I don't know why people do that. Having 50 of them open does not increase your brain processing capacity, you probably still work with like 10 at maximum.

Hello, I'm the author of this article, and just wanted to add something here: for anyone who finds the Bullet Journal method overwhelming, there's another system called Strikethru that might appeal more. It's still based on pen and paper, but is designed to be a bit less complex and doesn't use an index at all.

Here's the official Strikethru site: http://striketh.ru/#welcome

And here are a couple of blog posts I've written about my own process that might be useful. I generally use a mixture of ideas from Bullet Journal and Strikethru.

http://blog.bellebethcooper.com/strikethru-notebook.html

https://exist.io/blog/strikethru/

And finally, I wrote another article recently that looked at both these systems, as well as some other less-developed analogue methods that you might find useful: https://foundrmag.com/analog-methods-for-getting-things-done...

Be honest. But not too honest (like showing them this post).

Lay out the (not "a", but "the") roadmap that would define what they think they're worth. Make it clear and transparent.

Use lingo like "next level" and "investment" and "personal development". Be super positive.

If you're small enough, and you think it's worth the investment (in this individual), touch base regularly about the roadmap you laid out and how you think they're progressing. Be ready to come with concrete, factual stuff, too.
First, this is a very scary first step in the assault on privacy. It is an opening for people to argue that a person who fits a certain search profile should be de-anonymized. After all, wouldn't you want to know if you had cancer? In addition, as it is not about law enforcement but public health, there are a lot fewer limitations on what information the government can access.

Second, after seeing the type of queries, I do not think that this is all that helpful. If a person has unexplained weight loss or yellow skin or eyes, they should always go see their doctor right away. My guess is that most of the specificity of this study comes from those two terms (weight loss combined with yellow skin). Just getting out that message will do a lot more to save people's lives than violating their privacy in this manner.
Errr, no, this is the first time you've asked me to avoid ideology, something like "the Left is congenitally unable", granted purple prose, but it is being used to discuss a very mainstream view about each side's view of human nature, which is about as fundamental as you can get in discussing them.

That's a VASTLY greater restriction than what you've previously asked of me; I will in the future strictly avoid all political topics on HN. You want my slice of Lisp history, you'll get that.
One huge reason there's a war going on over this is that aggregate transactional (not even itemized receipt) data is a goldmine of near-real-time consumer behavior analytics. Hedge funds love this data and companies like Yodlee (and couple of startups) are stomping over one another to sell it. A couple of startups was on HN recently
Heh (on the jobs paused bits) ... most modern shared file systems are HA (or nearly HA) except when people build them cheaply. And then you get an effective RAID0.

I was pointing out that if you are doing the analytics at AWS or similar on-demand scenario (a common pattern I see people trying/using and eventually rejecting), you have a serial data motion step to distribute data to your data lake before processing. Then you extract your results, decommission all those servers. Rinse, and repeat.

The point is, that for ephermal compute/storage scenarios, you have a set of poorly architected resources tied together in a way that pretty much guarantees you have a large (dominant) serial step before anything goes in parallel.

What we advocate (and have been doing so for more than a decade), are far more capable building blocks of storage+compute. So if you are going to build a system to process a large amount of data, instead of buying 1000 nodes and managing them, buy 20-50 far more capable nodes at a small fraction of the price, and get the same/better performance.

It also doesn't take 0 seconds. There is a distribution/management overhead (very much non-zero), as well as data motion overhead for results (depending upon the nature of the query). When you subdivide the problems finely enough, the query management overhead actually dominates the computation (which was another aspect of the point I made, but it wasn't explicit on my part).

So we are fine with building hadoop/spark/kdb+ systems ... we just want them built out of units that can move 10-20GB/s between storage and processing. Which lets you hit 50-100s per TB of processed data. Which gives you a fighting chance at dealing with PB scale problems in reasonable time frames, which a number of our users have.
The latter, although sort of both. In some areas the false morels are mostly edible, while in other areas they are mostly poisonous, but it's not really possible to figure out what exactly the distributions are for any given area. So in some areas they're eaten by tradition, while in other areas they're not eaten by tradition, and it's difficult to say whether or not any given region is 'correct'.

The phrase I've heard is that they're considered the world's most delicious mushroom, that occasionally kills you.
Of course, but you can at least rezone and allow people to bulldoze their own buildings and replace them with high density residential if they choose to. If housing prices are high enough, many of them will choose to do that.
Have a look at Elixir and Phoenix. GC is per-process so no global slowdown. Extremely fast response times and uptimes. Many other features that mesh nicely with webserving (some courtesy of Erlang's VM).

And a completely opposite philosophy from Go when it comes to error handling. Erlang/Elixir embraces failure (and immediately logs and restarts the process); Go seems to ignore it (unless you explicitly check, which to me seems... insane. For reasons why failing fast is better than failing silently, read https://blog.codinghorror.com/whats-worse-than-crashing/ .)
"If you don't live around people who are less fortunate than you, how can you understand their plight and their point of view?"

