If anyone else is curious, FedEx generally won't insure a shipment for more than $50,000 without a special contract so we can assume it is more than that amount.

My completely uneducated guess would be in the $100k-$250k range.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I think that's called a personal day here in the states. They usually give you two a year too, along with sick days.

Though I do agree, that there's stigma towards taking it for personal sanity, mind healing.
I would agree that it would not be scalable or fair to LetsEncrypt to police all of them. Would it be feasible to maybe just police the top 50 or top 100 financial institutions?
Java is a decent language for its time, with a bad default tool set and a development culture that leans very heavily towards J2EE-style verbosity (javascript is trending that way now too, w/ angular, react, etc).

The JVM, however, is a national treasure.

If you have to advertise that much to get me to be a customer, then you're essentially telling me your user experience is shit, and your product/service is shit, and the only way to get customers that you haven't poisoned with a bad experience is to constantly spam.

How does that follow? Say a company provides an excellent service and 100% of their customers return and they're growing quite a bit by word of mouth, but they want to grow even faster. Why wouldn't they advertise as well?

I'm not saying BA is good (or bad), by the way. I don't even live in the US, I have no idea.
Weird UI effect (I'm using Chrome 59): When the blue loading bar at the top of the page completes, I get popped back to the top of the page, regardless of where I've scrolled to. Bar finishes loading after ~3-5 seconds.
That's possible (and we'd take that into account in interviewing, as would any sensible company).

It's also possible that he's a "really nice guy" and close friend of theirs and they're blind to his weakness.

It's also possible that he's a very strong contributor in a domain and skillset that the hiring company simply doesn't need.
The problem is that they couldn't get away with it. Most of the stuff I listen to on SoundCloud is available on other platforms which are free and run by companies that can afford to take a loss (YouTube) or on services I already pay for (Spotify, DI.fm).

I'm also greatly disappointed that they seem to have settled on 128kbit MP3 as the peak of quality.
Always thought why didn't we have some super complex standard for weight when we had one for length and time. Now my thoughts have become reality. Though since I am non sciencey, It makes me ask Why so long?
Hmm... some software doesn't recognize multilevel wildcards and rejects the certificate, but I don't think it requires any hardware changes (unless we're talking about hardware TLS accelerators). Basically, browsers and other TLS clients have to implement RFC 6125 if they still don't.

Edit: my mistake, RFC6125 actually seem to forbid those (I thought it was allowing them - was wrong). That's sad. Guess, there is just no way to have TLS for what I want. Have to stick with plain HTTP.

SV Delos is one of the first "Watch Us Sail Around the World" You Tube Channels. They got in earlier and they do go to some great places and have some great adventures. Most sailing channels are, "Look at us, we're in the Bahamas, drinking beer!"

It also helps that Delos has a great crew and they do rotate in a group of good looking women who don't have problems with getting topless or naked and it not have it be sexual.
According to [1],

> "At boot time, a unique kernel is built and installed for the next boot"

Therefore, if the building code is itself trusted it can make a checksum and sign it. So each boot can verify the next boot, in a blockchain-ish way.

> Why can't it just be a personality thing...

For the same reason a cold isn't "just my body." Just like a virus can put your body in a bad state, so too can various stimuli to your mind. You don't just chalk it up to "how things are", you attempt to resolve it. For a cold, your body does that on it's own and you mostly just wait it out. Mental health issues can be similar (I'm just feeling off today), or they might require some effort on the part of the sick person to resolve. Either way, you don't treat it as a personality quirk, as that undermines the severity of the issue (it really is a health issue) and implicitly shifts the blame to the person who is sick[0].

> When you start labelling it mental health, all you're doing is self-diagnosing yourself...

I don't see it as any different than self-diagnosing your cold as a physical ailment. Sometimes people are not capable to doing meaningful work due to their mental state, and people should feel comfortable saying that they need a sick day for their mental health.

[0]: Which, it could be their fault. But ideally we want to describe issues without implying blame. But just like you could unable to work due to a hangover, you could knowingly put yourself into a scenario that you know (or should know) will put you in a bad mental state.

Edit: Forgot the dirty laundry quote. I want to comment on that too.

