The issues I had were that, first of all, Plex server wouldn't run on my ARM-based Synology, and then later, I think there was a build for it, but it didn't have the horsepower to transcode, and it seems like it ALWAYS wanted to transcode things.

I've also tried running Plex server on my Win7 HTPC with the volume mounted over CIFS, but I had various issues with that; for one, having to reindex the volume means I have to either wait 15 minutes to watch something I just procured, or manually login and force a refresh which is annoying when I just want to browse files. It's been awhile, but I have tried a number of approaches (including Plex server on OS X) and none of them were satisfactory. Furthermore, I could never figure out why any of it was preferable to simply having a media player read files from a network store and play them. I don't care about "album art" type stuff; I don't download/store/play hollywood movies or music, so those features would be irrelevant even if I cared about them in general.

The one nice thing about Plex is I now have a few friends sharing their libraries with me over the internet. It's a cool feature, but I'm only using it from the client side, and I typically forget to even consult their libraries before paying to rent content.

Each detector has a limited range. And only works well in certain mediums, generally water or water ice. Even if the Moon was solid ice, we would need to surround it with detectors, as well as drill a huge number of holes all the way through it and place detectors (probably hundreds of thousands or millions) in each hole.
No one else in GIS school actually remarked upon my choice of seating. I was just struck one day by the fact that most other women sat as far in the back as possible most of the time. One or two women floated around a bit, sometimes up front and sometimes in the back.

It struck me that the female VIP said something in part because it was a "Pink Collar Ghetto" department in a company with an excellent track record for diversity and inclusion. When I got the job, the department head of my department was a woman. She retired shortly after I came on board and was replaced by a man. The two second in command positions were held by one man and one woman. When the woman retired, she was replaced by another woman.

So this was the last place I expected anyone to act like there was something noteworthy about me sitting up front. It was a female majority department with lots of women managers and other women in high ranking positions and you would think this would be one place where no one would think anything at all about a woman sitting in the front. Yet, here was this VIP woman remarking on it in front of everyone.

I gave up my car while working there. My apartment was about a 7 minute drive from work. It was about an hour walk. There were about 2000 people in the building I worked in. I rarely walked for more than 10 minutes before someone offered me a ride.

This resulted in a de facto informal survey where I would make conversation with the person who had picked me up and I would talk about having two special needs sons who had never held paid jobs and blah blah blah and they would express pity for me "Oh, you poor thing, you walked to work and worked all day to support the family and now you have to go home and cook dinner." and I would go "Um, no. I will peel and chop vegetables and go in the bath. When I get out the bath, dinner will be served to me. My oldest son does the cooking and dinner has already been started." And they would dramatically change their tune, from pity to envy.

This was a Fortune 200 company for part of the time I worked there and a Fortune 500 company the entire time I worked there. It was the largest civilian (non military) employer in the city at the time I was there. When I made small talk at eateries and people asked me where I worked, just telling them the name of my employer basically got oohs and aahs. Some of my coworkers had spent years trying to qualify for a job at the company at all.

So this is a sampling of arguably some of the best, brightest and most empowered women in the world who are not outright nobility or wealthy celebrities, who just have a job. And the vast majority of them still did most or all of the "women's work" at home. The fact that I didn't was quite unexpected and often met with shock and sometimes a lot of defensiveness.

I mean, not to dismiss your point. I often find it valuable when guys on HN say "Yeah, they do that to me too." That's often been enormously helpful to me. But, given the larger context, I'm pretty confident that this specific incident -- this remark by this high ranking woman -- was an expression of broader cultural expectations and sexism.

It's interesting that you chose the term "sweeping generalization". It almost always carries a negative connotation. In fact, it's considered to be a logical fallacy (see https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFalla...).

No, but communicating clearly and honestly is important, even in casual conversations.

Yeah, I agree. I do research on things very closely related to voting systems, and my first thought is approval voting. It's basically rating with two options, approve and disapprove. Has good properties and is relatively easy to understand and implement, especially in the age of social media.

People seem to get fixed on ranked choice voting versus plurality voting (the current system), and what we really need is a movement to change the voting method to something more accurate.

But it's puzzling to me why the discussion seems to highlight ranking rather than approval voting. The only argument I've really heard against it is that people would get confused and not realize they can vote for more than one person. But it seems to me in that case you've just re-implemented plurality voting, and people would figure it out well enough. Just put out a big public ad campaign. People would learn.
>Anytime you're working on a rooftop or on a tower, your risk of falling to your death is not zero.

Okay, but I'd still be interested in:

a) A measure of death risk to the general public, i.e. people not directly involved in the production of the energy. It's important to distinguish internalized vs externalized risk.

b) A measure that accounts for the potential cost of preventing these deaths. That is, one that could capture insights like "source X and source Y currently have the same death count per kWh, but it would cost half has much to achieve a 10% reduction in deaths from X compared to Y".

