Exactly. It really needs to be the platform's job to provide a reasonable sandbox configuration that users can turn on or off as a single switch. Or, better yet, one that is always on. Because while it's generally easy for apps to work around things like missing /proc, most developers aren't going to bother if it isn't mandatory that they do so.

But potentially breaking compatibility with existing apps is understandably not something Docker wants to do. (Whereas it's something sandstorm.io is happy to do, because apps already need to be tweaked in other ways for it.)

I was writing a reply yesterday but didn't finish it-

I was going to say, for the first iteration of the product you could consider using classic lead-acid instead of LiPo. It's cheap, so it would help keep you price-competitive. It's absolutely proven as an automotive battery chemistry.

The difference vs. a classic battery would be, your smart circuitry to shut off the battery, and the cap stage would allow for a tiny battery even on big engines. Your LiPo model already sacrifices capacity, and the only other reason for a big battery is CCA, which the caps solve. Thus you could put an itty-bitty 10Ah lead-acid in an F-550. Bigger & heavier than a 10Ah LiPo? Sure, but still way smaller and lighter than modern F-550 batteries.

You could then move to LiPo for later versions as you get the truly novel parts of the product dialed in and costs starts to come down.
Yes, flash density is much higher. Partly that's because putting circular platters in a rectangular case wastes a lot of space and partly because you can stack eight flash dies into a package around 1 mm thick.
Unfortunately it is the content providers that have forced bundling onto the cable providers. Verizon FIOS was the first major cable provider though to successfully implement unbundling. As you said, the FCC would do well to restrict forced bundling.

On a previous project, I had built a shell script that essentially created n mysql databases and just distributed the test files under n rails processes.

We were able to run tests that took an hour in about 3 minutes. It was good enough for us. Nothing sophisticated for evenly balancing the test files, but it was pretty good for 1-2 days of work.
I guess on paper that's true. But management and opportunity costs are certainly not insignificant in that case.

Property management services typically charge 5-7% off the top plus a new tenant/lease renewal fee that varies by market.

Unless the amount of capital I have invested in my home is small compared to my total assets (it's not) then having that much money tied up in a non-liquid asset is certainly not contributing to my personal flexibility.
Makes one wonder about the usable lifetime of such an art piece.
> Am I some superhuman that I am actually capable of getting work done on GNU/Linux? That, in fact, all of the software I need is there?

You're a software developer in a particular, small segment of the industry for which tooling is available, not "most people".

> That the kernel, libc and other APIs are actually quite stable

The kernel and libc are not enough to meet application developer requirements, not by miles.

This is why any usable Linux desktop relies on a massive set of fragile packages that have to be managed via a package manager in lock-step to maintain compatibility across the entire dependency graph.

That, in turn, assumes that everything participating in that dependency graph can be rebuilt (and patched) by the package maintainers, at-will, to maintain compatibility across the entirety of the graph.

If that doesn't work for your software, your only choice to is to ship your own large set of incompatible dependencies, and spend a lot of effort keeping those working with the surrounding distribution-managed dependency graph.

> ... usability is greatly enhanced by being able to configure my system the way that best suits my workflow and without OS features that think they're holding my hand and helping me but only get in my way of doing actual work?

That's a different metric of "usability" than the metric most people apply (and benefit from).
"Several. Just to be clear, I'm not simply holding nuclear to this standard.

Population, energy systems, resource utilisation, topsoil and water use, environmental contamination."

Okay, I apologize for being a bit unfair. That being said...

You can't optimize all those things at the same time. If you're concerned about carbon dioxide emissions from power generation leading to the most catastrophic possible greenhouse effect, that's far more damaging than a small amount of nuclear waste buried in a mountain somewhere, and the possibility that some small number of people in a nation or culture that doesn't even exist today may be foolish enough to dig it up a thousand years from now. Such a tradeoff would be well worth it -- even to those folks a thousand years from now, because a modern-day Earth that doesn't have to deal with an environmental catastrophe is going to be wealthier and better-ordered a thousand years from now than one that does.

Spot on.
I would like to add that the name "labor market" is a misnomer. It is not a market.

On the one hand you have rich capital providers who DO NOT HAVE to invest money - they can live off their capital without doing anything.

On the other, you have labor providers, who HAVE to work to feed themselves.

