This illustrates why, through extensive experience and interaction with "blockchain" folks, I want nothing to do with the entire crypto industry. It attracts the very worst of the worst. I'm sure there are plenty of honest companies trying their best to legitimize this stuff. But the vast, vast majority of it is just outright plundering and fraud by the most vile people on earth.
The reason I have renters insurance in Denmark is that it also covers liability, if I damage someones property.. even on a bike or something.

(If I recall correctly, I had liability coverage through renters insurance in the US, when I lived there)

Cover liability in case you run someone over on a bike and they are severely disabled.

https://www.odroid.co.uk/ is the first result from duckduckgo. That should answer your 2nd question too. I bought an odroid some years ago (C1 maybe?) and I found quite a lot of things didn't work. I ended up paying quite a lot after the customs people had their way so I'd always go with a local distributor now. I could have returned it if I'd done that too.

That xu4 link states it runs 16.04 but maybe that's also out of date info. The cpu performance sounds good but I think we'll have to disregard the pi3 comparison they provide as per the throttling the OP describes. Usb and network performance improvements would certainly be worth it for a NAS system, but then you don't get any sata ports.

Gpio wise you've got a non-standard 2mm pitch header and 1.8V. What a pain.

For me, the lack audio output and WiFi is a bit annoying. A media centre with a only hdmi1.4 would be a problem for some (you'd also maybe have to go for the slower one without a fan).

Also remembering we are comparing a £42 device (I've included the official pi PSU) with a £70 device (+ if we want wifi). So maybe it's better compared against an atom board for those who want to spend a bit more. But an atom gives you sata so if that price comparison is fair (edit: had a quick look, it's not fair), the xu4 isn't that great.

Maybe it is the use as a desktop system where the xu4 shines.

I'm not convinced it's an obvious choice.
Thank you for saying this. I've been pointing this out forever and it always results in a massive downvote. The educational angle of the Pi is long long gone.

And what really intrigues me is how much time people will spend trying to get this SBC to do something in a one-off project when an extra $75-$150 will get them a system that can do much much more out of the box.
There's a potentially long road between a destabilizing act and war. Economic/diplomatic policies, or propaganda, can certainly be destabilizing.

I never saw an employer asking for IBAN. Feels shady to me.
GDP is a funny measure. If an economy booms due to everyone thinking their houses are worth twice what they paid for them then is any 'product' grossly made domestically?

I think that aliens would probably look on us much like we look on microbes in a petri dish. Ignoring the paper money there is energy and right now the taps are open and the oil is flowing. Thanks to fracking America now exports oil and we are not in some Mad Max world where oil is a scarce resource hoarded by those that have got it. The Peak Oil people were scared of twenty years ago is but a distant memory of a future that never happened.

The 2008 QE printing of money kicked the can down the road. The reckoning still has to happen, capitalism cannot eat itself forever with GDP that is more to do with cannibalising industrial capitalism and becoming finance capitalism.
God I thought that Matt Damon headline was not real, turns out I was wrong, just googled it's very real.
Let’s be real - how many business projects honestly require tens to thousands of “machines”? And what fraction of IT people work on those projects?

There is a huge amount of IT work that never gets to that scale, and of the IT projects that get there, lots don’t actually need to be.
Could you give an example? I’m drawing a blank.

I'll tell you about the problem. US student loan debt isn't just personal debt. No sane credit institution would bankroll a 40,000$ degree in divinity unless graduates were regularly raking in six figures (which I doubt).

What makes it all work is the government guarantee. This, in turn, has caused massive price inflation for all degrees, whether they are bullshit or not. You have a whole generation of students who are either not going to be able to pay back the debt, or who are going to have to give up on a significant amount of other spending, which is a drain on the economy.

The reasoning is:

If you can't afford to replace it, then you purchase insurance for it.

