Just a question, but how strictly is that followed? If a mentally disturbed person (who presents no current physical threat) is put in front of a psychiatric professional, how often is that professional going to say "Ah, let him/her be. They aren't going to harm anyone". Especially in today's climate of preemptive responses to threats.

As someone who went to Virginia Tech I've seen how that "eh, he's/she's not bothering anyone" response can go terribly wrong. And when it goes wrong, the first thing people will ask is why that professional didn't do something when they had the chance.

A huge chunk of that is the Stars content that they lost a couple of years ago. I still use the DVD by mail service because thanks to consumer protection laws that don't exist for streaming services they can offer nearly everything on DVD. However, even that has issues, as DVDs go out of print and then Netflix's copies eventually attrition away to nothing from accumulated shipping damage.

I knew the content companies would be dicks with the licensing. It's inevitable. Streaming is so damn cheap compared to manufacturing disks and setting up distribution channels and everything that it's inevitable the companies would want to cut out the middle man. Plus they want to be able to charge a lot more money for the content, and you can't do that if it's on Netflix. Streaming laws were written by the big corporate incumbents to protect their revenue streams. They can not stand anything like the first sale doctrine disaster to be repeated on goods that are made out of bits instead of plastic.
At least with Google, you're paying for their transparent migration feature, which does make isolated hardware failures go away.

What harsh comments about a person that is just asking for a warning. Tell me, do you really think such a warning wouldn't be reasonable?

I do agree with the author that it would be better if C coerced the operators into the result type before the calculation instead of after. I would really like a warning when there's an implicit coercion at the end of a calculation.

Ironically in simultaneous parallel to the 200 years of economic literature we have explaining why it isn't like that, we have 200 years of recorded history explaining why it is like that. When scientific theory and facts come into a disagreement, theory walks away defeated. But when economic theory and facts come into a disagreement, the opposite occurs -- the facts must be reinterpreted properly to fit the theory, of course, so economists may continue on as highly educated cheerleaders for wealthy capitalists. Oligopoly and collusion is nothing more than a succinct description of actual economic history.
So in ancient Greece if you wanted to do a business with olives and olive oil you needed a state to grant you a license and collect taxes? Really?

Nice to see all the reference to Perl moduel documentation. That ecosystem is hands-down the best I've ever seen!
Of course not, it's just an example of how the political decisions once made and applied distort the whole public perception of some issues for years to come.

The claim of "Iran funding terrorism" is in fact due to its recent (as in decades) support of Sunni Hammas, which is the most direct threat to Israel, and which started as a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot financed also by the Saudis.

Fascinatingly, Islamic Hammas was also once seen by Israel as the "potentially better" than less religious PLO and Israel even indirectly supported it, almost like the "moderate" Islamic rebels are still supported by the US.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123275572295011847

Time and again it turns out that every "Islamic" group will eventually turn against the West. Those that support them don't understand the basic tenets of the religion behind.

> I would suspect the creators of this service will feel that same pressure soon.

The service has been running for eight or so years now, and the safeguards against this have worked pretty well, but yeah, every change is a chance for something to go wrong. I have extensive tests for the sending code and the logic to check whether it's time to send, though.
For the firmware engineer, are you only interested in ARM experience, or would experience with other architectures be fine? I worked for one of your competitors based in Richardson about 9 years ago.
Even Karl Marx had more arguments when stating something, you have absolutely none - just statements. This is not a discussion, it is propaganda.
Could it be that you are still just new to it (in the grand scheme of things)?

Because all of those things sound very similar to the complaints I hear from web developers on their first foray into desktop development.

There are so many tools it's impossible to know them all (or to even know which one is best to use in which situation), so much legacy code out there it's tough to learn what the "right" way to do things is, it often feels like you are fighting the OS or the language to get what you want how you want it, and dependencies are hard.

Application development is hard, and is still far from "solved". And while the "web stack" is far from perfect, I'm personally significantly more productive in it than I ever was in anything else. And in my experience that extra productivity makes better applications because I spend less time just trying to get it working, and more time getting it working well.
While CRISPR is an incredible technology with plenty of current exposure, the Nobel Prize in Medicine tends to move slowly; often discoveries that first debuted 20 years ago are only finally recognized. CRISPR will have its day in the Nobel sun, but unlikely in this decade.

Redis Cache:

A small project that provides function level caching in Python with Redis (currently only Redis but looking to add more backends).

Work has stagnated in the past few months, but there a few issues and ideas that need to be hashed out (cache invalidation, multiple backends, Django built in support, etc). Basically the project is at POC level and can be taken in many directions.

It's written in Python, and interfaces directly with Redis.

Why would you have to reboot your computer if an app is failing? I don't think I've had to do this since running Windows 2000..
Yes and no. You can argue that genetics of autophagy are fundamental but it is clear that the prize is being given in recognition of the fact that this led to better understanding of neurodegenerative disorders and so on. For better or worse, the Nobel doesn't really go to discoveries that don't have applications somehow.
Except it's not. Autophagy as a process happens at the cellular level but the whole reason it's important is because it has emergent ramifications for the entire living organism, impacting on metabolism, senescence, carcinogenesis and a number of other endpoints that operate at organismal scale. Your characterisation of this as "fundamental biology" obscures this emergence.

Appropriateness aside, I think the real reason we don't have a Nobel for Biology is probably a result of the fact that Alfred Nobel cared more about the pursuit of knowledge for the betterment of the human condition, rather than for its own sake. I imagine he learned the limitations of the latter approach the hard way through personal experience considering his most (in)famous invention...

> Graeber's biggest point is that even when he talks to people and asks them if their job is valuable, and they should know better than anyone else, they often say 'no, not really.'

I don't think that's really true, especially in a big corporation. Transparency of the value pipeline in such institutions isn't great at any level, and big corps (and similar large institution -- government often has the same problem, for instance) have a tendency toward not making even the concept of the value stream that justifies the position known to the people working in it much of the time. Its quite likely that the people working a position don't understand how its supposed to deliver value (and are in a poor position to see the big picture of whether it does), while the people who do know how it is supposed to deliver value don't see the small picture of what actually goes on (and thus are in a poor position to evaluate whether it does deliver the value it is supposed to.)

There's no particular reason to think the people working in the position are in the best position to evaluate value delivery (or that even the people in the best position, whoever they might be, are better at answering the question than a Magic 8-ball.)
> "... the reason why there's so much churn is because smart, inventive people are constantly finding better ways to do things."
