Re:Glia – High-quality low-cost open source medical hardware on Wednesday January 15, 2020 @06:46PM (#22060155)
Not just Palestine, but Gaza. The cost of getting anything, medical equipment especially, into Gaza is insanely high and it's usually an unreliable process. Thats likely why theres such a huge emphasis on being able to create the entire unit in the Gaza Strip.

I actually attended a talk by Dr. Loubani this past weekend at MIT and one thing he emphasized was that everything they do has to be reliably replicated in Gaza. So yeah, one could conceivably purchase the Littmann replica from AliExpress but getting it into Gaza? Another story...

Re:Databricks open-sources Delta Lake to make data lakes more reliable on Wednesday April 24, 2019 @02:33PM (#19741435)
AFAIK, the data lake is the next step in the evolution of the data warehouse. Instead of storing data in a data mart/data warehouse, the concept of the datalake (as a design pattern) is that you don't schemas (support for unstructured data), better support for auditing and data governance/democratization, and schema (?) evolution

Re:Base salaries offered to software engineers in SF, NYC, and Seattle on Monday April 01, 2019 @06:47PM (#19549139)
Stocks are a major part of compensation for tech companies. Looking at just salary is an incomplete picture and also isn't fair for job-seekers. Fwiw this page has compensation data with break down by RSU, bonus, etc: https://www.levels.fyi/comp.html

>>In hindsight, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the riot was probably avoidable — if Batts had had more officers at his disposal, if his officers had been better trained, if there hadn’t been the seeming overreaction to Monday’s swirling rumors.

Or... If they didn't murder Freddy Gray.
