I disagree that Nexus -> Pixel is a rebrand or rename. It's an entirely different type of device. Nexus was a low-cost developer-focused device. Pixel is a high-cost consumer-focused device.

And the big thing with Picasa is the desktop app, which many users are upset to be losing.
I own an X-E2S and I think that model is even over priced. However, Fuji is becoming the Apple of cameras for consumers, and frankly their audience is happy to pay a bit more for a camera that fits the aesthetic they want while still being high quality and reputable.

If I was a pro, I'd be shooting Canon or Nikon, I don't think the Fujifilm line is worth switching to given that the slight benefits of a mirrorless don't make up for the drawbacks for pros, but I know many pros are very successful with them, so what do I know.

That being said, I love my Fujifilm and take it everywhere. It's a leica without leica cost, and that's exactly what I wanted.
It might have been useful to see a comparison of active-portfolio versus buy and hold (not the chart's stated purpose). Also, to someone who doesn't invest or who doesn't think about compound interest issues, a 4% annual return builds fairly quickly, so the chart's implicit conclusion may seem more bleak than it really is.

Don't. It increases your development costs significantly and ensures that you'll never get paid enough to recoup them.

The Guardian one is slightly better. I don't think there is real evidence, and Assange isn't so stupid as to publicly say he supports Trump (even if he does, for whatever reason).

But if there is no agenda, it does make one wonder why the Wikileaks of late have focused on Clinton in the run up to the election
It's a great source book, despite (because?) they had to redo almost all the work from memory. The foreword is a nice bonus that adds nicely to the theme.

The GURPS ruleset is interesting - but I much prefer variants on White Wolf's Storyteller system. But the sourcebooks were great. Next to GURPS Cyberpunk, there's the wildly dark and entertaining "Cthulupunk" that merges one part of a mix of Gibson, Sterling and Vinge with one part Lovecraft. It can be challenging to keep players alive (or at least animate) through a session, though.
The problem is you are trying to run a production environment with a development tool. Manually doing "docker run" is not how you deploy containers. Kubernetes is designed to run containers and addresses the most common issues.

> Making containers work together, for example we use a logging agent, we decided to make that its own container. Then actually getting a way to share a log directory with the agent, was very painful and unclear. (Honestly the single most frustrating thing i recall was asking for advice in irc and more or less being told i am doing it wrong)

kubernetes handles shared directories easily with all containers in a pod. If you need to share across pods you can use persistentVolumeRequests

> Containers would randomly crash under load exiting with error 137 out of memory. Apparently a few of our services would randomly leak memory, but only when running inside a docker container vs ubuntu 14.04. (I never figured this out)

Kubernetes provides replication controllers that will always re-launch or provision the number of desired pods for a service. It also provides health checks just like an aws elb to determine if a pod is healthy. You can also set resource limits (cpu and memory) per pod.

> Random hanging issues, suddenly docker exec is hanging. Being told to revert to an older version, or install a newer version is tiring and makes my environment very inconsistent.

Docker exec should not really be used on a running service in production, all of your provisioning should happen in the dockerfile to build the image

> Trying to debug why our app in the container isn't working is not fun at all.

If your application is 10-factor, you can easily tail the logs of any container at anytime
What on earth are you doing?

You quoted only part of the sentence!!! Of course, the entire context would have ruined your artificially gained point.
Indeed, Piros and vörös are completely distinct, and nobody who speaks Hungarian would have any doubt what colors they indicate; and it's generally obvious when looking at a reddish color whether you're talking about piros (a brighter red, as in Red Riding Hood) or vörös (a darker red, as in Red Wine).

For English speakers, in everyday usage both are just "red." English has more specific words for red but we don't use them much.

This is a great example of why context-free machine translation is impossible. If you were to translate "red wine" as piros bor (instead of vörösbor) it would be ridiculous.

I'm always amazed when I talk to mechanical/process engineers or designers about Apple products. They put an insane amount of effort into quality and aesthetics that many users will never notice or appreciate.

If only their software had the same quality as their hardware... iOS and macOS have been degrading noticeably over the last few years. Perhaps they ought to use software tech as hard-line as their hardware tech. A device machined to within 10um ought to have a kernel to match.
It can mean that, but I primarily meant other things: you can buy back your time by hiring a house cleaner, or eating out more often, or buying labour saving gadgets, and probably in various other ways.
Agreed, but do we even trust Apple to nail down autonomous software when Siri and anything cloud, mapping, or machine learning-related is always a few steps behind Google's offerings?
> Whoever runs the Wikileaks twitter has posted anti-Semitic tweets

I was surprised by your claim that wikileaks posted something antisemitic, so I googled for it.

Is http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/25/what_wikil... what you're talking about? I don't agree that's antisemetic in any honest sense of that word (ie "hostility, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews"). Like, the article's explanation of why it's anti-semitic starts off with "this might be a little hard to follow" -- not something you'd expect in an article throwing around serious accusations.

