Thanks for the compliment! I ran the dotCloud support group from 2012 until we sold the platform, and we tried very hard to be approachable. I also worked with the acquiring engineers and found them to be excellent. They're super nice, care deeply about creating an excellent PaaS, and they're very experienced at ops and running cloudcontrol.de in Germany. I felt completely comfortable turning my customers over to them, so I'm sure they'll keep living up to the support you've come to expect.
Hmm, I find that explanation pretty uncompelling as a user.

They could either hold the app release until the features go live, or list the coming features, but note that rollout would not be immediate (lots of precedent there w/ e.g. graph search).
It possibly gives an excuse for the lack of transmissions visible, but simple efficiency considerations already explain that. You transmit with the minimum power that works (plus margin), with as much focus as you can get.
Nope, you didn't miss anything. It's not even spam, just irrelevant.
the subtitle asks if the crimes at hand are too big to comprehend -- this seems like an ultimate challenge to the mind of a hacker. complexity? bring it on.
The functions are more first-class than list comprehensions and other syntactic alternatives. It's easier, both conceptually and lexically, to mangle, pass around, chain, and combine functions and function argument than it is to write nested list comprehensions.

Not against list comprehensions per se, really. They're just a convenient subset for most commonly idiomatic sequence-mangling-spells, but that's most of what they're good for.
You could go all transhumanist and use e.

That problem is for the acquiring company to solve.
Even if you believe him - which I don't, it wasn't doled out, it was loaned - at apparently normal rates for the fed, and to large central banks (i.e. creditworthy). Near zero rates? Baloney. 0.25% interest is the normal market rate for such banks - but of course he doesn't actually say 0.25 he says "near zero".

12.3 trillion? What is this an Austin Powers movie?

There's around 10 trillion dollars of money in the entire US! (M2 and lower money supply.) And around 50 trillion in total assets.
Thanks for the detailed article, Paul. Do you have any paying customers? It's not clear from the Notifo site if you have a paid version out yet. Don't want you to spill all your beans, but it would also help to know how many total users you have (ballpark?) to give some context to your fundraising story.
Citizens United was primarily about allowing leveraged discussions of such topics in the 1-2 months before Federal primary and general elections. A ban on core political speech, and since the primary season is so long, and the national conventions are just a bit more than 2 months prior to general elections....

Which is exactly why the incumbent establishment was incandescently upset that this decision stuck down part of the bipartisan McCain (Republican)-Feingold (Democrat) law.

Key there is leveraged. That takes money and organization. Citizens United was about suppressing the distribution of a film during the 2008 Democratic primary season (as clarified during the oral arguments, this extended to books). The law went so far as to prevent sending non-partisan voter's guides such as the NRA's 60 days prior to general election; "low information voters" would not seem to be viewed as a great problem by our betters.
So covid-19 relieves brain inflammation? Cool!
As visually appealing and nigh-brilliant as that is, there's a fatal flaw in it that means I'll never touch the stuff:

It distorts the map to enhance meaningful areas. All those images are of the same area, compare them to the normal map on the left at the top of the article.

Brilliant and deadly. I use maps because they're physically accurate, so I can estimate times / distances between things, and find alternate paths if needed, and know if I went too far. The distortion there is way too significant to do that sort of analysis, though.

I know I may very well be in the minority in that, but there you have it. I'd love to see a large comparative study between "real" people. Gut-feeling is that most would like it, though, because it seems few outside the geek world are efficient at information filtering.
There's 2 reasons on top of the generic problems with vertical integration, at least that I know of. First, once an independent dealership opens, they're gonna forever be afraid that the manufacturer is going to cut off their supply and then open an official dealership next door. It screws up the value equation for opening a dealership in that the small family owned business takes all the risk so the giant mega corp can swoop in and take all the profits once they finally show up (at least that's how you pitch it to the voters).

Second, dealerships make their money off of the maintenance as well as the sale. Allowing the manufacturer to dip into that maintenance revenue stream will create perverse incentives that hurt consumers.

The first one doesn't really apply, as Tesla has the capital to start all of the dealerships they need and that's basically what they want; they don't want 3rd party dealerships popping up at all. The second one applies to Tesla, but I don't think it really matters. They are The Experts in electric cars right now, so any significant maintenance will probably just get shipped back to their factory anyway.
Microsoft are giving stock options instead of actual stock? That can't be true. Are they looking for stupid employees or what?
I've always wondered what kind of privacy safeguards are in place for any organization that holds big data on users.

A few years ago, a Google engineer was fired for spying and accessing accounts of some teenagers. Google investigated and fired him after one of them complained.

