I don't have a specific recommendation, but suggest you don't try to combine the paper and digital requirements.

Look for UL fire endurance ratings. UL rates them on time and temperature. Edit: I've seen ratings up to 3 hours, but the longer the time, the bulkier and heavier for the same storage volume.

For paper, you'd want something rated to stay below 350 degrees for at least an hour. That's not hard to find even in large sizes. I ended up with a used FireKing 4 drawer file cabinet from a company liquidation sale. Edit: Built like a tank, holds a lot, uses a Medeco key, weighs a couple hundred pounds empty.

For digital, you need something rated to stay below 125 degrees. That's pretty hard to find, and usually only in very small boxes. Unfortunately, some companies (looking at you, Sentry) like to advertise "digital media" boxes which are not rated for 125 when you read the fine print. Not sure how they get away with that. :(

I eventually found a small Sentry chest rated for 125 degrees for 30 minutes. Holds a couple hard drives and some DVDs. Sadly, do not recall the model number. Edit: Storage volume is maybe 5"x5"x8", walls are all 3-4" thick.
Why don't you post the rest of the quote as well?

> I think judgment matters. If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines -- including Google -- do retain this information for some time and it's important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act and it is possible that all that information could be made available to the authorities.

Kinda changes the whole context from "secrets are for bad people" to "you shouldn't use Google with anything really secret, because government".

I'm really dismayed that a lot of good people and orgs keep misrepresenting this quote for many years by cutting it out of the context. This doesn't mean that Google is automatically your friend, btw.

Honestly, I find Maven more intuitive. Gradle is too flexible, you can have dozens of way to perform one task. With maven, you often search for one plugin that does what you want and stick with that. Of course, if there's no existing plugin that fit you, then it gets much more complicated, but that case is usually rare due to maven's massive number of plugins.

I had uninstalled Apple Maps [1] from my iPhone after iOS 11 upgrade because it was useless. Apple put it back with iOS 12 upgrade and I have kept it around so far. It is still useless here in India [1]. Often I sadly have no alternative to Google apps. I have tried at least a dozen apps (online/offline) and nothing even comes close to Google Maps.

Of course other features like News etc are not even shown on the app except in some countries while the price of the device remains the same (or more after taxes). I think I am being too harsh. They can do only so much with the resources they have :-)

[1] Apparently they use TomTom for map data in India (and elsewhere too?).

Circa-2000 I was in my final year of university and working as a Windows service desk monkey in the SysAdmin team of a Sydney-based company that developed a platform for hosting (legitimate, regulated) gambling websites.

Sun Microsystems happened to be across the road from us. My mind was blown the first time I saw the value of the invoices for servers and Solaris licenses that we bought both for ourselves and on behalf of our customers. That's where a lot of those dotcom-era "investment" dollars ended up - at Sun.

One day we needed a router + firewall for some internal service. One of the Unix sysadmins in the team grabbed a spare i386 desktop PC, stuck a 2nd NIC in it, installed Slackware Linux and configured ipchains. Job done: no budget, no managerial approval, no licenses, nothing. I couldn't believe it.

I asked him about Linux and after learning more came to the conclusion that it could basically do most things that Solaris could do but was 1) free and 2) ran on cheap, commodity hardware.

That was the writing on the wall for me. I taught myself Linux and pretty soon had my first bona-fide Linux Sysadmin job. Linux went on to become the OS that runs the world and I've never struggled to find relatively interesting, well-paid work since then.
Nah, not sure it really stuck. Both times I saw it they were more interested in being 'technically right' rather than see the trust between companies that they were destroying.

It's interesting because in that environment building trust was sometimes more useful then being the best GPU/perf engineer. I had developed a reputation of not reaching out to the support teams unless it was a problem that I characterized pretty well. I'd uncovered enough driver bugs with one vendor that I was given personal contact info of senior engineers on the vendor's side and told to reach out to them directly in case of any further issues.

That meant I could skip 3-4 levels of support and cut out ~1.5 weeks of back and forth verification of issues. As such I was able to close on actual critical perf/functionality problems much faster than just about anyone else.

Much like you should treat your IT/support staff with a ton of respect(because they never get a shoutout when things go right and always get thrown under the bus when things go wrong), showing you that respect people's time and only raise issues with in depth repros goes a long way. I'd much rather have a collaborative environment like that then resulting to escalating through your account rep/director/vp. Both gets the job done but one will have the other team dragging their feet every step of the way.
Nope. I'm not the Retina Mac person. I'm gonna guess a lot of sites make the system busy with scripts, they all post 100+% CPU loads, fans go on, system gets warm - just to load them. Every once in a while the go nuts well after loading and I'll see a Web Content process over 100% and just stay there but I don't know which tab is causing the problem, so I usually end up killing the whole browser.
They're both ran by Apple, so that's a distinction without a difference.
The big issue preventing me from using something like OsmAnd is my need for real-time traffic. Generally, I can figure out where a place is with only the address since the N-S streets in my city are numbered and the first digits of an address on a cross-street corresponds to the numbered Avenues. Traffic, OTOH, can easily vary by 30 minutes on a 15 mile trip day to day even without any crashes along the route.

