Have you looked at JSONResume [0]? I build my resume in JSON and use git and github pages along with the resume-cli [1] to export it out to HTML/PDF formats. My homepage is a single page hosted with github pages that links to these exported resumes and the JSON one too.

Ideally I would like a single CLI command that pushes out my updated resume to all those sites.

Yes, and not only that, American streetcars had often gotten rights to build track from the city in return for responsibility to repair the streets the tracks were on. Which was a fine deal when there was only foot and horse traffic, but put them in an untenable situation when suddenly cars (which cause much more wear and tear on streets then people or horses) became popular.

Or "thou salt not covet" was always bullshit no one really followed and used selectively to shame people who went against the church and to shame the people into tithing, shame the rich to giving up their estates to the church, protect markets/vendors that the church has a stake in, etc.

As a student of history I find it amusing when people pick some golden period when things were better or when we look at written records uncritically. From what I can tell, human nature doesn't really change and follows the types of algorithms evolution has inserted into other animals like following game theory-like tactics.
Well yes, and get treated decently for it.

Here! Another OMSCS Student. I think, many of us associate ourselves with Georgia Tech than Udacity, even though we have some excellent staff who are full time employed by Udacity for our courses.

The technical infrastructure from Udacity is a low key here. But the partnership, enablement and opportunity in providing 1000s of qualified students to pursue masters is a phenomenal achievement.

Forever grateful to Udacity and Sebastian Thrun for this program.
From what I read plant-based diets help with diabetes only if one eliminates all oil. "Less fat" still leaves way too much fat to make a difference.
I was wondering who are you and why are you doing this? Are you doing this profit? Doesn't seem like it. You seem to be a great guy! Keep up the good work. World needs more people like you.
Correct. Borderlands 2 is a coming soon title.

Citi used to have this with their DoubleCash card. It's now missing from their website. Looks like BofA is the only ones doing this now :<
Agreed. In your case, it looks the ratio of info/value is really high. Honestly, this is the first time I have heard such an exploitation of personal health related data from an employer. Was this a large org? (Would understand if a small startup did this..perhaps lack of know-how. Still very alarming though.)
Dang will ban you for telling the Truth about fatties. He is fat.
FiveThirtyEight's take on basic income
I've found that the only way to get network printing to work reliably is to buy a generic postscript printer and use an old linux machine (perhaps a raspberry pi) as a dedicated print server. I used to recommend that people buy enterprise gear, but lately I've had mixed results even with those - the printer in my office needs to be rebooted daily. Whatever you do, stay far away from consumer-grade networked printers. Half the time they won't even implement CUPS/IPP or LPD, they tunnel USB over ethernet and use the same shitty USB drivers that an intern wrote in 1997. Best to avoid printers altogether, really.
Its fairly ironic that the biggest criticism I've seen of continuing education is that academics get really out of touch with the status quo and academia becomes its own weird echo chamber of near nonsense, especially outside the hard sciences. The fact that this guy ended his little essay with a "tear down capitalism and replace it with $failed_communist_lite_ideas" fulfills that prediction.

Everyone I know who went to grad school had a "meh, I dont have anything else to do and being a student beats working" attitude as opposed to some cutthroat "fuck you losers" attitude the writer is suggesting. This is a bizarre essay unless you're to the far left and casually blaming everything on capitalism is the only card in your intellectual deck (which is often the case on the internet I'm afraid).
Be careful with those new tlds though. They do frequent discounts on them and spammers love them cheap domains. I recently had to black-list "*.top" after a Gandi.net discount on it. The day after each discount I receive loads of spam from the discounted tld, blacklisted .top, .eu, .science, .xys, .party so far.

>Real estate prices are not solely a function of supply and demand. If the value of your money goes down, so too will the price of your house.

Sorry, but that statement is pure nonsense. If the value of your money goes down, you will need more if it to purchase any good (since it is less valuable). Therefore the price of your house has increased, since you need a nominally greater amount of money to purchase the house.

