(Early 20s, UK Citizen & Resident) Yes, some physical friends have been met though FB but mostly it's been hugely instrumental in developing existing relationships (99% by messaging). No job offers but I have personally provided job opportunities through it. The last 5 social events I've been to (party, festivals) have been arranged through group messaging on FB's Messenger.

Hi guys!

This doesn't work properly. I have truecrypt file volumes created by truecrypt 7.1a that veracrypt is not able to decrypt.
Facebook helps a lot to stay in touch with people you meet while travelling, ex-colleagues, or people you just occasionally meet in general and that you don't have the phone number of.
Well, that was a practical joke for over 5 years with USB 2, and I do not find it so funny when plugging in my phone to the charger half sleep at 3 o'clock in the morning.
I guess that's why HTTP2 is now binary, because text is awesome.

They're both rounding errors, to be honest!
Test it first. It didn't work for me. Maybe because I also use keys not jus password but anyway I had to stick with truecrypt.
A long time ago I created a free website/service to play with scenarios and forecasts for variable-rate mortgages - it was specifically for the Italian and Spanish markets (where those kinds of mortgages are very common). Monetization was only adsense and one affiliation program. I made around $100/month for at least 3 years, with almost 0 maintenance and just some SEO work - until the server broke down, and I was too busy with other projects to set it up again.

Don't know if the same approach would work today with falling ads revenue, but having something that is completely free to use has the advantage that there is no customer support and no stress.

Out of interest, what demographic are you? Unless you are under 13, it is difficult to imagine you aren't in a fairly active FB demographic.

Also, what is "did you meet that special someone you only would have meet through the social elite site of FB" supposed to mean. I'm assuming the "meet someone special" means some kind of romantic relation, but what "social elite" is FB supposed to have?

(To answer the questions, though:

1) Lots of things. It's the primary messaging platform that everyone is on, It's a good way to see photos of people I know, there are lots of very active and interesting technical FB groups I follow.

> did you make any physical friends by being on FB?

Yes, quite a number.

> Did you get any job offers?

Yes. Have had more via LinkedIn, but FB is more consulting-type work.

> Did you get that invite to the party?

Yes (not sure which one, but plenty of events I go to are organised on FB and I was invited via FB and wouldn't have if not for it)

(Not in the US, but from a rich "western" country. Male, > 35 yo.)

I just didn't think FB would still be growing in America at this date. I actually shocked we are still talking about it. I know a handful of people who deactivated, but not the numbers I was expecting.

Why on earth not? Surely we are all past the idea that FB is a fashion thing? And due to the birth rate, plenty of new people will keep joining, and I doubt they are hit the demographic where they need to actively worry about the death rate in high numbers yet.
I just recently upgraded my system to windows 10 and encrypted it again with truecrypt7.1a if anyone is wondering... everything works fine.
Yup, will do that too. Thanks.
Real estate. Landlording can be a sweet, sweet revenue stream, and with the right tenants, almost no work can be involved, other than cashing the checks.
As a solo developer who builds products for a living, I'd caution you to think more about what it is that you actually like to do, rather than what will earn you a quick dollar.

You don't want to be put in a position where you have to support something that requires you to perform tasks that you don't enjoy (eg. a particular niche, writing blog content) just to make sure it brings in that extra $nK a month.

You might also face the anti-scale issue - what if you do end up getting your first 30 users, but it never really grows more than that?

You are now in a position to either believe in your product and push on it without knowing that this is as big as it will get, or, have to face the process of killing off something that 30 people now depend on in their workflow.

If you're interested in more of this stuff, I give a talk on my story of going from full time to solo product dev and have a video of available below. Quality isn't great, but the audio and content is worthwhile.

Isn't the entire point behind patenting something so that you can discuss it without worry of someone stealing it?

Cough up the goods or nobody will take you seriously. Every experienced techie has had at least one person with a "great idea" and that are "100% certain" their idea is the next big thing.
You're right that it doesn't necessarily rescue free will. That's why I said, selective pop-sci wave-collapse (as in some imaginary mechanism for free will that leverages a quantum avenue).

Determinism (in most accounts) precludes free will. Therefore randomness is necessary but not sufficient for free will. Quantum mechanics is the only avenue we have for randomness/non-determinism, so if free will does exist, it's going to have to involve some sort of quantum "magic".

It's certainly possible to imagine consciousness based on quantum mechanics (ala Penrose) that facilitates some level of choice by selectively collapsing wave-forms (not just randomly collapsing them) and is still compatible with a macro-deterministic universe.
The article pretty much applies to any comparable language, really.

That sounds a little bit like a software developer's bubble to me!

Yeah, most software is a bit more complex than underground utilities. But the latter are far from the same, and I'd argue it's actually much more difficult to prod, examine and debug what's going on underneath an active roadway than it is to debug a bit of software, for example.

Yep, we know, the consecrated expression for this point is "they just used clever tricks".

