Seconded. I have an MP3 library of about 1000 ripped CD's, and also I occasionally buy MP3's on Bandcamp. A lot of this music is obscure and not available on any streaming service, and when it is, often it's a remastered/reissued/weird version I don't want. I care about getting the original CD master when possible because usually the "24-BIT DIGITAL REMASTERS" that Spotify have are ruined in terms of dynamic range.

So for me, Spotify is a hot mess with regards to what is there and what is not and what versions of the albums are available. Also, it wastes bandwidth which is a luxury for me (I live in the countryside and have only a 4G connection with a 100G data cap) and the kicker: it rips off artists by paying out rounding errors -- for most artists, orders of magnitudes less than they used to make from the conventional record industry, which itself was a total ripoff.

So when possible, I buy CD's directly from the artist/label and rip them, or I buy MP3's from Bandcamp. Then I play them in WinAmp.

At that time yes, but the point was being too close to peak generation is cause for concern, so having an overhead is a good thing and hard to predict in the timescales it takes to approve and build a power plant.
I'm very dubious about the first source you posted. It claims vehicles consume 15-20% less fuel when travelling on concrete compared to asphalt. That statistic doesn't pass a basic sniff test in my opinion.

GANs are a general tool -- they just happen to get a lot of attention for generating images of stuff. Here's an example for generating sequences [1]. The example is language oriented, but ultimately GANs are interesting because you can use them to build a generator for an arbitrary data distribution. This can have many applications in engineering (to take a random example -- generating plausible looking chemical structures under a certain set of constraints). As with any ML application, you need to quantify your tolerance for "inaccuracy" (in a generative setting, how well the generated distribution matches the true data distribution). This is simply an engineering trade-off and will vary based on the application.

Don't know about Gigster but the first step of Toptal's vetting process is about solving algorithmic puzzles. That's probably inevitable because they need something that scales. However it's so different from what developers do at work that its relationship to quality is very weak. Actually, it could be negatively related because I would have excelled at those puzzles at university, exactly when I didn't have the expertise to write good software. And the one or two of times per year when I have to solve a puzzle I take my time and solve it. Maybe slower but the rest of my work is so much better that it more than makes up for that.

Want a better vetting quality? Look at previous work and read code. It doesn't scale unless you put more people at that but maybe somebody can think about an AI for that.

KX is a leader in what it does but it doesn't really fit the canonical IoT use case, either from a workload or analytics perspective. The challenge is that IoT isn't just temporal, most of the interesting relationships are spatial as well since you are analyzing relationships across sensor and telemetry streams, and the analytics are real-time mixed workloads with ridiculous working set sizes. It isn't their market. They rock the time-series market though.

A good example of an IoT data analytics problem is analyzing a petabyte of drone sensor data, which on a large drone amounts to a few flights worth. Typical raw sources tend to be some combination of hyper-spectral imaging/video and LIDAR. Or RF probability functions e.g. mobile. Or a combination of all of the above because you are fusing multiple sources to reduce the uncertainty for your analysis.

FWIW, the "tens of trillions" of IoT records I mentioned was a real-world example from one of the most famous financial companies. It was a spatial analytic on a polygon model, and a classic IoT data model. If KX solved that particular analysis problem, they would have used it.

Nice - ideal use of flame graphs. When you are running out of disk space, you want to know which parts are using what proportion of disk space and IMHO this visualization is perfect for that. Kudos!

On a side note, when I'm on a server with disk space problems, I usually debug it like this:

# cd /
# du -sm | sort -n | tail
(lists the biggest space users)
# cd <unusually big subdir>
(goto step 2: du -sm...)

Works like charm, but can be a bit slow when applied to large and slow disks.
>As far as I can see, it would just create jobs that Americans won't or can't do.

I see this stated often, largely by people who have never worked these types of jobs, and for the record I'm not saying that this is the case with you, but it really doesn't match my own experiences.

I've worked as a janitor in a super market, a landscaper, a manual laborer in construction, a laborer in the Central Valley on a farm, as well as a dishwasher, all in CA, and while my coworkers were mostly Hispanic, and some were undocumented, many were white, black or Asian and born in the US. These were all minimum wage or below jobs so I'm not sure were this idea is coming from. When people are poor and desperate, they will usually take any work they can get regardless of immigration status or citizenship.

Or maybe it should just be 10% like a normal state would have?

> Dockable Phone to PC

Microsoft has done this already but thanks to their poor marketing and crappy Windows phones, no one even knows about it.
In my initial comment I mixed up two things into one. Let me clarify.

Adaptive content:
What you see is based on your previous usage of the app/site and not generalized what everyone is looking at. Pretty common...
- Amazon suggestions, Google results, Facebook stream or even your auto-correct suggestions of your phone keyboard.

Adaptive Interfaces:
Where the actual controls, tools, menus change in favor of your usage behaviour, or desired behaviour of "users like you".

(Its not quite clear if this actually helps or harms the UX because the UI could change without the user understanding why an menu item is not available anymore where it used to be)

- I am blank on real-world example "software" here
- But web/landingpage optimization tools like optimizely use predefined rules to change anything on the UI, (like showing a CTA button or a video, hiding a menu, etc.) where others like dynamicyield move into the direction of AI-automating that test-generation and decision making in favor of a single metric (CTR / Conversion / etc.)

