Maybe it would pay to be more specific, since "MVC" can mean a lot of things. We have requests come into handlers, which map between wire and internal representations. They invoke controllers, which implement the business logic and call gateways and repositories. Repositories wrap storage clients and gateways wrap HTTP or gRPC clients.

Do you not do this? What do you do instead? I guess I can see how testing would be less painful with fewer layers, but at the cost of the production code becoming more entangled.
Just pointing out that there are long term trends in both directions, and no one knows which, if any, will dominate.
Falsifiability is feasible to some degree -- e.g. in history you can hypothesize that a civilization had copper and then look for evidence of copper artifacts.

But in the physical sciences you have well-formed mathematical models that make very specific and precise predictions and can be tested to a high degree of accuracy. That specificity allows you to set threshholds like 5 sigma for acceptance of a result as being verified.

"Did we find copper" is a bit different, and thus there is a fuzziness in history that you don't have in physics or chemistry, which is why we don't view history as being a science even though it benefits from use of the scientific method. Everything -- cooking, dating, gardening -- can make use of the scientific method, but at issue here is the trust that the public places in accepted findings of science and such trust is not justified in the fuzzier fields. People need to add big error bars in their heads when listening to results from social sciences and much smaller error bars when listening to results from physics.
First three, no, but why couldn't a robot refill a prescription or at least automatically handle the scheduling for that?

And the goal isn't to automate that stuff, but rather automate everything else to free up expensive human hours for this work. So instead of spreading humans thin between cleaning toilets, cleaning floors, doing laundry, and putting in IVs, get the cleaning and laundry off the plate of the human.
I'd mostly concur, but had to think of at least two movies which stuck, and weren't that scripted conforming to mainstream rules, no B-Movies either.

another I Origins from 2014

The research on this is pretty clear: Exposure is important for treatment—but it has to be exposure in a safe setting, where the patient has both consented and prepared for it, and knows they can stop it at any time.

Most public settings—such as a classroom—where a trigger warning might be relevant do not meet these criteria.

It is a documented fact that medical authorities in the United States lied to the American people to manipulate their COVID-related behavior.

Specifically, Dr. Fauci discouraged people from wearing masks, not because there was a shortage and they needed to be saved for front-line medical workers (the real reason), but because - he claimed at the time - they were not particularly effective.

"When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often there are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face."

At this point, it is dishonest to characterize Americans' distrust of medical authority as pathological. The distrust is well and truly deserved.
My office, pre-pandemic, was situated between the local firehouse and a senior citizen's home. It was very convenient I guess, to watch a fire truck drive across the street to handle an emergency call.
But aside from that, in physics... We treat things like, say, all electrons as being identical. However in economics the constituent actors are not identical. Worse than that, ideas in the population can start with very few proponents and chaotically spread to very many or completely die out... On terms very difficult to measure or predict and not according to any rational basis. Treating economics as a science, much like any other social science, should be looked upon much the same as treating astrology as a science: very doubiously. No matter how sophisticated the jargon or contrived the theory, it's often no better than guessing.
> Each word in this design is a little bloom filter.

It's effectively a hash table of bloom filters.

> So, you either have to keep track of elements assigned to words (3 bits / word to count 0..4), or you compute a probable value to minimize overloaded array elements

One option would be to just directly limit the number of marked bits in each bucket, which seems to correlate better to false positive rate than number of elements per se. (Eg a element with all k indexes equal (marking only one bit) causes less false positives than one with k distinct indexes.) You get 6bits * 4elements = 24bits marked, so just call a bin full if it has popcount >= 24.

Sounds like we should tax senior homes to fund increased staff for fire departments, basically de-privatizing senior homes...
In all my time living in Louisiana, the only time I saw a fire truck near a home was when the house was actually on fire or under threat of fire.

