The Linux kernel itself will use the serial console by default if there's no VGA device:

If no console device is specified, the first device found capable of
acting as a system console will be used. At this time, the system
first looks for a VGA card and then for a serial port. So if you don't
have a VGA card in your system the first serial port will automatically
become the console.

I don't buy it. MSFT employees go home to their extended families during the holidays just like many of the rest of us do. There, just like the rest of us, they will be expected to maintain their non-technical relatives' Windows PCs, or at least explain why said computers are so badly hosed.

They are doing a terrible job on Windows and they have to know it, if only at a subconscious level.

No, the reason for fact checking something is to check whether it is true. Whether it is intended as a joke is irrelevant to its truth.

Yes, it would. There is also the time zone difference.
I agree with the sentiment but I'm not so sure about 100% and calling it night and day is exaggerated. I've had anecdotes both ways. I think there's some important factors to consider:

- Units send their best enlisted folks to become officers.

- For entry officer jobs like a platoon leader, the prior enlisted will have a massive knowledge advantage. Once an officer hits company command (~5-6 years), I'd say the difference evaporates as the focus should be at a higher level.

Some of the downsides of prior-enlisted officers are:

- Leaning to much on their experience and micromanaging enlisted subordinates.

- Focusing on low-level details rather than "officer-business" like long term training plans and orders preparation.
If data existed for vegans only that might be illuminating.

General vegetarians generally consume all dairy products which all originate from the same animals meat eaters eat, with all the herbicides, toxins, etc. Meat is full of free iron, which is toxic to males and to females not menstruating.

Also, putting cancer rates aside for a moment, heart attacks and clogged arteries from meat eating must be huge (and profitable for quadruple bypasses). Read the China study on cholesterol. wasn't it 20 years in length. largest health study ever performed ?
I think the only way the math would work out favorably is if you had an expensive car, a short commute, or preferably both. For a regular appliance car, say a Prius, used strictly for commuting (5 days/week) the TCO would be about $21/day. This is almost exactly what Uber would charge me to go one way 14 miles to my office downtown (I live on the outskirts of the city). So about twice as expensive to use Uber, and only if it's just for commuting.

But if I had something fancy, like a Tesla Model X, the daily cost (similar parameters as before) works out to $68/day, and then I could save money by using Uber.

Of course, that's not really a fair comparison because the Tesla is much nicer than anything Uber is likely to pick me up in, so the Prius is a much more honest comparison.

One thread about this from 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11077147. I feel like there were others at the time.

I - and everyone I know - would not even remotely consider allowing my self-driving car to be rented out to other people while I’m not using it, let alone deliver meals or similar.

Here are some of the many perks of having a car, currently:

1) It’s there when I need it.
2) I can leave my stuff in it if I want to.
3) I don’t have to share it with anyone else.
4) There is no dirt, mess, bad smells, damage, or other discomfort that I myself am not responsible for.

One of the main advantages of owning my own car is that I can then exclude other people from using it.

Now either I and everyone I know across hemispheres, continents, and cultures are weird exceptions to the vast majority of humanity (possible), or Bay-Area-Dwelling commenters on Hacker News are outliers in the way they feel about transport.

Thanks for your remarks, but you've made some profoundly incorrect assumptions and raised contextually variegated guidelines to the status of axioms.
spoken like a true Liberal. "chill out, it's only 40% of murders that are never solved, and actually, it used to be even higher a few years ago." to any rational person, that alarming statistic would justify being just a lil' bit tougher on crime. but not for the Liberal. the Liberal will deny reality in a mirror, no matter just how bad things really are, and double down on their Ideology (Communism) and never give an inch and never compromise until their insane and naive schemes open the doors to ruin and invite it in.

by the way, in case you didn't notice, the issue about sitting on the sidelines while the police state is being built is moot.

the police state has already been built. under 8 years of Obungler and 8 years of Bush/Cheney and 8 years of Slick Willy. if you think depriving the police state of DNA searches will score one for the good guys, then you are blinded to just how much territory you've already lost. there is no war against the police state. that war was lost a long time ago. thank to nerds who can code who built the algos and the data centers and the machinery for the police state to come into existence, by the way.

1. Targeting is rarely as sophisticated as you think. Many campaigns are run wide and cheap (all users in a region, maybe some particular hours, etc). It's easier to optimize after this initial run based on actual performance rather than trying to figure out the exact people who would respond.

2. Some companies are also taking ad auction bidding in-house and running their own algorithms with their 1st party data, like upselling their own customers. This doesn't need any relevance matching since they know exactly who they're going after.

3. Targeting is not free. There is a continuum of price vs precision and high precision is rarely worth the costs, especially if the product itself cannot support those margins. Again this is why optimizing after a wide start is better than targeting upfront, and also why if you're trying to reach a very narrow audience it's easier to just send them email, or even direct mail.

