Yes you need backups and no RAID is not a backup. That would also cover the falling of the table scenario.

Backups can be easily done via USB, remote encrypted offsites or using a second device for synching and cold standby.

You can always call us during the warranty period - from our experience this rarely happens. Yes we do sell maintenance packages outside the warranty terms. We dispatch technicians and with those maintenance packages you don't need to pay for that.

We use ZFS RAID 5 and while it's a great way to make sure that you can recover from 1/4 drive failures, 2/4 drive losses will be bad.

And yes you're right on the full disk encryption - and this is something we'll be shipping in one of our upcoming releases which happen on a monthly basis.
Same issue here. I actually upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7 about 3 months ago. Then 3 weeks back, an automatic update, and lost both Wifi and Wired connectivity.
- No use updating drivers (they are not available for Win 10).
-Cannot go back to Win 7 from System Update (since that option available only for a month).
-Since Win7 is pre-installed, cannot even download a CSO image file with my product key!

I am still lost about what to do. Thankfully, after a complete restore to first Win10, I have wired connectivity back.

Can Computers Be Racist? The Human-Like Bias of Algorithms
> 1. Vue uses the actual DOM not virtual DOM like react

Facebook really should have named the Virtual DOM something different to avoid this confusion. The "Virtual DOM" is not an alternative to the DOM (which would be impossible), it is just a string diffing algorithm to minimize the number of DOM mutations required.

Quit if your side projects seems like a better future for you.

While it's admirable that you feel for "a major California company", I can assure you that this company has no feelings for you. Just recently we've heard of major layoffs at Yahoo, IBM, Zenefits. Your company will have no regrets about firing you, mostly because a company is a legal fiction, not a person.

I would also disregard the advice of talking to the company. There's a huge discrepancy of power between you and a company so they can make your life miserable (a lawsuit) even if you didn't do anything wrong or do what you think is good for the company.

Also, the larger the company, the more risk averse they are, so forget negotiating some one-off deals with them (so that you can keep working for them at the same time as working on your project). You're probably over-estimating your importance to the company. They became "a major California company" before you ever joined and they'll remain such company after you leave.

Quit and don't look back.

Mergers must yield to drivers already in the roadway. The only obligation those on the roadway have is to not speed up or slow down to prevent the merge.
Your situation sounds quite concerning, I hope you're doing alright and can deal with the authorities as they are. I sincerely hope current western governments don't go that far, but I too can see the day coming in the not too distant future.
That doesn't have to be true. Amazon or one of their competitors could provide a discount by locking into multi year discounts (e.g. reserved pricing).

The cloud providers are in a cut throat business (mitigated somewhat by value added services), so the price will bob along near cost (though they may eak out more profit on some work loads compared to others).
They're totally related.

That said, it doesn't mean that the paranoia you see in these sorts of blogs is entirely warranted - in my experience NK wasn't particularly interested in oppressing random tourists (they want those sweet, sweet dollars). They will take a great deal of offense if you go in and rip down their propaganda posters, though. :)
People think that a more complicated life is better. I like the simplicity of the North Korean life. As I'm Bulgarian, it reminds me about Bulgaria during communism. Choices were simple, life was good, but it wasn't sustainable without the support of the USSR. So, in that regard, I admire NK for managing to cope till now given Cuba pretty much gave in. Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting the regimes, but I love the simple life that's becoming extinct due to corporations taking over our lives!
The thing is, the basics of abstract algebra are easy to grasp, and you don't need to spend a lifetime studying; it takes a couple hours to get started with these simple (but powerful) concepts.
Thanks for the comments. Perhaps I was over-reacting, but I was more frustrated with other aspects of this post that I will spell out now at the risk of sounding like jealousy or argumentum ad hominem

- This set of photos has gone viral and was presented "the latest ILLEGAL photographs smuggled out of the hermit kingdom" in many reputable media outlets. It even made to the first page of HN (disguised as a technical write-up). Yet there is nothing remarkable about it. Sure, tourists are not supposed to take photos of soldiers, of police, of anything not pretty during their train journey to Pyongyang, or in some accounts, badly composed shots of their national monuments. But such photos seem to never be in short supply, a simple search will reveal hundreds of blog posts and image galleries littered with such snaps with nobody expressing slightest fear of reprisal. Whatever accomplishments it may have, had been blown out of proportion.

