This behavior where companies do everything they can to write off every bit of taxes; then pay their CEO millions dollars more per year than they paid their employee's as a whole.

So then the rich start saying yeah we can throw money at you and let's call it a cool name. Trying to make them look better? to help you? I don't think so it's all about their self image.

I was about to say that adding water would be bad in the case of lye, but after some research it seems I was wrong. Probably watched/read "Fight Club" too often. Apparently using an acid like vinegar to neutralize lye is more painful than flushing with water and creates a lot of heat because of the strong reaction.[1,2] So the recommendation actually is to just flush with water for 15 minutes.[3]

I agree with you about the market. In this case there was a political candidate who ran on a policy which included raising the minimum wage to $15/hr from its current $7-something. There was a lot of fuss both ways about how minimum wage jobs were designed for high school kids vs there's lots of adults making minimum wage and they deserve a living wage, etc.
Amazon has burned through thousands of employees trying to keep their dumber managers in power. Amazon HQ is not American friendly either. Americans can quit and therefore are less valued there. Amazon has a large population of immigrant line and middle managers. It is dumb to think those people are going to move east to a red state. And its large population of immigrant workers at its HQ will not work under non-immigrant line managers. Economic conditions in India and China have improved a lot since 1994 as well, so not so many people are eager to become visa slaves in Seattle.
This reminds me of the 'fine-grained permissions' vs. 'broad permissions' security models. The former is more expressive, more powerful, etc. It also is technical, complicated and confusing. The latter is less powerful and less expressive, but people actually use it, because it's simple and easy to understand.

Expressing effects using monad transformer stacks might be more expressive and allow finer-grained distinctions, or whatever (please elaborate what you mean, I'm interested), but it's syntactically ugly (lift), it's confusing, and it's not clear that the expressiveness you get is practically useful.

In contrast, algebraic effects might 'only handle effects that trivially commute' (again, going to need more detail on this), but they're easy to understand and easy to use. They're much more likely to be a practically usable effect system that real programmers can really use in the real world in a way that doesn't convolute code with details of how you compose effects unduly.
You'll likely find the PostgreSQL docs[0] very useful. They're organized differently than the MySQL reference making it easier (in my experience) for reading stand-alone.† They're quite well-written and up-to-date.

† The MySQL reference is very useful particularly when you're looking to compare feature differences between versions.

There are a lot of things outside of technical issues that can go wrong - here's an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase/comments/6hcu0n/coinbase_c...

If you have control over your own keys (such as in the case of the "old" Coinbase vault) those things are a non-issue. But with the way how the new vault works a hardware wallet looks like a better solution.
Alternatively, the three components for gunpowder can be bought very cheaply and nigh-untraceably from hardware stores: potassium nitrate is stump remover, sulfur is used to reduce the pH of soils for gardening, and charcoal can be made from pyrolyzing wood in your backyard.

So if you spend $1000 dollars on lyft, you're ~1/30th of the way to a free domestic flight. Seems like a better deal would be taking the cheaper of lyft or uber, not chasing the miles. I think a more useful partnership would be with the drivers, because they're usually racking up a lot more money & time with these services than the consumers are, and it would be difficult to get something useful out of this when you're getting a ~1% reward (miles valued about 1c/point) without doing a lot of volume.

I evaluated Go a few months ago for a web project, but it seemed as if there was a lot of manual work involved in mapping objects in and out of a MySQL database and in and out of JSON (basically, 50% of my day-to-day back end work). It just seemed too arduous.

The second thing that bothered me was that an edge-case bug in one of my HTTP handlers paniced the app. If that had happened in production while under load, many users would have gotten an error due to a bug in one user's request.

So, serious questions:

- What is the best way to map objects to/from JSON?
- What is the best way to map objects to/from a database?
- What is the best way to prevent a request from crashing the server and killing a bunch of unrelated requests?
Not at the moment, but I bet it will be soon...
$25,000 spent on Lyft gives you one domestic roundtrip. Assuming $10 per ride, it's 2500 rides, or 10 years to earn a ticket if you take Lyft 250 days per year.
There are a few language enhancements. It's true the 9 isn't a revolutionary release for the Java language, but there are several useful changes.

I disagree. It's a lot harder to see what code using them does at a glance, because the names are meaningless. 'forM' means what, exactly? Nothing. It means nothing until you apply it to a particular monad.

It's trivial to read a loop, because it's right there. It's trivial to tell if it has any effects, because they're notated right there as algebraic effects.

This Study Is Intentionally Left Blank
Except that means that if the debtor defaults, then the creditor loses all their savings. And the problem here is that what you have in large nations is a gigantic, interlocked network where every creditor is a debtor to many other lenders.

The result is that a limited number of debtor defaults can start a chain-reaction that freezes the whole system. Then you have a financial crash, and history shows these usually take a decade or more to get out of. Or is it your view that there is something special about the Chinese such that that couldn't possible happen there.
SQL Server does use it's own mini-OS layer and this what lets it virtualize and run on Linux too, so there are higher system requirements.

