Funny, CentOS 7 was based on Fedora 18-20ish. You'd be hard pressed to find non-exotic hardware that it doesn't support. Also, RHEL is supported a LOT longer[1] than Ubuntu's LTS[2] releases (5 years for Ubuntu vs 11+ for RHEL). As to new software, there are now software collections[3], which render that more or less a moot point.

You're right, it was a shavette. This was the one and only time I've gotten a straight blade shave, but at the time, I was often shaving with a double edge razor at home. The blade in the shavette appeared very similar, and I can definitely tell the difference between new blade and old. To me it was a clear case of "penny wise, pound foolish". *I just noticed from your link that the type of blade used was the DE blade, about which the author says "I cannot, in good conscience, recommend any shavette style razor that uses DE blades."
> you can still buy the Symbolics OpenGenera LISP environment

I don't think this is still the case. I sent an email to their sales email address, and heard nothing. I also tried contacting their engineer, and even found the MIT email address of the current copyright holder nothing.

I also reached out to Peter Paine, but he only sells Symbolics hardware.

Is it still possible to legitimately obtain the software?

I think the OP is stating the opposite, that being a physics grad student would imply he probably couldn't run the business as well as the Groupon founders.
21 signs you're mentally stronger than average
Groupon sell a different (incompatible) vision to the businesses and the customers.

To the business they sell the notional idea of gaining repeat customers.

to the customer they sell the (very real) idea of a new massively discounted place to visit each and every day.

Basically why would customers return to a place at full price given that they've got 17 new places to try at 80% off.

then you add on to that the reams of negative stories about the high pressure sales tactics they use and the negative reaction builds up.
> Either way, I'm not going to hire or fire you based solely on your answer to this question. It's just a lever to get you talking about yourself.

If this truly is your motivation, say as much in a preface to the question. I'm dreadfully sensitive to the smell of people actively refusing to ask the question that they actually want answered. I don't like this smell. It causes me a large amount of trouble and anxiety while I attempt to use my insufficiently-developed psychic powers to divine the real question.

Sleep Hack: Keep Your Feet Outside Your Covers
I think it's also important to point out this is cheaper then AWS Glacier. You could think of B2 as pure backup for now, and after tracking metrics expanded it out to more products. I doubt even Backblaze would suggest you make this your primary, mission-critical storage, hence the Beta title. But even so, there are plenty of non-main use cases. Especially at this price.
> Is there a possibility to request the backed up data in physical form.

Yes. In our traditional 8 year old product line of online backup, you can order a restore on an external USB hard drive for $189 (you keep the hard drive, and the cost includes world wide shipping). We FedEx the restore to you anywhere in the world. (We ship to Europe all the time, but add an EXTRA 24 hours for that to arrive.) Oh, if you only have 128 GBytes of data you can order a USB thumb drive of that FedEx'ed to you for only $99.

B2 absolutely supports this USB drive restore functionality. We call the feature "Snapshots" (you take a "Snapshot" of some of your data, then you can either download it as one large zip file or you can have it sent to you via USB Hard Drive).

Our online backup product tells you that the restore is up to 4 TBytes, but we have prepared Drobos as "special orders" for customers that were much larger than that. We aren't trying to make profit from that part of the business, just kind of break even on materials and shipping and create customer goodwill. You would be AMAZED how happy some customers are to receive 8 TBytes of Drobo with all their data they thought they might have lost. :-)

"Governments on the other hand... Have an awfully bad track-record of power abuse"

Well ... yes, but isn't that just an unnecessarily specific version of the true statement "Humans have an awfully bad track record of power abuse"?
Hey, yes I run it. Just set it up a few days ago. I'd love any help you want to offer as far as getting the word out and getting it started - this is the hardest part.

The problem with "what is your greatest weakness?" and the like is that the person asking doesn't actually want an honest answer.

I'd probably re-word the OP's question a little bit to make it more clear, but it is a fundamentally different style of question, and can be quite useful.

We are limiting each account to 200 buckets right now until we gain some experience. Each bucket can hold unlimited numbers of files.

We really want feedback on these decisions, so as you run into issues just let us know. Many of the limits are arbitrary, I think the 200 buckets was so we didn't have to create a paginated list on your logged in webpage for version 1.

