In case you weren't aware, yes, Irish is an ethnicity, dating back over 9,000 years, making it older than most existing ethnicities. Wikipedia has more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_people

Being an island, Ireland was quite cut off genetically from the world for quite a long time, allowing a distinct ethnicity to develop. And as you may be aware, "race" isn't a real scientifically valid concept, but the word is used colloquially to refer to ethnicity, which is a scientifically valid concept that can be measured using genetics.
Sia is going to have a hard time defending the content that their system will end up hosting... But ethics aside, if the tech works, why can't the nodes be paid in Bitcoin? If payments are the only piece missing in making this work, as you say, why does their computation need to run on the blockchain?

That's a very narrow view of how people get around. Is it based on a rural experience? I've never been outside of walking distance of a small shop for food shopping.
The VAST majority of voters have ID, and it's relatively easy to get one. Most people need one to function in society, and in many states you register to vote in the same place you get an ID anyhow. Perhaps you can point to a few examples where more than one or two people were singled out who wanted to vote but were unable to because of the requirement for ID.

It's been shown that voter fraud in several districts was much higher than previously expected or proposed.

I'm against a lot of the propaganda, and frankly the gerrymandering pisses me off to no end. But saying that requiring an ID to vote is excessive is pretty much out of line with the reality of living in society today.

Now that "w/" is well understood there is no reason to ever use "cum", except maybe in phrases that are entirely Latin.
A lot of planning is done before devs get the feature where I work.

1. Read through 'ticket' (feature/bug/whatever)

2. If its a change in an area I haven't worked on, read through the code to figure out what it currently does. If its new think through the problem and ask any questions. Usually don't want to spend a lot of time on this - coding will generate questions/clarifications as you go (literally iterative).

3. Code, inclusive of tests. I occasionally write tests first if it is a well understood change/fix. If there are common libraries or cross cutting concerns in the change, run test suites of other projects against change.

4. Code review plus feedback changes.

5. Deploy to test env, wait for feedback from testing which includes QA and possibly other groups.

6. When testing is done, get approval for deploy and deploy to production.

We have auto-builds after every push to certain branches with test results hitting chat so we all know if something went bad.

We have the ops pieces in place to deploy whenever. Approvals are usually gotten in short order (an hour). Some apprehension exists with deploying on a Friday afternoon. Continuous delivery.

If you're looking for detailed steps in step 3 above, it varies. Sometimes there are DB changes required, sometimes its an external integration, etc.
One thing I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned much is the Django Rest Framework (DRF). If you're building a CRUD-heavy website with very separate back and frontend (no django templates) then the fact that DRF can give you a big hyperlinked REST API for free is something I've found extremely useful.

I tend to use Django for big websites and Flask for small websites/microservice APIs.

You can go into your viewing activity (only available from your account page on the desktop site, I think) and delete the show from there, and then it should remove it from "Continue Watching".

It's not an obvious or straightforward thing to need to do, but seems to work.
> Several are working on identical services where you pick up, curbside, the ingredients and instructions in a bag, and pay significantly less for doing so.

Is there anything here that would get in the way of supermarkets usual model? All I can think of is that a package of ingredients would have to have a sell by date of the item that goes out of date the quickest and they would require staff for preparation (e.g. adding only one clove of garlic, packaging up a tablespoon of soy sauce).
I investigated different algorithms for recommendation systems once and was astonished to find that the best one was also the most simple one: Jaccard similarity. No other similarities nor a proprietary custom built algorithm (which was the actual target of the investigation) could beat it.
I really don't get it. Basic web-pages are simpler, easier, faster, smaller, and provide data in a more manageable format.

Sure, there's some things that work better as an SPA, but those are extremely rare.
The suggestions are probably based on browsing history rather than on buying history. It's not that surprising; you likely browse for multiple items, which helps make inferences about what you might want to buy. You only buy a small fraction of the items you browse, much of them unrelated. Taking one of those points (your purchase) and guessing that it belongs to a cluster of points that shouldn't be suggestions is not obvious. Further, basing suggestions on purchases might give terrible results given that your purchases are mostly unrelated.
Somebody whose predictions are 100% wrong all the time would be enormously valuable - you just bet on the opposite outcome of the prediction ;)

> Are you seriously arguing wifi causes cancer

I'm talking about the broad concept of Electromagnetic Pollution, including effects known & unknown. I'm not convinced of the "proof" that Electromagnetic pollution does not cause cancer, as there are secondary effects (i.e. Melatonin).

