Not sure how poets can be considered "safe" from robots when they're already priced out of being poets for a living by the cost of merely living. Poets weren't safe from white collar work, nevermind robots.

There is absolutely no economic demand for poets, so there is no incentive for robots to do their job cheaper or more efficiently.

I wouldn't feel comfortable in one of these buildings. I designed and built a timber frame home, but I look at this "panelized wood" and see a glued product produced by corporations which are more interested in profit. There has been a string of failures in similar products as corporations extract their profit and don't really care how their wood performs twenty-five years down the road. Glued wood is tricky by nature, and both complex safety and health implications are introduced by its use.

I dug a bit. The legal ground of charging families of victim is this: When a person dies, his legal heir inherits all the rights and duties associated to his property (NOT his property itself. Civil Code, article 896.) The company asks damages from the deceased's property, which is a duty to be fulfilled by whoever inherited the property. In case the family members declared to abandon inheritance when the victim deceased, however, they are not liable.
Unless she's racking up that many new debts daily, she could put a stop to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Debt_Collection_Practices...

> The Act prohibits certain types of "abusive and deceptive" conduct when attempting to collect debts, including the following:

A collections agency that continues to contact you after you demand they cease contact starts to owe you money very quickly.

We're developing a learning platform for Anatomy, called Kenhub[0] and we've built our own quizzes with some aspects of spaced repetition already. We're looking at ways of taking it to the next level in terms of adaptability. We're also considering ways of re-purposing our original content to reach wider audience (we have thousands of our own anatomy illustrations and meta-data). Perhaps there's a way to collaborate with you?

I ran numbers on your proposal and capital costs were surprisingly lower than what I thought. It looks like capital costs to replace all the plants would be on the order of $250B at current pricing. (obviously, if we tried such a quick replacement, fuel costs could spike up, meaning actual costs are a bit higher). I'm surprised this isn't brought up as an option more often.
I've actively thought about creating something like this where you could anonymously tie those stories to the real names of VCs

Ah, I see. Agreed!
The similarity is specious. That is, if you look at a feature listing, they look similar. But dig into details and they clearly differ.

Origins: one starts out with proprietary developed functionality and with tons of money in a skunkworks project, using a consolidated team of developers mainly within one company through the fs development and stabilization; the other starts with an idea in a research paper (not called btrfs then because it wasn't an implementation), slow recruitment that'd eventually involve dozens of major companies, and is on a split stabilize and feature development track.

And then if you go back to look at features (commands in particular) in more detail there are some big differences that may or may not affect specific workflows. e.g. btrfs snapshots are unique and independent file trees, in effect there's no distinction between the original and snapshot, both are read-writable, modifying one doesn't affect the other, either can be deleted without affecting the other (ZFS has a distinct parent-child relationship between filesystems, clones, snapshots). Growing btrfs volumes by adding then (at some point balancing, which may be optional depending on the utilization and layout) is a lot easier and faster than ZFS. ZFS offers raid7 (3 parity drives), Brfs does not. Btrfs offers online defragmentation, ZFS does not. ZFS is more stable for $reasons. Really even ext4 and XFS are considered more stable still, although I hesitate to say Btrfs is not stable or unstable. I'd say Btrfs is earning trust, where the others have earned it (with very edge case exceptions, and there simply are more such edge cases for Btrfs still being found and fixed)

So they're actually quite different.

Thanks for the reply. Added "try memorang" to my to-do.

I imagine three use cases for myself in the nearest future:

* Learn some new foreign language,

* Upload and study a bunch of book quotes that I'd like to always keep in memory, and

* Create a card deck for the course I'm teaching.

Hope to get to it soon.
It's clear you're ignorant of the capabilities netapp filers had, even back then.

WAFL uses copy on write trees uniformly for all data and metadata. No currently live block is ever modified in place. By default a checkpoint/snapshot is generated every 10 seconds. NFS operations since the last checkpoint are written into NVRAM as a logical recovery log. Checkpoints are advanced and reclaimed in a double buffering pattern, ensuring there's always a complete snapshot available for recovery. The filer hardware also has features dedicated to operating as a high availability pair with nearly instant failover.

The netapp appliances weren't/aren't perfect, but they are far better than you're assuming. They were designed to run 24/7/365 on workloads close to the hardware bandwidth limits. For most of the 2000's, buying a pair of netapps was a simple way to just not have issues hosting files reliably.

Perhaps you should take your own advice and dial back the arrogance a bit.

It amazes me on this page the number of people who are wrestling with various ideas whilst labouring under the axiom that money creation mirrors expended effort. That's exactly how you don't get rich. Here's a recipe for getting rich:

1. get a privileged position of money creation

2. get the state to underwrite your losses

3. issue as much of it as you can

4. do not spend money on doing actual shit if you can help it
I get your points, and they're totally valid criticisms of Rust, but I see them as learning curve issues as opposed to oppressive things that are incompatible with certain development practices.

