FWIW, after > 2 years on plans like this, either my wife or I can usually cook in the amount of time specified, and together we consistently hit the low-end. I'm not sure at what point we got this efficient, and our kitchen is also

As a subscriber, here are some arguments in favor of Blue Apron [or similar services]: 1) It's cheaper / healthier than eating at most restaurants [where I live, in Upper Manhattan] 2) The nearest grocery stores also aren't c

Not really. Ben Thompson [Stratechery] talks about this in his update regarding Blue Apron's IPO [1]. Now to quote him: > ... the first customers a company gains are those for whom the product has the best possible fit; by definitio

What if they become automated grocery delivery? It's an interesting leverage point, since there's obviously a [possibly smaller-than-they-want] market. But the expansion into automated grocery will be a matter of luck & timing

All models are wrong, some are useful. I don't think your nit undermines any of the point I was making

You can kind of think about it probabilistically: good jobs should be filled quickly because they're desirable (and they should be reasonably effective at attracting good talent to fill them) Good candidates should get offers quickly.

For what it's worth, imo the biggest impact you can have is to tell your friends how great it is - especially the trekkies and Firefly fans. And then tell them to evangelize The Expanse, too

The real trouble is that metricslike this suck. They don't really have feedback on who is watching. They could monitor chatter on social media (someone must do that, right?) But they don't have much to help predict whether the sh

If you don't think of it as building a specific version and more just as a snapshot of what is currently 100% ready-to-go, you'll maybe feel differently. They did much of the work needed to get modules, concepts, ranges, reflectio

Perf is a feature; so it seems like a comparison of a single (sometimes important) feature irrespective of the other features.

I think you replied to the wrong comment, but I don't know. However, I don't think this is the first underground structure in an earthquake zone.

It seems like regardless of ultimate outcome, then, musk (or humanity) wins because we are researching tech that will be super useful on Mars.

This is a good point, but I think regardless reform is in order. Sometimes the best way to reform a thing is to tear it down, and I think that's where Thompson's cautiously optimistic post about Brexit landed. (Perhaps this one?

That's an interesting thing: in basketball, fouls are part of the game and used in the last minutes to get the ball back In most other sports, doing that would be "breaking the rules." Not sure how such a division arises. (Ma

Fascinating. Would a mass driver be easier to build to launch from Mars? (Eg for mining applications or similar)

Ultimately, that seems to be the case for hyper loop technology, too. Any advancements we make at creating effective low-pressure transport will pay off once we're building transportation infrastructure on Mars.

My favorite thing about this is something I heard from Dr Bender, Stony Brook CS: if you get <20%, there's no way to argue you should have passed when you failed, because a student who didn't take the class would do better

The key to understanding snap is that it's more messaging app than social network, but neither border is well defined. Also, it's a bit data intensive

This post might be worth a damn if Tim thought a little bit harder about why Russia thinks Calexit would be good for them. It's not obvious or true that anything good for Russia is bad for the US, but when you see the country who recen

In this case, k is 26. Or ASCII value of 'z'. Either way, very cheap.

Sorting is O(kn) where k is the largest number. (See radix sorting)

If you want a high end tv you don't have much choice. But also, why do you not expect your Roku / apple tv / etc to be watching you?

Hm not unlike CrossFit... (I'm sure there are other successful businesses built that way, too)

A few things that need responding to. First, optional is the same as a maybe. They're different names for the same thing. If you want to return a status instead of nothing, you use an Either type (as mentioned in the post). In an Eithe

+1 to all of this, especially Hugo. Even seeing it in 2d you get a sense of the 3-dimensionality.

Self driving cars are designed to learn. People are way overestimating how much time it's going to take to retrain them for cities in new locales. Will they sell in India to start? No, of course not. Most tech in the US takes a few yea

I think you'd be surprised at how many people "test" Google's self driving cars. Pretty sure they can handle it if someone jumps in front of them simply because people play chicken with them.

So many people get by without owning a car that if you have to go somewhere where your existing car doesn't work (for whatever reason) you'll be just fine You can rent or take a cab or an uber. I don't own a car. I get around
