Fetch a quote from Supermicro and tell your Dell or HP folks that you'll buy that if they don't match the price.

If you're large enough, then you should be talking to other folks including Wiwynn, ZT, Quanta, Celestica, et al.

They won't always get all the way there, depends on volume, but often they'll get pretty close, and it'll probably be a 25%+ additional discount vs. what they'll offer without you twisting their arm using a cheaper manufacturer as leverage.

They have to believe you're serious, obviously, which can mean visibly throwing a couple small orders to another manufacturer to tell your sales team they're not the only game in town.

In quality terms, Supermicro is worse vs. Dell/HP, which can still be fine if you've got enough scale to work through all the little issues with firmware.
Nope STV is not so good, it still falls to Arrow's Impossibility Theorem which applies to every single rank voting system.

Sure, first-past-the-post is horrid, but if you expend political will, time, power, energy, money to reform the voting system, it's a tragedy to replace a horrible system with a bad one when we actually know of a good one. We will not get infinite, costless resources and chances for voting reform.
The quote in context is: "Husbands and wives may allow their partners to fill the role of best friend, letting other relationships fall by the wayside (something I’ve tried to actively resist)."

It seems the author is advising against forsaking other relationships and placing the entirety of the burden to supply all of our friendship needs on our significant other. I think there's wisdom in diversifying our relationship portfolio the same way we do with investments.
The comment I was responding to mentioned bullying as a response to "inner pain". If the study I quoted is accurate that is not the case.

Of late, I have been considering Europe more and more. This might sound a little shallow, but for a relatively similar cost of living, European wages are much less than the somewhere like the Bay Area. That is probably why I've been leaning towards the US.

But I really like Europe too, so that could be an option.
Unstructured regular life? Do you mean retirement?

Pretty sure your best shot at happiness, true happiness, is to retire early. Not so you can be lazy, but so that you can freely pursue endeavors which inspire, and motivate you. That would be an amazing life.

First, I'm all for AI-based transportation solutions, but why does it seem like there aren't nearly enough redundancies being considered? There are just going to be competing proprietary solutions?

In the US, the NHSTA should get ahead of things and push for open standards and potentially for some level of development of standard safety features like being able to set some form of material or device on objects to mark them in ways that can transmit specific information about objects like other cars, fixed structures, etc.

I could make 10's of millions selling stickers or paint additives that would mark a human-driven car's edges to help "protect" it from automated vehicles' AI.

This is the correct answer to run github, the SAAS product at scale. Probably not practical for github the on-prem installable software. They may have to bite the bullet and separate out the two systems at some point anyway though.

edit: it's gitlab not github. The point still stands though.
This actually works fairly well given it was just launched. Definitely not at feature parity with other providers yet. Only a limited selection of instance shapes available and most are "extremely large" (vs. what GitLab is running now).

I wonder if this is a generational thing, I've kept in touch with a few high school friends, and none of them are married in their early 30's.

In the past decade I've forgone serious relationships for studies and work, and I'm alone at 31. It's sad in some ways, but at this point I'm more afraid of a bad partner and financial ruin than taking a chance at a happier life.

Pro-Trump CEO gets booted from YC
I doubt Trump will touch the H1B, if you read his 100 point plan, he makes it pretty explicit that he is in favor of the H1B. But he wants to make it hard to get a green card, so even if he is in favor of the H1B he may kill it accidentally. But if you can intern for Google in school they have overseas offices so even if you couldn't get a work visa here that doesn't mean you can't have a great career working in an overseas office for one of these big Silicon Valley companies.
I don't think it's healthy to rely on alcohol, even if it is the "social lubricant". On the topic of being outside (the other thing you implied in your comment), it can be more difficult for some people than others. If you find it easy to go out and make small talk, consider yourself lucky.
An official set of words is only useful if your NLP task is restricted to items that themselves are restricted in their language use. Twitter and SMS data sets are interesting because they represent something closer to casual speech rather than formal writing.

The French Academy provides an official dictionary and language usage, but speakers hardly restrict themselves to its contents.

Filipino mostly refers to the Manila dialect of Tagalog, whereas Tagalog is a language with many dialects existing in the Philippines. There are lots of languages in the Philippines but as far as I know they aren't referred to as Filipino.

