Gracias for the information. I had to look up biologic medicine to understand what the difference is with other drugs like say acetaminophen. This article from forbes laid it out [1].

TLDR:

1) Biologic / large molecule drugs (insulin) are much harder to produce than small molecule drugs like acetaminophen.

2) The FDA thus requires a lengthly, costly approval process to make generic large-molecule drugs. And since often these drugs are not atom-by-atom the same like small
molecule drugs, they are referred to as "bio-similar"

3) Additionally- though least clear from the article, while the patent on a large molecule drug does expire after 20 years in the same way as small-molecule drugs, it appears that the larger-molecule gives a wider area to patents that can be applied to it. The article hints at, but does not make explicit, a mechanism for "evergreening" as I tried to clarify elsewhere in these comments.

Anyways, thought I'd write it up the TLDR because this background info would have been useful to know prior to engaging in this comment section.

Gracias again

Yes, thanks. That ability definitely does give me a bit of comfort in case Julia is missing something. I plan not to use it though. When you use it, it’s actually running python, so same speed and such.
How does the functionality compare, though? With ELK, you have a variety of options for monitoring (I have personal experience with Kibana, Grafana, and the API) and visualizing. You explicitly say “rsyslog and grep”; do you build dashboard systems on top of grep? What does the performance look like? How many dashboards does that scale to?

What’s your strategy for availability?

CS 007: Personal Finance for Engineers
I'm very curious to know where you got this strange notion that MapReduce is "a technology/paradigm that stopped being used a decade ago". I barely knew what MapReduce was in 2010, and didn't touch my first Hadoop cluster until late 2012. Every place I have worked since has had a Hadoop cluster or two.

I think my biggest problem with all of this is the word "caught". Why, still in 2020, is there no requirement for software/websites to disclose the information they keep and the information they sell to the end user? Is it secretly there deep in some terms of service? Nobody would ever plaster "we sell your data" on their front page, but once we start shining a light on it, maybe companies will see how much people care.
I'm guessing that the implication was that Kimball's dimensional modeling techniques (so, in a nutshell, snowflake and star schemata) will get the job done in almost any case.

I'm not sure I would 100% agree with that - e.g., denormalization, while useful for many things, isn't always your best option. But I would say that that there are a lot of tools in the box, and that is absolutely one of the critical ones to know.

You are correct, and I will fix it. The goal here was to encourage recursion and assuage fears of recursion coming from other languages: if I remember correctly, Standard ML does define semantics around 'expansive expressions' which make them /safer/ than I think most imperative programmers (my targeted audience) would expect, but this particular example would throw an exception.

To fix it, I will rewrite this section to say that the standard requires optimising /tail-recursive/ calls away, and modify the example to be iteratively recursive, but I'd still like to assuage fears of recursion in the tour. The 'while' loop in SML is actually just a derived form, and is rewritten to recursion; there is no looping in the language. Do you have any suggestions for rewording?

This is a work in progress that I was looking for feedback on :) Thank you! If you see anything else fishy, please let me know.
It's strange how lungs can recover most of the time from smoking but not from particles. COPD is a terrible disease my father has it along with IPF (scars on lungs). He smoked early in his life but quit around age 30. Smoking is one of the causes of COPD but so is inhaling small particles like dust and fumes.

Paragraph #2 answers your question:

It looks stupid, the trapezoidal side walls around the truck bed actually make it much less usable, and it looks stupid.

The whole problem with eg the BMW i-Series or most other electric cars is that they are designed in a silly way that says, “look at me, I’m a weird electric car, I’m not a normal car at all, I’m willing to look like a total dork in order to virtue-signal about being eco-friendly”. Teslas just look like sports cars—except the Cybertruck’s styling is 100% “dorky virtue signal about having a weird special truck”, and truck people are even less likely than car people to put up with that.
Tableau (the general visualization engine) just runs queries against whatever database (relational, cube, columnar, web service, file).

Since you're just openly ignoring the post you're "responding to", I'll just copy-paste my response to what you have just said, with some minor changes:

> So a person spends money to support an odious cause, and that person gets money by being associated with an organization. You hate the odious cause, so you want to avoid giving your money to support people who will then give money to promoting that odious cause. How does that work? Do you no longer have the right to not indirectly support things in your ideal system?

Yes, but it would also protect people who donated to a virtuous cause. The fact that privacy allows people to secretly donate to political campaigns is the point. Part of the reason virtuous causes have had any success at all is that people donated to support them, at a time when donating to those virtuous causes was risking your job and social standing.

Human rights still apply to humans who support odious causes. If you are willing to give up human rights to fight bad people trying to support odious causes, then those rights won't be there to protect good people trying to support virtuous causes, either.

That's incredibly wrong. You don't see people ruining their lives from nicotine consumption through snus, chewing gum and non-adulterated vaping (smoking≠nicotine consumption), but plenty of people ruin their lives and the lives around them due to alcohol.