Great observation. I suspect the reason this viewpoint is less prevalent in the Western "OR" compared to the Eastern, "AND", styles of thinking.

The index is really only for things you want to find again later, like important meeting notes. For your every day task lists you can leave those out of the index.

If the process of indexing doesn't appeal, however, you might prefer the Strikethru system I mentioned in my other comment.
When I cant reconcile something, I start by questioning my own assumptions and premise.
It's still pretty common in space stuff. From Wikipedia ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_navigation):

A variation on terrestrial celestial navigation was used to help orient the Apollo spacecraft en route to and from the Moon. To this day, space missions, such as the Mars Exploration Rover use star trackers to determine the attitude of the spacecraft.
Eew. The only reason telephone service provides similar records is because it was necessary for billing by the minute with different rates for different regions. But the Internet doesn't require any of that, so we certainly shouldn't have ISPs logging all of our traffic, let alone turning records over without a warrant.
I am referring to anything that resembles a range query, ie, where you require a bunch of contiguous information queried on a single key. Think "give me all of this person's chat entries from x time to y time", or indeed "give me all this topic's comment entries from x time to y time" (but not both - only one of the above would be efficiently stored - you decide which it would be).

Cassandra, as you know, forces a certain amount of "low level awareness" requirement on the programmer because to tap into its uniqueness, you need to know how you will query stuff, so that Cassandra will ensure that the most common range queries are contiguously stored in rows. All other databases hide the on-disk storage order from you in an abstraction, and you can find atomisation causing inefficiency. Cassandra forces you to think about it, and in return, guarantees contiguous storage order on disk along one of your keys so that along that key, retrieval is lightning fast as it requires only one pass.

Basically, both spinning disks but also SSDs, are in essence, 1d media (ie, a lot in common with tape) in the sense that along one dimension you can read stuff massively fast, but as soon as you need to seek (ie start using dimension 2), even on an SSD, your performance dramatically declines. Cassandra forces you to think about your queries so that they will be "aligned" along the most efficient direction on disk.

Now agreed that if your queries cannot be aligned along said direction, then Cassandra drops to being no better than all the others, and penalises you with some complexity. That includes some examples of aggregrates, resampling etc (though I would argue that the order of magnitude contiguous read still helps these). Some of this can be mitigated with denormalisation ie: storing stuff more than once, in transposed or sub-sampled orders, something that relational DB purists will hate, with some justification (potential for inconsistency).

FWIW Riak TS sounds promising with automatic "blob" style storage etc and resampling capabilities which might take Cassandra on quite explicity and in a higher level, more convenient way. I am about to evaluate it because I agree with you that the resampling capability in particular could be better supported in Cassandra, though ultimately, both databases will still be limited by the underlying D1 v D2 "contiguous v seek" capabilities of the storage so I'm not expecting miracles from Riak.

By the way, I'm not even touching on Cassandra's scale-out ease. More perf needed? Literally just add boxes though it would be unfair not to comment on the cost of this, which is Cassandra's node-level consistency tradeoffs for very recently added data, and which is, if I recall correctly, why Facebook went to Hbase. You can force consistency at the query level, but performance can suffer.
Pretty cool. I've been wanting something like this for a bit sine I've been wanting to make an app and this coming up so I can keep in touch with the new technologies being announced . Thanks!

BASE jumping is complicated by the fact that it's something people do with some frequency. That changes the safety requirements a lot: a risk of death of one in a thousand is way too high for a hobby, but it's OK for an "escape from a burning skyscraper" rescue system. It's also complicated by the fact that it's usually illegal, meaning that you want to make a clean landing so you can run away. Getting your parachute tangled on a lamp post would be a failure for a BASE jumper, but a win for a rescue system.
Booooom
I see overlap between these approaches, but not sure I'd go so far as considering one or another "better" for all use cases. Tails specifically targets "less sophisticated" users, and is pretty self-explanatory. And true to its name (and unlike Qubes and Whonix), Tails goes to pains to be "amnesiac" by design, although you can of course subvert that by enabling persistence. It's hard to hold a candle to Tails when using computers at local libraries or internet cafes, or when you really need to maintain a minimimal data footprint when traveling internationally.
ABBA reunite for performance
It seems to me that Uber and Lyft have not bent much. From my (maybe ignorant) perspective it looks like their entire practice is to completely ignore all the laws about taxi regulations until a city threatens to kick them out, by which point they have enough leverage to change the laws in their favor.

Only this time they played chicken and lost the battle.
Indeed its scary. First I was fine with a small box letting me know I can upgrade to Windows 10 on my computer but I can't believe how much more intrusive it became.

