Again you are conflating jati and varna and no they are not trivial semantic nuances. These divisions persisted everywhere in far more rigid fashion - Western Europe, Japan, Russia, Korea......

Look for my earlier comment in this thread. When the British codified jati+varna into Caste they acknowledge that there was mobility at the bottom though not at the top. The Census of Indian in the 90s acknowledged the same thing. This is not and never has been as rigid as you think.
For what it's worth, reddit's RSS feeds are pretty broken in my experience. It's highly likely they had to write some custom code for that as well.
Uh, sorry to hear about the migration - it's understandable given the (over-)simplicity of Trello, but Jira seems like a jump to another end of the spectrum. We migrated away from Jira (Cloud) to Quire which has been amazing. The poor UX and performance were just making it a choire to keep the boards updated...There was famously a reply in a thread (on their forum) about performance issues in which team member replied that they don't understand what the complaints are about as most of their response times are "3 seconds or less" :)

Generally agree, but I think the bigger risk is the stray DNA floating around the lab, the medical office where the sample was collected, etc.

Any walk-in clinic is almost certainly going to have a cross-contamination risk, for example.

Not all companies have backups, but it's not possible to check this at scale. You can't verify everyone's software environment and verify that the DR plans actually work. Also some cases don't care about data loss - there are areas where you can repave everything and ignore the incident happened.

Where it's actually required, we already have checks like PCI-DSS, data retention laws, government policies, etc. and you'll be audited. But again - this is very selective to make it realistic. Can you imagine there's a government entity which can come to your independent company at any point and say "show us your recent backups, how you restore it, and validate it's complete"? There's no way anyone would agree to this, or fund it.

What we know is that backups are the lowest barrier and if you don't have them for data you're prepared to pay for, you are pretty much sponsoring the ransomware business.

Synopsys | (Senior) Software Engineer, Static Analysis | San Francisco, CA or Ottawa, ON | Full-time | ONSITE (..eventually...)

The Static Analysis team is looking for an exceptional C/C++ developer to join the Coverity team. The job involves the creation of new code checks, evolving Coverity's state-of-the-art analysis infrastructure, optimizing multi-process and system code, and generally pushing the envelope of static analysis. The perfect candidate will have a strong passion for improving software quality and security-- perhaps some background in programming languages, compilers, or static analysis-- and foremost a strong desire to learn.

This position is ideal if you: * Enjoy abstract reasoning about software systems. * Want to help find critical security vulnerabilities before they go live. * Have a desire to deconstruct the latest programming languages and frameworks, to help find patterns of vulnerabilities.

You will work in our China Basin office in San Francisco, with easy access to Muni and Caltrain. This is a chance to dive deep into some challenging engineering problems, with the backing of a solid company and top-notch team of coworkers.

Hardware acceleration, as you mentioned, will never be as efficient.

Besides, do you really want to download and parse a codec for every page?
You just need "distance" in the k means to be more general than just using the euclidean distance between coordinates, you need a norm appropriate for the space you are working in. Haversine distance should be fine for this application.
In Toronto you can get some amazing developers for half the price of the U.S. A lot of the really good workers despise the U.S. so much, especially right now because of Trump, that you can steal all the rock stars for your startup by offering smart perks.

Also right now we can bring in foreign workers to staff up operations really easily so this is probably a good idea.

Your customer service probably will have to be out of the U.S. or somewhere outside of Toronto, maybe Saskatchewan.

> Yet another angle [...] oxygen [...] wasn’t always available

Yes! For example, flammability scales with oxygen concentration, so at peak, wildfires could be continent-scale. And oxygen as toxic bio waste, which our own cells still struggle to handle safely, ties a bunch of stories together.

> Big History as one effort to weave lessons into a coherent tapestry

Just looking at its solar system intro[1], sigh. Creating content that is correct, accessible, and insightful, is hard. Really hard. And since it's not incentivized, it rarely happens. Introductions to the solar system are often so misleading, engendering so many misconceptions you would need to fight with later if you actually cared, that viewing them is arguably net-negative learning.

Coherence regrettably requires correctness. Else instead of a tapestry of understanding, one has a tangled mess of misconceptions. Having tapestry, connections, helps prune misconceptions, by making it easier to see that something isn't fitting. And by making it easier to explore and thereby spot them. But tapestry also seems more vulnerable to misconceptions. Mangle a bit of tangle and you still have tangle, but not so with tapestry. And misconceptions are pervasive in science education. So it seems both broader scope and better quality are needed. A daunting challenge.

> Now we have multiple free, high-quality sources of information that are far easier to access than libraries ever were, for example, Wikipedia or the many sites where people share their literary works for free.

