Does anyone have recommendations on how to overcome the resentment I feel against people like the author? I am jealous and frustrated by their advantage, but that opinion is purely negative and doesn't help me at all.
Fight back by calling the governor a sucker as frequently as possible. Republicans are supposed to be good at business. When a governor gets taken to the cleaners like that, it means they're too gullible for the job.
Was just recently in London and walked past! I didn't see anyone just parked there, but im sure they were being more covert.
Yup, i exclusively use FB for group chats and events. Have uninstalled Fb app and messenger app and my phone's battery and ram thank me.
Not really. The GAAR makes many "technically legal" schemes illegal. But it requires expensive and long litigation by Hmrc to prove it.

Passing a new law short circuits the process.
Docker, as mentioned in the Forrester report is "Docker Enterprise 2.0" and as the text mentions it's a Kubernetes platform with Swarm and Kubernetes orchestrators.

AzureStack presumably runs AKS, the same as the Kubernetes service that runs in Azure, which is totally different.

The market size can't be attributed in any way to Azure Stack which is why I was surprised you mentioned it was heavily used. Gartner talks to a wide range of companies usually.
The point is, in most EU countries the bill would be maybe 300-400 USD. Not just the patient co-payment, the whole sum. So the US healthcare is overpriced by the factor of 120x.
But we already have "next-gen intermediate organizations" that filter the news for us. I carefully curate people I follow on Twitter, subreddits I'm subscribed to on reddit, podcasts in my feed, etc.

I have reduced my usage of facebook considerably. I keep the app on my phone, but only check it once or so a day. I can't use it on my desktop, as I have blocked all of its domains (including tracking domains) in my hosts file. As soon as I blocked tracking and reduced my usage, I noticed that I started to get push notifications about things that I wasn't directly related to, but facebook thought I would be interested in (previously I only got notifications about comments to my own posts and replies). This also corresponded with around the timing of Zuckerberg's congressional testimony, so I'm not sure if this more aggressive notification strategy has happened for everybody, or just those of us that have actively disengaged from the platform.
I never assumed any disagreement; just felt the need to add the following.
This reminds me of TerraFab (http://terrafab.bengler.no/). A Norwegian site where users can zoom in on norwegian fjords, and press the order 3d print button.

Edit: Someone has put up the Terrainator site (https://terrainator.com/) that generates 3D print files from Google maps. It costs money and you have to 3d print the thing yourself.
I use Chocolatey right now. Are there any particular advantages that AppGet offers over Chocolatey?
Relevant John Adams quote:

I could fill volumes with descriptions of temples and palaces, paintings, sculptures, tapestry, porcelain, etc., etc., etc.—if I could have time. But I could not do this without neglecting my duty. The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences: the art of legislation and administration and negotiation, ought to take place, indeed to exclude in a manner all other arts. I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.
> Think for yourself, dammit. It isn't that hard.

I think for myself plenty. I have realized that it is foolish to completely abandon accumulated collections of knowledge and wisdom and try to do everything from scratch by myself. Yes, they have flaws, but everything has flaws. Any alternative framework or approach must do significantly better with less flaws.

Of course, constant effort is required to reevaluate things, to account for known flaws, and so on. I would never advocate for docile, naive acceptance of authority.

Edit: I should have also mentioned that I'm a strong proponent of applying a reasonable degree of skepticism to all incoming information, as well as being comfortable with uncertainty. Saying "I'm not sure about that but I'd like to learn more" is a superpower.

Edit: The study seems to have a major flaw in that it ignores the effect of the block subsidy in its calculations: Though it mentions the block reward halvenings, it ignores them in the CO2e calculations. They basically calculate the CO2e emissions per transaction in 2017, then multiply that by a predicted number of transactions that will be made in future years [1]. Currently, transaction fees only account for 1-2% of the miner reward - (in 2017 on average 17% of profit was the fees, in 2018 6% and in the past 6 months only 1.5% [2] )

The study makes predictions in a very long term (15+ years) - but they ignore that what is currently 95+% of the reward (and thus 95% of the energy used) automatically halves every four years. This ratio will forcibly change over time - in 20 years bitcoin is either dead or fees will account for almost all of the reward - which means you have to divide the predicted emissions in the paper by at least 5.

