The individual banks seems to set the fees (card owner is charged) Most banks charge a yearly fee (~25$) (free transactions), though some banks charge as much as 1NOK ($0.12) per transaction on top of that.
I'm not sure I'm in your target audience--I guess it depends on where you set your bar for "spam".

5 of my last 100 emails got red, and the rest I don't intend to read. The unread bunch falls into these categories:

- Notifications of activity in Jira or Confluence (I go to the apps directly, so I don't need email notifications)

- Mass communications from HR, marketing, the CEO or some other entity that is too-many-hops away from my team to ever have anything relevant to my job.

- Meeting invites to meetings I attended anyway due to a conversation I had prior

- Servers letting me know about errors that I already expected due to conversations I had prior

- People telling me that some server I don't care about is down or up (presumably to stop inbound complaints)

- IT related communications (ex: new wifi password) from our parent company that aren't related to our site

About a year back I abandoned e-mail and only check it if somebody mentions something. So far I haven't missed it. Same thing with news. For both of these things I find that my meatspace social network already contains what I need (we also use slack pretty heavily, so the real work related communications happen there).

Yeah, maybe I'm out of the loop on some things, but it's hard to get work done in the loop.
I never heard of anyone disputing his Visa / MasterCard payment in my country.

That's probably because people pay online only at a very limited number of places they trust, and it's easier to solve issues with the local merchants directly.

Another reason might be, that many online payments are made via direct bank tranfers / SEPA, which can be both, fee-free and instant, across the entire EU.

Essentially, everything is based on trust. Nobody puts his debit / credit card details into a form of a website he never heard before, and nobody risks his business reputation if he has managed to earn it.
I don't see this as hypocrisy any more than someone accepting a tax cut via policy from a politician they voted against.

In fact, if anything, what Brexit has shown me is that there is one side that only sees things in black and white. You can be against something as a whole but in favor of some parts of it. The EU is a great example where many who champion Brexit may be in favor of shared economic benefits and against not-strictly-economic political costs.
I have to confess what I know about Paradise lost comes from the movie Animal House.

Bad companies try to manipulate perception rather than fix problems.

Good companies fix problems and let perception take care of itself.
> Just because they happen to be an Apple user doesn't mean their status as an Apple user is relevant to your inquiry.

Sure it does, the OP I was replying to is already an Apple user and said he'd be willing to pay more. He is already paying a premium price, so the question of how much more premium is he willing to go has everything to do with him/her being an Apple user.
Crow-sourced data being manipulated? I'm shocked! /s
If he didn't care about the UK then why would he vocally support a Brexit? That's a clear contradiction.

To put it another way, I can argue for a better business environment in my home country while simultaneously having all my business in a country that actually has such an environment.
A lot of people seem to have forgotten that many 2012 retina MacBooks had bad screens. Mine did. Mine also had problems with USB or the bus it's on cutting out, causing the internal keyboard to stop working. Most of my internals were replaced for that one and it still happens occasionally. Overall it's still a good computer which is why I continue to use it.

Apple has had quality issues for much longer than most people realize. It keeps getting worse.

> This would be like calling Shakespeare's importance into question.

Reminds me of one of my favorite New Yorker cartoons: two people walking out of a theatre showing a Shakespeare play, one saying to the other, "I don't know what the big deal is. It was just one cliché after another."

Once something is so deeply embedded into the fabric of a culture, it becomes the equivalent of "do fish know they are in water?"
The Remainers are desperate to portray this as hypocrisy by Sir James Dyson. It is actually the opposite. He has been moving more and more of his business out of the EU and UK to Singapore over the last 10-15 years and moving the headquarters is the final step. It is a ringing endorsement to what global free trade can do instead of protectionism, over-regulation and misplaced political projects such as the single currency. And Singapore was consistently held up as an example of what Brexit Britain could be like. Sir James Dyson has given up on Britain because, all things considered, he realises it will be many more years yet until a Clean Brexit is realised in the UK. And even then, it could be decades - judging by the displayed ineptitude of our political class - for the UK to catch up on the head start that Singapore has for high-tech.
> I was around in 1985 and if I had proposed using "an eventually consistent schemaless DB" to tackle a bank or a manufacturing project I would have been laughed out of the room.

Medical record systems were running on MUMPS (schemaless) and being eventually consistent (records were keyed in from paper forms) long before 1985.
Ugh couldn’t they just put magnet links on their nice HTTPS site? It sounds like they just really don’t want to have to update their site when new releases come out.
Former company found out that they had more or less solid negative ratings on Glassdoor. The next day heads of HR and Marketing went around to every employee and stood behind them and had them write up a positive review of the company.

This was couched in: "It's not a bad place, these were just disgruntled people. Don't you want to be a team player and help out the company?"

Place has since cratered under the weight of its poor management.
New study casts doubt on planet nine hypothesis
I don't agree; hexadecimal requires being able to identify A as the tenth element of the sequence of the natural numbers.

Normally, the numeric symbolism that is attached to A is the concept of primality, firstness, not tenth-ness.

Consider: "Grade A", "A-1 Contracting Co.", "Type 'A' personality", "AAA stock"...

