Hy-Vee breach announced this week. I shop Hy-Vee several times a week and saw a $250 charge on my card on 8/20. Hard to believe it isn't from this breach.

Someone signed up for a Zelle account with my card. Managed to initiate a transfer. I had never heard of Zelle, but there's a 0% chance I'll ever use them now. Luckily my bank does not use them...
Android was actually a Google acquisition as well...
It's more like record labels aren't vertically integrated. Sony used to be, but piracy and the iPod made that less relevant just as streaming became viable. I'm an ex-Spotifier. The story we got was that piracy had disrupted the music industry so much it brought the majors to the bargaining table. This is completely different than the state of movies and TV shows.

Netflix back-doored and and muscled its way in, but it never had even close to a full catalog, so it had to compete with its own content. The other big difference is that we associate TV shows with their distributors (GoT was on HBO, House of Cards Netflix, Seinfeld NBC, etc.) Artists and labels? Unless you're looking at something indie like Fat Wreck Chords, nope, most people couldn't tell you who artists are signed to.
People that own one type of share of Pivotal are getting $15 per share for them. Dell, which owns a different type of share, is exchanging the Pivotal shares for VMWare shares. Because the shares of Pivotal and VMWare have different values, it isn't a 1:1 exchange, the VMWare shares are treated as being ~20 times more valuable.

I would say the transaction is mostly boring accounting, not anything weird. Who knows if Pivotal should operate as part of VMWare instead of independently, but once you decide to do that, you have to consolidate the ownership somehow.

An aside, the difference in the shares is so that Dell could keep control of the company while selling some of it on the stock market. I wonder if there is a good analysis of how companies with closely held control do over time.
> Bolsonaro's government is a criminal regime

I live in Brazil and I disagree. I think his government is messy, but the previous ones were pretty bad as well. They almosted bankrupted the country, which was why Bolsonaro managed to elect himself as president with the argument of "I'm not them". He is simply incompetent, which shows.

NG is a byproduct of oil drilling. You either pipe and distribute to do work or burn it off. The former is much better environmentally than the latter.

Countries with local NG supplies, especially developing ones, really should use them.
Given "it's good that they're donating to mental health organisations" and "healing crystals are bullshit but profitable",
it seems plausible to me that it's net-good to sell healing crystals if it leads to more money donated to mental health organisations.

> You don't value their product enough to actually pay for it. It's available on TPB? Well, sure I'll watch it, why not. No torrent? Too bad, I'll just watch something else.

I don't buy that argument. Its analogous to saying if Windows was not available on pirate platforms people would "just" switch to Linux.

Part of the problem is that it had none of the filtering tools of NLS, and the linking/sharing/addressing tools had a terrible UI. It could have used some kind of changelog/journal as well.

I wish someone could have shown them The Mother of All Demos, if they could make it do mostly that it could have been amazing, but they were probably pretty heavy into drinking their own flavor-aid at that point.
The Netflix UI is atrocious. It feeds the same content in a loop. I never seem to find anything and much prefer HBO Go's UI wich reverse sorts content by date.

This is a _great_ article. One of the things I enjoy most is finding new ways to understand or think about things I already feel like I know. This article helped me do both with transformer networks. I especially liked how explicitly and simply things were explained like queries, keys, and values; permutation equivariance; and even the distinction between learned model parameters and parameters derived from the data (like the attention weights).

The author quotes Feynman, and I think this is a great example of his concept of explaining complex subjects in simple terms.

Actually I was wrong about the initial and later direction of the orbit axis. It started with the orbiter swinging way to the left, as seen from earth (axis pointing at us), and is rotating now to be behind the moon, most of the time, come early next week, and in sight when it needs to do burns to circularize its orbit. By the time it lands, the orbit should have swung further and be coming up close to its axis pointing not too far from us, again. It should be in line of sight most of the time, by then.
Then you should be grateful that your carrier doesn't impose this kind of thing on you. There are parts of the world where carriers are known to use this kind of features for their own transactional messages. A prepaid Singtel card for example, displays your remaining balance in such a way.
Angularjs + Angular doesn't belong in that list.

Because American gas pumps still primarily use magstripe readers and thus skimmers are still a problem. Many new pumps are starting to get Apple/Android contactless payment, but I've found that most of the pumps that have the hardware don't actually have it enabled for whatever reason.
From the article: potatoes, pork, lamb, apples, cucumbers and Cheerios.

The addition of potatoes and apples makes the case far more interesting imo, as it makes the diet closer to what many people might think is sufficient.

I'm 38 and have a pretty good salary. About 50% after tax goes to rent, 25% goes to paying down debt inherited from getting married and medical bills (previous employer had shit insurance). The last 25% is what we live on for essentials (insurance, gas and tolls to go to work, utilities, food, etc). My wife and I have long ago paid off out student loan debt. We have 10s of thousands in high interest, unsecured debt. Debt, that in theory we could pay off tomorrow from savings. However, since most of my savings (my wife has none) is spread across 2 401ks, a Roth IRA, a traditional IRA and a taxed investment account, and I work for an investment fund, I'm subject to all sorts of lockups, retention requirements and blacklists on trades on securities held by my employer. Tl;Dr; I have savings to cover my debts, but cant legally access most of it.

