This wasn't really a case of buying the hardware with the intention of installing another OS on it, though. The author had the QNAP for 4 years, running their OS on it, and decided to install FreeNAS when rebuilding.

That said, I'm surprised that they explicitly support installing Linux -- the post links a QNAP wiki page that explicitly uses the phrase "supported hardware" when describing which machines their guide to installing Debian works for. The case itself is pretty high quality for the purpose (no surprise), but I don't think I'd buy one just to wipe the custom OS and install my own on it. If it were me, I'd probably hop on over to r/DataHoarder, search there, and maybe make a "recommend me a case" post if I didn't find anything interesting.

I'd really love to do a NAS project with a Raspberry Pi, but the lack of SATA support really does it in as a base for a NAS system, IMO. If you're just going to connect everything over USB anyway, what's even the point of the Pi? Just buy one of those dumb external enclosures that holds 4+ drives.
> The "American people" are not equally represented, and GOP voters are overrepresented by design in the parts of the federal government that the GOP controls.

Your point seems to be that some hypothetical alternative government would give Democrats more power, so the GOP, which controls the real government, is obstructing the will of the people... as it would be represented in that hypothetical system? This is an equally bizarre point. If Dems want to pass their agenda, the should concentrate on running candidates that can win according to the rules that they're stuck with. Or even changing the rules via Constitutional Amendment. Bellyaching about the rules is just sour grapes.

>This was a somewhat-naive experiment in vote distribution that has been hopelessly gamed by the GOP and needs to be put to rest.

I'm not sure that you understand the narrow margin by which the United States came into existence. Without these 'somewhat naive' mechanisms, small states would not have joined the Union and there would be no United States.
And yet ebay stock is at a near all time high, with this kind of corporate culture in place? We really live in bizarre times.

5 Ways Education Industry Can Support #BlackLivesMatter
The hate is that it’s a hugely risky investment that Hertz is knowingly marketing to unsophisticated investors who don’t understand the offering enough to fully appreciate the risk and who aren’t in a financial position to absorb this kind of risk even if they do appreciate it.

It’s a money grab. The second the stock is issued it’s basically worthless and Hertz knows it. But when these investors are inevitably screwed over they’ll basically have no recourse against Hertz so why not?
I feel like Minix is underappreciated. I'm reading Tannenbaum's Modern Operating Systems at the moment and he makes a persuasive appeal for some of its unique takes of the *nix OS family.
To be clear, I'm not saying one shouldn't prepare for these interviews and that there aren't very clear things that interviewers are evaluating on. There is an optimal solution and you should prepare for it.

What I'm saying is that your mindset is another differentiator. If you go in with the mindset that the interview is a waste of time and that your interviewer is trying to trip you up, you've walked into an interview with a toxic mindset. I'd be willing to guarantee no one anywhere wants to hire someone with a toxic mindset.

>Black Americans are more likely to be killed by a police officer than a criminal.

According to what data?

In 2017, 223 black people were shot/killed by police in the US[1], while 2,627 black people were murdered by black people in the US.

How is "ICE is running concentration camps" hyperbole if all parts of the sentence are literally true?

Political labels are almost meaningless; always judge politics by actions, not words. The Democrat Party today is as far from Andrew Jackson (it's first President) than North Korea (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) is from being a democracy, or a republic.
Well, there's the people putting people in camps, the people tattooing numbers on those folks' arms, and the people developing the software and hardware to keep track of those people.

Now this isn't quite the IBM nazi connection - but the government snatching up people, then paying private corporations to intern them, in turn apparently using them for forced labour... Is pretty bad.

The claim was that "Frankly... among my generation of roughly 30 year olds, I'd expect Avatar the Last Airbender to have higher cultural impact than 1984 (which was written in 1949)." - if you and I would have been early 20's, that would have made that cohort late teens, so I still find the demographics weird.
I did a reshape, in phase 1 from 4-drive RAID5 to 5-drive RAID6 and then, in phase 2, from 5-drive RAID6 to 8-drive RAID6. Everything with Synology NAS, with typical Synology setup (mdraid, btrfs on top).

The new 4 drives were the infamous 6TB EFAX. The phase 1 took 12 days, the phase 2 took 3 days. So my personal experience is radically different than Ars Technica's.

I'm considering a similar opportunity. The implementation role I've been offered will be crucial in securing longer-term contracts for my employer. I'm curious what variable-compensation structures others have seen for this sort of position. Is it reasonable to expect a percentage of successfully secured longterm contracts, or something based on retention? Aside from an equity package, how can someone in this position be incentivized in a way commensurate with their value?

