Snopes has debunked this claim.

"We reject the notion, however, that this “common” practice of U.S. farmers “saturating” wheat crops with Roundup herbicide as a desiccant before each harvest has been causing an increase in wheat-related ailments, as these claims are unsupported even by the research cited in articles making such a claim."

Apache httpd is itself a (patchy) fork of NCSA httpd.
The only cases I can find with a cursory Google search is where they have sued over seed saving, such as the story of Michael White. There are many farmers like him that Monsanto has trampled.

As for antibiotics, it is interesting you bring that up because it is a good example: people do not take their antibiotics as per manufacturer's guidelines, and Doctors over-prescribe antibiotics.

In people, antibiotic resistance kills patients, but we can limit the spread. In farming, RR resistant weeds can spread miles away, or to places that aren't farms (thus we aren't looking for them there).

What these both share is misuse and overuse of the product, and the manufacturer complicit in this by continuing to sell the product in ways that allow (or even encourage) the misuse and overuse.

HN has certainly gotten stories to the front page about antibiotic resistance being an ongoing issue, and how some antibiotics have fallen to the wayside due to people not strictly following the label (where, if everyone had followed the label, we'd still be using it).

I have also seen stories on HN's front page about how bacteria has done horizontal gene transfer to trade antibiotic resistances. This, too, is similar to RR weed's existence.
I have no qualms about commercial services either, it's just a very different model here compared to nginx (which is about the closest comparison project I can think of).
There was a time where I would have strongly related to this. Thankfully, now I've started using pipenv whenever possible and it basically just works(TM).

I hope it becomes the standard going forward.
> That sounds interesting but would probably be a paradise for tax lawyers. You just create a network of companies, one for each income band. That way, an employee never makes more than the average. Of course only large corperations can afford that so that smaller companies will have a harder time hiring talent.

You could probably define company, for the purposes of such a law, that excluded those kinds of structural shenanigans. Basically, define it in terms of its qualities rather than in terms of legal instruments.

I'd also guess that the IRS has already authored those definitions, or it at least a good distance of the way there.
Well a lot of older series haven been simplified in recent iterations. I haven't played hearts of Iron though.

It's hard to please older gamers by crating something that feels new, but not too different or simplified and at the same point appeal to the new masses of gamers.

As others fairly pointed out my original comment was off topic. Creating good UIs is a worthy cause as long simplicity and mass appeal is not valued over substance.

As for mobile games, I will disagree. There is a huge inertia and lack of creativity. Everyone is trying to copy everyone else. Just look at the screenshots of a typical game in play store. Same style everywhere, they've even started to not show game content because it's just not there. Yet somehow I can run emulator and ejoy quality games with no input problems. Clearly it's not a limitation of the device.
I just tried it in Safari 11.1 on macOS 10.13.4 and it works. Grey checkers is when it's loading. It initializes the board by sending everyone about 10kb of data which on slower connections can take a few seconds. Other than that my only guess is that it only works on the latest version of Safary and Mac. I used lots of ES6 features natively in the browser with no Babel/compiling/etc phase.

Handling delivery problems is normal and expected usage. As long as your lawyer is remotely competent, your ToS will cover that and no government on earth is going to disagree.

If you’re trying to do analytics, you don’t need PII - anonymized locations, sizes, bucketed prices, etc. will cover that and usually makes the process faster, too.

Look at it from a different perspective: does ignorance of food handling procedures or electrical wiring codes remove your obligation to follow safety regulations? This is the same thing for data: yes, it requires you to act as if you care about users’ privacy but that’s another way of saying that you’re no longer being subsidized by being allowed to fob the cost of negligence onto the users rather than being responsible. Everything which people have been talking about in this thread is already covered by accepted security best practices.
You really need to lay your code in away that will satisfy the checkers.

But that becomes a second nature after a while. I think all the edge cases that still exist make it more problematic. E.g. I was writing some SIMD code yesterday with a loop somewhat like this (simplified):

let mut v = vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0];
let mut s: &mut [f32] = &mut v;

while s.len() >= 2 {
println!("{:?}", s);
s = &mut s[2..];
}

It makes you scratch your head for a bit.

