I followed that literarary-clock kindle tutorial at the weekend, and I think dropbear was the SSH client the networking hack used. Makes sense if it's designed to be low-resource.
I haven't used SimpleSSHD but I use Termux, which gives me a "normal" terminal (no root required).

Since Android 8 I've lost write access to general locations in the sd-card but I still have read access, as well as read+write on the internal storage.

It has an ssh server which can be nice if you want to edit some files on the phone remotely but that's not needed for rsync. I have a shortcut on the home screen which triggers a script that runs an rsync command for photos and other stuff I want to backup. Also use it to reverse-sync a folder from my NAS, want to send a file to the phone? But the file in that folder and run the script.

I have been doing on and off value investing as a hobby investor for 8-9 years now and can share some of the mistakes to avoid.
Company valuation is just as important as before. It is just the way it is done has changed quite a lot since Graham.
1. Company Growth (past and future) has to be incorporated in the valuation. Company with P/E 15 growing at 2% per year is more expensive than company with P/E 30 growing at 40%. This is the reason FB and GOOG are actually a value plays nowadays.
2. As already said the value of Intellectual Property, Software and Human Capital can't be easily read from the balance sheet alone. Yet these are the most valuable assets that yield highest returns.
3. If the founder of the company is CEO and large shareholder the company is worth a lot more than if not.
4. Doing all this research on your own is hard and very time consuming. There are some excellent paid stock newsletters with great track record that can do this for you for 300$ per year or less.
Do yourself a favor and use them. Your family will thank you.
Yeah, when I got mine working I decided to just go from scratch.... you might even be able to use upstream qemu by now.
Why? Are you willing to elaborate? This type of comment really doesn't add value to the conversation.
There is merit in having a deductible, however there are several ways in which this system is flawed.

First, employers should be out of the healthcare equation entirely, except in as far as either taxes or salaries are used to fund health costs the employee bears. After all, employers don't participate in many other common expenses people bear, from housing to educating their children.

Second, individuals are generally not capable of "shopping around" for the best value healthcare; they simply don't have sufficient knowledge to properly evaluate the various options. This is why you need some form of independent assessment of treatment costs and benefits, such as the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [1].

Insurance based systems with government oversight are the norm in most of Europe.

Agustin, congratulations and good luck on your wonderful journey! Passive investment is something I've been following closely in Canada and hoping you can really help people secure their finances.

I have been in financial services strategy for quite a while now in various parts of the retail banking world and have been leading customer acquisition for both cards and retail banking in general. You're right - distribution is a big challenge but another big challenge is getting people to trust you with their money.

For me, you can either build the trust on your own (hard) or rely on your existing customers to help funnel the trust (i.e. referral schemes). Case studies, online calculators, customer videos speaking about the product, partnerships (have to be careful that this is a win-win) are some tactics you can think about.

Other questions for thought:
- Does the government in Chile provide deposit guarantees? (i.e. if you go bankrupt, does the govt pay back the depositors a certain percentage?)
- Can you convince people to move just a small percentage of their savings? Are you expecting people to use your platform for 100% of their investments or can you get people to consider you as part of their wider investment strategy?
- Can your existing customers help in some way or form (i.e. referral scheme, communities, etc.)?

Wealthsimple is a great company that you can look to emulate as they do automated investments for Canadians.

Monzo is another great one. Based in the UK, their acquisition growth has been incredible with minimal marketing. Effectively, relying on word of mouth and a great product experience.

If you wanted to discuss more, happy to talk it through my experiences in Canada and the UK

Hey everyone

My name is Tim and as a designer and maker, I have been getting quite frustrated by how hard it is to find royalty-free video content that ACTUALLY looks good on mobile devices in a vertical format.

So I asked talented filmmakers online to contribute some of their videos and created a catalog of high-resolution beautiful vertical videos, which I intend to update every week.

Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions and learn how to make it easier and better to use or what to improve!

I live in New Delhi, India and it can get unbearably hot here during the summer. Temperatures as high as 40 degree Celsius and above are taken for granted.
Air conditioning is of immense value in a region like this. But for majority of the population, it is a luxury. Even those with air conditioning use it in moderation to keep electricity bills in check.

Having moved across three different apartments in the same locality over the past 2 years, I've experienced how even slight improvements in architecture can significantly decrease the effects of heat-wave. The author's point does hit home.
Well played. Despite the tragedy, that must be your finest OSM hour.
> Considering that there are over 300 million, yes million, people in China who do not speak Mandarin

I don't think your numbers are right. Tibet has 4 million population. Xinjiang has 20 million, among which 50% are Han. Those are only 2 provinces where I can think of that doesn't require Mandarin to get by in certain area.

The rest of China, at least, could understand Mandarin without problems.
That makes a lot of sense and actually sounds like a really interesting idea. Thanks for the explanation.

I'm very similar. other than you've got about 5 more years on me :D

If you're referring to musical instruments, then yeah, that's the only reason I even have a windows 7 VM around. Although increasingly I've been able to get the necessary code to run under wine....

