It's basic cost-benefit analysis. I completely appreciate where you're coming from, but despite all your points many of the checks are still silly, banal and irrelevant - the benefit of waking someone up mid sleep cycle to ask them what they want to eat, or to get them to fill out a questionnaire, or to take a blood sample when they've only had one an hour or two before, is not worth the cost. You're giving a passionate response about how lucky we are to have that care anyway, but frankly you are vastly underestimating the devastating effects broken sleep has on the body. Most of the patients are on opiates anyway, so sleep is already at a premium (sedation =/= sleep).

Hospitals are understaffed, but that does not mean they have an excuse to endanger patient safety by ruining their best method of recovery; sleep. Many of my friends work in sleep science. Ask any of them what they think about the current ways we treat patient sleep, and they'll go on an hour long tirade about how absolutely ridiculous it is - how there are 100s of things that we could be doing differently, but don't because of antiquated science and work dogma, and there is almost no reason for close to 50% of times we wake patients up.

I highly recommend "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker. He puts a massive spotlight on the health implications that are cause by lack of sleep, especially for the elderly who make up the most hospital patients.
You can still depend on each other and have everything open source, open to scrutiny and audit.
> ICOs are like lottery tickets

Actually in most countries lotteries are pretty heavily regulated to ensure that they are indeed redistributing a share of ticket sales as winnings and are also fairly selecting winners. ICOs are like unregulated lotteries that might intend to keep the proceeds from all "investments" to themselves and/or unfairly distribute to insiders like the "influencers". Opportunity makes a thief.
And what do you think that will do tactically? It doesn't diminish the intrinsic geopolitical positions of both nation-states.

Both countries, honestly, should be "fine" without the same levels of trade we've had in the past. Per capita GDP is to the point where trade can be diminished whilst maintaining relatively stable growth. The problem is primarily, IMO, to do with world tensions & world peace.
One of the cited advantages is that the pressurized passenger tubes make the wing structure far more rigid to bending loads, because it has such a deep beam profile compared to a traditional wing. The observation of wing motion really reveals a disadvantage in traditional airplane structures.

The wing planform is passively stable without a tail, so there should be no issues related to certification as suggested upthread.

How to Choose a Technology Stack for Web App Development
I'm not GP, but that information is actually publicly available from the people involved, here's a basic summary if you're interested:

Gabe Newell invited Michael Abrash to work at Valve (they knew each other from back at Microsoft, and Abrash was even offered to be a co-founder of Valve originally but turned it down). Abrash was interested in wearable displays as a future platform. Valve missed mobile and even wants to reduce their dependence on Windows, so there's justification to research it and put together a team.
I wonder how they want to achieve this. It's not trivial to just re-build Windows or Linux from scratch, but from the article it sounds like that's exactly want they're planning to do.

Even with enough time, such a project requires highly skilled workers, and those are the ones that could also find good opportunities in the private sector (potentially outside China) with likely better compensation and less pressure. So I doubt they will find the best people for this job.
Or we were too relaxed during the 2nd phase, until Russia annexed Crimea, Iran kept sponsoring their terrorist organisations, China started building military bases in the South China Sea to intimidate its neighbours and it's general secretary went on to hint at annexing Tawian by force. I'm not surprised that the current US administration is taking action against China. This should have started in 2014.
Trade will continue as before between all actors. What's going on is that great powers are wary of sourcing smart things that can be turned off or reprogrammed remotely (think OTA updates) from other great powers. So trade in these smart things is shakier. It was good before when we ignored the issue!

As more products become smart things, this will impact trade somewhat.

For the smaller countries, there's no change from the atomic era: they'll source their smart thing from their protector power. There's a lot of friction getting there though, as many of them defected and sourced from a cheaper alternative.
They'll bang it out in a week without a hitch. Just like every sizable migration.
I'm grudgingly accepting that cheap surveillance opportunities will always be taken. A population that learns opsec from the cradle seems more likely to flourish in this environment than one in denial or haplessly assuming benign intent.

So he has a money making plattform now, but maybe he should have focused more on making good games, that make people happy, to stay happy himself?
> Yes, it wasn't legal.