The solution is to reach the "fuck-you-money" savings level. Not that simple, but not impossible.
Maybe there are more police officers are in the Army than the Marines. It is definitely a significant demographic in line units in the Army guard and reserves. FWIW we had the opposite happen: When I joined in 2000, there were a lot of college kids and middleupper-middle class people. After the wars started, it was basically people coming off of active duty to serve the rest of their 8 years (four active, four guard/reserve), poor people that couldn't afford college otherwise (myself included) and law enforcement. There was an enormous shift, and a kind of unspoken understanding before Iraq that anybody that didn't want to be in combat needed to get out. And so they found ways -- like PT tests and paperwork (and I suppose drug tests and DUIs) -- to get out.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yes, me too. And I may end by giving a try to implement such lib.

Anyway, like you've said, the ecosystem is still maturing.
But the more people are interested in Rust, and the more libs we will have.

Honestly, the "freedom to move" thing is a red herring in these discussions. There is a whole lot of friction to moving that is not tied up in how you pay for your residence. For most people, loss of social networks, loss of nearby family, and disruption to children are much bigger barriers to moving than owning their residence.

That said, the other features you mention are much better examples of limits that come from buying. It really depends on how stable real estate pricing is and what direction the market is trending.

Thanks for pointing it out. It is still in development. The reason i was using CDN was because of bandwidth and reusing the cached JS if the user already has that.
What will be the best way to tackle this? If I put all those under one CDN then I guess the bandwidth problem will be solved but I wont be able to reuse the JS that user might already have. At the end of the day I still have to trust the third party JS.
Yes, those were lithium cobalt IIRC. LiFePO were new technology when the 787 was designed (it's a long product cycle) and the FAA required a metal shield around the LiIon batteries.

LiFePO is much less likely to enter thermal runaway, and much less explosive when it does. Overcharging them is about as bad as non lithium chemistries (it's even possible to start a fire by overcharging a lead-acid). Don't try this at home, but overcharging and shorting a LiFePO isn't nearly as catastrophic as doing so with a LiCoO or LiPo. With those chemistries you're basically relying on the battery firmware to keep the battery from exploding under those conditions.
If, however, Ohm came with a rock-solid 7-year replacement warranty, I might be able to get over that.

That's a good idea, and they could even make it a lifetime warranty (lifetime of the car, that is). "Ohm: The last battery your car will ever need" could make a nice tagline.

In the fine print, the implementation would be a replacement guarantee for as long as the customer owns their car. Since most people don't keep the same car for 7 years, it would be a safer bet than a fixed 7-year guarantee.
I am also interested in your issues. I really have grown in my appreciation of Racket myself and looking to use it for some production work.

I found a paper from 2013 that compares storage densities up to 2012:

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6...

In 2012 they list the density of magnetic disks as 750 Gb/in^2 and nand flash as 550 Gb/in^2. I'm not sure how the numbers have changed with 2d nand, but 3d nand probably pushes the density way over magnetic.
Those of us who were investors in bank stocks back in 2008 saw alot of large insider buys, including multi-million ones, from CEOs and top execs looking to reassure investors.

In most cases it simply didn't work. Fundamentals rule sooner or later, not optics. I was in the no-longer extant Wachovia for instance, where the CEO bought around $1m of stock. It was bought out for a song a few months later after it crashed.
Agreed as far as stealing others productivity goes.

There's also another explanation: millenials prefer to live in cities, where there is a higher density of jobs and similar people. Millenials grew up in the suburbs in large numbers, and are migrating to the city as soon as they can afford it comfortably. Affording city rent comfortably means that there's room for the rent to rise, so it does, until they can't find someone to pay.
You're right on all counts. The point I was trying to make is that it caters to unsophisticated investors, and this platform indirectly encourages them to invest without understanding the risks.

Also a very good point. Stop seeing ourselves an consultants and start to see ourselves as a product, a business solution even. This makes a lot of sense honestly. This tends to speak towards what others have said in the past about increasing rate. Stop trying to sell temporary labor and start selling solutions in order to give the most business value and attain the most financial benefit for yourself.

To be introspective, I will admit when I have built product based businesses I have done that. I wonder why my mindset is so different when I am in the consulting space.
The only real solution to this is to stop externalizing the cost of false positives onto the victims.

Kidnap someone and put them in a cage for a month so they lose their salary, job, apartment etc? That adds up to an awful lot of easily demonstrable financial damage that the justice system is directly responsible for. Only when false arrests and prosecution start directly impacting these organizations' budgets will they possibly care about the harm they do.
It's hurting their customers, not the markets.