But yes:
> I hate windows. It sucks so much. Even just using it not that often with my instruments reminds me why I stopped using it.

Is basically my mental state as well. (and, hence, swore off windows around 2000)

I'm curious though, how would having a pure (aka linux) dev environment for macos help you in your situation?
Maybe there's a niche in the market for an egg freezing company with multiple availability zones, like AWS or GCP. Hope they adopt good SRE practices and don't screw up their uptime ;)
Convenience. Yes they're both x64, but you know your supply chain, vendors, what works and what doesn't, and maybe even it's just for peace of mind.

We introduced some AMD servers in January, and the setup had its ups and downs. First We had to go through multiple BIOS updates for stability reasons, also kernel updates kept improving overall experience regarding the CCX architecture... I mean they're working, but Intel systems have almost always delivered a plug and play experience for the last decade or so.
Great! These are really two accomplishments that deserve to be shared.

Have you climbed twenty stories at once? As someone who is asthmatic it is incredibly hard for me to do this in one go without reaching for the inhaler, and I am a fairly active person. Anyone who does any amount of floors above 5 will find themselves tired. And then think about the disabled and elderly? Not having an elevator relegates them to the first floor, meaning the government will have to impose that they belong to disabled people, and likely resulting in an abnormally high rent/mortgage unless their are rent controls or the flat itself is owned by the government, which you can't always rely on. Also I wouldn't rely on a hook to hook much modern stuff upwards, for health and safety it wouldn't be allowed. In fact, why not just have an elevator? Then you wouldn't need a professional to hoist the cargo!!

I have a feeling the people who installed elevators in buildings thought it through.
Exact same thing happened to me. Also a developer, also struggled in Germany, always wanted more and needed a challenge.

Let me tell you how things progressed for me going downhill from where you are now. The boredom transformed into depression. The depression into anxiety. The anxiety into constant panic attacks. I was not able to leave the house and go to the office. I was under the constant impression death was around the corner, I was having pain all over my body. I struggled like that for 2 years.

I ended up in a hospital twice, they were constantly telling me nothing's wrong with me. And then I knew something has to change.

I packed my stuff and left. Started seeing a professional and after maybe two months I was back on my feet. She helped me get rid of the panic and anxiety.

Still afraid to get back to work, I took another year and just did whatever the hell I wanted. Traveled a lot, slept like crazy, spent time with friends. Even did a bit of work, but only on my projects, and always being careful of how hard I push myself.

Fast forward 3 years. I am back on track with my life and career. I am freelancig now, working on my own stuff, and consulting.

What I learned in the last years:

A job is not something worth killing yourself over. Yes, some people do a 9-5 mediocre job, but I can't change them.

Divide the work/personal life with a thick line. Find a good balance between the two.

Stop trying to make millions with my next big startup, and just have fun going forward. Things will happen on their own.

Connect with people like me.

Be really really pragmatic when it comes to my job. Avoid bringing in emotions and avoid pushing too hard.

That being said, take care of yourself. Don't let it go downhill, the sooner you fix it the better. There's a fix for you, no worries, just have to find it

Remember one thing: You can't do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.
Convenience. Having a table mapping id to string is logically equivalent and plays nicer with transactions. But it's much less convenient.

In principle SQL databases could have some sugar for foreign keys to tables that just bijectively map ids to human-readable identifiers, but they don't. I always wondered why not.

With enums I get readable, type-checked values I can auto-complete on and that I can use "in-place". With a table I don't get auto-completion and I need to do a join for readability if my enums are "true" enums (and have an ordering).
Invest in the Mess (2010)
It‘s not even about earning a profit. It should not be the goal of the government to collect (part of) its budget via fines, i.e. citizens breaking rules. Instead, it should always be the goal to have no need to fine.

And we can actually estimate how much the government actually saves if it does not need to fine (that much). Let‘s first look at the costs of the status quo:

- it costs X to check rules are followed (here: no cars park where they must not); this is mostly personnel costs\* but note that we may be talking about „manhours spent that could have been spent doing more sensitive/productive things“

- it costs Y to maintain the infrastructure to process and follow up on the fines (here: the $190 million IBM contract\* )

- it costs Z to collect the fines, process the payments (personnel costs), follow up on those that do not pay, court fees (process & personnel costs), jail costs (cause it‘s ’murica), and whatnot.

Now, if there are no\* fines to prosecute, here‘s a few ways the state can gain money:

- Citizens spend less time and money with unproductive work (here: paying fines), leaving more time for work (or relaxation which again increases productivity) and money to spend (raising economic output + sales tax).

- Officers, beuracrats, and judges can spend their time dealing with more important work.

- E.g. in the case of parking fines, businesses affected by cars parking in their way can instead do their business unhampered, i.e. be productive and this increases, again, economic output.

All of that increases tax returns (or reduces tax money spent for dealing with the fines).

\* Obviously, there‘s no way fines will drop to zero, because humans. But minimizing fines allows to minimize capital and infrastructure costs and increases economical output, thus there‘s a net gain that can offset the costs to reach that goal, if not immediately then within a few years.

