I've heard that book isn't very good. It is full of stories that didn't happen and are just Robert's ideas about what makes a rich person rich.

Basically, Robert got rich from telling others how rich people are.

I've read plenty of books about finances that are just mind-numbingly obvious that it is a skip for anyone with common sense. Would you agree RDPD is that kind of book?

Just signed up for answering this. I recently had the same issue and found a fantastic (and hackable via JS/CSS!) tool: https://gingkoapp.com/app

Highly recommended. I use it for creating my daily todos out of life goals (I use the template/concept of Ray Dalio's Principles (https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsd...) for this).
I put some transliterations and metadata on Genius.com and I think it's the best lyric site on the internet. They just need to figure out how to stay alive and grow the catalogue further, test things which don't cost them millions of dollars to fail at.

> "Mind your own business" means structuring things simply and in such a way that you get paid more (ie: minimize tax expense... which IS your biggest expense).

I'm having trouble figuring out what you could mean by this that isn't some variety of "you know how to make money? Already have a lot of money." What do you mean?

I think the key difference being that with the hypothetical cooperative they can't compel your membership just based on where you live.

If that statement stopped holding true (as it sometimes does in the real world, with block associations that are compulsory) then yes I'd say it's equivalent to government in all the important ways.

I don't disagree with that. I also work at Twitter and use Sketch.

It wouldn't feature in the "literature" before then because the oral Torah was not allowed to be written down.

The calculator you linked to assumes a maximum TCP window size of 64KB for everything but "replication". TCP window scaling has been on by default in every major OS for 10 years or more, allowing much greater throughput. It's true that latency sets a limit on TCP throughput but it's not nearly as bad as your calculator would indicate.

I think a more descriptive, more accurate, less catchy phrase would be "The stakeholders - the ones utilizing the results of your software - don't care how the results are created as long as they're easily accessible, accurate and timely. And don't forget, developers are users too, often the way something is written or the way it behaves at a lower level is actually important to them."
I agree it is not ideal, but the counterexamples I provided do explain why other suggested methods are too simple to fool.

Yeah, similar for me. In my geo it shows ~87-98K, but if I moved to San Francisco it is ~173-189K. Which seems foolish. They should incentivize people to move to the lower costs geos, not penalize them.

And the listed salary for my geo is about 2/3 to 3/4 of my current base pay before any bonuses. The idea of the company sounds good, but the pay is a deal breaker for me. I wouldn't like feeling like I'm providing the company more value but because the person lives in San Francisco they get twice as much pay. Maybe that is me being petty?
Worked with a guy once who was a pro at this. Every day he did nothing, but when higher ups asked the team what was done and how, he managed to take credit and explain how things worked well enough to convince them that he had done it all. The rest of the team was not amused. Just listening in on a team (while adding nothing to the code or discussion) might be enough to go into great depth in such a discussion.

Though yes, I hope ultimately humanity will prevail -

There are cases where farmers in adjacent plots were sued for using monsanto 'patented' plants without a licence because their crops cross-pollenated with Monsanto ones - further, if I recall correctly, Monsanto was illegally stealing crop samples or using some other form of shady tricks to perform the analysis required to determine the plants contained the 'patented' genes..

Also, much like bacterial resistance in other areas, if the monsanto GMO crops facillitate mutation such that their 'patented' genes are essentially required for a crop to be viable, over the long run, the argument that we 'dont need' the seeds becomes moot..
Definitely, which is why I said: any security audit would have found this, so I'm guessing they never had any.
Thanks Brad, glad to hear you like the move.

The reason Spanner was possible is because Google does NOT use standard TCP/IP. Google created a logical circuit switch network that is determinate versus IP nondeterminat.
As far as I can tell, the only way the source-whitespace will appear is when both of the following are true:

1. The parent has `display-inside: flow` or `display-inside: flow-root` (ie, the "original", pre-flexbox, formatting contexts)

eg `display: block`, `display: inline`, `display: inside-block`

2. The children have `display-outside: inline`

eg, `display: inline`, `display: inline-block`, `display: inline-flex`

In any other combination, the source-whitespace disappears, in some way or other.

