No. The base unit with regard to notation/prefixes is definitely the gram.

This question of whether there's a meaningful send in which the base unit is the kilogram and not the gram really confuses people and I don't know what the answer is. People eagerly proclaim (a) it has something to do with French historical convention (but, they admit when pressed, this gives it no non-trivial meaning today) or (b) it has to do with the size of the actual reference weight in France (which doesn't make sense because the second was never an object, and a meter no longer is represented by an object yet we still call it a base unit).

The only non-trivial interpretation I've heard (although it is still silly) is that the kilogram is the base unit in the sense that adding "kilo" to gram makes the derived units like the Newton the simplest. (You could define a Newton in terms of grams and, say, kilometers and seconds, or meters and milliseconds, but this would end up disturbing the other derived units even worse.) But of course, this is just a statement about the derived units.
You ingest the log partition in all machines to reconstruct the state from the log. You do this even on the machine that writes to the log, treating the log as the source of truth. Since every user would belong to one partition there would be a globally agreed ordering of their events in the log.

Basically though that makes a CP tradeoff, since a network partition that hides the primary kafka replica from some of the writers causes writes to fail.

There’s simply no way to have a globally distributed system that’s always available and always consistent, either you get inconsistency or you drop writes.
Works surprisingly well. Just one issue, since I just graduated, I do not have a whole lot of work experience so the generated resume looks empty. It would be awesome if you could use the information in the projects section as well and create a projects section.
Well, it had always taken me far less time and effort to do a nice, interactive app in Delphi than it would in HTML/JS.

For a designer, yes, I can see your point -- it's easy to use markup to make something that looks good (or at least this month's fashion for web pages good) quickly. It's when you want to add any kind of sophisticated behavior and non-standard UI (i.e. exactly why you would want to have a desktop app instead of just using a browser in the first place) where even old Delphi would be far superior. And the result would actually look like a native app, too.
That sounds like a crappy experience, I'm sorry you had to go through that. It sounds like the CEO acted very unprofessionally.

Personally I am in my late 20s and the dress code here is casual, too. I normally wear jeans and hoodies or sweaters in winter and shorts and skirts/dresses in summer. There are definitely a few people who prefer to dress more formally here (one who used to come in a suit every day, and some who had self-imposed "formal fridays") and nobody game them crap for it (aside from sometimes asking if they've got an interview :))
Because Sanskrit knowledge remains and mandalas still “mean” something when you undress. The line separating all three is thin though.

For me personally, and sorry for my view if it displeases someone, people of fashion look like they’re selling something in more way than others. This is because I met maybe too many people of fashion and/or subculture who really didn’t found their way yet and too many generic-looking men who are invaluable in their experience and deeds. I’m aware that this view is just a false negative that sometimes happens true or positive.

Some people go to college and be indebted and come out with no job or one that doesn't pay enough to pay off their debt.
Some people NEED a car to get anywhere with America's car culture.
Some people get sick or know someone who gets sick.
Some people need to support others not their own kids but a family member.
Some have disabilities whether it be physical or mental.

Have some empathy, try to see that your life is not that of another and people aren't just "lazy to save" or "spend too much". The sooner people realize America's systems and institutions need A LOT of work, the better it is for your country.

The constant touting of "I did this, it was easy, why can't you? Stop being stupid." helps nobody at all and just shows how self absorbed American culture is. Looking down at others to make themselves feel good is not evolved and as an outsider looking into American culture, I always wonder what makes America this way?

Is it the celebrity culture? Other countries have this but not to the extent of the US. You have people who are rich and famous - for being rich and famous... And they are praised by millions in your country. I'd rather be in a country where the majority can live a decent life no matter their situation and the culture of showing off your riches is actually frowned upon socially.
Sorry you're right, I added that 'no one uses it' comment on afterwards in reference to the Mega- prefix and in my exhausted state didn't parse the milli- version which indeed people do use.

Per my latter comment, it's because we don't really deal with everyday words for masses smaller than a gram, but we do for those bigger. It still holds that as far as I can think, people will go to the closest 'common term' word and then use prefixes to bridge the remaining gap (milligram, megatonne)
My early teens around when I first got a copy of GNU/Linux. Someone in a local IRC channel sold me a CD with Slackware 6 for a couple of bucks. That launched me into an intensive period of learning.

