There's nothing preventing the inputs required to keep the drones going - power generation, parts, repair, etc. - being automated exactly the same way as every other facet of our economy is being automated.
it is, but every now and then a software update will break something, or something will conflict. it's fine, but i find overall stability is a little bit of an issue, which i didn't use to mind, but these days i do. even simple things like making sure my machines are on the same versions of things, or expecting to install something and it just work™
The key is to divide your milestones in very small tasks in hours and communicate this detailed hourly plan with your total estimate. Update your manager/client about your progress as frequently as possible. Twice a week if not daily.

During the project, if you realize that your estimates were originally wrong, fix it asap and communicate immediately. Frequent communication is the key.
Not OP, but I've also been look for a way to leave ggplot2 behind and make the jump to 100% python for data analysis. These look neat.

Personally, Arch has been really unstable for me, although I have a newer ATI graphics card and am trying to go it with the open-source drivers, so that's my problem.

In general, what people mean about Arch's flakeyness is the general maintenance involved with staying up-to-date, and reviewing all your pacnews/pacsaves.
Wow cool! This made me so happy that I already own a 3DS. If you are on the fence about it, but you played gameboy/nintendo for the past 20 years, go ahead and get a 3DS. This plus there are at least 7 or 8 games that are really fun.
That statement only makes sense if you have the (incorrect) assumption that these characteristics are "human". They are animal, more specifically predator/mammal characteristics. Humans are not distinct, special or separate. Homo Sapien Sapien are nothing more than one end of a gradient of "intelligence", "sentience", etc.
You're framing my train of thought as unnecessary or atypical and that's dishonest.

There is no downside to having more granular revision history. It's important to recognize that, not necessary to follow, though.
If the replication factor for blobs is calculated from the 'hotness' of the data (by looking at the age for example), I'm wondering how CDNs come into play.

Increasing the replication factor would allow for faster reads, but there usually wouldn't be a need for that if you offload reads of hot data to a CDN service (could be an internal CDN...).

Yeah, I probably should't have said more valuable. It's more accurate to say that there a lots of people who can program poorly and for most jobs that's all that's needed. Far fewer people can manage others well or effectively allocate resources.
That small slip annoyed me too. Long s does not appear at the end of words or in capital letters (at least not that I can currently recall), which is why it would not appear in the title (the capital letter of "School" or the word-end form in "Venus"), but I believe it is the standard form at the start of words.
The most important thing is to state unmisunderstandably, before you start the project, that you are making an estimate which has an error range of +/- 3 orders of magnitude and that you will be revising it as you go along.

Once that is clear, the customer is prepared and will be expecting and able to handle estimate revisions whenever you make them.

Ah! A very good point. Does anyone else know more about this than, apparently, I do?

Edit: After a bit of Googling, it looks like this may be OK under Virginia Law.
In short, it appears that the governing law is the Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act, which provides an exception to retention and sharing restrictions for "criminal intelligence information."

So I'll prefix this by saying that I haven't used systemd for anything important yet, but have it running in a VM to see what the impact will be when the distro's force us to switch.

It seems that for the "normal" use cases (i.e. laptop running gnome+vi, server running postgres) systemd will be simpler.

For embedded / single purpose applications, it seems that it will require a chunk more work. I have use cases like a) Only power the 3G module and bring up ppp when I am within certain GPS coordinates. b) switch the wifi between hostapd and wpa_supplicant depending on the state of a GPIO.

The fact there is no general purpose programming language in the .service files makes them simpler, but for anything out of the ordinary you will be writing bash/python anyway. And then it feels like systemd is just getting in the way.

The replacement daemons also seem a bit weak, compare timesyncd with chrony for example.

Sometimes all you need PID 1 to do is run the equivalent of rc.local and get out of the way (almost like slackware's rc.M)

So I guess my point is that not everybody is in the love/hate systemd camp, some of us are just careful and still sceptical.
Diving Deep into the 2014 Local Search Ranking Factors Report
I felt the same, but I've come to realize that the comment you take issue with perfectly encapsulates the tech industry. A no holds barred race to the bottom. That's why work conditions, salary, stability and prestige are nowhere near comparable industries such as finance, heavy engineering, medicine, law, etc.

