Your last point rings especially true. There seems to be a whole class of people in the United States who, despite their professed love for the free market, refuse to consider any sort of marketplace of ideas when it involves public policy from other countries.

Like, its somehow completely incomprehensible to people that the Germans might have devised a better system for running trains (they build better trains, so not so far-fetched) or that the Japanese might have a better grasp on building quality public transportation than we do.

Rather, there's this idea that the American way of doing things must be the absolute best in every possible situation. Its a very damaging idea, and historically has led to stagnation and collapse (Qing dynasty China comes to mind as a great example of this).
My 5 cents... If you are reaching the edge point you dont know how to meditate.

I will recommend to read just few books for a start
1. Dao - Lao Tzu
2.The Willpower Instinct - Kelly McGonigal
3. The Art of War by Sun Tzu

you are not going to reach self-knowing or self-control using other people's thoughts. Everything good comes from the walked path, It takes time and practice.

And the way is not only to evolve from inside but from outside too, so "workout" daily is also important part.
You don't lose your data, you just lose the ability to upload more. You can still view, download, and delete your data.

8) What happens to my content if I choose not to renew into one of the new storage plans?

When your paid storage subscription expires, your account will be considered in an over-quota status if your content stored is greater than the free storage quota on your account. If your account is in an over-quota status, you will not be able to upload additional files, and can only view, download, and delete content.
I think robots are cool, but it is a bit depressing that a big driver for their development is that the japanese want to keep immigrants out... makes me a bit hesitant to wish them luck with it.
I've seen this situation multiple times, and yes the developers involved were competent. They were even well-meaning, and wanted to build something for the benefit of the company, not just their resumes.

I think the tendency to over-engineer and over-polish comes mostly from getting too invested in one particular project or task. The developers have "professional pride" - they want to deliver software that has good architecture, high test coverage, easy to understand and maintain code, reliable, scalable, etc.

This means competent developers are very tempted to continue working on a project as long as there are possible improvements to it, even if these improvements do not make business sense. Nobody wants to admit that "cron job that fails once per month" is a sufficient solution when they can see a better solution, and go work on the next hacky cron job instead.

He's also the author of "Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics", which is a nice book that covers a lot of the fundamental topics and is a useful book to have in your library for reference if you do any 3d graphics, game or physics programming. It doesn't go too deep into the subjects, but it's a nice to have anyway.

He has done lots of work on the field, so there are quite a few contributions he has made.

> if you're paying your mortgage every month you're leveraged less and less each successive month right (as you pay off principal and accumulate equity)? Would that change the calculation?

Yes. But you can keep your leverage ratio the same by upsizing every few years and remortgaging when you do. As you get towards retirement you generally delever but that's what you would want to be doing anyway (sacrificing some return for lower risk).
The common case of "bundling" is just concatenating files, which works fine if people add their damned semicolons.

To quote the author: "not using any semicolons at all is a very popular trend in JS these days, so it is very possible this problem might happen in the real world"

This is the crux of the problem. Javascript programmers often follow trends, not sane practice. Looking at the code, for some reason there's a semi-colon before "require" invocations as well.

I don't even know what to say, at this point. Everyone is fired.
Dear product owners, do not hold your team to their estimates
I agree with you. It is natural to think that this is a simple problem - give money to the very best university and get the best research. Unfortunately, like many things, it's not quite that simple.

Is there any reason to think that research at MIT has been limited by lack of funding? That seems highly implausible to me. And if the answer is that MIT could hire additional researchers to do more research with that money, those researchers can do the same research with that money at many other schools.

It's not clear to me that giving the money to MIT will result in any more research, and a good chance that it will result in less, because researchers at other universities currently are limited by financial constraints.

Well I guess it was a bit too good to be true.

Ardent pro-Remain/anti-Brexiteer here.

It's simple. Trump can go away in 4 years, or possibly less, if you fight him hard enough. So people are fighting him.

Fighting Brexit, however, requires that you, in the eyes of the public, permanently (since Brexit isn't temporary) dismiss the most pure form of democracy that the British ever get access to: the referendum.

The Liberal Democrats have merely suggested having a second referendum on the negotiated Brexit deal and they're getting called all sorts/undemocratic/blah blah, so people like me might as well be undemocratic authoritarian dictators in the eyes of a newly validated, right-wing nationalist populace.
> it's important in the understanding of sexism to keep in mind that the discrimination can swing both ways.

