You probably just missed it/ignored it. It’s a very common usage, going back to the era when a Meteor starter. Meteor being noteworthy because everything on their platform is isomorphic.

It’d be easy to be active and not come across it though. Most of the JavaScript world maintains a clear client/server separation. In my experience most production apps can’t share code between client and server. It’s either written and packaged for one or the other.

The old BFR design had a large carbon-fiber hull, the new one has a stainless steel hull. Unless I'm missing your point, that's a major piece of the rocket that's no longer made with carbon fiber. (The giant molds that they were building for the BFR hull, for example, are now redundant.)
In the United States, about half of states allow for the Illinois (style) Land Trust. Property is registered as normal with the local recorder of deeds but the owner is a trust with the trustee typically being an attorney. Property tax bills are addressed to "Owner of Record", etc.

If there is a need to discover the true owners, you go to court and describe your need to a judge. If the judge agrees, a legally-enforceable order is issued which you take to the trustee and they then reveal the ownership/beneficiary structure.

The trustee is publicly registered, so you can accomplish most of the "I need to know the owner" tasks without knowing the owner. For example, I need a zoning change and must send notice to all property owners within 1 mile, or a tree on your property fell onto my property and destroyed my shed and you owe me money, etc. Send your letter to the trustee: they have a duty to deal with it.

Yes, this is what I was alluding to. Freedom of expression was essential for the fight against racial segregation in the US. And for the fight for homosexual rights.

In what way? I don’t recall police and other authorities being overly restrained from extremes of violence against civil rights demonstrators, arresting and imprisoning them, and even killing them. If anything progress was made despite the lack of any freedom whatsoever, through civil disobedience. In the case of homosexual rights in the US, it didn’t exactly kick off with a sternly worded letter, it was the Stonewall Riots.
I'm certainly no legal expert, but wouldn't the whole "fruit of the poisonous tree" argument apply to any evidence found after and/or as a result of the MAC address connection?
2019 Brings the Closure of a Free Course Provider
I have kind of an open question but: do we have a way to quantify what it means to get something done?

For example, I feel in my heart that I can solve any problem, given enough time and resources. Sometimes I don't get even 1 important thing done in a day. Meanwhile I watch other people get what seems like 10-100 things done in a single day. Then they do it again the next day, consistently, their entire lives. Which of us accomplishes more in the grand scheme of things? Which of us feels happier, or more fulfilled? Which of us makes more money? Is that want accomplishment is, earning money? Or is it freeing oneself from obligation? Or is it having been useful to others? A few thoughts:

* Is getting something done mostly about the feeling of accomplishment? Or is it a tangible, quantifiable thing like crossing an item off a todo list?

* I began using the calendar app in my phone a year ago. I feel a sense of relief not having to remember everything, and I stopped missing appointments. But my calendar is filling up fast, and it worries me. Is this good or bad?

* If (potentially) we're not after the things, but the sense of fulfillment from the things, then could it simply be about changing habits? Getting up early in the morning and accomplishing nothing in the 2 hours before work may feel more rewarding than deliberately wasting the hours between 11 PM and 1 AM over a beer and video streaming. But is the risk/reward worth it? Is it sustainable? Can life be improved by simply going through the motions until the improvements stick?

For what it's worth, my new year's resolution is to begin starting things, finally. So I am working on improving motivation, building a new habit every week or two, saying yes to the accessory gatherings and exercises that build rapport, etc, feng shui'ing my life basically.

I think it's likely that being active is positively correlated with good health. probably for two reasons. One is it is probably good for you to keep active. Too, if you have health issues, you probably are more likely to just stick around the house and not do as much.

There is some well tread ground here, albeit not in the software world. The National Society of Professional Engineers, for example, has a (in my opinion) clear and detailed Code of Ethics [1]. The "Fundamental Canons" section is as good a description as I can think of for what it means to act professional as an engineer:

Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public.
Perform services only in areas of their competence.
Issue public statements only in an objective and truthful manner.
Act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees.
Avoid deceptive acts.
Conduct themselves honorably, responsibly, ethically, and lawfully so as to enhance the honor, reputation, and usefulness of the profession.

That's exactly the tautology: "Moderation" is "the amount that is good for you." So there are no exceptions to "moderation is good for you." How else would you define "moderation" in this context without a reference to the amount of something that is beneficial? It's not as if "moderate" is an amount that exists out of context that can be applied to both donuts and broccoli without knowing which one of those is good for you.
I find it astonishing that the disease risk doesn't lead to a strong aversion to having contact with other animals for any purpose other than reproduction. This is especially true for cannibalism.

In the wild, antibiotics are not provided. Worms can get in the heart, lungs, and brain. Even external parasites are risky. Disease means death.

