This may be a fun anecdote or a cool story bro but I attended the 1982 National Computer Conference (aka NCC) in Houston, TX. At the time I was attending a high school with a PDP-11/05 and a PDP-11/34A which along with a PLATO terminal which were the center of any student's life interested in computers.

Needless to say I was beyond excited to see Digital's booth with actual Vaxen. They were mystical, super powerful systems we could only dream of one day touching at college. One of the floor walkers was demonstrating VMS and let me login and play around.

At school we had learned all sorts of commands by a mix of monkey command line silliness (we discovered SUBMIT when someone literally typed SUBMIT TO MY WILL at the prompt) and reading the hallowed documentation which were normally locked away in the IT director's office. You had to be especially good (straight A student) or a toady to get access to the docs.

Anyway we learned RSTS/E would let you claim resources with the allocate command. You could ALLOC a printer or disk but at NCC Digital had networked their systems to demonstrate global VAX clusters and VMS supported the same command across the network! You could ALLOC HOST::DEVICE and it would work.

Out of curiosity I ALLOC'd an entire VMS node (ALLOC RED::). It crashed. Unable to believe it when they got the server up I tried it again and it crashed again. I slunk away nervously sweating the rest of the day, convinced somehow that the Digital police were going to descend on me and kick me out of the conference. I went back the next day and confessed and told them what I had done to crash the VAX, figuring they would no longer be angry and that they should know what happened.

Unrelated to crashing the VAX I ended up getting a job offer from a Digital client to write Pascal code for MRI machines connected to VAXen strictly from one of those right place right time conversations. Those were the days. (Sadly as a 10th grader with no car I had to turn down the job.)
Who's definition of mayonnaise doesn't involve eggs? How would you even define it except by mentioning eggs?

I agree that mayonnaise should be defined by the ingredients, but I bet a majority of people who eat mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip thinking it is mayonnaise) don't know it is made from egg yolks. For those people the definition would be a white creamy spread that goes on bologna sandwiches. Their definition is external (taste, look), not based on the ingredients.
Thanks, he seems like a good example to model my self off of if I ever get stuck.
I agree that this is a good test for 5G, but it's even more important that 5G work well in dense urban areas where there are tall buildings, and hundreds (if not thousands) of users connecting to each cell.
I've 'recently' (May 2017) started simply counting the calories i consume and not avoiding one thing or another, keeping it below my TDEE. Some days are very high in Fat, others carbs, sometimes protein.

I've lost 32lbs/14.5kg since then (and another 30 to go).

I guess i will see in the long term if it is healthy, but i do feel great now.
It wouldn't be, unless one just had to live in the city center. When I moved from the Midwest my housing spend doubled, but I also doubled my saving rate (started saving 30% of my previous gross salary annually). The increased cost of living is well worth it.
I think the complaint was that the parent had a young child, not merely a child.

Without actually taking a stance on the topic, it seems quite a reasonable argument that, while you have a young child, you shouldn't actively go around risking your life -- they're your dependents, i.e. it's not just your life you're messing around with. When they stop being your dependents, do whatever you want, it's just your life now (and I guess your spouse's, who is presumably fine with what you do).
You can write a book with ReST. Nobody's going to do that with Javadoc. The documentation generation features are all bolt-ons and not in any way central to how Sphinx works.
Well, that's a narrow definition of P2P. All of those are centrally cleared systems vs a decentralized one. Buying a car is an application of money. The killer app for Bitcoin is better money, that's the vision I subscribe to and the one I would like to see proliferate.
So the EU will offer will only free trade deals to those not in the European continent, that sounds even worse, sounds like trying to force people into their cartel.
> If "mayonnaise" can't refer to vegan products, we can't use the term "vegan mayonnaise"

Which is fine; “vegan mayonnaise-flavored spread” would be accurate and in line with how other food products which are distinct from but designed to emulate a pre-existing food product category have been labelled for many years.

“Vegan mayonnaise” is no more coherent a label than “vegan pork”.
Last year ~115k. If I was actively seeking clients all year, I could get that number up much higher. I want to work on side projects though. That was with a 40/hour a month retainer and one big job that lasted ~5 months.
> The IMF and the World Bank were part of the world superstructure set up alongside the UN

It is european colonization transformed into western neocolonization. It is the bretton woods international system set up after ww2 when the british empire ceded world leadership to the US and many of the european colonial powers ( british, dutch, french, etc ) joined the US in "collective" rule of the world rather than fighting each other for colonies. The era of direct european colonization led by the british empire was fraying and starting to collapse as the soviets, chinese, germans and the japanese all exploited and made inroads against european colonization around the world. So an era of "indirect" european/western neocolonization was created to replace the direct european colonization of the past 500 years or so.

