Indeed - that bothered me about that article as well. Aldi in Germany has since a while recognized that customer expectations are evolving and that other supermarkets offer superior “feel” at similarly low prices. Hence the upgrade. Guess a bit of a similar story as McDonalds’s push for higher (perceived?) quality
Yes. I have friends who are on waiting lists for residence permits in Shanghai, etc.
Consuming media without further participation in life may be meaningless, but to assert that they're inherently meaningless is nonsense. Many people are perfectly capable to grasping ideas in the abstract and then implementing them in reality.
Is this interesting (or at least relevant) for the freifunk project?
Commercial buildings typically have a "demand charge" based on your peak energy usage, plus different electric rates for on/off peak hours. Some building systems have already tackled "load shifting" to move energy demand to off hours.

One common method is "cold storage" where you run chillers overnight to store a bunch of coolant or ice in tanks and use that for your air conditioning during the day.
Looks like it could be an awesome resource, however the search is painfully slow for me on mobile. After typing a letter the whole page freezes for about 30 seconds. Android 7.1.1 Firefox 57.
Get a bicycle and just ride it everywhere.
I submitted the resources page because it contains useful security guidelines for journalists, members of ngos, political activists but imho also ordinary people who care about counter surveillance.

There is also a step-by-step guide for how to add a security-key to your Google account and how to remove a phone number as 2nd factor (this should be easier but right now this guide is a useful artifact to point people to)
I think that's more attributable to the fact that for most people, their first 10 hours with Lisp are spent writing recursive functions that explicitly cdr down lists, rather than the names car and cdr. I think it would make a much bigger difference if more people's first exposure to Lisp was something like:

(with-open-file (input "foo.txt")
(loop for line = (read-line input nil)
while line
do (write-line line)))

But instead most schools only use Lisp as a vehicle for teaching the basics of recursion and functional programming, rather than as an immediately useful tool, so most students go away with the idea that that's what Lisp is used for, and attribute their difficulty understanding The Little Schemer to difficulty understanding Lisp.
> Every married heterosexual man has at least one acquaintance who was "divorce raped". All of the virtue signaling in the world by a man's wife does not protect him from a change of her heart.

Eww. Do they actually call it that? That's messed up.

Anyhow, nobody is forcing anyone to get married. It's no different from any other contract. If you don't like the terms, don't sign the sheet.
Unclear what the article is really talking about. However, regardless of programming language, I do think that microarchitectures could do more for security. When going for memory safety, why stop at the highest level?

Frankly, if it were about memory safety, though, I think we could count C out. A microarchitecture with inherent protection against memory bugs would likely not be able to provide it's advantages to vanilla C or existing C software.
Exactly. Aldi Süd also doesn't leave things in big cardboard boxes but puts them properly on display.
It's a struggle, I feel your burnt out pain. I went through a similar stretch last year...

I tried traveling, I tried picking up new hobbies, I tried not working at all.

2 things that helped the most:

1. seeing a therapist regularly -- wish i started this sooner in my career.
2. taking a break and traveling with a group called unsettled - group of 30 people who are in transition in some way... leaving job, starting new job, switching careers, wanting to leave job, wanting to start a company, starting a company, etc. unsettled gets you a shared house and coworking space. Being around people from all over the world is inspiring and gives you new perspective. There are other companies that offer this remoteyear, etc. but unsettled attracts people in transition which i found to be a good fit for me. see here http://beunsettled.co
>Shipping is slow

I bought 30 latest revision d1 mini plus a few other shields, payed AliExpress premium express shipping.

The express shipping came out to 20$ (you can play with quantities to maximize items for bulk shipping price from same seller... Like remove one d1 mini to add 4 components to keep shipping price the same or add a few d1 mini till price changes and go back down 1 quantity, it's tiered.).

Item arrived to Canada within 10 days (came DHL).

This was back in November.
Good? I feel like these "analyst" reports are often completely wrong and generally not useful. Who knows what Apple's goal with the iPhone X is, but as an observer I see it as a low volume, premium product, that allows them to innovate. If you have a crazy high volume product you can't do anything risky...even if you could you'd run into volume issues (acquiring parts) and any bad choice would affect a majority of your profits for the year.
Of course it's much easier. If it was as difficult there would be big companies living just on properly getting rid of electricity.

But it being easier does not make it free. The price is negative exactly because it costs the generating company something to put a resistor at their side. If you have a resistor around that is cheaper, you can get some nice payment out of using it.
I'm sorry, but this line of thinking is abso-fucking-lutely bonkers. If he, or any of you honestly feel that someone would do that, then why are you marrying them?

