Yeah, here are a few:

- 6 months expenses in cash (I'm a consultant, so work can be inconsistent))
- invest about half of my income
- have life insurance (but not disability, that's something I probably need soon)
- build potentially lucrative products on the side
- attend meetups relevant to my field
- keep up with the latest developments in my field
- exercise regularly and follow a healthy diet
- have at least one backup for most problems:
- if my car breaks down, I have a bike and bus pass; I've actually picked up a new battery with my bike
- if my house floods/burns down, I can stay with family nearby
- if my computer breaks, I can borrow my wife's or do most of my work at the library (I have a VPS that's mostly set up for my job, which I use occasionally while traveling)
- I keep emergency funds in 3 different accounts, two are local, and I keep a few hundred dollars in cash at home
- I have enough food in storage to last a couple weeks
- we keep our car at least half filled with gas always, and I have ~2 gallons in my garage (we use it with our lawnmower, so it's fresh)
- I have multiple credit cards from multiple institutions

Etc.

I can't plan for everything, but I want to make sure that I can at least survive a few months without any pay.

GridRAID is owned by Cray now, who were the primary OEM from Seagate.

Thanks for pointing out that declustered/distributed rebuild RAID has many historical precedents (also 3PAR BTW) pre-CRUSH/Ceph.
Links aside, it seems there's another out there with a kindred username!

Also, great write-up. That article is awesome!
For what it’s worth, my old cable box actually had an FPGA in it.
Because if he doesn't disclose it and we find out, it looks terrible and like he's trying to hide something.
Speaking of Facebook ads seeing as there is no way to contact them:

Do the engineers at Facebook realise the level of ad that their networks are now throwing out? It is at the level that warez and cracks site were in the early 90s. Granted they're not pop-ups or porn but they _are_ scams.
Out of sheer interest I've been checking them out recently and my highlights have been:

* Cypto-scams stealing HTML and CSS from legitimate newsites and pretending to be articles on how much money someone made crypto-trading using their product.

* A vaguely sophisticated Asian brides website where all of the users are bots that try to get you to spend money to use the website.

When I was fifteen years old, I knew the risk of going to those sorts of sites but Facebook is used by Grandparents and children. The sort of ads that Facebook is currently serving is genuinely _not_ cool and I encourage anyone near to that problem to step up and sort it out.

I've seen these ads in my feed and since reporting them now they only appear in the right hand pane as "sponsored ads" but I can't report them when they appear there for some reason.

Here's a link to what I considered to be the most egregious example:

https://imgur.com/VBfECGE

That advertiser cycles their domain(s) every week or so as well.
Author here! Would love to hear if you have comments or feedback,or if you've done some similar research!
Then, like the poster above says, the med schools should test for dexterity as a part of the admissions requirement. Instead they focus on taking only the people who have 4.0 GPAs and perfect test scores, so they get applicants who, guess what, spent their youth focusing on getting a 4.0 GPA and perfect test scores. It's not like that leaves you a lot of time for sewing.
That seems like an intended feature. I think that AWS GovCloud isn't designed for classified information, or for Government use only.

From the advertising page:

> The region is operated by employees who are U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. The region is only accessible to vetted U.S. entities and root account holders, who must confirm they are U.S. Persons to gain access to this region.

As long as you've proved you're a US Entity, it seems like you should be able to use GovCloud.

GovCloud seems like it's just some box-checking activity to ensure that there aren't any foreigners interacting with the system. Other than that, it's not any different from normal AWS regions.
If I know a competitor wrote it, I don't read it as negative. To me, it's a welcome courtesy, but as you say, I couldn't assume it if absent; so I'd probably paint a negative picture of S3 with the same albeit unprefaced sentence.

(Plus, I'm always pleased to see someone not call it a 'disclaimer'!)
Well, you can ask more specific questions, not just "what's my schedule" -- it is true but mileages may vary how much of information you can get out of hijacking. Since all the words followed by "Ok Google" will be captured and saved to attackers' Google account.

