"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting a Backblaze B2 account, and scheduling a cron job to backup to it via RClone. From Windows or Mac, this Backblaze account could be access through built-in browser software"
Awesome, and we can resume doing that--assuming it needs doing--once we've stamped out the repeated cases of some random person being pulled over for the "crime of DWB" with a few thousand dollars in his car being taken by the local police department because he "looked guilty."

>There's an incredible amount of bad programming on today

Well, Sturgeon's Law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law

The crap today is crap in different ways from older television but I'd argue what's good is very, very good. And frankly, if you can give me a handful of hours of quality television a week, I'm happy. Give me much more than that and I'm not going to watch it anyway. If there's a greater percentage of poor TV today, it's probably because there are more time slots that need to be filled cheaply but whether it's 99% crap or 99.9% crap doesn't really affect me.

I never got into Big Bang Theory and have pretty much lost my taste for sitcoms generally in any case. I'm not sure I'd even get into Seinfeld today although it was pretty much a cultural touchstone at the time.
The majority of the consumer energy prices in Europe go to taxes. Here in the Netherlands, average rates are around €0.22/kWh, which breaks down into €0.12 energy tax, €0.04 VAT and €0.06 electricity.
Old rubber midsoles definitely crumble - I personally had some 20-year-old trainers crumble while wearing them.

New plastic foam midsoles don’t crumble, but the glue that attaches them to the other parts of the shoe still does.
But the power to mindlessly gamble must be democratised!
>The learning never stops :)

Totally. I wrote a book on it, and I still keep learning :)

>Is this how SnipMate, UltiSnip etc work under the hood?

No idea, I don't use these. I'm generally trying to use as few plugins as possible.
You didn't specifically list where you're based, but worth checking local laws. Some places have requirements for on-call work and companies simply get around it because most employees don't know.
> decimates the market for advanced private care of the level you have in the US.

They're often getting very expensive, but not very good, treatment that do not lengthen life nor improve quality of life. Sometimes these treatments reduce length of life or quality of life.
Missed that somehow. Available on Youtube in India however -

Also, having now watched the whole film, I couldn't quite fathom why it was banned in the first place!
A jobsite has different and looser standards of professional conduct than what the police should be generally held to, yes.
Actually it is more interesting than that. That "surprising strategic insight" was not simply a result of brute force, but a result of a bug that threw Kasparov off balance:

>>Columbus did underestimate the size of the Earth by about a factor of 2

>>Columbus wasn't right, he was lucky.

If Columbus had estimated it right, the sheer magnitude of task would have overwhelmed him from even trying.

Getting into the game even by foolishness increased his chances of getting lucky by huge margin compared to the sailor who was sitting back at home in Spain.

There is this fairly efficient 10-level parking garage in Philadelphia, Arch Street. It is essentially two 10-floor towers connected at the top. They saved room by making driveways one-way. So you enter, you have to drive 10 floors up, drive across the roof, and then drive 10 floors down to the exit. You can park wherever along the way, but you always end up driving all the way up and down.
AMC is a better example, they offered new shares while the price was 3 or 4x of their lows
Programming is very faddish. It's amazing how bad commonly used technologies are. I'm so happy I'm mostly a native developer and don't have to use the shitty web stack and its shitty replacements.
I use Gunnar glasses for gaming, and sometimes coding. The yellow tint from the glasses might help?
I've had a family member take a swig of gasoline from an old beer bottle while working on a car.
Ofcourse, everything runs on servers. Question is, who owns and maintains the hardware.

The link you shared just says they manage their OS layer, ofcourse they do. Everyone running on AWS VMs is responsible for their own OS layer. Wether they want precise control over their OS doesn't change their preference for who owns and manages the hardware..
Sounds like the Air Force still needs the F-20 Tigershark
(killed by Ft. Worthless Jim Wright to protect the F-16 from competition) to bail out the F-35 Trillion Dollar Turkey.

The F-20 may have been the last time an aircraft company ever pitched an airplane developed on the company's money. Despite being highly praised by all who flew it (including Chuck Yeager), it's ugly demise at the hands of politics (it was less than half the price of the F-16) was an example to all to never do this again...
The leap you make to punish someone is much further than the one you take to protect yourself, i.e. locking your own device away for a moment.

People also keep their money in stocks, real estate and precious metals. Precious metals specifically were used at some point as a currency, but that's no longer the case. Bitcoin, like the dollar, it's just another "layer of indirection".