Is there an open, or at least more private, app that can give me accurate traffic data?
Yup, that is a risk. I had an issue once where the person transcribed the wrong bug ID in a comment above a piece of code that appeared as though it was meaningless. I was able to catch the error and put the correct bug ID in and a more assertive comment describing why the code was needed.

Long story short, always comment weird shit and use the correct bug ID.
My favorite part has been them pretending they no longer store your address, but when search results on the web places a pin they somehow manage to suggest it's an "x minute drive" from home... Which is it Google? Do you have the address saved or not? You forget where my address is only when it's inconvenient and coercive?
They don't have to give the raw tracking data to some other entity. They can sell decisions based on my data they collect.

Then can tell you to try to sell cycle headlamp to me because I have been looking for it in last fews days. I'd say that's selling my data.
For WebAssembly programs to work syscalls and storage stuff would have to be wrapped so that each platform has its own implementation with the same interface.

This isn't that strange of a concept, it's how stuff like Java has worked, but for it to truly feel native the companies that control the platforms would have to coordinate on it and integrate it. Unfortunately I don't see that happening quickly, but perhaps eventually.
Their UX continues to g et worse. Google Voice on iOS has had 10-20 second lag (no joke) on older versions of iOS (used to be jus fine!) for 1-2 years now. One previous version of GV in particular froze for 10 seconds on your first key press, now I can't rely on it to open properly, or send messages. It seems intentionally sabotaged.

I heard employees quit when G merged the YT with "real name" accounts.

Personally I've had a real pain getting support for android development. Wrong and misleading documentation, rude forum moderators, no way to report a bug (they have a bug where Payments page will show errors -- in Incognito Chrome) -- on the admob site. Solution was to sign up for Adwords (how could I tell?) and check the page in Safari or sign into Adwords on Chrome. Shit documentation. Help your developers earn you money better, Google. And stop changing your UI. It looks like they have low-tier coders who get hired with not enough power to rock the boat so they roll out a UI re-vamp no one wants without bothering to fix systemic problems that repeatedly kill products, break products and have a completely INSULTING policy towards their developers. Admob: "You can't even complain to us without earning enough money.. here's a phone number.. it literally never connects." Why even bother? I interpret that they hate me. The feeling is mutual.

The Dad Joke Doctrine
Its all about money and taxes.

Let's start with a labour budget of $300,000 to hire a lead programmer or other critical person.

France: 41.35% of the gross salary is paid to the Government in payroll taxes, leaving $175,938 paid as income to the employee.

After income taxes, $90,167 is left for the employee to spend.

That employee then wants to spend their entire salary on flat-screen TVs? They have an effective spending power of $75,139 after 20% VAT.

Government taxes account for about 75% of this labour budget! As you can imagine, this creates a huge incentive for tax evasion.

The US, for the same original budget:

4.09% is paid as payroll taxes, leaving $287,717 as income.

After (Californian) income taxes, $178,773 is left for the employee to spend. 7.25% sales tax then gives $166,300 finally.

So, an extra $91,161 ends up with the American worker (much more if they are married to a zero-income spouse and move out of California). Sure, you have to pay things like property taxes, 401K contributions, health insurance in the US - but would those account for $91,161?

Europe needs to completely scrap its payroll taxes and replace them with income taxes. Employees should not have to pay anything merely for hiring an employee, as it places a disincentive on using labour. On a global level, it also makes France uncompetitive - American companies hiring globally will be much more attractive.

Because they hate you. What other explanation is there?
I have two problems here:

First, from what I can find, the average click-through rate online for ads is something like 2%. I suspect it's even worse for smaller blogs and independent sources that don't advertise using Google.

Let's assume you're getting a dollar every time someone clicks on an ad. I think that's high, but whatever. If we were to get everyone to start paying for content, that would translate to it costing around 2 cents for you to look at a page. If you're reading 30 articles from your favorite site every month, that's 60 cents a month. So people talk about how expensive content would be, but from what I can see it probably wouldn't take a huge amount of money to give sites the same amount of support that they're getting right now.

