Can you give me a source on that? Is that for NYC specifically?

I can't see this possibly working. It would really just fuel even more segregation by having those students go to private school.

>> By far most independent studies (listed on Wikipedia) conclude that glyphosate is not or is unlikely to be carcinogenic. Well, if there was no concern about the objectivity of the science th…

Wow, it's rare that I scroll down 5 pages and see the best comment there. That's a great idea.

Agreed. It really touches on the emotional aspects of it, which I think really need to be discussed. When I picture why certain family members have a hard time accepting the reality of global warming,…

There are unknowns for autism, high cancer rates, autoimmune disorders, near-sightedness

>> But some of it probably is. So basically you concede the original point then. That environmental factors may be increasing autism rates.

Agreed. The only other semi-substantive point is that this company was "heavily criticized" for using a lot patient data (presumably for training?) without proper authorization in the UK. Bu…

Conceptually cool. I wonder though if this would work for those of us whose application consists of multiple interdependent services living in multiple repos.

Some of my questions for anybody who's successfully implemented this at a 30 engineer+ company: How do you tie in to version control? How do you QA this? (Can it be QA'd locally?) Would you …

Uh... aren't you leaving out product managers? Is a "product engineer" just a glorified term to get an engineer to do two jobs at once? CEO: "We need a search box" Product Own…

Not for this reason alone (mostly because I can never sign out of the browser and it's trying to auto-sign-me-in to sites I don't want tracking me) I uninstalled chrome yesterday. End of an …

Meh, I'm trying to decide if articles like this are just irrelevant or are actively bad. The problem with this article is that it's describing the world as it should be and not as it is .…

Well I don't think the argument is that you need academic justification before implementing something in your own life. Obviously not the case. But at the same time, for people like myself, who a…

In fact, the more I think about it, the more I realize this is a dark-pattern. Amazon must realize that the "Amazon's choice" label ONLY increases sales if consumers misunderstand wh…

They host it for you. My experience has been that they scale fine. I don't know about your use case specifically, but for our case (~100GB of searchable data at any given moment), searching takes…

Well, the fact that this has so many upvotes, sort of contradicts you. Some portion of people (maybe 15 or 20)% had brand-trust in amazon that their "choice" products were a service to the…

I work DevOps at a 60 person company. I wanted Splunk very badly, but due to pricing had to compromise. We got SumoLogic. I'm very happy with it relative to ELK. It's almost as good and much…

>> "The curve inversion to this point is flagging a 55-to-60 percent chance of a U.S. recession over the next 12 months" So if that's reliably actionable, why aren't billion-…

So, somebody with a more rigorous understanding correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought it was a truism that any advice about the market appearing in print was necessarily useless: If there…

I guess I don't get all this "monad" stuff. This article talks about 3 types of monad. An optional, a list, and a future. However an optional is really just a list constrained to size 0…

You're drawing a false dichotomy. "Don't be evil" isn't at all the same as "wokeness." Just as one example, some of us would never build an unconstitutional mass-sur…

Do you have a source for the claim that 99% of attendees of Yale don't have enough money to live off their inheritance indefinitely?

I find this piece fascinating. To honor it I offer a tl; dr 1. Author recounts experiences of people lying about their class/wealth at Yale, often feigning less wealth. 2. Explains behavior 1 a…

I don't know if that's true among top-tier applicants. And even if the ratio were 24:1, it still not a meaningless gesture. It puts an economic pressure on a company when finding candidates …

Yes. It's an odd phenomenon. Some messages of this form seem to live and recirculate for years, perpetuated without much analytical thought. I often get preached at about how bad social media is.…

Fascinating topic. Unfortunate that a voice in the back of my brain has to say "Oh I bet if they good at this they'll just use it to target ads better"

As a DevOps engineer really trying to decide if learning kubernetes in a necessary investment I'm interested. I think containerization is here to stay for sure. It just seems kubernetes offers a …

Agreed. I would go so far as to vote for a representative who wanted to pass a law restricting what is legal advertisement. I believe undisclosed ads should be illegal, I would ban music in ads, I wou…

It's fine to bemoan people commenting who haven't read the article, but reading the comments first to gauge if the article is clickbait/whatever is a perfectly valid use-case. I also …
