The short “answer” is that the reaction step needs to form a carbon-carbon bond, which isn’t always trivial to make. A fully carbon backbone is likely not reactive in the way they need it to be here.

Certain “weird” metals like zinc, tin, and silicon (And these are the more normal ones) have been found to be able to help with this type of chemistry. The reason for why these metals are useful gets into orbital mechanics, but the core idea is that they can facilitate carbon-carbon bond formation.

The sulphur and fluorine are standard as part of the triflate functional group — it is a stable leaving group based on wanting electrons and being stable once it grabs those electrons (The sulphur can facilitate reasonable stabilisation).

Hold up, the point of the trial is so people can try the app for free. Then, after having tried the app, users can choose to pay. Or not.

There is no issue about misleading customers here, because many apps promise features that don't work well or have other problems and the only ways for the user to figure out if an app is worth it is by (a) reading reviews and (b) trying it, and that will result in an informed decision. What's the difference between misleading users about functionality and misleading them about price? In both cases you're wasting your users' time and in both cases they'll ultimately choose not to buy.

What Apple is doing here is moving the purchase decision forward, to the point where the user knows practically nothing about the product. How can you make an informed decision if all you've seen are a couple of screenshots and some vague list of features on the App store page?
They absolutely have opinions, often about how to interpret the law. This is why Supreme Court decisions always have the "dissenting opinion" document listing out why they think the majority decision was incorrect.

Many laws are not so black and white that the decision is explicit. You have to handle weird chain of custody questions, whether evidence was seized lawfully, etc, etc.

Disclaimer, I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advise. What health details is it asking for? If I was the DBA, what data would I see? Does this university have a medical facility and is this database managed in the group that also manage patient data? If so, have the legal team reviewed this chat bot usage?

I would probably match the categories against HIPAA [0] as a starting point and then ask the university legal team if this was reviewed by them. If not, consider letting them handle it so that there is no retaliation against you if that project is neutralized.

Did not get you. What do you mean?
I was alive in 1983. I've used computers from that era, and I've used lots of point-of-sale and 3270 interfaces, because I came to software engineering by a route that involved a goodly number of menial day jobs early on. If you had an MBNA credit card and called customer service about it between early 2000 and mid-2001, you might have talked to me, and I probably waived your goddam late fee because that was policy to keep generally on-time-paying customers feeling good about the company.

The author of that thread is exactly right, and also kind of wrong.

They're exactly right that modern interfaces, web ones most especially, suck super bad. (I'm a web dev, I'm not disclaiming responsibility here.)

They're kind of wrong in that modern interfaces are built over enormously more complex datasets and problem domains than those to which they compare them. I mean, yeah, a Wyse-50 in a library was fast as hell at what it could do, but try getting it to show you a map, like, at all. I'm not even sure those things were character-addressable, so, good luck with that!

UI design as a concept doesn't get enough love in our very young industry. It's as complex, difficult, and necessary a discipline as software engineering, but we mostly just have software engineers build UI as an afterthought and if it sucks, oh well, so does everyone else's, and it doesn't obviously drive revenue anyway. I blame capitalism.
I think the problem with making it easy to apply for a job is that it encourages low effort applications, in essence a lot of people that don't meet the stated requirements will apply thus inflating the totals.

I used to have hiring responsibilities and I think the highest number of applications we got for a role was 57 and the company was completely unknown in a small city in the English midlands, so not exactly a tech hotstop.

A lot of the applications were not suitable at all

I expected the backlash from pharma publications going on about how the incredibly low price gilead set for the drug is going to set a precedent that might force the entire industry to cut prices and destroy profits[1]. I didnt expect the backlash from the public. The message that gilead and friends would be getting is that people will hate pharma for the sake of hating pharma, amd that the hate they get has nothing to do with their behavior, so might as well charge high prices since the anti-pharma crowd is not acting in good faith.

I think the stick outweighs the carrot! Like many of these complicated problems, there are always pros and cons, and the question is how does society weight the importance of achieving/avoiding those.

I suspect the unpleasantness of prison plus the shackles of a felony on your record more than outweighs the benefits of the education you receive - at least in the USA. But like many people, I think that prisons should reform as well as punish, so I assign a strong weight to the importance of this (IMHO) very minor moral hazard.

I was being a little facetious before re: post protest cleanups rather than engaging with you properly, and I certainly support the idea of helping minority owned businesses in principle. I suspect (or hope?) that most cleanup companies would not try to make rioting worse. On the other, the moral hazard definitely exists, there are limited downsides (i.e. the off-chance that you get caught), and if the financial incentives for the cleanup operations became big enough...

