Yikes - just mentioning that there are people with differing opinions is considered "inflammatory"?
The AWS kafka product is a non-product. One would have to reproduce the same effort there as anywhere else.

60MB/s per broker

Took me about two hours worth of testing to reach that same conclusion. I like the Dropbox approach though, it is very thorough. One presumes that kafka is going to become a fundamental part of their infrastructure, in which case, this effort is a prudent investment.
Can we trust Algorithmic decisions?
This is the part of the design that struck me as particularly useful -- that the monitor, keyboard, and trackpad/whatever can all be plugged in to external sources.
It seems like what he described - he hired more freelancers/contractors at the start of these projects resulting in a ton of expenditures, but as they matured they costs mostly are server-based.

You should maybe address your willful misunderstanding of “free trade zone” in your first post, and your misrepresentation of the ongoing negotiations before going right to further degrading the discussion with empty snark.

A Canada-style FTA has always been one of the options available to the UK. It is immortalized in Barnier’s famous diagram from the very beginning of the negotiations: https://goo.gl/images/AqyD7w
I'm really not sure what your point is. Clarification?
The graph only reflects my business income and expenses and doesn't include my living costs, which I'm paying by drawing down from savings.

I thought about how to show a unified view of my finances, but I couldn't think of any way to do it sensibly because it would included a huge one-time expense of buying a house, then a bunch of other one-time expenses from moving, renovating, etc.

Being digitally removed from your previous works sounds quite similar to the people disappearing from Stalin’s photos.
Nuclear weapons won't do much about car bombs in London or help with EU negotiations unless the UK wants to re-enact a more rainy Mad Max after leaving.
It is worth pointing out that Northern Ireland does more trade with England than it does with all other trading partners combined - including the rest of Ireland. If you're going to put a custom border somewhere, where does it make sense to put it?

Technologies of Narcissism
If you're going to open a post with "let's be accurate here" then it helps to post something which is remotely close to the truth.

The withdrawal agreement ensures that the UK will leave the EU entirely within a fixed period with the exception of a tiny, economically isolated region which actually voted to remain, which would continue to be subject to some Single Market rules (to its immense economic benefit) under a temporary provision unless and until it was replaced by a subsequent agreement or an arbitration committee was persuaded that the UK had devised a customs regime which didn't conflict with the UK's separate legal obligations to uphold the GFA and WTO trading rules.

Which is the sort of term that people claiming to want to launch a new era of trade agreements with the whole world and claiming that the Irish border could be adequately solved with technology wouldn't be particularly bothered by if they believed what they were saying. (Irish Unionists have more obvious reasons to oppose the deal due to the symbolic importance of an Irish Sea border and their own interpretations of the GFA)
With TLS?
It's a fantasy wish list brought to 3D rendering.
I think he's being sarcastic. The one thing that all parents (myself included) tell non parents is that children change everything.
Iran Launches Gold-Back Cryptocurrency to Circumvent U.S. Sanctions
I don't really see what relevance nuclear weapons have on trade agreements. Trade is an iterated cooperation game. Nuclear weapons have no second turn.
We don't know what the best genes are or will be. Furthermore as humans we work together to overcome personal shortcomings and develop technological/medical solutions to overcome genetic "issues". ADHD or ASD can be a gift or a curse depending on the environment you live in.

I find different cultures/religions to be quite interesting in their characteristics of families. Mormons seem to have larger families. They require 10% of income goes to the church which increases the church's influence, so the church gets stronger the more people are in it. It's like a self-sustaining organism that gets stronger with each generation.

As an intelligent individual belonging to no particular culture or religion, I feel less inclined to have children than others I know since it's not part of my values. It's likely that people like myself are going to have a difficult time passing on our genetics. If you want to encourage smart people to have kids, create a religion/culture that makes sense to them and give them that directive.
For now, I am content pointing out errors in reasoning online, thank you.
OP, did you read this, or just the title? Link = pay wall. Not helpful!

