Back in the day to get things like "nice rounded corners" required hacks in your tables like 1px empty spacer gifs and rounded corner gifs. CSS may seem less "simple" to learn, but compare it to "borrowing" a copy of Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro and learning that tool just to get something as boringly nice as "rounded corners" that you had control over.

(Source: I rebuilt my blog a few years back mostly specifically to make my 90's kid self envious that I could actually do the LCARS things I had wanted to do back then with no corner gifs or spacer gifs, and in a way that responsively reflows content that TABLEs never could.)

"This might be a dumb question, but does the COO usually manage design?"

I don't think so, but it's not unusual to have CTO, CIO report into COO. I'm guessing there will eventually be a dedicated CDO or a de facto CDO that reports into Williams.
That's pretty skeevy. The rich really are different, I guess.
I see this point being repeatedly brought up.

If you have ever flown economy, you will know that it's standard procedure for the middle and aisle seat to move to the aisle if the outer seats have to use the restroom.

In the case of Fry's, you have evidence that they've received a counterfeit product from a single supplier. It may be rampant, or it may not be. With that single datapoint, it's hard to say.

In the case of Amazon, we know them to have a long and extensive history of selling a wide variety of counterfeit products. There is not nearly as much ambiguity to the situation. Elsewhere in this discussion the comparison to a flee market has been made, and I think that describes it well.

thinking of the `rm -rf` one, here is a fun take:

export $WORKDIR=Home/me/proj
...
rm -rf /$WORKDIR

If something unsets $WORKDIR or does not set it at all, wave bu-bye to your everything. And before you say "who would do that?!" -- I believe I heard that happened to a build of RedHat that also had some kind of force push and auto-pull and build on their version control so every connected person had their version of the software nuked. If not for the non-connected individuals, the entire software would be gone apparently. Or so the legend goes.

"The US nuclear forces modernization program has been portrayed to the public as an effort to ensure the reliability and safety of warheads in the US nuclear arsenal, rather than to enhance their military capabilities. In reality, however, that program has implemented revolutionary new technologies that will vastly increase the targeting capability of the US ballistic missile arsenal. This increase in capability is astonishing—boosting the overall killing power of existing US ballistic missile forces by a factor of roughly three—and it creates exactly what one would expect to see, if a nuclear-armed state were planning to have the capacity to fight and win a nuclear war by disarming enemies with a surprise first strike."

This is still logging everything the GDPR says you can't without asking for consent, but you made your search convoluted (but not less efficient if you have all the pieces) to (suggest|lie?) that you need to break the hash and that's why you don't need consent.

None of the information you are using on the hash wouldn't be in the search query itself! ip, user agent, path, date, etc. So there is no way to reverse the hash. You just hash your search query and compare in O(1) time.

The only piece of information that realistically makes the hash slightly difficult to get is the random number refreshed every day. But either you store it (and i have no reason to believe you do not) or it make the brute force effort trivial as I only need to generate the hash with that variable now.
My comment was not on ‘continual’ but on ‘Turing test’.

If you gave 100 chimps of the highest calibre 100 attempts each, not a single one would pass a single Turing test. Ask a feral child to translate even the most basic children's book, and their mistakes will be so systematic that Google Translate will look like professional discourse. ‘Humanlike mistakes’ and stability with respect to input in the sense you mean here are harder problems than intelligence, because a chimp is intelligent and functionally incapable of juggling more than the most primitive syntaxes in a restricted set of forms.

I agree it is foolish to just draw a trend line through a single weak measure and extrapolate to infinity, but the idea that no collation of weak measures has any bearing on fact rules out ever measuring weak or untrained intelligence. That is what I called defeatist.
Sounds like a great idea and I'm all for it but I'm talking about the integration of that mess. It will be like trying to hit an ant on the moon with the precision of 18th century artillery.

What's the definition of an MVP, a minimum viable product?

According to The Lean Startup by Eric Ries it's - and I'm paraphrasing here - the minimum set of features that allows you to validate a marketing hypothesis. An MVP therefore can be considered an experimental setup that allows you to measure and learn in order to use that information to build a better product in the next iteration.

How that validation and the minimal setup required for it looks like entirely depends on the product, which is why setting a hard time limit that's equally applicable to each product category probably isn't going to work.

The shorter the time between turnarounds (i.e. between build-measure-learn cycles) the better.

Some of best initial MVPs are simple websites describing the product and showing a call-to-action button. If a sufficient number of potential customers click that button that's validated learning and an indicator for you to build a more sophisticated version of that product.
I see the solution in another direction. For every monopoly I see I also find a government enforcing that monopoly. Limit government power, not private ownership if you wish to improve the lot of the average person.

Why do we assume that AGI requires billions of $? Fundamentally, we don't know how to do it, so it may just require the right software design.

Nuclear weapons required enriched uranium, and the gaseous diffusion process of the time was insanely power-hungry. Like non-negligable (>1% ?) percentage of the US's entire electrical generation power-hungry.
Is the wording my own? Yes. However, I don't think I am by any means equivocating or redefining the term here.

When people criticize political correctness, their complaint is generally that they are prohibited or reprimanded for saying things that are true (or might be true) but may be offensive to particular classes of people.

The goal is generally not to actually offend people, but to preserve a society in which truth, even uncomfortable truth, can be discussed.

EDIT: If you look at Wikipedia[1] you'll find that my definition matches almost precisely in meaning to the definition listed there.

