see my other comment. I wish they didn't start by forcing you to have tinnitus to begin with. I'd use foam inserts if they were given out at concerts and clubs etc - but not if I'm the only one bringing them with me, that's ridiculous.

tinnitus is caused by people listening to music that is too loud. Music is too loud at most venues, if you are standing where you are meant to.

EDIT:

people don't like this comment, and point out that in many places inserts are available. All the same, the general clubs that I go to where I live, don't have them, and, more to the point, nobody else wears them. it's a social problem and perhaps a marketing problem. many bars / clubs are too loud and I as a consumer haven't been solicited to pay for a solution on-site. (even if this exists.) others I'm with don't wear anything either.

The responses here have convinced me that I likely should invest in some and bring them with me - but I don't like that I'm the only one doing so, and it seems kind of anal. i'm just being honest about how I feel. it would be easier if they were more readily available / being sold, and if everyone were using them.

I like to be cool and do the same thing everyone else does. just being honest.
I heard a performance of a couple chapters last month. I'm not musically or scripturally sophisticated enough to appreciate the verse-by-verse mapping to Revelation, but the music on its own was enjoyable.

Yes, which is an equally stupid false dichotomy. All of the best programmers are I know are both self-taught programmers (in the sense that they learned how to program prior to attending any classes about programming), and also college-educated computer scientists.
Sure, but again, it depends what you're most worried about. All of the examples you gave are specifically of targeted attacks, but the issue with password managers is much larger: Automated, non-targeted attacks on everyone putting their passwords in a commonly understood place.

Most ear plugs I've used in clubs or at concerts actually improve (or at the very least make no difference) ability to have conversations.

Probably the best way to have a conversation with someone in a loud club is to stick your finger in your ear. Once you've sealed the hole completely, you can hear them fine!

His whole model is cheating and abusing the goodwill of others, and half the "business advice" in his books is "here's this blatantly unethical technique, and here's a sophist argument as to how it's actually fine" (e.g. "there's no official definition of expert, so just study the subject for an hour, call up a local university and offer to give a free talk, and then you can call yourself an expert who's talked on that subject at $university")

>Do you really believe that it was because Japan is dominantly a non-Christian culture and not because they look different?

I believe it was both - they're two sides of the same coin. Look at the propaganda of the time - the Japanese were portrayed as being fundamentally inhuman in a way that Europeans weren't. The myth of the "inscrutable Oriental" has been around in the West for a very long time, the Japanese mind and morality were considered to be incomprehensible.

That Japanese Americans looked different probably made this xenophobia easier to act upon, though.
That means you probably have hearing damage. I read an article recently regarding this, many younger people have issues with this and it IS physical damage.

I don't know--if you're worried about your kids' safety, teaching them to avoid interactions with the police whenever possible might be a wise move. Their job, after all, is to find a reason to put you in prison and/or confiscate your property, and they can kill you without repercussions depending on how the interaction goes. Instilling a healthy distrust is more likely to help than harm.
In 2005, password managers weren't very popular if there were any. Certainly the good ones didn't even exist[1].

I personally think that jotting down passwords physically is worse than saving passwords in a good password manager. Now, there are a few good ones, like 1Password[2].

So no, I disagree with this security guru's advice with the exception of 2FA recovery codes.

I've learned that it is just necessary to bring foam earplugs to a lot of events. (even movie theaters now).

In general, if the performers are wearing them, you probably should be, too. Your health is not a good place to think about being worried about what other people aren't doing to protect theirs.

The accidents of birth are luck in a certain sense, but it's probably worth drawing a distinction between the luck of inheriting wealth and the luck of winning it on the slots.
You're absolutely right. I'm surprised nobody here seems to care. I guess HN is popular with techies who have root access on their servers, or people who run commercial sites.

What happened to the hobby / non profit apps, blogs and forums that fill 90% of the web and my bookmarks? All of them have a login form somewhere. Tons of people already use secondary emails or throwaway emails, but these site owners now have to pay for SSL or have to upgrade their shared hosting to "business" or the like to get SSL included, or pay extra fees to install SSL.

