Instead of outright banning them, why not require a strict maximum dB level rating (in other words as tested by an independent lab).

Personally I’m in favor of limiting noise output rather than outright banning.

Otherwise it’s tyrannical for a minority to tell the majority what they may and may not do.
It's diagnosed through a blood test. As far as I know, you can't really diagnose it accurately in any other way. But in developed countries the rule of thumb on that is:

Do you work outside in the sun? Do you eat a lot of fish? Do you take a vitamin D supplement? If you answered "no" to all of these questions then you probably have a vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency is very common.

>The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005 to 2006 data were analyzed for vitamin D levels in adult participants (N = 4495). Vitamin D deficiency was defined as a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations ≤20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L). The overall prevalence rate of vitamin D deficiency was 41.6%, with the highest rate seen in blacks (82.1%), followed by Hispanics (69.2%).

Some people complain the results aren't as good as Google but I think they have either forgotten and/or never learned how to search. Since the engine has no PII on you, it can't handle ambiguity well. A good heuristic is if your query would give you a disambiguation page on Wikipedia, add a few terms.

I've been using it exclusively for a while, and the only time I really go back to Google is for their maps.
Doesn't this mean he/she was more used to the old functionality, which didn't work and perhaps hadn't been sufficiently retrained on the new operating procedure?
One point of contention for me is the dichotomy between the managers and programmers where one takes care of the "what" and the other the "how" in order to learn "when".

To find a solution within the constrains of this problem-space there need to be made tradeoffs that require creative thinking at every level.

I used to focus on technical work until I realised we where spending millions on projects that go nowhere.

Like in the Dilbert comics its ok for management to wast the time of the developer but a developer should not be allowed to wast his time. It may sound like a cop-out but its much more productive to be able to say, ever so politely, "no this is not something we are going to do".

I read the finer point of the argument to be that Docker got the layer of abstraction wrong for monetization. That Kubernetes (which orchestrates containers) is the tool at the layer of abstraction where a company could provide a product that has enterprise demand similar to Red Hat. And that Docker is a replaceable piece of technology in the market of managing cloud architecture.
It sure did back then, that was its biggest downside (not sure if it's still required today).

We used it extensively at my work in a Web company to package and deploy all our stack as far as 2006.

Being a Tech Employee – How I Tried to Be a Good One and Keep My Sanity
Remembered I read something about this some time ago, looked it up:

Well, anti-communism had nothing to do with those. Just as it hadn’t with the genocide of some Germanic tribes comitted by Caesar, for example.
Of course not, a product company like docker is built for acquisition.
I have been facing this a lot in my current project, and keeping long list of GitHub issues for "tracking" of technical debts hasn't really helped. As these never find its way to our Sprint Backlog. A couple things we started trying to do:

(i) Try to estimate more realistically (usually higher). Consider making the feature stable when estimating, drop the "done" and "done done" concepts. A feature is done when it's stable, reviewed and tests green.

(ii) Don't accept pull requests that lower the test coverage of our application (at least in modules that we already have coverage).

(iii) Pull a few technical debt items to the Sprint Backlog

We figured that it was easier to avoid creating more technical debt in rather than trying to retroactively fix all. I've had long discussion with people saying that we should stop for one full week and do a mass cleanup and redesign. Not sure if I fully agree.
Just imagine a future where all herding dogs have been replaced by robots.

I’m not entirely sure how inflated that is form the NHS in Wales:

“A Level 3 Intensive Care bed cost an average £1932 per night”.

Add to that the additional costs of the treatment and staff and even in a country with relatively cheap health care you get to costs of $300-400K for a period of nearly 60 days.
The fudging was intended at first to make the books look a bit better and juice the profits.

Then, once it became clear that there was a lot more risk than they had thought, the goal of the fudging became preventing the markets from finding out about the risk, to keep prices high and avoid financial loss.

One thing that makes this especially difficult: you will feel like you're leaving out critical information, from your perspective. An executive summary or similar communication should include the key details for high-level understanding and decision-making, not the key details for engineering, operation, or implementation. This will run right up against the fundamental human desire to be understood, because you know the person you're talking to doesn't have the complete picture of the system that you have in your head. When you're in the process of giving an explanation, it'll feel important to add those extra details to convey that rich picture. But the person you're talking to may not need that level of detail.
It’s not nonsense. It’s optimizing on a different metric than the metric you chose. Do you have some evidence that being one or two years apart bonds siblings better than being three+ years apart?

