That's the point though, the device manufacturer wouldn't have to maintain their own Android fork. They could rely on and work with the the LineageOS team to get a consistent version of AOSP on their devices and then the hardware manufacturer could just focus on making the hardware as good as they can(which is also a monumentally difficult problem, even for Google and Samsung). LineageOS is already made and kept up to date by community maintainers, adding new device support for LineageOS would be orders of magnitude cheaper and easier then developing their own Android fork.
Sure, but it's not conventionally what is called "uptime", an uninterrupted period in a normal and responsive state. Voyager has had faults and been rebooted. In any other situation that I'm aware of, you'd have to say that uptime started over or that uptime is <100%.
You'd be foolish to do a VCS migration that discards the commit messages. I've never seen it happen personally, as people tend not to be that foolish. I've worked with legacy codebases that went from CVS -> SVN -> git and all of the commit messages going back to the very beginning are intact, because why would you ever do a migration that doesn't maintain them?

I dont understand why desalination is an interesting problem given that it can be done whilst wasting minimal heat for processes that already need heat (or cooling due to too much heat). Things like smelting, power plants, nuclear, data centers...
Luckily they are even harder to mix up in Europe where the jack-o is both rare and differently colored from the american one which is quite similar to chanterelle in color. Also since the jack-o has real gills (unlike a chanterelle) you’d need to be really sloppy to miss it. It’s not extremely toxic - you risk becoming sick, not dead.
Can it be just a sum of periodic signals? For example if one signal has a period of 7 and another of 11, the period of their sum is 7x11.
I had rather have this humility and not be worried, than having someone say that they are the best pilot. That would ring alarm bells because most of the brilliant people I have met are humble and seldom boastful. The mediocre ones are usually the loudest.
Fascinating to see such clear ramifications of allowing religious beliefs to creep into the outcome of successful product expansion.

i have a dedication on a book by an old teacher.

he used to teach geography to a bunch of 14 year olds, so he had to be harsh sometimes to get us quiet enough to learn.

once, i was sitting by myself during his class and i was reading lord of the rings under the table (it was that HUGE edition that has the 3 books + appendix) -- i was so focused i didn't see him coming. he called my name, i looked up, he asked me what i was doing. i said reading a book, he scowled, and went back to the front of the class.

months later, at the parents-teacher conference, he called my mom out in front of everybody. my mom thought he was going to say something bad, but in fact, he said he was proud to see a young student reading but that she should tell me that there are places to read those kind of books, and middle of class is not one of them.

he also gave her a book so she could give it to me -- a book on genghis khan's empire. it had a dedication that said:

"i dedicate this book so you can have nice moments and remember your teacher"[0] (shitty translation from ptbr, sorry).

it was already a great gift -- i loved books -- but the dedication on the book made it so much more... special. since them, whenever i give books to people (and i still do frequently, books are one of my passions), i write something nice, mostly because i feel that it makes that specific book special to that person.

I'm not suggesting you shouldn't give money to charity, including the ones that work to minimize climate change. I'm suggesting that your laptop isn't carbon neutral at all. It's a matter of definition I guess, but fossil carbon was emitted in the production and transportation if it.

Actually, for years, Oracle had only 1 CEO (Larry). The CO-CEO thing happened in 2014 when Larry stepped down as CEO.

Larry has been quoted as saying in this year's Oracle Openworld conference - “I believe in a dual-CEO structure. The normal case would be dual CEO here for obvious reasons. That it’s good to have capacity and good to have specialization. And then, God forbid, if something untoward should happen, you have capacity; you are not incapacitated.” [1]

Certainly agree with your fundamental point, but also kind of thinking that a whole lot more people than just the CEO need to go here.

I hesitate to say this about any organization that I don't have personal experience in, but at some point even unfamiliar outsiders can be forgiven for wondering if this is just a systemic problem at Boeing?

It was actually a continuous series of catching the biggest breaks possible from regulators that allowed them to get into this situation.
A number of years ago, I downloaded several Groups I cared about using something like PG Offline (though I don't remember if that's exactly what I used) that gave me an sqlite file. I ended up converting it into MySQL and building a terrible viewer "app" with PHP that just navigated up and down the messages.

I never totally understood what happened to some of my old Yahoo Groups though. Several disappeared completely, and some despite being completely inactive, persisted for years upon years.
Right but that's not "everyone's data", it's just data available to people who granted that app permission. You can't for instance get a FB firehose of everyone's posts.

That's the nature of social data (and it's already this way for email -- Google knows what you email @gmail.com addresses even if you don't have one).

I personally see nothing wrong with this. I didn't think Cambridge Analytica was a big deal either, just something the media blew out of proportion. If you communicate with people, what you send them will be available to whoever they share it with.
not sure what kind of work you do, but if you make tools that save people time and you have many users, it could add up to many lifetimes not spent on some menial task. not quite the same, but I would argue that helping many people allocate their time towards activities they actually value is just as important as saving individual lives.
The kind of people you're transacting Bitcoin for cash with definitely don't want to check ID, just the opposite. They likely don't want you to know who they are either.
If I'm reading correctly, you will also need to log into Imgur. "any pages that we know to contain NSFW content will now require that a user log in and acknowledge that they are 18+ years of age in order to view."