If all they do is look for a password field that means pretty much any phpBB or wordpress blog out there is defacto "insecure" and the owners of those sites now need to find a way to get SSL on their (most likely)shared hosting. Mine is not free at all, it requires "installation" fees, plus "dedicated Ip" so in the end it cost near as much as just buying their SSL package.

At this point though it's very unclear how Google will find those "insecure" password fields. Does it honer the no-follow? Because last time I heard it's not useful to get a login form page indexed anyway.
Televisions themselves have come way (way!) down in price.

Bigger, better televisions cost 1/2 as much before accounting for inflation.

There was certainly a brief period where medium sized flat screens were a little bit pricey.

Does it not matter that we were running those maneuvers largely in response to Japanese aggression in China and the Pacific? Does it matter that the reason we were in tension with Japan was their murder and conquest spree in China?

Does any of it excuse the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor?

I think the answer is no, despite my great respect for General Butler.
Japan also forced the hand of the Allied nations by invading other territories. Personally I think Japan forced our hands earlier than that (Invasion of Manchuria was a big geopolitical move IIRC) - it just wasn't apparent at the time.
I guess you're allowed to dislike a fact, but any particular reason you dislike this particular fact?
>Why does that matter? Does one atrocity excuse another?

Absolutely if they are related. If you witness a guy setting your neighbors house on fire, then he sets the house across the street on fire. Then you committing the "atrocity" of running him over with your car it is excused. And if a couple of his buddies that were with him die in the process its excused as well.
Better not to do it at all, though?

I think there already is a kind of therapy. I read that they basically determine the exact frequency of your tinnitus. Then you give them music you like and they filter the frequency out. By listening to the altered music, the tinnitus is reduced. It seemed to work quiet well, but I forgot what the procedure is called.

I'm hearing a tinnitus for over 10 years now, so I know what it's like. :)

> Don't think the US didn't do everything it could to antagonize the enemy. Japan was repeatedly slapped in the face until it had no choice but to respond to protect its honour.

Is that what it's called when we objected to Japan's war of conquest against China? Antagonism? Fine, let it be so. Japan brought doom on themselves.
Oh, yeah, that fault in Missouri. It's been probably twenty years since I've been back, but I remember the occasional earthquake. In fact, maybe in the 80s(?), that fault was supposed to let loose the Super Earthquake that devastates the Midwest. Of course nothing happened.

And, yeah, I'll take earthquakes over tornadoes any day. Both are unpredictable, but only one stands a probable chance of destroying my wood-frame house with me in it.
>I wish they didn't start by forcing you to have tinnitus to begin with. I'd use foam inserts if they were given out at concerts and clubs etc - but not if I'm the only one bringing them with me, that's ridiculous.

No one is "forcing you" to have tinnitus. And what's so "ridiculous" about protecting your own hearing?

We are responsible for our own self-destructive behavior, like going to concerts without ear protection. Almost everyone's done it, but let's not blame other people for our own recklessness.
Though, to be honest, most Erlang/Elixir devs would never think of using something like ZeroMQ as Erlang has more powerful and built in alternatives, or something like the Elixir Phoenix web framework that has built in much more powerful functionality. That seems to be an aspect of knowing the tools, easy to miss if you are new to the Erlang ecosystem. :-)
tinnitus can be caused for other reasons than loud music, some that are not that well understood. Any sensorineural hearing loss can be accompanied by tinnitus. Autoimmune inner disease (AIED) and meniere's disease can bring about tinnitus. Tinnitus sucks. I think the best guess is nerve cells in the inner ear firing improperly and generating a random noisy signal that gets interpreted wrong by the brain.