Putting cell phones next to you head is not a good idea. We aren't going to hear about the effects from the "scientific consensus" until there's a market solution though.

Sunlight is good for you & will reduce cancer.

Tesla is the new Amazon. Analysts doubt its profitability, but sales & stock price march higher.
The active region is smaller, but this is an argument about total bulk. IBM has shown functioning transistors with only a handful of atoms, already.
What their marketing department yells versus what they deliver has a huge gap, what I'm talking about is not the marketing part but the actual tech. I'm not aware of MB or Volvo getting into the kind of crashes that Tesla has been having.
What is it with this "already priced in" bullshit? It should be obvious by now that stock prices are not based on pure, rational calculations of value. This is why one single news article, like this one, can drop the value of the stock by 7%. The only way to know how Tesla will perform is to watch things unfold. A few years back, when Tesla was struggling to make the Model S happen, would you say that its current success was "already priced in"?

I would say that most of the big investors who are betting against Tesla are finance people, with a relatively poor understanding of the real potential for this company. They tend to see it purely as a car company. They don't understand that Tesla's battery production, their solar and utility-scale energy storage businesses are also worth quite a bit. They don't understand that the self-driving technology has a lot of value as well. They also don't understand that Tesla's electric cars are currently outperforming every other electric car, and every production ICE car as well. And lastly, they don't understand that Tesla is basically the Apple of cars, they sell cool, hot ticket items. Finance people who think "Tesla just can't unseat GM and Ford" are have definitely not "priced in" all the information.

The people who are betting for Tesla are either people more familiar with technology, or people who are just really rooting for change, and happy to see a newcomer finally shake things up. The latter have not "priced in" much information either, they are going based on hope. I personally think that Tesla has a very good shot at succeeding. Not only because Elon Musk does seem to eventually deliver what he promises, but also because the company has so many people rooting for it. These days, when Tesla needs financing, they just issue more shares, and people buy them up. This basically means that Tesla can pull itself out of debt very easily. I don't think that Ford and GM can say the same, they do not have millions of small investors rooting for them, ready to pull them out of debt. If Tesla slips up in its Model 3 deliveries, even by quite a bit, I do think the stock price will suffer, temporarily, but I think that most people will forgive them. Many people, myself included, are just very happy to see electric cars finally becoming a reality. I know that if Tesla ever drops near $200 again, I will be buying a whole lot more of it.
Keep in mind an employer is usually trying to follow compliance and reporting standards set by OPM, OSHA, IRS, etc. when selecting the allowable answers to this question.
Uh...that's basically the definition of manipulation.

I'd probably bet my life that GS did a short sell on TSLA before putting out that article.
The tiles aren't static raster images, but they're still tiles, made of vector data. You can see them while it's loading. This allows Google to cache the files they serve.

And when you pan a Google Map, you're panning a flat Web Mercator projection. If it were a projection of the globe, then everything that's already been rendered would have to be adjusted by imperceptible subpixels to account for the curvature of the Earth.
Status Quo Is Not God
Sure, we just have to reword it - something like this may be less confrontational:

> "Hi! I have a suggestion on question #14. I think we can improve this to be more inclusive by replacing the options w ith "male", "female", "gender queer" "non-binary", (...) Since transgender people may or may not associate with a gender, we have be a little careful when asking for a gender. Hope this helps!"

When I write emails, I always pretend to "YELL" the email in the most dramatic way possible. If it sounds potentially confrontational yelling what I am saying, it could be intimidating for some people.

By defusing the way you talk to others, you make them feel more comfortable around you. The more comfortable people feel around you, the more they trust you and listen to what you say. It's a win-win :)
Just for months? Amazon keeps recommending me the same 90s Radiohead albums based on stuff I bought a decade+ ago. Retargeting can be so on point these days so I don't get why Amazon's recommender systems have been horrible for years. All they have to do is to peek at my cart, which I use as a wishlist, to figure out what I'm currently interested in.
Imagine a world where all IP packets are indistinguishable from any other, where TCP cannot be exploited to block SSH connections, where even key exchange/agreement cannot be blocked without blocking all IP packets. In such a world, blocking Wikipedia would be all but impossible without taking the totalitarian country to ruin.

