Of course this would be the user's personally hosted server. Typically hidden behind a password and loaded in some sort of HTPC manager like Organizr.

According to reports, Plex' intention was to prevent clickjacking, which is perfectly reasonable but left many of their users from being able to use their Plex servers within the HTPC managers.
My first thought is that time series data sets vary drastically in scale.

For instance, there are two CPI numbers that come out once a month for about 80 years so far, or 1920 numbers total. That's "small data". Other systems collect that many numbers in a millisecond.

I like the time series handling capabilities in pandas myself.
I agree with you mostly, but they still have to steer through.

Historically we had neither massive population aging nor Ponzi pension systems to worry about. Now we do.
It really is about time some international conferences, and StrangeLoop is a good example, just upped sticks and moved north of the border.
I read comments. 80% of my time on HN is spent on that. Rest is spent on commenting and reading shared articles.

Whenever I have a tech. idea or a topic I want to learn more about, I search on HN first even before google at times. It almost always gives me what I needed.
The intelligentsia of the east has always run west away from totalitarian regimes and these regimes have stood the test of time. All of central Asia has been controlled by totalitarian regimes since before democracy was invented. If the US becomes totalitarian, then where will the intelligentsia go? Is there going to be an ever shrinking realm of freedom? Perhaps north west Europe will be the last refuge? Hardly seems to be an appealing thought.
I developed a little side project that aimed to be a serveless open source alternative, it is called effe and uses go as main language.

The whole idea is to compile a go program and put it into a docker container and have it listening to the network for a single HTTP endpoint.

It is interesting because an useful images come to be less than 6MB :)

For any Americans thinking 'well, at least this doesn't affect me as a natural born citizen', you should be aware that one of the most common principles applied to visa and passport control activity by countries is 'reciprocity'. That is, countries look at how the US treats their citizens at the American port of entry, and turn around and apply that same standard to Americans.

So the next time you turn up at the Canadian border and are asked to produce your facebook account details... this is why.
OT, what's the smallest windows/.net containers out there? I have some legacy stuff I'd like to dockerize but they end up so big and slow to deploy. I've just been rewriting them.
Social media accounts aren't "public history". They're probably the single most private sphere for many people. If you got to read all my private messages on Facebook, you'd know me better than my parent and my girlfriends together.

And a "background check" isn't a "background check". It's a completely vague concept, from some prospective employer calling one or two references all the way to the 8-months process of obtaining a security clearance.

That's really easy to see if you consider what kind of activities involve some sort of "background check": employment (see above), getting on a plane, opening a bank account, getting a loan, taking a tour of the Capitol: while each one of these is technically "voluntary", it'd be a distinction without a difference if they added this as a requirement for such activities.

Maybe, had I bought something.

I did not buy my corporate structure. I built it.

It sounds like you're saying all cars have four wheels because everyone is buying into the current dogma and repeating it.

I'm saying, if you're building a car from scratch, there is a high likelihood you'll arrive at four wheels.

As a matter of engineering, certain structures are common for their physical and functional nature. The more specific the parameters of behavior, the more specific the implementation.

The best suggestion I found in this other thread was for every country to follow strict reciprocity with American visitors to their country. I'd love to see Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg's social media profiles get splashed on some national newspaper's front page because someone sneaked in a camera phone into the review room.
This is really cool...but why?

So in a way this is similar to for example AWS Lambda ? It can process incoming http requests in many ways ? Fascinating idea.

Is there any indication on price level ? And what about runtime duration ?
HAHAHA. But, the ebooks are just not the same experience of a physical book. But, I do use both the ebooks and books - depending on the book type.
They probably also care about the videos you watch, the keyword you search, the private conversations you have on chat apps.
Honestly, as an American, I wouldn't be so hopeful. People were 100% sure things would turn out differently just a year ago, and anyone who said differently was openly mocked for being delusional. Things are going to get far worse before they get better. Even then, just thinking a different president will fix anything is part of the problem.
> If you're between 10 and 60 years old, "I don't use social media" will likely not really be an answer at the border. Even a barely-used account will not really be an answer.

Why not? According to an article I read, only about 75% of US teens use Instagram and a similar amount use Snapchat (the only media the article gave). Quite frankly, about 10-20% of even First World populations don't use social media or use it very lightly. That's not particularly uncommon.

