First, taxpayers do not get direct benefit from most of the things funded by their taxes, only indirect benefits. E.g., you do not get to fly around in a fighter plane even though you partly paid for one, but they will keep you safe. So it does not follow that publicly funded science should automatically be publicly accessible (although personally I believe it should be).

Ridiculous. Unlike giving free rides in F-35s, it doesn't cost anything to let me see the results of a study that my taxes paid for. You have to go out of your way to keep information under wraps.

Second, in practice the number of people that can get direct benefit from reading any single research paper is very small. The vast majority of those people are working in institutions that have access to the journals, and those few that are not, can usually get a copy simply by emailing the author. So making the papers open will have a very limited real, practical impact for the readers.

You never know when that "limited, real practical impact" will make all the difference. All it takes is the right set of eyes in the right place at the right time. Not your call, not mine.
I have not assumed that, we're commenting on a specific sub-problem they mentioned in their post in this thread, yes they made it abundantly clear that it wasn't the only reason.

Between copyright issues on YouTube, getting around that by working with a big partner that would sell their content, and getting donations on Patreon, they never seemed to have considered selling access to high-quality content for a fee without partnering with someone.

I listen to several Podcasts that have something like this as a monetization model, i.e. some sort of paid-for premium content or content exclusively for subscribers.
I’m going through now and watching the ones I missed before, and I think only eight have the double credit. I assume you read that sentence the same way I did, which was the first video only had one credit, but all subsequent videos credited both. But I think he meant the first one only credited him, he just used the same template for a while, and started putting in a double credit near the end.
It's a good thing. Living is a high COL city is a luxury. One shouldn't get a tax break because of their particular luxury purchases.
Hi, I'm founder of https://bitbank.nz I'd love to outsource the marketing, i created a referral program where you can earn .003btc per paying user referred.

But without traffic people don't learn about it.

We have a good conversion rate and good product but without the traffic its meaningless really, advertisers in the bitcoin space seem to accept bitcoin and send fake traffic that never converts into a real user at the rate of other sources (e.g. HN).

Also the way most advertising companies work is they want to see the money upfront, with startups you don't really have it until you get traffic, there's a chicken and egg problem there that makes it hard to get off the ground even when everything seems to be going great.

The advertising companies aren't really bothered about sending you real value just filling the numbers and they aren't aligned 100% with your success, i suppose there are a variety of models that have been tried out already e.g. some companies hire people and offer sales bonuses ect. some offer seo/content marketing ect but again arent incentivized to actually deliver just to take as much of your money as possible... :/

perhaps some kind of paid retweeting service like bitcoin birds (but one that actually works) could work well too. The mainstream advertisers are crazy expensive cpc too.
Because why wouldn't you drop multiple grands on NUCs to encode your DVDs.
Exactly. The minute a cryptocurrency is backed by something, trust in a third party is reintroduced which defeats the whole purpose.
Yes product- though we didn't have project management to speak of. So, both.
I've only had the opportunity to tear down a few consumer drives in the last few years. I haven't seen inside an enterprise-class drive in a few years. (I've stopped dealing with hardware directly for my Customers, and I haven't purchased much hardware for personal use over the last few years.)

I've found scavenged hard drive magnets to be very useful for odd jobs. One served several years holding up the fallen head-liner over the drivers seat in one of my crappier cars.
We have three. If for any reason we have to care for only one for a stretch of time, it's like having no kids. Man, it's so much easier. Three kids is, no joke, like 10x as hard as one.

Each one also makes housing way harder (=more expensive, fewer options), especially after the first one. And transportation. And, and, and.
I'm a huge fan of using UniFi products in the home. I run a UniFi Switch 8 and UniFi UAP-AC-Pro, covering around 2300sqft. The setup cost around $250.
Absolutely. Especially when you have multiple children close in age you might bring the voice of reason to your family, but your kids will learn a lot about jealousy, agression and defiance from their counterparts.
I see this as a move towards providing cheap basic medical care. This is timely now that it's possible that the individual mandate will be repealed. Millions of uninsured people could be treated for rashes or flus by nurses at CVS cheaper and faster than at doctor's offices.

More competition in healthcare could be a good thing--many say it's bloated and overpriced. The risk is that poor people get basic care while rich people get full care, widening health disparities.

