> I often wonder if it's just people who have a different concept of what is a necessity vs a luxury due to never having to go without for a significant part of their lives, or people who have just never lived outside of the cities or other expensive areas.

In my case, I lived on the lower end of the income spectrum for much of my childhood, and lived even poorer while building my startup in a low-cost area. So it is with deep experience and sincerity that I say I have no desire ever to repeat those years, nor to inflict such a life on any future young humans.
Those of you who're interested in obscure engineering history might like to read up on Oleg Losev[1] who developed and built solid-state negative resistance radios and amplifiers long before the first practical transistors.

There's always a balance, but I'll echo the other comments: One layer is not enough. Do you actually think that, if a DVR is behind a firewall, it shouldn't need a password for admin access?

Strong passwords, two-factor auth for privileged services, access control policies (ACLs/firewalls), access logging, etc. are all requirements of any secure network. And that was just "off the top of my head on a Friday" kind of stuff.

Okay so I dug into this. There is a font cache on the GPU and another in CPU ram. I believe it will fall into the drawcall batching issue you are concerned about... but terminals don't need to get >60FPS in most cases.

Ah, thank you for the detailed reply. I started using CF more extensively yesterday, due to their free CDN (which is working great), but I agree that their MITMing the internet is worrisome. Maybe I should switch to MaxMind, if it's cheaper than CloudFront.
DecaWave sell UWB modules that perform real-time location to ~10cm in a controlled environment: http://www.decawave.com/

I imagine that they use a system which is not too different to the way GPS combines the signals from multiple satellites to calculate the receiver location.

When you receive have a receive lock against multiple receivers, the spreading code allows you to determine time of flight to the nearest carrier cycle, and the carrier phase can provide even more precise timing. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilateration
It's false (at least here in the UK) that investors blacklist companies that have raised equity crowdfunding. The trend is going the other way: towards crowd equity rounds being anchored by venture funds and to VC co-investment.

See eg http://lcif.co and https://www.crowdcube.com/pg/not-just-the-crowd-1712

Re: edit, absolutely. Crowd investment into a portfolio / fund vehicle is a great idea. Likely to be more like a quant fund / index tracker though, rather than professionally managed -- because who wants to pay 3% annual fees. And what would you logically track? AIM or crowd equity platforms because they are your signal.

I did most of an electronic engineering course and discovered that I like software more than hardware. After programming portable barcode readers and interactive voice response systems, I wrote a Windows device driver at one company then applied to write Linux device drivers at another. I was strictly honest during the job interview, saying I wanted to write device drivers but I had done only one for Windows and none for Linux. The interviewer said "Writing Linux device drivers is exactly the same as writing Windows device drivers" and hired me. I found that it wasn't and faced the kind of learning curve that requires mountaineering equipment.

I succeeded and even trained someone else how to do it. When we started, he didn't know C all that well so I split the drivers into hard and easy parts and gave him the easy ones. We wrote about six drivers together. I made his parts harder and harder until he was able to write a driver on his own.

Perhaps I haven't been reading the right software architecture books but it seems to me that very little mention is made of changing the design to suit the ability of the individual programmers, the way band leaders like Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller did with their arrangements.
Here's an idea. Get a single 50w COB LED that can match or get close to the Nichia (they exist, I'm sure of it.) Actually, Nichia has some of their own that do match - http://www.nichia.co.jp/en/product/led_product_data.html?typ... and http://www.nichia.co.jp/en/product/led_product_data.html?typ.... Then you just need a simple heat sink, and fixed voltage power supply with adjustable current. Those aren't too expensive, but you're still looking at roughly ~$80 in total BOM.

"for certain categories".

If a device was made in 99, I wouldn't blame it for having DES. If a web appliance was built in 2005, I wouldn't blame the maker for unsalted MD5 passwords.

If a device or critical app were made in 2017 and stored its passwords with 777 permissions in the clear, I would blame the maker.

I find the change from having a family not very large, say 2x food and perhaps to be very generous +1k clothing. The chief difference is the desire to live in a own space instead of having roommates, which are hard to find with a family.

Suppose you live in Cambridge, MA and eat all organic food; rent with roommates and utilities costs perhaps 800/mo, subway costs perhaps 100/mo, food costs 300/mo, clothing is perhaps 100/mo, health insurance perhaps 1k/mo. This adds up to 1300/mo, 28k/year. Throw in a very luxurious 5k/year in travel, 4k/year in restaurants and hobbies, and your 100k salary / 67k takehome pay supports you saving 30k/year (more if you use tax advantaged accounts).

