i think they were successful in making it profitable, but whether they were good at growing it is debatable. the founders of youtube complained that they couldnt get the proper talent because google would veto all their hires and force them to take google insiders.

during that time, youtube mostly stagnated in many ways. it failed to develop online streaming and developing original content in the way netflix did even though youtube had access to larger infrastructure and investment from google. even competitors like vine showed some success and innovation, where as youtube is mostly the same thing it was when purchased. they have a lot of users/views, but i do not see any of that attributed to google.

MacBook (A1534)... I have no idea why anyone would buy it in lieu of a cheaper, faster MacBook Air.

I am guessing that is the MacBook 12"? For many good reasons: the 12" is much more compact and lighter than the MacBook Air, it has a Retina display, it does not have big, ugly bezels, it has much faster SSD storage than the Air, and it is fanless.

My wife has a MacBook 12" and loves it. I had a MacBook 12" (moved to the Pro 2016) and I miss the form factor and the weight of the 12".
What's the disaster plan for "DynamoDB doesn't exist any more"? There is literally nothing else like it in the world. I don't know of an idiot proof queue system that can handle the scales SQS can take either.
Might as well, it's basically useless. Very few sites support it, major ad networks instead have an opt out [1] that nobody knows about and if you block 3rd party cookies, isn't relevant anyway. Blocking trackers remains the end user's prerogative.

do it! that'd be my use case more or less.
Increasing the latency with which you respond to conditions seems like it comes with real downsides. They should just figure out a way to punish this practice.

People value free shipping because shipping is a scam in a lot of cases. I used to work for a company that made logistics software. One of our customers was one of those cable channels that hawks merchandise around the clock.

You would buy a ring (looks like a real diamond!), and when it arrived you realize "hey, this is just cheap costume jewelry" and send it back. They'd happily refund the price and express hopes you'd be happier with future items.

And they didn't care about the return, because they were charging you $8 (or whatever) for non-refundable shipping and only paying the shipper $1.20. So in the end they made $6.80 for selling you nothing.
But I did: if you read my comment you will see I literally wrote that you don't have to store the wallet yourself, just use some online wallet. Another option is a hardware wallet like Trezor.

What I don't understand is why would anyone who is so scared of using Bitcoin transfer money to Coinbase to buy Bitcoins. To me this is the same as withdrawing all your money from your bank while being super scared of having your own savings in cash at home.
hmmm. i suppose i have to collect my cookies and give them to youtube-dl...

EDIT: Nevermind, I just opened each track individually and ydl'd the URL, there weren't that many.
Hm, Diesel is also trying to do the "1-1" thing and is certainly focused on compile-time type safety.

I haven't used Slick, I'd be interested, if you have the time, in an elaboration with examples on this stuff.
I joined Aftership.com last year as remote employee, they have a vibrant engineering culture and they have very convenient remote friendly environment.

I think significant efforts are required from the team & company to make remote jobs possible and convenient, so its important to find a company that have remote-friendly workflow.

In case, anyone here is looking an interesting node.js remote experience, can email me.
Chrome and Firefox both cache hot code in its compiled (bytecode) form. This proposal addresses cold code loads. Many web apps update frequently (more than once per day) making caching much less effective, and cold code much more common.
I warn other developers at my company about this. When new projects spin up they're often very excited about using new Amazon services and will make any excuse to choose an AWS product over a stable open source solution. If I were a manager, I'd be very worried over the vendor lock-in.

I don't understand the preference for AWS over open source in many cases. Their services are "reliable", but they often have minute restrictions that will eventually bite you. You also end up having to pay for something you could get for free. Why use SNS/SQS when there are free pubsub/message buses out there? Most of the other devs justify this with the argument of not having to maintain the software themselves. "But RabbitMQ might crash! We don't have to worry about that with AWS!"

Anyway, I typically minimize the AWS services I use (S3, EC2, ECS) so I don't dread the day AWS blows up or, more likely, some VP or exec says we're moving to GCP/Azure because we got a better deal.
So I have mixed feelings about this situation. On the one hand, if the sentences were for drug possession, yes, I think its really shitty to incarcerate people for that. But if their felony was due to burglary or something more serious/violent, I do think they deserve the punishment.

I also agree that once the sentence has been served, people should not be punished any further, except where the occupation requires a clean record. e.g. I would be OK with pharmacies requiring no arrest for drugs etc. as a condition for employment, or drivers without DWI convictions etc.