Something about programmers makes them think they are all the destined one true hero, and as a result, programmers tend to disparage and disrespect their own peers, at great cost to themselves.

My favorite is this guy [1], who was literally adding billions of dollars of revenue for Goldman Sachs, but was getting paid peanuts. When he left to pursue more interesting work (not for salary!), they brought the FBI down on him.

I don't call myself a programmer, computer scientist, or any such low class term anymore. I'm a consultant, and I don't associate with self-deprecating professionals who denigrate their own fields.

Humans are primates, and we form status hierarchies. Proudly exclaiming that your tribe is at the very bottom is the definition of stupidity. Good luck to those that do, I sincerely wish you the best. But when your salary stagnates, you're asked to work 80hr weeks without overtime, and you get no respect from management, maybe its time for a little self-reflection.

There is a reason software dev is such a low status profession, and it's not because we're "nerds". It's because we self-denigrate and self-deprecate like no other profession on earth.

The way to handle estimates is to have milestones. At the milestone, scope, cost and schedule changes are formally decided.

If you can't pick reasonable milestones, there's no way you can make a meaningful estimates. And without reasonable milestones there's no way to analyze where the process slips and to learn from it.

I would posit that Hachette failing to see the direction that the world was headed in is a large failing on their part. OK, it's too much to expect a publisher to see how the world will be in a decade and react accordingly.

But the idea that they could see Amazon becoming a bigger and bigger buyer and fail to do anything to diversify their wholesale and retail outlets should also be a strike against Hachette.

I was assume that this was part of a structured bill of materials. Changing the rev level should be sufficient to identify the change and would not entail changing the BOM.

I'm going to make a strong guess that the rev level was incremented (the article doesn't mention rev levels). If so, I don't see anything wrong with using the same P/N. It's not like that part number exists elsewhere in the vehicle.
I agree with you, but I would take it even further. A problem with MOOCs (and I love that acronym so much, ya MOOC!) is there is a belief that the value of prestigious colleges lies primarily in listening to old white guys prattling on for hours. The true value of an Ivy league degree is making connections to other wealthy people and learning the secret handshakes or whatever to be allowed into aristocrat level job opportunities. The "education" at these places is a smoke screen and justification for this entitlement process. "It's not that my daddy is rich that I have been handed a plum job, its because I got just so darn educated at my fancy school!"

The comparison was between a company who's web UI tricked unsuspecting/naive users into revealing private info to third parties, and a company who's browser UI is making it all too easy for unsuspecting/naive users to inadvertently reveal private info to third parties.

I think the two are quite comparable. In both cases, the software developer should be responsible for guiding the user to make the right decision.
This would be nice because it's always a good idea to have a fallback payment processor.

In my experience MailChimp customer service is hard to deal with and they don't really try to work with you even when you have a legitimate claim like you have. Also MailChimp will not give you any specific information about why you were shutdown other than just generic information.

I would suggestion just switching to another service. I've had better experience with https://mailgun.com/ because they will try to work with you more. They also have more options so if your industry is high risk, you can use your own IP addresses but still get the MailGun service.

Regarding 0: do you use "low-toxin coffee beans"? It sounds shady, I'd like to know more.
There is perhaps no other topic of human health we intentionally complicate more than nutrition and supplementation. Every year there is a new study contradicting what we believed to be a solid truth about what we eat, and for every study that says you should eat fat/red meat/salt/alcohol, there is another study that says you shouldn't. This extends to even the most seemingly defensible advice, like taking vitamin D for fair-skinned individuals in cold climates. I had spoken with a medical school professor on how he was now redacting that advice upon new research that came out of a highly regarded, peer-reviewed journal. It seems nothing is safe when it comes to what we ingest.

