honestly i think it’s a shame that online ways to meet people are inferior than chance encounters. Chance encounters rely on luck, with online you get filters and algorithms to pair you with similar people.

Unfortunately the filters filter out good people, the algorithms are shoddy and gamed, and you genuinely don’t know if who you meet online is some weirdo who could turn out to harass or stalk you (of course there are weird people in person too, but it’s a lot harder to look and act “normal” in real life than it is on Reddit).
A network slug does not have an IP address. You cannot connect to it over the network. I'm not sure you understand what the device is and what it does.

Let me give you an example - I have a "port 22 slug" and what it does is block all traffic of all kinds except for TCP22. That's it. It does nothing else and it does it transparently without having an IP address of its own. If I wanted to reconfigure it, I would connect with a serial console.

Make sense ?
An odd thing to downvote...
Ah yeah, I figured it was for a good reason. I just thought it was funny.
I believe that a lot of animals have more emotion that we give them credit for.
I'm not sure I follow your argument. You seem to be saying that if a job can be done from home you are competing with people in cheaper countries. Therefore you should work in the office, to avoid that competition.

But if the job can be done at home, what does it matter if you do that same job in an office? Are you just hoping that being in an office is some kind of protective camouflage?
"Runs", on paper. BEAM and .NET are more of the same and not at all practical and GraalVM not what I mean by native. Also, clojurescript is not clojure.
At GitHub’s scale, you don’t just “move off” a database. At best it would be a gradual project that would take years for the company to complete, and likely trigger additional incidents along the way.
Recent editions of Thunderbird (with an added HTML editor add-on) do a quitedecent job of handling HTML copied from Firefox and pasted into an e-mail.
Article says $2000 USD in bitcoin. That's currently 31 gram in gold (62.52 USD per gram, 1944.57 USD per ounce). Actually easy to carry. Harder to sell, split etc of course.
It's an interesting idea, but it has a few drawbacks.

You can't defend yourself when you're dead. You can't be your own witness. Nor can you face your own accuser. Also, who would you trust to speak that truth for you?

Also, grieving family members are not the most rational people. Doing this could trigger violence in practice.

And obituaries have a legal function. As a modern society, we want to encourage the publication of obituaries as soon as someone passes away. It mitigates the risk of potential fraud.
For the reason you mentioned I don’t think its a step in the right direction. Carriers already know how to charge their users. Google and Apple should let the user choose their carrier as a systemwide in—app payment processor. Its a small fix, its a good user experience. Arguably even better than what exists today. And is a step in the right direction (move away from Apple and Google controlled things)

linux-gnu (GNU/Linux) is one component of the triple (x86_64, unknown, linux-gnu). The fact that the hyphen is overloaded to separate both components of the triple and words within those components is unfortunate, but it's probably too difficult to change at this point.
The difference between iOS and Android though is you absolutely can avoid the Google Play app store and install items directly (or through stores like f-droid).

I'm not a fan of either ecosystem really, but Apple is definitely worse on this one metric because there is no ability to NOT pay them.

Why not just use f droid and not be behold your the play store at all? Or just host on your own site?
I think the norm that everyone seems to slowly be settling on, of 15% for: 1) hosting the program itself, 2) displaying in the store, 3) payments and subscriptions including figuring out local taxes and CC fees and such, 4) various other services (push messages, for example), is pretty damn reasonable. 30% is clearly too high, but somewhere around 20% it actually starts to look like not-a-rip-off.
Your keycloak instance will be found and indexed via automated scans. It will then be attacked minutes after the next CVE in keycloak, Java, Tomcat, or JBoss is disclosed. If you don’t have the 24x7 security team to handle that reality a managed service is likely a better option.
I have never head this idea described in text before. However, I have made firewalls this way for decades.
They were typically for stuff that ran in a datacenter so it would be a 1U server with three NICs.

I would really like to make such devices for home or office use. What would be a good device to use for this? Unfortunately, RaspberryPIs do not come with 2 or 3 NICs.
Any recommended alternatives?

I thought at first it was "pay what you want," which I'd prefer with Spotify.

I keep getting near-free SiriusXM deals, and with the integration in my car, why not. Then I start Spotify after two weeks, and it takes five minutes to load.

They'll unlock a ton of innovation by letting developers use documented and testable payment platforms instead of the "I really hope this works in production" android (and apple) payment systems. Having to support all of these payment processors is such a pain the ass.
That almost everybody is faking it.

