Oncalls get paged first and then escalate. As they assess impact to other teams and orgs, they usually post their tickets to a shared space. Once multiple team/org impact is determined, leadership and relevant ops groups (networking, eg) get pulled in to a call. A single ticket gets designated the Master Ticket for the Event, and oncalls dump diagnostic info there. Root cause is found (hopefully), affected teams work to mitigate while RC team rushes to fix.

The largest of these calls I've seen was well into the hundreds of sw engineers, managers, network engineers, etc.
I can't think of any other platform with comparable expenses. Traditional game engines have the R&D component, but not moderation, developer services, or subsidizing games that don't succeed.

It helps that seriously marketing a Roblox game costs < $1k USD always, usually <
$200 USD. It's not easy to generate a loss, even when including production costs. That's the tradeoff.
Yeah, maybe there's no evidence that a small amount of alcohol helps in any way, but "any level of alcohol consumption can lead to loss of healthy life" is pure alarmism. Along the same lines as "any level of fat consumption can make you fatter". Technically true but also irrelevant.

> It is important not to exaggerate the risk of moderate drinking and unduly alarm responsible consumers

Ha, yeah maybe you should have thought about more before talking to the press.

This appears to be why the outage was extended, and was referenced elsewhere too. It's hard to diagnose something when part of the diagnostic tool kit is also malfunctioning.

Same with 29.59 min video recording limit on tons of cameras. https://www.borrowlenses.com/blog/video-recording-limits-in-...

"In 2006, the European Union created a law that added an import duty of 5-12% to any video camera. What determined whether a camera was a video camera? In short, the ability to record longer than 30 minutes. Thus, companies like Canon and Nikon decided to cap their video clip lengths, preventing their enthusiast and prosumer cameras from being considered video cameras."
Typically:

Yes. This was a multi-day outage and eventually the oncall does need sleep, so you need more of the team to help with it. Typically, at any reasonable team, everyone that chipped in nights get to take off equivalent days and sprint tasks are all punted.

Yes. Not just to manage risks, but also to get quick prioritization from all teams at the company. "You need legal? Ok, meet ..." "You need string translations? Ok escalated to ..." "You need financial approval? Ok, looped in ..."

Kinda. Definitely would have represented crunch time, but a very very demoralizing crunch time. Managers also try to insulate most of their teams from it, but everyone pays attention anyways. Keep in mind these typically only last an hour or 3, at most they last a few days, so there is no "core team" other than the leadership structure from your question 2. Otherwise, it is very much "people/teams helping as needed".

Faster than light travel and time travel are both fundamentally impossible in our universe and can't be achieved. I'm sure we'll learn all sorts of cool things looking for ways in. The reality is these will sadly live only in science fiction. There are plenty of things that are fundamentally impossible in our universe, faster than light travel being one of them.
There’s no way of running a controlled trial of this sort when 80% of the population have already been vaccinated. You can design better or larger observational studies though.
Super interesting. A place where ipvs or ebpf rules per-host for the discovery of services seems much more resilient than this heavy reliance on a functional consul service. The team shared a great postmortem here. I know the feeling well of testing something like a full redeploy and seeing no improvement…easy to lose hope at that point. 70+ hours of a full outage, multiple failed attempts to restore, has got to result in a few grey hairs worth of stress. Well done to all the sre, frontline, support engineers, devs, and whoever else rolled up their sleeves and got after it. The lessons learned here could only have been learned in an infra this big.
I'm 36, I weigh 190 lbs, I'm 6'1. My eyes are green. Blood pressure 120/80 (last I checked). No STDs. I drink once a week about 3 servings. I don't smoke. I don't use drugs or have a history of mental disorders. Depression runs in my family.

Meh, Red Ventures' estimated $11 billion valuation is slightly more than AA's market cap.
Yes, I should've written "supposing", I guess. But although the number is small, it is probably not zero, and thus I think the philosophical thought exercise remains interesting. The trolley problem doesn't have to be necessarily 5 vs 1; the fact remains that "we" (as a society) take the risk of killing a (small) number of people (who might not have died of the virus otherwise) in order to save another (large) number. Even if one single person ever died due to a vaccine in order to save everyone else, the problem would still remain. If someone dies of covid, it isn't "anyone's fault" so to speak, and there lies the moral problem.

"If we properly match the populations," - that's a big if though. Without any matching, vaccines appear to have negative value because older people are more likely to get vaccinated, but even controlling for age there are a variety of potential confounding variables like general health, risk-avoidance, etc.

I don't because I've usually found they fail hard at actually being curated. Generally if someone decides to make a curated source on a topic they'll actually just make an entirely new source with links to other sources as appropriate - adding the context of when specific links are helpful is valuable and seems to go against the general idea of awesome lists. I'd prefer to read a really good e-book or blog post that just includes their sources or links for further reading.

