It's interesting (as other commenters have noted) that now people implement rest interfaces and we don't seem to have any (other) standards for imposed (controlled) shared state.

Agent standards like FIPA were supposed to enable consensual shared state by agreement, but have never really been used to do that.

I guess the world really doesn't need these things yet?
Of course it is low paid, it's lower than the living wage and you're hardly doing menial unskilled labour.

But crucially you're gaining work experience which will give you an edge when you start looking for jobs once you graduate (which if you've just started 3rd year you'll presumably be doing this time next year). Even if you stay in Scotland you should be able to find programming jobs paying in the ~£25k range for new STEM graduates.

Could you earn more? Yep. But probably more important if the hours are flexible, the work interesting etc.
I expect Europe will face some huge troubles in the future, perhaps even a civil war.

And these problems will be caused by mass immigration and multiculturalism. Many immigrants aren't interested into integrating with their host countries and in my country (The Netherlands) the immigrants also put a huge pressure on the welfare state, because of this the social cohesion is breaking down.

In my opinion any country should have a leading culture and immigrants should aspire to adopt the leading culture, since I believe sharing a culture strengthens the social cohesion.

I didn't get the impression that the author disagrees with that. I guess just mentioning the fact that it's a documentary about child rape would do the job (rather than just hitting play, which I'm pretty sure they don't do).

As far as I'm concerned the article could have been written without mentioning that particular example.
iOS 9: What every newspaper and magazine publisher should know
Good point, haven't heard that one before. Let me clarify. GUN requires no additional maintenance because it gets embedded into your app, compared to most databases which require you to run (and maintain) a database server.

If you do not want to even run your own app servers, I'm more then happy to let you use my free GUN backend so that way you do not even have to worry about that.

Consensus? Absolutely not. I definitely need to add more documentation and resources on this - in fact I'm doing a talk on how my conflict resolution algorithm works out in Berlin in a few weeks. Check the conference out at: https://2015.distributed-matters.org/ber/ . After that I should have much better materials on this available for people.

Briefly and naively, the way it works is a Vector Clock + Timestamp combo. Timestamps have bad exploits, and Vector Clocks don't work well in ephemeral environments. If you combine the two together they compensate for the vulnerabilities of the other. Every peer acts as a state machine operating inside of an open-closed boundary function (nothing fancy here, this is the same stuff you learned in middle/highschool). This does NOT give you Global Consistency, as different peers might have slightly different boundaries because of clock drift (you can use a separate service to minimize this), but they will all become Eventually Consistent.

This helpful? Any other questions?
Hard to explain (surprising to even have to explain), but it seems worth a shot. Consider a degenerative mental disease like Alzheimer's; does the idea of suffering from that, or someone in your family suffering from that, bother you? Why? If the disease robbed you/them of all sense of self, including any part of you/them that would be bothered by it, does that mean there's no harm done because you/they are no longer aware of it? Assuming you find that concept as horrific as I do, then a more permanent loss of any "sense of self" should be quite analogous.

I like that you're actually trying to answer my question instead of being dismissive about it. Unfortunately, I'd say it's difficult to compare Alzheimer's with cessation of existence in this manner. One is the process of losing your sense of self. I agree that must be extremely frightening. Losing control of yourself is no doubt hard.

However, in discussing death, I am referring to the result, not the process. The process of suffering leading to death can horrific, especially if disease is the cause. The end result of not existing, I am not able to put in the same sentence like you do. Even after carefully reading your explanation, it seems to me that you've done a masterful job explaining why the process is horrifying. But I already agree with that. You haven't been able to explain to me why the result after the process is over is so scary.

It may be possible we'd just end up going in circles about this, which would be too bad. I am seriously waiting for someone to explain to me in a manner that I can understand why cessation of existence is so terrifying to them.

edit addendum: Questions regarding scarcity and whether it can be resolved even with new technology and expansion to other galaxies unfortunately cannot be easily resolved until it happens. That being said, I have little faith that humanity can have that Star Trek epiphany. We have enough food to end world hunger today. The problem is distribution and individuals willing to sacrifice for the greater good. This is true for both third world nations that experience famine and inner city slums in the first world. The political will simply isn't there. Don't get me wrong, I really do wish I could think better of humanity.
Again, survivor bias.

