I think you make a good point and I'd be open to having rational discussions about it, but these are people posting "O'Bummer" Obama memes... imo just not even worth wading into. They're not looking for my input, as the poster below mentioned they just post as a rallying cry to get likes from their other right wing family members.
Because when you initially pressurize a newly installed portion of pipe, it's not filled with natural gas, it's filled with air. Air doesn't burn, something like a natural gas burner with a pilot light is going to detect that the pilot light went out and shut off the gas flow to prevent an explosion. That leads to a sort of catch 22, you can't purge the line without the burner going and the burner won't turn on until the line is purged.

Ideally you would pressure test and purge new work with nitrogen as well in order to prevent a potentially combustible mixture from forming inside the pipe while the air is being purged from it.

As to the safety of purging natural gas directly indoors, obviously that carries some risk but it's not as dangerous as you might assume. Below a certain concentration (5% by volume) natural gas mixed with air actually won't burn freely. Also above 15% natural gas by volume won't burn freely. The risk of an explosion is only present in that 10% range. If you're putting in a new gas stove in your kitchen and you crack open the valve with the hose off of the stove until you smell gas, that's not a ton of natural gas that you've let out into a room with a relatively huge volume. The pressure of a natural gas pipe in a house is actually very low, only around 0.25 psi. It's coming out slow enough that you've got plenty of time to turn off the gas before you come anywhere close to hitting that lower explosion limit where things get extremely dangerous.
It's very distinct from what you hear on TV. TV doesn't even do the right sound, nevermind the length, but it's definitely noticeable for an American.

Don't worry, I'm sure that the Aluminum smelter that provides their sheet has carefully weeded out all the "non-American" aluminum atoms.

Also each Steel molecule must declare that it is not, and never has been, a member of any communist party.

The plastic? Well, all of the petroleum feed stock comes from American-grown Rocky Mountain Plastic Trees.
> Doesn't really happen with Openssh.

Who is the big player dominating revenue from OpenSSH? Projects with extremely diffuse benefit like that (or, perhaps more clearly, OpenSSL) do often have a problem here, but that's not what Commons Clause claims to be directed at.

> Or MySQL or Postgres for that matter.

Postgres definitely gets lots of support from significant commercializers of Postgres like EnterpriseDB, Postgres Pro, Citus, and Heroku.

MySQL, maybe not, but a GPL arrangement, especially one requiring copyright assignment, discourages third-party commercial contributions, especially when the owner is actively dual-licensing. Who wants to pay for development of IP someone else can sell more freely than you can?

(Permissively-licensed SQLite, OTOH, has huge contributions for downstream commercial users.)

> With Open Source there are a lot more takers than givers.

By design. There are also more givers than with propietary-licensed software, also by design.

1999 $27,000 Tech Support at an ISP 40 hour week.
1999 $29,000 Tech Support at a different ISP 32 hour week (graveyard shift) then Linux Engineer. $20k Stock that I never took because dot.com :(
2000 $30,000 House Gamer at a net cafe (Oh god I miss those days). 40 hours a week graveyard shift.
2001-2 Unemployed, occasional work still at the $30k mark.
2003 $30,000 Tech Support at a hosting company, 40 hour week.
2005 $95,000 Tech Support at a global storage giant with 3% pay rises year on year until I left. 40 hour week, 1 weekend a month.
2009 $110,000 Team Lead at a small IT Managed Service Provider, 40-60 hours a week. Outages all the time.
2010 $115,000 Senior Backup Engineer at global MSP, 60 hour week with lots of weekend work and 2am calls.
2011 $120,000 Consultant at a small company, 5% pay rises every year. Didn't know how good it was until I let.
2014 $140,000 plus $45k commission Sales Engineer at a US based Startup. Varied hours lots of travel. Usually 40 hours a week. $40k USD stock options vested over 5 years, when I left I elected to not take them because of Australia's dumb tax laws that were changed a year later. Also the startup didn't look like it was going to IPO anytime soon (and still hasn't).
2016 $900/d ($240k/y) consultant (This was Melbourne based so I was paying $500/w in travel costs). 40 hours a week.
2016 $165,000 Software architect at a global MSP 40-50 hour weeks.
2017 $180,000 Director at a big Consulting firm. 60+ hours every single week.
2018 $210,000 Director at a smaller firm that treats people a lot better. 40 hour week with lots of flexibility.

