Yev here -> things have changed! For 1TB of data on B2 the cost of the service is actually LESS expensive for B2 than the computer backup ($6/month unlimited). B2 is priced at $5/TB/Mo - so that price has stayed the same. We also just opened a data center in Amsterdam - so you can create an account in the EU and your data will be stored there! Not sure if that helps, but figured I'd let you know!
>>Immediately after liftoff, the captain’s airspeed indication failed, airspeed-disagreement and altitude-disagreement warnings appeared on his flight display and his stick shaker began to rattle the controls in warning of an imminent stall.

This simple fact has simply been ignored by the broder community on hackernews who are not pilots. The airspeed indicator is tied into the AoA sensor. The moment the AoA fails the pilots recieve an airspeed disagreement warning that must be fixed using the unreliable airspeed checklist. If your analysis of what happend on either of the accident flight ignores this critical fact you are wrong.

It sounds like these are DICOM servers being exposed to the internet. DICOM is the standard file format for medical images, and there's also a DICOM server standard. Medical equipment sends images to DICOM servers so your ultrasound (or whatever) can be archived and stored in your medical records. The generic term is a PACS ("Picture Archiving and Communication System") but since equipment speak DICOM, they're always(?) DICOM servers.

DICOM servers are often not very secured, so if you allow the internet to talk to them, you're in for a bad time.

One thing that always annoys me about these sorts of posts is how much they oversell the competence of publishers.

I've worked in book publishing most of my career, both with publishers and with independent authors. Trust me, the publisher's marketing strategy is nothing special.

The difference between a successful book and a middling book, barring the impossibly rare "so good it organically becomes a world beater," is the size of the author's platform. Publishers have a rigid PR/marketing process they run for every book, involving sending galleys (press copies) to the same press contacts, and sometimes those efforts net press coverage, and sometimes that coverage will result in some sales. If a press is very forward-thinking, by industry standards, they may invest in building the author a website or helping manage social.

However, books that hit bestseller lists are typically written by authors who have a large, engaged audience they've built on their own. The impact of a publisher's marketing budget is typically small, and definitely not worth giving up 80%-plus of your sales due to royalties.

I believe you are doing it wrong here, since the code is parsed only once and then executed in a loop in the first sample. If you parsed one array with 10000000 elements it should be faster.
Please be specific about the issues and let’s discuss. I am serious - this list is optimized for maintainability of code. Developer time is more valuable than processor cycles, in most cases. Unless you are the kind of person who would argue that C++ introducing object orientation and virtual methods made everything slower and that extra indirection by default is hilariously bad architecture?
He does have a point that churn/the new hotness is a real issue, and the latest hotness in JS library/framework have a very short shelf-life. On the other hand, projects like Babel or Polymer, that want to be obsolete at some point, but will require minimal re-writing when that happens are excellent and future-proof.
Oh please. We use torproxy unmodified from upstream so the risk is fingerprinting — which is why we warn people looking for Tor-level network privacy on fear of life and limb to use Tor directly. Tor private windows in Brave are for users who should not have to find a trustworthy VPN to cope with untrusted wifi hotspots and the like.

The “selling user data” line betrays ignorance of how data is valued. Google doesn’t sell bulk data to advertisers, it gives API access to ad exchange operations that leak data but not the whole user profile, especially not the valuable correlations, brand loyalties, and shopping searches that run for weeks in case of cars or other major purchases.

Brave builds client only alternatives for anonymous donations and private ads that pay the user 70% of gross. We are making this verifiable on chain in the next stage of our BAT roadmap. If we defected and stole money or data, we would thus be caught and roasted into the ground by our lead users. This is by design.

Last thing: I am hardly an anti establishment leader. I am too busy running a startup, trying to get revenue to cross over based on flat and small/standard fees that leave the big fee to the user.

If you want to find controlled opposition, ask to see the terms of Google’s search deals with other browsers, especially the ones that have been slow and weak on tracking protection that is on by default. A Microsoft contact last year said he suspected those terms include proscription of tracking protection that is on by default, or at least that impairs Google search ads confirmation.
No worries. I really do mean that, in general, our political climate seems dysfunctional in a way that I personally think reflects exactly what Tocqueville was talking about. I wasn't calling out any specific person or party or anything.

I agree with your colleague: Vue is a lot more enjoyable to work with. I've disliked React every time I've worked with it and Vue has always been a good experience by contrast. For some reason working with React always makes me feel like it's the Java of JS frameworks. The problem ultimately is, Vue has long since badly lost the mindshare battle, React won. That doesn't matter for every developer or situation of course.

