> Renting typically means you get a much smaller place for less money

Sure, if you are choosing units at random, rentals are smaller (since there are, in most place, lots more small rental apartments, and not as many small places for sale), but people choosing own vs. rent aren't choosing to either rent a random available rental or buy a random property off the sale market, they are looking to meet their housing needs, and comparing rental vs. purchase options meeting those needs.
Postgres is great and was on the table but MySQL was chosen for a variety of reasons. In particular, one of the companies already had a lot of other things running on MySQL that they wanted integrated. They were happy with that setup and MySQL was a perfectly fine choice for the app we were migrating from MongoDB.
There are some pretty dense, cheap ROMs out there, certainly 64Mb and I think 128Mb. Nothing as dense as flash, tho. Of course, you can just disable writing of flash memory and get the same result.
Nations should have mandatory farming practice for half a year or so like they have mandatory military service. I think such practice will be eye opening on how we treat food.
Hexlox: Tiny security for you bike components
What about it? Yes, that environment will obviously be less conducive to good code than otherwise. But bad coders will do (a lot!) worse than good coders.

Don't assume that all good code bases out there were written by teams with reasonable, well-defined and stable requirements, plenty of time and money and perfectly enlightened management. Very few projects are like that. Generally, I think you'll find they were written by good developers who kept their heads cool in the face of a range of challenges.

Absolutely, they will also largely not have had bosses that death marched them or changed requirements three times a day - as I said, management do obviously play a role.
How do you know the government has such shitty tech that even a dashboard of metrics isn't a huge improvement for them?

My bet is Palantir knows more about their customer's needs than you do.
Actually Xeon Phi is almost the same thing except it's not sold as GPU. You can ssh into it or run software rasterizer on it's cores and only thing missing would be host graphics driver.
You're right to say that a microservices architecture and Docker won't solve the problem. That's not an accurate view of what Corgibytes advocates for. Microservices and Docker are tactical tools that can help many teams, but they don't work everywhere.

What does work is assisting that team to slowly clean up the mess that they've built[1] by focusing on incremental improvements.

[1]: And we find that almost all messes were created for very understandable reasons.

0.25% a year FWIW.

0.25% a month would be really really high!
I know of many jobs where you can get that high. Most of them are soul sucking jobs calculating mind numbing numbers for insurance companies.

Google is likely to have interesting jobs where you can get that high which would be big.
Would it alter your verdict of racism if she herself was Black, or Asian, or Hispanic, or Jewish?

Not at all.

I mean, doesn't proof of "racism" at least require showing that the judge treats members of one race better than those of another? Is there any evidence of this in the story? If not, why do we call it "racism" rather than "prejudice", or just "hate"?

Whether she's certifiably "racist" or not is a red herring. The point is that she's obviously biased against defendants based on family origin and language background (and incredibly condescending, to boot). Which are both attributes manifestly incompatible with her job description.
Hey, if you are still interested, I replied to RexM below, he asked similar question first.
but that equation doesnt take into account the enjoyment one gets from eating a fine meal at a restaurant or at home, or the quality of the food (perceived or actual) that one consumes. you may believe calories are calories regardless or you may not. so many more things factor into that equation. long term health (pro and con) for example.
I transfered my account TO wealthfront and that was easy, now I'm thinking it's time to do what I've described and I'm assuming it's not challenging. Does wealthfront do anything to prevent you from leaving easily?
hold on, let me have some time to adjust for all the goal post moves you've done here.

> No you can't. You can only buy a stock based on the set of offers to sell that stock

First you said that you can't buy/sell at the closing price and I showed you that this is wrong. Infact there are a whole lot of people who are obligated to trade at the closing price

Then you said the closing price wasn't special. This as well was shown to be false as many ETF's are marked by the closing prices of certain markets, notably the NYSE.

Then you said you aren't guaranteed to get the closing price. This was an even stranger error as the message before I showed you the MOC order which indicates that you will trade at the closing price.

Finally you tripled down on this mistake by changing your argument that technically there might not be any trading partner at the close.

This is technically true that in theory it might happen, but in practice I'll sit and wait for you to find me a case where this happened.

I mean think about it. You put out an MOC order that indicates you need to get a buy order filled. Unless you are trying to buy some crazy amount of shares, you will get filled. depending on the price the closing price can move up to 10% or 20%. This means that an arbitrager can pick up shares on the cheap or sell them for an artificially high price.

The system just works.

