In healthcare, podiatry and nursing aren't demotions. They are entirely separate career tracks from medicine. Most nurses and podiatrists do those jobs because they want to, not because they failed at becoming physicians.
There's another fascinating anachronism in there:

> the problem is that you want to work in your comfort zone, not Excel.

No, you shouldn't assume stuff when you write comments. My comfort zone is Excel. I've been writing Excel-based apps for 13 years, and from what I gathered, I am really good at it. I built this because I reached the limits of it. And I think that many other people have.

You think Javascript is my comfort zone? I loathe javascript. But at this stage, I truly think this is the best option.

> Your actual selling points then seem more like post-hoc rationalizations.

No they're not. Excel is unsafe not because of malicious files, but because people make mistakes all the time in excel. This is a straight consequence of how Excel was designed. There is a history of major financial fuck ups directly linked to excel mistakes.

Whether this tool is the solution remains to be seen. But that the problem exists there is no doubt.

Commoditized cheap components, and economy of scale.

This phone has 8MB of RAM for example, which not only is a very cheap component to buy, but given the amount of phones Nokia will be producing, it will cost them even less. Same for camera, and every other component. In 2015 some things that used to be very expensive, like multi megapixel cameras, are worth less or more like a few peanuts nowadays if bought in large amounts.

Amazing write up and really great work.

I don't think Trello's brand is emphasized enough. It was a #1 goal, but there is no mention of the app name in any screenshot (unless I missed one).

Do people need to know which app they are in? I would argue yes, but maybe the app icon on the desktop and in app switching is enough. Perhaps most users only use a few apps and they tend to have disparate look and feels, so there isn't much confusion.

Packagers often fork software, but confusingly don't give the fork a new name.

If an upstream project includes build scripts, then they're part of the project and any changes to the build scripts constitute a fork. Any patches to the actual code are even more clearly a fork.

The article lists the following 5 things packagers sometimes do:

1. Build your project with slightly (or completely) different versions of dependencies

This doesn't necessarily require a fork. If you use static linking of dependencies it mostly does, but things like libc are often dynamically linked.

2. Build your project with slightly (or completely) different optimization flags and other potentially ABI-breaking options

If you're providing a build script, and they're changing this, it's a fork.

3. Distribute your project with insecure or outright broken defaults

If they're changing the provided code or configuration defaults, it's a fork.

4. Disable important security features because other parts of their ecosystem haven’t caught up

It's a fork.

5. Patch your project or its build to make it “work” (read: compile and not crash immediately) with completely new dependencies, compilers, toolchains, architectures, and environmental constraints

It's a fork.

Project packagers should rename projects they fork. Project authors should make it easy to rename forks, preferably with a single location that defines the project name.

Forks aren't a bad thing. But not labeling them correctly leads to quite a bit of confusion.

> You don't remember when GTX 1080 Tis could be had on eBay for as cheap as $400-$450??

That's slightly above half of its retail price (when it was new) and roughly in the same ballpark as RTX 2070 MSRP. Is this really "dirt cheap"? Do you expect video cards to never depreciate then?

More to the point, I don't remember the market being saturated with used video cards in way that could put a dent in retail prices. They always seem to sell at comparable performance/$ ratio to new cards. I'm genuinely curious if I missed any trends.
I seriously don’t think those people care. I was shocked by the number rooms dedicated to “having a side chick” and con mans trying to sell you snake oil. It felt like the audio version of reality tv.
Fiat money works because government has a strong say in its creation and valuation, and govt. is elected by the people. Lobbying and other private interests aside, by and large, the system is still beholden to the opinions of the citizenry.

Decentralized finance, while originally designed to give more power directly to the people (Nakamoto’s “one CPU one vote”), is now clearly shown to be beholden to an oligopoly of private interests. It’s important to point out the reality behind the fallacious narrative of “the people are in control,” so that people wake up and realize that DeFi without govt. intervention is a bad thing.

An individual has zero say in Bitcoin prices. At least with fiat currency, if they don’t like what’s happening, they can change the govt. to one that is more aligned with their collective fiscal view.