Regardless of impact this problem may exhibit, my point still stands that it shouldn't be hijackable, let alone at this ease.
Ditching the Shared Login
QNNPACK directly competes with the CPU backend of TensorFlow Lite and the gemmlowp library. The Caffe2 backend of PyTorch 1.0 integrates QNNPACK, and directly competes with TensorFlow Lite. QNNPACK targets only mobile CPUs, but Caffe2 integrates other backends for non-CPU targets, e.g. Apple's MPSCNN library for iPhone GPUs, Qualcomm's Snapdragon NPE for Qualcomm GPUs and DSPs, ARM ComputeLibrary for Android GPUs. Not sure what you mean by TensorFlow Cores: NVIDIA has TensorCores and TensorRT, and Google has Tensor Processing Units (TPU), but neither of these technologies are for mobile.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 Released
Some people is trying to do it since decades. Would be game-changing but is far from being solved still. The damned eight-armed tiny houdini's are too much smart for its own good.
It wasn't a quartz oscillator - it was the MEMS oscillator that Apple was using in place of a quartz oscillator that is speculated to be the root cause.

The other phones involved still used quartz.
No, food is something you need. A cellphone plan is something you need to function in modern society without an enormous handicap. Television is not something you need.

Seems like we don't have enough hotels then. Let's build more. It'd make a lot of money for the government.
For me this was magical. I love the smaller 12.9”. The size seems just right and I’m sure that’s the one I’ll be getting to replace my 15” MBP for everything portable like travel.

This looks like the perfect tablet and I’m not sure what else they could do to make it better going forward
How to Pick a Business Idea That Won’t Make You Miserable
This looks incredible! Does your project already support other language kernels than the Python kernel?

I use R for 90% of my work, but most of it has been happening in Jupyter notebooks (which I'm not a huge fan of, despite practically living in them for the past 4 years of my life).

Thanks for sharing!
The question is, are these guys going to give you a loan without positive cash flow or a clearly working model?

If you can prove it works then it's generally not hard to raise the money.
Sure it looks cool now, but how long until they nerf it and break it like they did the Ipad 1. I can't even use the app store anymore on my ipad1 because apple broke it. I'm certainly not going to buy this anytime soon.
Developers Whether Use or Not Static Analysis Tools to Find Bugs?
> let's say you're on some expensive cable plan, $120/mo and DVDs cost $15. that works out to 8 movies a month, which might cut it if you only watch a couple of hours of TV on the weekends, but is nowhere enough if you watch daily.

DVDs are cheaper per hour if you get less-current movies or, even better, less-current TV collections (e.g., the Friends complete series is currently $70 on Amazon, for 80+ hours.)

So, if you are concerned merely with quantity of video content, it may be true that DVDs are cheaper than cable.

If you have concerns about the specific content, then the claim becomes harder to defend.
Books Used in Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT MBA?
Dear hackers
I'm a hacker and love to build things. I don't understand much about the business side and don't want to spend so much money for a Top 10 MBA. If you've graduated from an Ivy League MBA I would be very happy if you could give me a list of books which you have used there. Thank you very much :-)!!
Hmm, nothing seems to happen when I press the Start button.

Windows 10, Google Chrome Version 70.0.3538.77 (Official Build) (64-bit)

It works on Firefox Quantum though!

EDIT: It seems on Chrome I need to press on the Start text itself; clicking the button doesn't work.
I log in almost daily as Quora had worked itself into my reflexive "social media cycle" along with HN/twitter/fb that i trigger every so often. But for months now I just tilt my head in bewilderment at the content it shows me. I might have read one or two of these fantasy sexual encounter stories in full because they randomly popped up, and since then my feed always has several of them at the top of my feed. It seems to have overfit incredibly aggressively.
Double Ha! I just posted that too, in a comment last week...

> outside of very high speed plans, internet access tends to have data caps

Not really. Data caps are unnatural and are simply a method to fleece users, high bandwidth or not. Normal Internet plans have no caps.
Of course, because it is. It's going to do a tiled render, likely at powers of 2, and all the heavy many-layer PSD stuff is completely asynchronous from the actual panning & zooming.

Or are you so naive you think that anything of significance is happening on or blocking the UI thread such that merely showing "smoothness" in any way reflects anything about the device's performance at actually doing the photoshop work?
and then realize the closed app you are using have none.