The ratio of internal/external deaths would hugely effect the measure in b) -- it's much easier to stack on measures that can prevent deaths if they're employees of the provider than if it's the general public.

And so, on a), I would guess that measure for wind power is really hard to distinguish from zero.

I'm using a 17" 2010 at work with an i7, SSD upgrade, and 16Gb of RAM and its plenty fast still. At home I've got a 2010 Air that begs for more RAM yet still runs as well as when I bought it including 3+ hours of battery life depending on if I am surfing or writing. 2010-2012 was a high point in Mac laptops.
I'm sad for their misfortune but arguing against nuclear won't do any good for them, on contrary as this article states nuclear is safer than the other major energy sources. A family is a small sample size too. Of course we should also look into other studies of the energy sources total effect on humanity, to be sure. I think we have to see the big picture and not focus on our bubble.

I see an analogy to car and plane safety when comparing coal and nuclear safety. Car accidents are more frequent and damage can vary, while plane accidents are seldom but often severe. It is difficult to foresee the future, but we have the past that give us a good indicator of what will save most lives.
STIR and SHAKEN use digital certificates, based on common public key cryptography techniques, to ensure the calling number of a telephone call is secure. Each telephone service provider obtains their digital certificate from a certificate authority who is a trusted authority. The certificate technology enables the called party to verify that the calling number is accurate and has not been spoofed.

The problem is there's still the opportunity for corrupt CAs to sign "legitimate" phone numbers for illegitimate purposes and for that matter for spammers to simply sign up for new phone numbers as fast as they can get them. This doesn't stop Totally Legit Homeopath Enterprises from still calling me every 5 mins even if the caller ID reads "TLH, INC." which will mean nothing to me.

Much like many people simply block IP traffic regionally, we'll end up with the same for telephony and block all numbers from corrupt CAs. With rare exception I don't need people calling me from land lines any more - almost all phone calls are cell to cell. And on a cell phone there are plenty of opportunities for our phones to handshake and establish an out of band trust.

Frankly I think at some point this problem will be solved or at least mitigated for cell phones and land lines will die a slow terrible death. In fact when Apple, Google or Signal/Whatsapp/whatever solve this I predict a mass exodus to the app or platform that whitelists trusted callers only. Although with Whatsapp that "trusted" will be in air quotes as I'm sure advertisers will have the ability to purchase their way past a block.

Regardless, I have zero sympathy in all this for phone companies as they've done nothing to solve the problem.

Are you listening, Google? Want to make Duo happen? Whitelisted + trusted callers only. Otherwise Duo will be the next Google+.
Personal image classification and management.

A lazy way to solve the fact I drown in my own photos/videos/screenshots/etc on a daily basis and don't really have time to sort through it all.

All it would need to do is group images. For example, tell concert imagery apart from pictures of friends or scenery. It could infer a lot just from the dates on the imagery, and group accordingly.

Bonus points if it can then sort through a particular group and suggest the highest quality images of the bunch based on things like focus and exposure.

It's really all the mistakes that even proponents of IRV are making about how it behaves that really keeps me up at night. I'm not convinced voters understand the system well enough to vote optimally. This effect and how it results in bizarre strategic voting is enough for me to consider IRV to be worse than FPTP.

> making new laws to solve problems that don't actually exist yet

> but over here we tend prefer for the government not to swing its weight around until there is clear evidence of a problem.

There is clear evidence of a problem: SF banned scooters to give itself time to figure out how to regulate them: http://www.sfexaminer.com/companies-pull-scooters-off-sf-str.... There is no reason to think SF is particularly unique and that other municipalities won't have similar experience.

And even before SF banned scooters, there was clear evidence of problems with dockless rentals in China: sidewalks became bike parking lots with little room left for actual walking.

This idea that governments should only regulate if there's a manifested problem in their particular jurisdiction is pretty stupid, frankly. It's like saying you shouldn't make up your mind about crack cocaine before you've actually tried it and experience the problems it causes.
So we need 4400 persons falling off a roof to be par with nuclear power plants. I still consider this ratio a much better outcome than a power plant going off anywhere near (radius to be defined in Mm depending on wind direction).
You see the error here? You write an amount in an invoice, the customer pays you. From that, the taxman demands his percentage later on from you. The only way to reduce the amount you have to pay is by buying stuff. Nowhere in the process is the customer paying two parties.

It's just lexical. Would you say 'oh the company is just routing its income tax to the taxman' if companies had to put their income tax percantages on invoices too?

The client however pays you 10 bucks in gross regardless whether the VAT you have to pay afterwards is 7, 15 or 25%

Of course not identical...I am only guessing but AWS must have tons of in-house chips tailored for networking/routing, let alone the design of their data warehouse...
XML conflates a bunch of stuff (XSLT, XPath, Schemas, namespaces, etc....) making it overly complicated

Then it has 3 different sets of data, elements, attributes, content. In other words <a c="foo">bla<b/>bla</a> is mess to deal with. Now replace the "bla" with spaces and assume <a> is supposedly only supposed to have <b> as a child except really it will have 3 children, the one before the <b> and the one after.

