> If you can determine the sex of a hatching egg you can entirely dispense with the culling of live male chicks

Here is the video, timestamped (24m30s) to the "culling" of male chicks. Trigger Warnings: NSFL, Gore.

https://youtu.be/LQRAfJyEsko?t=1470

On a purely personal note, this documentary made me re-evaluate my diet. I'm still not strong enough to be off meat even though that is what I want, but I have successfully abstained from chicken, pig and cow for the past 2 years.
My point with Erlang though is that there are several mature and sensible tech choices that Big Enterprise (TM) can make it difficult to use.

a) Don't deploy prod to us-east-1

b) Don't stick to a single region/ AZ. Cross-region/AZ failures are quite rare

c) If AWS goes down a huge portion of the internet is fucked. Customer expectations are totally different. When 90% of the internet isn't loading images no one's coming to you to complain.

d) The fire is elsewhere. Someone else is on it. At worst we spend some time trying to work around it, at best we work on other things while we wait.
I believe the reason why movies started getting made in Los Angeles was because of the diversity of terrain within a reasonably short distance.
Hmm. It looks more like it exploded with no ignition. But they think they are close!

A decade and 3,000 failures and they are probably spinning some PR so they don’t get defunded
no, it specifically didn't. If it had ignited, it would be enourmous news because the age of fusion and clean energy has begun. It didn't ignite, it's "close to self-heating", which is progress, but not ignition, and they want funds to double their laser power to actually make it happen.

Land ownership is a tangential subject, but this does portray some accurate details about modern agriculture in the US.

Many children leave the family farm; they can earn more with less work, and operating a profitable farm operation is very difficult. Families don't like selling their farmland, so they rent it out to another farmer. There are funds that buy farmland to profit from rental or future resale, but again they are not the operators.

Perhaps it'd be helpful if you provided a few examples of these corporations? Not incorporated family farms, but these for-hire corporations operating at large acreage scales.
>I can’t think of a single program off the top of my head that doesn’t use the Internet to some extent while running.

GPT-3 is just a natural language generator trained on a LOT of data that finds patterns in text already written to generate a best guess as to what will come next in the word series. Nowhere does any of that pattern matching being trained on a large corpus of Internet data have anything to do with comprehension, understanding, wisdom, or intellect of any kind. To expect anything but a probabilistic string of word responses is to seek meaning from noise.

Wow! (No pun intended) That is a serious lack of editorial review for a physics news source. It's basically a retraction of a factual article with speculation.

The article means "locating" in the sense of "where should it be placed", not "finding"—perhaps you knew that and were just riffing off the other meaning, since I had the same misunderstanding based off of the title.

You'll find google a useful tool for locating software engineering programs, but okay, here are a couple:

https://engineering.csuohio.edu/eecs/master-science-software...
https://mse.isri.cmu.edu/

You'll find Software Engineering degree programs are often connected to schools of EE, CS, or more generic Engineering if you dig into this more. And of course things sometimes work in a different way - I think maybe MIT folds EE, CS and SE all together into the same department, possibly even the same degree.

I believe ABET recently deprecated their accreditation of undergraduate programs, and I don't have any idea what the implications of that are for SE licensure, but there's a possibly out-of-date list of ABET-accredited SE undergrad programs here:

Wikipedia states:

> This hypothesis was dismissed by astronomers, including members of the original Big Ear research team, as the cited comets were not in the beam at the correct time. Furthermore, comets do not emit strongly at the frequencies involved, and there is no explanation for why a comet would be observed in one beam but not in the other

So, not actually conclusively shown at all.
> The market can't act against what it can't see. Privacy loss is often irreversible.

I would add that the market can't act to prevent risks that are outside the market and not taken into account by the market.

The big risks from widespread privacy loss are the exploitation of private data by criminals, foreign unconventional warfare by terrorists or hostile states, and the rise of a totalitarian government here in the USA.

Criminal action can to some extent be priced into a market, but the other two really can't be.
> You're not wrong, but on the other hand has "the market" shown any serious signal that it cares about privacy? From what I can see people seem more than glad to trade privacy and personal information for free services and cheaper hardware. Take Samsung putting ads on their "smart" TV's UI and screenshotting what people are watching for profiling, that's been known for a while now. The market seems fine with it.

