3M Knew About the Dangers of PFOA and PFOS Decades Ago, Internal Documents Show
This reads like someone who works only with junior devs or not very good devs. I work on a team of senior devs who are very good and if there is ever an issue where it could be attributable to one or more people, those people will argue about who created the bug: "It is probably related to the code I added yesterday, I will fix it." ... "No, I'm pretty sure it is my code. I'll take a look".

The best way to improve is to admit to yourself that you can always be better. Someone who thinks they are the best has no reason to improve. Anecdotally, I've found the people who can admit their mistakes easily are some of the best programmers I've met.

Brexit and the oral culture of journalism
The statement you quoted and challenged is well-supported by facts. Have you seen the graph of contributions of "Philip Cross"? Very evenly paced across very long and predictable working hours. Nearly impossible that it is one person.

"Cabal" is a strawman. Think "PR office with outsourced help" for one much more mundane hypothesis that fits the available facts.
This one is actually correct. It tapped the $207.05 value briefly - see "Today's High" at https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/aapl. That tweet is from a previous time earlier today, just after the markets opened.
My role evolved in that direction, mostly because I was okay with it. Other roles can be designed to be cross-functional from the beginning. Generally it's a useful application of engineering time if it's a high-leverage situation with decision-makers in the room and meaningful potential deal value at stake.
10ml of alcohol. You multiply the serving size in litres by the ABV number.

200 ml of wine at 12% = about 2.4 units.

330 ml of beer at 5% = about 1.6 units.
That's actually really cool! Thanks for the explanation

> I'm curious how some unions devolve into this sort of behavior.

Well, actually there's a logical reason why only the union workers were allowed to do the mentioned things (tl;dr: company/university wants to shield themselves from liability):

- move furniture: shield the university from injury claims in case something goes wrong. For example, consider you moving a yuge chair around wearing flip-flops and you accidentally crush your toe during lifting. The university can now deny your claim as you were not supposed to have done this. In the crazy US system with its even crazier damage payouts, I wonder why this isn't commonplace.

- hang stuff on walls: the older the building, the bigger the chance that you'll hit some live wire, a water pipe or whatever is buried in the wall. Plus, again, personal injury claim risk.

- set up networking equipment: all it takes to bring the network to a grinding halt is accidentally connecting that router you planned to use for playing Counterstrike to the university network and whoops, where's that extra DHCP daemon coming from?

- amperage limit for devices: older circuit breakers tend to get a bit... trigger happy with age. Which means what will work fine now may be too much (especially surge) load in a couple of years and these issues are tricky to debug. In addition, I have seen a wild variation of power cables and extension cords when it comes to their current capacity (e.g. there exist power cords with 3x 0.75mm2 wire, these are rated for 2.5A tops aka something around 550W - but what if the component uses 800W?). Having someone trained look at all involved components before plugging them in can and will prevent fires. Not only to check if they're safe from an amperage limit, but also to check if their isolation is broken, there are scarred areas from arcing, ...
It's 2018. Not sure if it's really necessary to use something like CCleaner on Windows 10. The built in disk cleanup and defrag tools have been perfectly sufficient.
Oh sure, I'm aware of trying to shakedown smaller and likely less well financed companies.

I'm curious though as to the legality of targeting sellers and not the claimed infringing manufacturer? As a small reseller could you legally/safely ignore the cease and desist?

Also Pimoroni are under UK jurisdiction, so I'm wondering if these tactics are even legal here?

How are these the "wrong" people to be naming the neighborhood?
The phones were actually free back then.

No, the price was built into the contract. The few whack jobs that used a phone that they paid for outright got screwed because the model didn't even consider that.
You can also credit Apple for the companies that will never see the light because Apple had the tax advantage(not to mention some of its abusive practices towards competition/little guy)
> It's not worth what it costs to do

If you concede that it has utility at all, then all you're saying is "I wouldn't be willing to pay that much". But clearly the market will bear a higher price than you're willing to pay.

"Viz Palette also makes it easy to check if your colors can be distinguished by colorblind people. A browser extension like Spectrum, an online tool like Coblis or an app like Sim Daltonism can simulate the colors as seen by people with different types of colorblindness, too. In Datawrapper, we integrated a color blindness simulator, so no external tool is necessary."

The golden rule is so trivially easy, has been repeated in multiple cultural and historical contexts, and provides a reasonable basis for all moral philosophy.

