Yes [I explicitly spelled out desktops & laptops] but it's been true on my servers too.

> If this is a service, why are you paying for RAM that never gets used? Get a smaller instance.

Not all providers are so flexible. I may want a server with more CPU & traffic and some additional disk space. Going there gets me more RAM too. It turns out these services are constrained by the real hardware. If I'm getting a box with enough CPU for my needs, well they are not going to a shop to buy that special box for me, they use what they have and what they have comes with plenty of RAM too.
If they can combine that with a washer/dryer, I'd buy it. Dirty laundry in, folded laundry out. Doesn't matter how long it takes, can work overnight. But the video doesn't look like that would work anytime soon.

Check out ICOs... They are a bit scammy but deal with liquidity and resell. Second I would say is allow share purchase at a discount... This is better than options and filters out employees who don't care.

I worked for a large company that paid for my MBA, and then I was caught up in a mass layoff immediately after graduating. Strange. Still working as an individual contributor Software Engineer (albeit a well paid one) all these years later. Can't seem to land a lead position.
>If something is a rule then the majority decided it should be that way.

Few systems are direct democracies. Isn't it more likely the people decided the rule maker should be who the rule maker is (or makers are) and the rule maker(s) then decided what the law should be. And that is just some of the political systems you can model.

Think of like how congress like a <25% approval rating but most of them keep getting voted back in.
Never forget that Facebook has "tweaked" its newsfeed to specifically make hundreds of thousands of people feel sad and depressed for days or months, just to see if they could. And then they bragged about how great they are in a published paper that violated all ethics and morals worldwide.

Why will I see less video, and more from friends? Because I won't be on facebook.

Edit: From FTA:

> But the other is a lot of the research that we've done and the research that's out there in the field and in academia that we've read suggests that online interacting with people is positively correlated with a lot of measures of well-being, whereas passively consuming media content online is less so.

They do their own research on users, by modifying their news feed and measuring their emotions with sentiment analysis. You are not just a product they sell, you are also a product they experiment on. It's not worth it.

Edit 2: On the secret psychological experiments that Facebook executes to torture your mind: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/30/technology/facebook-tinke...

So true. Or if they get sick and you wonder when it'll hit you too – in an hour, tomorrow or in a week. Having 2 kids is, at times, the most stressful and anxiety-inducing thing I ever did in my entire life.
I just want to know one thing: is Dropbox a sufficient backup strategy to prevent this problem? Obviously it's enough to prevent a naive ransomeware. Can they get around Dropbox's automatic 30 day version history by some means? They can presumably have total control over my account.
Probably being accused of an incredible crime when I was a teenager.

Backstory: I'm nobodies favourite person. Especially in school; I was very poor, smelled like cigarrettes and quite awkward to be around in general, I don't blame anyone for any of the bullying but one thing affected me more than everything else. I don't want to go into detail about what rumour ended up burning my world down, but it was enough that the mere mention of it got me expelled and a police investigation was headed up against me.

Obviously, that investigation was fruitless as it was just rumours, however, it took nearly a year and I missed my GCSE exams (Without which you can't get a job essentially) by this point and there was no way another school would touch me.

Being accused like that, being treated like that, it broke me. I thought I was the lowest rung of society already, but how people acted after that rumour was spread, how even when I was proven innocent the police still had obvious disgust when looking at me. It taught me that no matter your circumstances it can be worse. People knew nothing of me but were glad to accept that I was a demon and they would not be dissuaded. It meant that preconceived notions are hard to sway and charisma and charm are the only currency that truly matter.

That arrest is still on my record and when I attempted to visit Canada recently it was flagged as a reason to deny me entry if I didn't submit proof that I was not convicted.

I am a different person today, being broken down like that meant I had to reassemble myself into a person I wanted to be. Being cast aside meant I lost my roots and could go anywhere (well, not Canada :P), learn anything, be anyone.

I invented myself out of that, to the person I would prefer to be.

In fairness, the thesis is dated 1975, and it remains a useful thought experiment due to its simplicity.
This! Except without the burn out, and I'd move "sales" from last to first.

Looking back, being more involved in B2B sales (aka straight on the battle lines) has been absolutely instrumental for my growth.

There's this stereotype (true for me) that us techies need to get better at listening to people, spotting and reconciling conflicting interests, motives and objections. Finding common grounds. An increase in empathy, balanced by a scary loss of ego. Do words like "business value" and "process" sound like pointy-haired mumbo-jumbo? They did to me, a decade ago.

There's nothing like your livelihood on the line to give self-improvement a little urgency.
I have to say that this is almost completely the opposite of what I want from Facebook, given that "cringe memes and clickbait" is an orthogonal issue. To me, great value lies in the opportunity for people to organize into smaller communities and post various things about those communities, be they political or not, and at the same time being able to receive feedback (in the form of comments). Unfortunately, the sad truth is that this is the only platform for such an activity for most of those communities.
I feel like the goals are framed incorrectly relative to the context. What's most important is not that B is above C, and A is above B, but that C is on the bottom. If framed that way, you can work backwards from the base case.

I 100% agree with what Benjie said. With things like schema stitching (see https://blog.graph.cool/graphql-schema-stitching-explained-s...) it's getting super simple to compose GraphQL APIs and therefore use PostGraphile as a "GraphQL database".

Static GraphQL bindings even allow to take this even a step further by mapping the GraphQL API capabilities to your (typed) programming language. This kind of gives you a typed "GraphQL ORM" without the typical downsides of a ORM (performance, API limitations etc).

If you're interested, this blog post further describes these concepts: https://blog.graph.cool/reusing-composing-graphql-apis-with-...
Yes I should’ve mentioned this. Thanks! Love my yubikey and would reccomend it to others.
Nationalism is in direct conflict with a world government. Even if we take the lightweight version of this in the form of the U.N. - nations do not universally accept the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Wealthy+industrialized+militarized countries who are U.N. charter and Geneva Convention signatories, violate those agreements when it suits them.

