Again you are trying to position this as something new. Humans have dealt with this before. There are plenty of links in this thread here showing how it's been even warmer before yet life went on.

So again it still comes back to the simple fact that neither you nor anyone else have even remotely demonstrated that we should be as worried about the future as many would like us to be.

I am not saying we can't know anything I am saying we don't know what exactly it is we should worry about and whether we should worry and we don't know what the consequences of prematurely doing things like making fossil fuel illegal or focusing on an inferior technology like solar and wind long before they can provide enough energy and replace the current energy sources reliably is the wrong way to go about it EXACTLY BECAUSE there is nothing that suggest that the consequences whatever they are will be cataclysmic which means it's not actually an argument for forgetting about the peoeple who exist today and who also want live better lives, also want to live like we do in the west.

You and others seem to assume that hindering climate change is without consequences for people living today. I have yet to see a suggestion that isn't fundamentally about stopping what we are doing to some extent.
I'm also a little surprised they're raising prices.

They are leveraging(forcing?) their dominance in email to charge more. OTOH, I'm finding their docs stuff to be pretty good these days.
The title says "everything you need to know about networking on AWS". I wish it were this simple.

The article is well written, but it simply represents maybe 1% of what you need to know here. I would have called it "A simple introduction to networking on AWS".
Great point. If you’re relying on self-reporting or subjective evaluation rather than objective measures (and good luck finding an objective measure of race that matches what people think it is) then there will surely be some influence in that direction.
Maybe. I personally had a very different experience [1]

Title of study doesn't correspond to actual study's sample: "sampling White and Black Americans from the top and bottom of the national income distribution" which hardly qualifies as the more general "Americans". I am a little sick of these studies with broad titles to get quoted and actual samples that are not as representative.
I don't have control what goes on outside the VPS, but root access is my proof to my customers that I am not logging. Certainly no VPS is the magic pill to internet security or anonymity.
I have literally never done so. I have, however, mentally blacklisted brands that had obnoxious ads, and I have always had a really low threshold for that determination.

I disliked Java before mostly because of Eclipse. But Kotlin excited me. It does many of the things Java did, but was more beautiful.
Seems like bad choices and lack of research.
Also the govt encourages additional voluntary contributions by allowing a certain amount to be salary sacrificed (paid directly without tax) into super.

This is purely for the pension; unemployment benefits are completely separate. You cannot access your super funds until you reach retirement age or become critically ill.
Well actually that is exactly what I did ... https://github.com/GhostiFi
Interesting, I'm disappointed by AMEX... What about this part?

> this wasn't disclosed in the listing

Isn't that basically "false advertising" or "bought something and got a different item"? I thought credit cards/AMEX would cover that... anyhow, very disappointing.
This does not explain the substantial disparity in outcomes for black Americans of West Indian origin, who were also enslaved, discriminated against, and continue to be on the receiving end of whatever racist attitudes persist in American society.
Anyone got a link to the actual data?

I have a rule that whenever we have a problem or controversy in the US, one of the things we should do is look at what the situation is in other countries, and in particular see if they are doing things better there.

With that in mind, what is physician morale like in other countries, especially Western European ones? And if it is, as I suspect, significantly better, then what is the reason?
That's what I've been doing for years
How did you and your SO start talks about getting divorced?

I’ll answer that for you. It’s insightful.

In the U.S. today, less than 2% of new cars sold are manual now. Automatic gearboxes are well beyond the norm already.

I didn’t understand why you said there will always need to be manuals for vehicles that run on gas... what do you mean?
Then it would make sense to have a model where the agent gets a very small percent up to a certain price, and a much larger percent above that threshold. Does this ever happen?
PHP basically. It's a blunt weapon, simple yet effective. And while using it, it's a lot like using a hammer. There's no emotion, which is not a bad thing.

Something like Kotlin, on the other hand, is so pleasurable that people often make up projects to have a reason to use it. Which is not necessarily a good thing.
Oh man you definitely want to turn off dividend reinvestment in taxable accounts, the tax reporting makes it impractical. Take dividends as cash and then roll that cash into regular periodic contributions (or distributions).
Dropbox hired the creator of Python to help migrate their huge Python 2 codebase to Python 3. It would make sense for them to continue with their investment in Python.
This could backfire. While $2/mo is no big deal, a lot of smaller customers don't actually need the "Business" flavor so they could downgrade to "Basic". Or they could consider moving to Microsoft: $12 per user is substantially more than Office 365 Business (which costs $10 per user per month, or just $8.25/user/mo with 1 year commitment).
He has the "Pwned Password" search to allow you to narrow it down and he has a really good article that he links to explaining why despite its inconvenience.

If I was him I'd do the same. HIBP is a side project of his and I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing I have the responsibility of securing billions of email & password combinations.

At the risk of the breach of those accounts adding fuel to the credential stuffing fire and reducing his overall credibility when providing security advice which is his primary occupation.