In the long term the amount of energy one BTC transaction burns is pretty much the same as the fee paid for that transaction times the cheapest electricity in the world.

[1] "The CO2e emissions of projected Bitcoin usage were estimated using the CO2e emissions for Bitcoin transactions in 2017 as a reference. We randomly sampled blocks mined in 2017 until their total number of transactions were equal to the projected number of transactions, then we added the CO2e emissions from computing such randomly selected blocks. The approach was repeated 1,000 times."

My hot take is that the market exists for AI art. And if you were truly able to generate "Computer Art". Something that at first glance 100% of rationally thinking humans would deem a work that no human were capable of creating. It's value could be tremendous.
Does anyone else find it super-strange that, as what is consistently one of the top ten iOS applications in the App Store, and a massive company now purchased by an even more massive company, Instagram can not be bothered to produce a native iPad app?

It's been 8 years (the first iPad was released in 2010) and the platform has certainly proven itself not to be a fad.

Instagram looks like an actual joke on my iPad Pro 12".
You can't have your cake and eat it. If speech doesn't have power over people, why do authoritarian governments fear it and seek to curtail that freedom?

Facebook really has no draw to it anymore other than the convenience of messaging people that you don't have other lines of communication with. Going through my feed, it's 95% spam consisting of friends sharing stock pictures with spiritual quotes, self motivational quotes, etc. It's difficult to filter through that for some people you want to keep tabs on because they share annoying junk from 50 different sources, requiring me to manually block every single one to keep them off my feed. I didn't use it for several years and it had very few negatives. The only thing I missed out on was not reconnecting with old friends. FB is for the older crowds now, it's lost all appeal to the younger generations. Hell, I'd rather see myspace revived than have FB be popular again. At least myspace let you get creative.
All they have to do is hide the like count.

And humanity can return to normal human communication without a count influencing every behaviour and thought.

They can still use the counts behind the scenes to surface popular content and whatever else they do with it.
The headline is a bit confusing: the CEO wasn't named CBO, he named someone and then (apparently?) fired her before she took the role.
Love him or hate him, they're not required to keep him in their embassy forever, or pay his bills and clean up after him. Regardless of what he did, in the civilian world, he'd be similar to a squatter.
I deleted my account. A comment on an HN article a few weeks ago prompted me to see if, after six months, it was really deleted. Nope still there. Waiting to see if it will delete properly this time.
cool app. I'm curious as to what inspired this. and how do you intend to prevent spam since users are posting anonymously.
I read RE:WORK when I was working for a large consulting firm supporting an even larger government client. While it doesn't do much to solve your current situation, it certainly helps you re-evaluate your basic assumptions about how you would like to work and what is possible in your work. I definitely began thinking about my projects differently.

Similarly, with REMOTE, I don't think I would've considered working remotely as a good option for me before reading the book, but here I am doing remote work and loving it.

The book is in my "To Read" queue but typically while aspirational I do find them helpful even if it is just to motivate you as a team lead or developer to carve out a calm niche for your team within a larger environment.

Old media criticizing new media? How unexpected.
We already provide a UBI to an entire demographic of people who are hopelessly dependant on drugs and mostly just sit around watching TV. It actually works out just fine. We call them seniors and their UBI social security.
Where are these users going? If they are migrating to something owned by Facebook, it's a moot point.
> Pew surveyed more than 3,400 U.S. Facebook users in May and June, and found that a whopping 44 percent of those ages 18 to 29 say they've deleted the app from their phone in the last year. Some of them may have reinstalled it later.

Yet the total user base in the US is something over 100mm - how would you possibly consider 3,400 people be indicative of an entire demographic?

