This makes me wonder (without judgement) how the engineers at Tesla and Uber are mentally handling the recent events.
Manual tags require a lot of curation and upkeep, but some "tags" are really just restatements of attributes or facts about a file, like search filters, e.g. ("Pictures downloaded from the web on 2018-04-05", "Files created during installation of World of Warcraft", "Files opened in the last two weeks").

In fact, a tag-based document filesystem is largely useless without powerful search, where tag keys and values can be searched at will.
I don't understand why more people don't use Solaris Zones, they seem to me to be the superior solution by far, and with work done by Joyent you now have modern LX-branded zones also. Is the lack of adoption mainly due to the fact that it's Solaris, and not Linux?

(Solaris lives on in Illumos et al)

I'll tell you a bit of to what extend does the determination of current Western political establishment is in fighting mafia:

May, and. co, and many of her predecessors gloss over terminology of rule of law, and that they can't do anything with mafia mansions unless the guilt of an owner is legally proved - this is a lie.

In both UK, and the US the executive branch has a carte blanch laws to do anything with whose ever property these days, as well as to warrantlessly wiretap them, and put them in indefinite detention.

For example, a no fly list, an OFAC SDN non-person list, EU red list. An executive branch has an unlimited power to put anybody on such list. Being put on that list effectively gives a designated person an effect of Orwell's non-personhood. A right way to deal with those mafiosos, yet have you ever seen anybody, anymuch major being put there?
Have you watched the video? It looks animated to me.
"Unlimited detail" I think it was called. And yes, I even thought this might be them for a second.
Does anyone know how it compares to bootcamps like DataCamp[0] for e.g?

Sorry if it wasn't clear in the article!
- You can get to our homepage from the header that says Monocle
- I added a link at the very start of the article

In short, Monocle is a service that we're building to push your bank transactions to GSuite. Part of it is you get a nice spreadsheet that acts as a dashboard. You can see an example on http://bit.ly/monocledemo

The chatroom is used for live support. Honestly, I think it's easy for someone to get overwhelmed in Sheets and have a bunch of open questions. In that context, I think that live chat is superior as a means to help someone, than say sending support tickets or such. So I wanted a solution that would let people chat with us from within the spreadsheet.

Being based on Google Sheets, we were lucky to be in web. So I looked for ways to embed something in Sheets, which led me to two options: Sidebars and Dialogs. They allow embedding, which works well with Discord. So we decided to use this solution to provide people with live support.
Regarding the article itself: Brett Victor is amazing and so is Strogatz. They are both my heroes actually.

But I do think there is a difference between scientific professionals communicating amongst each other and scientific communication to the public. And if mathematicians understood Strogatz his paper at the time when it was published, and there were enough mathematicians to disseminate the knowledge, then should you require that you create algorithms as animations?

Part of the reason why mathematicians and computer scientists (as researchers) conceive of new algorithms in the first place is because a lot of them are very strong in visualizing algorithms and 'being their own computer'.

Though, if a scientist wants to appeal to a broader group of scientists, then I'd recommend her or him to use every educational tool possible. For example, they could create an interactive blogpost a la parable of the polygons[1] and link that in their paper.

On an unrelated note, it is such a pity ncase isn't mentioned at all in this article!

Also related is explorabl.es, not everything is science communication in an interactive way but a lot of it is[2].

Someone in that situation likely isn't going to be able to get a single full time job because employers are cheap and don't want to pay for benefits. Getting paid multiple paychecks in a two-week period is not at all unrealistic. If they are working non-formal employment they could easily getting paid for a single day of work some times.

Some one who manages to get 40 hours a week of work at minimum wage of $7.25 minus 7.65% for FICA taxes is getting $1,116 a month. Take out rent, transportation and food and there is not going to be much left over for buying things that you don't need right away.

You seem to be completely out of touch with the way people in poverty live if you think people aren't living paycheck to paycheck and have money left over after paying essential expenses.

Taken literally just CR seems very odd.

You probably know this, but LF is "line feed" which advances the feed.

CR is "carriage return" which puts the carridge to the start of the line.

The combination makes sense because it does both, it returns the carriage and advances the line.

Just LF kind of makes sense because when you advance the line you can think of the line being empty.

But conceptually just CR suggests returning the carriage but that doesn't imply the newline.

Of course the terminology is originally from type-writers so it doesn't have to make sense, but it does seem odd that some systems chose just CR.
For context this is the outcome of a failed Kickstarter.

It’s disappointing that they didn’t stick to the goals of the Kickstarter which was a straight update of the original.

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.polygon.com/platform/amp...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598858095/system-shock...

This is probably the next best thing to completing the Kickstarter since clearly they’ve run out of funds.

I’m not angry that the money is gone but it is s classic software engineering error for scope to blow out and the budget to disappear as a result with inevitable project cancellation.

So it’s my money, and the money of the other Kickstarter backers, that gives you this source. You’re welcome.

To the credit of Nightdive, this is the most likely path through which system shock 1 will be cleaned up and updated, hopefully with usable controls as opposed to the flat out unusable controls of the original.

