First: congratulations to you for not being one of those who have to suffer in your country! You must be so proud. Do you think with this wage inequality in your country, you are representative for the Chinese population?

> I got Internet connection back in the early 90s and I have been openly posting comments on Chinese forums criticising some of CCP's policies for the last 20 years.

I don't know what you have been criticizing there or how but you are aware that your government puts even artists in jails for "criticizing" are you? Why do you think they force Apple to take those VPN apps down if free speech is no problem?!

We also have those people moaning up to today how good it was because back then in socialist utopia, they just needed to know the right people or be in the party. Everything else worked for them then. Today they have to face real competition, rules and regulations. They fail now and therefore tend to support other radical parties that may bring them their former benefits back. This is why you see so many of those methods and ideologies coming back on the right in former East Block countries. So no...it's not about socialism. As bad as it was. It's humans, power, influence and money.

And no my eastern block motherland did not encourage me to exploit western countries education systems so I can learn how to exploit/manipulate the economic system too and come back afterwards. The best (or wealthiest, most influence see above) were able to go to Russia though and we were not so brain washed due to the lack of the media flood so people who left, stayed in the West. In the end the system broke apart and Democracy and the Free Market replaced it. Learn something.

> Chinese killed that rubbish back in 1978. Learn something.

Well...good luck on your next election then!

You make it look like your country did not become some scary undemocratic thought police thing. There is a reason why you don't write "free market economy" as anybody else from the west would in such a glorification speech. You depend on a illusion of economic stability just like the socialist systems back then. The only difference is now that because you've been the sweatshop for the rest of the world for so long, the world thinks it depends on the continuation of the show. We'll see how that will work out in the end. Your government doesn't think it will end good or it wouldn't implement those crowd control mechanisms and make people disappear who may cause critical thinking in the first place
It does containers too; we're especially proud of how it uses common configuration when possible. For instance:

# configure the disk image used to boot KVM VMs
mm$ vm config disk /home/floren/debian.qcow2
# give it 4 gigs of RAM instead of the default 2
mm$ vm config mem 4096
# configure the virtual network, in this case we call it "foo"
mm$ vm config net foo
# launch three KVM VMs
mm$ vm launch kvm my-vm[1-3]

# now configure the container filesystem
mm$ vm config filesystem /home/floren/containerfs/
# launch 10 containers; they will also get 4GB of RAM and be connected to the "foo" network
mm$ vm launch container my-container[1-10]

# start all the VMs that we've launched so far
mm$ vm start all
> I believe there is a whole world of click-fraud with Google and Facebook in this which noone is tracking

I believe it's actually a little more subtle than that. Google and Facebook don't have to commit fraud, and arguably their business model is to be a kind of middleman for fraudsters. They can be doing everything ostensibly above-board (and I would argue are) but profiting from the combination of advertisers and click farms.
Perhaps it turns to brand awareness? For some ads (say Cars) the ROI is huge enough to justify.
I barely made it through college, and worked in factories and warehouses during/after school. Because of my bad grades, I thought manual labor jobs were the only ones I could do.

I later worked overseas (in Guyana). I've seen many bright young people worldwide forced into doing work that crushes their spirits, because they either never had access to educational opportunities, or they struggled with rigid educational systems.

Education is one of the few ways to reduce systemic economic inequality, but it's getting harder to get a cheap, high quality education over time.

I'm building Dataquest, which to start is teaching data science online at low cost. Dataquest teaches skills in depth, so students really understand the concepts and can apply them with projects (vs most syntax focused online learning). We've had students get jobs at companies like SpaceX and Amazon.

I hope the positive impact I'm having is in some small way helping people achieve things they never believed they could.
The problem we've always had with AI was that most people were trying to engineer it rather than reverse engineer it. Every time there would be a major advance the computational neuroscientists would say: "we knew that, you should have come talked to us 15 years ago." There's some work out there on this, but it's more basic research on how to use developmental and genetic and evolutionary algorithms to grow neural networks. Most AI researchers try to skip this step but it's what's holding back progress.
Thank you. I'm not trying to make one. I am just trying to get a better handle on how RF is used. Thanks again.
No need to involve other nations: the US military is moving ahead on its own:

From the 2016 article:

"Artificial intelligence will play a big role in the future of U.S. strategy in cyberspace, according to National Security Agency Director Adm. Michael Rogers, who told Congress Tuesday that relying primarily on human intelligence 'is a losing strategy.'”

The lineage of military intelligence systems using AI is (necessarily, historically) heavily biased toward language-based AGI ("old AI") rather than neural networks. The NN are there of course, but IMO the impressive work is in the AGI.

China? This has been happening in the US and Europe for years.

Look how heavily censored all social media is now.
Ahh, that's great, and helps explain what makes it different.

With containers in addition to VM, it now looks more like a stripped down proxmox that's much more scriptable.

