I relocated from California to the Minneapolis. While my situation isn't exactly the same, I think it still applies:

- Don't focus on what things you love that aren't present in your new location. Rather focus on what your new location has to offer and find new things you love.

- Establish your routines ASAP. If that means finding a gym, trails to run / bike, meetups, etc. The busier you are, especially building a new life, the better off you'll be.

- Meet people at work. As the new person, others oftentimes make invitations / gestures. Come to my house for dinner, let's grab lunch, etc. Take them up on those offers. Nothing makes you feel more at home than having friends, or less at home than not having them.

- It's not just you. Your girlfriend needs to feel like she's building a new home. Encourage her to do the aforementioned things too; as well as try to make invitations to dinner / activities opportunities for your gf connect as well.
> There's a claim (according to wikipedia and other sources) that Flappy Bird was a clone of another game (called "Piou Piou vs Cactus").

Haven't read the Wiki page, or heard of Piou Piou, but I always thought FB was a rip off of Copter, a game for Nokia style phones where you pressed 5 (IIRC) to keep it airborne.

Maybe "original" Flappy was great and I just played crappy Flappy clones, but dying literally within seconds over and over again didn't make me want to continue, I was just instantly bored, stopped playing and forgot it. I don't understand the craze for such a horrible game.

Copter was good though.
We are talking about ER rooms here: people who need ER services are not in a position to do any sort of shopping around. When seconds count you cannot afford the minutes needed to get to the next ER. In theory it is possible that one is significantly better and so it would be worth the time, but in practice all the ERs in any given area are going to be not very different in ability to provide care. Even if the closer ER transfers you to the other getting to the first in time started care sooner.
There are other ways to travel than by car, you can walk for example. Trains, light rails, bikes and electric cars don’t use gasoline and are options, if you make sacrifices.

There’s no alternative sacrifices you can make to solve your cancer problem, though; you need a doctor and the right treatment.

Gasoline is also a very bad example. They get loads of tax breaks from local, state and federal governments because they are too big to fail in terms of jobs, revenue and utility. They also get a lot of help when they have to clean up tgeir mess. That’s what I would call subsidy.
You sound like a decent person. Perhaps they left because of you?
I haven't gone through SF yet, but I believe TDDwI and SF have very different goals. TDDwI is about hands-on development with a particular language, whereas SF uses Coq to investigate and formally verify broad theoretical topics, right?

TDDwI is also my pick for the year. It's really well done.

It's old and boring and sensible. You need a SPA if you're building something like Google Maps, but most products just don't need it. It introduces so much overhead and so many new problems that just don't exist in a server rendered approach.

I applaud this approach and would love to have an opportunity to one day work at a company that values reliable and sensible approach to building software instead of just following the latest fashion.

As Mikey Dickerson said; what we need is basic, well-known technology, applied correctly.
Some of it is insured (but unclear whether that includes cold or just hot funds).

My real question is how the insurance is denominated. Does it pay out in dollars or bitcoins? Did their insurance premium just go up 10x?
You are right about Chollet not ruling out growth altogether, but he does say - as a section heading, no less - that "our environment puts a hard limit on our individual intelligence." After a diversion into a non-sequitur about individual humans being incapable of bootstrapping their own intelligence, he launches into an extended argument that intelligence can only grow with the culture it is embedded in, and so intelligence can only grow linearly at best (linearly in what? culture?) The whole argument is a waste of time, because AI apocalypse fears are not predicated on exponential growth (and certainly not growth without limit), but only that it outstrips that of humans (and maybe not even that.) Chollet never seems to address the possibility that AGI might drive its own culture to grow, just as our ancestors' developing intelligence drove the (proto-)human culture to grow. (If Collet were to deny that this happened, then he would not be able to explain why human intelligence outstrips that of other apes, given his position that culture constrains intelligence.)
I transferred my BTC to Coinbase a few years ago (because I didn't trust myself to keep my wallet safe), and this is the first time I have heard of this. To be fair my account isn't set up for withdrawal (no bank account connected), so you might be notified about this there.
Ripping out v2 signatures makes the APK invalid on Android 7.0 and newer. This is because the v1 signature contains a special header X-Android-APK-Signed in its META-INF/*.SF files. When Android 7.0 or newer encounters this header without having encountered a valid v2 signature, it rejects the APK.

