I don't know how you can tell what I'm factoring in or not, since I deliberately avoided this calculation. It can benefit either employees or employers, depending on elasticity / market power. In other words: you're not factoring how much faster expensive senior employees can be replaced with recent grads ;).

That said, there is also a cost to sloppy, spammy recruiting, illustrated in the other responses: it can end up increasing stickiness if enough people start ignoring all recruiting communication because it is all spam. That makes it even harder/more expensive to recruit, and grows the market for recruiters. There are some nasty incentive structures in there.

I see he is using a typical inflation-adjusted graph to show the historical price of oil. It's interesting to also see the historical ratio between oil and gold prices as an alternative way to compensate for inflation. The oil/gold ratio has been much more consistent, perhaps because errors in our inflation estimates add up over time.

My question is this, once someone buys the franchise what prevents them from just using their own cheaper coffee? If they have not figured that part out then they will need to soon.
Sure, so you have to design it so the power supply is reliable enough even during a fire. It's a concern but it's by no means impossible to deal with.

Beacons use the newer Bluetooth 4.0/'low energy' specification so they're not like old Bluetooth devices that are constantly connected. It's up to each beacon to decide how often it broadcasts, how powerfully, etc. Check out BLE SoC's like the Nordic nRF51822 for examples of hardware that could turn into a beacon without a ton of work.

>not once did I see someone question if the government even has a right to determine who is allowed to be married, and why is should be involved at all.

I think the worst thing is to parse HTML with regexes.

Had research in past related to this. The trick is that big amount of websites have broken HTML, what brings unexpected results when parsing with regexes.

Entire internet is a bit broken and it's interesting that ALL browsers do more than usual work, outside of RFCs to "fix it" and bring content to user without issues.

From article:

>If buyers operate under the Wheelys brand, they need to ascribe to the product line, which is all fair-trade and organic.

This is a typical franchisee arrangement to ensure quality uniformity across the franchise [1]. Not following this would be a breach of contract with potentially grave consequences.

[1] This can seriously hamper a franchisee's ability to make profit / be creative, as is the case for Family Mart convenience store franchisees in Japan.
My car's TCO is £0.64/mile. Easily beaten by the train.

Assuming I'd have a car already, though, I'd already have paid for the car, insurance, MOT, tax, blah blah. So for a journey I'm contemplating taking, where the choice is car vs train, the train is competing against the marginal per mile cost: roughly, fuel+repairs.

For this my car's cost has been £0.28/mile - a figure that usually turns out to be pretty close to the cost of the train. (In fact, this comparison is being unduly generous to the train, because most of my driving is short trips. For longer trips the car is more fuel efficient, making the marginal cost more like £0.20/mile.) I'm also not taking into account the cost of travel to the station.

But then again, I'm also assuming there will be free parking at your destination...

This is really nice, will it also be available for Android and if so what Android versions? Right now you have to install Google's physical web app thingy on Android to get beacons so it's kinda clunky and annoying. I know Eddystone was supposed to change a lot of that but I didn't see any mention of what Android versions it will work on. Is it only 5.1 and beyond or are they going to update 4.4, 5.0, etc?

I think it would be a better site if it didn't focus on this networking "friends" thing? Let people pad their resume! Let them lie about their abilities? It seems like it turned into another Facebook? "

I get this daily:

"Hi ,

Again, you're framing it as a black and white, this or that argument. It's not. Cops abusing their power is wrong. People refusing to follow the orders of police officers is wrong. Arresting someone for contempt of cop is wrong. Resisting arrest is wrong. Driving a semi the wrong way down the road is wrong. Not swerving to avoid the semi is wrong. If an officer wants to arrest you and you start becoming physically violent, you are in the wrong. At that point it doesn't matter that the cop was wrong first, because you're already dead.

Now, if your goal is to become a martyr for your cause, then you've just hit the jackpot. If your goal is to take another breath, to see your loved ones one more time... becoming physically violent with a cop is a really bad idea. Is this the way it should be? No, we shouldn't be afraid of police officers. But for better or worse, this is how it is. Your platitudes about "cops are bad, the victim is right" isn't entirely realistic unless the goal is to create more martyrs.

