> Canada has some of the strictest environmental protection policies in the world.

And yet, the fed bought the Keystone XL pipeline for $7B more than it was worth in order to bypass those "strict" environmental (and indigenous) protection policies. While I don't agree with the grandparent's assessment, it's not that wrong. It describes the middle provinces pretty well, and if you generalize to "resource extraction", you pick up BC (lumber, fish) and the Maritimes (fish). And we're home to quite a few mining companies like GoldCorp whose operations are largely foreign, but have a big impact on policy through lobbying.
My opinion is that it is inappropriate without permission, but it is also inappropriate to ask permission.
> I'm not sure why you consider Belgium cherry-picking but not Norway, Germany, and Finland.

> You could make an argument for Finland and Norway as more culturally similar

Exactly that. Germany I simply chose because that's where I'm from originally. The data couldn't be more clear that's why I thought it wouldn't be necessary to list many more countries with a stricter Covid19 policy and a considerably lower death rate.
As others have noted, it sounds like what you're really interested in is particle physics. In that case, I'd recommend Griffiths's "Introduction to Elementary Particles", which would be accessible to someone with an undergraduate level knowledge of physics. But you could probably get away with knowing less, depending on your background.
But does Mongo have more users or just more gotchas?

I'm getting an "Error establishing a database connection" on that post. Kind of ironic.

I agree about your point regarding IPC, but that's something they can always add later. It's unfortunate that they've gone the callback route instead of innovating like Asana has done with coroutines.

You're defining God as a function of human ignorance.

Where exactly is this 'room for God' and why is it suspiciously never anywhere anyone looks?

The belief alone that God can't be disproved, even with evidence, is a fundamentally anti-scientific point of view. Once you come to the point of science 'proving everything' but still believing in God, what are you basing that belief on? Literally nothing.

There is a very good criticism here: http://andregarzia.com/posts/en/whatsappdoesntunderstandthew... and I have to agree to all of it.
I'm on a first name basis with well-known engineers high enough to shrink the formal HR process at Google, Yahoo and Facebook. If I asked to interview with them tomorrow, they'd put me in the process immediately, in an expedited manner. I'd probably go straight to the on-site interview.

I'm not bragging about this, because it really wasn't difficult to do. I didn't go to school with them, and with one exception I met them all after they had joined their companies.

Cold-emailing influential people, or introducing yourself to them at meetups, or any one of the myriad other ways to meet people applies in this situation.

Just be genuine, and network with them long before you'd ever want to call in a favor, this way you actually have a relationship with them. It also helps if you share something in common and actually have something to talk about, and if you want to connect with them for the sake of having smart colleagues, not just influential friends.
I know very little about cars and have little interest in them, but I suspect that any desirable attributes of an engine or car can be measured directly. If I were buying a car with those attributes as a goal, I would look for statistics taken from direct measurements, which I presume exist in plenty on car enthusiast websites and magazines.

I would guess that, given any level of performance, there are well-designed cars that vary greatly in the amount and character of the sound they produce, especially since the advent of electric vehicles.
200 tonnes of radioactive water

There is a (long) trillion of tons of radioactive water in all the world's oceans. C14, see? "Radioactive water" is a meaningless term.
Thanks, I had meant to ping someone about this, but keep forgetting. Filed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908174
Because there are developers and project managers out there who still don't understand it very well, or (dare I say) don't care enough to understand it. There will always be people who will just get the work done to a level that will reasonably satisfy their bosses, so that they can take their paycheck, and go home.

This is not software engineering alone, by the way.
I have experience with the Valencian government, specially with the health system department, and in 2008 they were using a 3rd party tool for that (deployment, remote support, monitoring, etc).

AFAIK they've been looking at OSS for years (I was involved in a project related to that), and the main blocker was that the BOFH tool they were using didn't support OpenOffice back then (that was before LibreOffice existed).

In fact moving from MS Office to OpenOffice was the easy part, there was a more ambitious project to migrate desktops to Linux, but the provider of the management tool was only supporting Windows.
I also see a similarity: both GMOs and the nuclear industry pose poorly-managed threats to genetic integrity of all forms of life.
What it might come down to is whether making one query worse to make others better is actually a good thing. If they were all acceptable to begin with, it might not be.

Are you permitted to share the types of metrics that Google uses to determine whether an algorithm change is producing better results? Is bounce rate the primary metric that is used?

I'm really glad Zoe decided to share this. It was interesting to read and I hope it helps raise awareness about the total hostility of the terms of that artist agreement. I'm having trouble imagining there are any independent artists at all that would be comfortable agreeing to those terms.
Putting on my business hat, the shift to microservices needs to happen top down and involves organizational structure as well. Each service should have a clear team which owns it and a single threaded owner for the team.
Why oh why was it not the first priority to move from phone numbers to random user IDs (like Threema) for identification? And instead come up with a crypto currency integration?

