I am French, I was interested in the brothers when there was the controversy. Their "phd" was a translation error in their bio. To silence the controversy, they decided to actually pass a phd. Neither brother claimed to be a genius, but while they have many other activities, they passed their phd with work similar to an average student. They deserve their phd.

Their books are generally intended to popularize the scientific work of real researchers. They are well written. Their public appearances on TV are not without humor and self-mockery. They have deserved the sympathy of many french people.
I wonder what parallels we can draw between Holmes and her blood testing, with Elon and full self driving. I suppose Elon has covered his bases by saying it is still a work in progress while charging for it, but he has also been saying it will be ready in about a year or two since 2016.

I think the FSD research Tesla is doing is interesting, but man I would rather all of that money gone into a carbon fiber roof or something on my model 3 instead!
a) GET is also idempotent despite the fact that a re-request may retrieve a updated document.

b) Some developers are ignoring HTTP idempotency. Not IETF's fault for them abusing GET for deletion.
As others note, only quite wealthy countries have the capacity to actually test everyone who dies. Many countries in Africa do not have the infrastructure that tracks regular births and deaths for the census. This means we don't even have centralized excess mortality data.

In fact, South Africa is one of the few on the continent south of the Sahara that does. I've set up a plot of South Africa, Canada and UK excess mortality since the start of this: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores... Looks pretty bad. Of course, it may be different in African countries with a much lower HIV rate. The data isn't available as far as I know.

Pretty bitter. It's a matter of convention. To color it a 'deliberate attempt' is a deliberate attempt to politicize normal linguistic conventions.
> Hate to break it to you but fruit is not far removed from sugar.

Hate to break it to you, but you don’t need a lot.

Also my point is that you can incrementally improve your diet. Oatmeal and fruit is way better than most packaged cereal. If you know of something better still why not share it, so people can make another incremental improvement?
Thr problem is actually this is 100% real-world libertarianism. In the exact same way that communism always has and always will end up in the same corrupt bastardization of a communist system, libertarianism will end up the same corrupt bastardization of a libertarian system. And just like communists will insist "it doesn't count" as commission, libertarians will try to insist "it doesn't count" as libertarianism.

But they both will always reach these failed end states because they fundamentally ignore human nature. Libertarianism and Communism are opposite sides of the same coin. Naive belief systems that people idolize that ignore the nature of reality.

In an unchecked system, people with power and wealth will create a system of rules to centralize that power. And the only defense against it is to build a system with built in checks against that unfettered centralization of power.
Sometimes is easier to transmit how it should really sound using the phonetic alphabet (i.e. ˈtɔrtəs instead of tortoise), but it is a bit harder to write with normal keyboards, and you have to learn how each phoneme sound. Used a lot tophonetics.com when was trying to learn how some texts were supposed to be spoken.

My humble submission to this genre is this pipeline I wrote once, when I needed an HTTP proxy, but I couldn't use install a real one do to work limitations, and I couldn't use firewall rules because of weird limitations of the Mac OS at the time:

echo "" > /tmp/buffer; tail -f /tmp/buffer | netcat httpbin.org 80 | netcat -lp 8080 > /tmp/buffer

I call it a circular pipeline.
I wouldn't generalize Rockchip as good. You're lucky if they release one volume of their six volume reference manual, with "Confidential" plastered all over, and most peripherals completely undocumented beyond vague register names. If you're extra lucky, you'll find another leaked volume on a sketchy Chinese website. Anything else? NDA.

And what about new chips? Look up datasheets for e.g. the (now popular) RK3566. You get a 58 page document which is just a general overview plus pinout and not much else. Does fuck all for you if you actually want to write drivers and get the thing to work.

It is absurd to say it is impossible to avoid high quantities of sugar. Utterly absurd.

Oats are cheaper than any of the brand name cereals. Eggs are super cheap. Beans are super cheap. Bagged spinach and kale is super cheap. Olive oil is super cheap.

