I'm sure measuring "days" becomes silly when you're not spending a significant amount of time on a rotating spheroid orbiting a single star.

Rounding up to 4Ks is a reasonable substitute for an hour. Also gives you the convenient 15min ~ 1Ks or "a quarter of a metric hour."
Seriously, could Microsoft work any harder to drive me away?

People are going to look at their bottom line and decide this money-grabbing maximal-ism just makes them greedy, unconscionable bastards.

Of course, that's never stopped their juggernaut, before.

For my part, watching this behavior, I'm all the more convinced that de facto UEFI control and the like need to be ripped away from them. They will exploit anything. The problem is, who can and will serve as a neutral steward -- of implementations and not just theory and maybe design?
Exactly, I've a "premium" RTL-SDR and I se only the traffic on 900 MHz band. A more expensive SDR is required to sniff seriously. This is amateur hardware, professional hardware ( as the models described in the Snowden's documents ) can reach 100k E or more. That hardware can elaborate every frequency, more frequency in parallel with maximum reliability, a 20$ hardware simply can't. A good compromise can be one of the commercial SDR like Lime, etc.
Well, the cellular specialization arose long before amphibians emerged from bodies of water, and amphibians laid eggs long before birds evolved, eventually branching out into any species of chicken.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but the military side of me can't help but see how all of those things would be beneficial for our government as well. Stopping US air travel in an emergency. Stopping electronic transactions in a financial emergency. Etc etc etc.

I think a lot of government types would see many potential benefits in the way things are set up now. Even most regular people would have to, grudgingly, admit that, if it were necessary, this system could deliver the government unprecedented amounts of control. I mean, for good or for bad.

But yeah, there's likely a double edged sword there. No question.
i’ve only noticed at least teams/products in google that are more stagnant or don’t have as much work to do. therefore they compete and are territorial with the work. other products that are growing there is plenty for everyone

I had a similar realisation a few days ago booking a flight between Berlin and London Stansted. Judging by the time of the flights, I believe Ryanair operates exactly one aircraft on that route.
Thank you.

Another thing that gets old is giving testimony as to the problem space and then having a bunch of internet strangers pile on to make random suggestions of half-baked ideas like I'm just stupid. It's refreshing to see my actual point engaged.

In the South, the correct polite expression is God Bless. I'm not religious and I don't know the correct expression on the internet. I just want to leave some kind of meaningful acknowledgement of your comment and I don't know what that would be.
Yes the myth of Terraform is that it abstracts sufficiently to be cross platform. You can use it on multiple platforms but that’s all.
>Diane also has the experience in her resume as well.

Nothing in her resume actually suggests she had the experience for what Google needed. VMware became popular in a similar way to Redhat, in that it solved a technical issue nobody else was solving at the time. It didn't have explosive growth until EMC took over and with it EMC management style/structure. She was just along for the ride the second the company was sold to EMC.

>What will help Thomas succeed in this role?

He was in a position of power in what is one of the most successful sales organizations in the history of tech. I don't like Oracle, in fact my post history will show that I loathe them. But their salesforce has absolutely dominated the tech industry for 2 decades+. Google needs someone that knows how to sell to enterprise, they don't just need another nerd at the top. Based on my experiences with Diane she was an extremely gifted technical talent and an extremely poor saleswoman and leader.
> It definitely "ruins" the restaurant, in the sense that it becomes basically impossible to eat there anymore

Worse. The people who eat there change from those who enjoy food to those who enjoy the idea. That takes the right kind of pressure off the chef and owners and substitutes it with the wrong kind, e.g. Instagrammability.
curious as to why hardware can do it dynamically while software can't. It's all logic in the end.

I can understand "not being able to statically compile it because every architecture is different" but, presuming our compiler compiled to a specific platform - why wouldn't it be able to dynamically rearrange in, say, a JITted fashion using exactly whatever logic is available in the hardware.
In the 90's I traded warez on Iomega ditto 250MB tapes with a small group of friends who were active in the BBS warez scene. They would get all the good stuff, trade, upload and get priority for being a good "upper" (or some such slang). Every month or so they would release a list. You made a wish list from that list and handed it in along with a blank tape and a few bucks for chips and soda. Few days later my friend would collect the tapes and rollerblade to my place to drop them off on his way home.
I do not believe the author was trying to be coy, but you are eliding the paragraph which gives the correct context to the latter statement:

> Moreover, though we pay lip service as a society to diversity and tolerance, we increasingly demand uniformity. A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine argued that doctors should not be permitted to opt out of performing procedures that they considered unethical on the grounds of con­scientious objection. Once the profession, guided by ethicists, had decided as a whole that something was ethically permissible, no doctor should be allowed to go against the consensus. This, of course, would have the corollary that mass murder by doctors would in theory be permissible, or even obligatory. Never mind: It can’t happen here. But what was once unthinkable can become thinkable very quickly.

