Get used to expensive coffee. And it's probably going to taste worse, too
businessweek. A global shortage of arabica coffee beans is tempting roasters to swap in the harsher robusta variety. Link in bio for more.

• Coffee snobs have a lot to worry about right now. A global shortage of beans is already threatening to push up prices at cafes and supermarkets. Now, your morning cappuccino or latte might start leaving a bitter taste for other reasons too.

• The world is facing a desperate shortfall of arabica coffee, the variety that gives the smoothest flavor and makes up about 60% of world production. Supplies were decimated after extreme weather destroyed crops, and with a La Nina pattern forecast through early 2022 expected to further hurt yields, it could take years for the market to recover. Arabica prices are surging to reflect the mounting crisis, while global shipping congestion is making it even harder to get beans where they are needed.

● "This is not just a short-term issue," said Kona Haque, who leads research at commodity trader ED&F Man in London. "It's actually something that we're going to be factoring in for the next couple of years."

• Coffee roasters and retailers must now decide whether to increase their own prices. But they've got another option too: arabica's harsher cousin, robusta. Some are already using more of the cheaper variety, which is typically drunk in instant coffees and contains more caffeine that gives it a bitter flavor.

The size, backlight (uniformity, temperature) and resolution of the new Gen 11 is truly something to behold.

I had the first Paperwhite (as well as the big old DXG), and was half a year into the Gen 10's Paperwhite; the jump between those two was dwarfed by the improvements of the Gen 11. This does especially hold true if you read at night.

I got the Signature Edition which does a great job of adjusting that marvelous backlight in a set it and forget it kind of way. They both have Type C charging, but the SE also gets wireless charging (works great with my Samsung one).

Responsiveness is also greatly improved; I don't really miss my buttons of old anymore.
A company that uses software automation to increase efficiency and improve margins at scale (thereby scaling non-linearly).

E.g. a company that uses people to calculate taxes is not tech, whereas a company that uses people and software to calculate taxes is a tech company if their use of internally-developed software gives them a significant competitive advantage over other companies in that market.

EDIT: Thinking about it a little bit more, a vegetable growing company is not a tech company unless they use software to drive down expenses so they can compete better, allowing their investment in software to give them a greater rate of return than a comparable investment in additional people/other capital. Typically the automation system is also licensed for sale externally at sub-linear marginal cost. This means that tech companies benefit from a faster rate of growth than a traditional capital-intensive business, while driving up productivity in their market.
Hyperscale and large corporate buyers aren't dumb enough to fall for this. Gimme everything enabled or I'll buy a neoverse or AMD thanks.

And I'd reckon at retail that sub-brand and product confusion leads to most customers buying the least costly and lowest spec version and tossing the machine in the bin if it's unsuitable.

Any undifferentiated "intel core i" processor is just the same as any other undifferentiated "intel core i" processor to the layman. Most laptops at retail aren't even labeled with the cpu model number. If the cpu is slow it's just because Intel products are crap.
The state allowing lethal force in defense of property is not abdicating a monopoly on violence any more than allowing lethal force in defense of life. In both cases the state is allowing somebody else to use violence, therefore if one counts as abdicating its monopoly on violence then so does the other.
Huh? I listen to full albums on Spotify all the time. You just go to the album, hit play or the first track and you’re done.

If you don’t like that it keeps playing stuff after turn off “autoplay” in the settings.

It sounds like you describe being in a state where the "shoulding" part of yourself hasn't really say in counsel with the other parts of yourself. Reconciling your urges with your less affectual sensations can help you conserve your willpower immensely. For the rest of the space I find digging into the idealizations we devise and breaking them down covers a lot of distance.

Specifically with sweets, including cookies, I rarely ever want them. They are so simple and almost never as enjoyable and nuanced as a well cooked and seasoned vegetable.

> Insects have a nervous system and consequently feel pain, which makes them sentient.