Her not signing is in no way, shape, or form sabotaging the business venture. Not in the slightest. And if he does divorce because of that, then he deserves whatever he gets, because he shouldn't have married her in the first place, and he didn't love her.
I also haven't read through the technical report in detail, but in skimming through parts of it, it looks like WPaxos is supposed to provide linearizability. More specifically, the authors state that:

> WPaxos maintains separate logs for every object and
provides per-object linearizability.

Linearizability is a composable correctness condition, so per-object linearizability implies that the composition of all the objects is linearizable. Thus, WPaxos does in fact provide a single total ordering of all operations. Nearly all of the replicated state machines via consensus protocols (Paxos, EPaxos, Mencius, Generalized Paxos, etc.) provide this same consistency level.
Tom Weller's “Science Made Stupid” and “Cvltvre Made Stvpid”
Why does that make the system "rigged"? If you start a tech firm with four developers and one of the lawyers get a divorce, do you want his ex to have any voting rights when it comes to strategy?
I feel like that $3.6 Million in funding go a lot further if spent on projects like the Rust Language.
>What they should be doing instead is coming up with a clear use case that fills an actual need (not some philosophical appetite). A few of these technologies may have this trait so I tend to think in more optimistic way.

I agree. We need to come up with at one strong need that average net users have that is being poorly served by the present centralized system.

I think we are not there yet because the techies are still developing systems that work and are easy to use. Once we have that, then people who are more marketing-oriented will figure out what needs to appeal to and what particular technology would do it best.
Do you care to elaborate? Your proposal doesn't make any sense to me. What message? What kind of signature? How does it help to claim some altcoins with a net positive outcome?
Up until 2004, it was completely normal for US citizens to travel to Canada and Mexico (and back, of course) without a passport.

Reentry theoretically shouldn't require a passport, as long as you can prove citizenship.

Really? What year was it and what neighborhood?

I admit this is anecdotal but I’ve been to Shanghai several times and never seen any dead bodies in the streets? China has some huge social problems and I did see some homeless people and beggars but no bodies.
I bought too many and thought the same thing.

Mathematicians are immortal.
Out of curiosity, in the description you linked you say it's a two-register model but then you mention R, O and I but only refer to O as a register. You refer to both R and I as accumulators. I assume at least one of them is also a register, but that would suggest it's a three-register model, no?
That's my favorite: "Why can't I just tell the machine what I want?" (Often preceded by "What I want is simple.")

When people tell me something like that, I start asking questions about what they want. It only takes one or two questions to evoke a reply from them of, "Oh, I don't know... maybe it should do this, or maybe it should do that; it kind of depends..."

And therein lies the real problem. When the end user cannot even clearly define (or even decide!) what they want when a certain situation comes up, how could a computer possibly know? Put the user next to a good developer, and I promise the bottleneck will be the user.
I'm skeptical. As far as i can tell their 'unhackable' solution is some form of super advanced ASLR that moves 'some' kind of software around and decrypts and re-encrypts it on the fly. By continually encrypting with new keys and such they are betting that an attacker won't have the time to find vulnerabilities. However, this all assumes the 'advanced ASLR' itself isn't vulnerable, and moreover they are not building software that has no bugs, but rather just throwing all the bugs behind a pretty big locked door.

Sure it's a cool idea, but lets not call it unhackable.
Is it a FIFO queue or are there qualification criteria or scoring systems?
All the electricity produced must be consumed, roughly at the same time. It has nowhere else to go.

Shutting down generators is a process that may take hours (or days if it's nuclear) and may be expensive.
It is not helpful to scatter snarly phrases like "if you did your research". Also here you have created a straw man argument by introducing ideas that are tenuously resulted and then criticising the parent as though they had taken a position on them. Please engage in the conversation in good faith.
No, asking for the postnup is a first-strike. Before that point, there was no reason to assume that there was a problem in the relationship. Asking for the postnup introduces distrust into the dynamic.

If I were the spouse being asked to sign the document, I'd say, "Nope, let's get divorced right now and split the money in half. After that, if you want me in your life, feel free to court me again."
As described in the Wikipedia page, the power load balancing is done over the course of a day - not seasonal (those tend to be reservoirs for consumption / irrigation).

