Let's not have a "my area is more tolerant than yours" devolution.

There's been consideration quite recently in Germany, for example, that maybe it's not such a great idea that people need to put their photograph on their resumes, given hiring managers' tendencies to hire traditionally German-looking males over other races/sexes. Names are still an issue in both countries, but the US has tended away from such practice due to our expansive Employment Equal Opportunity laws.

But, etc. etc., everyone's got a ways to go for LGBT and other rights before we're all really inclusive.
Excellent tip re: power levels. FWIW though, if I'm reading this right, you can have high EIRP on most channels >= 52 : http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/c...

Little tidbits of knowledge like this are a big part of why I love HN. Now to go disable B/G on my home wifi and change the channel while wishing that home wifi routers shipped with low power-levels selected by default vs. the current situation of ISP-provided and out-of-the-box gear blasting out max power in every single apartment in my neighborhood, causing AirPlay to be unreliable across the living room.
Falcons are very fast birds.
Why does this require a specific linux dist?
This is either empty rhetoric or trolling. Favelas existed long before electronic computers were invented. Actually, in Brazil, a lot of people came out of poverty in the last 20 years, in spite of increases in automation and productivity.
I third this but the problem is it is easier to save the dollar that you already have in your hand than finding a new way to make it. So it is good to cut down on expenses without sacrificing much on life style
Move to a big city in a poor country.
Gotta wonder who this is targeted towards - the likes of VMWare definitely not as I am sure they've spent a lot of time optimizing everything that happens in kernel space inside their drivers and surely there's more than 24 API calls they'll need inside the kernel to get something like Fusion working.

Maybe Apple is planning to provide a built-in hypervisor and this is just a start of it. Or maybe this is just for old DOS/Win games that'll sell for $9.99 in the appstore.

Also a cursory look shows the API is rather Intel specific. That's fine for the status quo but if they ever switch CPU vendors again wonder how this will work out.
Same here, and if you speak German, the same applies to Yiddish.
Nomad is Hashicorp's container scheduler, a much simpler kubernetes.

Does task scheduling across nodes, out of the box and super easy to scale.

Kubernetes is just so big and you need to know a bit about a lot to make sure you know what the system is doing.
I don't care if people on LinkedIn want to marinade in their own sauce.

I believe most people keep their accounts for the same reason as me, which is to maintain network of people you worked with, contacts to recruiters, to get leads to potential job opportunities and to find people to recruit. It is nice to know when your colleague changed job or is looking for new one.

Other than those I completely ignore all other content.

I believe people who post those messages are either pressed to get some publicity or/and misunderstand what LinkedIn is for.
Can you give an example of where you find this "terrible?" I have never had an issue with it, and even if you don't like it aesthetically, I think the fact that you don't like looking at certain names (a subjective complaint) is objectively easier to overcome than being required to type one of the least ergonomic characters on the keyboard over and over, which is a matter of physical reality.
Few years ago I was traveling High Atlas mountains in Morocco and happen to spend week or so hanging out in Berber village and became friendly with interesting bunch of local people that meet every evening to talk in their local dialect.

Interestingly most of original language is now gone and consist of many Arabic words. I was very surprised that most common words (say Tuesday if my memory serve me right) were lost first, but many more complex words not. Also traditional script is now gone and was replaced with modern made up script.
Loads of them were intentionally killed by the Europeans.
pizza and noodles are also high on the "glycemic index" whatever that means, and probably should be avoided. I don't think all noodles are, but probably most of the noodles in america should be avoided?

Kombucha, especially if you brew your own and can adjust the tea used to make the perfect taste, is probably not doing any harm, and if any of the health benefits are true (i'm not sure, i never researched it, i just like the flavor) then awesome.

I don't want to comment more than a couple times in these threads, so i'll just put this here: I've been saying that the gut bacteria are probably more "us" than our brains are; i read a study about 16 or 17 years ago that showed that wheat and sugar (two grasses) when digested in human guts release agonists/antagonist/whatever for opioids which your brain takes up. So when you go on a diet that restricts sugar or wheat, you actually literally mentally and physically suffer withdrawal symptoms. This can make massive cravings take hold, which might lead to over-indulgence in, say, chocolate chip cookies or cake, which cause the dwindling gut fauna to bloom like crazy, making you feel great even though you broke your diet, and making it even harder to attempt to get your plan back on the rails again.

they're linking everything to gut biome now, alzheimers and a slew of other mental issues. I was so enraptured by the research and papers i read that i actually swore i'd have a farm before i was 45, producing excess food for anyone that wanted it. Nothing since then has contradicted the prior research, and as i said, there's new "traced to gut flora/fauna" papers being published what seems like biweekly.
It’s becoming big, especially because the previously tiny group managed to inject their views into everything from corporate hiring practices to school curriculums. So young people get indoctrinated with this way of thinking early, and by the time they’re college age, it is all they are surrounded by. And activists / proponents of these views are so hostile to any other way of thinking that any attempt to oppose it will be shut down, using aggressive dirty tactics if needed (like disrupting a speaker on a college campus or deplatforming on social media). Because enough people have become victims of this (a phenomenon known as “cancel culture”) many who disagree with these ideas don’t speak up for fear of being fired or shamed or ostracized.