In these youthful days, when I didn't have to earn a living and school ended at 3 PM, learning stuff about hacking computers was pure in some sense, maybe because it was purely self-directed out of curiosity.
That’s an interesting idea.
"Laurence Kim Peek (November 11, 1951 – December 19, 2009) was an American savant. Known as a "megasavant", he had an exceptional memory, but he also experienced social difficulties, possibly resulting from a developmental disability related to congenital brain abnormalities. He was the inspiration for the autistic savant character Raymond Babbitt in the movie Rain Man."

This is a potentially impactful experimental result in my niche field, the physics of relativistic laser phenomena. People have been running simulations and imaging what RR would look like for years, and this looks like the first experimental result that shows it

The money shot, fig. 9 is a bit underwhelming to me though, because it is supposed to show where the "classical model" diverges from the quantum model, and I feel queesy making a trend out of three points (one point in the blue even looks like it could touch the classical model). I'd have to read into it more (will do, just not tonight). This is, however, an extremely difficult experiment to perform, hence why they only have four data points. They definitely have demonstrated that RR does occur (no duh, which is more of why it's a good paper) but I'd hold off on the claim they've really distinguished the two.

Cheers to ICL on this first.

I'm talking about being able to transfer your files between two devices sitting 10cm apart, without using someone elses servers.

This is a very basic feature, supported by everything except those spyware products which are selling customer information or those that reserve the right to do it in the future.

If reMarkable is not one of those, they should make it clear in their marketing.
I mean to be fair they might be releasing to these vendors and having them make sure everything still works as expected, which I imagine would take awhile.

It would make a very interesting society.

Mass-produced clothing would fit well. Public schools would not need to worry much about the extremes of ability. Shared mental traits would encourage a high level of trust, but identification difficulty would undermine it. With everybody having the same innate ability and interests, the pay differences between different jobs would be much higher.

They're not planning on freezing them out of search results. This is purely about whether they can advertise with AdWords.
Adwords has had all sorts of requirements for advertisers since it first started, so this isn't anything new. Google has occasionally caught flak from certain segments, in cases where they offer competing products. Google Flights comes to mind as the most obvious example.

Ticket resellers would be far too small a market for Google to actually do anything nefarious. It's just not worth risking a precedent.

I think Google also knows these concerns very well. I'm absolutely sure that they have more lawyers than programmers working on the upcoming ad blocking.

Strategically, Google owns so much of the open internet that they get plenty of benefits by, for example, improving ad quality overall. Their competitors aren't some ticket resellers that they would screw over by banning their ads. It's Facebook, Apple, and possibly Amazon with closed ecosystems.

That's why Chrome is such an excellent browser: Google's interests are almost completely aligned with someone browsing the internet. That, plus their basically unlimited money, and what's probably the world's best software dev operation meant that they easily outclassed Firefox without really trying[0]. Chrome was started at a time where native apps (and the Facebook SDK) had become superior platforms for app development: Remember Zynga? Yeah, me neither...

[0]: The "Chrome" wave of browser advancement has probably hit a sort of natural slowdown for now, which is (among other things) what allowed Firefox to catch up.

This looks really cool! A few thoughts:

1. The first thing I thought when I saw this is "How is this secure?". You're wanting to store the most sensitive information a business has - credentials + production DB. I took a look around the site + Google and couldn't find anything about security. Client side encryption of data seems like it would be good to make people comfortable with storing their data at dothub. I'm not sure if there is any use case for dothub having unencrypted data (at least not yet)?

2. "Application states" is quite a vague term, when I saw that I thought it was referring to capturing the state of a running process. "A git-like CLI for application states" is not a very compelling pitch. As others have noted, for all but the most masochistic of users, "a git-like CLI" is a negative point.

The benefit you're offering is "Snapshot production data to be able to replay in development" and "Snapshot failed CI builds to debug later". I'd recommend putting those up-front and in bold. A more compelling tagline (to me) is "Dotmesh - version control and snapshots for your production data".

rather unrelated I have just seen this article on Smart-Home Privacy, by Gizmodo¹ which at the bottom reads:

"This story was produced with support from the Mozilla Foundation as part of its mission to educate individuals about their security and privacy on the internet."

