My (black) spouse has talked with me about their thorough support of this idea. They think there ought to be white student unions, white history month, white studies courses, etc. I wouldn't mind seeing this happen, if white folks could do it without hate or exclusion of others (which probably requires acknowledging and destroying white supremacy).
"Who is to tell?"

Generally the person themselves should be the one to tell. Other systems have not worked out so well.
I've found that even if an ERG was created around a particular identity that does not mean that you have to have that identity to be welcome, for instance -- everyone looks forward to when the Indian ERG throws a party because the food is amazing, everyone is invited and the event schedule is public.

Also, ERGs are simply a more formal organization, in my company official ERGs some receive funding to support events. At a previous work campus we set up regular basketball and volleyball games after work using a simple mailing list and a share point like internal forum system.

I've seen groups where the focus is those who identify as "makers" and also a group for drone hobbyists. You can think of these groups as "special interest groups" to use a political term, but most of these groups are not exclusive.. for instance, you can join the NAACP regardless of race.
When the largest cloud provider takes time to create and market a new product it's probably worth thinking about for more than a "lol".
Really? You can't just talk to the person and gauge their enthusiasm? I talk to devs all the time and they typically wear their tech bias on their sleeves. You know who is hard core C# and wouldn't touch java w/ a ten foot usb cord after just a few moments.
> You need to convince me that you were a dedicated employee for 10 years (which you are), but you also need to show that you're willing to learn something completely different.

Have you actually had examples where this wasn't the case? This seems like a common sentiment that I myself have thought, but I honestly can't think of a single instance where a candidate with good experience or knowledge wouldn't actually be willing to learn something new, or wouldn't model code they write along existing idioms.
I might be mistaken but wouldn't Data Explorer be more similar to AWS CloudWatch which has been around for a long time.
Well yes (that it’s only 50% is surprising), but realistically the presence/absence of a padlock is a terrible security indicator. Long term I would hope it goes away and you get an “insecure” UI only.

For the average developer just starting out, pick Aurora Serverless (MySQL or Postgres). It's probably all you will ever need. Relational databases are still the best general purpose thing out there.
Quantum just means something that can be counted or measured, usually in discrete amounts like whole number. Assuming the audits and entries are discrete and transactional, the word makes sense. But yeah, it just looks like they are trying to go for marketing buzzwords.

function averageAge(){

Really depends on what is your product and how users use it.

If the user just visit a few pages every time, you probably don't need SPA.

However, if your website has hundreds of pages and users need to navigate around a lot, SPA would actually reduce load time by cutting down the amount of data being transferred over network every time users goes to a different page. It also makes the experience navigating between pages smoother.
Yes, Americans are loud. But the acoustics of the space one talks do in fact make a difference. If the surrounding space reflects a lot of sound, the restaurant will be louder than if the surrounding space absorbs a lot of sound.

And that, in fact is what the article is about.

Quality and depth of information in a good library, at least for many subjects, is much greater than what you'll find for free on the internet.
I work on a product that is in a similar boat. We have LAN based remote control using HTTP connections, but have no practical way of TLS enabling it. Stunts like this would work, but are a really bad idea.

The other alternative is to have the devices and remote control connect to a central server over TLS and Internet and then have that server relay traffic. But that is not nice either. However we may be forced into it because of client restrictions on non-TLS connections.

The Plex folks did solve this problem, but it requires a CA to cooperate. I wish someone would step in and help solve it for all. https://blog.filippo.io/how-plex-is-doing-https-for-all-its-...

Presumably ~1/3 less power means AWS gets a better margin on these.

I know that kind of concentration, or zoning out to be precise. Alertly listening your internal metronome and rest of the band/orchestra and being calm enough to trust your body and instincts at the same time. That's a tall order. I've also played double bass in a symphony orchestra, I know the stress and thrill that creates :D .

While we were chatting with our master, art and martial arts came into subject. It turns out that practitioners also practiced classic arts (music, painting, dancing, drawing, calligraphy, etc.) during their training. It's considered a catalyst and an essential part of the training, because it promotes calm, focusing and fine work. It also balances the more outward/powerful side of the energy.

As a developer, I consider coding as an art. Writing code with the same concentration and calmness both accelerates the development of the code and really settles some of the dust which practice inevitably stirs up.

Really, everything is much more connected than it seems. Please don't give up drumming.

