That is a huge problem with our justice system - the arrest and prosecution almost renders the actual outcome moot because of the damage that the mere accusation carries with it. This man was a doctor, and he will live under a cloud of suspicion for the rest of his life - undoubtedly affecting his professional and personal life. I would guess that very close to 100% of patients Google their doctor's name, and guess what will come up even a decade from now? These articles. If he has kids, all their friends and their parents will know, which will affect their social lives. And most people won't actually read the articles - they'll read headlines and walk away with the impression that he was accused and got off on a technicality (assuming the case is dismissed).

For all of this, he won't even receive an apology, much less any compensation from the government. True "justice" in this case would be for him to be able to sue the FBI agent that mischaracterized the image as porn to get the arrest warrant (she later testified that it was not, which should kill the case right there), Best Buy for conducting illegal surveillance, and the government for wrongful prosecution. However, all of those cases are long shots. The most likely outcome is yet another example of the extreme injustices perpetrated by law enforcement agencies against innocent US citizens on a daily basis. The worst part is that the catalyst of most of these injustices is money - individual law enforcement agents wanting to advance their government careers or pad their resumes to get better paying jobs in the private sector. The whole thing is disgusting.

When I worked at a big computer chain in the 90s, my coworkers would sacrifice their left pinky for a $21 spiff for moving a Viewsonic monitor.

$500 would be a crazy motivator, especially for the ex-military types who were drifting around after the service.

No.

"These are people who claim the ability to function in the world, yet they don't know the most basic things about the world they claim the ability to function in."

I have no idea where you see them 'claim to be able to function in the world'. They didn't make that claim, they are just people doing the best they can in the world. Yes, they clearly don't know how to deal with a drug addicted daughter, but we all have things that we don't know how to deal with. You might know how to deal with addiction, so you find it incredulous that these parents don't. I am sure, however, there is some situation that you don't know how to deal with, and there are certainly some people who would find it incredulous that you don't know how to deal with that part.

When people talk about these things, they usually assume something like the transdichotomous model (machine word size is unknown, n fits in a machine word, arithmetic on machine words is O(1)). It gives the right complexities for everyday algorithms.
Wiktionary's definition of "bookwork" is accurate: "The act of memorising information; used attributively to describe or denote questions that test information learned rather than requiring additional thought." It notes that the definition is "chiefly University of Cambridge", which I didn't realise. Perhaps it is indeed a physics/maths thing.

ITYM Clonidine[1]. There's also Lofexidine[2] which is available on prescription in the UK, but seems largely unknown elsewhere. From personal experience (quitting long-term morphine treatment due to intolerable side effects), it was extremely helpful in moderating some of the physical withdrawal symptoms.

Your last sentence is correct, I made a mistake.
The rest of what you said kind of supplements my post.
One evening of self-medication was enough for to me, a formerly non-opiate addicted person, to experience extremely unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. In a person not particularly susceptible to addiction. Your eagerness to debate me about whether I was addicted mirrors the behavior of those nurses.
I think that if you do open other data centers you should charge extra for that in your pricing, optionally. While there could be negative marketing implications depending on the exact cost or how it's worded, I don't think it's an unreasonable approach. Since not everyone needs the diversity and it would make more sense (because it assumes your costs will go up) to not make all customers pay for something that they don't need because they have other plan b's. You might already be the plan c for some of your customers.

> We would never recommend that you should ONLY keep your backup in Backblaze

I am guessing (I haven't thoroughly checked so I could be wrong) that your marketing materials don't make this fact known in an obvious way. No issue with that but I think many non business users might not think of it this way.
This is a great example of why these issues are complex.

There's some argument that when you store things in a cloud provider or mailbox that the service is an extension of you.

But if you hand over a file cabinet full of papers to someone and give them the key so they can fix the drawers, that's a different situation. The PC in a repair shop in analogous.
I second this. I always start my service for free, and tell them at some point I'm going to charge pricing, but the first 100 users don't have to pay EVER.

After I get ~50 - ~300 users, I tell them I'm going to set pricing. I usually do this with a pop up or email. They then have a drop down with "how much would you be willing to pay monthly for this service"

Usually you get some range, say $5/month to $100/month. I usually pick one standard deviation above the average. So in this case, let's call that $60/month.

