Nice and informative article (which I've come not to expect from mainstream media!)

One thing they didn't mention was the idea of efficient or inefficient sleep, rather than short sleep.

I've been learning about sleep apnea lately, and I've talked to people who spend 10 or 12 hours in bed, but still feel tired. This is because poor breathing produces inefficient sleep -- you're in bed, but you're not getting rest.

I think most people are like that to a degree -- if you spend 8 hours in bed, you might get 6 hours of rest. Personally I wake up once or more a night, something I've been trying to reduce.

So I wonder if these "short sleepers" are actually just "efficient sleepers". They go to bed at 12am and are conked out with 100% efficiency until 5am or whatever!

I have had a very few nights like that, and it is a godsend. Sometimes I notice that the covers have not moved at all -- I spent 6 hours in the same exact body position, not tossing and turning!

A standard sleep study will show that you're awake many times at night, even if you don't get out of bed -- even for people without sleep apnea. But if you were resting for 100% of the night, I imagine that you naturally spend much less time in bed.
I would like to read more about this. Which of the two books has this chapter on Mexico?
Having a home is better (more successful) than being homeless. Having children to care for and who (hopefully) love you is better (more successful) than not having those things. Both of those things might be at risk if she didn’t work hard.

I think your example says more about your own values rather about society in general
So competitors agree behind the scene and nothing change.
Unless what's discussed in the Anbox section of the article (how to run apps that people came to depend on, such as WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal) is properly addressed, most people wouldn't even consider one of those phones.

We should remember that the late Blackberry phones did have Android app compatibility and still failed. Librem and PinePhone are not even at the starting point yet, which is unfortunate.
I'm ignorant - why can't solar and wind provide enough power? What about somewhere like Arizona/Nevada/Utah?
This reminds me of adding an animated gif (that's a video of someone else) as my background in Zoom or other conferencing software. The result is that people won't see "me" but someone else when my camera is turned-off.

How did schools punish students for profanity outside of school grounds before the digital age?
>Or give a better life to your children?

The problem here is that "better" encompasses a wide range of things. When people say "success isn't based on hard work," what they seem to mean is that how much better is highly dependent on luck (also, without hard work and with luck you can achieve success, but not the inverse).
When you compare the pre internet method of advertising, where the restaurants paid gobs of money to radio stations and periodicals to run an ad with no guarantee of any result, no one thought that had to be capped. Wonder what the typical ad spend was as a proportion of sales, not even considering the risk and difficulty of tracking results.
> Lastly, right now you’re saying:

> “Born in the wrong zip? And the school is failing? Sucks to be you! Not my problem”

No. That's the logical outcome of a voucher system that only rewards the most successful schools instead of fixing the others.

> Or what am I missing?

Everything, apparently.
Sorry, it's a derogatory racist slur. Not sure what makes you think otherwise.
Yeah, I don't recall shimmering ever being noticeable during the PSX era, but when I see videos clips of actual PSX hardware, it stands out to the point of being highly distracting.

The shimmer and dithering are not really noticeable on CRTs. Maaaybe if you had a really fancy Trinitron or another of the last-generation ultrasharp flat screen CRT TVs, it would be noticeable, but those weren't mainstream until pretty comfortably into the PS2+ era.

Granted, I was a kid then. If you were a professional artist or something in the 90s, I'm sure you noticed.
I did look up lot and song at the same website. The audio examples of British pronunciations provided for those two words use an entirely different vowel sound.
So you have an employee retention problem.

There's a sense of entitlement from many employers. They expect that the people they want will be available at short notice at the wages they want to pay. And that they won't have to fight to keep them. That seems to no longer be the case.
> Extending, patching, debugging will be hard in the future. I'm not even talking about hiring someone who knows haskell.

If your concerns are not about hiring someone that knows Haskell, what are they about? Sorry if the tone appears combative or accusative, this is a genuine question and I don't know how to put it another way. From my understanding hiring for Haskell is hard but the language itself is often praised. Maybe a lack of libraries?

