There are two inherent problems with SSNs:

1) No check digits--every number is valid. Adding a couple of extra digits would help tremendously

2) No ability to retire/change the number--this is the big one. Once the criminals get your SSN--game over. You can't change it and shut the old one down. If you simply changed this, a lot of the issues with SSNs would go away.

Then there are the usage issues:

SSNs have two tasks which need to be separated:

1) Identification for "blocking" or "association" tasks. SSNs are fine for identity on a blocking task--ie. trying to shut something down, taxation identification, etc.

2) Identification for "allowing" tasks. SSNs are BAD for allowing tasks--new credit card, new bank account, etc. These kinds of tasks should always require SSN plus something else. This is where the primary failure modes are.
The one thing that will surely ruin your servers reliability is adding more ram to it. Based on my relatively recent experience a server with 1TB ram will have an MTBF of about 150k to 200k hours. Most of the failures (> 80%) are memory or memory socket related.
That's not because acting is easy or because there's a surplus of good actors. That's because acting doesn't pay shit unless you're really, really lucky. For a show that takes a dozen people a couple months to prepare and sells maybe a few hundred tickets, the financials are pretty stark.

I would say take the job as it will help you long run. Relationships are very uncertain and you do not know what this girl wants.

Take the job and tell the girl about your plans and go with flow.

Excited about this for the increased support for non-Latin languages and the code ligatures, but sad that it is pegging 2 cores at nearly 100%. Will look forward to when this is fully stable.

At least when I went there it wasn't very crowded. There was a group of people at the summit (with vending machine present, of course), but otherwise hardly any people. However it was a slightly foggy day, so you couldn't see much from the summit. It is possible that on a clear day there are crowds trying to see Mount Fuji or something.

It’s a surprising presentation. I might not agree with several assumptions and implications but I was sincerely put off balance by this mission statement “Endeavoring to benefit society and

I want to clarify that it doesn’t sound like a hard technical problem. Bending the will of our politicians is much harder than it should be, unless you have a lot of money.
At first glance, I would think the prevalence of them relies on some lower level issues. But maybe you're right. They sure seem to occur along with most of the more rotten dealings. I guess the option of them just creates a judicial environment where there's nothing too harsh for the books because it can be mitigated in a plea deal, which opens the door to any subversion desired by the few enforcing parties. Is this basically what you're saying?

Apparently the "security motivated" have to discover when Apple has completely changed how their apps and settings work, too.

Are the "security motivated" also expected to know if iMessage or FaceTime stopped using end-to-end encryption, too?

These things should be communicated. Also, all Apple had to do was make it a 3-toggle button instead of a 2-toggle one. Just keep the normal way of turning-off Wi-Fi and add a new one for Disconnect Wi-Fi, too. Nothing could be simpler. But no, Apple has to be "courageous" in pissing off a large portion of their users each time they do something, rather than implementing a UX change as simple as that without disturbing well learned UX behaviors for their users.

Nothing gives anyone the inherent right to impose their will on others. Governments only have authority because they have usurped a monopoly on violence.

Or more likely, the murder charges didn't have a lot of weight to them to begin with.
having read up on it again I noticed I was a little amis with the values. Still, the total prison time is least for cooperation.

I can only wonder what game theory would have to say about setting the punishments as in the original. Certainly the whole thing is rigged to begin with. Both serve time if none of them admits to the crime? You'd have to be uncooperative with law enforcement out of principle, never mind nature is probably not generally as sinister and draconicly enforcing morally biased laws. The void of deep space rather doesn't care to set traps like that on purpose. But it could randomly. If weights are set arbitrarilly in the thought experiment, what would probabilty theory say then? Nothing, as there are no priors. But what would attacking and extinguishing an unexpecting existence about our own chances to be terminated at once without aprehension?

As a frequent user of Edward (big fan), I'm not sure I should be crazy about this - while it probably means that it'll get more frequent updates and love, I liked the researchy vibe that it had and its strong ties to sampling-based methods, etc. which might be lost in a move into contrib.

That being said, Dustin is probably working closely with Google people to do this properly, so it'll probably turn out ok in the end.
actually, it doesn't make zero sense. I'm a woman as well, and I would much agree with the original comment, and other women have said the same to me that they wouldn't move with a man that is not their husband. I'm not sure proposing for the sake of getting her to move with OP is the right intention, but if he feels serious enough about the girl then I'd say do it.

Unfortunately unlike men, it tends to be more difficult for women to find serious relationships when they're older, women only have limited amount of time of being able to reproduce. So even if women are not actively thinking about this, it is instinctive to only take the sacrifice of major life changes when we are able to tell there's a commitment to a relationship.

Yup. Same deal with the side panel in service preferences. The only way to even see the full name of a service beyond "[Thunder...thernet]", if it's longer than about 10 characters, is in the title bar of the Advanced settings pane.

It could be worse, Amazon could use Golden State Overnight like Monoprice does. Monoprice offers a couple overnight delivery services, but doesn't mention why one is pricey and one (GSO) is free.

