I don't know, automatic subtitles on youtube suck for anything that is not average tone, voice, speed or vocabulary. Not to mention if you don't speak english.

Paying $26 for something similar doesn't feel good value.

We've tried something like this during a french python conf to get subtitles for deaf people. It was impossible to even understand the result.
One of my main use cases for a VPN is appearing from different countries. I also anonymize my traffic. If I own the VPS, that traffic can be tracked to my quite easily. I use a VPN for these things a couple times a week. I can (and do) use my own VPN just to secure my traffic on untrusted networks, but there's more to it that just that.
>Patrick Gibbs:

First your citing the Cooley attorney who advised the company...of course he is going to justify his own legal advice.

It’s not going to look good when the court determines Kik knew if could have sought clarification from the SEC but didnt Because the SEC no Action Letter process wasn’t practical.

Let’s also keep in mind Cooley is the Firm that developed the SAFT (security agreement for future tokens) released their SAFT whitepaper into the wild telling startups to use their SAFT legal framework to raise money with ICOs legally and these are some of the first companies the SEC targeted for enforcement actions.
This is what is necessary for me to buy an iPad Pro. I really like the idea of the device, but I can't justify the price unless I can share it and have personal and work stuff on there too.
> The one and only thing that you cannot do is offer a commercial version of CockroachDB as a service without buying a license.

How much a SaaS has to do to not be consider as selling CockroachDB as is?

These questions apart is worth noting that AWS can still copy CockroachDB APIs, rename it AWS Ants, and called it a day.
Maybe they want a higher total comp than $200-250k/yr. If they were a Director or VP at a big public company, they could easily bring in $500k+/yr TC.
Hm, yeah, that seems fair.

I guess I was thinking of the periodic timer reset as part of the watchdog mechanism. Maybe another difference is whether the interaction with the timer is manual.
The ideal worker in today's economy is "T" shaped ('shallow' knowledge in many areas, deep in a specific area) with the ability to move the "fulcrum" of that "T" based on market needs.

The class of 2019 will probably have a career of 45+ years, the economy is only going to get more dynamic and winner take all in my view -- your domain focus will probably have to change every ~8-12 years.

As a programmer, I feel like we have great flexibility in this regard. You can work on mobile, you can work on the cloud, or the web.. in banking, semiconductors.. insurance.. hell, even for government if things get tight.
I'm not an expert on this issue in any way, but my instinct is that there would be more acceleration during take-off. When landing, the plane has already decelerated to just above the minimum speed to maintain lift (nearly stalling), and doesn't have to come to a complete stop on the straight part of the runway before turning off to wherever it's going to de-board. Conversely, during take-off the plane goes from zero to hopefully well above the speed to generate lift.

Also, the plane tilts by up to 20 degrees.
It's not like your mom without UTF-8 and without GPG is protected against phishing either. UTF-8 lookalikes are only a teeny-tiny fraction of any phishing.

It's stupid anyways to rely on never having UTF-8 because most clients do it to the extent of making lookalikes possible, but not so that it's usable for internationalized e-mails. If anything, e-mail clients should have built-in warning against such attacks as well as you using proper methods of determining who you're e-mailing.
”How does customer sign in and keep their same account on the new phone?”

I would guess by keeping their Apple ID. AFAIK, you don’t have to buy anything from Apple to get one.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316:

”An Apple ID is the account you use to access Apple services like iCloud, the App Store, the iTunes Store, Apple Music, and more. It includes the email address and password that you use to sign in”

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316#web:

”Use a web browser
If you need to create an Apple ID on your device — including your Android device or Apple TV — you can usually follow the steps provided when you set up your device or Apple service for the first time”
I'm not implying they break down. I'm saying that people like to drive cars with "new car smell". I'm against unnecessary green-washed conspicuous consumption.
> So it’s not practicable in a business that’s moving as quickly as this business was in 2016, 2017, to go and ask the SEC for a no action letter like that because the process just takes too long...

I empathize with what Mr. Gibbs is saying, and—if he speaks the truth—feeling, but it was Kik's choice to run a "quickly moving business" in a highly regulated arena.

People make the same arguments about security/privacy ("too much of a hassle in a quickly moving startup"), safety ("we can't afford to put two people in this test vehicle for autonomous driving") and so forth.

