"We have small and fine-tuned ghetto, but customers don't want that. What to do?"

I have similar problem: we have consumer device on top of imx6. I used iMX6 SoloLite evaluation board kit (1GB of memory) with Fedora for arm as development prototype. For me, installing a package is not a problem at all: "dnf install package". I planed to use Raspbian or Fedberry on actual device, but our management blindly switched to Yocto, without comparing of alternatives. To install package on Yocto, we need to create our own recipe in our own layer,then rebuild Yocto, fix bugs and repeat, and then deliver update. We spent man-year to achieve same result as we already had with Fedora. We seriously lag behind schedule because two developers (and two consultants) are working on developing of our own custom OS instead of working on our application. Moreover, instead of single system for development/testing and production (Fedora or Debian on developer workstation, in Docker for CI, on actual device) we now have mix of two systems. I created configuration script with about fifty options to be able to compile for host and for Yocto at same time (including workaround for number of bugs in Yocto). Enormous development time was sink into ground because of this schizophrenia.

“NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee. It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system:

Two Farthings = One Ha’penny. Two ha’pennies = One Penny. Three Pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

The British resisted decimalised currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated.”

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.

Another thing is the amount of time and energy invested into acquiring, renovation, maintenance and improvement of the property.

Financially any of those, especially market crash can ruin you for life - how do you want to price this massive risk in rental price?

Ever tried to buy a property? For mortals getting mortgage, its such a stressful experience even for simplest type - obtaining already existing and equipped flat, that it easily breaks relationships and marriages.

I understand the tenant point of view to try to pay as little as possible and have as big choice as possible, I am also in that camp, but there is other side (and I don't mean some super rich or people inheriting big properties by being lucky with birth).
Agreed. While Redfin, Realtor.com, etc didn't cut a realtor out of my RE transactions (1 purchase a decade ago, then 1 sale + 1 purchase last year), they did do a good job showing me what was on the market. And not just at a single point in time (when I was actively shopping), but over years, so I could see neighborhoods that were smaller or had less turnover. While actively searching, the often gave me a heads up as to what was coming on the market in the upcoming week - I wasn't at the mercy of the RE agent calling me with new listings.

Unfortunately, agents in my area still take a pretty standard % of any transaction, so those tech sites haven't made a dent in the cost of the transaction.
>It is normal to sell at 3x the cost of parts.

No, it isn't "normal" AFAICT[1], and anyway the estimated $443 are for parts + labour.

[1] if it was, and if the market was ready for that, there would be much more companies with the net results of Apple, whether it is good components, R&D (and the implied added value), brand or whatever else, the good Apple guys are very good at selling at higher prices than the competition.

But even the mutation that causes the allele to be inherited by all offspring is possible naturally, right? Isn’t that the same as the fragments that cause all human offspring to have two eyes?

Or does this drive have an anti-mutation mutation built in? The article seems to indicate that this is a particularly devious set of changes that will cause offspring to either have the changes wanted, or die.

Zack, please DON'T waste time on email, focus on security.

The category of customer who consider the flaky email solutions provided by registrars to be worth using, and who are unaware of how to hook their domains up to free forwarding at services such as Mailgun, are unlikely to ever buy your higher-margin services.

Your introduction of at-cost domain registration will already blow everyone away, you do not need email for that, but high-value domain owners will worry that the service will not be sufficiently-resourced to protect their domains. Those are precisely the domain owners you want because they are more likely to end up paying for your other services.

So, try to finally get U2F support in place before you spread your legs for mass domain registration. Real, proper U2F support that encourages users to associate TWO different hardware tokens with their account will save you from the tsunami of domain jacking attempts you are about to experience.

The point of having two different hardware tokens, kept in separate locations, is that it becomes far more unlikely that your support will ever have to deal with them. As long as they can continue to access their account with one, they will have time to buy and associate a replacement.

Meanwhile, any hacker attempting to socially engineer your support would be left with the tough job of having to explain how they managed to lose both tokens at the same time - they won't bother, they will move on to some other registrar that is too dumb to implement U2F.

You save your staff a world of hassle, you protect your reputation from a potential PR nightmare, and the high-value domain owners will be more than happy to bear the $95 cost of two Yubikeys. You just have to make it possible and gently encourage users in that direction.

Ah.

Yes, I read about how TypeScript is a more classical approach, and Flow would use "flow based" typing or something, which was a more modern approach. Also, it came out of the box with non-nullable types.

While I had the impression the TypeScript language designers didn't deem these features to be important, they added them anyway.

It is interesting, but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Also, I don't buy domains all that often anymore but I have heaps on renewals, so there is actually very little benefit to me.

Given that mosquitoes are also pollinators - this whole genocide approach is wrong IMHO. If they could make it so the females produced their own protein or at least had an immune system that prevented them from being carriers for various blood based parasites, then that would be great.

But sterilizing the females will inevitably lead to genocide of an entire range of pollinators that could have devastating impact in parts of the World that depend upon them more than we appreciate or understand today and we won't realise until it is too late.

Paradoxical Problems: When Working Harder Doesn't Work
two things, firstly, currently there is a block reward for finding a block, this was and still is the main incentive for miners. Currently the reward is 12.5 BCH per block found. every few years this reward halves (next in 2020) and in the year 2140 the reward will be gone altogether (very long time from now). By the time it runs out, the idea is that the network will be supporting hundreds of millions of transactions per day, and all fees, even if only th equivlalent of 1 cent, will be worth alot to miners.

I run a platform that is running applications multicloud, one of which is Heroku. Our devs that use heroku absolutely hate k8s.

They feel it's way more complicated and cumbersome and say they don't want to write thousand line YAML files and YAML engineering isn't their job.

