But that's precisely what makes Google "good at ads." They built the firehose. Own a destination where billions of people go everyday, find a way to measure their intent, serve my information to them. That = fantastic at ads.
I don't buy this headline at all, the author does not prove there are actual experts behind this story at all...

The primary story used here is that a sagging arena roof was consistently deemed safe by "engineers" (no proof of expertise provided) based upon their calculations...and this is somehow a "dark side" of expertise? It reads much more like ineptitude; that'd be like any coder here constantly ignoring terrible performance and numerous bugs and claiming their architecture is just fine.
To throw some numbers at it:

The sun's escape velocity is about 42 km/s. Earth's orbital velocity is about 30km/s.

To go straight from Earth to the sun, you'd need to shed almost all that speed, meaning you'd need to accelerate by nearly 30km/s. To leave the solar system, you'd only need to accelerate by about 12km/s.

That said, as someone else pointed out, there's an interesting irony: Since objects closer to the sun orbit faster than ones that are far away, the cost to go to the sun is generally higher the closer you are. (The exception is if you're already more-or-less on a collision course.) So, if you've got the time, it's cheaper to go away first. You can think of it as sort of a way of using the sun's gravity to do most the work of slowing you down.

If we replace "toward the sun" with "away from earth", you'd have to get to a bit over 11km/s relative to earth. From geostationary orbit (3ish km/s), that's kind of expensive. Again with the counter-intuitive, it's actually cheaper to get away from Earth from low earth orbit, where you'd be starting from a speed of more like 7km/s.

This all starts feeling really intuitive after a couple hours of playing Kerbal Space Program. :)

PTSD has long been associated with combat stress, and has gone by various names over time -- "shell shock", "combat fatigue", even "nostalgia" origially referred to a mental disability.

Burnout or occupational stress, now being recongised as a disorder by the WHO, seems to me strongly similar. And the first documented description of it comes not from those directly exposed to stress, but in trying to address it -- staff and volunteers at a free clinic for drug addicts, in 1974, by Henry Freudenberger.

https://spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1540...

For both PTSD and burnout, the failure of those not experiencing it to grasp and understand the severity, complexity, causes, and sheer insidiousness of the condition is a large part of the frustration of experiencing it.

The idea that burnout is a form of PTSD has occurred to me. This being the Internet, there are others who argue similarly, though I don't know that we're correct:

https://academic.oup.com/occmed/article-abstract/66/1/32/275...

With Internet gore sites, among other elements:

- You have agency over whether or not you're going to be exposed.

- You can chose to stop viewing, without consequences (generaly).

- You can block the sites entirely, in many cases, through various screening or filtering tools (PiHole, dansguardian, Squid Proxy, various parental control tools, etc.)

Content moderators are looking at what they're faced with, all day, every day, day in and day out, and their jobs, livelihood, rent/mortgage, food, and family depend on this.

That's a wholly different environment than occasionally seeing a gaped anus.
Hmm, don't really need the date. Git has `--oneline` to print things condense, though I guess you wanted an example of custom formatting.

Removing features from a programming language is almost impossible; it breaks backwards compatibility and so is a hard barrier to upgrading from the old version. Note the 12-year-and-counting struggle to adopt Python 3, or the fact that Perl 6 developers gave up completely trying to get people to upgrade from Perl 5 and just rebranded it as a new language instead.

C++ has opted to avoid those struggles by never removing features; you can disagree with that decision but it was done for good reasons.
Correct. I mis-spoke. I guess I picked up on 'late merge' term from someone else and that's how I call it. But indeed I meant a last-minute lane change.

Folks commenting on this, thanks for the correction but also you should have picked up from the context (of a tornado roundabout) that I was referring to a lane change.
I'm not a lawyer, but it looks like the CDC pays (or at least has rules allowing them to pay) for some stuff that insurance doesn't cover. But you may still have to pay deductibles.

This page has a lot of good info:

https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2017-00615

Particularly the "Payment for Care and Treatment" discussion here, which talks about public comments and even gets into the ethics of what you can make someone pay for compulsory treatment or isolation:

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/19/2017-00...

And the rules in 70.13 and 71.30 here and here:

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/19/2017-00...

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/19/2017-00...

Excerpt from the rules in 70.13 (which I think covers domestic stuff):

> Director may authorize payment ... Payment shall be secondary ... after all third-party payers have made payment in satisfaction of their obligations ... For quarantinable communicable diseases, payment shall be limited to costs for services and items reasonable and necessary for the care and treatment of the individual or group for the time period beginning when the Director refers the individual or group to the hospital or medical facility and ends when, as determined by the Director, the period of apprehension, quarantine, isolation, or conditional release expires.

