the amount of distortion is debatable and context-sensitive, but that's beside the point, and illustrative of the exact diversion i'm denominating.

the problem is one of wealth and income distribution, particularly what happens as the shape of the distibution skews unnaturally toward the top and the powerful incentives to skew it that way. trying to shore up the tiny low end of that distribution (i.e., via minimum wage) is like throwing pebbles on the beach and hoping to fortify against the ocean. it's useless if the stated purpose of stemming the tide actually coincides with the underlying intent.

(also note that modeling is an assertion of perspective and values, not an empirically objective experimental apparatus in itself. you cannot find truth simply by modeling, as plato's allegory of the cave alludes.)
Luckily, my two partners were doing better things. There was some selection bias, but not too much.
I've also wanted to develop a series like this, where each course builds directly on the material from previous courses.

My school offers each concept individually, but they're not related.
The site won't load for me, so that is a bit of a non-starter.

I think one of the big problems you may face from a business perspective is as you say 'Airbnb for homeowners near major sporting events'.

As a homeowner, I think I would want to manage my rental in one place. As a person looking for a place to stay, I also want to look in one place. Though you have a niche, it is a niche in a subset of an already serviced market where the buying criteria don't differ.

I think what you are trying to do is different from other niches like etsy or HN in that these are underserved markets where the isn't really another solution. Your main competitor is not only an alternative solution, but also one that isn't painting themselves in a corner.

You may need to revisit your business model a bit and get a better definition of the market you are serving. It could be something as simple as language in the sale that is tripping me up, but I've got a trusted resource in Airbnb (though I've never used them) with a pretty good name and is pretty much defining the market. I don't see a big opportunity for a subset of that market.
I am currently enjoying this. Work between 25-30 hours, and my salary was reduced by 25%. I am thinking about reducing it more and working less hours.

It is quite tricky though. You want to work 4 hours a day for someone, not 6, because by the time you are done with 6 you usually need a transition period and before you know it you are feeling tired.
So in other words, you have the same problem finding it?
I would be interested in reading that. :-)
My favorite docs are http://erldocs.com/

The speed and ease at which I can search the erlang docs for specific functions is the best I have found.
His logic is sound, but you're misreading him: he's saying that (quantity of app titles all that matters) => (we're all using windows). We're not all using windows, so by contradiction quantity of apps is not all that matters. He's not saying that everybody is using OS X, just that not everybody is using windows.
While LeBron is a good example of this kind of asymmetric skillset, the Chris Bosh of programmers is...Chris Bosh, which is pretty cool.

"So, no, they don't sell your profile."

sorry, my mistake. They use it themselves (or let it slip accidentally to foreign secret services) :o).
Switching factories could certainly happen without a corporate structure change, though, right?

If it's important to track this information, I think it's relevant to mention it specifically, and I'd expect an honest review to discuss important changes like this (if they're aware of them), regardless of the brand names mentioned. If HGST requested that the review not mention a change in factory or technology, or refused to answer questions about it, then yes, I'd suspect malice somewhere.
I don't think it's as clear cut as you make it sound. They've been through dozens of node transitions, some very challenging, to the point of pundits claiming it couldn't be done because physics (300nm comes to mind, turns out, masks interference came to the rescue, or something like that).

They also reinvented them selves as a CPU company, went for lower prices with the Celeron, bit the bullet on Itanium and embraced AMD's x86-64, backpedaled the Pentium 4 thermal disaster and went from Pentium 3 into the Core architecture, took the server and HPC market by assault…

Never have I seen them this lost and in denial.
Calling everyone who voted for Trump a supporter isn’t accurate. I know people who strongly dislike him and voted for him over Biden. As a lower bound you can estimate around 8% of voters will donate to each campaign which clearly marks them as supporters. Perhaps as many as 40% of those 74 million votes come from strong supporters who might not donate but will advocate for him among friends and family etc.

However, mostly it’s based on party affiliation where people voting against him in a primary would vote for him in a general election.
Intel has whiffed their 10nm process node to the point where it may never launch in any scale. Their 7nm node is significantly behind schedule. Their only solution in the near-term is to keep increasing the TDP of their chips, which won't work for long.

This might be their only good option. Sure outsourcing manufacturing is a risk, but it's probably one they need to take. They will catch back up if they can get their 7nm node back on track, which isn't a given.
There is plenty of video of them being let in. They took down the barricades and just started letting people in. This camera person for a news outlet just walked right in with 0 force.