Consider a family of four in such a case. Taxes run about 21k/year instead of 33k/year, so takehome is 79k. A 1br in Cambridge runs about 2k/mo, maybe 2.5k/mo for luxury. Subway is 150/mo, food costs 700/mo, clothing of say 200/mo, healthcare is perhaps 1.5k/mo; these run 5k/mo in total, 60k/year. Throw in 5k for travel, rental cars, and hobbies, and you're still saving 15k/year for emergencies.

This seems like a very luxurious life, as someone who's lived it; expensive, and I found it slightly more luxurious than makes me happy. So yes, families affect saving rate, but also provide perpetual free entertainment.

You asked for:

And yourlogicalfallacyis.com says:

I would also mention "moving the goalposts" but I'm happy to leave this as "burden of proof."
It is, but most people who'd buy the laptop will be just fine with 16GB for the next 1-2ish years.
You're right, however, CarPlay is already a very recent development. Bluetooth seems like quite a major omission, especially when you consider that it has been an established technology in cars since at least the turn of the millennium.

Thankfully that doesn't bug me so much, because I tend to want to charge my phone when I drive anyway.

Well you need at least one layer to protect from the outside world, and another for insider attacks. Many times they can be invisible to the user. For example many places have a policy that all internal services must be Internet hardened, as though they were exposed on the broader 'net (even though they're behind a firewall).
One thing this doesn't necessarily account for is factors like population growth (particularly the the baby-boom) and the explosion of popular culture and celebrity notoriety through mass media. Are there simply considerably more people considered "celebrities" since say the 1950's than before?
Your post is essentially a giant attempt to redefine things until you are right.

Anything good feminism does isn't really feminism. Anything bad anyone does is. Talking about feminism is therefore bad because it's bad.

Not to mention the circular logic - feminism is bad because she's written an article about encouraging her kids to be feminists which is bad because feminism is bad.

You are picking out little bits of my post and arguing against them, but ignoring the actual points I made.

I'm not going to argue back on each little point because it's irrelevant to the point I'm trying to make - just noise leading off.

I made a post saying the site was bad because it is portraying feminism incorrectly - this article, and moreso the article linked are designed to make men feel persecuted by extremists feminists when that doesn't reflect the situation.

You argue that the article/site are reasonable, because feminism is now largely an extremist movement now, and it is anti-men enough to be a problem, not simply pro-women.

That, I argue, is complete rubbish. Discrimination against women still happens. The article I linked is not anti-man at all, and your arguments that it is don't hold water, and are essentially circular reasoning and 'that's how I see it'.

Please, don't dissect my post and cherry-pick bits to strawman. Stay on topic to the core point.
I don't buy that. Given that the VCs are not investing their own money, they have huge portfolios with many investments, and I'm investing something I can never get back: My time and energy, I'd say they're taking nowhere near the risk anyone else is.

Agree. The article had good points with the part about pitching especially helpful. I do get too that the focus of this piece is more on how to get into these publications. I do wish though that the author spoke a bit more on how he survived as a freelance writer.

If you're a good enough writer with good ideas and you keep pitching persistently, you'll get traction soon enough. It's whether or not you're able to survive the unstable early goings that's the issue.

From my experience, if you're jumping into freelance writing without any savings (and starting from scratch with no connections with editors, no previous published pieces, etc.), it's hard to survive. Pitches take time (some editors might take months to reply). Writing/research takes time (you're essentially unpaid until your piece gets published). Even harder is the invoicing. You have to hound some publications to pay you (some take 45+ days to pay after your piece gets published). You really have to plan your pipeline well. When I tried doing it full-time for a bit, I planned ahead in terms of income (i.e. income from this month came from all the work I did in November). The moment you slow down or you stop pitching though, you know it's going to affect you in two months time.

Getting through the gates is tough but the hardest part is trying to find sustainable work that can pay your bills month to month. If you can develop relationships with editors (who consistently greenlight your pieces or give you regular assignments), that helps a lot. But, if you're starting out without any of that, the constant grind to find something regularly is stressful.

I still do it because I love it but I don't do it full-time anymore because I need to pay my bills.
How do they define performance, and how do they measure it?

Yes, some of the systems used subscriptions too, which had their own set of issues.

Additionally, domains are almost never completely understood. Even if they're well understood today, things will change tomorrow. CQRS/ES in your own words is not good when requirements change. Well guess what? That's every system I've ever worked on.

If you've had success building non-trivial CQRS/ES applications I'd love to hear more specifics about how you solved all the other issues I've presented.

