Many of the peat phenols (or is it esthers?) tend to break down over time in the cask, so peaty/smokey scotches actually can lose flavor over time — though with a good cask they can pick up woody complexity. Younger islas tend to be more vigorous!

Edit: I don’t believe there is a requirement in the law to only use previously used barrels. They are just cheaper (boubon IS by law required to use only new casks, which results in a lot of availability), and aren’t quite as active, allowing for more gentle maturation.
>But most of them are obsolete and deprecated (because e.g. Office suites, OSes and gaming moved on) in a way that Python 2.x programs used in businesses are not.

Businesses that fail to adapt to changing markets/technology have nobody to blame but themselves when they've had 10 years to adapt or die. I struggle to find any sympathy for them outside of employees ringing the death bell who were ignored. Also, just to reiterate, 2.7 won't be going anywhere - businesses will need to accept it will cost them more to stick with it. That's the price paid for holding onto technical debt.
Is there any kind of RAID that can be considered a backup?

Google One is 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of Google Cloud Storage...
Sadly, in general this is a case of "we made a Chrome-specific site/app years ago because it was the easiest thing to do, and despite other browsers and some of our employees working hard since then to standardize the Chrome-specific bullshit, it doesn't benefit us enough to bother fixing anything on our end. So we'll just keep maintaining our subpar now-redundant versions for non-Chrome browsers instead."

But luckily this attitude might be poised to change, because the employees at Google who still care about these things have been pushing hard, and it's now threatening to become a PR issue that Google is needlessly serving inferior versions of big apps to other browsers. When other browsers are a UA spoof away from showing that you're artificially screwing with them on your base Search engine, it becomes harder to push those browsers to adopt the web standards you're trying to push to make YouTube "better".
If I understand correctly, you're supporting my point.

Free speech is very much about allowing someone to act like a jackass (or worse!) to people with words and ideas.

It doesn't protect those speakers from the repercussions.

Trigger warnings aren't repercussions, however. They're prior restraint, and that's a no-no.

Ask HN: Possible to Get Hired at FAANG with Existing Profitable Project?
HN,
In general, might FAANG and similar companies hire someone with an existing (profitable) side project, assuming the project is in maintenance mode and isn't a competitor?

More specifically, I maintain a profitable application in the renewable energy sector - niche of a niche. I'm currently thinking about applying to FAANG and similar companies because my skillset is somewhat stagnant (and various other reasons). Will such companies allow existing side projects/revenue or will the dreaded non-competes make this an impossibility?
"The Devil's Candy" changed my attitude from "Why do they make bad movies?" to "It's a miracle that anything screenable get made at all."
How can you possibly claim a proprietary operating system is better with regards to security and privacy than Linux distros, FreeBSD and OpenBSD?
As someone actively using both Google Drive File Stream and Google Backup and Sync. For the love of god, fix your desktop software.

Dropbox and OneDrive both understand the concept of filenames and collisions. It's very obvious that Google Drive is not a file system, especially when you have shared folders with multiple people.
You have just come across the frustration every lawyer has starting from the 2nd week of law school.

It never ends, I'm afraid.
Contracts may be full of crazy over reaching stuff.
When faced with a contract like this, you ask if you can modify it. If they say, “Take it or leave it.” you turn down the offer.

If they say yes, find a lawyer and get it looked over.

Sometimes you can just cross out stuff, modify or add stuff i.e. add a time limit to an open ended NDA, reduce the scope of a non-compete or eliminate it all together. After a while you get to know what to look for.

Once I was given a contract that stipulated that, if there were errors in my work product, I would be ”liable for estimated loss of profits”. (!!!)

I quoted the offending line and wrote: “Nice try but yeah, no.” I had my lawyer fix it and they were a great client.

I don't think that would really apply to an existing urban environment - that sounds like the public transit equivalent of subdivision development.
Lying is NOT withholding information that people aren’t entitled to. You’re trying to win an argument by changing what the words mean. If somebody confides in me with a secret, am I a liar if I don’t immediately rush off and tell it to all concerned parties? No, I’m not. You’re trying to confuse honesty with openness, and specifically in this case, as an obligation to disclose privileged information.
I work in Engineering and feel somewhat similar about CFD. There's always some element of doubt lurking in the back of my mind "is it really correct in all circumstances".

The most useful info I learnt at university were a couple of equations: Bernoulli's (for general observation about expected pressure drop), Ergun's (for flow through packed beds) and the general laws of thermodynamics.

Those are mostly enough to be able to sketch out an intuitive 'guess' about expected behavior in a large range of systems and the underlying math is not particularly demanding.
Do you know if that applies to common stock as well, vs options?

I would actually love for the company to buy the stock back at the current valuation, that'd be the closest anybody will get in a while to seeing a payoff. I also know the company doesn't have anywhere close to the amount of funds necessary to do that though. And if that happens at later rounds with a higher valuation, that's fantastic.

I love Dropbox, I am a paid plus user. The syncing is amazing, and absolutely gets out of your way. You just have to put something, and forget about it. It's sad that they are slowly moving their focus towards businesses. While that is not a problem in and of itself, it seems individual users don't have much priority anymore.
I was kind of excited about this build but then I saw your comment and remembered that was a much better option.

