I’m a senior developer in the Washington DC area and 1) I definitely do not take 30 days vacation per year and 2) I can assure you that I would lose my house and probably more if I was out of a job for 6-10 months. So I guess regardless of the very good salary I make, I’m poor?
Raw supply may not be the problem, it could be training etc.

Plenty of people are in a move, it takes something else to have the kind of run of a Robert De Niro or Anthony Hopkins. And generally people that have those kind of long runs are significantly more talented that many others.

They also often have family in the business, who presumably pass on more than just a foot in the door.

While the potential negative consequences for cheating fail to outweigh the potential benefits of cheating (depending on who the person is of course) cheating will continue to occur.

I'd like to think there was a time when stunts like Theranos pulled earlier would have been career ending for the people involved but maybe that time never existed. It does suck for everyone else though.

The implicit gain in scummy behavior is definitely a flaw in our system that hopefully gets patched up at some point.

Minorly ironic the rest of the article about accessible text only content is hidden behind a non-functional (for me, currently) 'Read More' button.

Since when is a trading cost of 0% (maker, high volume, bitfinex) and 0.1% (taker, high volume, bitfinex) so high?
The only real solution, imo (obviously) requires generations of effort and education. You have to instill within the people a sense of importance of collective good and shared responsibility. It seems that lack of shared responsibility is what causes many of the problems in that region.

I wouldn't say it has anything to do with religion, but I find it a bit curious that Bali (which has a very different religion than the rest of Indonesia) seems to have a bit more of a sense of shared responsibility. Or maybe their religious followings dictate more activities that happen to benefit the general population. Still, though, it's a bit of a mess by other standards. And still, I would happily be back in Bali during the European winters.
Sure, probably I oversimplified it, but melatonin does play a more central role in sleep than some of the factors mentioned in the article.

If you are interested in sleep, the 2017 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine was awarded to 3 researchers for their work in advancing the understanding of the circadian rhythm.

An article can be found here:

Melatonin is not explicitly mentioned there but you will find multiple occurrences of "hormone release". Melatonin is one of such hormones.
Being better for the planet is not the main part - for starters, homo sapiens dying off would likely also be better for the planet.

Quite a few things are the better choice for the planet and a worse choice for us, so we're going to ensure that they don't happen.
"Lite" versions of news sites are a smart compromise between two competing forces: the desire to appeal to audiences that are put off by garish, heavyweight sites, and to do so in a way that doesn't endanger the revenue they get from all the trackers and advertising on their fat sites.

By making the text-only version a separate destination, most of their traffic still flows to their multimedia site by default and by habit.

The light version is always advertised by them for specific use-cases only: quick access in emergencies and for usage in "emerging markets" (inaccurate marketing-speak for low-bandwidth connections on low-power devices).

The market forces behind text-only news sites are not unlike those behind AMP links, Facebook Instant Articles, and the Apple News app. News sites want their news to be read, but not at the cost of not getting paid. It's a difficult problem to solve, and these "secondary" text sites typically get the content in front of the most ad-averse eyeballs anyway, so they're not currently a threat.
But if you see my unfortunately long comment elsewhere, there will be some locals who will cut holes in your wall to facilitate foot traffic.

TL;DR: He did an amazing job in Homebrew of designing software with a fantastic UX. He did a not amazing job interviewing for a software engineer position.

I write this with a fairly pro-nuclear-energy bias.

Is it even possible to reliably measure this? Sure, the statistical test says 'significant', but the number of potential confounding geographic variables must be enormous. How can this study have possibly ruled out other pollutants, economic conditions, or suchlike correlating with how weapons test sites are chosen?

It seems very plausible that nuclear weapons testing caused pollution, but it also seems plausible that the weapons were being tested in areas that were wilting. I don't know, but I am very cautious about using this data to conclude what specific effect radiation pollution has. The 'Robustness' section looks fairly cursory.
This might be just a case where the law hasn't caught up with what the lawyers are doing.

Extortion is "Pay me ${X} or I do ${Y}".

"Pay me $10,000 or I release these naughty images of you on the internet." is extortion.

"Pay me $1,000, or I will foreclose on your property" is not, because likely you signed a contract agreeing to such a scenario.

