4chan makes almost $0, for all the time moot poured into it and all its supposed users. Moderation or lack thereof is probably why the ad space is so worthless. Its silly to compare it to Facebook.
> Sometimes when people say "mad" they mean crazy. That's usually what brits mean.

I'm British; that's not what I meant here.

I'm sorry if anyone annoyed that the BBC chose to publish a radio broadcast instead of text misunderstood me, but I would note that if one took me to mean 'crazy' then my sentence was ungrammatical.

If one instead charitably assumes grammatical correctness on my part, 'mad' reads as it was intended, and no offence should be caused.
Andromeda Strain!
That would be a very serious burn, and in that situation it's important (to avoid death or loss of limb) to get the person to the nearest emergency department, and then to the nearest burns unit.

Urbanization causes agglomeration benefits. Larger cities with high-tech industry get even more productivity increases.

New York (finance and business center) and Bay area (Silicon Valley) had a good start before others and started collecting people and companies around the country.
Perhaps real information is harder to source than fake info, and real news is too scant to benefit from that format. Also why papers bury the lead. (To make you read their hard work.) As an exercise go to the BBC and edit the first three articles you find into that format - you will see why they don't want to do it.
The flip side of this is that as the baby boomers pass, there's going to be a glut of retirement home communities available - and with my generation probably never being able to retire, that's going to be an interesting market.
I would only advise using it (if at all) in well-tested libraries that expose a well-documented public API.

I sometimes fantasise about a world where what you describe is just... how we write software. I really wish i could use my colleagues libraries instead of digging into their source code.

Sick of paywall posts. I don't get why this is down voted. Google trick doesn't work for all paywall posts.
And with all that back story, they didn't even answer the most important question: WHERE DID THE IDEA COME FROM? How did the engineer know to she had to build a vibrating wristband?
Programming language design is a part of software engineering. The easier a language makes it for you to do something, the more likely you are to do - regardless of whether it's considered good software engineering.

That said, I don't see anything wrong with this proposal. It makes more likely that code structure mirrors its layout, which is a good thing. Even if it's not always used, it's an improvement where it is.
I guess I'd take some issue with the claim that it has prospered; it's survived, but according to every report I've ever seen, it's never actually made money. As for why it's stayed alive, given the anonymization, it's hard to draw significant conclusions about the community there without having access to 4chan's own analytics, but my suspicion is that the number of people who are long-time contributors to the site are actually relatively few. I'm biased, but based on the people I know who were or are 4chan users and my own personal experience with the site, I suspect most users start using it young, probably in their teens, see their highest level of involvement there over the next few years after they join, then drift away from it. That was the pattern I experienced, and the pattern I saw repeat in a lot of other people. There's a constant influx, but it's not what you would think of as a contiguous community (unless you want to get into some Ship of Theseus questions about what defines a community). 4chan has some of the hallmarks of other web communities, but it diverges from somewhere like HN, Metafilter, or even Reddit by virtue of that lack of continuity. You can survive for a long time on suburban teenagers who want somewhere to play-act as nihilists, but that's never going to be a demographic that produces much by way of value.
Somebody somewhere thought however specious that it would be a good idea to put that in. Ugh these people disgust me. I used to worry about acquaintances joining facebook and allowing it plough through their address book, now this!
The debate annoys me. Housing has become more expensive and food, including eating out, has become cheaper. Yes, a totally financially responsible person should be minimising eating out in order to save. I do this. I'm on close to average full time wage. Even though I'm saving very carefully, it's still going to take me a lot longer before I own my own home than an average wage earner from the previous generation.

Yes, stop buying avocado every day, if you do. But also, Australian housing needs to come down in cost if you don't want people like me to be renting forever.

It's not the end of the world if I rent forever, but it is a bit sad. Everyone else got to own a home, why should that be so much harder for me?

Not to mention that it takes considerably greater qualifications now to earn an average wage compared to the past. So I'm starting later and with student debt.

I don't want to completely absolve myself of agency. I plan on doing the best I can with my situation and I will probably own a home one day. But is it unfair? Yes. There really is no argument.

