This may sound like hogwash to some but it has a lot of truth in it. Live for the moment, especially in your youth.

Many years ago (1999), I was working in L.A. for a fast-growing media startup. My job was okay but my social life was just miserable. It's tough to be a guy from a small town in Texas and be single in a place like Los Angeles. I lived in a shitty apartment in Pasadena and knew no one. I listed to Adam Carolla's Loveline radio show obsessively at night for comfort and that motivated me to go to a shrink. The guy listened to my story and then looked at me and said, "If you're miserable, why are you still here? Move to where you want to be." Two days later, I gave my employer notice and soon after, I was packing my things and moving back to Texas.

My point is, like the poster above says, forget about yesterday's negativity and the future's worry and start living in the present. Do what you need to make yourself motivated and happy again.
I remember that back in 1990 or so, here in Estonia, which was becoming independent from Soviet Union, my parents (a doctor and a historian) made about $20 per month in Western currency. That bought yo plenty of food and local produce, or anything locally made. Something imported was still just as much as it was in Western countries. Today the average monthly salary is about $1200.
Unfortunately, this is already the case. People do judge books by their cover.
A slightly funny thing is I emailed a friend to mention this newly organized approach but got Pinterest mixed up with pinboard and sent a link to that. I don't even know if people still use Pinterest. I remember I had an account for a little while and people pinned stuff to a wall but I didn't spend all that much time on it as that's not my thing.
Wait a month or so and then read it. You will see your own writing with fresh eyes.

Side note: not every reviewer is a good one.
The videos from many WWDC sessions are altered. So even if you got the right session it may not have this. I've been in sessions where much less interesting this have happened that haven't made it in to the video. Also last WWDC they started pre-recording sessions so they could be up on the web sooner. Many of the video sessions from last year don't have any audience noise and differ significantly from the live session.
Um, cite? I'd expect most wealthy Democrats aren't lobbying for lower taxes, because that's a Republican belief.

Famous billionaires who have spoken in favor of higher taxes include Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
My advice (which I'm sure some others will disagree with) is this:

Don't look to your job for any kind of fulfillment or satisfaction, unless your job is your own company and you're doing something you're passionate about. Otherwise, be a complete mercenary and treat your job as nothing more than a way to keep the rent paid, the lights on, and food on the table. Then find ways to achieve fulfillment or whatever it is you're looking for, outside of work.

Maybe that means volunteering at a soup kitchen, maybe it means working on a startup as a side project, or maybe it means playing video games every hour you're not at work. Whatever, it's up to you. The point is, take control of finding whatever meaning it is you want to find in life, and don't let it be all commingled with your job.

Ultimately you may decide you don't even want a "normal job" at all. Maybe you will decide to freelance. Maybe you're meant to be an entrepreneur and run some kind of business, or possibly multiple businesses. Maybe you want to go all Tim Ferris "four hour work week" and move to Thailand or something. One thing that will help you maintain maximum flexibility is to avoid things like a mortgage payment, car payment, etc. If you already have those things then you'll have to deal with them, but if you don't, consider not buying a new car, or a house, etc. until you have things figured out. It'll be easier to up and move, or make other dramatic changes without those encumbrances.

Some people will say to choose startups over a big MNC, but I find that startups can be worse in many ways (again, unless it's your own startup). Work hours may be more demanding, there may be more stress, etc... OTOH, if you accept my position about being very mercenary towards work, you can often find a boring position at a stodgy large company, where you can "punch the clock" for pretty much exactly 40 hours a week, do relatively boring / undemanding work, get paid a decent salary, and - most importantly - reserve as much of your energy (mental, psychic, spiritual, or whatever you want to call it) for your own initiatives outside of work.

How Nasty Gal Went from an $85M Company to Bankruptcy
I am actually starting to look into creating a batch workflow, which would be very suited for this (or SWF). However, I would like to know what the alternatives are that are non-amazon specific. Are there any open source projects that cover this space of defining workflows?
No one ever reads the article.

> It turns out the myths about tardigrades — how they’re indestructible — are true, under the right circumstances. “They go into cryptobiosis. They shed up to 90 percent of their body water, turn into a little grain of rice, and that is the thing that survives in space, and that’s what survives in ice cores for 300 years, and you add water and they revive. Cryptobiosis requires very narrow environmental ranges in order to begin,” said Feehan. But a sudden change in temperature? Lab-bred tardigrades are no match for that.
Evernote is cool but for some reason I have this block against using it. I'll occasionally remember I have it then quickly forget. It's weird.

