Those laws and regulations are justifiable because the hazard of an unsafe product is worth the cost of the regulation to prevent, and their scope generally doesn’t exceed the bare minimum needed to ensure safety. There is no law that says, for instance, that the Slingbox has to be reliable, has to produce acceptable image quality, or has to be priced competitively. As a society we leave it up to the individual to make those judgements.

I am simply suggesting that the question of “How long will the manufacturer maintain the service this device depends on?” should fall in the category of those sorts of questions, and not the “Will this device kill me if I plug it into the wall?” category that regulation should be reserved for.

One of the unfortunate consequences of Go "making concurrency easy" is that many more concurrent programs are now being written by amateurs, with predictable results. This feels like a Hickey-an "simple vs. easy" dichotomy -- what would a language look like that tried to make concurrency simple, rather than easy?
Maybe it forces a different internal layout?
Thankfully, that is not the case.

In fact, all patent applications (in the US at least) are published into the public domain. Feel free to download all of Apple's patent documents from uspto.gov, print them on T-shirts, and sell them on the street corner. *

You just can't build the devices described within the patent and sell them.

Looking for a startup project to join, preferable early stage ('no salary' is fine). I am an experienced software engineer with 10+ years of full-stack development and people management experience. For the last 4 years I've been working for a large publishing house here in Australia leading a cross-functional team of 6. Ideally, I am looking for a tech co-founder position but would also consider a role of engineer in a product company.

Please, feel free to reach out to me over e-mail or give me a call (better e-mail, though).
The latter, definitely.

As far as I am concerned the Neapolitan pizza is the only real pizza. Compare it to the archetypical Dominoes Margherita pizza. American variants of "pizza" definitely deliver melted cheese, tomato sauce, and heated bread in large quantities but the layers of flavor that you find in a faithful reproduction of Neapolitan pizza to the Italian standard are completely missing. One of the first things Americans will notice in an appropriate Neapolitan pizza is that the cheese does not flood the pizza. Its quantity is reduced to appropriately contrast and compliment the thin layer of tomato sauce. And keep those wet veggies off my pizza.
Short-answer: we don't and can't, since you'd need to use the vaccine for a long time.

Better answer: the vaccines are new but the individual systems used to develop them are not, and we have historical trials of a lot of the same techniques which show no long term risks. The biggest unknown has always been the risk of triggering a short-term, unexpected primary immune response that causes harm to the recipient. In the vaccines being developed, that has generally not been found to be the case, and since they're based on the virus currently infecting people we would not expect a response worse then that (which is to say: the components of vaccine use are all well studied, these are understood and safe materials).

The other issue is when we talk about "rushing" vaccine research, this does not involve shirking safety research - i.e. consider the influenza vaccine which year over year is basically a new vaccine we develop quite quickly. What it does mean is that you overlap the stages of vaccine development: normally if you have a P3-trial vaccine, you'd wait till that trial was successful before building the factory to make it. Instead, companies are being paid (or paying themselves) to build facilities and scale up production as soon as they get to the P3 trial stage - financially it's a huge risk, since what they have might not work, or might have an unacceptable risk profile in those trials - which means all the investment is a dead-loss.

This is where government steps in (and has stepped in in places): by guaranteeing the investment on getting those facilities out, it means if your vaccine works then you're ready to go and it's in production right away - as opposed to being another year to 2 years down the line while you work on manufacturing.

Agreed. I would not consider applying for a role like this where there is no clear commitment to salary or day rate, especially where there is a lengthy 3-step application process involved.
I think it might be something to do with the "lab grown" aspect. Where people perhaps don't necessarily understand how plant based foods are made and associate it with harsh chemicals and "fake" products to mimic another.

The idea that the plant based alternative is not natural when compared to meat that is grown in animals that we have seen for many lifetimes.

Similar to "I let my body build natural immunity, rather than take a chemically laced vaccine"
I think design thinking is one of the ideas that has won. My observations (n=small) are that people no longer blame themselves for not understanding complicated user experiences - they correctly blame the technology (and technologists) involved. They also recognize that there's no benefit to learning complex information architectures for apps that can and do change with every update, so they tend to "forage" and click on the most promising thing.
Indeed, that's what I currently have, but for this database I'm looking at alternatives (ex: clickhouse) that could get everything and "send it onward" on a schedule.

