Keep in mind this is a 32-bit system.

As a result it has at most 3.5 gigs of memory for the entire system, and e.g. on windows this will limit a single process to 2 gigs. If the sync client keeps some kind of in-memory representation of your files (a very reasonable thing to do for the vast majority of clients), and if you have 700,000 files, and assuming that folder references magically take up no space and that the sync client uses no other memory whatsoever, that's less than 3k per file representation before you crash.

If that is indeed contributing to the problem, it's most likely just a case of doing what's optimal for normal workloads, and simply not having engineered a backup solution for cases which fall so far outside of your expected usage that it didn't seem worth considering at the onset. This kind of change would also be very non-trivial to engineer, likely requiring a rather large amount of refactoring.
This discussion should be about empowering women.

Unused single-letter gTLD domains are still being offered, it would appear; although there is both an unspecified financial bar and some kind of .ORG values-alignment test: http://www.project94.org/

The values test is presumably not too onerous, if Facebook could pass it to acquire i.org (apparently unused).
In the US we have the EPA, which is tasked with protecting the environment. It is not tasked with optimizing the net social utility of humanity. So, the EPA does everything it can to help the environment, so as to fulfill its organizational directive, even if the human cost is vastly out of proportion with the environmental benefit.

My dream vision is that the government tries to bring about a practical approximation of the preconditions of the Coase theorem. This is very, very different from the piecemeal and economically unsound approach it is using right now.
I think this is more of an issue with GitHub not firing another webhook, than Travis. Travis just does what it's told.

> Is it so easy to say that's totally different from prostitution?

Indeed it is totally different. I don't understand how a reasonable person could honestly think this. I am not trying to be a jerk, it just seems disingenuous or incredibly ignorant. Are you sure you want your name attached to such a comment?

Let's spell this our pedantically:

The women we are discussing here were propositioned but turned the offer down. That is the exact opposite of prostitution. If anything being propositioned is a really good sign that you absolutely don't want to be in business with that person in any capacity. They very sensibly didn't tell anyone publicly, file any lawsuits, or press any charges because they didn't want to get blacklisted from the industry. It's the same reason you usually don't sue a landlord or former employer: People google your name, see the lawsuit, then drop your rental application / resume in the recycle bin. You can "win" the case only to end up losing big in the end. Even having a manufactured / fake controversy swirling around you can be damaging.

In fact this is the very root of the problem: some men feel entitled to treat women they come across as prostitutes whenever they feel like it. As if being a GP entitles them to offer introductions, favors, or money for sex.

(And to be extra pedantic: it is just a shitty if the GP is a woman hitting on a male founder. I can't imagine having someone dangle funding over my head to cheat on my spouse. It definitely tells you about their character though: they will continue to manipulate you to suit their fancy and toss you when they no longer have any need for you.)

This is a sure sign that China is one black swan event away from an economic collapse and possible Arab spring. Between the 300%+ gdp/debt ratio, stalled stock market, complete frozen capital control, second real estate bubble bursting in shanghai/tier1 cities, huge spike in shadow lending, Trump's 100 day ultimatum to China regarding trade deficit, demographics crisis, NK situation, south asia island situation, Foreign Direct Investments leaving China, protectionisms against China in europe/US/Japan, etc. The authoritarian Chinese government is starting to have some sense of fear now.
What you need is embedded microkernel expertise with some training in INFOSEC. Look up Nizza Secure-Systems Architecture paper for how to use such architectures well.
China could simply require business that use ssh to register and/or ssh through one of their firewall servers.
With China, there is a big difference between what is said, what is law and what is actually enforced.

What's likely to happen is that there will be a crack down, some satisfying numbers will be shown to officials, and then everything will become back to normal soon after.

There has been this kind of talk about cracking down on VPN before, and it's still available, so wait and see

Sounds like it could be ADHD, take a look at the DSM-5 Criteria for ADHD[0] (the same criteria that a doctor would use to diagnose you).

Here are the criteria for Inattention:

- Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, at work, or with other activities.

- Often has trouble holding attention on tasks or play activities.

- Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly.

- Often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (e.g., loses focus, side-tracked).

- Often has trouble organizing tasks and activities.

- Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to do tasks that require mental effort over a long period of time (such as schoolwork or homework).

- Often loses things necessary for tasks and activities (e.g. school materials, pencils, books, tools, wallets, keys, paperwork, eyeglasses, mobile telephones).

- Is often easily distracted

- Is often forgetful in daily activities.

Capitalism isn't defined as "non-centrally-planned economy", it's specifically privately-owned capital. If that private ownership is concentrated enough, then lots of things are pretty centrally planned. And non-capitalist economies include ones that aren't centrally-planned.

