Never tweet. It may be meant ironically but it's a really excellent piece of advice to keep in mind, even as you do in fact tweet.
I would argue that a combo of the ADA and the nature of providing transit services would ... pretty much mean that working in transit is a choice that has a high likelihood of interacting with dogs... and that's on that person for making that choice.

And most religions while they have restrictions about X, Y, Z are also generally forgiving of happenstance, accidental religious rules violations, and just the necessities of living with others people.
Of course this will get weaponized, if it isn't already.

We've seen time and time again that a vile old tweet in the wrong hands can be very powerful, it's a ticking time bomb. Think 5 or even 10+ years down the road, some of the kids who are edgy on twitter today might go in to politics or hold some other high level position.

I don't think the current climate is going to cool down anytime soon, but maybe something like this will either lead to mutually assured destruction or, what I'm hoping for, old tweets losing their power in the long run.
Using third party tools doesn’t lock you out of them. Nothing stops you from the collecting that data before sending it off.

Every company outsources something fundamental. Does Google mine its own metal? Generate its own electricity?

Even if you did it on prem, that doesn’t save you from license renewal costs or upgrades. You can write the software yourself, but that’s not cheap either.
I took some dance training long ago, and pro dancers make mistakes all the time. They're very good at covering them with an "I meant that" attitude. I remember a nationally ranked pro couple once doing an exhibition dance where the woman had a wardrobe malfunction. Her expression and style never wavered, and she altered her movements slightly to fix it. It all happened so quickly and smoothly hardly anyone noticed.

I've never heard a pro singer sing a song the same way twice. That's why recording studios take many takes, picking the best of the lot. They'll even splice together cuts from multiple takes. Autotune revolutionized this, too.
My feeling is that Spark is better for huge ETL jobs and Dask is better for certain types of model building (because of easy access to Python libraries), but don't have any benchmarks to back this up. Would love some benchmark results comparing processing tens of terabytes on equal sized i3.xlarge EC2 clusters to get a better idea of benchmarks.

Have you seen any good Spark vs. Dask benchmarks?
What if you build that into the protocol? Having to set up on Mars in order to double-spend something would make it rather difficult for most people.
Now, somebody implement multiplayer!
Yeah, this is a problem but not one without a solution (unless Android bundles in a built-in Firewall API that other apps could use [0]): RethinkDNS already supports chaning via SOCKS5, and it would also soon support connections to/from WireGuard endpoints: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/52

And since RethinkDNS' underlying tunnel implementation is in Go, I'm fully expecting wireguard-go to fit in seamlessly.

No, the meritocracy is actually defined by performance/KPIs which determine advancement. For example all party members must first pass 2 tests before acceptance as members than work at local rural level to advance from there.

There is no concept of 'established elites' because even the poorest can rise to top as President Xi has.
Why do paper stock certificates have value ?

That's idiotic, it's just another case where the judge is 20 years behind current affairs, he is judging something he clearly doesn't understand.

I'm so tired of hearing this from hackers who have never taken a law class or picked up a book. Many hackers are abysmally ignorant of the law, and not all that good at critical thinking either. Some of those won't even listen to an explanation of how it does work, but double down on their ignorance and throw a tantrum instead.
Emergency medicine is inelastic and not conducive to price shopping and other research.

But, what percentage of medicine falls into that category?

For example, I currently have a shoulder injury. I'm meeting with an ortho specialist next week. And it will likely require surgery to correct.

So, while I "need" the surgery, there's no real hurry. I could take an extra week to meet with several providers and ask about pricing.

Of course, I won't do that, because my medical plan is paying the vast majority of the cost. I'll just get nickle-and-dimed with co-pays for the next 6 months.
Thanks! I just registered in both and it is a very simple process(though I am still waiting on approval). There are quite a few software contracts in there.
I suspect that the rules regarding interactions with the TSA are likely to bypass that. And, good luck getting food or water in that time.
I still consider the angular docs extremely sparse, that being said, the google group is extremely helpful.
They have those. Maybe not exactly in the format you specify, but there are statistics for various star ratings and accident survivability.
This is an interesting 1st Amendment discussion (relating to the article...I am not touching the separate FDA/drug issue).

The most analogous case that comes to mind, is the recent California small claims case against Honda.