In total an 11.4% year on year increase since I left high school. Sometimes dumb luck, sometimes backwards to get a job that meant less travel or less shit environments. I am not the worlds best negotiator, I tend to ask high and if they push back I retreat quickly, so it only works when I'm up against someone worse.

Yes I've had jobs fall through because the number I asked was way higher than they were prepared to pay and they didn't see any point negotiating.

I don't change jobs for money. The only time I've ever done that was the move in 2005 because they almost tripled my salary overnight. I change jobs because I get bored and want a new challenge. I stayed in the 2005 job for 4 years not because of the pay, but because the sheer number of products and platforms available meant I was always challenged and learning.

I have a family situation that requires me to keep earning lots of money for a few more years as I support others. Once that passes I intend to cut back to 3 days per week work and complete a PHD or similar.
OP here. I wanted to share this because I truly believe that this is the first step towards real world mass Market adoption of crypto currency. Look I know it's not perfect, but it's definitely in the right direction. Making it easy for the everyday person to have a piece of the crypto currency game in the easiest way possible is a positive step forward. I also believe it showcases a pragmatic way to use crypto currency.

I find their incident management times pretty impressive. 2 minutes to detect & alert, ~2+ minutes response, 10 minutes to initial triage, 15 minutes to internal change control, 17 minutes to escalation & public communication, 19 minutes to major incident escalation & broad engagement, 73 minutes to remediation start & further public communication.

Initial triage inside 10 minutes then change control, escalation, major incident, and public communication within another 9 minutes. That's hard to beat with humans in the loop.

I have not tested it with anything else than the Python kernel, but it uses Jupyter Client to communicate with the kernel, which is kernel agnostic. So you should be able to do just “knitj -k <kernel name> ...”.
>> the invader wins by covering distance

> The invader wins by crossing the baseline.

Both are true, but covering distance is a better fitness function because it is continuous and crossing the baseline is discrete (and not just discrete -- binary). Your strategy can make the difficulty rise more slowly than otherwise, but it can't make the difficulty plateau or drop.
This is entirely anecdotal, but my iPad pro from last year handles photo edits (lightroom, affinity) much easier than my i5-powered desktop with a 1060 GPU.

Over on Phoronix, folks seem to have been much more excited about the Talos II by Raptor Computing Systems. They come with IBM POWER9 CPUs.

"The Talos™ II mainboard is the first modern (post-2013), owner-controllable, workstation- and enterprise-class mainboard. Built around the brand-new IBM POWER9 processor, and leveraging Linux and OpenPOWER™ technology, Talos™ II allows you to secure your data without sacrificing performance. Designed with a fully owner-controlled CPU domain, you can audit and modify any portion of the open source firmware on the Talos™ II mainboard, all the way down to the CPU microcode. This is an unprecedented level of access for any modern workstation- or enterprise-class machine, and one that is increasingly needed to assure safety and compliance with new regulations, such as the EU's GDPR. "

https://www.raptorcs.com/content/TL2WK2/intro.html

While also not 100% open, it sounds like a lot more important bits are.

The Talos machines sure are pricey though.

As a (somewhat) senior, I think its very hard to distance yourself from the core belief age == knows more. Its not just mansplaining (although I am sure I do this, hateful though it is) -It's like the human DNA is baked in to assume something which palpably isn't true, and frankly has never been true.

