I was hopeful about this to replace my Ubiquiti cameras, but I really want something that is going to be PoE. Nest really seems to be all about WiFi, so I shouldn't be surprised, but am I the only one that doesn't want cameras on WiFi?

I put up some Ubiquiti cameras last year, we live on a pretty quiet street but we had some kids pulling shenanigans (a car window was shot out with a BB gun, our Little Free Library bench was drug out into the street, change being stolen from cars).

Since the cameras, nothing has happened, so that's a plus.

But the Ubiquity recorder device makes the system nearly unusable. For some reason, recordings usually stop while there is still motion going on, so I end up with a lot of little 15-30 second videos that show only the start of whatever is going on. I've fiddled with it a lot and had no luck.
You can get build caching with "go build -i". It's a not very well known option.

How FinTech Became an International Unifying Phenomenon
Recently needed random whole numbers from varying ranges. First looked up "random number generator" and got onto some sophisticated webpage where you could define your own set of items to be choosing at random from and have it list out ten thousand random results and so on. Really, everything you could wish for, but it was clunky as hell for varying ranges.

Then I decided to just look up "random 1 5", so that maybe a webpage which could deal well with intervals would show up. And there it was, DuckDuckGo understood immediately what I wanted and just generated one as an Instant Answer.
Changing the interval was a matter of changing those two numbers in the query and getting the next random number worked with F5. Could not have wished for a better tool for the job.
It lets you quickly see which search results you're walking toward and want to check the details on. You could get the same info from reading a result list, but if this takes less attention it's a good presentation.
It's a label trying to simplify a large group of complex people with complex political opinions. I personally like ideas from both parties on different topics, and my preferences change over time. The whole concept of a group of independently thinking and informed people liking all or nearly all of what a particular political party of two choices stands for is illogical (and probably statistically impossible).

Many people vote against a party rather than for because of the barrage of negativity each party pushes out against the other. That's why attack ads are both prevalent and distasteful: they work.
I was very interested in seeing what made your cameras and plans cheaper... but was disappointed. VIAAS seems to charge $479/year for 30 days of 1080p video and $399 for the camera. I don't use Nest's new camera but I have two of their indoor cameras elsewhere, for which I pay $150/year for the first camera and $100/year for the second (I think) for 30 days video. They also have a $50/year plan for 7 days of video. It also sends me e-mail and APNS alerts when it senses motion or people. So, I don't really see how your parenthetical assertion is true - despite really wishing it were true.

I have evaluated and intend to use a UniFi camera system at my home when I can get around to running the PoE wires.
Mistakes are meant to be repeated. /s

Still, an open question is why would they feel the need to buy an exisiting company? Couldnt they simply recreate a hardware company from scratch with their resources? HTC is not exactly a world leader or some unique innovator here.
Remember when google bought Motorola and we thought the moto x line was going to become the new nexus? And then they sold to lenovo and it's kind of been down hill in terms of software updates. Let's see what google extracts out of HTC and then sells to someone else with this company.
My blood is also cold. To get personal I feel as if I have extremely stunted social skills/development due to pressure to show my worth in the form of good grades. This became all consuming for me, and my whole life until recently my self worth has been tied strictly to others perceiving me as smart. Not a good look. Kids need 'organic' socialization.
Ooh, that's a good word for it. They'll refactor your children!
I'm kind of split on our current gray area about free speech on the web. It seems like the only way to do good moderation is if it's powered by actual people sitting behind computers and following a well-written policy. But tech companies have proven themselves totally unwilling to pay for that. I'd rather FB just said "we'll never pony up the wages necessary to moderate well so we're just going to make facebook a complete free speech zone."
I think this is a good deal for nobody but those HTC engineers Google is going to hire, at least short term.

The $330M price is so low none of the HTC investors are going to make any money on it. HTC's mobile phone business has been unprofitable for years and Google won't make any money on it either.

Who knows maybe Google is planning on using the HTC business unit as a sort of an R&D lab for Android hardware, with no real plan on making it a traditionally profitable business.
Your comment and its parent are both very good. I agree with you. Furthermore, there are conditions under which I consider DRM tolerable.

However, if DRM leads to a second hidden operating system in my computer, that has complete control over the machine, then I complain.

Also, DRM has an effect on the larger scale. Cultural heritage belongs to everybody. DRM might be used to effectively locked it away in a timeless manner. The right to exclusively make money with a book, song, movie, game or whatever must end at some point, and there need to be effective measures to preserve the works for the next generations independent of the creator. There are good reasons why we have libraries and museums. If DRM prevents that, then I complain.

