A major component of productive work is communication. I can spend 20minutes on a phone with a friend who is an expert in an area and learn a lot more than doing hours of research. Thinking that work is just coding is shortsighted.
It's nothing fancy. I'm simply deleting all my comments/posts on reddit and other forums I've participated in, manually. Of course, you can reach out to the admins and ask them to delete your data, but they may not be responsive...

One thing I haven't got to yet, and am not sure how to even approach, is removing my old Usenet posts, which you can find on Google Groups (from 1995!).

I still comment on reddit and such, as I like to help people. I just come back later and remove the comments.
It was not a fair contract negotiated at arms length. The politicians who agreed to it were largely elected by public employee unions who disproportionally benefited from it at the expense of taxpayers. It was a huge conflict of interest and so there's nothing immoral about reneging on the contract now.
Yes, bankruptcy is a well established option for people who have bought things they can’t pay for. Part of the deal is losing your own assets. Residents signed up for these debts; residents must have their own retirement savings and property seized to pay for them. You’ve established that there’s no problem seizing already-earned compensation when the going gets tough, so why not yours?

Most of the deletion requirement for a user could probably be satisfied by removing the username from the posts. And not just for display, but in the db. If the data can't be recalled for a user, then (by my reading) that clears the GDPR requirement.

The tolls in Illinois are ridiculous. I was heading up to Madison, WI and decided to take I-90 despite the fact that it had tolls. I figured that the gas saved would make up for the tolls. That turned out to be an expensive mistake. What an absolute racket.

Statehood won the last two status referenda in Puerto Rico.

Wooden buildings have the advantage that in an active seismic area they can survive (or let the occupants survive) earthquakes much better than brick. Building codes in California prefer wood pretty much for this reason, even though they are more susceptible to fire. Fires can be controlled, versus having every masonry house in a city fall down simultaneously.
You can’t trust Facebook, period, full stop. Their business model is adversarial to their end users, and those users are the product being sold. Do not use them, do not work with or for them.
So inflaming racial and ethnic tensions and causing violence is okay too? Because that's what has already happened and that's been a goal of agitprop forever. I understand the techno-utopist naivete of "it's all just information!" but it's wrong and if it weren't insidious, it wouldn't be used. It's a tactic just shy of what would trigger war, can be (and is-successfully) used to cause strife and violence, and is often an opening salvo to war.

Personally, if it happens to my country, I want us to defend and fight against it, not try to play the both-sides whataboutism game. The Internet didn't break the nationstate like we thought it would.
If poor South American families can afford to sneak into the U.S., than 99.9% of Americans can afford to move to a neighboring state.

Does any one know why are bricks expensive ? It is just dirt. right ?
For personal homes, I think brick is commonly in use in Austria, and other European countries. But the bricks used are quite different from the small bricks in this article. The modern bricks are much larger and largely hollow. These air chaimbers make them lighter and also offer better heat insulation. The bigger size makes them faster to lay.

E.g., something like this: https://www.ziegelwerk-wenzel.de/produkte/w09-425
What I want is to download my history including the external links I posted. But they seem to not include that stuff. I'm sure they tracked which links I posted, but they don't consider that part of the private data I'd own in any way, so it's not there in the download. Which I means I can't find that article I stupidly posted to FB and forgot to bookmark otherwise…
Puerto Rico voted overwhelmingly for statehood in 2017, with 97.18% of those voting choosing statehood.
You may have done this already, but I encourage you to copy/paste this as a comment on the article at apnic.net so it has more visibility. The opening line about "It was actually a very civil discussion, and I think almost everyone in the room could see both sides on the issue." needs to be shared.
Revelation of the century...
Oh sure, someone who's an expert may do it faster without a jig. But we don't need more expert bricklayers to lay 9 bricks a minute, we just need more bricklayers. By using jigs you simplify the process and make it easier to perform by less experienced people, and make the process more reliable, which reduces waste, which increases efficiency, which brings down cost, and improves quality.
If the economy collapses, then you're going to need guns, water, a farm, and a group of people to help defend yourself.

"Value" was only lost if all the assets were sold in 2008. Assuming you were diversified and just had the run of the mill index funds, you'd have tripled your "value" since then. The dollar loses value every day, and it will continue to do so, so you need to make sure you're making more and more of it. Unless you're adept at investing in cash flow businesses and maintaining them, your best bet is via the stock market. At least then you can tread water, and if another recession comes, the government will just print some more again, but at least you'll be treading water with inflation.
Raise taxes enough and rich people and big businesses will simply leave Illinois.

