I've found that a lot of doctors have this attitude of letting patients suffer, as if a bit of pain is good for you. I can't help but think it's also an ego thing, never let the stupid patient have a say in what could be right for him. After all, the patient hasn't studied medicine.

The good thing is that there are now more studies of pain. It's subjective and not measurable. Sure we can't give out morphine like vitamin supplements, but there's no need for unnecessary pain.
Or Uber claiming to be a "technology platform for several different types of digital marketplaces?" :)
The question I have (as a complete lay-person) is: can't we develop effective painkillers (and other useful drugs) that aren't addictive at all? Is there something inherent about the types of things these treat that makes it really hard to avoid using addictive substances?
The article says that it's an STO, which is a tokenized security on a blockchain. These are usually filed under SEC Form D and are offered only to accredited investors.
AI will be developed to spot them, I'm sure.
The glaring issue would be permissions ie who can see what. Pull requests could get muddied up but that probably wouldn't be too much of a problem to overcome. Some foundational git protocols would have to be adjusted, like .gitignore.

I think it's a great way for start up to manage the business but as more people get hired the organizational complexity might be too much to bear.
Section 87102.5 goes on to say:

> (a) The remedies provided in Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 83100) shall apply to any Member of the Legislature who makes, participates in making, or in any way attempts to use his or her official position to influence any of the following governmental decisions in which he or she knows or has reason to know that he or she has a financial interest:

...

> (3) Introduction as a lead author of any legislation that the member knows or has reason to know is nongeneral legislation.

> (4) Any vote in a legislative committee or subcommittee on what the member knows or has reason to know is nongeneral legislation.

> (5) Any rollcall vote on the Senate or Assembly floor on an item which the member knows is nongeneral legislation.

Non general legislation is defined [2] as:

> (a) “Nongeneral legislation” means legislation as to which both of the following apply:

> (1) It is reasonably foreseeable that the legislation will have direct and significant financial impact on one or more identifiable persons, or one or more identifiable pieces of real property.

> (2) It is not reasonably foreseeable that the legislation will have a similar impact on the public generally or on a significant segment of the public.

> (b) For purposes of this section and Section 87102.5, all of the following apply:

> (1) “Legislation” means a bill, resolution, or constitutional amendment.

> (2) “Public generally” includes an industry, trade, or profession.

> (3) Any recognized subgroup or specialty of the industry, trade, or profession constitutes a significant segment of the public.

> (4) A legislative district, county, city, or special district constitutes a significant segment of the public.

> (5) More than a small number of persons or pieces of real property is a significant segment of the public.

> (6) Legislation, administrative action, or other governmental action impacts in a similar manner all members of the public, or all members of a significant segment of the public, on which it has a direct financial effect, whether or not the financial effect on individual members of the public or the significant segment of the public is the same as the impact on the other members of the public or the significant segment of the public.

So --- it's not quite as broad as the earlier quote. But, I guess the question becomes is companies that like to retain more information than they need to do their job a recognized subgroup of the industry?

The point of the conflict of interest rules, though, is to make it crystal clear that any sort of appearance of conflict is to be avoided, which includes conflicts by virtue of marriage. Based on the definition of nongeneral legislation, I'm guessing this is probably fine (but is worth a look by the commission), but if it is OK, the legislator should say as much, and not claim independence from the spouse -- because the law does not allow for such independence.

Aren’t all the authors of that paper from Apple?
To be clear, the author of the post (“Scott”) in this case is quoting from a journal article against pseudoaddiction which Scott finds highly dubious.

The highlighted string of theoretical questions from the article IMO greatly bolsters Scott’s case.

But then again, I think it would be really hard to find an SSC post which I strenuously disagreed with. And any SSC post on moral panic and media narratives is a sure 100% winner.
I once had a Vice President explain to me the rules at the bank he worked for. A person of level X was entitled to an office and one piece of art. A person of level X+1 was entitled to an outer office and two pieces of art, and so on.

When he started telling the story, I assumed he was pulling my leg. Once he got about three levels in and had clear details on all the differences, I realized (sadly) that he wasn't kidding.
It doesn't matter because it also scares off everyone else also wanting to do business with them.
What a lazy comment and a perfect demonstration of the aforementioned anti-intellectualism.
I'm also struggling a lot with django, react and the whole asset pipeline. On the other hand, frameworks like rails and laravel have it all figured out for you.

Limited share of the FT article it's linking to: https://on.ft.com/3098o7k

> "Its market capitalisation — now more than $40bn — surpassed that of ecommerce pioneer eBay earlier this year."

> "Most of the shoppers who spent more than $40bn across 800,000 Shopify merchants last year would have had no idea they were transacting with the Canadian company."

$40 billion is mentioned in two different contexts.
Jeff knew she needed to drive the boat, to symbolically steer her own life, rather than being railroaded and being convinced to like it like her asshole ex did to her. And among normal caring people, guys like Jeff are the norm.
Also a great way to throw out massive red flags to any enterprise user that cares about privacy and non-disclosure.

IP address data is pretty sensitive information, and throwing it out there like this, even in aggregate, is not OK because of what it shows.

