I've been to Ryan's house. he has a basketball court in his basement. I'm sure he paid himself a lot more than $100k/yr as some point. (not saying he doesn't have every right to)
Last time I checked NYC still had a massive affordability crisis.
I do wish the smart reply could pick out the intended recepient's name, or have the ability to pick it off of a drop down / additional three options. I can see people considering smart replies to be inauthentic, but all I need to say is "Thanks X!" or "That's great X", and get back to whatever else I was doing.

The four maxims in the article are really spot on.
The real question is who will pay for testing drug safety and efficacy.

Take Auryxia which is literally ferric citrate. Its used by kidney patients to control phosphorus levels and boost iron. Why did it take so long to get tested and approved as a drug when the formula was "open source" for a long time? Well one company did the time and effort and suddenly it is considered a valuable drug. The value came from proving the safety and efficacy and someone has to be willing to fund it.
So, 2 or 3 years ago I did just that.

And it was flakey as f*ck. It rebooted itself roughly once a day, and would stop routing traffic to my fibre modem and need manually rebooted at least once a day.

The Openwrt support forums were... not helpful.

All this was such a shame, because the Openwrt feature set is so much capable than the stock firmware - I so wanted it to work, but had such a bad experience I haven't gone near it since and it will likely stay that way.
I use C directly when I have to, my preferred setup these days is embedding a more convenient scripting language in C.
You’re welcome, mainstream academic communities do a different job, though. I can see the long-term benefits in trying something technologically novel to accommodate a fully interconnected IoT planet but I am not paid by IOTA to evangelize, so, again, we will see what happens.
I hate to break it to everyone, but the technology to filter this sorta thing has existed for a very long time, but people often don't use it.
Most of the time this sort of thing is accidental (IE: operator error)so a lot of operators kinda ignore it.

What you mean with "distinct" and "communist"?
Ugh, I feel like this is a common and overly simplistic take. While it's definitely true that GDPR is harder to comply with if you're doing a ton of evil shit or selling user data, it can definitely be quite onerous to comply with even if you're not.

The company I work for (Teachable) is a specialized site builder for course content. We make all of our revenue from people either paying us directly for a plan, or transaction fees on people buying from our customers, no ads or data selling. Nevertheless, complying with GDPR still took well over a month of some of our best engineers time. Even if you don't sell data, the odds you had a plan prior to GPDR for how to handle right to be forgotten - how do you delete PII (which is defined broadly, including ip addresses) from db backups without ruining their integrity? If you use something with an immutable log, like Kafka, how do you remove the data there? Etc, etc
But even if I put up a static image with the audit the artist get way less from YouTube than from Spotify. I don’t see why that should be the case.
HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) owns autonomy.com which redirects to their website. They paid $11.7 billion USD for a company named Autonomy in 2011. HP was forced to make a $8.8B writedown on the purchase already the following year, and today nothing but the domain name remains at HPE.

WW1 was monarchies (professional war-makers) still thinking war-making a major wealth gaining activity. 100 years ago they were proven horribly wrong, and ultimately triggered their extinction. After WW1, world learned that industrial activity had taken the crown from war-making. This brought WW2, socialism and democracy to world scene.

But within next decade world would realize that democrats/socialists are temporary elites filling the vacuum created by the global transition from monarchy to technocracy. This is why there will not be a WW3. Because those who are competent enought to make big money, are making it in tech. There will also not be a global resource war because such mega needs are $$$ opportunity, you can bet there are future-$$$onaires working at this problem this very second.
If all the apple shops in the world will get that tool, you can assume anybody capable of a hardware backdoor will also have access to it and a way to use it without raising flags (presumably the tool will phone back home for authorization).
But then why do you need the DNS/hosts file hack? You can issue a self-signed cert to localhost/127.0.0.1, put it in the user’s trust store and call it a day.
Nobody brought out chemical weapons in World War II, though both sides had them.

