They did suggest that, but I didn't see anything measurable in terms of "usefulness". Not to mention that's a context dependent criteria. So I don't really know how you would measure it to begin with. That's why I am saying it is ripe for bias being introduced. Perhaps these findings are completely legitimate, but I'm skeptical.

You are reading what you want into this article, without thinking critically.

The article states that 1% of Europe's reserves are in yuan, and they increased it by $611 million, which is about 1% of that 1%. Meaning 0.01% of the total 6.9 Trillion.

And furthermore, the US has not really been printing money. It has been going into debt, to similar effect, but not to such an extent that the overall price levels are being affected. The price of a loaf of bread is still about the same from year to year.

There are particular industries that are seeing rising prices, like healthcare, education, and real estate as a result of many factors, none of which involve the money supply.
I thought that was Reddit is for. The /r/Cryptocurrency subreddit exactly serves this purpose.
Musk Gets Long-Term Tesla Deal – With No Salary or Bonus
The "rant" is an attention getter, no more no less, a bit of theater. Once everyone is paying attention, then the real purpose begins. Yes, there are other ways of doing it, but I would argue that none, are even remotely as effective gaining the necessary focused attention.

Hi Sarrah, I raised it with the UX team in a feedback email a while ago.

It's not just an issue with merge requests or issues, it's more of a general thing – the colour palette and typography do not make GitLab easy to scan in the same way that GitHub is. I find it requires much more mental overhead to parse GitLab.
> The stock is near its all-time high and has returned a staggering 22% annually since 2000.

I was interested by this, so I checked.

It's indeed near it's all-time high. Though this is not surprising, it's the case for many companies that aren't dwindling currently, and that didn't have huge peaks around 2000.

But to say it's had a 22% annual return since 2000 is a bit of a misrepresentation. The overall return between 2000 and 2018, divided over the 18 years, might be 22% YoY (not sure, I didn't check -- could well be that it's not). But it's had a number of years with negative returns (e.g. 2015), certainly not 22% returns.

Edit: I checked. A yearly 22% growth from 2000 to today would put it quite a bit higher than its current stock price. So it's not a 22% YoY growth.
I don't. Having to agree to yet more 'privacy' policies and succumb to tracking and other rights violations by the big social media platforms just to be able to recieve important messages from our government is, well, extremely stupid. The government must have a reliable way to do this. They don't, so they are trying to take the 'easy way', and that's a failure on their part.
How to Fix Uber in Six Not-So-Easy Steps
It seems almost a given that whenever the term "smart" is applied to anything, it's something that tries to monitor, monetise, or otherwise resist your attempts at controlling it --- instead, it attempts to control you.

This is accurate for niche drugs, but the business model for producing generics isn't solely one in which small players exist.

Large omnibus generics manufacturers almost always have a larger industrial base and better chemical engineers than one-off drug producers. If the drug has a fairly stable high volume demand, they can finance expenditures for approval, then leverage their production and distribution networks to produce substantial margin even if they dramatically slash prices.

> even calculus dull and uninspiring

Calculus is totally based on the teacher. I had an awesome Calculus teacher (He actually was a Physicians Assistant and had degrees from Yale and Harvard but volunteered at my small Christian School). He taught me first class why calculus was awesome by challenging use that everything else in math was fake numbers. Showed us the difference between 1/3 and 0.33333 and studying the speed of two trains word problem was always wrong. He than stated that with Calculus you could see the world as we see it. We than used functions all semester long that would eventually get "exact" and it was an awesome ride. To bad we had 3 students and the other 2 were total math geniuses and got perfect math scores on their SATs. They always made me feel like an idiot.
Indeed a good product!

I agree, I use DuckDuckGo as my main search engine and its awesome except for things that are newish.

I think the idea here is that suspension is easy (fans are enough for that), and the tricky part is pulling from "backwards", which this system does as indicated by the last few seconds of video.

We're definitely doing a lot with Kubernetes, especially within CD, but it's not completely exclusive. We usually provide powerful primitives that can be used for anything, but make it easier if you're using Kubernetes.

Take monitoring for example. You can add Prometheus monitoring to (nearly) anything. But if you happen to use it with Kubernetes, we'll grab a bunch of data automatically. If not, you may have to configure it yourself.

We are one of those Perl shops. The reasons why we're still using it are: old codebase started in 2004, >95% rewritten, the language is stable, fast enough and it scaled well for our needs after we rewrote the web services using Mojolicious. I'd also pick Perl any day over PHP or Python.

We also write a fair amount of Javascript on the frontend but moving the backend to Node.js doesn't add any benefits. It just makes things harder, having to track constantly moving targets, using many different tools to accomplish the same jobs, having to fork stuff just to get it to work properly.

> How mant times can you get the 20-40% salary increases ? Very soon you will hit the band ceiling

It would require taking on more responsibility, and moving up in roles.

Two points of clarification:

* This is in high demand markets.

* Pay = salary and bonus.

I'm not advocating job hopping, but if you purely want to maximize your income, you'll get a bigger increase taking a promotion at a new company (where you have more leverage to negotiate) then you will at your current company.

> did his finger to nVidia in any way improve relations between Linux & nVidia

Purely anecdotal evidence, but in my experience the few pieces of hardware that I can generally bet they'll be fine with Linux are those branded Intel or NVidia (one may argue about the "optimus" thing, but if you want CUDA on a Linux laptop, nvidia's drivers do their job fine in the end, and this is what most Linux users will care about I guess)

Dunno the mechanics of it, but some things did work up just right about this :)

Most of the results on DDG come from external sources such as Bing and Yahoo.
I think there's an implication in your thought process that the 'bitcoin original' value, which you bought into, goes to $0. This would constitute a capital loss, and you would have gains up from $0 on the secondary blockchain ('bitcoin improved'). This would seem reasonable to me, as it's essentially a wash. The only thing that would muddy the whole thing up is the holding period for short term and long term capital gains.
So the prices change based on who's looking at them? What if two people are looking at them at the same time? How does this work?

