If the grocery store signs up with a new lettuce distributor, whose FDA paperwork is covered in Wite-Out but nobody at the store calls the FDA to see if it's legit, and who seems to have only been in the lettuce business for two weeks, and whose trucks are freshly painted, and whose proprietor looks a lot like the proprietor of a recently-disgraced lettuce distributor who was in trouble for peddling contaminated lettuce but THIS GUY wears a DIFFERENT HAT so it's definitely not him...

Then yes, the grocery store absolutely has been negligent.

As a consumer, it is not within my capability to find and verify the bona fides of the distributor. That information stops at the grocery store's back room. It is incumbent on the grocery store to do at least the most basic checks and act on them. I as the consumer am not buying lettuce from the distributor in the back room, I am buying it from the grocery store at the checkout lane up front.

Acting like nobody knew it was possible to get sick from dodgy lettuce, or like there was a whole health-and-safety regime to try to prevent that, and failing to diligently confirm that this distributor's safety certs were authentic, is the DEFINITION of negligence.

>When one of your 'advisors' is charged with making peace in the middle east (among other ridiculous responsibilities), is he really an advisor? Was Ivanka acting in an advisory role when she hosted meetings at the UN?

Kushner is the point man for the Middle East because Trump's attitude is that professional, full-time diplomats have consistently failed for 40 years, so why not try someone different? One of the prerequisites for such a role, arguably the most important one, is that both sides the envoy is mediating for know that said envoy has the president's trust.

As for his wife, again, there are no formal classes on "hosting meetings at the UN" at the Kennedy School or SIPA or Georgetown SFS, nor is there a "hosting meetings about women's rights at the UN" job description at State or anywhere in the executive branch (the existing US delegation to the UN's responsibilities are different). She either does a good job, or she doesn't and Trump sends someone else. Given that Ivanka has now performed the role over multiple years, apparently her father approves of how she's done.
Maybe that's a good mnemotechnic device at first, but it adds an indirection on top of a translation, which I think would be a bad habit to get from the start. I would argue that it's better to forget about the connexion the two words might have had in the past and embrace them as they are now. YMMV depending on your goals with learning the language.

I guess we're in ideology territory here. You know as well as I do that the word 'rent' does not refer to an exchange of services, but rather comes from money you extract through ownership of a thing - no matter the provenance.

People wouldn't mind free market radicalism so much if they were restricted to just those things in which a free market is possible. Otherwise, you can enjoy deciding which broadband provider you're going to choose, when there's only one set of cables serving your region - or any of the other great 'decisions' you can make when confronted with monopoly.

Or, you can nationalize, and give monopolies to an organization precisely designed to manage monopolies (primarily the monopoly on violence) in a way that's more or less livable.

We're straying away from the point here, though. I think it's obviously possible for companies to exist that serve no good whatsoever. Companies exist to make money. Unless there's an apriori link between some people making money and universal good that I'm unaware of, there's no way you can step around that. Therefore, making taxes zero will always be an unfair deal for some people - since there will be some companies that contribute nothing, and yet use resources and services provided by the government.

Obviously, you could have a mad-max style anarcho-capitalist system, or something, then all my concerns would be void, but probably soon, all your concerns would be too - and all of your neighbors, except that guy Benno, with the gun collection.

The third one is cost. You can essentially always beat the restaurant on cost, often by a lot, due to their overhead and desire to yield a profit for the owner. At home you supply the labor and eat the profit (so to speak). Your typical family will find it dramatically less expensive to eat in than to eat out.

The linked PDF seems to argue for the opposite. It suggests that "design & build" contracts tend to inflate costs, and countries with lower subway construction costs tend to separate design contracts from construction contracts.

I can get lit-element with no build process going to prototype something in a single .html file in probably 30 seconds. I don't think XCode/iOS developers can compete with the simplicity.

Take a look at the world of "unschooling", particularly the work by Peter Gray. We all have different style preferences when it comes to learning, and indeed each subject requires different models, sometimes many to get it right. When you remove the idea that you need a set curriculum that everyone follows and standards that you need to pass at a particular time in your life learning becomes a lot more pleasant and powerful. My kids and I learn for either the sheer enjoyment of it or because it will help us some a problem or usually both.
But it kinda did, tho. I really doubt the users understood the full extent of the data they were _actually_ sharing, and particularly that this data included data of all their friends as well.

Oops.

> In addition to memory usage, there’s warmup time. With JIT, the interpreter has to recognize that a method is called a lot and then take time to compile it. That means there’s a delay between when the program starts and when it gets to full speed.

Why not cache the compiled methods to make warmup a once-per-version delay? It would be a JIT/precompiled hybrid. Call it gradually compiled.

> On March 24, 2014, Eich was promoted to CEO of Mozilla Corporation. Some employees of Mozilla Foundation tweeted calls for his resignation, with reference to his donation of $1,000 to California Proposition 8, which called for the banning of same-sex marriage in California. Eich stood by his decision to fund the campaign, but wrote on his blog that he was sorry for “causing pain” and pledged to promote equality at Mozilla. Some of the activists created an online campaign against Eich, with online dating site OkCupid automatically displaying a message to Firefox users with information about Eich's donation, and suggesting that users switch to a different browser (although giving them a link to continue with Firefox). Others at the Mozilla Corporation spoke out on their blogs in his favor. Board members wanted him to stay in the company in a different role. On April 3, 2014, Eich resigned as CEO and left Mozilla; in his personal blog, he posted, "under the present circumstances, I cannot be an effective leader".
Which is an extraordinary statement which he doesn't explain.

cmd/ directories are normal. Hosting all the business logic for the whole package under cmd/ seems less normal.

