it seems like you're falling for the exact fallacy described in the article... maybe intentionally to be provocative?

siegler notes that we're all complex beings who can be assholes some of the time. he notes jordan also has a great sense of branding and image, and plays it up for the camera.

but there's no doubt that given the level of talent and relative parity at the top of any sport, you need to develop an edge, and jordan could do that, by poking, prodding, and pushing his teammates to rise rather than remain complacent.

“Winning has a price. And leadership has a price.”

the price jordan paid wasn't at the expense of the respect and friendship of his teammates, otherwise they wouldn't have won so much together. in other words, he wasn't just an asshole.
Wouldn't it be nice if they provided all of that and more with a REST API?
I found some very interesting quotes towards the bottom of that article, that seem to address some of the concerns about her credibility I've seen in the comments:

> The Tampa Bay Times automatically checks for changes in the data and archives new updates. Shortly before 10:12 a.m on May 4., data still included the EventDate field, showing records with listed dates that people reported symptoms as early as January 1. By 3:02 p.m., the column was gone.

For much of the next day, May 5, the column was either missing or empty, with every row listing “None.” Finally, it returned shortly before 8:02 p.m.

Times reporters asked Health Department spokesman Alberto Moscoso that day why the data disappeared. Two days later, he said, “This field continues to be represented on the Department’s COVID-19 Dashboard.”

Moscoso did not reply to requests for comment Tuesday.

According to internal emails reviewed by the Times, Department of Health I.T. Director Craig Curry emailed Rebekah Jones just before 5 p.m. on May 5. He cited Dr. Carina Blackmore, director for the Division of Disease Control and Health Protection.

“Per Dr. Blackmore, disable the ability to export the data to files from the dashboard immediately. We need to ensure that dates (date fields) in all objects match their counterpart on the PDF line list published,” Curry wrote.

The tables in the PDF documents did not include the column of data showing when symptoms were first reported, only the “Case Date” — the date the state recorded and confirmed the case.

“This is the wrong call,” Jones replied minutes later.

A few minutes later, she emailed Curry again. “Case line data is down.”

Then, just after 6 p.m., the I.T. director emailed both Jones and Dr. Blackmore. “Re-enable for now please.”

Jones replied, “10-4.”

Neither Dr. Blackmore nor Curry replied to requests for comment.
Maybe, but why is fairness on this one particular axis the only one I ever hear about?

Look at the 100m sprint. Of the top 25 (regardless of gender), as far as I can tell, none of them have two X chromosomes.

But none of them are Caucasian, either.

Why isn't there a large movement arguing that sprinters should only be allowed to compete against those of the same race? If I (as a white man) took up sprinting (ha!), it would kind of suck knowing that I don't seem to stand a chance of setting the world record just because of my genes. But it seems like white sprinters manage to deal with it.

And, well, if there were separate races for people of different races... that wouldn't really change anything, would it? The world's fastest sprinter would still probably be non-white, the only real difference would be that the world's fastest white sprinter would get to say "I'm the world's fastest white sprinter (but still not the world's fastest sprinter)". You're just giving out an extra trophy- everybody knows who's actually the fastest.

Why isn't this argument valid for sex separation in sports, too?

It would be fantastic if Moderna can manufacture and deliver the mRNA into human cells cost effectively and at scale.

Outside the cell, there are enzymes that cut up mRNA. So lipid nanoparticles are used to protect the mRNA. But then even if this makes it into the cell, the nanoparticle itself can be ejected by cell machinery.

If the mRNA can avoid ribonuclease long enough for the mRNA to be translated into protein rather than being degraded, then it seems pretty straightforward that the protein may be bound by MHC and make it to antigen presentation, T cell activation, B cell activation and hopefully affinity maturation and Memory B cells for the viral protein.

Yea, this is so frustrating. ACH fees are sub cent. Have people ACH money (buy credits) to the provider. Then payments are simply updating a balance. Pay out when a user makes a certain amount.

The legality makes it difficult but with a few hundred thousand you can get all the licenses. It's tough to find a partner bank but with any sort of funding it would be easier to get meetings.

You don't even need to start online. It's my world and what I'd want to do, but brick and mortar stores would kill for lower fees. Could start in a single state at physical retail and really cut down on the MSB licenses needed.
Does Christie's frequently traffic in stolen goods? Is it possible that groups sometimes just defer to Christie's judgement when determining if something can legally be bought and sold or not?

Well your comment isn’t particularly coherent then.
PyPy supports C extensions as does GraalPython.
They've announced that Linux GUI apps are coming later this year to WSL2; while that is possible without GPU, I imagine MS wants a decent UX for the feature, though, which suggests...
I believe the purpose is for devs who are deploying to Linux, their toolchain may not fully work in Windows, but they want to have a similar dev/test env within Windows... pretty much the whole point of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). It's not that the frameworks don't work on Windows, it's the deployment tech, like Docker, Ansible, their build scripts etc etc. Some users may be doing something totally custom on top of the GPU without a framework layer but that is probably very few users. I'd have to guess though that those users would be the type of users that would get MS to go through the effort though...
I also agree that this is a problem. This is why we're evaluating the old-school solutions for each problem. For payroll, this is ADP + PayChex; for knowledge bases this is Confluence; for payment processors we're even dealing with Authorize.net, even though I'd think most startups would eliminate that choice based on repressed memories alone.

