eh, I used to think this too, but time spent studying anarchism (hey, its intellectually interesting) has left me with the conclusion that its a natural human tendency in any social system. Simply put: no matter the idea or society involved (even if the idea is anti-hierarchy, anti-status like anarchism), it is easier to remember the idea if there is a face you can put to the name. Put into practice, that means that most cultural, ideological, social or matters of importance will end up having at least one person associated with them. Those people, in turn, then become celebrities by virtue of the fact that lost of people then associate the idea or phenomenon with the person. Advertising and propaganda then catapult that into the phenomenon we have today of celebrities, but that's ultimately just making 100x more potent what would otherwise be an unavoidable (and I saw unavoidable because even anarchist communities can't get away from it) aspect of how humans interpret and remember things about the world.

Put another way, I think this is a similar side of the coin to the fact that most people tend to (consciously or not) put together lists of: "X knows about this better than me, and I trust X, and don't have time to devote to learning about this topic, therefore if I ever need to know more about this topic I can call X" for almost every aspect of our lives.

Note: I have no source here, this is just personally derived observation. A real study on this would be quite interesting. Though I'm sure when we discussed its results, we would do so by discussing the scientist's name and reputation.
Was going to say the same.

Similar experience with using Google Docs. Literally cannot figure out how to go to back to the document folder. I moved to Heap Analytics because the Google Analytics experience was so confusing and nested - I'm much happier now.
A single product can't work for everyone.

If you live in the outback and your network connection is literally provided by pigeons, maybe an online backup service isn't the correct solution.

External drives and TimeMachine/Windows Backup should be sufficient.

Boomers did have a lot of kids, the millennials. GenX is the in between generation.
China is never going to mess with Apple in any significant way. Not only would it be cutting off their nose to spite their face in terms of unemployment, it would immediately lead to capital flight out of China which they absolutely can't afford.

It'd basically undermine the entire economic model that has led to China's rise out of poverty over the past 30-40 years.

And Apple is such a high profile company that it would likely cause an international incident.
The Greatest Generation was famous for having lots of kids, resulting in the (baby) boomers. GenX is smaller than the millenials and GenZ in the US: https://www.statista.com/statistics/797321/us-population-by-...
Java is no longer uniform, especially in the latest versions they're adding more and more features. And there's also Kotlin and project Lombok for people that want even more excitement.

And yet Java somehow manages to be both a boring language and still have too many things to lean. This achievement is probably not appreciated enough by those that criticize it.
I said "being creepy" because I was being vague. He was doing much worse than that.

Unbelievable...

Oh no! They might block US tech companies from doing business in China unless they comply with draconian authoritarianism. Everyone in tech knows China has been completely outrageous in its treatment of US companies for decades.

Size of a generation only matters if they actually vote.
OP literally said “remotely” in the comment. I’m guessing they don’t/can’t move there and your only solution is to go against their major constraint.
People who illegally cross the border are not legal asylum seekers. Those who do so with children they are trafficking are even more of an issue, and you know this is happening.
To anyone interested in Nietzsche, I strongly recommend reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The subject of the book, or some of it is mankind becoming the over-man. Nazis took this to mean the Aryan, but it was just propaganda. Some parts of the book are just absolutely beautiful. Nietzsche's description of man becoming the over-man, like walking across a tight rope. The guy was absolutely insane, but he knew it, and he embraced it as a fuel. I have to say, it worked too.
Even Snopes says it's true.

Happy to see Apple caught in such a difficult situation. They insist on being the sole arbiter of what software a user is allowed to install on their device, so this is their burden to bear. They could at any point give up their walled garden approach to iOS, but they won't, so they're dragged into this impossible situation of appeasing CCP or appeasing the rest of the world.

FWIW I'm happy they've chosen to allow the app (although at first they didn't), but the whole situation really brings the consequences of controlling a user's device to light. I hope it changes.
Paying more for things is also considered growth.

Presumably higher quality content
thats just crazy talk
Indeed, and just like in the real world many computer users do the equivalent of not even washing their hands after using the bathroom.
I wonder how involved the customer was in the choice of technology. I think the long term costs of choosing Elm will be higher than any perceived gain during the initial development period.

The number of developers with Elm experience in Norway is small, and I think it will make it harder to attract good consultants that want to work on it.

> Apple will most likely be fine because it's unlike any other western company operating in China in that it employs a lot of people assembling their products. It's not in the CCP's interest for people to boycott Apple in a nationalist fervor only for unemployment to rise, which would be an existential threat to the CCP if they lost control of.

The CCP isn't going to compromise on its core authoritarian and nationalist values over a piddling concern about the unemployment caused by one Western company leaving. Apple's not that important, and my guess is the problems caused by the trade war dwarf any effect Apple could cause.

Also, I doubt they like Apple much anyway, and they would probably welcome the disruption to Apple that it would experience during a pullout. Might create opportunities for Huawei or Oppo.
The Bones We Leave Behind
Recommended Coding/Data Science BootCamps in Southern California
I recently parted ways with tier 2 level brokerage after 8 years of institutional equity sales trading experience (FINRA Series 7, 63, 57) and looking to add quantitative capabilities to my resume/experience.

