If there were a real change in driving habits that the providers could trace to the presence of lead in gasoline, don't you think they would have taken it out?

It seems to me that Uber's counter argument would be that they aren't obligated to offer a contract to all contractors equally. They would further argue that Uber's product is availability of drivers vs the rides themselves (remember they are only the middle men) and that they provide preference (in a binary manner) to contractors who allow them to provide consistent availability.
GDPR applies to location, not citizenship. You do not need to ascertain or assume the citizenship of people on your website, only if they're located in the Union. If a German citizen is browsing a US website from a computer in Kentucky, EU law does not apply. See GDPR Article 3 (1), Article 3 (2), and Recital 14.

Speaking as someone who builds mission critical software, licensing is not the answer to this problem. Occupational licensing only serves to raise barriers to entry and crowd out competition without raising quality. To put my opinion bluntly, Bernie Madoff had a license.

The things you should do to prevent catastrophic failure:

- Reduce your attack surface as much as possible.

- Automate your infrastructure, human input should be nonexistent

- Write a lot of automated tests

- Take the time to learn attack methods and actively try to break your own systems

- Have an external firm that will try to break your systems

- Add additional redundancy for hot spots in codebase

- Code reviews are mandatory and you should follow an internal style guide.

- Adopt a maintenance first culture, it should take less than 48 hours for you to be on the most recent version of all your dependencies. Bug fixes are your #1 priority.

- Educate your customers on what your potential failure conditions are, your recovery point objectives, and your recovery time objectives.

- If you do have a failure, fail loudly in a way that a customer can understand, report the failure and hopefully have a backup plan that users know and can run through.

- Customer support is a responsibility of the engineering department.

- Learn from others and contribute back with your tooling.

You can write mission critical code in any language. (Some are definitely better than others) You can't manage a mission critical application without investing in great operations.

I'm glad to see this article articulate this. If you were thinking about something political, say Climate Change, and posted that, then you'd suddenly find yourself arguing basic facts with someone who dropped out of your highschool that you never got around to defriending.

I don't really take my comment to be that political. More about corporate control of the power structures. Is there something incorrect about my comment? Shouldn't root cause be discussed when talking about shortcomings? I do believe their emotional story telling is an intentional weakening to avoid hard hitting true journalism that challenges power structures.

Edit: ironic that the original comment was about NPR being too emotional and yet a discussion about factual details is emotionally down voted as "political".

GDPR does not apply to “European Citizens.” It applies to people in the EU.

Short answer: this applies to people in the EU, citizenship is irrelevant. The law is geographic, not based on passport.

> addresses the complexities of a modern system in the simplest fashion but no simpler

I have a serious contention with the statement that systemd is the simplest possible solution for this problem. Especially since it involves not only service management, but user logins, a data bus, logging management, file system mounting, initd, and a host of other things.

Are all of those pieces necessary? Arguably yes. But not all in one system(d).

> The big boost in program readability is following a style guide with the rules for naming, indentation, commenting, and other important features, plus automated or manual style reviews.

I completely agree. I just wondered if there has been done any research where programmers are presented with some code they've never seen before and then the time is measured until they have understood the code (e.g. can correctly answer some test questions regarding the function of the code). In such a scenario one could try to find a "best" style guide, i.e. a style guide where most programmers understand new code the quickest. Have you ever heard of such research?
No, it is still funded from listeners and corporate interests.
And this is why _we are forced_ (speaking for myself and a few more) to use PrivacyBadger (on which I keep adding domains), NoScript, AdblockPlus, ublock, and others.

It is a democracy. The many will win if they want to. I understand the unethical part of 'consuming content for free' which costs them $. But there they picked to go to the extreme end of loading a simple piece of news with 10+ trackers.

On TC I get 14 hits on my PrivacyBadger, 9 hits on NoScript, and 2 hits on ABP. If one day that '25 violations' go down to 2-3, I will consider letting them go with it.
> Who goes around implicitly trusting central power. In any aspect of their lives.

It's required for the government to provide a "social safety net" and more broadly for the Progressive vision of society. That includes Progressive-era reforms in education and retirement, as well as Progressive inspired reforms in healthcare and welfare, esp. the Great Society.

These reforms are predicated on the notion of a government agency collecting statistical data and reviewing comments from the public to determine policy that provides baseline services and acts as a buffer to economic variance.

Note also "implicit" trust. Trust is transitive: you might trust in some service the government provides without necessarily understanding that the service relies on some centralized power. Thus you might not explicitly trust a central authority, but because you rely on the services it provides you may be implicitly trusting it.
Wow, I totally kept reading this headline as: "The Rare Home-Improvement Show That's Spotlights killed Workers".