It could (and may even happen in small systems), but in reality, women are the ones with significantly less power. But it's also important to remember that not every discrimination is sexism. For example, sexual discrimination designed to correct an already existing imbalance of power is the opposite of sexism (regardless of whether or not you find it just).
The matrix feels really rather cargo-culty to me. If deployment is pushing one file then use scp. If it's coordinating a world wide fleet of servers, use something more sophisticated.

Agreed. And critically, if you can stay in a world where scp deployment (or something comparably simple) is working well, that's a good thing.
For opensource standards the instructions look pretty okay? Looks similar to instructions for projects like Mattermost, OTRS, etc.

Dan Goodin has been writing articles about technology for many years now. How does he manage to keep doing so in such utterly incomprehensible fashion? I mean, I get that it's not intended for an audience of seasoned network engineers, but I don't see how it would leave a layman with a useful impression, either...
Hated but worth :)
It matters. Anything except a truly random sample of the population (essentially impossible) invalidates the statistical guarantees of polling. Consequently, polling involves a large number of processes to both get the most representative sample possible, then adjusts the results to reflect the biases they are aware of. This is something of an artistic process, and is one reason why pollsters have house effects/biases: they each do things slightly differently.

Having said that, the general feeling is that online polls are as reliable as offline polls nowadays after these adjustments have been made, partly because polling by telephone has a well-established set of biases associated with it too.
I've started considering if maybe we're reaching "peak-advertising" or if we will at some point.

TV has become unwatchable in the later years, so here I would expect the advertising driven model to fail at some point. The Internet has the benefit of adblocks, but still the content is saturated by ads. It stands to reason that at some point the users/customers will be pushed too far and there will be a backlash.
Being willing to share space almost always ends up cheaper.

A bunch of students, for example, can generally outbid a family with 2 workers and 3 kids for a large place. And the students have way lower standards usually. No moral commentary there, just an observation. Fortunately they are generally not after the same spaces.

IMHO it actually sucks when property owners try to hoover up what I'd call the "space sharing discount" by renting out rooms on individual leases in a place where most of the space is shared. The culture (or not) is the thing which makes that arrangement work, and I don't feel like they should get to monetise that.

I believe there are an increasing number of startups operating on exactly this premise though :/
That link is borken.
My backup contains files and old versions of files I no longer have on the primary storage. It is much more than a 1:1 copy, and can not be recreated.

I need to feel safe that I can reasonably undo my changes on the primary storage, even if it takes me years to realise what I did.

This is why I keep two backups. Until now, the secondary offsite copy was on ACD...
That map is just awsome in so many ways. Where is Denmark and Sweden though? Romans just didn't think there was anything up there? Nothing? Way too cold up there for people to live?
> Do you think the CEO of GE is really more afraid of the shareholders than the mayor of some city in Kansas? Politicians are plenty accountable.

This actually suggests the opposite - that both politicians and CEOs are not accountable enough!
> This is just arguing semantics at this point

I disagree. If someone responds to an imagined accusation, it is important to explain to him that no one has accused him of what he believes he's been accused, because once people understand that, they become less defensive and angry.

> male victims of domestic violence don't get help

That's certainly very bad and requires addressing, but it isn't a problem on the same scale at all. The fact that women outnumber men significantly as victims of domestic violence clearly demonstrates that the problem as a whole harms women much more.

> or that only men can be compelled to die or get mutilated in war

If you think that on the whole men lost more power than women in wars, then you need to review your history. Although, it is true that in some cases male absence did lead to an increase in power to women back home, but the scale still tips very strongly in men's favor. It is also true that women today have more power than 100 years ago, but we're still far from achieving equality, and the gains were precisely due to constant political struggle against sexism.

> we would presumably be close to agreeing that these are good examples of power imbalances.

If we both start with ten toys, I take five of yours and you take one of mine, we cannot say that the one you took from me is an example of an imbalance of power in your favor.

There can certainly be conflicts where a man is more harmed than a woman, but sexism is a global quality of the system, not necessarily a property of each and every interaction.
I was amused to realise that Turkey (the animal) has a wide range of different names, often a country foreign to the language.

i.e in Turkey they call Turkey Indian, in Portugal they call it Peru, in Malay it's a Dutch Chicken.

I don't think government projects being more expensive than private projects simply is an impression created by the media. Sure, private project failures aren't bandied about as much (though sometimes they still are, especially if a failure simply is too spectacular not to be talked about), simply because they often aren't interesting to the general public. However, save for downright cover-ups project failures are usually known to the stakeholders.

