I tried to find an example of the promotion online, but couldn't. I'm not sure what the specific mechanics were, and it may have been an unadverised deal.

So, family appears at strore, is unexpectedly gifted a gallon of ice cream, and finds they have to head home so as not to "waste" it. (What is actually being wasted is the comparison-shopping opportunity.)

Hrm... Maybe this was on an economics podcast / programme ... possibly Freakonomics. I'll see if I can't turn it up.

Reddit is another possibility.

Did he buy it or was it one of the two fund managers who work for BH?

I remember recruiting one junior and the HR representative asked that "What is your weakness" question. Personally I hate it because it almost never returns an interesting answer. However on this one occasion the junior did proceed to list off several genuine weaknesses. After about the 3rd point he listed I had to stop him from talking.

Ironically it was his honesty in that interview that won me over. For a junior role I'd rather than a rough diamond who I can shape than someone who already thinks they're perfect. And he turned out to be an incredibly good hire too.

Despite being a hiring manager for many years, I still dread getting asked this question myself. It is easily my least favourite interview question. Even the "Explain an occasion when you disagreed with your manager" question is much more favourable than being asking "what is your worst quality".
How do we know he was decapitated ? Maybe he lost his head while making hats
If you and 10,000 other people take a few gallons, then in total you match the annual water use of a single household.
Moving to an another country isn't for everyone. If you move to a richer country, foreigners are usually automatically treated differently. You go from being around equals to being the lowest tier in their social "caste" system.

I moved to a neighboring country for about 3 years. I enjoy a far better living standard in my home country with half the pay. Money isn't everything.

Require each account to have unique ID verification in order to confirm that it's a real person. Government can provide this service if there's concerns about user data. Allow users to post under a fake name in order to protect open speech, the only requirement is that it's a real person. This removes the bots. Foreign govts can still co-opt real people's IDs but it would be much harder for them.

> Wages are lower in absolute terms but not qualitatively and we probably couldn’t afford to move back to the uk and have any semblance of same standard of living. We are now trapped in a utopia and happy about it.

Can you give some example of improvements that you would need to pay for in the UK?

I'm interested.
Very and very hard if you're aiming for readability. Ć should be "intersection" of all supported languages in a sense, so it does not support features unless all targets do. For Python that would be dynamic typing.

Of course, it's possible to introduce a type like 'any' which can refer to any object, but then you essentially get untyped Ć which results in untyped Go. Which is not really Go anymore, it's more of a Python interpreter.
I wouldn't call it "native" when you bundle half an OS worth of libraries with your app, including one that draws the UI with OpenGL instead of using system anything.

The old Google chat app was better than the current one, but c'est la vie
They don't pay tax because they don't earn any money. When they sell assets they pay capital gains like everyone else. Then it's taxed when they die at a hell of a lot higher than single digits.

Not saying system is perfect but exaggerating the problem is definitely not the best way to fix it.
Oh, yeah right. Thanks. I forgot the details there. This even goes to your e.g. .bashrc right?

Tho, couldn't vim overwrite this somehow?

In any case, this legacy feature is a major pain in the ass for beginners. Today ctrl-s/-c/-v and maybe ctrl-z have another meaning IMO and sticking to legacy is messing with heads unnecessarily. Pantheon terminal manages to e.g. make ctrl-c context dependent copy/cancel.
I think I'm missing something. How do you use it for whiteboarding? Where is the pen tool?

Also, is the change log in a working state? I can't seem to make it show anything. Is it possible to close it after you've opened it?

Like for so many questions, the answer is: it depends. For some applications an address is just an opaque string that needs to be spit back out at an appropriate point. If you have such an application it’s probably not worth over engineering some elaborate solution because someday someone might want to do something more elaborate with that data.

The inefficiency of hydrogen doesn't matter as much for the use cases hydrogen would be good for: long term storage, and rare event backup (like, no wind over Europe for two weeks). There are few charge/discharge cycles for these use cases, so low capital cost is far more important than round trip efficiency.
It's specified by IATA. It's an NFC tag, not RFID, and the data is a JPEG2000 image with its hash embedded inside an X.509 certificate. There's no public root store: the national root certs are passed around between governments using diplomatic bags.