As we all know, certainly boot camps are more reputable than others. Always a controversial topic. Is it better to go through a program through a local university (UCLA, USC)?? Are some private education platforms more reputable than others?? Is there a specific boot camp you would suggest given my trading history?? Preferably a program that lends itself to the finance industry??

Thanks in advance!
I think if it was really literally just the password, it would be pretty weak grounds to fire someone. But OP says he was being deliberately vague so as not to be specific about the situation, and there was a lot more going on. The guy got fired for his actions, not his password. The password was just a tipping point.
But they are donating more than twice that. This seems like a pretty empty criticism.
"Enhance."
> This is simply incorrect. Every economic output requires material inputs...There is simply no such thing as "immaterial" economic production.

Parent post was talking about marginal cost of production. E.g. where once we'd buy servers to run services on, we now share servers rented "by the cycle" from providers who amortize the cost over many users. Idle servers can be running at-the-moment economically valuable code for others. It's even possible that some economically valuable computation I might cause to be performed could consume an immeasurably small amount of power compared to the server sitting idle.

Your formulation reminds me of the "labour theory of value" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_value).
I've had that break config files in $HOME in the past, but it's nothing ZFS can't deal with.
At it's core, yes, but I think it's less "cold air" and more thermally equilibrating with the radiative temperature of the night sky which is more like 3 degrees Kelvin. So in essence you are lowering the temperature of the cold sink until the ambient temperature is comparatively hot to extract work out of your heat pump.
Offtopic. Many teams use mailing lists. That UX always scared me. Is anybody know good tutorials on how to getting started to use this kind of interfaces?
> GNU hasn't had an answer to this besides "boycott it," which feels an awful lot like horse-riders suggesting we deal with the problems with cars by never owning or supporting ownership of them.

Epic is owned ~45% by Tencent. So I doubt this is going to be true.

There's a real risk for just saying something at this point. Thus lip-service like this is itself more than "just lip service".
Why wouldn't this solution make sense for apple? They seem to be bound to Intel for processors, they practically hate Nvidia and they are fans of smaller highly integrated products?
Don't even need to play Devil's Advocate here.

I guarantee 100% that this is the exact reason. If they're truly deleting ALL your data, could you imagine the customer service nightmare if someone's account got hacked and the attacker could issue a request to delete the entire account with no method for recovery?
This is really disingenuous. You're removing context, cherry picking and inserting your own context to create a false narrative. Why?
Yeah, I envision fewer performance tests at a higher level of granularity. Not only might you miss annotations here and there, but allocations aren't the only thing (although they are probably the most significant) that would affect your performance and my proposal won't cover you there.
You can translate this short article of mine https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/azzerare-con-poco-il-debito-t... to get real, low-cost “toys” for a small mechatronics lab suited to almost any dl & rl starting level endeavor you want. (tldr: less than $1.5k would suffice in first instance)
Whenever a non-technical person makes these claims I wish someone would standup and ask what sort of repercussions they believe would be acceptable for breaking the law and using the key illegally. Equifax royally screwed 147 million people, and no one did any time for it. Even if they had we'd be talking microseconds per person they screwed over.

It becomes unfathomable how huge of a problem this could cause and then when it happens it get swept under the rug and not a big deal. If the PM thinks its ok to have a key under the mat then I wanna know how much time he should be doing when someone gets my personal information and makes me have to deal with identity theft. Would 10 seconds of jail time for my life long struggle be acceptable? For the Equifax CEO that would have been half a year.
I shouldn't blame you, but maybe branch off to a better phrase like "the one I'd commit to."
Normal talks are certainly okay, but if they are supportive of terrorists, then the state will surely protest.
Those last two quotes sound consistent to me. If Valve could operate on a 12% cut without exclusives, that would prove him was wrong that it's impossible, thus he would change his position if they did so.
"They will jail, and have even been known to execute, any political or business leader if an "outrage machine" revs about the guy for too long."

Wait, when did the US kill a political or business leader because of social media pressure?
The same article states:

While your point is true on a basic level, I think The parent’s point is on to something.

There must be a level of economic production that falls below the level of emission that can be absorbed without contributing to climate change. Furthermore in <1billion years everything on earth dies anyway (due to an expanding, ageing, sun) - so it is sustainable to use <1billionth of non-renewable resources.

20 years ago you could also sniff passwords for all Windows users in the same subnet as you. Windows used the NTLM scheme which was known to be weak even back then. An AMD K6 running overnight cracked almost all of them at my university's lab, including the Active Directory domain admin.
In the 1970es the usd is also delinked from the price of gold. This allows for rampant inflation which should be filtered out from the growth figures but maybe it is not quite the case ...
You know how virtually all American politicians end their speeches with 'and God bless America'? That's a great example of virtue signalling. It doesn't really add anything of substance to the conversation, but does convey that 'I believe in God too', which is presumably a good thing to the electorate.
Also, let's not fully blame the addictive drugs because people seek them for recreation. Addiction is not instantaneous.

