> blindly obeying a red traffic light when there's no one else on the road

It's funny how that is. I don't know anybody who would run a stale red light in the middle of the night when noone else is around, including me. I'm sure it happens, but I'm also sure that it's rare. In the West, we've been conditioned to blindly obey traffic signals.

On the other hand, most of us have stretched the yellow into the red. What's the difference there? Running a stale red is blatant, but running a fresh red is justifiable because "it's just a few seconds!".
The government can’t even protect us from a known carcinogen - RoundUp. And we’re suppose to just trust them when it comes to vaccines and their side effects? Most anti-vaccine people I know don’t doubt it protects from a specific virus. They question the side effects and secondary impacts vaccines can cause to the body. Just like there’s no doubt that RoundUp is an effective pesticide — but that’s not the issue, is it?
Just look at the vitriol and bullying directed to anti vaxxers.

Every second week there's a joke on Reddits front page about un-vaccinated kids dying, directed to parents.

It's not even a top issue of preventable deaths of children https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2018/12/21/child-dea... but somehow it's treated as such.

Look how our world created this monstrosity and you'll see how the world created the increase in anti vaxxers (Which is still kinda small, like .9% changed to 1.5%).

Personally I think Twitter, it's the seeds that sprout in other social media like FB. But it'd be interesting to see numbers. This is something you could track across countries and time. We need to pin down what communication methods do what. Small bites of info tend to be very toxic and easy to produce.

...and her innocence would have been proven, were it the case, in a court of law, had she not fled the country.

Fleeing from the authorities does, I think, give us a reason to suspect she might be guilty.
As long as companies use CRM and ERP systems, enterprise software is going to stick around. That’s just a fundamentally different proposition than one team starting to use Slack or Twilio.

> So commuting to NYC by car costs about $300 a month, but busses are still about $240 a month.

Of course, that $300 leaves out the cost of the car, maintenance on the car, insurance, etc. The cost of the bus needs to account for all of that.

Inaccurate. Brave wants to overhaul advertising: to be able to switch it off completely paying a fee, or earn money by not switching it off (and thus watching the ads), tune it, etc

I don't have to, since Boeing already came out and said as much on the URL I posted. They make a distinction between legal and illegal subsidies recognized by the WTO.

I assumed, past tense, that it was integral, and with this new information I realize it is not integral, and now I'm curious about it.

(technically: I never heard anyone say they could not do this until now, but I have heard people say they CAN do this (including me). So as far as I knew all my N sample size of humans was positive for this, or at least not negative, previously indicating to me that the ability is "integral" to being human.)
is is beyond being an egotistical and cynical POV.

besides, if this is true then you shouldn't publicize anti-vax, because this means "not everyone else" is vaccinated.
The people in my life who are in this same category also clearly want to “know something no one else knows.” Saying no to something mainstream gives them the ability to “be above” the rest of us who follow the mainstream. It can be a kind of comfort in their circumstances.

I think it’s more about speed.

The speed of spreading information, true or false, in social medias.

And sadly my own experience suggests that false informations spread way faster.
While “clever” seems to be a descriptor with positive connotations, I think that most people would agree that in terms of game theory defecting in the matter of vaccines in a community with no instances of a disease might give one a tremendously small advantage over the vaccinated. However, given that travelers from areas of high measles rates can bring the disease into an area of low incidence, it is probably a case of penny wise pound foolish.

This reminds me of a great talk by Bartosz Milewski [1] about the motivation and philosophy behind category theory. He makes the observation that our "monkey brains" are not good at dealing with complexity at all and we only really have one good strategy for dealing with it, that being to chop up complex problems into smaller, simpler problems which we can solve in isolation and then combine the results back together to approximate a solution to the larger problem. His point is that we do this everywhere and therefore it's no wonder that category theory is able to describe so many disparate areas of mathematics - because it's really describing just this mechanism, not some deep truth about the universe itself. Like - what if we as humans are so "register bound" that we can't solve any problems which can't be chopped up and put back together like this - such as those in the social sciences. His presentation style is wonderful - i recommend the whole talk but this part starts at 37:20.