This whole crypto coin focus, the BS about the server code and the total inability to address criticism or be transparent about development made me lose hope in the project.
General purpose computers are so last-cen. Today, we have mobile! The arguments about control today are between the mobile network operators, the mobile device vendors, and governments. Users have little if any control or input to that process. Apple doesn't even allow IOS apps to have programmability.
Build cool things and don't focus on the income. If you need cash, get contract gigs to pay the bills. Gun.io is a great resource for that (I've only got a few years on you and I've made a pretty penny doing consulting work for the last few years).
This is one of those unintentionally hilarious headlines.
I don't have zsh setup on the OS I'm running currently, but a simple example is that the light-grey autocomplete text from zsh/oh-my-zsh shows up on i3-tmux but not tmux (at least at the time of writing).

I think Tesla ultimately wins this battle. They have the real-time driving conditions and reactions being reported for likely every tricky intersection in the U.S.

Unless there is actually a build up of high pressure steam being created by this heating it still should be mitigated by a properly plumbed building.
> Uh, are you suggesting the municipalities should just deny education to the unprofitable students?

I did not suggest anything like that anywhere in my comment. Municipalities have to teach hard/expensive students in either scenario. Based on the article, they are leaving easy/cheap students on the table for the private sector, who can profit from scale and from the students being cheaper to teach.

There will be independent schools that only accept easy students whether the municipalities like it or not. The choice municipalities have is whether to run their own schools attracting such students and socialise some of the profits instead of letting it all go to the private sector.
No worries! I didn’t perceive your comment as negative at all — I just took it as an opportunity to clarify something that we should have made more clear in the blogpost itself really. Thanks for bringing this up and for doing so in a constructive way!
> If that was contextually directed primarily towards white employees, it's offensive and inherently racist.

Yes, and you can confirm it yourself:

It's inflation, by its very definition. Your dollar is already being devalued. It can buy less SPY shares than before.
I'm on my phone and I'm having a hard time finding a single source that shows this, and it's possible that I can't find it because it doesn't exist, but I have found that housing prices have outpaced wages, car prices have outpaced wages, and tuition prices have outpaced wages (though tuition prices is a whole different issue). Real Wages, which accounts for inflation, have barely budged.

It seems like both parents work to pay for child costs that exist because both parents work.
I remember hearing somewhere that helium will slowly leak through whatever vessel you try to contain it with. I wonder if that (is true, and if so whether it) imposes some kind of maximum life on these drives. Or maybe this is only hydrogen that is this problematic.
> Take it from the rich people who have primarily hoarded all that money

That's not how any of this works. Rich people generally have much less of their assets as cash or cash-equivalent than poor people. They also in general have much more debt than poor people, both in absolute values and as proportion of their net worth. (Simply because they are able to take more debt, and with the neverending low interest rates, taking more debt and investing it is basically free money.)
yes same. I accepted it and moved on in my 30s. Now i like my buzzed look, i think i look better than ever.

I think bladness needs an equivalent of 'fat acceptance'. When somone is in their 20's. Its hard to accept your lower value as a potential mate for something that's totally out of their control.
It does. Real estate in many places has nearly doubled. Stocks are up to ridiculous heights. As is crypto. Silver doubled. All during a pandemic.

There are only a handful of businesses which actually grew in value (purely online, Amazon, etc) during the pandemic, as well as some genuine increase in real estate value due to pandemic shuffling, but my take is that everything else is inflation. If you have seen your stocks rocket up in the last 12 months, you're seeing a graph of what you would have lost had you held cash.

The thing is that it's not inflation that will necessarily translate immediately to consumer goods, because the markets for consumer goods are not as quick to respond, as well as the fact that much of this inflation went directly to the very wealthy, whose access to funds hardly impacts the price of consumer goods to begin with.
Yeah, AWW was not a core focus, until COVID hit and it took off.

Americans aren't fat because of Starbucks and McDonalds. Those things are just food. Americans are fat because they eat too many calories and don't get enough exercise: https://www.businessinsider.com/daily-calories-americans-eat...

At age 2-3, my parents fed me traditional Bangladeshi meals of chicken or beef curry stewed in heavy amounts of canola oil. My 2 year old, meanwhile, lives on McDonald's chicken nuggets. There's no way the former is better for you than the latter.
Indeed. But to bash the large corpos, when medical staff figured out they could get an extra dose from most vials the drug companies immediately reduced their shipment contract requirements accordingly. Pretty scummy.
OP asserts that we have no right to complain because other people have it worse... This is a logic fallacy known as the 'fallacy of relative privation.' It's faulty reasoning because its an infinite race to the bottom. Noooo: you can't complain about that because [...] and they in tern also cant complain because [...] until eventually you reach the last person on Earth who was born in infinite pain and suffering who can complain. It's just a very unrealistic model.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Not_as_bad_as

OPs sweat shop metaphor is also a little far-fetched since they are comparing relatively unskilled workers with specialized tech workers (specialization commands a higher price based on limiting supply.) I think we have every right to complain about companies exploiting workers. They --already-- rely on a disparity of information in salary negotiations to manipulate prices in their favor. I think these practices and others are highly immoral and lead to people being paid far less than they're worth.
Putting aside all of NurseryCam's other security issues for a moment, I do think using http is reasonable under the circumstances, perhaps with an option to enable https via a self-signed cert (or a user-provided cert) for advanced users. This is the approach taken by basically every router.
Do you have an example of a mainstream presentation of a complicated math discovery that doesn't dumb down the complex problem?