Now "Pay me $500, or I'll file a police report..." is extortion (at least according to here: https://criminal-law.freeadvice.com/criminal-law/violent_cri... )

Even though you may have broken the law, the extortion of money to prevent the police report is still illegal.
Thanks, I always forget the word "pepakura"

there is a huge problem with browsers right now -- they are very complicated and big and therefore their development is monopolized by three large organizations, leading to browsers that dont adhere to the best interests of the users. and yet, as this article demonstrates, much of the internet does not require any of the complicated machinery in modern browsers.

we have seen our culture, the worlds culture, adopt computers and the internet. gaming, social media, all kinds of media distributed over the internet -- we have grown into the internet. and with this development, we are fast approaching a platou, a period of maturity where it is clear what exactly the internet is used for by most people in most cases, and also (critically) how those uses are implemented. when the internet was born, we made browsers with a turing complete language built in and we made all the tools very general, all because we didnt know what was going to happen. we had to be ready for anything. this is simply not true anymore.

off the cuff, the internet is used for reading forums, reading news, watching video and listening to music. perhaps a new kind of browser can be adopted that has those things baked in and nothing else. this kind of browser would meet most of peoples needs while being simple enough to make competition possible, thus aligning these new browsers with the interests of users. these browsers would be much, much safer as well.

for other kind of websites, sophisticated web apps that allow you to interface with a service, like email or time clocking or whatever, perhaps those things could be branched off into a new area where js, wasm and binary distribution live. perhaps a different class of browsers. with these kinds of browsers, there is more pressure to align with users interests because users can soft-boycott them because 90 percent of their needs are met by the simpler browsers mentioned earlier.

and perhaps a new standard for interfacing with documents can be baked into these new simpler browsers to further take necessity and power away from js and wasm browsers. for things like emails, remote document manipulation, assignment submissions, etc, a lot of that could be fit into a standard that is baked into the browser instead of being re-implemented in js for every instance.

a new class of simple browsers would create a new division of the internet that is clean, fast, simple and worry free much like these text only news sites.

if one could bake payment into the browser as well, creating the most friction-less payment experience on the internet ever seen, we could see a re-vitalization like that seen with patreon all over again.
> To believe that tapping 128 bits of "entropy" from /dev/urandom is equivalent to "depleting" 128 bit of entropy from the "system entropy pool", you must also believe that encrypting 16 bytes with AES-CTR somehow materially weakens the key.

As long as none of the 128 bits of the plaintext is known, we're also adding 128 bits of unpredictability, so the net result is zero.

If some of the plaintext bits are known, in theory the unpredictability should decrease. For an extreme example: if all 128 bits of plaintext are known, and all 128 bits of ciphertext are also known, there should be a single 128 bit AES key that maps that input to that output, so the entropy left in the key would be zero.

However, there is no known way to find that single key other than through a brute force search through all the 2^128 keys, so it's still safe. That also applies to the CSPRNGs: even if the entropy has decreased to zero, as long as an attacker has to brute force through a large enough number of possible states to take advantage of that fact, it's safe. It doesn't change the fact that, when the entropy left is zero, there is a single state which could lead to the observed outputs.

Yes, this means that after the entropy in the CSPRNG has passed the point where brute force is no longer viable, the amount of entropy left on the pool becomes a useless measurement. What matters is how much work an attacker would have to do, not how much theoretical entropy is left.
I'm curious whether the parent poster knows about the most recent HA features in Postgres, such as those introduced in v10, and if so, what is still missing for comparable HA. Here's a link to the HA docs for out-of-the-box postgres:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/high-availability....

As for scaling, it certainly scales out of the box with partitioning, but admittedly a partitioned table doesn't offer all the features that a non-partitioned sql table offers. A great assessment of the current state of postgres scaling can be found here:

Same command syntax as psql, so no need to learn a new tool. A single command line client that works with every database, so there's no need to have multiple binaries installed. It's a single static binary, so it can be copied and used from anywhere -- no need for endless pip dependencies.

I wonder how much of those saved margins will get eaten up by increasing customer acquisition costs as more and more competitors pop up in DTC.

First movers will probably have some brands awareness advantage for a lower CaC cost, but I question brand loyalty in DTC product lines without seeing numbers.

What I'm curious about is where the breakeven point is regarding tradeoffs with the benefits of selling to a retail chain.

It cannot feed me, it cannot protect me from the elements, I cannot grow food on it and is not a tool to help me create something desirable by the others. Hence it has no value.

