Have a quick look at http://www.survivalistboards.com, particularly the Manmade and Natural Disasters section and the Disaster Preparedness General Discussion section. There's a lot of collective wisdom on the site.

I would pay careful attention to the air quality. I would keep some eye drops handy and a wash cloth, handkerchief, or bandana that you could wet and cover your nose and mouth.

Check in with neighbors, friends, and family periodically as situation progresses. Let others know your plans.

Have your car filled with gas and ready to go. Be prepared for a minimum of 2 evacuation routes.

I would keep abreast of local news and probably set alarm clock to re-check every few hours during the night.
If you have a local setup, a ton of data, and a few good GPU(s)+ I would go bare metal with MapD (http://www.mapd.com) vs. the cloud.
Usually a notebook style interface with Juypter / Zeppelin is best for this provided the user has enough capability.

> we host our own script version that’s locked down with CSP

Excuse me, is there any article about this, or maybe some pointer where one could get a GA script that doesn't need `script-src data:` (or eval or similar insanity) in the CSP?

I've tried to add CSP for a page that has GA (no other external deps) and it seemed to deliver some scripts from base64-encoded data URI. I haven't researched what exactly it does, but suppose it was the unpacker inserting code that way, instead of using eval. Could be wrong, though, but the only external JS reference was analytics.js, and when testing in Firefox 57 CSP had complained about script with a data URI.
Worth noting: participants' size, strength, or degree of training doesn't even signify. The simple fact is that whoever gets the first shot in probably gets the last. There can be exceptions if the other person is both trained (in the right kind of martial art) and ready, but that combination is damn rare. So here are your options:

(1) Never visit bars, or at least limit yourself to the very top tier.

(2) Be willing to throw the first punch (kick, whatever).

(3) Be trained (again, in the right kind of martial art) and be ready all the time. That means being ready through an awful lot of false alarms, and also taking the risk of your readiness being interpreted as escalation. Your friends probably won't want to hang around in bars with you if you're like that.

(4) Learn how to de-escalate potentially violent situations.

Really, having been in a few fights, I highly recommend #4. That one skill is likely to be more useful than everything you'll ever learn in a dojo.

If it's a web based product, yes. The fact that it's google only makes this concern marginally appeased.

I'm no Tableau fan at all, but the fact that it's a native app removes this doubt at least.
Thinking back to years ago when I did individual freelance work, I would say you are actually doing quite well to get in 30 billable hours. Realistically you probably need to spend 10 to 20 hours a week on all the ancillary tasks (especially doing work that will get you more, better, future clients). So if you want to have a long-term sustainable result, it's probably best to plan on at most 30 billable hours per week.

(Of course, people who can disregard or don't have families and other obligations, could plausibly work an enormous amount of hours. But that doesn't seem like a great strategy, there are so many good opportunities to produce a lot of value and receive reasonable pay for reasonable total work.)

Can anyone point out how blockading a bridge could possibly lead to political change?

The only scenario that seems obvious is if the police overreact and shoot some of the protesters. That would cause a massive public outcry and bring their cause to the front and center stage.

> Members of this group were arrested and convicted in a plot to attack the inauguration ball using acid in the ventilation system and other alleged tactics.

That's incorrect. Convicted liar and video troll James O'Keefe did get them on video talking about acid, but they never acted on the plan, never attempted to acquire acid. The prosecutors were only able to get the defendants to take a plea deal for a "conspiracy" misdeameanor with no criminal conviction or record.

I don't know. I've never tracked my hours, despite working contract for most of my career.

Based on managing contractors for years now, I think you might be the most honest contractor I've ever heard of. Most of them bill for more hours than they're actually coding. I don't think this is malicious -- it's simply replicating the salaried structure, where goofing off and Facebooking are still part of a work day.

If you feel like you're pretty efficient, I think fixed-fee projects are good for both parties. Hourly tracking is pretty miserable. My clients are usually excited that I offer only fixed-fee engagements.

If you do continue time-based billing, you should try to switch to weekly or monthly instead of hourly. This allows you to build in a little variability.

Somewhat unrelated: someone posted on HN that s/he only codes 4 hours a day at the most, because most people's brains only have a certain amount of cycles to devote to something truly thought-intensive. Many, many people chimed in with their agreement.

That's an anecdote, sure, but there's lots of research to suggest that much more than 30 hours of productivity per week is a fantasy.
Huh, I have some notion of what you are referring to but I'm not even sure. That's ok, let's leave it at that.

Also, I have the feeling that you're overthinking this. Sit down at 08:30. Grab a brownbagged sandwich from 12:30 to 13:00. Then work until 17:00. Done, go home and enjoy your spare time. This business of sitting in your office until 12:00 PM sounds ridiculous to me, why would any wife out up with that?
Remember - you are not the only one evacuating. You'll have to compete for the roads, gas stations, hotels, and stores with everyone else evacuating.

What does Tableau still have over Microsoft Power BI at this point?

In the beginning Power BI started out pretty weak compared to Tableau, but over a couple years they make huge investments and seem to even be ahead in some areas. For example, it used to be Tableau didn’t support 3rd party or custom visualization, although I haven’t checked recently if that’s changed.

So much development effort is being poured into many of these competitors, any useful comparators have to be pretty new.

Volvo is starting something similar (Care By Volvo). However, that looks and smell like a leasing rebranded and slightly streamlined than what you are thinking of.

Volvo is a 2 year contract, no option to buy and also no option to customise the vehicle. The price is in the same ballpark than a lease. Volvo throws in: insurance and tax all included (less common in personal lease in Europe) and for like 10 days a year, the possibility to loan a different, larger Volvo.