Big companies really can't innovate. Its just the law of nature, in order to grow by 10%+ Y/Y they can't serve new markets (they just don't grow quickly enough). So in exchange they buy the successful startups and pay a premium.
The exact math would depend on the definition of "intelligible" used and how big of an "intelligible" fragment you're looking for.

Practically speaking, though, the answer is basically 0%. It would be a fraction with a big number on top and a very. very, very huge number on the bottom.

For this particular case, this is not done using modular arithmetic. The parity values are simply rational - they might be fractional, negative, larger than 255, etc.

I have actually heard many say the same thing about the California high speed rail project -- that it'll end up being a real estate handout after the project goes haywire midway.
Not a great codebase. That's putting it lightly.

It does have a pipeline BTW.

Industry is so different I don't know where to start complaining.

Xilinx tools are not used for simulation usually because they suck and we generally pay those other tool vendors for their stuff so we might as well use them.

Given that newbies don't want to pay, maybe Xilinx is the best. I don't know much about the free stuff.

Looking at previous posts, there is so much behavioral code everywhere. We don't write a lot behavioral stuff in VHDL usually. There are higher level languages for behavioral code. Once again, you probably have to pay for those tools so maybe you have no good choices other that behavioral VHDL.

IF generic you are stuck with the Xilinx behavioral VHDL, I still would NOT write the behavioral stuff to be a cycle accurate representation of the design. You are just as likely to make a mistake in the behavioral as the RTL. Then when you test the behavioral model against the RTL you will spend half your time debugging the behavioral side. Thinking ahead really helps.

The whole approach is wonky from the start. If it were me I would think about the project as a whole and plan ahead. The design is complex in terms of verification. We always assume that every design is complex to verify! If not you wouldn't need HW in the first place.

There will be lots of tests. How does the test bench run a big suite of tests and report failures? You do not want to look at waveforms unless your test finds a failure. This blog jumps straight to waves!

I would start from the whole design first. Figure out the interfaces. Then try to express those interfaces in terms of transactions.

In fact, maybe don't even start writing VHDL as an expression of the design. Most times in industry we design via documents first. Docs express how the HW will work at a high level and how it will be verified. It breaks the design down into modules. It explains the interfaces between modules. These interfaces become possible points for the verification to look at. The test bench compares the simulated result with a golden reference when it sees a transaction event at the interface and reports a mismatch.

The point is create project infrastructure first via planning. Have a big picture view of how it's all going to be thoroughly tested automatically each time new code is committed. In industry on top of directed tests, we use constrained randomized tests. We have to determine whether we have covered everything. So we need functional coverage. All this is designed first BEFORE we play around with flops.

We can tolerate a lot of craptastic VHDL/Verilog code in industry because at the higher levels it looks neat and tidy and it is all tested vigorously.

Basically don't follow any stuff from academia because I would bet those guys have never delivered a commercial product. Educational material from tools guys is almost as bad for similar reasons. No one can hold your hand so you have to use your brain.

I probably vented too much here. It's just tough to see engineering done badly.
Plenty thanks, and on the rare occasions I've actually been remotely interested in the job they're promoting they've been more effective st getting me interviews than responding to actual employers' paid listings with carefully crafted cover letters.

grow your own coffee beans on the cart? yea right, that cart will grow enough beans in a whole year to make a days worth of coffee, if you are lucky.

too many, new-agey buzz words for me in that article, along with a LOT of misleading info... building out a small cafe doesnt even cost 100k, let alone 800. and starbucks doesnt pay minimum wage, they offer college assistance and health care. so your own cart doesnt really compare straight across for an hourly wage comparison to be fair.
My wife ran a food cart for ~18 months in Seattle. There are a lot of regulations around where you can set up food carts/trucks; most people end up renting spots (for ~$100/day near Amazon) or buying a license for a specific street spot from the city for ~$1100/year.

