While highly repeatable, the biggest issue I've seen with this pattern is actually the data pipeline component. Specifically:

- The pricing structures don't tend to be amenable to this operating model. Most of the newer SaaS ETL services like Fivetran and Alooma tend to structure their pricing discrimination/tiering to favor a higher volume of throughput through a low number of individual connectors/sources. At least the last time I was sourcing one of these solutions, trying to follow the above pattern (a high volume of individual connections with potentially low volume of events from each source) was almost impossible to negotiate without a substantial increase in cost for any given volume of events.

- The pricing structures also tend to be unfriendly to unpredictable and unknown event volume, particularly at the pre-launch phase. While that's not a problem if you're aiming towards the enterprise space or have investment capital to burn, it's a non-starter for people looking to bootstrap an idea that may or may not gain any market adoption. Industry- and domain-specific BI tools are inherently niche, and tend to have a market discovery phase as you align with that industry. Committing to minimal annual event volume for your data pipelines before you've even attempted to go to market pushes you towards rolling your own pipelines and away from using any of the tools like Fivetran that would have simplified the go to market process in the first place.

- Data security and legal compliance. It's quite possibly more of an issue with my current environment and client pool, which skews more towards the enterprise. But my current job is infinitely more difficult because leveraging SaaS-based ETL tools like Fivetran, Alooma, Funnel.io, Supermetrics, etc are all absolute non-starters. Between GDPR, the new California privacy laws, and all of the press on data leaks over the last few years, any solution that includes "sending internal data to external companies" or "providing credentials for internal data sources to external parties" triggers instant lawyer and IT security review. And that includes going all the way down the rabbit hole - if we try to use a vendor, then we need to know and audit who all they give access to, etc. Which basically means we have to roll our own pipelines and keep them internal or on a client's own cloud account. At least for a lot of interesting use cases for domain-specific BI tools, I could see that same caginess coming into play.
A lot of people are guarded in corporate settings. They speak in corporate talk and don’t really appear human. If you’re “vulnerable” then this shield of corporate invincibility is put down and people can be people. That’s in my view what is meant - whether this is the proper use of the term, I will leave to you. For me, vunerability, empathy, and gratitude have all become corporate lingo that at this point I would be surprised if anyone truly knew what they were talking about but I guess it feels better to say them.
This is correct, at least for excel and word (xlsx and docx, respectfully, dont know about the others). And past the zip, theyre both largely terse xml under the hood abiding by a published schema. This is actually pretty convenient and allows for cross platform tools for creating/consuming files. For instance, I like the xlsxwriter Python module for creating xlsx files (no affiliation with the project, but I've used it at a couple of jobs to create some pretty nice spreadsheets, with no need for an excel install on a server). A lot of early Python modules required an Excel install and worked over COM, so on both accounts, Windows only.
I guess:

1.Most people who can not read Chinese believe "detained" or "arrested" is on the photo of the newspaper as a proof. Is it true? Ask your friend who can read Chinese what the head line says. If the author was honest, she should explicitly stated that "detained" or "arrested" is from other source but not from the image. She is manipulating readers perception while she can claim she didn't lie.

2.No body notice the date of the newspaper is missing. If I say this is quite old news , would anybody be supprised? Is the missing date accidental?

Here's my anecdonal experiance:

It the photo true? Yes.

Is CPP tighten the control of WeChat? Yes, Just as the photo shows. a while ago. There's no warning of arrest though.

Are there any WeChat admin arrested that public know? Yes, somebody selling pornagraphy content.

Are there any trouble with WeChat groups because of politics? Yes. I have been inside at least 2 groups with many members havning strong anti-government sentiments. The consequence is the groups were shut down because of many anti-CPP content. The admins openned another group , hand picked up all the old members into the new group because the "shut down" was that anybody in the group can only see his/her own words but not others. The admin can still access all the members information.

What do we behave in the new group? Still the same but use twiseted expression that anybody knows meaning while avoid automated censorship. No human really read messages to detect sensitive word but robot. Usually replace some words sounds the same but wrong characters.

What if you can not help expressing anger against government? Don't do it in group but in your "Moment" and use images with text content instead of text that robot can detect. Even most Chinese believe this can cause trouble from government but one of my friend did this all the time. Nobody from government pay attention to him.

I totally against censorship. But I also don't like media selling their own ideaology with disinformation. Tell truth please.
Sometimes I think we would be better off hiring people on the spot at random.

In France we have a legal maximal 4 months trial period for employees so... This gives enough time I think.

How can you explain this: in Android 5.1, every time you enable GPS, a popup appears asking you to share location with Google. There is a checkbox titled "Don't show again", but if you tick it, the button "Decline" gets disabled [1].

I don't have the exact screenshot, but the popup looks approximately like this [2].

They intentionally wrote the code to make sure that the user doesn't make the wrong choice. And this popup is not really necessary for the user, mostly for Google.

Also, this reminds me of Google's "Amateur Hour" story with Firefox. Every time they make a mistake, it's in the favour of Google, what a coincidence.

