US spends over $8,000 per capita on healthcare, compared to about $4,000 in UK and Japan, both of which have universal health care.

This isn't a problem tech can solve. It's a problem only politics can solve.
You are probably right about enforceability.

As a thought experiment one could imagine other enforceable variations, however - displaying on Facebook/Twitter/Tinder/etc whether you are a social benefactor or parasite, for example.
My last experience with Rackspace was I think emblematic of their new direction.

They got into doing AWS consulting and sold the startup I was working for an AWS setup that was about 100x too large and overengineered for their static site.

Prior, I had used them for a number of projects and always found them to be professional and helpful. I think the old Rackspace is gone.

Disagree with rolling out a product EU first or disagree that companies need the American healthcare industry to become profitable?

I can't go too much into the product, but there is a solid strategy behind the rollout.

And of course it's easier to be profitable in the US, there is a gravy train of money in healthcare here. While great for healthcare companies, it is AWFUL for consumers.

With respect to the initial comment I replied to, everyone (ie government officials and business owners) claims that changing the US healthcare industry will decimate innovation and every pharma/medical device/etc company will utterly fail!

I've been in this industry less than a decade and have experienced this rhetoric often whenever certain bills come up at the federal and state levels. Everyone freaks out! And then the bill passes....and everything is fine. We just have to innovate a little more, which is a great thing for the consumer!

> I would argue that the Catholic church (big "C", as opposed to the various catholic structures and practices found in many non-Catholic denominations) has larded up their religion to the point that it's barely recognizable as christianity.

You probably mean the Roman Catholic Church (the usual particular name for the Church composed of 24 sui iuris particular churches united by various unifying factors, including recognizing the Bishop of Rome—the same one that is head of state of Vatican City—as head of the church.)

Big-C Catholic is a bad descriptor for that, because there are quite a lot of big-C Catholic Churches which are not in union with Rome, and have varying degrees of dissimilarity in theology, ritual, and law when compared to the Roman Catholic Church.

> The idols (incendiary term, I know), the various levels of hell, the duties and bribes to church officials in return for forgiveness.

Aside from the false bit about idols, you've mentioned, in order, a feature of a popular work of medieval literature that has never been a matter of Catholic doctrine, and what seems (though it's hard to tell what specifically it intends to refer to) to be a oblique reference to a combination of abusive practices and erroneous (compared to the official doctrine) teachings about indulgences that were frequently criticized by Church leaders prior to Luther and fairly definitively addressed in and shortly after the Council of Trent.

> I know nothing about the Orthodox churches.

The same appears to be true of the Roman Catholic Church.
A year or two ago, on a weekend, I wrote some XSLT to transform old-school Pages'08 documents to html. But I don't make a habit of working with XSLT.
I wouldn't say it's not unworkable, but you are correct, it'd be simple and it's something that most people could understand. No "death panel" discussions.
My takeaway/learning is that "knots indicated airspeed" is a measure of pressure due to the aircraft mushing its way through the atmosphere, and is vaguely in proportion to actual_airspeed * altitude, and from my non-pilot's perspective ought to be expressed in bars or torr or something else meant for pressure and not velocity or distance.
The standard in question is still "one of the standards" (and a "me too" one, "the one to end all the previous standards" (1) as far as I see it) not the standard.

Remember claims of Flash being the necessary thing on the mobile web, and efficient too? It turned out it was never true.

Note there's still no web version of "pure" Vulkan. If it gets to be modified to be less "ridiculously low level" in its web variant, it is anyway going to come closer to the goal Apple proposes for the web.

Again, to quote from the Apples proposal: "We don’t expect this to become the actual API that ends up in the standard, and maybe not even the one that the Community Group decides to start with, but we think there is a lot of value in working code. Other browser engines have made their own similar prototypes. It will be exciting to collaborate with the community and come up with a great new technology for graphics."

Vulkan isn't designed for adversarial input. The web language has to be. That alone is likely to require a ground-up redesign.

You sound wrong.

Reread your comment and look at the price of bitcoin. Perhaps your inference is upside down.
The answer might be as simple as "people tend to work on games on the weekend", either as hobby projects or that professional game developers work weekends more often, skewing the weekend results away from serious enterprise apps. This would explain both the rise in low level languages but also things like OpenGL, Unity3D and Actionscript 3. It doesn't explain Haskell, of course, but I think the Haskell explanation in the article is accurate.
I'm glad that other folks think this is important too.

Stay tuned on twitter/medium. That python library also supports a viewabledict (for key-value mappings). I've got an experimental compiler which starts with an AST (stored as a tree of these maps), and then chains type checking and code generation off that to make incrementally updating binaries. Just supporting a toy language to start, but it will make a nice demo I think!
It's even more ridiculous for a telco CSR to transfer his number to another provider without doing any sort of proper validation beforehand. A simple callback to ensure that the person calling was indeed the owner of the number would have prevented all of this.
Not true, Vulcan drivers are included in drivers of the GPU manufacturer.
Yes, it is definitely a possibility, that we could refactor the whole system and eliminate patents and set up a completely new model for drug development to work. That would affect a lot of stakeholders and be complicated politically, but yes, it's one route to take.

