Your idea of what's a good person is based on what the world tells you is a good person. I, too, am tempted to think of myself as being inherently good, but if I were born hundreds of years ago, would I really have been so inherently good as to realize how wrong it is to (say) suppress women, when the culture all around me normalized doing so? My temptation is to think "I'm better than that, I wouldn't suppress women", but statistically speaking, almost no-one actually was better-than-that! Trying to be a good person without the guidance of the Holy Spirit is futile. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
> the general public actually doesn’t care about privacy at all

It's not that people don't care; privacy is probably undervalued in the context of making privacy vs. convenience/utility decisions. (Digital) privacy's value isn't really tangible until it's actively used against you.
I've always felt that formal logic has been more useful to programming than math has for me.

Total online ad spend works out to about $1/person/day in the US.[0]

We have collectively sacrificed our privacy because we're collectively not willing to pay $1/day for what used to be called newspapers and magazines ($1/day is equivalent to subscribing to a daily paper or a couple magazines, as most people did in days of old). There is a cost to providing news. The industry made clear it preferred to sell subscriptions but consumers collectively said no I want free beer and laughed at newspapers and magazine publishers for being so stupid as to try to sell subscriptions. Having been told no I won't pay for subscriptions the industry was dragged forcibly from what was unquestionably its preferred subscription model into the ad tracking supported model we have today. All because costs people can see (subscriptions) are less palatable than far higher costs they can't see (ubiquitous tracking).

>There are examples of dry stonewalls and structures that date back 5000 years and are still standing today. Nearly anywhere in the world where stone of suitable sizes was plentiful, walls were built.

What I'd like to know is are there any patterns to where the second is true, but said walls haven't lasted thousands of years like the first sentence says? Are there places where ancient stone structures could have been built, but are no longer standing for reasons other than human interference? Perhaps they fail to survive more in earthquake prone areas, or when there is heavy vegetation that pushes roots through the rocks?
This is really the advice ?

So one of the things that I really recommend to people is that you Create an imaginary office even when theres’ no door to actually close.
There are several ways to do that, in our office we’ve done that with those really great noise cancelling headphones.

> "You can see the problem here: A national culture that promotes polite restraint, and which actively fends off and forestalls the forming of relationships between strangers, is one that might as well be inviting loneliness on its population. And at a time when emotional seclusion is increasingly being seen as a crisis in countries around the Western world, perhaps this is what has made English people uniquely sensitive to loneliness as a major health concern."

This is evidently written from the perspective of an englishman, but I find the contrast with the American South (where I was born and raised) evident: here, it is very common to strike up a pleasant conversation with strangers. If you are left in each other's company for a few minutes, it's almost rude not to. I find that there's something of a cultural difference which might help here, as you can get a little bit of socialization from unexpected places. I regularly chat with the doorman at my office, and know he has another job as a music promoter. He also figured out a particularly clever way to game Spotify. Same with lots of other random people.

I'm not positioning this as a perfect solution, but as one more change which might help. Half of me wonders if this is because the South was always so spread-out that we took company where we could get it. But I certainly am not qualified to trace the roots of cultural stuff like this. Anyway, just something to think on.
The support laptop on an IBM mainframe is analogous to the setup on a Cray machine. The System Management Workstation or 'SMW' (previously a Supermicro tower workstation with a bunch of ethernet), now a Dell Poweredge rackmount is its own system which controls the rest of the machine--booting, shutdown, and all of the other myriad maintenance tasks on a cluster like that. It's also responsible for building boot images and interrogating the low level controllers on each rack and on system blades themselves.

During bringup of a machine like that, the SMW host is installed first from scratch with a Linux distribution, hardware inventory is enumerated, boot images are built for individual node roles in the system and then the system performs its boot procedure.
> I agreed to pay $450 cash and no one in the office understood how to handle it. I finally get to pay the $450 cash and I still got a bill from my insurance for $600 because they also billed my insurance.

That's not how that works. If a provider submits to insurance, the insurance won't pay it, and the provider will send the unpaid balance to you. The insurance company won't send you a bill.

> Then there's the insanity of cash price being cheaper than the insurance price.

Not insane. They have to bill higher and the insurance company will have negotiated a 'discount' typically. Also, it costs more money to have people on staff to file with insurance rather than just accept cash. You have to pay for people's time.

> I also have an HSA tax free bank account that lets me pay for this stupidity tax free, yay! Dozens of more hours were thrown away trying to understand how HSA accounts work, what I can charge to the HSA account and picking a bank to handle the HSA account.

