Funnily enough, even Amazon's actual "stamp of approval" (Amazon's Choice) is a terrible, terrible marker of quality.
Furthermore, I don't know how Pi-Hole works internally so I don't know if it's somehow specially optimized compared to /etc/hosts or implements any caching strategies but wouldn't introducing another server in your DNS chain slow things down more than /etc/hosts which is always present anyways?
Amazon's actions (not its words) are the way to figure out whether they care about this. And their actions scream loudly that they don't care about product safety or counterfeiting. The only solution is probably some exponentially escalating fine structure, where on e.g. the fourth offense the fine is 10 billion dollars and on the fifth the company is dissolved. Otherwise Amazon will simply continue to pay the fines as a cost of doing business.
Correct. I believe in WW2 the Germans had a problem with different gauge in Russia, and horses were still used mainly, and of course got eaten! :)

A new law is going into effect on Sept. 1 in Texas that makes a doctor criminally liable for using a sperm other than that which was bargained for. It seems to me that collecting the evidence on this could take a long while, if the Mom of the newborn has no reason to suspect the doctor of doing shenanigans. I haven't checked what the statue of limitation is yet.
Who is “we”? Climate change has been here since forever. You may very well be just reading the news about it more often.

We gotta take steps, and this company is feeding the american keep up with the joneses framework along with car heads desire for horsepower. Don't give me this externalities BS. We need it mass produced because it's a stepping stone.
It's not just the reviews. They conflate the different editions themselves (making it "logical" that there's only one set of reviews -- after all, there's only one product!), which usually gives absurd results when you go to view the kindle version of a book that exists in more than one edition.

I'm not sure who's supposed to benefit from this. Fudging the editions seems like you're going to a lot of extra trouble just to hurt your customers.
No, that's your opinion, not mine. It's a flaw because it creates escaping magic, delimiters that are in-band (spaces) and every program has to know how to parse the output of every other program, wasting human time and processing time. Structured communication, say like an open standard for a schema-less, self-describing, flexible de/serialization like protobufs/msgpack, would be far superior, more usable, more efficient and simple but no too simple to process streams of data with structure and programmability already there.

Being able to dump structured information out of an exception directly into a log, and then from a log into a database, without any loss of information or extraneous log parsing, is a clear win. Or from a command as simple as listing files ("ls") into a database or into any other tool or program. Outputing only line-oriented strings is just throwing away type information, and creates more work for everyone else, even more so than continuing to stay with lines processing tools.
For comparison's sake, what percent of your total users are from that region?

Except lots of the original ghost cities are now full.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2016/04/23/chinas-l...

The probably is that a journalist that doesn't understand how China works stumbled onto a construction zone and didn't understand what they saw. Chinese build housing for half a million people at once fairly regularly. I've gone past multiple constructions sites like this.

They also build whole cities (which the ghost cities story was about) and they fill up. A bunch of people pre-buy and once they get a minimum buy-in they start construction. Once the city is mostly finished it still takes a while for everything else to be done inside BUT in China, they don't fence of construction sites at this stage while in developed countries they do. You can just walk in and look around. There are no squatters laws so people cannot just take your property and there are fewer liability issues so they don't really care.
Other the European racism what was the problem? The US could use a few million people who work hard and believe in democracy.
This is a Bay Area thing (I live here).

In places where there's more political diversity, people aren't so uptight. They know there are others who aren't like them, that's OK, and we all sort of get on with our lives. I grew up in Illinois and it feels this way.

Whereas in northern California, the "muscle" of respectful tolerance doesn't get as much exercise. People are a lot more alike and if you stand out, it seems weird. Which is kind of ironic for a place that's supposedly bought into "diversity" or "tolerance".
Your comments have devolved into into a gish gallop. You claimed that his paper was based solely on preference, nothing else.

- Damore said that underrepresentation of women in tech and leadership is because of their differing preferences and abilities due to biological causation.

- He misrepresents Big5 data to list neuroticism, extraversion, and empathy as biological reasons why women "have a hard time" in leadership. These are not preferences.

- He claims that women have more anxiety, and as such Google should cater to women's anxiety more to help them with tech leadership. That is not "women prefer".

This isn't the memo of someone who says that women just prefer other jobs, this is someone who misused data to try to fit his hypothesis that women's biological differences mean they are not as capable in tech and leadership.

Yea, but did you open a book on either language?

