That being said, you don't need to provide your real identity to sign up; in fact, you're encouraged not to. So, it's a lot harder to identify a particular user.

Switzerland has _extremely_ good banking privacy laws so they can't be required to disclose credit card details, so that's an identifying link not available to Five-Eyes. Plus, you can pay in BTC.

I'm not sure about what's required for a company in Switzerland to be compelled to share information with Five-Eyes but I expect they would have to be ordered to by the Federal government; a hard feat given how privacy friendly they are, and how the Cantonal government of Geneva have additional privacy laws.

I play games, and rarely get time to finish them. So I usually have a hard drive dedicated just to game installs. Then I have disk(s) for storage of code, pictures, ebooks, music, etc. My boot drive is usually 250 GB or 500 GB, but I use numerous TB drives.

I had a lot of issues with >2 TB HDDs in terms of performance though before, and generally avoid them.
I agree. I am 46, and my wife was joking a few years ago that we're living a retired's life. (I'm working from home, but at a rate that's about ten times the local average, so it's pretty much whenever I feel like it.)

Complete freedom is amazing.
Although the tailored results have been useful, I think I still like the days back when you needed search operators. I was once looking up stuff about electrons (the particle). A plain query of electron only returned results for the framework on my first page. Understandable.

The other annoyance is the lack of Wikipedia results. For a general topic, I like to have a few pages to chooses from about the topic in addition to Wikipedia. Rarely are Wikipedia results in my organic listing unless I specifically add wiki or Wikipedia.

By the way, this[0] is how to search your query.

Because more and more negative mass fills in the space left behind by the expansion creating further expansion?
I agree with the "Docker on Windows" thing. It is just a waste of time. If you install Ubuntu in a VM, then run Docker in that, things go so much smoother. "Docker on Windows" is just another way that Docker damages its own brand.

Another trouble I have with Docker is that it seems to be a way to make a small change to a file burn 5 GB on disk, network downloads, etc because you can't compose arbitrary layers. If you need to update an early layer you need to update all the layers on top.

I was shocked when I realized it was that bad but I think the overlay file system is hard from an operating systems perspective. I guess I should have realized that having so many overlay fs implementations mean the number of good implementations is zero.

You really should be able to install rpm/deb software packages just by putting in the appropriate layers.

I guess cloud providers like it for the same reason Sun liked 2-byte chars in Java.

Long before many Docker users were born I would get hundreds of web sites running on a server with a 2-second deploy time. It's almost a secret that if you can configure: (1) the place to put files, and (2) the database connection you can host a large number of web apps on one machine. I've
set up servers that have cruised with 200+ web sites with no maintainance.

I think Docker has taken advantage of people who don't have much experience and don't realize how easy it can be if you have discipline.
Hi Dalan

I am very much interested in the Integration Engineer position .It aligns with what I currently do and what I want to do in the future. I have applied on stripe.
> Rust isn't a "simpler Agda" either.

Calling Rust a "simpler Agda" is a bit insane. Rust simply has a sensible, current type system. Agda is full dependent types.
One of my favourite professors was a Jesuit priest. During a class on Christianity, he was asked roughly the same question. His reply was so good that it is still stuck with me, over twenty years later.

Paul said, "Well yeah, that might make sense. But, what if the real purpose of scripture is so that god can teach us to get along with people whose scriptures appear to say something different?"
Continuous API Management: Making the Right Decisions in an Evolving Landscape
The article seems to me to have lots of information on hiring and very little on scaling. In my experience hiring is one of the smaller problems in scaling, the largest by far is how you avoid massive drops in individual productivity that if unchecked come with large teams delivering complex functionality. It's a technical problem for engineers to solve more than it's an HR or management problem.
The metric of "net (negative)" is nonsensical on a multidimensional question, due to varying utility functions.

Faceboot directly optimizes to increase time spent on their site, wasting human potential.

Faceboot also provides an effortless way to check in with loved ones after a disaster, easing human suffering.

Two people will look at both of these facts, value each one differently, and come up with a different "net".

Furthermore, it is not appropriate to give Faceboot all the credit for either facet! People could check in with text messages, and people would be in dopamine loops even with software purely under their control.

So the only thing we can really do is discuss each facet independently, in the context of first principles / morals.

I personally think much of what is wrong with Faceboot is due to the conflict of interest from a third party mediating social relationships, and the inhuman scale of centralization. But the more that comes out about inherent social media narcissism, I also see that there is no silver bullet.
This title is a bit misleading. Is there any chance we could get "in California" added to the end or is it already at the max char count?

First of all, avoid losing it. From what I've read, bad business deals and shady investment managers are the easiest way to lose money. It will be easy to think, at some point "I'm an engineer, I'm smart, I can do this investing thing"

Nope. Index funds are your friend, with reputable institutions, covered by some kind of fraud insurance or regulation. (I don't know how the latter works in your area, but see how your money is protected)

Let's say there is a market crash and you lose 30%. You're still set for life, and it will come back as the market grows. But bad deals, fradulent advisors: they can take 100%.

