I like the article and I agree with the sentiment.

I think that self-hosting can be quite a bit of effort, but a tool like Ansible makes it so much easier.

Whatever you choose to do, the most important thing is that you create data(base) backups and store those in an environment that you can control at all times.

There needs to be a viable exit strategy, just a backup is not enough if it takes more time to restore operations/service than is viable from a business perspective.

Perform at least a risk analysis, whatever you choose, make it a conscious, deliberate decision.
Perl was dead long before Ruby on Rails was a big thing (Ruby itself was effectively moribund until Rails).
I'd be surprised if the SIM works on anything other than a special APN set up for Progressive.
Occasionally, yes? It remains unhelpfully melodramatic to talk about layoffs as equivalent to murder.

Our society has a variety of safety nets to prevent this from being the case. It might need more or better safety nets! You can make this case! Nevertheless, I would opine that it works better when this happens at the government level (paying someone unemployment insurance) rather than at the firm level, for a variety of reasons.
“bill gates saw this coming in 2015“

Let’s not make Gates the hero here. Most people working on infectious diseases knew about these problems.
Please don't fear-monger. There is nothing wrong with the supply chains. The shelves you've seen empty in pictures are generally full again the next day.

The problem of people not having money to buy said products is less far-fetched, but still:

- As other here have pointed out, we've seen worse in our history, and nothing like what you describe played out

- We have so much wealth as a country and it's just a problem of figuring out how to get it to the right people. Yes, there are bumbling idiots making decisions and there are selfish bad-actors still trying to pad their pockets every chance they get. But when the rubber meets the road, this is too big for anyone to simply isolate themselves financially. The 1% are having their assets tank too. Our fates are bound. And when our country somehow manages to get everyone on the same side - even for the wrong reasons - we're really good at doing whatever needs to be done to solve the problem.
> hings to avoid being dead are essential.

Things to protect physical and mental health even short of imminent risk of death are essentkial.
It has nothing to with semantics. If you reread the OP's original comment they state:

>"The problem is that the west has nobody in power with living memory of a pandemic."

And that is not true. And this HIV/AIDS is particularly relevant because Dr Deborah Birx was chosen as response coordinator for the White House Coronavirus Task Force because of her work on a previous pandemic, that of HIV/AIDS.
I believe there are issues and serious ones at that. The lawyers at the FSF seem to agree:

There was a recent thread asking about this kind of dashboard:

Lots of very good resources there.
But, you can't have targeted ads without some database out there tracking everything you do. A database that is ostensibly used to get information to you that you might find interesting, but in reality has been used for much worse, according to the article: proliferation of hateful and false content on social media & political manipulation, among others. This data is also an valuable target for ID thieves.

The ads themselves aren't the problem here, nor is it really what's being discussed.
Unless they have no other choice to buy from, they enter the shop by their own terms and can leave any time.

Unless you're trying to say that the consumer didn't consent to have messages being displayed around him, and this is just once again too broad... the solution would be any media (or for the sake of simplicity, any surface) would need to be plain white with no text. Walls, shelves, windows, clothing of staff, even products on display.
Note that the Atari playing system is what got Google interested in buying Deep Mind (the company behind it). It was a pretty significant advance on the state of the art at the time.

We know that sunshine is carcinogenic.

I got stung real bad by ovh when they advertised kimsufi servers they didn't have, then failed to communicate timescales, eventually delivering about 2 months late. That box wasn't for anything important, but it made me not trust thier other services.
The Catholic Church accepts both, so I think you might be mistaken. They believe its divinely inspired, but that doesn't really change the science. Now, some of the American Protestant churches are a different story.

I always wonder how Genesis 1:26 would work without evolution and genetics?
I've been wondering this for years as well. I don't understand what make IoT a big deal. Why do I want my fridge connected to the internet? Or my toaster, or whatever else? The only device I want connected is my cat feeder, or my coffee machine, so I can remote control them, or program their timing.
Yes! It wasn't until lunch when it dawned on me that viewed backwards it made a time dilation device. I fear the continuous version could not be reconciled with imaging optics, but for non-imaging applications it can slow down an event for more leisurely capture.
Thanks Quizz, I completely agree. From my experience that's a lesson that takes going through a few startups to finally break.