Sure they did. They were just used on civilians instead of regular combatants. What was Zyklon-B, chopped liver?
>On a less positive note, the assessment of the deployed cryptographic design led to the
discovery of certain issues that must be addressed in due course. One was rated
“Critical” because a malicious vault could obtain and modify organization items. This
approach relied on MitM attack described in BWN-01-008. The overall code quality of
the crypto implementations was deemed to be overly complex and frequently
misleading, which led to reporting a false positive issue (see BWN-01-011). More
generally, cryptographic libraries of the Bitwarden compound have not yet been
optimized. They particularly need to be simplified as unnecessary complexity can lead to
problems.

>To reiterate, the results of this autumn 2018 assessment
are positive for the client and code. Sadly, the same thing cannot be stated for the
current cryptographic scheme in use. Given the number and range of issues discovered,
it seems necessary that a re-design takes place. This needs to reassess how certain features are implemented and ensure that the overall cryptography stands strong
against the attackers’ efforts.

Um. Is this not worrying to people?
Love doesn't need to be returned to be fulfilling. I love nature, but nature will kill me if I'm not careful. Nor do I have any idea if that beautiful, healthy blue pine over there thinks of me the same way. I still love it.

Inherent to "loving" is the ability to balance your connection to a thing with the limits of your boundaries and trajectories. It's that old saying, "if you love something, then let it go". If you love something, you also have the understanding that it lives its own "life", that you cannot control it and that it cannot control you. So, in loving, you'll have to accept that the thing which is loved is not you but is itself. You cannot encapsulate it.
They'll inspect, but the buyer will always do their own verification.
The answer to "How were people able to afford the technology of the 80s and 90s that were made in developed countries" is that many of them were not able to afford that, and did not, especially in poorer countries.

The number of households having such devices was much lower, in large part because of the cost; devices such as home computers, laptops and smartphones changed the world not when they were invented but when they became cheap enough to be really widespread; when you could buy a Japan VCR or USA computer without having Japan or USA levels of income, which the vast majority of global population don't. If we lose the bottom of the market with the cheap smartphones, well, then hundreds of millions of people worldwide would not have smartphones.
So let's say they release their source code - how can they possibly prove that their servers are running that same code?
I can't really call this cheap. $90 to try some experimental mouse is a bit high. I do suggest people try a few different mice but I can't see myself picking up this one. Not enough buttons for my needs either.
Not really. Vimeo shows that you can corner niche markets successfully.

Profitability and growth aren't dependent on market dominance, even in tech.
Europe just can't stop making dumb regulations to punish American Tech giants. They created the stupid cookie law and now half the sites have an annoying cookie notice ... and nothing got better. GDPR is shaping up as a boondgle that is either going to be (is) ignored or result in blacklisting Europeans. And now this poorly thought out regulations will continue this 'winning' streak.
I am but a humble observer of this universe begging, borrowing and stealing pearls of wisdom from greater beings that came before me.

The material universe has never been, is not and will never be perfect. Let go!

Moreover, every atom in the universe is ever changing. When you look at your reflection in the mirror, by the time light bounces off your face, reflects back into your retinas and registers in your brain, your body has already changed! So what is it that you are calling "me"?

The actual process of doing something has to be enjoyable. At best the final result can be icing on the cake - but you have to love the cake first.

Hope you find peace and enjoy life OP - its a boon!
Given this says it's in beta, can anyone see where I can report a bug?
Very worrying to me.
Khan's piece was incredibly interesting. I learned a ton. It's long (100pp or so) but full of great info, not at all difficult to read. I highly recommend checking it out.

It's my understanding that the Chicago School types were not impressed, but that was probably to be expected.

Not the person you asked the question of, but I think there are reasonable anti-globalist positions that don't have anything to do with superiority. A sort of Ludditism could do. And I actually do think people can be strongly attached to identity without a belief of superiority.

Couldn't non-democratic societies be nationalist? Was nationalism off-limits to Imperial Japan, for example?

libh2o is a library, h2o is a full fledged webserver using libh2o. They are both made by the same people and released together.

Having all the core features in a library allow any developer to use libh2o to easily add a webserver to their program.

Convenience >> security for most people, unfortunately.
In the grand scheme, many things are surprisingly unimportant. This too will pass.