I will point out that math discoveries don't have quite the same kinds of asterisks as the physical sciences.
If the US stock market collapses, they'll go down too. They might go down less, but if the bubble is going to burst, you'd still be better off keeping your money out until then and only buying once they're cheap.

Of course, this requires being able to time the markets twice, which is... non-trivial.
Wouldn't you also have to add in the second-order effects of the long-term impact on society of that 30yo being able to return to the workforce in a more full capacity? I have no dog in this fight and don't really care who gets vaccinated soon. Just trying to sharpen up your analysis.
You don't need an exact equivalent. You simply need the idea of an equivalent and an idea of the cost/value of such a candidate.

A candidate can't ask for an obviously uncompetitive salary, but they can ask on the high end for what a company expects to pay for an employee.
Agree, Remind me of GWT (google web toolkit) - Marketing message sounds very good: Let your Java Developer write java, GWT compile it into Javascript and run it on the webpage.

In reality, it only works for "hello world" with 2 buttons. Anything non-trivial requires developers who are experts in Java, Javascript and GWT compiler/translator which translate JAVA to javascript. Debugging machine generated code was hell.
Out of interest, why do you interpret it as "left-wing" - is anything that is critical of the current state of the US economy automatically "left-wing"?
Interesting, seems unlikely but reality has always outpaced fiction and speculation in weirdness.

I doubt that it would stall the South Korean economy quite as much as you imagine. There would be a lot of foreign aid coming in as well as foreign investment. And economic growth in the North would likely be rapid. It's one of those things that we won't really know how it'll go until it happens (if it does).
nothing ventured ...
Indeed. It's an attempt to make things black and white when they're grey.

In the same way you could argue that unless you become completely carbon neutral any attempt to minimise your carbon output is pointless, or indeed if you can't stop all crime, why bother trying and stop any.

Most vegetarians aren't hypocritical because they don't claim perfection, they just claim to be doing more in this one regard than the average and in that respect they're normally correct.
Actually veganism is about ethics, if you can survive without causing suffering, why would you need to cause that suffering, for pleasure?

Some amusing things in that FAQ. For example:

How do I stop receiving emails each time someone sends a new message?
To stop receiving email notifications about new messages, go to the Notifications tab of your Account Settings page.

To stop receiving email notifications about new messages from your group conversations, simply leave that conversation.

Then, "leave that conversation" links to this question/"answer":

Is there a way to get out of a message thread once I’ve been looped in?
At this time, there is no way to stop receiving messages once you are a part of a thread. You can encourage your friends to send an individual reply, instead of "Send To All."
Exactly what I was thinking. Immediately broadcast the content. Perhaps use one of those wireless SD cards and have someone nearby recording it. The camera (or phone) can be confiscated but the data is stored remotely.

Or how about write-once media? Perhaps physically destroying or confiscating that would be more protected under the law ?
I don't think this is really an accurate description.

I think that they are trying to help make personal communication easier, which might mean also helping filter your inbox between Personal (how was your vacation?) and non-Personal (Your Phone Bill Statement).

They aren't telling you to not pay attention on the latter. Just providing a tool which helps you focus on the former, if you want to use it.
Ignorance is very scary. I went to TEDxBrooklyn this weekend, and heard Richard Saul Wurman say that he lives by embracing his ignorance, because it is the only unlimited resource he has. I think that the only way to overcome this self-doubt is to accept that you will never overcome it, and make it part of your confidence to be doubtful.
We might not see a lot of economic growth next year? Stop the presses!

I completely disagree. It's much simpler to use a language with a few simple, powerful constructs, which can be used to build everything else as libraries.

I'll also add that scala/functional engineers are also more likely to focus their energies on monads and type theory rather than product delivery.

I get that it is probably more intellectually stimulating for many engineers than the project they are working on, but it also reflects in over engineering of distributed systems for simple problems. I do wonder if there is really any net gains for a company to go the functional route.

I would love to see some research on this as people have been championing it for decades now, and seems suspiciously absent!

If you're still talking about SeaweedFS, the answer seems to be that it's not a "raft-based object store", hence it's not as chatty as the parent comment described.

That proxy node is a volume server itself, and uses simple replication to mirror its volume on another server. Raft consensus is not used for the writes. Upon replication failure, the data becomes read-only [1], thus giving up partition tolerance. These are not really comparable.

Once there is no Facebook in Europe and everyone else is gone from the platform, there would be no network effect to push anyone to go out of their way to access a US version and deal with VPN.
I'm not a fond user of Facebook for its social networking capabilities, but where I live in Eastern Europe, pretty much any local small business now relies on a Facebook page for its discovery and presence. Whether it's gyms, wedding agencies, child amusement, car TLC repair shops, etc. My primary use of Facebook is to discover those local businesses.

"Whence" means "from where". So "from whence" means "from from where".
