This is easy for Uber to fix. The surge (or the calculation of drivers) just needs to be delayed by 15mins or so. He can still turn off his app, but now he'll have to do it for more than 15mins, thus potentially losing 1 or 2 rides.

This is really exciting news.

However, a big challenge that makes this work extremely difficult to bring to fruition is that you have to let an embryo develop fully to figure out to determine if the therapy actually produces a healthy human. At which point the consequences of failed experiments become increasingly difficult to work with for obvious ethical and moral reasons.
Yep. "What happens if you read all the disks successfully but the redundancy doesn't agree?" is a great question.

Mirrors and RAID5: there's obviously no way that `md` software RAID can help, since it doesn't know which is correct. What about RAID6 though? Double parity means `md` would have enough information to determine which disk has provided incorrect data. Surely it does this, right?

Wrong. In the event of any parity mismatch, `md` assumes the data disks are correct and rewrites the parity to match. See "Scrubbing and Mismatches" section in `man 4 md`:

https://linux.die.net/man/4/md

If you scrub a RAID 6 array with a disk that returns bad data, `md` helpfully overwrites your two disks of redundancy in order to agree with the one disk that's wrong. Array consistent, job done, data... eaten.
This is why I don't let my kid watch YouTube unattended. Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime offer more than enough content for them. If there's only something available on YouTube then I'll find a playlist with only that content and let them watch that.

YouTube's random suggestions is a killer for kids. The first time I happened upon a "Lego unboxing" video I knew exactly what was going on and realized the danger of it.
Where is that point where humanitarian bombing to simply remove the government and replace it with a saner one becomes justifiable? Aren't we already there? That country became one big BDSM parlor.

Especially since now replacing just one branch of the government is needed, as parlament seems to be OK.
If you have a resume you can typically find a local newspaper report of whatever the crime was even if their name is John smith.

That said, local newspaper stuff is a horrible source of information. "Mr. Doe was charged with the entire book" routinely turns into a plea deal for the smallest charge on the list.

It's always so exciting to have my knowledge of Psychology called into question by a "DevOps engineer" in Minneapolis.
I grew up with 3 channels and an analogue black and white TV that died after an hour due to thermal runaway. Unsupervised daytime viewing did not happen. Putting on the TV when the parents were out in the day was tantamount to drinking spirits for breakfast, or that is how it felt, as if we had nothing to do.

Back then the recommendation engine was your friends and you would talk about 'Life on Earth's or whatever else was the main presentation on TV the night before. Everyone was on the same page so you could not ruin life for box set types.

In that framework you had to pay attention and understand the nuances of the story. If you didn't then you would not be in on convo and you would miss out. So you learned stuff.

If you only had two hours of time in front of a screen you were focused on the programming and it may have been what your parents want to watch, e.g. current affairs or drama. There was definitely an aspect of education to it.

I did not get all the channels or the colours that my contemporaries from other regions did so there is a 50% gap in my TV education, so I don't pick up on references to a lot of stuff, yet that shared culture is a good thing, humanising. The stuff I miss out on, it is like not being on Facebook.

The stuff YouTube are doing is wonderful but I wonder if we need to be trained into this solitary rather than shared viewing. The sharing in conversation was important to me.
I hired 100+ senior developers at $50-70K per year for a project, mostly from East Europe/Ukraine/Russia.

We were like, "Holy ! these people are so cheap. If I hire people with same level of experience locally, I would have to pay 3-5x more on average."

Later, my friend took over this team of developers for his startup. What he found is that 30% developers in his team were working for two or more employers.

And something like 20% of them outsourced part of the projects to developers in South Asia, security risk.

Today, we try to hire onsite as much as possible.

It require very high level of trust to hire someone remote.
In line with that, I think you could also put up a blog section for testimonials, in the near future. IMHO, People need to read stories of how 70million Jobs has helped successful candidates, as that will build confidence in the system.

I was surprised that as a developer the poster complained about the trackpad so much. I wish I could get a system where I didn't need a pointing device at all. It just gets in the way of typing. I also personally hate gestures on trackpads. When I use them I only expect the level of interaction that I could get 10 years ago (move, click, right click, maybe scroll) and am frequently surprised by backward scroll axis, browsers going to the previous site etc. -- due to a brush with the track pad. The sooner trackpads are removed from these devices the better. That won't work for most people, but as a developer, I could do without it.

Shutting down voluntarily is also legal. Remember that the question wasn't about business strategy. The question is whether he is "doing almost the same thing as what he's fighting against". And the answer seems to be yes.

Expensive options are not the only way to solve this dilemma. They could simply amend their position on free expression to explain why this is an exception. Such an explanation might not even reflect badly on them.
Yes, thanks to shorter distances and the horse-cart. I assure you it's more expensive to own a horse in an urban environment.
Uh, no you don't. A lot of cases get plead down and the cops/DAs are lazy and often don't charge people with crimes they're not sure they can successfully prosecute. That's why there's so many "non-violent drug offenders" in prison all over. Yeah, most of those people were up to no good but got taken down for something less serious.
Beheading was public spectacle up until very recently, kids are less distressed by seeing violence than you might think.

