> The evidence that she, personally, was guilty of defrauding patients directly was always reaching in my opinion.

"It was totally clear she knew her products could not do x, y and z. She facilitated and approved and enabled sales of these products that could not do x, y and z, to providers who were going to use them to perform x, y and z tests on patients, tests that they could not do."

How do you see that she didn't defraud patients?

It should be noted that we're not seeing large russian infantry formations walking around safely while the tanks and other armored vehicles are sitting ducks. Yes, tanks aren't invulnerable, but anti tank missiles are expensive, bulky, and require some advanced training. With advances in technology and western support, Ukraine is fielding more anti-tank weapons than the russians anticipated, but it still is nothing compared to the number of more traditional weapons like machine guns or mortars it could have pulled out of cold war stockpiles. The russians decided to send in mechanized units with minimal to no infantry support because 1) they needed to advance quickly since their logistics could not support a prolonged war, and 2) any russian walking through Ukraine's flat and open terrain without a few inches of armor around them is a dead man. It's Zap Brannigan logic - a Ukrainian squad can only carry a limited number of anti-tank munitions so you just need to keep sending tanks until they reach their kill count and shut down. This turned out to be a bad strategy which mostly has just resulted in lots of destroyed tanks with few strategic gains, but had they done things differently odds are there would just be a lot of dead infantrymen around those destroyed tanks.

As for unmanned tanks, these have been explored time and again but they don't really work well. Truly autonomous tanks are extremely difficult to implement compared to say UAVs because it's very difficult to navigate. Remote control relies on reliable communication which is pretty difficult to achieve, especially if your adversary is being supported by a more technologically advanced superpower. You basically need a tank crew in another armored vehicle very nearby. This armored vehicle is still vulnerable so you're risking soldiers lives and those soldiers are basically doing twice the work operating and maintaining two vehicles instead of one, plus consuming twice the fuel, without doubling the firepower.

My feeling is that all these cultural problems people complain about so often didn't really start with us. They started with our parents, or more likely with our grandparents. That's why they're so hard to fix, and so often the people calling out a problem are somewhat guilty of the problem themselves.

It's like a bunch of alcoholics admonishing the next one for drinking slightly more irresponsibly. When did people even start this? I don't think anyone can remember. We all know what needs to be done, but the vast majority of us can't do it ourselves.
Where do you think the binding happens in my example, then?
I laughed at "old-ish" but then I had to look it up. Intel introduced NGFF / M.2 in 2012 - ten years ago!

I've been tinkering with PCs for >30 years and thanks to subjective time dilation, if I'd had to guess, I would've said M.2 was no more than 5 years old...
This comment just brought me back to the League of Legends <=> Heroes of Newerth arguments. Complete with both games having server stability problems. (But obviously one is worse than the other!)

Warcraft 2 had sole-purpose obstacles you could build for this. However, most people didn't use them. Farms were more cost effective in that role and also gave you army capacity.

I always thought this was why Starcraft didn't have those: why complicate things when people can just use supply depots anyway.
I think more important than the serverless question (and btw I agree with you, I I lean towards it not being a good idea) is whether they are wearing "Vendor tinted glasses".

I tried hard to think of advice on how you may remove the glasses if that is the situation here, but in honesty it is a tricky one. It is akin to a little worldview; bubble, and those are tricky to try and actively shift in others (an attempt at a suggestion: I think perhaps it would be best to come into team discussions around this not as being on "one side" but rather as being the reasoned, dispassionate expert on all sides; the whole question).

I say this is someone who up until recently wore the glasses (in my case it was for Kubernetes) - it took me a failed project to take them off, I hope that does not happen to you.
I assume you're referring to Feynmann's remarks in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Commission_Report. The issue there was that management advertised a safety factor of 1 in 10^5 failures while the engineers thought it was more like 10^2, so numbers were fudged across the board to look reasonable. It really was a communication issue in that there was not accurate information on the riskiest parts of the launch. I guess you could argue here they are dealing with fudged time estimates. OP, like Feynmann, did his own investigation and obtained presumably accurate information. The Rogers report resulted in a new "NASA Safety Office"; OP's investigation was the perfect opportunity to launch his own team but he blew it.

