As someone who doesn't care too much about the health aspect (if it was all greasy blobs, I'd care) of it -- just taste and convenience, with some price sensitivity -- I'm a fan of Blue Apron.

It seems like the quality has gone up, too. Our last several boxes have been all hits, no misses, where 18 months ago there's always be at least one miss.

That said, we're slowly building a repertoire from our favorites, and with that knowledge combined with which "special" or "rare"* ingredients can be reused/replaced, we'll probably eventually stop using the service. But that date gets pushed into the future more to the extent they keep quality high.

*I know they're not "rare" to foodies, but we're pretty basic grocery shoppers.
As one would expect with a fully featured framework, it does add some weight. I have a basic form project I'm working on that just uses some basic styling and components that I hand coded and the production JS and CSS (after gzip) are ~70k and ~2k respectively.

After including Semantic UI and dropping an example form component in, it jumped up to ~140k JS and ~93k CSS.
If you mean that the algorithm was non-trivial, that's probably true. But I don't see what else you could do with it besides recognising a hand-drawn shape.
> there is no enumerated entitlement of what you will receive out of SS

What do you base this statement on? The Federal Government enumerates the exact formula used to determine future social security benefit payments, even for people 40 years away from retirement. Given a known salary scale, a 22 year old can calculate their expected future social security benefit down to the penny. This future benefit is funded by a 12.4% tax/contribution from your salary. It's a % contribution for a defined benefit.

How is that any different than a state or municipal pension?

They are in fact so similar that, in some states, participation in the state's pension plan entirely replaces (rather than compliments) participation in social security.
And is Electron more secure? I guess it doesn't have hackers all around the world trying to find vulnerabilities.

Is that good or bad?
So they are encouraging people to go to work sick under penalty of losing portions of their bonus? How long until a strong version of the flu puts whole teams out of commision? It's things like this that cause me to always reply "Thanks, but no thanks" to their recruiters whenever they reach out to me.

The heated rhetoric around this outrage o' the moment is disguising the fact that United isn't culpable for the brutality the person underwent.

I suspect that the imminent next outrage o' the moment will supplant this in people's minds, and some savvy folks will snap up United at a bargain price and make a tidy profit from this affair.

I should have been more clear. (In my mind) The primary reason why people go to gitlab.com was for "free" tier. This is basically for free everything. Now that CI is paid, I am wondering how this will work out.

For me, this is great news. I generally tend to steer away from free (as in beer) products from startups since it is a sure shot sign of things to come (again, personal opinion).
Toshiba conglomerate: Can we keep going? We don't know
One reason I posted this was the comments section. I've lived in Michigan my entire life and I want it to get better. But the comments of those are ones I hear just about every single week.

Japanese cars used to be pretty rare in the state so it was easy to be in denial when they grabbed enormous market share in the seventies and eighties. You can't even buy a Tesla in the state so you see few of them and the denial begins anew.

Just this week there was an article that Detroit was winning the tech war with autonomous cars and that Silicon Valley was throwing in the towel. Only problem is that no one has told the Valley;<).

Even if I am in the 29% (which is less likely, statistically speaking) along with my friend who also did the training and couldn't do this voluntarily, that's only one part of my argument. I'd still like to see the source for that data. It would contradict research that I've read. And voluntary movement still won't address onset, offset, and intensity of muscle contractions. In addition, voluntary facial movements will often be unilateral (one-sided) or asymmetric in some facet (stronger on one side than another) as well, among other concerns.

There are scholarly critiques on everything. No philisophy is perfect. Capitalism and Socialism obviously have their scholarly critiques.

Atlas Shrugged is a novel which happens to contain Ayn Rand's philosophy. You can learn from it or not. I think there's some truth to all kinds philosophy, you just need to be discerning.

An analogy to this would be: "you can't seriously be a Christian. No academic thinks the Bible really happened."

I can still learn from the Bible, or the Church, even if it's all a lie.

If you're looking for a scholarly consensus on the "one true universal philosphy" you're going to be waiting awhile.
Rust doesn't bring much in that aspect. You could use C++ for performant high level abstraction for many years before Rust. Rust brings memory safety and that's huge. But it's not anything like Java, it's much harder.
C++11 makes a LOT of things much, much easier. Yes, it does pile on top of existing complexity because they're loathe to eliminate any backwards compatibility, but the nice thing is that you don't have to use older features or methods of doing things. In fact, if you look multiple serious C++ codebases, it'll almost look like they're different languages, as every project basically chooses a subset of C++ they accept. Realtime embedded code doesn't look anything like desktop application code, for instance, but they're both technically C++.
Cue a whole department going down with the flu because of this. Dumb. Employees should be encouraged to stay home when ill, not encouraged to go to work. Besides the obvious risks from infection of course there are contributory risks such as someone causing a workplace accident because they are ill and therefore not as concentrated on their work as they should be.

