yes, that's what i do. =)

but i wish more people would realize how much they neuter competition and lose in actual cash-in-hand by indulging the big banks and not shopping around. make the banks compete for your money by finding the best returns for your cash. it takes a few minutes on a site like http://www.bankrate.com/ to do so.

most consumers have a checking account or two, a couple credit cards, maybe a savings account, a car loan and a mortgage--all things well understood and competitively handled by a credit union. many people tout convenience as their main decision-making factor, but big banks are not any more convenient than credit unions--technology has leveled that playing field. i suspect the real reason we use big banks is our ingrained herding instinct and the psychological safety that implies (however illusory that is).

Cloudflare was quite clear on the criteria they used.

You can disagree with that criteria, and you can question whether this is the true criteria Cloudflare used. For the later, you need to provide evidence in opposition to this case.
I always (usually) get a copy of the string token when adding a "google" 2fa. I store this in a password manager.

This allows me to have more confidence in recovery, as well as adding more devices, etc.
> The reality of the situation is that many things these days are fundamentally services instead of objects, and services are subjects to Terms of Service, and can often morph into something else or entirely disappear subject to the provider's strategies or whims.

That, in a nutshell, is the heart of the problem, and it has only become worse as walled gardens proliferate.
Other than its ubiquity, there are lots of bad thigns about C's syntax:

* Assignment as an expression is bug-prone

* The precedence for the binary operators is wonky

* Optional braces in if statements make the grammar ambiguous and is also bug prone (the infamous Apple goto bug)

* The type-declaration syntax is convoluted and people need tools like cdecl to understand the more tricky ones.

* The cast syntax is ambiguous and resolving this ambiguity relies on adding dirty hacks to the lexer to tell the parser about type names.

No, there's OO C, low-level C, GLib C, etc. There's Android Java, Enterprise Java, Standard Java. Any language catering to different customers will have various styles.

There are two big C++ coding styles: C with classes, an old style which has little use nowadays and modern C++, the recommended way, used in new projects. Asking "what is the idiomatic style in C++?" must be a rhetorical question, because it's obviously modern C++, the leaders of the C++ community have made this clear repeatedly.
Template metaprogramming is a technique, not a programming style.

How did you arrive at the "0.0001%" figure? Of what population is that a percentage?

I strongly dislike this kind of waving away an important feature request. These days anybody crossing the border of the USA could be asked to unlock their phone. I'd say that's at least a larger percentage of the "population" (whatever population you meant) than "0.0001%".

I think FaceID won't be as good, either, but Apple has surprised me before (with TouchID, no less). The iPhone X definitely seems to be the experimental phone, which I'm glad to see.

I hope they continue the product lines they currently have for the phone: the experimental expensive one, the "normal" and Plus iterative ones, and the not-as-fancy-but-fits-in-my-small-hands one.
Just one data point...

I'm 52, and I work at Facebook. According to the chart in the OP, that's the youngest of the big companies, with a median age of only 28, and that's totally consistent with what I see when I'm at the main Facebook campus. "Campus" indeed. I feel like a parent, visiting my kids' school. Good preparation for when that actually happens, I guess.

Is my situation stressful? Well, sure, but not because of my age. It's stressful because there's a lot to do, and I'm trying to do it while there's all sorts of weirdness coming at me from all directions all the time. It's stressful because I get to be on call every fourth week, and sometimes that can be intense. That kind of thing sucked in my twenties, too. It's a little worse now that I have a family, but on the other hand I've had a lot of time to develop an arsenal of coping strategies.

Just because I don't see any additional stress doesn't mean others don't. In particular, I can see how older women face obstacles I don't. Nonetheless, I think a lot of the angst is because of unrealistic expectations. Salary growth is exponential. For you to be worth that salary, your impact has to be exponential too. If you're my age and still a pure individual contributor, you're going to have a hard time justifying that salary unless you're the very best of the best in the whole world at something pretty specialized and valuable. It's not at all unreasonable for employers to expect that people at this level will be multiplying their personal impact by advancing the state of the art, creating powerful new tools, teaching others, etc. If you got this far without learning how to do those things, you really missed your best opportunity. The people "behind" you are still on an upward curve, so you'd better be on one too. I think a lot of stress comes from people realizing deep down that they're not, and - even worse - that they have nobody to blame but themselves.