Then, I usually will A/B test pricing by changing it month by month with "sales" so my current customers don't get too angry.

I've done this three times on my products and several times for others. Thus far, it's worked very well. You don't always want to capture the most customers to make the most profit. This method has you start at the top of what people would be willing to pay and work down.

Plus, you start with a user base for free that share you with their friends. Seriously, this has been the best way to jump start the business.
>>the speed of causality in the universe?

I'm not sure it matters as long as space-time in one section is independent from another section. Maybe? Of course, I don't really know what I'm talking about since I'm not a Physicist.

It wasn't until I learned about conservation of energy and bandwidth that I understood the error of my ways. Point is, my ignorance is probably taking me astray.

I never understood how people could be addicted to drugs until the middle of the night screaming in an emergency room bed. A kidney stone was causing so much pain morphine wouldn't touch it. Unbearable.

The nurse came in and put something in my IV and I just stopped. The pain stopped. I stopped talking to my wife in mid-sentence. Everything was fine. My world just stopped and I liked it.

As the nurse left my wife asked what I was given and it was dilaudid, which is equal to heroin on the equianalgesic scale.

It was right then I understood how people become addicted to drugs. Like you, it convinced me to never try heroin or any other opiates outside of emergency medical care.
Given that 60-70% of healthcare is already provided by the government (depending what state you're in) from programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, ACA subsidies, the VA, and federal employee health plans, it'd be hard to imagine a feee market existing.

Layer the regulations at every level of providing healthcare, and it's very hard to imagine any health related transaction happening without government approval.

When Google Maps/Earth came out I remember distinctly an immediate sense of completion at the ability to explore everything instantly.

This is it, this is all of the things. The whole world right there explored and surveyed and mapped and labeled and catalogued and borders drawn. There's no mysterious potion shop whose location is whispered and forgotten in time, no unknown shipwreck full of treasure on an unreachable beach, no secret dark alley hidden through a hedge that leads to Hogwarts. No Hogwarts at all, we've already looked everywhere for it.

You can just get on your pocket computer from the couch and pull up the picture of it taken on June 5th with the reflection of the Google mapping car in the window and littered with discarded Starbucks cups and some blurred out licence plates.

You always need to consult an attorney on this.

Some professions are mandated to report any suspicion of child abuse. In NY, any teacher, medical provider and others can lose their license for failure to report.

Your general obligation, or obligation as an IT guy may vary... and you may have liability risk.

Personally, I'd consider it an ethical duty to report such a thing. But I wouldn't do so in an official capacity without advice of counsel.
The problem with whishing for socialism in a divided democracy is that the owners will align with any dictator available to keep what they gained.

I was excited to see a write up on Nomad. I wish it got more attention. I have a question that maybe someone could answer. The author states:

>"Despite its relative immaturity, there are a few things I really like about it"

Can anyone elaborate on what that immaturity consists of at the moment?

Doesn't Nomad largely leverage Consul for resource discovery and the remote exec API, Consul being pretty mature.

well you don't know how much he lost. It could have been say $1000. Evidentally, the contract was designed to trigger a closure of the position when it dropped out. At a 50x short, an "investment" of $1000 would have yielded $10k on today's turn of events.

For anything to do with children, quite a few professions are mandated reporters including LEOs, all public and private school personnel except volunteers, social workers, and several other rather large fields. Depending on the state that list expands considerably. Even the clergy of religious institutions are included in 27 states, superceding confidentiality.

Other than LEOs, mandated reporting for general crimes depends largely on state laws except for fiduciary duties.

I think most of the problems here is that Microsoft has it's fancy new UWP executable which they're pushing like crazy, while Apple still hasn't found any major issues with .app which would mandate the sort of architectural rebuild requires to add these features in.

Objectively, if it's true that women need to perform much better than men to get promoted, then being a woman who struggles with the material in a male dominated field would suck, and maybe you did her a favor.

