This is really a team sport. There is a lot of strategy that goes into aligning the proper resources to win the race - From controlling the field, pulling in breakaways, supporting your teammates through mechanicals and still having the energy to finish out the final sprint. I would suggest catching the 30min breakdowns of the race on NBC Sports and the Latern Rouge on Youtube to better understand the race in a compressed format.

There's no reason to believe the costs are accurate at all. Obviously a business would lie if they applied this theory to their pricing. The experiment was based on the presence and magnitude of numbers in the advertising.
I honestly dont see any different between graphql and a REST api, in terms of what data is available where.

if you have data you don't want publicly available, just.....don't include it in the model, and make sure your server implementation doesn't return it.

It is possible I don't understand your comment, I suppose, but I really don't see what is so unique about graphql from a security standpoint.

Anyway I would have thought the reasons why we don't have a unified inbox are pretty obvious. Companies that own the communication systems don't want it and the differences between them are too great to unify.
Is it really a good idea to treat the agreements you're consenting to as spam? Sure they're annoying, but it's still a legal agreement, no?
Amazon is entirely apathetic to the concerns of their warehouse and trucking staff. That's why they need to wear diapers, soil themselves, shit in bags in the back of their trucks, and piss in bottles. If Amazon was interested in compromising we wouldn't be seeing nationwide coverage of these issues wherever Amazon builds a warehouse.
>Europe had an _audience_ for techno, yes but also an audience for some of the cheesiest garbage dance music on the planet.

That's actually a sign that a genre has taken hold and reached maturity in a location, with subgenres catering for every layer of society.

As a genre ambassador, you know you've won when your sound (even a watered down version of it) has become the sound of pop music chart-toppers. That happened in Europe in the early 90s, in America in the early 2010s.

> Don't lecture us, Detroit and Chicago are the heart and soul of techno, even if the artists from there weren't always appreciated at home.

I don't know, that's a bit like saying that Helsinki is the heart and soul of Linux, and Uppsala that of MySQL, which is technically true but ... this isn't really where it came of age and blossomed.

> Europe has been exporting its garbage trance and progressive crap since the 90s. Soul driven techno from African-American artists had a way of being exported over to Europe, absorbed by the locals, and exported back as soulless amphetamine driven crap.

That's controversial. Techno is often described as the child of African-American soul music on one side, and white European experimental electronic music on the other.

It's trendy to stress the former and downplay the latter, and that's certainly fair enough for house music.

But when it comes to trance, eurodance, etc, I think that owes almost nothing to America or African-American music, and everything to Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre.
What is an SEO specialist afraid of?
Fears of SEO specialists. Interesting statistics from Plerdy

You can point out your fears and see what others are more likely to fear. And we are afraid, for example, when:
- Forgot to open robots.txt
- The site went into the red zone PageSpeed Insights
- A lot of 500 errors were found in the logs
- Google updated the algorithm
- SEO conflicts with UX
- The client changes something in the text zones and does not warn the SEO

What are your biggest SEO fears?
Are there not many potential explanations other than a nebulous concept of "racism" for these statistics?

> Conservative policies take a bit more explaining to get their point across, and are much more focused on the logical and realistic side of things.

>...

>Also, the time horizon for conservative viewpoints is often much longer (think about generations in the future and the impact today's decisions will have down the road).

Conservative policy in the US toward climate change right now is "it's a worldwide scientific hoax designed to take down the United States economy." That is not logical or reasonable. It expressly ignores the needs of future generations. Give me oil and economic growth now, externalities be damned.

>"everyone should have world class health care!"

The United States is the about the only western country for which the right-wing views this as illogical and unrealistic. Why? Maybe it is because sick people sometimes have trouble keeping a job, and

>"someone who doesn't work and doesn't contribute to society doesn't deserve govt handouts"

Is that it?

This. Your resolvers should still do access control. No different than a REST api would.
But I'm sure the environment can adapt too. I mean, it's not like anyone cared about preserving species and ecosystems before we arrived, catastrophic events happened, population of animales died and arose, for billions of years. Billions.

So we're the latest catastrophic event, big deal. The earth will adapt as it always has and at least we can try to discuss our impact, unlike an asteroid or a syberian forest fire.
I’m always fairly torn by these numbers (I’ve done a lot of research and tracked this[1]). There’s a lot of confounding factors...

The lockdowns increased the rate of suicides substantially. Largely suicides occur in people 65+, so a 100% increase in suicides would be some 150k deaths in the same age range as COVID.

https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/suicide.shtml

Murder is also up some 50% and there were riots...

Not disputing the excess deaths, just the causes aren’t all that clear imo.

There are a few factors pushing it, I think:

* There's thought to be several regions of the seabed where the mining operation can basically just scoop up the top layer and get economically extractable ore out of it.

