These data breaches where the source isn't known can be frustrating. As someone who already uses unique passwords for everything, there's not much I can do (change 500+ passwords?). And I can understand Troy's argument[1] for not sharing the leaked password, so that doesn't leave many other options.

I guess I'll just start going through my saved passwords and use them to delete all of the old accounts I rarely use, maybe with a little help from the GDPR.

I'm actually already pretty decided against this. Simply because I won't the basic engine to be as text-focused as possible, as then we have a universal source of the modern web in pure text format, that multiple other clients (terminals being only one) can make use of. And besides graphics are orders of magnitude more bandwidth heavy than text, which somewhat defeats the purpose of Browsh.
Seeing anything that just says 'blockchain' instead of 'a blockchain' or 'the blockchain' instantly sets off red flags to me.

I'm more concerned about the janitors at Facebook that are earning $15 per hour with minimal benefits [1]. Those free meals and free gyms at Facebook and Apple are only for the alphas, the epsilons are there simply to cook their food and clean up after them.

To actually answer your question though, companies will pay the lowest wage possible while still being able to sufficiently fill positions. For engineers at Facebook this is $250k. For janitors and cooks it's $15 p/h.

This is not true. They came to an arrangements with the Melbourne city council, and hired people to go around and tidy it up.

They pulled out because too many people were dumping bikes in rivers and train tracks, and they weren't making enough money. They were reasonably popular.

Melbourne is a car addicted city though, and it is difficult to get anyone here to see an alternative.
It is mindboggling to me that ancient humans could have had such an impact that it's still seen today without concrete, stones, or any lasting structure. Just digging a ditch, then forgetting about it for two thousand years, until one day you can see dark lines in the grass.

Terminal.app doesn't support true colour :( So it can't properly take advantage of the UTF-8 half block trick to get 2 pixels of colour from each cell - thus creating the banding effect you see.
Best fit is something you can argue a lot about. There are a lot of data processing tools out there now, many of which have come out after Hadoop. But if the comparison is against some process running on a single machine, then the use case is not narrow. It includes basically anything where you're processing more than 1TB of data in non-trivial ways (i.e. not just a map operation) and are okay with batch processing.

I think George Carlin's death hurt HBO more than anything. That is to say if they were still the home of stand-up comedy they might still be cool. They really dropped the ball on that.
I’m not in IT tech, last job search a couple years ago took about a year and I’m starting another that’ll likely take as long. It’s just fantastic to me that multiple people could simultaneously find employment on short notice. It’s a world I haven’t experienced and am frankly envious of.
Rendering images using unicode block symbols does not make them text, it just makes them pixelated. And you can always down sample images to reduce the bandwidth cost and still get a much better rendering than you achieve currently. For example you can convert the images to indexed 256 color compressed PNG and transmit that, which would reduce bandwidth by a factor of ~4x while still giving you much better rendering.

But anyway, it was just a suggestion, it's your project, you should feel free to do what you think is best for it.
That's kind of the point of that post it's pointing out that you should consider weather you actually need to use something like Hadoop and that most people aren't actually working with data sets large enough for it to make sense.
The question is why would large, centralised entities use a blockchain to settle between each other? Large, centralised entities generally can and do trust each other to the extent required, so won't ever need a blockchain because they can use a more efficient system...
And then they started raising the licensing fees. Man what bad timing.
My solution for this is to use a unique email address for each site/ service. That way if I see that hn@mydomain.com has appeared in a breach, I know both where the leak came from and which password to change. Also helps identify the source of any spam emails...
Perhaps a solution to that might be to give the government the authority to relabel a token. That is, every property is represented by a unique transferable token. However, the ledger that says which token represents which property is maintained by the government, centrally. Under ordinary circumstances, this ledger is not consulted/used but when say, someone has their property seized by a court, it might be.
but you said you knew what they wanted:

I find the ordinary internet terribly overstimulating. It's a constant din of people screaming for my attention. Even relatively sober sites often have distracting designs that make it hard to focus on the content. Text mode is calming, it cuts straight through the clutter. In text mode, authors have to distinguish themselves by saying something interesting, and it's a lot easier to decide whether that's the case when they have nothing but words with which to make their arguments.
Only for the onramp. I know that you know that, too. Why are you arguing disingenuously? You have a reasonable case to make, you don't need to stoop to that.

Probably can't. Saudi military strength in Yemen is not limited by budget, so doesn't help with a military solution. And the issues of control and religion and security over which the war is being fought can't really be made to go away with money, so wouldn't help too much with a political solution.

In any case, building up a city in Yemen would not strengthen the Saudi state and MBS's personal political power in the way that a new and rich Saudi city would.

> Although Tom was doing the project for fun, often people use Hadoop and other so-called Big Data™ tools for real-world processing and analysis jobs that can be done faster with simpler tools and different techniques.

"Big Data™" is unnecessary shade.

> One especially under-used approach for data processing is using standard shell tools and commands. The benefits of this approach can be massive, since creating a data pipeline out of shell commands means that all the processing steps can be done in parallel. This is basically like having your own Storm cluster on your local machine.

It is entirely unlike having a Storm cluster on your machine, and trying to do your data processing as chained shell commands will rapidly become cumbersome if you try to do actual complex processing.

Yes, I get that the author is trying to point out that simpler tools can work for many cases, but the tone of the article makes it seem like that author is just generally saying that EMR/Hadoop is bad. He does not acknowledge just how weighted the test he did is against Hadoop or give any indication of what the tipping point is where you actually want to start considering something distributed. This paints a really misleading picture for anyone who does not already know a fair amount about these technologies.

