This article is typical antiscience propaganda, the only few bits of information is, that 153 cases been confirmed and "outbreak "is largely concentrated in Orthodox Jewish community. We don't know how many of them was vaccinated, how many serious side affects hit them. As far as I know measles is completely harmless disease (at least in the well developed countries). When I was a kid (80's in Poland) majority of us had it, and it was considered rather fun - two weeks out of school, time for lecture, tv, etc. I didn't hear about any serious side effects, either sources from this time remain silence.
If this is a primary purpose of an ORM, then I wish I knew of one that isn't utterly failing at that.

One thing I've learned about this "impedance mismatch" is that it isn't a syntax thing, it's a fundamental difference in the way of viewing the world. The way you store data about the world is different from the way you model that world dynamically, with objects. I find it safer to always split out the "business model" from the storage layer, so that those different views don't interfere - and once you do that, you may as well implement the storage layer in a relational way.

It's really narrow minded to find all drivers reckless when you clearly cite pathological behaviour that's adopted by a minority of drivers. It shows you do not evaluate this rationally and makes your argument less credible.

I think a speed limit is good. EU's implementation? not sure about that. What about driving by a slow driveR? you have to speed up above the limit to do that.

It's about safety, and no street legal car should be driven above 140-160km/h (87-100mph) on the highway; most people do not know how to handle a car above 80mph. It's really dangerous for both that car as well everybody around. IF you drive on your own land, race track etc. then yeah, that's where it should be allowed.
You could have made a note of what the variable names stood for and put it at the top or end of each source file, in a separate file or even on a piece of paper.

Dwarf fortress always seems like a brilliant idea wrapped up in a terrible ui and execution. I recently started playing rimworld and its a very similar game but much easier to get started on.

It's mentioned in the article, but much of what drives McDonald's profitability is their supply chain and logistics, and r&d around food prep/meal production. There are huge dollar volumes there at very low margins and it is an area of great advantage (not only in cost, but in what it's possible to do product-wise) if done well. It's a perfect area for data science / ML type applications.
I decided I didn't want to spend my life sitting at a desk writing code (Software Engineer), and I decided a life of adventure was for me.

After saving for years I quit my job and drove Alaska to Argentina, and it changed my life.

The speed limits are out of date. For highways, the original limits were set by breaking distances. Braking systems have improved tremendously (almost all disk brakes nowadays, ESC and ABS), reducing breaking distances, while the limits were never updated. So yeah, one can disagree with speed limits.

MongoDB with it's JSON model helped us develop features and iterate much faster than the previous MySQL/PG. So it was a huge win for use (but we had some pain with some issues).

Today we use PG everywhere with JSON, though still the library support for JSON in Mongo is often a little bit better than in PG drivers.
Measles is not a completely harmless disease. In most people, it runs like you say. In a small number, it leads to encephalitis or a number of other sometimes-fatal complications.

It's not something we'd want to be endemic again.
India successfully shoots down satellite in space: PM Modi
Good. People have been driving too fast for too long. Too many people die in car crashes. Speed is often the factor that determines whether you (or the pedestrian they're hitting) lives or dies. Drivers have had plenty of time to moderate their own behaviour, but they haven't. If they can't behave, they should be forced to behave.
>you have to speed up above the limit to do that.

Atleast in germany you may only overtake a driver if you can do so without going over the speed limit. I would assume that this is that case for most western countries too, driving over the speed limit is illegal, if you do it while overtaking I see on reason why you should get an exception.

And after all, it's a speed limit, not a speed average or speed minimum.
Very interesting. I'll read the paper to wrap my head around the concept. Thanks for the feedback!
"Mandatory breathalyzer is much more stupid."

What about for convicted drunk drivers?

Would these measures be more acceptable for people who have already proven themselves untrustworthy?
It is not the same contracting it as a kid or an adult:

"Most measles-related deaths are caused by complications associated with the disease. Serious complications are more common in children under the age of 5, or adults over the age of 30. The most serious complications include blindness, encephalitis (an infection that causes brain swelling), severe diarrhoea and related dehydration, ear infections, or severe respiratory infections such as pneumonia."

