It also requires a willingness to lock up dangerous people, with two very clear cut cases of the Colorado movie theater and Virginia Tech killers. The former so alarmed his university psychiatrist that she alerted the school authorities (as I recall, she was also on the responsible committee), but they dropped the issue when he withdrew a few weeks before the shooting. In the latter, a state judge order the shooter to get outpatient treatment, but the state dropped the ball in seeing that that happened or reporting it to the Feds to put him on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which would have prevented him from buying his guns.

The flip side is that while mental illness is not surprisingly strongly correlated with mass shooters, the reverse is not true, the vast majority of the mentally ill are not a danger to anyone but themselves.

I am sure Google Cloud has VPC stuff for all the components, including Cloud SQL. It lacks the variety (No PostgreSQL, Oracle, MSSQL, or MariaDB). All traffic is encrypted by default on all posts (Google Cloud does this for free) too.
I don't see why they couldn't add VR headsets once they gain traction. If they started out requiring hardware that was expensive and almost none had then it would be difficult to reach critical mass. It would be even better I'd they didn't need anything but a phone to get started.
OP here, Thanks for noticing the linkbait work-around. I thought it was a useful piece, but similarly didn't want to reward the original title.
Technically speaking, it needn't be a longer-than-usual-wheelbase to be considered a limousine. (Though if strictly defining a limo, it should have a partition between you and the chauffer.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limousine

FWIW, stretch limos are really only appropriate for larger parties of more than 2, for conducting business.

Not that anybody today should care, and I can't remember where I learned this, but effectively, a limo used to just mean "car". Business people and big execs would use limos so that they could continue working while in transit, and not have to deal with the distraction of having to talk to cabbies and whatnot.

Stretch limos were employed to conduct business on the go with larger parties, again, so that business would not be interrupted despite the need for travel.

It wasn't until hollywood and prom-goers decided that limousine effectively equated to stretch limousine and started using them 'inappropriately' that the connotation became what it is today.
The Downround Tracker
When a firearm is used for harm, it is the direct instrument of harm. Nobody was ever mowed down by the execution of a crypto routine.

Also, if you're a "good guy" and carry a gun, it is in hopes that you don't use it. By contrast you actually use crypto as a matter of day-to-day safeguarding of communication and documents. Each time you https: somewhere, you're "firing the crypto gun".

Crypto is no more a weapon than oxygen. The demented mind of a killer burns carbohydrates in the presence of oxygen, just like your brain. Oxygen also burns down buildings. We can't ban oxygen.

Crypto is an essence, like oxygen; we need it to have confidence in privacy and authenticity so that we can proceed in day to day business.

We don't have to fire a gun at some target in order to proceed in day to day life; when that is the case, it's called war.

In the same way that facebook shut down parse, I am afraid that google is going to shut down google cloud. And reluctantly have become okay with relying on AWS.
I thought I was reading an excerpt from some cult book of some kind. I think it's the honesty that resonates for me. Thanks for sharing, marincounty, and keep it coming.

Edit - just realised mc has been behind many of the most interesting comments I've read over the last few months. Might not agree with it all, but enjoy reading them!

I spent a good amount of time a few years ago exploring the DMT realm, and its totally, completely and inexplicably mysterious. Either consciousness is a non-local phenomena and when you smoke it you end up in some kind of parallel dimension or for whatever crazy reason evolution decided it was important to incorporate these alien beings into our subconscious mind. Those with a rigid reductionist perspective would do well to explore it a bit. IMO there's nothing more mind expanding and question inducing than DMT, and it just begs out to science: "STUDY ME!"
Agreed. All I'm saying is that there are plenty of hobbies that don't require many tools, and that even hobbies that require some stuff can be done fruitfully and fulfillingly with just the minimum. Some people enjoy that kind of minimalism, some people don't. Lots of people have to make do because they can't afford equipment, but they can still find fulfilment in life.

I'm in a position similar to Sivers, in that I don't have a permanent home, and I'm unlikely to find one in the near future. Like him I'm in a furnished apartment with barely any stuff of my own save for clothes, a laptop, a phone, a kindle, and a handful of other belongings. Some days I really yearn for a place of my own, and the things I could have in there...

But when I read someone saying they cannot wrap their head around how anyone could be fulfilled with living like Sivers... I feel obliged to respond. This is how my life is, and it's fine, I'm quite happy.