So this is making the Reddit -> imgur experience more crappy for people browsing Reddit.

Imgur has been on a trend of walling off their garden, first deprecating the Mobile Web experience in favor of their frigging app, and now this. I can understand why they want to reduce their footprint for NSFW image hosting, but if you just wanted to look at an NSFW subreddit to see some images, this is going to make things more annoying.
So the release of Metal to the public was over 6 months after the release of Mantle.

But my point was that Apple couldn't use Mantle even if they wanted to, because it was proprietary.

<yowling about free markets and capitalism>

the profit motive is what has driven healthcare to what is possible today. if there is an uncoupling of health outcomes and profit motive, the solution is not to delete the profit motive! the government needs to enact only the necessary and sufficient regulation to realign making money with the desired results. avoid regulatory capture, make the information transparent and available.

i dont understand this demonization of capitalism. the world involved in (and adjacent to) capitalism is, by almost _every.single.measure_, vastly better than even as recently as 50 years ago. communist china sure didnt do that.

its capable of corruption! lets fix that corruption and not throw the baby out with the bathwater

public schools and subsidized, inflated, university tuition are examples of roads we dont want to travel down.
Agreed, which is why for profit companies should be kept as far away from healthcare as possible.
This reminds me of Scribblenauts. There was an interview with one of the devs at the E3 before it was released and he discussed how much time went into the game simply to pad the internal "dictionary" and conjure up not just things, but also make sure that those things could interact with other things (e.g. "bread" should be able to interact with "toaster" to make "toast").

I don't remember if it was the dev talking about his own team, or if he was talking about players interacting with the demo, but he mentioned that some people were attempting to summon a list of ingredients (flour, eggs, sugar, milk, etc.) and throw them into a bowl and then into a heat source to see if they could make cookies within the game.

Their calculator put me at 16.3 tons.

The biggest impact they calculate is driving an electric vehicle; but I doubt they take into account the additional CO2 footprint of a new vehicle.

My house is ineligible for solar panels, because it sits under trees. Reducing meat consumption by 30% would only cut emissions down by 0.3 tons.

The good news is, I can offset 100% of that by paying for tree planting in Kenya, for only $208/year. Which frankly sounds too good to be true.

I truly wonder what would happen if FB were forced to make all security and privacy settings default to tightest possible, and therefore users would have to see the settings and decide just how exposed they wanted to be...

Of course, FB would have to be forced into it by law, and they'd lobby hard against being the only company so burdened, so they law would only pass if it applied to every option in every software... and every company in the world would scream "But users will hate us! Our profits! oh my!"

No doubt a huge number of people would be outraged by that much workload forced on them, but I like that world.

As someone who has also done that, the most important thing in common is that they're programming languages. COBOL is a rigid and "square" language, I'm tempted to call its style "COBOLic".

Any language where the dots at the end of statements are crucial part of the logic flow can't be that similar to Python.
There are still plenty of abuses in managed care plans that I've seen (I'm closely related to several healthcare professionals working in home healthcare and in/outpatient service providers).

For example, often times, healthcare professionals are encouraged/pressured to report improvements during the managed care plan at ambiguous levels (lie) to continue regimes to the allowable extent before they're discharged. Those patients are frequently then readmitted for the same or other health problems after new hospital visits. Healthcare providers are often pressured to not report their judgement tells them a specific treatment program won't help a patient much in their professional opinion.

Ultimately, the incentive for continued treatment to maximize profit is still there, the approaches just change/adapt to fit within new rule systems.

It's really down to individual healthcare professionals to resist continual unethical business pressures concerned with profit over patient outcome which can put their employment/livelihood at risk if they don't have their own practice. This happens in large and small healthcare providers from my sample pool of 3 huge national providers, 3 local/regional hospitals, and several in home healthcare from varied business size.

The only leverage healthcare professionals have is that they're in such high demand and under supplied that they can often resist these pressures. If that changes, their hours are often reduced or they're replaced by people with more ethical flexibility.

So we (our society) still don't care about patient outcomes. We can pretend we do and often the healthcare professional working directly with you probably does care about your outcomes (most people aren't sociopaths) but they may have to frequently weight milking you and your insurance provider against their livelihoods which shouldn't be the case (healthcare will always have continual demand, pretty much guaranteed business).

I know in the twitter thread that went viral, most of the "Amazon workers" were actually satirical accounts, that kept ramping up the outrage.

The whole situation is shitty to be sure, and encouraging employees to defend you from Twitter mobs is stupid, but holy shit did a lot of people get baited hard during that whole ordeal.
Can you elaborate on this? I don't know about how they defended the Great Firewall (had to look up that acronym) And I was thinking about the utilitarian argument for the world... that argument sides with China on the surface.