Installing a v1-only signed update to an APK which is v2 signed is permitted. However, the update has to be the same versionCode or higher to be accepted, meaning it can't be a downgrade in terms of versionCode. Thus, as long as you don't produce updates/upgrades which are v1-only signed, you should be protected against this vulnerability on Android 7.0 and newer.
> This is no different than when a bank is robbed and banknotes are stolen. The bank might have written down the numbers of the banknotes and those can be published. But most shops won't check those when somebody buys something.

Well it's quite a bit different because everyone has access to the ledger where you can see what "bills" were stolen and can automatically prevent them from being used.

I think the relevant parts of this article are the sales parts. "You can't just sign up for their mailing list" = "you can't just apply for jobs and expect a response.

From this comment I assume you've put your resume in a giant pile 40 times. Unfortunately that's probably not going to get you the job you'd really want but you probably know this already (apologies in advance).

In general, I'd always recommend engaging with potential employers at MeetUps, email / Twitter saying you like their business and want to put your skills to use, etc - something that differentiates you from the normal "applicant." You don't need to ask them for a job - just ask them for an informational interview / discussion and if you can help. If so, they'll refer you and you'll have at minimum an inside track to the application process. If not, you're still better off than you were before.

I agree they should solve the problem. It's pretty embarrassing.

Do you think it might be reasonable that they do both? The time to publish a blog post is probably about 4 employee-hours, including management review. Getting more servers, provisioning them, adding them to pools, rebalancing, and deploying code takes more time and engineers.
40+ applications?

How about picking the top 5 that you are the best culture fit for and most excited about. After that, create well written 100% custom cover letters and relevant resume. You will get a 100% response, this has worked for me in the past and is a win/win for you and the employer.

In the long run it takes about the same amount of time. Now wear the employers hat...which one are you more likely to read and then engage with?

One suggestion: there are several fantastic medical cost sharing plans that end up being exponentially cheaper than traditional insurance. We use Samaritan Ministries and have had nothing but great experiences. Full coverage for most needs, no network restrictions, etc, all for $500/month for our family of four. Samaritan is a religious org, but there are others that are not, https://www.libertyhealthshare.org being the most notable.

I ended up buying used HP Elite x3 (Win10 Mobile) because of that. Even though MS dropped feature updates for Win10 Mobile, they promised security updates until 2020 if I'm not mistaken.
Gasoline is only inelastic compared to consumer goods. It's quite elastic compared to emergency medical care. The alternative to buying gas is to take a staycation or carpool to work. The alternative to treating emergencies is likely death.
Worked at Oracle for years, the sales cowboys of IT for better or worse.

Sales has improved a lot. A lot of the younger people coming in are much more moral than previous generations.

A lot of sales has moved to inside sales as opposed to field sales. Not quite as fun sometimes, but easier on people’s families and schedules, less abuse of expense accounts, going to strip clubs, etc. Also so much of what inside sales does is recorded, there is the possibility of much more accountability (e.g. harder to lie to customers).

Sales has improved a lot, but I think we’ve traded that for declines in the morals and increases in the absurdity of marketing. Everything from false claims / fake news to serious privacy concerns.
> Your prescription creates situations in which it is literally impossible to drive safely

That is ridiculous. If the vehicle in front of you is traveling 75mph and you want to travel 80mph, it is not impossible for you to drive safely. If the vehicle in front of you seems especially dangerous to be behind, it is still not impossible to drive safely.

I recently got run out of my lane by a semi who swerved in from the left right on top of me in the far right lane. The semi then kept swerving from the right shoulder to the left shoulder erratically. The driver was obviously extremely impaired and re-passing was risky. But it did not make it impossible for me to drive safely.