4-6 months ago I built a new workstation for work. I had used one of those Corsair closed loop water coolers with the prior build, so I set one up on this guy. A month or so later my workstation was running really sluggishly, and I realized it was drastically throttling the CPU because of heat. I installed some software to spin up the fans on the cooler to keep it down under 100C, but now it'll get kind of loud when I run much heavy CPU.

Now, this is a pretty heavy duty workstation, 64GB of RAM and 3 displays. But, if I were doing a new machine for home to be quiet, I think it'd be a NUC. Then I'll put the box that has the 6 drive ZFS array in a closet and call it good.
The math needs explanation, explanation needs cooperation and coordination, cooperation and coordination breed familiarity, familiarity negates anonymity.

You simply can't be anonymous and trusted at the same time.
uhh, hey guys. this is weird.
That's true. I've also heard that it increases trauma by making a hit hurt less, because the fighter is able to keep going instead of being bothered by more superficial issues (e.g. cuts/bleeding).
I got stuck with a website once that was using one of the compression headers - maybe content-encoding to indicate that it's .gz files were gzipped even if the client didn't indicate it supported it. Some browsers would ignore it and just download the file, but others would unzip it. So you got a different file depending on what browser you used! I think wget and chrome behaved differently from each other. I wrote to the site operator who corrected it.
Filestream constantly crashes my Mac. It’s really frustrating. Trying to move a bunch of files really destroys it.
Time to start a family!
By not asking anyone else to answer the question for you and actually doing it yourself, be independent.
I think doubling down on mass transit is a mistake with automated vehicles on the horizon. It doesn't make sense to incur massive debt when the customers are going to drive away.

We should instead think about a system of tolls that has demand-based prices and that takes into account vehicle size. Tiny one person vehicles are going to be way cheaper than mass transit and there'll be no waiting, missed connections or end of service. They'll be as cheap as mopeds to operate.

Point to point will work if we have a sensible pricing system. Instead of waiting in traffic, we'll wait at home until there is space for us. If we can buy a subscription and get paid to wait or go earlier, we can put an end to most traffic jams and keep people from driving into those that do occur.

You might normally leave the office at 6:30 and drive 10 miles to your house. But if there's an accident and the "spot" price of your trip goes up, you'd be able to sell your trip for that day. You could make money by waiting. Or maybe you just take a bus.

And by reducing the number of people that jam the roads at peak time, we can spread out the load and spend less money building for peak traffic. This is how many markets work, like the hotel market. They don't build a hotel room that sits idle 90% of the time so that nobody ever has to pay a high price for a room. They charge more at peak times and that makes some people change their plans to avoid the peak price.
It would be great if Google drive wouldn't use up my MacBook's battery so fast. All the time my cpu usage is at 100% when using Google Backup and sync. Something that other competitors have managed to do better than Google. Using dropbox at the moment.
I'm always fascinated by old operating systems, especially ones which are different from Unix/Windows/etc.

Do binaries still exist? Documentation? Source code?
A great candidate that would place a large knife into you and your company's back at the first opportunity.

This guy's name should have been in the article to save the rest of the industry a little bit of time ... and the guy would probably get some job offers from the people who read this and thought "excellent candidate!". The hiring company should also then publicize this excellent hire so the industry can see what firms out there believe "Lying = Sales".

I don't see it as a bad thing. To me Android One is a symbol of confidence and simplicity. It is a promise of no bloat on Android. It is a promise of timely updates. Most importantly, it is a signal of a good value. Look where the trainwreck of the fire phone got to at Amazon.com
Even though you're technically wrong (the best kind of wrong), I can see where you're coming from. Even microcontroller ICs without enough memory to store this comment are real computers and are silent, but if you say you've built a silent computer and then unveil some Arduino contraption, expect eyes to roll.

That said, I still think smartphones qualify as computers even by your productivity definition. Newer smartphones would sit somewhere above older netbooks on a ranking of overall utility.
simplest solution: buy an iMac.
Congratulations tp69! The article details how miners made it difficult to procure components for the build, but the irony is that the miners might be specifically interested in this build for its power efficiency.

A decade ago, I was obsessed with fans and at one point I had more than 10 in my workstation. The noise it created kind of resonated with me, like I would be able to tell when the job was CPU intensive, HDD or GPU; I guess it felt more lively!

But after the smartphone boom, I got more adhered to power efficient, noise less systems (Smartphone/Tablet/SBC's/Chromebook) & after the meltdown spectre (pun intended) my adherence got reinforced.

Anyone looking for low-cost completely silent yet portable system in laptop form-factor can take a look at Chromebooks, now that Google has announced Linux apps support it's usefulness would tend to grow.
I’m so happy that I’m older and do not work in a place filled with young or insecure people all worried about making themselves look best vs. working together/pulling in each other’s strengths and getting the job done awesomely. I could never work at Google or places where you exhaust yourself physically and emotionally to shine brighter then the next. Barf!!!