Eventually we will hit the point at which oil prices do go up forever -- if they are measured as the inverse of EROEI. In other words: we'll reach the point at which every barrel of (conventional geological) oil that we produce takes more energy to extract and process than the last. At that point, oil is a dwindling resource.

This may or may not mean that the price of oil will go up forever in nominal dollars. It may actually have the reverse effect at times, since it could trigger financial crashes that result in deflation. It may also lead to replacement of oil with other resources (gas, electric, etc.) or shifts away from oil-based transport (electric trains, walking, biking) -- and those could lead to decreases in oil price as well if they occur to enough of an extent.

The error in predicting eternal oil inflation is threefold:

(1) Assuming that financial cost always reflects objective physical cost -- that there is a 1:1 relationship between thermodynamics and price. Reality: there's only a soft relationship subject to the next two factors.

(2) Assuming infinite demand inelasticity. Reality: increasing oil price fuels substitution and demand destruction.

(3) Forgetting that money (especially fiat money) is itself variable in value. Reality: deflation can cause prices to nominally fall when nothing has actually changed, and inflation can cause the inverse.

It may be a British use of the word but the advice is to cook in a coffee percolator and they illustrate a drip brewer. These are two different appliances to my knowledge. A coffee percolator is a pot of water with a tube in the center which directs hot water up and over the coffee. The water essentially cycles as long as you keep boiling it.

A drip brewer cycles the water once. I can see that being better for rinsing away impurities but also requiring quite a bit more water.
The coffee plants are not a source of beans, but a source of customers. I don't know about you, but that strikes me as one of the most intriguing marketing plays I've seen surrounding coffee.
Yep. Sushi rice you soak for 30 minutes, other Japanese varietals you hand wash until the water is clear. You're supposed to use cold water, though I suppose warm water might possibly extract more impurities.

Honestly, I don't believe this coffee drip method will work that well, even if it does cook the rice properly (which I doubt). It re-uses the arsenic water unless you toss it, which is a big waste of water.

What I would totally buy right now is a drip-coffee-rice-cooker that used a smaller amount of water than a full pot of coffee, but cycled it through a water filter/purifier. At the very least it might lead to tastier rice, though I have no idea if a charcoal or other filter would actually trap/remove arsenic.
I am sure it's an amazing product and will probably sell, I don't see how it compares itself with Starbucks.

I don't go to Starbucks for the coffee, I go there to sit down and code.

Still think it's an amazing idea, because from what I gather, they give you all the tools to sell good coffee cheaply so you really have few competitors for that in countries like Sweden.
Exactly, it's all for show. It appeals to people. It's the same reason I grow a Jalapeño plant in my apartment window in Brooklyn, when I could get Jalapeños at any store for less money and less effort.
Yes, absolutely - you would end up adapting them to the point that they were quite unlike building agile software, but that's built into agile.

I suspect that waterfall properly applied would have worked though. This sounds like a failure to nail down the requirements early, combined with a methodology that assumed the requirements would be nailed down early.
Well, we would need something like that pro re nata! :) But the very possibility is exciting!
This is suitable for use as a base source.

Perhaps it eventually will be, but there are still some bugs. E.g. Ivanpah[1]:

"15 months after starting up, the plant is
producing just 40% of [its expected more
than a million megawatt-hours of electricity
each year], according to data from the U.S.
Energy Department."

To me, the attraction of PV solar is that there are no moving parts. Long term that just has to be the way to go.

A quick Google search revealed the paper "Reactive Lenses" [1], which seems relevant. I haven't read it yet, but the abstract seems promising.

Ok, I think I'm starting to understand why we're disagreeing.

I'm not sure what your background is, but I'm noticing that I probably have significantly more detailed models of both intelligence and cooperation than you do. Please don't take that as an insult at all, it's just that it's part of my work to know these things. I think the inferential gap may be too wide for a reply here :/

I think your position is understandable given your priors, you're not crazy for thinking what you think.

I feel like an asshole for stopping the conversation with "I know more than you, but I won't explain it," it's a total dickhead move, and I'm really sorry. If I had time, I'd write much more and I bet it would be great for both of us. Maybe someday we'll have a chance :)
