The other poster doesn't know how many people will die from the meltdown especially since there's no agreement on estimating Chernobyl deaths. The pro-nuclear crowd proudly boasts the number is zero which I don't believe, the plant manager died of radiation as many of the sailors on the USS Reagan, which brings the total up from zero.

Good article and it's saying something that I've also been saying for years. tl;dr: A code coverage measurement only says where you did -not- check for bugs (since code that was not exercised can't possibly have been checked for bugs); moreover it also does -not- say whether the code that was covered (i.e. exercised) was tested to any meaningful degree (it's perfectly possible to get a code coverage number without checking any results at all).

I do disagree with one statement in the article: "In fact I would argue, it’s hard to imagine a code coverage value of over 70% to be of any value whatsoever.". Having seen it done for a mission-critical system, if one uses extremely strict TDD (i.e. no line of code is written without a corresponding unit test that verifies its effects) then the high code coverage number does provide useful direct guidance as to what areas of the code haven't been fully scrutinized. In our case, the efforts paid off: there were no significant bugs found after release.
Err, the file browser area.
Look, from a legal perspective this is a matter of civil procedure. For Apple to enforce this agreement it has to first discover your usage and then prove its damages in a court. The damages would likely be the cost of Mac hardware of equivalent power to the VMs plus legal fees.

What this means is that no one should spin up a server farm of OS X VMs and then blog about it. For everyone else, Apple is not going to discover you and if they do they are not going to pursue damages against you for the cost of a Mac Mini. Apple is just not out there doing that type of lawsuit

Try looking for papers about image caption generation. For machine translation you can squeeze the information of a sentence into a vector (using a LSTM). You can then reconstruct the sentence in a different language. There was a paper how to generate such a "sentence representation vector" from an image instead, translating from "image" to "english".
I have never understood this.

It seems like there's a lot of overhead, a lot of staff, time, and money that goes into these negotiations that doesn't add any value and could be avoided entirely if the medical industry worked like every other industry.

As a patient, this negotiating is completely opaque and feels very shady. I have no idea what to expect to pay for medical procedures, and the bills I receive are impossible to decipher - there's no clear bill of sale like there is for example when I take my car to the shop. Even worse, some providers (for example, an anesthesiologist) decide they are out of network or work independently from the hospital. Then I receive a bill that may or may not be legitimate, from a person I didn't choose to do business with, with costs seemingly pulled from thin air. If the person who installed the fuel pump at my auto shop decided to send me his own bill, I would laugh at him, but this is apparently normal practice in healthcare?!

I don't know how to fix healthcare, and I understand costs can be unpredictable when you are first admitted (especially in an emergent situation) but making costs consistent, clear, and transparent and discussing them at time of service, where possible, seems like a good first step.

No, he was implying that the reaction of shareholders is an acid test of ethics: that if you can't even tell your shareholders about something iffy, it's very unlikely that it's ethical. But he didn't say or imply that the opinion of shareholders completely disposed of the question.
This was definitely a consideration. It was why there is a blacklist feature and why only links of a certain length and certain type are analyzed. Any suggestions can be made on github via a pull request.
It depends on when and why I'm defining it, but my guidelines are more based on how they work than what they know:

* Junior developer - Will not produce much business value if left alone, and may produce nothing at all. Requires supervision.

* Intermediate developer - Will produce something if left alone, but not necessarily what the business most needs. Needs minimal supervision, but defined goals.

* Senior developer - Will produce immediate business value if completely ignored.

The domain and language don't matter for these, really. A Senior Go developer is going to produce immediate business value if you suddenly throw him/her into a Lisp team, too. Just slower.