Kik might be right in this specific case, but in general "We're moving too quickly to deal with red tape" is not an argument.
They are looking to be the test case to set a precedent in order to force clarity around securities laws that are outdated and unclear when being applied to cryptocurrencies
Runway ML announces public beta
"Sign In with Apple" - the likely effects of this policy change is frankly great as far as I'm concerned, but its another example of the industry trying to police privacy itself. I think the net effect of Apple's decision is likely positive, but they've effectively been forced to almost abuse their dominant market position to do it.

In a better functioning world, I'd have hoped this kind of thing would have been driven by sensible legislation across the entire industry, rather than relying on the good intentions of Apple and the success of the App Store to push the change.
I wasn't able to find a link to the new license in the blog post but it is in their github repo for anyone interested https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/blob/master/license...
Only if they grandfather existing apps. We made the decision a long time ago to support FB login. That decision now requires us to either stop having an app in iOS, remove FB login (which a good portion of people use exclusively), or implement a new authentication provider _that won't work for people that already have an account with us_.

Again, the tech is fine. The strong-arm is indefensible.
Electric cars aren't worse for the environment. Consumerism is.
I think thirty bytes of ASCII text was too expensive, as opposed to translation prices which might be much cheaper.
Can you tell more about what is the "Tesonet scandal"?

I've heard such shady stuff about NordVPN that I would never trust them with their data, also would never trust any other VPN provider.

EDIT: I thing I've found it:

https://restoreprivacy.com/lawsuit-names-nordvpn-tesonet/

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17258203

I was informed before not to use NordVPN for their (anecdotal) shady practices, but the fact that ProtonMail is in this crap too - I do not know who to trust anymore when I am buying "privacy" online.
How we define “basics” is important.

We have to earn the generalist label - the generalist has his own form of specialization.

From what I’ve seen, the successful generalist’s command over the basics is so strong that you wonder why they never specialized deeper. The generalist has a good mental map of the territory and solves problems very proficiently, though perhaps not as quickly or rigorously as someone more specialized in a specific sliver of the problem domain.

(anecdotal from my own journey learning how to program and initially feeling frustrated by the lack of market for generalists)
It should, but with a 24MP camera you can create ~50GBs of compressed RAW files per session pretty easily so, a TB of storage won’t do.

If you add a high performance spinning disk its performance won’t be enough and it will be noisy even when idle.

In the end, it’s better to not add anything and let professionals bring their own storage into the mix.

At the end of the day this won’t be sold to new beginners with no files. The buyers will have their resilient storage and the internal drive won’t be used much anyway.

Unless it’s configured as a developer workstation, but it’s generally MacBook Pro’s role.
Telling that all respondents so far named something completely different.
> Mozilla is very up-front about exactly what telemetry data they're collecting and what it's used for

You can see the telemetry data that engineers look at themselves (https://telemetry.mozilla.org/new-pipeline/dist.html). It's not very detailed.
Mr. Lacker, congratulations on this, it looks wonderful, a kind of practical libertarian Banksy.

An obvious use would be microblogging platforms. What structural obstacles remain for such an app on Axiom to become competitive with Twitter, etc.?
Don't they just need windows at emergency exits? Passengers are already supposed to await cabin crew instructions before they evacuate, and passengers probably aren't really that great at evaluating danger aside from the obvious signs like fire or being under water, but the exit door window would also tell you that.
That would be absolutely insane. Aircraft development would halt.
green texts are such a thing! gross.
Bunker fuel is "crackable". It can be made into lighter fuels and the sulphur removed, it's just expensive to do so.
Your comment is a great insight into modern, black and white thinking, where one is expected to equate working at FB with committing the worst atrocities.

If I had a job, for example, maintaining photo storage at FB, should I be so ethically outraged that I should upend my whole life, and my family's life, to run away as quickly as possible?
But at the end of the day, I'm just taking someone's word for it that this is all they send, and assumes that it won't change over time in a browser that regularly updates itself.

It'd be a lot more acceptable if there was an option to show me "This is the exact telemetry payload we want to send to Mozilla." And even then you are taking someone's word for it that there isn't some other piece of data hidden in a hash or something, or that the browser isn't secretly sending data.

I'm not quite paranoid enough to do the full monitoring of all network traffic, but how do I reasonably know what is going on without listening to traffic/watching memory at all times? In the end, I'm trusting a faceless corporation that is attempting to put on a facade of trustworthiness.

