In theory there's no shortage of engines available for scrap value because they're obsolete and/or their expensive moving parts have reached their life limit for airworthy aircraft, and most of them will keep running for a while yet. The fuel bill is a bigger deal than the supply of old engines

I still agree with the people here that think this is a colossally stupid idea.
The majority of the people you are facing off against do not represent oil companies, or even work for them.

I am saying that you probably arrived at your view by your intuition, after looking at who was on either side of the debate, and how you felt about the 'issue', then you found evidence to support your view. The idea that any of us arrives at their view solely through a careful analysis of the facts is quite optimistic, and I think Hume was on the money 250 years ago. If you believe you are capable of a careful examination of the views on the other side, I implore you to read Alex Epstein's book all the way through, and give him a fair hearing; I would bet you $20 at even odds that you cannot read his book and give an accurate summary of his arguments, because you will find it too frustrating.[1] Changing your view because the facts contradict your intuition and peers is an extremely painful and slow process, which most of us resist at all costs.[2]

There are many tests for the sincerity of beliefs.[3]

When that's the case, a ring buffer is a great choice. It's not required, though - the writer could block when it detects a full buffer.
It could be as simple as Bay Area hackers being accustomed to higher salaries and negotiating higher (or not accepting lower offers) even in places with cheaper living expenses.
> For example when enanglement is involved all of this goes out the window.

Fair enough, this is sort of a counter example to the "increase the action" trick, but it does work for any local effects.

> Also known as the measurement problem.

There is no need to violate causality to solve the measurement problem. Even superluminal solutions don't allow for the superluminal transmission of information, so causality is preserved. There are huge families of solutions that don't require superluminality at all (einselection, many worlds, etc.).

This is what I used to think. Until I started using it. And mind you I'm not a power user - I'm barely a developer at all.

I think the reason that git has this proliferation of tutorials, cheat sheets, etc. is not that it's not easy to use, because (as I've discovered) it is easy to use. No, I think the reason is that people have a pre-conceived intuition of what version control should be, and that intuition is actually wrong. So when they encounter something that does it right (git) it doesn't feel right. The tutorials and cheat sheets help the committed user get over the hump and start to "think git", but if we didn't bring our biases to the party there wouldn't need to be so many of them.

As for front-end interfaces, some of that is an attempt to shoe-horn git into something it isn't, which is dumb. But some of it is just adding visual features that are sometimes nice to have and not easily replicated in a terminal.

This, in my own way. I've found that I'm happiest with my work when I spend the day, even if it isn't that long, actually working straight through.

Take breaks, but don't be distracted.

It's super-damn-hard to get back into this, for me, after neglecting these habits for a few weeks: when I have downtime.
When I, as an engineer, look for a new job, I never even run into growth/revenue figures. Companies like to put those numbers into the decks they show investors, sure, but I've never seen a company put them into the job ads they run. It's hard to compare what you don't know.

Also, a lot of the time when I'm working at these startups as an employee (rather than a founder), the ongoing success and cashflow of the business are made utterly opaque to me and every other employee. Which means, if a potential hire came and asked me whether the company I'm working for has good growth/revenue... I wouldn't be able to tell them. I'd have an impression, but it'd be just that: an image created by the salesmanship of the business side of the company. Which means that asking others when I'm looking is just as useless.
AppC has layers[0]. In fact, an ACI is just a layer.

While layers are codified into the OCI specification, the manifest system is flexible and allows for future extension. The main goal of OCI is to provide a specification for what is already widely deployed without introducing too many new concepts.

They're much lower tech than Virgin: typically no screens on the backs of seats (especially for shorter flights), less of the fancy check-in stuff, the app isn't SO slick.

True, but...I bring an iPad or MBP on every flight so I don't need a screen. Fancy check-in stuff? I dunno, how fancy can it be (serious question asked out of ignorance)? What Alaska has seems to do the job, and I'd be at a loss to improve on what I view as a simple process. Virgin's nice, yes, but I really just want to be transported from point A to point B without the cattle car feel of less expensive airlines. For me, Virgin does seem to hit the happy medium of "costs a little more but worth it", but they don't fly Seattle to anywhere I care to go other than SF.

Service? I've had them screw up, but they have always eventually made it right. The worst was when it snowed in Seattle, meaning the plane never left to go get me in Orlando. Just a voice mail at 3:00 a. m. telling me I'm screwed. Called right back to their outsourced overnight call center who told me I could fly out in two days. Eventually my wife took over, got a FTE Alaska employee who got us out that day, and exit rows for the trouble. Now, that was with a five-hour layover in DC, and we shouldn't have to spend hours on the phone. I'd say they did their best, but "best" would have included taking me up on my offer to fly out of Tampa instead so they didn't have to funnel all the cancellations through Orlando. But it was good enough for me, and I've had far worse from other airlines. And Alaska has never once given so much as a sideways glance when I walk on with my mandolin case.