I get that you don't work in finance but you continue to keep making the same false statements over and over again:(
So I'm pretty a similar problem could exist. If to accept a proposal we only need 3 nodes, not a majority, and we manipulate network latency in arbitrarily bad ways, a similar split brain could occur. Basically, you could commit the same transaction twice under different proposal numbers.
Tinder essentially does approval voting (swipe right to approve of a candidate, swipe left to disapprove). That should, in theory, make things easier for third party candidates.
One of the main causes of technical debt and bad code overall is breaking out of the conventions of the code base. Good code reviews can help this, and solid leads of course, but things can still slip through.

Like or hate microservices, one thing they do is maintain a clear, hard boundary on the interfaces. There is no let me just reach into this class here, or call that there. It does work to keep people honest when the pressure is on.

Will it turn bad programmers into good ones? No, but I think the base assumption is that you're not necessarily dealing with bad programmers.
Surprising that the article equates less credit card debt to less usage of credit cards.

Its possible that people became more responsible and started paying off their balances while also using their credit cards?

The article would make any sense if it also mentions the total credit limit and the ratio of revolving debt to credit limits.

I for one, am glad that I'm comfortable with using credit cards, applying for new ones, and pay off statement balance all the way. That way, I'm getting good money back, while the spooked credit card avoiders are paying more for the same stuff :)
One thought is that there's been a recent trend for folks moving back into urban areas.
But Intel management didn't want one, and still doesn't.

Why is this the case? It seems counter-intuitive given the recent Nervana acquisition (presumably to compete with NVIDIA)
So the article talks about intolerant minorities taking over and we have the comments section here taken over by intolerant minorities pushing their agendas.

I feel like this is an elaborate joke.
Evolution of r/the_donald
And don't forget, we now have a top 2 primary, so just because the central valley gets to pick between two R's and the coasts get to pick between two D's there may be miles and miles of practical difference between the two even if the caucus with the same party when they get to Washington or Sacramento.
I care about the victims of police brutality. All of them.

Can you say the same?

It should be obvious to every honest person that the other content of Thunderf00t's channel is irrelevant to the claims being made in his video about the hyperloop.
If you don't like single letter flags, most have options for longer, more descriptive flags that do the same thing. For example, you can either do:

Make -I dir

or

Make --include-dir=dir

Choose whichever one makes most sense.
Thanks for the comment. I have to disagree with burning cat paws being unarguably immoral, unless you're talking about a completely fabricated, cognitive, social definition of morality. If you declare, rather arbitrarily, that anything causing pain intentionally for no good reason is in our discussion referred to as "bad" or "immoral," I will agree that burning cat paws is immoral. But that's just a definition we invented; in reality there's no issue with burning cat paws for fun or cutting your fingers off when they get dirty or shooting rockets at the tailgater behind your car. Yeah there's going to be pain involved, but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with pain at all.
Here in Europe, railway travel is almost completely passé.

When a plane ticket e.g. from Geneva to Barcelona can be bought for $40, trains really can't compete, at least between countries. They are slowly dying out on government subsidies.
revenge for wrongdoing on his part.

Far as I know they outed him as a homosexual. That's not wrongdoing on his part.
40,000, wow. I guess it would be a lot of work to auction those off on ebay one at a time. Maybe you could bundle them up in ~10 DVD bundles for specific topic areas, like metalworking, etc..
Any growth will yield this "amplification". The given numbers represent about 4% continual growth. This is basically the "forced savings" line of thought, but with numbers attached. The trick is that you are realizing the gains on the entire value of the house, even though you only actually own part of it. Of course, this works against you if the prices fall, as you also realize all the losses. Which is something many people found out the hard way when their mortgages went underwater in the 2000's.

EDIT: Here's the numbers with -4% growth instead. That $100k house is now worth $67k. You still paid $50k over 10 years, so you walk away with $17k. That $150k house is now $100.5k. So your down payment went from 20% to 17%.

To compare, if we simply had invested $20k into a -4% stock, buying $250 more a month ($30k / 120 months), we end up with ~$19.6k instead of $17k, so that extra $2.6k hit was the "whole amount" penalty paid.
>shouldn't interviews be about a conversation?

sounds wrong to hire the best conversationalist. I know many people who are all talk and no substance.

