States can’t expressly discriminate against foreign (i.e., out of state) businesses, but it’s never been held that they can’t subsidize local businesses. Whether the latter amounts to the same thing as the former is an interesting academic question, but the law doesn’t yet say so.
It isn’t what you do everyday, it is how and why and with what amount of intent.

Lightweight versions of websites without all the bloat
Have you thought about requesting to change the number of your house to one that doesn't exist on the other side of town? That is usually much easier and cheaper than changing the street name.
BitWarden is much better than LastPass and Dashlane IMHO.

LastPass's UI has much to be desired and is quite buggy.

Dashlane has a nice UI but I find it much too slow and there were times that their extension would just freeze my machine (tried multiple devices). Also was quite buggy too. Not the cheapest either.

Bitwarden seems pretty solid though, it's cheap for the premium service. Has a nice UI too. Their iPhone/Android apps are decent also.
You can get a decent handheld VHF walkie that lets you also tune in on ATC for a quarter of that price.

There is also a meta to this. He is telling people in the past that their children will not have to work as long/hard. In doing this he gives people a dream to think about while they slog away in their own work. It is an escapism fantasy. I've worked at places where they lay people off, half of the group and the other half has to pick up the pieces. a few months later when it gets really bad and people are burning out, a Senior VP comes in to "listen" to people and put up a front that the company cares and tries to sell the employees on the idea that it will get better and that the company only want to keep people occupied 73% of the time. Their numbers I don't know how they came up with that 73%, but people ate it up and still got burned out, all the while talking about how things will get better and somehow that 73% will happen. It never did.
Most of my childhood, from age 8 to 16 or so, was making HyperCard games. I learned so much, and certainly owe my career to what I learned.

I used to checkout “The HyperCard Bible” from the library basically on repeat.
It's harder to enforce regulation at the same level as for a domestic carrier. How easy is it to track the quality of pilot training, or aircraft maintenance parts half a world away?
Cleaning accounts from your password manager and cleaning your accounts from the internet are two very different things. The article and my comment were about the former.

I agree with you though, that a well-known url for delete would be good. However, there's likely to be a high correlation between sites that get breached and sites that don't follow best practices, including implementing optional URLs like that.

In general, it's also easy to see why a lot of (non technical) site/product owners wouldn't want to implement that: "why do I care about making things easier for people that want to terminate doing business with me?" Until a majority of users are using a browser/plugin that warns about this ("non trustworthy site: this site does not implement well-known password change or delete account interfaces") I suspect there won't be much adoption, unfortunately. This proved to work well to get SSL widely deployed, so the question is if there can be enough momentum to do it again for these functions.
> Sending messages between Erlang processes was not as cheap as we expected, and the reduction cost — Erlang unit of work used for process scheduling — was also quite high.

This is really surprising to me, and definitely something the elixir team should look at optimizing. Sending messages should be extremely fast.

.. several million people in the US and Europe did this, in the 1960s and 1970s, and none of them built HyperCard. Please include a full perspective, as emphasis on the chemical will be a plus to some, but a hard negative to many more..
You wouldn't, and good for you having recognized that. :) There are always exceptions to rules though. Perhaps your code is stateless consumer of an api, but you want to store your username and api key somewhere, so why not in a class? Perhaps you want to create a large number of namespaces and it is more convenient to use static stateless classes than create one new file for each namespace? Some programmers also shy away from module-level variables because to set them in the same module that they are defined requires using the global keyword.

Classes also has some extra trickery over modules which you can use and abuse. Such as __getattr__ and __getitem__.
Much less than 16 seconds. And that gives you a whole IDE.
Having gone through some of their Elixir libraries, I concluded the opposite. They have some very inefficient and ugly code in a lot of places.
The indicator indicates background activities. Eg. If you are using Google maps for navigation, the bar will show when you switch away from Google maps. But when you switch back, now it's happening in the foreground and the indicator disappears.

Therefore, if John Oliver (or, more precisely, his corporation, Central Asset Recovery Professionals, also known as “CARP”) had simply forgiven the debt, the debtors might have been taxable on the amount forgiven. Fortunately, that’s not what John Oliver actually did. Instead, he donated the debt to Medical Debt Resolution, Inc., which goes by the name, “RIP Medical Debt” (“RIP”). RIP is a Section 501(c)(3) charity whose purpose is to provide charitable aid by purchasing and forgiving the medical debt of poor people. RIP forgave the debt as a gift to the debtor out of “detached and disinterested generosity.” And that is why the debtors were not taxable.

SBCL 1.5.0 released – and user survey
Most of these seem very natural (if you've messed with LEGO before), but I hadn't realized that specific materials choices were the reason that the cone-around-bar construction is a problem (I remember having a terrible time trying to undo that exact configuration). Super interesting deck!

