The boxes-and-lines is a very common way of visualizing tables and relations or types and subtypes and/or components. Also in most other so called low-code platforms. That is why it was under consideration: familiarity. I agree it is not very useful though.

Projectional editors can of course show the model as text and in other formats as well, like boxes-and-lines. You wouldn't be able to permanently place them in any specific spot then, so moving them around would at most be supported during a viewing session.
I'm not really worried for a couple of reasons.

Your worries about the rise of think of the children excuses, well, there are a lot of children there. Maybe we should think of them...

The big reason I'm not worried is that no change is ever permanent. If the rules turn out to be too restrictive, then do another pass at them. Today, Reddit is a shitty place that I think is a net-negative for the world. If they were to change the rules and turn it into some kind of milquetoast site that was neutral or mildly positive, I think we would be better off.

I think the sad truth is that all that toxicity is making the few people running Reddit a lot of money and that's all they care about.
Interesting, I tried years ago and it didn't work, maybe it has changed. Good thing is BoA also emails 2FA codes, so don't need SMS anyway.
> Therefore after the few initial buildings built with materials shipped from Earth, there will need to be a great push to find new materials on Mars and perhaps new construction techniques to grow the colony.

I suspect that the development will occur before the initial buildings. The political/social/economic risk environment just doesn't include the option of sending mavericks up to see if they can figure out something that works.

The rovers we have now and the rovers we are building/will build are pretty good at identifying what we have to work with, and it's comparatively easy to test a material process or construction technique on Earth before trying it while wearing a spacesuit.

At the very least, I expect we'll have a viable base of initial buildings and a fuel/oxidizer depot set up before the first astronauts arrive.
Top 14 Social Media Marketing Mistakes Businesses Should Avoid
Because until you get to L5, your job is always at risk. If you spend a long enough time at the company without getting to L5 and without a really good justification, it starts to raise red flags.

Or so I've heard.
I disagree. It is not a better world to prevent people (employers) from doing things that they wish to do, that willing consensual partners in those activities do not object to.

If you don’t want this to happen in your own life, then don’t sign such contracts. Leave other people to their own business. You are not their parent.
In general, restrictive covenants are enforceable in New York to the extent that they protect the employer's "legitimate business interests". The leading case in NY last time I checked, a few years ago, was BDO Seidman, if you want to look that up on Google scholar.

Usually if there's a noncompete case, there is also a trade secret misappropriation claim at the same time. So unfortunately there is little chance that a complaint based on overly broad noncompete would just be dismissed as a matter of law in NY, regardless of how stupid the thing is.
A very big part of the sleep-awake cycle is regulated by the circadian rhythm, that is an automatic 24-hour cycle in animals, plants, ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm

Yes, in both cases baby mice were made. And yes, eggs and sperm are haploid. But the difference here is that the starting cells were embryonic stem cells -- that is, they are cells that are "pluripotent" -- that is cells that haven't yet been programmed to be any particular cell type. So it is a more difficult accomplishment than just working with two eggs.
Also, more abortion.

It was first experienced by Taiwanese F-86 pilots during the Quemoy clashes with China in 1958. Their AIM-9B early-model Sidewinders had unfiltered seekers that considered the Sun as attractive a target as jet exhaust. Later models had bandpass filters to prevent that.

The contemporary AIM-4 Falcon missile had a much more sophisticated seeker but had to be cooled before firing and was useless once the coolant ran out, for example if the pilot took too long to get a lock.

Modern IR-guided missiles use imaging IR sensors and actually recognise target shapes.

Two parties can form a contract without a lawyer ever being involved, though.
I'm with you on that, and hope someone with domain knowledge can weigh in here and explain if there's a subtlety I've missed, but surely the presence of embryonic stem cells, haploid or not, means that there had to be a sperm, and hence a male mouse, to produce the embryo from which the stem cells were extracted? Even if, being haploid, those stem cells contain only the mothers' DNA, or other means have been used to 'edit out' any traces of male influence, that doesn't suggest the whole process could be done start to finish using only females. Or have I misunderstood something?

Most of these sort of stories turn out ok. The ones I have yet to hear about is when a person discovers that their father is not their genetic father due to their mother's infidelity. This is likely to be true for millions of people in the US. Or maybe estimates I've seen for this happening are way high? If it is only one in a thousand, then that would mean 300,000 people in the US are in this situation. Most are likely to find out eventually as more and more people get their DNA sequenced.
It might, but I have an anecdote for you.

My pets had an expectation of events to happen at specific times.
Dog would sit by the door and 'expect' to see $family_member arrive home from school/work. (noteworthy for those that had regular schedule and always got home about the same time.)

My last cat expected to be fed at the same time every day.
For the first couple of years I had my cat, my job & routine were identical every day. Wake at 6am, feed cat, goto work.

On weekends this bothered the cat so he would wake me up at 6:01 so he could get his food. I hated that he would never let me sleep in.
Fast-forward a few months to the daylight-savings change; and then at 5:01 he started expecting food. The damn cat had an internal clock that was very accurate.

