Do you have kids? Are you a middle-class homeowner?

Costco launched in 1980, 30+ years after Wal Mart, and won by offering less selection and lower prices. I believe there's a real opportunity here.
This service is probably aimed at people shopping online at least once a month.

It seems especially useful for regular shipments or products that tend to have large retail margins.
It would be nice to see it Open Sourced, but I agree that it will fall to the wayside without ongoing sponsorship.
This isn't strictly true. It costs considerably less for the state to support a child than an elderly person. Furthermore, your plan results in a massive baby surge regardless - if you start allowing mass immigration of young workers, many of them are going to have children anyway.
Moiré patterns are about superimposition of periodic patterns.

> I would argue that the same intellectual curiosity could have the end result of someone having a belief in a singular creator of reality.

Possible, but not likely, given how many intellectually curious people have independently reinvented atheism but no religion has been independently reinvented.
Old people are dependents too, the middle age people take care of them.
Dependent elderly who have no working-age children to support them.
Your comment reads a bit like "we cargo-culted the things we could see in the Smalltalk environment, but didn't understand the underlying philosophy or elegance of what had been made; what's left to learn?"

Seeing features you like and porting them to a system where you can use them isn't cargo culting. It's progress.
I know you can daisy chain, my point being that you get only a few ports, per $200+ device. Vs USB 3 where added usb ports, ethernet, etc is $20 a device.
Nobody here is suggesting they deserved getting murdered (or that they had it coming). The pushback is against the voices turning them into heroes or champions of free speech. They're not. They're people with stupid racist opinions who nonetheless had every right to voice those opinions.

We must condemn the murderers but we don't need to endorse or ally ourselves with the publication. Most people who repeat the "We are charlie" slogan are probably not aware of the publication's racist history.
Right, but I am wondering if the taste or texture is noticeably different.
More than mecA, which itself doesn't sound like it's grossly maladaptive in the absence of β-Lactam antibiotics (it codes for an "replacement" enzyme that's not β-Lactam sensitive): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methicillin-resistant_Staphylo...

There's also regulatory genes that may be present, there are 6 known varieties of the whole gene cassette, with 5 further subtypes based on these regulators, so in the absence of β-Lactam antibiotics it sounds like a lot of them will be fit.

Nasty.

The electric utility in Chicago just decommissioned a pair of century-old coal plants that were costing the city tens of millions of dollars a year in negative externalities. Yeah, the electric utilities are exactly who I want investing in infrastructure that has becomes obsolete in 5-10 years.
I would like to see a list and calculation of the advantages of a declining population.

In today's economy, white collar workers are not productive for almost 25 years, whereas 50 years ago most people were in partial paid employment by the time they were 16 and fully employed at 18-20.

Off the top of my head I can envisage: cheaper housing, reduced cost of public services, schools, universities and medical care for children.
This is a good reminder for the "avoid technical debt" crowd and other advocates of sterilised development practices

Sometimes the rubber hits the road and you don't have time or money or any more cognitive energy to understand why your code that calculates a lot of things from a lot of data is not working in that 0.01% of cases

So you come up with a quick fix that's not exactly what it has to be done but it works it ships and it pays the bills.

Of course I don't advocate such solutions on critical paths, ate least not without some double checking.
Religion and belief in a singular creator are not the same thing. Furthermore, I don't really believe you have any credible way of producing a valid number of 'intellectually curious' individuals who have made the choice to believe in a singular creator versus not.

You probably shouldn't make any arguments about free speech based on whether or not a soldier can say something. You sign a lot of papers and give up a lot of rights when you volunteer to serve or get a security clearance.
"Japan, much like the earth, has limited space and resources. So I don't really think of declining population as a problem."

The problem is leverage.

Why is it a disaster if GDP growth comes in at less than 1% or so ? Is it really so terrible if we don't grow in a particular year, or only grow 1% ?

The problem is the leverage. We're counting on the growth just to pay the interest.
Thanks for clearing that up, glad that is the take on it @ Assembly.
Rust would also eliminate these bugs, as a class. And Rust has inline asm, for those cases where you need platform specific. Finally, Rust van export a C ABI library, so you could make a drop-in replacement.
Ok, nice to know that it has a JTAG even on the production device.

However, if that plugs into the "big" ARM core, that's of no use with the early boot process (which uses the VideoCore, according to the post below).

A good h2h limit strategy probably plays 95% of buttons and 70% of big blinds or so, so at least 30% of the hands you play are neutral EV at best (symmetrical game, so at most 50% are +EV preflop and you play at least 80% of all hands).

Only playing hands you are +EV against a full range would be exploitable as it is way too tight in heads up.