It's unclear what the new healthcare economics will look like. Currently, minor procedures are profit centers for doctor's offices and hospitals. They subsidize complicated patients (often elderly with multiple chronic diseases like diabetes or COPD) who are riskier and take more time to treat. If CVS is taking that money, then hospitals may need to do some cost-cutting.
Parent of a two year old. Totally agreed. Nap time and safety issues are when we lose our cool :(
I hope this isn't unusual. I like to think I'm at least OK at software development, but my home network consists of a wifi router that I bought in late 2005 from PC World.
> But the questions can easily trip up children with no lawyers, the attorneys said. A judge may ask, for example, if the child wants to leave the country voluntarily or would rather be ordered deported. If the child chooses either option, he or she cannot apply for other forms of immigration relief such as asylum in the United States.

I'm an adult and I would need a lawyer to be able to understand and answer questions like that.
Some things are better via the gui (web or a windows exe that's wineable), but I prefer ssh access.

I like the fact everything is included, ospf, bgp, pim, mpls/vpls, you name it it's there (aside from decent user management). I used to run bgp at home but moved to ospf recently
I do not understand how, given what has transpired in 2017, anyone can still claim the false equivalency of the GOP and Democrats

Immigration, taxes, healthcare, these are all places where the final results would be massively different with a Democratic majority right now.

Perhaps in the 90s it was less different. But now there's such a clear difference.

Sure Democrats aren't asking for full blown socialism. But they're asking for stuff thats way different than what the GOP is pushing for.
I live in the Netherlands, have 4 kids. I don't see what you see.

> Okay, so once we have started, the most important thing to know is: This does not in any way change how Hg handles files in memory. [...] Hg has to take the file and consume many times more memory during the commit then the size of the file, to try to figure out what the differences are.

This isn't true. Largefiles aren't stored as deltas, but as complete blobs. Mercurial still reads them in their entirety, so it still uses a lot of memory, but it's not diffing.

> The next problem is everyone collaborating on the project would have to take a huge Pull with the new large files, for every version of the large file they don't yet have [...] if you want to go back to a revision you haven’t pulled yet and the Server is not up you’re out of luck. That means you should get all the commits at some point anyway (because you want all the code versions at your side), so what’s the point?

Largefiles's mechanism doesn't require that you download every version of every large file. That's a key part of its design. If you decide that as a matter of policy that you want to download them all anyway, then no, largefiles won't help much.

> Well, they handle files by placing them outside the repo, and storing only the hash of the file in the repo itself (all bigfile hashes inside one file). This has an unfortunate effect that you won't be able to tell which exact bigfile/largefile has actually been modified when looking in the history – the only thing you'd see in the repo is the cumulative file that holds the hashes of all bigfiles as having a change.

This isn't true either. Largefiles stores the hashes in separate files, and the history machinery is able to interpret the records properly.

I've written a little script to demonstrate the structure of a largefiles repository:

https://bitbucket.org/snippets/twic/7eeAxy

One thing that would be really useful that largefiles doesn't (that i know of) do would be to opt out of downloading some largefiles at all. If i'm checking out an old revision just to read some old code, i don't want to spend ages pulling largefiles that i'm not going to look at. You can do this with Facebook's remotefilelog extension, which lets you make shallow clones, which can omit the large files, but it's awkward:

Well in all fairness the deal with Yahoo kind of went side wise. But yeah I would agree its probably around equal.

As for the source, I can't seem to find a source for this. I may have been mistaken, but it was something I heard several years ago on a google related podcast.
Completely agreed. House prices/rent and high child care costs are what have done our generation in. What salary do you need in Mountain View to afford a house? 400K?? It is nuts!
Okay, putting aside the legality (although in Australia there's some provisions for "format shifting"), are you really happy with the "backup" quality provided by most scene groups?

I find I can do a better job (at least to my eyes) than most 4.7/8GB movie rips, and the standards for x265 aren't set yet.