The only problem with oats is they taste like shit compared to Cap'n Crunch. People could easily eat better but they don't want to because it is far less enjoyable.

Check out Nokia, all their devices have clean Android and at least 2 but on some phones 3 or 4 years of updates.

They also produce Android One phones, but for some reason they don't mention it explicitly anymore, even though it looks the same.

I used to have the Nokia 8.1 before I switched to iPhone, it was a great device, especially for the price, got monthly updates, and reasonable quick major version updates.

I think OnePlus might also have some decent update guarantees.
I don’t think we need to put in extra “effort” to make it happen, it’s already happening - and English is becoming the default global language. Knowing English is an advantage in most jobs all over the world and it seems the percentage of English speakers in the world is increasing over time.
1. Accept that the best product is usually not the one that sells. e.g. perfect is the enemy of good enough (or a thousand other versions of that saying).

2. Find a pain point in an area you understand or have experience etc, then talk to people about if it is something worth solving for them before you ever build something. Don't build until you have multiple people say it is worth it and ask when they can have it/demo it pay for it etc.

3. Build the simple version, one that is almost embarrassing in simplicity but is reliable and not bug ridden. The simple version must solve a key pain point and then get it in one or more client(s) hands for testing and refinement.

4. Keep refining 1 thing in the product at a time. Listen to clients but do not chase features only. Chasing features is a sure way to die by a thousand cuts, be selective on features that solve the need and which a client is actually paying for or using. I've had lots of customers say we need this feature or we can't buy, then you do it and they either still don't buy or never use the feature and drop you in 3 months. Be weary of this.

5. Stop second guessing so much. We all have doubt but the reason so many young people succeed early on in getting a product out is they don't have combined experiences telling them all the stuff that shouldn't work. As we age we see all the failures of the past and can let it cloud our drive and vision, you need to actively ignore this at some level but not stupidly so. At the same time the most successful founders are usually a little older who took that youthful inquisitiveness/naiveté forward but with life lessons on how not to shoot themselves in the foot.

In Germany's German "ss" and "ß" are two different things, ß is its own letter and its transliteration is "ss" or "sz". But it really is its own thing and is not equivalent to "ss". In the past "SS" was the capitalized version of "ß", but that's not officially the case anymore, you now have a capitalized ẞ [0], even if it isn't used in practice (or if it is, really not often).

It's not the same for all versions of German though. For example in Swiss German ß is not used and is replaced by "ss".

I do not know about Austrian German but I would not be surprised if they have some specificities around the letter ß.

In short: it's complicated :)

I'm also from New England and pronounce it differently, note that the difference is outrageously slight... "debt" is ever-so slightly longer than "det"... best I can place it is that "debt" is pronounced further back in my mouth and "det" is more toothy.
> The point is there's nothing about YYYY vs yyyy telling you at a glance that there is a significant semantic difference in the result.

There's the part that the entire LDML datetime grammar works like that.

Literally the next letter in your pattern will make it clear: M is the month, and m is the minute.

Which, granted, makes "y" designating the calendar year less than ideal as you'd want to pair Y with M, rather than y with M. Even more so as the 24-hour hour is H, so your standard ISO-8601 pattern is yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ which is... a bit of a mess casing-wise.

> Imagine an API which had methods 'getYear()' and 'GET_YEAR()' where the latter returns the payroll week year, while the former returns the, you know, actual year.

A big difference is the LDML pattern-space is rather more limited, and casing is definitely an important component of it.

> Which is why your op was saying this is like having an API where year() returns a surprising number thta isn't the year.

> You know, like JavaScript does.

If you want to rag on JS's datetime API, which really is Java's, first get in line, second getYear is hardly the worst offender (that belongs to the paired glue-eaters that are getDay and getDate).
Not to defend her actions, but why do Americans particularly insist on severe, inhumane, and disproportional punishment? It would be completely unthinkable for her to get anything >15 years in Germany, likely much much less than that (let'ss ee how Wirecard goes). She didn't murder or harm anyone. She committed fraud.

