My beef with airplay and pretty much every other Zeroconf based service is that they require weird stuff to work across subnets. Here I isolate every “IOT” device specially the ones that potentially has a phone home capability into a separate network. The wireless network is also segregated and routed. To make everything Zeroconf/Bonjour work I have to create lots of SRV, PTR and TXT records in my internal DNS which is a Samba4 AD. This document http://www.grouplogic.com/Knowledge/PDFUpload/Info/WanBonjou... is great to setup the basics but you will have to find out the specific RR for each type of service.
The recompute of matches is a really nice idea. I had to do it myself with my group of friends and it was a bit painful. I understand the privacy issue of sharing the phone numbers, I will try to come up with other solutions.
It wouldn't expect it to mean much. You're probably just not waking up during your dreams and staying in bed to ruminate over them. Dreams don't go into recallable memory unless you hold onto them when you're waking.

If it bothers you, you can always try sleeping in new and interesting places/positions every night. That seems to be a common trigger for lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, and other unforgettable dream experiences.
If it's "up to" 60 weeks like they offer "up to X" internet speeds, then they're selling the best case but probably delivering half that.

Which of Trump's tweets do you take issue with? That the Mueller investigation is a witch hunt (it is)? That FBI agents were used to infiltrate Trump's campaign in an attempt to submarine it (they were)? That all of this behavior was highly illegal (it is). That foreign spy apparatus (5 Eyes) was engaged to spy in the Trump campaign (it was)? That anyone who colluded with 5 Eyes committed treason in doing so? This is what is really at stake, this is really what took place.

If they don't, our next step is an uprising to right this ship.
Sync problem on android nextcloud app - it was very slow, showed zig-zag pattern on bandwidth usage. That bug was solved but nextcloud app still does not utilize all of bandwidth.

Can not fail and resume, basically there can be months of pictures lost since it resumes, crashes dies, does not resume next time. The android app that is.

I'm in my mid 30s and have had migraine headaches for well over a decade now. The pain is so intense and overwhelming at times tears flow, and I moan in the dark with the only hope that time will pass and it will eventually get better at some point. The headaches occur as frequently as multiple times a week, and can last for a whole day or days on end (the more severe ones are shorter lived).

I go to sleep with pain, and on many days wake up with pain. I have to hold down a job and take care of family, so I put on a wincing face and deal with it. I like to think I can mask the pain well, but my family tells me otherwise. I've tried medicines, injections, and countless remedies over the years and spent a bunch of money on doctors. But there is no reliable cure for me so far. I do all the usual things that people do at my stage in life, I laugh, I play, I go to work and do well ... but I don't think anyone really understands how much I have to kill of myself (my desires, my wish to be in a dark room with no noise and isolated, my wish to sit around and do nothing and just pass out with pain) to get thru each day. That has left me lonely, and a bit distrustful perhaps of people - though I try not to act on that thought.

A few years ago, I tried cannabis. Living in a state where it is illegal was a problem - both legally and with my job. I got a few different strains and experimented with it over the course of a few weeks. When I found the strain that worked, I cried. I cried so much. I was pain free in a way that I hadn't known in nearly 2 decades. I didn't even realize how much and where I was hurting. Apart from my head, every muscle in my body was hurting due to the constant strain of dealing with pain. And it was all gone. Gone. I felt like I was born again for a few days. And then it was over. I couldn't continue with it due to it being illegal. It was then I really understood how immoral having at a minimum cannabis not being allowed for medical purposes is. I don't know if it is a long term solution as I didn't have an opportunity to gather enough data and observations - but surely there is potential. I also didn't have any side effects, with the exception of "the munchies" - which is very real :).
Yeah that's a good idea - will look into it for you
Don't buy any consumables like chocolate or toiletries as they disappear too quickly. If you want the present remembered, get them something that won't disappear soon, and something that when they look at it, will remind them of the time you bought it for them. This excludes clothes as they are ephemeral in nature also.
Amazon is already heading in this direction with Prime Video. In fact they already have different streams you can pay to subscribe to like Starz and HBO and some pretty niche ones like Curiosity Stream that I think is only $1.99/month or something like that.
Service Mesh definition – a modest proposal
Hey HN!

