I have seen this happen to a friend. He was active in a political party, and was interviewed by a local station which was doing a piece on politically active millenials.

They sent a reporter with a camera crew and he spoke to them for over one hour about his political views and ambitions. In the end, only a single soundbite ended up in the piece. It was a metaphor he used somewhere inbetween, so forgettable that I can't even recall it.

Politics can amplify or inhibit success in the market by setting policy, and I think it will be very hard to innovate around this problem.

I'd expect these investors to pick places to invest where government policies will not work against their objectives, which probably is China and EU, not US.
What is lipo mode? Closest I can guess is a typo for 'limp mode'.
I've tried using Anki but found it too confusing. Most features are overkill for what I needed, plus I always forgot to revise.

Earlier this year I build a side project to tackle this problem. I've added email notifications, made interface really simple. Only left what it is - spaced repetition app - Endue (https://endue.me/). After a month of using it, I actually implemented an add-on - Telegram bot, EndueBot (https://telegram.me/EndueBot).

Telegram Bot is super useful as you can revise without leaving Telegram and most of my cards don't require audio or images, it's text mainly. It only takes few minutes a day.

I've been using it for the last 6-7 months, and it helps me with dev cards. For example, if I'm doing a project and need to google some error or explanation on config option or whatever, I add a card after I find an answer. So next time you have this problem instead of googling you just recall it from your head.

There is Messenger version in progress, I should finish it later this month.

Would love some feedback on it.
The team made a talk recently, I'll url it when I get back.
Ignoring the encryption/hashing problem, what happens if your client is moderately technical and also researches the problem, and finds the same answer in 5 minutes? You look like you're incredibly slow (or over-billing) if it takes you two days to come back.

Just tried this on my phone (Lumia 950) I never even noticed this was an issue until now. I tend to not download files on my phone and my pc has Linux.

Only option is to highlight it and save it using another program.
Not with any filesystem with a proper journaling system. Filesystem corruption is almost impossible.
This is modulated by the fact that most people don't arrive at their opinions through critical thinking (I think it's overwhelmingly clear that humans are fundamentally irrational and not fundamentally rational).

So based on that, you could make a strong case that following the news will in the vast majority of cases turn an uninformed, dogmatic Democrat into an informed, eloquent Democrat, and same for Republicans, and therefore won't affect their vote. (Again, in the overwhelming majority of cases, not in all cases).

Then there's the issue of media quality. Is CNN high quality journalism? How much time did they devote to Yemen, then? (on the TV channel, that is) Is Trump eating KFC with a fork more important? The media blames Trump for this, but their ratings-obsession is their own responsibility.

The issue of Trump's phone call to Taiwan is a great example.

On CNN, you get pundit hysterics about Trump's "incompetence".

On Stratfor, you get an insanely good article[0] that goes in-depth on the historical context behind the US-Taiwan "non-relationship", the reasons why Trump "highly" likely planned the phone call carefully, why the Taiwan issue is a red-line issue for China, and why this play on Trump's part could signal a shift to put China back in their place. As Stratfor says: "In the Track II talks between U.S. and Chinese figures, it isn't uncommon for the [Chinese] to berate their American counterparts while the former offer declarations of cooperation and critiques of their own government's policies", so this Trump move may bring much-needed leverage back to the US.

This is just an example of very high-quality vs trash media coverage. Avoiding the mainstream press and seeking specialized press seems like a basic requirement if you want to be informed.

There are 2 "problems":

- People that stay in their bubble and only follow biased news (which includes mainstream news, which has a mediocrity bias. Most people are in this category)

- People that choose to follow almost no news, because there's no person al benefit (after all, if following the news doesn't directly earn you more money, you're wasting your time. This category includes probably quite a few people on HN, but few nationally)

The former cannot be "solved" without censorship. The latter is what very few people talk about, and it does not want to be solved.

We all want to live in a society where most people are informed, except the personal ROI of it is substantially negative. The smart choice is to be underinformed, if you value your time. The people claiming "we all have a societal duty to stay informed" never bring this up, and never offer a resolution to this dilemma. Kantian ethics (what I do is moral if and only if the world would still be fine if everyone did the same as me) disregards the fact that nobody wants to be the sucker.

