Crohn's Disease is one of those things where, if you do not suffer from it personally, you have absolutely no business telling someone who does what they may or may not do to treat it - or rather its symptoms. I have a friend with Crohn's, and based on his reserved description (not far past PG-13) as to what he goes through on a daily basis, I would not DARE tell him that he cannot use marijuana, opioids, or anything else. I don't care what he needs to help him get through his day; he deserves quite literally anything that chemistry has to offer that he is willing to take. Nobody - absolutely nobody - has the right tell him differently.

People are ignorant and frankly downright... disgusting/pathetic/opinionated (I can't find the words to describe how far beyond unacceptable some people's positions are)... with their attempts to regulate others, when it comes to issues that do not affect them personally. If you don't have a clue, shut your mouth and let those who have to deal with the situation dictate for themselves how they will manage or cope.

How big were the error bounds on the predictions? These things tend to be +-5 or 10%-points, considering the statistical model is even sound, which it is only assumed to be "approximately" however much uncertainty that adds.

Do you have any articles where the statisticians analyze what happened?
Are you sure? Have you used appengine or any of their cloud libraries? Just found out that some of the services I wrote 3 years ago don't work anymore due various breaking changes. It also very much applies to cloud services themselves! What happened to the email service(appengine powered)?I'm telling you: it no longer exists! Compare that with AWS SES which gets better and better. I could go on and on all day long. Google cloud is nice on paper but fails in practice. If you consider the lock-in it is not worth it on paper either
Being an ass hole is sometimes an effective form of leadership. This event may be a datapoint FOR keeping him as a leader.

You also incidentally hit upon the reason why it's been marginalized by industry for so long -- it represents a huge dent in profits. Whenever something seems awry, a good question to ask is, cui bono (who benefits)?
> Beyond that, using a card would force users to attach a real identity to their account, even if it's not public. A lot of people wouldn't like the idea of that.

I think the majority of consumers have zero issues with it. And the people who do and ALSO care about identity/anonymity definitely could just get some pre-paid card.
I'm Australian, and after hearing Stewart say that, I thought back on my own experiences. The only time I can recall it being used in a somewhat truthful manner is in an angry parental warning "Believe me, you're going to suffer if you continue that way" - some sort of threat that the person in question can carry out. Every other time, it's been bluster with no substance.

I mean seriously, if you throw out the question "Okay, who dropped the production database?" and one of the staff said "It wasn't me. Believe me!", that's kind of instant suspicion right there. It's a really weird thing to say in the contexts that Trump says it in.

> you say that's a negative?

Yes, I perceive that as negative compared to someone who did not exhibit that mistake. I'm not saying that's a no-hire or an extreme negative. I'm trying to communicate that is an indicator of a possible issue, that means it needs to be looked at further to see if there's a pattern of misreading body language.

> Once you've committed a crime, even a serious crime, you should be unemployable and starve on the street? It's a serious question.

I understand and respect the question you've asked. I want to make sure we separate genuinely serious crimes like murder/rape from crimes that are perceived as serious but in my subjective opinion are harmless like drug use. If someone had been convicted of using or even selling cannabis, I would not perceive that as a negative. If someone had been convicted of murder, I would perceive that as unemployable in my team. The reason being is that I could not consider exposing my team to that risk. I can see that even here, there's some gray areas. For example, if the murder was in self-defense or an act of revenge, and there had been a long period of healthy behavior, then perhaps this could be mitigating factors. I would not want anyone to be unemployable or to starve. There are jobs that are less team oriented that might be suitable, or where the risk can be more tightly controlled.
TRY NEW THINGS!!!

There are lots of ideas in this thread that are worth trying out. However, despite being an early adopter, I have not once re-tried twitter after my first attempt as there have never been any compelling reasons to. Everyone hates on Google for shutting down failed products, but it is way better to try and fail than sit on the product you have.

I'll quote Walter Isaacson's book on what Steve Jobs said: One of Jobs's business rules was to never be afraid of cannibalizing yourself. "If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will," he said. So even though an iPhone might cannibalize the sales of an iPod, or an iPad might cannibalize the sales of a laptop, that did not deter him.

Yeah but at this point how are you going to be able to know what to ask? If you have someone who's a better algo ninja such that they can do a whiteboard interview on the things that matter, then have them write your solution.

If you don't, either look for someone who's done something like your problem before, and ask about resume/experience instead of whiteboard gauntlets. Or acknowledge that it's a research&implement position, and... again, skip the gauntlet.
IIRC, there were two traits that don't seem to change over the course of one's life: gregariousness, and level of anxiety.

Traits other than those two can change. Classic example: an alcoholic who becomes sober.

I hate to digress from this topic, so I won't in depth, but this whole "good tree, bad tree" philosophy is central to protestant theology and has had an impact on Western culture, while it is often not true, in my opinion.

