That router uses as CPU a Cavium Octeon processor (MIPS architecture) with two cores. It supports MIPS 64 r2 and aligned data access, and it is a great platform for running big-endian unit tests.

It boots from a internal USB drive, that can be removed and changed (the only problem is that not all drives are compatible, and also, in most cases you will have to the pendrive in order to use it, not a problem).

I bought it not long ago for doing big endian on both 32 and 64 bit modes, and I can not be more happy. Amazing stuff. My intention was to put directly OpenBSD, but the default Linux distribution it uses (Vyatta, Debian derivative) works very well, being able to install packages via apt-get, so I use it too. To be able to run OpenBSD just changing the USB stick is amazing, and great for testing without spending lots of money on more expensive stuff (e.g. while there are many affordable, and quite good, routers with fast single-core MIPS 24K and 74K -e.g. TP Link-, usually have small flash disk (4-16MB) and low RAM (16-64MB), having to use remote filesystems or cross compiling; with the EdgeRouter Lite you can build and run, without worrying with cross compilers nor remote filesystems).

Amazing hardware: USB boot means no device brick risk, multiple OS boot. Also, is very stable, no matter if it gets a bit hot, I had 0 hangs since I bought many months ago. Despite being not cheap, compared to other domestic equipment, it is worth it every cent it costs. In my opinion.

P.S. As contrast, another device I use for unit testing, a GuruPlug (ARMv5), has the risk of being bricked, make me being afraid of installing anything not really necessary (the point of using an ARMv5 instead of an ARMv6 like Raspberry Pi, is that the Pi supports unaligned memory access, so if you want to check those cases, you can't).
On the shell, we have Curses. How is Turbo Vision different?
I think the comments on here would be a more valuable "MBA crash course" for Mr. Maffin.
Postmates seems to feature bicycles in a weirdly prominent way, as if that is the best way to deliver a meal. But then they offer delivery from places that are so far away that cycling would be impractical from a delivery standpoint. Anyway, this space seems to still be up for grabs, but then I don't live in a place like NYC where Seamless owns it.
The optimism in that article is astounding, and that's coming from a dyed-in-the-wool optimist. I think this is a classic case of a layman underestimating just how hard the technical problem of building a 100% autonomous car is. Tesla has some autonomous features, but the car still requires a human driver. Getting that last 5% of the problem solved for all the little, rare, unpredictable things that can happen in the real world is a really hard problem.

I agree that shared self-driving cars are the future, and at some point sooner rather than later they will likely be electric self-driving cars. But as to which company is going to dominate that space is not easy to predict, and a company like Tesla is the underdog in a ring with heavyweights like Google and Apple.

Open-Source PipelineDB Releases v0.8
No, the “emission, radiation, or induction” of the bit pattern is an “emission, radiation, or induction”. The bit pattern is perfectly fine; you can print it on a t-shirt or tattoo it on your forehead and the law won't care. You can even emit, radiate, or induce it as long as that doesn't willfully or maliciously seriously degrade, obstruct or repeatedly interrupt a radiocommunications service.
I think https://slackline.io/ is really interesting, channels shared between different team. I see the use case for this, in GitLab issues it is also annoying that it is hard to work with people from outside the company if the issue is private. But there are no plans to do something like this at this moment. However, it is all open source, feel free to add functions. And because you don't have to pay for accounts there is no limit to the number of people that can join.
If your idea of happiness and health is a bipolar world in which everyone is either:

(a) A producer, whose entire production is taken from him or her by force of arms and given to others, or

(b) A consumer, who does nothing and contributes nothing but lives off the work of others, and

in either case one lives in a horribly crowded, polluted, sweltering world, then we will have to agree to disagree. I'm not even sure which of (a) or (b) would be worse, but I know I'd choose suicide if those were the other options.
I love using Slack and have been looking for an open source alternative. This sounds great! Anything similar (open source / on premises) for video and desktop sharing? I am trying to get away from Skype or Google Hangouts in the same way.
Dotcom failures – a look at those who tried and failed [PDF – 2002]
Yes, we have an iOS app internally, but it needs updating, and also we need to get push notifications to work for on-prem customers.