News is one thing, political spin is another. I think news is good. Most "news" is really political spin though. As a US citizen, what I did was start only reading UK news. That helps because I'm not interested in UK politics, and articles about US politics there are both fewer and a little less spinny. So reading BBC/Guardian lets me focus more on the actual things happening in the world.

There is already a browser that ships with built-in ad blocking: Opera.

Although, as it's less known than others and it has no Microsoft or Google shoving it in users' faces, I guess you could count finding and installing it as "effort".
That does not matter unfortunately as realistically a carbon tax would be below the lower bound estimate of the 'true' cost due to political considerations.

But, even ignoring politics, people have estimated the effects of climate change so it's possible; but there's going to a spectrum of answers.

A few things that Immediately jump out at me.

The 2u fat twins are very dense, You'll need make sure that thy hosting company can actually cool it effectively.

I'd look again at your storage strategy. You'll save a lot of money, and it'll be much easier to debug if you dump ceph.

You have a clustered FS, when you appear to not really need it. By the looks of it, its all going to be hosted in the same place. So what you have is lots of CPU to manage not very much disk space. The overhead of ceph for such a tiny amount of data all in the same place seems pointless. You can easily fit your data set on one 90 disk shelf 4 times over with 100% redundancy.

First things first, File servers serve files and nothing else. This means that most of your ram is going to be a file server cache. Putting applications on there is just going to mean that you're hitting the disk more often, and stealing resources from other apps in a non transparent way.

get four 90 drive superchassis, connect them to four servers(via SAS, direct connect) with as many CPUs and as much ram as possible. JBOD them, either use ZFS, or hit up IBM for GPFS. (well IBM Spectrum Scale). You can invest in a decent SAS controller and raid 6 8 10 disk stripes. But rebuild time will be very high. Whats your strategy for disk replacement? 400 disks means about 1 every four weeks will be failing.

What is your workload like on the disks? is it write heavy? read heavy? lots of streaming IO? or random? can it be cached?

Your network should be simple. don't use cat6 10gig. It's expensive, not very good in dense racks, just use copper cables with inbuilt SPFs, they are cheap, reliable.

Don't use Super micro switches. They are almost certainly re-badged.

Your network should be fairly simple. A storage VLAN, a application VLAN, and a DMZ. (out of band will need a strongly protected vlan as well)

on the buying side, you need a reseller, who is there to get the best deal. You'll need to audition them. They will also help with design as well. But you need to be harsh with them, they are not your friends, they are out to make money.
I can't help but feel that this article was targeted toward TV news.
I usually read the news online. And most of the time, reading only the title is enough to be informed.

It's my computer and my browser, it renders pages the way I want it to.

Ads are pollution, IRL and online. I will block them and ignore them as much as I wish to.

I would be happy to set a header in my http requests, telling the site "Will not render" anything I consider to be advertising. But the moment you send me the content, it's fair game to display however I wish.

I am still undecided about things like Patreon.

No, there are different parties involved.

Government wants companies not to get off carbon for the $$$; but companies want to get off carbon (to some extent) as they would not have to pay carbon taxes.

It's just like any other tax. Companies are good at tax avoidance (note: this is legal unlike evasion).
Modern graphic card drivers contain full compilers, for the GPU's shading language. It seems reasonable that you can extract performance with better compiler technology.

On the other hand it also seems reasonable that a compiler for e.g. NVIDIA's hardware might be hard to re-target to another vendor's hardware while retaining the same advantage.
I have never run a deployment this large, but I wonder: Only 1 staging server of 64 servers? I have usually tried to at least have a same order of magnitude when testing architecture changes: Sure, it works on my laptop, but how will this change work on 10 servers? Isn't it common to have a full staging setup, with similar dataset sizes?

I can't quite put my finger exactly on what it is, but it feels like there's a difference between the kind of assistance that a senior developer asks for and the kind that a junior developer requires.

I mgiht guess that a senior developer asks for assistance when it will save them time - they could work it out, but it'll be more efficient for everyone involved if they get some assistance - whereas a junior developer would be lost without it.
I agree. All TV and film writers whether intentional or not, inject their politics and morality into their work.

Its something that takes many years to realise and fully appreciate.
Wallabag it. Save web articles. Read them later. Read them anywhere
I fully expect this trend to continue, and even possibly accelerate in to 2017.