> It's unlikely that someone will be able to unlock my phone without me knowing it when using TouchID

Do you really think it's likely that someone will steal your phone and then trick you into looking at your own phone without you realizing it? At that point you might as well be tricked into putting your finger on a TouchID sensor.
They should add some sort of integration for lost/stolen iphones that would allow them record face information of anyone who uses it after the phone has been reported stolen.

Didn't realize that energy could be converted into gravitational waves. It does make sense I suppose, but I always thought gravity and gravitational waves were just a side-effect of the way mass interacted with space-time.

EDIT - Thanks to bonzini for catching a mistake, I'd typod 47 as 74 on the first line and drastically inflated everything after that. It's still huge though.

Wolfram Alpha gives a solar mass as 1.988435×10^30 kg. Multiply that by (299,292,458 m/s)^2, you get ~1.78×10^47 Joules.

The most powerful manmade explosion in history was Tsar Bomba, a Soviet hydrogen bomb with 210 Petajoule (210×10^15 J) yeild.

Amount of energy released by the black holes merging is 8.48×10^29 times greater, so you'd need to set off that many Tsar Bombas to get equal total yeild.

The universe is 4.3×10^17 seconds old, meaning if you set off a Tsar Bomba every second since the beginning of time, you'd still be off by a factor of 1.953×10^12.

You need about 2,000,000,000,000,000,000 Tsar Bombas every second since the big bang to match it.

The mind boggles.
private, as the numbers i have seen is that when private debt hits something like 200% of GDP bad things starts to happen.

the crazy part is that it does not even need to be a complete halt in lending that cause it, just enough of a dip that expenses (debt repayments etc) outpace income (from the turnover of existing money plus the money coming in as newly issued loans).

And the whole debt equals savings thing is a fallacy that sadly the economics profession has convinced itself is true. The Bank of England released a document a few years back that showed how private lending effectively puts new money into circulation.

Funny enough public debt is largely a non-issue, as long as said debt is denominated in the nation's own currency.
I don't see anything in the article about older workers working themselves to death. It seems to be mostly about older workers getting laid off.

As a dev in his 50s, I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, age discrimination is real and I've definitely seen and experienced it. On the other hand, virtually everybody has some kind of trait that is going to be discriminated against by somebody, and the software development market right now is so overwhelmingly friendly to good programmers that the few spots of discrimination are really just minor irritations.

But if you aren't constantly upgrading your skills, I'm sure the landscape is bleak. And that's not nearly as true of

PS. The above is about programmers. Managers probably get much more direct age discrimination, and they can't fall back on a well-defined skill set to contest it.
> when you retire @ 37, you can start to do yoga/tai chi religiously, 1-2 hrs a day, so when your 80 years old your not old/frail.

Ever heard of diseases (not to mention just plain old aging)? Tai chi/joga is not a ticket to immortality.
An interesting aspect to me is the people in the article just internalizing this and saying "well, I screwed up by doing the same thing for two years." Huh?

ok, fair enough. but the parent to my post said this was about the content.. it's clearly not the content, even that tidbit is clear it's not about the content.
When I use my flash bracket, I bolt the flash bracket to the camera. When I use the camera with flash bracket with my tripod, I bolt an Arca Swiss compatible plate to the flash bracket using another 1/4-20 hole in the bracket. A third 1/4-20 hole allows me to leave the $0.75 1/4-20 eyebolt (stainless steel no less) I use for a carabiner + neck strap on the flash bracket.

That said, from an engineering perspective the long term durability of a plastic molded dovetail when clamped in a metal Arca Swiss clamp might be a challenge because the Arca Swiss system is not designed around that degree of dissimilarity of material hardness (not that I have anything against plastic). One of the characteristics of Arca Swiss connections is that they are not based on a formal standard and this leads to minor dimensional variability among components that is mitigated by clamping the clamp tighter or buying components from a company like Arca-Swiss at the prices their products command.

