Right, and who cares about those snowflakes in California ;)

But damn, what about when we see lots more hurricanes and tornadoes? Maybe some sour grapes?
I can only imagine how much work this must have been (and not very accurately, I think). I did not have time to look over it in great detail, but I like what I have seen.

Thank you for creating and sharing this!
The market is not created by some third party. It simply represents the meeting point between what people are willing to buy for and what people are willing to sell for. That postdocs are willing to work for scraps relative to their skill level is indicative that supply has gone way beyond demand. For instance software developers also face similar issues of what you're mentioning with lower wage foreign workers willing to accept much less thus driving wages down, yet nonetheless high demand keeps wages high.

This is not particularly controversial and some have even suggested that starting to increasingly restrict the number of graduate students admitted could be the right path forward, as mentioned in this article [1] from John Hopkins: These and other suggestions for career preparation make one implicit assumption: that the nation needs the current number of biomedical scientists. A radically different approach to balancing the biomedical workforce equation would be to simply reduce the “supply” — that is, admit fewer students into science graduate programs. The article ends on what was apparently supposed to be an up beat note suggesting that instead of such draconian measures, perhaps we can look to people who are doing things like aiming to go teach high school science, with a doctorate.

Once again DRM is the root cause here. There are many great pdf readers that support Annotations with the Apple Pencil, but it is not possible to import the book. And unfortunately (especially for non fiction) there is a lack of services which provide drm free ebooks.
"Welcome to the craft where all parts are made by the lowest bidder" is the one citation I remember. The Russians were greeted this way.

The rule is the harder dilation gets better power reading.

The strongest dilation is 1% Atropine that wears out in 14 days, but gives you the most correct power.

Milder dilation lasts for 3-4 days, but is about 70% correct, so you could just do some maths to extrapolate (even though its not not ideal).

Weakest dilation lasts for hours but the lowest accuracy of the three options.

Anyway next time ask for 3 days dilation just to be extra sure and take 2 days off.
I don't think this is about what can be found on Wikipedia. The reality here is that this company doesn't seem to create it's own games, but habitually acquires creative companies.

More to the point, it seems to be little more than a gateway company, selectively permitting the operation of a limited selection of pre-approved properties to operate within the confines of a planned ecosystem that is slightly more advanced than an artificial monopoly.

That companies acquired by this shell entity have continues to produce games after being acquired, should not be regarded as the shell company creating games itself.
Are you referring to the ailing Belgian reactors? The ones with the cracks, the mysterious sabotage and the endless string of non-critical malfunctions? The ones that are currently offline until the end of the year for maintenance?
Even the Wells Fargo execs responsible for actually breaking laws and stealing from customers got their compensation. If you can afford a top drawer law firm then why not steal everything that isn’t nailed down? There is no rule of law once you get to this level.
>Our trust is already eroding due to fake reviews, counterfeit items, and Amazon Marketplace nonsense. Racheting up ads will make us further question where your loyalties lie.

It doesn't matter until it matters in aggregate and affects share price. Whenever Amazon refers to "the customer" remember what they really mean is "the customer's money," which they're still getting plenty of.

According to Rockets and People by Chertok, they've solved that issue in late 70s by properly organizing the process and setting the right balance between personal responsibility and root cause analysis. However, in the last decade or so the industry deteriorated significantly, lost much of its institutional memory, and the problem reappeared due to low wages and clueless management.
Sounds like a terrible place to work: https://www.inc.com/magazine/201808/burt-helm/hellofresh.htm...
Did you practice it for 6 weeks before writing it off as a technique? Because that's supposed to happen ..
Yeah modafinil is a weird one, it just feels to me like I've had 4 or 5 coffees, but can sleep alright in the evening. I find it makes me grumpy if I get interrupted though so it can make working on some teams harder.
That's brilliant! I noticed on vacations (before smartphones) where would spend most of the time looking at the horizon, that after less than a week, my eyesight would be so much clearer.
Amazon knows way more about its users than Google and Facebook. It is easy to deduce a lot of information from my purchase history, my reviews, my 'helpful' clicks, my address, etc.

I can switch to DDG, Telegram, and Yahoo Mail, but I certainly will continue do shopping on Amazon - there is no easy escape from it and I wonder why?
This was eye opening (pun not intended) and make me a bit worried as a recreational cyclist - many of my clothes are dark and it seems worth investing in brighter ones.

