Tech Stack: Lever uses our own open source MVC framework called Derby that syncs all data via Operational Transformation (the algorithm behind Google Docs). OT is the way we handle concurrency conflicts for any piece of data that is edited at the same time. In addition to real-time sync, OT allows us to provide a smoother UI since we can render updates on the client instantly without waiting for our backend to respond, while still guaranteeing consistency.

Lever makes extensive use of AWS, Docker, Node, Mongo, ElasticSearch, and Redis within our infrastructure. We use tools like Hubot to streamline deployments and Grafana to see what’s going on under the hood. In addition to automating all the things, we love to version them too! Our systems are all created using Terraform and Chef, working together to ensure consistency at all costs.

From my perspective you’re just justifying tether’s failure to keep its promises by saying it’s not as bad as banks, but also saying it’s not a bank when it’s pointed out how it utterly fails as a bank replacement; when it’s then pointed out that tether doesn’t serve any real purpose and is just a temporary store of value before it eventually collapses, you go back to the fractional reserve comparison.

It also feels like you’re jumping on a worn out bridge and telling me it hasn’t broke yet. Look! It only lost 30% of my money so far!
Some people just don't have it in them to say "no." I don't mean that they feel bad about turning a customer away. I mean that culturally, they simply don't say "no" and would rather just not show up than deliver a negative response.

I've experienced this in both Austria and Thailand. You'll get a lie before you get a "no." It's just a quirk of the culture, which is nice and all, but not helpful when you're at VIE looking for a ride that never shows.

I'm sorry, where in that quote is someone making the case that we shouldn't trade in Lithium because it's bad for Afghanis? Again, you're making a very specific claim about social justice here and seem to be justifying it with bland pronouncements about Afghanistan. That doesn't fly. Find me someone credible demanding divestment from Afghani Lithium or battery boycotts or something and we'll talk.

But no, I'm not going to just take the word of some rando HN poster that somehow Lithium is to be avoided. Like I said: citation needed.
Actually maybe it wouldn't... I guess underneath the VPN it still has to be listening.
> "The lingering uncertainty in the social control of risky technology is how to control the institutional forces that generate competition and scarcity and the powerful leaders who, in response, establish goals and allocate resources, using and abusing high-risk technical systems".

Seems to me that the relationship between Boeing and its various 737 MAX customers could be seen in a very similar light. Abusing high-risk technical systems as a tool to extract resources to cover for artificial scarcity in budgets or market expectations.

On the other hand, I don't think it's that uncommon for startup funding to come through at the last minute.

I later found out that a company I worked for had come within 2 months of running out of cash before their next round of funding came through. I'm glad they didn't shut down at that point to pay a "proper" severance.
I was working on an SPA around this time in an internal environment at a large bank. IE6 was the bane of my existence and the memory leaks in IE<8 made the application unusable after being open for around 5 hours. The early solution was to close the application at lunch, the longer term was portable firefox and later an exception for Firefox proper for those users specifically, while IE8 exploration for support was in progress.

Around the same time, there was a Chrome in IE plugin that was also suggested for other applications but never got approved.

People complain about the progression/changes in JS since around 2010 (node, commonjs, es5+). But nothing is so bad as dealing with the really old browsers. IE6 was decent at release but became a boat anchor to the industry. Even then, you couldn't pay me enough to ever support IE4.x + NN4.x ever again.

Wonderful story.

No and yes for your two questions respectively (although I'm not 100% sure about the "no" to the first question).

That's what I meant when I said that their interpretation of agile seems really pointless. It seems like it's more important to have the "agile" label stuck to themselves than whether whatever they think that labels stands for brings about any positive effects.

Healthy people who are normal weight generally don't need to worry about blood glucose, insulin, liver, or anything else on the molecular level.
> At the age of 45, almost no Tsimane had CAC in their arteries while 25% of Americans do.

> By the time they reach age 75, two-thirds of Tsimane are CAC-free compared with the overwhelming majority of Americans (80%) having signs of CAC.

The article doesn't mention obesity at all. 40% of Americans over 40 are obese[1]. Tsimane obesity rates
of adults (>20 years) are 5.6% for women and 1.6% for men[2].

Journalists love writing about dietary composition as if increasing your fish (or whatever) consumption is a magic bullet, but merely changing composition without losing weight is only a moderate improvement (maybe 30% fewer heart attacks, based on that retracted NEJM dietary study[3]).