Considering the timing of both the announcement & Gizmodo piece, suddenly the line "story was produced with support from the mozilla foundation" sounds just like another ad. I wish Gizmodo / Mozilla would be clear of what Mozilla contributed. Especially because Mozilla positions itself by accepting donations.

A symmetry in the description doesn't correspond to identified physical states [...]

As I said before, I am not a physicist, but I am pretty sure that you are wrong here. Unless you are a physicist and you are sure about that. My understanding is that gauge symmetries are a misnomer and should better be called gauge redundancies because they essentially establish equivalence classes of mathematical states corresponding to identical physical states. This is not the same kind of symmetry as for example the Poincaré symmetry of special relativity.

Let me illustrate my understanding with a silly example that would almost certainly not actually work out mathematically but it should get the point accross. Say all you have in your mathematical toolbox are complex numbers and you come up with a theory of thermodynamics where temperatures are described by complex numbers. Everything works out nicely besides that there is no discernable physical difference between all the temperatures differing only by their imaginary parts. So you declare that there is a gauge symmetry in your theory of thermodynamics and all temperatures only differing by their imaginary parts are actually the same physical temperature. This theory has translations along the imaginary axis as a gauge symmetry.

So your only argument is that if someone quits, the secrets will spill out ?

I am a big fan of security by obscurity actually. I mean, by announcing to the whole world how you store your secrets, you are telling all the hackers in the world what protocols, what algorithms should they target against. Then one day you suddenly have a 0-day vuln and boom, everything is gone.

Compare the risks of that to an employee leaving and leaking the secrets.
Ok you’re definitely right with the technology thing not being an issue to “govs killing lots of people”.

Let me say that currently, because the technologies are new, not well understood, and not regulated by any kind of international treaty or norms (even national regulations sometimes) they can and will be abused in ways that are hard for other countries to protest against in a credible manner.

In China during The Great Famine under Mao, 50 million people died. I know numbers and history can seem so distant, but that’s more than the number of people who died in WWI and near the low end of estimates for WWII (especially the early estimates).

It was insanity on a level no society has ever perpetuated. A good example of this was that 40% of all structures were torn down during this period. Incredible. It’s all probably worse than we know too due to a lack of records and archives that individuals have access too.

The National Book Award winner this year was about Russian totalitarianism called “The Future is History”. If this is true, the future is a much worse place for the Chinese people.
You would be pleasantly surprised, then, that this reality has already permeated the modern financial industry. For instance, see http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-wants-to-become... .

No, the SI base unit of mass is the kilogram. From the NPL: http://www.npl.co.uk/reference/measurement-units/

"The kilogram is the International System of Units (SI) unit for mass. It is the only remaining base unit to be defined by a physical object. All standards of mass must ultimately be traceable to this one object, a cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in France"
These kinds of things tend to be labors of love anyway.
I can't imagine shadowsocks will continue to work for long. There's not much traffic like that on the Internet, meaning it is extremely susceptible to identification via machine learning. Add on all the opsec problems associated with point-to-point VPN tunnels and you're going to have a bad time.

I got pissed off enough about this to switch away from Verizon.

First I looked at Credo (hey, I’m a progressive!), but they only give 1% of their fees to charity, and they pay some undisclosed amount to Verizon. They cost about as much as Verizon, so it is unclear how much impact switching has.

I settled on tracfone. They’re run by the #4 telco on earth. They clearly bought off the Mexican government, to at least the same extent as Verizon bought off the US govt.

The difference is that I’m paying about $10 per line per month, vs. ~$40 with Verizon. I use the same phone, on the same network about as much as before, but, on two lines, I’m saving $60/month, which is certainly going to the EFF, independent journalism, and progressive political campaigns this year.

Their customer service is not great, but is good enough, and I feel as dirty, per dollar, as I do paying Verizon. That’s a huge win overall.

Tracfone let you choose between the T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon networks, and let you bring your own device.

I hope this helps you hit them in the pocketbook too.