I have a similar setup, and I don't waste any time logging into all of them because I simply always have them running. Why would you need to login every day? Are you shutting them down at the end of every day... if so, why?

The fact that LLVM is now finding some official use (in the arm64 port), combined with the retirement of a couple more platforms, strongly signals that OpenBSD might very well switch to LLVM/clang (and away from GCC, which has very much non-ideal licensing terms).
I gave it up a long, long time ago; it just isn't necessary. I use Linux (Ubuntu, in recent years) and Mac OS.
I've always been curious about the waste concerns highlighted towards the end of the article. What is the cost of the individualized packaging? How much does it's recyclability matter. Does it create less food waste? Less pollution from car trips to the grocery store? Less waste & pollution than the operations of those stores themselves? My uneducated guess is no, but I'm curious if there are any studies out there measuring these kinds of impacts.

Miele Releases New EcoFlex Dishwasher Series – 2017 Update
Not even nearly as bad as long commutes and having to drive everywhere, thanks to poor infrastructure decisions made by the US in the 50s and 60s.

But, unlike transport, where you at least have an alternative (live in the city, ditch the car), if I have family on another continent, flying is the only way I can see them.

A poster above you posted a source that flying is responsible for around ~3% of global emissions, but you nonchalantly relegated it to the realm of "fake facts". Your fanaticism is helping no one here.

Regardless, both flying and personal automobiles powered by fossil fuels are a luxury that will soon be done away with, regardless of your appeals to conscience. Fuel will simply become too expensive (as we run out or introduce a carbon tax).
You can still use the CI for free.
She also includes scenes where the heroes help one another, or even help strangers. (Example: Dagny inviting the tramp to join her for dinner).

The scene where "a zillionaire capitalist charges for giving one of the other heroes a short ride in his car" is symbolic. The characters in the valley wanted to uphold the ethos that everyone there lived by the product of his or her own effort.

Ayn Rand didn't include that scene for people like you who want to nitpick everything. She is writing for the kind of readers who think "hmm, having to pay for everything sounds annoying -- but on the other hand, it means you're not constantly dealing with requests for free favours. What kind of people would live in a place where everything had to be paid for? Would I want to live with those people?"
I have a feeling that will change in future releases.

That's like saying "Why not just use lisp?" to a python programmer. They're entirely separate languages (albeit it they do share some commonalities, but not as many as you might think).

C is my main language and I dabble in C++. I really dislike C++. I love C. I welcome any efforts to add a bit of higher level functionality to C. I have no desire (ever) to switch to C++.

The image appears to have a capacitor (? it's green, which is unusual) just randomly poking out at the bottom-right. I'm assuming that's a doctored image.

I also get a couple of strange images:

* One says "TT" and has the Manx triskelion, suggesting a relationship to the Isle of Mann motorcycle race, The TT.

* One says "poslednee gac" in cyrillic script, presumably "Last Hour" in Russian.

* One shows a tight shot of a large piece of heavy equipment, painted white and with a whiteboard with intriguing notes written on "Impete Forman / 3 Heat sheets from training / ..." or somesuch. [appears to refer to Kearny volunteer fire house in LA?]

* Another shows a man, wearing the garb supposed to be on sale, astride a black motorbike.

* Yet another shows an arrangement of 2048 in the stones stuck to the tyre of that motorbike.

* Another again quotes the Bible and has a large "60", but has a phone number "+1628 444 97 91" which appears to be a Russian number.

* And so on.

The music appears to be a serious of multiples of beats with some ambient sound and a small amount of speech. I'm guessing at least part of it can be interpreted as hex and converted to ascii or something similar. Later there is some chanting and partial word elements with scrambled speech too.

My best guess is viral marketing for a movie/tv-show at this point. I thought of Mr Robot, but it seems 12 Monkeys like from what little I remember seeing.

Whatever it is it's well made with a good degree of intrigue IMO.

OK let's assume Wikipedia is the equivalent of a giant library of unread books. I don't feel any smarter, nor am I am becoming smarter by not reading it. Buying a bunch of books one is never going to read seems like a waste of money. You cant actually learn anything until you read at least some of it..maybe missing the point
Any hacker who's employed, whether self- or by another, should be very, very interested in the business health of their employer since it directly affects their compensation and possibly their continued employment. Hacking cool technology might be interesting but it's the business that pays the bills.

Failing to perceive when your employer or business unit ceases to be a going concern will result in some very unpleasant surprises.
One problem, you cant optimize at all with electron, you are stuck with shoving a complete web browser solution into your program to make a GUI.

You are stuck with a massive amount of dependencies (html/css parser, javascript VM...) to various massive projects for what, easy cross platform support? Sure cross platform GUI's have been a problem, but any developer can agree that dependency to this level within professional code is a great way to cause a massive amount of headache from required library changes, bugs and memory leaks that you have NO control over due to it not being your code, required security updates that require code refactoring for no fault of your own, etc.

