It's not much better if you end up being a GCP customer.

My company has gone through 4 reps in 3 years. Every time we get a new GCP rep they just want to talk to us about "expanding our use of GCP offerings". The only thing they want to talk about is starting to use BigQuery - not my business at all.

I signed up for a Google Cloud Security summit, and afterwards a sales rep reached out me. It was obvious from the start they had no idea I was a gsuite or GCP customer. They then directed me to a NEW account manager (#4) even though I had been working with a different one. I had worked with the prior account rep going over our architecture to make sure everything was kosher (sustained use discounts etc). I even made them a schematic of our architecture on GCP at their request. Once I provided that to them I was met with radio silence.

It's really insulting, and to me obvious they don't care about my company at all. We're looking at other options.

I wouldn't be surprised if somehow this post leads to me getting an email from another rep "Wanting to start over and doing things right", which will inevitably devolve into the discussion of how can I use BigQuery.
I work in IT for engineering.

CAD sw for the engineering schools is crazy competitive. If you are graduating and know a CAD/simulation suite really well it helps you get a job (and therefore it will influence where you apply, which influences the employers, etc)
From GCP docs [0]:

Effect of ToS violations

Google-wide disabled account

In some cases a Google-wide account (which covers access to a variety of Google products like Google Photos, Google Play, Google Drive, and GCP) will be disabled for violations of a Google ToS, egregious policy violations, or as required by law. Owners of disabled Google accounts will not be able to access their Google Cloud resources until the account is reinstated. If an account is disabled, a notification is sent to the secondary email address provided during the signup process, if available. If a phone number is available, the user is notified via text message. The notification includes a link for appeal and recovery, where applicable.

In order to regain access to their GCP resources, owners of disabled Google accounts will need to contact Google support and have their account re-enabled.

To minimize the effect of an account being disabled on Google Cloud resources, we recommend that you add more than one owner to all resources. As long as there is at least one active owner, GCP resources will not be suspended due to the one of the owners being disabled.

Given the Google account horror stories that pop up every few months, seems risky if you're solo/only have one GCP owner.

You’re not required to have an SSL cert behind cloudflare anyway, CF provides the cert the browser sees. You then put a self-signed cert on your origin and CF will accept it.
Giving a poor person a job is not “exploiting poverty”, it’s alleviating poverty.
They may have a "colour of the day" and routinely swap them. Hard to know how they're affixed, though - they don't look very swappable.
Look at it in terms of total number of deaths, not the rate.

It's killed a LOT of people. Like 360,000 people in the US according to the CDC.

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_casesper100k...

If you believe the numbers are cooked or something, then consider excess all-cause mortality there are clearly a LOT more dead people this year.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

I mean, you can just eyeball the weekly deaths graph between 2018 and now, and go 'oh, this isn't good.' There's no end in sight. LA ICUs are now nightmarish.

"At Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, the breaking point came Sunday night.

There was not one available bed for at least 30 patients who needed intensive or intermediate levels of care, and the hospital had to shut its doors to all ambulance traffic for 12 hours. Some patients, including the very sick who required intensive oxygen, experienced wait times as long as 18 hours to get into the intensive care unit.

The front entrance of Community Hospital of Huntington Park was closed to the public Monday; the back of the building saw a steady stream of ambulances over the weekend, with one security guard saying the vehicles arrived as frequently as every half hour.

And Memorial Hospital of Gardena on Monday was running at 140% capacity, forcing officials to ask for a four-hour suspension of new ambulance calls so it could move patients. The hospital is struggling to keep enough oxygen and supplies on hand amid the crunch of COVID-19 patients who need it."

...

"The crisis at Los Angeles County hospitals hit new levels as patients continued to stream in during the holiday weekend, and the medical system is bracing for a new wave of coronavirus spread arising from Christmas travel and gatherings. L.A. County’s cumulative COVID-19 death toll is expected to climb past 10,000 this week."

That's with the biggest state in the country (CA) jumping on the grenade and staying in lockdown. Imagine if CA behaved like North Dakota.