No matter how much PR this gets, this goes both ways.
I find that different cultures and countries draw different lines between intellects and beliefs. I came from Vietnam. It has a communist leadership. The subject of evolution is widely taught and agreed. People in school show off their scientific intellect. There's an emphasis on the study of science subjects. You'll hear a lot about science competition, local scientists. Religious doctrines are suppressed. You rarely hear about them except through some friends who are associated with religions. Even those friends rarely talk about their religions in public.

In America, there's a somewhat different divide. Academia teaches evolution and almost never mentions religion. Churches and mosques are the places you would learn about religions. Government seems neutral. But if you dig around, you can find a lot of religious materials. You can meet people who openly expresses their religious beliefs. In some ways, science feels suppressed and has to compete with religions.

But this anti-intellectualism may make science better. Rather than agreeing with science, we constantly question it.
OK, you win :) Nice job!
Canadian society is quite a bit like American society minus a hell of a lot of anti-intellectualism. Not that it doesn't exist there, but the difference between the two is pretty stark.
I do share that feeling of unease that comes from non only from the lock-in but also from the departure from the text-only environment I'm so used and probably many other things that might be practical showstoppers for dark adoption.

Right now I'm looking at it for what it is: food for thought.

For me this gradual deploy matters because:

1. it generalizes local development and production and possibly also staging/testing environments in between. I don't have to setup some docker-compose environment that sets up the whole shebang locally. I don't have to setup complex CI systems that spin up an env for integration tests. And I don't have to bend over backwards to ensure that both local and automated test envs are reasonably similar so I can troubleshoot when stuff fails only on CI.

2. even if I don't have that many users, and even if my uptime is not that important; I still don't want to unduly break the application. Somebody will be watching and complaining, if only your boss. What usually happens is that people tend to batch changes and have periodic pushes to production. I've seen products with relatively small user bases have very time consuming release processes. Starting weekly, then biweekly, then monthly. The more the pain, the less frequently you ended up doing them . The less frequently you ended up doing them the more painful they become. Then you end up with somebody dedicated on that because this "release engineering" is becoming clearly a bottleneck. And you do more of it, because now it's somebody's job.
What’s the backstory on this? (Is it something I should already know)

> a bit of pain is good for you

But this is it. A bit of pain is good for you. That applies to everything in life.
I read the article and the FT article, it's all about market cap. But since Shopify isn't actually a shopping site this is all a moot point.
VC's want to keep their risks low, they are more like investment bankers than true VC's. If someone approaches them with a seemingly good idea, they will want to unload it after a development period and realize a 10:1 return. So, they will first talk with a couple of the big companies and try to "pre-sell" the concept without giving away too much of tge secret sauce. In essence, VC's are captive by the tech giants, just as are most professors, and university curriculums.
And that's good how? It's just snobbish pseudo-intellectualism. If anything, it can be more corrosive because it produces a suffocating, toxic atmosphere of fraud. Groupies and scenesters.
You're forgetting the part where you start lobbying for regulations that raise the barrier for entry to new potential competitors

Thanks for the recommendation. I just picked up the audiobook.
I have no plans on trusting my child with a phone/tablet for a _very_ long time. I mean, the basic income model for _all_ major online companies is to increase engagement no matter what. No thanks.

What I do wish is for the pubic perception of 'screentime' to not include _everything_. This morning my almost 3 year daughter and I watched 30 minutes of Daniel Tiger, 5 minutes of planes landing, and 10 minutes of ballet performances. All highly engaging with questions flowing from her about every aspect. It's not like I sat her in a corner to play some skinner box slot machine for an hour _or_ some brain dead flashy cartoon.

If the question is whether it's a good idea to let your kids sit in front of a slot machine that collects the data they input _and_ the words the say to friends in an effort to further manipulate them then I could have saved you a study. :D

Jews have contributed so much to the intellectual life of other countries that one gets the impression that the Jewish people as a whole is like that. Going to Israel for the first time was a shock because there I was swiftly disabused of that notion. In Israel, one meets the whole spectrum of people from extremely intellectual to anti-intellectual as you might find anywhere.

I had a similar experience when I visited Finland for the first time after knowing of it only as a country with high achievement in schools and free university education. Most of the Finns I knew abroad came from these highly educated backgrounds. But when I visited the country, suddenly I came face to face with school dropouts mopping floors and alcoholic layabouts, just like in any other country on earth.
Prop C put a few companies into this quagmire. Stripe is another prime target for this gross receipts tax. As written, I wouldn't be surprised if these types of companies that handle consumer payments or transactions moved HQ to Oakland in a few years as they seek to avoid the taxes.
You don't have to be an rocket surgeon to see that amazon search sucks. I wouldn't even call amazon search "Search".

If I have one file on my computer named "Amazon Search Sucks ASS.txt" and I search for it by name, in quotes, I expect to see only one result.

A similar search on amazon will return a bunch of results many of them have nothing to do with the words I typed, not in the title, description, etc.

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON SORTING BASED ON PRICE!!! The number of search results should not change based on how you sort the result list!!!

