Not to mention Virgin Orbit actually doing something useful after lot less time and likely money invested.

Virgin Galactic has been working on their sub-orbital rocketplane since 2004 and they have yet to fly any paying customers. For something that should have been "just like Space Ship One but bigger" it has been taking ages and might not make much sense if they ever get it working (eq. you might as well buy a seat on a proper commercial Dragon orbital flight).
In the USA, it's called fat-shaming. In Asian countries, you may feel a little bit shamed if you're overweight. You'll even get less food around the table if you're fat. Societal pressures could be both a curse and a blessing.
Monkeys Understand Economics and Steal High-Ticket Items to Barter for Food
Oh I agree. I have to cook out of necessity, but I don't enjoy the art at all.

What makes it fun is that I make it a game of optimizing concurrency.

I just love thinking ahead and planning what operations go in what order, how, when, how few trips to the same cupboards and drawers I can make, etc.

I can make scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and some fruit or yogurt for a family of four in six minutes without leaving a mess. (The bacon used to double the time until I decided to use a second pan and pay the price of cleaning two)
Lol, I love that quote ("your new society will end up consisting of approximately three principled civil libertarians and seven zillion witches"). It's very true, and not the least bit surprising. The only reason for free-speech focused social media to be a thing is because it is a pushback against bans and restrictions from Facebook and Twitter. But look who these platforms ban: for all the (in my opinion, laughable) talk of how these platforms are "biased against conservatives", last time I checked Twitter wasn't banning anyone for saying the minimum wage reduces overall employment, or that we should return to the gold standard, or that marriage should be reserved for unions of 1 man and 1 woman. They ban people for inciting violence, for repeating provable falsehoods over and over which can lead to violence, for targeted harassment. So your "free speech social media" is primarily for people who want incite violence, or lie over and over to convince people of provable falsehoods, or to harass others.
this is a good point. I can't possibly be well-informed on every single important issue. whenever I pick an issue to dive into deeply, I find that my conclusion almost reverses with each layer of the onion that I peel back. eventually I have to stop, still wondering whether the next piece of information would change my stance again.

Seriously though, my favorite: Johhny Depps collab sea shanty albums with many famous artists: Rogues Gallery 1 and 2. They went under the radar but I really like hearing new takes, and I want Bonos "A Dying Sailor to his Shipmates" played at my wake. Frission every time I hear it.

To be clear (if the image is accurate), they weren't asking for one beefy DB instance with 96 vCPUs and 768GB RAM. They were asking for 70-100 instances with those requirements.
Come on you can’t compare what it takes to submit an update on those two. Literally 5 clicks and drop a zip on the page, so long as they don’t single you out for manual review.

Apple requires a thousand clicks, a 11GB app on your computer and the manual review every time.
Apologies for stating the obvious, but cutting and chopping are skills. Like any skills, you will suck at it at first, but time and practice will speed up your prep time.

There's a huge difference between having to consciously cut vegetables, and being able to do it via muscle memory.
Excellent. Rock on man. I never thought I'd be a Microsoft fan again, but after they invented TypeScript/VSCode, I love them so much I might move to Redmond.
Saying you and your wife find Slack superior is a bit lie preaching to the choir on these forums, no? Let me give a different anecdote.

When I open up teams, I have one account, I log in and have access to all other things in the account. Basic software behavior we're all used to.

When I open up Slack, it does or does not want me to login again based on if I've been on this server before. It may or may not want me to make a new account depending on if I've made one on this server before. I try all of my emails with all of my potential passwords to see if login works, if not new account time I guess?

Instead of Discord were you can see all of your servers, Slack separates this all out that makes the entire user experience (at least for me) completely abysmal.

Then don't even get me started with a lack of usernames and having intentionally hard-to-find ID. Again, why not do what Discord does and do Username#6789? Instead I have to search my friend 'John Doe' and hope it's the John I'm thinking of and not some random other John that I just invited to see all my business's internal discussions.

