I have a wife and kids an a beautiful house out in the redwoods. We both work from home. I put on shoes and leave home weekly. Previously, I lived in a city and worked in a production line.

I'm not sure I had many social skills in the first place, but I've found that I went from wishing everyone would go away to actually asking people to come visit. I miss co-workers, but the most surprising thing I found was that my personal bubble is about a hundred feet around. My previous antisocial nature was less about too many personal interactions than just feeling the pressure of humanity, even if they were just driving by outside the house. Whenever I've been in a big city, I find myself seeking out alleyways or anywhere that doesn't have anyone near it. I'm always surprised that no matter how I seek out the most undesirable corner, there's always someone there. Clearly I'm not the only one who feels this way, but I'm not sure how many come to this realization about large personal space, since for me it took months of isolation to really get it.

I certainly haven't lost the ability to interact positively with others, but without recent shared history, conversations can be hard to maintain unless I find a subject of solid mutual interest.
Sounds interesting, are there any papers or public details that you could point me to with more technical information about this Alibaba RDMA-based memcached project? Alibaba also has FPGA instances available and we have been investigating their cloud offering.

Things I found interesting from the article:

a. Approximately 150,000 Sikhs (my edit: Sikhs are a subset of Indians and to a smaller extent Pakistanis) in trucking, 90% of whom are drivers.

b. Those numbers are growing rapidly, with 18,000 Sikhs entering the industry in 2017 alone.

c. Sikhs control about 40% of trucking in California.

d. (In the US and Canada) - A network of Indian truck stops is spreading along the main routes, serving some fine daal and naan bread. (My edit: Sikh highway food is a cultural bookend in India and it is whimsical to see this transported to the Rockies)

e. Earnings of $42,000, or about $20 an hour, a sum that may dwindle after expenses. Annual turnover rates within firms hover around 90%.

f. The American Trucking Associations warned of a shortage of 50,000 drivers by the end of 2017, rising to 174,000 by 2026.

d. The median age of the private-fleet driver is 52;

I am waiting for this uneducated drivel of explaining NN performance by their 'universal function approximator property' to stop. There are tons other schemes that are also universal approximators, they were known before NN was a thing. Why don't we use those ? Why don't they work as well ?

Learning from examples and generalizing is a much different problem from function approximation.

Every single thing has to be about feminism, somehow, doesn't it? Even a guy trying to relate to us about how the truck driving industry treats people badly - well gosh darn, it's not doing well enough if it's not treating women badly in an exact proportion to their population level.

I have to wonder if folks like yourself ever give it a rest and just actually read what someone has written without spending every second of it looking for a reason to get self-righteous.
You can only move value around if it has value in the first place. Its only real value is in the hype around it that has been used to milk gullible people. Once the hype dies and the supply of money from gullible people has been exhausted, which is clearly already happening, it will lose all value and utility.

I couldn't read the article. I read most of the comments.

I'm a new truck driver, since March 1st of this year. I drive for one of the biggest trucking companies in the country.

When weather is bad, they call or message us to shut down. I've never felt any pressure 2 exceed the legally allowed number of driving hours. If you're going to be late for some legitimate reason, you let the company know, and you're then not considered late. They reschedule the appointment.

It's definitely a lifestyle that a lot of people would not want to do. I am unusual in that I enjoy my alone time. Yeah this is Extreme alone time, but I like it. There probably are not a lot of people like me, but probably more than you would think.

Edit:

I've lost 20 pounds since I started driving. Driving doesn't cause you to lose weight, but I knew weight gain is a problem, so I really focus on eating carefully. My truck has a refrigerator. I think it used to have a microwave, but I think the former driver gave it to himself as a going-away present.

Most problems are solvable. I plan on very slowly incorporating a few solutions to a few problems. My truck has a good inverter, so I have a coffee pot and I make my own coffee in the morning, it's cheaper than truck stop coffee and I like it better. I'll get a small microwave eventually, and possibly bring a Crock-Pot or similar.