> Along with energy management, pumped storage systems help control electrical network frequency and provide reserve generation. Thermal plants are much less able to respond to sudden changes in electrical demand, potentially causing frequency and voltage instability. Pumped storage plants, like other hydroelectric plants, can respond to load changes within seconds.
I haven’t been to an Aldi in the US but the ones I’ve been in Europe have all been very barebones and the atmosphere reminded somewhat of communist grocery stores from when I lived in USSR.

Funny notice when I first came to US and visited Trader Joe’s I immediately wondered if it was owned by Aldi (it is). The concept is very similar (one product of each, no choice of brands) but executed very differently. Whereas Aldi is trying to be as cheap as possible, TJ seems to cater to urban hipsters. And yes, personnel is much friendlier too!

Also, in the Netherlands Aldi had the reputation of “Walmart” of employers. Many stories of poor working conditions like timed bathroom breaks, etc.
> hear a lot of stories like that, and I’m happy to listen because I like stories, but I don’t know that there’s anything actionable here. Avoid managers who prefer doling out punishments to helping their employees? Obvious but not actionable.

Actually, the advice to avoid managers who are not helping employees is eminently actionable. It's just that the actions are either tedious or radical.

Tedious steps to take, before you are in the situation: find other current and former team members on linked in and do backchannel references on the position.

Radical steps to take, after you are in the situation: quit your job and find another one.

> If I were his wife, I would seriously consider leaving him over this. Walk, with "his" assets that were always his-and-hers

People like you are exactly why people want to sign pre-nups in the first place.

> He made a financial agreement with his wife to share 50-50. That's what a marriage is, it's a legally binding contract.

If it was always clearly cut as a 50-50 split set in stone, there would be no need for as many divorce lawyers.

> And he wants to alter the terms of the deal now, as a post-nup? After years of partnership? Oh hell no.

People want to alter the terms of the deal all the time, a divorce is usually one of those alterations, most frequently initiated by women. After years of partnership. Why this is surprising to anyone is beyond me. Is it really that different in California?

You are correct in one thing though - he probably shouldn't have gotten married to begin with.
"Lab toy" examples often use simplistic or unrealistic requirements to demonstrate some grand catchy abstraction. But real-world problems often end up being difficult to shoe-horn into the needed patterns. Perhaps the best and brightest can reformulate real-world requirements to fit, but they haven't codified the techniques yet. The last part seems the hardest.
Eh, I get that it is limited in a "Okay but how do I step out of this toy environment and actually do stuff" kind of way, but I think it teaches people how to use their logical thinking without overloading them with information. I think that almost gets taken for granted, but I did an escape room recently and it really showed me just how bad most people are at just generally putting two and two together and solving problems.
It doesn't make sense that they would refuse to buy the efficient machines then... because they would be forced out of the market by people who did.
> Should estate law just be modified and have all assets of a dead person go to the state?

Why not? Why should a dead person continue to exert their influence in the form of cash after they're done personally contributing to society? Why does someone deserve the fruits of their parents' labor? Do we also judge children by the sins of their father? If someone's money is transferrable, why not blame or shame?
That’s at least something the article got right: at least in Germany Aldi has an unbelievably broad target audience. It’s quite common to see a Porsche parked in front of an Aldi. But you will also see plenty of struggling families. There is some general perception that Aldi has very high quality products (more often than not confirmed in tests) and they have garnered a lot of trust. But yes, if you look for the very cheapest you might have to look elsewhere (such as local stores around immigrant communities)
To be fair, I think the parent poster is not suggesting that you retire outright with $750k in the bank, but work independently "free of bosses". Hopefully in several decades of self-employment, you would be able to generate some meaningful supplemental income during that time.
> I'm sorry, but this line of thinking is abso-fucking-lutely bonkers. If he, or any of you honestly feel that someone would do that, then why are you marrying them?

Trust, but verify (Доверяй, но проверяй).
If social media is the only thing connecting you to a friend, they aren’t that good of a friend anyway.

Sure, I have friends like that. I also have friendships that began on social media and endured for years, including both people I've never met in real life due to geographic separation/difficulty of travel and people that I have met and got on with equally well in person. Perhaps you haven't experienced that yet, but I've been hearing this clicheed dismissal of virtual relationships for ~25 years now and it's getting pretty old.

The contracts for facial scanners in the security industrial complex is likely much more lucrative than fingerprint scanners.
Not a chance. You just described the surface area. The complexity is in the business rules and logic behind those IO interfaces.

