There has been, IMHO, a gentle decline in the quality of software from an engineering point of view in the last 20 years, and while I think agile may have contributed to this, I also feel agile is a symptom of this, and that the root cause is that the 'war' between 'software engineering' and 'coding' as the act of production of software that happened in the 90s, and was largely lost to those that see it as 'coding' and 'an artform'.

That the aviation software engineering community has moved from Ada towards MISRA-C is also another hybrid symptom-cause.
> (What it actually shows is the results it thinks the person asking the question wants to see, which is wildly different person-to-person, but presented as objective truth to the user).

I don't think this is anywhere near as significant a problem as you suggest. I just tried a few incognito vs. not incognito searches of various conspiracy theories that have become much more visibly popular in the last few years. I saw little significant difference between incognito mode and not, and most of the results are about why the particular conspiracy theory is bullshit.

In contrast, it's a small sample size, but I've seen first hand a small number of friends (and one family member) become much more extremist anti-vaccine crusaders, and the primary vehicle for me seeing this is facebook.

I think youtube is much closer to having these kinds of problems than google search, but youtube is also a lot closer to being "social media", which is the general problem, not facebook in particular. Facebook is just far and away the biggest and most influential.

I think this is really about a more specific idea: that something will be voted about until it's turned around, but then it will be final, because it has been voted.

It's kind of like how laws that don't get passed but have a strong lobby behind them always re-surface every few years in slightly different form, but once they pass, they're here to stay.

I think it should always be an option to vote again if the general opinion on a subject changes. That works in both directions though.
> The title is misleading. The directive was approved by a large majority of 348 in favor, 274 against (spread of 74 votes).
Before that, there was a vote about whether to vote on individual amendments; that vote (about voting on amendments) is the one discussed in the OP and was indeed only defeated by 5 votes.

OP here, you're right about that after doing some fact checking. I just retracted the article by hiding. My bad.

My anecdote: several years back I had a test lab for measuring the performance and scalability characteristics of various geospatial databases. We added MongoDB to the mix a couple years after they released geospatial support.

We always verified basic correctness with a new database by inserting several billion geometries as fast as the database would accept them, reading the entire data set back out, and comparing it to the original data set we inserted for any discrepancies. MongoDB never passed this test. It would apparently lose records semi-randomly every time, so we removed it from the test set. It was the only database we tested that had this issue.
You opt in to the internet by making content available on it too, so are we rolling back to the free copying of last millennium?
Interestingly in the case of the the Abiraterone example used in the article, none of the R&D was even done by JNJ. The original work was done at The Institute of Cancer Research, an academic/charity drug discovery institute. JNJ actually only market this drug because of acquisitions rather than R&D efforts. Which is the way that a lot of pharma is going these days, letting smaller biotechs take the high risk of developing a therapeutic and buying them up before FDA/EMA approval.
I have always tried to invest in binary options/bitcoin trades ever since I learnt of it and have witnessed people make a lot of gains in it. I was trying to afford money so I could fix my credit report issues. I have tried so many brokerages yet, I couldn’t make good profits until I met Benjamin Kings whom is the owner of Binary options Australia recommended by a friend. I made about $1500, that is a 150% profit during my first trade with Benjamin in one month. I make an average 37.5% in a week. Since I wasn’t sure of his trades at first, I made a minimum of investment at first. I own over 6.0btc made in trades right now. I understand nothing good comes easy so I made sure i took the very big risk.It have changed my life. I am currently an affiliate of Binary options Australia and make gain 10% from every referral link. I urge you mail benjaminkings72(at)gmail(dot)com or visit binaryoptionsaustralia(dot)com for more informations and for credit fix, I’ll advice you mail Cyberservices247(at)outlook(dot)com, +1(201)5826719. He helped me fix my credit report to an excellent report just in two weeks with all the delinquencies taken out. The both services are trusted and don’t forget to tell them I recommended their services to you.

I think you're confusing the key/seed with the output. The paper is about key sizes, not hash output sizes. Again, if you claim it's trivial to recover the seed in "almost all use cases", you should be able to demonstrate that pretty easily, no?

I don't have anything against recommendations to use all bits in the hash output, or good collision handling, just these unfounded security claims about key recovery.
No, I will vote Green. They voted 38 out of 42 against. The four votes in favour were all from France (surprise, surprise).
What?

- The ToS has nothing to do with data usage

- The privacy policy explicitly states they don't sell user data

- Multiple employees are on the record as saying they don't

- There's no evidence they do

- They've said that nitro subscriptions and game selling are done to avoid ever needing to do ads/data selling.

- They're VC funded to the tune of over $100 million and thus have taken their time with monetization options.

Discord "selling data" is nothing more than a (very) weak conspiracy theory.

When I was a kid we had relatives who were always late by half an hour or more. I remember my parents planning event with sometimes hours of buffer to account for people being late with no mean to check if they'll even be there in the end.

I think we are more sensitive to these issues because there's less excuses (even 'traffic was bad' is less and less an excuse as we get ETAs, it needs to be something really bad happening to get sympathy).

We are more used to things being in sync (pre-checking shop opening hours or having average wait times for instance) and moving generally fast.

If Google don't bother, just assuming they have the rights, then they're infringers. In copyright law the distributor is usually down for the largest punishment, that would be Google.

"I didn't bother to check if it was an infringement for me to distribute the work" doesn't seem like it would negate a claim of tortuous infringement?

Here’s what i postulate -

Any sufficiently large network is a proxy for the underlying state of the population.