In Texas? EVERY SINGLE TIME I see an ambulance, I see a fire truck. It makes ZERO sense most of the time. Texas municipalities are using medical emergencies to fund their fire departments (and jack up insurance rates in the process) by sending fire trucks to people even when they're suffering from chronic conditions.
Internet Dependency on Our Children And Us: Good or Bad?: https://www.hackerslist.co/internet-dependency-on-our-childr...
Between this link and the OP, we're seeing the first improvements to drop from Mark Shannon's Microsoft-funded full-time work on CPython optimization, alongside Eric Snow and Guido van Rossum:

https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/19/faster_python_mark_sh...

https://github.com/markshannon/faster-cpython/blob/master/pl... - indicates that this is step 2 of 4, where the forthcoming steps actually plan to introduce JIT compilation!

From the OP Changelog:

- bpo-44590: All necessary data for executing a Python function (local variables, stack, etc) is now kept in a per-thread stack. Frame objects are lazily allocated on demand. This increases performance by about 7% on the standard benchmark suite. Introspection and debugging are unaffected as frame objects are always available when needed. Patch by Mark Shannon.

And from the What's New:

- “Zero-cost” exceptions are implemented. The cost of try statements is almost eliminated when no exception is raised. (Contributed by Mark Shannon in bpo-40222.)

- Method calls with keywords are now faster due to bytecode changes which avoid creating bound method instances. Previously, this optimization was applied only to method calls with purely positional arguments. (Contributed by Ken Jin and Mark Shannon in bpo-26110, based on ideas implemented in PyPy.)

Really, really exciting beginnings. I can't wait to see what's next!
I use the Anaconda distribution. I can create environments containing any version of Python, like this:

conda create -n myEnv python=2.7
conda activate myEnv

I think the problem is that unless someone already knew Python, they probably wouldn't understand environments, so their first thought would be to somehow install another version of Python and replace the system Python, or to use a switcher to switch between versions. That would be my first intuition too. (and I believe that's how Ruby works, via RVM).

But Python works just a little bit differently in that it advocates for the use of its own environments to isolate dependencies. I'll have to admit it is not super intuitive (I already have a system package manager (apt, brew, etc.) and I have Docker containers -- why do I need another yet another environment?) but over time I've just accepted it for what it is. It's a Python convention.
OBD allows only for reading standarized parameters and errors, manufacturer protocol is required for everything else (more parameters, changing settings, etc.). You can use J2534 universal interface, which I think manufacturers are required by law to support, but you still have to pay for their software.

No, it’s not a startup industry. Nursing homes cannot be humane and generate the profits needed to be startups.

> It's a completely opaque system, 0% privacy should be assumed by default.

I really dislike this framing and I could not disagree more. Android is open source does that mean it is also zero percent privacy? What about the Anom phone in recent news? If all three are zero percent privacy then would they not be equally private? iPhone is more private than Android as there's much less data exfiltration and the Anom phone is clearly less private than both. I love open source, but saying any closed source system is zero percent private is not helpful.

I had an experience with Frances in 2018 while at a company prior to her joining Facebook. She was somewhat unprofessional with me by abruptly cancelling a meeting without a very good excuse or much followup. I believe the CTO had asked her to take a meeting with me but she mostly disregarded that request.

I don't see much that is substantial coming out of this. She's brought hell upon herself while playing in a mostly liberal reform narrative. She significantly violated her NDA and probably violated some trade secret theft laws.

The company we both worked at was probably engaged in some forms of reverse discrimination.

Personally when I interviewed for the Fake News ML team at Facebook they had me interview with a guy who had a thick Russian accent. Anyone who works in big tech has experienced a litany of dysfunction. We also know what a self-promoting egoist looks like :)

This is just a media headline as meaningless as the congressional hearings that have been going on since 2017.

In my opinion and life choices, the difference between a bad actor and a bystander is often that they see the brokenness of their surroundings but they persist in rationalizing what's wrong with it rather than walking away. Becoming a whistleblower is just a masochistic way to walk away or it is a play for self-gain. The whole machine of Silicon Valley has stunk for almost a decade.

I suspect Frances sees something to gain with this, and unlike James Damore the same media machine Frances points the finger at will view her favorably on the mere basis that she is a "she".

