Onedrive also has a ton of other issues like not allowing various characters in filenames: # % * : < > ? / \ | "

As well as a maximum file size of 10GB and maximum total path length of 256 characters.

I was using onedrive for a while simply because it used to be by far the cheapest with 5x10TB for 60 Euro/year with the family pack which is now being reduced to 5x1TB for the same price.

But at roughly the same price as the competition and the windows integration seemingly not being very good either I can't see any reason to use onedrive apart from just getting it with Office365.

> I think the evidence from the world around us is that most people in the US do see sufficient marginal utility in things beyond what it takes $15K-$20K -- or even $30K-$40K

Do we actually have evidence for this? If you're comparing working a skilled vs unskilled labor I think there's a lot more difference than just pay there that must be considered. In a lot of ways the skilled job is lower effort, even if the up front effort requirement was higher, the daily effort requirement is often lower.

You also have to consider than even a relatively low effort job 8 hours a day is a massive effort difference from zero, which is the alternative you're actually comparing to. Basically, if you need to exert several hours a day worth of effort to get by, you better optimize the value you get back from them. But if you don't need to exert any at all to get by, that's a very different situation.

But maybe I'm just an uncommonly lazy turd. It's possible. I just don't have evidence to say it for certain.

There is quite a bit of anger and little fact in this comment. GiveDirectly has been running UBI programs in East Africa for years now. They have an all-star cast of economists examining their performance. Their pilot programs were very successful, which is why they are scaling out further.

East Africa, and Kenya in particular, was carefully chosen for two reasons. First, Kenya has a mobile phone network that makes it easy to transfer funds electronically to individuals and then for those individuals to get cash from the funds at local stores. I wish we had this in the West, but we don't because of banking regulations. Second, poorer households in certain communities tend to use natural roofing materials rather than aluminum, which makes it easy to target funding by satellite.

The UBI is a political football in the West. The Mincome experiment was cancelled because of a change in government.
The potential utility benefits from a UBI are so great that it would be a shame to think that we have to wait for it to be politically palatable in the West before we can get any data on its effectiveness. Also, as far as poverty relief is concerned, money really does help.
App Engine is brilliant and strangely under-appreciated at HN, I think. (A cynical person might thank that it's AWS "devops" people protecting their jobs, but I guess it's more likely that the cause is groupthink.)

Last summer I switched jobs from a company where we developed loads of cloud thingies ourselves, because there really weren't any good options around ten years ago when we started a product line that needed a high quality global service (involving processing, networking and storage). We had a lot of fun basically building our own little (if 5000+ machines qualifies as little) AWS/Google-style Cloud. I heard about Amazon Dynamo in 2007 and then we basically re-implemented it ourselves. We added lots of neat features like datacenter-aware global replication, etc.

When I joined the new company last June, it was basically just me. A few months later we hired a great python dev. I'm so happy to find that the level of the openly available products/services had caught up quite a bit by then, enabling us not to spend so much time on just making sure things were available all of the time, and ~infinitely scalable.

I spent a lot of time evaluating AWS vs GC, but my inevitable conclusion was that.. in a small company where you don't want to invest in a 24/7/365 devops team you should go for the Google App Engine.

I would really like it if Google found some pragmatic way to make App Engine work inside China though, at least for companies that have chinese ICP permits.

(Why hasn't AWS launched a PaaS? Lambda is so neutered that it doesn't really count.)
The Rise of the Costanza Defense
No no no! The Mythbusters actually did real science! And most (though not all) of the time they did it quite well.
"But I would argue that those things would have happened over time anyway. "

Why? I spent around a decade trying to convince American and foreign parties that their systems were being hit from hardware up to software. I tried to tell them about TEMPEST issues. I pointed out that the existing software was so insecure it could be hit without visible evidence at all. Past commercial & ITSEC best practices, nobody believed it or was willing to do anything. They were also gradually moving more private data into the hands of centralized parties in spying jurisdictions using HW/SW from spying jurisdictions.

So, why do you think it was inevitable when companies and consumers have resisted real security more every year for decades with only band-aids accepted? All evidence is to the contrary. That Snowden revealed how easily people are hit with subsequent awareness is one of the positives I count.