This will end up including wrong headers if they happen to be erroneously present on the machine. It basically assumes that if xyz.h is present, then it must be the right header for the job.

The standard approach is more robust and predictable - if we are building for X, then xyz.h must be present. It's a stronger invariant.
Please don't do this. Instead, write portability shims, and include them unconditionally.

Explorable Explanations (2011)
Another thing is that Vespa doesn't seem to support indexing of nested data, either structs or arrays of structs. For example:

{
"location": {
"city": "Washington",
"state: "District of Columbia"
},
"friends": [
{"firstName: "Bill", "lastName": "Clinton"}
]
}

Maps aren't suitable here because they can't be used for ranking. So you have to use structs, but those aren't indexable.

An application's search module could flatten the location key (e.g. "location_city", "location_state") for simple attributes, but the same is not possible for the array, since there can be arbitrary array elements. And you can't split it to an array of strings:

"friends_firstName_elems": ["Bill"]
"friends_lastName_elems": ["Clinton"]

...because queries like "firstName contains 'Bill' and lastName contains 'Clinton'" could match different records ("Bill Bryson" and "George Clinton"). Never mind deeply nested arrays of objects containing arrays containing objects containing arrays.

This seems unnecessarily restrictive. A search engine should be able to index the data you already have, not force the application to contort its data to whatever shape the engine requires.

Is there no way around this?

Because the dis-invitations that get press happen at very liberal universities, either private or well known public liberal universities like Berkely. Academia as a whole leans left, so this is unsurprising. I'm unaware of any right leaning public universities to name check but I assume they exist in some areas.

It's super dependant on the app. however, abstracting your api calls to a single library is helpful for any app beyond the most simple todo app.

Things like the current user are 100% global state.

A list of user settings, or valid values for a dropdown that doesn't change often (like a list of timezones, or countries), totally global state.

A list of objects only shown on one page or in one component? That component can call an api library for the data itself.

State of a component? Definitely not global scope. Specific example; virtual scroll for a table. storing the offset as global scope. As soon as a second instance of the component was loaded on the same page there would be major issues.

Data that gets paginated should probably not be in global state, or cached heavily, depending on the app. A couple dozen entries is fine, but the idea of pulling every record in a list from say, an erp app, and then paginating in memory, would wreak havoc on a user's browser. And you're keeping that in the browsers session memory. Not to mention ramifications on the backend, even if it is cached. and then you need to deal with cache invalidation, and then...

I thought Salesforce (founded 20 years ago) should be a good example, but their market cap is still well below SAP's.

While I completely agree that the US should aspire to hold the law in high regard, there is plenty of cases where it's disregarded against bad actors.

Consider the sanctions against countries (Iran comes to mind at the moment) where that country is not allowed to pursue perfectly legal actions because of 3rd party pressure.

Sanctions against China won't work though because their international political clout.

But since much of the rare earth patents are probably needed for making defense systems, I think it can easily be set aside as a "national security", "self defense", etc... I am sure a savvy lawyer could come up with the argument.

> marketplace items must contain all the features that the original brand provides

Why should a buyer be expected to trust either Amazon, or the fulfiller, to decide which bait-and-switch sales don't count as bait-and-switch?

It wrongs both the buyer, who doesn't get what they ordered, and the original manufacturer, who is being subjected to something akin to 'passing off' in trademark law. You aren't allowed to hijack someone else's brand to sell your product. [0]

> The Redux "Three Principles" docs page [0] emphasizes the "single source of truth" aspect. It's a good selling point, but has unfortunately led to a lot of folks interpreting that as "you _must_ keep _everything_ in Redux".

After a couple of years working with Redux, I think my interpretation has settled down to:

Redux should be the single source of truth for the pieces of information you decide to put in there.
There's an e-mail thread going around Amazon about this, internally. The scam is that the fraudulent seller finds an item that is real but out of stock from all sellers. The seller than sends in their inventory, and updates the listing because they are now the only seller of that item.

It really sucks, and I hope we find a way to solve this, soon. It's a terrible customer experience.
In that case it might even be cheaper to pay a few million in settlements than it would be to change their ways.
Don't feel depressed . . . you're only seeing the success stories, there are lots of us out here who have failed at building an MVP, a SaaS a Startup (multiple times). You just have to keep at it till you get the right idea at the right time and execute on it.

You probably can build an MVP in a week, but it depends on the idea you're building out too. If you need 2 to 4 weeks doing it part time, do it. The key is executing on the idea, testing out your product market fit.

You'll always have users saying I need x, y and z to use this.

Thank you for answering the question. If I may probe further, what is the distinction between traditional conservatism and ethno-centric populism?

That makes sense too (avoiding competition). But it's not what the quoted article says.

Institutional trading (like mutual funds) certainly is a problem for market makers:

> Sometimes, when a customer buys 100 shares at $100.01, it then buys another 100 shares at $100.02, and another 100 shares at $100.03, and keeps going until it has bought 10,000 shares and pushed the price up dramatically. The market maker who sold it the first 100 shares—and who is probably now short and needs to go out and buy those shares at a higher price—has been run over.

> This is a risk of being a market maker on the public stock exchanges: Sometimes you sell 100 shares to a small retail investor and it’s random noise; other times you sell 100 shares to Fidelity and you get run over. But if a market maker can guarantee that it will only interact with retail customers—if it can filter out big orders from institutional investors—then its risk of adverse selection goes way down.