Before anyone asks why we didn't use SSH certificate authentication, it's because it doesn't provide for separate identifiable logins with respect to the target. A certificate authority can be a choke point for access control, but in every setup I've ever seen (e.g. Netflix BLESS) the access is still granted to a shared user.

You can still audit this way, but it involves joining audit logs with login logs; we found this less appealing than having the user's individual login ID directly in the audit trail generated by auditd, sudo, etc.

If Facebook is to be the public square, then it needs all the protections and consequences that come with it. You can’t say you’re a senator on a TV ad - that’s impersonating an elected official which is a plenty reasonable curb on free speech - just as you can’t walk around with a police officers uniform. There is SOME limit to speech in terms of fraud.
You should definitely give react-native-web a look. I've had a good experience with it and the only issue is animation. I don't know how any UI animation lib can match the performance of hardware accelerated CSS transitions btw. As soon as you have to run user code on every frame things go south.

Of course I'd love to be proven wrong and shown what animation optimizations I missed in my code.

I haven't heard of Capacitor yet, but I've used Cordova in the past. Is it a big improvement?
Away from work, I use my iPad for most things and only use my laptop for writing code. As famous hacker Kevin Mitnick says in his new book “The Art of Invisibility”, using locked down devices like iPads and Chromebooks provides the most safety.

I like the jump to USB-C and I am curious what the ‘docking’ experience is when the new iPad Pro is plugged into a large USB-C compatible monitor. This might make the developer experience very good and open the door to making something like the new iPad Pro in the future be the only computing device required. Add LTE and a data plan for mobility and traveling lite.
Yeah, that is about right.

I just don't like the whole concept of ads with children's education. Also, we are trying for a low distraction feel and ads would really make things difficult for some children who really need to have the distractions at minimal.

Yes you are right.

But as a Java developer I know and I care about the terms JRE and JDK that are used officially and on Windows and many Linux systems and MacOS. I was not aware of the Fedora package conventions.

And as I already wrote, I had most likely installed jdk-devel because, I guess, it is listed in yum and DNF-dragora. Maybe it was a bug in some Fedora related package tool. DNF-dragora had double entries for Java. Unfortunately I do not remember anymore the details.

Someone replied this to me:
"This is a fairly trivial problem to work around, although maybe this should be one of those "sane default" kind of things. Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/jre or point it at the specific OpenJDK version you want. That's what /etc/alternatives is for."

I guess that is way I tried "alternatives --config java" at the time.
Note that census “urban” is extremely broad, and basically includes what in common discussion would be all suburban and some rural communities, as well as conventional urban ones.

Do the official react-native-web examples work OK on Win10/Chrome70? http://necolas.github.io/react-native-web/examples/
I think the answer is that water has polarity! Though we’re definitely hitting my chemistry knowledge limit...

While water’s overall charge is neutral, its charge isn’t distributed symmetrically ans tbis makes it a rather polar molecule. This means part of molecule have different charges which leads to attraction to other water molecules thanks to van der waals forces. Basically water naturally clumps up and won’t squeeze through tiny holes even if it’s kinetic diameter would technically allow it. (Though I believe very high pressure can force it through)

Water’s polarity is what causes surface tension and droplets! For comparison, gasoline is relatively nonpolar, though not as nonpolar as He. If you’ve ever spilled some you can see it spread out immediately and avoid the droplet formation and cohesion you’d see with water. Similarly, water tight containers might not be gasoline tight. (but don’t test this out...)

To correct my comment from earlier:
Helium is special because of its small kinetic diameter AND because it’s naturally found in a monoatomic and nonpolar form, as are all noble gases. This lack of polarity leads to minimal intermolecular attraction that would cause clumping and limit flow.

(I found a reference that helium can be measured flowing through a 1.0nm hole, albeit at a very low rate. I wonder how close to the 0.260nm kinetic diameter a hole can get for He to still flow)
Thanks. The “Ads” are the reason I looked at the Roku and then said no. I was looking at an AppleTV also (I would have to convert some of my videos, but whatever) however the lack of an optical audio out kills that as I want the music to go to a different amp. So PC with Kodi and TV apps for Netflix and Amazon. The quest continues!

