Likewise it focuses only on a population of people who are exposed to a lot of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc. and doesn't control for just glyphosate-based herbicide exposure. The incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma could be correlative with this population for a number of causes, so further investigation would be good.

Depends. If nothing is being constructed on that site like HQ2 then you won't get the money you 'lost' on the tax break. Unless these tax breaks include refundable tax credits?
Yes, there is just that much solar being installed. The grid demand curve used to look like a bell curve (peaks mid-day, goes down in the evening). Nowadays, in California there's so much solar that it basically decapitates the curve half way down. Here's today's CAISO demand curve:

http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/default.aspx

The industry term for this is called the "Duck Curve", where you install so much solar that you mostly reduce daytime electricity demand, but have peaks in the morning and evening.

That's kind of fair. I've been doing some thinking since posting this, and I've been sort of debating what a "reasonable $5/mo version" of this would be. The more I think about what managed database services usually entail, the more I concede that my original request probably isn't really a viable product (unless it was a "free tier"-style loss leader). Like, disk space and bandwidth aren't really the primary cost involved.

I think what I really want is managed backups that live outside of my box, and the ability quickly restore from one if my database crashes or becomes unusable. I think automated failover to another node may not be a reasonable ask for such a cheap product.

Of course, at that point: I could spin up a 1GB DigitalOcean volume for $0.10/mo, and set up scripts to run `pg_dump` every couple hours, clean the volume of older backups to free up space, and ideally a script to reset the database to a given volume. _That's all stuff I don't want to do_, but maybe someone's built a reusable set of scripts for it or something - that Dokku container is promising as a starting point, though I'm a little annoyed it only works with S3(-compatible).
The tests are often poorly defined. I've been caught in reCAPTCHA hell a few times (but not recently), and it's often the case that I'm guessing... is this a bus? I'm not sure.

It's interesting to find out that this might have nothing to do with my ability or inability to recognize objects in blurry photos.
It's funny that you share complaints about Buzzfeed, and yet you decide to quote me a website that does not run fact checkers and frequently shares literal fake news as cited in their own Wikipedia article.

It would be fitting that you would focus in on that paragraph on Wikipedia and not the fact that security professionals clearly took the document seriously enough to use it as a reasonable basis for investigation.

As someone from the N. Virginia region I think this is a huge win for our region. And I think it will do great things to continue the grow the region's technical strength. I'm glad they can focus on building a single larger HQ and not two equal HQs, which always seemed odd to me anyways. NYC is not too far on the Acela line to DC. And this might spur development of more high speed rail or hyperloops or whatever.
My first thought as well, looks like the business is 100% based on breaking TOS.

From their site:
Is scraping legal?
In the United States, scraping public resources falls under the Fair Use doctrine, and is protected by the First Amendment. See the LinkedIn Vs. hiQ scraper ruling for more information. This does not constitute legal advice, and you should seek the counsel of an attorney on your specific matter to comply with the laws in your jurisdiction.

ROFL, I guess if you are able to ignore the layers of other issues TOS, breaking of technology to specifically exclude your use case, etc and are only willing to apply some very tangential case law against your reasoning it is "legal".

I have a feeling that you and the parent poster (and I) have different views on immigration in general, which is fine, but it's going to color how we view certain restrictions on certain visas.

The objection is essentially that the US is imposing fairly-arbitrary restrictions on H-1B holders that make it difficult and stressful to live and work in the US... for no good reason.

You can say stuff like "they should have known the limitations of the visa and what they were getting into", and that's correct. But my position is one of empathy. Sure, the US government is certainly within its rights to create a visa program like this. My position, fundamentally, is that it shouldn't. It should treat people like people, not interchangeable worker cogs that should feel blessed just to be allowed to spend time in the US. It's incredibly arrogant and heartless, and I object to the entire thing on moral and ethical grounds. The US is one of the few developed nations that has such a strict, heartless immigration system, and frankly it makes me ashamed as a natural-born US citizen to see how we treat citizens of other nations who enrich our economy and lives.

