How we approach face recognition and law enforcement as ethically as we can
The rent you charge is for providing a domicile, I as a renter couldn't (and shouldn't) care whether this is enough to deal with repairs, especially since you as owner are certainly not repairing things every single month.

If the rent is more than the mortgage why would I rent? Beyond potential credit problems (which can generally be solved within a matter of months barring egregious exceptions) and maybe conveyancing and transfer fees (which can be negotiated into a mortgage loan), you'd have to be a fool to rent.

Just a note: this works on macOS, but isn't very useful. It only shows cpu base frequency and cpu activity, at least without sudo.
Atrocity in Africa by #BBCAfricaEye
I could be understanding the crux of your question wrong but I believe the point the article and technology makes over and over is that it offloads nearly all of the stress and communication off of the backend and instead replaces it with a Worker KV which converts into becoming one static call and then everything is handled within the Worker. The applications seemed vast and only limited by creativity, as well.

Driving entire animal spicies into extinction is a wrong.
Yep, look on eBay for sellers that specialize in refurbishing them. It's a great way to get something like an older Thinkpad for really cheap. Perfect for a Linux laptop that doesn't need the latest and greatest.
I find the programming that I do for work to be fun. I consider this one of the blessings of the career for me. Solving/reproducing bugs and deciphering other people’s code is intellectually stimulating similar to sudoku or crossword puzzles.

If I weren’t working such long hours currently, I could see myself creating a webpage or writing an app, or playing with arduino for fun. But as it is, I’m pretty much tapped at the end of the day. I don’t really have the mental energy (or solid blocks of time) to accomplish much of anything.

I could definitely see myself doing it if I were in a situation where I didn’t have to work. (If I won the lottery or I had a rich wife/parents or whatever).

I’ve been doing this for about 10 years.
Turnover at fast-food places is high, and very seasonal; high-school kids who have their first job.

My point was that working anywhere, even one that is on the level of 'my first job,' is better than ranting on the internet.
The fact that major media publications carry stories on gender in tech but not in nursing, teaching, etc (or at least very infrequently) is a pretty good indication that the issue in tech gets more promotion. And this shouldn't surprise anyone; women's issues in general enjoy quite a lot more promotion than men's issues (e.g., "wage gap" vs workplace fatality gap, breast cancer vs prostate cancer, sexual assault vs literally every other kind of assault, etc).
Are there any "open" ad-targeting platforms, where you get to see where and how your data is used?
Your quote says that 16% are in with drugs being their most serious crime.

48% include drugs as a crime, but 2/3 of them have a more serious crime as well.

So I'd say the parent is right that 16% are in for drugs and would be set free if drugs were legal. The others in that 48% wouldn't be.
The interesting part to me is that currency is indivisible past a certain point, so it actually makes sense to have something with more factors! Compare to distance or mass units, for example, where the sub-units are irrelevant. No problem having a distance of 1/7 foot, say, even though a foot has 12 inches in it. £(1/7), on the other hand, is impossible.

Since the divisibility argument is often trotted in defence of continued use of non-metric measurement systems, it seems odd it's more rarely used to defend non-decimal currencies, where it might actually be useful. Though the fact nobody uses meaningfully-non-decimal currencies any more is some evidence for arguing that this just isn't as useful as the convenience of the easy decimal numbers.

Still, however many currency sub-units you have, inflation makes the issue less pressing over time.
Well, as you increase your terminal's rows/columns, each character starts to approximate a pixel. The included screenshot is around 50 rows (double the "normal" ~80x24). Emoji and Unicode can probably stretch this further.

I'd love to see more quality terminal apps come out. I feel like the software (excepting, of course, the browser) I use is perfectly bifurcated into "terminal" and "webapp" domains. I just don't see to have much use for traditional GUIs anymore and even prefer locally hosted webapps to them.

Seems to be about once every 10 years. But it might be accelerating due to speed of technical innovation.

The most recent one has obviously been crypto. Whatever will be next is probably bubbling somewhere on a forum or subreddit with a few people who really believe in it, but most not really taking it seriously. The Paul Graham 'looks like a toy' [1] heuristic is a good one.

The chief requirement seems to be a small, organic but very intense group of people, with a long term view, who are unflinchingly sure that it - whatever it is - will work, eventually.

