If you have no control at all over the client, then ultimately, you have to just take it and build your service to handle that amount of traffic. Adding jitter is a technique that you use when writing clients. That's why I mentioned it in the context of retries. If you are writing a CDN per the article, at some point your CDN has to make requests back to the origin. If one of those requests fails and you retry, you add jitter there to avoid DoSing yourself. If you are working in a microservices architecture, you add jitter on retries between your services.

The best you can do with clients that are out of your control is to publish a client library/SDK for your API that is convenient for your customers to use and implements best practices like exponential backoff, jitter, etc. If you have documentation with code snippets that junior devs are likely to copy and paste, include it in those.

If you've painted yourself into a corner like you describe and are seeing extremely regular traffic patterns, you might be able to pre-cache. Ie, it's 12:01 and you know that a barrage is coming at 12:05. Start going down the list of clients/feeds that you know are likely to be requested based on recent traffic patterns and generate the response, putting it in your cache/CDN with a five minute TTL. Then at least a good portion of the requests should be served straight from there and not add load to the origin. There are obviously drawbacks/risks to that approach, but it might be all you can really do.

It's incredibly sad but not at all surprising that so many people so quickly write off everyone that has to come in contact with unvaccinated children.

This society has little respect for the lives of teachers and staff that have to do the job of caring for kids so that parents can have time to work. I hoped that people would come away from the experience with a little bit of growth knowing how difficult it is to do childcare 24/7, but of course the entitlement knows no bounds.

Generally parked automotive fires are started by a 12 volt electrical fault that progresses to fuel lines and interior plastics and upholstery. This is not optimal but a lot easier to contain than parked lithium battery powered car fires which require 20 tons of water and several hours to extinguish, followed by removal to a safe place in case of reignition.

Accident impact damaged battery gang fires are a lot more difficult to control due to unstable stored energy
This is a fine hit piece coming from Jeff "can't compete with SpaceX" Bezos' WaPo.

It starts with the headline:

> It’s a risk many automakers are taking seriously.

Implying Tesla doesn't take this seriously. And the argument: other car makers recalled cars for fire risk.

What if the reason is that Tesla didn't find a defect that warrants a recall?

If we assume that regulatory bodies are not somehow favoring Tesla, more recalls by other car makers show that Tesla cars are safer in that regard.

It would also imply that Tesla took this issue seriously before they released the cars, not after.

And also this gem:

> Tesla in the past has argued that its cars are a tenth as likely to catch fire as gas-powered vehicles, drawing on data from the National Fire Protection Association and U.S. Federal Highway Administration.
> Still, safety experts note that the fires can burn more intensely and last much longer.

So, the government data show that Tesla cars are safer than gas cars wrt. fires. WaPo doesn't dispute that.

Still, they manage to spin that superior safety of Tesla with some shade.

> The Washington Post has documented at least five fires

You don't say. Five out 1.5 million cars.

> Tesla had come under scrutiny over concerns it allegedly manipulated battery software in older vehicles to lessen the risk of fire.

So when Tesla releases a software update to lessen the probability of fire (something GM also did recently after many Bolt fires), WaPo says it's "manipulating battery software".

This whole article is just trying to make people think that Tesla is uniquely bad at fires when the reality is that not only electric cars are safer than gas cars AND Tesla cars are safer than other electric cars.

There's a long fascinating discourse in there about genre vs literary fiction that's well worth a read.

The quality of service of the NHS is extremely low compared to its European counterparts. It’s not my problem, because I have a very comprehensive healthcare insurance from my employer, which costs more than 300£ per month per person.

Just to give a practical example, you can go through an entire pregnancy without ever seeing an NHS gynaecologist (I know because it’s my experience), and if you go to private doctors, which you should, 3 visits plus some ultrasound scans and tests may cost in excess of 3000£. Also GPs have a tendency to prescribe (random) medicines without referring patients to specialists, which is simply not civilised, and so you end up going to a private doctor and paying 2-300£ per visit.

A family of 3 can easily spend 5-6K£ per annum in healthcare, especially during the first years of the child.

I would prefer a take home assignment to the typical leetcode questions or a review of my work and code samples.

Interestingly I spoke with a former Microsoft Product Manager earlier this year and he told me "the most senior engineers give the worst interviews because you have to use parts of your brain that you haven't used in 20 years".

I live in Los Angeles and years ago (and for most companies where I work) algo interviews are not a thing but this year I've been getting contacted non-stop by recruiters including several FAANG so I've been cramming leetcode and it's not fun.

I've come to realize that by cramming leetcode I'm also missing out on important topics such as security, real-world performance, and other things that I used to actively study.

But at the price Silicon Valley companies pay it can be worth it I guess.

I think it's possible to be both honest and readable.

One way to look at the issue is that the confusion stems from giving the same name to operators of different types, namely the "Instant plus Period" operator and the "Period plus Period" operator.