When someone is considering hiring you, this is more or less what they're thinking about. It's not "do you know Scala," it's "are you going to make us more money than you cost." It's just hard to prove, for either side, so we talk about past experience instead.
No I won’t tell you what DevOps is. Tell me what you want to achieve instead
No, it's not. Senior and junior convey real, tangible differences. A senior development is more empowered by their experience and is much more effective than a junior developer.
Along the lines of exercise for me is a bit of manual labor - be it working outside or doing a bit of remodeling around the house or washing the car. Just the other day I was feeling a bit stressed and went outside to wash the car. Not a full on 3 hour wash / polish / wax but just to give it a quick wash / get some bugs off / clean the glass, etc... Normally I leave this task until the weekend. Still took about an hour. Felt much better when I was done - took a quick shower and got to work on my side projects.

Anything that gets me away from looking at a screen for a few hours helps.

That's not new. What also isn't new is that when those same people get married and have kids, they'll be looking to move out of that urban environment.

Ah, yeah, companies like that I never buy from, something that far out means either they don't have it in stock and e.g. may have trouble getting it, and you're likely to get a better deal elsewhere from a vendor that deals with the item in quantity, or they're so messed up they can't get it out any time sooner, which I take as a very bad sign.

Of course, if something is being shipped slowly and therefore cheaply from e.g. Japan, that's fine. And the U.K. book and CD vendors take a while, but they don't quote periods hardly that long, and in my experience under-promise and over-deliever. But I'll frequently pay a bit more to get something sooner than from them.

I grew up in Norway. While I am very positive to nuclear - even with worst case estimates for Chernobyl, nuclear is one of the safest ways we have of getting energy - it's worth realising that even today reindeer from certain parts of Norway needs to be checked for radiation before slaughter, as radioactive cesium carried into the atmosphere rained down over parts of Norway, and depending on weather etc. reindeers some years end up eating more mushrooms and other food that is contaminated.

It's expected that this will continue for decades still.

Fukushima did not release a similar cloud of radioactive materials over such large areas.
Attempting to speak for the rest of the group: You sound like the Wells Fargo CEO, who was criticized for using the term 'unethical' for actions that were clearly 'illegal'. That is, he used words for clearly illegal actions that somehow implied that maybe it was ok, maybe not, depending on how you look at it.

You did the same thing - took fraudulent actions, admitted that maybe it wasn't the best thing ('shady'), then started talking about what a great company it was and how you are glad it exists. That is definitely underplaying the situation.

> It's not Rust, but: golang

This is a false choice. Go and Rust are not replacements for each other. They both have qualities which make each better suited for different environments.

Rust is actually capable of replacing all uses of C, Go's runtime will generally be an impediment to using it in certain cases.

Also I would argue that there are entire classes of bugs that are still available in Go that are not in Rust, that make it less suited for security. Null pointer exceptions, and unchecked errors are the two that come to mind.

Making the change does probably keep Google on the right side of the law. By keeping track of all messages, Allo conversations will be accessible by law enforcement with warrants – something that can’t happen on apps like iMessage or WhatsApp, both of which have run into trouble over not being able to give up information to authorities.

It should be the other way. There should be a law saying that a company must meet some hurdle to store personal information for a long period of time. At least disclose it publicly. It's so ironic that the EU cares about websites disclosing that they store cookies, but not that they store conversations indefinitely.

The law would put a chilling effect on storing personal information indefinitely. But, like carbon emissions, it will only slow the progress towards a future where all the carbon is released from the ground / all the data is stored and analyzed by AI years from now.
Business software is about regulatory compliance. That is the baked in value that these behemoths offer.
Actually I think point #1 reduces competition and encourages monosopnies, at least under our current situation where there are only a few major insurers. B2B market competition is probably even more important for prescription drugs than consumer market competition given the nature of medicine. That law effectively eliminates the government from engaging in competitive market practices (in other words, this gives pharmaceuticals a very large source of funds from a major purchaser of pharmaceuticals whose hands are effectively tied when it comes to both price and choice). IMHO this probably has done a lot to increase the price of prescriptions over the years. If private insurance was a highly competitive market, perhaps things would be different, but it's not.

