trye, but the importance of the two criteria aren't weighted the same.

plus he isn't doubling down on the same bet: he's changing the new bet to be more in his favor, so the additional 100,000 is actually worth less than the original 100,000. (not monetary value, but rather the money's value as representation of the strength of his belief that the bubble won't pop before 2020).
Most people we have worked with don't take ssh key passwords seriously, because they can be stripped out. We advocated for the idea that password-protected ssh keys are a form of 2-factor auth, but nobody bought into that.

Organizations that want 2-factor auth are typically setting up bastion / jump hosts that require a second factor like a phone-delivered one-time password. This can be configured through the PAM stack.

Once on the bastion, the user can get to other machines within the accessible network using their passwordless ssh key. In effect, each bastion serves as a mini-perimeter.

And yes, people spend a lot of time entering their second factor. Dozens of times per day is not unusual.

Re-reading your question, I'm not really answering it. But maybe this anecdote is useful in some way :-)
Has there been anything on Hacker News about how a technical person can find a non-technical personal assistant? Someone to deal with legal stuff, do usability tests, and other unskilled work. (Not sure I'd want to give someone like this very much equity...)

The main problem I have with ebooks is that a lot of the conversions are really shoddy bits of work - my Kindle copy of Surface Detail (by Iain M Banks) being the worst, lots of spaces missing between sections and inappropriate hyphenation.
The JPEG analogy doesn't hold water. The JPEG is a lossy reproduction of the original painting. But following that path, the lossier reproduction of the author's ideas is not the e-book: it's still the paper one.

I decided to be a programmer, just because of this. Allowing for creativity, without too much fiddling around was the key success of QB I think.

Advancing humanity can be very terrible but I am sure most people would create that certificate for themselves. Especially if you are high on money and cocaine.
Because his class consciousness is with them so he sees their participation as pivotal to anything taking root across the whole of society because they are how he relates to the whole of society
It's actually a change in perception and perspective. Since consciousness and reality are subjective results of individual perception and perspective, there is an altering of consciousness and experienced reality. Perception being perceiving and mapping out the external world outside of the individual mind. And perspective then deriving a meaningful relationship between "I" and external Abstract or Concrete Things X.
Fun fact: the researcher mentioned here, Herbert Benson, was also the leader of a big study of intercessory prayer, which divided patients into (1) a control group, (2) a group that were prayed for but weren't told that, and (3) a group that were prayed for and were told that; the only statistically significant effect they found was that knowing you are being prayed for is apparently associated with worse outcomes.

> If all that comes to light is how the various governments behaved impeccably and had our best interests at heart then there is nothing to fear right ?

You keep making this assertion that the leaks will either expose something that's important for the public to know or that it will be totally benign while leaving no middle ground between the two.

I couldn't imagine going into business negotiations with the opposite party being privy to all the internal metrics in my head and not expect it to seriously disadvantage me. That's not malicious, it's looking out for my own best interests, and I wouldn't expect any different of a nation.

Similarly, there are cables that include information to the effect that Official Jack and Secretary Jane from Country X have a personality conflict that's useful to be aware of when you're dealing with them, but embarrassing for all parties involved if aired publicly. Again, that's not maliciousness, it's just basic courtesy.

>Ask yourself why a person at this level in the government should have access to all this information and proportion blame accordingly.

Sure, it's a problem. There are discussions going in other threads on the topic. I don't see how the fact that it's possible changes whether the release of the information is a good or bad thing from a global perspective, however.

>It's all just spun for what it's worth, and plenty of times for more than it's worth because 'our' governments are the good guys, or so we are led to believe.

My concern, in actuality, is less about the impact on the US itself as it is how the leak could affect other, less stable nations around the world.
This is exactly what the original article was saying. ;) The languages take very different mindsets though, so if someone is actually happy with Java, then it's very possible that they don't have (or want) the right mindset for using Ruby.
Consider this:

How many (sober) politicians will now have an open heart discussion with an US diplomatic official, which really couldn't reach his own voters/subjects?

Without being that knowledgeable about diplomacy internals, that should be worse than most any scandal.
I can access Wikileaks from Australia just fine, I guess the ban has been lifted since March '09 (the date of this article)?
I think you're right with regards to US agencies. I'll be more interested to see what happens if he releases damaging information against less tolerant governments, i.e. the Russians.

Idle question - what % of gold (or USD for that matter) do you think is owned through theft? I suppose we quickly get into the murky question of trying to define "theft" but even by the strictest definition I wouldn't be surprised if 6% of gold and USD are held off books and a direct result of illegal activity.
We don't even know what fraction of what we term consciousness or intelligence comes from the brain.

Antonio Damasio is a good read.
As a software developer, until I see something that I consider better, there is no reason to quit.

Sure, what I consider "better" is subjective.

Yet, what is missing more, "perseverance" or lack of it?

I think that the important thing is actually to love your crap, because you made it, it is self-expression.

