After being cheeky I wanted to make sure I circled back. I liked the article a lot. Well written, solid points. I think that client side caching, is something that gets overlooked a lot, especially in enterprise web apps. Performance sure does make us perform a fine dance.
The most common example I see is the password requirement that it must be between 8 and 16 characters... The 16 character limit is the main issue there... You know it has to do with the wya the data is stored.
The only way to really fight something like this is to make GMO's and the people who produce these plant varieties into some sort of boogeyman, no? We see this happen all over the world, not just in the US. The current level of misinformation about the safety of GMOs is already very overblown in the world. Don't get me wrong, GMOs are being weaponized for monetary purposes in, what I believe, are very unethical ways. But those arguments are not what you see most when arguments against them are made.
I just don't see any other angle to attack nitrogen fixing corn other than to make some sort of GMO boogeyman out of it. It is really amazing the amount of misinformation that is populating the world for the purpose of protecting cash cows.
sidenote Thanks for the downvotes :) apparently my sarcasm hit a nerve.
Just another reason for big Agriculture to create more GMOs. /s
This would really be amazing. Honest concern... How does the fertilizer industry fight this? There are billions of dollars a year at stake here. Nobody faces billions of lost revenue without a fight.
I work for a medium sized company in the commercial insurance space in PA. We have a cafeteria. They do charge for meals, but we have access to unlimited drinks. I think larger companies in general will have a cafeteria of some kind, but free food is very much a perk of software companies on the whole, I do believe.
This is wholly and categorically untrue. Parenting today is much different than it was 100 years ago. The way we approach children, discipline children, and help them grow into their best selves has changed a lot. And it is based on lots of research. It is also based on all of the work that therapists do with adults after their parents have messed them up so bad with their horrible parenting. Every child will be their own adventure, personalities makes parenting every child different. But to say that there aren't guidelines and that you should just do whatever comes natural is dangerous. Because beating children comes naturally to some people. Being passive aggressive or emotionally blunt with them can come naturally. Being an absent parent and not spending any time with them can come naturally as work gets in the way. If you are unsure then seeking professional help to make sure you have the basics covered is a great way to start.
Parenting is very much an art, but like all art, there is definitely a science backing it up.
Seeing talks about 2 separate fiber cuts... Lots of issues all over the US. Chicago to NY and also another cut that goes south to SC. r/sysadmin has good info
I'm on Comcast and cannot get to Twitter and a few other places... But Netflix and YouTube work just fine. I wonder why I can get to some stuff but not others...
I am on Comcast and can get to some stuff, but not other stuff. Twitter is down, but HN and Google are just fine. Clash Royale was down for me as well.
This is nice to see... I know we have been having internal discussions about how to best implement a system health check for our APIs as we migrate into a services based architecture across several different technology groups. I hope that it gets the traction necessary and makes it into a full standard.
The chart you reference shows that they are virtually the same...
All of Health vs All of Tech - yes, you are right. Tech is about double.
But Pharma, Biotech, Life Sciences show better returns over Tech as a whole and virtually equivalent Software & Services return.
I would argue that there are definitely players in the Tech space that are raking some very hefty profits, but are in highly competitive markets that could see that erode into losses very quickly... I do not think we are quite in the realm of price gouging and the lower barriers to entry in most of tech keeps things from swinging too far off the charts.
It flowed just fine for me because I pronounce it S-Q-L in my head as well. I don't know why saying SEQUAL has always felt unnatural to me. Probably because I came across it independently and learned about it by myself instead of having someone else introduce it to me as SEQUAL before seeing the acronym.
Doesn't the earthquake risk significantly curb LA's ability to build up as much as NYC? I think there are probably certain density limiting factors like this. Which just means that they need to adapt to what that means in terms of sprawl and moving people around.
And the bigger problem is that there is profiteering at every step of the way... Medical Insurance, devices, private testing labs, hospitals, doctors, pharma...it all adds up. As someone else said, it's a free market without a real market for competition... I don't remember where I heard it, so citation needed, but the number that sticks on my head is that we spend 25% on administration alone. Lots of billing companies exist just to handle the complicated mess we have created... More profits in the system.
