Any source about China not allowing collecting information?
Fooled twice :). I do not see pricing in the menu though. I indeed found the page by browsing to another page but my first expectation was to literally find “pricing” in the menu. That page could than start with the open source pricing statement (free) followed by their payed options. Or that is what these kind of products typically do.
The first. How does the reader discover these titles.
It's downloadable archive (searchable HTML format), file size is 707MB, the download link will be provided via email, it can be used up to 6 times before it expires forever ;-)

You can directly save the file to Dropbox.

BTW: Linux Journal is an important part of the Linux story, personally I've learned a lot from time to time searching or surfing the Internet (since 2001). Haven't really subscribed to the magazine but I would like to show my respect to LJ by buying the entire digital archive. I really hope some rich Silicon Valley dude can pick it up and continue the Linux Journal journey.
> Humans are happy if they are relatively well off compared to what they know.

This is super true. I've been congratulating myself all month on my new job, paying me BIG BUCKS, compared to my friends. Well, just found out an old friend of mine also found a new job, getting payed literally twice as much as me. Now I'm in a funk and it's irrational and stupid but I can't help but look at the same number in a totally different way.
This may be a post about a game related to medieval political intrigue, but I am creeped-the-fuck-out by the relation to modern r/TheDonald Deus Vult-ness.
I was thinking more of the northern European countries that are closer to the US in terms of wealth.

> Usually you judge whether something is broken when it fails to meet your expectations

Most Americans I talk to say that they want their government to help people who needs help: mentally ill, uninsured people with medical conditions.

Even conservative Americans agrees that people in need should be helped. How else would you call yourself a Christian.

Nevertheless, I see people in desparate need of help on American streets every day. Are you saying this is a new thing, and that it haven't been broken for 20-30 years?
Why not use App Engine instead of Container Engine? You could likely save more that way.
One is an order of magnitude tougher than the other. Meanwhile, you picked a perfect example to show how useless banning something like narcotics is; it has led to massive negative second-order effects like gang war and international strife.
Research and development on something likely to improve lives or benefit society. Non-profitable pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, environmental restoration etc.
Yeah. It's definitely not a clear-cut net benefit. To be fair though, they are utilizing hosted services (so they don't need to hire kubernetes experts) and the company likely already has a team of engineers maintaining N services. Maybe maintaining N+1 services is within their engineering capacity.
It may also be they dislike the artificiality of the question style, particularly if they look like “find the twist hidden deep in the description because this isn’t a normal real world problem” sort of questions.
Like most things, different companies bring different things to the high end market. Companies bring different things to the high end bike market. So you can choose from lightest, best race team, flashiest, most durable, best service, best suspension, best design, etc. If you are lucky sometimes more than one. I recommend you take a trip to the most serious trail near you. I think you'll find the popularity of bikes that you actually see on the trail is unrelated to marketing, unrelated to what you see in the bike magazines, and unrelated to what you'd guess by visiting bike stores.

If at all possible I'd look at a more famous place like the popular trails around Tahoe, Downievilla, Moab, North Shore, etc.

For my last bike my wish list was: lifetime frame warranty, threaded (not pressed) bottom bracket, and boost. Other than that I just wanted the one that felt the best. Took me 3 demos of 2 hours each to finally decide.

If you are looking for most reliable I'd check the rentals. If the bike survives a season of rentals without a prohibitive amount of expensive maintenance and parts it will likely last you a life time.

I can assure you that fox forks can last over 5 years without maintenance, but the recommended maintenance schedule is somewhere around annual or 100 to 1000 hours of riding or so.

Current high end disc brakes from SRAM or Shimano can be squeal free under most conditions, which is one of the reasons a large fraction of the high end bikes have switched to them.
I can't Google the name right now, but this does exist as an optimization technique. Just start with any program, create random permutations, score them for correctness and performance, keep the best ones, repeat.

The problem is that this is incredibly computation intense, since the number of possible programs is huge. Right now it's viable for improving small code parts with a know-correct starting point. Maybe some day computers become fast enough to make more viable.
No, it isn’t just the middle class. The rich don’t make other people’s preferred choices illegal though because they can afford to live somewhere they don’t have to deal with them. The middle class make those choices illegal, the rich buy their way out of dealing with them.
Just enough? Work on mobile app gaming, mostly things people haven't touched. Converting TVTropes into a story generator. Gamifying productivity apps. Minimalizing popular PC games like X-Com, roguelikes and Transport Tycoon into something that can be comfortably played on mobile without squinting.

If I had more money, I'd love to do an accelerator to invest in marginal ideas. These dumb ideas that have no intention of going past $1M. The kind of things that regularly appear on Indie Hackers, like Ghost. They may not be growth oriented, they can have single founders, they can be done part time and more importantly, without an expensive team. No pressure to become a unicorn. I think it's an untapped market that also doesn't have to worry about competing with Silicon Valley.

> Humans are happy if they are relatively well off compared to what they know.