Totally agree with you on this one. It's pretty confusing to say the least.
Didn't it really suggest the recommendation was from the core team, and not PyPA?
You don't need fancy math because someone else did it for you, but if the industry is to compete and advance, it's going to need all sorts of people. The fact that you don't have to juggle every mathematical complexity underlying your domain is a success of human cooperation and compartmentalization. It's certainly not free or inherent.
What I meant was the fact that you can omit the "return" keyword:

Some friends of mine from college and I, while considering our impending matriculation into the housing and job market of LA, conceived of the idea of 'failure house'; a place where we could all live when we failed at life. We still talk about it ten years on, and it has evolved into the idea of 'failure commune'. One of these friends became a lawyer and bought a house in Orange County recently. Traitor.
Define private, you walk in public in front of security cameras wearing your face in public. your face is now public information.

Your name is on your mail, your census, your driving licence, you provide your name and address to companies all the time. your name and address is now public information.

If someone can tie your public face to your public name then thats public information.

That falls under the second option. Being capable of defending your privacy means understanding that you shouldn’t willingly give your personal info to random apps.
I will admit that there is the occasional benefit of the "off the cuff" conversation that you overhear which allows you to add or receive input that you wouldn't have otherwise before, but I think that the amount of times that this is actually useful is a lot less than reported.

I also think that those benefits get quickly offset the second that I get a cold that I wouldn't have otherwise, or get pulled away from something for a triviality.
Three trips so far mostly relying on Messy Nessy's recommendations and have not gone wrong once. Most memorable experience so far was Chez Louisette in the flea market, but not for the food, which was fine.

I only have the barest minimum of French, but I can read a menu, and that is generally enough to figure out whether the house is phoning it in or not. I.e., if onion soup or coq a vin figure prominently, next!

The deal with Paris is to GTFO of the tourist areas. Go walk around Belleville, upper Canal St. Martin and neighborhoods like that. Level of civilization (and corner bistros) goes way up.

You wouldn't need military intervention to make Hong Kong buckle.

> Can you see that this is an extremely dogmatic view?

Snuck premise much? I doubt he'd agree that it's dogmatic, nor would I. Governments are certainly needed for certain things, but politicians tend to come up with problems to solve, or try to solve problems which they are not equipped to solve. They aren't really supposed to create a social order so much as a legal one, anyway. Even if the could, I'd see that as disturbingly close to brain-washing...
Are terms of service somewhat consistent in their language? And if that's the case, couldn't someone build something that scans Terms across products and summarize what exactly it is you are giving up by accepting the Terms?

> Monotheism was popularized to transcend kinship, in order to raise large armies.

When you say that, what are you thinking of? Rome wasn't monotheistic, before it Judaism wasn't really a military powerhouse, and Christianity only really came of power due to it's growing popularity in the Roman Empire. I can't think of an example of an ancient monotheistic empire, and post-classical it's really only Islam and Christianity, and for Christianity at least, that seems to be largely secondary, based upon institutions of a polytheistic past.
What I would suggest is to actually take advantage of the environment that the university provides to you. Speak with professors, learn what they do, ask questions, potentially work with them, interact with students - generally try to learn as much as possible by exploring all the different sides of the comp. science world and most importantly, enjoy it!!!

This is really sad. KyoAni (Kyoto Animation) is, as said in other thread, one of the current best animation studios in the world. I grow up watching their animes and thinking how they're amazing compared to the majority of japanese studios.

Some animes bought by them:

- Full Metal Panic (many laughs, amazing characters and great animation)

- Air (this is the first time that I did cry in a series of any kind)

- Kanon (really good adaptation of this great Visual Novel)

- Clannad (a really emotional series for me, even if the Visual Novel is better the anime still does a great service for this series)

- Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (this is the anime that made me fan of them, a unique approach of slice of life and overpowered beings that was great in its time)

- Lucky Star (funny otakus done right)

- K-On! (a good anime showing cute girls doing cute things)

- Hyouka ("Sherlock Holmes goes to a japanese high school")

- Nichijou (funny nonsense done right)

- Sound Euphonium (I still remember that amazing scene at episode 11)

- Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (a great surprise, this seems like a goof series on its premise however it is so heartwarming)

- Violet Evergarden (this is available in Netflix and I recommend simply because the animation is amazing and the story is really emotional)

I don't really care about the reasons of the suspect, there are better ways to claim copyright infringement, and even if it didn't, there is no reason to take human lives.
> Especially over-seas, since translation is a very labor intensive and largely manual process.

Subbed translations at least previously were not usually very labor intensive if you didn't try to do heavy localization or typesetting everything (I remember someone translating every single book name in some bookcase). Fansubs managed to do pretty good job with just about 1MD worth of effort per episode (~20x length of the episode, extremely small amount compared to work required to actually produce the original episode). Old fansubs did need quite a bit more, but improved processes, tools & computers (just encoding & uploading used to pretty slow step) also improved the overall speed. No clue what how much CR & co need these days.

