us from the bushes.

Kinda wish one of our cats had one of those when he went missing, but it's likely he would've lost the collar at some point anyway (he looked like he squeezed himself through a tiny hole and couldn't get out again until he lost a ton of weight two+ weeks later when he came back)

So only the raw texts, probably. 10TB sounds about right for that.

Your point about incentives is exactly the structural problem here. I've been a consultant years ago and on a human level we loved projects that ran well. You feel good about yourself and your team for helping the client quickly and efficiently.

However, zooming out, it's the incentive system that's completely broken: there is no skin in the game. Consulting firms are too detached from the consequences of their advice. Nassim Nicholas Taleb wrote a nice book about this phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_in_the_Game_(book)

Coincidently, I just started reading the "The Pragmatic Programmer, 20th Anniversary Edition, 2nd Edition" on O'Reilly [1]. I read the original book many years ago and the second edition is completely updated and just as good. For those not familiar with the original, it's a refreshing take on programming as a craft as opposed to just "coding."

It's probably cheaper than people would expect because the long run across the deep ocean is a lot more straightforward than most people would expect.

1. For the deep ocean parts of the route, cables and associated equipment (such as repeaters) are simply spooled out from the back of the cable laying ship, to settle on the ocean floor.

2. For shallow waters, the cable is buried. This is done by dragging a plow along the bottom which cuts a furrow and puts the cable into it. The plow has an altitude control and a camera so that an operator on the ship can control it, and a magnetometer to check if the cable is properly buried behind it.

3. For areas where burying isn't practical but they anticipate ships will anchor, they use armored cable.

For #1, the costs are going to be the cost to operate the ship while it slowly spools out the cable and the cost of the cable. For #3, same thing, but with more expensive cable. For #2 I'd expect it is similar, except the ship goes a lot slower (about 0.5 knots when using the plow, compared to about 5 knots when laying surface cable).

Finally, there is this.

#4. At the shores, they need to avoid damaging reefs and other habitats, not wreck the beach, and things like that. The cable needs to be in conduits that are buried or anchored. And building those conduits needs to be done in a way that does not mess up the environment.

So what you've got then for a long cable project is two ends that present underwater construction projects, the shallow waters near the two ends where you have to bury the cable, and then the long deep ocean stretch where you are just spooling the cable out.

This suggests the costs are going to have a component that doesn't really depend on how long the thing is (the two ends and the shallow waters near the ends where burial is needed) and a component that is proportional to length (the long run between the two shallow waters near the ends).

At 5 knots, it would take about 1000 hours to lay the deep sea part of the cable. If the ship costs $50k/hour to operate, that would be about $40 million. (I have no idea what it costs to operate these ships, but Google tells me that big cruise ships cost about that much to operate, and I'd guess that a cable laying ship is cheaper).

Assuming the underwater cable itself is 10 times as expensive as regular cable, its about $150 million for 9000 km.

That's brings us to about $200 million for the deep ocean part.

Well you would think they were solved by the way people react to Tesla however just reviewing NHTSA records and enthusiast forums you will see manufacturers have all sorts of issues which includes fires and more.

This does not excuse Tesla, I do own a model 3 from September 2018 and still find it a great car, but the idea that other manufacturers don't have problems is ludicrous. Ford had to issue a STOP SALE on Mach E because of issues.

Tesla has introduced so many innovations from OTA which other manufacturers will have to adapt to as well remote vehicle services which for the most part you cannot get elsewhere. VW suffered a lot of issues on this, their software stack is apparently really a mess.

I wonder if managers could discriminate against employees who sell a majority or all their shares. These managers might get this info from payroll who now no longer have to handle the sale of options or something to help offset the tax burden for the employee like they would for an employee with shares and this knowledge could then be used by a manager to suggest the employee doesn’t believe in the company or something.

An unfinished project on mine is to try to track my cat outside using an ESP32 LoRa module attached to his collar.

Correct, you're not actually refuting anything I said. It's much more difficult to do diligence on a private firm than it is a public firm (due to SEC requirements). That's my entire point.