And, yes, all asset prices are ultimately determined by supply and demand. Suppose you are the last person on earth. You necessarily own all houses on earth. However, you cannot sell them for any price, so no price exists. Now suppose you own the only house on earth (with its current population). I imagine you might be unwilling to give up the comforts of a home at any price (although people will likely offer huge sums for the house). As you can see, the supply and demand of assets fundamentally determines their values.

why don't you pick up a c720 or whatever for $100 and mess around with it as far as using a chroot. IT actually works pretty well and you can either run debian chroot and i3 in the second vty or just a cli debian that you can ssh to if most of your tools are CLI.
I'm not even sure the work is more fulfilling. My wife is scientist and she mostly just works in isolation teaching herself things. My job is much more collaborative; I get a lot more opportunities to be mentored by peers and learn the state of the art. To me that is incredibly valuable. I'm not so arrogant as to think that I could be just as good at my job if I worked alone.
The government does have a responsibility to alleviate the pain of economic dislocation. The nation might gain as companies fail and jobs are lost, but individuals are hurt. Unfortunately, the best solutions -- unemployment insurance, free education, free healthcare, or basic income -- are politically unpalatable (for the strange ethics of "fairness"), so we end up with awkward compromises that set us up for catastrophic failures.

Well, it's hard to argue that this is non-growth rather than negative-growth masquerading as non-growth. There is a very strong argument that many corps in Japan should've given way to market forces and died out, but they are instead kept on life-support as a form of social welfare.

One has to wonder what the rationale for all of this is -- what are they afraid of? If they are suddenly left to their own devices, are these people going to starve to death? Has no-one ever been faced with the prospect of having to find a new job?

Many nations on Earth are being confronted with the notion that larger and larger sections of their society are now unemployable, and they are all handling it differently. Japan seems to have been confronted with this sooner than anybody else and they are choosing to keep their businesses afloat under the assumption that they will not institute deep and painful budget cuts, specifically slashing the employment workforce. And it looks like Japanese corps are cooperating.
Automated interstate driving is nearly a solved problem already. My car will easily go for hours hands-off on most interstates. The only infrastructure you need is clearly marked lines, which already exist on most of them. There's no way that cities are easier to change as needed, when interstates don't need to change in the first place.
It's very fast even with thousands of data points. We were combining it with github.com/crossfilter/crossfilter to do client side filtering and aggregating on hundreds of thousands of rows of data.
Europe also got bombed to pieces, major cities had to be rebuilt anyway, and Eastern Europe didn't have the wealth that post WWII-America did, so trams were more an essential service than a nice-to-have thing.

European cities also came into being before the car did, so their layout is often more streetcar friendly: Higher density, no room for six lane highways, etc.
"An hotel room is a place where I am supposed to sleep while a decent number of people (the hotel staff + anyone caring to social engineer) has full access to the door key"

I've been in a hotel where my room had 2 large bolts on the inside of the door in addition to the normal lock. This did nothing for my quality of sleep!
1) So you are happy to pay "drastically higher taxes" to fund some social programs, have you actually calculated what percentage of your income would be necessary to achieve that? And even with higher taxes, that would not be possible at all? And since taxes are coercively taken from everyone, not only from people that are apparently fine with that, that people who would otherwise hire or build new business that could employ poor people are running out? 2) Do you really expect outsource either money (taxes) and time (you do nothing) to politicians and get results as an outcome? 3) Do you know that you can be a capitalist without being a heartless capitalist pig? 4) Do you know that your progressive ideas is killing America because that didn't work in any country in no time in history?

I personally imagine that when all that hype came out recently about merging chrome and android, that's what they're trying to do. Security of chrome and usability of android would be perfect, and hopefully also allow underlying OS pushes independent of manufacturer or carrier.
One very important use case is the asof join. i.e. - "line up" two or more time series by time so that they can be compared or analyzed together.

kdb+ does this very efficiently.
> Nobody has credit cards to buy anything online.

Credit cards may or may not be relatively hard to get for most people, but anyone who wants a debit card can simply open a bank account, with an ID and maybe a few hundred pesos.