I'm not so sure about this. To feel pain requires consciousness. Behavior is not consciousness. It often indicates it in animals like humans with complex nervous systems. But it's very unclear when we get to something with a few thousand neurons. They likely won't any of the neural correlates of consciousness that we do. If insects or crustaceans are conscious of anything, it's not the kind of consciousness we have.
E-readers have dropped off in popularity a lot, so I guess the novelty was a big factor, and the iPad was good enough for many. But personally I still frequently use mine. If you're a frequent reader, and you're reading stuff fit for the format (i.e., it's not a PDF and you are mostly just reading sequentially, not flipping back and forth), it's just the best way to read. That was especially true when I had a train commute and didn't want to lug something heavy around, but even at home, I just don't want more books sitting around when I can read them without dealing with the physical objects.
Yes, she definitely will not get away with it, but it will almost certainly be tried and has been one of the things that most professionals in the M&A field have been pretty surprised at: that none of the investors did their homework, they just believed her when she made her pretty strong claims.
WeWork launched a $3 billion fund in 2019 to buy office space outright. Granted, this was right before they imploded so I'm not sure how far they got, but it definitely was a part of their plan.
> So I want to know, how do people make software work meaningful, and how do you see it making the world better?

I think as long as what you build helps someone, it's meaningful. It can help many people or it can just help a friend. As long as it's a positive impact on others, it's meaningful.

Really I don't think software is different from anything else. Are you helping someone learn something? Are you helping someone put up fence? Are you helping someone fix a car? All of that is meaningful. Software can multiply it which is a plus, but you really only need to help one person.
>...However, employment contracts still stipulate things like any and all intellectual property created by the employee on company equipment is automatically owned by the company. Some contracts are even more restrictive and give companies ownership over everything their employees create while they're under contract.

Oregon Trail was created before he took the job at MECC. He essentially donated the code to the company.
I love the "zero excuses" at the bottom. "now that we informed you of the danger, anything bad happening is entirely your fault and the city can't be held liable for its bad decisions"
I agree with the annoyance of no physical buttons, but the latest kindle PW generation has USB-C (finally!)
Yep, that's why there is /r/FlashTV ... on the flipside, there is /r/psych, for the TV show, where people sometimes come with psychology related questions.
The reason I don't dismiss the "Havana Syndrome" is because Communist governments will do anything to advance their narrative, including mind control.

There's no doubt they are working on such systems to this day.

What's interesting is that the original "Hawaii Five-o" (1968) had a fascinating and terrifying episode about "Cane Toad", a CCP (Wo Fat) mind control system that could be used outdoors. The device prop was one of those yellow road hazard construction lights. I loved watching the show, but that episode really creeped me out.

It's interesting that that show was over 5 decades ahead of the US media in calling out the CCP. I wonder how the scriptwriters cottoned on to that, or has there been "CCP reputation laundering" since then?

Long time ago, I coded the form on Santa's official website [1] used to submit your Christmas wishes to Santa. Without that form children (and adults) wouldn't have been able to reach him using a computer. A lot of people used that form to submit their wishes for Christmas and hopes for the future. I guess in a really real sense that makes me Santa's little helper :)

(santa.gl / Greenland / does exist anymore)
I use it for structured logging, which makes filtering and searching very convenient. E.g. I can filter by an object’s id and a property to see which tasks change the property of that specific object and in what order. Serilog[0] and Seq[1] are the best tools for this in my opinion.

I think the issue is that the economy is supposed to in theory serve people, which most people would think means that if there is no material difference in effort to produce a part, the best most useful technology should be produced and in consumers hands. The theory of market competition says that moves like this should be impossible because it would open Intel up to being undercut by a competitor nearly instantly. However, we can see that monopoly capitalism does not function the way the legitimizing theory does. In fact, it is populated with rent seekers that manipulate the public using market segmentation strategies to profit.
As opposed to a villager going to a butcher to get their meat? Are we going to argue it's only moral to eat meat if you kill and butcher it yourself? Even the butcher probably isn't killing the animal. They're getting the carcass delivered to them.
You're correct. There were multiple grants, not exactly 2. The vesting schedule is standard and there is nothing abnormal about it.
Last I checked Regus (and WeWork!) have actually done quite well in the pandemic, because lots of companies are letting long-term leases expire and leasing flexible short-term space like Regus/WW instead.
>> the most basic consideration: that they have “the capacity to experience pain, distress or harm”.

