I have almost no experience with APFS. I did run ZFS on my Macbook which required have / and /Users (on ZFS). It worked, but the performance was terrible. Sending snapshots to another machine was magical.

I am much quicker to capitulate defeat in the face of unique setups like this. Or at least experiment with a VM and keep my work machine more main path. You will hit bugs, it looks like you already have.
I loathe San Francisco it's a gross city especially Market St. and many of its surrounding areas. There's no other city in the US where Ive witnessed so many people on the streets; very sad and everywhere you go the sights & smells hits you. Makes you appreciate what you have, yet sad such a place exists (what can you do to help all these people) and I've lived in Philly, NYC, Baltimore and Nashville.

Sure thing. Long as you remember to show us the laptop 3-4x cheaper than the equivalent MBP.
There is an action: Apple developers programmed phones to slow down at peak when battery capacity is less than some threshold. Then there is their motivation or 'end game' for doing so: the claim being thrown around being that it's to push users to buy more phones. But it seems like doing nothing and just letting the batteries degrade would sell more phones becuase not holding a full day's charge and shutting off abruptly are much more noticeable signs of a phone's age and not many people will replace their batteries.

So if Apple is doing this to sell more phones they're not doing it as well as they could and it's more effort to do this than to just do nothing. Hence I am suspicious that this is their true motivation.
While I agree that NYC is much safer than when I first moved there five years ago -- threats still pose themselves from time to time (as anywhere will).

For example, I fell asleep for the first time on a 2 train last month, and was robbed. It was one of those, "Ah, this is definitely on me," moments. Easily preventable; however, it's still crime, nonetheless. Most importantly, I didn't report this (as many others in similar situations will not), so the statistics are probably not as accurate as headlines would like you to think.
My iPhone 6 battery health is 91% and it still sucks since the update.
>I'm also not sure on your argument for how "young men" cause crime.

Criminals skew young and overwhelmingly male.[1]

>Do we have numbers that show a higher population of males in the US than in Canada over that time period?

It appears the baby boom was about the same size or slightly larger in Canada than the US.[2] As you can see from my first post, there also was an increase in crime in Canada during the same time period as in the US, but not as pronounced.

Unlike Corn, who is claiming that leaded gasoline is the primary cause of crime, such that it explains the entire or nearly the entire late 20th-century rise and fall in the US crime rate, I am making the much more conservative claim that the ratio of young men in a population is a cause of crime.

Indeed, as I said, the Baby Boom was not large enough for it to have been the primary cause of the US crime wave. (Although it might be sufficient to explain the relatively-smaller Canadian crime wave over the same period).

[1] https://i.imgur.com/2WscI1P.jpg — The chart understates the correlation between youth and crime, because prisoners might be serving multi-year sentences, they may have got away with other crimes prior to those they're serving time for, and first-time offenders are more likely to receive a shorter or no prison sentence than recidivists are.

Support Vector Machine. A Machine Learning technique that's used typically for classification and regression, but also has been adapted to novelty detection, stuctured prediction, ranking etc. I wrote up a beginner's tutorial some time back, if you are interested [1].

i am a foreigner trying to understand this issue: why don't they just stop prescribing opium based pain killers to the general public and limit them to cancer patients - like they do in the rest of the world, wouldn't that scale down the crisis? How did the problem get this large? Even Imperial China went to war when Britain started pushing Opium to the public, why wasn't this whole thing stopped much earlier?

This is what Microsoft does when logging into their various online sites. And it is not better. There’s not much worse than hitting tab and starting to type a password only to get redirected.
Strictly speaking you can use half as much bandwidth by having TX and RX share it, i.e. half-duplex versus full-duplex. It can also somewhat simplify transciever designs in a number of ways. It is also a fairly straightforward model: if you're on the channel and in range of the transmitter or a relay (and maybe have the right preshared key), then you will hear and be able to transmit on that channel.

The FirstNet is/should be unrelated, as far as I'm aware. I think it's supposed to be for data applications like image and document sharing.
Looked really deep into alt coins the last few days, I checked also XMR which isn't fast or scalable. It's now fast because of the little use compared to BTC and ETH.

Highly scalable because of their centralized nature are Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM), Stellar started as a Ripple fork. I finally went for Stellar because of the founder (he founded and sold MtGox and founded Ripple), more potential to grow because of lower cap, the complete feature set and some recent announcements (such as Kik/Kin moving from ETH to XLM, Singal-founder will use XLM for his MobileCoin).