> A good example of this was during the Southeast Financial Crisis that in 97-98 that toppled the Indonesian government and still to this day has left abandoned skyscrapers in Bangkok. At the beginning of the crisis the IMF had a policy against restricting investor access to banks, believing it was better to "let the market work".

Ah... The age old question, who/what caused the asian financial crisis...

> the IMF had changed positions and was fully committed to using international law to stop irrational investor panic.

Isn't it funny how every crisis, the FED and the IMF gets stronger and stronger.

> People forget HOW HUGE THIS WAS. There was a Time magazine cover at the time that literally read "The Committee to Save The World" with Greenspan, Summers, and Rubin on it.

I really wouldn't believe much from a propaganda outfit like TIME.

> Interestingly, though this problem would later help usher in the Dot Com bubble.

That's the idea. Build bubbles, cause panic, demand more control for printing more money and bailing out institutions/etc. Of course, they themselves cause the panics, but as I said, that's for another time.

Essentially. The UN, IMF, World Bank are pillars of western neocolonialism. It's only naive people who expect "good" from these institutions. That would be as silly as an indian or a chinese expecting "good" from the british empire or the indonesians from the dutch empire or the filipinos from the spanish empire/american empire.
PG agrees you, he wrote a whole essay about the subject in 2012 [1]. At that point in time, he wrote that "just two companies, Dropbox and Airbnb, account for about three quarters of [YC's value]."

We have our share of intersecting roads, or occasionally, one named road that's tree shaped. Leads to google maps telling me to "turn left on the old mill, proceed to the old mill, turn right on the old mill, turn left on the old mill, then turn left on the fairyhouse road." (Finally.) Or developments/estates where the street addresses are literally: "6 The Avenue" or "5 The Close". Confuses the hell out of American databases.
The description is of an inland site, above sea level. It's a natural air pocket, so already has a connection to air at ground level (although with limited air-exchange). Drilling through wouldn't significantly change the air-pressure differential, just increase the capacity to exchange exhausted air for fresh air.

> I've never understood the irrational desire to quit your job.

When you don't have a job, you have a lot of time to live how you want.

Last time I quit I spent two years driving from Alaska to Argentina through 16 countires, and right now I'm spending two years driving right around Africa through 30 countries

I hike, swim, camp, cook, learn languages, talk to locals, see sunrises, sunsets, beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, volcanoes, animals, take photos and generally do whatever I want on any given day.

It's paradise, for me.
Maybe, but that circular logic doesn't help establish legitimacy. And if we can agree on that, then where does the investor industry's legitimacy lie? "We have the money, by various mechanisms, and everything else is a fairy tale?"
Absolutely. That's best case scenario.
Labor has no pricing power in the USA and it's partially responsible for the candidacy of Donald Trump & Bernie Sanders - for what it's worth.

All the spigots for cheap labor in the USA are turned on full blast and have been increasingly so since the late 1970's when labor power was at its zenith. Those spigots are: free-trade agreements with other countries, automation, anti-union actions, flow of illegal labor, flow of legal immigrant labor, globalization.

It's the cause of social turmoil, but that's not much of a concern (in fact it's something to be harnessed and consumed) for the ruling (and chattering) classes.
Thx! God bless!;)

Do not underestimate modern intel iGPUs! Even games like Fallout 4 can be made to run on these as long as you can accept lower graphical fidelity, resolution and 30 fps rather than a smooth 60+ framerate (the latter of which is common on gaming consoles, anyway).

Here's a video of Fallout 4 running on a Macbook Pro :

Running on Intel's GPU. Macs with dedicated GPUs with either NVIDIA or AMD hardware will perform much better.

Overwatch has no trouble running on more recent Macs, if you install Windows through bootcamp. Compared to many other AAA games, it's quite light. Hardware is not the issue here.

The biggest problem running games on Mac OS X is the terrible graphic stack. It's simply underperforming. Whether it's the drivers or something else, I can't say. However, from my personal experience having used Mac OS X, Linux and Windows on the same Mac, Windows tends to perform best, Linux a close second, and MacOS a very distant last.

This stays true even for games that were "natively" ported to MacOS, such as Diablo 3. They still run better on Windows. And as for people who play windows games through Wine.. those games run better on linux than on MacOS. And that tends to be a major problem with running games on lower end macs.. for example, Dark Souls can run fine on a Mac Mini if you play it through Wine under Linux, or natively on Windows. But Wine on MacOS will perform significantly worse. Not enough to make the game unplayable, but it's a much less enjoyable experience.

