> And what incentive do collective groups have to do that?

Because we do not want the union "benefits" that aren't really benefits.

We do not want another group controlling our workplace or forcing us into horrible, one size fits all, collective bargaining agreements. We want to be allowed to negotiate for ourselves.

We do not want gigantic barriers to entry, meant only to discriminate against people who couldn't afford to buy a fancy 4 year piece of paper.

We do not want discrimination against young people (ie, seniority pay requirements) forced into our contracts. We want to be judged equally on our own merits.

We do not want to be stuck in an organization that we can basically never get rid of once it is established.

I believe that I am way better off without any union forcing me to join.

And apparently a whole lot of other people ALSO agree with me.

We believe that it is very much in the self interest of workers to prevent unions from destroying our industry with overbearing rules and regulations that prevent us from doing our job.

This is not some rare, weird, opinion that I hold. This is the MAJORITY opinion. Unions are less popular than ever, because we the workers don't want them.

>b) relying on random numbers being both fair and not being tampered with, even though over-reliance on that is one of the common failure modes with cryptography in general.

If you are interested I was an author on a paper which looked at the probability of choosing bad nodes, how an attacker could manipulate this and what bad things an attacker can do once they partition you from the network. Many of the countermeasures and security enhancements we proposed are now in Bitcoin making the network harder to attack.

To clarify, in the past the over subscription might have required dedicated bandwidth for voice but that's no longer the case.

Voice is very low bandwidth as long as the minimum bandwidth per device is over 100 kpbs and the device to prioritize voice data towers don't need to bother with QoS for traffic. They still do this for various reasons, including the fact they are sending the voice data to a separate network not the internet.

TLDR; Total bandwidth / devices > 100kbps and it's not actually over subscribed.
I understood perhaps mistakenly the OP's comment to mean each "repeater" point was an L2 hop.

But my main point was that the undersea spans are not in fact "repeatered" and there is no conversion of signal once it leaves land.
Unfortunately, Occam's Razor can say whatever you want by fiddling the apriori probabilities. Here, the probability you need is how likely that theory is to be true - just because it could be false doesn't mean it's 50-50.

If all the models show planet formation is messy, it seems reasonable to estimate its probability as much greater than 0.5 (note that even if it's 0.9999, they still could be wrong).
Thanks for the tip, I'll be improving that in the patch releases soon.

Until that is done: It supports IE11, FF48+, Edge and Chrome. Mobile browser tests are on the way. Some things are ported from Normalize.css for backword compatibility, but the goal is to remove them as soon as IE11 drops below 1%.

> Lock-based structures tend to have less synchronization instructions in total, but the inherent mutual exclusion means that usually only one thread can make progress at a time [...]. Lock-free algorithms tend to have more synchronization instructions in total, but all threads tend to be able to make progress at all times.

technically not correct. In a lock based implementation, it is possible that no thread is making progress, i.e. no guarantees. Lock free is the guarantee that at least one thread makes progress. Wait free is the guarantee that all threads might be making progress.

> Their are no "three-acre farms," at best it's a garden.

It's not easy to make a decent living of a tiny farm, but some people have done it. Most of them target higher-end products and direct-to-customer sales. For example, Eliot Coleman had a 5-acre farm on the coast of Maine that apparently did fairly well selling fresh local vegetables during the fall and spring for many years. His book is excellent and fascinating: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Season-Harvest-Organic-Vegetable... One of his big staple crops was really good carrots during fall months, because frost makes carrots sweeter, and if you don't use machines to harvest them, it's possible to grow tastier varieties.

There are also some very tiny Vermont farms that produce gourmet cheese. This obviously adds a huge amount of value to their milk production.

So in general, you're right. But it actually possible to make a living selling luxury products to foodies. The stereotypical farmer in this market is somebody who retired young from Wall Street, and who has fairly impressive business and marketing skills.
These are definitely interesting, kind of have to build your house around one though.

We currently use a wood stove that uses a catalytic combuster, so actually reburns the smoke for even more heat. Silly efficiency and almost no particulate matter so passes even the most stringent environmental laws. Its actually one the greenest ways to heat a place like ours. (it only heats the main living area though, we use small space heaters for bedrooms downstairs)

Ask HN: ZFS on FreeBSD vs. expensive NAS for 100 TB backup over NFS?
Fellow HNers!
I have a chance to upgrade our backup server that is an aging NetApp Filer costing us big money.
Is it a good idea to setup FreeBSD-ZFS on Directly attached JBODs and use it over NFS?

