Long story short: no.

Vanguard, which is the gold standard, almost exclusively operates in the USA. (even though it's registered as a UK company and based in the UK).

As far as I could find in the UK, the closest local equivalent is L&G (Legal and General).

In the rest of Europe, for the few countries I checked, there is nothing comparable whatsoever.
Whilst corporations are entities apart from their directors, I find this being twisted to mean they are people incredibly distasteful.
The hypothesis you're presenting not the most obvious, Because it requires discrediting existing and established science and starting over from "direct, personal observation of phenomena," as if humanity hadn't already been doing that for centuries, with the cumulative effort of that observation being precisely the process by which we arrived at the conclusions that modern science reaches.

The flat earth may once have been obvious to many people, but it would be absurd to expect anyone to approach any modern discussion about geology from a first principle that all hypotheses regarding the shape of the earth are equally valid, and require that the curvature of the earth be reproven with each discussion. Some hypotheses have evidence to support them, some don't, and there is good reason to assume that the hypotheses which have evidence are more true than those which don't.

Now, mind you, sometimes the hypothesis with evidence is proven false, because the nature of the evidence has been misunderstood. Miasma theory was proven false by germ theory. The luminiferous aether was proven false by quantum mechanics. The solid state universe was proven false by cosmic expansion. Plenty of accepted science has been proven false. Hell, people once believed the only reason the brain existed was to keep the skull nice and round.

But you have to prove the existing paradigm wrong before you assert that another is more correct.

> Sure, that would be great, but as a result of leaving, I have been blacklisted by HR from ever returning.

I personally know several people who have left & come back up.

If you left on bad terms, then of course any company wouldn't want you back.
Your argument technique seems to be to state disagreement with my point, and then just assert that I don't understand your point.

> they lack savings because they're poor and don't have excess income to save

And yet we're witnessing the creation of even more poor people (ie hand-to-mouth), in educated industries which have not been automated away yet. Salaries in those industries are keeping rough pace with the official CPI, so what gives?

> the problem which is the dwindling value of labor in an ever more automated world

Yes, we agree this is one of the fundamental problems here - I'm not "missing the point" as you keep insisting. I'm also saying that another fundamental problem is that fiscal discipline went out the window when USD disconnected from the gold standard, a slow acting moral hazard which is only being felt decades later. With technological and market progress, we would expect prices to be continually dropping (which would mean people would have to work less to survive), so any diagnosis must address this as well.

What you seem to be doing is taking the logical induction that led to the idea of BI for granted. And then refusing to follow the logical induction around other ideas. Of course BI is going to look like the solution if you refuse to consider that there could be other approaches.

> the entire point of BI is that everyone gets it to avoid the need to administer the program

As I said, this is an anti-feature to those who derive power from controlling such programs. This includes voters.
What hard problems are they solving that can't be solved with OSS today (tech problems)?

I've heard things about their business apps division (business problems) and I can't say I particularly believe in their future there versus smaller focused companies.
All of the processes you just described are antithetical to the processes I was referring to. Writing URL, design specs, etc is not the same thing is automated test generation, static analysis, and an API contract agreement. The thing you just described is exactly what I'm saying replaces all of the "on paper" crap that was taught as "software engineering" in schools as short as 4 years ago.

Basically, instead of innovating, or as the hip kids nowadays say, "pivoting", they just want to make easy money with stupid copyright claims and harmful tactics.

I find this strategy extremely toxic and malicious. Google may do a lot of stupid things, and people often make fun of their "don't be evil" motto, but let's be honest, the shit Oracle keeps pulling here over and over is the real definition of evil.

It's purely for profit and doesn't help in anyway to advance technology or humankind.

Agreed for the most part. There is Servo[0] which is Mozilla's playground for a Rust Browser. It's not really usable for day-to-day browsing, but it's a neat proof of concept. They are actively moving stuff from it into FF, and FF now requires rust to build. Google definitely cares a lot about security. It's great to see them embrace U2F so heavily, that even Chrome supports it out of the box. I'm not sure FF will ever become Rust-only, but if it did, it would take quite a while I think.

Show HN: Statement of Work (SOW) template – seeking feedback
A technology client wants me to create a Statement Of Work (SOW) and I've researched many dozens of options.

Here's the best I've found so far -- what advice do you all have to improve it?

https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/statement_of_work

Note: I'm working on related contracting agreements now, including a Master Services Agreement (MSA), Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), and Functional Specifications template. Advice much appreciated.
If that passes muster, the next argument we'll hear will be, "we bought this list of numbers from ATT, and your number is on the list, so our robocall to your number isn't really 'automated', per se."