If others don't like it, too bad, but as long as you like it, everything's just fine, keep going.

How should one help someone who unexpectedly collapses? I have no idea what I would do. I can only envision myself going up and dumbly asking "Are you OK?" which I am not sure is the best way to help.

You've been able to do that with OpenID for the last few years, that's why you can just have buttons for Yahoo, Google, or myOpenID instead of needing to type in joe.myopenid.com or google.com/id/aoeiasnexhtsanogysaeig==
I totally agree. I've abandoned lots of crap projects from many arts (both technical and artistic) and almost always went on to start something better. A few times, I've realized it was a mistake and went back to it.

The problem for me is knowing what is crap and what is not. To an outside observer, it's a lot easier to decide subjectively, but it's still hard to tell what the general populace will think.

The only advice I have to offer is: If you're waffling, then it's probably crap. Truly awesome things really, really shine.
I doubt it, last time I checked the kinect had a very low range, below the 4m mark I think, If you stand too far away from the sensor the magic fades away.
In some places, such laws were enacted to keep drug addicts and other such delinquents from hanging out there after hours. No idea whether that was the motivation here.
Well, that's the whole point of "Unlimited", right? I mean, it's not the same "X GB/TB of Data" than "Unlimited".

If you go for "Unlimited" it has to be really unlimited, otherwise you're lying.

This sounds like a fucking toxic environment, and the "rockstars" don't know as much as they claim. Arrogance is often a shield for incompetence. I would recommend GTFO and finding somewhere where people are interested in growing with each other.
A lot of that seems like anecdotal at a best. Now, I'm not one to argue with someone who has as much experience as Stonebreaker, but it seems like he's looking at a few specific use cases, and formulating a broad opinion on NoSQL from them.

There are plenty of use cases where ACID compliance truly isn't needed.

Also, just because Google has one new database that features ACID compliance, does not mean that "Google is moving to ACID", it simply means that Google has identified a need for a portion of their data to be stored in an ACID compliant way.
The average person needs 7 gallons of water, 28 cans of meat, and 14 cans of fruit per 2 weeks. For a month long stockpile that comes out to 21 gallons of water, 84 cans of protein, and 42 cans of fruit. However everyone is probably stocking up on bananas and potatoes and fresh meats which will start to go bad after a week.
"Funny how this kinds of housing works perfectly in Europe..."

Does it? What's happened in Chicago has many parallels with public housing projects in (some) European countries. There was a boom in large scale public housing developments in many European countries in the 1950s and 1960s. Many of these housing developments were large monolitic blocks. Some random examples:

- Droixhe in Liege, Belgium http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Vue_de_Droixhe.Jpg.

- The Aylesbury estate in London: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aylesbury_Estate_View.jpg.

- Chêne Pointu in the Parisian suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois https://www.flickr.com/photos/noobax/6188995903/

Many public housing developments were not stitched into the fabric of the city, but set apart from surrounding towns or city centres. The architects who built these blocks had the best of intentions (although some also had strong ideological views that influenced their designs). But today, we recognise that this style of overscaled, monolitic block design was a mistake. In the UK, the era of large scale mass public housing was largely over by the 1970s, but their effects linger on today in our attitudes to public housing and housing development.

Despite the run-down nature of many estates, strong social ties developed among residents. When estates are marked for regeneration, those ties are often broken as people are re-housed and dispersed. What does community even mean nowadays in cities when housing is snapped up by absentee investors and buy-to-let landlords with no interest in their neighbours or the neigbourhood?
> How old is this benchmark?

It says they used SQLite version 3.7.8. Since 3.7.8 came out on September 19, 2011 and 3.7.9 came out on November 1, 2011, it was probably in that range.
The same trick is employed when repairing windshields in cars. If there is a small cut you drill a round hole at both ends to make sure the cut doesn't tear further and then you fill the whole thing with epoxy.
I see the problem - the empty string is in a different position between the rows and columns, leading to "" being equal to the string "True", which is false.
Deterministic lockstep is primarily used in RTS games, where the only data that is transmitted per tick are tiny commands like "player 1 is constructing a war factory at this location" or "player 1 told unit 6 to move to this tile." If we're ridiculously generous and say that a kilobyte of commands are sent per tick, then 120x bandwidth would be 120 kb/tick. 10 ticks/s is a common RTS tickrate, so that's about a megabyte per second. In practice, far, far less bandwidth would be used than this, given that this architecture scales down to 90's dialup connections (https://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/the-making-of-warcraft-part...), but even a megabyte/s is not a completely ridiculous amount of upload bandwidth for much of the first world (but sadly not the USA).

> Audio/video streams are a completely different problem - lost data is just lost. This article is discussing a very specific problem where no data loss can be tolerated.

