This used to be called "gray market" (grey?) items. Items that are imported not through official channels (for example camera lenses that are often for sale from the bigger dealers in NYC).

There is no warranty, but the lenses are cheaper (due to currency values and the price the companies set it can be a little cheaper, but sometimes a lot cheaper). In the old days the prices in magazines for equipment where in 2 columns, US and imp (imported by us).

In your case you bought the computer overseas an brought it in yourself.

For example Nikon doesn't want you buying gray market and set up a page to try to deter people:
https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-store/gray-market.page

Some places that sell gray market lenses will cover the warranty for you in place of the manufacturer (probably a good bet, the if the items are well made and they have an in house repair)

If your workload can generally run in a non-distributed manner, then the operational overhead of dealing with Spark versus simpler paradigms will be expensive. That has been my first hand experience.
There's beyond HDR, you can switch between multiple penetration levels and do automatic detection of materials even with ones made 2 decades ago. None of this is really new, insightful, or particularly revolutionary.
Those are host devices. My wife's and my external CD/DVD burner, USB DAC, Arduino, external hard drives, iPhone 7 Plus, two iPads, half-dozen flash USB drives, various controllers, external keyboards and mice, wireless non-Bluetooth mouse adapters, laser printer, et c., et c will mostly still be working just fine in 2 years, and all connect over USB-A. I'm guessing I'll only have one or two USB-C things by then unless I decide to drop a ton of money replacing lots of perfectly-good equipment.

[EDIT] I'd add: yeah, we have some USB-C Android phones at work. Most of them have... USB-A on the other end of the cable that came with them (there's one exception).
A 0 hidden layer NN is just a linear (or logistic) regression.

On MNIST I think you get something like 60% accuracy.
Yeah, the anonymous accused get sent straight to the gulag.
Smarter people will be at least harder to propagandize, brainwash and so on.
I see the memo author is former US Dept State diplomatic security. I always thought of State DS agents in terms of personal protection and not so much counterintelligence and investigations. Guess I was wrong. I would have expected to see a senior ex-FBI or former IC community member in this role.
What do you do with all your eggs and how many eggs per day do you get per 100 birds?

We are fortunate that we don't have a snake problem. We do have red and golden hawks though and they fly around after our neighbors chickens. They haven't lost one to hawks yet though as they have a large guard dog which seems to be effective.
Do you know what Pro Go players play for fun? Catan :)

Once you step into the professional aspect, you do not enjoy the game anymore. Its a passion thing. If you wanted to spend more time on the board at any point, it would be studying, not goofing around playing.

> But fun is probably what got you guys into this game, right?

Hardly. Almsot all professional players were exposed to the game at 4 years old, more like indoctrination. And as a grown up, if you start late (like I did, at 16), when you dream of professionality, the joy goes away, its more like a passionate driven goal of self sacrifice.
In my country you can fire everybody all the time. Of course the literal wording in the law is different. So the lawyers will figure out how much money your employer needs to pay you after. The major question for the employer therefore is not whether or not he can fire, but whether or not he can afford the budget cut.
wow, I did not know this. Thanks, I am bookmarking this one.
Precision 5520 has the same chassis as XPS. Dell's laptops used to have coil whine issue and quality control seems to be bad at least during the past few years. This is a strong competitor of the XPS https://www.notebookcheck.net/Gigabyte-Aero-15-7700HQ-GTX-10... and this is a competitor on the workstation area http://store.hp.com/wcsstore/hpusstore/pdf/HP_ZBook_Studio_G...
Nevertheless, zero has always existed.

The mathematical anti-realist would disagree.

Likewise, all human beings have always had fundamental rights [...]

Where do they come from? How did we discover them?
I've been thinking of building an automated coop door closer. Can you link me to some more info on yours?
> are just liberties we've decided we like especially well

Why do we like them? Why wouldn't we prefer to be slaves? Where do our modern intuitions about rights come from? Whatever the origin of the "like especially well" that you mention, that origin seems fundamental. If you study all the peasant revolts, going back thousands of years, you'll note how naturally people invent the language of rights -- it seems to arise spontaneously during each revolt.

And why do people revolt? You can't simply assume that they don't like being raped and enslaved -- you have to explain why they don't like being raped and enslaved. And whatever your explanation is of their feelings, that is the origin of rights.
It would be better if scripts like jquery were not encrypted. This forces users to use e.g. a google service instead of caching/hosting the scripts themselves or getting them from another CDN. I do not understand why so many people do not consider the privacy implications of every single webpage requiring calls to google services. There are ways to avoid this, but it gets a lot more complicated when that requires MITM methods for SSL. Please: use a non-tracking CDN, host it yourself, or at least leave it HTTP.
my wife was afraid of killing them through some error or omission. We had one little runt (30% smaller than all the others) that we were sure was doing poorly. It refused to move and just sat uncomfortably under the heat lamp chirping like it's life depended on it.