I don't think human moderators are the clear fix at all.

Both Facebook and Twitter employ a large number of human moderators, and they still regularly make judgment calls that are comically bad - defending stalkers while suspending their victims, suspending users that are the target of coordinated harassment campaigns, etc.

The reality is that when you have an army of people who need to churn through a vast amount of content per day, without the time or authority to look at the full scope and context of user interactions, they will make lots of bad calls. Doubly so if the moderators live half a world a way and have little awareness of the culture and norms of users they're asked to evaluate.

Add this to the fact that the really obvious abusive comments can and are already being moderated by automated systems, it means the human moderators are overwhelmingly exposed to the trickiest, least cut-and-dry situations.

My experience on Amazon is that I try not to buy from sellers that aren't shipping directly through Amazon even if it's a lower price due to too many issues.

I broke my rule recently yet again and purchased a "new" book on Amazon from a third seller that was about 1/2 the price of any Amazon shipper for the same item. When it arrived the book was not only not new, but was seriously damaged. Pages were all stuck together where the book must have been wet at some time, a bunch of the pages were torn.
This thing was damaged so badly that I about 1/3 of the pages aren't even readable. I contacted the seller and they told me they would send a replacement "right away". That was a month ago and still no replacement, but they have a "no refunds" policy.

=============Edit=========

Here's a picture of this "new" book. The packaging was not damaged at all so this had to be an issue with the reseller rather than USPS.

You would think so, but:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Meriwether

"A year after LTCM's collapse, in 1999, Meriwether founded JWM Partners LLC. (...) Meriwether opened his third hedge fund venture, named JM Advisors Management, also based in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 2010."

Meriwether blows up and is not a fraud. But then there's this guy:

We wonder why kids watch the same content over and over again, but are we any different? I can admit to listening few musical pieces quite many times and still enjoy them. Same applies to well done (standup) comedy clips, somehow they don't loose their value in my eyes even though I know exactly what will happen.
It affects every internet-connected device purchased by the federal government. Since states usually handle their own voting, I don't think this applies.
Bullrun (decryption program) – Wikipedia
All television from the 60s and 70s had extremely long shots by today's standards.

Just for fun pick any show on any channel with modern content. Drama, comedy, even news broadcasts -- the average shot duration is only 3.5 seconds. SECONDS! Not only that, but the weird camera angles, and the infuriating "shakey cam" (handled camera being purposely jiggled) is predominant in children's programming, and used to keep our ever-decreasing focus. (It's a wonder that children today can focus long enough to ever read a single paragraph.)

Now, for comparison, watch an episode of Andy Griffith, or I Love Lucy, and marvel that one camera shot might be 3 minutes long.
Hunh, brilliant. Seems like some wisdom passed down from the late 1800's when industrialization was just getting going.
Upon further reading, it seems this is largely due to the fact that previous implementations of communist society have included an authoritarian government.

I'm mainly reading the Wikipedia pages but it seems that communism in theory is actually stateless and doesn't have a government at all, let alone an authoritarian one:

"A communist society is characterized by common ownership of the means of production with free access to the articles of consumption and is classless and stateless, implying the end of the exploitation of labor."

"Marx and Engels maintained that a communist society would have no need for the state as it exists in contemporary capitalist society. The capitalist state mainly exists to enforce hierarchical economic relations, to enforce the exclusive control of property, and to regulate capitalistic economic activities—all of which would be non-applicable to a communist system."

Your comment is very insightful. I was in prison with lots of folks who:
1. Dealt pot. Now widely decriminalized.
2. Cheated on their taxes. I don't know a business person who doesn't fudge their T&E.
3. DWI/Drunk driving. Who among us hasn't driven, having had that extra glass of wine.
Morality is frequently not as black-and-white as we'd wish it conveniently be. We are human. We screw up. There should be ramifications for our transgressions.
But a life sentence! That's the punishment, effectively, that's meted out. How evolved does that make us, as a society?
It's easier to rule over people who live in fear, so just make more things illegal, process people through the system, and you get your total state without anyone raising an eyebrow.
Until you get in an accident. The rideshare companies have offloaded lots of aggregate risk onto individual drivers. What would be a line-item cost to the umbrella company is now often a life-wrenching crisis for a driver.
I completely agree that for a interactive tool like text editor startup time is crucial. But in my case being a bit on the slow side is probably fine, because the UI is for informational purposes only, and VLC takes around 5-10 seconds anyways to startup and begin playing the file, that is being downloaded.
Fair enough.

You responded to the question "Why should scores be normed?"; I think it's fair to interpret that as providing a reason, in your own mind, that scores should be normed. If you don't want "because" read into your answer to "why?", you need to bring up the fact that your comment is not intended as a response to its parent.

Not as many times as you seem to want to. Why post three separate replies, all saying the same thing, within five minutes of each other?
Maybe because of the language constructs that facilitate functional programming, you would think a data driven centric approach would be chose first over objects.
Uber presumably takes a fixed cut of the fare, so they have at least some incentive to look the other way during surge collusion. If the drivers do it simultaneously to both Lyft and Uber then both companies will be happy to see this going on.
> That's 23% the customers are loosing out on instantly.