You kind of need cmd/, because you can only have one main() in a package, and a package with a main() can't easily be imported into another package. That's why the directory exists, not (as I understand it) because there is some merit to burying code 3 directory levels deep.
If you can get an event that needs a wave above a certain height to trigger, you can make a gate by having input of waves a fraction of that height that, when they constructively interfere, exceed the threshold.

If your logic is based on wave interference, you may be able to get a lot of interesting behaviors even more useful than primitive logic gates.

Guys, here's a wild idea: let's have more cameras owned by individuals which will be used to track specifically politicians and law enforcement officials. Use facial recognition and gait analysis to identify them and analyze their mood,associations,behaviors,etc... Use high DPI long range cams where possible. Ask people to share their ring,etc...

I just don't know how to scare society enough. Maybe use this techs explicitly against specific demographics. Abuse it against democrats and republicans. Track and publish analysis of every trump supporter, bernie sanders supporter,minorities, I don't know just hit everyones sensitive sweet spots to show them "we can do this legally!!" Because the people that will profit from this will certainly not make their practice public enough to be visible by lawmakers and society at large.

The tech is moving magnitudes faster than the law.

Essentially use it against them in a very hostile way to force them to take this seriously.

>You are vastly overstating the perceived deficiency.

How so? There is no versioning support. That's it. I'm not sure how much more deficient you can get. Anti-versioning features?

>PostgreSQL gives you functions, views, rules for query writing.

Right, which requires an adhoc versioning mechanism, or coupling application + DB updates. Thankfully it was at least realized versioning your data made sense (MVCC), likely a result of how often problems occur trying to manually version it in your application logic with multiple arbitrary threads (read: humans, applications) operating on it, but somehow got lost on the rest of the system (where multiple arbitrary humans, applications fiddle with it).

>Plus it gives you ephemeral versions of all those so you don't have manage it separately from the client code.

Moving all of your database logic into your application code is very much a poor state of affairs, and defeats much of the purpose of offering functions, views, etc in the first place. Ideally, you want them to live for more than a single transaction, and be used by multiple applications, and presumably written & maintained by your DBA, who presumably knows the database engine, and its usage patterns, better than your application developer.

The ephemeral version is ideally a method of last resort (for one-off usecases); but if you want decent versioning tooling (eg git), this is your method of first resort.

Application developers learned this lesson decades ago. What I've never understood about databases is that despite the massive industry, usage, and ecosystem, their tooling is still stuck in the 80's.

Sadly the answer to this does not seem to depend on freedom or science.

We will see similar things happening in regards to climate, simply if absolute majority of people get convinced that it is an emergency.

With vaccines we have many times repeated experiment that not using the vaccine causes death, so majority of people support them. With climate change we do not have nearly the same level of confidence about the exact details of what is going to happen, and how exactly our actions are going to affect it, so only a minority supports it so far.

People talk a lot about the IO monad because it's one of the most complex monads in general use (and referred to as a monad by a major language and a lot of developers; there are a lot of things that can be considered monads, follow the monad laws, but no one bothers calling them monads).

Monads don't have anything to do with IO or avoiding side effects, they are about composing/combining operations. At heart, the monad laws basically state that if you have two puzzle pieces with similar edges you can snap them together and start thinking about them as a larger puzzle piece in the same puzzle, and that eventually when you are done snapping together pieces you can admire whatever image they form as a result.

The fact that people talk a lot about the IO Monad in Haskell was that it was a jigsaw puzzle that solved a lot of problems in early Haskell, and led to a lot of exploration in monads.
I fully agree with this.

It’s not practical. Patients on ECMO require anticoagulation, as do patients on cardiopulmonary bypass. This is a problem common to all systems which expose blood to foreign surfaces and pass it through pumps. Your hypothetical anticoagulated soldier with such a pump would bleed out lickety-split were they to suffer as much as a minor cut.

Also, such a system would likely require giant cannulae placed in rather inconvenient places, e.g., the neck, thigh, or chest, as in ECMO. That would limit movement significantly.

Android Devs 650+ impacted by Google Play indexing bug
Our Pomodoro Focus Timer, DayNinja https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.envisageapps.dayninja has been published for over 7 days now and still does not appear in search results. If you search “DayNinja” or the package name in Google Play “com.envisageapps.dayninja” it won’t appear. We publish many apps and this has never happened in all the years of our business. I tired support chats over the last week which just were a waste of hours debating and me insisting that this is a fault. They won’t listen and there is no path to escalate.

In frustration started digging around the web this morning and found this:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/15162444?msgid=15162444

Many other developers are impacted dating back to September!

I just finished another support chat bringing the thread to their attention, and support would not acknowledge it as a known issue or offer any idea of if/when they will resolve it.
Their only suggestion was to get reviews and downloads?!? But this is not an ASO issue, no other app that appears in the results is on competing terms with our apps' name, we have always been able to search on the package name or exact name of the app and have it appear as the first result. In this case we do not appear at all.. (Sorry I am venting here! just really frustrated)

...Same app in Apple App Store https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dayninja-focus-timer-to-do-task-list-mindful/id1163539295 appeared in <24hrs using just the app name and is now ranking on other terms.

In my experience, Google Play is going down hill. A client app a couple of months ago took over a week to approve. Apple takes 24hrs pretty consistently now, to at least get a reply. With google nothing, and now this.

Please download DayNinja by the direct link and rate it. I'd like to test if votes and downloads do make an impact, as the way things are right now I don't know what to tell clients about when their app will appear.

If this is the new status for app publishing then there is no hope of having an app even appear without massive budgets for Ads.