Yeah it really doesn't make sense to me. Amazon is already working hard to reduce the price of shipping, which seems to be the biggest thing jet.com is attempting to leverage to lower prices:

- They'll combine different orders automatically into one package

- They routinely use multiple different shippers to send packages (I've seen UPS, USPS, Fedex, Ontrac and Amazon themselves) presumably to find the best rate

- They are investing in advanced future technologies (drones, high-tech warehouses near cities, etc)

- They give you free digital money if you opt into super-slow shipping

And if you look into the future, I don't think people are going to be willing to exchange lower prices for slower shipping. I think people will want faster and faster shipping and somebody is going to have to figure out how to do that cheaply.

As for bulk orders, Amazon already gives discounts for bulk orders (and subscription orders), and are far better positioned to do that more aggressively than any newcomer.
To perform any communication via entanglement, you're required to also have a regular, (sub-)luminal side-channel, otherwise it doesn't work.

So, no, instantaneous communication is not possible according to current science.
We don't have imperialist intentions with any of those countries, nor do we consider them enemies. The ROK and the DRPK are both shorter than North/South Korea.

Costco did not launch thirty-plus years after WalMart.

"THE HISTORY OF COSTCO

"The company's first location, opened in 1976 under the Price Club name, was in a converted airplane hangar on Morena Boulevard in San Diego. Originally serving only small businesses, the company found it could achieve far greater buying clout by also serving a selected audience of non-business members. With that change, the growth of the warehouse club industry was off and running. In 1983, the first Costco warehouse location was opened in Seattle. Costco became the first company ever to grow from zero to $3 billion in sales in less than six years. When Costco and Price Club merged in 1993, the combined company, operating under the name PriceCostco, had 206 locations generating $16 billion in annual sales."

http://www.costco.com/about.html

"1962

"On July 2, 1962, Sam Walton opened the first Walmart store in Rogers, Ark."

I have four children (three still living at home in my care, one grown up) and am solidly part of the United States middle-income category. We don't own a house however, but rent a townhouse. I have lived longer at this address than at any other I have lived at in my whole lifetime. I am a member of Amazon Prime, of Costco, and of Sam's Club. I buy different things at different stores. (I buy a lot more at Sam's Club than at Costco mostly because our local Sam's Club is much more on my way to and from other destinations than the local Costco is.) I don't see anything about the new Jet business venture that appeals to me, but I'll listen to my Facebook friends, other middle-aged parents like me, and see what they think about it. I often talk about deals I've found on Amazon to my friends on Facebook. I hardly ever talk up Costco or Sam's Club.

> ...I’m more of a translator between the spoken word and computer code than an engineer, architect or even craftsman.

What are engineers, architects, and craftsmen but translators of spoken word (or ideas) to various media or physical representations?

One could argue that the greatest achievements of history were essentially composed of seemingly mundane tasks.

We'd all love to feel like we're doing more than that, perhaps by creating intelligence in some form. Maybe as software engineers we can create as you say "simple formulas that evolve a solution" - and those kinds of algorithms/solutions seem to be long overdue - I think we're definitely headed in that direction. But at some point, even those solutions may not be entirely satisfying to the creative mind - after all, once we teach computers to arrive at solutions themselves, can we really take credit for the solutions that are found?

If one is after lasting personal fulfillment, maybe it'd be more effective to apply his or her skills (whatever they may be) more directly to the benefit and wellbeing of other people.
Early Clues (acquired by Google) Announcement at 2pm
Redstone is basically a cellular automaton. Every 'tick', the state of redstone cells changes based on their previous state, and their neighbors. Some redstone cells just forward 'activeness'; others invert it, or delay it. Obviously by connecting these elements together you can create simple logic circuits. redstone is "supposed" to be used for simple things like traps, automatic doors, and machinery to move things around. Obviously by connecting simple logic circuits together, you can create complex logic circuits. Minecraft's block grid places interesting constraints on how redstone circuits can be constructed (areas need to be separated to prevent their state leaking, messages take time to travel long distances). Making a truly complex, sophisticated system which operates rapidly and correctly takes considerable logic and minecraft engineering. This, for example, is hugely impressive. Redstone was not built with this sort of thing in mind, but was made sophisticated enough that this is possible. I guess that's turing-completeness for you.

The "hire a sales architect instead of a sales builder" point may be the best one in there: A good sales architect will so do things that several (all?) of the other points are subsumed in their work.

This [1] article from Harvard Business Review provides an excellent overview of the different types of sales staff needed at different stages. Too many companies go for "coin operated sales" too soon, instead of getting "agents" who will work with product management to develop and refine the sales process.

I am skeptical.

"Mylar blankets, which are made of aluminum and plastic, are extremely warm but are not vapor-permeable, causing moisture to accumulate on a person's skin."

Mylar may reflect some heat back, but the loss of heat from the system often negates this. Insulation is still needed.

