Thank you! I'm curious what the cost was to run this stack for one month?

In the blog post Marta said:

> In the month of April, we served 30 million learners on our platform

How much did it cost to run this whole stack on GCP in April 2020? Was it $150,000? More or less?
I think you overestimate the percentage of Chrome users who use Chrome for the extensions rather than other reasons ("it's fast", "it's what I'm used to", "I like Google", "Firefox is weird")
His leaked manifesto.
While I wish I had a good amount of credible sources on hand to post with this comment, I only really have suggestive anecdotal data.

Mayo Clinic isn't as good as you might think when it comes to musculoskeletal issues. They're great with infectious diseases though. In this case, I'd take caution with their thoughts on osteoporosis.

For example, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. For the longest time Mayo Clinic denied it was a real condition. Then they agreed that 1/3 types was a real condition. Now they accept all types, or at least say they do, but try to chase away a large amount of people that have it for some reason. Finally, their surgery/treatment protocols are statistically quite bad now that they've started treating it. They've ruined a good amount of people's lives with bad surgical methods related to the syndrome... On the other hand, Boston Massachusetts General Hospital excels at musculoskeletal issues, especially thoracic outlet syndrome.

This is coming from somebody diagnosed with TOS at Mayo Clinic, going to MGH for surgical options as the average review from people having treatment at Mayo was terrible. Mass Gen. found that my case was much worse than Mayo had reported in their notes, and that their treatment protocol would've made me quite worse. Mass Gen. attempts a large amount of re-do surgeries for this syndrome with surprisingly good outcome, and people who had bad surgery at Mayo Clinic are their largest percentage of re-do's.

Just a thought I think should be out there. Like most institutions it would seem, Mayo is really good at some things... And really bad at others.
Why is the ruling stupid? It seems like an entirely reasonable check on the power of the governor. The health department and governor can order a binding shelter in place, but the elected state representatives have the power to overrule it.

Shouldn't the majority be able to revoke such an order if they want?
> I also think those who want to use Typescript should do so, and stop pretending they're doing anything with Javascript.

It's constructive to make claims like people using Typescript are "pretending" to do something and should stop.

People use Typescript because they've decided that Javascript with static typing is useful.
Source? I remember multiple cited authors coming out in support of Damore.
“The Patriot Act should be repealed in its entirety, set on fire and buried in the ground,” Evan Greer, the deputy director of Fight For The Future, told Motherboard. “It’s one of the worst laws passed in the last century, and there is zero evidence that the mass surveillance programs it enables have ever saved a single human life.” -> this about sums up my thoughts on the article too..
Very much this. I have spent a considerable post-PhD period developing "new widgets" as you put it, and I constantly feel the benefit of (a) the early training of my PhD and (b) the benefit of commercial work done in the framework of "(a)". That seems a bit obscure, but think of it as this analogy:

Person A never does any serious training in a sport, and then goes on to spend 10 years playing "hit and giggle" tennis (say). They probably get a bit better.

Person B spends several years in their youth doing tennis lessons at a high level. They then never take another tennis lesson, ever, but they spend the same 10 years as person A playing recreational tennis, using the skills they have built in their youth as a framework.

I feel that a lot of the stuff I've done recently builds more on the work I did as a commercial researcher (2006-2017, particularly) than it does on my PhD work, but I also think that the 2006-2017 work greatly benefited from my PhD.
> given that they had the bug, Chrome was absolutely in the right to deny them the first time

Sure, but if that bug gets fixed, why reject the fix?

Also, if that's the bug that was the concern, it would certainly be nice to have something in the email along the lines of "We don't want extensions to ask for access to every website anywhere on the Internet, so please narrow your http and https permission request."

> they're too busy to explain to everyone what they're doing wrong

If a human flagged this, how much longer would it have taken to add the sentence above to the email? Or even write that instead of the useless generic boilerplate that's in the email?

If, OTOH, an automated bot flagged this (which is what I suspect, and what others seem to suspect too), why didn't whoever wrote the automated bot put at least some kind of clue in the script that writes the email? Something like "if bad thing #6 is found, add text XYZ to the email".

I agree. This is hackernews, so it is easy why devs would feel otherwise, but as a nondev, I represent the the end users.

Why would anyone think it is appropriate for google to reveal their hand, and allow blackhat operators to build apps up to the max limit of permissions? (If they were revealed by google via white glove customer service).

If goog did provide guidance on permissions, goog would literally have to audit every app in the store, or come up with a way to separate bad actors from good ones.

So, Im sorry. No. If its between 1 hacker's inconvenience or in extreme case , livelyhood....and the retirement savings bank account of many grandmas, i am going to side with grandmas.

Google is doing many things wrong. Keeping the "red line" of allowable permissions secret, from data-hungry developers.... is not one of them.
For what it’s worth, I had an extremely severe vitamin D deficiency (8 nmol/L - not a mistake!) measured in mid summer, despite going outside 5hrs a week on my commute by bicycle. I’m pale and Scottish.