Hi folks, as one of the co-authors of said paper, I'd like to share some of my thoughts about the write up and the study. First, IMHO the Economist article does not reflect what we reported or tested. We did not test whether university "broadened the mind." There are many ways, as a researcher, that I would test that including some of the ideas expressed here, such as examining changes in ideology, changes in knowledge of different theoretical and knowledge systems. We didn't do that. The closest we came was testing changes in openness to experience. But even that measure is not a good proxy for "broadening the mind." Second, the changes found in the vocational sample aren't necessarily negative. When people decide on what they want to do with their lives, they naturally diminish their interests in alternatives that reflect paths they have chosen against. We've found this pattern in other samples, including college samples and view this as a natural, if not healthy development. Third , while the changes found in the vocational sample may be construed as "different" the other way to view them is that they are the changes that the college sample will eventually experience. They just don't have to because of the opportunities for exploration and not choosing offered by university life. In closing, we appreciate your interest in the study. We have registered our objections about the way the article was written up with the Economist. The entire process was botched in our opinion--in part because of a breakdown of QC at the Economist and in part because we were not as timely in our responses to the writers queries as they needed us to be given their tight deadline.
Ahead of the job numbers he promised https://www.wgrz.com/mobile/article/news/tesla-shares-new-jo... . I will say that project is going very well.
Why are you saying this like it's a bad thing? Transportation development has time over time been proven to work best when decisions are made by consensus rather than by letting central authorities and monied interests do whatever they think is right.

Had this never happened, LA would have far worse pollution problems than it does today, and NYC would be completely overrun with highways.
In that case, can you just store each data point in a data lake somewhere and do a batch-job? Apache Flink supports this use case as well as real-time.

This was once true, but not anymore. Grid and flex coupled with media queries solve this problem almost perfectly.
I'm actually impressed at how incredibly expensive they made this. $0.50 per million 1KB writes, which is 20x what aurora charges, since aurora allows 8KB writes. And Aurora is already expensive if you actually read/write to it.
Oh yeah! Would that need a custom storage peovider in Prometheus?

In general completely true. However there are now a small number of people doing up old minkas. In fact my friend has a nice side business buying up these old properties in the countryside for ridiculously small sums of money, restoring them and AirBnB-ing them to tourists.
Came here to say the same.
The price will probably be lower, as the article suggests, but there are currently epipen shortages so teva can charge more until the shortages are resolved.

Typically the second generic product brings the largest price reduction [0]. However epipen is a unique scenario. I'm not sure how hard it is to develop a generic epipen, but it is definitely not a straightforward small molecule generic, so presumably there will be fewer generic versions than you see with drugs like lipitor. So it is possible that the market resolves to an oligopoly with 3-5 players that all make decent profits; there is precedent for this (i think the pancreatic enzymes market is an example)

I don't think the voting mechanism is the problem. The problem is the humans who vote. For example, let's say that Civil attracts 10 publications to its platform, all of which are liberal leaning (which seems to be the case). So, when a conservative newsroom wants to join, what do you think will happen?

The Civil Constitution [1] has no guarantee of freedom of speech. Instead they say they are "committed to the ethical practice of journalism," which is open to be arbitrarily abused by the majority of voters, irrespective of the voting system.

I don't actually understand why there is any voting at all.

The author of the original article says he believes that Civil's leadership has 'good intentions" but if they can't understand that their system will not solve the problems they set out to solve, then perhaps they don't deserve to gain the funding and attention they have actually managed to get.

The previous article seemed to be as objective as the reporter could make it, describing his personal sense of guilt but also the people around him who tried to convince him it wasn't entirely his fault.

He did allude to the family problems that the restaurant owner was going through, and that they contributed to the failure of the restaurant. He probably felt that airing those problems publicly would merely do more damage to the business he felt responsible for damaging in the first place. This new article says the original author didn't know about the legal entanglement so that could have used vetting.

This all seems to be related but separate to the main question from the original article: how responsible are food critics to the businesses they write about? Even if the business would eventually fail on its own, is accelerating the downfall an ethical wrong? This is the interesting part of the conversation that should be examined with these articles
I always felt like The Walking Dead was missing an opportunity to do some good.

Years ago I read about a movie production crew that got permission to demolish a rundown public building as part of filming in exchange for rebuilding it afterward.

For TWD you could use several of those abandoned Detroit neighborhoods for a sequence and then bulldoze the neighborhood to the foundations afterward, reducing the health and safety concerns.
What argument? This is what I actually do. I read job postings sometimes, and if a posting looks like it might involve too much bullshit to be worth the effort to apply, I forget about it forever. If the posting is crap, I don't apply. It's not my problem to contact the company and tell them why their advertisement failed to draw my interest.

This strategy works perfectly fine when I already have a decent job and wouldn't be averse to trading up, if the opportunity is right. If nothing seems good right now, I can still go to work. There will probably be more opportunities in the future.

But even when I need to find new work now, or run out of money to pay bills, I still shove the lowest estimated payout/effort prospects to the back of the queue. There is nothing any individual company could do to change my behavior. I will always pick the ripest fruit whenever I get hungry. I will always avoid wasting my own time with snipe hunts and wild goose chases.

