Soon automated marketing will be getting responses from customer proxies and we will achieve the singularity.

On a more serious note I think the article points out something that automation erases. This person wants a genuine interaction instead of a simulacrum of a human interaction.

Hamming has a great lecture series where he consistently re-iterates the point of human/machine interactions as a symbiotic relationship where the machines augment and enhance human qualities instead of just substituting for them. Norbert Weiner before him says the same things at the dawn of cybernetics and information theory. There is much potential in these machine enhanced systems but it seems like it is all being squandered.
I was looking into tape but its so expensive. Even LTO-4 drives were ~500, and that's "only" 800gb. Most tape drives require a SAS interface. for LTO-5 and up, you're looking at $1500-$2000. At that point, you could just buy another NAS and mirror your data that way...
I've been very pleased with my Synology. I have a two bay with 1TB in RAID1. I will upgrade next year - probably will get a DS416 with four Red 6TB in RAID10.
People also go to psychiatrists to be screened for whether they need medication, likely at the recommendation of a therapist.
The problem: this was long ago on an OS written largely in Lisp.

On a current typical OS (Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, ...) the chance of ever seeing a Lisp-based device driver in action is near zero.

I was just at slush, and I think one of the startup finalists was working on this problem, though honestly, it's a pretty foreign problem to me.

I'm actually a Marketing Automation Specialist, and I would like to clear up that this is not marketing automation. These are just canned emails. The fact that they use email automation systems for them is silly as I can pretty much do the same thing with an Excel spreadsheet and a mail merge.

Usually these emails are the result a sales-focused organization being oversold on a marketing platform and trying to put it to good use the only way they know how: buying lists and sending them unsolicited emails.

But marketing automation in general is much more all-encompassing and you shouldn't necessarily mind it when done well. More and more it doesn't even involve email.
There's also a problem that the money saved by closing the big institutions wasn't put back into better community (outpatient) care. So people have to be acutely unwell to get any treatment. People with chronic problems don't get the treatment.
Why helium? I know it's inert but there are many other noble gases. Why not some other gas?
Also, why not create a vacuum to minimize friction?

I used to use irrlicht and Ogre. Both have the problem of only really doing graphics and to a certain extent input. In comparison, Unity and Unreal offer the whole package: graphics, asset pipeline, audio, networking, and physics.

Speaking from experience as I'm currently making the jump to Unity for my projects, the time savings of choosing one of the all-in-one engines instead of gluing together engines is really substantial.

Kidnapping in the the latter category it does not require anyone to press charges. Assault is the same way as well. If LE has evidence they can move on it. The fact of the matter is prosecutors don't want to risk their win loss ratio.

This is really cool! Bookmarked. :D

ps. I can't use any of your examples. I use a portrait orientated screen which causes the examples list to go below the example. Hovering over them causes the example to change, which changes the height of the area, which forces a hover event on another item in the list as it gets pushed up/down which repeats the process until the height is either too short or too tall for me to be hovering an item in the list.

Consider making it a .onClick() event after a certain screen size? :)

E: Woah! Just realized you're the same kalid behind betterexplained. Another really awesome resource. :)
SpamAssassin is discarding almost all of those for me. I just looked in the reject folder, and there are hundreds of such messages, all rejected. If you're seeing those, your spam filtering is inadequate. Are those getting through Gmail's filters? If they are, Google is slipping.
Vacuum = requires special lubricants or no lubricants at all, since they would dissipate due to the lowered vapour pressure. Lubricant everywhere would likely be problematic.

It's also harder to seal in, and would likely require a much more rigid construction to avoid warping of the drive (these are precision devices after all).

Lastly, the hovering of the R/W heads over the platters requires an atmosphere - they are lifted by the air/gas accelerated by the platters (this is a well defined lift force and self-regulates the head height relative to the platter).
Non-open source proprietary systems, as one does :/
Very strong on the parsing front - FSharp.Data contains parsers and type providers for a variety of common formats and FParsec is a mature parser combinators library.

My understanding is that the extermination camps were typically not part of the concentration camp system. Auschwitz was a notable exception.

From http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n18/thomas-laqueur/devoted-to-terro...