There was a good thread on this topic a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23216852

That and Matt Levine's take on it ( https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-05-18/the-un... ) posit the thesis of an entire industry that evolved incorrectly and artifically due to near-zero interest rates and arbitrage.
I’d rather that and keep the restaurant afloat. If it’s too expensive, maybe the issue is DoorDash itself and they should lower their profit expectations. It’s easier now for people to actually dine out compared to during the height of the pandemic…

I don't think that is what is being described here.

Meal = $30, Delivery = $20

Customer Pays = $50
Restaurant gets $30 - fees% (e.g. $25.50 at 15%)
Delivery company keeps $24.50

I believe this is about capping that fees% at 15%.

In fairness, the existence of unsafe Rust means that Rust as a whole isn't safe by construction. Rust's safety system does a great job of isolating especially risky code from safe(r) code. But to prove whether your unsafe code is, in fact, safe to use -- you're back to formal verification again, or (more typically) code reviews. You can (often) avoid the use of unsafe Rust altogether, but then you're using a subset of the language -- roughly like the case with MISRA C.

We also need to be careful about what we mean by "safe". Rust's definition of safety isn't exotic, but it doesn't cover the gamut of all possible safety concerns.

Percentage of time teachers spend on crowd control instead of teaching would be one good measurement, along with percentage of children performing at grade level.

In crappy schools, little learning occurs as the classroom resembles a zoo, and many/most students are several grade levels behind.

Not ironic, because nobody that has serious money in BTC cares about using it as a currency. It's a get-rich-quick scheme for regular people, and a way to launder money for everybody else. In both cases, you need a middleman.
Right, it turns into a political game instead of a powerful and useful tool. We have no control over how we use JIRA. It's all prescribed by someone and we don't even know who or how to reach out to them. Even the middle managers don't know how JIRA is being prescribed. They go one step worse and make Tableau dashboards from JIRA to track their own metrics that are so bad it's just... like The Office. We play the game though every day and get great feedback. This feedback is never from our customers (internal) though. Although they give us great feedback as part of the game too. Our actual delivery is very inefficient and slow though. The hierarchical structure of the org is such that feedback never makes it up the chain because that's highly discouraged. So they just keep wasting money.
in AltStore’s first-party repo:

- There’s Clip, a clipboard manager that plays silent audio for backgrounding (something that wouldn’t be allowed in the App Store) and uses a notification extension to allow you to quickly save the current content of your clipboard.

- Delta is a polished game system emulator — part of another category that isn’t allowed on the App Store.

It’s also a distribution mechanism; one could host their own repo of apps. Also AltStore lets you sideload arbitrary IPA files (from backups or devs without a Dev Program membership, for instance).

IMO AltStore is cool because it lets you use your iDevice more like a computer without breaking OS protections.

> By this standard, isn't nearly all debate "artificial"?

No. Most of scientific debate eventually gets settled on one side or another, and plenty of history can be settled similarly too, even when there are multiple causes/influences behind an event. You just do the research, and if the facts are available the answer ultimately will be too.

But it's important to separate out the "big philosophical unanswerable" questions like this one, because they are different. They're really about exposing and teaching paradigms rather than having a single answer.
Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi recently argued during the company’s trial with Epic Games that the Mac’s model means that it has a level of malware that “we don’t find acceptable and is much worse than iOS.”

This is why it's not unreasonable to be worried that macOS will eventually be locked down like iOS.
This is so well done. Such a pleasure to use. Responds just like an iPod Classic did to the point I find myself anticipating the click sound on the wheel.

Nobody ever denied the fact that Hydro is viable. You're getting confused by the misleading title because you think that it's wind and solar that is powering Costa Rica .. it isn't. It's hydro.

This is a very simplistic understanding of statistics. Basketball success doesn't need to be correlated linearly with height for it to be the single most important factor.

In fact it's pretty obvious there would be a tipping point because extreme height is inversely correlated with health and mobility.

In similar fashion weight matters more than skill in boxing that's why we have weight categories. 120 kg boxer will win over 80 kg boxer 90% of the time or more assuming basic competency. But it doesn't mean that the most obese person in the world would be the best boxer.

