> I sincerely doubt that primitive human tribes widely tolerated healthy adults who contributed absolutely nothing to the group.

It's certainly not hard to imagine that no, they would not have tolerated such behavior. But does this mean that you are suggesting the members of this tribe convened and decided to put rules in place to define a member's behavior and potentially institute punishment if these rules were broken? That sounds suspiciously like a society. It's almost as if the larger population felt that attempting to hinder a particular perceived flaw in human nature was a net positive for the group as a whole.

The existence of cooperation or the desire to cooperate does not disprove that cheating and lying are embedded instincts in living beings. Cheating and cooperation are not mutually exclusive concepts. The parent comment was suggesting that we are somehow evolving to lie and cheat and I'm suggesting that we have been more than capable of this behavior all along. In fact, I've gone so far as to say that not only were we immediately capable since the dawn of humankind, but we have actively suppressed these "survival skills" because they are deemed bad qualities.

> Is "productivity" really the only measure of job satisfaction?

Productivity is a side effect of good employees working in a good environment. Programmers aren't satisfied because they're productive; they're productive because they're satisfied.
That's interesting and kinda important evidence that it's more about credit card and some devices.
> Some of us disagree violently with that FAQ's discussion of the OOM killer and strict overcommit.

Agreed. Android for example has made major architectural changes due to not having swap. I wasn't around during the early days, and by no means an expert, but it looks to me like the following decisions were made:

1. No swapping, flash at the time was very slow, limited in capacity, and still has limited lifetime. Introduce OOM killer. [0]

2. SysV semaphores and shared memory can leak when killing a process. [1][2] It looks like these have since been added to bionic (Android's libc). [3]

3. Introduce The Binder kernel driver for IPC instead. The Binder handles reference counting, and can do neat things like death notifications. [4]

4. Introduce ashmem for shared memory. [5]

I believe the fork() manpage (or at least the clone() manpage) actually mentions this.
The blog post request is to make it clear that his account was linked to an account engaged in fraudulent activity. Apple wanted him to post it because it would make clear that he opened both developer accounts with his credit card, even if he eventually lost control of one.

If you open developer accounts that eventually engage in fraudulent activity you're not "owed" an apology. You should be on top of the things you open in your name and with your bank details.

Apple should have taken steps to notify all linked accounts. That's their mistake. But it was the developer's mistake to open an account for someone who would engage in fraud in the first place.

"There are perennial claims that consumers don't want privacy"

There's perennial evidence that consumers won't act toward privacy except outside of very, narrow constraints. You're analysis of Instagram to Snapchat is correct. Yet, with the carrot of ephemeral messaging, they went to a centralized service who could keep all their stuff to sell to whoever with no security or assurances in the whole process. Similar with WhatApp in terms of assurances. That's the best we're seeing. Whereas, the usable, truly-private apps that jump into any of these markets get virtually no adoption.

What you're seeing is the power of marketing rather than delivering privacy. Two very different things. Kind of like how many juices market themselves as healthy and natural while actually being a pile of sugar that might harm you if you consume enough. But people drink that 100% juice kool-aid. We've also seen where that went in the corporate space where virtually nothing is actually secure despite marketing claims and the fact that corporations try to hire people that can make an informed decision about that.

Definitely money to be made pressing that button of "ephemeral" on devices that couldn't be that if you tried. Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence for those of us pushing or developing actual offerings that are secure or private. I think more can be done and even maybe widespread but the evidence indicates market will always be dominated by scheming oligopolies of evil companies pretending to protect people with their offerings. Because people don't do better as users or buyers.
At least he did not use the same name. The two accounts use different names, otherwise apple would mention it because it's a huge evidence that the accounts are linked :)
Agreed with everything except the last sentence, which I do not understand. Why shouldn't WordPress include authorization and signup? Are there higher quality PHP facilities for it or what?
Why are you equating Apple's willingness reinstate his account with an admission that there was no wrongdoing?

The wrongdoing here is that he opened multiple accounts that could legally be linked to him and allowed one of them to be used to defraud the App Store. Apple could see that as wrongdoing while being sympathetic to his story that he forgot about it / lost control of it and so allow him to reinstate his account.
The gist of this point is the debate around banning guns from people on the terrorist watch list. One side insists that if they are bad enough to watch, we shouldn't let them buy guns (this is Apples stance that since our arbitrary system linked them, that suddenly makes him guilty.) and the people on the other side, insist that since there is no due process to being added to the terrorist watch list, it is a way to bypass a constitutional right (which is a valid point, whats to stop the government from arbitrarily adding people to these lists and stopping them from buying guns.

