No you don’t ;)

If you are stuck in the “every approach has to be tested to conventional FDA standards” then yes. If you are able to look outside the box for a little then you will realise that you don’t. This is not a problem that is going to be solved by old thinking.
That sounds much more feasible! I copied and pasted your tip into my notes app. Thanks!
The problem with this argument is ignoring the counterfactual cases: the wars that have not occurred, that would have occurred otherwise.

Europe was mired in endless wars for millenia. It's now in the longest stretch of peace in centuries and, by sheer coincidence, at its highest levels of trade.

In the rest of the world trade has steadily risen and wars and deaths from wars have fallen steadily. Correlation might not be causation, but it would interesting know what third factor explains both "more trade" and "fewer wars" other than "it's hard to fight a war with the people who feed you".
The way a range is defined in Swift looks scary for a programmer but immediately looks very natural as soon as you imagine you've forgotten programming an only know math.

time.time() (as well as datetime.datetime.now() and other stuff like that) always looked extremely ugly to me. I would feel better writing CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent() - it seems more tidy and making much more sense once you calm down and actually read that.
Analytics workloads are often a good fit for columnar databases. Popular examples are Redshift (AWS), Vertica (enterprise), and Clickhouse (open source).

Columnar databases are awesome, for the right kinds of task the speedup can be multiple orders of magnitude. Columnar databases excel at filtering and aggregating a subset of columns, storing sparse or slowly-changing data, and timeseries operations.

Of course there's always tradeoffs. Columnar databases tend to suck at reading individual rows, reading large number of columns, and heavy writes.

Another option is of course to put a caching layer between the dashboard and ElasticSearch, and precompute common queries e.g. daily.

> You’ve moved the goalposts here though. You first argued how none of these small business owners brought forward evidence and therefore this isn’t a real scandal.

I never moved the goalpost. My claim has always been that there is zero physical evidence of Yelp extorting small businesses.

The posted video is not evidence of Yelp extorting business. It's an example of a fired Yelp employee blaming a business owner for getting fired, and taking it out on the business owner's Yelp page. That is not extortion on behalf of Yelp.

> When hundreds of small business owners make accusations against one company like this, and people like Louis being tangible evidence forward, a full investigation of these practices is warranted, which hasn’t happened yet, to my knowledge.

There have been countless lawsuits filed against Yelp for extortion. All of them have been dismissed -- not settled; dismissed. Google is your friend.

The "Foundation" and "CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent" are very easily fixable surface level details.

"range(15)" vs "0..<15" could go either way.

"let" vs "var" in Swift is indeed something that adds verbosity relative to Python, and adds some cognitive load with the benefit of better correctness checking from the compiler. Very much a static vs dynamic typing thing. That's where you'll see the real friction in Swift adoption for developers less invested in getting the best possible performance.
The Science of Wellbeing[1] taught by Yale’s Dr. Laurie Santos lives up to the hype. It’s been discussed on HN a few times[2] which is how I stumbled upon it.

If you don’t mind my asking, did your school give you access to coursera to earn credit while the campus is shut down? Or is it just something interesting and fun for students who might be inclined to learn something new while they’re stuck at home? Either way, props to your school! And enjoy whatever classes you decide to take!

I found your FAQ after a little digging, but it didn't really give me comfort that you ship using a method that is particularly suited to fine art. Also, I noticed a few listings say that they come framed. For these I'd want to see the frame, they vary so much in style and size.

That looks like a great boat to start with. I wanted to suggest another beginner boat;

The Puddle Duck is another beginner-focused sailboat. It's more of a sailing barge with squared off corners, but it's designed to fit standing on end inside a normal house against the wall, possibly as a bookshelf, when not in use. And it sails fairly well/better than expected given the design constraints.

Puddle Ducks are sort of the epitome of "I immediately understand how this goes together, even I can build this". It's not horribly efficient, or pretty, but it's designed to be built by anyone in a weekend and get you out on the water by sunday night. There is always time later to build your "dream boat".

These shenanigans make me wonder why they don't just focus on making HTML5 apps a better experience. If they provided better widgets (e.g. including swipe gestures, which Angular/Polymer/MDL don't) and access to native hardware we'd be set.

HTML5 is just 100X easier and nicer to program with than that abomination of Android Studio followed by aligning, keysigning, and other steps.

