That doesn't sound like good health insurance at all. Recently a coworker got a concussion snowboarding and food poisoning that same day. Was in the hospital for 4 days. Total out of pocket? $500, which included the ambulance ride ti the hospital.

We have a pretty typical health plan for a midsize company. At my previous (much larger) employer, her out of pocket would have been about $200.
Yeah, I really miss the road side corn from back home.
From memory, one thing that surprised me was holidays. Thefts decrease in the days before a holiday that's basically just a day off for most people, but thefts increase in the days before a holiday that has a strong tradition for getting together with the extended family.
What did Chrome do exactly? Cause they never said they were disabling ad-blocker extensions. That was the grapevine effect from the Firefox crowd.
There already are lots of books in the public domain or licensed under creative commons. But in general, yes, the same arguments some people use for removing IP restrictions on software apply equally to books. Or music. Or anything else subject to copyright.

I don't mean that at all! I am simply suggesting that mixing multiple cultures, religions and belief systems is harmful to the identity and the self-trust of a nation.

For example, in my city, they are building new pavements. They are building them high enough so a crazy Islamic guy can't run into pedestrians with his car (like one did in France and in Germany).

As a Swiss citizen, I have the right to say I am not happy with that without being accused of racism!

Of course you are welcome here if you are intelligent and respectful (like all the US people I have met here).
> The majority of participants also said that following the advice would have brought their younger self closer to the kind of person they aspired to be, rather than making them more like their “ought self” (that is, the kind of person that other people or society said they should be).

This was the most important sentence for me.
I backup to B2 using Restic. It dedupes while also storing each version with a tag. It's not as fancy as git with the diffs... but my home dir is full of git repos and they are backed up of course.

You can mount your whole backup using FUSE and browse around, or restore to some other directory. Multiple computers? Multiple folders to backup? All handled. It's got ignore/include for your binaries and bundled dependencies and whatnot.

Edit: encrypted by default.
With Craigslist you're generally not looking at a good representation of the "well-equipped or dispositioned" seller; and given the market in the SF Bay area, you're optimizing for one of the highest friction automotive ownership locales in the United States.

If anything you're Also to a degree proving my point on the market at large being skewed toward larger actors; as the capability of the "new entrant" to extract value from the market is significantly diminished. Get that same car to a dealership, and they might even be able to extract even more value for it.

Also, if you're taring the sale at last seller, that's not entirely fair. First sale is what we're discussing, generally represented by first change of hands after factory->reseller.
I believe GL iNET already sells something similar too: https://www.gl-inet.com/
In the biohacker community they are trying to build a legal framework for allowing genetic modification on a personal basis. Right now they get a lot of government heat even doing private research. I think, like the majority of the HN community it seems, you don't have a very good grasp on genetic engineering or the laws around it.
Google never said they were removing ad-blocking. Not sure where you are getting your information.
IMO: it has to do with the number of repeat interactions you will have with people.

When you interact more than twice with the same people, Game Theory says it is better to act honorably. At 2 interactions it is roughly balanced, and with a single interaction it is better (as an individual) to cheat. These assume balanced payoff/penalty, but changing the penalty only works to a certain extent and humans are very bad at evaluating the payoff of low-risk high-penalty actions, essentially becoming used to the risk after a while as they learn from repeated actions that they don't get caught (until they do).

So, the question is why repeat interactions have gone down. I guess larger communities, and better transport means just in terms of regular day-to-day you don't have many repeat interactions, and this changes mindsets of people inclined to crime in terms of what they think they can get away with, at least to start with.

It also explains to some extent the distrust small communities have to strangers, where they are not used to living with that regular stranger-danger that people in cities constantly deal with.
I use Dropbox to sync my home directories across machines. I specifically want them to sync but not version. The reason is that I'll be working on one machine (say at the office), want to continue typing and testing on another machine (say at home), and specifically do NOT want to commit in the half-finished erratic state things may be in.

Dropbox deals with syncing across machines on in instantaneous basis so that all machines have the same thing at every instant, allowing me to change location or machine and keep working. Git deals with versioning.
Alcohol as a party drug now competes with other party drugs in many markets. Particularly cannabis. This is one reason performance of advertising bans might differ from region to region. Cannabis as a party drug has a pretty broad advertising ban in most places, but alcohol does not. If it's a matter of convincing consumers to buy one party drug instead of the other, an alcohol advertising ban could be highly effective in these particular regions.

