You realize that this is pretty much what happened with conventional peak oil ?

It takes years to confirm this kind of data...

And we don't even have access to Saudi oil data, the best we can do is something like this :

Reading is good, understanding the implications is better. Standard Mandarin is newer than the period at which Canada would appear as a loanword in Chinese, so of course it is not drawn from that language. But that doesn't mean it is Cantonese either. Moreover, I wrote Mandarin (a Chinese languages with a variety of dialects), not Standard Mandarin (the language taught at school).

In particular, for the Beijing case, South Mandarin is involved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_postal_romanization#Ma....

I had my H1B visa and ready to work in USA. Resigned my job. My US employer asked me not to board the flight since the job situation was very bad. That was beginning of 2001. I tried for other jobs and got a UK work permit by mid 2001. But that also went bust very shortly due to UK dot com crash. I must have been the only person with two countries work permits and without a job. Local companies refused to hire me once they saw my passport.
They are even more limited then regular apps though...
I have been using Macs to manage my digital life (personal photos, files, videos, music, notes, documents etc) since Tiger/Leopard days and have been mostly happy with the experience. But I feel now more than ever before that my decade and half old collection is on shaky ground and at risk of being lost with any given OS upgrade. Lost because of file system or crypto or some such software deprecation/compatibility bug or because of the software apps may become unusable. (Btw iOS 13 upgrade did cause me data loss on my phone – it wouldn't unlock after upgrade because my passcode had a special character that it would no longer accept as input, post upgrade. I had to wipe reset the phone and lost data that hadn't synced yet.)

Standards based software engineering seems to be all but dead in consumer apps (it never existed?). Clearly, there is no explicit guarantee of longevity to your data and the metadata (edits, collections, albums, tags, comments) you create upon your own data.

This is a really poor way to live one's digital life.

Do you think about longevity of your data+metadata? What's your setup deal with this?
Ask HN: Deeplearning Cloud
Hi there!

I'm currently researching if there is a demand for a EU based infrastructure on demand for machine/deep learning purposes.

Current ideas are:

- Jupyter notebook as a service
- Virtual machine with dedicate GPU based on hourly billing
- Dedicated machines with one or more GPU's based on hourly billing

What I would like to know is what offerings, what kind of specs are you looking for?

I just put 1 TB in AWS/Azure/GCP's cost calculators.

AWS (US East 1, no free tier) - $92.07

Azure (East US) - $88.65

GCP (Americals) - $122.88

I'm quite surprised by GCP being the highest cost here, and by such a wide margin.
Assuming WeWork ends up being worth $5B+, it's kinda impressive that Masayoshi Son comes out of this with Softbank owning much of WeWork and the Vision Fund investors being the ones getting burned.
Recently I switched from Google search to Bing search. Bing is years behind Google, and today, that's a feature. Microsoft just hasn't bothered to do the obnoxious things Google does now. Bing doesn't have much content of its own. The better search results seem to show up before the ads. It's not flashy, but it's OK.
It just takes away my concentration and makes me look tired (which is almost the norm now) and my thinking gets clouded. Without controlling the environment to the point I remove any devices that cause me certain uncomfort, I can't have much time productively.
This also goes for chemical matters, as if I don't clean the floor, wall and clothes often, same happens.

Also I can feel better by turning off Bluetooth, so there are clear physical causes for me.

Infosys and TCS remind me of Uber and Lyft: business models based on magical thinking-rooted exploitation. Engineers need to form their own worker-owned consultancy co-ops and eschew corporations to capture more of the wealth they generate for themselves rather than as underpaid servants of said large corporations.
The primary reason is of course encapsulation. Many things you don't want to leave publically accessible. For instance if you're creating a thread safe api, you need to be mindful of references/mutexes/locks which can easily be enforced with wrappers. If you expose the underlying objects directly you could easily dead lock, corrupt memory, create race conditions, etc. It also greatly simplifies testing and guarantees/provability since you can guard against access patterns or certain inputs or states.

Personally, I have run into enough horror caused by mutating a global state that I write code which is quite strict about what it exposes.

And therein lies one of the many challenges of a system like this. It's fine as an experiment - but turning it into something usable for any serious purpose is unlikely to happen.

There are much more reliable and usable ways to implement automatically persistent systems. The way databases use transaction logs is an example.

Not Nintendo, but Valve has some very interesting playtesting commentary in Portal 2, if you play with commentary on.
> The mine was vitally important to the economy of Papua New Guinea. The PNG national government received a 20% share of profit from the mine, of which the Bougainvilleans received 5% - 1.25% share of the total profit [0]

Present day PNG has a per-capita GDP in the single-digit thousands, and that mine was a money printing machine.

Did the mine operation contribute to the conflict? Obviously yes, it was a major contributing cause. Insufficient compensation? Pull the other one, that sort profit sharing is reasonable and traditionally governments regulate if the environmental conditions aren't suitable. Besides, the environmental impact will have done them vastly less damage than them killing each other and and being dirt poor.

Francis Ona did a great deal of damage to PNG and to Beugainville, as did the PNG government's obvious mismanagement of the Beugainville region.

Yep. High CEO salary, especially in startups, is a big red flag. Typically, C-suite/founders in startups should be paid enough to live on or $0 if they're already rich.
The most common type of hearing loss is age related hearing loss. This type of hearing loss makes it difficult to hear high frequencies. The main thing a hearing aid does is compensate for this by adjusting the volume of high frequencies. But here's what you're missing - The key is to amplify at low volumes and reduce at high volumes, AKA dynamic range compression [2]. This allows people to hear better at low volumes but not blast their ears at high volumes.

