LogMeIn now too expensive, better options for MomSupport?
Several years ago I moved to a different State and needed a way to do remote tech support for my mom. At the time, LogMeIn had a 2 computer option for $99/year. I thought it was a great price for little peace of mind. Either my wife or myself connect into mom's laptop maybe once every six weeks for either maintenance or troubleshoot.

A year later, they wanted $149.00 with no grandfathering. After an email back and forth, I was able to get the $99 again.

Following year, they wanted $249.99. Again, another email back and forth. Again, another $99.

And just this morning, they want $349.99. I'm done.

So I'm looking for new options for the remote support. The biggest requirement is that I can get onto her computer without her being there to give permission. Installing a widget on her machine is not a problem, just needs to be able to let me in even if it's locked or logged on. Cross platform would be great as all my machines are Apples but not a killer since my wife has a Dell.

What do people use? Thanks!

> Damore was fired for effectively boasting about this exclusion.

He did not boast about it, "effectively" or otherwise. That's a straight-up smear, attacking his character when you can't counter his logic.
What if we only get precisely the amount of energy we require? Each universe won't need infinite energy.
This thought crossed my mind too but then remembered an old stat. The difference is Apples margin. At one point they had something like (these are estimates as I couldn't find on a quick google) 20% smartphone market share for 90% of the profits made from the market.

Tesla is unlikely to take that margin or share of profit from the market.

I feel the bet on Tesla is Elon Musk. And I recognise there is a cult following but consider, how many people in the world have a better chance of opening a new multi-billion dollar category within their company from scratch? If you are going to be on someone, he's not a bad choice.
On the body there is a `overflow: hidden` presumably to fix horizontal overflow. The selector causing this is `[lj-type="stage"]`, so the scrollbar not working without js might be an issue with the library, rather than just the marketing site.
What about the Creative Commons conference and RightsCon? They were both mentioned in the article.
The burden of proof rests on the person making the claim (the person claiming that some smokers/drinkers live to 100) rather than the person challenging it.
While data usage has scyrocketed, voice (call time) has remained constant, or even increased over time. Data usage eats on other items (like tv and desktop use) not call time.

Sort-of. It has a DMZPlus mode, but all it does is assign the public IP to an specific internal device and uses NAT, as well as forwarding all ports, to make it look like that device is onthe public Internet (even though the modem has the same public IP). You can still plug in other devices and they get private IPv4s or parts of your IPv6 prefix and it NATs (the IPv4) those as well (it's to support their VoIP phones and TV service).

It's a shitty hack and it adds a weird layer of indirection that's kinda buggy and doesn't always flow traffic the way you think it's being flowed. The IPv6 stuff gets confusing as well because the modem is still dishing out public IPv6 address, so if you want to advertise them as well, you've got to start slicing up your prefix.

I'm confused by the pricing. Is it $10 a month for up to 10 users and then additional $5 per new user?
And brain cancer detection probably got better as well.
Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) is a top tier AI research conference that attracts people from all over the world, including the leading minds across academia and industry. The main utility many of us get out of it is the in-person interaction with the community -- research ideas are brainstormed, papers are shared and argued, collaborations are developed. Following Trump's immigration policies last year, there was discussion of moving NIPS '17 from Long Beach, CA to Cape Town, South Africa. This year the conference is returning to it's home Montreal; not to mention a lot of AI initiatives are making their way north of the border, unsurprisingly.
I really want to change that. It's a waste of time to be asking people about those things in interviews for application development (and similar) positions. There is a whole other set of skills we should be asking that we don't. Problem solving, distributed systems, failure states, etc. Things that understanding algorithms, compilers, and operating systems have no bearing on. It doesn't hurt to know those things but it is essentially wasted time/space.
Thanks!

Definitely let us know if we can help in any way. We're more than happy to build out any missing functionality you might need to make a transition.
> Markets are a funny thing. Both "dead" languages are thread safe and can easily run separate interpreters per thread.

Perl threading is officially recommended against IIRC? In either case, "threads" in either of them don't share memory (except explicitly and manually), at which point what you have is multiprocessing by a different name.
Roger Dawson's Secrets of Power Negotiating is a classic.
There was some expression that people weren't coming to PyCon 2018 because of Trump, but it did end up selling out a month before the date. I feel like usually it would sell out earlier in past years, but I don't have the dates in front of me. Since this is the "big Python conference", it usually has a lot of international attendance, so it seems like it would be hit particularly hard by this sentiment.

