> which is a noble goal -- especially when it's done for free.

Nothing is free. Everything has a cost. It's one thing to expend your own resources writing articles or helping people on Internet forums. It's quite another thing to impose that cost on other people. Sitting in your bedroom and living off your parent's resources is not noble.

There's nothing wrong with trying and failing. It's good to try, even when you fail. But there's nothing good about a situation where you're not even trying to find a way to support yourself.

I can't say if you are serious (given the smiley), but if you are indeed serious, then it's really odd that something like this incident would increase your faith in the product.

Gitlab.com is a repository hosting product i.e. it's in data storage business. Of course there are other important aspects to the product, like the web interface and such, but they are primarily into data storage. They literally lost data of their users [1] (some of them might have been paid customers too), not because someone accidentally deleted the data (which happens and is understandable), but because they did not have the basic things, that you expect of data storage products, functional or tested.

They have been offering gitlab.com as a SaaS product, since 5 years [2] and yet the very basic thing, like backups, wasn't tested or functional. If that's what increases the faith in a data storage company, then I don't know what to make of it.

Where is commonly found finasteride or dustaride?
Beware, this script will hose / clobber and then silently clean up (delete) a ton of various different files if files with those names happen to already exist. To see the exact file names you'll have to carefully pick through the script. So obviously? run it in its own directory, which is no guarantee of safety, but should be safer.

If you have a subdirectory where you run it named after your email hostname (such as "example/" for "example.com"), then it will prompt you to "overwrite the contents of the directory" and then, if you accept, it will not only overwrite the contents, it will remove the entire contents with:

cd $outdir
rm * 2>/dev/null

There's a slight violation of user expectations here. Removing and replacing the contents isn't quite the same as overwriting the contents. It may be a fine line, but it's better to err on the side of protecting the user's files, not deleting them, when deciding where to come down on that fine line.

And if $outdir is empty or not there, it tries to detect that by first doing a check for -d $outdir, but this won't save the user if $outdir gets moved aside by another process while they are reading the prompt and before the cd happens, leaving them in another directory. Hopefully the user has rm aliased to rm -i but that still won't help since the rm is being run in its own shell in the script.

I know we're not supposed to focus on the negative here on HN. I'm sure the script is awesome for whatever it does. Just be careful out there!
Imagine how powerful whoever controlled this would be. In one stroke they could decimate economies that either have a lot of gold or whose central bank has a lot of gold. I'm just surprised the military, Cia or some other deep state agency isn't already on good.

These Cloud Orchestration Tools Outshine the Competition
I find the notion that there can be a "broad mentality of data transparency" very encouraging. Culture is definitely one of the biggest obstacles to effective utilisation of data.

In my experience managing physical assets, a little bit of broad knowledge (SQL, relation databases, statistics) has greatly improved my own capabilities: I can speak the language of the IT folks who shepherd my data, and I can keep a skeptical eye on the quantitative risk folks. I can stand by my analyses because I trust the ingredients and can enumerate/quantify the risks.

Conversely though, without being bit of a data jack-of-all-trades, it's harder to see the cool potential in our existing datasets. Especially if the environment/culture doesn't contain the right people to share this knowledge.

I'm hoping that some sort of data-basic-training becomes standard in undergrad engineering courses in the future.

I'd like this service a lot more if it had a "last_refreshed" field. BGP/network-announcement hijacks aren't exactly common, but it'd be a useful bit of info to have in terms of determining how reliable the announcement is.

They are both drugs to treat enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia)

There really hasn't been that much forking. FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD and Darwin being the only existing operating systems. On top of that, they are complete operating systems with a user environment and kernel. You can't directly compare them to "Linux" which is only a kernel. You could more accurately compare them to Linux distributions (FreeBSD <=> Ubuntu). When looked at that way, the "fractured" community looks less like BSD and more like Linux.
Among other things, in a drug that is used to treat BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia — a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate), and male pattern hair loss. It's also sometimes used as a hormone replacement in FtM transgender individuals.

It's widely rumored that President Trump uses it for hair loss, which I suspect is part of why this article was shared, and is being upvoted; this side effect wasn't exactly unknown before this study...
10 artificial intelligence tools you can use
HIPAA privacy requirements apply to "covered entities" and their "business associates". A "covered entity" is a health care provider, a health plan, or a health care clearinghouse [1].

Your ISP would not be a covered entity.

If we assume that webmd.com would count as a "health care provider" (probably a questionable assumption) that would not be enough to get your ISP covered as a "business associate". Googling turns up rulings that ISPs are not HIPAA "business associates" when a patient uses them to reach a provider.

I described it in this post http://rystsov.info/2015/09/16/how-paxos-works.html

With single-decree Paxos you can write a storage which provides the following API:

function changeQuery(key, change, query) {

var value=this.db.get(key);
value = change(value);

this.db.commit(key, value);

return query(value);

}

By providing different implementations of change & query you can achieve different beviour including CAS.
