Almost everything. I work in digitization in the public sector and there are almost no business processes which can't be improved or turned into a self-service with minimum supervision and we've been doing it for a while now.

The reason it has been going on without anyone really noticing is because very few people get fired because of it. The real effect has been on a slow down in new hires as people retire.

The reason for this is that whatever efficiency you free up isn't directly tied to a single job function. Say you do a self-service system for handling employee transport costs. This might free up an entire job function worth of hours in a HR department, but they are coming from 6 different employees. Doesn't lead to anyone being fired, but eventually you'll automate enough systems that someone retiring won't need to be replaced.

Programming isn't even a safe zone. I mean, think about how much time you save by using things like modern frameworks and the interconnectivity of everything and then compare that to how it was 25 years ago.
For those who are curious, the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines is available here https://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015/resources/2015-202... (PDF)

Unfortunately it does not highlight the danger of sugar & processed food. Someone can follows these dietary guidelines and still be able to have a high intake of sugar, HCFS, processed food and all sorts of food chemicals (emulsifiers etc.), all prevalent in the american food industry, and get cardiovascular disease.

No. It implies one is attempting to pass of a false statement as true. If you know your statement is false, you are lying. Just because you don't know the truth doesn't mean you can't lie.
I have heard about that, it has negative long-term consequences, but I will check it. I always prefer "clean" way, I don't like cheating or sacrificing future for todays relieve. But as a last hope it's suitable.
I'll make a prediction.

What's going away is the middle. The Billion dollar fund for equities, I'm not sure what the equivalent size would be for a bond fund or Credit fund.

At the high end you'll always have your Genious stock piker funds, like Buffet and Ackerman, etc. and your best in breed technology funds like Two Sigma.

At the low end you'll still have a bunch of 50-500 million dollar funds that will always spring up and do well enough on the current market trend they predict or leverage.

Unfortunately for the middle managing money gets tough. You can't compete with the really large funds for people or tech due to the amount of money and interesting problems they can throw at the hiring problem.

It also gets harder to manage money when you get that big, old strategies might not be able to carry the new money you bring in from trading gains.
It's nice but I can't help but think of the limitations of Chrome extension APIs. All these Chrome tab managers put together probably only do 50% of what Tab Mix Plus does for Firefox :(

Both Portainer and Shipyard currently occupy the same space. While there is no Docker Compose support at the moment, however, you can add customisable templates, see https://portainer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/templates.html for more info.

I'll wait to actually see it first.

We know what nation state hacking looks like thanks to the leaks about the NSA. There would normally be things like custom hardware or TEMPEST like tools, not kiddie level phishing scams.
Did you tell any friends or associates about these new domains? One of them is a rat.
To test, register another 10 domains, then leak 2 of them to each of 5 friends/associates and see which ones end up on spamhaus
Let's have a look at maintenance activity on wc, shall we?

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/wc/wc.c?view=lo...

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/log/src/wc.c
So you registered multiple domains and the first thing you decided to do with them was check if they are on Spamhaus? Such a coincidence that you would find out they all are!

You may have bought domains that were used for spamming before you had them. If so, you can contact Spamhaus to be removed from the list. It'd be a better use of your time to just get new, non tainted names, because if Spamhaus is listing them so are many others.

Realistically it's more likely though that you yourself are the spammer. For instance, you bought some new domains, started blasting out emails advertising them and found out your mails got blocked for spamming. There is no solution for that apart from stopping spamming.
But some jobs can perhaps be replaced by "lower-education" jobs.

As a (perhaps contrived) example, family doctors could be replaced by lab workers, who take simple measurements, feed them into a computer, and the AI does the rest (i.e., correlating conditions to a large number of existing patient files, and hence referring patients to specialists).
Then hacker news doesn't belong in human company.
You fundamentally overestimate the current and near future capabilities of machine learning.
As always, the quick answer is (almost) always wrong if for no other reason than you don't know anything about the person's situation.

"I have $100k what do I do with it?" is like asking "I have a car what do I do with it?"

If you live in Birmingham, AL and the car is a Tesla and your only method of transportation, the answer will be very different than if you live in San Diego and the car is one of five and it's a half million dollar supercar.

