I think most Americans who look deep into it view Health Sharing as a national Healthcare initiative. It's certainly extremely similar to me, minus the contributions coming in post-paycheck.

People (Americans) probably couldn't visualize savings with a national system before these really starting to become populate as of late. Maybe because it was mostly just an idea in our situation? (the burden of one spread across all)

Let's be honest, the Church is probably better at budgeting for this than the Government.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if these become more and more common for the common man that a suggestion to move to a national system is brought up (and taken a bit more seriously).
Despite the Uber-released video being misleadingly darkened, you can clearly see the victim was already in the road when she was hit, she did not "leap in front" of the car. The car made no attempt to avoid a collision, she was simply mowed down.
Has there ever been any statement from anyone even remotely involved with data collection at Google on what "pausing" these collection options actually does internally? I somehow find it hard to believe that they don't just collect it anyway and only "pause" displaying inferences made using the data to you.

I think the difficulty with GamerGate, and in this case with Pr0gramm, is that "users" or "members" is not a singular entity. The GG-people that donated to charity are not the same people that threatened women. Same goes for these Pr0gramm users i assume.
> That's a pretty huge caveat. "This isn't news, except to the majority of people"

TL;DR defaults matter to the layman - the 99%, google will say they gave you the options (so many that it's tiresome for most people to bother going through).

Yup, when reading through all of the stuff I was just checking off my mental list of all the things that don't affect me. I don't use google on phones, and for gmail stuff i've already trawled through the massive list of options to stop tracking and logging various stuff. Additionally I only log into a google account in isolation so it can't join history together.

Even after all of this I recognise that google mostly likely has other tricks up it's sleeves like browser fingerprinting to join sessions together and associate their activity with my account in secret, not to mention they are mining all of my email of course, but this is the best I can do while continuing to use a google account (and even without a google account they can still track individuals via other means).

This is only practical for those the most aware of what these companies do and the most interested in preventing - understandably, the layman just wants to use it as intended without doing days of research and digging through piles of options in paranoia trying to turn everything off, these types of services rely on this fact. I am not a normal user and they really don't care that 1e-10% are evading them, they are relying on the fact that almost all of their users wont be going to great lengths to turn all the tracking and logging options off.
Hi..can someone ELI5 to me what Kubernetes is? Also what's the best way to get started/tutorials you can recommend for a new user? Thank you!
That’s a bold claim.
Others are making good points but also, if the system can't be trusted to detect a pedestrian in these circumstances we can't be sure this bug wouldn't allow it to hit a stalled car or large piece of debris in the road either. Even if the car had just hit the bicycle and missed the woman this would be an utterly unacceptable level of performance for an AV to display after completing closed track testing.
Brilliant! It's always surprised me that Spotify didn't add this feature since they already have the data.
Uh, I wouldn’t say the names have a political alignment. They’re just a bit sardonic?

Don't fool yourself--I've been working almost 20 years as a developer and have worked on some major platforms (billions of dollars in revenue) and in healthcare with millions of lives at stake if I screw up and I have no stories about "losing several hundred thousand dollars." I have had a few small screw-ups like breaking a build over a weekend and plenty of bugs and other issues, but no not ever anything on the magnitude of what you are talking about. I'm not tooting my own horn here, either. I just never know what to say to those interview questions. I usually just look quizzically at the person and then don't get the job because they think I'm lying or something.

On the other hand, I have had to clean up some major screw-ups that I inherited from other, less careful developers. I have saved at least one company millions of dollars in annual cost that were being wasted (still waiting for ANY recognition for that one).

One place I worked was being charged for blank pages scanned and all my team and I did was come up with a way to avoid scanning those blank pages by not needing to use them as a physical delimiter. That process change saved $100K a year in cost. Some asswipe of a developer that came before me caused that and both didn't care and didn't even know what they did wrong, probably.
It's important to remember that it's not insurance at all.
To me, excessive queueing seems indicative of network operators making assumptions about traffic and their solutions ultimately lead to worse outcomes, buffer bloat etc. Isn't QUIC meant to prevent the network from making these assumptions, forcing a more agnostic network, and letting QUIC manage congestion, latency, etc?

You do know that someone somewhere is going to make a middlebox that just drops a packet unless that bit flipped in the precise sequence that the middlebox developer believed was the correct one, right?

Then someone proposes an enhancement to QUIC which happens to change the sequence of the flips (perhaps some multipath thing, or an enhancement in the way it treats reordered packets), and it breaks...

