I don't really get your second paragraph. If you can afford to help strangers, then you can afford to help your friends. What point are you trying to make? I'm not sure.

And why do you help your family and friends? Why not focus on yourself only?

My point is, why did you draw the line exactly at friends and family? You don't owe anything to the rest of society, nor the rest of society owe anything to you? Why do you owe anything to your friends and family?

6 Tips For Getting Into The Zone Faster
Well, if the social login prevents him from signing up, he obviously can't even try the product. So how could he have any comments about the product itself, whether positive or negative?

Here's a less blunt version of @sixQuarks's complaint, which I think is completely valid:

Poetica has unnecessary friction in the signup process, and the very existence of this friction implies that the founders might not have thought long & hard about what kind of users they want to attract. IMO, people who write a lot and use Markdown to do so are more likely than the general public to be concerned about the privacy implications of social login and therefore wish to avoid it. Poetica also seems like the kind of product that could benefit from a quick online demo right on the landing page, but the founders chose to require signup first. Both of these factors are surely detrimental to their conversion rate.
Yep. Sounds like it should be easy to prove having a plan and the overt act towards the plan.

Incidentally, this is why you should always get a lawyer before talking to the cops.
I work on the Web team at Belly, and we just transitioned our blog and most of our website content over to be powered by prismic.io. It's been a wonderful experience so far - prismic is a great tool, and the team over there has been super helpful.

Prismic uses an idea of "releases". Essentially a writer can create content and then submit it for a release. An editor then has to approve the content (ot leave comments/edits) before it actually gets published. This has been a really great workflow for us so far.

I should be putting a blog post on tech.bellycard.com explaining everything in detail by the end of the week.

In molecular biology 'model' usually refers to a model biological system - an organism or experimental setup that can exhibit the phenomenon under study but is easier to manipulate genetically than the ultimate system of study.

In this case they used mice that suffer from leukaemia as the initial model, then moved to working in cultured human cells.

With regards to #1: What happens is that if task_B depends on a value that task_A returns, task_A will insert its value into the queue and task_B will consume it.

If task_C returns a value which no other task cares about, it will insert the value into the queue, and never gets consumed. This is why dead queues (also known as "tombstones") happen.

Always remember to set ignore_result=True for tasks which don't return any consumed value.

EDIT: "Tombstones", not gravestones

how do you see that those chicken are healthy?

I ask honestly because my first thought at the picture was that, If anything, it shows that the chickens have bad plumage[0] and are mostly sitting down[1].

For [1] my guess is either the animals pick on each other too much, or they are actually chicks that have grown in size faster than they should.
For [2] it may mean that they have weak bones/muscles (due to bad feeding, inflated growth and no movement) and that they are actually laying in their own filth.

It may still be better than cages, of course.
I think the biggest difference is the scalability built-in. It has a beautiful Web admin and CLI admin that ease the scailability works including sharding and adding a node to the cluster.

PostgreSQL also has built-in streaming replication, which is useful and works nicely. But the scenario it covers is scaling reads, not writes. To scale writes, you should shard the data manually.

There are efforts to bring write scalability to PostgreSQL. One of them I'm keeping my eyes on recently is Postgres-XL, which uses statement-based replication that focus on writability and availability. It is a premature product that started recently, though. And also, some easy-to-administer features like automatic failover and configuration propagation (adding/removing nodes) are not the objective of the project. You should adopt another solution, or write it manually.

However, instead of getting the scalability, you lose ACID in RethinkDB - whose impact can be huge on some use cases. But personally I think it is worth losing to gain scalability easily. And there is two-phase commit which is at least doable to imitate transactions, though it isn't elegant at all.

If your application is read-intensive, I think staring with PostgreSQL and adopting Postgres-XL or pgpool later is a good strategy. But if you are to shard the data to scale writes, or you want an all-on-one solution that helps the administrative works a lot, I think RethinkDB is highly recommended.
Redis works great as a results backend, but I'd still use RabbitMQ for the queue. RabbitMQ is designed to be a message queue, and it does a great job at it.