This is a pretty good article outlining the state of the art in immunology. I thought the technique for single-cell handling was quite interesting.

I work daily with flow cytometry and formerly worked daily with mass cytometry-- these tools (especially CyTOF!) are really giving us a glut of data to sift through that becomes unmanageable very quickly. I think there's definitely room for information technologists to help out here. There's already algorithmic ways of parsing the vast amounts of data that we get, but they're very imperfect and depicting the scope is nearly impossible.
Travel Souvenirs: An Interview with Joanna Walsh
That's a silly comparison to make. 50k acres is 80 square miles, a square nearly 9 miles long on each side. At that point you're going to have dozens of people living either on that land or nearby.

Here's an agricultural company that owns 10 combines and some 20+ other trucks and they claim to harvest 1500 acres a day. If you've got a 50k acre farm you're talking spending a full month with those folks harvesting your crop. So that's probably 2-3 dozen people. http://www.frederickharvesting.com/equipment.html

EPA emissions limits are based on grams of pollutant per horsepower-hour. In order to reach compliance, your emissions control equipment needs to reduce pollution much faster than it reduces efficiency.

It's not uncommon for illegally chipped/straight-piped trucks to see 50% improvements in fuel efficiency, but they're belching out tens or hundreds of times the volume of common pollutants (depending on the pollutant)

This is the part that reveals the whole thing as nonsense. My "ideal job" is not what I'm "looking for", therefore this conclusion is impossible.

Gaming questions properly demonstrates a willingness to deceive. There exist people who are quite clever and flexible, but entirely unwilling to deceive a potential future co-worker or employer.
So, one of the interesting ways Caltrain can expand is to simply add additional rolling stock (cars) to handle capacity. However, there's a problem with that: each additional car reduces acceleration and directly effects the timetable.

For example, currently caltrain consists are 1 locomotive + 5 cars. Locomotives range from 2,500 usable horsepower (after HEP) to 3,600.

The highest horsepower locomotives, the MP36PH-3C's, are pretty much reserved for the baby bullet service. This means that to add an additional car to a train would increase weight on average by 20% - a big addition to a train that has is running flat out at nearly all times.

The problem that caltrain faces is pretty simple: they can't expand capacity without significant investment of capital into additional locomotives and rolling stock.

> Unlike BitCoin or cash payments, Taler ensures that governments can easily track their citizen's income and thus collect sales, value-added or income taxes. Taler is thus a currency for the mainstream economy, and not the black market.

This simultaneously implies that both Bitcoin and cash are not suitable for the mainstream economy. I think the opinion that cash should be given up would be fairly controversial, even today. Furthermore, a law abiding citizen will still pay taxes on their Bitcoin income - the same way they would for cash. Just because Bitcoin makes it harder to prove tax evasion doesn't mean we should eschew Bitcoin and cash. The technology exists regardless, governments will have to adapt.

> When you pay with Taler, your identity does not have to be revealed to the merchant. The bank, government and mint will also never learn how you spent your electronic money. However, you can prove that you paid in court if necessary.

This feature is offering nothing not already available, although it seems to imply that one could not prove payment with Bitcoin, which is false, as it is trivial.

It depends where you live. I've had great bagels all over NYC and upper NJ, obviously, but also in Boston, Charlottesville, VA, Sarasota, FL and so on.

Bagels made according to the "traditional way" don't have any eggs or fats in them. They're chewier and denser (and more flavorful IMO), but they also get hard/stale very quickly. Thus, I've found the most important aspect of a good bagel shop is very high turnover in the product and baking new batches throughout the day. Typically this means a place that bakes everything from scratch in house and only serves bagels. A bakery that offers bagels as one of its many products will probably add egg or oil to keep the bagels palatable longer, which is fine, but means the texture will be different, more like a roll.

They fight back exploit peddlers like Zerodium or criminals who sell their findings to the highest bidder. You know, PR.

The headline is kinda silly in the sense that if Project Zero focuses on any software in the world, they'll most likely find exploitable vulnerabilities. With Kaspersky the ridiculous thing is that they have stuff compiled without /GS, which e.g. since VS2005 has required you to actively disable it, as it's on by default.
Right - Exactly. Pharma drugs are granted monopolistic power by the government. Or even duopolistic power. That's exactly what ken47 and I are saying.

