I see that the pricing model has changed from flat-rate to per-GB. Much more interesting to work now, although still on the high-end (but nice that there's no further charge for queries). The previous comparison to a Postgres instance using JSONB still stands.

How do query times scale with data size? Also is there any full-text search (other than regex)? That would make it more compelling.

In my experience, most information is classified by virtue of it being aggregated and manipulated on a classified system. The only way to declassify that information is to have someone laboriously scrub all the data you want to put on an unclassified system and get it approved. if your entire network is classified, there's going to be a lot of mundane stuff there that is classified by default, because securing such a network requires that people can't just take data off of it without oversight.
Also (IIRC) you wanted the external tank to have as little remaining propellant in the main tank as possible, to facilitate separation without impacting the tank. Which meant that your burn times didn't really change when aborting, which is not a common feature of spacecraft abort systems to say the least.

And there was no way to eject the SRBs early, either. Once those lit, you were in for a ride...

The space shuttle had far more black zones in its launch profile than would have been acceptable in the Saturn program, or any manned program since.
afaik web components are mostly about encapsulation and semantics; they let you box up arbitrary HTML, JS and CSS and put a little bow on top so that it looks like one “custom” HTML tag to the rest of the document. (I could be misremembering.)

React is mostly about life cycles, propagation, and composition. The first two are orthogonal to web components afaik. The third has some overlap, but it’s mostly complementary with web components (once again, afaik.)

You asked this:

>I have no doubt that many folks who should be protesting Assange's arrest but aren't are acting thus because they dislike him. But I haven't seen anyone actually make that argument explicitly.

I am making that argument explicitly, though I don't claim to speak for everyone. Public opinion and sympathy varies from case to case based on perceptions.

> Also, being a "private entity" is not a litmus test for whether an entity is public and newsworthy

What's newsworthy about leaking someone being on maternity leave? The only newsworthy thing that came out of Podesta's emails was that 4chan and alt right trolls and conspiracy theorists created Pizzagate out of thin air, causing death threats to families and communities.

Not to mention Assange intentionally falsely implying Seth Rich was the real leaker, causing distress to his family.

Why should press protections apply to someone that tried to crack a NTLM password of a login of the US military? If anyone else did that, they would be prosecuted, why should Assange get special treatment?

Edit: In case you think things like Pizzagate were not aided and abetted by Wikileaks, they helpfully created a wiki for it.

Employees get taxed on the value that they vest at IPO, but are locked up from selling for 6 months. The company withholds a percentage, effectively selling a portion at IPO, but it is less than the effective tax rate. I should clarify that this applies to RSUs, not options.

Edit: something similar can happen with options as mentioned, but the mechanics are slightly different.
Speech Coach Has a Theory on Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes and Her Deep Voice
or maybe... whenever they feel like it?
Aliston is referring to a specific circumstance that screwed many employees during the dot-com boom. If you exercise your options, that creates a taxable event for the difference between your option strike price and the fair market value of the stock on date of exercise. If the stock price subsequently goes down a lot, you can end up with a tax bill greater than the market value of the stocks when the lock-up period ends. It was generally advantageous for employees in the rising stock environment of the dot-com bubble to exercise their options before the IPO, or shortly after. For one, it starts the long-term capital gains timer going, so you can sell for LTCG rates 6 months after the lockup ends rather than a year. Two, the difference between your option strike price and exercise price is taxed as income (usually - for NQs and ISOs over the AMT, but not ISOs in low tax brackets), but the difference between exercise price and sale price is taxed as capital gains. That created a situation where many employees had tax bills on stock worth less than the tax bill.

This situation doesn't apply when you have straight RSUs that you sell when the lockup ends. These are withheld at income tax rates when vesting, and then taxed as capital gains rate when you sell. The IPO price doesn't matter in this case.
I can see this being a case where the second mover has the advantage. Ie let Waymo struggle to find profitability, then hire away their talent and have at it.
Lucky for you your opinions are mainstream.
>Web Components will replace your frontend framework

Yeah, I very much doubt that.

Web Components is basically a suite of browser technologies. It's actually particularly heavy and I kind of hope it doesn't catch on personally, since it pushes so much to already giant monolithic web browsers.

Frameworks and libraries like React and Angular are tools for developing applications first and foremost. The actual technologies they're backed by doesn't matter, but if you can't reimplement either of them using WebComponents it should probably tell you something about WebComponents:

- It's very opinionated about a lot of things.

- It disagrees with many of the (much more popular) frontend frameworks far too much.