I'd love to add Azure support but I'm not super familiar with it. Would be great to chat about it sometime.
Actually it was tied to Windows upgrades. It available for older versions of Windows but it was developed as part of development of new version of Windows!

MS IE 1 was developed for Windows 95 Plus!, MS IE 2 for Windows NT 4.0, MS IE 3 was for Windows 95 OSR2 (essentially new OS, it even included it's own brand-new filesystem!), MS IE 4 was for Windows98 (but was rushed with Windows 95 OSR 2.5), MS IE 5.0 was for Windows 2000 (but was included as part of Windows 98 SE), MS IE 5.5 for was Windows ME (which wasn't initially planned - that's why it got 5.5 number, not 6), MS IE 6 was for Windows XP, MS IE 7 was for Windows Vista (and since Vista was horribly delayed so was MS IE 7) and MS IE 8 was for Window 7!

The first version of MS IE which wasn't developed as part of Windows development was actually MS IE 9.

Me too. I can't say one way or the other, I can only speak to what I perceive in my career. I believe I've made it this far, in part at least, due to the extra hours I've put in. I believe I'm a much better programmer for it too.

But I also put way more in than an extra 2 hours a day.
It might not work because it hasn't been completely tested. The human is the test and people may die during the testing process.

Why should anyone go to jail over this? The startup was just testing it out and the person was willing to take the risk. They might not have even known that it would kill the patient.

When a patient dies, the family will most likely try to sue the company that created the treatment. What company would ever take a risk like this?

The bright side is that the human testers in China will lead to better care in the rest of the world.
>If they tended to seek employment elsewhere, which I believe to be the case, then that makes my point.

That is ignoring the point you actively quoted. Once wages decrease enough workers exit the workforce. There is no reason for them to continue working when the costs of living outstrip their wages. This is not even a hypothetical, you can look at modern families that decide to have a parent stay at home because daycare costs outstrip their salary to see this in effect today. You can imagine this happening of wages got so low that a person would be able to spend time growing their own food and getting more free time than if they worked and traded their paltry wages for food.

Having all competitors increased wages would have pulled more workers into the workforce from the pool of people who had decided that they got better value out of doing their own thing rather than working for a company, so everyone would win.

>This doesn't make sense to me. If employers didn't have enough staff, they would increase bottom wages in order to fill those positions rather than forgo potential profit and business health. If there is unemployment and bottom wages are low, then that says something about the labor market, not minimum wage

You are mixing two concepts here. You see correct that if unemployment is high and bittom wages are low then the market is not valuing that labor. The government is mandating a minimum wage would still bring more workers out of the "not looking for work" section of society into the workforce by increasing the benefit of working for those workers.

I feel as though you are suggesting that companies should only pay what workers are worth to them and the government should stay completely out of it. That is a logically consistent viewpoint if you are ok with people who don't currently have a valuable skill dieing in the streets from poverty. Our society,in most western European derived societies, has decided that this is not acceptable and has put in social safety nets to prevent this.

When an employer pays too little to live and the government has to step in to provide enough extra for the employees, that means every taxpayer, including you and me, are now subsidising that employer. If the government wasn't there then the workforce for the employer would either leave them or die off and the employer would naturally be forced to increase wages or go out of business.

As it stands I see three options for society, and only 2 ethical ones.

Option 1, the government taxes everyone enough to provide ubi and employers no longer have any limitation on them concerning minimum wage or other compensation. If they want to offer 1 penny per century and someone agrees, that's fine.

Option 2, minimum compensation is encoded into law and increased to the point where the government no longer has to provide any welfare

Option 3, which I personally find immoral but would be logically consistent, is that we go completely laissez faire so employers can offer what they want, the government doesn't tke taxes to provide welfare, and of a citizen doesn't have a valuable skill they either learn a valuable skill or die from lack of medicine or food

As renters are also fully exposed to those, the existence of them does not alter the degree of the stability advantage for home ownership over renting.

It's basically another way to spread fear to encourage self censorship. If admins believe they are liable for anything non-kosher, then they'd actively censor it themselves to avoid potential wrath.

Throw in a few news articles of someone being arrested for a trivial group post, and it becomes an example of 杀一儆百 which translates as "to kill 1 as a warning to 100"
First of all, yes, people should be using multiple DNS providers for services that require very high uptime. Amazon.com itself notably uses Dyn and UltraDNS as its nameservers.

That said, I'm not sure this would have helped in this case. It seems like some or all of the problem was internal Azure zones were failing to resolve. Which no third party DNS provider would be able to mitigate.

An acquaintance was involved in diagnosis of autism in US schools.

There are autistics that clearly have something severely wrong with them. They flap their hand, frequently have extremely low IQs, and are not going to be able to effectively participate in society in any meaningful way. You don't need much any expertise to diagnose these people, other than to know that autism exists. Her expertise came in diagnosing people whom I think many would challenge the diagnosis of. It seemed anybody who exhibited less interest in social interactions or engaged awkwardly, and had 'quirks' was designated as being "on the spectrum."

