I think she's on the homepage of Noom (http://www.noom.com/index.php). Different angle then WellnessFX but same outfit and hair.

The standalone URL for the Amazon movie catalog is amazon.com/vod (for video on demand I suppose). That's both prime and non-prime shows.

The UI is a bit weaker now on the website than it used to be. Before it would gray out the episodes you've watched. Now they gray out the background, but only if you've seen enough of the episode for it to "count". There's also a light green bar showing your progress through the episode on the right hand side.

If you use streaming with an app, like the one on the Playstation, you can click on "Your TV Shows", and it will remember which season and episode you watched last. So I click on the show, and it remembers I'm on episode 10. Barring that I try to remember to keep the most reason season on my watchlist (since unlike Netflix, you can add a season to a watchlist rather than a show)

I agree the autoplay is slightly annoying. At best I've figured out there's a "skip" button in the UI to tell it to play the next, but that's still manual.

OP might need to interview a few professionals, because I talked with a retirement advisor (free via work) shortly after college and they basically told me "You're young, you could lose all your money tomorrow and it won't matter in the long run" and basically gave the normal advice of "buy index funds."

Similarly trying to find someone now that I can pay for advice is difficult because there's no one around working with young professionals. You either need a few mil in assets, want them to manage all your money, or be 10-15 years from retirement.

Cloud is definitely better if you need to scale out, but if you need either raw performance, have requirements for particular hardware (e.g. Backblaze with their custom disk shelves, certain hardware appliances, tape backup requirements), or if you want the cheapest cost per month then a colo may be right for you. Remember it's cheaper because you're paying for the sysadmin time and remote hands, versus Amazon with their people.

You could also do hybrid approach - colo for core infrastructure and cloud to scale out, but that's more difficult to setup.

At a certain scale of colo or with very heavy security requirements you'll find it's cheaper to have your own datacenter.

I can't see a type of datacenter it doesn't apply to. You pay for transit, power draw, and to a lesser extent rack units. If you get a rack or a half rack with your expected power draw and want to spill past that they'll be charging you extra because that's space they can't sell to someone else. Some datacenters also provide cages, so your hardware is physically separated from other people. That'll cost extra too.

The only thing I didn't see a mention of is DC power, whereas your out of the box power supplies on most OEM equipment is for AC. Most of the server supplies nowadays should be able to handle 240V, 208V, and 120V with AC on the same unit, when you go DC you want to consider buying a separate AC power supply for setting up the server in your office (unless you drop ship it to the colo).

Make sure you get a very efficient power supply too, because while you can get the most efficient or power miserly server on the planet, an inefficient power supply will increase the draw significantly. You also want to right-size the power supply, because drawing too little power lowers the efficiency (there's an efficiency curve available for most PSUs that are rated).

Any reason for the Delaware LLC vs a (your resident state) LLC? I thought Delaware was really only requested for S and C corp structures accepting outside investment.

I have the Herman Miller Embody http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/performance-wor...

At my last job I used the Stealcase Leap (v1) http://www.steelcase.com/en/products/category/seating/task/l.... It was good but not so good that I wanted to come home from work and work in the same chair.

One job I had went to hot desking for a campus of over 1000 people. The oversubscription ratio was 1.25 people to 1 station, with the assumption that every 5th person would be not in a desk for some reason (travel, vacation, sick, in meetings -- they actually measured this by taking headcounts). The idea is that if you were going to leave your desk for more than some specified amount of time you'd pack everything up.

You can also get * on traceroutes (step 3-8) because the devices don't respond to ICMP. Network admins like to disable ICMP on their switches and routers so you can't trace the network topology. Your only definite packet loss is on 9 and 11 because you only got 1 of the 3 packets returned.

Our IRC chat (flowdock) has a section which is basically water cooler discussion and copious amounts of gifs. Normal work takes place in other channels.

Other than that...

"bring my dog to work" self-made perk :) He hangs out in the same room I'm in for most of the day.

You can use hop to similar end, and it's got support for shortest unique name and tab completion. https://github.com/Cue/hop

What I think the 6 month rule is:

After 6 months, your employer can more accurate judge your work and it isn't necessary to wait until the "annual" review. It's an opportunity to adjust salary upwards because you've proved your value. Remember, the original negotiated salary was based on pre-job leverage (skills, knowledge, etc) and not how well you exceed in the role. You could prove to be a bigger value-add than was expected.

You don't have to pose it as an ultimatum (Pay me more or I'll quit), because you can also use it as an opportunity to find out how to adjust in order to get the raise at the 1 year mark, which is in another 6 months.

very.photos is $24.99. Seems doge related and I'm surprised if someone doesn't take it soon.