Second that, after 34 years in the game I'm always on the lookout for dead or dying code. Every line I can put out of its misery is one less to deal with in the future.

I don’t understand how it’s possible to generationally take “...massive debt to pay for entitlements that will eventually have to be paid for by their grandchildren”

The debt is there but really it’s a wealth redistribution/accounting problem. Someone owns the other side of the debt, and considers it an asset so in aggregate it’s a net zero.

The problem really is that debt that can’t be paid won’t so are we really just looking at some sort of large scale accounting trick where someone is more wealthy than they actually are.
Read further down though! He gets to the self-cleaning of the marketplace through "Gauntlets" – that unpopular opinions will be attacked, but if there's truth to them and they stand, they'll eventually be accepted and become mainstream (ex: "smoking causes cancer" from 1940 -> 1960)

The cigarette story is a story of the MPI doing its job. It’s a story of a needle of truth rising up from a haystack on the fringes of the big brain’s consciousness and piercing its way through a century-long barrage of gauntlet attacks until it had conquered the Thought Pile mountain and become the mainstream, status quo viewpoint.

Any idea where this arms race comes from? Were the colleges holding classes with empty seats because they couldn't get enough students?

One would like to think that this would allow new schools to materialize that opt out of that race to the top, though of course the overhead is very high. I've been watching Signum University, an online-only school, work its way to accreditation over the past several years, and they're nowhere close. (A big bolus of cash would probably help; they're trying to do it with only small-donor donations.)

I feel like college has become not-worth-it in the three decades since my degree, though unfortunately that's not true: even with the ballooning costs it's still a net positive. It just seems as if they're raising prices to absorb as much of that net positive as they can, and in doing so the people on the left side of the return curve go from positive to negative. Since the schools get theirs up front, that's pure positive for them.

In 2018 at my local makerspace, one of the guys behind this[0] research did a talk about "noise interference" in quantum computers. He did a great job of explaining how conventional electronic components are unsuitable for the precise and isolated requirements of quantum computing. What really left an impression was the remark he made about error-checking. It was something like, the then-current state-of-the-art qbit tech requires eight qbits to error correct every one qbit to at the same level current x86 computers are error-corrected, meaning that a viable quantum computer is a very, very long way away.

I love how “employer paying half” of a so-called benefit has become the norm. I’m old enough to remember when health insurance was an actual full benefit that you didn’t have to pay for at all. It never even showed up on your paystub. No payroll deduction, no or low deductible, sometimes even no copay. You go to the doctor and walk out.

Now we’re paying from our paychecks, then paying again at the doctor, then getting billed, then waiting for the EOB from insurance, then taking hours a month to manually match up the EOBs with the bills to verify who to pay and how much. And then, MAYBE by the end of the year you reach your deductible and insurance starts actually paying.

They call this a benefit??

Far from a genius myself, I've quite enjoyed using Gremlin and the Apache Tinkerpop project. If you start thinking of it as a functional language, I believe that helps clarify quite a bit what is going on.

Unfortunately when using it with a distributed backend (Cassandra, for example), having to write query templates to take advantage of bit-wise comparisons for parameterizing, all in Groovy, was extremely painful mostly because I found Groovy to be very awkward.

But there are language-native protocol implementations of Gremlin now.

The little self-contained Apache Tinkerpop project was always fun to play with toy graphhs in.

And there was an ambitious project to implement the Tinkerpop engine on top of a Redis backend (akin to RedisGraph which is now an official module using Cypher) but it is far from a straightforward project. There is even a Tinkerpop implementation on top of PostgreSQL which looks interesting.

I'm not sure this is a death blow for Tinkerpop so much as a marketing coup the grace for Neo4J. They have a strong product (despite the index-free adjacency!) and an even strong branding behind it. Anything that brings graph DB/technologies into the mainstream is always nice, though. Not that everything in the world is a graph problem...but surely there are plenty that can be classified as such.

I'm not familiar with xquery, does it handle general graphs or only DAGs? Your mention of "objects and sub-objects" makes me think you're expecting a different use-case than actual graph databases, which deals more with peer-to-peer connections (like knowledge graphs) than hierarchical models.

So doing this would only work on top-level declarations, because the javascript runtime will cache the parsed JSON structure for subsequent executions (eg. creating an object in a loop).

Then the model simply shifts:

2. Create Netflix accounts with those credit cards
3. Sell those accounts on EBay, even after the user reports the card as stolen it will continue to work.