"Auschwitz seems to overshadow all the other camps. It also captures our attention because we know a great deal about it. ...It was the only death camp (Auschwitz II) that was also a large slave labour camp (Auschwitz I), with the result that tens of thousands of slave labourers, having endured selections, random violence and the death marches, survived to bear witness to genocide."

"Most of those killed in the Holocaust were not inmates in concentration camps."

"Much of what we have come to see as the particular moral debasement of the concentration camps was absent in the death camps."

"[Extermination] camps were grotesquely efficient: Sobibor murdered about a quarter of a million people, a quarter as many as Auschwitz-Birkenau in one three-hundredth of the space and half the time. Precisely because of this efficiency, we know relatively little about the dead. There are only three survivors’ accounts from Belzec, where, between 17 March and late December 1942, 434,500 Jews were murdered. As Primo Levi said, we know little of those who were truly at the bottom."

"Conversely, much of the story of the concentration camps does not overlap with that of the Holocaust. The camp system was a latecomer to the project of genocide. There was no representative of the KL [concentration camps] at the Wannsee Conference [which organised the Final Solution]. It was only after the conference that Himmler decided the camps could play a big role, not primarily as sites of immediate extermination but as reservoirs of Jewish slave labour. Only towards the end of the war, as Wachsmann points out, did the majority of Jews find themselves in camps and only for a few weeks in 1938 were they the majority of registered inmates."
Very poor. You would pretty much have to build a language from scratch. I am working on doing that with a language called emly, supports effect tracking as opposed to haskell style purity. I am having to basicly do everything from scratch.
Ah, yeah, forgot about those. so many disks.

The drive heads float on air, which is why vacuum doesn't work, and the benefit of helium is that it's light -- not that it's inert.
Wife's a real estate agent so I have some insight.

Agents mainly do two things:

1. If selling they can put your house into MLS.

2. For buyers they can let you into a house.

Being able to do these things requires NAR membership, a state license, and other fees and cost real estate agents thousands per year. Also driving meetings clients at houses takes gas and time. Also your 6% commisiion is paying for all the other people that the agent spent gas and time on who did not buy a house.

Would you be willing to advertise in the news paper that your house is for sale and leave the doors unlocked so that random people could check it out?
So delighted to see this :D
I once fail/won with a paper in whitespace. I love the non-traditional programming languages. They're fun, whimsical, and sometimes a nice break.

LOLCode is still my favorite though. I wrote a prime number generator in it for fun :)
I've built an archival application that can turn off individual drives at will and full JBODs too. That makes the disk "off line". Useful for people who don't want to have any tapes. The application works with tapes too anyway :)
Government should allow company to pay part of the salary as life long Income bond. Company will have tax credit for that. Government will pay them fixed monthly income depend upon value of bond. I.e. Deferred inflation. But this can solve minimum income idea very easily.
Yes, absolutely. ZFS snapshots are immutable, such that once a snapshot is created nothing can change it (until to destroy the snapshot). Not designed to help with ransomware, but is a perfect use case they'd protect against. (You also want backups, of course).

Edit: I guess I'm assuming the ransomware doesn't have access to the raw disks, which would be true if you were using a NAS (e.g. FreeNAS) and connecting to it via NFS, CIFS, etc.
That sounds utterly ridiculous, and adds to the list of reasons not to call the police except in dire situations.
For anyone wondering, this is not a technical problem. It is a political/business problem.

It's a solved problem to make a system that stores information about home listings and transactions. Other countries have done it. Yeah, houses are annoying because of all the weird combinations. But the thing is just a CRUD app.

This system still exists because of organizations that are based on information asymmetry. A small group of experienced people could make a really, really nice platform for sharing real estate data in a month and it would never get anywhere.
FParsec is fantastic. I have implemented a parser that supports a indentation based language in it. FParsec makes it very productive, and very fun.
It is when society defines the environment though, to a certain extent. When wealth can be used to change the environment to tailor it to your skills, then you do get an advantage.

I'd like you to elaborate more your idea in terms of the relation between skill, society and environment. Assuming all three influence each other.
I've got an 11-disk system with raidz3.

