I don't disagree with your points about government access to this cloud information ... but this point would carry a lot more weight if these services didn't routinely get away with unilaterally changing their privacy terms.

I also really doubt people have well-formed beliefs about exactly which privacy rights they are giving up for these services, and government agents would probably be in a lot more trouble if they misled you about which rights you were waiving.

The Xeon Phi is not a Xeon. It's a co-processor. https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/... The main advantage is that you can run almost-normal x86 code on it. Each core gets its own cache, so it's not really the same as programming for GPUs.

A much more lengthy write-up was on HN front page a couple months ago. Here's a quote from it [1]:

"""

Decades after “the machine” radically remodeled a portion of Harvey’s Wagon Wheel Casino, Big John’s masterpiece bomb maintains legendary status at the FBI. Bureau agents acknowledge that it is unlikely that even modern bomb squads and technology could make much headway disarming Big John’s improvised explosive without setting it off...the Harvey’s bomb was the largest domestic bomb ever to explode in the United States until the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993...why so few people these days seem to remember...Jonkey’s speculation is succinct: “Nobody died.”

X can be any random variable that satisfies the requirements of the null-hypothesis.

A more appropriate variable for your experiment would probably be the ratio of heads to tails (may need to add a bias to avoid division by 0).

Not necessarily. It depends on the relative amount of opportunities that are beholden to those databases vs aren't.

You're assuming that there are very few opportunities outside of those databases, so a second event would wipe out a good part of your remaining ones. If this is your worldview, then yes your best bet is to live as a second class citizen within the system.

But I say that there are many opportunities in the world that don't require assenting to being tracked. The first event has eliminated the highest quality in-system options, so you've already been forced to look for opportunities outside of the surveillance bubble.
If you're the government, it is easier to milk the relationship you have with telcos and the tech industry to get them to hand over data voluntarily/through the court than it is seek out a warrant to confiscate physical property in a suspect's possession which makes it obvious that they're being investigated.

The takeaway is that there is no magic solution. Consumption implies impact, whether you use paper or plastic. Unless you shop at a farm, there's still a bunch of packaging in your grocery haul outside of the carrying bag - the box containing the froot loops, the bag containing the organic beet chips, the foam plate and plastic wrap that contains your free-range chicken. Therefore be thoughtful about what you consume.

tl/dr:
Re-use your paper bags. Ride your bike to the grocery.
I always wondered if the problem with the shaped charge was that the battery served to keep it from somehow being mechanically detonated rather than the battery being used to provide power for detonation.

Duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10099240
I see the gist of this article (which is positive) but some "hunches" of writer are conveniently converted in to facts. Take this for example: "They have to race from one end to the other of warehouses the size of 16 football fields."

Has she ever been inside a warehouse? Or worked at a warehouse? Or have a friend who works there? Sure those warehouses are indeed huge. Not one but multiple football fields long, at least for large retailers. Amabots or selectors or pickers (politically incorrect term but it is often used within warehouses) work in zones or areas. And they work in their zones and areas for months before they are asked to move to a different selection zone. Each zone is the size of roughly two-to-three decent size living rooms. Lets say if item A for an order is located at the southern end of a warehouse and item B is at the northern end then a single selector does not run back and forth to pick those two items. One selector picks item A and then the shipping box (or a pre-shipping plastic box) is routed via electric conveyors to southern end and another selector picks item B. Watch a video on Youtube.

Obviously there are time constraints because that is the nature of the job. A company can ship out items fast only if selectors will pick/select/process them fast enough from the shelf and place them in to the conveying box.

Now most of these people are not "directly" employed by the warehouse retailer (Amazon or Best Buy or Walmart). Third party staffing companies bring them on board. Sure imho that is a dirty business money-saving tactic to keep the liabilities off of you ledger.

Point being. It is very convenient to rant online these days and shove your broken opinions without doing a proper research. And heck I am just a happy consumer who loves her Prime shipping.

For every comparison we should take into account that scaleway offers dedicated hardware, not a VPS.

Also I think its important to note that they (currently) only offer one very "small" server model, so your whole application would have to be able to scale horizontally really well to be able to run on such infrastructure. So you can't have a few big database servers and a lot of small stateless application servers, which I belive is a very typical architecture today.

I think in general it's related to the conceptual shift Sandstorm is trying to drive. There's a lot of touting "control of your own data" and it took a while for that to sink in for me.

I think it took so long because it's so different from what I'm used to. It seems like a powerful idea but challenging to make sure your customers' expectations are managed.

The sidebar/navbar clearly is part of the strategy, well done there. But the gulf that exists between the specific-app content pane and the sandstorm navbar is the tricky bit.
Almost certainly. There is another generation of ARM SoC's coming out with more and beefier cores, specifically designed for servers. One thing I'm curious about is whether this price reduction from Scaleway means they are close to announcing availability of those.