Edit: Yes, I'm aware of statistics and how they work ^_^ It is more that I'm skeptical of the conclusion being based of a sample truly diverse enough to be confident in
> When organizations start to have too many projects, they need an easy way to share values and code snippets between those projects. To support this we have Jinja2 templating of build scripts

I would implore everyone implementing CI/CD to do the opposite. If you have a small project, maybe use a build script to get it off the ground quickly. If you have a large organization with complex, disparate tech projects, do not use build scripts.

Use CM or orchestration tools. Use pre-rolled containers/images. Use configuration options for existing solutions/plugins/deployment tools. Write only open source, composable, extensions/modules/plugins, with yaml/json/xml configs to control them.

The open source bit is actually crucial. By making all your build/test/deploy plugins open source, you force yourself not to include proprietary information, which is always a dark pattern. Hard-coding IPs/hostnames, credentials, product names, regions, etc just makes your work less composable/reusable. Open source all your pipeline code except for your configs. Then everyone in your business can find everyone else's work simply by going to GitHub and looking up a tool. Because they won't be scripts, they can be picked up and used immediately by any team, and not have to be forked by every team that needs a modified build script.

To do all this properly requires discipline and training and research and time, which big companies have. The point is not to be fast, but to be reliable, to prevent muda from sapping your productivity.
Are you European and send in additional money to your revenue collection agency?

No? You're avoiding taxes (or evading taxes) by choosing to pay the lowest legal amount you're obligated to. Therefore, you must be American. What a paradox!
yes, I am also seeing this and I'm so upset about the change. I LOVE Google now before the update, these ads just suck. I also am a paying customer (Google Music, YouTube red, G Suite, Adwords...) and really think I "deserve" to have an ad-free experience.

my favorite part about Google Now was the wide-range of news it would show, all tailored to my preferences.
How about when SFTP is treated as an alternative exposed protocol for your existing daemon to speak, with your program embedding an "SFTP-app framework" and giving it a delegate router/handler module—much like you'd embed a web-app framework and give it a delegate router/handler module?

I'm mostly thinking of Erlang's `ssh_sftpd` application here, where your application can "drive" it by exposing a "file server" for it to talk to as if it was the filesystem.
You also need to be honest about what your criteria is for a job search. Are you expecting to find a 6 figure job for a rockstar 10x Python/JS engineer in Podunk, Iowa?

Come to any of a dozen cities that have a decent tech representation and you won't need a year to get an offer. And I'm not talking about SF or NY, you can go to places like Denver, Salt Lake City, Austin, or Boise.
At this point, is IBM anything more than an accenture/infosys/cognizant style consulting firm with patents? I'm having a hard time understanding why they're supposedly different compared to any of the big players in that space.
Thanks. It seems like this would be a good candidate for the virtualization based isolation that they built for protecting LSASS.
"Great ideas will win in a free market, bots or no bots."

This is a slogan, not an empirical fact. There are plenty of instances of market failure in cases where information about goods is unreliable or manipulated. It's a whole sub-discipline in economics!

In the case of politics, actors have a strong incentive to cause the information market (if you want to put it that way) to fail.
> and thinking of geometric operators as generalized numbers would have seemed pretty alien for most of the 19th century as well.

Do you know of any resource treating that subject explicitly? I assume you mean the same kind of operator as in 'differential operator'—is that right? I can kinda see it maybe... but would definitely be interested in hearing the idea expanded on :)
The memo isn't linked in the article.
RedHat seems to have already adopted IBM’s approach of “milk the customer base.” They belong together, as neither is a big growth play any more.
That's 100% the hospitals fault, no other profession would get away with not knowing how much the service they provided you costs and then making up a number to charge you.
You mean to ruin a secondary platform? I've all but stopped using Instagram for the same reason I've all but stopped using FB... there are just too many ads to scroll past to see what I'm actually there to see (the people I'm friends with/following). Every other post now seems to be an ad/sponsored post. Both platforms have gone overboard to the point that I only visit maybe once/week now instead of daily. I also don't have any FB related apps on my phone since they all share data with FB and want access to every possible damn permission. I just visit the sites in my desktop browser now (and sign out when done). So, they better be charging a LOT more for the ads they show as I don't think I'm in the minority here by visiting a lot less often due to the complete over-saturation of them.
It's true that you need connections, but fortunately there are ways to make them. Either ask other founders for warm intros to their investors, or join an accelerator like Y Combinator.

