> They were no longer interested in chatting, and didn't laugh at my lame jokes.

Was this because:

A. They never liked your "lame jokes" in the first place and were
behaving without integrity in the past?
B. The politics got to them and they ceased to enjoy the finer things in life?

I like puns. When I was depressed years ago, I had a hard time laughing at any jokes, even really clever puns. I also became quieter and more reserved.

It's very likely you've got anecdotes that would support A over B, but as an outsider, I'm cautious to assume. :)
My cousin passed away tragically as a child before I was born, I'm now 41. My aunt and uncle still talk of him and cry every holiday. I credit myself with being able to reason and work through just about anything but i have no answer for the death of a child.

Edit: I'm not one to shy away from something difficult but i won't be reading this story either.
Try submitting again the URL without text. "self" submission have penalty here, so it's more difficult that they get traction.

If you wish, after submitting you can add a comment like "Author here. I have been working in this for 3 years. I'm happy to answer any question."

(Also, in the text I prefer when there are 3 or 4 subtitles that split the text in the main parts.)
The idea of additional AMP cache servers is that bing, yahoo, facebook, twitter, ... could set them up for their outbound links, so they can implement the same preloading behavior as an optimization (since they tend to have servers that are closer to users, and the connection already exists and can be reused).

Think of the Google AMP cache as an extended web site snippet on the google.com search, not as your primary delivery mechanism: To make this safe and useful for all parties (publisher, user, link service providers such as google search or twitter), AMP defines an html/css/js subset that is considered safe but still functional - so that (for example) analytics can still be made to work, which is important to publishers, but without working in the AMP cache hoster's domain context, which is important for their security.

Another AMP cache provider is Bing: https://blogs.bing.com/search/September-2016/bing-app-joins-...
It was not the driver's fault in this case. The child ran right into a residential road with a high speed limit.

The road should not have had such a high speed limit, should have had speed bumps, and possible the little boy's parents should have had a fence.

Punishing the driver in this case doesn't fix the problem at all.
2 different shows to phones/tablets = 2x4mbit/sec = 8mbit

Parents streaming video - assume 4K HDR (even though virtually nil content is in that) = 25mbit/sec

Twitch = 2mbit/sec (upload, but for the sake of argument, assume it was download)

Add in 10mbit/sec for browsing, updates etc and you're still at 45mbit/sec.

More than 55% of the UK can get >100mbit/sec currently - definitely not <10%: https://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/7918-january-update-on-s....

I know coworking spaces that operate with around 100 people on 100/100 internet with little problem.

My grandmas old village in probably the most rural area of NW england can get 80/20mbit broadband (very close to cabinet). If you genuinely think that uncapped 80mbit/sec cuts you off, I don't really understand what you're saying.

HS2 is a very important project and I would much rather that be funded than spending billions on slightly faster internet.
Ironically enough, they've grown on the back of their live broadcast primarily distributed via Facebook Live.
Yes, that’s what I say. Let’s get rid of drivers and let the car drive itself. Of course when the technology will be mature enough.

Same. I never truly understood fear and dread until my daughter arrived. I went from being a rather fearless person to seeing the true danger in the world everywhere.
Didn't earlier societies value the life of elders more than children, because they had a life of experience and wisdom that was lost?
Echo did well because it was the first to market and quickly built up an ecosystem. Google home did well because google and because of the integration with their video/music/phone services. There's no incentive to jump on the facebook bandwagon, they offer nothing unique. And even among uneducated consumers, they've got a bad reputation WRT privacy.

If their best and brightest couldn't see that coming... they're in trouble.

Only a few countries both have nukes and have orbital launch capability, so it's going to be an extremely short list of suspects to start with.

Then there are all the other disadvantages of orbital nukes. They can only strike on their orbital path, and only when they're in the right point of the orbit, otherwise they're very expensive to re-target because it means changing orbits. Because of all those points they're actually a lot slower to target than ICMBs. If they're in a low orbit then the orbit will decay and they will come down in a few years whether you want them to or not. If they're in a high orbit the costs are even higher and they're even slower to target. Finally, they're vulnerable to detection if they're up for any length of time. They really are a terrible idea.

Anecdata.

My older brother was as smart as a box of rocks. Even given that, he was an under achiever. He would couch surf and mooch off anyone. He would work a job until the first pay check then quit. If there was ever a reason to be against UBI, he was it. I would tell my mom he's like that first pancake that just doesn't turn out right because you rushed.

I, on the other hand, became an engineer.

if you already have a way of printing XML, you can add a "printer" field (that is a python function) to your template, like so:http://github.com/plaitpy/plaitpy/blob/master/templates/test...

if that function uses an import, you might also need to add an "imports" field, like in this example: https://github.com/plaitpy/plaitpy/blob/master/templates/web...

otherwise, that's a feature that can be added here:

From the latter half of the article, a purported example of a positive trending data point:

> Investors who reviewed the data also said the fact that people are sending and receiving so many photo messages on the platform gives it a huge leg up on iMessage or Facebook Messenger.

