Having grown up and learned music on a Schimmel they are excellent instruments. Steinways are also fabulous pianos (undisputed by everyone), but I would actually argue that Schimmel makes a better upright.

From a branding perspective, I guess Steinway has a better ring to it than Stoneway (which sounds somewhat less... musical?)

It's likely just a system (credit score) invented to get as many people using credit as possible. But there is a credit score and that is a result of making payments on time to many different sources of loan and paying them on time over a long period of time. But you don't actually have to keep a balance you can simply pay them off all the time. I use it to avoid paying for using my debit card transactions (which are limited for the free account that I hold). As a result probably all of my purchase history is sold to other companies all the time.
Also, https://postmarketos.org/ is a good project too.
Hi Oslo resident.

Just had a streetview browse of your city, first view with the yellow man gave me an oncoming Tesla. I had a look for the chargers but didn't find any, I guess you need an app and to know what to look for.

More noticeable are the trams. Forget electric cars, trams are the future and I liked seeing so many of them. I tried to stay off the tramways as you aren't going to have charging points there, but now I want to know, if you didn't have an app, where would you look in Oslo for a street level charging facility?

Kind of inspired to go there after seeing the sunny day street view pics, lovely place!
For mortgages what you stated is still the process.
It gets expensive to do through investigation and review all documents, pay slips and bank account for something as trivial as say 'buying a phone' or 'getting internet service'. Credit score has its place there

To make it worse, no credit history equals a score of zero, so it can be worse than just having bad credit.
Amazon's M.O. is "pay money, get physical item". On the scale of how much aesthetics matters on a website, that's way over on the "not at all" side. About the only thing I'd put further that direction is Craigslist (which is "maybe pay no money, maybe get physical item").

For nearly every other website, aesthetics is of significant or even primary concern. When I'm not receiving packages from it, I care about how it looks. Facebook, Google, and StackOverflow were all much cleaner designs than what they replaced, and Wikipedia is perhaps the biggest and most aesthetically consistent website there is. Aesthetics matter.

The answer is probably that it is a service that banks and everyone else who uses the scores has decided is worth paying for. If finance institutions wanted to do all the legwork or just decided the credit score was useless they would probably just not request scores from them.

Just my thoughts though, no source to back it up. I'm not aware of any mechanism that requires organizations to use the credit scoring companies.
Please email info@rsync.net so we may chat a bit ... I'm really excited to have this functionality in place.
>IMO the Leaf is a compromise car you choose in order to get an EV, whereas the TM3 is a better car in almost every way than anything else on the market,

This is definitely your opinion.

Experts agree that Tesla is a low quality luxury vehicle.

Fans love it, but this is a known phenomenon with Jeep owners too. Jeep owners will forgive problems where other users would not.
Setting aside this specific situation. Let's say you run a prison, and an inmate goes on a "hunger strike" for a reason that's important to them. What should the prison operators do? Force feed the inmate, negotiate, give into their demands, or let them die? Let's say you try to negotiate, but the inmate is making unreasonable demands or you are not willing to meet their demands, then what?
maybe they try to write to local storage? local storage isn't available in private mode, at least incognito in chrome.

Thanks. I agree. I also wanted to highlight that OP might be wrong to dismiss interview problems just because it took someone decades to figure out an answer to.

Protip for anyone considering moving to the US. Make sure you open an Amex card in your current country at least 3 months before moving. Amex has a system where as a customer from another region they will let you open one card without needing US credit rating! Make sure you pick a card that doesn't have an annual fee as your first card, since a component of most credit scores is the age of your oldest card, so you want to keep this card open forever, so a fee would suck.

I'm approaching 2 years in the us and this has been quite helpful, however I'm still in the situation someone else mentioned. My credit score is high, but I have gotten rejections from "not long enough history" (chase)

But getting an Amex platinum after the fact was no problem to get in on the whole Airport Lounges US credit card thing.
Google is in some ways much more adverse in impact than MS, but I suspect that hiring a bunch of people under the "don't be evil" mantra (and baking that "we're the good guys" into culture) has helped hold them back from some bad behavior.