You aren't giving them enough credit. If you want to solve a problem between two groups, understanding the underlying rational for their decisions is prudent and productive.

Simply claiming they are idiots because you can't make the argument, doesn't solve the issue or push things any closer to a resolution.

Think of it this way, there may be actual issues with vaccines that aren't being addressed because the current legal and political environment protects the vaccine companies from litigation and consequences. You also have a group think around vaccines that says they are all good, no matter what, take every shot on the schedule they tell you to take without question, they can't possibly be wrong or bad. This presents a problem in the debate also.

What if the concerned parents only response to these issues is to stop taking the vaccines because concerns aren't being addressed?

This would be a good time for everyone to step back and start having a discussion instead of shaming and flinging barbs.

It appears to me that the formula given requires pre-existing knowledge of the list of primes in order the expand the series.
Yes, because we love our cars. I mean literally, articles about autonomous driving always seem to have that one person who loves to drive and had a "you'll have to pry my dead hands off the steering wheel" mentality. And SNL wasn't making up a joke in the void when they made "The Mercury Mistress" sketch.
You can also move most, if not all, furniture that fits through a house’s door or elevator on a small electric van or even a (three-wheeled) bicycle.

Electric vans also could be the preferred method of supplying shops with goods. That need not be much more expensive if containers can be moved from larger vans onto such smaller vans at city boundaries.

If you have furniture that’s so large that you have to hoist it up and get it into the building through a window, you likely already need a permit to use the device that hoists up the furniture.
I used regularly watch awful car accidents on /r/watchpeopledie. It made me become a much more defensive safe driver. Then reddit banned the sub and I have slowly become more aggressive. I think exposing people to the brutalities of reality makes them more rational.
Yes.

Even better, for 2.x I had an "HL7 interface" compiler that would transform the client (partner's) specification into verbose wrappers. The resulting "fluent" code read just like the spec.

Alas, data quality, consistency was always a challenge. Data from multiple sources would come thru the same feed. So often our scrapping (data extraction) code would extract PID (for example) from 3 common places, from most specific to more general, then use null coalescing to choose the best match.

As hinted before, 3.x & XML was handled the same in spirit, but very different code, using query expressions instead of method chaining.

I'd be happy to share whatever I have.

If you are not paying attention. How could you become good at it. You have to be exposed to stimuli to be able to learn from it.

While it would not go so far as say there is causality to things. I would say that your description is better more useful model.
No, it is still alive. Processes for approving outside software still exist as is convincing stakeholders. Also, I don't think its a good idea to rely on startups for larger businesses because of the very fact they get acquired / acquihired or simply close down and you are left with no alternative. If it is a open source project with a company that offers a service and support contract then maybe but there are really large companies where Enterprise software still reigns.
The biggest problem is; jackson is not just my dependency, but a dependency of my dependencies. And those packages are not heavily managed enterprise things....

So it's an intense cycle.

A great step might be for libraries to note when their implementation of a package is safe.
Likewise, I see tons of pedestrians doing the same. Ive seen my share of people blindly walk into intersections without looking (and not having the right of way). Hell, I once had to grab the back of someones shirt amd forcibly pull them back so they didn't get creamed by a car because they were so ingrossed in their phone.

So, I dont think it's fair to solely put blame on drivers. I do think phones have driven up the rate of incidents, though.
Easy to solve. Just bill antivaxers for the moral and economical consequences of every outbreak. That will teach them a lesson.

Conman – [The] Container Manager: Inception
Unfortunately most SaaS companies today have got on a bandwagon of offering “enterprise” versions of their products which alienate those which brought them bottom up into a corporation in the first place.

You can see it in the “pricing” page that goes exponential on the “enterprise” offer and requires calling a sales organization that takes days or weeks to respond (vs filling in a form and providing credit card details). Usually it looks something like this;

- Free: $0 but limited

- Private: $5 / month for some extra features but limited collaboration

- Professional: $49 / month / user ... includes collaboration up to N users

- Enterprise: insane pricing that needs board level approval and will cost your company $millions / year

Free to Professional level I can kind of understand but in terms of scaling, the Enterprise is dumb. If you make me - a developer / designer / PM / etc have to kick off board level meetings to pay for this product, you already lost.