Here is the article: http://gawker.com/5637234/gcreep-google-engineer-stalked-tee...
> In Norway if you want to log in to your bank you need a friggin Java Applet.

Not with Skandiabanken. Their only special requirement is a phone for doing two-factor authentication by SMS.

If you wanna use the horridly flawed BankID, which they do also offer, you probably need Java as you say.

Rant to foreigners about BankID: The conversation must have gone like this at a meeting of Noreay's major banks:

- Public key crypto is good.

- Yes!

- But users are too stupid/lazy to safeguard their private keys...

- Good point. How 'bout some trusted party taking care of those for the users?

- Yes! And you know who you can trust? Banks!

- Agreed then, we'll sit on the private keys, and when the customer wants so sign for say a mortgage, they just authorize us to do so for them.

- That last step sounds cumbersome...

- Nah, we'll just do it over the Internet.

- But won't that put us back where we started?

- Hush! I can't hear you over the sound of future income!
Perhaps something like btrfs could work.

By creating your base image in a subvol or individual file you can then snapshot that and mount the snapshot into the container?

additionally it lets you piggy back on the stuff that inktank and openstack are doing with ceph and btrfs

distributed storage with cow images for VMs for your container servers
It's a bit unfair to say SpaceX spent only 800M to build the Dragon. A lot of the technology it uses was developed by and for NASA with NASA's money.

Not to say that NASA has been doing design-by-politics for a very long time. When practicality gives way to what politicians want in order to increase their own constituency, the technological endeavor is pretty much doomed.

Of course, Feynman said it much better than me.
Doesn't work for me. Site keeps getting connection resets.
There are classes of users who will consider it snake oil if well-known encryption algorithm names aren't used, because it implies home-grown encryption.
I'd love to have some bids from HN readers in particular!
Talk to a professional. It's possible an anti-anxiety medication could have a profound effect, or simply talking through the underlying thought process that's keeping you isolated may be the ticket.

I have very similar thoughts and I can sympathize with how crappy it feels. I'm always worried that I'm doing or saying something stupid, and I can't really stop thinking that whoever I'm interacting with must think I'm an idiot. Knowing that there's a schism between reality and your perception of the situation is a good start though.

Something I'm starting to do is look for groups related to my interest that interact both online and in person. I'm really into iPhone photography, so I've been getting to know other local enthusiasts though Flickr and Instagram. Meeting in person is much more comfortable, since there's already some connection and common interest.

If you happen to be in the Toronto area, I'll take you out for a beer and we know at least 1 thing in common we can talk about. :)
It sounds horrid, but it's not entirely a new phenomenon. In First Aid training, I was taught never to yell "someone call an ambulance" when assisting a victim because people will just stand there like lemons looking at you. Instead, you are supposed to pick someone at random in the crowd, look them in the eye and yell "you, there, tall guy in the red shirt - call an ambulance" - and the person will jump right to it, or find someone who can.

That said, I agree that sitting around doing nothing but also recording the event does raise the unpleasantness of it.
This comment is neither funny or related to the article. I was hoping the top rated comment would be something that thoughtfully engaged or critiqued the original post.
"In an attempt to learn where the solvers live, Savage et al. sent out specially fabricated CAPTCHAs with images of words in various languages. [..] But one organization showed exceptional linguistic versatility, even solving challenges in Klingon."

This is a rather surprising finding.
I'm using vimperator now, I didn't know about pentadactyl, thanks!

I actually don't bother forcing everything into windows, I'm fine with firefox managing its own tabs. In fact, I rarely have more than two windows on any one tag (and I really only select one tag at a time...kind of a "everything runs in fullscreen" mode for the most part).
That looks nice. Is the teacup/strainer good? I like that it's ceramic vs the plastic one from Adagio.
Cory is always a pleasure to read.
Only 21,000 (oops, originally wrote 58,000 which was wrong) were stranger abductions (http://www.ygoy.com/index.php/child-abduction-statistics/). Only 115 were "sterotypical kidnappsings" ( child is detained overnight, transported atleast 50 miles, held for ransom or intended to be kept permanently or killed).
The intended outcome is not open source projects but commercial products/services, companies owned by the developers.
Except Netflix had a minimum standard of performance. This reads to me that the best entry submitted before time expires gets the prize, regardless.
Another annoying thing is that university plagiarism policies seem to have been largely written by humanities departments without thinking very hard about the needs of others.