I think this is why JSON won over XML. It seems like all those extra features on XML would be a benefit but in reality they just give you more places to hang yourself.

HDFC appears to have truly terrible security, someone managed to sign up with my email address and a really weird mailing address - like an airport warehouse or something, then proceeded to fill up the card and never paid it back. I emailed HDFC about it but they never responded.

Bitcoin is a practically insignificant part of the climate change puzzle.

All of these "We must stop Bitcoin to save the environment" articles that have been popping up kind of seem like sour grapes.

Also, amount of energy expended is directly proportional to price (x block reward) - if you want to reduce Bitcoin's emissions, short it hard!
It's an extremely selfish country. Some people are less than others and deserve less is exactly the mindset in USA now.

HN appears to have a more highly paid engineer out-of-touch with financial reality user base, it's not everyone, and I don't think they're doing it on purpose, but it's certainly noticeable. Even on my barely-enough-to-live wage in Seattle it's tough to not find myself forgetting the struggles of people lower in class than I. Workers rights are not popular here, and I'm guessing it's because engineers and higher paid people are often treated pretty fairly and have workplace freedoms the rest of the workforce could only ever imagine in their dreams.
It is but you need both a big hunk of mass and a way to detect the neutrino interactions inside it. Ice Cube is shot through with detectors. One of the OG detectors measured the particular isotope created during interactions.

None of these are much of a practical option with the moon.
And it still has real USB A ports so you don’t have to hop your audio interface through a C to A dongle thing. Though I don’t know if a C->A adapter is just rerouting wires, or has circuits with their own latency - either way, it’s a bit of mess you don’t need with one of these.

(Assuming you use a typical USB A audio interface rather than something more exotic)

FWIW, I also do electronic music, though just as a hobby.

Bash can do that, with Ctrl-r. Press Ctrl-r, then type beginning of command, then press Ctrl-r repeatedly to go back through history.

My initial thoughts were womewhat similar. Raku when there's already a Rakudo? I guess the reasoning is that they don't want to impart some special status to Rakudo, but they might as well if it's this close. For the last few years I've actually been of the opinion that if they were ever going to change the name, making it Rakudo would make the most sense. Just make Rakudo the reference implementation of the Rakudo language (the language formerly known as Perl 6), and call it a day.

Actually, the more I think about it, using "Rakudo (the language formerly known as Perl 6)" as a descriptor would probably do the best job encapsulating what it is succinctly. It was a continuation of Perl, but now it's its own thing. As opposed to "Perl 6", which doesn't really convey how radically different it is.

I'm not really one of the "Perl 5 needs to reclaim the Perl 6 name" camp, even though I'm a full time Perl developer and have been for close to two decades. Perl 5 will do what Perl 5's going to do, and freeing up the Perl 6 name won't help all that much with that (it's not like there's enough changes worth making a Perl 7 from, and a purely marketing driven name change would just be laughed at). It might actually be more beneficial to Perl 6.
Seems like a losing battle (for the Girl Scouts suit) in 2018.
My favourite story about the construction of IceCube relates to the drilling of the holes to deploy the detector. They used two types of drill, which melt the firn (compacted snow) on top and ice lower down. One is a sort of conical heat exchanger, the other circulates water through a Big water heater on the surface.

In the early days of South Pole Station (late 1950s), supplies were airdropped in - the cargo planes of that era couldn't land on the snow and going overland was very difficult. Many of the parachutes wouldn't open properly, and so lots of supplies (including a bulldozer) and parachutes wound up buried in the snow. South Pole slowly accumulates snow, so that debris has gotten deeper and deeper below the surface over time.

Of course, the holes required to build IceCube had to go deeper than those supplies, but the drill can't go through things that don't melt, so in some cases the holes had to be moved off the nominal grid. According to the story I heard, one of the holes ran in to a bunch of meat, which floated to the top of the bore...

How are these incompatible stories? Worldwide ozone destroying chemical production is way down, which is allowing the ozone layer to regenerate back to pre-industrial levels. Meanwhile, some polluters are cranking out banned CFCs and freeriding on the worldwide reduction efforts.

Much like CO2 production, some level of emissions are well within the ability of the biosphere to deal with without harm. But if everyone emits willy nilly then we'll end up well past those limits.
Hrm, my experience is quite the opposite. I can read a 2000 page manual which will take weeks because there's no way I can concentrate on all of it and where I probably still won't actually find the answer to my question which is an edge case OR I can just try the edge case and see what happens.

If I knew exactly where to look in the manual then the quote might fit but it rarely does.
I don't think you understand the point I'm trying to make. All energy sources have dangers, but nuclear has the least danger in proportion to the amount of energy it gives. A few large disasters are not inherently worse than many small disasters. Just because nuclear disasters create a more dramatic scene than other types of disasters, doesn't mean that the overall harm is greater.
