The critical component, MS Teams, is missing in G Suite. Google Chat feels more like posting on an internal message board, since it centers around creating threads rather than actual chatrooms. I can see why companies using G Suite, including ours, prefer Slack's UX or MS Teams' central approach to collaborate in Office 365.

Google chat = Google Hangouts Chat. They rebranded it 10 days ago.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/9/21215588/google-chat-hango...

It is effectively a slack or teams competitor.

Classic Hangouts is/was a lot of things. Sadly it was too many things. The new Chat has very similar Gmail integration, so if they ever get it out to consumer, it hopefully won't be a big change for people.
My wife’s 12 yr old niece lives in India. Every time I see her, she’s studying all day.

I happened to look at her math books. They had hundreds or thousands of word problems in one year’s cheap textbook. And she had solved ALL of them TWICE over within 8 months. It was unbelievable.

I haven’t seen anything quite like this in America.
Good, they've been price gouging for the last 10 years.

I think it comes down to communism. According to Marx's book "The Machine" the end game of communism is essentially an omnibenevolent AI. Marx thought eventually all forms of labor would be mechanised into a colossal machine that would run the world. Thus, the whole point of education is to train the geniuses in math, science, and technology in order to bring about this machine god. That's, in my opinion, why there is such a huge emphasis on those subjects in the Soviet system. All the other subjects are full of questions and speculation, and in general seem useless from that perspective once you believe you've reduced the aspirations of the humanities' longing for justice and truth to an engineering problem to solve.
Jamstack and the New Web
Does not match my experiences at all. Plenty of data structures in my job, with occasional need to parse the data. Knowledge of how OSes work and distributed systems also come very handy.

I think this is because our product is not related to web in any way, and the only UIs we deal with are quick and ugly ones for internal use.
The name is a reference to the (extremely good) Three Colors trilogy of movies by Krzysztof Kieślowski. Each movie stands on its own but they also work together and reference each other very slightly. They aren't monochrome but the title colour of each movie is certainly dominant in its palette.

If you squint you can relate them to the French Flag and the French ideals of Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite... But you do have to squint, Kieślowski made only a thin pretense of doing what the people paying for the art wanted, and since he was a genius they seem to have made only a thin pretense of demanding he do so.
Basically a self-hosted ngrok. This is neat because ngrok costs a lot annually.

The other challenge with ngrok is that it only proxies ssl traffic to an localhost with an ssl certificate, which is a huge pain. When you do implement SSL, will it be able to connect to localhost without ssl?

On another note, I think the cli should warn before creating or destroying infra, even though I have entered the command.

Wow, this is a great read! I'm on page 18 so far. It's been discussing how "word problems" are key to developing critical thinking skills, and how far behind the US seems to be in them. One point made: the idea that word problems can wait till algebra, which gives a universal method for solution, totally misses that they develop logic skills and practice with problem solving, which makes learning algebra so much easier.
Yes! And when you talk about the widely promoted supposed shortcomings of solar/wind/etc., point out that there are good solutions!

Facts: They raised a $60m D in July 2019.

Guesses: Patreon loses money (ie, they're a startup). This may be due to solely due to international, the use of the round D, or not.

Either way, they -- much like the startup I run -- are immediately planning how to go 24-36 months without any additional investor cash. Because your investors will still expect you to meet growth targets to get that next round regardless of covid.

Speaking for myself only, we've taken to heart the cut once, cut fast mantra that every company that came through 2008 says is the right thing to do. And we've figured out how the company will go for more than two years without additional cash, or be able to tolerate 20q2 being a sales disaster. Those both require immediately cutting burn.

Eternal Life with Yamanaka Factors
I liked to read and found (and understood) my farther’s calculus books while in elementary school ;) I was honestly bored in math classes through elementary and middle school. Teachers preferred to ignore me and especially my questions. I got through some math competitions with average success, then got invite to a qualification testing into a couple math high schools. Was selected in the last round of testing to the one I liked the most, and then graduated at the top of my year ;)

Edit: btw, I don’t know how I actually got these invites. Either from math competitions, or through my math teachers who found a way to get rid of me ;)
Well the reason I’m thinking kubernetes is that it can be hosted on prem for the client as well.
Lower coordination cost is a big deal. Having your own backend means you can do frontend-backend codesign. You can implement language specific optimizations in the backend. Those things are not in the cards if you’re using llvm. (I mean they might be, but unless you fork, the time it’ll take for the changes to make it into llvm will be comparable to the time it takes to write your own backend.)

From that Zuckerberg statement it feels like a payment play. FB and Jio will launch a payments system possibly using their blockchain and I will also bet they will integrate deeply with whatsapp, there by cloning wechat. Right now the only payments system in India is paytm and Jio is in a great position to disrupt that. They get to give fb a shot and get a cut of the revenue if it works.
I'm sure WhatsApp is already more deeply entrenched than Jio.

This is more of a commerce play, nothing to do with disinformation dissemination.

> Given that this time it is not, your belief for lab leak should decrease a bit.

China's ambitions and role in the World are very different in 2020 than they were in 2004. If China manages to contain this pandemic better than the US and Europe, it'll come out relatively stronger.

We do not have hard evidence about the lab leak hypothesis and we must have it before drawing any conclusions. The timing of the economic repercussions on the US/EU seems to come at a strategically perfect time for China to gain politically. This would be a much better alternative to a way and much easier to cover up. All relevant evidence may have been wiped away, for all we know.

