To add to the other responses, the reason why they were capturing sensitive data was most likely because instead of doing filtering and processing live while they were driving around they chose to just deal with that after the fact and process the WiFi data through whatever system they already had for post processing. Even with just recording the SSIDs and timestamps on the vehicle all of the data that was controversial would still be captured by the radio on the vehicle, it would just be discarded immediately instead of being discarded when the Google maps vehicle offloaded that data for processing. If Google wanted to do something nefarious, they could still turn it back on all in software. The only real privacy gain is that they can't retroactively do it but I doubt even originally that they kept the packet dumps around for too long after processing it.
Why ask such a leading and rhetorical question in this case? What is it supposed to foster in a discussion?
To be clear, that specific example doesn't work at all, because salaried income from a non-profit is still fully taxable.

"Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy" by Thomas Sowell. I read this as a teenager with only limited exposure to economics and it cleared up many misconceptions I held.

"Psycho-cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz. A plastic surgeon shares his techniques for achieving your goals in life. 95% if not more of self-help books today borrow (consciously or not) ideas discussed in this book, and often discuss them with much less depth.
Trying to assign strict genre labels to games is probably not the right approach here.

Many games contain aspects of 'iyashikei' games. Persona 5 is a good example. Half of the game is spent doing 'ordinary life simulation' activities - meeting friends, eating out at restaurants, going on dates, etc. This part of the game is focused on story-driven events, many of which could be classified as iyashikei (although there are certainly darker elements mixed in). The other half of the game is spent on RPG turn-based battles and puzzles.

The Shenmue series is the same. A lot of it is iyashikei - wandering around, talking to people, enjoying the sights. Along with that are battles and stressful mini-games.
The issue is that the computer screen is not a paper form. You can't just fill out forms wherever you see dotted lines/horizontal rules(hr tags). Unlike paper pages, most of the HTML pages are read only / not content editable.
I look forward to eventually seeing entire collections viewable online in this way. For a variety of reasons which don't need detailing, huge numbers of people will never ever have the opportunity to stand in front of great paintings in collections across the world. It's also true that photographs like this provide an experience not available or rarely available to those who are able to visit collections in person.
I'm saying timebox discussion like anything else. Have discussions regularly, but in a scheduled manner.

Meetings suck because people aren't prepared / the meeting isn't scoped or well defined. They don't suck "just because".

Treat your meetings just like any other assignments. Clearly define it and expect people to have their shit together. Then you don't have to have discussions all the time and you can actually execute on what's been discussed and planned.

You will have to forgive me if I don't trust Facebook to do anything but that which is good for Facebook.
Does anyone know if anything similar is possible with Windows? I am interested in the idea of signing the bootloader with your own keys to prevent other system images from being used on the system. It seems like such a system would provide much better anti-theft guarantees than existing solutions like CompuTrace/Lojack.
Oh man now I want to get Popeyes for lunch. I swear they put some sort of drug in their red beans and rice, I just can’t get enough of that with some spicy chicken!

Definitely try Popeyes if you get the chance, we’ve got them all the way up here in Kansas City, so I’m not sure how wide their range is.

I found it to be an "atmospheric" (for the lack of a better word) book -- you understand by feeling as much as by, well, direct understanding. Kind of like Master and Margarita (which some people also find pedestrian).
For me, the following are near the top:

"The Opposable Mind", by Roger Martin

"Antifragile" by Nassim Taleb

"The Conscious Universe" by Dean Radin
The Fountainhead

Or anything Vonnegut or Philip K Dick

A personal "brain expanding" book for me was The Miracle Planet but timing is everything, as an 8 year old who had only been reading children's books it taught me that you can read through anything with persistence

The Bible has a lot of mind games & plot twists. I read it as an atheist seeking better perspective on a couple thousand years ago
"The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching" by Thich Nhat Hanh

Completely changed my world view. As someone who loves science, this book shows that Buddhism is not about belief but a way to look at the world. And that view might be closer to reality than the current one.

Communicate ideas clearly, concentrate on the Nouns, not the Verbs, particular technologies, frameworks, languages are important, but not that important.

