Regarding #3, I'm working on a project [0][1] that might be able to achieve that. It's not a direct goal of the project, but could be a subset of the primary goal. The primary goal is to be able to take a system description and be able to run it anywhere, be it public clouds or private hardware.

The base image is CoreOS (so, not a uni-kernel, but still pretty sweet). You can search Docker Hub for containers and create multi-datacenter, (and soon) multi-provider clouds. I do think uni-kernels may be the way to go, but AFAICT the proper tooling just doesn't exist yet.

It's still in pre-alpha, so there are many amenities that I plan to add that don't exist yet, but it will launch clouds (what I'm calling a set of related CoreOS clusters), create fleet units, and start your applications.

If anyone's interested in helping work on it, let me know or send a PR. All the code is free (MIT) and on github (link on top-right of site).

I rarely crimp cable anymore, but having a quality crimp tool makes a world of difference. I picked-up an Amp crimp tool secondhand for under $50. The tool is precisely built, very durable, and produces repeatable results. It's very frustrating to have a termination ruined by a poorly-made crimper.

Practice is the only way to get really good at it. I did several thousand RJ-45 terminations and a similar number of punches into 110-style jacks back in the late 90's, early 2000's. After you've done enough muscle-memory kicks-in and you get consistent, good results. If you just need a few crimps purchase pre-made certified patch cables and you'll save time (money) and frustration.

"they hijack HTTPS sessions"

Trolling much? They aren't hijacking anything. Opera Mini is a thin client (which lets it run on just about any phone, including old and crappy ones), so they have no choice but to pass everything through the rendering engine on their servers.
Teaching sounds like one of the hardest jobs in the world. You get it from the kids, from the parents, from your superiors, from the government, from the media. I think I have at least a vague feeling for that spark of humanity that drives most good teachers, but I'm just astonished that it's enough for such a rare event to keep them doing what they do day-in day-out.
More than 1/3 of Opera's revenue is from the desktop browser. It's simply false to claim that it exists on the basis of mobile browsers (superb or not).
Why is this being served over port 8800?
What's wrong is that one feature gets one score, and another feature gets a much higher score. Scores are not based on the number of supported features, but on higher scores for certain features.
In general, the taxpayer ID used to open the account is the taxpayer that owns the account. I am the treasurer of a small non-profit, and the non-profit's EIN is listed on our checking account. Having my SSN on there--except as identification that I'm authorized to perform transactions on the account--would have made me an owner, which is not what we wanted. Check with your bank to be certain, but I would change the account's EIN to your LLC's.
Ah, gotcha. Well, I have people in Marketing updating the CMS, if that tells you anything. :-)

Some stuff like "moving" pages confuses them, and I have to keep explaining that a page is really just a thin container for the template and a list of contents. Thankfully, that comes up rarely.
This is funny. I worked for dyndns over the summer and keeping this up is one of their major concerns. I think it runs on several different servers around the world, anycasted. Tons of router manufacturers from around the world put something like the above snippet with checkip in their code, as well as people like you and me who use this as a quick hack.
It reminds me of a guy I used to work with. He two-finger typed looking at his keyboard all the time, but the code he did end up writing was exactly what was needed. Consistency and quality was much more important than cold, hard "productivity".
But... how is that a career path... specialist vs. generalist?

I mean I'm a generalist, and if you look at my 20 years in the industry, I'm a generalist because of the trail of work I've left behind; as in work, all of which needed to happen. For example, in the 2000s, we mostly used PHP and MySQL, today, it's very different. So being a specialist with, let's say, 10+ years experience, would be quite difficult. I'm sure even the C++ people can say C++ has changed a lot in 20 years(?) and are doing things radically different today?

How could I be a React specialist with 20 years in the industry? Forget the past?

Well, I guess "Achievement Unlocked: Drank Pepsi 5 Days in a Row" is where we're heading after all. I, for one, know that this has potential to change the way I go about my day-to-day life.
It sounds like you're asking asking whether some regions of a sample could be superconducting while others are normal phase. This can occur in heterogeneous materials as in a Josephson's junction. Pretty cool stuff when you look at it. An unknown 23 yr old grad student faced down a two-time Nobel prize winner and was right!
It is important to separate the author from the ideas, regardless of whether we agree with the conclusion.

The non-public market is worse for retail investors. The 31% price premium and lack of liquidity are facts.

Sox has made it a much more challenging step to go public. IPOs are down.

The valuation bubble is red herring- there are always overvalued shares out there. However, Sox is contributing to a larger private market in shares which is disadvantageous to the retail investor.

I cannot stress enough how much value customers will perceive from a few days of work with Twilio. You can have remote crews punch in and punch out on their cell phones. This reduces paperwork and saves labor costs.

On my Leaf I can theoretically send a route to the car. And theoretically check things like state of charge. These might work. Or might not. Random API RNG seems to dictate that.
Hence I included 'Politely', I should have also included I've been doing this for ~ 2 years.

My primary mode of communication is email, 100% for professional communication. Yes, there are people who are offended when I impose such communication criteria and I've lost business opportunities.

