Interesting. There were c64 "talker" boards using some pass around system that had been adapted to work with a couple of the BBS packages, around that time. I don't recall seeing this system in use; wonder if they were all subscription services (which I would have avoided). Perhaps I just forgot :)
There are some probiotic blends that focus on lactobacillus that some have found helpful. These can be used externally or internally. See papers like https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1198743X1... and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24299970 for instance. If interested in this, check out the particular types of lactobacillus mentioned in these articles and make sure the product you're purchasing has those, rather than a general lacto blend. It appears that antibiotics should be a short course and probiotics a long course: killing is fast, growing is slower.

The science isn't conclusive but there are ~ zero negative side effects, so it's a good expected value.
> “an honest man can no longer walk […] without being accosted by women who engage in revolting touches

Sounds like sexual assault. The author's take:

> the unwilling participation in a public sexual culture threatened the urban experience as imagined by privileged male pedestrians.

…? Freedom from sexual assault is an "urban experience as imagined by privileged male pedestrians"?

Maybe I'm missing something but the author's several tangents about patriarchy come across as totally non-sequitur in this article. Sure, male privilege is a thing, but what does it have to do with not wanting to be insulted/assaulted while out walking for the evening? What is the author's point?

I'm sure there's a point to be made about "women have had to endure such indignities, look at how men react when they are forced to too" but if that's what the author is trying to say, they're sure doing it in a ham-handed manner.

EDIT: After re-reading a few times I think the point the author is trying to make is that even privileged males, who typically could control the public space, were forced to reckon with the change in culture?
Counties still have to do testing on the water provided by the distribution network.

Hell, in my county this information is easily available online and in libraries and is broken down by measurements in the processing plant vs measurements in the distribution network.

This won't directly tell you if your pipes are bad (and Atlanta does have some areas that used lead pipes from the county supply to the home) but it's a pretty good indicator of the water quality in my area.

If you're really concerned, it's almost always a better investment to get your tap water tested and fix the pipes than it is to buy bottled.
I participated in a Bly-based "New Warrior Training" and men's group in the mid 80s. It helped me work through a seriously damaged childhood. And generally to be emotionally present, with more range than manic/angry/depressed. I also did lots of est/Landmark work, complemented it well, and helped me learn to be more stoic.
I don't know what "no meat, no sin" is supposed to mean, but most people with RMS' history of creepy and harassing behavior would have been fired long ago. Hell, the bad hygiene alone would get most people fired.
Papers in Nature and Science replicate at lower levels that journals with lower impact factors. That’s not really doing much for signal:noise. If you’re a working scientist you need to keep on top of your field for yourself. Anyone who relies on _journals_ to tell them what’s hot will be woefully out of date. Academia uses journals for archiving, not for dissemination of current research. That’s what pre-prints, working papers, conferences, workshops and seminars are for.

As far as design whether typography or graphic goes Sociological Science charges somewhere around $2,000 per article to authors and it looks just fine.

Everyone is exactly the same. Everyone feels good about exactly the same things, and bad about exactly the same things.

It should not be a surprise that some people don't feel positive about talking about their lives. If you can't imagine it, I'm afraid you may lack imagination.

I’m curious about what you see as wrong with our standard of care?

I can see my GP same day, bulk-billed via Medicare (so no out of pocket cost to me) for whatever I need. Likewise, with a day or two notice I can see a specialist at my local clinic. Also bulk billed.

Out of hours, I can order an in home doctor service over the internet with an average wait time of 4 hrs. Again, bulk billed so no out of pocket cost to me.

I don’t think I’ve ever waited for longer than 24 hrs for a doctors appointment in the 12 years I’ve lived here.
It sounds like most of the US population simply can't afford that level of care, yet is forced to "go with it". In a way this may subsidize those who can afford it.

If patients had an option - a la you can get an appointment now with an external consultant for $X, or wait two weeks - then that would make sense. But instead you pay for health insurance to literally insure against catastrophically expensive health-care costs (that's the point of insurance - "socialize" risk so that the individual doesn't get "wiped out" in case of an extraordinary event), yet you may still go bankrupt even if you do everything right!