While Coinbase might have scaled their support, it’s also important to highlight than the number of tickets received in the first 3 months of 2018 is nothing compared to that of the end of 2017 (the Bitcoin network fee crisis).

Given the size of the support team now, would Coinbase still get backlogged if we were to have a repeat of that time?

This was literally the result of the Cold War.

Partially the same as above, also, there's no denying that they're isn't any suffering because of the Internet.

These mostly came about because of mechanization or better technology…
Right now PoW blockchain doesn't require energy consumption to scale with # of tx or even total value tx, but rather with value tx * time spent waiting for confirmations * probability of double spend attempt.

Unless we start seeing cartels that would aggregate tx that they'd like to see double spend having a long tail of users and tx means that the likelyhood that you'll be targeted for a double spend attack decreases.

All that to say that you don't necessarily need to increase the electricity spend to extend the same security to more people.
If it makes MIT feel better, I don't think "ethics" when I think of MIT. I think technological leadership and excellence, but definitely not ethics. For starters, they have plenty of collaborations with the military (e.g., MIT Lincoln Labs; not saying that can't be ethical... but it usually means someone's going to die). Nothing to be ashamed of. Somebody's gotta do it...
On your integration -- you won't have to change anything if you're currently using Stripe Subscriptions. You can continue as you are.

There's actually quite a few things you can do on your end to minimize declines (pass us the right information at the time of charge, segment your decline reason codes in Sigma, experiment with trials, etc.) that can help reduce passive churn.

You have that problem in every industry where your products can kill people. If you produce cars, medical devices, Space Shuttles or drugs there is a good chance that a mistake will kill people. There is no way around it and people have to deal with it. You only hope that you can be confident that you have done your best with the knowledge you had at the time.
Measurement systems affect culture but they are not culture in and of themselves. Countries have changed systems, but their cultures clearly have not. In fact I think the fact that many countries have switched demonstrates that it's not something cultural, rather one of practicality. There's a strong school of thought in the US that the government creating standards is "interferring" etc, that's possibly a reason why they haven't changed. Your argument reads that there's no need for change because it's cultural and easier just to keep things the way are. However if things were really like that, languages would have never evolved. People change, we get new ideas, and move on.

In every language you'll have phrases that relate to things from a long time ago, that doesn't mean they have a right to stay. The US has kept to the imperial system, which is your decision, but it's just few other people can understand your steadfastness.

In the UK we have phrases similar to what you mentioned regarding basketball rules, etc. They've stayed and quite rightly; also in russian and french we still have some of these words. But our general attitude to measurement systems has changed, for practical reasons, and quite rightly too.
Bragging about first response metrics is a little disingenuous when most of those are automated replies. To answer the question, support is still a disaster and why I left Coinbase last month.
While I agree with you, I spec'd out the Lenovo that the above commenter was referencing costs $5500 with all the "discounts" tossed in. MacBook Pro tops out at $3000 (without going crazy on SSD). I understand that the market for people wanting to spend over $3k on a laptop may be thin, it seems quite easy to just give someone the option to spend $5k on a Macbook Pro if they just have to have it. Why exclude the option?
Happy to check on this for you! I'm tara@stripe.com
>I have 4 for simply asking this question!

That's because it was an awful question implying a voting ring or some other collusion. If you are truly concerned about it, message the mods or flag the post. Don't pollute the conversation with voting conspiracies.

>Notes: Use the down-vote button on this post so that dang can find out who you are.

Don't tempt people to downvote, don't whine about downvotes. Those are both horrifically boring conversation topics so people downvote those comments.
I think I understand what the author is trying to get at - people are sometimes clearly incompetent to do the role they're in - but firing them is a necessity, not an opportunity.

In fact, taking every available opportunity to fire people is biased by the metrics you use. No metric of developer productivity is ever as good as actually working in the same team, and so you'll probably lose:

- anyone who writes tests and refactors code, for being slow

- anyone who maintains the profitable parts of your software, for not having a list of impressive new features they worked on

- anyone who takes time to help their co-workers, because they'll look less productive on paper

- your most senior, most multidisciplinary, and most intelligent employees, because they'll appreciate the first three groups the most, because they can get another job faster, and because firing competent employees sends the message that the business is struggling
What are NPM, Yarn, Babel, and Webpack; and how to properly use them?
Well, to be blunt, if Bernie vs. Clinton is your framework then you a) probably think that my far left politics are unrealistic to the point of insanity and b) have political goals that are well within the liberal mainstream of US politics. That's just a guess, and I'll own that I could be wrong.

You are totally correct that there is no advantage in waiting for an opportunity or some perfect candidate. At the same time, things like welfare to work projects or DREAM acts are not solutions if you want the end of wage labor and the dissolution borders. I don't think electoral politics are going to be able achieve my political goals.

Within your political spectrum, you are probably correct that ignoring the news and failing to phone bank are positions of privilege. Your politics aren't the only ones that people hold here.