It's a strange position that the author takes. It seems that a good part of his reluctance/cautiousness comes from a run-in with some educator who forked the repo and made some aesthetic changes ("removed all the swears") and then scrubbed the fork of any mention of "Wonder Unit":

> The readme, the software, and even the images. Because of the way GitHub works, it now looks like we are contributors on his project.

IANAL, but if Storyboarder was MIT License, this forker couldn't just scrub the license of all mention of Wonder Unit (or whoever was listed as copyright holders), right? But as far as making a fork look like his own project...Sure, that's the risk with any open source venture, but by and large, forks (especially by individual people) don't seem to go anywhere. This forker isn't likely to end up with anything but an outdated buggy copy of a ostensibly popular and evolving product.

It does seems like the creator and his collaborators have put in a non-trivial amount of thought and desire into going OSS, but are also wary of running into any unseen pitfalls. It just seems strange that they've come this far developing the product and putting it in the open; why be hung up about some educator doofus who wants to clean up cuss words in the code/docs, as if he and his ilk present a real threat to what Wonder Unit have made?

Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications
Let us reserve our judgment on Google for now. But FB is far worse than what you say here. Suppose I group people into

1. Those who actively use Facebook and willingly tell it everything about their lives

2. Those who actively use Facebook and unwillingly tell it everything about their lives (who don't know what data it collects)

3. Those who once actively used Facebook

4. Those who have never created a Facebook (or WhatsApp or Instagram) account

The real issue is, FB likely has as much private data about group number 4 as group number 1 because of their shadow profiles (which they euphemistically refer to as "future Facebook users"). And their current or past employees seem to be a little too conveniently blind to this matter. See here for e.g.:

I like how you offer to construct an ontology in a thread where I admitted I'm being tiresome.

I'm pretty okay going with the assumption I started with though, that if someone says they are vegetarian it doesn't mean anything. Maybe it means they eat chicken if that's all there is. Maybe not. Maybe they eat dairy. Maybe not.

Seems this merger brings a very broad portfolio of mobility services under one roof. Combining and leveraging the relationships of the units (charging, parking, car-sharing, multimodal offerings and car-sharing) might turn into a competitive advantage and as an entry point to compete with Uber & Waymo.
I also did it some time ago, but I have a feeling, with nothing to backup my claim, that they still log, store and analyse all my activity but just don't show it in the dashboard. I don't know how targeted ads are (because of ad block) but youtube doesn't suggest me anything based on watch history so I guess I might be wrong here.
Precisely, it's insuring. That's why it's insurance.

I'm not sure I agree that a digital TV signal has more repetition than analog. It is possible, but worth investigating.

That said, although the DVB-T dongles were intended for digital TV use, the typical demodulators (such as http://www.amateur-radio-wiki.net/index.php?title=RTL2832) have an extremely wide frequency range and can be repurposed all over that range.

Absolutely use extreme caution when adopting a new source of entropy.

> People like to believe they are special snowflakes that can rise above the influence of marketing, but hit them with the right marketing message and you got them.

Maybe so, but the success of marketing has different probabilities for different individuals. So, if you're Facebook, it wouldn't make sense to invest in de-poisoning poisoned tracking data if they'd have a low chance of success with their marketing messages. Also, I'm doubtful any de-poisoning technique is perfect, so the resulting profile is probably worse for targeted marketing, all else being equal, as well.
That's a really good idea. Nice execution on it, too...

The simplest way to explain it is that it is google's version of docker swarm.

Aside from that, it's a way to manage the deployment of containers across one or more hosts. Getting more traffic than usual? You have a program that detects it and sends a command to kubernetes/dockerswarm that tells it to scale up the number of web containers. Stuff like that.
Certainly more useful than your comment.

Maybe--until it became fully and completely obvious that GamerGate was just grievance against "the SJWs", there were certainly some people who actually bought that it was about some kind of ethics. (That has obviously since changed to the point where "ethics in games journalism" means you're probably fitted out for some Hugo Boss.) But--and why I pointed it out--is that those donations are then used by the shitheads to shield their behavior and legitimate themselves, and clearing that tactic in the open is useful and important.
Windows is often the only vendor-supported choice for interfacing your computer applications to PLCs and such things. Also most of the proprietary protocols run over industrial ethernet are some kind of legacy serial (232, 485..) bytestream format wrapped in TCP and the software usually does not handle loss of the TCP connection particularly gracefully. (on multiple occasions I've seen rules like "reboot the whole installation on every shift change" to "handle" the obvious reliability issues of such systems)

It is not about some small and well defined set of "idiots", it is essentially industry-wide design mistake.

