This! It seems to me the primary “productivity gains” are only due to the hell of open office designs and that these gains would not exist if offices were laid out in a more humane way with cubicles or offices for people to work in. So everyone got excited to lose all the benefits of working in an office (in-person communication versus Zoom!) only because of fictional productivity gains. What we really need is the pendulum to swing back to offices closer to 2000 versus this travesty we found in the late 201x’s.
WFH is remuneration - being able to move to a cheaper area can offer an effective 2x or 3x pay increase.
I try to, but I guess it depends what you mean by “really understand” — I’m happy so long as I know about the product logic, but @pjc50 has said of themselves something along the lines of “full stack at every level from the transistor to the UI” or similar (I can’t find a link to the actual comment, they post too much for that).
The majority of money moving today doesn’t seem to need an additional system.
That's a narrative meant to push a bailout of hedgefunds - translated - "they're too big to fail, market will crash"
Congrats on your setup. I am struggling to get a similar workspace myself, but I constraint by money, space and family situations.
That's different too, of course. Everything is %v. Just use %v.
They have a neat "registered" tier now which lets you use your own domain with mailinator but restricts it so that only you can see the mail: http://mailinator.com/featurematrix.jsp It's got some limits, but I've never hit them.
I have a few comments/questions about the post:

1) Why is a mobile phone random number generator good enough to generate encryption keys, but not good enough to generate one time pads? What extra weaknesses do one time pads expose?

2) For their 2nd point, Zendo has said that the pad exchange happens locally ( device to device ). So you would need to be in the room to eavesdrop. So the transport mechanism they choose there is a little bit less of a risk I think.

3) Their 3rd point also doesn't seem to be that big enough of a deal to warrant the tone... if sha256 is broken, a man in the middle would be able to corrupt messages, but not in a meaningful way ( ie switching yes to no ), it would just look like garbage to the other person...

I think #1 is probably the biggest issue, I'd like to understand it a bit more.
Audible: Wait for sales.

Also, Downpour offers many of the titles Audible has, often for much less, and DRM-free.
> I no-shit-know someone who had no problem taking back fresh from the ground annual flowers to Home Depot at the end of the season for a refund.

And when he did, they asked him for his driver's license. There's an annual limit to how much you can return without a receipt. Home Depot doesn't care so much, because if you're returning things that way ... they're just giving you store credit. You're going to have to buy something again and eventually, you'll end up spending lots of money there. It works out for them in the long run.
Awesome system - well worth the wait - changing how we manage CMS's
Yes I use Migrator.NET as well. Works pretty well for us (no active development on this project though - there are github forks now).

I definitely cannot afford Red Gate's prices until funding.

Slow down, there is no bad precedent here since black/gray SEOs know the risk when they falsify WHOIS data. Domain seizure for falsifying WHOIS has gone on for a long time. Every registrar reminds you of it constantly and it is your responsibility to keep it updated. There is not much active checking either (if any) and in my experience domains are only taken if they are actually reported through WDPRS and even then it is a long shot.

I dont think GoDaddy would suspend a domain without repeatedly trying to contact the registrant either and if they do, time to move. Make sure the e-mail details at your registrar and on your domains actually work, respond to them, and you should be fine.

This makes a case for not having your domain registration e-mail be handled by that domain too
It's really funny with BLUE APRON HOLDINGS INCA.
The challenge to building a screening app is that there is no universal screening criteria (more on this in a bit). Moreover, the criteria has been changing by the day. For this MVP, we decided to stop chasing a moving target. We did the next best thing: link to the testing criteria that a location is using (to the extent that the information is publicly available).

Early in the process of sourcing data for this project, we realized that the CDC guidelines are used as a starting point, and that other factors come into play that are less transparent to the public. For example, there are still many states with extremely limited capacity. In those areas, public health departments have been forced to create lists of patients that would be tested immediately if it were possible. Lacking sufficient testing capacity, they prioritize the list of persons under investigation (PUI) using criteria that they develop internally through a collaborative effort with key stakeholders.

On our site, you will note that there are pockets of the country with lots of testing options. But that doesn't mean that testing is easy to come by. We learned that those areas are enriched for academic medical centers and large hospital systems that have been granted FDA approval for their own (custom) version of the COVID-19 test. Through strategic partnerships with community-based medical groups that predate the pandemic, patients in the broader community benefit from direct access to testing services. But the the problem has resurfaced: the demand for testing is already exceeding supply, and we witnessed the turnaround time for test results grow from 4 hours -> 12 hours -> 24 hours -> 4-5 days since we began this project exactly 7 days ago.

