People that use the word "fiat" are also entirely ignorable.

That's not necessarily what I am implying. I'm challenging the idea that, if all news is biased(beyond simply picking and choosing stories), one can reliably find the truth by essentially making a Venn diagram between biased sources and analyzing overlaps. I neither believe nor disbelieve that it's a pathway to truth. I have my skepticism because it provides no form of validation; if all sources are too highly skewed, any overlap becomes highly suspect and simultaneously difficult to test.
I run a local caching server on my network 192.168.1.22, from there I now forward to cloudflare, then to opendns on misses. This makes DNS resolution blazing fast for things we frequent.

I use my ASUS router's DHCP to teach all my dynamically configured network devices how to find the bind9 DNS caching server.

All the statically configured ones just have 192.168.1.22 hard coded with 1.1.1.1 as backup.

Facebook | Solutions Engineer | Menlo Park, NYC, Seattle, Austin, London, Dublin, Seoul, Singapore | Onsite
Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to form and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

It is a great role for an engineer that would rather be in a cross-functional role where a typical week includes releasing production features, visiting a client's marketing and engineering teams, and brainstorming new products and features.

Facebook | Solutions Engineering Manager, Southern Europe | Paris | Onsite

We also have a great opportunity for an engineering manager that would like to support a team in Paris. You would support a distributed team, so some travel would be required. Roughly half the time would be spent on people management, with the other half on Solutions Engineering work.

We are looking for someone fluent in French.

If you would like to apply or have any questions, feel free to send me an email at hiten@fb.com .
I should be able to get a car brought to the airport in front of baggage claim.

You can. It's called concierge rental car service or valet rental car service at those airports that offer it, and it tends to be extremely pricey. It's not offered for the masses because it would make the already horrific congestion at Arrivals even worse, which is the primary reason that the rental car area is usually a bit away from the airport itself.
I have a different RavPower battery pack (also about 20Ah) and My 2017 15" MBP makes it REALLY FRIGGIN' HOT. OTOH it would be fine to charge it off of a USB A -> C charge cable, it would take ages, but i would feel better about it not cooking. Oh well.
One of my friends has one of these because she likes the way it helps her build a grocery shopping list over the week. She once thought of herself as a privacy activist, and is fully conscious of the hypocrisy. It really made me think twice about how small the convenience has to be for someone to compromise their privacy.
Makes me think that data should be treated differently in the case of a potential new owner, allowing users to opt-out from their data from being transferred; you may trust the leadership and governance, and may not trust whomever takes over or who will newly has access to the data.
Laptop explodes while charging at Letchworth business
Tell that to any classical orchestra.

Kids will sometimes fling pant on canvas as fun, but it's not art.
My main home PC is a laptop matching those specs. I frequently use it for development and web browsing. You can comfortably fit two terminals in columns with that resolution. The RAM is mainly an issue when browsing, but killing all the ads and defaulting to no Javascript helps. A surprising amount of websites still only use Javascript for "progressive improvements" i.e. they'll use it just for pop-ups, hijacking scrolling, randomly moving menu bars in and out of view, implement some nonsensical partial loading of the main content etc. but will happily show you the full text without a hassle with a consistent user interface once you turn it off. For a while I used Dillo but that became less viable as an option over time. That said, I do waste a lot less time on shitty websites on this setup.
> So you're going to pay to use it right?

Yep -- I'm willing to pay $5/mo to host stuff. That's roughly 10% of an average cell phone bill, or less than 1% of rent (even outside the cool places).
> I wouldn't personally expect to legislate it any more than if my gf broke up with me because of Tinder or FB or something its just life

Some of us will do our best to elect reps who will legislate services you like or something its just life.
Fair point. I have never seen this add campaign.
If "no pay" is an option most people will take it, if it isn't an option because the mechanisms that make it possible are banned then people will pay - or there will be no service.

This isn't physics; the laws of user behaviour are mutable, and legislation is completely possible.

The outcome of the erosion of privacy is the end of our ability to adapt as a society; there will be no new ways of doing things or dealing with change. This will be bad, we have some very very nasty societal problems coming and we need lots of new ways of dealing.

EDIT to add: I'm being glib, but only a little - I think the artists, compared with venues and promoters, ought to hold much more power than they currently do. Of course venues should get paid - but are fees the best way?

