Indeed. If you are going to do this then your capital has two jobs, it has to support you while you travel, and it has to bootstrap you back into Western life when you return (such as covering rent/deposit on a mortgage etc etc while you job hunt). Three jobs in fact as it has to give you a buffer for emergencies, if you have a health situation or need a quick repatriation for any reason. Traveling means not living like a local in a poor country, because the locals aren't hopping on a plane at the drop of a hat, they live where they live and are pretty much stuck there. And you won't be having much fun if you have money worries hanging over your head!

Without thinking about it especially much I'd guess you'd want at least a mil in capital to pull this off, perfectly possible to achieve living a frugal lifestyle while working in Big Tech for 10 years - if you could bear it for that long.
I know this sounds like conspiracy theory and I can't tell you if this is a trend or not but I've heard about it from several people. To add to your point, the inspector has more incentive and justifiable reason to scrap the car altogether (salvage title).

Then, the inspector can buy the salvage car for pennies on the dollar, fix it, and sell it with a salvage title.
With the caveat that the stored events are not conflicting with each other. So a central instance needs to check each event for validity before allowing it into the log. The check cannot be parallelized easily without introducing races between event insertions.
Good theory, but you’d have to know the incremental cost of the lower emissions on a per-vehicle basis, and what effect those costs have on purchasing decisions (taking into account alternatives and so on). First, is there any basis for assuming a more fuel efficient car is in fact more expensive to produce on a per-unit basis? For example, a smaller car will be more fuel efficient than a larger car using the exact same technology. Of course there are probably some approaches that do cost more, like using more expensive materials that are lighter in weight or something. But even so, let’s talk percentage difference. Is the MSRP 1% higher? 2%? It’s pretty preposterous to suggest that someone were talking about here (lower class rural) is going to be buying a new car anyways, and that a small increase in the purchase price will swing that decsuson. If you make minimum wage and you want a new F150, whether it’s $35k or $36k ain’t gonna matter - you can’t afford it anyways. So we’re talking used market down the road, and that higher initial purchase price will be discounted at the rate used cars depreciate, so our couple of percent increase is now a fraction thereof.
Yeah, the 'best' care is needed mostly for critical life threatening situations and for emergency situations such as accidents/fire etc. If one were to see the relief camps or first aid offered during war, it becomes pretty evident that a well sterilized plastic bag should suffice for IV. Probably not even costing 50$.
If you're willing to travel much slower you don't have to buy plane tickets; trains are much cheaper in most parts of the world. If they did base the number on their current expenses, presumably they'll be fine with the kind of lifestyle they'll be able to afford. Of course they'll need to get back to work if they ever want to increase their spending, but that doesn't really leave them worse off.
Sorry, I disagree.

Just because Amazon sucks, does not mean we need to retreat into full-on anarchy over this. Craigslist is also a marketplace and it isn't the behemoth Amazon is.

Also, Amazon provides a lot more than just a market-place. Everything from "inventory tracking to tax collection to credit card processing". These are no trivial features.

You could have started a regular, centralised, open market-place - by the community, for the community type of deal - and get the same benefits. Of course, selling "medicine" would be difficult.. but we all know that is not what this is about, right?

Easily yes, but I don't think it would be efficient. AWS Lambda, from what I can tell, doesn't launch a new process for each request; instead, it just "freezes" the process between each request, and then call a function to handle it.

In that regard, it's closer to FastCGI than CGI itself.

other than that i have a few options for off grid power in case of extended periods of power loss
You obviously have not dealt with the US government. Take it from someone who was, is and will likely be scarred several years from dealing with the US Government (esp. US Immigration), this scenario is very real.
Exactly! This is a ploy by them sneaky liberals of the democrat party to pay back their wealthy donors in the fossil fuel industry and shield incumbent carmakers like GM and Ford from the existential threat that is Tesla. It’s genius!
Yes, in my opinion it's flimsy and feels cheap, not as bad as some cheap Asus laptops, but worse even than a Dell Latitude, and the Dell is way worse than a Macbook or a ThinkPad.