I drive a two-lane highway everyday that has no reasonable alternate route. The posted speed limit is 55mph. It has double yellow lines along much of its length. I frequently get stuck behind somebody poking along at 45mph or slower. I fully understand how frustrating it is. But that doesn't mean I can't drive safely.

Turbolinks just "works" so easily out of the box - for most use cases of persisting header / footer / etc between pages your users will think it's a "true" SPA. Even comes with the customizable css loading indicator now to re-enforce that feeling of speed.

Exactly.

> its asset backed

Not really. Google's assets minus its liabilities are $139 billion. The value of its stock is $724 billion.

So 81% of the company's value isn't "backed" by anything -- not the company's assets, not the promise to pay dividends in the future, nothing.

Lately I've read blogpost about DAO posted on HN written by author. I also have read handful of his blogposts like rant on MVC not beeing OOP. Author simplified SOLID in a way that it looks like he is not correct in post about SOLID. Like he tries to bash Bob Martin and Martin Fowler to look cool. Strikes me as not really practical. Maybe even that he only tries to look like he knows what he is writing about.
This article brings up a common theme, people don't want to work 40 hour weeks. I see nothing wrong with that sentiment, but I also don't see any wrong with a 40 or 60 hour work week.

Every person on this planet needs to decide how they want to spend their time and the quality of life they want to have. If you want to work fewer hours you will have less money. It's pretty simple.

If you want to do that good for you.
Yep! Also will you email me? We're working on some stuff I'd like to run by you. :D
I have had about 10 jobs in my life. About half of them were specific to my career. I have found that I am happier building things that the author might consider "bullshit" (relative to my interests) compared to working on things that I am passionate about. When I have a job doing what I "love", someone inevitably takes a steaming shit on the thing I created and forces me to break it in some stupid way. I would rather do the things I love on my own time so that I don't have to compromise my work to keep food on the table.
The Titan is a blower-style card. Open-air coolers, on the other hand, do result in higher ambient case temperatures but typically keep the graphics card itself cooler blower-style (at lower fan speeds, therefore more quietly as well).

Bottom line is there are lots of factors, most significantly case design and cooling strategies for other components.

Kind of ignores the fact that socialism did take root, like Eugene Debs running for president, but it was violently uprooted and the ground was torched and salted and a massive state apparatus was developed to make sure it could never be entertained again.

With bitcoins, it is easier to track the notes, but it is also easier to get rid of the association if you find someone willing to clean them for you.

Say I steal 10 bitcoins from you. I go to someone who cleans bitcoins for a cost of 10%. I send them 10 bitcoins, and they send 1 bitcoin to 9 different wallets (keeping the 10th as payment). That alone would allow you to still track it. But now add in thousands of other people sending them bitcoins on the same day, and some random pauses as to when they send the bitcoins to other wallets, and you are no longer able to tell which bitcoins in are associated with which bitcoins out.

Now, do you just get businesses to stop doing business with anyone (any wallet) that has ever received bit coins from the mixer? And there are many mixers out there.

And this is still simplified. You can be governments are monitoring and running statistical analysis on those mixers to try to find people laundering bitcoins associated with especially bad things. I'd even guess some of the bitcoin laundering operations are ran by governments in an attempt to better track the flow of bitcoins.

If you go to urgent care you are seen in order of arrival. In the ER you are seen based on need. This results in very different care experiences. Also you should expect that urgent care is more familiar with the types of things people should go to urgent care for - while the ER can deal with them they may take longer.

The kid with the simple ear infection will wait longer in the ER. (Note that I added simple: if the ear infection is complex the ER may see the kid sooner, but those are cases where when Urgent care finally gets to the kid they transfer to the nearest ER)

It's a perfect candidate for a socialized program. We all pay a tax to guarantee that ERs are available and equipped for everyone at a moment's notice.
We already do something like that, marking up the user information with geoip information when we first see them, but we just get a lot of unique users. (Yes, we could do batch lookups, but that would be a complete rewrite of our workflow.)

