Sounds like you would give consent if asked, and I applaud you for that. Myself I gladly donate blood for free to help others. I don’t however feel that either of those willful good deeds should be viewed as arguments supporting that people should have their blood extracted or data sold without consent.
> It would have been trivial to review these for required sections in advance
Absolutely. It is trivial! And the company making the submission is expected to do that. Which I think is very reasonable, considering that they know the requirements and make the actual submission in the first place.
It’s silly to want the reviewers to take on an additional burden in the process just because this one company made a dumb mistake which as you say would have been trivial for them to review and catch.
They didn’t submit the required information in the required form.
SF wants startups to behave, that doesn’t mean that behaving startups get to ignore the standard procedures or get exceptions from requirements.
And apparently tons of entities throughout the county just went on with budget increases to the tune of 4.4 million from one year to the next and no one anywhere asked any questions... it seems almost unbelievable that everyone just didn’t notice or noticed without questioning any of the numbers. It might have been caused by a single error but the effects and shortfalls where widespread and significant.
That’s not how funding works. If you believe the product is worth exactly what you pay that’s not funding, that’s buying. Funding is the belief that at some point the ownership will be worth the wait given the investment.
I love jupytext, but i feel like it’s a patch on a problem that should have just been solved. Just change jupyter to work directly in the genereres file format and skip the “pair files” hassle.
Sounds like a bad apology from someone who got caught passing of others work as their own. Yes plagiarism is wrong, and no it’s not the entirety of academia that is wrong because you can’t get by without talent through just copying other people’s work.
She’s pragmatic and has to somehow capitalize on her success. And the very reason everyone owns so much crap is because this is the way you can easily do that. Selling cheap shit to the masses. She was never preaching an end to consumerism or actual social change. She just had a cute pitch for a role that could provide her fame so she could get a payday.
No doubt tons of fans of hers will fill their houses with her crap-ware and the irony will be lost on them. But what does it matter? They’ll buy it because they want to express their alignment with her image through their spending. Just like they bought an exercise bike because they wanted to seem fit. And then they threw it out because she told them it was what they should do and they listened and now she’s saying buy tuning forks and they’ll listen.
> and at the time the woman (perhaps plural) didn’t want to really participate.
AFAIK, the sexual interactions where consensual as they occurred. But the two woman withdrew consent after the fact as they learned he hadn’t been wearing a condom (and they discovered he’d been with both of them).
I remember fondly those early days with PHP before it dawned on me how many peculiarities it had. However to be fair these steps came only after you’d managed to set up the server which was non-trivial on its own.
These days I feel like python/flask does it simpler. True you need to define a function and use a decorator, but saves you having to set up the server before getting started on site itself.
Would you like to expand on your view? I’ve used terraform a lot and never had any issues with the tooling. But then again it’s just a pretty simple CLI/config setup? Do you mean you’re looking for graphical interfaces to write config files?
Well written review. Yet I’m left with the most important question unanswered. Is the game
fun to play?
I get the strange feeling that the answer is a hard no. And that this price was ordered which is why it goes on like one long excuse for why different people might have different opinions of it.
> Data is so cheap that it should be actually free, unlike counterfeit nike shoes.
This really depends on the data. In pharma the right 50 bytes of data can be worth billions. Not all data is personal product preferences for add targeting.
It’s already the case for lists, and no-one is confused. (I have taught intro courses to python). People do however get confused as to why it doesn’t work for dictionaries, because it’s intuitive to expect it would when it works for lists. And none one seems to be confused about the non communicative nature (most don’t know what that means anyway) they find it natural that adding lists puts the first list first.
To me it says that in his circles people are currently talking to downplay the Uber killing, likely worried about consequences for what was ultimately senior management pushing to disregard safety in the name of hitting milestones for investors, and on the other side people downplaying the brutal killing of an American journalist, likely to ease the minds of those taking blood money from the man who ordered the murder to fund their ventures. They are feeling the heat, so they keep reassuring themselves that really it’s all nothing, to the point that in his mind, equating the two made perfect sense, because really they where both just silly small mistakes....
> It is mind-boggling how you can market a product and sell it to a patient population knowing absolutely nothing about how it will affect them
Seems the problem is that the product got classified essentially as “just a new baker baking bread”. And in that case you wouldn’t do clinical trials to see how people react to eating your exact loves of bread.
Then people realized that his exact brand of bread could be given to infants, and still you wouldn’t do a clinical trial because it’s just bread.
Then it seems that the production process might have been flawed in a way that doesn’t quite harm adults, but is dangerous to infants and here we are.
So what really was the major flaw? Should we start doing clinical trials on all foodstuff given to infants? It likely wouldn’t have shown anything if the root cause is manufacturing process problems, because those problems would not have been present in the batches used for the clinical trial anyway. But we would end up having to test every single brand and procedure of mashed carrots to see if it caused problems in infants.
That seems to be the pitch because it fits the trope of “big bad company never thought of the potential consequences of their money making scheme!”
But really this might just be a straight forward case of manufacturing practices not being held to the needed standards, because a plant got thrown around between a couple of companies and the people on the ground didn’t know any better.
Also, you have to now wonder if Heinz ketchup produced with the same process given to infants might cause NEC. I’m sure that even if there where such cases no-one would have been able to connect the dots.
We’re working on a jupyter notebook setup as well, but for us it’s only analytical notebooks and dashboards (through Voila). How have you tied in triggered dataflows and ETL?
