Over the years we have done a number of things, probably the most impactful was auto-scaling on our core engines. Whenever we scale down it's just like scooping money out.
Basically how much they have to lose.

Say for instance there are two vpn services. Both have a 100,000 users. One makes $1,000 a year off of advertising, and the other makes $1,000,000 a year($9/month). Now both are approached by a nefarious gentleman who offers them $20,000 a year to harvest their user's information. But every year there is a 25% chance people find out and your service is shut down.

Who takes the deal? Maybe the free guy, but very few people would risk a 1M/year revenue stream to make a little extra cash, but someone might risks a much smaller revenue stream for a comparatively bigger payoff.

I would say a bike frame and associated bolts are safety critical since a failure could result in serious injury/death, especially if you are in traffic. However, I've read a bunch of positive reviews of the Chinese frames and its likely that they are produced on the same factory lines as branded frames, unless you buy something hand made in US/Europe.
You can use your own OpenVPN client.

Vega is meant to have someting called HBCC - that effectively allows you to use system RAM or even SSD as GPU memory for VERY large datasets. I have no idea if it would be fast enough for deep learning workloads over PCIe

I'm actually hoping that this will allow me to avoid a very grave situation, which is that we have some workflows which we were going to be pushed into handling with Sharepoint! I'll take Python any day!
How exactly will you use this PII to perpetuate voter fraud?

Show up at a polling station with fake ID or PII? Then at another polling station with another piece of fake ID or PII? What's your plan for voting staff checking the records, and finding out that 'you' already cast a ballot at that station?

This kind of fraud is incredibly risky, and does not scale (And is trivial to combat). Election fraud by the process of disenfranchising voters (or rigging electronic voting machines,) on the other hand, scales incredibly well.

The former is not happening, and would be incredibly difficult to pull off, at great risk to the perpetrators. The latter is happening, and is comparatively trivial to pull off (And nobody goes to jail, when they get caught.)

Voter fraud is a red herring.
Thanks for the mirror, but my God this is a tepid article.

TL;DR - Working at Amazon AWS is just fine and pretty much what you'd expect.
I always have some sort of dream that one year I’ll watch the keynote knowing nothing, but in reality I read every article or rumor leading up until the event.
The original Doubleclick (pre-purchase) is what made me get Adblock initially in the first place.

If some of you remember it, it was just another level of awful compared to regular ads and even pop-ups.
TypeScript transpiles into some target JS version (ES5, ES6, ES2016, ES.Next). It is a different language but it gets executed as JS.
The seller has implied liability, I think it would be the Amazon seller. Even though Amazon corporate sent the customer a fake not from your sellers inventory but from another sellers inventory you would still have the sue the seller first and then the seller would have to prove it wasn't the same one sent by the seller to Amazon. By the time the seller was cleared they would be in bankruptcy.

I'm pretty sure most sub-regions wouldn't trade their political dependence for North Korean-style independence (but I admit to not knowing the hearts and desires of most people ;) ).
Not the OP and I don't use DO specifically, but I've found using a VPS provider to be a more or less painless VPN experience. Providers like DO, OVH, and Vultr have scripts for easy one-click OpenVPN setup, or you can roll your own if you don't trust their scripts (though if that's the case maybe you don't trust the VPS provider at all...)

That said, always verify that the tunnel is operating correctly before assuming it is and taking off. I've found on more than one instance that the OpenVPN client was misconfigured and seemed to connect, yet my IP was still being reported as my ISP's.
My personal experience with Flask has led me to believe it's many times easier to expand on vanilla Flask then it is to try and incorporate any of the flask-* libraries.
If your only point is that "cash" includes short-term T-bills, then

1) What else is the article adding? The fact that it (historically) yields something above inflation was enough to refute the OP's implied claim about negative real returns.

2) That wouldn't address the OP's point that they still have a low RoR for a long-term portfolio.

