Really bad coding on this site, it just put my tab on a infinite reload loop (configuration: Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix, CleanURLs, and Cookie Auto Delete blocking all third parties).
The weighted average price is 10.54¢ per kwh. In California it's 16. Both 5 and 35¢ are pretty poor estimates.
Another thing I noticed that adds to this point; the investors (well their tech DD people) seem to really push this. I have seen more and more teams not advancing to the next round because they wanted (with good reason imho) to engineer their own tech than 'just go with aws' blindly. AWS costing literally over 10x (that's lowballing, more often 20-30x and sometimes 100x) as much. As a startup, that's not always the best choice imho, but I see people getting forced into it as investors (again, their tech dd peeps) reason that it scales better than people (it does, but that's usually not needed at all at seed and even far beyond for many types of businesses) but in that, they lose sight of that these skilled people might not join at all because the money you could've paid them in the early days to get/keep them on board, now disappears into the cloud. It seems most investor's (here in the EU at least) dream to run companies with only MBA's and this is a solid step in that direction.
Works for me using Firefox 85.0.2 (Arch Linux).
You must have much higher humidity. Because 68F at 0 humidity is a little chilly even in a sweater. Right now it is -8F and my heater just clicked off set at 60F and I’m cold even under my electric blanket with a sweater on.
>Do you _think_ you need generics? then Go isn't for you.

FTFU ;-)
I would argue that those corpses(or whatever it is they do in med school) are quite important. I don't think any amount of "book-smarts" can override actual practical experience. At least for me, I can't imagine I would be able to write a program if I had read several books but never opened a code editor.
I believe it must be similar for doctors. Even if you read about lots of diseases and their symptoms, how do you go about diagnosing diseases with complex, overlapping attributes without any kind of experience besides what you read in a book to relate to?
Pretty easy to risk someone else's safety with lies from behind that alias, isn't it
> goes against easy to use

or just respect reasonable limits?

Does it make sense to destroy one feature for the illusion of having both?

Elements.io and telegram (to a much lesser extent) are safes. You place something there and it is locked. Signal, whatsapp, et al promise to be safes, but as soon as you place something, a hidden camera scan all the documents and print copies in a hidden printer at your home safe.

Would you trust that safe? would you still even call them safes? Yet some product manager/marketer convinced you that these are essential features for a "easy of use safe".
At least there's little chance of suffering ageism as a career COBOL technician.
Leaks don't change the fact they tried to keep it a secret. The article was published 9 months after they stopped releasing server source. And Marlinspike dismissed the MobileCoin work as "design explorations".[1]

From my admittedly very amateur reading about the bronze age, civilization and especially warfare was actually pretty advanced at that point (especially at the later stages). I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was a war room planning table type thing. Totally conjecture though.
It's counter-intuitive because the Silicon Valley mantra, if not dogma, is to venture where no one else has headed yet.

It would be much easier to fundraise if people saw competition as a healthy barometer for entrance. Google and the search engine is a famous example.
We talk to the piece of sand with lightning (USB Keyboard 5V interface), and then we hear its response back with lightning (HDMI Port interface). And somewhere in the middle, there's a source of lightning that's making it think on its own (Power supply and VRMs).

I had a Symbian UIQ phone years before the iPhone and it's remarkably similar in overall design. One big touch screen with no face buttons, rows of icons for launching apps, etc. All the pieces were really there.

But the Symbian OS itself was terrible; I coded for it and it was a mess. It was quite functional, didn't really crash, but it seemed like it achieved that through sheer effort and will rather than good design.
I've already seen one person in this thread taking "S+P" literally, and suggesting `bcrypt(cost, salt + pepper, password)`, which has a very obvious and critical problem. Other "peppering" schemes in the comments here also have significant weaknesses. So yes, even a simple idea like this is easy to botch in implementation -- even if the implementation is just a one-line change!
Sure, but then you have to find some place to put it. The house I'm living in is worth $25k, but the land it's on is worth $1.6m last I checked. It's not always about a place to put your things, it's about where to put the place to put your things.
Nah, this is me.

Sure, I think that's a fair clarification. I think about 98% of "Censorship" is due to vote brigading.

It doesn't feel like censorship until your particular cause or group or agency is the one that comes under the boot.

