Which gets back to the original point. If you use format that can be more easily recovered, then having the same amount of copies, you're data is more secure.

You've probably been downvoted because it's perceived as showing off, but it is a nice setup.

I've also spend more time than I'm willing to admit with planning researching configuring and maintaining different backup strategies, and just wanted to say that I regret some of that. It's easy to become data hoarder and it's easy to spend more time on preserving it than it is actually worth. I mean, think about how much of this data is worth to people other than you, i.e. what happens to it when you die. Life's short and there are so many things that are more exciting than backups.

Don't get me wrong though. Backups are important.Just know how much exactly are they important to you.
Oh and let's not even get into the fact that the modern English accent would sound completely foreign to the English of the 1700's than the does the modern American accent (regional variances excluded).

Language is weird. I always find it strange when people get upset even though meaning is clear but syntax/structure defies what they expect. Then again, I did get in to a bit of a row with YC staff about posting style.

TL;dr- Language preference is typically just a way of enforcing classist beliefs.
Sure, CDMA vs OFDM, definitely they can be regarded as "material difference" But that's not the logic/argument the original article made. They only used bandwidth and delay to quantify "material difference". Following their logic, they can make the same argument for 3G vs 4G back in the day.

The final article, is the most telling, in its revelations. Of course, you must speak the language to understand IBM's gartner magic quadrant-esqe based reasoning: Their argument is because a bunch of businesses they convinced to sign up have 'Watson' stamped on their engagement contracts, it's PROOF that Watson is breakthrough technology, catapulting research into a new era of big data and machine learning....lol

I'm not saying some of the things that IBM claims it does, cannot be currently done, but I no doubt at all the IBM is not doing it, and Watson is most certainly behind closed doors a complete joke.

> I don't see why someone "deserves to be fired" for their political views, no matter how racist, as long as they don't let their views impact the performance of their duties.

I agree if by "political views" you mean things like monetary policy or foreign policy. But I personally couldn't ask women to work with people who think they shouldn't be in the workplace, or LGBT people to work with people who think they're irredeemable abominations, or people of color to work with people who think they're inferior because of their race. To me, these views disqualify you from being a productive member of society and I don't really classify them as political views. For example, I don't think anti-semitism is a political view, I think it's just hatred and bigotry. Further, I'm mildly offended when I see people equating "bigotry against conservatives" with "bigotry against historically oppressed groups", because those oppressed groups have suffered intense physical harm. Conservatives really have not. Another reason this whole thing is a false equivalence.

> people are driven from moderate positions to the opposite extremist positions, because the people harassing them are just so unreasonable, and moderate leftists like yourself have zero sympathy for them. This is one way radicalization can happen.

Mostly I agree, but I don't think that in general "the people who are harassing them" are being unreasonable. I think culture in the US is largely sexist, racist, and homophobic and we've gotten used to it as we've grown up in it. It's not hard to find someone saying something offensive. I do think it's a shame that otherwise good people are caught up in stuff like this. But I think it's worse that women, LGBT people, and people of color have had to live in this culture.

Blockchain Is About to Revolutionize the Shipping Industry
This was originally misreported, and has now been updated. It appears users have not been auto-enrolled.

Article title is now "Facebook starts its facial recognition push to Europeans".

From the correction:

"This article was updated with a series of corrections after Facebook confirmed the notifications are in fact the rollout of its new consent flow, not part of the earlier tests. It has also told us categorically that no users were auto-enrolled in facial recognition tech in Europe — even in the test. So we’ve updated this article accordingly."
Not sure how they calculate fines like these but it sure should work something like the following:

$100M + [(entire bank profit gained from illegal activity) * 7.0] + [(number of people screwed) * (average fees charged per person) * 2.0]

In addition, there should be a stipulation that the bank cannot (in present or future) pay the fee through employee layoffs or other cop-outs. Ideally, the government is able to require fine payments to come directly from executive compensation or by selling assets, etc.

