The sampler link from the (?) in the customizing UI is broken.

Have you tracked how many people ordered the sampler and than also ordered a real one after that?

I don't want to bother with the customize UI too much so I think you can do two things:

1. push the sampler as the main tool to find out what fits (so have it as the primary sales target)

2. make it easy to order what you like on a sample.

In general the wizard could be easier by doing:

- a step by step guide

1. choose pattern (only one possible, maybe link to the old UI for "experts")

2. choose distance

3. choose color (maybe go with a nice color picker directly)

4. done or tweak expert settings (with bug UI)

- and always showing roughly original size-zoom and full page

edit: and I agreed shipping, general pricing and payment methods would be great upfront.

And for the paper + cart steps: Keep it consistent, I accidentally skipped to the empty basked instead of putting something in the basket. I'd even make those steps part of the step-by-step guide I suggested instead of the current hierarchy.
Could you elaborate on that? From my extremely limited knowledge it does seem like a just-so explanation (what you're responding to), but I'm not sure why.
"discovering sock puppet accounts by comparing simple grammar signatures (relative ratios of parts of speech used in their text, along with other features like where adverbs and prepositions are used)."

Please write about that. I remember someone on HN claimed to be able to group accounts belonging to a single individual. When challenged, they offered to email the commenter their own alternate username, and the commenter later replied confirming they were correct. I can't find the the thread now. It might have been minimaxir?

One of the ideas lodged in the back of my mind since the time of Twisted Metal 2, is to stick a 3d map of my hometown in an arcade ‘sandbox’-style racing game. Might be possible one day when we get cheap mainstream drones with laser rangefinders.

I'd like to do something constructive, maybe tutoring the local college and high school students, but since people are mentioning index funds: I bought a couple Vanguard funds about 8 years ago and have been maintaining an average return of 10-12% which is almost enough to pay rent. I used some of the returns to help pay the down payment for my condo. Now, my rent won't go up anymore. My mortgage isn't much more than my old rent and less actually then one of my previous places. It's also about double the size and arguably in a better location. If I ever get another job some where else and because of it's location I can rent it out extremely easy.

it solves the cloud provider problems.

if everyone make their platform out of those small and generic blocks, it will be very easy for them to provide standar services around the blocks. while if you had an efficient and sane application with two of the basic concepts those blocks provides coded in, the cloud providers would have to provide custom bindings for all the things they wrap around the small blocks. making their lives much more difficult.

thats why you mostly see larger companies advertising the sexiness of containers. because they are either the cloud provider, or they already are binded to a cloud provider, or they work internally by departments that in the end act much like cloud providers anyway.
The subject is well known to those who are interested.

Game Boy didn't have state of the art hardware when it released, it had reliable hardware. Its competitors had color screen and what not; they all failed.
That's a lot of trees though and it cancels out only a decade.

So far, all of the experiments to make everyone equal have resulted in soviet-style housing for the many and well-appointed dachas for the few -- and that's at best. I'm doubtful that future experiments will have a different result.
The problem is that the changes you propose rip out the framework that allowed our country to become a leader in many respects, show me a socialist or communist country that innovates, there are none, they all come to capitalist countries to learn and compete, your missing the forest for the trees mate.
Capital holders have most of the power, due to the unemployment pool.

> No, you can become your own employer, for example.

Not without capital, and you generally get capital by already having capital (collateral).

> It depends on the state of the market. Right now, the job market is supposedly very good for programmers (employees).

Good for programmers! But in general, the job market is not as good for most people as it is for programmers.

> Employers are offering to trade their money in exchange for other people doing some task they want done.

Right, this is a "voluntary" transaction entered by both people, but the argument is that there is a power imbalance that influences this transaction and tips the scales toward the employer (in the general sense, I'm sure we can find single examples where this is not the case).

Not only this, but the balance is tipped even further by a system that overwhelmingly encourages debt (yes, voluntary, I know, but socially involuntary), essentially shackling people to needing higher amounts of income (and therefor relying on their employer more).

It's possible to be debt-free and have a high-paying job, but it's exceedingly difficult, and you're essentially limited to a handful of industries.

