You are right, the national stories say many are THC, not most or all. I was conflating it with a local California story, where in Kings county where 8 people were hospitalized, and all had been tied to CBD oil:

The Kings County Department of Public Health, in rural central California, said it identified eight patients between ages 18 and 60 who developed lung illness after vaping products with CBD oils they had bought from unlicensed vendors.
I think the point is that these are slash and burn ag fires, rather than the big uncontrolled fires serve been seeing in California. So total area might be relatively low per fire, but gives a sense of how fast the major rainforest is being converted to agriculture... A total land area burnt figure would be nice, though.

Prefacing your statement with "Not to be rude" does absolutely nothing here. This is an entirely rude and unnecessary comment.
Regarding the health impact of cellular transmission, has anyone noticed that even the google search results for this are a total trash heap? I have a friend that turns off bluetooth transmission for all his devices every night, uses only a wired headphone for his phone, and even unplugs his wifi router every night. He's someone that doesn't know the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. I was tempted to make fun of him for all of this, but after searching on google and seeing what came up, I can't really blame him.
The chronically homeless are almost all in the mental illness/drug abuse category. The ones that just need training and/or already have a job and are priced out can access lots of services, move, and otherwise find a way out.
Except for the fact that we continuously discover new energy sources and new ways to store information. There are indeed fundamental limits imposed by thermodynamics, but something as crude as space travel is not limited by them. Rather the limit is the immaturity of our technology.

And a space ship is not an isolated system: it can shed waste heat, and as long as it has a power source, the entropy of the living space can be controlled.
Datadog Files to Go Public

The problem with these silk biotech companies will be scale up and competing with existing cheap and abundant fibers.

Silkworm silk already has issues with water and such clothing has to be professionally cleaned. Many silks have the property of supercontraction and will shrink by 50% upon exposure to water.

Furthermore, these silk companies claim they can produce stuff as strong as natural spider silk, but that’s a very tall hurdle to jump. They stole VC interest by claiming that the fiber properties are engineerable, but very little academic research has been done in that space.

So you have to wonder what is the market for expensive fibers that don’t perform well in the context of clothing that gets wet.

Already you see companies like Bolt Threads pivoting towards cosmetics, because why not? The technical challenge is much lower and the profit per gram should be much higher.
You are wrong about US legal tender.

You have to know about the history of currency in the United States to fully grasp why those words are there. The simple explanation is the Coinage Act of 1965, Section 31 U.S.C. 5103[1], entitled "Legal tender," states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues." Coins are issued by the US Mint (Treasury Department). Paper money is issued by the Federal Reserve, not part of the US government, but the paper itself is printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (Treasury Department).

This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no federal statute mandating that a municipality, organization, or person must accept currency or coins as payment for goods and/or services. Businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a state law which says otherwise.

There was a time in the United States when different forms of currency were available and considered legal tender, including some issued by the states, both individually and via the Confederacy. The original Coinage Act of 1792 made both silver and gold forms of legal tender, and people could come to any US Mint and have their bullion turned into coins.

Spoofing is the act of placing an order with the intent to cancel it before execution.
I disagree. Engineering disciplines vary in how far removed they are from the underlying physics and how malleable they are. Building a bridge (or civil engineering) is very connected to the underlying physics. A set of equations give you the answers. It's also not malleable. You design it once, then build it, putting in some margins of safety to account for any variances in underlying material or potential usage, then it's pretty much not malleable.

Mechanical engineering is a little more removed. You have moving parts, interconnected pieces, wear and tear, etc. Now you have to lean heavily on preventative maintenance, ability to replace worn parts, etc.

Hardware is more removed. Software is even more removed. The laws of physics are there, but there are so many man-made layers of abstractions on top of it that "good architecture" is a lot less like what you'd expect in a typical engineering discipline.

Not saying any is easier than the other, just that they are very different disciplines.
I seem to recall something like the "rule of 10" - for every factor of 10 in scale, a new set of problems dominates. And, from experience, there's some truth to it.
I don’t disagree but the way people speak about static typing is as if it’s present during the life of the application.
At the type of latencies needed for good VR, I’m not convinced any type of streaming from a remote server is going to work. You can’t beat the speed of light.