> Yes, many employers would rather that we physically commute to their offices every morning. They'd also rather we worked 12-hour shifts and got paid minimum wage for it.

This is factitious comparison. Remote works great for a lot of people and it's undoubtable good that there are more options. But there are legit reasons for both businesses and employees to prefer working from an office. Office working isn't some ploy by evil employers to sweat every last drop of productivity from their employees at the employees expense.

If you have anything else that can use a significant amount of power (e.g. electric stove/hotplate, kettle, gaming rig, bitcoin miner), it's just as efficient as a space heater.

This also means that if your alternative is running a resistive heater, there's no meaningful extra cost to e.g. mining cryptocurrencies with your GPU (assuming you have decent cooling so your components don't get damaged from overheating).
It endorses the unfortunate habit of collapsing distinctions on both the left and the right. In truth, although conservatives have occasionally aligned with fascists for pragmatic reasons and because they do share some values, they are not the same. When fascists come to power, conservatives are usually supressed; all conservative political parties were banned in Nazi Germany, for example. Anti-Nazi conservatives were among the victims of the Night of the Long Knives. Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen's Diary of a Man in Despair provides useful insight into how conservatives of the era viewed Nazis. He died in Dachau in 1945.

The point people are miss is that Post-18th Century conservatism is a shade of liberalism in the broadest sense (not progressivism though), whereas fascism is resolutely anti-liberal. That said, right-of-center political parties contain lots of people who aren't remotely conservative: radical pro-market capitalists, libertarians, and the occasional fascist. They might all refer to themselves as conservatives, but that doesn't mean they are.

What is needed is to lay off these leap seconds for a few centuries. Anybody who cares about the drift off TAI can keep track of it without messing up everyone else's lives.

If it is fraud, then it's not manifesting in outsize profits for insurance company. Almost all premiums go towards paying for benefits, and they are left with ~5% or less in profit. The executives are not earning outsized compensation compared to executives at other large companies, there is no army of people with FAANG salaries, so who is the fraud benefiting?

This is all public information per their SEC filings. You can drop the compensation for all the bosses down to zero and it wouldn't move the needle on how much more healthcare they could be providing the insureds.

The thing I fear the most is cyber retaliation. So many of us have accounts on the Internet that matter to us day to day. If they are reading this (I am damn sure they are), and if they don't like you, they will try to take over your accounts and make fun of you. Fear is the most destructive and most effective weapon and such weapon is most terrible when targeting at individuals.

But I still have to drop a line: please arrest these "hackers" / "crackers" / cyber criminals.
This was the only way to start manual transmission vehicles when I was growing up, not out of necessity but because it could be done. Living at the top of a hill, I'd let the car start rolling and pop the clutch once I got going. Worked every time after, like you said, some practice.
Agree completely. One big problem IMO is that we are taught by the media to prize and chase pleasure. Sex, drugs, partying, whatever. Those don't fill the soul (whatever that is) with long term joy and stability. They usually don't create stronger long term relationships. As boring as it sounds, turning outwards, helping others and considering their needs first is what produces the best relationships, and that adds tremendous peace to life.

And although that will help in many people's cases, depression and chemical imbalances are real and need processional help.
I guess that your confusion comes from the common use of "in theory" in English (where it's often used for something that "worked in theory but not in practice".) In fact, the "theory" in science means much more than that particular use:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory

"A theory can be a body of knowledge, which may or may not be associated with particular explanatory models."

Evolution is a huge body of knowledge accumulated over a long time and also a fact -- we can actually observe it happening, just like we see the Sun rising every day.

Or to give you a less obvious example of the theory and the fact:

http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast162/Unit5/gps....

I you'd consider the general and the special relativity as "just theories" in the sense of those who use that phrase and who typically don't understand the meaning of the word in science, since something being a theory doesn't imply what they think it implies, you couldn't use the GPS.

Calling something a theory in science doesn't imply that the science doubts that. Of course there are the unproven theories that are wild speculations, but there are those that are effectively fully confirmed.
I've been all worked up about this story since I first read it, but yours is the first comment to make me actually understand a potential, non-bullshit argument from the airline side of things. Thank you.