But thoughtful communications due to non-real-time nature of email has qualitatively increased and not having to touch the phone often has resulted in better physical and mental health(the whole reason for me making these major changes in first place)[1].

Ruby DSLs still look like Ruby code, too; it just has a laxer lexer. For a reality check, look at DSLs in Forth or Prolog sometime. Many Ruby DSLs are :covered with? accent "marks", though, like Romanized Vietnamese* . You're probably just used to it.

I'd make the argument that it was a gift; it was freely given and on my property. They knowingly transferred it to him.
The issue is that 'danger' is in the eye of the beholder. There are plenty of people who would love to ban advocacy of Socialism or Communism. There are people who want to ban 'hurtful' speech. And people who want to ban 'blasphemous' speech.
In the end, they are all self-interested parties who want to ban speech that they disagree with.
There is no magic wand that can ban harmful speech without creating a framework for authoritarian meddling, with very few exceptions, which are already on the books.
Definitely over. A claimed 500mi range on the upper model with three large motors is a LOT more copper, steel, and lipo cells than the X.

You don't need to own a pickup truck just because you need to haul or tow things three of five times per year. You can own a more economical car and rent a pickup if / when you need it.

> There's no idea which peripheral is being manipulated.

The Arduino-y function usually maps internal pin mappings (and to the pin numbers on the given PCB. It's quite clear if you know what you're compiling the code for. Not to mention that how a pin-remapping function works usually doesn't matter, the resulting abstraction is very nice to use.

> pioc.oer tells you that you're using the PIOC peripheral, oer tells you're your manipulating the oer register specifically

And why should I care about that information when I already have the abstraction written before? The Rust code is much much worse in terms of ease-of-use in this case - manually having to look up how pins on the board map to internal registers is cumbersome. Some of the confusion about the names might also stem from that I expect consistent capitalization when dealing with registers, why would `pioc` be lowercase if it's in reality a register being modified? It's actually weird. I won't even begin how horrible-looking the "expanded" form is, compared to the 2-line C equivalent.

One more thing I just now realized, the Rust team made an incredibly bad decision picking the symbols, for example for mutable references. I don't see anyone with any good amount of C experience ever wanting to use Rust if they have to re-learn what `&` really means - useless waste of time for most. It's akin to designing a new safer bike but switching the handlebar direction. And in the end, the amount of symbols in Rust, combined with how annoying they're to type on non-US layouts, combined with the (wrongly) carried over connotations from other languages makes it a terrible replacement for what it's advertised for.

> So, for instance, trying to configure the watchdog timer twice on the MCU I'm using will not compile because you don't even have that original object around anymore.

That is very cumbersome and illogical. Reconfiguration is quite common.

> There's no idea which peripheral is being manipulated.

I think that's just your unfamiliarity with the platform and the example you chose. If you'd write the exact same code you brought as an example in C it'd be much clearer than the Rust code and just two lines. I'd love to see the asm of the Rust code.
So Microsoft was agile in the mid 90s....
Sorry for being pedantic, but no - these are probabilities not random variates. If the probability of either alone is p then the probability of one or the other or both is:

1 - (1-p)(1-p) = 1 - (1-2p+p^2) = 2p - p^2 ~ 2p

(where the last step is because p^2 << p because p << 1; the basic idea is that it's "certainty minus the probability that neither occur")

Hardly ridiculous. Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level but might as well be considered legal at this point.

I wake up at 7. Then take a shower and create 2 sachets of microwavable porridge, read something on reddit or hn / watch youtube scishow during breakfast.
Around 8:15-30-(45) go through the door and take 20 minutes bus and 35 minutes of tube then walk 5 minutes. Usually listening to music or some podcasts but the tube is so loud I can't hear anything.

At work from 9:30-10, try code something, review pull requests, tickets. Trying to concentrate.
Lunch from around 13 until 14. Repeat previous coding part.
Go home around 17:30 - 18.

Usually just reading and watching videos/ IM-ing. Sometimes coding if I have a good idea for my side project. Or creating content to my site project. But this is not longer than 1 hour, and usually not even exists.
At 23:00 I go to sleep.

I posted mine because everyone else's was like my dream, hehe.

It’s unfortunate that Go’s standard package `flag` doesn’t follow the standard either, given the language is otherwise a good fit for command-line tools.

TSMC are the only guys who can do 5nm, and everybody wants 5nm. It's not like you can just push a button on your AWS console and get a new 5nm fab.

The heart isn't responsible for pumping blood through your body all by itself, it's supported by the skeletal-muscle pump - but that only works when your're moving. Hanging the right way up is in fact even worse and can kill you in less than an hour through something called a "suspension trauma".
Another Dvorak typist here! Personal funny anecdote: I learned vim modal navigation after I learned Dvorak, and never bothered to remap the keys. Totally debilitating if I'm using a coworkers QWERTY keyboard for vim navigation, but at least I can still navigate on remote servers without reconfiguring anything!
The problem with Amazon is that despite touting an open API, their infrastructure internals and practices are a trade secret, so the likes of Eucalyptus are having to play catchup. In other words, I cannot replicate their infrastructure in my own data center, even I had the money to pay them. I suspect this is the main reason that Heroku didn't move off Amazon, and not the fact that Amazon was providing them great value for money.