3) As in my comment it wouldn't refute that T-bills haven't kept up with inflation recently.

If the article's point is about how balancing into/out of a stable investment can improve portfolio return, then that would warrant a summary in your comment.

Sorry if my comments come off as mean. I'm trying to convey why a giant article might not be helpful to resolving the disagreement.

Simplicity Itself for Blockchains
I admit, most of my hesitations are in the realm of my not trusting websites to do it properly. :D
I did no such thing. I picked a `foo` to prove a point: That the type inference engine is more than capable of inferring every type in a reasonably sized program, and the toy examples we are dealing with are below a minimum threshold. It had nothing to do with satisfying the type checker or finding some "consistency". Furthermore, the larger point was simply that the "type burden" is often not a burden at all and can in fact be completely invisible to you the user. Look at https://hackage.haskell.org/package/turtle-1.4.4/docs/Turtle... and see how very few of the examples have explicit type annotations, and when they do they exist for explanatory and documentation purposes only.

Please don't assume the motivations or intentions behind my actions and then attempt to use that to prove a point.

To address that point explicitly: In general, if requirements change then the code needs to change. Neither Clojure, nor Haskell will make that fundamental truth go away. You say you want to create less work for yourself when this happens. I'd like to propose that there is different types of work with differing qualities. When you receive a requirement change, the first step is to determine what that means for the system as it stands. This is by far the hardest step and is where the majority of the "hard" work lies. The next step is to change the system to fit the new requirement. This is primarily a mechanical task of following directions you laid out in the first step. I think it's preferable at this point to have some tool or process, even multiple, to make sure you do this part correctly. Tests, types, and code review are the three major tools I've seen aimed at this problem. Tests help ensure you've specified the changes correctly by forcing you to write them down precisely. Types help ensure you've implemented the changes correctly by forcing consistency throughout the system. Code review helps ensure you've implemented the changes in a manner that is understandable (maintainable) by the rest of your team. Note also that tests require an investment in writing and maintaining them, types (with global type inference) require no upfront investment but can require some maintenance, and code review requires participation of team members of similar skill level to you. They also all require some level of expertise to be effective. It seems shortsighted to throw away static types when they are, in my opinion, the cheapest method of helping correct implementation.
I mostly use VirtualBox, or VMware in Windows. pfSense VMs make great VPN gateways. VPN and pf setup are pretty easy with their webGUI. Debian VMs also make great VPN gateways, but setup is harder, and their disk footprint is greater.

I've thought about doing it all in one OS, with iptables or pf to control routing. It'd be lots lighter, but more fragile.

"Equally beige" seems harsh of the writer. Phoenix is one of my least-favorite cities, but the Sonoran Desert is absolutely beautiful and far from bland. As you say, the only highlight of Phoenix for me was getting out of it.
If you are building and running systems using Kafka or something like that it is still helpful (and sometimes essential) to understand the fundamentals of the subject.
Unfortunatly, you lose access to certain sites, like Netflix, who block cloud IP ranges.
Presumably so; when I've tried the SOCKS support built in to Firefox, I've noticed that sites that I have blackholed via my hosts file begin working again.
Amazon encourages developers to be on call, but there are also rolling on-call systems so no one gets paged in the middle of the night. A team I work closely with does this. It isn't very stressful for me, I'm just on call for small, well-defined intervals, something like 1 week out of every 6, and only high severity issues will cause a page. In the last year or so I've been on call I was only paged after normal business hours once. Of course, Amazon is an absolutely massive company, so different teams may have wildly different experiences.

The Amazon way appeals to me because in my experience pretty much no one ever does the pre-reading.

If the user typed a character before the keyboard input buffer was emptied it would be lost.