That's not even remotely true. Right now there are zero exchanges that support depositing BCH. The only BCH that are trading are the ones that were created by the exchanges.

So unless you're arguing that Coinbase should be liable for not creating an exchange for BCH then the argument that anyone has lost out on money has zero merit. Even if Coinbase had already given everyone BCH, no one would have been able to sell on any exchange.
They did let them grow for 5 days which should have provided some data. Though what I don't get is why were they destroyed after 5 days? If it's considered ethical to allow abortions for periods up to 20+ weeks, then it should be considered ethical for science as well.
You don't actually need to distract them. It's important for them to learn that there is shit that needs to be done and there are periods of boredom.

> The majority of humans don't find it so easy or necessary.

Minority, in fact. You're wildly exaggerating, as is the article.

Half of Facebook's monthly actives barely use the core social network service. That leaves a billion people or so. There are 7.x billion people on the planet. Your majority premise just collapsed.

Google has about 1/3 of global adults as users, with varying frequency. Gmail as an example, has a small share of global email. Again, minority.

Amazon is still a trivial ecommerce presence outside of the US, as a whole and in relation to the number of adults shopping on their service versus the total number of people on earth.

And Apple? Their reach, like the others, is dramatically less than the "majority of humans." Apple reaches a billion people.
The fork has literally existed for 36 hours only.

It is easily too soon to say whether it will survive. You may have read or done technical analysis that came back supporting the conclusion that it will survive, but if Coinbase is taking the position that it won't survive, IMHO it is much too soon to say whether or not the same thing is happening here.

As a matter of fact, this can't be the same thing...

Ethereum Classic was the original chain. Ethereum(') is what the developers answered with, after the famed failure of the DAO, before 28 days had passed and the damage would become irreversible.

If anything, your comparison is reversed, but in my opinion it is nowhere near close to the same thing. Eth Classic tokens are called classic because it was the original chain (with the bug in it, "just like we agreed to," if I understood the story fully.)
Holy shit, that's worse than I expected.
This whole pipe dream of little Jimmy running his full Bitcoin node on a raspberry pi in order to protect against the big bad bankers/government/whatever was never based in reality. Bitcoin was always destined to end up centralized. Either in the form of powerful companies controlling it (development, Lightning Network, etc) or large concentrated groups of miners.

Whichever path it ends up going down, centralization is guaranteed.
Rust doens't have objects. (Trait objects kind of come close but are very rare and I've never used one with Diesel.)

Personally, I tend to call it a "query builder" if I think someone might be ORM-phobic; I find it closer to that than other ORMs, even though it's authored by the maintainer of one of the most massively popular ORMs ever. They've sometimes joked that that experience has taught them what not to do ;)
Steve Jobs was famous for his reality not being the same as everyone else's initial idea of what reality should be.

Oracle certainly controls the license for ZFS.

Release under a compatible license would likely see a ZFS kernel module appear in EPEL immediately; Red Hat would likely replace XFS with ZFS as the default in RHEL8 were this legally possible.

Oracle supports BtrFS in their Linux clone of RHEL. It certainly appears that Red Hat is swallowing a "poison pill" to increase Oracle's support costs (and I'm surprised that they have not swallowed more).

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E54669/html/ol7-about-bt...

With these new added costs, Oracle might find it cheaper to simply support the code for the whole ecosystem (CentOS and Scientific Linux included). Given the adversarial relationship that has developed between the two protagonists, an enforceable legal agreement would likely be Red Hat's precondition.

Otherwise, BtrFS has been mortally wounded.
I don't think equating LTCM with fraud is exactly right. They used an incredibly risky strategy and had their leverage blow up in a black swan event. A failure, but not fraud.

What is most interesting to me: we prioritized mobile app architecture and saw big wins as a result. Usually its hard to commit time upfront to app architecture. We've made that the norm (ex, 80% of our app code lives inside plugins). And we've seen eng productivity measurably increase over the last year because of these investments. In many cases doubled.

Cities were structured so that people lived closer to work. On the farm, you lived and worked there. In cities, factories only employed people nearby because anyone farther away couldn't easily/affordably get to work.

Unfortunately, with the spread of highways, suburbs, and cheap gas, American society rearranged itself around everyone having a car, so now having one puts you at a disadvantage.

That's not what repeated emails and calls to Amazon customer service said for a defective $350 Exergen thermometer. I kept trying to escalate the issue. Amazon Customer service kept apologizing, telling me that they could do nothing. This happened about a year ago.

Still shop at Amazon, but I definitely think more before buying bigger ticket items and I comparison shop now. Even though this policy change is great, I don't feel that I can revert back to my previous behavior of just mindlessly buying stuff at Amazon because of faith that they'll take care of you.

I am still especially wary of buying from 3rd parties on Amazon unless it's a throwaway item, and we refuse to buy anything that isn't Prime.