>You probably don't go out with friends for a beer more often because you saw an ad for a particular brand of beer.

That's an unjustified assumption. It may very well be the case that "go out with friends for a beer" is such a popular default because it's depicted in advertising and media so often. If your only choice was to drink, then it's easy to see that advertising for alcohol is solely about influencing which alcohol you pick. But that's not the real world, where drinking does compete for attention with other activities.

Alcohol consumption is primarily a cultural phenomena (consumption rates vary GREATLY from country to country. In France people drink 12.2 liters of pure alcohol a year, while in Turkey they drink 2 per year. Neither of these countries are even on either extreme...) Cultures can be changed; history has shown that there is no such thing as an immutable culture. Advertising impacts culture, that is well documented. All of these things we should know. So to suggest that demand for alcohol is immutable seems quite absurd.
That's sometimes the case. One of my friends who owned a share in a construction/hvac business (he had the master plumber's license) cashed out and got a degree in counseling. He's now a full-time counselor and enjoys helping people and donates a lot of time and resources doing service projects.

His brothers just enjoy what they do, so they still own the business.

Not everyone enjoys college. I'm one that would much rather learn on my own than through a classroom. I enjoy having learned the things I did in college and felt I needed the piece of paper (and am now working on a master's to change fields), but as far as I've seen, there's no such thing as a degree I would enjoy. Just work or books I would enjoy.
I think it is pretty easy to illustrate why fewer tests are needed in certain statically-typed languages.

JS

function max(a, b) {
if (a < b) {
return b;
}

return a;
}

console.log(max(1, 2));
// 2
console.log(max(2, 1));
// 2
console.log(max([1,2,3]));
// [1,2,3]

Rust

fn max<T: PartialOrd>(a: T, b: T) -> T {
if a < b {
b
} else {
a
}
}

println!("{}", max(1, 2));
// 2
println!("{}", max(2, 1));
// 2
println!("{}", max([1, 2, 3]));
// Compiler error

In JS, it would be prudent to test for reasonable misuse of this kind (return undefined, throw Error, etc). The author claims _This is a dynamically typed language. You get exceptions when you mess up the types._ That isn't true in this case and it is not clear from the code what would/should happen.

In rust, you don't need any tests like this.
Really awesome course! For those looking to run locally these seemed to be the most straight forward setup steps https://course.fast.ai/start_aws.html#step-6-access-fastai-m... assuming you have conda installed.
This illustrates something I'm worried about. Cyber as a battle space, and the extreme vulnerability of some countries negates some of the traditional strategic advantages that superpowers have had. That will rebalance in time. But I worry that for an up and coming power with a kick-ass cyberwarfare operation, there is no better time to start a war than right now.
It would be great if you were right, but I don't think you are. Do you have sources?

I got the idea from this [1] reddit comment made by someone with an Mozilla Employee flair:

> [...] There is not yet a concrete plan (feature) to bring Web Extensions to Fenix. That does not mean it is not going to happen. It does mean we have some things to figure out first.

and this [2] github issue where they state

> Not for MVP, will look at it for further versions

I fear that what they'll want to figure out first is whether not implementing them will hurt adoption.

Show HN: Que – Distributed Job Processing in Elixir with Mnesia
And coal is quite radioactive.
There’s a thing called yelp sort. It’s on by default. They refuse to say how it works so it can work any way they like. The sales person marks the restaurant as ”owner didn’t pay” the top reviews get removed from yelp sort and the star calculation. The negative reviews get prioritized, the top positive reviews get ignored, hidden or just plain buried. The business goes from four and a half stars to three and a half stars. (I’m sure the actual name of the flag more deniable)
Business drops noticeably. Sales person calls back a week later.
This practice has been documented at least five times in the press. Yelp is a know extortionist company. I’d love to see a hactivist or disgruntled sales person publish the code or screen shots.
Bad Yelp reviews can safely be ignored most of the times. Some of the best tasting restaurants I went to have 2 to 3 stars, and they are hugely popular. It seems they don't care about the rating and relying on providing the best food and best service.
We killed the extortionist.
The main reason why Blender,GIMP and the likes don't get a lot of backing from the industry is because pricing is just a small puece of the overall picture. If a shop is anything but some random visualisations for real estate, there are budgets, decent salaries and etc., so even spending a few grand on Maya or 3DS Max doesn't quite change anything. Development in such a niche and complex field takes time.I doubt one developer would be able to do much,even full time,apart from fixing some small bugs..
> Done right, educating people should lead to them being more productive and producing a richer society.