For a lot of NLP problems you will probably have to make your own data set. It can be a lot of work.

This question is eerily similar to my current situation: hoping to go on a 6 month sabbatical starting in 2017. My goal is to, basically, work on things that I've always dreamed of doing but haven't pursued because of the demands of everyday life.

> New research recently found that starting at age 25, we lose more friends than we make each year.

No you dumb bitch, for most people in some cohort they will lose more friends then they gain, but this cannot be applied to any individual. I made plenty of close friends in my 30s, much more than my 20s.

If you want more friends in your 30s adjust your lifestyle out of something average. Unlike money and careers this one is rather simple and accessible to most healthy people.

Aiming up to be bought by EMC in two years or so
Wow, a lot of negativity here. To me it seems like this is something you really want to do and, assuming you have the resources to give it a try, why not? Worst case scenario you go back to what you were doing before but with some new skills and experiences.

The two points I think are worth considering are:

1. Coding bootcamp vs postgrad qualification in CS or similar. I'm not in the coding-bootcamps-are-the-devil orthodoxy. In fact, I've seen a lot of great juniors come from bootcamps, but you do have to recognise their limitations. A bootcamp will get you to the point that a self-taught highschool code wizard will be at just before they hit university and realise that they don't know anything. Employable, sure, but lacking in fundamentals. You don't have to learn CS from a university, but one way or another until you learn it there will be a ceiling on how far you can progress as a developer.

2. Part-time vs full-time transition. One thing I will agree with is that you are going to be a way worse software developer than you are a PM, just by sheer weight of hours put in. For that reason if you're looking to make a switch I would do that wholeheartedly rather than learning on the side or moonlighting. Otherwise you'll be pulled in two different directions, and the one that you are better at, have more experience with, and can earn more money from will probably win.

If you genuinely want to be a developer to build stuff, I would do the coding bootcamp, get any job as a developer you can find, then teach yourself CS as quickly as you can while on the job. The CS will mean more and be easier to understand because you already have the practical skills and you'll be able to call yourself a developer sooner. Just be aware that the stuff you build straight out of a bootcamp will not be deep learning blockchain automation algorithms for SpaceX, it'll be web apps with questionable business models.

Another option is to just bite the bullet and get a real CS education up front. This will take longer to get you to a point where you're actually building things, and keep in mind that CS doesn't give you practical skills, so you'll probably still need to start with entry-level dev work, but your trajectory to doing interesting stuff will be steeper from there.

Ultimately it's down to your resources and your priorities. If the drive is to just make stuff then go with the bootcamp, it'll get you there sooner. If you mostly like the cutting-edge ideas and high-level work (and you can afford it) go with CS first. Deep learning isn't bootcamp material.

And keep in mind that either way you're 5-10 years out from being good enough at this stuff to really live up to the picture of it you have in your head, so make sure what you're doing in the mean time is going to make you happy.
The thinking on this issue seems to go back and forth. On one hand is the view that marriage is primarily an economic partnership to provide the basic for successful child-rearing, and that emotional and intellectual fulfillment could be found via other avenues. The more modern ideals says not only should you be in love with your partner but you should also share the same interests and be one another's primary and perhaps sole confidents.

But lately some suggest that expecting your spouse to also be your best friend is impractical and puts too much burden on one single relationship. Instead, the idea goes, you can be perfectly happy with a sufficient level of compatibility and support, while relying on a wider network of relationships to fulfill other intellectual and emotional needs. That not only is it potentially more healthy, but more realistic, as you can't necessary hope to find one person who matches all your interests and pursuits.
I have to wonder what the attempted feature was that resulted in this.
Thank you very much for such detail.

> On the other hand, I couldn't believe that this stuff actually worked

Well, those two scenarios are weird but not actually abuse of power. There was no vendetta or bad faith like you imply sometimes happens right at the end of your comment.

Regarding the crying. I think that's common in "shame based" cultures (guilt ones work differently)
90% of the "unique cables" weren't unique. Is that HDMI cable 1.1 or 1.2 spec? What, you can't tell? Is that USB cable 3.0 compatible, or just 2.0? What about the port, is it 3.0 or 2.0?