We’re only just starting to be able to do this with traditional video games (Stadia), where significantly higher latency is acceptible, and even that’s largely unproven.

If I’m wrong, well, I still think we should proove this tech over traditional cable + ethernet connections first, which already exist today.

I was just watching this Star Trek The Next Generation episode last night where they were investigating Captain Picard. So in my imagination this is just like that.
Yeah, I was mostly thinking in the context of a junior role. Generally bullshitting of any kind will be caught out. My point is not that someone could bullshit their way through an interview of this style. It's rather that I think it unfairly favours people with a lot of general and high-level knowledge, over someone with strong fundamentals.
I didn't create the HN title; it was autogenerated from the source.
I'd love to see what those scientifically derived principles are. If I'm building a bridge, there are equations based on physics I can use. Like I mentioned in a separate thread, software is far more removed from those physics.
Excellent resources. Thank you.

Some of the fear of 5G is driven by Russia. RT has run several segments about it. Here are some:

Could 5G put more kids at risk for cancer? [2]

How To Survive Dangers of 5G [3]

Cancer risk? 5G wireless speeds could be dangerous [4]

‘Totally insane’: Telecomm Industry ignores 5G dangers [5]

According to the New York Times, citing a declassified U.S. intelligence report from early 2017, RT videos on YouTube average 1 million viewers per day, and that is the highest among news outlets. They also say that lots of blogs and websites are picking up RTs claims and repeating them, without mentioning where they came from.

Here's a Times story on this: "Your 5G Phone Won’t Hurt You. But Russia Wants You to Think Otherwise" [6]

As a matter of fact, they might not even know what “language” means. Aliens are alien, but we would be alien to them.

Ok, we'll add that qualifier above.
Yep. I'm just making the argument that there's no quality of life difference between a 40 megabit mobile connection and a 700 megabit one. If 5G came with a massive range improvement instead of a speed boost I'd be excited, but it doesn't. I can't check email at my grandparent's house now and I still won't be able to after 5G deployment.
This makes me think of the Australian novel (and film based on it) "Picnic at Hanging Rock", which is entirely fictional yet is widely believed to be based on true events.

I am inclined to agree with the sentiment of your post as I also enjoy reading. At the same time however, I'm not sure I could provide a summary of the themes from The Grapes of Wrath as the author suggests even though I've read that book in the last 10 years.

What exactly do you mean by being an attentive reader and how do you go about training this skill? I read a lot and feel like I understand most of what I'm reading but it doesn't seem like most of it sticks for more than a year or two (if that).

The first sentence of my second paragraph is literally: "I get it that 5G doesn't exactly match the hype, that the cost of rollout is high, ..."

And the "5G overhyped, too expensive, not worth it" meme is what I am talking about as being suspicious. It's curious, the last time I commented on this very issue the responses were all that same meme. One can say "I hear the meme but have an alternative opinion" and the response is always "yes, but meme". When several voices are parroting a meme and somehow that saturates almost all of the top comments ... I get suspicious.
When a bungalow from 1940 sells for 1.1m in santa monica, its not because that bungalow is plated with gold, but because you can destroy the bungalow and build on that plot in santa monica. All of the inflated values of houses in ca is due to the parcel and not the structure already. A house might only be 200k, but the dirt it sits on is worth 900k.

Prop13 really needs to go away. It chronically defunded local government and schools for almost 50 years and directly brought us to the crisis where we are at today.
You say this with a lot of bile, but I'm not sure where your opinions actually differ from Fowler's. He says right in the second paragraph that he's suspicious of the term "architecture" because it "often suggests a separation from programming and an unhealthy dose of pomposity."

I think keeping it simple and dealing with exceptions is great. And so does Fowler, I'm sure. But I've been doing that a long time and I've learned some lessons about what "simple" means, and how some ways of dealing with exceptions work well in certain circumstances, while others can seem appealing but end up being a mess.