Putting the obligatory moral condemnation of our deluded and evil forbears to one side for a moment, one can't help but notice that our darkest and most shameful national mistakes are nevertheless vastly more humane and benign than those of comparable societies. I would hope that episodes such as this inspire in modern Americans, beyond pure disgust, a desire to identify and nurture the national characteristics that enforced such comparative restraint.
I think this is a great idea! You could even go a step further and also discuss challenges like perfectionism and procrastination. I believe that a lot of developers are struggling with this and would appreciate guidance in areas which are also about the internal challenges and not just about the functional career challenges. I know I could have used a website like this.
> After the US et. al. cut off fuel and oil trade. They don't teach you that part in school.

And do you know why we did that? Was that mentioned? Did they talk about Japan's war of conquest in China or the Rape of Nanking, among a thousand other atrocities?

Please do more historical research. The Holocaust was not caused by seeking the greater good, but instead the greater evil. It was caused when massive numbers of people decided that rule by terror was not worth resisting as long as it did not touch them.
I know you are trying to be objective and disinterested, but reading you combine the German and American camps as somehow comparable is utterly horrifying.

You make it sound like they were both more or less the same, just some people were killed in the German ones.

The goal of the German camps was to torture and kill, the American camps was to segregate.

The "camps" part is an unimportant detail - yet you write as if it's the main thing.

Mmm, according to the description of the iOS Bose Hear app:

Companion app for Bose® Hearphones™ conversation-enhancing headphones to let you hear the world on your terms. This app is not compatible with Bose QC30 Headphones.

Now I'm curious if the Hearphones have the same ANC capabilities as the QC30s + the extra stuff. That would be interesting.
Too much inertia on the provider side for this to catch on and reach critical mass - many septuagenarian sole practitioners out there using paper diaries / files, and larger organisations with some monstrosity written in COBOL (or MUMPS?) that will never change to accommodate this.

I'd suggest something much more low-tech - a website where you can punch in all your details - insurance, allergies, medical history, etc, etc... and then you can print it out (or a subset of it, for different kinds of providers) or generate a PDF that they can copy & paste into their horrible legacy system (an improvement on retyping), or, for those truly at the cutting edge - the kind of electronic transmission you speak of.

When I took math in high school, our textbook had little blurbs that pointed out historical curiosities in regards to math. (The only one I remember clearly is an ancient Greek Queen? maybe Middle Ages, who did a lot of work on conic sections. So maybe it's not such an effective teaching tool since I didn't remember who exactly she was or when or where she lived).

Anyway, all the people who said stuff like "When are we going to use X math topic in real life" were even more flummoxed by random math historical facts that weren't going to be on the test.

Anyway, at least for me, I think I passed a point of maturity where I don't feel "bombarded" when I encounter additional information in regards to a math topic. I did poorly in math in high school, and, at the time, I felt that the less information, the better-- I could only integrate so much. But now at my age (almost 40) learning additional historical facts seems to help me understand the topic better.

Just bring them with you. Better yet, invest in a pair of better earplugs[1] - they have a flatter frequency response, so the music sounds way better than it does with the foamies.

Most venues will also either give you or sell you (for $1) a pair of foam earplugs at the bar. Do it.

Netflix runs way more than 100K EC2 instances and more than 80,000 CPU cores. They use both predictive and reactive autoscaling, aiming for not too much or too little, just the right amount. Of those 100K+ instances they will autoscale up and down 20% of that capacity everyday. More than 50Gbps ELB traffic per region. More than 25Ggps is telemetry data from devices sending back customer experience data. At peak Netflix is responsible over 37% of Internet traffic. The monthly billing file for Netflix is hundreds of megabytes with over 800 million lines of information. There's a hadoop cluster at Amazon whose only purpose is to load Netflix's bill. Netflix considers speed of innovation to be a strategic advantage. About 4K code changes are put into production per day. At peak over 125 million hours of video were streamed in a day. Support for 130 countries was added in one day. That last one is the kicker. Reading about Netflix over all these years you may have got the idea Netflix was over engineered, but going global in one day was what it was all about. (via high scalability link excerpt)