There is definitely value in platforms, but those platforms should be built on completely open standards with no vendor lock in or influence, as is the case with OpenStack for example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/02/10/rackspace_buys_opens...

If you didn't watch my talk, I should point out that I'm working on Akshell (http://www.akshell.com), which is itself a platform provider, so I am in fact agreeing with you.
TBH Amazon is so bad at this point that turning off Reddit is as good as trying to keep it running. Of course then you need to deal with the increased suicide rate.
Mine is worse. I booked Tues-Thurs off. I only have internet in work at the moment. I'm going to miss reddit now and be without internet until I return to work on the 3rd of May. Stupid Sky and their stupid take forever switch overs.
Agreed. Additionally, Janet Yellen must have been feeling quite annoyed, since the lawmakers asking her about this probably know full well that the Fed has nothing to do with that sort of thing.
Moderation/censorship/whatever you want to call it is a heavy-handed solution to a societal problem. The fact is that science isn't a linear process and the general consensus will flip all the time and this is normal. Coordinating a public health response while the science is still being conducted in real time necessitates some educated guesses which might be wrong. An effective response also requires adaptation in the face of new evidence.

All of this uncertainty is in direct opposition to how large groups of humans behave. There was a HN post recently using MSFT Azure as an example about why executive/C-level communication is so repetitive and basic; you simply can't announce something to a thousand people and expect them to understand context and nuance. The example there was that the execs zeroed in on new features above all else, resulting in tons of bugs. But trying to focus on both features and bugs was a lose-lose, people would find excuses to not do things using whichever focus was more convenient.

Executive Q&As at big companies are another example. I'm not sure why we still do them. It's simply not possible to have a deep dialogue in this environment. You wind up with disgruntled employees tossing up call-out questions, CEOs dodging any sort of concrete answer, and nobody walks away better informed. Let me be clear, I loved these at a smaller company where the CEO actually knew me personally, but they are a colossally cringe waste of time at a 2k+ person company.

The big platforms are also in direct opposition to one of the solutions to this problem, which is breaking down communication to small groups of people that actually know each other, and rationally discussing context and nuance is possible. Twitter is built around having the entire internet respond to a tweet. Of course this results in chaos.

Moderation is the only solution. It doesn't have to be balanced, as long as people stick around and keep using the service.
Correct. That's the sales bullpen.
I don't understand how the Sony hack relates to the proposed changes to the CFAA. If the attacker was North Korea--as suggested by the administration (which I don't believe)--then how would increasing penalties for "hacking" or developing (or even sharing) "hacking tools" make a difference? As if we had any jurisdiction whatsoever over there or that the laws of the United States would somehow deter foreign attackers.

If they want to increase penalties for anything it should be for companies failing to secure their systems. Attackers can often use very sophisticated methods to make their way into internal networks but once they're in it's run-of-the-mill, patched-three-years-ago vulnerabilities that let them do the most damage.

There's a lot of negligence going on inside corporate networks in regards to information security and one of the justifications I often hear is that they can't justify increased spending (or spending any money whatsoever) on IT security when the costs of an attack are unknown. If we apply significant punitive damages then the costs would be much easier to calculate and justify.

So, this is the justification for having a horrible file format?
Practically, openID is being replaced by oauth. A decade ago authentication and authorisation were quite separate concepts. This has been replaced with a realisation that 'being authorised to use a particular account' (Google Account, Twitter, FB, etc) is sufficient to prove ownership of that account and therefore identity.
Maybe there is no difference. You said when "difficult" you go verbal. Well language, be it natural or math, is the means by which to think rationally and highly conscious. On the ohther hand creative thinking is more done in "pictures". I think they are calles schemas. Einstein said that he first created ideas by thinking physiscs and then rationalised over it by thinking math.
AWS is definitely aware that their costs can be prohibitive for brand new startups. Check out AWS Activate[1]. If you can demonstrate that you're a legit startup, there's a decent chance you can get free AWS credits, not to mention free support.

Physicists reject that thought experiments have value? I'd say the context in which I most frequently hear the phrase "thought experiment" (or "Gedankenexperiment") is physics! Indeed, that is historically where the term originated. (And we must also consider examples like the very one of Einstein's you pointed out).

I also don't see any reason why thought experiments and mathematical arguments should be thought of as exclusive... I would think an important part of a thought experiment is often its mathematical analysis.
We can't rule it out, no. Just comment that it does not seem necessary at this point: Moustache's doxing of scout/Cirrus shows that she could have been easily busted, we know that she was subverted early on (it was rumored at the time, in fact - 'emailgate'), once the account was taken over, then it is perfectly capable of de-anonymizing a server (de-anonymizing is really easy; I've de-anonymized or helped de-anonymize at least 2 blackmarkets myself, and actually, just today someone has found another way SR1 could have been de-anonymized easily, although I can't go into details), and currently the seller/employee busts are consistent with the Freedom Hosting attack, which no one needs to ascribe to parallel construction (since we know it was an obsolete NSA attack which got reused).
