No, I refuse to work in a cave. Glossy reflections are bad for color work, and bad for coding. (And even a cave isn't sufficient to prevent glare when viewing bright images which light up my face.)

What do you mean by "vibrancy"? Either a monitor is calibrated to a given color space, or not. And the diffusion of an individual pixel is orders of magnitude too low to significantly affect the color of neighboring pixels.

Yes, it might be a bit serious. When the first lawsuit was filed, a lot of stuff went under legal hold. Ask the legal department if it is ok to delete. If they say yes, it's their neck on the line, not yours. CYA CYA CYA.

As far as I can tell, Toyota (or other car manufacturers) would be just as inclined to argue driver error in crashes (especially once involved in litigation). See e.g. https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman14_toyota_ua_... for a discussion of some Toyota crashes.
Totally agree. And I would like to add that I don't even think a degree is the best way to learn even for many who excel at them.
Kubernetes only does service orchestration, which is a very small part of what AWS offers overall. You still have to manage servers/NAS/networking hardware, ISP contracts, CDN, edge caches, geo-distribution and more.

Sorry I was unclear. I am talking about dynamics of people whom became romantic couples after a long period of friendship, not relationship advice in general.
Great, way to encourage not thinking ahead.

That's what we need... LESS planning.
The “friend zone” is just an excuse some men come up with for not wanting to admit that attraction wasn’t mutual. It’s really creepy to think that they deserve sex for stringing someone along with the false pretense of being a friend — would they ever use “dead end” to describe a same sex friendship which didn’t lead to sex?
At some point in my CS career i distinctly remember a "flip" i had in how i thought. The revelation was the fact that complexity and more generally information has an infinite number of ways of being represented. Somehow by stating that explicitly i was able to tackle new problems by first asking myself "is there a better model for this that expresses the same information and obeys similar constraints as what i am modeling". I started taking my Calculus notes in "code-like" ways, for example, using while loops and if's, adding arrows and other weird non-math syntax. To me they were more efficient ways of learning and remembering the information

New ways of modeling the same information always excite me. This is fantastic work.
According to this article, most of the code was written in FORTRAN (which is, yeah, pretty old, but is still in widespread use -- you can definitely still hire FORTRAN programmers).

Now, the compiler back end for the CPU may not exist any more, but I wouldn't think that would be all that hard to reproduce.
Those quotes were to show that the article didn't take findings out of context - it was a restatement of things in the paper. According to the article it's already passed peer review, where reviewers upgraded the findings from 'equivocal' to 'clear' evidence. Both the article and paper seem to focus on cancers - not death.

I have never seen that. I have only ever seen the “real” available space being shown by tune2fs, not df or anything similar, which have always shown the space available after subtracting the reserved space.

This isn't new. It's a system to furnish high-quality and cheap laborers. Grad students and postdocs in big-name institutions are like all the hopeful would-be film actors hanging around LA.

I agree with you.

At Facebook-scale the data is massive -- far bigger than anyone here could possibly comprehend and that includes the Facebook and Google-ers lurking around.

Data has incredible inertia. And when there's a lot of it, in a lot of different places, I can imagine that it becomes very difficult to keep track of.

I'm glad that Facebook's data export tool included some things that maybe it didn't expect to.

I always feel dirty when completing them, for this exact reason. Most places I'll just leave, unless I absolutely must reach the website.

The way I see it, you have two options:

- Allow Google to extensively track all your activity online, or

- Do free work for Google

And Google's convinced many webmasters to embed their recaptcha, so no matter where I go I have to give something up to Google. At least I felt better about it when I was helping OCR books.
I wish you the best, but there's no one to talk to because no one has succeeded doing it. No science is done by independent researchers. You'd be limited to a very tiny sliver of research that doesn't require staff or expensive equipment. You'd be doing research without the support network of peers in a department, or colleagues at a conference to talk to. We should not advertise this as an option since it might make the gullible think this is feasible to do.
Probably isn't just for the hardware.

almost 15% of google's revenue in q4 2017 was hardware/cloud/subscriptions. there's possibly a bump in hardware since it's q4, but 'in the realm of 99%' is not close at all. and this is trending upwards.