Viktor Orbán versus the Enlightenment
You are responding to a more defensible statement than what was made above, as it said "Americans" and not "voters".

Turnout was 55.7% and Trump got 46.1%, which means he got about 25.7% of the possible voters. Clearly not "almost" a majority.
Why is this downvoted? The article itself is a demonstration that they really do this.

Case in point: If you're not logged in to the FB tracking network, after 5 seconds of reading, you get surprised by this "funny" jump scare: https://i.imgur.com/PCQOo8N.png

Jupyterlab is here. I've been using it basically full-time since August, but it recently went to Beta, so it's ready for use.

The major downside is that it disables JS by default within notebooks, so if you're using Bokeh you'll have to install the jupyterlab extension, but the innovations around files, downloads, views on notebooks, etc. are worth the price of admission.

Sorry for the confusion. Your assumption is correct. $10 month total for the first 10 users (so, regardless of whether you have 3 users or 9 users, it's still $10/month). And then $5 per new user after that.

There is a certain tension between the phrases "democratically elected" and "almost the majority".
Or, maybe, people who are married are, for that reason, more likely to engage in activities that improve/maintain grip strength.
They're
(a) in no way connected to the .so files,
(b) not necessarily available,
(c) incomplete information since build information (e.g. compiler, command line options) is missing, and
(d) much harder to parse than necessary.
As a UVA grad, I laughed out loud at this.
Agree that bigger issues for health-conscious people should be smoking & overeating, and not exercising. Why not look at other health risks like cell phone or drinking a glass of wine or eating chocolate or whatever, once the bigger ones are taken care of?

I didn't get that at all when I read that.
Given that here in southern Italy they're usually paid 1/5 of their nominal wage, I'm not surprised. A few companies I've worked with would have folded if they had to pay most of their employees what's written on their salaries. Even while working for bigger european/US companies there's always a tacit expectation that you're gonna work twice the time it's actually written in your contract. And I'm not talking just about low-level positions, I've met junior automotive engineers whose actual wage wouldn't go north of 10€/hr.
Who/what created the multiverse?

Do matter and energy simply exist without creation?

Is proving the existence of the multiverse possible?
1.1.1.1 is widely known to be a dumping ground of random traffic, as well as a common internal address for captive portals and whatnot. The entire rollout of 1.1.1.1 has been characterized by legacy bugs and misconfigurations of network hardware preventing its proper use. Regardless of what the standards say about 1.1.1.1, it was a poor choice if Cloudflare values widespread adoption.
Hive mind exists everywhere, the goal is to not encourage it.
> almost the majority

Trump was not elected by a "majority of Americans". He was not even elected by a majority of Americans who voted. In fact, he did not even win by a plurality of Americans who voted.

Because of weirdness of the way the Presidential election process works in the US, it's possible to win the election with fewer votes than your opponent; you just need a majority of electors, but most states allocate electors in a winner-takes-all fashion.

> there should be such travel restrictions

Voting for someone does not mean that you agree with all of their policies. It's possible that a large number of Americans disagreed with those policies, but preferred other policies Trump held over Clinton, like lowering taxes and reducing regulations. Or that enough people were sufficiently uncomfortable with a woman as president. Or that enough people were convinced by the combination of Clinton conspiracy theories with the email scandal.
Again, I don't disagree. But I don't think it's hard to understand that I'm not talking about company policies here - I'm saying that if my grandma spills water on her computer I'd much rather pay someone some money to recover her family pictures than say "sorry grandma, can't do it, but at least no one could steal your data either!". Obviously everyone "should" have backups, but you know, we can sit here and name things that people "should" be doing all day long - that doesn't lead us anywhere.
I think it's because of the blowback on whiteboarding interviews. Damned if you do, damned it you don't.
> For an infinite universe or multiverse with infinite mass, you'd need infinite energy, right?

Given that the current best guess for the geometry of the universe is (conformally) flat, this universe already contains infinite energy. From what I recall, the normal definitions of total energy of a spacetime are not possible to formulate for non-asymptotically flat spacetimes. So it is a bit nonsensical to talk about the total mass/energy.

The easiest skeptical take on multiverses is simply that there are no measurables defined by multiverse theories yet. I usually lump them in with anthropic theories, which a lot of GR theorists seem to love.
I don't use facebook, what is the purpose of like and dislike?

Is like meant to signify I agree with this comment.
And dislike means I disagree with this comment or does dislike mean I think this comment is bad, O/T, abusive.
Or does dislike mean something else.

What if you disagreed with the comment, but felt it was a good comment, well argued, well presented and fair etc. would you like it or dislike it?