>an you imagine interviewing medical doctors the same way we interview in the tech industry

they are already certified by the boards. Computer science degree is not equivalent to medical board certificate.
Generally the candidates that don't pass that first question don't have sufficient experience with JavaScript. Sometimes this is because they have more experience on the backend and for whatever reason said they knew JavaScript on their resume and found themselves in the frontend portion of a fullstack interview. Other times the candidate has a lot of experience with CSS and layouts, but doesn't have much experience with JavaScript beyond jQuery. Out of five candidates, two might fail this... but it comes down to the candidates in the pipeline. Working closely with your recruiters can take that number down to zero. I've found that filters like this become more necessary when there are a lot of positions to fill.
Ahh yes thanks my mistake, they collect (0.25/12)% each month.
love this idea, I concur.
Buy Personal Bad Student Debt UK
I am a student from the UK currently in student debt. I am not sure if I will be able to fully pay back the loan, I know that bad student loan debt is often bought by private firms for a fraction of the value, do you guys think it would be possible for me to setup a debt firm and buy back my own debt from the government. I know that John Oliver did it with student debt in the US.
Nice write up. What HSM vendors do you recommend?
But the fun part is when there is a windows/mac/linux graphics driver talking to it and supplying the latest DirectX and OpenGL APIs.
In other words, you're saying that the guys on Wall Street who would use something like MapD are "such a small part of Wall Street that it practically doesn't exist?"

Peter Thiel: The Online Privacy Debate Won’t End With Gawker
Wow, didn't even notice that. Now that I look at it, it does seem more airy and spacious. The style is also a bit eclectic and unsound. Dropping the curly braces on that else on L698 irks me to no end.
One more Chatbot this week
Incidentally, good cooks are extremely tidy, they clean obsessively as they go - and they are under insane pressure, and don't wait for management to allocate time for cleaning.

They clean continously, not primarily to make the end-of-shift cleaning easier, but because it allows them to execute faster, better and more consistently (which in that environment is a necessary condition for executing at all).
And yes, we start the week with one bot that can help you to remember everything in a simple way through messengers! WDYT?
That is no kind of precise causal explanation.
So? I've said a few times I don't care about the claims.

They could be right, they could be wrong, better engineers than me will tell in the end. So what? Saying something true doesn't create an obligation to listen.

In fact, if you say enough true things loudly enough, they'll cart you off to jail. It's really not a great argument.
There are many different ways to describe this problem, and it's very possible that using a call option as a metaphor is a better fit. Unfortunately, "technical debt" is the term that's currently in fashion, so you at least have to mention it when you're suggesting an alternative approach.

Incidentally, we're big fans of Martin Cronje's article[1] which suggests that "technical debt" is a broken metaphor, and he suggests using "depreciating assets" as an alternative.

[1]: http://www.martincronje.com/technical-debt-is-broken/
I believe it's 'PMI' your referring to. You don't need 20% to avoid that anymore with a lot of programs, it's down to 5% or even 3.5% if your credit is high enough. 720 is the sweet spot right now where you should pretty much never have PMI.

There's also some incentives out there right now where the lender pays the PMI for you.
> It used to be more common to purchase restaurant food, and home-cooked meals were a luxury for the rich a few hundred years ago, but income and sales tax have imposed higher transaction costs, and made restaurant food more expensive.

The point you tried to make with that seems twisted. Home made food was the norm, so when something like MacDonald started, it was actually not junk food, but more like food that only the rich could afford.

In the present environment, even with income and sales tax, restaurant food is cheap - relatively, of course. You can get a lot for $2 USD. The problem is that type of food is bad for you in the long term.
Then do it 2-3 times because their amazing process tends to get it wrong.
The medical profession has AMA that does a pretty good job of protecting their members. Maybe we need a Software association.
So why then hasn't Github taken-down the 'HackedTeam' repo? I'm pretty sure HT did send them copyright infrigment letters aswell. This whole situation looks pretty strange to me.. Btw. https://github.com/hackedteam?tab=repositories
If users wanted ads, they'd be willing to pay to get them.
Effectively enslaving people to prove a point won't help and will probably make people resentful to the point that was trying to be made.
But which one of them? California does non-partisan blanket primaries, so in solidly Democratic areas the general election will have two Democrats and vice versa.
"Normalized" It comes down to there being a lot of "options" for cars/trucks, and each type was a separate set of mappings (2-joins), etc... it could have been simpler and more flat, but it was excessively normalized to be "flexible".

Like I said, it was pretty crushing on the database... there were a lot of other expensive calculations that ran per request... pre-calculating, caching, and a few other things got some longevity, bit it was a tangled mess of a beast for what would have been 3-4 collections for a document database (mongodb, rethinkdb, etc).
Automatic voter registration assumes that everyone wants to register to vote. Not everyone does.
Don't worry, I'll be entirely unafraid to overtly ask people to check out my product when its ready to go. I'm not ready that's all.
cannot agree more on eating out is such a burn or waste.

2 KFC meals = 12 kilos of rice or pasta = 50 meals at least ?
Yeah, but with her agile, small batch approach, if she makes a mistake on any one folding, she minimizes the amount of rework.
There's more than 1 day in a week. Seems they calculated it for a workweek 5000g/4people/5days = 250
The original Hyperloop paper addresses this issue; HSR can't run down the middle of I5 for most of its length. I have no idea what the costs will be, but if you're going to attack Hyperloop for getting this wrong, it'd be a good idea to attack what they actually proposed instead of something different.
I agree with this. Tech debt really is very similar to how selling call options work.