I shop when I'm home, but that's usually not enough for the two or three weeks that I will be out. So when it's convenient to me I will drive to a Walmart, where they are Truck friendly, and stock up. Truckers also will sometimes Park overnight at Walmart, but not all of them allow it.

Pay to start is low, but larger companies recently, including mine, have begun to increase starting pay, and incorporate bonuses for existing. Pay increases regularly over quarters, but it will be a few years before you're making what you might call good money.

Right now I'm shut down for the night at a truck stop about a half hour north of Las Vegas on I-15, that Corridor that someone here said nee guys never get. This is not my first time on this route. This is my second Thousand Mile trip this week.

My only serious complaint is parking. I'm parked on the street across from the truck stop, because I got a late start and finished late. If the country hired any significant fraction of the trucker shortage, there would be no where to park. Drive down a major Interstate some night at 10 or 3 in the morning, and really look and see how many trucks are wedged into non parking spaces. We have to do it, because of hours of service regulations.

Everyone has anecdotes, pro and con, including me. Don't think that the article, or the comments here, give you good and accurate coverage of the subject. Everything everyone says here is probably true, for that person's experience. But like in any area, your mileage may vary.

This has nothing to do with whether it is gambling or not.
Not much different. Which is why I would not buy collectible cards to my kids and why I was avoiding them myself (as they cost too much overall when played).

The difference is that CCG were rather niche thing most people dont know about and these games targetted at children are ever obvious and common. Meaning, people cared less because significantly less people knew you can buy CCG. Also, sports cards and CCG had known probabilities and were overall less sleazy then some of these games. They did not baited you with psychological trics and people were less routinelly trying to earn money by buying them solely in the hope of finding jackpot expensive item to sell.

There is also element of fake think of children where gamers who hate everything new and not for them use this to demonise games they don't like.

The moon:

- Much lower g ~1/6th g

- 2 week long nights and days.

- Extremes in temperature: -280 to +260F

- Questionable mineral deposits and water is more isolated.

- Much smaller surface area.

- Zero potential for terraforming.

- Zero atmosphere.

- Aesthetically homogenous.

- Very poor 'weather' - in that it practically rains asteroids on the moon. Granted this is all over the moon, and so any given individual or building's chances of getting hit are extremely low, but as we increase the number of people/buildings, getting hit by asteroids will be a regular occurrence.

- Plant growth would need to be 100% driven by external support.

-----

Mars:

- 1/3rd g

- Day and night cycle near identical to Earth

- Reasonable temperature ranges. About -100 to +70 F, varying depending on the seasons - which it also has 4 of, like Earth.

- Extremely rich mineral deposits. The most evident being the planet's color, which is caused by iron oxide - rust.

- Water everywhere. The soil is moist containing about a liter of water per cubic foot. Something "The Martian" accidentally got wrong, as this was a major discovery of Curiosity, after the book had been written.

- Surface area oddly near identical to the land area of Earth.

- Huge potential for terraforming - from creating magnetic fields in various ways to simply nuking the poles, which are made of dry ice (CO2), and letting it thicken up the atmosphere

- A thin atmosphere, but an atmosphere comprised mainly of handy CO2. For instance the Sabatier Reaction can be used to create methane with a byproduct of water from hydrogen and CO2 - both widely available on Mars.

- Aesthetically diverse - at one time orders of magnitude more. We'll be exploring and discovery Mars' secrets for decades and perhaps centuries once we get feet on the ground. Our rovers and probes have only scratched the surface, figuratively and literally.

- Excellent weather. Hit by relatively minimal asteroids and the thin atmosphere makes even the worst storm on Mars feel like a slight breeve - the one key thing "The Martian" faked. Come to think of it, a hard sci fi book having to rely on an impossible event to trigger a catastrophe on Mars is a pretty good sign.

- Martian soil actually contains everything that's needed to natively grow plants! [1] Sourcing this point since it borders on unbelievable.