I'm from a third world country(Germany) and we don't have cheap LTE access. I pay more than 40€/month (about 50 USD) for 4GB of LTE and I got my contract for half of what it would normally cost. The reception is very poor and I barely ever see the LTE popping up on my phone, most times it's just 3G. And that's in the ex-capitol of Germany. If I visit my parents, which live barely a 45 minute drive outside of the city, I got no phone reception at all (not even emergency calls). My provider (Vodafone) claims to have the best coverage of Germany.
Wired internet is very spotty, too. There are still a lot of parts within the cities, where you barely get a downstream of 1 Mbit/s.
So yes, when I say that Germany is a "third world country", I mean it (at least regarding the internet coverage).
I'm a web developer (my wife is an admin) and when we searched for a new home, we've had to turn down a lot of offers, because the houses/flats didn't have a proper internet connection.
Now we're getting our internet though cable but because the cables are to old, we can't get TV over cable at the same time.

Sorry, needed to get that out. I'm a little frustrated here, because I have been in several poor countries (Africa, Thailand, Moldowa) and they've all had a way better internet coverage than Germany.

I'd say Segways are practical, although I've never had the opportunity to try one. They still are produced. They are likely the best way I've seen to increase a human's range of travel in human-scale environments, both indoor and outdoor. I have seen them used by park rangers and tourists, mostly. The main barrier to adoption seems to be the high price.
But would you really trust the same company? This is the company that put their malware into the BIOS so that even if you reinstalled OS, the BIOS would go into your hard drive and reinstall itself.

I wanted to write "the problem is less the unprofessionalism of the benchmarkers, but the kind of benchmarks they are running. Not being real games they won't accurately reflect performance in them." Ofc, that is kind of the bias I work with, gaming performance is the most important factor, it's the default profile. But actually, the average benchmark position of gpus is pretty good. It looks like they were very careful in selecting synthetic benchmarks that reflect gaming performance accurately. Did that change?

I now look at cpus again.... yeah, there it would not work, that is too far off of what I see in gaming performance. But cpus are hard, with single and multi/threaded performance differing so much and having different effects in each game you look at.

So imho one could only use the gpu ranking, but the gpus are not hard to rank anyway :)

But now I wonder whether that would not be a good data source for SSD and HDD performance. Maybe even for RAM...

Thanks for your thoughts, you made me take a second look on something I had discarded earlier!
Unless I'm reading the abstract incorrectly, 10% of judges were consistent, 10% were consistent within the top 3, and 80% were terrible. Being a home brewer of beer, this matches my experience pretty closely. Surely, this supports the idea that some people are more skilled than others, though.

> Constructing an inaccurate one to justify the current distribution of wealth and power is a racist act.

Good thing it doesn't try to justify anything.

> Why, when the Maori obtained firearms, was one of their first acts to go massacre a nearby island's population, while when the Hawaiians got them, the result was a war of unification?

All I know about that "war of unification" is what I just read on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_of_Hawaii, but "the introduction of European weapons gave some Ali'i an advantage over others, and they began aggressively taking over their neighbors" sounds pretty much the same as "go massacre a nearby island's population".

What's the difference you are trying to construct between these two cases of people going out and killing their neighbors?

The legal argument is "yes they do", but the first few pages of the document are "but we understand why US citizens might assume the opposite because here's a laundry list of all the times we ignored that in the past".

As a non-citizen, the internal arguments of the US legal system aren't very interesting to me, but the historical record of how the US treats non-citizens is. The US has clearly demonstrated that in practice, non-citizens are not protected by the same rights.

Ask HN: Is sharing data with Apple no longer optional? (macOS 10.13.4)
I just installed macOS 10.13.4. There used to be a "choose what data you share with Apple" screen that popped up after installing updates. It allowed you to disable analytics and other non-essential data collection.

That screen seems to be gone now and instead they show one that says they believe privacy is a human right so they made an icon for it (?!) showing you what data you share when. I clicked continue and logged into my account - the app store was still open and it immediately showed me the new icon alongside some text that explained that they create a profile based on my downloads etc. (As far as I can tell that popup is only shown once so I can't re-read the text.)

Anyway I fell like I just lost the option to opt-out of their analytics thing. Does anyone here now more about that?

The problem is when--like in my case--people develop a project for a client and then go on with their lives, until the client notices a bug, or wants to implement a new feature months after.

I tried to explain the client that I needed to upgrade the code before even being able to understand what the problem was, and I lost the client.

> is there any basis for assuming a more fuel efficient car is in fact more expensive to produce on a per-unit basis? For example, a smaller car will be more fuel efficient than a larger car using the exact same technology.