Understand the domain(s), if you don't, find out who does, talk to them, write it down, read it back, until they say you've got it.

That way, you can take new ideas and new requirements and see how they fit into the domain, how it will need to stretch or flex to accommodate them. You will be able then to explain it to both the people wanting the new thing as well as the people that have to build and deploy it.

Making things flexible is the hardest thing, you don't want things to be too flexible, it makes it too hard to keep something running. But you also don't want it too rigid, it makes it too hard to adapt.
If you're Cisco you might not run a 1:1 competitor's products, but they do use Huawei hardware, i.e. LTE equipment.

Same goes for things like mobile phone manufacturers, they are competing with Samsung, but they will still buy Samsung LCDs for their own phones.

Samsung is a SoC manufacturer, but they will happily buy a SoC from Qualcomm. Same with DRAM, they make that too, but having Micron DRAM doesn't scare them either.

And the circle back to Cisco: they happily use Broadcom switch chips in their Cisco switches.

It comes with experience. Those times you find yourself changing code more than you think you should? Analyze the decisions you made (or that a co-worker made) that got you there. Figure out what you could have done differently.

Books are great, but nothing beats lessons learned by making mistakes.
Older married worker chiming in.

I can’t imagine how bad this would have been if my wife and I had still been living in our apartment. Even then I had a separate small office and we had a treadmill in the living room.

This is in a relatively low cost of living area. So I’m definitely not bragging.

But now, it’s not too bad. I have a large separate office, we have one bedroom converted into a decently equipped gym with exercise equipment, my son has his own room, my wife converted another room that was originally her study to an ad-hoc studio so she could continue to teach her fitness classes.
Hello fellow Meneghino!

The usual advices apply here:

- you solve problems, sell yourself as that. It's okay to fill a résumé with technical skills, but also add something that tells potential clients/employers what you really do (developer is ok, experienced frontend designer/iOS developer is better) and what they can use you for. Sell your experience(s)

- if you're above junior (you are confident with at least one major technology) start charging at least 200-250 a day. Charge more if the rate is hourly. It is honest to ask at least for that. You usually will work 200-220 days/year so don't multiply your rates for 365 or you will be disappointed at the end of the year.

- remember that if you are doing contract jobs you are in charge of your taxes and retirement savings, so account for that in your rates. It's easy to dismiss a rate as "too high" until you start factoring in the expenses.

- if you find offsite jobs (you are sent to the client's office) add to your rates travel expenses and hotels/relocation if you have to move. Don't take jobs that won't accept it or will try to pay you a little more. You are payed for your job, they should cover any extra. Including lunches/dinners out. They are probably asking at least 2x to the client of what they are paying you.

- hire an accountant, they can save you thousands euros/year. It's worth the cost.

I am not good at judging colors, as most people are, but I do know an artist who is quite good at it, and who has studied colors for all his life and has complained about the poor lightning conditions in museums for a long time. Maybe I should ask him to have a look at it.
The fact that even the header parallax is janky on a laptop, not to mention a phone, doesn't instill the feeling that this is built sturdily. Looks aren't worth much if the page is laggy even with what's essentially static content. As another example, when ticking a box for the first time, there's a visible delay on state transitions. Toggling back and forth after that doesn't seem to be an issue. The crosses in badge removal look off, the corners are doubled as if there's two icons overlaid with a small position difference. The links in the site footer are practically unreadable with dark purple on a dark gray background.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to put your work down. Building a whole UI library from scratch is far from being a small feat and making it open source is definitely admirable. At the moment it feels like it could use some polish, though.
Punishment is pointless because anyone who would be deterred by punishment would also be able to avoid punishment. Right.

I played Ni no Kuni on DS and though it was beautiful it was much like any other rpg with a main focus on battles, seems strange to include it here.

There is a similar genre in Western games (mostly indie) of these sorts of types of games, filed under 'cozy'.
Yeah well. The "gig economy" proved to be an easy sell when everything was on the rise and booming. Not so nice for the individual 'giggers' when shit hits the fan.

