The docs say that it must be a literal:

However, you raise an interesting point about parsing. It is reasonable to want the server to do the parsing. You could, for example, tweak the grammar to add a new feature and do it entirely in an server update without needing to deploy a new client binary to every user. But then that makes it a bit harder to fix bugs like this.

There are surely some commands parsed and implemented by the client, though. Like connect, quit, and source for example. So another way to have designed this would be to make a local command to designate a file that the server will be allowed to access. You could define the path name on the client side and pass a symbolic reference to the server. Then the client could parse that command without taking on the burden of parsing SQL, and the client could still own opening files rather than taking orders from the server.
Ebola would have to change a good bit to become airborne. If that were to happen, it would be a very different disease and there is no reason to assume it continue to be nearly as deadly.
If a product is a counterfeit then the cost they are soaking up is not that of the return, but that of failing to police their supply chain. And they absolutely should be looking to minimise the hassle to the customers in that case.
So how much will a finished WordPress website end up costing? Just considering 20 hours will make the website cost $2000, and after that work the client will usually ask for other features and little touches here and there. Are you sure that this is what you can ask for a smallish WordPress website? I've read many times that this segment is usually called the "$500 WordPress website" segment... I think that when you start going over $2000 people start expecting a custom built website with completely customizable design/structure/graphics... at least this is my impression regarding website market in Europe. Does anyone feel the same about it?

As far as I can tell, no one knows for sure. Everyone has their bias, and tries to sound as sure of themselves as possible, often for financial reasons (buying books, reading their blog which has ads, promoting products, etc.)

So I try to do what makes the most sense to me. I eat a large variety of foods, so as not to leave out any nutrition. Lots of vegetables, some fruits, some nuts, lots of fish, and a little red meat.

I'm honestly not too worried about the impact of meat in my diet is. I eat very little red meat, maybe one serving every couple of weeks. And I think lab grown meat is going to be indistinguishable from traditional in the next 5 years both in price and taste/texture. How much of an impact am I alone going to have anyway? As for the ethics of it, I sleep fine at night.
More and more I'm finding myself trying to find other ways to shop for things. A recent example is ice skates, I need a new pair, but no matter what I search for I can't seem to find anything on amazon with good reviews or a brand that I trust. At this point I'm probably gonna end up going to dickes and buying something in store even though it's a little over my budget, I just don't wanna play the return game. Plus, it seems at least in this case, most of the options aren't available on prime, so shipping in both directions is gonna cost.
Sometimes it's just nice to have a conversation, you know? Not everyone is looking for an argument or criticism 100% of the time.

Go for it. Be a "terrible person". Write PoCs. It wouldn't be any worse than your attitude here. In addition, you'll enrich the ecosystem, and you might even learn something.

Look, chairman Xi isn't shy in saying that he regards Mao Zedong as his model, and that his goal is for ethnic Chinese inside and outside the mainland to line up single-mindedly behind Mao Zedong thought and, since he had it enshrined in foundational documents, Xi Jinping thought. You might not call that "dictatorship", but a lot of us do, and we don't welcome the concerted effort to export it to our countries. It's an aggressive and expansive ideology.

I know, I know: democracy and individual liberty is an aggressive and expansive ideology too. All that means is that the world is likely to square off over the distinction. As it should be.
The trope of "X is an echo-chamber" needs to die out. You say it like high-trust communities are a bad thing.

Toot! is the one you want. It’s fully-featured and can compete with other social network clients. It costs money, but it’s definitely a case of getting what you pay for.
They may have ruined online shopping but they haven’t solved it either. The clothing retailers (an area hard for amazon to move in on) will remain competitive.

I think the one area amazon absolutely has done right is customer service. If any other company made their customer service as good, easy, and simple, I think they would be able to catch up quickly as well.

For example: I recently bought a jacket on sale from Columbia sportswear. It didn’t get delivered to my unit properly (despite their usps tracking saying that it did), and when I emailed them about it: absolutely no response. My issue went into a black hole. Of course I have now blacklisted Columbia sports: never again. If this was an amazon purchase, I would have been able to resolve it almost immediately.

That is - for how long you can transmit the disease without showing symptoms.

The nightmare, of course, being a highly contagious, very deadly disease which let its victims infect others for weeks or months before falling ill themselves.

