If I really hated the banks, I would make big deposits, wait a couple weeks, then go into a local branch and take it all out as cash. I would do it in a one-party consent state, so that I could record everything. The instant any bank fails to allow immediate cash withdrawal for my demand deposit, I would run to the local TV news, turn over my video, and then run down to the courthouse to file a civil suit as I gleefully await a bank run.

But I don't hate the banks. I just think they're full of amoral profit-maximizers that will consistently place their own welfare above those of their "customers". If you lower your expectations a bit, you can do business with any bank quite comfortably. It's almost like dealing with Comcast, or AT&T. Expect the worst from them at the outset, and you can only be pleasantly surprised if they do better.
No medical condition found yet and the doctors so far say I'm healthy and overthinking. My theory is that my central nervous system is weak, but I haven't proven this and I haven't found a doctor who believes me.

Could be a medical condition, a diet issue, could be a mind issue - anxiety/depression, or it could be that from training as an endurance athlete, and now that I've stopped running my body is having trouble adapting. I read some research with 4 groups: male endurance trained, female endurance trained, male not trained, female no trained. After tests , male endurance trained had a heart pattern change and the other 3 subjects didn't have the same change. From 14-23 I trained at higher levels for distance running and now I do light walking.

I consider myself to be an active thinker, meaning that my mind is always contemplating some topic. Does my brain burn more calories than Expected and does it need certain nutrition to maintain health?

The diZiness is a miscommunication between the heart and the brain.

To be honest, the top stuff available for top $$ is also pretty bad. I am working now on a BI project and I am dealing with SAP BOBJ/HANA/Tableau/SFDC - it's an absolute nightmare. Nobody seems to realize that if you don't get to a point where on the same data team A can build view X with access Y and team B can build view X' with access Y', everybody will just keep using Excel and BI remains a word for a glorified database extraction tool. Maybe I should do a write up on this, I'd be interested to see if there is enough interest in the industry for consulting/better solutions.

You mean those in society with disposable income to invest (or a 401K). That's not quite the same as "society".

Sure, they were small-business entrepreneurs. As I said, they are Swearengen to Uber's Hearst, but their immigrant employees certainly benefit from the regulation, too.

I totally agree with your opinion of the default contract system. With mods it becomes WAY better. Contract Configurator [1] makes it really easy for people to make new contract packs with a simple config file and there are some pretty great packs out there that give it a much better progression.

I'm curious exactly what the quality of Canonical's legal advice is and how much those lawyers understand open source licensing and IP law in general. It took "two years of negotiations" for them to state that, for packages under the GPL, their GPL-incompatible license on Ubuntu as a whole did not apply.

https://www.fsf.org/news/canonical-updated-licensing-terms

https://sfconservancy.org/news/2015/jul/15/ubuntu-ip-policy/

(It's still the case that non-GPL binary packages in Ubuntu, that is, stuff under MIT, BSD, etc. licenses, may not be redistributed. This is legal for the same reason that using that code in proprietary software is legal.)

Wait, I thought those were "digital natives", i.e. never having known life without ubiquitous computers/tablets/cellphones? I've mostly heard the progression as Gen X (born in the 70s), then Gen Y (born in the 80s). After Gen Y it's supposed to be Millennials (born in the 90s/coming of age in the 00s), then Digital Natives (aforementioned "raised by the Internet").

But really, I think they just make it all up to suit their current viewpoint. I'm 38 and I've been told I straddle the line between Gen X and Gen Y. I jammed to Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in 9th grade while wearing flannel shirts and combat boots, so I'm Gen X...wait I also had an 80s electro revival phase wearing all black the following year, so I'm Gen Y...

You get the picture.

What the law actually requires is clicking for 52 hours.

But lets take your claim as a premise; why is it important that a person spend time learning? Suppose two people know the material equally well, but one of them learned it faster than the other. Why is that a good regulation? How does it benefit consumers to make it illegal to learn things fast?

I know a former algebraic geometer (lots of category theory) who learned Haskell very rapidly. Would it benefit consumers of his services to pass a law saying he needs to learn Haskell at a slower rate comparable to a RoR hipster without a math PhD?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Canonical were aware of this and have found a solution.

That said, I'd be interested to see what the solution was.
I'm very interested in this space. Had a "break-in" at my storage/office warehouse recently, and my camera-based alarm system failed me. It really wouldn't have mattered because it was a smash-and-grab that was over before the cops could have responded anyway.