I guess my point is: its not a purely economic decision. Sure you're losing tax revenue, but that's because you're:

1) Protecting society from a person who has demonstrates some lack of understanding/acceptance of its rules.

2) Cause significant discomfort/pain to the perpetrator of the crime so that they realize the consequences of breaking the law and hopefully never do it again.

This PDF makes a lot of good points. I am not a huge fan of it being a PDF though when it could be a simple HTML page.

Favorite quote from it: "It should be possible to
build interactive and distributed applications from piece parts."
Music recommendation is a relatively easy problem on one level, and a huge problem on another. If you are recommending music to a neophyte of a certain genre, we've clearly been able to do this for awhile in a way that has real value. But if you're trying to recommend music for someone who is an expert/aficionado of a certain genre, this inevitably annoys that sort of person. For the 2nd type of recommendation, it's hard to provide results of actual interest. Instead, you wind up getting recommendations for pale imitations of things you like. The 2nd problem might require something close to hard sentient AI to accomplish.

No. Many parents are literally paranoid about their kids being harmed, even though many areas have an all-time low of crime in human history. Not to mention, police picking up children who are playing alone and parents getting into trouble for being "irresponsible". It is f'ed up. Many kids just end up choosing the computer because parents make it easier to access than outside playgrounds and it's just as interesting.
We just have a fire tv with a pin. Each show and between each episode, they bring the remote to us and we decide if they (we) need another PJMasks or not. We also have a kindle which has a very good kids mode. We can set the number of minutes allowed for certain tasks 30min/day video, 20 min/day games, unlimited books. We can also explicitly set the content that is available in that mode. Which means once that's done, I can hand it to them and have a full 50 minutes to cook or clean or what ever I need to do without worrying about access to apps or youtube.

One of my favorite parts about it all is that my kids have been taking selfies, pictures and videos of each other. They are up into the thousands. They put on hats and shoot little films of them jumping off the bed. They interview their uncles, and make cooking and painting shows.

There's a lot of really cool things they do if you limit the non interactive, blob mode of the devices.
I think Starfall.com's content is a superior, safe alternative to YouTube for kids.
> Wow, only 30 days? That's very very low. REI and other stores here in the US offer up to a year no questions asked return policy.

REI is unusually customer-friendly, because it's a consuner cooperative. Most US stores do not offer anything like a year no-questions-asked return policy (30 days, many-questions-asked is more typical.)
Credit to OP, this looks like a really solid project. The CLI aspect of it reminds me of peerflix (https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix), which I've been using for a while and am pretty happy with (no affiliation, promise)
Blender was developed by Neo Geo for internal use. When they were acquired, the developer tried to sell Blender as a commercial product. During bankruptcy proceedings, the Blender Foundation was founded and bought the source code to release as open source.

"Incidents"?

You mean his crimes? No need to abstract reality.
It is not as easy as that would suggest.

Sure, you can build a longer blockchain, but nothing forces other people to accept that blockchain.

IE, people can checkpoint the chain.

Also, if 51% attacks consistently started to happen, that would cause the price if that chain to plummet to 0.

There is no point stealing money that is worth 0.
Is that purely a development (not advance, mind) of aesthetic and style, or is it in part because editing with ultra-frequent cuts is much faster and cheaper now than it was then, do you think?

One of Red Hat's superpowers is in hiring relatively unknown developers, and helping them become strong participants in the open source world. But their compensation isn't super high, and when you travel on Red Hat's nickle you have to share a room with someone else --- assuming you get travel approval to go at all. For people on help organize conferences, Red Hat is rather infamous about having their full-time employees ask for travel scholarships, which originally established to support hobbyist developers.

As a result, it is not at all surprising that Red Hat ends up functioning as somewhat like a baseball farm team for companies like Facebook, Google, etc. who are willing to pay more and have more liberal travel policies than Red Hat. If someone can become a strong open source contributor while working at Red Hat, they can probably get a pay raise going somewhere else.