For example, this list of words autobanned from /r/technology made me very wary of Reddit.

So I do understand that and did at the time too. My point there is that it doesn't change that I should be able to ship something I buy wherever I please. My story abstracted the many support calls to try to work around their inflexible fraud prevention. It just highlights the toil of trying to work with a company uninterested in their customers.
In Germany some people stopped after FB bought it.

But my whole family still uses it. Also I've seen, the younger people use the group-chat functionality rather often.

I only use it to talk to my family. For the rest I use TextSecure.
Apparently it is, since Whatsapp does write clients for them. You can't tell me that writing a J2ME app from scratch is easier than adapting a web client to work on a somewhat more limited browser.
>More coachable is probably the goal. A big problem for the college board is that insofar as the SAT is difficult, math driven, and g loaded, Asian people tend to score too high.

How would this help? I've taught SAT courses, and Asian students are overrepresented in those prep courses. Those cultures tend to have a habit of using external prep.

Note for posterity: I'm not saying Asian overrepresentation is a bad thing. Just stating a fact about courses I taught. If the college board's motive is to reduce Asian scores, I don't think they've picked a good method.
What providers do you recommend for a situation such as this one? Thanks!
The life expectancy versus poverty correlation is observed consistently worldwide.

Poverty rates in the US peaked at 15% in 2010 and have been going down since. Last year 11.8%. [1]

Poverty causes a lot of damage, see for example, opioid deaths.

But it's not a great point. The oil industry has had a 100 year head start on the art of money, power, and influence. Human power dynamics are the primary drivers of societal and global change.

That is to say, the reality is you have a zilch chance of passing a carbon tax in the US government sufficient enough to facilitate the change you are hoping to see. The only way oil and gas goes for a carbon tax is if it ends up being a net benefit to them, and as long as there is oil to burn, I don't see that happening any time soon.

I would think California, for as progressive and liberal as it claims to be on the outset would pass something like this, but it's tough for me to be too optimistic there considering the influence and power Chevron has over the state.
Because tenants rights are poor? The difference in safety felt between owning and renting is related to perception of tenants rights. I think they (the difference and the rights) vary accordingly worldwide.
Sure, if you spend a minute thinking about who the ipad is made for. Console cowboys or normal people doing normal things like writing documents.

"These recipes will be based on Potatoes, Milk, Flour, Eggs, and Kale. (Honorable mention to Pinto Beans and Carrots)"

Been a week since I saw any of those in shops, and can't recall the last time I saw kale.

As always the cheap staple foods and tins are the first to go in panic buying and you just know that all the stuff we usual meh at and lob into the food bank box's are the exact stuff people are now stocking and hoarding up upon, pasta, meal in a tin and all those other cheap meal options are now everybody's emergency cupboard of hardness.

Coz, 6 months or so - food banks are going to be flooded with everybodies reality hoardings, just to appease their own karma when in reality the damage is already done and the impact of fear has been born and played out.

Yes. When Apple comes out with a new iPhone, and last year's model is discounted by $100, that is counted as deflation in the CPI. When an appliance costs the same as it did 20 years ago, but lasts 5 years instead of 20 because it's made more cheaply, that's generally not factored in.

This smacks of link bait & bandwagoning. The author's experience with Twitter is contorted to support a statement about Facebook.

The FUD among the mainstream press is getting a little tiresome and distracts from the real privacy issues on the site. Instead I'd prefer to see a concrete discussion of exactly what controls/features are broken - that's much more actionable on my end.

Disclaimer: I work for Facebook, but don't speak on their behalf.
Even though such ideas are rare, its difficult to measure their value meaningfully until something is done with them. You use the proof of the Poincare conjecture to demonstrate that Ricci flow has value for instance, but without such derivative work can you convince others that it has value?
I'm shooting from the hip here, but I think maybe there's a distinction to be made between ideas for a product and ideas as a product. The end result of the ideas of mathematicians is mathematics itself - furthering mathematics was the goal all along. Obviously ideas count when you're working within the realm of ideas alone. However, when the ideas are a means to an end (e.g., a movie, say), the implementation is what counts. You might have the world's greatest screenplay in your desk, but if you haven't gotten to the execution stage, what kind of movie do you have? (None.) Whereas if you'd started with something, anything, like walking trees fighting hobgoblins, say, or the idea that maybe humans are just batteries for supercomputers in the future, your movie might have a chance, depending on its execution.
I wish Microsoft had their evil genius back.

