It's even worse than that! MS spent $400 million to sponsor the NFL and provided many Microsoft Surface Pro devices, and the week they debuted, all the announcers called them "iPads." So MS threw a fit, and rightly so, and the next week all the announcers called them "iPad-like devices" instead.

I mean: "iPad" is two syllables, short and sweet, and MS wanted people to call the devices the "Microsoft Surface Pro," six syllables that don't exactly roll off the tongue.

That's not even getting into how they packaged all of those Surface Pros in gigantic blue padded cases, giving the impression that Microsoft's version of the iPad was big and clunky. Necessary for use on the sidelines, I'm sure, but not well thought out.

I had a lot of "oh wow" moments at the end of the 90's and beginning of the 00's with Flash.

A lot of users did, too. But it was usually along the lines of "Oh, wow. This page has flash. Well, I guess I'll go get a Coke while the Flash plugin loads into the browser and my computer can't go anything else. If I'm lucky, the whole thing won't crash and take all my work with it by the time I get back."

Good for you :)

I think your situation sounds a bit different, where the manager either isn't very technical or isn't technical enough. Otherwise they'd be able to see the problem for themselves.

What I'm talking about are employees who have managers who understand the value of refactoring. What I find is that the people who get stuck in and most unambiguously improve hairy bits of the code (with full support of management) are usually not the ones who complain loudly and publicly about tech debt.

Speaking as a manager for a sec here, what I'd watch out for in your case is to not be seen too much as a complainer. Rather than say "this codebase is shit why does nobody care" look at it as, "hey guys! why not come to my interesting 10 minute lightning talk on my favourite refactoring technique" and maybe don't phrase it as about tech debt if they aren't responsive to that kind of analogy.

Managers in particular probably know their codebase is shit even if they aren't very technical, but labelling things as "tech debt" is always tricky because it's entirely possible that the debt was created by colleagues or those very same managers themselves, and whilst financial debt is well defined and measurable, tech debt is just an analogy. They may not even agree that any given bit of code is a problem.
So your examples are a political faction that disappeared in the 1700s and a train in New Zealand?

Why would either of those things be bitter?

Even if you want to talk about Georgia vs. Georgia, the US state is almost 3x the size (in population) and the nation was "Republic of Georgia" as recently as the 90's.

Further, 60% of native English speakers are in the US and also this is the exact headline used by a website for/by US Southerners.

Should the headline have been, "Georgia, the state in the United States, has a coastline?"

Is this really a harmful or inexcusable example of US-centrism? Should publishers in the country of Georgia always explain that they're referring to the country and not the US state?

Credit cards are an excellent tool as long as you don't accrue debt with them.

I get 1.5%-2% cash back with everything purchased with it. I'd be losing money by using a debit card instead. Not to mention the $500 they gave me just for signing up for it.

I also don't to worry about when I get paid. I might only have $100 left in my checking account when I need to buy groceries if the day I get paid falls at a weird time. I don't have to worry about that sort of thing with a credit card, although it is much less of an issue now that I actually have savings than it was when I was in college.

If someone steals my debit card or my cash and uses it, my money is gone. My bank would probably refund me the stolen money if my debit card was used fraudulently, but until that happens I'm still out however much of my own money.

If they steal my credit card, who cares? I'll call the bank and cancel it and in the mean time, none of my actual money has been touched.

> If I need more I go to the Bank's ATM and get more. Easy.

Not having to go to an ATM is even easier than having to go to an ATM.
Many bank accounts are really expensive if you can't manage to reach the free tier. One of my local banks will take $6/month if you don't leave $100 in there. And if you're having trouble leaving $100 in your account, it can be pretty easy for a delayed transaction to trigger an overdraft, and then you've got even bigger fees. Do that enough times and either you'll swear off banks, or they'll blacklist you in chexsystems or both.
Where is the accusation? Mine was a question. And, according to other comments, the title is actually a click-bait (no CRISPR involved). Probably I used the word "trolling" with a bit of a lateral meaning (something like "make fun of other people"), improperly.

> Too many companies want to cure a disease with a drug.

Sustained treatment of symptoms is where the money is, cures are not. Putting patients on a maintenance drug regimen is longterm revenue stream.

> He has published about it and reverses Alzheimer in 9 out 10 patients and is currently doing new studies with a larger number of patients. TL;DR go to bed at 10 PM, do stress management, exercise a little, eat well and take supplements (blood tests determine which ones), and take a couple of other substances that our body needs, Alzheimer's disappears in less than 4 months.

Here is the study you reference, out of UCLA:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4221920/

Interesting results, but it'd be great if someone reproduced that at a large scale.

On a similar note, you can cure type 2 diabetes in nearly any patient by putting them on a healthy diet of 800 calories a day for about 5 months, and then slowly growing their caloric intake back up to around 1500 a day (which is probably about the maximum necessary amount for most adult males in todays sedentary societal environment). This is well studied, proven, and reproducible, but telling people to not overeat and to avoid garbage food is not a particularly profitable endeavor.

definitely agree here. i think i know a tremendous amount about ww2 history since it's a hobby of mine, but wouldn't ya know, through playing hearts of iron 4 i've learned a tremendous amount more about the era and by extension how it shaped the world afterward.

you're also 100% correct regarding geography. it's hard to get a real feeling for exactly how huge asia is until you're having difficulty getting supply to your front line deep in northwestern china. not to mention that i have a pretty good feeling for where all of the tiny pacific islands are now (attu island, i'm looking at you).

Maybe not with the wording I used, but I'd say it's actually THE most common argument around. The whole "machines can't love" line.