There are outliers of course, but by and large, your colleagues, your mentors, your leaders, your enemies (you shouldn't have very many); they're all just normal people doing their best. And their best is usually just average.
Given these constraints I might consider the area just outside the suburbs of NYC. It gets very affordable in (say) Northeastern Pennsylvania or upstate New York. If you need to find a non remote job, the big job markets of Northern New Jersey or Westchester.

What other considerations do you have though? What sort of lifestyle do you want? Country living? A town? A small city?
For me it's hunting and long range shooting. Being able to hunt, accurately shoot 1000 yards, having 1000 ammo pieces and handloading set, 150 lbs of frozen and/or dried meet (a small deer weights that much). Hunting gear is a great survival gear as well.

Besides that fireplace, solar panels, heat pump, well insulated house, something for water, maybe add some knowledge about local flora and you can survive many years on that.
I think they just rebranded.
I don't think the problem is that it is a loan. The real problem is that you can manipulate people to sign up for the ISA and then give a low cost bad quality service. If you scale this up high enough, there are going to be people whose income is going to increase above the threshold just through chance alone. If you provide some low quality MOOC that costs you very little per person then you basically get to take a share of someone's income without providing any value.

If the institution was accredited and there were inspections and punishments to keep quality above a certain threshold the model might work but right now it basically invites companies to operate like scammers.
> I'd rather 100% of the money go to the artists, personally. It is possible in many cases, but not with Spotify (or Google, Apple, etc). Middlemen want their cut, and Spotify cuts as deeply

Never ever in all these accusations do people mention The Big Four [1]. It's always Apple to blame. And Spotify. And Deezer. And Pandora. And...

Even though music distributors control all f the market, collect all the royalties, and pay artists peanuts. Does Spotify pay artists directly? No, it can't do that. It pays the license holders which are, in 99% of the cases [1]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_industry#Consolidation

Edit: it's worse now, it's Big Three. They control 88.5% of the market, but by popularity of music that is listened to on streaming platforms, it's likely closer to 100%.
It's not a choice of who's better; it's a choice of who's not worse.

Given a choice of Apple vs. anything, I can't see myself choosing anything over Apple.
How the hell did you manage to rack up $762 in yearly subscription fees...?
> i just cannot understand how 20+ former github db and infra people recently left to join a db sharding company. this makes no sense whatsoever in light of github's lack of successful sharding.

I believe you have the chain of causality backwards here. In fact, I think it suggests that talent that went to planet scale is perhaps not the issue.
Most crypto exchanges are not just exchanges. They're brokers, dealers, market makers, non-bank banks, and clearing houses all in one. Regular stock exchanges are not allowed to be both exchanges and players.
The rotation is important. Your stash needs to be a FIFO buffer that gets refreshed reasonably often. Otherwise you're just stockpiling really old food and watery gas etc.
> Lots of people get their crypto seized by the government, all the time. At one point the biggest single Bitcoin wallet holders were the FBI and the Bulgarian FBI. It's time to let that narrative go.

Cryptocurrencies are not "backdoored" like the banks as governments cannot order Bitcoin to hand over a specific person's money. While you can bug their keyboards or compromise their OSes etc., the best you can do is a $5 wrench attack if your target is not willing.
I agree with you.

He doesn’t even want these things. May I try on your sunglasses? Can I have a taste of your ice cream?

I guess they set the bar low to encourage the experimenters. “Don’t worry you can ask for anything — ask for a dollar! Borrow their newspaper!”

I would be more open to it if they had done some thinking. What’s something you genuinely need? Go ask for it. But I guess that’s not as simple. This is just street side IRL spam. Can I have those plastic flowers that I don’t want by which I mean can I waste your time with a nonsense game so I fresh content for my blog?

It’s also fundamentally selfish: “ask random strangers to do you favors”

Why not go out into the world and ask if you can do favors? Find a homeless guy or gal. Ask if he wants your shoes. Ask if she needs a dollar.
Then you at least anticipate finding people who welcome partition in your psychological experiment.