And the correlation is even more obvious with basketball than with boxing which you can see comparing the height distribution in basketball with height distribution in adult male population [1]. Average for basketball is higher than 97th percentile for general population. That's not an accident :)

If skill is more important than height where are the 160 cm basketball players? None of them got enough skill?

In soccer 2 players widely recognized as the best in last decade are 170 and 187 cm. Different sides of the general height average.

In basketball this histogram for ALL professional players STARTS at the general average (5'9).

I work at a 2~20 person shop and other than the BigPicture Gantt chart plugin not scaling well, we're all more or less happy with Jira.

There was a lot more complaining during our self-hosted GitLab days but I can't recall a specific reason why.

How nonsensical to have this as a percentage. The underlying operational cost doesn't really depend on how much money you spent on the food.

I don't see how delivery can be profitable on < $10 orders with a 15% cap.
But will they link Pull Requests to issues anytime soon?

That person still had to earn the money for the lottery ticket, and do the work of buying the tickets. If you discount all the necessary steps except the final random payoff, it’s easy to “prove” that hard work was not required for a given person’s success

This aligns with my experience talking to lots of small startups of this size. It amazes me that 2-man shops use Jira, but they do, because they know it from their previous jobs and don't want to bother finding/learning a new thing. We also run across Trello and Asana a lot.
Disease control is possibly a more compelling argument. I've seen some articles that suggest some prostitutes primarily provide oral gratification which does not lead to pregnancy. Your argument also presumes that all sex work is heterosexual which is another problem with it.

Human sexual morality is complex. Disease control and the consequence of pregnancy are large parts of the reason sex is such a loaded issue.

This is a poor argument for suggesting people should not be allowed to provide sexual services for cash if they so choose.
Yes, I also found the Django ORM to be absolutely horrendous. The need for using a serializer was also incredibly offputting and the default behavior of said serializers was almost always unhelpful and in fact caused more work than just crafting a JSON (or XML) object as I would do in Flask. Why some developers prefer these awful abstractions is beyond me.
This is great stuff! after working w/ various Django apps for years (anywhere from 3 dev teams to 200 dev teams), it's great to read stuff that confirms my biases :D

Regarding services, I'll go as far as to say adding ANY method on models instead of handling logic in services is a recipe for disaster. How many times have you seen:

class GodModel:

@property

def status(self):

# 1 million lines of logic and who knows how many queries

I've actually seen this pattern in every Django project :(

Regarding urls, instead of enforcing a flat file, I'd highly recommend always using django_extensions[0]. You'll get `shell_plus` that auto imports model and `show_urls` that you can grep for endpoint and gives you the handler.

Food delivery has been around and profitable for generations. And there are several well-known apps in most markets. And just because a thing is illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Tautologically, indeed :)
This decision makes sense, but also is effectively a sudden reversal of previous policy. I don't understand how businesses can plan when existing policies can be changed so quickly and in an almost retroactive way.

Congratulations on the launch alex.

I run a problem validation platform called needgap, There's a problem titled 'Getting things done at individual level '[1] which you might be interested in.

There have been different solutions to the problem, But I don't think there's one which has mood tracking as part of task management. It would be interesting to see if mood tracker as part of task manager turns out to be better for productivity.

Actually, I'm intrigued by what you mean by this:

> IIRC CRDTs do not work well for Google-docs type text editing because they cannot capture intent well.

Could you elaborate? Appreciate the discussion
There was no due process for the citizens that a former president ordered to be killed in a drone attack and justified it after the fact that they were enemy combatants.

That time it was probably the right call but let's not delude ourselves into thinking that that special relationship isn't flexible when the government deems it so.
> I just don’t understand how a federal election has 50 different ways of doing and qualifying things and not one way for a position that affects the whole country.

This is how it works in the EU as well, and per the GGP commenter, the prescription was for the US to be more like the EU, which is how it was set up in the first place anyway per the GP comment.