4. People only notice the bad ads, not the good ones which they like or are influenced by. This is no different than complaining about bad CGI in movies when your average sitcom is 50% artificial but nobody notices because it just works.

5. Recommending movies as entertainment with cost in a subscription plan is nothing like finding relevant ads on the internet.

6. The adtech industry has 2 of the most valuable companies in the world and generates petabytes of data and billions in profit proving how well ads work. A random blog post by an outsider who has no idea how the industry works but claims it's all broken in direct contradiction to the data just comes across the same as a flat-earth conspiracy theorist.
I wasn't really trying to talk about the money. I was talking about if you're on the fence on a candidate as to hire them after an interview (which happens a lot). Do you take a risk and hire them? Do you want to avoid false positives and not? What if you don't have someone you absolutely know will be great for the job you're looking for, how do you pick the best out of your pool?
Absolutely! I've said the same thing several times over the past month. I actually enjoy Instagram ads and have bought multiple items because of an ad on Instagram. Even if I don't buy the product, I very often visit the page to view it.

The ads themselves are usually very high quality images or video, and despite taking up the entire screen like any other post, they don't feel intrusive.

Whatever they're doing is the right way to do it.
Coca-cola has a pH of 3.4 and in conjunction with carbon dioxide is good at dissolving metal oxides. And since one of the components is carbonic acids, it also works against lime. But then you still have to deal with the syrup residue.

Fortunately, humans aren't made of metal so when you pour it into a stomach that's somewhere between 1.5 - 3.5 pH, not much happens. Except that suspended carbon dioxide is released and has to go somewhere.
SurveyMonkey | Senior SRE | San Mateo, CA | Fulltime | Onsite

We're hiring a Senior SRE to work on our Transit team. The Transit team is responsible for the infrastructure relating to the transit of data - this includes caching, messaging, queueing, and application routing (nginx). We're slowly transitioning to be more of a "tier one" team, which means that we'll be responsible for those systems and more - service discovery, site performance, and more.

We're looking for someone to help us maintain these systems and, possibly more importantly, determine the right path for an AWS migration. One of my favorite parts of this job is that we get to work incredibly closely with engineering teams to help them choose the right tools for the job, and then help them implement their use cases around those tools. Our ideal applicant doesn't necessarily have experience with any of these tools, but they do have general ops and/or application engineering experience and are willing and excited to learn the other side. Ideally you're also excited to mentor - a big component of this job is working with engineering teams and helping them build with the infrastructure in mind.

I find the best way to explain our team is to share some of the problems we've been working on:

# Redis Performance
For legacy reasons, we're running multiple instances of redis on a single VM. They've recently started clobbering each other in competition for disk i/o. We've been working on various projects to migrate to new hardware, split the multiple instances to different VMs, and reduce or remove the usage of redis entirely.

# Site Routing
As we move more services to AWS, we've had some complications with how we route web requests. How can we ensure the same routing expectations are met in AWS as they are in our on-prem datacenter without massively increasing our operational burden, and having multiple different systems performing the same task in different datacenters?

# Network Traffic Reduction
Or, as we've taken to calling it, "the service call diet". This is primarily manifesting as a change in how we make use of our caching systems (other than redis). Some of our services make hundreds of calls to memcache for a single request. This means that any sort of network latency can be magnified 100x over. We've been working with engineering teams to provide caching best practices and to build out a new internal caching library to simplify and abstract our caching infrastructure.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please email me at tylerl@surveymonkey.com. Come help us build this team!
Yes, as OP mentions, machine learning can be applied quite well in other fields "like image processing or winning at strategy games."

And yes, they test out their new ML algorithms to see how effective they are. But they don't need the machine learning to create their list of "gullible people." Rather, they don't even -need- that list. If you just serve stupid, shady ads that look as close to porn as that platform can get away with, you'd get your desired click-through rate. The actual personalization aspect is just a myth to validate our invasion of privacy.
I mean, they do have a website which is fine...ish.

As to point 1. why do you assume that current patterns of ownership will persist? If self-driving cars can be summoned as needed why would you want the hassle of maintaining a private one especially as parking becomes astronomically expensive?

> Wouldn't it just concentrate decision making into the very powerful, densely populated areas

The value of a vote in Idaho would be equal to the value of a vote in Miami. Yes, that's what I mean. The system has clearly been corrupted in the other direction, where oligarchs have purchased, for very small sums, leverage over politicians from these population-small electoral areas. Maybe we could at least make them pay real money.
I would agree, it's the same as claiming testing will find all bugs in software. Some of these devices also have a lot of software. While deep analysis make it harder to hide things. Analysis does not forgo the possibility for exploits or back-doors to exist. Why do you think there are people who wish Intel would sell a CPU without IME, and what have we learned from Meltdown and Spectre is that finding all exploit avenues is tough. Moreover, most software does not have proofs to ensure correctness ect. Silicon designs are tend to have more verification done, but bugs still exist. Look at any errata sheet for a device.