In the end you could argue that every real-world application is only using "adaptive content" and not actual "adaptive UI".

As long as we're using capitalism to explain what is happening, then by all means let's use more capitalism in the US housing market.

1. Remove all government sponsorship of mortgages, gradually spool off all existing GSE mortgages into private markets. Possible exception: owner-occupied homes, limit one per

2. Remove all implicit government backing of insurers and re-insurers of anything having to do with mortgages.

3. Remove mortgage interest deduction.

4. Valuations reported to IRS, property insurers, permitting offices and bank loans link back to publicly-available property tax records.

5. Property developers, not taxpayers, pay for initial costs to extend infrastructure, foot the bill for floating the bonds to maintain the extensions, and residents moving in must pay into the bond fund over time, gradually paying off the initial buyers of the bond; bonds are reissued as old bonds mature.

6. Bill back costs of developing (up to inner core density, with adjustments to purchase fast public transport into inner core) further out from urban core back to inner core residents as increased property taxes spread over 7 years, if inner core residents vote down densification, and rebate some of the collected funds to developers of outer core.

7. Standardize all government building codes to a single set, specifying function/intent/goal and not form, thereby allowing offshore for example factory-built modules to access a contiguous national market, or alternative construction techniques without lengthy permitting.

These and other measures that open up competition for real estate development would be wildly politically unpopular in most areas and constituencies of the US. The US real estate market is superficially capitalist for a number of very interconnected reasons, and I've observed similar dynamics in other nations I've enquired about property within. Property is an extremely special-case asset, with privileged market protections/distortions few other asset categories enjoy.

It's slippery slope territory to start putting employees in a debt situation. Even if there is a cap on the fee, say the paid fee plus a max $50 admin fee, many companies will claim ignorance, start charging more than the $50 fee, then call in a debt collection agency, pile on interest and more fees, then campaign for a rule change, then claim ignorance of the law and so on and so forth. And for people who are often vulnerable and in a foreign country who aren't aware of the rules/laws and have no representation. It's a slippery slope best avoided.

I vastly prefer concrete, especially on the expressway, even up here in Chicago. The road isn't as smooth but... that's because it's usually ten or twenty years older than our most beat up asphalt roads. One of our expressways up here, I-355, used to be concrete, and sure, it wasn't as smooth, it was noisier. But there was never construction on it, because the road really never required heavy maintenance.

Since they replaced large sections of it with asphalt, it's under construction every single year.
Didn't see it either, my guess is they aired it only local market somewhere.
I just tried to set something up on DigitalOcean. It's a small website with some PHP (already written), but I'd like the possibility of expanding it with Node later. So I rented a VPS, but setting everything up is such a pain, with all that SSHing and process management and Linux permissions and everything.

Something that allowed me to just throw my site up with the ease of a common shared web host, but also allowed me to do Node with sane permissions etc., would be great.

However, it occurs to me this probably exists, and I just don't know about it.

Maybe that's the untapped opportunity - connecting people with the services that suit them?
We use DC/OS for all our stateless services, when we started looking at container orchestrators the bootstrap for DC/OS was very easy (automatic via cloudformation) and it was quite complicated for kubernetes.

> Fixing work culture to support remote work better is likely the key instead of tech and tools.

To take it even further, is work culture even broken? It seems to me like there's already quite a lot of remote work (at least in tech) for those who make it a top priority. I wonder if the fact that it isn't the default is because most people would rather not work that way? Aside from the obvious social benefit of face to face contact with your coworkers, I find the second order effects very valuable as well - the energy in the office helps keep my excitement about the projects we're working on so I enjoy my work more (and conversely the shared commiseration when the company hits a pitfall is nice too).

Plus the scalability of remote work is dependent on living somewhere where a lot fewer people want to live - if you live in, say, Manhattan and work remotely for an SF company, you're still taking up housing someone at a NY company could be living in. Some people value being near family or nature or something above all else, but generally (by definition) most people want to live where a lot of other people want to live.

So I wonder if the underlying solution is improving cities - something like the city project YC is running, or beating the NIMBYs in places like SF so the city can actually grow to support the startups it has and more, or maybe improving transit so people from further out can commute at least some of the time into cities, etc.
We mainly use Docker because it finally allows us to eradicate all the "Worked in dev" issues we had in the past. From an application perspective, Dev, Accept and Prod are identical.

Also, we deploy to production at least 4 times a day, the time from commit to deployable to production is about 30 minutes. And because it is a container it will start with a clean, documented setup (Dockerfile) every time. There is no possibility of manual additions, fixes or handholding.

Can anyone recommend a tool for macOS that monitors disk usage changes over time?

I usually use Disk Inventory X but I'd really like to correlate usage increases to specific dates / app installs, so it'd be nice to see stats over time, e.g:

- Installed Android Studio on Feb 1st: Usage in /Applications increased by 850MB, usage in User folder increased by 10G (450MB for android-studio-2.x.dmg, 8.4GB in /Users/name/.android, largest leaf in /Users/name/.android/sdk etc)
