If you are a paying customer and you signed an SLA with a service provider, you absolutely could take them to court for not meeting their end of the uptime agreement. A business providing internet services to other businesses with SLAs would probably have some sort of insurance to cover that kind of situation.

The facility where the doctor works typically pays for the malpractice insurance. The facility is the one that also hires and fires doctors. Screw up too much and jack up the insurance premium, the facility might decide that you need your own coverage or they might just fire you. The hospital might try to increase prices to cover the increased premiums but that only works to an extent. Medical insurance companies make agreements with healthcare facilities as to what services and goods cost what. They aren't going to start to pay out more just because the doctors there are screw-ups.

I don't think I would feel comfortable in a country where I would have no legal recourse against a doctor that harmed me due to incompetence.

Would you host your app with a datacenter that says they will try their best not to have outages? Or would you rather use a datacenter that guarantees 99.671% uptime?
Glass is another (the other?) material which is worthwhile to recycle. Like plastic, glass never decomposes. Unlike plastic and unlike paper/cardboard, it can be endlessly remelted and remade into new products without a loss in quality. It's a huge savings in material and energy cost to use recycled glass in the manufacture of new glass.

If you have a recycling bin labeled "glass", absolutely do throw (place) glass bottles into it. It will almost certainly be valued and reused. If you have a single-stream recycling output - just one bin labeled "Recycling", there's less of a case...processing and separating is more expensive and less successful, and a small fraction will actually get recycled.
And ipv6? Fragmentation and mss are handled somewhat differently, iirc
yes, agree, it's query-dependent, but ORMs have been unpacking joins into sublists for years

SQL should offer some native way to do this
Only reading about video driver issues and sleep/hibernation configuration puts me off Linux desktop. Windows is a great and modern user-friendly OS. Office 365 is awesome too. WSL is the latest missing piece.
This all hinges on what you mean by “relatively fast”. If glass is being shattered and ends up being a hazard for years, this is much worse than a goopy old discarded plastic bottle, regardless of the perceived ugliness of the latter.
In my eyes, "fair market value" is roughly (bid_price + ask_price) / 2. In effect, "fair market value" is a survey-result, based on how much buyers are bidding and how much sellers are asking.

80% to 110% isn't a perfect split between the buyer and seller, but its "within expectations".
Yes, because not having an Intelligence agency is a great idea for national security. You know the LAPD beat a man a few times. We should totally get rid of them also.

A rational proposal for over-site and control would be a useful comment.
Kudos to Mazda for saying no to this insanity. Not only is it unsafe, it's a horrible user interface. I'm not able to drive and hold my outstretched arm steady enough to select an item with a finger. For next car purchase I'll definitely test drive a Mazda.
Yeah, but I'd argue this really doesn't increase the scope. From my reading of the article, which is incomplete, we need a few more bits of info to make a call here, but I'm pretty sure these two organizations were operating in a grey area with respect to consults and referrals in this case. Personally, I think the policies they had, (maybe still have?), in place put certain care providers at enormous risk. But it really is on the doctors to make sure they are doing everything right. The greyness here, again, only my opinion, but I think the greyness led to confusion. But, yeah, confused or not, the doctors are on the hook for it.
Actually, this is not against Apple guidelines, they announced update on WWDC’19 in June, and now VPN apps can exist on Apple App Store again following these rules https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#vpn... and https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=06032019j
Well, on the other hand: if there was a Pandemic, Google and Facebook are trusted enough to put some kind of official info out there that could help to mitigate the problem. I’m by no means a Google or FB fan, but if they showed a big banner on their websites what to do to deal with the Pandemic, many people would probably consider it legit.
If you don’t have a touch screens users will still continue to fiddle but with an even tinier more dangerous phone screen.
> The UI of Adobe After Effects can be quite overwhelming to a new user.

I suppose so. When I was learning Mograph in school, After Effects was the most intuitive tool among many others. Combustion, Motion etc never quite managed to pull it off in balancing simplicity, ease of use and versatility.

AE aged very well IMHO and to this day is the weapon of choice of Mograph.

Thus, the problem with Adam Smith's Invisible Hand in the modern world. I salute you for sticking to your guns, but I think we all could have predicted that Sony wasn't going to suffer any significant consequences from that.

There's 10 major brands of TVs, and 10 attributes by which consumers decide what to buy. Even if you could got 95% of consumers to agree (ha) that one brand is the absolute worst at the most important attribute, it's still going to be the best at something else.

There simply aren't a sufficient number of axes of control here to influence change.