An intuitive accounting guide for founders
Twitter: I follow Christian leaders I respect as well as a bunch of software developers and some software projects

Facebook: I have a small number of friends on Facebook, but I never use it for posting personal things about my life, just to follow people.

RSS: I follow a lot of software projects, software developer blogs, and some Christian leaders/bloggers. This overlaps with Twitter to some extent but more for interesting articles or product updates that I don't want to miss.

Reddit: I follow some tech and software dev reddits, but it seems like there are too many beginner questions rather than interesting discussions

Blog: I have a blog in the works, not actively writing on it yet
There are differences--you're often willing to do more work decoding a still than a frame, say--and in the first story I linked there's a quote from a Googler wondering about whether to make the image format exactly track AV1 or to tweak it. So, there's a real question.

That said, the still demo at https://people.xiph.org/~tdaede/av1stilldemo/ is really encouraging, and Apple's seen a win in doing something parallel with HEVC/.heic. AV1's already gone through a lot of optimization and IP vetting (patents caused trouble for previously proposed replacements for JPEG), and has a hardware decoder design and a lot of companies signed on. Like everyone I just have to wait and see what they do, but I'm more or less on team "ship it" here.
Also, the vast majority of startups do not lack for drive & vision, but most will fail. Vision may be necessary for a new company, but it certainly isn't sufficient.

Disagree. Counter example: Red Hat (disclaimer: I’m at Red Hat since almost 13 years).

Founded by realistic visionaries (Bob Young and Mark Ewing). Bob was smart enough to bring in Matthew Szulik, who gave Red Hat structure and growth. And Matthew was smart enough to hand over to Jim Whitehurst.

Red Hat is nowadays a smooth running company with 64 quarters of growth, with a portfolio that goes far beyond Linux.

Codel is knobless, there literally aren't parameters you _can_ set let alone ones you need to set according to your "upload/download speeds". So, I have no idea what you're tinkering with that you think needs to know "upload/download speeds" or why, but it's nothing to do with Codel.

I vehemently disagree, burning vision is wasted when you don't focus on the day to day.

The day to day is what actually leads to revenue and hopefully actual profits. You can only burn vc money for so long until you actually have to show some sort of return.
I don't understand this. Is profitability the only metric for if a service can be trusted or not?

It's also not even mentioned in the article linked, not sure why you brought it up at all tbh.

Very smart approach. It's human nature to react poorly to being publicly criticized or humiliated (in case of the crystal healing stuff).

Given that, I also strive to direct message the poster and ask the leading questions or point out the problems. They might even take down their post or alter it. You have to be willing not to get any credit and go unseen, which probably feels alien to many social media users.
Practice, practice, practice.
I always suggest that you should start by writing your unit tests on the language you wish to learn, but this is valid only with languages that play together.
For instance, to learn groovy i wrote my unit tests for my JAVA code in groovy, now i'm repeating the process with Kotlin... Other than that, do as many KATAs as you can find online. "codewars.com" is nice, too.
But keep in mind that "language(s)" are just tools, you reaaly should focus on a better grasp of CS concepts and fundamentals, the tools will be obsolete before you notice.

You would rather all your UDP packets are delayed by a millisecond rather than have one dropped? Why?
would be good if the "Enterprise Load Balancer" would just be another set of servers (with HAProxy + keepalived or something else, I love the "single ip" failover)

Edit: especially load balacing the master servers. (that's actually the hard part of k8s, not even setting it up with/out openshift/ansible whatever)
load balancing services on k8s itself is basically just running either calico network and use one or two haproxy deployments of size 1 with a ip annotation or just using https://github.com/kubernetes/contrib/tree/master/keepalived...
You said it yourself, by ignoring nonsense. I used to engage and I still do chime in once or twice a year. But overall I just ignore those posts and move on with my life. I've learned I can be close to people that have incredibly different life philosophies. It really is your choice and it comes back to the stoic philosophy of changing the things you can change and have a meaningful impact on your life, while ignoring everything else. That probably sounds like blasphemy in today's connected, opinionated, world. But it helps me cope.

Not at all, I’ve always had a very healthy relationship, insofar as I’ve never made an account on Facebook or a Twitter or anything like it. I’ve always been amazed that supposedly smart people don’t understand the simple truth of the internet: once you upload something, it’s online forever. If you’re not 100% sure that what you’re sharing is something you want associated with you until the day you die, don’t share it.