I think the cycle can be broken if current practitioners can find young women who are willing to work extra hard (harder than their male peers) and give those women as much tutoring as they can handle (I certainly can't study for a full day, and I guess this plan requires studying overtime) so they can ace tests/projects, advance in the industry, change norms and people's expectations from women and make it easier for the next generation of women. There will be accusations of favoritism but as long as it's clear that they succeed because they worked hard and did the work themselves and not because they were helped, the accusations shouldn't get anywhere. Basically, I'm against favoring women over more qualified (or even as-qualified) men, but helping women become the most qualified candidate is definitely fair game.
Well, nikcub isn't actually wrong. The CBA is the contract that dictates the relations between the league and the players association. It sets terms for the league, the salary cap, and the even procedures regarding the draft.

As far the cap goes, there are two caps: the soft cap and the hard cap. The soft cap is what you're probably referring to. The soft cap is usually broken all the time, as teams use it to retain players and whatnot. Think of 'Bird rights'.

The hard cap is what I imagine nikcub was referring to. A hard cap cannot be exceeded for any reason. Even in a sign-and-trade, since I think 2013, you'd have to waive a player to be below the cap, or make sure payroll is below the hard cap in the end.

In the context of nikcub's comment, I think he was referring to the hard cap.
That makes sense - high adrenaline causing extremely high resolution for memory write, but later the playback speed on a read is the same, so it seems slower when really it's just more detailed / takes up more tape.

Judges are people. The intent of attorney-client privilege is clear. The intent of such a service would be similarly apparent.
Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to use currency as a store of value. The unwavering stability of the almighty US Dollar is a massive historical outlier. For most of history the wealthy didn't keep Scrooge McDuckian piles of cash around, they converted their cash into hard goods and investments like loans, which won't evaporate if hyperinflation occurs. Even today, the smart thing to do is to store most of your value in liquid and semi-liquid assets.
> The next step seems to be to create a regulated market - anyone know what that means, or whether there is something inherent to Bitcoin that doesn't allow it?

It means commodity exchanges dealing in Bitcoin regulated by the CFTC or similar entities in other jurisdictions. There are some already, but they do a very small share of Bitcoin volume.

That's money transmitter stuff, which is a different set of regulatory requirements.

"Built in collaboration with our ODM partner QCT (Quanta Cloud Technology), the current Big Basin system features eight NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU accelerators. These GPUs are connected using NVIDIA NVLink to form an eight-GPU hybrid cube mesh — similar to the architecture used by NVIDIA's DGX-1 system. This setup, combined with the NVIDIA Deep Learning SDK, utilizes this new architecture and interconnects to improve deep learning training across all GPUs.

Compared with Big Sur, Big Basin will bring us much better gain on performance per watt, benefiting from single-precision floating-point arithmetic per GPU increasing from 7 teraflops to 10.6 teraflops. Half-precision will also be introduced with this new architecture to further improve throughput."

Nomad dev here. Great post! Hopefully I can provide some insights:

> 1. Templated job files.

While parameterized jobs[0] are a step toward templated jobs, they unfortunately don't address your use case. We'll be adding `-var` options to `run` in 0.7 to allow templating normal jobs like you can template jobs.

In the meantime I think what you're doing is pretty good and should integrate well into a CI/CD pipeline for automating deploys of new builds.

You could consider a specialized templating tool instead of sed like m4, a jinja-based tool like j2cli, or even consul-template.

A number of users also bypass `nomad run ...` and run jobs through our HTTP API instead.[1] While this takes more code, it's easiest to build into existing deployment tooling (CI/CD, chatops, chef, etc) and obviously allows easy manipulation.

> 2. Better documentation.

Absolutely. We're acutely aware of the need for more comprehensive docs. Expect a "Guides" section to appear in the near future to cover common use patterns like yours!

> 3. Explicit support for artifact versioning?

Probably not going to happen as it would be little more than an opaque meta var to Nomad.[2]

Although in the upcoming 0.5.5 release we do support Git and hg URLs for artifacts, so you could pull down code from a tag.[3]

We do have other artifact features planned for the near future though (like caching so common artifacts shared between jobs aren't downloaded multiple times), so perhaps some sort of versioning will be added. Not sure what the exact semantics will be yet.
