Did saying this make you feel better about yourself or something?

Because it's a ridiculously naive statement at best. More likely just some sanctimonious BS you decided to post to signal how much of a good person you are.

Like seriously, what world do you live in where you can't picture a person doing something to take advantage of another person? Have you read literally anything in history?
The theory of natives wiping out American megafauna is well-disputed. It was probably a combination of factors (possibly including hunting).

The idea of primitive people being more in tune with the earth doesn't have to go hand-in-hand with the "noble savage" romanticization. There's evidence that North America was essentially a well-managed game reserve. For people that didn't have much in the ways of truly domesticated livestock, it makes sense that they worked towards food security in a different way than societies that had cattle and pigs. By necessity, they would have had to develop practical and efficient methods for managing their food source. So sure, they were probably much more in tune with nature their contemporary Europeans or modern Americans, if "in tune" means having the know-how to bend and shape the natural world for their benefit.

Whether an API is "good" or "bad" often is dependent on the requirements of the calling client.

I'm not sure to what you are referring.

Are you talking about Azure Artifacts? Like I said, I'm using Azure Artifacts as a Private NPM repository for proprietary packages. It also providing caching benefits was a pleasant surprise.

For my projects using Artifacts as their NPM repository, they use an .npmrc at the repository top level to only use that feed (and its pass through capability to the public feed), so for those projects it is the same stack from dev through to production. As I said, the one caveat is that if I need to `npm audit` (which is generally a good idea) I currently have to redirect to the main public NPM feed. Other than that it is a solid replacement NPM feed.
Very neat idea! I like do this locally in Emacs (by scraping `M-x eww` output!), but having an API is a great idea! How would you go about using it on sites that require login (for prototyping private apis for example)?

Also, it says it uses serverless-chrome for running chrome on AWS lambda... is that "expensive"?

More like 30%. Fewer still track their periods, and the details of how they are timed, as well as entry into or exit from the pool of people who do, can be an indicator of much more sensitive information than the simple fact of being a woman who falls in a certain age range.

The fact of the matter is, this data isn't just comparable to medical history; it is medical history.

> However, at the same time apparently Larry Ellison was advising her.

Interesting, considering Steve Jobs acknowledged Ellison as his best friend after his return to Apple, at a time when Oracle was considered the 2nd largest software company in the world. It makes sense that she would turn to Ellison for advice all in the name of trying to be like her idol, Steve Jobs.

Holmes underestimated the amount of technical risk she needed to overcome to succeed in the marketplace, as did the Google founders when Larry Page initially came up with PageRank but had no clue just how long it would take to download the entire web to disk. But the Google guys unlike Holmes had a lot of help from their advisors combined with Stanford university resources, which allowed them to stay immune to investor pressure to show results for invested capital.

For a technology like finger-prick based tests to succeed, you’ll need to expend millions of USD in a university research lab before you begin to see promising results that are repeatable. Essentially, Theranos should have started out as a science project (like BackRub which birthed Google) and not as a startup. She picked the wrong vehicle for her mission.

Ellison on the other hand piggy-backed on a seminal 1970 paper by IBM researcher: E.F. Codd to launch Oracle [0]. In those days, hierarchical and network databases were the competing database paradigms. Codd’s paper introduced the relational model as the third competing paradigm which turned out to be vastly simpler than the other models. The simplicity afforded by RDBMSes unlocked a lot of value and ultimately created wealth for the database industry.

> How many computer science classes are needed for your degree?

Most non-US universities don't work like this. You get a programme that you follow, sometimes with alternatives that you can pick from. You don't have a target number of classes or credits or hours to complete. Everyone takes the same classes (except for the alternatives) at the same time in one big cohort all the way through the degree. There's not much flexibility for a minimum or maximum - there's just the one set path.
npm's lockfile is a pain to diff in PRs because of the JSON format where what was maybe 20 changed lines in yarn is upwards of 80 from the brackets.

With YAML and whatever format yarn.lock was in, the only changed lines are changes to the version resolutions, hash and dependencies.
Last time I had an eye exam (UK, Boots) they of course gave me the prescription because they are obliged to, but under no circumstances would they give me a PD. I forget their exact reason but it was something about needing to relate it to the choice of glasses. Sounded like horse-shit designed to make me buy their overpriced frames to me. I do not expect to have any better luck this year.
He should rethink his lack of Instant Pot.
He’s right. I’ve been using Flow for 2 or 3 years, the tool does the job but it has many bugs and NO support AT ALL. Same for the communication, no roadmap, no yearly post about what’s going on, nothing. I started moving our projects to TS too.
Microsoft Acquires Citus Data: Creating the World's Best Postgres Experience
"Up to 80% of a dog's alerts are wrong" can't be evaluated without more information about base rate. If this is occurring in a context where the dogs are only being brought out when there's already prior cause to expect narcotics with >10% likelihood, that doesn't look good for the police. But if that number is more like 1%, even an 80% false positive rate corresponds to doing more than half of the remaining classification work (it's appropriate to look at this on a logistic scale).

