For scraping I've used the webhose api (I am still on the free account hence when u click on the link it has a 5 second redirect). I've found it is an excellent resource and easy to use API, I highly recommend it http://webhose.io/

For the tech stack its just node.js and express on the backend and vanilla JS on the front end using webpack for bundling. I built this project really as a means to teach myself to write unit tests better and mock integration tests. In the first iterations I fed the news articles after they were scraped into Google's Natural Language Processing library to get the sentiment of the article. I scrapped this after it became too inaccurate.
Well, there's one form of long-term thinking like "let's build a device that lasts a long time," and another like "let's build a product line/customer base that lasts a long time."

Amazon's mostly interested, it seems, in just giving people more ways to interact with them, more ways to consume their content, more reasons to subscribe to Prime, more ways to get locked in as you say. Having a long view is not necessarily equal or even in the ballpark of being consumer-friendly.

I'm not sure that focusing mostly on making Fires cheap as dirt really means there's not long-term thinking going on. A buy-it-for-life tablet, of all things, probably isn't a great investment from anybody's perspective.
Agreed on the keyboard thing. Dyalog sells an APL keyboard, but it isn't ergonomic, which I need.

And "BCH proper" has identical scarcity characteristics to BTC and it's not as if the creation of BCH negatively impacted the price of BTC - suddenly a new "scarce" token was created and everyone who was holding BTC before the fork is $1600 USD per coin richer today. The scarcity aspect is purely a social construct.

Just for the record, there's another policy that says you should mind your tone when speaking to others and have some modicum of respect instead of going off like someone came at you guns blazing.

There's no reason for such an appalling level of emotional response on a forum such as this where intellectual discourse is king.
Couldn't agree more and this is coming from someone with a similar background to the original poster.

If you plan on working for a company it is almost a requirement to have some form of four year degree these days, so lacking your GED or high school diploma will be a major blocker.
There are always exceptions to the rule, but the truth is that you are going to be working and grinding harder to prove your value than any of the other candidates with a degree no matter what your skill level is.

With that being said, I've been lucky enough to interview with many managers who didn't care about a degree and who gave me wonderful opportunities. I always have a nagging feeling though that my luck is eventually going to run out and not having a degree is really going to hurt me, especially as I move higher up the ladder.

I know many disagree with Malcom Gladwell, but he made a great point in his book "Outliers" on how many of the successful people we see today who didn't go to school or whatever benefited from other things around them. These are situations that not everyone has, so to look at a Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg and use them as a model of what can be done is somewhat risky. I'm not trying to be a downer or anything as I'm all about the underdog winning, but as I've become older I've realized that when you are the underdog the odds are stacked against you. You'll end up working 100x harder just to get to the same level as the others.

If you plan on working for yourself then disregard everything up above :)

And this is only a fraction of it. Do you even work in tech? You sound like a talking head...
It's about becoming a better person, the best version of yourself.

Lodge meetings, which usually take place once a week, are the main component of Freemasonry. These meetings consist of open discussions (excluding arguments about party politics and religion), someone giving a talk or merely sharing experiences that are interesting or noteworthy (e.g. like dealing with an ethically difficult situation in everyday life).

Once a month there's a special meeting where the actual Masonic ritual takes place. This ritual basically is an allegorical play that - not unlike some meditation techniques - can help you with finding out more about yourself and about how to use your potential to live a worthwhile life.

The wins probably vary from Freemason to Freemason.

Apart from the perhaps more elusive ones like finding your purpose in life I'd say becoming more mindful, especially when it comes to ethics in everyday life is something many Freemasons would mention.

Being able to openly discuss difficult matters without fear of being judged is another benefit as well as being accepted regardless of your personal background or origin.

Freemasonry also allows you to get to know people from all walks of life and backgrounds that otherwise you perhaps wouldn't have met. Apart from being a great way to discover new ideas this can also help with becoming more tolerant towards others who don't necessarily share your background or points of view.

There are many more practical benefits, too, like becoming a better public speaker. Giving talks is encouraged and lodge meetings are a great opportunity to give talks in a comfortable environment.
Do not forget that the taxes are way different and should be accounted for in a comparison.
That’s the one I’m using, but based on today’s release page saying the Helm chart is deprecated and I should use the cloud-native GitLab chart, and based on what your link to the Omnibus chart says:

> This Helm chart is in beta, and will be deprecated by the cloud native GitLab chart.

I interpreted it as this being deprecated.