I have the reclaimthenet.org feed in my RSS reader.
I see your point - however I read from it that the author was more referring to the load/level of activity on the server that your requests make should be indistinguishable from human traffic.

IE if the server's log files have 100's of requests from the same IP address in successive lines then that doesn't look like human behavior.

What would have been nice for a 'best practice' document would be to show how to set the HTTP AGENT string for the crawler so that it had an identifier, version number and some contact method.
As a complete aside from most of the conversation happening here..

The ISS uses mainly circular polarisation in their radio communications because horizontal flips to vertical in a range of 15 minutes, relative to position over the Earth (90 minute period).

A horizontal antenna _can_ receive a vertically transmitted signal, with a 22 dBi loss. The reverse is also true. However, if a vertical or horizontal antenna receives a circularly polarised radio signal, the loss is only 3 dBi.*

Spoken as a user and experimenter of amateur radio.

* And I also found a link showing experimental loss when one receives a wrong "handedness" of circular polarisation. There is a clockwise and counter-clockwise polarisation as well. Theoretical maximum loss is also around 22 dBi, the same if you used a vertical to receive a horizontal.

So far, the types are: Horizontal, Vertical, CW circular, CCW circular, CW elliptical, CCW elliptical. Admittedly, I have never done anything with elliptical, but is noted here for completeness.
I did this about three (or four, maybe? I forget) months ago. I actually feel happier. More focused.

I guess the tipping point for me was seeing an image. I can't find it anymore (it's lost in my tumbleblog somewhere). It was split horizontally, like a comic book; the top pane was Assange, the bottom was Zuckerburg.

Assange's photo was labeled: "I take private corporate and government secrets and make them freely public, and I'm a criminal."

Zuckerburg's was labeled: "I take your private social information and sell it to corporations for profit, and I'm Time's man of the year."

Pretty much got me right there...
I'm disappointed; I thought he meant that he was an ex-FB employee. That would make for juicy insider gossip.
Right, the TIFF creators were obviously inspired by the Hitchhikers Guide.
Keto only does authorization, independent of users, devices, bots, applications, ... Basically you store your ACLs there and then ask "is _subject_ allowed to do _relation_ on _object_". All the variables are whatever you define them to be.

It entirely depends on the culture. In my career I've worked in test centric environments, and I've worked in places were testing was nearly forbidden. You can guess which ones generally run smoother. Some places just really care about cranking code out the door, and the people in charge don't realize how badly they're shooting themselves in the feet. It's more common than you'd think.

But I agree with everything you're saying, which is why I try to get into more test centric cultures when job hunting.
It's a concern, yes, but also useful functionality. Two examples from other software: OpenSSH AFAIR logs every keystroke when in high enough log levels (and accordingly warns that using DEBUG1-DEBUG3 log levels violates user privacy). Postfix will log user passwords if asked to do so.

Having multiple levels of DEBUG like OpenSSH or extra options like postfix probably is a good idea, and as is printing an explicit warning if started with such log levels.
Just a very common use case for jQuery selectors is the :even and :odd extension, used to apply classes to table rows in order to alternate shading to make them easier to read.
It is more specific than the others, but a majority of my readers are web developers, so I thought my bias for this book would be shared and welcome.
"cute little games to show off to his friends"

Just you, javascript, and a canvas tag. No CSS, PHP, or further HTML required.

The biggest impetus to my programming excitement as a kid was how hard it was to share what I'd done with my friends. A website is the easiest way to share a program I've ever known.

Javascript is a very simple and forgiving language. Basic might be easier to learn, but I've never seen any evidence for this. I know I found it incredibly tricky, in hindsight largely due to limitations and design errors in the language.
I had explored these during college, believing I would see an increase in productivity given keeping one hand on keyboard and one on mouse at all times.

Personally it was quite difficult to adjust and I ended up abandoning the project. But I found the keyboard well made and well laid out.
Aranet4 CO2 sensor. Does what it's supposed to and that's it.