Yes. I don’t know if that’s all that they do. They often port new Tensorflow models to PyTorch as well. They provide straightforward APIs, nice documentation, and clear tutorials. I use their stuff pretty regularly.
The interesting question that may well be addressed in the book but not in the wiki; is it a mistake? The communist regimes were quite pro-intellectual [0]; and the modern communist party is relatively technocratic compared to the US.

The problem is although technical excellence is a benefit, intellectuals form their own class and have slightly abstract demands. As a body their first priority is not the material betterment of ordinary people, although individually there are intellectuals who punch well above their weight in that regard.

Honestly, I don't think that applies to the situation in the article. The gross receipts tax is hindering them from being globally competitive. Companies like Salesforce, with it's huge gross margins barely get taxed anything while companies with minimum margins are being taxed on every sale. It seems like SF over regulation will push fintech companies to pretty much anywhere else.
To all the people saying some variant of "there's nothing new here", I think you are missing it: Tipping has always been an effort. If it all happened behind the scenes, with no action required on your part (beyond just browsing to a site), then "tipping" can viably compete with ads.
Yes, I also noticed that example as something not like the others.

And that's just a quick search for s3 in the repo. It would not surprise me in the least to discover a `from_pretrained` that points at one of the s3 resources being pulled. There's probably other stuff like that as well in the code that could be causing equally nasty heartache .. especially if non-persistent containers are involved....

So, everyone is worried about a fleet of drones attacking. I've seen some interesting drone flight formations for Chinese celebrations at night which indicate to me that they could be controlled, perhaps, by AI, to search out and attack incoming hostile drones.

Imagine facing a fleet of the drones from, for example, the movie Oblivion.
One can readily argue that all of the early Silicon Valley hardware startups were not attempting to end-run regulation, but rather exploit emerging integrated-circuit technology.
Not OP, but I set up a SaaS platform, and I also ran on straight Postgres (RDS wasn't an option, we weren't on AWS). In my experience, after setting up WAL-E to continuously backup to S3 and giving it plenty of extra disk space (for stalled WAL segments), it worked pretty well with no intervention. Restores occasionally took a bit, but they never failed (we managed a couple dozen databases over five years).

We really don't think these are good articles to be written about Shopify.

Shopify is a company that got big by totally being in the background and making other brands look good instead of itself. I fear what happened in the last little while is that we became too big to be ignored and the Shopify vs Amazon vs Ebay angle seems to be the most accessible angle for writing. It seems to be working though, for whatever reason this made it on Hacker news even though in the same week as this article was written we also bought a robotics company for $450m to automated warehouses and announced a $5m carbon sequestration fund which should really be appreciated on hacker news. Alas we talk about GMV number comparisons.

The idea of questioning science and informed skepticism is valuable, but I don't think it stems from anti-intellectualism. How can people who distrust science to that degree come up with meaningful criticism? I don't see what value climate change deniers or anti-vaxxers are bringing to science, for example.
Yes mostly; when you get a failed allocation, for the most part there is nothing reasonable to do other than make a nice crash dump. Especially from the point of view of a language/toolkit.

As a operator/user, you can certainly write some code to scan for large processes, and kill them; with a fair bit of success, but that's not a great thing for the toolkit to do, it doesn't have a good way to tell what's too big or what's intended.

The NBN in its post 2013 form is a disaster but I'm not aware of any areas that are still being migrated from HFC to fibre by them. Are you sure this is the case? If you have HFC you will likely stay on HFC, but you will indeed have your bandwidth downgraded and price increased. Thanks Liberal Party.

Regardless, it's not really relevant to an article about 4G vs 5G - they are separate fibre networks I believe?

There is a well known story, when Stalin met with Vavilov¹ to hear his concerns about issues related to genetics, and was ridiculing his ideas, making fun of him, saying that all he does is "playing with pestles and stamens". Vavilov died of starvation in prison. I don't call such regimes intellectual.

I'm a firm believer in that Rust is the greatest imperative programming language ever designed. But your example is a pathologically simple problem with a horrendously complex solution in Rust. In responding to a simple get request you have to lean on both function annotations and a macro. That code would be so much nicer in Ruby.

Last time I was in Paris, in La Villette, there was a busker playing incredibly dissonant serial music. On an accordion.

He had an audience - admittedly not a huge audience, but he certainly wasn't being ignored. There aren't many places that would happen.

Francophone cultures - and especially in Paris and Montreal - seem more comfortable with people who are clever, thinky, maybe creative, and a bit unusual, than Anglophone cultures.

The UK and US have their own version, but access is controlled more by class rather than raw talent. France is hardly class-free, but it seems more open to blue sky philosophy than the US, which seems to be impressed primarily by thought leadership in a corporate context, or social and academic theories with dogmatic authoritarian overtones - even among progressives - than in knock-about philosophical experimentation for the sake of it.
Yet it is implicitly directed at Systemd that have not hesitate in the past to break userspace. More than once.
This article isn't clear about it but yes - its about the amount people sell on both platforms, not stock price.

Now, is that a useful basis of comparison? It's fun fact but not much more given the difference of the platforms.