I'd guess that most of that's due to information asymmetry. Privacy losses aren't advertised(and often hidden) and are more difficult to understand, but price is and is understood by everyone.

Take that Samsung example: it's not like they had a bullet point on the feature list saying "Our Smart TVs will let us spy one what you're watching, so we can monetize that information."

There have been studies to indicate we can predict which decisions people will make before they themselves are consciously aware they have made a decision. I'm not convinced "we can inspect what's going on" is sufficient criteria for ruling out intelligence.

>>I find the ideas of fixing healthcare, reinvesting in our economy and infrastructure, and shoring up our social programs highly convincing. And I'm pretty sure the polls show those ideas resonate across the political spectrum. And I only hear those ideas coming from one party.

I suspect that is because you view the "solutions" from one party as the sole legitimate "solutions" to those problems.

I.e to you the solution to the problem of expensive and inaccessible healthcare is likely to be Government Single Payer plan, and any political party or person that has a different, market solution to that problem has been deemed by you to "not really wanting to fix the problem" or some other worse kind of evil
But they're not wrong at all and their time and money was well invested.

The ecosystem does just work and the user experience is great compared to the alternatives. It's also possible to use only specific products and switch off various cloud or telemetry options. There's still a long way to go to reach a private OS, but Apple has by far the best privacy stance when compared to Google or Microsoft and there is nobody who offers such an OS right now. The best one can hope for is build their own Linux-based distro or use BSD and then one has to be prepared to invest a significant amount of time.

Apple didn't get challenged through the GDPR yet because everyone's busy with Google and Facebook still. But, if you or anyone else would like to lodge a complaint, maybe this will be decided for the customers (I think it's borderline) and we'll get an option to switch it off.

There's a bit of a stark difference between killing a few generals or public figureheads looking to overthrow one as a dictator, and killing many hundreds of thousands of civilians that don't like you.

It's just extra gross that the US helped it happen.
Don’t forget to account for selection bias: some people had apps delay launching and they started telling everyone about it as if it was everyone which affected all apps and users. Most of us had no idea there was a problem and thus didn’t feel obligated to start talking about it on social media.
Most of the time you only need a small subset which is manageable. I once tried to increase my deductions as a normal citizen but this went nowhere quickly as you need to create giant loopholes to get it done as a person. Businesses on the other hand are the ones using the complex stuff and they can hire an expert (in this case expensive doctors in the case of the body metaphor of the other poster) at quite some cost.
For local simple use cases (a couplefew services / dbs), is there something stopping a docker-compose-like tool, maybe Podman + Kubernetes YAML, from being equally easy to use as docker-compose?

For the flaws of Docker, local development is just easy - which is really nice. It concerns me to hear that docker-compose might be dead.

I feel like one would be much better off and more efficient by just learning regular expressions.
Well, this is (one of my) areas so here goes. DSLs are a concept, not an implementation. As implemented they can vary from chained procedure calls to actual sub languages with lexers and parsers (and I tend to consider the latter to be 'proper' DSLs, but that's just my view).

To have a 'proper' DSL I reckon you need two things, and understanding that a thing can and should be broken out into its own sublanguage, and the ability to do so. The first takes a certain kind of nouse, or common sense. The latter requires knowing how to construct a parser properly and some knowledge of language design.

Knowing how to write a parser is not particularly complex but as the industry is driven by requirements more of knowing 'big data' frameworks rather than stuff that is often more useful, well, that's what you get, and that includes people who try to parse XML with regular expressions (check out this classic answer <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open...> Edit: if you haven't seen this check it out cos it's brilliant).

I think this reflects the fundamental problem in software development of the market's not knowing what's actually needed to solve real business problems.

I feel like legislation is a field that would benefit a great deal from the progress that software engineering has made in a number of fields.

It's already evolved somewhat into a DSL. With some nudging and technical leadership, I suspect that we could move it over entirely into a format that can be readily parsed, tested, and version control. The tax code is especially well-suited to this, because it's a lot of rules and math formulas.

In fact, I bet most tax software probably does something very similar to this.
It’s not just a legal matter. I’m amazed that as a victim of sexual assault I’m repeatedly being lectured about the burden of proof of sexual assault. I suppose I can just assume y’all don’t believe me either unless I go to court to confront my assaulters and win?
> That's a weird complaint on a site about eternal disruption, eternal improvement of things that are basically fine already.