How old are you? How much do you have saved for retirement? How much do you want to earn during retirement? How much do you have in reserve in case you lose your job? In case you have major unexpected medical expenses? Has the money been taxed already or is it in a tax-advantaged account? Do you want it in a tax-advantaged account? What happens to you financially if you lose 10/20/50/100% of it? What happens to you mentally if you lose that percentage?

"Put it in these three funds" is the nest egg equivalent of saying "You drive it, duh" when someone asks what to do with their car.

Except it's not.

The reason we have these publications is that medicine is continually reevaluating its recommendations. Your statement is about as unreasonable as saying 'we don't need computers since sometimes computers stop working'.

Also, if you've ever spoken to a doctor about this, few would disagree that nutrition is an area where we still need more research.

Finally, ask yourself: in the absence of evidence, is a diet that avoids fats/cholesterol (which, a priori, are associated with heart vessel disease[1]) such a silly idea? Now, we know more, and are changing recommendations accordingly.

The author refuses to see mathematical notation as an (advanced) form of speech. Certainly, someone has had the same problem with writing, whenever and wherever it had been first introduced.

I think you have to talk to as many people as you can about this pain point. They should not be friends or family. They need to be at best acquaintances. You want honest feedback from people who don't care about hurting your feelings, only what they need for their business.

How big of a pain is it? Does your idea solve that for them? How much would they pay for your service over what they use now? Can you make switching cost effective? ....
This is a a pretty simple diversified, passive portfolio.

- VOO: tracks the S&P500 index (US large companies)

- VWO: emerging markets equities

- BND: US bonds

I picked these index funds because Vanguard ETFs are well-regarded for their quality and extraordinarily low expense ratios. For example, the much more well-known SPY ETF, which also tracks the S&P500, has an expense ratio of 0.10%. VOO has an expense ratio of 0.05%.
I'm getting a bit tired of the "we don't have TCO because the JVM doesn't support it" argument. You know what doesn't have a tail-call construct either? Every hardware architecture in existence. You know what they have though? They have jumps. That is all a TCO is. It turns a recursive construct into a looping construct. And it's a really simple optimization - just update the local arguments to their new value and jump back to the start of the function instead of a call + return.

No, Clojure doesn't have TCO because of a design decision. We can discuss the rationale behind that decision and the merits of it, but claiming it has anything to do with the JVM is dishonest.
That's true in the general sense, but low interest rates lead to higher inflation AND better stock market performance. So having lower interest rates benefits people with stock market portfolios and hurts people who have mostly cash.
This doesn't deserved to be downvoted.
How many IT hours does it take to set all that up? And a nice phone client? Seems cheaper to pay slack a few bucks...
fluent interfaces from OOP are different than composition because they mutate-and-return the object reference; if the instance is aliased anywhere else in the program there is spooky-action-at-a-distance. Composition is about programming with values without mutation. As far as syntax goes it is a trivial macro to translate `x.f().g()` into `g(f(x))` (clojure actually provides it : http://clojure.org/guides/threading_macros)
It seems like a list of all the pages on the wiki, presumably to turn mentions of those pages in the text into links automatically. Still, it seems better to do this on the server, if possible.
What is this 'bullshit'? There are studies that show correlations between LDL cholesterol and risk of heart attacks (happy to show you some if you're curious).

It's true that we're still making sense of how to operationalize those observations (restrictive diet, exercise, statin therapy, etc). This doesn't make the science worthless; it's just an intermediate step in this particular area of research.
Looks like new maintainers took control and decided the old codebase wasn't to their liking.

Thing is, these changes come with loads of tradeoffs the newcomers usually are completely oblivious to and the new product is of lesser quality than the original, but they feel good about themselves now :)

IMO, paying for characters is at least bordering close to pay-to-win, but skins are more or less donations.

I like SMITE's way of handling this: you can either buy/grind for gods individually, or you can pay $30 to get all gods immediately. After that, the only remaining microtransactions are pure cosmetics, like skins.

An AI system could probably get close, but the act of capturing all the variables might cost the insurance companies more then the current system, which involves a lot of 'gut feelings' about what is important or not for a policy.

There is also licensing involved, in my sister's case she had to earn a CPCU before she could do here job on her own.
Dietary guidelines typically self-moderate to something that they think the populace has a chance of adopting. I.e., they don't want people to completely shrug it off as too drastic of a change.