There is a trade off --- companies that pay you much more also tend to expect that you will add a corresponding amount of value to the company's bottom line. So you might have slightly more control over what you choose to work on at Red Hat.

how would you set up a large pool?

two sets of say 5 disks in a mirror raidz1 would still fail if a disk in one set failed and a disk in the other set failed. I guess you could do a stripe setup of 5 sets of 2 disks in mirrors. Still it seems wicked risky to me. I do agree though mirroring has been the best for speed but a lot of that changes with nicer SSDs especially NVMe ones.
No. These advisory locks don't know anything about what you are locking. You name and you use the lock, not the RDBMS. That is you could give the lock the name `my-silly-lock-name` and that would totally work. As long as two bits of your code use the same lock name, they'll be executed in series. Hell, the code inside the code guarded by these locks doesn't even have to touch the DB. This is like a separate service your RDBMS provides that doesn't touch any tables, sequences, etc.

Essentially these are mutexes identified by strings that are managed by your RDBMS. That's all.
Hy is a great project. One unfortunate thing, though, is that no one has been able to successfully implement `let`, which makes writing idiomatic lisp almost impossible. I'm curious if anyone can actually prove it can't be done or is just very difficult (or too slow to be useful).
I don't follow Bitcoin other than on HN, but it seems to me that while they may both be legitimate, but they're still distinguishable, right? They may share the chain history, but only one of them produces blocks supported by pre-fork clients, right?

The situation doesn't seem analogous to me.
If AWS went down hard, it would be more than just "I can't watch Netflix".

Some people wouldn't be able to do their computer work, send receive emails, others might not receive their paychecks or be able to pay bills.
From what I read the problem with this specific case was they over stayed their welcome (they were given 12 hours and took 18) and that they tried to gather info on other cases (were supposed to stay within the case at hand).

So everything else seems ok... which blows my mind.
Unfortunately some states (eg: Texas) don't allow you to expunge a felony no matter how long ago it was. My sister-in-law's HS boyfriend was a criminal jerk and she got caught up and charged as an accessory for something stupid (theft IIRC). She fully admits she was rebelling by going after a bad-boy. She had a public defender who met with her once and told her to take the deal to get probation. Unfortunately the plea was for a felony.

It's been 20 years, she's married to a good guy and has a baby... yet that black mark still comes up on her record.

Gattaca was a supremely unrealistic plot because Ethan Hawke's character had any chance to compete with enhanced humans.
The nice thing about diesel is that it does provide compile time safety as well. Not sure if you alluded to that, but even though it doesn't have the FRM style it still offers that benefit of compile time checking. I personally like having code generation handle the boilerplate of making something queryable or insertable.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14911971 clearly mentions a defect. The parent post of that post matches your description though.
The latter part of this comment seems to confuse BCC/BCH with BTC.
That's quite a bit of hyperbole to say those two cases represent a "backward country".

I think the issue will be if other telco's use the same process (this time staying within the bounds of their instructions) on other cases.
Same question I had! Likely answer is YES (at least on HN boards and opinions to drive appearances, maybe not hiring for real).
Thanks for clarifying. A subjective note, the executed SQL is way more beautiful than the Rust code ;) and to me, defines the intention better, a nicer approach to me would be if the syntax/grammar would have been more SQLish.

And some people have a thick skin and are fine with others insulting then.

Places like 4chan are fairly popular, even if the discourse is often mean. Sometimes things can be so mean that it is simply ridiculous, and therefore funny, and therefore not really insulting or offensive.
"Though in all fairness I don't know whether he pulled that one off."

He didn't. In fact, that was his 2nd attempt at raising a fund.. he tried in 2012 right after mf. And he's currently working on his third attempt to raise a fund.

American digital nomad (not an accountant) here that transitioned an on-site w2 job in SF to full remote.

state taxes: I initially moved to FL where there is no state income tax. I have a FL driver's license and mailing address. In FL, you do not have to file anything.

federal taxes: I will qualify for FEIE [0] by being outside of the USA for the qualifying amount of time which basically means I do not have to pay federal income tax on my first ~$105k, but I still need to pay FICA.

In theory, most countries that I visit, I probably should be paying their taxes, but since my money only stays in America, the risk of getting caught is very low.

It is my understanding that there are things that can be done to get your taxes down to 0% if I was a contractor, but I don't make enough for me to take advantage of that.

No, that doesn't address the potential fear a customer might have.

And I didn't even mention the problems with an online wallet. Yes, you should fear online wallets.
They can't delete the keys without also losing the BTCs. They could transfer the BCC to non-existent addresses, though.
I want to do math with 2,3, or 4-element vectors. These will typically represent 2d or 3d coordinates or velocities. 4-element vectors may be used for homogeneous coordinates or similar. My point is that these are very common mathematical entities and should be explicitly supported by the language.