I think the basic problem most alarm systems have is that wireless systems are generally vulnerable, and wired systems are an order of magnitude more difficult/expensive to install. I don't think there is a straightforward solution to this problem.

The Simplisafe vulnerability is still considerably difficult for an average burglar to use. I would be fairly surprised that any burglar would use it, as there are so many more attack vectors that could be exploited.
> A lot of them prefer this "lifestyle"... we try very hard to help the people that want help. Most don't.

As someone who's been homeless twice, I appreciate that you don't intend to offend, but this is a very loaded and offensive statement. You appear to work with homeless people and have very little sympathy for their situation, which I can understand but it still makes me a little sad.

Becoming homeless is something that can happen to anyone for any number of reasons, and there are different kinds of being homeless. Once you become homeless it becomes harder as time goes on to move back to something permanent. Booze and drugs can sometimes be a simple manner of being able to sleep, or to get away from the situation you're in or how you got there. Choices that seem nonsensical for those who have a warm bed every night make perfect sense when you're worn down by the elements and incredibly poor sleep. After a while the prospect of having to deal with the build up of shit in your life and get shit together becomes a bigger mountain to climb than carrying on when you are, even though your everyday struggle is a mountain of shit in itself.

It's not that people choose a lifestyle as such, it's that sometimes it feels less painful to have a permanent known level of shit in your life than to fight all the way back up to get a permanent place to live and risk being knocked back when you're already pretty fragile. Being homeless is the suckiest thing you can probably reasonably imagine.

I have a client that would like an app for managing their front of office work. He's a dermatologist.

I understand there's likely compliancy issues here. From what I've seen, it's not cheap to host patient data. Like, if I wanted to use Parse (RIP), I would need to host it on a server that meets HIPAA compliancy criteria, correct?

Anyone done work like this? My clients budget is a bit sensitive so, I'm curious how much something like this would cost to even develop for, much less deploying.

Don’t the modern Android phones with Trusted Execution Environment do about the same?
Most of San Francisco's homeless, around 70%, were living in San Francisco at the time they became homeless. Nearly half lived in San Francisco longer than ten years [1].

The homeless don't have a whole lot of say in the policies that affect them, such as affordable housing, policing that concentrates them in particular areas (most noticeable recently with the super bowl) and so on.

One reason among many that tech folk are noticing more homeless people is that the techies are moving into poorer neighborhoods (eg Market street and the TL) and causing rents to go up. Police officially or unofficially try to create homeless zones, and these become concentrations of addiction, disease, and filth.

The problem is that we don't use HTTP(S) for micro-services but rather ZeroMQ and/or RabbitMQ. Many async pub/sub platforms are much more complicated to test. I assume Hoverfly doesn't yet support other protocols but does it plan too?

Or maybe its just that micro-service at this point must mean simply RESTful API over HTTP(S) (which is sad because I think its a subpar protocol for IPC particularly pub/sub).

Given today's demand for streaming like apps I'm not sure I'll ever build a plain ole HTTP Request/Reply platform (which I guess is what most people equate to micro-service).
Not saying the policies are great, but how can you say that limited availability of housing and astronomical prices don't cause most of the homelessness? Anyway SF only claims that the bused-in people cost them half a million dollars. http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/09/11/2602391/san-franc...
It's not quite so "unbelievably cheap" when the minimum wage is $13/month.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-16/venezuela-...

The minimum wage in the U.S. is somewhere around $1,200/month, so a rough comparison (gallon of gas as proportion of income) might be if gas cost $10.00/gallon here.
Mongo isn't even "Javascript-friendly". It just accepts JSON for queries, that's all. JSON is approximately as related to Javascript as Javascript is related to Java.
Lol, no. It's mostly just an amalgamation of all the technologies and stupid fucking interview questions that you get.

I have 10-12 different documents. CS/OO (basics for reminders with some simple algorithms), .Net, SQL (I always forget this shit, it's why I have data layer and use ORMs + LINQ), LINQ, jQuery, Vanilla JS, HTML5+CSS, Architecture/Patterns, ASP.Net vs MVC, Tuning, etc.

Haven't updated them in a few years because I left the bubble. My interviews in the midwest are typically an hour or two at most with very little quizzing. At worst they ask you to make them a small simple app (which I find irritating but better than SF interviews).
Or, when two people meet, and find that incredibly they have multiple characteristics in common -- name, age, hometown, favorite book, childhood dog name, etc.

