Not to mention it was 600km (370 miles) off the coast of Newfoundland, and took less than three hours to sink from hitting the iceberg. So if you happened to have drones in exactly the right place (assuming they’re based at an airbase on land), and sent them right when the ship started sinking, they’d get there just about as the last part was going under.
For anyone who this might help, Namesilo is a registrar that gives everyone whois protection by default, at no extra cost. That's especially great since they're already pretty much the lowest cost registrar around. I feel like in a way they're the Let's Encrypt of the registrar world.

Somebody was writing about a concept of negotiations that focuses on values of the other party, and asking the question "what if your value is met" instead of arguing for your positions. The example was about gun control: "what if there's no crime, would you be willing to give up guns?"

Amazing.

That said, recently my father had a stroke. As the person who has spent plenty of time pushing him in his wheelchair (until his balance and strenght returns) I can tell you there are still plenty of instances where things are "non-inclusive."

p.s. If anyone is looking for a startup idea, having a sensors to tell the person using it whether __both__ breaks have been engaged would be helpful. Without the breaks engaged pushing up and out of the chair actually leads to pushing the chair out and back.

Similar can be said a walker. There's no feedback. It's all trial & error. T&E is great for an 8 month old learning to walk for the first time. T&E for an 80 y/o is dangerous.

Even adding say $50 - $100 to the cost of either - if that investment lowered doctor / hospital visits - I think the cost could be easily justified (read: beneficial and insurane company approved).

The world can use more smart IT individuals.

7 years ago I left silicon valley and moved to Raleigh, NC. It was part of our grand plan to move all the extended family back to the same area.

As part of this move I became involved with a couple manufacturing companies. I couldn't help but start helping with their IT set ups. I built some web apps to provide access to information locked up in their horrible ERP/MRP systems. 7 years later and these folks still call me a hero. Some simple web apps made a significant improvement to their productivity.

What I did was not rocket science. But it required spending time to understand the business, their workflow, and the bottlenecks. The solutions were simple after all that time was spent. The work ended up being very rewarding. There were no project managers, so I was full stack from the metal to the end user. It was also not bogged down by scaleability / uptime concerns. If something crashes, my user base is something like 30 people. I deploy with an ssh and git pull.

Anywho, I hope you get my point. I'd love to help Elon throw someone at Mars and he's my hero on many levels. But your simple IT skills could make you something of a small pond Elon for lots of non silicon valley people.
s/good ideas/ideas directly beneficial on the free market/ - to the implementer and/or the customer. The implementer doesn't do things in a vacuum. Customers and competition will swiftly punish ideas beneficial to the implementer but bad for the market.

That being said, the regulators do tend to have the arrogance of thinking they know better than the consumer. They take non-issues on the market (charging port) and impose crappy solution (micro-usb) while the eventual better solution (usb-c) is still much worse than some of the offers on the market (Apple's lightning port).

With thinking like that we would end up with zero innovation or competition on the OS platform just to solve the "coordination problems on the market". Because who needs Mac OS or Linux, right?! Windows should've been good enough for anyone! Of course, that is why big-cos like Microsoft love that kind of regulatory thinking.

Sometimes it seems like everyone in my city (Sydney) has a coffee addiction.

It is possible to get a great coffee nearly anywhere at anytime of day. Places that used to sell drip-filtered (or worse) coffee have either disappeared or lifted their brewing game.

Even places like McDonalds and 7-Eleven have fresh-from-beans espresso machines in every single store, or else they wouldn't sell any coffee at all.

My local news-agent has installed a full-sized espresso machine and learned to become a barista in addition to selling newspapers and lottery tickets.

The McDonalds 'McCafe'[1] was developed in Australia for this reason (probably).

My personal belief is that large post-war immigration waves to Australia from southern Europe bought their own coffee cultures here (Greek, Italian, Turks) and it has combined in a unique way to become something special.

edit: Forgot to mention 'Flat-whites'[2].... They are my coffee of choice. I used to think they were a universal thing. After traveling overseas I sadly discovered that they are not.

This should be obviously false before you even start looking into the specifics.

Do you think if everyone in the US just made different choices everyone would be millionaires in a generation? No? Then your advice doesn't work.

Without a massive increase in productivity, the only way someone can be a millionaire is if other people are poor.
Yes it would. And then it would be an apples to apples conparison. But this was not the intended result the percona team tried to show as dicussed in the comments. They sinply wanted to show that „if you throw mire hardware at it, zfs will outperform xfs with less hardware“.

Don‘t get me wrong. ZFS is an incredible masterpiece, but there are almost no realistic benchmarks. They are in favor of zfs like the benchmark from percona or in favor if other system when l2arc/zil is not used.
And the worst part is, ALL the heads of states of EU nations are in support of this law. The council approves of it.

The big issue is that Google over time has moved to scrape the web.

One big thing Google has done recently is they extract what you search for from a website, and show it inline.

E.g. when I search for a recipe, I get the result in the Google search, and don’t need to visit their website. https://i.k8r.eu/aILGEg

Google extracts reviews from Yelp!, and I can read them without visiting Yelp!.

