I think Levine fails to note one benefit of invalidating non-debtor releases. Yes, the current victims suffer from having less money available to a settlement. But future victims may be better protected, as non-debtors now can't exploi

Why would fixing driver problems be bad for doordash? The incentives are fairly aligned. A more effective and efficient delivering experience means more deliveries can be sold to customers, at a lower price. Disclosure: I work for a food de

I agree with the premise of the article, that some of Kandinsky's work is not readily "decoded". But at the Guggenheim exhibition, I found that to be an appealing element, rather than a problem. In the more "decodable&qu

I agree. Maybe in a few decades we'll just stick to China Standard Time.

I think that a lot, perhaps most, AI diagnoses would involve a feedback loop that tracks the patient's health outcomes. Here are some examples of feedback: - The AI misses a cancer that gets worse and is later detected on a blood test.

Recently visisted a "staff show" at Pace Gallery, in which the entire staff (assistants, front desk, archivists, art handlers, ...) was invited to submit their own art. It seems to have done well! https://www.pacegaller

Superb tool! In 15 mins, I was able to get rough answers to questions like: * When am I financially independent if I keep living the way I do now? * What if I lowered my expenses right now seeking earlier FI? * When could I hypothetically s

Doesn't this just provide another (perhaps more nearby) remote? You still end up doing some kind of large checkout.

I think this is quite exciting, as it solves a major unsolved problem for large git monorepos: enabling development or CI/CD inside a git monorepo without requiring a large checkout. As monorepos grow huge, this comes to be very costly

I've used depop a fair amount, I think it's a big leg up over eBay because of it draws some useful features from social media. The feed allows you to follow and discover sellers whose style suits you, and stay informed of their of

I used reviewable.io at my last company, and now use phabricator. I actually still prefer reviewable, so give that a look.

This raises an interesting point. I think we already live with this kind of tension much more than in the past, as made clear by the voting patterns of young vs old. Sharing a country with people of such different values is hard. Particular

I think if you read the two parent comments to "this is the correct take", they also take an authoritative mood. Rather qualifying a statement with "I think", or "I believe", they basically assume some reality

That doesn't solve the the software/architecture problems that led to these huge hosting requirements.

Yeah, SDI doesn't do a very good job of actually solving that chicken and egg problem. It tends to give a "solution" without motivating the design decisions. After reading about 80% of SDI and not much else, I failed a system

I completely agree, but that population would be a pretty small readership.

"Gender and sex are different" isn't intended to mean that they are completely independent concepts.

I agree. A big missing link at my organization is a VCS that can make it easier to checkout and operate on only a subset of a large (many GBs) monorepo. Unfortunately, microsoft had to move away from VFS for Git to some a more limited-in-sc

The "marketing service" just means being listed at all on GrubHub itself. So restaurant owners are agreeing to a big fee to get customers from the GrubHub website and app. But it sounds like they often don't know that they ar

Certainly possible. Glibc has the sysconf function which can provide the cache sizes at runtime. https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Constants... However, consider a scenario like a databa

I don't think "conflated" is the right word. Romer doesn't imply that these problems have the same cause, or are even correlated (although I suspect they are). He just lays them out as stark examples of FDA getting in th

I think that's right, but organizationally challenging to implement. In my experience engineers don't really think through this question carefully, and have to be prodded to do the right thing, or at least the thing that better se

This was helpful to me. How does the PE company fare in the bankruptcy scenario? Have they put up collateral or are somehow on the hook to the lenders? It's my understanding that the bankruptcy applies only to the purchased subsidiary,

Great timing! Current conditions are WeWork's nightmare scenario. WeWork's raison-d'etre is short term leasing. Leaseholders will end those leases if everyone is working from home. Add to that that an economic recession was a

I disagree. The SLA ought to be made on a per-customer basis. 1% of users affected would mean 1% of users would be entitled to refunds/remedies that the SLA prescribes.

What I've seen work well, for multiple migrations, (at an admittedly smaller scale) is using shadow writes/reads and a source-of-truth toggle. The API layer made requests to both the old DB and a new DB that had been populated dur
