I was going to say, that doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Excluding this current incident, PIA has killed 102 passengers and crew since 2000.

The most expansive view of Southwest’s record would include 4 fatalities: one passenger, two people on the ground, and another passenger who died of a medical issue while being restrained.

One of those ground deaths was because someone walked onto the runway and was hit by a landing 737, so I’m not inclined to blame Southwest for that.
Everything in Hasura is configured declaratively. The web GUI is essentially just updating that configuration. There are a few options:

1. You use the GUI and then export/import the metadata

2. You can use the GUI and as you do, the GUI will keep incrementally updating the metadata configuration file and even create database migrations for you in your folder on your machine, kind of like an IDE

3. You can stop using the UI altogether, and just write the configuration by hand

It sounds like "this is the first time I've seen this build system and don't really see how it works, would be better to change it to a more often used one".

Which is fair for a security auditor, but it stems from the newness of the project and nothing inherently bad with it - like I doubt they know what actually happens inside whatever other build system other's use, but since they empirically know it poses no threat they are okay with it.

The government posts stats [0]. For the more blue/white collar work: Education, training and library occupations is at 14.0%, Arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media occupations is at 18.6% hit which is not surprising as all sports are pretty much cancelled currently.

Okay, I hated taking SATs as much as anyone, and have an AP exam in a few hours, so I'm no standardized test fan. But there are reasons for it that obviously don't apply in the same ways when evaluating job applicants. While some objective comparison might be helpful, this is a massive apples-and-oranges issue.

* College applicants have, by and large, no real-world experience that demonstrates their competency. There are obviously exceptions, but this remains true of the vast majority. Most job applicants have at least some experience, so it's easier to weed out the fruit loops by taking a look at their resumes. There's a lot more high-quality objective information by which one could compare job applicants than college applicants.

* Job applications typically narrow the pool to a few candidates to be seriously evaluated. College bureaucrats have thousands. It's more realistic for a potential employer to perform more "holistic" evaluations then for a college to do so simply because of problems of scale. The interviews used to fill most of this role, but bureacrats have gradually shouldered that role: my parents had interviews of two hours for most of their colleges, which seemed to be common for that day. I had interviews of forty-five minutes when they went well, and this was true for my peers as well. Now I guess some administrator sits in a dark room and by the light of a single candle looks up your extracurriculars to determine your zodiac sign and thus your fitness for the school, or whatever garbage they came up with.

Where do you usually see the subjective, interview-style evaluations break down in favor of whiteboarding? Big FAANGs that have a scale that makes that sort of individual evaluation difficult and may necessitate whiteboarding. Universities hit this same problem, only with the added concern that there's even less consistent basic competency: about one third [0] of students require remedial courses and therefore probably ought not to have been admitted to college. So there has to be at least some metric by which they can consistently compare.

On the other hand, I applied to a bunch of "elite" schools that all had black-box "holistic admissions" processes. What frustrated me wasn't that "Oh no, now I can't game the system; drat!" Rather, I didn't know what to emphasize for best effect because they didn't make what they valued clear. I had enough stuff about which I could write that I could pick and choose, and I wasn't sure which I ought to pick. This made things like ordering my resume and writing my essays more difficult. You know who probably could have told me what to write about and how to order my resume, though? A fancy, expensive college consultant. Making the process more opaque only helps those who literally pay people to sit around and figure out how to game the system.

I used to speed them up as well but I stopped doing it for now as I feel like the time is not only there to hear the words and the surface meaning (I can do that at 2x), but to digest it and take it further inspire thought in myself. I sometimes even pause and think.

Depends on the type of show of course. But if they are talking about some interesting deep topic, I find it useful to use that time to think more.

Really it depends what you're testing and deploying. For instance, if you're developing a new microservice, it's helpful to be working with the same service discovery mechanism that is running in your production cluster. When you're testing, presumably you also want to ideally test any Kubernetes changes that you make before you deploy to your production servers. Krucible is ideal for that.
Why would they do that? What's the incentive?

Ginni Rometty was simultaneously the IBM CEO, President, and Head of the Board of Directors until recently.

She stepped down as President and CEO and retains her position on the Board, while Arvind Khrishna stepped up as IBM CEO and Jim Whitehurst, former CEO of Red Hat, became IBM President.

The speculation (and it is only speculation) is that Jim will spend a year or so as President while being groomed for the CEO job when Arvind retires.

With Skype you're definitely able to receive separate streams from each participant, as I can access them individually via NDI and pipe them into OBS to do live multi-party interviews. You can see the resolution of individual feeds change when their bandwidth drops, and you can choose high/low bandwidth and latency modes for each feed. I would guess Zoom does the same but doesn't provide an NDI feed (yet).