The conditions by which nations voluntarily joined the League of Nations (what eventually became the U.N.), and were willing to ceded national sovereignty, was WWI and WWII. All deaths are measured in the millions: just the Axis military deaths was multiple millions, total causalities upwards of 80 million.

A world government will take two things, in my opinion: an event that demonstrates such betrayal by national governments, that makes them partly or entirely illegitimate by their very nature; the ensuing catastrophe is not so bad that organizing a world government is rendered impossible.

> 3.) During most of the Cold War there were two main actors with nuclear weapons. There are now at least 9. [1] If instability in the US breaks trust in the nuclear umbrella I would expect that number to increase rapidly. Even the US/NK standoff is a multi-polar problem, something that seems to have escaped most US-based commentators.

The UK developed nuclear weapons in 1952, France in 1960, and China in 1964. At the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis (the height of the Cold War), there were 4 nuclear weapons states.
Well this was an unpleasant read with an unsatisfying conclusion
Ok, then the UX for launching a missile warning should be 2 people performing a simultaneous key turning action after decoding the missile defense warning key code coming from management.

Launching ICBMs has a completely different reason for requiring multiple people and a hierarchy, because 1 person shouldn't be able to unilaterally destroy a city.

That is a completely different problem than "someone can't be bothered to remember what button to push, or to read and comprehend a simple dialog box".
I've heard of different "kinds" of Lasik. Do you know which "kind" you had done? (That's a loaded question as I'm not even sure I'm asking the question correctly).

> We need world government with real power in order to solve this problem, just as national government has solved it for more local issues.

The problem with world government is that you would need sign on by literally everyone, permanently. As soon as you had a serious disagreement and tried to enforce it against a sufficiently powerful country without their consent, we would have at best the dissolution of the world government and at worst World War III. The American Civil War at world-scale is not a pretty picture.

The system we have now works much better than that. When someone is cheating, the countries that don't like it put sanctions on them until they stop. The sanctions aren't severe enough to fight a war over but they cost more than the cost of doing the right thing, which resolves things for all but the most obstinate countries.

The problem with climate change seems to be that countries lack the will to actually use those methods. If most of Europe and China got together and signed an agreement to all put sanctions on any country that didn't meet a per-capita carbon emissions target, that would be the end of it. But apparently they don't have the stones to actually do it.
This just reinforces the idea that Facebook has long jumped the shark -- they think their role is to orchestrate your interactions with friends. Not looking forward to 'ostracism-as-a-service'...
This article and many comments here completely misses the bigger picture.

Robots is only one way for AI to be expressed. To expect us to be much further ahead with robots shows how wrong most discussions about robots are.

In most industrial settings, robots is the standard and works just fine, in an increasing number of warehouses and other semi controlled environments it's gaining popularity.

Consumner robots ai needs to be much more generalized for them to feel "smart" as they are in much less predictable environments.

To expect consumer robots to be much further than they are makes no sense. Thats not where the primary progress is made just yet and no one maybe besides media and a few opportunistic companies are under that illusion.
Just to get started you would read the first chapter or two.

This solves the problem by searching the graph of reachable states (and presumably doing cycle detection, at least in depth-first mode), which avoids the problem of picking an unsuitable sub-goal by considering all possible ones. While this is a perfectly good solution, it doesn't seem to throw much light on how human intelligence works. A person is likely to notice, for example, that extending any stack that does not have C on the bottom is not helpful, without mentally running through all possibilities, but just on the basis that it will have to be torn down at some point, to move the bottom block to where it belongs.
Even though I like RSS and use it daily, I think it cannot act as a replacement, since Facebook, as a platform, allows two-way communication between parties (e.g. when someone or some group shares a post, people can give feedback on it).
> 1) Is it? Can you source that claim somehow?

Only my anecode. I've had systems become annoyingly sluggish because the OS decided I no longer need something and paged it out, even tough I had plenty of RAM. Turns out I needed that something.

> 2) It does help you, that's the point. It makes your disk reads faster

I just gave my numbers. The systems are not caching nearly as much as I have ram. These numbers come from systems I use every day; they are not idle.

> 3) Your answer to needing memory is 'buy more ram', but you 'may have a use for that disk space'? Buy more disk.

Why are people so hell bent on telling me I should use swap that doesn't actually help me at all? Yes I buy as much as disk as I need, and I'm not putting unnecessary swapfiles or partitions on them. Yes I also buy as much RAM as I need.

The only real justification I see for swap here is that it's cheaper -- poor man's RAM. I call that emergency memory for when you can't have enough RAM. If I have enough memory, swap is completely pointless.
I have less problems with the subscriptions, but with their proprietary file format. All I want to do is edit text files and maybe convert them to blog posts. It's impossible, since Ulysses doesn't seem to support batch exporting multiple files to Markdown.

In Italian it is called "scolapiatti", it may well have been patented in the US and be a Finnish invention (in the form suspended over the kitchen sink), but in Italy it has been a traditional tool since dishes were invented, it used to be an outside piece of furniture, more like a basket:

until houses had water (and thus sinks), I believe that as soon as sinks were installed in kitchens, the one or the other form of "scolapiatti" became in use, this is an early, primitive, type:

Yes, emulators are legal. But we all know that the overwhelming use of them is in illegal situations.

EDIT: Since this comment is currently sitting at -2 points, I figured I would expand on my rather glib comment. From Nintendo's website:

>whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet.[1]

What percentage of emulators are only used to play homebrewed games or commercial games that an individual has personally backed up? Almost all other uses are illegal.