A is not just being the usual A in hexadecimal.
In my head it wasn't negative, it was that there are a lot of reasons that I don't think needed to be gone into. Offering value is one, having systems that are designed to minimize the impact of failures is another. Others that came to mind when I wrote that include: Being able to get them at the quantities they need, having systems that reduce the COST of failures (drive replacement and RMA), cost of RMAing 10 drives is < 10x the cost of RMAing 1 drive, having drives available in the SIZES Backblaze wants. And there are others I could speculate about but don't have as concrete information on (vendor relationships, manufacturer relationships, marketshare, firmware quality/suitability, temperature).

Maybe it's just my social/business groups, but "because reasons" doesn't have to have a negative meaning. I use it as more a statement of fact: There are reasons for this.
Step away from the bong for a sec and reread what I just wrote.

>"Ms. Jacobson took credit for the campaigns on her LinkedIn profile, writing that she executed “company-wide employer branding campaigns” on Glassdoor, increasing the number of reviews by more than 1,000, raising the company’s overall rating to 4.4 stars from 3.8 and resulting in SpaceX landing on Glassdoor’s “Best” list two years in a row.

Ms. Jacobson didn’t respond to requests for comment. She removed the reference to Glassdoor on her LinkedIn page in mid-December after being contacted by the Journal."

So they used a shitty website to boast about an "achievement" that they carried out using another bullshit website. Meanwhile the same HR department is probably ghosting and flaking on candidates. That sounds about right.

When I first used Gitlab on SmartOS it was a pain to upgrade manually.

I more recently used Gitlab on Ubuntu using their omnibus package for Ubuntu and the upgraded over multiple versions to get onto a later version of Gitlab. The upgrade process was a lot smoother (no fighting to build gems on SmartOS and patching all over the show to get gems and other dependencies to compile).

I also did a MySQL to Postgresql migration. You have a bit of downtime with the process which chef sorts things out post upgrade of the omnibus package. I did turn the unicorns and disabled ssh logins while I was upgrading the omnibus package just incase something went wrong during the upgrade.
Your argument proves my point. He's doing it entirely for his own selfish reasons and not for the good of the country.

Agreed on the thinness part. I'm halfway expecting a bendgate scandal for their laptop lines.

However, the 10-12 hours of battery life is kind of misleading. To get that, you have to be doing the absolute minimum on the laptop. Doing anything graphics related requiring the GPU to kick in means your not going to get anywhere near that time.
you've got your sequence of events wrong there:

- 2003: moves his manufacturing base of the UK/EU

- 2016: says we'd be better off outside (like his manufacturing base is currently)

- 2019: moves legal HQ (and two jobs) outside of the UK
All my servers do an update and dist-upgrade every 24 hours, and it emails me the log. I saw this post just a few minutes after checking the log for today.

I imagine that this is a higher risk for virtualized servers in a public cloud. I use Linode, so somebody else could have set up a Linode to MITM everybody and serve the exploit. If it were a private home or corporate network, somebody would either have to be on your network, or on a piece of major infrastructure between you and the mirrors.

Is there a way to tell from the apt log whether I am affected? It looks like you can see it trying to install an extra dependency package. Anyway, the logs are not immutable or verifiable, so if somebody got root they could theoretically kill apt, write a fake log in its place and then email that to me...

I took full images of all my servers a few days ago, so at least I have those should I need them.
You would be sued, probably successfully, into oblivion. The terms of service [1] for Glassdoor are pretty clear that you agree to not:

Introduce software or automated agents to Glassdoor, or access Glassdoor so as to produce multiple accounts, generate automated messages, or to scrape, strip or mine data from Glassdoor without our express written permission;

Copy, modify or create derivative works of Glassdoor or any Content (excluding Your Content) without our express written permission);

Copy or use the information, Content (excluding Your Content), or data on Glassdoor in connection with a competitive service, as determined by Glassdoor;

Interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on Glassdoor or the networks or services connected to Glassdoor;

Now, since reviews are public information and not hidden behind an authentication wall (i.e. no account signup required), there is a compelling argument that you can scrape the website without having technically agreed to those terms and conditions. In particular, the robots.txt [2] for Glassdoor does not disallow automated crawling of the /Reviews/ endpoint. But this would still likely result in a protracted lawsuit, even if you ultimately win.

Interesting read. Thanks for posting! It reminds me of a simple find the equation (symbolic regression) problem encountered in genetic programming. (see Koza's first genetic programming book).

I suspect that this is substantially more important as a differentiator, because they directly facilitate interaction with customers.
He's probably a hypocrite though his reason for supporting the Brexit seems to be around additional EU regulation that squashes innovation. The belief that we are in a time of oppressive regulation is rampant so he's hardly a epicenter for such thinking.

As far as his vacuum design, the Dyson engineering team is superb. Their motors, electronics, programming and bagless designs are miles ahead of anyone else in the industry.

The dyson ball and canisters are lack luster in their class and use cheap engineering gimmicks and too much metallic painted plastic to win over big spending shoppers. The true success story for Dyson is the "motorhead" cordless vacuums. They are skookum.
Been there, done that. However things changed, a lot. If you are not constantly posting (and pushing and click baiting) your posts won't be very visible anymore.

