Iirc, this was orchestrated by the progressive wing of the NY Democratic Party and was a fairly controversial decision.

The progressives still represent a fairly small contingent of the left, and don’t really have the influence to materially alter policy decisions, especially at the federal level. Much of the US still isn’t very interested in progressive politics, especially given the migration of moderate conservatives to the Democratic Party.

2020 is going to be a make-or-break election for progressives IMO.
I think the name is great. It's weird enough to stand out from the pack, and it also communicates one of core benefits of the database versus the competitors.
There's Munzee, that uses QR codes stuck on items. I've never played it, but a buddy of mine loved it a couple years ago. I believe it had an active community at the time. It didn't interest me, so I can't comment further on it.

I grok the issue regarding socializing. I was doing some WU-GO last night, and ended up attacking a fortress with somebody, but couldn't find them while I was in a town plaza. They may have been parked in a car nearby, but it would be kind of creepy to walk over to someone sitting in a car at 11pm and ask them if they're playing the same game as you.
I found that fact surprising so I looked at that socketsite but their link to the original source is a dead link.
> My thought is that outside of high-risk areas like ICANN, they're not having much success. The OSS community in Europe is far stronger than that in America.

By what metric?
The article doesn’t focus on bots ( in fact it specifically mentions times when humans pretend to be bots). It’s really about internet fakery in general eroding trust.
The main challenge is reliably localizing callers to the right 911 dispatch... without allowing anyone to spoof their origin, and without inadvertently allowing location data to leak out to non-emergency calls (or texts, or tweets, or whatever emergency medium this scheme would support).
ICANN fees should be ten to one hundred times greater than they are in order to reduce the ridiculous hoarding that has occurred.

We used to say that fees should be low so that the average person could have their own domain. After all, there is no inherent cost in the sale, so why should ICANN profit? Instead, organizational fees are $0.18/yr for dot com domains, even though the registrars charge at least $8.00. This captures 97% of retail registration proceeds in private hands. Yet at the same time, no domains are available. Who could afford to own so many unused domains at $8/yr? No one, because they establish private registrars and own then at $0.18/yr, covering these meager costs by selling marginally valuable domains for $100 and short dot coms for tens of millions on secondary markets.

If there are thousands of votes that ICANN should not be allowed to raise rates, they are certainly from people who are profiting off their sale, and not people using them for the intended purpose of identifying servers on the Internet. If we are concerned about profits, we should push for them to be assigned to a charity benefiting something deserving.
The point is that Protobuf has variable length ints by default. That’s an optimization for many common use cases, but slower and larger for random data, including GUIDs. Use Protobuf’s fixed ints for those.
Riak KV uses leveldb, but as @ergl mentioned, riak-core is essentially a hash-ring and replication (aka dynamo) layer.
Small (<5 people) deployments are coming in the next few weeks. I'm using mine already (and it's only using 190MB of RAM...)
In the LA survey 65% had lived in LA for at least 20 years, 80% had lived there for at least 5 years. Half the people in SF who had already been there had been for at least 10 years when they became homeless, 89% had been there at least a year.
So instead of building more places for people to live where they want to/jobs are available we should just have mass migration out of economic centers. Got it.
Ugh. That is really sloppy, it also conditions people to ignore such errors in the future which will make it much easier to get them to believe all kinds of crap.
I know this feeling very well, made considerably worse by the fact that I happened to be friends with some people who for various reasons did end up being very, very successful. It took me a very long time to realise that they were the outliers rather than me being a failure, and I still doubt myself.
No this is not ageism. After a certain point, if you are an individual contributor, your value is not worth more than someone with less experience.

A developer with 10 years of varied experience can usually do just as well as someone with 20 years of experience. I also believe that the idea of the 10x developer while not a myth, is so rare it’s not worth trying to find for most companies.

I speak as someone in my mid 40s who has been at this professionally for 20+ years [1].

I’m debating whether I want to take the next step of consulting or just stay in development. I see my salary hitting a ceiling in the next two or three years and I think I am okay with that.

[1] well for all intents and purposes maybe 12 years. I stagnated for a few years and became an “expert beginner”.

"We showed a split-brain patient two pictures: To his right visual field, a chicken claw, so the left hemisphere saw only the claw picture, and to the left visual field, a snow scene, so the right hemisphere saw only that. He was then asked to choose a picture from an array placed in full view in front of him, which both hemispheres could see. His left hand pointed to a shovel (which was the most appropriate answer for the snow scene) and his right hand pointed to a chicken (the most appropriate answer for the chicken claw).