The standards are all public and anyone can write an app to verify e-Passports. There are Android apps on the Play Store that can do it, although they don't necessarily have complete collections of national certs.
Flutter is not native. They draw all the controls themselves, so there'll always be some difference between how the native platforms feels and how a Flutter app feels (due to small and not so small differences).

Journalism doesn't really have the tools to deal with a good idea that will take decades to implement in specific niches.

Something either needs to be dramatically failing, or an overnight success to make a good story.

Something being an obvious evolution and way forward in the future as part of a portfolio of other complementary technologies doesn't really come across well in this medium.

I think the story is trying to capture that the continued success of renewable energy means green hydrogen is inevitable now and that's becoming the consensus.

More likely to be sold or leased out, and the server is somewhere far away. Basically all telephony nowadays is VOIP, even if you have an old fashioned landline it'll be analog only at the last mile.
Of course, this in itself is a propaganda tactic. The truth is that nuclear waste has never actually been a problem to solve outside certain technical circles. There just isn't enough of it to matter.

There has been a lot of theatre, nobody bothered actually doing anything, and it turned out not to matter that nobody did anything.
> Wait, what is this article about? Unless there's been a major breakthrough recently (which the article doesn't seem to mention from quickly skimming through) hydrogen is impractically expensive to produce.

Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience.

As long as you produce it by cracking fossil fuels anyway, which is how >95% of hydrogen production currently works.
For all those who don't understand how this could happen, there's an important word nobody says and it explains everything:

Adultism.

There's clearly racial components to this story and others like it, but let's be very clear: this is the result of a society that doesn't value children, treats them largely like objects, and for sure doesn't care for their needs.

How can I make these claims?

There's a pandemic and yet school is still in session and in person. Did we reorganize society to protect the children? Temporarily, but when the economy started getting shaky, it was back to school for everyone so the parents could get back to work. Even if the claim of "not letting the children fall behind in school" is genuine, it's to enforce standards cultivated by adults for the sake of creating a certain type of person.

Are the systems deciding the fate of those people under the age of 18 AT ALL informed by those people under the age of 18? They are explicitly not. People under the age of 18 are there for the systems to do with as they choose. There is no solidarity with children or respect for their individual autonomy/consent.

And it's very easy to prove the systems don't care about the childrens' needs:

Humans have a finite set of needs. What are they? If you don't know, you weren't taught them. By systems designed to do something other than care for you and meet your needs. Any system dealing with children that can't produce a list of human needs is responsible for carrying a culture of adultism.
I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. I moved to Ontario, Canada in 2014 to do a B.Sc. in Chemistry. Given that I was only 19 at the time, the process was relatively straightforward in my memory. My parents took out loans to send me to university which I will always greatly appreciate. I also had a partial scholarship from my Uni which helped a lot, since international student fees in Canada are ~3x more than domestic tuition.

University was overall fantastic. A lot of ups and downs e.g. having to learn how to be studious, as I didn't study much in secondary school, and having to deal with depression, which was fun. Canadians are very friendly and welcoming, so that side of it was great as well.

I graduated in 2018 with a B.Sc. in Chemistry and got my Post Graduate Work Permit (open work permit, lasts 3 years) in 2019. I had a lot of trouble getting it, which was partially my fault, but this process is mostly straightforward in Canada as long as you are a full-time student throughout your studies and don't screw up applying for your work permit after graduating lol...

Anyways, now that I've gotten at least a year of skilled work experience, I've applied for my Permanent Residency and I'm waiting on that to stop stressing about immigration problems. I had a lot of lab experience from university so it only took me about 4 months once I came back to Canada to get a job. WORK EXPERIENCE IS SO IMPORTANT. Anyone doing university at this point should be in coop to be honest, it is the most pain-free path forward. I wasn't actually in coop but I did have the mind to know that work experience is key, even though I started off wanting to go to grad school afterwards.

I was also introduced to programming in late 2018, and now I've been self-studying since then and I'm now applying for junior developer jobs, and at least getting interviews, so that makes me happy. Although the process of job searching is incredibly draining, I'm determined to make it work!