How these map to any particular processors resources is not my problem - though the three major vector extensions today all have 4-element vectors. Some support more, but that's not terribly relevant to the math I want to do. A smart compiler could pack multiple small vectors into a wide vector register just like they try to pack multiple scalars in there today.

I am not interested in vectorizing loops. I want to write code like this:

Vec3double position = {5.8,3.9,2.1};

Vec3double velocity = {1.0,0.0,0.0};

double timestep = 0.01;

position += timestep*velocity;

and so on. Yes, I also want the common use case of multiplication of vector and a scalar to be that easy.

Any paint program or graphics library (including font rendering) does a ton of this stuff. So does every 2d or 3d physics engine. Ray tracing. FEA software. CAD. The list of uses for these vector sizes is long and has nothing to do with auto-vectorizing loops. Of course there are plenty of applications where loop vectorization is valuable and I don't want to take anything away from that. I just want built-in support for these common mathematical entities in the base language.
> invasion of privacy (through computers)

Computers also enable absolute privacy via current-gen public/private-key encryption protocols. In fact, this is the first time in history that absolute privacy is actually achievable. This is also the first time in history that I can evade arguably-unethical government controls on my money by using a cryptocurrency. Also enabled by computers. The fact that everyone is willfully crowding themselves into just a handful of un-end-to-end-encrypted for-profit services is just laziness.

> environmental degradation through excessive economic growth (computers make an important contribution to economic growth)

I would agree that computers accelerate economic growth, but they also accelerate solutions to problems created by that economic growth, so I don't see how computers alone can be faulted for this. Also, if my laptop was solar-powered or if I paid for green energy for my home, then my carbon footprint is effectively nil (which reminds me, I need to get on that!)

"Fear of the unknown" is a terrible thing to choose as a motivator, because the unknown will continue to exist for the foreseeable future, we might as well take everything to its logical conclusion and see where that takes us all.

A lot of this seems to just be belief based on an antagonistic worldview ("the world is out to get me unless I'm vigilant and mistrusting") vs. a more positive worldview ("let's just move ahead; we'll figure it out as we go along; I'll trust others until proven otherwise; we'll collectively be fine")

IMHO Kaczynski experienced a traumatic event that changed his worldview to an antagonistic one. His literal trust in the world itself somehow got eroded or poisoned.
"Personal crisis."

I was a homemaker for a lot of years. I also happened to be too sick to hold down a job during that time, but homemaker sounds so much better on a resume.

Find a preferably true and accurate description that is palatable to employers. Then realize it is tough all over at the moment. LOTS of people are having trouble getting hired at all.
We don't have any automated systems involved in the hiring process. I checked internally and I guess we had specific reasons we didn't go any further.
watch out though.

"Is captainsparkles child-friendly?" or "child friendly youtubers" into google will return lists saying yes, captainsparkles is child friendly. He's employed by MakerStudios, which is owned by Disney.

Seems pretty solidly okay for children.

Except, when he plays with other people, they'll start swearing.

So, you have to prescreen everything, or have the discussion about language, or just not care about language. (Even if you don't care if your 6 year old says "fuck" I can pretty much guarantee that schools and other parents see it as a problem.)
While I agree there are bigger crooks who go unpunished, the solution is not to let the smaller crooks go free, but to also catch the bigger ones. BTW just to be clear, I'm not advocating harsher punishment, just equal punishment.
My interpretation was that the questioning was unlawful since they asked about other companies that might be selling these android boxes. They were supposed to limit questions to his particular case.
I can't imagine they'll continue to ignore the third largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Also it would be crazy for them to have encouraged their users to withdraw BTC prior to the fork if they were insolvent. I imagine it will all work out, though Coinbase loses lots of reputation points from me for by insisting on being so slow and reactionary instead of proactive like several other exchanges.
I mean, people in offices often feed their kids by turning up in offices. Some of those people even like kids, and sometimes, they even see instagrams, and /r/daddit photos/videos of other peoples kids. And even more then that, sometimes seeing someone who is happy with their kids, or kids that are happy also makes them happy.

kids + adults =/= perv
This is not in Uber's interest. From their perspective the purpose of the surge is to get more cars on the road. They don't care about drivers, they care about fares (riders).