Also, most other countries have a two-tiered system. Public health insurance, possibly worse and slower (don't necessarily agree), or you pay extra for private health insurance and get nicer hospital suits, better doctors and short wait times.
The AC1/2 code was a pile of poo to be honest, but it still managed to do many things light-years ahead of other piles of game code poo at the time. Great concepts, but questionable execution (many people, many of whom were brilliant but this was really their first software job of any sort, came and left over the 90s, leaving their code behind. The AC1 software-only (i.e., pre-DirectX/OpenGL/GPUs) renderer and physics code were in large part incomprehensible, but they worked.)
Thank you, my understand was that S3 is also 'external' (that's AWS service).

What I was hoping/looking for is something where another tool lightweight tool that can be installed alongside Rudder, that can use PG instance (may be just different db within Rudder's instance or just different schema).

For a light weight, end-to-end solution (including analytics) that can 'grow' with needs.

For many small self-funded startups that care about privacy a combination of following challenges exist:

a) need self-hosted solutions that require minimal footprint (because data, even anonymized, is hosted on self-paid VPS instances )

b) need to use solutions that do not require initial purchase/investment, but yet can scale out (both technically, and in terms of support) when/if commercial model of the startup becomes more successful

c) need to use solutions that are not heavy VC backed, because those typically do not have stable engagement model (as VCs rates of return demand, typically, changes in initial service/open source model, while self-funded startups are typically much slower growing (and slower in committing to buying expenses))

d) need self-hosted solutions to cover lot of ground in one (so that the learning curve, and time needed to integrate are minimized).
Your first paragraph is not quite accurate. The high iron levels that occur during menstruation tend to retard growth of some of the problematic flora (although this is more true of yeast infections).
> So if an underage trafficking victim presents herself as entirely willing to a man she has sex with, that man did not commit sexual assault. Because sexual assault "presumes that he applied force".

And here is where you make the switch. The first part is where you repeat RMS argument why he thinks what Minsky presumably did should not be called by the word "assault".

The second part is where you attribute to Stallman that he said Minsky didn't do what we call "sexual assault". That's not what he said. What he said is that we shouldn't call what he did "sexual assault" because of reasons, not that he didn't commit the deed. That's different things - just as saying "if I copy Microsoft Word without paying the license this shouldn't be called piracy" is different from "if I copy Microsoft Word without paying the license it's not a crime". You start with the first one and then try to make it looks like the second one. That's where the problem is.
Well yeah... that's exactly what it is. By "spectrum" I didn't mean to imply an even distribution.
> The thing is, the Tesla charging standard predates CCS.

Yes. Tesla tried to set a standard and they failed. The industry did not adopt it. It's time to move on to CCS.

> Tesla has already deployed and invested on many supercharger stations.

That's not an issue. Tesla doesn't need to start from zero. They can retrofit the chargers for CCS without too much trouble.
Thanks, @byuu!
This approach is really appealing to me, it sounds like a good way to cut through all the dancing around egos.

In retrospect, though, is this effective?
So what's the pricing model? Your site lists "pricing" and shows no info.

- Are you charging for support?

- Do you/will you have a paid enterprise tier that will increasingly be the only tier with a viable feature set?

- What's keeping you from dumping on Segment's market until you hit traction then ratcheting up to Segment's pricing?

- Who are you? Who are your investors?
Are they equivalent things?

Rent was cheaper for me in Beijing than in Seattle, but whenever I looked for anything that I would have rented in Seattle, the gap disappeared and even increased in Beijing. Yes, I paid less rent, but I lived at a much less standard as well.

There are other things to consider worn outsourcing: logistics are often more costly in the developing world than developed world, which can eat away at your savings pretty quickly.

The whole thing is pretentiously written blather.

> This is not to say that all women who appeared in public were assumed to be sexually available, nor that middle-class women were forbidden from the streets. The streets enabled a wide variety of encounters, dependent on the particular circumstances in which they occurred.

Such insight!
By the way, those examples I shared can be figured out by checking dictionaries in their respective languages and comparing definitions. However, that doesn't always work.

