I'm not quite sure I understand what the log support entails. Also, it says for Node.js that this is coming soon. Any idea of the ETA on this one?

I'm going to second aerovistae. I think there are plenty of glaring differences between Uber and Tesla that make your comparison just amount to throwing shade: 1. First, I haven't heard many people argue that they think Musk'

I'm not disputing the 10% number (though I don't know what all it includes - does it include drug delivery systems, like what is under discussion in OP's article?). I'm disputing the overall conclusion in that paper that

So what? 10% of all healthcare costs is a gigantic number. And you'll have to excuse me if I take a position paper from Pfizer with a grain of salt.

I think that's kind of the point, though, that OSes and shells have gotten to the point where all that complexity is hidden behind an easy installation. With modern web frameworks, all the "guts" are still fully exposed, wart

Wut? The "fun facts" he listed re: the board members were just that - interesting tidbits (that I was personally intrigued to find out) but yes, not relevant to other aspects of the case. The fact that "Carmack was enthralled

But with this technology it seems like it would be straightforward to build a slightly larger, more practical house. Though I agree, I think building a house with at least one actual bedroom would have made a better demo.

Huh? Your answer surprises me, as I can think of tons of examples. Designers are often asked to provide a portfolio to show the work they are capable of. Same thing for photographers. In a previous life I was a ballet dancer, and the whole

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but would it be possible to build essentially a large "siphon", so that the discharge of the water didn't result in erosion directly below the spillway? Seems like it would be pissing

Agreed, but running a large production company was not originally Netflix's core competency either. It does seem like Netflix's playbook would be more difficult to copy for music, but still an interesting prospect to consider.

I think throwaw181ay is making a different argument, which is essentially that you should license the people (e.g. like a driver's license, which indicates proficiency) and not the thing , which is (basically) the car.

The whole medallion scheme just reeked of utter rent seeking. It was just a transfer of wealth from the poor (drivers) to the rich (medallion owners) for no reason. As you state, the city could still have restricted the number of drivers an

They were very smart to make it that low. At that cost, it becomes a simple no-brainer for the hotel, because it's cheaper than even just one booking refund. It also means it's very low priority for law enforcement.

You are confusing legal restrictions specifically set up to limit the power of the state with tools every company will use to limit fraud. For example, you speak of "presumption of innocence" and "burden of proof" as &qu

Yes, that's part of it. It's a bit of a double-edged sword, but when it's easy to fire people, it also makes it a lot easier to hire them, because there is less of a risk when you make a mistake or need to change direction of