The "this cable looks the same but doesn't work" has been an issue since the beginning of computers. As for "fried devices" - those are, in every case I've seen, an issue that had nothing to do with USB-C and everything to do with cheap Chinese knock-offs.

> Listen, you know, as long as we're alive we can change things. Go out to a bar meet some strangers. It's never too late to make some friends. My problem has always been time.

FWIW i've had consistently low success with finding friends at bars. Mostly i find people i chat to aren't there with an open mind to getting to know people, at most it'll be a quip here and a joke there, but ultimately they're with "their crowd". YMMV.

> Just don't give up, we don't need hundreds of good friends just a few. Even one or two are better than none.

I totally agree with this sentiment, though.
You can't "barter" labor, either. Allowing it would leave room for a return of a lot of abuse, especially in the hospitality industry (e.g. jobs that elicit substantial tips, like a cocktail waitress in a resort).

Whatever you think of their effect on what the OP wants to do, such laws are well-intended and are a response to a legacy of past such abuses.
By point of comparison, we had storage problems that went on for months or years. We had a vendor that was responsive to slas, but the problem was bigger than just random hardware failures, it was just fundamentally unsuited to what we were trying to do with it. That's the risk you take when you try to build your own.
I wouldn't feel so bad about that... UFC 205 should be amazing
Using a resource abstraction layer such as mesos can alleviate this downside by consolidating many of your workloads onto a pool of large dedicated machines.
Thanks for the shout out! Without being a commercial, this high performance storage/analytics realm is what we focus on. We were demoing units like this: https://scalability.org/images/30GBps.png for years now. Insanely fast, tastes great, less filling. Our NVM versions are pretty awesome as well.

The problem is now they're not here and I just can't seem to take the next step with people I meet and move past the acquaintances stage.

There are VOIP providers which offer free inbound numbers with voicemail and per-minute calling, no need for a monthly fee.
I feel like Facebook must do a phased roll out of their front-end modifications such that they'd detect that before it was big enough to matter (or perhaps during language normalization which must be huge for them). My guess is they were running something on the back-end to "clean up" dead users and it went haywire.
It is my understanding they are making a fair profit in the Pixel phone and Android from ads too. Sure it's pessimistic but, after my experience, I still love to hate AWS and will choose it first. While the privatisation of Rackspace is a worry, damn their support is so good, albeit, they only offer a very limited number of services compared to GCE, AWS and Azure.

It's important to realize that the research mentioned by the article is just that. It's not going to be applicable individually to everyone. There are people who make brand new best friends, when they are in their 30s. It's just uncommon.
There's already work happening on a version of Vampire for the Atari ST.

Ageism is definitely a thing, but I'd challenge your assumptions about 40. I turn 40 in April, and make more money, and work on more interesting problems with new tech than ever in my career.. most of the developers I know my age are well employed. Then again, I'm in Texas - it may be a much different story in SV/SF or in "big tech". That said, a 40 year old still using the same stack they used at 30 is probably in trouble. It's less an age thing than one's ability and willingness to learn and grow.

I think the most amazing part about AirBnB is that it's actually usually more expensive than the last-minute or anonymous deals with the hotels, or, for the long term rent, craigslist.

So, I can rent a pad on a monthly basis from Craigslist at 1000$/mo, or the same one from AirBnB at 1300$/mo (or whatever their fees are), and we call it progress?

Oh, right, AirBnB has a "beautiful design" with those useless background videos that waste my bandwidth and my battery, that's why an extra 30%/month/week/whatever is warranted! Thanks, but no thanks.

At least for me, I've found that in order to maintain friendships I need to see the person at least once per month. (Go get drinks or something.) If it goes more than a few months, then we pretty much stop talking.

Is that ~1 month timeframe normal? Just curious what other people think.

Looking back, recently, there's been a few friends where I say to myself "I really should've hung out with them that weekend," because now we're not talking..
Shit dude. Just code at home for fun and keep doing your job. Save hard for retirement and stick out a decade and some change or so and then you're free!!!

Or, go back and become an expendable framework of the week coder and then find yourself needing to relearn those skills every 5 years to do the same rote job.

Coding is great fun, until it becomes a routine. Then it's just like anything else.