Ask HN: Advice for troubles with Co-founder/CEO?
Hello HN,

Recently the relationship between my fellow co-founder (CEO) and myself (CTO) have hit very rough times. He asked me to take on the responsibility of managing the tech team. It was once just me, and we have grown to three. Now I have organized the Sprints and the development process, but he is constantly micromanaging me, and the rest of the team.

He is directly asking developers to work on small, meaningless projects during the sprint that cause us to lose time and focus. He even told me he knows it is not helping, but still refuses to stop doing it.

Additionally, he is now making all business decisions himself without even consulting with me. I own around 25% of the business and my stake is comparable with his. Before we would meet and discuss, and then come to a decision. I recently took a small vacation, and when I came back he had decided to throw out our revenue model. He also had been secretly raising a Series A and interviewing developers without my knowledge.

Once we raised our seed round, it seems that the power and thought of money has gone to his head. I am on the verge of quitting, but I have worked very hard and believe deeply in the product. I really am not sure what to do. I have confronted him multiple times, but he refuses to change or even communicate clearly.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I can provide further details if necessary.

that is probably the best explanation I have read yet. But it is fairly true - I really dont know why. I think religion (in its most abstract: festivities + food) has a lot to do with it. And Bollywood.

But a lot has to do with our freedom movement - the way Gandhi, Nehru and Patel unified the different kingdoms into a single freedom struggle is incredible. And that has never gone away. We actually unified India AFTER the formal independence from the British. Hyderabad's Princely State (to which I notionally belong to... and Satya Nadella ) actually wanted to be independent and was annexed by the Indian Union by force.

And now, there is so much growth and money in India, that it is really hard to make a case for Balkanization - Kashmir is an edge case with a lot of international politics. But even in the far northeast (Mizoram, etc), the struggle is for a separate federal state... only a few splinter groups demand full independence.
Am I wrong in thinking that this is a Tk Text widget (or possibly several), with a selection of functions atop? Plugins for the most part are just key press callbacks which manipulate this Text widget and associated state?

I know every project must start somewhere but this doesn't seem to have considerable substance for a purported next gen vi(m), and given its heavy reliance on pre-made tools (like text areas), without much abstraction, it seems like it would be hard to get over the hump to make it competitive with existing editors.
Yes, yes, if you nitpick enough you can bypass all obstacles, like:

1-The fact these are people just arriving Europe, they aren't westernised by any means.

2-The fact that the vast majority of Muslims living in other European countries shown in the study do believe in following the Sharia law.

3-The fact that you claim that these people are in some way different than the majority of the people in their countries, just because you want too.

Perfect, you managed to find that the 1% of the African people that suits your alternate reality are the only refugees/migrants that are arriving in Europe. Well done.

EDIT:

> Well, for one thing, you must always remember the immortal words, DON'T PANIC

So true. A colleague of mine managed - on his second or third day on job - to delete every single user account in our Active Directory. After an hour, we gave up trying to restore the AD (it was an SBS2008, so no AD recycle bin) and simply restored the entire DC (at the time, our domain only had the one DC) from backup. Surprisingly, most of our users took it very well and used the time to get some paperwork done or clean up their desks or something like that. Still, it was one of the most stressful days of my life. So we kind of panicked. In restrospect, I think another hour or so of research might have saved us the eight hours of restoring that server (did I mention that our backup infrastructure really, really sucked at the time?).

In smaller desasters, I've found the ability to remain calm most valuable, though. Having your boss breathing down your neck impatiently can instill a deep desire to simply do something just to show that you are working on the problem. But if you don't understand what's wrong, at best you are wasting time, and possibly making the problem even worse.

This doesn't really sound like the surveillance state to me. This is regulators combing through the e-mails of the people they regulate who control vast swathes of the United States and global economies.

And unless you want to bug every single person's office which sounds a lot more like a surveillance state to me, I don't particularly think looking at the activities of people who are taking things offline is particularly egregious.

The funny thing is, if the people just discussed it by e-mail, they might get away if no one ctrl-f's for their terms!
Ha!
There's already a quite large distributed "HTTP" being used everyday: BitTorrent's DHT network. URIs are just the keys of the distributed hash table. Keys are also mutable so one can change the content stored at specific keys. Right now it's being used to serve very large files and not HTML/CSS/JS files. Things like Project Maelstrom are a step in the right direction.

Problem is that it's hard to find things, just like it was hard when the Web started. There are opportunities for the next "google" of this new DHT space.
I actually would like to comment here.

My personal definition for (an unqualified) sandwich is that there must be two /isolated/ 'bread' sides surrounding a payload (the 'meat' of the sandwich).

As a quesadilla is often made folded I at first disqualified it; however not /all/ quesadillas are folded. Some are actually made with two individual tortillas. Thus it is close enough to a sandwich to be expressible as a member of that class, while the others that are similarly close are always made with single pieces of bread (cut in the middle) and thus, they are not in fact sandwiches as it is not optional to select different types of bread for the two sides (even though I've /never/ seen anyone do this; it's still /possible/).