I did not look for additional videos, my comment was based on just the video in the article. That slow-mo video shows more than the one in the article, and makes me a believer.

I also was just asking about the flash not appearing in one video. Not attempting to say a blank would have no flash. Two different cameras makes perfect sense, but they didn't actually say what was happening in the video. I thought they had just slowed down
Statistically 3,400 is a large (read statistically significant) sample size. If the participants were appropriately sampled, it can be indicative of a trend.
I thought the line (as men in New York are known to do) as being the offputting one. It’s not needed and completely biased.
First I want to know what the product actually does, then I can worry about prices and contracts.
They are usually the least part of the problem.

The biggest issue I've had in the past is that I ask for a feature and the salesman say "no problem" and when it's time to implement what I asked for is a custom feature that they can build for €100k.

Assuming we don't find better ways to generate electricity. This ignores that a lot of mining power is concentrated in China hooked up to cheap renewable sources like hydro-electric power. If we can generate electricity without emissions and run miners off that (wind, nuclear, solar, hydro-electric...) then there is no need for Bitcoin to warm the planet at all.

That nobody cares is proof that if there's no money or ability to politically influence by reporting it, nobody will ever find out about it. Things are brought to the surface by coordinated action, either political or economic. Everything else stays buried largely because there's simply too much stuff to look at and it takes concerted efforts to bring things to peoples attention. Political propaganda and advertising are multi-billion dollar industries for a reason.

Your good faith argument is that having built a site for white supremacists and Nazis and regularly using the overt, racist, anti-semitic language of white supremacists and Nazis (which you, for some inexplicable reason, choose to describe as 'criticism of Jews') the owners of Gab might, in fact, be secret adherents to the ideology of the Nation of Islam.

There's a bit in Winnie-the-Pooh in which Pooh goes home to get a jar of honey to use as bait in a Heffalump trap.

"It had HUNNY written on it, but, just to make sure, he took off the paper cover and looked at it, and it looked just like honey. “But you never can tell,” said Pooh. “I remember my uncle saying once that he had seen cheese just this colour.” So he put his tongue in, and took a large lick. “Yes,” he said, “it is. no doubt about that. And honey, I should say, right down to the bottom of the jar. Unless, of course,” he said, “somebody put cheese in at the bottom just for a joke. Perhaps I had better go a little further... just in case... in case Heffalumps don't like cheese... same as me... Ah!” And he gave a deep sigh. “I was right. It is honey, right the way down.”"

Five year olds can easily tell this is supposed to be amusing and not a description of Pooh's good-faith effort to establish the precise contents of the jar.

My Mom and her generation are the only ones I know around me still using Facebook. They eat it up, they can't get enough of it like crack, since it is many of their first exposure to social media in their lifetime.

I don't think that bodes well for Facebook, that's not the demographic anyone wants as far as I know. Like Snapchat after Kylie Jenner's tweet, this survey is the canary in the coal mine telling investors to get out.
Taking right-vs.-left potshots in a throwaway remark is just way too low quality to meet the bar here.

This will only hurt the people who live in the UK. Those companies will just raise their prices to cover the tax. Sure maybe the local companies could then undercut Amazon if they somehow don't have to pay the tax, but eventually they'll just raise their rates to match because why give up the profit margin if they don't have to?

It doesn't matter anyway, the tax will never happen. They're just using it as a point of negotiation for a new US trade deal after Brexit.