I find it really interesting that the idiomatic Haskell implementations (basically math) are the best-performing, while the Rust-like Haskell implementation (using an IORef) is orders of magnitude slower. This is exactly what I want: describe the logic of the operation, and leave the compiler to optimize for the hardware (in this case a CPU which mutates registers). The Rust implementation makes assumptions about the underlying hardware (has registers we can mutate), and is only about 15% faster than the Haskell implementation which makes no such assumptions.

In essence, this is why I love Haskell, and choose it over Rust: it allows me to write my application logic directly, without having to think about it in terms of mutation, and have the generated code be pretty fast. If GHC becomes well-optimized enough it can render Rust obsolete, since "no runtime overhead" becomes pretty meaningless if it's actually slower than Haskell (e.g. using LinearTypes, which removes need for GC). Rust can't render Haskell obsolete, however, since Haskell's goal is basically allowing you to write logic directly, using types as propositions and values as proofs. So Haskell's goal is a qualitative one (execute logic) while Rust's is a quantitative one (performance/no runtime overhead), which results in Haskell being able to take the place of Rust if GHC gains sufficiently in performance.

The EPA has mandated flow regulators on showers to save water. The end result is that showers in the US offer an inferior cleaning experience and I have to take longer showers anyway. I waste time, use similar amounts of water, and am less satisfied with my shower. The same is true for water pressure regulations in the US. You simply aren't allowed to have a good water pressure. This hurts especially for multi-story buildings because you can't increase pressure downstairs to get good pressure upstairs. You have to use an expensive pump, so almost no one bothers. I have to illegally drill out my shower heads, and as of yet I have been unable to find a way to get good water pressure.

Toilets jam more frequently and are less sanitary than they were without flush volume restrictions. I usually modify the float mechanism in my toilet to help fix this.

Basically, if water wastage is such a problem, we should let the price of water reflect its actual cost including externalities. No one would go thirsty, and people would be able to optimally choose the amount of water they use, rather than the government trying to dictate it.

Thanks to CARB regulations, it is illegal to have a well-functioning gas can. You are required to use these piece of shit overcomplicated "spill proof" mechanisms, which are not spill proof, are absurdly slow, and break constantly because they're so complicated. The one time I really needed a gas can, the piece of shit broke, something shot off into the trees under spring pressure, and the gas was stuck in the can. Since then, I always use a non-compliant "water can" to store gas. These actually work, and they spill less than the "spill proof" models.

It's illegal to use various effective cleaning solutions like TSP because there is some evidence that they contribute to algal growth in rivers. Modern cleaning products in the US are drastically inferior and you have to mix your own with bulk chemicals if you want a good clean. IIRC, the guy at the EPA responsible for this is on record as saying he wants everyone to go back to washing with vinegar, so there's another example of placing environmental interest over net human interest.

Another cleaning product I'm not allowed to use: hot water. To effectively and safely sanitize surfaces, water has to be at least 170 degrees Fahrenheit. It is illegal for domestic water heaters to go that high in the US. I would accept a legal default of e.g. 130F for safety reasons, but it should be up to me if I want to e.g. wire my kitchen with water suitable for sanitization. Instead you have to use chemical products like bleach. I'd prefer the risk of occasional mild water burns while cleaning over having to inhale bleach fumes all the time.

“If your whole business relies on us, you might want to pick a different one”
For anyone considering building a business as an integration provider on top of Embed.ly (the only way to get embedded on Medium), you may want to follow the advice from the founder, Sean Creeley, who just sent me this:

"If your whole business relies on us, you might want to pick a different one.".

TIMELINE:

1) I ask Embed.ly if the novelty factor (existing competitor) would be an issue before building an integration for them

2) They say it'd be ok, as long as the other guidelines are met

3) I spend a month building the initial MVP and send it for approval

4) The founder replies and instead of providing guidance on what should I change to get approved, accuses me of "copying someone else's work" and that "We aren't going to argue with you on this".

Make your own judgment.
Previously, there was an implicit understanding that the Great Firewall was in place to prevent unauthorised access to the Internet by the masses. This is to prevent them from being influenced by foreign media, prevent too much information leakage of citizen info (e.g. via facebook), and to give Chinese tech companies a monopoly in China.

If, however, you had the will and ability to use VPN software, the government usually turned a blind eye. Afterall, it was only a minority of people and they usually had a genuine need. In fact, this is what made staying in China tolerable. If this block does truly come into effect, they are essentially closing the door to the outside world.

China was a country of reasonable compromises before, but with Xi Jinping's nationalism, they are starting to think "why should we compromise at all?"
The Great Firewall blocks these no problem, not sure if you realize the scale of who and what you are dealing with.