However, this generally applies to all software and hardware. I guess the big question is there a possibility of innocuous back-doors vs your run of the mill exploitable bug.
The "gig economy" bites back. For those wondering, here is a breakdown of the TLC's implementations[1]. Without a doubt, Lyft is bemoaning "Minimum Driver Pay" where "Each app company will have its own rate, which will be set by TLC and adjusted periodically, and those with lower utilization rates will have to pay their drivers more per trip than companies with higher utilization rates."

While it's true that higher-utilization apps (like Uber) will have to pay their drivers less, this puts drivers in a position of power and Lyft in a position of higher driver demand. I think this is a good thing both for drivers and consumers. Drivers get to arbitrage working for either Uber or Lyft -- depending on the utilization/pay scale -- while being protected financially by the TLC's policies.

Lyft can cry wolf all it wants, but it's not as "small a player" as it makes itself out to be. By the way, this also protects new players in the space. These rules only apply to businesses doing, on average, 10,000 dispatches a day.

That sounds uncomfortably close to blaming the victim.
The title is false. This isn't a new study. This is from 2018.
This isn't the nomenclature I'd use. What you describe as a "Technical EM" is what I'd call a "Tech Lead", who doesn't have people management responsibilities (things like 1:1s, recruiting, growth and success of the team, etc) and focuses solely on the technical execution of a team. In my book an EM is always responsible for those people management things, and I'd use "Technical EM" to describe an EM who secondarily takes on some or all Tech Lead responsibilities, directly contributes code, etc.
In my experience, if you are baking in implementation details into your unit tests, they are necessarily going to be fragile. It is best to focus on input and expected output rather than the inner workings of the function under test.

I think it's a little harsh to relate this to someone who thinks the earth is flat.
How surprising, a site with a banner that says "it's okay to be white" and currently has a front-page article about how black people are too stupid to talk in court makes a bunch of nitpicks of snopes' prose.

Presumably so that they can later say "snopes is always wrong and biased" when Snopes contradicts Breitbart's claims that Obama and the UN and Black Lives Matter are planning to burn down Central Park next weekend.

I read introductions but usually only after I've read the work that they are 'introducing'.
I am curious as to the esteem that the "Canadian mafia" institutions in deep learning were held in before they made their splash. I know UToronto is a premier Canadian university, but I always considered Waterloo the premier Canadian technical university, and neither has the esteem of the big four CS programs in the US. Which is to say that modern deep learning is a (happy) story of something coming out of left field. Maybe the relative isolation of UToronto in CS circles allowed more of a tinkerer mindset that enabled those researchers to survive the AI winter.

My IP address is surprisingly stable. (Know this because I have to update a work app when it changes.) I'd logged into and used many google properties after I cleared cookies. What I searched for on Youtube was not oven or housewife related.

My guess is these targeters are maybe too sophisticated and rely on reams of data, social media logins, and etc. If you run a adblocker and clear cookies once in a while, you can "hide in plain sight".

Well that's the beauty of a homelab, I can run whatever I want in it. Since it's all just for experimentation I don't see an issue running 1gbe. For what it's worth I did give a 3x bonded lcap link a try but since Ceph uses a single connection per node it doesn't scale across the aggregated link.

However at the end of the day if I don't want to keep the kid up at night I gotta run gear that doesn't sound like an F-18 at full throttle.
The web is analogous to an untamed forest. It's got a bit of everything in it, and you can choose which parts of the forest you wish to go to. Don't like app XYZ because it locks up your CPU? Don't visit its URL. If you like and trust app ABC, use it regularly. It's like when you visit a restaurant - if the food's good, you go back. Otherwise you don't. I feel people are smart enough to work this out on their own without needing a corporate app store to set out rules for everyone.

If we start to restrict the web, I feel it takes away from what makes it great; the fact that it's a platform for untamed creativity and choice.
> If there is ever a future time you can be punished for your DNA, the only people who can possibly be 'grandfathered' in are the ones who've avoided submitting their DNA in the first place.

I don't support the point of view of the GP but in all fairness, if we come to the society where DNA is used for widespread discrimination, it will probably be semi-voluntarily collected from the majority of the citizens anyway (e.g. want to have a driver's license? submit the DNA)

What is this quote supposed to mean?

"you" refers to the Pinkertons obviously, but are they insinuating that clients without muscle would kill the muscle? or just stop using the company if they behave too ethical? he's justifying unethical behaviour ... by calling it highly ethical in a free market environment?!