The idea that every possible opinion should be allowed (and that anything else is "dystopian") is quite recent. Have we forgotten about all the alleged communists being persecuted during the cold war? Or people like Bertrand Russel for "sexual deviancy"? Blasphemy laws? Flag burning laws that were common up to ~20 years ago? etc. etc. etc.

There were definitely problems with all of that, but it was hardly dystopian.
This. Double standards all the way.
> Defense lawyer Steven Pesso [... said ...] it was going to be a “fun deposition” in questioning the mother.

Ugh, sounds like a shithead.
It's also not Apple's job to do any policing before Parler has been found guilty by a court.
The news media reliably produces these “something must be done” stories that the powerful can then use as cover for actions they normally wouldn’t dare to take. And all at the same time - no coordination necessary, no central agenda, just an understanding that for some short period, all sorts of questionable actions will be excusable. A sort of Schelling point for anti-societal behaviour.
My 3G became dog slow as a dog when I installed the software that was released alongside the 3GS. It has been ever since, through every following upgrade.

Can you name any software or hardware product (or vendor) that you have a strong interest in or an admiration for?
This sounds like a good idea. One question, though, I have this long list of "solutions" that is not strictly code or design, but still related (the "I just managed to jump through hoops to make this thing works, gotta write it down"-type), how does it fit within Forrst's content types, or it does not?

You can get top level Java programmers for $95K?! Where are you based??

Round here (Adelaide, Australia - not exactly a center of big business) $95K is a base Senior Java salary. Most people are doing contracts though, and rates start at $65/hour (roughly $110K/year) and go way up. I know some pretty average programmers on 6+ month contracts at $80/hour, and $100/hour isn't unknown.
I think this could be successful because it lets people interact live with elements on the page. This is one thing that Adobe BrowserLab fails to do (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/725431?tstart=0 for example).

You may not want to answer this, but how will this service scale? Booting an individual VM for each user seems incredibly resource intensive.

There were already four kinds of Freedom, and none of them were invented by Mark Pilgrim.

NSW has been suffering for the last decade from a totally clueless government, and an opposition totally owned by its fringe right-wing. Labor couldn't govern their way out of a paper bag and the Libs figure that instead of drifting to the centre to meet the voters, all they need to do is wait until the voters give up and move to them.

NSW doesn't have any money, so they can't do any major roads project without farming it out to private investors and putting up a toll booth to pay for it.

This has led to some really bad policy decisions. For one thing, most of the new roads are bypasses that allow drivers to skip congested areas like the middle of the city. The toll then discourages people from using the bypass and the city remains clogged. Then to bail out the investors, the government closes lanes on the free alternative routes to force people to take the tollway.

There was an amusing couple of years where you could get away with not paying tolls just by driving through the electronic gate and ignoring the infraction warnings. Because the RTA was doing all the work of collecting the money but not getting to keep any of it, they didn't care enough to follow up people who didn't pay.
It's not going to happen. If you want an open, distributed protocol like email, it shouldn't be a surprise that it'll work like email. Perhaps you'll have a small undo window like GMail, but once it's gone out - it's gone out.

I don't think that anyone who's seen lamebook is going to expect that semi-public information will stay that way.
Ok, I have a question about this:

Should you do it?

I've done this for a long time. I have the fi-5110EOXM for the mac that I love.

Here's what I learned. I spent a lot of time scanning stuff. When in doubt, scan it. I spent a days and weekends here and there.

I felt SUCH a relief after tossing all that physical stuff, but keeping it "just in case".

But... I've NEVER looked at the stuff I scanned.

I mean, I could look at it. I could data mine my power bills for trends. I could start categorizing my spending over the years and predict stuff.

The reality is that maybe I could have tossed the stuff (make a DECISION) and live with the consequences (which in my experience are zero).

I think I couldn't toss the stuff out of fear.

Maybe I could have used all the time saved to live a little more.
It is unbelievable the amount of delusional talk going on at r/wsb. They think the price will magically go to 1K even 10K per share.

Surely some of them will have lasting mental issues when it all ends.
Regarding free services, one could have said the same thing about Orkut or Myspace. Community tends to flock in via one door, and flock out via another door, as long as the product or service is free.

In this case however, completely agree with you. BTC is a paid network (a very expensive one at that). It could remain self-sustaining for quite long.
> If you've used a Magic Mouse, then you've used a mouse with a trackpad on its back. Glad you liked it!

My mistake. I used a standard Apple mouse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Mighty_Mouse). I used its clickable scroll ball and squeeze functionality and suspect I would dislike the Magic mouse.

> And no, rotating in Photoshop with the keyboard isn't the same as rotating with a trackpad. It's an entirely different process that is significantly less efficient, unless you already know the exact angle of rotation you want down to the 0.1°.