If they can extend the Virgin amenities to Alaska's SEA-MCO route (my most common trip), I look forward to it. Otherwise, meh, I'm happy with Alaska the way they are.
This doesn't factor in stock compensation AFAIK. For instance, I started at Amazon at around $90k in salary plus signing bonus of $20k so like $110,000 my first year out of college back in 2013. I made about the same in 2014. In 2015 I got promoted to SDE2 and my salary is closer to $118,000. But additionally I also got like $60k in 2015 in stock and this year my stock compensation is just about $100,000.

I'd imagine this is the case for a lot of tech companies so comparing salary alone probably isn't going to make a good argument one way or another.

It adds an additional parameter that influences RNN behavior over time, so I could see it possibly being useful. I would speculate that this could have value for providing slowly-updating subsystem information to real-time control systems.

Yeah, we're in the process of moving some of our services from docker to rkt. We're about 1/2 way done and all new ones are being deployed on rkt.

We've been hit by to many regressions docker versions and issues with docker daemon that required us to restart docker and all the containers on a host. One systemd unit -> rkt container -> our service is just such a better failure domain.

We're currently running containers outside of explicit container orchestration like k8 or docker compose. But in the future we'll be moving some of our elastic workloads to k8 and in the long term almost everything but services that rely on persistent data on lock disk (where network block device doesn't cut it).
I laughed too - but also wouldn't mind working professionally in a Clojure-oriented shop despite having some freedom to use Clojure now. But I'm a lone wrangler of parentheses in my current role and if I could (in my location) join a team of better Clojure hackers, I think I could take my skills up a level or two even if all I had was the opportunity to talk shop in the hallway.

Using a random driverless car will be much cheaper than owning (perhaps roughly as expensive as taxis would be if there were no taxi driver who needed to get paid). Random cars can be in use virtually all-the-time every day. The portion of costs a single passenger pays will thus be small fraction of the total costs. For a car you own, at least as it works now, you generally pay 100% of costs. So it's not going to cost just "a little extra" to own your own car; as it works now owning a car results in huge levels of waste, while the expensive item sits doing nothing, occupying a (valuable) parking space.

I suppose you could own a driverless car and have it continuously deployed as an income-producer moving other people when you're not using it. That creates a lot of additional headaches and problems, though. E.g., how to make sure it's always available whenever you decide you want it? Or, will it be safe to leave your items in the car when it's used by others? (I would guess not).
This could also be an artifact of the metric. I call this the "Geico" fallacy.

Geico advertises that "People who switch to Geico save 15% or more". Notice that people who would lose money by switching to Geico should rarely switch. Accordingly, this metric will usually be positive.

Consider that people moving to a new city for a job may need more incentive to move.
This would force the authorities to call back to the journalist's home base. Meaning that their employer will now know that the journalist is being detained and lawyers can be contacted. This is probably one of the safest ways to do it. And if that became standard the authorities would know that the journalist doesn't have the password. As for reviewing the photos you could do it once they are uploaded, or just be able to display the last photo taken. There are ways to make that convenient and secure.

I wrote a blog post [0] on using the API for Google analytics to create a filter to block most of the referrer spam.

tl;dr for the post is: You setup 2 filters one for the hostname, and one for the language. (The language part is not added yet I'm still writing that update, this is a new spam technique in the last couple months where the data is coming out of Russia)

You then have to create a referrer blocker on your webserver which returns 444 if the referrer contains (list if sites).

I also use piwik personally and have found it's definately lacking compared to GA in what you can do but it is quite adequate for my own personal blog/projects.

Piwik can do campaign, goal and event tracking. Which sounds like it has what you want. You could go for the hosted version and pay X amount if you want someone else to worry about it.

Two mythologies

Our secret sauce is one thing. Exactly one thing. What do you mean "tangentially related" we'd outsource anything unrelated.

The exit strategy is to be bought by a multinational megacorporation not to have two offices, or even ten. There's sort of a financial fund raising dead zone between having one office and being purchasable and having 500 offices and buying little companies. Very few companies jump that gap and its safer to try and get bought that to try and become Google2.0
Perhaps developers in the Bay Area learn very quickly how much demand there is for their skills and that confidence translates directly to leverage during negotiations, regardless of where they look for a job. There's too many confounding factors to clearly pick out which are significant without much more precise data.

On a side note: Calling them hackers when you clearly mean run of the mill corporate programmers seems like something straight out of an HBO show.