I've generally had good luck with the Amazon delivery services, except that OnTrac and Amazon seem to get here pretty late in the day. USPS gets here by early afternoon (or 10AM for my PO Box), FedEx/UPS mid-afternoon, OnTrac maybe 8-9PM.

Because the mail sorting at my local post office was generally done at random I paid for a PO Box. Consistent staff means that deliveries to my box are far more predictable and reliable. I've had maybe two misrouted deliveries with the box in 10+ years.

unless you propose how that's useful to the enduser, I don't see the difference. In most cases the technical capability to achieve that would seem like a far higher achievement on it's own, perhaps.
The decision is based on what's most important to you. I know it sounds like a platitude, but it is what it is.

My boyfriend came from country A to country B to move in with me, at some considerable professional cost to himself (left PhD track in hot field with, admittedly, kind of useless supervisor, for boring cookie cutter "research" in my institute).
We are not the youngest (mid-30s, early 40s), and we wanted to see if living together would make us or break us, after several years of long distance relationship. It was a risk, obviously more so for him than for me.

Four years later, I followed him back to country A, for a (not very big) cut in both our salaries, but more interesting jobs for both of us. He got a job offer, then I searched and found something for myself, too.

We are identifying quite a lot with our field / jobs, but the main decision driver was "us". For instance, I would have followed him back to country A no matter what, and he, in turn, wouldn't have taken the job offer in A had I also not found a job.

> Crime free

It's because there are police everywhere, which keeps petty crime under control. There is a bounty for turning in lost money (and if it is not claimed after a certain period the person who turned it in can keep the whole amount).

Police are also mostly respected here because they (mostly) are helpful and don't harass citizens. Someone being beaten or shot by police like overseas just doesn't happen here.

> lack of diversity

I once worked at a place that was known for being a safe place for ethnic Koreans to "come out" about their real ethnicity. I was considered to be safe to work there because some were public figures and I would not recognize them, or at least not blab on social media about x TV presenter having Korean heritage.

I guess my point is that a lot of things in Japan are completely different to how they appear to a casual observer. Even asking Japanese people is not going to get you far, because most people will not tell you their real feelings or opinions unless you are a very close friend.

Perhaps the editor should include a method to turn this kind of options on/off with special sequences e.g. in comments.
Indeed, the dithered image looks way too bright. It should be converted from sRGB gamma to linear light before dithering to black/white. Also, will need more than 8bits per channel if you hold the linear image as an intermediate result, otherwise you get posterization in the dark areas before the dithering even starts.
My experience has been the exact opposite. UPS/Fedex will usually try the buzzer. Purolator is completely hopeless - and it sucks doubly because their office is so far away. I would gladly pay extra to avoid them. Amazon's guys are the best, they not only use the buzzer but they insist on bringing the package up to the door (the other's usually make me go down to the lobby to get it.) Amazon an Walmart are often very close on price for a particular order, and I'll pick Amazon every time for the better delivery service and customer service.
Nice product! It might be a bit of a hard brand-word to pronounce and communicate... But who knows, maybe you'll do as well as LaCroix did for pamplemousse ;)
Agreed, the amount of effort you put into something has never decided how much you got paid. Only the value you can convince others you bring changes your compensation and that is only loosely coupled to effort put in
I f the reason they want to distribute was performance then as a DB performance engineer, I can tell you first hand that tuning a database, indexing and caching can keep 99.9% of the internet companies very happy.

I know its hard to imagine, but it is true and most devops teams look to a shiny new tech they saw at a meet up than (like you said) fix 90s era technologies.

My experience was closer to 30 degrees by 9pm which when combined with that humidity was just awful. After a rain it gets pretty nice at night though.

The Singaporeans and Malaysians I know mostly tend to be heavier than Asian friends and acquaintances from other countries. Dunno if the stats bear that out or if I'm just an outlier. Likewise, I don't think that the climate is so different than other nearby countries, but the food is. Tons of fried, oily, greasy carbs. It's absolutely delicious, but you can feel your arteries slamming shut just looking at half of the things you'd get in a hawker centre.

Or, if you're cynical, you can say they are playing the long game. Once amazon controls the full vertical for everything, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone else to do business with. Then, they can turn up the money faucet.
My comment was more aimed at the political rather than technical side of the current state of the American space program.

I was more thinking about politicians not just continuing exhaling hot air through their vocal cords in front of cameras, but having them actually make concrete commitments by actually putting their money where their mouth is.

If they doubled NASAs budget and chucked that 50% increase to private contractors like SpaceX, great, that would probably have incredible results. But seriously, stop talking big and actually commit to these dreams, dammit!
Great article for a noob like me. Any similar article suggestions, which gives a good high level overview on kernel internals, specifically on IO topics like what happens when an application requests for a file - right from issuing a system call to disk Interactions.

I think you are reading this wrong. Imaging you are a technical co-founder of a new start up...

If the price is good (and considering you would not have to pay for salaries as well) you would be a fool not to take it.
