The warrant was sealed. I think that means there's a fairly high chance they were told to keep quiet (legally). Not 100% sure but it seems likely.

Maybe things have changed but IIRC the past Google has fought to be able to disclose publicly the extent of some requests made by the government.

None of the features you listed require an SPA. Other than page transitions you can have any UI sophistication on an MPA.

Which is why there are caching databases like Redis to solve this.

> What geek doesn’t like a good conspiracy theory?

Well, a good geek doesn't want this type of "slop" content, because we label it "click bait". It's click bait because you only indicate social connections exist between entities of question and use excessive hype to build to the idea. It only raises more questions and does nothing to answer anything concrete about the "situation".

> If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

That's from the posting guidelines on HN. We like answers here, not more questions.
I am not trying to mislead anyone, this is my reasoning for using the language that I did. A subsidy is a sum of money given by the government to a corporation, so it is analogous to government spending on social welfare programs. A tax cut reduces the government's income, which on a balance sheet, has the same effect as government spending. Sure, a tax cutting policy is not the same as a spending policy, but their net effect on cash flow are both negative.
The thing is not all RCEs are the same. Apple paid the right amount here.
it absolutely is.

This company is trying to make a distinction between Online Data (real time streaming with low latency), no joins, key/store and a more traditional batch processing, OLAP type configurations.

but modern data warehouses can support both.

I think this is an effort to segment the data warehousing market and provide new names for things that already exist and providing a vocabulary to users who may not be familiar with a company's existing datawarehouse solutions

WB has large expanses of area. It's already being renovated, look at the changes in my home town from 1979 to 2020 - it's gone from a quaint small town to a tourist destination and upscale DC suburb with the Clintons owning a home there ('One of America's Coolest Small Towns'-Budget America).

If this experiment works it might enable much more of WV to be considered a suburb of DC. That could be good or bad, but most likely both in different areas. It would definitely be profitable.

> Also I've lost faith in the "we're not doing enough testing" argument since we went and tried to get tested and they turned us away.

That does not imply that there is enough testing. That just implies that your doctor or health care system is unwilling to test someone in your circumstances. "Not doing enough testing" is not referring to just test kids not being available, it is also referring to health system policies and willingness/unwilingness to test people.

I still love and very much support what Elon is doing with SpaceX, but Tesla seems to be this weird company with one foot in amazing and another foot in disaster. It's like the worst best car company at the same time.

I have heard many, many Tesla owners complain about build quality, but others say it's fine. It appears to be hit or miss, which is typical for a poorly optimized manufacturing process. Some cars come off the line in good shape and others have ridiculous problems or bad panel alignment, etc. Tesla's support is also apparently a fucking disaster, which is a common pattern with Silicon Valley companies... even large and cash-flush ones like Apple and Google. SV does not do support or customer service after the purchase.

Elon's behavior on Twitter is nuts and makes me concerned about him. His COVID nonsense is the worst so far. Hopefully he holds it together long enough for Starship to be fully operational before he completely loses his mind.

> OpenGL looks like it has fallen victim to design-by-committee

It totally was when OpenGL was controlled by the ARB. ARB stands for "Architecture Review Board", even the name screamed "designed by committee". In the end, you couldn't do much without proprietary extensions, except using Direct3D...

After transfer the Khronos Group, it went better. Still a committee, but at least, the spec is not completely out of touch with modern hardware.

I don't know about Metal but Vulkan is not a replacement for OpenGL. It is a low level API, made so that engines like Unreal or Unity can have a lot of control and keep overhead to a minimum. However, it is absolutely terrible for small projects. It takes several pages of code to draw your first triangle.

According to the article, it looks like Metal is somewhere between OpenGL and Vulkan: lower level than OpenGL and easier to use than Vulkan. It doesn't look like Apple is doing crazy stuff with its hardware, but because they don't need to be portable, they can provide a simpler API compared to Vulkan which need to support all kinds of hardware and platforms.

