Yes, I often use SumatraPDF, but there's always those super-complicated Turing-complete documents which use web-based-aunthenticated-signed God-knows-what, that won't open in anything other than Acrobat.
I completely agree with you; they're using "vulnerable" incorrectly to mean something like "humble" or "modest".
I thought that was clear when messenger tried began to tie in other apps like uber / lyft and whatever they use for collecting payments.
NetSol were scammy long before the web.com purchase. Back in 2007/2008 they were "front-running" meaning that if you searched for a domain name and didn't buy immediately, those dickheads would buy the domain and then demand a much higher price to sell it to you. Then when they got called out for it they tried to act all "oh, this is for YOUR benefit."[1] And they blatantly lied about the details of what they were doing.

I don’t believe that looking out for one’s own interests (“selfish”) is wrong. My dad taught me a valuable lesson as a child- the world owes you nothing and as long as you understand that you'll be fine. I take that to mean that nobody else will look out for you so you have to do what's best for you.

In my situation, my employees profited nicely from a PE acquisition. They all got a sizeable transaction bonus. Not only that, they received additional job security with the backing of a large company.
Yes and yes (for me it's a bit over $10 a month).
My experience with NetSol was they were bad to begin with when they were given a monopoly to charge for DNS registrations in 1995.
Yes I think I remember RescueTime but that doesn't store your data locally I think?
If you're saying the ACA didn't completely fix the US healthcare system, I strongly agree.

If you're saying the ACA harmed the health care system, strong disagree. Again: the cost increases you're talking about were a fact of life before the ACA. There is no evidence that your costs would have leveled off without the ACA, and substantial evidence that the opposite would have happened.
We would love to copy something like this at our company, but given the large employee count and costs involved self reporting is definitely not a feasible option.
I happen to agree that the system is broken and getting worse, but that's not necessarily a good metric for whether you should change any given system now.
Wasn't this kind of filesystem an abandoned plan for one of the (now old) versions of Windows? Like Windows 2000 or XP? I don't remember why they ditched this plan. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all, who knows.
Couldn't you open it in a browser? Or does it want to install regardless of if you open Adobe?
Same rates, lower overall income, and in some places lower social security contributions.
pornhub is one of Mindgeek's properties. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MindGeek I've never understood their business model - they seem to host endless illegally uploaded porn yet more and more porn seems to be being created. Not clear where the money is made ultimately. Mindgeek dominate the online porn world which gets huge traffic.

I pay a fiver a month for a newspaper subscription. That feels about the right level to me. It's a lot less than I used to pay for physical newspapers but I tend to gauge the value of things in terms of what Spotify and Netflix cost these days.
It's something that was fought around the implementation of the Patriot act, but still needs to be fought. The lack of transparency or ability to easily ask for redress or correction of problems is a significant withholding of due process for many suspects (not convicted or charged) who basically have quasi-warrants out on them by being on the list.

Checking the list via facial recognition adds extra dimensions to the problem, but is the same core problem.

Edit: In fact, the employer's HSA custodian (unless it's Fidelity), probably charges you a few basis points for investing your HSA funds, so it's actually much better for you to transfer the funds out into your own Fidelity HSA immediately.
Thanks. It's been a long while since I've dealt with the situation.
I prefer subtitles to go with all speech whether from a native speaker or not.

PornHub is a Youtube competitor, as long as you want porn. Trying to expand beyond that seems like it would be off brand.
> Over the course of the 19th century and 20th centuries, these older senses of vanity, of the vain futility of life, fell away. And as a result, what we see today is that when people post on social media, there’s no sense of their own limitations as humans. There’s often little modesty, or little fear that one could be going too far in self-promotion.

Apparently I was raised with outdated values, since I am pretty much always aware of the vain futility of life and the serious limitations of my humanity. I don't understand the current culture of constant self-promotion and especially the public advertising of what used to be considered moral failings.

I lived over half my life without the internet, though, so it's not hard for me to imagine a world without smartphones and the online world. I spent a lot of time in the mid-90s online, then was mostly offline for over five years, then connected again around 2003 or so. For the past few months I have been seriously considering going completely offline again, and my current work situation makes that possible except for a handful of administrative tasks that would take maybe ten minutes a week. If I completely disappear from here, I've followed through on the thought.

I think the point of TFA might be that the damage to our culture due to always being connected outweighs the benefits. It sure seems that way to me.
> The IJOP center also sends officials to investigate cases when an individual’s phone, ID card, or vehicle has gone “off-grid.” Screen 15 displays the prompt sent to officials requesting them to investigate a phone number that the system has lost track of. The officer is prompted to probe, using a drop-down menu, why the phone went off-grid. The officer is then asked to note whether the person questioned seems suspicious and whether the case needs further investigation.

> ...