Make no mistake about it: the testing problem is far from resolved. Screening tools are a stopgap designed to lessen the mental anguish experienced by those who are tasked with rationing a (literally) vital resource. We will continue to explore ways to incorporate them into our project, but will approach the decision mindful of our commitment to empower everyone with the information they need to flatten the curve. To the extent that screening tools have thus far played a role in obfuscating where we are on the curve, you can rest assured that, if a screening tool finds its way onto our site, it will serve a greater purpose for a greater number of people.
Are large companies your target market?
We've been discussing these questions recently on the #covid19 channel of the HN Tokyo Slack [0] - all the same sort of points raised as below - but nobody knows for sure.

There was an outbreak in Hokkaido a few weeks ago and that was the Japan hotspot for a while. The governor there quickly declared a state of emergency and that was brought under control - if you believe the official figures that is.

The best Japan tracker that I've seen is here [1]. From that you can see that there have been 16 deaths in 愛知 (Aiichi - prefecture capital is Nagoya) but only 141 cases as of now. Assuming deaths have an approximately average lag of 3 weeks from infection and an about 1% death rate, 16 deaths would translate to very approximately 1,600 deaths 3 weeks ago. As the general Japan is upwards, even according to official figures, there are probably several thousand cases in Aiichi today.

For new cases, in the last few days Tokyo is ahead.

Also, the government has given schools to reopen in April [2] . If that happens, cases may start rising sharply.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3M -:

3M's general offices, corporate research laboratories, and some division laboratories in the US are in St. Paul, Minnesota. In the United States, 3M operates 80 manufacturing facilities in 29 states, and 125 manufacturing and converting facilities in 37 countries outside the US (in 2017).[66]

I don’t believe 3M would buy white-label products, they employ several hundred research scientists and have invented countless original products / innovations.
Lets clarify semantics.

Just use NVIDIA Broadcast. Filters out everything but talking.
Frankly it's a brilliant innovation, assuming that's the case. Applying new regulations quicker is definitely a moat in a heavily regulated environment, as long as it's not half-arsed
The GM process is there precisely to stop bugs like this malingbit into production. Who knows how many potential bugs it has stopped. You can't know.

To play the devil a bit, their process still needs some work, there isn't a good reason why they couldnt have released this patch in its own approval process simultaneously with a higher priority for staff to choose it over facetime.
Quite. The startup world can be very dangerous that way- when your definition of success is "being Mark Zuckerberg" then being anything less than a millionaire is "mediocre".

Your startup is statistically all but guaranteed to fail. Your life will be "mediocre" yet it will continue to be the kind of life that millions of people aspire to and are unable to reach. When looked at objectively, your life will be "pretty damn nice", no matter how much inner turmoil you feel about it.
Europe is such a tiny market, why would they even consider trying something like this out here :)

OK, then you want to get into the world of Digital Signal Programming, or DSP. Before you do so, be aware that this is a Hard Problem if you want to achieve more than the most basic results. The basic tool of DSP is the Fourier Transform, which allows you to convert a 1-dimensional signal in the time domain (such as an audio file) to a 2-dimensional signal in the frequency domain (such as a spectrogram aka graphic equalizer display). Many problems that look knotty or impossible in the Time domain are soluble with simple math in the Frequency domain. So you do an FFT, modify or analyze your signal, and then do another FFT if you want to convert it back to an audio stream.

This is a really excellent starter book that you can also download for free: http://www.dspguide.com/ It's far better written than most other books on the field and will help you to develop an intuitive understanding of the fundamental math. Many books just say 'here's the math,' without discussing why it works or why you would want to do it one way rather than another. Many more cover DSP from the point of view of radio or wireless communication - although the same principles apply here as for audio, it's somewhat confusing. This book is very audio-friendly.

The state of the art in pitch extraction from usic recordings is Celemony's Melodyne: http://www.celemony.com/cms/ The company was started in the mid-90s by a German audio geek named Peter Neubäcker with his wife and a programmer. He says in interviews that he's using a different approach based on the shape of sounds, but has never published his methods. I've met him a couple of times at conferences and trade shows, but he knows how to keep a secret! However, you'd be well advised to try out the demo version of his software. How he does is it is a mystery, but he's way, way ahead of any commercial or academic methods.

If you like Matlab, this is the best academic work on the task so far: http://isophonics.net/content/reverse-engineering-mix and you should also grab a copy of Sonic Visualizer, which is a slow-but-flexible analysis tool: http://isophonics.net/SonicVisualiser Be sure to follow up the links on the Isophonics site, which will lead you to a rich variety of libraries and tools for audio programming.
Is that a Mac on the floor across the street?
Not to mention placing calls. That's a huge part of the interface.
I'm in Canada. Initiating a pull request is basically what I do (for free) when I deposit a check, but there's no way to do it electronically (at least, not through the online banking website).
I can see this coming : in the news, facebook recycles google's open source wave protocol. In reply, Google closes wave protocol.
Do you have a spammer on your friend list? If not then you shouldn't see spam.
Form data (which is what the original poster asked about) arguably _is_ tabular data, containing both header and data cells. I use the table header (<th>) tag for form labels and the table data (<td>) for form fields all the time. (Although it is marginally better not to do so, if your design allows it.)