As a driver, I found that using BGE setting of the side mirrors (it's wider out, slightly overlapping with rearview mirror), coupled with keeping an eye on the road gives me a much better situational awareness, and prevents the need to turn my head in many cases - "Nope, there's a car in my blind spot, not changing lanes yet". It's a minor convenience but really helps with fatigue of the neck muscles, and keep my eyes forward, so I can react if anything happens in front of me. I've been driving BGE for nearly 10 years now, and I feel a lot safer that way. It takes some getting used to not seeing the side of the car, so if you consider doing it, I'd recommend getting used to it on a chill road, before getting on the highway.

I'm the same. I keep progressing through this sci-fi story as a spaceship captain.
Yep deeply scary. Reading the bit about the eye patch really sent a chill down my spine - "Oh in case you are permanently blinded in one eye, take the eye patch off and you can continue to fly your plane until you have to crash land it somewhere since all the airports have been totally destroyed and everyone you know was incinerated. Sir yes sir."
In Poland, we consider this THE Soviet Work Culture and everytime it is encountered, it is ridiculed. Unfortunately, it persists.
Yes, the more they wait to migrate, the more painful it will be

And of course expect the usual dissing by the 'frameheads on how these new systems are frail and how their old systems "are much better and foolproof" (they aren't)

What does it matter if it was a Russian or not? Obviously that person should have reported it, but I'm surprised that there wasn't more QC. I imagined at least a few people inspect everything after it's "ready to go".
If nothing else, that saga gave us the perfect case study in what can go wrong with total cut-over migrations, rather than incremental releases, in complex systems
Interesting. I wonder if the full story on this will ever come out. Are these truly the end times? They are for me, I know, but I'm curious.
Thinly veiled Russia-hate? Its not like US engineers are immune to such ridiculous mistakes. Why make this a Russia thing?
Maybe useless, but the article is extremely intersting and easy to read. One can definitely try to read it.

Amusing anecdote : During the very beginning of the 90’s, I happened to code a lot of very optimized code (3D engines) in assembler.

I was doing assembler because, well, that was the de facto way to get speed. So at that time, I forgot about the possibility
of writing things in C (and I had not access to a C compiler) -- a bit dumb of me. So, one day, tired of writing tedious assembler,
and at the same time discovering C, I rewrote one of my assembler program in C. BIG suprise, the C code was much
faster than my assembler. So I disassembled the generated code and understood what the compiler did. First, it used
very clever bit manipulations (unknown to me) to alter some comparisons I did. Second, it understood that
because my code was just a test that didn’t produce anything, then it didn’t need to generate any code. So
a big chunk of my C code was just not compiled (and rightly so). So the resulting program, was mostly doing nothing.

It was the first time I saw what an optimizing compiler means, I was totally blown away. I was beaten
at the optimization game by a program :-)

The other thing I understood that day is that an optimizer is no magic. It just carefully applies little
knowledge about optimization on little cases here and there. It basically automates what one would have
done to optimize some assembler code by hand (except for algorithmic optimization). It also means that
one can sleep well knowing that 90% of the chores of optimization are done automatically in a reliable
way. We all take that for granted but when I was around 20 years old, it was just super exciting.
That perfectly describes Java (and C#).

It's the land of mediocritity.
If you see Berlin startup from Rocket Internet (like HelloFresh is) you can safely assume it has horrible working conditions.
I met a Trusted Certified Binary Options Recovery Expert through there happy again client's recovery reviews that they've recently helped to put smiles back on their faces after been cheated and scammed of their hard earned money . I invested with four binary companies and lost all of my investments totalling £720,000 Then I was contacted by someone offering help – a company who specializes in binary recovery. I was scammed by them again. By the end of it all I had lost all of my savings and I was in serious debt. I was desperate for help and that made me vulnerable to recovery scams. My husband is not around anymore and I have an 8 year old son with learning difficulties. The pressure of being a single, working mother with a child who needs so much additional attention and support became overwhelming for me. I also felt too traumatized to trust anyone else and I was very afraid, but I had no choice other than to trust Viapreferred@GMAIL.COM. He has been incredibly helpful and supportive and also very understanding about all of my fear and concerns he helped recover all of my funds back within a week using unethical means OR SKYPE contact - Parker joas . I really hope that others do not have to go through what I did, and I wish that I had realized before things were so bad that I was being scammed.

The nearside Puffin crossing display can be obscured by crowds. The reason they are mounted low is cost: the same unit can be used for command and display.