I know that, which is why I separated deterministic lockstep from other solutions in my comment. You're missing my point, which is that soft-realtime problems aren't suited for TCP, and cannot be addressed by any single protocol because constraints differ.
A prison is a place you are not allowed to leave. In contrast, I encourage everyone in public housing to find a job and leave.
The author hits it on the head: financial institutions don't understand that stasis also has risk. I spent a couple of years at an investment bank that happily paid 5000 USD per server per year to run an out of date, critical bugs only copy of Solaris 8 as their production OS.
The types of problems one becomes focused on are different between the two libraries - with Angular, the problem often is how to best architect an application. The lower level stuff are not as difficult once you familiarize yourself with Angular, although that admittedly has a high upfront cost of having to familiarize yourself with it.

React takes less opinions than Angular, thus leaving more for the user to determine how he/she wants to solve it. Fundamentally, React is more sound in that regard since it doesn't dominate everything as strongly - it is pretty clear that the Angular team agrees in this regard, and why they are moving to modularize everything in 2.0 (and why some formally core pieces such as the router were split off in 1.x).

Using either library helps with understanding of javascript and the browser - unless you contribute to/author angular components, React probably gives more precisely since it doesn't hide as much of the complexity. My own experience with Angular has been the deeper I delve into using it, the more I find myself moving towards using pure javascript in creating abstract classes while having the Angular-specific code be extensions of those classes - this pattern is transferable between frameworks/libraries, and likely an understated best practice when working in the browser.
This finding is not surprising and is a result of shortsightedness by technology companies, IMHO. They placed more importance in video games, multimedia than the simple readability of texts. First, they moved away from antiglare, matte screens. They favor flashy, shiny highly reflect displays, which show shiny videos and images very well, can are subpar compared to matte screens when reading in different lighting conditions. Second, they put less money in developing technologies similar to the Kindle readers, which prioritize reading.

I am sick and tired of reading reviews of devices based on their ability to watch videos and play games. I want to get things done. I want screens that do not reflect. I want screens on which I can read comfortably in different lighting situations. Give me those.
I don't think you're the target audience. The biggest benefit is simply convenience — lots of folks, myself included, just don't want to have to maintain/install a local instance.

Equifax does not have accurate information. Do you know something I don't?

One time they thought I worked on staff at the local zoo. Seriously.

It would be a waste of effort for HR. They don't have time for that I don't think. They want to get to a number not do forensics on your background.
So far it is the only one.
> You’ll happily see the volatility and slow transaction process / high fees as a worthwhile overhead cost for independent purchasing power outside of your local fiat currency.

Don’t stablecoins solve the volatility problem, and NANO solves the slowness/transaction speed aspect? Granted, these features can’t be combined just yet. But they are available separately
Yes, but the College Board is evil in a way I perceive Khan Acedemy to not be.
OK, but conversely there were literally no mRNA vaccines mass produced a year ago, and now they are delivering hundreds of millions of doses this year - so they've clearly being able to scale production quite quickly.

Its a big claim to say another $100B wouldn't have scaled it faster. I'm sure they still have bottlenecks, and financial risks they weren't willing to take.

$100B is a lot of resources - but a justified amount given the economic costs, which is the point.
Yes. But that's what they do. It's a trend. The programing teacher also forces one editor on all students. You can't even rest fruits in school.

I think a lot of people in technology scene have a strong undercurrent of anti-authoritarianism and distrust of traditional institutions, this coupled with a philosophy that many of shortcomings of the world can be recast as problems of inadequate connectivity or insufficient technology is a big source of the phenomenon you described. At it's best it gives people a different perspective on how to change things for the better in the industry, at it's worst I think it manifests as full on anti-intellectualism.

Hi B-Scan,
Thanks a lot for your feedback! Really appreciate it. I think we need to add a help tooltip there that says "start typing-in to get a suggestion from your catalog". The thing is that you need to start typing in pricing table to get an item from catalog suggested.

EC2 instances only have one network interface. The public IP address you have pointing to your instance is a DNAT done somewhere further up the chain.

If you get a large network load to your instance - say, a DDoS attack - you can find you no longer have enough network capacity to talk to your EBS disks.

Don't think of your FANG job as a way of doing productive work. Instead, treat it as an opportunity to:

* Network with the smart people that the BigCo's HR has carefully vetted for you. Specifically, find the ones that share your interests and may want to found a startup together.

* Hone your presentation skills in numerous meetings.

* Make contacts to other companies and learn about some business models previously unknown to you.

* Put aside enough savings to not need a paycheck in the foreseeable future.

You need to be careful abiding the non-compete terms, but generally try to end up with a very solid understanding of some business problem you would want to solve with your startup, and a network of people with mutual trust that would gladly join you on your new cause.

Also be careful to not burn the bridges with BigCo, since most startups fail, bla bla, yada yada.

I would advise against joining a random startup as a rank-and-file employee. You won't have the same level of trust with the founders, as you could have with your ex-colleagues, and you will likely just spend working crazy hours making someone else's dream come true, only to get screwed with equity dilution once the startup hits the exit.