There are enough side channels leaked trying to proxy an Internet connection through an encrypted tunnel, this is picked up on through Machine Learning or otherwise and it pretty effectively blocks many forms of escape. Read the parent article, let it soak in, and come back.

And from TFA, it looks like whatever China can't block through technology, they are blocking through politics.

The cost savings are negligible compared to the extra time wasted cleaning and inferior shower experience. I'm willing to pay an extra 5 cents for a good shower. If water conservation is really such an issue, make the price of water reflect that somehow. I'm willing to pay an extra X% if it means I actually get to choose how to use my water.

That's an interesting way to think of it; that the anti-building folks are just yesterday's hippies, having grown older, more moderate and self-interested.

Another way of looking at it is that political movements are coalitions. Sure, people who are really concerned about the environment and people who are really concerned about poverty and the welfare of the poor are both on the left of the political spectrum in America, but they are not really natural allies; those in poverty use a lot less resources than they would if they had middle-class incomes, and things like organic food are massively less efficient, meaning that choosing organic food, to the extent that it crowds out inorganic production, is raising the price of food, something that is largely irrelevant if you primarily care about the environment, but central if you primarily care about the poor.

(Of course, there is some agreement, I mean, the price of farmland forces the issue, but 'sustainable farming' is important for all; you don't want another dust bowl, but that's a problem that, from my understanding, is largely solved, outside of, say, cattle grazing on public land. No farmer wants to destroy the production capability of his or her land. )

I mean, I'm certain that was a biased example, but my point is just that there are a lot of competing interests within a particular political coalition, so quite often, apparent hypocrisy is simply the fact that different people and different sub-groups within a broad political movement have different and sometimes conflicting priorities and values.
Will your tool work on this puzzle though? I don't think so because it has backreferences.
That was never the official or even the implicit position. There has always been a war with VPNs, want VPNs work and don't can change monthly, and it's been like that for the last 10 years. Xi's nationalism is nothing new here, they just think that the tech is good enough to cut off VPNS for good now.

China has been trying to close their internet since after the Olympics. It isn't surprising that they would eventually succeed at it.

In principle I really like this way of developing, and especially prototyping, but as it stands right now Google is doing a significantly better job with their tools than Amazon.

Amazon got the same guts, but their presentation of these tools is horrendous. It's aimed at the highly skilled developers who would get the concepts in a blink, with the only problem that these are the same people who can spin out servers with more pleasure and probably in the same amount of time.

Google meanwhile, with their purchase of Firebase, makes some really appealing tools that are not just easy to use, but also easy to understand. Besides, their dev outreach is quite stunning, and so is the email support.

Would love to see Amazon compete, but they have a long road ahead.</2c>

I really wanted to put OpenBSD on this old X1 Carbon 1st gen I had. I had trouble getting the installation with full-disk encryption working. The peeps in #openbsd/freenode were amazingly helpful, but after a lot of debugging we came down to "Is your hardware working correctly? Have you tried to install anything else?"

I ended up putting FreeBSD on it and it worked great for a while. Then came the reboots, the lockups ... turns out I really should have run memtest86 first. The memory was bad; probably several other things too. I purchased it from a dodgy used shop and didn't realize all of this until past the 30 days. The memory on those models are soldered in too. I ended up eBaying it as a parts laptop.

Supposedly a fully functional X1 1st gen runs OpenBSD great. :-P

I am aware that most companies will automatically buy a certain amount of disability insurance for employees with option to buy more, often as a pre-tax deduction. These cover, afaik, something like $1 million in expenses for the specific circumstance of disability. However, I think the overall sub-thread was discussing healthcare. It is not clear to me that a long-term debilitating disease, such as (heaven forbid) cancer, would be covered adequately by such plans. Certainly, even healthcare prior to the Affordable Care Act could deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions or if there ever was any lapse of coverage; for such circumstances, assuming the disability insurance applied, the money would get spent pretty quickly. Real disability expenses are often much more expensive than anticipated - the referenced link [1] shows the expenses for Texas governor Gregg Abbott, who was disabled by a falling tree trunk while jogging at age 27; he managed to negotiate a pretty good settlement with the homeowner and you can see that his disability, for which he was too young or unprepared to have purchased disability insurance, had cost $6 million as of 2013.

My intent was to outline the fact that the US safety net is weak and there are plenty of corner cases that one could fall into from which recovery will be tough. Reduction in Medicaid will only worsen this. If you have coverage that you feel covers you in a majority of worst case scenarios, then you are in good shape but hopefully you are up to date on your read of the coverages. The Canadian safety net, in my opinion, saves one a little bit from this planning.