The only trustworthy computer is an unnetworked one.
When sites break, people leave Firefox. No amount of explaining or media changes that: the number one (by far) reason people leave a browser is because a site is broken.
Yeah, to still give them 5 stars for reputation after this whole lawsuit fiasco, is absurd. The apps are mediocre at best, rated just 3.1/5:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/torguard-anonymous-vpn-servi..., so if nothing else his app score is clear evidence of him being impartial.

According to comments on his review they've also added Google trackers/capchas to their login page, something you wouldn't see on a reputable provider.
That is what the sides of the treadmill are for.
I have a feeling it comes down to how it's exposed, and who is "using" cockroachDB.

If Airtable uses cockroachDB then that's fine. The issue is when the cockroachDB is the product that the customer pays for.

For about a decade now, the easiest way to get FreeBSD on your desktop is to install TrueOS (formerly called PC-BSD) - http://www.trueos.com. TrueOS is FreeBSD, and the last time I installed it, you were given an option of simply installing a base FreeBSD system with a minimal package selection, exactly what you are looking for.

TrueOS is run by iXsystems, the same folks who do FreeNAS.

https://torguard.net/faq.php

Is TorGuard related in any way to the “tor” project?

Answer: No, The reference to "tor" in TorGuard relates to "torrents" and guarding one’s privacy when using bitorrent. We are not related in any way to the “tor” project however the company does support through donations.
That maybe true, but it is still no reason for someone who is ethical not to quit. Everyone who has a sense of ethics should quit. Then the company will have staff who are in alignment with its goals.
Wow you're right, I just looked it up. Very nice!
"Funny" story: DC Solar was a big sponsor of NASCAR in multiple series.

Ross Chastain, an amazing driver who was a watermelon farmer, was finally getting his big break and going to a very good car with full season sponsorship from DC Solar. (Most drivers in order to succeed need some kind of sponsorship connection and this was one of those amazing talents with few connections guys so fans were super excited).

Literally within a few weeks of the announcement of sponsorship came the news that DC Solar had been raided by the FBI and the sponsorship was off.

Ross Chastain is back running subpar equipment sponsored by his family's watermelon farm business.
I have similar struggles (double digit years in my career). I've always worked at smaller companies being the jack-of-all-trades. Given the work no one else could, would, or was entrusted to do. I get plagued by recruiters and companies just about every single day from both large tech companies to younger and startups. At almost all the big companies I get onsite at the feedback I get is I'm stronger in one area, and need to work more on another area or I'm not as strong in a specific area they wanted. At this point I feel like I'm stuck grinding LeetCode for the rest of my life to find my way in to these larger companies.

Nothing wrong with smaller companies and startups, but the pay increase and resources available in a larger company are something I would like to experience. Getting my foot in the door is a frustration though.

automated subtitles are bad, i agree. but, in this case, the murderer was autocorrect.
It's a good move and I even welcome it. However, I would have loved to see the removal of their enterprise version of the product at the same time.
I love cockroachdb to death, but the key features that prevent me from using it in any real projects I'm doing are the backup/restore feature, which is currently locked behind their enterprise version. I also would love to use CDC and table partitioning.
Nevertheless, great product.
The idea that the USA has forgotten Japanese concentration camps is fairly out there.

Which is kind of sad, in that there are plenty of government-driven forgettings we have here. E.g. COINTELPRO. Even the history of slavery is subject to government-sponsored campaigns of mnemonological displacement (e.g. the Civil War was about states rights, not slavery!)
'Scusi, I said "they [each core] share the L1/L2 cache". Badly put but I thought on x86 each core had strictly private L1/L2, and L3 was shared across the socket. Am I wrong in thinking L2 is private to each core?
Facebook, Twitter, Google, Bing, Snapchat. I could maybe buy some advertising space directly from the Toronto Star.

Google's probably the best but being better than your competition or offering products they don't doesn't make you a monopoly.
this. so. much.

I am a consultant, and i go through this process every new project. It isn't just getting a new job, its about new projects too at the same company.
Can speak from experience. My whole career has been in startups, and it's been great. But I just accepted an offer at Google. I expect to be bored out of my mind at work, but having WLB and making $400k+ a year -- without having to worry about getting a new job -- will be quite nice. I think it's a decent trade off.