I recall having read somewhere that a 'good' thing about ebola is that it mostly gets its victims before they've had a chance to travel very far, thus limiting its spread.
Depends on what you're using the cache for. Postgres is definitely fast enough for reads of a K/V pair at a scale your master node can support for most use cases, but there are cases that you can't suit with postgres alone at-scale, e.g:

1. Needing a consistent (meaning reading off replicas is not fresh enough) data source for reads and writes that happens every request to very high-request site. Think sessions, api rate limiting.

2. Needing a fast store for denormalized data.
The problem is that the thinking of 'I am just one person, how much impact does doing .. really have?' is dangerous. Because such thinking compounds where everyone can start thinking that (where in reality no one even questions the impact their actions have) and thus no change is ever made (and in this case animals still suffer on a global scale).

I honestly think knowing the things we know about the meat industry and complete disregard for animal rights that the current world has, it is unwise to go to a supermarket and buy nicely packaged meat on the shelf.

Although my question wasn't about ethics of it but about health. I am just curious if that is indeed the case that whole food plant based diet is not enough to support a fully healthy human life.
> If one has great work ethics, the connection to the teacher doesn't really matter because one would learn regardless

If one has great work ethics, there is a possibility that the student with connect better with the teacher. Do you have concrete references that prove that under the condition that the teacher has great work ethics, the effectiveness of learning is independent of connection to the teacher. Equivalently, do you have references that show that the effectiveness of learning is more or less the same in both of these cases: (1) Teacher has great work ethics and students have better connection to the teacher (2) Teacher has great work ethics and the students have poorer connection to the teacher.

> fear can have a really positive effect when it comes to learning something

You seem to be presenting a personal anecdote that opposes a peer-reviewed study of Patricia K. Kuhl from University of Washington but you do not present any evidence to corroborate your claim. It's great that fear worked out well for your class but without supporting evidence for it, I doubt if this would work for the majority. I would be wary of using fear as a tool while teaching.
All that TBD and subject to change doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that they will be able to make their April 2019 shipping deadline.

Yeah, but that documentary "the staircase" could have been told in a much more succinct fashion, as so can many others.
British TV, especially BBC and Channel 4 have always been exceptionally good at knowing when to kill off a series at the right point. Just compare the difference between something like the UK Office vs the US Office or the BBC version of Sherlock vs the US version called Elementary.

Another example, the BBC Series the Bodyguard (a different concept but similar enough) or Israeli Homeland vs US Homeland. The US has made the mistake on a number of times of taking a great concept and dragging it out too long. Maybe one of the few that was justified was House of Cards, where the longer US version was (arguably) better than the UK version...

I agree that we are more pessimistic about technology, but that's a reductionist view of the Dark Forest theory. And it doesn't even hold up with their example. Millions of people did the 10 year challenge, but a Wired article suggested it's a ruse, therefore we don't trust new technology, except when millions of people did (never mind that this isn't even an example of "technology").
Unrelatedly: what's the deal lately with these faceless zombie figures being featured prominently in designers' designs? They're everywhere, from smaller Silicon Valley startups, to giant corps (Google), and now to services like this.
I find it interesting that we think of Amazon as having gotten "customer service" right. I've had two classes of experience with Amazon:

Products they act as a seller for, and products they act as a producer for.

When I'm buying item X and it's not up to par, Amazon's response is invariably "just send it on back and we'll refund you." At one point I complained I'm not taking a half-day off work to get this $5 item in the mail and they said never mind, just keep it, and we'll refund you anyway.

Awesome.

OTOH, they have a $10/mo (or so) a la carte book service, labelled "Prime Books," with a "free" subtitle (or it was - I haven't checked back recently.) Clicking on it was auto-enrolling. I didn't find out for a few months that they'd apparently one-click-enrolled me in a recurring monthly bill. It took me 3 hours on the phone to get them to partially refund it, and it ended with me closing my account then and there. Despite having been a member since they more or less "opened their doors," and a good chunk of my household spending going through their portal, refunding money from their own service was a line in the sand for them.

The opposite of love isn't hate. The opposite of love is indifference. Relationships can survive hate and return to love. When they just stop caring, the relationship is over.

> the fact that I am watching Fortnite streams means that these services just do not have good fresh content.

I don’t think that follows at all. We most likely just do what’s easiest.