Or are there any practical reasons I should look into enterprise NAS vendors(NetApp, EmC etc al)?

I imagine the server and disks I'd buy would come with support, and I can replace them as needed. It's usecase is stupidly simple:
4 NFS mount points to a single host that rsyncs our primary storage every night.
One backup admin user and nothing fancy.

Any experiences, suggestions before I step into building this thing?

I can address the first point, at least. Forge-equivalent wasn't meant to mean identical; I'd be absolutely delighted to see a better (that is, existent) API, it just needs to support about the same things. Which does not include coremod hackery.

And yes, you'd need to create a client mod. Sure, it's a compromise, but it'd still be an improvement over the current state of affairs.
bitwarden can handle both your password and a TOTP. I suppose other password managers could as well.

Personally, I'm not fond of storing TOTP within a password manager. Then again, I also don't like webmail (because the JavaScript code can differ per session and we cannot audit notice any difference). Bridge is interesting.
There was a period for me around 2008 where Mashable was one of my go-to sites for tech news. It was like a more fun, less grumpy version of TechCrunch. And then over time I read it less and less, until one day I realized that my Facebook feed was a good 60% non-tech click bait posts from Mashable. I unliked their page, and that was the end of my relationship with them.

The problem was that I think they were always a bit me too in their coverage from the start. Even in their tech news days, they were never quite on top of startup news like TechCrunch. It's not a surprise that they also got lost chasing after BuzzFeed as well.
>Meanwhile, we moved the discussion from a narrower issue of the article to a wider issue of sideloading in general.<

Refer to earlier explanation of tiresome.

>You still can't in general. Only in very specific, narrow situations, blessed by Apple. Your feelings about ease of side loading vs. app store are irrelevant, as we are talking about running software that Apple for various reasons might not approve of.<

What are these "narrow" and "specific" situations you speak of? If you wish to distribute apps in jurisdictions where they are banned, I don't see why Apple is obliged to help you break the law. As for the side-loading capability, I have yet to encounter anyone who has had problems with Apple restricting their ability to side-load while enrolled under their enterprise program. Hell you can even use TestFlight to push your "beta" apps to "beta-testers" in perpetuity.

>In practice, you can run only things that Apple approves. Not good enough.<

I added a PS, but these value adds stop being a farm. If you operate a cheese factory that can create a lot of value from a small area, but it generates value even if you use milk from a different farm. Operating a stall is again a way to generate revenue, but that's completely independent from actually growing food.
"PS: They might say be operating a stall at a locally grown market, but it's the stall not the farm that's generating income."

If the stall sells products coming from the farm, the difference is lost on me.

It's like saying "it's the Sales department that generate income, while Engineering is just a cost".
'美丽' is used to describe 'ecological civilization', not to describe beautiful cities.
It is used against the backdrop that pollution (of water, air, soil, etc.) is very serious across China, and there are many complaints from ordinary people.

You can see the meaning of '美丽' from this sentence '生态环境根本好转，美丽中国目标基本实现' (the ecological environment has fundamentally improved, and the goal of a beautiful China has basically been achieved).
Art collectors that buy stolen art on dark net would be very ruthless I imagine. They would probably hire an assasin to kill whoever steals their magnificent art.
Sure, some computer people live in bubble. But the idea that humanities professors are going to help change that instead of making them even more deluded I think is wrong. The humanities are currently a toxic breeding ground for pro statist, pro racist and pro sexist ideas. Only since their sexist and racist views express the kind of sexism and racism that government types approve of, it gets promoted as being "humanitarian"
The relevant metric for deciding if something is rare (in this context) is the number of available substitutes, including by other artists, not uniqueness. A snowflake is unique, but not rare.

The artist concerned here "is considered as one of New Zealand's leading artists" and has a "unique painting style", and so there are very few paintings that are like his, and (probably crucially, although I'm not familiar with the specifics) plays a role in New Zealand national identity.

You can get plenty of expressive landscape paintings, in the sort of style of an unimaginative Van Gogh, produced by hundreds of artists throughout the 20th century, and most are perfectly pleasurable to look at, but you've never heard of the artists, and the works are easily available for hundreds to a few thousand dollars -- because they are not rare, it doesn't particular matter which of the many available paintings you end up buying, as long as you enjoy looking at it.

Because they probably paid some contractor to design it and requesting this as an update would be expensive. Most likely some director doesn't think it's worth the money. Furthermore, the security team / one random guy who is now told to handle security duties after they got that e-mail most likely has an IT background and thinks reverse engineering embedded systems is impossibly difficult.

