I think they should read their own rules and hit themselves with a fine of 10 million or 2% whichever is greater and distribute it among those who were effected.

Edit: or at least consider that their rules are ridiculous.
What do you do for commutes? I find that it's impossible to read anything physical in crowded trains and the only way to not be bored out of my mind for those 45 minutes is to listen to music or a podcast or read something on the phone

My girlfriend did ketamine treatments and her's were once a week for four weeks with a break period in between(don't remember the exact length of the break), where are you seeing the several injections per week number?
When you talk like that, I feel as though I am talking to the emacs psychotherapist. It too is a mere instrument that reports on its internal state.

If you have found it a useful communicative tool, then I am glad for you. No doubt communication can be hard, so we've gotta use whatever tools we find effective. But honestly when I try speaking like that, I can't help but feel like a robot or a program. It feels very unnatural and very awkward to me. Perhaps that distance is exactly what lends it efficacy for some people, but that very distance only lends it offputticacy for me.

Am I right and you wrong? No, I don't think so. I have no reason to doubt that you have found success with such an approach. But were I a barkeep and you a patron responding like that when asked "why the long face?", you'd be getting a double of tequila on the house. (Tequila has a funny way of bringing out one's inner party, in my experience—or getting one started where there's yet only a quiet inner evening get-together).

And from that article, there's even a way to compare the effects of duck & cover:

"A fourth-grade teacher in Chelyabinsk, Yulia Karbysheva, was hailed as a hero after saving 44 children from imploding window glass cuts. Despite not knowing the origin of the intense flash of light, Karbysheva thought it prudent to take precautionary measures by ordering her students to stay away from the room's windows and to perform a duck and cover maneuver and then to leave a building. Karbysheva, who remained standing, was seriously lacerated when the blast arrived and window glass severed a tendon in one of her arms and left thigh; none of her students, whom she ordered to hide under their desks, suffered cuts."

I'd say it starts with the content. Some content is clearly going to cause conflict, and you've got stuff in place to catch some of it. More severe curating of content will help reduce this further.

Then there's the actual human interaction. We suck at communicating; adding tools to improve communication would help the discussions stay calmer.

Finally, there's the in-group mentality where people who perceive themselves as the same will act nicer to each other and perceive threats less often. By increasing the ways people can relate to each other, their empathy toward each other increases, communication becomes more friendly, and people try to work together more often.

Big Brother's approach was to attack all three of these areas rather than just create laws and police. It seems that utopian societies are a bit like gardens; if you want them to look really pretty, you'll have to do a lot of pruning.

Funny thing is, if you look at codebases of some opensource projects [1] doing complex and ambitious stuff, written by some real experienced engineers, you’ll see the common „dogmas” (don’t have long classes, don’t have long methods etc. etc.) are not obeyed. And yet, they shipped very complex and successful software. It’s almost as if these rules are mostly arbitrary and don’t really matter.

[1] I’ve noticed that in codebases of Apache Spark, Apache Oozie, Apache Cassandra, and Firefox.
So what happens in the hypothetical that the food sucks and the bill for $300 comes to you. Do you just not pay?

You are implicitly believing in their reputation by selecting the fine dining establishment. I don't really do fine dining so excuse me if this is ignorant, but it seems to me you don't really have recourse after the fact.

Problem is that there are millions of potential customers all who may or may not be flakes. When business could be make or break by one reservation backing out, they have much more to lose way more often than you having an awful experience at a reputable establishment. Tock makes sense in this scenario but you seem like you're being completely unempathetic to the economics of the situation.
That's why it makes great scifi but terrible business.
Related, Hangouts has started to be spammed. The spammers create a group hangout with a few dozen people, draw you into it, and then you see the welcome message. There's no blocking contacts from unknown people: rather, it seems like that was the business model of G+.

