For a start Spark doesn't support AVX2/AVX512.

JVM I believe still hasn't finalised the Vector type and then Spark would need to be updated to take advantage of it.
No. When there is a claim the insurance company will look for every reason not to cover and stick the insured with the defense and judgement bills. If the insured fails to meet the carrier's requirements they are screwed.
Basically all of what you said is empty populist propaganda that doesn't pass a basic sniff test. You're painting the EU as the bad guy with a broad brush and it's just total nonsense.

* depends on how you define "high" levels of migration, but few EU countries fit that. Portugal does, because they explicitly encourage it. Why? Nothing to do with the EU, they're trying to fight negative population growth.

* social programs aren't an EU thing, they're purely local. And the "too much social spending makes people not want to work" ia such bullshit.

* there are more local regulations than EU regulations. Which ones specifically are you referring to as too much?

* farming is explicitly subsidised to make it profitable. What are you talking about?

* not everyone can move between EU countries, you need to be a citizen. Like the Portuguese that have moved all around (e.g. there are probably millions of people of Portuguese descent in France)

It's annoying how popular empty nationalistic populists have gotten. Can't nobody bother to fact check their bullshit?
> A relational database without relations is an oxymoron.

OK. You're the only one talking to this straw man though. :-) Every Vitess user that I'm aware of has a pretty typical 2NF/3NF schema design. A small sampling of them being listed here: https://vitess.io

You setup your data distribution/partitioning/sharding scheme so that you have data locality for 99.9999+% of your queries -- meaning that the query executes against a data subset that lives on a single shard/node (e.g. sharding by customer_id) -- and you live with the performance hit and consistency tradeoffs for those very rare cases that cross shard queries cannot be avoided (Vitess does support this). You should do this even if the solution you're using claims to have distributed SQL with ACID and MVCC guarantees/properties. There's no magic that improves the speed of light and removes other resource constraints. In practice most people say they want perfect security/consistency/<name your desired property here> but then realize that the costs (perf, resources, $$, etc) are simply so high that it is not practical for their business/use case.

I know MySQL fairly well (I started working at MySQL, AB in 2003) and you can certainly claim that "MySQL-compatible" is dishonest but I would offer a counter claim that either you don't know this space very well or you're not operating in good faith here.

While it is a burden, the point is that software needs to be audited before it is installed and that is an even bigger burden on the company. If it isn't essential to the business, it simply isn't going to be considered, At least that is the way in many of the non-IT companies I have worked for which handle massive amounts of data on other people. In this regard, Twitter's attitude is distressing. We may think of them as an IT company, but their actual business involves handling massive amounts of data on other people. While confidentiality of that information may not be the biggest concern, since much of it is intended to be published, the authenticity of that information is.

Given the first polynomial, when asked to solve it, there's an implied "for x" attached to the question. Even in higher level math you assume you're solving for a variable. When writing an equation without a solution, you don't naturally think about not including any variables. While 0 = 1 is an equation, it's not an equation you "solve". The meaning of equation is not in question, just the association of the terminology of equation to something without variables. Context is important, if the expression had a third order term and I had to use synthetic division, I would absolutely write include the zero terms.

>The top 10% of men in the dating pool end up dating 80% of the women. Most men have no dating or sexual prospects at all - it's very binary.

I've heard these numbers passed around but does anyone have a source for this? I ask in part because my own life experiences and observations match well with your first sentence - a person who works on themselves, IE: has hobbies and activities, has a viable career, etc - will be attractive to someone out there in the world. There is a body size and shape that will appeal to everyone, education and career are negligible as long as you are doing "something" with your life, etc.
Bad idea, I can think of tons of problems off the top of my head: Who defines "best security practices"? How nimble could that process be to new technologies, new businesses ideas, new threats? Would it be too costly for startups to implement on launch? How could giant complex systems of big tech possibly be audited externally? I could go on.

Stripe is great for payments, but they don’t make usage data super useful for data purposes — their primary use case is payments.

If you want access to your data for other business purposes - stakeholder data, embedded dashboards, alerts and notifications about usage, etc - then you’ll want a system more purpose-built for usage data than Stripe.

Check out https://kable.io. Kable is purpose built as a data and billing solution, where your data is available for purposes ancillary to payments.