>All I can say is I would rather be an infantryman than a tank operator.

You still should be tank operator rather than infantryman.

If you are in a tank people who have AT missiles can shoot at you. If you are outside the tank ANYONE can shoot and kill you.

Yes there's a lot of videos of tanks blown up. But that's because of their high propaganda value and relative ease of capturing videos (new AT have command center further away = safer)

I didn't take in much news, and now avoid it more than ever, but what little I did was wall-to-wall with projections complete with big scary peaks and steep rises in numbers. I dread to think of the state of mind of someone who watched more like the average number of TV hours (for me it is zero), and took in all of this with an uncritical mind.
Darknet markets did make it pretty easy, and often had instructions to use e.g. anycoin direct to send cash straight to your market balance to then order drugs or alien artefacts or whatever with, so you "use" BTC or XMR (and the electrum-style slim wallets made things somewhat easy). Plus there was the whole hype of cryptokitties and NFTs etc which would bring you into contact with ETH.

The number of Americans having any money invested in the stock market in any form (i.e. including 401k, mutual funds etc) peaked at 60%. I'd be surprised to see people trading/investing in crypto to be > 3%, but who knows. Annoying that they just have these broad questions. "Have you, at any time in your life, ever eaten solid food or murdered a president?"

> Let's look at Twitter's technology, shall we?

> Twitter runs on CentOS 7. This free Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) clone comes to the end of its life at the end of June next year.

> Twitter also relies on its own homebrew software. Programs such as Apache Heron for stream processing and twemproxy for cache scaling are essential for Twitter to run at scale.

> Twitter has contracts with "Google Cloud, AWS, and on-premise data centers. At this level of public spend, there are multi-year contracts in place guaranteeing certain spend levels; an awful lot of this is amortized over multiple years."

Honestly, this is like table stakes for any software company at this point. It's hard to read the fearmongering with a straight face. If their biggest internal problem truly is finding a new Linux distro to run before 2023, I'd say they're in great shape.
It’s only in book form, no?

There are tons of excellent books on mathematicians, engineers, and scientists. Just virtually no visual media.
Yeah, cold start and moderation are two problems I need to solve.

Seconded, Doom Emacs is such a huge QoL improvement over the DYI solution with a basic Emacs.

(I did use the upstream vanilla Emacs, but the pain of LSP support, etc. etc. was just too much until I tried Doom Emacs... and suddenly Emacs is usable again!)

In terms of logging within the app? Dont all developers just do?

except BaseException as exc:
print(exc)

Then you ask them to toss it at syslog server. It's running 5 year old log4j and you cry a little.

So they throw your logs at the syslog server... but someone turned on 'logging trap debugging' for all cisco devices. "Because we cant miss anything"

The disk is full because it produces 250gb of logs per hour. If we were using cloud logging it would be $50,000/month in costs.

So you end up as a lumberjack and quit IT so you can do some logging you dont hate.

I will say, if you don't have a great architect at the top level, and support from DevOps, you end up with miserable experiences like the negative stuff I see here.

Well, some of it seems to be assumptions, but I believe the negative experiences, I just think they lacked a great architect.
My understanding is that Peoplesoft worked out OK for most corporations but it went notoriously wrong in higher ed. Australia tried to roll it out over numerous universities in a huge project which went terribly wrong.

I had my own personal Peoplesoft story which was that they cut n' pasted a Javascript random number generator I wrote into their home page before Javascript had a built in RNG and so my email was embedded in a comment in their page. It's one reason why my email got spammed so much in the 1990s (later on I found out my email was the most spammed at my Uni).

Another amusing story is that David Duffield, founder of Peoplesoft, got pushed out of Peoplesoft when Oracle took it over and he founded Workday which turned out to be much more successful for higher ed institutions.
I don't think its the same.