All the striped modes will (in effect) limit write rates to the bandwidth of a single disk, but ZFS is good about this: So long as the writes are reasonably large, as they'll likely be for a media server, you'll usually get the maximum streaming bandwidth of the disk. So, 150-200 MB/s. Reads are much faster.

It's not something you'd want to use in a DC, but for mostly-idle storage at home it's perfectly fine. Add in an SSD cache, and it'll be downright speedy.

That gives an effective capacity of 64 TB, given 8TB disks, and the chance of four disks dying before you can replace even a single one is pretty low. The usual limitation of ZFS applies, however: You have to decide the number of disks up-front, as you can't expand the size of a RAIDZ vdev later on.

(Well, you can, but only by replacing all the disks with larger versions.)
I've found that a ZFS cluster is the best solution for your kind of problem. ZFS has its own awesome software RAID system. You could get six 3TB drives, use two of those drives for redundancy with RAID-Z2, and then get 12TB of ultra-reliable private storage.
So when are Google shutting down Google Home ...
The issue with driver compensation almost always depends significantly on the costs employees are incurring to drive these trips.

In particular those drivers that buy or lease a car just to drive for Uber seem to struggle. The money seems fine if you already have a car.

I realise that Uber does a bunch of things to undermine this such as encouraging drivers to lease cars and having stringent requirements on the type of car they are driving, but maybe we should be complaining more about that than the revenue they get from Uber.

We'd like to run learning algorithms on robots, but there are no great options for hardware. (Happy to discuss in depth if someone wants to build it)

I bought a Synology NAS this year: Highlights include the Amazon Cloud Drive backup, Plex Server, and it can hold four 4TB drives. No problems so far.
I know! There are some unsavory folks in our hood; surprised it's not on the map.
Yep. And so is the one in this post. If there's interest I'll message the professor and post it. But it is mostly homework assignments and some bad notes. (You can do directory transversals for solutions. He doesn't care that this exists...)
I think it will be all fun and games untill someone has to pay a price for all the tracking and then most will wisen up. Untill there is a personal price to pay no one really cares as the risks are theoritical.

Anyway since a significantly large number of software folks are actively working on creating and enabling these systems discussion in a software centric environment usually leads to handwaving and normalizing.
Eh I was thinking more USPS and less expectation of timeliness. More about the "set it and forget it until it shows up" kind of thing. Point understood though, as $10 starts to get into a competitive space (e.g. Spotify).
Freedom is wonderful, but we have a saying in the USA (from a famous court case): the rich as well as the poor are free to sleep under bridges. The meaning of this is that freedom without good resources is not actually that great.

After all, you could be completely free from Google and every other technological capitalist firm right now by throwing away your computer, phone and so on, and returning to ink and paper for your communication requirements. But of course you don't want to do that because it would entail a terrible loss of convenience, and every time you needed some information you would be forced to make a trip to the library or bookstore, or ask someone else to find the information for you etc. etc.. There is nothing ethically or psychologically bad about such a life - many of us are old enough to remember growing up that way - but it will put you at a severe economic and social disadvantage compared to virtually all of your peers.

In theory, I agree with you (and I mean that on many levels; I'm a devoted fan of Michel Foucault, for example). But I cannot eat theory, even if you consider it to be delicious cake.

BI for developers. Developers run many organizations and teams now, but most Business Intelligence-ish tools are either built for business people (Tableau, Domo) or for marketing (all analytics products, specifically GA).

I feel like there's a big opportunity for a tool/tools that are installed in apps as a package and then customized from there. Many teams build a version of this in house (Instacart open-sources theirs), and I think it should be a product.
"What's most frightening to me is the pretense of personal property rights. It hangs out in the back of most people's minds, encouraging them to resist communal ideals like universal basic income and true public healthcare (at least in the US). So, once something incredible happens, like a house fire, cancer, unauthorized government seizure, etc., we're left to fend for ourselves when these issues would be minor if we were all working together."

While that's a great utopian idea ... it never works in practice, and it turns out pretty horrible.

Because you have to justify why someone should work hard to contribute, or why anyone should work harder than the next guy... if the outcome of doing as little as possible to get by is the same as the outcome of busting your ass every day - everyone will do the former and society would stagnate pretty quick...

