My understanding is that by paying $10/month for Eats Pass, you get free delivery on orders of $15 or more. What this is showing is that if order total == $15.00, then Eats will subtract a penny from the total, forcing you to get another item in order to get the free delivery.

Heh, going backwards in time to reinvent house :)

Heh I assumed this would be about passwords too. Even knowing what it’s about now my brain still insists on parsing it as 5 disparate words.

As a disclaimer I haven't read CODE, even though it's been on my list for a while (sounds like I ought to prioritize it!).

From my understanding of the style I believe The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee is a similar take on genetics.

It stays fairly high level as it doesn't require a molecular biology degree, but Mukherjee gives a fantastic primer on many of the concepts in genetics in a deeply interesting and human fashion. It's always refreshing when non-fiction books manage to weave a narrative throughout in a way that feels natural.

Rad, have you ever tried performing live as a one man band?

Awesome, super relaxing vibes. That album art is dope too, custom for the EP?

Good stuff, like the idea of 1 day projects. In my experience the tracks I’ve actually finished are always the ones that came together pretty much in a day. Otherwise they get lost to time.

Dabbled in electronic music production and DJing for a couple years now.

Here’s one of the recent tracks I’m proud of, a remix of a friend’s track: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/htq1K4ENhfKDsgVn9 (ambient deep house or something like that)

Another older one, with soulful house vibes: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/gmH3NmpaqHwt4Apf8

Is anyone aware of an open-sourced codebase that uses a highly restrictive standard like this? Probably more like likely just plain MISRA, since anything developed by Lockheed using this doc would be classified I'm sure.

I've seen standards like this shared a few times, but never seen the code they actually result in.

Definitely worth noting the year, but I’d be fairly surprised if the standards for real-time avionics software changed much since then. I’d guess they still stick to a small subset of the Goliath that is C++

That are gestated in artificial wombs and reared by robots? Sounds like we'd be better off freezing people.

I'd imagine if you were going to invest in a 4K projector you'd still want a drop down screen unless your walls are perfectly flat white and non-textured.

Definitely agree it would be nice to have a hidden TV though :)

Sure, but you might need it to keep several trillion dollars of GDP afloat and ensure economic stability, which is a precursor for national security.

Transistor, also by Supergiant Games, has this same effect for me. Highly recommend both.

Haven’t gotten the chance to play their new game Hades yet but I imagine it’s on the same tier.

Out of curiosity — what made you start?

Torture chambers are nothing new, unfortunately. While still completely disturbing, if anything I’d say this setup was relatively mild compared to what you might’ve seen in medieval times or the Inquisition.

Sounded like his comparisons were for Mars vs. the moon.

Not sure the comparison to race is either fitting or appropriate here. Becoming more old undoubtedly has a negative effect on performance/productivity at some point, I don’t think the same can ever be said for becoming more black.

Using an acronym doesn't invalidate this HN guideline: "Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article." Also, does having an article claiming something now make that thing fact, is there no room for discussion or dialogue, or a questioning of the statistics provided, as soon as an article asserting an opinion is published? If you are going to argue against his point, why not at least point out the specifics of the article that invalidated it, or towards some other data, rather than just saying, "read the fucking article" and moving on?

He did actually, but he used the medical term SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) [1] in place of "Asian bird flu". However, they refer to the same thing, and SARS does appear to have only been a major problem from late-2002 to mid-2003, a timeline that is consistent with his claims.

I took his comment to reference the fact that this was originally written in 2002 with minor additions over time, as evidenced by the “Updates” section.

The agreement only prevents its commercial release for 88 years [1], he can still release it as free under the contract however.

Not sure how I feel about it still, but this article doesn't really accurately portray the service. From the source linked by the Wired article [1], this is specifically intended to prevent a nude photo from being shared maliciously when a user has reason to believe that it will be. They then voluntarily upload the image to Facebook which uses the digital fingerprint to prevent it from being reposted either in its original form or with slight modifications. It's always completely voluntary, Facebook is certainly not requiring or even really encouraging average users to upload their nudes.

I saw his reply as adding "too short of yellow to red time" to the list of "not paying attention" and "being an asshole" for human reasons to run red lights. I'm not sure why you're attacking him for a claim he didn't appear to make.

Seconded, I just finished this book and it is an introduction to the basic science and history of genetics that reads like a masterfully written narrative. If you have any interest in genetics I think The Gene would be well worth your time.

PRISM was an NSA operation, so it's not clear how that is evidence against his claim that the CIA is more responsible with their cyber offense/surveillance than the NSA. If anything it seems to lend even more credence to his point.

Hello Blake, is there any chance Recursion is considering hiring a software engineering intern, or might consider it in the future? I'm a CS student at the University of Utah planning on pursuing bioinformatics. I've come across your company online several times and am really intrigued by the approach you're taking to disease research.

Just checked out the website, awesome idea! Hope to see this catch on with tech talks.

I'm in the United States.

MVP referring to what exactly? Haha, sorry I'm not familiar with that term outside of it's usual usage and it's web programming usage.

Hmm, I'm not sure how useful that would be to me. I'll send you an email about my idea. It's really not that novel though, just a new take on an existing concept.

And I hadn't, interesting website. Not really a competitor to my idea, but still interesting!