The dogmatic view, that marking up your document with as few, strictly semantic tags as possible is ideal, has died down in recent years. I advocate the following approach: create your design and initial as-semantic-as-possible HTML. Starting doing the CSS, you run into problems that a table would help with? Either adapt the design, or just put in the table -- your guiding light should be semantic markup is great, but it isn't worth adding hard-to-maintain HTML/CSS hacks to your design in order to keep your markup perfect.

In otherwords, HTML/CSS hacks are worse than some bad markup here and there.

Always keep in mind that the HTML/CSS revolution was a _blogging_ movement. Usually keeping the markup strictly semantic is easy for a blog, as blogs are textual documents -- the type of data that and HTML/CSS were originally designed for.

I personally mainly work on web applications (think lots of buttons and forms), HTML/CSS perform far worse in this context. And I've wasted a lot of time extrapolating what is good advice for a blog to web applications were it can be terrible advice.
It'd be a misuse of wherever I put the info. The metadata I want to preserve about my music collection is a superset of the metadata that iTunes provides for.
You pay bills?

Bills are going the way of the fax machine. They'll probably always be around but for most people dealing with a bill will elicit a reaction of the "A fax? Why don't you just send it over on a dinosaur?" variety.

I don't know anyone in their 20s that hasn't automated almost every payment. (For some reason the electric company won't allow me to, they're the only ones that still send me bills.) Most of my stuff goes onto my credit card and my credit card pays itself out of my bank account. I just need to log in periodically and look at statements to make sure no one is screwing me over.

I don't want my personal inbox cluttered with crap like bills. The sooner we get rid of that stuff the better.

Caveat: That was all on a personal level. If you're running a business your inbox preferences change dramatically and that's ok. We don't to force everyone into a lowest-common-denominator middle ground.
Hi,

Nice project! What about adding example of sentences?
By resources I wasn't necessarily referring to calories consumed. I was thinking of something like stem cells or some other resource useful for repairing damaged tissues that might be deliberately restricted or "turned off" by the body as part of the process of shutting down overall growth.

The rate of aging seems to be tied to the rate of growth with slower growing organisms also aging more slowly so you might expect GH-deficient mice to live longer if it resulted in a slower rate of growth.

Hopefully turning growth back on for a short period of time would not result in the body actually growing larger in size. With luck, resources made available by new growth would go to repair tissues damaged by aging before initiating new growth.
This is essentially what college campuses do already, to some extent. My current apartment complex also hosts activities, movie nights, brings in nurses so residents can meet and ask about health problems. This is in addition to the playground, tennis/basketball court, computer room, gym, small theater, and other amenities that help to create a "community" atmosphere.

Also, I think a big reason this model is so "successful" is that people don't have much of an alternative. Really, would you _prefer_ to go to that sketchy-looking grocery store with the mayonnaise next to the cereal, if you had the choice of going a few blocks to a large supermarket? To be honest, I've never spent any time using my own apartment's amenities. I live in the city, because I want to be with people like me, not because I want forced socialization with people who just happen to live together.
What I'm saying is that the ten consecutive baskets make the spectators in the bleachers temporarily forget that they are watching a 60% shooter. Each consecutive basket takes them further and further into the delusion that what they are seeing is not random. And when the eleventh shot misses the basket, the jarring reintroduction of reality sends them looking for a reason "Why?" when the only real answer is "because."
It depends on how categorization works. If it works more like labels (ie, I can add a friend to multiple groups), then it works great. If you have to choose only one group for a friend, then it breaks down immediately.

And beyond that, privacy controls which allowed you to do "AND" type operators would make those even more useful. It's pretty easy to code, the hard part is a usable, intuitive UI, and I find it hard to believe that Facebook, with all their resources, can't come up with a way to solve that.

And plus, even if a minority uses a feature like that, it's important enough to provide, because user education will result in a gradual adoption.
I think that point about Apple being draconian is that Apple's marketing department wants you to believe that Apples ecosystem is "all unicorns and rainbows and happy developers skipping through the meadow." It's not necessarily an implicit claim that we are moving backwards (though Apple as a company may seem to be moving backwards in their transition computer -> mobile).
"fuss", not "fuzz"
They have been doing the same thing for next page string that you have to pass back to get the next page on an API request. Assuming this has been since the new API come about at least.
I skimmed to the bottom and read this:

"But game developers revel in pain.