Then yesterday it started behaving normally and is doing great apart from being small. Inexplicably, the same day, I found one of the big healthy black orpington chicks lying unmoving next to the feeder and it perished an hour later.
There are a ton of things to consider for overall accessibility however one thing developers can do with limited knowledge of accessibility concepts is to use the keyboard to interact with your site(s). Can keyboard-only users complete all the tasks a mouse user can? If there are mouse-driven event handlers on controls, are there redundant keyboard event handlers where applicable? Are labels explicitly associated with form fields? Do images provide proper textual equivalents? Do color schemes provide sufficient color contrast per WCAG (https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-cont...)?
True, it's one thing to convince your employer to let you work remotely. It's a totally different thing to convince a new employer to hire you remotely.
I'm leaving the midwest because there are too few opportunities for the work I do. I'll be fighting it out in NY soon.

Agree. I looked at Kafka a while back for an IoT backend. Settled on RabbitMQ and a Ruby worker pool. It handled something like 10x our expected load on one $1k unix surplus node.
Yeah they have the only quality, reasonably priced vertical mouse. I have a bunch of them, wireless and wired.
And the fact that it's on that list suggests that the recipient didn't like it. Why call someone a name they don't like? Who gets anything out of that interaction?
Agreed that pair programming is great to get productive ASAP. That's what I did in my current job. Instead of working on some minor things alone I asked my team-mate to pair with me on a task which was most important/valuable at the time. We spent few weeks working together on various things, and they were quite surprised that I was able to get up to speed so quickly.

If you are fan of pair-programming this may be really good opportunity to introduce this technique to your new team. Since then, we use it whenever we feel it will help.
Your comment is not about Haskell but about static typing. I agree with you but there is no need to learn Haskell to enjoy static typing.
Just as an aside. I discovered recently that Instagram's web interface (at least on mobile) allows you to upload images. It's a pretty basic offering, but it suits my needs and I've unistalled the app as a result.
I fail to see the difference between a startup and a normal software shop in this context.
Go, at least, has a built-in map object.

"Making quarter inch holes" is a feature, yes, but the benefit goes beyond that... picture a quarter inch drill bit that just drilled the hell out of everything, driied at the perfect location, drilled to the perfect depth, never needed sharpening, looked better, made you look better, made your coworkers respect you, and made your boss happy to give you a big raise. Now, wouldn't that drill bit be worth a few extra bucks?
I responded in another comment.
Thanks. Comments like that about open source, helps me keep things in perspective whenever I struggle to understand something.
Those that aren't "strict" in certain areas.
Examples:

* Those without memory management (I'm not talking about garbage collection, though there seems to be a correlation). Buffer overflows/overruns and its cousins have caused many security flaws, including heartbeat and even flaws in java, where it interops with C programs for performance's sake.

* Syntactical leniency wrt. scope can lead to errors like apple's infamous "goto fail"
Unfortunately I need to stay on the app itself quite a bit, respond to queries etc. A bit of a side marketing/promotion business that is taking off.
I should know better by now, but I'm still surprised by the relentless pursuit of the shiny that some teams get mired in and even more so that their management allows them to do it.

There are an awful lot of problems that can be solved with a simple Postgres instance running on RDS.
This advice doesn't seem to be getting through regardless of how loudly it is proclaimed. Everyone should have a backup plan with multiple points of failure, but of course lots of people don't because it's not trivial to set that up.

I don't think current operating systems go anywhere near far enough in helping users to get this right. When I buy a computer, the computer should be in charge of ensuring that catastrophic data loss cannot easily occur. 9 times out of 10, the user simply doesn't know how to set things up that way.
The US doesn't have a long history of oppressing people who use fake tan sprays so the two really aren't comparable.
I've been casually investigating hemp as a carbon fixer, as a hobby. I think paired with bamboo it could provide both sustainable materials for much of life's needs along with a terrific ability to fix atmospheric carbon. If nothing else the plant material can be bio-charred upon post-harvest and processing.

Also been looking at bamboo and hemp for things like water/soil/air purification, though it's all very casual.
ITs another philosophical debate about what is strategy and what is tactics.

Tactics is a specific sequence of attack, with very well defined steps and a defined outcome. A strategy is a general guideline to guide overall decisions, with a general goal but without a specific objective.