People keep bringing this up because it is a bad solution to a large problem. Maybe the reason its being rehashed so much is because there is truth to what is being said.

I would try finding a graphics library such as opengl, and build a UI in the spirit of something like:

Most Respected Women in Silicon Valley

>This should fall under 17 USC [117](a)(1), "Making of Additional Copy or Adaptation by Owner of Copy".

It says that the owner may "make or authorize the making of" a copy for this purpose. This means that whether or not the copy is infringing will hinge on the language of the authorization granted by the owner.

It's noteworthy that despite the language of "...or authorize the making of..." being in place prior to MAI v. Peak, the Peak technicians were not considered sufficiently "authorized" to make a copy by running a program that the computer's owners had purchased, even though doing so was a necessary component in fulfilling their duties. One would think that logically, the owner's authorization to make the copy would've applied.

Going back to the decision to see the reasoning on this, I find nothing specific discussing why the authorization from the software's owners would not have applied. [0]

There is some commentary about how in a prior case, copying the program onto "silicon chips", meaning the fixed medium of a diskette (non-floppy), was ruled infringement because it was "not an essential step" in using the software, since it could be used by copying it only into RAM. Since the software could be used from RAM after being read from disk, it was "fixed" copy under the statute.

That's all well and good (not really, but discussed above), but it doesn't say why the authorization of the owners of MAI software was insufficient to allow the computer technician to make copies as his/her agent, necessitating the addition of subsections (c) and (d) in 1998.

I'm also using a W520, running Ubuntu 16.04, and it's working fine as a dev machine. Of course I stuffed it full of RAM and swapped in an SSD. I don't schlep it home very often, but it's nice to have the option.

Hi atonse, Russell from Gravitational here.

As far as configuring your VPC having the bastion (Proxy) as the only server with a public address is reasonable. One of the nice things about Teleport is that the Teleport Proxy itself doesn't have access to much, so exposing it to the Internet is fine. The Auth Server is the one that holds sensitive information and we recommend you create a security group for it and only allow it to be accessed from Teleport Proxies or Teleport Nodes.

With respect to keys, they are stored and accessed via the Auth Server in Teleport. We recommend you have strong access controls on the Auth Server. If you are using the default backend (BoltDB) or directory based backend that's all you need to do. If you are using etcd we recommend you have strong access controls on the server that runs etcd as well as etcd itself, we have an example in our Teleport repo for etcd configuration if you're interested[1]. If you are using DynamoDB, we recommend having a strong IAM policy. We are not using Vault at the moment.

Fair enough. There have been proposals to make copyright terms shorter with renewal options but those aren't inherent in orphan works legislation.

In general, I favor orphan works legislation but there is both potential for abuse and ambiguity in how much effort will and should go into tracking down rights holders.
Meanwhile I've seen the HN pop over on my Medium writings and it can be minor or major. Stats are interesting like that, because I do a minimum of targeting submissions / referrals and have a general idea of what places have driven traffic. Getting 1-2K views in 24 hours is easily possible, which might not sound like much, but I'd say it's pretty decent for Amateur Hour Writings of mine.
It is really rather easy to avoid it, just follow lawful orders by the flight crew.
This is the kind of thing I'd expect to see utilized by state-level actors who in many cases may be able to obtain internal technical information and tools from vendors. I wouldn't expect this to become an in-the-wild exploit, but for targeted use by agencies with the resources and motivations to identify specific models, obtain them and test against them this kind of thing should be relatively easy.

As an example, what kind of Android device is best used for insomniac tweets? At one point I thought I saw mentioned that it was a Samsung device a generation or two old, so perhaps a Galaxy S5 suitable for tweeting from the tub? That's a known-vulnerable device, elderly by Android standards of "who gets updates" meaning that Samsung and the carriers don't put any priority on it. Sure you can look at things like LineageOS, but since part of the problem here is in the proprietary firmware blob of the chipset there may still be problems that aftermarket OS upgrades aren't going to touch.

For that matter, is Trump's possible change to an iPhone within the last month[1] related to this, and has it stuck of does he still have a Samsung floating around as seems to be the case?

If they go to work and get everyone sick their bonuses would be lower, right? Seems like this policy aligns incentives well, in theory. May actually lead to a lot of people at work while sick and providing lower productivity days, in practice.
I don't think this holds as a general rule. A counterexample is App.net.
Yep, WPF is probably the best platform at present for creating rich GUI apps. It's failure to really take off is overwhelmingly caused by its complete lack of cross-platform capability. If you're creating a new Windows app from scratch it's really hard to justify using a GUI framework that eliminates the option of going cross-platform in the future without needing to do a near-total rewrite.
Err..Pretty sure it is a web wrapper? Just checked out their GitHub and didn't even see a desktop app.

It would be relatively easy for C++ to add some kinds of C compatibility, and they just haven't bothered to. (E.g., the "static" keyword for parameter array sizes.) It's a little annoying for shared headers that have to be used in C and C++ programs.
