There is a categorical difference between "diminishment" and "dissolvement" [sic]. You keep asserting that the ur-comment's point is the removal of a "self". We're suggesting, instead, that there's value in a lessening of it (a notion which is actually rather well supported, if you take "self" to mean some of the egoic structures that people carry around, but which end up being more of a hindrance to a richer, more connected and fulfilling experience of life, as I do), to which you respond with, "Yeah, but why would you want to be a rock?" or, "You don't even want to exist!" You're missing the point, and your tone reads as disdainful and dismissive.

Even in this very comment: "You may be new to this kind of thinking, but some of us have explored this thought space fairly exhaustively." I studied philosophy of mind in university, which subsumed cognitive science, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and more. I've also explored this question from the spiritual side, having spent time in Buddhist temples in India, Nepal, Thailand, and Tibet, as well as here in the US — and with shamans in the Amazon, where I've taken a profound amount of psychedelics. I'd ask you kindly to refrain from making assertions about what other people know or understand on the basis of a few sentences exchanged on a textual forum. It's rude, and it's often factually wrong.

On that point: no, I'm not 'dang. But I do hang out here rather a bit, and I do want this to be a place where discourse is civil and substantive. 'dang has a sometimes terribly thankless job, and he gets a lot of flak for it — including, as above, from you. Given all of that, I think the community could do a better job of self-policing.

He's free — encouraged, even — to come along and ask me to stop, or tell me I'm out of line, in general, or in specific, and I'll defer. Until then, this is my community too, and as a member in what appears to be good standing, I have a say in the tone of the place, and I'm going to use it.

The amusing part is that Hillary will face the same pressures as Sanders in trying to push even moderate or GOP-appeasing policy through the current congress.

So the only policy that would get passed is the ones which benefit the funders of both the GOP and centrist Democrats - ie, corporate friendly legislation like the TPP and/or perhaps revenue repatriation tax holiday.

Sanders' benefit (from a progressive viewpoint) is that at the very least, he is a guaranteed veto on stuff like that. Meanwhile he would be drumming daily on voting out those who oppose his policies instead of caving to the GOP/Centrists.

I had tons of blue screens on a brand new home built PC. I tried everything, memtest86+ passed, every driver I could get my hands on was up to date, even ran driver verifier a few times to narrow down which driver it was. Turns out once I updated the BIOS, every problem went away.

That's exactly what I'm advocating. Standardization would expose millions of people to policies that can be exploited in time. It's better for all of us not to know.

I know, this is an issue some would disagree with. I do not think it's safe to standardize at all.

Canada is the same as well. The system is setup to discourage private sector care (although a very small amount exists).

Same here. Let me know if you figure this out. I'll do the same. I just shot Stefan an email but I'm sure he's inundated at the moment...
Good point for sure. It's not just EDM - a basic Pop song can be produced at practically zero cost once an independent musician and producer has sunk the costs of DAW and equipment into the operation. A lot of music, in general, is stunningly simple. Hip-hop can be done with one MPC and a mic (okay maybe AutoTune as well haha). Country only really needs an acoustic guitar, vocals, and a quality mic. Yes, there's a reason studio quality recordings sound great, and I'm not going to deny that at all. But...

Owl City is a great example of a talented person producing their own material (then mastered) which fit the quality expectations and was, pretty much, recorded in one guy's bedroom.

Gotye's "Used to Know" was recorded all by himself in a room over a barn in New Zealand.

These are just a couple recent examples where I think the technology and dynamics of music production are really coming together (Trent Reznor is a great historical study). Personally I really enjoy playing with a talented drummer - which I will do tonight and probably broadcast on Periscope - but when I'm at home, making tunes that I'll eventually release, I can get fantastic results from Apple's GarageBand "Drummer" algorithm thingy.

The tools that exist now would've changed my world as a teenager. I think teenagers growing up now - the ones serious about making music - have more tools and opportunities than ever before. I'm a wee bit jealous, no lie.

