Well technically clients are also part of distributed systems, but you are right Postgres is different than all other systems he analyzed.
Huh... Just thinking about what a smart router COULD do...

What if this thing allowed you to punch holes in the firewall through the app, wherever you are? That'd be fairly nifty...

And what if it had VPN built in to the router and the app? That'd be nice as well...

Viewing access log files remotely?

Hmmm - what if it has parental locks? Like, a whitelist of websites for THIS device (kid's tablet), but dad's phone and mom's phone can do anything...

I also can't help but wonder if this thing has Google Fi BUILT IN to it. Meaning, anyone driving by on your street gets to send some packets through your router with really fast switching.... If you allow it. And if you have Google Fiber (gigabit), why wouldn't you allow it?

Oh, and the other one that occurs to me... With all of those antennas... Do you think they might actually be able to estimate your radial location, relative to the device? To some amount of accuracy? Might be interesting. Probably estimate distance, too... Put them together...

If I were slightly evil, I'd be thinking about designing a router that I could market to small businesses. Walk in to your Starbucks, and the guy behind the counter automatically sees your picture, and your regular orders up on the screen...
To your first question: they're rushed out of the door in a hurry to catch the next trend, and have poor cooling and poor software. To your second question: other high quality routers don't enable Google to spy on you quite so effortlessly.
Thank you! Just to be sure, Spinpunch https://www.spinpunch.com/ made Mattermost, we're just working to package it up in GitLab. To enable this they added OAuth and PostgreSQL support to Mattermost.
I'm guessing this was cleaning the toddler affected bathroom(s).

Have you seen what young child of the correct age will do to a bathroom in a single session? It's amazing! There's always number one, and possibly number two spread around. I still don't know how so much mess can be made without intentional effort.

Source: I work from home, with children, clean bathrooms.
The trauma still happened to the kid, whether he remembers it or not. If there are clinical studies that show psychological trauma at age 2 or 3 does not matter because of memory, I'll gladly be wrong, but I don't want to inflict distress in my kids. Not to mention seeing your kids being miserable crushes your spirits as well.
Why Mattermost over Rocket.chat, Let's Chat, or Kandan (as listed at https://about.gitlab.com/direction/)?
There are different classifications, EB1, EB2, EB3, EB5, etc.. I'm wondering what you used as the founder of a startup (and who your lawyer was if it wasn't EB1 or EB5)
Agreed. Found that none of the routers I've ever bought came with QoS that actually worked, or at least made a noticeable difference.

On a related note, there are an alarmingly large number of hosts listening on port 23 (unencrypted telnet) on the internet: https://www.shodan.io/search?query=port%3A23

Most of them seem to be interfaces to network switches.
I suspect it's more about the weight being concentrated (liek how you can throw a wadded up ball of paper farther than you can throw an unfolded sheet). I also think floppies weigh about 20% more.
Honestly, this seems awesome. :)

Mattermost just needs an Android & iOS app selection.
The 13 antennas and form factor is kind of cool, but after that I'd rather install OpenWrt and if going for home automation, my own server.

Wonder how rootable Google will leave it.

Can someone explain the call me maybe reference. Was it a movie or a song?
There is some of that, some of the trends in language development and also some stuff about hardware+ makes my eye twitch a bit. Of late it's made to consider that language designers seem to be really focused on batch calculation speeds. Where real time code is 50% about producing side effects with the correct timing and sequence.

+ Friend of mine that works on high end video processors mentioned getting into a pissing match with the hardware guys because the particular processor they were designing had back ground machinery that would run and 'stop the world' for a ~ms. He say 'you can't do that' and they respond with 'the benchmarks run fine, go away'
Where WiFi jamming is technically also legal if it does not affect any external party.

I'll concede the possibility that my understanding is incorrect but jamming is flat out illegal(for non-government entities). It's illegal to even sell jamming devices. I remember a few years ago, the FCC started threatening movie theaters that had been jamming cell phones.
The router is cloud configured from your mobile device, that is how it works.

Some cloud services for the device are actually optional. But AFAIK you still need a Google Account.

>There is still plenty of room to grow and improve. Africa and Asia have huge amounts of land that are nowhere as dense as the US, let alone Europe.

You might want to re-think that. Places where people do not live are generally like that for a reason. How much fresh water is there? Do we really want to have more places on the planet under water stress? Do we want to ship water there? Is it hot as hell there? How much of a persons income is needed to survive with modern conveniences? What is the carbon cost of living there?

>We need to rethink how money is created and distributed.