That said, great work on performance and startup times in the past months, for the first time my 2-user GitLab isn’t maxing a full core and using 6GB RAM anymore, but instead using 60% of a core and 6.3GB RAM, while site load times have gone down significantly, and startup now completes actually within of the first 5 minutes (before, Kubernetes’ readiness checker often killed GitLab before it managed to come up)

Furthermore, middle click a tab to close it. Faster and easier than hitting the small cross in the corner of the tab.

In Xorg -- the graphical environment used on a lot of Unix-like operating systems like FreeBSD and various Linux distros -- middle clicking anywhere you can type text, whether that be in a terminal, in a text editor running in a terminal, a standalone text editor, an e-mail client, an input field in a web browser, etc etc etc, will paste the text you last selected. Once you get used to that you will wonder why every OS isn't doing so by default. It's pure genius plain and simple.
This actually makes me think of a project I'm currently neck-deep in working on... Taking captured audio hardware register writes (in the form of a VGM file) and having a modern microcontroller actually replay them on an actual NES CPU.

>People have been dreaming of real electronic cash nobody can know you have or give to somebody for so long and wont give up easily.

People have mostly been dreaming of something like that you can easily use to buy regular things, and that wont land you in court if something goes wrong and they find you have it.
Hit the nail on the head, this is definitely the reason folks. Similar issue in the fintech space.
> "If obtaining X (career, significant relationship, etc.) does cure your "depression" then you didn't have clinical depression to begin with."

Depends. There's a decent amount of evidence that exercise can help reduce episodes of depression, even clinical depression. If obtaining X is obtaining a healthier body, then there's a decent chance you can help to lift yourself out of a funk by getting it. However, there's comfort in believing that something can't be helped, so I won't blame you if you don't believe me.

Y'know, I once was talking to a hiring manager about my potential job. He said something about working 10 hour days and often working weekends.

I said, "Great, I don't think this job is for me. I hope you guys do well!"

And then I got another job, and I work 8 (maybe sometimes more like 8.5) hour days and no weekends. Outside of genuine "we're on fire" operational catastrophes, which happen like once or twice a year.

> If all we're talking about is getting a small number of people a leg up

That's the wrong interpretation. It's about giving a large number of people each a personalized leg up. It's equality-inducing in the worst sense to have everyone hit the same indifferent and impersonal wall. Personalized opportunities are how you find holes through that wall.

Basically real human relationships are a safety valve in an inhumane system. Weak and distant broadcast relationships aren't.

To me it sounds like the kool-aid for those who bought it at $15-19K and now realize that the only way to see that money back is if another wave of irrational buyers creates enough demand to pump the price up.

The pro-bitcoin people endlessly repeat analogies with gold, except gold price has not been growing since its peak in 2012 and it's only used to store value by governments due mostly due to conservativeness (know a politician willing to kill his career by switching the country's gold reserves to any other security?). Aside from that, I don't see anyone else using gold instead of interest-generating assets (stocks, bonds, real estate).
Spelling error in video is a big red flag for me. "Expidited" should be "expedited".

And they'll not fight something that cuts the governments and society's tax funds?

Need to get this fixed. A bipartisan bill cosponsered by 340 house representatives is there but Paul Ryan is not allowing the vote on it. Perhaps not the limit fixed, but the backlog that's currently there for H1bs. It will be extremely beneficial for the country, for the H1bs and family, and would drive up tech wages. Literally no negatives.

Their cause is even more sympathetic than DACA. I sincerely believe if they were protesting and more politically involved, they'd easily pass it through but no noise is being made. That's a good thing personally in my opinion since I'm turned off by protests and think that it divides us, and most protesters are very aggressive and bluntly not very bright. However, protests are very effective in American History in order to make change and if I were in their position I'd say that's the best bet. Some protests seem politically manufactured and arguments easily refuted, but movements like the civil rights movements and the American Disability Act would not have been possible without protests.

How would they? What value does being "smart" add to a kettle or fridge?
The story here is not as simple as the article sounds.

The short version is Timothy Newman, the man who ended up dead, had armed himself with a gun, gone to Campbell's property with the intent of "adversely possessing" it, and draw his own gun on Campbell before Campbell fired at him.

Now this probably would not have made it to a trial, had not Campbell said to multiple people in the weeks before that he was going to “put Newman down” the next time they met.

There was a murder trial. The jury at this trial were instructed to decided between preplanned murder or innocent, did not believe either was correct, and returned no decision, resulting in a mistrial.

In lieu of a second trial, the 20-year suspended sentence was worked out between the prosecutors and the defendant's lawyers. As part of that Campbell paid Newman's wife one million dollars, and Campbell was never to go on the disputed property again (effectively giving up control of it).

The wild west is a crazy place, and justice is not always obvious.