It's a good article; since it was published, we've released bpftrace as a high-level front end. It's a much easier interface than bcc, and great for one-liners and short scripts.

https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace/blob/master/docs/referen...

bpftrace has alreay been packaged by Debian, Canonical, and others. Maybe you can try it with just an apt-get install bpftrace, or snap install bpftrace.

bcc is great for complex tools and daemons. Right now at Netflix I'm coding in both.
Another possibility: eliminate private ownership of land. This is actually not as radical as it sounds.

Historically, what follows this is mass poverty.

The mindset shift is to go back to the native american idea that all land is collectively owned by the people.

Native Americans tended to go to war when one group infringed on another's territory.

The government is the "management company" that administers it, and one of the things it can do is offer long-term leases.

The government struggles administering drivers licenses. And wherever they've been the landlord, the results have almost universally been impoverished ghettos.
Social security is underfunded and also there is a lot of pressure to not raise the retirement age despite changing demographics. So from one side there was lobbying to give tax cuts instead of funding it and there is also a lot of lobbying to not raise retirement age.

So billionaires and the AARP both get their way most likely at the cost of future generations.

As an amateur shade tree mechanic myself I have so many questions! Feel free to ignore if you feel you'd be giving away your secret sauce.

1. Where do you find buyers? I'd be concerned about inventory either piling up or taking too long to sell at a price that even breaks even when you are spending time/money on fixing.

2. Do you feel your value-add is more on the sales side as a broker or is it in the repairs? I know people who just flip cars and do extremely minimal "freshing up" and are also profitable/successful.

3. How do you keep up with the increasingly locked down and opaque ECUs and other systems? More and more diagnostics require factory wizardry these days.

4. You implied that you do paint and body work. Where/how did you learn and become proficient? Most auto repairs are pretty much "follow the steps" work anyone can learn from YouTube, but body work is artistry.

5. Do you worry about liability? I'm OK fixing my own car since if I screw up it's my ass on the line. I'd be less confident in sending the car off to grandma, even if I knew what I was doing.

I used Thunderbird, then sylpheed when I was on Linux, then gmail, then App.mail on osx... with the Mail-Butler add-on (I schedule my mails a lot)...

I always wanted to leave App.mail, and then Mail-Butler 2 went broke and begun losing scheduled mail (sic).

Thus, I got the motivation to switch back to Thunderbird which might be old and clunky, but mail is old and clunky.

I am super-fine with Thunderbird right now. It's stable. It's free. It got tons of add-ons. It's a great piece of software.

PS : I used pegasus mail on windows 3.11 and I loved it for its simplicity and good choice of features
Replacing Google Analytics with GoAccess
I understand, but from that perspective, pretty much everything in "developed" countries is non-essential, including personal computers (whether desktop, laptop, smartphone, or tablet) and forums like this one to discuss such things. Think of the toxic waste created by all those computers, and the greenhouse gases created by shipping them all over the place! And to what end?
This makes me wonder - could trees be modified genetically to handle more CO2 in order to make this number lower? Could we, instead of trees, have huge walls made of plants that would consume our CO2?

Yes. Looks like Wikipedia confirms, so don't let dentists probe your teeth!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_explorer

" Some dental professionals have questioned this practice in the first decade of the twenty-first century.[1][2] The use of a sharp explorer to diagnose caries in pit and fissure sites is no longer recommended and clinicians instead should rely on "sharp eyes and a blunt explorer or probe." Penetration by a sharp explorer can actually cause cavitation in areas that are remineralizing or could be remineralized. "
No, those are trying to be profitable, and the fact that they aren't makes them more menacing, more willing to screw over workers, game regulations, and buy political favor.
You can 'store it', but it leaks over time.

If you were to buy 10 billion cubic metres of helium today as a hedge on prices rising in 10 years, you may well return to find that you have significantly less in 10 years time.

The ways it's 'stored' are

a) in large [very] deep caves, which is the sort of investment an individual cannot generally make as you don't own your property to the centre of the earth.

b) in cryogenic thick walled tanks with the understanding that you will lose helium constantly, but are able to replace it with new helium. This requires a 'constant' resupply of helium, plus energy expenditure in the form of keeping it cryogenically chilled. This isn't a 'long term' storage plan, and assumes that helium prices stay low.

c) by extracting it from the ground - this is how we get helium on earth as it is, we find it in pockets alongside natural gas at reasonably great depths. This is essentially tapping into the planet's own version of method 'a'.