Taxing the rich tho is not a good idea because they will GO ELSEWHERE!

Anyone got a link that is not a paywall?
Thanks for correcting me, that's really good news.
And besides, porting this to non mobile devices would be a lot less stupid than it might appear.
Scientific controversy about brain stimulation is (possibly) explained
Personally, given that I release most of my code (and all of the code for which I hold the copyright) under free software licenses, my concerns about how people use the things I create (and who those people are) tend to take a backseat.
Those issues are separate from GMOs.

Definitely this needs to be pointed out more. My wife used to get upset if I suggested something might be a placebo because she thought I was telling her that she was fabricating the observed effects on her.

I think the placebo effect still working even if the person is told it is a placebo is a factor of whether or not you consider placebo to be "bad" or "ineffective". To me it just suggests a difference in the actual mechanism of how the placebo is effective. I'm curious to know if there are ways to increase the effectiveness of placebo by having a strong/pleasant smell or taste associated with it or some other sensory effect that is immediately noticeable.
JavaScript the Weird Parts (Types, Type Coercion, PBR)
I would take it further and say that nature doesn't care about genes either. Caring is a property of whole organisms with complex information processing abilities. Genes kinda tend to propagate, just because the ones that were slightly less good at that didn't make it very far.

In the interests of clarity, there are really (at least) four distinct issues with the border crossing.

The first is simply whether people have a right to physically cross the border. This is, broadly speaking, the Common Travel Area that was established on the island of Ireland long before the EU or any of its predecessors existed.

The next is Freedom of Movement, which is one of the "Four Freedoms" that underpin the EU Single Market. This is also about people, but rather than physical movement, it relates to what they can legally do. Notably, it grants someone from one side of the border rights to live and work on the other.

The third is customs. This is about moving goods across the border, whether tariffs are payable to do so, and the mechanisms for monitoring and enforcing any such tariffs. At present, with the UK and Ireland both in the EU and its Customs Union, there are no tariffs and so no checks or infrastructure are needed.

The fourth is regulatory compliance. This is also about moving goods across the border, but it's about the non-tariff barriers, such as whether products for sale meet environmental or safety standards, or whether live animals or food products meet health requirements. These matters are typically regulated at the level of the EU's Single Market, so again, with the UK and Ireland both in the SM there are no discrepancies in standards and any accreditations for testing on one side are recognised by the other, meaning no need for additional verification at the point of crossing the border.

Of course there are also other issues with cross-border trade; notably, the above doesn't cover anything to do with provision of services. But in terms of physical crossings, those are the main points, and they are quite distinct.

Saudi Arabia is one of the best arguments against moral relativism.
I've found Plex great for movies, my ripped television shows on the other hand tend to be weird. Since the order of DVDs, BRs don't always match up to the airing order there can be a lot of manual work in cleaning that up. Plex is also not super great with music yet. It's getting better but it's definitely having problems with a lot of my music since I've got a lot of local/indie bands.
Apple hands companies who sign up for an enterprise signing certificate the equivalent of a "get out of walled garden free" card, on the condition that you not use it to distribute software to people outside your company.

This is made VERY clear when you sign up and Google, at least, made it clear that using it to distribute software to the public violated the agreement they had entered into.

>A Google spokesperson told The Verge, “The Screenwise Meter iOS app should not have operated under Apple’s developer enterprise program — this was a mistake, and we apologize.

I think I've heard that Direct Debit isn't really used in America? Certainly subscriptions I have based there are only recurring card payments.

