> Maybe we both program different kind of software and maybe need different environments ?

That may be true. My dislike for open floor plan offices is actually less about noise and more about visual distractions. I stare off into the distance when thinking and having visual distractions within my field of view can easily interrupt those thoughts. Thanks to my upbringing, I'm pretty good at tuning noises out and I usually am wearing headphones anyway. But the visual distractions lead me to get off whatever train of thought that I'm on. I don't find cubicles to be significantly less noisy than open floor plans, but they do massively (to completely) eliminate visual distractions. One compromise I had at a previous employer that worked well was to "pod" cubicles, so you had your back to your team but could turn around and talk, but you weren't distracted by other teams during the day having nerf fights or whatever the heck they were doing elsewhere.

Also, I do think there's an element of different personalities involved. I think more extroverted people probably enjoy offices and open offices generally, where-as I am introverted and a bit socially anxious, so having privacy and no interruptions for my work is best for my personality.
Whether a CDN is caching or not could itself just be a misconfiguration.

Passing dynamic non-cached requests through a CDN isn’t about saving a few kB for the server (by definition it still has to generate it). It’s about improving end-user performance through things like having edge termination of TLS.

So it’s not so easy to have such a blanket statement as no API requests should go through a CDN. While it’s all too easy to inadvertently turn on the caching of requests.
It feels like this article completely misses the mark with its tone... Amazon didn't "reverse course" at all.

The new guidance is still very much "office centric" and requires that everyone be in the office 3 days a week. And even if you do get an exception to work remotely (which will probably be extremely rare), you are still required to live within commute distance of your assigned office. That defeats the purpose of remote work for a lot of people.
That sounds like an easier problem to solve than tapping a volcano to mine Bitcoin.

I think that not being able to access a drug because the FDA cites inconclusive research could also be terrible.

Obviously you'd have to balance the risks of side effects with the chances of effectiveness.

But for a drug with really rare and mild side effects by all means you should be able to try it if you want to without becoming a criminal

> How is that even legal?

It's worse than that. Several banks tried to enforce in their terms and conditions that sharing your bank login data would be a breach of contract or at least absolve the bank of any liability. This was deemed in violation of antitrust laws for some reason, so now banks have to actively allow this which is just brain-dead IMHO.

The only upside of this is that we now have PSD2 now anyway, so the damage that can be done by someone who has your login credentials is limited.
I think what they were getting at is: there's a minimal difference in terms of "look and feel" between non-tesla EVs and the gas counterparts designed by the same manufacturer.

Tesla very much intends to redefine the driver experience as we know it. In the model 3, the entire control system in the center of the dashboard has been replaced by a giant singular 15" carputer touch screen.

If you don't believe me, you can make the comparison for yourself. Just do an image search for the interior on the Model 3 and compare it to that of a Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt.
I think right to repair bills could be important, but I think they should also cover cases where the physical device is fine, but the company is no longer running a service, or sending security updates. In these cases, "repair" should include the ability to run different firmware etc.
> How would you end up getting other people's data in your app if your app only calls that unique URL?

From what I understand what happened with this outage, the CDN would still cache /api/account?id=123, and someone with account ID 234 could access it by altering the URL to retrieve the cached version, if account 123 has used the app recently.

That's because a CDN has (usually) no concept of authorization/authentication and can't make decisions that /api/account?id=123 shouldn't be served to someone other than the owner of account 123.

It would be less catastrophic (at least from a PR point of view) because people wouldn't get immediately served others' accounts, but you'd be vulnerable to attack.
I think the parent is talking about chartalism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartalism), which is essentially the idea that fiat currencies derive their value from the fact that taxes must be paid in them.

A sort of "just so" story about this would go something like (with much credit to David Graeber):

"Way back when, some Assyrian king got the great idea to, instead of giving their soldiers food and drink, give their soldiers tokens. They would then demand a certain number of those tokens per head from their subjects. Suddenly the tokens have value, and the subjects are put to work selling goods and services to the army."

I'm not an expert on this theory, but there are potential oddities, similar to your points:

* This would suggest the value of the currency is closely tied to the total taxation. (Why, for example, is the Swiss Franc highly valued by investors outside of Switzerland?) I guess you could validate or invalidate this by looking at whether the ratio of M2 to annual tax revenue is somewhat fixed (across currencies) or quite fluid?

* This fails to explain currencies which retain value after they are no longer in use by a central government (as with the Somali shilling, as noted in the Wikipedia article) or, indeed, Bitcoin.

Personally, my sense is that chartalism is correct as an explanation for one way to bootstrap a currency, but clearly (as Bitcoin shows) is not the only way to bootstrap a currency, and once you create a level of reliable demand, you no longer need it (hence the Somali shilling or, perhaps, the high valuation of the CHF outside of Swiss taxpayers).
that is simply not true

The "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" is not a Nobel Prize.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Memorial_Prize_in_Econom...

As the name implies, it is a prize created in "honor of" Nobel by the Swedish central bank. As such, there is an inherent ideological bias. Many would dispute the claim that it is "reputable".

Shiller is famous for suggesting that consumers don't actually know what is good for them, while the state supposedly has better information about appropriate consumption habits. He also misappropriated the word "Phishing" in this context.

Concise and correct. The latter is probably one of the few benefits I've seen to being in-office, but even then I think it depends on your country. I don't think it's easy for foreigners to get an American remote job, for example.
None of those require a "meaningful history that tells a bigger story".
Its exactly what is being talked about. All of those things are things inherent to the office experience that go away when working remotely.
And that's exactly why it should not be approved. There is no proof there is ANY effect on the disease outcome. The trial was halted prematurely for futility ffs! And now the FDA is giving people false hope? Letting them spend $65k/year for possible snake oil with no scientific evidence behind it?