This seems to be as, if not more important than what the thing actually is.

For a somewhat deeper anthropological dive into this, although in a very accessible way, you might check out the book "cows, pigs, Wars, and witches". One of the case studies is a culture with a boom-bust cycle much like this.
With regards to image update management, personally what I wish to do for my Yocto image is to have it be:

- Small enough that it fits into RAM.

- Fetched over the network on boot, PXE-style.

- Configured to not write any files to the greatest extent possible, and where writing files can not be avoided one would use tmpfs.

With the above three criteria satisfied, the following is achieved:

a) We never write to an SD card so we avoid SD card corruption issues.

b) Since the whole system image is sitting in RAM, we could do without NFS, Samba or similar either.

We do need to persist some data, but that data is coming from our application and is going to be stored in a database on a server on the local network.

I am currently working on developing the application that our image will run, but I have dug up some preliminary information relating to what I said above:

- Read-only Raspberry Pi [1]. Applies to Raspbian but certainly provides a starting point for doing the same thing with Yocto.

- Poky NFS Root [2]. Like I said, I don't need the NFS root part if the image can fit in RAM, but the portions that deal with gPXE might certainly be relevant.

- The State of Netbooting Raspberry Pis (December 2017) [3]. "Net-booting works well on the Raspberry Pi B Model 3 without an SD Card." So actually we won't be needing gPXE.

- Network Boot Your Raspberry Pi [4]. Referenced by [3] and provides the steps needed to configure Raspberry Pi 3 for network booting without an SD-card.

I am not completely decided upon whether or not to avoid NFS yet though. Because we never persist any files on the root file system anyway, serving said fs over NFS can be done in read-only mode, and we would put each revision of the corresponding root file system in a uniquely named top-level directory so that a client running the current version image has one place that it gets the files it expects from and the next version of the image which might expect other files or differing layout would get its files from another directory. Old root file system directories which are no longer in use would be removed so this scheme doesn't require much in terms of storage space.

It should be noted that NFS has some security issues [5], but our deployment is going to be running on an isolated network exclusive to the hardware that we are providing, so this concern is already resolved. Said isolated network will connect our embedded Raspberry Pis, a server (TFTP, database and NFS), and a tablet configured and provided by us. The tablet provides a graphical user interface that our customers will use to interact with the system.

The news media attempt at gaslighting readers to trust their authority.

We need a decentralized information verification system. The old centralized methods are not working at our current scale.
You'd still need some identifier, ie: a cookie, to link the KV store and your session.
We're seeing test scores drop. I'd reserve all other judgement.

There are tons of other dubious and dire socioeconomic "firsts" for this generation that would affect such scores. Sugar packed, nutritionally light, chemically flavored foodstuffs. Totally-Not-poverty. 60 hour work weeks across multiple jobs...
I'm getting near the end of the half-pound of Mexican vanilla I bought just before prices went totally nuts (that packet of beans cost me $55). Not sure what I'm going to do when I run out.

One factor not mentioned in the article is the increased demand from industrial users. Food processors having been trying to replace artificial flavors with natural, and there isn't enough vanilla to go around. Global production is actually quite small, compared to say coffee or chocolate. And it seems unnecessary. Synthetic vanillin is identical to real vanillin. Admittedly, it lacks the additional secondary flavor chemicals that make real vanilla tastier, but does that really matter to Jell-O pudding?
Do you realize that Linus most likely took a break because of this, and you talk about basic human decency? How about supporting the work of intellectual giants, and not worrying so much when their communication style doesn't match your cookie-cutter ideals of what communication should be?

How about not taking the term I used, "PC culture", and using it to passive aggressively disparage me as someone petulant who frame everything in terms of "sjw's"? (the term "sjw" in quotes although I never wrote that, but assuredly, this is how you believe I think.)

Yes, gamer gate settled down, because the media couldn't keep a controversy going and generate clicks forever. But this is not what I'm talking about. It's people like me, other developers, and now the developers of the linux kernel as well speaking up and trying to reign in this insanity, which you seem blind to.

Yea, so I don't believe that your conclusion that this is just a flash in the pan, and will be forgotten in the historical context, is correct, but instead just further evidence that the pot is starting to boil, and will eventually be the beginning of actual correction to this high-handed bullshit that we have been fed from those supporting crap like this CoC.
I definitely have not found updates on GKE to be easy, even though all it takes to trigger it is clicking a button.