I feel "like" would make it look like you align yourself with the poster, which you may not want but dislike seems wrong too.

Maybe overall like / dislike is an indicator of quality of comment, regardless of your personal alignment with the content?

I don't get it.
> Something equivalent to what doctors have when they receive a medical license and become board certified.

In the US this requires four 8+ hour exams, spread out over at least seven years of training; each exam requires months of preparation. I have a hard time imagining most programmers would elect to jump through those sorts of hoops just to feel more confident about their jobs.

> In retrospect, I would have paid to work for a capable mentor when I started who could have validated my work and guided my efforts.

I think this idea definitely has some merit. I was very fortunate that my first big job after getting my CS degree was on a very agile team that leaned toward the bleeding edge. I wonder if there could be a way for programmers to rate the development environment of certain companies.
It sounds like the meetings are compressed into the other two days of the week, which also sounds quite miserable.

I'd love to see an app that analyzes the internal meetings that happen inside a company and flags the repeat offenders. I've always found that a small percentage of people hold the most meetings. It also can be a bit awkward to reject their meeting invites constantly.

Leaders should remind people about the time-cost of meetings (here's a calculator to help: https://hbr.org/2016/01/estimate-the-cost-of-a-meeting-with-...). There are meetings that can be beneficial for alignment, but then there are the reoccurring ones where people just want to know what you're working on.

Anyways, I'm working on a tool to help cut down on the "what's going on" meetings: https://www.fridayfeedback.com
Both are claims.

One is just implicit.

Some of the longest living people in the world (e.g. in the island of Icaria) drink and smoke like it's 1977 and they have always been.

https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/28/magazine/the-island-where...

Perhaps less stress and better lifestyle (quality of life) is the key to fewer cancers and such, as opposed to cutting smoking and drinking -- even with the increased burden on the lungs and such.

The Marriage of Skepticism and Wonder
Is this a reprint? I swear I've read this article before.

I spent some time doing handicapping algorithms, if anyone is coming from other types of sports betting, the biggest challenge with predicting horse racing is the lack of fixed odds in a US-style parimutuel system. No matter how good your handicapping model is, you also have to build an additional model to predict how much of the pool will end up on particular horses.

The price changes constantly and you have no ability to lock in a price or withdraw your bet if you made it at a certain price and the price changes. It wasn't uncommon to see a horse at 3/1 when the race starts which could seem like a good value and attract a well-placed bet, only to see a huge volume of money come in with milliseconds left that only hit the board after betting is closed to push the price down to 8/5 and make it a very very poor value. As a parimutuel bettor you are stuck with whatever the final price is.
Very interesting! I was hoping to get some insight like this with my questions. Thank you!

Thanks, I must have skimmed the article too fast I stand corrected. "Conferences" is now properly plural for the situation. To be honest while not a Trump supporter I really don't like reading anything talking about him because it probably is going to be biased in one way or another.
I guess if you have well-behaved and disciplined people below 30 things might work in favor of them, but the majority of developers I meet in daily life refuse to grow up any time before their 30s. Long days? Sure. Get the product shipped within spec and on time? If they don't get distracted.

But that might only be problem in the West.

Pretty sure this is complete B.S considering the view of talking on the phone millenials and younger have. Like, there are literal memes about one being horrified and the sound of a phone ringing, which to me seems like a good indicator that we're talking less on the phone, so why would brain tumors increase?
> The reason I'm posing this broadly is that there are a broad range of evolutionary psychology, incel, and PUA beliefs that subscribe to the view that a stronger partner is one that is deterministically more attractive to women.

But shouldn't, from the PUA, etc., viewpoint, that lead to lower rates of marriage, since more desirable men should have less need to offer commitment to secure sex?
I think this is actually stated in the reverse, based on my experience. Companies that value high-quality output generally tend to become more diverse as they grow. There are obvious places this falls on its face. I used to manage plenty diverse global team of engineers (China, India, Brazil, Mexico, US, and a few in the UK) but that doesn't mean diversity was a cornerstone of our culture. Our CIO just wanted to cut expenses and do as much as possible in low cost locations. Software quality was predictably mediocre, not because there weren't some good engineers but because the short view was valued far more than the long view, and every dev cycle was a series of compromises followed by releases that were series of P0 emergencies.

Yeah, this is a good case to use multiple dispatch to flexibly tie into systems built on generic code. The problem with autodiff is it doesn't necessarily take all branches to know how to deal with these kinds of issues, but having the power to fix it yourself is crucial.