The problem doesn't have to do with human rationality, but has to do with human subservience to authority.

The article mentions gI but that's 3 keystrokes (g, shift, i) when you can do 0i, and you probably want to know about 0 and i regardless, making the extra learning of gI unnecessary.

Unfortunately this doesn't help anyone because it's not as if by deleting gI from your memory you can more easily learn something else, but perhaps it's helpful for a future guide writer or perhaps someone knows why gI is useful.

Edit: The section "The Insane Expression Register" also doesn't make much sense to me. Why would I do this 'system("ls")' thing when there is '!ls'? Using vimscript instead of bash probably has advantages in, y'know, vim, but most people know their shell and probably very few people know vimscript (certainly not me) so I'm not quite clear on the advantages here.
Yes. The most successful crowdfunding scams deliver something to avoid retribution from the planforms, payment processors, and legal authorities. My advice is the same regardless.
And is there many cases of that happening yet? "There will be" worries me.
Yep, the tooling is still lagging a bit in this regard so just be prepared to deal with confusing errors (invalid image format, etc.) when multiarch isn't available. Docker's manifest command is useful to see if a container has ARM builds: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/manifes...
In all fairness, bash is...bash. PowerShell does a really good job of striking a balance between the ease of creating horrible hacked together monstrosities in bash with the ease of terrifyingly converting between data structures in python. It obviously doesn't live up to what it could be, but there's definitely something there.
I only listened to the first few minutes. I’m not a fan of podcasts or talk radio at all. I grew up in a household that followed Buddhist and Hindu teachings, even though I’m as white as it comes. I studied zen, buddhism, hindu beliefs, practiced martial arts, and even took chi-gong meditation courses.
I’m also an engineer and found that the zen achieved in programming to be as close to mindful bliss as I’ve found so far. Intent, purposeful, thought and actions.

That said, I collected several books by Thich Nhat Hanh that really helped me in my early 20s to shed the past, reduce self to its pure form, and approach each challenge with mastery. At least that was the idea. 20 years later, some of it worked, some of it didn’t.

I continue to conquer my mind, it’s an everlasting struggle with self. I just wanted to add that I do believe there is substance to these teachings. I don’t have the credentials to explain what that is, to me it’s just a feeling. I remember when I changed. I remember what I was before, who I was after.

If you haven’t done it, I highly, highly recommend martial arts (I studied Kung Fu) or Tai chi, or anything that can help you channel your mental gymnastics into a force for unlocking your mind.

Be like Neo in the Matrix.

Sadly, I haven’t found the secret to luck which is needed in varying doses to be a successful founder. I did find success, which is a result of dedication and hard work.
Well I'm not sure about the method. It's simply a list of upvoted pictures on r/cars and r/carporn

r/teslamotors has more than 1 million subscribers while r/ferrari has 32 thousands subscribers.

The Ford GT, the most popular car according to this method, doesn't even have a dedicated subreddit while many cars do so.
Michael Abrash' "Zen of Graphics Programming" has a good overview of many of the tricks used during that era: http://www.amazon.com/Zen-Graphics-Programming-Ultimate-Writ...

Leave the Bay Area, you'll afford a large house and car just fine.
You're essentially arguing for qualitative data instead of quantitative, but both together is usually where the money is. I agree that qualitative analytics are underestimatd because they're hard to do, but I also think that having quantitative analytics together with qualitative allows you to contextualize your numbers in ways that lead to insights you wouldn't have otherwise.

Also, after you've already reached product-market fit, it's important to take your product to its "local maximum".
I didn't mention this in my comment, but i use wayland on linux and i've found the touchpad experience to be nicer there compared to X11, even though both X11 and wayland sessions for Gnome use libinput. I don't know much about libinput to know why I feel a difference in my touchpad experience between X11 and wayland.
We don't keep stats on discarded registrations, and usually the spammer gives up or changes tactics when they realize what's going on. How exactly does this invalidate my thesis?
HTTP/2 is what you do if you're confined to using TCP. HTTP/3 is what you get if you use UDP to solve the same problems (and new problems discovered by trying it over TCP).
The fact that you are trying to reduce this to a false dichotomy between one of "the females in the culture primarily wear gold" (yes, "females" ) or "Jewelry is gender neutral" shows that you are not a serious person making a serious argument.

Your whole weird gender-role based argument is entirely unsupported and yes, gross.
Usually hermaphroditism means an organism can produce male or female gametes. For humans it meant they had ovarian and testicular tissue.