But at some point these clever tricks add up to something akin to imagination or intuition. Do you think humans are not made of "clever tricks" too? Could it be possible that we humans have the magic fairy dust of real intelligence sprinkled in our brains and machines are lesser than us?
You know I'm not whoever you were arguing with, right? I'm just here to point out that you might want to double-check a definition.

Ok so that rules out phones, laptops and other devices that tend to get roughed up over time but I would still consider using it as energy storage for the solar panel on my house for instance.

As you have it isolated from the house in a specially built enclosure or garden shed it's less likely to get damaged and even if it is the damage can be manageable.

Then again in these cases it's more of a matter of how cheap it is vs the amount of energy it can hold and size doesn't matter a much.

I'm convinced that this is also how consciousness works yet I've never seen this published. Consciousness can't spontaneously appear so the only way it's possible is through quantum phenomena.

The issues you point out are completely unrelated to passive income. If I'm in a position where I have to support something just to make sure it brings in the money I require it's not passive. Scale also isn't an issue. If I have 30 users and that makes the money I require it doesn't need to grow more than that.

The point of passive income is that it makes you what you want with little to no work. So for example a SaaS product that doesn't require too much maintenance (a couple hours per week) netting you a few thousand $ per month. Or outside of software a physical product that you source and then sell using drop shipping so that people purchase products from you without you ever getting involved.
Very enjoyable little app, OP! Useful too.
"For example, a “simpleton’s portfolio” consisting of one quarter each U.S. large stocks, U.S. small stocks, foreign stocks, and U.S. high-quality bonds had a higher return, with much lower risk, than large U.S. stocks alone (represented by the S&P 500 index). The S&P 500, in turn, performed better than 75% of professional money managers over the same period." (c) W.J. Bernstein, The Intelligent Asset Allocator, based on a study by T. Rowe Price, from 1973 to 1992.

The gold was used as a replacement, because I'm not from US, and it worked well for Russia, giving average yearly 48,9% compared to 24,4%, 31,5%, 28,1% for stocks, bonds and gold for 1997-2009 period.
I have no problems on 3 drives. Report issue maybe?
The guys at NVIDIA did something very cool recently. They took a simple CNN (convolutional neural net) and in 2-3 days they taught it to drive a car.

Article: How Our Deep Learning Tech Taught a Car to Drive - https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/05/06/self-driving-cars-3...

These neural nets are really smart, and we don't know exactly how they work, we know only in principle. But if we asked the guy who made the self driving car what is the role of the 17th neuron in the 14th layer, he would probably have no idea. Just like human brains evolve through learning, so do neural nets. Yet many people think they are just clever tricks and not truly intelligent.
Of all the great leaps in battery tech that keep on coming, this seems like one of the most promising because they were forced to learn to manufacture on real industrial equipment.

Most of the time these great battery breakthroughs go nowhere because they only manage to demonstrate with a tiny hand-built cell (often as not only presenting the result of the one cell that did finally work out of dozens of attempts), but there's no path to commercialisation.

If they really do ship usable batteries by november this could be huge.
I just skimmed the website, and I am still not sure if it's meant seriously or if it's some kind of joke?
Feels a bit contradictory eg. "dont use framework" vs "make software secure by default". Isn't a security one of the gains of using frameworks, beside other things? You would need to be a security expert to cover all potential security issues when writing something from a scratch.

> I wonder how a human brain can figure out cats of any kind just by seeing one or two.

A human child receives images on the retina at 20fps, say ... for 12 hours a day, for many years. That is a lot of training, a lot of images received by the brain.

What the kid does when we show it something new is to do a kind of fine-tuning of its neural net where previous visual experience is reused in order to quickly learn new types of objects. It's called one shot learning and it can be done in neural nets too.
For as long they have conducted the survey, its has been quite stable Swedish statistics that women in average prioritize social status and work environment over pay, while men prioritize pay over social status and work environment. Statistics from other sources like dating sites has also shown the same priority, where profile from women (that mention work) more often talks about social status and coworkers, while profiles from men that mention work more often talk about earning money.

As such, I don't believe your statement that women mining coal was a priority for women when mining coal was an up and coming industry. Coal mining has always been a low status and dangerous job, and as such its been exclusively a male profession.

A similar situation currently exist with under water welding. It is one of the highest paying jobs there is, but its below average in social status and has a very risky environment. As one of the most lucrative area, you would think there would be a push by gender equality advocates, but no. The focus is only to get more women in jobs which has high social status, rather than to create change in current gender culture.

The whole point of capability based security is that there is no permission system, because permissions are implicit in the capabilities. So this is much simpler than e.g. SysV message queues.
The very existence of PHP is a contradiction, so I wouldn't sweat to much about it.

But speaking of boolean logic, negating "always use a framework" does not yield your interpretation.
What I take from is not to use PHP, which I do as it pays the bills, but why would anyone choose it for a new project baffles me. This article doesn't help it.
Why isnt it a replacement.

