True, but it's Good Enough for most people, who only deal with ZIP files infrequently and generally only ever encounter relatively small ones.

When I talk to these folks and probe why they think they need WinZip, they never say "oh, I was trying to uncompress a 7GB file the other day in Explorer and it took forever." They say "I'm on Windows, and this is a Zip, therefore I need WinZip." They're usually genuinely surprised to find out that this is something Windows can do all by itself.

The salaries and other compensation are often high enough that if you live modestly, invest your money, and most importantly, the stock goes up, the career might be over when you realize you have enough to retire early.

But as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
They key point is "fire control" You don't want to randomly throw water on a fire, which likely won't impact the fire in itself, but destroy the things not touched by the fire.

For getting a fire down you either have to prevent it from access to oxygen or prevent spreading.

A big fire like that can't be covered completely to be cut of from oxygen.

With fire control you can however try to cool down the areas close to inflammation to prevent further spreading. Save what can be saved, like the lower walls.
> hardly characterize him as a person who is independent and self-reliant

Maybe you have some example as to why.

> allowing your well-being dependent on being above some level in some social hierarchy is hardly considered being self-reliant.

This sounds like a mischaracterization of whatever it is is espoused. No one lives in a bubble, but a strong social network isn't antithetical to self-reliance, because self-reliance isn't an absolute nor is it purported to be - 0 people are entirely self-reliant in the literal sense. It's in practice about initiative, to move beyond a stagnant dependency. For example, seeking professional help in the instance of mental health to improve our lot, or reading a book to that same end, is an example of self-reliance at work. No one can make you do it. You have to want to improve. I see it as self-motivation.

Balancing the risk/reward of poaching employees from a partner company makes sense.

This is not about backroom agreements to artificially keep wages down, but about weighing the pro's and con's any particular action which could derail important projects.

If the employee is worth more than the risks of poaching them, then do so. If not, it would be foolhardy to do so.

Very cool project and nice documentation. I have to assume you'd already be aware of this, but if not (or for others who come across this), it reminds me of Martin Molin's "MODULIN":

Yes, I wouldn't expect to find much rigor at Cousin Ricky's house of email. This is Hotmail. They don't have any excuses. They handle a ton of email for a lot of people, people depend on them, and they are a big target.

If this was a specially privileged superuser account, it should have had more attention paid to it. Yes, it's hard to scale audits or monitoring to the entire customer support org. But if you only have three people that can actually read people's emails, you can certainly audit just their use.

If it's not a specially privileged superuser, then every random helpdesk account can read everything from everyone. This does not inspire confidence.

And even skipping all the complex systems that should have been in place for a system the size of Hotmail: Why did this account not have 2FA? This is basic stuff.
It's not determinative, but it shows who to investigate.
The offerings of MS (the Zune) and others (Creative, Sandisk, Toshiba, Sony, etc.) were more than good enough, and they worked with a variety of online music stores.

I have only ever written one blog post on medium. I don't know why, but it still gets hits: https://medium.com/@thepulkitagarwal/deploying-a-keras-model...

The reason I bring this up is because this page uses code directly from my blog post (the function print_graph_nodes). I was surprised to see that on this page, although there is no reference to my post here.

I remember wasting time on writing this function to ensure that the formatting (ie the '=======================INPUT===================') looked good :P This had actually helped me find a bug in my own code.

Happy to know I helped in some way :)
Let’s not peddle flimsy rumors, especially not those accusing certain groups (as made here using the linked article).

There is nothing to be lost in waiting for actual investigative results. And, fwiw, the early images clearly point to the fire breaking out in the roof, where construction scaffolds are clearly visible in all the images.
I have significant doubts much will survive at this point. I am not an expert, by any means, but once a large part of the upper building has, it's pretty darn hard to contain. There is a lot of stone, and I presume a lot of that will survive in some form or another, but how much of the actual construction as a whole...
>And this went on for six months

By "this" you mean "Someone had access to that particular help desk account", not the whole system ?
I was 18 when I was sent to a university hostel with a terrible dining system. My parents didn't give me a penny beyond what was required to survive.

These employees aren't very sympathetic victims. Nobody wants to hear about how some 5%-er with a bunch of good alternatives should be making more and having more choices about who to work for.

You'll even find in the comments here that many of the affected employees themselves feel they got at worst a fair deal, because after all some (most!) workers get paid less and work in harsher conditions and so forth.
Parts of it have already collapsed just since you wrote your comment.

It's way too early to say it 'will be fine'. A fire like this could destroy the entire structure.