For example, "excited" in English and "excitado" in Spanish both have the same definitions of 1) being enthusiastic and 2) being sexually aroused. However, which is the primarily understood definition is different. When you say "I'm excited to go with you" in English, nobody is going to understand you're sexually aroused. In Spanish, they can/will.

At least for being enthusiastic, the proper translation of "excited" is "emocionado" which Google Translate does do correctly, at least.

You don't need supply limitations to safely regulate something. Look at food safety in kitchens. I think it's in practice used as a political excuse to justify a cruder political reality of creating a limited supply to create an environment of exploitation to extract money from in the first place. Taxi medallion holders are often a strong force in many local political battles for election.

When I talked to a taxi driver in Canada about his situation for example, he told me he has to pay $3000 at the start of the month, like house lease, and therefore he is $3k in hole. It basically forces him to work non stop doesn't let him do things like take one week off, because he couldn't rent the car for 3 weeks for example. It's one month or not effectively. At least with something like uber he said, he had flexibility, and I get the impression he would of made a similar amount anyway.

Also similarly, a lot of drivers prefer cash and pretend their card machine is broken. The laws say one thing, the reality is often another.

I’d wild-ass guess that it’s using a cheaper water treatment? If you don’t want your water going green on the shelves, you need _some_ solution, and I’m guessing a dab of chlorine or similar both achieves that and makes the water taste weird.
The Vision fund was never really about funding breakthrough technology but instead moving the Saudi's economy away from a dependence on oil.

That aside, when you have $100B investing it is actually quite challenging. Take Stripe, for example, a fantastic private company that is valued at over $33B, but it has raised drastically less money than Uber or WeWork.

In order to deploy $100B it isn't enough to make $300MM bets because it would require 333 such investments. Just imagine. You would need 330 companies the size of Stripe and lead a late stage growth round to deploy that amount of capital.

Now Stripe has raised less money because they are more capital efficient and aren't burning cash like Uber or WeWork.

With Uber, at least there was a game plan because it was a tech company. Now it isn't important to debate how much of a "tech" company Uber is, simply think of tech as leverage. Which is the basic idea of tech companies, meaning that you write code once and then you can infinitely replicate at a near zero cost. While building something physical, your cost doesn't decrease towards this zero amount.

People also thought that DST was crazy when they invested at Facebook at a $10B valuation, but that has worked out well for them.

So regardless, Uber was a good investment and worth the risk, and still we have to wait and see where Uber is trading in 2-3 years time.

The real problem for the Vision fund is that to deploy this capital they necessarily need money losing businesses. These companies need funds to grow, so it allows them to absorb more capital which makes deploying $100B a lot easier.

Now Uber has leverage because of it's network. If you open your iPhone and you don't have an Uber waiting for you then you will stop using it. So actually there is real value in the network there.

For WeWork there is no "tech" and there is no leverage. Certainly the tech side is obvious, just look at the employee head count and the leverage side is also non-existent. There being more than 10 WeWorks in the same city for me doesn't actually make my experience of WeWork any better or worse. Which has been proven by how many coworking startups have sprung up to compete with them and are having no issues filling their office space.

So here you have a large money losing business with no leverage and as a result giving it a tech multiple was blindingly obvious to many people that it was a bad idea.

With that the Vision fund is running into real hot water. They need large growing companies in order to deploy their investment capital, but investing in money losing businesses is a risky, especially when the largest money losing businesses don't have real leverage and aren't real tech companies.

This just all unraveled a bit quicker than Softbank would have liked, but it isn't at all surprising.

To see other investments of theirs falter isn't surprising either. Because they will all follow the money losing model in order to absorb the capital, but unless they truly offer leverage then they will be either displaced, or they won't provide enough value to eventually out run their costs.
Ah yes, the zap shrinking bug, that was silly, but as the one I mentioned illustrates, not all of them (or even necessarily most of them, few though there have been) originate with ZoL.

Have you tried reporting the bug you're having with send/recv? I imagine people would care about that kind of reproducible failure.

