Because if these measures were taken, it would become common knowledge, and criminals would just switch to what's safer for their coordination. It may cast suspicion on anyone using these services, but that's not really enough.
If you want something a little hands off, I use Mail-in-a-box (https://mailinabox.email/) which does all the setup on the server for you automatically. I switched over to running my own email server several months ago and it's been working without any issues.
Yeah your moms intuition is correct but yeah perhaps she don't get just how far ML/DL is (most people aren't really)

Image/pattern recognition is already being used intensively and the only thing that keeps it from being used more is legislation and humans.

Having more than a thousand moles and having had two melanomas I am still hoping for the arrival of a system that can do complete scan of me and automatically figure out the areas of concern.

Currently I am at Sloan Memorial and using Molesafe as a more manual way to do the same. My dermatologist on of the best with regards to melanomas in the world using colonoscopy to see if there are any melanomic cells, there is even a 3model of me in blue spedos.

But I really would feel much better when they start taking the shots regularly and have the computer look for the odd ones out.

I learned mostly in college. I already had a decent understanding of computers at that point from playing games and messing around with them.

You don't need to go to college to learn how to program though. Programming is just feeding a computer instructions. Since you are working with customers on *nix, that is a place to start. Start small with things like looping over a directory of files and outputting the name. This could be done in Bash. You could pick nearly any programming language and it will have File/IO libraries that allow you to traverse a directory. Sure you could just use "ls -l" on a command line and you should to compare your results. Start small, learn different ways to loop over things. Read docs.

Its much easier to learn when you have some knowledge of the context you are learning in. Tech Support leads somewhat naturally into more of System Administration, which can have a fair amount of programming, mostly for automating things.

- Save docs of maps for later.
- Save docs of the names of place you want to go (translated into the local language and in your own language)
- Similar for a few key locations (ok - mostly the hotel).

Makes a big difference when you can't read the local language... but yeah, being connected, not needed - and I could have done all that with bits of paper.
There is no secret. Successful freelancing doesn't (typically) happen from behind your computer, you need to get out and talk to people that already know & trust you or, if there aren't enough of those, you need to build that network. I've been freelancing successfully for almost 4 years and all of my clients and projects have come in via someone that already knew me IRL.

I suppose you could be successful without that if you had a well-known brand as a developer (e.g. famous for leading some OSS project or something), but most of us are not in that situation.

I'm guessing the fact that you're using these online platforms to find jobs is because you're doing this part-time and thus don't have the time to go out and network as much. That may be so, but know that it severely impacts your ability to differentiate yourself. When you advertise on those sites, you are basically saying "I am a commodity".

Good article on How, pretty bad at describing why

# It’s Cheap

There are plenty of cheap & free DNS hosts out there.

# More Control

Every DNS host I've ever used has offered full control of DNS records. If all you've ever experienced is poor shared hosting maybe this looks is something new.

A why not section would be good

* High latency for people who do not live near one of your servers.

* Time to set up

* Cost (lots of cheaper alternatives)

* Some overhead. Running any server that is public facing has some overhead even if it's just installing patches.

Interestingly zwischenzugs.com isn't hosted on authors own DNS (maybe a restriction of wordpress.com?)
I don't understand why you think traveling by road breaks the triangle inequality. If the time/distance along roads from A to B is fastest via C, then just go via C...

I came to Ansible from Puppet and Chef because in the early days, it was way easier to get going. But with almost every release it gets worse, and so much of this is down to the YML / Jinja hybrid DSL. We have a fantastically powerful fabfile (Python/Fabric) that we include in every project, it keeps getting more powerful over time because anything we need it to do we can just write the code to do it. Our Ansible roles are a real bind to maintain though. I'll definitely take a look at Propellor recommended below, thanks.
I bet a lot of these comments come from central Europe, where Orban and his likes discovered that Soros fits well into the popular image of bad rich Jewish capitalist conspiring for world dominance. They use him to appeal to latently antisemitic voters.

And mind you, the commenters are mostly not young neo-Nazi holocaust deniers. They are old men and aging ladies, often looking back to the glorious days of communist regime. Also, they don't deny holocaust at all. Rather they regret it wasn't drawn to completion.
He used GraphiCraft for the demo, but of course it's possible he at some point later used DPaint. I do believe the reason GraphiCraft is present in the images, though, is because GraphiCraft early on did in fact use pretty much a memory dump. Several of the early graphics programs in fact didn't store a separate full copy of the bitmaps, but let you draw directly into an window on the screen, and relied on AmigaOS to preserve any sections temporarily covered by other windows.

But DPaint at least let you paint under the title bar.

Later versions of GraphiCraft did use IFF, as Commodore wholly embraced the format once EA released it.

That's a pretty pessimistic look at things. It sounds like something that could be pretty easily resolved with communication. Setting expectations for one another that have been clearly communicated. I know plenty of happy married couples where the man is the primary breadwinner and the woman is the homemaker. We are a sexually dimorphic species and have optimized our brains and physiology for that separation of labor. It is pretty obvious through something as basic as muscle mass.