Alzheimer's is a terrible disease. And I get it, you're willing to try anything for a possible improvement. Problem is, there is no proof at all that aducanumab leads to any kind of improvement: only stuff that you might find if you do tons of data mining to get the result you want. If the drug was that good, you would find it each and every time you try it, not one out of a hundred times if you look at a subset of a subset.

The only reason the Biogen wants approval of this drug, is to earn money out of desperate people willing to try anything. The FDA should be there to protect people from this. They have failed to do that here.
It sounds like you're thinking of "sequence alignment", which is a pretty standard bioinformatics tool.

BLAST (=Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is one common version, and the NIH'S NCBI has a variety of nice online tools here: https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi

Note that it does take a little bit of background knowledge to interpret:some motifs are just really common, others are shared.
Or SIGGRAPH for that matter.
"meeting girls at lunch" is a lot less of a benefit under modern expectations of workplace behavior.

It's pretty easy to imagine an API having an endpoint like GET /api/account/mine, which is implicitly parameterised by the user ID associated with that session. Or even a 'list' rather than a 'lookup' endpoint, like GET /api/messages, which fetched all private messages associated with the authenticated user – or whatever the equivalent private information would be, in Klarna's 'domain'.

Edit: If the other commenter is correct, then it's less bad than I imagined. Or rather it would at least only be triggered, seemingly, if someone deliberately and maliciously requested something that didn't 'belong' to them.
No, and to be clear, this is not a good approach to life. I was being a bit glib in my comment. I am not advocating for anyone to actually think in this way. I do indeed suffer from OCD/paranoia/anxiety, though it is currently well managed with medication.

For anyone that actually thinks in this way, as I do, I recommend seeking help. It took me half my life to actually get help and I realized after being on medication just how bad my anxiety was. It is good to be cautious, but when you see daggers everywhere it is probably time to get help.

Agreed that the post-war version of work is dated and that maybe we don't all need to get a job. But people need something meaningful to do, at the risk of mental health and other problems.

Common UX Design Mistakes and How to Avoid Them?
They're fun! Something about soft pulsing colors is just...nice. Properly diffused, they go well with art, to accent rooms, etc.

I've never seen them used inside of a PC, though, which made this project page a bit confusing. Is that a thing now? Because that does sound like a garish and distracting place for them.
Thanks, that's right. I actually am grateful to have a team that I like a lot at the moment; I just prefer working fully remotely and my coworkers happen to feel the same way, in this case.
Where did I mentioned the kernel?

And no, that is not correct.

Mac OS was a mix of Object Pascal (originally created by Apple), Assembly and C++.

Windows (32 bit variants) and OS/2 userspace has always been a mix of C and C++.

BeOS userspace was C++.

Symbian was full C++, including the kernel by the way.
A friend invented a device to do that. It was a small backpack you (or whoever is making the listing) would wear and walk into each room of the building. After gathering the data, software would turn it into a floorplan. It probably took less time per room than getting good listing photos. Not sure why she never went to market with it but I'm going to guess something similar could be done now with just a modern smartphone and the right software.

> ADUHELM is an amyloid beta-directed antibody indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

- https://www.biogencdn.com/us/aduhelm-pi.pdf

I believe the advisory panel's position is that it is not indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's and that Biogen should not be allowed to say this.

In their press release (https://investors.biogen.com/news-releases/news-release-deta...), they explicitly describe it as an "Alzheimer's disease treatment". Again, I think the advisory panel considers this untrue, and certainly unproven.

The FDA could have said "this drug is safe and may be sold, but you may not describe it as an Alzheimer's treatment, and you must explicitly state that it has been found to be ineffective as an Alzheimer's treatment in clinical trials".

This is a sort of test playground for marketing, brands, and so on since the programs occupy a no man's land between games, academic research, toys, entertainment, and programming.

It also satisfies the self-feeding dogfood condition: similar to games such as RoboWar, it is difficult to resist the temptation to experiment at the simulation level, a phenomenon that could be described as the MFTL effect.

"Don't buy things using PayPal, otherwise there's a risk that you'll be banned from PayPal and won't be able to buy things using PayPal"
Sorry to hear that about your close family/friends. However, vouching for a rushed approval based on emotions is why such panels exist. That quality assurance is extremely important, especially with respect to drugs. Keep in mind the worst case scenario: the drug does not work, the drug causes adverse side effects, AND it costs money.

Not really true in Germany where FinTS and its precursor HBCI have been supported by many banks since the 90s or so. Ironically, it's typically the hip start-up banks like N26 that don't support this standard.
> I don't want to argue which rule would be more natural or make a more interesting show. But without a clear rule, I cannot decide on a playing strategy.

It doesn't make any difference to your strategy! You don't get any choice if the host opens the door and reveals the prize, so your strategy can't possibly be affected by what the payoff for that scenario is - even if you win 10x the prize if that happens, or get executed if that happens, it makes no difference to whether you should switch or not in the scenario where you actually do get given a choice.

Nope. The sum method is implemented in C, and as soon as it sees a float value in the array it switches to Kahan-Babuska summation.

I had good luck doing both with crypto in the past. And being old enough to remember when the only options for 'moving' money were wire transfer and western union - I appreciate the speed and low cost.

If you really are that bothered by it - think of it as a 'collective barter' system. You can pick which systems you want to support (if any) and collectively a 'value' is placed on the 'points'. As I recall, there were a few good sized barter collectives in the US, big enough the govt. started taxing barter 'income'? (it was years ago though, so my memory could be off)

As for 'a dodge' - you're the one quoting the least nuanced views, and throwing aspersions. Maybe stop getting financial advice off you-tube ?
