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 …

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 t…

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,…

From these links, main number seems to be "Nearly 10 million Americans, or 4.1 percent of the adult population, used prescription opioid painkillers for nonmedical reasons in 2012-…

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 th…

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 actu…

Most of those other professions you listed have much more meaningful and standardized certifications than software. A board certified cardiologist has already demonstrated real pro…

The bar for predatory pricing is very high, and Uber doesn't hit it: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a... The main issue, as others have pointed out, is …

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 photographe…

Random question: Did you just hand-cut the svg code for the graph on the left side of the page? I took a quick look through the source code and didn't see any evidence of a specifi…

No, I understood the article to state that washed eggs shouldn't be stored unrefrigerated at all (except to bring up to room temp just before cooking). The "1 week for unrefrigerat…

You're trading a certainty for an uncertainty. That's pretty much the textbook definition of financial risk.

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 s…

Just wanted to say thanks for this writeup. This is really excellent, to the point I was passing around your blog post in lieu of the GCP announcement.

I've seen some secure financial sites that already do that.

It's that what it actually is? Not familiar with the field, so is "neuromorphic chip design" really "we wired a bunch of GPUs together?" Don't mean to minimize the work involved, j…

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, …

"What else is new here" is you can't have any downtime, and you have to have a strategy for having your code work against the data in all of those transitional states during that p…

Places like Kenya have been leading the world in mobile payments.

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…

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, t…
