Why do you think people don't stand still?
Re: "Stakeholders", I don't think it has to mean someone who holds power over a decision, but rather someone who is affected by a decision and thereby has a vested interest in it. Though this is orthogonal to the power: they might have power as well.

Google's products are at least free of the dark patterns which pervade other sites. I can't believe how unpleasant the experience of booking travel online is -- it's so hard to get a clear picture of price anywhere with all the hidden fees.

Google Flights/Hotels are somewhat nicer than other experiences, but you then lose out on the combo discounts that OTAs offer. With it being such an expensive market to enter I'm not convinced we'll see much changing soon.

The problem is that we don't have a key server for doctors. I really wish someone would lobby the HHS to provide a key server that maps to providers' NPI. Then setting up PGP for email can be streamlined.

As it stands now, everything is fragmented because companies want to lock practitioners and health care orgs in. I'd love to see them start issuing "HIPAA compliant" seals for the implementation of open and secure standards that make it easier for health care systems to communicate and transfer data easily. That way all these closed solutions will have an incentive to actually make communication between practitioners easy and secure.

The biggest joke is secure messaging. There are all these apps for secure messaging between practitioners. Of course, you have to be using the same app to open a communication channel. I know at least one of these companies is using XMPP on their backend, so it's likely others are as well. They are literally using open source solutions to make a problem that the open source solution was supposed to solve! There's no reason why $SecureMessenger can not communicate with $MessageSecure. They just don't want that to happen because they think it will cause them to lose business.

Definitely do not use SHA256, it's designed to be fast. That's the opposite of what you want when storing passwords. I don't understand what's the problem with scrypt, but if you don't want to use it there's also bcrypt and argon2i.
I actually think the cumulus cloud makes more sense for The Cloud™. The TCP model was describing a peer-to-peer model with the "cloud" as just an intermediary that carried your packets around, but in the model used by Cloud™ services, it's an omnipresent eternal amorphous entity to which the puny clients report and from which they receive data. Other peers, if they exist in the service at all, communicate only in a form mediated by The Cloud™.
I don’t think “it’s always happened this way so it probably will continue “ (although you explain this further) is a very sophisticated or for that matter accurate analysis. There’s the status quo and then there are major events that upend it. If anything could ever upend the status who like this, it’s tech. It’s like business cycles.. usually things are fine but they aren’t always fine.
I’ve tried to book directly through the hotel site. And when I’ve informed the reservation desk the rate is cheaper through an OTA they tell me to book using the OTA. That was a 20% commission they could have kept or given to me as a discount.

I guess I don’t know how agreements work. Seems like OTAs are more flexible with pricing compared to the hotel staff.
>An "expensive" hash function like scrypt provides both the user and the attacker the same slowdown/cost multiplier.

That's not true. Scrypt is designed to make computing it in parallel on the GPU expensive while keeping CPU computation reasonably fast.

Thus attackers are exposed to a much higher slowdown, since just about no login server uses GPUs
Exactly the reasons I have a hackintosh at home:

1. It has a form factor that suits my needs for space and cooling

2. It has a 1080Ti which I can use for ML or Games (though primarily games)

Though I have to say - your use case is a bit extreme. If you need excellent cooling, lots of internal storage space and ultra smooth gameplay then maybe a mac is not what you need?
It’s good for India that strong Indian software engineers (or otherwise) stay or return to India. That is less brain drain (a tool of U.S. imperialism) on the country. If you’re Indian (or, frankly, Chinese or any other ethnicity) you won’t the smartest people coming back to your country.

The U.S. will be fine either way - there is an over abundance of H1B visas but for the time being the gigantic salaries of true experts will keep people coming here. Americans have enough people in country - they need to refocus their educational institutions and increase state and federal funding. If all of the best AI experts, for example, are from other countries, then that’s a national security risk and requires change.

Sounds like https://urbit.org. Their vision is to build a personal cloud atop existing infrastructure where apps/data are all user owned, decentralized, among other things (globally referentially transparent file system, auth/identity services provided by the network, guaranteed message delivery, etc.).
Right now I'm studying for my math final for computer engineering. This really does speak to me as I often don't understand certain parts of the chapter and just skip ahead to the exercises and then I try to reflect back to the theory. Thank god that I don't have to learn a single proof though.

Alright, back to studying.
In my view, the contracts between hotels and OTAs which preclude the hotel from offering lower prices to the public are at fault here.