Method 'a' is the only real 'long term storage' we can do, and even then it leaks as long as there is some method to remove it again from the storage.
Yes, of course. That is why the US was the first nation to send a man to space, or have high speed bullet trains, or have accessible healthcare for everyone. Oh wait.

It doesn't look like they factored in the CO2 emissions from planting that many trees.

The actual presentation:

https://aaas.confex.com/aaas/2019/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/23744

Under a business-as-usual climate scenario our model suggests that warming would drive the loss of ~55 gigatons of carbon from the upper soil horizons by 2050. This value is around 12–17 per cent of the expected anthropogenic emissions over this period.
This seems like it could help the problem but there are serious consequences to enacting it.

Inheritance tax is making it expensive to trasnfer a family-owned farm down the generations, and as a result they are sold to corporations instead. Bigger, wealthier families avoid the tax altogether by using legal methods, which makes the inheritance tax burden mostly fall on the poorer farmers. Removing ownership of land would do nothing to combat this. In fact, if farmers didn’t own their land, things would get worse, not better: they would have no incentive to use long-term (costlier) agricultural strategies, since they wouldn’t have any guarantee they’d benefit from it. Further, they’d be less likely to invest in long term equipment. Guess who would? Larger corporations. In other words, this proposal would exactly concentrate the wealth to big corporations, perhaps the opposite of your intention.
Not really a productive venture, but it was profitable. I used a 3% cashback credit card on a financial company's money sending service with no fees, and sent my sister $3,500 every two days. She'd then eventually pay me back through bank ACH (also free). Then I'd pay off my credit card every week so my credit balance remained low. Made about $1,500 a month for a year, before they stopped giving cashback for transfers.
And you should be born with a trust fund and not have let people convince you to take on overwhelming debt when you were 17 and naive. It's all very simple.

Granted, I agree with you about emergency saving, but a lot of people don't have the extra laying around when they're shackled to debt.
I would actually like to hear a little more about why the tolerances were poor. Were the major diameters the issue here? I could see a lot of adjustment happening on a car-to-car basis to get concentricity between the alternator fan and the shroud just right. I have very little experience with Porsches, but am a coordinate metrologist for a major aerospace parts manufacturer. I don't see something like this being a huge issue, at least compared to what I deal with on a day-to-day basis.

Edit: I actually looked into it a little more- it looks like the part is probably machined from casting given that there appear to be four stators which also locate the center mounting point. That's where the concentricity would be set; not by the casting, but by the machining of the center flange. So assuming that the fan's mounting points are within spec, I would say that your friend's part could just be chalked up to machining process that leaves something to be desired. This is actually a trickier part if machined from casting (without the appropriate tooling), but actually pretty simple (and wildly expensive) if machined from billet.
If it's fundamentally the same situation, why would NIMBYism be any different? People will still care about their neighborhoods in much the same way.
Here’s a framework we’ve been developing for this purpose, delivered as a python cookiecutter:

https://github.com/hackalog/cookiecutter-easydata

The framework makes use of conda environments, python 3.6+, makefiles, and jupyter notebooks, so if that tooling fits into your data/ML workflow.

We gave a tutorial on the framework at Pydata NYC, and it’s still very much in active development - we refine it with every new project we work on. The tutorial is available from:

