If you are thinking about how to create an #AI #application, remember that it can help you change the way your business works and make it more efficient. You just need to be ready to take advantage of new opportunities when they come.
Interesting? Let's take a closer look
Good! It’s long irked me that the responsibility for dealing with plastic waste lands on the individual and municipalities, when they have little to no say in its production and regulation.

Current residential recycling is more about feeling like you’re doing good, rather than actually making any impact. I can dump cardboard, all types of plastic, and metals into my magic blue bin and believe it’s getting sorted and dealt with appropriately, when in reality the plastic portion is just landfilled or shipped to a poorer country.
I'd love a good riot against Physicians in 2021.

2 centuries of corruption has lined their pockets and caused the rest of us to avoid medical care.

I say this as I'm married to a doctor taking home 200-250k/yr. I don't mind shooting myself in the foot to save life.
I’ve witnessed music scenes come and go. It wasn’t until recently I noticed the startup culture or visible ethos, at least online, morphed into something new. Perhaps like music we are seeing new trends evolve or we are in a transition phase where the new culture leaders are yet to emerge. But, PG is like alternative rock in in 2020 and beyond, out of style.
In NL a hydrogen station needs to follow loads of safety requirements. So not just fire safety, safety in general. This was raised as an issue around hydrogen gas/fuel stations.

Note that due to increase of EVs the safety requirements for garages have been increased (in NL). E.g. more monitoring is needed, automatic link to fire department, plus changes in construction requirements. Construction bit is due to an EV burning for longer. They basically demand thicker concrete walls and so on. This from memory and it's only what I've been reading (interested in safety; I don't work in construction).
The success and bitterness footnote seems very off. In my experience and observations bitterness seems to be more driven by "scarring" than current success. A bad situation doesn't help but a good one is no antidote.

There is the "one who made it out" archetype for one example. The kind who left a very unsuccessful community and have even less sympathy for them than those taking a priveledged background for granted.
Off by a magnitude, but can you see any future where entry level car manufacturers like Hyundai and Toyota will snatch the market from the German auto makers?
This is fantastic and this is just about how you should do your Linux product.
Interesting - this is a pretty well studied issue in printer market - absent the pairing process can often just move hardware attest to a new cartridge.
Have used 1Password before they had a client on linux and I have to say: I'm very relived now that I can now authenticate with my system keyring and not by entering my master password into a browser extension.

(also much more convenient, can even use my fingerprint reader, if I wanted. On Linux!)

(should be a browser feature)
It's awful everywhere. The Privacy screen doesn't load at all on Android for me, it flashes up for a moment then an error displays. I have to open the Web App to view it.
This is on amd64 and Docker. Old versions of packages don't have wheels for Python 3.9 and they don't compile on modern compilers and library versions. The Annoy package only has a wheel for macosx_10_14. I was finally able to get the packages to install simultaneously by changing the Python version from 3.9 to 3.7 and the specified scipy version from 0.19.1 to 1.5.4.

The next issue I bumped into is that some of the required data files are not available: https://github.com/divyakoyy/codenames/issues/1
Networking is slow and painful, but unfortunately I'd say it's pretty necessary. It's a resource just as important as customer empathy or programming ability.
Sales of such health and wellness products such as skincare creams/ointments/whatnot is mostly about marketing and distribution channels than traditional "sales" (i.e. talking to people). You will, of course, need to talk to people to craft distribution deals, but that's more about convincing merchandizing folks that consumers will purchase your product.

That said, given the product, I'd suggest a two prong approach that combines push and pull.

The pull means working on creating demand. This will probably seem more familiar to you. Try to engage with the target audience (climbers, outdoorsy people, etc) in forums they frequent. Online social media, etc. If you can afford it, try to get testimonials, product placements, endorsements, etc. by people who are known to the community. Even give-away freebee samples at events. There's lots of tactics around this. I would suggest reading "Guerilla Marketing" by Jay Contrad or similar books for inspiration.

The push is about sales distribution channels. It's great that you've already set up a web store. Perhaps try to get listed Amazon and other online marketplaces (tmall, etsy, etc.) But more importantly try to get retailers, both online and offline, that cater specifically to your target market to carry your product.