Define done right. General education does have positive externalities and we provide that for everyone up to the end of high school. However, college and beyond is about specializing. There are many majors that have way to many students majoring in them only to end up getting a job out of college that does not use any of the skills they learned in college. I do not see how subsidizing those students would be beneficial.
Volunteered for Books for Prisoners in Portland for a time.

Prisoners would write asking for subjects, not by title since that was super unlikely. Often we would mail a mix of magazines and books.

Every jail has different rules. Each package would get custom consideration for which jail it was going to.

Sometimes stuff would just get confiscated for no reason.

Some of the letters were sad to read. The appreciation and expression of thanks for some random book previously sent.

The date it was read by a volunteer and responded to would be sometimes several months from the date it was written.

It did spur my interest in criminal justice system to some extent. But mostly I took away how sad the conditions were on the inside. As I took for granted my ability to choose and read whatever I liked, whenever I liked.
Which means we're only two years from them expiring.
There's always zfs send and zfs receive, but these don't work automatically.
Well that's not the reason, the reason is they are testing it out and seeing if it expresses the desired traits. They do extensive testing and sequencing in a lab before it even enters an open field.
World bank analysis of BRI which shows that BRI is a net positive to the world:

"
BRI will potentially have a large effect on trade and welfare for many countries
▪ All countries in the world experience a decrease in trade costs
▪ Not all sectors/countries will gain but potential aggregate effect is largely positive

But many policy barriers still remain in place. Potential gains of BRI would be enlarged by complementary reforms
▪ Need to reduce border delays, trade barriers and FDI restrictions
▪ But also boost investor protection, open public procurement, ensure private sector participation

Economic and non-economic risks associated to BRI projects need to be managed
▪ Public debt sustainability, governance, environmental and social concerns
▪ Coordination problems, lack of data, poor transparency magnify these challenges"

Sometimes that irreversible consequence is genocide which by definition has a lot of people with extremely limited possibility to exercise that free will. Like having choice between suicide and being killed for no own fault. Or just killed full stop.

And it is not like genocide would be only example, just extremely easy one.

In simolar situation, when boss or company just let's people to do whatever and then laws get broken, people harass each other and children bully each other, we blame teachers and bosses and parents.

You can't play reaponsible father while letting children bully sibling. Not even in kids adulthood.
In this particular case, it is a somewhat circular argument. Identify education that would benefit society. Give it away for free. Watch society become more wealthy. Everybody wins. I'm not convinced that the list of "education that would benefit society" is as limited as the current STEM obsessives would have us believe, but it's a starting point; it also doesn't have to be just university education. Nationwide shortage of electricians, for example? No worries. Free electrician education ahoy.

The only problem is that this practical, pragmatic approach violates some people's morals. Similarly to how the US could have a far cheaper, far more effective corrections system, but that be morally objectionable for too many people.

On a personal note, I'm not convinced that the end of high school is the correct cut-off point for free education (particularly given that the US has become a far more technological society and economy over the last century), but I don't have any evidence for that. It would seem something of a suspicious coincidence.
Buy more MSFT, a lot more.
The largest problem is a dearth of expertise within the industry. Not saying the expertise isn't there but it is often mushroomed by management to save money. I have worked on the periphery and it is a lot less professional than you would like. It has a lot of petty little fictions that added together create a very dangerous engineering culture.
Isnt it obvious, Keto in the cold months and carbs in the hot months. Eating seasonally is key and you cant chase much or do much exercise in the dead of winter with snow and ice lying around. Its also why the Inuits have a keto diet and can survive the extreme cold.
I know a number of folks who remarried and found happiness, and even had kids (!) after 50-55. Life isn’t over until you decide. Engage with the world, try new things for a time and see what sticks.
yes unfortunately all that these forms tell us is, more money is coming in and more money is being spent, not really what it's being spent on (and I'd imagine the 2018 numbers will show another big jump in revenue if the growth of CNCF projects has anything to do with it)

From having had a look round the Linux Foundation site, I couldn't easily see a lot of information about what they spend their increasing revenues on, although I may well have missed it...
It's just a state of extreme bliss, plus (and distinct) an appreciation for all sorts of suddenly very beautiful things: music, landscapes, people, etc. Sound especially feels incredibly precise and 3-dimensional.

