I've noticed that Chevron is updating a lot of their pumps to have an Apple Pay/Android Pay option. In my experience with the two stations I use regularly is that the pump I choose has a 50% chance of working. But the annoyance is worth the security of not using my card.
I've not read it! But experienced folks will be hired more often than inexperienced ones. And lots of old programmer use vim/emacs and other CLI editors. So, it's not surprisingly. Do they've data adjusted for programming experience?
Yes truly. Especially since most classically trained economists don't tend to believe that income inequality actually matters, and those that do, tend to argue it only matters because people think it matters.

My bigger concern about the first chapter is that income inequality is actually a very advanced topic. That requires a lot of technical analysis. At the very least you have to discuss the concept of power laws which income distributions fit quite well, and is exactly what I would expect without direct government intervention. Making it the first section of the first chapter, really trivializes the topic.

Diversification doesn't hurt. Especially if it's at the expense of one of your largest competitors. Especially when your core market is mobile phones. Ask Motorola or Nokia about how being #1 in phones works out in the long run.
Possibly the bias of the author explains why such a hot-in-the-news item appears at the top of this document. Just a guess though, there could be a sane reason that eludes us.
That is not generally the case. Most index funds are 'market cap weighted' which means that hold funds in ratio to their market capitalization. If stock A doubles in price, it's market cap also doubles and the index fund will continue to hold the same number of shares.
I wouldn't touch Apple hardware. Using Linux there is a pain, so I'm not surprised about your experience. Lenovo laptops though usually work pretty well (as do Dell for example), so I'm not sure why you had hard time with it. In my exprience things work pretty much out of the box. You might need to install some firmware like for Intel WiFi, but that's about it. Stick to Intel iGPU (avoid Nvidia/Optimus), and you'll be OK. With new AMD APUs things should also improve for AMD based laptops.

I'm using Firefox, so can't comment on Chrome experience.
Once a security has entered bubble territory, by definition its price has become disassociated from any underlying fundamentals - bubbles form when rising prices drive positive sentiment which pulls in fresh buyers who buy into the rising price story, driving the price higher which in turn draws in more buyers in a self feeding cycle that only ends when the supply of fresh buyers dries up.

Because this is a self feeding cycle, the price can double & redouble from almost any point if the "story" is good enough. So you can be dead right about a given asset being in a bubble, but if you short it the odds are that you're going to get painfully stopped out long before the bubble collapse finally happens. As Keynes said, prices can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent: The history of investing is littered with individuals who were right, but lost their capital because they were simply too early.
I wonder what the margins are on these, or if there is any margin at all...
Your points 2 and 3 are actually integrated part of human nature and ending ads is not gonna help a bit; looking for a common enemy in order to start a mob by yourself (and therefore polarizing people) has always been a thing; it's just that now Internet allows absolutely anyone to do it, which includes anti-vaxxers flat earthists and millions of other intellectually decadent views.
you just appended your skills list with "* vim

Eminence helped slow down science down enough to be digested throughout the community in the pre-internet era. Eminence was a proxy for a level-0 filter on good science.

As the world moves to become more connected than ever, eminence is too slow and inefficient. Hopefully we can come out of this with evidence as the new king and not some other proxy. We're gonna have to make some changes to get there. (Publication bias, replication prejudice, preregistration, better statistics, reporting accuracy...)
If the slope were that slippery, you couldn't do anything: "Now you want me to do the dishes. But if I agree to that, you will soon ask me to build a spaceship!"
+1 for SourceTree, mostly for the per-line committing. Curious what about it makes you unhappy; it's always done what I've asked with minimum fuss.
I'd like to hope they don't!

Interviewees, however, tend to get flustered if they can't remember the method names. It's another rock on a pile that eventually leads to nervousness collapse, something that happens far too often, so after a few dozen interviews I've started stressing up-front that no, it doesn't matter, I'm not scoring you on that.

That, on its own, produced a measurable increase in average score.
Oh wow. That's a surprisingly long list. As someone who actively backs multiple people on patreon, I'm surprised that I didn't see this before now.
Create enough FUD around the technical interview and you'll always get people trying different things to improve their chances with these kinds of approaches.