This larder thing looks interesting but to avoid drowning in tools might have to bookmark it for later and hopefully will stumble on it again. Trello can also work for bookmarks if you're doing research on a defined topic I've found but for general bookmarking i tried it does not scale well so it's perfect for projects and perfect for saving some results of some searches focused on that project.
Forget if you're behind a school bus as I'd hope it would stop for any vehicle stopping in front of it. If you're on a normal rural highway (i.e. one with two but oppositely travelling lanes) and a school bus which is coming towards you makes a stop, you must stop so that any exiting kids can safely cross the street to their homes. What happens when a school bus makes a stop and the car decides to keep rolling through the bus's displayed and flashing red stop sign?
> The entire pbxproj format is horrible, but at least you have stuff like BUCK (https://buckbuild.com/) that can mitigate some of that.

FWIW I'm still not sure what the BUCK workflow is suppose to look like for most teams. It seems like if you use BUCK you're expected to not use Xcode even as an editor, yet there isn't another editor to pick up the slack (assuming you want autocompletion and decent highlighting). I think there's still a lot of work to be done for it to be a viable replacement, even for Objective-C, for Swift it's even further away.
If he gets to include RenTec in his bet then it's as close to a dead certainty as you can get that he'll win. I'd like to get in on that bet too.

Samsung  Galaxy J7 Full Review Price and Specifications
Okay enough people have mentioned pocket and I tested and dropped it that I think I'll make pocket my final test of the evening. I'd say I feel a sense of accomplishment that I organized insanely cluttered bookmarks on a Saturday night, despite how pathetic that might sound when I say it out loud. :-)
Great comments. I understand your comments on money, but I suspect other modern economies will fair the weather much better than the US. The US wealthy have diversified their wealth in physical assets, gold, foreign currencies, etc; things that have intrinsic value outside of the US. Not only that, they can continue to manufacture in foreign lands and sell to foreign markets. Capital is mobile, labor is not. What they almost certainly won't do is voluntarily give their wealth, without a fight, to combat mass unemployment. They will lobby hard against it (my original thought) or just leave the country.

The Great Depression saw a peak unemployment at around 25%. That took 10+ years, some arguably unconstitutional laws and a massive, global war effort (with destruction of many competing economies) to get out of. That was in a time period when both the political parties actually wanted to solve the problem. In the worst case scenario, with near complete automation and offshore labor, you'll be looking at around 75-90% unemployment in the US in a fairly rapid time period (10-20 years?). We've never seen anything like it; not that quickly.

I'd like to think we would figure out how to adapt, but we've had a serious political discussion about climate change for going on 10 years now, and the US has barely come around to agreeing it exists and is man caused (and I'm being generous) let alone an actionable plan to retard it, let alone reverse it. This denial and inaction is caused by the very same forces that will cause inertia when figuring out how to combat a US economy that can't support a fraction of the workforce.

We recently had the worst financial crisis since the great depression. Who got bailed out and who didn't? I understand why we needed to bail out the banks, but about the only thing the average homeowner got was weak refinancing laws that were abused by the wealthy banks! Furthermore, we haven't taken any serious measures to prevent it from happening again. What measures we did manage to take (Dodd-Frank) are constantly being picked away by those same forces.

We've had middle class wage stagnation for going on 30 years now and the electorate keeps voting for people who do things to perpetuate and accelerate that stagnation (both parties), thanks in part to misinformation and secrecy funded by those same forces.

As far as political shakeups, Occupy Wall Street did nothing. The Tea Party was absorbed then gradually extinguished by the GOP. The most recent political shakeup the US electorate could come up with was electing Trump. I don't have high hopes about him solving our upcoming economic problems either.

What we've been through in the last 10 or so years isn't even the scary part if my dire prediction comes to fruition. I don't think our political system is healthy enough to deal with what might be coming.

PS: This was a lot longer winded than I anticipated, so apologies if it reads all over the place.
I'm not enamoured of the man but pretending that he's some cocaine-sniffing master of the universe is not congruent to the truth. He's a successfully enormously cheap investor.
Giving money is a great short term solution but we all know that free always has a limit. 22 dollars per month is a good start but at 22 bux they will never reach the standard of living we enjoy in the west. The goal should be to ensure that everyone has a job or business that provides the person a decent living.

I think that in addition to the money they should help with the following:

1)Education and the ability to get it at will. Financial education should be a priority.
2)Entrepreneurship, make sure anyone that wants to start a business knows what to do.
3)Security and the enforcement of the law thru a judicial system, both criminal and civil.
4)A working financial system. Make sure businesses and people can borrow money.
5)A way to go bankrupt that will let people start over. It should not be too painful for both creditors and borrowers.
6)A political system that works for the majority.
7) Community leadership that works towards the betterment of the town.
8)A tax system that will let the town provide items that no single person can provide on their own. It's a reality as painful as they are taxes and their prudent use help improve the community's standard of living.
9) Secure property rights. If someone owns something they should do with it what they want without infringing on the community's well being and no one should be able to take it away from them by force.