Not sure what you mean by "antiscience"?

Are the statistics about the decline in vaccinations wrong?

Why is the measles harmless in developed countries, but in undeveloped countries it kills tens of thousands of people every year? -[YES, I know this isn’t true]

[Update]

Downvoted for asking a simple question to help someone think through their illogical reasoning?

Of course, the person to whom I responded who actually made the statement about developed and undeveloped countries was flagged killed so people think I’m making the statement...

Hilarious! I just leave this as a warning to future viewers. Don’t try to walk someone through their mistaken beliefs.
You're making a personal attack and a false statement.

How can this, for example, be considered "China bashing"?
> China, undisputed king of electric transport (inkstonenews.com)
Measles is not "completely harmless". For every 1000 children with measles about 2 or 3 of them will die. And this is in developed countries. That's a lot of children when tens- or hundreds of thousands get infected. It's a virus disease, not bacterial, so there's not much you can do other than waiting for the body to fight it. Or not be able to fight it, as it were.

It's also highly contagious, i.e. it spreads like wildfire. The only way to contain it is to keep up a high vaccination rate. Those who don't vaccinate their children will ultimately be responsible for someone else's death(s), whether their own children are fine or not.

.. and the code you implement to connect that business layer to that storage layer is an ORM.

The idea that the ORM forces the storage layer to a particular representation of the business layer is only true if they implement the ActiveRecord pattern, which isn't universal.

"why not make people follow the law if it is fairly simple to do?"

That's quite an interesting question, because it seems so common-sense.

I think I know why it's an awful idea, but I'm not sure. I could certainly imagine such a question being used in all kinds of places that I would find uncomfortable, especially with computers being integrated so much into our lives and watching everything we do and think.
Then prepare enough money to pay the bill :P.

The optimal way these CDN-monsters such as Akamai/Youtube or netflix edge is pushing the ISPs hosting their servers with minimum or for free ! That's the hard part.
I would argue that the minority of people actually observe speed limits, most people drive over the speed limit out of habit, sometimes only to overtake but a lot of drivers do it and I get a lot of road hate for driving at speed limit or below.
Unless someone is going out of their way to buy a brand new home, nobody cares about the age. You have the home inspected, and if the roof is good (replaced recentlyish) and there's no structural damage, your good to go. It's not like depreciation on a used car. A house is a house.

Hell, lots of times newer homes are more shoddily built then older ones.
> As far as I know measles is completely harmless disease

You're being downvoted because you're wrong. Measles can have serious complications: potentially leading to permanent damage to health, or even death.

1. This is a speed warning, not a limiter, it will just tell you when you're speeding.

2. If you're following a slow driver. By definition they will be going below the speed limit. You yourself say people don't know how to handle a car at 80mph. Why then allow them to reach that speed to overtake?.
I really dislike the prospect of more software in cars.
I use Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Google Container and Decentraleyes and am not signed into Google. ReCAPTCHA is an absolute nightmare under these conditions. It's sad because there is one site I absolutely need that has ReCAPTCHA when logging in. I literally keep another browser (Opera) around with no extensions just so I can log into that one site.

I sometimes use Random User-Agent as well to resist fingerprinting; this makes ReCAPTCHA not just extremely tedious (up to about 10 rounds of sl-o-o-o-wly fading pictures) but literally impossible (it never ends).
It isn't harmless anywhere, that's the thing.. it's just that in developed countries the "supportive care" is a bit better - there's no real treatment though, so people still die from it, every year, in western Europe.
> I guess traditional content producers are not people, then.

No, corporations aren’t people.
I disagree that the line between safe and unsafe speed can be distilled down to the same number for every car, every driver, and every weather/road condition. If you’re a good driver in a good car driving on a clear, dry day you should be allowed to drive faster than a bad driver in a bad car on a foggy/icy/rainy day.
> ... if you can store your data structures directly in the database.

