Is there such a thing as a Cloud NAS/HD Service?
Hi all,

So my external HD (6 TB) is running dangerously low on storage at home (filled with all sorts of files including video files, software, back up files etc.)

I was researching around to get maybe a bigger HD but external HD's in a mobile/travel form factor seem to top out at around 6-8 TB currently which isn't enough I am afraid. Desktop HD's and NAS units go up higher than that but I do need the mobility as I travel often with it.

I figured why not sign up to a cloud service solution that way my files are always accessible no matter where I travel. Problem is I need a service that allows me to keep my current file structure (preferably a mapped drive of some sort that allows drag and drop of multiple file types). I should also be able to store as much as I want - no bandwidth limits, no storage limits etc. Does such a service exist? If not, any idea as to why not? Any help is appreciated.

We have this problem in DC. We have a large homeless population, an extremely liberal population, and countless cries for housing, and services for the homeless. Yet as soon as the city decides to build a new shelter, or low-income/free housing, it is those same people who are the first to scream: "Not in my backyard!" Homeless integration in established communities works, and we should not support those who want to banish the homeless, and their support systems, to far-flung places.
No, it's even worse than that right now: https://petertodd.org/2016/cypherpunk-desert-bus-zcash-trust...

The software those people ran is a single point of failure that hasn't been properly audited. As one of those people, all I know is I attempted to faithfully run a DVD image; I have no idea if that DVD image was backdoored.
While I'm sure there's not much practical benefit to this, I am glad this exists.

That is what we call in Australia a "furphy". SRV records do not intrinsically require an additional lookup or round trip. Poor zone configurations may fare less well. But that is true of all poor DNS configuration. For sites that care about resolution speed, they already optimise as necessary, and they would for SRV as well.

Browsers do not own the A record and should never have been using it in the first place, so to continue squatting them and invent specious reasons for doing so is simple arrogance and assertion of unwarranted privilege.

Instead we have the multiple warts and misbehaviours of misusing the DNS for URL endpoint resolution.
Ask them about it :-) but I could guess their logic:

- They don't want people to vote.

- Maybe if it's suspended you should refrain from going on with it until there's a ruling.

- They know what how they want the ruling to be, so they act like it was done already. They're just working on making it legally sound in the meanwhile.

Choose whichever you prefer, all those are guesses. The fact is that there's no ruling and that's easily verifiable.
You're not lying - I just downloaded it, and it is crazy fast. GMail (maybe not the best metric, but an important one for me) loads about twice as fast as in Chrome, and scrolling has no stuttering at all, even on very long pages.

I may actually make the switch.

Toronto is the fourth-largest city in North America (after Mexico City, New York, and L.A.), and its most diverse: more than half the population was born outside Canada. You can see that walking around. The crowd in the tech corridor looks less San Francisco—young white guys in hoodies—and more international. There’s free health care and good public schools, the people are friendly, and the political order is relatively left-­leaning and stable; and this stuff draws people like Hinton, who says he left the U.S. because of the Iran-Contra affair. It’s one of the first things we talk about when I go to meet him, just before lunch.

The above paragraph taken from the article is an example of why these kinds of articles are frustrating. This is filler. I want meat.

bindgen’s C++ support is better than it used to be, but still pretty limited, e.g. no support for inline functions, or their moral equivalent, methods defined within a class definition (which most C++ code has a ton of). And even if it works, to quote the documentation:

> using [C++] types in Rust will be nowhere near as nice as using them in C++. You will have to manually call constructors, destructors, overloaded operators, etc yourself.

I think you should read the US and UK words on this referendum as "saying no but nodding yes". For geopolitical reasons (see: Bosphorous straits) the US/Western Bloc can't afford to piss off Turkey. But in a vacuum I'm sure the US and Brits are perfectly fine to see a Kurdish state. The result is that the US and UK will pay lip service to being anti-secession while doing nothing to stop it on the ground.
I would agree with your reading and at the same time I also think it is morally sound to go to war with the South to free up the slaves from the South.

The referendum is invalid from the get-go. You said that “People who think they should remain part of Spain will go out to vote No”. Do you really think they will? Maybe you’re right and they won’t pay attention to the “anti-democratic leaders and organizations” (!) asking them not to participate...
that's kind of my point

It's work remembering that many times progress of held back by ideas that "aren't even wrong." The Perceptrons book wasn't wrong; it just attacked the wrong questions with an inadequate level of certainty in it's assumptions. It may be that we feel that we understand where machine learning is at now, but actually have a huge amount to learn because of inadequacies that we aren't even aware of.
So I think you're right that a lot of properties listed on the low-end of the "sort by price" option will tend to be teardowns. But we also need to address expectations - typical housing affordability figures assume a household, not an individual.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United... the median household income in the US is at $59k, with most mortgage lenders preference for max of 30% to go towards mortgage payments the Zillow estimator https://www.zillow.com/mortgage-calculator/house-affordabili... tells me that a household earning $59k can afford a $360k house after a $70k down payment - reasonable assumptions considering the 20% down payment requirements. Potential total affordability goes significantly down if the 20% is not met, as I'm guessing you get screwed on interest rates.