We asked why he chose those items. His left-hemisphere speech center replied, “Oh, that’s simple. The chicken claw goes with the chicken,” easily explaining what it knew. It had seen the chicken claw. Then, looking down at his left hand pointing to the shovel, without missing a beat, he said, “And you need a shovel to clean out the chicken shed.” Immediately, the left brain, observing the left hand’s response without the knowledge of why it had picked that item, put it into a context that would explain it. It knew nothing about the snow scene, but it had to explain the shovel in front of his left hand. Well, chickens do make a mess, and you have to clean it up. Ah, that’s it! Makes sense.

What was interesting was that the left hemisphere did not say, “I don’t know,” which was the correct answer. It made up a post hoc answer that fit the situation. It confabulated, taking cues from what it knew and putting them together in an answer that made sense.

We called this left-hemisphere process the interpreter. It is the left hemisphere that engages in the human tendency to find order in chaos, that tries to fit everything into a story and put it into a context. It seems driven to hypothesize about the structure of the world even in the face of evidence that no pattern exists."

Perhaps they should ban all political discussion. It's a knitting forum, after all.
"Exurb" isn't used enough to describe American suburbs, but is certainly appropriate. Suburban sprawl got so bad that the original suburbs of a lot of cities, that were built with public transit in mind, today Americans think of as "city core" or "inner city" and don't even recognize as suburbs anymore. Meanwhile most of what Americans imagine suburbs to be are more accurately exurbs, and exurban living is seen as more normal than the traditional relationships between cities and their suburbs for a number of unhealthy reasons.
It seems to go even deeper than that. Though there are likely other factors missing from this broad observation. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/03/study-of-...
"they already spectacularly failed to prevent a Trump election."

They were not trying to prevent it. Google was just a search engine, trying to do their best. Since Trump, their view on information has changed from 'neutral' to 'fairness'. Their view of 'fairness' is politically loaded, and examples are given in the docs.

There is no doubt that Google can change the outcome of elections - this is for sure. If they really wanted to put their finger on the scales hard, they could.

I'm very concerned about the recent revelations, and I don't think that their 'fairness' policy is actually fair, but I wonder how much effect it will actually have. It's so hard to measure.

Do these charts not coincide exactly with the introduction and pervasiveness of smart phones and social media? The rates were dropping until 2007 when the iPhone was introduced, and it only went up from there as more and more social apps rolled out.
> Where did I get the idea that popular people were malevolent?

They were the primary bullies growing up? That's where I got the idea, at least. And suffering seems like a more authentic emotion than happiness, as there are all sorts of heavy social incentives to constantly project happiness. There's a lot more people out there faking happiness, than there are faking suffering.
Cloudflare will provide some protection. But is there anything specific to this problem? Captcha is one solution but how are websites like basecamp and intercomm are doing it?
Does anyone know it’s graphics card specs ? How big of a neural net can I run? Does it Raspi4 have a tensor flow backend ?

At the power usage if Raspi4, how big of a solar panel and battery do I need to have a always sentient computer out in the wild that can recognize and count things ?
This is not really true.

The merchant takes liability on some transaction types. In the UK, any credit card transaction that is flagged by the customer, regardless of chip and pin, is immediately refunded and investigated.

However - as card cloning of chip and pin cards is still effectively at zero, it's very unlikely that fraudulent chip and pin transactions ever take place without, say, the card being stolen as well.
The ridiculous generalization that wallet return rate in a minor sample equals population honesty makes no sense at all, regardless of the conclusion. That is to say, the research methodology is essentially problematic. Should the research be valid, the role that a wallet plays in daily life must not vary significantly from one cultural background to another. The pattern in the plot actually appears to correlate better with the popularity of wallets in each countries. In Northern-European countries, wallets (cash/credit cards) are used for most payments, whereas mobile payments via apps/virtual credit cards dominates the Chinese market (both online and offline, even including miscellaneous fees like parking fee); the US lies in between the two poles.
I think it's fair to say that people move to NYC in the same way, which is the city being compared here.
If you knew your keys were uniformly distributed you would never use a varint encoding to store them because you'd stand a very high chance of encoding them into a field longer than a primitive integer. A varint can only hold 28 bits of number in the first four bytes, so your odds of getting 5-byte output is 15/16 i.e. very likely. If you really had to encode them I would use either two fixed64 fields, the experimental fixed128 type, or 'bytes' with the exactly-36-byte-long string representation of a UUID. In no case could I imagine packing a huge vector of random numbers into a protobuf int32 field.
Personal anecdotes. I frequently travel to Europe to collaborate with free software developers or attend free software conferences, and attend comparatively fewer in the US (and they're generally smaller in attendance here, too).
>Rents aren't cheaper than what I'm paying even in the 'flyover state' cities.