This is the thing I really don't get about UBI. It really, really doesn't remove means testing. Your tax burden is still means based, and that determines whether your ubi is net positive or net negative. So again, your net benefit decreases with increased outside income, because you're paying more in taxes.
Expense Tracker App, Monthly Budget Planner
I've had U/L drivers in Austin who had trouble with English or were clearly not from Austin. One time, I used Uber Pool or Lyft Line and the drive asked me to call the next passenger because he couldn't communicate with them. I also had to direct him to where the pickup location was.

The rest of your points are true. Austin has done a good job of trying resist growth by not investing in infrastructure or transit. Then people come here anyway and getting around is a mess. Ridesharing is essential in Austin. The new ridesharing apps that have cropped up have not filled the void.
Formal policies are meaningless. Management is an unregulated group. Inexperienced people will learn their lesson when they go through all those skills and expectations and nothing happens. The job market is the only real test of who is valuable and who is full of it.

I thought you can improve reaction times, performance on sats, other iq tests using adrenaline or other stimulants. I have never taken them, but so I read in another hacker news discussion on drugs recently.

Seems to me, you can control intelligence within a day. Get better rest, take some coffee be smarter. Be tired, drink some beer, get dumber.

read all of hacker news, get smarter. Follow links from hacker news to youtube, Reddit, wikipedia, github, etc for more goodness.

Watch lifetime, the shopping network, 5 day cricket match, get dumber (or atleast no smarter during that time).

You give me an iq test, I will show you improvements on it over time in myself and any trainee. You give me someone too dumb. I will give them a computer peripheral brain / hardware to help them.

You can write a program to get good at iq tests, go, image classification. I don't see why I can't train people to get smarter. I do it with my kids all the time.

Somewhat surprisingly, recently Aphyr came close to recommending MongoDB. From https://aphyr.com/posts/329-jepsen-rethinkdb-2-1-5 :

> I’ve hesitated to recommend RethinkDB in the past because prior to 2.1, an operator had to intervene to handle network or node failures. However, 2.1’s automatic failover converges reasonably quickly, and its claimed safety invariants appear to hold under partitions. I’m comfortable recommending it for users seeking a schema-less document store where inter-document consistency isn’t required. Users might also consider MongoDB, which recently introduced options for stronger read consistency similar to Rethink–the two also offer similar availability properties and data models.

The tek you link starts from grain spawn. You don't need sterile conditions at all to propagate loads of mushroom species if you're already starting with a robust dikaryotic culture, especially those of wood-decay (lignicolous) species. That's one principle of "spawn". And there are some dirtier methods that can work, e.g. just dumping spore water onto suitable unsterilized outdoor mass substrates.

But I've seen home cultivators who manage to do things like culture single spore isolates, breed and select dikaryons, clone wild specimens, and fruit very fussy species, all indoors with basic and improvised equipment. That deserves respect.

>banks could have let users create read-only credentials

I am Australian and at least one bank here does this. We used it for a book keeper in a former company. It was helpful for the book keeper to have the ability to access our financial data to do their job without having to hassle us for data exports or whatever. At the same time the don't want to be in possession of a big collection of bank log in details that could be used to steal money.

It let them log in, export the data they needed and that was all.

I worked for one of the big 3 commodities trading houses. My favorite was when Flexport, constantly talking about all their VC money, wanted to keep interviewing me and hit me with the "are you taking a trip to SF soon?" For all the money they (don't) make, how do they plan on recruiting talent in this industry when they offer waaay below market rates (think $45k for analyst/associate level roles) and then think that talent is dumb enough to fall for the, "but you get 0.01% equity!"

Yeah but we also get a cut of our trading books PNL thank you very much. Sorry for this post but I wasn't sure whether to laugh at the amateur hour or feel insulted. Anyways, I'm going to take PG's advice and flag flagrant PR when I see it, and also would like to ask where the discussion of how the industry got to be so fragmented is and why, maybe that could be revealing. It would also reveal complexities that, surprise, may be hard for Flexport to overcome.

If this is an area for experts to talk, can we talk about how Flexport plans to deal with these things? Maybe that would help with the dearth of responses they get whenever they post something on here.
I remember when Meteor was the JavaScript flavour-of-the-month and everyone was saying it will kill Rails. I wanted to believe so I looked into Meteor, then I saw its dependence on MongoDB... Nope!
Seeing "Sharia law" referred to as a definite entity is a little strange. It's like someone saying "under common law...". It's cromulent, but only on general principals not many specific statutes. There are several countries that follow Sharia, just like many countries follow civil law or common law.

Relevant here because there are countries that follow Sharia that don't enforce such a curfew.

Java absolutely does concurrency better than go. The only place the conversation is even close is the Golang scheduler.

But as far as abstractions, collections, libraries, profiling, error handling, etc the Golang concurrency options are worse than Java's.

I've come to the opinion that concurrency is a weakness of go, not a strength.
