Why have laws in business at all? You don't like it don't do business. Perhaps because we don't like the idea that the strongest should always get his way? Although I totally take your point that it is utterly fatuous to suggest shareholders are going to hold management to account on the general theme of being ethical.

Total deregulation is every bit the same silly extreme as a command economy and should be treated with the same withering contempt. The question should always be "Is this regulation effective in making things better for more people over the long term." If that answer is now, we have a regulation that should go. Deregulation extremists somehow take the exact opposite point of view when it comes to property rights, regulations that protect them. And of course every single large company shouting de-regulation is really engaged in a massive amount of regulatory capture. Those regulations need to go and we need to fight back in a big way on that. Variations on that theme are why Bernie and Donald are so much more popular than Hilary and Jeb. Still no progress.

Anyway are these tech billionaires able to command super-voting rights with their stakes because they're so great and wise and wonderful? Or is it because they've secured a beachhead that commands a lot of economic rent and that beachhead gives them the power and strength to get their way. I don't find Zuck super impressive as a person, strategist or engineer. But hey he fought off google trying to muscle into his beach head so he must be amazing unless he, um, "has the high ground" OB1 stye.

Did Rupert Murdoch push the super voting rights regulations through so he could keep total family control of news ltd & fox?
This bias is up-front and generally accepted in retail. Obviously they're selling at a bias.

Heaven forbid a store sells its own products.

What if Nintendo starts selling their most profitable products on their store?

Or Whole Foods starts stocking expensive food products?

Or the Rolex store in the mall promotes their most expensive watches, when the $5 timex keeps time better?

When will the madness end?
I thought that PHP 7 would have staved it off a little longer.
Never think about it. The brain is asking for a break. How do you think about the idea that appears at the middle of the busy stuff?
The only reason Saudi Arabia is bombing their neighbor is MBS decided he needed a successful military victory to highlight and cement his power as the true ruler of Saudi Arabia.

Yemen is the poorest country in that part of the world and poses no threat to SA.

The only reason the US aides SA in bombing and starving Yemen is they asked.
Indeed but the cognitive load of scrolling through those ads, especially on mobile, is part of why everything is perceived as sucking these days IMO.

It's like there's a late-stage capitalism barrier to entry to get to the good stuff on every platform these days. I mean who out there actually wants autoplay videos and unending push notifications?
I would be extremely surprised if the motivation for putting bfloat16 in tensorflow was not the TPU. That first public commit was ~1.5 years before TPUv2 was announced at I/O, so it was almost certainly already in development.
The other big problem with 'affordable housing' is that it's corrupt. You'll find that for many of them, there's a long list of things you get preference for... like being a residence of that little suburb. So offspring of folks who live in some swanky suburb will get the affordable housing even though they are the ones who could probably do without. And often, you'll find that the "lottery" system is not a lottery... it's moms and dads who are working in these affordable housing committees and they cheat so that their sons and daughters get the housing opportunities. When you consider especially that in the large scheme of things it's just a handful of these opportunities available, you quickly find out what a scam this thing is.

How do I know this? Because I've seen this all happen. Of the 10 or so households who got affordable housing in MA, I know that more than 8 got it because they didn't really qualify but knew how to play the tricks. One of our family friends is actually trying to divorce his wife (just in the papers) so that the wife gets higher preference rating for a certain house they're going for.
If you use an AWS Instance Role that allows you to pull data from AWS Parameter Store, then you don’t have a bootstrap problem.

In this case, AWS knows what your instance is and what it is allowed to do, and so you can access SSM without any other credentials being stored on the system.

But this only works if you’re running your EC2 instance in AWS.
I think a big problem is from the reflections produced by the current panels, blinding pilots overhead. I know when the sun hits a reflective window on the building across the street from me at the right angle, I have to pull my blinds as it makes it incredibly bright for a few minutes, and if you look at the huge reflection in the window it hurts the eyes. I can only imagine how bad it would be for pilots if 50%+ of buildings/houses had them installed.