My sister and I are three years apart and we definitely always had a strong bond. I can’t imagine a year or two would have made a difference. Our other siblings are as far as decades apart from us and we are less close (still close though), but we also didn’t grow up together - my sister and I had already flown the coop. I’d guess there are some limits in between there, but it’s just a guess.
This is a bit off topic, but at this point I'm curious why Warren is even running. By splitting the progressive vote with Bernie she's reducing the odds that a progressive candidate wins the nomination. So at best it seems like a selfish attempt to get a VP or cabinet spot at the expense of the ideas she claims to support, or she's doing this intentionally to support the Democratic establishment.
So it's mainly in GH issue comments things like https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/2291#issuecomment-38... show that people have got it working.

Whether MS ever use that tech. for production linux containers remains to be seen. It sounds kind of cool and might be good enough for dev/test but I imagine sorting out all the wrinkles to make it prod. ready could be tricky...

What license should I use if I want to make it possible for podcasts to include my music into their compilations as is, because I have a artistic vision which I don't want to have destroyed, but not for Hip-Hop artists to chop it and use it in a different context because it isn't how I envision my art being used?

Or what If I want a gallery to be able to print my pictures and show it as is, again because I put in a lot of thought and work into the coherence of my artistic vision, but I don't want video artists to chop it and reuse it in a weird setting?

I think those are legitimate use cases for a license.
I don't think it matters, and I don't think it's a proposal that will actually be acted upon. It's just an attempt to get attention for an election she has virtually no chance of winning and posture as being the most progressive candidate.

At this point, it is (or should be) absolutely clear that password security is a top priority for everyone nowadays. The only solution that I have heard of is password managers, but what if such companies are hacked like this one? I am curious if we will eventually recommend randomly generating passwords per website and keeping them under lock and key (physically so such as in a safe).

>All the apps that Apple sells...

I imagine from the point of view of Elizabeth Warren the problem is all of the apps that Apple doesn't sell - a maps app the integrates as tightly as Apple Maps. A browser that doesn't use Safari as its backend. A messaging app that can read SMS and replace Messages.
All business naturally have some sorts of advantages. Otherwise they would not be in business.

Not all business advantage is considered “unfair”. Apple is not unfairly competing with apps on its store, quite the contrary, Apple is highly invested in making the apps on its store the most pleasing, productive, performant, and profitable that they possibly can.
Mind you that's a study done in South Korea, a place where Burberry and Louis Vuitton have weird meanings and status they don't elsewhere. One of the amusing things about this conversation is that overtly branded items (Vuitton, Burberry, Rolex) are really big in Asian countries in a way they simply aren't anywhere else.

I had a South Korean physics colleague whose wife bought him some preposterously expensive Louis Vuitton organizer (basically a $2000 leather folder) when he got his Ph.D. He looked ... out of place with it around the physics department, where most of the people just dressed like nerds, or had tweed sports coats or whatever, but you could tell it was a big deal to both of them.

It's interesting the success/taste/status signals used by different social groups. Sales guys and lawyers often use shoes and watches for such things; a bit more subtle than a bag with branding logo all over, but serves the same purpose.
Possibly because you'd have more competition although higher prices as well. On the other hand, this would be much better for the economy which is, in my opinion, more important.
>"you too can become a data scientist with 3 weeks of Python + scikit-learn"...

Doing this via images seems... backwards. It's crazy bandwidth-intensive and almost never suits the client. There are other raster-options (SVG would be lighter on bandwidth) but they still don't scale.

So why not just sanitise the DOM? Embed images. Remove script before sending. Add an event listener to send all events back to your server. User clicks, your server emulates and sends back a DOM diff. You'd need to do more work for things like :hover (et al) but it all seems more sustainable than sending full on rasters.
That's the ND (NoDerivs) variant of Creative Commons. I do sorta get the "artistic vision" aspect of ND use although it's counter to the remix idea that was pretty central to the Creative Commons concept in the first place.
This is just one of the many studies. You can detect the choice from the brain up to seven seconds before when people are asked to push a button any time they feel the urge. https://www.nature.com/news/2008/080411/full/news.2008.751.h...

> The choice is still taken at the moment.