They’re doing this for everything, and AMP furthers this.

Google is trying to keep the user as long as possible on Google, and show snippets instead of letting users leave.

As result many of these sites lose out on ad impressions, and money.

Google has no way to disable this feature short of entire unlisting your site.

Some of this depends on what a "product manager" does. Someone needs to prioritize, define, and design the migration off of the Jabberwocky servers, which haven't had an OS upgrade in ten years, but have their IPs hardcoded all over the code base.

Maybe you have product managers tracking technical debt and strategic technical priorities, but that would be an exception rather than a commonplace thing.

But, even in those problems, focusing on and managing one predefined solution is usually an antipattern.

But when this category of problems is ignored (because it is green field development, often), the build phase blows up because you need to be neck deep in code or deployment on some client facing problem to discover these sorts of issues.

thanks to both of you for the specific info
Well, doubles can represent all the numbers a 52 bit int can, so there's not a huge reason to not use doubles for whole numbers. It also means that new programmers don't get confused when they do 1/3 and get 1, and the language can be significantly simpler when there's only one number type. Also, when you try to store numbers bigger than 2^52, doubles degrade relatively gracefully, while ints wrap around.

There are definitely downsides too, but it's a trade-off, not an exclusively bad decision.

It plain just doesn't work (as implemented.)

First off, it is much too lenient and the points drop off your record much too quickly. Most infractions can be reduced in court and many crashes (especially single car crashes) don't result in infractions unless they are serious.

Secondly, those people will just drive unlicensed anyway, so it really doesn't matter if we take their license away or put them in jail for a month, they already don't follow the rules and don't give a shit. There's nothing physically preventing someone unlicensed, uninsured, or unfit to drive from climbing into an vehicle, starting the engine, and driving on public roads. The only thing that can deter them is getting arrested after the fact, but that's pretty rare.

My dad lost his licence years ago (for good reason) and a judge has denied his application to get it reinstated many times (for good reason). He still drives all the time and still crashes his truck fairly regularly. Sure, he gets arrested once in a while, but that doesn't stop him.

NimForum does exactly that. The API probably isn't as stable as it could be though. Discourse could be another alternative for you.
The EU commission can get away with things that individual nations can not, because they are not subject to the same level of public scrutiny.

If a controversial law is proposed in a national parliament, then it becomes big news. A politician pushing an unpopular agenda would eventually find him/herself voted out.

But average people don't usually hear about laws the EU is creating until they're implemented. Hardly anyone had heard of the GDPR until it was too late. And the whole legislative process of the commission is opaque: you can't tell who in your government was responsible for supporting a particular position.

There's some really interesting literature about this topic, I only discovered it recently. I'd recommend starting with 'The Good Gut' by Justin Sonnenburg.

An excerpt can be found here: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/gut-feelings-the-...
For a transaction processing database workload, it's generally good practice to run with "zfs set primarycache=metadata", which means that ZFS won't attempt to cache anything except metadata. This might have reduced the 15% cache overhead the author observed.

I'll be interested to read the future work on using larger page sizes. Conventional wisdom would hold that it was a bad idea (at least, for a write-heavy workload) because of the write-amplification that it produces, but it sets me wondering to what extent ZIL-offloading could mitigate that. Then again, there's really no point in putting the ZIL on ephemeral storage.

"Traditional" USB does that: USB-A ports source power, USB-B ports sink power. (Also, USB-A ports are always towards the host, which controls the bidirectional serial link.) The standard cable has a USB-A plug on one end, and a USB-B plug on the other end. There can be no USB-A to USB-A (or USB-B to USB-B) cable, since they're forbidden by the standard, so you can't connect two sources (or two sinks) together.

And of course it didn't work: there are many standard-breaking USB cables with identical plugs on both ends, and standard-breaking devices which require them.
Prices are generally determined by what the market will bear. The high-end art market is bearing those prices.

At the same time as those fairs and nearly the same place are sometimes dozens of satellite fairs with lower prices. Impressionism came to light from such fairs a century and a half ago, so they've met the demand curve for a long time.

High-end fairs have no monopoly. There is a range of options from high-end to low-end. Seems to me the market is doing fine and has been for centuries. If you complain that you can't afford the high-end art, you can go to museums or make your own for nearly free.

Yeah, that’s the one big issue with the EU - the fourth power, the media, is missing. There’s no discussion, no involvement of the public, neither the good nor bad is shown when it happens.

I worked at a university that frittered away $150 million on a software rollout that was eaten by consultants and ultimately failed in every regard. Also, the same university is on a building binge, replacing donated buildings barely 10 years old with shiny new ones. Given the cost of CIP projects, that’s why tuition is so expensive... the universities playing “Keeping Up With the Yales” by pouring money into construction. If it weren’t for building binging, tuition would be much saner and in the realm of affordable for the taxpayer to prevent stalling the economic futures of students to be chained in debt with a degree that doesn’t help them enough to escape white-collar poverty.
