Interesting calculus of choices there: I don’t miss the distraction or privacy implications of my personal phone, yet I expect a company to issue me a phone which comes with distraction and privacy implications (the subject surveillance of the article disregards whether a pocketed phone is corporate because it can work with numbers directly), and I also don’t maintain a landline to sit for a phone screen to find that opportunity in the first place, so I expect to talk to you over Zoom (ceding more privacy; surprise, cellular call content is legally sensitive for LE, video packets aren’t) or in person.

You probably don’t realize nor intend this, but that can be a large red flag for your candidacy from the other side of the table, particularly if the role involves security because you’re broadcasting a slight misjudgment of your threat vectors and exposure. The number of resumes most folks go through, expecting ravens from Winterfell will get you dropped fast. Torvalds could probably get away with making initial hailing frequencies that difficult, but you or I should just buy a phone number of some kind, as much as it sucks.

The phone isn’t the problem if you apply opsec correctly, buy the right one, and operate it like a compromise hazard. (It is.)
One of the level designers for WoW has apparently written a book on the game's original development. The Kickstarter [1] for it failed due to an unrealistic funding goal, but if you're looking for something along those lines it might be something you'd be interested in keeping track of as he's planning on re-launching a funding campaign with a smaller budget.

Not a book, but the blog posts on making the original Crash Bandicoot [2] make for a great read, especially due to some of the issues they ran into in trying to squeeze out every last bit of performance from the original Playstation. [3]

The easiest way to convince your friend of his error is to imagine the odds when there are n doors, and Monty opens n-2 of them, the ones which don't contain the prize and aren't your first pick.
I'm not very familiar with his work, but your description above reminded me of something. Back in the late 80s or early 90s, River Phoenix's band, "Allica's Attic" came to perform on the campus of the University of Miami where I was a music student at the time. My girlfriend at the time had a crush on him, so took me to see the show.

I could say something similar about their music - that it was in a league of it's own. I think because they didn't understand the rules of listenable music, they were free to try whatever they wanted. Unfortunately, it didn't work. They were awful. But it was in spite of what they were doing, not because of it, oddly enough. They really did say "F you!" to the rules and try new stuff. They just weren't very good at it. Also, Mr. Phoenix was incredibly arrogant and rude to the audience at the time, which didn't help. But it was fascinating to watch.

You’re listing cities that had low home prices, then dropped even further from 2008-2012. A home that sold for $120k in 2008 dropped to 60-70 and may be worth 70-100 today. (I live in Rockford.)

I tried using MongoDB for the customer-facing analytics of a large e-commerce marketplace. It didn't work very well. The problem is that at some point you end up wanting joins.

MongoDB was actually the third try. My first two attempts were BigQuery and Keen, neither of which worked out because they support only one index - time. Users want to slice and dice by various axes! And there's an obvious additional index you need - "merchant" - which column stores usually say propose setting up isolated partitions for. If you do that, you can't ask questions across the whole system!

We ended up with Postgres. It was actually faster than MongoDB for simple aggregations, and joins made it much better/faster for complicated queries. Of course it only works quickly if your dataset fits in RAM, but terabyte-size instances are pretty affordable and give you a lot of headroom.

That was a couple years ago. I don't know what they're using now, probably the same. It was a frantic few weeks figuring out what was going to work - each of those systems made it to production and quickly discovered to be inadequate in vivo. If you're in a startup, even if you're using exotic NoSQL systems like Google Cloud Datastore or DynamoDB - just use Postgres or MySQL for analytics. It will work long enough for you to figure out something else when you need it.

My dad hit us sometimes when we were being dumb, but otherwise he was great

People possibly react strangely to that for a few additional reasons?

- Culturally now, "hit" can refer to anything all the way up to criminal domestic violence, blunt weapons, and hospital visits.

- Kids routinely cover for their parents, even when they are the second kind- the kind that just lose their temper, beat their children unconscious, etc.

Less vague terms like "spanked", "slapped", etc might cause milder reactions...
Thanks, that adds the necessary context.

