You don't have to file state income tax in Seattle and the housing market is less zany. A lot of people are fleeing SF for Seattle.

SF is beautiful and the weather is better. It seems to be An Experience.

Many years ago, I lived 45 miles from SF and I spent some time wishing I could live there. It's an incredible city.

It was unaffordable then and it's only gotten worse. But both cities have serious homeless problems. That is not peculiar to SF.

I guess it depends in part on how much you want An Experience and how much you want a relatively sane lifestyle. If you can afford it, I think the Bay Area is amazing. I'm glad I lived there and a little sad that moving to SF was not possible. But I'm currently in Washington and my life works vastly better here. So I'm getting over those feelings.
In 1998 sites might looks bad but at least user can still read the content. In 2018, some sites just refuses to work for anything but Google Chrome.
But is it really critical to make chores feel fun for the kids?

By definition, chores are routine tasks, and it's natural for kids and adults to feel them as "not fun". I believe it's important to make kids realize that for the household to run successfully, we have to do them despite them being "not fun".

Portland is definitely somewhere I’ve been thinking. Schools seem to be an issue in a lot of neighborhoods except Lake Oswego. Anywhere closer to the city know for good schools?

Also what’s your favorite companies of those 4K openings I should look into?
Yes, but here having a small code is a necessity since we can't have a too big final executable on a website. I am actually still thinking we could make it even smaller.
Red Hat, Citrix, Cisco, Epic (Fortnite), SAS, Microsoft, Glaxo-Smith-Kline, a bunch of smaller startups/companies, etc.

I moved down here 5 years ago (from Buffalo, NY) but I work remotely for a non-local company.

As far as neighborhoods good, we're happy in Holly Springs, Apex is north of us, and Fuquay-Varina is just to the south. Cary is by far the most desirable area due to it's proximity to RTP. We decided we wanted more house/backyard than we could afford in Cary and so we settled in Holly Springs. If I had to work in RTP I'd hop on the 540 (toll road) and be there in 30 minutes.
it's impossible to keep all thoughts from your mind.
meditation is having focus on an anchor like breathing so you are aware of the thoughts that occur.
im not saying there's a wrong way to meditate, i just don't want people suffering to try the impossible and feel they have failed.
being aware you are lost in thought is a huge success.
Many years ago at Georgia Tech, a student noticed that the network controlling the magnetic ID card-controlled doors was trivially controllable. He scheduled a talk about it at a local hacker conference, and what followed was the company that installed the system, Blackboard Inc, filed cease and desists and a lawsuit alleging violations of the DMCA, theft of trade secrets, violations the Espionage and Sedition Act, and presumably maritime piracy.

Do amazon really even validate the address to the card owner? I've sent stuff to different locations in different names using the same card.

I've heard poker and gaming sites are popular to extract funds (and simultaneously launder them), don't expect them to have much security no.

> considering that you have to be pretty close for NFC to work, whoever is doing it is going to look pretty suspicious as he's bumping into everyone walking endlessly through the train.

Seriously? Just go during rush hour and you can basically stand still, the victims will practically bump into you for you. I don't expect anyone to attempt sprinting a carriage at a time...
So essentially you're saying that in a real shooting war, carriers are useless. Isn't that essentially what all these carrier criticisms are saying as well?

If all they're good for anyway is bombing 3rd world countries into submission, hey, just buy a mothballed supertanker, pave it over and load it up with cheap turboprop planes carrying bombs. Equally good for bombing people armed with AK-47's and RPG's, and you'd save billions! :)

And the defensive capability is ultimately the same as a $$$ supercarrier, if the buck in any case stops with "if you touch these, we'll answer with nukes".
Thanks for information from a geoviz perspective!!

In the accompanying demo app (example/geo-viewer), we are using LeafletJS for the terrain area selection UI and also for displaying a moving camera (which can also be regarded as a drone ;)) in the global geo coordinate system. We found Leaflet is so valuable.

Really excited to know about OpenLayers. We plan to spin off example/geo-viewer as the base of a new standalone 3D GIS app (which is also OSS). In this new app, we want to implement/accumulate common GIS features and push the limit of browser-based GIS applications. OpenLayers seems perfect for an abstraction module for tile fetching, layer interactions, etc. It looks so matured and supporting so many tile layer service providers.
Oh, I can totally see why someone with zero understanding of how credit card fraud works would attempt and get caught doing this.

