Thanks. Your addition to the concept really is really helpful.
If anything, that's the thing I hate most about Twitter. A journalist who wants to write a story with a particular angle can easily find tons of supporting viewpoints on Twitter, and usually at least a few of these are somewhat clever or snarky.

So the journalist writes the article and then uses these examples from Twitter to show that "the masses" agree, or are equally outraged as the author.

Since when do we start giving every rando who can shout something from Twitter equal weight?
> Plus, if you're traveling, you really don't want to put hotels or rental cars on a debit card - they put a huge hold on your balance.

Isn't any hold equally large on a credit card? I've never noticed any differences in the size of holds between credit and debit (Finnish VISA cards).
I don’t see how “Makes you think, doesn't it?” would imply anything more than the comment it was in response to.
It depends on who is judging. I recall that you were unemployed for quite a long time because nothing was up to your standard. This suggests that your impression of "industry standards" is inaccurate, at least for someone of your capability.
My issue isn't that they no longer have political cartoons, it's why they made the decision to remove them. And to be fair, we don't know yet. I haven't found an official statement from the NYT on this; I've only seen tweets and this guy's piece on it.
> buying a big screen TV on credit.

I think it's fine as long as it's always kept within reason.

If I have a disposable income of $500/month, and I want a $1,500 TV, I might just put that on the credit card. If I have a 20% APR on my card and pay it off in three months, I only pay a little over $50 in interest (Note for someone else that decides to check the math: Remember that many cards have a 30-day grace period on purchases before they start collecting interest). I might think it's worth it to pay an extra $50 to get that $1,500 TV now rather than 3 months from now. Maybe it's actually a $2,500 TV and it's on sale for this week only. Better yet, maybe the store is offering 0% financing for 12/18/x months, which is far longer than it'll take me to pay it off anyways.

Of course, the "within reason" part is what kills people. If my disposable income is under $100/month, then purchasing a $1,500 TV on credit is probably a bad idea. Heck, even saving for a $1,500 TV is probably a bad idea.
There are certain transactions that don’t begin and end with the payment of the cost of the service. When renting an apartment, you are able to cause far more damage to the apartment than the rent you pay, hence the apartment owner has an incentive to also consider what kind of person they are renting an apartment to.

A credit check serves as a proxy for someone who cares about their future reputation and hence is less likely to cause damage to an apartment, and if they do, then they will pay for it. Similar reasoning applies to other rental businesses such as hotels, cars, tools, equipment, etc.
> In total, we observed NEK1 risk variants in nearly 3% of ALS cases.

This isn't surprising, as the days of single-locus disease discoveries are largely behind us, but this is just one small factor among many. It can hint at functional things, but mostly it's another landmark for risk-screening.

> NEK1 has been linked to several cellular functions, including cilia formation, DNA-damage response, microtubule stability, neuronal morphology and axonal polarity. Our results provide new and important insights into ALS etiopathogenesis and genetic etiology.

This is basically a grab-bag. I wouldn't expect any kind of applied research based on this for another grant cycle or two.
Except a large portion of society thinks seat belt and hard hat laws are bullshit and shouldn't even be legal to enforce. Hazardous materials handling is completely different though.
I have wondered the same thing - Netflix is an obvious outlier among the Big 5, and Microsoft an equally obvious omission. Apparently the "FAANG" idea is a Wall Street thing, a grouping based on financial rather than technical impact.
Any mobile device will ping central servers for notifications, update information, ntp, etc etc. Apple or google or at&t will of course always have your current IP address and be able to provide it to police if served a search warrant. In what way is the “find my” service expanding that?
Mocking white men/Christianity doesn't create huge uproar? Hasn't there been a huge uproar about a "War on Christmas" for years where people get mad when baristas say "happy holidays"? Hard to believe that something so innocuous could generate Christian outrage but mocking Christianity couldn't.
Not AWS console. Amazon.com.

The console is not the way Amazon prefers to communicate with AWS customers.

Any customer with a level of respectable scale will use the API for everything.

So they don’t really care about polishing the console.

Amazon.com, on the other hand is obviously different.

"Straightforward" extrapolation is the worst! Reminds me of the RIAA damages numbers often quoted in courts

"Well, it was a $2 mp3, and ~100M copies were downloaded, that's $2 * 100M = $200M in lost revenue/damages!!"