Potential durability aside, a molded in dovetail would increase the bulk of a camera and generally the trend seems to be away from camera bulk all things being equal. While a molded in adapter might increase stability in some cases, in others it would decrease it. Setting a camera on a table is an obvious case. Any other mounting is also going to be through a longer lever arm and with a higher center of gravity.
haproxy is not able to log to any kind of file: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/345716/29580

And the official image does not provide for rsyslogd. I want an official image to at least support logging out of the box without having to resort to docker-compose or even weirder setups.
This sounds like a cool idea, but I don't think it would work in practice.

The would-be thief, assuming he knows about the "duress mode" (which isn't a bold assumption considering the large black market for stolen iPhones), would recognize that you've logged in to something strange, that doesn't show any useful data. They'd just pull back the hammer on their pistol and tell you to try again.
62% more days of sick leave is an acceptable trade off for most employers. If the alternative is a separate office for everyone, the rent expenses will be more than the paid leave loss. And the only thing upper management cares about is the bottom line. So in a sense, increased productivity in the economy is partially paid by our degrading health. That's not something often mentioned in the Economics text books.
I bet it depends on how poor you were, and how noisy the open plan was. Tolerances also vary.
I guess it was referring to the guy who had two heart attacks.
I caution for you to be careful not to look at this through rose colored, king of the hill glasses. Mid 40s, so I would assume your salary to be well over six figures? Maybe approaching the 3/4 of a million mark? That's a very easy place to sit and say things look great. By corporate standards at some point you'll max out your usefulness due to old age, health issues, and it will make sense to replace you with someone who is younger, costs less, works longer hours, and fits more with the culture. I genuinely hope this never happens, as it would be both unethical, and illegal, but that's the Silicon Valley of today.

He got downvoted because he said something that didn't match up with what OP said. In the presentation, Apple said

> The probability of a false match is different for twins and siblings that look like you

So that means the 1 in a 1,000,000 chance doesn't make sense here because Apple said the probability is different in regards to twins and siblings that look like you. So @gre just spouted off the statistic when OP was asking what the probability might be in regards to twins and siblings, because Apple says that it is different.

It absolutely shouldn't account for such a large discrepancy, but is the level of expertise the same? I would also expect that the US dentist has paid much more for their education.

Did the US dentist go to school longer? As I said, I'm sure they paid more. Is the US dentist more skilled at their job? Are the requirements to practice dentistry lower in India? Are the results better or worse in India?

You also mentioned the lower wealth in India. There is also a lower standard of living cost. Costs for products and services have long-since been decoupled from expenses and people charge what they think the market will bear.

Also, is there a greater supply of dentists? My understanding is that the AMA artificially limits the supply of medical doctors, but I'm not sure about dentistry. I also have no idea what it's like in India.

Given what little I know of the situation, I suspect I'd support the idea of Indian dentists making more money, not US dentists making less money. I believe teachers and medical professionals should be well paid. $150,000/year isn't that much. We have programmers who make larger salaries, and they don't even give me a free toothbrush.

Edit: Google tells me that the average salary in India is $616, so the average Indian dentist makes about 8.5x the average income. That's about $225,000 in the US.
Ha! This doesn't even register with me. Everything I've wanted to watch on Amazon Prime with my Prime account has been something I had to pay per view. So the net effect is I'm paying a subscription AND paying per view. Nope.

Scale should certainly be taken into account. Still, differences in scale are no excuse to completely invalidate the data points without a good reason why it should matter this much.

All good. That's not really the use case for Shelf. You'd publish final versions of deliverables on Shelf, not necessarily your whole work-in-progress.

Just to share a different perspective, not even to disagree with your view: Think of a marketing team that wants to publish and share presentations to be used by sales reps. Or a team of researchers that wants to curate different types of information (docs, links, videos) for later perusal. Enrich each of those with meta data. These are different use cases, that's where Shelf shines.
If a user ID is sufficiently long, there’s no practical difference between that and a passcode (it becomes a “login key” which both uniquely identifies the user and acts as a secret). If everyone in the world had a secret 128 bit user ID, we wouldn’t need passcodes. Having the iPhone X scan a device-specific, random pattern of the user’s face is somewhat close to that.
A dovetail would change the way a camera feels in-hand. For all the non-Arca-Swiss users, a dovetail would forever be caught on things without adding utility.