But IPsec was sabotaged thoroughly. draft-ietf-ipsec-inline-isakmp was silenced. Now every protocol must implement a security policy and framework individually, without exception. SSH, TLS, EAP oh my (that is a lot of EAP methods.)

Vae victis. Woe to the conquered. RIP IPsec.
I think this is absolutely the only way we're ever going to get better repairability and manufacturers who make products to last that length of time.

In Australia, we have the traditional warranty by law, but we also have a law that requires appliances to last as long as would be reasonably expected to by a consumer. [1] And they must meet any extra claims. Of course, this is an absolute pain to then try to get the manufacturer to uphold, and you may have to threaten legal action.

We did this with an Apple Watch that broke when dropped onto concrete. My argument was that the watch was repeatedly marketed as a "sports watch", and such a device should be able to withstand a small fall without being destroyed. Took a few months, but we got a replacement. Have had friends with good experiences with large appliances, but you certainly have to be prepared to fight.

Wouldn't that only work if you only remove stuff that you already added, i.e. you can't remove an element that would be considered a 'false positive' and still expect to have no 'false negatives' after that?
From Mathematics to Generic Programming: Alexander Stepanov and Daniel Rose
Very well said (to Andreessen I suppose). I started off with spreadsheets, but have evolved to this over time, even though it feels less rigorous and more intuitive. To some extent, I wonder how much investment banks suffer from the fact that they have to explain their picks with rigour\quantitatively forces them into missing the biggest payoffs which can only come from following sound intuition. And then, also if you are communicating your choices qualitatively you probably rely on familiar thematic 'stories' (big data! deep learning!) which leads to Thiel's aversion to stories.
Except, that mother almost certainly knew of the recent excesses of violence played out on behalf of, if not explicitly the direction of, United Airlines, and made a judgment call about reducing risk that her child would be beaten up by a cop or air-steward (or that her child would be taken from her in a strange city if she were arrested).

As much as United shed crocodile tears over the David Dao beat-up incident, the more power-hungry / Milgram-normalized flight crews probably secretly appreciate the implicit threat of violence that now accompanies their seating suggestions.

The Quantum Computing Talk
I worked in state and city campaigns for a number of years, and I just wanted to confirm what you've written: that patronage and loyalty testing IS at the center (among other things) of high-level political operations. It's a cynical view, for sure, but politics is a cynical business for the most part. (Or at least that was my experience and observation.)

For many years I've observed an out-of-sight-out-of-mind approach by the citizenry towards the darker side of politics (beyond partisan horse racing and gotchas). No real demand for investigatory journalism, because who wants to pay for that? As long as "appearances were kept up" citizens seemed to dismiss the dirty stuff in favor of the shallow Gotcha Debates. Very frustrating to see corruption and/or neglect being ignored by the voter base in favor of Bread and Circus politics.

The fact that Trump is just making this more obvious has a lot of people stirring about how this is a new phenomenon, when what's happening is that the machinations are being exposed more willingly by the current regime. It's difficult to shake up a world view when appearances suddenly don't matter (in a traditional sense).

Wake up please! Still have some sunlight left.
Do you believe decisions like this are randomly made?

> "Why not offer everyone an 'intern buddy'"

Female interns could have complained about sexual harassment, female interns could have had lower rates of accepting return offers, etc.

> "Also, why change from opt-in to opt-out"

The program had been going on for a while. They could have had data that suggested that female interns would be interested in such a program but had fears about bringing it to the attention of their managers or had fears of the repercussions of being one of the few who accepted.
Similarly, I've been enjoying JSS[1] a lot... it works similar to inlined, but under the covers it creates classes per component and renders to styles... can pre-render via server pass too.