Is a significant portion of housing stock in the US priced above $360k?

The article then goes on to attribute almost all of Sweden's success to deregulation and anti-monopoly laws---i.e., less government intervention ∝ more startup success.
An editor or IDE could shell out to an arbitrary minimap generator instead of incorporating it inside. Composition of small components, each doing one thing well.

Agreed. It's no excuse.

The fact that they were a somewhat critical component of the Western financial system and didn't recognize their vulnerability to nation state attacks (if that's what this was) makes the behavior even worse.

Hopefully someone is taking stock of weak points to the system global system and making some sort of corrective plans but I sort of doubt it. Which is alarming. We all like to think adults somewhere are in control but it looks like maybe not.
Thanks for the links! From them, he was asked whether he was under contract by the Generalitat to do it.

If they can't find any evidence of such contract, I expect the charges will be dismissed and his stuff restored.

I don't think the argument that he's not allowed to do it, by his own will with his own funds, will hold in court; if I understand the law correctly. I guess at most he might be in trouble regarding the Ley de Protección de Datos, IANAL and I wouldn't know. In any case if private data-handling is fine and still the law wouldn't allow it, that law needs to be changed.
Running terribly on Firefox for Android here as well, but really smooth in whatever browser my HN app uses (I assume Chrome). That said, the Chrome(?) version kept dropping blocks early and Firefox was more accurate...
Carbon and oxygen are available in lunar soil, hydrogen is another matter.
If they make claims in their ICO-related documents that the coin is not a security when it is in fact a security, then they are committing securities fraud. You're right that if they straight up said "this is an unregistered securities offering", it would not be fraudulent.

Yes. Oxygen is plentiful in the soil. You might have to bring your own hydrogen, but it's nothing if not light.
Not necessarily. It's good to use a hierarchy, but they're still sharding. And the client has to contact all the tablets directly. And the client has to use certain key naming conventions to benefit from the sharding. And there's a seemingly unnecessary amount of round trips. And a lot of other extra complexity, to the point where a bigtable can perform very efficiently, or it can perform many times poorer, depending on many factors. It sounds like a pet rather than cattle.

The downside of sharding is operationally it's a pain, and operational pain translates into pain either in your wallet or for your employees or customers, none of which you want.

Hierarchy is supposed to give you management, access, and performance gains, but if it's too specific you have to use the data exactly how the database wants you to and then you can't take advantage of general interfaces. It shouldn't get in your way, it should just give you free performance boosts with known guarantees and be as simple as possible while also surviving scaling.

I'm not saying this is easy, or even feasible, but it's where we should be headed if we want dev, ops, and the people in suits to be happy.
good example of cynicism

I was actually thinking about switching to Chrome because of GMail (or rather Inbox). When I open Inbox in Firefox, it can take 20 to 30 seconds for the cursor to stop spinning and I have a 300 Mbps connection.

Colonization has, previously in history, always required an export from the colony. Carbon might be that, for Mars (from CO2 ice.) Or possibly hydrogen, although that's abundant in asteroids, Ceres, etc.
I'm not sure what about it isn't useful? Having implemented something like this previously and trying to wrestle with the native drag and drop API this is a huge win. The different interactions needed are all in the demo.

High government spending and deregulation are not the same thing.

While Mozilla has had quite a few projects that didn't really pan out, I'm not sure you're giving them enough credit.

They developed (well... became the first and most significant major backer of) an entirely new programming language, purely for the purposes of building a better browser. And then devoted tons of resources for years into developing Servo, a massive and complex project that is only being realized now. I'd rather they think big and be ambitious like this, than be yet another stagnating tech company kept alive by former glory.

Also, it's unfair to argue that they have neglected the browser. Firefox is a massive legacy codebase that couldn't be cleaned up without breaking A LOT OF THINGS, and at every step in the process they faced people begging them not to break their things, despite the alternative being the continued rot of Firefox's internals. But they did try, for years, to move forward without breaking everything - it just came at the cost of glacially slow and cautious progress.
This is beautiful! It's amusing to think that most of this can be replaced with a single iPad.
>So the claim that Snowden is a proponent of Zcash because he has invested in it has no merit.

Maybe you're using hyperbole. The /suspicion/ at least, has plenty of merit. I agree that doing something like that would go against his track record, but believing a subjective statement on face value doesn't keep that track record intact (except in your own mind, maybe).

I trust Snowden's opinion as much as anyone here, but you can't ignore basic precautions simply because someone is popular for "the right reasons".

I very much think that Mr. Snowden would agree with my frame of mind on this. You may disagree.