It's just a glorified bulk insert with extra moving parts, but if it works around the issue, why not?

H1b is a temporary visa.

USA does not have high skilled immigrant friendly policies at all. Out of roughly 500k green cards, only 15k are for high skilled immigration. Most (450k) are for family immigration, 50k for diversity visas (random lotteries for citizens of non-big countries), and 8k investor visas (visas for sale basically).
That will work in Europe, it will never go over in the USA people are very averse to being tracked or giving up privacy or health information.

As I said repeat as needed, some people move billions using such methods over time. And yea, doing this to money isn’t as useful day to day again as I pointed out, but that’s not what it’s for. We are talking insurance not tax evasion.

It’s a mistake to think of Money as a fungible assets without any distinguishing characteristics. Set aside 10% in ultra safe investments and your protected from market crashes but not the government freezing your assets, bankruptcy, or your ex wife taking you to the cleaners. Schmidt would be a fool not to set aside ~50 million in some hidden accounts specifically because it’s a small enough amount as to be meaningless today, but plenty of money to hide out comfortably in a non extradition country.

I disagree there are fundamental differences. The reason Apple is blocking game streaming apps is because games could contain content that violates the standards of the app store.

An easy violation is nudity, there is an app for Playboy, but there is zero nudity in it. However, I can get the full, uncensored Playboy magazine in the Nook app. I can watch movies with nudity in Netflix or Amazon Video. I can even buy or rent movies FROM APPLE with nudity in the iTunes store, like Eyes Wide Shut, Walk Hard, Boogie Nights (which is about porn!), and Barbarella, all right from my iPad or iPhone.

So why can I see nudity if I buy it directly from Apple in a movie, but not an app?

I can download the Twitch app and watch streams of video games, but I can't download an app to let me PLAY the very same games?

There is no difference, it is simply Apple capriciousness.

Fat, certainly, but being fat doesn't imply you can't swing a sword on a horse. You can have a lot of core strength and good arms, but if you eat a lot of puddings, the muscle will be covered in enough mass that you'll just look fat. (Especially in a portrait you're just sitting for, rather than flexing for.)

As for incompetent knights, I'm genuinely confused: how did they survive in the role for any length of time? (Especially when the only talent pool they would have to recruit underlings from are the very same people they're oppressing. I always figured competence at protecting the outlying villages—where everyone's families live—during invasion, was kinda the reason anyone bothered to work for them at all, rather than towns responding to recruitment attempts exactly the same as invasion attempts, with stoning, boiling oil from the rooftops, etc.)

So far my smartphone history has been:

HTC Desire (approx. Nexus1) -> Galaxy Nexus -> Nexus 4 -> Nexus 5 -> Nexus 5X -> Pixel 1 -> Pixel 2 -> Pixel 3 -> ?

My favourites where the N4 and P2. The P2 fixed the shitty cameras, and now it looks like finally the P5 will fix the shitty battery life. Can anyone with a P5 comment on how it compares. I'm glad they finally realized the 4 was a mistake. And from the reviews/specs/features the 5 seems perfect - but I'm worried I'm missing something. I don't want to keep changing phones, it just happens because there is always one deal breaker built in.
A peasant was also very likely to be malnourished, while someone in a position to have been practicing for battle from a young age was likely to have been very well nourished in comparison, especially during critical childhood years. An average military aristocrat probably had 10+ cm of height and 10+ kg of weight advantage on an average peasant.

I liked this, Paul Smith had some good stories. This episode and the following one about Github CLI got me thinking a lot how we choose architecture and languages and how it’s an iterative process.

But it matters---the same point could be made about the Battle of Poitiers, in which the fancy French noble knights were crushed, mostly by longbowmen. It's silly to ask the question of whether peasants could kill knights without considering the actual ways peasants killed knights...