Ripping your own media gives you a lot more flexibility.
If you're a Java developer, JavaOne is excellent.
Yeah, every time I see one of the modern ones with syncing and mechanical keyboards and whatnot I'm super interested, then I see the price tag and forget about it. I think I'll just go with a Dana or Neo or Neo 2. (Still not sure if there's any reason to go for the Neo 2 over the Neo.)
I'm not surprised, but eliminating those costs isn't as simple as eliminating diabetes. If diabetes is cured tomorrow, those costs don't just disappear, they get remapped to whatever other health complications and end-of-life events those people run into instead of diabetes. Then it gets complicated even further when you compare the impact to working years vs retiree years, and the resulting default rates and bankruptcies.

Diabetes can represent a massive chunk of healthcare spending, and also be an inexpensive patient outcome relative to many alternatives. Both can be true at the same time.

I suspect that we are strongly influenced by how we were raised ourselves, and possibly even by genetics. The deluge of parenting advice may give a false impression of how much control we actually have.
You can use alternate Apple app stores, and the fact that limited access and curation of available apps does not in fact weaken security but enhances it is self-evident by comparing the Apple app store with the cesspool that is the Play store and sideloaded apps. You can disagree with the policy all you want, but trying to argue that it has not improved user security just makes you look deluded.
You need to be able to pay from a US credit card in order to buy anything from the US store. Which is out of the reach of ordinary Chinese. I often help my Vietnamese friends buy apps from the US app store for the same reason.
Google's Data Loss Prevention is provided on G Suite and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Both products use the same unified classifier codebase. G Suite DLP allows admins to enforce policy on Gmail and Drive files. On GCP, the Data Loss Prevention API allows developers to classify and redact sensitive data in virtually any data source in real-time or at-rest (e.g. Google Cloud Storage, BigQuery, AWS Redshift, AWS S3, Salesforce, Slack, on-prem, custom apps, etc.).

DLP API scans are not limited to 20MB and can scale up to virtually any size. API results can be used for programmatic automation of alerts, IAM/ACL settings, or other remediation and can be sent automatically into BigQuery for detailed analysis or reporting. In addition to classification, Google’s DLP API provides data masking tools for structured and unstructured data including format-preserving encryption, bucketing, and tokenization. This helps developers reduce unnecessary PII when collecting, storing, or sharing data.

(Note: I am the Product Manager for DLP API at Google Cloud)
Can you identify any tangible negative effects on consumers which arose due to the purchase of NBC by Comcast?
I think that’s an interesting cross section. I’ll talk to you. Email in profile.
Well, the first is false and the idea of removing all restrictions was not under suggestion, so I don't see how this is relevant?
Yes! With eInk!
I Pay 79$ for uncapped gigabit fiber. I can understand why they wouldn’t want to pay such a premium.
It has zero effect on security if you leave the switch to enable it off. If you want to stay in Apple's walled garden it's a no-op.
I did the same and have the exact sentiments about the APU2+OpenBSD.
Very interesting move. Curious to see if they find investors they couldn’t reach through traditional financial institutions.

Asking about home labs/home networking runs the risk of being a very discriminatory question if you take the negative as a mark against the question. I highly recommend not asking about it.

Particularly, it is discriminatory in that it penalizes people based on their home situation, both from a time and financial perspective. People with children, especially single parents, are often not in positions to actively maintain a home lab or complex home network, due to time constraints.

Others just might not have the inclination, and it doesn't say anything at all about their ability to perform the job.

Even if you're not going to take the lack of a home lab as a negative, it can throw a candidate off - candidates are very conditioned to feel that a hard no to an interview questions is going to be taken as a mark against them, and this is going to effect their ability to answer other questions as effectively.

A much better question is to ask how someone approaches learning new technologies or keeping up with the changes in technology in general. For some people that will be work related, for some it will be home labs, and is an important skill regardless of how much time you have available. People with home labs will almost universally talk about it, and you can get the same discussion with them, without risking discriminating against people that have to keep their skills sharp through other methods. It's also more likely to be directly relevant to the skills related to the job, rather than random projects that might be tech related but not relevant to the position being interviewed for.
the problem is even with how crappy iOS11 is Android phones suck more. I wish there was an better alternative.

Apple still won't let us change the default browser from Safari to Chrome/Firefox for links clicked in Mail or iMessage. Its very annoying.
>But didn't it? If you go to any fancy estate you'll see quite a lot of Asian art. Most of it probably produced in/from/inspired by China.