If you don't want to open a bank account, you can get a Smart Money card: http://smart.com.ph/Money/

If you don't want a Smart Money card, you can use Gcash:

If you don't want Gcash you can use Paypal.

If you don't want Paypal you can pay cash on delivery.

> Nobody surfs the web except at internet cafes.

Surfing the web in internet cafes is about as dated as the term surfing the web; your proverbial "nobody" does it. Internet cafes are for gaming or getting stuff printed or photocopied.

"Everyone" has at least one mobile phone, often a smartphone, and that is how they 'surf the web', or at home, with an overpriced internet connection or pocket WiFi, or at "PisoNet" cabinets.

> Nobody aimlessly browses when they are dishing out money every hour.

Who anywhere aimlessly browses in an internet cafe? And "money" in this case is about 30 US cents (per hour).

> Even those with smart phones only use FB, Instagram, games and a handful of other messaging apps.

Isn't this most people, everywhere?

> I don't even have a proper address.

Why not?

>I don't know how the postal system is able to deliver anything.

Don't most countries use courier services for delivering packages, rather than the standard postal service? So presumably products are delivered using the likes of LBC, Air21, DHL, UPS.

>And speaking of money. Nobody has that either.

And yet "everyone" has the usual brand name products and gadgets and packed shopping malls are everywhere.
Tracks last anywhere from 30 to 40 years at most and then they need to be replaced. 30 years isn't long for any given line or right of way, but it's near end of life for tracks.

In any city with a streetcar system these are constantly being replaced, bit by bit, to keep the system working.
Blockchains kinda stink for broadcast because you can't store tons of actual data on them, just a hash of your data. They're very good for an irrevocable log of small facts.

What does work is if you can find a bunch of servers or networks like IPFS or BT or what have you, publish your censorship-prone data there, and then just publish the hash to the block chain signed by the the author's key. You'd need an index of some sort also.

Then if someone wants to read the censor-prone document, they'd retrieve it from wherever they can find it, check the hash from the blockchain, and then know it was authentic.
I've been postmaster@aol.com for over a decade now.
I have to complain that the WSJ's title is completely backwards. Petroski's article is about the sensible topic that self driving cars aren't ready for the typical real-world chaos. In fact he glossed over Audi's "99% of the trip was autonomous" claim -- that 99% was on freeways which while hard, are well structured.

I can't wait for self driving cars for a jillion reasons but I am dismayed when advocates claim that the infrastructure must change to support them. That's completely backwards: our tools should support us, not the other way around.
Trump, recreational marijuana and a whole lot of other things indicate it may not be a black or white issue.

The fact is that GPS navigation is a mature field (I.e. unlikely to get much better very soon), and is still very failure-prone. I just took an Uber this morning and twice the GPS got confused between the street I was going to and the on-ramp to the highway (the two roads were narrow and unusually close together). Twice, the driver followed the GPS instead of looking with his eyes at the road (the on ramp clearly looked like an on ramp). I run into these sorts of things 2-3 times a month.
If everyone's basic needs are covered, and they are free to pursue artistic or otherwise unnecessary pursuits to fulfill themselves, they will fast begin to compete with each other about who is the most artistic, or free-spirited, or creative. Then it will become a game to be gamed, and the sheen will wear off for a lot of people.
The mainstream medical community's slowness in coming to grips with the role of simple carbs in the diet has been shameful.
>Deflation ( or low inflation ) works for the rich moreso because who do you think holds all that debt?

The...US Government. I do not agree at all 'deflation' works better for the rich. I think you missed the part about being leveraged into assets. That's huge.

>but we're unable to maintain even 2%

Going by CPI? Take a look at the Dow and RE and tell me inflation is less than 2%.
> Intestinal flora is something the medical community is just now beginning to research and understand.

What's interesting is that intestinal flora can take time to adjust in response to dietary changes (wish I could find some good figures on precisely how long, but the whole field of research on the subject is so new). This means that those on a seemingly unhealthy diet can initially do far worse switching over to 'unfamiliar' healthy food as their gut flora are presented with something they have little 'experience' digesting.

