This is a shot in the dark, but maybe the fact that there's a free tier is a deterrent for (old-school) established enterprises?
This makes no sense. If you read Matt Levine, you know that literally everything a public company does can be considered securities fraud. It'd be impossible to run a public company if this were the case.
A favorite attack vector is various auto-updating software on your computer that downloads updates or update metadata over HTTP. For the longest time Sparkle (an update framework used in Mac apps such as VLC, iTerm, ..) defaulted to HTTP.

Once an attacker is in your network, it's more or less trivial to make that software connect to a malicious update server.
why would you compare Toyota to Mercedes? they have almost nothing in common. I don't think Lexus is a good comparison either but that's more a matter of opinion.
Uber made the right call in that it's asset-light; they don't long-term lease medallions or have long-term contracts with landlords (any more than a similarly sized technology company would). The We subsidiaries, on the other hand, are dreadfully asset-heavy. They can't just pack up and move out of a city that's underperforming. And as we all know, agile is as much about knowing when/how to stop doing something as it is about moving fast in doing new things. My only sadness is that this is so apparent that it will be immediately reflected in We's price, and there's likely not much opportunity to short these guys.

Looks like Preact comes in at 6K (compresses to 4.7K). That's pretty interesting when you realize that Preact generally about as fast or faster than Svelte in a lot of benchmarks.

https://medium.com/@ajmeyghani/javascript-frameworks-perform...

That said, I don't know that 6K vs 40K is particularly significant. For small apps, it disappears into the noise compared to ads, images, video, trackers, etc. For large apps, the framework starts to make less and less of a total percentage of the total app and often slides into insignificance on that side as well.
I would say the size of the download doesn’t matter for most people which is why there is little activity there.

This looks perfectly fine? Are you referring to the fact that they don't escape special characters like ' in the string? With the proper interfaces, like using prepared statements (which this likely uses in the backend, if this is an actual SQL db), instead of putting queries together just by concatenating strings, escaping strings is not only unnecessary but actively harmful.

Robert Macfarlane finally wins Wainwright nature writing prize
One way it would make the average person's life better is that it would reduce the number of times they are forced to choose between illegal activity and their job. Think of the WellsFargo workers. They only way they could make their quota was to engage in fraud. Workers who did not engage in fraud lost their jobs.

Think also about the Boeing engineers who, no doubt, were pressured from higher ups to sign off on faulty designs.

If the higher ups knew that their personal freedom was on the line, they would not pressure workers to do illegal stuff.

Right now, companies come up with incentives that reward illegal behavior which allows the higher ups to profit, while leaving the low-level workers with the criminal liability.

The best policies for innovation, as ranked by economists
Buffer is one example: https://buffer.baremetrics.com/
The thing is that the big owners of office space don't want to be bothered with doing anything. They have made vast sums of money for decades by doing as close to nothing as possible -- they just hold the real estate, and rent it out only to people who are willing to sign 5-year leases. In most cases they would rather let it sit empty and appreciate quietly rather than renting it out for less than 5 years.

WeWork has come in and made a relatively tiny business by installing a "front door" to this office space. They allow the property owner to continue to do absolutely nothing, while making the property easier to consume with shorter leases, a common access pattern for WiFi, coffee, etc. and a modern billing system.

The money made by WeWork, to these property owners, approximates to zero. They hold collectively trillions of dollars of real estate and some vegan weirdos want to make $50B off of them? They don't care. They'll just sit around watching their property appreciate without having to care a whit about what's going on inside.
Is there a way to ask Rust to tell me the type of an expression like `foo.iter().map(...).filter(...).step(...).take(...)`? I often feel very much in the dark about Rust types and some kind of command to show me Rust's interpretation of the type of an expression in context might help a lot.

- don't need stress about structuring logs beforehand, we'll parse common log types automatically, parse JSON automatically, and you can create custom parsers after the fact
- it takes two kubectl command to dump all your kubernetes logs onto us, and we'll add metadata after the fact like pod name, container name, namespace, etc (we also have a few dozen other integrations/ingestion options, of varying levels of quality/support)
- we're responsive with customer feedback, and love to talk to customers about how we can make our product better

Hopefully that's helpful information!

You can still buy "non-smart" TVs and do this.

But I think most people want this functionality built in to the TV, for 2 reasons:

1. Aesthetics. For example, my TV is wall mounted, and I don't want a box strapped on the side of it with wires hanging out.

