If memory serves me well, a friend of mine there killed mutant zebrafish larvae, after being done with them, with bleach (as the approved protocol). And another friend at Harvard cut the heads off lab rats with scissors like Heidi plucking flowers.

My understanding is the less you look like a human in the grand scheme of things, the more unspeakable crap we're comfortable with doing to you.
1) Do networking and listen. It's not about how great you are in your wildest dreams.

2) Deliver a little bit more than expected. That'll help to get you some recommendations.

3) Don't follow every new tech stack, framework whatsoever hype.

Choose your toolchain where you are feeling comfortable with.

4) Raise your hourly rate.
There's nothing wrong with it, if you're doing a great job based on past projects.

5) Say "No" to nasty, time consuming and time wasting clients.

6) Build your own brand to be proud of.
And a new recycling waste stream.
Cloud gaming is popular, but I don't think that this suits cloud gaming. When gaming over the cloud, your machine needs a high end GPU 100% of the time the instance is running, and your users play for many hours. The startup time for a GPU-dedicated instance isn't large in comparison.

I'm not sure it's completely fair to equate JavaScript hate with perceptions of dynamic languages in general, but there is a lot more work spent on optimizing JavaScript than pretty much any other dynamic language, so I'd agree that on a technical level the work done on JS engines is pretty impressive.
It's hard to see how to overcome the rotor inertia issue in larger craft. So I'd expect human-sized quads would just use collective pitch control. Here's a hobby quad that has taken this approach:

I completely agree. This is only hurting companies which business is to track their users. Which is why I personally have very little sympathy for people complaining that we're moving their cheese.
I am sure money is the main reason. All other reasons could easily be worked around if they chose to do so. I spent a few hundred more on my Macbook Pro just to make sure I have enough RAM and disk just in case I need it. If I had an iPhone (my Moto G5 has an SD slot) I would probably also go with the 128 model just to be sure.
Ask HN: Does dithering impact your programming productivity?
Sometimes I realize I've been kinda dithering for a while - programming, but perhaps not doing the tasks that will have high impact on project completion. Or maybe I've just started working on something interesting but not important.

I've started to think maybe this dithering time might be making a big impact on my programming productivity.

Does it happen to you? Do you find yourself dithering?
At some point however, the C# becomes so in-idiomatic or convoluted that it's just C in C# clothing. So one always needs to ask if it's time to just offload a task to a native library. It's convenient to have a single toolchain and not mess with a native toolchain though.
Considering I'm a single healthy guy in SF and have gone to the doctor maybe twice in the past ten years… this is straight up highway robbery! I should just ditch health insurance altogether…

> the cheapest credit card available in Germany has an annual fee of 39.99€, unless you move > $1300 a year via a CC

Only if you ignore the free credit cards that are independent of a current account from Advanzia, Santander Consumer, Barclaycard, Hanseatic, Payback, Targobank, ICS, and some I forgot.

Then there are also a lot of unconditionally free current accounts that offer a card (credit or debit) that can be used to pay that subscription, such as those from DKB, Comdirect, ING-Diba, Consorsbank, Wüstenrot, Norisbank, Fidor, N26, and so on.

Those offers are not hard to find, some of them are available for over a decade or more now. Even pretty much every consumer bank you can name in Germany has such a card on offer for less than 40€ yearly. That includes small cooperative banks. If yours does not you should consider switching (or opening a second account), competition is fierce.
The US is dead last in the G20, Canada is 2nd last. Our system still sucks.
Not particularly seriously. Platts does extremely in-depth monitoring of virtually everything measurable in the O/G production and exploration business. Their report today[1] does not show drastic shut-ins of production, nor do futures prices predict a huge impact.

Most offshore O/G production is back online. Hardly any on-shore was shut in. The refineries will have to go through their shutdown/repair/restart cycle but it looks like they will be back running in 2-3 weeks, up to maybe 6-8 for some.

>The majority is definitely not coming for what you call 'free benefits', and most of those who do will be sent back home in due time, if their home countries accept them back.

Those people are not leaving. You may tell yourself they're leaving. Your government may tell you they're leaving (someday), but when push comes to shove the media will be blanketed with sob stories and accusations of racism if anybody actually tries to repatriate them.
Yes, users will click yes on basically anything.

No, they won't. When the EU imposed new consumer protection rules not so long ago, it resulted in having to put some scary-looking legalese directly on your sales funnel pages if you were supplying digital content, even if said legalese was of no practical value to anyone including your customer. That alone was enough to hurt conversions, even if you didn't require something like a token checkbox to be ticked before continuing. The GDPR compliance requirements are potentially on an entirely different scale.

“Torrential”: a cruelly ironic etymology
The most well-known socialist economies were central command economies, it is true. But "socialism" isn't synonymous with central command. It's supposed to mean the economy is controlled by the workers, rather than by capitalists/shareholders.

In the USSR, the economy was controlled by the communist party on behalf of the workers. Under democratic socialism, enterprises are democratically managed by the people who work there.
How would you have a right to property without society?

