I'm trying to figure out what this buys me versus a Synology box running DS Cloud (Synology's "personal cloud" app). With a Synology NAS I get:

* Data on my own box.

* Remote access via the DS Cloud app on devices, or the web app.

* RAID with an external backup drive.

With Nextcloud, it looks like I get:

* Data stored where ever I like, including my Synology NAS(?).

* Some kind of remote access, and it's stored on the NextCloud(?).

* On my own for backups, no RAID.

* No idea on pricing.

If it's dirt cheap, I guess maybe a Nextcloud is an option. But if it begins to approach the price of Synology's least expensive offers I fail to see the value.
future-proof

I doubt Apples cares much at all about future-proof. Why should they? In the end they're just a company wanting to sell, more and more if possible. Their target audience isn't some industry where one expects 10+ years out of a machine, nor those who value long lifetimes of products. Instead Apple knows very well there's tons of people who'll happily by the next gen if the current one breaks down in much less than 5 years, or just because it's the next gen even though the current one still works ok.
Well, it's doublespeak for not wanting to actually trade-off personal lifestyle factors. Of course, nobody ever wants to do that, but we generally regard it as a Mature Adult Thing to do it anyway.

Okay, so you can bend to "life of the mother" exception. I can follow this a bit further then.

How do you handle and account for miscarriages? A sizable number of pregnancies end in miscarriage - especially if we view life as beginning at conception. So in miscarriage the mother has ended the life of the child.

What's the framework with which you believe this should be dealt with? What's to be done with people who have biological disorders leading to problems with gestation? After all, if life starts at conception then it's pretty quickly no longer just a woman's body.

I'm more familiar with Postgres, but it basically instructs the table storage provider to clean up unused disk.

Think of it roughly as defragmentation. You're trading work (in the form of writes and CPU) for reclaimed space.

Unless SQLite has some semantics around it, replacing it with "xxxxxx;" will likely just cause it to run a bad command...might be more correct to replace it with something like "------;" (comment characters).
> And isn't anymore.

But it was, not not too long ago. 35 years ago it was 50%. 40 years ago it was 70%. Just saying it ignores the core of economic and tax policy in the US ignores, well... the the recent history of the economic and tax policy of the US. Rather than a rank dismissal of the idea, why not explain what's so different than now from then that makes it impossible?

> you can't just throw out a link to graph about tax rates 50+ years ago and think that settles it and the US can be just like Norway.

I didn't. I just meant to show that your reason for dismissing it seems poorly founded, or at least poorly explained.
That's part of the problem. We in SF, NY, Boston live in a bubble, "fantasy America". We do not see how the rest (75%) of America is doing. My friends are buying $800,000 - $1mil homes and think that they did pretty ok while some poor schmuck in Alabama is eating Oreos for dinner... The income gap is huge and these elections are the result of this historical inequality. I'm not calling for communism our socialism here just saying that half of the country are not doing well. Now if we get those self driving trucks rolling - what happens with the last accessible middle class paying job in USA - truck driver and huge portion of middle class America that is still hanging in somehow? We need a change that Hillary couldn't provide and I doubt that Trump could do it either.
While I'm not disagreeing, the historical record suggests that there's nothing new about an increasingly divided society. Or vociferous exchanges of view for that matter. We are not, and have never been, a tame species.

This fixes it, but it's likely any future update kills this temp fix. Hopefully Spotify will take care of this. I also noticed the extremely high writes less than a week ago. Wonder how long this has been going on.

I'd better Flash than new SSD.
Spotify has a few nifty features that must be using a fair bit of bandwidth. Features such as the ability to remote control another instance means maintaining a control channel. The ability to switch music to your local device means all devices must stream the song, as though it were playing on that device, to allow immediate switching.

These work quite well for the user, as it's enjoyable to listen to music on your stereo at home, then just tell the phone app to switch from your stereo to your phone (maybe over headphones) while you're mobile. And heavy use of P2P between devices on the same LAN or Wifi network would reduce internet bandwidth use, but may unintentionally cause a lot of churn and disk use.
Spotify updates itself fairly regularly, so you may need to reapply this fix from time to time.
It's definitely a bit more expensive, especially if you opt for the 1TB SSD. But the X1 Carbon doesn't have a discrete GPU.
Thanks for the follow up. This has been an open support case since October 15th. Regardless of the reason of the issue I find it absurd that only HTTP 500 errors are covered by the SLA.

CNN was hilarious. King and Blizter kept looking at one county in WI, saying 'just wait'. You could tell they were not really mad as obvious HRC supporters, but just completely shell shocked on what they witnessed. By the end, they kept going back to that county looking for magical votes to appear I guess.

Meanwhile, the NYT website had Trump as the >95% winner a couple hours prior.
This has created a very large divide which is very interesting to watch unfold... how certain groups are so off the mark as to the cause, and to watch both groups react. Never thought I'd see something like this.
This is stupid. One side is saying "we want to get rid of all the immigrants." My disagreement with that is not a communication problem, it's that that position is a red line. There's no chance of me being convinced that forcibly removing immigrants is a good idea. So why even have the conversation? What good could that possibly do?
Izik, now that you open-sourced it, why don't you say that it is based on QEMU? Everybody knew it was, and anybody could have asked Apple to pull your app from the store. It would be nice if you guys showed some appreciation for the fact that QEMU developers didn't do that right away.

