I disagree. "Experiencing outages" means something more than any of the other phrases you used. It's also more professional.

"are down" doesn't tell you whether it's intentional or not (whereas "outages" is a word that people don't use for expected downtime). "are having problems" and "are not working" don't even tell you anything about the symptoms. But "experiencing outages" means the service is partially or completely interrupted, and that it wasn't expected downtime.
It seems like a classic money-chasing move to me, like when Big Pharma had all the money, and suddenly everyone did "bioinformatics." STEM roughly divides undergrads by whether or not they have to take Calculus. STEAM... I can't figure out what line that's trying to draw.
> It's especially egregious in this case because STEM is the opposite of arts

This feels like exactly the viewpoint that the "A" addition is trying to address. The arts are not the "opposite" of engineering, maths etc. at all, it's just an alien thing people don't want to admit they don't know very much about.

The STEAM idea has been around for some time. I first heard about it from John Maeda like 7 years ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yc-_Ei2Yto).

"STEM" by itself lacks an emergent, creative quality. There is very much a need for that in technical curricula.

The Earth has 5e24 kg. A 1e4kg rocket going at 7e3m/s is going to cause something around 1e-17m/s change in velocity. And that's considering that Earth receive all the momentum from the rocket's exhaust, what isn't true.

You'll need way too many rockets to cause an even measurable change on Earth's orbit in a million years. Try changing it to a few billions.

In the V.R. game Surgeon Simulator, players use power drills, bone saws, and other tools to vivisect a humanoid alien that writhes in pain on the operating table. As in most V.R. video games, players in Kitchen and Surgeon Simulator move in fanciful ways and are, at best, semi-embodied.

In this case the verbiage seems like a cover for ignorance of the subject matter.

I never read more than a fraction of the first edition, but I found it valuable. The key idea was that refactoring was a methodical, careful process that consists of steadily taking the code from one working state to another. At the time, refactoring was a dirty word at my company, and people didn’t distinguish it from rewriting code in any arbitrary fashion.

I just want to point out that what you're talking about here is corruption. To restate: For someone in Thiel's position, the upside to supporting a particular political candidate is the expectation that he will benefit from corruption while that candidate is in office.

North Korea is and I can't believe I'm using Trump's rhetoric to put it mildly a shit hole run by a an absolute turd and that is if we are lucky and he actually has a grip on the situation.

It's also a fallacy that some world wide consensus or justification is either needed, warranted or even wanted. The majority of the world's population doesn't care about N. Korea, nor should they.
The only consensus that matters in this regards is the one between NATO, Russia, China, S. Korea and Japan with a warm FYSA to India and Pakistan.

What if everything is just a dream? Can't prove it isn't!

OBEs are pretty interesting. Some are obviously hallucinations, people prove it is not the real thing by shuffling a deck of cards when in body, and then checking the deck when OBE. If the cards in the two experiences don't match, the OBE is not real.

On the other hand, there are stories of hospital OBEs where patients actually learn confirmable information about the real world that they had no way of knowing if they did not really have an OBE. One example I've heard a couple times is a lady who saw a green tennis shoe on the roof of the hospital, and someone later went up and found it.

It is also interesting to learn the underpinnings of the Frankfurt school. I had thought they were communists of some sort, but communists are just as materialistic as the fascists they dislike. So, I guess they are a bit more nuanced in their views.
I have a similar relationship with "Just", but in the context of requirements/implementation at work. As in "can we just stick this thing in a DB?" "can we just add a checkbox to disable this flooby?" "can we just serialize it and be done with it?"

These thing can happen by accident also. If it is generally known that there are only a few places in the world that you get lithium from, then investors are going to think that lithium is very risky and may run out. They don't tend to think, "Hey, it is the third lightest element, in theory there should be loads of it, perhaps we are only mining the cheapest possible sources", which is the actual truth of the matter. So while the people inside the industry might know the potential availability, investors on the whole do not and so the market only gets enough money to expand conservatively, rather than enough to kick off a magnitude more resource acquisition at a significantly higher raw material cost.

I initially took the addition of Arts as a matter of inclusivity and for that reason I thought it was an awful idea.

> I feel like this push to include more and more things in the label implies that STEM means "good" and non-STEM means "bad."