SaaS companies need to keep their pricing scalable so that as their product goes “viral” in an enterprise, people with purchasing control up to $10000 / year in departments and groups across the corporation can keep paying by credit card without needing to get additional approval. Stop making work for your supporters
Fact.

All you need to do is look at the horrors of various "Ethnic/Communal Cleansing/Riots" etc. in various countries across the world. Eg. 1) Ethnic cleansing during breakup of Yugoslavia 2) Communal Riots in some of the countries of South Asia etc. In many cases it was literally neighbour-vs-neighbour all because the environment changed to expose and sanction to act on various fault lines eg. ethnic/linguistic/religious etc.
It also relies on the zones being looked up actually being signed with DNSSEC, but virtually none of them are. After 25 years of standardization effort there is practically no deployment of DNSSEC among the popular Internet or in the US. The protocol is moribund; it's not worth configuring.
Naw you’re wrong. I grew up unvaccinated, and for my parents it’s 100% a distrust of the pharma companies and modern medicine, and it’s really hard to blame them. The system is absolute shit, there are more bad actors than good actors -or the bad actors have overwhelmed the system in the US.

I know they were wrong on the vaccine stance, but I do think their viewpoints are correct about most of modern medicine and I’m happy for the healthy criticism of it I have, in part due to them.

Reads great at face value, but is literally just content marketing. Author took some observations from the last decade (I guess Salesforce is big now, huh?) and added some VC Twitter blurbs about “consumerization”.

Listening to VC Twitter is funny though, turns out they’re money lenders first and foremost, not in the business of actually writing and selling software. So it’s a game of telephone, with a 8-12 months delay, but high dose of posturing.

The main distinction between SMB and Enterprise is not the software itself, hasn’t been in a looong time.

It’s sales.

And there, enterprise is alive and happy, getting even more centralized, globalized and thereby different. The main driver for this? Security and Compliance. CIOs will get fired if:
They allow a Maersk-style ransomware disaster OR They don’t have their shit in order when the GDPR-style audit rolls in.

Marketing automation got concentrated into 2 cloud players now (SFDC, Adobe) for that reason. The new enterprise. And SMB that operates internationally now buys whatever the big guys are having.

Yes, enterprise is dead - for anyone trying to sell into it with SMB techniques. Slack has strong headwind because of it, their enterprise plan is a) insanely priced and even worse b) backed by a totally inept sales team when it comes to “enterprise”.
This is a crap article--a rant. It presents no convincing evidence of the premise. If enterprise software is dead, why am I seeing its use all around me? My anecdotes hold just as much weight as the author's. Oh, and the author has something to sell, too.
> It's not a matter of "supposed to"

Some expressions from the top of the article: "severely deficient", "impaired", "absence of".

Sounds very much "supposed to but isn't" to me.
To be clear, I think that both cells and gods are far too complex to be satisfyingly acausal. I'm not willing to entertain more than a few bits (in the information-theory sense) of acausality.

Of course, belief in God is an emotionally charged topic. Many people rely on their belief for many things, and trying to argue against it is seldom productive - I'm hesitant to engage for that reason. You're free to believe what you'd like. But, since you've brought up "evidence"

I don't agree that there is more evidence for God creating the universe than there is for some kind of spontaneous event. For a start, the existence of the universe is extremely verifiable, much more so than God - no matter how much you believe in the "messages". For another, the universe appears to governed by very simple rules of physics (although not quite simple enough for my "several bits" threshold of acausality, just yet). Attempting to explain a fairly simple phenomenon that definitely exists with a very complex phenomenon of uncertain existence doesn't seem to add any explanatory power, and in fact just multiplies entities unnecessarily. All you've done there is take the mystery, put it in a box labeled "God" (along with a bunch of other things), and then said we're not supposed to look inside the box.

