Look at all the media attention to her hair

I am not gonna lie, Trump's hair got much more coverage. She is not treated fundamentally different than a male candidate, except in a positive bias as in "I want to see a woman leading the country!" It is obvious that Hillary leverages gender-based tribalism to get the female vote (and the gentleman's).

The argument that people are unconsciously biased is precisely such an emotionally manipulative argument to give Hillary a gender-based advantage. That does not work with people who are hardened against emotional manipulation though, like myself.
Careful what conclusions you draw from this post. The comments have further discussion which are very relevant:

Was/Is this app located in the EU region? If so, we recently (yesterday 2013/9/30) fixed a problem where each log line would result in a separate, almost synchronous post to logplex. This problem should now be solved.

@Edward and Fred: the app is indeed running in the EU region. I haven’t gotten around seeing if the performance has improved (the app in question was very ephemeral to begin with), but I’m glad this helped you close in on this issue!

Also, another commenter tested the blocking vs. non-blocking property of stdout and found the default is "pipe" on Heroku [1].

So the most simple conclusion is that this was a problem affecting Heroku logging in the EU region that was identified and resolved back in 2013.

I found visualization very much helpful when complexity rises. APIs stays powerful but do not support a human admin for monitoring and server setups (including IAM users, Services, Tasks, Clusters, Launching EC2 instances, ECR setup for docker, AIM, Loadbalancing, Security groups, Roles etc all multiplied to X regions).
Don't worry about what others say or feel. You have an audience of two: yourself first and the man who writes your check.

If you are adding value, you're doing it right. You are either a cost center or a profit center. Be the profit center and you will never want for a job.

I'm almost 50 and still in the game. If I'm honest, I still worry from time to time about being irrelevant, but if I'm still adding value, and I am, then what the other IT people around me think doesn't matter. Add value, learn as you go, gain in wisdom and understanding and you will always be cash-flow positive.

Don't make the mistake that so many do that you have to be working on something cutting edge or popular. Those jobs are nice, but I've learned--at least for myself--that I prefer the maintenance jobs. I enjoy taking something and making it better, even if it's just a quick fix, like two lines of code. Own everything you do. Be proud of your work.

You're still young with plenty of time to get where you will be going. Don't be in a rush to "prove yourself" to anyone but yourself and the man writing your check. Don't listen to naysayers, don't get trapped in the mindset that only the new, darling languages are worth investing in. Good programming skills are not language specific. Learn what you can. Use the correct tool for the job. Don't be a method man. Be the profit center.

All bugs are terribly easy to spot in hindsight. I don't think it's fair to criticize this one in that fashion. Systemd has lots of pros and cons, but the age of this bug isn't interesting IMO. Its severity is, but that only speaks to the critical need to patch it ASAP.
A tangential question:

Everyone speaks about InnoDB and how performant and reliable it is... and multiple firms even use it as a KV-store (Uber/Pinterest/AWS) bypassing MySQL entirely. I have never heard much about storage engines in Postgres, why could this be so?

There probably exist COTS things to do exactly what they use this C64 for, used by other garages. When the day comes that this thing runs out, they can always switch to one of those. That's probably a better idea than trying to get this to work in a C64 emulator, timing issues and all.

I will admit that LIDAR could conceivably enhance a really good vision system by offering better depth perception, but I don't believe that's why people are using it today.

In principle we are going towards some sort of consolidation aka biodiversity annihilation worldwide, so that there will be 5-7 corporations / governments deciding for we all. It would be good if, say, they had a global superior mission (for example: space colonisation). It is not good if they only act for their own shareholders or bureaucrats (who are they? what they want from us if not enslavement and control?). You don't need fascism or communism in the given forms, it is the principle from which they arise that is emerging from these global consolidations again.

It would be nice to hear more details because there's some discussion around how to replace this technology. An alternative perspective is to ask how much longer will this technology need to run? At what point will the equipment used to balance the drive shafts no longer be necessary because the older vehicles are no longer road worthy? Sure, I'm assuming this setup is for older vehicles, and that's why I'd like to hear more info, but the point is to not simply think about replacing an existing technology when it's better to let it run it's course.

>Parents have also done pretty heinous activities in the name of parental discretion

Actually, it's that counter-argument that's meaningless. The (rather obvious and enormous) difference is that no one is demanding that everyone else do something according to those parents' discretion. It's actually the point here.

>Government policies also agree "that some discrimination among vaccines is prudent".

It's odd that people are so trusting of "the government" in this one area. The mandatory vaccine schedule most certainly features vaccines for illnesses that are generally self-limiting, and for which the benefits are arguable, even for "experts" (gasp!).

>There is no requirement that everyone follow a vaccination schedule.

Huh? Your previous comment stated that I might not like it, but the government decides; then it painstakingly laid out supporting case law. Don't know what you're trying to say.

>The question is...

That whole paragraph progresses into a slippery-slope of increasingly discretionary rationale that highlights why people should have ultimate control over their own bodies. Yes, we could keep listing rationales until, eventually, even you might find a reason for pause.

And, your trust in the purity of the process is interesting.

>and repeated in scores of countries?

The schedule is not uniform and countries disagree over specific vaccines. Kind of blows your whole theory. Now, which "experts" do you trust to decide what you must pump into your kids?