Nissan Leaf sales figures for August 2018 are 1315:

For the Tesla Model 3 are 20450:

So model 3 was selling actually 15.5 more than Nissan leaf.
And the gap will only increase as the production increases.

Reebok was the pump. Nike was “air”.
My biggest beef is with the idea of trying to control something that doesn't need to be controlled for it to work, just because it'll increase profit margins. The web does not need to be regulated or controlled by ISPs for it to work. We've known this for decades. It's unfortunate that it's necessary to have a law in place in the form of net neutrality to keep ISPs from finding and using this as an avenue of revenue generation, but capitalism isn't perfect.
thanks for responding, but I confess it didn't clear anything up for me. I don't know what "Access" is or why ssh would require a token.
It's a PITA, that's for sure. There were no drugs in mine. But I reasoned that it's only 1 night. I chose a time where I didn't have work the next day. No big deal, it's not like you have to do it for a month straight. Do you not get any time off work at your job?
This. I've been trying to make this point myself but people don't seem to want to acknowledge it, so it's gratifying to hear someone else say it too.

What if Python 3 was a separate project that someone other than GvR had put forward, would adoption have the same impetus? I don't think so.

Thanks for the mention of Privacy First Products, I will probably post that to Hacker News later, but here is already a sneak preview: https://privacyfirstproducts.com

It's quite a challenge to keep focused all the time, but it's super fun to test out what you can do in one day. The code will reflect the fast coding of course, but I'm surprised on the progress of maybe streamers!
I worried about the word "clinical" here, which might not be what I meant. It is not, however, inaccurate to say that concerns about efficacy were behind EU health system refusal to pay, and behind the therapy being taken off the market.

Spotify gets heaps of data from users so I'm sure they do a bunch of data-science stuff in the background. For example their `Discover Weekly` feature is most likely powered by such analytics and possibly some ML.

You might like the book "The design of everyday things" if you haven't read it already.

I find bauhaus design and understanding affordances etc much more interesting than abstract and non functional design.

As another note, usability testing with irregular computer users with a skeuomorphic design vs a "flat UI" produces such crazy results in favour of skeuomorphism.

I think salesmanship and being able to sell a daring vision is key. Why else would anyone invest in risky long term projects like space travel when they could just buy an ETF instead?
At least in Let's Encrypt's case, I thought the free SSL cert was handled as a normal CSR request; the private key should never leave the server the certificate is issued for, assuming the client performing the CSR isn't compromised in some way. All Let's Encrypt's validator service should get is a challenge signed by the private key, not the key itself.

A CA compromise is still very bad, but mostly because it allows an attacker to issue valid certificates and set themselves up as a MitM more easily. Let's Encrypt is still subject to this kind of attack, but so is every other CA; it's not a new threat. That can be reasonably worked around with certificate pinning and other techniques.
The fact that those brands are used storewide make them more identifiable as store brands.

You can buy simple truth milk, chicken, soup, and diapers at Kroger stores.

Amazon has multiple distinct brands per category, which makes keeping track much harder.
Even more: it is a global feature that is supposed to work for any view controller with a scrollable view. (I wouldn't describe it as "double tap", though: you tap the status bar once, but in Safari the status bar is hidden as you scroll down so you have to tap the top of the screen to reveal it.)
Finding Seaborn [1] after toiling for hours with Matplotlib for some convoluted plots was a godsend. Of course the moment you wanted anything off the beaten path you'd still have to fall back to Matplotlib API but Seaborn would provide an excellent starting point.

All in all I'm really happy to see high-level wrappers tailored to data-scientists.

I also have not seen any data pointing that these programs are effective. Given all the variables involved and the difficulty in collecting data or even determining measures of success, it's very easy to argue in one way or the other.

This has been my experience with affordable housing as a New Yorker:

1. Units don't necessarily go to those who need them most. A percentage are always set aside for city employees (public data) and when evaluating applications, developers tend to pick the applicants with the highest credit scores and most stable backgrounds. These people tend to be the ones who need the housing the least (source: real estate friend.

