Every point you made above is easily refuted as untrue.

The only difference I see was the media approved of one and didn't of the other. There are far more similarities.

Both felt an injustice and disenfranchisement had taken place by their government.

Both were co-opted by the most extremists members of the group and caused havoc.

Both groups ridiculed the perverse and dangerous actions of a few.

I don't agree with or associate with either but they were mostly the same.
Wouldn't that be the point of bonuses? It's not inappropriate in all cases, if it lets the org pay you more now without committing to do so forever, even if the market turns around. Otherwise you have to deal with painful cuts, or even people losing their jobs. Depends on the circumstances, and I agree it's bad to use as a wage suppression tool. Would you rather not have the money, so it doesn't feel like anything's being "taken away from you"?

Cant’t believe this isn’t an ethics violation, it is like going into the car dealership to change my oil and them charging me to take apart the engine because “It could catch a wider range of issues”.

I think that reflects a change in the way the web is used.

Anecdotally, I clicked on the monkey.org link, poked around for thirty seconds, found

- an FAQ that didn't answer any questions I had

- a list of users (no particular reason to click on any, so I didn't)

- a list of domains (no particular reason to click on any, so I didn't)

... and no understanding of what "monkey.org" was or is. I've learned more reading the comments on this HN post than I did from the website.

This isn't to say monkey.org should change anything about what it's doing; it seems to be what it wants to be, and that's great. But a search engine isn't going to index that highly, because it generally answers nobody's questions about anything.

The healthcare system is not a free market.

1. It’s very hard to shop around to find better prices or better service.

2. People often make choices like “Do you want this expensive life saving procedure or not?”

3. The average person isn’t informed enough to understand what their medical treatment needs are. Patients ask doctors what their recommendation is. Doctors often have an incentive to sell the most healthcare they reasonably can.

4. My ability to pay for healthcare is directly tied to my employer. There simply are less jobs that provide good healthcare than people that would like them. My ability to change positions in society is limited by my desire to continue to have access to affordable healthcare. This is practically a freedom limiting mechanism.

5. I’m limited in my choice of which healthcare to purchase based on my Insurance policy. My choice in insurance policy is similar to a suburbanite’s choice in an ISP. I have very few choices.

I've worked from home for almost 5 years, and it's been mostly good. But there are some things I've started to realize I've lost and I REALLY want them back. Since every interaction is "intentional" I don't know anyone in my company outside my team.

I've felt stuck professionally, the seperation between engineering and marketing and sales has always been physical. However I often made friends with the guys, and would hang out at their desks during coffee breaks. A few minutes chatting there, and other people start joining in. After a bit of this, I was pretty good friends with the whole department. This bridge I built over coffee, was the origional accelerant to my career. I had direct insight into the customers and their problems because of these conversations.

But I don't have that any more. I'm back in my silo, and I can't get out.

no. RNA is a very active molecule. It rarely sits around, nearly all organisms have RNAses which are eating RNA that is sitting around.
The traditional view of libertarian capitalists where government, democratic or otherwise, has no moral validity when regulating or prohibiting various forms commerce, falls on its face when confronted with the real world. The free market works passingly well for basic items that people are free to chose whether to purchase or not. It fails spectacularly when one party is forced. In situations such as those presented in TFA the market fails spectacularly, and government can and should step in, and so long as backed by the democratic will, has the moral justification to do so.
It's worthwhile noting that the example makes use of more than just typed lambdas. It uses first-class polymorphism right off the bat.
> But that was never really on the table.

I don't think there is a misunderstanding at all.

Fundamentally, Google—A company which has a history of over-reaching and lying about it—is implementing a solution which allows them to continue doing what Google does as best it can given the current atmosphere.

They could do what the other browser makers have done and just eliminate 3rd party cookies. They could make this feature opt in. The fact that people seem determined to assert Google must have this feature and we are all somehow better for it is absurd.

Edit: In retrospect there does seem to be a fundamental mis-understanding of sorts. If you fundamentally trust Google, I suppose this whole thing looks different with rose colored lenses on.

> In what ways do you see McKinsey’s actions with Purdue Pharma as being bad?

I think it's mostly self evident.

> In what ways were they typical of McKinsey’s behavior with other clients? In what ways do you see the actions with Purdue as being exceptional for McK? What factors allowed the company to act as it did? Have those factors been addressed?

McK is large and very decentralized, and there's a culture of not talking about work to avoid creating conflicts of interest, so it's easy for one partner to end up doing their own thing in a way that the majority would not agree with. The Opioid work had a spin on it with the rebates that I recall had a mind towards preventing them, but I cannot remember the details so I won't pretend that's supposed to be compelling at all.

The work with Opioids, and I would also call out ICE, were high profile struggles internally that have been addressed numerous times by top level leadership on global calls, in a way that I thought was emotionally empathetic to the situation. Voicing dissenting opinions is encouraged, and I think people were free to voice grievances. They have since created a committee whereby other unrelated partners need to review proposals for ethics before it gets approved.

