It goes deeper than that. I think the human mind is fundamentally incapable of understanding Nature and reality. We make clever models, increasingly sophisticated and successful at manipulating matter and energy within the limited realm of our perception.

However, we will never truly grasp the outside World. Every discovery will open up another can of worms, in an endless chase for more refined models. Today it's Dark Energy and Dark Matter. Centuries from now our views will seem as naïve and simplistic as Phlogistics and 19th-century Ether.

That's OK though, as long as we're having fun. And don't blow ourselves up. And love and laugh.
Could also be the case, tho it's a bit hard to tell since you don't know how they've accessed the content, however if mobile browser would blow like they did only a handful of years ago that wouldn't be a viable approach.
Content access apps like TapTalk are pretty much dead, the only big community i know that still cares about their app is XDA-Developers which well is a very niche community to begin with.
It's a packaging issue. Boxers are excellent for weight distribution, but their width would restrict airflow to the rear diffuser. V engines fit neatly behind the cockpit, with plenty of space for ancillaries. Rear aerodynamics are a key aspect of Nissan's decision to go front-engined; putting the engine up front allows for an absolutely huge diffuser tunnel.

You can also get this with splay trees, and then you get some of your other nice tree behaviours like faster inserts, immutability potential, etc
Great talk!
Well an actual DNS server, Whats wrong with authoritative DNS? just use DNS NOTIFY to update slaves on record change.

That way TTL is not a problem, unless you have SSSD or nslcd doing caching on the client.

It'll remove a massive layer of complication, and will mean that you can have redundant service discovery even if your ETCD/skydns fails.

It'll certainly scale much, much higher than skydns. if you don't want to create your own DNS, Use Dyn. It has a REST interface, a very nice SLA. if you query the servers directly you also don't have to worry about TTLs
How much does state competitiveness play into China's firewall policies? If you think of China's people as a customer base, and China as a large corporation, then it wouldn't surprise me that they would take any steps within their power to prevent other "large corporations" from taking away their customers.

With that in mind, Baidu becoming the default search engine in a Microsoft product is a huge win for Baidu and China as a whole. It's also that many steps closer to being the default search engine for a Microsoft product in different countries, such as the United States.
Esri / ArcGIS is great for analysis, but people should know by now that it is a terrible web-scale presentation tool. I'd guess that the majority of visitors to this site bounced before the markers showed up!

This is classic government contractor fodder, though: I bet it works great with only a handful of users (like during a demo).
The slope of your line is basically (EV/Revenue)/(Profit/Revenue) => EV/Profit which sums up what this article should have been about: P/E ratios are what actually matter. All the other terms just let you thread the needle between a company that's heavily reinvesting (where P may be misleading) versus one that's generating so much cash it can't imagine putting the rest to good use (Apple, Google, to some degree Facebook). Still, I definitely agree that your chart or something like it is what I expected from the article.
Show HN: CrashBreak – Reproduce exceptions as failing tests in Ruby
IMO that telnet server was not meant to be a backdoor - it was probably caused by lazyness or incompetence.

It's common, very very common. Look at this Defcon video: http://youtu.be/h5PRvBpLuJs
"If the test results show that the algorithm under question can distinguish attributes—like whether a data point represents a male or female—then it’s labeled biased. The other algorithm the researchers introduced tries to remedy the bias by modifying the actual data set so that any selection algorithm would deliver fair results. The algorithm does this by blurring attributes that may be correlated to, say, race or gender."

So if you're testing construction workers, you identify bias, then you select strength as the variable causing bias, and you adjust the strength values of the dataset or force the algorithm to devalue strength?

Racism/sexism are real and we need new ways to fight them, but this is like a right wing satire of affirmative action.
I found an old copy recently for 50p.

It may be worth more than that. I haven't checked.
It's dangerous and biased to assume a company like Apple had its stock increased because of 'innovation' or 'disruption'.

A lot of it was a consequence of Fed's policies mainly with ZIRP and QE. From that angle, overvaluation of public companies is more likely than the latter.

And, if startups are 'less undervalued'~'more overvalued' than public companies, it only means they're more prone to volatility, busts and bloodbaths.
Can anyone recommend some JS (or compiles-to-JS) NLP libraries that can be used for strictly client-side NLP in a privacy conscious web app?
Thank you for the reminder. If culture framework is defined as traditions, value systems, myths and symbols that are common within a given society. (I cheated and looked it up) Then I double down on my opinion. ;-)

An interesting exercise I just did was to go to Google Maps and pick various locales in L.A, San Diego etc, and virtually "drive down the streets" and see if the cultural difference. The symbols and systems are definitely not consistent: YMMV :-)

Hollywood Blvd & Vine; Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills; Van Nuys Blvd & Sepulveda (lot of pot shops) ; Gaslamp District San Diego, Huntington Beach, CA, Santa Monica, 4th street; Long Beach Harbor; Juarez, Mexico.
I know this might sound odd, but ETCD and DNS look pretty similar.