" But that'a assuming he had the time and means to carefully sift through it all"

He said he read every document. A spot judgement would've told him which were foreign or domestic. He worked with the stuff daily. In interviews, he recites it by heart without thought. He knew, he spent the time, and said so repeatedly. So, why do two of you ask why I expect him to do what he already said he did unless you just never saw his interviews?

It's as simple as having three folders: Good Leak; Who Knows; Definitely Don't Leak. Leak first for sure with careful thought on second and nothing in third. No evidence he even tried something like that. Why is that? Let's get to that.

" I believe his argument is that he turned the data over to credible journalists"

That was one. The other was that he wasn't comfortable holding onto it in order to do that. He didn't want to take the risk to himself. As in, he was a coward and risked burning all his fellow operators in that data dump to foreign intelligence agents just to save his own ass. Many options available to him. He did the safest one for him that did all the resulting damage. That simple.

Nothing heroic. Nothing abstract. He had a bag of stuff that could save America, stuff that could damage innocent Americans, and gave it all away to save his own ass. By his own admission. When we know he could've at least tried damage reduction as media did in Wikileaks time. Not even the smallest effort before he dumped it and went on the run. He surely had the time to make that effort, too, given he already read it. No question.
>aimed at helping defense attorneys question the credibility of police officers in court.

Note the purpose of this. To help defense attorneys find kinks in the armor in order to serve their client. Like "He's a great guy but sasses his mother" sort of stuff. If a lawyer can use it, he will.

Archivist Won’t Call “Torture Report” a Permanent Record
OneDrive and OneDrive for Business used different client, the "Current" OneDrive for Business is the "groove" client, it basically a simply file scanner and sync to a Sharepoint Document Libary, it is terrible (This is the same Client that is Integrated into Office 2016/2013 as well... awful)

the OneDrive "Consumer" client was/is based on the orginal Live Mesh product that MS bought

Last year MS announced they were merging the Code Base and Having OneDrive for business operate on the better OneDrive for Business Client, this is the Code name "Next Generation" Client for OneDrive for Business.

Perhaps people from neighbor countries will emigrate, seeking UBI?
I don't really see the problem. It's simple supply and demand. Once the gigafactory is operation and demand goes up, supply will also go up in time.

I'm just worried costs will rise so much, the 35k for the Tesla model 3 will rise as well.
Chameleon: Why Computer Scientists Need a Cloud of Their Own
That methodology is awful. And kind of embarrassing.
This article is much more interesting than its fairly predictable headline implies. While the secrecy of Palantir has served as clickbait for many years, there's actually real news in this.

And the news is about the difficulties of scaling a services-heavy, on-prem software company that basically rents out forward-deployed engineers at 10s of millions of dollars per year. Especially when the software is an open-source stack, and the engineers are increasingly junior as the companies grows. That said, it's still great at sales. Big numbers there...

Great experiment. Very excited to see where this goes.
That's also fortunate, because if some country has odd laws (and many do), at least their effects don't spread too much. Politicians and lawyers try their best to combat this (with laws as their weapon) through treaties.

It's really two-sided coin. On the other hand, average person don't have to to learn about technical stuff. On the other, there is also weird stuff like illegal numbers, battles on encryption, censorship, restrictions on reverse engineering and learning, all the copyright/DRM weirdness, and, on more common level, also a lot of uncertainity about if something's legal or not[1] (because, duh, engineering and lawmaking are completely different worlds and they mismatch heavily).

[1] You encounter a computer system. You just can't tell if it's legal to access it or not. And a smart lawyers can make it look both ways - it's not tech (where things are straightforward but harsh), just humans persuading other humans.
So that gif logo in the middle of the homepage has a background of a recent and random GIF created. Looks like someone made one with the brazzers logo as a sticker.

This sounds like the response of another industry, Wall Street, when it is called out for its corruption and incompetence. Anger and hyperbole aren't convincing, and in this case not intimindating (the real point of anger). They also undermine everything else you say.
> favored UBI for the purpose of increasing the cost of labor generally

But is this still an effect which needs to be considered? I can only see it increasing the cost of labor if people are only willing to work for the luxuries they desire and no longer for the basic living expenses.

