So you are not happy with the low quality and fraudulent items, but you are OK with items literally pulled out of a dumpster? I personally don't really want either.
You're quoting someone who clearly has innumeracy issues and no business practicing medicine.

Type II diabetes kills 1.5 MM people annually ( if Judy were to get out a calculator, she would find that this is a smidgen lower than the "so high" 14k gun homicides per annum ), is an actual disease, and is nearly completely preventable.

If Judy Schaechter, MD doesn't know this, then it calls into question her ability to practice medicine.

Incidentally, the medical errors caused by medical staff who can't do basic math, as Judy clearly cannot, kills another quarter million annually in the US.

>I don't feel like my employer is a rival or an enemy; I feel like they are a partner in our mutual goal to make a lot of money.

It's hard to concevive of a more asymmetrical partnership, and a partnership in which one party uses all their power, legally and socially, to increase the intensity and duration of work, and dictates the method in which it is done.
Most transit maps will generally try to preserve direction, though, in that A east of B will not all of a sudden wind up northeast or north of B. There are exceptions but the amount of directional liberties is fairly small on a standard map.

A significant portion of the NYC map is not only spatially but directionally disoriented, which is just confusing. Especially since New Yorkers have a good grasp of the relative directions of things due to the fact that the grid is so prevalent.
You misinterpreted the above commenter. The suggestion is to disallow self-signed contexts access cookies set in authoritative contexts.
Why would it be high overhead if work is only stolen when a core has run out of work?
Bingo. Fighting it would just preserve the Streisand effect. There doesn't appear to have been any material impact from where I sit, and there haven't been any further stories along the same lines.
Yeah, this. The problem is not that it's trash, the problem is that its provenance is not being disclosed.
Ewww. Well that's good to know.
security is notoriously asymmetric and a continuous arms race, so it's rarely a case of "allowing it to happen". There is a case to be made for making it unprofitable for hackers to run such operations. The law here does the opposite by making it more lucrative.

i think the best thing to do is to minimize sensitive data completely, no logs no nothing. But then you move the burden of security to the end user (e.g. they 'll have to re-enter their credit card every time), which is probably higher risk.
Is the interest rate that high in the US?

If you negotiate with a couple of banks in Sweden you can easily get sub 1% (0.79% is what I seem to be able to get). Heck I just checked my bank and I can even get a line of credit up to 1M SEK at 1.74% for up to 50% of my portfolio without any property as security.

To echo @mrob's comment (not sure why they've been downvoted), relying on user-understanding of HTTP -vs- HTTPS is considered a failed experiment, and actively discouraged.

> take a guess at how this kind of PR will do to amazon's sales/revenue and brand

My guess, sadly, is that it will round to nothing. Most likely the sheer volume of the bottom end of the mass market is worth a lot more to Amazon than elite users who post comments like these on forums like this. We may have been critical as early adopters but now have outlived our usefulness.

I hope that's not true, but that's why I asked the question: what evidence is there? Maybe it's too early to see anything more than assorted anecdotes, but it's hard to know what those objectively amount to in an operation of Amazon's scale.
I think something that could draw in a LOT of people -- and be an awesome STEM tool -- would be non-cost-prohibitive VHF and UHF SDR radios that can be easily controlled wirelessly (Bluetooth, WiFi, or both) and allow for any number of modulations from standard FM as is used on 2m/70cm, analog slow-scan TV, digital TV, digital voice, data and more. Heck, the creation of a handshake protocol that starts as AX.25 and the stations identify a switch-to protocol would be great, and since it's digital and we're assuming SDR, that handshake could be "Oh, you don't have the ABC123XYZ codec? I'll send it to you now!" Yes... trusting a CODEC from an unverified source could be dangerous but that's part of the fun of experimentation!

GCP can seriously be #1 because their kubernetes platform and cloud platform is much better than other cloud providers I have used. I started off with their Google Cloud Engine (?) and Big Table they provided and even though it was not really pure Java, I loved it.

And then they pulled the plug on my accounts because some of my android apps had "likeness or similarity to other apps" which I have absolutely no idea what it meant. Then they pulled the plugs on my colleague's account because of equally vague reason.

It was time for me to give up GCP forever.

No reason you couldn't update the protocol to improve some things if you wanted to invest in it somewhat seriously.
Ugh, I was trying to get a good comparison of translations, but too bad I guess.

Yeah I mean, there's no question ideographic languages have more meaning per character than alphabetic languages. But other comparisons and considerations aren't as obvious:

- how do ideographic languages compare with each other?

- do people using ideographic languages write more?

- are ideographic languages as effective at compression as general (or special) compression algorithms?

Moving up the conceptual ladder from "average bytes per codepoint" to "average size of encoded tweet" (for example) is a big leap is all I'm saying.

Funny enough last time I needed to do an Amazon return it was the easiest thing ever: they take returns now at Whole Foods locations so all I had to do was go to the cashier at the grocer around the corner. The Whole Foods acquisition is still an odd choice in my opinion for Amazon, but this was a great move.
One big problem with public transportation is that most systems are not very accessible to newcomers so people often revert back to car because it’s easier (at least i do). It would be nice to have an app that for systems worldwide can tell you how to get from point A to point B at a certain time, how to buy tickets, where stations are and so on. So far google maps is the best from what I have seen but it still isn’t prefect.