Not me.

I've had 3 career phases: BMS, DMS, AMS, Before Microsoft, During Microsoft, and After Microsoft.

I remember how cool things were back in the good old PHP/VAX/Microdata/CPM days before Windows fucked everything up. Then I suffered with every enterprise who had adopted all things Microsoft. Now that people feel we actually have choices again, I don't ever want to look back. Any wonder I feel like a kid again?
That's way too adult, though.
> ''The practicable and certain way of finding Longitudes'' - satellite navigation.

We figured that out (for varying definitions of "practicable and certain") as early as the invention of the watch.
Just remember those 10,000 uniques are being driven by that spaghetti code. You could rewrite everything and make it better for yourself, but it's hubris to think that any upgrade is going to be perfect and you could easily miss some small features or add bugs that make things worse for all those users. And as allwein says, small changes that improve profitability are more valuable than bigger changes that don't.

My advice is to implement changes incrementally. When you have to rewrite, modularize at the same time. Then you can upgrade components piece-by-piece and easily rollback if there are problems that affect the profitability of the business.

Isn't Arrington disclosing his conflicts of interests, though? AND going out of his way to not report on them?

He was even outed by one of his own as an investor and didn't do anything to stop it.

Where's the problem here?
I don't really understand why you're promoting yourself as a student entrepreneur. If anything it is a major deterrent from me using your service. For starters, I wouldn't really trust a service from someone who advertises themselves as a student entrepreneur as it sound unprofessional as if I should excuse bugs because you're a student. Also, I think this only used to be impressive... like in the 90s or even early 2000 but now it just seems like you're trying to hard to pitch yourself as a student. I think this works against you more than you think (especially considering that you're already in College).

Things like MindSnacks got attention because they were HighSchoolers but also that their product was actually relatively complicated and very polished. Tumblr's founder also started in HS but we rarely hear about that. Kiip's Brian Wong (aged 19) uses age 19 as just link bait and is only because he raised a lot of money AND graduated university already. My buddies who run one of the leading PPI networks is also just 19. Mark Bao is another impressive high school kid running threewordsme etc. etc.

When I was 18, I thought what I was doing was impressive (I'm 21 now), I tried to ride the "I'm a teen" buzz wave at my last startup Weels Corp when we launched at DEMO. I ran into the issues I'm speaking of above. Now, a little wiser, I launched my new site UpOut.com. I don't plan to use the "I'm young" buzz even though my cofounder is still 19... I plan to write some thoughtful blog articles on running a startup in college but that is definitely not part of my marketing plan.
I look at this and can't help but think how important it is to entrepreneurs. "Why" is fundamental, the building blocks for your implementation/execution, the "how".

The fundamental question for a venture is: Why are we doing what we are doing? Expressed market demand. We can make money providing the supply for that demand.

Interestingly, "why" is also where all "how" questions eventually lead when you dig deep enough. How are we going to provide a solution? Through a mobile application. Why a mobile app?

If you are not asking a why question, you haven't thought enough about a particular topic. And if you think long enough, all your "why" questions should eventually lead back to the fundamental answer, "because there is demand for this".
If by "upset" you mean "out of business." There are hundreds(?) of multi-million-dollar businesses who do the vast majority of their volume as a seller on the Amazon Marketplace.

On second thought, I guess there would be a short term huge increase of sales on eBay, where most Amazon sellers also sell, so I guess "out of business" is hyperbole.
I think this is very important and not because of the fact that you're more likely to talk shop when eating with your team. What is more valuable IMHO is that you'll get to know your teammates better as _people_: what they like, their hobbies, their tastes their culture (if you're in such an team) etc. It's insanely interesting and valuable: it will make communication much smoother and misunderstandings much less frequent.
A team needs to gel and having common experiences outside of strict "work" settings is really important for that. BTW, this can't be forced but can be facilitated by creating the right conditions and I think that's what Joel's post is about.
One more thing: having lunch with people only loosely connected to your day-to-day activities is also very interesting and can lead to serendipitous insights about things totally in your area of expertise.
That seems similar to what Google does with Chrome, which caused problems with packaging, upgrades, and security patching. http://spot.livejournal.com/312320.html
They were fortunate. NYC rents at that time were like $40-60/month, with a cheap apartment like that being a tenament.