Writing Automation Tests for Feature Flags
They probably use soundex codes as a form of error correction or fuzzy match.

Most federal govt use of ssn includes name+ssn+dob; while there are presumably many people with the same dob and closely related ssns (so typos would match something) an approximate name could reduce the number of false negatives quite a bit.
It's trivial to put a high-power electric motor into a car. It's very difficult to supply that motor with enough juice to actually sustain that kind of power output for a reasonable period of time.

For reference, 800HP is 600kW.
Another amazing book of his that I don't see mentioned a lot (perhaps because it is more technical that maybe any of his other books) is 'Fluid Concepts And Creative Analogies'.

I'm reading that one now. I recommend it, along with Perception as Analogy by Melanie Mitchell, and the aforementioned Godel, Escher, Bach to anyone interested in AI / cognitive science. I've only read a small part of Metamagical Themas to date, but I've read enough to recommend that as well. Just the stuff on self-referential sentences makes it worth reading.
Writing would be valuable to me even if nobody else ever read the documents. I find that writing helps me think through a problem much better, and in the end I have a better solution.
I found this book to be fun, but ultimately kind of silly. It reminds me a lot of Jung, which I had more patience for when I was younger.

I used to like Herman Hesse, and gradually realized the straight line from Hesse to Nazism. His distinct lack of human understanding is what bothers me at core. His female characters barely exist except as mirages in the eyes of men, and his male characters are little more than intellectualized brains. It's the type of book one likes as a teenager / young adult and realizes is BS later.
Same old argument. Yes, highly skilled devs are in high demand and do get a lot of introductions and work. But, speaking from experience, we still need to get the deal closed and negotiation is par the course.

It didn't destroy them. It turned them static and can also create a `Firefox feeds backup.opml` that can be imported by feed readers.

> That's an Americanism, right? Your milk isn't shelf-stable?

No milk, I'm fairly certain, is shelf-stable once opened; shelf-stable (until opened) milk is widely available but not as popular as milk that isn't in the US, and the “milk in the pantry” reference is implicitly in the context of having just poured from it, so it has been opened. So, while it probably doesn't reference shelf-stable milk, it wouldn't be any different if it did.
There are only two sites I donate to: wikipedia and archive.org. I honestly don't know what I'd do without them. I have been able to find web sites from 20 years ago on archive.org, it's an absolute treasure.
This is municipal code, not criminal law. Very important distinction. Like with a traffic ticket, they can fine for not complying. They cannot arrest you, however.

Where they "get" you is if you blow off the court about resolving the fine which is contempt of court, which is a criminal offense.

It blows my mind how supposedly smart people know so little about the law. It's a lot like programming. The keywords are important and the logic used as well.
Wow. Is this a public project or something you can mention? It sounds very interesting!
The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins

The book is written to convince the reader that evolution is valid.

But to me, the shocking thing was to really understand the religious argument for the first time, and understand why evolution challenges that world view.

In a nutshell, there is a web of related arguments which support the belief that God exists. One of them is that the eye is so complicated, that it must have been designed from the beginning by an intelligent being. Therefore God exists.

But Darwin showed that many small random changes plus natural selection are sufficient to explain the eye's complexity.

Why was this shocking at the time?

Just imagine you are walking around with a vague gut feeling that God must exist every time you see a beautiful bird or a flower. You figure that something intelligent must have designed that beatiful, complex living thing. You see another complex wonder of nature, and feeling gets stronger. Perhaps it becomes the main reason that you believe that God must exist.

Then one day, wham! Darwin releases his book, and it becomes clear that there is a valid scientific explanation for the complexity of that flower which does not require a supernatural designer.

Instantly your whole world view collapses. There's nothing in the science that says that God does not exist. Science only says that other explanations are sufficient. And yet, just that is enough to collapse that entire line of thinking. There are still other arguments for the existence of God. But the one you felt most strongly is gone.

Reading the book gave me a detailed understanding of that religious line of reasoning, and what it might feel like to lose it.
It gives me some understanding of why people, even today, have a desire to reject the scientific idea of evolution.