Chrome only has it for each window, but Firefox has it for each tab. So much nicer.
FYI, it looks like they are working on a webextension version of Xmarks.

This was a big relief for me, as it was the one extension I was really sweating on.

That said, I would love if there was a Chrome sync for Firefox, or Firefox sync for Chrome capability to sync bookmarks across them both.
Luckily all court orders in Spain (like in most or all western countries) are explicitly reasoned in the order itself, so there isn't a need to ask the judge or guess. The people getting served those orders can publish the legal reasoning given.
I used this as well. Very impressed. Upon revisiting thr site that I built with it I have noticed chrome no long stops scrolling whike you are dragging an element on mobile. So that's a bummer.

Disclaimer: I have no expertise in AI.

That said, I agree that learning how the brain works seems unimportant and unnecessary. Evolution doesn't know how a brain works, but it's given us Einstein, Michelangelo, and conversations on HN.

It seems really important to learn how to build evolution into attempts at AI, given that evolution is the only known mechanism that leads to what we recognize as intelligence.
I live nearby, and my knowledge comes from a local Nextdoor group.

Someone affiliated with local church mentioned that their shelter is actually low on occupancy, and any attempts to help more homeless were met with distrust, outright refusal to be affiliated with "the system", and a bunch of crazier reasons.

Someone from Anaheim local government also chimed in and mentioned that although that's not the city's official position, a lot of city efforts were turned down by the homeless, and any rational person has been helped and can get help through existing agencies.
Don't you have to set it (SMS) up first, add other 2FA methods (e.g. U2F), and then remove SMS?

I had tried to migrate back to Firefox so many times that I got burned on it and decided it wasn't worth trying again. Despite this, when I heard the Quantum announcement I decided to give it a download and immediately fell in love again. Photon looks great, the dev tools are wonderful, and it's Fast. And this thing doesn't have annoying Chrome idiosyncrasies - I can tell Firefox to permanently trust my Kubernetes cert without painstakingly adding it to the OS trusted certificates list. Firefox Sync works well and I like being able to send tabs to my phone. Speaking of which, you know what really rules? Installing plain old uBlock Origin on my phone. Which I did. I am loving everything about this and I really hope we're turning a new corner. Say Google, want to get Hangouts working in Firefox yet?
Being a self-sustainable, and relatively wealthy region is what allows the Independence movement but, as you said, it is not the cause.
Some issues with containers:

* It's way too easy to open new pages in the wrong container, and you can't convert an existing tab into another container. By the time you've opened a tab it's too late. Solution is to copy URL, create new tab, paste URL, which is a lot to do.

* There's no "New tab in same container" keyboard shortcut or button.

* If you click on a URL in a different app, or from the shell, you get a new tab in the default container.

* There's no way to designate an entire window or macOS space to a container. I have all my work stuff in a separate space, and no personal stuff should interfere. Similarly, if I'm already in a window full of, say, Google Cloud-related tabs, I don't want to clutter that window with containers.

The idea is great, but the implementation is nowhere close to being practical.

Chrome's profiles are too heavy-weight, but it has the right idea about the ability to couple window with profiles, because windows are "collections of tabs", and the most natural-feeling container of pages.
The idea is to selfhost it – it’s open source.
(anecdote) That precisely describes my personal experience of people in BCN and BDN, at least as a foreigner that keeps coming back as a tourist.

I also have a friend who has been teaching English as a Foreign Language in BCN for at least a decade now, and he and his wife tell a similar story.

"In any case I would love to be able to express better myself in English" - you already have a fluent grasp of English. You spelt it's with an apostrophe which is spot on and come across as a native writer - for a given value of "native" 8) Good skills mate.

Interrupt-based designs are bad for real time, for the reasons you give. Instead you want to use techniques like polling and static scheduling, where every process gets a fixed time slice. This reduces the variability and improves fidelity to your model, since you know at every point what processes are running.
I am really surprised at the backlash toward the demo. It's simple and fun. Dragging and dropping is a pretty simple concept anyway, you're going to have to build your logic into it.

The reason this is cool is because cross browswer drag and drop is difficult with the native APIs. Not having to deal with them for basic drag and drop is great and likely the point of the library.
"In what way would a referendum where every single person (of voting age) in the region could vote would 'not remotely reflect the actual will of the people'?"

---> Because if it's not official, most people wont't vote.

It's laying saying 'why doesn't an online poll reflect the will of the people'.

It has to be done properly - or not at all.

I for one, think they should probably have it.
The classical explanation for this is that men are attracted to fertility while women are attracted to status.

I really doubt any self respecting 30 year old woman with a great job is going to find, say, a highschool jock attractive. The appearance of being with someone like that does not do her brand any favors in her social context. She's out of his league.

This is probably a little (a lot) reductionist but it provides a pretty satisfying explanation, at least to me.

Human beings are nasty machines.