In the "what if Theranos was a SPAC" counter-factual, it's just as equally likely that dumb money never makes its way to Theranos in the first place because institutional short sellers have a vested interest in turning the logs over and kicking the tires long before Fortune magazine runs cult-of-personality profiles on the founder.
Spot on about using little to no text.

TedX has a pretty good style-guide about slides [1]:

What goes in my slides?

•Images and photos: To help the audience remember a person, place or thing you mention, you might use images or photos.

- People will understand that the images represent what you’re saying, so there is no need to verbally describe the images onscreen.

•Graphs and infographics

- Keep graphs visually clear, even if the content is complex. Each graph should make only one point.

•No slide should support more than one point.

What should the slides look like?

•Use as little text as possible -- if your audience is reading, they are not listening.

•Avoid using bullet points. Consider putting different points on different slides.

> They are starting from scratch, all they have is physical locations. And presumably infrastructure to manage those locations.

I don't know if you know this, but that's actually kind of a big deal. Nationally distributed brick-and-mortar stores with logistics and connections in place to supply these locations are expensive and time consuming to stand up.

Those locations and logistical infrastructure could be a huge opportunity for them to pivot with, or you could think of it like collateral/capital that they could liquidate for pivoting in a different direction.

> No software teams, no user base, 0

Believe it or not, not every business has to have teams of software people churning out gamified node apps.

Not every company needs to start with a user base to abuse and exploit in order to be successful, and not every company needs to become the next Amazon/Google/Tesla in order to be successful and contribute in a meaningful and sustainable way to the economy and provide value for customers.

I sincerely hope you don't approach every challenge you meet in life with the same defeatist attitude. Use your imagination and don't give up!
Yeah, I have to object to the OPs tone... maybe it was unintentional. Not only is OP wrong about servers (would you quit your corporate gig if the pay was the same? I 100% would not), but I actually don't want to live in a world without bartenders/servers. I'd hate to have my meals come out of a mailslot, or whatever.
people do the opposite all the time? buy a stock and then write articles or go on tv saying how great the company is, even if it could be a fraud

as long as they disclose the position i don’t see the issue
Yet, a consulting company that constantly has overrun projects won’t get repeat business nearly as much as the company that comes in and gets things done. PR and marketing may help you land your first project with a client, but it’s only good work that will keep that client coming back to you. Otherwise they’ll replace you with different consultants.

I did web dev from 2012-2015, until I moved into doing security engineering. I started doing some React tutorials on the side in December and now have a small project at work that uses it. I do not consider myself a web dev, so I will take any actual web dev's opinions over mine, but React seems nice!

At first it seemed a bit complicated, but looking back at the stack I left behind in 2015 (LAMP, numerous JS libraries, Bootstrap, some Ruby was starting to creep in), it actually is a little more consolidated.

I guess I should bookmark my comment and check back in a year from now in case I am still using React and see how my thoughts change by then!

I think virtually every restaurant or bar has fine print that any tip over a certain dollar amount goes to the owners. The excess does, that is, and the staff keeps the part of the tip that is under the threshold. It's usually somewhere between $1k-$5k.

The article points to McKinsey's task to "turbocharge" opioid sales, for a company that sold them for "improper use." So there are obviously a few outstanding questions attorneys general are currently asking about what people at McKinsey knew from "listening to client problems, looking at data, talking to employees, and presenting findings" on that campaign.

It's disingenuous to cast immigration concerns like an "aging boomer thing". The vast majority of Americans are fine with vetted, legal immigration. According to Pew, nearly 80% worry about illegal immigration "At least a little" to "A great deal". Furthermore there are real concerns, costs, and benefits to be weighed with immigration of all kind (legal and not), and dismissing them is just naive.

To list a few different people find concerning: depressing wages of domestic population, rapid cultural change of domestic population, brain drain from foreign population, strain on tax / social systems, ineffective vetting allowing cross-border contraband and criminal activity, and so on.

All of these are valid and deserve scrutiny and investigation. Obviously there are many beneficial aspects to immigration, and nearly all examples of very successful civilizations in history were at a crossroads of many cultures. Just wanted to make it clear that the immigration debate won't "die with boomers", and it shouldn't, because it is an important discussion to have.