The humiliating behaviour part is simply unacceptable. You might need to talk to HR and ask them to remind senior staffers not to do this, and that annual review process includes feedback on this kind of thing. The problem there being if you can be identified by context, you get all the negativity which goes with that kind of thing.

They sound like asshats, frankly. Is it possible they just need to be told to can the ass-hattery?

Bullies sometimes can't be stopped. They have to be avoided. The problem is that senior bullies are glued in place.

A cheats way out would be this:

actors: Ron, Frank (seniors) and Debby (junior, or disrespected less-senior)

Debby: hey, Ron, I think I heard frank say <theory of debby>

Ron: oh yea, thats true and cool

Debby: hey, Frank, I think I heard ron say <theory of debby>

Frank: oh, Ron, he's a complete twonk. Thats rubbish this is why...

Another cheats way out might be "..I read in Knuth that ..." or "Van Jacobsen said to me that ..." which puts the words into somebody else's mouth.

I read that to overcome the same structural behaviours in the Astrophysics community, some senior astronomers took to asking questions for PhDs because they weren't getting traction, and I have also read that Nils Bohr and others used to commit deliberate solecisms in workshops, to remind people anyone can make mistakes and encourage junior staff to speak out and correct them. Which is kind-of sad, manipulative, but what it says is "this is a problem of some long time.. " oh wait.. sorry.. sorry.. I'm doing it again...
That's not really the idea that I'm repulsed by. I'm repulsed by the bizarre notion that music format eras should mention a political leader for any reason. It's like saying records really started declining after Nixon (or whenever/whoever is most appropriate, I'm not sure of the timing). It isn't necessarily incorrect, it's just categorically wrong to bring that information into the same thought.
"The conventional 20% wisdom can be safely ignored as a relic from the 1950s in the Bay."

Curious what you mean by that - too high or too low? What do folks actually put down?

Anecdotally, I've seen both - I have friends that put down ~40-50% down, have heard of foreign buyers paying all-cash on multiple homes, but also have heard of people really stretching with 5% or 10% down mortgages to afford a home.

GP explicitly called out that there is not just a legal issue of free speech, but also a cultural one. Your response, "but it's legal!" in short, does not address that at all.

Lots of things are legal but maybe not what we want. I'd say a working culture where having the wrong political opinion can get you fired is definitely one of them.
This is completely wrong. You're neglecting gas mixing and the entropy gain of solution.

> I thought it was fairly obvious I wasn't talking about banking

Right, but the article is talking about all use cases of currency... not all of which have customers that care about penny precision. I think we're in agreement that the business use case should be driving the technical requirements, and sometimes software engineers overestimate the precision actually necessary.

Overflow modes aren't always consistent between all your systems either, so I think in practice, fixnums also have issues and the advantage isn't totally clearcut.

> always round prior to display or passing to any other system

This rather depends on how much control you have over the other systems. Since, you're basically throwing away precision every time you round, it's preferable to use floats to pass data back and forth and only round before you display.

I mean in practice, you should be using formatted outputs (whether printf format strings or something fancier) to show monetary amounts, and those should be doing rounding automatically.
I buy political ads as a big part of our business.

This cycle, FB is FAR easier to work with than Google.

I get the sense that FB simply wants to pass off the liability to ad buyer (who signed an affidavit to run those paid for ads... and Vice broke that contract but also probably the law). Whereas Google is giving huge problems for basically all our clients because they seem to be doing manual DD.

Not focusing on whether or not FB should take on this DD, as an ad buyer FB's approach and process is at least 10x smoother - at least for us. I'm not joking. can only think of one odd compliance issue we had with mismatched IG and FB profile names.

Google on the other hand... problems every time. Problems in the approval process to get personally approved (ux and process is horrid) and then they constantly reject ads we submit as unapproved for politics, despite going through this process many many times.
Electronics manufacturing is already some of the most automated industry around, second only to microelectronics. Human labour adds just few percents to the end product's value, it can easily be doubled and tripled without the market ever noticing.