In the article, risk was known. "It would be career limiting." The managers knew the risk was to themselves because they weren't offering up a solution.

The Challenger was different. There wasn't hard data that characterized the risk. That was the main problem; there was an absence of known risk because the operational parameters were outside the testing scope. It was more like "We don't know what the risk is, if there is one." That's a very different animal because you're dealing with uncertainty and low probability events. Those risks tend to show up in hindsight. (same with Columbia for that matter).
Who are the male CEOs who did what she did, exactly, and how do you know they're guilty?
We have a manager that says "like I said" a ton. Pretty sure almost all of them are benign. I don't know that these things are always obvious.
The original comment says "a 12 month delay isn't a solution, it's a problem."

But sometimes there is no solution other than recognizing that it will take longer.

Or at least not with the current team.

And yes, that means telling everyone involved up to and including the CEO if necessary. The only other "solution" was clearly to quit, which they did.

A $60M project with 200 people on it isn't going to be able to pivot to creating that photo-sharing app (or whatever) 12 months faster. It's unethical of the entire management team to not immediately go to the client and tell them that the project is seriously behind expectations, in fact, "career limiting move" or not.

This is why outsourcing gets such a bad name. It's frequently run by unethical scammers who are just there to milk money out of clients.
Because they think the people they're most similar to are respected old-school hackers (rms, jwz, etc.) instead of carnival hucksters like P. T. Barnum.
There are still plenty of middle men in insurance. There are Carriers, MGA's, Agency Networks/Aggregators, and Brokers.

Large insurance carriers (think Geico, etc) with enough market share (and captive agents) have the vertical integration that eliminates the middle men, but there is a whole world of insurance that most people don't realize each taking their cut.
Banks don't have cash on hand equal to assets either...
> except for the several times in the past few hundred years they have done just that?

Compared to what? The times it didn’t?
The majority of crypto exchanges failing has been due to them being hacked or assets stolen. It seems to be an ongoing problem. It's kind of inherent to crypto transfers not being reversible. In a regular stock exchange if a crook tries to transfer the assets somewhere you can freeze or reverse the transaction. Crypto not so much.

The FTX issues seem to be something else - it's a bit unclear what exactly at the moment.

I've got some assets with FTX so I'm curious. As well as holding crypto they do futures trading on it and I wouldn't be surprised if Alameda Research, their privately held prop trading fund is a counterparty to some of those and may have gone bust.
Does bike support latex/math mode?
I found the ebook Mastering Emacs, and the accompanying blog to be extremely useful, even after going through both Spacemacs and Doom Emacs. I may go back to a modal workflow in the future, but for now I'm embracing Emacs' built-in ways of doing things, with a few exceptions.

http://www.masteringemacs.org

You may balk at the $50 pricing, but it gives the most complete picture of how Emacs works than anything else.
I suffered for a couple of decades: anxiety, random panic. I was able to address them by following the following:

1. Have things to look forward to.

2. Pay attention to nutrition, health, rest, breathing, exercise.

3. Meditate. Socialize.

4. Occasionally when anxiety grows, breathe, visualize yourself performing a repetitive yet fun activity (like swimming laps, chopping vegetables.. whatever takes focus). Your heart rate will drop and things will calm down.

Sometimes when your heart is racing, it's possible you just have pent up energy and you need to crank out some pushups and squats at 3am. Such is life.
Sure it does if you use redundant storage like cloud. Of course that also has downsides, but I find encrypted cloud backups a solid solution. I personally use pass + encrypted git backups with 3 yubikeys (1 primary, 2 backup, all of them using ECC ciphers for encryption and auth).
Was just thinking about this comment
> I'm perhaps dating myself a bit, but I remember being caught off guard the first time I walked onto the dancefloor at Fabric (a famous nightclub in London). They'd put mechanical transducers under the floorboards and hooked them up to the audio feed, effectively turning the entire dancefloor into one giant subwoofer. [1]

I'm dating myself too by saying I always wanted to go to Plastic people back in those days and hear Youngsta dropping dubplates on SLs on a Funktion one system in such a tight room(s), but I had to settle for blowing out subs at 96kbps on pirate Radio (RinseFM) for many years until I finally got to seem him in the US with a Funktion One at Servante's and then the Blackbox in Denver, and a few more times at other venues on subpar sound-systems which didn't have the same effect.

