I went through all my old blockchain.info temporary wallets from 2014 in gmail the other day to collect the spare change I left in them at the time that is now worth $2k. Took 9hrs to confirm moving them, which is ridiculous. Guess it's time to switch to Monero or Zcash for use as a currency.
That's basically what I was saying uphtread; self-driving cars need to get safe enough in all conditions to replace humans without relying on data broadcasts, but once they reach that point data broadcasts that allow them to identify and avoid situations that are relatively more dangerous and/or improve routing based on dynamic conditions still can have a valuable role.
That's great to hear (heh). I haven't used those services because I buy albums and listen to college radio. But when Pandora first came out I was pretty blown away.
If I can write it faster myself and end up with lower maintenance overhead compared to the concerned dependency the concerned dependency isn't needed. This is a major concern of framework applications that intertwine with your logic since removing a framework from your application may mean a complete rewrite of your application.

With production software each and every dependency you do not validate with your integration tests is a risk beyond your visibility.

I frequently hear from JavaScript developers the excuse that a popular application is validated by the community. This is a false validation from somebody who has never worked operations. The community is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the health of your application, which is something you must take ownership of very directly.
Neural nets, more exactly, convolutional neural nets. They are quite effective nowadays.

It's cool if you can make use of it, but it doesn't span very far. Where you see the numbers 47 and 3, those are the main rail stations for commuter lines, so they do almost nothing to help those people. But if you're lucky enough to have one of the 10% of jobs that work near them, it's really nice to take advantage of.
Why do you think it's a fair trade? Your personal information, privacy and security is worth so much more than a few measly videos or games.
Seconding this. Took snapchat to Sulawesi and had no issues.
Does this foreshadow a day when Firefox starts spying on what I'm talking about?
I'm also wondering this. I don't use snapchat much, but from what the video showed in the article the "new snapchat" sounds exactly like the current snapchat. What am I missing here?
Bitcoin might soon be valued at more than the entire world GDP.

It's so weird, I presume that other than people moving funds around illicitly, people using BTC for utility right now might be low. Soon we'll mostly realise that between expensive transaction costs (I hear it's now in the dollars in fees) and the amount of time it takes to process a transaction, it would be of little value to keep accepting Bitcoin at these prices.

I just feel bad for all the shops that accept BTC, because at the point where everyone wants to convert to hard currency, the prices might fall like rain.

Though I'm in the financial sector, I don't like how we currently measure market cap based on external value.

Just because some person bought my share at 246'675.60C, doesn't mean everyone sees them collectively at that value.

Lastly, in a country where ma any people are getting scammed by forex trader "this one secret" scams; I worry a lot when more and more people who don't know much put a disproportionate amount of their money in BTC. It's legitimate cryptocurrency, but its current prices are illegitimate.
Can you explain this more? What do you mean by "focus"?
How much is it going to cost you when XX years from now you have half the savings of a SV engineer plus your house?
I currently run Cassandra inside a container. The data is on an EBS volume, attached to the instance through CloudFormation at stack creation time, and mounted through a systemd unit defined in UserData (Also through CloudFormation). It is then exposed to the container via a Docker volume mapping specified in the task definition (Also through CloudFormation!).

Would love to have an extension of the run-task command that specifies an EBS volume to attach and where to mount it when using Fargate.

All over history certain interest groups have tried to blackmail there way to power, by pushing moral codes and declaring the current power and ressource holders morally bankrupt and depraved. SV with its bunch of near autistic workaholics is a funny target for this, because you can see the repeated attempts to get to the source of power ending with just another storie about a traditional "power" group abusing, venture captial, lawyers and the likes.

I cant wait for the first snowflakes feeling harassed by Neural Networks. A unfeeling statistics sheet is out to get you? Are you sure?
Yes, technically if the empty tags do suffice, then the asterisk brings no additional value, and it would be potentially confusing to use a character that already serves a purpose in Javascript, although I doubt it since JSX tags don't support generators as an attribute or name. You could replace the asterisk with a different character in that case. My main point is that the empty tag feels, well, empty and made without a real purpose, in part because it's just so foreign compared to HTML (which is what JSX is based on?) as this kind of thing is never found in HTML. While I'm sure that there wasn't a lot of discussion within the React team about this, the inclusion of at least a single character, whatever that would be, would make it feel like it was actually designed properly, and I would also argue that adding something to make the tag feel nonempty would actually have a value (to make the tag explicit and not confusing).

I don't necessarily buy the prior art arguments too because E4X was barely used even though it was a standard and is now deprecated, and ReasonML is pretty specialized and much less popular, as well as has a different set of users, than React. If you had told me a product in the same category as React, like Angular, Vue, Ember, Ractive, etc., used that syntax, I would be much more receptive.
The problem is not informing the user that you use SDKs from third party providers, although using them for login services (Facebook, Google+, twitter) or tracking (Crashlytics, Microsoft App Insights). The other problem is not knowing exactly what these SDKs can collect. They basically have the same permissions as the apps that include them. Crashlytics will collect and send location data alongside bug reports if the crashed app has this permission. (Source: Study on the most popular 200 apps in Germany done on real network traffic. We don't know if the study will be available for the public.)