Fair, but I don't think 20MB vs 80MB should be a problem in 2017, people are downloading ~60GB games off Steam, downloading a ~5GB ISO every 6-24 months is not that much in comparison.

The Bible elsewhere comments on Job as a historical person, see James 5:

"Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy."

The book of Job itself suggests a historical context from the very outset, see Job 1:

"In the land of Uz there lived a man..."

It would be a mistake to reduce the book's message to a mere "moral tale" (although it is at least that - and much more).
The post spends like 15 paragraphs explaining why.

We found that Apple Mail clients typically load remote resources by default, unless the message is spam. That content can't set or retrieve cookies, which is an improvement over other standalone clients.

I'd still recommend disabling remote content by default since the tracking identifiers (the hash of your email address, etc) are present in the image URL. That's enough to continue to track the read and serve targeted content. See: https://web.archive.org/web/20170922213846/https://support.l...
In style with NES Classic and SNES Classic, now comes the C64 in similar style - small package with a couple of controllers and HDMI. Keyboard support to write Basic. A handful of built-in games.

I guess it's basically the same inside too, some half-decent ARM A-line cpu running some emulator. I can see the appeal, although I know myself and it will be fun for a good few 10 minutes, then collect dust (not to be pessimistic or so, I just know myself :)).
The golden age of C++ is that java, python, ruby, clojure javascript and so on all exist so developers who have a dislike and/or perhaps low aptitude for C++ aren't in your codebase because it really isn't the only game in town.

Compiler support, standardisation of things we needed in the late 80s sure. great, yeah, all good and helpful.

Not having a constant standing fight to keep the worst nasty rubbish out of your codebase so you can get on with writing code that achieves something useful in a manner that's not hideous. That's a change that didn't come from within C++.

C++ culture from Bjarne on down is still hideous. Arrogant, aggressive and generally nasty. Fix that and we'd really get the golden age. I stay as far away from C++ "people", committees, conferences etc. as I can. Yeah "No loss" would be the usual response and I'm sure that's true, I'm not such a genius that the loss of me matters at all. There will be plenty more, some of whom have great contributions they will make elsewhere, to think otherwise is just the usual C++ "smart people" nasty, competitive arrogance.
Which will probably lead to a massive uptick in the number of fake, or ghost profiles on social media. Before entering the U.S., people will create fake social media profiles that are sanitized, and make them appear as God fearing, peaceful individuals. Then some company will get the bright idea of doing this for them, resulting in an utter waste of U.S. time, and resources.
Even if it did block them in the app, we have no way of knowing if tracking pixels links are followed by Google when it scans/sorts you mail server-side.

What's a NYC to SHA full fare one way, about $800? I wonder if he is also getting into the fuel business? So if this rocket holds 200 people, that only gives him $160k in revenue. Fuel for the smaller Falcon is more than that per launch. Or is this baseless hype?
Some of the debt statistics fail to account for the cash Corp America is holding on their balance sheets, so that's an incomplete picture.

Also, I posit that a lot of the inflation in indexes relate to redistribution of wealth. When fewer people have more, they are willing to pay more for just about everything: cryptocurrencies, stocks, houses in prime areas, etc. Bubble status would require some proof points suggesting we have reached systematically unserviceable levels of an underlying fundamental.

Yes. Couldn’t delete my comment so updated it.
Galaxy S7 has one; whether it's active depends on carrier, in he US at least (though I think, without checking, that it's only active on Sprint and possibly unlocked phones; the other US carriers only started activating them more recently and didn't go back; I'm pretty sure the S8 and Note 8 have active FM on the major US carriers.)
There are threats in the world but picking the needle out of the haystack is very difficult and my biggest concern is how data is interpreted. If you were attempting to enter the US, migrating from Turkey and I determined that 3 people within your social graph, one direct connection 2 secondary are known terrorist does that mean you are a terrorist based on no other information? It's really hard without direct evidence and we're playing with peoples lives. The vast majority of people are no threat and will be productive members of society.

I am afraid the guilt until proven innocent mindset in regards to immigrants is increasing in parts of the US. I wish everyone would settle down and relax for a minute but it seems like thing will only continue to increase as we begin to enter a new election year and then start what will be a very heated Presidential campaign.
This was brought up in the presentation as well - they have plans to eventually use the same technology they will use on Mars, on Earth as well, to take CO2 out of the air and combine it with water to create methane and oxygen. If it happens, the rockets would be carbon-neutral.
Then you end up with the "grassroots politician" problem: you go in to fix a problem but realize the money is just too good (now that you're the one getting it) to change the system.

