I remember a story from years ago in the news where a family (I believe the father may have been a jeweler) had their house burglarized. They had a house fairly far away from their neighbors, and the suspect literally brought a circular saw and cut a hole in the side of the house.
As a small time hobby investor, I basically gave up finding a stock screener that was affordable.

> mass is less affected in space due to lack of drag

Your intuition is closer to correct than many might think. It's harder to move massive things than non-massive things in space. This is because of inertia. Inertia may be more fundamental to physics than mass [1], and could be thought of as matter "dragging" against the gluon (and possibly other) fields [2].

No one is forced to use Facebook. Where is the coercion? On the other hand you want to you government as a bludgeon against a private company engaged in consensual transactions with private individuals, causing no harm to third parties.
If Facebook easily replicating that same feature is enough to significantly hurt the smaller competitor, was it really innovation in the first place?
Without making any moral judgments here, the guy has a valid point in that it's important to make a distinction between cheating in a relationship and sexual harassment. The former is a non-illegal, personal matter, and the latter is a criminal matter. I think most people probably aren't interested in making this distinction and would prefer to indiscriminately shun either kind of person, but this the importance of this lies in the #MeToo thing becoming a witchhunt. Sexual harassment/assault/rape is different that many other crimes in that mere accusations, convictions be damned, can completely ruin an otherwise innocent person's life. I could definitely imagine the #MeToo tag being used to shame someone, because it has reached witchhunt proportions. See the recent claims about H.W. Bush.

I claim to know nothing about what actually happened between this guy and these women, and all of the armchair judges here that are jumping to conclusions ought to realize that they, too, know nothing.
No idea what the law actually says, but this seems like a job for the "obviousness" standard that we've also got in patent law (for better or worse). If you're poking at a product to figure out details about it that are "not obvious", and then you build a product with those same details, that's "reverse engineering".

In this case it does sound like they were trying to figure out API conventions, and not real engineering details, but that's just my cursory reading.

I have no knowledge of this issue specifically, but more generally, if you're even a somewhat public figure, I think the best course of action is to have a discreet 24/7 bodycam rolling to record all of your interactions. We're at a point where your career and social network can be torpedoed by anyone merely making a claim on social media. No police, no day in court, just allegations are enough.

Occam's Razor would say he logged in, saw a patient_data directory or something similar, and logged out. We don't know anything really about how his perusal or lack thereof had him come to that conclusion.

Yeah, eventually. And probably only a few of them. All the people filing pool resources and bankroll 100 people to actually show up with the same attourney in front of the same 2 or 3 judges.
Remember, just a few years ago, someone would be denied healthcare due to pre-existing conditions and die.

This is an open and shut issue if the only thing you're worried about is the end consumer. The gov't, on the other hand, needs to worry about the system including the insurance companies. Changing the rules so that a person can forgo health insurance until they are sick is a sure fire way to start a death spiral.

It wasn't until the law was changed to include the individual mandate was the pre-existing condition clause even viable. I'd argue the individual mandate is so weak, that we might end up with a death spiral anyways.

> This is a feature of literally every API... Why aren't you asking this same question about REST queries?

Combinatoric explosions of complexity via a single query path are not a feature of every API.

> The 'Graph' part of 'GraphQL' means that queries can theoretically request connected nested objects of nearly infinite depth.

Thanks for this.

> just that MORE JOINS == MORE WORK and MORE PAYLOAD

So like SQL but without all the excellent query complexity tools or clarity around what precipitates a join?

> Why aren't you asking "why does REST deny clients the right to make as deeply nested queries as they need?"

Because RESTful APIs tend not to allow ad hoc graph traversal. When they do, it's because they're tunneling a graph query language. When they do (e.g., ElasticSearch) I (and we, as in the community at large)_DO ask these questions.
I'm a fan of Penrose's idea that inflation is actually the image of the infinite time boundary of a previous universe, and that there was no big bang at all, just a sequence of nested time domains.

Neat! In the past I've used perl scripts to munge into C source.

FYI, it generates symbols named after the filename:

Great question! The reaction is actually thermodynamically downhill and spontaneous (delta G less than zero). The current manufacturing processes use palladium catalysts that do have an activation barrier that requires heat. Enzymes are much more efficient and can catalyze this reaction even below room temperature.

I'll preface this with, I don't know who this guy is and this is the first time I heard anything about this, I am unfamiliar with the allegations.

I am just absolutely shocked by this

>I don’t have employees, I don’t cut checks for investment. None of the women who came forward were ever in a position where I could make or break their careers. Sexual Harassment requires that I have such power.

JFC, does anyone actually believe this? This is absolutely... Shocking. Disturbing... I have no words...

Shouldn't he have consulted with the EEOC before making such a bold statement?

https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm

>The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer.

It just makes it seem like he has no idea what appropriate behavior is at all. Really takes away from his credibility. Makes me think he's a total creep but thinks it's other people who are the problem.

Also, it stood out to me it seems odd that he used "sexual harassment" as a proper noun.
> Tesla made great cars with bleeding-edge EV technology.

What "bleeding-edge" EV tech? Tesla hasn't made a single "bleeding-edge" contribution to EV tech.