Meanwhile, China is back to normal, with only minimal contact tracing required for the occasional outbreak here and there. They couldn't even run clinical trials for their vaccines in-country because not enough people have the virus anymore. There's a certain freedom in that. Hard to be free if you're dead.
On Android I still remember getting yearly notifications that my "yearly subscription fee" was waived. So I assume they made it free but also wanted the option to go back to subscriptions if wanted.
That doesn't make sense then the other way. In WhatsApp you don't have to do any payments, so that information shouldn't be included there either.
Does NTP do that, though? I was under the impression it made time slightly faster/slower until the point is met, if the difference is small (which it will always be on production servers, in principle)

No, I'm not siding with liars-fascists-traitors. We'd ban any account that posted this way. Being right doesn't give you any excuse to behave like this, and no matter how wrong your enemies are, it doesn't give you the right to destroy the commons.

my god, that sounds horrible
At the rate of repeating what everyone else has said, this is truly impressive. Initial loading was a bit choppy and slow on Safari 6.1 on 10.8.4, but after that it was smooth.

It's projects like this that reinforce my belief that A: browser plugins must die and never come back and B: "web apps" will ultimately become as powerful as (and replace) desktop apps.
> Having a single signon between those two services makes very little sense.

Where do you draw the line? GMail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, YouTube, Google+, Android, Chrome, Voice, Hangouts? Should they all have different sign-ons?

Is Google forbidden from integrating signons for all future companies it acquires?
Do the same for me! phil (at) curious media dot com. If you could also include any previous work samples, that would be greatly appreciated.
Going after 2-factor auth as the simple way to manage this ("I can't get access, personally") seems wrong to me.

The second factor is something you have. You'll normally travel with the "thing you have", and since many sites implement 2-factor differently, you'd have to change the setup for all of those sites before you travel.

Instead, what about not knowing the password?

This is pretty easy to do, and it's also good personal security generally.

Use a password manager (like KeePass or LastPass), and set all passwords to unique random strings of 16 characters or so. If the password manager enters the passwords into websites for you, you'll never type them (and thus never memorize them).

Then you just need a way to not know the keyphrase that unlocks your password manager datastore... that's easier to change quickly before you travel (or let your partner manage this, or use 2-factor on LastPass, etc. -- it's an easier problem, because it's just one thing).
It depends how far away from land you are.

A Tsunami has tons of energy, but it only really gets 'big' on the surface when that energy is constrained by the depth of the sea floor. That's why if you're on a boat and get a tsunami warning, it's better to head out to sea.
Vistaprint cards are terrible, in my experience. I've had excellent results with Moo, even if they're slightly more expensive I've always been happy with their results.

The problem with the griddy model is that there is no price cutoff beyond which you simply refuse to consume electricity and e.g. just buy a generator and run heating from that.

Can we leave the novelty accounts to Reddit, please?
That's because it's not a community based on language use, it's a community based on code sharing via a specific source control engine + community/social features + project management features.

github has to be one of the few services/companies that use ruby that doesn't constantly push it in your face with a bunch of better-than-thou blog posts about how ruby is awesome. Twitter used to be like that (or at least felt like it) with ruby/rails and then eventually with whatever language or technology du jour they were using.

None of my github projects are ruby, and I don't think many of the projects I follow are ruby (I honestly don't really keep track of that, but it would be an interesting statistic).

While I know github uses ruby, I don't think of them as doing anything other than providing the github service/website. In the same way I don't really think of Facebook as anything other than providing the facebook service/website. It only comes up when we talk about hiring ("If you want to work at Facebook, you'd have to do PHP.") or when you get a fatal error (I actually got "Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: An active access token must be used to query information about the current user. thrown in /var/www/publisher/system/application/libraries/facebook.php on line 453" the other day -- that's only happened once for me). I'd like to think that some places concentrating on providing a good service/experience and the actual choice of implementation only matters to them and they'd use the best tools for the job (where "best" may be defined as amount of experience they have with it).

Consider the perception of the language agnostic nature of github vs codeplex. I don't spend a lot of time on codeplex, but I have this perception that just about everything hosted on codeplex is written in one of the limited subset of languages that Microsoft sanctions/supports (this may be a function of the Microsoft/Windows platform, where it's non-trivial to get things like, say, vanilla ruby or python running on Windows compared to .Net stuff). Code that is hosted on github is merely known to use git for source control.
What if someone secretly stuffs an object up one's butt and then instructs the person to pull it out at the end of the commercial? Probably a bit of a gray area too by the same reasoning.