> The majority of conversation that happens on most chat apps is text-based, and other platforms struggle to get users to exchange photos or videos. Investors said that completely visual messaging at this scale is “a pretty big deal.”

> All of this backs up Spiegel’s own depiction of Snapchat. In the past, he has said that users taking selfies on the app aren’t being vain or snapping photos to post later on social media, they’re “talking with pictures.”

I get the appeal of Snapchat but never got into using it. The only social media chatting I use is Facebook and I do it with other old people who prefer text. Is there something about the Snapchat implementation that makes image-chatting more natural and frictionless compared to Facebook or Instagram? And what leverage does this image-heavy chat habit have for Snapchat, if those users can't be drawn to the other money-making features?

Garum was processed and distributed from Roman imperial colonies across the Roman Empire.

And there is no such thing as "capitalist and imperialist processing and distribution". That's just made-up bullshit.
Families were bigger, less emotional investment per capita. Human life, in as far as an economist can quantity it, was objectively worth less too. Nowadays we are highly educated value creators.

Bedrock (2012)
Well, it's real like getting struck by lightning is real. The odds are extremely low.

Everyone could let their kids walk to school and chances are nothing bad will happen. Though it may lead to those kids being a bit healthier, more independent and more confident. And less likely to die in a car crash - which is far, far more probable than kidnapping.
I was at a funeral recently, for an older person, but the same thought about losing lots of children very young came to me. Possibly inspired by the location, I wondered how much of religion was designed around somehow making sense of the death of children.
Indeed. And it doesn't work. Look at the sheer number of near world destroying accidents our military have managed to muster over the years.

I was actually working for a company that was a subcontractor to the USAF in the distant past. There is little room for individual creativity and ingenious problem solving in such a process heavy environment. It's actually like trying to work on an engineering project with Siri. The outcome of this is that only the problems allowed to be solved by the process are solved and none of the risks not identified by the process are reported, because it's too much paperwork already if you find a new one and you're not going to want your job to get any harder.

Ergo, all unidentified risks get taken because they are attractive solutions to many problems. Looking at the spanner incident pointed out by two sibling comments, the "dont carry heavy tools or anchor then when working on the big explodey thing" rule was not enforced and double-checked but hundreds of minor rules with precisely no benefit were being applied. Someone knew of that risk but didn't put the mitigation in place, probably because it was too hard.

Now military rigour and all of that doesn't like to be seen to be a turd sieve of a process so what happens is the answer is to add more processes, not look at the fundamental problem in the approach.

Overall, you need to focus on the key places where risk is considered high, but for most things, meh. Listening to people and making sure risk is managed effectively is a win.
Yeah, ever since the Middle English combination of orthography issues (eth/thorn versus y) and religious literature accidentally merged the old singular second person pronoun (thou) and the plural one (you), English has missed an important counting word. `y'all` might not be the best solution to that missing hole, but it's the best one we (all) have around these days.
There are many specific Turing machines for which the behavior can be understood without running the program, such as the one that starts by unconditionally halting.
“We built our castle 300 miles away from where they live, but if any of them make it here we are 3% more likely to let them in the door. The men live in a village 1000 yards away, but we’re 3% less likely to let one in, so it’s fair.”

This. Not taking into account actual age is completely wrong. Age of the respondent is going to show a skewed result (I bet none of your readers are 10 years old...). Does that mean the older sibling is "smarter"? No, it means young people are not your audience...
I wish it wasn't such a clickbait title as the information in the article is pretty interesting.

From an investor perspective I don't see how Snapchat is appealing at all. The general numbers provided here only reaffirm my opinion.

From an employee perspective, the workplace at Snap sounds toxic and to be avoided.
Sure, there are lots of foods that are legal but unhealthy but you don't have to eat them. It doesn't take much to get informed about the basics of nutrition.

The broad goal of FDA regulations is not really to prevent you from eating unhealthily but rather to prevent eggs, milk, meat and produce from making you sick. In that respect the food industry and FDA regulations have been spectacularly successful. Any nostalgia for a bygone era of healthy and plentiful food is misguided.

You could make a case for forcing people to eat healthier but that will be an uphill battle, both economic interest and poor consumer habits are aligned against that. There have been some success stories (e.g. outlawing transfats) but they are few and far between.
But, did he come up with the algorithm himself? That sounds as impressive. I wonder if you can do that with a ML supervised neural net.
I kind of doubt it in this case. If a person darted on to the road from behind an object that obstructs the sensors of an autonomous vehicle, in a distance of about a couple meters, slowing down quickly enough is probably not possible (though IDK much about cars, really). But such a vehicle would be able to steer away in some cases, but then it puts itself and the passengers in danger (i.e. hitting another moving vehicle or a stationary object nearby).

