I don't do the meditation exactly, but I recently trekked to Mt Everest base camp and stayed in Nepal for few days. I get mentally overwhelmed with the natural beauty and that sort of creates effect similar to meditation.

After coming back, I feel much calmer. Very few negative thoughts occur in my mind and I noticed that I don't get worked up that easily. I somehow learned to not get angry at the slightest provocation.

Not sure if this helps you, but thought I would put it out there.
>the only measurable qualities of software the author cited were "coupling" and "cohesion". [...] Physics is based on measurable values

You've misinterpreted the author's message and didn't realize he actually agrees with you.

He wrote, "However, a property in physics [...] precise stimulus [...]" to contrast that "coupling" and "cohesion" is not measurable using our current mental models for discussing software.

His 2nd paragraph explains the the flaw in his 1st paragraph just like your 2nd paragraph did to your 1st paragraph.
I have seen plenty of times that people who thought they were the tough negotiators turned out to be on the low range of pay when we discussed salaries. Information is always good.

They now have out of the box some features they maintained themselves, and have a more stable and maintainable stack.
I'd also like to point out that the later people went to school, the more they paid. On average, at least. The burden that debt brings is becoming more and more as time marches on and we don't fix this problem.
Are there not thermostats on the market that let you program schedules? If you do want something a bit more connected, thermostats in the Lyric line from Honeywell[1] can give you things like scheduling and geofencing (e.g. "oh, you're on the way home, let me start cooling...") Of course, a geofence isn't going to function if you're offline, but the thing should definitely remember a time schedule to use as a backup when connectivity is lost.

Agree that until Amazon behaves should remove from search. Also remove from play store. Amazon has now pulled Twitch from the Roku and their anti competitive behavior needs to be checked. Enough is enough.
Pretty sure that's their customer support team.
To adress your aside:
If twitter uses EV somewhere end non-EV elsewhere (depending on geolocation) then I'd wager they do it to comply minimally to the juridistiction in which they serve requests, that is: minimise legal exposure by foregoing EV-certs where this is legally tenable.

ps: I'm getting some downvotes for my view on this, but little in the way of arguments. I'm happy to be corrected. Am I coming off as an asshat on this?
Your quote says she regretted going into business with him within 25 minutes of signing the contract. Not that she knew of his behavior within 25 minutes of meeting him.

Those are two entirely different things and if you want to avoid criticism you would do well to maintain consistency across your posts.

Hi timmonsjg, the welcome page has 2 main purposes:

1. you see posts on your homepage feed of composers you followed (of course you can see all other posts without leacving the feed but only posts related to your followed composers are loaded by default)

2. Get work recommendations based on your followed composers and starred works.

Actually, it's not "just" a talking point. Your counter examples are trite and pointless because silver cars, food, and water are all completely essential to daily life.

Also, there isn't a National Silver Car Association that is influencing Congress to block research into silver car related deaths.
The current nominal trajectory is on pages 6/7 of the first PDF I linked. It appears to be making ~40 near overpasses of the moon in the prime mission, some within 25-50 km of the surface (red lines), which is really quite remarkable considering the distance from Earth, light-time delays, and complexity of the Jovian system.

I would conjecture that our gravimetric/orbital model of the Jovian system will be updated during initial orbits so that planning for the overpasses will be refined after arrival.

There has been discussion of putting a (hard) lander on the spacecraft, to drop into one of the plumes. Last I heard, there was Congressional interest in the idea, but for technical reasons, AFAIK, it is out-of-scope for Europa Clipper. I think it's in study for a successor mission.

It's generally better to not try to do everything with one mission, but to plan a campaign with various contingencies.

These FUD articles were posted in September. (Was fixed over a month before they even released this FUD).

In April next year we will have the CT requirement for all certificates so EV will lose an edge there.

For the pinning in a mobile app, would you still depend on the PKI or not just pin against your own private CA/certificates?
From my personal experience: crop and greenhouse monitoring. There is an interest in having more data, from off-grid sensors across a wider area.
Probably that software grows to fill the available cycles and memory in the computer.

Or

It is often easier to add code than refactor code.

Refactoring is a way to fight against the entropy of software code growth. But it is a deliberate activity and rarely happens by happenstance. Outside of languages like Forth where factoring is a way of life, and disciplined environments like what I read about in Smalltalk shops, entropy is the order of the day.

I got the impression this customer did not trust our SSL because all Dutch banks use EV, and she was going to do a 'bank transaction'.

Specifically iDeal, which is implemented by the banks. But our checkout proces was one step before this.

So maybe it is a network effect within financials?
The "polls" did not predict the electoral college, they ask people how they are going to vote and how likely the are to vote i.e. the popular vote. Other predictions are a seperate step done afterwards using the polls as input, generally not by polling companies. And at least one such prediction by 538 had it as a 1/3 chance of Trump winning, which considering how narrow the eventual gap was, is a pretty darn accurate prediction.

