I hate the "Holocaust census data" argument because presented like this, it can be used to demonize pretty much anything. Yes, Nazis used census data because it was available. Were it not, they would've used something else. When a band of monsters with resources of a country wants to get you, they will get you. You have to consider the possibility of it, but in times of peace, it's no way for living. Census data isn't collected in anticipation of future monsters in power - it's collected to provide immediate benefit to citizens.

The right answer is not "this dataset shouldn't exist" - it's "what benefits does this data give us, and do those benefits outweigh the risk of abuse?".

In the U.S. a large segment of the population (100M+) is told over-and-over again that they should rely on the expertise and charity of the elite in business and politics to take care of them.

IMPE, the most seasoned developers on the project (e.g.: ten years or more) had the experience, that comes with age in position, to know when redundant code was being made and they voiced such during code-reviews for pull-requests.

The intrinsic problem with this approach, of course, is that you need the people to stick around for this to work and to force code-reviews for check-ins.

> I'm genuinely curious about this: are vegans who are against animals suffering in any form universal anti-natalists?

When you say "against animals suffering in any form" you make it sound like you mean both in the human-operated animal industry and wild in nature, and also that these vegans would want to prevent wild animals from breaking their legs or something because it induces suffering. I haven't seen vegans argue that we should interfere with nature to limit suffering in that way.

Some vegans are utilitarians (what I've read of Peter Singer comes to mind), and then I guess it comes down to if you think that the benefits of the animal's life outweighs the suffering when considering if they should have been born or not.

Other vegans are into animal rights, where you assign unalienable rights to animals like the right to freedom, but these vegans wouldn't even consider your idea of ending all animal suffering. They would be antinatalist in the sense that being born into captivity and raised just to be slaughtered for meat is wrong, and for that animal it would surely have been better to not have been born at all.

I'm heavy on the animal rights side and extremely suspicious of utilitarianism. I'm sure that hardcore utilitarianism could lead to the bizarre conclusion that you're presenting, but I haven't seen it argued.

IMHO Huawei has built a better foldable phone. Seems samsung has rushed this out to be the first vendor to release this type of phone, a shame really.

Yes, the film was about the times of Jesus, about groups of people that might have followed him, of people that might have helped to crucify him (for the same reasons - blindly following the crowd), about Romans, about Jews, about Jews hating Romans, about Romans oppressing Jews, about ridiculous laws, but... not really about Jesus. I watched the film again 2 weeks ago, hardly anything about Jesus. I can hardly believe anyone could identify Brian with Jesus, these are two completely different characters.

The problem with covering pre-existing conditions at all times is that you need to make insurance mandatory, due to the adver selection problem.

If insurance is optional, then only people that know they are sick or will get sick will dominate the insurance, making it more expensive, and pushing the healthy-low risk out.

Its a well known economics problem that has no silver bullet.

What is crazy to me is that insurance is involved in paying primary care doctors. That is a terrible application of health insurance, and have full faith on high deductible plans bringing sanity back into this.

These kinds of things are typically done for optics rather than any actual empathy for the vulnerable/less fortunate, It's just a failed attempt to win over the hearts of more of those consumers that can and will pay. Wealth/income inequality can only be solved by a redistribution. And such a redistribution can't rely on the same dynamics that caused the inequality in the first place. (How did these people become so food insecure?) The project was clearly doomed to fail from the outset and I think it makes sense to call people like this on their feel-good bullshit.
That's a fair point. I think many companies are doing such bastardly deeds because they can and because it brings in a profit. To some extent, if a company does not need to do such acts to survive & thrive, they will perhaps act more legitimately.

There’s a grey area between what is (should be?) unacceptable in a professional setting, and what constitutes a crime. Even in particularly egregious cases of sexual misconduct, it’s difficult to think of how many victims chose to go to trial. Civil settlements are much more common. Think Roger Ailes at Fox.

The local prosecutor in whatever jurisdiction this incident occurred in is likely to decline prosecuting the case. Prosecuting instances of sexual harassment (assault in this case?) Is not typically a prosecutor’s first choice for how to use their office’s limited time and resources.