A good example of the challenge is that there's unsafe inner code in rusts own container code.

I am pretty proud that one of my first small Rust projects was a randomized ternary trie. Apparently, it does not use unsafe anywhere.

https://github.com/danieldk/rtrie/blob/master/src/ternary.rs

Not that I am proud of the code ;).

But in all seriousness, unsafe in container code is somewhat expected, because at some point you need to wrap raw memory (as e.g. in Vec). I think quite a bit of, but probably not all, unsafe use in containers such as Vec comes from that.

The value comes from learning something, but historically we get trite quips and who stroking puff pieces.

There's absolutely value in looking at these people/companies, but we need to contrast to less successful ones AND we need to stop acting like we have a clue why Jobs can be a jerk and succeed ("he won't let anyone interfere with his vision") but the jerk boss we had is a miserable failure ("he thinks he knows best and drives all the talented people away, of course he will fail").

Once people stop concluding easily disproven "lessons", I'll respect their efforts to search much more.

Go is mostly an answer to the problems of C. Sadly Go is not able to replace C as the introduction of the Garbage Collection makes it unsuiteable for many use cases of C. Besides that, Go has solved a lot of issues you had with C and as a result the code is much easier to read, write and understand.

At the same time, C is most likely not the only language in the universe and the fact that Go can not be used for all the use cases you can use C for, makes it even more important to compare it to other languages.

And while I like Go very much, I can understand that language wise, there are mightier wizards out there. But Go's strength is not the language itself. The language is just a cleaned up version of C which many people appreciate, because they know the C syntax already. But the real streght of Go is its enforced simplicity in syntax and file structure combined with a more or less complete, cross platform toolkit and a nice performing build and execution process. The builtin concurrent execution is a bonus on top of that.

How many compiled languages do you know that ship by default with a cross platform compiler and compile with the speed of Go?

The video has a personality calling Matt an 'asshole'. That was unnecessary. Once that statement was made, I do not blame Matt for removing it. Name calling is not the way to go about addressing this important issue. It is indeed unfortunate that it has tainted what was otherwise a useful point of view.
Even then, you can only work with it in teams of at least 2, all being certified to work with HF, only during normal business hours, and with a safety checklist a mile long, which includes checking to see that the calcium gluconate in the emergency kit is unopened and unexpired, and there are extra gloves with it, so the person applying it to you does not also get poisoned just by touching you.
Maybe this is obvious, but to informally install executables supplied by python packages, use a separate virtualenv for each one and place a symlink to the venv/bin/theexecutable in a location like ~/bin that you have on your $PATH.

There seems to be a lot of biotech companies that pay a lot.

Here is my theory why that is: first off, most biotech companies are started by very experienced people with impressive work histories, not by 22-year old drop outs.

Second, biotech start ups tend to pay very well, often similar or higher to the big biotech companies.

Third, the "virtual biotech" model is quite common with a small groups of leadership and everything else contracted out.

Combine all that and you end up with a pretty high median salary.
Jail for organised offences like this actually has relatively good evidence.

For most crimes we know the penalties don't really act as a deterrent, because people committing them aren't taking any sort of calculated risk - the smackhead burgling a house isn't going "Man, given the sentencing guidelines in this state I should prefer to go for fewer, high end houses" or "Really car theft has a better risk-reward ratio", so sentences for these crimes basically just take criminals off the streets, they're a form of revenge for the victim, and maybe there's a small chance the criminal is reformed if the prison institution is set up to encourage that.

But for crimes like industrial-scale counterfeiting (at one point Lundgren promises his Chinese counterfeiting team will do a better job of copying the next batch of CDs, this isn't one guy with a photocopier and a CD burner, he's hired a factory to make the copies) the actors are really weighing it up so there actually is a deterrent factor. Longer sentences for these crimes actually deter crime.

The court says (and the appeal affirms) if you counterfeit a $1000 handbag, that's $1000 in terms of the guidelines. It doesn't matter that your counterfeit was only sold to end consumers for $500, or that the raw materials cost $80, or that your profits at the back end were only $18 per bag, the sentencing is focused on the price of the thing you knocked off. Official CDs for refurbing XP Pro PCs are... drum roll... $25. The court said "$25 per infringement" and now this counterfeiter has to go to jail for a few months. Works for me.

