* "Syncthing" for keeping multiple copies of the current files, across devices in different locations, that will never malfunction at the same time. This is usually enough.

* "Back in Time" for keeping older file versions in external hard drives.

For this reason I'm kinda glad stuff like this is happening, it will be a clear reminder of what we're doing to the planet. Kinda like when our rivers caught on fire in the 70s.
Most corporate malfeasance is dealt with in civil law, not criminal. The EU specifically has almost no role in criminal law anyway, because that power remains with the nation states.

The reason is mostly that the corporation also got the profits from such actions, so it makes sense to target that entity with sanctions as well. The system is also designed to encourage companies to create processes to root out bad behaviour, instead of silently encouraging it and denying all responsibility, instead making individuals take the fall.

Another reason is that in many of these cases it's not obvious where and when a policy originated, at what point it started breaking the rules, etc.

Of course there are still crimes that can get managers into trouble, such as bankruptcy, all sorts of counterfeiting, fraud, etc.

So I was reading this site and am particularly concerned about the crypto miner present on the page. Care to explain this to me? Hint: MITM due to insecure context and the miner isn't coming from the site itself but as a user, I'm going to blame the site because it happens on the insecure site.

If you think a MITM can't do any harm with a static page then you simply aren't being creative enough.

> does anyone else get a little upset when GCP, AWS, and Azure are able to buy their way into a market

There's benefits to smaller, hungrier teams building things, but unless they have paying customers on day one they're also buying their way into the market one way or another...
This is basically the story of the modern world as viewed through the distorting lens that is media (and especially social media). I wish people would take the two sentences you wrote and then use them as a corrective lens that undoes this distorted perspective.
No they are designed to force the market to work for consumers first, and manufacturers and retailers second.

I would imagine that a heist like this would take significant amount of prep work. The weekends were just the tips of the icebergs. While $2.4M is fair chunk of money, I too think that the payout for the amount of effort seems relatively meager.
Stand that? Why would you? With all today's science? You'd have better luck with GDPR compliance
Terrafirm isn't provider neutral. It is just a declarative wrapper for cloud provider APIs. Code using one provider is not easily translated to another.

I do think it's an excellent configuration management and provisioning tool, but Go Cloud solves a different problem.
There are various controls detailed in the study.

For example, they checked for some class associations:

> Applicants living in better neighborhoods receive more callbacks but, interestingly, this effect does not differ by race.

and this bit:

> First, we examine whether the race-specific names we have
chosen might also proxy for social class above and beyond the race of the applicant. Using birth certificates
data on mother’s education for the different names used in our sample, we find little relationship between
social background and the name specific callback rates.

> ...

> We also argue that a social class interpretation would find it hard to explain all of our results, such as why living a better neighborhood does not increase callback rates more for African American names than for White names.

This bit likely controls indirectly for class, as well:

> Whites with higher quality resumes receive 30 percent more callbacks than Whites with lower quality resumes, a statistically significant difference. On the other hand, having a higher quality resume has a much smaller effect for African Americans.
Not enough red queen thinking in that line of thought.

> The investment is no longer substantial in public R&D.

The US is spending over half a trillion dollars per year on R&D total, and the Federal Government is spending $113 billion - every year - on R&D. How is that not substantial exactly? A trillion plus dollars every ten years is a lot of R&D.

The US total spending on R&D as a share of GDP is about 40% higher than the EU and is about 30% higher than China's current ratio.

China's total R&D spend, between public and private sectors, is around $260b to $300b. So the US Federal Government all by itself is spending ~37%-43% of what all of China combined is on R&D. That's substantial.

Currently on an inflation adjusted basis, Federal spending on R&D is as high as it was in the late 1990s. There's a fair argument to be made that it should be perhaps $50 billion higher. Federal spending on R&D nearly doubled during the Bush Administration, and then flat-lined under Obama before declining in the last few years of his Presidency. If you continue the spending expansion of the Bush years, it would add up to around $50-$60 billion more.

The problem? The US has an inbound trillion dollar budget deficit, 2/3 of which consists of entitlement costs ballooning ever higher. Business spending on R&D has massively expanded in the last 30 years, going from $60 billion up to $360+ billion or so. To an extent I'm ok with that arrangement, the government can focus on more important things like entitlements. The $113 billion per year in Federal R&D is plenty to put toward long-term projects that the private sector isn't funding.
I for one am much happier with the newer keyboard and now the old one feels weirdly mushy and gross.

I would not trust any coverage of supposed issues with Apple hardware. There is a huge incentive for negative coverage. Remember Antenna-gate with the iPhone 4? They continued selling the iPhone 4, completely unmodified, for years after that whole debacle. That's how widespread the supposed issue was.