----

What I think you want, a horizontal row disregarding source-whitespace, could be achieved with `display-inside: flex` (eg, `display: flex`, `display: inline-flex`) on the parent (with `flex-direction: row` being the default). So:

img-row {
display: flex;
}

aka

img-row {
display: block flex;
}

aka (though this syntax has been temporarily removed)

img-row {
display-outside: block;
display-inside: flex;
}

aka

img-row {
display-outside: block;
display-inside: flex;
flex-direction: row; /* the default */
}

----

Note that this longhand syntax doesn't seem to be implemented in Chrome, at least, yet. So if you want to check it out, you'll have to work in the shorthand (still translatable from the longhand as specified in the draft spec https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#propdef-display).
yep, but they're still rings :)
Is Rs.20 for 20GB a Typo?
If not then I am stunned at those rates.
You're supposed to want "fiber" because it's intrinsically better and shiny and faster. People who write these pieces always assume that we should want "fiber" regardless of what it costs to build, or whether there is demand for it, or how it will improve our lives. The private sector has not found "fiber" to be profitable, so for some reason government should do it because it's inherently good. It never occurs to these "fiber" proponents that maybe "fiber" is not profitable because it's not necessary.

America's wireless operators plow billions into capital investment, because there's market demand for it. That's the future. "Fiber" inspires geek fetishes because it's fast. Non-geeks on the other hand are using their phones to watch video and don't care about the alleged goodness of "fiber". After all, if they did care, FiOS would be expanding and Google would add more Fiber cities.

Government investment in FTTH is a twenty-first century boondoggle waiting to happen. It's nowhere near my list of beneficial things government could do if it wants to start plowing billions of dollars into capital investment.
Can you elaborate?

Operational and structural details like this have always fascinated me.

The real story is quite tragic. That people misinterpreted it as an accidental death from a hilarious misunderstanding just adds to the sadness of the whole thing.

It is not for small changes. But as soon has you update a whole layout of many listings, I doubt you are manually diffing your nested data structure to produce the less possible updates.

React also uses a couple of other tricks, like attaching one event handler to the top of the DOM doc and fire fake events (they call it synthetic) to avoid having many handlers in the page. Or queueing udpates and merging them so that if many updates arrive at a very close time, you update only the DOM once.

Vue.js and Angular 2 do the same. Although Vue.js is my favorite right now because it's so much more flexible and easier to use.

When you say "Web Components", what is it that you are talking about? I assume you mean custom elements. Custom elements are DOM Nodes like any other. They are represented in JavaScript like any other object.

Of course you can pass non-strings to DOM elements. Open your development console and type document.createElement('div').user = {name: 'Dmitri'}. Did you get an error?

It's useful when you have multiple streams in a household. In my 3 person household, a typical evening might have my son on Youtube, my wife and I streaming a TV show (sometimes 2 shows if we can't agree on what to watch) and light web surfing on our personal devices if the show isn't one that demands full attention. That all adds up. I've got 50/50 service and it's fine. 4K streaming would make it not so fine however.

That's great to hear! We contaced many campaigns, and received answers from 100 of them. We are very grateful to the companies who shared their video info. This kind of transparency is much needed, in particular in video production.
In terms of methodology, one third of the sample is from randomly selected campaigns on Kickstarter / Indiegogo, one third are campaigns that made videos with Videopixie creators (I am a co-founder), and the remainig third we targeted specifically to cover the full range of campaign sizes.
Obviously we'd love to do this with even more campaigns. This was kind of a proof of concept for us. People seem to benefit from the data, and we have a methodology in place, so I hope we get to do more of it!

Precisely the reason I missed angular when going to react and why I now love vue (which is kinda the best world of both): most of the time, you don't start with reusable components. You just hack on your template, and maybe, maybe, if your project grow, you start extracting common code into reusable widgets.
That's not an option nowadays as far as I know.

