So it does work with card readers (as in SD cards?) but not with USB sticks or external drives?

I don’t really get the distinction. Is it that the card reader only used in photo apps for photo/video storage and an external “drive” should store apps?

Not sure if you are aware of this, but you have to have your TV shows separate from your movies in Plex.

Nope. Had no idea. And no idea why I should, since iTunes has no problem with it. I'm not going to spend six hours sorting 4GB of files because Plex can't read metadata that iTunes can.
The only downside to the NUC is that it maxes out at 32gb of ram. I have the fastest i7 model ($1,600usd) and it's an absolute beast. I offload my compiling and services to it and it handles everything like a champ, gpu stuff notwithstanding. I do hit the wall with some stuff at 32gb so a 64gb option would be ideal. I would never buy a mac to run servers and I would never buy a NUC to replace my Mac workhorse.
One with a lot of people involved and lots of interesting techniques being found on a regular basis. For example, Super Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye, most of the Metroid titles, Paper Mario, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey...

(Though I guess less popular ones can have interesting 'scenes' too. I'm on a Discord for Mario & Luigi series speedrunning, and titles like Superstar Saga, Dream Team and Paper Jam had a lot of neat discoveries as well).

I see that you’re not making any distinction between legal controlled immigration and illegal uncontrolled immigration. I think it’s arguable that illegal uncontrolled immigration is worse, and I’d start the argument by pointing to the condition of various communities in the United States that have the highest percentages of illegal immigrants.
Most likely most of them.

Even if I were to buy a house, most of my mortgage would not be deductible. Only the interest portion of it. None of my home maintenance expenses would be deductible, either. Neither are the ridiculous fees that get paid to the mortgage underwriter, the realtor, etc.

I'd love to only be taxed on 'profit' - the money that goes into my savings account, after deducting living and transportation expenses. [1]

[1] Actually, if everyone were taxed on profit, my tax burden would proportionately go up. It would be a fairer system of taxation, though.
The fact that people still parrot the top 1% idea after it was pretty thoroughly debunked by Joel almost 15 years ago is...interesting.
Interesting. Trade “the planet’s climate” for “plate tectonics” and you’ll find a lot of like-minded Americans, particularly in Congress.
*nix shell prefix-restricted history search?
I've got a question about *nix shells. We all now that "cursor up" usually searches through the history. Do you know of any shell where I can type the beginning of a command, and then "cursor up" will search history only through the entries which start with what I have typed in already?
Actually, the way we gain quorum on what is better for the laymen is an incredibly political subject.
We could have a Chernobyl every year and still kill fewer people than coal plants alone do today.

We'd likely release less radioactive materials into the air too - a lot of current coal plants pump huge quantities of uranium dust into the atmosphere.
Another potential problem with this idea is enhanced corrosion by the molten salt flowing in the strong magnetic field.

The conductivity of the molten salt is low, so JxB forces will be low. But this means there will be a voltage drop across the salt as it flows in the magnetic field. On one side of that circuit, there will be energy available to oxidize the metal past which the salt is flowing.

Now, from what I see, they're keeping the flow rate low enough that they don't produce elemental fluorine on that side. But there's still a voltage there, and the corrosive behavior of FLiBe hasn't been tested, as far as I know, in systems with that extra bit of energy available (nor with that extra energy + strong neutron radiation).
That seems an over-generalization--greed should counts as malice in spirit. [nit: Hanlon's Razor]
This is outside of my normal area of expertise, but from what I gather, the total geothermal power output was around 14 GWH in 2017 [1], with an estimated maximum of 2TW possible worldwide if we develop every spot available [2].

It looks like the current estimates of baseline power lost through plate tectonics from the mantle are 35-47 TW, "from secular cooling, internal radioactivity, and core heatflow across its base" [3,4]. To bring these numbers into scale, there is approximately 173,000 TW of heat energy bombarding the earth [5]. I am not able to find estimates for the total thermal energy stored in all of the earth, as there is decent debate about what the inner 'layers' are made of; however, it seems doubtful that we are making a large impact even on localized regions with a max current output of 14 GW when compared to the 35 TW per year lost naturally.

>if it takes me x years longer to find love/dream job/etc. than other people, then that is x years I will never get back

Sorry, but this doesn't make any sense to me. You will not get back any of the time you spent doing anything. You sat on toilet for 2 mins longer than other people everyday, then you spent months more than other people on toilet over years of your life. This doesn't mean you are going to hurry up and get out of the bathroom faster than you should.

You get what you get in your life. It's nothing to do with what you deserve or what's fair.

If you stop believing in the all powerful entity that will make it fair for everyone and start believing everything happens by a random chance, you would be better off.

Lovely catch! I wish that it had been intentional.
Nvidia hasn't? Looks like the big PR push for the GTX 20X0 has turned into double the price and 15% increase in performance on the average game.

Eviction is a very specific legal process which is different than a rental contract ending. It's what happens if I don't vacate a property once the rental contract ends.
It's unfortunate that the branding emphasizes the bad-to-good popular ratings metaphor. I agree that is a problem.

It is indeed a form of ranking that allows ties and has a limited resolution. But the limited resolution does help with simplicity.