Can they pay for their own website? What about a website about their ideas? What about linking to that website? Limiting speech like that sounds dystopian. It's sure great for established players though as they are already known and get a lot of air time anyway while the competition can't even pay to try to convince others to their ideas.
All of that can be done in a remote VM. I use Coda + Shelly on an iPad pro and it's a pretty decent development experience. The real barrier is for (non-web) GUI development.
This tired, tired meme. It's a few hundred years old by now, isn't it? Does anyone who has a reasonable outlook on life really think that issuing a command that instantiates an instant tribal mob mentality on a cloistered group of people is the same as political speech?

False equivocations that you don't even really believe yourself aren't exactly good counter-arguments.
I agree the book teaches many useful concepts!

> OP: cool looking app, it’s really nicely done. Was this a “teach myself a language” sort of project? If not, what was the motivation? [Edit: just seen your comment below.]

Thanks! A combination of learning RN and adopting Deep Work principles by building something around it --- my favorite type of learning, albeit time consuming :).
That's fine, but it depends on the value of you in "You can't say you're a senator." Is Vice liable for fraud here? Facebook?

And don't forget, the OP is responding to GP proposing simply banning political ads on Facebook altogether, not simply fraudulent ones.
Yes, and it's also always been more important for a publisher to defend more carefully against any misrepresentation relating to their own endorsement or trademarks on their own medium, while punting to take down processes for misuse of other's trademarks, etc is mostly allowed.
Did they pose as third party candidates? Haven't read TFA, but do know several third party candidates that were petitioning for ballot support that had huge issues with getting ads approved, even for pages/accounts that were approved.
try to assume good faith

That is something you conspicuously failed to do dozens of times on this page. The other person is always missing the point, didn't read what you said, falling victim to one myth or another, disingenuous, irrelevant, fixating, making absolutely no sense, slipping in thing at the end after the red herrings, seem eager to put words in your mouth ...

It makes for super-tiresome reading. This is not a productive method of communication. (That was you complaining about the other guy yet again.)

Please consider that you are just one person among many on here, and that you may seem as ignorant, misguided, irrational, unfair, impossible-to-argue-with, prejudiced to them as they apparently seem to you. And please be more considerate in future. Be civil. Don't be snarky.
I'm absolutely in favour of better mental healthcare, including increased funding, though I'm also in favour of committing people who would otherwise end up being drug-addicted and homeless, so we may still not see eye to eye on this.

I do believe that everyone needs a bit of community and a bit of emotional support. The Internet can indeed provide this for people, but there's a risk when people get into echo-chambers - regardless of whether we're talking about right wing extremists, or tumblr social justice warriors. The ideal state is one in which we're still continually introduced to things we may not completely agree with, and one in which we're all free to debate and discuss even controversial topics.

Deplatforming and censorship hurt that effort, drive it underground, and further the formation of deep discontent.

I wonder how much of tourism is social prestige signaling. As in: "I've been to place X, have you been to place x?". It's sort of like going to TED conferences, it makes middle class people feel good about themselves and show prestige with their peers.

Again, the standard, very simple control in html works analogously to the standard Delphi or corresponding control. The non-standard checkbox + multi-select widget you envision would be, IMHO, simpler to implement in js+html than in Delphi--but would be a custom widget in any implementation, as it's not a standard UI control.
I love HN. I came here to learn more about MEMS RTCs, something I've never heard about previously... But most of the discussion is about the dangers of a helium leak... Which is a good point, especially if that leak is in a hospital.

A bit of googling on MEMS RTC revealed this slightly dated article which I thought was still interesting: https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/app-notes/index.mvp/id/55...

Something tells me you haven't spent any time in the gutters of the Internet if you really think all controversial speech is funded. Plenty of people hold opinions that you might want to censor.

The "they're all russian bots!" meme is getting old, and doesn't actually bear scrutiny in reality. If you don't believe me, then go and spend some time in the darker parts of the internet to see what the discourse is like. Engage with the people there if you're feeling brave.