Ask HN: Onsite coding interview laptop and dev tools
A good workman never blames his tools. Today, I had my first and worst onsite coding "pair programming" interview experience. Note that I've done timed take-home exercises with no problems and really enjoyed them. It was a 45 minute task with a shitty dim lit 13" IT notebook on power saving mode. It took me about 15 minutes just to get the hang of the unfamiliar keyboard layout so all your shortcuts from Copy and Paste to comment/uncomment keep glitching and the pressure of making sure every keystroke is perfect with the interviewer you're paired with. It was quite dreadful, missing keystrokes, things falling apart, just zero "flow" and mounting pressure.

How common is this setup in interviewing?
Am I being unreasonable in feeling it was a total waste of time?

We made some headway but it was clear I was not moving fast enough.

The more people dismiss corruption as normal in the government the more corrupt it will be.
Well, Donald Trump is very unlikely to be Bigfoot, because there is wide consensus that Bigfoot does not exist, and because there is no evidence that DJT is, in fact, Bigfoot. If someone declared this as a fact, and presented it as news, I'd agree that it was "fake news".

However, it's both established (in the piece, elsewhere) and uncontroversial that:

- Peter Thiel is an adviser to Donald Trump

- Peter Thiel founded Palantir, which is one of the most valuable companies in the world due to its surveillance and analysis of the population for the federal government, including a contract specifically with ICE for $35MM

- Donald Trump's policy is to increase deportations

- Advisers to the President are likely to both be exposed to privileged information which can be commercially exploited, and able influence policy in their own financial interests.

- These conflicts of interest provide incentives for government officials to act against the interests of the people, and are associated with political corruption.

What about the above is speculation, or bereft of substance?

You are free to express that you find certain facts displeasing or uncomfortable, but it's childish to pretend that they are lies when they are well substantiated.

How to Install Docker Machine on Linux Mint 18 and 18.1
I dunno, once you've mastered something practice can become meaningless. It's an incredible skill to be able to hit any point on a dart board, but once you can do it... you can sorta just do it. Some sports require practice to maintain stamina and strength but not darts. And there's only so much variety you can really add to your throw. You can be certain he'd have to practice if he wanted to start throwing with his non dominant hand.
That is a very good point. When businesses close down or leave town, the professional service industry follows. All of those doctors, accountants, lawyers, psychologists, physical therapists, and so on need people with good jobs to support their income, so for them there's no sense in sticking around when theirs are the kinds of industries that reliably expand and contract with the economy as a whole.
"Pyramid Scheme" is a fairly apt phrase for academic careers. However, it's not true that reviews are mostly done by tenured faculty. I never ranked above post-doc and I reviewed several papers.

I think the real reason for the incredible inertia in the academic world has more to do with the level of competition for jobs. When moving from one stage of your academic career to the next regularly puts you into competition with a couple hundred others for a single position, you look for every advantage. The practical effect of this is that one can easily spend a decade or two of life after college putting in 60-80 weeks as a standard. When you have to be that focused, it's hard to put energy and time into changing the system.

Exploring our newest scenario sample app: BikeSharing360 [video]
Uploading images via WiFi has been a common feature of pro cameras for a couple of years. I've used this capability at times but it's limited in terms of the amount and rate of data that can be transferred this way.

In a controlled studio environment, the only good way to accomplish an adequate data connection to PC/laptop has been though USB tethering. In many of the situations journalists/filmmakers are are referring to, the "upload scenario" is likely impractical to achieve.

The ideas discussed in the comments here pretty much show that there's no simple solution to the journalists' quest, but this should hardly be a surprise. As we all know assuring "computer security is a hard problem".
But the speed limit in almost all of SF is 25?

"Encryption keys are generated by stretching the user's input password using PBKDF2. The resulting 512 bit key is then split in two - the first half is sent to the server as the user's password, and the second half is saved locally as the user's master encryption key. This way, the server can never calculate the encryption key."

Can you link to the class on your github for this?
> Locally encrypting files would require the user to enter a password every time they switched the camera on. Which is a usability nightmare.

This isn't true: you could use asymmetric crypto and encrypt the photos/video with the journalist's public key, leaving the private key at home. Encrypting to a private key does not required a shared secret. This prevents the journalist from decrypting the photos even if pressed to by authorities, assuming that "home" doesn't include the authorities' jurisdiction.
Interesting but they are not the only ones doing this. United and aetna are collecting data as well, and also employ nurses that follow patients into their homes or other settings.
The data operation is what is emphasized in this article, but it really remains to be seen how much the data can have an impact on people's overall health - preventing hospitalizations, making sure patients take their medications etc. maybe it can guide clover and let them determine where to allocate manpower - but in the end it's still the manpower that matters.

from my experience, a lot of it depends on having the right family, and perhaps community, support structure in place.
