Masters Degree which payoff the fastest
I recently started eating meat after over a decade of being a vegetarian. I simply got sick of the available selection of food and how extremely expensive and poor it is. If you cook very little, like me, it's very likely a vegetarian diet is less healthy simply because of the food that's available, often processed things filled with sugar. Either that, or you're spending serious money every day eating out with no guarantee that the food is nutritional either. Ironically, while leaving the US increases the quality and variety of many foods, the variety of vegetarian food available in many countries abroad is even worse. The market simply does not serve vegetarians well. Or perhaps, the market simply does not serve anyone who doesn't cook/cooks little well. I think it's probably a bit of both. These types of day to day logistical challenges of being a vegetarian are the most difficult to overcome, IMO. If restaurants with a variety of healthy, vegetarian, decently-priced food existed, I likely wouldn't have quit.
Honestly this is probably top-down language usage, not a marketing team. Solomon has been talking about containers with this same wording for years, and he's talked about it on podcasts... etc. Granted, that doesn't mean it's not marketing double-speak. Definitely grandiose in a way that marketing language often is.
Have you considered the Windows Store? (Steam might also be an option depending on your audience, though it has picked up a larger number of non-game applications.)

Yes, the Windows Store might not cover 100% of your audience if you are still covering Windows 7 users or Linux users, but making it an option might provide a very clear and simple purchasing funnel for Windows 10 users that do use the store. (Plus Mac Store for macOS users.)

The Windows Store provides a lot of APIs to control and manage a purchasing funnel, and does a lot of the service things you would like someone to do for you.

If your desktop app isn't yet a UWP app you can use the Desktop Bridge to build an app package for the Store of your desktop app.
Ask HN: Git workflow in local?
Anyone collobarate on the same server with multiple devlopers?

I have this restricted server where I cannot run a daemon or a simple http server. So, We will have work on the same repo.

Is there any established workflow for this? I'm a git beginner.
Although that point of view appears to miss the point. It appears the inability to pay for food with the health budget would hide / obfuscate the data that might have otherwise shown a direct correlation between malnutrition and poor health.

Sure you could read a study to get the same information, but unless your own data screams to you what the problem is it's not always easy to convince folks you should be doing anything about it.

Often the argument is made that automation = abundance which can resolve a lot of problems. However, this assumes that the abundance will be equally distributed, and that is not necessarily true in a capitalistic society (especially within the last decade with the top centile owning most of wealth and income). And if some of Piketty's arguments from Capital in the 21st century hold (particularly r > g), than wealth inequality will continue to increase.

However, inequality increasing itself is not a bad thing (in fact you need inequality for capitalism to work) if the overall quality of life for the bottom improves. If we can reach a point of diminishing marginal returns of just owning wealth (if it's true that people stop caring about collecting wealth once they have enough), than yes I think automation can help stop a collapse because working population won't care because they have enough wealth to be happy.

However, it is human tendency to base satisfaction and happiness RELATIVE to others (look at equity theory from management) so we may still end up in a situation where the quality of life for everyone has improved, but the working population still views that they're still inequal relative to the top (even though they're both better off) and we lead to instability. You can argue that has happened in our modern world today.

Another part of the reason I tend to support the model is that I've watched micropayments for.... umm... gosh, about 16-18 years now. It isn't going to happen, or if it is, it's going to require something relatively fundamental to shift.

Without kind-of ignoring the limitations of the constitution, we'd likely have had an Articles of Confederation style crisis at some point, and had to replace (or heavily amend) the Constitution since then. Which would be better than kind-of ignoring it from our perspective, though not from that of the people who had to live through said crisis.

As it is, we de facto ignore the parts that would screw up operating a modern nation-state, the "must preserve the independence of states!" wing gets to not-vote for amendments that de jure reduce said independence in order to let things actually work well/sanely, and no-one has to live through a crisis bad enough to get that wing to abandon their position. So... win/win if you're happy with a local maximum, I guess?

17 years after Pets.com shuts down, PetSmart buys Chewy.com for $2B
Brian from Backblaze here.

Backblaze does not charge anything (zero) for the bandwidth of the b2_list_file_names response. What we mean for the bandwidth is "file contents you download". So compressing or not compressing b2_list_file_names won't make any difference in your bill.

We do change a TINY "per transaction" charge on api calls like b2_list_file_names. The reason is to break even on the farm of servers (we call them "API Servers" internally) that are needed to support the HTTPS load generated from those calls. But that is really really tiny, like you get 1,000 calls for 4/10ths of one penny.
Whether an editor needs to be programmable or not depends on what "all the work" is. If you're doing the same exact work as everybody else then certainly a programmable editor is overkill. If your work is different, then programming is how you tell the editor what it means to do all the work for you.
Thank you for cheering yesterday. This was my third Boston. The Boston Marathon is an experience that in my mind is unique in sport.

The analogy I make is this. It's like getting to play on the field after the Super Bowl or World Series or World Cup just after the pros leave the field with a bunch of other amateurs while the crowd is still there cheering for you.

I can't think of another sport where you get to participate on the same field of play right after the pros and the fans are still there for you.

In Boston especially the entire city treats the runners like royalty the whole weekend and Marathon Monday. Everyone asks how you did. It's truly amazing and I'm honored and thankful I can participate.

I've run other big city marathons including New York and Chicago and while they are great races too, there's really nothing like Boston.

