Depends on your area of business certainly, but for us (all remote social) it’s a huge time saver. There’s version control and a culture of editing in “suggestion mode” to save us if something goes wrong. But having to wait x hours for someone to get into the office because they’re in another time zone so you can edit what you need can be a real time waster.

At the least you often lose the train of thought or edit is never made, which can be even worse than losing the time.

HR and other sensitive docs excluded of course.

I think you’re totally right, until you consider the shared/pool options. Those can be both really cheap and really profitable if you have the density.

It’s more like you lend your truck to someone who committed a crime sometime in the past and now you’re banned from ever driving again.

Isn’t it really the more general water where things grow that’s valuable? If it’s grown and used water then it’s labeled. If water in CA is more scarce/expensive, then the market will balance around it.

The insidious thing about this from their side is that retained revenue from dark patterns shows up in a report someone can use to justify a promotion but your friend’s situation will forever remain anecdotal (in their reporting). Growth teams run amok.

Thriving, I bet

Having spent a lot of time immersed in NYC property configurations recently, we can use the calculated sqft of 7.3 and look up the zoning on NYC ZoLa (zone C4-5) gives a commercial floor-area-ratio of 3.4. This means a building serving commercial tenants could be built with a grand total of about 24.8 sq ft. With standard set-backs, you're looking at about 5 floors but the top ones would be tight at around 3 sqft each.

In former times, what we consider the trades were also romanticized. The masons and all that. I expect software to follow the same path and at an accelerated rate but that still gives us a while before we‘re fully normalized.

Sounds like Bloomberg was creating a bit of fiction about how something like this could happen and backing it into validation by sources.

Particularly damning part, to me: "I sent him a link to Mouser, a catalog where you can buy a 0.006 x 0.003 inch coupler. Turns out that’s the exact coupler in all the images in the story." Clearly they didn't have an original hacked part like some have claimed/hoped.

This looks to be a much better interface to a data set the city has and makes available but with a horrible UI.

There's also a 1940's dataset that isn't available online but you can order prints. Got a 1940's one yesterday for my new place and has a kid looking out the neighbor's window. Crazy to think what's transpired out that window in the intervening time.

Would love to see the 1940's one online and wrapped up in street view!

To me it seems that corporations first went for the “what’s best for me” and insane optimization routes while ignoring social responsibility decades before people did individually.

But when people do it, as in the mortgage crisis, it becomes something that is “toxic to society” to the same capitalists that cheered on the large corporations maximizing profits.

There doesn’t need to be a charge to remove legit content violations but if the removal is contested and found to be false the original claimant should pay up. I’d like the penalty to be steep enough that if you’re using machine learning to flag content a human should still be incentivized to take a look before the claim is submitted.

Not directly sharding but I've been working on a fork of Bleve that uses Cassandra as the backing store which allows for horizontal scaling of a single index: https://github.com/wrble/flock

Still very much a work in progress but the core is functional.

Several of these recent studies read like the brain has specs, like a fancy GPU.

Scary thought but I guess at some level it had to be true.

Good stuff! Would totally install a native app that sent me pushes when things go in/out of season.

Web link not bypassing paywall for me, anyone else? Or am I in some experimental cohort? :)

Support and optimize are two way different things. The cynic in me says they support those old devices for purposes of getting people to upgrade so their device slows way down and they have to purchase a new one. I know I’ve been caught in that a couple times.

Guessing they mean land-owners.

Honest question, how is it skewed? Not a fan of google news myself for other reasons but never felt they forced a PoV.

Talk to Sam alone sometime for 5 minutes and you'll get it. Super smart dude and it comes through immediately.

What is "2xe" in this context? Google wasn't helpful.

Problem is that Google is boosting amp in search pages, making it 'required' for sites that live on SEO.

Feels like some stability in computing generations (CPU/GPU) or interaction paradigms (mobile) will be necessary to formalize software engineering. Until bridges/etc had a relative standard building each one was a craft. Not to say there hasn't been generational tech in traditional engineering, but generally not on the order of every few years.

First I'd get a tcpdump on one of the kubernetes boxes and see what's really going on at the network level.

One hunch is that ELBs don't like ephemeral ports and Kubernetes lives on them. Might be a mismatch here. ALBs are much more flexible with ports if that's an option.

This plugin will redirect you to a lighter-weight (AMP) version of any page you're on, if available. It shows the AMP pages directly on the publisher's site, bypassing Google and thereby bypassing a lot of the objections to the AMP format itself. This disentangles what amounts to a spec to create clean pages and Google's bundling of the pages on google.com.

Open source, the very simple code is at https://github.com/minwebio/extension

Ah, makes sense. Relatively new to Python world and getting a handle on all the version differences.

Looks great! Is it possible / in the works to port back to 2.x?

Details are pretty light, anyone know when this starts and what the application deadline is?