Don't worry, I'm sure Lundgren will use his fame to launch a "legitimate" electronic waste recycling outfit when he's out, he can do some great interviews about how he's really changed now, and then the tech press can report with "astonishment" in 2-3 years when the waste he's getting paid to have "professionally recycled to the highest standards" is found dumped in a toxic creek in Alabama or whatever.

Creating meaningful API mocks – without re-writing the whole API
Python environment headaches have been largely solved for me thanks to Miniconda[1]. Not only do the environments isolate dependencies, they can easily use different versions of Python, and can include arbitrary binary packages too. It helps that for my work in biology an extensive number of packages are available from the bioconda[2] channel (with many non-bio packages from conda-forge[3]). Environments can be described via environment files, allowing them to be transferred to collaborators, managed with source control, or included with publications to support reproducible science. If you like virtualenvs, you may want to give Miniconda a try. One current limitation is that environment files cannot specify a source channel for specific packages--they're installed from channels based on the global channel precedence.

Incremental automation of any specific task isn't bad, especially if it can be introduced at a rate that's in line with the normal turnover/attrition for a job.

The doom-and-gloom scenario is when extremely adaptable and productive automation is deployed across many industries without time for the labor market to adapt, causing the world's population of 5-6 billion impoverished people to grow to 6-7 billion. Advancements in defense technology make it impossible for the masses to revolt and seize resources to revert to a pre-automation economy among themselves, so they die off.

A few hundred million shareholders and financiers enjoy their abundant luxury goods for a while, but they soon turn their robot armies against each other and also die off.

I think the comic should be more aptly be titled "Life before pipenv".

That's not what's grandparent wrote, it wrote that you have a right to know what is done with your data.

I think it says the OEM license remains valid after recycling as long as the recovery media accompany the computer (or are obtained from the OEM), but doesn't otherwise? So by that argument, he really does need the new license? I'd read the contract if I knew which one applied (since that's what actually matters, and not Microsoft's possibly self-serving summary...).

If that's accurate, then it's a pretty weird policy. I guess the license survives if you don't lose the media because they're afraid that anything else would seem completely unreasonable, but they're hoping most people will lose the media? And using the recovery media that they themselves provide (as a download) is supposed to be noncompliant?

No, he specifically addressed Laumars and gave him unsolicited advice. There are other variations of that comment possible that would have covered your response here but that wasn't the case.

I've never understood the purpose of virtualenvwrapper. I only use three commands for administering virtual environments: "virtualenv -p python3 ~/envs/foo" to make one, ". ~/envs/foo/activate" to activate it, and "rm -r ~/envs/foo" to delete it. That is really not something that needs further simplification. What am I missing?

I report directly to a billionaire, he is the founder and CEO.

Hasn't written a book, like most billionaires. Hence you don't see all the other ways, personas, etc.

My extrapolation based on working for him:
Billionaires are, at the core, ruthless and self centered. History gets re-written by them, because that's just how it works. The role of luck and personal decisions is constantly underplayed.

And mind you, ruthless means being like a surgeon in war time. Leg comes off, don't care about your pain. Co-founder has to go after 10 years? Co-founder has to go.

I'd think, based on my sample of one, it will be hard to find a billionaire that the majority would label a "nice" person. Polite, ethical ... sure. But not nice.
Research shows people support of basic different options like more generous or stricter welfare programs change based just on which party they were told supported which option (chosen randomly by the researchers). In the face of that it's hard to believe that people particularly care about deeper things like that.
> It's easily gamed by contracting out for lower paid workers. What if Facebook came in at highest median pay because it relies more on contractors than other companies?

People are working on it, however it's just very very difficult. Contaminants can have an adverse effect at 1 part per billion, so as you can imagine the sensitivity of testing equipment must be very advanced.

Currently contaminants can only be reliably detected with advanced equipment like mass spectrometers that run over a hundred thousand, require clean conditions, trained operators, advanced software, and routine upkeep.

Improvements in these machines would be a huge step in the right direction.
This is great advice. It seems like your brand image is just as important as the innovation itself.