With all due respect, this sounds like complete horseshit. How much are you paying for rent?
I interned at Goddard in 2006 and my PI had a rogue wireless access point for his interns to use. Apparently it was a long and convoluted process to get network access for personal computers, so he didn’t even bother trying. I remember some of my fellow interns complaining about having to work offline for the first month of their 10 week internship.
Some would argue that the levee system creates moral hazard by incentivizing development in dangerous areas.

And the GI bill comparison is disingenuous because it's disgusting to compare the millennial English literature major whining about being unemployable to men who fought and died in Europe and the Pacific. It's not a comparison of pre-GI bill veterans to post-GI bill veterans that you are actually making.
I was quite happy with the service itself, but I'm not using email enough to justify its monthly price. They're a great company, and I hope they're around by the time I need their services again!
I used to work in retail at Circuit City. Our inventory was a mess, so corporate hired a company to fix that. At 4 AM a bus rolled up with people that spent all morning scanning items. We had to monitor them for theft and such (yes we saw several attempts).

They did an awful job. For example they scanned an item and then saw there were 10 items behind it and just multiplied the first item by 10 on the scanner (think of thumbdrives where the first one is a 512 MB drive and towards the back there may be a 256 MB drive). Afterwards, our inventory was worse than before. Corporate of course couldn't know this. I know your story is different, but they could still be getting duped.
Completely agree. There was a big shift in education in the early 2000s that brought business-like accountability to schools in the form of metrics. I think that change alone has led to a hollowing out of our education system that turned it from a nurturing, educational environment into a stressful, performance-focused environment.

When you introduce business-like accountability, you need a way to “stack rank” your resources. This process alone is misguided — not all public schools have the same mission, so whatever criteria you come up with removes control of that mission from the local level — and has a lot of second-order consequences.

Even in business, all this heavy measurement and reporting causes a ton of overhead — and in schools, this takes the form of standardized testing. This causes a lot of schools to abandon their primary mission — educating students — to pursue a mission of improving standardized test scores by X%. Test prep is hammered home with mountains of homework so teachers don’t get dinged for not challenging students enough.

Using business-like incentives (the best-run schools get more budget) is counterintuitive in education: the worst schools need more support, not less. Closing down a low-performing school furthers the goal of meeting the metrics, but often not the goal of educating students. A lot of attention is paid to the impact of this in low-performing schools, but when you give high-performing schools bigger budgets, they just pile more work on the kids as parents apply pressure for intense college prep.

So you end up with 2 kinds of schools: one that provides basic services focused on test metrics to keep the little funding they have, and another that has test scores covered through demographic advantages and focuses on college prep because the parents are better educated and more involved in their kids’ lives. Kids are stressed out in both schools — instability and violence in the former, massive expectations and workloads in the latter. But I think the cause is the same: by forcing our kids to operate in a business-like environment, they end up looking a lot like the stressed-out employees of big companies.
> but firewall all systems to access the central registry only, and widen the firewall after an authorized registration of the system. That way, the admins just have to rack systems with a usb stick with some credentials, and it goes or it doesn't.

Someone first has to build this system, and after accounting for all of the red tape and approvals and training and new audits required and tallying up the total man-hours required to implement, your solution that is supposed to be "less hard" might actually be much harder than the previous system.

It's pretty easy to come up with a multitude of ideas to fix issues like this, but it's another thing entirely to actually implement them, especially in a big government org like NASA. Obviously their current/previous system isn't working and they need to fix it, but I think you would be surprised at how difficult it is to do something even as simple as the system you've conceptualized.

Just to give a small anecdote: I've built asset management systems, and in one case at a major F500 company, one that used USB sticks for something similar to what you're describing. Just getting the approval to purchase the USB sticks and establish a process for properly handling the USB sticks once credentials were put on them was something that, by itself, took months.
Okay, I understand some APIs:

(i) TCP/IP

(ii) HTTP

(iii) ASN.1

(iv) SQL

(v) The key-value session state store I wrote for my Web site (cheap, simple, quick, dirty version of Redis).

Etc.

Now, how can the design and programming of such APIs be "automated"????
This is a set of manually created hex programs in a Cthulhu Path to madness fashion. Which only have the goal of creating a bootstrapping path to a C compiler capable of compiling GCC, with only the explicit requirement of a single 1 KByte binary or less.