In many projects Celery is overkill. Common scenario I saw:

2. Now we have one more problem.

I've been looking at Python tasks queues recently. Does anyone have experience on how Celery and rq stack up?

Rq is a lot smaller, more than 10x by line count. So if it works just as well, I'd go with the simpler implementation.
Often they can't be passed on due to competition so the businesses employ less people instead.
It's somewhat akin to a Django vs. Flask discussion really. But yes for more light weight stuff I too would recommend rq.
It has to do with small amounts of leakage current on the device level. If you just use 1 type of transistor (p or n -type) then when you change from on/off or off/on you will lose more current than if you use both types in your circuit. Sum this across billions of transistors and the equation starts to make sense.

Having worked in the field of protein recruitment simulations, I can confirm this. We need to know a lot more before we can actually build a simulation of the entire protein dynamics in a cell (which is what would be needed to make any sort of reliable sim-model-only predictions).

Computer simulations _do_ help in guiding the research by showing gaps in the theoretical understanding and identifying candidate proteins/genes for further experimental investigation, but no researcher in their right mind would take some finding from a current cell-biological computer simulation and publically declare "We've identified the cause for cancer X".
Here's a specific example from last week. Last week, Google royally f'd up the release of the new Login Challenges interstitial, which wasn't supposed to be presented to SSO domains but was. This caused much consternation, especially since because this was primarily a consumer-focused feature, there was no advance notice given to Apps domain admins.

This ties into the second big problem re: Apps administration and Google's product roadmap / release process: there is almost no correlation between feature requests Apps admins make and their mapping onto a product roadmap. Additionally, for features or new services that are kept secret as a business strategy, even Apps admins don't get any advance notice. The first we see them is when they are released to production. It is entirely unclear what the relationship is between Bill Hippenmeyer's team, the actual PM & Apps product engineering teams, and the Google Enterprise Connect team, and by all outward appearances there is almost no strong link whatsoever.

So, regardless of how Google handles things on the consumer side, those behaviors adversely affect paying customers ... and when you are paying millions of dollars per year (as an alternative to paying Microsoft or IBM millions of dollars per year) that's a big turn off. Google is far more opaque re: roadmap than traditional vendors.

(I'm not bashing all things Google, just this one thing. I'm still a huge fan. :) )
> Well, it's often said around here that we should consider Google to be in the ad business, right ? Then following that logic Google is actually advertising illegal stuff by providing links to Morgan Jack's website on Google's own site.

Google is in the ad business in the same way a newspaper or a magazine is: Selling ads is the major source of income. Every time someone says that Google is an ad business, for calibration remind yourself that so is the New York Times.

Anyway, Google linking (in the regular results section, not ads) to the website of a given business is similar to a newspaper or magazine stating in editorial content that a certain business exists and what its address is. That is obviously not "selling ads" in any way, shape or form.
The replies on this thread make me sad.

I've been homeless, sleeping rough under bushes and on building sites. I was homeless for over 2 years when I was much younger.

I begged on a few occasions, perhaps 3-4 days in total. The rest of the time I attempted to earn money however I could (minus the dodgy offers I received to give blow jobs for toast and butter and other sexual services).

When I begged I did it because I really needed to, I had nothing else.

I did it because I was that hungry that I could no longer offer to knock down walls for £5 if someone could just lend me a sledghammer. I was too weak, or I was ill and unable to.

When I begged, those very few times, those people who gave me money were my saviours. I sometimes reflect that I shouldn't have made it off the streets, the odds were against me. I should be dead, never known enough to be forgotten.

Can you tell a person in need from one on the take?

Do you think it's race, or gender that defines that?

Do you think it's age?

Do you think that a person who appears more run-down has a more urgent need than someone who washed recently?

Do you think the urgency of need can be told from how they smell?

I can guarantee that you'll get it wrong some of the time.