Get the point you are making, but it was more that Linux was a 2nd class citizen for Adobe than flash was a 2nd class citizen on linux (though people would have still wanted a free/libre alternative even if Adobe fully supported linux)

Appeal of authority is a logical fallacy, even if an expert is use to argue.
That alone doesn't mean that the expert is wrong, nor does invalidate the argument, as not all the arguments need to be strictly logical (logic <> truth).
Qualified Immunity is a protection against civil liability. This does not generally involve District Attorneys, whose job is to prosecute criminal cases.

The lack of criminal prosecutions is more of an indication that District Attorneys aren't doing their job (or that the reality of their job is that they are disincentivized from prosecuting criminal cops).
>highly unfortunate mistake

A bit like what happened to the WTC in 2001. I mean, what were they doing, navigating those buildings into the path of a couple of innocent planes, eh?
Interesting.

I have a TVS-471 that I run the default QNAP OS on. That said, I only use it for typical NAS workloads like:

- serving media
- file storage
- device backup
- off-site backup

I recently started using the Hybrid Backup Station app and have been pretty impressed. I’ve got three jobs - Multimedia, Photos, and Archive backup. They all go to BackBlaze B2 on slightly different schedules.

Been really pleased with it. That said, I do find the UI a little clunky so I can see why the author chose an alternative for their use case.

I’ve got a cheap $150 NUC I use for more typical *nix server stuff that sits next to the NAS. It mostly runs an unbound DNS Forwarder for now but I plan to expand its usage further.

I wouldn't include/exclude anything related... I did some graduate work in a somatic psychotherapy program for students intending to go into clinical settings, or therapy practices.

That said, the friendliest way to get started in reading about this field would be Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky.

There's also a significant body of work related to somatics and those suffering from PTSD. "Somatic psychotherapy" is a way of healing the mind through the body -- we live in embodied experiences, and working with the body is a great way of unlocking the way we live with our thoughts, feelings, responses, reactions, experiences, etc. If you wanted to "do the work" and dive into what you think (and why), the body shouldn't be ignored.

A number of them support the unit being placed about 6in. from the wall. When you include the depth of the unit, that may be placing the mirror closer to 2ft. away, but that is still pretty darn close.
Then I suppose the best they can hope for are hardware packet checksums, tcp checksums, in some cases TLS will also flag corruption in transit, then it's on them to have a sane storage layer underneath.

But for the specific scenario cited of historical archivists and preservation, I think it's reasonable to say "run zfs or a similar solution and closely monitor/replace the disks over time". That sounds more likely to work than building resilience into the equivalent of .zip and hoping those tools will recover such an error.
Mars: Green glow detected on the Red Planet
commending this post for some of the biggest callouts in the "Implementation consultant" role - notes, notes,m and more notes, diagrams whenever possible and sending them out after meetings. The general rule of that world is "silence means acceptance" - so if you send out notes and a diagram detailing how to proceed and nobody responds you are free to proceed in that direction. The only issue is the C-levels who wont read any notes, gather any data, and come in with preconceived notions of how things should proceed - all you can do is get on their good side and convince them your idea was their idea

The Ice Cube experiment has done that exact thing. Here's the most recent publication from them on that subject, https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.08488. Here's a slight older but perhaps more digestible result from them https://icecube.wisc.edu/news/view/449
No. I've considered it but it would not make for a fun time if the crazies bid Hertz up significantly.
"should be" or "is"? Serious question. It's a while since I tried last and results were less than encouraging. But maybe it improved. (And then 20$/month is cheap for professional usage, but notable for fun or student projects)
Yeah, I tend to agree. This kind of deal with extreme and ridiculous risk is exactly what accredited investor rules are supposed to mitigate - but because Hertz is a public company they don't apply.
On this particular page, it’s been split up into two stylesheets: the base part, and a theme; and JavaScript is required to load the theme, without which it looks awful. It would be nice for that to be fixed.

My usual complaint about these things is hijacking of existing semantic elements for presentation purposes. AbsoluteDestiny has dealt with that, so I’ll lay off this time. Beyond that: you have followed one of the routes I usually suggest, which is using your own elements (e.g. <vstack>). Good! I approve! Just one thing: if you want your markup to be valid HTML, put a hyphen in your element names so that they’re proper autonomous custom elements rather than just unknown elements that could theoretically be assigned meaning in the future. <v-stack>, <r-vstack>, <ridge-vstack>, something like that.