To sum up my 2 cents:

Teams is about the same as Zoom with some text-based chat functionality thrown in and some neat Outlook calendar integration.

Slack is just Discord that is way, way worse.

Comparing the two doesn't even make sense, but at least Teams does better in it's respective category.
Do I really need to know the history of science and philosophy in order to come up with Lorentz Transformation? No, I need solid understanding of physics and the mathematical models that are already available in that framework, and then build upon those.

Sure, these articles could be fun to read, but one does not really expect to have more practical knowledge after reading them. How would you use Hume’s arguments to help you learn the theory of relativity better?

And it’s not just in physics. I can make the same claim in almost any field of science that values results over cheap talk. In game theory for example, does philosophy help you come up with something as magnificent as Nash Equilibrium? No, but Kakutani’s theorem does. Learn the math and practical knowledge, the rest is a waste of time.

The Definitive Checklist Before Releasing a Website
Even a ion drive will not help you if you need substantially different inclination.

Also it will need quite substantial solar panels, that add considerable drag, which is doble problematic on these relatively low orbits.
Also here in Aus there is 'shouting' too. I don't know where the term originated from but generally if you've had some sort of stroke of good luck or unexpected fortune then it's your shout, which is basically a free round of drinks on you.

When I used to go to the pub with my cricket team the person who scored the highest that day would shout the group. Or if you'd won big on the poker machines etc then it would be your shout.
The UK is experimenting with 24 hour clinics which presumably avoids the "left over" phenomenon. If you're never shutting for the day any doses you have right now are for the next patients, if you're vaccinating patients more quickly than anticipated you can bring forward some appointments but you never have this hard cut off.

After all, under total lockdown it's not as though you're likely to be anywhere except at home waiting to get an appointment.

An interesting contrast will be New Zealand. Since they have community elimination they didn't seek emergency use authorisation, why not wait and study what happens to the millions of people from other developed countries who needed urgent vaccination? They will do mass population vaccination during 2021 but this month or next doesn't mean thousands or even handfuls of deaths, so there is no hurry.

This might reduce take up. If you live in New York you probably at least know somebody who got badly sick, maybe died - but if you live in Wellington you likely have stopped even thinking about the pandemic most days unless you work in quarantine or the tourist industry.
If we only vaccinated every one over 65 then we can basically go to normal, while the rest get vaccinated.
That would prevent something like 80% of the deaths and hospitalizations. Some people would do get it but we would have more resources to handle it.
Use the website just as a middle finger to reddit for constantly pestering me to use their app. The web still works fine thank you.
To me a scam involves paying money and then not getting anything for it. You get exactly what you pay for.

These is just competing businesses / orgs vying for your custom, where one org (the govt) is charging $0, so you should totally use them, but won't if you're foolish.

Regardless, one tiny example of all google results (goverment form services) is... the vast minority of google search results. It is certainly not "invariably" a scam.
The "schemer" books have pretty much the highest code-to-text ratio of any technical book ever written, so it seems strange to me to complain that they have too many jokes as filler.
To be honest, the times listed on recipe websites are often too optimistic.

That said, for chopping it really helps to have a sharp knife. A dull knife takes longer to do the job and it's also more likely to cause an accident.

Nice ending “reasonable exchanges only happen with reasonable people”
People have always found reasons to distrust things that they don't like.
The article doesn't really get into why it considers this structure better.

FWIW, I had a discussion a while back with a coworker who was moving away from this type of structure because it was getting untenable - every new feature required adding files into half a dozen folders and stitching them together in similar-but-not-quite-the-same way as previous ones, leading to a lot of boilerplate for the sake of consistency. In addition, it was hard to see what file was related to what. Plus, because the whole thing was locked into a set of idioms, a gradual architectural migration looked extremely daunting.

