Seconded. Mullvad is my current go-to.

I'm still essentially trusting everything they say about no logging (and trusting that it's not a honeypot) and the like but they seem to be the best I've found so far.
Programmers should have more than a passing understanding of database administration. They should understand regularization / constraints / ACID / SQL / etc. This was core curriculum in my CS undergraduate. More importantly they should understand why they are important and when they are needed. Most of the commenters here are probably programmers who understand these things -- or programmers who have gotten burned by database stew and learned the hard way. It seems like you would to well to take a deep breath, drop the antagonistic view of traditional databases (just another tool), and educate yourself on their use and implementation.
It is not that strange considering Java is frequently mocked for highly abstract / design pattern laden 'AbstractSingletonProxyFactory' code.
They have other product lines (the article mentions their seat belt business), but my guess would be that the airbag liabilities would vastly exceed the income & valuation of those.

Yep. The author of the article seems to ignore the entire line of (relatively inexpensive) Cisco ASR's designed specifically for this. Juniper I'm sure has a line to do something similar. Residential Comcast in the early 2000's could get me from Boston to the Bay Area in ~35ms (granted, I'm sure they were using millions in 7206VXRs and whatnot). Either way I'm sure that 90/10 split-type methodology has been going on for ages. There are plenty of clever ways the CCIE's work in as much of the routing table as possible within their fixed budget.

I remember the days when ARIN would give out AS's to basically anyone. Before all the cable companies merged, I spent my teenage years developing close relationships to my ISP. One of the high level techs told me to throw up BGP on a FreeBSD box and got on the ARIN mailing list with me to get a /30. That's the type of AS that'd fall into the 90 percent category (along with small businesses that who, for whatever reason, have their own AS). Even on my own AS, I'd rarely see latency above 50 ms domestically via BGP or OSPF.
Tel Aviv is probably the worst place in the country to look for Arabs in hi-tech; Most of them are concentrated in the Haifa and Yoqneam region. (And possibly in other areas of the country which are less of a hi-tech hub.) In some companies in that area the Arab engineers probably outnumber the non-Arabs - the Technion churns out quite a few high quality Arab engineers on a yearly basis.
I wouldn't expect a junior to be able to manage the whole stack and get stuff on a server. Write an application probably, but it took me a few years before I could manage everything.
Another vote for Nord. Started using it about 6 months ago and its great. Hundreds of exit nodes in many countries, no latency/bandwidth issues (other than what is to be expected proxying all your traffic).

Also works well on mobile.

You mentioned "bright college student" and "university", which makes it seem like you have a preference for that route.

Most schools have some kind of online job board. One example: https://du.studentemployment.ngwebsolutions.com/JobX_FindAJo...

That said, while there's likely some great budding talent there, there's also a dearth of real world experience. You may find pitfalls there.

In my experience (yes, I've actually experienced this, multiple times), it almost always ends up indexed by google anyway, if it's on the public web.

I guess a robots.txt can go far with regard to google specifically.

And I guess that is essentially what Dropbox 'private links' (without password protection you get with a paid account) are, sure. And they seem to work... okay. But I sure wouldn't rely on anything particularly sensitive remaining private in a dropbox unsecured private link.
What's "enough" depends entirely on what you're doing with it and how much accuracy you require. In this case, 86% was enough to improves their batting average and so was worth using.

If they were trying to detect pedestrians from a self-driving car then they'd need a lot more accuracy and so a lot more training data.
Yep, talking to myself:

"The five recall phases are based on prioritization of risk, determined by the age of the inflators and exposure to high humidity and fluctuating high temperatures that accelerate the degradation of the chemical propellant."

To be perfectly honest, if someone needs to vpn for reasons that could cause real backlash, aka political dissent, the best thing to have is a owned box somewhere and tunnel through it. Add one or more layers, and or a use once discard policy... But the sad fact is thats just about the only way to raise the barrier of entry for a state level (notice I didnt say nation state) actor.

Not necessarily condoning illegal activity, just stating things plainly.

I'm pretty sure tor is under attack heavily right now, (see ioerror accusations), and I have used it very sparingly. Of course only NSA level actors can comprimise it with enough upstream fiber/exit node taps...

Everyone is "random" when you first meet them.

That Indian (or Pakistani, or Croatian, or Thai) person could be just the partner you need. At least look at their work.