Men want to be the provider. Men take pride in that and I think that is a good thing. While I think most men are alright with their wives working, especially when the children get older and don't need as much attention, they'd prefer to be able to make enough to let their wives do as they please. While attempting to become financially independent enough to spend as much time with his family as possible.

Perhaps this is a bit of a rosy view, but I think that it is much easier if couples swim with the stream of biology than attempt to fight against it.
Dropping loc requires an accurate token based diff, which requires fast language parsers. While there are such projects, non of them are widely adapted - in contrary with the notorious loc.

I think Facebook and Google enable populism. George Soros doesn't like that, because if populism took care of everything they wouldn't need his billions funding organizations that seek to start populist movements that promote his values and narratives.

The main narrative that Soros promotes is "nationalism is racism" and the corralary "strong states are fascist". This is why he is unpopular with nationalist governments in Eastern Europe for example that reject EU immigration rules and why he attempts to undermine those government's legitimacy in Hungary for example. He can pay for media campaigns to support his positions and he can exert influence financially over media networks, but he can't control the masses on social media which thwart his vision.

That's the first thing that guy has said that isn't totally batshit insane. But yes, am always suspicious of that guy and his motives--there's just too many allegations flying around about him and his organization keeps getting disinvited from whole countries.

Because any leisure is a personal choice which you can choose to do or not if you really are worried that you can't get in contact with your nanny then don't go to the concert where they require you to not bring it, don't go to the movies, don't go anywhere you can loose connection and don't go flying.

It's perfectly fine if you don't want to take that chance but it's hardly an argument for why someone shouldn't do a show where they ban cellphones.
You were hired to help fix the problem not add to it.
No rewrites, no major refactors yet.

Fix bugs, for every bugfix add a regression test so it never happens again. Find a list of the most recent bug fixes, findout if there is a common pattern. If so, target that.

Are there code reviews? If not start one. Is there a coding standard? If not start one. With code review & standards in place. Start adding small tests. Small refactors with tests only.

Are there things that need to be done in a specific order most of the time? Document it, build a checklist.

Are there good logs? If not, add them.

The difficult work right now is not technical but social. The team needs a good process and to follow a best standard.

It's gonna be tough, cultures are difficult to change, but be patient and remind yourself. You were hired because they have problems not because they want to give away free money or help you out with a job.
When to Use Pair Design   Four Techniques to Try Today
YouTube is at least 2x as bad as Facebook is in terms of indulging you in your addiction to whatever crazy conspiracy theory you want today (which is saying a lot). Facebook is perhaps better at exposing you to your neighbor's crazy conspiracy theory.

Somehow Google has managed to capture all of the profit from YouTube with none of the political/brand consequences by keeping the brand separate. It's working in the mass media and shockingly it's also somehow working in the minds of tech workers. Everyone talks about Facebook and Twitter but I rarely hear about YouTube even though I suspect they are way more influential with younger crowds.

Nobody said anything about not being able to live.

But if people attending your 3 random examples had known a mobile phone, perhaps they'd have chosen the convenience over (worst case) spending some of the concert trying to find their friends. We can't know.
This is a pretty uncontrovesial opinion. A lot of both pro and con network neutrality advocates will agree on that what we actually need is more competition, rather than more regulation.

In fact those that oppose network neutrality will use this very argument to assert that network neutrality should be repealed and all efforts should be made to advance competition and investment instead.

Too bad that when it comes to actually enabling that competition there's a deafening silence.
Most of the comments here focus on Protobuf but the other half of gRPC is HTTP/2, and HTTP/2 is very complex.

Good luck implementing a half-decent HTTP/2 client or server library if your language doesn't support it already. This is easily a 6 months job.

The other issue with HTTP/2 is that most client libraries require TLS to work. Development environments become harder to setup. It becomes harder to sniff the traffic during debugging. In client/server scenarios where both are on the same machine this also creates unnecessary overhead.

When I was at Google, we were a de facto monopoly on search so we were subject to more stringent regulation. I do believe we were effectively treated as a monopoly on search.

(Yes, this does have consequences down to the individual developer level)

OFF3R Index: Another Record Breaking Year for Alernative Finance Platforms
Ironically, many of these managers who find it so difficult to focus on the meetings they're supposed to be leading are are terrible at email as well. Either they flat-out can't write, or mis-use the medium altogether for things that should be handled face-to-face.

Communications technologies can make good people better, but they can also amplify the incompetence of people who owe their current positions to the Peter principle.
This will change.

The 2257 law follows the legal reasoning that as a porn producer, you have the burden of proving your innocence. You have to show the proof that the person in your image or video is a real, live _adult_ person, and if you cannot, it is assumed that the person is a real, live _child_ person.