I give today, without question. I know some are on the take, that most are not in that level of need. But I'm not going to walk past the person that is in that level of need and I know I can't tell the difference either.

I'm also not going to dictate that I'll buy some shitty fast food meal. I was ill so much on the streets. It's hard to be healthy when you're cold, damp, and frankly eating food that makes it hard to stay healthy at all. And sometimes I would skip meals, I'd feel hungrier if I ate... it stretched the stomach, created a bigger emptiness inside. Sometimes when I had money I needed to ration it on food I could digest over a long period of time... buying me a sandwich wouldn't have helped me greatly, it satisfies your need not mine.

This may be different in San Francisco (I've seen that you have a hell of a problem there)... my experience is in the UK where you may only pass a person begging every few days at most.

But seriously... that few quid in your pocket, it's not going to make a difference to your life, you'll still be at whatever your wealth level tomorrow. But it could really make a difference to the person you give it to.

Thanks for that link - I was looking for it to reply to this trail.

I completely agree with others' points about being non-judgmental. However, the point I see is to _help_, and (statistically) that doesn't mean giving money directly.

This line `'my_taskA': {'queue': 'for_task_A', 'routing_key': 'for_task_B'},` "for_task_B" should be "for_task_A" to match the CELERY_QUEUES definition. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're doing, of course.
No doubt, but I don't think it would be appropriate to stick the knife in even further. The case was a complete victory and we ended up drafting the settlement agreement one sided. There is nothing to gain by further destroying the reputation of the other side. Live & let live. I'm fairly sure they learned their lesson ;)

Personally, it's my policy to give money to anyone who asks unless they are drunk. I know that a lot of beggars are simply trying to take advantage of people like me, but on the other hand there is a lot of people who really need help. I'm not in a position to sort them out, and I'm most certainly not going to judge them. If I'm better off then they are, why not give a few $?

One more thing. Sometimes I see a lot of people asking for money for a "bus ticket" or "gas" because "their car broke down" I always tell them that I know they are full of shit, and that they should change their line. they will still get few $, as I prefer that they ask for money instead of robbing someone else.

And in all honesty, do beggars do anything different than your average sales person? Instead of a product they are selling their poverty. If they good at doing that why not reward them :)

I used both, ended with Rq. Freedom if choice can be good, but when you able to make decision. Variety of backends, storages force you to understand how each component really work and when you dig into details you find that they all not equivalent. But you just need something f--kng working and you don't want to pay another guy to maintain zoo of different products.

That is why I decided to use Rq, it is better to know limitations of something simple then know possibilities but not able to make choice.
I agree. It's unfortunate that whenever you see media coverage of a study like this, the safe assumption is bad interpretation of the data, bad data, small sample sizes and the like. It could also be true. We're such apes.

You feel like you need to interrogate them to see what they're missing or hiding. Is this just a product of pay in certain industries?

The article mentions poorly performing banks. Bank CEO markets are competitive. There are a lot of them. They move and they have options in government, think task and such. Banks also happen to be on a bad run. Tech OTOH is doing well. We're on a founder-CEO trend and most of them are rich of founder stack, not salaries. Stock is more common as a compensation. You're more likely to find $1 salaries in tech companies.

Could the story really be more about industries, their compensation norms and recent performance? Could it be about founders vs hired guns? Could your (sounds plausible) reasoning be true, bad companies need to pay CEOs higher salaries. I'm not claiming it is, just pointing out how unfortunate it is that we can't say "Forbes, University of Utah. They must have eliminated those. Their conclusion must be a likely one.

"How could this be? In a word, overconfidence. CEOs who get paid huge amounts tend to think less critically about their decisions." - really?

On second though, your reasoning must be correct. Stock based compensation is much more attractive in a company/industry that's making gains. Warren Buffet or Larry Ellison can be compensated by owning stock, options or similar. If a stock is flat, those kinds of incentive packages are worth less so it needs to be made up in salary.