The emphasized section above shows that his point is about overriding the moral judgement of individual doctors with legal fiat. In my mind, the risk is not just the law will someday mandate doctors participate in mass murder. Rather, that by eroding the judgement of doctors in the present, people who tend to think for themselves will self-select themselves out of the profession all together.
If clients have to wait hours for a burger, the existing clientele is gone either way. If you end up folding, the existing clientele is hosed anyway.

And as the original commenter noted, you could put coupons in the local newspaper and the library and whatever else, so the locals have access to burgers at the old price.
I think my comment may get buried but I'll try anyway :)

I'm one of the engineers working on web.dev and recently we had some issues with the way the report was being generated (detail here: https://medium.com/dev-channel/web-dev-status-update-14th-no...)

Specifically, there were audits flagged as "not applicable" and the alpha version of Lighthouse was instead flagging them as failures. That's why it looked like it was telling you to add audio or images—it was actually saying those audits are not applicable because your site doesn't use audio or images. I think that bug has been fixed in Lighthouse but feel free to reply to this comment if you're still seeing it.

We've also temporarily turned off the PWA audits—they were having some bugs of their own based on the infrastructure they were running on. Based on the feedback in this thread we'll look into making them configurable so folks can choose if they want to run them.

We'll also be opening up the repo shortly so folks can file bugs there directly.
I feel like their support has really been improving. 4 years ago it felt like it was non-existent. Been pretty happy with it the last few times I have had to contact them.

I don't think we use any Alpha features, I know there are a couple Beta APIs from Kube we use, but we would be using those no matter where we ran our Kube deployment. We use fluentd for our log collection and Prometheus for metrics and alerting combined with Elastalert. So don't have any experience with Stackdriver.

Why is working with SSL certs an issue? We use the NGINX Ingress with cert-manager and have yet to have an issue. We only have a couple domains pointed at the cluster though, not sure if thats where your issue comes from. The two just worked though with very little tweaking.
I don't deal with building envelope. Its not surprising or unexpected that there are differing opinions among various professions on which set of units are more convenient.

In Canada, all our building code, material design codes, etc are in metric, and yet we are still using US units for day to day design.

The Government should not pick winners and losers. It is unfair for one company to get these great incentives. Also, the taxpayer ends up subsidizing all their monetary benefits for choosing the city. I am glad that both sides agree that this is wrong.
Though appropriate, since it serves much the same function, the choice of the term blinkers seems rather unfortunate given its origin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinkers_(horse_tack).

(Then again, given the number of workplaces that reportedly treat their employees like livestock, perhaps the term is fitting after all.)
You could just define the second to be a 1/100,000 of a day and go from there. Aside from screwing with literally everyones perception of time, it could work.
Good luck getting everyone to cooperate.

Think about it, how much did different cities cooperated when trying to get Amazon's HQ2?

That said, you could at least narrow the problem by getting just the US, the EU, and China to cooperate. (But even that strikes me as a Sisyphean task. But what do I know?)

Gee, I never knew about units, thank you. Very cool. It can convert meters/s to furlongs/fortnight, cm^3 to gallons.. Write fractions like '1|2'. And you can add your own units to the units file.
A variety of choice is fine. It certainly doesn't hinder anyone.
Also... he was just burned out. An experience many here may identify with. That's why the place is still closed.

It's possible there was something he could have done to make things good again... if he wasn't too burned out by the experience to figure it out and carry it out.

It is always worth pointing out, since few people are aware of this, that the servers you rent from Google Cloud do not accept any network packets from US-sanctioned countries; if you are ideologically inclined to the idea of an internet with few borders, free software and so forth, then Google Cloud is arbitrarily crippled infrastructure.

In any case, people should be aware of those limitations when choosing a provider.
That is, again, riding on the coattails of Soviet designs; they're only providing one engine model abroad (the RD-180 for the American Atlas V), and that one is a two-decade-old relatively-slight modification (two-chamber instead of four-chamber) of a late-Soviet design.

In terms of actual new technology, there's just the Soyuz-2 (just coming into service now, and the first in the Soyuz family to use digital instead of analog control systems) and the new Angara rocket family.

Angara will be the real test of new Russian technology development. Payload and cost of the 1.2/A5 are in theory about the same as reusable Falcon 9/Heavy; operational launches are expected to start next year. If it manages to get good reliability and cadence, that will be the real proof that Russia is still competitive.
That's introducing complexity and ability to game the rules for no reason. The solution will come about naturally, either people realize the time waiting for "top ranked" places are not worth it, or other restauranteurs will figure out there is profit to be made and open more restaurants.
My understanding is that these tax breaks were never intended to be subsidies, but rather mechanisms to entice Amazon to set up shop in said area. Say you're a landlord, and you can't find a tenant for a unit. In response, you offer lower the rent. Is that a subsidy? Say you're at a car dealership, and you can't find a buyer for a given type of car. So you offer something like preferable financing, or extended warranty. Is that subsidizing the car buyer? I'd say no, they're offering incentives, not subsidies.