That said, I think I'm still grumpy at the airlines for doing it. The basic issue they're trying to resolve is that they want the LAX-SFO-PDX flight to compete only with the other airlines' LAX-PDX direct flights, which justifies their weird pricing.

In reality, though, their LAX-SFO-PDX flight is also competing with their own LAX-SFO flights, because, unless they're locking people in the planes, they're equivalent products for anybody trying to get to SFO.

You're saying "You don't want to lose the business of people flying from LAX->PDX, but also don't want to alter your routes," which makes sense as a business. But as a consumer, it seems pretty screwed up that "I don't want to change my routes" is enough of a reason for businesses to sue people and businesses who take advantage of your refusal to fly where they want to go. It's using litigation instead of just flying to PDX.

I can't say my entire scouting experience was wonderful, but I loved the time I spent backpacking with my troop.

We hiked regularly in the Ocala National Forrest in Florida and took trips in the summer to North Carolina, the Southwest Canyons, and Philmont.

Reservations aside, if my children chose to get involved with Boy Scouts, I would love to be a leader. I'd like to give my time like my dad, who planned and hiked the Southwest Canyons trip, did for me.

But I can't. The BSA considers me an unfit role model.

my understanding is that companies with COBOL are big instituions with people not much interested in "career" but in "stability". So those old programmers stay there until they retire (nothing wrong with that). So they keep up the COBOL system. Once they get older management thinks about replacing the COBOL system with something new. If it's really expensive, a new system is built around the COBOL system with new technologies : report by report, DB by DB, etc. until then old system can be unplugged. It takes 10 to 20 years to do so. Nothing unbearable for a big corp.
Very low is not what I consider knowing 3, ~35 years old, people that were hard hit with Covid. It's 50% of the people i know that catched it.

That's too big of a % in my personal sphere to not consider any chance of "very low"

Edit: perhaps read his comment again.

His conclusion is not definitive, it's his opinion based on some not linked sources:

> that means the risk of long-term symptoms is very low for them.

NHS mentions the following on long covid after actual research : https://www.nihr.ac.uk/news/nihr-publishes-second-themed-rev...

> For those admitted to hospital, between 50-89% had at least one enduring symptom after two months. Of those not admitted to hospital, 20-30% experience at least one enduring symptom around one.

By all common sense. That is not a "very low" risk for long covid.
> Currently, many Linux distributions (including RHEL and Debian) have binary compatibility with the first x86_64 processor, the AMD K8, launched in 2003. [..] What this means is that by default, binaries provided by many Linux distributions won't contain instructions from modern Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs). No SSE4. No AVX. No AVX2. And more. (Well, technically binaries can contain newer instructions. But they likely won't be in default code paths and there will likely be run-time dispatching code to opt into using them.)

I've used Gentoo (everything compiled for my exact processor) and Kubuntu (default binaries) on the same laptop a few years ago and the differences in perceived software speed was negligible.
Why should they notify us? They are stealing our data right under our noses. I hope that non-tech people would be aware of what's happening right now as they might have something to say about this.

Does anyone have any insights as to how AT&T is maintaining its iPhone exclusivity in the US? It's obviously great for AT&T, but seems to be very bad for Apple.

Yes: Apple signed a contract that gave them exclusivity until 2012. I'm guessing AT&T lawyers did a good job wording that clause.

> Anyway, it is super obvious you are not comfortable with this guy and don't trust him, but you are thinking of making him an equal partner? Big Mistake.

I more or less agree and voted you up, but if the guy's asking for 1/3rd of the company at $750k, does that mean he's putting in $250k cash? That might be the lesser of two evils here. Can't really say without more detail, but sometimes you've got to bite the bullet and choose between a few different bad courses of action.

Regarding your (1), I'm not sure I follow, isn't the fundamental unit of resistance, ohms, just a function of V and I? Namely V/A. Likewise for capacitance, the Farad is simply (A/V)s. Basically, your argument feels like it is begging the question -- we gave those functions of V and I names, so now they are fundamental units but not the memristor one... because it doesn't have a name?
I would say using faking is little harsh. All you are doing is providing seed data.
