"For firms that are inexperienced in the biomedical space, they have hopefully learned that growth cannot compensate for flaws in science or technology. If they continue to invest in biomedical, they will be much more careful in their DD; or perhaps they lose their appetite for biomedical and leave entirely."

Exactly, which will result in essentially a return to the status quo. The investors who understand the complexities and models of the various biomedical industries will continue to invest as they always have. The carpetbaggers will fold up their tents and move on. The result is less likely to be systemic taint or damage to biotech startups as a whole -- though this may happen in the short term -- and more likely to be a reduction in fly-by-night or sketchy biotech startups for lack of funding.

"I don't think things have changed for biomedical startups that are based on good science and technology and have an experienced team."

"What would be wonderful is if the media learned a lesson from this mess. As I see it, they were a passenger in the Theranos hype machine."

The media hype surrounding Theranos was truly spectacular to behold. One day, nobody's ever heard of this company that's been stealthily chugging along for nearly a decade and raising heroic amounts of capital. The next day, Holmes is on the cover of every business magazine, in full Steve Jobs attire and disposition. (I'm pretty sure one or two breathless headlines actually called her "The next Steve Jobs.") Soon she's headlining the lecture circuit and racking up more puff pieces and cover stories.

It's as if nobody took a critical eye to any of this hype, other than the WSJ. No doubt a confluence of factors was at play here: A desire to fill the "Great Tech Visionary" vibe left vacant by Steve Jobs's death. A desire to find the next great female role model. A desire to cover "hard tech," and not just the Nth food-delivery app of the week. And then there's just good old-fashioned me-tooism, which routinely plagues the business press: "Everyone else is covering this, so it must be a Thing, and now that it's a Thing, we have to cover it!"

I don't even think they were "created by deliberately taming and selectively breeding" in the beginning. There were wolves, who voluntarily hung around human camps in a friendly manner, and those wolves being close to each other were more likely to mate. Same with cats. It's voluntary reciprocation.

If the animals would rather stay away, then I think we should not approach them on purpose with the intention of taming them, with the exception where they or their homes being targeted by other humans, for example pandas, and they have nowhere to go.

My rule of thumb is that if a goal is thought to be technically possible (although it may have not been done before) and there are people who can execute and have the resources to execute it to any degree, it will probably be done. Especially regardless of anyone else opinion if they are not intimately involved in such processes.

Latency of a new request as mentioned in one of those articles is the main reason why I self host everything.

Since HTTPS needs an extra round trip to startup, it's now even more important to not CDN your libraries. The average bandwidth of a user is only going to go up, and their connection latency will remain the same.

If you are making a SaaS product that business want, using CDNs also make it hard to offer a enterprise on-site version as they want the software to have no external dependencies.

Based on how ubiquitous it is to hear about agile failure modes, this suggests to me your experience isn't widely applicable.

I'm glad you found some of those one-in-a-million workplaces that "do agile right" -- but they are so rare that we can't go around basing our overall opinion about agile, or our expectations about the next marginal adoption of agile, upon these kinds of freak occurrences.

Well, yes, but even if everyone lived a third-world lifestyle I don't think we could realistically support 108 billion people today.
It's not though. This is why Agile is such a failure. Because people don't actually read the Manifesto.

It doesn't say planning is unimportant. It doesn't say contract negotiation is unimportant. It doesn't say timelines and knowing what you're doing is unimportant.

You can and should do all these things. It's amazing to me that Software Developers seem to believe their job is somehow unique and it's just not possible to do simple things General Contractors and real Engineers do every day.

Agile is just a set of values that amount to "be pragmatic and flexible".

You can totally do that without Scrum and avoiding any sort of planning until the last possible moment.

IME actual requirements almost never change in software. They're just frequently not surfaced until code hits the page because little to no due diligence was done on them. And I very very rarely see a case where an issue with fulfilling the client's desires as given couldn't have been surfaced and resolved very early on if someone had just sat down and thought about it for a few minutes before going off and promising something that couldn't be delivered in the time or budget allowed.

The article presents the issue as a partisan one, but on the Democrats' side Elizabeth Warren is currently championing a bill [0] directing the IRS to reduce their cooperation with third-party tax preparation services and develop their own competitor, plus develop a return-free filing method, all without simplifying the tax code in the slightest. Which seems to me to be in a similar vein of demanding that the IRS "fix" the problems caused by our tax code: instead of making the tax code simpler, she wants to just direct the IRS to do people's taxes for them, on top of all the IRS' other responsibilities.

> Unless the point is to get people to use different tools?