Crazy stuff happened at Plastic People, so many crazy stories from residents to one-nighter bedroom DJ appearences made it sound like the holy grail of the Underground British Bass Music scene. That and I was still in my 20s, which will always add an extra glorified lens to anything.

I will definitely say something takes over at those sub-bass frequencies (20hrtz) on a proper system, it goes through your body and makes people go crazy on the dancefloor. Pinch articulated it best in my opinion [0]. I met him at a small venue in Hollywood where no one but me knew at the that hour know who he was and we had a really interesting about his label and music in general before his set along the lines of that interview around the same time, he is an incredibly smart person: he even dropped a dubplate (DS - Memory loss VIP) for me and was even kind enough to rewind as it went off!

If you're asking how the "Highlights" feature works, its using something called text fragments.

When the original text changes then the highlight is dead. Meaning you can still discuss it, but it will no longer be highlighted in the window.

CBT is backed by clinical evidence. What makes you think it's pseudo-scientific?
Lol all the people in this thread - "if you reduce scope..." "if you presented a solution...". This is a 200 person multi-million dollar project, you can't turn the ship in less than 12 months. You've already hit the iceberg, you just haven't felt it yet.

You have two choices here - keep your head down and collect your paycheck until the client cancels the project, or go out in a blaze of glory. The second choice is the right choice in our industry, where anyone with even middling skill can get a new job in a week.
The point is, assuming that gain-of-function would have a viable path at turning a bloodborne pathogen into an airborne pathogen, rather than simply making an airborne pathogen more transmissible, is disappointing in its complete misunderstanding of virology. It de-legitimizes the point they're trying to make.

Lab leak theory is more than a big "what if", it has merit to it. To try to make an analogous argument toward how ebola might become more transmissible in a similar manner ruins their credibility.
Oh that would be super nice. Thank you!

>But, then, why host westerners when you know you're not compatible with their ideas?

because they get their cake and get to eat it, too? They're making money while continuing to espouse the rhetoric they want , unabashed.

They're being paid to be a part of international society at large while continuing to spread the message that they're happy to spread; what's the problem as far as they're concerned?

If the opinion upsets then the actionable parties to protest would be the ones that facilitate such world events going to places that have ideals and ethics that are out of step with the participants, not the country or its' leaders itself.
I have grown up reading books by people of the opinion you hold, making strong, very easy to believe claims about human mind. None if that is true. All people I know who followed these teachings never really struggled in life but they have a heck of a ton to say about how others should live their life.

Honestly I only think that those who hold opinions like yours (without any factual support) are a cancer, but besides the point: Can you please provide any peer reviewed research to support your opinion?
I don't see at all how you can say calling out literally centralized companies as "not-decentralized" is no-true-scotsman. It's just an obvious fact.

> What are some large, successful defi organizations today?

In my opinion, if there is an organization behind it then it is, by definition, not decentralized. Yes, even the ones that operate fully on-chain.

STEM people will naturally succeed at this task immediately, while an average person, like a koala unable to understand a leaf is food unless it's put on a tree, can only answer the logic problem if it's phrased in terms of social rules.

The STEM people's brains tended to develop in a way that intuitively understands logic in a more abstract way, better able to understand reality, not just monkey hierarchies.

So they will be averse to politics because it's boring, frustrating, disingenuous monkey shit flinging. But they're the most qualified, because they're more likely to put truth and fairness above tribal enrichment and games.

If engineers more often made the sacrifice to waste their brainpower dive into that swamp, we'd have colonized space and solved hunger etc. by now. But I can't blame them for not wanting to deal with it.