"parents are more focused on keeping their children safe, content and happy in the moment than on parenting for competence"
Yes, I think minds work better when they can be self oriented. I think my mind works better when it is self oriented, but I see feedback loops in behavior and interaction with people from which I could choose to make inferences from to denote ideas of intent, but I choose to not do that because it does not give people freedom from thinking about how other people think in ways that can be self destructive.

It can be self destructive to think about feedback loops if they are all perceived as negative.

Alignment of models. Ebbs and flows. I think it's important to see positives.
Even with the fix, I'm afraid you're still shilling out a lot of money for top hardware that can't be used to its maximum extent. Because of the thin form factor limitations, insufficient thermal design and possibly even something as silly as not using the best thermal paste.

And the system as a whole will still run quite hot for high CPU+GPU loads, so who knows how that affects the electronics and battery life longer term.

Please, Apple, just make it 1mm thicker already.
If we were to answer every use case every time we need to make a societal change, then nothing would get done.

The scope of people you mention with that disability is very very small. And still, they could work around metal by using a piece of rubber on the tip. Hell, someone could invent a special straw just for disabled people (we could make it longer and more flexible, you might call it a tube!).

Instead of ripping apart my lay ideas and complaining about our attempts at fixing climate change, perhaps we ought to be thinking of better solutions for our friends with disabilities. Because ultimately, climate change will take the lives of people with disabilities before it takes the lives of able-bodied people.
> "parenting science" is like "nutritional science." It's almost entirely bullshit, and little to no progress has been made in the field ever.

Your analogy is a good one, but it goes a layer deeper than I think you realize.

"Parenting science" is like "nutritional science" in that, based on what you can get out of the popular sources, it is almost entirely bullshit. It's also similar in that the science has continued to make progress, but you never really hear of it because very little of what's being discovered is the kind of thing that will sell books or attract advertisers.
I have encfs folder in Dropbox, works reasonably well, but I do not have any automatic process writing to this from two different machines, that may cause trouble. That gives me privacy and keeps the most important files always backed up.

For a bulk backup, once per month I bring one of the 3 portable HDDs from another place, attach it to my server and start my custom backup script that saves encrypted zips of sensitive directories and rsync-backup of everything else to it. At any time 2 or 3 HDDs are outside the house.
As someone who does both, the bank, to me, is mainly a convenience. It makes it easy to pay people.

Because you’ll lose when your neighboring country doesn’t apply that tax, and then you’re forced to impose a tariff on their products so it doesn’t ruin your economy, but then you realize that you’re effectively taxing your citizens with that tariff while you’re incurring all the costs of your neighbours pollution.
It's the same product -- it was just renamed.
go reflect is not commonly used, goroutines are pretty simple to pick up. I have used several large codebases with zero use of reflection. The point of go is it restricts you to 25 keywords (the basics that you sneer at above) so senior people can't get fancy and produce an impenetrable mess/marvel that beginners will take months to orient themselves in.

It is definitely easier to write well than js IMO, and harder to make a big ball of mud in.
This is a nice write up. My only concern is that these days we think that the alternative to free is $40 to hundreds of dollars a months for something decent.

In the days of shared hosting, you could drop $3 to $5 to host your small website and expect your website to decently perform. But with your DO/Linode, you can expect excellent performance for the same price.

It sounds like you are arguing that manipulating genetics is an easier way to encourage intelligence then education and environment. Is that really what you are trying to say?

Because that sounds ridiculous to me.
Not to mention probably the hardest bit, which is how does it do persistent storage? Running k8s on the various cloud providers tends to use storage engines for those providers (ebs, etc)...

Does it ship with ceph out of the box? Some in-house block store? What happens when it breaks? Persistent volumes are IMO the very hardest thing to get right, and for me it's the big reason why I'd rather put my trust in a hosted solution in the first place.

If they solve this, and make it as seamless and easy as using cloud storage offerings, they've completely changed the game. Somehow I think they have a ways to go.
Board game playing programs consider much more than every next possible move from a single state. Any decently skilled amateur could easily beat a program that can only reckon one move into the future. I see the argument you're trying to make here but the numbers you're citing do not support it, in my opinion. DeepMind is considering much more than the 130k moves possible from a single state during each move of play.

Why stop there, really?

The EU should collect taxes for all the member states and then give it back to them in some equitable fashion. It would certainly stop all the bickering over tax havens and countries not collecting their "fair share".
Masters will run on-prem. We have connection agent that let's us securely talk to the Kube API Server from GCP. We wanted to ensure that the cluster is fully functional even if the connection goes down.

People like to live near amenities, transportation hubs, and so forth. And many types of jobs fundamentally cannot be remote. And even if hypothetically everywhere became equally viable to live, then rents would adjust to take that into account. Of course, those with special skills will always do better. And geo-arbitrage opportunities exist during interim periods for early adopters of new folkways and new technologies.