The HTML5 hello world is

<html><body>Hello World</body></html>

The native hello world is no less than 74 files of garbage, Gradle configurations, and other nonsense.
> The thing is, this is how Redhat Wins and has been winning ... I think redhat won't disappear because of this leadership style, but this is how it has been getting contracts, making money, getting sponsorships, and being attractive enough to be bought by IBM.

Very true. Red Hat is a very successful company by any measure. Paul played an important role in making that happen.

At the same time, Red Hat also has a major problem which limits its long-term growth potential: lack of meaningful diversification. RHEL is still the lion's share of their revenue. It's a powerhouse of a business, but its growth is definitely reaching a plateau. So what comes next? As far as I can tell, the answer is: Openshift and Ansible. Both are successful products, for different reasons. But can they grow revenue fast enough to compensate for RHEL's gradual decline? The answer seems to be "not yet". I think Red Hat reached the same conclusion, realized that their stock price would likely peak in 2019/2020 as markets realize the problem, and decided to sell.

And here's the thing: Paul also owns this problem. The failure to differentiate happened on his watch. If you believe Openshift/Ansible revenue is already on the same growth trajectory as RHEL, then success is a matter of execution, and Paul is the right guy for the job. But if you believe that Ansible and Openshift, while good, are just not as game-changing as RHEL once was - then no amount of execution will solve that problem.

EDIT: I meant "diversification", not differentiation! My bad.
Bad situations happen, they have happened before, and they will happen again.

All bailing out companies does in the long run is ensure they run things as close to the line of collapse as possible, because if there is any disruption, the government will bail them out.

It creates titanic systematic risk, and greatly rewards poorly managed companies vs well managed companies.

Any company weathering this storm well might as well have never bothered saving money and making long term wise decisions that may have limited short term upside, when you get a guaranteed bailout when things start going south when you have made decisions that lead to having no reserve capital (see American Airlines 12 billion dollar stock buyback, the airline industry wants a 50 billion dollar bailout, having spent 45b on stock buybacks in the last years, why would they save money when the government will swoop in and pay)

Don't think the individuals running these companies don't see the pattern here.

Its akin to betting red on a roulette wheel every time, and getting more free money when it comes out black instead.
Is r/thedonald not included in the database? I'm trying the usual suspect titles, but get nothing.
Implication is that they have the ability. The only thing that removes their ability for targetting and tracking you is to block them at the browser or network level. Ie. don't give them the data in the first place.

Legal action against a multi-billion dollar corp. is the most expensive and about the last option for defending privacy of normal people.

I get it and to a large extent, I agree, but it's not a random phone call or interruption, it's a scheduled meeting, which is easy enough to work around.

Interruptions are frustrating (don't get me started on phone calls), but when you are working on a project collaboratively, touching bases and knowing what other people on your team is doing is important.
xrdesktop has a very talented team of hackers working on it (so I have no doubt they'll fix the mouse issue!).

Our approach with mouse cursors has been to assign every window its own mouse cursor. This is possible in Simula since the active window is the one that the user is currently gazing at, so that -- for example -- if you gaze at one window and move its cursor, it won't affect the other windows' cursors. We also allow users to control mouse cursors with their eye gaze (presently bounded to `Super + Apostrophe`), which is a good productivity boost.

In fact, you can do everything in Simula with just the keyboard (no mouse or VR controllers needed): move windows, move the mouse cursor, click the mouse cursor, etc. Once you learn the shortcuts, it's very quick.
It would be a hell of a lot better if coffee shops and co-working spaces were open, and schools weren’t closed.

Unfortunately for him life is political, and the UN and WHO very much so. I think those organizations should have space for governing entities that might not have complete international support or they aren’t really representing the world population as the name might lead one to believe.

Taiwan is clearly a self governing entity with that is not governed by the CCP. Whatever policy and assistance WHO is giving to CCP does not go to Taiwan. Taiwan has taken a very different approach to coronavirus and the world has a lot to learn from them.
I was under the impression it's the same for Signal. Quick duckduckgo led me here: https://signal.org/blog/asynchronous-security/

It really depends on the SaaS products. Often we have to pull the data out of the REST API, like you suggested. I have no experience with salesforce, but a quick Google taught me that you can access their database. This is done using SOQL, as illustrated here https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.soql_sosl..... In this case you just pull the data out of salesforce when you need it, without caching it in your own database.

I hope this helps you, let me know if it gets you any further.
Signal is all about making good cryptography usable for the general public. If you actually use the "safety numbers" to verify the identity of who you are communicating with then you have real guaranteed end to end encryption. Unfortunately not everyone does that.