This is also problematic in a digital store. Imagine someone from USA coming to Asia to buy a book, and they refuse to sell it, or require to charge more based on the citizenship and so on. It sounds ridiculous, but that's what happens in digital now both with regional pricing, and geoblocking. In short, applying physical geo based logic in the digital space can lead to unethical and ugly results, because of its non physical nature.
I feel the same way you do. I couldn't find a commercial product that I liked. I'm on OS X, and I made an encrypted disk image that holds a plain text file with login credentials and important numbers/info. I made a couple AppleScript scripts that will open the file upon entering the decryption password, and then automatically dismount the disk after a certain amount of time (because I often forget to). I backup my password file by periodically emailing the encrypted container to myself.

It's not sexy or slick, but it works for me.

It's really the other way around. Sports channels can't pack 24 hours of interesting content and are rapidly dying. ESPN has been crying for years now that they're dying a slow pitiful death. Sports fans don't want access to all sports, don't even want access to their sports, they want access just to the specific games they want to watch or think are important. Sports commentary outside of games just isn't compelling enough TV for casual sports fans to really watch and most of it is variations on "this season team <x> will work harder and not let other teams beat them" with archetypes of rebuilding, can-they-hold-onto-the-magic, underdog-story-of-the-season mixed in.

The rest of cable offerings is the only thing keeping these channels alive because nobody is really watching them.

It's hard to quantify how "different of a person" you are. But if there's one thing reading psych literature taught me it's that traits like aggression and compassion (or lack thereof) are measurable and shockingly persistent in people over decades.

Circumstances, triggers, and incentives change wildly. The world is in flux. But people's attitudes generally are not.
"They make people miserable, but look at what they've done!" is by no means unique to Uber or even companies in the past 100 years.

Years from now, he will donate to charity and do philanthropic things and all will be forgotten. Just like another billionaire we know.
I thought smokers cost governments less then the average person because they tend to die quickly right before retirement age. So governments get all the productivity without having to pay for a long retirement and possibly very long and drawn out end of life medical care that healthy people usually require.
Lyft is always cheaper out of LAX for some reason. It's always some small amount, like 25-30c on a $45 fare, but quite consistent. My rides to LAX are usually a mishmash of providers, but rides out of LAX, when optimized for price, tend to be exclusively Lyft.

> Uber isn't a charity.

By that token, their drivers aren't charity workers either. If we put aside the inter-personal aspect of the video (which is contentious to say the least) this, to me, espouses the fundamental flaw in Uber's approach to their business: they have no respect for their workforce.

Unless they can get their self-driving cars working in time (which is another contentious subject), I suspect their eventual failure if it comes will be due to how they treat their drivers. Personally, I use Lyft because (a) in SF Lyft and Uber availability is more or less fungible and (b) I got tired of Uber drivers giving me an earful on how badly Uber treats them. Lyft drivers, in my experience (which is anecodtal, but I take at least 5 Lyfts per week and often 10+) are reasonably happy about their work. After the recent news I went ahead and deleted my Uber account, but that was an easy decision to make since I never use them anyway.
I have a new MacBook with the matched external LG monitor Apple sells. I love the combination. The monitor has one USB-c port to connect/charge the laptop and 3 other USB-c ports, one of which I always keep the $10 dongle to convert to the old USB plug size.

I never think of charging my MacBook because two or theee times a day I plug into the external monitor to work and don't even think of charging anymore.

Swagger is a decent middle ground. There's a lot of warts, but it's serviceable and fairly prevalent with implementations in a variety of languages. Mainly I like to use the yaml version to quickly communicate rest api's. I've also recently started appreciating JSON Schema more recently for this reason. It's lighter weight than xml schemas. Inclusion of regex based field validation is pretty handy.

Why is it a good thing to standardise? Given that most petrol stations have equal access for both sides, you'd start losing efficiency once the number of standardised cars reached a certain proportion. I figure that by that point, electric cars will have rendered this obsolete. If the entire nature of transportation hasn't changed by that point. And civilisation as we know it still exists.

> There's a difference between someone realizing they've made a mistake and openly admitting it without needing external pressure / evidence versus someone just "handling" more evidence of wrong-doing coming up.

I agree there's a difference, I just don't see the value in calling for his head. There's nothing else to expect of him. He clearly wants to stay and keep trying. It's the board's job to decide if he's fit to remain as CEO.

> it looks more like someone was accused of a negative type of behavior, the person never acknowledged it or resolved it for a long period, then suddenly a series of events followed by video evidence came-up, only then the person acknowledges it and issues an apology and demands/expects to be forgiven

I don't see him expecting anything more from anyone but himself. You may infer that, but it's not written there.