A couple of other people did say 99%, but they were clearly wrong even before the result came in and were called out by, for example, 538.

YouTube does use EME for paid content.

Also you have to use a native app for Netflix and if they wanted to, they could also stop supporting Amazon devices at any time. There wouldn't even be a work-around thanks to EME.
I don't think the ReactOS people are trying to do Windows versions like Russian nesting dolls. They try to aim to fully support the older version, but while they're trying to fill all the nooks and crannies of them, quite often you'll find yourself adding some new API from a more recent version, if that's all you need to support a specific kind of application.

I'd naively assume that finishing the undocumented API calls of the last century is a much more time-consuming task than adding what little came after 2003...

The difference between consistent and non-consistent revenue becomes a lot less extreme if you keep a healthy amount in a highly liquid bank or (preferably) credit union account. 3 months annual expenses at least (as a goal). Or, if you projects are REALLY chunky and few and far between, then more like 6 months or a year.
That's not really realistic though. How could I convince someone to pay me $250k in Minneapolis when the market is supporting 115-150k?

> Data size is another reason. If I want to categorize 50GB of images using a 300MB model it makes a lot more sense to download the model than upload the data.

The faster the network is the more reasons you have to upload your data. The time to process an image in the cloud is going to be virtually 0 with small latency as the resources in the cloud are huge compared with what you can have at home.
Blanket denial, and character attacks on the accuser, has been the status quo for eternity. Bill Clinton, Clarence Thomas, ...

This has recently started to change, because people recognize how unbelievable it is, and because accusers can have larger voices in today's media environment.

Roy Moore is using the old playbook. If it succeeds, in the face of all evidence, it will be a very bad thing.

For example, Jesus Christ would be a good example of a religious left. He advocated taxes, social programs for the poor, and the moral ill of wealth. His view was less populist because he felt that this change should happen by those with power and money, but still very left even by modern standards. If Jesus' economic philosophy was made law, it would probably be the most socialist society in the world.

I was going to say something about partisanship, but Republicans are also less likely to believe allegations in general - even say the one against Conyers, 39% of dems believe it vs 32% of republicans. I don't think it's to do with the denial though - trump did initially admit to his, and 34% of republicans believe in his allegations vs 30% for moore.

I agree, but only if everyone is motivated to be an active participant - looking back on my own high school days, the kids who had trouble mostly had no incentive to be there.

It's probably utopian, but I still think a lot of problems could be solved by paying kids for marks. There are lots of arguments made about intrinsic motivation to learn being enough, but learning is also difficult and uncomfortable. Some extrinsic motivation to develop a functional learning style might be exactly what those currently underachieving are missing.
Yeah, kind of. High quality software though, recommended for many things :)
Why Tesla Could Merge with SpaceX
Both the Russians and Chinese had big civil wars in which the governments you mention eventually came into power. The question of armed resistance isn’t a hypothetical. It was tried and it failed.

This has nothing to do with my point, or if it does, it certainly isn't clearly elucidated. As far as I'm aware, there is no strong history of armed resistance from either of the groups that I mentioned. And I'll leave you to the research the history of successful resistance movements, as there are many. I would start with the American Revolutionary War and then perhaps the importance of guns and armed resistance by blacks during Antebellum South and the Jim Crow period.

The notion of gun rights as essential to defending against tyranny is inherently self-defeating. If all it takes to defeat gun owners is passing some laws making them illegal, won’t a tyrant do that before they start with other forms of oppression?

Your argument is circular as it's based on a false premise. Yes, they may very well begin with outlawing guns. Which is why we have guns. If you try to take my gun by force, I will shoot you.

If all it takes to defeat gun owners is passing some laws making them illegal

This isn't what it takes. This would be the first formal step, but what it would take is for the State to pry them out of my hands, which would be met with resistance. Not just by me, but by the millions of gun-owners across the country - which is precisely why it won't happen.
Spideroak disagrees.
This is such a fascinating (and disturbing) situation. And quite mysterious. High frequency ultrasound is used routinely in medicine and has never been shown to change brain tissue. Infrasound has some effect on tissue but its probably overstated. (the infamous 'brown note' [1]. Other sonic weapons rely on volume/amplitude. None of this seems to be the case here.

Another really interesting point is the description of the hyper localized nature of the sound -- present in one part of the room and not another. Its really hard to localize a sound signal, as anyone who has worked with parabolic speakers can attest. Yes, there can be focal points, but the sound definitely drifts out to the surrounding areas to a significant degree.
One example of hyperlocalized sound perception is Lamont Young's 'Dream House' installation in NYC [2] Although not captured in video documentation, there are distinct and significant microtonal shifts that are easily perceptible as you move through the space caused by standing waves produced through the interaction of the tone generators and the architecture. But this happens within the context of a loud drone that fills the whole room. Not at all what is described by the diplomats and family members.

