Hold on.

You don’t provide LinkedIn credentials in any way to me or to my website. You use it to authorize with LinkedIn (similar way, you can authorize with Facebook, Github, Google, Twitter, and other OAuth platforms).

The only thing that my website can read (and for very limited amount of time):

- Your email address,
- First name and last name,
- Unique LinkedIn ID,
- LinkedIn profile photo URL.

That is it. There is no write permission for anything. This authentication token doesn’t allow anyone to log in into your LinkedIn account.

This type of technology is called an Authentication Provider, and is used to authenticate you on my website (not on LinkedIn).

However, when the "store" part - for example you want to be able to stream historical data again, or interact with the data in different ways - is most important I have recommended HBase (+ Phoenix) as a better solution in the past.

"Why do you need me to name a person impacted by cancel culture?

Because you lied to push a biased and false political narrative, and when challenged, you admitted it. I wanted you to substantiate your beliefs because I knew you had fallen for bad propaganda, and I hoped that by demanding evidence, you would re-evaluate your biased position, realize it was not founded on reality or evidence, and grow as a person. I hoped in some small way to cure this propaganda infection, and inoculate you against future attacks on your concept of reality. Obviously, that failed.

P.S. if you think everyone in the public is millionaires only, you live an extremely ignorant or privileged life. Almost none of the politicians, news reporters, actors on television, athletes are millionaires. It's very rare to be a millionaire and only the top of the top are. The vast majority of everyone you see on television or read on the internet are not a millionaires.

If you think Youtube is a grinder, check out College Football and the NFL. See how many kids give their bodies, their health, their lives and only 1/1000 even make it, and of that number, generally only 1/100 will sign a major million+ contract.

Want another example? Check out YCombinator, the culture of over-work, hackers, start-ups, entrepreneurs, where young folks are killing themselves to find a billionaire to fund them. Almost none of them will succeed, but they're motivated by the image of a tiny number of rare successes.

The world is full of young people giving 150% effort for paltry returns on their time investment all to enrich entrenched oligarchs/oligopolies. Youtube isn't the worst, it isn't an outlier, and there are far more important and dangerous systems than youtube.

Does it matter? The laws are what they are. Uber may or may not have a good argument that some of the laws in some of the places are wrong, but they didn't present it. They didn't bothered to work from within the system, or even to address it. They just show up everywhere and ignore the local regulations.

Personally, I do believe most of the intellectual property laws range from bad to wrong to batshit insane, but I don't start a company whose main business model is violating these laws, and using investor money to keep the enforcement at bay.

...there are plenty of situations that will render your social network useless, for example most of your network might be academics and you might have decided to leave academia.

(So: the jobs you would want to apply for are with hiring managers that your friends don't know and have no influence over and if they did, they would use the opportunity for themselves rather than someone else). -- In my experience, networking just doesn't work as well as business school ideology would have you believe it does for various reasons that I'm going to try to sum up by quoting a Groucho Marx joke: "I'd never join a club that would have someone like me for a member."

As you said that was a recovered capsule from an ocean landing that they were testing. SpaceX will not be using recovered capsules for crewed missions.

To be fair they have not stated why it exploded. If it was damage during landing or retrieval then oh well. It could be a design flaw.

Why is a child that young on the internet in the first place? Nobody under 13 should have access.
It’s really not. If you’re implementing a language runtime for language X, and the runtime is written in C, then writing the X GC actually means “writing a GC in C, for the subset of C allocations that represent X allocations.”

E.g. Python objects are represented as PyObject values in CPython. Saying that Python is garbage collected is equivalent to saying PyObjects are garbage collected. Sure enough, PyObject contains the ref count necessary for its GC.
(Author here) The project started by taking the cuckoo filter source code (which happens to be written in C++), and extend it. A lot of code comes from that conversion. Other implementations (Morton, CQF) are also written in C++. I write Java normally, so C++ code is not my strength, but C++ was needed to be able to compare with others. A Rust version would be nice!

Also.. next BugJail beta will have SQL queries against captured program execution (select * from field_write join method_call...) to test hypothesis about runtime behavior.

One thing I've always wondered about these early hominins is whether there was a large enough variety in any of them that we find different races within a species.

Maybe that is a dumb question, or just complex to answer. I've just always wondered because some homo sapiens look wildly different from each other. I know it's because we've spread out so much, and had a long time to do so. But I read things about the denisovans being here or there for a very long span of time. It's hard to imagine that they didn't at least have occasional mutations that lead to interesting features.
That's a fair and valid point. I should have expanded on the list of possible factors to include living in a "bad" environment in general, where "bad" can be defined by a huge number of things, including poverty, hopelessness, and a million other things to numerous to mention... other than the one single factor of "air pollution" that this article suggests is the reason for depression and suicide. That was, after all, the point of my comment, in case you missed it; that idea which the article seems to promote - that air pollution causes suicide - is highly questionable.

This seems like a bad idea. Aren't you concerned this will lower the quality and accuracy of submissions? I know when some website forces me to put in details I don't think it needs I put in garbage.

Also you're asking people to submit data when they have no idea what data you already have. Are they first to submit?

This reminds me of Auto generated pages with no content or no answer yet that's not clear from a Google SERP. You get the "helpful" message like "be the first to post X". I actually wish Google would downrank questions with no answers and empty wiki pages.

It smacks of clickbait is what I'm getting at. If you measure it you'll probably find your bounce rate is really high.
Oof, Boeing can't catch a break.

Still, even if it borked this is still a fairly monumental step in the development. Getting stuff into space isn't all that easy and there's a lot that can go wrong even if you successfully launch something, I'm sure they'll gather a ton of actionable data and fix it in the next attempt.

With only 20-ish milliseconds to load, parse, and execute, the size difference disappears into the noise and is irrelevant. In addition, that difference definitely does NOT scale. As you add more components, the ration of component to framework becomes larger and larger as the internal wiring is used over and over again. All those things in the framework have to be re-created quite often in svelte. Even if Svelte could fit all its component changes into the same area as a React-style component (which I doubt), that extra 9 or 21kb would still disappear into irrelevance.
I don't believe this can be ever solved. I think the best thing that can be done is wait 1-2 generations; by then nobody will believe anything they see in the media or in social networks.
Strange how we so easily forget the rampant slavery, killing, and removal of human rights by the muslim caliphates easily under 200 years ago.

That would indeed go quite some distance in explaining it in itself.

Although I'm sure the idea of hitting an already bogged-down reviewer at peak season in the name of getting something perhaps hastily put together to publish, in avoiding perish, has crossed the minds of a few. Indeed, if it can cross the mind of a decidedly average non-academic such as myself, I'm almost certain it has for my intellectual and academic betters.

As an interviewee it strikes me as odd you'd just ask your interviewer how you did during the interview. Seems like they're just assuming they did bad and didn't get it.

I'd like to know as well. At my work we had to partner with a major bank and they demanded a fully signed (sigh) client certificate for the integration. The way their API works means that we have to do a planned hard-cutover before the certificate expires. There's a 60% chance that we'll have trouble reaching out to the right people when the time comes.