I can't count how many people have assumed I'm good just because I can drop technical words intelligently into a conversation, so there's also going to be some lazy folks looking for vim/emacs usage and judging someone's abilities to be a bit higher because of that.
Agree it's better to debate in an open forum. Free speech should permit the exchange of all ideas, even "evil" ones. But isn't it a bit disingenuous to compare r/The_Donald to ISIS, since the latter is inciting violence?

>Whereas many moons ago marketing was just about giving your brand an image, and making people aware of it - it has now turned into an all out psychological assault.

Excuse me, but what world are you living in? Marketing has been an "all out psychological assault" since the ~1930s. See toothpaste.
+1 Same. Automation and integration is fairly frictionless if you're on AWS.
There have no doubt been scores of security analysts doing this for years, but I'd imagine that this can only go so deep, as I doubt they're openly scheming on Twitter.

It does however provide a window into some of their recruitment behavior, as these types of outlets are the easiest places to lure vulnerable or impressionable people into deeper, darker corners of their propaganda networks. But I have to imagine that if you were to shut off their ability to lure people there in the first place it would do more to fight them than watching and following them.
We don't even have to guess, since that's exactly what Neanderthal does. Also, I micro-benchmarked lots of options and have yet to find one that fills similar use case that is faster than Neanderhtal+MKL on the CPU, regardless of the JNI overhead (minus the obvious direct use of MKL, but that is much more low-level code). Also, most higher level libraries have considerable overhead. Neanderthal's overhead is tiny.

OpenBLAS's huge drawback is that it only supports BLAS without LAPACK, sparse, tensors, FFT etc.

Anyway, regarding the OP's comment, I guess that they meant to suggest implementing all that in pure Java, not Java + FFI, since then the native code has to be written in non-Java.

Rosetta was also removed after two or three releases. 32 bit support for applications in iOS was also supported for a couple of releases and is now gone.

How is that not similar? I can't still run Rosetta to this date...
You can also set your browser windows to automatically mute on chrome. I think in high sierra macOS will do it by default.
In Norway, on the 3rd cycle, if it actually accepts more tries, you have to sign the receipt and if the purchase is more than 1000 NOK/130ish USD (might be higher) they have to phone the bank to verify/get a verification code to put on the shops receipt.

Often it will just deny the transaction completely and the shop queue grows _looong_

Very curious about this also. I tried out a tablet last year and was shocked at how slow it was. Best I could tell, it was good for reading Kindle books, watching Amazon Prime shows, and shopping on Amazon.com. At the time, it was basically an "Amazon tablet", not a general purpose tablet.

Hope this generation is faster, but based on their price points I'm guessing it'll be similar to previous generations.

edit: per Ars, the processor is 30% faster. Not likely to make a huge difference in usability, but a welcome upgrade nonetheless.

I have a different technological perspective on this. Having traveled and lived in Asian, Chinese-majority cities/countries, this is a typical Chinese govt. move. In China, WeChat is a dominant player (by Tencent), a LOT of the transactions in China happen through WeChat, which offers seamless payments integration. The penetration is so strong that even poor, road-side sellers accept money through WeChat. Almost everyone has a WeChat account.

This in my personal opinion - is to prevent BitCoin from posing a threat to their homegrown technology industry, which is honestly no match for what we have in the Americas.

List of banned companies:

Google - Because they want to protect their clone Baidu.

Twitter/Facebook - Because they want to protect their clone Weibo.

YouTube - Because they want to protect their clone YouKu.

.

.

(it's a long list)

BitCoin banned - Because they want to protect their homegrown WeChat.

Just my opinion.
Yep, thanks, I'm aware of the history of the term.

Think back to what I said about crossword puzzles. If China had a world-class crossword puzzle team, winning every competition, why on earth would they seize their own team's pencils? It wouldn't stop the competitions from happening, and it wouldn't stop other teams from winning them.