I don't expect you to concede to my point that your position indicates that, in the main, you believe that the system you are in "works"; most likely, you'd maintain that your desire to modify that system indicates your dissatisfaction, and that your anger towards the news and support of various reformist politicians is evidence of that dissatisfaction. Once again, those are my assumptions, and I could be wrong about your position.

However, I simply don't believe that politics, as they work where I live, allow for the kinds of changes that I would need in order to feel that I live in a just, verdant, and equitable system. So I don't feel bad in ignoring the news and just doing my best to make things better where I am.
The Saudi money is different in that the university administration today is seeking it out, as opposed to money from historical donors, which the current administration already has. Which is not to say that historical blood money, whether the direct result of (for instance) slave sales [1], or laundered as philanthropy from robber barons is ethically free and clear; rather, if your institution has long been engaged in taking that money, the very least you can do is stop taking it now.

The Internet as we knew it before corporations turned it into the pile of rubbish it is today, was built around open protocols that allowed software from different developers/vendors to talk each other. One could write an email from a Windows client, send it to a Linux server and then read it on a Mac.
We just have to get back to the era of interoperability, possibly retaining the good things learned from experience.
Again, I can't see how anything changed. You have a card and you needed a PIN to use it, before and after the chip was added. Smartly dressed bank officials were around in both times. In either situation/time period, banks would claim "how could someone possibly have got cash/goods without you disclosing your PIN? Our systems are secure!" whereas we know that the systems, before and after the chip, are not 100% secure. Ross Anderson has been instrumental in demonstrating this, for sure.

As I've quoted from the website, there was no change to the consumer protection in the introduction of the chip. Your description applies equally well to court cases before and after the technology changed.
Yeah, but you might feel differently if instead of $200 it had $10m cash. And instead of accidentally coming across it on the ground, you spend months of your own time just walking the streets looking for such a wallet to return. And also the owner is one of the richest men in the world.
Instacart has been my sole interface to Costco over the last year (Sunnyvale area). I think the selection online/in-app is far less than the typical Costco, but the experience boost is legitimate.
Lately the way to activate the cards I've received is to use them at one of the bank's ATM's. Checking a balance is enough.
I know how I would handle it -

We are doing work that will save lives. It will be a long, difficult road, and we will make mistakes; But when we finish this work we will be responsible for saving lives every year. This is the right thing to do, even if getting there means the loss of innocent people.
The comment you replied to was clearly referring to exercising options rather than buying or selling them. An American call option would be an option to buy something on or before a certain date. A European put option would be an option to sell something on a certain date.

>> a new law ... allowing authorities to require a person to explain their stake in a property and how they came to own it

It seems to me that anybody who has the resources to have a network of off-shore shell corporations laundering money for them while owning 24% or less of all of them would have no problem providing a plausible explanation for how they came to own a particular piece of property.
I think most people would agree a tag filesystem or a similar concept is a great idea. I have wanted one myself for a long time. Yet, for some reason, it doesn't take off. Do you think it is just a problem of implementation?
The problem is that if Rust doesn't establish itself in the broader market then the effort of developing it and adding to the browser is pretty questionable. You generally don't want code in a language nobody else uses.

I hope rust will make it but it's very hard to establish a language long-term.
Meta-discussion in articles is generally discouraged and considered off-topic. Downvoting is pretty common of comments that question why an article is on the site or on the front page. If you don't agree that an article should be here, there's a "flag" link for that. No need for discussion; all that does is detract from the people who do think the article belongs here and want to have an interesting discussion about the article itself, and view comments such as yours as noise.

None of this has anything to do with people being "touchy"[0]; we just want to keep comments that further discussion of the article at the top, and off-topic meta discussion out of the way.

[0] I really dislike characterization of most moderation actions with such emotionally-charged language. The vast majority of my downvotes involve little to no emotion at all.

As a former MIT person, I applaud the editorial board here. I had long assumed that despite MIT housing a dissident or two here and there, their primary social mission is to provide technical advice to the people that run the country and elite staff for them. MIT students and staff spend far too much time narrowly focused on (beautiful) math and engineering without properly reflecting on how their hard earned abilities will be used.

It wouldn't surprise me if the internal voice slows to match the typing speed. People that have gone blind have learned to hear and process language at astonishing speeds that an average human couldn't begin to interpret.

I've used a self-hosted Booru for all of my image sorting. It took me roughly 2 months to upload and tag 53,000 images and another week of cleaning up rarely used or redundant tags. Since I used it outside of the Artist/Series/Character hierarchies my Artist/Series/Character hierarchies refer to Topic/Subject/Details.

For example, visualizations of various algorithms would be filed under:

Topic: Computer Science / Subjects: Algorithms, Visualizations / Data: {Algorithm Name}

By personal restriction - something may only be filed under one topic, no more than three subjects, and can have as much data as is relevant. It gets stored under what I believe to be the primary subject.

The #1 problem is I add files to my filesystem without uploading and tagging them to the Booru. Also, since the only open-source Booru software I could find is quite dated/buggy, I'm often fighting the Booru for how I use it. Now that I think about it, this might be a good problem for me to solve myself.