What I'm describing is a fairly traditional approach for lifestyle-oriented goods of this sort. It'll be a tough slog as there is always a lot of competition, but hundreds of companies succeed at this every year. Best of luck!
Kinda expected. Could be useful experiment in flutter-desktop. But it is far fetched for paid product.
Yeah, a lot of it's older but it's a huge high-quality film back catalog which Amazon doesn't really have today.
In my CTO role, I run into a lot of people who want to integrate with my company. It will certainly help to have a company site and use a company email address to show legitimacy. Have a specific use case in a tailor emails and explain why you want to integrate with my API and why it will benefit my company.
> I really just fucking love plugging in at home to charge (and so does my family, and no I'm not just saying that)

Why is that? When you purchase a car you buy the 24/7/365 availibility of said car.

An EV is not availible to use 24/7/365. Regardless of the human biorythms you should get a discount because an EV is less of a car compared to an actual car which is always ready to go.

With EVs you are not getting a discount, but you'd have to pay a premium. This is a subpar outcome for the consumer in my book.
I don't think so. I saw a lot of that kind of mentality in university among CS students, but it faded away immediately once I entered the workforce.
After going full time and all in on the project, I am delighted to present the new & innovative way to create 3D animations, directly in your web browser.

For hackers out there who wish to know the stack - it's a 82K line codebase with React, Konva and ThreeJs and FFmpeg at it's core.

I hope the promo video explains the product, and I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas and questions.
Try to get to know someone that work there through LinkedIn. Ask for introduction to someone you know. You don’t need to directly get to the person you are looking for, just someone in the company. Then ask this person who would be the best person in the company to interact with and ask for an introduction.

Getting there from inside is much easier
You are right, but considering that many people think it is too dangerous to put hydrogen tanks in cars, I wonder what they are going to say about "exotic rocket fuels" :)

For reference, here is a quote from the Ignition! book about Chlorine trifluoride. It is an oxidizer, not a fuel but you get the idea.

> It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.

I'm surprised that CNY is ranked higher than USD. How do you measure these metrics? Also, taken aback that USD is almost half of CNY's market cap.
what job do you want the FTC to do here? I assume you think there is an antitrust angle on this potential acquisition? I am an economist and that is my field. I disagree with your take, if that is what you mean.

This is a vertical merger. Vertical mergers are quite different in their welfare effects to consumers than horizontal mergers. Vertical mergers can frequently be welfare-improving to consumers.

Indeed, this is why vertical mergers are harder to regulate than horizontal mergers. The welfare effects are not obvious ex ante. This has a decent chance to be pro-consumer. I don’t see any reason for the FTC to object to this on antitrust grounds.

Most of the hate Amazon gets on this site for being a “monopoly” is extremely wide of the mark. If your prediction is that this will result in a welfare loss to consumers I would ask that you offer some evidence.
Ehh, I feel like there's some challenges there.

In the Toyota Mirai, for example, the tank is located under the passenger's seats, in a nice little 'braced' area. Likely chosen because it's the least likely location for the tank to get damaged in a collision. Also the challenge of either having to 'choose' between a 'swap' tank and a 'fill' tank, or a more complex tank that does both.
Isn't it the case that a radio station doesn't need the permission of a composer to play their work on the radio, but instead pays a non-negotiable fee?

Internet radio stations work similarly, but also distribute money to the performer(s) and label.

The core idea of forced licensing to any streaming service willing to pay a set fee could do a lot to prevent consumers from needing to pay for so many streaming services.
Maybe it’s me, but I think “fierce” has thrown a lot of people off. I would classify what you are describing as what PG terms “the bitter nerds”, not necessarily “fierce”.
What an example to choose the same week that Paul is out defending Antonio Garcia Martinez's sexism on Twitter.
Right. Assuming that: there is a fast charger available, there is no queue, the charger is not broken. When I drive from Aachen to Berlin, if I have to stop, I stop at the pump, pay - takes 5 minutes, use the bathroom maybe, get in the car and leave. When I arrive in Berlin, I don’t have to look for a parking space where there is a charger, I just park wherever it is legal to park. I leave the meeting, get in the car, stop at the pump if it needs to be and off I go. Roundtrip takes 16 hours. I can do 1000km+ on 65 litres of diesel when driving reasonably or 750km when driving flat out where there is no speed limit. I can use aircon, indicators, satnav, charge stuff in the car and when the gas runs out, I am not forced to have a snack... how often can one snack.

There was a test done in Germany. Driving from Hamburg to Munich. Instead of 8 hours, it took over 11. Either a queue at the charger, or you have to adapt the route to get to the charger, or the app says fast charge available but no fast charge was available, or the charger is broken...

