Pretty good summary!

We have tried to be as thorough as we could with what data the extension saves in local storage, even with the first release. There are always improvements that can be done and will be done.

We are going to add to the blacklist to not send things like twitter settings or wp dashboards etc.

Youtube is a bug that sneaked in just before release, in reality the UI does not reflect that youtube is supported and used. It's being addressed right now.
> it was offering a view of the US that was not really available from American news outlets

of course it wasn't. their view is literally Kremlin narrated propaganda. how american news outlets are supposed to know that stuff?

I have thought about the impact that ubiquitous apps like Google Maps or Waze might have on the real world and people who aren't necessarily tapping into that space. It first came about when Google Maps directed me along a side street that paralleled a major thoroughfare. It was very residential, lots of stop signs and street parking, whereas the thoroughfare was all commercial with decent speed but some traffic lights. The residential route probably was marginally faster, but I took it at the expense of the residents who wanted/deserved a quiet and slow street. Could you imagine if suddenly the Google Maps algorithm decides that your quiet street is the best route to get across town? Now there are a thousand more cars and hurried ride shares traveling in front of your house, rolling through stop signs, all because an opaque and stoic algorithm has decided so. There is no social recourse. There is no support line. You can't go the the city council to get anything done about it. What a twist of fate.

a device that's sitting in the home is priceless to a company. not even for the data they get. it's because the next device they buy they'll think of devices that will work with the one they've already bought. have an amazon echo? they'll probably buy speakers that support alexa, car integrations with alexa, etc..
If you're worried about the price, either sell a portion to cover the taxes, or buy call options offering downside protection.

I would also recommend this author's "Easy Way" book for quitting drinking, if that's something you're interested in. I read the book over the course of 2 days, and in that time experienced a complete paradigm shift wherein alcohol suddenly lost all appeal to me. Before then I knew drinking was causing me more harm than good, and I knew the deleterious effects of consuming it, yet I never felt compelled to do anything about it. After reading the book, drinking alcohol just didn't make sense to me anymore.
I wonder how it compares to SciDB[0] which is also used for storing multidimensional data.

Perhaps this is true in some countries. In the USA and Europe, the average professor works 61 hours a week and encounters very high levels of stress, linked to continuously having to obtain research funds.

And to be fair, I don't particularly like RT or Russian foreign policy or Putin but to blame those factors for losing the election is ridiculous.

We've seen similar levels of cognitive dissonance in the UK after Brexit. Russia, Low Information Voters, etc etc. It's all just excuses. Examine your policies and your candidates first.

>I've read so many comments like yours, on HN and elsewhere, and invariably the argument hinges on some variation of the above sentiment. I've come to believe I just have fundamentally different values than the vast majority of people who work in industry.

Indeed! Why is the assumption always, "We all value money, so just switch to industry!"? It's like telling a public servant that if they wanted a living wage they'd learn Node.js. Not everyone wants to do industrial web-dev, and not everyone should have to. There are high-skill, high-impact contributions to society that don't involve corporate life, shouldn't involve corporate life, and instead need an institutional space for people to pursue them without the pressures and incentives of corporate life.

"Just switch to industry" is turning into the scholarly equivalent of, "just learn to code". Instead of all giving up on some people making the best impact they can, the impact they work desperately hard for, maybe we should just fix the academic labor system.
Am I the only one having a problem with the term "analog" for everything non-digital?
First of all digits can very well be analog to something, e.g. a CD contains digits analogous to sound pressure in a similar way a vinyl records has grooves analogous to sound.
Furthermore analog means quite the opposite of the "real thing" - as the name says, it is an analogy of something, not the thing itself.
I could just let go and accept the new meaning of analog, but I think the implication of using it this way leads to the false impression that everything digital is just fake and a mere approximation of the-real-thing. As someone who breathes digitally, this makes me a bit sad.
Yeah, even on 16G it's a dog.

Once I find a good replacement for jump-to-usage in VSCode I'll probably ditch it for good.
Is this what their platform is based on? Are they just using some other guys code? This thing looks more fishy with the more data people have posted.
That their business model is to get the money move as much as possible, as they charge per transaction.
You are extremely rude. But that aside, what am I "parroting" exactly? I didn't know that saying the Washington Post was pro-war propaganda was controversial in 2017.
Well, I think there is a common misconception among academics: They think that theory must be pure and that people who work tend to muddle the theory.

What they seem to ignore is that theory is an abstraction within the human mind and that the real thing is something practical.

So in my opinion the academic path should be accompanied by a real/practical job (within the field of study). Apart from supporting the student with a salary it would bring alternative career paths much earlier to the table.
Do you have any info on what temperature your drives are running on normally?

Love to see some performance stat to see if read /write IOP, MB/second, etc change over time on per model base.