Taken literally, my local university's plagiarism policy says it would be "academic misconduct" for a mathematics undergraduate to reproduce a known proof of a theorem in an examination without identifying a source. Unless things have changed greatly, this is not in fact expected of them.
I agree with the logic. The hotel owner is conceding that he doesn't expect anyone to value being livestreamed by making it a motive for discounting.

You could make managed streaming an addon for a more magical hotel experience.
Just think of the immense amount of work a compiler is doing to compile a decently sized C++ or Rust binary.

If there was a need for it, static site generators could be scaled to tens or hundreds of thousands of pages and still finish in a few seconds. Caching partial results is always an option.

There are generators that are decently performant, like Hugo (Go) [1] or Zola (Rust) [2].

> In a typical PL context "effects" is always short for algebraic effects

The word "effects" has a long and storied history in programming language theory that predates algebraic effects/handlers by decades. The study of effect systems includes algebraic effects but also monads and other type and effect systems. In some situations the lines between these are blurred, for example with "extensible effects" which are algebraic effects implemented by a free(r) monad combined with "data types a la carte"-style open unions.
That's not the issue I'm referring to. While I agree that prejudice against white men exists, it's not really a terrible burden and doesn't really matter in my view.

But, if we believe that the philosophical ideals underlying modern society are fundamentally evil or rejectable -- that is a serious deal to me.

I reject the idea we should be born with shame for the whole of western human civilization as an evil upon the earth. We need to appreciate what we've all come from.

When we know that we come from societies that are thousands of years old, we can better prepare for a positive future, thousands of years in the future.

Taking white dudes down a notch, I have no issue with that. But I take issue with associating the classics with fascism -- and promoting the idea that reading and loving the classics is a sort of fascist act. No way. For instance, I think that if more people read Plato and understand his role in history, they would be happier -- and happier about the world they live in.
From that page:

> There is no KYC process.

How does an unbanked put their paper money into their cryptocurrency account without a KYC process? (Please don't say trust a random third party stranger in a pub offering cryptocurrency at an exorbitant markup.)

> There are no fees for opening or having an account

I've never paid a fee to open or have a bank account, but how does an unbanked put their paper money into their cryptocurrency account without paying a fee (or an exorbitant markup)?

> You don’t need to trust a third party with your money.

How does an unbanked get their paper money into their cryptocurrency account without trusting a third party?

> There’s no need to visit a financial institution. As long as you have internet access you always have access to your money and can make payments.

Online and phone banking existed decades before Bitcoin was created.

> Around 60% said they had too little money to use a bank account

Yet they'd somehow have enough to put into cryptocurrency account?
> Ironically, the thing I would appreciate most is a manually curated, Wikipedia inspired, hierarchical directory.

Yahoo?
I think being hireable, more hireable even, is illustrated by your having an above average response rate.
Laundering is used to disguise the bad original of counterfeit money as well as money obtained by unacceptable means. That is the point of the laundering analogy. I think counterfeit money is a better fit in the article’s analogy. Cargo cult Science would be an even better term.

To be clear, I do not propose ignoring anyone’s feelings except when actual harm is likely. No one would, I hope, argue that if an anorexic feels he is too fat doctors should write prescriptions for diet medications. Actual harm is likely, and feelings should take a subordinate role.
I think issues is that it's artificial cash.

A lot of people expected inflation with newly printed money (central banks poured ridiculous amount new money in economy after 2008), but it never arrived. Because that money never found a way from investment to consumer goods, so for normal people the inflation is pretty standard.

Except of prices of housing, which is also an investment asset.

Inflation in investment assets is quite larger and we consider it "economic growth".
Because it's purpose isn't to return a profit. It's bribery pool used to corrupt the West's business and political institutions.
I have the Citroën c4 spaceturer which also does this.

The ww Turan is also a option.

Fate is not a “real” thing. What are you talking about exactly when you say fate?
The one month free trial does not mean much. Linkedin flagged me as a recruiter, and refused to let me search for people at one of my previous companies. They insisted I had to be a premium member to search the way I was searching. I signed up for the free month of premium, and I was still flagged as a recruiter, and my searches denied. Linkedin support had difficulty explaining there were two levels of premium, but they finally confirmed I had to pay to be able to search. I paid. Then my searches sort of worked. Out of five specific people, only one was actually in Linkedin. I realize they need money to make their business work. I just did not like the way they extracted the money from me. My free advice: don't search like a recruiter. Whatever that means.
Not anyone, actually. Non US citizens can't buy Global Entry.
I don't think this is a fair comparison. WeWork is guilty of projecting too optimistically. Enron was engaged in massive accounting fraud, booking potential future revenues in this quarter's numbers, etc.
Single word. Cameras.