London has a real problem with wealthy foreign investors parking money in London property; often, they don't even rent these out, leaving them empty. The new mayor, Sadiq Khan, has ordered the LSE (London School of Economics) to conduct a review in to this problem. I expect this to hit the confidence of investors (both foreign and domestic) using London property as a place to park money, and if it's as widespread as I think it is, prices will continue to decline as this "investment" disappears.

This is fantastic news for young people who live and work in London and want to get on the property ladder; not so great news for the property developers who've been exclusively building luxury apartments that nobody can realistically afford - but I have trouble sympathising with them.
Oi.

Tesla warranties their battery pack and electric motors for 8 years/unlimited miles. Their CTO has stated they expect 10-15 year lifetimes, minimum, from their stationary storage battery packs. Existing Model S data has shown their battery packs only degraded 6% over ~180k miles of use. The drivetrain will last the entire lifetime of the vehicle.

Electric motors are more reliable than internal combustion engines. Full stop.

Wind is cheaper than all other energy sources. Solar is still expensive, but that's what subsidies are for.

Yes, it's absolutely fine for energy prices to go negative when renewables are over producing.
Sadly, I haven't heard/read anything good about running Linux on the iMac 5K, which I'm tempted to buy when/if it is updated in 2017. I don't understand Apple's vision at all, and it wouldn't surprise me if they ruined macOS in the next five years. Being able to install Fedora in that case would really buy me some peace of mind.

> I'm opposed to all tracking that isn't opt-in by default

As another poster said 'defaults matter'. If you want a representative sample of usage then "opt-in" taints your data. I would argue that there is nothing wrong with correctly anonymised, aggregated, opt-in tracking. I want most websites to track my usage and I hope they use the data to make their site better. Any time I don't want to be tracked I can switch to incognito.

However - there are many issues around data-sharing between 3rd parties and deanonymising techniques. It's also fairly hard to trust that companies stick to their word so I'm not entirely complacent.
What I meant was: who decides in individual cases. Obviously neither the legislature nor the courts are going to do that. Companies are going to do it, and they are going to do it in a way that minimizes their cost and legal exposure. And that means, under the current law, if they are going to honor their fiduciary responsibilities to their shareholders, they are going to err on the side of censorship. (Note that Google is in a unique position of not actually being beholden to their shareholders. Because of the way the company is structured, Larry and Sergey have absolute control, just as Zuck has absolute control over FB. But those are extremely rare situations for public companies. In any case, I do not want a world where freedom of information depends on the benevolence of a handful of oligarchs.)

Show HN: Picture-driven web testing (~like Sikuli and Selenium inside the browser)
I am from Czech Republic and I am using quite a new platform called Zonky.

What I see is that quality of loans go down as a platform scale and I am lucky to be with this platform from the start. So my cohort is made up of mostly early adopters. I am year in my portfolio with 0 defaulted loans and 1 late payment (I feel like this loan will default during the lifetime).

My strategy is to invest to nonconsumer debt (no car loans, no holiday or Christmas presents loans or loan refinancing). I am investing in loans with disclosed profession (investing in IT professionals, govt workers, school teachers...) and with disclosed loan history (aiming to people with 0 debt). I want the loans to be paid in 3 or 4 years. I do break my rules for about 5% of portfolio that goes to riskier loans, this is where I get majority of my yield, otherwise my yield would be like 4 or 5% instead of 7 - 8%.

I guess this strategy is not applicable in US or UK, where is normal to have some debt (there is/was very different debt culture in most EU), and even here is still harder to discover these good loans, so I basically stopped investing in there.

Next year I want to start experimenting with b2b loans for unpaid invoices (business sell their new invoices with terms like NET30 or NET90 to boost their cashflow).

It is an interesting proposition, but I do not know why, I feel to give out my book for free, the reason for this might be from the fact that I learned programming on my own reading free books, the great books came with a hefty price tag, hence I don't feel it morally right to publish my book/tutorial at a hefty $$.

Said tutorial/book since people have told me that if it isn't present in actual stores it can't be called a book :)

Also, my first book/tutorial is available via leanpub.com, so users can pay if they want, so far hardly 10 have paid, but gitbooks.com where the online version is hosted does get around 200 page views daily + 800 downloads monthly. Leanpub currently has 550+ readers.