AlphaGo cant say "I will play a territorial game from now on because the strength of my positions is enough to reduce the opponents influence". Alpha can say "Territory 56%, Influence 54%". Alpha Go makes tactical decisions.
It is completely lapable, but typing on keyboard without anything underneath is a bit weird. I hope they upgrade the SurfaceBook next.
What scientific justification?

"Well, because Chimpanzees are less intelligent than humans, they don't deserve to live, so we can exterminate them."??

That's so obviously bullshit it barely even warrants discussion. Inferiority of a species or even individual does not provide any justification for destroying that species/race/individual.
not java for sure, all the kotlin shilling everywhere
> You can't own human beings, because it violates their fundamental rights. This was true back when slavery was "legal".

It really wasn't. We would like it to have been, but at the risk of stating the obvious, it's not an inalienable, fundamental right if someone can take it from you without fear of repercussion. Slavery was legal -- the scare quotes add nothing. The difference between legal and "legal" here is just personal ethics.

Now, we can of course decide to proceed today as though the laws were never legitimate, and offer reparations, for example. Or in the case of the Nazis, as you mention, to try them for crimes committed in the past. It's worth noting though that the Nuremberg trials were very controversial for exactly that reason -- many people sympathetic with the desire to punish the Nazis were extremely uncomfortable with the idea of trying people for violating international laws that didn't exist at the time of the offenses (or only existed in treaties the Germans never signed). We did it anyway because, well, they deserved it, but it's far from the truth to say that it was a routine application of some tradition in which there are some laws that are so fundamental they need not be stated anywhere. And as a matter of constitutional law, we strictly prohibit doing that in our own legal systems.
> And why do people revolt?

Relative deprivation?

XPS 13" has convertible model. Nowadays Precision laptops come with the same chassis as XPS, nothing premium there as XPS is the regular multimedia laptop. I'd recommend before getting Dell's laptop to first go through the owners comments at the Amazom/reddit/etc, I saw many complaints about quality control and the coil whine problem, so for me Dell is not an option.
As you said, usually it is enough, but people tend to (over)design and plan for scale, and Kafka does become a better solution above a limit. Shall you touch it, that's another topic. I wouldn't say that it is a rare occasion that you absolutely need Kafka, but a less frequent one, surely. Also I don't think it is a terrible miss to use it if you need a queue with reasonably high demands from it. You'll mostly waste operations efforts and development time. The end result will not differ too much.

Nevertheless, the case from above is a very extreme case of over engineering and premature optimization. To the limit where would qualify it as reckless.
It's an i5-6300U at 2.4 GHz. 1 socket, 2 cores, 4 logical processors.
I snarkily want to say "because Google has no idea what it's doing with messaging", but that's probably being too strong. It's a solid question to ask, that it needs to be asked I think points to the conundrum of messaging from the perspective of a consumer regarding Google products.

I'll say this much, the constant moving around of platforms and products around messaging, and the eventual announcement that Hangouts would be killing off SMS support for anyone who wasn't a Google Fi subscribe or a user of a Google Voice number is what finally pushed me to drop Android and buy an iPhone.

How to Protect Your Customer's Payments – IVR Technology Group
Yubikeys (both two-factor and very long static passwords, with pins) go a long way. And a handful of Yubikeys handed out to your staff is cheaper than a data breach.

It's not protection from idiocy, but if you're a Microsoft shop, default long passwords avoid stuff that Microsoft is rather coy about (e.g., LANMAN hash attacks against passwords < 14 characters long are still a thing, sigh).
Those corporations provide the goods and services that makes life liveable for 7.3 billion people on this planet. I'm curious what other alternatives to capitalism and firms (to use Ronald Coase's term) would have been able to achieve and sustain a quality of life equal to or better than what these 7.3 billion currently enjoy. Capitalism is the basis of the quality of life for 7.3 billion humans on Earth. Telling yourself otherwise is just lying to yourself.
Like I said, if I it was my choice, I'd use MonetDB - that screams. But it has operational deficits, like experimental replication. I'd also look further into MemSQL than is visible on their website.

The reason I don't load it into memory and operate on it directly is because it's analytics as a service; I don't particularly want to write a SQL parser and execution engine.

We have looked at things like Zeppelin for more interactive data manipulation, using Spark to keep stuff in memory. But building a UI around that is an open-ended rabbit hole.
Wow, I actually have no idea if gwern was being sarcastic or not. I didn't consider it until I read your comment. There's a few clues in there that do suggest sarcasm, but I really can't tell, because I know nothing about the field.

I don't think they were being sarcastic though, because the rest of their replies are pretty serious.
The space of people needing >16gb are typically looking at more fully-fledged workstations, is maybe the idea here? Not that an upgrade option wouldn't be good, it just seems a bit at odds with the surface's goals
What? Stackoverflow has been around since ~2008 - You certainly didn't learn how to solve things yourself a year into programming :).
Shameless plug: Elvish (https://github.com/elves/elvish) is a shell with a rich UI.