I might buy Ripple after some correction though. Ripple has a different positioning but a good setup too. The cap is already very high, close to ETH's.

Edit: Why the downvote?

Edit2: changed that Stellar started as a Ripple fork
A study that says that exercise cures this or that seems to come out every week, but the fact remains remains that convincing people to do it is the hard part.

To quote Ann from Parks and Rec: "Jogging is the worst, Chris. I mean, I know it keeps you healthy, but God, at what cost?"

The only thing I can say is start with as only much as you're comfortable with and no more, and pat yourself on the back for doing it. Building the habit is so much more important than making progress in the beginning.
Has it come up here before? I don't really recall.
Are they not legally required to offer water for free? I thought that was pretty common.
First of all, there is almost nothing you can say about "the HN community" as a whole, which will be true. HN is pro-bitcoin, HN is anti-bitcoin. Both false. HN is very libertarian, HN is very socialist. Both false. HN is pro-capitalism, HN is anti-capitalist. False and false. HN is pro-Trump, HN is anti-Trump. HN is feminist, HN is misogynistic. False, false, false and false. And so on, ad infinitum...

Now, certain individuals within this community may fit any or all of those descriptions, and I'm sure there are people here who are "negative against crypto." Of the ones who are that way, or at least seem that way, it probably has more to do with being skeptical of speculative bubbles in assets which have little intrinsic value. And there's a lot of reason to be skeptical of crypto-currency right now. The whole field is very young and very unproven. And even if a crypto-currency does become "the next big thing" who's to say which one (or ones) it will be? Maybe Bitcoin collapses tomorrow and it turns out that, in the end, Dogecoin was the winner. Or maybe Ethereum, or Litecoin, or FSM knows what else?

As for ICO's... they sound like a great idea... but there's a lot of reason to think that a lot of ICO's are outright scams. So it makes sense to maintain a bit of skepticism about the whole thing. The people who are (hopefully only metaphorically speaking) mortgaging their homes to invest in ICO's are playing a very risky game.

Me personally? The only aspect of the whole thing I find terribly interesting is the possibility of gaining a measure of anonymity using something like Monero. But then again, I'm one of those government hating libertarian types who rejects the idea that the State has any right to monitor my financial transactions. shrug
> But the government worked closely with vendors, trying to build the type of collaborative relationships that are rare in New York.

This comes just a handful of paragraphs after:

> A Times analysis of the 25 M.T.A. agency presidents who have left over the past two decades found that at least 18 of them became consultants or went to work for authority contractors, including many who have worked on expansion projects.

> “Is it rigged? Yes,” said Charles G. Moerdler, who has served on the M.T.A. board since 2010. “I don’t think it’s corrupt. But I think people like doing business with people they know, and so a few companies get all the work, and they can charge whatever they want.”

So which is it? Is the MTA not close enough to the vendors, or too close?

I only disagree with:

> make it indistinguishable from content

I kind of hate the idea of having marketing-planted material appearing indistinguishable from real content. Most of that is the general distrust I have towards large organizations in general.

That said, one could argue that all content is "marketing-planted" even when it's not an ad. There's always an agenda or at least bias. That's a fair point. Carry on good sir.
The sort of person who would think such a thing is the same sort of person who should be dumped in a lake with cement blocks tied to them.

Rehashing an argument does not make it wrong, and continuing doing so is still important if it's valid and not considered accordingly.

Users don't demand JavaScript nor WebAssembly, some developers do. Users want to easily discover new programs/games/whatever. If they were presented those equally easy and convenient in another form, they wouldn't even care.

Those developers that demand JavaScript and WebAssembly have mostly interests that go against the interests of the users. The developers might want to hide parts of their code or underlying data from the user, or force presentation in a certain form (ads), or avoid the orderly way of delivering software through proven ways like distributions, possibly to achieve the former two goals.

Now, where does Mozilla stand in this conflict? I realize they don't stand where I thought they would stand.

I want the web, but without random drive-by code execution. Code must be delivered by other, more accounted for ways.
Japan also has a much different outlook on blue collar jobs, and (from studying the culture and spending ~3 months there) people seem to take genuine pride in their job regardless of what it is.

Contrast that with the MTA subway workers I see regularly huddled into groups, shooting the breeze and playing on their phones -- it's a widely different outlook on work.

Also regarding you [2] link, I can't remember where I read it, but I believe that operation took years of planning.
Yeah but those aren't bitcoin transaction fees, those are just the fees for using a service that the service decides to charge.