Also, the pipelines Heroku provides and new CD is far superior. They don't want to reinvent Heroku.

Personally after I got k8s I felt about it how I felt about git. I think it's game changing and everyone should learn something about it. Can understand the frustration though.
Ha. I was working on my PhD in 1998 and I applied to Google for a summer internship. The problem was, Google demanded every transcript from every school I had ever attended, so two different undergrad, a masters, as well as my current institution. Each of those transcripts was like $20-$25 to obtain. I consulted at my checkbook. I had about $200 to my name that year. Wasn't gonna happen...

The Photos app has the same kind of behaviour when dragging photos. You'd be hard pressed to select a bunch of photos/videos and drag&drop them anywhere but on a folder (typically the desktop). Even then, copying them seems to trigger an "export" process (sometimes you see a progress bar or something with that label to that effect, I can't recall right now) that takes ages. Alternatively, you can "Reveal in Finder" and copy/drag/whatever the photos/videos from there and it's instantaneous.

You are playing a semantic game. The obvious, honest interpretation of my words is that I'm talking about preserving private investment. I'm of course aware that governments can and do fund research. I didn't expect to be discussing with a person that has such poor debating skills as to resort to such nitpicking, otherwise I wouldn't have replied at all.

> My apologies, your friendly suggestion is misguided. My "source" was the notoriously uneducated Noam Chomsky, but I knew you'd pooh-pooh that (can't stop you tho! :D) as appeal to authority.

No I wouldn't, because Mr. Chomsky isn't considered an authority on that particular subject (or most any of the many subjects he has opinions on).

Again, I'm not denying the contributions of publicly funded universities. You're (apparently) denying the contribution of privately funded R&D. It's true that companies rely on public research, why shouldn't they? What else is supposed to happen?

Really? Where can I read about this?

What I recall is that Jobs tasked Apple to create a phone and had a bake-off between the iPod guy (Tony something) and Federighi, and the iPod side of the firm created a device with a click wheel, Federighi's team created a device with a touch screen and Jobs made the call to go with the touch screen. It'd be weird if it went from that to Jobs having to be begged to launch it, especially as it was clearly awesome and Jobs himself had been so deeply involved in the design.
a $40 "drone" is really a small RC quadcopter with a 5-8 minute battery and probably no more than 150ft range. such a device is unlikely to make it any farther than the neighbor's roof/tree. fixed wing air-hogs that kids have been flying (unregistered) for decades pose a greater threat to public safety.

The fellow technical crowd in HN and Reddit loves to crap on Apple for "slowing down progress" but Safari is a very solid browser.

So, they are using housing data without taking the bubble into account. They will make money for a while until the market turns then they will lose money when their holdings are 20-40% underwater then it will take 5-10 years before their investment is above water. And the rental market will tank at the same time so, good luck with cashflow. Now let's add maintenance, upkeep etc.
Yes, thank you! What a great talk.

According to the Bureau of Prisons, there are 207,847 people incarcerated in federal prisons. Roughly half (48.6 percent) are in for drug offenses. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are 1,358,875 people in state prisons. Of them, 16 percent have a drug crime as their most serious offense. There were also 744,600 inmates in county and city jails. (The BOP data is current as of July 16. From BJS, the latest jail statistics are from midyear 2014, and the latest prison statistics from year-end 2013.) That’s an incarceration rate of about 725 people per 100,000 population.

Looks like for federal prisons it's as high as 48.6%, but that looks like it's for all drugs not just cannabis.

It's also probably too big a leap to speculate how many people are incarcerated for drug related incidents (theft to get money to feed a habit for example). Crimes which would probably be greatly reduced in a treatment over prohibition system.

I suppose what the GP meant is that Apple, even if using Marzipan, was in power to do the job properly, from menubar to titlebar to modals and set a standard for developers to follow, instead of going the lazy route and have what appears to be mere containers of an iOS experience with only slight touches of macOS. It really does make me think of Electron, with foreign conventions held within a window and tentacles reaching out to some APIs like menubar and notifications.

How about, "Some drone hobbyists angered they can't keep flying their drones at landing aircraft like assholes?"

All the uncontrolled airports near me have to have drone advisories because nobody respects the 400' or line of sight regulations. I was landing on 35 at KTHV last year and nearly hit a drone at almost 900' turning to downwind to base.

There needs to be registration and regulation so that when you as a drone operator violate airspace regulations you can be punished.
That's why open source projects need to register their trademarks. That's how Gnome managed to stop Groupon from ripping off the name for their own project.
They are a source of food for the next step in the food chain. You risk disturbing the entire ecosystem by eliminating mosquitos. Maybe some other insect will take their place, but the you risk eliminating the species as well because to many are eat.

It’s insanely complicated, and you can’t think in terms of benign or not. All animals are benign, they’re just animal filling out their niche in nature.

You don't need an "honest" attorney to get that number. It's normal for RE attorneys to get a flat-ish fee, and RE agents to pull a percentage.

And RE attorneys usually make <2k/deal, with a lot of that being add-ons from things like owning their own title company. You paid market rate, as best as I can tell.

And all paperwork and contracts are ultimately done by the lawyer. I have honest to goodness no idea why you involved a realtor at all if you were selling it by yourself. Their only job is to attract prospective buyers (read as: list your house on the MLS).

It seems unreasonable to expect any human to be able to reasonably predict anything 10+ years into the future with the kind of accuracy needed to provide climate change impacts of a given area. Only easy one is probably water levels rising causing places next to the ocean to go underwater.

Buy at a decent altitude, higher up than surrounding areas where water can drain into, and that has access to a water and food source which seem resilient. But who knows when a fire or flood or earthquake or whatever will come ruin your plan.