> It's not controversial, there's even a term for it - airing dirty laundry.

Airing dirty laundry is providing "too much information", saying "I need a sick day for mental health" doesn't strike me as an inappropriate amount of detail anymore than "I need a sick day for physical health". I suppose you could shorten it to "I need a sick day" if knowing any more information is too much.

>Why would Amazon decide to compete with a paid product against a free one, when there's no benefit to the consumer to warrant paying?

They compete with free Cloudflare caching today. And free DNS services. And much cheaper VPS services. There are various reasons customers might choose low cost over free.

For me, since I use ACM already, for AWS hosted resources, I would appreciate the advantage of using it for other resources. Even ones on AWS, like a cert on a Lightsail instance, for example.

I say artificial because all that's missing really is a link to download the cert.

Current model assumes one car per person. That's because only one person can drive a car.

How many self driving Teslas could be needed to meet transportation demand for just the US. A lot more than a million.

If Tesla can actually deliver a mass produced self driving car while everyone is still figuring out how to make electric cars with good mileage then they become the next Toyota. Just like Apple became the next Nokia.
Just because there are scenarios where you'd want a fourth doesn't invalidate the desire to want a third. There are more situations where a third arm would be helpful than where a fourth would be. The more arms, the fewer situations apply.
Hire the agency to provide a team. Request that the team work onsite. After a while, offer people to jump ship to your company. If there is a clause in the contract preventing poaching, consider that financial penalty a commission.

Happened to an agency I once worked at. We sent 6 people (4 were full time, 2 were contract) to a client to work on their project. After a year, none of the 6 people were still with the agency. The contractors were let go after the contract expiration, 3 of the 4 full timers took jobs with the client, and I left for another company.

At my job we get PTO and holidays (floating depending on the year), but no specific sick days.

Apologies for any naivete.
While most guides/books on initial setting up sshd explain the usual stuff - e.g.: allow only key auth, no root ...etc.

Changing ssh port from standard (I literally forgot, is it 22?) to something else is one of those things you pick up in the field.

Usually only once you actually had to maintain production servers. And hopefully before some of the fancy things (e.g.: port-knockers) failed and locked you out :)

Changing port is super simple to configure and yet it cuts out 99.9% of noise (if not 100%) from brute-force attempts that otherwise might make you ignore alarms ...

Human error was much more common. But they did have another tool for reconciling trades that was better. It was web based and auto reconciled most things that were obvious matches. I don't recall why, but they were not too concerned with mistakes so long as we could fix them by the end of business. I think it was because that's when clients would see something was off on their statement/account. There was never a concern of losing money. I wish I could remember why, but this is my cumulative experience in banking industry and I quickly forgot everything I learned.

And according to Wikipedia generics were added to Java in 2004, so that gives some baseline. JSR14 was for introducing generics, and it was initiated in 1999. That leaves 5 year window during which the article was most likely written.
This post makes the assumption that MongoDB isn't doing well based on Hacker News. MongoDB the company, and product, are doing extremely well (outside of anecdotal Hacker News posts), based on objective metrics like downloads, skills, jobs, and company revenue (and the company is nearing 900 employees on linkedin).

To put it another way, RethinkDB did extremely well on Hacker News. Twitter didn't, if you remember all the negative posts (and still went public). There is little relation between success on Hacker News and company success.
You think anyone of you guys would like to work in the SF East Bay?
An electric car driven 15,000 miles a year would still cost about 540 dollars per year to fuel, so that'd come out to a difference of about 11k - you're correct there about oil changes - but I wouldnt consider cooling systems - most cooling systems go 100,000 miles without maintenance, that also goes for most other major systems in the car - the exception being brakes and oil changes.

I fully acknowledge that electric cars appear cheaper to run - I'm expecting additional taxation to appear to null out some of the fuel cost differential however.