So I am sure a lot of animals have internal clocks and don't solely rely on "% of sunlight" to determine behaviour.

For personal reasons, I'm not going to be specific. I'm just going to say many parts of Asia; just not Japan. It's not perfect and there are probably better measures, but this map gives you an idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index

As lotsofpulp has already mentioned, your experience will be drastically different if you're just visiting and if you're not a native. I lived in Asia and I'm also native. My family is still there, and I visit from time to time. If you haven't conducted business or dealt with law enforcement, it's hard to have a full picture; especially if you're just passing by.

"Pretty much"?
Histograms require you to configure buckets into which your samples are allocated; to allocate the buckets appropriately, you need to know what your expected values are — that is, to measure latency, you need to know your latency. While this can work (I think most of us have a clear idea, or can obtain an idea of what our typical latencies is, and configure buckets around that) it is inelegant. I feel like I would rather have X=percentile, Y=latency, but such a bucketing gives you X=latency, Y=request count. Still useful, but only as informative as you are good at choosing buckets. (There is the histogram_quantile function, but I am unclear that its assumption of linear distribution within buckets really makes much sense, since most things would be long-tail distributions, and thus I would think that once you get past the main "hump" of typical latencies, most samples would cluster towards the lower end of any particular bucket.)

I am not clear on how Summaries actually work; they appear to report count and sum of the thing they're monitoring; that is, if one were to use them for latencies (and the docs do indeed suggest this), it would report a value like "3" and "2000ms", indicating that 3 requests took a total of 2000ms together; how is one supposed to derive a latency histogram/profile from that?

Prometheus's fatal flaw here, IMO, is that it requires sampling of metrics. That is, things like CPU, which are essentially a continuous function that you're sampling over time. But its collection method/format doesn't seem to really work that well for when you have an event-based metric, such as request latency, which only happens at discrete points. (If no requests are being served, what is the latency? It makes no sense to ask, unlike CPU usage or RAM usage.)

To me, ideally, you want to collect up all the samples in a central location and then compute percentiles. Anything else seems to run afoul of the very "doing percentiles on the agents, then 'averaging' percentiles at the monitoring system" critique pointed out in the video posted in this sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18194507

Yes. But that’s not the point. The point is that the leverage of both parties entering the negotiation is in most cases very skewed.
Yup.

The reason for IP controls is, and has always been, suppression, because technology is a way you get money and power. It's sad that humans have been doing their best to suppress progress that could benefit everyone just so that they could hold on to their share of the pie.

Two years working with elm: A Twitter thread on why I love it
It serves as a safety valve that helps potentially dangerous ideas rise into the sphere of public debate, where they can be taken apart (or even just "rounded off") before they result in something like genocide.

How's that working out lately? I think ought to look at the way social media has already become a vector for genocide as in Myanmar. Here in the US we're currently allowing some kinds in immigration detention who have been separated from their parents to be permanently adopted by American families, which (by the very international standards we helped to establish) is a massive human rights violation.
I worked with one of the BIG defense contractors for a while. There was this guy, Willy. Willy was a 'fellow' with the company, an engineer so advanced and critical to the company that they just let him do whatever he wanted. One of his PhDs was in chemistry, I think he was about 80 years old back then (~2010). He did not use email at all. I thought it was crazy at the time, but man, was WIlly right about that one. If you wanted to see him, you'd have to go over to him and talk or drop off the memo. He had a phone, but it was the bar down the street from the campus, as Willy was usually there, watching a game or working on something.

I remember WIlly telling us about a time, back in the Cold War, when he'd be given briefcases with empty aluminum bottles inside. They'd tell him to measure the air inside and tell them if he found anything strange about that air, chemically speaking. He didn't say if he had discovered anything strange, though.

WIlly's general expertise was ablative nose-cone chemistry, for re-entry. In fact, as he told it, his brain was the entire field of ablative nose-cone chemistry; at least in The West. He never wrote anything down about it, at least not much. It was all in his head.

This is what Willy had on the company and he had them over a barrel. I came to find out that 'fellows' were just guys that had retired, had never written anything down, and then HAD to be re-hired, at any cost. They were the only non-soviets that knew the engineering about so much of what the company did. That's why Willy could just not do email and have a bar as his phone number and be a general asshat about things. He was literally untouchable.

In fact, there were a lot of 'fellows' at the company. And it bled them dry [0].

In my view, that is why so much of the US's defense tech is going 'backwards'. There just isn't the work force. They called it the 'silver tsunami' [1]. Basically, the US hired for the Cold War and just really never hired again. That's why drones have been so big in the last few years: no humans on board means easier reqs to go through so that even undergrads can get the work done. The same is somewhat true in space and all the other aspects of warfighting.

So it's not just that the low-hanging fruit is already plucked, though I totally agree with you. It's that there just isn't the workforce anymore. It's a complicated issue, so it's going to have a lot of things that are 'wrong' with it and no one aspect is THE problem.