Google is interested in building an AI that is designed to turn people into its products.

What do you do with a product when you're done with it? What do these people become?

All you need to do is search google for weight loss advice or anything that could remotely have a commercial interest and what pops up? Pages and pages of irrelevant clickbait. If you ever wanted to build an encyclopedia of nudges, persuaders, and other such exploits of the human mind, now would be a good time.

The entire game is forcing you to take actions, like answering "yes" to a sales guy over and over to build the habit so you'll agree to the sale. It's taxing on the mind, and like television, it got to the point you had to see 30 minutes of garbage ad's for 20 minutes of entertainment, that it's no longer worth it.

The "Trinet" is dieing because it has become useless; something far more useful will come along to replace it because people are viewing the recent infestation of marketing people as damage and are routing around it.
Proof is stake has been running fine in production for a long time as part of the tendermint project.

Google has secured a lot of top AI researchers. Depending on the dates when their options vest, we may see a lot of them leave.
> I want to believe most tech people are mature and educated enough to not treat Google as a single block, hate everything they do or love everything they do.

Unfortunately, as long as it is a single economic entity, it is a single block. All of its parts strengthen and finance the same entity.

If the different parts want to be treated separately, they must become separated.

I consider it basic logic that if you do not want something to be under a control of a single entity, you shouldn't continue fuelling an entity whose growing power will ensure exactly that. Isn't this far less judging and more nuanced than "Google is evil"? The motto is basically just a catchy shorthand for that.
In an attempt be polite and constructive: reaching for dictatorships as a counter example feels extreme.
Your friends are probably not the best source on the matter. Go on YouTube and listen to interviews with actual sex workers in places where it is institutionalized (e.g. Amsterdam, New Zealand). There are plenty of Vice documentaries e.g. https://youtu.be/Q8_UGthO3CM

Nothing is decided yet. This is a vote thread which _might_ end with someone interested in Mesos stepping in to pick the project up.

This hasn't happened in a while with other projects (a whole bunch of Apache projects have just retired in the last few months) but with Mesos there might be a chance.
From the docs you linked:

> ClusterIP: Exposes the Service on a cluster-internal IP. Choosing this value makes the Service only reachable from within the cluster. This is the default ServiceType.

Internal only.

> NodePort: Exposes the Service on each Node's IP at a static port (the NodePort). A ClusterIP Service, to which the NodePort Service routes, is automatically created. You'll be able to contact the NodePort Service, from outside the cluster, by requesting <NodeIP>:<NodePort>.

Nobody uses NodePort to expose external services directly, and I think you know that.

> LoadBalancer: Exposes the Service externally using a cloud provider's load balancer. NodePort and ClusterIP Services, to which the external load balancer routes, are automatically created.

As I mentioned above in this thread, requires cloud provider Load Balancer.

> ExternalName: Maps the Service to the contents of the externalName field (e.g. foo.bar.example.com), by returning a CNAME record with its value. No proxying of any kind is set up.

> Note: You need either kube-dns version 1.7 or CoreDNS version 0.0.8 or higher to use the ExternalName type.

This one's a new one to me, and apparently relies on some special new widgets.

He is very lucky to be a US citizen. The FBI has treated non-citizens much much worse.

For example [0], the FBI arrested Syrian-Canadian engineer Maher Arer while he changed planes in USA. The FBI imprisoned him without charges, denied him a lawyer, and then kidnapped him and delivered him to a prison in Syria where he was tortured for 10 months. His wife finally got the Canadian government to intervene and get him out. The head of RCMP (Canada's FBI) resigned in shame for letting it happen. All of the US people responsible continued with their lives as before. A few of them apologized.

It goes both ways. The government closed businesses, but also gave them resources to stay in business. You can argue it was Keynesian, but you can also argue it wasn't.

yes, debugpy is similar. It also support Debug Adapter Protocol which is utilized by VS Code. This is why in addition to debugpy.breakpoint() calls you can simply use real VS Code breakpoints.
On top of that, Azure Debug Relay creates a secure tunnel between your machine and the remote debuggee, and therefore eliminate a need to expose open ports or VPN.