So again, thank you. And if you're a runner of any sort and the marathon is at all appealing to you, do the work you have to do to get to Boston. Making that left turn on Boylston and running to that finish ... I just have no words to describe the thrill.

It'd be more accurate to say that it's a hybrid of VS & Sublime/Atom's UI concepts. An elegantly executed hybrid, at that.

My original (if implicit) claim was simply that VS Code is a member of the VS product line. I stand by that.

I'm enjoying Chicago's position on that list. Within, say, 3 miles of my house on the North Side there's probably 10-15 breweries plus one distillery I know of.

At the same time, I've seen a few of these small places close up shop. In one case it was a lease dispute with the landlord and they simply couldn't afford to open up again in a new place. It's a tough business for sure and many of these breweries certainly seem to be a labor of love, profitable perhaps, but I think they're in it for the brewing.
Seattle has presumably changed a bit since Microsoft was founded there about 40 years ago. No Amazon, etc. No competition for labor from other tech firms. Gates located there because he did not want to compete for labor from other tech firms and it was much harder then for SV or other tech to poach Microsoft employees paying them market wages. Remember Gates is very much the businessman.

Nobody is competing with my work, I am simply pointing out facts. HN readers, who generally deal with facts and data should appreciate that. Imported labor depresses wages.
> The current standard languages are Objective-C and Swift, both with automatic reference counting (which is mostly a GC, although you have to manually break cycles).

I don't want nitpick, but isn't there a _world_ of difference between ARC and your standard GC? In a GC I expect various different "spaces" for different generations of memory allocation and an assortment of algorithms for detecting unreferenced memory at various times. "Stop the world" events etc.

I may be wrong, but I always thought of ARC as a somewhat glorified pointer structure where each allocated memory got a counter of how many places are currently pointing to it, and when that counter reaches 0, deallocation happens. No fancy generation spaces, no complicated cycle finding algorithms and no stopping the world.

The time for fixing Social Security with "minor tweaks" has passed, the problem moving forward is Demographics

>Social Security's total income is projected to exceed its total cost through 2019, as it has since 1982. The 2015 surplus of total income relative to cost was $23 billion. However, when interest income is excluded, Social Security's cost is projected to exceed its non-interest income throughout the projection period, as it has since 2010. The Trustees project that this annual non-interest deficit will average about $69 billion between 2016 and 2019. It will then rise steeply as income growth slows to its sustainable trend rate as the economic recovery is complete while the number of beneficiaries continues to grow at a substantially faster rate than the number of covered workers.

Sure. A bit hard to do as a table here, but here it goes:

B2 Glacier

Storage: $0.005/GB/mo === $0.004-$0.005/GB/mo (by region)

Upload: Free === Free + $0.05/1000 transactions

Download: $0.02/GB === $0.05-$0.09/GB

Retrieval Fee: Free === $0.003-$0.03/GB + $0.003-$0.03/1000 requests

Retrieval Time: Milliseconds === 1 min - 12 hours

In short, unless you only upload very large individual files, do nothing with them, and don't access any of them for at least 10 years...B2 is lower cost. (And, of course, doesn't required you to wait to get them out.)
Some of these points are fair but I want to clarify the co-op idea has less to do with an argument that "all small business owners aren't fair," and more about wanting to get rid of the very distinction between labor, ownership and management.

In other words, fair management is one thing; abolishing management as such is something else. Like you point out, "Obviously not all businesses are owned by the people who work in it" -- I think that's the heart of this issue.

(That said, in what I've seen of the co-operative movement, there do end up being some sort of specialized managerial people much of the time. So it's far from clearcut on the ground, as you're pointing out.)
A related aside: while forgeries - deliberate imitations to mislead and deceive - are exciting, they only represent a very tiny portion of art attribution questions. In reality, these tend to deal more with discerning between artists working in the same period, rather than those attempting to fool the eye at several centuries' remove.

For example, the Rembrandt Research Project infamously set out to identify genuine vs. fake Rembrandt paintings in his corpus of known works under the false assumption that there would be a lot of 18th/19th/20th century forgeries. In fact, most of the "non-Rembrandt" cases they found were not later imitations, but instead works done by his own students or contemporaries - or works co-produced by Rembrandt and another. The result - deconstructing the project's original false assumption - proved revolutionary for our understanding of artistic studio practice from the period, but failed to locate many "forgeries" as such.

A marketing-speak filtered out version of this announcement: You will be able to assemble your own docker engine by stripping out components you don't need (that have until now been shipped in a single docker binary) and keeping the ones you do. This is like assembling PCs, for docker.

I think this was mainly intended as an answer to the criticism docker has been receiving (by kubernetes maintainers and others) ever since they decided to ship swarm with docker. I think this move is great as it goes a step further and allows you to swap out build systems, volume mgmnt too. Even though I did not mind docker shipping with swarm, others in the community were, and this shows docker listened, which is great.

I'm embarrassed by the fact that we've largely forgotten this kind of thing and by how much misogyny that I see on the internet today. It reminds me of how much we've changed in 50 years and how many people today have no context for the equality struggles that are currently going on because some of these defining events occurred in their parents generation, as if that doesn't have a huge effect on current generations.

Any time PC culture and white privilege and social justice warriors I can't help but feel sad that we almost seem to be moving backwards while many groups are still fighting for equality as if at some point (unbeknownst to any minority) we achieved total equality and now its the majority that is being discriminated against.