Of course, dubbing is very different case, but that's usually only done for DVD/Blu-ray releases. No clue if it's really worth to do it though, but my viewpoint is probably too biased.
This post was my reaction to such bad advice. These are all the "tips" that I thought were actually useful, I'm hoping there are more in the comments here.

On top of that, FaceApp doesn't request Geolocation permissions while Snap integrates a map of friends in the app itself.
I tried, but I'm not a fan, mostly because the BBC's website is shitty as hell, and I can't be bothered. No one else really makes them, as it's wildly unprofitable, but BBC is runing on tax money, so they don't particularly care. I sometimes listen to dramatized versions of audiobooks. In my country, they're sometimes made, released commercially, and not abridged.
> How to survive an open office

Step 1: Instead of working, write a blog post about how you don’t like it and post it to Hacker News.

Step 2: Cash your $5,000 paycheck and spend it on service employees who live with 3 roommates in order to make rent.

(I call the latter concept “open homes,” and I plan to write a blog post about it later)
the amount of work they do -- and the code produced, and thus the work reviewers have to do -- should be proportionate to how unusual the necessary error handling is.

Great comment. I would add how unusual _and critical_.

One of the things I love about Python is that while I know errors can occur on practically every statement written, I only have to add error handling for likely / expected / critical errors. Any unlikely errors that occur, even in production, will show a detailed stack trace (lots of context), making them easy to fix.

In my experience, things work as expected 98% of the time. For some software, like a pacemaker, checking the execution of every single line of code and even having redundant error checking is not overkill. For other software, like the backup software I work on, having one customer out of 1000 get a weird error is something I'd rather deal with as a support ticket rather than having to anticipate it while writing code.

Of course error handling is important, but requiring 3 lines of error handling for every 1 line of actual code has kept me from investigating Go to replace Python for HashBackup. I'd love to get the performance increase, but not for a 4x expansion of LOC.
It’s somewhere in the middle. The cultural shift is happening though. And once the market is ready, they’ll need tools. Right now it’s simply too complicated to not only understand what an application can do with your data, but then taking actions on that data (right to be forgotten, etc.) in the future. If you’re at all interested in this space feel free to email me. I’m working on something that isn’t quite ready to discuss publicly yet.
Is this problem more an urban or rural thing? Is it related to any certain age groups? Is the problem stratified by education or occupational categories?
People can even feel different from you. The shock! Personally, I really don't care about open office. I get my stuff done one way or another. However, working remotely is definitely my preferred option, mostly because I don't feel any need to be in the office and I am just more comfortable at home.

What I never even want to imagine is having to go work in a office where then I have to feel lonely. That's the worst of both worlds.

I spot-checked some of those IPs in the video, and it appears all of them are on Amazon. So, what does the attacker's stack look like? Is it a bunch of servers running PHP and listening for a connection to run curl? Or Lambda functions configured to proxy the connection attempt to IG? Curious how much effort goes into setting up an attack like this. It's surprising (to me) that so many IPs can be used for so little money.

With Language Corpus, we eventually plan to have many thousands of audio recordings in many hundreds of languages along with transcripts and translations, and we have a recommendation engine that keeps track of a user's progress and recommends to them recordings which will provide the most comprehensible input.

As we gather recordings (someone can record themselves directly in our website), a program does a first-draft transcript and translation using GPC's language APIs, and then we find native speakers to edit those.

You need to re-read the announcement. It literally says they are looking into whether Amazon acted in an anti competitive manner and abused its market position. Half of the announcement is them listing actions that are not abuse of dominance.

You also need to reread the section on EU antitrust you posted, since abuse of dominance is just one of many potential antitrust concerns they can investigate.

Sure. I am willing to pay for this sort of content (some of my favorites are Audible Originals, e.g. the ones by Michael Lewis and Jon Ronson).

Unfortunately, besides Audible, most of the subscription networks (looking at you, Luminary) seem to offer the same genre of chatter/interview podcasts I can get plenty of for free.
Further: Keybase is a security product and it wasn't deemed worth the risk for the CEO. And while Keybase isn't made of money, the $5k was roughly irrelevant compared to the other costs mentioned here and the _magnitude of the risk_.

If you haven't been through this kind of thing, it's hard to understand how scary it is to have a break-in of unknown origin. If you use strong, unique passwords as Max did, then you're almost certain it's a server break in (and again, this is why Slack is scary for sensitive info)...but being 99% certain isn't enough. Removing that computer permanently from the team gave peace of mind.