Those crabs can dish out some pain with those pincers. They eat their prey alive too. That's not an argument for or against treating them some way, just that they aren't some poor innocent animals either.

Search up where their product facilities are, is it outside or inside usa , if so then depending on that you’ll need to look up parts of the product.

Unfortunately the majority of people don't seem to understand they're not allowed to pass on the right (and they never get pulled over for it).
I guess they believed at some point they would get enough marketshare/brand recognition/corporate clients with longer contracts, that $Y > $X.

I never thought I’d grow up creating label printer software but I just love making good hardware usable by average people. As my (electron) app’s revenue accelerates through 6-figure territory I think about how the money is a good measure of how much I’m helping people.

The experience with the newspaper is not so good, I agree. But I think the magazine experience is fine, at least if you're reading a mostly-words magazine.
x86-64 does not have an addressing mode that uses the 8-bit register alias; in particular, the base and index registers are always either 32-bit (in 32-bit mode) or 64-bit (in 64-bit mode). As such, you need to zero-extend AL to a 64-bit register before using it in an offset addressing mode (or use XLATB).

For more information on supported addressing modes, see the manual: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/download/int... (specifically volume 1, section 3.7.5)
"I honestly believe that at some point, the majority of humans will look at our system of factory farming and “harvesting” of wildlife in much the same way that today we view slavery, colonialism and other egregious examples of human disregard for other lives. I am not saying they are the same thing, but I do think that they are in the same category.'

Do you believe that in our current world state we have some magical alternative we could use to feed the near 8 billion human beings that currently inhabit this planet?
Also stop harassing other posters.

Yes, many of your "dupe notices" in the last days were correct, but many were not.

I'm stressing this because again in this reply you've shown no sign that you will take "attention" into account, and dang has now told you at least twice that reposts are okay (and it's clearly spelled out in the guidelines).

The obvious problem being that whereas the marginal costs of scaling a webapp to an extra million users are trivial, the marginal costs of scaling out an extra million sq ft of office space are extremely high.
Caveat: I am not a scholar or an expert in this area.

I think part of the difficulty with reviving Yiddish in general is that can be a "religious" language at times. That is, there are some elements of Judaism-the-religion that are woven into Yiddish language and culture, so teaching it to an audience who isn't at least somewhat interested in Judaism can be difficult or awkward.

In a world that is generally very secular, I think this is an additional impediment to reviving Yiddish as a language (and Yiddish culture in general) that is not necessarily faced by other "old" ethnic languages like Cornish.

The Workers Circle in New York is one organization that tries to promote secular Yiddish language and culture. I think it's a good thing, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning Yiddish there. But if I didn't already have a basic religious education and personal identity around being Jewish, I would have found it harder to relate to and immerse myself in what I was learning.
A GTX 1660 ti is basically a 1070, but lower power. The whole 16 series is like that.

Yeah but you can't really beat the Kindle ecosystem. I have the Oasis and it's pretty good. The slightly larger screen is a nice benefit.
Your current employer is giving you an effective 8 year vesting schedule, no one would JOIN a company on those terms. Alternatively, you can look at it like they don't value your first 4 years of contributions at all towards to the value of the company.

Echoing the $0 valuation comment, which you should heed: $60k guaranteed per year is astronomically difficult to match with illiquid equity. You need only search for "equity" here on HN to read the multitude of warnings against overvaluing (read: valuing at all) your equity.
You're right. The startup is a US company. The parent is also correct, I'm working remotely from another country, where $60k is considered decent.
That might make sense for dump trucks because they're bulky and have poor visibility, but what's the increased risk of passing on the right? The only thing I can think of is marginally worse visibility because the right side is slightly further away from the driver's seat. However, I don't think that's enough risk to justify going out of your way to pass on the right. Having to change lanes to pass on the left carries its own risks.
Not just rich people, but the Saudi royal family. Adam Neumann should get a prize for wasting so much of their money, lol.
> Is this really a “no one knows” situation?

FYI: There's a cultural gap with Gen Z. You can't assume that anybody knows anything anymore, no exaggeration.