I'm not trying to be a pedantic prick on the internet, so please excuse me if I'm coming off that way, but I enjoy this topic a lot, probably too much.
It would be great if they also included a pricing calculator/model for all those AWS things tied up together.

If cloud providers want to be seen like utility providers, they need to provide a simple pricing model analogous to Watt and kWh in electricity for users to be able to estimate costs easily.

Yes. I use Terraform to pull secrets from Vault and insert them into Kubernetes secrets so that there is a single source of truth.
I went to LA for a trip this summer and a charge of $99 from a gas station appeared on my card 2 weeks later. I got it reversed, but it is still a hassle to change the card number everywhere.
The sophisticated linear algebra practitioners I learned from all said "ko-LESS-key". People who ask me naive questions about the decomposition ("wait, is it upper triangular or lower triangular?") say "choe-LESS-key", or "CHOLES-key", or mutter something even farther off the mark.

Thus, I'm sticking with ko-LESS-key.

Also seeking opinions on: Weiner (as in the process), and Jensen (as in the inequality), Fourier (as in the series).

Tulip supply is inflationary since tulips create more tulips. Bitcoin is more similar to the market over Superman #1 than Tulips, as Bitcoin has a known and fixed supply. However neither Superman #1 nor Tulips are not as liquid or as difficult to counterfeit as Bitcoin. In fact there has never existed a collectible as difficult to counterfeit as Bitcoin.

very thorough article - I've always wanted to know how these worked. I had no idea that many of them used Bluetooth / serial etc.

One revision to the post I'd like to see - I'd love to see a section on how they attach to the actual reader. I know they mentioned MitM attacks, but do these readers fit over the top of the skimmer? underneath? behind the entire skimmer? are the visible from the pump itself?
If you define money as hard assets, you don't understand money. I suggest reading "Debt: the 5000 first years".

I always see a lot of flak around space on iOS upgrades. I seem to always have a ton of space.

I never delete iMessages, I take a fair amount of photos (16GB) and I have about 10GB of podcasts and 3GB of Spotify tracks...

What generally burns up people's space on their iPhones? Am I just not taking enough photos?!
You pay $5 for Tweetbot, and they work delivering updates for years before asking for another (usually b/c of many new features or hard work updating the UI for modern iOS)

It's one of the most polished apps around. You don't owe the Developer's time indefinitely from one $5 purchase, and you're free to move to an alternative. I'm happy to continue to support the apps I love -- they generally aren't asking a whole lot.

Additionally, in the case of Twitter clients, they also can't add a lot of new customers b/c Twitter has capped their allowed clients. If they didn't charge customers again, they wouldn't be able to sustain the work with new ones.
Or you could just use Spacemacs.

Very nice. How do you handle so much development work while balancing scope creep given that you're an all encompassing solution as opposed to handling different parts of it? I've been looking at extending my app to include many other components without overstretching myself.
This is complete nonsense. It's completely trivial to get code completion.

Its wholely unrealistic to suppose that someone would spend hours to days learning emacs but not spend 1 minute adding a completion plugin.
I'm sure this is a great resource, only "Serverless" is really the worst possible tag to put on something requires a server per definition. I mean, Zeronet or anything else truly distributed, OK, but not for something that's simply characterized by running on a formalized serverbase like AWS.
1btc is actually equal to 100,000,000 satoshi, and if it ever gets to a point where that's not enough supply, people can just split satoshis further.
Well, it's totally possible to lose a btc irrecoverably.

Secondly, at some point, calculations become onerous. Like, if btc is $100k/coin, then normal, every day transactions will need to be in 0.000001 coins. Which is an incredibly annoying unit to work with, it's trivially easy to miss an order of magnitude, i.e., 0.0000001 at a glance, is that a dime, a dollar, or a ten?