[Disclaimer: I am a Kable founder, but what you’re describing is precisely what we’re built for. If you’d like to chat, either about Kable or about your design in general to build this in-house, I’d be happy to.]
Presumably, they are people with at least a modicum of understanding of security.

Enabling auto-updates (or, better, controlled pushes of updates via your IT folks) is absolute bare-bones minimum-you-can-do security.

Otherwise, those laptops are all collections of well-known security holes.

Carpooling works! but it is just one variable in the commute equation. Take my current route[1] in Southern CA where I just happen to have a co-worker live close to me. We drive together in her car for about 30 miles to work which starts with 20 minutes driving congested surface streets just to get on the freeway. We then need to transverse multiple lanes and freeways to get in the carpool lane which is also congested. About an hour later of stop and go traffic, we arrive at work. Due to different work and personal schedules, we may not leave work at the same time so she will leave with her car and I will take a lyft back home. That costs me $40 to $60 one-way and still involves waiting for the driver. Of course it doesn't help the freeways are under construction[2] but when completed, I'm hopeful things will improve.

Dealing with a dealership is all about psychology. They are playing a psychological mind game with you when they make you wait for so long while they're in the back doing "paperwork". They want you to get antsy so you make bad decisions.

The trick to making this interaction go your way is to not play their game. If they seat you at a table and make you wait, just get up and walk away. Go start looking at another car. This will freak them the F out. My last interaction with a car dealer was hilarious. When I started playing mind games with them (walking away while they made me wait, fake-scrolling through ads on my phone, wondering out loud about the dealer across the street) they literally bent over backwards. They lowered the price on the car I wanted significantly. They offered me more than KBB trade-in value for my old car. They even offered to buy my wife and I lunch because we acted like we were going to go think it over while we ate.

It's all mind games. Don't play theirs. The dealerships tactics are not very effective if you take control. They just get a lot of practice and they know that new-car-smell is addictive.
I've worked at places like this (where you don't have admin access). Generally they don't mind you installing stuff that's legit or makes you more productive.

They just don't want you granting admin permissions to an email that you inadvertently clicked a strange links on, or some virus laden craking tools, you shouldn't be running.

It's understandable, but super annoying. Yeah, it'll probably question my long term view of the company.
Yup, last time, I just started looking for a particular few cars, got by parameters down (desired trim levels, cost limits, etc.) and emailed requesting quotes. Most wouldn't play, but I found one who was just "yup, this is what we've got, this is how we can configure it... cost is $xyz". After a few rounds of email, maybe a couple tel calls, I had a deal, went there for the first time to pick it up. When my wife needed a new car in the next year or two, guess who we called first? Same no-hassle deal.

It's a bit of a drive to get there in the adjacent state, but totally worth it.

Edit: Also, we made deals for vehicles they had in stock, not custom-configured from mfgr.
The key is finding things that they CAN do that you're pretty certain won't hurt them too much if they somehow fail.

Because otherwise they're going to silently sit and watch and wait, and then one night grab the car keys and put the car in neutral and roll down the driveway into the neighbor's yard.

At least so I've heard.
Doesn't seem so pertinent, given that Chinese life expectancy in China was much lower to the US for decades (see the 1960s-today plot in the article). It's this between-country comparison that the story is about.

I don't worry at all about kidnappings.

What I worry about is CPS and police officers claiming child endangerment. In my state you can be charged with child endangerment just for leaving the kid strapped into the seat on a moderate day while you walk in to pay the gas station attendant. You could potentially be arrested and charged for letting a 7 year old play alone at the park for a bit.

The kidnappers are real. But they're the CPS and police, and they can't wait to put your kids into a brutal kids-for-cash foster care system. They draw their salary under the guise of "safety" while victimizing children and sapping their independence. And busybodies everywhere have a device at the ready in their pocket, that allows them to invite months of scrutiny into your life based on 30 seconds of effort on their own part, after which the law prevents you from finding their identity or facing your accuser.
I think the challenge here is figuring out how regulators and insurers can tell the difference between best practices and things like security theater or former best practices that are now obsolete but are written into regulations or standards.