MacOS is just unfit for the purpose.
I'm not a 'hardcore gamer' per se, and do not chase the treadmill of latest and greatest with the best possible graphics, but I still enjoy playing games from time to time and I ended up nuking MacOS from the mini I use as a media center connected to the TV. The next time I buy a tiny computer to put next to the tv, it will be an Intel NUC.
Well, that was an example, not a proposal to an official risk limit.

But maybe - you'd need a proper analysis of the relative risk. Isn't that done with cars/driving? All sorts of vehicle legislation may be driven (npi) by driving incident data / risk analysis.

> Taking a specific incident and combining it with "that sounds dangerous"

I'm not. I think it sounds dangerous before this specific incident. But you are right - a meaningful, proper analysis would be appropriate. I'm not saying my suggestion is enough, I am saying, maybe something formal would be appropriate.

Worst case - Those would be the ones on I had encountered free(ish) sites like Sourceforge and OpenClipArt.org (though OCA I think has been fighting them)

Those are the ads that try to fool you into thinking their ad as if it is part of the sites UI "Click here to download app!" Download viewer to open file. They put a big black spot on the unsuspecting site that gets those ads.

Secondary would be the unscrupulous JavaScript ads that some sites get by signing up to an ad network - such ads that bring up malicious (or seemingly malicious) popups pop-unders, etc. Also putting a bad rep on probably a not as attentive but honest blog.
Also:

* Do take Metformin.

* Consume sufficient Omega-3 (many fish-oil capsules or fewer small, oily fish).

* When > 50, take either aspirin or triflusal.

* Exercise to minimize resting heart rate.

* Meditate.

* Use sunscreen to protect against UVA.

* Don't smoke or chew tobacco.

* Minimize inflammation and inflammatory processes.

* Don't live next to a highway or urban pollution.

* Don't be poor.

* Resolve depression or sleep apnea.

* Don't eat meat, eat mostly plants. (Raw vegan is a bit hipster extreme.)
Probably the spthy code isn't the best as a reference for building an implementation. For that I'd recommend:

https://www.wireguard.io/papers/wireguard.pdf

https://www.wireguard.io/protocol/

http://noiseprotocol.org/noise.pdf

However, if you actually read the Tamarin manual -- the documentation is really terrific -- I think you'll find that the spthy code quickly comes into focus as something very straight-forward.

https://tamarin-prover.github.io/manual/book/001_introductio...

So much so, in fact, that I'd really recommend fluency with something like Tamarin as an essential thing for anybody working on crypto things, even if they're not in academia. It should be accessible to folks who describe themselves as "crypto engineers." Next time you find yourself having to work on or analyze a custom crypto protocol, give it a shot.
Elon Musk Gives the Big Picture at Governors Meeting
As I said in another comment, the IMF and world bank were created after ww2 when european colonial powers decided to "band together" rather than fight each other.

The IMF and World Bank are neocolonial institutions. The brits, dutch, french, etc decided to pool their resources together to exploit the world rather than fighting each other to exploit the world.

It's just colonization 2.0. Instead of invading nations, they destabilize them via economic warfare and then "buy/exploit" these nations. It's far more cost effective and effective.
I'm a qualified advanced recreational diver, and most diving by properly-trained (not 'quick tutorial at the dock' like a lot of tourists get) divers has a very manageable level of risk, even at altitude or under ice. Cave diving and mixture diving (esp. in overhead environments like the Andrea Doria) is well beyond my personal acceptable-risk horizon, but most of the people who go there are extremely experienced, well-equipped and cogniscant of the risks and how to mitigate them. (Those that aren't tend to die or learn they really shouldn't be there very fast). I would never call it safe, but thise that go there (or, say, K2) aren't being foolhardy.

Interesting. I will try the docker example later

BUT you have to admit it is still in research and not widely used/accepted/tested by users
This is not cave diving, though. It's a very deep sinkhole, but with a clear path to the surface. The risks in these dives are related to extreme depth, not to the overhead environment.

That said, it's a terrific article.
I feel like a lot of this "basic" knowledge is already encoded in machine readable form and there should just be an app they can talk to that tells them what they should take.
By the way, an important problem in natural language processing, which is related to this at a high level, is anaphora resolution. When we use pronouns to refer to people and things we've mentioned before, there are often ambiguities about what the referent of a particular pronoun is, but native speakers almost never have to consciously think about this question. But in practice, resolving these references correctly may require sophisticated reasoning about our knowledge of the world in order to determine which interpretation is plausible.