My guess is it would come out to, let’s say, a hell of a lot more than this.
Brings up a question about the GDPR: do you have to delete any data on someone, or just data they entered? If they get the facial recognition working so they can recognize people in instagram photos and whatnot, then they'll be able to have data on you even if you're not a user. It's part of why I never liked people "tagging" me in photos.
The _only_ benefit of a large bank like Wells Fargo is that they're nearly everywhere, and I can deposit or withdraw money from any branch without paying a fee.

They do not offer any other service or product that comes close to competing with my local credit union (or even most small banks).

Funny how people never seem to be as grateful as you'd think for this valuable service.

I really wish companies let you have a look at the codebase before you started. Like, sign an NDA and give you 15 minutes to look at it.

But not in Finland. So at least their tax law has symmetry in this regard.
Private companies don't own spectrum, they lease it. They pay the government substantial sums of money for the temporary, revocable right to use a chunk of spectrum. Light is already nationalised, the government just chooses to rent it out, partly on the basis of need and partly on a market basis. That allocation system isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than declaring everything from DC to daylight an ISM band and letting the users have at it.
In the suburbs there is a lot of regulation and that’s a good thing, but there are a lot of places in the US where you can build with literally or virtually zero building codes. (Except, usually, for septic).

Hey there, I already answered here in the thread - we are not an email solution please see my other reply to ris. Hope people will at least read the thread or the website before posting negative feedback.
Not against them. I'm against them being required by law. (Some safety standards should definitely be part of the law). But if the law limits hours then it hurts some people more--if they didn't have to pay overtime, you might be able to work twice as many hours. For many programmers, working 1.5x as many hours might be worth 1.5x the salary. But if the company is required to pay for overtime by law, it may be more economical to just hire new workers. In that case, the guy who wants to work overtime is at a disadvantage. This is similar to what happens in part time jobs where people want to work more hours but it's cheaper for the company to hire someone else. The long-term effect is that people have to work 3 part time jobs to get by rather than 1 full time job where there's more opportunity for growth/raises.

With health and safety standards, there's always going to be some really shitty jobs. For example, in terms of health and safety mining coal is pretty undesirable. But if nobody is doing the job, the demand still stays there and the position is available for much higher pay. If you could earn $500k a year doing a job that's destructive to your body it can still be very much worth it. Of course, most of these workers either have few choices for work or are not totally aware of all the health issues associated with their jobs. This is obviously of concern, but I don't think banning the job outright is the right way to go.
people still build houses these days, even by themselves. will you really be so easily defeated by mere regulations? are they so fearful that you cannot even try?

i spent 9 months building homes with habitat for humanity and found the regulations largely reasonable (like steel strapping for earthquake resistance). the lackadaisicalness of the inspectors on the other hand was frustrating. most of the build could have been done by a single person who possessed determination, ingenuity and loads of time.
Google dominated non-SMS chat in the late 2000s/early 2010s

My social group was dominated by BBM & Skype until iMessage & Facebook Messenger took over. I've always assumed Google's efforts around messaging were because they had a niche product inside Gmail that they wanted to make more consumer friendly, hence the constant attempts to rebrand it.
With regard to the FTC, the agreement with them was reached specifically to keep it out of court. No judge or jury ruled on the merits of the allegations. A judge may have been involved, but only to approve the terms of the settlement. To my knowledge no US court has ever made the kind of finding you were implying they have.

With regard to the European countries, I guess I should have been more specific in my question in limiting it to the US. Finding of fault by European courts/governments against large US corporations is nothing new and doesn’t imply any illegal intent on the part of the accused. Cash-starved, often socialist governments found throughout Europe will always find ways to use their broadly written laws to obtain badly needed government revenue from US corporations. In fact GDPR is just a massive expansion of this strategy.