I predict this will be abandoned (or the blockchain figleaf dropped in favor of an explicitly centralized and far simpler/cheaper store) in 2, maybe 3 years.

Or about as long as it takes for the fundamentally unsolvable problems of decentralized governance to become pathological to group integrity. If you are a junior stakeholder in this nominally decentralized system you eventually have to accept that you have no influence over the direction of the protocol's development, or get together with a group of similarly disadvantaged peers and fork your own implementation where your relative influence is more comparable.

Until that consortium, too, falls apart due to leverage-seeking behavior by individuals within it, or ossifies into a de facto centralized network, but one saddled with a bunch of expensive and now superfluous blockchain game-theory casino infrastructure.
Here's a cautionary tale of purchasing a home with solar panels, even if they're not leased from a third party.

We bought a house with solar panels in 2016. The seller had purchased the system less than a year before the house went on the market, and one of the key selling points was that there was no lease to deal with; by purchasing the home, we would 100% own the solar panels and would reap all the benefits of what they generated.

Six months after the sale was finalized, we changed Internet providers and soon after that, we were forwarded an email by the seller from an organization we had never heard of, asking us to reconnect the solar panels to the Internet as a condition of their contract.

Um ... what contract?

It turns out that when the seller purchased the panels, they made a deal with this green-energy company, which was sort of a joint venture between our state's biggest utility and the state itself. The organization paid the seller $6K up front. The seller, in turn, agreed that for the next 20 years, any Solar Renewable Energy Credits generated by the panels would belong to the organization.

The existence of this contract, which included a lien on the SRECS, was never disclosed to us. And it never showed up on the title search because the lien was on this abstract credit, not on any physical property. The lawyer who did the closing had never heard of anything like it!

We ended up having to get a different lawyer involved, and it was a big production, because not only had the organization dealt with relatively few transfers of ownership, it had never dealt with a case where the SRECS contract was not transferred as part of the home sale, and undoing the mess the seller had caused by not disclosing it took a lot of legal legwork.

In the end, the organization agreed to remove the lien, rather than continue a legal battle, and I assume it then went after the seller for whatever portion of the $6K advance payment it could recoup.

The lesson I learned from all of this is that when it comes to solar panels, not even the people in the industry have much experience with the edge cases. And although installations are starting to become routine, transfers of ownership are not yet routine.

(By the way, the solar panels work well, and our energy bills are very low, but I wish someone would have told me that squirrels love to build nests under the panels and chew through wires, because yeah, that's happened, and it's not covered under the warranty.)
Yeah, I get at most 5 hrs/day of "me time", and I'm just a 20 minute drive from my office with heavy traffic. 5 minutes if the roads are clear.
Granted, I spend hours on HN, reading articles, sometimes even short books, and sneak a YT video every once in a while during work.
I get paid like crap for not so trivial work, so might as well use that time to strive for something better, lol.
Are you aware that there are existing tax programs in NYC, and that most of the money "given" to Amazon came from those existing programs that are available to anyone who qualify?
We should always make a distinction between introvert and shy or socially awkward. Introverts can often do well in social situations if they want to but for shy people it's much more difficult due to anxiety issues.

There are a lot of things I don't like to do but can do perfectly fine but talking to strangers and making a connection is something I can't pull off despite trying quite a bit. There is way too much anxiety involved.
Well, it depends on your job (and HR department).

Our policies are very vague, and when i followed them and honestly notified my company that i want to try something on the side (even using my PTOs) which had no conflict of interest - i was denied.
So, had to chose by current stable job and an adventure.

I chose adventure.
Can anyone give me an overview of why I'd want to consider looking at DO if im already comfortable with AWS? I don't really have any issues with RDS.
Nicely done using Unix utils. You can have a pure sed solution (save the `ls` invocation) that is much simpler, albeit obscure, that hinges on the fact that every number has a `data.csv` file.