ABSTRACT. Future users of large data banks must be protected from having to know how the data is organized in the machine (the internal representation). It provides a means of describing data with its natural structure only—that is, without superimposing any additional structure for machine representation purposes. Accordingly, it provides a basis for a high level data language which will yield maximal independence between programs on the one hand and machine representation and organization of data on the other.

You propose to reintroduce a problem that they absolutely wanted to get rid off 40 years ago. Just imagine that you first have to figure out how to painstakingly parse serialized Python dictionaries before you can access the data in another program written in e.g. Rust.

It clearly amounts to UNSOLVING a problem that is now SOLVED ALREADY.

> Part of the issue, I think is that teenagers are more restricted by parents, laws, and business owners than they used to be.

This should be easy to check. If this is true, then it would be different in countries with different laws and customs. My impression (from what I read about it online) is that American parents and society tend to be much restrictive about freedom for their kids than parents elsewhere.

I certainly encourage my son (9) to go out more, but he just doesn't want to. He meets his friends online. I would love to give him a 4 day train ticket when he is 12 to travel the country on his own like I did at that age, but I doubt he'll be interested.

And the abundance of mobile phones just makes that sort of freedom easier, not harder. I think it's really just the addictive nature of computers and online interaction that makes meeting people in person less relevant.
Use a host that ignores the DMCA -- why would a bad american law apply to the majority of the internet?

Downvote all you like, but it won't change a thing that those wilfully reckless drivers just won't get a new car with these limiters or will disable them and will not be impacted, unlike the millions of others who are forced to pay for more useless gadgets in their cars.
> If you're following a slow driver. By definition they will be going below the speed limit

That doesn't mean it's safe. I had the terror of joining the motorway behind a car doing 30mph last night. It kept that speed once we miraculously made it onto the lane. It was an absolute menace.
I did not mean to imply otherwise. The phoning home was introduced with the 64bit trial.

If I recall correctly, the 32bit trial used to time out after some number of hours after it was launched. This prevented, e.g., running it continuously as a server. Not sure if they still do that.

Going further back, I also recall early k trials that put limits on the size of the workspace.
The relevant part is that if this was already done in 2012 then it's hardly news, and replaying old news as if it was new is an old election stunt.
In Romania, lots of people floor the accelerator when overtaking, because most of our roads only have one lane and they tend to overtake even if there's not enough space to do it safely.
Do you or someone else know if the Lockbox app will feature full password management (like add, delete, edit, generate strong random pw, folders etc) in the future or is it only meant to be a "password access" app?
Nice, but I have question:
what is the real corner case that it would be useful? I ask out of curiosity.
How does tools like this work? Is it triangulated by pinging from different location?
It will just alert the driver not actually limit. [1]

Many systems already exists like that. Even simple ones which you can set by hand to a specific speed and it will beep when you go over.

That's right. You should be driving well under the limit if it is foggy, icy or rainy or if you are in a poorly maintained car.

"even having a pocket knife" .. I must have given away at least 5 swiss army knives to TSA. The teenager in me still clings on to a pocket knife.
Many places have a minimum speed as well for highways, so that would be illegal. It's probably less enforced than the above-limit infraction though.
This doesn't seem to be true. I just checked my settings as well as the domain settings and I can't find any setting to disable AMP.

Yes, but you can go at 70mph (in uk at least) so you don't need to speed to overtake. A speed limiter would make no difference in this situation.

Issue in europe is that most roads isn't super wide. Only two-lane; at times only one.. So to overtake, you have to drive into the other lane that's driving against you... so that's when you are forced to speed up.... On highways, then yeah not a issue, but most roads isn't highways.
Same problem in germany, recently. Parents think they know better and refuse to have their kids vaccinated. Now the vaccination rate is low enough for measles to start spreading in schools etc.

Currently there is a discussion about making vaccination mandatory:

Precisely.

Unfortunately, there is also a lot of uncertainty in buying a "used" home. There can also be issues the seller doesn't tell you about.

Since you are the editor, can you explain the relationship between SCMP and Inkstone?