And you only need to deal with an exchange to exchange different types of currencies for each other. If you just want to pay someone with bitcoin, you already have bitcoin, and the recipient just wants bitcoin, then you don't need to involve an exchange.
Not really.

The military contracts are a pork barrel.
The same argument against increasing the block size but even more so. It takes time for blocks to propagate across the P2P network, which puts smaller miners at a disadvantage by increasing their orphan rate, which leads to miner centralization.

I think that argument is even stronger against lower block times because latency (network, validation, etc) rather than bandwidth contributes the most to block propagation delays.
This is the only way to live. Been doing it for years and while I do end up whitelisting a lot (especially on a new browser) it is so much easier and less annoying than dealing with the ads and crappy scripts.
If the tunnels have a 20 ft diameter, that's $2100 per cubic foot of material removed. Give me a jackhammer and shovel and I'll happily do it for 50% off.
Unfortunately, one of the 'killer apps' for crypto is extortion. It's going to change the world and not for the better.

The hard part of extortion has always been getting paid. It's always involved exposure ("meet me there with a bag of money") or been subject to limitations (wire transfer clawbacks, cash withdrawal limits, etc), until now.

Right now anyone in the world can fill an insulin syringe with cyanide solution, walk into supermarkets (too big to properly secure, and there's too many supermarkets to prevent it), and inject it into random plastic coke bottles. People will stop drinking coke, and then Coca-cola will be willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to make it stop. Ten years ago, the extortionist would then have to meet somewhere to collect a bag full of money, and that's where the risk comes in. But now they can simply send coca-cola a bitcoin address and get paid anonymously risk-free. You can design extremely profitable low-risk crimes.

The question then becomes, if more people were given the ability to steal risk-free, would they? Anyone who has spent time in the crypto ecosystem has already learned the answer. They will. This is why nearly every exchange gets 'hacked' and so many darknet vendors pull exit scams. It turns out a lot of the reason most people are good all the time has more to do with fear of getting caught than virtue.

The world is about to become a very scary place.

Be the change that you wish to see. Money won't make you happy.
maybe just support? a long time ago, when microcoded architectures were the default, i did some work at that level. without having access to the processor design itself it was pretty rough going. lots of back and forth, trial and error, cycle counting. there really isn't any intermediate abstraction layer you can define.

and how much are you really going to enable? some funny bit ops? some explicitly interleaved fetch and computation? its pretty cool to try to understand things, but is it worth it for Intel? alot of stuff seems to baked in hardware too...pretty sure the cache coherency protocol isn't on the table...maybe some different concurrency primitives?
While it's part of the military, organizationally speaking, they are composed of both military and civilian staff.

They have the expertise in engineering, construction, management and budgeting.

And, since these sorts of projects don't happen often in a given place, but do happen periodically around the country, the expertise gained can be leveraged for other similar projects rather than have the MTA and other Transit orgs reinvent the wheel.

While there may be some pork in there, it's be much less than you'd find when you get local politicians and state politicians all trying to get something out of it [I'll vote for your subway, if you vote for my bridge and don't raise hell about hiring my son in law's firm, etc.]

Most of the people with heavy lead exposure are now beyond the age for violent crime.

White collar crime is bigger than ever. Today's organized crime operators have better things to do than shake down shopkeepers for protection money, run a numbers racket, or try to resell stolen goods.
Writing a simple DNS resolver is a common assignment in networking courses, and I do recommend it --- keeping in mind that the protocol was designed to work on machines with a fraction of the memory and CPU power as those today, helps understanding some of the otherwise odd design decisions; for example, requests and replies have the same format and header to allow the same buffer to be reused for both receiving the request and sending the reply. The QCLASS is another field from a time when people thought DNS would be used for networks other than the Internet.

A minor correction: DNS deals only with the hostname or authority component of the URL, so any mention of "URL encoding" doesn't make sense in this context.
I'm suggesting if the article has any conviction for moving out of tech, then the smart play is not to move out but to short. The language of "reduce exposure" is not what you should hear from your advisor/broker. You don't reduce exposure, you reduce risk by opening short hedges or opening short outright. If these people are tied up long in QQQ(the article references this instrument, which is an amateur hour NQ100 ETF), then risk of tech bust is managed by shorting NQ as a hedge.
Ok well there you go. I was basing it on your earlier definition.

So define the word contemplate.