React does a whole lot of things right, and it does them right in a relatively small package with a relatively small API surface, and you can extract the essence into even smaller libraries. With functional components, you can even build React components that have almost no React in them at all, other than JSX.

I don't think we need new complicated technologies to solve the kinds of problems React solves. If anything, we need less, like an alternative to the current DOM model.

Most of the innovations in the frontend world don't seem like they can be cleanly applied to Web Components, or even layered on top of it. And if we want to update it down the road to a new major version, we have to wait for every major browser vendor to have a stable implementation and iron out edge cases/differences. That's not a good bet at all based on how it went with Web Components the first time.

In other words, No Thanks, I'll take my framework.
Yeah, the tank had to be empty before it could be dropped (so the RTLS profile actually involved continuing away from the launch site for a while in order to burn off all the fuel without overshooting the return).
Moreover, Thorpe was a polymath genius. So I’m not sure these four horsemen were thst influential. He later went on to make a killing running one of the first true long/short hedge fund and pioneering a lot of modern portfolio management theory. Trust me, markets are a lot harder than blackjack and Ed Thorpe was definately up to the task.
The main advantages are EdgeQL and the Data Model.

EdgeQL is a fully featured query language, with support for subqueries, aggregation, transactions, rich datatypes like tuples/named tuples, arrays, JSON, etc.

The Data Model is object-relational, with support for multiple inheritance of object types and links between them. GraphQL really shines when it's used to query EdgeDB, it just feels natural.

That said, GraphQL can only do relatively simple queries, like "fetch me a hierarchy of objects with this shape with some basic filters". EdgeQL, on the other hand, allows you to build queries as advanced as what you can do with SQL.

Finally, there's only one schema in EdgeDB. You don't need to maintain a separate GraphQL schema, like you need to with hasura and other GraphQL solutions.
> One traversal mechanism I'd love to see but I've never seen implemented coherently is... given my relationship to ancestor X, iterate through all my antecedent peers under x. This would make processing some kinds of structured data far simpler.

That sounds really simple to achieve with with a (lazy) function that returns a list containing all ancestors of a tree, and then a "until" or "up to" function that returns everything from that list until a certain condition is met.

Those are things that should be included alongside Map and Reduce :)

> How is it possible that ({k: 1} === {k: 1}) is false? I find this to be maddening. Thank goodness for lodash.

Oh, I strongly agree. And lodash should be the standard library of the language. Not only of Javascript, but most languages out there.

> End really is one of those hats-off bits of magic, and it's one of the first things that come to mind when any of the frothing haters pen statements that preclude anything good coming from method chaining.

About End (and point free style in general), I understand why people might dislike it, but then again, I think it comes down to familiarity. After ten years of exposure to LINQ, Haskell, underscore/lodash and FP in general I also find it super hard to follow code that uses for/do/while in overly clever ways (my own C code comes to mind).

I think I find it easier to see code as a "graph" rather than assigning something to a temporary variable, and that's what End allows me to.
> How on earth could they have not solved the drone ship landing video feed issue yet?

It's probably technically challenging and not a high priority. Why would this be something you want them to spend any significant resources on?

> Is it really that hard to keep a video camera working near a landing rocket?

Probably.

> Even if the feed cuts out, can they not just record it locally and rebroadcast?

They literally do this all the time. Look at their YouTube channel, and you can see that they release the completed landings after the fact, even if the live broadcast cut out.

> It makes absolutely no sense.

I disagree. I don't think your expectations make any sense.
Health care. If you're running on-prem, it does a good job of integrating Kubernetes where it's not something my data scientists have to worry about. Also fairly easy to tie in our data mart and all of our databases - MS, Oracle, DB2, MongoDB, etc.
Wouldn't the same also apply for the Wikimedia Foundation?
If your data (or at least data about you) is everywhere, there's only one thing left to do. You'll have to engage in a misinformation campaign about yourself. Send advertisers so much conflicting information about yourself that they can't distinguish the signal from the noise. That way they won't be able to target you.

This may sound ludicrous, but there actually is a browser plugin out there (I don't have a link handy, unfortunately) that confounds meaningful tracking efforts by clicking on each and every ad on every page you view. The pages the ads link to aren't actually displayed to you.

Like I said, it's a crazy tactic but it makes perfect sense. Overwhelm them with data.

Google strongly opposes it, by the way. So it must be on the right track.

Funny, I had a similar (but somewhat opposite) experience: was a happy Atom user for some years until it started slowing down, freezing at increasing frequency; it was due to my having a massive tree of folders and files (top-level folder with all projects), with lots of symbolic and hard links. I had checked out VS Code a few times, but finally a couple months ago I was forced to make a switch - then pleasantly surprised how easy it was to migrate to it.