Regardless of which side of the argument you lean towards, they can both legitimately believe they are 100% in the right.
Listening to the recording, the whole thing was basically over. Apple just wanted him to explain what happened and then they'd reinstate him, i. e. "I registered an account for someone else and when that account was involved in faking reviews, it was still tied to my credit card & name."

They only wanted this because he chose to get everyone riled up about the perceived injustice, and it's causing Apple a PR headache. It could have been avoided if he had chosen to resolve this in private, or at least went with a bit more ambiguity instead of indignation.

...But I really don't get why this didn't end with the phone call. Write a post, be done with it. Instead, he's trying to escalate it further, breaking California law by publishing the phone call and making it basically impossible for Apple to accommodate him. Considering this is his livelihood, this post is a tragic mistake.

Funny thing is that everyone seems to have agreed on a story... "My cousin did it". It seems quite natural that when that account is used for spam, it comes back to him. considering his credit card was the only ID that had been verified.
Are the benefits attributable to caffeine? I think they've all been linked to coffee specifically, and there may be other agents in coffee other than the caffeine that are responsible.
You need to keep in mind that Li-ion does not describe just one type of battery it describes the specific method by which a battery operates (intercalation of Li Ions). There is continuous experimentation to improve the performance.

Additionally the materials which make up the battery can vary. The cathode of a Li-Ion battery is typically some type of lithium intermetallic compound (typically Lithium-Cobolt based) and the anode can vary (from simple graphite to intermetallic compounds to more exotic things like Sn nano-particles, polymers etc).

In 2010 my undergraduate thesis in materials engineering was on developing a prototype anode made from graphene dispersed Tin-Cobolt nanoparticles. This was back when graphene was first discovered and was being pretty widely hyped as a 'wonder material'. It was hoped that by dispersing the metal particles in graphene matrix we could better accommodate the mechanical stresses that come from cycling the battery (when you intercalate and deintercalate Li ions there is a volume expansion and subsequent contraction - this is what causes battery to degrade after charge/discharge cycles). Results were mostly inconclusive largely due to unreliability of synthesis technique we used for manufacturing graphene - Electrostatic Spray reductive Precipitation (ESRP).

But yes Undergraduates are messing around with Li-Ion technology its not surprising corporations are too.

Listen folks - it's still a fantasy. Latency is still 5s on many requests = no deal.

This has been going on for years.

Would someone form AMZ please stand up?

I suggest that the latency is 5s for the 'first call', then, subsequent calls are fast - and if you don't use your lambda for a minute or so, it goes back to having latency.

I suggest maybe this has something to do with loading it into memory when it's used?

There must be a way to keep the lambdas 'hot' or else it will never really get used for anything but background tasks.
> he opened multiple accounts

You got your facts wrong. He did not do that.
I think acloud.guru is served through lambda. I think if you go the single page app route with S3 + cloudfront CDN + API gateway + lambda (so many words/things) you can deliver a really high quality product. You can also cache responses out via elasticache. It's not perfect but the development velocity and potential is really exciting.
Also, how long can this possibly be centrally hosted before questions of business model come into play? This seems like something that will go dark in a year tops.

I wonder what this actually amounts to at the code level. Is it even possible to predict accident outcomes reliably? If not, the trolley problem isn't even relevant and there is no need to decide.

Given that they are planning to reduce accidents by 99%, it seems like political suicide to even take a position about the few remaining cases. I know this is counterintuitive, but I wonder if it would appear more fair for the car to decide randomly in those cases.

You break the entire model of an oversubscribed multi-tenant container system if you want every lambda hot all the time.

If that's what you need...you need a server.
I think when you sign-up, and the only ID they get is your credit card, it's pretty obvious that the account will be linked to you.

From the call, it appears that Apple only wanted a clarification in that direction, i. e. "I should not have given my drunk little brother the car keys".

They're not reacting from a "bruised ego", since a professional PR team doesn't get emotional in that sense.

They feel that the initial accusations have created actual damage for Apple's image, and they want him to stop the pitchfork-wielding mob.
I'm a Rails developer too. I always use Turbolink for everything with jQuery. If the app requires mobile and web, I'll just work on the rest api on rails. The client site will be another app. This way doesn't mix ugly js files with rails files.

What you need is Vue.js. Other frameworks are waste of time. Angular 2 is complex and slow. React has it's own drama(jsx, react router).
I agree. Can't remember the source but the best advice I read once was actually to not have your hands on your keyboard when you first think about a problem. First action is sit and think about it. If that's in a park, on your bed, or staring like a zombie is AL up to you. As long as you don't do anything else.

