Build self-confidence before worrying about women. Get used to making strong eye contact. Learn to smile at every opportunity. Read some self-help books like No More Mr. Nice Guy and Models by Mark Manson. Definitely take up some hobbies that are outside of your comfort zone (something that doesn't involve fixing syntax errors!). Do dance classes make you cringe? Great, you should sign up for that immediately. Watch Yes Man, the movie. Go to the gym and start lifting. Practice meditating everyday for just 8 minutes. Look up rejection therapy, it's an app that gives you a challenge everyday to get rejected. Rejection is good, you'll learn to just accept it and realize that it's not a big deal after all which will allow you to overcome your fears, loosen up, not give a fuck, and live your life on your own terms. You don't have to do all these things at once. Pursue them one by one and I promise you that amazing things will happen to you.

You're asian, so am I. It's very likely that you were raised by parents who only cared about our academics and accomplishments. Unfortunately, we were never taught how to be in touch with our emotions and sexuality. You will never be truly happy until you learn to become comfortable with expressing yourself freely. So with that said, you need to get used to getting out of your head and not try to overthink everything. As nerds, geeks, and hackers, our strongest trait is our ability to analyze things on a very intricate level. But this is bad when it comes to relationships because connecting with another human being is none of that, especially with women, who are very much emotional creatures by design. It's great that you are speaking out about this issue, not many can. Never be afraid to show vulnerability. Good luck on your journey and please keep us updated!

Is there any information about the expected durability of the new EBS SSD volumes compared to the old Magnetic ones?

FAQ is still showing the same "Magnetic-era" numbers:

"
most recent Amazon EBS Snapshot can expect an annual failure rate (AFR) of between 0.1% – 0.5%, where failure refers to a complete loss of the volume. This compares with commodity hard disks that typically fail with an AFR of around 4%, making EBS volumes 10 times more reliable than typical commodity disk drives.

But the 4K stream is HEVC (H.265) vs H.264 for the other HD streams, so it may not be that simple.

I agree that MELPA is mostly a good thing. However, even if the software there works fine, that doesn't address the criticisms of MELPA that the author talks about in his article: version numbers, rebuild times, effort and abuse to add a stable designated version.

(The author of the article makes elpy, an excellent Python development environment, where occasionally, a component gets modernized. This is the case right now with the refactoring logic. MELPA gives you a broken elpy, joergen has no reasonable way to override it even for people who also subscribe to his personal package index, etc. :-))

You are assuming that the dynamics of an economic system is nothing but a summation of the individual dynamics. This assumption excludes the possibility of the emergence of complex structures from simple individual behaviors.

I strongly suggest you take a look at the subjects of Complex Systems[1] theory, Nonlinear dynamics[2], Catastrophe theory[3], and Chaos theory[4]---all consistent, mathematically well grounded theories which allow for the emergence[5] of aggregate behavior that cannot be explained simply in terms of individual behaviors. There is also the emerging field of Complex economics[6]. Donald Saari wrote an introductory paper called the Mathematical Complexity of Simple Economics[7].

Hosting game servers is hard, expensive work. Hosting Minecraft servers is even tougher since the hardware requirements are pretty steep and the main userbase doesn't have much money to kick into the pot.

Minefold was a YC company that tried to make a go of monetising Minecraft hosting in the Right Way. They were smart guys and built a great platform, but they're not around any more. I believe it's because it was just too hard to get Minecraft users to pay anything for their servers.

We looked into ways to incorporate advertising into Minecraft in a player-friendly way. Mojang weren't interested in helping, but it wasn't the technical barrier that stopped us. It was inability to find buyers for the ad slots given the perceived demographic of the game.

Online multiplayer doesn't happen well without servers to mediate the experience. Those servers cost money. This remains a massive unsolved problem in the gaming industry.

What good do me BitLocker encrypted files when I put them on a usb drive and stick it in a Mac or Linux machine?

TrueCrypt was multi platform. That was a major appeal. Also, seeing as Microsoft and the other big players likely have ties with the NSA as well does not make BitLocker look any better.

I just want to have a multi platform encryption software that is also capable of encrypting a boot drive.