Edit: To clarify regarding your edit, the personal production can now extend to live performance. Rappers typically just have a DJ behind them (sometimes a live band). There's a lot of wiggle-room for mid-market musicians to simply bring their box of backing tracks with them to perform live, and I think that is becoming more and more acceptable. I used to get really odd looks using a Netbook + Akai APC40 on stage, and now that's pretty tame compared to some of the other gear setups indies can employ. This way, the musician makes more money because there are fewer musicians on stage that need to be paid (my personal approach).
But that means there's lots more competition, right? If, theoretically, anybody with a laptop can do what you do, you have to be that much more talented and work that much harder.

It sounds like any other business. It's like saying freelance web developers are incredibly lucky, because their only business expenses are a laptop and maybe some software. That's true, but it also means that high school students can do what they do for free.

In addition to SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner there is ChronoSync.

SuperDuper is the easiest to use, and I would recommend it to anyone as their first choice.

CCC and ChronoSync both have more advanced features: including bootable network copies, and backing the recovery partitions.

ChronoSync also offers two-way folder sync's, enterprise features, and more.

> Really, you should not expect a service that has 'cheap' in the name to offer any kind of backup.

They never spell this out for you though, usually they imply that their service is just as good as their pricier rivals. As a result, many people get burnt before they get savvy. Some never get savvy, they just get turned off to the industry.

Not sure what the alternative is. I suspect a company that did clearly spell out their pros and cons would risk having stunted growth or go out of business entirely.

Hey guys,

Wanted to share the complete overhaul of the app we've been developing for the last several months.

http://www.cliently.com

After the initial launch targeted towards freelancers, we decided to go broader and add Automated Flows -- basically a relentless sales manager that will reach out to potential customers on your behalf via different channels.

Right now we support twitter and email and you can add timed delays to your flow. We will be adding new channels for follow-up in the coming weeks.

We've also added Instant Twitter Search -- search twitter like you would search google, the results pop-up instantly. It's great for trying different search queries to find more leads.

Let us know what you think guys!
I have been running Windows 10 Pro on my ThinkPad T420s since release last July and not had a single system crash. It goes to sleep when I close the lid and wakes up when I open it. No issues.

While I have other issues with Windows 10 (the shitty "apps", Twitter and Candy Crush auto-installs on my "Pro" version) I am impressed with how solid it has been for me even on an old and officially unsupported machine.
If you are old enough, you should remember times when we need to enter network configuration manually, using network configuration TOOL: netmask, IP address, router IP, DNS servers, domain. Then DHCP SERVICE is invented: DHCP client asks DHCP server for that information and applies it automagically: it just works, for any device, now and in future, without human.

Ops tells me that they are using configuration TOOLs. I tells them that I am DevOps, so I use SERVICEs and SCRIPTs (clients) instead. They work automagically, without need for me to reconfigure servers manually.

Am I from the past?
Linux has never been very good for standard desktop use in the form presented by OS X and Windows. It's still a hobby OS, where your computer itself must become your hobby, rather than whatever it is you want to do on the computer.

Not my comment but I had to read that a couple times too - I think it's more a reference to the latter part, as in, things not done well. A one-person shop might make a lot of excuses and not have the ability to reach quality production to the point of hiding the fact it's just a one-person shop.

Fundamentally I don't disagree; it takes a lot to 'sound pro' and a lot falls short...it's been a multi-year learning process on my end and I'm still nowhere near 'pro' engineer level, though some tracks might fool ears here and there.
Hello everyone,

Recently I, along with my amazing colleagues, won the Google Startup Weekend (St.Cloud) event (it's basically a hackathon). After winning that hackathon I came to the realization that if one of my colleagues hadn't pointed out that this event existed, I would have never known about the event. I began to look at the Apple app store the following day to find an app that provided a comprehensive list of hackathon events with an attention to detail and great organization. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one. What I found was a pile of apps from different universities and non-profit organizations for their own hackathon events. I needed something with all events from various organizations, and so Hackathons was created. I created Hackathons in order to find local hackathon events around me and to also find events around the globe in the event that I may someday travel to participate in these wonderful events.