It seems you're just guessing on that last part though - SQL Server has been in production for decades and already has lots of tooling and there are even new CLIs available for the Linux environment. Production SQL Server comes with support from MS, you're definitely not on your own nor will they just tell you to run it on Windows, this is simply not how enterprise support works and they would have a hard time staying in business with answers like that.

We can discuss support issues but it's best to leave the assumptions and hyperbole out of it.

Nowadays, people post almost everything happening in and around their life on various social-media platforms.

So, I am working on an AI assistant which will return more personalized results by searching for user queries in user's, user's friends', local and global social-media posts.

For example if you want to know whether your friend would be going to that party or not, you can ask this assistant and it will search for his/her social-media posts and will return with relevant results (after taking user's permission).

Please let me know your feedback and further suggestions.

Duck and Cover was widely derided, but it would have saved countless lives in the event of a nuclear attack.

We learned from Hiroshima and Nagasaki that a very large proportion of deaths and the majority of injuries in a nuclear attack are caused by flying glass fragments and flash burns. The effects of both injuries are greatly exacerbated by the relative paucity of medical care - an injury that might be completely survivable in peacetime could prove fatal if medical care is unavailable.

People at the hypocenter would be killed instantly, but a far greater number of people at the edge of the blast radius could be protected by remarkably simple means. Covering yourself with coat or blanket could be the difference between being completely incinerated and surviving unharmed. Crouching under a desk offers remarkably good protection from falling and flying debris.
From a practical point of view, the only semi-common thermites that can actually explode are copper and silver. However, these thermites do not "detonate" as in the definition. They merely deflagrate extremely quickly, quickly enough to fool an observer but not in the true physical sense.

Kubernetes is built on top of docker, etcd is used as a secret store for kube, and terraform is for infra as code. Google cloud platform offers kubernetes as a service. CoreOS Tectonic has the AWS plugin, and Azure has "Container Service".

Obama laughed (rightly) when Romney invoked Russia as the greatest threat to the US during the campaign.

The narrative has drastically changed in the lest year or so --the psy-ops, I think, has been vastly over-emphasized given that we, the west, do similar ops against Russia. Given, I think we are the better guys in many ways, but it's not like Russia is doing an order of magnitude worse.

If the US, Russia and China could align... the would would be a better place. No nonsense in the ME, or NK, Iran and any other "wedge" region.

The problem with your logic is that you would need an extra $3,000,000,000,000 ON TOP of the value currently paid out to the workforce (someone needs to create all that value), unless again you'd like to rob the workforce of their labor to redistribute those not providing labor?

How to Get Your First Software Development Job (Or Internship)
your comment is shit. shame on you.
Your’re missing his point. The issue is not the purpose of the effort, that’s clear, everyone agrees. The question I infer is closer to be something like: If crashing bugs are inadvertently found in software, from whatever source, what would you expect the interest/motivation/urgency to be in fixing them?

It’s a good question but I’m not sure the answer is clear. On small projects I’d make the case that 100% of reproducible crashes should be fixed, always. However when the “project” approaches operating system scale and complexity, most pure principle policies like that cease to exist for practical reasons. Most decisions, not just bug fixing, are about tradeoffs/cost benefit considerations due to the simple realization you can’t boil the ocean.
He's spiraling.
You're right: judged only by those facts you give, this would seem to be absolutely insane.

And that's why you must be wrong. S&P may have made their fair share of questionable decisions, but they just aren't completely stupid.

I'm not saying that these ratings are gospel, now. Or that S&P isn't succumbing to, for example, political pressure in their ratings of the US. But presenting your case in such a way only damages your credibility, not theirs.

The alien weapons also destroy the universe, although in some cases they are able to escape before the destruction is complete. This was in fact the endgame strategy for alien races in the novels: Figure out a way to reform yourself in a lower dimension then destroy the dimension you are in, except that ended up being a completely retarded idea because there are already races in the lower dimensions and far far fewer resources for your race to exploit.

I didn't feel it was obvious.

The top post on HN right now is about PostgreSQL 10 features, of which the very first feature listed is "Native Partitioning" (and it's not about sharding). Relational databases have been using the term "partitioning" for a very long time so if you're going to compare features across comparable systems, you need to use the correct terminology.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/partitioning.html

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/ddl-partitioning....

Meanwhile the feature you're referring to is sharding and each of these databases refer to it accordingly:

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/sharding/

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Built-in_Sharding (via forks)

https://www.mysql.com/products/cluster/scalability.html (via a separate product)

Let's also keep in mind we're discussing MongoDB which has a very rich history of using misleading benchmarks to showcase their product (e.g. benchmarking the number of requests/sec the server can select() versus the fsync() rate of a RDBMS), so I think it's useful to be extremely clear what we're talking about.