Another avenue by which the group size is being increased is through organized groups like unions or nonprofits.
For example the National Educators Union (NEA) is the largest labor union in the US, and organizes teachers. They’ve adopted, due to the focused activism of that tiny loud group, all these same principles as their guidance and standards for their member teachers to follow. You can see quickly how this adds up to one set of ideas being amplified and everything else shutdown, society-wide. The result is that younger generations in the US are much more left leaning, particularly in terms of being “woke”, and they have a lot less diversity of ideas and opinions that they’re exposed to. This is reflected in political polls by age groups. And it isn’t restricted to any one location either, because groups like the NEA implement those changes nationwide. So the lunacy we see in SF does change the rest of the country, and it will change the world.

If I were a European I would definitely view American universities, news media, entertainment, and companies (particularly tech) with a lot of suspicion because of how much power they wield and how easily they can shape the culture and opinions of other countries. You see it already, with how progressive American activism is projected around the world through the Internet.
There are some interesting talks about keto and zero carb on Youtube about fat metabolism, cholesterol, fructose, etc.

Off the top of my head, I remember the "zero carb down under" channel where some are hosted, including Lustig's talks.

/r/KetoScience delves into the research, if you are so inclined.
About time. These multi-billion companies exploited open source software and essentially got free labour without having to pay salaries and taxes by cynically promoting open source movement manipulating developers into giving up their hard work for free (exposure). Hopefully the time will come that these companies will make big payouts to all people who where manipulated into contributing into "open source software" (meaning free labour for big corporations).
Although your argument stands up for situations under normal due process the special exemption cases like this shift the burden of education and responsibility to the judge. In a case where no due process is given the judge needs to be held to a much higher standard. In this situation the judge’s order is a tremendous exercise of power which needs to be balanced with comparable responsibility and accountability.
Tesla is a very good example of making good PR without anything specific new. They say, that they offer a performance package for an old model. But what is the real truth behind?

1. Improved battery performance:

Everybody knows that batteries degrade over time. Batteries have to be replaced after some time. Batteries have a memory effect including Lithium Ion, even when the industry wants to tell a different story.

Tesla is still offering replacement batteries for the Roadster. Because, if they would not, they would have a marketing problem. Tesla now decided to source the new cells in those battery packs. Which is a normal business decision, because the original battery pack was engineered at 2005/2006. That is almost 10 years ago. As such it is a normal business decision to source the new cells instead of sourcing the old cells with lower demand (increased prices).
Reminder: any carmaker supports their car models >10 years.

2. Improved tires:

Tires are improving year by year. The tires are not from Tesla. They are sourced from Godyear, Pirelli, Conti, or alike.

I have to replace my tires every 3 to 4 years as they are loosing their condition and are not fit for the roads anymore. Of course, I always choose the latest the version with the latest technology. That is a thing of ongoing business.

3. improved body (CW):

That is something you normally buy from some third party supplier, like AMG or Brabus for Mercedes, Alpine for BMW, …
There is no such thing for Tesla, so Tesla made it himself.

The paper Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children: A systematic review [1]:

> The literature reports that MIS-C typically manifests 3 -4 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection. This may explain why many children had positive antibodies to SARS- CoV-2, but negative RT-PCR at the time of MIS-C evaluation.

> While children with COVID-19 present with upper respiratory symptoms, MIS-C is distinguishable by fever (100%), vomiting (68.2%), and abdominal pain/diarrhea (73.8%). The abdominal pain in MIS-C can be so severe that in several cases patients were presumed to have appendicitis.

Young children seem to be protected from lower respiratory manifestations of COVID-19. My reading of this meta-analysis is that MIS-C is primarily a gastrointestinal manifestation of COVID-19 that has progressed to vascular and other tissues that express ACE2 receptors.

Perhaps we are placing too much emphasis on nasopharyngeal swab PCR tests and should consider anal swabs for children with gastrointestinal symptoms.

Justifying behaviors with evolutionary arguments doesn't make any sense. Stealing and raping generally increase your chances of reproducing, yet they're still immoral.