As if 1 download = 1 guaranteed lost sale. On the contrary sometimes 1 download = 1 future sale where there was none before!

By that logic the easiest way to make a million is just to download (or copy) a $1 mp3 1M times - congrats, you now own $1M in assets!
Can someone explain how the cartoon is antisemetic? Calling it such doesn't make it so. If I blend Putin into a Cassowary crossed with a Peacock would it not be apropos? Cartoons are supposed to be edgy and uncomfortable.

It looks like like the NYT succumbed to the mob whipped up by the Trump administration, it meerly doesn't want the criticism.
We don't have that. October 2018:

>On Thursday, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) upheld her 2011 conviction for “disparagement of religious precepts,” a crime in Austria. The facts of what E.S. did are not in dispute. She held “seminars” in which she presented her view that Muhammad was indeed a child molester. Dominant Islamic traditions hold that Muhammad’s third wife, Aisha, was 6 at the time of their marriage and 9 at its consummation. Muhammad was in his early 50s. The Austrian woman repeated these claims, and the Austrian court ruled that she had to pay 480 euros or spend 60 days in the slammer. The ECHR ruled that Austria had not violated her rights.

Muhammad fucked a 9 year old according to the Quran, which makes him a child molester under any kind of reasonable understanding--pointing that out means you get fined. Now, granted, Europe does not have freedom of speech, but this shows the way the things are moving.
>>A political cartoon hasn't made me laugh or think deeply in years.

This probably says more about you than about political cartoons as a medium.

Is it possible that you have become so used to over-the-top memes and shallow animated shows with instant-gratification "satire" that you have lost the ability (and/or patience) to pause and ponder the subtler, many-layered messages underneath traditional cartoons?
For a number of reasons, I don't think you're a real person. I think you have an agenda. I think you're here to provide artificial tone and voice to a conversation on The Internet, in an insubstantive matter.

If drawings and charicatures accompanied by text captions and word baloons in print media haven't appealed to your tastes in some time, it is less the fault of the medium, and more likely founded in massive social and cultural shifts fomented by the potent emerging technologies currently changing the world.
The New York Times is no longer the steady unbias pillar it once was. They hire fresh out SJW types to do their writing and it shows. Once I finally came to that realization, I stopped taking them seriously, but I feel others have not quite reached that epiphany yet. Keep in mind they almost went bankrupt if it were not for Carlos Slim bailing them out. Then you saw a bunch of praise pieces about Slim, and you realize much of the old guard is gone. That should have been the first red flag. The NYT lives off its names legacy reputations alone, but all the quality journalism is gone, with just refined legacy veneer wrapped around very questionable bias premises for most stories.
You could mirror your blog posts to a decentralized network like Secure Scuttlebutt, assuming you have a few friends who would be willing and able to follow your feed and thus mirror your content. Or it might be simpler to just email out a copy of each blog post to a little mailing list of people who care about you. Let them know that you'd like your legacy to remain public and they can probably coordinate among themselves to set up a public archive when the time comes.
Huh, it's as if the NYT has a narrative they wish to push, and will use lazy/questionable journalism to do it...

Makes ya wonder what other topics they're doing this with...

> The issue now is that the puritanical outrage stretches past the pulpit and Letters to the Editor and directly into your notifications,

I think many people have realized that they can control the discourse by pretending to be offended. And it is not easy to figure out if someone is genuinely distraught at seeing a cartoon like that (or anything really) or they are just claiming they are.
I kind of think you've misunderstood something. This person said "You will be hacked". A guaranteed absolute. If that were the case then why bother protecting anything?

His wording was misleading. Not his intentions. Nobody is in disagreement that security is very important.
It’s the same, but people tend to pay large bills using bank accounts (in the US, landlords, mortgage issuers, taxes for government, insurance, utilities, tuition, etc typically don’t accept credit cards for payment.)

So you don’t want to give someone access to your bank account unless you absolutely have to, since they can “authorize” or “hold” funds in your account which can cause other expenses to not get paid.
Yup, media outlets like the NYT did this to themselves really.