What if I have no clear idea of how to do this, and the standard advice for that problem starts with stuff I don't know how to do (e.g. talk to people like a normal human who craves face-to-face social validation)?

Some examples:

-Obama said, on multiple occassions, that Assad using chemical weapons would be a "red line". Assad crossed it. Obama did not strike Assad.

-Syrians asked repeatedly for a no-fly zone like that imposed against Gaddafi, to prevent Assad from pulverizing residential neighborhoods. Obama refused.

-Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey wanted to send serious weapons to those struggling against Assad. Obama essentially vetoed any such steps.

The free market way that the costs (assuming they're significant) would be properly reflected in prices and cause some of the people to shift their purchasing/deliveries/whatever to another time.

Currently, there's no meaningful economic pressure to do your christmas shopping months in advance; so that's probably an indicator that the infrastructure is manageable and no major changes are really needed.

Holy cow, -1 points. I'm not complaining, just amazed there are enough people who really think private sector criminal enforcement† is a good idea. No thanks, the word for that is "vigilanteism". I am concerned that there is a privatized legal system and glad that at least Wal Mart has stopped.

†(private sector civil resolution --arbitration -- is often a good idea when there is not a huge power imbalance)
You’re the expert, but I thought subsidence (land sinking because of fossil fuel extraction) and compaction were two different phenomemons. Plus erosion (loss of coastline) and rising ocean, there’s multiple factors involved.

Remember there’s two sides to the equation. Most of the shipments originate from large warehouses or regions that are centrally locates. That’s the aggregate demand part from the retailer. Most retailers can model that.

The delivery side is harder... nobody knows how many pants LL Bean is shipping to my zip code on December 4. You also have the variables of weather, congested highways, etc.
These were private conversations, professional to professional, not conversations in the context of their sale. Maybe there is confirmation bias, but they could have just as easily said "Mongo was a piece of crap, we replaced it, it took a lot of engineering hours."

All of the complaints I've seen against Mongo are from people who read Aphyr's blog from their SQL High Horse and say "ha, look at those dirty Mongo peasants, can't you see that one in every ten million reads are inconsistent under high load? Why would anyone use this crap?" Use it in production, even under significant load, and you realize that sure you might hit a snag every once in a while, but its tolerable. It works fine. Its not trash. Its adequate. Understand the problem you're trying to solve. Understand Mongo's limitations.
All these DTC clothing stores I've seen only tend to target the high end crowd. I don't want to pay $100 for a basic t-shirt or jeans. If someone can get good fitting t-shirt and jeans for the prices at Target but online, I'd be happy to buy.
Trivial for Apple to compile a list of all medications and fix this.
I wish this could be taught. But, sadly, given how many religious conservatives are rabidly against teaching children anything about anything that could maybe lead to sex, I can easily see there being a major defense against this because schools are "trying to get young kids to have sex."

Starting point? I though they were "simple calculations" that you had already easily performed and completely finished correctly, that anyone else should easily be able to do, which proved your point beyond a doubt. Why are you changing the goalposts? Take the five minutes and finish your own homework yourself instead of telling me to do it for you.

"Politically Correct" describes the Trump Administration's politically motivated denial of science. "Scientifically Correct" describes the vast body of consistent peer reviewed evidence that you and the Trump Administration are denying, on which an overwhelming majority of scientists agree.

The burden of proof and obligation to take at least five minutes citing evidence and crunching the numbers lies in your court, since you're the one calling everyone a liar then changing the goalposts. So start responding to people's questions and stop stonewalling and deflecting.

The fact that you agree with Donald Trump and parrot his blustering insincere persuasion techniques instead of citing scientific evidence should be a clue that you're wrong.

What else do you agree with him on? Do you also agree with Donald Trump that teaching evolution and allowing gay marriage is "political correctness", too? And what about all those women who accused him and Roy Moore of sexual assault, is each and every one of them a liar too, just like all of those scientists?
So like 20 million people? What about the countries that make up the vast majority of Europe? Median income is much higher in the US than in UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy.

I seriously doubt that a full-scale military assault on Russia is 1) going to be productive in the long run and 2) really not justified just to protect a cable. Given the ultra-big egos of donald and vladmir, any act that one might interpret as an assault would very likely result in massive amounts of firepower launching at civilian targets. Maybe I'm alone in accepting some spotting internet connection to Europe vs hundreds of thousands (or easily, millions) of casualties.