But do you see how defining things and using the subject and object makes it hard to ask any of the major questions?
I feel like the US will continue to fall behind the curve until it's one day too late to be looked at as what other countries aspire to.

You may be right. Only the people who bought that “tactical toolkit” from that sales page are effective engineers. Everyone else may just not be up to it.

We used to call engineers who do tasks that elevate themselves at the expense of rest of the team as bad team players. Now the advice here is to do high leverage tasks.

The whole premise of the content appears to be a “get rich quick” scheme. The most vulnerable people in the industry are the young people looking for guidance and advice from older generations. The sales copy is clearly exploiting their insecurity by suggesting somehow there is a shortcut and by knowing these secrets for a small price, you too can be a 10x engineer.

But remember that the largest effects are from darkness, not sleep per se. True darkness (can't see your hand), at very regular times and long enough to create biphasic sleep. Red light doesn't trigger ipRGCs, and melatonin leads garbage clean up in mitochondria.

Probably would have been written in 1987, just a couple of months delayed. Zzap used to publish development diaries while a game was being produced, which meant the diaries would sometimes end midway when a game was cancelled (thinking of the Batman Returns [1] game diary in that case).

I've been messing around with carving for a few years and can strongly recommend it as a break from the digital world. Other names to watch for on the YouTube: Paul Sellers, Ben Orford, and (especially) Anna Casserly.

I feel like we are reaching the 'end of days' as the actual informative content on a site is typically less than 20% of the visual information on a page. I have adjusted my browsing habits to avoid sites which may be visually offensive to my sensibilities, bog down my cpu, or hang my browser. That isn't necessarily a bad thing (for me) but it certainly seems counterproductive to the site owners' goals.
If you visit Huntsville you can see an Apollo up close. (The guidance computer too.) It was a holy relic to me, and I'm not even religious.
Thinking about this more:

We would first need to correct the monopolistic behaviors by corporations which is currently being encouraged by the US government. Then UBI would work.

OR

We could do a daily proportional wealth redistribution (i.e. UBI based on a percentage of total wealth, including assets, rather than a static number - and we could do this at a daily cadence). This system would hurt corporations which have goods of lower price elasticity of demand, but at least it would be good for individuals.

OR

We could have it as state run/sponsored, i.e. the government runs farms and sells food, or companies run food production and sales, but the government pays for it. This has quality concerns, especially when it comes to regional distribution. But hopefully, like the US schooling system, maybe a combination of both government run, and government sponsored (i.e. charter school), and privately run (i.e. for the ultra wealthy), would create a healthy enough environment. Ideally, since this doesn't depend on the quality of local teachers (i.e. food doesn't care if it is getting re-allocated to rural Arkansas), it would work out better than the US schooling system. Note: This doesn't work as well for housing.
Users don't demand JavaScript nor WebAssembly, some developers do.

Exactly. One of the biggest use-cases I see for JS/Wasm is in implementing DRM obfuscation and more insidious advertising/tracking code.
We had friends recently stay at the Hilton near "Union Square". It didn't describe that it was basically in Tenderloin and the area was pretty shitty, and even worse at night. Had we known we would have warned them, because it's very deceiving.
a bunch of reasons.

I'm working on a state wide radio system for a power company, its a simulcast network, with 20 talkpaths. Your worse case bandwidth utilization is on the order of roughly 1.5 megabit a second per site (realistically, its much lower). In addition, if a site fails the other ones will still function, also, if the network core fails, the sites go into a failsoft mode, which allows single site communications to still occur.
I believe the dark web market alphabay also allowed the use of monero, motivated by improved privacy over Bitcoin. Performance wasn't really impacted since not many vendors on alphabay accepted it
You can be more specific than that and allow only a specific user/program to bind a specific privileged port. This is accomplished with a combination of SELinux and the capabilities API in 2.6.24 and newer.
I mean, to be sure Japan has institutionalized pork too[1]. They offer contracts to build retaining walls where no one lives. But damn, when they have to do something they are experts in they do it right. And given the JRs are private orgs, they can't just ask for another bond measure or other tax or more pork from the govt.

And of course it took years of planning. In the US you'd have years of "planning" [pork dealing] and then the line shut down for a year or two probably, doing things as slowly as possible.

Brave (at least on mobile) has a handy toggle by default right in the tool bar for blocking javascript and trackers. I don't use anything else on mobile anymore. Been using it about 50% of the time on desktop as well. Thinking about doing the micro-payments thing they offer.