Thanks for pointing this out. Applying this buys us time before we can properly patch all our systems. In our case this was easy to roll out in a jiffy.

I do wonder though, can anyone guess what kind of impact one might see with TCP SACK disabled? We don't have large amounts of traffic and serve mostly websites. Maybe mobile phone traffic might be a bit worse off if the connection is bad?

If the incineration happens at over 1000°C and the facility has operation exhaust gas scrubbers then not much. You'll end up with bromine, chlorine and fluorine salts in the ash.

If it's below 400° (as happens if you burn plastic in your backyard or fireplace) you'll release dioxins, which are persistent fat-accumulating toxins, and fluorine and bromide compounds which are typically bad news to anyone downwind.

It does depend on the plastic you burn though. Some are worse than others, but 1000°+ controlled incineration is typically fine for all.
Latency exists. But they're talking about it being literally impossible to feed the cores. Nonsense. One memory channel per (modern-ish) core is always going to be able to feed it.

I love JSONB but I don't expect it to perform well for unbounded things

suddenly I have to store all items in a single DB row and read the whole thing to access any of them, giving me a new source of IO inefficiency

what if the target table is keyed by date and I'm selecting a small subset? JSONB will still force the DB to interact with the entire JSONB blob.
Because it's 20+ years old and tries to be as source compatible as possible?
Reading and Myopia: Contrast Polarity Matters
Anecdotally based on some skimming of the California version of the salary database, there seems to be greater variation between fields than between universities. My wife is in the humanities, and the mid-career salaries of the professors at UCs in her field seem to be about the starting range for UC professors in mine (biology).

If you are currently tenure track at an R1, I would expect that most of your other offers were from a similar tier. So while there may not be a huge difference in salaries between the top-ranked and the 30th ranked school in your discipline, there likely is one between the 30th ranked and the 300th or 1,000th. I'd be curious to see the analysis in the linked article run on the California data, where there are multiple top-tier research universities as well an extensive CSU system. Maybe I'm even the person to do that analysis...
> Of course, there is a bit of irony in the complaint by Genius too. The company got its start by stealing lyrics from other sites and only started licensing the lyrics after it faced legal pressure.

Not only song lyrics, for a while they were re-hosting and annotating peoples own web pages.

Guess this is Genius making a play to be a certified (and paid) Google partner for lyrics, which would make sense since they don't have any other business model.

Is Genius even entitled to compensation here? Maybe they can get some concession from Google for breaking their terms of service. But it seems like if anyone is going to get paid, it should be the songwriters from whom Genius is licensing the lyrics, not Genius themselves.

Plenty places in the US or EU work and continue to start projects in PHP, and I doubt very many sucessful places are going to be as stupid as rejecting candidates over PHP. (Sure, if they're not using it they might not hire someone with just PHP experience, but that's true of many stacks).

Any evidence for your claims?

Google One has support, it's pretty much the only button in the UI when you go there.

EDIT: actually it looks like the support might need to be reached from within the account, so that's still a major problem when you can't get in at all.
Google steals content from every site on the internet. I’m surprised Genius is surprised.

Interesting point;

“When the economy slowed, defaults went up across income spectrums. But while the chance of a low-income borrower defaulting increased from 6 percent pre-crisis to 12 percent post-crisis, the chance of a high-income borrower defaulting went from almost zero to around 5 or 6 percent. And the latter group was defaulting on bigger loans.” [1]

I think the homeownership rate over time also tells a story, but perhaps this is dwarfed by the rate of sales and the collapse of prices causing ~25% of houses to actually be underwater.

However if you look at Mortgage Origination by Risk Score over time [2] and Debt-to-Income ratio over time [3] there is truth to the claim that the overall portfolio of homeowners also changed in the lead up to the crisis.

I think we take for granted that the modern car layout has always been the same way, but it's interesting to learn how it evolved. Some of the original designs were using tillers instead of steering wheels, for example.
None of the issues you speak of are relevant to running linux on a laptop instead of windows. Linux has decent PM and I havent had glitchy issues with displays in years.

The idea of nuking the linux environment gets easier when you run one natively as you start to understand the system better.

I understand the idea where everyone wants to have the same ecosystem to run things on (docker) but the best part of linux was the fact it wasnt the same as windows

This convergence of the operating systems is concerning

You just removed the biggest reason to invest into autonomous vehicle tech. Now correct me if this is different in the US, but usually safety tech has to be forced up on drivers by regulators. Especially for commercial vehicles.

That’s a great idea and would’ve saved me some time. Sadly, I had ordered and received my Titan kit before even realizing I still had an Android device, less that I could use it to bootstrap my iOS device...

