I travel a lot, and while I'm on the road my fiance often struggles to get to sleep. I've got a small microphone that I travel with, and I record myself reading Winnie the Pooh stories, and chapters from The Hobbit. I host them on my website, and she can open it up and listen to a chapter.

Children's stories are better for this, as they are usually written with the view of being read aloud. Plus they also make better bedtime stories :)

2) this one

The benefit, as the OP mentioned, is allowing them to de-risk certain growth strategies or investments.

I think it's totally healthy to maintain paranoia about AWS if you are competing against them.
Yes but Targets contribution is hardly going to make that big a difference.

OTOH the cost of moving cloud providers, if significant, is going to be an additional operational expense that would make them less competitive.

It's like Apple buying chips from Samsung.
> They really aren't

They really are? The back and forth is tedious.

The questions I have are,

1. What is the issue? (if multiple issues, start over one at a time please)
2. Once you decide the role of Government (which is still in flux), can it even apply to this issue?
3. Does it serve the public interest to nationalize this company to address that issue?

So the answer is no. We don't have a working definition of the role of government in the US, so there's no point continuing. It's rather simple to me, but I'm conservative (you don't disrupt livelihoods aimlessly in hopes it all works out).

The idea that you would break up a company to address an information aggregation problem is idiotic. I can see how this pans out....now we have N companies with the information. Some of the issues can't be addressed with brute solutions from the past...or it wouldn't be something to talk about at all.

I doubt that it is possible to nationalize Facebook since it means that you no longer have a global user-base and creating inter-op between such complex systems is all but impossible especially when we have hundreds of countries. This means that any free actor with one system for the entire world will always provide a better experience, so as soon as you nationalize a service most users will migrate away from it making the whole thing moot.

Not only that, there's one of his (many) quotes that fits nicely with this way of thinking:

"I save about twenty drafts — that's ten meg of disc space — and the last one contains all the final alterations. Once it has been printed out and received by the publishers, there's a cry here of 'Tough shit, literary researchers of the future, try getting a proper job!' and the rest are wiped."

On one hand, as a long time Pratchett fan, it would be interesting to see what ideas he was working on (I'll miss many of his characters), on the other hand and looking at other examples (cough, cough, Tolkien, cough), I prefer his legacy to be what it is today.

I recently got the ST3000DM008 model, so time will tell. :) I was aware of Backblaze's previous reports, but I doubt they are valid for consumers. A couple of cheap drives in a tower case with occasional read/writes and hundreds of them tightly packed together working 24/7 are two completely different scenarios.

Home users should just backup their important stuff and buy whatever they want. A super reliable drive won't save them from an accidental drop, a fire or theft.
Forebear Productions, USA- Hire iOS App Developers
> I heartily disagree that anyone should "detect a consensus" from leftists preaching expropriation. That's just an ordinary activity for them.

Have you missed the conservatives who both argue against net neutrality while claiming that Google (and others) are censoring content because they're too big to be just considered one actor (of many)?

Nationalizing a company would definitely be a left-wing endeavor, but to claim that "leftists" are the ones preaching about Googles unchallenged dominance is just misleading.
But as a fee relative to the amounts I'd expect someone to pay a software developer... it shouldn't be too much.

Speaking to a potential employer, I would say that if 30 USD is expensive versus the salary you are paying, then you are paying too little.

As an example, my employer hires developers in the Philippines and pays on average 5000 USD each per month. The cost of the wire transfer is 0.6% of that. I think we pay more per month on phone service just to talk to them.
An Introduction to MongoDB Replication and Replica Sets
That doesn't make any sense to me.

People in such responsible positions are on respective announcement mailing lists anyway, and read about those events (and patch their system and/or take other measures) long before the story is upvoted on HN.

For example, every administrator of Debian systems is expected to be subscribed to the "debian-security-announce" mailing list.

Also, everyone who is interested or active in German net politics is subscribed to the "netzpolitik.org" RSS feed, or visits that site regularily.

Waiting until such a story hits HN and reyling on that seems highly dubious to be. As soon as any important story hits social media (such as Twitter, Reddit or HN), all important measures have already been finished. HN is really the end stage here, not the beginning. It is the reaction, not the initiative.

In short: Use the real network and connect directly to the relevant groups. Don't rely on aggregation networks.

(BTW, isn't is almost comical that the latter, rather than the former, are called "social" networks?)
Two options that I can think of:

1. Experience: After a while doing what you're doing, you are an experienced developer/freelancer. You hit the ground running, you mentor, you contribute enough to justify your high day rate.

2. Go into Finance. Specifically banks. They hire contractors all the time. The work is terrible, the challenge is mostly dealing with the restrictions of the systems around you and the bureaucracy that envelopes everything there, but to counter that they pay well above market rates. In fact they pay silly rates. I did that for a little while and decided my soul is worth more.

The contract market is a funny one. Can be hard to find gigs one month, and have too many to choose from the next. But in general, going above 6 digits contracting is not that hard. Keep in mind that you have to manage your own taxes, so a good accountant is key.

Yes, the problem was Google Search treating Google Shopping (formerly froogle) differently to competitors.

Froogle was doing badly (from internal memos), and then when google started treating it differently it started doing well and other competitors started losing market share.