They therefore require looking down, whereas farside displays keep the head lifted which makes it easier to transition to looking at the road. In all directions. Which is why nearside displays aren't used at junctions.

Puffin crossings are an excellent example of a system being redesigned to reduce cost and then having bogus UX 'justifications' pasted over it.
for some reason I was reading it as a framework for dynamically analyzing webpack.
I've done many of these things, documenting the arguments, evangelizing and building up enthusiasm in my team (I didn't write the Elixir system alone), etc. but was still told by our lead engineer and technical managers not to use the language for new systems. Some arguments I heard:

* Even if we can find some people excited about a minor language right now, what about in 10 years? The language could be abandoned and nobody would want to learn it. If we use a popular language instead, we know we'll be able to maintain the systems and hire people for a decade or more.

* It's already hard enough to hire average engineers fresh out of school, let alone experienced, polyglot ones.

* We couldn't reuse internal libraries in popular languages so our systems would take more work, and other teams wouldn't be able to help us.

* Kubernetes / Kafka / Redis are language-agnostic and more powerful than OTP supervision / messaging / ETS.

IMHO some of these arguments are flawed, but it's been difficult getting the more resistant folks to actually consider the pros and cons and not just toss the idea aside. Your comment about hosted languages is a great point though, and your post makes plenty of sense. Thanks for the motivation :)

I wonder why Reuters only expect 100K Model 3 sales in 2019.

They made two clear points in the article as to why Model 3 sales might not meet the most optimistic predictions. The first is that the Model 3 through most of 2019 will almost certainly be more expensive than first announced and secondly that the ~$50k electric vehicle market is set to see a lot more competition. Finally (not mentioned in the article) Tesla does have a history of missing production targets so it makes sense to discount any number given in an earning call.

All the being said it would have been nice I've they'd spent half a paragraph unpacking that number.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been building a fantasy world for the last decade and it's just in my head. Totally inconsequential and the stories don't need to match, it's great.

The only reason it matters if it was a Russian engineer or not, is so that Americans' currently engaged in two-minutes hate can use this story as yet more confirmation of their bias against Russia. There's simply no other reason to point it out and make an issue out of it.
This wasn't an attempt at IT modernization. TSB had to migrate to a different system following their split from Lloyds.

Going split screen with Notability is still a good way to read a book. I usually note down chapter headings and sometimes copy out sentences mixed with my own thoughts or summaries.
On principle I'll avoid viewing an article if it's being hosted on medium and skim the comments to decide whether it's worth viewing directly. Probably go on to view the original about 1% of the time. Sorry author, but using medium already counts against you.

And what's with all these sites that now force you to accept their cookie policy? Totally pointless when you configure the browser to delete cookies when the browser exits...
It's interesting - yet eating a single apple cast us out of paradise. Maybe the symbolism here is: Don't take what wasn't yours for the taking (i.e. earth's resources).

For the religiously inclined, consider that this planet earth could become our "paradise". Destroying its resources may just cast all of us out of paradise once again.
Is this kind of derision really necessary? Americans are just as capable of making stupid mistakes, and have - many times over - during the course of their space program.

This story should be about how American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts have demonstrated time and again that they are more than capable of working together to do amazing things, in spite of the nationalistic jingoism currently ripping the American political sphere apart in its efforts to create a new bad guy to hate.

But, no: its a two-minutes hate session for Westerners to pile on Russia. Again.
You say that now, but you'll have to eat your words when Canada finally goes mad at your lack of universal healthcare and invades.
How can a sensitive organ like the eye keep on taking the sustained stress of bright sunlight and UV radiation?

I would suspect that it's because they've evolved to take the stress, since we live on a planet that orbits a reasonably bright sun.

The outdoors on a sunny day is an order of magnitude brighter than even a well lit office or a computer screen.
I'm rooting for c) new banks arrive with new tech stacks and completely replace the old ones.
That would also be a possibility, yeah.
Fix the issue then resign. Take responsibility not compensation.

Maybe it was reported and the "proper" fix at that time was to use that glue.
> Why aren't people using your product

Obviously because no one is (would be) selling it and thus no one knows about it.
In both cases it's a straightforward cost-benefit tradeoff: sure, you can build a turbine that works in gales. But they're rare. So in practice the turbine design is tuned against a statistical model of expected wind speeds to deliver the best $/kWh ratio over its design life.

> Think what you could do with that much concentrated power.

That sounds more like a headache (now you have to uprate the whole power-handling systems) than a benefit.
