As Big Data encroaches more and more into reality these decisions are going to be less relationship based and more AI based. The reason before it had to be relationship based was because computers didn't have visibility into the real world to make these decisions. However, with the advent of big data, their visibility is increasing.
How though is Google parsing your email and annotating Google Maps any different to simply showing you the email in your inbox? It's providing you alone with another way to read your own email.
This has been argued ad nauseam, but there absolutely are financial reasons to rent, especially in cheaper regions.

My yearly rent is twice what the property taxes alone would be on the condos across the street. I considered getting one of them, but after doing the numbers, it didn't make since. After interest, taxes, maintenance, and HOA fees, there's no way these people are coming out ahead until they've been there 10+ years.

It's all well-and-good that some of that is tax deductible, but the standard deduction on a couple is still more than taxes+interest on a 250k loan. So it really doesn't matter unless you have many more deductions.

Now go from the mid-west to a west coast boom city, and you'd be a fool not to buy.
You have a point with setting a precedent. Nagios' documentation uses the

replicates that, despite the fact that Nagios ignores whitespace.

Not all algorithmic trading is high-frequency where you need to shave microseconds to beat someone else's order. If you're predicting actual price movements instead of order book fluctuations there's no reason to use hardware.

I'm sure they exist but I can't imagine any project where I would want to factor in data loss from my database.

At the very least I'd want to know exactly how much data loss we are talking about, which is probably harder to answer than just using a platform that doesn't suffer data loss in the first place.
Almost smells like the ACA, doesn't it?

Edit: My apologies for sounding a bit antagonistic. The ACA is currently making use of high copays for that reason and more. It also hopes to force more transparency as well as most people want more than a icd-10 code when they have to write a check for $4k.

I know I've said some really harsh / mean things to people on football forums in the past. It was stuff that, to me, was clearly hyperbole and jesting between fans of opposing teams, but if somebody dug that stuff up and said "Look at what this guy said", I'm pretty sure it would have an impact.

Luckily, the one time I ran for public office, nobody was arsed to go looking. Or I got lucky and they didn't find that stuff and realize it was me.

These kind of products are nice-to-have and easily substituted by free alternatives, except for very narrow specific niches that need some of the more advanced functionality (in our case, music teachers). For the general user, these tools are also too tedious/involved to be sticky in the long run. Computer tools with nonlinear/nontrivial interaction only work in the professional space were you _have_ to deal with the complex UI to get your job done because there is no simpler substitute. But this is not the case for creative moodboarding etc: you can use paper, whiteboards, random drawing software. My point is, tools like these tend to be too shallow for professionals who would maybe pay (but they would need more pro, expensive/impossible to build features), and too complicated for the casual user who wouldn't pay anyway. "Prosumer" tools like these do not solve a big enough problem/pain to be viable in a meaningful financial way IMHO.
I talked about it in the interview. For this first version I used Kite for trading and mostly Intrinio for financial data. Costs vary from provider to provider, but for testing this, I went with some of the least expensive ones.

What would be a useful dual? "Who's shutting down"? I want to know:

1) A high-level overview of companies I've kind of heard about that didn't work out for whatever reason, or are have hit big roadblocks. That's useful information.

2) Where to find people to actively reach out to, if there's a big group of people leaving there are good people looking for jobs. A lot of teams get formed from the ashes of other teams.

Yeah, I'm not sure what credence to give to "the literature" they cite.

Just speaking for me personally, I was musing on it long ago [0] and I'd like to suggest three starting points:

1. Trolling always means the user is, in some way, not sincere or not honest in their interactions.

2. Trolling is always about triggering or goading victims into a reaction.

3. Trolling is not the same as humor, trolling can incorporate humor, but only in a "mean-spirited" way.

Absolutely, but isn't this type of software generally used to augment existing jobs, rather than replace them? The program can make basic inferences like "10 negative GE articles -> Sell GE stock", but you still need a human to make more general decisions about an industry as a whole, related companies, how long-term an issue is, etc. Basically, nobody's job is as simple as reading the news and deciding whether articles are positive or negative. In the case of this Goldman Sachs story, some people's jobs really were as simple as looking at the performance of equities and making decisions based on that alone.
Most banks of CC companies will also be charging you similar rates, unfortunately.

