Survival of a species shouldn't rely on a difference of seeing an animal suffering alive just for our entertainment vs on some video. If we got that far, said animal is extinct already, and you experiencing it live or not doesn't mean anything in grand scale of things.

From cold logic point of view the best thing to do is to take stem cell sample and store it till the time comes we have the science to repopulate the earth with it again.

Neither dolphins nor most types of whales are nowhere near this danger, compared to many other endangered species.
There are enough possibilities to create jobs which actually make sense. Like increasing the mineral oil tax and improve the run down infrastructure with the additional tax revenue.
"Psychopaths have always been with us. Indeed, certain psychopathic traits have survived because they’re useful in small doses: the cool dispassion of a surgeon, the tunnel vision of an Olympic athlete, the ambitious narcissism of many a politician."

"The condition can go unnoticed because many children with these traits—who can be charming and smart enough to mimic social cues—are able to mask them."

This claim comes interestingly close to that of Pieter Hintjens' in his blog and book: http://hintjens.com/blog:_psychopaths

The enterprise page is targeted decision makers in big companies who might have been sent there by the dev team. As such our main objective is to communicate that GraphQL is a proven technology.

This. I too dreaded the switch because of all the history, but the migration to fastmail was quick and painless, and I lost nothing. (Arguably, losing everything would've been better, so much useless noise in my history.)

Agreed in part, however TLS Tokens and Keep alive aren't specific to this vendor... it's something that the author should be doing anyway. If they were to self host rather than contract out the underlying service upon which they depend they may have figured this out sooner.
No it doesn't. It gives them the motivation to find ways of communicating off the record.

No, ML is very, very good at doing breeds. See, for example https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.06765.pdf which gets 88.9% accuracy on the Stanford Dogs dataset, and 84.3 on the Caltech Birds dataset.

These are way better than anything a non-expert human can do. For example, it can distinguish between the Rhinoceros Auklet and the Parakeet Auklet.

Seattle and Silicon Valley are now joined at the hip. The best approach is to make that connection as efficient as possible, ... Rather than relying on flights, which are often delayed or cancelled due to bad weather, ... someone should build a high-speed rail line.

Good luck with that. It took a world of political arm-twisting to get a modern rail line from LA to San Francisco, a distance of only 400 miles. San Francisco to Seattle is twice that. Not gonna happen.
There is no right place for a train station in a sprawling city. An effective train station needs a certain amount of stuff within walking distance, which is only possible if the city is built that way.
I too had the Atrix, the Lapdock and the multimedia dock. It was a good device, just hampered by the lack of RAM, the dual core processor (which was a bit sluggish), and the hampered Linux desktop; I too hacked around with it to be able to install all manner of useful tools (compilers, editors, office packages) and it was useful. The Lapdock had a good screen and was conveniently incredibly thin. I did miss a backlit keyboard though.

In any case it was years ahead of its time.

Sold all the components individually though - I think someone used the Lapdock with a Raspberry Pi in the end.

Monoculture is not a good thing.
There is no such thing as an "orthogonal problem" here, both things connect. That's why you (a) want to have your processes staying alive in about any software as long as possible (hence invalidating your argument for #1), and (b) as I clearly mentioned, you do need to report such unexpected errors to the developer of the program, to avoid that they get swept under the rug.

But handling cases from #1 as you described is nonviable in (virtually) all cases (except as described: if the error prevents the binary from completing that single job it was run on). Just imagine any of the programs you are running on your machine right now would just crash because they are not resilient to an off-by-one fencing error or whatever other bug (and there will be issues, even in your three-liners). I bet you'd be pretty pissed off if your programs would crash on you every other day or so...
I think Google gets the public cloud. What they struggle with is lower margin, revenue driven, customer obsessed businesses.

First, it's important to understand unless you're buying ads from Google, or renting their machines, you are not their customer. Users are inventory and they spend a lot of money trying to procure inventory (users) for their customers (advertisers).

When you look at it through this lens, you can see how Google as an institution can tolerate experimenting with ideas that are disconnected from revenue models and dropping failed ideas like hot potatoes. It makes sense for them to behave that way.

Amazon's services are almost always designed with either a concrete or direct path to revenue upfront and they have a huge customer support infrastructure they can tap into. They move a little slower in certain areas of R&D because customer obsessed businesses are tolerant of deprecating technology when it doesn't work out. That means they'll do more market research, take less risks and focus on tenaciously steady growth rather than trying to always hit it out of the park.

When choosing a vendor, it's important to understand how their offerings affect the solvency of their business and whether it fits into their core competency.

In this case, Firebase's prices were too low. That should have been a warning sign. The other warning sign is Firebase is a such a small percentage of Google's revenue, Google doesn't have a huge incentive to fix customer service issues.

This is not universally true, I just checked Nature Genetics (as it was mentioned before) and it appears there are no publication fees unless you have colour figures.

Wouldn't Darwinian processes produce "just barely good enough" solutions? i.e. once you're at the stage where things are good enough to survive long enough to reproduce, evolution doesn't play much of a role.