Property, like money and other social constructs, require a society to recognise it. You can't "own" anything of other people don't recognise the fact that you own it. Which means you need society to govern who owns what.
So we are about to have net neutrality repealed over the objection of everyone except ISPs basically. Medicare isn't even allowed to negotiate drug prices, but our govt run single payer system will definitely be immune from regulatory capture. Right?
Not just that. One thing that worries me a lot about JS in this context is numbers: JS was designed to make it easy to use numbers and convert to/from strings without caring about the precision and exact internal representation. Which is perfectly fine for UI code and the like, but a terrible idea when you're transacting money.
Saying there were bad floods before and there are bad floods now doesn’t negate the claim that humans have made the problem worse.

This is a really cool idea!

However, I don't think this works very well on websites where you have to interact to get to other pages.

I just went to Google, searched something, and left a comment on one of the results, but I couldn't view the comment afterwards.

I can imagine many websites that this could be a problem for, such as an authenticated experience or a wizard where the step isn't captured in the URL explicitly.

But I'll keep this in mind for getting feedback on static pages for sure!

That bitcoin survived MtGoX espectacular crash and kept growing in value after that shows some resilience. I'm not sure other pure financial bubbles survived middle-of-the-way crashes before the final definitive crash.

That said, I believe there will be a lot of disappointments regarding expectations of bitcoin sparking a revolution. My belief is that it will be "only" one more tool among the several financial tools that exist in the world.

You don't need AWS keys at all. This enrollment flow flies in the face of best practices.

Intead, you should be providing your users with instructions to create an IAM role for cross-account utilization. Ideally in addition to the instructions, you'd provide a minimal CloudFormation template defining such a role, with your minimum required permissions.

Asking a customer to create a user and ship you a secret is asking for trouble.
You've got to give some justification for a claim like that.
Medical billing is ~1/3 of all heathcare costs in the US. That's everything from doctors filling out extra paperwork to advertising and profit for insurance companies. It's not uncommon for close to half the man hours at private practice to be spent on billing related activities, doctors just get paid a lot more.

Quality of care is not the only factor. Medicare spends a lot on end of life care without significant benifit. It's not a question of if there is rationing as we only have finite money, it's a question of what form it takes.

Worse a lot of unnecessary procedures and medication degrade quality of life.
I have been thinking that the ad bubble is a problem for a while now. Ads are basically to encourage consumption, and the US economy has been debt based for decades now.
Reliability, generally. Consistency, afterward. Cost, third.

OLED was hung up for years because the blue pixels had 1/100 to 1/10 the lifetime of the red and green one.

In addition, you would be stunned at just how good our visual system is at picking out imperfections. Anything less than perfect (especially involving green) will produce complaints.

After both of those, you can talk about cost and efficiency.
If all this is true then it sucks. Oh, not because of the phone as that seems cool! The issue is I want to be suprised at the Apple event. That is part of the fun. I hate all these leaks.

Nothing in that article demonstrates that the flooding was made any worse by any of the claimed mal-administration. The only demonstrable difference these days is that very heavy rainfall events are more frequent, and more severe. Which does not support the hypothesis.

Edited to add: I will grant that there is more damage, because there are more structures now. Also that many of the structures built in the last decade or so a infill in flood-prone areas. So that's a good candidate for mal-administration. But the theory that the actual floods are worse, in terms of area flooded, flood depth, etc., is not supported IMO without better science. Could be true. But what we know for sure is it's raining more.
Repeating Radio Signals Coming from Distant Galaxy Detected
The programming of nature has always fascinated me... Animals and insects always seem to have some mysterious ways of handling environmental calamities and surviving.

I recall an incident a few years ago here where I live in Australia. We live close to a series of cliffs overlooking a beach, and I walk along those cliffs every morning. There was one day when I noticed strange lumps on the grass and walking track. Upon closer observation, I saw that these were hundreds, nay, thousands of hermit crabs, and they were crawling across the ground and heading for every tree and bush in the vicinity, then climbing up them as high as they could.

I had NEVER seen hermit crabs do this before.

Then, two days later, we had a huge storm hit, and combined with unusually high tides, it ended up with most of the cliff top areas being flooded or overrun with water.

How on earth did all these hermit crabs know that this was about to happen 48 hours in advance of the event?? How did they know that they had to climb the cliffs and seek out higher ground within the trees and bushes there?

There must be an amazing environmental consciousness just thrumming along outside of 'civilised' human perception that I wish we could tap back into...
Yeah, if you want the data, you need to be able to handle the data in a compliant way. The other solution is to not collect the data.

But since that data will include things like routine server logs, back-ups of customer records necessary for statutory financial record-keeping purposes, and so on, it's never that easy. With such a broadly written law, you could spend a small fortune on legal advice just to find out what your real, practical obligations are to make a good faith attempt to comply.

Keep in mind that this is targeted at user tracking.