You can still sign up for Quora accounts without a social network OAuth. I just did. It asked for my email, firstname, and lastname.

When you post questions or answer, you can also click the "anonymous" checkbox to remove your name.

You're probably looking at a Supermicro system if you DIY. Otherwise you could try the business line workstations from the normal OEMS.

http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/superworkstation.cfm

Warning though -- some of those supermicro systems are very loud, and rival similar 4U rackmount systems. In fact, most of them have rack mount conversion kits available to be loaded into a server room.

And maybe they will, because the genius won't value themselves properly (on the flip side, I'm sure there's a ton of people with inflated expectations), but eventually they're going to figure it out and they'll leave. I'm seriously doubting that employers can find these kids faster than they leave.

I thought R was for statistics and not for mass balance equations. Graphing does seem plausible, that's sometimes what she does at the end.

EDIT: Even if she got it installed she'd have to the whole team to install it as well because they share data by emailing the spreadsheets.

My girlfriend uses a spreadsheet for her engineering work. She constantly complains about Excel running out of memory and crashing, and her work won't authorize the 64 bit version.

Basically she's importing time series data from sensors around the production plant, and then doing fairly complex engineering calculations. All of the formulas are pretty much textbook or derivation/substitutions thereof (e.g. different units, etc), but it's really crazy seeing them written as single line Excel expressions. She spends hours debugging single expression errors in the formulas written by herself and other engineers.

Since you asked for 2 examples, I used a spreadsheet for hosting cost estimation.

Make a new account (all those "throwaway201404.." accounts you might see), and then submit with that

There was a service a while back called "Please Return Me" or somesuch. I found their Facebook page but it looks like it's dead. Anyhow they had tamper-resistant labels with a serial number that you could put on devices. That way if it was lost, someone could get a reward from you to return it.

A similar process might work with this idea.

My one concern is that what happens if you have A selling legitimately to B, then B tries to resell to C? A could trigger the alert, making C think B is a thief.

Do they do that on larger jets? I thought valet check was only for smaller regional planes (2-2 and 1-2 configurations) where overhead bins don't even fit rollaboards.

Probably around 1-2 man-hours directly. The first bit was myself and my coworker running around trying to figure out what this was and how big of a deal after seeing the post on HN. I manually patched a few non-essential systems to make sure the patches took without a huge dependency tree update, then my coworker rolled it out automatically to all the systems.

We spent some follow up time checking Amazon's site to make sure our ELBs were updated (because it wasn't by the time we patched) and sending out the post-mortem to the team. Our certs were already going to expire, so we renewed them and updated them again via automation.

You can't do subdomain.localhost:port, so the idea is to create a DNS server that will resolve .dev as a TLD to 127.0.0.1

>"Your coworkers spent a total of 36.4 hours reading your message. It cost the company $1458 in employee time. "

This in itself could be a nice plugin for your mail. You need 3 values to be able to calculate it:

* Number of employees the mail will be sent to (hard with aliases, easier with Outlook PDLs)

* Average fully burdened cost of employees (managers should know this, or you can default to something like $120K)

* Estimated time to read (based on wordcount and an average reading speed)

From there you can get the "hours wasted reading this mail" and "cost of this email".

EDIT: You could go above and beyond and use an open rate percentage to more accurately determine the cost, but that's not something an email client could record, it'd be server side.

Yes you do get some uneven wear, but I'm sure UPS's fleet maintenance keeps track of that too. For the tires, you can rotate them on a regular schedule to reduce repeated wear patterns and spread it more evenly on all of the tires before they're replaced.

I'm guessing you're asking about Linux sysadmin and not Windows sysadmin, but correct me if I'm wrong.

What sort of Linux experience do you have already? Are you looking to spend money on resources or free stuff only? Also, are you looking for generic "sysadmin" concepts, or for how to implement on a particular operating system like CentOS or Ubuntu?

Someone else on HackerNews just open sourced his tutorials: https://github.com/snori74/ebook1. They're written for someone new to Linux but has some Windows background.

The mark is for "contrasting yellow border". I can pick out the Fluke equipment easily from all those images.

It's not protecting the use of yellow, which is why the pure yellow devices exist.

What do you mean by Mac mode? The site says "Are you on a Mac, and need to swap Alt with Command?" and has a dip switch to make the change.

It's nice to not aggregate your items. I looked at my prime history, and it's a combination of books, music, and household items that don't always meet the $35 free shipping (used to be $25 until Q4 last year). For example, my most recent purchase was a $15 book that I got on 2 day shipping.

Also the way free supersaver shipping works is that you wait 3 days or until the warehouse is low on work, whichever comes first, before they pick your order. You then have to wait for 3-5 day ground shipping. You can pay for shipping at any speed to avoid the product picking delay.