NuGet/Packet for dependencies.

Octopus/Web Deploy etc for deployment.

All of which can be used from this tool.
So, does anyone know how this compares to other cities?

Because over here in the UK (especially in London), it feels like there's a never ending stream of roadworks being done at any one point in time. Heck, the roads themselves look like a patchwork quilt made of whatever pieces of asphalt and cement were lying around that week.

So any comparisons? Is New York worse than other cities of a comparable size? In the US or abroad?

My experience is that all/most of the programming books are based on trivial examples and solving dull problems, which is perfectly fine when you know nothing and you are just starting the programming adventure, but when you are getting your second or third language and you want something more serious, then all the 50-150 loc examples are just... not enough. So I'd love to see more books when you are given something in the range of 10k< loc and the examples and tasks being more complicated. Traditional publishing did not allow that, because you could not provide long code base. But today there are no such limits.

Especially GUI guides are ratcher simplistic, you don't want to draw just triangles and squares on the screen. There are no really good resources for Direct3D or OpenGL, WGL, SDL etc. It's like learning architecture by looking at bricks and not at finished buildings. This is also the reason why people recommend working on open-source projects, because this is where the real thing happens. But I would say it's an intimidating experience. There should be something in the middle.

(And it would be nice if there was a mentoring site where you could pick a language, pick your level, and be mached either with a person/team to work on something together or with a mentor who could just guide you twice a month. Say, you pay 100 bucks for registration, the website owner gets $10, and the mentor $90. Even if you get just a couple of "students" it's still a safier bet than much more risky SaaS/e-book business. And how to start it - make a web site about one language that is your stronges and focus on that. If you get others interested in mentoring, check their stack and then expand the offering. If you have 10 deals a month, there will be 100 passive bucks more to your name. Has anyone tried that? And to get the initial traction combine it with some publishing, blog, some language-specific, industry-informed (not necessary programing related, but project-management, team integration, tasks division, feedback, code reviewing) problems that would prove your expertise.

PS: One difficult project you could explore is business process modelling - there are a couple of different notation standards, such as BPMN. The project would be to create one program (like Bizagi) in which you can design processes but in different notations, smoothly (that's the most difficult) convert between them, and then integrate with industry class software such as Appian, IBM BPM, Amodit, SharePoint, Alfresco etc. It's a million dollar project, but f* hard to solve.

You don't have to be a security expert in general, but you should aim to be one in the language you use, or do you intend to blame the framework everytime the shit hits the fan?
I generally agree with the view of keeping your application simple and not using big frameworks but after seeing so many PHP programmers write spaghetti and insecure code, I pretty much recommend frameworks now. You can say the problem is not with writing PHP without any framework but with the programmers, the problem lies with the low barrier for entry into PHP. Frameworks atleast teach you how to make your code modular and make your application secure (atleast sane defaults).

> I can only see a couple of comments of yours that are being downvoted, but because you removed the content I can't tell whether or not that was fair.

It wasn't, for the first comment I saw. That comment was making reasonable points in a reasonable way.

> What I can say is that whilst some people will downvote a comment just because they disagree with it, more people will do so because the commenter conveys a bad attitude, and is contributing to the very hostility of which you're complaining. I can't say if that's the case in this particular instance, but given how quick you're being to claim victimhood status, I think it's possible.

You should probably avoid judgemental comments about another poster, especially when you didn't even read their fucking comments.
I have it as well, but use Office Lens or Google Drive (create a shortcut to a folder on home screen of android device and use it to scan into it).

​72 Hours of Pwnage: A Paranoid N00b Goes to Def Con
For real-world reaching speeds of 250MB/s while having significantly reduced latency comparing to HDD as well as read/write IOPS >60k is what gives you the snappy feel of SSDs. If you are unlucky and have e.g. Sandisk G25 SSDs with write IOPS in 10k range, you'd barely notice any difference to a fast HDD. But if you even get an SSD in a USB stick like Sandisk Extreme 64GB with reasonable IOPS, you can install OS X/Linux/Windows there and it would give you that snappy feel. Bandwidth beyond certain threshold is not what is giving you the snappiness. If you take NVMe that reaches 3000MB/s comparing to SATA3 with 550MB/s, booting time reduces by like 1s - would you really want to pay 2x price when that is the only benefit you'd notice? Or starting your app would take 0.63s instead of 0.67s?

Seriously, invest into NVMe if you are video producer (I can't imagine processing my 4K movies on SATA SSD or HDD, even 24fps playback on SATA SSD can't happen in RAW format as it needs >1MB/s) or you do some heavy I/O server stuff. If you don't do any of the above, invest your $ into capacity instead, i.e. given 512GB NVMe vs 1TB M.2 SATA I'd go with 1TB one.
I think the point is, there isn't one..