This is just a nonsense semantic game. Everything gets synchronized or serialized at some point, even if it is hardware that does it.
It just depends on asymmetry.

If you started buying antique boats and fixing them up, you'd definitely lose money. But a lifelong shipbuilder might have a huge ROI.

So if you're trying to find the most sure-fire, low-effort income, I'd suggest something within the career you've already made for yourself.

For example, I know a guy who does consulting just building web APIs. That's it. It's not the most technical niche, but it's enough that he gets $150/hr on Upwork and actually saves people money in the longrun by being good at his work.

Tbh, I thought I'd like oral exams - but for whatever reason, I always bombed them. Even exams where I thought I did good, I'd completely bomb.

Because oral exams are quite time limited, you really only have one shot at each sub-question. And how good you are, is 100% subjective to the people judging you - and since this is in person, lots of things can influence their judgement. Hell, they may even have some latent bias.

And as others have mentioned, it brings a bunch of stress on the candidate.

I guess it's a very personal preference. I always did better on home exams, the stress-level was pretty much non-existent, compared to the others.
This is incredibly vague. There is no "set of rules" that just magically works without thought.

There is just SOOOO much that can go wrong. But one general rule crystallizes itself pretty quickly:

DO NOT EVER MUTATE STATE!

I.e. when you write concurrent code that builds on state mutation, you are opening Pandorra's box. If you want concurrency that people can understand and maintain, write immutable, functionally pure code (same data in, same result out, no exceptions). That is relatively easy to police and enforce, while still flexible enough to solve most use cases. It may however, not be the most performant.

Most people can't do this or have a very hard time learning much easier things.

> Recently I read the statistics on the frequency of journalists being killed. I was appalled.

Where? What are the stats?

> I suppose I never thought deeply enough to conclude the torture and murder of Jamal Khashoggi is a manifestation of a systematic problem.

It's not. And common sense says he was killed because he was a spy/political actor, not a "journalist". What "truth" was he killed for, if he was killed. Why was he targeted and not 1000000 other journalists around the world. If it was systematic, there would be a lot less journalists. If it was systematic how come there hasn't been another khashoggi incident? There would be journalists being killed in every consulate around the world. No?

> If nation states (even democratic in some instances) are willing to kill those who share the truth, is this something we should accept?

Of course not. But then again, they shouldn't be killed for lying either.

> I wonder to what extent we are entitled to truth, and why there is a war against it.

Ask the CNN, WaPo, NYTimes, Foxnews, etc why they are engaging in a war against "truth". There is a war against "truth" because political/financial interests are at stake.

An introductory class in philosophy would do wonders for you. "Truth" you will find is a very complex topic. But beyond the philosophical issues with "truth", your problem is that your started with a false premise : "Journalists give us truth". They do not. Truth doesn't come from journalists. Truth is independent of journalists.

You sneakily confused "right to free speech" with "right to truth via journalists". That's journalist type of behavior. You see this all of HN and social media because of the amount of journalists wasting time on social media instead of doing actual work.

I believe in right to free speech. I believe journalists have the right to lie outright, spin facts, tell truth, etc without physical harm. Just like any american has the same constitutional rights. Unfortunately, it's the journalists who are waging a war to censor americans so it's hard to sympathize with these people. But certainly nobody should be killed for expressing their opinions.
Everything gets synchronized at some point. There is no sense splitting hairs on labels just because you don't have to do the synchronization yourself. Those independent tasks are going to have to have their output go somewhere.

Even the Apple I was relatively expensive relative to both competitors and its own BoM.

The advantage has always been that the company attempts to make computing appliances for users who want to do something besides “compute.”

Sure people infatuated with computing as a thing in itself have also always been welcome, but (unlike its contemporaries) those weren’t the only people welcome.
yet, that's an entirely fair stance. The little guys, not having created the mechanism for value capture that the company has, are likely contributing to the ecosystem (or at least are active components of the ecosystem). the corporation, on the other hand, has ensured that they capture and process value such that they enjoy exclusive benefit from their output.

it's not unreasonable for an individual to decide that contributions to other open source developers are good, and contributions to a black hole are bad.