Any given political systems works well in some cases, and poorly in others. American representative democracy works when the country is relatively unified on issues, but falls apart when the population is polarized (hence the lack of meaningful legislation since the Clean Air Act under Nixon). Authoritarianism works well when the ruling cohort is benevolent and technocratic, but falls apart when corruption, incompetence, or political instability take hold (various Chinese and Russian leaders fit the bill here).

All this is to say, things are complicated. The standard of living for hundreds of millions of people in China has increased unimaginably since Deng’s time: the middle class is still exploding, infrastructure is immaculate, pollution is improving, and global opportunities for middle class Chinese are opening dramatically. But at the same time, Xi’s tightening of power, the burgeoning surveillance state, the brutality being perpetrated in Xinjiang and Tibet, and the ongoing censorship are extremely troubling. Maybe things will change, and the population will grow extremely discontent. Maybe quality of life will continue to increase rapidly, China will become the dominant global superpower, and people will laud Xi as a visionary for decades to come. It’s just tough to say.
Check out the way China does it— bike and scooter lanes completely separated from traffic.

Not sure why you hate planned cities so much.

I probably come from a much different land (India), where chaos and organic growth is the norm for cities 4000-5000 years old. However, my favorite city is Chandigarh, a city planned by the "meglaniac" le corbusier. It is a serene small town very uncharacteristic of India, with clean well planned roads, greenery, law and order abiding population (you don't know Indian drivers, but they follow laws in Chandigarh). I pin all this down to the planned nature of Chandigarh which allows city planners to control and mould how the city should look and be.

I'm not perfectly clear why you'd prefer an unplanned chaos over planned orderly city. In contrast to Chandigarh, the city I originate from is a centuries old city which has grown "naturally", and doesn't even have sewage (and Indus valley civilization had them 5000 years ago).

Not that there is a lack of "soul" or "culture" in Chandigarh, the planned aspect covers making sure the traffic doesnt crawl, there is enough greenery, and utilities and amenities are provided to the population.
Yes.

I wonder if this'll end up in an equivalent state to the "tank detection neural net" which learned with 100% accuracy that the researchers/trainers had always taken pictures of tanks on cloudy days and pictures without tanks on sunny days? ( https://www.jefftk.com/p/detecting-tanks )

Who'd bet against the doctor/insurer neural net training ending up approving all procedures where, say, the doctor ends up with a kickback from a drug company - instead of optimising for maximum human health benefit?
But that's why I'm arguing that we have to think about it. As well as why I'm not arguing for legal accountability.

We have to be aware that the things we create aren't always going to be used for what we intend them to be used for. So you frequently have to ask yourself "how could this be abused?" That is something that engineers frequently ask themselves. I don't understand why developers can't be asked to do the same.
25 pages in, this is a great find, thanks for sharing.
But does it make the sound the audience used to make on his show?
I think people often don't realize the scale at which energy companies use contractors/etc. The "boots on the ground" folks are almost entirely contractors or hired through another company. Plenty of companies exist purely to provide employees to one oil company in one field.

Exxon/Chevron/Total/BP/etc each have around 50-100k employees (I may be a bit off there, but it's in the ballpark). The workforce required for each of their operations globally is in the low millions.

At the end of the day, a major oil company is actually a construction company. Their specialty is managing complex projects with lots of subcontractors. As a result, they have a surprisingly low employee count.

in this case the nodes in a blockchain can execute arbitrary tasks, its like access to a ton of Amazon Lambda machines. You have to pay them gas - or whatever currency/fuel/commodity powers that ecosystem - and you can execute commands to your heart's content, as long as the gas is tolerable.

Ethereum's nodes would probably be limited in what they could execute, more in line with your joke, but there are several distributed processing applications built on top of Ethereum such as iExecRLC. You can use their token to run your billions of records analysis.

Its more in line with your "past" observation. Just distributed computing with the economic incentives more broadly aligned instead of praying for altruism.
That’s a fine question to ask if the investor comes to you. If you are coming to the investor asking for money, you are not profitable and spending way more than your income, then I’d suggest not asking this stupid question.

I consult for VCs on a technical side and I sit in on many series A pitches. It’s funny how often when you ask a struggling startup why you, as a VC should invest millions into their business, they give the question like this back. “Why do you deserve to invest in my company?” “What are you as a VC bringing to the table?” “What kind of acceleration will you bring to my startup?”

The answer is “Millions of dollars in cash you just asked for” and in our minds we say “you stuck up asshole, you came to us.” At that point we often look for different investments. And we never go looking for companies to invest in. They always come to us.

>Only scale up the other bullshit when you absolutely have to.

Yet scaling becomes absolutely essential for a company doing anything sufficiently complex. The question is how do you maintain that small team efficiency across an enterprise. It seems that business and engineering are very similar in this regard in that the ultimate baseline problem to be solved is managing complexity. The answer seems to be in adhering to the Unix philosophy of tiny, self contained, composable parts which can be easily reasoned about and composed with.
We don't trust them. And negligent drivers are among the easiest to deal with. They're usually swerving, texting, slow to accelerate from lights or parked haphazardly. Most of the time you can give them space when you spot the signs. The scariest ones are the drivers who do close passes, cut you off to turn or scream out threats or profanities.

The Swiss National Bank is also publicly traded, which is AMAZING since all they do is buy Apple shares with money that didn't previously exist, like an infinite credit line you never have to pay back.

Right but 'so far' for such a hazing interview setup doesn't say much. You handed the candidate your laptop and a bug they don't know from Adam (is it some tricky shadowed var thing? Weird truthiness thing? It's a dumb typo! But only you know that) and are hovering over their shoulder and harumphing when they start typing 'console.'. Or you tell them they're doing it wrong if they start checking something only you already know is not the problem. This all measures something but it's probably not 'problem solving ability' of the sort that's useful for a web front end programmer.
Unless you're going to also plot operating costs per employee I don't know why anyone would expect this to make any sense.