The idea of enriching shell's UI is not new though, zsh and fish are both prior arts.

Why not fly just an encrypted SSD with the game and buy desktop at the location?
I wonder if the easiest way of doing that wouldn't be to compare checksums? Saves having to re-download portions of a backup set, which could potentially get expensive in terms of bandwidth costs, and has the disadvantage of only confirming whatever files you are looking at.
>It does not matter who it was designed for, git is the de-facto VCS that almost everyone uses today. And people are having trouble using it because there is no better alternative: it is fast and powerful and used by many companies.

It _does_ matter who it's designed for. If someone outside the target audience uses it, then it's not the tools fault for not accomodating them. My point is that the UX is great for those it's meant to be great for.

>I use git for 10 years and I have to Google every time I need to make a branch tracking a remote one.

git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream/master master

Didn't have to look this up. Seems pretty straightforward. Or just git push -u upstream master.

>git reset does different things based on what type of object you pass.

So? I don't see how this is a bad UX. Would you prefer 10 different commands? I wouldn't.
Unless you’ve been hiding in a container for the past few months, you’ve probably heard of Kubernetes (often called K8),

That's funny, but last I checked, Kubernetes is often referred to as K8s, not K8.
I'd say we need both.
I am currently building out a wizard for the next version of my side project. One other benefit not directly spelled out is the idea of progress.

If you look at how linkedin utilizes the progress indicator, it creates a natural tendency to want to complete the profile for many of the users.
You say all that in hindsight.
Mimics? At last check, none of Apple's laptops had full touch screens or supported a stylus. If you're talking about design or style, you might be able to argue that.
>It's hard to imagine he suddenly started harassing women sixteen years in

Why?
> Java was the right language at the right time. That's why it was so successful.

any moderately-usable language with a free, cross-platform compiler and a full batteries-included library for everything and support for every major platform and a major vendor pushing it and the kind of global marketing PR (The Official Programming Language of Canada!) would have seen the same success as Java at the time.

The quality of the language design itself was "passable" at best, but that's all it needed to be with the forces it had pushing it and the market conditions at the time.
As a relatively new player I do find losses extremely upsetting very often, unless I've only lost by a few points against someone at the same level as me; I guess I have some learning to do :)
It's not necessarily devs pushing for hyped technologies that don't fit the business problem.

Half- or nontechnical managers often follow tech hypes as well and may push for the project to use "Big Data technology" simply because it makes them feel more important to lead a project that is part of the hyped topic.
There's a subtle difference between Hadoop (the platform / ecosystem) and Hadoop MapReduce (tasks that run on Hadoop). It's the latter that is being referenced in the comparison.

Yes debuggers and profilers. I swear by it.
I actually think the "bombing other countries" is just a horrible side effect of the MIC system that is designed to absorb a tremendous amount of wealth and filter it to those corporations. They have us all living in fear while they create the enemies. As we saw in the UK yesterday, all that spending did not prevent another horrific suicide bombing.

We need real defense, not corporate welfare.
My current laptop is an ASUS ROG but I'm waiting to see who else is competing, I kinda want hardware that'd be most likely to have better Linux support.
Honestly, you also must factor out the price of distributed computing, and take into account the fact that processing power and disk size have increased a lot in that timeframe also.

Then you don't need a new OS/Platform/Ecosystem with FS (hdfs)/ Scheduler / Applications to maintain, host and secure to compute thing that could be done with local scripts, or even java / cython programs. or distribute on a few servers what can (often) be distributed easily.

that still covers most of the use cases.
Yes, but that still doesn't make much sense. That particular part of the homepage hasn't been updated in ages and refers to the MR part.

This reminds me of that whole group think talk that was going on in the news a number of years ago.

People who are only exposed to the same things tend not come up with ideas outside of the group.
This doesn't seem to be a real Q and A from the people in the article.

A comment from Victor Volkman (going by username at least) at the end of the article (one of the people "interviewed" in the article):

"Although I'm flattered to have my comments included in this article. I must point out it was mined from several different Quora articles about unrelated topics. At no point was I contacted as to whether I wanted to participate in this article. I would have appreciated the courtesy of a "heads up". I'm not hard to find as they posted at least three of my social media contact links."
Well can you make any sort of case for a causal arrow to support your dismissal? Because there is a case for a causal arrow in your dismissal target, given the article we're commenting on. The bar has been raised for "we said, they said" so you'll have to try a bit harder than assertively blaming environment.