You are vastly understating the problems of bitrot, linkrot, and the amount of quality information available at your local library, and are massively overstating the amount of quality information available on the internet. (And much of that quality information is gated behind proprietary walled gardens, or is monetized through adware and spyware.)

Not to mention the modern trend of burying five bits of useful information in an 8 minute video, the first two minutes of which are pointless small talk and requests to like/subscribe/follow, and the other six are an unsearchable morass that takes way too long to get to the point.

The internet does two things better - searchability, and multimedia. The rest is a hot mess of largely superficial depth, and dubious quality.
One of the problems is that you will face a shortage of material in a few years. As long as the producers will understand that they are paying for what they are giving for free. They will start to sold you the cuttings instead or burn them.

I would try to assure the source of production before investing much more on the project. Maybe you could grow your own cuttings?

Or... If you can grow cuttings, you could also just grow a plant and prune it carefully. A plant will produce fruits each year, more big and with more sugars because the plant has more capital to invest in fruits than cuttins. My bet would be than cuttings will most probably produce a worse fruit.

Third footnote. In fruit producer's world, some varieties, often the best modern varieties, are copyrighted and this is serious stuff. Older varieties aren't, but the other, you can bet it.

Assure that you are not using cuttings of those (or talking about them in your web), unless you want a phone call from the owner of the copyright asking for their money in royalties

Someone speculated that since this is a RAM failure, the storage in question might kept crawling with reduced RAM and full workload so failover didn’t kick in(either failed from high load, or didn’t trigger from the fact that faulty RAM is successfully isolated). Sounds plausible.

> Might as well just use React state and save the overhead.
Unless you mean conceptual overhead (i.e another library), it should be less overhead with mobx because there's no need to re-create objects on every re-render, and further re-renders in general are less common (since mobx precisely controls renders for you). Also localStore's need not be short lived by definition, just local. I have a notes app where the main components localStore stays mounted for (literally) days :)
The "view profile as another user" feature was infamous for being... really thorough. At one point you would receive chat messages directed to the person you were viewing the profile as (I believe this was before the integration of chat and messages).

The problems are of course related.
I was paying $70-80 to fill my tank of gas in CA, and now am paying $35 in SC. I took my son for sushi the other night, and we feasted and I had two glasses of wine, and the bill was $50 instead of at least $100 in LA, so yea, everything is way cheaper when you aren't paying to live in the "dream" world of LA.
I was wondering the same today. I only recently discovered Hacker News, and have been wondering since what other awesome resources are out there.
> here’s the paper, which is published in Nature, that famous scientific tabloid.

One annoyance I've had with this whole discussion are all of the people saying it was published in Nature. This article even makes that mistake which I think is pretty egregious given that it looks like an academic website and the authors should know better.

The article was not published in Nature. It was published in Nature Communication. This may sound like a nitpick to an outsider but is a world of difference. Nature's impact factor is 42 versus Nature Communication's which is 12 and is wildly less selective than Nature proper. They are two completely different journals and the only similarity is ownership and a word in their name.

Edit: I just saw all of the comments on the article itself noting this. Glad I'm not the only one.
>Oh yes, all companies have backups. I think you didn't understand the point.

I assume you're using sarcasm in the first part there, but that in turn it's you who aren't getting the point. All companies may not have backups, but all companies could have backups. And the industry as a whole could be taking far more measures to mitigate ransomware, it's not some impossible problem. As well as prevention measures, ransomware is quite detectable actively because it necessarily changes the entropy of stored data in extremely obvious ways that a watchdog could detect. Or there could just be automated systems that constantly sample backups and verify they're restorable. If companies don't do that and choose to externalize some of the costs onto society (by funding criminals who will go on to hurt others in this case) it's completely appropriate for government to step in and stop them. There are lots of situations where people and organizations are expected to exercise reasonable diligence or face the consequences.

In contrast, at least for now backing up humans is not in fact an option. People aren't being lazy or failing to make reasonable efforts by failing to back themselves or their dependents up because that just doesn't exist. It's not the "same logic" at all, and how you made the mental leap of equating perfectly reproducible digital data with children is a real question.

It is the same idea, we actually considered it at first.
There are some differences in the implementation though and we built enroot with the idea of being more extensible.
We also have a plugin for SLURM (https://github.com/NVIDIA/pyxis)
Not really a programmer but was in a similar stream. I trade stocks/options now.

I worked really well with excel sheets (macros) and was able to calculate an edge from watching data which was available to me. Maybe your work has a problem you can solve and it would work for other companies.

I had to get the same data at that time, now it's easily accessible, and enough capital to implement the strategy full time.

I had to learn to program a different language which created the active income stream.