Instead of "criminal", I think you mean "intentionally engaged in an illegal enterprise". From the context, I doubt you mean to restrict the statement to those already convicted of crimes. Beyond that, it's very tough to know if you're currently committing any crimes (or any non-criminal illegal activity), as we don't even know how many laws we have.[0]

I agree that the vast majority of those that will have trouble are intentionally engaged in illegal activity. But, at any given time, there must be both fair fair number of people who are unintentionally committing illegal acts and those who are falsely believed by law enforcement to be committing illegal acts.

There is an argument to be made that everyone should be more careful about privacy, thereby increasing the cost (and opportunity cost) of invasive investigations and forcing law enforcement to be more selective about the degree of certainty they have before employing more invasive investigation techniques.

I can’t speak to the aggregate, but going from two to three lanes in each direction on I-90 in northern IL has cut travel times for us by about 8% despite increased total traffic. This is because trucks passing now leave the left lane open and because the speed limit was increased 5MPH.
The problem with hybrid solutions is that you usually want your data warehouse (which is queried by analysts) separate from your database (which is queried by your app). The data warehouse is getting random queries written by analysts, and its schema is constantly evolving as upstream data sources are added and changed. This is not a recipe for a high-availability system. Since you’re going to set up a separate data warehouse anyway, having a single database that can do both types of workload isn’t as useful as you might expect.

It peaked not from a lack of demand but from hitting an inevitable scaling roadblock. Now the community is busy deploying a layer 2 (Lightning) to the Bitcoin mainnet that can offer transactions per second that exceed any financial system today, not to mention a whole host of breathtakingly innovative developments powered by this new layer.

I understand the justifiable HN frustration at the prevalence of scams and overpromises that have plagued the blockchain (mainly ICO) world as of late. But the blockchain is getting better, and with developments that make SWIFT innovations seem trivial by comparison.

Most businesses that rily on unskilled labor are tripling down on automation / systems engineering.

The common explanation is cost savings, but I've observed another major driver : quality of service.

Our current unemployment rate is virtually the lowest in 20yrs and it's hard to hire ANYBODY as a result. (1)

And the low unemployment rate has had the interesting effect of upwards mobility for the traditional unskilled clerk / laborer / driver / server / etc.

As a result the labor pool that is showing up is less professional / educated than they have been in the past which is creating major quality of service issues, training issues, etc.

Automation in some of these jobs is a necessity, as the automation tech is a closer reality than availability of "professionalized" unskilled labor.

The Unsplash license contains the following:

"This license does not include the right to compile photos from Unsplash to replicate a similar or competing service."

Therefore use "for commercial and noncommercial purposes" is quite restricted to whatever Unsplash considers "a similar or competing service", a vague definition that could change at any time. The medium.com article you pointed to has a bad pointer[1] when it comes to explaining what this means. Unsplash decides what that means ad hoc so you don't really know what your rights are. If what comes under "photos published on Unsplash" could also be considered a computer program, the above quoted clause would render such a program to be nonfree software (see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html for a definition of free software).

CC0 has no clause comparable to the above quoted clause in the Unsplash license. Also, CC0 is a more thorough abdication of copyright power in copyright regimes where the public domain exists. Unlike the Unsplash license, CC0 uses licensing under a lax, permissive license as a fallback, not a primary mechanism for giving up one's copyright power in the work. This point is not given its due in the medium.com article you pointed us to. Finally, according to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0 CC0 is a non-copyleft free software license when applied to computer software.

https://stripe.ian.sh addresses this objection:

> First, from incorporation to issuance of the EV certificate, I spent less than an hour of my time and about $177. $100 of this was to incorporate the company, and $77 was for the certificate. It took about 48 hours from incorporation to the issuance of the certificate.

> The primary point raised by advocates of extended validation is that obtaining EV certificates would leave behind a signifigant paper trail of the bad actor's identity. However, there is minimal individual identity verification in the process. Dun & Bradstreet1 is the only entity who attempted to verify my identity, and did so with a few trivial identity verification questions. Purchasing identities with answers to common verification questions is neither hard nor expensive.

> Otherwise, there was no attempt at identity verification from the state of Kentucky or the registered agent I used in the process. This is typical of company formation in the United States.