> IPv6 once widely implemented might solve the problem, since new fixed IPv4 addresses are unobtanium for non corporate networks; I'm not holding my breath though.

I have this strange feeling that we (the general public) are, in some manner, being segregated away from full implementation if IPv6 for precisely this reason.

That the limitations of IPv4 have benefitted the centralization of our internet access; IPv6, due to its sheer size of address space, turns that space into a commodity that is easily shared. ISPs would (or should) cease to be "gateways" and instead become mere infrastructure.

Assuming efficient network bandwidth allocation, it would allow for easy p2p or "peering"-like arrangements, which isn't easy or as scalable with IPv4 today.

But of course, that isn't in their business interest.

I can't think of any reason why IPv6 isn't "fully deployed" today; I'm sure there's a lot of legacy hardware out there that doesn't support it, but I would think it would be a minority amount in the whole "grand scheme" of the internet. Certainly the "end points" - our workstations and phones and such - are all IPv6 capable today. There's no real good reason for the rest of it not to be - except for control over access.

Just my opinion, of course...
Zeitgeist: Dependency Management for DevOps
Some options:

a) Also using competition, prices and money, but with factories, companies and lands organized by worker's cooperatives, with the profit shared according with some logic not based in mere property.

b) Using only prices and money while keeping updated data about production and consumption, and updating prices based in these data. Perhaps easier with modern technology than in the past. The information about these things can propagate in wires and communication means like the other kind of information that the society needs.

Apple Maps has replaced Google Maps for me. I’ve been trying to move away from Google and this has been an easy one. I don’t notice the difference most of the time. When I do, it’s because I’ve pulled up Google Maps by accident and it’s cluttered and spammy.
I'm familiar with the philosophy of thermodynamics and don't object. However, there are many instances we sentient beings encounter where perception and reality blur. We don't have access to objective truth, so it is noble to willfully alter one's own subjective reality. A common example in the personal narrative of a human being is forgiving the people of one's past who subjected us to the difficulties which made us who we are. Here one may choose independence of one's own previous perception of what one thought was a fact, and no longer have one's future actions dictated by it.

Freedom is not an absolute.

Neither did Google back in the early 2000s. But people still used it and loved it. I would say DDG2019=Google2007 or better in terms of search quality.

Instead of thinking that I must use the best search engine, regardless of the ethics of its business model; think that I will use the good enough search engine from among those with ethical business models.

Edit: I would additionally like to add that Google's search quality peaked early to mid 2010s, so DDG is not far from peak known search engine quality.
We actually discovered that the CPU increase was not caused by the detection, but rather by the CSS animation of the SVG moving around.

It turns out that the detection itself is very fast and lightweight, so there was no need to optimize (background workers would've been a good idea though).

We somewhat optimized the CSS animation, but it's still not where we'd like to be... if anyone on here knows how to improve CSS animation performance beyond dropping frame rate / shortening the animation, I'd love to know. Tried some obvious things (z index, will-change).
This is just an amazing game.

I still play it quite regularly. I have an old Mac mini in a back room that I keep explicitly for that purpose. When the original machine gave up the ghost, I shelled out a couple of hundred bucks for a "new" obsolete mac mini just to be able to keep playing.

And I will do it again when this one dies. Such a great game. I also play Civ II on this machine occasionally.

Part of the magic is how simple the game play is relative to more modern games.
> What would your goal be?

Essentially to provide a service similar to Facebook's core offering with a focus on maximising how useful the service is to you instead of how valuable your data is to me. This is why I'd prefer for users to pay a small flat fee and I can just focus on making features people want.

> I have no reason that your product/compny wouldn't just turn into another Facebook.

This is true for now. I have been exploring ideas of setting up the site as a non-profit of some kind or a foundation etc. At the moment this area needs exploring in more detail.

> The whole reason Facebook is evil is they can be since they have full control of the software and your data

Sort of yes. Lot's of companies have (comparable) positions of power while being subjectively less or not evil at all. But the question of becoming evil over time still stands. I'm not of the opinion that software that users run themselves will have any of the adoption required to dislodge something like Facebook and so is mostly a distraction I think. I do think these kind of federated networks will do well mind you, just not for what people use Facebook for. I'm happy to be proven wrong on this front though.
Google trying to guess everything I was doing before me is what finally broke me from them. The day (not terrible long ago) I started typing an email in gmail and they were auto-typing entire sentences for me I lost it. I don't need an algorithm to help dictate my sentence structure. I can do that on me own.