Replace "it" with whatever you want. Just because a car is not pocket change, doesn't mean you can't afford to easily replace it. And maybe if you feel that it will cause you stress or stretch you thin, then it doesn't fit the definition of "afford to replace it". Auto insurance company has way more data than you do on how likely it is that they will need to replace your car, so they will charge you appropriately, plus their salaries. So if you have a sufficient emergency fund, then you don't need the insurance, just like you don't need it for the bag of rice.
definition of prudish: `having or revealing a tendency to be easily shocked by matters relating to sex or nudity; excessively concerned with sexual propriety.`

Having a belief that a loved one would be happier if they do not take drugs and acting on that to attempt to persuade them is love and concern (and they are free to disagree with me). Having a belief that a loved one would be happier if refrained from using sex in a certain way is love and concern; not prudishness. We teach our children to not run in front of cars or to read Plato, why not impart other things we think will help them? whether or not you agree with the particulars, it is every persons duty to try to help the world be a bit better and happier.

> This is why I try to avoid insurance policies wherever possible.

You read a story about about a special case for a policy four orders of magnitude larger than your own common case.

The results of your cost/benefit analysis are that you should generally avoid insurance policies.

I hate to defend the insurance industry, but it sounds to me like you're exactly the type of person who needs to have insurance.
Not everyone has been brainwashed by their suburban upbringing into believing that living in an apartment is “dystopian”.
Thanks for sharing, probably should make this a Show HN though?
The problem with that is, using readline 7 as an example, you need to have had readline 7's image cached on your machine, or it still needs to be 'tappable' or whatever in order to do that. In this case, brew master _only_ had readline 8 available, so if you never had readline 7 installed on your machine, it was inaccessible without bothersome workarounds.

In most cases, brew just works. That's great. But it's also used primarily by developers, and I can't imagine this is an uncommon scenario.
There's an 'empty trash bag' circling our planet
The author is probably working quite a bit in cramped network closets with unmanaged, or only partially managed networking gear. While these environments might be becoming less common, they will still exist for many years to come.

To work in these environments efficiently, an air is far from ideal. It's a good machine, but the amount of dongles you'd need to carry on a typical day would be rather intimidating, hooking it up and managing the rats nest of adapter cables would be tedious.

From this perspective, it's not unreasonable to call them toys. Simple things like having prominent rubber feet helps a lot with not having to worry the machine will slip and fall if the surface isn't perfectly flat and level.

With that said, I believe introducing an idea through calling other things toys without explaining why they are akin to toys in your line of work, is absolutely not the best way to present an idea.

Anyway, some features, like having the laptop be able to work as screen and keyboard for a headless machine would really be amazing in this line of work!

I really enjoy reading these war stories, even though this sounds like a super difficult time for the author. On a technical note though, aren't these kinds of breaches a powerful reason to use memory safe languages? I know performance used to be a major driving factor, but I doubt that's the case anymore. Even then, does it seem reasonable to say "I'm risking it all for a 20% performance gain"?

Admittedly, this isn't the kind of stuff I normally write, so I might be missing something. But since the ramifications of these memory leaks are so severe, I would think the industry would be adapting.

What I dislike about Raspberry Pi is that it gives people the wrong idea of embedded programming. It led to a profusion of these tutorials and articles where someone is booting up an entire operating system and coding in Python just to make an LED light up. It would be much better if there were some kind of equally popular open source platform that focused on actual microcontrollers, with the associated focus on efficiency and performance.
Too be fair, these silos are the internet for a vast swathe of people. Google has always been a gateway to discovering new places on the internet and as she pointed out, they are actively suppressing search results they don't like. They don't know there are or can't find the places outside the silos.

> If something is cultural, why does that imply it is automatically bad or should be tossed aside?

It does not. But neither does it imply it's good.

Because something is cultural does not make it immune to analysis and critique.

Especially today, as we see firsthand how much culture, minds, beliefs can be influenced, manipulated, in a few years-time, for the very political and financial interest of some very specific clique.

Keen.io | Devops Lead | San Antonio, TX | Full-Time | Onsite | https://hire.withgoogle.com/public/jobs/scaleworkscom/view/P...