I've trudged through a few Lisp books and tutorials and at least part of a Haskell book. You're right that syntax-wise they're very different than Python & Java, but the simple examples aren't hard once you learn more. Granted, I can't write even moderately advanced Haskell code, but quick-sort and some list comprehension code shown in "Learn you a Haskell" is pretty straightforward. "Real World Haskell" is also not too bad (at least the first few chapters). If you're even aware of Lisp & Haskell, you'll be able to pick them up at least at a superficial level with a little effort. Lisp is just weird due to the parentheses and the pre-fix notation, but the principles are very simple and allow you to directly manipulate the syntax tree as there is no difference between code and data. For example the simple lisp expression (+ 2 2) returns 4. What about (* 2 (+ 2 2))? The inner expression returns 4 and that is passed to the multiplication operator with 2:
(* 2 (+ 2 2))######
(* 2 (4))######
(* 2 4)######
8######

Edit: I have no idea how to format things on HN, so I out six "#" to represent a new line.

Btw...David Touretsky's Common Lisp book is extremely high level and approachable. My biggest issue with many lisps is that installing and learning the tooling (Ex: Emacs) is a huge pain. I'd recommend you start with Racket as it is like Python in that it comes with a simple IDE, so you can focus on the language and not the tooling. Racket also has a lot of libraries for a niche language.

That's oxygen produced, not oxygen total. Dropping to 80% yearly production isn't going to remove the already stockpiled oxygen in the system, so how quickly we notice is going to depend on how much oxygen is being "removed" from the system at the same time.

From a different paper-

> Oxygen concentrations are currently declining at roughly 19 per meg per year, or about 4 ppm per year. One "per meg" indicates one molecule out of 1,000,000 oxygen molecules, or roughly one molecule in 4.8 million molecules of air.

People want to live in SF because it's cool.

A lot of people who work at Facebook and Google would still rather live in SF and commute 2-3 hrs roundtrip each day rather than live in Menlo Park/Mountain View (or surrounding cities).

Tech companies are going to start where the talent is, and a bulk of that talent want to live in SF.
I have a Thinkpad and a featurephone, but I specifically dislike Casio's insistence on big, chunky, over-featured watches. I wish they'd go back to making the kind of watch they made in the 90s.

The one I had had an 8 year battery life, time/date alarms, timer, stopwatch, back/forward buttons. 30 phone number storage, heh. Nothing else. The only thing it was missing and could have used was a backlight.

Many of their newer watches also have this awful thing where if you hold own one of the buttons for a few seconds, it does a DST transition. Which is terrible, because suddenly your watch is off by an hour.
To be clearer, this is a retrospective of the DEF CON CTF, not the entire conference.

They are back to two, and the new one appears much further down the “not only OOP” path. It’s more about the grand ideas of CS and less about programming. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Computer_Science_Principl...

Not a good first foot forward. You're willing to begin your relationship with a new employer based on dishonesty. Not a good way to start.

I don't even see what people see in wanting to work at Google. If you think you have the technical skills to make it through a Google interview, lots of much better places to work at will pay you just as good as a salary. Google is a corporate behemoth approaching a hundred thousand employees. You're not going to make a difference there like you could somewhere else.
> For us in Brazil, it is hardly a shock coming from this administration.

We’re the much larger wildfire issues in previous administrations shocking?

> The Minister of the Environment was condemned for crimes against the environment in 2017.

He was condemned by an administrative misconduct. Classifying this as crimes against the environment is partisanship hyperbole.

> Brazil has a Ministry of the Environment. President Bolsonaro unsuccessfully tried to extinguish that ministry once he assumed office.

Do you really think the existence of a bureaucratic body is what will make or break environmental protection? We also have a a Ministry of Education...

> Ricardo Salles (Minister of the Environment) decided to review _all_ the national reserves in Brazil so they can get resized or extinguished.

12% of Brazil’s area is reserved for indigenous populations of around 500k people. Reviewing this is completely reasonable.

> A standard procedure when officers find illegal logging sites is to destroy their logging equipment (chainsaws etc). President Bolsonaro personally asked his minister of the Environment to instruct officers not to do that.

... so they can be reused by these same officers in their inspection tasks. Why burn perfectly reusable equipments.

Honestly, you’re speaking half-truths that mischaracterize the actual situation.
In David Weber's Honor Harrington series, the original settlers of one of the planets (Grayson) found the soil was too polluted with heavy metals that they needed to create purified soil of their own for growing food. So amongst other things they buried people in their gardens, though by the time of the stories, they had transitioned away from being food gardens.
You could say the same about San Francisco, and yet it’s full of single family homes, outside of a very small core which is dense. The result is fewer people than would otherwise have lived in SF.

The same could have happened in Singapore, they’d just be a country with a smaller population.

In my anecdotal experience, attempting / allowing "true OO" programming turns quickly into an unreadable, unmaintainable, unreliable ball of mud. After leading a team of ~30 developers in a monorepo for the past 5 years, I have been relatively successful in avoiding complete software entropy by enforcing the following "code commandments":

- Modular, layered codebase (for ex: interfaces -> service layer -> DAO layer)

- Business Logic resides in Service Layer

- Service Layer made up of collection of Transaction Scripts (https://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/transactionScript.html)

- Simple, immutable domain model, with distinct set of immutable objects for each layer. Unapologetically, this is an "Anemic Domain Model", but with separation and no re-use between layers. This allows for immutable objects at each layer.