The title is misleading. The article claims that drugs manufactured outside the US for sale inside are not held to the same standards as those made in the US. This has rather little to do with their status as generics.

demijohn are a bottle in a wicker wrapping. Once you get to large glass bottles like this breakage is real issue so it makes sense to wrap them so they can be moved with less chance of breakage. Note that if you do build one of these, be VERY careful moving them as they can break with a small slip and the large pieces of glass can easily cut tendons, leading to lots of long term issues.
>>It sounds like you'd often still have to set up some repeaters and such.

Absolutely correct. Looks like the police acknowledged the difficulty but are still rightfully worried:

>>Even though Wi-Fi will not travel as far as some cellphone signals, the police said that a careful construction of routers and amplifiers can extend the range as far as one kilometer. Which, while it may be news to people that deal with dead spots in their own house, is alarming to security forces trying to secure large areas full of people.
IIRC you are explicitly not allowed to deny service if someone doesn't agree to tracking/targetting, so I'm not sure how that would fly.
I believe there's probably some differences - especially in packaging. Some medications are different between generics or between generics and name brand in bioavailability. The title of the article isn't backed up by the content though in this case.
I wouldn't be so convinced that passengers are willing to pay these surge prices to go home. Sure, the first time a passenger encounters this artificial surge, they're already planning on taking uber/lyft home so they'll pay it because they probably don't have another option immediately available. But the next time a passenger arrives at DCA (could be a month or two), they might remember uber/lyft is expensive when they land so they would have arranged a different option to leave the airport. Consumer reaction to prices changes may not always be immediate. These drivers are operating in their own interest in the short term but who knows if they are in the long term.

I am/was on a generic version of Proscar (prostate drug and it's also a higher dosage of Propecia-a hair loss drug) called finasteride. From 2006 up to I think 2015 or so, TEVA was the brand of generic I was under and it worked great. At some point the drug stopped working. I thought maybe I built up a tolerance or something.

I remember one day I was standing in the kitchen pissed off that my meds weren't working anymore and looking at my prescription bottle when I noticed it was no longer from TEVA, it was from a company called Aurobindo; the drug was manufactured in India. I immediately called the pharmacy and told them I want to switch. I did some research and found one that is manufactured in the US by Accord pharma. Accord I believe is still HQ out of India, but the drug is made here in the US at least. Fast forward about 6 months, and things are finally returning back to normal - the meds were working! At that point I filed a complaint with the FDA against Aurobindo. Never heard back, but I tell everyone I know to avoid using Aurobindo drugs.

I don't know, I feel like outsourcing the manufacturing of drugs - especially those with a life or death impact - is a mistake.

Agreed, I very much like systemd. The documentation could be a bit better (though I haven't looked at it much in the last year), but overall it's a good improvement.

I first started using systemd with Arch before it got pulled into Ubuntu. It definitely took a little bit to get used to, but once you understand how to write services instead of cron jobs, it's way more betterer.

Ironically, if we did go full nuclear, the oceans probably wouldn't have risen, saving us from a cracking nuclear dome and an untold number of other hassles.

Sure, nuclear power is not 100% safe, but its "worst case" pales in comparison to fossil fuel's "guaranteed outcome by 2100."

I'm OK with building, say, solar instead of nuclear. I'm definitely NOT OK with keeping fossil fuel where nuclear is available, while paying a lip service saying "Oh don't worry, in 30 years maybe we will switch to renewables."
I prefer to use SQL because it handles the set definition very cleanly. It is basically the "where" clause of a query. And it's a good middle ground where programmers and business analysts can speak the same language to describe a dataset.

Once the set is defined, the programming language of choice can be used for the action. It could also be SQL, or since we use Spark for a lot of our compute it could be Scala, Python, or Java.

I've been in recent discussions about building a new DSL for this, but I haven't been convinced why we need a new DSL when SQL is already a widely supported DSL.
Having things stamped and signed on fancy paper is absolutely relevant. As the article describes, not having that fancy paper enables the government to brazenly lie, saying forced tech transfers are being stopped when they're actually being ramped up.

NPR is generally vacuous. Some Public Radio shows do/did have in depth coverage (e.g. Diane Rehm show, but she is now retired). The fact is many people like it at that level...they want the human story and the gist. They do not want a nuanced and detailed understanding of geopolitical and cultural events, etc. For that, I've moved on to other sources...but these tend to be specialized policy blogs.

I read ChinaRX recently, and it included a lot of similar concerns. But it emphasized that a lot of the components and active ingredients are produced in China, and some American companies are not always very vigilant or thorough in checking the purity or quality of their suppliers. So even if a pill is made in America, it could still be at risk as much as a foreign pill.

The book kind of veered off in parts to being a little bit fear-mongery/off topic--a large portion of it was rehash of a Planet Money chicken tax podcast, and then another large block was focused on container ships-- though so I wouldn't really recommend it.

“The generic is the same thing, just cheaper” is taken as gospel. If it turns out that’s not the case... that’s it, full stop.

I’m all for a lack of regulation, but once the FDA says it’s clear for anyone to make it they still have to check to make sure that’s what they’re making.

Edit: and this is, of course, assuming that any of this is true.