Too risky.
There's always a chance of both being caused by the same thing. Genetic profile could be one example of such thing, but there may be other. If you (or me) cannot readily give a full list of possible causes, it doesn't mean these causes do not exist
Any alternative you would recommend then?
Clearly a false point considering how many people immigrate around the world from countries with high corruption to low corruption. There are definitely places in the US where you can enjoy a higher standard of living than Chicago due to local and state government being less corrupt.

And it’s going to get worse. You would be going against basic arithmetic to say the cash flow situations of states like IL/NJ/CT/KY won’t lead to more and more corruption, barring any unforeseen wealth from natural resources bailing them out.

The seller has a contract to pay 5-6% when the home is sold. If the buyer is unrepresented, the seller is still paying 5%. The agent has to do much more work to handle a sale with an unrepresented buyer, because they are representing them. If the seller could not pay this 2-3% because the buyer was unrepresented they would keep the money, not give a discount. Presumably they could find another unrepresented buyer too so there is no reason for the seller to give you a discount over other buyers.
As far as I understand VCs(General Partners) don't hold investment money. They just get paid fees and have a mandate from Limit Partners to invest, so when they want to invest, they just call on LPs to transfer the money.

I imagine each VC fund has a multitude of LPs and they each manage cash based on their own strategies. The key is that they have enough liquid assets to meet the obligations in a timely manner.

Obviously, each fund is set up separately and might have a different structure.
Homie is a VC backed startup replacing real estate agents in Utah and Arizona and they seem to be doing very well. Massive adoption over the last year. I feel pretty confident that agents will eventually be a thing of the past.
Oh, good catch, sorry about that.

If you need to setup some stand alone functions, this is a great way to do it. I run quite a few utility functions like this, they are simple to write and deploy.

If all I want is an HTTP endpoint somewhere, I'm actually not sure why I'd want a serverless container when a stand alone .js file does the trick.

For that, you just need the velocity vector not to be in the very narrow class of vectors that point back at you. There's no need to put it in "galactic neutral", especially given that, as I said, that's literally the worst possible speed to get anywhere. That's just one possible choice from the almost-every-possible-vector selection set that will work to disguise your origin.

Of course, we also have the question of why you would care to disguise your origin for a "space probe" traveling at such a slow speed. (Pretty much every conceivable mechanism that could have something traveling at any appreciable speed and that slowed it down anytime in the recent past would be very easily detectable. Of course you can invoke inconceivable mechanisms, but as I often say, you have to understand you have left rationality and logic behind when you do that; if we're going to say this object has a magic drive that decelerates without any detectable emissions, we might as well ask why it's not just using an FTL drive, or why any alien civilization is bothering to "probe" us when they've long since landed at Area 51 and have long since been running our civilization anyhow as our secret leaders.)
Information Theory Applied to Death Note (2011)
imo, it's better to get a longer post that provides motivation and idea behind the redesign. Slack just told us the reason why they're doing it -- for consistency -- but doesn't explain how they landed at their symbol at all.

I am a developer in a big company that acts as SMSC. We work with hundreds of operators around the world. The explanation in the article is way better that all internal documentation combined we have in the company.

I wrote algorithms to convert 8bit to 7bit and back as some our customers require that.

One thing that strikes me about SMS is that most people think SMS is secure and offer great privacy. It is not. The messages are not encrypted, and from the technical perspective there is no way to prevent SMSC from reading your messages.

Your lab only has to pay grad students $7,500 a year? Seems like that might be the number that’s out of whack in the equation. To be fair, I live in the Bay Area, where $7,500 only gets you like 3-4 months rent.
"We defeated him on the wall, we'll defeat him in 2020!" Yes, I have had the same thought for the last week or two. I'm no fan of Trump but I'm also no fan of Pelosi. These are ultra wealthy people playing games with each other at the expense of Americans.

No portage isn't a meta-build language something like premake would be but the premake implementation is pretty broken. Portage also does a mess of shell `use foo && FLAGS+='--foo'` which is a mess of state that needs to be tested for every combination which per branch options could fix.

In hindsight, it's a shame that Google didn't put more resources into their productivity ecosystem and create a single, tightly-integrated app.
The slightly annoying thing here is that I already use a password manager, so while the impact to me is minimal, I wish I knew which password specifically I have to rotate, instead of assuming that I need to rotate, like, all of them...
The bigger concern should be that databases like MongoDB and Redis are part of an older breed. The newest databases, built to handle the most demanding load, like DynamoDB, Aurora, or CloudSpanner, are intimately tied to the cloud providers they're deployed on, for legitimately necessary reasons. As the world gets more complex and demanding, this old model of "I've got a server, lets put a database on it" just doesn't scale, even including these "web scale" NoSQL databases like MongoDB.

No one beside AWS (or Google or Microsoft) is even capable of building databases to meet these new challenges. For now.

Cost plays into this as well. DocumentDB is so cheap because it is built on the Aurora storage engine, which in turn is intimately tied to the infrastructure. MongoDB Atlas can't compete with that. They have to charge you more because they can still point to the servers that your database is running on. An Aurora database might be spread across a dozen different servers and services within AWS, taking up just bits and pieces of processing on each; the parts of Aurora that need lots of storage are on machines optimized for that, the parts that need compute are on machines optimized for that, they're all connected with terabits of networking, and those pennies of savings turn into hundreds of dollars at scale which they can pass on to their customers.