Which is irrelevant to explain "the rise of “Made in China” goods" as this "Asian art", whether "produced in/from/inspired by China" or not, is 1/1,000,000th of the Made in China goods people buy (which today includes everything, from cars and iPhones to consumer electronics and Armanis).

China doesn't dominate global manufacturing / production because people liked Chinese art, but because they built the infrastructure, support systems, expertise, and hands to produce whatever much more common products.
I've been designing websites since 97 and it's amazing how hard it is to make things look so simple. Great write up and inspiration for clean design.
>> The data are clear that humans are really bad at taking the time to do
things that are well understood to incontrovertibly reduce the risk of rare
but catastrophic events.

The big problem with the "normalisation of deviance" is that humans are both
very smart and also get bored, or irriated, very easily. The example of the
anesthesiologist who turned off the anoxia warning is indicative.

But if that's how humans work, then that's something that needs to be taken
into account when designing, essentially, security systems. We can't ignore
the propensity of people to look for shortcuts to repetitive or boring tasks
any more than we can ignore the fact that we tend to have our hands at the top
of our body, or that we can't withstand extremes of temperature.

We wouldn't design a machine that had all its controls placed near the ground,
too low to be manipulated easily by the average human; we wouldn't send
unprotected humans to work in environments where temperatures could reach 1000
°C. Why would we give people tasks that would bore them to death or make them
so mad that they would risk harm to themselves or others to avoid performing
them?

The (IAEA) [1] has a bunch of papers on radiological accidents on its website and
they are full of situations where people have literally hacked through
security measures to stop them from blasting themselves with lethal doses of
radiation- and fried themselves to death as a result.

For instance, see [2], [3] and [4]. These are three cases, one in El Salvador,
one in Israel and one in Belarus, where an experienced operator of an
irradiation facility overrode security mechanisms to enter the irradiation
chamber and unblock a mechanism transporting packages over a radioactive
source [5]. In [3], the chamber was designed like a D&D dungeon, complete with
a concrete maze to absorb radiation, and actual traps: motion and pressure
sensors that, when triggered, would immediately place the source at a safe
position inside a dry pit and even a retractable section of floor near the
maze entrance that created a pit too long to be jumped over. They never found
out exactly how the operator crossed that pit. But- he did and paid for his
ingenuity with his life.

We are smart little monkeys, we get bored easily and we always find a way to
cause untold carnage. Those are factors that no design can ever afford to
ignore.

I suspect they want to repay offshore holders of their current bonds with this magic money.
Yeah it's pretty impressive to have all of those protocols included in such "low cost" routers (less than a hundred dollars).

Why do you need bgp/ospf for your home network? Are you just experimenting?

I used to manage the network of my school campus, we connected about 1000 persons, and ospf was working great! We didn't use mikrotik though, we used extremenetworks routers
Substantial? I doubt it. While Apple does a lot of retail volume, the big money-makers like the iPhone can be drop-shipped from anywhere in the EU. There are 20 Apple stores in France, but millions of iPhones there; I doubt more than 20% of French iPhone users purchased at an Apple store, and probably closer to 5%.
Thank you, the top comment and all its follow-up seem to think it's a good thing and may lower cost. It's hard for me to imagine this being anything less than a way to make more money with the combined companies.
On the one hand, AWS Macie only scans S3. Google DLP API works on S3, Gmail, Drive, GCS, DynamoDB, Redshift, BigQuery, Slack, SQL, Oracle, Oracle RAC, Zendesk, Twilio, Salesforce, and everything you can point an API at. If you want to use the same engine to test all your repos then Google DLP API is the right solution for you.

On the other hand, Macie has a GUI wizard. DLP API is an API. So if you can't code and just want to scan S3 then Macie might be for you, until Google DLP builds a GUI, if there's demand for that.

Someone should do a comparison of how successful each engine is at picking up sensitive data. I suspect Google DLP will be tuned better, but someone should do the test on a dummy data set and release results. That would be the most interesting comparison.

I work for Google.
Added an enhancement request, issue 1064[1], to github, asking for the clients to support longer audio clips.

I can't promise when we'll get to it, as from now until new year is a bit of a wash.

I don't know of any detailed comparisons of commercial solutions. However, with respect to pure word error rate, the article[2] does a comparison of several engines as of circa 2015.