What a wonderfully mad, cool goal.
And foolishness, if we become extinct as a result of our own ingenuity.
PIA VPN "mace" seems to be saving me from all the torture.
This does not seem a very smart thing to do for any standard application especially without a well tested LInK library.

When it was necessary and was easy, I had local in memory caches for some specific hot data acting as another level of caching. In the simplest case it us just one variable + timestamp. Otherwise usually a Map or a simple library will do it.

But substituting your caching layer with in process caching, it is usually very risky. In cases where the system cannot work without a hot cache, in memory caching can easily lead to extened downtimes of the whole system.

First of all, the deployment process needs to be reengineered so the new version of the app can load the cache of the current running process.

Then if there is a bug that crashes the process, you end up losing all the cache (unless like Redis you also save it on disk).

Until there is a well tested library that can do that or the system really need a system like this, I am going to keep using Redis and use a second in memory caching where it is easy and low risk to do.
I'm not sure you can call this a big fuckup, we will have to wait for news about the cause.

Yes it is bad, very bad. But I'm sure they got all the redundancy in place and thought about so much more than we can imagine. But even then there might be some extreme event that will throw 'soot in the food'.

I think it is just great how this event is handled. Almost everybody I know knows the alternative alarm number. Police is in the streets so you can walk to them. And as far as we know there are no looters taking their chances.

So yeah, bad, but we have to wait before we can mark it as big fuckup.
Truth be told I think it comes down to dating apps attracting shitty people in general.
Correct, but it is not normalized to account for population differences. The white suicide rate is ~2.5x higher than the black suicide rate, but there are ~5.75x more white people than black people in the US. Therefore, normalizing for population proportion, the black suicide rate is more than twice that of their white counterparts.

Presumably you'd have been equally OK if they banned any other political speech too? Under the same guise of moral responsibility of course.
I similarly cringe at vaguely documented APIs, but being a young developer, my experience with REST has been better. For instance, I've consumed a SOAP API where the WSDL specification was primarily a method named "Magic" that accepted a string "Method" and six string-typed parameters, "Parameter1" through "Parameter6".

I think the key is to pick a documentation tool that the team will actually use.
Rpeat:As a Chinese, I have n ever imagined such a study should have been published on SCIENCE. HONEST saying, I presume honesty should not be judged by just a WALLET TEST, this method, obviously in a Chinese view, is more like a child, out of prejudice, holding a GUN against some specific groups. Not to mention about the WALLET involved is quite far from common. Wallet we used to see is in black or brown and made of leather instead of plastic, and Chinese would hand in the lost wallet to the police station if we can't contact the owner. Besides, we can't draw a conclusion only from employee's reaction to lost wallets. If so, this study has no consideration about the population classification such as age and education level. Lastly, I am obliged to stress two points. 1, Chinese don't even never use email to contact somebody. 2, Overwhelming majority of Chinese don't carry a wallet on. Wondering why, go and ask Jack Ma and Pony Ma.
Toxins and other foreign non-food things (heavy metals, plastics, etc.) tend to get quite highly concentrated as you go up a food chain. So a little tiny dose of e.g. mercury absorbed by, say, some krill that are then eaten by fish, who are in turn eaten by bigger fish, that are finally caught by fishermen, can result in quite high concentrations by the time we humans eat it. Same with plastics consumed by these molluscs - they feed things which feed things which feed things which feed us, and we end up taking in really quite a lot of plastic as a result.
Making every device connect over VPN is infeasible. There are, however, varying models of governing port-level access exist. dot1x, ISE, and yes, on some networks forcing VPN is doable.
Nice investigation!
Does it? It seems logical, thinking about Brexit.
What are the odds that this will support 1080p streaming with Plex? I've tried Plex on a Pi 3 using a Roku as a player with 1080p and it's a complete failure. Plex tries to encode everything even if native playback to the Roku is possible using the Roku media player.
I agree. I'm just laying the foundation that the Veritas leak today is not merely an unprecedented statement, but rather that it has strong precedent in the company's leadership itself. Even if doctored to make some statements more damming, we have this initial point to shed some light.

That said, I would caution against taking Veritas at face value. Sometimes their claims match what is said, sometimes a bit more context tones down the severity of the comments. For example, I have seen them take someone making a hypothetical quote, and then make it seem as if that was the person giving their own opinion, something made clearer when they posted the full video later.
Like I said, they will have to make one under government pressure, but I bet you they won't publicly release it.