Re: FBSD versus ZoL, go with what works for you. If something is working well enough, I'm not going to advocate changing it. (This tends to be an unpopular opinion among other people though.)
> By law, we can only charge one price to all payers

My last visit to one medical for a pretty average checkup netted my a bill of ~$450. I checked their website, and saw a price for the same “procedure” for 100. When I called up they said that was the price for uninsured patients who had that procedure and that because I was insured, they were legally compelled to charge me $450. Ultimately the support agent hinted at me to say some magic line about financial hardship so she could lower it to ~250.

As a patient all the doctors and admins are pointing at the insurers and all the insurers are pointing at the doctors and admins.

It’s hard to trust any of you.
Whatever the merits of the author's scholarship, which I am fortunately unqualified to assess, I "feel" that the "English" "language" has been "violated" by the excessive "quotation marks". I can almost hear the author talk with air quotes.
Ya I don't understand the author's thesis either. Is he trying to claim that the aggressive/invasive "public sex" culture depicted is just a different urban culture that is perfectly acceptable and valid but for some privileged males' self-centered ideas? Like, "suck it up dude, you're in gropingville now, get woke and deal with it"?

Maybe the author is going for some sort of meta thing. Like, "let's apply feminist theory reductio ad absurdum to show that groping is OK!" If he is, I'm not smart enough to understand it.
"Presumably, the actual criteria was likely familiarity and fluency for their tech founder or early developers."

Then... why is it so hard for people to just answer like that? It's a perfectly acceptable reason, but often (like the GP in this subthread) I find people won't actually answer like that. They'll try to come up with weird justifications re: technical merit vs competing tech, and I've found their specific examples might be demonstrably wrong or are just fancier ways of saying "this was a personal preference".

What's been lost in all this discussion... the state of the code. I'd much prefer a stack in XYZ with some tests, sample data, repeatable steps, etc. vs a stack in ABC without any of the above.

If they were hiring an interior designer or painter who asked why a specific color or paint type was chosen, but gave no answer... that might still be weird.
I just compare it to myself. Did I go in and goof off and take the easy jobs, or did I do things I didn't want to do where I had to take breaks to recover? I think the second is morally praiseworthy and I deserve credit for doing so. It's also beneficial to society so you deserve status for doing so. The upper limit on that status is the actual value of your job. But we want everyone to work hard at their job so when they do, we should give them the sense of superiority they deserve.

Not the OP, but I just wanted to chime in from an interviewer's perspective and describe how candidates should approach these types of questions.

Disclaimer: This is just my personal experience.

For starters, if you're asked a question that is directly relevant to your future work (e.g. "What's your take on accessibility on the web" for a Web developer), you're best served to state your honest opinion.

Do not try to "figure out the right answer." The right answer is the one you believe and you can defend. If that means your answer is "I don't know, I've never had to deal with it, but I know its important," say that and it helps improve the overall signal of the interview.

You might think of this as wasting time, but the interviewer is asking you the same questions that you'll be asked in your new job, but in a simplified form. Just be honest and try to treat the interviewer like a coworker as much as possible.

As I always tell my candidates, "there are no right or wrong answers in this interview."

(Once again, YMMV depending on who is interviewing you or what type of job you want.)
Last I checked, archive.org respects robots.txt retroactively so if this was posted on domains you control, you can fix it.

5 Mistakes Young Entrepreneurs Should Avoid
My usual example is the NHS. A lot of medical imaging AI papers are published using NHS data with great claims like

"Normal chest radiographs were detected by our AI system with a sensitivity of 71%, specificity of 95%, PPV of 73%, and NPV of 94%. The average reporting delay was reduced from 11.2 to 2.7 days for critical imaging findings (P < .001) and from 7.6 to 4.1 days for urgent imaging findings (P < .001) in the simulation compared with historical data." https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/radiol.2018180921

Except their baseline image interpretation turnaround times (TAT) are completely incompatible with the US. If any radiology group sat on an exam for 11 days, they'd fired by the end of the month. Many hospital medical staff bylaws require final signed reports within 24-48 hours, not even including the professional fee interpretation contracts which can set TATs at 30 minutes.

You can't provide that level of service with NHS-type funding. Oz is probably one of the few systems that's currently functioning well. There's a ton of reasons British consultants leave for there.