There are radically different different rates of diagnosis in the US by state. Though there are going to be some biases between states, this does seem at least reasonably strong evidence against any sort of genetic, environmental, or other factor. It's obvious that "autism", whatever it may be be, does exist but I think the sharp differences in diagnostic rates are probably simply down to the clinician choosing to diagnose (or not) people who do not clearly exhibit as autistic. It'd be interesting to have 10 clinicians each independently diagnose the same 1000 children. I expect you'd see some fairly sharp differences between them. Go figure, another aspect of psychology that's not replicable.
My mom has low five digits in terms of retirement and her husband recently suffered from an Ischemic Stroke which left him paralyzed on his right side.

We grew up poor, and no one in my family was financially literate. There was never talk about investing money. I wish more families and the school system made people more financially literate.

All that being said, I started to work on an action plan to ensure my mom doesn't have to spend her "golden" years struggling. I much rather fight now, work hard, and hustle than watch my mom spend the latter half of her life struggling.

So what's my action plan?

a) I am taking off of work for a few months to help her sort out her money situation and calculate how much she'll need to survive.
b) Investing my funds in stock in "reasonably stable" companies like Amazon.
c) Working on a side project that I hope will help bring in additional money for my mom and also help others break into IT.
e) I invest in my 401k + IRA to ensure I have some funds in my older age.

I'm confident that I'll figure out how to take care of my mother and also my retirement. It'll be a grind, but that's a life I'm use to living.
Admissions Scandal: When ‘Hard Work’ (Plus $6.5m) Helps Get You into Stanford
Randomizing people to have sex with an HIV+ or placebo partner would bring down the IRB's wrath quite quickly. For that reason, a lot of this stuff is done observationally, where you just track people doing whatever they were going to do anyway. The data is often not as clean as a randomized controlled trial, but it seems much more ethical.

An earlier trial (HPTN 052) did actually run a RCT, but the treatment strategy was randomized, not the partner. It worked so well that the trial was actually stopped early and everyone was offered antivirals. Cohen et al. (2011) reported the results here: https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa1105243?url_ver=Z39.8...
The uncertainty that remains is "will an undetectable HIV+ individual stay undetectable?". The answer is "yes" with medication compliance, but the stakes are much higher than for compliance with birth control, where noncompliance is an issue.
Try to give people a reason to keep reading near the start, rather than near the end. Suggestions:

Start with two images: overhead of a bento box and an android app with a similarish layout. Omit the explanatory text. Alt1: put it at the end. Alt2: don't even have images; an in-joke helps word of mouth.

Mention the key benefits before going into excruciating detail. From my skim, it seems to be that it's small without dependencies, but otherwise just the same as standard GUI layouts. i.e. the cute name is unrelated to its benefits or differentiation... what makes it cool.

The above suggestions, though specific and actionable, might be perceived as "complaints", so I'll add that I really like small simple solutions. And, I may have missed what really makes Bento cool.

It depends on your definition of “kill”.

OpenSolaris -> Illumos

Hudson -> Jenkins

OpenOffice -> LibreOffice

MySQL -> MariaDB (not killed, but forked out of fear it would be)

And a non-Oracle example:

Node.js -> IO.js (arguable - forked because Node dev was stagnant, eventually merged)

Exactly, no warnings for 15 minutes. Which means the driver HAD received warnings, understood the warnings, and learned how to avoid the warnings with such proficiency that he did not receive one for 15 minutes. It is not possible to avoid these warnings without being acutely aware of what the car was warning him not to do.

Furthermore, as a licensed car driver, he should know that driving is his responsibility. Nothing a car manufacturer says can diminish that responsibility. Even if Tesla's feature descriptions were ambiguous or insufficiently clear, that doesn't override the responsibility of a licensed car driver to remain in command of the vehicle at all times.

It's not Tesla's fault if a driver ignores the requirements of their driver license AND the vehicle's clearly worded warnings. Claiming that the driver is not at fault because they interpreted the word "autopilot" to mean "I can disregard my responsibility as a driver and ignore the vehicle's very clear warnings" is absurd.
> YOU are of opinion it would be proper to establish a company of firemen in Nicomedia, [similar] to what has been practised in several other cities. But it is to be remembered that societies of this sort have greatly disturbed the peace of the province in general, and of those cities in particular. Whatever name we give them, and for whatever purposes them may be founded, they will not fail to form themselves into factions, assemblies, however short their meetings may be. It will therefore be safer to provide such machines as are of service in extinguishing fires, enjoining the owners of houses to assist in preventing the mischief from spreading, and, if it should be necessary, to call in the aid of the populace.

It's not, since there are strong environmental differences between states, and probably significant differences in population genetics.

Not if literally everything is using encryption.

The point of encryption and plausible deniability, is to force everyone to use encryption, so that if authoritarian regimes want to punish people, then they have to screw over everyone, including completely innocent internet users.