Other than complete failure, do you collect check the any other early warning failure data such as ECC change over the life time of the drive? --- Would be a fun big data exercise for an intern to work on.
You won't get underwater from a vested stock that crashed; the company bears the responsibility of selling enough shares at the time of vest to cover all the taxes- that said you can end up paying a huge sum in taxes and getting no cash from the deal if it crashes before you sell your half.

You can get in real trouble with options of non-public companies and with ESPP plans. Stock from an ESPP plan, if sold in the first 12 or 18 months of holding (depending on the plan details) will be reported as ordinary income at the time of purchase. If you sell during that 12-18 month period at a loss you will still owe taxes at the full price, and that can get you in a hole. I've heard of people owing 20k taxes on a 5k return because of a panic sell during a market downturn.

I'm just an engineer and not a tax professional, so there may be errors in what I've stated.
It is interesting that the case with Twitter looks similar to what happens in Russia: many russian companies like advertisement agencies don't want to make deals with opposition, major mass media don't cover anti-government protests.

Well, as a private company Twitter can decide for itself with whom they want or don't want to make a deal. But is it their own independent decision I wonder?
In reality it's the opposite and that is why we join their boat. There is no company that tries to fix the internet in the profound way eyeo does. They care about all the things most internet companies does not. The reputation they got are based on stories created by the ad industry, and yes, obviously they hate eyeo.
Rising rents force longer work weeks. Longer work weeks force people to be away from their homes more. Being at work all the time leads to lack of a social life. Lack of a social life leads to more socializing at work. More socializing at work reduces productivity. Reduced productivity harms the economy. Discuss.
I agree completely, also their platform is just so slow and full of bugs. It simply looks like they havn't changed anything in the past 10 years.

Edit: Forgot to mention that their search is so bad, they mix search results with search phrases previously so it's impossible to find things I am looking for.
This is a real hard problem. Bad people make everything bad for everyone else. The problem is more about the US market laws and scalability I think.

Large companies like eBay have to take fraud and customer support costs and weight it against their company vs you as a seller. It would take a company that cared more about sellers than their own bottom line.

The customer is always right. Middle men like eBay have two customers though: the buyer and the seller. They support the one that helps them the most and let the other get burned occasionally.

Note: I mostly buy "buy-it-now" items on ebay
Yes, twitter can do what it wants.

But the government can't _make_ twitter do what the government wants, at least not without good reason.
That's an insufficient model of evaporation.

The evidence is the study in which they applied Dicamba as directed to waterproof trays of dirt in one field. They then trucked the trays of dirt to another field, and laid them between rows of non-resistant crops. The crops died, showing that the Dicamba in the trays must have affected the crops.

Water has a melting point of 212F. Nonetheless, it evaporates, and does not all stay behind.
Three feedback points for B2. In case anyone from BB is reading:

- (mentioned this before) invoices need improvement. No accountant will accept this as of now. Please take a look at e.g. Digitalocean for how to do this right. I mentioned this at least 5 times to support...but nobody seems to care.

- upload speed is really bad from Europe (might be purely due to distance). Tried uploading one TB (@1.25MB/s), did around 25GB per day. Switched to a Hetzner Storage box, doing consistently 75GB per day right now.

- deleting your bucket (with data in it) requires to install a command-line tool which is really inconvenient. Took me 30 minutes+ and still threw some weird java.exception afterwards when clicking on „delete bucket“. Why not put a simple „delete“ button in the web ui?

Our Jira instance is shared across multiple academic institutions and is hosting hundreds of active projects and I still find page loads to be pretty much instant, so mileage varies I guess!

His "idea" is some utter bullshit though. Either they are very very naive or just fools. I am veering towards fools.
I am thinking of doing a munging and data cleaning dsl and using OpenRefine as a way to implement the code. I really think that would be super handy for doing data cleaning.

A few people have done some R calls within Racket that is intresting.
The only purchase I ever done on eBay was in 2002 for a PocketPC. It never came. I reported the seller. They said 22 others were scammed and PayPal, their partner in crime, said that they couldn't reveal the seller's personal detail unless by court order. That was the only UX data point I needed. Never used eBay again.
>There hasn't been any evidence of anything other than minor mischief.

The son of the candidate openly admitted to meeting with Russian foreign agents in order to secure a quid pro quo agreement (and that doesn't even touch on Flynn and Manafort). We have evidence of pen testing on voting infrastructure, we have copious amounts of evidence of psychological operations currently on-going from Russian services via social media.

This isn't about clinton, this is about defending the core of our democracy from foreign powers. It's obscene to try and shrug it off with such shallow cynicism.
You can't get students without grants. Most professors want students, because they like doing research, and so have to apply for grants.
Seems like a great way for eBay to undercut brick and mortar stores (and for consumers to save money) on cheap junk from China that people would rather pay $0.99 and wait 3wk for than pay $4.99 and have right now.
it's just instagram but worse
> RT is quite clearly seen by the Russian government as a useful propaganda tool, and not a news outlet that would ever challenge the current Russian government's malfeasance.

