A few things I notice:

+ Nobody making food is wearing gloves or hair nets (aside from the one guy making cheese). That's probably not a requirement, but given the amount of food being made and how bad even minor contamination would be, that surprises me.

+ Any large food operation is going to require a lot of sanitation/cleanliness. They also mention they don't use "anything not natural". I wonder if that extends to bleach and commercial cleaners.

+ $150 for a discretionary fund to cover cellphone and a car is nothing. That won't cover a single car breakdown.

+ I wonder how well they will handle a serious medical cost. One person with an autoimmune disease will easily wipe out their cash on hand - as will a chainsaw accident.

It's an interesting thing to follow, but I'm happy to be merely an observer.
Yes all this "news" we're hearing this morning on this topic is just Germany realizing that Greece have decided they prefer an abusive relationship with China to their previous abusive relationship with Germany. Germany protests!
wooo, I hadn't realized we pay for it with taxes! Wow thanks for correcting me, this sure has been a week for me, why yesterday I just barely learned that water was wet - imagine that!?!
I have friends who I have witnessed converting to flat earth-ism and anti-vax-ism.

I am perplexed by the whole thing, because any thoughts you are likely to have (stupid people, trolls..) are wrong. It's just hard to form/adopt any kind of theory of the phenomenon.

At its core I think Scientism is a good name for it, because it does seem somewhat similar to Marxism (in particular) and Freudianism, the "theories" Karl Popper and F. Hayek had in mind when they coined these terms.

I usually have opinions and theories about everything. I have nothing here. No idea what's going on, other than a suspicion paranoia is plays a role.

I definitely notice that. In my cube farm it's so loud that I often can't focus so I start reading Hacker News or stare at my phone as distraction. When I work from home I actually work because it's nice and quiet.
That mirrors my Perl experience exactly.

In the early nineties it was a force multiplier, and then it seemingly just imploded in on itself.
I hate it when it starts ringing. My phone is on silent all the time for that reason (lots of missed calls, sorry), and when I'm busy the interruptions greatly irritate me (and I'm always busy).

I used to back up my friend's website over FTP to a git repo. He often would break something and have no way to know what broke or how to fix it.

I frequently set up automatic backups of network appliance configurations, route tables, and traceroute results. This is useful for diagnosing sudden problems, as well as taking before and after snapshots when making changes.

I collect interesting data, such as kernel version and versions of various services, from hosted web servers my clients run.

I collect data at regular intervals when investigating a sporadic, chronic trouble event to help me identify correlations and test hypotheses.

I collect BGP and traceroute data at regular intervals from route servers to identify important changes and trends in Internet routing for specific prefixes.

I used to collect IDS signatures in a git repo to track updates, but I eventually moved this to GitLab.

I regularly run a watchdog script to check for, alert on, and attempt to mitigate low disk space and other such conditions.

Hope this helps!
I don't think it's a zero sum game. Just because country A becomes more powerful doesn't mean country B must be less powerful.

Countries rise in power together all the time.

Look at Asia and Europe in the last couple decades.

Also I think you exaggerate the differences between the West and China. The US these days is by no means a beacon of liberty and fairness. And China is no Taliban-level opressor. Yes, there's quite a lot of poor behaviour on their part but I see it as roughly the same order of magnitude as most non-european countries.

The Chinese people are idealogicially pretty damn similar to the rest of us, that is, they're human.

As for their government, on the global stage they're being far more cooperative and rational than the US is these days, even if they're being pushy in their neighbourhood.

Also, come to think of it, it's the US declaring illegal wars recently with hundreds of thousands dead and you know, causing ISIS. What did China do that compared to that?

There's something fishy going on here. I don't really think that Bloomberg would fabricate the story out of whole cloth, so there has to be something there somewhere. It's possible that they were duped, but if they didn't make some efforts to corroborate the story, that would be shockingly poor journalism, the kind of thing you expect from the National Enquirer, not a major financial paper.

