I switched to DDG over a year ago. It works for my purposes. The only problem is they do not use Google maps so I have to switch when looking for directions.

For research though I switched to Yippy. Their business model is selling replacements for Google Search Appliance which is at EOL in a couple of months. So they can sustain themselves while providing a free search tool.
About time, all the Javascript I've ever seen has been completely uncivilized.
Apache Airflow seems like a really interesting project but I don't know anyone using that can give a real life pros/cons to it.

Anyone here dares to give some feedback in that sense?

Ps: Why do people still use Prezi? It gives me vertigo.
I've stumbled uppon it recently (significant active use was before my time) and I'm in love with its simplicity compared with modern formats. I was hoping for something to get me into the protocol as well.

The general advice at places like /r/datahoarder is to copy all data to a new medium every 10 years to "update" the storage interfaces and standards of the data.
Woah, I spent more time than I care to admit trying to find some feeds. I thought I had the secret sauce all figured out :) https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=itsokaytobesma... is much easier to use. I can think of a few channels where the play list thing will come in handy if it works. Gamers where I only want to see 1 out of 50 games they play and are who are orginized enough to keep seperate playlist is one example. You can't even do that with YouTubes own subscription method as far as I know.
Here in NC, the road test was maybe 10 minutes long, in very light traffic. No parallel parking.

The written portion of the test consisted of sign identification and a few very easy multiple choice questions.

I did this when I was 15. That as almost 20 years ago. Have never, and will never, need to do anything else.
Are you suggesting that a sick person, recovering from an operation, be responsible for researching prices on the parts that were used in surgery? Most do not have the time or expertise for that, nor would anyone want to do it.
Puffins are in trouble
It looks to me like we need to avoid looking at officially-stated reasons. They so seldom line up with the stated problem, nor do they solve that problem well, or without side-effects. I'd say to keep an eye on the obvious side effects: they may, in fact, be the reason for the solution-that-doesn't-really-work. I also believe that classical market economics under-appreciates the desire of managers/directors/etc for control. A link tax would allow those in charge of corporations to control the information they report, and to control the people that want to use that information.
Apparently, this was overseen by the Department of Home Affairs. The recently appointed PM of Australia (Scott Morrison) used to be the Minister for Home Affairs. His new appointment to the role (Peter Dutton) was one of the primary instigators in the recent power exchange (he actually wanted the top job for himself, but lost the party vote).

Considering the history of both of these men, I predict a grim history for Australia's privacy related laws. They're both staunchly pro-surveillance, anti-immigration (to the point of racism) and, I suspect, highly corrupt. I know that last statement is accusative, but Peter Dutton is currently embroiled in a situation where he released a French au pair and her partner from immigration detention because (allegedly) her prospective employer's second cousin lobbied the government to do so, and that family has donated large amounts of funds to the party. Meanwhile, others are held in sub-human conditions purely for trying to arrive in Australia as refugees, by boat. This situation is unfolding right now, but I doubt there will be any fallout.

Australia's current leadership was not voted in by the population of the country (as seems to be the trend for the last few years, no matter who you voted for), and seems to be set on an anti-privacy, liberty-destroying, nationalist agenda.

As an Australian, I'm incredibly embarrassed by all involved.

It’s not just “kids”, I am 35 and I see my peers posting images of themselves in their Calvin Kline underwear.

It is suggesting there are research that shows it is possible to have 20x times the density of current types, which tops at 15TB. But these research are like battery breakthrough, good in theory but not thought through in practice.

While we have a real roadmap, and a working solution of MAMR, much more so than the proposed HAMR from Seagate, that will scale us to 40TB per HDD by 2025, and may be more so given we don't really know the limits of MAMR yet, and we manage to put more platter inside a helium drives. Which I don't think is possible with HAMR, laser heating plate with helium filled drive has got to fun inside labs.

NAND Flash is also dropping in price, the current NAND spot price are already backed to 2016 price or may be even slightly lower. We have Fabs from Toshiba, Samsung and SK Hynix all coming online in 2019, all while 3D NAND are achieving better yields. The "Ruler" that Intel proposed has now standardises and becomes EDSFF, with up to 1PB storage in 1U. All current roadmap suggest we should hit 8PB or 16PB in 1U by 2025. In terms of 48 Drive in 4U server, HDD offers only 480TB per 1U by 2025. That is 16 to 32 times the density difference comparing to NAND.

In a system where information is stored in different drives like black blaze[1] , your reliability reaches a point ( I think, forgive me if I am wrong ) no different to those offered by Magnetic Type. What are the advantage left for using magnetic type? When cost, performance, space, reliability does no longer flavours them?