- The photographer is from Eastern Europe. My feeling from interaction with many Eastern Europeans of various background is that many of them will go out of their way to denounce their Cold War legacy, sometimes to the extent of borderline reactionary to my center-left mind. The multiple mentions of "individualism" in pretty unusual contexts as well as a general holier-than-thou attitude to countries presently aligned with Russia is eerily familiar.

> I was a bit unsure whether it was sarcasm initially as well...

This is a fair comment and I appreciate your thoughts. I actually stopped reading by that line then, but on my second attempt the last panel really stood out:

>> Elegant men, beautiful women, walking in a simulated hurry, travelers without a reason (ours was the only train that day), all to impress us and so that the station doesn't look empty.

Staged or not,there is no evidence either way. But if the observer has already decided that anything nice is only for show, then this will be the only thing he sees.
It's still much too early to say when and how this would work.

Well I was more thinking along the lines of "yeah, I personally saw this done for my product/company." So, second-hand I guess. But first-hand experience of the second-hand account, if that makes sense. At any rate, the point is this: I'm not going to take it on faith, and I won't naturally assume the most sinister thing is occurring.
> 4. The citizens and possibly government are (not totally unreasonably) terrified that the US is going to invade and crush them like ants at any given moment.

Are you joking ? The US would never do that since China wants North Korea to keep acting as a buffer state against America's influence. Plus, the US has never hinted of any operation in the region.

With no experience you will need at least a Masters. Last I checked half of data scientists in the industry held a PhD and the other half held a Masters degree.

There's a NK defector where I live who runs a restaurant, who's family spent some time in a NK prison when he defected (he bribed their way out) and claims there is financial incentive for defectors to come up with the most sensational stories possible. Even the author of that book the movie is based on admitted he fictionalized parts of it a few months ago so the movie, which is merely based on the book is likely a complete fabrication. Not saying horrible things don't happen in totalitarian gulags but I wouldn't trust that movie to be anything except fiction.

The defector here uses Kakao Talk to contact his NK family every day, and he manages to send them money on a regular basis at only a 15% fee through some Chinese Hawala-like network. Most of the military and party officials like to gamble remotely in Chinese/Myanmar casinos so there is widespread unregistered money transfer networks in place across the country.
Not exactly research paper, and not migraine but it was mentioned in a ted(x?) talk linked from HN a week ago or so IIRC. The talk was about keto and cancer but touched into keto against epilepsy as well. I think the Charlie Foundation or something was mentioned as well.

Service instances in a continuous deployment environment are coming and going all day. IF your service discovery and config breaks then everything stops, nothing can be developed or deployed until the broken stuff is fixed.
I think you don't realize it's a lot harder than that.

Easy to grasp for whom? A first grader? Sixth grader? Twelfth grader? College undergrad? Any specialty or only CS? Or grad level required?

You've forgotten how long it took you to get comfortable with abstract algebra, it's a lot more complex to grasp than you think.
The North Koreans are totally obsessed with the Korean War, and seem to think that the entire world is too. They've convinced themselves that the US started the first Korean war because controlling the Korean peninsula is vitally important for some reason that I can't remember (the propaganda drones on a bit too much). It's a bit silly, but it seems to be what they believe. As an American I obviously don't think we have an all-consuming desire to invade and subjugate the Korean peoples or that it's a major goal of our government.

That said, it wasn't that long ago that North Korea was on Bush's hit list ("axis of evil"), we regularly organize large military exercises preparing for a new Korean war, and we've got all sorts of belligerent rhetoric that a paranoid DPRK intelligence officer would definitely take as a threat. Even confirmed war hawks like Bernie Sanders name them as the biggest threat to the US on the world stage (which is ridiculous, IMO).