I support your point, drug addiction as a health issue, but the addicts, while deserving the help, are not all victims of the system.
This kind of online backlash activism is useless.
Almost, but same concept. It looks to be taking advantage of the temperature of space (or at least as much as you can on the ground) as it does have a cover that blocks heat transfer to/from the wind.

Its basically using a standard thermopile/seebeck module or basically a peltier module that is optimized for generating power, rather than moving heat, to generate power from the temperature difference.
I wrote a decent fraction of the code in the original Starcraft, so, yes, I can assure you the Kolmogorov complexity of Starcraft is leaps and bounds above that of multiplication :)
>Every economic output requires material inputs.

They didn't argue that it didn't and that fact doesn't prevent perpetual growth. You can do more with less.
Not only that, but they've way over-simplified their UI in other areas where they actually sell services to the point where I can't even find basic setting menus because they've been eliminated from the main page and it takes me 10+ minutes as a highly technical user to try to find a simple thing like current billing prices or invoice records. Just awful.
They actually have porn viewing history of individual North Americans and they will start publishing it.
Yeah, apologies - I was "told" about it from a co-worker, but haven't checked it out - would have been interesting to make a bigger trip at least one time.
> I’m skeptical why he never went into how free will is an illusion

> Men were considered "free" only so that they might be considered guilty – could be judged and punished: consequently, every act had to be considered as willed, and the origin of every act had to be considered as lying within the consciousness (and thus the most fundamental psychological deception was made the principle of psychology itself).

Metzen is out, Morhaime is out. Really the soul of the company has departed already. They still have some of the best talent in the industry but the products are not going to be what we used to love anymore. Makes me sad as I've supported them from Warcraft I and Diablo I until about last year (when they killed the competitive scene for HOTS with very little warning).
Isn't it natural to ask for who is going to do whatever you just proposed be done?
I think the point was that older generations tend to vote, so millenials will vote and assume power in 20 years.
The customer was involved from the very beginning. Everything we do at Vy is done in close collaboration with the customer.

Our experience is that previous Elm experience isn't necessary, as the language is very easy to learn, and people get productive very quickly.
I've always accepted their walled-garden philosophy as a security measure, but you know, I'm realizing that it doesn't have to be either-or. They can continue to hold App Store listings to high standards of security and quality, and I'll continue to use it when that's what I want, while allowing people the option of side-loading at their own risk. Most of the problems with malicious apps on Android don't happen because of side-loading, they happen because of Google's terrible moderation of the Play store.
The physical island is a huge geopolitical asset or security risk. See island chain strategy. Also look up elevation map of Taiwan + Taiwan straight. Chinese coast is very shallow and hard to hide Chinese subs, whereas east Taiwan drops straight into deep water which enables China to hide subs which is important in controlling regional waters against US Navy. Regardless, the Chinese military planning certainly doesn't pretend the land isn't there. The government (from both sides) just doesn't recognize each others sovereignty.
I visit HN because it provides more or less serious and intellectually-stimulating conversation with a diverse group of people that have diverse (and sometimes opposing) viewpoints. It's not that funny stuff isn't amusing, it's that it's counter to what HN might be trying to achieve.
They aren't solely expressing opinions though. They are backing it up with action. You may doubt their sincerity but that alone qualifies it as more than virtue signalling.
> the actual reaction of Chinese people on Weibo and other Chinese social media

Why do you think those people react that way? Nobody is born with an opinion. What politics they were exposed to growing up? What did the schools teach them? What behaviour did the government punish, what did it allow? Which information sources where they given access to? Are the "actual Chinese people" who disagree with the party allowed to share their thoughts on Weibo without fear?
Margins for many of the oil, coal, and gas companies are already negative. The world subsidies those industries to the tune of $5 trillion a year. US subsidies it's fossil fuel industry to about $600 billion a year. In other words, energy is already cheap and GDP is still increasing.
Indeed! I enjoy many of the episodes. But the first time I had these thought was after reading Charles Stross' Accelerando. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerando

There's a character in there that has his "brain drive" stolen and he's disabled by not being able to access all that memory.

That part of the story got me thinking about how that data would be securely stored.

And then more recently in "Fall; or Dodge in Hell" there is a brief discussion about the uploaded peeoples data being encrypted in such a way that only they would know their own "thoughts", while those on the outside could observer via metadata, the goings on in the digital rhelm.
Recognizing HK as independent would be a huge step, and one even the UK didn't take.
This is actually what I was thinking, but I live in opioid infested flyover country, so my mind always goes there.

Not many people out here buying new cars, or washers and dryers, or even homes right now. And then in the other world I live in, tech, people not only do all that, but they also fly to Greek Islands for vacations. It's really kind of bi-polar right now. At least around here it is.
Thanks for your hard work on the best piece of software I use daily
I've always thought as this more in terms of strategies and tactics. Theory of Constraints talks about this. The Strategy is what you want to be true, and the Tactic is how you do it. Strategies are best communicated as SMART goals, which is compatible with the OKR part. As far as managing, if I'm a manager, I give my subordinate a strategy, and trust them to come up with a tactic that is sufficient to make the strategy true (and I'll be a resource for them and work to keep them unblocked).

If a tactic isn't actionable, then it might have several substrategies. This can map well to an org structure.