(edit) For those not getting the joke - it meant to illustrate that the subsequent disclosure of something done without prior consent does not make it any more acceptable. Be it an image planted in one's head or something physical.
Funny, I thought I'd previously only heard that from an anime series (Demon Slayer). But since I watched every episode of QI I must've heard it there too. Maybe it was just the repeat mention that stuck. In any case I won't give too much credit to something I've heard on QI and/or Demon Slayer. It is a neat, somewhat poetic, idea though.
Is this true, though? Their mid range phones are usually $400-$500 cheaper than their mainstream flagships.
Question: why was the official Podman desktop app [1] elevated over this app? The Companion app which this post links to appears more fully featured.

I feel like you could make a similar argument against Wordle:

You can only play one game a day! How are you going to get revenue if someone can only spend a few minutes a day on it?

The runtime has too much baggage, and Adobe is it’s own worst enemy to keep AnimateCc alive. Instead I would prefer someone rebuild a subset of the authoring tool that sufficiently captures the essence of Flash, with multi-platform targets (including WebGL). I say rebuild Macromedia Flash 5, but with a JavaScript coding environment, and you would have a successful product.
It's definitely not anyone's fault for not taking this seriously.

I thought it was a gag and only these comments make me think it might possibly be a real language.
We all know how to read, but do we all know how to click?
I find it so comforting to believe in Heuristics That Almost Always Work even when I know I ought to employ more scrutiny. It's too easy to jump on board.
Also, Greg Egan. Much of his stuff is far-out hard SF, but many of the short stories are near-future stuff that could easily be a Black Mirror episode. The 'cookie' in White Christmas is very similar to the 'ndoli jewel' of several of Egan's stories.
I've always admired Fred's way of laying things out without any nonsense and seemingly quite transparently. I'm very keen to found out what he thinks 2015 will bring tomorrow (and anyone else in the know, really..)
The road is not actually physically blocked, but every vehicle that comes on that road is hailed to stop for the test. If someone takes a U-turn to avoid the test, there's typically a motorbike or a patrol car ready to chase.
Peter Thiel says competition is for losers, and he's not just talking about business strategy. Does Elon Musk waste energy comparing himself to other people? Does Larry Page seem obsessed with outperforming others? Steve Jobs? Mark Zuckerberg? Notice that these people respect and support each other.

Finance, Law, and Politics are more common destinations for people obsessed with finite games[1]. Best school, best firm, corner office, most socially respectable spouse, biggest bonus.

Work is more fulfilling when you wake up every morning focused on creating value for your customers, or finding a larger goal where you can make a contribution. If you focus on defeating others, you're going to be miserable.

My sole practical suggestion: once a week, find a way to help another person succeed. Even something small. You /can/ feel happy when others do well.

I never worked or interned at Microsoft :)
>Kids learn to perform the operations, but do not seem to be mastering the concepts.

This was already the problem. Parents didn't learn anything either, they just learned to perform the operations. If they _had_ learned the concepts, they would have no trouble understanding their kids' new homework.
The build number comes from the build server, and isn't accurate I believe. Some pretty recent functionality is in the file list, including mobilecore, mincore, and other "One Windows" refactorings from Windows 10.
The bigger issue is that even if you accept the USB2 transfer, you can't make any real conclusions. Was the USB transfer from victim machine to external storage or from attacker machine to external storage.
How does Netflix DRM currently work anyways?
From a marketing perspective - I know lots of people and blogs who monitor the app store for new apps and try them out. An HTML5 app means that you will not have access to this crowd.
Really?

"Unfortunately, this is a much slower approach and leads to a fragmented experience on Android, in which some handsets will have access to Netflix and others won’t."

3rd to last sentence of the second paragraph. Even if they didn't use the specific word, it's clear from the issues that they are due to fragmentation.
Yes - that is for example what tools like PhoneGap are helping with.
Off the top of my head, I would say open source and DRM are mutually exclusive. Since a movie has to be decrypted on the client, the key can never be kept secret.
Get the best of both worlds, build in html5 and put a thin wrapper around a webview with phonegap/titanium to get in the distribution channel
They seem to be targeting the embedded market, which is mostly Windows based.
I couldn't help but notice that you said that it will keep the kindle "safe and warm". Maybe it's just a misconception from my part but doesn't anything electronic prefer the cold?
> there were several security alerts related to SELinux.

Can you elaborate?
"Are introverts arrogant? Hardly. I suppose this common misconception has to do with our being more intelligent, more reflective, more independent, more level-headed, more refined, and more sensitive than extroverts."

... That's the very definition of arrogant.

