Let's Encrypt has supported SAN certificates with up to 100 hostnames ever since they launched.
But....but....they shipped something? However awful it is, they ticked that box and have their awful POS UI live for the world to see. And backed by fancy technology and expensive devs.
Have you made any attempt to work something out with whoever may have your old phone number? Explain the situation to them? Maybe they'd be kind enough send you the 2FA code for the account?
Good point, although I suspect Amazon is more lenient with known charity referrals.
So say I do this, and later my account is sent to collections. Can you think of a worse possible outcome when your phone is dropped in the toilet if you have no scheme for 2FA recovery?

My cloud-hosted business gets shut down, credit score tanks, because of the combination of my butter fingers and your secure authentication scheme! Might as well not employ any CSR drones at all if you're not going to handle this case. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but this is not a great strategy for customer satisfaction or retention.

To the extent that in a dispute situation, who pays the bill =/= whomever holds the keys, my preferred customer service strategy would tend to favor who is paying the bill.
There's a significant point a lot of people are missing. In e.g. physics and chemistry, the math is not the point. Using e.g. Wolfram Alpha is great if it allows students to solve larger and more complex problems, without sitting there solving integrals over and over (for instance).
Most definitely a sexist, yes. Just like your parents raised you to be a "gentleman", their generation was raising women to have absolutely no self-esteem or self-confidence, therefore in need of "saving"

The "good old days" were never good for anyone except the abusers. That would be you. Please think carefully about your values.
On the TIRES project (http://daly.axiom-developer.org/cmu/book.pdf) we used Scone (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~sef/scone/), a knowledge representation system as the core structure. Rules based on OPS5 (http://repository.cmu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3430&c...) were used to do planning.

Scone concepts were linked to machine learning for two tasks, recognition (e.g. giving grounding to the concept 'wrench' as a recognizable object) and actions (e.g. giving grounding to concepts like tighten as a series of actions).

So ML was an "interface" for recognition and "compiled knowledge" where the system knew how to perform certain actions without any consultation with the rest of the knowledge (similar to how you can recognize and type words without thinking).

I spent a month and a half locked out of my AWS account due to 2FA issues and being caught in a Mobius strip with AWS support.

IMHO 2 problems with how AWS handles customer support (vs. other co's):

1. Different support rep every time = following the same script with every phone call. I'm sure assigning first available rep speeds up response times but for you, if the problem can't be resolved in 1 phone call it's like talking to someone with Alzheimer's, you're constantly re-answering the same 15 questions to a new person every time.

2. Customers are not allowed to directly interface with level 2+ support, only the nontechnical level 1 support can do that. Good luck getting them to communicate your technical issue correctly.

For example, every single support rep asked me if I had 2FA disabled for my Amazon retail account (I did). After re-answering this question with every single rep, they'd file tickets with the next level of support...only to be rejected later because level 2+ said it was most likely because I had 2FA on on my Amazon retail account (I did not). It was nearly impossible to bridge this disconnect.

Customer support is not easy to do well so I hesitate to widely impugn Amazon's efforts, but if you're an AWS customer and you have an issue that's an edge case outside of the scripts these support reps are using prepare to waste weeks or months of your life trying to resolve it.
I sympathize with your predicament, but I can say I am very happy to know that Amazon won't just let anybody get access to a 2FA account without a substantial burden of proof.

We all read horror stories of people's accounts being compromised via trivial social engineering hacks. This will always be a balancing act. And to be honest I am all for erring on the side of caution.
I'm surprised he doesn't have bigger / more monitors in his studio. Working on a laptop screen as your main display seems lacking—especially compared to everything else.
Mainly they are protected by the MLS listing service. You can buy a house with a flat fee now with a decent RE lawyer.
In many states, real estate brokers are responsible for ensuring that laws are followed and held accountable by a state government office. This means brokers take on risk and liability. Many states require a brokers license in order to sell real property for another for a fee. Yes, brokers are trying to protect their generous income structure.

Brokers (and salespeople) are only paid on successfully selling the property. The truth is not many people want to pay someone per hour or per showing to see houses. You can certainly sell or buy a home without a broker. You are bearing the risks in that case. If you buy and sell a home on your own and the deal falls apart, if the contract was not valid or not enforceable you could owe or lose thousands of dollars. Yes, you can have a lawyer draft the contract but a lawyer can't (in many states) show the property (ADD: and a lawyer is going to charge for each and every offer you written up. You pay regardless of if the sell happens or not).

