I've always loved this article, which mentions Houston, and discusses that it's one of many ways to add enough supply: https://www.sightline.org/2017/09/21/yes-you-can-build-your-...
There is always extra work that needs to be done.

If you are looking longer term, avoiding burnout and employee satisfaction will be a net positive. If you are looking short-term (12 months at most, but 3 months is more of a burnout limit), you may benefit from overworking people.
Large organizations (and many small ones) just don't do it if there's any way to avoid it. They're rich targets for lawsuits, of course, but more importantly, it has widespread effects on morale. Fire one guy, and ten start thinking that their jobs are nowhere near as reliable as they had thought.
I guess it's different in the US versus outside. Banks in the EU work relatively well.

Recent progress includes much improved and cheaper SEPA payments thanks to EU legislation, and transparent "the customer owns his data" EU legislation pushing financial innovation.
If it was measured as part of GDP our priorities might be different (better).

I remember Corvus quite well. (I've been doing this job for a _loooong_ time.)
The blame lies somewhere between Safari and Chrome. The "None" value was added after the Safari implementation, and then Chrome wants to do the default-changing this year now. Unfortunately it looks like the fix isn't going to get backported to iOS 12, so here we are :-(
It's obvious how much thought you've put into your first powerful question with each guest, and at least this listener greatly appreciates your tone and the philosophical elements of your podcast. Please keep it up. You've got one of the most interesting podcasts going right now; right up there with Pivot, Rogan and The Daily.
I would like to try that approach but I just don't have the energy after working all day to come home and start investing time chasing wildly creative projects.
It may still be affected, the system may accept a bad ECC cert and override the RSA cert.
I've been on Packet for over 14 months and haven't experienced any downtime, ever.
Didn't even know it had been renamed. Now I really feel old...
So Win7 isn't affected? At this point in time I have to point out a fully patched Win7, having ~8 hours of support life left, just happens to be more secure than Win10 for trusting certs.
Generally (especially as companies grow) it's all about liability protection. Companies don't want to get sued, and they don't want to lose if they do get sued. That means paper trails, and attempts at showing a history of objective criteria leading to the decision, etc. This often looks like performance improvement plans and so forth, and so it can be pretty easy for someone to do just enough to not get fired but still be a quite low performer (especially with inexperienced managers).

This is flipped on its head for things like abuse where the company could be liable for not responding to reports in a timely manner. Cross a line behavior-wise, and you can get fired quickly.

Note how as far as this horrible woman is concerned, supporting men's rights is a good enough reason to be kicked off a service. Like many feminists she quite clearly believes men shouldn't have rights. What a loathsome individual.
Maybe. I can absolutely the protocol still living ... but perhaps the core code has been rewritten ... and even if it took 30 years and painful Python3 like evolution ... all clients running the version of core rewritten in "Rust '32" or something.
Europe developed its own systems that are almost completely different to the US. (Even Mastercard and VISA networks were different, and there’s effectively two versions of each network running in the world at the moment).

They’re still old and have plenty of issues, just different to the US.
>RPi4 is plenty fast for full gigabit VPN performance.

Even if it could do a theoretical gigabit...you'd still be sharing that up & down.

I suspect you could get a good 700ish with a USB 3 gigabit dongle though. I ran a rpi4 as router/fw that way for a couple months (250 internet so never found out where the limits are)
I already have my https://yacy.net.
GCP will literally shut off your servers, with email support only, and f*ck you. Happened to me right after I'd done a multi-million job for Nike the weekend before. No recourse, nothing. Just "we think this is fraud so we're shutting you down, here's a noreply email to contact us".

I wouldn't consider using GCP for anything I cared about. AWFUL customer service.
Is it possible to set it up like this: I want to use mullvad VPN, so my IP/location is obfuscated, but still to have PiHole? So something like I connect my laptop and mobile to my router -> RPi -> mullvad VPN -> internet. If it is, how can I achieve it?
Somehow it seems unlikely that what we all need is a total collapse of journalistic integrity. The smart answer to hyperbole and alarmism is distrust, if you advocate a dishonest approach then people are right to doubt your cause.
Yes but at least they aren't shooting children. I know its a low bar to set but thats what people are discussing in this thread.
How to Create Events to Help Girls Prepare for Stem Careers
There's a history of vulnerabilities like these, in some of the most important crypto libraries. For instance: until 2008, NSS, the TLS library used by Firefox, couldn't properly validate RSA signatures from e=3 RSA keys (it wasn't validating the full signature block, but rather parsing it and looking for the embedded hash). For e=3 roots, which were readily available at the time, you could simply build any signature block you wanted and then take its cube root.
So redefine experience = process? That's all I can parse out of it.
All stock pickers are traders, though not all traders are stock-pickers. Moreover, I think there's still a lot of alpha for human traders/market-makers. Even the quant power houses like Jane Street and D.E Shaw still employ human traders.
Meals and bags:

Some do, some don't based on the route.