On the other side, it doesn't take much of a lapse in QA to let a single bad part through, when you are dealing with billions of components like Apple is.

Ask HN: Tips for First Developer at company
So technically I am a junior developer at my company but I am the first one so I am deciding a lot of the architecture of the platform. They contracted alot of work before, in Laravel. But I only know Rails with a React frontend. What should I be looking for dev workflow? We dont have a dev, staging, prod environment flow setup (contractors straight push code to production)- should I be thinking about that? Docker? Cronjobs? So many questions I thought a senior developer would know but its just me haha
In the video he portrays the decision as out of respect for the sources under NDA, not out of respect for Intel

Not sure I fully get it though, a scoop is a scoop

> Pretty much only gamers want +Clock speeds

I wish. We use a commercial path-tracer that scales very well to many cores, GPUs and entire clusters when it's chewing away at a single fixed scene or animation.

But in interactive mode many scene modifications are bottlenecked on a single or few threads and locks until it gets back into the highly optimized rendering code paths. So a lot of work goes into quickly shutting down as many background threads as possible to benefit from high turbo-boost clocks on Xeon Gold processors so the user doesn't have to wait long and then ramp them back up when it's just rendering the fixed scene.
I agree that would make way more sense in general but who knows maybe Apple is reflashing them with verified image or some other procedure that would make that not a workable approach.
Indeed. As I said, nobody came out looking clean.

I think the kindest thing you could say is that the Greek populace basically gave up on good governance and decided to make do with what they had, which is kind of damning with faint praise.

Project Strobe, what will change after the Google security breach?
Microsoft's great strength is the integration with the business (the Microsoft EA and Cloud Services agreements are powerful weapons to drive business) and technology (they can scale those offerings). They can make the first hit of Azure free by "discounting" something else. Everyone who is a potential customer of Azure has a contract already.

But that strength is also a weakness. They have at least 3 US Office 365 offerings (Commercial, "Government Community", and Federal). It's harder for them to hit compliance targets, because their customer scope is so huge. The security needs for XBox are different than the Army. I think AWS and in many cases GCP has a better story there.

The support equation is irrelevant.
First of all I think "crash" is the wrong word here. Unix tools commonly exit gracefully with an error code when the argument requirements are not met. Often with an informative error message.

A five minute pause sounds ridiculous to me, absolutely not user friendly from either end. It's jus unpredictable and time wasting. If you absolutely must, you can use 'isatty' to check whether stdin/stdout/stderr are connected to a terminal and act accordingly.

There is some merit to having consistent and predictable behavior regardless of where and by whom the tool is invoked, though.
How about a facebook app for that?</sarcasm>. I quit Facebook 2 years ago, and my usage of phone has decreased dramatically. But there are other apps, or website (i.e. HN) that pulls you in. I do not believe you can cure the addiction until you fully get rid of your phone, and that is definitely not realistic. We just need to identify biggest offenders (i.e. Facebook) and just quit.

" The price of college education is going up much faster than the cost of providing it. If you look at tuition vs what a professor is paid, one goes up much faster than the other. "

That's the most important question. Same applies to health care. Where does the money actually go and how has that changed over the last 50 years? Everybody immediately complains about their favorite scapegoat but there is no comprehensive accounting.
FTA : "I'm also keeping a diary all about my cornea transplant."
It has been years since I've written objective-c, so I'll write out some psuedo-code. This may be wrong, please correct me! (It should map to C++ pretty directly, and certainly does in unsafe Rust.)

* You have an object. You call retain on it. You have a count of one.

* You also have a pointer to that object. The "borrow" in your analogy.

* You return this pointer, and stash it somewhere. The object still has a count of one, so it's still live, so this is okay.

* Later in your program, you use that pointer to call release.

Here, we've only ever had a reference count of one, but our object has lived across arbitrary inner scopes. In Rust, this would not work, unless you dropped into unsafe.