He made the supposedly controversial speech in September 2015 [0]. In October he was on TV4 [1]. In December he was on the news on SVT [2] and had his own "talk about whatever you want" radio episodes on SR [3] (both state media). He was on TV4 again in May of 2016 [4]. During 2016 he was mentioned over 100 times by the nation wide newspapers [5]. I'm sure you can find a lot more if you just look.

For Windows I install a graphics driver by the GPU maker and get Vulkan support (according to wikipedia that is the case for Nvidia, AMD and Intel), since Windows allows drivers to offer such APIs without any specific support by Microsoft. With a Mac all the drivers come via Apple, without support for it.
With AWS/Google, you don't have to worry about hardware and OS, that's the entire point of the cloud. You are more focused on your apps, of course it costs a bit more, but hopefully you save it by not having to deal with hardware or OS issues.

"Picking up the basics of a language is easy, but it's knowing the nuisance that separates the professional from the amateur."

From learning perspective correct. I don't think developers chase new languages, I think it's more, play 'catch up to latest language' to be more employable. You would hope companies, CTOs, lead techs choose languages to solve the unique business problems. Language choice looks more, to me, like taste. Like choosing something ^nice^ from a menu at a restaurant depending on what is palatable.
You should add some facts to your post to make it more interesting. What are you exactly writing about?
I think 3D web standards are going to take off in spite of Apple. Apple might even end up supporting Vulkan as a result.

That would be a really great outcome for consumers (including Apple users) and developers and only not so great for Apple and its lock-in strategy. Seems like a net positive.
The name doesn't help with that but I think renaming it would be a huge time sink for our customers, users, and ourselves.
Haha, since Subversion was born in the height of XML frenzy, they figured it was a good idea for the built-in web interface to just output XML and a default XSLT. That way if anyone wanted to customize it, they could do so to their heart's content by just specifying a different XSLT.

I loved Subversion at the time, and so created the TortoiseSVN Menu plugin [1] for Firefox, and an accompanying XSLT to add lots of rich info and styling into the main UI.

It's something that should have been pretty simple but I remember spending lots of my free time back then to get it just right. Funny thing is, since I worked on it at home but mostly used it at work, I really could have used a good distributed VCS at the time :D

This is roughly what we're doing. Ansible to manage specific containers on hosts. It works quite well, and with some IP tables shenanigans we have a lot of power over how we roll new containers out.
This service is based on Fedex's acquisition of Genco, in December 2014. Genco is a 3rd party logistics services company, offering a of logistic services:from the standard warehousing an fulfillment(including 130 warehouses), to being somewhat of an industry leader at handling returns(and e-commerce has a relatively high rate of returns, especially in fashion), to testing and repairing stuff, and than reselling those.

At that time, Fedex also bought a software company that helps other retailers with complex stuff like customs handling.

Maybe a total framework to handle all the physical and regulatory stuff and e-commerce play might need. The stuff that enables Amazon to have such a large selection, and the stuff that enables it to be so good at customer service. And that may have been what triggered Amazon to attack Fedex.

Indicated airspeed, as sibling comments point out, is not true airspeed. The air is moving at 500 but the stagnation pressure is the same as if it were moving only 300 at sea level so the indicated speed will be 300 +- calibration errors.

I was going to comment on this as well. As someone who worked in AS3 heavily but left it years ago, i wonder the cause of this. My guess is not that adoption is increasing, but instead that the expertise has long since evacuated the field, leaving people who work in AS3 hard-pressed to find answers within their departments.
Not sure if that's relevant.

And may I suggest if you are vegan and want to adopt an animal companion, consider a rabbit (a bonded pair if you can). They are wonderful loving creatures who will cuddle next to you while you sit on the couch, and their diet is naturally 100% plant-based. They make a perfect DINK pet too since they sleep during the workday. Unfortunately many end up in shelters after someone's kids grow tired of them.

> regular old ajax/DOM manipulation

Yes, exactly. There's no way to do this on the server, so anything you do with DOM will be split in to separate server and client side worlds.

For example, https://github.com/git/git/compare/master...next will show you "base: master, compare: next" when you load it. But I can use the dropdown + autocomplete to update that value.

That value is set both on page load, and also (justifiably, IMO) dynamically. Multiply that by a hundred bespoke things and you yearn for less server client spaghetti.

I think it's more that it's poorly legally defined (I'm not a lawyer).

By default copyright grants you five rights which I think last until 75 years after you die (90 for contract work if I remember correctly) [1].

- The right to reproduce the copyrighted work

- The right to prepare derivative works based upon the work

- The right to distribute copies of the work to the public

- The right to perform the copyrighted work publicly

- The right to display the copyrighted work publicly

I think the creative commons license exists to give explicit perpetual and irrevocable access to these five rights - public domain is work where the copyright has expired or was done by a public organization like the government. It's my understanding loosely saying 'I release this as public domain' doesn't give as much of a guarantee since it's not possible to give up your copyright that way - you could later argue you thought public domain meant something different.