I found Maxmind integration to be pretty straight-forward. They have APIs for most popular languages and most of the time, usage amounts to instantiating a reader object with the path to the database, then calling methods on that object with the IP in question. So, db.city(ip) returns all of the city information, etc.

Massive is a relative term I guess. But the databases are segmented, so you only take what you need and all the ones I've worked with have been tens of megabytes in size.

It matters specifically in the case of making legal arguments.

I'm not saying the board was right, but please see it from their perspective. A certified traffic engineer would also use the term "engineer" in his findings. The latter's analysis would be given much more weight, be trusted more, simply because that's what certification is meant for. We've created titles and institutions for a purpose, so that Average Joe Board Member doesn't need to go into the details of a technical analysis, but can trust the outcome proposed/suggested.

Does LE support listing an IP address in a certificate instead of domain names?
Thanks, I'm not in finance but it seems obvious in retrospect that not being able to rely on things being eventually consistent is a bottle neck. Before thinking about this, the number of users that people threw around when talking about BTC exchanges seemed very small.

I wish I could upvote you twice to help with the other downvotes. I know of at least 3 cases so far where folks walk into ER and lie about who they are when they leave. All of the cases are because of no health insurance, but they aren't hounded by any debt collectors.
FWIW this applies to any coins you don't personally hold the private key for not just BTC on Coinbase.
It's not a monopoly, it's a cartel. There are a dozen hospital networks near me, but they all have opaque pricing and billing, so they all charge like this.

You can try to regulate these facility fees, or force them to be made public, but as it stands there's no reason for them to go anywhere but up, indefinitely.
Yes, incredibly.

CDS's are a form of insurance. It can be hard for someone not in the industry to see the importance of these as it doesn't affect yoru day to day life.

Just imagine your day to day life where you can't get any isurance at all.

No car insurance, no house insurance, no medical insurance.

That's the extreme case, in all likely hood the more likely scenario would be all your insurance tripling in price as no provider can hedge their risk vai reinsurance, etc.

To me issuance is very important and one of the pillars of modern society. If insurance going away, or atleast being inaccessible to 99% of the population that doesn't seem to be "terrible" to you then I'm not sure what explanation I can give you to help you understand :)
I dont believe so. The network can align the interests of the users properly.
This implies the poor are better off under socialism than as lower class in a rich country.
Somehow we have switch to slides/powerpoint from a more generic discussion on reading styles.

>GPUS should be general purpose

Why is that exactly? This looks to be a great deal given its specs in comparison to the rest of the market, and us ML folks like our application specific GPUs because a specific card will always outperform a generic card and you're not paying for things you don't need. I can't even imagine what a generalist card which works for ML would look like. Do you actually work in this space?
The medical industry has done a superb job of convincing everyone that “patients are their number one priority” when in reality they have all worked to have their own little monopolies.

From physicians to pharma companies, everyone is focused on leverage and ensuring they control the supply in their vertical.

Everyone pretends like the next round of drugs will make us so much healthier/live longer/etc. But we could have 0 innovation in medical/pharma technology in the next 20 years and if we instead focused on innovating in efficiency, expanding supply of docs and healthcare workers, and building a sustainable system, we would all be better off for it.

The next new procedure or pharmaceutical can’t do jack shit when most people that need them can’t get them in a timely and affordable manner.

I really don't think it's about doing some "BS" or annoying things at work.

It's about creating products(in this case software) that are utterly useless to the world. That maybe even make the world a worse place over the long run.

It's about products that nobody would miss if they wouldn't exist.

It's about the 1000th clone of some app that offers some wannabe feature plus social networking.

The problem is not software alone.. our world is full of shit products no one really needs. But in software you don't need to cut down trees or mine ore.

You just have endless resources.. which increases the crap output by a lot.
