I was told once that today's concrete has a much higher background radiation than brick and mortar from before the 50s. There is also more steel in data centres.

However, I'm not at all sure if background radiation of building materials is even in the right order of magnitude to matter here. Probably not.
Sure. But keep that set to the absolute minimum.

Journalisms biggest Achilles Heel is its insistence on the concept of quality journalism and the idea that normal people care and especially care enough to pay for it.

Let's not forget that fundamentally, journalism is little more than verified gossip (Have you heard that the UN Secretary is involved in a scandal) and its primary value is not in how it's written but the revelation of the piece of information in itself.

Sure we have investigative journalism, but most people aren't going to pay for that.

So at the end of the day, the only people who really care about journalism are journalists themselves.

The biggest change in journalism IMO is that it's finally become clear that the postmodernist was correct.

Context and perspective define truth. And so all transparency in journalism will ever do is attract the people who already agree with the context and perspective of the individual journalist as loyal readers.

Helping journalism it wont.
Beans are good carbs because the carbs in them are linked to fiber and so they make you feel more full, and also don't give you the blood sugar spikes that refined carbs do.
I want the 5K imac on a standing desk pretty badly but its insanely expensive.
This. I used to maintain a software project that consisted of a few inter-communicating services on clients' windows machines (not just servers, but that would have been optimal). The most difficult part of making a sale was getting the implementation guys to correctly install these components, issue a self-signed key from the machine's local CA, and bind it to the local dns/ssl port. Not to mention most people don't even really understand how/why certificates work, so if they ran into the tiniest snag it was going to completely block progress until a developer could take a look. Barf.

Working with certificates on Windows in general is error-prone and difficult to automate (this coming from someone who spent more than a decade developing in .NET).

I think it's multiplication. The odds are low but the number of potential instances is larger. Data centers have larger numbers of machines and those machines are doing repeated work where you observe the result.

Personal machines are typically limited by what your senses can handle. There are few of them for starters. They idle a lot. If many pieces failed inexplicably it's not likely to be something you are personally paying attention to with your senses.

(I have personally observed ram and disk failures on personal machines anyway. And I have seen stuff in my dmesg indicating hardware faults on my personal desktops, but rarely in a way that I notice in actual use not looking at dmesg.)

My proposal is only 50% for inheritance above the limit (and likely 0%) under the limit. So if you want to leave $6M, and the limit is $5.95M then taxes are due only $0.05M. that's just $25k in taxes on a $6M wealth transfer.
If the problem is row-hammer style attacks on the TLB that let you map userspace writable pages into the kernel address space then any kernel entries remaining in the TLB when userspace is running are going to be a security hole. The problem won’t be a process writing to the kernel entry (that would be forbidden by existing code / hardware) but a process updating it’s own TLB entries in ways that corrupt adjacent kernel ones. PCID doesn't help you here - indeed it hurts, because it means there are more TLB entries from the hypervisor or other virtual machines remaining in the TLB to be corrupted!

Who keeps a running, unbounded log of all connections in memory?

I’m not a pythonista, so please forgive my ignorance here, but: is this just the default configuration for Django? Does it ship out-of-the-box with adapters to log that to MySQL or similar instead? Why does it not log the last n connections for some sane (and configurable) default value of n instead?
I know this is not on topic, but I find this statement hilarious:

"Text has been easier for A.I. to handle, because words have discrete characters — 26 letters, in the case of English."

This is like claiming the reporting (and being a reporter at NYT) is easy as it deals only with 26 letters.

%10 refined sugar is still too much. The best level is zero or very close to it.
This was a common thing used when the first word processors came out. They called it 'micro-kerning' and it involved slight adjustment of the letter and word spacing. The fit of characters is called 'kerning' and it increases readability - and also the ability to create pages with the copier's ID findable. The document source would create a novel document for each person, and if they leaked it and it was reproduced in a paper, the character spacings could lead to the leaker.
This was also used with synonym use as a guise. Most spy types would sanitize their docs with a scanner and paraphrase many of the words.

Move.

It would be hard to replace the job you have, but you can find many places to live in the U.S. with better amenities than your spot, but much lower cost of living than the Bay Area.

New Hampshire, for instance, has no income tax and a vibrant scene around Manchester. Nobody ever picks up litter on the side of the highways and the winters are tough but you are 50 mi from the beach, from some prominent mountains, Boston, etc.

You might accept some income tax (less than SF) and get warmer weather and move to the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina where there are many smart people doing interesting things.

If you like to ski there is Salt lake City.

Work out the factors that matter to you, pick a place, and move there. Give it a six months or a year or so and move to someplace else if you hate it.

I left my job early in 2017, did an internship for a few months, moved to another country at the same time, lost the job I was supposed to get after the internship, came back to my home country, and got another job. I'd say I've done my "year off", looking for stability at the moment.

I like the idea though. The thing is, I'm not super self-motivated to work on programming. It's fun when I'm getting paid, but when I'm not getting paid I'd rather play outside. I'm a lot more interested in management-type stuff, running projects and working at a higher level. Any idea how to practice that on your own time? So far my best idea is to throw parties and activities for my friends, which is fun, but hard to put on a resume.