I'm an introvert and happy with it. The people who are still my friends know this and don't try to change me. I don't try to frame my introversion in terms of being better than others, though. I simply am who I am.
This being Hacker News, my first thought was "Holy crap on a cracker - Andrew Koenig is dead!?!". Then I discovered there is another Andrew Koenig of whom I'd never heard, and it wasn't the author of Traps and Pitfalls who'd died.

Just thought I'd mention it.
On the rare occasion I have to look something up on MSDN, I use the search box on Firefox and that uses Google. I gave up on MSDN's (and Microsoft site) search a long time ago in favor of Google's because they seem to be better at finding relevant contents on Microsoft properties.
Thanks for this. I'm amazed how well this worked (just installed WINE).
And more recently how Google dealt with XMPP. I certainly would not want to rely on them not breaking email when it's to their advantage.
I have to say I find it suspicious that 284 days ago he posted about how he had "no cash to build an MVP" and yet 3 months later he had 150k in savings.

It's not a text editor, it's the whole experience. I never even want to worry about where libraries are or where the compiler executables are. I just want to edit and run code. If the compiler comes with libraries, debugger and editor, or if the IDE comes with libraries and compiler doesn't matter. I want the matlab experience, not the gcc experience.

Example: A java IDE that can't set up java automatically for me (OR detect/configure an existing install without my intervention) is disappointing.
Yes, language encodes thought patterns and affects them too.

The software languages we use affect our thinking as much as the spoken languages we use, and to juxtapose the two simply emphasises how closely linked are our notions of spirituality and language used to describe it. calling out the spiritual and throwing the secular world of programming into the same sentence just makes me reconsider which is the driver and which the driven.
Nobody is saying that gun violence doesn't exist (though I wonder how much is limited to inner cities in areas none of us want to live in if we have a choice).

But we're talking at cross purposes. The first post talked about violence. The second talked about violence. The third in the sequence, yours, switched the discussion to talk about homicides. Not all violent crimes are homicides.
>'Out of life's school of war: What does not destroy me, makes me stronger.'

The original maxim is in the first person which seems to imply it should be considered an expression of a personal mantra (or indeed maxim) rather than an observation about people in general(which would be pretty dumb).
Some apps ask on install if you agree to share usage data. I can't say how Atom handles it, but it sounds like you're in unless you modify the config.

BTW, I'm less concerned and more just surprised to see Google Analytics used like this. I guess it really is the blurring of the lines between desktop and browser-based apps.

Maybe this GA usage is not unique, but it's new to me.

This is not a first world problem it is the universal human problem of finding meaning in life. This question is the fuel that keeps religions running. There are myriad supposed answers and even more practitioners that would like you as a client and will promise the answers you seek. Use the motivation, time, and resources you have today to search for your own answers. Your mind and body should be as sharp as possible to allow you to take a path of strength rather than weakness, and to put it more simply, to be capable of resisting being taken advantage of. You'd be prudent to dial in your sleep, nutrition, and physical activity while you're in this phase. This won't last forever and you will end up with beliefs about the meaning (or meaninglessness) of life, so my advice is to put your thumb on the scale - by ensuring your body and mind are in good condition - and make it more likely you land on a personally empowered outlook.
Both examples worked with Red Laser on my phone, but the "pretty-fied" one took quite a bit longer for the app to recognize.
Pandoc can output the same professional pdfs.
I suppose European Facebook addicts have to use their vpn for Facebook, and Netflix. Instead of just Netflix.
So many university recruiters at that level just suggest a minimum application criteria after which a lottery is applied to select acceptable applicants. A truly randomized lottery would ensure no bias in student selection.

If you have, let’s say, 3000 open positions and 15,000 applications of which all are academically qualified does it really matter who they pick for admission? It’s not like there is going to be any real world performance difference between candidate 1200 and 12000 if they are valedictorians with 4.0 GPAs.
We can compare the audience of an flamewar post about racism in US, vs the readership of a paper on fixed point theorems, and it makes sense that organizations that don't care about science like US universities choose to favor the former.
If you read that thread, it's very possible the change happened in that hour. It seems to have been at some point today.

I think a member of the team made it public ~15 minutes ago if I'm reading correctly.
Price's Law is a thing. It states that the square root of all scientists publish half of all scientific papers.

If you have 25 programmers on a project, it is rather likely that 4-6 of them do at least half of the work. That would be a 5x developer.

Very often, productivity is linked to perseverance. If you socialize and only actually codes 1-4 hours per day, you likely are far less productive than the on-the-spectrum programmer who pounds out code for an entire work day (or longer).