Ask yourself what do you like doing? Then work on it in your spare time. What's fun for you? For me, I wanted to make money without working hard. I also love money.
I think those are good points. I don't know much about comedy or entertainment but I get the same feeling that getting "chosen" matters more than your content.

On the other hand, great work doesn't happen by accident.
Great businesses are a result of good management. Good products are results of good design.
Those don't happen by accident, just like a great program doesn't write itself.
You may not be a warren buffet, due to limited opportunities. But, you could leave someone like that penniless and nameless and i'm sure he could leverage his skills and knowledge to be "successful", even if not a mega-billionaire.

Marketing and sales is an important component which is left out (if you care about making money). That's also something you can deliberately work on and improve.

To flower more when the tree feels that is in troubles is a standard "panic" reaction. Common in many plants.

And also because this cuttings were probably removed from flowering areas. To reduce the number of flowers or remove a percentage of small fruits is a common technique to obtain good size in fruits.
In-person conversations suffer a marginal decrease in attention. Remote communication improves by several orders of magnitude.

#2 sounded intriguing, but it seems likely to not be the case [0].

I find the Apple Watch MOST useful in bed. We don't have a clock in the bedroom (like to keep it pitch black), so it's nice to know what time it is.

My wife is a super light sleeper, and I get up first, and the watch gives me a perfectly silent alarm.

I have 4 kids, and the watch makes the perfect flashlight for when you have to get up at 3am and check on someone. It's nice and dim, instantly available, and you still have two free hands (although they messed this up a bit with the sleep mode in the most recent version).

My understanding -

Grindr doesn't store your chat history, so logging in on a new device won't show your old chat messages. Phew.

Grindr is particularly bad at security. It was fairly easy to triangulate users locations until fairly recently and some users were being harassed, and grindr ignored their reports for a long time.

It was also fairly easy to use fake locations until fairly recently which was also causing problems for non-users.

Grindr regularly shuts down accounts with no process. It's very easy to lose your contacts.

Grindr lies about what information they retain. They claim to hold very little information, which they provide when your account is shut down. However they must retain a list of your blocks and favorites in order to function. They lie and say they don't retain this info.

Because of the nature of their service, they should be on top of all this stuff, but they are really bad at it.
> For at least one instant, in the hypothetical we had $1,000,000 in ill-gotten gains.

Highly debatable. What does it mean to "have" $1,000,000? Is there even such a thing as instantaneous net worth? Being a millionaire for a brief instant with no ability to use the money seems a lot like having $0.

Regardless, this just demonstrates that the bank robbery analogy is flawed. It's not illegal for the president to access the classified national security information. How he uses that information is where the crime may have occurred.

So perhaps a better analogy is armored car drivers transporting the money. They're allowed to possess the money. They're not allowed to do whatever they want with it, like, say, lend it out for profit.
It's funny, but I bought a dell monitor and I downloaded the manuals.

One of them was an unexpected white paper, which contained
this statement:

Statement of Volatility – Dell U3219Q Monitor

The purpose of this document is to certify that the Dell
U3219Q monitor will not save, retain, or reproduce a signal
to any internal or external component after power has been
removed and reapplied to the unit.

The Dell U3219Q monitor contains both volatile and
non-volatile (NV) memory ICs. Volatile memory(s) lose their
data immediately upon removal of power. Non-volatile memory
ICs continue to retain their data even after the power has
been removed. However, no input video data is written into
these memory ICs during operation.

List below contains volatile and non volatile memory ICs
used in the Dell U3219Q monitor."

Then it had a table for each storage chip within the monitor
with its purpose and characteristics including:

- system eeprom
- hdmi edid eeprom
- system flash rom
- usb hub eeprom
- pd controller flash rom
Agreed, and brings back fond memories. Elephant Butte and Ruidoso were some of my most memorable camping trips as a young adult. The first time I drove solo for more than an hour was out of Alamogordo to visit a friend in Albuquerque; I never did forget how dramatic the scene transitioned entering the Valley of Fires close to sunset. A few years ago while accompanying my kid sibling to Palo Alto for freshman preview, we detour road tripped into Carlsbad to hike the caverns. The experience flying into SFO a few days later still serves as a reminder of how much I dislike city life.
Publishers and copyright is also the reason why most books are not digitized. After all Google tried to do so, and was restricted by the copyright holders and publishers. The whole system is broken. Probably it should took a model from pharmaceutical business - hold copyright for a couple decades, then it's expired.
I would say products where the product price is high, the social status of using the product is high, and the profit margin of the product is high. You could add some other details, but I generally think of those things when I use that term. With that said, it's true the term is a bit overused for a company like Apple. But regardless of the labeling, I think customers of Apple fitness devices will, on average, be happier than customers of Google fitness devices for the aforementioned reason.
They lie and say they don't* retain this info.