So goes the crusade to right wrongs with double standards...
Lots of Nintendo Switch charger/dock anecdotes revealing issues here.
Senior homes and assisted living centers are a national disgrace. They are entirely about profit maximization (what business isn’t?), and as such hire people at the exact minimum and have well over 100% yearly turnover. The staff commonly steal from residents, and the management do not care. They’d rather retain a larcenous pig who barely executes her duties than have to go back and scrape the barrel for a replacement.

The residents are often lonely, in awful health, overlooked by their families, and spend all day watching television. Many of them are verbally abusive towards the staff.

Elderly people should live with their families. The ones with no families to care for them should be in nonprofit, closely regulated facilities with well-paid staff. And it’s time to stop spending $500K on medical care just so an 88 year old can make it to 89. Whoever spread that “death panels” meme should be forced to write America a check for five hundred billion dollars.

It might be a good idea for companies to be up front about their significant moral choices.

Then regardless of disgruntled employees, they can defend and discuss their behavior and any mistakes with a majority of consistent internal and external communications.

And maybe avoid doing most really bad things.

This consistency of purpose and avoidance of causing surreptitious harm is called “integrity”.

Enterprise, Budget, Ryder and Penske already compete with U-Haul nationally. After that there are hundreds of regional and local competitors, including more specialized offerings.

A lot of people do stay in their homes. There is a significant niche industry of building contractors and suppliers for retrofitting homes.

Remote patient monitoring and smart healthcare devices can help a little, and there are many startups in that space.

Things Go needs more than generics
This is 100% true. Firefighters were preposterously lionized after 9/11, and in that insane fanfare we gave them everything they could think to ask for. The ones in my city make more, on average, than a mid-career software engineer and rarely work at all.

And, many firefighters’s unions have made certain that they are the first responder for medical calls - as a way of keeping their staffing levels high. Sounds like that particular scam is coming back to bite them in Oregon.
If you have a full time fire department, it makes sense to have them working with EMS rather than just waiting for a fire.

If you have a volunteer fire department or part-time fire department, you will call them out only for fires. I would expect in smaller towns that fire departments would not be regularly doing EMS legwork but would focus on fires. But I have no idea if this hypothesis is relevant to your situation. It could also be that the same station has a fire truck and ambulance, and the fireman jump into the ambulance for an EMS call and only use the firetruck for fires.
This isn't a case of a standard coming along to a crowded market. Rather, this is the opposite scenario. USB-C won and now they have to deal with the fallout of unifying all the things past, present, and future.
> maneuvers are in the terminal phase

One, this leaves the missile, which is screaming through the atmosphere, vulnerable in a way ballistics are not. (And visible in a way cruise missiles aren’t, either.) Two, if you have a carrier strike group in the middle of the ocean, this strongly restricts how much manoeuvring can be done. The target knows where you’re ultimately headed—if you tactfully manoeuvre into a blank patch of ocean, the strike group is fine.

> flight envelope we know from the X-15 that not that much is required to pull 10Gs at hypersonic speeds

The flight envelope restriction isn’t a structural one. If you have a known target, there is only so much manoeuvring the vehicle can aerodynamically do without slowing down to sub-scram speeds. Yes, you could supercharge the engine, but that cascades through another host of factors.
> Every week you get a new playlist that has new releases that they think you will like based on previous listening history

That's not what Discover Weekly is. Discover weekly contains a diverse selection of music from any time period which you might like and refreshes itself with a new set of songs every week, which would generally be higher quality and more interesting since there is far more material to choose from.

Spotify also has "Release radar" for personalized new music suggestions.
No but what Facebook is doing is harmful, and what she is doing is embarrassing to the company and to those who work for them.

For all I know, what she did is illegal. But I'm glad she did it, it was very brave and she puts herself at a lot of risk by doing it. If Facebook goes after her, they will undoubtedly get bad press and encourage government regulation and possibly even antitrust action.

Facebook and other social media aren't inherently bad, but the incentives are certainly there for them to amplify the worst of human nature. This is most likely a problem that needs people outside of Facebook (and all these other companies) to solve. I am 100% in agreement with her that it is a solvable problem.
There is a reason for this.

In most municipalities, there aren’t nearly enough fires to keep a fire department busy.

So fire departments also are often first responders for medical incidents.