Hanlon's razor is the obvious objection, and goes unaddressed. --reputation[Slate];

Interesting, any you'd care to link?

> You're also assuming that whoever posts to the Wikileaks twitter account doesn't want people to believe the most sympathetic, conspiratorial possibility.

I'm merely assuming they aren't going to be obviously incompetent? Like, maybe the phrasing will be self-serving... but look at GP... he's seriously suggesting that they may have mistaken a gardening accident for a state actor...
When I was in similar situation I started a side project in my own time.

It might work well if your side project is not within the same field as your day job. This might give you some ideas on where to go in the future (tech-wise).

In terms of money - generally more you earn the better however sometimes you might find a post where you can advance your `status` (so sometimes working 2 years on meaningful role in startup might in long run result in much better wage compared to "safe job" even if startup's idea did not work).
Buy VTSAX (or any other broad-based, low-fee, 100% stock mutual fund) and call it a day. Fees will eat your lunch far more than you think. Even a difference of 20 basis points (0.2% or 0.002) matters, IMO. Don't pay a fee unless you're 100% sure you're getting more than the fee in value. That's why I love Vanguard (no connection, other than satisfied customer). When you get 5 or 7 years away from needing (not just wanting) the money, then start to scale into REIT or fixed-income strategies to reduce your risk exposure. While you're more than 10 years away from needing it, I think you want to be full risk-on for stocks.

Then, come back in 20 years and upvote this. :)

I'm pretty sure I replied to you last time ;) One important aspect of looking at returns is comparing different strategies, but another one is in realistic planning. There's a lot of literature and marketing out there touting, in my view, grossly unrealistic numbers like 7-8% annualized compound returns as a reasonable expectation for sticking your money in an index fun on the S&P. Considering the huge differences in the effect of small changes to the annualized returns, it's important people have a realistic idea of the volatility in that expected number when they allocate the amount of money they save for the kind of retirement they want.

This graphic is awesome primarily because it shows that it is not correct to assume that volatility in the equity markets is averaged out completely during a timespan that is comparable to the average savings portion of a career.

>Our political system is corrupt and when lots of people (in the many millions) vote for 3rd party candidates, that at least makes it harder for the establishment to maintain the misdirection that our two party system gives voters any real choice.

So you're saying that voting 3rd party makes it harder for "the establishment" to fool people into thinking they had a choice to begin with? That voting makes it harder for the media to fool you into thinking your vote matters? That drinking the Kool-aid makes it harder for Big Brother to trick you into drinking the Kool-aid?
The "recharge" analogy resonates with me.

But solitude (at least for me) isn't just about not being around people, as if people are some kind of negative stimulus, like an allergen.

Solitude is more like a basic need for me, and too much socializing is like being starved of that need.

"What that means specifically is that they are going to turn over all the Blumenthal emails to the Committee that they hav along with some other HRC emails that include a slightly broader set of search terms than the original batch. That of course includes the emails Sid turned over that HRC didn't, which will make clear to them that she didn't have them in the first place, deleted them, or didn't turn them over."

True. Bond yields would be super useful. In 1961, 10yr US treasury yields were 3.84%, and in 1971 they were 6.24%, so you'd have made some 5% nominally by rolling (I don't have 20yr yields at hand), or -0.7% in real terms, beating equity handily.

So, for that period, treasuries > shares > cash.

HOWEVER, I think the chart is not so useful (or intended) as a decision aid for asset allocation (equity/debt/...), but quite good to disabuse people of that notion that "over the long term, you can't lose with equities", or the idea that you can pretty much rely on a 6% real return on your savings.
Ellen Pao cutting ties with YC
Only someone ~ completely unfamiliar with political science or law would contend that the problem with existing legal systems is that they're not mathematically specified in sufficient detail.

Laws are written with intentional ambiguities to allow for flexibility in application. They are guidelines for the application of power that allow different parts of a government to coordinate, not "specifications" in any real sense. To the extent that they don't offer sufficient flexibility to allow courts, governments, etc. to act as they want, they're simply ignored.

The only reason this continues to go on is that no one is brave enough to risk arrest and just publicly read the full contents of these NSLs when they get them. Gag orders have only been declared constitutional when they are used to protect someones right to a fair trial. No one has ever challenged a gag order that protects a police investigation. It is much easier to challenge these gag laws when you have been personally charged with violating them, then you have a criminal trial you can appeal and escalate through to federal appeals and the supreme court. Otherwise it is just civil suits that can be thrown out easily as you cant justify why you need to take this to trial because you are not suffering any monetary damages.
Why do people not like :x ?
Disagree that startups are the best option for most people.

Right, it is definitely not a good option for "most people." What I was saying is, "startups make a lot of sense for people who are talented."

