Well, on the other hand, some of us checked, read the privacy policy, and found it acceptable. Compliance reports came out, with the caveat that that was from point in time forward, and that was also acceptable.

This is rewriting the privacy policy we agreed to retroactively, and it's not OK in my mind. I don't say anything stupid on company slack, but in principle this is a bad move.
Since most people aren't doing enough waste monitoring in the first place, shrinking oversized instances should be low-hanging fruit to free up some budget
It's an ironic joke. By saying that you raise "free-range kids" you are accusing (correctly these days for the U.S.!) that other parents are raising caged, confined kids.
That's quite an understatement. Venting superheated steam is no walk in the park, either.

>Assuming of course that you have competent and trustworthy managers.

You're begging the question.

"Competent and trustworthy" people won't abuse their power by definition. Anyone who abuses their power intentionally is untrustworthy, and anyone who abuses their power unintentionally is incompetent.

In the real world there are many incompetent and untrustworthy leaders. Slack has no choice but to operate in the real world.

The articles touches on this but just to reiterate because it's worth saying: The most important thing about Rails is knowing how the internals work and maintaining a clean code architecture. Too many times have I seen a mess in Rails because developers only use the APIs and DSLs given to them.

The best Rails codebases are the ones who have ample "vanilla" Ruby and just happen to use Rails alongside said Ruby.
London vs. Munich vs. Vancouver
The reason for writing this post is because I don't have any mentors in my life, so I hope to get some much needed advice here.

If you wanted to start a successful internet business, but couldn't do it in the USA (at least initially), where else would you do it, having to choose between London, Munich and Vancouver?

As an EU citizen, I can choose between Munich and London freely, while for Vancouver I would need to first immigrate there as a skilled worker, get my permanent residence and then have the liberty of starting a business.

And, If start in any of these cities, should I pack everything once I can get a temporary US investor visa like E-2?
Right. To clarify what that page is showing, the bill is a proposed change of the Utah code and it's presented almost like a "diff" file. Underlined portions are additions, strikeouts are removals. Lines 309 through 325 contain the important parts.
Hello again,

thanks for this.

However this is not at all what we are doing.

We allow you to embed social share buttons, on your website.

We dont tell anyone to like anything or don't incentivize likes.

Have you read a blog post and there was share buttons? Well, all we do is allow the business to pay someone a dollar or whatever the advertiser has specified as their pay per share budget.

Then the visitor just shares with their friends to encourage more people to come and check out the blog post.

Our goal is to reward that person who's going out of their way to share.

Hopefully that helps.

If not, please don't hesitate to message, comment or email.

All the best
Well, the Powerwall, along with batteries, also has a ton of safety features that make it safe to install inside a home without worry.

One would argue even if you know exactly what you're doing, unless you're replicating those same safety features as well, you should put it in a shed anyway.

That said, totally agree with what you're saying.
This seems promising. I've been the google superadmin on a few companies and the fight between AD/LDAP and other services and online applications was always hackish. I wonder if the sync is still using this: https://support.google.com/a/answer/106368?hl=en

The benefit was that AD was the authority, so companies still felt "in control". If Cloud Identity is moving authority over to google, that might be an issue, but if it does it well, probably not so much.

The entire LDAP/AD/SSO area is ripe for disruption, because far too many companies are trying to be google and force it all online. Many companies would just be happy with a robust on-premise solution that could replace or augment the others completely.

Don't get me started on radius...

BerkeleyDB has a replication engine. IMO that's too much of a kitchen-sink approach. Judging by how many of those KV stores utterly fail to store data reliably, that's already a hard enough problem to solve. Focusing on the local storage is a clearly delineated realm of responsibility. Distribution obviously belongs to a higher logical layer.

Indexing requires knowledge of a higher level data model. (Again, BerkeleyDB has built in support for secondary indexing, but last time I checked it was a quite braindead and slow implementation. Faster to build your own indices instead, using the other facilities provided.)

With that said, while a KV store has no logical data model to apply to index generation, it can at least provide primitives for you to construct your own indices. BerkeleyDB and LMDB do this.

Distribution with transaction support may require help from the storage engine (offering something resembling multi-phase commit). BerkeleyDB provides this already; LMDB will probably provide this in 1.0.