Do nothing fast, and avoid telling people you have money. Your life sounds nice, this will help you avoid changing that. You have plenty of time, and a wonderful gift that will make the rest of your and your family's life more comfortable :)
> Could you Honeypot the cars wake up signal? If the car detects a delayed broadcast of it's wake up signal it could trigger an alarm or at disable keyless entry. The high frequency signal will have lower tolerances for a timing check.

If the repeater is directional / shielded on the side toward the car, I'd think it would be impossible to distinguish echoes of a repeated signal from normal echoes.
That's not how a real clustered primary key works, because "the changes are not clustered.".
Also not a physicist.

AFIAIK the "dark matter & energy might be negtive mass" idea has popped up before but has been dismissed because our current observations show that it's gravitational effect isn't lessened by the expansion of the universe.

He addresses this in section 2.3.1 by adding a "creation term" to balance universe expansion with the creation of new negative mass, but that just seems like a dirty hack to me.

Albeit, the cosmological constant was a dirty hack too, so that doesn't really necessarily discount anything.

Is language a barrier in both personal and professional life ?
>Probably it's not that easy to replace Lisp for something else at Google, since it implements a relatively complex search engine core. Thus it's still used.

Thanks, makes sense.

>At Viaweb Lisp was used for an early web store maker (enables people to have their own webshop) implementation.

Yes, I had read PG's article about it ("Beating the Averages"). IIRC the templating language they used in ViaWeb, which allowed customers to customize their stores, was a killer feature, and relied heavily on some Lisp language feature, maybe macros.
Russia is probably the best bet, not China. No extradition and pay FSB their share, and you may have the best chance on earth to get away with these things.

Debugging web applications with networking tools
So in that particular sense, it is even stronger than ownership, at least in terms of preventing facebook from ever becoming the owner. (Not in the sense of having all of the rights usually associated with ownership, which include selling)
Affirmative. An example: our office is in a landmark building a few blocks from Strand. Couple years ago there was a leak on the roof. While fixing, they found absestos, which they we're required to remove. But, because we are a landmark building, the facade had to be put back exactly as it appeared before the work. The construction took a year longer and was significantly more expensive than would have been without landmark status.
Yes but while we don't have the unification between QM and GR we don't have the full picture.

Postgres has led the world in trash-talking other databases for 22 years.

I used to call it CrashGreSlow back when Mysql was maintained. Postgres had a manifesto which trash-talked Oracle but it was not a reliable product at that time. Maybe the people who said it was fast were running it on ram disks with fsync turned off or something.

After mysql got bought by Sun and put on ice, postgres caught up with the hype and now it is pretty reliable. That wasn't always the case.
Send Noncompete Agreements Back to the Middle Ages
Many sane minds would argue that, but the ACGME is actively arguing otherwise. They are actively building rules that allow residents to work longer shifts (up to 28 hours straight) while claiming these rules improve patient safety.

Patient hand-offs between shifts tends to introduce errors. Instead of finding ways to improve hand-offs, the ACGME is simply trying to have fewer of them.

These are supposed to be some of the "top minds" in medicine and that's the best they can come up with.
if you hire people that won't do bullshit job over and over, you end up with a organization that doesn't have that kind of problem.

You can see this happen in places that have layoffs every now and then, or that hires a dozen contractors for each fulltime employee. When that happens, you have people doing automation job while hoarding knowledge of which button to press, then you get to the point you describe.
I think it is more than that, libxmlrpc++.8.39.dylib missing in my case I guess
There is a Constitutional right to "keep and bear arms," not to purchase them free from fees and taxes. You have no right to "keep and bear" something you have not yet purchased.

Additionally, it's not "a" right, it's "the" right. The text of the Constitution recognizes a pre-existing right. "We look to ['the historical background'] because it has always been widely understood that the Second Amendment, like the First and Fourth Amendments, codified a pre-existing right." District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 592 (2008).

Just like the pre-existing right of free speech was scoped so as not to provide immunity to suit for libel, the pre-existing right to keep and bear arms has never in its "historical background" been described as prohibiting purchase-time taxes. You're wholly inventing that aspect of the right; you'd have a stronger argument if we were talking about yearly personal property taxes levied on firearms.
Yeah, we replaced the old Lisp-style List implementation with a different implementation a while ago: https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/d0b4399d81f39dec...

You can still see the Lisp heritage in a few places, but overall I wouldn't say Postgres is "literally lisp in C".
Although it didn't land as they wanted, primary mission is still success. Also the booster is in the sea and still transmitting and will be recovered, but only be used for internal spaceX missions. Unfortunately the live spaceX webcast tuned away from the failing booster. But Elon has given his word it was wrong to tune away.