A landmark case will come along where a jury will decide that this new technology introduces reasonable doubt into this thinking. When this happens, the _government_ will then have the burden of proving that the person in the video or image is a real, live _child_ person.
> included a letter he had written in 2000 to VDare, a white-nationalist website, suggesting among other things that black people are innately less intelligent than white people. Later that week, a spokeswoman for The Times issued a statement saying “after reviewing the full body of Razib Khan’s work, we are no longer comfortable using him as a regular, periodic contributor.”

Do you think there's science backing up that "black people are innately less intelligent than white people"?
The power has already been grabbed by Google and Facebook. The only question is whether the public will have some oversight or whether it will allow so much power (probably much more than that held by the Robber Barons of the infamous Gilded Age) to be held by corporations.
While not a huge deal in that both satellites seem to have reached an orbit (even if not exactly the desired orbit), it's worth noting that NASA picked the Ariane 5 as the launch platform for the JWST at least partially because of its extreme reliability. It would be a damn shame to lose an $8.8B instrument in development for over 23 years due to a launcher malfunction.
I don't wish that. How many DevOps people you know that can grok Haskell? There is a reason why Ansible is so popular, the barrier to entry is so low and that's the way it should be.

>"It's a bit of a mystery why this is happening,"

Not really. Most of the people I know in that age group, including myself are too poor to even think of buying a home now or in the near future. I personally haven't moved in 7 years because if I do my rent will jump from $1200 a month to something closer to $2000 for something similar where I live now. These days in my city $1200 will be lucky to get you a bachelor suite. I'm just lucky my rent's never been raised since I moved in.
Certainly. And upgrading from v2 to v3 was mostly painless.
> Some of the most antisemitist states in WW2 had lots of Jews surviving German occupation (see France)

I don't think that France would qualify as one of the most antisemitist state of WW 2. Since Dreyfus affair at the beginning of the XXth century, antisemitism was less and less prevalent. But I agree that having a unoccupied zone for most of the war and keeping most state institutions helped saving most of the Jews living in France before the war.

They're common on highways in large cities in the US.

They're supposed to be enforced through police. They'll give you a ticket if your caught not riding with enough people in the car.

The police rarely monitor it in the bay area, in my experience. Many people they don't meet the requirements ride in it anyway.
I think remote work is a benefit when you’re sitting in a cubicle farm 8 hours a day, some days of the week. I’m much, much happier when working from home and can focus much better when it’s required. Definitely not a “taxable benefit”, though, in the sense that you get a decreased salary in exchange for it.

You bring up very good points about working 100% remote, though. It should not constitute a decreased salary unless you’re not working full time remote.

If I were you I’d try to negotiate for the employer to pay for gigabit internet and buy you a nice new PC, then just take those things off the total compensation. Nice thing being that those things are now pretty much tax-free income for you. You’ll be saving on commuting costs, too. Also calculate what you can write off for a home office.
The Smart Phone News: iPhone X Specifications and Features
Thanks from me too, this looks great. I also knew immediately why the SVG looks wrong on Firefox because I had the same problem before - The text is 'live' text and not stroked to paths. It's a pain to do if you have a lot of text content, but if you can click on text in an SVG and discover it is still editable, it won't render correctly for many viewers. Once you are sure there are no typos, stroke all text to paths and it will look perfect on any browser.

Another angle worth considering is the economics of porting titles. If you take full advantage of specialized hardware like the PS3 had, it could have a strong influence on the implementation of games- possibly even pushing down to choices in aesthetics and game mechanics. As a result it may be very difficult to get a comparable experience on another console.

If a game is designed and written to more-or-less cater to a common denominator it is more straightforward to later port the game to other consoles or PCs- including platforms that might not exist at the time the original game was created- and mop up sales from those other userbases.
This is not really a great idea. It's just adding more brittleness to your system. Leave DNS to people with distributed DNS networks and redundancy.

I mean obviously you can do it if you want to, I'm not stopping you, but to me it's silly.
Ask HN: What ideas have you had, only to see someone else go onto execute?
I'm sure many of us have had ideas for products or services, but either executed them poorly ourselves, or never pursued them at all, only to see someone else run with a similar idea and execute it successfully.

For my contribution, I thought up the idea of buffering the audio from discmans in a digital chip to prevent disruption when the discman was jostled. Discmans eventually added this feature, and of course now everything is on a chip instead of a moving disc. Another idea I once had was to interconnect radar detectors with a communication network in order to provide advanced-warning to drivers further behind you on the road. I believe some firm eventually brought this to market, but Waze seems like a superior solution.

I'm curious what ideas you've had that others have gone on to execute.

Review of comparisons between abstracts and full reports in biomedical research
the urban legend is that they were developing and testing tmux inside of screen, which is why they needed a different prefix
It's half true now. Google used to help you find your way on the web, but now it's your world third eye. There's not really information outside google anymore. It will parse it, synthesize it in cards, connect it to local areas, pop up videos about it, etc etc.
Tmux is awesome. Although I never understood why they used ctrl-b instead of ctrl-a as the default though - incompatible with screen and hard to reach with one hand.