FYI - The ear piercing shriek you heard was from poor feedback cancellation on the hearing aid. Hearing aids have a microphone and speaker so feedback is common and a nightmare.

Also, I'm the founder of AudioFocus (YC S19)

> Where pictures are simply in folders and any backup program will just sync them anywhere.

That's how I organize photos on Mac OS. You don't have to use the Photos app. Periodically I dump all the photos from my phone and other devices and sort them in folders by year (and sometimes sub-folders for vacations and other big events). I only use Photos to get at the pictures from my phone if I need to look at them before the dump.

At least in Belgium, software engineering at university is as much an engineering degree as is civil engineer, electrical engineer etc. You have largely the same maths, physics, ... and you get the same protected title (ir.). In fact I know some civil engineers who claim other engineering studies are harder.

But I do agree that developing software is usually more of an art than a science and a lot of software engineers just make business apps where not much of the engineering background is required.

Thanks for the detailed account. Most of the stuff you mentioned can be totally fixed with a shift of perspective. In fact, as long as you compare with your peers you will feel somewhat unhappy. I'm pretty sure lots of people at FAANGs feel like getting by in comparison to some one else who apparently is better off. There's a lot of people in the world who would kill to have your problems though.

As for more practical, you can move to a city with lower CoL, get a job at a FAANG, hire a fulltime nanny (find other couple(s), 2k/month x2 is 48k/year, shouldn't be hard) to take care of the kids at someone's place.
I'm in the same situation with Aperture. It's not only a problem because of the issue you describe with losing the product of my prior work, but it's not clear what the migration target would be. The most obvious alternative is Lightroom, but this would mean trading a tool I have been using happily for free for 7 years for a 20EUR/month subscription service I would have to maintain the rest of my digital life.

My current solution is just to keep a bootable Mojave volume around, but long term I don't know.

Around three years ago the yellow time in the Netherlands got increased with 0.5 seconds[0] based on research of driver behaviour in yellow light situations[1].

The conclusion is that overall people's behaviour wouldn't change much when there was more yellow time (in both 'stopping' and 'running' drivers). But that for a small portion of the 'running' drivers (the 'risk takers', who also just won't stop if the light has already turned red) the amount who jumped red would reduce.

In the time after that I noticed a lot more cars
that I felt where jumping the red light. But if that is due to the increase of the decision time or that the changing to red for one lane and change to green for the other lane are closer together I don't know.

You can't do that as you don't have any access until it's being rebooted. It's basically like you're standing in front of the machine so there's not really much you can do when you're just looking at a login prompt, you have to be able to stop grub from just booting with the default options and instead boot up using init=/bin/bash or maybe if the server supports iPXE you can just chain load some payload off the internet.
Yeah, the OTC (over-the-counter) hearing aid act passed in 2017 [1]. It says the FDA has to release reduced regulations for the sale of hearing aids OTC by August 2020. There will be a bunch of new players, e.g. Bose HearPhones and maybe even Apple (checkout Live Listen).

The challenge will be how to fit a hearing aid without an audiologists help. This will be especially difficult for older people.

Hopefully it will bring down the price of hearing aids substantially though.

This is a misunderstanding of what Mario Club is - QA company spun off from the old Seal of Approval. It's on the side of technical testing than design.[0]

The idea you're exploring might be more akin to the Mario Cram School[1] which involved getting staff across all of Nintendo, not just designers, creatively exploring Mario development. But straight up assuming that Nintendo's approach towards design makes it a thumbs-up dismisses notions people have that newer Nintendo games overuse tutorials to the point of infantilising the audience.

A big No to that. File loss should be expected due to disk failure, but certainly not "on the file system." That's like saying data loss should be expected in a database. If your FS loses files, get a better FS.

I've run and invested in businesses in multiple countries (Spain, Germany, US, UAE, Sri Lanka). One of them (Mobile Jazz - a fully remote company) we've moved to Estonia in 2016. One of the best business decisions we've made admin-wise. While there are for sure better alternatives when it comes to "saving on taxes" (I'd say Estonia is in the European average with 20% corporate tax and an interesting taxation model on capital distribution), it is definitely a huge improvement when it comes to dealing with authorities compared to virtually elsewhere in the world, based on what I've experienced myself of heard from others. Estonian people speak really good English. Typically things just work as they should and it something doesn't, they're super fast in responding and very eager to solve the problem for you. While I don't have visibility on everything that happens in the country, in terms of how they handle their bureaucracy, they're certainly a role model for other countries.
That's like asking "Why are people proud to be using an Apollo-era pathfinding algorithm?". If it works, it works. The only reason that fashion is so fast in the tech world is that we have not really built many things that stand the test of time. Unix, for all its flaws, is one of these things.

Also, the Apollo era has some of the most amazing engineering achievements ever. Don't know why you would need to look down on that.

I think it's about diversifying. The general rule is 3 copies of your data in different places - for me personally, I keep important data in an external drive at home, another in an external drive at my parent's house (updated less frequently for obvious reasons) and an account in the cloud with a third one.

Funnily enough, the cloud account is the one that worries me the most. The data I want to keep includes some indie movies and music that I fear might disappear from the internet (like mixtapes from very indie local groups I listened as a teenager that nobody cares about) and I fear the whole account might be suspended if at some point they set up a copyright filter or something.