Previously a 1TB, 4K PIOPS volume was $525/mo. With a 35% discount on PIOPS this now runs $385/mo, but you can also get 1TB, 3K PIOPS General Purpose volume for $100/mo. Pretty nice price drop!

Generally, since 1 GB of GP SSD costs as much as 1 PIOP, in most cases you should just purchase a max(DESIRED_VOLSIZE, DESIRED_PIOPS/3)GB GP SSD volume rather than a PIOPS volume. I think.
Would be a bad tradeoff even for trusted on-disk data, since disks are so glacially slow and serialization systems always run into bad data from time to time (due to fs data corruption, io errors, memory corrupting bugs, etc).
Interesting concept but there are no entry barriers for such businesses, right ? expect 10 similar sites to start targeting local markets.

Well, HEVC compresses the same quality to about half the size of H.264, so since 4K is about 4x 1080p and the bitrate is a little over 2x their 1080p Super HD streams I'd expect the quality to be a little better.

What I'd really be interested to see is the House of Cards intro at this bitrate - the 1080p Super HD stream had a lot of really off-putting banding in the clouds.

I suggested a possible solution to the author of package.el: make it so when you install a package "foo" from archive "bar", you install "bar/foo", not just "foo". On updating, you should only get updates of "foo" from the "bar" repository. If "fie" comes along with a newer version, that's ignored. If you try explicitly installing "fie/foo", you're asked to remove "bar/foo" since that's a conflict.

As it is, I only use one non-ELPA repo to avoid the mess that results from enabling more repos. I would prefer to use e.g. melpa stable, but it supports only git packages, which means many of my favourites are left out.

Is the consumer market for second-hand drives large for them to be concerned about it? I always thought that >99% of people keep the drive their desktop/laptop came with and junk/sell/donate the whole thing without ever turning a screw. The number of people who are savvy enough to know about SSD, be willing to upgrade a drive, willing to shop for a used one vs a new one from Dell/Amazon/Newegg, and still be able to be duped might be a pretty small market.

I submitted this because I was taken aback by the numbers (would link direct to study, but they're in book form). From the article:

> Higher end estimates by Kleck and Gertz show between 1 to 2.5 million DGUs in the United States each year.

> Middle estimates have estimated approximately 1 million DGU incidents in the United States.

> Low end estimates cited by Hemenway show approximately 55,000-80,000 such uses each year.

Of course, this does not mean that 55,000+ incidents required the use of a gun, but rather that a gun was actually used in defense.

What you write is not an argument against what I wrote, and you make incorrect assumptions about what I'm assuming.

You yourself talk about the possibility of the emergence of complex structures from simple individual behaviors.

In other words, you acknowledge that it is the individual behaviors that are necessary for the complex structures to exist. There may not be a simple linear relationship between the individual action and the ultimate outcome, but that doesn't change the fact that individual actions have an influence on the market price.

It also doesn't change the fact that without individual actions, a market price would never change (and would never exist in the first place), and that therefore, individuals have some power over the market price.

That does not mean that an individual can just dictate what the price should be without any constraints, but it does mean that your definition of a competitive market is a meaningless phantasy that cannot possibly exist.

The whole field of optimal control theory is about how to control complex structures that emerge from individual controls.

Edit to add: By the way, outside of the theoretical argument, I think it's a good idea to take a brief look at what kind of markets exist empirically. In all markets that actually exist, it is obvious that there are actors who are capable of changing the market price.

This holds for exchanges, where actors change the price by buying or selling. It also holds for more everyday markets where it's typically the seller who puts up a sticker price. For example, the people running a supermarket set the price for the items in the supermarket.

One last thought: My argument is basically that for every market, there is some function f whose outputs are the prices in the market, and that the only inputs of this function is the history of actions of market participants (the shape of the function depends on the structure of the market).

My argument then continues to say that since the market price is a function of only the actions of the market participants, there must be at least one market participant whose actions influence the price, otherwise the price could never change. This is a simple mathematical statement.

Your attempted counter-argument is that the function f could be very complicated, which is completely irrelevant to my argument.