The Hackathons app currently allows users to search local and global hackathon events, save events to their calendars, find location information, find out whether or not a particular hackathon event is free, and register for events.

Your feedback is highly appreciated.
The other similarity across the industries you mention is that people want to participate in them for 'passion', in a way they wouldn't participate in, say, accounting.

Or rather, performance matters. Caching is one possible approach (rarely the best one, IME).
I agree on the 'customer support backdoor,' with some caveats. I worked for a small IT Services provider, and we a policy of "don't do dangerous stuff that an unknown party asks for unless a known party verifies it." But sometimes someone gets fired, and there are no known parties, especially with cloud services.

I realize there has to be a way to work around 2FA, for situations like loss of device, terminations, etc, but that should have some known policy way of verifying (say, you must send a notarized or local equivalent letter, or appear in person somehow) identity, especially for a cloud service.

(Totally incidental and you perhaps won't see this, but, r1ch, Conflict Crusher was instrumental in 15 year old me learning how to mod TA, which led me to learn how write BOS scripts, which led me to realize that I liked this programming thing, which led me to my current career/way to support my family. Thanks! :) )

That's a big down side of a framework for asynchronous message passing (object-oriented or not). E.g. "Flow based programming".

Message passing OOP doesn't necessarily imply that type of message passing. That is to say, the "send" call doesn't have to return until the target object has processed the message.

You cannot use "suddenly win/inherit large amounts of cash" to estimate what would happen if the poor in general had more money than they do.

The players of the lotto and the expectations for winners are distorted. Also, we hear and remember the news stories about the flaming fall from fortune more than the person who chose the monthly payments or invested the inheritance wisely and live quietly with secure housing, adequate healthy food, and a retirement plan where they previously were behind on rent and wondering where the next meal would come from.

Steve Miller's success came when I was a teen. No matter how hard I worked, I could afford only a little piece of our shared culture as albums were monopoly priced; someone was getting rich. To add, where I lived we could not pick up much rock music on the radio, and only later were very rare concerts (but they were good and inexpensive; Styx for example). I hear echoes of all this in his statements.

> This isn't a problem for banks, why is it a problem for tech companies?

Banks have the option of you physically going into the branch and identifying yourself with relevant legally backed forms of ID. That would not really work for most online companies.

Other methods which involve sending in copies of ID and/or letters signed by appropriate notaries would fail due to human engineering too because your average tech company isn't going to have people sat ready who are capable of accurately verifying this information.

The other problem is PR: due to the lack of another option the average person who is locked out of their account will instantly turn to twitter/facebook/any-where-else-they-can-post and scream as loud as they can that they've been mistreated by company X. Many other average persons will take this at face value without checking the fats and start avoiding company X, or worse bombarding them with communication in support of the inconvenienced user.

Hey,

We provide an alternate solution ([1]Wormhole) that covers this scenario (and others). The main differences with e.g. Weave are:

- Non Docker-specific

- Easier to deploy, in my opinion ofc :-)

- Based on Open Source (You can just deploy SoftEhter's vanilla client as the agent)

- We don't use vxlan, just SSL encapsulation.

- Actually, every client will only generate outbound SSL connections, so chances are you won't need to reconfigure any firewalls or network gear for Wormhole to work.

- By default, chances are you won't overlap with the provided IP addressing (non-public, non-RFC1918 IP space)

- Multiplatform Windows / Linux / Os X

- API available to create and deploy networks and clients

- Our architecture requires traffic to go up to a central server and down to destination, so there's added latency. In my tests I've found this to not penalise performance for most applications as other solutions based on extra layers (I.e. Vxlan) like Weave.

Don't get me wrong, I think Weave is brilliant. We're just an alternative that aims for simplicity. There's some overlapping, but we probably have different markets.