Surprised to read this coming from an engineering professor. I guess we mortals have more in common with professors than we think :) thanks for the humility.
Don't tell that to U.S. car dealers who still won't promote their electric offerings, even though the car companies themselves, often driven by stricter pollution controls, are moving away from internal combustion at an accelerating clip.

Tried to start an EV charging dock installation business (as an electrical contractor). Just couldn't get any traction from the dealers. Also, the state wouldn't release the names of buyers for privacy reasons. Eventually, I threw in the towel. Market is growing. Homeowners (forget renters) typically can't install 240V equipment on their own. And they need 240V. But no business I could find.

Think we've got a ways to go in our dearly besotted America which wants big SUVs and pickups powered by fossil fuels. And then there's The Dump and Pruitt, his EPA administrator. Hard to see how we're going to get to an EV world anytime soon.
give react-jss a look... :-)
I don't get it, why do you have so many button components? If you have different buttons for a number of valid scenarios, it follows that each scenario should be reconsidered during such a rebranding.

The problem you're describing shouldn't actually exist in a well-structured component system based on a well-considered design system.

Secondly, nothing is stopping you importing constants representing brand colours, spacing and typography from other modules, then using them in your component styles. In fact, this is what people actually do.

It should not require layers and layers of exceptions to categorize products that get repeat buys (paper towels), similar buys (detective novels), or one-time buys (vacuum cleaners), and make recommendations accordingly.
The "shitty culture" part to a large extent comes from "too much authority" part. Combined with one more, namely "lack of accountability". In many cases, CBP and ICE officers can make decisions that are essentially arbitrary, and that either cannot be disputed or appealed at all, or the process is so convoluted, esp. if you're outside the country, that it might as well not be there.
"Early on the morning of Sunday, August 16, 1942, ... World War II was only nine months old"

Depends on your point of view.
One of the differences is that Supermarkets don't have the freedom of operation that Blue Apron does. Years of tight margins and increasingly complex stocking and merchandising restrictions in exchange for incentives has created something of a quagmire there. You're locally owned small market, sure. But don't look at Safeway or Krogers to be able to jump onto this trend either quickly or cost effectively.

Those constraints would seem to be the only reason another startup, curbside, continues to exist :-)
I would think Oracle could afford a copy editor for their world-facing communications. That post could use a once-over by a competent editor.

That said, the complaints they have about Docker are extremely valid. I've been grumbling about them for years. Though some of their solutions seem clunky. The /read, /write and /run directories seem...weird, at best.
> setState doesn't actually care whether you've mutated your data or updated it immutably.

Not necessarily - if something downstream is looking at the values (such as a shouldComponentUpdate check), the first mutation may cause the current value to === the next value and prevent a render. I know you called this out as an "optimization" but you don't always know what's happening inside your components, especially if 3rd party libraries are involved.

That's very true, but it still not expressively correct in my eyes.
It's not just about getting an electric car on the market. They are going to have to release models with 5 star safety ratings in all categories/sub-categories, and enable their cars to perform like drag race cars, and enable their cars to drive themselves, and probably buy batteries from Tesla. They cannot move as fast as Tesla has been moving. They will survive. But there will be another US 'auto maker' to compete with.
Can you elaborate why do you assume that such videos are likely to have a text equivalent?

You bring up lectures as example - I certainly don't have transcripts of lectures I've given, and neither do most professors/lecturers/whatever that I know; a few of them have most of their talk content in their slides but that's a horrible practice that distracts from effective lecture or presentation; in general all the non-audio material is intended to be a supplement to the talk and either are not meaningful without it (e.g. illustrations) or are not representative of the talk (e.g. a textbook chapter that's mostly about the same topic, but different). The recorded audio (if it'd be recorded) would literally be the only copy of the content of that lecture in existence.

The same applies for many other genres of video content. Most videos aren't scripted, and thus no script exists; heck, even videos that are clearly well prepared, staged and filmed with multiple takes (e.g. many of "youtube creators") generally don't have a script beforehand, the textual content is improvised on the spot and doesn't exist in written form unless it gets transcribed.

Interviews and podcasts are other good examples - as you say, many users who can hear would prefer to read it, I certainly would, but the obvious reality is that the textual version of those things does not exist unless it gets made, and making it takes much more time than recording the interview or podcast in the first place.