There's also shifting goalposts with government departments that confuses people - it used to be that TLA's focused on foreigners, but in the US they've all been turned on residents.
Personally I have gone ever further and started treating "I, you, my, your" as mild swear words especially around people who are insecure or who may unfairly think you are authoritarian.

"one could argue", "it's possible", etc. may be better alternatives for "I think".
Price discrimination happens all the time even when there's no material difference in providing the good/service (e.g. Uber surge pricing).
What's the context for this? Is there a new JIT compiler for Javascript in Firefox? Or is it a 3rd-party "add-on" that improves performance on some specific machine that this company makes?
If you feel like their question is trying to drag you into their field, you might want to also return a question instead. If none of you answers it stays as it is, if they were asking in good faith you get a better framing that isn't just a trap.
Mixed use medium density is my urban nirvana. Anywhere I have been with it just makes so much sense for daily life at person scale. Cars tricked us into thinking life can be comfortable spread across large distances and I think we are suffering in various ways for it.

I am reminded of that cartoon where aliens arive on earth, and assume that cars are the dominant species, since so much of our world has been dedicated to them.

> The main issue of GPL comes from the risk to the original creator itself

The risk of abiding by the license? The GPL ensures user have access to source code provided under the license, so I'm assuming by "commercializing" you mean hiding away source code that used to be public? The calculus is simple: if you want to make money by doing an open-source bait-and-switch, do not license your code under GPL.
Not likely, cutting global greenhouse gas emissions back when it would have made a difference might have.
Given that the likely outcome of this is less construction, those "shitty little craftsman shacks" are going to get even more expensive.
When I read GP that was the first thing I thought of.

Animated emojis probably aren't too far off the horizon, and I could definitely see a world where multiple glyphs could be combined to affect the animation much like we do for skin tone or the family emojis.

Sometimes I think we've gone too far.

There's no reason to boil these creatures alive. Insert the knife into one key brain region and it's lights out, no more suffering instantly. Chefs can take 3 seconds to end their life with mercy, or they can throw a living creature into boiling water.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to Jewish tradition the first murder weapon in human history was a rock. Using lethal force against somebody who intends to attack you with lethal force is proportional.

To clarify, mypy already has compile-time (well, static checker-time) enforcement of protocols (https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/protocols.html) and ABCs (https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/class_basics.html#abst...). Maybe that's what you meant? The first time I read your comment I interpreted as "if there is interest [on the part of core Python developers]".
They talk about parametric mutability -- I've always wondered what is the hurdle to const in c++ being like noexcept, parameterizable with a bool?
Thanks for your advice. Like I mentioned in other comment, I'm working remotely from another country where $60k is considered decent. Personally, that is more than enough for me to live a decent lifestyle and thus I'm a bit more risk tolerance.
OK, Intel has reclaimed the performance crown, at least for the moment, though AMD will not be sitting still.

But Intel's QA has been slipping for a long time, with buggy instructions in shipped chips. (Anybody remember transactional memory?) Have they turned that around, yet? That seems harder than getting better performance on a new process node.
What's our address? I'd just like to enter our shared space and borrow our computer. Maybe our wallet too.

Today I learned about the wunderpus.
I would also note that domes are solving a problem most people don't have with their houses.

Domes are a great way to maximize the volume enclosed by a surface, which is almost a thing for heat loss, but you can do almost as well with a box and adding unusable volume is a false economy.

Domes are great for creating a massive, self-supporting enclosed space ... but again, why do you need that in your house? Conventional building techniques can make you a pretty large space pretty easily, and you don't typically need to support unusual loads on top of your house.

You don't even need to make your home in a dome shape to make it out of insulated concrete; insulated concrete forms are and easy way too throw together a box with the same basic benefits.
What exactly do you mean? A huge number of hosted services are basically open source products that you could host yourself if you wanted to. Amazon RDS is just Postgres/MySQL/others; Amazon ElastiCache is just Redis/memcached; etc. That's how almost all of cloud computing works. You can run these yourself too. If this isn't what you mean, please add some clarity in the description.