We could develop tools that would build those interfaces from words you speak, but until you can speak deterministic logic and rules to the computer to define the behaviors you need, you still need programmers. In fact, I would argue that the programmer/developer is less a person who types code and more a person who helps a user decide the rules of the systems they have requested.
In scenarios like this where a person looks to leave immediately after getting money I just assume they were settling to begin with. This seems to happen a lot in the entertainment industry where people leave their original spouses soon after hitting it big and gaining access to dating pools they likely never had access to before.

Agreed. I do like 95% of my grocery shopping at Aldi, and the remaining 5% are the few things I want that they simply don't carry.

The checkout is blazing fast, and supports contactless payments including Apple Pay and the Android ecosystem counterparts.

The prices are unbeatable. I can get small quantities of things at Aldi for lower unit prices than I can get at BJ's or Costco. Not by a bit, either. Often 20-25% cheaper, despite not buying in bulk.

There's no fripperies like bacon-wrapped scallops, bakery, couture frozen dinners, pre-made meals a la Wegman's, etc. Though if you cook, it has everything you need, and nothing you don't.

You want to see how to run a business lean? Aldi is the benchmark for supermarkets.

I'd say the only negative is if you want good produce, you need to be there at open.
Could you provide some of those situations? Was that the only thing that sunk it, or were those companies in trouble already?
Seconding the Ubiquiti rec, just in general. Their equipment is better in difficult radio environments than anything else I've ever used.
> unfriendly German efficiency

This is exactly how Aldi feels here in Bavaria. Prices are very low but you'll be asked to bag your purchases at the window to avoid delaying the checkout of the next customer.

A lot of stuff they sell doesn't taste great, especially vegetables.
Dallas Fort-Worth?
In Germany we had pretty much the same sentiment about Aldi in the 80s. Meanwhile in brick&mortar retail everything but discounters (Aldi, Lidl, ...) is downward trending for years.
Well, polish your resume. Sounds like your job actually could be replaced by a computer.

> No, it really isn't. Because if she signed, then he's basically free to cheat on her at will, and there really isn't anything she can do about it.

As far as I understand the Reddit post, the post-nuptial agreement is only about his new business venture and not about other, existing assets. So he still has something to lose, if they divorce.

If you don't like the terms, don't sign the sheet

Thankfully many guys younger than I are waking up to the reality of marriage. Unfortunately my generation was fed the bullshit about "God's plan". The truth of marriage and divorce needs to be communicated to all young men lest we continue to end up broke and unable to see our children.
Broadcast wireless (including LTE and WiMax) obviously doesn't scale. Point to point wireless can make far better use of the spectrum, but requires a lot more equipment at the endpoints and doesn't scale to large numbers of customers as easily as broadcast wireless. It's much closer to wired connections both in terms of cost and performance, but is fairly rare because it doesn't have a compelling business case except in cases like yours where the simple straightforward reliable wired solution is unavailable.
Rather than run monolithic Jenkins with a kagillion jobs in it that will easily bog down, you could consider running distributed Jenkins in which each team, or even each microservice, gets its own Jenkins Cluster with a small number of slaves and a small number of jobs. See my earlier post in this thread where I posted a YouTube video of the method I use for doing this using a CloudFormation template.

Also, when you say that your developers don't understand groovy, you could teach them how to ding make targets inside of their docker containers. That's the pattern we use at DoorDash... very minimal Jenkins scripting which exists to ding make targets inside Docker images.
Rust isn't a panacea. Research funding should go towards exploring a wide array of subjects. Doing anything else ends up with a monoculture.
Yep. I have to wonder whether the iPhone X is just Apple's way of taking advantage of the customer segment that is price insensitive and actually wants to spend more to get an iPhone that is rarer as sort of a status symbol.

The Wall Street Analysts may have just misunderstood what Apple was actually trying to do when they made their first sales estimates.
can't offer advice for you specifically, but if I were in your position (with enough money), I'd:

1. set aside a month for planning; to-do, to-read, etc. try to get a jump start to see what works and what doesn't work.
2. come EOM, are you excited about what you've got lined up? if so, take it month-by-month and keep some record of your progress. if not, you may want to talk to someone - perhaps a therapist.
3. when you do reenter the professional world, try to maintain a strict balance between work and personal time (and space!). too much bleed here burns the candle from both ends, and not in a good way.
This blog is always worth a read.
You made a good point about marriage being a financial agreement. I feel many young people are not fully aware of what they are going into when they get married (me included). There's a lack of education.

Then when they get into the real world and have an understanding of how sometimes unbalanced divorce law can be, they are like "wait, how did this happen".
Not implying.

But if you see correlation, it is logical to investigate for a possible causation.