But it's kind of sad that the place where I can get the most value is seemingly the place where my skills will be utilized the least. It just seems... strange.
There's definitely snob, but SMS is a really bad protocol by today's standards. (Most of my family is on RCS (aka Google Chat) now, and it's a huge improvement while still being worse than iMessage.)
I can’t believe people actually write this many words about a really expensive computer. Yikes

We decided to draw the line at whether the end user has direct control over table schemas. If users can specify the schema to be used, it's a database service and needs a license. If you're fitting everything into a generic schema (even if the user can specify things that look like new columns in the UI), it's an application and doesn't need a special license.
Didn't you already trust Mozilla to execute their code on your machine when you installed the browser, in the first place? And to do it remotely with auto-updates.

Not all ICOs are scam. That said the main reason we had those was to able to reach investors directly. Even unaccredited ones. Trying to find a loophole in SEC rules.

Interestingly, I recall reading this article in high school as a class assignment. It was part of a required course for all Freshmen too, with a standardized curriculum.

I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that 13-year-old me was wondering why he’d never heard of the Nacirema before. Until we discussed in class the next day, I didn't realize it was "American" spelled backwards.

Edit: Actually, I think the particular article we read in school was "The Mysterious Fall of the Nacirema". Thank you to UncleSlacky for posting it elsewhere in this thread, I didn't realize there was more than one.

Apple has argued that developers are its customers (in the Pepper lawsuit). What options do developers have? Ignore the iOS market (those most likely to pay money)? There isn't a choice here: you let Apple have 1/3 of all of your revenue and you implement Apple Sign In. Because... competition?...
Don't we actually need net-negative?
I implemented such a buffer in 2006. It was used for fast message passing from user space to the kernel. When a message was too large to fit at the end of the circular buffer, a zero-length message was placed into the remaining space; that indicated "wrap to the beginning". It's so obvious, it must have been implemented numerous times by others before me.

If I were to implement the same thing again, I would just split the messages and use scattered writes (struct iovec) to process them. I cannot remember exactly, but I think the only reason the messages were linear was just for the kernel thread to be able to write them out in a single call.

Oh wait, now I remember; I think the buffers were linear due to the production side: sprintf being used to produce some of the message payloads, and that requiring a linear buffer. But of course it's possible to support both wrapped messages and the "tail space not used" indicator.
Yeah, some framework to encourage reactive design patterns.

At least for Thespian, it allows you to use different system bases like multiprocTCPBase or multiprocUDPbase to run your actors on, which all inherit from a common systemBase class, so you can swap out your base without changing your user code. It's nice for testing b/c you can explicitly split debugging overhead into different parts based on the systemBase you use.

But yeah, one of the difficulties of using these Python concurrency libraries is that the language and runtime don't really help you out. You have to retrofit a lot of your own stuff on the language to enforce certain properties of the model.
It isn't insanity if you used other cryptos to buy big on Kik/Kin and they only way to protect your position is to not have it go away.

> I'm all for that once someone comes up with a rigorous, apolitical calculation for what that value is.

Which is just code for "I'll never support this because I'll never believe you". Dismissing something as "policital" is the easiest out. All it takes is for your political enemies to support something and you have a built-in excuse to refuse to believe it. That is exactly the behavior that led to the circumstance we're in right now, where literally half the voting population of the USA straight up refuses to recognize scientific consensus.

So... this isn't helpful. If you really want good analysis, get in there and help with it. Or at least be willing to accept something as "good enough". But what you wrote there is nothing more than a fancy excuse.
I remember the weekly shopping cadence growing up in a relatively rural new england town, but there was still always the inevitable "milk run" when you ran out of something unexpectedly. With smallish high rise condos it's hard to store a lot of food (kitchen designers assume you don't need a pantry or full size freezer for some reason).

Another factor is that in this age of instant gratification if I were to buy a week's worth of perishables items would go bad because it's so easy to have a shitty day and say screw it, let's go out, get takeout or get delivery (369 restaurants will deliver to me via uber eats) instead of cooking.

Not saying that it's a healthy way to live, but it's become a strong pull over the 10 years since I've made the transition to fully urbanized life. The way we cope, especially after having a baby, is to shop at the local butchers, bakers and markets for fresh stuff every few days and order delivery of heavy bulk goods periodically.

Accidentally running out of flour, coffee filters, half and half, etc., is probably an inevitable side effect.