As the parent of a smart 10 year old with ADHD, homework has actually been invaluable. We use the larger assignments to help him learn to manage his time and attention level. For example, we take a 5 minute scooter break after 20 minutes of work. For very large assignments, we also break things up into manageable chunks.

The homework is also very useful to have a chance to review topics and ensure understanding of things that maybe he missed in class due to not paying as close attention as he needed to.

It's been very gratifying to see his confidence levels improve and for him to start to self-manage his time or even decide to skip a scooter break because he was on a roll.

Clearly all of these are probably ancillary to the stated purpose of homework and are my own specific situation.

Just a comment here about this in general - given all the resources at Google’s disposal, I’m perplexed as to why we don’t see world-class (or even at least halfway decent) documentation being shipped along with the product at first release. As a community I think we need to demand higher standards in this area. If GNU can do it, Google certainly can.
Although audio is subjective to our own qualia, it is silly to suggest that you can't quantify the difference in quality of various audio setups. Even though I used the term "orders of magnitude" colloquially rather than literally, it is well within reason to use the term literally as well.

It is not difficult to imagine a machine with multiple sensitive recording and analytics devices that could measure the reproduction of audio in a room and generate a score based on how well it matches the original recording itself. This device, in fact, is not even imaginary but actually exists, and can legitimately give scores to audio configurations that differ on "orders of magnitude".

Certainly there is a point where this device would rate sensitivities far beyond human ability to distinguish, but I would argue that the difference between sound bars and AV+speaker setups is well within the range of standard human perception. We're not even close to the controversial $5-10k+ setups.
In the US, it is different. You get into grad school with a strong bachelors and are expected to get your masters on the way to your PhD. Some people come in with masters, but the vast majority from the US are applying right after their 4 year bachelors and are expected to take graduate-level physics courses and rotate with groups for 1-2 years before starting their thesis work.

Not true in the US at all. It is very rare for a student to finish in 3-4 years here in the US unless they are absolutely stellar.
Welcome to the real world.

This sort of gov't/regulatory actions, or bias, against foreign companies is nothing new and manifest in different shapes and colors. Do you remember when the Obama administration reversed a foreign company's win (Samsung) at ITC against a domestic company (Apple) in the name of "public interest." I fully supported Obama's decision to do so to protect domestic companies against foreign ones. The EU likewise has every right to trouble anyone who doesn't comply with their rules or suck up to their liking.

Now in all seriousness, I don't think there are too many direct competitors to Google in EU who would benefit from this "protectionism." Except for maybe Opera? Like others have pointed out, most of these anti-trust investigation are instigated by their competitors, not by zealous nationalists or protectionists.
I disagree with that characterization, for the reasons stated here: https://www.vox.com/2016/1/14/10760622/nutrition-science-com.... In my view, if you can't develop mathematical models and test them against properly conducted experiments, then your field is not a "science." Nutrition is not a science, neither is parenting, or anything else that relies primarily on observational studies and lacks a theoretical model to connect observations together into a coherent theory.

That is not to say that observational research may not be valuable. Both nutrition and and parenting could, in theory, be developed into sciences. But until then, the fields are just collections of (often unreproducable) observations. They cannot provide general principles for say raising kids, in the same way that fluid dynamics can provide general principles for building airplanes.

+1 for synology NAS. The quality and frequency of updates has been high. I've used both rsync and Time-Machine based backups.

And I too like that it's a hardware business model: I have the sense that my purchase(s) fund development of useful features, not creepy upsell opportunities.

They had a scare several years back about a remote exploit. I think it has caused them to take security and updates seriously ever since.
As with everything, it’s nuanced. The EPA regulations requiring methane management are fairly recent, although some waste management orgs have been more progressive than others historically (and there’s money to be made in piping or burning that methane).

With that said, it’s entirely possible there are older landfills that are simply exhausting methane into the atmosphere. I expect their numbers to fall over time, as the EPA has a substantial budget (~$100MM) for landfill custodians who would like to remediate their methane disposal.

You’ll need to set up an external borg-server ONCE. From there you can additionally sync it to where ever you want using the method you want. E.g. Google cloud. As long as it's encrypted, you don't need to bother about the hosters activities. But forget the USB-sticks.

E.g.: Borg to local RAID every 2 hours, sync RAID with cloud every 24 hours.
The area people are talking about is mainly Civic Center / Tenderloin. It’s the only are left in the city with real public housing, and it’s in the middle of the city. As a result of the zoning, it’s hard to gentrify. So what the city had been doing is giving huge tax cuts to companies to move into the area. But they move in and create a ivory tower that no one ever leaves. You see extreme poverty next to extreme wealth. The streets are filled with drifters, day hookers and an open air drug market and the people in the towers get chauffeured to and from work.