United decided to start bringing back free small snacks.

Also they brought back free wine/beer and 2 free bags in economy. *

Well they did that on my ORD-IAH-SCL-VAL/EZE-IAH-ORD route. But they don't do it for the Euro routes. It's really difficult to determine what your final cost is, and that is intentional. If I book a flight on Emirites, it's pretty easy to know what I'm getting.. but when compariing it to another airline, who knows what's the better value.
The best coworker I ever had taught me this. Anybody can do this. This guy wasn't the person with the highest technical ability in the company, but they were the best at this one thing, and this one thing made them exponentially more successful than people with more technical skill...

Whether your boss or colleagues think you did a good job (or not) is all about expectations.
Therefore, the most important part of your success is managing other people's expectations of your work.

That's not to say your work can be shit or that you should sandbag it by setting low expectations, success is simply a matter of defining what success is and then meeting that threshold. Either way, setting those expectations is important and many people don't do it at all. Then they wonder why, regardless of what the data says, some people thought the project was successful and others think otherwise.

Listen to a few of Lex's podcasts (his own and his appearance on Joe Rogan) before you dismiss his interviewing style and/or tone. You may very well learn to appreciate it and his breadth of technical knowledge as much as the quality of his guests, which probably the highest of any technical podcast so far.
“Inequality” is a strange beast. Most mesures look at the share of the popular under a third of the median income of any given country. It is then used to compare countries between each other.

This neglects the fact that the standard of living one can achieve with a third of the median income is not the same from one country to another, often drastically.
"When the transaction closes later this quarter, Packet will continue operating as before: same team, same platform, same vision. Our commitment to our customers ..." -- The question is how long before Equinix decides to change the status quo.

I'm seeing it as yet another (after recent news on Visa's Plaid acquisition) blow to diversification and competition in the cloud and technology ecosystems. Generally, industry consolidation is IMO a scary thing ...
I'd argue that Phoenix compares quite favorably to the BA or Portland. It has an efficient transportation structure, and more importantly, interleaved levels of housing that make it relatively easy to live near (within walking distance even) to one's work, regardless of economic class. Except for the rich, that's essentially impossible in the BA, and pretty near for Portland.
Pretty funny how the entire HN rallied together to solve some github issue on someone's personal repo. I'll try posting some of my bugs here to see if it'll work for me as well.
> I completely disagree with this prediction. People have been betting against large banks for awhile with record investment in challenger banks, but both Citi and JP Morgan recorded their most profitable quarter in their entire history this morning.

Are you sure those profits are in their retail banking sectors, or in their investment and corporate banking?

that just means Office 365 has a bug in it, not that using that feature is an "email hack"

the plus syntax is part of the email address specification. any server that doesn't support it is by definition buggy because some mail won't work as expected or designed.

What did you expect? Obama was a policy wonk, preferring to craft intricate rulesets and mandates to coddle entrenched players rather than prosecute fraud directly or engage in structural reform. He tours the country now on the corporate talk circuit shouting down reasonable populist policy.

We have a choice to change that now, in the Democratic primary.
Consumer accounts is a very small fraction of the activity their provide.

Having worked at JP Morgan, I think it's exclusively B2B or very wealthy individuals (for which the support is top notch). Chase, the US consumer bank is a separate entity.

One of the challenges is that you have an existing city that isn't that. The towering skyscrapers at least are something you can implement in a relatively limited area a la classic urban renewal. (Which mostly doesn't work well.)

(But you'll find no shortage of people arguing for basically bulldozing the Mission and building a bunch of high-rises.)

The other has to be more organic but takes a lot of time and tends to generate a lot of resistance if 2-story zoning is turned into 6-story zoning.
I'm not complaining. I have a setup that works well for me. It just isn't possible on iOS.