NP. I do have a fair amount of relevant experience in the space: almost 14 years working for what is almost surely the highest volume seller of business cards online. ;)
Agreed, we were stuck using Oracle at my job and it's an pain to maintain. Their cloud solutions are awful and on-premises suffered greatly. Their database engine might be solid, but everything around it was terrible. Things like PL/SQL being an unruly mess, even things like auto-incrementing columns were missing until the most recent release (12c R1). Coupled with insane licensing (arbitrarily changing the core factor for licensing) and auditing (soft limits, lots of hand-waving). It serves them right that they'd be losing out to Postgres.
What does this mean in practice? Editors on Wikipedia are not a balanced cross-section of the world. I would guess they at 90% male, nerdy, middle class, and disproportionately liberal. This will be reflected in their articles, and the leeway given to certain 'facts'. And god help you if there is an article edited about you after you die - then the gloves are off and slander is fine.
Speaking as someone with good insight in enterprise NoSQL sales - vast majority of revenue is coming from Fortune 500s shifting off oracle systems.

Oracle customers have been very easy targets - solve the technical problem, and then give them sales people that care about their success and support people driven to solve any hurdles. I've been on the phone with ex-oracle DBAs crying from happiness, trying to explain how working with a support team that's genuinely there to help them get their job done has changed their professional lives. Those people become lifetime advocates and friends, making up a foundation that will keep the current NoSQL winners healthy businesses for a generation.
Thanks, that looks useful. But org-mode's built in "org-latex-export-to-pdf" worked well enough for me so far.
Vertical card layouts look cool, but they aren't very practical for people with longer names or surnames.

To me this design seems right if you're English or Chinese, but try using it with your Greek or Basque name, or with the Spanish tradition of double (maternal and paternal) surnames.
(in Spanish)
Seconded. This is the definitive guide.
Very nice and simple. Just what I was looking for, since firefox does not have a "make this url into a webapp" feature anymore.

Unfortunately, one of my use-case apps would not work correctly: https://chat.cloudron.io

Is there any way one can get to the web inspector, or at least dump the web console output to the terminal?
Google's Guava library, at least the parts I've seen, is incredibly well written and organized.

As someone in a similar age bracket as you (mid 20s vs 31) and making the money you want to be making, I have a few recommendations:

1. The scattered complaints you express seem to speak to a deep seated dissatisfaction with your life, your accomplishments and your personal identity. Without going so far as to make an armchair psychoanalysis on the internet, I'd suggest you learn what it is about the money that you think will make you happy. Does it evoke power for you? Control? Social success, or particularly success with the opposite sex? If you resolve your personal unhappiness now, you'll be happy regardless of your salary. If you don't, the money will not solve your problems. Whatever feels out of control in your life now, it is likely a personal hardship, not a financial one.

2. You don't need a master's degree. Unless you want to do something in research, or branch into an industry you're not already in, more education will not generally be a net win for increasing your salary.

3. You need to be willing to either learn a lucrative skill or get very close to revenue generation for a business. If you do that, you can make a convincing case for making the money you want. I understand that you feel burnt out, but realistically you have to be motivated to learn something new and invest in yourself in some way.

4. This might sound tone deaf, but once you make $300k in a year, it will cease to be "big bucks." Realize that you're making a significant amount of money already when compared with the median income of the United States. Pursuing money for its own sake when you are already doing well enough to live comfortably is not a sound plan for increasing your happiness. $300k is an arbitrary number. Think about what you want to do with that money.
> Is that just me, or are business cards going out of fashion in general?

Because you don't do business obviously.

When you go to events, business shows, networking events, conferences, hiring fair... you give business cards to your contact so they can remember who you are and contact you back. It is very important.

To change your status without notifying everyone, you first change the visibility of your relationship status to "Only Me" and save it, then change the status, then change visibility back to your preferred option. Sharing activities like this is kinda the main point of Facebook, so it's not surprising that is the default.
My last several apartments have all allowed me to pay my rent with a card. Which is nice, because it's been easy to hit the spend thresholds of premium cards and kick in all the good benefits.

Since I switched a while back from flying American to flying Delta, I looked into getting Delta's branded card, which is Amex... except my current apartment doesn't take Amex for rent payments. So I'd be unable to hit the thresholds to make the card pay for itself.
Second Redis. I don't even know C yet I find it surprisingly easy to follow.
Nope. Can't read QR code an android out of the box.

You need to get 1 out of 100 applications from the app store, that competes for the one who can shows the most ads and be the least effective at decoding the picture.

I got a hold of my old copy of the book and wanted to share an excerpt from the first page:

> Searching memory might be compared to throwing the beam of a strong light, from your hilltop campsite, back over the road you traveled by day. Only a few of the objects you passed are clearly illuminated; countless others are hidden behind them, screened from the rays. There is bound to be some vagueness and distortion in the distance. But memory has advantages that compensate for its failings. By eliminating detail, it clarifies the picture as a whole. Like an artist's brush it finds higher value in life’s essence than in its photographic intricacy.

I can flip to any page and find a sentence or two that I've underlined for being as well written as the page above.
How deliciously Nihilistic.
Brin wasn't the CEO, that was Eric Schmidt.
That sounds right. I was on a team leaking personnel managed by a manager who clearly wanted to be doing other things with his other team and who forgot I existed for the 3 out of the 4 months I was there until I reminded him I existed whereupon I was told I was failing to meet his expectations.