I find it amazing that people are trying to justify screens in any way. Just because a game says is "educational" it's not. Similar to the way "diet" soda keeps you skinny. Regardless of research, people want to believe they're not wrong and try to justify that certain kinds of screen time are ok.

I used to love Masters of Orion II; I would play as the Psilons, get a ridiculous technological advantage, and produce massive death-star like Dreadnought ships that could vaporize any target or planet in one mega-beam.

The game had a flaw, though. The AI opponents would mass up hundreds of zergling-like very weak ships, and they would EACH get a turn in combat. So my 4 dreadnoughts would wipe 4 of their ships, then 296 enemies would fire individually and miss onto my mega-shields...then they'd be down to 292 after my turn...then 292 misses...and I'd leave the game for 3 hours until the battle finished.
yes that's exactly what I'm saying... (puzzled)

When using the .uuid property, flakes will occasionally collide with e.g. UUIDv1, UUIDv4, and UUIDv5 – to mention a few regularly encountered UUID versions – but it won't make any sense to try to parse the information then (except, perhaps for v4).

Does the UUID specs have a version number that flakes could “naturally” belong to?
There is a fair bit to unpack or interpret in the phrase "be successful in".
Google is better. Bug DDG is good enough for 98% of what I need. Searching is mostly finding the right website, or an explanation of a specific problem. Sometimes I have a search query that doesn't give any usable results with DDG, and then Google comes to rescue. That happens about once a month.
I don't meant to be whiny but it's interesting how ineffective this would be for certain groups of people. Imagine a woman showing up in sweatpants and no makeup or a black guy wearing basketball shorts, white socks and Nike slides.

I understand that every room of people is different, and that some might react the exact same way to all three, but I'm skeptical.
At these orbital heights, there is no atmosphere for drag effects, so adding energy to move to a slightly higher orbit, outside of true geosync altitude, is a permanent change.

Low Earth orbits do have atmospheric drag issues, and those items need to have fuel to replace lost velocity and restore the correct orbit.

The ISS page has a neat table of orbital height over time where you can see the burns to 'jack it back up'.
Having every single user run and manage their own software or pay another service to run it for them doesn't seem practical or efficient to me but I would be interested in ideas to the contrary.
The snapshots already deliver your desired functionality. This dumps it as a different format. In fact, it probably depends on restoring the snapshot to a database in order to implement this format change.

I think this is a replacement for rolling your own database exports for analytics applications with Sqoop or Spark.

* Some of that skew might be their algorithm noticing that the great unwashed masses are looking for ecommerce*

Not necessarily. The great unwashed masses may not be searching for ecommerce, but people not searching for ecommerce may not be monetizable.

Let's say we run a basketball web site that has a search engine. People sometimes type the word "travel" into the search bar.

We can show them results related to the rules violation of "travelling," and/or results related to physical travel such as "trusted partners" who provide charter trips to playoff games.

It could be that we know that 90% of the searches for the word "travel" are for the rules violation. But the remaining 10% are the ones that click on ads. And we get a kickback when someone clicks on an ad on our site.

If all we care about is the web site's revenue, we might choose to prioritize showing travel to basketball games, even though we know it's only relevant for 10% of the users who query the word "travel."

It may only be 10% of our users, but it's 100% of our revenue from keyword searches for "travel." So we show the monetizable results, and maybe--if we are feeling generous--we'll show a little line, "Showing results for travel to games. Click here to search for travel (violation)."

--

TL;DR: We don't need to assume that Google is trying to provide good search results for everyone. They might be trying to provide the results that maximize their immediate revenue.

At my employer, engineers at every level are accountable for their work's business impact more than anything else. It is always your responsibility to understand and be convinced of the value of what you're doing, and to escalate your concerns or transfer out of the team if you're not. "The product requirements were ill-conceived but I executed them well" will not save you at performance review time, even if you're a new grad.

A competent PM has considered these questions carefully, and most of their thinking should be written down and circulated before the project starts. They will happily discuss lingering questions with anyone interested.
I've worked on a similar service (targeted to job hunters) and have spent a lot of time researching the broader market for it.

It turns out there are some problems.

One is the pay-to-play problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_to_play that opens up all sorts of ethical issues. Consequently, many companies prohibit their execs from entering into arrangements like this.

Even beyond that, bypassing the traditional gatekeeping methods through a cash payment is exactly that -- a bypass method.

And assuming those traditional gatekeeping methods are in place to protect the executive's time and the company's reputation, it's just not something that a lot of truly powerful and smart execs will be on board with.

That doesn't mean there aren't a lot of expert-as-a-service consulting companies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_as_a_service but generally their experts only perform consulting, rather than letting you pay to pitch them your product.