Because init scripts are being used in such a strange and non-rigorous way (configuration and operation combined in single files, with execution order implied by the name of each file), I don't think it's fair to draw such a direct parallel to the more formal languages used today for programming.
Something has changed recently because it seems almost everything is electronic now.

A few years ago I even subscribed to get all my test results online; I avoided an unnecessary doctor's appointment because I could see the results myself.

Good news to hear!
We just finished a fairly big IoT project where we needed to ship a replicated database which was fast, easy to deploy and reliable. We tried other DBs but none was so stable to be shipped with a standalone application completely black boxed to the customer. I was septic in the beginning but after 800 installations in 2 month we have no complains. Also not from early adopters which run now for appr. a year.
The original chart makes it look like manifucturing jobs doubled from 1950 to 1980 and then fell by 90%.

Your complaint is that the zero'd axis makes it look like 1950 and 2010 aren't actually that much different seems weird to me, because the actual data seems to be that they aren't that different, and showing that is correct (rather than incorrectly hugely magnifying the differences)

>Presumably, people are more likely to act grouchy when tired. Might also be because of time zones though. I mean, maybe trolls like staying up to late to argue with people on the other side of the world?

I think it's because people who don't have better things to do with their time tend to be up more often at those times. Conversely, people with a professional 9-5 job are less likely to troll and less likely to be up at 2am.
The problem is understanding data. A human can learn a new word's meaning by reading its definition in a dictionary; a computer can't.

To be honest, I had this idea in mind for a long time and I thought a lot about it before I actually built it. Therefore there is certainly motivation coming from the challenge of creating this and in some ways I think the profit and challenge factors are somehow correlated.
not to criticize you, but this seems to have no logic - "My bot holds a single position from seconds to minutes (sometimes even hours), which makes it more of an automated trader than a high frequency trader" - so your initial investment was less than 25K$,meaning you would be tagged has Pattern Daily Trader with account freeze for 90 days - how does your Algorithm even work with that kind of investment ?

That is not a very precise way of describing the uniformity of hash functions, and it's not actually true. For example, if my input has some element with 50% probability, then the hashed output is going to have some element with at least 50% probability.

But this is well-known, and because it's well-known, no sane cryptographic system cares that hash outputs leak information that way. For example, look at PBKDF2, HMAC, or various asymmetric key authentication schemes.

CVC: An Open Source Industrial Strength Verilog Simulator
The ACA mandated that anyone employing someone more than 30 hours per week must provide them with health insurance (small businesses excepted). This led to businesses cutting hours and eliminating jobs.
I've never laughed so hard at a bug list. It's hilarious, and that's only the first glance at the open issues.
Indeed, there is no antivirus that would sit on our arm (or within our ear) and whisper "don't do this, it's risky" ;-) In my brain it's paranoia and sometimes it goes too far, but I'm gatekeeper so I must be a bit... paranoid.
This is not true, Go "keeps working" on Windows because on Windows Go is ABI compliant and uses stable interfaces. In particular, on Windows Go interacts with the system through kernel32.dll and uses the standard Windows ABI.

Same is true for Solaris, where Go interacts with the system only through libc.so.1, and uses the System V ABI for the calling convention and thread-local storage.

On Linux the system call interface is stable (unlike Windows and Solaris), so on Linux Go "keeps working" too (albeit I will note that we don't use an ABI-compliant method for determining the current time...).

Darwin is just like Windows and Solaris, and unlike Linux. The system call interface is not stable, but unlike Windows and Solaris we use it anyway, and the method we use for thread-local storage is unportable and system-dependent. However, Darwin still has a stable interface through its own libc, and there's an ABI-compatible method to do thread-local storage as well. If Go would use the standard system interfaces on Darwin (like it does on Windows and Solaris), Go would just "keep working" on Darwin too and would not require changes each time a new macOS release is made.

It is true that Microsoft is very committed to forward and backwards compatibility, but only for its stable and documented interfaces (which Go uses), undocumented interfaces break all the time; Darwin's forward and backwards compatibility guarantees might not be as strong as Microsoft's over large periods of time, but they are still pretty good as long as you use the supported interfaces.