I actually disagree with this heavily. It's feel good, for sure, but if you are looking for measurable results in almost any endeavor, then keeping metrics is almost textbook in increasing the chance of success. "That which gets measured gets improved". Human beings are inherently flawed and subject to natural impulses, adding in objective metrics is a way of taming that. Intuition is not going to help you make linear progress in small increments over a long period of time. Studies of weight loss for example repeatedly show you need to be keeping some metric such as weight or measuring body inches etc to keep on track and be able to guide your decisions each week. "intuitive eating" is a new fad but there is virtually no data to back up that it works at all.

EDIT: To add,I speak as somebody who lost 160lbs over two years after years of yo-yoing. I find it very unlikely you would be able to do this without tracking progress and having metrics to guide you.
Isn't this open plan still? It looks like 6 people get a private office and 15 get thrown between the fish tank and the coffee shop. Even 4 of the 6 with private offices look like their way too close to the kitchen, the other 2 have flushing toilets and showers to contend with.

Many years ago I used to listen to Lino Rulli on the Catholic Channel (XM radio). I considered myself a christian at the time, but not catholic. Nevertheless, his show was hilarious and I tried to listen as often as possible.

They had this segment called 'minor confessions' where people would confess things that were pretty inconsequential, but still honest.

Around that time I was on a road trip with some friends and I thought it'd be fun to play the game. I figured it'd be goofy and kill a few minutes while we waited for a 'Q'. It didn't take long before the game turned into one of the most genuine and honest experiences of our relationship together. It was surprising how quickly we skipped past the minor and got into some pretty heavy stuff.

Years later I found myself in a booth at a pub with a bunch of dudes from church essentially having a doubt-group. A friend started out with questioning the divinity of Jesus -- and it carried from there.

Only a few years ago I was in a depression group therapy program provided by my local hospital --- and the same raw honestly and openness prevailed.

For me it was clear that early on I wanted this openness and honesty in my everyday life and not just a few times every few years and I've made a concerted effort to make it so. At first it was tough to overcome the fear or fear of shame, but once I got into the habit of it, I discovered that people value vulnerability and will often mirror this in the relationship.

There is also a line between being honest about struggles and stuff and being a whiner or a chronic complainer. I think it all boils down to your intention --- are you being open and honest for the attention or purely for the sake of something free and beautiful.

I truly hope that 'Authentic relating' catches on... but maybe without a formal title or 'movement.'

Most games contain calculated random rewards or else the game would be boring and predictable. However to call this gambling it's quite a stretch as you can't cash out. Whoever decided to make those "boxes" look like slot machines spinning brought it upon themselves.
There's nothing wrong per se with using the dash, at least if you get the spacing right. If you use a dash as a punctuation you should either use spaces or - as you said - the correct glyph.

Permanent probably does mean _eventually_ self-sustaining.

Not in our lifetimes, maybe. But if we colonize mars in the next 3 decades it seems likely that in 1,000 years human life on Mars could be largely self-sustaining.

When talking about creating planetary redundancy for human life 1,000 years is a small time-scale. We're guarding against 1/10,000,000 year kinds of extinction events on earth. It's unlikely that such an extinction event will happen on earth before a Mars colony could become reasonably self-sustaining.

That said, it's important that we do it _eventually_, because over 100,000,000 years the odds of that earth wide extinction event goes way up.
Yes. That is point I have been making.

Here's the definition of a "lottery" under the uk gambling act "(2)An arrangement is a simple lottery if—
(a)persons are required to pay in order to participate in the arrangement,
(b)in the course of the arrangement one or more prizes are allocated to one or more members of a class, and
(c)the prizes are allocated by a process which relies wholly on chance."

There is also a complex lottery where the process begins with chance. This covers things like scratchcards where you choose which things to scratch off but which card you are given, and what is printed on the card is governed by chance.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2005/19/section/14

Lotteries are one of 3 forms of gambling covered by this regulation, so in the uk at least it seems pretty obvious that lootboxes are gambling from a legal point of view. Lotteries are permitted for people older than 16 in the UK but it's an offence to allow a "child" (someone younger than 16 in this law) to participate (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2005/19/section/56)

It's also an offence if your company to manufacture, supply, install or adapt gambling software without a license. So they could be liable from that point of view also, in the UK at least.