The way to get in front of your audience on Facebook is money and that is rather expensive and due to amount of ads users have to experience these days only minimally effective.

There are millions of websites, thousands at least specific to any niche, that are happy to take your ad money and provide you with highly effektiv and targetted traffic.

This is not only cheaper and more effective but does help the actual Web by financing content providers.

Likely because the Ottomans booted out the eastern Roman Empire and adopted many of its structures either explicitly or implicitly ("because that's how they do things here").

I've been told the same is true of the Roman Catholic Church (many people have told me "The Church didn't change Rome; Rome changed the Church) but I don't know enough about the RCC to know how this might be true (e.g. I'm pretty sure there is not a Praetorian Guard; the Swiss Guards are hardly the same thing, and are modern)

Other people have given more detailed answers, but those tend to be less accessible. Sometimes, questions are far more interesting and accessible, so as an introduction, ponder the following: why is mathematics so effective at describing the real world?

Perhaps its effectiveness means that reality is itself mathematical? Or perhapd it means that math is actually physical? Or perhaps neither?

Hopefully you can see that exploring such a question is neither a mathematical or a scientific endeavour, but it is firmly in the philosophical realm where it should be.
Curious if anyone knows how they calculate drive days. For example the first drive on their report (hgst 4tb) has a count of 50 but total days of 23069. If I take the 50 by the days it should be 18250, so not sure where the extra 4k in days is coming from. Retired drives or something?
Not anymore. The primary effect of the Trump tax bill was in fact to massively increase the number of people who will claim the standard deduction, due in part to a large increase in the deduction itself as well as the introduction of the SALT deduction cap.
Furthermore, many tests for adhd also work as IQ tests, meaning if you have a loq iq you are more likely to get a lower score, and bice versa. I remember one of the tests for adhd involved response time to visual stimuli and how fast a person responded. Response time has a direct correlation to IQ.
> and needs to be supported by a rising share of taxes from a small number of young workers

And here is where it gets funny. I wonder how pension systems would look like if they were supported by the billions of dollars that especially FAANG but also other huge megacorps such as IKEA, McDonald's, Burger King "creatively avoid" in taxes. Or if minimum wages were set so high that a pension built on a life of minimum wage were enough to live on in old age (this is a problem that currently runs high in Germany, as many old people have not enough pension to get by and so require social welfare)?
His products used to be good. These days they are over priced, poorly made and fall apart quickly.
I've heard some people saying that the recent free private repos from github could potentially hurt or impact gitlab. I'm not entirely sure why since it is free stuff and not things you are paying for. Is there any merit to that or was I just listening to the wrong person? I'm thinking about applying there
If you've never found anything with it, why do you keep doing it (see: the definition of insanity)?
Thanks for the dialogue! Just to try to simplify things, it sounds like you are worried about tax filing being regressive - causing under-privileged, low-income, and other disadvantaged people to pay more taxes than they owe. Isn't it true, though, that tax filings typically increase in complexity alongside income?

Things like marriage records and children aren't currently kept private such that the Child Tax Credit and Joint Filing rules couldn't be automatically applied. It's not immediately apparent to me that vulnerable populations would necessarily be at a disadvantage.

(Basically, I figure that if I'm high-income, it's my problem to sort out my taxes to my greatest advantage, but it should be easy for folks who don't have the luxury of time or money.)
What was so special about Gmail? Except for the user interface and mailbox size, Hotmail and Yahoo were just as good and people used them for a long time.
My Dyson "stick vacuum" was the only Dyson I've ever owned, and it was total crap. I actually called them on the phone and asked why it turned off on me constantly (not overheating), and they said it was a design flaw with the battery in the handle. And therefore too bad.

It was a pain in the ass the whole time we used it, and I will never buy a Dyson again. It was over $200, and its replacement was $30 and lasted almost as long (which was still super short).
That makes sense. Employers save themselves a lot of employee dissatisfaction through honesty and transparency during the hiring process. If they misrepresent themselves, they end up with employees who aren't a good match as a result of decisions made on bad information, and who feel cheated to boot.

Edit: Some companies misrepresent their cultures because they know their actual behavior is unattractive to workers. Bolstering Glassdoor reviews by encouraging unusually satisfied (or otherwise motivated) employees is just another form of this. The strategy is successful at tricking employees into accepting poor working conditions while also demonstrating that the employer isn't worth trusting.

So if he's basically based in Singapore, why get involved in the Brexit argument at all? Or at least if he did, why wasn't his argument, "I had to move all my manufacturing out of the UK because it's not like Singapore". Don't remember him saying that during the campaign.
Thanks! Interestingly it seems like all of these are notifications that don't require any action whatsoever.

I worry that Visa/Mastercard will use their duopolistic position in credit/debit/etc payment processing to gather more data and spy on consumers. I suspect Visa/Mastercard collects even more valuable data than google or facebook and they've already indicated they want to me more of a technology/ML/AI company.

With data being ever more valuable and a small group near monopolistic companies in position to siphon most of it, it's going to be difficult to lead a private life.