As I’m not capable of seeing into the future, the only sane choice is not to share in the first place. Close and meaningful relationships with other people were possible before they were cynically monetized by social media, and they’re still possible without it. When it comes to social media, the only winning move is not to play, and/or be anonymous.

The alternative is that some 14 year old can DOXX you, SWAT you, and generally make your life miserable. The alternative is that your boss sees something they don’t like and you lose your job.

How did you start learning about tech entrepreneurship?
I decided a few months ago to spend my last summer before graduation (Undergraduate CS) learning about tech entrepreneurship. My current plan is to learn by developing a simple product. However, after a few months of exploring MVP ideas, I'm starting to feel unsure about the direction I'm taking.

With that in mind, how did you start learning about tech entrepreneurship?
Is there any advice you would have given yourself when you were first starting out?

Thanks!
Brick is by far the most common in the UK. Usually brick outer wall with an insulation gap and an aerated concrete block on the inner wall. Sometimes two concrete blocks if it's to be rendered (stucco?).

Oak wooden frame is sometimes (can be expensive) used but the wooden cladding approach is very rare. That said prefab panels which combine stud work insulation etc are sometimes used. Not particularly commonly but they are quite new. I'd have made pre-fab panels for my workshop but I ended up using brick as the fire rating made building control regulations easier to pass. It took me a long time to lay all the bricks though so I may have made the wrong decision!
OpenVPN yes. I have my router hosting the openvpn, but I think you could do that on the RPi as well. I can't say for _sure_, as I haven't tried it personally, but I think there's more than enough juice on an RPi to host all of that, especially if it's only ever going to handle 1 or 2 simultaneous connections.
[edit] Forget it. Uncritically swallow whatever propaganda FVEY feeds you. I have deleted my violation of groupthink and its associated factual sources. Carry on.

Statehood is a one way trip. It would also remove some of their automomy. They are so far from America and have a distinct culture. They may eventually want to split off. Best to leave it as a territory.

Furthermore, the population is tiny. There are dozens of college footballs with better attendence. It doesn't make sense to give them two senators and a congressman.

If they really wanted to be part of state, lump it in with Hawaii.

I'd be fine giving them citizenship.
It's clay, and wood is much more abundant in the US. However, in other places such as the UK, wood isn't abundant, so most houses are made of brick.

Yep. My house, and all neighbors around live in brick houses. In my country people have this strange notion from Hollywood movies that if house isn't made from bricks, you can punch though the walls with a fist :) And we also know kid stories about tree piggies.
Sometimes the law prohibits things that aren't morally wrong. For example, it's illegal to structure bank transfers to avoid reporting thresholds, even if there is no underlying crime. This is a reality.

You're highlighting the not-wrong parts of the illegal stuff and will next highlight the not-illegal parts of the wrong stuff. CA did things that were wrong and illegal, but not everything they did was both.
It's likely quite profitable, they don't buy bandwidth from Amazon, they get a few colo'd machines or dedicated servers in many DCs - you can get dedicated gigabit lines in several DCs for a few hundred a month. Most subscribers only use the service occasionally and won't place that much load on it.

Fine, and they should be punished for whatever election laws they broke.

But when it comes to people influencing people, especially over the internet, I doubt very many knew or cared of the country of origin an opinion/idea/piece of "information" came from if it jived with them. Much less whether the identity of the poster was falsified.

Indeed with the anonymity provided by the internet, no nationality whatsoever, foreign or domestic, need be provided.
Quite funny, I've published this yesterday and went unnoticed until now, lol
Of course - I love work. But I also don't think that it makes sense, in a world of automation, to continue to define people by their work. There is no risk of being "unsafe" just because our species has figured out a way to train robots to do what was once your job. That's really ill thinking; the future is much brighter than that.
No, it’s the equivalent of a megacorp withdrawing funds from your 401k to cover its own losses.

By the way, startups do have to give you your shares, they just might turn out worthless. Governments promised USD, and were the safest borrowers around for a long time.

Of course. There are a lot of things that aren't the same. But can we at least all agree that surreptitious, unapproved use of your Facebook data by political campaigns is wrong? Whether they got it from my friends getting an app or my friends (or myself) filling out a survey doesn't change the main issue.

The only real story here is media coverage and subsequent outrage. Otherwise, it doesn't really help the problem and it definitely reeks of side-taking to point out collection strategy differences when the main issue remains.
