I prefer this much intimate/disgusting/sexier explanation:

"Kissing in humans is postulated to have evolved from the direct mouth-to-mouth regurgitation of food (kiss-feeding) from parent to offspring or male to female (courtship feeding) and has been observed in numerous mammals.[59] The similarity in the methods between kiss-feeding and deep human kisses (e.g. French kiss) are quite pronounced; in the former, the tongue is used to push food from the mouth of the mother to the child with the child receiving both the mother's food and tongue in sucking movements, and the latter is the same but forgoes the premasticated food. In fact, through observations across various species and cultures, it can be confirmed that the act of kissing and premastication has most likely evolved from the similar relationship-based feeding behaviours."

correct, assuming you don't let yourself get tricked into trying without https.
They officially reported 144 influenza deaths in 2018, out of 700,000 infected. Would you prefer it if we said, "They use dramatically different statistical methods?" Lies, damned lies, and statistics, etc... Why? God only knows.
If you'd like to step outside of narrow-minded pattern-matching for a second, there was a period in my mid-20s during which I took LSD once a month or so, and I literally had an epiphany every time. These weren't unfalsifiable philosophical larks about the universe, they were things like "I can be pretty self-centered" and "do I have a healthy relationship with drugs?" and seeing relationships from the other person's perspective that stuck with me in the longterm and improved me as a person. I had a pretty messed up childhood, and while I wouldn't give all the credit to LSD, I'd say it deserves more than half the credit for repairing the toxic relationships I had with my parents.

Since this seems to matter to people, I'm about as normal as you could expect. I have a high-paying 9-5 job that I'm passionate about, I'm in a leadership role that requires me to be reliable and stable (unlike when I was a junior engineer and could randomly take days off on a whim), I play sports and eat healthy and have a couple long-term hobbies.

Letting the word "drug" do all the thinking for you is a really bizarre embrace of the brainwashing that you've been subjected to. It's not even consistent brainwashing! Anyone with a couple of brain cells should be able to figure out that alcohol is a central example of a drug and yet magically nobody terrified of "drugs" had trouble accepting that alcohol can be responsibly enjoyed despite its potential for immense social damage.

It's a reference to the GM streetcar conspiracy (most notably retold in Who Framed Roger Rabbit).

While it's a decently well-known anecdote, most experts nowadays believe that the very real attempt to monopolize the selling of buses to city transit did not contribute in any significant way to the dismantling of the streetcars--the streetcars were already in rude health and dying, and their rapid dismantling happened even in cities where the bus transit companies were not involved.
So the manager has no idea it would kill people, but the developer does? All developers are now well-versed in medical ethics and would never need a lawyer?

If anyone should by sympathetic to the potential for novel, complex systems to manifest issues, it should be the readers of this site. Surely similar issues arise with anything similarly advanced.

I see reports like this as a positive. The plane is still relatively new, there will be issues. The best way forward is to be brutally honest and fix them. There will be issues for years. They will be fixed.

How would your own code fare under such scrutiny? I recall a recent report regarding "flaws" in the new Ford carrier's catapult system...upon close reading, the catapult had not worked correctly five times out of five hundred attempts. In the world of software we would have no issue at all proclaiming a system with a failure rate that low to be "production ready".
So long as fresh faced developers arrive on the scene, there will always be people looking to get around using SQL.

Most ASF projects are not what I would call end-user tools; they're a collection of enabling technologies under an open source license so that they can be integrated in a modular way into a wide range of other products that an end-user would interact with. For better or worse, this seems to be the way that open source is being funded and used by the industry these days.

Funny you say that. I've been to SF about a half-dozen times for work and Market St stands out to me as a nightmare to cross on foot. Tons of fast-moving cross-traffic, cars turning across crosswalks, and tons of pedestrians fighting all that. I'm glad to hear there's less traffic there (though honestly, if I have the choice, I will also be glad if I never have to visit SF again).

> You seem to put all drugs in the same basket, you say it yourself "I never done drugs".

This likely isn't even true, unless OP has never touched caffeine or alcohol, the most widely used drugs in the world. There's no reasonable definition of drugs that doesn't include those two, beyond the one meant to trick simple-minded pattern-matchers from thinking critically about either their alcohol use or their potential use of other drugs.

OLAP is a way of constructing queries and persisting/refreshing their results. Some OLAP based systems have a query designer where you can drag and drop columns, set values for certain columns to reduce the data, aggregate certain columns or pivot certain columns. They also have special handlers for pivoting such as pivoting datetime columns by a given granularity.

All these reports can be kept up to date in a live fashion by the OLAP service as new relevant data comes in, much like a materialized view.