With time I see brokers fees approaching a flat fee for facilitation services only (so long as they don't represent the seller or buyer in the transaction).

Why do we still have sports agents? Can't players and teams negotiate on their own?

The term "notarization" means very different things depending on the country you live in.

Outside the US this process can be lengthy and/or expensive as it can even result in official government stamps, translations, etc.
Not a problem for those who already have assets and can ride the wave. Well, I guess not a problem as long as they have the cash flow to keep it going, or at least 1 non-leveraged home.
This site also goes into a lot of detail about the digital tracks you leave online, and how to minimize them: https://myshadow.org/
I agree. I live in a small isolated town, and I thought realtors were artificially increasing the home prices (not values, but prices) in the small pool of housing available here. But their local knowledge was invaluable in both buying and selling a home.

That said, if a buyer and seller agree on a sale independently of any realtor here, we can go to a local realtor and they'll happily facilitate the sale for a flat fee of around $1000. I've done that once, and had a number of friends who also did so. Most of the realtors recognize that the bulk of their commission comes from the listing and marketing process, and the paperwork is just something they know how to do correctly. $1000 is a fair price for knowing that's all being done correctly and fairly.
Mailgun has similar issues though. We advise those signing up for accounts on our open source community site not to use Hotmail since mailgun emails tend to get binned by Hotmail. Not sorted to spam or bounced, straight up deleted.
Have you ever worked with a realtor? The fee may seem exorbitant because you pay it in a lump sum. But if you were to try and calculate their hourly fee, you'll see even the mediocre ones who are only moderately attentive to their clients are often making only a few dollars an hour.
Because you think sending an email to Jeff will actually get into his inbox or even read by himself? lol.
Through object oriented programming or through a programming language that can do it? Many programming introductions start with mostly procedural/imperative, while using a language that has OO (and which is then introduced later in detail).

Totally agreed on other paradigms not being teached enough though.
There are differences between sexes and because of this there are some ways that laws etc should treat them differently.

This does not extend to a fucking programming job.
I absolutely love having a colourful shell -- assuming that each program doesn’t end up competing for your attention! I’m far more likely to notice an error if it’s red, or a warning if it’s yellow, as I find out about them subconsciously without having to read each line. However, if every program has a different idea of what an “error” is, then I’m just going to start ignoring red lines instead.
AI is the future of Computing. TensorFlow has established itself as the standard for machine learning. It has an amazing community, and love from researchers as well. TensorFlow, along with Kubernetes, are positioning Google Cloud as a strong contender in Cloud Computing Space. With Cloud TPU and Cloud ML, Google has leaped few years ahead of other AWS and Azure.
Amazing, I don't see any outrage from conservatives on funding ISIS by Hobby Lobby. There are some even defending Hobby Lobby because according to them Hobby Lobby saved important artifacts from destruction.
Here's a great piece by Ben Thompson discussing the economics and markets of such services:

current system steer home buyers away from Redfin
properties, and hiring and training agents who aren’t
interested in the upside from commission takes a lot of
time and money.

Why the flat-fee brokerage Allre had to close shop:

All of these internet companies that profess to want to
disintermediate the real estate business – just as they
did with the travel agency business (everyone even uses
the same analogy) – forget one major fact: buying and/or
selling a home is often the largest, most complicated
transaction a person may undertake.

Interesting, thanks. So it seems like it'd still be a pretty heavy win for the GPU.

Also, a common use-case on the web today is to have one input image and then a large number of output images (usually smaller) for different screen resolutions & thumbnails. Seems like you could save a lot of time by uploading the input image once and then running a bunch of resize convolutions for different output sizes while it's still in the GPU memory, then download the output files as a batch.
Google Authenticator is a bad 2FA app. Authenticator+ costs a couple of bucks but has many features that make it much easier to use, including the ability to back up an encrypted copy of your 2FA keys (standard disclaimers about risk of compromise to this file, yadda yadda yadda). When you change phones, you just download that, decrypt, and pick up where you left off; no hassle trying to replace the 2FA generators, which is a PITA when you have one 2FA, let alone going through that process for several accounts.

If you're going to use Google Authenticator anyway, at least unlock your bootloader before you initialize the identities. You can't get to the key database without being rooted, even if you're doing a full backup with adb, and unlocking/relocking the bootloader wipes the device.
For those curious, this article somewhat oversimplifies the situation.

Coal is dying anyway.

"Clean coal" generally refers to coal => gasification => carbon capture. This is possible, just more expensive than burning raw coal, which itself is now more expensive than natural gas.