An example adapted from the Winograd Schema Challenge is:

The file couldn't fit on the hard drive because it was too big.

The file couldn't fit on the hard drive because it was too small.

In the first sentence, "it" refers to the file; in the second sentence, "it" refers to the hard drive. Native speakers who know what files and hard drives or (or even who don't) should have no trouble understanding the references and might not even have noticed that there was any ambiguity (!), even though resolving the ambiguity requires bringing to bear specific knowledge about the world.

There is a whole family of AI language understanding problems based around this, such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winograd_Schema_Challenge

Looking over some examples shows just how challenging this can be, because of the way the sentences can require people to know arbitrary things about the world. ("The atom emitted a photon because it was entering a lower energy state.")
It is not really that risky. It was just an unfortunate accident. It is probably way riskier to practice road cycling or breathing air in a big city(because of diesel particles pollution).

This man has been doing this for 24 years, if something diving today with him is safer because of the experience he got.

There are extremely risky sports like B.A.S.E, jumpsuit skydiving or freestyle motorbike stunt. This is not that risky.

I have seen a lot of people die in their 50s of cancer after smoking 3 packs a day. You don't see people around telling smokers: You have children, you should not take risks like this.

Even working too much could be riskier than diving caves. A fried of mine is quadriplegic because he felt sleep in the car for working too much.
In the end, “low-carb” meant about 30 percent carbs and 45 percent fat, while “low-fat” was about 29 percent fat and 48 percent carbs. Despite not being required to cut calories, participants were eating an average of 500 calories less, and what they were eating was high quality. The low-fat group was encouraged to choose whole grains, a variety of beans and lentils, seasonal organic fruit, organic low-fat milk and lean meats. The low-carb group was pointed toward high-quality oils and fats, organic avocados, hard cheeses, nut butters, grass-fed meat and pasture-raised eggs. “Everyone was supposed to have vegetables all day long as much as they could, have a salad every day, and no added sugar and as little refined flour as you could get,” Gardner said.

They designed two diets that were very similar to each other, and unsurprisingly got similar results.

Do you realize that exchanges and cryptocurrencies are not even close to the same thing? In fact most exchanges deal in fiat as well, so you should also be shitting on fiat at the same time based on your logic.
So... having owned a company before, and somewhat understanding your rationale but not really sure how to explain the other side to you...

Have you ever thought that perhaps a life doesn't need to have this work/life separation at all? When you run/own your own company your life becomes work and vice versa. It's incredibly freeing. You wake up when there is work to do, and any time you are working on something when you don't want to be - you know the direct and logical reason you are doing so. Want a vacation tomorrow? Take it. You can push a couple meetings and take those other conference calls from the beach no problem. You are never sitting there plugging away at pointless work no one will ever see - and if you are, the second you realize it you can simply stop and switch to a different direction.

Ever been in the office at 3pm wondering why the hell you have to sit there staring blankly at a screen? As a business owner that never happens. Not being productive at that moment? Just leave and go swimming. No boss to justify it to, and no reason to feel guilty about what your co-workers may think.

It's freedom. Sure if I could somehow work a job I hate for 10 years and then have financial freedom so I could do whatever with my day - great. Sign me up. That doesn't really exist (for me) though - so the next best thing I can do is make my career my life and hopefully reach the same financial goals in 40 years instead of 30, but having come out ahead since I didn't hate most of my waking life working on some useless thing I don't have any investment in.

I've done the commute to work 10+ hours a day thing, and I honestly don't know how anyone can act like such a mindless drone for so much of their useful life. Seems incredibly myopic to me.

There are jobs you could not pay me $50k/hr to do. Life is too short to spend time doing stupid busy work - no matter how well paid it is.

Or put in a much more simple way? It's about enjoying the journey, not just the destination. When the journey equals the vast majority of the waking hours you exist for, I think it's incredibly important that part of your life gives you direct satisfaction over simple monetary concerns. Once my basic needs are met - compensation is certainly nowhere near the top of my list when evaluating job opportunities.
Digital Ocean and Linode are good services. Scaleway started with ARM servers but now offers x86-based servers at a very low price point. Unlimited bandwidth too. I've also used vultr.com. As @eulid55 says, lowendbox.com is a good resource, but some would consider offerings there a bit TOO low-end. Your mileage may vary.

Others that come to mind are OVH and online.net. If you really just need shell access, sdf.org is a possibility.