To add to this: Buy in bulk when it goes on sale and replace individual units as consumed. No need to buy it all right away when you can slowly acquire bulk bargains whenever the opportunity arises.
Because it adds a lot of friction to the average user.
Rhode Island might be a good fit. It’s still commutable to Boston in a pinch (Commuter Rail runs pretty far into the Providence suburbs) and one of the more affordable Boston exurbs.
I don't think that the distribution needs to be linear... simply the correlation between N elements needs to be linear (or 1st order dominant). It works great for estimating multiple (e.g. different causes) small deviations (over multiple elements) from a global response. If you're looking at those larger eigen values, then you're looking at the dominant mode shapes of the eigen vectors of correlation.

As others have said, it's better for estimation (not for classification).
Apple and Google are providing a service, so why exactly should they not get a cut of revenue?

To be clear, 30% is too much, but aside from payment handling and taking on fraud risk as a result of that (3-4% is generally the industry standard for card not present transactions), they provide a subscription management/payment API for IAPs, as well as app packaging and distribution, reviews, etc.

That certainly is worth more than 0%.
You can survive by hunting as long as not too many others are doing the same thing.

Whether or not there are exceptions (which of course there are) doesn't mean that there isn't a general pattern at work that is robust enough to make it a very strong predictor.
More to the point, only allocated pages matter from the perspective of resident memory. As long as the thread stacks are not actually too deep, it doesn't really matter very much the nominal depth.

Doesn't this ignore the reality that a service with many of subscribers puts dramatically more strain on marketplace systems than a service with only a few subscribers?

For example, a smalltime dev isn't going to see hardly any refunds, but a dev on the scale of Epic Games is going to be seeing something on the order of tens or hundreds per minute. Should that not be accounted for?

That said, this could be accomplished with tiered fixed fees. An indie dev would probably land in a low rung where costs are tiny, where a triple-A game studio would get charged substantially more.
Here's another issue they gloss over:

> Apr 24, 2000, Agence France Presse, NEW YORK, April 24 (AFP) - "US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on Monday called on the United States Congress to vote in favour of China's entry into the World Trade Organisation. . . Turning to globalisation in general, Albright said the United States "must help those hurt by change; but also reaffirm our belief that an open and competitive world economy is the best route to higher standards of living for people everywhere."

Didn't work out so well for the Rust Belt...
FYI, similar technology is already mature and commercially available, e.g., through Inscopix (no affiliation): https://www.inscopix.com/nvista Looks like the innovation here is getting reliable and lightweight two-photon recordings (allowing more cells and multiplane acquisitions) while the animal is moving around. Still very cool!

And responding to the other commenters, no, this kind of technology is definitely not (and never will be) a toy...

>TCO: ~35 USD

This is a nitpick, but I suspect the author doesn't know what "TCO" means. It doesn't mean "all in purchase price", it means... "total cost of ownership"[1]. The base raspberry pi[2] already costs between $25-$35. Add in shipping, cost of cables/charge/case (pictured), the purchase price alone would likely exceed $35. If we add in the cost of 5 years of power (I'm using 1W) that would definitely push us well beyond $35. And this is all before going over the biggest line item: cost of labor. It might be "free" to you, but if you're doing a cost calculation you should at least value it at the federal minimum wage.

Its a poor implementation crafted by skittish legal doing cookie cutter things for decades, implemented by certificate chasing IT staff who couldnt launch a tool by a script kiddie if their life depended on it.

And then there are also structural differences, such as in crypto the trade is the settlement.

So other markets could have a different approach, and then have to deal with settlement.
It is not "hostile" (враждебные), it is " unfriendly" (недружественные). so the translation is intentionally misleading. There is a reason for this choice of words.
And Spotify will probably also get less discounts in GCP to compensate part of that. I'm totally speculating, just to be clear.
People drink raw milk all the time (and until pretty recently in history, that's the only way it really came, until that Pasteur guy figured it out).

Modern milk is homogenised to death because of squeamishness about food being biological in origin, people don't like lumps in their tea, and some people think cream bits means it's off. But within living memory, I remember cream on retail milk being quite common (and I'm sure it still is in places with local fresh milk).