This is really a user interface problem. Payment systems have distributed state machines, but the state isn't exposed to the customer and the parties may not be in sync. Banking is a "consistent eventually" system, with delays in days.

The customer should be able to query "what happened with this transaction" from their account and get back a graphic of what's going on. That information is useful to fraudsters, though; some states are more vulnerable than others.
literally everything. banks are making money hand over fist right now.
Hipmunk Co-Founders Spurned by SAP Concur in Attempt to Buy Back the Company
> To paraphrase, you're saying that you experience an experience, but this experience isn't real, therefore you're not experiencing it. This is a contradiction, and it doesn't make sense: Consciousness is the act of experiencing something, even if this "something" is not real. For example, experiencing a drug-induced hallucination is still a real phenomenon, even if the content of the hallucination is not real.

I'm not great with words at the best of times, but I really struggle to convey my thoughts on this subject. I probably shouldn't have used the word experience here. Try this:

I perceive something which I understand to be a conscious experience, but I don't think it's real.

I think a computer with a webcam perceives, or "experiences" something in some sense of the word. I think the only difference is that humans experience these things through a concept of a self.

> I have (soft) evidence that I have a consciousness. I cannot share this evidence with you, therefore it is not hard evidence – this is the as yet unsurmountable problem with consciousness.

I'd say you have an intuitive conception which you're claiming is evidence. And I get why you think that because I think I'm conscious too. As I type these words and look at my monitor now I too have this experience of a me, or an I, perceiving and doing something.

Perhaps what you're asking is why this experience that I'm describing exists rather than nothing? And I think the simple answer to that is that if you perceived the world as if you were unconscious then you would perceive others and yourself as morally insignificant.

Your brain kind of has to say: Hey! Look at these things you're sensing, thinking and doing! That's you. And what's more there are others like you that can also experience hurt and other emotions.

If your brain doesn't say that you might as well kill yourself because pain and happiness are just boolean variables and not really manifestable experiences. Or in my opinion, illusions.
On the topic of toy web crypto projects, here's mine: https://emojicrypt.com/

It offers scrypt + aes-gcm, encoded into 256 emoji; all the crypto is in https://github.com/aurorabbit/libemojicrypt/blob/master/prot... (I could have went without a subrepo, but in theory it makes non-web integration or alternate interfaces simple.)

It's based off of ricmoo's scrypt.js, pfrazee's base-emoji, and WebCrypto.

Output contains a header (with N/r parameters), salt, IV, and HMAC. Room for a dozen more protocol versions as well.

It's abandoned, looking for a loving home! Work for some new (and some unimplemented) features is laid out here: https://github.com/aurorabbit/emojicrypt.com/issues
Well to start, virtually any networked filesystem is better. Even CIFS won't hose your system from network blips, but there's also GFS2, HDFS, GPFS, OCFS, VMFS, Ceph, Lustre, Gluter, Lizard, Orange, Hammer2, MapR, Xtreem.

If you don't want to roll your own OSS solution (and I wouldn't recommend it) most modern SANs have all those features and more, available via a variety of interconnects and protocols (including shared volumes). Real replication, real snapshots, real encryption, real RBACs, and not going over the same interface as random network traffic. Storage manufacturers even offer custom drivers for K8s or VMware so you can control the persistent storage for your cloud apps directly from your orchestrator's control plane, or manage it in your SAN.

I'm not the author of the original comment, but a few things I've found questioning the replicability of the "growth mindset" work are here:

* Summary of a some criticism by researchers trying to replicate the original studies: https://www.buzzfeed.com/tomchivers/what-is-your-mindset?utm....

However, this BuzzFeed article has itself been critiqued for strawmanning "mindset theory" and not highlighting some of the meta-analyses that have given evidence to the theory of "growth mindset". Source: https://www.thecut.com/2017/01/mindset-theory-a-popular-idea...

* It's worth noting that Carol Dweck herself has commented on how she believes her research is being inaccurately applied in schools: https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2015/09/23/carol-dweck-re...

