How many of Bird's other moves seem to be driven by profit? They seem to be at a point where they're fighting to still exist in a year or two. Given that, they'll want to take some big risks to give themselves as much of a chance as possible.
Be careful. I work for such a bank, and even secure traffic is MITM’d when possible. There are data loss controls in place to analyze outbound traffic for things like source code.

Just because you’ve circumvented IT’s blocks doesn’t mean you won’t land yourself in hot water.
Premature Optimization (2015)
Consider that if I know your address, I can order drugs delivered to you. Then you take the sting. I would think that this factor and the desire to catch the sellers more than the buyers motivates law enforcement to focus on disrupting the chain and tracking down sellers more than pursuing all but the highest volume buyers.
that's nuts. ... do we just need more nuclei to be immune to cancer or is that a stupid question?
Theoretically, a smart enough GraphQL front-end could recognize multiple filters and do some or all of the filtering client-side, or if impossible, request both from the server. The idea that your client can declare what data it needs rather than leaving it up to the server is the best part of GraphQL, the thing that simplified it the most. But it’s hard to do well, right now. It’s much easier to use code-gen directly to have client and server share knowledge of what’s needed. HTTP2 push adds an interesting twist though, when your GraphQL response could actually trigger additional client code and resources to be sent. Of course this can be done without GraphQL, but you’d still need a server that’s aware of what data the client will use and how. For simple APIs or APIs with many clients that behave the same way, GraphQL is overkill. But even so it’s an interesting alternative to simple REST and simple state management, and unlike Redux, you can trigger multiple events at the same time which can be beneficial if processing their state changes at the same time would lead to a more efficient update. (The Redux alternative is to add some kind of wrapper event, or an event for each combination of events...)
I don't think the folks here dislike spreadsheets for working with data. I think the opposition is against spreadsheets being used to make mission critical but very brittle applications.

Agree, it's easier for the company to have a blanket policy. And most companies will do that because, ain't nobody got time for [being overly competent]. But what I said was that the actual requirement given to vendors is, in my limited experience, written to apply only for access to customer data. That is, it is the implementation that is overly broad, not the requirement being passed down.
An IT culture that's built their budget and staff around managing a datacenter with on-premise software lacks incentive to support cloud implementations.
Thank you for the case citation. This is the summary I found:

https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/201...

My reading of that, and online commentary that I've found, seem to indicate that the IP address is not personal data across the board, but rather only in a specific context. I'm a little over my head in whether that specific context is "basically all the time" or not. It sounds like it only applies when you have the legal right to make the ISP give you subscriber info related to an IP address?
I learned so much today...
> Yes, there are confidential data, but it shouldn't be any real customer data. Right?!?

But it might be. Whenever you're doing software other than for purely internal use, you have a customer that gives you sensitive data which devs absolutely need access to - like requirements for the software you're building!
Life and Debt: Two Health Professionals. Two Hurricanes. Two Heart Surgeries
> Collection of personal information is necessary to delivering you the NYT Services or to enhance your customer experience.

I'll grant them delivery in some cases. They have to collect IP addresses, some browser details, info from HTTP headers etc. but they don't have to keep any of it for any longer than it takes to serve pages (although there are good and sane reasons for keeping some of that stuff for a while at least). What kills me every time is "enhance your customer experience" which I assume means present you with ads, track your usage to help us increase the number of clicks/page views/ad impressions, and sell your data to our "partners" who will spam/advertise to you relentlessly.
gamers will probably not be a big market for that chip, but it might be appealing for gamers with a large budget. unless intel has something big hidden up their sleeves (doubtful when they don't even plan to release their next mobile line until holiday 2019), that 16-core chip will likely have the best single-threaded performance on the market. plus it has to be a highly binned part to have the same TDP as the 12-core model even with a slightly higher boost clock. I for one am very interested to see overclocking results.

So, again, microwave ovens have exactly zero to do with space exploration. By the argument, they might better help to justify deploying nuclear weapons.

GPS, likewise, has nothing to do with space exploration. They build them on the ground, and shoot them into orbit, end of story. Further, they don't result in more food production, they just increase profits of tractor owners producing the same amount of food.

Any cancer research conducted aboard the ISS is naked opportunism.

These read like a parody of actual arguments, that taken seriously would lead a reasonable person to conclude instead that all space exploration is pointless. It is fortunate that none would.

> But a "conflict" would be things like anti-malware software making builds fail, not merely making builds 10% slower.

Given developer salaries, a friction like making builds 10% slower is hemorrhaging money. And it gets worse if someone is actually waiting for the software to be delivered, and the amount of money the company gets is correlated to keeping the schedule.

The government did not poison supplies of alcohol meant for human consumption, nor did it intentionally aim to kill those who drank the tainted products.

That's a big difference from a deliberate poisoning.

And that still happens today - you can buy "denatured alcohol" that is unfit for human consumption.
When I was a young adult I found out there was a video BUT this is the only section they showed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4woMuFZAx88

My favourite part is the grandmother that comes up and tells him off for annoying the tank.
I also prefer writing REST APIs in Go.