The problem with #2 is that it creates artificial scarcity. In this case, there is plenty of justification as you don't want shady medicine on the market. The question is whether the FDA is being overcautious with generics and imports. As of now there's certainly plenty of people illegally importing prescription medicine from offshore pharmacies in an unregulated manner, because prescription prices are so inflated compared to most countries.

Lobbying does not produce some of the outright corruption that bribery does, but I've seen more than my fair share of lobbying encouraged laws in the US over the years where a subtext of the law was to eliminate competition. I'm not sure how much of current drug law is pharmaceutical industry influence (my gut feel is some but not all) but some of it definitely, for good reasons or not, blocks up the "invisible hand" of competitive forces.

At least the good thing about a system like the US (vs. the Russian example) is that there's some hope that public outrage over the most egregious examples (your Martin Shkrelis and whatnot) will cause some changes.

Honestly, as a Canadian, this is what I find so dumb about our urban planning. People demand adequate house spacing, backyard space, etc... Only for it to be usable for 4 months of the year. Meanwhile, all that dead space makes our cities unwalkable in the other 8 months. I guess people are just so used to having to drive everywhere that they don't see how else it could be.

For a public company, this calculation is pretty easy. If saving lives doesn't maximize shareholder value, you don't do it.
I make mayo on a regular basis and with a single egg I've been able to make 2 liters of mayo (and roughly same volume of mustard which also acts as a binder).

Industrial mayonnaise is not made with a simple whisk and elbow grease but with high speed methods that allows for much more water and oil to be part of the mayo. When I make mayo water is not even an ingredient whereas Hellmans has it as the second ingredient. The only water I get is from lemon juice or vinegar.

So yeah something smells fishy with their claims.

The important Berkshire acquisitions are entire companies, most of the time private. Sometimes they were public at one point but were taken private before BRK bought them. (ex: Duracell). Sometimes they were public at the point Berkshire bought them (ex: BNSF) but this seems to be the exception.[1]

The public stock acquisitions that they talk about on the 13-F are really a minority of Berkshire's activity, but sometimes he really does get a better price because he's willing and able to negotiate weird deals like the Bank of America warrants.

> that likely caused tens of thousands of extra cancer cases and deaths.

From a very quick reading of that (fairly complex) Wikipedia article - 'tens of thousands' needs to be caveated rather heavily. Estimates range wildly and disagreements about methodology abound.

Some example quotes:

> The total deaths reliably attributable by UNSCEAR to the radiation produced by the accident therefore was 62.

> The full version of the WHO health effects report [...] predicted that, in total, 9000 will die from cancer among the 6.9 million most-exposed Soviet citizens. This report is not free of controversy, and has been accused of trying to minimize the consequences of the accident.

> Greenpeace suggested there will be 270,000 cases of cancer attributable to Chernobyl fallout, and that 93,000 of these will probably be fatal.

So - it seems estimates range from 62 to 270,000...

I'm not qualified to determine which end of that range is the most plausible.
So folks know, there are already at least 2 EpiPen alternatives that are FDA approved.

One is the "Adrenaclick," which is another epinephrine autoinjector that (and this is key) must be specifically prescribed. You can't take an EpiPen prescription and ask for an Adrenaclick, your doctor has to specifically prescribe Adrenaclick. But right now it's a lot cheaper. A friend just switched and his copay went from $200 for EpiPen to $8 for Adrenaclick.

The other is to buy a bottle of epinephrine and use syringes, or buy pre-filled epinephrine syringes. Again, a doctor must specifically prescribe this, but it's a lot cheaper than EpiPen. More complicated to self-administer in an emergency, though--but better than nothing, especially for 3rd parties with access to training, like wilderness guides, teachers, etc.

The FDA regulates what gets to be called "mayonaise", and the investigation was about whether they were allowed to use the word "mayo" for something that didn't have egg in it. They settled by putting "egg-free" on the front label in reasonably large text.