I am not against Metal, however, I hate Apple for deprecating OpenGL. You used to have 3 options

1- Use an engine, and let it deal with all the rendering API stuff.

2- If you have a smallish project and want to do your own engine, use OpenGL.

3- If you are an engine developer, you make it so that it can support the best API for the system you are targeting, it can be Vulkan, Metal, DirectX 12,... and keep OpenGL for compatibility.

Now, option 1 is not portable anymore, and for option 3, you don't have a quasi-universal fallback anymore. MoltenGL/MoltenVK may be an option, but that's not ideal.
a domain you own is smart, but what will you do about storage ?

D'Angelo goes further and interviews law professors on this issue, and they all not only seem perplexed at first, but agree with him later, and the caveat, is that US Law as it is taught from an orthodox angle, is only really taught after the 1970's or so, and don't really cover how legislation used to be done before it, so law students would naturally assume that "things always were the same way" when it came to how transparency was handled!

Here are some of the talks he has had with Law professors

By now I am convinced that this is the missing piece, that accounts for not only the split between worker-productivity and wages, but everything else since the 1970's, this transparency revolution, with the Toxic Transparency Paradox aftermath is what set the course to where we are today with legislative gridlock, polarization, increases in wealth inequality, oligarchic corporatism etc

Lanx Credit Solution
I am totally amazed at how LANX CREDIT SOLUTION were able to complete my job in 10 days. I read reviews about them online. people were saying good things about them and how they helped them fixed their credit score and also cleaned up their report. I contacted them via their email, LANXCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COMand later called them with (310) 879 2541 to know how the process works and what’s obtainable because I was ready to purchase a home but my credit was bad and my score 543. I had some charge offs, lots of student loans and late payments and needed a quick repair. Ten days after we got started, my score increased to 798 and the charge offs, loans, late payment removed. There is so much to be thankful for.
That's not a flattering impression of the state you have.

Anyway, WV is between NYC and DC, and there was a good site available for them to build their prototype.
I have used that langs and much more. Rust was the hardest lang I have learned by a long shot. The first 2 months was kind of miserable (more because I try to build a interpreter that hit some of the hardest stuff on rust, and not knowing how deal with them).

In retrospective, I make the life harder:

* Thinking like in the other langs I have learned (with exception of my first 2) is enough to just read fast some tutorial and start coding... I relent and pick a book to learn it right.

* Start worrying so much about performance, when never before I bothered much (what! this can ALLOCATE!). Now I clone like madman!

* Try to fit the OO mentality to Rust. Even in F# I don't fully commit to POCO objects and functions as I do in Rust now. Also, the lacks of polymorphism is what hurt me sometimes (ie: is harder in rust)

But now? Rust feel ABSURDLY productive. The thing I notice is how much I refactor stuff now, (even more than in F# that also was a up in this regard).

The "punishment" parts is only in my toy interpreter and very small now. For my main project ( a ERP/ecommerce app rewrite from F#) Is great!.

Git submodules have a comically bad user interface imho but they work really well so I use them despite this. As with git in general the core functionality is solid. There is also something to be said for making as much of core functionality without resorting to another piece of infrastructure. People can use whatever front end they prefer on their machine but in a pinch the core git package is all you need.

I think a big part of the confusion here is how do you clarify the meaning of R0 versus Rt in a context where people don't know the difference, and are using R0 in a context where there is either a time component or obvious public health interventions.

R0 may be a weak theoretical construct, but saying that it's also contextual and not inherent to the virus doesn't do much to clear things up.

We have different definitions for “feeling instant”. Most clicks on HN take well over 2s for me on a 4g connection, and often about half a second even on fast broadband. Sure that feels snappy compared to most websites, but it is still a completely different experience to using an app, or indeed a website that has been designed to eliminate perceptible delays as opposed to making them shorter. These are separate (and sometimes even conflicting) design goals.
Totally agree. We could even give it a name, like Usenet or sth?

Nice write-up!