In my experience, there are two major philosophies when it comes to web project structure:

- organize by type (the approach suggested in the article) - everything of the same type goes in a top level folder named after the type of things that it contains (`components`, `reducers`, etc)

- organize by proximity - things are grouped together based on whether they are used together (e.g. for a splash page, the components, reducers, contexts, etc for that page all live in a folder called `splash`, and so on)

I tend to prefer the latter because the former usually involves a lot more folder navigation (both in terms of finding/opening files, as well as specifying paths for import declarations). It's also easier to see what files are generally related, and if one wants to gradually migrate away from some idioms (e.g. phase out redux in favor of graphql or migrate to react hooks, etc), it's easier to keep the impact of changes localized.

The "organize by type" approach, however, is good for organizing things that are consumed from multiple places: think theme components (buttons, etc), reusable utilities, data modeling logic, etc.

Quant Strategies Used by a Wall Street Trader
Indeed, and Signal has been marketed from day one as a drop in SMS replacement. Initially it even used SMS as the transport for encrypted messages. it was literally called "TextSecure". This is why I have always found the attacks on it using phone numbers to be amusing.
Depends on the scope and scale of the attack. If you put a proxy server in front of the actual application server (or a series of proxy servers that were lightweight/cheap to run), technically speaking you could control it. Not an expert either but have relied on mechanisms like that in the past to help with traffic control.
The problem starts with the name, humans are not resources. Stones. metals and food are resources. It's a slave term to see people as resources. I will never contract myself to those companies and people.
Blog is badly written. There are excessive uses of pronoun without proper references to who means whom. Points backing up the idea is shallow. Author looks he wrote the blog while being angry.

Everything aside, I do agree with sentiment and would go on to say the nature of HR depend on the company. As it was alluded to later in the company. In my previous company, HR used to tell everything to the manager. Seriously everything!!
In current one so far it looks good. But, let's see
> If you feel like your company treats you this way, can I recommend a startup?

Having worked in both startups and large corporate companies, I feel they're just on the opposite side of the spectrum. In big corps there are established processes that are almost impossible to change, in startups the processes are changed daily, which can be equally annoying.

Jumping to a startup because you don't like the big corp style is a major change, the same goes for the other way around. Maybe go for a smaller, but already established company.
"winning against a grandmaster" although they played 1+0 which favours lower rated players much higher than any other timeformat. still an impressive feat to score that high.

There has been some research on directly visualizing the effects of relativity, e.g.:

IIRC higher launching aircraft altitude and velocity don't help that much (at least in what you can achieve with a non-exotic carrier aircraft).

The main benefit is huge flexibility in launch azimuth and conditions (as you can just fly the plane to the best spot to reach the target orbit) and the lack of upkeep for a spaceport. You might even be able to work around bad weather by having multiple drop-zones ready.
A long time ago I had occasion to visit Wales and witnessed harmony singing at a very grand scale. But that may have been because a high percentage of individuals were in smaller choir groups as part of local culture. And if only half of the entire singing crowd sings 2 to 3 harmony parts rather than the lead line, it sounds amazing.

With a little practice from young age, it’s not too difficult to harmonize, if you know the lead line and have a sense of culturally common chord structures (also learned by immersion).
I have not tried OnlyOffice or WPS office, but they look as polished as FreeOffice.
> Yes, McConnell and most Republicans want to avoid the $2K spend which is consistent with their ideology.

It's consistent with their politics, for the reasons already mentioned. The major US political parties don't have any consistent ideology.

> Trump's support of $2K checks is completely against policy instinct of his side. It's purely populist.

Explain why Milton Friedman and others like him on "their side" supported a negative income tax, which is effectively the same thing as sending the checks.

This is not a BitLocker bypass. It's a Windows login screen bypass. The BitLocker login is before Windows ever boots. This describes a system where the user has ALREADY bypassed the BitLocker login and has advanced on to the Windows login screen.
It’s funny that they have their own corner of the web where they own the entire API and the rest have to follow. Just because Mozilla and Apple share most of the API it doesn’t mean that Google won’t change it, in fact Manifest v3 is coming soon.

Mozilla has implemented additional APIs that are never going back into Chrome because Google doesn’t care and doesn’t have to.
I'm sure that depends on who you ask. I certainly view this as a failed attempt at saving lives.
Under your philosophy, how do you manage who should work on a project, how many people should work on a project, whether you need to hire more people and how long something will take?