> Looking at what the US military has been doing with drones, that scenario doesn't seem that far fetched.

This scenario will remain science fiction until we invent a compact power source with an energy density (by both mass- and volume) matching fossil fuels.

The military has no use for loud and cumbersome petrol-powered monstrosities like Big Dog (which is why the project was axed) or underpowered robots with an endurance that's measured in minutes (like Spot) in combat scenarios.

Once such power source is available, though, the independence and versatility of a human in power armour would still be far superior to a remote controlled robot that can be hacked or have its comms jammed with COTS equipment...
Sounds good, doesn't it? But you have to have a really, really low false positive rate for this to work out. This is already a problem with mammography:

Can you observe the difference as a programmer? Through things like the stack-trace? Then it's not an optimization.
You could have asked for permission or given feedback before using my CV design as a bad example on your site. At least you thought of anonymizing it.

Rouge state? Do you mean like invading sovereign nations? Without being provoked? Without declaring war prior to invasion? And ultimately killing thousands of civilians in the process?

Iraq and Afghanistan - who got super power'ed twice - would certainly agree with you. But their most recent concerns are not Russia.

p.s. The USA has quite a history of election meddling as well.
Thanks for your interest Mizzao. Svelte is a cool project, and the discussion RE buildtime vs runtime raise some great questions RE trade-offs. What I would say is that neither project would be the right choice for every use case. Svelte is very feature rich and provides more of a “batteries included” framework approach, whereas Synergy has a much smaller feature set and scope which leaves flexibility and choices in other areas. In this sense, Synergy is easier to compare feature-by-feature with a library of smaller scope such as Preact.
Except we know some of them did disappear, either washed away in storms or carted away by whoever.
I think MS does mention CMPXCHG16B as part of the system requirements for Win8.1. This affected the older DDR1 K8 CPUs (before mid-2006) the most. I wonder if adding 16-byte atomic operation support required HyperTransport protocol changes.
They all use the exact same model of ball, they're just not carried around by league officials to every game.
Another Company doing similar stuff is Stasis Labs. They're more focused on the low end (they're targeting small hospitals in India), but they have the potential to be huge

There were better justifications back then though. Stuff ran on completely different hardware and layers of abstraction weren't really workable. Some of the BASIC was more or less compatible but then again most stuff was machine code and BASIC was usually just the OS's terminal and bootloader of sorts.

One could not reasonably expect the same software to work unchanged on a MOS 6502 based computer like the VIC or the Apple ][ and in a Z80 based computer like the TRS-80. And there were many more differences at the hardware and ROM-kernel level that made cross-platform software largely unworkable.
You cannot take one sentence by Stallman and ignore all the rest, Stallman has a year long history of trivializing child rape. This is not about one sentence discussing the age of consent (which in my opinion has little place in a discussion about a child rape and trafficking ring, but that’s debatable)
Still maybe from a legal standpoint and depending on countries it'll be better to download and locally test against a hashed set than to download the dump.

An adequately hashed set can be proved to be harmless because you can't revert to real data (as far as you know when downloading). Downloading the original set could be considered malicious by some governments (but idk/ not sure ianal).
Hit "CTRL" and "-"! You will be amazed to find the page shrink, and the font alongside it!

I personally like it around 67%.

I'd prefer most sites have smaller fonts; there's no need to complain about it, though, because browsers allow you to make text smaller pretty easily, as long as the site doesn't go out of its way to deny you that.
Estimates are here to fail, but they're nonetheless crucial:

* set an estimate, you'll deliver in 1.5x your estimate
* don't set an estimate, you're losing total control over delivery (rarely for the better, even though that may happen)

In other words, estimates are not a tool of delivery planning, but of risk management : they are here to help limit time dilation.
Your comment makes it seem like it’s impossible for Amazon to determine you exceeded the threshold until after you exceeded it. Why couldn’t it work like rate limiting does but for resource consumption not just requests per X time?
My argument is more subtle than that.