> SolarCity made "solar roof" a viable & aesthetic product.

That's why solar city went bankrupt and had to be "bailed out" by musk?

> All three are still thriving on a lot of tech advancement.

SpaceX, tesla nor solar city made a SINGLE contribution to tech advancement. SpaceX hasn't made a single contritubion. They are rehashing DECADES old tech. Tesla hasn't made a single contribution. And solar city went bankrupt and had to be bailed out - just like tesla 10 years ago.

Lots of people commit crimes and deny them. To me, the idea that an apparently disconnected set of women would all come forward with similar stories set off serious alarm bells. Why would a series of women all accuse the same man?

Of course, we can still wait for this to make it's way through court, but I feel your defensiveness is too strong in the other direction, going straight to accusing all the women of being liars.

It's generally a bad idea to do this, and an enormous headache to even attempt. If you want to do this, maybe you don't want to use an enum, because that's not what they are for. Maybe you want a hash map instead?
What we need to fix that is more of a future "not Facebook", though.

I don't know about their source, but on a global basis roughly 5% of H2 comes from electrolysis (any electricity source) while 95% comes from natural gas via steam methane reforming (chemical conversion using CH4, O2 and H2O to make H2 and CO2).
Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other. The end goal is the same: consumer rights get restricted in the name of "poor small businesses". That's been their rallying cry for everything, from tax cuts to trying to write homophobia/misogyny into law (the many "freedom of religion" laws that certain states pass at least once a year at great cost to the tax-payer, only to be struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional.)
A very satisfied user of Zerotier myself. Big thanks!

We are a 3 people distributed team, with a bunch of machines in various inhospitable environments. We needed to connect to each other, without a full on VPN due to the performance issues. Also, we needed to access these random machines we have (some of them are just arm boards in remote locations with unreliable wifi).

Zerotier came as a life saver. The other folks are not very tech savvy (in the sense of being able to configure VPNs, manage bastion hosts, etc). When I enabled ZT for them, one of them commented: "this is science fiction. zero to connected in under a minute, without any mumbo-jumbo".

You (and your team) have done a great job at building this!
The tech was extremely impressive, but it always seemed like a classic case of a solution looking for a problem, which to me it's apparent biggest successes as a tool in universities/research groups bore out. Great for Human Computer Interaction type research, everything else not so much it seemed.

At any rate, the idea lives on in Apple's iPhone X in a much more practical application.

> Don't forget, smartwatches originated from a highly successful Kickstarter campaign.

This is a big stretch, in my opinion. I think we'd have worked out that a screen on our wrist with useful info is nice regardless of what happened on Kickstarter, this wasn't exactly an incredible discovery.

There had been countless fitness tracking watches that aren't really all that far removed from the public want from smart watches from Garmin et al long before Pebble tried their thing too. The barrier was arguably getting efficient SoCs that could last a day doing something useful far more than it was anything to do with crowd funding.

Ouch, this might very well have been drafted by a PR team. He even manages to pitch in his new company in there. Such non-apology apologies have sadly become the norm in the valley.

All it takes is to understand that everyone's idea of what constitutes "harassment" is different, and to behave (or at least try) at a global minima. It's sad that he realizes that his moral compass is broken, yet seems to relish making the same "mistake" over and over again.
Just people finding out you have a bodycam is likely enough to get a harassment bandwagon going against you. It's creepy.

The fact that modules have taken so long, and still have prominent members of the community saying they need to be sent back to the drawing board, is a legitimate criticism.

> 7. Binary file includes. Ugh this is just such a dumb idea I can't even.

It's a useful feature, much used in the language I work on, allowing you to distribute a program that needs just one or two static data files as a single executable. It's also good for packaging data as libraries: for instance, Unicode libraries need a lot of random tables and it can be convenient to store these in binary form. Having to embed binary in C/C++ syntax as, say, ICU does just adds parsing overhead at compile time for no reason.

> I mean, this sounds a lot like how some women accuse guys of rape just to cause harm to them, instead of a rape actually having occurred.

It was deliberately crafted to be so. So if we want to apply some science to our guessing: what is the fraction of real harrassment incidents to fraudulently reported ones in our society?

You can "some women" and "because he disgregarded" your way around the disembling, but the truth is that if you really want to guess based on the evidence at hand, the guy is probably guilty.

You might as well ask what harm racial segregation does, since that is often the proposal, although they would never use the word segregation. But it is often suggested that we should set aside public space where people who claim membership in certain ethnic groups can be temporarily free from "Whiteness", under the assumption that they are persecuted.

Or, what harm does it do when people equate criticism with violence, and try to be "safe" from it?

This part caught my eye as contradictory. Privacy doesn't matter unless it's <something I care about>? I think that's precisely why privacy matters, and everyone has a different list of things that matter to them.

That's just wrong.

Oh and you can download the source for the kernel (I'm not sure which versiin this really mirrors and I'm not a mac guy so I don't care) here https://opensource.apple.com/

"Most telling however is that she makes it clear that her assault of me was premeditated."

There's nothing about her account that suggests this.
