If I had to guess the airport doesn’t make money just off of the flights, they also provide general services to passengers. Having a 30 person flight come through might net them parking, drinks, duty free revenue as well. Even some of the

Wonder if that’s a fake account creation edge using that, if that signal is interpreted that clearly. Setup a bunch of fake emails, upload your “contacts” to some compromised accounts, have them click on links in the emails to enroll in FB

Consistency of configuration is a big thing — I can configure my Spark, internal framework, and application logs in the same file, for example. That’s actually one thing I liked about Java, how easy configuring logging via Log4j was and ho

Would this work with server side rendered applications? We SSR a lot of the data calls, as the identifiers to be fetched is usually available in the URL. —— Nvm, I see that’s listed as a React Query feature.

We should respect honesty more. At least then we can talk about the real issues, like maybe finding relationships in a non-work context. We can call this person selfish and attend to the root malice only because they were honest. If they

They’d probably argue that this same model works for that - you just update the manifold. That’s probably fair, the model isn't really powered to be predictive just correlative. It still embeds some of the same problems, though, mainl

Has anyone actually read the paper? I have some pretty serious qualms with the topology traversal routes over the DOSI vs age manifold — they seem unfounded. This isn’t inherently problematic, but that seems like a core assumption - that t

Sadly, I don't have a book to recommend. Most of the targeting today is happening through antibodies, but the majority of LNP delivery at this point is done passively without targeting mechanisms on the LNP (Needle injection point asid

This is where I think the original data admins were deluding themselves. Expecting 1,400 analysts to write better code is a really non-trivial problem, but easy to proclaim. An actual solution is creating pre-joined tables and having proce

This was compared to a local run ISP that they connect to via a local tower (Farm silo). The ISP licenses spectrum from Verizon iirc.