- Services are decoupled and composed around the data / logic, thereby "owning" their own data. Services can communicate with each other to get data, DAOs are never to be shared among other services. This is in a sense, "microservices without the network".

- Testing at every layer, while respecting the "test pyramid" (https://martinfowler.com/articles/practical-test-pyramid.htm...). Bang for buck is important here.

- Last, but certainly not least: Composition Over Inheritance.
re: embedded - I thought as much - I think it likely just needs some use cases and marketing to drive adoptions.

This is an absurd statement and demonstrably false on several fronts.

1) large corporations that do exist are quite different,for example there are cooperative member-run organisations like John Lewis that have been very successful. Additionally, different countries, say compare Germany, US and Italy will have different corporate structure and culture.

2) There is a massive body of academically reviewed research that demonstrates that managers and executives are affected by fads that measurably reduce productivity (such as open plan offices) and often unwilling to change even when more efficient methods are presented

3) In corporate governance there is large mount of conflict of interest. Take Skyrocketing executive pay in the past 30 years, frequent bubles, tax evasion, large amount of fraud in financial sector. etc. Does that look like an optimal, balanced system?
Some climate scientists criticised him, an apparently similar number have expressed support.

> "It is clear in his response to being called too alarmist that he chooses to stretch the truth"

I think you misrepresent. He's made it clear he's a journalist who made effort to understand and present the science. There were a few mistakes as notably pointed out by Mann. Hardly "choosing to stretch the truth".

Given the IPCC's consistently conservative view, that encourages a too little, too late response, I would rather an excessively pessimistic view pushed us to respond "too soon". After all if some tipping points are passed, bringing it back from the brink will be just about impossible... If we overreact we get clean energy sooner.

Events in the two years since seem to reinforce the pessimistic view. Sea level rise tracks the worst case IPCC estimates. Etc.

People have a way of believing that the law -- whatever it might be -- makes terrible ideas into good ideas. From the bottom of https://www.kansas.com/news/state/article234237337.html :

> Last year, a Chinese national who was a research professor at Kansas State University was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for stealing valuable American rice seeds — a trade secret — that can be used to treat gastrointestinal disease, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, hepatic disease, osteoporosis and inflammatory bowel disease.

God forbid someone release rice that cures various gastrointestinal diseases into the wild. Someone might be cured!

There are definitely cases when you're better off with producer-side filtering. For example, `find` allows you to not traverse certain directories with -prune, which might save a lot of resources.
The prices for internet connection are much cheaper in developing countries 10-15 USD and we work with local ISP's and small Wifi operators where they provide free installations and some operators provide discounts on monthly fees.

Regarding your second question I am copying my answer from a post below:

Besides connecting students, we run an online mentorship program via Chat, online groups, sometimes phone/ video calls.
First Students receive a link with a "welcome package"-list of most popular and relevant educational platforms which are available in the local language. We also partner with the local EdTech partners who provide their services for free for our students, so if anyone is interested in any platform we teach them how to use it and provide free access. We are also long term partners with Khan Academy and Code.org and actively promote these platforms to the students.

On a weekly basis, we post in an online group different educational content, free offers from our partners and education organizations who provide their courses for free (both online and offline), we post different scholarship opportunities, fellowships, programs, etc.

We plan to provide tailor-made educational content separately to each student according to their interests and challenges. Also thinking to test different models.

At some point, I am not sure yet how can we maintain this educational part on a bigger scale. Hopefully through partners on the ground. But still, we believe that since we all take internet connection for granted and at the same time utilize it for the good of ourselves (not always of course), others have the same right to do it.
"No. More and more, technology firms and the individuals within them are realizing their own responsibility to consider the ethical implications of the systems they are building."

That is just shit we keep telling ourselves. You might even point to me studies, but those are just reflection of what we have conditioned ourselves to believe. Frankly this is how we end up with 70 hr work week or pressured into trying to build that app that no one needs or wants. Because reading a book or running around with your kid being silly is not “productive”.
> You dont want to talk about that stuff in the office, because there is not going to be any just solution.

There are going to be asshats in the office that can't handle being wrong or the fact that not everyone is sharing their views. Political discussions aren't toxic - immature people who can't handle disagreement are.

It is not great that we are letting those people ruin the workplace for the rest of us. I'm pretty sure that's one of the main drivers behind the alt-right movement. People aren't discussing and sharing views because doing so is taboo and they risk losing their jobs. Instead, people just sit at home and read wildly spun news stories which they soak up because their critical thinking ability has been impaired due to lack of training.
Here in California parents can apply for a one day permit for launching water balloons, a one hour mandatory training course is required; and the water must be filtered by an approved system.