I believe autonomous vehicles are a huge overkill for what can easily be solved via decent public transportation. Public transportation via autonomous / centrally controlled vehicles would be way easier if the amount of private cars on the roads were reduced. And I'd guesstimate that a great majority of people using cars could easily switch to electric bicycles or mopeds. And that's a huge step forwards, as these vehicles are less likely to kill you if they hit you, and can steer away more easily. Add to that them being way more clean and fuel- and space-efficient in comparison to cars, leading to much more efficient use of both road- and parking-space, and of raw fuel. Also, this may be a local phæenomenon, but lots of large chain-stores offer delivery services, along with many small shops. In my quartier in the Northern European parts Istanbul, I can order from a bunch of chain stores, lots of restaurants (using yemeksepeti.com) and many tobacco shops.
What studies are you referring to?
And how are cigarette companies going to make money if they are hindered in addicting you and giving you cancer? Legally of course.

Software engineers are surrogates for ALL jobs because software is used everywhere. When we serve medicine, we should be obliged to take the Hippocratic oath. When we serve the military or intel agencies (with a security clearance), we ARE obliged to take an formal oath of secrecy. IMHO, many other S/W roles bear no less responsibility.

I think it's time that we software infrastructuralists take our role behind the scenes as seriously as those on the front lines do.

What do we actually know about the history of the "birth order" stereotype? It's possible that birth order is an old tradition, or maybe it was introduced in modern times, e.g., in some magazine article.

During the hundreds of years of observations, what were social conditions like? What social classes were studied? How did the high rate of infant and maternal mortality affect those conditions? The main change in successive children was that some of them died.

Yes, I understand that it probably burned upon re-entry, but then it's not lost but rather burned. "Lost" makes it sound like they lost in the ocean and can't find it anymore. So I was confused by the article.

Quick caveat before I get stuck into your post: I've been working in the hiring space for the past ten years with companies of all shapes and sizes. Your thought process throughout this post is absolutely on point but the big tl;dr here is that your proposed solution already exists in well established hiring platforms.

Feedback:

The primary difference between the process you describe and the process that most companies already follow is assigning points to influencing factors. In fact, some Applicant Tracking Systems like Greenhouse[1] already do exactly that.

check if the point values are reasonable - Who decides this? If it's a person who has met the candidate, they are immediately skewed by their own bias. If they had a positive experience with the candidate, they are going to struggle to see how negative scores could be considered reasonable.

Claim E: this process if well documented should be a valid and easy defense against allegations. - I'm afraid I have to argue the opposite here. In the EU for example, new GDPR regulations mean that this level of documentation must be made available to the candidate on request and categorically makes you more liable to legal challenges.

There doesn't seem to be a clear reason to use Snapchat if you don't already know people on it. I found the app itself so confusing, I needed someone to explain to me how to use it and what the point of it was. That is a UI smell to me.

As an investor, I wouldn't have much confidence in this product when top executives are departing after the IPO. The culture is exactly antithetical to the agile environment most developers are accustomed to and I don't see how they can attract talent. I don't even know how Snapchat could be monetized.

Contrast that to Instagram, a simple app based on Images and Videos with a clear way to monetize it (sponsored posts). If you can use Facebook, Twitter, etc. you can use Instagram. They can also easily clone any 'killer feature' that may come out Snapchat.
CPUs: information leak using speculative execution (2017)
When I was about seven I remember a boy named Simon who I used to play with, who told me how he liked to hide in the bushes beside the road near our houses and jump out in front of cars as they approached. I was too young to comprehend how messed up he was (he was one of those 'bad' kids who kept getting in trouble in school) and I went along with him to watch. He urged me to try it first but I knew better, and hid in the bushes while he did it.

I didn't yet understand how completely insane the situation was. The first couple cars just swerved or honked and went past without stopping, but a lady driving a VW Beetle was slower to react and slammed on her brakes, skidding and swerving and barely missing him. I can remember seeing him run out in the road, facing her with his arms out and an excited look on his face.

The lady driving was completely beside herself, screaming and crying as she ran over to him, demanding to know what was going on. Simon confessed and also told her about me hiding nearby, and I remember being terrified as she grabbed his arm and ran over to me, still shouting and sobbing all at once. She was (understandably) just completely out of control and she marched us up the road to our houses to tell our parents.

I wasn't allowed to play with Simon again and I think that was the day I realized that cars and driving were deadly serious, and nothing to joke around with. For me it was mostly seeing the reaction of the lady driver and trying to comprehend why she was so upset. Looking back on it, I feel sorry for her and for Simon's parents, because they must have had a hell of a time raising him. Strange the things you remember from childhood, but fortunately most people turn out OK.