They simply wouldn't achieve anything. They wouldn't get enough cards to be able to sell them, nor would they be able to cash out this information.

I'm sure there is zero overlap between people doing this and people actually profiting from (or causing losses with) credit card fraud.

If they actually knew what to do with such information, they'd just be buying it for a couple of dollars a piece.
Which is almost all revenue that Google has to share with YT publishers. 50% anyway.

This is one of the things I rather like about Scala. It still leaves suitable room for the programmer to decide "that doesn't count", and defer deciding what does / does not count until after they have their application sketched out.

Your "pure" function can become "pure except for logging", "pure except for analytics calls", "pure except for notifications", or whatever you decide.
Intact Solutions | Automated Finite Element Analysis | Multiple Positions | Berkeley CA or Madison WI

We're building fully-automated finite element analysis for the web. Think of it like continuous integration, but for mechanical engineers. We're looking for software engineers with interest in computational geometry, computational physics/engineering, and building elegant user experiences for complicated technical software.

We are a spinoff of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and much of our technical hurdles are in turning novel research ideas into production code. To that end, we're looking to hire for three roles:

- Research Scientist/Engineer
- C++ Engineer
- Javascript/WebGL Engineer

True, never really thought about that software tech really is in every industry. Do you do that and is it fulfilling?
As the article says, it's a much broader problem. Maybe the title ought to be "Software House security devices compromised by Google employee".
Except it is my business. The whole free market and negotiations for better salaries thing relies on participants having enough information.

See, it's a prisoner's dilemma type of deal (actually, it's a different game). I offer cooperation - you can either decide to deny it (by keeping your salary private) or cooperate also (by stating your salary back). If you decide to reciprocate useful information, then we might cooperate more in the future for mutual benefit.

So it's useful information whether you want to get into coalition with me. I don't care the same way about your health or your porn.
Apple isn’t selling low margin products and while its stores are very profitable, it has never been solely focused on profit and loss. It is almost a marketing tool.

Tim Cook fired one chief of retail store operations within six months after he realized that the guy didn’t get that.
Those drones will swarm in with volumes. CIWS may be effective taking out dozens of them but what if the came in hundreds or thousands?

> the best unclassified study we have suggests that if eight small drones attack an Aegis-equipped destroyer - which has various AA missiles as well as Phalanx - it would get about five of them. However, this is crucially dependent on the exact speed, size and stealthiness of the drones involved
> https://calhoun.nps.edu/handle/10945/28669

CIWS need to find a way to scale. Maybe a grid?
I've seen Los Angeles being called 'silicon beach' (around Venice and Santa Monica) and I've read that the Midwest (Omaha I think) is being referred to as 'silicon prairie'.
swarms of drones relay each other.
Where I work it started like this: every "component" had some source in a directory and a couple of simple scripts: build.sh and test.sh.

Then, when we wanted to run them in parallel we just used the parallel Jenkins pipeline statement, so that every step had its own captured output stream (and distinct build statuses too).

This was a slippery slope: now more and more build orchestration complexity moved to groovy code, but fixing that is not obvious because with very long builds seeing which one failed and which not is very useful, and fighting groovy code happens relatively infrequently.

How can I follow your rule of thumb and still let Jenkins capture (possibly in real time) the output and status of work units it doesn't describe and spawn itself?
I thought the same about those until I tried to follow the examples. First in ruby and then in Vue, neither worked without a lot of hacking/changes. Really cool idea though to put the credentials in the examples.
I can vouch for this, I sometimes imagine my mind's eye have hand and use those to push thoughts away
It's easy to get annoyed by the aggression and the overall tone of the speaker, this happened to me as well.

However, when I look at what he is saying objectively, he is suggesting quite the opposite from what the tone implies. A good sales person is a great listener, one that doesn't make you feel like the way you described. Overall, I love the series because of what I learnt from it, on viewing it objectively.
Landscape? That's just dummy data, right?

Can I set the timezone? Or can it be inferred from the location? The location is properly detected ...
Salesforce Alternatives – Why the Top CRM May Not Be for You

Anyone live in the Midwest and can chime in on their experiences?
Ah, the web assembly target is for performance? I'm curious about the process of getting from 'let's put Stellarium on the web' to 'we're going to do a clean, pruned rewrite in C and spit out web assembly'. Like, did you sit around and think deep thoughts about various options? Or did someone look at web assembly and think 'huh, webassembly might be a neat way to port Stellarium to the web'.
Tracing Your GRPC (Go) Services with Jaeger on Kubernetes
More often, you do have a use case, you just don't quite know what it is yet.
It's really that difficult to use KeePass? It's offline, cross-platform, with password generation, secure session for entering the master password, could type passwords without using the clipboard and if you want to sync you can save the encrypted db on dropbox, git or wherever yout want.