We are currently pushing for legislation changes in Europe. Users should be informed about SDKs and data destination. Europe has 3 main data sinkholes, Ireland (EU data centres for US companies), Netherlands (Akamai) and Germany (probably selection bias). Nobody knows where the data ends up afterwards and under which legislation it falls.
interesting question in general about what identifying information is usually shared: apparently age, sex, and occupation are fair game. Race is maybe, name definitely out. Previous criminal arrests are worth noting too.
How do you measure 'health' of your application, if you write from the scratch with community removed?
That's not the point that was being illustrated.

The point being that at 60k a year, it's not even possible to pay for the rent in the valley. That's why salaries are much higher than Europe.
Not a real time traveller, of course. He keeps mixing up his tense:

"On average, every year so far.."
"From now on..."

A person from the future would state dates and times categorically, because to them it is history. Fakes are easy to spot.
Was there any statistically significant changes in compensation at each level based on more unique skills or more granular classifications of engineers?

In particular I'm curious about Machine Learning/Data Science, Robotics, Distributed Systems etc, but I would imagine Web vs Mobile vs DevOps vs Data may look different too.

It's it kind of funny... one of the first home-brew CV projects I ever saw was an engineer's system that would unlock the cat flap door when it detected the cat's silhouette. A desirable side effect is that it would not open the door when the cat was carrying a rodent corpse.

This makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Using tax dollars to bail out the big guys who bought derivatives based on a virtual currency would be such a cliche.
There's a "blind man and the elephant" feel to that article. John McPhee, this guy isn't. He should visit a big fracking operation in Oklahoma, and its "man camps", for comparison.
> No one is properly adapted, that why milk consumption is associated with shorter lifespan and some diseases.

Adaptation to a lifestyle dependent on milk and it's derivatives was a huge inflection point in the evolution of Europeans. It gave the bearers of this adaptation a tremendous advantage over people who lacked it and consequently spread rapidly.

If I were you, I would be very suspicious about diet advice derived from epidemiological studies, since those studies can only ever infer correlation, not causation, and are likely mostly useless as a result of this shortcoming. This article by Gary Taubes goes into great detail about why (and, seriously, this is one of the most important things I've ever read):

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/16/magazine/16epidemiology-t....

> Do yo mean to only drink milk (or eat meat)?

Yes. See the Maasai (huge milk consumption) and Inuit (who historically ate a diet consisting entirely of meat from sea mammals).

If you're interested about diet and how it relates to health, Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes is an amazing book, which is, on the surface, about how dietary fat and carbohydrates affect health, but is really a deep dive into how we ascertain knowledge and how the political process of scientific recommendations gets corrupted by human shortcomings.
My mom works for Mercedes and she's been telling me (She's really tech-y) they really wanna use Blockchain/Smart contracts to help validate someone before they purchase a car. Essentially before you buy a car, you need to verify you have the credit, cash, etc.. whatnot. She says that Diamler/Mercedes think they could make this a lot smoother with smart contracts and what not.
Ha, that's interesting, I'm similar. The best visuallization that's worked for me is imagining a massive hilly vacant landscape at night with a giant grey beach ball that falls from the sky and bounces (slowly due to it's huse mass) around on the hills. Most times I think I only make it 2 bounces before I'm fast asleep.
I manage it deployed on a large WAN. It's not hard.

Okay, it's kind of hard for the network administrator. There's a bit of a learning curve and you'd better understand how IPv6 requires ICMP, and how RA works. But, if you do your job right, end users probably won't notice. Everyone is still gun-shy about IPv6.

> Im also banned from coinbase for asking them to hurry my verification because I needed to buy vitamins.

You don't see how that might be a red flag? What vitamins could possibly be so important that you couldn't wait a little while, and would be unavailable from another source?

Plus, the rudeness of "I'm more important than everyone else in the queue, hurry up" can't have helped.
A hacker can create and modify hardware or software. For the software side, you need to learn to program. For the hardware side, this is not limited to computer. You can learn to grow food, trees. You can learn medecine, health... You can learn to build a house, or green transportation. One advice : Begin with a simple project you can build in less than 6 months.
Fargate uses the same task definition abstraction as Amazon ECS. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/l... So yes, you can launch multiple containers in a single logical unit.
also much more difficult for average person or even gigantic corporation to secure than a physical good e.g. gold. And coins change over time with forks n crap, gold just stays gold.

How would you describe your "own thing"? What does a day look like when you're living off the 80k interest? Be as specific as possible.

I have a lot of experience in this area. (Obsessed about retirement from about age 22, and set a goal for 30. Did it.) This is a very important question to ponder at the beginning. :)

I should probably add why I'm asking this question. I thought all those years I was working my ass off, missing out on so many things in life, and destroying my marriage over this goal that I needed to have the money first THEN realize my dreams. If your dreams are "freedom" and "doing my own thing" you probably don't need $2.2 million to do them today. But I don't know what they are, so that's why I asked. Sure, if your dream is to buy Ferraris and pop expensive champagne every night, you really do need that money.