Like you, I think high-church, prescriptive software is mainly a giant waste, a way for fast talkers to get big paychecks while performing oh-so-smartness. But that doesn't mean over decades of coding we can't learn anything about they ways we build systems.
Ah, noted. Thanks for the education.
> The datadog-agent inside our kube clusters was constantly one of our largest logging services

This. Just this. Until I recognized this, these agent logs were making up more than 50% of our total log volume. These were, for the most part, a single log message that an APM was malformed.

I only noticed this when renewing my companies Datadog contract, and couldn't fathom how we had been generating so many logs.

I was pretty disappointed when their sales rep had been pushing us to increase our committed log volume, without mentioning that literally thousands of dollars per month was being spent for Datadog to send themselves their own logs. As far as I'm concerned these logs should either be filtered out of the index by default, or not count towards billing.

Is that 99% of software all the same? Like, have you really not observed huge differences in the readability of the code you encountered? Have you not found that sometimes it is painful (or close to impossible) to extend or build more features on top of a particular system, while other times it is quite straightforward, even a joy?

If your answer to these questions is yes, to what do you attribute the difference? How would you counsel a young software engineer or team? How can we write better, more maintainable software that still allows us to deliver features quickly?
Indeed, hooks are pretty much the furthest thing from functional programming there is. In functional programming, functions can safely be called any number of times from anywhere in the program, and they'll always return the same result for the same arguments.

Hooks, on the other hand, crash and burn at runtime if you call them outside a React component function, or in a different order or number from how you called them the first time your component was rendered.

I don't use Standard, but I am a (mostly) frontend developer, and I agree with your take on things. It's a shame, because feross is a very productive open source developer, but it does look like this is a ill-conceived attempt at monetization of his most popular project that has the largest audience.

But no, no ads in my terminal when I'm working. Not normal and not OK.

Yes. One (one!) gets there primarily via donations. All the rest are operated as small software companies which happen to have a OSS product available.

To the next obvious question "Who are you talking about?", I'm going to demur, because most people making money in OSS, like most making money selling SaaS (or anything else, for that matter), don't really see much value in getting that fact blabbed on the Internets. Information travels at the speed of (your liquid refreshment of choice).

>but takes it down when you reach the door

like I said, your market order will be executed before the alleged spoofer can take his down, i.e. there is no way for him to react and cancel his limit order causally, unless you are yourself doing something fishy prior to that market order. so no, the analogy doesn't hold. it really is an insignificant thing outside of HFT which is speculation to the max anyway.
I don't use the library, never will, but I think people can and should get to do what they want to do with their code. Due to that I am not surprised someone decided to monetize their project, it's entitled to think that not paying for something gets you a say in how it's ran. There are multiple solutions, not using the project is one, supporting the project before ads happen is another.
But you have to cancel orders if you put multiple of them at different price points, and it was your intention to only let 1 through, or how does it work then?
I've heard of market saturation, but market share bubble?

Bloomberg is not making a simple point. The article is titled as if there is, without a doubt, a bubble. When a bubble pops, everyone loses money and only the strongest companies survive. Many new entrants into a rapidly growing market, some of which get shaken out or acquired as the market grows and consolidates, does not constitute a bubble.

Your second paragraph is an argument against this being "an investment bubble".

I agree 100% with the last paragraph.
Two things: mods can we get the title updated to reflect the publish year of 2014?

I don’t know how to tell you this but it should be pretty obvious that’s not what the work was. Literally just look at the commits leading up to it. Releasing a major version is not just increasing a number by one.

You may argue that it is made in Vietnam, but if whoever has to tax it don't agree, your argument counts for nothing.

It's fundamentally wrong because markets exist to facilitate the efficient exchange of assets and spoofing lowers this efficiency. More specifically, spoofing tricks others into thinking that their transaction costs will be higher or lower than reality. This causes participants to transact at unnecessarily bad prices, which damages the price discovery process and adds cost.