I'm arguing that Tasker/Termux users aren't really your normal power users at all. Instead they are hackers, and would be satisfied by any form of stitching bits together to accomplish some task.

If Tasker/Termus didn't exist they'd be equally happy accomplishing the same things with custom hardware sensors or carrying a RPi around or whatever. They aren't actually doing anything useful with the software that couldn't be accomplished slightly less conveniently in other ways - the joy of the hack is the accomplishment.

When you view it like this, the market satisfaction argument looks different.
> To be clear, I am not defending what RMS said, but "defending child rape" is oversimplifying and over exaggerating his position.

He explicitly supported a political campaign that aimed to immediately reduce the age of consent to 12 and ultimately eliminate it, on the basis that sex acts that were “consensual pedophilia” was not only not an oxymoron, but also something that wasn’t harmful.

(He also raised questions about rhe factual guilt of someone accused of nonconsensually sexually exploiting an Epstein-trafficked young woman, but that wasn’t where he defended child rape.)
Non native english speaker, in this case is 'Airborne' transmission meant to mean the same as transmission through aerosol particles?
My experience is just one data point but:

My expertise is not at all anything related to web development so when I first tried experimenting with AWS for a side project I was terrified. It was an experiment for me and i didn't care if it deleted the data since the data it was storing was test data I was uploading. However, my budget for my entire side project was $500 and it seemed totally feasible (at least to a first time user of such a service) that some wrong lines in the code could balloon the requests or storage I made. At the time, I didn't even have $5000 of liquid assets and it would have been a nightmare.
Not sure about Google, but Azure has it with some subscription types but not all.

You can attack WEP with active attack that defeats the encryption in a matter of seconds. The only thing you need to remember about WEP is just don't use it.
Float's aren't that bad, other than the fact that the parent element will suddenly lose any inherent height if all child elements have floats.

> But then why bother using it at all? Do they assume that no one malicious could ever get into my account (for argument's sake)? ... instead of being charged $700 for hardware and Windows Vista DVDs

You're making an awful lot of assumptions you shouldn't be making.

First, 3DS doesn't provide you any more security than you really had before. It helps the merchant secure their transactions, however. But even if someone did charge $700 to your card, it's an easy phone call to get it resolved. Not only this, but I'm sure Newegg would require another check if something was amiss with the transaction. Any sizable operation will work to make sure that legit users can make purchases as fast as possible with as little hassle, but that doesn't mean it's not verifying things in the background.

So why would Newegg use 3DS? Simple. They want to verify that a new account is who they say they are, and not a stolen card. You're a legit user. You make a purchase. Next time you come back, you'll probably be making the purchase using the same billing address and the same shipping address. Even if you didn't make the order, you'll call up Newegg to complain, and they'll work to refund the order and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

But you as a cardholder have always been safe. A simple call to the bank, and "No, I don't recognize the transaction" and you get your chargeback and you owe no money. However, with 3DS, you can't just say it wasn't you. If the merchant doesn't provide the service, then yes, you can still get it. 3DS for legit users prevents them from committing friendly fraud.
Does grant-funded research count? Until last year I was working on http://esphealth.org full-time, and it's all GPL.
Salvatore Sanfilippo, creator of Redis, has been hired by VMWare to work on Redis full-time. The development pace surged as a result. Joyent did the same with Ryan Dahl, creator of Node.js

It’s possible, but keep in mind that those two are great developers, not everybody can do what they did.
I think it's important for students to have critical self-feedback alone. The problem with tests (generally) is that it's feedback for the student (which is good) but also feedback for the teacher, with grades with implications. So basically you have to get everything the first time, and to pace and time that is tricky.