This is not circle-jerking nor evangelizing. The arguments are very real and not theoretical. This position is not fundamentalist. I'm not against DRM because of some blind axiomatic position that is only relevant to a few.

To summarize, DRM is considerably less problematic if, first, it is seperated and isolated from the rest of the machine, and, second, it opens up after some time and releases the content.

> What are you talking about? Bin Laden took credit for 9/11 immediately

Both my recollection and Wikipedia (admittedly neither being authoritative) agree that Bin Laden denied involvement for some time after the attacks (Wiki says he didn't claim responsibility until 2004). The Taliban denounced the attacks the day of and, separately, stated Bin Laden wasn't involved (which might seem weird, but there's some background there that makes it less suspicious than it seems, though of course it could have all been deception). They also volunteered that they'd turn him over if we turned up evidence that he'd been involved, on Sept. 13th (again, of course they could have been lying or stalling, just getting the events/statements straight)

The US demand (Sept. 14th) wasn't that they hand over Bin Laden, it was that they hand over all of Al Qaeda in their territory, all their intelligence on them, and Bin Laden. Given that there were a lot of fighters on their side of the civil war who'd been through Al Qaeda camps, this was probably impossible to do without losing the civil war, between the loss of manpower, the risk (I'd hazard it was a near-certainty) of opening a new and dangerously ill-defined front in the civil war, and the loss of said training resources/facilities. It was never going to happen, and we'd been considering covertly or overtly pitching in with the other side of their civil war for a few months prior (that part I didn't know until just a few minutes ago) anyway.

[EDIT] reading over the sequence of events and the public statements of both sides the Taliban comes off as even more reasonable than I remember them seeming at the time, which was already "fairly reasonable". Could have all been lies, of course, but if you just look at the public statements and the timeline of events—how quickly it escalated—just, wow. At the very least it was terrible PR management on the US' part that we came off looking like unhinged lunatics compared with such genuine shitbags as the Taliban.
DO Not PANIC: How to reopen a closed tab
This is disappointing to read. I just bought an outdoor Ubiquiti camera and their little VCR-cassette sized device and in my indoor evaluations it worked very nicely. I was going to put it up outdoors, but maybe I should just skip that plan and go with a traditional Nest. The indoor ones I have work very well, despite being on WiFi. I do have a solid WiFi at home, though, with two Ubiquiti AP-AC-HDs, unfortunately stuck to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem with only 20Mbps upstream (despite 300Mbps down).
I will leave here the link of our 2014 paper, "Support for Various HTTP Methods on the Web" (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1405.2330.pdf) for the reference. The issue is described in section 5.3 of the paper.
I've been friends two former Navy UDT team members (precursor to the SEALs), both of whom were Korean war vets, and one former SEAL. One was an old girlfriend's dad and the kind of person you describe--unassuming, very decent family guy who I liked a lot. I had no idea he'd even been in the military, much less done insane things deep in North Korean territory, until I asked his daughter how he'd come to start a diving services company.

The other former UDT vet was my high school writing teacher, a sort of Yoda figure. He covered the clock in his classroom with a picture of the Buddha, so you got a little jolt of patience training every time you snuck a glance at the clock. Whatever small writing talent I have started with him.

Third was a friend's cousin who who'd left the service in his mid-thirties. For a while we were drinking buddies. We road bikes together for a while too, but that didn't last long--he was in such phenomenally better shape than me, despite training half as much, it was a mismatch. We were a mismatch in general--he was a bro's bro and I was like his token hippie friend. But we had fun boozing around for a while, and he was in no way damaged goods.

Speaking of booze, one amazing thing about Sadler was his ability to write so many potboilers while drinking so hard. I don't drink anymore, in large part because my productivity just went to shit when I was drunk all the time. Maybe it's more feasible to write purple prose than code when you're loaded.

If you click on A, you will be able to see if it is close to B or not. Or, more generally, clicking on a few points in a cluster on this map should give you an idea of whether you'll be able to travel easily between places once you get there. So I don't think it's as useless as you are making it out to be.

1st FORTRAN program runs, September 20, 1954
A pet project I've wanted to do for ages is to hack up a very high-detail (factoring in every road/footpath) isochrone map centred around my home, using openstreetmap data and render the result for a printshop at e.g. 600dpi to create a high quality map/poster

Any suggestions for the best (open) software to achieve this?
Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed listening to this.

Canary deployment for serverless
All,
I'm looking for feedback about a new product me and my team are now building, focusing on testing and deployment of applications involving serverless code. In an effort to increase the speed and predictability of the dev process, we want to enable canary deployment of new code as well as in production testing for serverless functions. Using this method, we want to enable dev teams to efficiently monitor the quality and readiness of their code as an integrated part of their production environment.