>served from an auto updated base, there's no reason why it couldn't be pretty much as secure as a platform. [...] Docker image that gets updated upstream for security issues [...] Why couldn't that work?

The update process itself acts as an attack vector. Even the techies like programmers can get pwned with trusted repositories that suddenly became untrusted.[0][1][2]

A decentralized server appliance of powerful sophistication that requires updates will require a baseline level of technical expertise. So far, even the less sophisticated hardware like wifi cameras and Nest devices are leaving unwitting homeowners exposed to criminals and unwanted spying.[3][4]

My current phone is a Key2. Before that, I had 3 Privs, a handful of Curves, and several Palms.

I am 99% sure my Clio had it attached to the steering column, so the controls were always in the same place regardless of the steering wheel angle.

I actually found this made them easier to find, as they're always in the same place relative to the rest of you. Controls on the steering wheel by contrast (as found in, e.g., my current car) move as the wheel rotates, and for some reason I can never quite keep track of where they are.

(The Clio also had the horn button on the indicator stalk. The in-car UX was super on point. Good quality stereo, too.)

Have you ever seen behind the dashboard of a modern car? It's a monstrous tangle of wiring, with inch-thick cabling bundles and dozens or hundreds of connectors. A touchscreen-centric interface like the Tesla Model 3 could easily save several kilos of cables and connectors. There's a huge amount of labour involved in installing all that wiring and a huge number of opportunities for failure.

I support Mazda's efforts here, but there are compelling commercial and engineering reasons to go in the other direction.
There isn't that much difference from a functional perspective. However, they will never achieve the value of bitcoin because many of them have forsaken the properties that give bitcoin its value.

There is too much argument over which chain will win, imo, its like asking which nation will win- it doesn't have an answer. We are humans, we excel at patchworked cooperation, which is why we have so many nation states and governing systems. There will be more than enough room for users to have many choices when it comes to blockchains for the foreseeable future.

This is a repost. Short summary of the prior discussion:

Google may or may not be stealing, but if they are, it's not from Genius. Whether or not Google can show lyrics under Fair Use is an open question, but if not, the party whose rights are being violated are the artists and their publishers, not Genius.

Genius has no particular special rights to the lyrics. IP law grants specific protection: copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, etc. Beyond that, it doesn't extend protection. If I compile a strictly factual, numerical data set and post it on my web site, for example, that usually has no protection. You can download it, repost it, share it, etc.

Limits on IP are generally considered a good thing. With IP, a little is good. A lot is stifling to an open society.

Technical sales, project management, or engineering services. These are often combined. You want something that puts you on the ground with the customer. They'll start asking you for technology/software advice if they like you. It helps if you like traveling.

Alternately, instead of starting a new career, you could ask friends and family for an introduction where they work and just go with your original idea of shadowing people. Most SMB owners I know would be happy to let a software developer analyze their process and brainstorm about useful software. Just give them a perpetual free license for helping you develop it. They might even be interested in helping you bootstrap it. Business owners are often looking for a good investment.
That is awesome then! It was a lot of hassle for me to find a phone that accepts incoming calls (and wouldn't come back to me) so I could get past the first step - though to Google's credit the number I used never showed up anywhere so they didn't try to sell me out.
You're obviously just going to keep dancing around and not admit your error.

Suffice it to say-- one last time-- you cannot be compelled to testify against yourself. Period. End of story. How many times you may end up invoking your right to not testify against yourself, and in what settings, is entirely beside the point.

Well, a lot of the misinformation about vaccines has clear financial motives: it's spread by people selling "natural" remedies, homeopathic "vaccines" and so on or making their living by writing books and speaking in talk shows etc.

By TV sized I’m taking about 50+, right now I’m using a LG OLED in 55” and I’m pretty happy with it. With HomeKit and Apple TV I never see the ads and the rest of the smart garbage.

(I wrote the article)

We allow candidates to use Google if they need to during the interview. However, the interviewer is free to draw conclusions from that. If a candidate is routinely searching for things that someone using the language would use every day, that's going to count against them. If they need to look up something that is only rarely used, nobody will care.

There can be occasional disagreement about what's reasonable to look up. A surprising number of developers don't know how to read from files, and I've encountered a few that didn't know files are random access. Some people think that's a problem, others think it's expected. I tend to see ability to use files as a proxy for general experience, which for R3's projects matters a lot (we aren't writing generic database-backed web apps, there's a significant R&D component to it).
In the U.S. we have a medical system where people avoid going to the doctor for fear of cost. I feel like this is not the best system to have in a pandemic or epidemic situation.