Kind of. I dream of an Internet where people have their own CSS/styles, and they can make it look how they want, rather than how the website wants it. I think of it like this: I'm a linux guy. I want my tools to output plainly to stdout. If I want to format them, I'll pipe them into my own formatting tools. I wish websites worked that way as well.
Normally you brute force vanity addresses by having a range of acceptable outcomes, whereas to brute force a specific vanity address* you are only targetting a single outcome.

So they might have just set it to filter for facebook[dictionaryword]+ and this was the best match.

* Actually any address, it's not limited to brute forcing vanity addresses.
Thanks a lot for incorporating the feedback. I have been working on a similar, internal tool within my company and I have realized the hard way how all capabilities can go waste if not communicated correctly to the stakeholders (developers in this case).

Intelligence can be unaware. Often they call algorithms "artificial intelligence".

Consciousness cannot be unaware.

Given only a limited set of inputs in a limited space, (e.g. r, g, b, a channels in a jpeg image, and a limited set of filters to separate cats from monkeys), modern neural networks are hardly aware, so they're hardly conscious.
>If we wanted better sneaker materials or retractable football stadium roofs surely we could have accomplished those tasks for far less money.

The problem with this type of attitude is that discovery doesn't work like this. Incremental improvements can sometimes work this way, but big discoveries do not. If there had been a mandate to "find a way to communicate without wires" I'm going to guess that it would not have gotten very far. Instead, this came about as a side effect of pure science research.
You have to be looking for faults in the language to be concerned over something like this. I know everyone isn't the biggest fan of canonical, and there are good reasons why that is. But they aren't trying to mislead anyone here. You can't possibly try to fault Canonical for X11's "security problem".

I don't know enough about either platform to respond to your OSX comparison. But if the concern is that they don't isolate enough then you are entitled to that opinion. But overall this is an improvement in this regard (whether or not its an improvement to the overall package management system is open to interpretation).

Agile does not work well for service teams like tech-ops and stand-alone qa teams. Strict kanban works better for those.

It still does work well for us even when we have multiple projects. Those multiple projects are time-sliced rather than resource-sliced whenever possible. In other words, keep your team focus on one thing for a given day. It's harder to get buy-in from your team to try it than it is to actually do and see succeed.

He did. Because it's a demonstration of how the court system (at least in the US) generally works. Pleading ignorance of the law when violating it, even when you use tools that are supposed to prevent that violation, doesn't always work. Anyone using these systems should still be aware of what they're doing and where they're allowed to go and should consider them mitigators, at best, when they get caught in violation of air space.

Watched it a couple of weeks ago and as always was deeply impressed by Curtis' work.

His style is so unique in that he approaches the subject matter from a totally unexpected angle, connecting seemingly unrelated events and concepts to create a unique and original painting of history.

Highly recommended.
Apollo era space navigation is not that complex, mainly a matter of (i) pointing the ship in the right direction, (ii) firing the engines until a certain velocity change had happened, and (iii) assessing the result. (ii) in particular is a one-dimensional problem, and (iii) can be done by the guys on the ground via radar.

What the shuttle did was much more complex because it was an unstable aircraft that required many "frames per second" applied to the control surfaces to keep it stable during reentry and landing.

Back around 2006 or so I wrote a simple software 3-d rendering engine in Javascript that was 8k in size without much effort towards minimizing size other being (a) maybe the only AJAX application that actually used XML (to represent 3d models) and (b) using XML element and attribute names that were just one character long.

Not long after that, libraries such as Prototype and JQuery were becoming popular and these were all many times bigger than my 3d engine before you even started coding the app.
I don't think Orthodox Christians see their traditions as "an arbitrary set of rules made up by someone" so much as a way of living prescribed by God himself through his emissaries on Earth (well, at least I'd figure many of them do hold this view).

In Christianity, religion alone (the act of doing things, force of the will, restraint, etc.) is worthless, even condemned. It's about God changing your heart to love Jesus, such that your love and joy for Him overpowers any past love for sinful things.

It's kind of like romantic love here on earth. When you're single, you might really enjoy going out and meeting people (bars, meetups, events, etc.), but once you find and marry "the one", your enjoyment for such things is nothing compared to your love for your new spouse.

This set of benchmarks is often helpful:

Particularly the "last mile" or "Chrome Homepage" tabs.

They cover the top websites, grouped into categories like "Retail", "Travel", "Media", etc.

The disparity across competitors is pretty stunning, with some websites getting close to 1 second to download/render a page, and others taking 6, 7, 8 , even 10 seconds. And these are all big, well known, companies.

And, for the most part, it all correlates very well to total page weight, and total number of artifacts on the page (js/css/images/etc). There are some exceptions, but it's a pretty strong correlation.