The reason? Too much capital, not enough growth to invest in because demand isn't growing.

Demand isn't growing because 60% of the population is barely scraping by.

How do you increase demand? Roll back the tax cuts to the wealthy who have nowhere to put that money except into speculation and bubbles. Redistribute it back to the working class in the form of tax cuts, credits, higher minimum wage, and social programs. They will immediately put it to work by spending on things they need to get by. Demand increases.

That money trickles back up to the wealthy who receive the profits from that spending, and invest it back into the industries where demand is actually growing.

Voila, more growth, fewer bubbbles.

I think your logic is flawed, Facebook is nothing more than a self maintained state surveillance dossier that naive fools have been tricked into participating in. As Zuckerberg famously said early on "I can't believe these idiots are giving me all their information" (paraphrased). No dictator or other authoritarian regime of all of history could have even ever dreamed in their wildest state of imagination that people would willingly participate in such a self-surveillance system. It's really rather bonkers and only a symptom of the human detachment from reality that surrounds them.
You can't immediately make the irrational fears disappear, but you can consciously suppress those fears and grit it out to do what needs to be done, thus achieving most of the same benefits. Do this enough times and the irrational fears will gradually diminish (at least for some people).
That's my problem. I am not on Facebook (not explicitly, I am sure it has a shadow account on me). I am not on Twitter. Not on G+.

There's issues inside that - pollution for one. Even if you're running LOX/LH2, that's a lot of hot steam to be dumping in the atmosphere.

Question: Why do the autonomous cargo missions need to be done in the ideal launch window? It doesn't seem like the systems required to operate and navigate in space should require much energy, once your are up to cruising speed (and there's no air resistance in space to slow you down). Does it matter if the cargo takes 6 months to deliver the cargo instead of 3? Am I missing something?

As controversial as it may be, is it really that surprising to anyone that governments want this sort of information on tap about anyone, not just immigrants?

We need to stop expecting social media platforms to respect our privacy. They don't. They won't. What you post on Facebook and Twitter is as good as public domain.

You really shouldn't be surprised to find something that you had posted in either a government file or a newspaper headline.
Jaedong fights the end of his career with reckless abandon
tssva is correct, most states have matriculation agreements between the CC system and state college system. So, at worst, you finish your degree at your home states flagship state university (obviously, those vary, but generally, each state has at least one well respected institution). If you're in VA, you "hit the jackpot" and have many choices (UVA, W&M, VT, plus a half-dozen other solid choices).

Locally (VA), students are guaranteed admission to the state university system if they meet a published GPA threshold. That threshold varies by school. The one big caveat - students are not guaranteed placement within specific programs. So, at GMU, an overall GPA of 2.85 is required to transfer, however that is might not be high enough to guarantee placement in their Computer Science program (which is highly competitive and close to fully enrolled).

I don't know how this applies to transferring to an Ivy (or other top-tier private). For the Ivies, I assume the caliber of student who can gain admission is going to figure out the finances (for better or worse). I also assume (big assumption here) that even a "useless" liberal arts degree from Harvard makes one employable at a reasonable salary (vs the same degree from a 2-tier school).

Edit - one "local" private school (Shepherd U, WV) also has a guaranteed transfer program from the local (Northern VA) CC system. They offer a tuition discount to those transfers. http://www.shepherd.edu/nova-transfer-admissions/
10+ years full time Ubuntu user here, I have to say that although I am happy for the fact that Unity is gone, it is too late as I have moved to xfce4.

The decision to move to Unity was bad, users choose Linux desktop because they want something simple, something more under their control. The whole unity desktop experience together with that everything is searchable promise is just not the right selling point for that audience.

Now many many years in xfce4, that is the exact desktop environment I want. no over engineering rubbish, no forced features, no fancy UI pretending to be cool/smart, just the essential stuff that actually work. If I am going to spend most of time in terminals + chrome, why forcing me to have a fat desktop environment? gnome seems to be fine, used it for many many years before the Unity joke/xfce4, but it is still too fat and it is too late.