Us modern folk have it easier in many ways, but in terms of home ownership we're not hallucinating that it's harder. Wages aren't going up as fast as house prices, and that's really what it comes down to.
This doesn't quite seem to follow? ZFS's pool model has supported flagged off features for a very long time - isn't the issue more that to do the things ZFS does you need to implement all the other components? And since you're planning to do a lot of what ZFS does...

The NYT has done reasonably, if not perfectly, on surveillance and cryptography topics I know a great deal about. It's substantially better than The Guardian. Also: the quality of the NYT's reporting is far better than any other news outlet: an NYT story is likely to have better sourcing than any competing story.
Paywalls can be frustrating. As far as I'm aware, the web links for WSJ no longer work, and I intermittently have issues with FT. Are there others you have issues with?
Bullshit.

> it would cost more than 57,000 avocado toasts to buy a loft in Detroit.

But also, while the joke implies that Millennials are stubbornly, consciously making the mistake of living lavishly instead of frugally a) avocado is nutritious (has Big Food has warped the national discourse so much that health is seen as an extravagance?)
and b) capitalism encourages buying; it’s highly hypocritical to expect those who earn less to opt out of this model.

Scary indeed, I've noticed that a Windows 10 'Pro' VM I have at times seems to reset or change privacy / security settings. A first I blamed myself for doing something silly without realising it affected these settings or installing some software that changed them (which is a little scary in itself) but then I realised it was after windows update had run, every few months privacy or security behaviour would change.

Of course, that's true in spite of Trump, not because of him: Trump is reported to have asked Comey to prosecute journalists. Our institutions are holding up, but they're under tremendous strain.
When commodities are traded, the price is set at the marginal cost, which is usually only slightly higher than the actual cost. So the consumer makes much more "profit" on each trade than the producers do. So even though capitalism is seen as highly unfair, it's tolerated -- the poor and the middle class do better than they would under communism or feudalism or anything else.

But if the producer is able to capture the surplus, the already rich capture all of the profit, and the system becomes much less balanced, the poor & middle class start feeling even more exploited by the rich. They decide that it's better to have a small pie divided evenly than to just have the crumbs from a large pie, and start voting in candidates who promise to dismantle trade deals, tax the rich, et cetera.

For those who don't know this trick, click the web link and go to the site via google (which is what the web link does) and more often than not the paywall disappears and you can read the article (at least consistently for WSJ articles this works).

From my old flying days, I remember everyone talking about how the engine nacelles on the original model 777's were almost exactly the same diameter as the fuselage barrel on a 737.

I guess it means they are saving a greater percentage of their income. Is that so surprising?

Not clear if it includes compulsory retirement savings though. In Australia you get 9% of your salary paid into a retirement savings account. If the "income" figure includes things like that then that might explain the higher apparent savings rate.
Actually what's stopping switch and router configuration from being something a local shop does for other local shops? At this point both the software and hardware aspects appear to be generic enough to be do-able. It also buys a local company really good local service. (Or,at least the potential for it.)

My thinking is if many companies can do it internally above a large enough scale then it may be a service opportunity for smaller entities.
I always wonder how big the impact of housing as an Investment Class has on the housing market.

Without any data to back this up, I feel that much of the price inflation around the world housing markets is due to money flowing into the housing market that is fleeing countries, taxation or instability in general. Can anyone more knowledgeable refute this?

And my friends*. My social group (25-30yo) is generally pretty morbid about the whole situation and most are resolved to wait for some sort of bubble to burst in Australia. Investing in other markets which are stable and easy to enter in the meantime.

It's interesting to read an American perspective from outside of the largest cities. I wonder if Australia's more spread out nature and few high density cities skew the problem more here.
Only the banana peel is not that placebo since it offers really good protection even though if it don't have any healing property. The last time I used banana peel was when I accidentally got two toes's nails removed at once! I went to the hospital and they just made a bandage but when I got home and replaced them with banana peels, something like if my nails were the banana peels, the inside part of the peel touching my skin (or meat?) and i felt so much better than the hospital's bandage that I could even wear shoes, it was 5 months ago. I tried to search for some science I found only this: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S0102-86502013000100006&... but they tested unriped and I just use the inside part of the peel of a ripe banana, I didn't find anything so specific yet, I need to dig deeper.
The web link no longer works for WSJ submissions for me. Have you found that it still works for you?
Facebook as a website builder hasn't been true since the news feed appeared.