There's not a fair comparison between the two, aside from both types being evil.

European camps lasted, what, maybe 6 years total? They were used to commit attempted genocide. They were hell on earth but those camps are done.

North Korean camps have been around 40 years? They're used to "re-educate wrongdoers". They are a continuing hell on earth that the world allows to continue (unfortunately, due to realpolitik).

Each is hell, but each is it's own kind of hell.
Is there any chance we'll get a browser with support for discretionary access controls in the render processes? Given that pretty much every OS supports locking down rights processes have, it would be a big win, security-wise, if the OS could catch anything the browser doesn't.
So don't support Windows 7 then. But forcing upgrades which can lead to machines no longer functioning just means that person wipes the HDD and reinstalls Windows 7.

You miss the fact that Windows 8 was such a botch job that most of us didn't start upgrading until Windows 8.1 - and this isn't just end users, but a hell of a lot of IT professionals. This never occurred on OS X.

But the US did "do business" with the Khmer Rouge. The moment the Khmer Rouge fell from power in 1979, the US began fighting for them to keep control of the Cambodian United Nations seat. The US began arming them as well.

This thread is great for watching college educated Americans pontificate with great moral indignation about things they know nothing about (but think they know everything about).
If you don't have every service talk to every other service then it is either a deployment problem or a load balance problem.

If a service only say talks to instances of another service that is local, then every node in a cluster must contain ALL services. If the local service is overloaded but a remote service isn't then the service you are talking to will be slow, regardless of any front end load balancing.

Every service must be able to talk to every other service, because if it cannot then you cannot load balance or deploy without it being an n^2 problem. So the question is how to implement it WITHOUT complicating the services
I cannot imagine a scenario of how this will be used. Any specific needs that Google tries to cover?

I've always wondered why data science is so dominated by CS people. CS concepts are the least important thing for a data scientist to know. Fundamentals in math, statistics, and especially linear algebra are far more important. I would hire a statistician who has learned a few CS concepts over a computer scientist who has learned a few statistics concepts any day. Obviously being an expert in both is ideal, but that's pretty rare to find.

I teach at a well respected university for what is essentially a data science masters program, and most of my students come from CS. They are woefully unprepared, and even worse few of them seem to care at all about learning the mathematics behind anything that is going on.

Personally, I think if you can't read linear algebra at the same proficiency as you read English then you have no business calling yourself a data scientist. Unfortunately, in my experience that would describe most people who label themselves data scientists.

It is fair to say that as they cannot know that upgrading to a new major release of their operating system will never lead to non-functioning systems they should never have attempted a forced major upgrade of Windows.

If they know that there are cases where their compatibility checker won't detect setups that have problems then they shouldn't iPad automatically. Full stop.
This assumes you can find a preferable country that will take you. Most of the world is as anti-immigrant (on average) as the US is. Unless you have a lot of money they can take through taxes, changing citizenship isn't always easy.

Interesingly, there are antidepressant-like drugs used for pain like phantom limb and neuropathy (like demyelinated nerves due to Shingles)... because it can "ignored" to varying degrees. As someone who's been both deeply major depressed, where tiny pains become an all-consuming focus and not depressed where a hand sliced open is not a big deal... Pain definitely interacts with mental well-being, and can lead to a spectrum of suffering between all-consuming focus or compartmentalized item. More research needs to be done on the functional perception of pain, because it could radically reduce pain prescriptions by instead controlling the suffering of non-survival-beneficial pain at its ultimate destination rather than carpetbombing patients with addictive substances.

Canada has another weirdness, which is most mortgages are 5 years (amortized over 25 years). I agree with your argument that housing may not fall precipitously when interest rates rise. I am REALLY worried what will happen to us in 5 years when we have to refinance the home loan. I guess if things get bad, we'll just have to sell the house (assuming that prices didn't fall). The whole thing makes me feel uneasy.