I don't think seeking wealthy mates is immoral because it doesn't hurt anyone. If someone enjoys that kind of thing, good for them. If they're in it for the conspicuous consumption, I just probably wouldn't enjoy hanging out with them, let alone marrying them.
I had considered making an app to create decision trees, but decided against it.
Not quite. You may have picked the right door all along. It clearly doesn't matter then which door Monty opens, since they both show goats.
Best way to suck: don't even start. Figure its hopeless and keep your day job.
HTTP ERROR: 404

Problem accessing /. Reason:

NOT_FOUND
Agreed. I've noticed this on other threads, thought this one will most likely put it into it's sharpest relief.
So I hear the single founder thing thrown around a lot, and as I'm currently working on an idea I struggle with the fear of taking on a second founder simply to get around the stigma of being a one-man team. I am a highly technical business man. I can code, I can do strategy, I can read a P&L. Design is the only big gap in skillset and it seems like bringing on a co-founder simply for design work would be over the top. I do wish I could find someone to work with on this project, but I don't know anyone personally that I would consider for the job and I don't know that I want to start a business with a stranger. What to do? Anybody else in Colorado in a similar situation? :)
What has quantity to do with quality and usability?

Don't get me wrong ,I think that Android will grow tremendously and do great, but that is not the point.
It is like on the PC/notebook platform where we have a much bigger Windows user group, but there is the x% Mac users.
After 20 years Windows last year I switched to Mac and I do understand now why some people like it better. I think the iPhone is to some degree similar. Good or bad, but having the hardware, OS and application framework from one company does offer quality and ease. I hope that Android will pick up so the iPhone also gets cheaper and better.
Groupon's "flash in the pan" days are behind it. They created a new niche on the Internet and now, a very large number of clones are nipping at their heels.

Online, Groupon's business is about leadgen. Offline, Groupon's business is about selling the exposure they can give to a local business. Both their online leads and their access to offline local businesses are quickly being diluted.

If Groupon takes funding (for the right reasons), they will have thought up a great new product that contributes to the new vertical they have created in a unique, limited way. Based on their "Groupon Stores" idea, I don't think that they have have this in them.

I wrote a blog article a while ago that describes what I think is the only natural course for Groupon: http://robisit.com/idea-of-the-day-saturate-the-groupon-mode...

In my mind, Groupon needs to do what they've been doing. They need to move hard and fast as far into every hyper local market that they can. They need to refine their leadgen, their delivery and their formula for local businesses to succeed.

As an outsider looking in, I don't think that Groupon has the capability to move hard or fast enough. As a result of these things, I think that Groupon should either sell now or obtain enough funding to hire a significant number of sales people. Personally, I'd sell.
I wrote this comment for Drupal, I seems it's also true for Silverstripe. i'm sure it's a nice CMS, but doesn't give a modern experience when working with content.

"As a rule, if the CMS puts you away from your page and to a list of "posts" to edit with TinyMCE, it's not modern. Atleast in my book."
Users often say "My email is in my profile" since they assume the email field in their profile is visible by others. I would make the labels more specific as to what is public/hidden.
If a person is walking around in the outside world, someone will sooner or later make some kind of large or small request of them. I can't see it as a terrible imposition for that person to be you.
This is one of the reasons I really like working in Rails. An exception blows the page up properly, and kicks into my exception notifier (sends me an email with the environment and stacktrace) and can display an error to the user. PHP's "soft on errors" approach is just a timebomb waiting to go off. "Fail hard, fail fast" is less forgiving, but ultimately, helps me sleep a lot better at night.
NerdKits (http://www.nerdkits.com/). Started with roommate co-founder in senior year of college with $200 of parts, continued part-time while I still in school / doing Masters degree, and now full-time since graduation (almost a year and a half now). Profitable and a lot of fun.
You raise an excellent point here. Any custom site implementation is going to require some custom code to nail down the user interaction. This is a fact of life regardless of what CMS you're using.
Great example of how the TSA's attempts at spin on their blog are alienating people. They keep quoting the CBS poll that found that 80% of the people are in favor of scanners (if you don't tell them about the naked photos or radiation risk or lack of effectiveness), and ignoring the CBS poll from the next day that came to the opposite conclusion -- that 80% opposes the scanners once they know the fact.

obviously both are unscientific internet polls but repeatedly citing the one and not the other is just so transparent ...
You can demonstrate pointer arithmetic by showing how you would work with the strstr function. It's the clearest and most understandable reason for someone to see why you'd even discuss this topic I think. I talk to some people without C experience and they hear that idea and get scared. I usually explain how strstr works and that seems to always make sense to them.

Good luck!
Which is why having multiple streams is the the key. Once fans love your music, you can also sell branded t-shirts, hats, posters and whatever else. You could also write a book of your songs, a "photography" book of your album cover designs, tour and do concerts, etc. etc.

You don't have to earn the $100 profit from each fan from just the core of your 'production' - think more sideways.