Looks like it would be a good underpinning to implement your own VPS service with "resource pools", where end users get some amount of cores, memory, disk, but can slice them however they want.

I am talking about contributions to open-source projects under the name of the employer. I have signed NDAs with clauses that state that as an employer I am responsible for the maintenance of the internal systems including the bug fixes to whatever project the system depends on, but later there are clauses that prevent me from identifying myself as an individual contributor to these open-source projects, I have to use a company-provided account.
What a surreal maintenance statement to see "every 150000 miles"

Awesome

So you think it's black people's fault that there aren't more of them in academia? White people have done nothing wrong, it's black people who aren't trying hard enough?

The marketplace is too scattered to understand, seeing as its common knowledge that most devs can't fizzbuzz on command, and also everyone knows all interviews are piles of buzzwords surrounded by infinite whiteboard algo discussions.

Given that disorder in the marketplace, you might be worried they're asking for an entire tech startup, but they might be happy with little more than a personal fizzbuzz hello-world analogy. If your employer were jerks enough to demand ownership of your fizzbuzz-alike, you could write another in a day or two.

"Electric cars are also extremely useful in that you can choose to charge them at times when wind and solar are producing "too much" power."

Which sounds great, but is 100% BS in most cases.
That Austin energy EV charging system I linked doesn't turn off the charger when the wind isn't blowing. Instead its strictly time based, so while much of the information is public (http://www.ercot.com/mktinfo) it is pretty much impossible to say "There is spare wind capacity feeding my house, lets charge the car". I would be interested if anyone actually has such a system, and further what would such a system do when there isn't sufficient wind overcapacity for days? Then oddly enough, I see a bunch of tesla's charging on the chargers at work, which of course is during peak power usage times (aka when all the NG peak plants are running).
I've got a bad back...
>They decide what goes in and how customers can use it. We don't get to decide anything without government approval.

Then how can anyone really say that they are doing business in china? When it's the government calling all the shots and taking the lion's share of profits?

What is a foreign business in china, besides a brand-on-loan-to-the-government (that they pay you for using)?

> The damage is that racism is evil irrespective of who the racist is

But... why? You're not giving an example of any damage other than abstractions like "evil". Did you lose your job? Do you fear for your safety? Are you being unfairly judged? Did you have an unfair disadvantage under some minority group?

To quote a well-known feminist, men are afraid of being laughed at, but women are afraid of getting killed.

> These people have large followings and many apologists (like yourself)

But our power isn't comparable. We can write a few blog posts or HN comments. White men make the hiring decisions. This is not the same kind of thing.

> if you want to understand the kind of effect such accusations,

Sorry for not responding earlier to the Scott Aaronson blog post, but it's a bit long. I just read a bit bit of it, I'm not sure what part of that story you're referring to.

You can understand being part of a problem through no fault of your own, right? That's what I was trying to convey with the traffic analogy. To quip, you're not in traffic, you are traffic?
> just the fact I had a working github repos was enough to impress the hiring guys.

as opposed to a non-working repo? do you mean the code in it "worked" or just that you had repos up?

ANECDOTE TIME: I knew of a guy who was hired because his github profile page showed a lot of stars. It didn't dawn on them until after he was hired that those are things that he starred, not stars received for his projects. He had "a lot of repos". Cursory inspection showed all but 2 (of the 40+) were forked. He was a horrible hire, and left after a few months, but the dept manager who'd hired him (against input from some of the team) got uber-defensive about any criticism (this person was in way over their head from a tech and management standpoint) and... multiple people (surprisingly, anyone who'd made any criticism of the 'mr github stars' profile) ended up getting 'reduced' (laid off) a couple months later.
You'll notice the same usernames and patterns of argumentation every time there is an article with comments remotely criticizing (or even questioning) China.

Apple then cracked down on that and made the limit more restrictive.
At least here in Finland electric cars use the same taxation method as Diesel called "käyttövoimavero" which roughly translates to "usage power tax". This is based on weight so 0,015€ per day per 100kg. On top of that there is the "car tax" which is based on emissions which for electric cars is at the minimum which comes at 106€/year.

One thing I am sure of is that once the amount of electric vehicles starts to rise they will just up the "käyttövoimavero" (or come up with a new one) to make up for the lost tax revenue.

There are some fundamentals that make it relatively easy to pick up anything:

* Help system (nearly everything is self-documenting)
* Customization
* ELisp basics (write some helper functions in your .emacs)
* Debugging (Edebug, just do C-u C-M-x to instrument a fn and step through it next time it's called)

I've been a long-time Emacs user, and the "aha" moment happened when I realized that Emacs really boils down to three things: 1) a text editor 2) mechanisms to interact with your system (e.g. subprocesses) and 3) interactive and dynamically programmable runtime. Once you learn the fundamentals of those three things, the sky's the limit...
Their shareholders would flip out, no? Even the Chinese people who don’t support the govt would lament the loss of using the phone.
I just took the index of the data point (i.e. 1, 250) as the y-axis with the intention of "Stretching out" the data set along the y-axis. Otherwise the data would otherwise be illegibly compressed on a 1-D number line.