This comes up pretty frequently in car discussions. Making smaller cars helps you meet American fuel efficiency requirements, but it's terrible if you also want to (have to) meet American crash safety requirements.
Having used both American-style toilets and first world-style toilets, I'd say the former is stinkier simply because there are often remnants left behind after people give up/toilets get clogged. Throughout my life in America, I saw clogged and filthy toilets more times per year than I could possibly count. Honestly, I was always a little afraid using the toilet when I ate a little too much the day before since there was a good chance of being clogged. Clogged toilets are comparatively rare in other countries I've been to, and I've never personally clogged one outside of America (yet).

It's still a niche market. Tourists use them because they are rare (so Segways are marketed as a tourist experience). This puts them in the realm of donkey rides and pedal boats as far as the tourist market is concerned.

Their practical use is limited to places where cheaper, simpler alternatives can't be used — this basically means places you wouldn't use a bicycle or electric scooter because of the collision risk or space constraints, like shopping malls. Even in large data centres and huge warehouses people would choose bicycles over Segways ­— a dedicated indoor bicycle is cheap and quite low maintenance.
Trump is objectively a terrible person and an even worse politician.

His approval reasons would be in the dumps, media influence or not.

You're making a pretty wild assertion, that Trump's and Obama's approval ratings would be equal if it wasn't for media influence. How do you propose normalizing that?

How would you do that? Please give an example that doesn't entail making up numbers from subjective whole cloth.
Lets Encrypt enables SCTs embedded in certificates
That title is highly editorialized. The actual effect is just that .eu domains will have to be renewed through a registrar that's established in the EU. Most major registrars probably already fulfill that requirement, and those that don't shouldn't have any problem with founding an EU subsidiary.

EDIT: Missed the part where "Accredited
.eu
Registrars
will not be entitled to process any request for the registration of
or for renewing registrations of .eu domain names by those [UK] undertakings, organisations
and persons." Still, I bet the vast majority of domains will be transferred to some shell entity in the EU, even if it's just domain owners selling off domains they can't renew anymore.

Swift is popular on their platforms, just like .NET used to be popular only on Windows, or even Java used to run better on Solaris back in the day.

OS companies care about their own developers, getting their own languages used outside of their eco-systems, only when it matters to their bottom line.
Why’d you list Python twice?
This entire situation is a barely contained disaster. Doing all the steps listed at the top of the article is not only exhausting and error prone, it also dramatically lowers write performance.

The most frustrating part is that (as I understand it) SSD and NVME hardware exposes strict read and write ordering to the OS anyway. That would allow file modification code to be written in a way thats both fast and correct. After all, these are the primitives we already know how to use for memory concurrency which enable fast lockless libraries like ConcurrencyKit. But for files, posix only exposes an inconsistently-implemented, coarse, heavyweight fsync() implementation. End users are forced to navigate weird, undocumented, imprecise hoops that are hard to understand, hard to test, and have poor performance just to do the one job the filesystem was supposed to have in the first place.

I'm curious how much better you could do by skipping the OS entirely and making a userspace disk API, similar to DPDK. If your database code stores data in a single data file anyway, you wouldn't lose much by ditching the filesystem. (You would need specialised tools to do backups and figure out how much space you have free, but it might be worth it.)

I've been writing my own tiny implementation of Kafka recently. I was reading through Kafka's design docs to figure out how they solved this problem. Kafka basically gives up on trusting the OS to store files safely. Instead they figure any fault tolerant kafka deployment will be a cluster of machines, so kafka stores all messages (+checksums) across all cluster instances. It hopes at least one of the machines in the cluster will survive without corruption when power goes out.

SpyHunter 4.28 Crack and Email and Password 2018 Full Version
I feel your pain. Germany is a bit of an anomaly in the 'West'. Even mobile contracts are stupidly hard to get out of.

I lived in Germany for about 5 years. Half of that the last 300m of connection to my house were over the thinnest legally allowable copper wire. 3.2mbps max speed down on a very very good day (usually sub 2mbps), about a tenth or slightly more up.

My in-laws previous house was semi-detached and the neighbours house have fiber, but theirs didn't. Same actual building but KabelDeutschland wouldn't run an extension just 2 meters to the wall on my in-laws actual house.

And I mean 'won't' not "couldn't". They scoped the cost and agreed to pay for it to be done, even at the overinflated price, and KD actually said they didn't want to do it.
