Somewhat related, I used several sets of unmarked DDR2 RAM (so I'm assuming either Chinese or factory rejects) back in the day, and it worked without problems for years. That was after a 24 hour run of Memtest, which I do for all new modules.

Really? I cut my OOP teeth in Java and IBM's WebSphere Application Developer tool, which was vanilla Eclipse with a bunch of WebSphere plugins that extended functionality here and there over the open source version. Eclipse always just clicked with me. It was not hard to learn (though to be fair I had company-paid training on J2EE dev using the tool) and I still use it today.

Maybe I am too stuck in the Eclipse mindset. I find the IntelliJ offering to be very hard to use with a proficiency anywhere near what I have with Eclipse.

You’d have to get it from the artist to be sure.

But there is not enough evidence here, to suggest that the new go logo lifted elements from that other logo.

Motion lines are not a coincidence they are a common solution to the problem of conveying motion in static imagery. It’s as common as using a cup when the problem being addressed is how to drink coffee.

A sans-serif word-mark is also not unique. It’s trendy. Everyone’s doing it. The major difference between the old google logo and the current one was the removal of serifs. For a company Google’s size that’s one expensive redesign just to remove serifs, since they had to get it re-printed on everything such as cars, signs, business cards, letterhead, clothing, etc. Going with a sans-serif is not an original design choice, it’s a trendy and safe one. And sans serif texts tend to look like each other in all caps with circular letters.

Ehh. I’m trying but I’m not seeing any peculiar elements that the two logos share, including the combination of public domain design choices, to the extent that would suggest one lifted from the other.
My point still stands. A dollar isn't worth the same anywhere you go. Looking at national median income isn't really useful.

Genuinely surprised to read that.

Ours was used heavily by three of us for programming, word processing and games from '84 to around '92, and after that just for daily games till the late 90s. Since the late 90s, I just switch it on fortnightly, play an old game for a couple of hours just for the feels, and pack it back. In all this time, I have never had any problem whatsoever. I expected at the very least a few blown caps but nope - starts right up like it's still '84. It has never undergone any repair. The original cassette player and CRT TV went bad but the Spectrum itself is fine. I had assumed from my personal experience that its reliability was a common experience, but just got lucky I guess.

Tesla's former VP of Autopilot Software&Hardware (oversees all low-voltage hardware, aka everything else besides High Voltage battery drivetrain) was Jim Keller[1][2], who also designed Apple's System on a Chip A4 mobile processor and an early AMD chip architect. So that makes a lot of sense.

Behavior you describe is traditionally attributed to the upper classes of pre-modern nobility. At least that's how popular imagination paints it (see Game of Thrones).

I am not so sure this was modus operandi for commoners when it came to marriage. Caste-bound poor village dwellers, with few prospects and no family wealth to maintain, I imagine married for love more often than not.
It's not about the money, I think you didn't understand my point in raising that particular detail. And it's not about looking down on the dude as a person, it's about maintaining a strict scrutiny of every single person who volunteers to execute and apprehend bad people for the benefit of our society.

It is important to remember, that is what Police's actual job is. Traffic stops are a revenue generator for local jurisdictions and represent the most reprehensible aspect of their daily jobs. Their real duty is to kill people for us so we don't have to, or when possible lock them up forever.

I'm not expressing approval of the system, I'm just making sure you understand exactly what it actually is.

So how does that apply to this story? Well the cop is exercising a whole lot of personal bias and judgement and discretionary decision making which _he is not authorized to exercise_. If cops were supposed to use those kinds of skills they'd earn a lot more than the tiny salaries they get, and they would be chosen from the best and brightest, but in fact police departments will refuse to hire you if you're too intelligent because they're afraid intelligence leads to corrupt cops. So you see, they don't get to be discretionary. They follow a script, they perform their duties in a way that shines like well polished boots, they collect their pensions and retire. Period. The behavior in the video is the behavior of a bad cop. It's a sociopath who knows how to push people's buttons while appearing to be controlled and calm. That's a bad cop, and it's important that we never let those people get away with their sociopathic behavior because it poisons our culture.

Giving a sociopath a gun and the authority and responsibility of killing people for you is a recipe for disaster.
I'm not too familiar with using straight up CloudFormation JSON definitions. Are you able to create reusable modules in CloudFormation?

In Terraform you're able to create modules that you can use to setup uniform infrastructure. For example, you could have an RDS module that aside from setting up the database it also sets up a replica, a dedicated KMS encryption key, IAM policies, security groups, parameter groups, etc. So instead of setting all of this up for every database you have, you can just reuse a custom module that does all of this for you. These modules can also be versioned such that you can upgrade and change them as needed without breaking all your current infrastructure.

Yes some professions have bigger consequences for mistakes. If you can't deal with it go do something else. Not an excuse for covering up your mistake. This is downright Orwellian.
Most Redis DBaaS services “expose a Redis instance to the Internet”, because they’re not running in the same cloud as you are (even if it’s the same underlying datacenter.)

As well, if my understanding is correct, the OP’s goal is to create globally-distributed Redis clusters, where lower-level solutions like VPN network peering have relatively bad performance compared to plain userland TLS.
There isn't any particular reason to privilege caves or other "stable" habitats. This is an incomplete understanding of them, anyway. Because caves are nutrient-poor, it is common that all animals there are extremely lethargic. That is not the same as lacking aggression or competition. Cave animals strive to survive as fiercely as anything in the jungle, just at a much slower pace. If a more active predator were to be stranded in a cave, it might eat everything it can find in a week, and then starve. Within months, other animals from more remote corners of the cave would scavenge its carcass and repopulate.