I am not saying your proposal isn't a good strategy. There just isn't a guarantee for success. Even your app claim sounds less convincing if you look at the actual average revenue for apps.
I appreciate a good attack on 12-tone Equal Temperament from time to time (and more importantly a good defense of natural intervals), but this article really goes over the top in being extremely opinionated while forcibly trying to sound factual.

His point is not helped by making false claims such as "Equal temperament actually did not come into use until the 20th century."

More importantly, the idea that Bach's WTC was intended to "demostrate the varying key colors in well tempered tuning as one progresses around the circle of fifths" sounds pretty uncanny when you know some context. As an organist, Bach was used to being heavily restrained in which keys and intervals could be used while dodging the many obstacles that were dissonances in the instrument's tuning.

The purpose of Well temperament, used on the harpsichord, was to get rid of those limitations and gain the ability to transpose everything freely while remaining consonant and in-tune. In this way, the Well temperament can be seen as an approximation of equal temperament in a time when the mathematical tools to achieve it were not really known.

To me, it's pretty clear that the WTC is Bach gleefully exploring the freedom of transposition-invariance and free modulation. In other words: Bach would have loved the equal temperament, and this article would likely give him a hearty chuckle.

I like natural intervals, but dividing the octave in 12 tones is a rather inappropriate way of using them. European classical music adopted this system early on, and therefore was doomed to end up on the equal temperament at some point. It's not the ultimate system nor the end of temperaments, but it's been really, really useful.

The Netherlands will see no such civil war. French fucked up with their intrgration policies, they are arrogant and elitist. And it has set them on a collision course with their poor, as it has done before.

The Netherlands has no such problems that I'm aware of. Our welfare is in jeopardy because of people not dying, not jobless immigrants.

In this context, UPnP is what allows uTP to be used as a reflector, since the target reflector will have their ports opened automatically by UPnP (normally a NAT would block it).

That said, improperly configured UPnP can also be used to perform DRDoS via SSDP.

Ask HN: How do you keep track of your remote team?
More and more companies are now (partially) remote, including some very large businesses.

What do you do to keep track of people, teams, projects and prevent isolated employees?

Do you think this will scale? What would make it scale?

---

In the case of GitLab, we:

- insist on the majority of all communication to be asynchronous, i.e. in issues on GitLab or email => seems easy to scale
- actively ask everyone about their personal and professional activities, every single day => hard to scale, just ran into the max concurrent hangouts participants limit.
- like to learn from bigger (25+) remote teams!
The moral of the story, it seems, is to beware any tool that modifies or writes your code for you, even something as seemingly harmless as a JS minifier.
The quoted link discusses backdooring js by writing legit code that turns malicious through minifier bugs.

Same goes for many other European countries, visit Malmo in Sweden (I had the "pleasure" a year and a half ago) it felt less safe than Detroit and parts of Baltimore.

While there won't be a civil war under any possible scenario it will reach a flash point that might paint many countries black if not red again.

Some of the rallies should scare any sensible person and I could really care less about various excuses like it's a vocal minority or they are just angry because X Y Z, I still remember the hate rally after the Danish cartoons in London and my GF verbally (and would be physically) assaulted because she had an Icelandic flag on her backpack and 5th century zealots don't understand geography (not that if she had a danish one it would've been better).
Europe as a whole needs to rethink it's immigration policy and if they really want to integrate the immigrants, they are very politically correct to the point of insanity on the inside and probably the most racist people in the world in their homes.

My GF brother lives in Norway with his family I've visit there 2-3 times a year with my GF and i see how the people speak once they get a glass or 2 into them, how they curse the immigrants and how now their worst nightmare isn't their kid getting addicted on drugs but rather converting to Islam.
Her brother's friend almost went on a fritz when his 16 yr old kid stopped shaving because he thought he was converting they even planned an intervention and if that wouldn't worked they were contemplating trying to see if they can get him "checked out" (aka put away into a mental hospital to cure him).

And the dutch aren't that much better only a couple of weeks ago while doing a project for ING my contact there told me they had to stop shuttle bus from the train station to the industrial park because all the Arabs and gypsies used ride them all the time so now they reimburse people for taxis.

As for money locked up in solar panels, that's no different from traditional investments. If a factory is built, a better factory may be built a few years down the line, rendering the first one an inefficient use of capital. That's an unsolvable problem (unless you have a crystal ball), and it doesn't deter people from making investments. What makes solar different?
Whoops, one correction, as I misquoted St. Silouan. It's not that the theanthropic person become blameless (as in sinless), but that they become beyond judgment.