I don't have the time to dig this up, but banking law forbids unknown parties to access safe deposit box in major banks. Sure you can give the second key to anyone you want but when they showed up at the bank, they will have to show their ID that matches name on the list of people you gave permission to access the box (at least that's how it is at Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo - I don't have boxes at other banks). This is part of KYC (know your customer) routine for banking institutions.

I say this from the position of someone who has side projects on their own.

The general feeling that an engineer can't be any good without working unpaid outside of their job seems like a self inflicted and unnecessary cultural norm we've adopted as an industry. I can't think of any other industry where someone who goes home and doesn't practice their craft after hours is looked down upon as much as it is in software.

I don't have the label for it. It's similar to how employers want to hire developers for junior pay but don't want to provide any training and expect them to have taught themselves on various tools while lamenting the lack of skilled developers. Someone else in this thread mentioned the view of software engineers being viewed as artists who have to have a burning passion for their craft and I think that's bullshit.

Yea there are always guys who actually have that passion and enjoy programming as a hobby, but they are the minority like any other profession. It's become some sort of virtue signaling. I've talked to a number of devs who go through the effort of having publicly available work to show off who have confided to me that they do it just so that prospective employers feel that they are passionate
Reliance seems to be heavily focussed on their mobile network. They're talking a lot about their planned hotspots but there seems to be more smoke than fire at the moment. Once they launch, we'll see whats what. Our users seem to be wary of switching their phone numbers to Reliance and at the moment a lot of their phones don't support 4G as yet. Also, our service is 5x cheaper than mobile data, so users like that.

Rolling out Wifi Dabba has been a 'feet on the street' exercise, there's no shortcut to this. On the other hand we now have a waiting list of a few thousand stores, word gets around fairly quick because Dabba is good for business.

It's related to the 3rd commandment to not make an image of G-d.

I don't believe the permission to illustrate the megillah has anything to do with G-d's name not being mentioned, as there are accepted illustrations of Tanach (where G-d's name is mentioned) across the spectrum. As long as there is no depiction of G-d it is fine.

As an orthodox Jew, I have no reason to believe that any other orthodox Jew would be OK with making a depiction of G-d. If someone else did, it would just be avoided. I can't speak for any other denominations.

Another thing an orthodox Jew might do is preface any anthropomorphic mention of G-d with "kavayachol" meaning "as if it were possible" (loosely translated as "so to speak"), in recognition of the fact that G-d cannot be prescribed physical qualities.

Edit: just saw your note about historical precedence. For an orthodox Jew there is no separation of what it says in the Torah and what has happened historically. We follow a masoretic tradition as to the interpretation of the Torah. So as I said above, I can't imagine an orthodox Jew being OK with a depiction of G-d from a Torah standpoint.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a bad principle to run both countries and companies.
The best advice I can give you is to join a Security CTF team (your college may or may not have one, but there are others that are open to all).

Internships and jobs will open up from being part of a CTF group. It's also A LOT of fun* (*opinion).

netsec might not necessarily be what you're looking for. A position as a Security Researcher is probably what you most fit into... finding the right recruiter can also help you out a lot.

Another (and honestly, easier to get into) security industry is the public sector. Intelligence agencies, military intelligence branches, etc. They'll hire you based on personality and potential, and will train you further. This (in my limited experience) usually means less pay.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
Have to concur with most; while there's some stuff I didn't like about the video (overall still a great video) - those wouldn't have held me back from buying the product.

If I wanted the product.

I have light switches everywhere I want light, and they have light switches close to them, or in sensible places. Putting them all on a remote seems useless to me, since then I'd lose it all the time, or it'd be in the other room, or whatever.

So nope; just not excited about the product itself.

What's interesting though, is that your data point wasn't in the data, and it might've changed the conclusion a fair bit. I wonder how many more outliers there were, and if 100 videos is even close to being enough data.