> And yet, on the other hand, the whole point of investing is to perennially keep a portfolio fresh and full of the most cutting edge, margin heavy firms (when adjusted for risk adjusted returns compared to the nominal risk free return rate). Well, theoretically anyways.

I understand what you are saying here, but this perspective sees investment as the driver of the creativity of cities, while another perspective that I put more weight on is that the creativity of cities and the culture they create is a byproduct of human social/group psychology, itself a result of the fundamental reality that there is more security in numbers.

Investment, whether private or public, is then just a way of incentivizing the creativity machine of natural human agglomerations to produce ever more novel stuff.

Or put more succinctly: culture leads, investment follows.
Please try in the largest democracy India and many other commonwealth democracy with common law jurisdiction. It’s an offence and that too criminal and many of those nations will invoke British colonial era, sedition laws to punish, torture protestors.

I do understand the definition of freedom of expression as defined in many constitutions and also in common law jurisdiction, which I understand better than continental law jurisdiction followed by Germany, Japan and China.
What hardware do you use it with?
No, nix can cache already built binaries with hydra, so on a normal system it simply downloads from there - same speed as apt or the like.

> Putting aside the topic of how easy is it to understand a trained ML model,

I wouldn't say it's easy to understand a trained ML model. If you don't have access to it, it's a black box that can be hard to penetrate. But if you do have access to it, it's fairly easy to figure out how to trick it into doing what you want.

Example scenario: in a dystopian 2030 America, judges are replaced by ML models where you just input a bunch of parameters and the model spits out the judgment. Soon:

Divorced Husband: "Why do you keep calling the non-emergency police line to concern troll?"

Divorced Wife: "So the ML judge will give me custody of the kids"

(number of calls to police as an input to ML model is being gamed to alter outcome in one party's favor)

Unless this has changed in recent years, the BSON format that Mongo uses is more or less JSON optimized for parsing speed and takes more or less as much space as storing your entire database in JSON.

JSON is a great format for simplicity and readability but as a storage format it's hard to come up with one that's more bloated.

also believe me, if you were unemployed and IBM was knocking at your door, you would take any job they gave you if it depended on feeding your family. your "priorities" would shift very quickly.

If that's true (and I don't think it is) that's a serious problem.

Yes and no on the language argument. Written Chinese, sure, but Taiwan's Fuzhou/Hokchew-based dialects are far from the Cantonese of HK and neighboring Guangdong/_Canton_. These dialects branched apart very early, about 2000 years ago, and saying they are more similar vs mandarin is kind of like saying that French and Spanish are much closer than French and Italian because Basque is closer to French than standard Italian. Most commonalities in pronunciation are due to both dialects preserving some older Chinese pronunciations, but overall pronunciation and vernacular word choice are very, very different.
That is a truly worrying reply to read but on first read appears to make a lot of sense.

I have spent the last few minutes searching for some kind of government response to this and all I can find is basically along the lines of "lift lockdown, reopen and things will go back to how they were, these numbers are just temporary".

Is this really the official government position on the matter? Seems they are saying re-open with a few new measures in place to encourage distancing and it will all be fine??

That really does not make much sense to me.

I don't understand half of what this means. Does it rule out MongoDB if you care about your data?
Initially I was confused about the permissions in data approach, as it becomes harder to declaratively audit the current set of applied permissions. I’m not a massive fan of migrations in yaml generally (I do miss alembic) but it does the job. It occurs to me though that everything in data means you can do migrations atomically, including all the permissions changes.

Internally we have a little tool that dumps the current state of the permissions into a txt file that we commit in the repo. This makes it easier to get a snapshot of the permissions as well as compare what’s changed. The Hasura internal tables are pretty self explanatory so it only took an hour or so to knock up.

Ps, love hasura. I suspect we’ll end up running it in front of all our data layers eventually. If there was an easily hackable admin front end that sits over graphql I’d be interested in hearing about it. Leaning towards Forrest admin at the moment, but I’m still not 100% sold.

> I believe this would not have happened if people did not start desecrating the Chinese flag, and on top carry colonial ruler and US flags to protest against China, in their own country. I have yet to see an example in a democratic nation where population can take a flag of another country or a colonial ruler in protest against their own country, and government will seat silently.

People burn American flags in US protests. It’s constitutionally protected speech. So are all those other things.

If those things were illegal under Hong Kong law, the perpetrators can be prosecuted under their laws. China is once again going back on its promise to let Hong Kong have self-rule for 50 years.

Your defense that other countries do it, or that the protesters did some bad things doesn’t mean much.
