Check out Graphiti.dev it shows how a few common sense conventions in REST give most or all the power of GraphQL.

I think the phrase “comparing apples to oranges” is a bit misleading in this context because it is normally used to imply that such comparison is impossible or not useful (i.e. a fruitless exercise, sorry, I couldn’t help it). But here there is a lot to compare.

REST is built with the basic infrastructure of the web in mind so massive amounts of infrastructure like caching, error messaging do need to be rebuilt. GraphQL has some real benefits so a comprehensive comparison is worth it. Ultimately both are an api design to facilitate getting data. It’s sort of like comparing Postgres to MongoDB. Yes there are major differences but the expected use is to store data. Comparing is crucial.

Either way. Have fun building cool stuff.

Leftists really like to point out that the American police system has deep roots in the paid slave catchers that would return escaped slaves in free states to their masters. And the fact that America never actually abolished slavery, just made it contingent on being punishment for a crime.

The problem of SAT is not that it can be prep'd, but it is too easy to be differentiating, and too simple so people can game it.

By the way, isn't depending on SAT for years and everyone bitching about SAT is a gross failure of our education system? Take any serious test, be it STEM competitions, JEE, or NCEE, multiple-choice questions are the easiest part. The differentiating questions are all kinds of word problems. Yet the US can't afford such test, but countries like India and China can.

And why do people in the US, the most developed and the richest country in the world, complain that people can prep the SAT. It's truly a shame. In countries like China, it is public schools that produce the best students. It is the public schools that set high standards for the country. It is the public schools that come up with amazing text books and problem sets. Tutoring in China is joke. Classes offered by public schools are legendary. Something is wrong in the US.

"I’m not a security engineer, so what’s the benefit of using a nonstandard cryptographic protocol?"

Broadly speaking, the benefit is that if you have a keyhole view of the crypto world, you can google this and stackoverflow that online and get something that to your eyes appears simpler than using correct crypto, because correct crypto worries about keys, and revocation, and the keys are in a weird mix of formats, and certificates are complicated and have all these features you don't seem to need, and support for them is more mixed and less widely available than you'd like. Your simpler crypto seems to work, and it might be "faster", and it was easier to bash together one function that "uses" AES directly and puts out a stream that "looks encrypted" than it is to worry about all the things it takes to use crypto correctly.

None of that is sarcastic; especially if you don't stumble upon libnacl or some other library designed to be easy to use while still being correct, using crypto correctly is actually a good deal harder than misusing a couple of primitives to get something that superficially works. I mean, again no sarcasm, you can figure out how to bash something together with AES256 primitives faster than you can even figure out how to run a too-simple-for-your-needs Certificate Authority, which even if you do Google up the right scripts is still annoyingly difficult in my experience. And that's only a single element of what you may need to do for your app to be secure.

In terms of any other sort of advantage, there basically isn't one. It's the above advantage that is why we keep seeing home-grown crypto all the time.

Now, getting your use of the crypto primitives correct is much harder than getting your use of existing solid libraries correct. Unfortunately, misused crypto doesn't usually crash or segfault or fail visibly; it still produces binary gibberish visually indistinguishably from the binary gibberish solid libraries will produce. It just turns out to be low-quality gibberish that won't secure you or your users. But no segfaults, crashes, errors, warnings, etc.

There is a first layer on companies having to pay 25% of salaries to taxes, then a second layer of 25%, then a third layer of income tax 0 to 30% depending on total sum and how many dependents.

The X1 Carbon and XPS 13 both have soldered RAM.

The XPS 13 has no USB-A ports, the only port advantage is a microSD slot. I might remind you that SD cards have a huge speed disadvantage compared to USB 3.0/3.1 storage. It's somewhat low key, but I think SD cards are on the cusp of being obsolete and are already for many workflows.

"Worst company for customer rights" kind of conveniently forgets Lenovo's own missteps (Superfish).

Every time I compare Dell the comparison falls apart due to the lack of configurability. Want 16GB of RAM? Want the high DPI display? Congratulations, you must now buy the highest model, which has no price advantage over the Mac.

Sure, Apple is ripping you off by forcing you to buy their soldered storage (arguably, 99% of XPS buyers will never replace the storage themselves, either, or they'd have to pay a technician to do it), but at least they aren't gatekeeping the nice screen and RAM choice to the top model.

We have not found any reliable numbers on keyboard usage vs mouse input yet, but it would be quite valuable.

Compared to normal shortcuts the commands are easier to remember, because they mostly represent the verb for the action you want to accomplish. Instead of memorizing Ctrl + E or similar for a new article, you type /write or an alias like /new. This way you only have to know what actions are possible, without connecting them to an inconclusive key combination. Most commands will auto-complete after the first two letters, so you are not losing that much time either.

Our frontend is build on Vue.js and the shortcuts are handled by global JS events.

I find it pretty disgusting to be honest.