It didn't used to be this way in the US. Copyright was retroactively extended and made default (you used to have to register to get its protection). It was originally intended to 'promote the progress of science and useful arts' with limited time monopolies as the means to do so for the public benefit. It was meant as a incentive to create - the retroactive extension doesn't follow in this context since work that already exists didn't need incentive to be created. You could also argue that it's unlikely you'd need the rights after you're dead. Today it hurts the public more than it helps.

With respect to any particular objective definition of trolling, there may exist perfect snowflake comments that are not trolling but are identified as such by the definition.

There exist plenty of definitions that can be imagined which make the above snowflakes very rare in practice.

If the beholder argument is that the existence of a single such snowflake invalidates the possibility that useful objectivity can be used to study the concept of trolling -- then the claim is ludicrous. We can study the notion of trolling without getting every single label right every time.
> They've reimagined the company as providing support on third-party platforms, namely AWS and Azure

To be fair, Rackspace's market cap was only about 4 billion at time of acquisition. They don't really have the capital to get into a war with Amazon, Google, or Microsoft, when data centers cost hundreds of millions/billions to build.

The economies of scale they're fighting against are gigantic, so it makes sense to go towards supporting the clouds of other companies rather than building out their own bare metal.
I get the feeling that some pieces of software constitute 100% billable / work time. Sharepoint would probably be pretty high on that list. I do confess to studying BizTalk Orchestrations on my own time, but that was for research into the area not the product specifically.
Not the OP, but a guess: A lot of RAID cards will switch from writeback mode to writethrough when the battery is low, because they can't guarantee that the (battery-backed) cache will persist across a power failure. Writethrough mode makes writes significantly slower, which could cause problems higher up the stack.
Controls laws on an Airplane is an extremely tricky subject and there is no real consensus as to how to deal with conflicting inputs.
I think it is a brave decision which might affect the current users of Fleet for a while but will prove to be a good for the community overall.

If you think from a new comers perspective who is actually getting started with container orchestration he/she does a lot of research to choose a framework/tool and if you provide them with a lot of suboptimal solutions it doesn't really help (I do not mean Fleet is suboptimal but k8 is already close to become a standard). It is always better to have one or two standard solutions for a particular problem. Parallels can be drawn from the javascript world where we have this influx of libraries, frameworks and tooling which only does few things differently than others but this has led a lot of confusion specially among beginners and instead to thinking deeply about core concepts people are often seen chasing the new shiny frameworks.
I would guess it's for recreational stuff like animation and games.
They only expire because of an overwhelming public interest. Otherwise the very idea of them being property that can be created, bought, and sold would allow their owners the same rights as other property owners. They can expire your novel because it's useful (hopefully) to culture, but they can't expire your physical book except under exceptional circumstances.
Let's start with this... If you ran your own server, what sort of uses do you think you'd have for it?
"I've had issues with GCP where site is down and it's taken 1+ days to hear back from someone.
Maybe there was a way to escalate it, but it wasn't readily evident."

In the end someone has a pager, a machine and an editor. In ye-old-days this problem was in-house with a COLO machine. That's the reasoning behind uptime. 99%/year is 361 and just over half a day. Can you loose two and a half days at christmas? (web commerce) or the same time on a new product release? (SaaS) or 2.5 days development time at a critical bug fix with your customers?

The bad stuff always happens at the worst time. The market is saying, ^cloud^ but the tradeoff is ^service^. I don't know the answer(s).
I volunteer at an animal shelter and sometimes see cats that have neurological problems or have lost a limb or an eye. I always admire how little this seems to matter to them. They don't get depressed or sad, they just carry on playing even if they are so wobbly they can barely stand or so hobbled they have to awkwardly hop everywhere.
I'm in the middle of Death and Life right now. I'm enjoying it for sure, and I find myself nodding my head at a lot of what she says, particularly stuff about border vacuums and mixed-usage areas, both of which have figured into my own past decisions about where to live.

One thing I do find lacking is a discussion of assessing tradeoffs, particularly when her design principles bump up against natural pressures (i.e. driven by the market, not by fiat city planners). For example, she advocates a mix of new and old city buildings. Enforcing this may generate housing and office shortages, if a neighborhood becomes attractive at a rate exceeding that which we can maintain the desired old-new mix. How do we trade that off; at what price do we value incremental old-new mix?

She does cover some of this in her chapter on self-destruction of diversity, but her solution of zoning for diversity was a little tautological for me, just stating that diversity should be enforced. What I'm interested in is how we weigh that against the lost utility of individuals and businesses who would prefer to move to the neighborhood in question.

It's definitely a tough question! While I'd prefer some more head-on discussion of tradeoffs, I think (unfortunately, decades later) that there's still plenty of room for the ideas she advocates to be recognized at all.
Oh stop it, we love to think of ourselves as special. Programming is simple, so simple factory workers can do it. With the right training, it's not complicated, I'm talking about the type of programming that happens in most places too, it's nothing more but digital factories, CRUD, gluing together framework, libraries, the DB, a queue, email, config files, very few original code. Very few people implement amazing novel algorithms & data structures in new projects.