We built Moment because we found that there weren't any other platforms that make user data easy to manage. Each type of user data was in its own silo.

We'd have email/chat in Intercom/Drift, revenue data in Stripe/Chartmogul, demo and sales calls booked via calendly and tied to Google calendar, then the calls themselves would happen over Skype/Hangouts and disappear into the ether. Some support reps would take notes in Evernote, so they wouldn't be available to other reps. For analytics we'd use things like Hotjar, which was again siloed away from the rest of our user data.

Moment is designed to be the single source of truth for all of your interactions with your customers; no data silos. And of course, you can use just a part of it if you don't want to adopt it for all of the use cases above.

I'd be happy to answer any questions.
polkapolka says>"Machine programming simply does not scale....Just try to solve the spam problem using symbolic AI. It will keep you busy (and paid) for a long time, while yielding subpar results."

1. We can scale "machine programming" by making computers faster and more complex,

2. The spam problem can be solved with Bayesian methods (which I consider to be part of "machine programming"): a connectionist solution is not necessary.

Certainly connectionist deep learning is exciting and should be investigated as far as possible but it is only one of many tools. We should avoid being the man with a hammer who thinks that every problem looks like a nail.
So people can judge you by your previous posts.
They bought ads and those ads were displayed. If I print out $10,000 worth of yellow posters at Kinkos, I’m not off the hook for that just because it was a mistake.
Yes, but many times companies will pull unmitigated dick moves and give you 2 weeks, no benefits. By comparison, even 1/3 the stated number of weeks is decent (especially for junior employees).

Still, it’s a cautionary reninder to negotiate significant severance benefits.
In neither case is the person's tribal identity used against them for writing things that others don't like. Orson Scott Card holds a professorship. He just published a book this year. A large corporation made a mass market film out of his book, well after he had been writing things that others didn't like.

The controversy with the poet seems like a different issue, but even so -- Michael Derrick Hudson seems to be in exactly the same place before Sherman Alexie assumed he was a Chinese woman 3 years ago.
I agree. Many organizations want to have their cake and eat it too. They are basically ad-driven and looking for eyeballs. "If it bleeds it leads"

I don't know that I ever really have much faith in the whole "church and state" divide between advertising and editorial but to the extent that was ever true, it doesn't reflect the current direction of many papers. They are leaning in to "native advertising".

I apologize for getting political, but my pet theory is that "the news" is largely to blame for our current political situation because reporting on boring candidates with boring opinions generates less page views than reporting on our current president.

At the same time I'm supposed to put these people on a pedestal and donate to them so that they can save democracy on my behalf.

So is there a function they could be doing that would be important for our democracy? I think so. Are they doing it? I think the jury is still out.

Sorry, I know this seems cynical or "edgy". I just don't believe that a non-cynical view the journalism industry reflects reality.

How many of these companies negotiate? Most jobs are take the offer or leave it. You need to be in a highly desired role or high up in management before you get companies willing to alter "contracts". That's especially true when they have roles they are hiring thousands for and do not want to deal with everyone haven't different deals

It's really not hyperbole I can confirm after being one of the main contacts at a cloud service provider. Marketing can push engineering and allocate budgets. Everything is driven by "Plan Of Record" agreed with marketing. If you need something done you push marketing to add or change the POR.
And while the pay purports to be in US dollars, it's in the form of a prepaid debit card with very low spending limits at non-approved vendors.
>a lack of legitimacy

Well... yes. And I view this as a good thing. The current US voting system is broken and I am not sure it is fixable simply by voting more - that simply entrenches the current system.