Mine or more simple: traveling practically full time, getting a farm and building crazy inventions on it, etc. I really didn't need a lot of money to do either of these things. For example there are sites like workaway.info where you can go live and work on a farm, or on a beautiful vineyard in France, or in a cool hotel in the tropics, etc. TODAY.

There are similar resources for travelers.

For anything I could imagine wanting back then, I could've easily achieved by being a little resourceful, creative, and reaching out to those who could help me in exchange for my skills/talents.

Bottom line is, you would be amazed at the life you can live outside the mainstream economy. I think it's one of the best kept secrets in the world.

I don't regret how I did things entirely, but thinking about this very carefully in the beginning would've saved me a whole lot of heartache and distress.

I'm excited for you and wish you the very best.
Total, so divide by four for annualized numbers.
Nice, now I never need to swipe right. Wonder how they'll make money now.
Yes, but that's a huge "if".

First, there are a lot more programmers than there are companies, and programmers are not unionized, so presenting a united front will be difficult if not impossible.

Besides, programmers want all sorts of different things. Plenty of us are happy to work for less pay at startups regardless of the equity situation, and the reasons vary: maybe it's a big step up from their last job, or the location is great, or they like small startup environments more than BigCo, or they didn't get the job at BigCo, or they're trying to build up a specific skillset, etc. It's not at all clear that common vs preferred shares is the hill that most of us would choose to die on.
My wife and two kids and I didn't start getting ahead of our debt until we moved out here.
1. The chart represents the impact in 2018; the situation looks considerably different in 2027, after many provisions of the bill are set to expire.

2. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that under congressional budgetary rules, the tax plan would force deep cuts to Medicare spending over the next decade.

3. Many households most affected by the loss of the state and local tax deduction live in coastal states such as New York, California and Connecticut. Those states have high tax rates; they also tend to vote for Democrats

4. Executives and other top earners would probably get the biggest boost.) And people who own stocks or have other business investments would see a direct benefit from corporate tax cuts

>Those parts of the plan that may or may not (we'll see) end up being massive give-aways to the 1% and wealthier are a whole different topic.

That's the whole point isn't it?

Basically what it comes down to is this: I'd save $1500 on taxes next year. Big whoop. Meanwhile, we'd gut medicare, further increase the national debt while having a president who doesn't seem to understand that you can't just default on it and be fine, corporations would see huge tax reductions and top earners would see most of the benefit, and the "little guy" continues to be fed patronizingly small improvements in their life and society. The entire point of this bill is to hugely benefit the wealthy by giving the less better off tiny improvements to make it palatable

Yeah, I've been loving Bandcamp quite a lot for this. Finally there's a truly dignified way to buy and sell copies of albums. I'm free to reencode, batch modify the tags, add replaygain tags based on EBU R128/ITU-R BS.1770, copy freely to all my devices, stream it anywhere.

It's always sad to me when a band moves off the platform, because generally speaking it means that I will not buy their album at all, except maybe on CD, or if they have a similar website which allows me to get an archive of the whole disc in FLAC.

My friend used to play games on Tabletop Simulator. It's a good way to play with friends who don't live near you, but beyond that it's definitely a worse experience than playing board games in person. I don't have any experience playing with people that aren't friends, so I can't speak to the cheating aspect of it.
In Germany life is also not dominated by the credit agencies like in the US but there is a thing called "Schufa" that does some credit reporting. Not sure how it works though.

I do instrumental exclusively, unless you count weird vocal synths. Maybe the author of this study shouldn't have constrained it to the top 10...

There's a huge world of music out there. The most popular stuff is a tiny little sliver meant to appeal to the greatest number of people. For me, things have only gotten better since discovering a bunch of weird niche stuff in the '00s, especially since Bandcamp and Soundcloud gave indies a place to find an audience without investing in the infrastructure needed for streaming and sales.

Yeah it may be a binary dump, but it's now decrypted and understandable.
Scrum can be sane and in no way mandates 'unrealistically small steps.' To me it sounds like there's a problem in youir team's story/ticket writing. Stories should be manageable by a single developer, and can be broken out with subtasks as needed. (note: I'm in the Agile is Dead camp espoused by Dave Thomas - watch that vid if you haven't). Agile is supposed to enable visibility and transparency and of course agility. That's the essence, really. If you have an overly-religious Agile zealot in your presence, I feel for you; try to talk them away from the dogmatism.
It's speculating to, well, speculate on rapid changes in the near-term price of an asset, regardless of the direction of the speculation.

So if you mean to imply that the rapid inflation will be followed by a rapid contraction, then that's speculating in my eyes.
Wonderful! When I was a kid before the microcomputer age I was a fan of exotic games like Turkish and Japanese chess. I had to make pieces using bread dough clay. Not fun.
But if you get throttled in the first place that means you're going to have some kind of performance degradation since your server was using more than the baseline level. Web apps being IO bound isn't relevant here, because the only requirement for issues to arise is for your server to have consistent 20%+ cpu usage.
I've started buying CDs again for my car. I have bluetooth on my phone but don't want to be distracted by it and I find the built in controls on my player nicer to use. Also I see it as a way to more directly contribute to the artist vs streaming on spotify.