Granted, hangouts is almost gone now, but it demonstrates there's a way to spam almost anything and ruin it.
As concerns about US competitiveness in the global economy are ramping up, they are placing import tariffs promoting an "America First” strategy with the express goal of protecting domestic production from cheap imports! Sounds an awful lot like "closing off your market". Maybe both US & China just like the idea of free trade when it benefits them, not so much when it doesn't. Like every other country.

In 2004 I had a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook P7010 which was 100% supported by Debian, by any means a netbook years before that word was invented. Not cheap, still the perfect tool to take around plugging it to network sockets and make tests: small, light enough, some good computing power, long battery life, and a wonderful 10" 1280x768 really bright screen. It lasted about 9 years, then a fall (not my fault) destroyed one of the screen hinges, and the high cost of repairing and upgrading ($$ battery and $$$ microdimms) turned it into a few recycled parts.

Children need love, compassion and a lot of patience. They want to be treated like living beings, not like science projects. Yes science in general can obviously make some generic guidelines or provide some good insights in very specific questions of this childraising enterprise, but the vast majority of choices and everyday actions will fall outside of this.
Yes, but the scientific community has in-part brought this upon themselves.

The actual research is inaccessible to the public, hidden behind paywalls in subscription-only journals, and written in a form that is very difficult if not impossible for the general public to understand.

For most of the general public, the output of the scientific community is just a poorly translated and often misleading headline.

There is a loss though, which is that Visual Studio is incredibly slow, and editor latency has "important effects on typist behavior and satisfaction" [1]. You wouldn't want to use Visual Studio to edit a single config file, unless you already had it open for a big programming project. Adding a Vim binding plugin makes things worse and often introduces a startup delay before the editor enters normal mode, meaning your first command gets typed into the file unless you pay attention and wait for the UI to get ready. Vim opens even ridiculously large files that have no place in a text editor instantly, every time.

This article is somewhat misleading. Although the image caption says Nominal GDP, the bottom of the image says the GDP is in PPP terms.

AFAIK the most optimistic estimates make India the second largest economy in nominal terms measured by exchange rate no earlier than 2050.

India is expected to be growing pretty fast. But nowhere close to the rate which would be needed for this to be true in currency exchange rate terms. PPP terms really doesn't mean much.

"actually 3x might be low on the bread. 3.5-4x, probably, around here, to get a baguette that's on par with your average Parisian one"

How would your price metric work then?
Economics should be fact based at least. I personally would call it a science but a soft one from there being so many variables and interpretations. It does produce some hard facts - mostly in the form of "what not to do"

We already know that hyperinflation relative to growth is a way to ruin an economy quickly for instance. Similarly the issue with federal reserve denialism is that they have rhetoric but not much understanding about economic history.

Precious metal backed currency has lead to countless expensive wars and travesties because it effectively started to be a brake/cap on growing economies. Essentially saying you are against the federal reserve period is like admitting you are a homeopath - it goes beyond a difference of supportable opinion and into a sign of incompetence.

I can understand some unease about the role of the federal reserve but it should have some role even if it is stuck on "try to map to economic growth instead of attempting stimulus or bubble deflation".
My phone screen broke last night. Today I took a small break and sat at a bench in front of my office. I noticed how most people were looking at their phones. Even if they were with others. It's been quite a while since I noticed this and it honestly disturbed me.

The thing is, most of these people are (most likely) not even looking at something important, just their social media or messaging apps.

I noticed a girl who was talking to someone on the phone. She hanged and put the phone in her pocket. Not 10 seconds later she took it out and just started scrolling while walking past me.

The reason frameworks get adopted
These studies are notorious for being worthless. Very few people can remember what they ate the previous day, much less the prior year. In addition even if the data is recorded correctly, it can barely show a correlation, much less a connection between a diet and a given outcome.

"Diet data were collected using food frequency questionnaires or by taking a diet history. Each participant was asked a long list of what they’d eaten for the previous year or month. The data were collected during a single visit.The study had up to 31 years of follow up (median: 17.5 years), during which 5,400 cardiovascular events and 6,132 all-cause deaths were diagnosed."
There are doctors around the US that do Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy for much lower prices. There is a big study about to be published looking at hundreds of successfully treated cases. Keep looking, and good luck.