What gets me railed up is the inability to use the town's human capital. Giving free money will not help forever. If you could get people to work together they would eventually get out of poverty. Maybe the current generation might not but eventually they would be able to do it.
FTA:

“With our overclocked 1800X sample cooled by the Noctua unit AMD provided in the reviewer’s kit we managed to surpass the 7700K in single threaded performance and the temperatures were great."

The 7700k might be a reasonable value choice for gaming today, but I have little doubt that the extra four cores of the 1800X will come into play quite soon.

Not so long ago, the same argument applied to dual vs quad core processors. Game developers didn't start optimising for four cores until there were a significant number of users with quad core processors.

We're also yet to see the performance of the hex-core and quad-core Ryzen parts. At $199, the 4c/8t 1400X could demolish the 7700k.
> I eat meat but do not like seeing anything suffer for purposes of amusement.

Far worse things happen to the animals you eat than ever happened to these critters in their aquarium.

I'm a meat-eater too, but I try to be honest with myself about it.
Fairly sure (though it likely depends on geographic location laws) that no matter your lane you need to stop if a bus displays its stop sign and lights, because, like you said, kids might try crossing the street at any time/place. So a self-driving car might be a lane or two away from the bus (not directly behind it) and still need to know to stop.
The Purpose of the Telescopes Is to Give Us Back the Galaxy
I think I have personally ran three or four red lights or stop signs accidentally in my 18 years or so of driving. The fact that a self-driving car running a red light makes the news is exciting to me. We will be much safer with computers driving.
What we need is for Android device manufacturers to agree on a standard mounting point to attach a single external module. Something like a rail or magnet on the back at a fixed position relative to the USB port so that we can securely attach a peripheral without having it fall off.

Really happy you like it. Would love to see something published using it
Like you point out, my everyday desktop is already not very secure. I use most of my high value accounts fairly frequently. So most of my accounts would be compromised regardless of what password scheme I use. Installing an open source password manager doesn't lower my security by much.

Previously I tried to memorize passwords. I ended up forgetting a lot. It was frustrating trying to remember what my password was, or even whether I had an account on the site or not. The user experience of being able to ctrl+f through all the accounts that I have in my database is very refreshing.

I have a quite high value video game account, and 6 people have specifically targeted me. They've attempted various things, such as trying to exploit password reuse, and utilizing previous website database breaches that I was in.
A lot of the "smaller guys" who benefit from this regulations are subsidiaries of the behemoths like AT&T and Comcast.
Oh, I beg to differ. Although airline websites are frequently awful, I always prefer to avoid a middleman if I can. There are things that can go wrong between an aggregator and the merchant. More than once in Brazil I've seen a guest arguing at the check-in counter of a hotel -- he's showing a printout of his payment through an aggregator and the hotel manager is saying that they never got the payment and that if he wants to stay, he'll have to pay again and take up the problem with the aggregator himself.
That's what I meant by "except for pathological cases". Existing memory allocators have the same problems with fragmentation.
Title is very click-baity. The concept is nothing new, very similar to the idea of a 'promoter' in Net Promoter Score (NPS).
Consider that if basic income isn't tied to a job, it makes it that much easier to move away from such places. (For example, look at all the retirees living in Florida.)
People don't give (or often even know) the real reasons they do things.

Steeped in a culture of sexism accusations, it's not surprising that you'd hear reports of sexism from women leaving the industry.

A man doing the exact same thing (and many men do leave tech) would say their boss was an asshole, or they hated the hours, or whatever. Women are prodded and trained to interpret exactly the same circumstances as sexism.

Of course this doesn't mean there isn't sexism. But it does mean that you can't just "figure out the reason that they left by asking them".
It's not an explanation, but the fact is that some places are very violent and some are not. I think there is considerable inertia there. The violence level will stay the same if nothing changes. Violence created violence. Peace creates peace.
How is the single core performance in real world beside benchmarks?

AMD mentions some AI technology to improve the perf. If one runs the same software many times, will the performance change? It could be good if it learns and improves the performance, but results might not be reproduce. Is it like the Pentium 4 with its long pipelines that ideally result in better performance but meant more misses?

Good that AMD has something in peto to compete with Intel again.
But what good is the minimum? Food that you grow and cook yourself, or fried chicken at McDonald's?

Shelter - at what size is the minimum? I remember US standards increased the size of the houses two-fold within the past 30 years (I might be mistaken, I can't find the source now).

Health care - does it include complex treatments?

Education - would signing up to Coursera classes be considered minimum, or a drop in the level of education?