Secondly, I think it's at least a little bit problematic to say that ads make content free. The only reason why any company would ever pay to put an ad on someone's content is if they expect to make that money back, either by encouraging consumers to buy a different product than they normally would have, or by encouraging them to buy more of a given product than they otherwise would have. Statistically speaking, you are paying for content that is ad supported. If you weren't, nobody would put ads on that content.

And I realize that sounds a little bit like splitting hairs, but I get tired of this idea that ads don't have a consumer cost. If you completely get rid of ads through ad blockers, and by not listening to radio or watching live TV, and by not using any service that doesn't give you a purchase option... it will not take long until you become re-accustomed to "normal" levels of advertising. And once you are accustomed to that, you will immediately notice on venturing back into the ad-filled world just how much time and attention and mindspace that ads demand from you.

Everyone believes that they're atypical, and that ads don't encourage them to spend more, or to buy branded products instead of generic ones, or to treat practical products like status symbols. Most people are wrong about their own abilities though. Most people are affected by advertising. That doesn't mean that advertising is evil, there are lots of good use-cases for advertising -- but it does mean that ads aren't free.

It would be very hard to gather data on this, but I suspect that if you tracked the average spending habits of people who were inundated with ads, their monthly spending would increase more than the cost of buying a few magazine subscriptions. I suspect that's even true of most people on Hackernews. If anyone has data, they're welcome to prove me wrong though.
This exchange is a good demonstration that the word "trivial" has lost its meaning in the same way "literal" has. Much like I usually hear someone use term "literally" for figurative emphasis, these days I mostly hear the word "trivial" used to describe something which is clearly nontrivial.

Math textbooks have been doing this for decades, but it's leaked into common parlance with online discussion.

Is the US football (not soccer) that popular in China or lots of Americans use Sina Weibo?
I keep meaning to write up a longer form version of this idea that I've been kicking around to solve this.

This issue is often talked about as an unsolvable problem, but I feel like we already have the technology to deal with it.

Lots of devices, such as an iPhone already have a secure enclave that can be used for identity. Why not use this to sign videos and images for authentication purposes?

Then certain devices can produce verified, undoctored images and videos. Or even allow some amount of limited tweaking, and editing while attesting to the original.

This could be embedded into the file produced, like exif data, and read by services like Facebook and Twitter to badge the image/video as verified and undoctored. This could improve the amature case significantly.

Professional photography and video equipment could have similar capabilities so originals could be produced and proven to be genuine.

I guess this idea still depends on the hardware devices remaining secure, which is far from trivial, but it does increase the cost of producing a fake. And to keep producing really good fakes, you have to have a zero day to fake a genuine signature, or it becomes know that any media produced with that device version is suspect.

If such a system became widly adopted, at the very least, savvy users, and the media would be suspect of anything not signed. And perhaps the general public would also learn to be skeptical, particularly if the issue of fakes became more widespread.

Don't have a versioned release right now, which is a gap. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll sort it :-)
Who is committing to chrome? Who is fixing bugs reported by users?

Google employees. The community is... mostly users. Any fork of Chrome will likely fail, because there is no magical community of privacy minded developers that has the time and expertise to develop Chrome, which is a massive and highly complex piece of software.

If you really feel this way, just switch to Firefox. Mozilla actually has a team of developers who fix and improve it.

Note that a majority of Mozilla's funding comes from royalties paid by Google for ads clicked on SERPs inbound from the Google search box. So Google has the power to control Mozilla if they really needed to.

I appologise if I implies in any part that your marriage would have been easy, I'm envious... but I'm not naive! :D

My comment about my own perception was being in a position where I tried, relentlessly, to make relationships work with several different people where in hindsight it was clear neither I or my then partner where in a position where we could.

It took many years before I got to the place where I am at today. I'm now comfortable with being alone but also in a position where I'd be capable of truly looking after another and respecting boundaries. They were not always something I managed at all well.

If I can ask, "but once she decided to separate marriage became easier. Then I separated and marriage was blissful - " - you separated marriage?

> It's attitudes like yours, that seem to equate conflict with aggression

I don't. Aggressiveness, especially passive-aggressiveness (like in your original reply) is usually a sign of weakness.

> not admitting mistakes with strength

You ceded to an overly pedantic and uncharitable interpretation of the CoC that, if applied, would be disastrous. People can't live up to that standard, applying it would be counter-productive even to your own goals. My goal was to make you realize that, not cave in. You had not made a mistake.

> and bullying with commanding respect

Asking people to live up to an extreme interpretation of an already highly subjective CoC, that is bullying in my book. If you actually commanded respect, you wouldn't need such a document in the first place.

> ...that need to be opposed.

You're opposing a straw man.