I don't think a blog post that identifies a problem someone had to solve and the resources and steps they went through to solve it (even if they don't add any real innovation about tool usage beyond their sources) is bad - but even in that format you're getting a lot more context around why some sources are awesome.
How are the questions loaded? They are relevant in making my point. In order to have debate you need information. If there's no transparency debate becomes pointless. The debate just comes from to who you trust and not real data.

ceejayoz said they're pro medical privacy but thinks that people should have to let people know if they're vaccinated. It makes no sense.

They also want people to be fired from their jobs for not taking a vaccine whose data isn't being released.

In summary I find it hypocritical to be against vaccine transparency but for mandates. It's also hypocritical to be for medical privacy but be for vaccine mandates.
Deezer has been pretty staunch in their advocacy for "User Centric Payment Systems" (https://www.deezer.com/us/ucps) where your monthly subscription gets proportionally split between the artists you stream, rather than being put into a common pool which then pays out based on global listening stats.

They can't unilaterally move to UCPS without renegotiating licensing deals with labels, but they do decent advocacy work, including publishing a personalized dashboard at https://www.deezer.com/us/ucps/me which, for me, opens with "Hi callahad, during December 2021 your Deezer subscription generated: 97% of royalties for artists I didn't stream, 3% of royalties for artists I did stream."

It's apparently working, since seeing numbers presented that starkly prevented me from switching to Spotify (and got me to post this comment...)
> But once you have an effective treatment, you no longer have a control group if you're at all ethical. You cannot keep a working treatment from people just to do more science, that is deeply and fundamentally unethical.

You could easily find millions of potential study participants who don’t want the vaccine. The study wouldn’t be double-blind, but it would be single-blind and better than what they chose to do.
Based on what I know, that's not the case.

I'd rather not. Competition in the power tool market has resulted in very impressive batteries over the last few years. Combined with the new brushless motor tech, consumers of cordless power tools are better off now than they have ever been.

If we had standardized on the old 18v-style batteries, with the stick that goes up into the tool handle, we might still be stuck with them.

Similarly, if the EU had gone through with standardizing on micro-USB plugs for smartphones several years ago, as it threatened to do, I doubt we would now have phones with USB-C which is so much better.

The fact that you poo-poo this question is telling. Preventing re-identification attacks is incredibly subtle and sometimes impossible. Removing "city and date of birth" is nowhere near sufficient.

> this raw data is already available, but under a loose NDA for commercial partners and researchers...

Yes. It's available to people who have their real identities tied to their access and can be sued into oblivion or possibly even prosecuted for wanton misuse of the data. Surely you see how this is different from throwing it on a public s3 bucket, right?
I don’t think people claiming pharma companies are going to be satisfied by data dumps. They will simply claim the data are fabricated.

There is so little correspondence between reality and claims already- I think you’re making the mistake that the discourse is in good faith. It doesn’t seem to be to me.

The difference is this: if police misuses bad laws selectively - like predominantly only against the black community - then the majority won't give a fcuk. But once "honest citizens" are targeted by excessive policing, the laws will sooner or later change.

It looks like you are trying to drift the intent and scope of the dataset disclosure.

For example, having the list of symptoms, medications and even (just an imaginary example) pulmonary X-Ray or also on the chest having an open dataset of MRI pictures with the age of the patient, history of diseases would considerably help and there is no way you can link it back unless you know the history of the patient already (but then, what's the issue; none because you already know the information).

Plus if you ask the person about it, I really don't see the problem :|

Yes in theory, there is a possibility that someone has a database somewhere of all the boobs spacing, and can determine approximate lungs size, try to guess what could be the likely owner of a lung picture, etc etc, all of that for what ?

The person who is going to benefit from it, is clearly the COVID-19 researchers, and the end-patient.
yeah you probably just realized this one case. Like how there are PhD students with imposter syndrome, and PhD students / professors who are geniuses in their field but are completely scatterbrained.

Everyone “lacks” foresight sometimes (e.g. covid). Just be aware, and understand you don’t always think ahead, and you’ll be better off than many.
I used to work at IOHK which built the Cardano blockchain in Haskell (and even a bit of Agda in there too). It's cool to work with, features like liquid haskell have ruined most languages for me, but it's a real PITA when it comes to 'normal' things like building a CRUD app. At least it was for me. Also the build times can get horrific.
In one sense, this is worse than pointless. The hydrogen was made from brown coal, so this shipment has caused more greenhouse gas emissions than any other way Japan could have imported that energy. The capture and storage part of this project is still a fantasy, and no doubt it will extend the unbroken record of failure established by all the previous attempts.