The J+J spray is a scam, but it does establish the treatments being done off-label with regular ketamine as safe and should give hem some level of additional protection.
It really does have a Lance Armstrong vibe, where, sure, the thing itself was pretty bad, but the defensive actions surrounding the core thing were ten times worse. Destroying many people's lives, and livelihoods, at the slightest hint of a challenge.

Theranos, though, does have the added negative attribute that the product was a medical device and not just an individual's professional athletics career.
It is a "mistake" as soon as the work gets to be too much for one developer and the company brings in some more developers.

By this time, that one inexperienced developer gets promoted to "Architect" because he knows where all of the bodies are buried. Now one of two things happens. He brings in more inexperienced developers because he doesn't know what a good developer is and they keep adding on to the UserManager class and to organize it better, they add section breaks. The class grows.

If they are lucky, they get an experienced developer who tries to tell the "Architect" about proper coding techniques, management and the architect dismisses the critique as "if it ain't broke don't fix it"/"this is the way we've always done it". All of the good developers leave and you are left with only bad developers.

Then you end up with the "Dead Sea Effect"....

> But I think that the more important thing about Elizabeth to me is that she did have a mission – a noble mission

Did she? The proof offered was that she didn't pay herself as much money as Madoff did, so consequently her mission must have been noble. People do things not just for money, especially if they are already well of. They want validation, power, fame, etc.

> Fake it ‘til you make it is something that’s imbued in the DNA of a lot of Silicon Valley companies.

Ok, well Google and FB are shady and play fast and loose with people's data. Why shouldn't Holmes play fast and loose with people's blood tests. Let's not judge her too much.

> Elizabeth exists on a spectrum of people who over-promise and sometimes way under-deliver and sometimes commit fraud.

The spectrum also extends to how much she was praised and touted as a great young entrepreneur. She wasn't just quietly running a scam, but basking in the lime-light dancing to "U Can't Touch This" (figuratively and literally https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/11/tech/the-inventor-theranos-do...).

> Because if she’s just the bad apple – you know that’s what they said about the people at Abu Ghraib.

Right, she is just like the people tortured at Abu Ghraib. Poor thing, how will she ever recover.

There is element here I think where the directory himself wants to stir controversy and one way to do it is to present her in a rather sympathetic way. Otherwise not sure how to interpret the "Abu Ghraib" and fraud is just "a spectrum" comments. It might pay off I suppose. But it's a bit too transparent.
That's how medieval scholasticsim was born. Originally logic, and the works of Greek philosophers were explored. Soon rules around logic became formalize, and a dogmatism set in.

Afterwards students were discouraged from original thought around logic and just forced to learn the following mnemoic

Barbara, Celarent, Darii, Ferioque prioris.
Cesare, Camestres, Festino, Baroco secundae.
Tertia Darapti, Disamis, Datisi, Felapton, Bocardo, Ferison habet.
Quarta insuper addit Bramantip, Camenes, Dimaris, Fesapo, Fresison.

Scholasticism then went onto have terrible connotations as a scholarly system.
So let's say that I've got a network that can carry calls. I rent access by the month. The fewer calls, the less infrastructure I need to be able to handle them, but the rent doesn't change.

Why would I want spam calls on my network? Unless they're paying me by the call or something, that's the last thing I want.
Datalog does not have a search strategy per se. The general "strategy" (or definition) is the fixpoint of the T_p operator that derives all one-step-derivable facts from the facts and the rules.

The minimal model (result of derivation) is defined as the fixpoint of this operation. And the minimal model is finite because of the fixed number of atoms.

Every other evaluation strategy must be equivalent to this. Both in terms of termination and minimal model.