Facts: According to the EPA (who independently tests vehicles fuel efficiency) the Prius gets an average of 51 MPG. The Plaintiff claimed she only got an average of approximately 30 MPG. The Plaintiff won the lawsuit against Honda for fraudulent misrepresentation winning $10K the small claims limit in the jurisdiction. However, one of the most interesting arguments (and legitimate) was that while Honda does advertise the 51 MPG, that Honda could not be fraudulently misrepresenting the MPG, because Honda had no control over the testing or findings handled by the EPA, and going further Honda does not have a right (1st amendment) to contradict the "EPA sticker". Ergo according to the argument Honda should not be liable, rather the EPA - nevertheless the Court found Honda liable for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Assuming this law is on point and controlling, for example, if the Tesla were to under perform in a real crash and Tesla was sued, Tesla may be liable despite having no control over the NHTSA test or findings. Going further, if the dicta from the Honda case is also on point, if Tesla's internal crash tests contradict NHTSA's ratings, Tesla would not have a 1st Amendment right to contradict the NHTSA findings publicly.

Note: That SCOTUS makes a distinction between "commercial speech" and other forms of speech, and the government has a lot more power to regulate commercial speech than say political speech.

This is very much in spirit to Casey Muratori's (Handmade Hero) 'Compression Oriented Programming'

http://mollyrocket.com/casey/stream_0019.html

For all the people complaining about both (the lack of) generics and high performance systems level programming, this and his allies in the video game industry such as Mike Acton

(Data Oriented Design in C++)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc

and Jonathan Blow
(Ideas about a new programming language for games)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH9VCN6UkyQ

argue that performance and the focusing on the problem you are trying to solve are intimately related. Needless levels of abstraction (particularly ones that go against the hardware) and generically trying to solve for cases you will never actually use is a waste of real performance and developer time.
The principal data structure of Lisp is a list which is written like this: (a b c d). Like the article mentions, when you see Lisp code you're in fact reading the same list syntax, only that, when the list itself is not quoted, the "a" is evaluated as a function, which is why (+ 1 2) behaves the way it does. If you quote the list by saying "'(a b c d)" then it is a list of symbols, so "'(+ 1 2)" does nothing.

Hence, Lisp code is made of nested lists. When you think further about it, it means that Lisp metaprogramming facilities may do things just with plain list manipulation functions! So it's not about metaprogramming itself, it's that it's incredibly easy. This is what people refer as "code as data" and "homoiconicity" and so on.
tl;dr: Interesting summary of the issues. Not much actionable at the end.
If you consider bolting on whatever feature the php developers can wrap their heads half way around, as "improving", then sure..

See this reddit comment,

http://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/2zhg6z/how_true_is_this...

and tell me what you think about it. When stuff like this exist, does it matter if it gets all the shiny new features and speed improvements? Not to mention that by php's development culture, these new features probably end up half baked and with it's own set of weird behaviors...
You are spot on when it comes to the difference in cultures. But Europe has little bearing to the argument as the question was more about US welfare.

And don't pretend you don't know why entrepreneurs come to the US... we all know why, that's where the money is. Investors and consumers with spending money. It's as simple as that.
I had something similar happen to me when working in institutional purchasing, and Comcast responded to an RFI we put out.

For several months, I had been working unsuccessfully to get Comcast to fix my home connection which would drop several times a day. (Modem losing sync, down for 5-10 min usually.) A friend lived in the neighborhood, and we figured out something interesting was up when we saw each other drop from IRC at the same time.

So, Comcast comes in to discuss their RFI response, and I raised the question of plant monitoring and proactive maintenance. "If there was a problem which affected multiple customers, do you take measures to detect this?"

When they answered in the affirmative, I raised my issue and asked them to elaborate.

The problem was fixed the next day, turns out it was a failed weather seal on something nearby.
So you can buy this software for 24.99, and then after a month of use, decide not to use it - cancel your subscription - and the software then becomes useless to you. You've just lost 24.99 and end up with nothing to show for it.

If you buy this software for 299.00, you can use it for a month and then decide its not for you - you've lost 299, but you've still got the software on your system, and can change your mind 3 months later, if you need to, and still have a valid, working tool.

I dunno, I just don't like the idea of having to be beholden to a company, every month, for the right to use a developer tool that I'd be happier having a permanent installation of .. it reeks of the trappings of a walled garden, and even if the bells and whistles are worth the hassle, the politics of the situation just rubs me up the wrong way.