It's also not common for recent graduates with low incomes but wealthy parents to get the housing (source: people I know who did this).

2. You're allowed to keep the housing forever, even if your income skyrockets.

3. Affordable housing is often built in the wrong locations. It doesn't make sense to put a $800 / month apartment in a luxury neighborhood where residents can't even afford to buy coffee, but this is often what happens.

4. Continuing the point above, developers usually design affordable units in exactly the same way as luxury market-rate units. This raises costs that the developers must recoup from the market-rate units. Do subsidized renters really need marble countertops?

5. The affordable units built are really just a trickle in a waterfall of all the high-end housing coming to market.

The best solution would be to encourage the building of quality, affordable apartments directly in the neighborhoods where people need them most. Even better, the city should improve transportation infrastructure so that the free market can fix the affordable housing issue on its own.

Google is becoming really frustrating. I am trying to transition off inbox because they are killing it. The performance of the new gmail is miserable though.
For some reason I read it as ‘anti-frugal’ and started reason my thinking. Daah!
I guess it's up for debate. While I agree some are silly (Elastic Beanstalk/Kinesis), renaming the product does not necessarily increase discoverability, which is a bigger issue. As for this list, I find a lot of these too dumbed down or missing some huge use-cases.

S3 is simply an object store, which is a fairly common term. So "Unlimited FTP Server" is less obvious to me, and sounds old, outdated, and a security risk (although S3 can be that, too). Lambda is functions-as-a-service, or serverless. "App Scripts" would also tell me nothing, or sound like something for Office. SNS main use-case for us is not to "send mobile notifications, emails and/or SMS messages", but to link two systems together where some loss is acceptable, so "Amazon Messenger" is worse. SQS and SNS fit together well.
This was known. https://lwn.net/Articles/765837/ reports 21% performance impact and the plan was to handle STIBP as an opt-in security feature. I am not sure why that was not furthered in the patches that have actually been committed to Linux, as I did not follow them closely.
Not sure where you're getting that... Erdogan has been demanding that Gulen be extradited directly to Turkey since at least 2016, and I'm sure earlier.

Private health in the UK can only exist off the back of the NHS.

The doctors are mostly trained in the NHS system. When a surgery happens there's a reasonable chance that it's in the private floor of an NHS hospital, using a private doctor but the rest of the team is NHS. You'll get a private room. But if anything goes wrong, or if you need more after care, you'll be back in the NHS system.

In the UK private health care is at best queue-jumping, but at worst it's poor quality care from doctors who couldn't keep a job in the NHS.
It wasn't always that way, but I'm pretty sure the option was there by 2011, as I believe it was released around 2010.
No, that really threw me off too, not because it's objectively bad, but because I know and have seen how NYT is capable of some really impressive feats creating visualizations and visual aides for their stories; it's objectively bad considering the source.
I work with a service every day named Connect.

I can't even find articles which I know exist using Google and nearly exact names.

"Amazon connect best practices troubleshooting" gets you to other AWS services like direct connect.

This is the only service name that truly bugs me.
I absolutely disagree with the conclusion. I live in the UK and my friends who don't own a car mostly don't have one because it's so stupidly expensive to own one. None of them say they prefer to sit on the bus for an hour instead of a 30 minute drive, no matter how nice the bus is.
Timber also has its upsides, including locking up carbon, and being easy to modify after the initial build.

It's a playful allusion to viral conspiracy meme graphics. Designers at the NYT do not use non-antialiased lines and JPG artifacts unintentionally.
This is badly needed for so many things. Amazon is the worst offender. Even the logos for the services are terrible

Well it's bigger for one, but J&J has been constantly sued for anti-trust.

The question is, should people need to read the fine print to know what they are getting? Said another way, what level of generalized a-priori knowledge is reasonable for a consumer to have in order to know what additional information the manufacturer/retailer needs to provide for the consumer to make an informed decision?
Reinforced concrete frames are also earthquake resistant and fireproof, e.g. popular in Greece. Search "Eurocode 8" for reference.
I had a programming job in the military where the desktops were in a vault secured with a combination lock. When opening up in the morning you got 2 cracks to enter the combination to the vault correctly. After that people with M16s showed up. That actually happened at least once that I know of, fortunately not to me.
Sure, a lot of AWS services could have been named better. But a lot of these are terrible, downright misleading names.