I believe we've also done a good job of this in our current guides: we discuss LegalZoom and lawyers in our incorporation service guide (even though bonafide startup incorporation services themselves are relatively novel), and for our store of money guide we even went so far as to stick our money into Fidelity (the definition of old school) to get a cash management comparable.

Our event-based analytics guide doesn't have any old school evaluation, but that's because event-based analytics tools, in the grand scheme of things, are really quite a recent development.
While it seems that a peacock shouldn't be that hard to deal with, being a relatively docile, flight-averse bird of moderate size, it and birds of similar stature can definitely mangle human hands and deliver lacerations that require stitches and may get infected.

The biggest lie about the program is that it ended.

The second biggest lie is that it was about doing crazy shit, and failed.

The best designed date picker I have encountered is the Win 10 calendar widget that appears when you click the clock on the bottom right. I wonder why people just don't copy that design for their website.
You are conflating two forms of free speech: The right to freedom of speech enshrined in the constitution and the norm of free speech that we all tend to grant each other. Of course YouTube is a private company and can ban and delete whatever they want. But they are breaking a norm and the consequences of that may be worse than the consequences of letting us watch videos of crazy people.

I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it: The original formulations of freedom of speech weren't about protecting the rights of the speaker or writer. They were about protecting the rights of those who wanted to listen or read. Every time you ban a document or silence a speaker, you are also preventing people from reading what they want to read or hearing what they want to hear. That harm is far greater than whatever happens to the author.

Again, YouTube is a private company and they can do whatever they want when it comes to curating the information they store. I would be against any law that compelled them to host information that they didn't want to host. But in the long run, I think their current policy is extremely counterproductive. Imagine if YouTube existed 30 years ago. Would they have banned atheist views? Would they have banned videos critical of Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal? What about videos endorsing transgender ideas? Many views that were considered crazy at that time are now acceptable today. Suppressing heterodox views means that fewer are exposed to them and moral progress is impeded. Yes, most fringe ideas are bullshit, but every once in a while we stumble onto a diamond: Slavery is wrong. Men and women should have the same rights. Homosexuals should have the same rights as heterosexuals. Etc. These were all extremely controversial ideas when they first came into the public sphere. Earlier versions of our society suppressed them as dangerous misinformation.

So far, we haven't figured out a way to separate good ideas from bad ones besides exposing people to them and seeing which memes reproduce in the population. In other words: If you ban people like Alex Jones, you also ban people who are activists for causes that society will adopt in the future. And we all end up worse off.

There are certainly views that we hold today that future generations will condemn us for. Better that we discover them sooner rather than later.
no one said they are perfect..

on the end of the day they are a public traded company and like so their number one objective is make shareholders more money..

but they did changed a lot from the 90s microsoft, although they still have a long way to go.
No, none of that. This is different.

Imagine a public town square. Would you want any company acting as the gatekeeper, deciding what speech is allowed or not in that setting?

YouTube, Twitter and a few others are effectively the new town square. I don't think we want to end up in a position where a few corporations are dictating acceptable speech and open debate.
So they share the moral code of as the great state-run museums of England, France, Italy, and Spain? That's good to know actually.
Would they really? Or would it be the same outrage as when people realised Google is selling their data, or when Facebook is monitoring every move they make?

What I'm getting to is; if people wanted something better, something better would've come along already.
Most developers are shielded by user ignorance, if users knew what happens behind the scenes at most banks, they wouldn't want to bank with them anymore. Same goes for almost every software system.

I avoid Rachel Maddow for the same reason I don't bother with the majority of Fox presenters. MSNBC is quite liberal and as much as I like Ari Melber, Chris Hayes and Nicole Wallace, they don't always keep their biases in check.

I remember playing a game that for once simulated "business"

It was called "Executive Suite" by the amusingly named "Armonk Corporation" :)

The problem is not that the New York Times website is using too much memory for the average system. The problem is that it is using several orders of magnitude more memory to run ad-related JS in the background than it needs for the user-desired functionalitty.
> More time to enjoy life!

What if I enjoy life by buying a fancy coffee & drinking it on my walk to work?

The downside of your formulation of "why buy coffee? you could be enjoying life instead!" is that this worldview encourages people to feel guilty about buying coffee. Extreme frugality has its place, but remember that "your life" that you have to enjoy isn't something that starts in 5 years or 10 years or once you save $x, it's what's happening right now, all the time. I might not be alive in 5 years, none of has that guarantee. So I enjoy my coffee.

It sounds like you enjoy frugality for its own sake which is fantastic, and more power to you. But I think most personal financial planners would suggest that you have a goal you're working towards rather than "hoard cash." What's the point of that? "Thats ELEVEN THOUSAND euro I could probably be doing something more interesting with" figure out what that "something more interesting" is and it might make sense to forgo your daily coffee. Hoarding cash is not a goal.