I prefer to use illegitimacy and disenfranchisement to spur useful change to the systems themselves. I want to see somethink like ranked choice with an instant runoff, the abolition of the electoral college and a simple one person, one vote choice for president, without dividing people into small groups first.

Reforming the senate is likely also a good idea.

Apathy and illegitimacy are the kindling needed to foster real change.

For someone who claims to like and respect Aaron, you are rather dismissive of him and his "rant".

Your recommendation to find your news, local or otherwise, might have been valid 50 years ago, but it isn't today as most news ( local, national and international ) is owned by a handful of conglomerates who more or less share the same value. Your recommendation is like telling people who don't like facebook to use instagram instead. Ignoring the fact that facebook owns instagram.

I do agree that actual journalism protects democracy. I'd be interested in what you consider actual journalism.

I've found it interesting that knockoff SNES and NES classics are pervasive not just online these days, but and brick and mortar malls. For the unknowing parent buying for their kids, they seem like the better offer, they usually list having hundreds of games rather than the couple dozen with the legitimate consoles. At a glance, they look official, having similar styling to both the hardware and the classic Nintendo box look.
No, they would just tell you that you're lucky to still have a job. Even if they gave you a raise, you just increase your chances of being a layoff target since you cost the company more now. If you are saved from a massive layoff like that, you seriously need to find something new because you are next on the chopping block no matter what.

Its a shame I wasn't lucky enough to be born into wealth so I could just do that all the time.

This really hits the nail on the head.

Since I became a father of three, my time priorities have shifted quite a lot, and I’d rather spend it with my kids than nose in code that should work but isn’t.

A perfect example is trying to get Nextcloud or Lychee working. After literaly days trying to get it working right, I just gave up. All I want is to share pictures of my kids with my family, but due to bugs or config, I have to wade through someone else’s code?

Philantropy is for someone else’s benefit. If it was just at my expense, that would be one thing, but it’s at the expense of my kids too. And that’s something I can’t justify.

You could also explain this with low-level heavy metal exposure, e.g. mercury, as well as a large amount of other possibilities :-)

I thought hard if I should write this, as a joke and only the above line at first, but here it goes. Having read your second paragraph too, that is pretty much exactly what I said to myself a decade ago and before. Then some things escalated a little bit and I was forced to either accept all my increasing issues, or do some research myself.

Turned out I had chronic heavy metal poisoning from mercury. Fortunately diagnosis was made easy because I actually had high levels of it in hair and blood (and urine - same as blood since that's where that comes from). Anyway, the scale of the problem was only made clear during chelation therapy, when both I as well as my (university clinic researcher) doctor were amazed at all the things that improved, including "miracles" such as thyroid normalization (had been enlarged and with a nodule for decades, completely gone within half a year of DMPS chelation, left the endocrinologist speechless, literally, he checked me twice with ultrasound to make sure he had not make a mistake). This issue is next to impossible to diagnose with today's methods, unlike acute poisoning, because how much you see in blood, urine or even hair does not say anything about the size of the problem, it only shows up when it actually moves around the body which it only does after exposure.

I had had dry eyes too, and of course the ophthalmologist as well as I myself attributed it to too much screen work. Today, after years of chelation, I sit in front of a monitor much more than ever before - but now I have zero issues. Same with RSI. Sooo many little things are completely gone from my body, depression too.

The crazy thing is, up to that point ~10 years ago when I had to confront that something was not quite right, I called myself "healthy". And why not? I could run a half marathon just for fun and still come back feeling relaxed. All the many little issues I had, such as a few warts on the feet (more and more over the decades but I ignored the trend), winter depression (many people have that, it's normal!), eye problems (not really severe, so not worth thinking about it) and many many other, my brain refused to think about it. The reality my brain created of my world was highly distorted, but I did not know it. Only the huge and unexpected changes happening after I began chelation (DMPS, later DMSA) showed me the extend of the thus far ignored problem.