Communication - I considered a broadband minimum for reasonable standard of life. Would 10 Mbt/second be guaranteed?
I do not think everyone shares this opinion what is minimum standard of life. When working with others, you would see disagreement over all aspects of it - and it will prove hard to come to an agreement how to define the exact minimum. Furthermore, it might become very hard if the resource you are distributing is referred as a 'free' one.
Okay, now I get why I still felt there was something missing. There's actually two problems and I lumped them together. There's the bookmark problem. I want to come back to HN. And there's the "save for later" problem this looks like a cool article but there's no time now.

* So I think Pinboard does a great job at the bookmark problem but either I'm just not used to it yet or it's not quite got the "read for later" problem solved.

* It seems as though pocket might be stronger at addressing the "read for later" problem. But now that I know the missing piece is called "read for later" it's just a matter of inserting that component into my personal app ecosystem and being more alert for those solutions as pinboard seems to nail the bookmark problem.

HN and citizens thereof: you rule! Like my bookmarks, I forget all about HN but always feel it's a good experience to visit here, maybe discuss a few things, occasionally post a question or something.
Yes - definitely.

I was just saying passwords because they're something that could have leaked which could be used to actively compromise accounts and result in further attacks now. And probably the only thing most sites can do anything about at this point.

Of course if you were sending private keys, api keys, etc over an SSL connection - those all now need to be treated as exposed.

Some sites may also have special concerns - btc-e for example, a fairly large bitcoin exchange allows users to withdraw to a "btc-e code" which can be deposited by another user of the site. It'd be a serious mess if any of that kind of thing leaked.
Double down and grind.
Waymo's cars do a pretty incredible job of detecting bikers (even erratic ones) - and even understands hand signals
Not really; I've got a multimillion dollar company started with personal savings.

And even leaving aside companies - it doesn't cost anything to contribute to FOSS projects.
That effectively has happened at me at work - I volunteered to become a lead engineer, and have been thrust mostly into management. It has been a very enlightening experience, as I no longer am solving the difficult technical problems on a day to day basis (I maybe will solve one abnormally difficult problem every week), but I am now judged on the productivity of my team - I dropped my coding to near zero and focused on the soft skills & using my technical ability to help craft approaches for my team members to get to a more consistent level of productivity.

While my outsized code productivity was decreased to near zero, my team is moving faster, which benefits the company over the long term, as well as me being able to gain the skill s needed to help mentor people in concrete fashion to become better engineers.
I can't wait for the day I get to search by IP address.
They're vehicles, sure, but not motor vehicles. Unless they have motors, anyway. And sure, "they have just as much right to the road as cars". But being right isn't much use if you're dead.

Only one CoreSimulator service can be running at a time because only one can be in control of the devices and the database. If you try to keep two versions of the tools open they'll keep killing each other's CoreSimulator or one will get stuck with the wrong incompatible version.

CoreSimulator is used during builds and for IB's accurate rendering feature. Instruments and Console open connections to CoreSimulator for various purposes. A lot of things can break.
While you are not incorrect in that consciousness stems, in part, from the interaction of various lobes/regions of the encephalon, consciousness as we perceive it subjectively (I realize this is a bit tenuous logically, but I am being both as accurate and precise as I can be) is a mixture of the world without and the world within our physical bodies.

I realize this is a little metaphysical, but the truth of consciousness is one that Penrose and many others refer to in a sense of entanglement, the sense that we are connected beings and that connection drives consciousness inasmuch as what we perceive, how we perceive it, and the reactions to that perception are all part of what Feynman describes extraordinarily well in his work regarding Q.E.D.

That is to say, and I'll try to use the most layman-esque terms I can while maintaining scientific integrity: what you know, what you perceive with your mind, is known because of how it is and how you are. The mental connection between those two things is very real. Here's a nice little "thought" experiment for you.

Take a walk somewhere. If you can, note what you are thinking in relationship to your memory of the things that you are observing (with all of your senses) in terms of their metaphorical juxtaposition and/or relationship. That metacognition is a good example of the entanglement that comprises our consciousness.

Therefore, the Claustrum (and I love that name, Santa Claus-esque, very apropos) is merely (ha) the network hub if the senses, but it does not direct consciousness. The interaction of the senses, the external (autonomous as it is and therefore unregulated by the Claustrum) world, and all of your memories, imagination, theorizing, etc, are what comprise your consciousness. Inordinately complex, yes, but nonetheless a definite phenomena that we can seek further to define, understand, and recognize as something we can model and learn more from as we meander our way to enlightenment.

If this seems a bit dense, or a bit abstract, it's because the knowledge is incredibly knew and has less grounding than even something as nascent as Dark Matter, Quantum Computing, or whether global temperatures are steadily on the rise.......