Period could be implemented as a vector with independent components for days, months, and so on. (I don't know if that's how JodaTime does it, but that's what I would do if I wanted it to have a "plus" operation.) Then it could have a well-defined operator appropriately named "plus", which is both commutative and associative as one would expect.

"Instant plus Period", however, is asymmetric, and cannot satisfy the identities we associate with "plus". So let's give it a name that is also asymmetric. How about "advanceBy"?

2021-01-30.advanceBy(1 month) = 2021-02-28

2021-01-30.advanceBy(1 month).advanceBy(1 month) = 2021-03-28

2021-01-30.advanceBy(1 month plus 1 month) = 2021-03-30

2021-01-30.advanceBy(2 months) = 2021-03-30

That seems much less mysterious to me. Sure, a casual reader wouldn't be immediately confident about what advanceBy returns in all cases, but giving it a name that conveys its asymmetry helps a lot.

> An controversial book on investing I recently read is Lifecycle Investing which argues that young people are often much too conservative in their investment strategy, because they should model their future earnings as a bond and allocate enough to equities to compensate for holding this bond, even leveraging up to 100% to get the right allocation.

That’s a pretty interesting idea. I wouldn’t take the future earnings = bond concept literally, especially if you’re in a high volatility profession, but it seems useful as a mental check when assessing asset allocations.
The UX issue is directly highlighted in their rationale for the change.

Calls to alert(), confirm() and prompt() cannot be polyfilled or safely replaced in the general case because they explicitly block the main thread. That behaviour might not be desirable, but it was the path chosen when the relevant code was written. While some maintained applications will be able to switch to asynchronous alternatives, many older and unmaintained websites - the long tail of the web, will stop working.

I don't know laws in New Hampshire, but I'd be very surprised if a lawyer couldn't claim his long occupation constitutes a protectable easement. The idea that if a squatter or transient who makes use of another's property over time eventually gains some protectable rights is an old one in law.

The problem here is that the man is not represented by a lawyer, so in a purely adversarial legal system he is treated like crap and jailed rather than having a jurist examine the possible scope of his rights. There's no entitlement to a public defender in civil litigation, so that presumably extends to the contempt decision.

Pretty disgusting, frankly.
My country (Australia) has botched their rollout.

I wanted to get vaccinated, registered my "interest" to get vaccinated months ago, then waited for the invitation to book an appointment, booked my first, then second appointment.

This process took months, amid shortages in Pfizer, waiting times of more than an hour on the phone to book appointments, their online booking system simply not working during high demand.

What I'm saying is, as a person highly motivated to get vaccinated, it wasn't easy.

Our gov and officials tell us how lazy we are to not be vaccinated, but I can understand why a lot of people aren't. In some cases it is made too hard to jump through all the hoops.
It takes two seconds to decide upon which special-function key to press. Deciding among abstract symbols is a high-level cognitive function. Not only is this decision not boring, the user actually experiences amnesia! Real amnesia! The time-slice spent making the decision simply ceases to exist.

Hmm. Not to be "that vim guy", but when those navigation/search/etc become muscle memory, it's not really a high level function anymore to do things like searching.. at least in terms path decideability. The sort of amnesia they talk about here happens to me whenever I need to pull my hands away from the keyboard. Though, their study probably didn't have that many opinionated text editor nerds.

After reading the English version of the article [0] shared by others in this thread, this look like the adviser has (rightfully or not) panicked and distanced herself from the PhD student (Gerber). The adviser, in her first email, mentions «angry emails from China», but then, when the journalist contacts her, she only refers to a single email from a Chinese doctoral student from Canada.

> The writer [of the email] accuses Gerber of a «racist attack on the Chinese people.» He was referring to a specific tweet: a cartoon that Gerber had posted in response to another user's tweet. It depicted a comic character that had been altered and had stereotyped Chinese features, with yellow skin tone and slit eyes.

> The professor's first email clearly shows that she feared she would no longer be able to obtain a Chinese visa because of Gerber's tweets.

> In the early summer of 2020, Gerber decided to abandon the legal effort. He said he didn't complete the enrollment application because he couldn't find a new adviser: «There was no other professor in the same department with whom I could have finished my work. Changing topics would have meant starting from scratch again after three and a half years. That was out of the question for me.»

The article clearly sides with Gerber on the issue, but I don't think an adviser can be forced to work with a specific PhD candidate. On the other hand, I think this is an important debate:

> [...] Gerber's case demonstrates that China's aggressive foreign policy can in fact influence how academics in Switzerland publicly express themselves, and how they deal with critical comments from their students. It shows that some researchers are willing to restrict their own and others’ activities in order to avoid upsetting China.

Hi, author here. I'll try to answer here with two points.

1) race is not provided explicitly or intentionally during training, but medical practice is biased so it is reasonable to assume there is a signal in the data.

2) we know there must be a signal, since AI models learn it. The optimisation process should only discover features that correlate with the labels, but we see the ability to predict race in models trained to look for diseases like pneumonia (which do not appear different for people from different racial groups).