And a lot of time they charge less because their cost of living is much lower. You can actually pay them more than others would and still save on a "super" developer.

I think it would be equal time and less energy than going to a University Hackathon for hours and waiting to see who rubs you the right way.
That takes setting up a VPN to another level.. thanks for sharing!

Strongly agree! One of the reasons I'm excited about IPFS is for content addressable code linking. For example, running single js functions through google's closure compiler to normalize the symbols and using a package manager that would recursively replace IPFS links with the code.
Unless they have spent the past couple of years planning and preparing to up their capacity..
There's no need of serializable level of isolation in common case. It depends on particular data model, particular access pattern, particular database implementation (MVCC or blocking, and how exactly transaction isolation levels are implemented - e.g. Oracle's "serializable" is closer to PostgreSQL's "repeatable read").

Anyway, any sufficient modern RDBMS implementation provides pretty good level of performance even with serializable isolation level, thanks to decades of tuning and research in the field.
It's just a question of cost. If it's cheap and lasts for 50 years, great. If it's 1/8 the cost and lasts for 5.5 years that also works. But battery's are still a long way from cheap let alone 1/8th of cheap.

Don't forget computer investment has long operated under the assumption of rapidly declining prices. With that slowing data centers may go to a 10+ year cycle.

Yep, complexity, the false sense of security you get from an inflated judgement of what it gives you, and the 'opportunity cost' of time you spent devising, implementing, and dealing with it instead of some actual secure protection.
Your project and trailer was awesome. Love that you brought back the experience of slamming the phone on some prick. Especially after all the work the user goes through dialing the number. Outrageous that the other party didn't appreciate the call! Haha.

Also, what was once ancient is now innovative. :)

EDIT: Rewatching the trailer, I just noticed a new feature you can add to your marketing material. The Redial button gives the prick a second chance with one press. Still a prick? Slam! Again! Redial-slam should be considered an extra feature given it's used for specific situations & hard with regular rotary.
Introducing the 2016 Product Design Trends Report, from InVision
The article touches on this somewhat, but I think said differently:

In an annuity, you're gambling against your own death.

In a tontine, you're gambling against the deaths of others.

From a purely cultural perspective, I think most Americans would rather gamble against the deaths of others.
Yes, although for terrorism purposes why is this tactially useful given the high cost and complexity? It's not particularly easy to build a 3km/s railgun in your garage, and the power storage ends up being hugely bulky.

Conventional terrorist attacks involving homemade explosives, firearms, mortars, and even rockets have been quite cost-effective enough. I'm more worried about someone combining quadcopters and explosives.

Looking up any symptoms at all on the web is pretty much the worst possible thing a health anxiety sufferer can do.

As it is, nearly any symptom you put in will bring up the possibility of cancer, so it’s all just noise.

Being able to connect disparate symptoms that the patients don’t connect themselves is a good thing.

Snooping on searches isn’t necessarily the greatest way of achieving that given all the privacy implications, but it may be reasonably effective.
That's a very good point, well-stated, thanks!

It's not that it is a stereotype that rubbed me wrong, but the addition of "random" and the contrast with "super developer" as if the indian guy is less worthy of time, hiring etc.

I do think that there is a quantity:quality issue with many foreign developers on these sites, but the work to go through them has to be easier than going through dozens of people by hand.
Deep Mind Playing Montezuma's Revenge with Intrinsic Motivation [video]
Not sure if you're serious, but I'm fairly certain that is NOT what OP meant.
The author states:

"Yet, most routers still support a 100ms+ buffer depth for 100GB/s circuits. Just do the math. You need 1.25 GB DDR4 RAM for each 100GB/s port in a given router."

What is the math? It's not clear at all how he arrived at that calculation. That seems like quite an important detail to omit in your first supporting paragraph. Just saying "just do the math" when its not clear what that is is a bit ridiculous.

If you go in not understanding the culture, there's also some traps you can run into. The Indian devs I've worked with are often hesitant to say "no" or "I don't know". You have to be able to work out the difference between an enthusiastic "yes" and a less enthusiastic one.

Of course, every culture has it's quirks. I'd avoid the specific reference and stereotype and just say that working with devs from a culture you're not familiar with can be challenging.

Technical books, dictionaries and similar structured texts consistently use syntax highlighting. Prose is very different from source code.