NetHack: Fast Learning Environment for Testing RLAgent Robustness&Generalization
It's more about just the name. The best way to understand is to think of India is as similar to European Union with each caste as a country. At some point all the castes intermingled, but they have their own unique set of cultures to this day. So it's more about discrimination against other set of cultures. Loosing your last name at that point is like loosing your culture.
At this level of abstraction and energy scale it's modelled as a mathematical field, but things get more tricky "underneath" just as you suggest.

I agree! I’m in the process of editing the relevant chapter.
I think there have been ideas in every society that have been taboo and not allowed to be shared. For example, in Germany nobody is allowed to speak positively about the Nazis. This is ultimately a subjective line that is drawn by the people in power and by social forces. These platforms are just enforcing their own subjective line on bigoted viewpoints. It only seems to be negative against conservatives in most cases so personally I think it’s fine, since those bigoted viewpoints tend to come mostly from conservatives.
The education market may have been seen as larger and more "addressable" when this was all in the planning stages.
Given the latency of CRT compared to modern panels, yes on that aspect alone.

Though GUI's and the like would be the main aspect for preception, the added eyecandy, then things like security, encryption... The CPU gods giveth with one hand and the software gods take more with the other hand - has played out many a time. Then the early stuff, machine code to the metal easy as less to know, today we have just fragments of library's used in coding languages that exceed are larger and than early operating systems. So the whole ability to know the whole machine inside and out is very much lost as even if you did learn it all, things would've moved on faster than you could learn.

WHich is another aspect, a user could almost know to the bit what their machine was doing, today, so many aspects and with managment cpu's in the background with microcode you can never pick apart, and more grunt and processing than early more simpler systems, the odd's of knowing the level of detail and being that intouch with what's ticking underneath is lost.

Bit like moving from manual gear changing (stick as some call it) over to automatic. You lose that connection as it is obfuscated from you. Akin to flying a plane by wire or as is the case today, by electronics - you lose that level of being in touch.
Politely, I'd consider rephrasing this in the future. Not everyone springs forth into the world with a 5kloc .vimrc. Everyone is incrementally learning from someone else at their own pace.

I love reading this. My background is similar.

At some point the "business" teacher said whoever can get at least 120 wpm in the typing game gets 100% in his class component. That must have seemed to him like an impossible achievement to motivate us.

A week or so later, a dozen of us had 100% in his part of the course and got to sit around and play games for the rest of the 6 weeks.
Out of curiosity, what do you use it for that you didn't before? I've personally found voice assistants to have an extremely limited set of use cases that are actually faster or more convenient than pulling out my phone.
Free learning coding platform with structured roadmap (Coursera free version))
for people who want to start to learn coding but do not want to spend money first.

I found a structured learning platform that is going to launch soon, they provide progress tracker, roadmap, and collaboration with other coders.

Even though the content may not be very structured like a Coursera, Udemy course, the platform definitely worth a try for free resources.

I will be sharing my review after trying it for a while, Cheers!

> It's never going to fly with airline and passengers ever again,

What are Boing's alternatives here? I guess they should go back to the drawing board and scrap this idea of just adding some large engines on a plane that was not made for them. But that fatal idea, have put them in a horrible position.

The airline business seems to be very much about saving money on fuel, and creating a new fuel efficient airplane is going to take a lot of time (which is guess is why they did this quick and dirty hack the last time, to stay competitive).

In a business like that trust is everything, and I feel the more they are trying to force people into that flawed airplane, the less likely it seems that people will trust them ever again.
> It’s how human brain operates. We’re very easily overwhelmed with multiple options.

Then just present those options intelligently. Without overwhelming the user. I'm not convinced the model I'm proposing is that complex. Many content creators supplement their income with this exact model, but YouTube doesn't get a cut.

> Source for a claim that selling ads is extremely unstable. Check alphabet or Facebook earning reports from last 10 years.

Earning reports do not reflect the revenue earned from each ad. Alphabet is a massive company that serves ads on much more than just YouTube. The mounting interest YouTube has shown in "advertiser friendly" and "kid friendly" content demonstrates how concerned they are regarding their ad revenue.

> How is operating at profit not relevant in a context of a business model? Especially when suggested business models of companies that lose money, like patreon, as a something that YouTube should be doing.

You keep bringing up how Patreon isn't doing well as though it's obviously the fault of the monetization model, rather than the extraordinary cost of deploying a diverse content hosting service that has to compete with established giants like YouTube. YouTube already has that part done. They are paying to host the content no matter how they monetize it. Why do you think deploying a new, optional monetization option will result in a net loss?