The issue is apparently with the hydraulics system of the grid fins that had a problem. It was nice to see that the gimballing engines recovered the spin before the sea landing.
You know what, it's a great idea to both reduce usage and create a terrible black market that brings far more harm than the original problem. Regulating vice is a very dangerous road to travel on. Your good intentions pave the path to hell.
they cannot misuse their legal powers, as parliament is Sovereign in the UK.

Facebook took the risk by not complying with the wishes of a sovreign state, and that state then takes legal action against facebook.

facebook arrogance in this matter is staggering, and by some could even be seen as a direct confrontation with parlaiment.

If parliament did not respond, it would look weak and in some sense even delegitemize its sovereignity. If they backed down on facebook's apperent arrogance, what is stopping other companies from trying the same.

Let's not forget mark zukerberg was summoned before the parliament. Ofcourse he could decline (mainly because he is not a UK citizen), but being summoned is quite a big deal considering they (uk parliament) is literally asking you to come over and explain what your doing..

don't be suprised there are rammifications when a state asks for your presence, and you arrogantly decline it.
Very nice, we need more of that.

I drove around San Francisco for 3 hours looking for a free parking spot. I eventually found one, in an absurdly wealthy neighborhood. We stopped just to stop and rest for a bit, but obviously by that point we were not going to walk all the way to the restaurant I had intended to visit. They lost my business. I ate some old snacks out of the trunk of the car.

No wonder there are traffic problems. Lots more parking is needed.

BTW, self-driving will make this far worse for traffic, although better for the businesses. The car can just drive around while I visit the business.

I would argue thats an issue with your architecture at that point - you may want to use table partitioning at sizes that big, or have some other mechanism in place to be able to lock access while updating such large data sets in one go.
That money has to come from somewhere; I'd happily pay for Firefox but most people wouldn't and it's not cheap developing a browser.

Their outreach, web literacy, and STEM education work is also not cheap and is doing amazing work.

It would be nice for them to list two or three VPNs they've audited though. Their endorsement goes a long way for many people and we would still have a choice then.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Rise Like a ‘Speeding Freight Train’ in 2018
Personally I'm using firejail (and drop Chrome since few months) so... In any case the problem of modern browsers is that they are monster with a so big and so "closely developed" codebase that even if open no one, perhaps many devs included, really know it enough. And the trend is more and more to add features...

Oracle scales horizontally perfectly... even up to hundreds of cores, it runs just as fast.
As you say you stream your videos. Now imagine getting that shiny new 4k video camera and start storing raw footage even after you have edited it. Rough ballbark of 120Mbits/s ==> 15MB/s ==> 900MB/minute ==> 54GB/hour. This is why I keep adding more and more disks to my NAS.
I use these Faraday cage pouches for my new car keys (I got the two-pack listed "Amazon choice" in the above link) and they are excellent. As far as I can tell anyhow - my car hasn't been stolen (yet!) and if I keep the key in it's pouch I can neither open the doors or start the engine even if I'm right next to the vehicle.

An added bonus, it also makes the keys much more comfortable to have in a pocket, holds them in a fairly flat orientation - and stops them from scratching a phone!
Yes, and I cried when I saw the bill.

FWIW I much prefer Postgres to Oracle, but not because of the technology as much as the price.
I’ve worked for dozens of enterprise companies. Support means support.

It means that anyone in the company can ring a vendor 24/7 and get the best quality help on the product. It means your outages are smaller and less frequent. You usually can’t get that with a generic open source product or from smaller companies and it’s especially an issue issue in non-US countries where it’s often impossible to get decent support.

I’ve never once seen a company sue a vendor or vice versa.
Have you ever been to Europe? People just don't use cars when visiting most cities there. They walk, take a bus, use an Uber.

I live in Montreal, and it's the same when tourists come here. They may drive to the city, but they leave their car parked the whole time. (Side streets out of the center have some free parking. Commercial arteries and downtown core is paid)

Sure, you could have more parking for cars, but you might not have more people. And with too much parking you destroy the city you want to visit. Edmonton and Calgary have plentiful parking, and no ones goes to visit them, except as a stopping point to see the wilderness around the city.
What you describe is called defensive driving, and it should be front-of-mind for everyone who gets behind the wheel.

So did this change? I installed Messenger recently and this is pretty much the first thing it requests (no thanks). It also asks to let people search for you by number (no thanks) and to sync with your contacts (no thanks, smells like LinkedIn).

I have zero permissions enabled for Messenger, so I guess it would then ask before uploading my call logs?

I tend to think of George Carette's SIOD Scheme interpreter when I think of "Lisp style C":

LISP difference(LISP x,LISP y)

if NULLP(y)
return(flocons(-FLONM(x)));
else
{if NFLONUMP(y) err("wta(2nd) to difference",y);
return(flocons(FLONM(x) - FLONM(y)));}}

Of course, that's a Scheme interpreter, so it might be at least a little expected.