True, it's not a great idea to drink raw milk due to various diseases, so you'd be better to heat treat it first, but you certainly don't have to homogenise it to drink it.
Tarantino said once that if you put the right music with the right visual, that is the most cinematic thing there is. If you really get it right, then you cannot listen to the music again without seeing the visual. He was talking about matching popular songs to movie scenes which is what he often does; music specifically written for the scene has even more of an advantage.
I moved from Central Virginia (Grew up in Fredericksburg, spent 7 years living around Roanoke) to San Diego. I love it here. I know how humid DC summers feel and it's different out west. The sun feels nice on your skin, but the air doesn't get as sticky. Windows open feels refreshing most of the time. It doesn't totally meet your requirements but give it a look :)
Excepting darknet commerce, cryptocurrency has no other purpose besides speculation, so it's pretty obvious that speculation is why most people are buying it.
Careful what you wish for. The average techie is a lot less prepared for rule of law to go out the window than the kind of people you're deriding are.
As an economy noob I would like to understand this as well. Is Russia maybe impaired in some way from propping up the ruble using USD due to the sanctions, and this would get around that somehow? Or this makes no sense?
This is where I shrug my shoulders and say "Why not [blame] both?"

It can be that Apple, Spotify, and Google can all be screwing over creators in conjunction with their publishers.

That said, not all musicians on Spotify go through publishers.
> Yeah, never mind the dictator who used chemical weapons against the population of Iraq on multiple occasions.

Who was allied with said dictator and provided the chemical weapons to use on iraqis and others? I wonder. Which is more evil. Being an evil dictator or giving the evil dictator chemical weapons?

> Never mind the invasion of Kuwait, either, the monster in this story was clearly Albright. /s

I don't remember anyone praising saddam. And there is nothing preventing both saddam and albright from being monsters. Saddam and Albright are both monsters. If there is a hell, I'd imagine they are both there right now. Wouldn't you agree?
There are road designs that prevent driving while drunk or texting?
I did the same exact thing (in many of the same cities as well). It was a blast.

I agree this is the best way to try out a new place to live. Need to stay at least one month, but ideally 2-3, to really get a feel for a place.

We made it around the entire country over the course of the pandemic (and eloped while we were at it), but ultimately stopped due to the work involved in finding a high quality rental at a reasonable price.

Airbnb fees are high, so even after negotiating (which is a must), it is still an expensive monthly rent. But I will admit I was staying in highly desirable areas, and you are paying a premium for the flexibility.

Ultimately my favorite spots were Boulder, Chicago, and Burlington Vermont (during ski season).
"Free college" means that the 60% of Europeans who don't go to college pay for the 40% that do. This would be the poor subsidizing the rich.

VAT and payroll taxes often make up a larger portion of the budget than income taxes. These usually are not progressive.
I prefer this at least because you are performing an act of kindness rather than taking a random favor.

To the extent we do not have enough pro social behavior, injecting random kindness encourages more. Showing up and demanding nonsense favors encourages less.
> if you are in a position where you could potentially start a family

I'm in my 30s, and this seems to be the trickiest part that people older than me — sorry — seem to want to just pave over. House prices are bananas. Trump, COVID, Russia have erased years of investment gains. Student loans are a constant tax on my finances (that I'm almost free of… …soon…). Wage growth has been stagnant (my career has seen ~4.7% YoY gains, mostly me switching employers and trying to renegotiate higher; but I hear my father's career saw much faster progress, particularly in the earlier years…). Costs have not. (E.g., healthcare, and that's an incredible — and bad — incentive to marry.)

I imagine we'll hit a "it's now or never" point, and just sort of morally abdicate the idea of being responsible adults and "#yolo we're parents now" it. I don't really see the world changing for the better, anytime soon.
I'm not suggesting that at all. My post was a reply to a list of "problems", arguing they weren't actually all that important of problems. I also listed real problems we face.

I'm the lead developer on a project targeted at everyday people. I survey and interview these people about problems they have with our software and the hardware. I have real insight into the things people complain about and praise most often.

I didn't come in here and say "VR good. You dumb." The problems GP listed indicate a profound lack of good-faith experience with the technology.
As long as it looks like inflation will keep being high, it will make sense to buy early.
I don't understand this argument. Spotify is a service connecting listeners to the artists and infrastructure and development of said service has its cost whereas Google/Apple charge fees for the app store which Spotify subscription does not require.
It should have been defensible moral choice, I have corrected it.

If Putin or Stalin believed that their actions are the right thing, meaning they have decided to act due to moral reasons, than it would be moral choice. If the moral choice is defensible or not depends on the moral reasoning - you don't have to agree with someone's moral position to see agree that it is a valid position even if you don't share it (even strongly oppose it). Saying someone's position is defensible doesn't mean he did the right thing.