This article is clearly written by someone who has never worked on a safety critical system. There is a method for establishing risk and making risk-benefit tradeoffs, not just feeling certain. If we did that many more people would be killed.

If the author is arguing about public scrutiny, then I generally agree with the argument, but existing safety engineering practices will work for driverless cars.

Not a TLDR but from the transcript [1] under "On App Store search ads":

...how do you do it in a way that gives advantages to small and indie developers, because it's easy to imagine a system that didn't do that.

First of all, there's no minimum bid. So we don't set a bar, if you have a very small amount of money, you can just do what you can with a small amount of money.

The fact that we're going to work really hard to try to make relevance the top priority, over bid, for why something gets shown. That the users are the ultimate deciders of what gets shown, based on their clicks, they're a big input to what is relevant to the search result.

The fact that we're going to work hard to try to police and improve the whole metadata system if we find, as it easily could be abused to hurt [small] developers.

The fact that — and this has been a hotly-debated thing — the fact that you can do conquesting. You can use someone else's brand in your ad words that you want to use. As we thought about it, that is more likely to benefit the small developer than the big developer. Because the big developer isn't going to pick on a lot of small developer terms, but a small developer can try to latch on to a big developer's name. If I want to search for Angry Birds and your game, you can. Right? And so we think that that can help them.

The fact that there's no exclusivity. So a large developer cannot say, "And I want to be the top bid, and I'm going to spend everything I can to buy out this term." There will be no exclusivity, there's going to be a rotation there, and as that rotation appears, the relevance will help drive it further.

We're trying everything we can, and I think one of the best things is, right now, once we're in beta throughout the summer, the downloads the users get from the ads are real downloads to benefit the developer, but we're not charging [for ads] during the beta time. So there's a chance for everybody to get in and try it out, help us learn from it, and drive real downloads and real business without any marketing spend.

Don't feel too bad for them. Drivers are the most desired position. When I worked there guys were waiting 10-15 years to make it to a driver.

They bid on routes, based on seniority. Some bid on late routes (i.e. boxes where the last pickup is 7:30pm, etc.) on purpose as anything over 8 hours was time-and-a-half. Back around '00 they started at $50k for drivers, so it adds up.

UPS is amazing where I am. Our local driver knows where to put my packages. When he is off, he has trained the other drivers to do the same.

USPS and Fed-EX are horrible in my area. They often mark packages as "undeliverable as addressed" and I have to call and complain.

I had an Amazon rep stick up for this behavior recently. The rep said "well maybe you aren't on a GPS or perhaps you haven't labeled your house clearly enough or maybe your address is different than what you think it actually is (given roads get re-named over time)"
Every person about to be involved in a traffic accident needs to make that decision, and the decision each individual makes can vary wildly. Maybe to hurt the least amount of feelings the car should just do a coin flip when its only choices are hitting 2 people.
Methadone is available in the US. It's controversial here, not least because recipients have to take their dose at a clinic, in front of staff, to ensure the methadone isn't being sold or used in incorrect doses. There are lots of NIMBY fears related to the clinics, as many people don't want recovering addicts in their neighborhood everyday. So clinics are not well distributed, and treatment isn't free.
I suffer from regular anxiety issues and that line certainly helped. It reminded me that I am not the only one who has this. In fact, it is kind of "normal" because even celebrities have it.

Again, if you're large enough to be in multiple regions, all of this should be configured via the APIs using a configuration management system of some sort.

Ansible, for example, can easily manage stuff like security groups (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/ec2_group_module.html) , load balancing (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/ec2_elb_lb_module.html), IAM users and roles (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/iam_module.html), etc., and it does them in repeatable, auditable, version-controllable, self-documenting fashion.

Speculative summary: because cars with drivers kill more people, and while drivers can be assisted with technology, there's more opportunity to drive the accident rate further down with driverless cars.

I do not know if this is real but in Hot Fuzz (there goes the credibility) the main protagonist insists that traffic accidents are actually collisions. The name accident implies that there is no culprit but I believe in vast majority of fatal crashes there is a faulty party.

Some older statistics I read claimed that (in UK I think) 30% of crashes were due to alcohol and another 30% to fatigue. In these cases for example there is a culprit and the crash was no accident. For me, accidents are cases when a mechanical part breaks or an oil spill makes the vehicle incontrollable. But people crashing into each other because of alcohol, fatigue, boredom, distraction or speed should be responsible for their acts and should not claim being in an accident.

Likely third-party voter here:

(1) I suspect every voter has a threshold of evil-ness beyond which they simply can't in good conscience vote for Candidate X, even if Candidate Y is evil-er. For me, we've passed that threshold.

(2) I don't live in a swing state, so my vote already has only symbolic significance. As such I'd rather go on record voting no confidence in either Clinton or Trump, and vote for someone that I think would actually do a reasonable job if by some miracle they became president.

(3) I know Gary Johnson and the other third-party candidates have no chance of winning - _this_ time. I accept that (in my opinion) we're screwed for at least the next four years no matter whether it's Clinton or Trump, but if as many votes as possible go third-party this election, maybe - just maybe - third-parties will gain enough credibility to have a reasonable chance next election, or else the two major parties will finally get the message and pick better candidates.