I think his message is simple. He wants to remain as CEO and is willing to take steps to improve his leadership style to do so. You may feel those are empty words. To me, they're meaningful because I've read stories of companies that have been transformed by CEOs who become aware how their faults effect the company. It's possible he is not being sincere, but, I don't see much value in wishing for his demise. An in-company replacement would likely keep the same culture going, and an outside replacement isn't reliable in the tech world. As John Sculley showed, that's risky.

> If on the other hand, the perpetrator acknowledged not just this specific issue that had video evidence, but also acknowledged other issues/faults and gave a plan of action for how they were changing their behavior (more than I'm getting help now), then it would be something positive.

Given the shortness of this apology, I'd guess he isn't quite sure what his other faults are, and is seeking help to identify them.
Nothing. Works. Anymore.

Here I was thinking the world gets more awesome every day. I am now awake.
As everyone else points out, GET and POST are really all thats implemented in anything else other then a catelogging system.

So if we concede that people using these 2 operations are not implementing REST, what are they implementing? Well i would argue, CQRS.

GET = Query, POST = Command

Then our REST api becomes super simple and consistant across implementations.

/api/run POST UpdateModelCommand { }
/api/run GET ListModelQuery { }
Came here looking for a comment like this. If you're not discussing HATEOAS at all, you will be losing out on many of the benefits that REST provides.
You're still making the "standard of living" argument that is essentially hypocritical when you think about it globally. You are extremely privileged to be born in the USA, rich or poor.

Also, you would realistically need to be taxed more like 80-95% to get to the global mean.
Http-rpc is. People call it rest nowadays even when it isn't nor understand the state tranfer part of rest. Not saying it's your case specifically but I'we seen exactly zero http-rpc API implementing rest but a shitton people claiming their json-rpc interface was.

JSON, as the name suggests, is easily and natively consumable by JavaScript, the only language to run natively in web browsers.

And everyone uses a web browser.

Ergo, if you develop an HTTP API, you should do it with JSON so it can work easily in web browsers.

I'm not talking about manually implementing a virtual scrollable canvas. I'm talking about "make item 19 in that list box visible in the middle of It's display area."

I agree that scrolling virtual spaces should be native and hardware accelerated whenever possible, but I think we are talking about different use cases.
Something that struck me is: almost half of the country would disagree with you (the more conservative half). A lot of the American public believes what Kalanick said to be very true when it comes to low-ish income people complaining about what wealthier people do to them.
Personally, I didn't find this disproportionately disrespectful. The driver makes a couple unsubstantiated claims (perfectly ok--it's a car discussion). Travis does the same. The driver starts making accusations ("you keep changing every day"). Travis asks for clarification. The driver keeps up his attack ("You changed the whole business! You dropped the prices.")

If someone accused me in such a fashion, and persisted despite me asking for clarification and trying to actually explain my view to them, I'd probably be a lot more vitriolic than Travis was. (It's a character flaw of mine.) And saying that some people don't like to take responsibility for their own shit is, well, true?

I don't like that billionaires are held to a different standard. People say, "they don't need protection; they're rich." Ok, but if you discount something a billionaire says for no reason other than that they're rich and have easy lives, you're not a dispassionate truthseeker.
Rest is a well defined semantic everybody bastardized because they find shameful to say they use json-rpc on the resume or elsewhere. There's a difference there.
Associations Between Software Development and Crowdsourced Knowledge [pdf]
Part 1: Caps on Exec pay - 25x avg salary for first x # of employees, as you add more employees over your baseline that multiplier goes up for example every 1000 employees = 1x so hire 10k and now you're able to earn 35x median wage -- i.e. more employees = more money for execs, as wages increase that also = more money for execs. That handles the corporate side of the corruption.

Part 2: Enact the Anti-corruption act in every governmental capacity from mayorships to congress to ban all money in politics.

Part 3: Members of congress can earn no more than the average salary of an American Citizen, and their healthcare plan is--the same as the average American w/ no perks above what American's get.

Part 4: Term limits for congress, not life-time bans, but you can only server in congress non-congruent terms, meaning you can't serve back to back, someone else has to take your place for a term. More lifeblood bled into congress can't be a bad thing.

It's the 'central dogma' of RESTful services.
Maybe, but also may not be so: it would then cause infinite consciousness/"I" to arise in ~me(?)~, which seems odd. These are very confusing topic that very much interests me.

My understanding is that there are a lot of developed theories in philosophy that tries to explain "ego/I/me" aspect of consciousness. A lot of it is highly technical material. I've been trying to fully understand the content of the book "The Transcendence of the Ego" by Satre for a while, where he claims:

"We should like to show here that the ego is neither formally nor materially in consciousness: it is outside, in the world. It is being of the world, like the ego of another." -- ie, gets rid of insider "I". Phenomenologically "I" being only a formal thing, not actual. (maybe-helpful discussion if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNFWyYa7ef4)

Phenomenology, the subject, itself is very interesting. It's the most fundamental of sciences (previously thought it was physics).