Yes, it is. The case you're talking about is pertinent to the above discussion on why it's NonZero* vs NonZero<T>; you cannot currently inform the compiler in your case.
It's hard to say what makes a neighborhood nickname "real", but when I use Google to search for one of the "neighborhoods" near me and the first results is a forum discussion of "what the hell is <neighborhood> in Google maps, and why is it centered in swampland?"... then it's probably not a "real" area
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, exactly. As far as I know, all of the usual optimization passes would already be working to minimize them.

Diamonds do have some industrial uses, but those can be lab-grown with absolute purity, and for jewelry, synthetic diamonds are actually 20-40% cheaper than mined diamonds and look better, whether that's because of a higher clarity or colors that "real" diamonds don't have. So there's really no reason to mine diamonds anymore except to market them as more expensive and more luxurious "real" diamonds, which is just bullshit. And there's no reason to buy mined diamonds unless you look to spend extra money and want to support an environmentally destructive and exploitative industry; the very same industry that financed wars to get what they want and tried to make sure that lab-grown diamonds couldn't be called diamonds even though they have the very same chemical composition so they could keep selling their blood diamonds without ethical and cheaper competition. Luckily, they lost that battle.

And since we can't create gold in labs yet, at least not more than a few atoms, it's actually better to buy diamond jewelry (as long they're lab-grown) than gold at this point. Just don't buy the De Beers lab-grown diamonds; even if those are ethically produced, we shouldn't support that company in any way, shape, or form.

Is that really what Porsche owners would say, though? I've owned a couple of Porsches in the past, and if you asked me, my answer would have been "MOAR...POWER. TIRES...MOAR STICKY." If I wanted a Volvo, I'd buy a Volvo.

Or maybe I didn't get the joke.
I don't think so. All of the money put into to AAPL (via the public stock market) is all the stocks issued via public offerings * the price of the offering, no? After that they have just been traded without Apple seeing any of that money. Stocks given as compensation also contribute in some way, if we expand on "money" as to include forgone income by the employees.

One of the cities I’m most familiar with (Cambridge) has a set of neighborhood names and boundaries that a lot of people would more or less agree with. But they’re by no means canonical and not all the boundaries are especially rigid.

Plus there are plenty of sub-neighborhood names that do get used but don’t really define any meaningful community or other enclave.

Some cities do seem to take a more active role in defining official neighborhoods but many don’t.

In the early 2000s I spent $1800 on a set of 18in chrome rims for an early 90s Accord, the wheels were almost half the value of the car. I use to do the calculations for if I had spent that money on AAPL instead of something so incredibly wasteful. It's easy to beat yourself up looking back in retrospect at dumb decisions.

This is great. I took a book history course at U of T and this would probably be right up their alley. I'm not sure if it runs anymore (this was ~11 years ago).

I can tell you it was running at St. Michael's college, U of Toronto.
I dislike market cap as a measure of a company, as clearly a company can be wildly overvalued or undervalued. It is a not as if the "wisdom of crowds" has calculated the true value of a company.

During some of the pre-crash days early in the century, publications would trot out companies ranked by market cap, as if that really meant something. All I remember is various of these companies going under in the crash, despite their pre-crash valuation.

Revenue is a big deal. And profit too, although Amazon has shown you can keep that close to zero by reinvesting in growth, and that can work too.
Speculative investments are like gambling. Don't be sorry for Apple. Try FB...they may hit the trillion dollar cap as well..who knows...it's all just speculation.
From development to widespread acceptance QM didn’t take very long, because of course it’s possible to test to a high degree of accuracy. Flat Earth was debunked many centuries (millennia really) ago, but still persists. I’m not sure how much more critique needs to be done, or what questions can be raised. Most people are aware of it, and rightly dismiss it. The only people who think it should be treated seriously are people who, believe in it.

So why entertain it? Because of some vague ideological opposition to curation? It seems to me, from experience at least, thst it usually has to do with a desire to use “universal acceptance” as an excuse to smuggle someone’s own pet crank idea into the mix. Creationists don’t seriously care about scientific inquiry or bias, they just started using those lines when legal bans on teaching evolution failed. Fascists and racists turned from trying to dominate society, to undermining it.