This would require a (semi-)quiet space. After you can find the people you need to discuss the things you came up with
Both sides agree with the facts of the case:

- Developer used his credit card to enrol in multiple accounts

- Developer had same test devices on both accounts

- One account engaged in fraud

- One account was notified of fraud

Apple's request is that the developer make these facts known and have his account reinstated. Because Apple doesn't want to be seen as arbitrarily shutting down developer accounts — they have reason in this case and want it known.

It seems like Apple was sympathetic to the claim that the developer lost control of / forgot about the account which had the fraudulent activity. But also wanted to be seen as having a reason for pulling Dash in the first place.

They weren't asking the dev to admit to fraud. They were asking him to admit to opening multiple developer accounts and losing control of one. Which both sides acknowledge he did. I'm not sure I understand why the developer thinks this would be an admission of wrongdoing on his part (unless the wrongdoing was opening multiple accounts and giving them to untrustworthy people, which he did).

You could have cloud watch run the function every minute? Again, that won't guarantee that your function will be "hot". But it's a quick hack to potentially reduce the frequency of your slow initial start.

This. The reality is that no one will buy a self driving car that leans towards killing them over pedestrians.
Then they should have called it the Affordable insurance act.
Sorry for the late reply, but I didn't mean to imply anything about an inside job or other conspiracy theory. My point was that a sure-fire way to affect a politician is to kill them. Everything else is a "this might work..." proposition. I prefer absolutes.

I see how my comment could have been misinterpreted by so many people in hindsight. Sometimes I look at things through a very specific-to-my-experience lens. In another life, myself and squadmates(think coworkers) would get orders such as "Cleric(foreign equivalent of mayor/publicly-supported-bad-actor) <John Doe> and all his/her supporters are threats and should be neutralized". That didn't mean we should protest their policies or otherwise attempt to subvert them...those aren't guaranteed solutions. The finality of killing is a guaranteed solution. If they become a martyr and create even more undesirables through their demise...don't despair - just accept that the list of undesirables has grown and await the very predictable orders. It's tried, true, and only protested until the protester's name joins the list and is subsequently checked off.
It's not that simple. She has been around a long time and even though she isn't a manager, seniority goes a long way at my company. My manager has mentioned it to her, but realistically that's as far as he can take it.
His son is meant to take over. There's some issues with it happening. It's being discussed during World Service discussion of Note 7. Doesn't seem to be likely to affect the battery/combustion issue, but is affecting the conglomerate overall. They didn't go into enough detail so that's all I can add.

Batteries were switched from 70% Samsung subsidiary SDI, 30% Amperex to mostly Amperex (TDK) for the replacement. TDK shares are now suffering too.
That really funny because I'm a developer attached to global sales at my company ;-)
Interesting regarding incentivization:

Definitely interesting ideas which have not completely caught on in industry or government regulation.
It will be interesting to see the first time a car manufacturer gets sued for negligent homicide. The occupants of the car _can_ agree to a TOS that says the car will do its best to avoid killing pedestrians -- the pedestrians of course cannot (and why would they?) agree to said TOS. So from a liability perspective, I can't see this policy lasting long.
I don't think so.

> But how often does that occur? And is it worth the economic cost of not having doctors available, or doctors overworked? Individual human life is cheap.

As someone currently in medical school, I'm going to have to agree w/ the previous comment that often "simple" cases are not so simple. For dealing with something as simple as diarrhea, you have to understand the anatomy of the GI tract, the physiology of nutrient absorption, pathophysiology of different diseases, important details about infectious causes (i.e. toxins, mech of transmission, etc.), labs, clinical presentation, associated phys/pathophys like neurological, immunological, and hematological features, associated symptoms, common patient histories, drugs and their mechanisms of actions, etc. etc. etc. The sheer volume of knowledge that you need to know and how everything fits together is something I hadn't realized before coming to med school. Plus, you have to learn clinical skills like how to take a patient history, do a physical exam, etc. all of which is only for treatment of diarrhea. Now imagine learning all of this for topics as wide ranging as all the different cancers, heart failure, emphysema, diabetes, all the different congenital defects, etc. You also have to know how to read radiology, how to intubate, draw blood, perform disease-specific tests, maybe learn how to do surgery, etc. Anyway, the point is it takes a lot of skills and concepts for a fully trained doctor to work up simple things.

At the very least he allowed his credit card to be used in the enrolling of multiple accounts. We don't actually know whether he went through the sign up procedure for both accounts — he very well may have, you don't know either.

But in either case, Apple may have viewed this as the wrongdoing.

So the same question applies to you: why are you equating Apple's willingness to reinstate his account with an admission that there was no wrongdoing?