Nicotine can be just as harmless as caffeine. Personally I don't find nicotine very addictive at all, but even if it were super addictive it's all about how you consume it. [1] Nobody cares about how many people are addicted to caffeine, because the main consumption method of caffeine is pretty safe (coffee).

Caffeine is actually mixed with meth in ya ba (popular in Thailand) [2], but that doesn't mean that caffeine ruins lives. When you say that nicotine is deadly you're conflating the drug with something completely separate. It's sort of like saying that air is deadly, because it could kill you if you inject a lot of it into your veins.

I don’t agree - I find SQL easy to compose using CTEs and Functions - Postgres 12 is amazing for this because chained CTEs are now just as fast as traditional nested joins (which can be hard to decipher). Also lateral joins are great for composing set returning functions - Postgres joins them automatically - like magic.

It's truly absurd, incredibly short-sighted even if one were to take the advantages at face value.

But the advantages are a microcosm of horror, too, like the ability to keep animals clamped in extremely constricted, filthy, stress inducing environments without the flesh literally rotting off their bones, while feeding them a diet (corn for cattle?!) which gives them ulcers.
know SQL is kind of hard to describe. I also have business people that know SQL, yet don't use (or request, if they knew there are not) indexes. So we get this amalgamation of monstrous subqueries all hitting the same unoptimized fields, of course, blocking the database.

I created a mini-training for the onboarding process, so they could at least look for things without killing all our read replicas. But that’s just one step; some people are just not good at it.

Fear... fear is having everyone blocked because one person is killing all the replicas for them to work on.
Because, to this day, Dropbox is the only cloud storage service that is capable of syncing only the part of a file that was modified. If you have ISOs, zips etc, GDrive will re-upload the entire file while Dropbox will only upload the changed parts.

Appeal by Astronomers (Re Starlink)
> Starting smoking while in an environment with smokers helps you socialize and be part of an ingroup.

Some coworkers at my old work quit smoking and also had to give up coffee. The connection was so strong they couldn't have one without the other. And the socializing out back in the smoking area was also a big part of it.

It also can cause friction at work. I've worked with smokers who are practically bouncing with energy. But they were crabby and combative when their nicotine levels were low. Then ten minutes later back to bouncy and cheery, it was exhausting to be around. I also estimated the 10 or 15 minute smoke breaks meant that my coworker made $5/hour more than me when were actually paid the same rate. He was adamant they were not breaks it was just a "quick smoke" but he was gone for 10 or 15 minutes every hour.
So an attacker able to write to memory would be able to elevate into the ability to... write to memory. That doesn't sound particularly worrisome.

I worked on a sync product that had this feature "forever." The problem with the "ignore" feature is that it creates corner cases in almost every use case we add. A huge amount of engineering resources goes into this feature, even though its only used by a minority of users.

A big problem comes with un-ignoring a file / folder, specifically if someone else has gone and added the same file / folder on another computer or in the web. The only way to make that use case work smoothly is to basically read minds, because there's no way to know which version of the file / folder is the right one.

I agree with you, Looker is awesome but it's far from perfect. It does solve most of the problems in a convenient way but as the data modeling gets more and more complex and they're not going to able to iterate the product at that pace, it's the destiny of almost all the enterprise products.

Product analytics is one of these complex use-cases. You can't really find a convenient way to run funnel and retention queries in Looker, it only focuses on slicing/dicing the data with their models. Moreover, it has a high learning curve even for the enterprise and there are definitely better ways to approach this problem.

Disclaimer: We're actually working on a LookML alternative based on Jsonnet that will be a better alternative for event modeling. This is how it looks like: https://github.com/rakam-io/recipes.

The prior media coverage of this suit described it as a $35bn lawsuit, because the working number was 7mm incidents and the media assumed (and plaintiff alleged) Facebook acted “intentionally or recklessly” and went with the $5k/incident damages.

If we assume the 7mm Illinois resident incidents number is correct, Facebook settled for about $79/incident.

On the one hand Facebook would obviously not want to pay any amount in a lawsuit over their facial recognition feature, but on the other hand the law was about 1% as impactful as it had been written to be.

'teenager' is a modern construct, so your comment is anachronistic.
Pretty good advice. I work a full-time job in IT security and own a low seven figure lifestyle business on the side. Here’s what I do:

1. I always email screen and ask for more information specifically questions.

2. Always have them meet you where you’re already going to be (ie, coffee next to where you live or work, community event) That way if you end up with a no-show it doesn’t impact you as much.

3. I give out my number and email often. Nowadays people don’t like to call which means they don’t but I get brownie points for offering my number up. I screen both calls and email so it’s still a win-win.

4. I gave regularly calling recruiters my big number which includes my business income. This has reduced their calls to 0 but they do email me at times.

5. I often take meetings where I get an opportunity to learn from others or give back. Without disruption, life becomes routine.