I mean the subject matter is itself a disruption and improvement, which is being rejected. It is not the status quo. So I don't see that as analogous.

> But that doesn't keep me from recognizing the ethical issues with killing and controlling other beings to survive.

I also try to be cognizant of related issues. But I see developments like these as a win, whereas for for a certain demographic, it's irrelevant. They aren't the ones asking for this in the first place, egg consumers are. Granted vegans are a good base for criticism which probably contributed.
His point is not about aws inability to have 0 downtime. His point is some people apparently pay based on a guarantee for uptime that is not delivered. He is criticizing a company not providing the service it sells and our inability to hold them accountable
> The other thing I'd like to see is the app open immediately, w/ the check happening asynchronously in the background. (This seems like super-basic good engineering to me.) No idea if they're planning to fix that or not.

How would this work? The point of the check is to block malware from running, and opening without the check would, by definition, negate the entire system. If malware authors get wise to the async scheme, they can write programs that deliver their payload in the opening milliseconds of an app’s execution, while the network call is running (even the fastest pings would leave 1 or 2 ms worth of window).
EventBridge has been struggling for about the past 14 hours as well, which means Cloudwatch Events is not too happy; and, I have the impression CWE underpins a surprising diversity of other things at AWS.
> While true in some aspects, it's not true in others.

Open standards might have been a better term. The example in this project would be the use of "Pencil Project" for UX design rather than Figma / Sketch / Adobe XD (which to some extent may be for licencing and cost reasons too).

> It’s easily verifiable that Democratic states have better laws for wage earners, and have pushed for policies that benefit wage earners.

The most solidly blue state, California, just enshrined a law to screw over gig workers and has among the worst housing crises in the country for average (and below) wage earners. Both parties are not equally bad, but the idea that the Democrats support working people is pretty laughable at this point. Yes, they’re not as awful as Republicans on these issues, but that’s a pretty low bar and still so far below the wage and labor protections in places like Europe as to be laughable.

Can anyone explain why status pages are so difficult. Theres even statups like status.io dedicated to this one thing.

It really does seem that anytime there is an outage more often than not the status page is showing all green traffic lights. Making it redundant as a tool to corroborate whats happening.

How did AWS status page compare with status.io/aws?
That's really stretching the concept of a DSL, but at an extreme it can be seen that way. What you're really describing is hierarchical structure.

For the non-tablet Kindle, I'm not sure if the differentiation between tracking and ads makes a lot of sense. You (well, I at least) already use Amazon to buy the books that are on my Kindle.

> might to a symptom of London centric-ness where there is far more ethnic diversity and therefore racism

More flareups, perhaps, especially riots against the Metropolitan police, but more diversity tends to make people less racist as they actually meet people of other ethnicities rather than just repeat what they've heard about people they've never met or seen.

Was the Bristol statue teardown an import? The tactic of just dumping it in the sea was, and the "triggering event" of solidarity protests was, but the underlying question of why Bristol has a statue of a man who committed crimes against humanity had been rumbling on for years and the council had voted down even a recontextualisation plaque.

Scotland has some similar "historical benefits of slavery" questions to look at; Edinburgh's own pro-slavery politician statue (Henry Dundas) is somewhat protected by being at the top of a 150-foot column.

That's a remarkable amount of work to steal the car. Probably they tried to steal it right then and there, thieves don't like to return to a crime scene.

For Tesla, if they really want they could pry open the frunk and remove the 12V power from the low-voltage battery, then winch the car onto a flatbed. That would disable the GPS tracking and allow access to make money parting out the car. Although not the motors, which are locked to the VCSEC and the owner's configured keys, and bypassing that is still an open problem AFAIK.

There is more to a particular crypto currency than the technology. Bitcoin has the longest history, good team management, wide distribution, a track record. Just as people judge fiat currencies by the stability of the government behind them we do the same with crypto.

This is why Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether are on top, but other coins will rise as well. This is what we're seeing today - Crypto scaling horizontally to deal with scaling issues and transaction fees.

I don't see any government making a crypto the 'default transaction mechanism' as it would work against the government itself. Being able to control your currency, and print more when need be is what allows a country to manage their long term debt and fund things like large infrastructure projects (or wars etc..)

Crypto is just like gold, just better at storing value than gold in every way - so people are moving over to it. Just as gold doesn't replace cash and credit cards - don't expect crypto to either.