Also, it seems to me that the author has bigger problem with the way syntax highlighting is implemented than the concept itself. I would agree there's much to be improved in syntax highlighting, in a way that would actually help programmer and draw attention to problematic constructs. This would require collaboration between editor and different tools, but it would be a good step forward I think.
I would probably see a doctor about getting a psychological evaluation.

People often disregard this very important point. The original free blacks of the north did quite well. Noticeably better than the Irish e.g. Black culture in the north got destroyed when the large migration of former slaves migrated north. They took with them a bad culture. Slaves learn quickly e.g. that putting in an extra effort is never good for you. It doesn't pay of.

Adam Smith remarked hundreds of years ago how slave labour is very inefficient because nobody works efficient or hard when they don't do it out of free will and their own benefit but rather to the benefit of others. Roman agriculture suffered immensely for this in the latter years as slave estates started taking over.

So black in the south had grown up over generations in a culture which did not reward hard work and which actively discouraged education.

It seems rather offensive when people casually just say the poor work ethic and attitudes towards education among many blacks in the US is their communities problem. How about white people's responsibility for creating this culture in the first place?

It is like abusing a person for years and then as soon as you stop the abuse you expect the person to instantly become and upstanding citizen.
Machine Learning is redefining the enterprise in 2016
A common example is making sure that every event in a bookkeeping system balances to zero (e.g. three rows: -125 EUR bank, +100 EUR office materials, +25 EUR tax). To enforce this at the database level you either need to run at SERIALIZABLE, take a table lock, or do something horrible with your database structure (like putting all rows of the event in a JSON blob).

When I have solved this case I have done it in the application by making sure we are only using a small set of carefully audited stored procedures to modify the event table.

MongoDB does not even try to solve this kind of problem, and I am the wrong guy to ask if you want someone to try to make a case for using it anywhere.

The article addresses both your point and the GP's point directly:

Economists have long said that the rational thing to do is to buy an annuity. At retirement age, you could pay an insurance company $100,000 in return for some $5,000-6,000 a year in guaranteed payments until you die. But most people don’t do that. For decades, economists have been trying to figure out why.

James Poterba, an economics professor at MIT who has extensively studied American retirement, says it’s still a mystery why annuities are so unpopular. A number of theories have been advanced — people might like to leave some money for their children, or they might worry about medical expenses late in life. Poterba and his colleagues have also pointed out that Social Security is already like an annuity, promising constant payments for life.

But there’s also some evidence that people just irrationally dislike annuities. As behavioral economist Richard Thaler wrote in the New York Times: “Rather than viewing an annuity as providing insurance in the event that one lives past 85 or 90, most people seem to consider buying an annuity as a gamble, in which one has to live a certain number of years just to break even.”

Here is where tontines come in. If people irrationally fear annuities because they seem like a gamble on one's own life, history suggests that they irrationally loved tontines because they see tontines as a gamble on other people's lives.

I agree that financial literacy in the US is low, and the basic accounting/finance classes should be required at the high school level, but this article is good and draws upon a decent amount of actual economic literature. I recommend reading it to the end.
You and Lazare are right on the money. And the thing with the database is that the code that inserts/updates it has to agree with all the querying code about what the implicit schema should be - but it's implicit and scattered around your code - so on a large team it's very hard for everyone to understand that implicit contract and it's going to be a constant source of production bugs.

Schemas don't change that much compared to code, having a strict schema enforced by the database saves you so much time and pain and downtime in the long run.
Libertarianism as Ten Questions Rather Than Ten Answers
Color management was never a primary consideration of the platform and there's no centralized way of dealing with it. Like most things *nix it can be managed if the stars are all in alignment. I think the wikipedia article puts it best.

"Historically, color management was not an initial design consideration of the X11 display system on which much of Linux graphics support rests, and thus color managed workflows have been somewhat more challenging to implement on Linux than under OS's such as Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X. This situation is now being progressively remedied, however it must be admitted that color management under Linux, while functional, has not yet acquired mature status. Although it is now possible to obtain a very consistent color management workflow under Linux, certain problems still remain" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_color_management

This is unfortunately a systematic problem with medicine that probably arises from the fact that the signal to noise ratio is so low. If you see 100 patients/year who have indigestion but think they have stomach cancer, then the 1 patient that really has cancer is impossible to detect (without also spending unreasonable resources on the other 99).
