The comment make sense, since I'm saying "[i]f it were true [that diesels easily beat gasoline burners in a street race], Formula-1 would use nothing but diesel engines [which they don't at all]."

Definitely. At least, though, it means there's a path to profitability just by increasing volume, right? Like, if every new order brings it more than it marginally costs, with enough eventually you'd cover your fixed costs, so it seems like at least a rough validation of the business model (assuming their total addressable market is as big as they think it is). Vs, say, Uber, which is as far as I know still losing money on every ride and has no path out aside from not at all certain, majorly disruptive technical innovation.
I think I follow what you are saying, but I'd disagree with one thing: For consumers, all these devices come from the same company, and are developed with (broadly) the same process. Because these products are related, a consumer can make assumptions about both new and old devices. In fact, there is evidence that they do, if you take a look at secondary markets for Apple devices.

What you are saying is similar to telling a consumer that they should not trust Toyota vehicles to last longer than any other brand. When, in fact, there is a general trend that Toyotas do last longer. Sure, you aren't guaranteed that one specific Toyota Corolla will last longer than another specific Ford Focus, but there is a general trend you can rely on.

This is a great example of why it's important to pick secure defaults when writing software, especially software that is often deployed on high bandwidth servers or cloud instances. If no listening interfaces are specified then the default should be to exit with an error, not listen on everything!

I also wonder if you can store something in a memcached cache that looks like a valid request, then reflect that with the source IP of another memcached server and let them burn each other out...
Curious about this as well, is this paid at government salary levels (if so, which GS)?

You know, like what the US had in the 50s-70s. The kind that France and other european countries have had for a long time as well.

Large corporate taxes are useful too - it forces companies to reinvest (as reinvested profits are not taxed).

Browsers need to remove all CAs except Let's Encrypt.

CAs have proven again and again to be ridiculously insecure, and the problem is that there is no penalty for their mistakes.

So just remove them all, after a warning period: Let's Encrypt is enough.

Or if they want to stay in business and be trusted by browsers, then require them to put up at least $100k in cash in escrow for each certificate they sign, which is forfeit if there's evidence that any compromise of that specific certificate, due to their fault, has or may have happened, with at least half of the money being distributed to whoever provides the evidence first.
I think the problem gets into some chaos theory, the kind you see in weather prediction.

When the forecast says "60% chance of showers tomorrow", what he really means is that they ran a few billion simulations of the environment with very tiny perturbations of the initial conditions and in 60% of those simulations, it rained. In 40%, it didn't.

Tiny little changes in any variable in a chaotic system will, in the long run, lead to huge variations in outcomes.

This system with it's 416 planets has one outcome- perfect orbits constantly. But if you add a single 1 kg asteroid to the system, that would perturb everything ever so slightly. That slight change could result in the entire system chaotically coming apart from stability.
I want to see that simulation.
When these things come up they often have this sort of comment attached.

The comments always make it look like the conversation went "Hey can I get them private keys?" and our sysadmin hero either says "no" or our oppressed sysadmin afraid to lose their job says "sure, here you go boss!"

I guess where I'm going with this is - do people really do that? Either say yes or no? Where's the part where you explain the reason behind no? "If I do that it compromises xyz putting us at risk of exploits a,b,c and lawsuits 1,2,3" and then a more informed CEO either asks again or drops whatever they were trying to do

Introducing Uber Health, Removing Transportation as a Barrier to Care
If you get univeral health care then your light-years ahead of Americans. Even if Americans are getting paid twice as much as you, they have the risk of going bankrupt during old age because of extremely high medical expenses

You have to realize how fortunate you are. Everyone in your country is taken care of. Screw the high salaries of Amercians, they're not worth it
I found a couple of recent articles with some of the details here. It looks like USA was known to have submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) but only recently announced adding cruise capabilities [1]... but I don't see a mention of a treaty there, although the other article [2] mentions these new developments as a way to pressure Russian compliance with existing treaties.

Is INF the treaty you are mentioning being ignored? Is Russia's announcement a direct response to the USA's?
Disappointed that recent history hasn't been even mentioned in most reporting around the announcement -- it's a pretty shocking headline to wake up to without context.

Ah ok. This makes much more sense -- leaving a port open seems like an amateur mistake for a firm like Github. Thanks for the link.
I get the Electron hate but it seems it's a two part problem.

1) Electron needs to be good about sharing memory between multiple electron processes. If I have Slack, VSCode and spotify open, then memory shouldn't be tripled.

2) Better app development. It is quite possible to make performant electron apps. Apart from the memory hit of spinning up blink, if you manage your views and JS well, both memory and CPU usage can be quite reasonable.

3) I really do like Electron apps because it's a very consistent experience, no matter the platform. Developing for Mac or Linux is not an after-thought. It's always in Parity. I can see how that is both a great user experience and makes great business sense. There is a reason why React Native is gaining so much popularity: Consistent experience, write once, deploy everywhere, much smaller and maintainable codebase.
I figured that was the case, so I'm glad I could fill you in.

I agree that the hand drawn style isn't the best way to consume this sort of content.
> a typical woman now paid 84 cents on the male dollar

How can they claim this if they're not breaking out pay by job title? Comparing all women to all men then saying that women get paid 84 cents on the "male dollar" implies that women are paid less for doing the same job but that data is not included in the report.

Edit: If you disagree with this please tell me what I'm missing. I'd really like to understand what this is saying.
"Nobody"? Pot, meet kettle.
And yet I type "water guns" into Google and click "shopping" and get endless pages of shopping results. Or, you know, I could just go directly to Amazon and buy one too.

So much for that whataboutism.
I haven't used DoorDash but my experience with food delivery services has been average. As a bachelor I loved them until I found out these companies use multiple ways to add up charges. Most of the time restaurant cost in-shop vs cost app varies a lot. Then they charge some kind of "packing charges". Including delivery fee some times the delivery price is 25% more than restaurant prices.

When I talked to some of the restaurants, they said these guys can take up to 30% of the food cost. It means DoorDash et al, can take up to 50% of an order.

So, I find it surprising that these guys still struggle to become profitable.

I also think that this whole phenomena might actually end up pushing restaurant prices up to the detriment of consumers.
This reminds me of the semi-relevant story about the first translation of "The Hobbit" to Hebrew: four fighter pilots who were POWs in Egypt from 1970 to 1973 decided to translate the book so that their non-English-speaking friends could enjoy it too. It took them 4 months, and filled 7 notebooks. Even though their translation was not a professional one, it got published in 1977 and became pretty popular.
You don’t have to convince me. But I think it’s a bad sign if defenders of democracy can only get defensive when they have to face mistakes.

Is it really that hard to say we dropped the ball here, badly, and we need to do better, rather than immediately going to whataboutism about China? Yes, they have problems. That in no way contradicts the fact that we need to do better.

You gotta admit, it's a terribly compelling reason. And I do mean terribly.
No amount of military hardware is effective if soldiers won't use it. Live video feed provided by cell phones can provide a way for ordinary people to see the truth, naked for what it is, instead of relying on their government. All that said, cell phones haven't stopped the civil war in Syria
I think that's just called the service industry. I realize the jobs you mentioned aren't glamorous lines of work to a lot of people but I think your attitude is unnecessarily degrading to the workers. There are plenty of servers, drivers, etc. that take a great deal of pride in their work even if it's just a stepping stone or secondary income source for them.