A great example of this is me; I'm pretty amazing; I can move around my environment, make a living to a sufficient degree to cover costs of food and shelter, and somehow even have a fiancée and manage to keep another organism alive & fed. However I'm not an expert at everything, I'm pretty bad at most sporting based things (even compared to other, existing humans; not some theoretical concept of perfection), and I spend about a third of my life doing nothing (sleeping), despite this not necessarily being required (e.g. Dolphins can sleep half their brain at a time, allowing them to avoid this inefficient downtime).

So, presently, this is what I've been able to gather:

--------------

Xeon E5 2699 v5

32C/64T @ 2.30 GHz

L1 Instruction Cache: 32 KB x 32

L1 Data Cache: 32 KB x 32

L2 Cache: 256 KB x 32

L3 Cache: 46080 KB

--------------

AMD EPYC

32C/64T @ 1.4 GHz

L1 Instruction Cache: 32 KB x 32

L1 Data Cache: 64 KB x 32

L2 Cache: 512 KB x 32

L3 Cache: TBA

--------------

It's going to be interesting to see what the performance per dollar amounts to on both sides.

I'm guessing the Xeon will land somewhere around $4K. Although, I have no idea about the EPYC.

I have absolutely no opinion on the investment choices by Ford, you should ask legitster about that.
From the article itself:

"...this study found that socioeconomic and race/ethnicity factors alone explained 60% of the variation in life expectancy. At the same time, 74% of the variation was explained by behavioral and metabolic risk factors alone, while only marginally more variation was explained by socioeconomic and race/ethnicity factors, behavioral and metabolic risk factors, and health care factors combined. Furthermore, there was very little additional effect of socioeconomic and race/ethnicity factors when accounting for all 3 sets of factors simultaneously, suggesting that the association between life expectancy and socioeconomic and race/ethnicity factors at the county level is largely mediated through behavioral and metabolic risk factors."

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how they are controlling here, but don't race, income, socioeconomic status in general change one's behavioral and metabolic risk factors (think because I'm poor I don't have access to fresh produce, or something like that)? If so, the big conclusion gained by controlling for those factors seem nearly useless to me.

We all know by now that metabolic and behavioral risk factors drive health outcomes. Are the authors just trying to point out that hope isn't lost regardless of race or socioeconomic status?
I think there might be an advantage to either being older or perhaps being more experienced, I'm not sure which. I find people my age automatically go for renting equipment vs the cloud.

I've never understood the advantages of these services except for when you have drastic usage changes throughout the day.

But all the younger folks seem to think it's awesome:

"Look ma, I didn't even need to register my own domain, wait for DNS propagation, or install software, or wait a few days for hardware to be provisioned. That cut my MVP time from 30 days to 25 days!"

For about $250/m I can get a dedicated windows server that can handle just about anything a startup can throw at it. Sure it's work, but not too much work.

Hardware matters. I would estimate the cost of running in the cloud to be 3-4x more expensive than rented hardware. The $60/m VPS you're getting with a virtual core is usually one hyperthread on one actual core. That's a lot of money for so little and hourly billing doesn't help if you're using it 24/7.

The proprietary SAAS situation is even worse than VPSs. Besides the lock in, the billing is so abstracted from reality that you'll never realize how much you're overpaying.
You'd be better off just going with whatever "result" you want regardless of the data, and save on the AWS costs.
For something like this I'd have thought you'd be better off ignoring services like this and getting a Terraform setup going. Lambda functions are pretty simple to push out and it wouldn't require you to have some additional third party cruft in the middle:

> This comment anecdotally reinforces my impression that UX people today (I assume you're either a UX people, or a people interested in UX) have a bias for full-width sites and browsers.

I used it on a cell phone. My choices there are limited to landscape or portrait mode, both of which behave awfully in subtly different ways. They obviously went out of their way to make a mobile version of the layout, though. They just didn't think it through, because they suck at UX.

And yes, since I am a user, I am interested in my experience. I can't say that I have a bias for full-width sites and browsers, but even if I did, why should my experience be worse in full screen than in a smaller window? Why should it be worse on a phone? The content is text. You read it from left to right, from the top to the bottom. Laying it out in a way that doesn't inspire self harm is not rocket science. Despite these vapid UX blogs making their snake oil salesmanship out to be valuable and insightful, they've failed to find a solution for the most basic problem. They can't even lay text out without having useless crap hovering over it. It's like calling yourself a plumber when you can't even flush your toilet.

Frankly, I'd rather side scroll, because at least then I'd have to make a conscious effort to see all the non-content.

Eh, it looks like the service provider hadn't taken into account an oddball use case in the pricing / metering, and then suddenly did.

They certainly should have communicated that better and their tools / charts should have a way of showing the billable data, but it's a bit of a stretch to call it vendor lock-in. It's not like everyone on Firebase is complaining and the author admits they made major mistakes.

Take them to small claims court, if you have a legitimate grievance. In most jurisdictions a lawyer cannot represent a defendant. At best it will get them moving. It will be sure to at least make them take notice, even if you you have at least costed them and made them account for your grievance.

edit: Meant, even if you lose you have cost them significantly an that has the intended effect of signaling they should improve customer service.