No. I think making decisions only on the basis of other players has driven gamestop. That is what a squeeze is. That play style, action only ever taken in relation to other players, is how cryptocurrency markets work.
Pretty sure the Iraq War was the biggest stain on US credibility. Also there's a strong argument that the US support of Israel's occupation of Palestine (and by that I mean Israeli rightwing government, not the many good and courageous Israelis who fight for peace) is the next biggest stain on US credibility in international relations. It's been the single most consistently pointed to example of US hypocrisy that has run for decades. Consistently pointed to by radical Islamic preachers who wise to push people towards violence. Saudi of course is a closely followed third.
This is one of those nerdbait topics. Every tunnel in the rabbit warren splits into more and everyone ends up arguing with themselves about completely disparate topics.

Does money have a nationality? / If you owe the bank a million, it owns you. If you owe the bank a billion, you own the bank. Does that apply here? / Taking money from morally questionable people... what about X? / Is Saudi Arabia going to liberalize? Will there be a republican revolution? Do monarchies suck? / Islamic banking? / Foreign shareholders = censorship?

Down in my tunnel... I'm getting kind of fascinated by these sovereign wealth funds. Norway, being democratic and having a better run wealth fund, is a better example. The last 15 years of bull markets have been sort of fraught. Government and personal debts got big, as asset prices grew. Sovereign wealth funds give the government/public a stake... and countries that have these are in very strong positions.

It makes so much more sense to hold stocks and bonds than gold and forex... maybe. That way, national treasuries finance real economic activity.

In an adjoining tunnel someone is worried about malinvestments.
> You may realize you've wasted your life in jail because you hired a bad lawyer.

I thought parent's argument is that you get thrown into jail because you didn't hire any lawyer. It's not that you got a bad lawyer, it's that you must hire one to defend yourself in the first place. Thus there is an always growing need for lawyers, bad or good.
I would say that what you're saying is the typical retail perspective, this view is common.

Market price and intrinsic value are different concepts. Google Aswath Damodaran's writing on this topic. When GameStop was $400, the price was well above intrinsic value for example so I knew it would gravitate down.
Part of the emission trading concept is to reduce the number of certificates in circulation overtime to increase the energy saving incentive („cap and trade“). The government can do this by buying certificates or reducing the amount free certificates assigned every year. The details are a bit more complicated but were implemented already over ten years ago in the European Union. There is simply no need for an additional carbon tax if this scheme is maintained well.
i know we could, but why would we? I am starting to see more and more of these types of extensions that are things I am not sure why we'd want to have in..a code editor? do people actually install these sorts of things?
Just finished watching "Bullit". It would be amusing to edit the soundtrack to replace the Charger and Mustang V-8 notes with the whir of a couple electric motors. It would be sort of strange to see the tire smoke and hear the squeal of rubber along with an electric motor.
I think people like excuses to drive SUVs. I had a friend who drove an SUV and talked about the safety and space needs. But the SUV had worse safety and space than many sedans, wagons, and hatchbacks. I always thought it curious about why they would cover up whatever the reason was for driving an SUV but was never able to talk about it because they got deflective and defensive.
> So it goes up by $1 or $15, how does that hurt non-profits?

In the aggregate, that's many, many millions of dollars going into Ethos Capital's pockets at the expense of charities and other non-profit organizations.

Who says it stops at $15, too?
"We don't really need any more technical breakthroughs for electric cars."

Did you misread the headline? They are ending all non electric racing. Presumably because they think we don't need any more technical breakthroughs for ICE cars, but we do for electric cars.
Amazon Silk works the same way. I think it's the default browser for Kindle devices.

Well in the US. That's only for public official, not for your average Joe. So if you are a security you can be sued. And actually the two security guard that didn't help the older asian lady were fired(in NY). For doing nothing. Meanwhile a cop could not be sued for the same thing...
haha. this is great. simple product.
Seeing the quadcopter take off at the end of this video really gets my imagination flowing.

I like the way this printer combines non-printed parts, such as chips and batteries, with printing the leads to hook them up.

I'm not as thrilled with the Autodesk tie-in -- I'm sure it makes for nice software, but I wonder if you'll have to purchase some sort of "premium" edition in order to do anything useful.
The numerous examples given are the automation and composition of basic operations.
Are there any anti virus for Linux that does that heuristic type scanning that you see on windows?