If you work for facebook, you build facebook. If you work for mckinsey, you may work on improving access to renewable energy, automaker margins, oil and gas marketing, or pro bono human rights work. Most people will fall into one of the neutral categories. To what degree are you accountable for a few guys doing something completely different that have no particular connection to you? I don't know. It's a weird dynamic but I would say "a bit, but less than a more traditional centralized company". I feel convinced that top level leadership is taking reasonable steps to address ethical issues and the the broad general population of the firm wants to encourage this. I don't know if it's possible to fully prevent bad decisions in the long term. From an external perspective, there's always going to be just one McKinsey, and that's tough to reconcile.

I can't say I know anything about Enron.
It isn't for users who interactively run basic shell commands. The article covers the relevant use cases.
The article is now almost a quarter century old and the cables have gotten better. In fact, even that cable probably got a lot faster after optical coherent detection was introduced, i.e. much more capable modems. But the way the cables are actually laid and especially the details of the shore landings and the issues of terrestrial runs, are as current as ever.
For those who don't know, rust-analyzer is an implementation of the Language Server Protocol for the Rust programming language, written in Rust. It assists you while you program, for example finding usages of a piece of code or going to the definition of a function. Basically a Rust IDE that you can plug into any text editor (in theory).

> Assuming the underwater cable itself is 10 times as expensive as regular cable, its about $150 million for 9000 km.

Still sounds really inexpensive when I consider it contains a large number of repeaters and is meant to stay at the bottom of the ocean.

Edit: Forgot to write, I haven't run the numbers myself but I enjoyed your reasoning here, you put a smile on my face :

> At 5 knots, it would take about 1000 hours to lay the deep sea part of the cable. If the ship costs $50k/hour to operate, that would be about $40 million. (I have no idea what it costs to operate these ships, but Google tells me that big cruise ships cost about that much to operate, and I'd guess that a cable laying ship is cheaper).
Have you ever ejected a CRA? Your problems are just beginning once you've opened that can of worms. I used CRA exactly up until the point when I ejected it the first time. Never again. The sheer amount of code behind CRA is... remarkable.

Now I have a package/webpack/tsconfig files that I just re-use (and update as needed) between projects. I've never encountered a problem I couldn't solve. Sure now I need to manage the configuration of each project, but, I kid you not, my webpack.config.js file is 100 LoC total. This includes everything most projects probably need: Dev server setup and proxying, JS minification, JS bundling/code splitting, and SCSS/CSS transformation and purging.

I'm sure other projects have other needs, but it's really not that hard to understand these technologies.

And don't give me this "But all of that code is there to help you!" lecture. I've been deploying reasonably complex React apps since its inception, and have yet to encounter the kinds of edge cases to which the above sentiment is likely referring. Hey, maybe I'm just lucky...

A less-general but arguably more useful connection I've seen drawn is that the Visitor pattern is basically exchangeable with union types + pattern-matching (for languages that have these features); in the same way that objects can be exchanged with closures and iteration can be exchanged with recursion.

Which one of the two is "better" probably comes down to personal preference and/or the language being used, but it's good to know that you have the option.

The Pareto principle suggests that the hypothetical Google bookstore, being maximally useful to the querying individual should be showing some ten books for any given query if those books successfully answer 80% of the questions.

A randomizing carousel is a different tool, which Google is not. Nor, to my knowledge, is DDG or Bing... They show a different set of ten books, but the same optimizing goals apply for their use cases.

Is anyone doing something like a search engine that intentionally surfaces rarer data (i.e. makes the tradeoff intentionally of "less likely to satisfy your query, but seen by fewer people")? I'm not aware of one.
Yeah, you should think of it more like GCP runs on Borg, not the other way around, although the description is not perfect. Also Google's cloud services like Cloud Spanner and Cloud Bigtable run directly on Borg.

What's terrifying is that Google described each of their B4 sites as having 60tbps uplinks in 2017, growing at 100x per 5 years. So a 250tbps undersea cable is nice but when you think about it probably not enough to make intercontinental transfer too cheap to meter.

Desirable streets: where do people prefer to walk?
I sort of stumbled into a process like this. I built a game as a hobby project with the intent to hand it off to a community that I thought totally wanted it. Interest in the project was minor. So for the next project I tried to actually engage the community as much as possible to see if anyone actually wanted to try it. Turns out the answer was still no, but at least I got a chance to prove my thesis that the project was doomed and I couldn't blame the lack of engagement.
There was a similar story last September. Here's the lede:

No, it was ideological, but also drew the attention and support of state actors not from THIS country. Like with Cambridge Analytica, in fact.

The data grab aspect serves as a means of control and access into a LOT of American citizens who've given up their identities in order to serve an ideological purpose. They might not have been clear on exactly who was looking to overthrow the USA, but by the time they signed on they'd decided for their own reasons that was what they wanted, so it's not as much a data grab as a pipeline for terrorism.

As much as the data is valuable, control of the people is more valuable.

Old timer story - years ago, Demon Internet (my old employer) was beginning to enter super-growth and wanted to really set itself up for trans-atlantic connections. So they decided to buy a T1 - 45Mbps link across the atlantic. Now it turns out that BT had only ever resold fractions of T1s - they had never actually had anyone want a whole one. And as such their sales commissions did not cap out.

So, we rang up, a sales guy picked up the phone and got a million pound pay day, and resigned that evening.

But our customers were happy so thats what counts :-)