Long term, the effect is rather small. I didn't have any negative hangover as some people apparently do, but rather a sort of low-intensity glow that slowly diminishes. In terms of treating depression, I don't think it made much difference either way. But since I have been suffering for as long as I remember, it was actually the first experience of such strong feelings I now at least know what improvement would feel like.
Obviously your mileage may vary, but I think you’ve got the curve backwards here. There are far far fewer late-30s roles for men, as on screen most look too old to be “young” and not old enough to read as “dad” or “distinguished”. If you look very very young or older you may be able to jump the gap some - I like to use nick offerman as a random cherrypicked example, he was 38 when he starred in Parks and Rec, but reads as mid-40s or older on screen.

Then on top of that, many of the people who have stopped acting by their mid-30s are either the people who were not very good or couldn’t handle the ambiguity/uncertainty. The population of actors who remain and are still working in their mid-30s, by and large, are very good and very committed. Not only are they very good, they know many/most of the other good actors who go up for the same roles as them. They have an established network, they have a reputation, they have an inside track on a lot of opportunities.

Random anecdote 1: a mid-30s friend of mine could guess what 5 or 10 people would be auditioning with him for basically any commercial in NYC after reading the script. He just knew who the casting directors would be calling alongside him, and the other actors knew too. It’s a small world once you make it to a certain level.

I think an imperfect analogy would be that it’s like graduating from a software boot camp and trying to go right for engineering leadership jobs at Facebook or Google, or maybe a better example is graduating law school and immediately trying to oversee an major tech acquisition. For sure, there are some that probably could, but even if they have the technical skills, there’s the network, the relationships, the hands on experience that makes it very unlikely.

Fun anecdote 2: acquaintance of mine, successful character actor (like “hey I recognize that guy from something” successful not “John c Reilly” successful), worked steadily from his mid-20s through his mid-30s and then his acting income dropped by 90%-ish over the next 8-10 years. He got a little older, greyer, more distinguished, stayed in great shape, and when he hit 45-ish the work started flowing again. He’s not making the same money as he did, but it’s back to a regular stream of income.

I think if your goal is to go to acting school and semi retire, working in tech part-time to make money, and try moonlighting casually in community theater and the like - that’s totally doable. I think if you’re going to try to join the varsity teams, it’s going to be really tough.
I use a combination of GNU stow and keybase’s encrypted git repos to store my dotfiles. It works pretty well and ensures I don’t have to maintain a gitignore.
Cool. I had one question, what's the usual lead time for non-profit data to show up in this dataset (e.g. when would you expect that 2018 forms/data would appear)?
Again, this is a consequence of the statement I made before regarding

>the financial industry converging on whichever form most effectively sidesteps the current regulatory regime.

I should probably have phrased it to industry in general, but regardless, I stand by my original point. The automotive industry accepts taking a loss through sub-optimal implementations of regulatorally incentivized models in order to optimize on the most profitable model segment.

Capitalism will converge in the direction of a net negative naturally without active efforts to reign in it's tendency toward fiscal optimization at all costs.

I'm not even being controversial and saying socialism/Marxism is the way. (They aren't; in case anyone is wondering). I'm just pointing out what actually happens.
Anecdote, but I had once a broken SATA controller that would send borked data to the disks. That was tricky because the disks were correctly writing the data sent to them and from the OS side all the operations were completed successfully. I realized that only because there was a continuous stream of checksum errors on all the disks of the pool.
Exactly, and seedless pomegranate would be even better.
... or I could have checked the Chisel and Verilog source for several implementations.
The only drama is coming from the GE illiterate anti-GMO crowd. They are just as bad as the Anti-Vax crowd if you ask me. They don't understand the science, it's been perfectly safe for decades, the GE toolkit is literally taken from nature because it does it all the time, and millions of dollars are spent every year to increase the effectiveness and accuracy of the modifications.
This would be a very funny inversion!

The drop in download speed is quite disappointing in my opinion. Possibly this can be solved by using more powerful hardware for the WiFi router, of course, but not being able to handle 70mbps can indicate possible bottlenecks on the future.

I'd be interested in seeing the difference between connecting the 4G stick to a PC instead of to the OpenWRT modem to see if the real bottleneck isn't actually in the receiver.

I don't see that as a problem. Sure it takes effort, but especially since Google has the feature in their enterprise version, it shouldn't be too hard to just turn it on.

I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that I suggested this. I'm also not interested in an emotional discussion on alcohol advertisement bans, because I frankly don't care.