Sorry, I don’t believe in electric cars but I hold my fingers crossed for h2. Fortunately the hydrogen port built in Antwerpen gives some hope.

It’s quite funny looking at all these people in their expensive Taycans on the Autobahn. Either limping 110kph or standing on the hard shoulder with hazards on waiting for adac to turn up.
Yup. Many people including myself are waiting for a viable Electron alternative to emerge, but until then Electron is leagues ahead of the rest. React Native is a missed opportunity for true cross-platform UI, but they chose not to support Linux. I'm keeping an eye on Tauri [1].

We started to use Elixir around mid 2016, we were mostly using rails/sidekiq stack at that point and started to face scaling issues with sidekiq. Moved small parts to Elixir first and then later started to use it for most of the new services. We had to create new libraries for some specific use cases. Apart from that, it was mostly smooth experience. We rarely had to tune or adjust the code for performance. Today we have a big monorepo with 20+ apps. My long term concerns are more about whether the tooling will work if we try to scale it to 100+ apps with a single monorepo.

We majorly depend on Plug, hackney, Exq, brod and Ecto.
As far as I know, 1Password does not have a free tier.
1Password for Linux Officially Released, Here’s How to Install It
I'd love to know what the going rate is for experienced Elixir developers. I'm interested because I'm toying with a side-project and can still choose the stack after the prototype, and I'm also a developer that knows both Rails and Elixir.
Is this an honest assessment though?

I'm usually running 5+ electron programs (IDE, Slack, Discord, etc), multiple browser tabs, test runners (Jest, Detox), IDE plugins (eslint, auto import, gitlens), an emulated terminal (iTerm2), multiple VMs (android, simulator), xCode, Android Studio, and that's just my base setup. From there add more casual programs like calendar, memos, omnifocus, spotify and so on. An intel core 2 duo would thrash at just 10% of that workload.
Why does he take the back cover off and complain that the air flow and cooling don’t work properly?
AMP is web cancer. Looking forward to seeing it die.
The storage problem:

You can make hydrogen from solar panels and store it until you need a refill vs. to charge your Tesla with solar, you'll need to surrender it in the middle of the day and wait for a full charge.
There is a lot of information out there on this topic. But I will try to summarize my understanding of what goes on in the USA.

There is institutional racism in our system. These are laws from long ago, that stick around due to inertia. They end up punishing POC more. When changing these laws comes up for debate, it's not that hooded KKK stand up and protect them, it's that the laws been around for decades. The laws don't affect the majority white population. They are defended uses words like, lazy, poor, criminals, bad part of town...Those words don't tend to bring to mind white middle class people. Then the laws stick around. Or new laws are pass using the same methods.

You don't have to say racist things in the US in order to defend racist laws. There are a myriad of code words you can use instead. Also, many people don't realize just how racist we are as a culture. The Christian church in America has deep racism issues.(read White Too Long by Robert P. Jones)

The US population has been raised by generations of racists so we just literally don't see it anymore. It doesn't affect the majority, so it isn't an issue. Each time a problem is brought up, it's usually dismissed out of hand. We love our victim blaming, our blind eyes, our justifications, and our fear.

Yes, there are massive incentives and money to be made in the criminal justice system. But they only exist because of who they are keeping down. And why don't we care about the ones being kept underfoot?
This.

Why is everyone ignoring these obvious solutions?

I feel like there are these enormous movements out there to advance byzantine solutions to problems we could readily address with simple new rules. What's worse, these movements champion things like break ups, which will never work for the vast majority of these firms. Many are not monopolies, and do not operate as trusts. (Though FB, Google, and Amazon come closest.) Meeting legal definitions matter to Supremes. No matter how silly the legal definitions may seem to us as laymen.

Two simple new rules. One, make the using of the private data of any user for commercial purposes explicitly illegal with draconian fines assessed per individual violation, not per user. Two, redo copyright in the manner you suggest. No more renewing for what becomes something akin to a copyright perpetuity.

These two rule changes would neuter the power of a lot of these companies.

Bowker Book API, I still can't tell if they really want to sell access. Takes months to get a reply and didn't trust them enough to even test it with that type of reply rate.
Yes, so the proper way to help consumers is to remove the exclusivity and deal with the problem directly. Preventing mergers does not do anything, except add a middleman.
If you'd rather have a car that's twice less efficient (and twice more expencise to fuel) than wait 20 minutes to charge, then you are living in a bubble of privilidge that does not reflect life priorities for 90% of folks out there
> Sure, if you decide to start there.