I play music with my friends in a rental rehearsal space, I meditate, I take photos with my phone, I code on my laptop, I discuss things, I read, all those things I listed. It's not some awful deprived life of poverty just because I don't have several bags of camera equipment!
Can we just nuke the entire argument in this thread about vehicle deaths and push self-driving cars as hard as possible?

Pot. Alcohol. Texting. Talking on the phone. They all impair you terribly while driving. That does not require prohibition. That requires taking the human out of the loop for driving ~2.5 tons of metal down the highway.
Yeah I guess. On second thought, perhaps it would be a step up if I could "rent anything" from one app. Imagine the selection of Amazon and the convenience of Uber in one interface.

On third thought, maybe Amazon could just do this ...
Do you have any source that Spotify has been acquired by Google? It sounds like baseless rumormongering to me. This wouldn't be a good way to announce such an acquisition anyway.
Correct, I should have clarified - I mean the back-off is enforced by a distinct piece of hardware (vs it being enforced by the OS). So theoretically they could burn in the firmware for the SE at the point of manufacturing and it could not be updated, but you could still update the phone OS like normal. I imagine they will consider doing this going forward so they cannot comply with these types of requests from the government.
Somehow my sister collected enough gift certificates when I was a kid to get a nice viola. (note to non-music nerds, not a misspelling, its kind of a big violin)

The music instrument market is weirder now and uses cost as a race and class filter to keep the wrong people out. Collecting $25K for a conservatory class instrument in gift certificates in 2016 is a bit unreasonable, but "in the old days" they gave out scholarships based on ability and didn't use the art as a filter on finances, race, and class like they filter for today. Even today you could collect enough gift certs to get an instrument for the joy of music and learning, just not to get a scholarship.
As many others have noted:
1.) The dataset implies that Europe is the most contentious area when it is more likely we just have the best historical records in Wikipedia
2.) The data set is dirty
3.) Because of (1) these are only going to be battles that Europe has found significant. The former Aztec Empire for example is evidently either the most peaceful in History or we just don't know a lot about all the tribes it has massacred in the format that Wikipedia likes.

At the very least he "every" in the title should be dropped. I'd suggest "Historically Significant Battles from a Western Perspective on Wikipedia"
It's more about the advertising than the money raised. If they fund then they also have proof of interest which future investors will want to see.

Can you establish that marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol? If so, I'd be very interested to see your sources and metrics. If not, I'd be very interested to see a justification for why marijuana should remain illegal.
I'm a founder and the guy in charge of the $$$. This sentence doesn't resonate for me: "Logging into our company bank accounts to keep track of transactions has been pretty painful (online business banking UI is really hard to navigate) so hopefully this can make the process easier."

If you've already tested your target customer segment and found that they find this to be "pretty painful", then you can conclude that I'm an outlier. If you have not already done customer discovery, I'd encourage you to check whether this is actually a pain point you can market to. I've found our bank's website to be pretty quick and easy to navigate.
I'm not sure how many people have "no problem" with either abortion or torture. The people who support them after having thought about it generally do so because they see the alternative as worse, similar to people who want to see hard drugs legalized to ensure people don't have to deal with black markets, criminal gangs, and dangerous substitute chemicals.

(disclosure: I'd ban torture, but for both abortion and most drugs I'd legalise them and try via other methods to reduce the amount that actually occured e.g. better sex-ed and provision of contraception, or better addiction treatment and channeling people towards less harmful (though still currently illegal) drugs.
Lots of reasons not to. You'd be in charge of setting up backups (e.g. setting up WAL-E + an S3 bucket and monitoring that - and you'd have to add WAL-E support to your Docker image, which is a PITA), have to perform database upgrades yourself, have to monitor resource usage (CPU, memory, and disk), have to worry about how to manage the Docker volume so that write performance doesn't suffer (Docker defaults to copy-on-write - very bad for databases), you'd have to manage a Docker image and how to make it configurable (how do you enable Postgres extensions if you end up needing one?), you'd have to worry about how the GKE/Kubernetes scheduler will allocate the pod and what other resources on that node might affect it (and how that will affect the resource assumptions in your Postgres config), any Docker updates will require restarting the container and thus downtime (unless you have some kind of replication setup), all kinds of things.