In my own experience, cutting out grains and milk from my diet resulted in a good few months of problems before things settled down again which seemed very counter intuitive until I read up on the significant role gut bacteria play in digestion.
I'm glad we agree...

Customers covering operating costs does not constitute market failure. You should re-read that wikipedia article you keep linking. Also continuing to claim that in general "thieves win" is as absurd as claiming they "win" under the current laws and system.

Non-sequitur in a nutshell.
Nah I think there's always a little bit of fear about that 10% of the time. Humans are unpredictable- what if they don't see you until it's too late. What if they want to give you a "scare" and screech to a halt right at your feet- and what if they get the distance wrong and wind up hitting you. Robot cars on the other hand, while they might fail on a rare occasion, will have very predictable behavior.

When you walk up to a doorman, you make eye contact and look for him to open the door. When you walk up to an automatic door, you have been trained to know it will open for you.

Run an experiment with a bad doorman who doesn't open doors, and an automatic door that doesn't open, and you'll have a lot more people running into the automatic door.

This is a weird kind of ownership you've taken over the word "researcher". There are all sorts of people traditionally described as researchers, and many of them are private and for-profit.
On a somewhat related note, I've always been impressed by the number and quality of charting libraries for the web. A while back I was looking for native charting libraries for Android/iOS and was disappointed. Has the ecosystem changed at all or are most people better off with embedded web views?
I think he means that they promote the aspects of wellness that are easily observable, because these are the things that an insurer pays attention to when setting a price.

For instance, an insurer won't take any interest in your diet, because that's hard to measure, but they will take a keen interest in your BMI and cardiovascular fitness.

There are two ways in which the bookstore differed from the current implementation of hacker spaces; ad-hoc local usage (book browsing), and commercial activity (book buying).

The hacker spaces I've been too have all shared a common "mode" which is "bring your stuff and we'll work in the same room." The allure being the social aspects and the interactions with other people interested in your space. But that has two problems, generally "moving" your space from where you work to the hacker space (for small embedded projects that is really hard), and for software projects they aren't necessarily "shared" any better in a social context other than IRC.

Hence the idea of the 'hack wall' which would be some common infrastructure that everyone would be able to see and work with (from a distance on their computers) and a common understanding of the opportunity and constraints. My thesis is that this is what the jigsaw puzzle does as a party, anyone can share in working on it, skilled or unskilled. At a conference I attended there was a similar sort of idea with "craft sticks" (aka popsicle sticks) and hot glue guns, but I think the need to be "artsy" was intimidating some people.

In my imagination the wall would be constructed somewhat like sections in a garden railroad might be, where each square would have some standard requirements, like power on the corners, 3.3v data busses, RS-423 connections, and maybe a serial port. And you could put squares together using something like 80/20 extrusions, then jumper across to the "standard" connectors, and each square would have a page in a local gitlab server which described its makeup. So to talk to an inner square you would have to create interfaces from the outer squares (which might all have a RasPi on them) to get to the inner squares.

With population analytics, it needn't invade your privacy at all. Companies are risk pools. Wellness companies don't need the private data and, worse, requiring it means less useful data (e.g., substances, mental health, etc). There's room here for innovation on privacy and population risk assessments.

Hey Yev or Brian,

First I think it is awesome that you guys come on HN to respond when backblaze makes the news. Thank you.

If you bought a prebuilt storage pod (from somewhere like http://www.backuppods.com/) could you start out at less than capacity and add more as you go? Say you started with one drive -- would it need to go in a specific location? When you add more would there be a significant reconfiguration process? Is it possible to hot-expand? I guess location and config has a lot to do with software involved. Has there been a blog on the software side of managing that much storage? Can it be as simple as a spanning partition to treat all drives as a single drive?

Also, are you tracking the cost of SSD drives? Do you expect cost parity soon? It seems that capacity parity is getting close, but cost parity (especially at that capacity) is farther off. Do you have an estimate of when it might be or is it "far off, check again in 5 years". I'm sure you all found the ssd endurance test at techreport interesting (http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experim...).