Right now I earn from Book sales, YouTube, Patreon, affiliate marketing, sponsorships, speaking engagements, merchandise (I need to expand), private one on one consulting calls, etc.
Use an abstraction layer between the virtualized block device and the underlying storage system, and only write used blocks to disk, and return zeroes for all unused blocks.

You don't need to wipe, zero, or TRIM anything to not leak customer A data to customer B.
> The other thing that we do all the time in everyday life is a quotient, and as far as I know no programming language has a good way to represent that: something as basic as a fraction

Er, fractions are a directly-supported (core or stdlib) type in many languages. Including:

Scheme family languages (numbers work this way by default, unless you introduce irrational numbers), Ruby (doesn't default to rational math by default generally for numbers, but has syntax for rational literals and rationals use rational math), Raku, Python, Clojure, Go, Haskell, and, well, lots of languages have core/stdlib support even if they don't have a literal syntax or Scheme-style default-to-exact-rational behavior.
It seems like Amazon et al have full-fledged SDNs while DigitalOcean is a little more primitive. Even customer-level VLANs are new. Prior to that, "private networking" was just a way to save on transit quota; you shared a LAN with everyone else in the datacenter.

Speculating and recalling old memories here, but: floating IP is implemented as an additional IP on an existing interface. DHCP can't assign multiple IPs for the same MAC. So there's got to be some DigitalOcean magic in the base images to figure out that a floating IP is assigned and configure the interface for it. You might be able to replicate this yourself, they just don't want to be responsible for support.

Perhaps over time they will grow a more complex network fabric that will enable floating IPs to be their own DHCP-enabled interfaces straight on VMs, instead of the "dumb" forwarding rules they appear to be today. But also perhaps the lack of such things is why DigitalOcean is cheaper than Amazon.

If you need clarification, isn't this similar to Deep Thought?
> The billionaire said he did not choose his investments on the basis of whether they would be worth more to others.

Entertain the notion, just for one second (even if you don't think it will happen), that people are envisioning a future where the bitcoin is just, you know... used? In that context, it's worth more to _them_, not "others".

Also, didn't these people take a risk to earn their level of wealth? Starting a company can absolutely destroy people and their families, yet we encourage people to take these kinds of calculated risks everyday.
And investment in preserving nature, learning from it, and investment into human beings and nurturing their capabilities dwarfs all the investment in technology.

And I don't mean nurturing capabilities to make them drones spending all their energy working for corporates, but for themselves and being able to pursue their own causes. And believe me, we won't need new shoes and new apps and perfect games every week if we are not being drained of our energy 50hrs/wk. We can and will happily do with much less if what we have is not cheap trash hurting our bodies and souls, manufactured by suffering working class people (please look up suicide rates in chinese factories and in working class communities in america).
Not to be nitpicky but I thought it was open to anyone if you are travelling within the right area?
Did anyone consider that this might have been dreamed up by someone who is pro-Linux who thought that the anti-MS sentiment hasn't been high enough lately, so they stirred the pot? Yeah, I kind of doubt it, too... or maybe this comment was meant to stir up pro-MS sentiment amongst the people that don't want to be manipulated by pro-Linux anti-MS reverse-psychology.
Perhaps it's necessary but not sufficient: if you have zero lawyers, press, or government officials on your side, marching is a great way to get thrown in jail for "rioting" and have your reputation destroyed.
I predict about 10 minutes before my asshole friends have ordered me 100 boxes of Tide by pushing this button about 100 times as a gag.
Is that true for Merrifield/Moorefield? AFAIK they're pretty close, but only in the phone chips.
I do want uMatrix ported to Firefox. The developer who ported uBlock[1] has now made it more easy for me to work on a port of uMatrix, as I have now a model on how to proceed + a lot of code which can readily be shared with uMatrix. Once it is ported, in all likelihood I will myself go back to use Firefox as my main browser.

They generally get around it by opening the popup when you click anywhere on the page.
It's not a shock; if anything I'm surprised they didn't shut down the issue tracker altogether. It's been little more than a glorified pastebin of generally poor-quality, unreviewed reports.

Perhaps this is a sign someone's going to start triaging things, but I'd doubt it..
The last device sold by Google that now runs an Android release of 4.2 or earlier was (afaik) the Nexus S - which was released in 2010. I think it's reasonable to stop support for a particular device after something like 4 years.

Yes, there are other 3rd party manufacturers that sold devices based on such outdated versions up until recently. But why should it be Google's task to provide updates for these devices? That sounds like something that the manufacturers are supposed to do.
You say "bugs" but many of these are clearly feature requests. There's a pretty big difference.
Why would Android 2.3 be heavily used, even in embedded systems, and if it is, why isn't it the OEMs' problem?
The legislature and judiciary soon fell to stasis and stagnation. Nothing could be achieved in the face of so many "neigh" votes.
Could you show such a research? Because you have been saying it all around the thread, some proof would be handy.