In general I wouldn't want to run a relational database in Docker, especially not as some sort of generic cluster of containers; I'd want to give it its own VM with Postgres configuration settings specific to its resources (e.g. using pgtune).
In any case the kid was unharmed.
The logic here is that studies about the effects of a substance on youth has no merits in a discussion about the legality of adult use. Studies about the effects on adults would be more relevant.
Traditional App Engine is not particularly cost-effective for compute-intensive loads, but it works great for basic web workloads. If you have special needs, Managed VMs have the performance characteristics of the underlying Compute Engine node. We've found that App Engine is not "all or nothing"; it's the backbone of our app but we run services where they make the most sense (usually GCE).
I live in Spain and am very frugal, so I haven't experienced first hand the high cost of life in SF, but if someone has to spend $1000 on the rent, there won't be much left from the salary received.

Also the job in question is "Customer Success", and consists in interacting with customers "through phone, email, and live chat" (from the job description). Those can very well be done remotely.
I heard that doubling your prices until you get just enough customers and you don't need to refuse projects is the way to go. But is this strategy (or the ones in the OP) applicable for new freelancers, who want to get into it?
I hope you realize how absurd you're being. If you asked me to explain what it means for a set to be "Henkin" I'd probably tell you to go read a logic book because it's way too hard for me to explain (and ensure you understand) the intricacies of a completeness proof -- a proof much simpler than Godel's, for that matter.

Similarly, the study of aesthetics is very rich and difficult. It's impossible to distill 2 or 3 bullet points from Hume's paper, much how it's impossible to distill 2 or 3 bullet points from this one: http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/historical-projects/Projects/complete... -- even I know and thoroughly understand both topics.

Sigh. I mentioned baking as a possible hobby that doesn't require a lot of stuff beyond what's typically available in a kitchen. "But cupcakes" doesn't invalidate that. Who needs cupcakes? Anyway, I'm out of this discussion. Sorry for this whole thread. Whatever.

I do go barefoot a lot when it's warm enough. Running, too. So, yeah, if the climate allows, you don't even need shoes. How nice!
A lot of people seem to be missing the fact that they plan to sell the building and then rent it back, turning an already paid CapEx into an OpEx.

Zynga seems to be really good at the CapEx/OpEx game. Back before they went public, they did everything on Amazon, so it was all OpEx. Then they built the ZCloud, which converted OpEx to CapEx, which investors liked.

What a lot of people don't realize is that they have been slowing dismantling ZCloud and going back to AWS (converting previous CapEx to current OpEx).
Unless you buy a liner as part of the ingredient list and toss it when your done. Sure, it's less than optimal if your making a lot of cakes, but if you just make 1 or 2 per year for birthdays then it's really not a big deal.
I'm well aware of that. What I'm getting at is that the same process that produces changes in how visual sense data gets interpreted also produces changes in how all your other sense data gets interpreted. This includes the sense data that introspection and narrative construction generates.
We're using Plaid to connect to accounts so we're not storing any credentials ourselves. For security when we pull the info to give to people in the digest each morning we're not persisting it anywhere.

Interesting point about the CSV (giving us information without bank access); a problem with that though is it defeats the 'push' based idea of giving people information without them having to do any work. Atleast on the consumer side we've found that many people don't keep track of their money because it's too much effort to log in and manually get that information.

Thanks for the feedback!
DuckDuckGo in no way uses Google. We do use other sources, but Google isn't one of them.

Because the standard build does not have the capability to bypass the lock screen and extract data.
Memory safe programs require

1) Runtime overhead for some form of GC (D, Lisp, etc)

2) Rephrasing a program to satisfy a memory constraint checker (Rust)

3) Disciplined memory usage (i.e. Nasa C coding guidelines)

We don't have enough experience with 2 to indicate whether it will create new classes of bugs. We also don't understand the knock-on effect of managing memory differently - will functionally identical programs require more or fewer resources, more or fewer programmers hours, etc.

Rust may very well be the future, but we don't know for sure yet.

One thing we do know: options 1 and 3 have been available for years, but not widely utilized. What lessons can we learn from this fact to apply to Rust?
This model isn't great for a lot of things. Snow blowers and lawn mowers, for instance - they will break down at least once a season once you cross a threshold (single digit) of users.
You are wrong. These are quotes from sources 1,2 and 3.

"Irritated but eager to get underway, she eventually agreed to move." (not "he")

"when the man with the window seat in the same row asked if the couple would switch positions" (i.e. asking the woman to move - admittedly only one seat over)

"before the woman acquiesced and said, ‘I’ll move.’" (not "before they found a spare seat next to a man"). In this one, it doesn't exactly say she was asked to move, but the fact that she eventually "acquiesced" does seem to imply it.