That has to happen, but will it happen? For example, after the horse was replaced by the car, did we keep millions of horses around? No, there numbers dropped significantly. If technology can truly replace huge numbers of people, the people left with the capital may think that getting rid of huge portions of the population is a valid outcome. The truly scary thing is it may actually be a valid answer.
I spent two days getting the thing to run AIM using TWO Cybikos, one plugged into your computer and another attached to the first. Chatting wirelessly on AIM really was a glimpse of the future.

In NYC, all the uber eats "drivers" are either on bikes or on foot. They usually have a hot storage bag and a cold storage one, and they're stocked with all the items available for the daily menu. Pretty good experience, generally, though I've found the caviar fast bite experience to be generally better (it's exactly the same idea as Uber eats, they partner with many of the same restaurants, same delivery model).

>That system is called "licensing" and SmartCity is completely free to apply for a license to own their own slice of spectrum.

In this context, (hotel internet) it doesn't seem reasonable to ask them to start manufacturing their own wireless cards that support a wider spectrum, since everybody staying at the hotel would need one.
I would translate that into 'potential clients who are concerned that you are not going to be around for the long term, be able to provide support, offer assurances on security, data integrity etc'

Frankly any client that isn't interested in all of the above is a bad client.
The US also has this; we call them poll watchers.

My point was just that at some point, you have to trust that someone is paying attention. Paper doesn't magically solve that problem.

It's unfortunate future-planning. It's impossible to know what the future holds but there is some level of precedent to help decide. Although with no guarantees, a job that has been around for hundreds of years is a bit more likely to stick around than a new job field that was just created 2 months ago.

I'd go in debt to become a carpenter before I went in debt learning a JS Framework, as an example.

The Austin menu is really strange. Gordoughs, our famous blow-your-gut Donut burger place has one item available and it's not even a burger. It's a tiny dessert item. I use Favor, Eat24, etc all the time. If the menu is this minimal I doubt I'll ever use uberEATS.
>I have no doubt we can create more office-based bullshit roles to offset the bulk of those losses

In the U.S. we are creating software to get rid of those tasks. Yes, we'll hire a few programmers to make the software, and then cut 20 or 30 people out of an office. They don't get hired back. The company puts that money in the pocket of the owners. Every year the hardware and software gets cheaper to produce too.
From my own usage, Caviar Fastbite, Uber eats and Postmates have significantly reduced the amount of money I spend on seamless.

Please do not use this service. Uber is a very unethical company that does not treat their drivers (the ones doing all of the work) well.
Does anybody know if this has been emulated? I think it'd be an interesting little system to mess around on.
I dont know, but it's my property and it seems logical that as long as they know they cant make that call, the decision is theirs and so is the liability.
> Even without that, any good professional will have plenty of failures anyway.

That's the main thing to me. Why waste people's time on known dead ends when you can fail on things that matter, together?

It seems self-centered to think that the best way to learn is to make the same mistakes that you did yourself. It also assumes you can predict every problem they'll encounter well enough to precisely ration out additional obstacles.

Pardon my french, but how the fuck is that legal? That's seriously messed up at a fundamental level.
Ike's Menage-a-trois is $12.21 on menu, which is actually $1.21 more than Uber (although comes with chips, so that evens out).

As far as logistics, I would bet dollars to dimes there are drivers with a large stock of all/many of the items; having them return to a restaurant ad hoc for each order would make this financially unworkable. Sprig, Bento, and Rocketspoon all work this way -- drivers are simply given a next destination to go to and dish out in-car inventory.
FWIW you should look into Kurento. It's kind of a pain to set up, but would likely do the job.

Honest-to-god question: Why all those web chat servers? I feel something very similar to the shift from Usenet to web forums is happening. Is IRC really so hard to use?
We dont fully understand childhood memory. The "skeptic" community is often fast to quote that kids remember nothing and be very reductionist but these hasty conclusions aren't justified by the evidence. Children do have early memories, the question is what quality are these memories and how do they affect them. There's no magical amnesia that happens or some pathways that light up on your third birthday that lets memory work. Its all a long and gradual process.

http://www.slate.com/articles/life/family/2012/04/children_s...

Far from having no memories at all, very young children remember a lot like adults. In early infancy, the neural structures crucial for memory are coming online: the hippocampus, which is, very roughly, in charge of storing new memories; and the prefrontal cortex, which is, very roughly, in charge of retrieving those memories.

But these neural regions and their connecting pathways are still developing. And they capture only part of the present as it flows by.

I'm in Boston (well, Cambridge to be precise) and am not familiar with Favor. How does it differ from Grubhub, Foodler et al?
I don't see how this is possibly true. Every single time I ride in an Uber or Uber X, I always ask the drivers how they like driving for Uber, and what their experience has been like, and every single one of them has responded positively (out of around 20 times I've asked).