I believe in certain places that if you withhold the information of being HIV positive from someone you have sex with and infect them, it's a pretty serious crime. I think it might even be a crime if you don't infect them.
True, but the key word is "can". I could write a proof that my dynamically typed programs are correct or that my functions do not index out of bounds, but I don't. Nor has any programmer I've ever worked with. Nor has any open source project I've ever seen provide such proofs. People do not write these imaginary proofs, because it would be a waste of time.
That would remove the US trade deficit as China buying US bonds is an investment.

So, you can use it as a personal definition, but it's not the current definition used in economics.
Says a guy commenting on the internet?
A lot of skepticism is warranted. But there is also a lot of bias and unwarranted skepticism. Or more specifically, lack of faith.

Blockchain's is like a precocious child and everyone is saying this genius will revolutionize the world. It is still a child though.

Faith is the opposite of technical measurement so for many people anything that requires faith deserves a heaping ton of skepticism. The biggest negative example in many people's minds is religion.

Blockchain involves not only technology but psychology, economics, politics, etc... It mixed in a lot of soft things that tech people may not appreciate.

Many people get involved in tech or other hard fields BECAUSE they don't see the value of soft things. Combined with the recent validation of tech (tech hasn't always had such high relative salaries) that "idiots" or "wee-woo" people are making bank is very distressing.

The validation of tech via money has in some ways poisoned the original mindset of technology as empowerment for all. That people can make money doing things they don't understand is anathema in tech circles.

Especially as tech workers (I am one btw) often consider themselves having cutting edge ideas and more foresight but somehow missed the boat. Either they have to admit they were shortsighted and over-conservatism or that other people are fools.
We are forced to.

For example, in my country, every assessment we have to take (be it for a tenure-track hiring process, for getting tenure, for asking for a grant, etc.) has as the most important criterion "publications in journals indexed by ISI JCR" together with their quartile.

Most of the journals in ISI JCR follow this model where they cost money (be it to publish or to read) and provide very little value... except for being on that list and being necessary to (aspire to) stay in academia and feed your family, of course.

Other countries have better systems in the sense that they may be more open to other venues not in ISI JCR, some may even actually look at the quality of the papers instead of just blindly following rules to score quartiles. But scientists everywhere have the same problem in larger or smaller degree.

A solution that is sometimes proposed is that authors who are no longer struggling for their career (e.g. tenured full professors) take a stand and refuse to publish there. Some movements have been made in that direction, e.g. in mathematics. But in most fields a senior professor will work together with Ph.D. students and postdocs who are in the struggle, so it isn't realistic either.

The truth IMO is that the solution must come top-down, from governments. The EU has made some progress, e.g. mandating open access for EU grant holders, but what happens then is that publishers will let you make your paper open access in exchange for a hefty fee (which again, is paid from taxpayer money). The real solution would be to mandate by law that research paid by taxpayer money is published in non-for-profit venues, period.
Presumably illegal in the sense of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_transmission_of_HIV (and note that in some jurisdictions "exposure", not just "transmission" is criminalized, per that wikipedia article).
> The alternative business model that the world is moving to is Open Access.

That's one of the possible alternative, not the only alternative. Another alternative would be to have peer review as done today where authors pay for PDF hosting, server maintenance costs etc. and not the cost of "publishing" as in the traditional sense.
> Windows Server has been irrelevant for some time.

Most definitely not. There are a ton of Microsoft Certified Somethings that will refuse to administrate Linux servers unless their life depends on it.

I don’t know enough about them but, if you’re right about that, then I’d say it’s the best support for my comment possible.

If they are intentionally exploring the line between noise and music, then clearly there is one, and it is up to each of us to decide where to draw it.

I would say, from the 60 odd seconds of track I listened to, they are asymptotically approaching noise from the musical side of the equation. Which is probably why the audience had such a negative reaction.
This shouldn't be in the hands of a regulatory agency. Serious privacy violations should be legislated and treated as outright crimes, not just regulation infringements.

I understand the privacy issues are horrible, and places like HN are super vocal about it. But the overall majority either don't know, or don't care, or mostly both. People dump their entire lives on to the internet, hoping for some type of validation from their peers. Banks destroyed many lives ten years ago, and yet we bailed them out, and are still using them. People in the end just don't care. Especially after time has passed.