https://github.com/hackalog/bus_number

While it works well for our projects, the more real-world projects we throw at it, the better the tooling gets, so we’d love to hear from anyone who want to give it a shot.
Not at a profit, iirc correctly. Taxes and dealer license comes into play.
I was in the same boat. I’ve used Thunderbird since it was first released but eventually found my way to a mu4e setup. I’m happy about the switch because I do so much in emacs already but Thunderbird was perfectly fine for me otherwise.
Noob question here: what is stopping nature doing this, seeds and all that?
Both Thomas Piketty and Branko Milanovic have made similar arguments in their respective tomes. The 1950s to 70s in the West were an exception, maybe.
Yes, I have read that, and find it... I'm not sure of the best word, maybe daunting? From what I've read, the Wannsee conference was convened with the expectation that they would have to convince a bunch of middle-management bureaucrat types that switching to organized mass-murder was necessary. Apparently, much to their surprise, everyone agreed right away, and immediately started coming up with their own ideas to make it run more smoothly and efficiently. Apparently, nobody at all raised any objections or even dragged their feet at the idea of organizing mass murder.
IMO non-whites can’t trust the police, they can’t trust white people, and they know interactions with either is likely to lead to their death. How much longer before they say it’s better to die fighting, and start shooting first? I’m angry at those men walking their dogs. They are just as much to blame for this as the police.
There are now services like Equifax Workforce Solutions and The Work Number (and another I can't remember) that records this information for inquiry by future employers. If you have third-party payroll your salary info is almost certainly reported to such a bureau.
That explanation actually kind of makes it worse.
Generally it's sales over a handful a year. It'd take him long enough to fix one up that he'd fewer than the limit I think.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio is of relevance here. WW1 already had an almost 1:1 ratio, though this ratio isn't really indicative of atrocities per se. E.g. previously you might have rather seen pillaging. Going a bit back, the people's crusade of 1096 mostly pillaged European cities and landscape.

Maybe there is some kind of survivor bias in open jobs.
That is, jobs that are desirable are filled in a few days. Crummy jobs stay open for months. So, therefore, most open jobs are bad.
>Mostly zoning laws, burdensome regulations and government subsidies, really. If housing, education and healthcare still cost in real terms what they did in 1950 then people could afford to work 20 hours a week if they wanted to, but they're stuck working 40 hours because of government policies that cause price inflation and cost disease.

You arguing this is really ironic because the only reason they're working only 40 hour weeks to begin with is labor regulation. The free market didn't give factory workers 8 hour shifts.
Not strictly true, regularization in various forms can help have expert knowledge apply to create better extrapolation. Parametric models could be thought of as a kind of regularization even.
MemSQL could be a good fit if you need a SQL-based data warehousing tool. They have pretty good integration with Kafka and BI tools.

This article is an excerpt from the book Turing's Cathedral, which, coincidentally, I'm currently reading. Sometimes I wish it went into a little more technical detail (and I think it's a little too charitable toward von Nuemann and the IAS) but it's still a worthwhile read and I think covers that era much more completely and with more depth than other works.
Anyway if you like that article, the book is equally fascinating throughout.
> Given economic stratification, collapse is very difficult to avoid and requires major policy changes, including major reductions in inequality and population growth rates. Even in the absence of economic stratification, collapse can still occur if depletion per capita is too high.

Mass migration of the poor, who have second and third generations at higher-than-host-normal birthrates sounds like a major trigger of this kind of summary collapse.

It both directly increases inequality and secondarily increases inequality by taxing the middle class harder, at the same time it causes a population bloom.

Under this HANDY model, the mass migration in response to stalled US population growth could be the proximate trigger for a US social collapse.
You too, buddy. I've been here and on Lobste.rs mostly. All my CompSci papers are in my Lobsters stories if you want to check those out.

" The Snowden documents and Hayden's comment on killing people based on metadata made it clear something that's anonymous by default was the way to go."

Definitely a concern. Definitely should be an option. Just gotta remind you that the NSA and some other groups automatically classify people using Tor as folks to watch. Whereas, HTTPS at McDonald's WiFi doesn't get that designation. Avoiding Tor can help you avoid getting noticed in the first place. Depends on user's threat model. So, make sure it supports ability to not use Tor even if Tor is default.

"and after I asked about OnionShare's (that's also written on Python) Tor connectivity, Micah Lee kindly pointed me to the direction of Stem. Stem's author Damian Johnson and other members of Tor Project were really helpful and I can't thank them enough."

Sounds like how OSS development and communities are supposed to work! :)

"DoS is indeed one of the unsolvable problems."

Good thinking so far. For non-anonymous routes, perhaps investigate some setup that operates behind Cloudfare to get their DDOS resistance. They just become an extension of the untrusted, network component. Could make that part modular so users can swap out the service provider or even use their own anti-DDOS appliances in data center with big pipes. It's just hard to beat the big, centralized providers since vast majority of solving DDOS is huge pipes and the right hardware/software for detection.

yes. ands this already happens everywhere around you.

you can't import cars from one place to another, because of emissions. you do not have the rigth to roam on most of the world like you have still in some very select places (e.g. scotland), because of property rights and national security. You can't market any food becuase of public health. Etc.