From Webster, "Utiliatarianism" is the aim of action should be the largest possible balance of pleasure over pain or the greatest happiness of the greatest number.

China is the largest country by population in the world.
A very quick argument would be 'We have the most people, so anything that's good for our people is good for the world."
That thinking justifies ghettos - the minority would upset the majority, and the most pleasure for the majority is what utilitarianism is.

That has me worried - it's a simple argument that is wrong on deeper inspection. What do you think as a Chinese expat? What was CCP's argument for the Great Firewall?

Dicks sporting goods recently took a stand against firearms that raised the ire of some of its customer base. Tons of companies go out of their way to support political messages all the time. I'd say taking moral/political positions is very much a normal tactic these days in the business world.

Time will tell how it pans out, but my guess is that it isn't some sort of disaster. Most people seem apathetic to such messaging and for every person who decides to buy a chicken sandwich from Popeye's instead of Chik-fil-a in order to "fight hate" there will probably be another one or two who go out of their way to eat Chik-fil-a in order to "stick it to the man" or whatever.

I'm just curious when this phenomenon started. Has it always existed? It seems like a straightforward tactic for building brand loyalty (staking out a position on some sort of lifestyle issue).
Have you tried the impossible burger party? They sell the 'meat' in stores now. It's surprisingly good.

We have a similar four-part documentation strategy: Tutorial, Technical introduction pages, Auto-generated API, and Samples

Many people hate auto-generated API documentation because library authors do not write enough of it.

For example here are my project's auto-generated documentation from source code, for two classes:

https://gojs.net/latest/api/symbols/Diagram.html

https://gojs.net/latest/api/symbols/GraphObject.html

That's 1238 words and 1408 words before you even get to the constructor.

There should be a lot of information that comes out of the auto-generated API: What it is, what to know, different kinds of classes interact, and where to go next.

Then of course a primary tutorial: https://gojs.net/latest/learn/index.html

And then conceptual Intro pages: https://gojs.net/latest/intro/index.html (62 of them, covering everything from high level concepts to printing)

Then, since so many people learn by example, hundreds of samples, organized with pictures and tags for each, with an explanation and commented code: https://gojs.net/latest/samples/index.html
The issue there is with the mixing rates. While we won't affect the overall average dumping will create local zones of increased salinity, which can be a problem.
The tool parses out the bits that you're interested in. If you want to know what year the proverbial apple fell on Isaac Newton's head, you can get a biography and start reading, or you can Google and let the machine filter out the irrelevant bits.

If I'm looking at documentation, I want the inputs and outputs and a brief description of what it does. I care very little about the implementation, or I would write my own.
We have no data on the following:

a) How many warnings were not ignored by this pilot or others.

b) Whether this particular pilot was prone to being the 'pilot who called wolf'.

They didn't have all the data Facebook has though, just the data people explicitly granted them via the ACLs. That includes data they had access to view, but that's ok as it's the nature of social networking and communication. Once you send someone information, they can do with it as they please including share it with 3rd parties (unless you have some sort of contract saying that's forbidden).
Bingo. But we will still see more regulation implemented to attempt to resolve this.

Boeing has designed planes that have an INCREDIBLE safety record, particularly when flying in US regulated airspace.

Interesting that prison time is demanded here when a much more simple explanation is that this was an oversight by the pilots in the sim who didn't fully understand the issue was MCAS related.

Millions killed from opioid epidemics, thousands killed from violence and various preventable diseases, huge number of road fatalities do not result in prison time.

The safety record of aviation in the US should be applauded.
I do find the idea of traveling via a shipping vessel interesting. Unfortunately, they are not well advertised and the routes are extremely limited when compared to an international flight.

I can do direct from Texas to Tokyo in under 13 hours. I did see ten day routes from a couple of east coast ports. However, traveling this way from Texas doesn't seem viable.

Perhaps I should expand on the definition of viable. I intended the definition: capable of working, functioning, or developing adequately

Ten days stretches the credibility of viable in my humble opinion. Not a fan of Quora, but the site suggested I could go Houston to Chiba in 26 days. Round trip would be 52 days.

I'm currently doing two round trip international flights a year. Previously I was taking four.

Two round trips would be 104 days of traveling a year on a ship versus my current 52 hours on an airplane.

How does this distinguish healthcare from anything else?
Some of this background decision-making information can be included as developer documentation, whatever form that takes, e.g. as comments (usually for low-level) or sibling README file (usually higher-level).

Commit logs will have the greatest detail, but they also are the costliest to dig up, often requiring multiple rounds of `blame`. They are therefore most appropriate to include information pertinent at integration-time, namely code review context/justifications.

Merge commits (such as those created during typical PR/MR merges) have similar potential to include explanatory background, but at a coarser granularity, e.g. feature level.
I wholeheartedly agree. These are crimes that have resulted in hundreds of deaths.