They are both hierarchical distributed key:value databases (well if you ignore SRV and TXT records...) Both have a system for time limiting keys.

However etcd comes with a REST protocol built in, and higher latency.

I'm not saying that DNS is better than ETCD.
It looks like the git repository is 22GB or 6.5GB without the commit history. I doubt a person can read that much in a lifetime. So I guess the best approach depends on finer grained goals.

Yes they will factor in. That's disingenuous. Forget whose side of the debate you and I are in. Let's analyze the fundamental consequence of your assertion here.

If I held a gun to a drug addict's head, you think that will not pressure them to stop, even if just for that moment when the pressure is applied?

If your assertion is true, with any degree of correctness, then we've found a perfect way to destroy information! Simply convert data into a signal fed to a drug addict. Because you're asserting that drug addicts can destroy such information since regardless of what signal they're fed, they will destroy the information.
That's not what he's saying. He's saying they have disliked both from the beginning, but anti-govt sentiment predominates now. Which seems true as far as it goes.
Thank you both, there are very good news. I'll give it a try as soon as 0.4 is launched.

I gave GCP a try recently because one of my workloads on DigitalOcean started to be come unreasonably expensive. I use AWS S3 for object storage, but while their other offerings seem to be pretty powerful, it's more complicated than what I need. As a hobby-level user, I'm really liking what I see with GCP so far.

One GCP offering that I think deserves more attention is Managed VMs (part of App Engine). You provide your app + runtime in a Docker container, and App Engine will run that container in a Compute Engine VM and do a bunch of cool stuff for like health checking, autoscaling, and log aggregation. It's limited in a lot of respects, but it's a basic cluster manager like Kubernetes or ECS but easier to use for simple services IMO.
If anyone wants to do something like this but a bit less quixotic, and you live in Boston, try the annual MIT Mystery Hunt! It only takes a weekend, and it's in January, so there's not long to wait. Just don't do it alone. Either form a team or contact them and get assigned to one. It's a great time!

Very strange, you should be able to observe these in almost any monitor. I see this in multiple projects/networks.

Outage today was on us-central1-a. I got alerts from multiple agents - new relic, zabbix and ssh monitor so I don't think it can be blamed on tools or something like this. It happened in two bursts, this is the first one http://imgur.com/XdzuJ2r with messages from both zabbix and new relic, the time zone in the emails is EEST. These are all different machines, no duplication.
Your experience with AWS support is generally correlated with how much you pay. After many years of grumbling, we're finally at the highest level and support is pretty great. As it should be, given the price.

You're exactly right about the "technical salesperson mindset". It's awesome see new features come out several times a year that feel like direct response to our feedback. Google is impressive, but I don't get the feeling they would be as responsive to customer requests.
It's not a black and white thing. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you will do it the same amount if the pressure wasn't applied. You're arguing that it's impossible to influence the % of people that will do drugs simply because at any time it would be theoretically possible to circumvent it? EVERYTHING is circumventable. Does that mean we should give up all rules, force, and pressure to control behavior or influence our enemies?

People say that China can't stop everyone from going through the Great Firewall. That's the same point you guys are missing. China puts pressure against people from accessing uncensored information on the internet. They may not stop absolutely everyone, but they can reduce a large % of people from doing so, and prevent large % amount of information from being accessed that's corresponds linearly with the amount of pressure applied.

There is in fact no policy which is absolute. You can't eradicate all criminal activity, that doesn't mean you shouldn't put any pressure into doing so.

It's pretty much impossible to completely eradicate child pornography, especially now with the internet prevalent in third world countries. Are you also arguing we should legalize that because if someone really wanted to they still can get child pornography???

Celebrity actors VA in games is a fairly recent development. For much, much longer we had random people doing VA even without getting a credit. Even now, celebrity VA is not very common and only happens in few AAA titles. Very few people will notice if games get back to the old ways, IMHO. The only thing this strike can possibly do is to screw its members from any game VA gigs.
That would make sense if Microsoft didn't own Bing. But they do, so that makes no sense at all.

Just googled for "earth flag". Among the various results, this is the only one that impressed me:

http://marketblog.envato.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ru75...

Not saying it could actually be used as a flag. Notice how it puts the accent on us rather than the environment. I find it fresh and combative, it reminds us of our unity but also of our animality. It says very well who and what we are (without giving away our address!). However it's not inclusive and well-meaning enough to be politically acceptable. Isn't that strange?

All the other efforts, including the one linked by the OP, look trivial or perfunctory to me.
You can buy HP Moonshots with ARM cartridges for relatively realistic prices. PayPal is supposedly running some of their stuff on them.
> Intel is run by profit-maximizing professionals.

To have a healthy and functioning market, there must be competition. Absent such rival, a company may behave in a way that is not in the best interest of the consumer. This idea is not new, Adam Smith figured it out centuries ago.