Clearly policing in the US has some problems, and I'm not sure technology can fix them. However, this story isn't about the US.
Please use git (or similar) for code. GitLab even has free private repos for personal projects.

Dropbox is for binary files (like PDF, MSOffice, etc).
Been using Syncthing these last few days, today it saved me about three hours of sending files to California just to download them back in the same office. Highly recommended if you understand and can afford the small amount of time you trade for functioning peer-to-peer transfers (which, in basically every case, are faster than client-server-client transfers).
It might be because of the SLA guarantees Google Cloud provides. And it is commercial which means a markup.
You could take a look at Owncloud, I know there's a few projects that also do it but I can't name any others off the top of my head.
As someone who enjoys wine, but is not an expert, and thinks there's a lot of B.S. involved, I remember one Saturday I was making crepes for breakfast, and I needed to sauté some mushrooms, so I opened up an $8 bottle of Ménage à Trois. Sunday evening we had 2 other couples over for dinner, and I didn't want to serve them the rest of the MaT, so we opened a nice bottle of "90+ point" California Pinot Noir. Then I figured we should do a blind taste test. I recused myself. 4 of the 5 other people preferred the $8 bottle that I'd opened a day and a half before.

The one guy in the group who is a real wine expert was having none of it. He knew which wine was "good" and which "wasn't", and why. Anecdotal, but I think it's a good illustration that there's a lot of B.S, but it's not all B.S.

FWIW, I had a master sommelier on my Sales for Nerds podcast (June Rodil, who is not a stuffy wine snob at all, and is so much fun to drink with). (https://www.salesfornerds.io/episode-5-june-rodil-on-wine-cu...)

There are a few options for improved Google Drive clients. We use Syncdocs https://syncdocs.com as it has end-to-end encryption. None of these clients are free, though, so perhaps you get what you pay for.
Default *BSD installs do not have bash, it needs to be installed (IDK what DragonFly and TrueOS do, but FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD don't ship with it). They all have it in the ports trees though. Many distros use BusyBox (IIRC Alpine is one). And AFAIK Debian base only has dash at /bin/sh.

Preferably the complexity in a shell script should be mostly handled by the programs invoked in it. All it has to provide is variables, basic control flow, subshells, and maybe some globbing.
>where is the theory about how the brain can catalyze the RNA into understanding in millisecond times rather than days.

Maybe the brain often serializes memories from neurons into RNA and vice versa often in order to replicate the memories throughout the brain. The RNA injection caused some memories to be deserialized into the snail's neurons, and the memory now in the neurons is what is affecting the snail's reaction.
For a while now I've felt like I've just been trolling the same stale corners of the internet while learning nothing and not really being entertained but out of boredom keep refreshing the same junk. (Probably says more about my own habits and life and use of time than the web, but that's another story) I really enjoyed reading this more than anything else I've come across in a while and it's given me a bit to think on now. Thanks for posting it!

Surely visual information helps with geometric problems? Our geometric intuition basically evolved to predict the relevance of light patterns on our retinas, and geometry is a language designed to encode these intuitions, so there's no reason to think visual tools presenting geometric facts would inherently fall short.

Show HN: S&P 500 Annualized Returns Fun Facts
I just grabbed the S&P 500 annualized returns, including dividends but not inflation, from 1871 to 2017.

Some fun facts:

-The longest run of positive returns is 9 years.

-9 year positive return runs happened 3 times, 1894-1902, 1991-1999, and 2009-2017.

-That means if 2018 is a positive return year, this would be the first 10 year positive return run ever in the 146 history of the S&P 500.

-The average and median length of positive return runs is 3.6 years and 2 years, respectively.

-The longest run of negative returns is 4 years, this happened once from 1929-1932.

-The average and median length of negative return runs is 1.3 years and 1 year, respectively.

-The best ever annual return is 56.8% in 1933.

-The worst every annual return is -44.2% in 1931. 2008 was second worse at -37.2%. But from 2000-2002 there was a 3 year run of negative returns totaling -43.4% (-9.1%, -12.0%, -22.3%).

-The average positive and negative annual returns are 19.1% and -12.3%, respectively.

-The average and median annual return for the entire 146 history of the S&P 500 is 10.8% and 11%, respectively.

These numbers really gave me a sense of appreciation for the power of and confidence in the free market capitalist system and index investing. This growth represents wealth generation in the economy driven by competition and the desire to improve our lives.

10.8% return per year, 3.6 year positive return runs and only 1.3 year negative return runs, passively, I’ll take that deal all day long. All I have to do is buy the S&P 500 and sit back and reap the benefits. If only we could figure out a sustainable way to operate it.
Exactly ... it's a trap, moving somewhere cheaper for reasons of saving money.

Little off-topic: Is there any work being done with Visual Studio's integrated Code Review system[0]? You cannot even run the solution (inc. changes) from it!

We're stuck on TFVC, is the planned solution to move everyone to Git and Pull Requests? The recent Visual Studio Live Share is really kick butt, but doesn't solve traditional "offline" code reviews.

Also we're using O365 Planner and Teams, but there's no integration into Team Services at all. Any chance we'll see Planner plan tasks as a work item in Visual Studio/Team Services?