I needed a shared volume across multiple EC2 instances in a VPC. My use case is that multiple "ingress" boxes write files to the shared volume, and then a single "worker" box processes those files. This is a somewhat unusual use case in that it means one box is responsible for 99% of IO heavy operations, and the other boxes are responsible only for writing to the volume, with no latency requirements.

My solution was to mount an EBS on the "worker box," along with an NFS server. Each "ingress box" runs an NFS client that connects to the server via its internal VPC IP address, and mounts the NFS volume to a local directory. It works wonderfully. In three months of running this setup, I've had no downtime or issues, not even minor ones. Granted I don't need any kind of extreme I/O performance, so I haven't measured it, but this system took less than an hour to setup and fit my needs perfectly.
I'm really curious what numerator and denominator you have in mind, then... are you somehow using fractional internship units? :)

> If Uber ultimately goes public, then the owner will be society

thats a ludicrous reductionism as to what "publicly traded" company actually means and it discredits the rest of otherwise reasonable argument to say this.
> Of course, the point of the legislative branch is to restrict expansions of power from the other branches.

That's almost exactly the opposite of the point of the legislative branch, since the other branches have very little power not explicitly granted by the legislature, and the legislative branch principally acts by defining and granting functions to the executive and judicial branches.

> Theoretically the legislative branch has the ability to restrict the capabilities of federal agencies

More to the point, federal agencies only exist because they are created by Congress, and only have powers because they are given them by Congress.

Its not a theoretical power that Congress has over them, but a practical one whose exercise is the only reasons the agencies exist and have any power at all.

If Congress doesn't take action that you think it should against a federal agency, that's because a sufficiently large portion of Congress doesn't want to take that action, not because Congress has only a theoretical but not practical power over the agency.

> but it's extremely unlikely we will ever see a heavy ruling against them.

Congress doesn't make rulings, that's the judicial branch. Congress has substantially restricted the powers of commissions and even abolished them. (A notable example being the one that served as a structural model for pretty much all other "independent" regulatory agencies, the Interstate Commerce Commission, whose powers were stripped in a series of deregulation movements culminating in the abolition of the Commission in 1995.)
"And there are studies that show walking is just as good, and it certainly wears down the body less than your alternative."

I have seen those studies and I tend to agree with them. My own personal experience supports the notion that walking is extremely healthful and provides almost all of the benefits you have in mind.

That is, if you're using measures like "do I feel good" "do I look good" "have I kept off those 20 pounds".

I however believe that there are more important measures: "can I run a few miles for help" "can I perform CPR for 10 minutes continuously" "can I lift and manipulate this charged hoseline".

I owe it to you and your family to be able to do these things. I measure your worth, to some degree, on your ability to do these things for me and my family. I don't care about what you look like or how many steps you did today.
Holding down a job isn't relevant. They did a job for us, we owe them care in the face of the disability that job created.
The Python Cloud Debugger works with the standard (unmodified) CPython 2.7.x. Breakpoints are implemented by rewriting Python bytecode at runtime. The debugger inserts a method call at the breakpoint location in a code object. This method tells the debugger that the code reached a particular point. Generator functions are particularly tricky because they need to maintain correct offsets at "yield" points.

This source file implements all of it:
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-debug-python/bl...
That's an angle I didn't think about. Just switch to one of the other clouds like DO that's unlikely to compete on that. Also, keep your stuff provider agnostic where possible. Stuff can always happen.

I'm currently setting up a couple servers using LXC with btrfs.

I ending up choosing LXC (as opposed to LXD, docker, rkt, etc.) because I wanted something relatively straight-forward. I just wanted some containers I could create, log in to and configure.

If this was a bigger deployment, I'd take the time to use docker or something else. But for now, just being able to get going quickly is nice. For backup / failover, I can btrfs send / receive the containers to another host and start them there.

It's a completely fallacious argument. Using MongoDB doesn't save you time, it just shifts the effort towards a later point, where it will require several times as much effort to fix shit, which may not even succeed and you may end up with corrupted data.

>They don't need to merge it into the kernel though.

Then could you explain what this commit is:

Canonical cannot ship ZFS in binary form. Kernel modules are derivative works of the kernel, and thus they must be distributed under GPLv2.
@jeremy - that's helpful! Could you hint at the way you persist sparse models to the DB in R. Especially if you are changing your variables pretty frequently. do you use something like Postgres JSONB (which is funky in R).

Also about scoring in another language - is this really worthwhile for you ? I have often debated just throwing 128GB of RAM on an R machine and calling it a day. As I figure, your "real time" requirements are probably seconds or even minutes (similar to mine).