One thing that the presentation only slightly addresses is the standards for overall structural integrity. Official sets seemed to favor a very "light" building style (to make constructions simpler? to save on materials?) that had a reasonably sturdy base (so the set can be picked up without collapsing) but which were vulnerable to lateral attacks or dropping (which would shatter stacked stud-based connections). My experience was that you could typically make models much stronger by adding vertical/diagonal braces via technic pieces.

This is more likely to be a problem if you split your services up by noun (Users,Orders) rather than by function (makeOrder, loginService, etc). This isn't bulletproof either but I've seen it helps reduce this occurrence a lot. Pardon the poor examples

Well ideally it would end when we know what the fuck we are doing.. the number of bugs I find in all sorts of software (with Apple being one of the worst offenders) is frankly embarrassing and a pox mark of the entire industry.

If planes were as reliable as software they would be the leading cause of death in the world.
That's something that the BEAM group would work on, although jose has contributed some patches to the compiler.
I have no insight into how Erlang performs this process, but I'd assume Erlang is performing sending messages almost as fast as it's possible, as it's a key part of the platform and has had two decades to perfect it. Most likely this is a limitation of the paradigm (of the Actor model) and not the implementation.
No I mean Erlang.

The last readout they were at an altitude of 1325ft, with a vertical descent of 29504 feet per minute (~335mph). So that reading was (probably) roughly 2-3 seconds before hitting the ground.
While it's a gamble, one way that worked for me 2 years ago: Work extremely hard and dazzle them for 6 months. Make sure that you are extremely critical to the project you are on. Give notice and let them offer. I didn't plan it out when I joined but I needed to move out of the area because of elder care issues. I was hoping they would offer but wasn't counting on it. It worked out well for me and the company.
Respectfully, I call bullshit on this.

We know some very good ways to build reliable software. It's just that most industries can't / don't want to pay the costs associated with doing so.

The don't-know / don't-want distinction is functionally irrelevant, but I have a minor tick about it because asserting the former is often used to avoid admitting to the later.

Legacy IBM and ATT, for all their cluster%_$^!s, were amazing at engineering reliable systems (software and hardware). Maybe that's not practical nowadays, outside of heavily regulated industries like military / aerospace, because markets have greater numbers of competitors. But we do know how.

An accurate and modern truth would probably be "We don't know how to quickly build reliable software at low cost."
That'd be good for personal privacy from malicious software but it would be easily defeatable by anyone that wants to use the camera unnoticed.
Indeed. We (not Amazon) had customer parcels on UPS 1354 and, upon learning of the crash, set about figuring which parcels were possibly/likely on the plane, starting re-orders for them, and upon getting final confirmation from UPS, notifying customers of the delay and that a re-order was already in progress and when they should expect to receive it. (Our products are all customized and so we didn’t want to wait for the final confirmation to begin making things rights.)

As far as I know, zero customers complained about the obviously tragic and unusual circumstances of the delay.

For Amazon, they almost surely know with immediate certainty what was on the plane, and are mostly selling from stock, making the resolution easier in some ways (though larger scale on the other hand).

We treated this response as an ad-hoc process and have zero plans to systemize the response to a once every few decades issue.
Yes exactly the sort of thing I was wondering. Seems like you know what's possible now, soon, and later. Looking forward to hearing about or experiencing next achievements.
I just want a phone that has a manual physical toggle button that kills the power to the cameras if any apps need the camera they can just notify me to please toggle that switch.

I don't think that would be reasonable. Unless there is a significant safety issue or privacy issue that would be solved, I don't think the government should force manufacturers to add features to their phones, seems like a pretty extreme overreach. Any LED added could easily be removed or covered up in a few seconds, so I don't see how it changes anything.
My take is yes. Shared infrastructure is always a risk. It seems to encourage other bad choices.

Yes, you can design around it. Good discipline around libraries with schemas, and such. These are almost always more code than letting a service own all communication with an infrastructure.
That question seems like trolling, but I'll answer it anyway. On 90% plus of my trips, I never use gas, and I'd estimate 90% of the rest I use gas for less than 3 miles. So I save a lot of money, it's better for the environment, I rarely have to go to a gas station, and since I use the engine so infrequently the maintenance costs are much lower.

But most importantly, I love the way an electric car drives. Smooth, incredibly fast, quiet acceleration is a joy, and the times I have to go back to driving an ICE car I immediately miss having an electric motor.
My understanding is that that's not true, since if some other process (postgres or not) fsyncs the same file, then kernel will act as if it's been retried (because fsync called twice) so it will not report error correctly.
That seems like a pretty good idea. Federally mandated breach investigation when more than X people are compromised. Guidelines are put in place that can be audited.