That said, the cyberwar has been going on for a while now. I'd look at CRISPR-CAS9 and optogenetics as the bleeding edge frontiers to get into.

You need to get shot to know what getting shot actually feels like and you need to be a pregnant woman to know what being a pregnant woman feels like. Obviously you can make some assumptions based on an observers perspective, but that doesn't seem as relevant in a discussion that is subjective like leaving social media as a lifestyle change.

If you want to write off the entire post by looking at a single entry, I can see why you'd pick #10 which is the lowest ranked one.

35% of adults not being able to handle a $400 emergency is a sign that a third of the country is barely managing to live, and a relatively small problem can have huge consequences for them. I don't know about you, but it really makes me sad.
The ISS isn't capable of being ran unmanned for any significant length of time. Yes they could escape in an emergency, but they're not going to be leaving "normally" until their replacements can arrive. And that won't be for a while, because as Chris explains in the video, there are no other launch vehicles ready to go beside the Soyuz, and it might be a while before the defect is identified and fixed.
The person I replied to is not an engineer. He is an optimistic non-engineer. Maybe he will change the world, but more than likely, he is the standard "use machine learning to solve this impossible problem in 2 weeks" type.

Employers have a much larger pool from which to choose employees than the pool of employers from which any one employee may choose.

In addition, the majority of employers have (either by coincidence or agreement) landed on a similar set of crappy and unreasonable contracts. For the vast number of employees out there, it's either submit to the contract or remain unemployed.
The default in California is not to enforce non-competes, but there are exceptions [1]. The default in other states is to enforce them, but there are exceptions [2].

[1] For example, if I sell you my business and agree to sign a non-compete that I won't then turn around immediately and compete with you, these non-compete agreements will generally be upheld.

[2] In most states, courts have latitude to decide on what counts as "unreasonable". For example, a non-compete for a janitor at a Fortune 500 company probably won't be upheld. An executive's non-compete at the same company probably will be. But there's a lot of gray area in-between.
The State of SEO in 2018: What Matters and What Doesn't
I got confused when the author said that a $1.29 bottle of 16oz 3% H2O2 was cheap. That is literally the price at every brick and mortar store that sells it. Walgreens: $1.29; CVS: $1.29; Kroger pharmacy: $1.29; Publix pharmacy: $1.29; Wal-Mart pharmacy: $1.29; Target pharmacy: $1.29 .

Hell, do a web search on "hydrogen peroxide" +"$1.29".

Blain's Farm and Fleet: $1.29; IGA: $1.29; Shop Rite: $1.29 . If you're a contestant on The Price is Right, and see a 16oz bottle of peroxide, you bid $1.29, even if the previous contestant bid $1.28 .

It's the rassafrassin' commodity price, dude. And it's a staple household item.

The companies are all of varying sizes and distribution of types of workers. Google has a heavy engineering component to it - Apple and maybe to a lesser degree Amazon does as well, but one thing about Apple is that it has a culture of generally not talking about work as much outside of work, in part due to the whole wanting to keep things secret. Netflix as a company is also just small at around 5000 employees last I heard. Facebook is somewhere around 20k I believe at HQ, although that number seems to go up every time I hear more recent numbers, Google is at ~60kish I remember reading, and Amazon is around 100k I believe? Apple is at a little over 120k employees, but Apple and Amazon both have a lot of non-engineer workers as well (retail and warehouse employees, respectively).

Throwaway for obvious reasons. Just to add some AMZN perspective:

Amazon has big company problems just as much as any of these. In fact, from what I've heard from friends working for other FAANG and similar companies, AMZN tends to have a bigger proportion of terrible managers. This is because the Leadership Principles can be interpreted in several ways and more often than not, gets interpreted in a way that works for managers to push their agenda. The promotion process is a joke. There's a lot of politics, and you have no control over when you're getting promoted. For those that believe that they had enough leverage on when to get promoted, IMO they simply were at the right place at the right time (or as I've seen, got promoted later than they think they deserved to.)

AMZN managers like to quote Jeff a lot. Two of those have worked terribly at the org I work at:

"good intentions don't work" has introduced so many processes in the org that getting actual work done is getting harder by the day. Engineers don't like to do project management, but all these processes are a micromanager's wet dream.

"Amazon is a great place to fail". It really is not. AMZN is a terrible place to fail because once you fail, they bring it up every single time to ensure you don't have leverage. AMZN managers don't seem to appreciate growth. Or they're intentionally blind towards it to ensure they can squeeze a few more years from you while keeping you at the same level. Title being connected to both compensation and the kind of work you get sucks, and if you joined AMZN after the boom in late 2015, compensation is definitely not a reason to stay.

The only folks who are happy at AMZN are those that aren't deluding themselves by saying they are making a real impact. If you're anywhere below senior SDE you're not making any impact. Of course, exceptions exist.