Sure, this may sound like spitting hairs but I do think calling the tax deals given to Amazon a subsidy is deceptive. In my mind, a subsidy is giving to support someone or something in need, that usually wouldn't be profitable otherwise. Like green energy, electric vehicles, or growing certain types of crops. The delals given to Amazon were tax incentives. Something Amazon doesn't need, but the city offers in order to entice Amazon into setting up shop there.

Maybe the problem is that customer service doesn't scale well, while ads/data collection do. Suppose you wanted to pay X dollars to have an ad free / data collection free facebook experience. How many employees would facebook have to hire per user to deliver that service. At the moment facebook gets to push off customer support to "community managers" or message boards, but that doesn't fly when you're paying money.
Step 1 is not using a gantt chart to create some illusory impression of knowing exactly how complex projects will unfold.
I'm sorry, that sounds terrible, and certainly does help explain the position. In a way, I see this as a mirror to our freedom vs security discussion down thread. In this case, I feel what's being given up in the name of security is too great. Most people in the world are decent. It does us harm if we learn to fear whole groups of people—or in the extreme case, all people who we consider outsiders to our group—due to the radical acts of a few. While there certainly are people who society needs to be protected against, and it certainly does make sense to carefully vet people coming from countries that are known to harbor terrorists or other enemies, I feel heavy handed policies like the iterations of the travel ban both encourage these feelings of fear and distrust in members of the population, and worsen feelings about the country from people on the outside (and even citizens who identify with people in the targeted groups). Ill will is increased on all sides, to everyone's detriment. Perhaps that would be justified if the security threat was sufficient, which obviously many Trump supporters feel it is. But the evidence doesn't support that. For example, here's an article from the Cato Institute demonstrating that the travel ban would not have prevented the entry of any terrorists since 9/11: https://www.cato.org/blog/new-travel-ban-wouldve-prevented-e...
Even sadder is that it probably depends on a lot on the day and time you go. Its not like you get the same experience every time you go to that restaurant.
You know, I'll bet a lot of you are thinking: "Oh, this is just a scalability problem." :-)

The key is that Mr. Stanich wants to preferably serve his locals. This rules out simple approaches like raising prices to astronomical levels or requiring reservations a month in advance.

A ticketing system (or reserve in-person day-of), plus a set of reserved tables for locals, seems like the most workable of the approaches here. The franchising option also looks tempting, but I expect that little of what got this burger to #1 would survive the transition.

Hey, any chance we can get Mr. Stanich to open a second location down here in Santa Clara? Asking for a friend. ;-)
Blows my mind that Boeing decided not to include this new system in the “updated” manual.

Oh dear god please no. Root is a pain back when I looked at it.

Space launch and ICBM technology has actually drifted apart over time. The early ICBMs that were suitable for space launch were liquid-fueled, and this is actually a really bad choice for missiles; it can take hours to fuel a rocket and ready it for launch. Modern missiles are almost all solid-fueled, which lowers performance (bad for commercial launch) but lets you store the missiles fueled and ready for launch.

The only example I know of an operational launch vehicle with a lot of ICBM commonality is the Israeli Shavit, and that one is not commercially competitive; Israeli payloads (even military) are only launched on Shavit if they require a particular level of secrecy.
That's why preventive care is almost universally covered in Netherland, despite the fact that many other things are not or partially covered. I can visit my physician any time for the smallest thing.
Yeah, I think that's his idea. So, instead of tables of molar mass in g/mol, you would have tables in terms of "amount of substance"/g. E.g. number of atoms or number of molecules.
In that case it would be interesting to see the premise that gets us from "US' healthcare system is horribly broken" to "Canadian healthcare system is a suitable model."

That doesn't make sense to me, the definition has changed.

The IPK was 1 kg and the copies of it were all slightly heavier or lighter, for argument let's say IPK1 was 1.1 kg and IPK2 was 0.9 kg. Now that we have a constant for the mass of 1 kg, all of those IPK's will now have a new mass relative to the new definition.

Unless the new definition was based on the current IPK and set its mass as of today as the standard, and that standard now will be unchanging?
As someone who used to use ROOT, I would strongly recommend against it. Its C++ implementation has all manner of hidden state, and this leaks into PyROOT.

For example, ROOT has the concept of ownership, entirely distinct from the python sense of references. A file owns the histograms that were read from it. Closing the file changes all references to histograms read from that file to None. It took a large amount of digging to figure out how that was even possible (overwriting an existing object from within the C API), but I cannot for the life of me understand why.

ROOT has way too many gotchas for me to ever recommend it.