A problem with this is regarding anonymous sources, in which it's often necessary to protect the identity of the source.

Perhaps some sort of verification network, in which one news outlet is randomly assigned another outlet who must also independently verify the anonymous source?
Do you have a link?

I'd expect the incentives to be a bit more complicated than that, and I'm also a bit skeptical that either is all that good of a solution. I'd also like to see how exactly "proactive" and "reactive" are being used here, is it about push vs pull for vulnerability notifications, or about hiring their own security researchers, or... ?

Here (http://i.imgur.com/ImdVZBI.png) is a simplified model of the systems used by a fictional online retailer. Their three systems track the flow of an order placed on their website, through their warehouse, and to the point of delivery. Each system uses its own database (MySQL for the shop, PostgreSQL for the warehouse, etc.). The systems communicate to each other via API calls (that are not shown here).

Please review the model and be prepared to discuss it with us. When we talk, we'll ask you how you would answer queries about this fictional business. These will be high-level questions and not deeply technical. We'll also want to hear your opinion of the model, its limitations, and how it could be improved.

1. Write a query to count the number of products across all orders received by the warehouse system today (the PostgreSQL database).

2. Given an order_id, how would you find its last GPS coordinates?

3. What do you think is the most serious problem among these systems, and why? (We are not looking for a specific answer, we want to know what you think is a problem.)

4. Why do you think this fictional company chose Redis for their delivery system, and is it a good choice?

Seemingly heavy handed features wouldn't be so readily despised if:

* Valve didn't shut the discussion down altogether. If the GitHub page wasn't the right place, then suggesting a forum where feedback would be appropriate and actually prompt a response would be the way to go.
* Valve (or rather, their support staff) didn't have a history of extolling the perfection of VAC while dealing with some false bans in private.
* Bans didn't have such large implications, or:
* The support and appeal process wasn't so obtuse, seemingly useless and blackboxed.

I think they'd be encouraged to take more chances with their Anti-cheat ideas if the process for fixing false positives wasn't so genetically corporate and so user-hostile.

There are lots of studies that isolate sugar, and they all find it is bad news. That is why the World Health Organization is pushing for people to greatly reduce their consumption.

And speaking of science, if the scientists have or were to determine with certainty that it is harmful, what do you think the sugar industry would do in response? Stop selling it, keep selling it but tell the public they should consume much less, or launch a devious, well-funded campaign to mislead the public?

I appreciate your analogy, food delivery is a great thing to make it a service.

But the source code analysis is not an inherent service. This can be done in house with a greater outcome. Win-win-win and one more win for security when running in-house.

My point is that it is bad to offer exclusive SaaS solutions to non-inherently serviceable problems. This is a huge fad and delusion of nowadays.
> Again, most people are NOT Instagram or Google

And, again, can we stop with these pointless comparisons? Past 1 front end server the only cost that matters is how many requests your one node can handle and how much that one node costs. If you’re not a VPS and you have your frontend http cache correctly configured, then it doesn’t matter how much smaller than Google you are, comparisons are valid (although, of course, the fewer servers you have the more you can afford to spend on them; though you probably aren’t making as much money as IG/FB/Google either...).

I would say 95% of projects are basic CRUD.
It can also be:

x <- x + 1

x := x + 1

But I guess since assignment is more frequent than equality checks, most PL designers opt for using equals. I do like R's left arrow assignment operator. If only keyboards had a default arrow character key. It would completely get rid of a class of errors based on forgetting the second equals sign.
As I was suggesting in another post, perhaps there could be some sort of system for peer review of anonymous sources? So when news outlet A wants to use an anonymous source, they request a reviewer who'll be randomly assigned from another news outlet B, then this person will independently verify the anonymous source and give their approval.

Just spitballing here.

I also do this, and also start talks asking people not to post photos of me online.

Also, I don't believe he's kept his picture off Facebook. Unless he avoids all photographs, one of his friends has posted a photo, and another of his friends has tagged him. It doesn't matter how many times you ask people not to post/tag, Facebook has very aggressively marketed this as a normal thing to do. The tag step probably isn't even necessary if he's consistently one of the only people untagged in a group photo.

I look forward to GPDR enforcement and hope it can be used to delete even Facebook's shadow profiles.

Actually, it is the smaller and midsized companies who benefit from shared food delivery services. The big ones can run it themselves and not have to pay the middleman. (Though in the end they will join the service again as it is not only a service to deliver food but also to index restaurants and order. So to have people pick your restaurant for delivery you have to join the google of food. But that is not important here.)

Point being, enterprises happily run this locally. Either as/on their cloud on premise or on their servers. Just for our team we have 300 something servers running multiple VMs. I can easily spend a few on a solution like this to do data analysis on our repos. We already have a systems team doing only tooling (build servers, jenkins, test systems, regression dashboards etc.). This would be just another thing for their list.

Having our code leave or accessed outside our premise / DMZ is much, much harder. That would pull in some very heavy discussions with the 3rd party and our legal department.