I would challenge the assumption that "the Data Warehouse is an input to the Feature Store" though. I'm more inclined towards having a first stage of data cleanup/modeling that could be reused (as input) for both DWH and FS instead.
I guess to clarify, it has been my impression that the healthcare industry are the people telling us we are not doing enough testing.

We attempted to get tested and they said no, not worth the bother.

That seems contradictory to me.
Sometimes, you don't even need a reason. I have had a constant high pitched tinnitus since my late 20s and it just started without any reasons I can think of for I think I have never actually abused my ears much...

What I've noticed is that the level at which I perceive it is completely linked with my anxiety level. I always ear it but when I'm tired or anxious, it's loud while when I'm really relaxed, it can become very faint.

Unfortunately, I must be a pretty anxious person as it's loud most of the time.

I somehow got the idea that people who are used to write top-to-bottom might see it as flipping upside down.

I’m unsure what your point is? I see dozens of different issues listed in the post, on different endpoints, all of which presumably took time to find. When they said they had a team of multiple people work for months on this, I am unsure why you think they haven’t spent their time as efficiently as “a pentesting team”. Actually, I’ll be stronger: looking through the list of things they discovered, it seems like they were absolutely churning out vulnerabilities for the entire period. A real team would have certainly cost much more than what they’ve currently been paid.

Now we're really in unfounded conspiracy territory :)

I don't have an opinion on the rich case but there's as much evidence that he was assassinated as there is that the DNC leak was perpetrated by professional hackers. Or to use your tone: the idea that a trained hacker would use a Russian IP address is pretty absurd. I guess you've been further refuted and fundamentally contradicted, sorry bud.

I gave you an upvote.

I think it’s dangerous to make comments just for karma. Then you will be less likely to take risks.

Karma is nice to have for me. If I post something, and see my karma go up by 10 points, I think “oh that’s nice”, but I don’t then go to “how do I get 20 the next time”? Likewise if it goes down 10 points, I think “wow some people didn’t like my comment, oh well”. In the end my karma is generally trending up, which I take to mean I’m generally adding more than I’m detracting. If it was generally trending down, I might consider if I’m coming across wrong / being misunderstood , or maybe something is wrong with the people here!

Also if you want more karma, just repost old posts that got a lot of votes, like the OP did :D. Likely to at least some votes esp if still relevant.

How to vastly improve your team's Pull Requests, by measuring them
,,Google’s Supreme Court faceoff with Oracle was a disaster for Google''

I don't see how losing even a few billion dollars could be a disaster for Google at this point. They control most of the smart phones in the world, and that's worth much more than that amount of money (regardless of whether using Java was the right choice or not).
There are two immediate reasons. The first is so that you can manage your secrets and env vars in the same way in development as you do in production. Engineers focus a lot on doing this for code, but this hasn't hit the env var space yet. The second is so that all your secrets live in one place. Doppler is your source of truth for secrets in the same way that GitHub is your source of truth for your code. Your developers pull from GitHub, Azure pulls from GitHub during a deployment, etc. This centralization allows for really smooth access controls and auditing.

Uh... West Virginia is nowhere near the NYC-DC axis.

FWIW, I was sketching out the situation in the US healthcare market generally, and not specifically referring to the insulin situation.

To expand slightly (all IM opinion/observation):

a) Often, there isn't a 'market', as there might not be multiple competitive options for each disease.

b) Even in situations where there are (say) two roughy similar treatments for a disease, market forces don't always apply - manufacturers differentiate via other routes and try to avoid price erosion.

c) It's uncertain how often price directly influences prescribing decisions (in the US, or indeed in many countries).

I'm also familiar (but never used) Envkey, which I think might also be from the YC alumni? but I'm not sure...

Shameless plug: I created an open-source tool called envwarden[0], which is really just a simple wrapper around the Bitwarden[1] CLI (also open-source). envwarden helps you manage your server secrets and other variables inside your Bitwarden password manager.

Definitely not as polished as neither Doppler nor Envkey, but just another (open) alternative I guess :)