- Compared to Java: Ecosystem is way over-engineered. You might get along just fine without writing a bunch of boilerplate and factories and XML configs, but sooner or later you're probably going to pull in some dependency that does and have to deal with a bunch of clunky APIs and other annoyances.

- Python: Possibly the only language that's even worse at dependency management than Go. Installs packages globally. The solution is to create a "virtual environment" which is code for hacking up your PATH.

- Node: I dislike the quirks of Javascript like remembering the difference between == and ===, undefined vs null, etc. I haven't used Typescript which may solve some of those language issues. I also dislike dealing with promises/callbacks for so many operations.

I like Go because:

- I can compile to a single statically-linked binary and cross-compile for other platforms

- I can choose to either vendor dependencies or use go-dep to create a dependency lockfile. I can have multiple GOPATHs with minimal magic.

- The "go" CLI handles pretty much everything I need without an explicit config file like pom.xml or package.json.

- The language lacks features. There is no magic. Way more so than even Python, there is one obvious way to do things and there's even an official style guide, so it's easy to jump into someone else's code and understand exactly what's going on immediately. After working with Scala professionally for a few years, I firmly believe this to be a feature, not a flaw.

- The standard library is incredibly comprehensive. It's completely possible to write a web service without importing a single external dependency. There has been a lot of thought put into library APIs for things like byte Readers/Writers and HTTP handlers, to the point that external libraries still usually stick to these standard interfaces. Contrast that with a language like Python where urllib sucks so everyone uses requests.

I work for Inkstone, part of SCMP but of a different division from the China and Hong Kong news desks.

You're citing an SCMP article dated April 29, before Taiwan made those remarks, and comparing it with an AFP story published by HKFP on May 10.

How about comparing apples to apples, starting from this May 9 piece by SCMP titled "Taipei will not agree to transfer of Hong Kong murder suspect if Taiwanese citizens risk being sent to mainland China"?
https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3009506...

> “Without the removal of threats to the personal safety of [Taiwan] nationals going to or living in Hong Kong caused by being extradited to mainland China, we will not agree to the case-by-case transfer proposed by the Hong Kong authorities,” the council’s deputy minister Chiu Chui-cheng said.

> “We want the relevant suspect to face justice but our government cannot ignore damages to the human rights of our nationals.”

> “We have to ask whether the amendment proposed by the Hong Kong government is politically motivated, as some have speculated,” he said.
The reason this is an issue is because it's a local problem that requires a national intervention.

1. The War on Drugs still exists, creating an expensive black market for addicts where they have to commit crimes to feed their addiction - money that goes to gangs/cartels. Researching treatments is difficult due to drug scheduling. Treatment options are limited (like "free drugs").

2. When a particular locality attempts to address these issues in a callous way (like busing), it "solves" the problem for locals, but of course the people still exist and just move to the next town that is not cutthroat. This leaves a disproportionate amount of the problem to those living in cities, where the most services/shelter options are available.

To truly solve the problem, we need to end the War on Drugs, build housing, and properly fund treatment centers on a national level.

Your first option is about as good as it can get when trying to solve this problem using local tools. Safe injection sites, methadone/similar, and housing are all far cheaper than just a subset of what the chronically/drug-addicted homeless cost already and they actually attempt to address the issues of addiction and homelessness. Without housing, drugs/treatment, and injection sites you get: people on the street buying from the black market spreading disease that have numerous emergency room visits and nights in jail, costing everyone far more money than the housing/treatment. But folks in cities will still be paying far more than their fair share to do so and they'll be treating a lot of outsiders from places that don't offer those services, but should - the causes of the problems will still exist elsewhere.
From a carb point of view it is.
Happier is relative; living next to a tent city is still awful, even if there aren't any associated burglaries.
No, that's not the issue; even if the "location" of my phone were defined as "the location of its base station" or even "the location of the telco's datacenter next city", the physical wires connecting these "fixed forwarding points" do not have to follow a direct line. The best path to the USA (which is to the north of here) is to first go south, then go through the submarine cable.
I find I'm most productive by postponing heavy browser usage until later in the day. So I start by postponing mindless browsing until then. When trying to avoid distractions, I only open my browser for a specific tasks and close it when it's complete. I don't open my browser if the tasks or inquiry can be postponed until later (for me, innocent sounding inqueries often end up being time-killing hydras - postponing it keeps my priorities in check, and often my interest in the task or inquiry doesn't even survive the day (on the contrary, an unimportant inquiry or tasks can easily suck up a couple hours)). I found logging my browser usage, both time spent running and why I was using it, to be helpful too. I don't do that often though, but when I feel I've wasted too much time surfing I try and crack down.

On top of that, I try and write scripts to avoid opening the browser - it also saves me from having to enter stuff into the log :^) The most frequently used example is a youtube scraper (download the first x videos for query y).

I'm also a heavy Emacs user, so I apply some of the methods towards avoiding endless elisp tinkering, as that can be a timesink too! On the topic of Emacs, I will add one last thing: keeping an agenda in org mode and deliberately clocking in and out of tasks helps me stay focused on what I'm doing - I seem to respect the clocked in time much more.