The only problem I see is when I need a password but I can't access database, which is almost never since Keepass has a port for Android. But in those (few) cases I can write down a few notes which I can use to create a not easy to guess password for that specific use case.
Thanks for posting this! Glad to know people are interested in this idea as well. I started this not too long ago so don't expect something like a text DAW just yet, although that's the eventual goal. There's a trello board link in the readme if anyone is interested in where the project is headed.

Hmmm...
The weapons producers are where a huge amount of the money goes. From outside, it seems like policy is plenty often decided by what is best for the factory in some influential congressperson’s district (or perhaps to some influential congressperson’s key donor CEOs).
What you mention is similar to yoga nidra. I found this helpful when I want to meditate and relax. All you need to do is to lie down (or sit in the office), close your eyes and listen to the voice' instructions. I feel very refreshed after but sometimes I fell asleep when tired.

Ten Things They Didn't Tell You at Freshman Orientation
They miss out the dogma way of life. What an opportunity. Yes, they will cry if you don't offer them the last Supreme apparel. The latest American-made-in-china smartphone. But you're not forced to educate your kids like most american does. In France we have a word for that "enfant roi" (king kid). Books offer you tools to think. TV, latest trends and twitch give you tools to boost your never-ending growth ego, self-esteem, self-approval, instant flood of dopamine gratification, and all this bullshit american psycho concepts.
Thanks! Actually, we initially started this project with a GPX data visualization app in mind. Open Street Map achieves this well in 2D maps, and we are very interested in a 3D version.

As you can try in the example/geo-viewer, manual 3D line marking is already supported. Soon, we definitely want to add the GPX data loading/displaying feature useful to hikers, mountaineers, drone users, etc.
I somewhat agree, but there are still good ASMRtists out there. My favorite at the moment is ASMRMagic
( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHrKd8ElaVdk7OBQAgx8JrQ ). She doesn't wear distracting skimpy clothing, she does lots of non-whisper/no-talking videos, and she is very creative in finding lots of nice sounds for her videos. One of my new favorites is where she puts an umbrella around a TASCAM and sprays it with water from a water bottle.

I wish it wasn't such a gendered space, but I just really can't find many dudes doing it well. The couple that are decent that I've found do mostly whisper videos.

When you're not even watching and the person isn't talking/whispering, that aspect of it kind of melts away anyway, and it just turns into pure prop-based soundscape crafting.
> Why would we gut policies that save thousands of lives and eliminate tens of thousands of cases of childhood asthma, bronchitis and emphysema annually? Why wouldn’t we want more efficient cars when we’re still importing three million barrels of oil a day from OPEC countries like Libya, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela?

Countless articles like this ask the same kind of questions over and over again. Leaving the reader to ponder the answers to them.

I'll answer here: People in power earn their money that way.
How are they not? They both said truly terrible, almost unspeakable things. What makes them not equivalent?
The power of the shortest of naps to completely reset the body's pursuit of sleep in deprivation scenarios never fails to impress me. Even just a few seconds seems to make a tremendous difference, as if it's clearing a "need sleep" bit simply by falling asleep even if momentarily.
>Do amazon really even validate the address to the card owner? I've sent stuff to different locations in different names using the same card.

For initial orders, yes. Amazon has a very advanced fraud detection system that builds up trust with your account over a while.

Amazon is very difficult to card.

>I've heard poker and gaming sites are popular to extract funds (and simultaneously launder them), don't expect them to have much security no.

All of those will require you to pass VBV. You will not get the information necessary to pass VBV without phishing.
Certainly not new. I learned this technique from a self hypnosis book in the early 1980s. It does work. My mental recitation is "One. One. One. One…" I used to use this for naps but found I wasn't as rested than natural sleep for a quick nap. I now use it only when I need a full night's sleep. The quality of sleep doesn't seem to be affected for full nights the way it was for naps.
I’m in love. I’d pay for this. Thank you.

Very nice work; I've enjoyed using Stellarium several times, in night mode, to find various stars and planets in the sky, and it's wonderful to see a web version now.