Given a sorted list of these files (through `ls` or otherwise) the following sed code will print out the data files for which A did not succeed on them.

/data/!N
/A/d
P;D

This works on the fact that there exists a data file for all successful and unsuccessful runs on data, so sed simply prints the files for which there does not exist an `A` counterpart.

If you want to only print out the numbers, you can add a substitution or two towards the end.

/data/!N
/A/d
s/^0*\|_.*//g;P;D

Edit: fixed the sed program
I didn’t know that, even so it perfectly summarizes some people lives.
Exactly. That's why we should just dispense with the facade of elections and have the Fortune 500 companies decide who will be President. The free speech rights are too severely restricted if there is a rule that applies equally to everyone that regulates political ads 60 days before an election. It's just too suffocating to live in such a system. Hopefully we can export of our freedom to Europe and get them to get rid of their electioneering laws. Then they too will be free like us.
Without a lien on the property this type of business model, where the company pays for tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment up front to private individuals who may not have any other assets to be used as collateral, simply wouldn’t work. It’s not that different from a mortgage.
IAalsoNAL, but my understanding is if there were a bunch of opinions overturning claims of trolls, it would change the calculus of settlement and therefore make it too expensive to be a troll because of the high risk of loss.

Yes, the long trial lengths are also a problem, and maybe an easier one to fix, by adding expedited hearings just for these things. But at the end of the day the trolls troll because the reward is greater than the risk.
If you don't mind "cd dataset-directory" beforehand, a shorter and possibly more correct version would be:

comm -1 -3 <(ls *_A.csv | sed 's/_.*$//') <(seq -w 0500) | sed 's/^0*//'

The OP's solution doesn't seem correct because of the different ordering of the two inputs of `comm': lexicographical (ls) and numeric (seq).
Well obviously it's partly non biological. For example, I weighed 52 pounds more several years ago compared to Monday morning. The reason for this disparity is social and psychological.

In this specific case, the app was targeted for MacOS and OS X earlier. Java really isn't a good solve on that platform. Which also makes it not a good solve for anything on the Mac platform.

I have been wanting to build a UI tool for non-techies to be a front end to a collection of shell scripts that I have been using for day-to-day tasks. I have written the scripts to be a friendly as I can make them with drag-n-drop folders as inputs rather than requiring arguments to be provided. This looks like a good example for me to use as research.
There's been a staging environment for as far as I can look (>4y), and it's been improving continuously, with a lot of investments put in. There's also extensive CI/CD and multiple layers of continuous testing in dev/stage/prod happening. Definitely not a straight deploy to production.

Best comment on the thread so far.

Property tax reform could work for single family homes if we decoupled property tax from land tax. NYS should only raise taxes on the value of land given the surrounding population density, natural properties and accessibility to public infrastructure.

Atheism is not a thing, it is not a religion nor a political position; it is not a cult where everybody acts the same, thus you cannot "act like an atheist". There are no actions you are required to perform in order to be considered an atheist. You can even go to church every sunday, as many atheists do, and still be an atheist.
The lower court decided not to hear the case because the specific patent was unenforceable. That won't impact any future cases on other patents.
Playing Devil's advocate, these were tax cuts on new jobs and business. And even with that the income to the city coffers would be greater even in the short term.

You're suggesting that another city will generate money and wealth to rival NYC by getting a few Amazon jobs?