2. Ease of use. Most people want to plug it in and have it just work
This paragraph at the end stood out to me:

> ...The We Company, used to be called WeWork, but it changed its name. The new name was owned, Bloomberg’s Ellen Huet reports, by We Holdings LLC — so WeWork paid $5.9 million to acquire “we” and changed its name last month. We Holdings — you guessed it! — manages stocks and assets owned by… WeWork’s founders.

That's a huge conflict of interest. How would something like that be approved?
Seed stage startup. Extremely likely it's not just salary but also equity.

How many highly experienced individuals are going to join a seed stage startup as a regular employee?

> Why couldn't we limit the amount of plane travel people are allowed for leisure ?

Why for leisure? If you want to get rid of 200 new smartphone models a year and other irrational consumables, you'd need to rethink the whole economy anyway, so that it is no more rewarding to rely on unsustainable consumption.

This may sound like utopia, but is not necessarily a bad idea.

So why not limit business trips instead of personal ones? The CO2 budget which is now wasted by producing planned obsolescent gadgets could partly be used by individuals to get more mindful by traveling, by getting in touch with different cultures, by having a better meaning of life than working their ass off to buy such gadgets. For a little more than four iPhones you can already have a flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas and back [0][1].

If you can't think of this utopia, you're mentally stuck to the growth based capitalistic economy we already have. In this case, limiting these resource wasting consumption goods would turn us right into recession, no?

According to the alleged professionals at pprune, they most likely didn't have enough time for that (gear extension takes time, and according to the reports they were at around 900 feet when the problem manifested itself, which - without any power - does translate to: prepare to contact ground ASAP).

They most probably didn't even have time to go through the appropriate checklist. They just did the most reasonable thing achievable in the remaining time which is: try to land the plane as safely as possible.

>the solution is to make rich more poor. Nothing is said about making poor more rich.

uhh... im pretty sure the strawman you're attacking would advocate for better compensation for the poor
Plenty is said about it, you may have not been paying attention.

Take some money from everyone who can afford it, and more from the rich than everyone else. Redistribute it into education, roads, healthcare, food, research, national defense, police, and other things that benefit society as a whole (including the rich).

You might want to do some research on what socialism actually means, because though it includes the above, it is not defined by the above. You can tax and spend that money on social (and other) services, while retaining a capitalist economy. Which is what we and every other developed nation does.

Socialism is state control of the means of production, which though it does happen with certain industries in some countries (usually energy related), it's pretty rare.

Right, it's a pretty general argument. A good regulatory system can't just threaten to throw CEOs in jail whenever a bad thing happens and we think they should've stopped it. You have to keep track of the incentives you're establishing, and make sure they encourage people to do what you want and not do what you don't want.
>It’s unreasonable to expect one person to actually have the kind of accountability you seem to think CEOs are simply choosing not to exercise.

If the CEO was subject to this sort of personal risk, I believe there would be far more systems/processes in place to make sure that there wasn't any sort of illegal activity going on (random external audits/investigations, more protections--or even rewards--for whistleblowers, etc.)

If you assume CEOs are basically success signalling devices without active influence on success whose prestige (and thus, the success they signal) is harmed by association with failure, that makes sense: the added pay is compensation for harm to prestige.
"Criminally responsible". To clarify, my comparison is firmly connected to the request that the CEO is jailed for crimes of employees.

Even a mid-sized company is a complex interconnected system with thousands of actors. The CEO can invest into training programs, external audits, training, and close supervision. But the amount of control the CEO has over an Accounts Payable employee is negligible. If the employee defrauds a customer by routing the payment to a personal account, should the CEO be sentenced? "Criminally responsible".

No company has more control, rules, regulations, checks-and-balances, and power over their staff that the military has over a soldier. If we are not ready to sentence a General for failures of individual solders/actors, then we shouldn't impose higher standard on leaders in weaker positions.

We're attempting to tackle the problem holistically. That means that we're tackling every single step of the traditional product development process. All the way from how you ideate, price, and spec, to sourcing and managing developers through to QA and infrastructure management.

For example, today, our ideation/pricing/spec tools leverage applied ML, creator management leverages facial recognition for fraud prevention, and infrastructure management uses statistical modelling.

We're trying to make code re-use a repeatable and predictable process rather than just a best practice. Today in the industry it's a purely led by developers, and very often is done solely at their discretion in a manual fashion. We're attempting to platform enforce code reuse, across autonomous distributed teams and products. Apart from just deciding what the optimal building blocks for a project are, the actual assembly or intelligent merging of these building blocks in an automated way is non trivial and mirrors modern automative assembly lines.