An argument could be made that the storage engine should be able to handle replication/distribution even without understanding the higher level/application data model. BerkeleyDB does this with page-level replication. IME this results in gratuitously verbose replication traffic, as every high level operation plus all of its dependent index updates etc. are replicated as low level disk/page offset operations. IMO it makes more sense to leave this to a higher layer because you can just replicate logical operations, and save a huge amount of network overhead.

As for the possible higher layers - antoncohen's response below gives a few examples. There are plenty of higher level DBMSs implemented on top of LMDB, providing replication, sharding, etc.

Not arguing that you shouldn't pay close attention to safety considerations, but many of those optimizations are necessary for Tesla because they have constraints that would be easy to relax in a DIY scenario: very low volume/high density, the possibility of a collision, consistent proximity to humans, etc. I don't think it's fair to suggest that you need to be individually liquid cooling every cell to ensure safety.

No? I'm being serious when I say this idea is absurd to me. If you have a serious level of concern about your employees doing something illegal then why are they your employee in the first place?

If you are going to use "We need to be checking for illegal activity" as a justification, why stop at DMs? Why not ask your employees to always be carrying around a recording device that is constantly sending their verbal conversations somewhere where they can be electronically filtered for suspicious keywords? Obviously that's crazy and I'm not saying anyone is suggesting that or would support that, but what exactly makes that scenario over the line that doesn't apply to DMs?

I'm assuming the answer is "expectation of privacy" or the lack-thereof for DMs, and I guess my response would be that we should go back to an expectation of privacy for DMs also.
Ha! I do it respectfully and only backed by data though. :)

The difference is their privacy policy has been changed retroactively against the good faith their users had. That's the problem. Of course if it's corporate it's usually monitored, but when Slack championed the user and only catered to the company when forced (via compliance reports which told you they were enabled) and now suddenly switches to a model where past contracts are broken, people have a right to be upset.
I have to admit that I immediately thought of the Symantec enterprise software that serves roughly the same purpose, but much more intrusively. That's the sort of thing that seems to kill performance on something with a lot of file opens and closes, like VS, in addition to slowing down app startup. It's popular with businesses.

The oddball feature that causes Windows disk I/O to basically lock up on occasion, and I'm amazed that they haven't turned it off by default by now, is volume shadow copy and the automatic creation of restore points. It's bad on an SSD because it's very slow and uses a lot of space, and on a hard disk it's so slow that it ought to be criminal.

Free-range parenting for the white and wealthy‽ Nonsense. Some of the high-profile cases of wrongfully taking kids away from parents have been specifically non-white, non-wealthy families. What happens, of course, is that when the underprivileged parents are accused of neglect, they're more likely to be judged harshly. Protecting and respecting the rights of poorer parents to let their kids go play in the neighborhood park and such is as or more important as for privileged families.

To be clear, this isn't about solving some greater issue of safety. There's no big safety crisis. This is about parents letting their kids have some independence because even in poorer areas, the world is not that unsafe.

In fact, the safety of the one kid who plays alone in the park is much more of an issue than a group of kids. We need basic independence to be the norm because it doesn't work as well if it's rare.

> Google was a search engine, they didn't care if it sent you away; they wanted it to send you away

... only seems obvious in hindsight, though. I worked for a string of internet companies in the late 90's back when people were still trying to figure out what an internet company was supposed to be. The biggest task that they consistently put on me, the tech guy who actually understood what "internet" meant, was making sure that users didn't use too much of the company's internet, because internet was expensive. When I first heard of MySpace, I was floored - they're just letting people upload stuff to their servers? Like... whatever they want? As often as they want? They don't charge each individual user by the individual byte? This was heresy! (And then I checked to see if they were hiring...)

I don't see Gitlab explicitly listed as a supported service, but wonder if that would be supported or require google or gitlab to make the integration happen. (This is on a GL EE instance we manage).

These are probably basic questions, but I couldn't seem to find the details on the site.

"Just getting to the point" ? OpenLDAP has been architected this way for ~20 years. I think the same could be said for MySQL, as well as SQLServer (built on top of ESENT/JET). Large monolithic data stores are an obvious anti-pattern, reflects short-sighted design process.
I guess the difference here is our views on tribalism? I don't see people who live outside of my community as "others" who I need protection from. I would gladly earn less money to experience greater diversity and give people outside my community and opportunity to join mine.