IMO the ideal mouse + keyboard rotation style is Blender’s, which is more efficient in this scenario than a trackpad. But I still believe a graphics tablet would be objectively superior.

Even a lot of devs have turned to aws/azure/gcp.... Local first is too much responsibility for some.
That is the problem. The Execs at GM are MBAs who are good at pulling financial levers. "Reduce costs by X%", "Increase R&D budget by Y%".

Tesla is playing a different game based on first principals. "How low can we get cell cost?", "How can we get range to 300 miles without extra costs?"

Obviously finance is important. If you run out of cash you can go bankrupt. But in the long run whoever is innovating the fastest without going bankrupt wins.
Censorship is maybe the wrong word, but we all understood what he meant and agree that this behavior wrong.

Twitter misleads you into believing following someone will deliver you 100% of their content (and similarly, that someone who follows you will see 100% of your content) while that's not actually the case.

It might not be censorship, but it's still a terrible move, and frankly a sign of a defective product. The whole point of Twitter is to "follow" accounts you're interested in - if the tool can't do this with 100% reliability it should be considered as broken.
I don't know if the NSA are the best in the world, but they're probably among the best-funded in the world.

Stuxnet is close to a work of art; the degree of effort involved in hiding self-reinstalling malware inside hard-drive firmware is staggering.[0] Anyone who's ever tried to write Linux drivers for undocumented hardware can appreciate how insane it is that they managed to do it for a dozen different hard drive manufacturers.

People use the cloud because they are being forced through the software user interfaces. Working with local files takes increasingly more steps compared to cloud based solutions. So I wouldn't exactly say that people are ok with it, it feels more like they choice is being made for them.
GCP feels the most R&Dish, with the K8s and ML innovations. AWS seems to just be pushing on every front very well. Azure feels as though it's catching up, but a bit more sales led/engineering later than the others.
Interesting play on words.

YBombinator!™ is a concept that was conceived in real time by real people in an Internet chat room on April 17, 2007 @ 2:09AM Pacific Daylight Time. Think of YBombinator!™ as the un-incubator, helping cultivate un-companies.
Why are you convinced that your perspective is The perspective?
Goodness, I hope not! This breaks all your downstream middleware and whatever business logic is invoked by your handlers. If you encounter a 500-worthy problem it's an `error` return like anything else.

`panic` is not for business logic.
I'd probably have done similar if I hadn't discovered legit spiritual practices when I was younger. Focussing on materialism, wealth, status, etc. just doesn't bring happiness.

I think Buddhism nailed the causes of unhappiness and provides a way out without needing to believe in fairies. I'd honestly be lost without it.

Maybe you're one of those people who's more aware of what the Buddha called the 3 characteristics like I am. Worth googling it at least.
Maybe your life wasn't remarkable enough to be worth replaying. That's what I expect for myself, at least. :)

It’s just clumsy wording. The patient appeared physically fine prior to the EEG scan, otherwise he would have not been there in the first place.
The sleight of hand is to be Truth about science and math, then pretend you're Truth about everything else based on that. Pretty useful if you can pull it off. What could you do with that?
I come from Ubuntu and then Debian. Debian is the distro I know best (because Ubuntu from years ago is much more similar than today's Debian than today's Ubuntu). It's also the distro I use on servers.

However, I've been using openSUSE Tumbleweed (KDE edition) for 5 years on laptops now and I think this is the one that gives the most polished experience. That's because of several things such as:

- KDE is up to date. And each new version is strictly better and more polished than the previous one, and that has been true for years

- One-click install actually works, even for software in repositories you haven't configured yet, and foreign repositories are way easier to use than PPAs.

- YaST is good for the occasional thing I can't bother to learn to do from the command line

- Zypper is very good too. And allow you to interactively chose solutions when something goes wrong instead of failing fast like apt.

- it is a rolling release with both the polish and the software catalogue of a regular distribution. There's no unsupported AUR repository to add and manage for widespread software, it's usually already in the core repositories.

- new software version on Linux desktop matters. For instance, today I (finally!!) have flawless pinch zoom both with the touchpad and the touchscreen, both on X and Wayland. Many distributions don't seem to have it yet.

I keep a Debian systemd container for the occasional thing that's easier to install on Debian, or to work around the occasional glitch (for instance Meld is currently broken for me on openSUSE Tumbleweed but it works fine on Debian Bullseye).