Maybe she could’ve filed a claim with the EEOC? But, that’s a long drawn out process as well. Most victims of harassment may just choose to try a company’s internal HR processes, since an EEOC claim may require spending inordinate amounts of time, and maybe money if you hire professional help.

From the dozens of Twitter and personal blog testimonials of DataCamp instructors (contractors), it seems that but for collective pressure and organizing from the instructors, DataCamp would’ve just swept this whole incident under the rug.

Even if the checklist was responsible for all of the improvement in surgical outcomes that doesn't mean the other items don't have an affect anywhere else. And again, it's not hand-waving to suggest that the item that has the largest direct impact on surgical operations is mainly responsible for the reduction. There's a difference between you wanting a more thorough study and something being "obviously nonsense".
I do know that you can create StyleCop rules to try to check for redundancy. For example, we had a type derived from System.DateTime in .NET that was to be used (instead of System.DateTime) and the smoketest builds would fail for the StyleCop violation.

So, using your version example, you could create a rule that checks if the method .ctor() has the word version in it and if it leverages any of the same single lines of code; however, I haven't the faintest idea of if I'm right in that it was StyleCop or how you would go about implementing it but I believe what you're looking for can be done.

Most companies don't go that route, though, unless there's security implications because the ROI is so high for the implementation.
in fact between Italian and Spanish (Castilian Spanish) there is an indirection: the common link to Catalan.
That's not exactly true, it depends on the architecture in use. For instance if using a Publish/Subscribe model, you could have had a service that listens to your email being connected, and since the only reason to connect your email was to upload contacts, it would upload contacts automatically.

Later when login with email was added, the same event was sent but whomever added the event didn't know it would case the upload of contacts.

That doesn't mean it wasn't shoddy craftsmanship, bad architecture, bad QA and probably bad communication later on, but it could have been by mistake (at least at first).

Well, for a start... having a single file called "server.rs" which is 2256 lines long is already disqualifying. This file, code structure would be incredibly poor for developer efficiency. It just grows and grows and does all the things while having a vague sounding name like "server.rs" Why is server.rs doing "EditSite." What does the name EditSite mean anyway?

Poor code reuse, same bits of code copy and pasted all over instead of being refactored out into their own methods. Methods which are doing too much different crap. The single responsibility principle is broken everywhere.

Imagine trying to write unit tests for "Perform for EditPost", this method is doing far too much and would be a pain in the ass to fully test. If you're making a method called "EditPost" it should only be doing the actual post editing, not making connections, or user validation or checking for a ban. These should happen in a method which only handles connections, or a method which is called "ValidateUser" which is properly re-used.

Generally speaking, the structure as a whole isn't very readable, poor names, methods and files which are doing too much. The project wouldn't scale well with a bigger team or if it grew in terms of codebase size.

Hear hear. It's like the programming mindset has been applied to day to day life. Ruthless pursuit of efficiency and automation, maximum and continuous delegation to the system and machine - these things suffuse everything and are even elevated to the status of values. It makes sense with something as error-prone and cognitively challenging as code, especially considering how well suited machines are to handling it. But now these values have been transferred into the business of daily human living and taken to an extreme. How good an idea that is, and what the end results will be, those things aren't obvious to me.

Companies I have worked at that have outsourced their IT infrastructure have almost always consistently showed a lack of care, experience, training and competence when it came to looking after our systems. In many cases I really believe that it ultimately cost the company more in lost efficiencies and downtime than if they had kept the infrastructure expertise in-house.

Nope.

There were two parts:

(1) Stock prices reflect market expectations as much (or more) than current realities. This includes the stock price prior to the current move.

So a 16% move could indicate that the market now expects a positive effect on QC where previously it had expected none. However, it could equally well reflect that the market previously expected a negative outcome, and the judgement will actually mean QC will not be affected in this negative way. We just don't know.

(2) It also depends on what you mean by "more". Let's say that there's a positive $2 billion effect. Is this effect greater on Apple or QC? If you view it in absolute terms, it's exactly the same effect. If you view it in relative terms, it is going to affect QC more than Apple, since QC is the smaller company.

However, if you take the latter definition, the OP's comment is a bit vacuous/redundant/tautological as Apple is always the bigger company. So the only meaningful statement we can make would be about the absolute effect, and this, once again, we cannot infer from the stock movement.