Each one I’ve done on our cluster over the past couple of years has caused something to break, often in a strange and obscure manner.

One time an automatic master upgrade happened at 9pm and effectively sent all of our logs into a black hole for reasons unknown. As with many of the other upgrade hiccups, I just had to poke, prod, delete and recreate entities and things magically started working again.

There is so much going on under the hood it makes sense that there would be issues with upgrades, so the frequency of the releases is frustrating. Dealing with after hours alarms just because the k8s release cycle is so aggressive really grinds my gears. I would fully support an LTS version.
>The lesson from this and other studies of discrimination is that withholding irrelevant information can enhance judgment.

Most modern news are irrelevant information. You can take almost any article and reduce it to a single paragraph without loosing informative, factual content. So why are we pushed to read the rest?
Oh, it's the readers that are at fault...not the media themselves. This is like blaming the human condition without realizing said condition also applies to you.

We are all biased. All of us. We are all tribal neanderthals with a thin sense of bias, period. As quickly as old biases are torn down, humans will erect new biases and causes to rally around.

It will always be a battle of in-group vs. out-group from now to the end of time. Not saying bias itself isn't worth fighting. Maybe we can minimize bias.

In my experience, the only way to minimize bias, is to discuss, debate, and digest a wide variety of views.

My main problem with discourse today is that the very mechanism for breaking down bias (debate and discussion) has broken down. You can't debate things anymore without being labelled something atrocious.
Life finds a way :-P
I bought my home through Redfin and I was pretty happy with it. I can also definitely see the appeal of OpenDeal's model of buying your house and then reselling it; it's like the house version of a dealership trade-in. You may not be getting the best deal but you're skipping the hassle.

Certainly, and I do agree with most of the article. But the instances where lambdas are better replaced with an ordinary function don't use a different programming paradigm. My observation was about how different communities consider different paradigms idiomatic in situations where you get to choose.
The Australian Real Estate Collapse
There are a fair number of things that many people are probably OK with giving some general parameters and approving a purchase and have someone else take care of all the logistical details.

The bigger issue is that I'm not really willing to pay someone what it costs to e.g. take my car in for state inspection, run my errands, etc. I do have some services for things like getting my lawn cut but it's harder/more expensive to get someone to handle unscheduled one-off things.
> Each represents 15kUSD in gross profit (according to Munro).

I was with you on every part but this. It is better to use the company's SEC filings than the Munro report for estimating cash flow per vehicle.
This is a common pattern that companies follow; make a good product now, make money later. Many products become crappy and companies go sour when they turn this corner.
Kind of. Why wouldn't they?
Huh strange that it went straight to banning checking without an innocent until proven guilty standard. I know I have seen plenty of websites for career related where asking if you were convicted had yes, no, or resident of certain states as an effective N/A along with either telling you to select N/A regardless of personal status or flat out forbidding answering if from such a state.
> My main problem with discourse today

> You can't debate things anymore

I can't stop hearing this "it used not to be like this". Does this erroneous argument has a name?
Anthony Burgess somewhere or other pointed out the superior divisibility of the old English system: 3,2, and 5 as prime factors for the pound, 3, 2, and 7 for the guinea.
Yes, and you are exposed to myriads of risks that tenant isn't either - property market crash, tons of possible environmental disasters, issues with plumbings, fires, damage done to property, gradual degradation of, well everything.

A property investment, like any investment asset, is a bundle of risks as well as rewards. Yes, you as the owner take on the risk of things like market crashes, insurance and repairs but you also own an expensive asset which you can sell at any time (a renter cannot). You need to deal with the risks and rewards of a property like you would any other asset.
isn't there supposed to be javascript results?
> In the mid-1980s, just as the Aids crisis peaked and US scientists discovered the virus that caused the disease was borne by blood, American drug companies knowingly sold HIV-tainted blood products in Asia.

It wasn't just an American company, there were actually two companies, Bayer (German) and Baxter (American). Baxter have a history of very shady things, I'm surprised they're around. I wish the author cite the quote or more clear on that part.

Maybe I am just being cynical but I feel like a decentralized information verification system would be a prime target for abuse. Would a majority opinion just become indisputable truth?