So overall, I'm extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to move to Canada. The majority of my fellow Trinidadians don't get such an opportunity. The quality of life here, especially where I live out in a more rural area, is so much higher than my life in Trinidad, which was still decent by Trinidadian standards.

I wrote a lot more than I thought I would, but I hope this little post helps someone out someday. My experience being an immigrant in Canada has been quite great. There will be a lot of headache, mostly with regards to immigration. But from hearing stories about immigration in the US, Canada is a lot more accessible, assuming you come as a student or are skilled in a field with at least 3 years of foreign work experience.
On chrome it asks you to install "Unfollow Everything" That's asking once.
It wasn’t even a playground fight it was a fight off school grounds. Police were sent to arrest the children on school grounds. I’ll quip, schools exist for the convenience of law enforcement, as it’s a place where children congregate so that they can be easily arrested.

The children were charged under “criminal responsibility”, which is not a crime, and they did not violate the law. The police did violate the law by locking the children in detention, which can only be done in very narrow circumstances, but there are loopholes, such as using the term TRUE THREAT.
Yup. My role of accepting phone numbers is `input.replace(/[^0-9+]/g, "")`. It might strip some expected information in rare cases but good enough for me.

This works for a lot of other things that people format wildly like Canadian postal codes (which are A1A 1A1 format but many places require presence or absence of a space), credit cards (strip the spaces) and so many other fields.
If we could, it would be more sustainable to not chase bad guys or implement more "fact control systems", but make people and networks more resilient against misinformation.

I would speculate in terms of better education to make people more resistant, and controls mechanisms that limit viral spread (no matter what the content is - i.e without fact review boards).

Treat everyone equal, period. If she is hurting her team her manager needs to be aware and address it. If your manager is asking you to help her, give her some extra grace and offer your help without judgement (you should really do that for anyone). Also make sure your manager gives you guidance on how to proceed too.

One thing to consider. I absolutely treat everyone equal, but that doesn't mean I approach everyone the same, or work with them the same. Even two guys of the same age might have very different styles, one being more sensitive and another used to direct feedback.

For women in tech, life isn't always easy, and many times they will feel that they need to put up a defensive front and hide weakness (some men do too). Give her the grace to assume she isn't incompetent and just needs some non-judgemental mentoring. I've found that if you talk to people genuinely, not being condescending, and just show that you recognize it can be hard they will start to drop the barrier (at least with you) because they'll realize you aren't that person and you are open to helping them.

All that said, her manager needs to know how the team feels, and in the end her gender should never be a factor in the hiring or firing decision. With some mentoring and help she either succeeds or leaves. Usually IME, if you give people mentoring and it is just past their ability they will leave on their own, even more so when they have seen the company put effort towards helping them and they just don't get it. Guilt and embarrassment kicks in for most people and they'll leave on their own at that point.
What are the main differences you see? How would you describe the local population? While statistic indicators are very high compared to most other countries, horror stories can still be heard ("this office showing lack of common sense" etc.). Have you identified sources of high cultural production - or does it seem a land to you, say, "focussed on business but dismissing other factors"?

Very interest for practical reasons (as it may transpire).
Flushing toilets with rainwater is one thing, outhouses and drinking rainwater another. We have health codes for a reason. We modern people have no memory of what cholera is like. It and all its nasty friends are out there waiting for us to make a mistake.
Met my now wife playing online games back in 1999. Moved to The Netherlands from the UK in 2006. Learnt the language, integrated and settled here.

We're absolutely killing it here - it was the best decision of my life. We live in a safe stable country which isn't dominated by the wishes of the selfish elderly. We have a fairly well functioning state with a strong social safety net. We're both business owners, have a nice home and three happy and healthy kids.

The UK in comparison feels like a third world country - everything seems to be falling down, and working-age people - particularly those under 40-45 have been absolutely screwed by the last 10-15 years of policy. Basically, if you were 25 in 2000 and bought property then, you have a huge amount of equity. It was very common for people a little older at the time (30-35) who had the means to buy a second property, for rental. Policy in the last years has been about protecting (mainly final-income based!!) pensions, protecting property prices and indulging in the racist fantasies of the retired at the cost of the working age.