Swift does have checked exceptions too (at least by my understanding of the term "checked exception"). In general I think Swift is more thoughtfully and elegantly designed than Kotlin, people usually say that they're very similar but I find Swift more pleasant read and write.

However, the consistency of ZFC can be proved in strongly-typed higher-order theories that subsume ZFC.
They're not wrong, but neither are you. As a programmer who doesn't write for customers, I'll say, yeah it's sometimes true. But if I were in the business of writing software for customers, I would word that very differently. The issue described is a challenge in said industry, and being good at navigating that problem is a quality that separates the great from the mediocre. Describing that as "getting in the way" ignores the skill and pride in taking on that challenge.

Actually I'm not even sure. I have a little experience with freelance web development around 2007 (browser war veteran), and I found navigating between customers expectations and "good code" to not be hard at all. I did read a lot of blogs on webdev (including the business side of it, contracts and expectation management, etc) so I probably got some great advice somewhere[0]. Reading about it actually got me more enthusiastic about tackling the problem as well as I could. But usually the details that made it good code or not were technical details that I didn't bother them with. Or they were things I could sell; browser compatibility and accessibility (back then I could use the line "Google is your most important blind user" -- now no longer true).

Of course I am aware that as a freelancer, I enjoyed a lot of freedoms that you don't always get as a programmer-for-customers in different business environments. But if that's the case, that really proves it's not the customers that get in the way, but the institution.

Pythonic News – HN Clone
I think there is something to be said for "muscle memory". Tog was testing on relatively inexperienced users. Expert Vim and Emacs users do not take two seconds to decide which key to press, and we have real corpuses of computer interaction data which couldn't exist if the two-second figure was a fast rule -- specifically, StarCraft game logs. A lot of mousing happens in StarCraft, but a lot of keyboarding happens too, and lots of productive APM just wouldn't be possible if Tog's observations were a fast rule for all users.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it an antifeature--in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a common use is to allow people to maintain multiple accounts on the same service with one email. It isn't standard, but it's not in violation of any standard--nothing says that the server must store each distinct valid email in a separate mailbox with its own login. Many servers implement "catchall" emails or aliases which result in the same thing, distinct addresses going to the same mailbox.

What is a problem, and what is non-standards-compliant, is GitHub incorrectly assuming that all mail providers will do this when many do not. It would be no different from assuming that "admin" and "postmaster" go the same mailbox because that's the way a lot of software is configured.
I had a bit of prior knowledge (radios are a big part of emergency services), but I took the Tech test on a whim (literally walked into a library for an entirely unrelated reason and noticed they were hosting an exam).

Meh. You can’t use string search to find patterns in wasm files per se. You can look for byte equivalence in functions (or whatever they’re called in wasm.) Thinking of wasm as compiles machine code isn’t quite right (IMO) as it more closely resembles a serialized abstract syntax tree.

Take a look at your employment contract (you'll need this anyway when you talk to a lawyer). Many contracts will have clauses about outside work/IP rights etc. The enforcement of these clauses depend on your location (and to some extent Google's). To that end, it would be useful to mention approximately where you're based (NYC, CA, Seattle, etc), especially to garner useful lawyer recommendations.

If/when you do moonlight, make sure that you do NOT use company assets to do so. Do NOT use your corporate issue laptop or your corporate email. Typically anything created using company assets is considered company-owned. Also anything that directly competes with Google is dicey.

Dog Posts to Make This Week Extra Goob
What I'm getting at is that Rand's "way of saying" is not simply a metaphor, but one which comes with certain implications and that those implications matter to the entire essay.

The first implication is I, as an employee, should keep my shields up. It sounds dutiful. If Ensign Crusher didn't have the shields up, that's pretty bad news.

The second implication is that it is defensive. It does not have to be defensive but if you select "shield" as your metaphor, you're bringing "defensive" along for the ride. To suggest the use of a shield without the defensive concept is disingenuous at best.

Both of these implications are distractions from the "what did I do as an employer do wrong?" and the essay as a whole would be cleaner and more honest without the shield in the essay or the title.

Listen to this part: "The moment happened a long time ago when you received a random email from a good friend who asked ..." No. That did not happen.

He hits it again: "The moment happened the instant you decided, 'What the hell? I haven’t seen Don in months and it’d be good to see him.'" Again, that's not the moment.

He does it again: "When you are indirectly asked to lower your shields ..." Blame again on the employee.

All of this is a distraction from the actual moment of employers making that final poor decision. He keeps using "you" (as an employee) rather than "what did the employer do?"

Cross out every bit about shields and refocus the essay on employer mistakes, it is fine. But he follows that hint of acknowledgement ("If I’m sitting here talking with you it means two things: I don’t want you to leave and, to the best of my knowledge, you didn’t want to leave either but here you are leaving. It didn’t just happen.") with an impulse to push it back on the employee (" You chose. Maybe you weren’t looking, but once your shields dropped, you started looking."

It's a metaphor that leads to a dishonest way of thinking about the situation he, as an employer, is in. Someone else chose, they dropped their shields because they were indirectly asked, and maybe I as a boss was involved somehow but the choice was still the employee's and all because they, in a momentary lapse of vigilance, dropped their shields.

That's what I find rather grating about this essay.