Fundamentally, it comes down to eating whole, unprocessed foods in sensible amounts and moving around in a manner that provides enough stimulus to fend off disease and atrophy. Everything else is majoring in the minor and varies wildly by individual. There are plenty of lean, healthy individuals on high carb, low fat diets; same with high fat, low carb. If you stick to those fundamentals and experiment with a diet and exercise regimen that is sustainable for you, you will have success. It astounds me that we continuously need to drill into our brains that a diet of salads and the fresh catch of the day is healthier than TV dinners and the drive-through.
In terms of modern science, we know marrow can have direct impact on neuron development in adults.

http://www.foh.dhhs.gov/NYCU/BoneMarrow.asp

Earlier scientific work has shown that bone marrow cells can enter the mouse brain and produce new neurons. However, the new study is the first to show that this phenomenon can occur in the human brain. The study appears in the January 20, 2003, online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences1.

In terms of archaeological record and Early Man

http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Homo

Tooled up
But around two million years ago, telltale cut marks on the surface of animal bones reveal that early humans were using crude stone tools to smash open the bones and extract the marrow. Stone tools allowed early Homo to get at a food source that no other creature was able to obtain - bone marrow. Bone marrow contains long chain fatty acids that are vital for brain growth and development. This helped further fuel the increase in brain size, allowing our ancestors to make more complex tools.

The tools made by habilis are called 'Oldowan tools'. The process used to make these tools was incredibly simple. Hominids picked up one stone, known as a core and broke it with another, known as a hammerstone or percussor. This gave them a sharp cutting edge that could pass through an animal's hide.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2YMfzhm8ao

Some of the oldest stone tool use we've discovered appears to be tied into marrow extraction by pre-human species about 3.4 million years ago. Long enough for evolutionary forces to have a major impact.

http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v56/n12/full/1601646a.htm...

Another fruitful line of evidence for early hominid diets is from analogy with modern humans, rather than other living primates. In a recent paper Cordain et al, (2001) also argue that the observed increased brain size through time in the Homo line requires the consumption of animal products. They point out that there are two essential fatty acids, docsahexaenoic and arachidonic, that are essential to brain development in modern humans, and the best sources of these two fatty acids are bone marrow, and particularly ruminant brains. Therefore, the consumption of these animal products would have facilitated expansion in brain size and increased cranial capacity over the long term. Similar arguments regarding omega-3 fatty acids are presented by Chamberlain (1996, 1998).

There's tons more. It's pretty well researched and the hypothesis is generally accepted.

There's a documentary somewhere that demonstrates marrow extraction with recreations of millions year old stone tools. There's some co-evolution arguments about the orientation of our hands and the size and strength of human triceps (designed to hold and smash), but I can't find the papers on those right now.

Has anyone negotiated with Mail Chimp after having been blocked before?

Yes. They blocked Bingo Card Creator back in the day, because of concerns that it was gambling-related. I successfully appealed and convinced them that it was not, in fact, gambling-related.

I'd send them approximately what you just posted. Emphasize that you are from the clean, upstanding side of the Internet and, while you're aware that you happen to abut a hive of scum and villainy, explain that you are squeaky clean. Offer to stop referencing marital aids. If you have external indicia of credibility, I would reference them. ("As cited on 20/20." "Written by a PhD in human sexuality.", etc)

Ultimately, if you can convince a rep at MailChimp, you win. As an anti-spam researcher in a past life, I want to mention the possibility that you're going to lose, even if they trust your intentions. You're a negligible percentage of the email and business originating at a MailChimp IP. It is critically important to them that that IP and the email/business going through it does not get burned. Various automatic and manual processes do not consider your business to be of equal worth with other businesses, and your opinion on that being unfair will not change their mind.

Additionally, and this is just a "facts about the world" thing rather than meant to discourage you as someone making things: "I collate links from across the web" is, virtually everywhere, not seen as a high value-added activity. That goes for MailChimp, for Google, and for virtually anyone else you want to convince to like you. It pattern-matches with "content scraper." I would strongly consider investing in quality first-party "content" which you could thicken with curated links rather than relying on the curated links being the whole of the offering. You've already got two and a half strikes against you due to the nature of the business.