Huh. I never noticed this. Then I recalled that my Apple ][ had a Videx Keyboard Enhancer. Turns out it provided an input buffer (besides providing upper/lower case which is the primary reason we added it). Now I'm wondering how much latency the buffer added and whether it reduced my high score on Lode Runner.
I'm not sure if your methods would fix the issue but you can get around it if your router supports acting as a VPN client. After you configure the connection it becomes invisible to all your lan clients and you can use all of your local network goodies.
I think that it's a trade off between features and performance. Are they going to add more customers by making Slack smaller and faster or by adding threaded conversations and other user features? Certainly stability is a requirement, and I see that in the changes they are talking about here. They could allocate a ton of engineers to platform native Slack implementations that would be fast as hell. But would they be able to ship a new feature like threaded conversations to all platforms quickly? What would be the cost? How would that change their presence in the marketplace. Everything is a trade off.
What was wrong with the first team? How large are teams, generally? Are we talking like, six people, or sixty?
Don't see why you're getting downvoted. From a user standpoint, IKEv2 doesn't require a secondary client and integrates with most major OS better.

For example: It's way easier for a client to install a mobileconfig to ios that supports on demand VPN than it is to have them download and configure openvpn. Fairly set and forget.

This is a decent first-steps guide into analyzing historical trading data. With resources like Quandl, QuantConnect, etc continuing to improve, hopefully we will see more and more people diving into the data.

That being said, the "todos" at the end of this article kind of understate just how much work is left to be done before a strategy like this could be put into production. Ignoring the actual viability of a simple moving average cross signal, you could have the best strategy out there but would never stand a chance without significant time and effort committed to the execution and risk management sides of automated trading.

I've been very happy with PIA. It's cheap with minimal impact to my bandwidth. The concern is that, like all VPNs, we are trusting them not to keep logs. PIA claims that they proved in court that they do not keep logs because they provided no useful data to an FBI request. There's a debate over whether this proves they don't keep logs or not here:

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/26284...

Is this semantics? I am uncertain. I do think that it's in PIA's best commercial interests not to keep logs. It's the core of their business model. The moment a PIA customer's identity is revealed through them is the moment they lose all business.
> But that's not really the threat model described when people are talking about their ISP snooping on what they do. A private VPN solves exactly that problem.

It only solves it against a particular ISP.

> Also you still have the same issue with virtually all of those paid VPN services (that you connect from your IP and that you paid for the service).

I completely agree, that's why I always maintain that only privacy by design solutions should be relied on (Tor and i2p for example).

> Oh, and Vultr takes Bitcoin, btw (not that that's privacy but it is potentially a layer of separation from your bank account).

But they know the IP, so that's still identifiable information.
I wish some of these companies would embrace having offices in places other than those with very high cost of living.
Not all states require an ID to vote. Voter ID laws are a controversial measure.

Generally, you register to vote. As long as you input plausible information and a real address you can receive mail at, you are likely to get on the rolls. Once you get on the rolls, you just show up at the polling station and tell them who you are (no ID required), they look for the name in the book, mark you as having voted, and you go vote.

Several years ago they did pass a law federally requiring an ID if you couldn't provide the last-four of an SSN or a driver's license, though, if you're a new voter. Not sure how that works if e.g., you're Amish and don't have an SSN or driver's license.
No-log providers can still very likely be compelled to start logging by a combination of the All Writs Act and NSLs.
I'm sorry, but that just doesn't make any sense at all. All capital is not eventually spent; otherwise there would be no such thing as generational wealth.

Technically speaking, I guess maybe over the course of the rise and fall of a society what you're saying is true, but I don't think the government would want to wait that long to see some tax revenue.
I compressed some data stored in S3 in a lossy way to 2% of its original size, saved a bundle.
Exactly this. A handful of good AMD engineers should be able to squeeze everything out of their own hardware by tuning fast convolution, gemm and other ML related kernels optimised for Vega. That happens once, not for every framework.

AMD's management just doesn't seem to be that interested in ML.
Both. There has been absolutely no evidence that it is any kind of a risk. Despite all of that information being out there, you still need actual people to go in and do the voting, and in large numbers at that. The amounts of money, and the amounts of people who all have to keep quiet is mindblowing.
The analogy with a company is misleading. Is Mark a cofounder or an employee of this company?