So true. I have enough money to pay for my apartment, hobbies, new technology etc. I know that a lot of my friends earn 3 times my salary and to be frank, it eats me up inside.

I have not yet found a good way to combat this feeling.
That's called program synthesis which is a hot research area. Specifically, what you mention is called "programming by example". I can't remember many examples on top of my head but some people from Microsoft Research are working on it for example: https://microsoft.github.io/prose/
How did they measure happiness?

If people only care about politics when the system is broken, why do 80-90% vote in elections.

My point is that people don't vote because the system is broken. People are more likely to vote if they believe it to make a difference.

People in the US have lost faith in democracy. This is unlikely to cause more people to vote. I'm not offering a solution. Just that things are not magically going to become better because people are going to start voting when things are this bad.
Setting the number of write nodes and read nodes to match your workload. I was scaling up a system and as more things came online, the traffic became more bursty we were constantly bumping them up and wondering if we were allocating too much (probably useless fretting regardless).

Ultimately, we moved to an S3 only solution since we have such a low throughput environment and the simplicity is addictive.

I'm almost 30 and I've yet to be employed anywhere longer than 2 weeks. I'm considering joining the Army and forgetting civilian life. My dreams of being a remote coder are probably nil at this rate.

kindof, but not always.

C++ and C# are powerful complex languages. C and Java are simple languages. But I can find lots of elegant programs in C or Java. They don't make the programs feel complex.

Still it depends on the programmer. Programs in any language can vary drastically in readability.

15 of the Hottest Sportswomen on the Planet as You’ve Never Seen Before
I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I agree with your premise. I know for a fact that I am better off than my parents, my parents were better off than their parents, and my grandparents were better off than their parents, and in general, this is true for families. Yet, IMO, we are less satisfied and it is because there is a real and growing chasm of people in different income groups in regards to quality of life.
SMS simply wasn't an option on the earlier GSM handsets; I remember in 1996 or so in one of the early GSM adopters -Norway - when shopping for a phone, the salesman showed me two identical-looking Nokia sets, a $100 price difference between them - one could send SMS, the other only receive them. I went with the more expensive one, as the cheapest monthly plans at the time ($6/month fee) priced daytime calls at $.85/minute, making SMS (at $0.15 a pop) a good deal.

Edit - the handset I was upgrading from could only receive SMS; I believe my father's handset at the time couldn't even receive them - but that may have been a carrier limitation, not down to the handset capabilities.

Congratulations. You just hit the nail on the head.

"Developer"

Source control should be usable by people other than developers.

And, to be blunt, if the end user has to be a developer to understand a source control system, the source control system is the problem--not the end user.
IIRC from when I looked ~2 years ago, > 80% of new repositories on bitbucket were using git. (and that's a conservative estimate, because I'm not entirely sure whether it clearly was over 90% or not, but it might (likely) have been).

Improve data literacy / education
I've never understood required hours. Because sometimes 20 hrs in a week is a lot. Other times 60 is no time at all. Those weeks where 20 are a lot I am extremely distracted and the next day I am not excited for work. The weeks where 60 is no time, most of that is productive and I want to go to work. Judging work by number of hours just seems like a poor metric.
off-topic.

One of my goto none coding interview questions is to have a candidate design a mobile analytics solution.

From the article, I've learned Google has a reference architecture: https://cloud.google.com/solutions/mobile/mobile-gaming-anal...
I dunno. The way I look at it, whatever you could have been working on to advance your company when Mixpanel took care of things, you weren't when you were building this and can't when you have to maintain it.
I mean, yeah.
> What is more wacky is why gifs returned to fashion at all. They were dead for nearly a decade after people stopped doing their own web sites, and used gifs for things like animated "under construction" signs.

Same reason that H.264 won the web video standards war: mobile.

While mobile browsers can now embed videos reliably that wasn't always the case, and if there's one thing mobile users hate it's links opening other apps. GIFs allowed "video" content to be displayed inline easily in a mostly universal fashion.
This did not mention the front end at all. In my opinion getting a front end anywhere near as slick and powerful as Mixpanel's is an even bigger challenge than the data pipeline. The Google Reference Architecture diagram shows spreadsheets, which would require a bunch of handroll queries, and BI tools like Tableau which would be another cost and another big custom query integration job. I've seen PMs spend hours in mixpanel quickly generating custom report after custom report to really understand their data, none of these other front ends would come close to that flexibility for non-technical users.

The easy and cheap way to keep mixpanel cost under control is sample events or send only unique events per session.
Hardly. The international operations are often faked to facilitate the dodge e.g. IP licensing of branding from Cayman Island entities.
If it makes you happier, these results confirms what me and my family simply see in an adjacent country (anecdotal evidence from several data points). There are barely any bugs. Mosquitos used to be a nuisance, everyone shared tips how to protect against them. You don't have to anymore, you can leave windows open at night. There was buzzing all over the garden, now you have to look close to spot a bug.
Is this Kenya's real M-PESA innovator? – Part I
Why is it an era of landscapers when Google builds it but not even thought of when it is a regular shopping mall? Plenty of shopping malls with these sizes around the world. Also build as one long “landscraper”. I would say landscapers are already there for many years, just not by a fancy company.