I know all about the liquidators, and I sympathize, but that's why I stressed "general population" several times. It's a given that the cleanup crew isn't part of the general population.

>These people were worked until they literally fell over and died in hospital shortly thereafter.

It's more accurate to say that they were literally cooked. It's horrible, but that's what the Soviets did, and continue to neglect many who are still alive. Their sacrifices prevented the absolute worst outcome of that disaster, and they certainly deserve all recognition they can get. And for leaving the liquidators out of that comment, I apologize.

The real stories surrounding the accident and the cleanup certainly are terrifying. The control room in particular and the imagery of several individuals being totally and instantly vaporized will always stick with me.
How do you know they're doing a hard delete server side and not just flipping a delete flag?
Kubernetes orchestrates clusters of containers in a data center.

It chooses where to run the containers, wires up networking between them. And keeps them running.

I'm on my phone so I can't grab the link for you but a good intro is Kelsey Hightowers Kubernetes The Hard Way on GitHub.
I broadly agree. I've been willingly giving Google, via an account, as little data as necessary since I got a Gmail account ~14 years ago. I've never had a moment where I regretted what I've allowed them to have access to.

Like most people here with a Google Account, I've disabled as much of their harvesting as I can.

I've received an extraordinary amount of value from several of their products - such as maps, search, email, apps - and I never click on ads. The value received versus given disparity is beyond comically in my favor.

By comparison at this point I'd rate my value context with Facebook as net negative across my lifetime use of the product. The value has plunged the last four or five years. The first few years I used the product (after it became freely available to the masses), were slightly positive or quasi-benign at worst.

The difference in terms of product experience is largely that with Google, I don't deal with other assholes that routinely make my day worse, whether in the form of ugly politics, petty rage, or spam posts (whether commercial or personal posts).
Its a tool for DevOps helping orchestrate container deployments and scaling, you probably want to play around with docker before diving into to kubernetes.
> How many (hundreds or even thousands?) donations over how many hours

I mean, the site is back up now and the raid still ongoing, but I can very well imagine the (shared?) server of a charity collapsing when suddenly even a few hundred or thousand people start clicking around on the website simultaneously.

But I guess you have to call the charity and ask them if you want exact numbers?

Hello - fellow software engineer who dabbles in quantitative investing here. I would start with episode 1 of Meb Faber's podcast:
http://mebfaber.com/podcast/

And listen to all the episodes. Take your time, it took me about a year to get through them all.

One of my favorite guests was Gary Antonacci. I read his book Dual Momentum Investing after hearing his episode. I now use his algorithm for a sizable portion of my portfolio.

I believe all of the day-trader focused algorithmic contests like Quantopian are a joke. Don't waste your time. Quick trading strategies are a race to ZERO as quality AI systems will crush all the humans in the long term.

I have found it possible to design profitable long-only strategies that only trade once every 6 months or per year. You may find your own niches. I backtest my algorithms with homegrown ruby code and data from tradier.com (free with an account). I trade the good ones at motifinvesting.com which lets you establish a track record.

Good luck! Please share your twitter handle so I can keep tabs on you. I'm at @baccredited

If the connection got saturated I could easily see ping times of two minutes or more.
Google has tons of data on you that isn't available in Takeout as well. (So does Facebook.) Bear in mind, these companies know which ads they've shown you and when, for example, and at least in one case, buys your credit card transaction history to compare your purchases with the ads you've seen.

I tried to like lisp, it just doesn't fit with my brain, dunno why. I tried to like emacs and it doesn't fit either. I'm a C/sh/vi sort of guy. I like troff, don't care for LaTex. Some stuff just works better for me, working in C comes very naturally to me, working in lisp was always a struggle.

I think if I had done more compiler work I'd like lisp better, I've been told that making an AST in lisp is trivial and it is work in C.

I get your point about small and knowable, I love stuff like that.
You don't.

But from what I have seen Google takes infosec very seriously, and will fully delete information when they say they delete information. They even point out that it could "linger" for (IIRC) 90 days after you delete it in backups and other replicated copies, but after that should be fully and completely deleted.
I think this is a really interesting idea. Spotify has a feature where you can see if an artist is going to be playing near your location by going to the artist's page and going to the 'concert' tab. However, I don't think they have one to go the other way i.e "find all artists performing in one location"

Someone at the SXSW Hackathon two weeks ago worked on a similar thing [1]. The difference in their project was that it looked at the artists you listened to and then created a list of artists that you would know who would be coming to the venue.

I like your idea in that you're creating a channel for people to discover new bands.