If I was going to have to go through that to cancel my subscription to a British newspaper, I'd just cancel the DD - a few taps in my bank's app.
As a lazy web developer (it's not my main job) I just hope there are tools who mark those in a checklist. E.g. Google Lighthouse Accessibility Audit. https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/acce...
There was indeed a bug fix to the actual Racket implementation, but in extremely hard-to-find corner cases, which was why it was only found via model-driven random testing.
My Location History and Web & App tracking are off, and I'm still able to use my Home and Work addresses on Google Maps.
I see many people here have your same experience, which is pretty odd to me. I live in Israel, maybe there's a connection somehow?
It's pretty accurate here, when it works. I'd guess at least 40% of the time it states that the local radar is down and refuses to give that kind of forecast.
No paywall here? (maybe ublock stops it?)
Workday | Senior Full-Stack Developer | San Francisco | http://www.workday.com | ONSITE full-time

Workday is a large and growing (public with a ~$30B market cap) enterprise software company, and we're looking for skilled senior front-end or full-stack developers to join my Media Cloud team, part of our Employee Experience Technologies group, in downtown SF. You’ll be working with an agile development team to develop interactive multimedia features and more for Workday’s application suite.

Our team is passionate and curious, and looking for developers who are the same. We value our employees above all, and believe that a kind, collaborative, and diverse team will produce better products.

Workday's software suite includes HCM, Financials, Recruiting, Learning, and more. Our software powers the world's largest and best businesses, like Amazon, Netflix, Patagonia, Wal-Mart, Sony, Toyota, VMware, Visa, and Yale University.

Our most-used languages are TypeScript (with React/Knockout), HTML/SCSS, and Python, but you'll also end up touching plenty of other programming languages including Kotlin, Java, etc. We are looking for candidates with 5-10+ years of full-time paid software development experience. Note that, unfortunately, we cannot sponsor new H-1Bs or hire candidates with F-1/J-1 visas, so you'll need to be a US citizen or permanent resident, or have a current H-1B (or equivalent).

If you're interested, shoot me an email: charlie.stigler@workday.com

I'm a senior engineering manager at Workday with a startup background - would love to talk to you if this job description sounds like a fit. =)
Perhaps checking shared transport schedule/platform to get back home.
Yup. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Antarctic_Ice_Sheet#Poten... the potential rise is 4.8 meters, which is 16 feet.

Of course a likely collapse will be some fraction of that. Unfortunately there are big question marks about how quickly it could happen. But we do get very large icebergs every so often - for example a couple of years ago there was one the size of Delaware. (Of course floating ice to floating freely moving ice does not directly change sea level. It does make sea water a bit fresher though.)

Hadn't seen that before.

I'm about the same age as Bruce, and I often respect what he's written. Not this time. In fact I'd bluntly claim he's wrong.

Let's not conflate privacy and secrecy and blame the old. Secrecy is not revealing the private conversations with a friend of the opposite sex is actually the surface of an affair. It would embarrass (or worse) if revealed. Privacy is not telling because there's no need, that's their business, but happy to tell SO if it came up for some reason.

For the older generation privacy is about control and agency too. Who gets to know mum or dad is ill, what they earn, who can see or use their information or their photo, even who their friends or habits are. The expectation is all of that goes to those who need it or others at the sole discretion of the individual or couple. Volunteered at their discretion unless a job or mortgage depends upon it. They just share a lot less than the kid's generation, but not for reasons of secrecy.
HOW TO MAXIMIZE Google PRODUCTS FOR PRODUCTIVITY
Seconded on the x220. Makes a great Hackintosh with minimal fiddling. Can be upgraded to 16GB RAM for practically nothing and genuine power adaptors are only a few dollars each. More than fast enough to get real work done.

I haven't written about it, but my strategy was very simple I just put all of my money into the Vanguard 500. For about 18 months before I quit, I started moving my money into less volatile savings like treasury bond funds.

IIRC, I was introduced to Vice with their fascinating coverage of North Korea:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrCQh1usdzE (second trip years later, where they got in under the guise of a Basketball game)

Unfortunately it's been increasingly hit or miss ever since and now their process seems to be along these lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw5UzBjgCiI

Also, how is it that so many of these media companies are having layoffs at almost exactly the same time? You'd think it'd be more scattered...
We'll there's your problem. If it were me, I'd look to cut expenses before doing something like this, but they're already as low as $1500. If I cut further I could be ramen profitable on his blog income.