* Here are two (pay-walled) meta-analyses done on "growth mindset" research:
(1) https://www.scribd.com/document/326191990/InPress-BurnetteOB...
(2) https://commons.lib.jmu.edu/diss201019/17/

-----

As a footnote, I will say two quick things: first, I've found the theory of "growth vs. fixed mindset" in helping me challenge myself in areas I may otherwise not have. Second, on the other hand I have worked full-time in a high school as a CS teacher and we discussed growth mindset quite often in this school. Many students became "immune" to the idea and rolled their eyes at it to the point of making it a meme around the school.
The conversation Bill's touching on -- the tradeoffs between different notations -- is really valuable but I think it misses something a lot of us desire in a syntax: compositionality. Take the provided "onion" notation, loops, and the "new" syntax. They all look something like this:

┌────────┬────────────────────┐
│myreduce│┌─────┬────────────┐│
│ ││mymap│┌────────┬─┐││
│ ││ ││myfilter│x│││
│ ││ │└────────┴─┘││
│ │└─────┴────────────┘│
└────────┴────────────────────┘

(The math one looks more like this:)

┌────────┬────────────┐
│myreduce│┌────────┬─┐│
│ ││mymap │x││
│ ││ │ ││
│ ││myfilter│ ││
│ │└────────┴─┘│
└────────┴────────────┘

But none of them provide the same kind of "putting pieces together" feeling as this:

┌────────┬─────┬────────┬─┐
│myreduce│mymap│myfilter│x│
└────────┴─────┴────────┴─┘

which we see in the wild as this:

(myreduce ∘ mymap ∘ myfilter)(x)

or this:

x | myfilter | mymap | myreduce

or this:

myreduce mymap myfilter x

I read Practical Parallel Rendering (1st Edition: 2002) quite a long time ago, on someone's recommendation. There's quite a substantial section on how to build and manage effective job queues that's worth a read even if you don't do any CGI.

But there's also a thesis in there: given that scene descriptions grow in size much faster than screen resolution increases, there should be a tipping point where ray-tracing is more efficient than rasterization. I don't think they expected it to take quite this long though.
Reasons to use a credit union. People should be moving away from all these banks that essentially only abuse people on every level and move toward cooperative financial institutions.

Alternatively, better banks like Aspiration, which is a B Corp, but I wouldn't put all my money on that.
For ACH: you are correct, banks always accept them. But after they are told the ACH happens and determine the target account has some issue (closed / invalid / insufficient funds), then the bank will send an ACH reversal. This reversal behaves almost exactly like the original ACH (the bank that they are issuing the reversal against cannot do anything to stop it until after it has posted).
A day job doesn't have to be your side project's enemy. If you do web dev at work you get paid to do something that makes you efficient at web dev. Then you go home and work on your side project and you don't need to spend hours struggling with webpack or why str=((num || fallback) + '') works, so your side project is done more productively too.
This will lead to modding and firmware hacking as soon as it becomes profitable (and safe).
As an interesting aside, I think this is also an effect low emission zones being implemented all over the world, and in particular in Europe, are having.

It drastically reduces the ability of some people to go to travel to urban centres.
> Monzo, Starling and e.g. Tide are doing pretty well here as a result of the poor show that other banks have been putting on for years.

We're going to see a serious decline in the number of challenger banks in the UK soon. Monzo has yet to post a profit. Yep, the bank we trust with our deposits is losing money every month, and Monzo is the poster child of the challenger banking movement. How healthy do you think the other banks are?

The strength of a retail bank is on the back of the strength of it's loan book. At historically low interest rates, that doesn't make for great profit opportunities for retail banks.
> But replacing it would require hundreds or thousands of banks to agree a new standard

The Brazilian banks got their hand forced into changing their system recently, but this one feature stayed exactly the same way.

Hell, if you take enough details out, it is exactly the same as a two passes commit we use in distributed databases, where there is a single team (often a single person) defining the behavior.

Don't expect that one complexity to go away any time soon.

Encryption. But then again most everything on the web is already encrypted so I honestly can't think of anything.
Wouldn't that imply startup rates to be much higher in countries with national healthcare? But I don't think that's borne out in data.

Two-three years is actually the optimal time frame to kill an acquired company, in my view, at least for big conglomerates. You avoid excessive brain-drain at the start by declaring far and wide that it will be “business as usual”; this way any useful know-how handover can happen smoothly, and you get a chance to identify the best bits you will eventually salvage. After a couple of years, you’ve likely cannibalized what was worth, the golden-handcuffed talent has either left or was moved to more critical areas, and the rest is just a legacy shell.