A company that has been established to make money is obviously going to do it as good as possible. Being an asshole while making money is obviously a decision -be it an explicit or implicit one- but to my knowledge Intel hasn't been pulling off shenanigans that is outright evil.
Since you kept referring to China's debt situation: China, while not as rich as Japan, is a large net creditor to the rest of the world. When one is told that China has too much debt, it is about debt Chinese owe to each other. Someone's debt is another person's asset. These internal debt/asset neither makes China poorer nor richer on the whole as they all cancel out at the natinal level.
Along the lines of what I was thinking, a new class. I wonder about Google shrinking too. It has been suggested that autocomplete was a way for Google to hide that the number of searches was flat (not growing) and they changed the definition of a unique search with autocomplete. Of course, people are doing voice searches and YouTube searches now. The game changed.
>Because Google won't pay Microsoft for it, won't partner with Microsoft, etc.

Where do you get that impression? They pay Mozilla, Apple, and several other companies royalties for referrals to their search engine.
Right. Urban Outfitters moved its customer support, sales and warehouse jobs from Philadelphia to the Augusta, GA area in 2005.

What I'm saying is that I have never heard this corporate master garbage. I know of a dislike for some farm companies but that is about the same degree other people complain about cell and cable companies. Anti-government sentiment was predominate in the old days, its nothing new.
While at the same time openly adding backdoors and censorship for the US government.
Certainly. However, there are many things where people are expected to reach agreement. It's not clear that this has to be the matter on which they learn it.

Indeed, considering the harm that can result, it's probably better if they learn to reach agreement on some other matter first.
These are likely old apps. App Store review guidelines will force them to include "While Using" when updating it, I believe.
Eventbrite in the last year or so has opened an office in Nashville and has around 100 employees there, mostly in Customer Support and Engineering.

I do not have the energy to go through sales... what is 'realistic' here?

And can they compete in cpu power per watt with the Intel Xeon D boards I can get from my local supermicro distributor? they look pretty sweet; the only real problem is the four dimm limit; I'm seriously considering those and 32gib modules right now, just because they have such a nice watts per flop.

Long-term, for it to be a realistic solution, I'll need to be able to buy compatible parts from different companies.
"English only (at present)"

Sorry, it doesn't seem that better to me.

Along these lines, do people here think porting Clojure to use the Go VM a worthwhile endeavor?

Or, to the contrary, if one just wants to avoid the JVM, would it just be better to write Clojurescript?

That being said, having one binary to distribute and install is a very strong argument for Go VM languages.

They should fix their incredibly slow OnDemand hosting - unusable! - painfully un-automatable upgrades and operations, and add realtime multiuser editing.
France gets a large percentage of their electricity production from nuclear, they are not better than germany (very antinuke) for it. Japan with very limited energy resources hasn't really made nuclear energy central to the energy production portfolio.

That's to say, it's hard to say this will benefit their economy. Maybe it does and perhaps best of all it has the potential to leas to breakthroughs which benefit economies beyond the borders.
Speaking of Linux kernel network stack enhancements, there's one I'm interested in but not sure where to start.

I was trying to setup ECMP on Ubuntu 14 and found I was constantly getting TCP RST. Turns out after digging into the code I found the path selection algorithm is not a consistent hash of a packet header tuple but rather pseudo-randomly chosen.

In older kernels there was a route cache so a path would be chosen and cached and so you would get a stable ECMP route per source. The route cache was removed so now the random selection runs on every packet leading to unstable routing.

It seems a simple fix of choosing the right hash function and maybe adding some configuration flags to determine which fields are hashes on (typically 5-tuple SrcIP, DstIP, Ip Protocol, TCP Src Port, TCP Dst Port).

But what would be incredibly cool is if my patch could one day possibly even merge to mainline. Is it reasonable to just blast a 'here's what I'm trying' out to netdev mailing list to get some feedback? I must admit I'm a bit intimidated to post...
It might as well be the other way around. Perhaps these men already have easy access, and are now frustrated that they cannot find women who can live up to their expectations (the real women are often covered by a burqa, after all).

Also, porn is known to be capable of messing up marriages, so I guess it will certainly not solve any problems related to normal family life (which is what we want these men to pursue), and the morals that come with it.
Hello everybody !

I just show you a little game I made in two weeks. Obviously I took my time because first I had to learn to program. ^^

This is a very simple game, where you must have a sense of vision and be fast.

It's possible to play it on mobile.

It would be nice to share it if you like it. x)

Thanks you all !

Eventbrite and Warby Parker have opened offices in Nashville in the last year for customer support, so it seems like a trend.
Just remember when you contract something out to a third party, you're not subject to their SLA level but their general level of competence. This can be quite a bit lower than the SLA, even if they are high profile or expensive. If you're lucky they'll bung you a discount as compensation but don't rely on that.

I speak with experience with Google, AWS and Rackspace.