The situation is slightly more understandable with some of the dedicated meat eaters. Vultures for example, have unusually strong stomach acid to deal with the infectious agents. Snowshoe hares and ruminants don't have that.

Having been through dorm life in a decade past, I have to agree, it really is a consumptive experience. Being around a bunch of other 19-and-20-year-olds all day is only insightful in the sense that you get to see how poorly everyone, including yourself, actually tends to function at this age, and without good role models to know what you could do differently.

I find an increasingly strong case to be made for going the community-college-then-transfer route since it brings together a bunch of points that affect most students in some fashion:

* Cost(obviously)

* Transitioning to independent life(less pressure to be a study machine rushing through the degree)

* Indecisiveness about career and motivations(easier, less stressful classes)

Going to a "tough" or "prestigious" school allows you to tell a certain story about yourself, but it usually doesn't lead to well-roundedness, which sets the stage for that common story of a high-achieving student who gets on the perfect parent-approved career track and then abandons it - whether in the middle of the degree, shortly after the first job, or after a few years of work - due to burnout.

> When I left my previous employer, the reason was absolutely arbitrary. The new one paid more.

That is literally the inverse of what arbitrary means:

existing or coming about seemingly at random or by chance or as a capricious and unreasonable act of will

Now:

> I didn't have to wait for the old company to not pay me the agreed upon salary, spend months offering them a "compensation improvement plan", and documenting their failure to follow it in fear that they might sue me for leaving for the "wrong" reason. It's amazing how people pretend at-will employment is somehow equal for both sides when only employees can actually terminate the employment at-will.

Where I live you have (it's the law) to keep on working (and being paid for that work) for a certain number of weeks (depending on how long you have been working at that company). So the company can find a replacement, so you can wrap up things and pave the way for the transition. It's not rare that you can come up with an agreement that let you do that from home (because you are leaving on bad terms) or that the employee takes his vacant days or extra hours to fill up that period.

I found this statement hard to believe, so I checked. I can confirm you are right, and by a large margin. Wikipedia has a comparison of vegetable oils [1]. Hemp oil has the most polyunsaturated fatty acids, at 82%. However, it has a low burning point, so I guess it's best to use it in salads, rather than for frying.

They probably can ask a lot of free WiFi providers for this info, and these providers may have his phone number as well (I'll explain below). And to get a SIM card they would've needed to register with their ID, so the authorities could identify the bomber that way (assuming it wasn't a SIM that someone bought with their ID and sold to someone else, etc).

Some cafe chains or even national train networks offer free WiFi, but they ask you to register with your phone number and SMS verification, I've done this too but only now do I realize this means they can track my phone as it travels between train stations/cafe locations and automatically connect to their WiFi...

And this is why the future is looking so grim, unless we can somehow convince the population at large to accept this inconvenience.

The whole point of living in a nice neighborhood is that none of your neighbors or friends are on food stamps.

If you hire a data engineer who just wants to muck around in
the backend and hates working with less-technical folks,
you’re going to have a bad time.

I'm not sure this was the intent, but I found this somewhat dismissive. I think communication skills are indeed important and being able to effectively explain technical considerations to less-technical parties (or parties whose technical expertise is not aligned with Data Engineering), but I have encountered in my own experience an active disregard for those considerations by data scientists as orthogonal to their needs at best or at worst, details for which they cannot be bothered. This is underscored by the notion that we, as Data Engineers, "muck around in the backend." We do, and we have to, and it helps to like it.

There are a few other areas of input and contribution that a good data engineering team can provide, that I don't think get enough attention in the post:

1) Machine Learning Productionization
2) Being a source of data expertise (consulting) with other
developers (working on services or the main product) in
the organziation

Regarding 1, while the author seems convinced that the ELT/ETL tooling and ingestion pipeline building can be taken off-the-shelf, I don't if it is as likely that there is the same kind of mature tooling for machine learning model deployment/integration. Though, I believe that is changing, slowly.

US citizen here. I was in Mozambique, England, Romania and Denmark with my Fi phone in 2017. Despite being listed as a country Fi covered, I could never get service in Mozambique (Beria), despite spending a few hours with several courteous Google Fi customer support people. My experience in the European countries was satisfactory. I don't recall any issues and it was nice to have my US phone number just work in those places.

An earlier trip in 2016 to Tajikistan in central Asia with my Fi phone required purchasing a local SIM card.

I've since given up on Google Fi and switched my number back to Verizon and have been happily using a $200 Moto G5 Plus purchased through Amazon.

A delay'd paycheck is certainly a sacrifice for a number of people. Not everyone has emergency funds saved up, and a lot of people live paycheck to paycheck.

This is one of the few times a shutdown has lasted long enough to actually cause a missed paycheck. The last cases where a shutdown caused a missed paycheck was 2014, and before that 1995.

Its certainly not "normal".