I'm curious about something: on your Github project, you mention using a CLA, but it sounds like the only reason you're using it is to ensure provenance and irrevocability of contributions. Given that, have you considered using something like the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO, AKA "Signed-off-by"), which has built-in support in Git and much broader acceptance in the FOSS community?
Forest Heights has good schools, is affordable (by Bay Area standards at least) and is a short drive to downtown, 10-25 minutes depending on where and what time of day.
It seems that Google employees have nothing to do so they just play around trying to hack stuff around the office. Obviously it took a lot of time to research this.

It's disturbing to think how much they get paid to do nothing.
Ultimately it will be "the people" (via the government) that end up paying for the proper decommissioning of a project anyway; so it makes sense for that cost to be paid in to a resource pool at that level where at least if the funds are raided "we did it to our selves".
As an aside, that was a startling hire in the first place. Curry’s electronics stores, at the time, were the polar opposite of the Apple Store experience.
I think the biggest question is how long do you want to commute? If you are willing to do the 70-90m daily commute then their are plenty of areas on central nj and pa that are commutable to NYC.

and 300k a year will buy you a large homestead in those areas.
It's not clear if this was a scheduled vendor security review or if Tomaschik just looked into it out of personal interest. Google has done a lot of the former, for many years, even for physical security. The reports can be brutal. Think of Tavis Ormandy and his AV research, perhaps crazier. I remember a couple that were particularly bad and made me rethink everything I ever assumed about "security" systems.
Seattle should be okay if you already have a partner. Everywhere is growing insanely, but there's still affordable property out there (e.g. north) if you don't mind an awful commute, or are willing to do park & ride/public transport. With the growth rate, those communities will become really lively/ruined, too (depends on your PoV).

Could be worth waiting until HQ2 is announced though. Families won't necessarily be interested moving, but there's enough people around who'll make the jump, which maybe helps with prices? Who knows.
> Just look how long it took to finally get rid of battleships.

The last time the US Navy built a battleship was in 1941. It was decommissioned in 1958 - the last of its kind. If you take World War II as the proof that carriers had eclipsed battleships, that doesn't seem like long at all.

The battleships were recomissioned in the '80s by Reagan as a bizarre act of cold war willy-waving. And once you've paid the money to get them working and put some missiles on them, you might as well keep using them until they fall apart.
What was interesting to me was...

- Google removed BeyondPod based on problem reports from users of other Android Auto apps

- Google removed BeyondPod without having to update Android Auto or BeyndPod. I assume it was a server side change

- Google says they reached out to BeyondPod with no response

- Users were not notified either from Google or BeyondPod of the removal

- The removal exposed a Google bug where an empty 'Google' label appeared
Also interesting how even NoSQL (non relational) Data stores are embracing SQL or some subset or flavouring of it.
You are right, and I think that his argument about increased offline privacy is completely valid. But what I meant in my initial comment, is that now if I start a new personal document on Google Docs, or if I upload an existing .doc file into Dropbox, I have no control over who, when and for what purpose will access it without my explicit permission. It doesn't necessarily have to be a government agency, whose requests for data don't even require judge's approval in the US[1]. It can even be a machine learning algorithm building a profile on me.

Imagine people in low paying jobs who dont have the means to pay - there should be stellar free resources like this for them to grasp things with a solid enough foundation to get onto more complex projects.

Free is great.
Yeah it's not great. Better off moving to Melbourne, AU if you want the laid-back life-style, more job opportunities. House prices aren't cheaper, but you get way more bang for buck especially renting, and the salary is much better (2-3x in some cases, but keep in mind the top tax bracket is much higher).
They clearly aren't equivalent. What specific people were harmed by Jeong's speech? Were you specifically upset by Jeong's speech? Yes?

Ok, now imagine your child has been shot and then someone says you're a liar, and that since their death people keep showing up at your house and church calling you a liar. Do you think you'd be more or less upset by this?
The key take away I found is really not about margin but experience. If you lack true differentiation you will die a quick death in retail (this is more true of brick and mortar outlets thanks to internet competition being incredibly fierce)

High or low
Margin is almost irrelevant to the point: if you’re a commodity trying to sell as a non commodity you will fail.

Quick observation: a lot if not most businesses tend to be commodities (e.g. they lack real differentiation from their competitors)
The Wayland compositor does that kind of task, not the DE/WM like with X. That's why porting to Wayland isn't trivial. The server has many less lines of code leading to a lower attack surface, and lower latency or less tearing, and better HiDPI functionality.