To visualize this, watch one of those speeded-up videos of starfish and sea urchins. At our pace, they are sedentary. At their pace, it's Thunderdome all day every day.
> But NPR did not contact the alleged author. Upon review, NPR cannot say for certain who the author or authors were or what their motivation was. In fact, in court proceedings, the people listed as "staff editors" of the site were identified only by initials, and we have not been able to establish their identities.

It sounds like they tried to get the other side of the story and got nowhere. Makes sense given that, if the NPR story is even generally accurate, it is not in the other side's interest to corroborate it (they are accused of slander). And given that the other side is geographically pretty far away from the US, it could be hard to get anything solid.
If you find Indian culture characterless, that's your problem.
There’s additional information there, but it still gave me more questions than answers.

If the problem was just that they didn’t talk to the author, that could be resolved by a correction with a quote from the author, or “x could not be reached for comment”. The statement that that they would have “essentially had to construct a different story” implies that there is something more complicated going on here, and invites confusion and speculation.

That sucks but it is possible your conclusion is not correct. Possibly:

- Vc was looking at you bc they already have experience in that market. Maybe they were considering hedging their bets with multiple companies with similar products but decided not to move forward. Now they are just too busy to get back to you. Annoying but not nefarious.

- how did you find your customers? Could the other company have found them the same way? If your product is better then your customers should stay with you. If not, maybe your product is lacking somehow.

- the VC is a D##K and did what you suspect. In that case did you vet the vc at all? Did you check who were their other companies for possible conflicts of interest?

With all due respect, an investor saying their interested verbally does not make for a firm investment.

Yeah but I mean it's quite plausible. There aren't many woman in IT, so I guess those who are, try to be especially careful, efficient etc. On the other hand there are these biases...

In fact this matches an observation an acquaintance of mine of is Post doc in the Physics department made. He is giving courses at University for small groups, that go with the lecture course where students get there corrected exercises and present them. So he said that women in those courses are more or less the only ones motivated and actually being interested in the stuff and that the exercises are also better.

I guess this doesn't have much to do with biology and Google Echo chambers etc but rather that people are aware of biases and counteract them.
Still though, "being noticed" is not evidence of anything. Studies count, people noticing things don't.

They're not generic, though. Those providers build custom ML models specifically from your data (and they pull in a ton of signals for this), and then have the data of many other merchants to work with.

You are mixing up cause and effect wildly here.

(Most) people don't pour money into houses because they consider it an investment, they consider it an investment because they've poured money into it. The fact that real estate is scarce combined with the fact that people need a place to live causes homes to be people's largest financial asset.
Stripe's fraud detection heuristics are neither sophisticated nor particularly effective.

Redis plaintext was a conscious decision, it wasn't due to laziness, lack of knowledge or lax security policies. And Redis is not a mission-critical enterprise tool. 'Redis enterprise'[1] is, and it does have security features.

Redis is a tool and does what you make of it. You shouldn't have such demands for an open source project. It explicitly states that it doesn't support that and even gives you a workaround and warns you about your deployment model.

The problem here is that this change is not a fork-worthy feature. This is PR-level stuff. This discussion is not about Redis being 'amateur hour'. It may be for some people who have no idea what they're doing, but the industry managed to go around that.

You're absolutely correct. This must happen.

Realistically, it happens when the residents of a newly dense neighborhood push for it to happen. It's rarely politically workable to build transit first.

Because it's really not that hard to tell users what data you collect about them, and what you intend to do with it.

One of my student jobs involved the 12am-4am shift in the library's 24-hour computer lab (essentially, be a theft deterrent and babysit the printers).

Part of my training involved being told to call a central number to confirm if someone tries to take a computer without any official email being sent to us ahead of time. The year before, someone walked in, placed out of order signs on a whole row of Mac Pros, and carted out 10-15 top end Mac Pro towers without anyone saying anything.

... It took over a month before someone who knew better happened to walk through and noticed the missing Macs.

Also turns out there were no security cameras either, as the University library and IT department had a years-long fight over which department needed to foot the bill for cameras on that floor (after the theft, they quietly split the cost and put cameras in immediately).
So more like CLIPS?

Sure, but they are almost certainly not just directly exposing Redis on port 6379. How would they handle auth, rate limiting, etc.?
The idea of using web views for the UI is valid IMO. The problem is that Electron brings a ton of metal with it (Chrome + Node).

A solution is to create your own Electron by creating the UI with HTML/CSS/JS and using the OS native APIs for the window and "back end" code.

Depending on your use case it might be feasible to do that yourself, or use a project like NodeKit.

The negative experience is that the interesting/useful questions/answers aren't rewarded.

It's bad that they are closed with harsh and false ("not constructive" on some of the most useful question there was...). It would be even worse if they were entirely removed so we couldn't find the answer.
I find it bizarre that you continue insisting that they are not owning up to their mistakes. They have clearly said the reporting was bad, their editors didn't catch it, and it's their fault. Removing the story is not "covering up." It is mitigating the harm they caused.
So not at all then. You don’t buy celebrities you buy their output.

It depends.

I've worked in the e-commerce industry for more than 10 years, not having proper fraud prevention is something that can bankrupt you. If you _know your customers_, it's easy to create a simple system that would at least notify you of possible fraudulent orders and let you take manual action. Even with the recent Stripe updates, we still see plenty of payments that go through even thought they should've definitely been caught, but because we've our own system in place, they get caught before doing any damage (and subsequently helping Stripe and marking the payments as fraudulent -- I wonder if I can get free Stripe credits for training their models using our own dumb heuristic based code).