In C it's easy to pick up the language, but to manage memory properly is very hard, if not complely unclear in certain cases, C++ is similar.

Rust does have direct support for exposing FFI from C quickly in both directions. Objective-C while it could easily incorporate C, it is not easy to go the other direction because of the runtime requirements. The safety of Rust requires learning some patterns to develop properly, but is quite honestly amazing in terms of the guarantees you get.
> I continue to find your phrasing extremely off-putting, condescending and snobbish. I suggested a few ways of wording your concerns better, but it seems you're intent on remaining a snob.

Thats a bit over the top, but I'll concede that my wording needs work. I enjoy discussing concrete problems and projects - hopefully fixing this will help get more of that. You did make some very good points as to why we avoid mutation, and I will try and evaluate Rust in more depth.
It's not that we don't support or respect privacy, but that everything we do is to foster a positive environment of collaboration to minimize content creation redundancy and build morale.

Been thinking about doing the customer version of this.

[after a long indepth technical discussion with a qualified opportunity, quoting, resources allocated, ready to pull the trigger on a large project]

me: So we are ready to go, waiting on the PO

them: Sure, just working through our process

(falls off internets, doesn't respond to phone calls/emails/rejects visits)

Months go by

them: We set up an RFP and bought from someone else.

me: Er ... you used our confidential material (marked as such) to set up a public RFP, that you didn't even invite us to, or respond to our queries? Seriously?

them: Yes.

[bangs head on table, but it gets better ... no ... the other thing]

them: the system we bought (not yours), isn't performing nearly as well as your system that we POCed on.

me: So? Why not call your vendor and have them help you?

them: they aren't able to. They don't know this stuff as well as you do.

me: So, let me get this right ... you want me to provide consulting services to help a competitor of ours ... compete ... with us?

them: Not so much consulting, as free advice and guidance. Like you did during the POC.

[resumes banging head on table]

them: hello? whats that noise?

[years pass]

them: we need to rethink our strategy, it was an order of magnitude slower than your unit at about 2-3x the cost.

me: no kidding Sherlock

them: we want to start this process again ....

me: (fits of laughter) uh ... no.

I am a JavaScript Developer. I built Kamber on Kemal which is a static blog server (http://github.com/f/kamber).

I'm not familiar with statically typed languages as a JS dev. Despite this, it was very easy to develop even I'm not good at statically typed languages, and it is too fast. When you compare Kamber to Jekyll it's 15x faster, doesn't require a server. And it's fully compatible to Heroku with a simple buildpack.

> "0.5% over four years is odds-on very likely to be zero..."

More importantly, that even if you beat the odds and the company is a smashing success, 0.5% over four years is likely worth less money than the cash/stock bonuses major tech companies are handing out anyways, especially accounting for liquidation preferences and ratchets.

The big lie in startup equity isn't how unlikely they are to succeed, it's how little you would walk away with even if they do.

TL;DR: A VC shares his positive experience when he saved his commute time by offering 3x fare if the auto-rickshaw driver can get him to his office faster than usual.

Nice write-up. But i'm more interested in what happens next?

1. In return for your 3x fare, can he deliver consistent savings everytime?

2. How would you react when one day, despite your 3x offer, the optimised-for-time routing takes longer than the shortest-path that you would follow in your car?

3. Will the 3x fare continue to have the same motivational effect after 6months of this arrangement?

4. Did throwing money at a problem actually solve it? Or did it promote an inefficient solution (3x fare) and stifle actual innovation(remote-work facility)?
This reports that Avast, an antivirus program, inserts itself as a man-in-the-middle on all SSL connections on computers it's installed on. This actually makes sense; if it wants to scan for malware in web pages and file downloads coming from https sites, it has to either do this or mess with the internals of web browsers, and MitM is easier and less likely to cause technical problems.

The problem is, making a secure SSL endpoint is really hard; if you aren't very very careful in how you distinguish good from bad SSL certificates, then users are vulnerable to having their connections tampered with by things like untrusted Wifi routers. Web browsers put a lot of work into distinguishing good and bad SSL certificates, and Avast's MitM interferes with this working correctly. In particular, this article reports that Avast will accept revoked SSL certificates, which is a problem.

What ought to happen here, is that Avast (and other AV vendors) should be coordinating with Chrome (and other browser makers) to provide an API for antivirus software to get access and scan, in a way that doesn't interfere with the normal SSL authentication machinery. I suspect that browser vendors are hesitant because an API created for that purpose would likely also get hijacked and used by malware and adware.
Can someone explain what this technology is about, I wasn't able to get any sort of understanding from this post.