The Apple Watch has been getting a bad rap for complexity, even though it is simpler than the iPhone.

What are the main gestures, today, for the iPhone? Home-button-press(once twice long-siri thrice), home-button-double-tap, home-screen-swipe(left right middle-down mid), bottom-up, top-down (Today Notifications), three-finger-swipe, pinch, shake. What did I miss?

Compare that with the original iPhone. We started simple, and then year-by-year, a new gesture is added, which seems natural because it's only a small change from what was done before. The UX has been boiling the frog.

So, then the Apple Watch comes along. It is less complex than the iPhone 6, but more complex than the original iPhone. Because it is starting from scratch. It highlights how complex iOS has become.

Would love to see a UX reboot. But, who at Apple has power to do so? Would it turn out like Window's tiles?
> I would be interested to know if there are reasons Go is a better teaching language than Python.

I don't know if it is _better_, but Go has a number of programming concepts you don't see in Python:

- Static typing

- dealing with pointers and dereferencing

- building binaries vs. using an interpreter

- Non-class based OOP

I can see these being helpful to get under your belt sooner rather than later.

Go wouldn't be my first choice, but I found the write-up helpful. I'm predisposed to think interpreted languages like Python are "easier" for kids. Good to see something that shakes that up a bit.

Very cool stuff. For reference at GitLab we use a less impressive and simpler solution. We split the jobs off in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/.gitlab-...

My preferences coincide with yours (as I agree the latter option would be better for everyone), but I do not understand why the FCC must impose either solution. Why does the FCC need to get involved in this situation at all?

I also don't understand how the FCC will determine whether someone is negotiating in 'good faith', as each party to a negotiation has only two options: give the other party more, or walk away (at least temporarily). Is there another option that I am not aware of that is indicative of 'bad faith'?

I'm not even sure whether someone can negotiate in 'bad faith', because if the party that walks away is losing less money from walking away than they would lose by giving more the the counter-party, walking away is the rational choice; if they lose more by walking than by giving in, they are the ones being hurt the most.

Regardless of what happens with "cable", it seems to me that 'channels' are gradually unbundling themselves by providing access over the internet, and shows may soon unbundle from channels in a similar fashion. Both of these moves provide content providers more feedback with respect to what the consumers demand, which will benefit the consumers most. Personally, I hope consumers demand space operas.

But by buying you are, you know, buying the actual house, and paying interest. While by renting you are just paying to use the house, and maintenance.

You are actually arguing that a house will fully depreciate in less time than it takes to pay for it. Well, it's not an extraordinary claim, but it's still not what I'd expect.

This article isn't really arguing what you're arguing though. Productivity (in the US specifically) has continued to grow at a brisk pace, but wages have not. This does not mean that the US has slowed its ascent, and the third world has begun to eat into that productivity; it means that, as wages stagnate, this increased wealth is captured more and more by the top level, the businesses and owners.

If third world countries were eating into this wealth, you would see the entire pie shrinking. As it is, the pie is growing larger, but all that growth is going to the rich owners, and none of it to the workers.

From the video it looks like they're just preventing face detection (probably using OpenCVs implementation of Viola Jones), though i don't think an actual recognition system would do much better when provided a picture of you with lights shining in the middle of your face. For most systems, a combination of a hat, scarf, and sunglasses will work just fine (but keep in mind, if the system uses NIR sensors then sunglasses won't work - they only block UV light).
To list a few more:

- The switch from symfony 1.4 to Symfony 2.0 requires a complete rewrite. Support for symfony 1.4 stopped fairly quickly; there seemed no understanding that companies wouldn't pay to rewrite their messy-but-working systems onto a 'cleaner' framework.

I'm very curious about that as well. I worked on a big project that had a (perhaps analogous) large external dependency on networks of embedded devices in homes and businesses, and integration testing it was …difficult. I'd love to hear how Stripe solves that problem.
> Care to elaborate on this one? I don't see what sucks about it. You can build proprietary software and run it on Linux. See also: Steam games.

This works if you:

- Ship all your dependencies yourself (the distribution-provided dependencies can't be relied upon to stay compatible)

- Spend a lot of effort keeping your app and its dependencies working with the surrounding desktop environment (even when shipping your own libraries, IPC protocols, configuration mechanisms, and interoperability behavior are all unstable)

- Expect that your users will be technically proficient enough to deal with the inevitable breakage, and

- Can afford to spend the extra resources to use the inconsistent and often poorly documented/implemented/designed OSS application libraries that are available.