As much negative weight people put on property, ownership and just about everything anti-socialist/communist ... its the system of reward for effort that drives innovation. Profit drives change.
If you see people who are questioning the status of the detox week, I encourage you to let them know and point them to the thread I did above.
+1 I have this same issue. I can hear but can't quite make out the details especially in places with a lot of background or competing noises.

This looks like a new spin on an old concept though. Perhaps it's made more practical since we all carry phones now.
Sure, but a situation in which every individual picks and chooses the laws they agree with doesn't scale.
Yeah Dorian for sure, his interviews have been really interesting as well. Dorian said basically though he was just using larger doses of Test, nothing fancy. It's not that Arnold wasn't gifted or hard working, but it's also important to keep in mind "a little bit of Dianabol" goes a long way with even basic attention to training and diet, both of which I do agree Arnold already was working with.
The SAS interface itself might not be an issue. Interface cards are pretty cheap, and even reverse breakout might work.

But the tape drive itself? Oh yeah. You can pay for Backblaze for a long time before you've made up that cost.
The simplest solution to the 'chronological pile-up problem' (nice name BTW) is a Wiki model, where replies are appended by default but the entire content can be edited if necessary. (C2 demonstrates this quite well.) For simple problems, conversations behave exactly the way they used to, but when it starts getting complex someone can go in and rearrange the conversation into a more logical form. This actually maps quite well to email: by default replies are appended to the bottom, but they can also be inserted inline (some mailing list etiquettes even demand this) or indeed the entire conversation can be rewritten. You'd probably want some sort of merge algorithm in case someone replies to an older email.

In fact, my usual approach to dealing with tickets/issues/emails which start to develop this problem is to make my own private copy of the thread and edit it in precisely this manner, though I'm the only one this benefits since it doesn't get sent back upstream.
Anyone have success with Unroll.me? Wish there was a way to use it without handing over access to my email account.
Dang it, I did a search for "feathers" and nothing relevant seemed to come up. Maybe I typoed something without noticing.

I'm sure you're right, bach it's pretty damn good! Sometimes you can just sense history through the music.

I probably wouldn't pick up on loss, I expect it is like enjoying real bean coffee vs the granulated matter that passes as a substitute. It takes a while for your taste buds to discern the difference and I expect it is the same for our ears.

Having said that I also have been listening to experimental ambient music so I know I enjoy the deeper vibrations you get at that level.
We're going to dead end soon with SSD's right? Once we get to a certain density. Then what? You can't get any 'better' than that, like you did going from paper tape to magnetic tape to disks to flash
Yes. Amazon Cloud Drive
A family member is a lawyer in the Worker's Comp, SS, and Family Law space. THE software for lawyers in this space is called A1 Law. It solves a lot of real problems lawyers in that space have (form letter generation, calendar integration, case management)... but it's so slow to use new technologies. They advertise PalmOS integration. My family member has to have their own server in a closet running the server version of this so his team can use it! He has no idea how to manage a server, it's absurd that he has to.

Everyone I know in law is dissatisfied with every part of their tech stack. If someone could come up with an integrated SaaS solution, and be SUPER careful about compliance... they would be printing money.

Put 3 or 4 of these in a Synology enclosure or attach directly in a uATX case. I use btrfs "raid1" which protects against any one drive failing and has filesystem-level checksums and compression, but people also say good things about ZFS in a similar mode. Just use either one of those with scrubbing.

Yup, it's all about knowing what you care about, what other companies care about, and what tradeoffs you're willing to make. "Being willing to hire engineers who do not have a college degree" is one.

And out of all medical patients; Psychiatriatric patients are the least vocal/proactive. Most are just trying to make it through the day. Or, that's what a Psychiatrist once told me.

Taking advantage of patients is not uncommon. I see Psychiatrists/Psychologists abuse their position in society for wealth. It's an art afterall too.

My opinion of the speciality couldn't be lower.

These are just my opinions from being around the system for decades, from Psychologists to Psychiatrists. I'm sure there are good/ethical/moral health professionals out there. So save any santimonious speech. These are just my antidotal observations.
I've yet to find something more impressive to me than the fact that a hard drive can accurately find a single bit out of trillions on a spinning disk.