To achieve this we implemented an instrumentation of serverless functions using an intelligent serverless redirection module. This module uses a predefined policy to route events and triggers to achieve a well balanced gradual deployment of new code as well as in-production testing of the code.

As an example, the redirection module may apply a rule where only 5% of the production traffic will be routed through the a newly deployed code from ‘Branch XXX’. Another rule can determine that events that are originating from a defined source (filename/location, user pool, address…) are labeled as “Test-Traffic-Branch-YYY” and routed through a newly deployed code from “Branch YYY”

A dashboard will present all the configured routes (both testing and production) and related statistics for quality, performance latency and more.

The idea is to allow a well managed execution of multiple tested routes involving multiple dev pipelines on the same system concurrently, all within (optionally) the actual production context.

Using this framework we also offer a way for developers to work on their code In a controlled lab environment within the production context. In this lab environment, we offer a rich feature-set to enable developers to interact with their code using their own locally installed IDE and other dev tools for monitoring, troubleshooting and rapid deployment of new code changes as may be needed.

Any feedback will be most welcome!
OTOH, making mistakes is the best way to learn. Maybe they'll do it differently and knock it out of the park this time.

> I don't think anything happens right the first time.

This is irrationally pessimistic.

Nothing is perfect, but there is a huge, meaningful difference between slightly flawed and completely flawed. It doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be good enough.

Many things _can_ be done decently well the first time. Often times it just takes a small cultural mindset shift, and some minor improvements to the approach.

> Bin Laden took credit for 9/11 immediately

Do you actually believe this? If so, you are misinformed.

If you do continue to believe this: which misquoted video are you going to trot out for this claim? The 9/16 video? The 9/28 video? Can you tell me which credible Arabic translator regards either (or any) of these as "[taking] credit"?

Nobody seriously continues to maintain that Bin Laden "took credit for 9/11 immediately."

Perhaps you are talking about the November video (although obviously that's not "immediate")? Even if this video does show Bin Laden (which of course is very much disputed), the person in the video doesn't "take credit" in the typical sense of the phrase.

Amit, I like the idea, also I like the survey results.

Some tough love here.

I don't find most of the concepts you list are relevant to me. These are largely broad in appeal, moderate in engagement, but highly competitive.

For instance, I like to talk about "Sports". For me this topic is a way to break the ice with people, mostly I talk about sports to "be social" as opposed being social because I want to talk about sports. If I wanted to talk about sports it is no problem finding a way to do so, certainly I could do so faster than signing up to some list and waiting for a reply; it is kindof sad to think somebody would be so isolated they could not talk about sports.

If I were you I would not solicit users for an app you describe to them as "crappy". It is one thing if you are not proud of your app, it is another thing to deprecate it in a disgusting way before critics have a chance at it!

You always have to be careful when drawing conclusions about causality from observational studies.

> New research sounds a particularly disquieting note. A major evaluation of Tennessee’s publicly funded preschool system, published in September, found that although children who had attended preschool initially exhibited more “school readiness” skills when they entered kindergarten than did their non-preschool-attending peers, by the time they were in first grade their attitudes toward school were deteriorating. And by second grade they performed worse on tests measuring literacy, language, and math skills. The researchers told New York magazine that overreliance on direct instruction and repetitive, poorly structured pedagogy were likely culprits; children who’d been subjected to the same insipid tasks year after year after year were understandably losing their enthusiasm for learning.

Without knowing more about this study, it seems vastly more likely that sociological differences between the preschool and non-preschool groups explain this difference.
Getting groceries delivered isn't cheating at all. It's paying extra money to save time, which is often worth it for highly-compensated people. Additionally, if that is one of the main reasons you'd need to own a car, and getting groceries delivered allows you to not own a car (or to own fewer cars), then it ends up being a cost savings to you and better for the environment.
Have you tried using something like "uuidgen | pbcopy" from your command line?
This is true.

I had video of someone opening my mailbox, rifling through the mail, and stealing a check. Neither the NYPD nor the USPS gave a damn, despite this being a federal crime.

My neighbor did the same thing (not on good terms; allegedly looking for misdelivered mail) and again, no penalty despite having clear video of the crime. At least if he does anything else I can it out then and show his previous malfeasance.

OP's point is that it's shitty in high school, too, and that it kills your intrinsic motivation to learn, by associating "learning" with "memorizing boring, rote information without any particular reason to ever apply it".

And you can lighten up on the ad-hominem attacks and the clickbait cry-foul.