Its main value-add at this point is discovery and messaging by real name and social graph (you can find people you met in real life but don't know well enough to exchange phone numbers).

Secondarily, it's a long form town-hall forum on, for example, campus-specific pages where students discuss goings-on and outrage-of-the-week.

In distant third, it's a way for people to broadcast content to their followers. Really only important life milestones, travel photos, and political outrage are socially acceptable here.

Website publishing is barely even used anymore. No one fills in a public profile. A specific person's Facebook page is just a WHERE clause on the larger News Feed.

At least, these are my observations as a Millenal going on 10 years of Facebook membership.
But Amazon doesn't want a pretty capable switch with a lot of media options; they probably want one capability (IP routing) and one or two types of media.

You should be able to curry any arbitrary function with an arbitrary number of arguments. Providing a value for the last argument should return the evaluated result of the curried function. If you're not using a JavaScript function's `.length` property to do currying, it's by definition not currying.
Presumably you would put the rules at the router level not the os.

> The rails app is still limited by the GIL and, therefore, runs within a single process.

Rails app-servers fork multiple OS processes to utilize all CPU cores despite the GIL.

If you define a 'Rails app' as a single un-forked OS process (a definition I've never heard before) then yes, tautologically, a 'Rails app' could not utilize all CPU cores because of the GIL.
i agree completely. but both sites are...not good..on mobile. Usable with some effort. And well, it's down far too often for a site of its size.
Another thing is that when the bandages are replaced, it tears off bits of new skin that have started to grow.

I know a girl that had 3rd degree burns on ~85-90% of her body. The doctors said she'd die, but her family brought in some people that applied sterile honey and a certain type of leaf over her entire body, which was far more gentle than the bandages. It was one of the fastest recoveries doctors had seen.

The constant care and timely honey and leaf replacement probably played a large part to the speedy recovery, but there's a point to be made that the standard methods for treating burns seem almost backwards as it doesn't promote skin growth as much as protection from infection.

I'm not a doctor though, so maybe someone else has more input on this.
Lessons Learned from 2 Years as an Angelika Film Center Employee
I think Rails does a pretty good job of making well-documented sense. Lots of crappy gems abuse things like implicit global variables, rewriting core methods, and other monstrous applications of metaprogramming.
I would say this formula only derives the minimum reasonable rate as a freelancer. It basically ends up netting you the same as you would in a salaried job (adjusted for risks/expenses). But I would say you should be making at least a bit more this way, for it to make sense as a career path.

For comparison, I'm working as a contractor now and making between 2 and 3 times what I could make in a perm position. That's adjusted for expenses, sick days etc. It does not cover vacation though and it assumes that I am able to line up new contracts back-to-back, which may not always be the case.
"Many homeowners are holding off on listing their homes for sale because they want to avoid entering a competitive buyer's market, further tightening inventory."

Really? I'm a millennial on about average wage and I save about 35 percent of my income. I consider myself quite frugal. My biggest expense is rent, which is about 25 % of my after-tax income. It seems pretty hard to do much better. I could provide a breakdown of my finances, which I track fastidiously. I cook all my own food and bring lunch to work every day. My weekly grocery bill is $70 USD. Those savings rates seem normal to me.

I have the added expense of flights every now and again since I'm working in the US but my girlfriend and family are in Australia. It's a temporary arrangement. But without that my savings rate would only be a little bit higher. Maybe 45% instead of 35%.

That's surprising. I would expect the Enterprise edition to perform as advertised. It's a major revenue source and this violates all kinds of security policies.

I find the author's point about people using third-party programs to stop Windows spying, and potentially impairing their security, very telling. He's absolutely correct.

I use programs called Shutup10 and WinAero Tweaker to stop the telemetry myself, and both of these programs have settings that would potentially impair your security, primarily by stopping Windows Updates entirely.

So the real question is this-- is this debacle the consumer's fault or Microsoft's? I know which side I'm on.