* If a cofounder, he's probably entitled to shares. As a cofounder, talking to the board or investors would fit the character (he /was/ a cofounder)

* If an employee, as employee was getting paid or equity. Upon termination, he would receive severance. I think the discussion about how many tickets, what percentage of the booth, etc isn't very different from a company firing an employee and discussing how much severance. For a company with no money, how to split the assets.

In general, as investor/board member, I would be shocked to know that an employee - who hasn't signed an IP license agreement - is walking away, without signing an IP license agreement, making the entire IP asset of the company a potential legal liability. As board member, I'd have advised the CEO to QUICKLY settle this IP dispute, to give in on everything requested (booth, tickets, etc) - BUT - to receive a signed paper claiming full ownership of the project.
Booth and tickets can easily be replaced. A startup whose IP ownership is unclear will be a dealbreaker for any investments during ANY due diligence process.

Doesn't have to, the NAACP applied for an injunction that would stop the purges while the case is making its way through the court. It's basically the first step any time a law or something like this is challenged in the court.

I understand that you might get that from what I wrote, but I can assure you that is almost exactly the inverse of my own perspective on this matter.

I think there's a chance that my teenage son will, in his lifetime, be facing a biosphere doing its best to kill him. I think there's a chance that extreme weather will be destroying most of the food the human race try to grow within the next 25 years.

The science of this aspect of climate change is still pretty new, but evidence is piling up fast.

> And the real truth is that you can be an optimist to a fault. Keep that in mind.

Very true, and I consider that every single day. The perspective I provided above is about fending off despair, which is far worse than inappropriate optimism.

My mission in life is simply stated. I will work every day on the things that will provide my son and his descendents, if any, and the people he cares about, the highest possible probatility for a happy, productive, long life.

All I'm saying is that you'll just be under a delusion. False sense of security is way worse than no security at all.

This burden already exists with dependencies (and we should probably say downstream "admins" instead of "users" to clarify). A self-hosted app should not be hamstrung by its initial dependency choices. If tested and implemented properly it can go from optional experimental flag, to multiple-storage-backends-supported abstraction, to [maybe] even we're-migrating-to-new-storage-backend, etc. The primary downside in these cases is the flexibility often provided to plugin and extension writers which marries them to early tech choices. The more admins that demand low change count on forward movement are indirectly the reason many companies choose to offer SaaS only where the visibility and flexibility are removed.

Note, I'm not saying this is the case with GitLab at all and I assume Postgres will remain the primary choice for most of their DB uses in perpetuity, but for some use cases there is better tech to use and the only reason to say no shouldn't just be a dependency addition (though it is often a good reason among many to say no).

You're usually fairly safe if you pay the 'going rate' for a product. Check several listings. The ones listed as 1.00 yuan are asking you to negotiate which is more effort than you probably want to deal with, the ones 15-30% under are probably from a rejected batch or a line of functional fakes, the real bargain prices are probably not even what you think you're ordering, etc.

You'll still get burned sometimes. But the savings!

But all the fancy stuff still doesn't work, it's mostly just fluff. (NB: I don't use VS Code or Atom and the Slack App on Linux has literally zero upsides for me vs a pinned desktop chrome bookmark or using nativefier, screenhero still misses features.)

I think it's different for each team, especially the AWS groups. I know some support engineers that do 12on/12off rolling calls like you said, but others where it's one person on call, 24/7 for a week and they catch everything, not just SEV 1. It really just depends on your org/boss but the AWS org is known to be particularly pager-slaved.

Shooting from the hip is a good way to trash a democracy. What you're proposing would allow a single, centralized actor to purge voters from the rolls. De-centralised systems will always have longer, more-idiotic tails. That's the tradeoff for their robust central tendencies.