Prolog could use breadth first instead of SLD (and there are other Prolog evaluation strategies that, for example, use tabling for derived facts) but then you might get an infinite number of backtracking points instead of terms of infinite depth. You haven't really won anything by doing that.
It’s almost as if these rules are mostly arbitrary and don’t really matter.

Definitely. I mean, some of them probably have some objective basis. But clearly some of them are indeed subjective and arbitrary. Take "long method names" for example... I believe method names should state what they do, and should be however long it takes to do that. To my way of thinking, making a method name shorter just for the sake of being shorter, and eliding semantic information, is an anti-pattern, not a best-practice. shrug
I can't say there's a "best" since we're talking about dumb phones, but this is one that I bought a few years back and it works great. You'll need a pay-as-you-go plan, but other than that, it's been smooth sailing.

I would expect them to be flying prior to the end of the year. The airplane has two AoA inputs and, between that and limiting the authority of the MCAS and adding an MCAS indicator on the panel, I suspect this is a short, mostly flight control software patch. ("Short" in aviation still might be 3 months.)

> You know, if you’re pursuing a noble goal, it’s OK to fake it ‘til you make it.

This seems completely be starkly in contrast with reality. She did not persue a noble goal and secondarily achieve power and wealth. If that was the case she would never had sent out bogus resulst for patients of hunted innoscent employees for presenting the truth.

All the facts on the table tell a tale of a person who wanted money, power and influence, and sat with a 2-7 off suit and decided to bluff on the off-chance that everyone else would fold.

It’s sad that Alex Gibney has decided to spin a story he wants to tell around a reality that doesn’t support it.
What I'm saying is outside of the virtual DOM paradigm you might not need to diff any elements at all, real or virtual, and so you wouldn't care about the performance of DOM reads, as you're not doing them.

Then it becomes a matter of DOM write performance, but that is the same for everyone assuming the native DOM API commands issued by the libraries are the same, which is a more or less reasonable assumption for well optimized libraries even if they use different paradigms to calculate what those commands should be.
Everyone is already piling with sources to learn from, so my biggest advise is avoid falling into the trap of cargo culting and overfollowing the internet echo chamber. Personal experience is worth so much more than reading something from a blog post somewhere, even if that somewhere would really be good information which is not at all such a given
Dokan and CBFS are at the filesystem level. WinSpd is at the block device level.
It's also become incredibly complex and utterly alien to even practitioners in the fields - I can't read computer science doctoral dissertations with any degree of understanding. That's not a failing of the language, that's an evolution of it - we're at a point now where we need years and years of education to be able to be able to speak the language required for the research.

It absolutely is difficult for the general public, but that's not a failing, that's the state of the art.
It happened a lot with AOL/AIM as well as Yahoo messenger, and even MSN messenger back in the day. To a large extent, I really miss those days... would love to see something like Yahoo messenger come back with voice chat rooms, maybe over WebRTC or similar.

Facebook Messenger is about all I use, and even then rarely... I use hangouts for mostly the occasional screen share or for SMS with my google voice acct (I don't even have my actual cell phone number memorized).
Too late to edit - 1998 should be 1988.
All of these responses are missing a huge point here:

If you're a solo developer, stick to _standards_. There are standards for how something should be implemented (like REST), there are standards to how things should be written (like PEP8 for Python), etc.

Follow those standards as close as you possibly can. Ultimately, you'll find issues with them -- that's great! Perhaps you'll even find a more clear way of doing something that the standard doesn't suggest. This means you can probably iterate on your original design.

Join a Slack/Discord/IRC with other developers using your toolchain and ask questions there if you have concerns. If you're worried about design decisions, find others who have been in similar boats and ask how they did things and what the result was like.

Typically, best practices are those that emphasize 1) clear code, 2) readable code, and 3) the KISS principle. Anything that favors complexity over simplicity _must_ have a good reason for doing so.
I noticed that Richter also slows down the tempo very slightly when playing the B-flat phrase. Playing it much softer and slightly more slowly really accentuates the sense of nostalgia and longing I find in this movement.