Frankly, that would not happen. Maybe if that other city was DC? But, yeah, probably not even then.
With kids, I've adopted a similar way of working on my projects. During the week I really only have ~1.5 hours a day of focused time that I can spend on my projects. I've found a great system that help a lot with that:

1. Plan specifics and next-steps while watching the kids. This is not to say you should ignore them or anything. An hour of dedicated play with the kids is usually followed by an hour of them playing with each other or doing something independent quietly (super important skills for them to learn IMO). When they are watching Sesame Street or playing with each other I have a note-taking app and Google Docs on my phone. I can plan next steps, write content, manage the project's social media, etc. from basically anywhere while still keeping an eye on the kids. I also make and maintain a TODO list broken down into bite-sized tasks in the note taking app (the default notes app that comes with Android). Using a phone in this way is more rewarding than surfing Reddit/HN anyways, and it will fundamentally change your relationship with your phone for the better.

2. Since most planning is already done (see step 1), when I have dedicated time to work on the project I already have a list of bite-sized tasks I can accomplish. Doing even one tiny task a day adds up way more quickly than you would believe. e.g. I do furniture, so on one day I photograph a completed chair, another day I cut fabric for cushions, etc. Maintained over the long-term, this adds up to a ton of progress without burnout. My guiding philosophy for this is "consistency + effort = improvement".

This system also works great for people with long commutes (assuming you're not driving)!
Possibly, in my experience it was more about the person dishing out the advice and had little to do with the recipient.
Not for those of us in the N. Virginia region. I'm celebrating the announcement as a double-down on our region

>start with the bullshit assumption that someone who spends 8 hours at work is instantly free as soon as the clock strikes 5

This is one of the things I noticed as well. About a year ago I started commuting via commuter rail (Boston), and my side project productivity sky rocketed.

I'm guaranteed a seat, and room to put my laptop on my lap for two 1 hour intervals, 5 days a week.

This is an option not many people have, especially in the US.

Previously I've commuted by driving (obviously can't get much coding done then), and subway (too crowded to pull out a laptop). By the time I got home, I'd have already worked at least 8 hours, and spent 2 miserable hours commuting. I was tired, hungry, and hadn't gotten any side project work done.

Now at least I can get 2 good hours in every day, and that productivity momentum sometimes will carry in to the evening now as well, since I'm already in the thick-of-it when I get home. But even if it doesn't I'm working 10 hours/week on something I enjoy, and can easily see steady progress in it. It doesn't even matter how much time I'm able to make for myself when at home now.
We're all going to have to do something for the people at the actual bottom once we cater to the people racing to the bottom. The people that can't afford to live at the bottom of NYC also can't afford to move their families to Central African Republic and run the tshirt machines producing stuff they ship back where they came from.

The USA already has a tax structure in place. Amazon could afford to pay the existing taxes if they wanted to. Heck, they're paying their tax accountants to figure out how not to pay those taxes. Why doesn't Amazon just buy, say, Nebraska, and set up shop there?
You can discount any article that claims to refute the efficient market hypothesis unless the author includes a bit about how they have already arbitraged this deficiency away and are currently sitting on a multi-billion dollar pile of money.

So uhh, given that he's got billions of dollars, there may actually be something there. Then again, the core skill of hedge funds is to convince people to let you manage their money, which is somewhat different than actual investing skill, so it's still unclear.
It's not. Amazon is one of the best things that has ever happened to Seattle. The Seattle economy is by far one of the greatest results America has seen in the last 30 or 40 years among major cities. There are only a few cities in the US that compare when it comes to quality of life, standard of living, incomes, employment prospects, et al.

When someone says it's destroyed, they mean it's gentrifried or exclusionary, not benefiting everyone equally. That's certainly true. Economically the fact is Seattle has been an epic boom city for two decades now.

Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway also don't benefit everyone equally. 99.9% of the world can't live there, few of the planet's 7.5 billion people are welcome. It turns out that all nice, affluent places are aggressively exclusionary, without exception.
I think if you have a small to medium sized dataset of images or text, deep feature extraction would be the first thing I'd try.

I'm not sure what the most interesting problems with that property are. Maybe making specialized classifiers for people based on personal labeling? I've always wanted e.g. a twitter filter that excludes specifically the tweets that I don't want to read from my stream.
