I think the reason is simple. It has to do with money. If a medical worker doesn't come in and perform their job, he/she is not entitled to be paid.

When you step into a hospital, there's a process in place to make money out of you. If anyone misses their part, they'll have revenue shortfall. The pressure is on medical workers. Hospitals have admin staff to pay (CEO, managers.) They have bonds that come to due.

Hospitals are not there just to care for the sick. They're there primarily to make money. I think most of them are designed that way.
It's also started pushing entries into my browser history as I scroll past headings, stopping my back button from doing what I expect. Really gets my goat.
Pretty sure you're right, but I figure at least a few people might be able to realize that "you should be ashamed" just doesn't lead in any productive direction. What if I was ashamed? Would leaving be the only positive reaction to that? As great as I think I am, I don't think Facebook would miss me. They'd just replace me. I'd just carry the taint to my next company, while my replacement also becomes tainted. Good job. Big thumbs up. In that hypothetical, is it not even possible that somebody could do more good by staying?

I diagree with you, in a sense this is now a huge responsibility, especially if you see this windfall as the start of a family legacy, something to be rolled forward for all time. I would read about legacies. How did the Bushes, Kennedy’s, etc do it ?

Because we all have Faraday cages in our homes, and I'm sure the salesman who sold the car also made the customer aware of this vulnerability. /sarcasm.
It turns out if you make unjustified assumptions (information can't travel faster than light) you can make unjustified conclusions (no hidden variables).
Yes, absolutely! Per my other comment in this thread [0], please check out our `redux-starter-kit` package [1]. I'd appreciate any feedback on whether or not it helps you, and what other capabilities would be beneficial to include.

Lots of people throw around the word "boilerplate", but everyone seems to mean something different by it [2]. Can you clarify what _specific_ things you mean by that?

No. Just typical Laurie penny nonsense.

I don't know why anyone pays attention to her.
Oh interesting... a couple problems we've had:
1. The Nomad agent either dies or the process continues to run but in a way that seems unresponsive to requests.
2. When conditions change on the host (low disk space but we free up some disk space) Nomad doesn't seem to pick up on this and retry a failed deployment. This is after we've told it to re-evaluate. Perhaps we misunderstood what it's suppose to do under those conditions.

I will add this to my password manager binge (because I know how to party). I did find the NPM build a bit frightening though - module 956/1xxx built...

Also that site looks like it should be selling something but I see no money hole - should I be worried?
I agree with this idea, amusingly the parking lot used to be pay to park then the town made it free. I don't see a problem with charging a minimum, then hourly up to a max, just make sure it's cheap enough, maybe max $8 a day. This would give the town money to use to help the problem, either more parking or better public transit options.
Probably it's not that easy to replace Lisp for something else at Google, since it implements a relatively complex search engine core. Thus it's still used. I guess they WOULD be happy to replace it, since Lisp is otherwise not used much at Google, AFAIK. ITA/Google also developed another complex application using Lisp (a reservation system for airlines, initially for Air Canada), but that wasn't successful in the market.

At Viaweb Lisp was used for an early web store maker (enables people to have their own webshop) implementation.

> company gets acquired for its tech

Actually companies get bought for a business model, customers and some amount of tech. Reimplementing earlier approaches, even multiple times, even multiple times with different technologies, seems to be normal in the web business.
Buses too. Uber and Lyft have been killing bus ridership. It's a simple replacement when ride-share costs increase.
I guess it depends on the image they want to project and the message they want to send. Sometimes there is a political end to a Government's posturing. Sometimes it's more than the end they're looking for, sometimes they need to set the scene first to control the narrative in a way that sells the story they want for their own political gain.
Scala could be ported .net easily enough, but it couldn’t interop with reified generic APIs. MS actually doesn’t use generics as aggressively as it could in its API for similar reasons (eg there are two APIs for collections that use genetics and don’t).

Then don't bother dropping out!

Life is easier with a degree.
It's not necessary for success tho.

Even if you pass with medium or low grades, it would be quite ok.

It's worth dropping out when there is better opportunity in front of you for example if you are working on a project which you feel is guaranteed hit.

I hated school when i was there now when i revist the content, it seems soo easy!

I was simply lacking motivation back then. When i worked on my own projects, i learned faster and did Ok based on gained knowledge.

You are not enjoying school because you don't see how it's going to help you. I also didn't see.

All you need is a project which motivates you and then the real learning will start!

We don’t need diversity in browser engines anymore. Not that much. We’ve got Firefox, Blink, WebKit (Blink was forked off WebKit but is not WebKit. They also has different JavaScript engines. Chrome is called V8 and I think WebKit has one called SpiderMonkey). And we’ve also got Opera.