Accidentally give a $100 instead of $10 once, and you'll be annoyed, do it twice and you're done using btc.
To whomever inside the ad industry that keeps making remarks such as this, I'd suggest that this is equivalent to free advertising for Apple.
I started coding professional on Xcode. Then I tried a couple of other IDEs until my work in lisp required I give emacs a try. I eventually went back to other languages, mostly C++ and Python, but still use emacs. It really spoils you for text/code editing forever. Once you get passed the learning curve, every other effort to edit code or text in other programs seems ironically so archaic. What? I can't split the buffer quickly and get another one? What, I can't quickly bounce back to my previous editing window configuration, then bounce forward again? What, there is no visual undo tree? The list goes on and on. I now use the Vim emulation inside emacs which has been the killer feature in emacs to further boost productivity.

And, last year I passed several rounds of technical interviews with one of the top 5 companies in SV, so perhaps I support the statistics presented here (though I did not get to use my chosen editor for the interviews, so they did not know I am an emacs user).
I thought people used OSX/Win for video editing?

To me, the big idea of sketching daily is sketching daily. It's not lessons. It's not getting reminders. It's not a system that tracks progress...because I can see if my sketches are better or worse and the better and worse that matters is "better and worse for me."

An example of a site that does not require signup is this one. The most important user function -- encountering intellectually interesting material -- does not require signup. And my suspicion is that most of the people who create an account, read Hacker News for a while before doing so and that many people read Hacker News for a long time without making an account (unless applying to YC). And it is worth noting that an HN account only requires selecting a user name and password: no email and verification nonsense.

And again it is worth emphasizing that HN offers substantial benefit without signing up. The same with Google because singing up is orthogonal to the core function.

Looking at SketchDaily.io, the reminders and email are orthogonal to the acts of sketching and learning to sketch. They apply as much to sketching with a pen on paper as to sketching on a web site.

Because a person can sketch daily using a pen and paper instead of a website, the value of the website has to be in providing a better user experience. The odds that providing a website with a valid email address will provide a good user experience are often close to zero.

Maybe there are great features behind the signup screen. Maybe there aren't. Putting the signup screen in front of those additional features means that the website misses the opportunity to sell those features to any potential user who does not want to bother with the friction of signing up.

How bad is it? Well I'm no your page and your signup process sends me away from your page to another application in order to verify my email address and I cannot proceed until I do. So I can get distracted or not bother or the email can go into my spam folder or just get stuck because SMTP is an unreliable protocol. And all of those things stand between me and whatever enthusiasm I had five minutes ago.

I mean it's good for Google if I check my Gmail account. It's not good for me. It's probably not really good for your site either because your site gave me a chore. And the chore is in lieu of what is really useful for both me and the site...my use of the site so that you can learn what works better and worse and make improvements.

I'd put it this way, two people have complained about signing up after actually landing on your page. This might be evidence that some fraction of potential users don't see an obvious benefit from signing up. If the signup was not there, you might have received more interesting and better feedback about the actual function of the site rather than its administrative policies.
Thank you! Im definitely going to offer monthly subscription plan so I can sustain it. Im okay to have just 10 regular users to keep it going since I want to keep it live just for my sake as well :)

Fascinating, but what does it mean. I can dream up explainations, now after the fact, for this and the other interesting results in the article, but I wonder what the real reasons are?

For example, Eclipse is the standard University Java course editor. Users that have switched to IntelliJ have probably had more time away from University and hence more experience. Is this the reason, or is it a "just so story"?
It's only cash if the company find a way to make it real, though.

I can list some pros (comparing to debian:stable-slim) for Minideb:
It is easy to build, has good documentation, has no blobs committed in the repo, is automatically built and tested on a daily basis.

Worth also mentioning it is the base image for ALL the Bitnami Containers that at the same time are also automatically built, updated and tested.
You can take a look at all of them in Github. There are a ton of them
Interesting, they are adopting the same pattern that I had discovered for AWS modules:

* all modules take in a var.name and var.tags variables.

* if the resource has a unique identifier, use var.name as a prefix (eg: "${var.name}-elb")

* all resources are tagged with the Name merged into var.tags

This allows to (1) avoid name clashes with the name prefix and (2) make sure everything is tagged and easier to filter by on AWS, while deferring most of the tagging decision to the user.

See https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-vpc/b...

EDIT: there is still an issue with autoscaling groups who take a list of tags instead of a map. https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-autos...