(Also, "up to" should be unpacked; a 95% confidence interval is a lot more informative than a rough upper bound.)
That's the case in some liberal arts colleges, but is not typical, or at least wasn't in the early 00's when I went to school. Then most students did have to declare a major pretty early, usually when you applied for competitive majors like CS was back then. There was a "University Studies" major which you could be in for the first year if you were undeclared, but it was pretty important to declare a real major pretty quickly.

I suspect this wouldn't be as much of a problem in the valley if so many investors and VCs weren't so incapable of critical thinking. The Juicero debacle comes to mind.

edit: As someone coming into tech from physical science, I have never seen the Dunning-Krueger effect anywhere like I do in tech. It's mainly in the management, but folks do have a very serious problem accepting expertise from scientists or engineers outside of tech industry.
> “No two cycles are exactly the same, even in the same woman,” warns Anna Glasier, a leading contraception researcher at the University of Edinburgh. An app “does nothing but rely on people not having intercourse at a certain point in the cycle. And we know that doesn’t work very well.”

If the article is about privacy, then it should focus on that. The above comment seems tendentious like it betrays a prejudice against NFP as if to spread FUD about it by associating it with loss of privacy. Use a notebook or an offline app if privacy is an issue (I would).
In the U.S. we typically feel compelled to tip. This might not be the case for you if you aren’t in the U.S. I looked into using Postmates to try it out and it came to around $10 to use if I didn’t tip generously.
I agree, they don't quite fit into the list. I meant all kinds of cameras, including DSLR. It was just an additional electronic device many people used to own that got replaced by the increasing capabilites of a smartphone. Just like netbooks were replaced by tablets, and tablets were replaced by phablets. And now almost every single smartphone is of the size of a phablet (>= 5.5in).
A $41B Flash Crash in Singapore Gives Traders a Fright
That makes a lot of sense now that you point it out. Thank you.
I started out anti-labor due to my own experience in a minimum wage job. I was forced to join the union and pay union dues, yet I still received only the minimum wage, so being a union member resulted in a sub-minimum wage!

Another objection I had to unions is, they tend to promote an "us vs them" mentality, when instead, everyone should be working together.

The destruction of the middle class shows that the balance of power is too extreme on the side of the employer, and something has to be done.
Looks interesting, not sure why they went with Creative Commons as a license though. It's "Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International" for those curious.

>Holmes forged ahead but was running out cash... This was in the midst of the Great Recession. ... Holmes found someone to help. In 2009, she got an enormous loan from a former software executive named Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani.

> "I think it was about $20 million." Holmes recalled to the SEC in a never-before-aired deposition obtained by "Nightline."

> there was another detail revealed that Holmes had been less forthcoming about: She admitted that she and Balwani had been living together and had engaged in a romantic relationship. It was something she admitted under oath but had kept from investors.
To be fair, I was expecting the downvotes. For two reasons:

1) For a long time, there was no "institutional" left in the United States; so in the US - liberalism was seen as the "left". This is slowly changing now...

2) The tech crowd wants really to believe to be progressive (because they work on "progressive" technologies); but in fact, I never saw so many real life liberals like among tech workers.
With Twitter I can pretty easily block/unfollow/etc people. I can also ban words. I use Twitter to follow interesting people.

On Facebook I want to follow friends, but I can't mute topics, which means I get a ton of crab.

People complain about Twitter because they don't block enough, or because they can't stand the idea that some people out there have different opinions than they do; which will cause them a ton of grief, but if you can't figure out how to use a tool, does that make it a bad tool?
Technically no, but practically it does, so long as massive corporations exist. I think you can argue that with smaller scale business you can work to better employee conditions without collective action, but given the power and resources that a corporation can bring to bear it's hard to imagine effective bettering of employee conditions without collective action.
Er, deliveroo delivers from restaurants.

Justeat delivers from fast food.

Deliveroo costs more because it's providing a delivery service for restaurants that don't normally deliver.

So I'm getting good food. When in a restaurant, things sit in a kitchen for 10 minutes waiting for the rest of your order anyway. 10 minutes in a thermal bag is the same.
They fooled everyone. Idk if you read the book but they fooled EVERYONE. Their board: included William Perry (former Secretary of Defense), Henry Kissinger (former Secretary of State), Sam Nunn (former U.S. Senator), Bill Frist (former U.S. Senator and heart-transplant surgeon), Gary Roughead (Admiral, USN, retired), James Mattis (General, USMC), Richard Kovacevich (former Wells Fargo Chairman and CEO) and Riley Bechtel (chairman of the board and former CEO at Bechtel Group). Henry Kissinger was on their board!