I'd be much happier buying a tool I'm going to use, at my own discretion either regularly, irregularly, or not at all (my choice), than have to ask permission to use it every month. Its the asking-of-permission, expressed as a subscription model, which is the core of my disinterest.

(I've signed up for a 14-day trial, anyway, because the tool interests me enough to warrant further investigation, but unless I find some serious bells and whistles, I'm quite sure I'll be throwing it away after the trial..)
Happened to me as well when I was visiting the US. My answer would be: because as a non-resident I didn't have one. But then again I'm not OP.
The standards just describe what to do to make a standards compliant HTML page, what tags are allowed etc.

There are no standards that say that e.g. your page can't be all dependent on JS.

In other words, Google could be 100% standards compliant, and not work in Lynx.
Honestly, I find that PASETO [0] is a better candidate to replace JWTs since it supports encrypting these tokens and doesn't have multiple ciphers to choose from, unlike JWTs. They can be used just like them for signing, etc just without the weak cryptography in the token.

Fernet [1] was close to being an alternative but I've seen that even Branca [2] tokens look much more like a saner alternative for replacing JWTs.

Seems like it would have been easier to just take the paper tape and punch either circles (dots) or ovals (dashes) and have conductors pushed up against the tape. Whenever the conductors touch (through cut-out gaps in the paper), they transmit tone.

No need for compound levers, just some springs. And a mechanism to pull the paper at a fixed rate
You should buy $100 of BTC or so and keep it for stuff like this, I like paying with it. The experience is pretty good and you own your money.

With RIRs running out of addresses, that's about to change (well, realistically, maybe in 1-2 years).

As techs, I think it's our responsibility to push this forward and keep the Internet free and decentralized.
Somehow here in Brazil there was a startup (recently sold) that had cheaper fares, paid more to drivers, and was still lucrative.

You cannot prove that a piece of information is unknown.

> The perl developers greatly underestimated the importance of syntactic sugar and familiarity.

I don't think that's the case. The problem is that the generation of tools that have stuff in common with perl (awk, sed, shell) are completely unfamiliar to programmers which started programming in the last 15 years, compared to those that started 30 years ago.
I started calling it out as vaporware around the Holidays 2001. I would be shouted down by certain zealots who would tell me code (pre-Alpha quality) was available for use right now.

At least there are people maintaining Perl 5 at this point.
> Can one even use CPAN with Perl6? Is it even possible to convert existing Perl5 CPAN packages to support both versions at the same time (like all of the PyPI packages that support both Python2 and Python3)?

Respectively: Not at all, and not without major contortions. The languages have diverged a lot; even basic tasks like defining a function are not the same.

It probably wasn't just spin -- Toyota probably didn't initially believe that they had a multiple-fatality software bug. When I first read some of the news stories about this, years ago, I also thought it sounded far-fetched that a bug that caused your car to accelerate to 100+ mph and crash could have made it all the way to production.

But it is important to note that the post we are all commenting on here isn't "the" analysis. This is just an academic case study of this now-infamous and interesting case, based on public information.

The closest thing that we have to "the" analysis on this (since we will never see Toyota's internal analyses) is, as tokenrove linked to elsewhere in this thread, the one Michael Barr did that was the main analysis[1][2][3] used in the court case against Toyota.

But there have been a lot of other interesting articles and posts on this case, other than just this one.

Can someone briefly explain how the "multitasking" works, then?
I was under the impression that this will be possible, too.

I suppose apps that are sent into the background are just frozen in their current state and continue to run where they left of, when going into foreground? Just a guess, though..

This is just insane to me. At what point is domain seizure increasing or defending homeland security? I cannot see where these seizures are at all part of DHS's stated goals when the department was created.

How is it that our government agencies continue to limitlessly aggrandize their power & reach with no end in sight and, apparently, no recourse or prevention? Perhaps we need to return to constitutional amendments protecting the People and the states from unfettered power grabs--such as an amendment that expressly prohibits a federal agency of the executive branch from increasing its reach without due congressional process & said increase being legislated and passed by both houses, like any other law.

I'd like to believe it's an idea that liberals, conservatives, independents, and anyone else can actually agree on. But ... we're talking about people here. And politics.
Thank you for the details Bobby! I will take a look to Isorocket.