To draw an analogy, if you are a highly talented athlete, then pursuing a career in professional sports might make a lot of sense for you, even though the expected payoff in pro sports is quite low for most people. Similarly, if you are a particularly talented artist, then that career path might make a lot more financial sense than a traditional corporate job. It seems obvious when we talk about sports and arts, but I think it is less common for people to think about their corporate careers in this way.
I think you are missing the bigger picture. This is a story of a town dealing with the problems that arise in a failed state. The Mexican state and federal governments have failed to provide the basic services that they are responsible for, most importantly security.
Even so, their war actually ended. The Boomers experimented with extended war in Vietnam from about 1961 to around 1973, as the prototype. Gen X got to grow up with the Cold War, as the test type. Now Millennials get the production-model War on Terror, where the enemy is intentionally faceless, so that they can't spoil anything by surrendering, being defeated, or going bankrupt. The bogeyman is dead; fear now the new bogeyman.

I think perhaps the concept of continual war has been advanced to conceal the fact that we as a civilization don't really need all hands on deck any more. Governments have been inventing busy work for people, desperately hoping that no one notices that an increasing fraction of the necessary labor is being done by robots, and unskilled laborers have become increasingly superfluous. But the Puritanical, Calvinist, Bradfordian cultural undercurrents in the US frown deeply and disapprovingly on idleness, even as those doing the majority of the frowning and tsk-tsk-ing are now "retired".

In the slave-holding generations, the institution of slavery was largely perpetuated by wealthy plantation-owners, as a political minority. Slaves could escape on foot. Nowadays, the student loan debts may not be discharged in bankruptcy, and will follow you to the far ends of the Earth if you run. You generally cannot inhabit a dwelling without steep rent or mortgage debt. You cannot work without making payments into a system that transfers 15% of your earnings to mostly the retired Boomers, through a system that may not even be solvent at the time Gen X starts retiring. Is that worse than slavery? That's a matter of opinion. I think most would say not, but some might say yes sarcastically or as hyperbole in addition to those with a genuine and vehement disdain of Boomers.
> Realistically, you will never get a majority of US legislators to agree that giving US legislators money is a bad idea.

While the electorate is bickering over distractions like this cycle you are correct. However, limiting special interest influence strikes me as a non-partisan issue, so if the citizens spoke up I think they'd have sufficient influence.. But, then maybe I'm being an idealist. Regardless, your short term solution works.

The Twitter thread got buried mostly by flags and the flamewar detector, and though we usually override those penalties when it's clear that another discussion will just take its place, sometimes we're sleeping off another political controversy.

We'll avoid marking this one as a duplicate and try to merge the discussions as best we can.
A limitation of "encrypt everything" is that many of the bulk datasets you referred to aren't taken from communications surveillance, but rather from other kinds of transactional, subscriber, or governmental records, which are maintained by other organizations (like a bank).

We can defend against a lot of communications surveillance by encrypting our communications, but these other data sources are still there and are mostly unaffected. (Note that this is also true outside of the UK.)

I don't know exactly how to address that. It seems like the main options are avoiding interacting with the institutions that create the records, persuading them to retain much less information about people, trying to get dramatically greater legal protection for other kinds of third-party records, or some kind of major cultural shift where institutions fear turning data over or governments fear requesting it.

Also, some datasets might exist partly because companies are legally required to retain certain records, so even if they didn't want to know that much about you, they may be mandated by law to have some of this information.

I pre-suppose that any and all sources may have bias, and if I desire a balanced view, I seek out multiple sources that project differing worldviews.

As an example, between BBC, Al Jazeera, NPR, and RT, you usually capture two or three distinct views on the same topic, giving you enough info to piece together the facts while appreciating where slants differ.
Every politician has public and private positions. That's just how politics works.

The view the plebs demands often don't align with either the politicians vision for the country, what's possible near or long term, or the people you are indebted to (donors, etc).

In many cases it's acceptable and even advisable, in my opinion.

A head of state has insight into facts and knowledge of others about realities and facts that most will / can / not understand (and SOMETIMES shouldn't even be known publicly).

What's not acceptable is if a politician is a puppet for donors.

The amount of money and network it takes to become president in the US is ridiculous, and basically necessitates being dirty and indebted.

Also, Clinton is most likely no worse than most previous presidents. There's just considerably more information about her.

Introducing the K–12 Computer Science Framework, a Milestone for CS Education
There's nothing remotely narrow about it as a mindset. That doesn't even make any sense. I didn't present a mindset. I think you didn't consider what you meant by that; it's just a stock phrase people say when other people think differently.

The OP said he wanted to do something that wouldn't work if everyone did it. But he's not everyone. If he did it, it would work, and he said that's what he wanted to do. He wants to do something that will work. So why not do it? Since it will work.

Expecting someone else to carry your weight just because you don't want to is rather childish.

Boo hoo, cry me a river. So what? If you're the kind of person who doesn't want to be seen as childish, then there's your motivation for not mooching around at home all day, but the OP does want to mooch around at home all day, so why not do it?