Obviously, with Arc and autoretain this kind of code doesn't get written anymore, I would hope. And even without, it wouldn't be guaranteed, so you'd want the "borrow" to actually bump the refcount. But Rust is about guaranteeing that it can't.
It seems like everyone in the community does a lot of manual labor, and it's really hard to get a ton of calories from a vegan diet especially when you need to feed 73 people.

Dairy and meat are calorie and nutrient dense. There are some fruits/vegetables/nuts that are as well of course, but it sounds like they mostly sell their nut butters.

Since the current expectation is leisure, access to top technology, low class size from highly educated scholars, medical care, lodging, and administrative help... it costs $60k to house a prisoner per year, why do you think college costs should be much lower?

I'm not defending it, but there isn't Trader Joe's or Aldi of college yet (slightly better than average generic product with low/no frills).

If you want the answer: college loans are very lucrative, so they are pushed on the consumers heavily, just like home loans were 10-15 years ago. The people that profit from that benefit from irresponsible behavior and a broken system.

How We’re Keeping Our Android UI Consistent – Yelp Engineering – Nicola Corti
Bakary said: "In my own experience struggling with addiction I've found that it is a symptom rather than a cause."

You said: "but there are other people who need to take affirmative steps towards abstinence, and avoid certain people places and things, as they say."

To clarify, you each are saying two different things; with Bakery addressing the disease, and you common symptoms (of failed attempts at trying to cure symptoms).

For example, let's say you're an addict of some sort and you get "treatment" (e.g., 30 day detox). But the problem is, you drink because X happen to you as a child. You "addict" (so to speak) to mask that pain. But the detox treatment never addressed that root cause. Quitting the habit doesn't eliminate the need that created that habit.

After 30 day you check out. For a moment, you're clean. In your mind, you've got it beat. However, humans are also creature of habit, as well as creatures of conformity (i.e., we "default" to the norms around us). When it comes to basic behaviors context matters. A lot.

You return to your old neighborhood, old friends (likely some are also addicts), etc., old TV shows. More of less, the same routine. Keep in mind, you're not cured, only __temporarily__ clean. In no time at all you're off the wagon. Why? Because your root problem was never cured to begin with. And being human means you assume the "norms" around you.

Sure, you can abstain from your device. But you still haven't solved The Problem (upper T upper P intentional). You simply grabbed a balloon. The root cause is now likely to pop out somewhere else.
I don't really have any relevant data to counter, but are you sure it ends badly more often than not?

As tech news readers, we might be a bit biased. I think evil corporations buying lovely startups is a typical story where devout users are pissed off, angry tweets are tweeted and bitter blogposts written. If an integration later fails, it's a great moment to remind everyone you called it as soon as it was announced.

But big companies are still buying smaller ones all the time and maybe we're just not noticing successful projects because they're not news.

Well it almost certainly was cost. Memory was expensive. Address space was limited to 64k. And most importantly, user's displays were color TVs with terrible resolution. Arcade games shipped w/ high quality CRTs. Back in the 80s very few of us had that luxury. My display on my VIC-20 was a 9" B&W TV that my parents had lying around.

Also if you look at something like the Atari 800, it had at least a subset of what you're talking about as far back as 1979. As a result it was more expensive than the competitor machines, and also many software developers didn't make good use of the features that were there.

Another nice concept: normal numbers. These are numbers which have a very basic property of randomness: getting the block frequencies right. [1]

The strong law of large numbers implies that almost every number in the unit interval is normal.

Giving a simple construction of a normal, and proving that it is indeed normal, is quite difficult.

It's possible that if you did that you might be okay _today_, if your kids are also gonna go to a "decent" school instead of a better school, if you're also gonna get a "decent" house, et cetera, and you happen to live in the right place to enable all of this. The trend lines are strongly suggesting that everywhere is going down similar paths, though. There's no indication there's anywhere specific they're going to -stop-.

The problem here is the trends, not today, because those big expenses are in the future and we need to worry about what they'll be then, not what they are today. The trends are happening just about everywhere, just to different degrees.