I now take a supplement every few days and my level is up to around 150. I feel much better now.

Point is, if anyone’s reading this and thinking they can’t be deficient because they are outside a lot, that is not a always the case.
note, this also works if you add 'move' in between 're' and 'ddit' (i.e. removeddit)

I already told you about these. "(Shenmue 3, Outer Wilds, Pheonix Point)" Also some of the issues with such a large investment from a Chinese company "Tencent" seem rather obvious to me at this point, and to insinuate it's a sort of sinophobia just reeks of intellectual disingenuousness.

Right, it adds a moment, which is force times a distance. Which doesn't need to be explained to the average reader, but at least the article should say it puts more weight on the neck, or something like that.
That's a weird way to look at it. It's not like you're dead for 4-6 years... The start of your PhD is effectively like your working life - albeit a underpaid-but-interesting period. On net my PhD has almost certainly paid off the (ahem) 4-6 year-ish period (ha, ha) that it took me to get a PhD.

Incidentally, 4-6 years is a bit of a wildly optimistic estimate, even if you're not as big a screw-up as I was.

People say that privilege isn't an attack. But when I search for it on my Facebook, 4 of the 5 were used to deride and the other is "May you, at least once, have the privilege of writing code that never goes away and is never looked at again."

Also if you search reddit for whether trans women or trans men possess male privilege you will find people arguing as if their life depended on it. And these people seem to very involved in movements where the use of the term is the most frequent so should be the most acquainted with it's use and definition.
Your argument doesn’t really makes sense. I spent a lot of time fixing my run and posture and indirectly how I walk due to injuries.

You 100% want to be moving correctly. Correct, efficient movement also helps with injuries. They’re related.

Once you are moving correctly, getting more exercise injury free is trivial. You just work longer, heavier or faster. You don’t need to move inefficiently (and probably incorrectly) to “get more exercise”.
That's not gonna help if you're using any part of the standard library though (or presumably most 3rd-party modules), since it's written in TS, right?
How much time have spent with TypeScript? I'm sincerely asking, because the answer is either "not much" or you didn't do a lot of research. You've misunderstood (or chosen not to investigate) some very fundamental things about TypeScript.

> function add(x: number, y: number): number {...}

You don't have to do this in TypeScript. In fact, you can use TypeScript without transpiling your code and without creating any types yourself.

Why would you do that? Because a lot of open-source libraries now come with types included, so you get type-checking for those APIs essentially for free.

> I'd just use Java

Java has a nominal type system. If you want a new type, you have to create it.

TypeScript has structural typing with type inference. That means you "just code" and the compiler will pick up your types if you go. If you write inconsistent code, it'll warn you. If you want to refactor a type, you now have enough metadata for your code to do that confidently.

> When is Typescript going to have its own version of the V8 engine and just leave JavaScript out of it?

Microsoft has had its own V8 competitor since around the time TypeScript was released[1]. They literally can't leave JavaScript out of TypeScript because every JavaScript program is a valid TypeScript program. TypeScript is a superset of Javascript. Other than the type system, it does not introduce any new features that are not on the EcmaScript roadmap.

> harkens back to the classic Microsoft Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy

Uh, no, it doesn't, because they have (A) open-sourced all of it, and (B) they haven't extinguished anything. Even if they did, there are massive numbers of people, including Google, who use TypeScript in production and would keep it going. There is no practical way to extinguish anymore.

In fact, all of their behavior (e.g. with the .NET ecosystem) suggests that Microsoft doesn't do those things anymore.

Oh, "wait for me" doesn't refer to an automatically-generated signup email ("me" is not "server I provisioned").

"wait for me" literally means "wait for human to create email and send it to new user".

Wow, yeah. That doesn't seem good.
Just a random though but if they want speed they could consider making a typescript JIT instead of typescript -> javascript. Typed languages can run much faster than untyped. Maybe that's impossible with current typescript given anything can be changed, eg (30 minutes into running something does Math.floor = ... etc, but maybe some kind of escape analysis could help or maybe push for some new keyword to mark code as safe to optimize.

You could use a separate git repository for the dependencies. That way you keep your core project repo tight and small and clean, but you still have your dependencies under version control. If that separate repo grows to a few GBs or more it doesn't really hurt anything.
I had the opposite reaction. Walking costs no money, is something most of us do everyday, and small changes can dramatically affect quality of life over time. I’d compare it to sleeping or brushing your teeth.

The CDC report key takeaways section is recommended reading
I think this is bad advice for most people. "An excellent advisor at Mississippi State will do you far more good than a crappy one at Stanford. And will probably cost a lot less."