You build skyscrapers in locations where ground is scarce and expensive, you build landscapers in locations where it is the opposite. In dense areas with high ground prices you accept the building cost overhead, in other areas you go for cheaper building costs and accept the increased price on land (as compared to a skyscraper at the same location).
And at the time of the Great War, the monarchs of Britain, Germany and Russia were all first cousins.

Or you could look at ex-Yugoslavian states, Catalonia, Scotland. Kaliningrad is one Russian example, but you also have the ~14 countries that used to be part of the USSR and chose independence. Things can swing either way, even after prolonged periods of integration. For HK it will depend on how much of a separate "Hong Kong" identity can survive.
Is This Kenya's Real M-PESA Innovator? – Part II
Software is always 'Pay me now, or pay me later'. In the end I believe you usually always end up paying pretty close to the same, it just depends on if you are happy with the solution in 18-36 months or hate it.
Seems like these days, the expected strategy is to let things happen and delegate making you whole to insurance and the legal system.

I can see how this is better - especially for society in general - than taking things into your own hands, but then insurance sometimes will try to screw you (is there insurance for insurance?), and lawyers are prohibitively expensive for many.
If Apple leaves China, where would they manufacture iPhones?
It's good to be conscious of vendor-lock-in as you implement a tool or library. If their product is good, at the worst you can borrow their API design and slowly reimplement portions of the back-end provided with your own implementations to liberate yourself. For a product/business that makes money, most often using a stable external tool is a better first-step.

If things flip around again and you find a new library that solves your needs better than your homegrown lib, you can drop it in forking your lib and turning it into a wrapper on the external lib.

At least this is what I have learned implementing high flexibility cross-platform mobile video playback solutions in our app over the last 5 years, where the landscape of libraries (and our own tools) has kept changing.
I love all the fruitfan revisionist history. The US might have been a mobile backwater, but the iPhone was hardly the point of change. For god's sake there was free night and weekend minutes as early as 2000 and by 2007 Sprint SERO was giving away unlimited data and all the feature phones and PDA's could browse the web, had GPS-enabled maps, and ran loads of J2ME games.

The iPhone was an evolution not a revolution.

There are a ton of embedded assumptions in this question, and I disagree with pretty much all of them. It wouldn't be that strange to add attractiveness to the list, but you're starting from a very already strange place. It's good parenting to pick the best for your kids. But that's different from picking your kids.

I'd love to live when you live. In my area (and in every other motorized place on the planet that I heard about so far), people always go above the speed limit, precisely because cops don't ticket everyone.
My daughter did the same when she was near car. And no one even role modeled that in front of her as they tend to do with boys. (People tended not to want to play with car with her even if she took that to them. It seemed like people feel bad/confused about playing with gender inappropriate toy. ).

Older then six months, six months old are not bringing toys to people due to lack of ability to crawl effectively.

I also remember what 6 months old are like. If their actions are proof of universal anything to you, then it is your own bias. They don't play pretend knowingly yet, they only mimic a bit. Nor are cosistent.

But interesting is that whenever child or me does or wish something gender noncomforming, like almost always, someone feels the need to explain that someone else is gender conforming.
I think the "problems with regulators and local governments" part is the implementation of the "forced into merging into a local entity" effect the great grandparent comment referred to.

So what actions did the SEC actually take? It's an Ethereum token, right? So even if the SEC froze the creator's assets, they can't prevent others from still trading the token. They haven't completely closed the on-ramps for the token, then, since new "investors" can still purchase them in exchange for some other token. I guess they've just halted the creation of new tokens and the advertisement of the token by its creator?

So what happens to all the existing investors? Does the SEC (or another entity) buy back their tokens with the seized funds? Clearly, I haven't dealt with ICOs before, nor do I understand much of how the SEC operates.
I think the larger problem is that back then, those demos were indistinguishable from magic -- they looked more amazing than anything else you saw on that computer screen. Now, with 60-120fps HD video on your screen, writing assembler to produce some "ugly CGI" is just not attractive.

That isn’t true at all. First, China allows collecting similar info about people as in the west, and all the Chinese internet companies do it probably more aggressively than their international counterparts. Second, google left china (search market) because the Chinese government was hacking gmail accounts to root out dissidents.

anecdotal evidence from my pesticide free farm, this year I've had massive amount of bugs.

Its 33f right now, and I see them flying around on my security camera system - so much I've had to disable the motion detection system the entire year because it is completely worthless even with the latest detection algorithm, with several cameras having massive spider webs because the bugs are attracted to the IR light. It could be a massive die off of bugs, but not here (Oregon).