Once an idea has been thoroughly and comprehensively discredited it’s a waste of time at best, propaganda at worst. Yes, it can be challenging to deal with ideas on the borderline, and we should always try harder, but the solution isn’t intellectual nihilism. Ceasing to use any critical thinking because it might invite bias is a bad idea, and I think only really put forth by people who’s marginal ideas have no other hope of being heard.

After all, terrible ideas are documented, but there’s no moral, practical or intellectual reasons to document them everywhere.

I agree with you on healthcare, disagree on college. College is largely a positional good - it's an earnings advantage by putting you ahead in the line of job candidates. If everyone goes to college, that doesn't advance everyone ahead in line. A good chunk of the effect of free college would be making it more like a high school degree for more and more jobs in the economy.

More important is to ensure that a college education is not required and not useful for social mobility.
That Honda EU3000is is an 3 kW ICE-based generator, that is, it's not a part of "solar" setup proper.

OTOH not having a combustion-based backup is likely not very wise if you live off-grid. I wonder how often do you need to run it? That is, what part of your energy budget is covered by the solar energy?
> How autonomous systems will make anything different? Why do you believe people aren't currently hacking cars?

Part of the reason is that, in current ecosystem, companies will find ways in which self-driving requires being constantly on-line and connected to vendor's server. Off-line processing is not in fashion these days.
Both the solar cells and the batteries have a finite lifespan, and will eventually need to be replaced.

Especially the batteries.
We encourage emotional response when it's the "right" response, and discourage it when it's the "wrong" response. For example, buying Apple products is "right", while voting for Brexit is "wrong". Many people are currently calling for restrictions on the type of emotional ads which they claim led to the latter. I suspect your 1984 commercial would not be so beloved if it were an ad for Monsanto or Exxon or something.
Good point, plus if you have to choose between having LIDAR and acceptable self-driving capability in 3 years, or no LIDAR and acceptable self-driving capability in 10 years, I think most people would prefer the first option.
As someone who works in the field, I'd offer two points.

Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion. - Ray Kurzweil

In my experience Cisco leaves acquisition alone for at least couple of years providing its brand and sales force. If the acquisition isn't proving its worth and/or if revenue growth is staying flat then start packing your bags.

On the other hand I don't like how the acquisition's leadership gets to absorb other BU's which are targeting similar market space because there is a lot of time and effort that gets invested into integrating teams working culture and style. Also the incoming teams fight to keep their product portfolios alive which leads to sub-optimal decisions.
What type of customers or market sectors bought those apps?
True. But it was funny to see how the Apple haters ate this up.
I remember when they had the $1 cost it was 1 year free. They captured you in that time and then you didn't mind paying the $1 when all your friends were on it.

Even if it wasn't Google they wouldn't be the first to influence the naming of neighbourhoods. Telephone companies used to have a similar authoritative role:

It was obvious to me right during Jobs’s demo that iPhone would completely destroy everything that came before and take all the profits. And price is much easier to lower than it is to raise, and Apple did lower it about 2 months after releasing.
All the money in the world couldn't save him... (that and quack remedies)
And Apple pays all of the taxes that they are legally required to, and so Apple is supporting the governments it interacts with.

Implying otherwise is dishonest and ridiculous.

Stupid EU Tax for video cameras makes my Sony and other brands have a time limit of how long you can record a video for. They even have different model numbers for cameras in the states vs EU to try and get around this problem.
Oh god this. GPG's commandline is so inconsistent and frustrating to use. Plus it has all of these concepts that hardly anybody cares about in real life. Like the "trust level" of a key in the system. There are 5 (maybe 6) trust levels and it would take someone really paranoid to use most of them. Of course imported keys default to the lowest (most useless) level so you have to change it, which is a pain in the ass to do from the commandline (you have to write an expect script or do a wholesale import of a "trust database").

And then there was Ubuntu 16 that couldn't seem to import private keys at all or must have required some kind of super secret commandline option to allow it.

Honestly at this point I've been waiting for the inevitable article about how GPG has been maintained by one starving guy in his basement for the past 20 years and it turns out it's a total mess and nobody noticed because nobody was looking. Basically OpenSSL all over again.

No - imagine if you had bought 100% of Apple shares for $1 at incorporation, and then sold 1 share for $207. That would make the market cap $1T and the total investment would be only $208.

It's more that the investments into Apple + the amount of money made by shareholders equals $1T.