My main hesitancy with the really domain specific courses offered in college is that the careers associated with them are all or nothing. Adding stuff like machine learning/AI, cryptography, etc. to your skill set as a standard software engineer is super hard to do in a practical manner.
What Scala features can't you use?
Yeah, but if you have ever tried any wood working or home repair with modern tools I have a hard time you would believe this is easy. For example, when he makes cordage or whatever that is a skill you need to learn and practice for a solid 40-80 hours over probably at least a few weeks to really get the hang of it. He probably had many mini skills like that that are invisible or just explained as some specific technique. The editing is fine I guess, it fits with my attention span, at least. If he included all the un-edited stuff you would end up with hours of footage of those mini-skills being applied. Fast forwarding gives some context without hiding it, but it is still nice to just cut scenes I think.
Have been doing this with savings and checking accounts at Ally Bank for over 8 years. Have stuff broken down into emergency fund, slush fund, home buying fund, monthly bills, regular checking, funny money, and some "business" labeled accounts for side projects. You can create an account in about a minute when logged in, though to remove an account you do have to call in, but they have no problem doing it. I have open and closed accounts several times a year when a project dries up or we change how doing finances.

It also doesn't hurt that they have good interest rates, no foreign expense costs, and don't charge for things like debit cards, checks, autodraft, bill pay, etc.

I do think they are USA only though. Not sure how it works for non US citizens.
If only.

All banks, even the local ones, use something called Chex Systems, which works somewhat like Equifax for bank accounts. If you leave an account open with a $0 balance, and something hits it, and causes an overdraft, and accumulates fees, and then they close it later on for you with a negative balance for hundreds of dollars, then this gets reported to Chex and the next time you try to open an account with any other bank, they say, "Nope, we have a record here for you for account abuse."

These records stick around for about 7 years -- longer than many items on a credit report.

That’s probably because it is almost impossible to even find things that are not on one of their (pretty arbitrary) top-5 lists, or things that use their paid-for Search Ads.

Their search lacks even basic filtering, which would have been sad after 1 year of store development, much less over a decade.

I had to add my app’s own name to my limited-length list of search keywords because Apple’s default search wasn’t even finding it when searching by name. Pure trash, especially considering their 30% cut and overall bank.

A similar situation to Python 2->3 in Perl is from Perl 5.6 to Perl 5.26 with the difference being that Perl maintains mostly backwards compatible.

If you are talking about Perl 5->6 that is more like going from C++ to D. (With a touch of Haskell+Go mixed in)

For several years we have been considering the two current Perl's as sister languages. Both are being actively developed with a yearly stable release for Perl 5 and a quarterly stable release for Perl 6. (Rakudo Perl 6 is mostly written in Perl 6 or subset language, and is also a newer codebase; so it is easier to change without breaking things.)
Point taken. Merci.

1 year and 3 months working at Cloudflare: How is it going so far?
I don't think so. Python and data frames is arguably more natural to think about and reason than scala.

I have no doubt that scala is more performant and the "fat" jar mechanism makes dependency management and codeshipping very easy (it's still tricky to install python dependencies on your spark nodes), but the pandas ecosystem is definitely more intuitive to understand.
For me faster.js seems to be slower in Safari about 2-3ms.

So if you're an executive, you know what to do...

And if you're a shareholder, is a billion dollar fine compared against 88.4 billion in 2017 revenue sufficient to sustain your motivation in an endless fight against the backscratching director and executive culture?

You misunderstand. The intermediate step in programming productivity has nothing to do with any particular language. I would have not done "Scala 3", but something else that implements "intermediate step up in programming productivity and correctness". Probably something a bit radical, but hey development is so stagnant when it comes to way we program, it would've been worth the risk.

The thing that makes sbt difficult in practice for me is twofold. I don't want to deliver hackedy shit to a client that I then have to defend if their quality control comes back complaining about it. Being able to use regular scala in sbt definitions is convenient but at the cost of making things expressable that should wisely be done another way.

Which brings me to the second point which is getting a sbt definition from a client and then they don't want to change it, or they don't have quality control so it's just awful, or its so bad that someone has to rewrite it for the solution. The latter being the easiest to deal with, but that also costs time.

For those looking, what things do you feel have most improved the sbt experience?