Not yet.
For the most part, because people don't answer multi-page surveys. :) We know that the number of respondents is only a fraction of the total number of users on any of the platforms where the survey was posted (Slack, reddit, mailing list, web sites, etc). 2015 was the first year we had an active Slack community (and it broke to HN that year for a bit) and that drove some increases. I would caution against trying to draw any hard conclusions just from the number of respondents.
Definitely - not there very often but will keep in mind!
Definitely. Trick is keeping things running smoothly during news cycles and off, but there's been a lot more interest the past few months around a number of topics.
From the article

The traders sound fancy but werent much more than call center staff, receiving orders by telephone and writing paper tickets. They weren't prop traders.
It boots nothing to subsidize that which is in restricted supply. So long as there are only 350 othodontists allowed to graduate per year, there's a corresponding limit on how many patients are allowed to have straight teeth regardless of who pays for what or what software is used. Improve the software, and the price of orthodontia must still equalize demand to the limited supply.

Offer free dollar bills, and a line will form until the cost of staying in line burns more than $1. Medicine isn't costly because it's inefficient, rather it can end up inefficient because the limited supply means it must somehow end up costly.

It is not possible to solve the healthcare crisis without somewhat deregulating the supply of healthcare and allowing it to increase. Until then, every subsidy just raises the price, and every efficiency improvement just creates room for more inefficiency elsewhere.

You can't solve the housing problem in San Francisco by building more efficient software for selling houses. Only interventions that somehow increase the total supply of living space can cause more total people to be able to live there.

You'll find that political, religious, and any other extreme group is an easy target, in direct proportion to their sincerity. It's not like it's hard to target Alex Jones' followers... Lady Gaga did it without even trying. Any group of passionate people is usually easy to get a rise out of.

Even non-OECD nations have excellent, universal health care. For example, see Taiwan: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=8965191....

I said that I would only use it for a toy project. Or at least a project for whose requirements resulted in MongoDB being a good choice. For example a content site where losing some data doesn't matter and whose hot datasets would never expand above the memory available by my budget.

Given the projects I chose to work on, MongoDB would be a bad choice. So I would only use it for a toy project right now. In 3-5 years time I expect that it will be a very good choice, given that they've pretty much won and can hire all of the good engineering talent.

The parallels with MySQL are really astounding; I just hope that they don't end up being sold to Oracle or Microsoft.
How do you pay for the mojito? Society has been conditioned to the idea that "if you work, you get stuff". In fact the current system is rigged to ensure that, so if jobs go away instead of mojito, you get nothing, and instead of hobbies you get to beg.

I'd love nothing more than a post-scarcity world where everyone get enough to live on, and people who do more get more. However there are X things that will stop that:

1. We have the resource to do this for everyone, but it means some people will have to reduce their quality of life

2. People like to work, they need to have meaning - some people will find hobbies, but some people just aren't creative thinkers and need some direction from society or otherwise. Here is education and basic wage, now go away won't suit everyone

3. It means the people at the top end need to sacrifice some. That isn't going to happen.
The free market argument goes that informed consumers will chose healthcare services, and thus will either drive up quality, or drive down prices.

The problem is that the customers cannot see the prices, and thus can't negotiate before hand. This isn't just for emergency care, but for stuff that shouldn't be too hard to get pricing for. There's a nice Vice(?) video about a couple having a baby. They find it impossible to get even an indication of cost before hand.

This patient choice stuff made its way to England, and frankly it's dumb. People don't change their utility suppliers even though they'd save large amounts of cash. They don't change their GP unless they've moved house; they don't have enough information to make an informed choice of hospital if they need to go for surgery. It's a lot of bureaucracy that has very little benefit.
At what point should society decide that robots have provided sufficient work that people should have the choice to work or not? This is why Universal Basic Income needs to become a mainstream concept ASAP.
Politics doesn't get flagged because people on general love to fight about it. We love to humiliate, mock, gotcha, and insult the adversaries, and banning them deprives us of that pleasure.
I have played modded Minecraft. They are different games, even though there's definitely inspiration and similarities. There's no real point holding them against each other.

I will say that Factorio is far more moddable than Minecraft as well, and actually has a built-in mod browser. Mods are first class citizens and the community has done great stuff with it just like it has in Minecraft.
This one that was posted here recently seems to be pointing in the right direction.