Unless you have been addicted to something yourself _AND_ realised the fact, you have no say.

The psychological problems that lead to addiction of any kind are very deep. The addiction itself is just a symptom.

What this decision is - is just a declaration of "let's stop fighting symptoms, maybe that will allow us to see the root problem".

Google Speeds Up Shift of Hardware Production Away from China
When running a startup, and you either want the press to talk to you, or the press decides that you're an interesting story.

Larger companies have PR people to handle that kind of thing. In a startup, though, it could easily be a programmer who talks to the press, because there isn't anyone else.
My understanding of PSD2 was that it allows third party services to access bank records of customers who authorise them, not allowing customers themselves access to the API. As a result I assumed PSD2 wasn’t helpful for a totally local application. Am I misunderstanding that?
What do you base that on? Lego has plenty of small individual sets that get played with by kids, broken apart, bits go missing and eventually they get binned.

I wonder if this study should combine with the one mentioned here: https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/does-a-virus-ca...

I'm very much an outsider on this subject, but it seemed to me the Harvard article (and follow up articles) have suggested that what has been typically been targeted in Alzheimer treatments is a body defense, and although damaging, is not the main culprit. The herpes-caused "microbleeds" seem to be pretty key to finding a treatment or cure.

Either way, they are looking at the issue from different enough directions that one could mutually provide insight to the other.

Tough subject that is thankfully getting a lot of attention.

You can write small Java services. You really don't need Spring or anything. You should try it some time.
Aside from rehabilitation services, that's what already happens: they go to jail. It's extremely expensive and does not actually solve the problems, just takes the addict off the street for a few days and adds to their record. Then they are back on the street, still an addict, with even less money. Guess what happens next.
I found out (as an adult) that the first 10 seconds of this video had been aired: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4woMuFZAx88

My teacher should have known about it.

Now I found out that the media has had this footage the whole time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq8zFLIftGk but didn't air it.

I understand why. It was blatant propaganda from the west. It makes the story more interesting since people wonder if he was run over which was never stated but implied when I was told: "we don't know what happened after this photo was taken".
Personally, I feel a slapstick comedy track would work best. /joke

What could work really well is some live radio, podcast, twitch of commentary to supplement the detectable pirated audio. The biggest issue would be syncing the video and audio.
Communication skills would be a prerequisite for journalist skills, and I see the front page of Hacker News filled with discussions on communication skills every other day.

Small things like putting the executive summary on top, starting every speech/article/email with a hook that tells the user why they care, etc. If a bunch of coders could master those skills, and combine it with data analysis and web design skills, then they could become a force that can compete with the mainstream media.

Same here. K&R C is probably still my favorite programming book. I will admit that most of the examples I had to stop and think about, they all seemed 'cleverly' written. But in each case, it gave me pause, and taught me a new, often simpler way.
Just finished watching Seattle is Dying. I don't understand why so many American cities suffer so much from drug problems. Everywhere in the world you will find homeless people, but outside of the US I haven't seen anywhere so many drug addicts. Is it all those depressing suburbs with shitty education and people who are bored to death with their life? Is it lack of support from family?
I don't get it.

I feel that's the root of the problem and where the US should invest heavily.

Agreed, and I'm a big Python fan myself, I didn't mean to bash the language.

Somewhere between cool MIT dorm room side project and serious company there is a point where it's time to ditch it and reimplement it in in something that performs better.

Another drawback of it being Python is that when it is causing the fans to spin, I can't inspect what's going on with Activity Monitor's sampler. It's all opaque nameless Python stack frames.
Thank you for proving the point that people simply cannot see the difference between "C" and C.

You breakeven in 24 hours of ride time. Assuming 30% utilization during peak hours and 10% off hours, the payback time is less than two weeks of deployment. You'd have to expect 5-10% of your fleet to be vandalized/stolen every day, before it breaks the margins.

I was wondering the same thing. I found this definition:

Medical reversal occurs when a new clinical trial — superior to predecessors by virtue of better controls, design, size, or endpoints — contradicts current clinical practice. In recent years, we have witnessed several instances of medical reversal. Famous examples include the class 1C anti-arrhythmics post-myocardial infarction (contradicted by the CAST trial) or routine stenting for stable coronary disease (contradicted by the COURAGE trial).

It's worse than that. I haven't met an IT person yet that wasn't as smart as the developers they worked with, except in slightly different domain.

Doing the right thing is literally the opposite of what IT is being paid for.

I don't see a reference to it at that link but it's because audio equipment manufacturer McIntosh Labs had the trademark:

https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/

Edited to add from wikipedia:

“Apple Inc. employee Jef Raskin named the Macintosh line of personal computers after the McIntosh. He deliberately misspelled the name to avoid conflict with the hi-fi equipment manufacturer McIntosh Laboratory. Apple's attempt in 1982 to trademark the name Macintosh was nevertheless denied due to the phonetic similarity between Apple's product and the name of the hi-fi manufacturer. Apple licensed the rights to the name in 1983, and bought the trademark in 1986.”