Well I don't think we're likely to see the NYT or Fox or CNN challenging the US Government in any significant way. They are actually all consistently doing the US's bidding by helping sell various war efforts to their fans/viewers.

> Russia has long played up domestic strife in the US to disprove the notion of American exceptionalism.

So an editorial stance that rejects American Exceptionalism is now suspect? In my view the litmus test for RT is if the content stops at rejecting American Exceptionalism, or whether it goes further and attempts to make Americans believe things that are actually not true.

Considering how much content in a typical issue of the NYT reinforces American Exceptionalism, it's quite refreshing to read something now and then that dispenses with that. The idea of American Exceptionalism is very harmful to the democratic process in America and to the world in general. I think it's among the most devastating and harmful ideas ever if measured by the suffering it has caused.

The problem is that our own papers offer American Exceptionalism in high doses every single day.

I wanna be civil but I couldn't read your comment without sharing my (strong) opinion that instead the opposite of every one of the listed recognitions and conclusions is the more accurate interpretation about this article.

- is the imagery really a stylistic choice made in bad faith, if people are more likely to be worse at visualizing the differences in size from numbers than vice versa?

- pathos is mutually exclusive from logos?

- or that the argument that African victims received less news attention per corpse is a pathos based appeal and not logos..? (or that the suggestion it is not a logos based appeal may be, upon further inspection, a pathos based appeal itself..)

- having felt manipulated by receiving accurate info that, nevertheless, made you better informed for having heard it, despite suspicions that there are ulterior motives for being reminded of dead Africans, too?

if you wouldn't mind, I'd at least want to see what you thought of that, or perhaps what a better way to communicate the information would have been

Maybe the American political establishment should tell people not to believe every nonsense they read and hear about. But then they would also have to give up on their attack ads too... When I see attack ads most of them seem also geared towards spreading baseless or distorted accusations so maybe the American system should first clean up its own act before pointing fingers at other countries.
All Amazon did was integrate with the better selling smart locks. Amazon.com sales probably already provides the data to evaluate the feasibility of such a service - high traction on smart locks among prime members. I don't think this journalist has a clue about what's happening

If you want to get pedantic, yes. However, the intent of what you are doing is, in my mind, much different.

Logging into a system expresses the intent to run something there - you want to perform some actions as a result of authenticating - it's an active process.

Signing a document is about authenticating the document - it's something passive.
Folks like you are being willfully ignorant. It's very easy to understand how the Russian fake news operation got such a good ROI. The election came down to around 20k votes in three states. Combine an unprecedented data mining operation (Cambridge Analytica) with microtargetting enabled by social media companies, as well as the viral nature of fake news, its easy to see how a small amount of money can sway a marginal amount of voters in key states.
Vesting _options_ aren't taxed until you exercise them.

When you exercise them, the company's most recent valuation will include a value for the common stock you purchased, and you can get hit by AMT on the value increase from the strike price to the current value.

Note: I am not a tax expert and my memory is imperfect.
$300k isn't a life changing amount obviously (in the lavish multi-millionaire sense), yet if you have debt it could pay off perhaps (hopefully?) all the debt you have and put a big down payment on a house depending on where you're at, etc.

Point being, that decision is very personal in nature, it depends on your circumstances. So you want to start there, with your personal circumstances. Then after that, it depends on what you think of the company prospects. If you think the company is going to be far more valuable in ten years, regardless of the present stock market bubble, then that should influence your choice. I would suggest avoiding trying to guess where the stock market bubble is going to go, who knows if it's going even higher yet or if it's just about to pop; and focus on things you can control and understand with certainty.

Finally, obviously you don't have to liquidate all of your holdings. If you have $50k in student loans, sell at least enough to wipe that out. Debt is one of the few things I overwhelmingly will always argue in favor of eliminating at the first opportunity. There are a lot of ways to earn $300,000. Debt can and often will make your life a living hell on the other hand.

Data IO and actually having to be correct is why business logic is so slow. Sure, there's megabytes of textures but its already uploaded to fast ram on heavily pipelined and massively parallel device.

If you had to look up CRUD vertex and texture data as database rows from another machine through the internet you wouldn't see a very smooth game.

I don't have the experience to deliver this type of an opportunity, but they may hear from someone already in the states looking for what their team can provide - even if looking on behalf of someone else. Perhaps no contact info was a way to avoid these recruiter-ish types!

Data flow, data flow, data flow.

It's all about structuring your data such that don't don't cache miss on your fetches and you don't stall your pipelines by doing operations that flush/occupy the same pipe.

You can easily see 10-50x performance boosts on the same dataset with the right approach.