There is no reason to expect that 'the moment' is the same as when we become aware of it. It's questionable if we can make make any choices within two or three seconds. We just have behaviour that feels like it's our own volition.
The platform utility stuff would all require new legislation. Maybe the argument is that you threaten antitrust cases unless tech goes along but that too would apply to gdpr or some other low touch solution.
Leadership and management are fundamentally different things. Leadership is about making sure the ship is sailing towards the right spot — management is making sure people keep rowing effectively. You can have the best team of rowers, but if no one is focused on where the ship is actually headed, you’re not gonna get where you need to be.

Therefore, speaking like a leader means being more focused on principles, goals, mission. Delegate the “how” and focus on the “why”. Paint the broader picture for the team so that they’re motivated to figure out how to accomplish it.

At the highest level, leaders make decisions no one else is able to make. Focus meetings by throwing questions back to the team to make sure they really can’t solve the problem themselves, and then resolve to make decisions on everything else so that they aren’t blocked.

The dog's remote control is the whistle. :)

I expect that at some point the utility of the robot/drone will outpace the utility of the dog in this role (and others). Wanting to hang on to our dogs isn't a bad thing, but I don't think we will be able to make as many arguments based on their utility. Instead we'll just have to accept the idea that the reasons for having them (and even working with them) will be cultural/emotional instead, which are perfectly good reasons.

IMO eigenvectors are easiest to understand in connection with differential equations, and that's also one of their most important applications. If you plot the flow of the equation x' = Ax then the eigenvectors are visually apparent.

The eigendirections are the directions where the solution moves in a straight line.

Not all matrices have (real valued) eigenvectors:

For those mathematically inclined, I highly recommend "Introduction to the Analysis of the Infinite": https://www.springer.com/us/book/9780387968247

It's fascinating to see how Euler thought about things like infinite series, derivatives, etc. before they were formalized hundreds of years later. You'll find him make "mistakes" (i.e.,assumptions which are not true) but he always gets the right answer. Look for, in particular, his proof that \sum \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}.
The original compiler ran on a platform was heavily resource constrained (very little memory, slow terminals).

If all you have is a 300 baud terminal (a luxury for some early users), writing a 30-letter statement takes about a second. Doubling that speed by using shorter identifiers is worth it (certainly as long as all the people reading the code either wrote it, or have the writer sitting next to them)

That created a culture that persists to today.

There are different cultural streams such as Apple’s one, which originated in Pascal (for the original Mac OS). Consequently (I think), Apple’s C headers later on weren’t afraid to use identifiers with over 40 characters. Next step/Cocoa similarly aren’t afraid of long names (https://mackuba.eu/2010/10/31/the-longest-names-in-cocoa/)
dogs barking at animals at close range is pretty darn loud. Much of the time the drone is pretty high up, which is relatively quiet at ground level.

Especially in a rural setting, I don't think noise levels would be a big concern. That said, I think like many things, if reducing sound levels is important then over time it will be addressed - seems like it would be a good application of active noise dampening.
"Time between when a decision was made and the awareness of it" != "Not having free will"

Given that we have to make decisions all the time it's natural an unconscious heuristic could exist, but that, again, doesn't mean "not having free will".

I don't like the breakup idea, but I like the idea of threatening the big tech companies, even crudely, so as to extort more R&D from firms that may eventually revert to the low-investment, high divident BigCo norm when founders die/retire.

What good does it do to break these companies up if they can all share my data with each other freely in any case?

And if we make the sharing of data EXPLICITLY illegal with harsh repercussions, a la HIPAA, then I don't really need for them to be broken up.

It's just sound bite politics that will land we the people in the same place we started. Probably a worse place, because we will have split up what was a 9mm data privacy bullet into what would effectively be a shotgun blast.

> i'm quite sure companies like google, apple, facebook, etc. are creative enough to find a way to get around this restriction

That was my initial reaction as well, but after looking into it a little bit I'm not so sure. The wording of the Sherman Act is pretty broad, and the history of how it's been applied by the courts seems to be pretty complex (as might be expected with a broadly-worded law from 1890), so I'm inclined to doubt any explanation of the situation that would fit on a bumper sticker. There are, I assume, important legal reasons behind how United States v. Microsoft unfolded, with a protracted hard-fought court battle followed by a settlement that imposed some pretty major restrictions on Microsoft. If Microsoft could have easily gotten around the effects of a breakup, I'd expect almost everything about that fight to be different.