All I am saying is that there are definitely reasons to have different Bayesian priors in 2020 compared to 2004. Evidence is still weak, I agree.
It works for me and I'm using Cloudflare DNS. 1.1.1.1/help confirms this and I just loaded the archive.is link.
Huh. That doesn't really match my American experience at all.

True, in elementary school I don't recall any word problems -- because everything was practical arithmetic through sixth grade. I think sixth grade was long division?

But seventh grade was algebra, and all the Russian examples of word problems look like the stuff we got all the time, seventh grade through eleventh grade. Twelfth grade was calculus, and I seem to recall word problems mostly disappearing then, since everything was just graphs and derivatives and integrals.

Granted I was in honors classes and also did extra-credit "Mathcounts" and "Mathletics" after school, where we definitely got more of that stuff too. But that was just a difference of difficulty and, well, even more practice.

Now obviously different countries have different math standards and different cultural attitudes towards the value of math.

But the difference the author is describing doesn't resonate at all with what I learned growing up in a small town in upstate New York.
Thats a great point. I guess I want the product to be deployed anywhere so containers are my first thought

Last time Zuckerberg tried there was a strong resistance from India because Facebook had money but didn't have influence. Jio/Mukesh Ambani is a very influential player in Indian politics. This gives Zuckerberg much needed regulatory capture.

Currently WhatsApp pay is facing a lot of resistance in large scale roll out. Watch that go away in a matter of weeks.

Won't happen, even if Ambani's and others are lobbying for it. BSNL is required for secure government and military communication.
On top of that, you have to cut gross salary by a much larger percentage than the percentage of the company that you have to layoff because fully loaded employee cost is much higher than salary alone.
Such a program will never happen in America again because some people will complain about privilege-this and equity-that. America is basically living Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron already and dooming itself to mediocrity if is doesn’t realize the damage being done and correct things.

I haven't seen the film yet, but I've heard Moore talk about it on his podcast. Nuclear vs fossil vs renewables isn't the point at all. It's about how the increasing size of the so-called 'economy' (of which energy production is just one component), regardless of the tech used, is a road to inevitable collapse. Our choices, on this view, aren't between types of growth; they are between collapse or degrowth. Agree or disagree, but that seems to be the point of the film, to which nuclear energy is scarcely relevant.
You know how cells with cancer or defects commit suicide in the human body? Maybe this is a macro level aspect of the same phenomenon. Humans take the most risky high reward choice to self select the best candidate for reproduction.

Only it's not natural selection, more like preprogrammed cell death happening at the macro level. Similar to ants sacrificing themselves for the queen.

Some ways may be reasonable, e.g. running a commercial side project which is a direct competitor of your employer's product. In this case, the moral hazard of using company's internal knowledge which is under an NDA is very high indeed.

But the list of such disallowed activities should be short and reasonable.
Perhaps. Moat seems really weak to me. There’s no real network effect there.

Hiring too much is a problem, but also bear in mind that having customers sort of gums up the works--you can't go changing stuff on a whim without communication, more careful assessment of impact, migration plans on customers' schedule--it's easier to be nimble when there's nothing to conserve.

To be honest, Stripe does not need this data. To provide functionality, they collect all data on card payments, who's paying, who's the seller, seller volume. They can see which cards are used across which services and the like.

Tracking mouse clicks and URLs is auxiliary imo would not move the needle for them right now, unless they move into advertising (not impossible long term, if they go public).
I started going through the docs. This language starts off with some heft sells - prevent errors, increase test coverage, etc. Then the docs mostly cover things like "you can call an array an array or a list" and stuff that isn't very interesting to me.

It doesn't even show methods or things like that. I think 90% of the docs I've read so far should have just been a single page with one liners one after the other, and less interesting stuff that's got more depth should go further back. I don't think showing nested arrays and dictionaries is interesting to me after you've just told me about some super interesting testing / correctness stuff - lead with that!

I skipped ahead to Decision Making. I think the example is so strange and contrived - three functions, each returns some number above 100, some logic after that that feels arbitrary? I would do something at least a little more universal like fib.

The end of this section states "100% testable" - I'm confused. Why is this testable?

I could not write one unit test to have 100% code coverage, not even line coverage.

If I, for example, wrote a test that used the code provided, with an assertion

assert add(3, 5) == 101

I would not hit f2 or f3, so I'm confused by:
"A single unit test is enough to have 100% coverage on functions, always."

That unit test was definitely not enough for 100% coverage.

I skimmed the rest.

For a language that states it's great for testing and preventing errors, I am at a loss as to how one would write a test for it, or handle an error.

This looks like a pretty neat language, but you really gave me such a good hook and then no follow through.

I'll take a contrarian view. This is good! All investment into India is good. (Yes even Chinese investment.) We are a poor capital starved country. We need every bit of cash we can get and that $5.7B will generate employment and create another strong telecom player. I strongly supported net neutrality in 2016 in India, but circumstances have changed. Jio needs the money, as does India. The poor cannot afford principles.
This is what infuriates me about college level mathematics from about 12 years ago at least. Why can't they also explain it like they do in those 1-1 sessions instead of making calculus textbooks that assume you know set theory before set theory is taught in some of the worst most obtuse writing there is.

The article mentions a mine in Afghanistan as a source of the best Lapis Lazuli, but I believe in ancient Egypt (and probably the Classical era), it was the _only_ source.

There are some really interesting documentaries about the mine, and what impresses me most is just how remote and dangerous the trek is. Mining there 4000-5000 years ago with primitive tools, and the journey required to get the Lapis from Afghanistan all the way to Egypt is really very remarkable. It's a difficult journey today even with Range Rovers.

Related to the OP, but not Lapis mining: an interesting related discovery (2009):