In Sources 4 and 5, it appears that the Hasidic man moved.

In none of the sources does it say anything about who did the asking and why. There's a difference between the Hasid demanding that a woman be moved, and the staff attempting to relocate the woman as an expedient way to satisfy a polite request to find a seat without an adjacent woman.
Docker improves container security and management
Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, the phone simply works like a scope? Apart from being less comfortable what's the difference between aiming through a scope and aiming through a phone's screen? For a game it's good enough IMO; it's not like you have to look through your phone for the whole time. And I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard to port this to an augmented reality device.
Why do you need 2pi for the units to cancel out?
You really don't have to spend hours min-maxing your miles like described in the article. Just spend two minutes creating an account online, and ten seconds inputting your member number when buying tickets or checking in. Then two years later check your balance and you might have a free ticket worth $500+. That's a huge return given the amount of time invested.

It's like credit cards. There are entire websites dedicated to min-maxing the hell out of credit card points, sign-up bonuses, etc. But you don't have to do that. You can just spend an hour getting a good credit card (assuming you can :/) and then reap massive benefits compared to the amount of time invested.
This kind of course (computer architecture) is typical of the cross CS/EE requirements and can usually be taken during any year of an undergraduate degree in CS. Prerequisites are minimal if any.
This is not true. Such tools exist, but are not what Apple used. They just extracted data. It wasn't encrypted so that was all they needed to do.

This story is kind of true, but is missing some detail. The first differential attack on DES broke up to 15 rounds, that is correct [1]. 2 years later, however, the same team broke the full 16 rounds, albeit with a hefty amount of chosen plaintexts [2]. Coppersmith disclosed the DES design choices a year after that, showing that the S-boxes had been changed to increase resistance to differential attacks, in 1994 [3]. Additionally, Matsui's linear cryptanalysis of DES didn't seem to have been taken into account and also broke through the full DES [4].

Another interesting anecdote is the tale of Skipjack, which unlike DES was an entirely NSA-designed block cipher. After it was disclosed in 1998, an impossible differential attack broke exactly 31 out of 32 rounds, and I believe that is still the best known result today [5].

But of course.

Yet I can see the other side of the coin -- that they are right to downrank others for this (or at least: that it is a useful heuristic for judging other websites), even while at the same time they are right to frontload ads on their own results pages. Their best research probably suggests they should lay it out this way, as has been said elsewhere in the discussion.

Nevertheless, I personally downranked Google Search about 6 years ago, when I could see how far it was already from any idealized concept I had of it, as a (reliable, objective) library-style index search program for internet pages, which would just report back things honestly, like a database query.
I ran all of those windows versions as well, but my favorite remains NT4. I stuck with that for a long time, until the lack of drivers forced an upgrade. It was incredibly fast (smooth on a 66 mhz 486), rock-solid (uptimes of weeks with daily use), light-weight (32 MB RAM was doable, 128 MB was multi-tasking heaven). It's nice that MS is trimming down windows lately, but I keep thinking that it's a bit like seeing someone who has let themselves go get back on a diet. If they hadn't put on the weight in the first place, they would have never needed to lose it.

What is the next graphy after photo and video?
I think Empire or Convox will be the right tool for us.

Flynn and Deis etc all seem to be writing their own schedulers and routing layer, where Convox and Empire just reuse AWS components. This to me is a huge plus, since those problems are already solved and rock solid.

But as a developer, I just want to push a docker image some where and scale it up later.
What makes you think such a build has been used before?
We've used a couple banks ourselves and have talked to people using other ones, we've found them pretty hard to navigate. Some people are using consumer bank accounts at the early stage so it might be easier to use.

Appreciate the feedback, we'll keep testing around this.
Yes, what I was implying is - based on the result of the fundraising what point of action should an employee at an early stage start-up take considering the current climate. Or what questions should you ask the founders.
I can't find any statements indicating this required a special build, just normal access to the storage. If you have some citation for this I'd appreciate it.
Plus, it has the Airsoft/Laser tag bug - it relies on people being honest. I can just place the phone under my shirt if I'm moving around and never die. So you can immediately scratch the "massive multiplayer" part off the slogan - if it's going to get popular, people are mostly going to play in small communities.