If you’re in trouble and you can’t seem to get up, reach out and get help. There are people who care.
True. Though, how soon is "soon" for TDM desync?

I think most people, if you asked them to describe how weather affects a cell tower, would describe them as working in basically the same way that Iridium handsets do: "clouds in the sky, signal goes bye." I.e., the signal would be "choppy" on the interval of milliseconds, with packet retransmissions covering it up up to some tolerance level, but failing entirely and instantaneously if the weather was bad enough.

I imagine they would think this, even though they know intuitively that cell signals are more robust than that in practice. They don't know why they know that, and they've also been taught something that conflicts with that knowledge, so depending on which order their jumble of thoughts comes to mind, it might go either way.

(Also, something I'm curious about, as a tangent: now that atomic clocks are getting cheaper, are cell towers using them to add fault-tolerance to their precise timekeeping requirements, in the way that e.g. undersea-cable head-end switches do?)
Yes, most likely you're kremlinbot, spreading FUD around.

Movie by the 'top anti-Putin Russian director' is called
"The Magnitsky Act. Behind the Scenes", not "The Magnitsky Files".

The support for claims "effort to bury that film" or "top anti-Putin director" is on you though.

Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox
Yes, by disillusioning yourself that any of those things matter. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what god you pray to, because prayer is personal; doesn’t matter what nation you call your own, because emigration is easier than ever; and doesn’t matter what colour your skin is, because it doesn’t define you.

Obviously all that is easier said than done, but really if you stop letting any kind of tribal attachment define you as a person, life becomes a lot simpler.
That was before they started printing money from the App Store.

What Keeps Credit Investors Up at Night: Here Is the Latest BofA Survey
It sure did. It took us about a minute to fully fail over to AWS, and we are running there now for the rest of the day. We will promote GCP to be the primary cloud again tonight.

Without our multi-cloud set up we would have been down for over an hour. In our business this is not an option.

> All of these requests are all fully encrypted in transit to DuckDuckGo, such that nobody else but us can see them. And like with all other requests to DuckDuckGo, there is no personally identifiable information embedded in them, and we do not store IP addresses associated with them.

They say they don’t Store IPs, but every request presumably has one. So it would be very easy for them to change this if they so wished, at which point their data collection wouldn’t be anonymous. As much as I like DuckDuckGo, I’d really like it if I could trust that they protect my privacy without having to trust them that they are doing so.
This article does appear to conclude many points on the premise of nationalism and it’s varied outcomes. Nationalism has only existed for not much more than 200 years which is not very long at all compared to all of human history. In the USA we are given this notion that these ideas are a solid foundation but I tend to think that America is very young and most national concepts are still very experimental. It will take much more time to figure out what is really going on here, what the goal is, and how to cope with it all. That may be the cause of a great war just a worldwide upheaval of imposed thought much like the Napoleonic era where the concept of monarchies was challenged again and again. In the transition from Rome to the Byzantine empire it seems religious and cultural freedoms were challenged during that period. If we all woke up one day and realized something very ingrained in our world is wrong then change would take place hell or high water. Much of the intrinsic message of nationalism is a dissolution of multiculturalism refining it into a set of rules which cannot be argued with by literally drawing lines in the sand. The only thing that used to matter was the town a person was from (e.g. last names with the name of that town or region). Today we create so many large homogeneous groups based on borders the rationality of favoritism and hatred becomes absurd. Maybe we are at the end of this serving much of a purpose after all so it’s time for a much needed review complete with unresolved baggage from an earlier time. I would like to get off at the closest stop before things get too weird personally.
It uses an older version of Pagespeed, yes.

Even if they're completely non-virtuous, how that can justify stealing from him and attempts to jail him?
For anyone who likes Adam Zamoyski, I include several very long excerpts from his other book here:

http://www.smashcompany.com/philosophy/poland-was-shockingly...

When I started dating a woman from Poland I decided I should learn something about the history of her country, and she recommend Adam Zamoyski to me.