Investors: by the Walton family ($150 million), Rupert Murdoch ($121 million), Betsy DeVos ($100 million), the Cox family (of Cox Media Group) ($100 million), and Robert Kraft (of the New England Patriots).

You would figure there was no faking these people out. How do you dupe former Secretary of States and Generals whom are supposed to be some of the most stringent, dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's. It's just an amazing story of how personality can change everything and cause people to have massive blindspots.
And if she had visited reddit or HN or any one of numerous sites they would have repeated the meme that "no one knows what they're doing anyway, just fake it till you make it", and she would have shrugged and kept on trucking.

Sorry, it's easy to forget what the commodity prices of some of the Azure DevOps tools are given that various combinations of MSDN licenses and Office 365 plans cover them. It's great that you can pick and choose now, though.

Like I said, caching is only a useful side effect of Artifacts for npm and NuGet users (that have access to Artifacts). I would believe/hope that Microsoft may still have interest in adding proper caching to Azure Pipelines directly.
Fairly recent PhD graduate here (graduated last year). My observations are that the skills required to do a PhD are orthogonal to the skills required to pass FAANG interviews and, more importantly, to being a good software engineer.

I don't dispute you can make a higher salary than a faculty member, even without working at a FAANG, but having a PhD won't automatically make you eligible to get such a job.

There is plenty of capital in the world right now that there is no reason not to build all different kinds of new transportation schemes. Elon's first tunnel got NIMBYed. One main feature of tunnels is that you can, hopefully, put them lots of places where surface building is impossible. What people put in them will be up to the builders.

Construction costs has not come down in price over time like many other things have. I think he hopes that the Boring Company can list a price/mile for tunneling that is much lower than current costs and let people actually budget them. Maybe sell these better machines to other construction companies at some point. He broke the cost-plus pricing for satellite launches. Just think what something like that for tunneling could do for transportation systems. Billion dollar overruns are on the digger not the public. That would be great.
Congratulations! You figured out that this isn’t about “theft of services” or anything like that.

It’s about

1) Legalizing retaliation in case you mention the union meeting to a coworker over a Slack private message.

2) Drastically reducing the visibility of union organization in the workplace. That makes it much harder to reach critical mass.
How do people think it will play out both tech-culturally and politically if she gets convicted / acquitted?

If convicted, justice would be had but would it send a negative message to entrepreneurs?

If acquitted, might it reinforce the "break things and move fast even if it harms people mentality"?
The short answer is that because there is a huge variety in quality of high schools in the US, that would result in a lack of diversity.
It boggles the mind that members of the jury can be selected by the prosecution or defence in this way (or at all, really).

I understand the need to disqualify people if they have severe learning difficulties, have special knowledge that would disrupt the process, or if they are incapable of finding one of the possible verdicts, but otherwise the selection should be a random cross-section of society.

Given that React is already heavily invested in Flow types, there would be _some_ form of rewrite.

And like I said, Flow is providing sufficient benefit for the React team right now, and their focus is on expanding React's capabilities. Changing type systems is not on their radar as far as I know.

I'm thinking "Not Invented Here".
All the responses so far are seem really helpful but also quite specific. It might also be useful to understand the problem space at a higher level. We also see this in good database design. Which says that every record should always have a unique id that is not related to any of the other data. This allows you to freely change things like product descriptions, short name, SKU, price, weight, etc. Because you know that no matter what else changes, you have a unique ID to refer back to, that will get you to that product. Since a unique ID is often a random looking string, there is nothing stopping you from also having a human friendly lookup code for a product. For example, unique id is 186746, but the lookup code is BRWNCOUCH37. If the couch doesn't change color, the lookup code stays good. But if it does, you can change even the lookup code. Because the product unique id remains 186746.

So unique IDs are useful in many places other than just error codes. Hope that helps.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some spillover from Washington or California, but I doubt that it can be an incredibly high percentage.

Frankly, I think it’s better that these cans and bottles are being recycled, fraudulently or otherwise. I’m sure it hurts the Oregon pocketbook, but according to the article, the cost of the program is only six figures. This is only a problem (cost wise) when redemption is over 100%.

But "being very liberal" is not the same as "being very pro USA Democrats".

Liberals are often right wing parties in other countries. Basically you have a scale from socialism where everything in your life is dictated by social contracts to liberalism where almost nothing in your life is dictated by social contracts. The left in the US calling themselves liberals is kinda like the north korea calling themselves "democratic people's republicc". Their only liberal agenda is freedom from the Christian social contract.
Well this is great news for the guys at Citus - they created something great as a Postgres add-on and a big chunk of it was open sourced.

They made a decent cloud business model out of it (no idea how successful but everyone I asked was happy with it).