You can see this yourself - go out on a chilly day in shorts / t-shirt, wrap up in a mylar blanket, and you will be cold.

Columbia has been adding something similar to their clothing, from baselayers to outerwear:

http://www.columbia.com/technology-omniheatreflective/

The idea being, the silver dots will reflect heat, but the gap between them will allow moisture management. I'm not sure how well it works in all scenarios but I'm sure I couldn't turn my heat off in the home and be comfortable with an omni-heat baselayer.

As for the Ag nanowires, i would worry these would become airborn and inhaled as the fabric breaks down from washing, use, etc.
That doesn't even make sense. Any sort of replacement rate is recoverable over the short term. The replacement rate could be zero for several years and the population could still recover with vigor.

If you assume an established nation (which Japan is for the most part if you ignore WWII), the realistic maxima for replacement is about 8%. So you could sustain population loss for quite a while (which brings down that maxima) and still recover.
Yeah, one of my main debugging tasks right now is primarily limited by my SSD write speed. Instruction-level traces take 9gb at minimum, any more significant work takes quite a lot more.
Isn't that true of pretty much all quantum-machines right now? It will be a while before we can fit one into our phones.

Thanks for advice. The main issue is that I have better traction/reviews/revenue on another app, and the work required to get #2 and #3 on your list would seriously detract from the attention I could give to that other app.

There have been a few times where I've followed that exact logic to fix it up, spent a weekend or two on it, and gotten pulled away again. The software has reached a size where it's hard (mentally) to switch back and forth between it and my other app.

The other issue is that now that I have more experience doing Mac development, I'm starting to see that it's not a simple matter of bug-fixing. Some significant development would be needed to bring it up to the same level of polish as my other app, and in the meantime I'm concerned it's detracting from my App Store reputation.
Geography of the Post: U.S. Post Offices in the Nineteenth-Century West
Redstone (a powdery substance mined from deeper levels of the Overworld in Minecraft ), when laid out in trails on a surface, conducts "redstone current" if it happens to be present. "Redstone current" may be generated by redstone torches (a constant source), switches (which may be turned on and off), or buttons (which supply a short "pulse" of redstone current when pressed). Other blocks can "do things" when they receive a redstone current. People have figured out how to arrange various blocks and layouts of redstone to create simple logic gates, from which you can assemble higher-level digital circuits. These circuits can actually occupy a fair amount of space in a Minecraft world, but the world in the PC version is so large as to be effectively unlimited.

Usually, in Survival mode, redstone and redstone current is used for much simpler purposes, such as creating doors that automatically open or close when someone walks on a pressure plate. One drawback is that water will "wash off" your redstone circuitry; one mod gets around this by introducing "red alloy wire" that conducts redstone current but can't be washed off.
Games are something of a different beast, at least at the time the article was written, in that they have a fixed 'end' point. After the game was shipped you didn't go back to fix things later, things would only be fixed when you were starting the sequel (or some other game) with that engine.

After all, what gets burned on a PS1 CD or PS2 DVD is permanent.

I'm sure that's at least somewhat different today with so many games having scheduled DLC and other updates that make the technical debt more unpalatable, although I'm sure such things still go on at a high rate.
That's exactly it. I sometimes wonder how many brilliant people have left this industry because they were similarly enlightened. (One prominent person in applied computer science recently told me she was considering going to go into medicine because she wanted to do something useful.)

It doesn't have to be like this. We have the brain power. But I feel we squander it on making silly websites/apps when we could be making history.

Thanks! GUI and animations are all custom. I wanted very specific multitouch capabilities that would not be practical by using standard gesture recognizers. So a lot of work went into imitating the rubber banding and momentum scrolling of the all-familiar scroll view. It was definitely worth it in my view. Said gestures manipulate two base values; origin, and scale (1D scroll and zoom.) Values on each side are defined as a multiple and an offset of the base (linear function.) All numbers on screen are basically entities of a particle system and are spawned, positioned, and destroyed according to their relation to origin and scale.

At first that data surprised me (just assumed that I'd see a more predictable curve) but now that I think about it, it's not too big of a surprise when I think about my experience with alcohol and other recreational drugs. Many people abstain (or nearly so) and many others enjoy degrees of moderate use. It's only a smaller percentage that really takes to their drug of choice and runs into likely addiction and habituation issues.

Normally on that chart I'd fall between the 7th and 8th decile depending on the week but there are exceptions. Sometimes I just don't drink for a few weeks because I don't meet friends for a beer or whatever. Then other weeks like the one between Christmas and New Year's Eve I easily push into the 9th decile between a work party one evening, wine with festive family dinners, and going out for drinks until the late hours on NYE.

I don't have easy access to detailed data for my own habits over the course of a year or more so it's tough to estimate where I'd end up after averaging more weeks together.
