Institutional UI/UX departments always seem to overthink this stuff and get it wrong. I would love it if there was a rulebook we could reference so this sort of thing isn't always a battle.

I assume the tech is better in the tesla. Despite its issues, isn't autopilot better than the adas systems of similarly priced used/new cars?

It sounds like they actually did something like this. Their shard key selection could be customer, project, folder or something in their data model at a reasonably high logical level in their hierarchy.

Do we really still need such a giant TSA? What would it take to reduce the scanning burden per passenger? The existing process is basically "security theater" anyway.

Sure, but isn't that mostly a theoretical issue or only problematic if the device is used at the limit of it's specification? I haven't heard any stories of water damaged iPhones recently. I've had my iPhone XS and 12 un

Anybody in NYC notice the large amount of people not paying for the bus or subway? It seems optional for a great number of people. I wonder how many people in the average MTA bus have actually paid.

I’m still shocked they renamed HBO max. HBO has to be one of the strongest premium brand names around. There’s clearly something wrong going on in the organization. Perhaps it’s a debt issue after the merger with discovery.

Seems like that refresh rate could be slowed down significantly. Heck, if its an existential issue for the app they could cut the mailbox status completely.

That's not the disgusting part. It's the assumption by banks that they will be bailed out (by us) for their bad investments if the investments are large enough.

I'm assuming 90% of these API requests are reads. Is there a reason Apollo couldn't develop an intermediate proxy server and cache all the responses for a short period of time? I assume that would cut the API usage significantly a

Sorry to ask for a source, but is that actually true? I'm pretty sure they are covered. I would be interested in opening an account and filing a complaint against them if they aren't treating PII or PHI in a compliant manner.

Wow, I just tried and it’s very easy. Seems like a huge miss of privilege escalation allowing someone with the pin and phone to escalate to full password. This should require the old password or more steps.

Perhaps this style of interview will be a great antidote to the elitecode arms war hellscape we accidentally created.

I assume this "AI" is nothing like the neural networks that have made such great strides recently. A lot of pre-programmed boolean logic.

I agree with the sentiment however given the current political realities it seems we are happier to let people lose their livelihoods without any clear replacements , training or economic plan of any kind. See manufacturing in the rust belt

I've been optimistically viewing this as a potential major step forward towards personalized cancer therapy for a wider population. Really looking forward to the phase 3 trial.

Generally speaking, I think of processed foods as anything padded with sugar, salt and/or fat. Food which comes from a factory, not a farm. Processed foods are digested quickly which has issues. They have a high caloric density with lo

Its somewhat situation dependent, but I've developed healthy systems that scale to surprisingly high throughputs with just a couple well designed sql databases, read replicas and memcached.

Sounds like the big lesson is having autonomy to do whatever needs to be done to solve the problem at hand. Pattern matching how to handle situations based on previous success/failures might not be the best way to deal with early stage