I was surprised to learn about Poland. When I wrote “Poland was shockingly liberal during the 1400s” I was expressing my discovery of Poland’s experiment with democracy, which every Pole knows about but few other Westerners know about.
Minio is a really interesting piece of software to play with. The docs have some fairly important pieces missing, and the scale-out/resiliency capabilities are mostly missing (deliberately I think, guided by the way the authors describe it's intended uses). As a result it ends up more of a toy/dev tool than something to rely on for persistent 'home production' backing of services.

That said, for transient development purposes it's perfect. As an on-prem replica of object storage/S3, it's tantalizingly close but not quite there. Maybe it's improved in the last year or so since I last used it...
>The same person who will buy the cheapest meat without considering how the animal was treated will also vote for stricter animal welfare laws.

A more expensive meat says nothing about how the animals were treated. Maybe it just means some business owner is making more money from it. Voting for animal welfare laws is much more impactful.

The title of the paper is really misleading. The comments here are even more misleading. The key is their theorem where they say "with high probably over random initialization". They initialize many times and sometimes it converges. Single initialization can stuck in local minimum of course.
Military spending around the western world was in line with what we have today (single digit %) before Nazis started the arms race.

This sense of increased morality was also present around WW2. German jew hatred was never a secret, yet few anticipated the scale what was coming. And even after the war it wasn't until the 70s before the horrors of the Holocaust really entered common public awareness.

Some of that perception today is a result of censorship too. While most realize China is persecuting the Falun Gong few realize it goes into a million with a significant percentage murdered. And now China seems to be doing a similar thing with Muslims, albeit no reports of mass murder yet.
If we go to war with China I'm sure this information will go from relatively embargoed to an important element of justifying the conflict.
Sorry, the 90s were a real time, and the ambition to replace the desktop OS was already there, as per the ~1995 Bob Metcalfe quip (popularized by Marc Andreesen) that the Netscape browser would soon reduce Windows to "a poorly debugged set of device drivers".

There was a bit of a lull in progress in the mid-2000s, after the fall of Netscape Inc, until the rise of the mobile app threat you mention.
Not yet. The plan is to use LDAP for this, but it hasn't been tackled yet. https://gitlab.com/NickBusey/HomelabOS/issues/20

Regarding multiple users, it really just sets up an admin user for most services. Any multiple user support is then up to each service individually. But if you're asking if it does automated separate instances of services for different users, then no, it does not do that.
IIRC, Google can try to dictate a BGP policy that says not to accept any routes that goes through China. However, without any verification checks (via cryptography), an entity can lie about the path that they are advertising.
They're 'A' type people that need to push the limit and (for better or worse) don't let things get in their way. The personality type can be very destructive and I agree that things like climbing everest are pointless these days, but it will continue because these people exist, and every so often that drive contributes to something good for humanity.
> One of the mysteries in deep learning is random initialized first order methods like gradient descent achieve zero training loss, even if the labels are arbitrary

Can someone expand on this? I've never heard of this before, at least not in the general case.
I'll point you in the direction of Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning: https://www.brainpickings.org/2013/03/26/viktor-frankl-mans-...

Or, if the memoirs of a holocaust survivor's search for meaning are too heavy, you can find watered down business book variations in Stephen Covey's Principle-Centered Leadership, or a more mystical variant in The Four Agreements if that's more your thing.

Some examples of ideas from Frankl's toolbox borrowed from existentialist thought -- one that you might find to be applicable is his idea that in the gap between any stimulus and response, no matter how terrible of a situation, every human gets the opportunity to make a choice -- and thus we can always maintain our freedom in this way. Keeping a positive attitude in the face of cynicism-inducing circumstances is one such choice. Or another tidbit he borrows from Nietzsche: He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. Maybe you're just crabby because you have not yet found your life's purposeful work, which it seems like other commentators have suggested as well.

The way I see it right now, the world is yearning for competent bullshit-free actors. With the recent existence of light-speed communication, it's only due to inertia that all the rent-seeking bullshit players haven't yet crumbled into dust. Hope you can find a way to use your past experiences to be a positive force in the future. Aaron Swartz, rest in peace, would have admonished you to fix the machine, not the person: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/nummi
Yeah agreed. As a js dev any search that isn't limited to 1 year is pretty much useless, but 1 month isn't enough.