At humanity scale this means that commerce is optimized, but then this (through attention farming) exacerbates human fault lines.

It means that anonymity will always be misused by criminals and revolutionaries.

As a result, there will always be a centralizing tendency that begins to apply on large networks. Only small inconsequential networks can avoid this.

(Central tendency as in - government oversight and force to order chaotic activity online,)

Any tool built must always play on this divide - increasing transparency and central control vs increasing anonymity and increasing the are of illegal behavior.

—————-

Most of this would be solved if print media were still a viable business.

We generate tons of data, and content, sifting through it is impossible.

But teams of editors and reliable news papers could once upon a time, do that. However it seems the information industry is suited for centralized, agenda dominated firms.

My major tip is simply don't be afraid. Give it a go, see what happens.

In five years if all of this doesn't work I'll be sitting back at a desk and I sure as hell won't be sitting around thinking "what if". If it does work, I will be living my dreams.

> What holds me back is the fear of not having enough money

It's funny now from where I sit, the vast majority of people in the developed world are terrified of money. It's really educational to spend time with people that have none, and have no prospects of ever earning any, but are still immensely happy and have tons of time and often find ways to live their own dreams.

Of course we can never know, but the fact that they discussed about it hopefully says something
Historically there was only one lobby (after all it's not usual to deliberately build rooms with two lobbies) and so parliament would do divisions like this:

When the question is asked, it would be decided which alternative most preserves the status quo. Supporters of the contrary opinion must leave their seats and go into the lobby, those content would remain. This way if everybody is too lazy to get up and vote, nothing happens.

But of course this makes it key to find ways to make your side of the question be the one that stays seated, as you'll thereby pick up all the lazy or incompetent votes.

So the rebuilt Palace has two lobbies, and remaining in your seat now is an abstention (you can also just vote twice, once each way, if you are concerned that some mischief will be attempted with the lists of voters, but though it's not forbidden this is a huge waste of people's time in tabulating the votes and so it's frowned upon).

Thomas Jefferson describes the old system because that's what was in place when he wrote about it.
These "caveats" are mostly false, or outdated.

> Loss of transactions

MongoDB 4.0 supports ACID transactions: https://www.mongodb.com/transactions

> Loss of relational integrity (foreign keys)

> Having a database enforce these relationships can offload a lot of work from your application, and therefore from your engineers.

I've never seen anyone use MongoDB without also using something like Mongoose where you get all this for free. Zero work for your engineers. https://mongoosejs.com/

> Lack of ability to enforce data structure

Again, Mongoose. The work doesn't fall on your engineers, it falls on an awesome, heavily-used, heavily-tested library.

> Custom query language

Can you give an example of something that you realistically would want to do in SQL that you can't with a JSON query?

> Loss of tooling ecosystem

This might be the only valid caveat in the entire article.
I agree. CORS is something my user agent does to protect me. It has nothing to do with the upstream site; I could easily browse it with a user agent that doesn't support CORS and nothing would break. CORS is just some annotations that lets my user agent determine "hey these scripts might be up to something shady". It is not a copy-protection mechanism by any means.

If you only offered one do you think you'd see a drop off in sales? If you have the volume, would you risk an A/B test to confirm the loss in sales versus the loss in fees? I'm guessing, from other comments, that many customers prefer PayPal when it's available.
I don't think "nowhere near as complex as it seems" is anywhere close to describing what many consider the most complex game ever built, including many industry veterans. Every material has dozens of variables (such as density), every creature's limb acts differently, there are thousands of materials and object types and most are researched thoroughly.

It is the most complex simulation game ever created (though not the most accurate). The fact that it's not very hard to play as you'd imagine, does not mean it is not complex.
Sure, but some criminal investigators have figured out how to know "what the stuff is". They serve it themselves, and have hashes for the encrypted chunks.

As far as "who requested" the stuff, as you say in your other reply, they have some statistical arguments. I agree with the Freenet Project that they're very likely bullshit.

However, if you're facing criminal charges, you'd better have resources for expert testimony to discredit their arguments. And if you don't, accepting a plea bargain may be the best option. Even if you are truly innocent.

"In other countries with universal healthcare [...]"

Not sure where you live or where you've been too, but you make some sweeping arguments about dozens of countries.

Mostly everything you say is wrong about Germany (>65% taxation, no private insurance, share room with 5 people, treatments in your room, toilet not in the room, uneatable food, ...).
Removing dependencies is the number one thing a company can do to make teams more productive.
Perhaps you're being downvoted because you're unable to back up any of these vague claims with facts.

I'm not sure which country you're talking about but this doesn't reflect my experience of healthcare in the UK at all (presumably one of the 5 countries you mention).

Our private healthcare system is truly world class and very affordable (it has to compete with the NHS, after all). Yes, medical insurance is available to cover this. That said, even the NHS will routinely cover treatments that aren't "medically necessary" - even cosmetic surgery in some cases where it will demonstrably improve the patient's quality of life.

I don't believe there are any countries in the world with ">65% taxation". What is this figure even referring to?

Just saying, so nobody reading the threads thinks they have to go grab some new database if they are already using one!

Some vehicles already log the speed -- it's routine in road traffic collisions to read it out of the vehicle computers. As I understand, it only covers the last few minutes prior to engine stop / loss of power.

There's also the age-old method of looking at the speedometer: in a high-speed collision, the return spring tends to fail. Result is the needle gets stuck at the impact speed or close to it.