MIT’s current overhead rate is 50.5%, but that’s pretty standard.

Here’s a scatterplot showing lots of research institutions’ rates. When this was published, MIT’s rate was slightly higher (54%). https://www.nature.com/news/indirect-costs-keeping-the-light... showing actual and calculated rates.

This also applies to federal research grants and is meant to cover costs associated with actually hosting the research (rent, utilities, support staff). Foundations can (and often do) negotiate lower rates. I’m not sure how donations are handled, but I don’t think the same F&A rates apply.
The $1799 config with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD is actually a good deal IMO.

But I am a bit disappointed that it seems to have the same 58Wh battery as the 2016 models. I know the consumption side has gotten more efficient, but I'm surprised that the battery capacity hasn't improved.
> If the point of the domain name for you is marketing, then get one you think is "memorable" and use it as a CNAME. The point for me would be non-marketing uses

This is a very fair and valid point. Thank you for pointing this out.

> to get an SSL cert so I do not have to use a self-signed one when monitoring encrypted egress traffic from the local network

This sounds like you're doing proxying / TLS interception / MITM? If so, you need a signing certificate with authority to sign for any arbitrary name. No vendor provides this for free, and using your own self generated CA is the solution here.

> Best I can get for free is a subdomain of someone else's domain name.

It's unclear what you mean here, as the words you're using are somewhat overloaded, depending on context.

An arbitrary gTLD is not something you can get for free, until we have a better solution for DNS than the current approach.

Anything else is just variations on a subdomain. Heck, technically even a gTLD is a subdomain of the root domain '.', where you don't own anything there either, and are simply getting a subdomain granted to you by the roots.

When you look at it from that perspective, and you're simply looking for something that is unique for you, what's the difference between a subdomain from a dyndns provider, and a subdomain from a registry?
I'm having a hard time believing the numbers given out. So those sorts of articles won't do me much good. I'm having trouble believing almost if not all countries numbers. So this isn't specific to Vietnam disbelief.

I may be misremembering but I'm pretty sure you can backup like any postgres database with e.g. pg_dump

I think the premium distributed backup/restore thing is for backing up separate regional clusters individually

edit: looks like the premium option is a nice "BACKUP" command that handles uploading or downloading from cloud storage (e.g. s3) automatically. but for free you get "cockroach dump" which is similar to pg_dump

Since there is no limit on the ceiling, but there is a limit to the floor, things that increase economic opportunity tend to decrease equality. Things that reduce economic opportunity tend to increase equality.

See e.g. Steven Pinker:

"...the most effective ways of reducing inequality are epidemics, massive wars, violent revolutions and state collapse."

But that opportunity is rare enough, at least for some (in my time playing I've only seen two, though I did capture one so I don't need it for the museum). It is also surprising enough of an occurrence that it can cause stress. There are studies monitoring cortisol levels when a person hears their phone make a normal noise (incoming call and incoming text). Those create a noticeable spike in cortisol. While I haven't seen the same testing done for Animal Crossing, I would expect the sound indicating wasp falling out of trees does the same.

If one were to take pokemon, it would be reduced to much the same where the penalty for loss is fainting and in rare cases losing a chance to catch a rare pokemon.

Even if one were to take something like Path of Exile, any failure only costs some amount of time to restore from that failure. Some cost more (a death on hardcore can mean dozens of hours while a death on normal can be recovered in minutes). In general, I think you can reduce most game conflicts/battles down to a time cost in the case of failure, with a few games introducing horror as the main alternative cost (any game where death involves a jump scare).

If I spend 3 hours looking for a tarantula and it wins, that is a cost of 3 hours compared to many games were losing a battle cost only a minute or two.

Dark Souls style games are another interesting look into this, as the first death generally has low cost (you have to go pick up the dropped souls), but if you die a second time before you pick them up, the cost is much heavier (the souls dropped are permanently lost). I notice when playing that I am more on edge when I'm trying to recover dropped souls than when I am not.
I would guess that we could just give an external company control over a kube master and have them run their operator, which in turn will spin up all the necessary pods and stuff.