Government projects starting with too low an estimate is a well-known but deeply unethical practice. Everyone involved knows that the finished project will be above budget yet there's a silent agreement to not say anything because once the public realises there's a problem it's already too late to cancel the project and the project has to continue whatever the final costs may be. That's the common argument anyway. It's a bit like the 'too big to fail' fallacy. So, we keep throwing good money after bad because we're afraid of the consequences of admitting failure.
It's exactly that kind of unethical behaviour that should be punishable by disciplinary action in order to disincentivise civil servants from going down that road in the first place.

Finally, I suppose the larger the organisation the more lack of accountability becomes a problem. You see that with larger companies where projects often regularly are over time and budget as well. However, I still think that those in leadership positions in larger private organisations are more accountable. While there are misaligned incentives in these organisations, too (like CEOs getting a bonus or a generous severance package even though they performed badly) there are two crucial differences here: A company goes out of business if it runs out of money. It's also much easier to hold you both civilly and criminally liable if you overstepped your boundaries.

When was the last time a state or city went out of business due to lack of funds? When was the last time a politician actually did time for embezzling and deliberately wasting tax money?

Especially since that would be blatantly false. The entire thing revolves around enforcing that your internet usage ISN'T restricted. Which is why the phrasing is both positive AND accurate.

Maybe not, but then again I wouldn't consider the CEO of GE as somebody leading a private entity in the sense of the argument.
Really good point. Thanks.

As you pointed out, the understanding of the word "meditation" is not shared by all the people.

To prevent some kind of bias from applying to the person, and knowing that on average, these ideas are going to bring fears like "I don't want to be a monk", "I don't want to be weird", I prefer to separate the concepts far away from the word from the beginning, even before the thought of association appears in the mind.

For that, and without knowing the audience, I prefer to go to the concept first and forget about the word or start and endless discussion about what the word really means that most times bring us far away from the initial topic.

You probably saw the same with feminism. It is easier to talk about the concepts behind, without referring to it, than start a discussion about what feminism really is. Right?

Do you think this makes sense?

I'm with you, but I still end up using notebooks because I haven't found anything better for doing analysis. The two things I want the most are:

The weird thing is that the constitution actually tasks the Postal Service with interstate messaging.

Modern bid books will state that being environmentally friendly or causing fewer interruptions (a $12 million bid that keeps all roads open likely is the better choice compared to a $10 million one that requires you to close a buy crossing for a year) weighed in choosing a supplier.

That means you will have to scrap any strict "lowest bid wins" laws. You also need public servants who know what they are talking about, and can filter out both bids that are too good to be true (you don't want the winner of the tender to go bankrupt half-way through the project or to use materials that are barely good enough) and bids that are insanely high.

One fairly recent innovation that apparently works well is to put out a tender for the combination of construction and x years maintenance.

That will get you bids from consortia consisting of a construction companies, companies specializing in cleaning, and companies specializing in maintenance.

So, what's the difference? Those companies will talk to each other before the design is finalized. You will get proper weighing of "is that paint truly cheaper in the long run?" and "if you add a few hooks to that bridge deck, we won't have to spend a week every five years building scaffolding so that we can inspect the bridge".

As anectodal information: I know a community of people who share movies. In the past few months, abusing ACD to move their personal, encrypted movie collections (which go up to many terabytes) was definitely a fad. There was automation written to allow for streaming movies directly from ACD. A popular resource point was https://www.reddit.com/r/PlexACD/comments/6bmt9s/a_framework...

As long as Amazon's API could allow for accessing the storage space in a drive-like manner, they were open for abuse. For me the writing was on the wall.

My Startup Gps Excursion. Any Thoughts?
Hi All!
First of all , thanks for everybody who will at least read this post to the end , )
I'm working on my final project that already became a kind of start up , and I'll appreciate your feedback to do it better.
So how you can help me ?
Navigate to the links , and provide your feedback , recommendations in comment to via the direct.

But if something , just ask in comments I'll reply.

And the very next paragraph

You have a 180-day grace period
to either delete content to
bring your total content
within the free quota, or to
sign up for a paid storage plan.
After 180 days in an over-quota
status, content will be deleted
(starting with the most recent
uploads first) until your
account is no longer over quota

So if you have more than 30TB stored (the new maximum), you have 189 days after your current subscription expires to get it off before it's auto deleted.