Just like one wouldn’t suggest that there aren’t any worthwhile books or things to do in life just because you spent the day watching Fortnite streams or shooting heroin.
I’ve definitely reached the point where I’ll only make Amazon purchases for specifically branded goods. I tend to use social media networks to find product recommendations, like Reddit. There’s no question that some brands pay people to subtlety advertise there as well, but it usually feels easy to get through to the truth on hobbyist subreddits
Steven Pinker calls it the “the curse of knowledge”. I noticed the behavior at the university, many professors seriously underestimated the amount of time required to learn chemistry or the lack of background most students had on what is “common knowledge” among students.

The authors believe that their audience already knows most of their vocabulary and are familiar with the same technologies. Additionally, authors underestimate the amount it takes to learn something they are familiar with.

Pinker believes that this behavior results in bad prose, by extension tutorials of poor quality.

> But there’s a reason that we used to have shoe stores, hardware stores, grocery stores, bookstores, and all the rest: Those specialized retail spaces allow products, and the people with knowledge about them, to engage in specialized ways of finding, choosing, and purchasing them.

There's a reason why so much commerce has moved online in general and to Amazon in particular: We often value price and convenience and oodles of consumer reviews and easy access to competition and related info more than we value meat space salespeople with specialized knowledge laying on personalized sales pressure.

Not always. I drove for three hours to shop for an office chair in a brick and mortar store, because I had to actually try it before paying the big bucks. But often enough to remake the economy.

I assume you are talking about GUIs over TCP/IP, in which case a large part of the reason is the mismatch between what is used by most GUI software versus what we use over TCP. Most of the best ideas get voted down, and there is no agreement about how high level or low level the language should be. As an example, see what I wrote in “The problem with HTML”

http://www.smashcompany.com/technology/the-problem-with-html

It’s worth remembering that Swing has been stable for awhile, after a terrible era when new layouts were being proposed every 6 months. And Flash had a long era , nearly 20 years, of remaining mostly the same (though ActionScript 3 was a significant change compared to version 2).

There has been a lot of talk about generating GUIs as pure SVG, but this hasn’t happened yet. Is that too low level? There has been some talk of generating GUIs with PostScript, but that hasn’t happened yet. Is that too low level?

I suspect change will be constant until the industry reaches some consensus about what level causes the least pain.

I don’t believe Javascript will survive. Eventually this current era will be a bad memory and we will laugh about Javascript the way we now laugh about Swing and ActionScript.
Do we really have to go through this again?

As part of the customer category that spends tens of thousands on Amazon per year, having shifted the majority of my non niche spending for physical goods to the platform, I've found their error rate to be well under 1%. I also return <1% of my orders for other reasons. I've contacted customer service maybe 3 times in total over the span of 10 years and each time the issue was resolved incredibly quickly and effectively. Maybe I'm in the minority here? Or is it just the errors that get all the attention.

However, that confusion within categories has increased is undeniable. Try to buy a bath towel and be flooded with similar items with similar reviews. The ability to search and sort efficiently has definitely declined dramatically. It takes a lot more effort to make sure you're buying what you wanted for certain categories, particularly soft ones. I can no longer trust that the best selection is going to be on the first page of results.

I wonder if Amazon will draw the line somewhere on how wide, how encompassing of a platform it is for third party vendors. It seems to have pushed itself over a limit.
i wonder if kids today share the same excitement regarding technology as we did in those times. Everytime my dad brang a new computer home , i was literally dreaming of it afterward. Every new generation of computer were letting you do things so obviously different, it was incredible.

The good news here is that virus genomes are usually so small and parsimonious that they find it hard to cross significant fitness valleys between different local maxima.

I recently went down the rabbit hole of trying to buy Yorkshire Gold tea on Amazon (I am in the US). I encountered so many bad reviews of users complaining about the quality, and the flavor being weakened, or not the authentic YG flavor, that I gave up. It was impossible to tell to which seller each bad review was attributable.

I went on Ebay, found decent UK sellers in less than 5 minutes, and ordered my tea. Downside of course, is that it will take 2-3 weeks to get here, but at least I know what I'm getting.

> a lot of us

Who is "us" here? Anecdotally, a lot of Chinese people just don't care that much about the specifics of their political system as long as the economy keeps growing strongly and social harmony is encouraged. And yes, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and now Xi Jinping Thought are regarded as important models and doctrines for how China should develop in the future. And they seem to be working well enough so far. "Democracy and individual liberty" may be okay for the West (though even here they're quite recent developments historically!), but China is a huge country with a very significant legacy of its own, and we should respect that.