In The Netherlands housing is also an issue for anyone under 50 - thanks to the "free market" being allowed to buy up all of the housing stock. Particularly the foreign investors who operate with schemes that ensure that they basically don't pay any tax are the biggest problem. It's impossible to compete with an American corporation who pays $0 on every $100 they earn, whereas you have to pay $40 of every $100 you earn in tax.
Sorry, I should have said Berkshire bought it. I do not know the specifics, but I assumed such a large investment would have had Buffett’s approval.
> Money was in coin form but money also existed as promissory notes, land deeds, titles, contracts and countless other non-tangible forms

You are confusing money with wealth.

From Wikipedia

> Money is a commodity accepted by general consent as a medium of economic exchange.

Money is not land or a loan. It's a unit to enable the exchange of these lands or loans. That's the problem with money: It is worth something when it actually should be worth nothing.

I’ve been using a discounted cash flow model to evaluate work opportunities for years and it’s great to see an article take that approach too.

What I’ve found in my own analysis and with friends looking to join a new place is we tend to undervalue the established, current company and overvalue the startup. It’s difficult to calculate the odds of success at a startup and everyone has a different current arrangement with their existing company but in many cases I’ve calculated that the startup would have to be valued at many billions 7 or 8 years down the road to break even in total compensation. Especially so if your current role is at a post-IPO success story (that will add a lot of value over the next 8 years) where the RSU’s are fully charged, have great benefits (yay for matching 401k’s!) and a very good salary.

It not getting there means fairly bad returns so you really need to be going for the “right reasons”. Seeing startup gold is not it.

Of course the other side of it is the startup is a huge success in 8 years and your cumulative ISO’s are worth a fortune. And that dream is so alluring to people. And so unlikely.

Could also say FB newsfeed is biased towards engagement--whether that be mob behavior or controversy. It's just Lord of the Flies in virtual form.

Even before newsfeed came out, the premise of FaceBook, a place to obsess over schoolmates and avoid doing your homework, was never going to distill a positive part of society. We could see Zuck itching to paper over that original reputation of superficiality by pushing more 'engagement' (and conveniently selling more advertising). But that objective function created an even bigger problem by resonant amplification of the human id.

We might think that bringing in regulation will solve this. But like LOTF shows at the end, even government is a bunch of kids on an island. http://LordOfTheFaces.com
I think you exactly hit the nail on head, not just about Duarte, but especially about the whole "regulate Facebook" meme

Regulating Facebook, while it mantains its monopoly position, means opening the door to a very grim future.

The problem of Facebook, it's not their internal policies or moderation guidelines. The problem is its own size and prevalence in the world. And this, yes, requires bold public action. Facebook should be seen as infrastructure.
When I was young, a Google recruiter reached out to me and I joined the firm. It was the good years and I enjoyed it a lot, learned a lot too. When I was older I quit. I wouldn't want to work there now. The company seems to have changed in deep ways for the worse :(

I used typer as an example because it has a modern twist, yet is based on click which has been the leader for 7 years.

If you want something older and with a similar api (wrapping argparse), using only the stdlib, I can ask the same question with argh, which already worked in python 2.6.

So why write another one?

Molten salt reactors can be used as thermal breeders, but this is incidental to their safety properties. A MSR using 235U would have the same safety advantages.

But there are many problems with MSRs, particularly the kind that dissolve the fuel in a salt. Materials issues have not been solved, despite internet claims to the contrary, and once you're no longer confining the fuel in fuel elements there's radioactivity spread all over your plant. Maintenance will be a bitch, especially (as needed if you're trying to breed w. thorium in a thermal reactor) if you're doing online chemistry on that salt.
The article says "The first, and easiest way to address it is to reprocess spent fuel as France does." but France has a long-term nuclear waste storage project (see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cig%C3%A9o) so that seems to paint an incomplete picture?

I don't know much about the subject to be fair.
Yeah but than we would still face the fact that the total cost per amount of energy is higher than fossil as well as other forms of renewable energy storage and transmission.
Typer has the wonderful fast api paradigm and the battle tested click foundation. Pretty much a match made in heaven.