People that really really need to be sure probably use something super simple like PGP after they take the time to learn how.

Do not watch TV and play computer games too much and stop drinking and using drugs (if you do it). It will make you depressed really fast which is big problem in isolation. Focus on positive things and try to contact your family as much as possible. This is also great opportunity to read or to learn new things like cooking or you can try to do something about current situation - sewing face covers, 3d printing face shields or whatever suits you. And the most important thing is to not pressure yourself too much. If you really are not in the mood to do something just postpone it.
I once spoke (well, listened) to a retired old-school Silicon Valley hardware engineer once who told me that ~80% of the projects he worked on never saw the light of day, never became products. Eighty percent, of hardware. It put things in perspective for me as a software guy.

> Netflix is not good at creating content.

Neither is anybody else. It's a random crapshoot. To be fair, though, Netflix seems to be doing a bit better than random.

Disney+ has a huge advantage in that they have a significant back catalog that people actually want.

Everybody else can basically be ignored.

Amazon will blink first to Disney+ and Netflix terms, and Apple will be forced to follow or be irrelevant in video.
Go succeeded because it was largely ignored by Google. Dart was the darling language which flipped miserably and has only recently became relevant.

Yes, we are. But we come with navigational guides.

Quantitative easing was born out of Bernanke's deep study of the Great Depression, where exogenous events prompted a liquidity crisis that kept causing pain long after its cause had subsided.

The demand destruction we're seeing today, as a result of the novel coronavirus, is unprecedented in the modern era. We don't want to spend decades after the infection has passed rebuilding productive capital destroyed for lack of liquidity. That's what these measures aim to prevent.
Apple is never going to make a $30 streaming device to compete with Roku for a stand-alone device. They are now happy to have the AppleTV app on competitors and some TVs now support AirPlay.

Chromecast requires another device to actually use. That will never be good enough to be the only solution for smart TVs.

Amazon maybe. But they really don’t have a value proposition over Roku.

> The entire US constitution is built on the premise that people have rights.

As much as I'm near-absolutist on civil liberties, I think it's also valuable to recognize that the intrinsic good of individual rights are only one part of the story; the other is the balance of power between government and the governed.

I recently heard Sam Harris opine that from a utilitarian perspective, an absolutist right to privacy pales in comparison to allowing harm to come to children, and so the tech community needs to flex a little on the privacy question, and meet law enforcement halfway. Through that reductionist lens, it's hard to find fault in the argument.

The problem isn't limited to privacy, though. Unbreakable digital locks exist, and they aren't going anywhere. [0] And there is power in the ability to keep secrets. You can bet the Feds have little interest in a Panopticon, where they too are obstructed from keeping digital secrets, as "meeting us halfway" for some greater good. Rather, they want to hoard that asymmetric power as their exclusive purview. No matter how well-intentioned, that asymmetry of raw power is something We The People have a vested interest in taking seriously, far beyond some abstract notion of "I want to Google ${CONSENTING_ADULT_SEXUAL_ACTIVITY} without worrying the neighbors will find out".

It requires three things that are famously hard for Apple (and Google and many others too, not just Apple, to be fair) to achieve:

- Work with others on standards

- Expose things on a open platform that won't allow you to have full control over what's possible for developers and users to do and use

- Admit that sometimes you're wrong and you have to change according to others
Well, it does have a difference. You have full access to all native capabilities on the platform. That isn't true from a webapp. I'm not casting judgment on which is better but it is different. Actually, I wish this feature was a combination of install and run with parameter in a single step, controlled by the OS.
I remember seeing something like this during one of the early MagicLeap demos and was intrigued. If the headset was lightweight enough this would rock. In that video the screen remained in 'front' of the viewer and he could swipe left or right to switch screens.
Totally agree. It take time and management skills to be a efficient factory.

Back then every component of a battleship, the most powerful and advanced weapon of the time could be built independently by Britain, France, Germany, Italy, USA, Japan etc. Today, there are very few weapons systems that do not depend on allied countries for a critical component. E.g. it is quite well known that Britain's nuclear powered subs use US reactors and US missiles, but even the steel plate for the hull is likely sourced from another country as there is only one steelworks left in the UK which probably is not able to produce the right alloy in the desired thicknesses. In fact, industry in the UK has declined to the extent that we could not independantly produce a WW1 era battleship any more without a vast restructuring of the economy which would take decades.