Legal or illegal according to the laws in what jurisdiction? As international users, we obviously benefit from decisively reining in any American attempt at extraterritorial expansion. That is why, for example, we support the interdiction of American warships in the Black Sea (Russia) and the South Chinese Sea (China). I am waiting for the good news that either of these countries has finally sunk one of these vessels. That will be party time!
> I'd have hoped this kind of thing would have been driven by sensible legislation across the entire industry

I imagine you’ve noticed, but in the real world, Congress is not capable of writing sensible tech legislation. So we may get legislation, but if we do, it won’t be sensible.

So as much as I would also appreciate some sensible tech regulations (the endless adhesion contracts on websites and apps really need to be reigned in), I’m hoping congress stays away from this.

These are the guys behind DMCA, CFAA, and other great hits. If anyone could screw this up, it would be them.

Everyone knows there is nothing you can do about it.
Games give you a nice domain to think about that you get very involved in. I think they are a very good starting point for business-oriented programmers. You are very invested in the "world" and stuff that doesn't work as you want is painful. If it's painful enough you solve the problem via programming.

That's pretty much exactly how good and sustainable software business in the B2B world tend to start. As a HS student it's not very likely that you know much about the healthcare, legal or whatever domain but it is very likely that you "live" in some game domain.

I think there's some potential in cultivating this spirit and moving on to real world problems. Maybe something as silly as "talk to your family, what jobs do people have, are there painpoints you can identify, how would you solve them".

The good thing about games is that there's no bureaucracy involved and feedback loops are fast. It can be frustrating if you write an automation script that makes a task someone solves by doing manual steps (Excel entry etc.) easier and then not have it rolled out or having to wait half a year to get a report if it improved things etc.
French here, I never realized it but there are at least 3 different forms depending on who does it and when:

Present:
Je vais, tu vas, il va, nous allons, vous allez, ils vont

Future: j'irai, tu iras, il ira, nous irons, vous irez, ils iront

Same goes for être (to be):

Present:
Je suis, tu es, il est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils sont

Future:
Je serai, tu sera, il sera, nous serons, vous serez, ils seront

Simple past:
Je fus, tu fus, il fut, nous fûmes, vous fûtes, ils furent
(No one uses simple past, but here it is)

Subordinate (?):
Que je sois, que tu sois, qu'il soit, que nous soyons, que vous soyez, qu'ils soient

I guess it's the same in pretty much every language, especially for those 2 common verbs, there are irregular forms everywhere.
Personally I think if you're looking to attract developers with strong potential you're off by a factor of approx. 2 - even for fresh developers with no experience. Perhaps I'm not accounting properly for the added value of flexible hours and no commute, as these have been standard for me recently.

I do agree with what you've said, but I don't agree with the conclusion, so I want to provide a counterpoint and I hope I don't come across as unconstructive in doing so.

Just because doctors and nurses have a desire to help, doesn't mean that anything they do is therefore the right thing to do. Like you said, we know that sleep is critical to healing so doesn't that go against nurses and doctors having a desire to prevent harm? I would think that something preventing healing or causing emotional stress is de-facto harm.

Yes, hospitals can be understaffed and underfunded, but that's hardly an excuse when we know some of their practises can cause harm. You wouldn't let a nurse do something harmful and let them say "Sorry we don't have the budget". We can sit here and say that yes, here's the reason but that doesn't actually mean that's what they ought to be doing.

There seems to be quite a lot of bias for doctors and nurses because they do work that is seen as very important and good. While that is true, it can often cloud judgement when deciding what we ought to do in a prescriptive medical sense. There's been many occassions where doctors or nurses were holding back advancement of their own field because they're just people and like all people they have their own faults and their own bias. I don't say this to say that doctors are bad, or cause harm, but rather that some are bad and some do cause harm, even if they're trying their best to stop you dying.
I wonder this me too :-)

Their pricing page reads: "world-class technical support to all of our customers—around the clock" (https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/#Included_services ) b.t.w. which doesn't seem totally accurate to me, with the 12h and 29h response times in this account banned case.

I was part of a big company graduate-recruitment-program so I spent my summers interning with them. Luckily I landed in a team they called 'FastTrack' and that was where these contractors were. One of my war stories from that time: https://williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com/post/17282439831/an-e...