VS Code is not as hackable of an editor, but it comes with great sensible defaults out of the box. I gave up trying to fully customize it, settled with a few tweaks, and have been very satisfied with it as a daily driver. At least for my use case, it's been more reliable and performant than Atom.

The type hinting and "IntelliSense" is one of my favorite features (I'm sure Atom has a plugin for it). I think VS Code hits the sweet spot between an editor and a full-on IDE.

EDIT: Oh, I didn't see this in the article, but it seems Atom is addressing the exact issue I was having:

> The fuzzy finder’s project crawling performance has been improved dramatically by switching to a ripgrep-powered backend. This is most noticeable in projects with large numbers of files - for example, we measured a 14x speed boost in a project with 270K files.
Homo erectus had an amazing range, both spacial and temporal. It inhabited the whole of the Africa-Eurasia landmass, and did so for over a million years (from 1.8Mya to 800kya). It is no surprise we're finding evidence of island populations that managed to survive even later (such as Flores).

As for the later stages,:

Sapiens or proto-Sapiens interbred with Neanderthals even earlier than the widely accepted cca 40kya admixture date; somewhere between 430kya and 270kya Sapiens dna enters Neandertal genome. While most of it was eventually bred out, mtDNA remained and all later Neandertal populations carried Sapiens mtDNA, with their original mtDNA disappearing

The reason for noncongruent out of Africa migration dates is that at least two occurred; other than the generally accepted cca 70kya migration, there was an earlier one which was limited to coastal areas of Arab peninsula, Indian subcontinent and SE Asia until it reached the previously unpopulated area behind the Wallace line, where it resulted in PNG and Australian aboriginal populations.

The reason for coastal-only migration until PNG was that those areas were already inhabited by Neanderthals and Denisovans whom Sapiens was unable to outcompete.

Only after Toba eruption (75kya) do those populations become weakened enough for Sapiens to outcompete them and that's when we see first successful migration to Middle East.

And yet he continues doing it.

The problem isn't that people are demanding accurate dates for launches and then getting mad he wasn't exactly correct, the problem is that he is underestimating launch times significantly and stating them publicly with confidence.
In 3D the cross product can be understood as follows:

-You define the cross product as the area of the parallelogram formed by two vectors,

-Draw a normal to it,

-Use some convention to decide on which side the normal
should stick out such that when you reverse the two vectors being multiplied, the resultant vectors is multiplied by -1.

In more (3+n) dimensions there is a problem with this approach. The resulting normal vector can point in any one of (n+1) dimensions. The intuition here is try to draw of normal vector to a line in 3D space. You can do it in 2D space, but in 3D space there is a plane that it normal to the line.

So we need to decide what direction should the vector point in inside this 1+n dimensional space. It seems like any convention will do. We could solve the orientation problem in 3D after all. But it seems like any convention you try has the property that when you break vectors a and b into parts and perform the cross product operation on all pairs of parts (one part from each vector a_i x b_j) and then sum it up the result isn't equal to a x b.

This article is saying a working convention can be given in 7 dimensions (n=4), and no other dimensions. Which is nuts. If anyone has any insight as to why I'd love to hear it.

> It is not rocket science to create a web page and post documents online, the idea you need Wikileaks for that - to filter it for you - is ridiculous.

It seems doing so anonymously might be a bit tricky for folks without technical knowledge. Hell, I'm a programmer and I still would be afraid to publish without the guarantee of anonymity provided by a "trusted" third party.

They also provide protection for people who they deemed to have aligned interests - e.g. Snowden.

I agree though that there shouldn't be a filter on what gets leaked. But it may be necessary given the fact that the US government has the resources and laws that it does.

For RSUs the withholding should be in shares - if your effective tax rate is 40% and you vest 5 shares a month, they grant you 3 shares and immediately sell 2 to cover the taxes. If your effective tax rate was 30%, they'd round up, still sell 2 of them, but remit the cash in excess of taxes to your paycheck. At least that was how my Google shares worked. A higher IPO price works to your advantage, because the refund you get for fractional shares is worth more. You're also never in the position where you have to cover the (income) taxes for RSUs with cash from the stock sale, because the taxes have already been withheld in stock. You only have to pay capital gains when you sell.
Thanks. I find it interesting that they are reporting success hitting two apparently seperate trigger mechanisms of the same process in the same study. I wonder how this will hold up in further studies as this seems kinda lucky.