In retrospect, I could have better represented the data with 2 overlying histograms, but this (somewhat) captures the intent of showing that "more expensive houses tend to have more than 2 bathrooms".
I used to basically think it was insane that people would recommend changing the layout of my keyboard in order to accommodate the inefficient default key bindings of Emacs.

However, even though I long ago stopped using Emacs, to this day I still swap Caps Lock with Ctrl because it's a much more natural position for the control key once you get used to it.

What you say is true; I learned, and am still reminded of it, the hard way from time to time.

But it's nothing more than a problem waiting to be solved.

In my case I'm solving this problem by using static sites and managed web hosting.

Put simplicity where simplicity is due and segregate the more complex requirements. Static sites are going a very long way now, and a lot can be done with JavaScript on the client-side with modern browsers.

In many cases no back-end services are needed, but when they are, it can make a lot of sense to segregate them in a way they can power multiple sites with the same functionality requirements.

It's really up to the needs you have but in the end I feel it can really be worth it.

Heck, latest web standards let us componentize elements, we might all be better off with a global database that contains all of them in JSON or YAML format which we can load/dump from and that contains some kind of ACL (ala Firebase can do that).

Have a good day.
For those asking what problem this solves - it solves my problem. We have scripts for automating onboarding/terminations, services that authenticate with AD that don’t support SSO yet, etc. This fills a niche we definitely have.
The issue is that many European companies provide cars to their employees as a benefit. The employees then have to pay tax on their personal use of the car, at a rate proportional to the price. It's not the business owners who will care - it's the employees who have to pay the tax.

Sure you can. Restrict illegality to use/possession outside of a treatment program. There already are many things pharmacists are not allowed to sell without a doctor's prescription, including strong opoids.

You would probably not want this kind of prescription to be signable by just any MD though, but that's another story.
Yeah, there's a lot of fun things to do with it. Namespaces are especially cool. First you set up your minimega cluster (the nodes can auto-discover each other), then you run e.g. `namespace foo`. This creates a namespace containing all other nodes in the cluster (your machine is considered the defacto 'head' node but you could also add it to the namespace if desired). Now if you launch VMs, they'll actually get distributed among the nodes of the cluster based on available memory & current load. This makes it super easy to go from prototyping on your desktop to running the whole thing across a cluster--add a 'namespace' call at the top of your script and it'll Just Work.
To be honest, if you have to ask it's probably not one you're having. Things like this tend to be quite application specific. Generally, if you're doing much with AD directly, you'd be doing it via LDAP. However, if you need to talk to it (for some reason) through a web application -- this just might be helpful.

That's a very particular view of history. The USSR was distinctly not capitalist and it's citizens starved to death in massive numbers. China had the Great Leap Forward.

It's a straw man because nobody here thinks poor people deserve to starve to death. In fact my capitalist job allows me to pay taxes and support charities for feeding, clothing, and sheltering the poor.

Well, it wouldn't be without pay as you'd be paid for the hosting. If they all get hacked, that'd be on you for not taking preventive measures for it, right? The positive point is that it's easier to avoid being hacked than it is to fix it after the fact. Hosting it would be a passive income, which should typically be preferred, isn't it?
Thanks for the feedback, I co-worker just jabbed me with regarding the log property mistake also...

My difficulty with interviews is, I'm a fairly good programmer. But when asked to put these kinds of things into words, that's just not how my mind works. I see the patterns in abstract ways, and I know which ones to use when. And I can write clean code pretty well. And if presented with a concrete problem to solve, I can communicate effectively on how to solve it. But during interviews, or any kind of abstract discussion about "code in general" (whatever that means), I fumble and stumble and can't put my thoughts into words no matter what.

Once you find what you like about spacemacs, it is usually better to start with a raw configuration and add those things that you found and remove everything else. You end up with a much faster and lighter editor.
> Freedom of speech can be limited even as a universal human right.

They are inalienable rights because it's wrong to limit them, not because a group voted to recognize them. The ICCPR's position is interesting to compare and contrast to what is right, not because it's the authority on what is right.
There are other ways to do it, but if you wanted, for example, to build a tool for employee on-boarding/off-boarding as web app, this might be helpful. Or maybe adding password change to an existing web app that authenticates via AD.

There are existing REST apis for AD, so I don't know what this brings that's new.

Relevance is huge. If you're shown an ad for something that you don't care about (which is most of the time, for most people), it will not be effective. However the right ad at the right time is very effective. But that's impossible to get correct all of the time, so there's no choice but for merchants to play the odds.

Was a justification given for this? The company doesn't seem to be gaining from keeping the identity of the contributors secret (if they wanted to mask the fact that they were using a particular piece of OSS I could kind-of understand that -- but doesn't seem to be the case here).