I take it that is the impression students are getting, or rather, teachers are assuming that students are getting, and in an attempt to curb any feelings of inferiority, they are making the addition. I think in this case, it is a dangerous precedent. University will cost the engineer as much as it will the liberal arts major, but you are lying if you tell a student that society values them all the same.

I suppose we would need to determine how to measure the value of a given field. Is value determined by impact on society/human civilization, or by job availability and salary. In either case I would argue that STEM fields rank higher, and of course even within STEM, some do far better than others, but suffice it to say, there definitely seems to be an agenda by stretching the definition of a very simple acronym to include fields that are probably being phased out. I seem to recall reading that Japan was no longer going to offer liberal arts in Universities.

It strikes me as those in the Arts trying to make themselves appear more relevant by forcing themselves onto to coat-tails of STEM. The thing is, the Arts are extremely important to humanity, and heavy-handed attempts like this just serve to cheapen their image.
I agree with the other reply - I don’t think arts and STEM are opposites. I do engineering at home outside of “work” engineering, and the work I do at home feels like a kind of techno art to me. I am personally curious about the history of art though we never studied it in engineering school.

I agree that adding an A to STEM does not spell STEM, but I think the question is more about the merits of STEAM as “the goal” versus “STEM”.

Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say art and STEM are “opposites”?

Because all of those factors add up to someone desperate for attention that would do anything for it. That speaks to credibility.

I personally don't believe they can survive with human drivers (unit economics) and I personally don't believe they will catch up in engineering and technology of self driving cars, especially after this (but I never thought they would, too far behind from the start). So I would say maybe yes.

But there are probably ways out of this for them. They will probably chug along for at least a decade and in that time anything can happen.

> "STEM" by itself lacks an emergent, creative quality

I think many would argue otherwise, there is an inherent level of creativity with regards to all four disciplines, in particular Engineering, where novel solutions to real-world problems can be both practical and creative, although you might argue this extends into the other three as well.
As long as AMD can make a card that is ballpark competative with nVidia on price/performance, I'll buy AMD. nVidia drivers, at least in my experience, have been pretty awful for awhile now. I hot-swap displays daily on a 7970 rig with no issues. I am terrified to swap the hdmi or dvi cables on my GTX 980 because it will completely screw up the display config and I'll spend an hour fixing it. Both rigs are due for upgrades, and we'll be going with AMD for both. nVidia just isn't good enough on any level for me to support this kind of tactic.

I think the better question is "Is this the death of Uber's self driving car program/".

Uber is likely to survive in some form without one, they have the ridership and can use someone else's self driving cars in the future. They will just get a much smaller piece of the pie.
Maybe just the death of the idea that self-driving cars were somehow integral Uber's business model. To the extent that vision was a major driver of valuations, and given their ongoing need to raise capital then perhaps it could lead to their demise. On the other hand if this gets them to refocus on their current business it might perhaps help their longevity.
Curious why you don't think they can survive with human drivers? Every financial report I've been able to get hard data out of seems to show them very close to operational profitability. Somewhere within 10-20%.

I personally don't feel there is that much price sensitivity in the market to make a 15% price increase cause volumes to dip substantially. I could of course be wrong, but it seems to me Uber is at a point they could be "instantly" profitable if they simply decided to be and decided to stop expanding.
The viewpoint being addressed here is what exactly? That STEM is a useful word with a meaning? I think rather than "trying to address" this viewpoint it might be more accurate to say you're trying to squash this viewpoint and prevent people from expressing the idea that STEM allows them to express. But maybe we expanded the definition of the word "address" to include this connotation as well, I have trouble keeping up with all the linguistic prescription going on these days. It's true that the arts aren't really the "opposite" of STEM, but if you took every usage of STEM, and replaced it with STEAM I suspect you'd change the meanings of all of those sentences in a very non-negligible way, which is to say you'll prevent people from communicating what they were actually trying to communicate.

How exactly is the Go GC easier to "triage" than that of the JVM?

Keep in mind that the HotSpot JVM does escape analysis just as Go does (this is sadly a very common misconception). The difference is that Go relies on escape analysis a lot more than the JVM does, because Go's GC has much slower allocation due to not being generational.

> man does it take a long time to figure out how Rust wants you to express what you want to express.

This goes away with experience. Certainly, most programmers get up to speed with Go faster than they do with Rust. But at this point the Rust language has totally melted away into the background for me.