At the same time an implicit belief in "we're the good guys" (combined with indoctrination including interview hazing rituals) can enable bad behavior, because then: "of course whatever we do is good, by definition, because we're the good guys" and then not questioned. MS did some really underhanded and insidious things with its power, and it's easier to see some of Google's behavior as due more to hubris/brainwashing.

I've started to use the CS101 whiteboard hazing as a litmus test for whether there's any point in trying to do good at Google, for my own career. So long as they insist on subjecting everyone to that (starting with people having just spent 4 years and a quarter of a million dollars on a Stanford CS education, and then people with verifiable experience on top of that), and also considering having been caught on abusive hiring/mobility conspiracy at they executive level, I think the CS101 whiteboard ridiculousness is not a good sign for corporate ego and intentions. It's also not great when CS students focus on drilling for that, to the exclusion of other things. For myself, if I applied anyway, I'd be fooling myself that I wasn't mainly after the compensation package, rather than wanting to have positive impact.
Thanks, RMS.
There is no amount of preparation that will prepare you 100% and guarantee you a job at any of these companies. I think we've gotten to a ridiculous point with the interview process now and at some point you just have to decide you've done enough to prepare on the technical end and it sounds like you're basically there. I would probably start looking at other aspects of preparation. Think about the human aspect of things and what you want to impress upon your interviewer. These are more subtle things that might make the difference when deciding a thumbs up or thumbs down. But in the end don't sweat it. Decide you're going to have fun with it and see what happens. Truly try to enjoy yourself and view each problem as an interesting puzzle instead of some do or die test. And hey, free lunch!

The CoppetheadOS subreddit and Daniel's reddit account has a lot of his perspective on what happened with that project as well if people are interested.

It seemed like he got royally screwed just given the amount of time and effort he put into the project, easily shown just from his activity and responses during its life cycle.
Twitch and Mixer are options. There's some really interesting online streamers doing their own interesting things in all the big Simulators (Farm, Truck, etc). Farm Simulator recently added a "competitive mode" that I'm told is surprisingly fun to watch. Among other things online, Truck Simulator and Flight Simulator have weirdly interesting communities recreating real life routes for fun.

Something that briefly interested me was that Flight Simulator route recreators need Air Traffic Controllers for that extra verisimilitude. It sounds like a fascinating role to try that would be relatively easier than piloting in the Simulator, but it has its own culture of seriousness that includes virtual apprenticeships, and can be nearly as intimidating trying to join.
He probably wants to learn more about systemd and needs/wants a project to do it.

Yes, obviously cron would work. If systemd can do what this dev needs, what's the harm?
>Note that I use neither google searcj nor facebook, but both google and facebook do collect my personal data, for example from my use of whatsapp, my Android phone and the google play store, etc.

That's a non-sequitur... Whatsapp is Facebook. The Google Play Store is Google. You are using Facebook and Google 's services. Whether you're using Google search or "Facebook" (the product not the company) is irrelevant.
Doing away with the Linux kernel is a much longer term aspiration. The intention is to use virtualization as a way of reinforcing the app sandbox and/or user profile isolation in the meantime. There has been successful experimentation with this already, but fully integrating it and maintaining it will need to wait until the project has gotten further underway and has more developers that are up to speed on it. It's one thing to simply integrate Xen or KVM for toy examples and quite another to more meaningfully integrate it in an invisible way that preserves the existing functionality rather than being useful only as a proof of concept for research or presentations.

I was about to use gRPC, but forget that non-browser-supporting non-human-readable dumpster fire.

Also it looks significantly less complicated than open api/swagger. for starters, openapi/swagger has 2 fkin names. lol.
Nah, these sorts of folks are far too obdurate and prideful to ever willingly admit defeat. More likely they would keep telling the manager that they just need a few more weeks time to finish it while they frantically keep rolling that Sisyphean boulder up the hill.
Worth noting, UTC currently has four major business units, and they were already planing to sell 2.
I've not fleshed out his angle on this, but the first thing that came to mind was the gamification of every social interaction. "Ratio-ing" on TWIT comes to mind. There was a time when we measured threads by the level of social engagement (response) rather than like/share and it was a good thing to have hundreds of replies and sub-conversations.