You seem to imply that the ethnic cleansing of the Jews from Arab Muslim countries was “caused” by earlier events. Are you suggesting that the ethnic cleansing of Jews in all Arab-Muslim states was justified by some other Jews buying land?
I have never heard of anyone judging fuel cost outside of miles/kilometers per gallon/liters.

Where the hell do you live
There is! Here's what it sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dgzKW8EKMc

Hydrogen is more energy-dense than gasoline, but it's much more of a pain in the ass. Gasoline is far denser than air but hydrogen is far less dense, so normal injection displaces a ton (30%) of oxygen from the cylinders. You need to use direct injection to get any kind of power out of hydrogen, and a very high-flow fuel pump.

Combustion is also much hotter than normal, so you produce a ton of NOx compounds; that's why there's a huge catalytic converter on the back of the Toyota.

Without the efficiency of a fuel cell there's quite a lot of loss of range. The potential for increased power+lower weight in high performance vehicles could do a lot to combat the halo effect of gasoline... or at least I hope so.

> And you sound like someone who grew up in a elitist cocoon, parroting "pseudo liberal" wishy washy.

I grew up in a Brahmin household, and that's part of why I came to dislike and question all religions. I am not some pseudo liberal like you'd like to dismiss of (If you read my comment carefully, you will observe I have bashed them too).

The biggest problem is elitist attitude among ourselves. We should accept we were not some innately superior civilization that somehow got looted and screwed by colonialists, and that we have things to learn from outside as well. That's what the right wingers in India would never get.

Savarkar must be crying in the heaven seeing all nonsense "right wingers" perpetrate today.
It doesn't sound like we disagree. Why couldn't the FEC allow the merger with a mandate that content be available on all (or a reasonable number of) platforms?

Definitely rings true.

> Make it into a cooperative discussion so they don't feel like they're the only one criticizing the subject

If these are people I have time to have regular 1:1s with, then what you're saying does make sense. But there are a lot of people I work with where the benefits from saying the difficult thing would be large that I don't work closely enough with to be able to spend that kind of time. I guess what I'm really asking is how to translate that into a culture; either raise the average trust level or lower the required trust level for difficult conversations.
They're not entry level anymore, they're huge companies, some of the biggest in the world. And yeah they have already, people used to laugh at Hyundai, now they're renowned for their quality.

I think all the car manufacturers have moved to the more premium sector. They all make good cars.
Eh, pedantry is a form of competitiveness, and all of these activities seem to foster pedantry (e.g. "that's not part of this canon!").
> close reddit's "this looks better in the app!" bottom banner

I hate that. It's self-fulfulling really isn't it, may as well simply read 'this banner not present in the app'.

A bit like those joke signs warning you not to steal/deface the sign.
Absolutely, I meant that the gains made by electric cars aren't that huge that the inefficiency of h2 production automatically disqualifies that approach.

(I do feel the need to point out that public transport saves much more though, 85% for Hamburg, Germany, so again this heavily depends on the local situation.)
Not sure what would make using a Gmail account anticompetitive, but it's also not true. You need a chrome web store account (which they amusingly encourage you not to use your personal email for) which can use any email address.
The Rockefellers and Vanderbilts of yester-century would be red with envy at the size and power of today's tech companies.
Pretty sure a lot of people’s brains broke given Trump, environment, and coronavirus.

The veil was lifted. A whole lot of the late Boomer, and Gen X are halfway to the end, realizing it wasn’t magic, and seeing sentiment for their efforts turn on them.

I’ve seen a number of folks, 40-60, meltdown over the last 2-3 years. Most of my 20-30 something acquaintances have weathered it well.

The older class though, has really been hit by reality not being as easily bent to their will given the virus, and sentiment turning against their generation acting as helicopter parents to society.

If people have varying opinions about it, it's subjective. That's the definition of the word subjective, no?

In either case, the point of highlighting one (and only one) button is to indicate that that's the default button, i.e. the one that will be the default choice when you press return. What does that even mean on a touch interface? Is this for the seven people who have a keyboard hooked up to their iBling?
Why does it say some things are correct and others not?

Of the easy questions, I disagreed with the first: a search field with square corners is perfectly fine.

I apparently misunderstood the context of the fourth, a red or blue phone icon that apparently was intended to mean "hang up" ("Destructive action button color"), but that bit of context was not made clear, so I thought it would start a call and of course chose the blue one.

Then I quit. Obviously this test is incorrect and ill-conceived.

Maybe I'm just getting old.