Upon complaining that it was unfair to judge me behind the curve when there had been zero feedback whatsoever up to that point, he then reported me to HR and offered to let me leave the team. There were two other potential teams making use of the technology for which I have expertise: one was new and it had zero openings at the time but which is now arguably one of the most prominent teams at Google and the other one's manager asked me one question "Where did you get your degree?" and didn't like my answer (I suspect) because it wasn't Stanford (desirable attributes for the position listed a Stanford degree) but I don't know for sure because he cut off communication at that point

And yes, in a perfect world I should have reminded my manager sooner of my existence but he was off on paternity leave as well with no one to run things in his absence so I really don't know the winning move here other than what I did: leave for one of Google's competitors where I spent the next 4.5 years or so focusing exclusively on the aforementioned technology.

If Google HR is dismissing the AUC of my entire career over 4 blind-allocated months at Google, that's asinine, but it would explain a lot and fit the facts. Thanks for the info.
How is Computer Modern much worse than, say, Times New Roman?
Right; I mean, I guess I could scan it to find out - but what is it, a link to OP's website?

What could it possibly be that's easier to convey through a QR code - especially given that it's on a bit of paper you can keep.
this is not secure; it will leak your ipv6 address by default. use openvpn's ipv6 features to route ipv6 traffic as well[0]. using openvpn ipv6 is a PITA on digitalocean because they only provide a /124, when openvpn requires at least a /112. you can get around this using ip6tables to route a /112 address range you don't actually have access to, and the only consequence will be a loopback if you try to access one of the digitalocean IPs you are claiming to have in your available pool while connected to the VPN.

also, 1024 dh prime is unsafe depending on your threat model[1]. use 2048 if nation states bother you, or 4096 if truly paranoid or at high risk / performance isn't an issue. no reason not to bump up the RSA keys too.

Yes I'm sure people moan about IT. They moan about Windows where I work. They probably moaned about the quality of the quills 100 years ago.

Libre office is perfectly capable for most users, and is very compatible with MS Office. It is easy for users to transition too.

I doubt any of this has anything to do with any of those points.

What I don't get is why people think that random VPS and VPN providers would somehow be better for your privacy than to let your ISP see the content of your traffic.

Even today, we don't care that much for people's stated preferences. They only matter if they don't conflict with something we regard as wrong, if the person is capable of informed consent, if it doesn't create excessive positive obligations on other people, et cetera.

But Calhoun would have claimed, as implied in the quote upthread, that slaves were essentially incapable of 'informed consent'; they were like children, slavery was better for them regardless of their stated preferences. Calhoun would have considered that as ridiculous as asking a child whether or not they liked their vegetables. Obviously, given our values today and our knowledge of biology, that's not only wrong in every sense but absurd. But when you grow up in a culture of normalized racial inequality, that's what you get.

Not only that, he would have pointed out that many slaves liked their position in life.

I only wish right and wrong were so simple.

Incidentally, one of the proximate causes of the Civil War, and one of the most persuasive voices for abolition was John Brown, who died a martyr after being hanged for taking up arms to free slaves. It was his dedication to the cause even up to the gallows that convinced many people of its rightness. His speech at his trial should be read by everyone.

Business Tip: ALWAYS use a white background on a business card (or at least, leave one side empty full white).

People will write and take notes on the card. Can't take note on a dark background.
>The web is one of the great stories of backwards compatibility

Are you serious? Flash is being dropped eventually, npapi plugins (especially wrt Java) are out, the blink tag is gone, Firefox extensions are being dropped for a worse system, breaking changes to JavaScript, the list goes on.
> why was one headline after the other all about characterizing unprovoked unilateral aggression?

That's hard to say, since you haven't provided any examples of it.
I strongly concur -- as a millennial who has been without adequate housing a few times, falling housing prices and rising housing supply (the latter tends to be a necessary condition for the former) is extremely good.

The only appstore that rapidly publishes apps is Google Play, which has a human-review process that takes place usually within hours.

The Amazon App Store routinely takes weeks, and often won't even process revenue or download data for long delays.

The iOS App Store can take up to weeks too.

This is how they work. How you mitigate crashes reaching production must account for how they work. For me that meant adding a QA process before publishing. Unit tests can also help.
In future people will say, "all one would have needed to do was ask the pigs and chickens whether they like being dinner..."

What do you think of the american intelligence agencies who say the same thing?
The other nice thing about Barclays is that as far as I know they're still the only issuer of credit cards to US customers which will actually do chip-and-PIN (as opposed to chip-and-signature on every other credit card in the US). Which means when you're traveling you can use that card at places which only do chip-and-PIN.
I don't disagree with this, but I also think that part of the interest in Hopfield networks and generalizing them to have stochastic outputs was because they seemed like a good model for how neurons might store memories or compute.
So will conventional surgery (or, as Dr. McCoy referred to it, "cutting and sewing people like garments").

Except to the kids that were refused from entering the class due to their gender. They were deprived of whatever the teacher and their would-be peers had to offer.