At some point they decided that a story could be manufactured from a few outraged individuals, even if those sources were random or completely unknown users. Bam...there's your instant moral outrage. It didn't matter that their story might be a grossly inaccurate sampling of readers or have little factual basis, the only thing that mattered was that suddenly a mob formed around them, instantly amplifying their message.

I suppose this has done wonders for those sites looking to increase ad revenue, but I wonder what the actual damage is to political discourse in this country.
Is this the equivalent of a portal and multiple “portlets” ?
The main SPA is just a shell that holds everything together but the individual portlets build their own SPA ui backed by their own one or more services . Perhaps this gives the “portlets” spa owners to build and release on their own.
Is there any React framework which lets you design in this manner ?
WMD comes to mind.
I don't have _much_ experience with this but when I worked for a UK based e-commerce SaaS provider (which was focused on image, so, ymmv) we completely buried a contractor for using sub-contractors which didn't follow our data security standards (which the contractor knew about).

a breach wasn't found, but that contracting company eventually became bankrupt under the weight of our negative press and litigation. I know that this is essentially bullying but it was used as an example to other contractors who might try something like that.

Incidentally the SaaS provider no longer exists, gobbled up by netsuite (which was, itself, acquired by Oracle).

1. Assuming you're correct (which is certainly up for debate), what do we do for the next 50 years? Suffer?

2. Service jobs will always exist. Restaurants, bars, shops, museums, schools, etc. need people present to make them work. Even in cases where people aren't strictly required, people will still want people around. People will always need stuff that will need to be delivered to wherever they are. People also don't want to just stay in their homes all day; transit demand is not solely shaped by work commutes.

3. You draw the line in one place, other people draw it in others. Such is life.

4. There are quite a few cities in the world that will disagree with you, and be right.

5. We need people who will actually cooperate for the greater good. In the US that seems to be a rarity, as our culture is centered around individualism and competition, unlike many other places in the world. If we leave it up to a bunch of local governments cooperating we... oh, right, end up in the exact situation we're in now.

(I agree with you in principle on #5, but a solution that has as a prerequisite, "change the deep-seated culture of millions of people over a relatively short period of time", isn't something I see as doable.)
Don't you remember how Equifax was hacked into and their stock price briefly dropped? Then they were burdened with all those email addresses people entered to check their credit... And they had to pay the ultimate price by spamming those addresses constantly with advertisements, and that's not cheap!
Something that many people are missing in this, and that I know I missed the first time around, is that UTC is the company with majority stake in this merger.

The main reason this is relevant from my perspective is that Rockwell Collins, a major employer in Cedar Rapids, Iowa got bought out by UTC a year or so ago, and the clip on the radio about the merger this morning suggested the deal went the other way and the new Collins Aerospace was likely to be renamed into something else. But Collins Aerospace is one of the four main divisions of the proposed new company.

I said that the market might be irrational, not that it might be unfair.

"Irrational" is values that are not based on a reasonable interpretation of the company's financial state and reasonably forseeable future. This is what I think is meant by the saying "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

"Unfair" means corrupt, rigged, or otherwise dishonest. I wasn't suggesting that. But like you, I'd love to see the results if someone can measure it...
While we study and mine cinema for launching off points - we do so knowing why we do so. The threads are timeless, but the execution was a thing of the time, much like HL.

Let's compare Hughes to Valve for some reason.

Hughes released at least 11 films - none of which were acquired. If he had only Scarface under his belt, he would be just another in a long line of shameful one hit wonders--those who accidentally stumble upon a hit without the skills to back it up--who consequently are unable to create anything else of substance.

It's been fifteen years, everything post-orangebox was acquired.
>But if they're referring to the ambience as "spirituality", I cannot take them seriously.

I dunno, the Catholic church is doing just fine in terms of revenues and real estate assets, and that's just one example. Then again, religious organizations get preferable tax treatment...maybe WeWork will eventually pivot to religion down the road.
Do you feel bad about taking a tax deduction? As long as you play by the rules, your intelligence should be rewarded.
"But her emails!"

They're kind of maddening in some ways. They certainly do crap like that, but also still do some occasional really good investigative reporting.

> I don't know that you can attribute bad eating habits to the recommendations of public health organisations.

Americans have actually followed the recommendations of the USDA for years. They replaced saturated fat with “heart healthy” seed oils, and they diligently consumed low fat diets.