I'm submitting this as a contrast to recent discussion about the disaster in Japan four and a half years ago and nuclear disasters in general. This shows the current, human condition at play in these situations and what the effect is on people who live through it, rather than viewing a disaster from the lens of history or merely looking at abandoned structures.

When debating issues about how disaster can be handled and how responses can be made faster with better decision making, it's great to understand how this process has played out and where it leaves people living afterward. It's also important to think about what we can do to help people in less than ideal circumstances in the present.

In general, the hacker mindset is one of developing creative solutions and solving problems. Let's try to foster the kind of thinking that allows us to help people by solving their problems, rather than point out how other people's thinking might be wrong.

Additionally, in situations like these where the most important aspect becomes the human element, it is also reasonable to simply hear from other's experiences and to try to learn from those most directly affected.
A few years ago, I was fresh out of college and working at large university with a very good teaching hospital. I was making $30k/year, but had amazing Cadillac health insurance. I started developing asthma (unbeknownst to me. It was caused by a very gradual onset allergy, and I had never had asthma before), wasn't able to walk up a short flight of stairs on my way to work one day, and, instead of turning right to go to the office, I decided to turn left to go to the urgent care center attached to the school.

I wasn't waiting more than 5 minutes (for a walk in!), was seen by two doctors and at least one nurse, including a pulmonary specialist, got a chest x-ray, a breathing test, lots of stethoscope exams, and diagnosed (correctly!) with asthma. I don't remember how long I was seen for, but it was a very long time, for what most doctors would probably consider to be a fairly straightforward diagnosis. (Oh! And it was all free -- they didn't even bother to mail me a statement afterwards. I gave them a $20 bill for the co-pay, $5 for the prescription and that was the end of it)

Around the same time, a friend of mine, in a different school, going to a not great school clinic with his school's official insurance plan, was in a similar situation to yours, where a collapsed lung was misdiagnosed as "you're just tired, get more sleep," without an exam. (Granted, as an engineering major, he did need to get more sleep, but still!) As you might imagine, there were some pretty hefty hospital bills later on when his condition deteriorated...

Anyway, your situation sounds terrible, and I wouldn't be surprised if the collapsed lung misdiagnosis was fairly common. "Collapsed lung" just seems like one of those things that's really easy to misdiagnose (in some presentations, at least) as a number of other things, unless you're good with a stethoscope, and/or have access to medical imaging equipment (and the will to use it!). Ugh.

It's so absurd to me how fantastic and thorough my treatment was at one school (I was on the same insurance plan the students were), and how badly the screwed up a similar situation at a school just 10 miles away -- both with nearly equal tuition rates and health insurance plan costs.

Actually the GAU-8's ammunition was derived from that of the ( non-Gatling ) Oerlikon KCA cannon, mounted by the SAAB JA-37 Viggen. Six times the energy of most other 30mm aircraft rounds. Hughes developed a podded KCA that was tested on a wide range of aircraft, down to little Broncos!

Later, a cut-down four-barrel but still full-power version of the GAU-8 was fitted in a pod as the GPU-5 and briefly carried by F-16s:

The blog post links to previous analysis of vulnerabilities in Sophos and ESET products.

"Many of the vulnerabilities described in this paper could have been severely limited by correct security design, employing modern isolation and exploit mitigation techniques. However, Sophos either disables or opts-out of most major mitigation technologies, even disabling them for other software on the host system."

"Unfortunately, analysis of ESET emulation reveals that is not the case and it can be trivially compromised. This report discusses the development of a remote root exploit for an ESET vulnerability and demonstrates how attackers could compromise ESET users."

So, yes, definitely.
That's why there's the magnet links, isn't it?

I feel like Oakland is the place to be right now. It's super convenient to the city. BART isn't the worst thing in the world -- it gets you where you need to go. Housing prices aren't too bad (I'm paying $1k for a 1 bedroom). Traffic isn't too bad. Office prices aren't bad either -- the startup I work for got a great deal on real estate.
If you want to spend the time to dig into it, Caltrans has a more detailed dataset of historical traffic [1]. I used to research traffic in the Bay Area, and it was fascinating to see the way in which it responded to different events.