I hope they can get to the bottom of this and I hope that more information is made public.

There's more to it than just he-said-she-said. For example, there's the fact that he had admitted relationships to some of the (older) accusers. And now he has just been issuing blanket denials. Which recently caused one of the accusers to come up with even more evidence:

I think this is the answer, if management is based in high-cost area, then the formula will include a bias for them.

I don't think it's bad, it would be bad if they didn't have a better salary because of their location.

Does that mean they will hire people from the bay? No it doesn't mean that either. The formula could actually force them to hire people from cheaper places.
How did you in the US ever manage to get cable TV everywhere?
I don't agree with this sentiment. There's something to be said for competition, closeness to hustle and bustle of an industry, and the sheer learning-by-osmosis that happens in an area densely populated by a certain industry. As much as I think that senior devs are needed in the industry (I've been in startups without the proper amount of them and it's terrible), there is a lot to be said for the benefits of being a young developer embedded in an industry hotspot.

I've never lived in SV, nor do I want to -- there are areas of the US that pay SV prices with lower cost of living and progressive citizenship/policies, which I'd rather not name since then whoever's reading this would move there -- but the assumption that a "senior" dev in a low cost area is more valuable than a "beginner" dev in a high-cost area like the valley rests on a bunch of things that often are untrue/shaky at best.

- How do you even determine senior vs. beginner? Years of experience? Successful projects? Breadth of technology knowledge? depth of technology knowledge? interaction/propensity to share knowledge with team members?

- What has this senior dev in low-cost area been exposed to? What about the junior developer? If I asked them to solve a problem, which can imagine the widest breadth of possibilities? which can imagine the most stable/future-proof possibilities? This can come down to the person almost as much as the years of experience.

- What frameworks/tools/language are you talking about? (this seems like it may not matter, but if you're measuring contributions to a codebase, a developer with 1-2 years of experience in purely golang is going to be better/likely faster at grunt work maintaining an API in golang where the design choices have mostly already been made). Higher level refactorings and architectural work will likely be out of their reach for months/years to come as they mature, but if what you really needed was someone to put out fires with code that isn't terrible, 1-2 years will often suffice. It wouldn't take the senior engineer very long at all to learn the new language but they'll also have to spend some time unlearning old habits -- of course they'll also be bringing good habits that you may not already have as well, but happily dealing with grunt work and over-working yourself because you're "super psyched" is usually not something senior engineers will do -- newcomers/greenhorn often do this, however.

Yes, but I assume the SF scale is indexed to that annually (ie: the bay SF pay will go up itself probably more than 3% anyway).

If Facebook really supported Net Neutrality, it would do the same i.e. block the service for to the ISPs that create tiered internet.

Given Facebook is responsible for creating tiered internet (Facebook only mobile phones in South Asian countries), you can imagine how they are going to react to changed rules.

Question is would Google and Netflix and others including Amazon, team up to deny services to the first ISP that offers tiered internet in the USA.

Given how YouTube/Echo/Chromecast is playing out, Google and Amazon may simply choose to use ISP last-mile fast-lanes in the wars against one another than stand with the end users to enforce NN. If you look at market caps of Amazon and Google vs. Comcast/Charter you can see what they would consider as threat (Google vs Amazon) and what as just pieces on the chessboard (ISPs).

Salaries don't reflect the worth you're providing to the company (unless you're part of a worker-owned collective that disperses annual profit). Salaries are the lowest amount the company thinks it can pay you. If they had a higher budget and you failed to negotiate effectively for a higher salary, then I feel it is not the company's fault if you think they should have offered more.

Vote with your feet. If you think you would be paid more in SF, what is stopping you from packing up and moving? That's what's lowering your salary.

It's not about whether or not you want to have it. It's about monetizing you. These features could be included in products without your knowledge and could communicate with other surveillance devices (Echo, Smart TV, Google Home, etc.) to relay to advertisers and product vendors information about your use of the product. This in turn could be used to sell hyper-targeted ads such as ads for detergent that are timed precisely for when you are low on detergent.

Your attention is one of the most valuable products in the world. Sub-dividing and parceling off that attention in as fine-grained a manner possible is extremely profitable.

I'm really concerned about this. It's not ads I'm worried about but the long term potential for truly unethical misuse of this technology. Combined with AI this stuff could be used to build psychological models on every human. The potential for misuse by everyone from governments to criminals is just insane.

We are building the infrastructure for a hellish dystopia just to get people to click ads.

There is a lot of typical HN negative analysis in this discussion. Let's step back and applaud the fact that this is open. Who else does that? People don't do it because they are afraid of this type of negative analysis. This is a very cool comparison for those who don't have concrete numbers to take into HR. Thanks for sharing Buffer!