Many accounting systems support OLAP based queries in order for the accounting department to design reports and export them to excel.

My go-to tool for this has been materialized views (or in some cases simply a new table that is refreshed every now and then). What would be the cases when OLAP is better/worse than materialized view? (based on the main article, it sounds like pretty much no other advantage for OLAP than smaller resource requirements)

Many setups I saw (PV) are mainly maintained by being washed by rain, and I fail to understand why the maintenance of a (non obsolete) home solar panel would be expensive (neglecting vandalism/theft)(?)

Moreover energy produced by solar panels in homes is locally consumed, therefore there is no maintenance (nor any non-neglectable cost or loss) related to distribution (they are non neglectable).

Who subsidized your electrical company's build-out of the long-haul transmission lines to get electricity out to you? Do the payers of those subsidies see an ROI from long-haul transmission lines to economically minimal areas?

Ditto telco?

Where do you buy groceries? Who disproportionately paid for all of the utilities and transportation necessary to make that work?

How about delivery? Mail is hugely subsidized, particularly for rural routes, and commercial carriers use all those roads-'n-stuff to get to you. Your last mile, or even last miles, might be dirt--y'all certainly aren't paying proportionally for the highways to get even close enough.

I grew up in rural areas. Lots of people sneered a lot about The Gubmint. And even in that weird epistemic closure not a one paid out what they took. Which is fine; that's how it's supposed to work, and there's an argument for some subsidy of rural living for a number of both moral and practical reasons. But leaving the disingenuity in the closet where it belongs and showing some basic respect for the process that allows it is at least polite.
I took a program that used to take multiple days to run in python/numpy/scipy/pandas moved it to julia... and got it down to just a few hours. Something like a 20x speed improvement. It seems the biggest speedups are gained if you happened to have implemented custom functions in python since those cannot take as much advantage of C numpy/scipy/pandas cores. That said, I still find numpy/scipy/pandas more natural. But that's probably simply because I'm more familiar with them and python.

Due to agricultural monocultures and climate limitations, most rural areas are not self-sustaining either. A given rural locale may contribute certain products to cities, but it is also a net recipient of other products from elsewhere – and the logistics of getting all those products to the given rural locale may well have been managed within cities.

This project started before Nextcloud existed, I don't know why it hasn't switched, though.
It isn't. High dependancy ratios, however, are. i.e. a top-heavy population structure in which everyone is old and they rely on few people of productive working age.
Please include delivery vehicles into your wish, if you are earnest. Or restrict your wish to through-traffic. Otherwise, you are just calling for a ban of other people traffic.

Why? Taxis are part of public transport regulated by the city itself. There's no contradiction with them granting taxis special status within the city infrastructure. There is a contradiction with allowing regular drivers to use a road closed for cars just so those drivers can earn some money.

If something is corrupt it's to do with the way permits are granted, not that those permits permit certain things.

Fast buses are difficult if they are stuck in car traffic. Remove the cars and the bus can move much faster. If the bus moves faster and can more accurately predict a schedule, more people may use it, which allows more frequent runs, and so on.
Well, to be fair, the busses and streetcars which will still be prevalent on Market are also massive steel cages used to ferry individuals from one part of town to another. But certainly much more efficient and effective massive steel cages with regard to their use of the space, which will result in a much more pleasant public space.
FWIW, I was a Lenovo employee up until a couple of months ago, and while I didn't work in that division specifically, you hear rumblings. And there is definitely a sentiment among many within Lenovo that wants to push Linux harder, in order to get out from under Microsoft's thumb. It's a delicate dance though, as Lenovo (like all PC OEM's at the moment) is so dependent on MS. And I don't know if this sentiment goes as high as the CEO or not, but I do know that it goes pretty damn high up the corporate hierarchy.

Not sure what hyperscale qualifies as. I do agree that companies which are only building a webapp or mobile app can scale and grow in a very different way than companies that need to build infrastructure.

>I'm unaware of any biotech startups that have grown to hyperscale.

Genzyme[0] comes to mind, founded in 1981, went public in 1986 (raising 28.2 million [1]). It was acquiring other companies, building manufacturing plants at a pretty fast pace. Not sure if you would call it hyperscale.

Probably none. In my experience (and I was a Lenovo employee until very recently) most - if not all - of the Lenovo employees understand that SuperFish / etc. were a huge mistake, and are very diligent about not doing anything that could be perceived as going down a similar path again.

Of course it's a big company and there may be somebody hidden away in some corner planning "SuperFish 2.0", but the people I interacted with with were all pretty committed to not engaging in those kinds of behaviors. Take that FWIW.