The opinion that it never took of in USA because of Chinese undercut you on labour doesn't hold water. No, automation will not do nothing about America giving you 100 times more reasons to not to do manufacturing there other than the cost of labour.

Ask HN: Was Daisie app successful in its marketing approach?
TechCrunch: "Actress Maisie Williams to launch Daisie, a social app for talent discovery and collaboration."

Maisie Williams started advertising Daisie before it came out, a huge number of people were waiting for it to be released, but after the release, I found out they probably can't keep up with the traffic load so they started to queue up users outside the app, and after sometime I got in and I saw an app similar to Instagram but slower and with a lot of bugs.

Also, they only released an IOS app.

I personally think a lot of advertising energy and potential is going to waste!

Do you think Daisie will be a successful application?
Helium rises. Not slowly. It really rises very quickly. Patients are in beds, horizontal, many also on oxygen feeds. The nurses are standing. Their voices would indead become higher in pitch long before patients were impacted.

If thier voices were rising, id suspect helium but would be worried that some reaction released hydrogen. Same squeeky voices but a serious fire hazard.

Everyone excited about SF Bay salaries - please don't forget how expensive is to live here. My rent is $3K/m (half of my net salary) and that's considered "a decent rate" for 3 bedrooms.

Simple salad or a sandwich will cost you ~$15. Round-trip fare on BART - $11. So just to get to work and eat something over lunch will cost you over $600/m.

If you're offered a job here with relocation - negotiate! If possible - better reconsider. Have a family with kids? Simply forget it.
Seriously, things getting awfully expensive here. Techies are moving to other states in numbers.

I would argue against this idea because:

1. The mapping from Latin binomial to digital code is not a difficult problem if there is a universally used, standardized database of fungi.

2. Human mind does not think in digital code. The name exists for human understanding not for machine.

3. Latin is a dead language that does not evolve. The meaning of a word in any living language (e.g., English) would potentially change over time.

Rather, I think the real problem is that Latin should be revived in the biology curriculum. One does not even need to learn verb conjugation to know what species names mean because only nouns and adjectives are in the binomials.

[TLDR: not the fear of the religion. If you can't control people's thoughts, you can't control people.] People should really learn religion is just a political tool. replace the word 'muslim' with any other religion and you will find many examples of the same- which may give you a clue why totalitarian states do this.

I remember some of that. I didn't really get into the jailbreak scene too deeply, though. Usually, what happened is I heard that some Thing I wanted to do that you couldn't on iOS was available if it was jailbroken -- "tethering," for instance, back before that was added to iOS. I'd jailbreak the phone (which could be really easy or involve a lot of hoops to jump through, depending), and install Cydia, and install the App That Did The Thing. By that point I was usually already frustrated because the whole user experience of the software from the jailbreak side of things tended to be noticeably worse. (I'm sure there were exceptions, but in general, that was consistently my experience.) Then I would discover that the App That Did The Thing was a little buggy and not very well designed, and sometimes didn't even consistently Do The Thing, and I would look around the Cydia store and discover that there was very little other stuff that I actually wanted, and then something would crash in a way that took the whole phone down in a way that official iOS apps very, very rarely do, and I would say "enough of this" and put the phone back in jail.

tl;dr: I tried to be adventurous, but was too impatient. :)

Yes, if you open the file as text you will find the magic number of icc profile (acsp) follwoed by a bunch of random bytes and that of zip (PK/x03/x04). It is quite easy to append arbitrary data to JPEG files [0] and however there is no guarantee that it will survive image processing, so it was necessary to hide it within an ICC　profile. As for zip, unzip will happily decode any data stream as long as it makes sense and ignore the parts that don't.

I can't quite figure out what additional tricks the author has used to disperse the image data inside the body to evade entropy analysis as shown by the binwalker analysis posted in this thread; however image processing software seems to have no trouble parsing the file and extract only the image data without the embedded zip.[1]