Users who want fast startup simply load emacs-server once on system startup and run the emacsclient when needed. Emacs starts in a jiffy when done this way. Of course this probably will not help you with resetting accumulated states.
I wouldn't trust the Sub-Zero fridge. I suppose I could feel somewhat safe with a refund/replace warranty (at my choice) with hefty payouts for downtime.

I went looking at high-end oven/range things one day, after having had the Samsung fridge experience. I noticed that underneath the fancy knobs they had the same crappy quarter-inch shafts as the low-end models. Some of the knobs looked like seriously impressive chunks of steel or brass... but that only put more weight and leverage on the standard-sized shafts.

I saw somebody take apart an older iPhone, maybe the 4. The phone had some really nice looking buttons on the side, machined out of stainless steel. Inside the phone it was a very different story: really flimsy crap.
Exactly, that's why I think is really important for the authors of a paper to post the paper directly to paperkast. It'll be hub for their paper.

Now obviously, that is one tiny metric, but you can be forgiven for thinking it is "taking over the world".
You can't, unless you run qemu there. Which you can do, but it kinda defeats the purpose. And in the best case scenario you still gonna need some changes to host, like extra kernel boot parameters most likely.
I've used a professional wideband BLE analyser before (I can't remember which one unfortunately) and while it was a few thousand pounds, I don't think it cost as much as $10k.

Also I've used Nordic's sniffer program before and it worked well and is free (plus a very small amount for the hardware). Windows only though.
This is an insane "povertarian" mindset -- what about all the benefits connectivity brings to actual Cubans?
Definitely. But in general, the design of news aggregator sites is pretty minimalist which is so important as you don't want any disruptions.
I have the same idea, I like to use enums or flags. I don't need a separate table for it

It is inevitable. "We" have no right to deny anybody else the chance to develop the same way "we" did, if they so choose - which they will, inevitably, since "we" slap our wealth in their face every day. It's the same with pollution in China.

Maybe the answer is finding a way to reconnect networks and physical proximity, like having location-based chatrooms that are somehow automatically joined as you step into a room. This would let people keep control but also give everyone a chance to start conversations.
There is already a built in "immunotherapy" in every single human body out there - it's called fasting. A prolonged, 40-day water fast will do far more good to the body than chemotherapy or any other man made invention ever will.
Yep, it was decent, and I got a shout-out.
Doing this requires various security features that operating systems have gained since the 1980s to be turned off so it’s not super advisable if you can avoid it
Or maybe you were saying you want the Windows equivalent of this? The ability to make native windows apps from linux with ordinary tools?

I don't know what it is, but I thought we've had that for some time now....

> If I can move CPU to the frontend from the db, that's a win, because scaling database servers is harder than frontends.

This may only true for data manipulation that's necessarily [1] more CPU-intensive/bound than I/O-intensive.

It's difficult to imagine a situation where that would actually be true, however, in the context of a manipulation like a join.

Given how much faster CPU power has increase relative to I/O, over the entire history of computing, CPU on database servers has been progressively less of an issue.

This isn't to say that CPU power is infinite, and I've seen naive analyses attribute attribute performance problems to inadequate CPU power, even when it's an I/O issue masquerading as (system, not user) CPU time.

In that respect, it's hard to scale a database server, in that now-rare and undervalued-by-programmers Ops knowledge of things like hardware and I/O and offloading [2] but that difficulty doesn't actually go away by moving the data around in a partly-distributed or even fully distributed system. It just drives up the cost.

See also Amdahl's Law and the Fallacies of Distributed Computing (in particular the ones about bandwidth and latency).

[1] as opposed to merely as-implemented, such as due to PEBKAC, as a sibling comment points out

I needed a ssh server with some tweaks a few years ago. I must say that the dropbear code was very neatly written, easy to read and easy to understand. It made me to choose dropbear instead of openssh for my tweaks.

I would have used dropbear on my main machine as well, but it doesn't seem to support ~/.ssh/config
I was thinking that, for example, if there is a neat discussion going on about really detailed stuff in the paper (like one sharp peak in one of the figures or one value in a table), it can be really good resource for the reader of the paper as well. They can look around in the comments. Seperately, if they couldn't find it, they can just ask.
I wouldn't expect a reaction to that to happen publicly. I would be surprised if I saw those same security people invited here again... Generally, geopolitical things don't happen for one reason. We just attacked their currency. 3LA sponsored presidents would never be able act like this. Extraordinary times.
Thank you, this is what I've been trying to say.

It might be interesting if you can get the linux->darwin kernel and system library translation layer good enough that the binaries in the docker image are the macos programs, NOT qemu. But that's still far off, I think.

Letter to a Computer Science college fresher
Upper floor apartments were cheaper because they were meant for working-class people. The ground level and first floor were for shops and shopkeepers. The 2nd floor (that would be the 3rd flood in American terms) was the "noble" floor for rich people, with high ceilings and big balconies. The last floor under the roof was for housekeepers and cooks of the rich people below.

Obviously there were no elevators.