I would like to see a different approach: show the actual best diet guidelines, and then explain which partial steps will do the most good. Or something like that. It's better to be up front with what's known and then proceed to harm reduction rather than telling people that these partial steps are where they should end up.
Search advertising doesn't require massive data collection, just bidding on search terms. Anyways, I bet anything Apple makes on app store ads is a rounding error compared to their hardware business. They probably don't care that much, and certainly have no need to go into the surveillance business.
That's not what the article is saying. It says 34 employees (not 34%) primarily from a pool of 47 workers on 5-year contracts will be "made redundant". (the rest may not have their contracts renewed)
That's more than 30% of the 131 employees.

The article also cites other companies doing the same thing, even if no staff cuts are involved for now.
Fentanyl Outpaces Heroin as the Deadliest Drug on Long Island
I tried and really wanted to like Clojure, but I hated the error messages. I love how it's a lisp, I love how you write programs in it, I love the REPL, it all just feels nice to me.... until I miskey something or make some other error. Then the compiler seems to hate me personally.

"Here's a haystack where the error /might/ be, have fun finding the needle dipshit." Maybe I'm just spoiled with Elm, Rust, and Elixir's error messages, but the last time I tried Clojure (more than a year ago) I just hit a wall when I tried to make a toy app, as the Clojure compiler seems to hate me even more than C's compiler does.

Has this situation improved? If so, I'd love to take another stab at it.

>But the problem here is not the suitability of languages themselves, the problem is the huge undertaking required to build a gui library which can compete with Qt, gtk etc.

Well, the whole Cocoa/QT/WinForms scope might be huge, but we don't even have good minimal UI libs -- e.g. with just the few basic widgets: buttons, text fields, labels, radio buttons, checkboxes, kind of what HTML forms can do -- and only very limited functionality (e.g. no fancy text formatting in the labels or whatever).

Tons of programs could be GUI-fied with just the above (sort of what Tk does, but decent looking).
To use your example:

Suppose right now, we have 1 doctor, 1 nurse, and 3 lab techs per 50 patients per day. I think technology generally lets us do the same job with just 2 nurses and 1 lab tech. So we lose 40% of the jobs from the higher paying side and probably more like 50-75% of the pay.

In less contrived examples, I think we lose a lot of the jobs in the 25th-75th percentile range, which is the middle classes.

So it's not that we see no jobs, it's that we see bad jobs and the elites. The middle gets automated out, and it's starting to be faster than people can retrain.
In general. This is a passive portfolio. It's designed for a style of investing where you automatically put a % of your income in to the portfolio every month or every quarter, with the occasional rebalance if needed.

Porntainer? Not exactly the best marketing decision, imo.
A simple idea, but a good one.

Something else, you might want to add:

alias drunu='drun -u `id -u`'

Then, with the drunu alias, the command is run as the current user, meaning you won't have unremovable files written to the current directory.
Affiliate marketing is very different from owning and marketing your own product.

For starters, you have next to no control unless you are a major source of revenue for the merchant. This is a huge risk factor. Just ask everyone who got slaughtered on eBay's program when they decided they wouldn't pay a flat $25 CPA for new sign ups who purchased. Businesses lost major revenue overnight.

You also have lower margins and often can't use similar marketing tactics because in many programs you need to land the last click to get credit. That often rules out display, video, mobile in many cases (if the final sale happens on desktop you won't get credit), etc.

Lastly, you are competing with every other affiliate. So instead of having an affiliate program that serves as a force multiplier for your business, you are competing for table scraps, often for only 10-15% of gross revenue as commission on many programs.

So all of that said, affiliate programs can be great to vet a product space. You might get some small sense of market sizing, pricing, positioning, etc all from reviewing competitor program's terms and details.

The short answer is GA because it's free and allows for collecting events. I wasn't sure how people would use the app so I wanted to measure a few events.

Not sure if that means to keep or remove the feature yet though :D

It's a common mistake to confuse "password hash" with "encrypted password".
I should have used quotes. When I said "the latest innovative technology", I meant it somewhat sarcastically. Nonetheless, there are people/companies/industries to whom it does seem completely new and innovative. I'm worried for them because they are awestruck at how "cool" it is and how it allows them to do work better, but they fail to realize the possible ramifications of using a product that's new to them.