Other matters of HTML validity, mostly pretty harmless and about the markup shown on the sample page:

• You have some stray end tags: </img>, </input>. These are empty elements, so they don’t have end tags (that is, it’s actively wrong to write them, though in practice it’s completely harmless).

• You’re not allowed to put buttons inside links, though it will probably work almost properly in all browsers. The notable interactivity problem is that the link and the button are both focusable, so it messes up keyboard navigation a little. (A related case is links inside links, which is actively forbidden in the parser, and not handled by browsers. My vague recollection is that Firefox was the only one that did what a sane person would expect in the past, and no one else wanted to implement it, so they ripped the functionality out of spec and browser, to the regret of some.)

• tab-index="1" looks like you may have meant tabindex="1", though I suspect you don’t want either.

• The radio button label for attribute is wrong. Should be something like this (or you could just drop the `for` attribute, though allegedly some few accessibility tools are stupid and wrong and make a mess of things if you omit it, even though that’s perfectly valid and has been forever):

<label for="radio1">
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="true" id="radio1">

I'd thank you for not making HN a worse place by bikeshedding. You may not care about this project, but some people here do.
I'd bet a paycheck that the CEO was involved. No other way that a group of senior execs could all get on board with what was obviously a moronic idea with a staggeringly bad personal risk/reward ratio. The way this happens is that people who are used to treating CEOs like religious prophets hear an offhand comment from the CEO and go way too fucking far with it.
> Kavanaugh makes a very similar argument, even citing the same attempts to amend, and I'm not sure why he didn't join.

I see a key element in Kavanaugh's dissent that is not present in Alito's: the emphasis on how Congress and the Executive Branch (not to mention the Court itself in prior decisions) have consistently, over decades, treated discrimination because of sex and discrimination because of sexual orientation as two separate and legally distinct types of discrimination. I actually find this a better ground for dissent from the majority opinion than Alito's arguments.

So THAT's why the ETA given is always too short!

It's a shame that Google is actually normalizing assholiness.

Between that and the EU ruling that forced them to implement the somewhat-silly browser-choice system, it was a "hostile environment" where the political message was fairly clear. Combined with a situation where IE was effectively dominant, it sapped any appetite to take it forward or take risks with it.

There was no browser choice in the US and I believe it lost its lead here first.

I could never learn to play golf even average, and eventually I concluded that it was an emotional block for me. My hcp was about 24. I was emotionally not happy when playing, had negative thoughts about things outside of golf while playing. My body did not want to be there. Eventually I concluded that I will never get any good if my emotions are not collaborating. I abandoned it and that was a wise thing to do.

This is a different issue, I think. Mens rea is about intent or "malice aforethought", but that doesn't mean you know what you're doing is illegal, it just means you are acting intentionally and not by mistake. See the different levels of mens rea in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_rea#Model_Penal_Code

It's about understanding the consequences of your actions, nothing to do with knowledge of the law.

Currently, if an officer violates your rights on purpose, but there's no "precisely factually on-point caselaw" deciding what they did is unconstitutional, then they're immune from prosecution. They had mens rea, but it doesn't matter.

I'm not really an authority on expert implementations consulting, but off the top of my head:

>tools

A notebook. An excel/sheets spreadsheet. An open mind. People skills. A sense of humor.

>processes

Regular check-ins with stakeholders. Actually having a well-structured, end-to-end implementation plan at some point for any given client. Being willing to dramatically shift said plan on a dime in order to keep everyone happy and maintain the business relationship.

You can also work for a few years and then get a job at whatever client company you liked working with the most, pretty easily. I've seen that happen a lot.
> The modern web bloat has just been due to huge amounts of JavaScript becoming common - if you compared basic video playback it was normally at least a factor of two worse playing the same video in Flash

Well, sure, for simple video playback html5 is clearly superior. What I find more interesting though were flash's "interactive" capabilities—if you wanted to make an app that ran in the browser, it used to be you'd almost always use Flash. Now you just use tons of Javascript instead, and I think if anything that was a performance regression.

It was terrible on mobile and I also avoided it, but it seems naive to not consider that Apple were being protective of their new platform and didn't want any alternative application runtimes to take hold.

Remember that the entire reason Adobe bought Macromedia/Flash in the first place (besides sheer market dominance) was to provide themselves a technical path forward from most of their products' classic Mac OS roots into the 64-bit/mobile era we're currently in. It's very obvious when you go back and see that the first version of Photoshop with a Flash-based UI and the first (Windows) 64-bit version of Photoshop were both CS4. Compare that to Photoshop CS3 where you don't have to dig very deeply into the Windows version's files before you start hitting the layers of what are obviously classic-Mac-style Resources.