I was once on the balcony of the cafe at the modern art museum in Sydney, Australia, quietly drinking some coffee. A bright red bird landed on my table and was eyeing me closely.

I was thinking, "What in the world does this bird want? I don't have any food, and why would a bird want coffee?"

I figured out the answer. He made a bold grab for the sugar packet. It was too heavy to fly off with, so he just dragged it away from me, opened it, and ate it while I continued to drink my coffee.

The von Neumann Bottleneck Revisited
There isn't a ton of great public resources out there. For the most part, anyone who's writing smart analysis in the public space gets hired away to a club. It's exactly what happened in other sports.

But, I would read "The Numbers Game: Why Everything You Know About Soccer Is Wrong" and read the backlogs of the StatsBomb blog. That will get you up to speed pretty quickly.
My direct experience backs up your conclusions. My 8 yr old daughter went from sweet, confident and carefree to, overnight, crippled by worries about germs, wetting the bed and screaming about everything. From there, she rapidly descended into what I can only describe as being possessed… hallucinations, erratic and sometimes violent behavior, refusal to eat and so on. We did a spect scan which showed her basal ganglia lit up, a condition uncommon for her age, so the doctor said to suspect infection. Sure enough, her blood work showed that she had active strep and mycoplasma infections with no traditional symptoms (fever, etc. ).

We then embarked on a hellish journey of long term antibiotics, countless ivigs,plasmapheresis, multiple shots of rhituximab and endless battles with the insurance companies. Even after her blood work finally improved (and her psychosis diminished) she still experienced crippling OCD. Her care team at Stanford explained that her immune system had been attacking her brain and that if the condition is not caught quickly enough it is often necessary to re-train the brain, similar to the case of a stroke. We sent her to a residential facility in Wisconsin, Rogers Memorial, for 4 months and they did an incredible job bringing her back to about 90%. At this point, she is still on long term prophylactic antibiotics - the same protocol as for cases of rheumatic fever - and is doing well.

We met other families with kids at Rogers who did not improve even after 6 months of intensive treatment there. In one case, this was because they did not address the active infection in their child. Our anecdotal experience leads me to believe that it often takes a combination of intensive immunotherapy	and brain rehabilitation to get the poor souls afflicted with this terrible disease back to baseline. There are now several research facilities popping up around the world (USA, Sweden, China) trying to improve upon the protocol used to treat this. Hopefully the process will continue to improve and these cases will be caught sooner and require less treatment than my daughter did.
Same here. I tried the home page, but it's not loading either.
I just read in the NYT about an amyloid-clearing drug called BAN2401 that just reported results of Phase 2 trials (which test the safety and efficacy of a drug). The article starts by singing the praises of the drug, which substantially reduces amyloid scores. However, it then cautions that the drug's ability to slow down cognitive decline was small.

This supports the OP: amyloid may not be the culprit. In a phase 3 trial, the drug may not pan out.

Isomorphic - runs the same on both web browser and server nodejs.

Virtual dom - not the real dom tree but a representation of the dom using nested objects. You can diff two versions of trees (current and updated) and apply the changes to the real browser dom. This makes building pretty UIs super easy since a view is essentially a function of state. Diffing the virtual dom and patching the real dom is much faster than iterating over the the real dom for every update.

On the server side, you use the virtual dom to render to html string.

So true isomorphism is basically when the same code is used in both browser and server. Server renders the initial page load to html string, once loaded by the browser the browser again uses the same view code to make further UI changes without causing a page reload (single page app). Good for search engines and crawlers, good for blazing fast performance and instaneous interactivity.

I opened this page to recommend vim-adventures.

A few years ago I tried to get into vim off and on for over a year. I played this game for a few hours and all of a sudden I had the muscle memory needed to navigate vim. I've been a happy vim user for years now.

I can't explain it, but there is something about games that really reinforce this kind of learning.
> Take the things that are said about a female subject and flip them around as if they were said about a male. If they sound ridiculous, then chances are good they have no business in the story.

Exactly. Every time I read something that fails this test, I can't help but dismiss it as identity politics. If somebody does great work, let's praise the performance. All this focus on male/female, black/white, rich/poor, etc. only creates an environment where people can't think straight about the issue at hand.
Factorio is one of the most stimulating games I've ever played. It forces one to think about not only layout/design of a system but also the project management aspects - which parts to build when, when to take on "technical debt" by building a temporary "good enough" version, etc.

...this is if you don't look up hints/other people's designs, of course.

As a founder, Steve gets to take at least partial credit for hiring Cook in 1998, although I believe Ive joined in 1992 while Jobs was absent.

No, that's how you get endemic corruption, which eventually leads to things like people dying from deliberately tainted food and shoddy medicine.

#3 is because rats don't get Alzheimer's.

So all of our models are pretty artificial. And we build our rat models off of our disease assumptions, like injecting rats with beta amyloid because we assume that's the primay cause of brain dysfunction.

But it's looking more and more like that's wrong and beta amyloid is not the central player in Alzheimer's but just one of many. With Tau/insulin resistance/herpes/glial dysfunction/neuroinflammation playing important rules as well.
Well pretty much everyone does have some amyloid plaques in their brain but I mean that there is a higher level of amyloid in your kidney now than before you had the infection.

How can you advise synology when their system doesn't even have FULL DISK ENCRYPTION? As longas it doesn't have it, i wont be even interested looking at their platform.

Can you imagine it? NAS'es usually are targeted for business users, yet they dont have full disk encryption...

For now i'm using QNAP, in terms of possible features i believe QNAP is little ahead (x86 cpu, virtualization, containers, fde). It has all what synology has + more.

However their platform is badly constructed, most processes are esentially running as root user...