If they don't like how they are treated, they can stop driving for Uber. It's not my moral responsibility to police Uber's business practices for the sake of their drivers.

Nice that you found that page! We considered all of them. Rocket.chat and Mattermost seemed like the best products. I don't like that Rocket.chat is made with Meteor and therefore Mongo only, we already ship and love PostgreSQL. Also, I met Ian from the Mattermost team at YC camp and we hit it off together.
> This takes some processing power which not all routers have a lot of.

I've set up and hand rolled my own Linux-based routers in the past on cheap leftover hardware (first gen Celeron). Adding QoS introduced literally zero noticeable CPU overhead.

I'm not saying you're wrong but you're clearly overselling the computational cost of this feature.
The first time you use Pocket it's pretty clear that it's a third party service (and it's multiple clicks to get it working)

I wouldn't really call it a full desktop. Intel DQ77KB mini-itx, lga1155 with dual Intel nics is what we use for $100 off Amazon. Pair it with a cheap Celeron and some used laptop memory off ebay. At the wall ~15W.

IIRC this was basically the "other half" of reader view, though I could be wrong.

Yeah, I'd like Pocket to have switchable backends too. I've heard some positive things on this, but I don't recall anything concrete.

"Completely remove" is a pretty nebulous concept, really. You can drag it out of sight to the customizable UI holding area, and the code is lazy-loaded, so it's pretty much gone. One could also argue that any extension isn't gone because one can open the addons page and install it again. Yes, that's different and the addons page is on the Internet while customizeable UI isn't, but it illustrates the point that "completely remove" is nebulous and not a useful metric. For all practical purposes, you can remove Pocket. Does it matter if there's still Pocket related code in the Firefox binary? (which isn't being run or even accessed?) Probably not.

Of course YC provides "support for its founders to attend the program". It funds them to do so. Nonprofits get the same funding.

I don't know about this case, but the article mentions "the meager monthly stipend she allowed herself", which suggests that Julia chose to spend as much of the funding as possible on the nonprofit itself, despite considerable inconvenience. If that's so, I admire her for it, and it's a strong signal of authenticity for Zidisha.

IRC might not, but an irc -client- can. :)
No, but these web chats provide features that IRC doesn't, provides them better, or automatically.

Permanent history, embedded images and other media, persistent notifications without a permanent client logged in, no additional software needed, formatted text, more intuitive access controls come to mind.
My point was simply a comparison, yes I should have provided my depth. But at $200 for a premium consumer grade router you are definitely within the realm of a nice pfsense (or alternative) system.

I have literally no idea. I didn't think that a landlord could throw you out if you don't do a task for them.
I made something that compiles it to Javascript: https://gist.github.com/Matheus28/ce76f1f7f5e2b046b1fd

The original idea was compiling it to GLSL, but I got lazy. But it should be pretty easy to make it generate GLSL.

It doesn't do constant folding or any smart optimizations, but it should be pretty easy to code that in.

Example:

This:

x12/-y12/-a6+8*x12/-d*y12/-d*+qq82**p112/x-d*-112/y-d*-*d*d*d**dd*+dd*+dd*+

Generates:

var tmp0 = (x - (1 / 2))
var tmp1 = (y - (1 / 2))
var tmp2 = ((1 / 2) - x)
var tmp3 = ((1 / 2) - y)
var tmp4 = ((1 - (tmp2 * tmp2)) * (1 - (tmp3 * tmp3)))
var tmp5 = (tmp4 * tmp4)
var tmp6 = (tmp5 * tmp5)
var tmp7 = (perlin(((Math.atan2((x - (1 / 2)), (y - (1 / 2))) + 6) * 8), (Math.sqrt(Math.sqrt(((tmp0 * tmp0) + (tmp1 * tmp1)))) * (8 * 2))) * (tmp6 * tmp6))
var tmp9 = (tmp7 + (tmp7 * tmp7))
var tmp11 = (tmp9 + (tmp9 * tmp9))

return (tmp11 + (tmp11 * tmp11))
function perlin(b,c){function g(b,c,a){a=a*a*a*(a*(6*a-15)+10);return(1-a)*b+a*c}function d(d,e){var a=2*(256*e+d);return(b-d)*gradient[a]+(c-e)*gradient[a+1]}b%=256;c%=256;var e=b&255,f=c&255,h=e+1&255,k=f+1&255,l=b-e,m=c-f;return g(g(d(e,f),d(h,f),l),g(d(e,k),d(h,k),l),m)};