Given the use of a registered agent, and given that registered agents are a pretty common thing, I don't think that anything is actually being burned here, unless you want to say that any registered agent who incorporates a phishing company gets all their other companies banned. Which, like the CASC's "You can't have EV if you haven't existed for 18 months" suggestion, will technically work at the cost of making EV useless.

Also, a lot of attacks don't care that they're burning credentials anyway. You don't need to spoof MyEtherWallet more than once to walk off with hundreds of thousands in Ethereum. You don't need to spoof the Washington Post more than once to spread fake news 48 hours before a presidential election.

Designing Reusable React Components
Just wondering, why can't you license your photos through whatever service/license they want, and mention in your profile that all pictures are under Creative Commons and copying is authorised (plus mention a personal site with all the pictures in full resolution there)? As the original copyright holder you are allowed to grant this extra license in addition to whatever the platform says.
I believe it's the reaction time lag, not using the brakes instead of the throttle to slow down. Basically people suck at staying in the ideal position half way between the car in front in the car in back. Because of that they brake hard as they come close to the car in front. The next car has to brake harder... till you end up with cars stopping. So it's the human reaction time combined with cars accelerate (generally) slower than they brake.
1-2 weeks is far too long for a yeasted dough to sit in a refrigerator. 2-5 days would be the max.
> Latent demand is the idea that if you widen a highway to reduce its traffic density, people who would otherwise have stayed on surface streets will now fill the newly available space on the highway, negating the benefit of having more lanes.

...if the only benefit of building more lanes was reducing mean transit time at rush hour. You could also just build a one lane road and have the toll so high that only a single driver could afford to use it; that would be optimally “beneficial” in this model.
Yeah, I think that saying more lanes means more traffic is just ignoring the fact that the current road system never met the original demand. Also, we obviously have to plan for growth. We do have more people on the roads than we did in decades past. I haven't checked the numbers but I bet highway-lane-miles has not kept pace with population growth.
Disclaimer: A lot more goes into designing reusable React components than you can see in this post. This post mainly addresses common issues I've seen that prevent components from being reused. Perhaps the title is misleading... Definitely looking for some feedback, or additional items to add to the list.

Speaking personally, it taught me a combination of self awareness (no one is as interested as you are in the thing you are or for the same reasons; don’t spend so much effort trying to change their minds you lose your own passion) and empathy (trying to get interested in the things others are may grow something between you).
It would be interesting to learn how they are going to solve the problems of relatively high apogee orbits. For example, what's going to be done with space junk? If they are going to seriously compete with current airline industry, there are many flights and there are many objects to cross orbits with. Or what about levels of radiation in the middle of ballistic trajectory?

Another question is of reliability at landing - Zarya spacecraft design was shelved in ~1985 because powered landing alone was deemed to risky - and that's for relatively infrequent government flights, not for passenger industry.

Nonsense. I publish all of my photos on Flickr using a CC license.

Lane expansion isn't likely to eliminate rush hour, but it will increase the number of vehicles served, and can also reduce the duration of peak congestion. As vehicle populaton grows, congestion will grow as well, however.

A recession is even better than construction at improving traffic, however.
This. There are lots of studies that have pointed to slow re-starters as the prime culprit for traffic. And it's only gotten worse with cellphones because now there is something to longer distract people when the come to a stop.

> Wasn't it in multiple letters to shareholders? It is literally an update to debtors on the company's position, far from arbitrary.

Debtors are people who owe you money. The word you are probably looking for is “creditors”, who are people you owe money (e.g., corporate bondholders.)

But, while it's closer, stockholders aren't those, either.

Stuff in lxss is treated "special" - files in that directory have unix numeric permissions on NTFS instead of ACL permissions. Windows doesn't know how to set those, so if win32 subsystem is updating permissions (for instance, on file save) and the linux subsystem is updating metadata (for instance, on file save), it's possible to end up in a state where neither subsystem is able to get permission to touch the file again.

For this reason, it is recommended to only edit files outside this directory from both subsystems (not to say this isn't issue-free, but it's relatively reliable.)