What drew me to openSUSE is the difficulty to have up to date KDE software on Debian. Had Debian have a current KDE repository, I would probably have never discovered openSUSE. On Ubuntu you can use Neon, but Ubuntu is annoying because of Snap and stuff (if you are going out of your way to package something, just use goddam Debian packages, not some half-arsed container technologies depending on a service that runs proprietary software and that does not distinguish between free and non free software). Also openSUSE's integration is really good and seems more stable than KDE Neon.

So, Debian on servers and openSUSE on desktops for me.
My theory is that the tractacus was a bullshit detector made by Wittgenstein.
If after reading it you think it is genius you fail the test, if you understand that it is a bunch of refined nonsense you pass.
Honestly it is obvious to anybody that actually spent time reading it, e.g even the truth tables in it are invalid. He conclude the book by saying that when you don't know what you're talking about, it would be better for you to not speak about it, this is obviously a meta-critic about the tractacus.
Ironically, most philosophers fail the test (obviously most of most philosophers admire it out of authority, without having read a single page from it nor it's subsequent book (as if the subsequent book was even needed for understanding it's true semantically-empty nature..))
I don't think you can really call them a knockoff. As far as I know, the HackRF has been designed as an opensource hardware[0], so I'd guess the designer intended it to be built by different entities.

I don't understand the reason why but it seems a constant that the majority of tech workers are the sole income for the house. Maybe I'm more exposed to H1B workers in US, but that holds even in other places.
It becomes a Ponzi scheme the moment you realize that the idea is intrinsically broken, but still you keep shilling it and making grow the value exponentially, (value that somebody has to pay). BTW, flagged, really mods??
Oh, you can, but it grows expensive fast.

Around here (Norway) a lot of houses have shingles on the roof - typical lifespan ~20 years or so. On the upside, it is simple to replace.

Next step up being corrugated steel, though mostly it is shaped to look like tile. IIRC you can expect to get 30-40 years out of one.

Proper tile - lifespan depends greatly on the quality of the tile, but around here (west coast, lots of crap weather) the limiting factor tends to be the nails used to hold the tiles in place.

Anecdotally, my father in law and I redid a slate roof last laid in 1917 last year. The nails had all but rusted away, and only the sheer mass of the slates held them in place. We redid it using marine grade stainless screws, part of me is a little peeved that I won't ever know how long it lasts - but I fully expect it to last way more than 100 years. Was fun to etch a couple of small plaques for my far-off descendants to read, though. We put them under the first couple of slates you'd need to remove when redoing the roof. :-)
SQLite should not be corruptible by power loss unless PRAGMA synchronous is OFF, or OS/fs/storage media don’t honor fsync. https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html

But the thread says SQLCipher is used, so not sure.
I know how it works. The only major difference for FPS is that there are multiple inputs inside a frame which have to be precisely timed. All the prediction models are either deceiving for a false reaction or the same "keep doing the previous action".
The only programming environment I used to build this was Emacs on Linux. The rest was simply researching the magic numbers needed to use the binary interface of each system. I figured life's too short to be pulling my hair out with MSVC/Xcode warnings.
Ok, this is one area where Bitcoin is demonstrably better than pretty much any other form of money: it's cryptographically impossible to counterfeit.
> P.S. I have a long bet that SELinux is an NSA backdoor. Any takers?

I don't know if it's an NSA backdoor, but there were several security alerts related to SELinux. I don't understand why all common distros use this. I don't, I compile my kernels from unpatched vanilla source.
I stand corrected as to the date. I should have fact checked against the dossier :-(

Well if you've been successfully exploiting a broken certificate, and it gets busted, and you have another spare one, are you going to use it or leave it? Probably use it.

Ahmadinejad is quoted by Reuters as saying "They succeeded in creating problems for a limited number of our centrifuges with the software they had installed in electronic parts". Sounds like it got in to me.
"I am working on the issue non stop until it's solved"

If it is a genuinely difficult problem I've found that the most productive approach for me is to ensure I have all the facts in my head and then go and do something else completely unrelated. Usually some kind of solution will present itself at 3am or while I'm having a shower....

Of course, this approach doesn't work with all problems but it certainly beats hitting your head off a brick wall.
I was curious about this, so I started googling for how to do this. Sure enough, it's a bitch and the only way to really do it easily is to use a GUI like Tork. Not to mention I can't seem to figure out how you find his nodes in order to BadExit them, and I very seriously doubt his nodes will get listed in anything official.

Anyone got good instructions on how to actually BadExit his nodes? I want to post them so people actually can.
I remember my own experience of taking a job back in '99 with ebay in the UK and no-one back then had any idea of how big the web was going to be...it really was a journey into the unknown. We had no idea the company would make it, this little upstart in the UK market with a three person office.