* The seabed is international waters, not under the jurisdiction of any country. I know UNCLOS does prescribe some rules for deep-sea mining, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the ambitions for mining here were based off of being able to dodge undesired (from the mining companies' perspective) national rules around mining, such as taxes or environmental regulations.

* The ocean floor is a lot more of a dead zone than anything terrestrial. (That doesn't mean it's entirely dead). Again, I suspect many are hoping that environmental destructiveness in the seafloor goes much more unnoticed, because there's much less love for preserving microscopic Archaea species than fluffy birds or the like.

You're made for each other. Excess deaths capture the deaths from lockdown related causes too, like my grandmother, who died when her social life was indefinitely stopped, and teenagers that committed suicide due to lockdowns

Excess deaths don't tell us how deadly COVID really was, they tell us how deadly COVID plus the COVID response really were.

Someday historians will argue: which was worse? The disease or the treatment? I don't think it's as clear cut in reality as you or your "friend" that you're mocking think.

Maybe both of you should try listening to the people you disagree with

Supporting evidence for your point comes, I think, from the fact that, for each bicycle, the left end of the handlebars appears ahead of the right one - meaning that it crossed the plane of the camera view first. I don't think the wheels could have been noticably misaligned from straight ahead here, could they? - in which case, this would imply that the camera plane is skewed as you suggest.

If this is correct, then it suggests a way to estimate, and correct for, the skew, as we have other photos and videos showing approxinately how far the riders were from each other and from the camera, as well as their trajectories as they crossed the line.

I discovered Litestream here on HN after benbjohnson shared it here a few months back.[0] I wasn't interested at first because I don't ever use SQLite, but it stuck with me. I eventually realized it's a great way to achieve vendor flexibility in hosting apps, so I used Litestream to build a pastebin-style service for my app and wanted to share what I learned.

Happy to answer any questions or hear any feedback about this post.

Actually I was a Math major the biggest thing for me is 1. notes can be very cryptic after the class without the verbal context. A lot of course also have that advantage where the teacher would provide notes afterwards so yeah focusing in on what was said was the highest value.

It was my fault that I zoned out, that's why I had to find a way to avoid it.

There's no expected level of resource consumption.

Bitcoin is a shitty public ledger, the resource consumption is due to the significant collective interest in it, not what it accomplishes.
why linear though
Is there anything deep here? There's a parametrized representation of a function and it's being interpreted as a neural network, why is this surprising? It's like saying that Newton's second law is a neural network: F=ma can be written log(F) = log(m) + log(a). Aha, this is a neural network! The inputs are m and a, the first layer is sparsely connected with log activation functions, the second layer is fully connected with an exponential activation function:

F = exp(c1 * o1 + c2 * o2)
o1 = log(c3 * a + c4 * m)
o2 = log(c5 * a + c6 * m)

If you feed it enough data you'll find c1=c2=c3=c6=1 and c4=c5=0.

But saying that Newton's second law is a Neural Network, while correct, seems a bit deceptive in that it's not a deep idea at all.
In carrier, they are able to sleep and you walking around makes them sleep. They also can wait without milk for an hour or so. They don't eat constantly.

In car, they are in the back, so if they cry, you have to stop, exit car, deal with them, enter again and so on. And driving while baby cries in the back is annoying. Public transport and carrier is not that much worst, assuming you are not carrying too many things.

More importantly, I compared difficulty of toddler and baby. Toddler in car can be noisy too.

As a data point in my country (Poland) there haven't been that many deaths since WW2.

The pre-war population of this country was around 34mln - a figure reached again in the early 70s - while currently it's slightly less than 38mln, so this event can definitely be seen as rare.
The upside is that the wealthy have an incentive to keep the currency functional, otherwise their wealth is lost.

The downside is that "functional" isn't exactly a high bar. For example reducing block rewards to encourage deflation would disproportionately help the wealthy so they may push it even if it isn't ideal for the average person.

This is very different for people. I have some issues with my sight causing pages that are mostly white to be painful to look at. Over time, it triggers migraines. But I know people with the opposite issue. So as an accessibility feature, websites should offer both modes.
In a vacuum it would give you more of a sense about how much of an outlier this year was. But obviously enough other things have changed over the last 50 years that the numbers would stop being comparable. Perhaps looking at a 5 year sliding window to see how big the peaks usually are relative to their surrounding years could get at this with a bit less confounding.
What about the "guilt effect" of showing that the high price is mostly because of the labor costs involved. Wouldn't that potentially dirty your experiment of just showing "cost" vs. involving a human element?
I think the author missed the point that 45% of Accenture's revenues is from their business process outsourcing activities (e.g. accounts payable processing).

https://investor.accenture.com/~/media/Files/A/Accenture-IR-...