The intent might have been to go after user tracking, but unfortunately, that's not what the law they made actually says.
I'm not sure what is your experience with SD cards but mine have been a horrible one. It can impact performance, and even freeze your phone. Now if you buy expensive SD cards it could solve the .... oh, just buy the upgrade!
IIRC in the Netherlands about half of the premium is subsidized by the state (and 100% for children). The actual premium would be around 200 EUR per person.

A national single-payer spreads risk across the entire country, so states that are relatively healthy will end up paying for health care in states where people eat bbq ribs and sausage for breakfast.

I like the idea of a county based single payer systems where counties manage healthcare and they are incentivized to promote healthy lifestyles.
It's absolutely not about users caring for external vs internal. In case of Google, it's about forcing users into cloud services so that Google can collect all your personal information. Note how Chromebooks have ridiculously small hard drives, despite this compromising their usefulness as general-purpose laptops.
The Galaxy S8 runs 4.4, and has since release. Oreo the AOSP uses the 4.10 headers. But ultimately any vendor can integrate with a wide variance of kernels depending upon their needs.
It's also because most SD cards have garbage performance and wouldn't get anywhere near Apple's storage speeds. And that definitely would be a negative for the experience.
Maybe it's simply a matter of from whose point of view the story is being told. "They used my data without asking" vs "they won't let me use this data that I already have anyway".

It helps that it's painted as the poor resourceless scientist vs the powerful abusive entity (IRB). Rather than the poor resourceless patient vs the powerful abusive entity (hospital and its staff).
Fair enough. I just meant tangential in the sense that the OP was asking about data, not software specifically. But yeah, it is very much about working with climate models. Unfortunately I can't claim any experience working with the project myself... I'm only familiar with it in passing.

I'm not calling blockchains a buzzword as a derogatory term towards blockchains. I'm more using the term to point out the way blockchains are being used right now (e.g. marketing bad ideas and non-ideas as groundbreaking tech).

I have a habit of going into Incognito browsing often. Not for viewing any NSFW stuff, I just have this habit whenever I want to look up something that I know is very one-off and not related to my general interests. (habit started with Amazon and it showing me related products of stuff I wasn't interested in because I clicked on a link friends send over skype)

A few days ago I was sitting at home, remembered about a specific couch-in-a-box company, wanted to check out how the couch looks again, so I opened up Incognito as I always do, and searched for Burrow.

Later on that night, I saw Burrow facebook ads. Not only was I in incognito when I searched, and this time I was actually on a whole different laptop while on Facebook!

I suppose I am thinking of it from math/coding perspective where the right idea saves a ton of time.
Rust is a relatively hands-off style of thread-safety: it protects against data races but doesn't try to get things like deadlock freedom that other more restrictive systems require. The benefits apply when using locks, or message passing or even raw atomics (and similarly to higher level libraries like data parallelism in rayon).

However, Rust is also explicitly designed to allow access to the "raw rope" when abstractions don't cut it (or when building the abstractions): that is what `unsafe` allows.
Unfortunately that appears to only support western European languages.

Lol, wut. You do know that most people do not get their drinking water from glaciers, right?

Water is fairly cheap, in the modern era. And even if those "cheap" sources of water disappear, all we have to do is look at how current water sparse areas get their water.

Perhaps water prices might double in the next 100 years, but that really isn't a big deal because our economy is growing much quicker than that.

This is also completely missing the point that human consumption of water is a very small proportion of water use. Major city centers are never going to literally run out of water to drink.

Very worse case scenario, we'll have to reduce the amount of meat that we consume a bit, as meat prices go up due to the water price increase. (most water is consumed by farming applications).
> No, comments that are off-topic are noise.

All you're doing here is begging the question. What i'm telling you is that the comment does not meet the definition of "off-topic" and I've explained my reasoning for that, all you've done is repeat the same sentiment that "off-topic comments are noise" which is a completely non-controversial statement that nobody is arguing against. Absent of any further reasoning I am left to assume that you simply do not like the comment.

For someone with such a self-righteous attitude regarding the tenants of appropriate discourse, you're sure lacking in respect for fellow commenters by your refusal to provide any justification for flippantly dismissing others comments as "off-topic noise". Normally I expect others to provide reasoning for blanket dismissals, but I suppose you must be the definitive authority on what is and isn't off topic, so everyone who disagrees will just take your word for it and move on.

> You want to debate something else (like you're doing now!), go do it in a different thread.

Haha, this entire subthread is a direct branch off of your explicitly off-topic comment, yet you're suggesting that I go away because I had the audacity to push back on your blanket dismissal... yet somehow I suspect you don't consider your own replies in this thread to be off-topic noise. I have to respectfully conclude that you're at least twice as disingenuous as a person who will gladly expound on the reasoning behind their arguments.
Not actually equivalent to the median.

If all the scores are 1s and 5s, then the median will be a 1 or a 5, but the average will be somewhere in between.

The problem is slightly easier to understand if we consider the grading scale from 0 to 100. Then every agent, trying to manipulate the score as much as they can toward their "ideal grade", will submit a grade of 0 or 100.

The average will converge to the unique number, X, where X percent of the graders want the final grade to be above (or equal to) X.