When I went back to uni, I set up my contracting company and continued to work for them, but now as a contractor. I even managed to get on their 'preferred supplier' list, which was a really major coup. Anyway, it paid for uni.
The interesting part for me about the current form is that it makes me think what should be the state on the rest of the ecosystem in case an error happens. That extra lines, as for experience, pays off quite fast.

This form puts to the background that though, and I fear I feel tempted to put try everywhere.
I wouldn't have said it's irony, it's a response to the US banning Huawei and the other shots fired in Trump's war on global trade.
They point out that automatically terminating compute is a bad idea that they will no longer be doing in most cases.

"Services that result in the power down of resources will no longer automatically take action on any account, regardless of lack of payment history, for accounts that were engaged more than 90 days prior. These cases will be escalated for manual review"
If it's inside your business you can use subdomains like site1.domain.com and site2.domain.com and set the cookie domain attribute to domain.com and you will not have a problem because the cookie will be visible among all the sites of your domain.

Most businesses and employees have some ethical limits whether they’re aware of it or not
One of the problems is the credits initiative for startups (I'm assuming that's how this customer ended up running on credits.)

Companies have to grow to quite a big size before they consider offering various discounts and programs. By that time, the systems and processes are plentiful in number, complexity, and interaction. Management decides to implement a startup credits program and because it's not an instant money maker, it doesn't get treated carefully enough and causes various edge cases for the program's users (and hopefully none for the standard type of user).

In DO's case, startups should be vetted before being gifted credits and therefore excluded from the crypto checks and shutdown potential.

Sometimes it ends up in the customer's favor:

For an example of how poorly one-off programs can end up being implemented, my company is receiving special consideration from Stripe. No fees are being charged at the moment. Well, a customer asked for a refund. I issued the refund. Stripe paid out $25 to the bank account but took back only $23 for the refund because the code that does refunds doesn't know about the fee exemption. Good guy me emailed them about their bug but not much came of it.

US will get its head bitten off. China still does business with the rest of the planet. Trump's "us or them" at some point will lead the 'free world' to say a royal "screw you, we go with them".

I disagree with the way that Trump administration is handling things. Making more noise to cover the previously-made-noise is a downward spiral/slippery slope, and he's on it.

China (aka Chinese People) will not suffer, because they will just not. They won't feel the 'pain' of losing 20% of their income if that happens. People living in the USA on the other hand, they will feel a 20% drop much harder. It is a sprint for Trump administration, but a marathon for Xi's and Vlad's administration. I fear that we haven't seen the worse part yet.

From reading the article it seems it won't be a linux distribution. I also wonder if this will hit the consumer market or if it will just be a replacement for within the military.

Either way it will be interesting to see if they succeed in making it more secure considering that they don't have technical debt to worry about.

Except self-sufficiency in critical industries like food and fuel ARE prime examples of things that any sane country fights tooth and nail for even today. The US has been pushing for increased rice exports to South Korea and Japan for decades now, but they've always pushed back successfully with the argument that protecting their agricultural industry is a matter of national security. This is from two countries that literally depend on the US for their military defense, and are among the closest allies the US could ever hope to have.
All of your points except 1. seem predicated on the notion that you'd want to stay in the USA after your studies. What if you don't?

For most normal people it doesn’t matter who initiated it. Neither of the 2 parties have much credibility. Between the NSA hacking revelations and the way China cracks down on its own people it doesn’t feel like anyone would take either side from a moral standpoint.

Oh, states will take sides out of interest: interest to make money, to get protection, to not become enemy via the “with me or against me ideology”. But not for any moral reason.
Valve has an almost 2-decade head start. I’m sure Epic will continue to improve their store/platform at a fair pace.
To get to the next level and scale of bigger programs, you need to leverage the tons of work information visualization researchers have done.

The arrogance of nurses and physicians in constantly waking patients up, completely unaware and uncaring of the health detriment that comes with loss of sleep, is inexcusable. While some people can go back to sleep after being awakened, there are many of us who have real difficulty getting back to sleep, and sometimes it doesn't happen at all.