I often get frustrated and resort to tape, but although it seems better while I'm doing it, I remove the tape and invariably discover that it's hard to (or at least, I'm bad at) taping straight.
ddg.gg and ddg.co are both theirs, apparently.
I have 8 year old triplets. It's tough work, but very rewarding.

On the attractiveness front, I have a still very attractive wife that takes care of herself. I think a lot of your worries are in the selection of a partner. And of course, you must keep up your end of the bargain, so lead by example, stay fit. It's a partnership, after all.

At the time I met my wife, I was dating quite a bit and had many options, but she just clicked with me immediately. She was gorgeous, and a genuinely-compassionate person. We don't post lovey #YOLO posts to each other on Instagram. We argue a lot, that's fine, we work through it. We stay committed.

I guess my point here is that nothing comes easy. It takes nurturing and humility.

Sometimes, when I'm alone and introspecting and my thoughts venture a little dark, I ask myself if I could turn back time would I do it again, or would I stay a swinging bachelor? And so far, my answer has always been "Hell yes, I would do it again".
8TB harddrives don't have the long term durability of a tape. In a cold and dry room you can have your tapes sit for 3 decades and they'll work.

Harddrives usually last about 10 years without power at best before you loose significant amounts of data (you loose bits beforehand, don't worry).
I don't see a problem with him having (in my opinion) poorly thought out opinions. This is why we let teenagers post stuff on the internet but don't let teenagers vote. System is working as intended. Nothing to see here.
HDD need regular replacements if you want them to work in 30 years. It's cheaper than 400$/year, but not as much as you might think especially if you want to ensure 3 copies of each piece of data.
Again, I do believe that the system should be adjusted to encourage judges to give free pretrial release to poor people that they think will show up for court. I just think that judges shouldn’t be given broad new authority to arbitrarily incarcerate people that can post money bail along with that adjustment.

Something about this makes my skin crawl; conflating blossoming sentience with soulless machines. Children are banal and miraculous at the same time. The default human state was to create tiny humans without end until the advent of birth control 100(?) years ago. One thing that's remarkable to me was how divorced I came from children as an adult. I was 40 when we had our first and although I'd been around neices and nephews years earlier, I'd forgotten so much. After having a second, another remarkable thing is how different they are. The younger one does and says things the older one never would have.

Children aren't for everyone, and not everyone wants or can have them. But there is something distinctive they add to life.
We base our whole DS infrastructure on Airflow (and Superset):

http://bytepawn.com/fetchr-airflow.html

http://bytepawn.com/fetchr-data-science-infra.html

Airflow is somewhere between good enough and pretty cool, it's based on what we had at Facebook (called Dataswarm).

IMO in 2-3 years Airflow will be the de-facto ETL standard, like Hadoop used to be for "Big data". If you're rolling your own ETL at this point, you're wasting your time. If you're using something else, you're (probably) missing out on ETL-as-code goodness.
A conclusion like that seems very prone to data misinterpretation and bad methodology. Skimming the article I couldn't find any mention of the method used to reach the conclusion. Can anyone shed a light on the method used in the study?

Why would you conclude that all those MPs and Lords also live in London? Most likely they live somewhere much nicer and have a driver getting them to 'work' once a month.

*Once a month on the assumption that most sessions are only attended by a handful of MPs.

To be fair, it never really was. Mac and Linux were always after thoughts to Windows. Now things are trending towards Mac first, leaving Linux and Windows looking outside in.
I've learned to accept that social media is just a mixed bag. The easiest way to not get addicted to social media is to just pretend there is no such things as a quantifiable like button. Just pretend it doesn't exist. Just be yourself, do whatever you want, but at the same time still share cool things that happen regardless. For me, this is the following:

- Facebook/messenger is just for messenging convenience and facebook specific groups. I'll make a commitment to using it once a every 1-3 months to keep up with people, looking at friends profiles etc, liking every post when I use it to support other people, then waiting for the next cycle. I post once every 3 months at least to tell people I'm still in good health

- Instagram → dumping cool things I find or cool events I take part of, or things of general interest to me, photos with friends, etc.I'll scroll through every now and then when I'm bored

- Snapchat → don't care, I only message people that only use this

- Linkedin → don't care, once a week / month I'll look at it. Rather build meaningful conversations with people I care about.

- twitter → I just shitpost all my random ideas and things I learn, and cool youtube videos I like / companies I support

Really just know what value your getting out of social media. Steel yourself and don't let ego and envy get to you, just be happy for the other person.

Also, when you learn to accept there's no such thing as privacy, it removes a big cognitive burden. I don't care that instagram is scraping all my photos on my phone, I don't care what google is gathering data from me, things are so much easier when you just accept it for what it is.

