Hm? We sync our calendars using Nextcloud, but admittedly, that's not everyone's cup of tea.

The interest rate is, yes. The monthly payment, no.

Starlink promises 350 Mb/s, not MB/s, although given their current promises vs actual speeds, I think customers may adjust their expectations a bit. Not sure where you pulled 30 Mb/s for Viasat service but it regularly tests

I regularly videoconference with team members who are on geostationary Viasat..., it's just not an issue. They say they had to learn how to adapt a little bit by giving people time to finish their thoughts, that's about it.

I've done paid work on an airplane WiFi connection through Viasat and really did not find the latency to be an issue at all, including working in the terminal. No doubt everyone has different experiences and tolerance levels for latenc

I don't have any sympathy for CERN and neither do they have any for their employees. The people that run CERN are entirely focused on a particular path of scientific progress and their handling of the situation will only change if they

I'm not sure this is much of a counterbalance? I think you can generally expect junior positions to have less responsibility and stress, at the expense of virtually no chance of moving up unless you really, really grind, and even then,

Yeah, you got a great deal. I've been hearing this story at least since I worked there, about 15 years ago.

Maybe I should've been clearer, but I didn't mean personal effects at work. The people I knew had not even unpacked their things in the apartments they were renting because they were too busy working, particularly professors. And

It's interesting to see this from CERN, which is essentially an institution that enables young people to work unlimited hours for next to no pay and virtually no chance of ever attaining significant recognition of their work. In my bri

In line with the other comments, let me give you a recent example from my work. We had a dataset with just about 30 records and about twice as many features, about 1:3 class balance between positive and negative. Not an impossible situation

I look forward to seeing what will be able to beat AWS in the long run. I don't know what it could be. I guess, maybe, if they stop innovating in the space others will catch up and then price will become the differentiator? Idk, right

Could you expand a bit about what kind of information class imbalance can reveal?

Whether deliberately or not, yes.

Physics PhD from about 7 years ago. My impressions are the same as yours.

I have this same mindset and the same plan: Keep working, and keep learning. Do you have any insight from your many decades of experience that you would like to share? I would appreciate it.

Goes doubly for the kiddos who seem to love putting everything in their mouth.

Looking forward to the results of your work, good luck and thank you!

Seriously, can it get much better than this?

ASML recently sent out a memo about "low retention."

About that last point, Redfin has access to the regional MLSs. I imagine they have a more complete dataset. My understanding is that Zillow relies on realtors to add their listings, so that means, maybe-it-happens, maybe-it-doesn't, en

by matmatmatmat 5y ago
It's unclear to me how much visibility Zillow really had, since, AFAIK, they don't have access to MLSs in the areas where they buy and sell.

Just like any other complex, tightly-integrated system, systemd had its share of bugs, quirks, and new ways of doing things that forced people to change. It's not hard to imagine why it faced some resistance. Eh, it's been a while

10x this. Install it. Set autoupdates. Come back in 3 years when it's time to think about upgrading to the next major release. Maybe don't upgrade, because, why? Everything works. I just want to keep things working. To be honest,

HN readers in Hungary are just waking up to this news, but I can confirm that's a pretty decent approximation.

Significantly lower. Agriculture accounts for about 5/6th of CA's water usage for a sector that generates 2% of its GDP. To be clear, I love getting my food from the Central Valley, but I also think there are overdue discussions t

Do you have a detailed write-up of this somewhere? I would be interested in reading it.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I'm obviously a bit late with this, but I wanted to add that I'm not sure how much of a deterrent gas routes through other countries were for Russia to begin with, e.g., it did not seem to help Uk