I did like A Separation for how it drew you into its ethical dilemmas, and also how it kept the truth hidden from you as much as it was for the main character who acts a witness to the unfolding conflict. I also thought the last scene was a beautiful counterpoint to the heaviness of the film.
The responsible approach is the one that delivers the best cost/benefit for the customer. Yes, it doesn't mean producing something that's completely unusable - but it rarely means producing something completely bug-free either.

I've downloaded the study on which the premise of this article is based and, as usual, it's assumed that the energy needed to move a bike has no carbon footprint, while in reality it has.

Specifically on an European diet(~1.5-2g CO2/kcal) a cyclist is responsible for ~27g CO2/km, which is not negligible and puts cycling on par with public transport.

I don't believe cycling to be a solution here. It's said that 25% of trips in the Netherlands are currently done by bike, but what is left out is that, according to this study(2012):

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01441647.2013.80...

50% of trips are still done by car.

Looking at distance traveled it's 75% cars and 8% bicycles.

That's after decades of changes in infrastructure to accommodate cyclists.
As an Apple TV user while I use to live and breathe Netflix with all the other services it’s a bit overwhelming but I use the Apple TV app as a hub to access them all in one interface except Netflix blocks apple from integrating with that so over time I’ve watched less and less because it’s just not convenient. I understand Netflix doesny want to hand over that control to apple and others but think not integrating is going to back fire since their content is good but not good enough to be a one stop shop anymore.
> JS is a poor language to be the foundation for client-side web computing

> I honestly think we could be leaving 50% perf improvement on the floor

Unfortunately, humans have not got significantly faster (or smarter) in the last couple thousand years, as opposed to computers, that get twice as fast every 18 months or so.

Dynamic languages, by placing the burden of optimization on the compiler/runtime are making the right bet. Static-typing is little more than a human doing the machine's work, often at the expense of introducing subtler bugs (the compiler catches the obvious mistakes and that may leave programmers with a false sensation of security).

> Can we please move away from JS and move to a nice IL?

As for moving to precompiled, possibly obfuscated scripts, I would much rather concede a little less dynamism on the language and move the compiler into the browser. You could, conceivably, declare the type of arguments and return values and rather easily, in that case, perform some optimization as the code is parsed.

I have no love for JavaScript. It's a little tortured language that I am sure passed through a lot more marketing specialists than needed before taking its current form and bears the scars from that process. It has, however, some good parts that are very good.
Really, why does anyone take the NYT seriously anymore? It seems that barely a week goes by these days without some new way in which they discredit themselves. If you were a conservative "anti-woke" mole who'd infiltrated the NYT and wanted to publish fake content in a deliberate attempt to destroy the organisation's credibility you couldn't have done much better than the self-inflicted wounds the NYT has been pouring out again and again and again lately.
Thank you both very much for your comments. With English as a second language it is easy to never learn the true meaning of words. I feel quite stuck with my current level for several years already and tiny bits like these are great improvements. Cheers!

I'm not really sure why "you can get rid of your systems and ops guys because developers can now deploy to the cloud" is elitism, if you take the long view. (Today, yes, you're jumping the gun a bit if you don't think you need ops folks.)

We're likely less than 5-10 years away from a world where most operational tasks can be passed on to trusted cloud providers, similar to how you don't wire up your own phone service or plumbing any longer. You still need talented ops people, but they'll be working for a service provider not your own organization.
The logic only works on masses of people, not individuals.
Well, I would cry foul if ICE was taking them down for 'counterfeiting,' but once they were arrested, none of the charges included counterfeiting. [i.e. the 'counterfeiting' classification is just a rouse to get jurisdiction.]
I'd like more physical controls for the wipers. Assuming I can't get a retrofit of the normal rain-sensor that everyone else uses so successfully.
And then you'll need to enforce that. What are you going to do when people require assistance because of the current situation, throw 10k people in jail because they can't pay? Evict them from their apartments?

I don't think you want to go full authoritarian when you essentially need to cooperation of the public, especially in Germany that has had it's run-ins with authoritarian, totalitarian governments.

Sure, you can station armed soldiers on any street and tell them to shoot if somebody shows their face ... but you might find that you've done more damage to society than an overwhelmed health system during an pandemic could have done.