Mostly because of fracking, at least in the US, natural gas is much cheaper than buying coal. Compounding that, renewable energy creates high flexibility in peak demand, so plants designed to operate as baseload sources cannot amortize costs as effectively.

Additionally, HVDC lines are making regional proximity less important, so gas/coal locality plays less of a role in pricing.

The market is shifting to peaker plants, like natural gas, which have very low capital costs and can turn on/off quickly. This kills of coal and nuclear anyway, which have to run 24/7 to stay cost competitive.

Barring some energy storage miracle, we'll eventually end up with ~35% renewables, 15% hydro, 50% natural gas in the US, with HVDC interconnect.

Having gone through four home-buying episodes, where my wife (an ex-realtor) spent massive amounts of time trolling Trulia, RedFin, calling police departments, gathering reports from the local City Hall, I can tell you there is still a service to be provided by agents. And anyone who has bought a house knows that the collection of contracts that represents "buying a house" is not a small collection, and errors can be logistical disasters down the road.

A good agent is worth 10x their commission. A bad agent, of which there are many, is a waste of money. And the big rub is that people who could be buying homes probably aren't simply because they don't know the dozens of tricks that can be employed to make an unaffordable situation affordable, or able to identify a good deal.

If you're comfortable buying a home without any background check, then I guess you don't need a realtor, but I wouldn't do it.

Oh, and the laws that protect realtors, toss 'em. What we really need is Yelp for realtors.

I really hate when they don't treat 0 (unlisted option) as what it actually is.

The user is telling the menu tree that those who programmed the tree didn't include this use case or that poor descriptions routed the user to the wrong area. Have a human cleanup pass.

Often I do end up pressing 0 when I have a strong suspicion that I'm going to need to speak to a human to get my actual problem fixed and am pretty sure nothing's going to change that.
It's the other way around. It is in his own interest to say this, not against his own interest. He clearly said that clean coal raises costs. That means that costs would be lower without clean coal. Lower costs are in his own best interest.
Interesting, was this set up by someone from soundcloud or independently?
I have links to a number of useful utilities for visualizing when and why components re-rendered in the "DevTools#Component Update Monitoring" section of my Redux addons catalog [0]. Hopefully those help.

I'm a bit curious why you say that "reselect makes it less clear when things are being re-rendered". The overall reasons shouldn't change - connected components will re-render when values from `mapState` or props from the parent component have changed by reference.

Thunks are definitely the "minimum viable approach" for handling async logic in Redux, or at least the minimum _suggested_ approach (as opposed to doing async handling purely inside of a component). I agree that sagas (and observables) are a pretty big jump for most devs to make, but then again, async logic in general is more difficult to reason about. Personally, I still think most devs should use thunks until they see a need for something else (per my post "Idiomatic Redux: Thoughts on Thunks" [1]).

Redux does deliberately push the question of "how do I handle async logic?" outside of its core, and leave it up to you. That's both because Redux focuses on structuring synchronous state updates, and because (per my post) Dan and Andrew wanted to give devs flexibility in what specific technique they use for handling async.

FYI, I did what you want to do. On my personal website I write about my hobby projects that often include Amazon products. (I pretty much do all my shopping on Amazon, so anything I used in my projects is usually from them).

I simply link to the products using my affiliate link and thats it. I also make it very clear that it is an affiliate link.

When I first write a post I usually make $200 - $500 a month (even more if its around Christmas time)
You don't need a realtor, fyi, just a good real estate lawyer, which you generally need anyway when buying/selling a house.

A lot of the apparent value of realtors disappears when you do the process yourself. source: have FSBO bought, and FSBO sold, and redfin bought, and worked for Coldwell Banker.

Getting on the MLS is cheap/easy now with discount MLS listings--I wouldn't do fsbo without it, even though you usually pay buyer's agents.
I saw a new player in self-driving yesterday - a blue Peterbilt truck equipped with many cameras and some of the puck-sized Velodyne laser scanners. Nevada license AU 0030. They were driving on US 101 southbound from Menlo Park to Mountain View, where they exited the freeway and got back on, northbound. They were bobtailing; no trailer.

In that location, I'd first though it was one of Google's vehicles But why the Nevada plate? Turns out this is Embark.[1] They even show their AU 0030 license plate in the video.

Embark has been testing in Nevada, where the regulations are looser and there's less traffic. Their demo video is on a a deserted, straight two-lane road, closed for the occasion. Good place to debug.