Unfortunately, not a lot of people know how options work, so now you have another problem of explaining how that works.

Seems to be down aswell - 'There's nothing here.'
If I remember correctly, the idea at the time was to catch up to Nvidia/ATI (leapfrog them, really) in the discrete GPU market. Thus by announcing the technology long before it was ready, this would put a damper on their competitor's sales and lead. Kind of like an externalized Osborne effect.

Well the goal of the tool is to watch the entire cluster and notify you if any machine is idling or not doing its part.

Right now the tool is focused on making existing servers performant, but since it is already collecting diagnostic information it can eventually also notify if a machine is sitting idle.

For example, a company I worked at had a Redis slave machine which was quite powerful but we realized 2 years later that it wasn't actually doing anything. Whoops. All the monitoring metrics showed that it was performing well, but nothing actually notified us that by performing well it wasn't doing anything in the first place.

This seems to be a common theme when many machines are run. Some go unnoticed and idle away.
All my interviews in my past few months have been in this format.

1. Talking to recruiter ( 0-1/2 hr)

2. InterviewStreet coding challenge ( 2 hrs)

3. Phone Screen - 1 hr

4. Take home coding exercise - 4 hrs

So you are spending 8 hrs just to get your resume looked at. Then comes onsite interview which is another day ( assuming you are not flying out).

All this is not counting prep time to brush up on bigo/algorithm stuff. I was speaking to a fellow interviewee at google and he apparently spent over 4 months of everyday practice for the interview. So no way you could compete with without serious dedication.
I would disagree. Google has beyond genius PHD's working one those problems. A SE with a bachelor's would most likely be delegated menial tasks, definitely not be working on cutting edge research. I have many friends at Google and, unfortunately, it's scale would not allow one to work on the problems you stated with out significant leverage and movement internally.
Both seem to be down right now.
Wouldn't the tunnels flooding with air slow down the cars? The survivors could decelerate to a stop and await rescue. I'm not convinced that it would be worse than a rail attack without more detail if precautions are designed in.
A friend of mine interviewed with Google up here in Boston. Got flown out 4 times because of blizzards closing the office before they just flew her out to Mountain View all before telling her that they weren't going to give her an offer because none of the teams had space.
Agreed.. I'm actually on osx mac and linux daily.. more osx at work, more windows/linux at home. Most of the time, I just use the gui tbh. my htpc is ubuntu, and that has a wireless keyboard better suited to the job, with media keys.
Do you actually believe that?

I mean, do you actually believe that I think the Hyperloop is extremely important, criticism of it must be quashed at any cost, and this YouTuber will just have to be one of the broken eggs?

I'm serious. Is that... is there a part of your brain that what you just said actually makes sense to?

Is it possible in your universe that I've just expressed my actual feelings? And now we're having a big argument about my actual feelings? Even though at this point I doubt you even know what my actual feelings are?
This is actually pretty rigorous for the social sciences. When I was an academic (I was in the School of Pharmacy) I used to see these "qualitative" studies all the time by our students collaborating with the social scientists in other departments. These studies all consisted of unstructured interviews of a half dozen people with no clear hypothesis.

The first time I was asked to mark a thesis writing up one of these studies I failed it. The other two markers both gave it an A. I was overruled and never invited to mark a similar thesis again. I at least tried to stop this rot :(
No, street food and restaurants were very common historically, (at least) going back to Ancient Greece and Egypt.[1] In those times the poor often did not own kitchens or cooking implements, and spent so much time working that they did not have time to cook.

Yes. (for technical criticism)
> And I think it's disgusting that BLM doesn't care (or at least, doesn't protest) unless the victim meets their racial requirements.

BLM isn't about police killings, its about the neglect of the value of black lives throughout society (especially, but not exclusively, in the lack of accountability for killing blacks.) The killing that crystallized things and triggered the formation of BLM wasn't even a police killing (it was the killing of Trayvon Martin.)

The fact that the problem BLM exists to deal with overlaps with the problem of police violence doesn't make it "disgusting" that they focus on the distinct problem that the organization was created to address, anymore than it would be "disgusting" that a hypothetical organization founded to address the problem of the lack of accountability in police-on-civilian killings didn't address white-on-black killings where the killer isn't a police officer, even though "white-on-black" killings overlaps with police killings.
That doesn't stop other people's code being lazy and such laziness not being reflected in the type.