I'm not unhappy that I got married, but I didn't consider the financial repercussions before I went through with it.
Yeah, mine was somewhere in the College Park “neighborhood”

I read the article with great excitement and enthusiasm. The idea of contact-less rotor and dynamic positioning is IMO brilliant. However when I read the overview article on Wikipedia, my optimism was somewhat damped. Even the "ancient" model Jarvik-5 could a help a calf survive for 286 days, so the 90 days bovine-testing does not say much. Other prototypes had achieved even greater success in human trial but were later abandoned like the AbioCor design. OHSU has developed a simple design with contact-less shuttling pump similar to the concept of Bivacor but seem failed for clinical trial. Other design like the Carmat, the Polish POLVAD or the Taiwanese Phoenix-7 seem very promising too, but they obviously didn't make any breakthrough yet. AFAIK the bio-compatibility and the stability of the artificial heart are the most important factors. As auch, I think we're still years away when not decades away from a real breakthrough in artificial heart.

Just browsing around I stumbled onto this awesome page: https://www.geocitiesarchive.org/arclc/h/u/humehwy31/aug1.ht...

This is someone doing an early form of blogging, chronicling a road trip all across Australia, with a bunch of photos. I love how simple the website is, and how the author took time to explain what links were and what you should do to navigate through the posts.

That's the kind of stuff that was so neat to explore back in the day. What a trip down memory lane!
The crux of the problem is that central banks have been trying to encourage "aggregate demand" by lowering interest rates to incentivizing people and businesses to borrow (and spend) money. Now we're at the point where many of our institutions and most of our population is drowning in debt and our interest rates are already close to zero.

It seems pretty obvious that massive wealth accumulation by the upper millionith of society precludes any solution. The only way to increase "aggregate demand" is if the people have money to spend. Real wages have been stagnant or falling for ~15 years and debt levels are at record highs. Cost of living increases (healthcare, food, education, housing, insurance) rise greatly each year, outpacing both stagnant wages and official inflation numbers.

We're playing a game of monopoly where a couple of people already own every property and have them all stacked with houses and hotels. The rest of the players are trying to circle the board and collect their $200 from passing go and praying to god they don't land on a property that will bankrupt them completely before they make it around the board again. This economic system is not sustainable.
Quick anecdote: I was in a bar in NYC and overheard an i-banker running his mouth about an M&A deal he was working on. The deal closed a month or two later.
Some of the newer envelopes are designed to be at least reused a single time, with a clean perforation to open it, and a second glue strip ready to be peeled. These are designed for shipping back returns, not really for general reuse.

It would be so nice if they could take it a step further and design the envelopes for true multiple re-use.

For example, the white waterproof slightly padded envelopes from Amazon tear open cleanly (most of the time) but aren't extremely reusable because you have to fold over the open end on itself to tape it shut, which looks terrible, and seems flimsy, so I don't save them that often.

I think the biggest challenge is that the closer you get to full re-use, the closer you also get to making it trivial for someone to pop open the envelope, steal what's inside, and reseal it like they were never there.
I need help with some math... any stats/bi/experts out there willing to converse on this?

Kerry Katona Diet
Kerry Katona has lost 14 stone in 9 months. This is partly due to liposuction costing £15,000 which was then followed by 6 months of a brand new diet regime. She lives on Bran flakes, salads with grilled chicken and protein shakes throughout the week, and treats herself to fatty things only at the weekends.

She has salads and chicken breasts for lunch and sometimes dinner, but sometimes she replaces her dinner with a filling protein shake. (Source: Daily Mail 15th January 2009)

It was later reported that she put 30 lbs back on and decided to attend fat camp to kick start her weight loss again. She wants to be seen as the attractive girl next-door as she was once known and hopefully this time she will harness her discipline and keep to the routine that lost her loads of weight before.

She said her new diet is working and she is on the Special K diet and is using the gym to tone up; mainly sit-ups and using the treadmill until she can hardly speak!.

I think the terminology is a little silly but presenting your devs with an abstract view of the underlying physical/virtual infrastructure is good for the ops and dev teams in terms of flexibility.

It’s a framework that makes it hard for one side to accidentally depend on something they shouldn’t.
There were a whole bunch of these being actively developed around 2009-2012, but all of them slowly died out because each one had at least one of several issues that made them difficult or annoying to use, usually either requiring forgettable steps to actually distribute, or polluting the commits/branches with their own tracking.

My personal solution is similar to sibling comments, but more structured - using vimwiki in a subdirectory inside the repo, and committing updates alongside the relevant code changes.