Bear in mind, I'm not bullish on electric cars - I think once the battery issues have been solved, and the charging network is fully deployed - and once the issue of charging for non-homeowners has been solved - Electric is clearly cleaner and better. I still think Tesla is overvalued for the market it's in (making automobiles), because of its limited potential to capture market share in that (very crowded) market.
I wasn't a fan of the UI refresh for the same reason, so I made my own alternate homepage which sorts the feed by artist and de-emphasizes reposts (http://gurlitz.org/soundcloud-digest/). Unfortunately like you said, content also dried up around the same time.
That says a lot. German labor laws protect their citizens strongly. I'm pretty sure they would always choose to get rid of other country staff first.
An API that can be accessed from heterogeneous languages will involve IPC.

Particularly since the best API will use the compiler's symbol tables (avoiding implementing syntactic and semantic analysis twice, buggily), and compiler implementation languages are even more diverse than editor implementation languages.

That argument only makes sense if your utility function were either monotonic and non-decreasing over arms or if it were monotonic and non-decreasing over a combination of arms and other things (e.g. legs?). Are you sure you'd always prefer having more arms?

I mean, I don't know about you, but I think most people would stop short of becoming a hecatoncheir. At best those extra arms would be useless, but in the worst case scenario you could be punished by the gods for your hubris. Either that, or be banished to Tartarus by Zeus.

That "old-school hackers" were all libertarians and that the "hacker ethos" always consisted of the three things you mentioned above is ...

Nobody is saying that all "old-skool hackers" were libertarians, or that the "hacker ethic" is composed of nothing but those three things. But as long as I've been involved in what you could call "the hacker community" - a period of time that dates back more than 20 years now - I've observed that many self-described "hackers" did, indeed, adopt somewhat (albeit not exclusively) libertarian attitudes, and did adhere to principles like the ones mentioned above.

Whether the mind-set of self-described "hackers" has changed over the years, or whether this site is simply made up of a lower percentage of "hackers" now is a question I can't really answer. Or maybe it's a combination of both. But in either case, it seems clear to me that there has been a shift in the overall tone of the community here, towards more acceptance of authoritarian approaches.

And frankly I find that disturbing, but what can ya do?
One word : notaries. Ridiculous and anachronistic.
One small addition: if you have the choice between a complex data structure (w/simple algo) or a complex algorithm (w/simple data structure), choose the simple algorithm. It's very often easier to reason about data as it's relatively static, vs a complex algorithm.

Once everything is working then, if it's warranted, change the algorithm.
It's on the list!

I'd fully expect that challenge to come from one of the established manufacturers.

We're still early-days yet on electric car technology - there are still many hurdles to overcome yet to make the technology practical for most drivers - so its really hard to say what the future will hold yet - I'm excited for the potential, but I'd like to think I see the realities of it.
Neither Youtube or Spotify make any real money. Recommendation algorithms are the least of Soundcloud's worries as the platform just doesn't have any real business plan and just can't play the "growth game" anymore.

There is just no real money in selling access to or hosting digital music.

Soundcloud used to be a place for DJs. They died when they tried to go mainstream instead of focusing on DJs and selling them services.

In the CAE administration note [0] which is mentionned in the article cited above there is the following text "Environmental policies are an emblematic case. In theory, they should not weigh on the budget since it is a matter of correcting an externality problem: the solution for this is to introduce an incentive price signal, through eco-taxation or quota"

As Veritasium explains [0], all of the reference kilograms have drifted, and some appear to weigh less than they used to. So even if we know the precise mechanism of action of the drift, it doesn't help with the fact that our measurements are less reliable than they used to be.

Of course, what's probably happened is that our measuring tools have gotten more accurate!

Inductive charging and battery swap.
And that‘s exactly what they should have focused on. I never saw them as a service for listening to tracks and albums or storing my collection. It‘s not a Spotify or Apple Music competitor.
It’s a great place for DJ mixes, sets and live recording, though I think Mixcloud is the better product - unfortunately I see way less engagement over there. That might change when Soundcloud goes down.
"who are the most advanced". Any sources for this? As far as I'm aware none of their cars are on the road in the hands of customer.

Also a lot of this companies are betting on Lidar becoming magically cheaper. Buying a company doesn't necessarily mean they'll kill it. Big companies have a lot of politics and red tape before integrations can even happen. I was at MS when they bought Skype and later Nokia. Middle management blew the whole thing up.