Contracts which sell some goods from person A to person B, but then apply conditions on person A selling similar goods to person C should be outlawed.

If Sears and Service Merchandise had simply held out for a couple of years and put up a web store front - the Dow would look a little different today.

Customers had adapted in the late 80's to something like Amazon (only problem was waiting for a few minutes after checkout) - but then they adapted to big box stores (made possible by big banks and supply chain software) - which ended up being a huge diversion of resources in the late 90's early 00's. The empty husks of retail are a testament to that.
This could be one of those things that definitely grabs developers attention in a good way. I disagree it needs to be for all Office apps - if it was just Excel and Access that would be plenty.

If you want a leadership position - and to succeed in it - "soft skills" like empathy and persuasion and self-awareness are at least as important as technical skills.
I'm not sure to what extent this is really startup luxury good.

First, here (tel aviv) the basic wework costs range from $150 to $600 depending on location and frills (eg private office). This sounds like pretty standard pp office costs. They tend to be well liked by the people who work there. Well kept, well located, social, etc. Unless paying money for office workspace is ipso facto a luxury good, this seems like a regular good. Money for services at market rates.

Second, people working there range. There are some are "startups" without definitional grey areas but these're just some of the tenants. There are external employees of regular companies. All the work from home people that prefer a shared office, at least part of the time. Apartments and cafes are still active, but it turned out there's room in the market.

The way I see this is (1) internet has created more demand for flexible offices. (2) The older versions of this were pretty crappy, so these guys moved in.

As to wework as an investment... IDK. But, you could say that about a lot of companies. As a company offering a product to a market for a price, seems like a fine company. The product is sensible. People like it. It will vary geographically, but seems perfectly plausible that wework-like offices will grow to house 1m workers.

Someone who is affected but has zero influence over a decision isn't in the way I most commonly see it being used a stakeholder.

If HR decides to lay you off, you're probably not a stakeholder.

But I agree that YMMV, and I see how it could also be used in the way you suggest.

The best example of Stakeholder is a director who a teammate presented a project to before taking it to the VP. The director said:

- I don't agree with this project, but it isn't my decision. But I'm a trusted advisor of the VP.

One of the best classes I ever had was called "Power and Politics in Organizations", and dealt with identifying, managing and using power in organizations. Power comes from many different sources (information, money, influence, friendship, knowledge, formal authority, etc.), and managing is one of the most important learnings when working in any organization with more than 2 people.

Sadly, most engineers overlook those skills and focus only on "hard" skills, which I personally find to be far easier than "soft" skills (which are hard as hell to master, IMHO).
You could. Some will, maybe most. Some people like working from a wework, if it's nice and the cost works out ok.
They'll pick up direct bookings from people who aren't interested in price comparisons and "special offer, only three rooms left, no refund" though. Same as few service providers choose to match their Groupon price on their own website.

They'll have done some sort of estimate that the revenue they lose from charging direct bookers lower prices is greater than the revenue they lose from people comparing their price with the OTA price, even if that estimation is on the back of an envelope.

"Productivity" as economists defines it is purely GDP/hours worked, it is only loosely correlated to what a lay person would consider productivity. It doesn't consider the value of consumer surplus or whether prices for goods have fallen due to foreign competition or anything else, it is purely productivity in the sense of our ability to generate dollars for every hour that someone is working.
The Basics of Bitcoin (Free 10-Day Email Course)
Honestly I feel dumb sending old threads to this address to prove this point, and I absolutely don't want any repercussions on post limits or whatever (considering you have my email and could easily find me). But I might resolve to click that send button before the end of my workday, who knows.

So why is there no report button ? When you can't downvote (I seem to have no comment limit though ? by the way I am amazed that some people with huge karma are limited) and can't flag (I don't even know how that works) posts, you feel rather helpless against incivilities.

On some lines where the train is automated, the metro operator still keeps someone on the train who has training for an emergency situation, I.e. Evacuating passengers.

So the saving is their salary compared to the train driver's salary.

On big trains, we expect the driver to spot dangers like landslides, fallen trees. These happen extremely rarely, so the driver would be bored and lose concentration without having to drive the train -- within the strict parameters set by the computer, on the most modern high speed lines.
Sorry to break it to you, but the idea of a European military is pure fantasy. The dream of a federalist Europe was dashed beyond repair in 2008 when the bizarre twilight zone of 1990-2008 ended and geopolitical realities shattered any illusion of the "end of history". Without a federal Europe, you have no chance of a federal military. We can perhaps have coalitions and military alliances like NATO, perhaps a European military forum, but nothing more. Even Germany wouldn't allow for it unless it was ultimately in line with German interests.