I'd think there would be significant variation in that simply due to weather. If I remember right, the atmosphere expands quite a bit on a sunny day.

It's exactly the same model used by fitness clubs worldwide. And Comcast cable Internet, Google Fiber, every DSL provider, even every cellular data provider.

Current true bandwidth costs about $0.50 (50 USD cents) per Mbps, per month, sometimes even less.

Average 1 month usage of a 1Mbps link that has Internet traffic on it is about 175-210GBytes.

Literally less than 1/3rd of 1 penny, per GB of data.
It's very specifically not a holy book because it does not hide any reasoning or ask you to take anything on faith. Quite the opposite - all of his working is shown, every assumption is stated, and you are very explicitly given the tools to calculate and update his work as new advances and considerations emerge. There is a whole chapter on not-the-UK, and how the math changes. The reason the book was such a global success is not because it was a statement of opinion about UK energy policy, but a proper treatment in how to thing about energy production and use, the tools for which can be applied anywhere.
Seems like the [VC funded] startup grind. Working college grads to death with the hope of being Mark Zuckerberg (or maybe not anymore). But mostly to make billionaires even richer.

This article piqued my interest in Aerojet!

I thought just apple filesystem (assuming you're on SSD) would be enough to make you want to upgrade.
It's kind of unsurprising. As soon as you upload some data into another system that you do not fully control, you can't really expect or trust the other party to discard it because you want to.

Unless there's a good an easy way to store that kind of data and share it with End-to-End encryption (and the server NEVER has access to those keys) so that only authorized users can view the plain data, that problem will remain.
Technically the sign support sticks aren’t signs. And some of the signs clicked on weren’t street signs, if you identify street signs as those put up by a government agency to regulate or assist with driving on a street. Also, he clicked a hotel, which isn’t a storefront. When Google says storefront they mean a multi-tenant store facing a street with a big sign indicating the store’s name or purpose. Sometimes these locations are closed, but they rarely look like hotels, houses or apartments. I have also had to pass, twice, by saying nothing was relevant and not clicking anything. I’ve also had it show me streets with cars and had it ask me to select storefronts... (Trick questions, maybe to see if I click wrong then change my mind?) And I’m much more likely to get it wrong on my iPhone than on a computer, perhaps Google doesn’t have as much mouse movement data that way, and can’t fingerprint an iPhone as uniquely?

Native Spanish speaker from Paraguay, here.

Perhaps part of the reason is that many "hacker-geeks" who speak Spanish natively and are highly vocal as to being able to form an online community, tend to have viewpoints which are even more radical to the left than those from the U.S. At least, that was my experience with barrapunto, which is/was something like the Spanish version of Slashdot. Too left-wing for my stomach, and they can also be extreme in their communication. Suffice it to say, I was doxxed there and my sin was to be more conservative than other users. After that, I left, never to return there. Why would I lose my time with such people?

The same way you verify it now. The technology does not change the process of physically inspecting the product. It makes it far easier to coordinate the paperwork of certifying and verifying.

At it's heart logistics is a global concurrency problem. The "locks" we use now are large sprawling bureaucracies that manually coordinate the transfer of information among many independently moving agents. Getting information into and out of this organization is a tedious, labor-intensive, and time consuming process. The technology that empowers cryptotokens is an alternate computerized concurrency management for this kind of information transfer and lookup that doesn't rely on a central organization or system.

> I wish you the best, but there's no one to talk to because no one has succeeded doing it.

There are many examples. Charles Darwin is the most famous. In my field (fluid dynamics) Robert Kraichnan is also well known and influential.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_scientist

Of course, plenty of cranks go this route too. It's an option, not a panacea.