What exactly are they printing ? Are the transistors actually made of plastic instead of doped silicon ? If so what feature sizes are possible with this technology ? How does the manufacturing process compare with Si ? etc...

GlusterFS now supports its own (out of band) checksumming. So you could have a Btrfs brick, and an XFS brick to hedge your fs bets. And also setup glusterfs volumes to favor XFS for things like VM images and databases, and Btrfs to favor everything else.
Of course you need to be careful how you acquire and even use it to maintain good anonymity.
Does Avast still install the fake certs if you decline to install its "web shield" during installation?
Friendship isn't really about emotional support. To think that working in a high-level position at a growing company doesn't require getting along with people is incredibly naïve.

In OCaml, you currently need separate operators to add integers together versus adding floats together:

(* current compiler *)
let i8 = 4 + 4;;
let f8 = 4.0 +. 4.0;;

(* is possible with extension *)
let i8 = 4 + 4;;
let f8 = 4.0 + 4.0;;

Similarly, a separate print function was necessary for printing integers vs strings or floats. With this extension, a single polymorphic function is now possible:

(* current compiler *)
print_int i8;;
print_float f8;;

(* is possible with extension *)
print i8;;
print f8;;

So this extension opens up a whole new level of pretty OCaml code.
It's a change in pricing structure. I'm not sure that is a completely different business model. They previously sold yearly upgrades. Now they sell a monthly subscription to give you ongoing upgrades. Not dramatically different.

Also, Adobe's customers were often prosumers, and the $1,500 price point for the product suite is much less appealing than $30/month. Any prosumer can afford $30/month for Photoshop, etc.
> Second, try to really re-evaluate your fear of medication.

Seconded.

And know that those medications works wonders for lots of people, at least Ritalin which is the one I have seen in use.

Only be aware that the effects seems to differ from person to person, so work with a qualified person when trying these things out. I have seen some weird examples (same dose giving wildly different effect, even on siblings, same weight and generally similar) which is why it seems most professionals will generally start at 10mg and work carefully up to around 40 - 80mg/day. As long as instructions are followed however, highly recommended.

While I experienced this pain first hand I'm not sure that the FS deserved a 100% of the blame. There is enough to blame to go around for the userspace, filesytems, block device layer and disk controllers, hardware & firmware.

If you start at the bottom of the stack you have all sorts of issues with drives, their firmware and controllers doing their own levels of caching & re-ordering. Over the years the upper layer developers (block layer / fs) had to deal with hardware that simply lies about what happened or is just plain buggy.
Adobe has a monopoly with Photoshop and they basically just raised their prices by going subscription. I don't know a single person who's been happy about it, but they deal with it because there's not really anything they can do about it besides using an older version of Photoshop if they have access.

Not sure why it's surprising at all that they have more revenue. It's not like the people who were using it can just stop using it; it'll take time for an true alternative to come up if there ever will be one.
My GPG keys are protected by a passphrase and that has, so far, deemed enough subjective security in order to allow me to rather liberally store copies of the keys as backups on computers and servers I use. It may depend on your personal security requirements whether that is not enough.
The problem with every app like this is the lack of good quality material. For language learning, I prefer learning whole sentences as examples of an appropriate context. But creating good lists of sentences & translations is cumbersome and just throwing a tool at the "crowd" doesn't automatically get you quality content.

That said from all these tools I prefer anki since it has a web-based UI and an android app.

It's interesting how wrong the speculations were about robbers. Their experts thought it was a Hollywood style "Reservoir Dogs" robbery with precision planning, recruitment from the "dark web" and that the loot was likely already out of the country (possibly hidden up a horses ass). One guy even speculated that they tripped the alarm on purpose, to see what the response would be.

What turned out was pretty far from that. Still, it was worth the watch, for the recreation of drilling through the wall, decent into the elevator shaft and safe deposit box smashing.
I just don't see how people want to deal with this, I mean I can understand if they think if they need $x in order to do $y (but for most, usually having that $x isn't the only thing people will consider in order for one to do $y, and increasingly acts as a negative signal, not to mention all the bs people complain about which gets annoying to listen to when they keep doing the same thing…), but I think we've long passed the Rubicon as far as this is concerned. I perceive it as insanity, and I almost don't feel bad anymore if people keep playing this game with their lives, makes it easier for people who opt out.
That's odd. As another anecdote, I use this nearly everyday to access internal services on work's network (I work remotely). I use Chrome normally and have Firefox set up to use my "SOCKS over SSH" proxy and can't recall the last time I had any issues with it.

The simplest answer tends to be the right one. Allow student loan debt to be discharged in bankruptcy and that will create pressure to not loan as much, and to keep interest rates low to prevent default. That will in turn put pressure on tuition to be low. The cognitive dissonance of idolizing the power of the free market, while special casing student loan debt, is somehow lost on a lot of otherwise rational people.