FWIW, while Germany should be meeting its NATO quota (it isn't), a Germany that is too militarily powerful could be a concern (same goes for Russia). Historically, it has been bad for Europe (and don't give me the "different times" spiel). It's bad enough that Germany is the economic and political hegemon of Europe, engaging in neocolonial activity to its east (territories Piketty calls "foreign-owned countries") and ordering the continent into an ersatz unity i.e. a unity of soft German domination. The Prussian unification of Germany was a mistake, a European unification under German rule is an even worse mistake. It won't happen because the rest of Europe isn't exactly keen on playing the role of de facto vassals.

It's high time that the stragglers finally noticed that while an EU based on free trade and sensible cooperation and discussion is useful, it will never approach anything resembling a federation. It is a silly, unproductive sentiment that is at worst a distraction.
We're in a VC bubble. Tons of ideas are getting funded that have virtually no likelihood of producing any return.

I would guess that this bubble will fizzle rather than pop. When the pop begins, the VCs themselves will rather abruptly find it difficult to raise money for their next funds.

This will make it far more difficult for startups to raise or re-raise, but there won't be a sudden mass extinction. We'll see many fewer getting off the ground; and those that have already raised seed or series A will for the most part spend out their runway and then die quietly.

Unlike in the first dot-com bubble, nearly all startups in this wave have customers other than other startups, so we'll see some companies struggle but less of a domino effect.
This is all off-second-hand, but I believe you have two options.

1. Use the old partitioning tool from 10.10

2. Drop down into a terminal and use diskutil

I love the old partitioner, one could create a RAID10 root partition on install in like 10 seconds.

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/621-disk-utility...

Or try booting the 10.10 installer, creating the raid array then exit and continue with 10.13 Donner Party of 6.

Now that OSX runs in VMWare, you can test all of these scenarios from your laptop before taking it to the Hackintosh.
> An "expensive" hash function like scrypt provides both the user and the attacker the same slowdown/cost multiplier.

Not really. The user only has to wait for the computation once, a few times at most, and it can easily take less time than typing the passwords.

> * Use long secrets (ie. not human-rememberable passwords)

That's very often not the case. Some people like me put truly random passwords on every service. But 99.9% don't.

Also, you can perfectly combine _both_ long keys and expensive hashes.
I think the difference is in mainly in booking conditions.

For instance a lot of OTA will push non cancellable rooms for lower prices. The hotel probably doesn’t want to deal with these customer issues directly, while the guaranteed benefit is attractive.

Look, if I'm managing someone I need to understand why asking them to work weekends upsets them. Being able to do this doesn't automatically make me a sociopath. What would make me a sociopath is asking them to do it anyway and then leaving early to go play golf. In other words not caring about them makes me a sociopath.

Sympathy requires you to feel the emotions of others which is often done to an unhealthy degree. Understanding how someone feels and feeling how they feel are different and should be treated with different words. It's good to work to understand others, but that doesn't mean you have to become them. And just because I don't share your feelings it doesn't mean I don't think they're valid. It just means I'm not you and I'm free to make my own choices.

I will often still choose to help you, but I'm not taking ownership of your problem.

The Growing Peril of Index Funds: Too Much Tech
Specifically for the London Underground there's a lot of union opposition. Some lines have mostly-automatic operation (everything except opening/closing the doors) and keep a driver around for safety reasons.
I've found the quality of the "real engineering" in this scenario is much more variable than when using local talent (of any nationality, including Indian). I've worked with very high quality India-based "real engineering" groups and very low quality ones. It seems to me the latter dominate. I haven't seen the same variance in skill hiring from local talent originally from India.
In some places (eg. London), automation is totally possible, but is resisted so hard by workers unions that all other workers on the railway would go on strike until the train operator promised to rip out automated systems and return to manual operation.

On some lines, all the driver does is open and close the doors. Even getting to that level of automation caused lots of strikes.
It's coming. The 2.0 runtime and the new out-of-process model required some changes, which are being tracked here:

But you _can_ use Python right now in the stable runtime--it's just not as nice or full-featured, because of the way the 1.x runtime works.