> The IJOP system also alerts officials when people are using phones that do not belong to them, giving the officials information about the case and the personal particulars of the person who is registered to the phone account, such as their ID number (see screen 19). It is unclear how the system “knows” that a person is using a phone that does not belong to them.[80] Officials are again required to log the reasons for the mismatch and decide if the person is suspicious.[81]

This technique especially scary for people concerned about privacy, because it means passive attempts to avoid surveillance will invite more direct invasions.
Why Are So Many Women Rejecting Medical Science?
You didn't ruffle my feathers, but I can easily see how you'd ruffle the feathers of someone who's invested a tremendous amount of time into a new language.

> but can't help but think the time would be better spent adding feature Y to language X, but didn't mean to start anything :-)

When people create new languages, the premise is rarely along the lines of: "I like this language, but if it only had this feature." The truth is there are a whole slew of very legitimate reasons for creating a new language. Many of those reasons are predicated on the idea that the mainstream alternatives have too many wrong features and/or it would be difficult-impossible to fix those flaws by adding new features. As you already know, it's a lot harder to remove a feature from a mainstream language than it is to introduce a new feature, so languages tend to become more complicated as time goes on. New languages tend to provide a clean slate and opportunity to learn from the mistakes of its predecessors.

Another reason to create new languages: New languages often act as the test bed for ideas that eventually end up in mainstream languages. As mainstream languages mature, they rely on more experimental languages to introduce ideas so they can be tested. The only way to test these ideas is to have people write programs in these languages and study the outcome. With that being said, if it wasn't for the experimental languages, mainstream languages would not likely have things like objects, or lambda functions, continuations, type inferencing, polymorphic type systems, etc.

So, if you find yourself being down-voted for asking questions like, "why don't you just add feature Y to language X", it's because you're in the wrong venue. You're not the first to ask the question. I'm not the first to answer it, so you're bound to ruffle feathers.
While obviously it is much better than the likes of Daily Mail,it is still far far from being really good. A lot of articles are often opinionated and present journalist's opinion in a much stronger way than the facts themselves. Also,there are many poorly researched articles,where one feels that the journalist is clearly out of his/her depth..It's very similar ro Stacey Dooley,who covers amazing subjects, however the questions asked are like something you'd expect from 6th grade school journalism contest...

I mean, Mathematica is a truly great, great piece of software, but his "New Kind of Science" was both utterly worthless and a fantastic treatise on how a person's grandiose religion of self leads to utter delusion.
I sometimes read papers but I find them an absolute pain to read them on my phone because the two aren't really designed for each other. So I end up with this frustrating experience of zooming in/out to read this bits I'm interested in - which is impossible to do one handed!

I know there's that arxiv vanity thing, which is cool, but most of the time I get the "sorry we can't render this" error message.
At Scylla we initially defined a new filesystem which adheres shard-per-core and thus a single physical hyperthread has the sole access to the data and thus there is no contention.

While it will be better than current XFS, we've made aio improvement to the later over the years and today it's good enough for ScyllaDB.

Practically, even though Scylla has its tcp/ip stack in userspace on top of DPDK, we learned over the years that it's ok to use the less efficient kernel tcp stack. Most of the overhead and the optimizations can still happen within the DB itself as long as it controls the memory, the cache and manages the networking queues
Assuming you are wondering why they don't create a non-porn video site, the reason is that these sites live off ad revenue, and mainstream advertisers don't want their brand associated with porn.
Filling in the GraphQL pipeline: Ready-to-use code generation
PDF is based on PostScript, which is a Page Description Language (PDL) also from Adobe. The first PostScript printer, the Apple LaserWriter, launched the desktop publishing revolution. The interesting thing about PostScript is that it is a full programming language, with loops and conditionals and so on. When Adobe designed PDF, they kept the same imaging model as PostScript, but stripped out the programming language. Thus they ended up with a dynamic page description language (PostScript) for media (printers) that cannot fully take advantage of a dynamic PDL, and a static PDL (PDF) for media (i.e., computer screens) that could have benefited from a full programming language!

I've been working on an open source PDF library for C# [1] and its given me an immense appreciation for the PDF format.

Sure it's horribly long, complex, comes with vulnerabilities and different consumers have different behaviour. But given the constraints of machines at the time it was created and the wide range of requirements and usages it's pretty damn good and has stood the test of time.

Currently my mother has a Pictures folder which contains her pictures, where she can open them with the default photo viewer, with an editing program, and where she can trivially add files or make backups with the Windows Explorer. Any alternative interface I can imagine that offers the same flexibilty of using the same picture in multiple programs just ends up mimicking files.

There's room to replace traditional folder structures with paths or anything else, and most traditional file system implementations have really slow search. But I don't see a future in replacing the notion of a file, it maps too well to the intentions of the user.
I wonder if there are more 'universal' images that would be able to have the same effect across populations?

I could imagine this type of thing going in art galleries, evoking different tailored emotions.
Using your goalposts I'd argue a paper napkin is the most important file format. It's readable & writeable by 7 billion wetware programs, including the drunk ones, and even a first grader can make use of it.
It's really just the moralistic people pressuring advertisers. Minors can find a way to get their hands on a Playboy, but we don't stop selling Playboy in shops just because that can happen.

