This is hyperbolic nonsense. Having worked at AWS, I've never encountered a business that is more serious about their security position.

Unfortunately, while I agree with you on the monoculture angle, I'm not sure this article covered it in any meaningful way.

It's really sad to grow food and know what it looks like, and then go into a grocery where everything looks like an identical twin. A forked carrot? Must have been mutated by nuclear waste! A strawberry that isn't the size of a Snickers bar? Can't possibly be good!

It's consumer attitudes and opinions that need to change to make this better. It's interesting in America especially where one of the foundational attributes of the culture is "individuality" that the consumers expect the opposite of their produce.

You know MySQL, MariaDB, and Postgres don't have licensing costs, right?

What is better for society: a warning that says something is toxic, or pretending that a poison is perfectly harmless?

A toxic company

I'm confused, are you arguing that cellular changes cannot impact a larger organism because they have too many cells?

And the case was not for, against, or anything other than casually adjacent to GMOs.

Well corrected on his affiliation. Great quote too... Drink RoundUp? "I'm not an idiot".

This case and this verdict had nothing to do with GMOs, but ok.

Everyone that enabled this behavior should be blacklisted by any and all respectable companies and investors.

I vaguely remember watching an interview with an exec from Monsanto saying RoundUp was perfectly safe, safe enough to drink. Then immediately refusing to drink it when offered, because of course it's poison.

Our government, and moreso, our society through cultural and government apathy has devalued anything academic that does not produce material gains - capital, wealth, patents, etc.

I fear that the total commercialisation of academia means that we are unlikely to see meaningful material gains for society in terms of new cures to disease or technology advances outside of those that can be monetised for recurring revenue in the next decade.

It's really an unfortunate but self inflicted American problem.

The"new" Gmail is the slowest website I use. I'm trying to give it a go but honestly I'm gonna have to switch soon. It's nearly unusable.

Child-side foreign keys? Does that mean constraints in app logic instead of the database?

I'm probably really ignorant asking this, but how do you "pause" schema migrations period. And even if you did, how do you ensure a consistent experience for your users if your db is broken? Some sort of application logic to deal with inconsistencies? That seems really expensive (from a development work perspective).

Whose definition says that?

I will never use this service and think Uber is a negative for society. It's unfortunate that people don't see it.

It only takes a couple weeks working in any company that has young employees to know that 90+% of those employees under 30 think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread and that all of their amazingness is simply unused and underpaid.

It's really sad actually because it means in 10 years we are gonna have significant work depression levels due to children being raised to believe their reality would be much different than it will turn out.

Cut the cord works

Classic crap

The first few paragraphs of this article put me off of the entire thing.

You are using an internet troll forum as your source of data??!

Nexus 5X owner. I won't buy one of these due to lack of aux output, and I'm not in "the industry".

Yes, I encourage you to write to your reps about it.

What is EZ and GP?

Computers don't lie, code doesn't lie. The idea of smart contacts is literally that code is law. If the code is flawed, that flaw is law. As soon as you try to wrap intent, disposition, and other legalities into the equation, how is a "smart contract" anything unique?

Why not just bike it?

I have a feeling that Chicago will switch to a distance based tap on/off system at some point. It just makes more sense to understand where people are actually using the system, and also prevents train dwellers riding nonstop all day.

The El, not the Metra. Chicago is lucky with transit options. On Amtrak you could get from Chicago to Grand Rapids, MI in 4 hours.