Keep in mind that official recommendations will affect what foods are available for sale too.

> My understanding is that processed foods and sugary drinks are consumed in great numbers, but that is certainly not in accordance with the recommendation of any public health organisations that I know of.

In the United States nutrition labels have a maximum daily amount of most nutrients, except sugar. The official line has been that saturated fat causes heart disease, and that replacing fat in packaged goods with sugar was ok. This is why we have candy in the United States proudly labeling itself as a “fat free food”, and we used to have marketing campaigns touting the weight loss benefit of sugar.

This is finally starting to turn around, but the public health agencies have been laggards when it comes to the realization of how bad sugar is, not at the forefront.

And that’s not even getting into the whole bailiwick about how they process foods, which has changed in accordance with public health recommendations. They used to at least use natural fats in the few processed foods we used to eat, such as lard, but all of those were changed years ago to seed oils that were nominally less bad.

> Also, as far as I know, public vaccination programmes have greatly reduced, and almost eliminated many diseases like measles, tetanus and typhoid, not just in the US but the world over, although of course measles is making a comeback.

As I clearly stated, all public health programs should be judged by their outcomes, and the results of public vaccination have been an unqualified success.

But just because the official recommendations on vaccinations have worked, it doesn’t follow that the official recommendations on diet will too.

> Are you perhaps drawing a conclusion about public health bodies in western countries in general, from an experience with health services in the US?

Yes, that’s a fair criticism.

> I live in the UK and I wouldn't say that the national health service (the NHS) has collapsed.

That’s not what I said. I said that our health has collapsed, i.e. we’re fat and sick.
Definitely possible. However, not on the data set of size 1. If we get a study with sufficient statistical power and proper controls, sure, I am ready to believe it when I see it. Several studies, of course, would be better, since retraction and non-confirmation numbers are high enough now so that a single study does not constitute a definite proof, but it would certainly be a serious support to the idea.
I'm not American (maybe better so?) but this piece sounds a lot like the author is anti-google.

Oracle is unpopular, so let's add the noodle shop to compensate. You won't like EU fines, so we say that USA should fine before. Epic photo of the noodles guy. Very nice photo of Yelp people, who wouldn't like to work there?

To be honest, I believe that Google and friends are very dangerous right now. But with all HN limitations, any discussions here is light years deeper than this fluff.

If your large dataset leads to a single huge memory allocation, the kernel will fail the allocation even though overcommit is enabled. Early versions of libvpx had a similar issue, where it allocated a huge amount of memory at once (actually, told the dynamic linker to do so) which failed on low-memory machines (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=600663 "libvpx.so.0 fails to load on low-memory machines due to ridiculously oversized .bss").

I don't understand the meaning of nondeterminism in this context. Definition of a nondeterministic language from the linked wiki:

What are the significant operations in this language that cannot always be expected to produce the same result?
I had the same experience! Sophomore EE (signals) internship at Raytheon. While I had the same reaction as you at the time, my thinking has evolved a bit. I can see why a subset of people enjoy working there. The problems are difficult, the work is 'meaningful' (many of my coworkers had family in the military), and the pace is deliberate. I met 60 year-old guys writing firmware for fighter jets and they loved it. The culture is the exact opposite of "move fast and break things" - you may write 10 lines of code a week, but those are some exceedingly important lines.

I disagree, his wording was pretty spot on. Don't collect personal data - it will be hacked. At many of the businesses I've worked at I've made an effort to lower our PII data blob purely to reduce liability for when it was compromised. If you can see some information, a hacker eventually will.

Granted, lowering liability is apparently something I shouldn't worry about since no one is ever held to account for breaches these days.
You could put them in the Bitcoin blockchain. That’ll last as long as people are greedy, so probably a long time. Whether people will know they are there in the future I don’t know.
That has more with W's threats to cut off press room access to anyone who wouldn't stick to the patriotic script they wanted everyone to follow.

I mean, the numbers speak for themselves. If the median income is $51k, then yes, that is indeed a fact.

Unless half of the population plus one person makes exactly $51k (with everyone else above), since... well... that's how medians work.
The issue in question isn't so much the breach, but the misuse of data by the subcontractor. I've personally witnessed people be fired for this, and know of lawsuits that exist for this specifically, and that's just at the company I work for...