Keen is the platform that enables software developers to build customer-facing analytics into their apps in a quick, flexible, and scalable way. We provide a comprehensive custom analytics stack without the hassle of managing big data infrastructure.

What we're looking for in a Devops lead:

- AWS platform experience. You should know how to best deploy and manage AWS services. You know why services like ECS are awesome but also know what their gotchas are and can articulate the pros/cons to other engineers.

- You have strong opinions on DevOps/SRE concepts and the space in general. Things like immutable infrastructure, chatops and gitops, SRE practice, IaC, serverless, etc.

- You should have broad DevOps skillset. That means you have hands-on experience with containers (Docker/ECS), Linux, CI/CD (Jenkins/CircleCI/TravisCI), log management (ELK/CloudWatch/Loggly), and monitoring platforms (Datadog, NewRelic, Grafana).

- You’re comfortable writing tooling in a scripting language like python.

- Experience with Cassandra or other modern NoSQL datastores.

Familiarity with operation and management of Apache Storm and Kafka and experience with artifact/dependency management in systems such as gradle, sbt, or maven an equivalent would be a bonus.
A lot of people only see gross salary and forget the only thing that matters is how much money you net at the end of the year.

For most in the middle class if you compare the cost of living index to a less desirable place to live, even with the much reduced wages, it makes fiscal sense leave.
NZ is one of the countries in the world with the highest level of broad-based economic development, and is literally in the middle of nowhere-- you couldn't find a less representative example. It's nice that they have managed to successfully regulate sex work, but this tells us practically nothing about how the same policy choice would work in a highly-diverse place like the average US state (and you might bring up Nevada here, which does have some limited form of legal prostitution - but guess what, that too is in the middle of nowhere, and basically not representative! Especially if you exclude Vegas and the other areas where prostitution is not legal) or European country, or anywhere else in the Western world for that matter.
Sadly, this massive wave of future censorship is being driven by the very people who would have fought for the right to free speech and expression in the past. We are so frightened of fake news, micro-aggressions, and things which may trigger our mostly white, middle class sensitivities that we are essentially forcing governments around the world to enact censorship for us.

> Otherwise you are asking for an insurance for you not understanding the terms and conditions.

Is this an unreasonable request? :)

Whenever I get insurances through work I rarely get terms and conditions? If I do, I rarely get something specific, it's very ambiguous.. and contains unqualified conditions.

I find that agents can rarely answer questions I have, how was I suppose to understand things?
Why wouldn't they do that?

So what is the standard of evidence for something like this? The fact that say top security outfits did attribution to APT-blah or APT some blahBear and there is some level of confidence that the groups might be state actors is it really enough?
My knee jerk reaction is actually to agree with you wholeheartedly: sex is arousing and violence isn't. But if I can play devil's advocate, isn't it possible that if sex was more commonplace and less censored it would be less arousing? Sure there's a biological aspect, but I think a lot of sex is psychological. And if our threshold for what was considered "exciting" was brought down by a complete normalization of nudity and erotic content, wouldn't it not be that uncomfortable at all? Similarly, if we completely censored violence, wouldn't you be incredibly uncomfortable if violence showed up in a google search while you're presenting to peers at work?

Personally, I'm inclined to think that the answer is yes. I think it's all relative. And I think our censorship is directly linked to the fact that it's uncomfortable.
Creators of sexually suggestive content are being targeted by the right wing because God says it's bad and they don't like it.

Neo-Nazis (or as you referred to them, "conservative intellectuals") are being targeted because their hate speech promotes intolerance and causes pain, suffering and encourages right wing extremists, who then go out and kill people with guns and cars.

Try to learn the concept of false equivalency and stop pandering.
"improved" was a non-sealing dust jacket and even then apple was too chicken-shit coward to say it was an attempt to keep foreign particles entering the hinge.

Maybe this is all great business sense, but it really makes me consider if buying another apple laptop is a good idea.