Google did the SAME THING years ago with Cloud Memorystore, which exposes a Redis API. Microsoft did the same thing with CosmosDB, which exposes a MongoDB API (among others). Why? Its because the fundamental tech that MongoDB built isn't good. MongoDB is so unbelievably uninteresting to Amazon. Why would they even want to contribute back to it? If they adopted MongoDB wholesale, they and their customers would be worse-off for it. The only people that would win is MongoDB.

But they are interested in the API, because that's what their customers are using.

The license is a red herring. The real reason Amazon did this is the tech. They now have the Aurora storage engine and DynamoDB, which they can put any API they want on top of and it'll be cheaper, more performant, more resilient to failure, and easier to scale than taking "Database of the month X", throwing it on an EC2 instance, and calling it Managed.

And the reason why we're seeing this centralization is because Amazon made the investment in Infrastructure while MongoDB just wanted to build a cool database. Didn't Alan Kay warn us that if you care about the software, you have to care about the hardware? Did we really believe that this only applies to consumer experiences? Amazon didn't. And that's why they're winning.

I'm interested that it doesn't mention the nonlinear junction detector, but I'm no spyhunter or anything and maybe that's an obsolete piece of equipment now. After all, there's certainly a lot more innocent transistors and diodes out in the world today than there were during the cold war. Also I'm not sure they're legal for just anybody to use since they vomit so much radio interference.

Hmm one year and a half before separating we recognized that we needed to improve our "romantic" life, some stuff was tried from both sides and ultimately we decided that we didn't see each other as "lovers" anymore but only as friends and it would be for the best to not try to be married anymore.
Often the operating business is floated and the vendors keep the buildings, this is nothing new and much more endemic than appears.

You're only just seeing an article on this behavior because a high profile tech company is doing it rather than a factory or a shop.

To each their own, of course. I happen to like it a lot, but I'm still surprised Debian chose to use it as well.
I believe it's more a matter of perception of the Democrats refusing to compromise than it is about a wall. Sure, there are some Republicans that hold the wall as an important single issue, but the vast majority of single-issue voters that I know don't set their allegiances based on that particular one.

From where I sit, this is a matter of the Democrats preferring to put the brakes on everything rather than give on this one, individual issue. Further, I don't think that the majority of Democrat legislators are opposed to "the wall" at base - they're opposed to Trump and his policies in general.

It's a game of chicken, as others have said. Whichever side gives in cannot expect to get their way on anything for the next two years at the very least.
Another angle is that Airbnb also carries differentiated inventory vs. a completely commoditized good. If you are booking a guys ski trip vs a romantic weekend vs family reunion you are looking for a unique property. Airbnb, as the largest player, is most likely to have differentiated inventory, and therefore, the first place someone looks. So as a two sided market place, Airbnb has more value.
I don't foresee this changing anything for ships. All modern vessels, both commercial and for pleasure, have auto pilots and they are used extensively.

The primary job of a captain isn't to drive the vessel, it is to basically be a project manager ensuring that the vessel is running smoothly. This includes everything from crew schedules, maintenance schedules, supplies for the vessel, quality control of procedures, and on and on. The actual piloting is a very small part of what they do.
It's almost like... you get what you pay for. If you don't want weird stuff happening, don't skimp on price and go for an actual hotel.

I drink at least a liter of water to help keep the feeling of hunger away. I learned that if I keep the meal small preceding the fast I don't struggle during the fasting day. Sometimes even if I follow all these rules I may feel hunger regardless after hour 21.

I'm not the best person to ask about energy levels because I take a medication that depletes my energy so I'm drinking caffeine a lot to stay energized. I can honestly say the last hour is the real challenge after doing it this long.
I am interested in solving the basic problems with energy which means finding a base source that fulfills the following 5 parameters: Cheap, plentiful, reliable, scalable and clean.

Only Nuclear solves that today but there is a huge anti-nuclear sentiment by the environmental organizations and thus politically against nuclear which of course is absurd as that's probably the only energy form that actually can deliver on the no-emission promise which is the one everyone claims to be so worried about.

I have nothing against wind and solar but they are just inferior to nuclear and hopefully in some distant future fusion and in a less distant future thorium but the current sentiment makes that even more filled with friction.

To give you an example of the absurdity.

This summer the weather was amazing in Denmark, the result no wind which in a country largely based on wind energy means they are relying on other countries to provide energy in this case Germany. Germany who also had a great summer and has been focusing on solar.

What happened? Germany used coal. And now that they are closing their nuclear powerplants that will only increase and is a good example of the consequences of a ideologically driven rather than a rationally driven energy policy.

Thanks but no thanks.

This is exactly how the US federal government is designed to operate.

The reason that it's such a harmful thing right now is because the federal government employs far more people than it was designed to employ.