Embark isn't on the list of CA DMV autonomous vehicle test companies. Also, CA won't allow autonomous vehicle testing of vehicles over 10,000 pounds, figuring that if something goes wrong, it's better to have car accidents than heavy truck accidents.

When Otto did that "autonomous delivery" of Budweiser with a semi, their vehicle was surrounded by chase cars. It was a much more controlled environment than the video indicates. There's too much "fake it until you make it" in this business. Waymo and Volvo are building systems that can handle unexpected trouble. Some of the others, not so much.

Is there an algorithm for efficiency?
Yes, you are.

Recognizing that women in general have less physical strength than men in general isn't sexist.

Thinking that "women shouldn't play rugby" because of it is sexist.

To me, the difference is that you're thinking a particular woman is physically weaker than a particular (or any) man, and therefore shouldn't do something. But there are plenty of women who are physically stronger than plenty of men.

For instance, despite how strong I am, I have absolutely no doubt that most women who body-build are stronger than I am.

Saying that they shouldn't play rough sports, but that it's perfectly fine for me to, is just plain sexist.
I had a summer job at Hobby Lobby roughly a decade ago. The founder has an autobiography for sale by all the registers that we used to hate-read in the breakroom over our depressing, windowless lunch breaks. Our favorite bit was the part where he justified not having bar code scanners on the registers by saying that employees take more pride in their work (like sticking price stickers on 1000's of items) when they do it by hand.
Oh, looking at this it is worth remembering that NIMBYism and real estate prices are one of the biggest drivers of inequality in the world.

Housing doesn't have to be expensive. It is, mostly, due to political reasons.

The Future of Teaching with Swift Playgrounds
I can see some of the expertise coming into play on the selling side.

Can you give me a few examples of what kinds of value one gets while buying?

From what I can tell the main service that my realtor offered when I buying my place was access to the MLS. We found the houses we wanted to look at and he gave us access.
Dollars per hour he was doing very well working with me, although I might be an exception.
YC-backed Vidcode raises $1.5M to teach teens to code using Snapchat, Memes etc.
I was mainly looking for a business cofounder that could contact the older development studio owners to suggest them a deal so that we could start offering a kind of "All-Access" plan (à-la Google Music, Spotify, etc) to be able to play games without having to physically own them. Advertisement was also a track I was exploring, as you can see with the side menu that shows news from Polygon. I figured that with a big enough userbase, online magazines would be interested in being showcased in a proeminent place, while still adding value to our proposition (users of such a platform would probably be very interested by those articles).
While I don't disagree with you, Redfin has been in business since 2004. 13 years is a long time to take to kill off realtors.

I'm in the process of selling my place and I'm using a realtor (who nearly matched Redfin's seller commission rate). The Redfin agent I first spoke to proposed a generic, templatized method to sell my property - list on N realtor sites, email my contacts, take nice pics - while the realtor I went with lives two doors down from me, knew the quirks of the HOA, had working knowledge of what potential buyers were looking for in my community based on recent deals he had been part of.

What about antibiotics? That seems like a clear case of changing the world for the better.
I've been thinking of what a more efficient and effective dishwasher would look like, and I think it would be something like: 1) you put dishes in it continuously and it cleans continuously, no start/stop cycle, such that when one is done eating, one puts the dirty dish directly into an opening that then slowly swallows it up (leaving dishes in the sink to dry out is what makes them so hard to clean). 2) a more effective filtering system that empties out automatically at a more frequent rate, so you can put very dirty dishes in and it can handle them without recycling dirty water and 3) ideally, robotic graspers that can hold each dish, conceptualize the shape, and actually scrub the dish.
cutting the fees by 25% actually. Redfin acts as the buyer or seller's broker and only gives you back half of their 3% commission. The other side's broker still gets their 3%. So you pay 4.5% instead of 6%.
It seems the takeaway from all these comments here is that there needs to be more education in the home buying experience.

Migrating from nexus 1.x to 3.x
I'm sure there are exceptions, but I've never met a realtor in the US that wasn't an outright impediment to an easy sale. For one thing, their incentives are usually adverse to one or both parties. Also, they're usually in the habit of pushing volume, and are lazy/terrible at marketing even the most compelling properties. They fail to grasp the fundamentals of customer service and fall back on scammy guilt trips and pressure sales tactics. Meanwhile, they're cutting every corner they can find.

In Japan, I had the opposite experience. Here, realtors worked really hard for me, and most of them are on a meager salary without commissions.