Some examples:

S3 as "Amazon Unlimited FTP Server": S3 has nothing to do with the FTP protocol.

VPC as "Amazon Virtual Collocated Rack": VPCs don't have anything to do with either collocation (they can span AZs), much less physical racks.

Lambda as "AWS App Scripts": really disagree with this one. Their intent is to be microservices or event handling functions, not scripts. "Scripts" isn't really descriptive but usually implies a manually invoked automation that modifies some kind of stateful resource (such as files). Lambda is basically the exact opposite.

There are lots more that are problematic or overly simplified as well.

I don't say this to crap on the effort, just... be careful if you're relying on this for your understanding of what AWS does.
I assume this is not a problem if I disable hyperthreading?

True. The question seems to be correlating the long-term decrease in serious episodes and gene expression (observed, albeit in a low sample size) with a marker (plasma TG did not change, but centrifuged TG composition by weight did).

The injustice here, if it exists, seems to be that the system is poorly configured to treat rare diseases.

Afaik, the FDA (regulatory side, for non-US readers) began granting more permissive experimental waivers for this sort of thing.

But the insurance side seems well within their rights to not pay by saying "This treatment has not been demonstrated effective to our standards." Something which is likely impossible given the cost of running normal trials and target population (small).

Hopefully, in the future, this will be addressed as more gene therapies become available and individualized medicine becomes the norm (similar to the revolution oncology has gone through in the past 30 years).
The IBM Cell, an architecture decried by many at the time, especially in the game industry (Gabe Newell's infamous rant), was right: A lot of specialized cores managed by a few generic, all-purpose, cores.

I will desperately miss the clean inbox paradigm when Inbox goes. I am struggling to go back to the old way of managing my email with no done button and poorly configured categories. I feel like I have to do it now or I won't adjust in time for Inbox being sunsetted early next year.
This is somewhat unfortunate for older-gen hardware. The difference between chugging-along but usable vs 20% reduced performance is crippling.
If WinAMP still had support, you could still run it. This is why apps like QMMP exist. I use it to listen to my music because I manage my own playlists and prefer the way it works. On the web, the same thing is possible. My public library's search interface is old, but it's still maintained and I hope it doesn't get this "next level" Gmail-type upgrade. These big upgrades end up rewriting some of the biggest leverage points in the software, so it's as if you went back to the software store and bought a completely different title, in a way. I wish more people could understand that "upgrade" thinking needs more nuance. We lose a lot of value in all of these wasteful efforts to upgrade.
The search across all open documents is very good.
They complain about the cost of research, development, and approval... so why not migrate those aspects to state entities which are not beholden to a profit motive?

Drug manufacturing is a very different business than drug discovery. We bundle them together hoping that the profits in one will bankroll the massive loss risk in the other.

But it doesn't work-- we end up with situations like this-- drugs that don't cover their upfront R&D costs, and also issues with questionable market-oriented priorities (I tend to think of the galaxy of me-too erectile-dysfunction medications that hit the market almost immediately after Viagra)

If we shoved a bunch of research dollars into public labs and universities, they could manage research, development, and certification, with the goal to produce a non-patented product that the manufacturers can compete to produce at scale as cheaply and reliably as possible. If the up-front science is paid for, maybe that 1,000 patients are economically viable to produce the actual pills.
Bezos read about Rockefeller’s old plays.

Standard Oil had a large number of small subsidiary oil companies under different names, many of which weren’t clearly understood to be owned by Standard. It was one of their ways of preventing anti-trust accusations against them.

Amazon Prime is effectively a postal commerce version of Standard’s rail rebate system.

Lots of respect to those guys, whether you agree with their actions on a moral basis or not. They’ve been reading up on their history.