In this case, the rest of the web put up the banners not because Google controlled the web, but because "if even Google, who has a huge monetary incentive to have their services be accessible to every web surfer [and puts a lot of work into achieving that], is willing to alienate IE6 users, IE6 must really be on the decline."

It's sort of the reverse of "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM": nobody ever got fired for refusing to implement an accessibility measure that not even IBM (or Google, in this case) bothers to implement. Unless you're in a very specific sector (in which case you know what your obligations are), your legal duties will always be a strict subset of those of $BIGCORP; so you can use $BIGCORP's shirking of a particular duty as a heuristic to determine whether you can safely shirk that same duty.

Yes and no. Yes, we're seeing gravity waves and radio waves and gamma rays and near infrared and millimeter wave and neutrinos, and maybe a few others that I forget. We're way past human senses, or any animals.

And yet I keep thinking of a deaf species that runs across Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. They can put an oscilloscope on the pressure waves in the air, so they can "see" what's going on. They can study the different frequencies of vibrations, and they can find patters in the time variation of those frequencies.

But they can't hear it. Hearing Beethoven's Ninth is really different from studying the frequencies with an oscilloscope. They could even hook up a brain scanner to a human listening to it, watch the brain start lighting up, and they still wouldn't understand.

We can gather data via all these different frequencies and modes. And yet I wonder how much we're not getting, not because we don't have the data, but because we don't have the right... something. (I can't even figure out what words to use for that something. The music analogy is the best I can do.)

To add to your point Okinawans once had the greatest life expectancy on Earth and the majority of their diet was carbs too.

Since the introduction of “western diet” post WW2 the majority of their diet is still carbs and yet they now show significant increase of Chronic disease (obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease and kidney disease) and lowered life expectancy.
> Nintendo doesn't write code, people do

This is fair, too. However, if you read about how these particular glitches worked, I find it extremely hard to believe that they would be implemented on purpose.

They're a consequence of a series of run-of-the-mill memory errors across the game's code. There would have needed to be a group of developers conspiring to make this possible... and for what? So a very dedicated player can spend hours painstakingly inputting a flappy bird game that will be lost when the system is turned off?

It is not established that he 'fled' to the UK, versus leaving with permission, and obviously if they really wanted to they could have stopped him leaving.

It's not clear what exactly the accusation is or what the injured party actually wants. But the odds are that this is a ruse.
Although fraud is no doubt rampant in Chinese industry, the penalties are... rather more severe. You had better make sure your scheme doesn't piss off the wrong people. The PRC's military and aerospace supply chains are probably in pretty good shape.
Good point. If I'm going to bother to call, the company should be bothered to answer.

I hate talking to people on the phone, but it's unavoidable. So if I call someone, it really takes a bit of mental effort. Plus, I don't work in a place where it's customary for people to just make personal phone calls in the office. Doing so would be very conspicuous and uncomfortable.

(Disclaimer: Currently sipping from an IBM coffee mug.)
The problem with this scheme is that fresh new plastic is incredibly cheap. A solvent based system like this basically has no chance of competing, even when getting the raw material for free. The end product won't be as good either thanks to all of the contamination.

I wonder if it would make sense to instead have dedicated areas in landfills where you put products that can't be reasonably recycled today in the hopes that in the future someone figures out a way to do it and can just tap into the neatly separated pile to get their raw materials? This is pretty speculative and optimistic. Plus it requires dump site operators to correctly guess which kind of materials are going to be useful in the future.

So, what's their average total caloric intake? Hmm... 2400-2700/day[1] which is not in the Lancet article[2], but I did find that in an American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reference[3]. It appears they get lots of exercise, which isn't surprising.

Okay, but what about the stuff behind that API? If OpenGL is the model, then is the expectation that audio device/driver vendors implement their own Soul backends? Will there be a reference implementation? Is that reference implementation going to be released under a free software license?
Collaborator to me, recently:

> the women admit to sleeping with him consensually before and after the alleged offenses, also housing him in their homes and hanging out socially

It follows that using your logic, a husband cannot rape his wife, no matter the circumstances, which is not only sexist but incredibly stupid logic

>the accusations were made after the alleged victims consulted with each other at the police station

Why does that matter?

>the initial prosecutor looking at the case dismissed it, but it was mysteriously re-opened by another prosecutor

This happens all the time

>once he left the country they raised an Interpol alert for his arrest, as if he was a terrorist

Interpol is not just for terrorists

>for years they refused to question him at the embassy, even though it was an easy way to move the 'investigation' forward