I do like your approach, as it does not penalize you for trying hard, even if you reach deadends, or made some assumptions that can be sniffed out easily by a test. My physics professor did a variation of this sort, where the final consists of all the topics, and your previous test grades gets overwritten by the final if the final grade is higher.
Agree with your point, but just wanted to clarify that Nintendo do not make a loss on the Wii.

Since when is education about only learning the things that a student, in their current ignorance, project they'll need far into the future? Trig and calculus are trivial, learn them. (I'd argue that a solid understanding in both would make personal finance a lot better a subject too.) In any case, my high school offered all of those classes, with personal finance being required and trig being taught along the way in several required math courses.
Perhaps I am nitpicking here - but it's "weird" not "wierd".

Also, I am not sure rewording the title added any value. The title of the article IMO was just fine - See http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The vast majority of 'anti-disinformation' campaigns are not restricted to, or even concentrated around, the scenario you have given.

Yes, I do. Do you have an idea on what the default Y-Axis could be?
I think it would be a lot more ethical if you presented it openly as such, right from the start. For example, the big button at the bottom of the page could say, "Subscribe to our interview-of-the-week series!"
I worked for a company that offered an unlimited X. A startup used us to host some of their X, and literally uploaded a thousand times more data than any other user.

That is why those things end up in contracts.

Someone is going to attempt to upload a pb of photos to amazon, and amazon is saying unlimited, but for personal usage (threshold quite possibly judged on a case-by-case basis), but doesn't include free storage of pbs of pictures.

At the end of the day, users need to be somewhat reasonable about what they expect from a $60/year service.
Unfortunately, you must rescue yourself from yourself. You are not judging yourself on the same scale that you are using to judge everyone else. You are being critically harsh on yourself, holding yourself to standards that you don't expect from others. If you learned something once, you have proven something far more important than remembering the specifics of the problem. You have proven that you have the capability to think critically and solve a problem. That is far more valuable than remembering the nuances of some domain specific technologies. Stop comparing yourself to others and realize that you can be anything you want to be.
Well, I suppose I might want to try something like Coding the Matrix: Linear Algebra through Applications to Computer Science, or a book on games programming -- if I was trying to interest the kid in math and CS subjects.

For fiction, it's damned hard to say. My own personal top influences in fiction form were the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane and, weirdly, the anime/manga Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It's actually very, very hard to find good fiction for kids, since you're trying to inspire or teach rather than just entertain. Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching arc is good for younger kids, with the later books having the star character as a young teen.

For nonfiction that isn't just math/science/technology, how about the Communist Manifesto?
Probably one of the most important things overlooked with the embed is responsiveness. Most embeds have width=100% to fit in the outside container, but FB does not do this. Hopefully they'll adopt it.
That's not true, YC could just have a bad batch, or the economy could be in a serious downturn in 2020.

In my opinion the main thing that you need to do is get out there, meet people and make friends with them. All those conferences and lunches will pay off in the long run, and probably give you a lot of opportunities for work down the line. If you are really serious I also suggest that you go to the state department's page, and register an LLC so that you can start getting tax benefits for work related purchases. If you are interested in my story of how I've started out freelancing as a college student myself you can read it after the jump.

Here are some good resource websites:
http://freelanceswitch.com
http://workawesome.com

I go to an art and design college so it is probably easier for me to get connections for work, but here is what I've done as a student. Making friends with staff and faculty has been of a huge benefit to me. I've gotten a couple small jobs, a work study and an internship simply by being friendly to other people in my major, and staff at the school. A teacher in my program who I took a two classes with saw an art piece I did (web design related) at an exhibition in the schools gallery space, and referred me for a flash job similar in nature to another client of his that he didn't have time to complete. I got a work study at my school's in house design firm as a referral from a student in my program who knew my skill set. I also got an internship this summer in NYC as a result of being casual friends with one of the study abroad staff. In the spring I attended a Flash Developer's conference, and made connections with several people there, and one of them whom I'm communicating with now seems like a really promising opportunity for some contract work.