This is exactly something I didn't know I was missing. Excellent tool! Looking forward to trying it out.
Amusingly this includes Amazon.
what about a visualization for mongo cursors? ( ala robomongo ). I feel the use case for me would be ad-hoc querying/analysis of data in mongo - so that'd be critical
It was more common in the Apple camp however, and ended up "mainstream" with the iPhone.
Except you don't have property rights over the radio spectrum, unless you licensed it from FCC. It doesn't matter that it's your physical territory - the radio spectrum belong to FCC and them alone.

Similarly, you don't have any rights over the airspace above your land - the FAA does.
True, but Sun continued to sell Star Office with its own additions. I believe it sold it directly with commercial backing as an alternative to Microsoft Office.

Oracle even released a version of Oracle Open Office before giving its code and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation.

That's cute, but I don't see anyone upthread suggesting anything like the strawman dichotomy that you react to.
I agree they do look similar. Obviously none of the code was copy pasted and I hope the products will diverge further over time. GitLab started out with a pretty similar look but by now it found its own look.
Not sure. If someone has a cell phone and needs to call 911, would you be held liable for their inability to make that call?
These features are the value proposition. If you don't want them, a different router might actually be better for you.
I mean, Brillo just seems to be a software stack. That could easily be added in later, especially since they tout lots of software updates.

If you run an open proxy, then you're choosing to give away any privileges you've received on the basis of your network position or IP. By default, one should avoid running open proxies.

They should have run the proxy on a host that they didn't give any special IP-based privileges to. The other nodes shouldn't honor X-Forwarded-For headers from the IP hosting the proxy.
They should return the $750k directly to the people who they scammed out of $80 / day instead of to the FCC slush fund. I'm sure most/everyone paid with a credit card.
Well, the article does have (italics mine):

> she and Adam would have to get by in the Bay Area on the meager monthly stipend she allowed herself.

YC does give people a decent chunk of money; at least startups. Maybe it's different for non profits? From the article, it seems she chose to live frugally and spend it on her project.
Could be pretty cool. One thing you can _almost_ do is make custom visualizations. There's an HTML viewer, so if you can build a function that turns an object into html, you can build yourself a custom display. We're hoping to make this easier though.
Cool. Can I flash with Tomato or DD-WRT?
You don't have to run the executable. You can, but the problem is absolutely doable without running it (static reversing).

As for the subdomains, you can safely ignore them. There are a number of them most are not primarily mine. I just give some friends free hosting(or point subdomains to their boxes)

And yea there are random subdomains that are not part of it. Most of the subdomains are not even mine (I give free hosting to friends). The only subdomain that was part of it was clcs.0x0539.net but thats no longer the case.

Wow. Thank you! And thank you for open sourcing it.

There are so many reasons I won't use a hosted chat system, but all the on-premise options suck on mobile (otherwise I'd just use ircd), or just suck (hipchat). This is a great option.
>What is stopping them from blocking all cellular signals or worse charging cellphone companies for the signal travelling through their space?

Cell phones use licensed spectrum. If you want to operate a jammer, you're going to need permission from Sprint, which they're not going to give you.

Now, if Sprint wants to operate a cellphone tower on your property, then you can charge them out the nose.
Their privacy policy seems open ended enough to indicate otherwise. Using this router allows Google to collect a HECK of a lot of data about your Internet usage.
Also, I think most people understand that the Google icon in the search bar and the Google result page mean that Google sees their search terms. The Pocket branding is less distinct, and everyone I've talked to outside of Mozilla expects the reading list to be like history or bookmarks, not searches.

To be fair, though, I think a reading list is a very useful feature.

Favor has been doing pretty well here in Boston, though I believe they use multi-modal transportation (bike, scooter, motorbike, or car).

I wonder whether that's enough to make them operationally superior vs. uberx drivers?

The quick instructions didn't look really quick to me, so I created a vagrant setup for those who don't want to install TypeScript, Rust Nightly, and multirust in its local machines.