> You'd be limited to a very tiny sliver of research that doesn't require staff or expensive equipment.

Not a problem for me as a theorist. And I believe that expensive equipment is overused in my field anyway.

I also disagree that this is a "tiny sliver" of the research. Computation and theory is roughly half the research in my field, and I suspect this is true for many fields.

If this option doesn't work for you, don't do it.

> You'd be doing research without the support network of peers in a department, or colleagues at a conference to talk to.

I disagree. Collaboration does not require "official" status, and neither does attending a conference. In my field, no one cares what your affiliation is. At worst I could start a consulting company, which I'd probably do anyway. Plenty of consultants attend conferences in my field and collaborate with researchers in government, industry, and academia.
The level of spend could probably have approached zero, given the flawed candidate dems put up.
That's not true. What if you want to support un-delete? That's a reason.
Right, there have to be stringent stipulations that they can only hold the data for a set period of time, it must be deleted and zeroed out in the right way, and they have to make a new request when their license time on it expires. Overall, it's completely feasible, but still a totally new area of consumer protection.
Fitting time for this article to be posted, as I'm mourning the loss of a great person, and my best friend.

What makes it twice as difficult is knowing that we've both put in so much work and effort in the friendship and it's extremely unlikely that anything like that will happen again in my lifetime (don't have nearly enough time as we did back in high school and college). Having someone on your intellectual level and at the same life progression as you to bounce ideas off of is incredibly valuable and anchoring.

If you have someone like this - please cherish them as best you can and understand how much they are making you better.
It irks me when I see people say things like "life was so much better before all this technology".

I think we've come far enough to realize that there are many business models to the concept of software being delivered in a browser as a service. The original model was companies paying a monthly fee for a subscription. Now we have many different types of models. The point is that FB makes an application for consumers and businesses. It is delivered as a service through a browser.
It is the mental and the syntactic overhead. For a simple reference to say my framebuffer can become more complicated than they should need to be.

Usually things of form `a && a.b && a.b.c && a.b.c.d` are a sign of a law of demeter violation. This applies to more than javascript. I view code like this as a sign that there might be a better way, as opposed to a stedfast rule. Refactoring to remove these types of violations tends to lead to better code.
No none of those are it. I believe it was before the elction that the article came out. There was a picture of someone reading the paper CA was supposedly based upon in the article. Someone zoomed in and found the paper.

I'll keep looking.

0xBitcoin: Bitcoin has been ported onto an Ethereum smart contract. PoW mining
0xBitcoin
Decentralized Ethereum Payments
http://0xbitcoin.org

Symbol:
0xBTC

Bitcoin was ported onto Ethereum as 0xBTC on Feb-06-2018 04:03:46 AM +UTC. It is the first PoW-mineable erc-20 token.
It has the same halvings, difficulty, eras, and total coin cap of Bitcoin, but with the speed, and versatility of an ERC20 token on Ethereum.

The purpose of this project is to provide the Ethereum community with a tool. This tool is the first truly Proof of Work mined token on Ethereum.
This tool is also the first decentralized payment mechanism on Ethereum besides Ether itself. This is important because Ether is not designed to be a currency or to be a base pair.
It is designed to be the lifeblood for the Ethereum Network. Ether is only a 'means to an end' for that purpose and would not exist if the Ethereum network could be secured without it.

https://medium.com/@admazzola/the-case-for-the-mineable-erc20-token-78cbb4c34331

Attributes:

- No premine

- No ICO

- Mine for free with a CPU/GPU in a pool or solo

- Decentralized community and ownership (Operated as a DAO)

- There is no company or central entity controlling or operating this
- Mine and transfer exactly like bitcoin, but 10x faster and 100x cheaper

- Interfaces with smart contracts for storing and transferring value, unlike Ether. (Ether is not intended to be used for payments and is not a token.)