Having less diffferences to code against is good. Yet there are still different browser engines from different comapanies. If Google did something stupid Apple could counteract them, etc. Thus I feel the author’s sentiment but don’t think this will matter at all from a practical perspective.

I don't have guidance for you, my friend.

But I do have a question and maybe it would help you.

Had you ever thought about what came after work, before you had the windfall? Like, what you might do if you could retire?

I have worked full time since school, without many breaks. When I've had a few breaks in between / unemployment, the first few times were scary and depressing. The third time it happened, I saw it as an opportunity to take a rest, sit back and think a little, and then find a new pursuit, maybe even my own business and started planning for how to do that.

If you are like me and didn't have a lot of gaps in your working life, it might be shocking to be able to have a break. What I found was that if I put myself into the right mentality... to let myself have a break without guilt (6 months or so - like a sabbatical), to let myself think, and then to slowly build up action to the next thing, it worked out.

That said, normalcy seems to help people. Maybe keeping your routine without the worry about having to pay the bills could be refreshing, if you can frame it the right way.

I wish you all the best. I'd like to dream someday I might be you, but then again, the struggle has always been to find happiness where you are now, money or not. I think maybe that never changes.

Best!
I'm hosting my own SearX [0] instance to try and eliminate search bubble and control my search history.

SearX is a metasearch engine that proxies out search requests and randomizes all browser fingerprints to make it difficult for any individual to be tracked via algorithm. I don't know how effective it is of course, but I find I prefer the search results I get out of it vs google, even if the image search interface isn't as flashy.

I put my instance behind https and simple auth to allow me a bit of security while using it outside of my private network.

If you want the privacy shield vs google/bing/etc and don't mind a middleman having your search history, there are public SearX instances as well [1].

For this and most questions regarding school schedules, consider the point that the timing is for the convenience of the adults who need to go l get to work / back home / other tasks, not the children. A school system that puts kids first would start by 9am but how would society cope with that ?
If the software driver is bad enough that the safety driver will feel compelled to pay attention at all times but not quite take control unless the car does something actually warranting it. It'll be like teaching a 16yo to drive but without them actually getting better (because the software will need to be tuned to keep the driver on edge). Doing it that way is kind of a backhanded approach but it would force the backup driver to pay attention.

Exactly. If it were me, managing that money would become my full time job! Might even consider raising the kids to run the “family business”, they could become financial professionals as a career.
He is responsible for stealing the car in both situations. He has an excuse in one, but excuse doesn't stop responsibility, and both doesn't require a free will to exist.

To provide better example - one guy blackmails you to kill me, or he will kill your whole family. You still have a choice.

You make your choice or it's predetermined cause no free will - it doesn't matter.

You are responsible for your choice, and the blackmailer is responsible for the blackmail. You have an excuse why you choose the way you did, and it may be decided to be a good thing to do or evil, depending on the morality of particular person (basically the trolley problem).

With car the responsibility for stealing compared to the responsibility for a murder is negligible, so people focus on the second one. But both are still there, they don't cancel out.

If the objective is to increase competition, by making WhatsApp into the Facebook competitor they currently aren't, you need them to stay in business.

Of course, if you just wanted to punish facebook by destroying shareholder value, or you're certain WhatsApp users will move to an FB competitor rather than to FB itself, you might not care if WhatsApp stays in business post-breakup.

I think that line is going to a bit more blurry than you think. Waymo has already done fully driverless testing during the early rider program, with plans to roll that out to Waymo One in the future[1]:

> We’re never done learning, and our early rider program will continue as a way for a select group to give us ongoing insights. They’ll help test early features before those new capabilities graduate to Waymo One. For example, we’ve already offered fully driverless rides to some of our early riders.

And the number of people with access to Waymo One is going to steadily increase over time[1]:

> We’ll first offer Waymo One to hundreds of early riders who have already been using our technology. Over time, we hope to make Waymo One available to even more members of the public as we add vehicles and drive in more places.

So with that in mind, let's imagine if, for example, at some point in the near future 10,000 people have access to Waymo One and 1% of Waymo One rides are being completed without a safety driver. Would that satisfy your milestone? What about 100,000 people with 10% driverless rides? If Waymo eventually reaches a point where 95% of rides are fully driverless, and 1 million people have access to the app, would Waymo opening the app up to everyone _really_ seem like that significant of a milestone anymore?

I don't have any advice for you, but I had to comment on your use of the word "nice" to describe your wife.

I thought it was funny! "I've got these two kids, but my wife, oh boy she's a good 'un!"

It was just sweet, is all.