People interact online through a select few pieces of tech: smart phone apps, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter. Just saying "adult sites exist" is like telling people to drive over to the wrong side of town and shuffle into a seedy porn theater. The malware-laced pop-up ads, and the lack of creative, multifaceted sexual expression, is what happens when you effectively banish a form a culture from the commons.
I find this both disturbing and fascinating from the perspective that this is essentially an attempt at developing a saliency map of a living organism... so instead of XAI it would be XI?
The story of tumblr is really not about free speech suppression. They had a mix of explicit and non-explicit content, and had to choose one to decide what kind of advertisers to pursue. They chose non-explicit and it didn't work.

That's fair, but I think it is nice to have some alternatives that are free and open. Furthermore, some people might have sensitive data which they wouldn't feel comfortable uploading to the cloud.

Also, I wanted to ask: were you using Gooogle Vision, as when I was doing the research it seemed that they do not allow you to export the model.
Indeed, relatedly, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 853 Alfred was consecrated king by the Pope; I believe that it is theorised, quite plausibly, that this was an important influence in later life.

If you save your receipts for any medical care you or anyone else has received that you paid for, you can withdraw from your HSA to "reimburse" yourself at any point in time, including the future.

Q39 at bottom of page 18 of following IRS document:

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-04-50.pdf

Have a baby? Save that receipt showing payment for $5k from your post tax dollars, and let the money in your HSA grow tax free for however long you can, and then when you need it (e.g. in retirement), reimburse yourself for the birthing expenses.

It's the first place your savings should go. It's easiest to just model the HSA as a triple tax advantage savings account as long as you pdf receipts for payments for medical expenses. Which you might not in 20s and 30s, but surely will into 40s and definitely 50s, and you can use it for payments you made for other people's medical expenses too. And even if you need to withdraw from it for an emergency, the penalty is only 10%.
I tried it and didn't like the model. Paying per article is just crazy, it makes you feel like you have to watch what you're spending all the time.
I'd rather a fixed amount that leads me read as much or as little as I choose

By serious unforeseen circumstances I mean things like getting cancer or being crippled in a freak car accident. Nobody's going to do either of these things just to get out of government duty.

Also, what's important is for the sample to be representative, so it's fine if a very motivated minority gets out of it, as long as it doesn't create a significative bias in the lottery.

But yes, they should be paid handsomely. And as I mentioned in another comment, their debts should be paid in full to make them less vulnerable to bribes.
Even better, make a domain type encapsulating the constraint.

I just got back a month-long trip by myself. It was interesting to note that a ton of people I talked to before going, friends, family, acquaintances, were all shocked I would travel alone. The overwhelming response was, "aren't you going to get lonely?" I think it's important to be alone and enjoy your own company.

Working remotely too, I get a very similar question. "Don't you miss working with people?" I work with people all the time, but I think that being alone magnifies the effect of spending quality time with people, rather than just spending time together for the sake of being together.
Individualism in America is the main cause... if you just got taxed and didn't have to worry about healthcare, people wouldn't care, but they all think that it could never happen to them.

HP announced their ambition to do that a few years ago, framing it as a grand vision of the future of computing. I haven't heard anything since. This kind of offloading or distributed computing isn't quite a new idea, but it hasn't materialized yet. I suspect that it is too tough a nut to crack for the general case.
It seems grossly irresponsible to encourage the use of serializable without even mentioning deadlocks. I guess you won't have deadlocks if your db interprets as serializable as "lock the whole database on transaction start", but that means literally no concurrency whatsoever, which also seems like a grossly irresponsible recommendation.

I dunno, maybe I didn't get the memo that the database of the future will be single-threaded.
I'm not sure how you got that string, since there's no charset except full-Unicode ones that would contain both ∆ and œ, and compressed binary text isn't going to appear to be UTF-16 or UTF-8, so I don't see any obvious charset you could be using.

Hmm. Maybe your charset is Windows-1253, and unassigned characters are being supplanted with the equivalent codepoints from Windows-1252?

One way to show that car transport is much more "valuable" than public transport in terms of convenience and comfort is to observe that very rich people almost universally travel by private car.

To be fair, there are always objections to any working piece of technology.

It's not helpful to claim "it was never good design". It was a working design that drove technology to the point it is now, and in that sense it was hugely successful. What kind of perfect and pure tech do some people want, anyway? Pick anything, whatever they like -- say, Plan 9 or OS/2 or whatever -- and I can bet you in a parallel universe where that tech won, someone on para-HN will claim that it sucked and it was never a good design and if only Unix had won.
These private equity scams seem to revolve around borrowing money, transferring the debt to a separate legal entity that then declares bankruptcy, and pocketing the money. If that’s true, then it would seem that creditors (and AL taxpayers in this case) end up holding the bag. How are savvy lenders falling for this?
