Agreed. Transportation is a public service and economic engine. Subsidizing travel to help supply travel to demand is the easiest and likely most affordable thing we can do to ensure economic volume.
> In fact, increasingly, hype is the only thing that counts, as larger and larger chunk of investment money is chasing it – to the detriment of everything else that happens not to bolt the hyped tech onto its unrelated but otherwise solid product or service.
> FTA: So we're not only going to be treating (or outright preventing) a number of diseases, we're going to be learning more about the cause of these diseases than we ever did before.
Ultra processed foods (UPF) needs a hard look IMO. It's the leading cause of many diseases stated in the article and several others including cancer and dementia.
In the software world I call this an end user discovered issue. But when the issue involves a plane that is carrying actual souls. That can feel very scary.
I am sure this has been resolved by now since its from 2020.
I could suppose it's some of all of this. But my money is on UPF. The author of Ultra Processed People has an identical twin in NJ while he lives in the UK and their weights are vastly different.
That is a systems design question and would have been reserved for Senior/Staff+ level hires. I have learned there is a whole delivery framework for providing that answer and I would not ask that of entry-level engineering. Assuming it was entry level.
Southwest Airlines (SW) has still not made an investment in their scheduling and operations software and infrastructure. They will have more operational failures in the future if say a huge store system forces to many flights to be rescheduled. For something so critical to business continuity I find it astounding how little SW has done in that regard. SW also has lobbied alot to derail high speed rail in Texas. Although I am sure all airlines have done that to some degree.
Given the expansion of the regular season, the SB is now one week before Presidents day weekend. The NFL could potentially move the season one week back and now have the SB regularly land on the Sunday during presidents day weekend.
I remember seeing the leaderboard rankings before the prize was awarded. If I recall correctly the top two teams were very close to the coveted goal. They ended merging to become one team and spit the prize once they achieved the goal.
> Once the monolith is well matured and growing pains start to rise, then you can start to peel off one microservice at a time from it.
Curious what is considered a growing pain of the monolith vs tech debt that hasn't been tackled. If the issue is the monolith can't scale in performance then a services oriented architecture doesn't necessarily give you that automatically unless you know where the bottleneck of your monolith is.