This is a fucking joke, unless you're a time traveller 100GB/day isn't going to wear out your SSDs. Most modern SSDs can easily hit petabytes, and this would be fine even if they could only hit a quarter of that.

Proponents of storing wealth in another mechanism other than basically land banking need to work out a more marketable and approachable explanation. I only found Georgism after a multi-decade circuitous, torturous inquiry into why the hell median income-based saving for a house was consistently outstripped by housing cost inflation in all top 50 US cities. In an era where economic value is increasingly defined by cognitive input per unit volume/mass (what I call "cognitive density"), it makes decreasing sense to imbue land with wealth store function.
I really, really don't want my camera to be permanently connected to the internet / to have permanently attached wireless connectivity. And I think there is a fair amount of market share in a place that does not want that, either.

No it's not, it's like that as an artifact of what it used to be (that the President was elected by electors, not by the people).

The current generation of MacBook Air, with Five (5) Ports (Power, 2xUSB, 1xTB, 1xSD), not including the mic is pretty good value as well for a certain group of people who use a lot of connected devices in the field.

In a city like SF, that's far from given. There's the discount rate of rent-in-hand today vs. when the construction completes, but more importantly there's a ton of uncertainty around projects. Planned new starts means very little in a city / region that regularly scraps or significantly delays projects due to random bureaucratic machinations.
That's factually wrong. Documented workers’ wages rise with increases in the share of undocumented workers in a worker’s county and employed by their employers.

Why? The law of comparative advantage says we get more productive when we have more trading partners, and the arrival of undocumented workers with limited English skills frees up low-skill American workers who can then specialize in tasks that require better English.

Spotify used to be P2P, several years ago. These days it streams directly from Spotify's cloud servers (or technically Google's).
This also occurs for small payloads (e.g. list operations). Google's support team has acknowledged that the problem was on their end. They sent us this message: "I wanted to let you know we have some more information regarding the root cause of the issue you faced. Further investigation with our engineering team confirmed that the issue was caused by a provisioning error in the internal Cloud Storage infrastructure that led to low performance and “Service Unavailable” errors when handling uploads to the US region."

Unfortunately the problem is still occurring after I got this message (although less frequently).
I think it's worse than that. This particular person is in a position to likely make enough money to not need to worry about the cost of management of this land. What if his kids aren't as rich or don't care as much about nature? What if he has 6 kids and they split the land equally; will 5 generations down the line still feel attached to their distant relatives to be able to hold the land together?

>this is about whether airbnb can rent out units in SF.

To be picky, it is about whether AirBNB can take a percentage out of the revenue that people renting illegally their own house/units in SF by publishing the offer on Airbnb are trying to make.
The actual "provider" is the home owner, airbnb is just the "agent".
Basically some SF owners fail to comply with local Law, but airbnb is not exactly free like - say - CraigList, they take a percentage on the deals, and as such they are co-responsible.
If you plug in three displays and a charger...

...then you're the kind of person that has no problem plugging all of that stuff into a hub so that you only have one cable to connect.

It's a made-up problem with an easy solution that is arguably the only correct solution. If Apple put five ports on there, I suspect your imaginary scenario would then involve four displays.
Ha! I have had this problem for months (OSX) and never looked at Spotify. In the past few days it has written 22GB already, every few weeks I run out of disk space and never had a clue why, restarting would reclaim it.
But most the houses are already built. I live in a house that was built in the 30s. So in my mind the resource cost has already been sunk into homes across the country. Instead a lot of folks are moving into new developments being built in downtown areas.

Perhaps repairing the houses would be less efficient than building new apartment blocks, I'm really getting well beyond my knowledge or expertise. But I'd somewhat presume that instead of building new high rise apartments downtown it would be more efficient overall if we refurbished some of the crumbling residential areas.

Course that only applies to older cities mostly on the East Coast.
I've always wondered when development pressures will reclaim the open space and nature preserves we have in the Bay Area.

Perhaps this is it.
> It isn't sexist to acknowledge differences in the genders.

You know that is emphatically not the kind of statement that people were concerned with when they were talking about Trump's sexism.
Speaking of that, I read an article recently that seriously questioned the integrity of polls and pollsters. I'll dig it out.

But something else: with about a century of polling history my thesis is that wariness has set in and people are playing a more crafty game. They refrain from speaking their minds to pollsters especially if their positions are unpopular or contentious; there is nothing to be gained from honesty to strangers. This is the real cause of poll failures.
If you replaced the ; also, you also didn't change the total length of the strings, I think that's what the problem is.

The author seems to ignore the advancements that the industry has done in the past few years. Here[1] is a blog-post from 2010, introducing then-new in-camera raw conversion feature. Select quote:

> Just shoot Raw, and double the number of frames you can record in burst mode, then process the images you need to share immediately in camera. You can sample down as far as 720x480. That means with an Eye-Fi SD Card you could upload a properly resized image directly from the 60D to Flickr, even if it began as a Raw file.

> Seems like a handy feature to me.

Soon after that manufacturers started including built-in WiFi in their cameras (for example Canon 6d from 2012/2013 [2]), which acknowledged the need for getting images easier and quicker to the world. And the capabilities in this area have been steadily improving, see for example Sony Alpha 7R[3] from 2014. You could argue that its still not yet good enough (which is probably true), but that is completely different argument than what the author is positing: "What I’m complaining about is that it isn’t beginning to happen today, and it should have happened yesterday.". Arguably this sort of workflow improvement already began happening five years ago, and is very much on track to continue improving.