> If we take 50 years it is 55 000 euro.

Yippee! I'm 85 years old (assuming I haven't died already) and I have an extra €55k. Am I allowed to drink coffee now?
> My experience is that as a technical person with a beefy computer, I am mostly frustrated by the knowledge of how much of a waste these apps are, and how much faster they could start/run on my devices.

I understand this point, and I definitely agree. But I'm also of the opinion that some of these companies wouldn't be as popular if they tried to build native apps from the start. They wouldn't be able to move so quickly, and would be restrained by money and resources. Of course, once you grow (Slack & Spotify) you should invest in making the experience as painless as possible.

If you already know perl -pie well, then it may not be worth it to switch to Awk unless maybe you do a lot of embedded development.

Awk is part of posix so is pre-installed and available nearly everywhere, even on many embedded devices. Busybox for example includes an implementation of Awl. Even my super cheap home router had an awk interpreter on it. Perl is also decreasingly commonly installed. On the latest Fedora for example I had to install it explicitly. Awk is still installed by default.
I really lament Newegg. It was very awesome for a long time in a way that Amazon couldn't match.

Lately, the 3rd-party market has really turned me off of them.
I think that last part is exactly the problem. Many legacy systems are poorly modularized and so large with such complex interactions that it's hard to figure out where to start cutting.
Even if that lawsuit is successful against Christie's, Hobby Lobby's actions were still illegal. Who cares who is on the hook for the auction price?

I think you might have gotten a little carried away with your rhetoric there, that would mean keeping your job. ;) But this serves an important point, which is that vitriolic rhetoric can creep in even when the writer is a Hackernews commenter steeped in a culture of dry language and with no strong emotions or anything at stake. Filtering out information that comes along with vitriol is like filtering out any paragraph that uses the word "and" an even number of times.
Thanks. It took me a bit to get to it, but I've watched it.

I am something of a fan of onions. They are good lung support, but can be somewhat hard on the gut. Vidalia's have always been my favorite onion because they are so mild, so they are easier on my touchy gut.

It's one of the reasons your article caught my eye.

Best of luck with your endeavors, both online (finding your writing voice) and off (selling onions, or whatever it is you do out in meat space).
> the biggest mistake the linux ecosystem did, was being so fragmented.

I'm not sure how many times I have pointed this out here, but given the lack of a standardized desktop environment, that is the reason why most software companies are reluctant to support Linux users. But in contrast with 'Android' in the mobile industry has succeeded in doing this with Linux as its kernel.

For a typical or even a complex desktop app, I can support 100% of all Windows users, 100% of the time. macOS is more or less the same here. Linux distros however has this fragmentation running so deep that to target the majority of users there, you must supporting 5+ distros they could be running. That's 5+ CIs to maintain and 5+ troubleshooting guides to update here.

As even Linus Torvalds would say: > 'I still wish we were better at having a standardize desktop that goes across all the distributions… It’s not a kernel issue. It’s more of a personal annoyance how the fragmentation of the different vendors have, I think, held the desktop back a bit. ' This is a distro ecosystem problem, not a 'kernel' issue.
The initial implementation of WSL was not mandated by the business. it was created by the developers that were tasked with exploring how to run Android apps (on the ms phone) and they went bananas and invented and created WSL. First later the business side of Microsoft came in to play on wsl
I don't think it's a question of what people ultimately like. It's that change is frustrating, especially for only marginal benefit.

I like the ribbon today, and I complained when it was released. And I stand by that complaint, I think pushback against change serves an important role, and developers should feel pain when making UX changes.

It's not just a matter of some changes being bad, even when they're good there's a cost. My grandparents both had iPhones, loved them and loved learning to do different things on them. Whenever I'd visit they'd have a laundry list of things they wanted to learn to do. Over time, that list was slowly supplanted by relearning how to do things they once knew, but had changed. It was extremely frustrating because so much of it was near-pointless. Easy for me (and most of their test-base, I'm sure) to relearn, but very difficult for nonagenarians.
Mods of Reddit made Reddit to what it is. When the first Mod of iama claimed that sub the sub was empty. The fact that many top subs have the same mod means that the mod knows how to run a sub that interests users. I have no problem with that. The only issue is that once a sub starts to get worse it is hard for users to unite and make a new sub. That is thanks to tools such as automod that allow them to ban users based on key words. The solution is simple, just keep a log of whatever the mods do. Everytime they removed a post or ban a user that information goes into the log. That way if there is a moment going on it will be harder for mods to squash it
> Interesting how few are interested in the defense that Hobby Lobby was a victim.

This is just one page in the years-long story of Hobby Lobby's theft of thousands of antiquities. [1] Their attempt to pin one little piece of it on Christie's would, regardless of its legal merits, be met with boredom or skepticism even if the company weren't run by far-right religious fanatics.

This is much more sensible; their previous 10,000 block limit was rather fishy. I only gave it a shot for few minutes, when there was hype around it and those blocks filled up fast.