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/chilicuil/eve-vagrant && cd eve-vagrant

$ vagrant up #this may take a while

$ xdg-open http://localhost:8080/editor

The above uses a plain precise 32 box and install eve and its dependencies in the provisioning phase, I've also created a modified box (583MB) with eve dependencies hard-coded, which could serve better those who don't have precise32.box anyway.

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/chilicuil/eve-vagrant && cd eve-vagrant/partial

$ vagrant up #this may take a while but not as much as the above

$ xdg-open http://localhost:8080/editor
```
So it's interesting. These appear to be pre-made items (limited selection each day). As far as I can tell, it's only $3 per delivery, no matter how many items you order. And the listed prices look competitive, though I couldn't find a restaurant that had any of the Uber items on the actual menu. I'm assuming they are custom specials.

I've used and liked Favor, but once you add in a tip, and pay their percentage, it can get expensive quick ($5 per, plus 5% plus 20% or so for tip). So that can be $7.50 in delivery charges for a $10 sandwich. The upside is that anything can be ordered custom.

Does anyone know the logistics? For example, are the drivers stocked with inventory in their cars to avoid returning often to the restaurant? Do food delivery drivers ever also pick up passengers?
Yes, boat and RV owners would love deep discharge battery packs that have longer lives. Wet-cell is about a 48 month life, the AGM's a little better. A full set replacement for a large RV is about $2K, so getting another year or two is a big deal.
StumpWM is really, really nice to use. And it integrates great with emacs+SLIME.

It's really the wave of the future.
Funny thing is that mainframes might have earned their reputation for security if architectures such as Burroughs or i432 won out. Instead, IBM dominates the market and we know S/360 architecture was optimized for performance not security. That along with IBM backward compatibility seems to be how it won. The obscurity of almost every aspect of it along with barrier-to-entry is why it got less scrutiny.

So, it all adds up to a platform that should be very easy to smash and have literally decades worth of vulnerabilities built in. Should be some horrid design decisions in there, too, which might not be just a patch job. Mainframe hacking is literally a goldmine people should get into. Plus, those that prefer a boring, 8a-5p job with good pay and excellent job security will benefit from learning mainframe (or COBOL). Do the daily grind, play with shit on the test/dev partitions (LPARS?), and have fun hacking after work.

And you're right that the Redbooks are good. My only disagreement is that, if looking for mainframe, the SEO actually is too good in that all I get are Redbooks and IBM articles. That's when I'm looking for independent assessments of it. It's like Google wanted to drown me in their shit while I was actually looking for an independent assessment of Channel I/O, TCO, etc. Found some of it but it was work.

EDIT: Only thing that confused me was when the presentation said he bought a mainframe. How the hell did he buy a mainframe? I thought you had to be rolling in cash to even get an entry-level model with z/OS and z/VM. Re-edit, I found two answers to that question for people with some cash and who want to hack mainframes. See below:

>No chance of running in a "Windows 7 compatibility" mode that allows the DRM to keep working

Wouldn't a virus just try to run itself in compatibility mode? I'm not exactly sure how that would be scripted, but I could see a multi component attack using a method like that.
Because they couldn't already, when they were an ISP. Google Fiber.
The Gersh is one of those people who is making absolutely no sense about half the time, and the other half he's making perfect sense and everything is suddenly crystal clear. In the former case, it's usually when he's talking about some kind of vague and convoluted futurism. In the latter case, it's usually when he's talking about EE history.

(Side note: nobody ever goes back and holds the futurists to account when they're wrong. It's critical to be futuristic about a time that occurs after you plan to retire.)
My niece is in this space (battery research/startups). They keep failing, even with 20% improvements in whatever, because nobody will retool. So yes, that's about how grim it is.
If you had a straight battle for name recognition between LibreOffice and Apache Open Office, which would win?

AOO is just benefiting from years of hype behind OO.org, which would be fine if it had community support and was making the same sort of improvements to the code....

LO forked before AOO existed, so you could argue that https://www.openoffice.org/ should offer to link to both versions. (I'm not wholly convinced by this myself, but it would level the playing field, and more people might download the better version.)
Ride the elevator out to geosync, and you'd be in orbit for free. Ride it past there and let go, and you'd end up flying away from the earth. Time it right and you could end up traveling to the moon or to mars for little to no fuel costs, and just have to brake at your destination.