To behave amoraly you'd have to assume that cameras aren't rolling or conceal your identity acknoledging openly that you are a thief which most of regular people are not comfortable with.
According to Wikipedia Microsoft had 89000 employees in 2010. Do you really think all of them agree with every "underhanded" tactic Microsoft used over the years? Or should be damned for things Microsoft did (maybe even before they worked for Microsoft)?

Working for Microsoft is still a job, not a lifetime decision. And attributing a job with "evil" sounds like a hyperbole (ignoring jobs that involve killing people, that's a different matter).
I wonder if Sony every anticipated that the PSN would be THIS big a honeypot?

My PS3 is going in a DMZ, right now.
"marketing in a market"

As one of those MS employees at kubecon, I'm typing this on an x1 running ubuntu. I'm not on booth duty or any official marketing duty. I regularly use both linux and windows where necessary to get the job done, preferring linux for personal and development work where possible.

The colleagues I have who run macOS/Linux but are on official duty, are absolutely not here to show off their laptops running macOS or linux. Those are simply the devices they work on.

re: windows server, I really don't think so. Internally, most teams I work with on .NET framework running server applications are in the process of migrating to .NET core, linux containers, and Kubernetes. I know many teams going through this process. They don't want to be on windows server, and no one inside the company is trying to force them to as far as I can tell.

Desktop is still a different story, there's a comment elsewhere in the thread (something about suggesting alternatives to editing text files in /etc) which I thought was pretty apt about the failings of linux there.
I think many Christians would argue otherwise, but I hold them and their beliefs in contempt.
I hope this is only the beginning of a series of popular web apps and social networks all recreated as pithy single file documents. Next should be Facebook.
Valve has picked a market to focus on (PC VR) at the cost of foregoing the much larger audience of standalone VR customers. You can’t blame these customers for not buying the Index since it doesn’t meet their needs. If Valve made their own standalone headset at a similar price point, I think people would be all over it.
One user's self is another user's attacker. This attack isn't one-time; if I can break into the hardware and change the keys such that I now control it, then someone else with temporary physical access can then break into my hardware and change the keys again, suborning "my" IoT device into e.g. a subtle wiretap.

A computer anyone—not just the owner—can root given physical access, is like a lock that anyone—not just the owner—can non-tamper-evidently pick open. It really is broken.
given that they're 3500 years old, 700 years ago is relatively recent
Because people tend to be cattle and eliminating the echo chamber of targeted political advertising is a good thing. If you want your message out there let everyone see it and call you out for your lies, whatever your party or end game. I prefer twitter's method of just cutting it out, but Goog hit the middle ground I suppose and only let advertisers aim more generic target audience like age and sex.
Over the next 5 years:

1. add pizza, Chinese, wings, subs, mexican, burgers

2. drop mexican because it doesn't deliver well.

3. drop Chinese because the equipment is completely different from the other three and the incremental sales don't really add up.

4. They basically stumbled back into a basic pizza delivery operation.
The only thing remotely surprising here is that they lasted this long. It was frankly idiotic of them to have it there in the first place. No one is happy to spend $80 on a replacement MagSafe charger because the previous one frayed, so of course the listing was marred by 1-star reviews.

The community Q&A also tends to be garbage. I understand that the average consumer is not going to have the same level of technical knowledge, and so I don't fault them for asking the questions. But it seems very strange that Apple allows their product page to be polluted by often confused questions, and also allows random people to answer those questions instead of qualified salespeople.
I had the same thing in January. My Macbook Pro 15'' early 2008 was replaced for free with a MacBook Pro 15'' mid-2010. Nice thing is that when I bought the Macbook Pro I took the matte display (I think it came for free). But now the matte screen costs some 150$ more than normal glossy display..

However, since I had the matte in my old one, the gave me the matte in the new one..which come with 1680x1050 :D
You could not compare US/EU pays. The tax system and the benefits vary widely.

For example in France: a salary of 50k€/year like me, you should add 30% of tax paid by the compagny you would have paid from your own salary in US.

This salary is brut. You could retire 20% of direct tax on it. So it give a ~3000€ net by month.

Benefits paid by tax:
- health insurance (70% rembursment for standard care like a flu, 100% for emergency or expensive care)
- retirements (vary in function of the employment status, but count 60% of the 10years best salaries)
- job insurance (6month to 80% of the previous salary, from memory, need to check)

All of this you have to pay from your US salary. If you want to compare a US salaty with an european one, you have to factor all the social benefits you would have to pay in US.