I applied to 6 schools - doing the "bracketing" thing (CMU+UCB as "reach" schools, Wisconsin-Madison & Washington as "mid" schools and Columbia and U Colorado Boulder as safety schools). I got into everywhere but UCB and Washington, but CMU was my first choice so I was super-happy.

The thing was - there were specific people at Boulder and Columbia that I thought I wanted to work with, but I checked a couple years later out of curiosity, and they'd moved on (around the time I would have been doing a thesis proposal). My first adviser at CMU also went to industry after a couple years and I had to switch advisors and fields, but had a number of excellent choices - as top-tier schools are packed with really good people.

So if your interests shift, or you are forced to have an advisor change, or you wind up working in an area with some adjacencies to your original area (say you start as a networks person but wind up doing a half-networks, half-operating system PhD) you will find good advisors and coadvisors aplenty at a good school.

At an "OK" school there are usually some really good people but they may have zero good people in whole subfields, and you might find that that good academic has left before you start your PhD proper...

There weren't any "Civil Rights" rulings (note capital letters) prior to the mid-1960s, as the legislation and legal system supporting it didn't exist prior to that.[0]

Modern "Civil Rights" is a parallel legal system in the US that overrides the former Anglo-derived legal system (though both are still on the books) whenever they conflict.

That's why you get people on the Right muttering about "muh Constitution" wondering why Supreme Court rulings that were considered impossible 70 years ago are commonplace today. Civil Rights legislation even overrides the Bill of Rights.

It is what is. But it's 100% anachronistic to being talking about Civil Rights rulings in 1905—that's roughly equivalent to discussing Marxist governance in ancient Rome.

----

To those downvoting, explain the right already lost in the 1st Amendment to Civil Rights: the right to be a racist asshole and choose who you associate with. That was 100% legal under any Anglo-derived system (hell, it's literally in the Bill of Rights!), but it's obviously not legal under a Civil Rights regime. Hence, what was once legal is now illegal, "muh Constitution" and "muh Bill of Rights" or not.

And why didn't it take an amendment to the Constitution to lose that right? Precisely because Civil Rights established its own legal system and justifications, allowing the Supreme Court to re-interpret previously held rights through the lens of Civil Rights whenever convenient. Boom: no more legislation and laws supporting racist assholes.

This is also why things like The Federalist Society and their quote-unquote originalists are so potentially damaging. When they say "originalist", they literally mean the original Anglo-derived legal system (complete with racist assholes) vs. the new Civil Rights-derived legal system. That's what the conflict is about.

Nothing I've written here should be remotely controversial.

[0] Not strictly true, the rulings started in the mid-1950s with Brown v. Board of Education, and you can find various overrides of the Anglo-derived system even further back.... However, I would argue the legal (as opposed to ethical) basis for earlier decisions is dubious, and didn't actually arrive until the mid-1960s.

>but those attributes have no correlation with job performance
Ah, but this jealousy makes perfect sense if God is indeed the ‘father of everything’. It is common in contemporary Christian parlance to refer to idols as things that distract us from God. This is a very useful concept that is born directly out of that commandment. And why no idols? Because any construct of the mind that interferes with seeing true reality is probably going to end badly- like someone in a blindfold walking off a pier.

Well there never a guarantee of miracles. But wheat and barley didn't start out as marginal soil crops.

And kangaroos are adapted to low calorie food and low water now. If you bulked them out to be 'better', that is bigger, fatter, more tender, they would need more calories for fat and more water to support more mass. So, no, there is no "all we need to do...".

But when your attitude is 'these brown native people would never figure this out' perspective, it's easy to think in terms of "all we need to do...".
I do wonder why Bernie didn't vote (and why some people voted against this), but it's also possible that it wouldn't have mattered.

The real voting is often done at the party whip level. If McConnell knew Bernie was going to show up and vote, it's possible that another Republican would have voted nay.
Walking “properly” is a topic of interest for me. I believe it can be reduced to one main constraint: ensure most effort is spent by abdominal muscle in your core, with limbs and the (importantly) neck as relaxed as possible. Other characteristics of “proper” walk naturally emerge as the easiest way of following that constraint[0].

I find that walking “properly” wakes me up, has some positive effects on my well-being, and can be difficult at times. Unevenly paved surfaces (like some cobblestone pavements) seem to complicate walking “lazily”, forcing me into the proper way of walking.

[0] IMO articles like TFA tend to focus on those “cosmetic” characteristics, thus entirely missing the point.
Interesting to note that one of the reasons this did not pass is Bernie Sanders' failure to support the amendment.

Keep that in mind next time someone riles about how Bernie is a champion for the average American. I, for one, am glad he will never be President.
> bypasses the shelves

It's obviously inefficient to send someone to a store to grab stuff, but "giant room with products on shelves" is a pretty efficient setup. They can do some of it in the back room, or a warehouse full of pallets, but to a large extent companies end up building "dark stores" that are almost the same as a normal store, but with no customers allowed in.