If you ignore CAC, Zapier isn’t a company that is going to lose any money per new premium customer. And we know this since they offer a free version with the premium version only having a few extra features. If they offered a year it would be one thing but 3 months means that for 75% of the rest of the Coronavirus period the small business will be paying them.

So what’s the charity here ? None.

> And now the tide is swinging back a bit as people get fed up with fakes and commingling at Amazon.

That isn't actually happening at all. That comes across as what you wish were occurring. Unless you're referring to eBay's share of online commerce persistently contracting as they stagnate. It isn't a new problem, eBay as a force in ecommerce has been eroding for many years now.

It's why eBay has a $22b market cap and their market platform has entirely stopped growing. Their stock multiple is so low because nobody believes in their growth story (it doesn't have one). Over four years they've seen an average of about 6% annual growth, although that includes other non-auction businesses they had acquired. It's also why they're a juicy takeover target: the lack of growth gives them a cheap valuation, combined with good margins and a difficult to remove quasi-monopoly position in auctions. There is no future for eBay other than in the belly of someone larger, and soon.

Amazon of course has been going gangbusters on growth during that time, becoming ever more dominant in online retail. The exact opposite of what you're describing.
> If a mobile platform could guarantee secure voting, it would revolutionize the process.

They'd have to give each voter some sort of voting device with a screen, buttons and wireless connectivity, and make sure that the voter doesn't lose it so that it can be reused for the next election, or buy these devices each election. Too much trouble.
It would be great, IMO, if electronic voting was cracked so that voting could be made cheaper and thus be used for more direct democracy.
Please remember that greater than 90 percent of people who have covid like symptoms test negative. So while there's a chance you had it and recovered, it's very small. Stay safe and assume you're still vulnerable.
To put this in short-hand: "We bank online, we buy all sorts of stuff online, why not vote?"

The biggest reason is that banking and other financial transactions have a very different threat model from voting.

In particular, voting requires a secret ballot. In addition to preventing an adversary from learning how you voted, a secret ballot requires you to be unable to prove how you voted, to prevent vote selling and coercion.

So, unlike financial transactions, how you do validation / remediation of failures is very unclear. Ben Adida has a blog post with further thoughts here (https://benlog.com/2007/03/02/on-voting-banking-and-bad-anal...).

This site openly admits the obvious flaws in their model:

- R0s for interventions are guesses, in some cases informed by data. There is no historical precedent for what is going on right now to draw from.

- The default R0 used in this model is an average. The model does not adjust for the population density, culturally-determined interaction frequency and closeness, humidity, temperature, etc in calculating R0.

- This is not a node-based analysis, and thus assumes everyone spreads the disease at the same rate. In practice, there are some folks who are “super-spreaders,” and others who are almost isolated. Interventions should be targeted primarily at those most likely to spread the disease.

Are there any epidemiologists using less naive statistical models who are producing easily readable results like this? The "average R0" logistic function model seems better suited for examining historical epidemics than estimating risk to inform decision-making for ongoing epidemics.
The previous policy has always centered around increasingly aggressive eligibility testing, to the point that the DWP spends more on appeals in an effort to prevent disabled people being able to eat than it would on just paying them the benefits they are entitled to.

I feel like iPads are beaten on both sides of the device size spectrum.

iPads got their lease on life because of the tiny screen sizes of the original iPhone line. Once iPhones got bigger, iPad sales growth flatlined, and for good reason. They're the worst of both worlds - too clumsy of an interface (I'd say even with this new trackpad bolted on) for real work, and not pocketable.

When I want to do something trivial and immediately, the phone with a big screen does it just fine. When I need to do real work, a tablet interface is a miserable experience, so I use a laptop with all the normal tools an engineer needs.

I picked up an iPad Mini 2 and used it for a good year, but once the plus-size iPhones came out it went into the drawer and never came out.
Electronic voting is difficult because it's politically undesirable to many people who benefit from dead tree voting, not for any technical reason. So yeah, of course people claiming to solve a political problem with technical buzzwords are almost certainly selling snake oil.

If we're all sick at once can we all get proper treatment?

We're all making assumptions and treating our ideas like they have to be true. We still don't actually know, we will only know in retrospective, and that's important to keep in mind. We can't know what's going to happen, and I think we need to be more cautious than optimistic. Where's the line between that an insanity? I don't know, but we can't act like we know the math, especially when we're getting equal and opposite information every day.

All over the press today that they will look at tomorrow’s (21.03.2020) population activity and make the lockdown decision based on that.

There is also the question of why is it so severe in places? And could it get that severe elsewhere?

Studies of SARS showed that regions with high pollution were significantly more at risk for death from it. If that is the case for this, the severity expected in many parts of the world will be considerably lower than projected.

Again, stay home. I am not encouraging breaking self distancing. The panic message is worrying me because everyone seems to only be looking for reasons to panic.
It appears this assumes a doubling rate of 3-4 days? That's pretty pessimistic compared to what the science-heads are saying, right? I've heard 5-6 days, 6.2 from another source.