> Don’t get me started on how it makes any sense that we don’t leverage the power of the government for something as crucial as life. Why in the god damn fuck is giving birth in this country not free?

Except there are several different viable ways of providing universal healthcare. You can have a single payer system like Canada/Denmark/American Medicare, you can have a single provider system like the UK/Veterans Administration, you can have a purely private non-employer funded system like Switzerland or the Netherlands, you can have a public-private mix like Germany, or only universal catastrophic coverage like in Singapore. Each approach has its own trade-offs, and those trade-offs are political in nature, where some States might prefer one set of trade-offs and others may not.

This is exactly how Canada's single payer healthcare came about. Saskatchewan was the first Province to offer single payer in 1947, followed by Alberta in 1951, etc. By 1961, all Provinces had some form of a single payer healthcare system. To this day, Canada's single-payer system is Provincial, not Federal. The Federal government provides supplemental funding, but that only happened after each Province independently developed its own system, and only after all Provinces unanimously agreed to the Federal health transfer. As of 2020, Federal transfer payments in Canada only amount to 22% (https://www.cmaj.ca/content/192/45/E1408).
Einstein generated multiple original game changing insights across multiple domains.

There were people who might have generated one new Einstein insight on their own - Minkowski and Hilbert were both on their way towards GR after SR was presented - but no one else was even remotely likely to have generated all of them.

Yes. Long feedback loops and perverse or misaligned incentives == PAIN. Tools like JIRA do absolutely nothing to discourage nonsense like that - and, in fact, provide features designed to support workflows which require them.
The cost to deliver meals is high.
Well, some people say it daily to their friends so it probably depends on the person and the context.
At that point, why use Django at all? Flask seems to be a much better tool for building Python based REST APIs in my experience.
The intention is quite important for estimating which workflows would be easy and what a response could be, given an atypical use case. (E.g. if this has a backdoor, when would it be used?)
The cap is on the commission the delivery service can charge the restaurant. They're free to charge the customer whatever they want to deliver the food.
It's in the employee handbook of my previous employer. I think the people writing the handbooks just don't necessarily know what the laws are (or are willfully ignorant). I had to ask them to remove a rule prohibiting any and all alcohol possession on company premises because I said that every time we have beer in the fridge or have a work party we were all technically in violation of a rule that's very clear.

You can't have a bank account if you have too many unexplained, to the bank, companies or branches in "not so nice" places. Hell, as a newcomer to Sweden you can't have a bank account until you have a personal number even though it is not necessary or legal to refuse.

Police are not sitting outside anyone's house, they do detain sex buyers from time to time and the most sensible place to do that is outside of the business
And in all that mess everyone keeps forgetting that there are plenty of men and trans persons that sell sex.
Yeah. I have the same philosophy. The thing is that, other than libertarians, nobody really agree with this philosophy. Especially the left, who loves the big government and hates libertarians to guts, sometimes suddenly pick a fundamentally libertarian position like this. This is just totally hypocrisy.
This form of argument does not seem to apply to every parallel drawn between any two things. It seems to apply specifically to comparisons that are very close fits with dominant cultural trends.

In 1800s Britain, it could be applied to reject claims such as "cholera is caused by the jews", but it could not be applied to claims such as "cholera is caused by contaminated water pumps".

Similarly, the claim "prostitution was made illegal because the Plumbers and Deliverypeople Union wanted exclusive nibs on spontaneous sexual encounters" would be impervious to this 'sword', because blaming plumbers for the problems of society is not a current trope of our culture.

Disregarding the merits of this particular instance, that seems like a reasonable general heuristic: after all, if some conclusion is socially desirable, then people may reach it even when it's not supported by the preponderance of evidence.
Their clients are tho. So going to police endangers clients, so prostitute have to be reallu careful about it. Cause that sounds like sure way to loose clients.
I just tried it on Imgur and was able to right click -> "Save video as". But yeah, I have seen a lot of more scummy sites do what you described.
Delivery services are still free to charge whatever they want for delivery. This cap only applies to what they're charging the restaurant to be on their service.