Addendum - I don't think the universe needs a "cause", per se - causality is related to the arrow of time, and that is a property internal to the universe. That's not to say that nothing needs explaining, but I think we should focus on "simplicity" rather than "causality".
Model inversion techniques may enable pedos to reconstruct the child abuse pictures from the model itself. This may be addressable through the secure enclaves you mentioned in another comment.

It doesn't even bring up the biggest issues that distinguish China's future from its past:
1) the last 20th century was distinguishable from the early and mid 20th century, for China, by NOT having a lot of civil war or invasion. Simply not having a war going on is a great way to do better. But eventually, after a generation or so of peace, while peace is still a good idea it's not new and so doesn't provide easy opportunities for growth.
2) For quite a while, China could emulate technological innovation that it witnessed in other countries (Japan, North America, western Europe). It is now approaching the technological forefront, and it's not as obvious which path to take. Is AI a great idea or will it prove to be a bust that overpromises and underdelivers? Can solar, wind, and hydro power replace fossil fuels sooner, or later? Should internal combustion cars with human drivers be replaced with electric self-driving cars? The answers are not as obvious, because all of the other countries are trying to figure that out also. This makes the advantages of centralized decision-making less clear, and the disadvantages more of a problem.

Not to say that China can't overcome these issues, but this article doesn't even raise them.
Get cars out of all city centers, not just the big ones. I live in a small town pop. 15,000. Our little main street is clogged with parking spaces and cars. For 15,000 people! Instead they could rip out the asphalt and make it a pedestrian zone with lots of green space...and the downtown business owners would probably reap the benefits. But nobody is willing to do anything drastic.
I was building "IE-only" internal web apps at the time (with increasing disgust) and having to support legacy browsers even if you knew they were just IE was hell. When I finally broke out into open-source and STILL had to support IE BUT ALSO firefox, safari and chrome (did chrome even exist yet? Mozilla maybe?)... it was not a happy time
They aren’t wrong.
First you have a regulatory landscape that isn’t going to evaluate every CVE and every implementation so if you work in a regulated sector you get no CVE over X policy by default.

Second for a large enterprise with a lot of developed in house applications it’s impossible to validate every implementation and use case; so the default policy is updated or file for an exception in the exception process is upto the application owner in the business to make an argument to the security team why it’s not applicable.

No CVE policy is actually the smart way of doing things because it does moves the load form your security team which will be understaffed compared to the development staff (doesn’t matter if it’s in house or not) and they have better things to focus on than going over SCA or Vuln scanning CVE reports.
Sorry if this sounds overly critical but I find it inethical to use the Chinese clones of Apple products.

I’ve been using Arch Linux last 12 years, on desktop, Thinkpad, MacBook Air and now Macbook Pro.

Linux runs on these machines smoothly, except latest versions. Macbook Pros until 2016 has no issues with Linux. No time to configure & fix issues? There is a special Linux distro just for Macbooks (Happy Hacking Linux).

Now I don’t understand this; why would someone who make money from software choose to buy cheaper copy cats who steal the years of hard work put by people who geniunely try to innovate and find new ideas. We make money from software and we are relatively in a comfortable state to make ethical choices. We know that Huawei and Xionomi are thieves.

If there is a reason I don’t understand, I’m happy to read.
Paper review: Comprehensive runtime checking in system software via watchdogs
I agree with the part about SaaS taking hold in the enterprise. ServiceNow, Workday, O365 and being pushed by hard by KPMG/Accenture and all the other consulting vultures. I’ve been cleaning up the SaaS messes left by consultants for the last 5 years.

Developers do have a voice now but in my experience it is quickly over looked by VPs and above, especially if consultants are around.

Slack is a better product but the VPs and up are already paying for O365. To them Microsoft Teams is much more attractive (and a worse product). Microsoft knows this and has been pushing it hard.

Don’t agree with this rant of an article.
Pure desinformation. Taiwan is and remains an independent country despite the wishes of the Mainland Chinese regime.
What has changed is that it is now possible to make chat and video apps in the browser and ppl take advantage of it. There's also a lot of money thrown in startups, and an SaaS for every tiny bit of workflow. Let's see if this "wave" is sustainable without a VC bubble.