I presume there's some sort of security software in this space for servers
That’s “Gollum” (or possibly “Голлум”).
This probably varies hugely by industry/field/company, but what about when the metrics are nonsense? The metrics setters can also be incompetent(but think that they are competent!) and it’s probably a much larger issue than we think. For example, I work at a large multi billion dollar auto insurance company you have definitely heard of. One of the metrics is total losses settled with in 7 days as it correlates with higher customer satisfaction. However, they conflate correlation with causation: The customers were happier overall not because of the speed but because they were happier with the offer they received for the value of their vehicle and thus settled the claim quickly. Compared to the people who were unhappy with the offer and refused to settle their claim. This is something that is painfully obvious to those handling claims but goes right over the heads of the process and executive types. Just like the remembering their code from months ago metric in this article. I’m not even a programmer and I know that is not how it works.
The author does suggest tracking data. This seems like a good idea: when people get what promotions and raises, etc. This is to counterbalance our tendency to see what our bias wants us to see.
er, yes? How is an article like that pompous?
Perhaps initial traction/buzz just nets bigger with the "right" initial users. There's also execution details as well in the product itself.

But great q... maybe they just had the timing wrong?
When I moved from SF to Boston (after co-founding Inkling six years ago), the top two things I was worried about are a) a less pro-startup culture, and b) less available early-stage money.

This really doesn't help either point. We need more early-stage money here and more optimism, not less.
The first rule of being in business over the Internet is this:

Every bug report you get, you had better be damn thankful for. Each one represents an uncounted number of customers who just gave up on your product. Comcast is lucky this guy decided to document the precise way in which the system failed him; he gave them a roadmap for improving it.
How does your friend feel about it now?
it's certainly an interesting approach. offering a chance at an iPad could get people's attention and get them to take a deeper look at the opportunity than they would otherwise. balanced against that you'll almost certainly get a whole bunch of applications from people who aren't remotely relevant. so there may be other ways to spend the money more effectively.

in any case you might also want to combine it with in-person networking. not sure where you're living, but if there's a Startup Weekend or other similar events near you it's a great place to meet people and see if you click.
The compiler itself may introduce a fair amount of dead code related to temporary variables created during code generation, and some optimizations can reveal dead code that previously looked live.
Is this the kind of problem that a politician like ron paul can fix though? Thanks in great part to Reddit, Ron Paul is largely associated with crackpot ultra-libertarian Ayn Rand type movements, so anyone in the know would probably dismiss anything he does out of hand as "just a stunt move". Certainly, that's my first impression for his introduction of a bill with no political support and, as far as I understand the US legal system, zero chance of actually getting anywhere.

Now, if someone with some political credibility introduced a bill with support from other members of the House and Senate, that'd be worth pointing out. But as it is, this is no more "serious" than a good sketch on the Daily Show, is it?
On the other hand, authenticating users by their browser is like authenticating passengers by the car they're in.
I'm not talking about deflation. I'm just addressing your idea that "maybe there are also benefits if people only buy the stuff they actually need." I don't think that this would be a good thing at all. I make no comment about what might cause this to happen, only that it's not a desirable outcome.
Your government is subsidizing a large amount of the cost:

> Guess what, stupid, moron, idiot, etc used to refer to people with mental disabilities.

No, they were not. And despite what the "you get offended so quickly" mob says, "retarded" main meaning when used in a negative fashion against someone always, always appeals to the "that person/entity has the mental abilities of someone with Down syndrome or any other similar intellectual disability". And you, me and everybody else KNOW this. You just decided that this won't trouble you.
For example, in this post [0] he argues that a pinecone was cushioned by the snow and that's why it didn't bounce off the rail. But he fails to notice that there's the same amount of snow on the rail and on top of the pinecone. Instead of his hypothesis, what I think probably happened was that the pinecone bounced on the deck and then up to the rail, where it was before the snow started falling. It's not a matter of looking at objects vs processes like he claims, it's a matter of looking at what objects (in this case, the snow on top of the pinecone) can tell us about processes.

> The key to Google's dominance is not the fancy software or the ranking algorithms, but the sheer size of the index, said Zack Maril, a Washington DC software engineer who recently briefed US government investigators on Google's search monopoly.

Why is the ranking not that important? Index all you want but if the ranking is done poorly that's a bad user experience. Or is the state of the art in information retrieval good enough and thus, doesn't cost much?
Feels to me like the intention of selling the gas is to offset operational costs until a carbon market for sequestering it underground becomes available?
I would love a quality eink display to replace my iPad Pro for piano music. One reason I haven’t tried anything else is it has to be rock solid - crashing/locking up/etc during a gig would be terrible. The iPad (with a Bluetooth pedal for page turns) hasn’t let me down yet.