Apple selling iPhone SE at lower $249 price on its clearance store (Again)
Completely agree with the article. If each piece of code has its own data store, you lose all the advantages of the DBMS: you have to handwrite your joins, your transaction system and get all sorts of problems with cache invalidation, data inconsistencies and n+1 fetching. Encapsulation is important, but there are better ways to do it, such as using the authorization system of your DBMS.
In reality we all work too much. 8 hours a day is extreme, we should strive for 2-4 hours.

AlgoliaHN and Reddit's Ranking Script
Do you know that first hand, or is this a case that you can see the cracks in the software industry because you are part of it?

I worked as a mechanic years ago, and I feel the same way about cars as you (and I) do about software. Everything is duct taped together and it's a miracle any of it works as well as it does.

Safety regulations and tests are gamed to all hell, reliability almost always seems to come from an evolutionary method of "just keep using what works and change what doesn't" with hastily tacked on explanations as to why it works, and marketing is so divorced from reality that people assume significantly more is happening in the car than really is.

Now I don't know anything about civil engineering or aricraft, but I have a hunch it's not as well put together as it may seem at first glance.

I still think that software is behind those other fields, and I'm honestly still on the fence if regulations would significantly help or would just slow things down, but it's absolutely the "wild west" in software.
They likely don’t need a specific plan. Airplanes go offline for heavy maintenance checks periodically and the carrier needs capacity to cover for that (or other AOG [broken airplane-“airplane on ground”] scenarios).
Actually I tried the other way around: never being a jerk, never lie or cheat. But I couldn't manage: people take advantage of you and you get frustrated.

Now, building strengh, characters, and participating to alternatives to the status quo are better long term strategies.

But on the short term, always playing by the rules is a serious disadvantages in some environments.
"Then it sends request to users service to get missing information about users" What information would an order need to know about the user except for its ID? Shipping address? That could have been stored in the order db. Usually there is an orchestration layer above these services such as graphql, that merges all the data together for presenting to the UI. Somewhere there needs to be a defined contract between service boundaries so that internals can be changed without affecting all dependent systems. The db is not a good place for this contract.

Just yesterday, I was watching an episode of "This Week in Startups" [0]. At about 12:20, the conversation turns to jobs, UBI, etc. and his guest, Rabios, starts going on about how depressed people would be without jobs, with statements like this:

>"The by-product of your toil is what makes you human in many ways, and if you pay people not to work, you're actually destroying their self-worth."

My first thought was "well, that's convenient, coming from a guy who makes his living from the work of others".

But, of course, it's also likely that he and the "investor-class"--as well as a broad segment of people, including much of startup culture--really are so disconnected from reality, that they can't fathom that not everyone is in a position to "create", "find fulfillment", or otherwise change the world through their labor.

But, do they not notice when they see people cleaning toilets, etc? Or is it just those people's moral failing?

Calacanis then goes on to make the case that young men become despondent and start riots, turn to terrorism, etc because they are unemployed. This, as if their despondency in unemployment has everything to do with not having access to work as the sole means of fulfillment; and nothing to do with the fact that we've structured society in such a way that we cannot subsist at any level of decency, except through our labor.

I think these people have convinced themselves of the inherent truth of workism, because it serves them and because it is their experience. But, with this increasing disconnect and the mounting pressures faced by workers, the situation will ultimately be untenable.

Seems like the kind of solution that can be defeated with a couple cents of black nail polish
Independent federal agencies are, by design not accountable to public opinion, except indirectly through the election of the President, who appoints commissioners. Agencies are designed to be guided by expert opinions and judgment. The purpose of APA comments, thefore, is not to poll the public. It is to ensure that the agency considers all the relevant “written data, views, or arguments.” 5 USC 553(c). Legally, a rule making cannot be challenged on the basis that it is contrary to the weight of public opinion. It can only be challenged on the basis that the order adopting the rule doesn’t adequately address the “data, views, and arguments” raised in the comments. https://digitalcommons.law.ou.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?articl.... Accordingly, a large number of comments that raise the same views cannot have any impact in the rule making. The soundbite you quoted, therefore, is a completely unremarkable statement about regulatory law.

That also makes sense. Regulatory agencies micro-manage businesses to a greater degree than ordinary legislation, including managing prices. When you remove those things from the purview of the market and business judgment, you can’t subject it to the whims of the public. If you had a vote on it, electricity would be free and there would be no money to invest in power plants or the grid.

(Now, spamming an agency website with fake comments is a highly problematic action from a systems integrity and computer security point of view, no doubt. That’s a separate issue from the agency’s rule making policy.)

I don't understand the problem. If the report needs order details and user details, and current data isn't available because some piece of the system has a problem, there's going to be no report today regardless of what the database is like and what concerns are separated or not. C'est la vie.

Moreover, the real dependency is from the report to the orders and the users; the article takes for granted that the report is shoehorned into the orders component, but it's clearly arbitrary.