Even if he took a supplement, it's possible he wasn't absorbing it properly. Most supplement makers are reluctant to include high doses of Vitamin A in retinyl form, because it can cause liver damage. However, vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene has it's own host of absorption issues. In addition to being fat-soluble (i.e., must be taken with a sufficient amount of fat, or else it will compete with any other fat-soluble vitamins in the meal), it is also affected by high dosage of certain minerals. From ConsumerLab:

High doses of ferrous iron (but not ferric iron) or other minerals (calcium, magnesium, and zinc) from supplements may decrease the absorption of carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, lycopene and astaxanthin, from foods and/or supplements. This is likely due to a reaction between carotenoids and the divalent ions of these minerals, making the carotenoids less bioavailable (Corte-Real, Food Chem 2016; Biehler, J Nutr 2011). It is best to take carotenoid supplements at a different time of day than a supplement or meal containing large amounts of a mineral.

"Pivotal trades at a loss but revenue is growing. Having said that, in its report to investors last month, after the release of its first quarter results for FY 2020, the company issued revenue projections that were lower than expected. Shares immediately suffered a more than 40 per cent fall and have not yet recovered. They're currently cruising along at about $10 apiece, five bucks below its 2018 IPO opening price of $15."

Interesting that the IPO price was also $15.
The most realistic game available to the public right now is Arma 3. Which is is built on the same system as the military variant VBS3.

We use VBS3 in the Irish Defence Forces (and I know many other militaries are using it also) and its capabilities are just incredible in terms of realism. It lets you build and run so many different scenarios and they have done a great job of getting minor details to work very well. It will never replace full live training but at the same time it lets you practice over and over again to maximise your time in the field (and also do things that costs, equipment etc would not allow for.)

John Churchill, aka Duke of Marlborough, was a master of logistics in when it was a rare skill. It was a key component in his many victories. [1] I'm sure there are counterexamples but good logistics underlay most of the great allied victories of WW II as well as the near German victory at the start of WW I.

I don't see why not. Any advance in transportation or communication has an impact. If drones could deliver everything that would be major for example. And obviously gps, computer path/packing optimization, and warehouse automation have been big.

I've been using Plex for a good 3 or 4 years now, and have upgraded through a good half dozen or so version upgrades. What disappointed me the most is that their support for subtitles has gotten progressively worse over time. I did all the tricks to try and make subtitles work, whether embedded or not, but in the end I found it easier just to navigate to the folder on my NAS and open the .mkv in VLC, which recognises embedded subtitles no problem!

And yet Arma 3 is pathetically unrealistic.

The fact that Picture-In-Picture scopes are so rare even within the game's assets shows a certain contempt for realism. I've never had to load bullets into my magazine one by one in Arma before. I've had to do that plenty of times in Escape from Tarkov. Red Orchestra also has more realistic scopes and gun mechanics.

Sustained warfare requires sustainment operations to keep the warfighters in business:

Class 3 - fuel, petroleum, and lubricants

Class 5 - ammunition

Class 8 - medical supplies

Class 9 - repair parts for equipment

Without logistics, the warfighters who employ tactics will not get very far or do very much.

I worked at Sun in Menlo Park in the 2002 post-bubble sadness, when the satellite buildings were slowly being closed and the free coffee was being scaled back.

I remember vividly a town hall with Johnathan Schwartz as the speaker (he was briefly CEO but wasn't at the time).

One of the engineers, after hearing a speech full of buzzwords but no substance asked "Okay, but how does this actually make us money?"

The engineer was politely told to shut up, focus on engineering and leave the "making money" part to the businessmen.

We all know how that worked out.

RIP Sun.
That is super cool!

Like collecting any data at all? I mean “what browsers and what versions do I need to support” and “what resolutions do I need to design for” are pretty benign questions.
Ok so to clarify VBS3. The individual soldier stuff is so-so. There isn't much training benefit to a soldier from loading a virtual magazine. There is however when something like VBS3 allows them to practice being a JTAC over their lunch break.

The really advanced bits are the range of equipment, combined operations and realistic scenarios you can create for it. Wanna recreate a local village, throw in realistic civilians and adversaries, match your convoy and run drills with multiple land, sea and air assets? No problem, easily done.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance#Formal_definitio...

> Given two strings a and b on an alphabet Σ (e.g. the set of ASCII characters, the set of bytes [0..255], etc.), the edit distance d(a, b) is the minimum-weight series of edit operations that transforms a into b. One of the simplest sets of edit operations is that defined by Levenshtein in 1966
Insertion of a single symbol. If a = uv, then inserting the symbol x produces uxv. This can also be denoted ε→x, using ε to denote the empty string.
Deletion of a single symbol changes uxv to uv (x→ε).
Substitution of a single symbol x for a symbol y ≠ x changes uxv to uyv (x→y).

...

> Other variants of edit distance are obtained by restricting the set of operations. Longest common subsequence (LCS) distance is edit distance with insertion and deletion as the only two edit operations, both at unit cost. Similarly, by only allowing substitutions (again at unit cost), Hamming distance is obtained; this must be restricted to equal-length strings.