Edit: My mistake, I didn't realize that this wasn't the normal concept of tether out past geosync.

Speaking of strawmen, I am not arguing that rogue AP containment is always illegal. Nor am I arguing that it's always legal. I believe this is a matter of consent. If you enter a space where wifi hotspots are forbidden, then your proprietor can de-auth you to hell and the FCC should have nothing to say about it. It's not interference any more; it's an agreed-to limitation on use.

Your Cisco quote is a complete non sequitur because you're assuming a very particular definition of "legitimate AP" when none is present or implied by law. A "legitimate AP" is one that is not itself being operated in violation of the law, and a "neighboring WLAN" is one that you do not own or have consent to manage. With correct or reasonable definitions, that quote doesn't support your position at all.
I've heard it directly from the people that work at these large companies. The reality is Squarespace (and other platforms like it) offer a user experience that's perfect for the non-technical people who actually manage these websites, and the entire infrastructure is effectively outsourced for $20/mo, which is insane.

Anything similar (open source / on premises) for video and desktop sharing?

Apache OpenMeetings gets you part of the way there. Unfortunately the UI is Flash based, and it looks a bit outdated. But it is usable, and supports audio, video, shared whiteboading, etc.

Not sure what the latest plans are among the core project maintainers, as far as getting away from the Flash interface. But if they aren't planning to do anything, I might take a stab at it. If anybody is interested in helping with something like that, ping me.

Anyway, if you want to take a look, we keep an instance running on one of our demo servers:

http://demo2.fogbeam.org

You can login with username "kflynn" and password "secret". Registering a new account probably won't work, as I don't have the email support fully configured, so I don't think you'll get the verification link if you try to register.

I'm sitting in one of the rooms now if anybody wants to chat, so they can actually see this work. Just login and then go to

http://demo2.fogbeam.org:5080/openmeetings/#room/42

Edit: New user registration is fully setup now, so feel free to create your own account if you want to play around with this for a while.
Ever slept in a room with a wireless router before? Those flashing lights get annoying.
Here's the thing about TP-Link: They're a "good enough" manufactur. Meaning if you care about something, don't buy a TP-Link, but if you don't care that much and just need it to basically work "good enough" (e.g. WiFi for your mom's house) then they're fine.

I got a cheap TP-Link repeater. It works fine, nothing special, no bells or whistles. But for the price it was a good buy.
Well maybe they are... If it can do all that without learning DD-WRT, then I'll buy it. I understand all those things and want most of them enabled at home, I just don't have the time or motivation to learn the configuration files despite being a programmer who's perfectly capable of it. The interface should be distinct from the capability.
Push notifications in Slack are an important feature. It allows me to be quickly accessible when I am away from my computer.
I have a new-ish Tp-Link router that's been driving me utterly batty, so I'm looking forward to Google getting into this game.

Hope they develop a full line of products, like having a second device for range-boosting.

That said, Mattermost was originally designed to be a games portal (not just a messaging app), and you'll probably see the UI bring that functionality back in the "AppCenter" feature being developed: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s6vrticxgz9PsxePQ-dFrsKp...

While the system is definitely a better solution, you also have to look at it from a database performance level. I would prefer the above, and to be honest my knowledge of databases is not strong enough to say that the below makes it impossible or difficult to implement but something that needs to be taken into account.

Spotify currently has a database that tracks the number 'Plays' each artist gets. They then roll that up into a combined number that gives them their royalty payout for the year. Have lets say 100,000 artists, that is 100,000 records accessed when they run their end of year report. On the user level (lets say you have a million users) you now need to keep track of the number of clicks per artist per user. Most likely through having each user have its own click counter table that has a record for each artist they listened to (probably through a foreign key) and then the number of clicks for that artist. When the end of the year report rolls around instead of simply looking at 100,000 records. You are now accessing 1 million records times the average number of artists a user listens too and then running calculations to figure out how much each artist gets by the user. I'm sure there is better database design then the above mentioned but you still run into a more power intensive process to calculate it.

Not something I think will completely stop companies like spotify from switching to this model but something worth considering...