It would only be done if the press started publishing clickbait involving "THIS TOY IS WATCHING YOUR CHILDREN!!" as most IoT security not done by the top companies is entirely reactive.

Sure, but closing the default port limits the tech to people with the interest and technical knowledge to proxy it in such a way.

> microfarms for trendy produce might not be so bad.

Yup: https://modernfarmer.com/2016/10/jm-fortier/
I think that's a universal argument for making all farms worthless, outside their subsistence value. All the produce must be sold; your argument means you can always argue that the value comes from the selling, not the farm.
Words we don’t want to lose
I read it as "Farming is generally a tough racket, though microfarms might be an exception." Not necessarily contradictory.
> (it appears reserved for those that pick their own loanwords to show off their diverse linguistic skills—smartasses, so to speak)

As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, this is not the case. The word is an accepted loanword in linguistics jargon, and the linked article was written by a linguist mainly for other linguists. This German word was not picked to "show off" anything. Rather, since linguistics in the 20th century involved having to read material in, besides English, at least French and German as well, lots of German loanwords just naturally passed into the jargon of linguists because they seemed apt, not because anyone wanted to impress their peers (for it would hardly seem impressive, one’s peers being able to read German just as well).
The difference is that (as I understand it, not at all an expert in agriculture) the stall would generate nearly equal income if you just bought produce from another farmer and sold it at the stall.
I thought of this great game instantly!
Yes, a combination of Tumbling and Monero is a good step. I do this as part of my living. To bootstrap our company it took me over a month to get linked-bitcoins to unlinked-bitcoins.

Monero is not a magic-cure-all! Monero needs a very big warning like Tor Project says, how Tor is not alone going to save you.

Another big piece of management is a tree-shaped wallet-graph. You want to split your money regularly, then churn and obfuscate each wallet. And NEVER JOIN THEM. Even with Monero there is no safe way to join amounts. If you split into Wallet1 and Wallet2, then 10 transactions later they are running low and you want to consolidate, then you run a high risk of correlating all those transactions.

At this time, there is no official guidance on how to use Monero safely.
>It doesn't take anything away from my argument that bitcoin's netcode is archaic and remains a major hurdle to scaling, and there is way too much political cruft to move things along.

2. Look at all the changes in net_processing [0].

3. There has been a long term project to refactor and improve the netcode which has been ongoing for several years and has made massive changes to the netcode. How do I know? Over the last two years I have had to rewrite pull requests several times because the netcode has been rapidly changing.

Tax rates went up. (At least, where I am. Don't know about the US)

A priori, I don't see any reason to believe that creating it should be possible. It's never been observed, and I'm assuming there aren't any models which predict any methods by which it might come into existence. That's as good as saying it's made up to me.

This is not correct. If the tumbler is compromized then your records are trivially known. It is a bad assumption to think tumblers are not honeypots or do not sell their records to LE.
The "verb" section has two definitions for effect.

>1. To make or bring about; to implement.

>2. Misspelling of affect.

I believe the second one is the relevant definition here. Compare that to google's verb definition of affect:

>1. pretend to have or feel (something).

>2. use, wear, or assume (something) pretentiously or so as to make an impression on others.

Which seems a much more natural fit for your usage.

I don't intend this as an ad hominem. I'm not saying your argument is wrong because you misspelled a word. Spelling and grammar mistakes happen. In fact, another commenter has pointed out one of mine in this thread. I just know that the distinction between affect and effect is tricky, and wanted to point it out as I want my own mistakes pointed out so I can stop making them and become better.

>One truth is that telling somebody to find a new job if they don't want to have to deal with neck strain or gender politics is clearly a dig at the woman's femininity.

My reading of this line is that it is a repetition of the theme of the comment - software development has flaws, but these flaws, in the commenter's experience, are better than in other fields. For example, one might imagine a dentist strains his/her neck while staring down into the mouths of patients for long periods, or a pursuer of the culinary arts will be exposed to variations of gender discrimination less refined than the writings of James Damore.

>of course men aren't going to naturally "feel" intimidated by a subtle implication that a woman is not up to the physicality of many jobs, or that she's being too sensitive

The commenter is not suggesting that the article is not physically "up to" the demands of software development. The article author is saying so when she writes that:

>Over the past decade it has worn me down. I have regular painful migraines triggered by working long hours. I have the beginnings of arthritis in my neck. I’ve tried standing desks, balance board desks, treadmill desks, special diets, exercising more before and after work. Doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists of every stripe. I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars. I’ve hidden it because I was afraid it would make me unemployable. I’ve worked those long hours in intense pain
