Disagree - this isnt 22000 ad its 2020 ad - while we have technology, development of vaccines is still very slow, and of course, even if we did have a much faster process to develop such a vaccine, there is of course, the financials, politics, manufacturing, quality control, distribution, monitoring, etc infrastructure must be put into place.

Any way anyone else can 'contribute' here to reaching a cure? I'm thinking - somehow bootstrapping a node to join a distributed blockchain network of protein folding simulations ...

Right well, its clear that at least in java, he doesn't pre-allocate the size of the hashmap. Thus, when the hashmap hits its maximum size, of course the resize operation has to copy all of the data into a new map, which makes this no longer O(N) but something like O(NlogN) or O(N^2) depending.

How about a UDP endpoint?

This is completely deceptive, especially showing them as from the US!!! I imagine 90% of AdWords users are not aware of this. Thank you for writing this!

This is all anecdotal - its clear that online advertising has a lot of value - ebay is a huge brand, and removing advertising for "shoes" might not be easily measureable - however, there are tons of business relying solely on this form of advertising - no one would find their websites if they didn't.

OPINION: This is just propoganda - its not a bubble - its just negative press around tech companies - not helpful.

It would be great to have a few fact sheets sent through beforehand, and main questions published and moderated properly, as opposed to a political high level back and forth solving nothing.

This is completely false - I imagine they didn't take into account how much the migration and upkeep actually cost them. AWS's promise is not that its infrastructure itself is cheaper in terms of number of servers, or otherwise. Its cheaper in that it helps automate a lot of manual things away.

The process should be 100% transparent here. I'm curious why the budgeting, invoicing, cannot be looked at transparently to discover what is going on here?

Can the contractors hired not be held accountable to their proposed budgets? 2-5x multiple seems about right as a fudge factor - but 10x?

Is there any chance that this was done on purpose?

All you are proposing really is that code be stored in a common format that editors can parse and display. Tabs and spacing literally are already exactly that - a common format that text editors can properly display.

Otherwise, it would require text editors to have knowledge of how to parse a specific language or serialization, which requires a lot of extra that most wouldn't support.

1. Why can we not ban spoofed numbers?

2. It would be great if instead they introduced legislation that made it dead simple to sue robocallers, i.e. - request your call records from carrier - submit said call records through online portal proving excessive calls

Get this one all the time. I did have a car warranty that expired (a while ago), so I always wondered if its just a stock message, or if someone actually sold the data of my car warranty.

My main question is why this can't be done incrementally? The system can almost always be broken down into functional areas? Does Agile here just not apply?

Nah, just start interviewing, and spend more time getting offers to find a company you might actually like.

Avoid starting something until you see what doing it correctly looks like.

You can always start your thing on the side, and transition when it becomes more than a side project. Plus, it is 100% easier to do while you have a salary.

I wonder if there are more 'universal' images that would be able to have the same effect across populations?

I could imagine this type of thing going in art galleries, evoking different tailored emotions.

Things are relative here - you know they test experimental pharmaceutical drugs on monkeys too right?

I'm not sure you are interpreting this correctly - its not like they were torturing the monkey.

This is almost the same as studies where they show humans a set of images and ask them which they like the most. Except in this case, they just show them the images and try to measure it.

Most of these comments are blowing this out of proportion.

"Modeling my it off of"

This issue here is with new "Open Source" software companies earning revenue through hosting as opposed to simply providing support / custom feature development / etc.

It creates a conflict of interest when others want to host it, since it takes their revenue away. However, in my opinion anyone should be able to compete on hosting/support.

This revenue goes back into funding development, but places restrictions on how the software can be used - making it "Open Sourced, Closed Service Based Hosting" or something like that. Inotherwords, we need a new name for this type of software.

My question is - if AWS simply made it easy to spin up an elastic search cluster, but didn't offer a specific API/Service - whats the difference here? Very little.

I don't understand why companies and governments continue to go with outsourced ibm, Accenture, etc. The number of gargantuan sized failures never ceases to amaze.

Its hard to believe this is real - considering the ftc's former position on net neutrality. Am I just being paranoid, or could this at all just be a sham investigation to appear as if the FTC is doing something, which will turn out findings that are all 'unremarkable' to further protect isps?

If you look at kernel code for many flavors of Linux you'll see annotations that hint at which branches of code are more likely.

Similarly, many JIT compilers create statistics on the fly already; for instance these are used to better predict which branches are most likely to occur and thus be prefetched.

I think the author is mostly saying that, unless you site is horridly designed, that incremental updates where required can have just as much impact on the bottom line as complete sitewide redesigns, especially when the point of new design is often misguided, i.e. simply trying to keep up with the latest design trends.

Can anyone share anecdotally if companies are reaching out, and the success rate of these types of threads?

I like the yelp service - but working for yelp has always seemed like a terrible idea.

Differential privacy.

How do people think it will play out both tech-culturally and politically if she gets convicted / acquitted?

If convicted, justice would be had but would it send a negative message to entrepreneurs?

If acquitted, might it reinforce the "break things and move fast even if it harms people mentality"?

The article was a bit meandering (bit of a bildungsroman), but good to know to avoid docusign apis. Might have been able to find out how much it sucked just by googling more "docusign alternatives" or "docusign api sucks" =D