Last mile can be some of the least fun part of the job. Getting in and out of town in traffic in a city you haven't been to, waiting hours or a day for someone to load it unload your truck. Other than trying to keep up with the dispatcher who forgets you aren't driving a racecar, the open road can be the nice part of the trip.

In some games you can. See: CS:GO.

As long as items can be traded, someone will make a 3rd party site to buy/sell the items.
Everyone of the x has at shortage articles are silly. We live in a capitalist society so pay more. Truck drivers or software engineers it applies risky. Or teachers and nurses. If you pay enough (and maybe have decent benefits) you will get qualified people. That's not part of the business model? Please go to a socialist country.
This is not random loot you find in the world, you pay real money to buy a box and hope you win some cool helmet or gun, you can't buy that item directly and have to buy many boxes until you win it or in some games as mentioned in the article this items can be traded on some gray markets.

There are games that just sell you the item, no randomness involved.
If you are, so would you.
You need a real understanding of the problem and possible solutions to actually solve something. Tools (regardless of complexity) only help you solve it once you understand.

People tend to say Kubernetes is complicated because they don't understand the problems it's solving in the first place. If they did, it would be rather straightforward or they would recognize they don't need it in the first place.
Hey there that was a comment that I made. I am glad that it helped you.

I learnt it from Jordan B. Peterson. I highly recommend his book "12 rules for life" which has improved the overall quality of my life by a substantial magnitude in the last two months. This book led me to read some of the writings of Carl Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz which were further eye openers.

A warning though that he has a polarising effect on people. They either hate him or worship him. I would suggest reading the book with a beginners mind and applying in your life what seems apt to you :)

I had an orthopedic surgeon from the HSS (He taught Anatomy and Orthopedic Surgery at NYU) once, who told me to Always use your body even when if it hurts to do so because of an injury.

3 years ago I had a severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic, which affected the nerves in my dominant arm. This was painful to the point of waking me up from sleep and my arm was almost useless in certain ranges of motion. Prior to this I had neglected working out for about 5 years, but started again; it took about a year but my arm is back to normal now and I can do more consecutive pushups than my age... and I'm 58.

Ignore the pain and workout.
Yeah, good logging and good error reporting are those things to learn by being burned by a funny message at 3 am, or being embarassed by a funny message. Usually both at the same time.

It's amazingly frustrating to see: Hey if you just barfed the output of that failed command into a shell I could fix it but now I have to figure out why this several-hour command failed... bleh.
This comes from religious perspective, and one probably not widely shared (idk), so I expect this to be taken with a grain of salt: (hopefully, it is still comforting)

God's purpose is not to make us comfortable or to make life easy. It is to make us better, and happier. As part of that setup and goal, there are a couple of ways we can experience hard times. It can be from our own actions, and even the actions of others. Other times, it can be because we are doing things right, and are ready to grow and push our limits.

My point is this: experiencing a hard time doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong - it can come just as easily to someone doing everything right as to someone doing everything wrong. And in both cases, it can feel much the same

Bonus Analogy:

When searching for the absolute maxima in a 3d plane, you can be at low point for one of two reasons - either you're not doing it right and aren't actually heading uphill, or you reached a local maxima, and need to go lower in order to reach higher heights.

Corollary: We don't get to judge others for their hard times :)
.... all of them? Isn’t that the entire point of the web?
> At the moment people can publicy and on-the-record spout the most outrageous bullshit and even when they get proven wrong there is no repercussion. none.

On a personal level, just cut those people out of your life. Refusing to interact with people who knowingly lie and knowingly spread misinformation is the only rational choice. Time is our most valuable resource, spend your time on projects and people who will carry us forward rather than wasting time on people who are just worthless timesinks.
IMO those are also gambling, and I think some cards were made more rare, so to fully complete a set you would need to buy a large number of cards.