I'll refrain being overly skeptical, Uber is just a taxi app streamlined and rebranded, but that makes all the difference. Buying a car, or worse, leasing one is not exactly streamlined, there is definitively some streamlining value in there somewhere.

Also I guess that is just the beginning - I guess if they could push the commitment down to 1 year (or 2 years with possibility to switch to a different car every year) that could become interesting.
It lets other people know that theres a general unhappiness with something. Events like that usually make the news.

Others who may not have heard about the cause hear about it and get involved.

That, or if the man is doing something you don't like, do something they don't like.

It's better than sitting on the couch and reading about the things you don't like in the world.
From a capabilities perspective, Tableau and Power BI have everything and the kitchen sink. But they tend to be $$$$ because of licensing costs, paying for extras, and because you need lots and lots of training for devs, analysts, and end users. Oh, and practically Windows only.

There's a new generation of these tools that started web-first. They don't have all the bells and whistles but the learning curve is way lower. So far none have truly stand ahead of the rest but there are some promising ones. But because you almost always need a dev-in-the-loop, almost every company needing a tool like this starts with a DIY open source solution.
Like it or not, Excel’s behavior defines the CSV file format and how it is used in the real world. The writing of an RFC 15 years too late has not and will never “fix” CSV. It’s crusted over over with bugs and inconsistencies for all time.

Use anything else, even XLSX which is at least a typed and openly standardized format.
The sample app, with it's 1.5 million wasted bytes that 'do nothing' handles those problems.

If all apps have to include 1.5MB of code to handle the same set of problems, then it sounds like the perfect place for that code is in a shared library, perhaps distributed with the OS.
Excel is probably the most used piece of business software in the world. Most companies are run on it.
Why do you think Data Studio is quicker or better than Tableau or Power BI at this same scenario?

Frankly it has become table stakes to do that.

I do appreciate your reply though, maybe there are new or differentiated capabilities. Would be interesting to hear.

One of my favorite things is to see a problem I think is trivial and learn its hidden complexities, like the "X things developers think about Y" series of articles.

However, to take the parent's example of an HTML doc with an associated script...the browser does do this, and a rebuttal has to reckon with that. My Chrome web browser runs on thousands of different devices, countless OSs. A small Hello World file can run _with_ a header that supports RTL languages, can very simply say what version of HTML it's using (doctype yadda yadda...I grant that the situation is considerably more complex for JS nowadays!), and can run in any browser size imaginable. It doesn't have a "large library" of useful layouts—the developer just includes what they need. Yes, I'm sure running native on the phone brings many difficulties browser apps don't have to deal with, but from the comment alone I'm not sure what those are beyond signing.
Take it from a Thinkpad X60 owner, the Intel GPUs from that era are absolute trash. They don't support OpenGL 3.0 on any platform (in fact, they didn't gain 3.0+ support until Sandy Bridge in 2011(!)) so don't expect any of this recent GPU-centric work (which seems to be targeting OpenGL 3.0+) to work on these GPUs. It would probably work just fine on the contemporary Radeon and GeForce cards since they support OpenGL 3.3.
I'm wondering if someone could clear something up for me. There's the me_cleaner project that the above guide relies on in order to generate the new BIOS image.

What's the difference in efficacy between the above guide and just using me_cleaner directly?

If you think American firms don't get nervous about running Israeli security software, you don't pay close attention to the security industry.

She places its start at the moment of a famous failure: the Mayday Vietnam protest of 1971, when twenty-five thousand people blockaded bridges and intersections around Washington, D.C. A manual describing the demonstration’s tactics allowed Nixon’s Attorney General to summon the police, the military, and the National Guard preëmptively. More than seven thousand protesters were arrested. Mary McGrory, a journalist who was sympathetic to the cause, described it as “the worst planned, worst executed, most slovenly, strident and obnoxious peace action ever committed.”

Kauffman disagrees. The spectre of the protest rattled the Administration, she points out. What’s more, it marked the shift toward the tactics-driven approach that we still follow today. “The last major national protest against the Vietnam War, Mayday was also a crucial first experiment with a new kind of radicalism,” she writes. It was less about moral leadership than about the fact of obstruction. It embraced whatever—and whoever—forced the hand of power. “You do the organizing,” the Mayday manual read. “This means no ‘movement generals’ making tactical decisions you have to carry out.”

That's the ideal. Except that in the status quo, only the good teachers need to get the kids that don't want to DO anything to DO anything, and the practical consequences for failing to motivate the slackers are nil.

Otherwise, there are two basic possibilities depending on the kid's parents. Either the kid is expected to try and DO something (and does), or the parent only expects child care. In the latter case, avoiding willful destruction and interruption is all that is required … tada, babysitting!

The manager analogy doesn't make sense because managers are much more directly accountable for whether the employees achieve anything for the company while clocking in. If managers' mostly subjective assessments were the only tangible output of employee time and other impacts were felt years later and weren't directly ascribable to an individual manager, then maybe the analogy would work.

Or killing people you don't like. Or injuring others. Or looting. Or destroying property.

Basically anything that isn't those 4 things can be a viable form of protest, if executed correctly.
Kaspersky is pretty well known to have a close relationship with the Russian government, though. Hell, Kaspersky himself used to work for Soviet military intelligence. There's several articles cited here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaspersky_Lab#Allegations_of_t...

I would recommend extra changes of underwear and socks, as those are the two bits that will get bad quickly (especially in a hot environment) and can make life pretty miserable with the resulting rashes/fungus.

Before you leave, if you have time, take pictures of your rooms, especially the expensive items (and their serial numbers) as this will make life much easier for insurance claims later on.