By what other means would it encourage automation at all? Or is that not an intention or benefit at all?
A fresh benchmark of major Scheme implementations
Exactly. I think it was a good tradeoff even if the system's workings could use some improvements. Bad things happen and people escape punishment for them all the time. We built the law to protect innocent from this in the first place. Better that we lean toward reducing rather than increasing wrongful convictions. Especially for anything with a death penalty.

>> "Because working a day job takes approximately 100% of the work capacity (not to mention overall time) most people have available?"

I'm not saying that schedule would work for everyone but I seriously doubt someone has more capacity and is less likely to burn out by voluntarily deciding to be homeless. That's going to introduce a lot of complexity into your life that will end up being very time consuming. If you don't have the physical capacity to work late at night and sleep less then move somewhere with a lower cost of living and do some freelance work part time while you work on your business. The problem here seems to be that the OP finds it necessary to be in SF. Considering great businesses are created all over the world it seems like he's buying into a myth.
Apparently they're not doing well. Good riddance. Palantir is creepy as hell. For all the snark about how startups and places like Apple are run like cults, like in The Circle, Palantir is the one outfit I know of where the stereotype is really true. And in the post-Snowden world where we know for sure just how all-devouring the US intelligence's community's desires are regarding our privacy, the last thing we need is Silicon Vally outfits helping them out. Assuming Karp can't right the ship again, I will not be sorry to see them go.
When people in Haiti receive bags of USAID Rice (grown elsewhere) for free, there no longer is a need for Haitian Grown Rice and it hurts local farmers. I'm not sure this translates to direct injections of cash however. I've spent time in East Africa and everyone always asks, what does Africa 'need.' I typically say: money. There are lots of great ideas and lots of enterprising people at all social levels of the region, but the one thing between everyone and further development is personal income. There are roads being built by China, Water is the next big infrastructure requirement, but as for the average person in East Africa, an injection of steady cash is world changing. The only way the plan becomes toxic is if the guaranteed income ever goes away, which is an admittedly massive qualifier, but if a plan can be devised to incorporate money management resources and nationwide healthy spending mindsets, and the plan can be supported indefinitely, it has the potential to radically change the day to day experience of many people in the region.

Got to be careful with urban farming in those areas - lots of lead ended up in the ground during the 20th century.

That said, I'm in on the concept. For a few months a year (at most), I just need a small, private, quiet room with net, electric, and heat. Other amenities can be shared.

With a good plan and some solid leadership, I'd put money into it. But, there'd have to be some sort of contractual way to slow gentrification, if it took off.

No, because money is not wealth. Owning money is equivalent to being considered to be owed something by society at large. Each group is roughly equally capable of trading that debt for the real goods and services they wish to receive in order to consider society's obligation satisfied. They're going to get different things, of course, but that's a side issue.

No. That changes whether the turbine is pitching up and down on top of the post, but doesn't change the fact that the turbine shaft is pulled out (or pushed into) the turbine with different force at the crossover point. That will create vibration even more in the long-post model you describe.

OK, well in my opinion if your complaint was that the original poster was misinterpreting or misrepresenting Chomsky, I think it would have been more helpful to say that, and maybe to reiterate the central point that you (through the Chomsky quote) were trying to convey.

To me, the "oh boy, a Chomsky quote" telegraphed the writer's bias against Chomsky, and the follow-on sentence showed what the writer read in your quote. Bias or dislike for a writer is not ad-hominem: it's bias and dislike. And the interpretation of the sentence was fair: a central theme of Chomsky is that the media acts to maintain the status quo, through selective reporting. And a fair criticism of Chomsky is that observation shows a fair bit of reporting on many sides of many issues.

That's quite a bit different then the comment you pulled from me (posted minutes after this one, and a pretty good indicator that I'm probably too cranky to be using the Internet this evening), since the throw-like-a-girl quote makes no sense outside of its context: you have to manufacture context for it to make sense. The Chomsky snippet you object to makes perfect sense to anyone who's read Chomsky, and even if not, the poster can hardly be accused of trying to sneak something past us when the full quote is right above it.

I like Chomsky: I think he's smart and observant and courageous. But that interpretation was what I got out of the quote as well, even though I'll bet we're pretty aligned on many issues. So if that wasn't what you meant I think you would have been better served with a response that actually said the point you were trying to make. Saying "ad hominem!" just because somebody doesn't like Chomsky doesn't serve you or your argument.