I am basing my idea of this off of a blockchain based approach but I am not sure if that is what you are referencing.
I've often thought, base 12 would have made a much better counting system.

As a big company, they pay their processor(s) far less than you or I pay Stripe or Ayden.

For the marketing dynamite of being the only $8.03 "at-cost" registrar, they are going to take a payment processing hit of around ten to fifteen cents per domain. They could shift that cost to the price, but then they would lose those invaluable bragging rights.

The point is not that customers save a few cents, but the absolute transparency of paying exactly the registry cost + the ICANN tax. The simple math of $7.85 + 18 cents implicitly suggests that you are dealing with an utterly fair company: not a penny more, not a penny less. $8.03 will gain the attention of the big companies they want to attract in a way that $8.13, $8.18 or $8.20 never could. In this context, $8.03 is actually a far more powerful price than $8.

There are plenty of other costs associated with running a registrar, not just payment processing fees, but the whole thing is intended as a loss-leader to attract new users and coax their existing, non-paying users into a paying relationship. From there, with a credit card on file, it becomes far easier to sell them higher-margin services.

It will also deepen their relationship with their existing paying users, making it a lot harder for competitors (present or future) to lure them away.

When you consider the cost of customer acquisition through normal marketing channels, positioning themselves as the only "at-cost" registrar is a stroke of genius. Reminiscent of Apple disrupting the phone business, Cloudflare have chosen to disrupt a particularly messy, flaky industry that no customer loves. If they manage to pull this off at the $8.03 price, it will catapult Cloudflare to a whole new level.

Who's "they"? This article seems to mostly be about OpenDoor offering to buy homes not in need of major repair and turn around and sell them in 90 days, all while collecting smaller-percentage fees that traditional sellers would. I'm not sure this model is as crazy as you're making it sound.

> “The vast majority of investors who hear about it initially think it’s a bad idea,” said Stephen Kim, an analyst at Evercore ISI, a market research company. But the skepticism often fades as they realize Opendoor makes money by providing a service to home sellers, rather than on price appreciation, Mr. Kim said. Even if the company breaks even on a sale, the transaction fees are a meaningful business.
I worry if this focus on "bias" is distracting us from the more important question of reliability. Is an article that gives equal time to pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine arguments "unbiased"?

This is much harder to measure because it involves looking at news outlets retrospectively over time. A newspaper that accurately reports what bad sources have said may not be "biased" but can make the public significantly more misinformed.
Replying to your specific examples, I would say `storyboard!.foo` and `viewController.navigationController!` (when you know the view controller is in a navigation controller) is the correct thing to do. And if your assumptions are false that is going cause a trap at runtime, and you will get your crash report.

All the existing Apple frameworks where originally designed for Objective-C, and if redesigned with Swifts type system they could have a much safer API.
But what are you suggesting Apple should do? Throwing thousands of man years of their own and third party developers code away, and ask everyone to start from a clean state?
I prefer the current approach where, while the Swift language and tooling is maturing, Swift acts as an incremental improvement over Objective-C.

I should also add that if you avoid putting too much of your code in your views (networking, data storage ...) then you can put those components in embedded frameworks that can have a nice safe Swift API.

Depending what's available. At my job, if I forget my lunch, my only option is driving to a fast-food joint. If my employer offered snacks (some healthy, some not), I'd likely end up healthier.

Something like 1.3% of US exports are blood and blood products.

Plasma is an industry there.

Meanwhile, in Canada, we’re steadfast against paid donations. But the volunteer model doesn’t generate enough blood products, so we have to import from the US too.

Edit: I had said 3%, but it’s 1.3%. Still a lot in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not sure I understand your example. Emacs integrates, it doesn't need to be integrated. It also has the best git interface I have ever seen (magit).

In a certain sense a subclass of Emacs users are the makers since it is a traditional Free Software model not backed by a major corporation. But that can be seen as an advantage since there is no single point of failure, and if GNU doesn't do a good job it can be forked, and has in the past (remember XEmacs?).

Practically speaking, the major disadvantage of Emacs is poor asynchronous/ multithreaded support. That's not an easy problem to solve but I do think it will get better eventually, and I don't find it a major impediment in day-to-day use.