Right now there are only ~250 car models available in the US. Each one gets incredible amounts of attention from all sorts of people, both before and after launch. And cars are pretty stable technology. But there's a ton of software out there: 1.8 million entries in Apple's App Store alone. And our tools and technologies are still evolving at a rapid clip. Having to explain each new library to an insurance company functionary sounds like a major brake on innovation to me.
And what do you do for more complex, stateful apps? I don't think it's fair to dismiss this problem as "just use HTML and CSS and a sprinkling of vanilla JS". What happens when you need to build anything more complex than a basic form? A dashboard, or web map, or Figma, or Slack, or Gmail, or Gsheets... everything from state to AJAX (and other async) to persistence to URL routing, etc. becomes insanely complex.

I feel like "don't use tooling/frameworks" is the web dev version of "you don't need Java or .NET or WPF or WinForms, just use assembly and gfx drivers and draw pixels on the screen". HTML and ECMAscript evolve very slowly relative to the needs of software businesses, and it would take 30x (if not 300x) as long to write complex apps in those alone. Having a "build and bundle" step is just the webdev version of compiling developer-friendly code (React and frameworks) into the "lowest common denominator" code of browser-parseable HTML + JS.

It's not about "cleverness", but being able to do your job in a reasonable amount of time and effort, vs going back to a 90s-style internet where every page is basically a dumb terminal and all the actual interactivity has to happen on the backend.

I think is a better option is to know your target audience, their expected device and connection speed (metro desktop? rural mobile?) and not to worry about over-optimization. Nobody cares if your website loads in a second if it's so hard to use that it takes THEM more time to do what they need. Better to take 5 seconds to load, and then be actually usable as an app.

FWIW I don't think web apps are getting slower because developers are getting worse, but because the newer frameworks are enabling new use cases that weren't before possible. Photo editing? You used to have to download and install Photoshop, which can take minutes or days depending on your network and connection. Now you can run Photopea in a browser window in a few seconds and do most of the same things.

As for core web vitals? It's not a bad thing to use a performance arms race to get websites to be faster. It forces frameworks to evolve their delivery, caching, loading, hydration mechanisms. But that doesn't have to mean "give up on frameworks and complex apps". It can also just mean keep up with their latest performance improvements, and/or hope that ECMAscript evolves faster, that things like Web Components or PWAs etc. become more commonplace.
In the UK there is Carwow. You may not like the prices you get these days, but it's a market, and at least it's a take-it-or-leave-it price.
Ahh, what's old is new again. The insights she talks about were actually a common experience in the 1990s.

I started my career in the early 90s as a Lotus Notes developer. People have a deep hatred for it because of its email integration, but ignore that bit. The underlying technology was amazing and the ability of power users to create incredibly useful forms apps really has never been replicated since the web and cloud took over intranets.

Here's how it would work: A big corporation like BellSouth or Coca-cola would drop Notes into various groups because of some corporate-wide apps they wanted them to use. Then an intern or a geeky office worker would start tinkering - or maybe even had gone to an on-site training seminar - and begin whipping up little databases to keep track of this and that for their team. These would inevitably end up being essential tools for running the business. The consulting company I worked for would get called in to help as the group reached their technical limits, but it was amazing to see how far they had progressed without a single developer. That was such a fun job because you'd come in and solve niggling issues which the group had just been living with for months or years. They'd think you were a genius for simply knowing about an @function that had eluded them. After you wrote some script to export the data into reports or spreadsheets that used to take hours to be done by hand? You were considered a god. I've never felt so appreciated as a developer as I did in those days.

Access, FoxPro, dBase and other forms-based databases like this had similar effects, but the network-oriented, bottom-up Notes apps were the ones that were incredibly useful instantly and as a result, would spread like viruses throughout companies. (Systems admins generally despised the lack of centralized control, and fighting with them to give access and turn on functionality was a regular part of the job.)

To my knowledge, this has never really been duplicated - though many apps and services have attempted it - simply because of the limitations of web-based interfaces. Now that reactive web apps have finally enabled full on, no compromise GUIs, the time for forms apps might come again.
Dumb question I'm throwing out there. What "sensitive" information do users keep on Twitter beyond their email and phone number? I mean who really cares? Unless I missed something here...