From a UI perspective, presenting a ranked ballot that allows ties is unfortunately complicated. That's what STAR actually could/should be though.

And the tallying method is fine, not wacky. In a sense, it's like Borda Count to get to two finalists and then IRV for the finalists. That avoids all the worst aspects of IRV (which are all symptoms of the way its multi-round elimination ignores the preferences of many voters while counting the preferences of others).
Every single person in the caravan has expressed their intention to follow a fully legal process for applying for asylum? That is good to know, I guess there isn't any chance that they are lying or they don't understand the asylum process.

Thank you for not adding to the false information being pushed by people with money.
> I'm sorry, that's deeply revisionist history. Intel kept their dominance through illegal market practices [0], despite AMD's tech advantage at the time.

While that may be true at the time, it doesn't negate the point that Intel knew internally, long before others, that technically superior solutions where coming.

And, of course, that's exactly what happened.
Both Swagger (Open API Spec) and GraphQL are now part of the Linux Foundation! That's cool!
I work for a dark pool ATS that is hit by HFT firms, and we routinely see flows greater than 12k transactions per minute. Ive been benchmarking a variety of compilers, db libs, drivers and platforms. So far, best perfomance ive gotten, single threaded, is I can write a single order to a man store table in MSQL in about 500 microsecs (that was from a .net core app running directly on the same server as MS SQL, ive been able to get comparable performance from a C++ app running on Linux with kernel bypass network IO). Mind, ive not tried to optimize the DB at all, this is purely comparing DB APIs. Worst Ive seen, all other things being equal is about 800 micros.
Looks neat!
Is there a way to make the autocomplete popup in sublime text look like the original one? Mine looks terrible right now.
AMD is still behind per core in both clocks and per clock performance. Intel has demonstrated the ability to just keep pushing cores to match AMDs largest offerings by just jacking up architectures they have been milking cheap for high margins for years.

TSMCs 7nm node will be the first legitimate tech advantage over Intel and if Intel does get their act in gear and manages to deploy their 10nm next year they will at least keep parity.

I am a huge AMD fan and will almost certainly be considering a Zen 2 build next year (though the fact I can disable Intel ME and can't remove AMD PSP will temper my interest) but thats more to support the underdog and get better value for money than getting the absolute best possible performance.
How is that any different to what I've said?

> Even nationally, you get VAT refunded if you've paid more to others than you've collected.

You do realize that this implies you're operating at a loss? Thus my statement about companies usually being run to make profits.
I don't think those are externalities because the two parties to the contract are the ones bearing the majority of the costs.
It does not actually solve a problem. Ok, I cannot disagree with derefr's comment here regarding text markup. When it comes to serialization... it does not define how to serialize data items. But it has different mechanisms to group them: attributes and nesting. Nesting is usually wrong (one reason is it only works for 1:n relations, so you need named cross references (a.k.a foreign keys in a saner world) anyway). And there are multiple obligatory escaping schemes (quoted attributes, body text, and maybe we could also count tag names and attribute keys).

The hierarchy stuff is so complicated and wrong that I've personally never witnessed a collegue actually using a data schema. Which means data does not actually get validated.

On top of that it is near unreadable. Compare to something simple like http://jstimpfle.de/projects/wsl/world_x.wsl.txt

The whitespace situation is really bad and makes it all also not canonical at all.

People still live in the exclusion zone, and most of it has lower background radiation than high altitude cities people don't think twice about. The other reactors kept operating for years. The Chernobyl exclusion zone was and is excessive. Even if it wasn't, the cost in land would still be perfectly fine even if you had one every year and quarantined each area for a century.

Relatively few people die annually as a direct consequence of coal plant catastrophes. The pollution risks are extrapolated and gradual, just like the much less studied long term risks of non-lethal fallout exposure.
However, Hetzner has apparently been around for 21 years, as I've learned. They actually started doing this before Amazon. It's possible that they're just massively underappreciated, or people had reasons to pick something else over that extended period of time.

A lot of discussion here has pointed out that most people would rather have easy access to managed services from AWS (or GCP, Azure, etc.), rather than hiring engineers to manage and operate their own in-house copies of those services, and I tend to agree.
That might be true but I don't exactly see what's wrong with that? After all by identifying what is going to be financially successful they are very much trying to serve the demands that people have on the market.

If anything not enough companies actually ask themselves if there is a market for their product, and instead spent a lot of manhours on building products around 'ideas', when at the end of the day someone actually needs to buy your stuff.

That last part isn't the side-effect of a business, it's what it's about, and it generally makes both consumers and businesses better off.
these little actions count; changing consumption patterns creates a signal to the market and to politics. a community of practice concerned about the environment, once set in motion, makes it easier to estimate the political gains of passing new laws, like stricter waste disposal standards.

A dedicated minority that genuinely cares about an issues can shift the agenda, even when the majority is largely undecided. When I invite 3 vegans and 7 omnivores to a party, food will be vegan (similar point by N N Taleb). I hope this works out just as well with political parties..
i suppose you're french, because it's the one argument people keep repeating again and again whenever someone speaks about tax reduction: but what about the roads then ?