Being in a dominant market position wasn't a problem, and nor was them creating Google Shopping. It was using their dominant market position to give Google Shopping a benefit nobody else could get.

You can assign value to different world states. All of life is about trying to steer reality into branches we prefer! Every decision you will ever make is to increase the probability of world states you desire more. If you really didn't have any preferences, you wouldn't do anything at all.

And yes, I absolutely would prefer to live in the world state with optimal Kafka. You really wouldn't? If Kafka came up to and asked him to help you with his wording or something, you wouldn't assist him at all?
You seem to forget that maths and physics are meant to describe reality, not be reality. Any abstract concept (like numbers, forces, shapes, temperatures, energy levels, ...) we use to describe a real thing is different from that thing itself. If you think about it, even 2 isn't "more real" that Pi, because there are no 2 identical things in reality.

When we say "a human hand has 5 fingers", we use the abstract concept of "finger" to make that description. It is abstract because each "finger" is actually unique. It's just a handy approximation we use (pun intended) for descriptive goals.

Basic maths is not reality. Therefore no, irrational numbers do not "fall out of it".

Edit: format
Errr... I don't think this is as nice as advertised. I did a lot of technical interviews (as an interviewer) in a format "show me you project and walk me through it and I'll ask some questions" and for me the most important aspect was that the interviewee used their own computer, their own tools and showed their own project. That made the process as stressless as possible. Here Skype provides a code editor but that can be unfamiliar to the interviewee and may promote questions like "write fizz buzz" instead of deeper conversation about more complex design decisions.
FTA: "Why not unbundle the task and give the conscious thinking to the computer, and the mindless grabbing to the human?"

The article was pretty good overall, but this one's a pet peeve of mine. We're offloading our thinking to computers and this magical "AI" in hopes that all that hard work (and possibility for error!) is going to be avoided. But we're going to find out--or perhaps not, as we slip below the dumbness horizon, no longer able to formulate self-reflective thoughts ourselves--that thinking is joyful, fun, glorious, not laborious or error prone.

And as "soft" AI advances, we just can't admit to ourselves that this, too, will fail to deliver. To wit: if something absolutely must be translated between language A and language B, in 2017 a bilingual person will still _absolutely mop the floor_ with machine translation.

Google translate:
"Zum Witz: Wenn irgend etwas absolut zwischen Sprache A und Sprache B übersetzt werden soll, wird im Jahr 2017 eine zweisprachige Person den Boden mit der maschinellen Übersetzung noch niemals stoßen."

Bahaha.

That seems overly broad - a surviving old city tourist area might be well preserved but elsewhere, post-war city rebuilding programs were cheap, rushed and ugly. Even later development is unloved because "high-design" of the time was infected by Brutalism. These already troubled urban centres were then hollowed-out by economic troubles in the 70s leading to areas of dereliction.

Over the past few decades, urban regeneration programs have been widespread to remove the bleak post-war prefab concrete monstrosities. Unfortunately what is replacing them is cheap and uninspired compared to pre-1900 architecture so I can't see us valuing it that much in 100 years.

> These are all indicative of a bureaucratic system that places too much emphasis on 'process', losing sight of 'outcome' in the end.

Reminds me of something that Jeff Bezos (of Amazon.com) wrote in his 2016 Letter to Shareholders:

> Resist Proxies

> As companies get larger and more complex, there’s a tendency to manage to proxies. This comes in many shapes and sizes, and it’s dangerous, subtle, and very Day 2.

> A common example is process as proxy. Good process serves you so you can serve customers. But if you’re not watchful, the process can become the thing. This can happen very easily in large organizations. The process becomes the proxy for the result you want. You stop looking at outcomes and just make sure you’re doing the process right. Gulp. It’s not that rare to hear a junior leader defend a bad outcome with something like, “Well, we followed the process.” A more experienced leader will use it as an opportunity to investigate and improve the process. The process is not the thing. It’s always worth asking, do we own the process or does the process own us? In a Day 2 company, you might find it’s the second.

Intro to The Napoleon of Notting Hill, by G.K. Chesterton:

"THE human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children's games from the beginning, and will probably do it till the end, which is a nuisance for the few people who grow up. And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, "Keep tomorrow dark," and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) "Cheat the Prophet." The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. They then go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun."
What I think we often miss about technology is the underlying point here; no technological progress without social progress. We need a political movement to define a new social contract that ensures broad support for implementation of disruptive technologies. This is the essential challenge for our generation.
This is awesome. I'm seriously considering doing something like this where I live. Thanks!

> ... climate change will [not] inherently reduce predictability of short or medium range weather forecasts

In the broad sense that's totally correct: weather will still be weather, and the sensor data & computing resources we have to throw at prediction are only getting better.

One aspect of this specific conversation relating to climate change, though, would be the relative abruptness of multiple weather systems combining into much larger storms. Sandy, for example, became a Frankenstorm in part due to multiple slightly abnormal factors coming together. That trend should erode predictability across multiple axes.

On the order of centuries, compared with the otherwise ability to predict weather: I would expect to see a marginal decline in weather predictability as more events, and more extreme events, are added to the atmospheric system.

It takes time to get everyone on board, but if the platform works well people will change.
