Reheating food and defrosting things are much faster in a microwave.

What is interesting is that the author's Chrome anecdote is largely a technical solution. People did more on the web. Processors were more powerful. Enabling multi-process browsing was a big step forward. When he talks about his future

Tupperware was founded in 1946, and the home microwave was invented in 1967. So it has been about 56 years of just that combo. As I said, I agree that plastics cannot be considered safe, but I was presenting a possible argument that others

I don't think plastic is safe and avoid it whenever possible, but an argument for its safety is that it has been widely used for a hundred years and we still don't have many direct causal links between plastic and health problems.

Does anyone have a link to the actual study? The article mentions there were variations based on the container and liquid, and I'd be curious to see what those differences were. Unfortunately, avoiding plastics with a child is very dif

I hate these types of arguments that create an extremely contrived example. If we’re making a choice between these two students, then you can’t really go wrong. But that’s not the choice being made.

Would Hilleman have been able to develop vaccines had Jenner not developed the first ~200 years earlier? In a way, any lives saved by Hilleman can be partially attributed to Jenner as well.

We have lots of examples of in-person companies that have succeeded. Genuinely curious, what are the best examples of remote-only success?

I didn't take it as snarky. I could write a long essay on how I've used the experiences of those older than me to make decisions, but I'll spare you the diatribe. One strategy, though, is to ask people about their experiences

I'm not expecting perfection. But I am treating my life a lot like navigating in a sailboat. You have to have your eye on the horizon and use the stars the guide you. You can't always reach your destination in a straight line, but

My decision making has largely been driven by looking at those older than me and asking myself if that’s the type of life I want to live. If the answer is yes, then I use those people as role models. So I think my optimization strategy has

I hope I don’t have a midlife crisis. I would view that as somewhat of a failure. I had like 40+ years to figure out what I wanted my life to be like. Feeling the need to change course after so much time would be a little lame.

But if your iteration is so fast then you don’t need a channel at all. Just use a plain for loop.

Depends how getNext is defined.

You can write to a channel concurrently.

by rcme 3y ago
Why? Channels are already iterable using the range keyword. ch := make(chan int) go func() { for i := 0; i < 100; i += 1 { ch <- i } close(ch) }() for i := range ch { fmt.

500K-1M seems about 1-3x a typical restaurant. I'd also be surprised to learn that running a vet is more expensive than a restaurant. The margins are seem like they'd be way lower in a restaurant.

Chewy was already a multi-billion dollar company by the time it was purchased by PetSmart. Chewy is now publicly traded at a value of over 16B. Not sure what your point is regarding vet and pharmacy services. Businesses expand. Pets.com, ha