The problem (beside the fact that corporate tax on revenues is just one tax corporations are paying among others) is :

1/ every single developed country has roads and hospitals and schools. Look at how much they ask for tax and the service they offer (and no, don't believe what people in france tell you. We don't have the best hospitals by far, and we don't have the best schools).

2/ at which point do you think we should stop adding taxes ? Is there a limit, or will you always be able to say "but then, what about the schools and the roads" ?
I agree that it’s a shitty company run by a real life Montgomery Burns. But that whole dispute over the “land grab” strikes me as sour grapes.

Union Dry Dock has been courting buyers since at least 2000 when the Stevens Institute planned to buy it. If it was so important to the city of Hoboken, why didn’t they just buy the land in the intervening decade and a half?

Seems to me that the residents ought to be taking their own local government to task here. It’s like they were holding off indefinitely, under the assumption that they could avoid spending the money, then swoop in when someone else tries to buy it. And then their plan bit them in the ass.
Is B even in production at all?
Great. Another solution for an already-solved, already-standardized query API language (SPARQL).
Depends on if you want to bother setting up Artifactory. The problem with having your dependencies outside of your project directory is you're now relying on a network request and a build step to get your stuff up and running.

It's obviously not right for every project, I wouldn't classify it as default behavior or even a standard behavior. But if you're already using Vagrant/Docker to standardize environments across your entire stack, there's an argument to be made that there's really no need to not to have your dependencies precompiled and local to the project.

If you can get rid of complexity, it's worth considering whether or not doing so might be a good idea. Across standardized environments, fetching dependencies is extra complexity.

I believe investors aim at ownership percentages at Series A mainly for pro-rata.

Lead Series A investors usually get pro-rata rights. Generally, the wisdom in startup investment is to double down on your winners and you typically can only do so if you have pro-rata rights. In other words, if the startup does super well, that VC will likely invest 10x more in real dollar terms to upkeep their pro-rata.

Take 2 pretend funds:
CoolVC has a 20% target ownership and CheapVC has a 10% target ownership. They do their pro rata every round.

Rocketship Corp. will have the following rounds (super simplified):

Series A @ $25M post-money

Series B @ $100M post-money (15% dilution)

Series C @ $600M post-money (10% dilution)

Series D @ $3B post-money (5% dilution)

Series E @ $5B post-money (5% dilution)

Exit @ $9B

CoolVC would have exited with $1.8B + spent $100M (profit $1.7B)
CheapVC would have exited with $900M + spent $50M (profit $850M)

In other words, for an additional $2.5M in the Series A, CoolVC bought an option that would ultimately make $850M more in real dollars than CheapVC.

In the VC world where 1 needle in the haystack makes or breaks your fund, it's an inexpensive option. At Series A, there should still be at least 50X potential upside.

Why do most VC funds target 15-20% ownership? Probably that's probably the most they should get to balance founder ownership through further dilutive rounds. If you look at my above example, remember that founders will probably own less than 36% of the company (they also will get diluted by employee incentive plans).
Why does he need to say that?

We already have the benefit of being able to look back.

Isn't it totally obvious today that Intel had non-Netburst successors to in the pipeline that were superior than anything AMD had to offer?
The architects probably aren't thrilled to have their work presented in this crude way.

HN might feel like architects don't matter too much, which is fine, but what definitely does matter, when it comes to buildings, is how they make you feel. This kind of stunt doesn't help preview that. I'm not sure that it reallys help with anything. Conventional renderings communicate pretty well.

A Lego model would be equally silly and unable to communicate the actual spatial and material qualities of the building.
If they're asking for a cut to shop and help close the deal then they're playing banker. That's the kind of thing bankers do. It would blow my fucking mind if they wanted a cut to shop their own exit. If that's the case you should be profoundly distrustful. Either way lawyer lawyer lawyer.
Because Ireland has signed treaties that restrict its actions? If they don't like the rules they can leave the EU. Sadly for them leaving the EU would also make them less interesting as a tax haven. Choices choices.

Also this is not just about 'taxation policies'. They are pretty free in their policies, except that they can't make exceptions for particular companies because such special deals give a company a competitive advantage, distorting the market.

There is an accuracy score in postgis tiger geocoder plugin. Usually a low value mean a pretty good match. Depend on address format and quality, 70-80% of addresses got a good match.

After all that, they didn't offer me a job - I figured bringing me back for a second round of interviewing must be a formality but nope, they never called back.
What I also find funny is that hardly anyone interviews or vets consultants and contractors the same way they do employees.

I've been brought in as an "expert" on all sorts of things, with hardly any interviewing. Just show up and be given the keys to the kingdom.

Granted I've almost always been able to deliver, but they mostly took my word for it up front.

How would a life scientist coming from Theranos before it became common knowledge that the company was a sham talk about their experience in a culturally acceptable manner? Developing reproducible blood tests from tiniest samples was never going to work, and upper management was actively malicious at that company. We now know where the blame was (with Holmes and Balwani), but if you started there because their projects sounded exciting and then were looking for a new job because the task was impossible and management was crazy you had a problem, and you can't say that in an interview.