I don't care how many people are looking at my profile or how many followers I have, how many likes, its shallow metrics. I care about qualitative things, not quantative.
1. No but you will have to prioritize which is exactly what is happening right now. That's a problem.

2. I agree so why question the Parents motives?

3. Not confused at all. Those are not gay rights they are human rights. You can replace the word gay with more or less anything and you will have the same. (Try read headed, try white, try black, try Swedish, try freckled, try fat). If you are a human you should have those rights no matter what you are and what you look like and what you believe.

4. The right thing to do is to be in favor of human rights. I see no reason why I should prioritize one thing over another. That's the very discrimination you seem to be advocating against.
How is this similar to:

When you're a telecom, and you have more than 40 million subscribers, a whiteboard may be a bit limiting.
I don't understand how a site like this really helps people find something that they're interested in, which has a good community, and is something that they would specifically want to be involved in. It just looks like data overload to me and it biases everything towards the ultra-large projects which for new contributors can be overwhelming (unless said project has a lot of effort in mentoring/on-boarding/etc).

I'm not sure how you would present the information on this site in a way which would better lead to quality interactions between newcomers and existing projects, but as it stands it comes off to me as a jumbled list.
I made basically the Chrome component of this in .NET a while ago to steal cookies for use in another application, it was scarily easy. Just decrypt the SQLite data with the current user session (there's WinAPI for this, and functions in .NET framework).

It took me at most 20 minutes to implement, while just for cookies, the passwords would be equally trivial.
Which IQ test? IQ as a number alone mean nothing, as you can't make a standardized test for it. And IQ number is a comparison (you calculate the standard deviation). Also, even in clinical tests, multiple scales can be used, and this mesure evolve. And there is no "single number", multple subjects are tested, and now we have another limitation: those tests don't mesure everything, or mesure thing that can evolve. I "scored" 123 on the weshler when i was 8 (or 9) with a really bad spatial visualisation score of 90 (89?). Since i'm now able to play blindchess or to chart a course on a marine map, either my spatial visualisation skills have improved, either people i know hide a lot. And i'm sure i would score way less on the other subjects too, looking back i was a pretty interesting kid, while now i'm an average adult.

I'm not saying it's useless, but to me it is way overvaluated by some people.
Maybe you can approximate intelligence with an IQ test, but the number itself is meaningless imho. The classification can be used though.
Censorship is a dangerous thing not because people should have their freedom to say terrible things, but because it leads to unintended consequences. Censorship have always been used against outcasts or lower class members in society. Blacks, gays, women, are all examples of groups that have had censorship used against them. The rules that allow us to shut up Nazis is the same rules that can be used to silence anyone. The rules aren't, and can't be, written as "no Nazis". Because it's too hard to define and enforce. Then you have to keep adding groups to the blacklist, and who isn't to say that a unlike group isn't going to be thrown in there and we regret that action years from now.

And do you really want Silicon Valley making that choice for you?
If I have to somehow manipulate an organic system to create feces in a way that an engineered system expects in order for the engineered system to work properly, then the engineered system expecting the feces doesn't appear to be designed well at all, and I wouldn't use it.

>Mixing software with politics never ends well in a democracy.

This is just so obviously absurd, in order to give you the benefit of the doubt, I need have to assume that you and I must have functionally different definitions of what "political" means

All software licenses and ToS are political. The GPLs clause about upholding the essential freedoms is political.

Enforcing age restrictions on porn websites is politics.

You can't really escape it.

In a plutocracy (the system in the United states) laws are created by those with power (corporations and their lobbyists). If citizens hold any potential power over these corporations to uphold the will of the people, it should be their civic duty to flex on the nerds throwing children in torture prisons.

If your main objection to this is that it might split the community of an open source project, might I remind you that this software is being used by the tyrants throwing children into torture prisons and tearing apart families for ever. This is worth getting into some OSS politics over.
This is exactly correct, and your objections apply at both a microeconomic and macroeconomic level. UBI almost certainly would create widespread and profound price distortions. Maybe a similar model would be what's happened with college tuition. The government set out to make it "affordable" for everyone with demand-side policies, and the supply side of the market responded by absorbing the additional spending capacity by raising tuition geometrically.

> complete freedom of capital to nudge the will of the people.

"Nudge" is far too weak of a verb, here. There are many structural issues between the population and exercising their will, and many structural advantages that allow capital to exert undue pressure on the political process. These advantages and dis-advantages are inherent to our system and have been described at length in academia.

I don't think of a book as delayed gratification because books don't take that long. Consider, you click on a link and get a video your first thought is "do I have time for this?"

Watching a MOOK's is a huge commitment where reading a book covering the same material is fast. Video brings great value and can be more relaxing, but reading is generally just faster.
I mean, Japanese society is like this everywhere and there are tons of services set up to make it easy for you.