Opening vaccine eligibility up, and allowing walk-ins if doses will expire, is part of how Israel was so successful at distribution. Multiple priority queues are nice in computer science, but managing them with time-sensitive vaccine doses is hard. Simple, imperfect and fast is better than perfect, complicated, and slow.

Getting a large swath of people vaccinated is more valuable than perfectly getting prioritization right. Prior to this change, NY was attempting to perfect prioritization, and was discarding many doses as they expired.
> The article makes it clear that they weren't permanently booted.

Should I say permanently destroyed? Certainly permanently damaged, whether past the point of even surviving remains to be seen.

You can't beat Hyrum's law by simply "forcing more people to use official API", with enough code people still depends on every implementation details in your code.

The problem with a shallow dismissal is not just that it's thoughtless, but that it's thoughtless where everyone can read it. A downvote, in contrast, isn't something that wastes our reading time.

And there's also an element of fairness. Why should a thoughtless, low-effort comment require more effort to respond to?

No. It’s not a surprise the only other example you could pull is the other one that was pushed by the media relentlessly for years. Anything else? I keep hearing America is a white supremacist country with Nazis everywhere. Where are they? Shouldn’t I see them more often? Why were there so many minorities at Trump rallies who were welcomed and never harmed (myself among them)? Maybe it’s all just a narrative being pushed?
You've spent your entire comment attacking an imagined "left" instead of engaging with the content of the article or contributing meaningfully to the discussion.

> The left thinks their ideological enemies are war criminals who should be executed without trial, or even better be defamed into unemployability and homelessness and hopefully commit suicide, the ultimate triumph for the far-left mob.

This is.. false on so many levels

> many white men in general, feel they are being treated very unfairly and realize that far-left activist employees are basically being allowed to frivolously hurt them with impunity and full company backing, even if their activism hurts the other employees ability to do their work and thus the company

This is also false.

This entire comment is full of delusions of victimhood and rants against an imagined enemy. It's telling that you used a sockpuppet or a throwaway account to write this instead of an actual account. I honestly feel sad for you.

It practically already exists. Xcode can import an existing WebExtension and generate an Xcode project for it. Assuming you are happy with the default behaviour of the companion app (which basically just gives you info on the extension, whether it is enabled in Safari, and how to enable it if not), you can just hit build and submit it to Apple.
We leave plenty of stuff out by the curb for folks to take for free.

We've got a hoarder couple 3 doors down who have been running a yard sale for about 5 years straight now.

I can't say I particularly care who gets the stuff we're giving away, but my wife and I definitely roll our eyes at each other when they see the hoarders attempting to sell something we left out for free.
Many people think that they live in a free democracy.

In reality, something like 50% of all working people are employed in a strict hierarchical organisation that is essentially feudal in its nature.

Most employees are the equivalent of serfs, overseen by lords, with a king in charge. The common employees don't get a vote. Their managers are not elected. They don't get a say in policy. The managers in turn form a strict hierarchy, much like in feudal times, with a top-down structure. A junior manager cannot say no to a senior manager. Nobody can say no to the CEO.

In this picture HR is essentially the inquisition. The inquisition was most certainly not the friend of the common man!

If you buck the system, if you step out of your place, if you're a commoner upsetting a lord, then you will be treated much like your ancestors would have been treated long ago: You will be put to the question. The inquisition will spare no pain to determine exactly why you stepped out of line and upset the natural order of things.
I'm interested in evidence that the vaccine works. Where should I start?

(I know how this sounds, but it's not like that. It's more like, it's a modern miracle that we have any vaccine at all within a year of an outbreak, and I am extremely keen to understand how this is possible rather than just accepting it as a thing that exists now, like airplanes.)

EDIT: No complaints, but it's fascinating how polarizing this topic is. One wouldn't expect a straightforward request for information to generate such feelings. Thank you to everyone who provided resources!