Reading the code one clearly sees why Python is so well suited for these kinds of applications, one-shot script executables: Really nice string ops, regex, file io etc. One of my favorite languages. The other is C# for everything else, that Python is not that suitable for: Huge complex codebases, type safeness, more strict performance requirements etc. Specially the static typing. The dynamism and lack of type annotations of Python really bothered me when I was developing a somewhat complex desktop app in it some years ago. I guess I'm a static typing guy with optional dynamism kinda person.
I never said that about tableau in particular, which is why I listed half a dozen analytics platform solutions. Using any of those makes for a more powerful, flexible, sharable, usable tool than one engineer's self-rolled internal webpage with "analytics". Nothing special about Tableau in particular, in fact, I categorically prefer SQL-based visualization tools over Tableau.

The only exception to "using any of these is better than creating your own" is large companies like Google and Facebook, where they have entire teams of engineers who are dedicated to creating an in-house SQL+Visualization tools. It is absolute hubris for one engineer to think they can make a robust analytics platform!

History repeating itself...Sears was many peoples first credit cards, they'd give almost anyone a $300 card (which could only be used at their stores)
It's a system created towards incentivizing people to use credit for the purposes of capturing all users. This maximizes the number of users that mismanage their finances and pay interest on the credit usage.
Because the score correlates highly to payment/non-payment. If you never borrowed anything before, a lender doesn't know if you are capable of getting and responding to mail, writing a check, arranging electronic payment, etc.

A surprisingly high number of people are unable of handing these basic tasks.
Indeed. I ran into problems for years because I'd simply never been in debt and saw no value in using a credit card over a debit card.

EDIT: Honorable mention is Preshing's blog. https://preshing.com/20131125/acquire-and-release-fences-don...

There's so much there its hard to pick out anything in particular in Preshing's blog as a "must read". Its all very useful, but its also spread out over a lot of posts. I just picked the first link from search engines

EDIT2: Honorable mention#2: The OpenCL 2.0 standard section 3.3.6: https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/opencl-2.0.pdf

The C++11 draft standard defines "happens before" and all that good stuff, but it is a 1000+ page document. OpenCL 2.0 copy/pastes from the C11 / C++11 standards and puts it all in one section: 3.3.6, which is only about 3ish pages long (+additional pages for OpenCL specific stuff).

OpenCL2.0 is missing consume/release semantics, but nobody implemented that yet anyway (even in C++ world, no one has bothered to properly implement a consume/release compiler yet).

I guess OpenCL2.0 has the whole "local vs global" memory order thing going on, while C11 / C++11 is all one memory space. But I personally found OpenCL2.0's specification to be easier to read than the C++11 draft standard.
Take your chrome browser history. That doesn't really belong in /tmp, but it's also not something that's going to sync around well with zfs, either.
Are you evaluating people or are you evaluating people's ability to work in groups?

Agreed. The simplest answer is that it's intended to maximize the number of financially irresponsible debtors to maximize interest paid in.
You can use pool of processes, so you don't have to launch new process for every request. Also you can and should use shared memory for shared data. In the end it's almost like threads, but with more safety.

I think most night owls aren't as night-owly as they think- they just don't have a consistent and healthy routine. Very few actually have a diagnosed sleep disorder, just poor habits. I was able to program myself to be a morning person with very little up-front effort.

Anecdotal but I used to be a night owl and now I've risen at 5am every workday for the past two years. On off days I just set my alarm to go off 7 hours after my head hits the pillow which is only an hour or so later than usual anyway.

Just have a routine, any routine.

Fine, how about a subset? Prove that an advertiser has seen one instance of my exact location, or an instance of my search or web history.

90% of the 'valuable contextual data' is that I searched for something related to an ad's keywords. The other ~% is targeted data. Targeting anonymised, generalised demographics/keywords which billions of people fit into does not class as selling private data.