It's not doing the people of the Latrobe Valley any favors by playing along with their pretence that coal mining has a future. They might well have a future in electicity storage, but it won't involve digging things up or burning them.

On the other hand, this is an impressive achievement, and it would be fairly straightforward for Australia to generate hydrogen with no greenhouse emissions. The only question is how many governments we'll have to overthrow before we get there.

It doesn’t matter if you have one of the many copies of the Bored Ape jpeg NFTs others have made, what matters is you have an NFT provided by contract 0xaba7161a7fb69c88e16ed9f455ce62b791ee4d03 . The jpeg is irrelevant even. If you have an NFT from this contract you are in the club.
I'm not so sure that you should be so sure that there are no databases that such data can be referenced against. Regarding stripping out major identifiers, please note that OP commented that "it's not as simple as just removing the sensitive medical data because the primary or secondary analyses may be dependent on them".

And of course raw data like this could benefit patients, but keeping access to raw data limited also benefits patients. Sure, the data is readily available under a loose NDA, but it's available to people who have explicit knowledge of the requirements around handling sensitive, identifiable data. Average Joe's and Jane's do not have this knowledge, and bad actors just plain don't give a shit.
To be fair to me, I actually stopped reading when I got to the support response, and came here to post. So it's comforting that the bug reporter independently arrived at the same frustration.

Ideally: sure!

In reality: are you a software engineer? Or do you know one? Surely you (or they) have experienced how difficult it is to write code that manages even a small number of inputs? Even 10 different yes/no inputs give you 1,024 possibilities.

Now imagine writing laws to precisely cover an effectively infinite number of possibilities, many of which don't exist at the time the law is written, and expecting the laws to cover these new situations and variables with absolute certainty and unambiguity. And unlike software, you can't just push a commit to prod to fix the problems as they pop up. It's a really long process, because democracy.

It's not happening, no more than you'd be able to handle a piece of software that took some infinite and random number and variety of inputs and did something useful with them.

We should, as you say, write "quality" laws to the best of our ability but there will always been a sizable human element to the interpretation of law.
I like to contrast it with "black lives matter" by asking, if you literally succeeded, what would be the new reality. With "black lives matter" you'd be in a reality where everyone agreed that black lives matter. Which is great! With "defund the police" you'd be in a reality without any police forces. Not so great.

Locally we have an organization called "stop having kids". It's so dumb. If they succeeded literally, humanity would die out. They say it's a great slogan because it gets people talking. That's a lousy defense.
Excited to try it out. I just signed up.
Wow, that makes complete sense for something that is impacting this many people and by extension lots of money.

Thanks for the answer, I have only ever worked with such a small team that we are all on a call every day.

I can imagine it can probably get a little hectic in large group calls? On the engineering side is there a command structure? Like say the root cause was found and RC team is rushing to fix it. But another team wants to mitigate in the mean time in a slightly risky way. Would their manager make a case with leadership? Would the proposed plan just be put out for general comment as a response to that main ticket?
If the difference in definition between two categories is minor, then a minor modification is all that should be required.

Either it meets the definition of the lower taxed category or it doesn't, at time of import.

Any other way of interpreting it gets into intent and degrees modification, or worse, applying import taxes after the fact for domestic modifications.

Reverse the scenario: is an imported pc taxed at z need to be taxed at x and y if the only purpose was to get the parts and sell the cpus and graphics cards a la carte? If x and y were cheaper than z, do you think the govt would refund the difference?
I don't think it's corrupt exactly, often these details are worked out in deals between the various countries or as retaliation for other unilateral increases. We lower your rate on rice to 6% if you lower our rate on chicken; if you raise your rate on our machine parts to 25%, we'll raise our rate on your cargo vans to 25%. Etc. It's part of the negotiations, and it often has nothing to do with the specifics of the items being tarriffed.
As you get older, your ability to remember things diminishes. On top of that, you will likely get more busy as you take on more and more responsibilities. I think you haven't hit rock bottom yet to say "i don't want to fucking feel this way anymore". I think it's quite possible you're okay with forgetting things and you are probably quite tolerant of the negative consequences. Eventually you will hate your life enough to make a change. The required change isn't complex: make a plan, write it down, follow it, iterate. but what i suspect is that you lack the will to do anything about it. You need to reflect on who you really want to be. no hack is going to change your will to live differently.
The problem with signal and whatsapp's design with phone numbers is that it's used as your public facing ID. if you give over your number to someone, they put it in their address book on their phone and then Facebook finds common friends etc on their phone, and then you're all of a sudden doxed because of other peoples habits.

A lot of girls on dating apps prefer snapchat because they can just block the person and there's far smaller chance of getting stalked or harassed.

Matrix does not expose your email address or phone number to people you connect with, so you're a lot safer.