Google’s Vision for Mainstreaming Machine Learning
> I could argue that there are actually two kinds of hard forks, one where there is some change to the underlying protocol (Bitcoin Cash) or reallocation of funds (undoing the DAO hack) that, at least in the eyes of the authors, increases the utility of the new network more than the negative effect of the split. If the total network value rises then, in a rational market, it means that the utility did increase.

I think this is exactly correct from an economic perspective. But I think that in the heavily speculative market it will take a while for the market to actually converge into the state that you describe.

I'd argue that right now there is virtually no disincentive for doing hard forks, except perhaps for the friction entailed in getting it listed on Coinbase. If a hard fork "launches" with a low price, many speculators will simply view it as a buy opportunity, whereas if it launches with a high price, it has already achieved some level of legitimacy.

This is because hard forks that are effectively governance changes are not really purchased for fundamentals-based reasons at this point, because the governance aspects of BTC have really not been tested much to date.

I actually have in mind a few very interesting hard forks if you would like to collaborate and attempt to make some money by launching these with me in the process :) I too am interested in it from a research perspective but it's very tempting to try to "add value" by launching some important hard forks that the community hasn't thought of yet.
> Btw, you can get a taste for yourself if you like; https://git.drk.sc

That's inaccessible over IPv6 along with what I presume to be the community's website (https://darkscience.net). As far as I can tell GitLab itself support IPv6 with ease, although gitlab.com doesn't (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/645) due to limitations from Azure.
The impressive thing about Amazon to me is that it thinks/acts for the longer term. I guess it's Bezos that's the driving force behind this (he funds the Long Now 10,000 year clock project after all, so must have some interest in the long term).

Very many things become possible when you think on long timescales. Things like space travel.

I know Elon Musk is the poster boy for it at the moment, but it's comforting to me at least that In Bezos there's another 'moon-shotter' who thinks on the timescales required to actually achieve such long term goals.

I know that's a bit of a tangential leap from retail stores to becoming an interplanetary species but the long term mindset behind achieving the two the same.

What you're describing is the basic shift between what lower-ed science/math is like and what "real" (college) science/math is like. The problem is that everything they teach in highschool and below needs to have an escape hatch for "what if they have anti-ADHD* but no clue what's going on?" That's why you were able to solve for v without obtaining any knowledge about the universe, and why taking discrete math did what they claimed geometry would do.

* It's kind of a stupid way to put it, but by anti-ADHD I mean sufficiently controlled behavior combined with the ability to focus on any rote task until it is completely learned (basically, whatever traits or life conditions you need to have the opposite of ADHD). No matter what, you're not allowed to fail that group.
I'd advise you to remain curious beyond what's good for your resume, especially if you want to stay sharp and ahead of the curve. Perl 6 has some neat features, particularly around grammars and parsing, that make those tools easier to use for day-to-day problems.

I was a bit confused when I followed the HN link originally.
I like Gitlab a lot, but I still struggle with things that shouldn't be hard.

For example: I have a single build box with a VM for linux, a VM for Windows, and one for OSX. When I commit, CI queues up the runners. Great. Except that there is some hard coded value of 1 hour after which the remaining jobs in the queue will get dropped. That means if a single job takes over an hour the remaining jobs will automatically fail, even if you up the job timeout limit. No error messages at all. Just failed jobs with blank logs.

You have to go in to a ruby configuration file and up the timeout to something big enough to accommodate your total time executing all runners, which means you must know that value in advance. Each update of gitlab kills that conf file so you have to log in and change it back and the stop/start the Gitlab instance.

Barter is. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

How are you dealing with the "temporary disabling" scenario?

I have Disconnect and uBlock, but then it's a pain to use sites like Quidco, that rely on tracking. Ideally one should be able to easily say "disable all protections for 20 minutes" or something like that, do what needs to be done, then after re-enabling protection the slate (cookies etc) is wiped clean (or ideally brought back where it was before the suspension).

The way I end up doing it, I must keep a browser (typically Safari or Explorer) fairly unprotected just to deal with those transactions, and use the hardened-up Firefox for everything else. That's suboptimal.

NYCLU and Columbia University have a 2016 video (starts at 2:50) about the corporate origins and privacy policy of Google's LinkNYC surveillance kiosks in Manhattan: https://livestream.com/internetsociety/hopeconf/videos/13081...

Village Voice covered the topic, https://www.villagevoice.com/2016/07/06/google-is-transformi...

This freedom to opt out entirely is also the last argument that spokespeople for LinkNYC and the city itself fall back upon when challenged with privacy concerns: If you don’t like it, you’re welcome not to use it. It’s a disheartening place to land, especially when discussing infrastructure that’s supposed to be serving people who aren’t served otherwise. To Moglen, it’s simply an unacceptable conclusion. “That’s what they want us to believe, that we have a choice between isolation and monitored connecting,” he says. “Those are not adequate choices in a 21st-century world: We are designing the net to track you — if you don’t like it, don’t use it. The human race is shifting to a fully surveilled and monitored superorganism — if you don’t like that, stop being human. That’s a poor outcome. The United States is a society that was based around the idea that human beings can have liberty. So give us liberty! And don’t tell us that otherwise we can have the death of the net.