I think for me, the line might be around protecting against transience. IF you want to join my community, people who are looking to contribute and leave a lasting impact should get benefits over people who are there to make money and leave. But there isn't really a great way to monitor this.
Because the occasional practical benefits do not outweigh some of the more irresponsible parents leaving children or pets in cars on hot/cold days. I view that as being more of a public safety issue much like seat belts.

As for your second point, it's because for a lot of the poorer parents they don't really have the ability to let their kids roam freely. Either due to proximity, lack of funds and so forth. Not to mention the institutional problems minority kids face on a daily basis (see: black children being shot by police).

It's not about requiring helicopter parenting but rather that laws like this don't really solve the actual problem for the majority of parents in the US. It's effectively lip service and I guarantee the wriggle-room left in the law will be used to harm minorities more than anyone else.
Good job. I received a degree in finance and ended up not wanting to go into banking so I went back and got my CS degree. Like you said, looking back it was definitely worth all the time and effort.
I read that last one and I'm not sure the "free range parenting" bill would even cover that. That was a case of, baby had a bruise and a doctor arbitrarily decided it was a willful injury by the parents. A process as aribtrary and random as that seems pretty broken and after that the foster process failed catastrophically. But I doubt "free range parenting" shuts down the entire process of removing kids from environments that are detected (rightly or wrongly) as directly physically abusive.

Do you find asking stupid questions productive? Honestly curious about that one. Also, this question I ask is a leading one. Know the difference.

Design can be considered "doing" by an organism in its change for survivial. Our "doing" made us be efficient with food. It's not like it was laying around or something back when we evolved, like it is nowadays.

Doesn't matter if we have an excess of food laying around today, DNA-wise. It takes generations to evolve new organisms that can deal with glut or scarcity. We are evolved the way we are and unlike the dork who wants citation about it, you aren't going to get what you want just by demanding it.

Only doing will show the truth. Talking about it is pointless and counterproductive to the end goal of reality, which is basically the efficient search for interesting.
Like the world needs yet another Sans typeface.

What I've learned powering an offgrid cabin…

Modern inverters and efficient walwarts (thank you EU) will be more efficient than 12v DC because of the power lost to the cables for anything but trivial loads.

The problem is some squared math functions which come and bite you. Your 12V DC system will pull 10 times the current as a 120V AC system. That's going to mean bigger wire. But then the kicker comes in, each volt you drop means 10 times the energy loss because 11/12 is a lot worse than 119/120, so you'll have even bigger wire. My 24V system with the batteries in a shed has $900 of copper wire between there and the house.

Then consider that all your loads probably already have a voltage converter in them, either an AC-DC external converter or something internal. Most of them won't take 11-14VDC inputs with spikes on it, so you'll need DC-DC converters on them anyway, so you aren't saving the conversion losses on the device end.

In summary, with modern high efficiency inverters you will probably find that your dollar is better spent on solar panels and batteries than masses of copper wire. If I were starting in 2018 I would not have run the DC lines.
Congratulations! Did you work full time while in school? Is this in the US or Germany? I've thought about school, I'd love to get a formal education, but I just landed my first job and I probably won't end up doing it.
I have the same problem right now.

I use an unsigned int "pos" column in the db.

For a new list the "pos" starts with 1..n

When the user changes the order I find the largest "pos" in the list and with a for I set largest + n "pos" for every item.

There will be about 20 items in a list but let's just assume it's a 1000, so with this I'm good if the user edits the list less than 4 294 967 295 / 1000 times.

And if the largest + count(list) < lowest I can set the largest to zero and start over the pos with 1.

You should have the foresight to write down their contact details. You meet a person, exchange contact details. Save it in your phone or cloud or what ever. Is that too hard? Will you run out of storage space if you save contact info for every person you meet? But hey, that requires a moments thought. Am I going to have to contact this person? No, we can't spent working a couple of neurons for that thought. I think people should use their heads more. To exercise fore sight.

I buy 750 watt APC UPC on ebay for $35 and I put alligaor clips on them and hook them up to Group 36 deep cycle ( if I remember 100 amp hour battery). I use several of them, one runs my DSL, cameras in that location, and electric fence. The one in my office which runs at full 750 watt runs for about 3.5 hours during power outage. It would be nice to modify a on-demand generator with a start switch hooked up to an arduino to turn it on when the power level goes down. That might be a project one day. Also a propane conversion for the generator and a large tank. I also have 1000w in solar panels to install, to be part of the same system.