I brought up Patreon, Twitch, and Floatplane because they demonstrate there is demand for that model. If YouTube offers it, people will certainly buy it. Just the a la cart, per-channel, tiered subscription model. That's it.

Whether or not YouTube operates in the black is not particularly relevant. I'm talking about augmenting their existing ad-based revenue model, not replacing it. For the overwhelming majority of users, it wouldn't change a thing, but YouTube could stand to bring in a lot more revenue from the minority who would be willing to purchase payed subs to support the platform and creators.
Wealth does not dictate right or wrong nor the need to defend it. Why would someone's income matter anymore then race or religion when it comes to choosing a side in a billing related conversation?
Your case is maybe kind of illustrative of what I was talking about. The number of RPi users who work at the level where they might have questions for Broadcom is vanishingly small, and that's okay. Almost all people want to write software in userspace, even if it's software that does cool embedded, IoT type stuff.

What's the best right now in terms of openness and support for someone working at the driver level?
Considering that both crashes occurred because of MCAS acting as intended on the basis of invalid data from a failed AoA sensor with no backup, I feel like that would be a surprising lie for Boeing to have told.

edit: And, having checked the Wikipedia page for the system, I find myself surprised that that is in fact a lie Boeing has told.

They may as well go ahead and try to rebrand the damned thing, I guess. On top of everything else they've done, I can't see how it would make their problems any worse...

also edit: Via Wikipedia, 14 CFR 25.203: "No abnormal nose-up pitching may occur. The longitudinal [pitch] control force must be positive up to and throughout the stall." This is the characteristic the MAX lacks due to the engine placement. If you want to add an active system to correct for that, the AoA sensor is what you use to drive it, since that's what tells you the difference between the direction of airflow and the angle of the wing. That's how you know you're approaching a stall, and need to add a negative pitching moment. But if that sensor jams, which being a mechanical device it can do, and you don't have input from another sensor so you can see the disagreement, you risk spurious activation of the system when it isn't needed, potentially forcing the aircraft out of level flight.

I get that it's in Boeing's interest to claim MCAS isn't an anti-stall system. Why would they say anything else? To do so would implicitly admit not only that they built an aircraft that would fail dangerously in a common situation, but also that the FAA let them get away with selling it and selling it as type-identical with prior versions lacking the fail-dangerous characteristic. Neither admission would serve their interests.

But, equally, why should we take them at their word on this, or indeed anything? It's pretty clear that their corporate interests have ceased to align with ours as potential airline passengers. It's generous unto foolishness, in light of that, to give them the benefit of any doubt whatsoever.

Obviously there is partiality in favour of their own castes among Brahmins, Banias etc.. then there is favouring Indians over other people. Mostly among management types - that's how they are taught to think. The same mindset that thinks management is superior to doing work yourselves is likely to favour people on such basis instead of qualification.

If this mass is exceeded the count of the Indian programmers starts increasing in a geometrical progression until every position in the company is occupied by Indians.
Indian programmers are coming!

> It is not clear how the Indian programmers breed but judging by the speed at which they breed there is high probability that they breed by division like an unicellular organisms.

I agree there is lot of such bias. But what I don't like is stereotyping all Brahmins like that. Maybe that's a counter bias from your standpoint; nothing is black and white.

> This is why we can have an election outcome that no one in the media predicted.

I presume you're referring to the 2016 presidential election in the US, and if so that's patently false. FiveThirtyEight estimated a ~28% probability[0] that Trump would win, and other major media outlets had similar outlooks prior to the election. Many willfully interpreted "28% chance" as "with any luck it won't happen," but you can't say that the media didn't think it was possible.

Generally speaking, more people = more power. But you need people who integrate well and won’t cause trouble, and will be net contributors to the welfare system. Hong Kong people are likely a very safe bet.
There's plenty of smaller problems that are not VC backable. VCs need you to be a billion dollar company.

A lot of smaller markets exist. For example, I did a keto recipe app for Malay food. Malay food is different to the usual keto recipes; with rice based food, you can't simply replace everything with cauliflower. The market was about 200k people, too small for VCs but it was in high demand for the target market. People just kept asking to buy more. We only pulled out of the market because it was (literally) toxic and cultlike.

But similar problems exist. Primal diet for Japanese food maybe. Job boards for part timers and teenagers. A better language learning app, maybe for something very specific like Latin.

Take an existing market and hyperfocus it.