I'm not arguing to trust Google, nor am I denying that there is massive data brokerage in the advertising industry - just that there is a big difference between targeted ads and selling data.
Isn't the country's enormous wealth largely due to the sale of fossil fuels? Tax incentives for EV usage are great, but it's only possible because of the rest of the world's dependence on oil. It's really hard to take any lesson or even comfort from a story like this. It's not possible for everyone to offshore their carbon footprint.
It’s 2019. Are we seriously still trying to argue that homegrown solutions are overall more cost effective than SaaS? Are we still of the opinion that developing tooling outside of your company’s core competencies is somehow adding value?

Depends on the use-case. All foreigners that migrate for a job to the us have no credit history, and no significant problems finding apartments and opening bank accounts.
I don't understand why you are being downvoted. This is certainly a PR piece and it makes no mention of whether any actual metrics have moved, just that a lot of money was raised.
This is nice to hear. Truth be told, I'd like to get some professional software engineering experience. The problem for me is:

1. It's hard to get considered to be a SWE in the first place when your job titles are more in the realm of data analyst. They'll toss out my resume for a fresh grad, much less someone with experience, without a second thought.

2. If I were to make the switch I'd likely have to start at level 0 on the scale ladder. I've already career changed once into tech, and at this point I do not wish to "reset" my experience another time
So, emacs is a platform for text-based programs to do things that i already have other stable, reliable, and familiar programs to accomplish. I’m not sold. I need a better value proposition before i feel sold to spend my time climbing that learning curve.

> Currently my Samsung Android device is at Dec 2018 patchlevel and nothing I can do about it.

1. ZFS is heavy on memory, vastly increasing the odds that a failure will happen during filesystem operations. This is something many learnt while both encrypting their drives and overclocking their CPU. Encrypting your drives makes the CPU spend orders of magnitude more time processing filesystem data, and if an error is about to happen it is orders of magnitudes more likely you will have corrupt data because of it. Same goes with memory.

2. If an error occurs on ZFS the consequences are worse, because there are very limited recovery-tools available for ZFS. The official checkdisk is "just restore from tape, it's quicker than fsck anyway". Very enterprise oriented.

Now you might be okay with the above. But the risk is greater and the potential consequences are worse. Not because of ZFS being special, but because of the way it makes use of your hardware.

Also keep in mind that a lot of people pick ZFS to reduce potential corruption so the addition of ECC is par for the course.
OMG -- agree.

Things you get with systemd that you don't get with cron unless you implement them in the script.

* Not running if the network is down.

* Not running if the download path isn't available.

* Running if the machine was off during the scheduled time.

* Monitoring and retry logic.

* Logging to syslog.

* Resource constraints.

* Random wait.

It ends up being a lot of code factored out of the actual application.
Something I was pondering, since companies are treated as "people" as it pertains to law, free speech, political contributions, etc... then wouldn't that mean a company is guilty of war crimes? AFAIK there is no statute of limitations on war crimes. If a Nazi commander changed their name, that would not exclude them from being put on trial.
Immigrant here. I've got approved for $10K CC at BofA without any history, just provided a bunch of documentation like proof of income. It's also a good idea to apply for some credit union to loan your vehicle even you can afford buying it for cash.
Memory ordering isn't the kind of thing that can be neatly separated from your instruction scheduler, register file, etc. Some of the communication and checking that's necessary to maintain strong ordering has to be handled within each unit each cycle. I'm probably doing a poor job explaining it, though. Maybe someone even closer to these issues can do better.
Even worse: paying off all your loans and having no credit cards is zero. It made getting a credit card more difficult. The lady at the credit union couldn't get the system to auto-approve me for any credit limit because of it.

> Around here, we like to say a credit score is just an “I love debt score.” Think about it. A credit score doesn’t reflect your salary increases, the amount of money in your savings account, or how well you budget each month.

> If someone in your family was to pass away and leave you a million dollars, your credit score wouldn’t change one single point. Your net worth would skyrocket, but your credit score wouldn’t budge. Seems fishy, doesn’t it?

> In other words, a credit score has nothing to do with how well you handle your money. But it does show how well you play around with debt. Your credit score is solely built on how much debt you have, what kind of debt you have, how long you’ve had it, and how you’ve paid on it.