Your dating analogy crumbles in a lot of very reasonable cases. Job hunting is only superficially like dating. Getting hired is not very much like getting married, unless you are in a cult featuring polygamy/polyandry for the leader (and maybe their top disciples), with chastity and celibacy for everyone else.

But in some sense, it is apt. If your profile says you're looking for someone who is:

- rich
- pretty
- single (never married)
- faithful
- sane
- attentive to my every need
- definitely not an axe-murderer
- also not a con artist
- has a garish tramp-stamp tattoo featuring Yosemite Sam
- minimum height 190cm; maximum weight 100kg

You are still going to get pinged by chat-bots and the desperately thirsty, but anyone fitting your bill has probably already overfilled their queue with prospects that are only asking for:

- able to cook dried pasta correctly
- not a *complete* asshole

And that's because those other people have requirements, too.

Of course, but time is limited and there's a huge number of things to learn. So my point about a customer paying the cost of learning SSR may be moot, but someone has to pay it.

I also assume the ease of implementing SSR is highly dependent on the backend tech stack. My guess is that only Node.js makes it relatively easy.

"Medicare can't negotiate prices with pharma companies"

That's a common statement, but not really true.

Medicare Part D, which covered prescription drugs, is managed by private insurers who can negotiate for the price of drugs.

In Medicare Part B, which covered physician administered drugs, Medicare pays the average sales price. Which means every time a private insurer gets a lower price, some of that is passed onto Medicare.

So the statement "Medicare can't negotiate drug prices" is technically true, but ignores all the other ways it can get lower drug prices.
Measure M is a 120 billion dollar measure, one of the largest regional transit initiatives ever in the history of the united states. The only real problem with it is that LA has to rework itself around transit oriented development for both residential and office space for it to really work.

In the context of computing technology, “quantum” is not the appropriate term, and I only agree it makes sense with the most generous interpretation of the term, whose meaning you describe finds itself mostly in certain physical theories. They could have used the word “discrete”, which is overwhelmingly more contextually accurate, if that’s what they mean.
AWS employee here. QLDB has been used internally at AWS for quite some time. We decided to turn our internal service into an external facing product because we saw a demand for a ledger system with central authority. Many people were trying to force Blockchain to accomplish this, while we already had an internal ledger solution that is far more scalable while still being cryptographically verifiable.
I think of these groups as a shallow proxy for common interests, as mentioned I've seen ERG type groups at my company that don't have to deal with sexual, racial, gender, etc identity.

These groups are similar to an ice breaker in a conversation with someone new, usually I try to find something common with a person I've just met that we can share experiences over.

The ERGs at my org are not exclusive at all, the Latino, Women, and Black ERGs organize a yearly leadership conference that everyone is invited too and has a very diverse set of topics that can be discussed. The new grads at my company are automatically enrolled into the ERG mailing list and I've developed really tight bonds with folks I met there, there is a yearly ski trip with about 25 people that I'm apart of that started with folks who met through the new grad ERG.
technically yes, that is the default strategy in perfectly competitive markets, but collusion happens because it maximizes profit for both companies despite it being anti-capitalist.

for plausible deniability, the two companies typically don't directly talk to each other, but a lot of signalling happens via public statements and marketing channels to indicate a desire not to compete (as a simplistic example: raising prices when the competitor lowers theirs).
Thank you! I appreciate your comments.
This sounds great but you have to factor in that up to very recently, houses have been fairly poorly built in Japan as they prefer to demolish and build anew. Average lifespan of a house in Japan is 20-30 years. Which means that it doesn't always make sense to renovate these abandoned houses.

You're right -- I hadn't realized that we're currently in a regime of tether being discounted and withdrawals being slow or not working. After the previous discount recovered the withdrawal problems went away (obviously correlation running in the other direction), but I hadn't been tracking that the discount has reappeared.

Outside of periods of withdrawal difficulty, though, the reports slow to a trickle and then dry up.

It would be interesting to pull the history of the bitfinex sub and plot the frequency of posts mentioning "withdraw" against the kraken USDT/USD pair to get hard data on this rather than my anecdotes, though.
sure, yes, but architects _never_ paid attention to acoustics when designing restaurants (or maybe the very few super sound-concious).
Well yes, the business has the right to do what it did, of course. Really no way to knock it other than saying "I don't like that kind of store."

However, there are other shops that actively cultivate the kind of culture you mention. Starbucks is probably the most prominent. It's something that Starbucks deliberately promoted since inception.

You seem already aware that it's nice to have a 3rd place besides home and work. But once it's a coffee shop you don't get it?
No, it's more like this: I'm the CEO of a medical drug supply company. I want a new yacht, or a new Jetstream private plane, or hell--why choose between them when I can get both? What price should I charge for a drug millions of people need each year so that I can continue to enable my decadent lifestyle?

If the historical price is X, but I can charge 4X because people need the drug, let's charge 5X so I can make even more profit because demand is inelastic.