I'd think that after a celebrity does, there would be an increase in the number of edits / length of an article. Wouldn't this skew the numbers, increasing the "celebrity" statistic for everyone that has died that year (and hence making the year seem more extraordinary than it is)?

It would be interesting to do the same analysis for 2015 and previous years, using wikipedia snapshots at the end of each year, and see if those years also appear extreme.
No, the entitled perspective here is that simply having money entitles you to the bulk of reward, and that a group of people who will not have negative consequences for a company going under is taking more risk than people who would be losing their income stream, and possibly their health coverage and home.

Major takeaways:

(1) Putin directed major escalation in cyber campaign to undermine Clinton and boost Trump.

(2) Paid social media "trolls," financed by the Kremlin, sought to maximize propaganda value of leaked DNC emails.

(3) "Putin has had many positive experiences with Western political leaders whose business interests made them disposed to deal with Russia, such as former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi and former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder."

(4) Moscow intends to apply lessons learned from its US cyber campaign to further election-tampering efforts, likely including upcoming elections in France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Respectfully, I don't think I'm committing any of those fallacies.

-The idea that some information is classified and some isn't is silly. There's just information that you're willing to divulge and information you're unwilling to divulge. I see no reason to assume evidence that would implicate Russia must be so sensitive that the government would never divulge it.

-I'm not moving any goalposts. There's only one piece of this puzzle I'm interested in: evidence linking Russia to the leaked emails. I accept that Russia has a broad propaganda network that often attempts to undermine US interests. I don't see that as an extraordinary thing.

-See above. I accept the astonishing amount of propaganda. But the emails are the key piece here, and there's no concrete information in this report.

I don't dismiss the DNI's claims, I just don't see the extraordinary evidence generally required for extraordinary claims.
Also a huge societal difference. In many ways, Japan can be isolationist and xenophobic. Controlling what comes in and out of the country is easier when it's completely surrounded by water too. Japan doesn't have a wide open border with Mexico.
And it does irk me when they lump in suicides with "gun crime." 2/3 of the fatalities by firearm in the US are suicides. I think that's important to note. Japan has still maintained an unusually high suicide rate.
That's going to be difficult given how often and how fast eyes move and how sensitive they are.

Sure, complain away! This is the Internet after all. My problem is the fake pity for users who make the conscious choice to use the problem despite - or regardless of - it's faults. If you don't like how AgileBits handles Dropbox permissions, either don't give it Dropbox permission or don't use 1Password. Complain, sure, but don't pity users for the sake of hyperbole. I read the original post in this thread as genuine pity for AgileBits, which I share - they get to make the application they choose, and users may or may not use it. But hyperbolic pity for the users? That's my problem.

His trend line is a linear one, so I don't believe it is accounting for anything other than previous death counts. Population growth and the expansion of celebrity through mass media would expect a more exponential curve. Life expectancy increasing may have also lead to a delay of seeing a more exponential uptick before now, but death always catches up eventually.

Anyways I don't have an answer just postulating that unless you would need to have a distribution of current (and past) celebrities and their ages as well to account for that factor. Something you could probably do with that Wikipedia analysis actually.
Is that true? My understanding of the AGPL was that any software product which uses it as a component becomes subject to the AGPL - it has the linking semantics of the GPL, not the LGPL. If that's not the case, please do disabuse me of my misconception!

>>Why is anybody in the government so unable to provide convincing evidence that the Russians were directly involved in hacking the DNC?

Russia has plausible deniability. US intelligence community simply doesn't find it very plausible.

At the end of the day, it comes down to the saying: if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

What we know for a fact so far:

-Trump has very strong business and personal ties to Russia

-The DNC has been directly targeted by actors with known ties to Russian leadership (but not a state actor, because Russia wants plausible deniability)

- Russian leadership is celebrating the fact that Trump won

- Donald Trump is STILL refusing to release his tax returns

- Donald Trump keeps disparaging the entire intelligence community for trying to delegitimize his election, despite having applauded Comey's smearing of Clinton two weeks before the election

Based on these, it's reasonable to conclude that something very fishy is going on.
I'd be very happy if you more closely integrated with tmux and used the features from tmux instead transparently. I don't care how the terminal does scrollback, as long as it does. If you forwarded the scrolling commands to tmux then great. Same thing with tabs, panes etc.

As much as I like tmux (although I exclusively use it via byobu), the single most annoying thing is that it won't let different viewers see different content. (eg start two terminal emulators, run tmux in both and any switching you do in one affects the other. There are supposedly elaborate workarounds, but far too much effort.)