As for the 55% of revenues that come from consulting, I have been a client of Accenture (and other consulting firms). It is very hard for an organization to gear up to replace a large customer billing and information system. The activity happens once every 15 years and may be a very different technology than other solutions deployed in the company.
I find Enterprise Architect to be very bloated. I use it on occasion but the useful stuff is rather hard to find. I'm using this on a ~500 person year project though I am not sure project size is an important differentiator.

One of my former employees cautioned me that my since my leadership model doesn't virtue signal that I might find it hurts me more than it helps my prospects. I'm not sure what to make of this.

It's not a question of what people "mind" or "don't mind", it's a question of what level of risk people will accept in order to live a normal life. Hiding away from people may reduce risk in a lot of ways, but most people find it unacceptable.

Before COVID, I was under the impression that most Americans found "Give me liberty or give me death" an admirable sentiment. But it turns out that I was mistaken about that.
>We have seen historically massive upticks in child abuse material [1], caused by two inventions: the internet and smartphones with cameras, and there's a strong case made that it reflects an actual, large, increase in child sexual abuse.

I would like to hear that strong case. I cannot find the data right now, but I have heard the rate of child sexual abuse cases has fallen since the internet's debut. A possible reason (if the rate has fallen) being that pedophiles, who know they will be severely punished if caught abusing a child, now have easy access to existing material. They don't have to exploit or abuse children around them.

We don't have a guaranteed way to keep somebody from developing pedophilia, so we shouldn't ban fictional material that isn't related to actual exploitation or abuse. Images, videos, or even writing based on real events need to be caught (with the usual caveat of non-pornographic use, like a victim's memoire or a therapist's training materials).

Again, I'm still looking for hard data on the rates of child sexual abuse.
GP is a straw man only in the part where it quotes David Attenborough because the quoted concerns weren't related to this accident. The rest of their argument is valid as far as I can tell - please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, David Attenborough saying seabed mining is untested and has a largely unknown environmental impact is not a great argument either as it stands in the article. It would be helpful if Reuters provided more context or a direct quote.

Suicides declined in 2020 [1]

Cost benefit analysis is important. But it's pretty clear the vast majority of excess deaths were covid related, because there's a very strong correlation between excess deaths and reported covid cases/deaths, even when you look at different states that had different peaks at different times, and no such correlation to other responses like different types of lockdowns. More delayed / indirect / long-term effects might be harder to measure though.

My guess is that it is mainly driven by the increasing adoption of microservice (or just generally more distributed architectures). Doing fine-grained authorization in that type of architecture quite difficult and people are starting to realize that.
It's funny because I guess I'm old but that kind of stuff feels sort of like the "end of the road" for techno and not part of the history, more of the end of the history.

I liked some of it at the time -- I have some of the Code Red Adam Beyer stuff on coloured red vinyl somewhere -- but it's a bit soul-less and monolithic. A very white middle class European straightlaced "thump thump thump" interpretation of the genre.

The stuff from Europe in the late 90s and early 2000s that I loved the most that got left out of the "techno history" was the "No Future" / Scandinavian Records school -- Neil Landstrumm, Cristian Vogel, Dave Tarrida, etc. really wonky wonk stuff, very creative. That's what I was playing back then.
As a contrary to that, many stores have a phone app that lets you look up items in a given store location. I've been using that exclusively for the last few years instead of trying to find someone to help me. I'm sure that these apps can and do report on searches that turn up out of stock items or unknown items.

Of course I do miss the service level I used to be able to get; for example I could walk into a box store and find an employee in the plumbing aisle, describe my problem, and they would not only show me where the item I needed is located, but would also give me tips on installation or even talk me out of the purchase if my problem didn't actually need a replacement part (but and adjustment instead).
I think there's value in hiring people who have been trained in a standardized process that prioritizes chains of responsibility, detailed analysis and reliability over velocity, flexibility and bug-tolerance.

Plus, these days, the usual electrical engineering curriculum is ~50% programming, which is more than can be said for some CS curricula (which aren't standardized the way ABET does for EE).
Heh, if I’m being honest zero most of the time.

I think as soon as you start looking at this as a spectrum question and not a binary question, this argument falls apart.

Lets say console charges 30% to increase profit from -a% to +b%

Lets say Apple charges 30% to increase profit from +x% to +y%

The argument boils down to "One should be allowed to charge if it makes something unprofitable profitable. Therefore consoles should be allowed to charge but Apple should not."

But wouldn't this argument imply it is also wrong for consoles to charge in excess of what makes their profit greater than 0%? Or is there some fixed small amount of profit for which this is ok, say 5%, and Apple's profit from phones alone already exceeds this small number?