As if sending her to prison for 5-10 years wouldn't be enough? Who will give her money or believe anything she does afterwards? She's done for no matter what. 65+ years is just to be cruel and enjoyment of the cruelty.

Even if it is the health sector where harm can easily be done, punishments shouldn't be based on hypotheticals.

Yes, you pronounce the "t" in often. Some regions may not, but I'd say the majority of English speakers do. Pronouncing without the "t" sounds lazy to me.
I do feel sorry for her in a way. She was riding a treadmill of expectations. Started off slowly, probably thinking "yeah, we can do this" and by the time the treadmill was moving at light speed, it was too late to get off.

But if you GET /posts/123 and then do it again, and in between, the author updated the post, you’d expect to get the latest version of the post, no? That doesn’t make it non-idempotent, because your GET requests did not change the state at all.
> I read 'idempotent' as implying that result sets don't change over time

Idempotent means the request itself doesn't change stuff, it doesn't mean something else won't.

It doesn't seem obvious to me at all. Seems like an outright retelling of history. You should do a search for the period of November 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021 on this topic.

From the way you talk, it sounds like a diet full of sugar and quick to prepare processed foods is actually the optimal one for you because your body and mind simply can’t deal with anything else.

If this is the case, then maybe it’s best to enjoy convenient foods, and enjoy ‘living’, and not worry about health consequences because that will only detract from your present enjoyment.

Language is a way of thought. Languages come with their own quirks, and just like [plant] monoculture is bad for an ecosystem, so would a single language. Since I was born in Russia and came to the US (thus becoming fluent in both languages), and especially after reading the book "Metaphors we live by" I see how language forces certain concepts on us. Having a variety of languages is a benefit, despite introducing problems.

As of now, English has become the de-facto universal language: in many countries it's the #1 most-studied foreign language in schools. I don't see a problem with having English (or another language) be everyone's 2nd language for better global communication.

> Like a lot of soft skills, we’re rarely taught how to mentor

^ This is one of the first lines in the article. If I had to guess I'd say most people here spend a relatively small amount of time learning about how to do their job vs actually doing it.

For me this is a good reminder that actively/intentionally investing a couple hours per week in learning about how to do things - technical or not - and evaluating myself will probably have a higher ROI than spending those hours doing the thing

This reminds me of some of the ideas discussed in this post [0] from a few days ago.

The only reason I mention it is that - maybe in an effort to make these articles more enticing - they seem to all bring up the fact that you may be eating some amount of wasp when eating figs. I agree with you in that I don't think anyone I know who is vegan would care at all about this; not to mention the fact that many figs we eat don't need to be/aren't pollinated by wasps at all.
Implementing a new global language is akin to a standardization process. From my experience in standardization (several years supporting SISO [0]), standardization is a very expensive and time consuming activity, even when the participants can see obvious benefits. Creating a new global language - and then adopting it - would have a massive opportunity cost - that could be better spent in trying to deal with higher priority problems such as global heating.

She's ruined anyway, doesn't mean she should get life in prison but I know Americans tend to thrive on cruelty.
Of course she's guilty and should get a long prison sentence.

But is it realistic to assume founders will self-police given the pressures? Or should we expect investors to look at these BIG WARNING SIGNS and do more due diligence??? Seriously, having no subject matter experts on the board etc is ridiculous and all the valley insiders knew it. One call to her thesis advisor is all the due diligence they needed to do.

Put another way, is the next Elizabeth Holmes going to be deterred by her prison sentence? Was she deterred by Bernie Madoff or 100s of others?

Again obviously they just wanted to nail her on something and didn't have enough evidence for the reason crime, which was lying to end users about their healthcare.

And obviously it's illegal and bad and wrong to lie to investors duh.

I'm just saying that perhaps we shouldn't use self-policing or the courts to solve the startup-investor-fraud problem because they're (a) ineffective, (b) we have other & better ways to solve this, (c) solution b leads to the more efficient market and therefore the greater innovation and therefore wins.