Anyway, to be marginally helpful (I hope), I would also recommend that you keep in mind that a lot of the advice you're getting/going to get is meant to protect you from bad things that have happened to other people. It's all probably good advice, but just because those bad things happened to other people, doesn't mean you're going to get caught up in those traps as well.

In other words, use your own judgement about this stuff, don't just default to following the advice of others. Maybe some of your friends can handle knowing about your new wealth, maybe you can afford a new car without letting all the money slip away in the first year.

You know you better than we do, remember that.

Also, pick up chess! It's great! I love it because while there is some money in it, there isn't enough to lock away the good knowledge, so it has a low bar to entry. Something to occupy your time while you do all the other good advice on here, maybe.
> We're changing instances of whitelist and blacklist to "allowlist" and "blocklist" similar to the conversion of master and slave to "primary" and "replica".

Are you going to change the whole dictionary as well? blackout? blackhole? dark energy? dark matter? dark side of the moon? and what not? Might as well deem the whole english language offensive since its the language of slavers?

Maybe you should focus on real problem instead of slacktivism Silicon Valley style? And I say that as an African descent: The great majority of us don't care about master/slave dichotomy in a source code. Stop being offended on our behalf, there are real problems in the real world that needs fixing and this is not one of them.
Cool, and on an individual human level I'm happy for the parents. But at the larger societal level I find such procedures very disturbing. I don't mean to sound like a eugenicist, everyone has the right to have kids imho, but the resources spent to create this one kid were immense. There are far easier ways for these parents to have genetic children, a surrogacy being top of the list.

The possibility of men carrying children is scientifically interesting, but again the human race is not struggling for kids. We are a growing population. I'd rather the resources spent on these procedures go towards vaccinations or the basic medical treatments that so many people lack on this planet.
Building a Key-Value Store in Elixir – Index Recovery
I get my nails done regularly because I struggle badly with compulsive skin picking and chew on my cuticles a lot. They clean up my ragged cuticles for me (so I don't get carried away doing it myself and make them worse), and the nail polish makes my nails thicker so it's harder for me to pick at my skin. I work in a machine shop and regularly work with acetone on the job, so regular nail polish I could do myself is not an option. I recently started getting the powder dip manicures because they're pretty indestructible and extra thick, and it'd be extremely difficult to give one of those to yourself.

Who are you to say nail techs don't contribute to society? Getting my nails done as harm reduction strategy for a mental illness is an enormous boost to my quality of life. I'm often in a lot of pain because of my cuticles or because I've got some picking spot I can't leave alone, and getting my nails done always comes with a sense of relief for me. I've gotten less and milder staph infections since I started getting them done regularly, too.

Don't poo poo on nail techs, man. Most fabulous, glittery "medical treatment" I've ever gotten.

The requirement to make GDPR downloads available was never well thought out. For instance, say you requested a log of your Facebook chat logs. Should Facebook provide this without redaction of the recipients' identities? I'd say no, providing this data without that redaction is a violation of the recipients' privacy. Especially for a service that is all about networking and sharing, it's difficult to walk the line between giving the user the data they requested, and respecting the privacy of other users.

The ability to tell Facebook to delete your data does not grant you ownership of that data. You do not have the right to tell Facebook to let some 3rd party to access it using Facebook's infrastructure (which seemed to be the claim made by the original comment I responded to). The fact that the government forces companies to abide by certain regulations does not mean that the company is not the owner of the things that are regulated. A company might have it's interview records audited to investigate discrimination. Does that mean the company does not actually own or possess these interview records?
Try to imagine a third choice which is both caring about it and not spending it. And raising your children to do the same.

Do it like daylight savings time. Have everything start two hours later, all year. The issue for the kids is time related to sunrise, not time related to when the parents go to work.

Which is fine, but don't be surprised if the majority of the people choose to do other things and not produce the very thing that you want produced.

I can understand it's highly unusual. I don't have an absolute fear or no fear of doing business in the UK, it just ups my "riskometer" I mentioned. Surely it is clear that a vindictive government raiding a visitor and publishing confidential business documents should give one pause about the government's ideals? And I think we can make judgements about how decisions are reached instead of assuming that the exact steps that led to the decisions are the only reason they may go to such lengths. It is common for those dismissing chilling effects to say certain situations are special, but the effects are about ideals of the powerholders as much as their actions.

Let's say I've been offered a job at a philanthropy that does unquestionably good work, potentially benefitting lots of people. However, the philanthropic organization itself is quite publicly funded by and associated with a person/company who is known for amoral and socially destructive behavior.

Should the philanthropist's bad acts have any bearing on the philanthropic organization he/she supports? And, would this affect your [hypothetical] decision to accept a job there?