Because many platforms might not exist under those conditions.

I think Steve Jobs was initially opposed to allowing third party apps at all. Amazon market place might not exist either. Google, Amazon or Microsoft might not be offering AI services to third parties. There might not be extension APIs for MS Office or Google Docs.

Instead we could be seeing a whole lot more vertical integration and a whole lot less opportunity for small vendors to leverage technology that benefits from economies of scale.

I think it's better to let things evolve and then regulate when problems become obvious. Otherwise everything could be as stagnant as many utilities are today.

Is it possible your kid has celiac disease? It's not unheard of for untreated celiac children to have a ton of cavities. Once all sources of gluten are removed from the kid's diet their teeth tend to strengthen. The fact that celiac is an autoimmune disease could easily make this study relevant as well. The body-wide immune response of a celiac could easily change when gluten is removed from the digestive tract.
Trump gave the same advice. After being involved in projects where we had to put out some fires it annoys the hell out of me when people who never have thought about the problem give some "advice" or say "why don't you just".

I have an Axis 49 (Harmonic Table layout - and years out of production) but in recent years I've taken to using a computer keyboard with Wicki-Hayden bindings. It lacks a bit in range and consistency but it's very easy to access. However I will also use traditional keys and practice my scales on them.

Each of these options develops different muscle memory and creative tendencies, but it is easier to work out modulation possibilities on the isomorphic layouts. Getting the Axis49 was like an instant "level up" to my theory skills because it made so many things come together visually.

A recent piece of hardware that lets you try the isomorphic layout cheaply is the Hyve touch synth: https://www.hyvesynth.com

But while spirits became a larger share of alcohol consumed, "per capita annual consumption [immediately after the repeal of prohibition] stood at 1.2 US gallons (4.5 liters), less than half the level of the pre-Prohibition period". Likewise, "[d]eath rates from cirrhosis and alcoholism, alcoholic psychosis hospital admissions, and drunkenness arrests all declined steeply". In short, prohibition worked as a public health policy.

You can't just point out that something will cause unintended consequences. You have to actually weight them against the benefits the policy provides. Obviously fewer potheads for more heroin addicts was a bade trade, but fewer cigarette smokers for a slightly larger black market has proven to be a great one. We haven't seen the nicotine equivalent of fentanyl your "risk ladder" model predicts.

Notre Dame will be fine.

Sadly, no, it won't. The area where the fire looks worst was already deteriorating significantly -- if you visited in recent years, you would have seen heavy duty nets and the like to control damaged masonry, for example -- and you have a lot of materials that are either combustible or at the very least susceptible to heat damage of one kind or another.

One of the great architectural wonders is falling apart before our eyes, and it is just very, very sad.

[Edit: Shortly after I wrote this, the spire fell. A spokesman for the cathedral has confirmed that they do not expect any of the timber interior to survive the fire. So, so sad.]

Paying the most talented, hardest-working employees more than the average Joe who barely works to rule is not allowed, you see.

Probably no one is arguing that SV programmers have particularly hard lives in the larger picture, but if you get in the habit of punishing collusion insufficiently because, 'eh, I've got enough flex in my budget', you're being a little selfish.

"It shows who to investigate," also implies a predetermined outcome and guilt. It's more that it shows there's something to investigate, period. In 2019, we should be cautious about applying bulk statistics instantly to blame or suspicion.

Agree about the executives but if the shareholders and employees feel enough pain they may actually do something. Right now the "punishment" doesn't cause anybody enough pain.
I do this to my kids. I don't know if it helps. (The older one is 9 who eats almost everything and a younger picky eater who is 5.) Getting them to try a wider variety of food is often tough since it is easy to fall back on the usual stuff. Occasionally I have new types of food, I would make a small bitesize and use all the powers I have for them to take the first mouth. If they swallow it without tasting, they get a second mouth of it. They have to describe the taste to me precisely in simple terms, e.g sweet, chunky, sour, like apples etc. Often when they have a conscious bias, e.g. the younger one dislikes anything that resembles white creamy sauce, they will say it is "yucky". Yucky is not a taste descriptor. I sometimes add things they like e.g. bits of chocolate. My goal is to encourage them to focus on the taste and make connections like "this ugly piece of food will taste like chocolate since there is chocolate. Btw it is actually sweet as well". Basically, I am trying to address a unconscious bias in their imagination of the taste. It also helps to understand better what they really like and what is totally unacceptable. For example, taste-wise, tomatoes are off limits to my older one ... for now because you never know when it changes. :) Hope this gives you some ideas.
