The goal of Containers is to fully abstract the application. That can only go so far - the underlying infrastructure is still a huge part of the application. The responsiveness of a web application doesn't just involve efficient algorithms and storage calls, but also backend call latency, and transport time back to the user.

The infrastructure doesn't have to be large, but distributing parts will help the entire service stay online. Front-end nodes could be distributed to different datacenters, and back-end could also be mirrored or replicated between locations. With some kind of global load balancing, users can be routed to the nearest server for the fastest response.

The binaries have to run somewhere, either in the virtualized unit or its host. And Open Source or Proprietary, you're going to have dependency bundles - .NET, Java, etc. It might be more efficient to lump Containers by dependency so fewer of them need to be loaded by a Host.

I can buy that the 95% number is overstating things. But please focus on my original point; it's disingenuous to imply that abortion is not at the core of Planned Parenthood's mission. Even the fact-checking article (a little light on new facts, but I can understand its point) you posted says:

"Not all of Planned Parenthood approximately 700 clinics offer prenatal services because prenatal care is not Planned Parenthood's focus."

That's the point behind the number. If even simple prenatal care (vitamins, education, referrals) were part of the focus of Planned Parenthood, they would be tracked and we would see them in the metrics. Even the PoliFact article doesn't address the underlying point... that abortion is a (if not 'the') core part of Planned Parenthood's mission.

I hate Evernote for the same reasons as must people (because the software quality is garbage, and they just let it languish for years, as they roll out unwanted features). But, it is not true that there are many other products like Evernote.

There actually aren't any products like Evernote. There may be products like the subset of Evernote that you use and the subset of Evernote that this other person uses, but there is nothing directly competing with it on all (or even most) facets of what it does.

SimpleNote, Google Keep, OneNote, Apple's newly-updated Notes, Paperwork, Yojimbo, etc are often cited as potential replacements, but they all do only a small subset of what Evernote actually does.

A lot of people just need to take notes -- and yep, Evernote is a terrible app for that.

But I don't know any other product that lets you, wherever you are, instantly capture computer-based notes, scanned paper documents, contracts, billing statements, photos of napkins and whiteboards and trade show booths, etc. and makes all that content delegatable/shareable to different co-workers, searchable via OCR in multiple languages, and available in both the cloud and via native app across most platforms.

I am pretty sure there isn't such a product, because Evernote is so bad in terms of software quality that I google for one every month or so, and we are still on Evernote two years later.
I heard this a lot: Evernote sync-ing is buggy. Could someone point to me how to implement a good cross-device sync-ing algorithms? Or is it perhaps just as simple as using object version based on timestamp?

I've never done this before so I have no clue how easy/hard it is to implement one.

Interesting and thanks for the heads up but I don't believe I'm quite compatible with that software. I guess I'm also looking for usable-at-3am features, web accessible, phone accessible (currently iOS), centralized or at least synchronised, and the only feature Evernote doesn't seem to provide - backup-able files/database

Yes, some "beautiful people" are bland, with very symmetrical features, etc. What seems to matter is some mix of averageness, and ratios of feature sizes and arrangement.[0,1] But I've also noticed that some strikingly beautiful people not at all like that.

How does the sync between machines work, in your experience?

I know it wouldn't work for a lot of people, but I myself keep looking at switching from Evernote to "DevonThink Pro Office" because I would be OK with going Mac-only to get reliability.

(I know Devon has an iOS app, but my understanding from their own forums is that the iOS app is basically garbage, and the users are all basically waiting for Devon's rewrite that has been in progress for years; is that right?)

I do need it to reliably sync 500,000 items across multiple computers though, even if they are all Mac. Last time I checked, that didn't really work, the sync was a hack built on top of Dropbox and it had tons of problems. Do you use that and has it improved?
I started sleeping on my stomach for about a month, and one day my tinnitus got way way worse.. It was distracting me from work. I evaluated what I may have changed (diet, exercise, sleep). Eventually noticed my change in sleep habits, and switched back to sleeping on my back (with the help of Benadryl). Needless to say, the severe tinnitus subsided.

I have to imagine there are more things I can do with my posture / neck to further eliminate my tinnitus.
I think acconrad is just saying:

Decentralized is for sensitive things with a need for "extra decentralized security," and that most conventional needs can be met more adequately, and cheaply, with the services 'everyone' already uses.

Basically, it's a philosophical difference, but the ideas expressed may give proponents of decentralization some insight into why we are currently in another centralizing phase of the internet.
"What do readers who work in companies with at least 50 employees think? Would it be helpful to arrive at work and find an 11×17 sheet of paper across your keyboard with perhaps 150 metrics of the company’s performance?"

Performance metrics like these don't really help with many of the kinds of decisions we pay high-level managers for, especially long-term strategic planning. For example:

- Do we want to move into new line of business X? Would purchasing Company Y help us do this?

- What qualities are we looking for in the person we'll hire to replace our CTO, who just turned in her resignation?

- Should we be trying to negotiate a better deal with our health insurance provider when the contract renews?

- Should we change the way we recruit developers? Should we open a new office in Shanghai to get access to the pool of developers there?

- Is government regulation in our industry likely to hurt our business over the next few years?

The company still needs people to deal with questions like these, and real-time operational data doesn't really help with these kinds of problems.
How would you like it if someone said that to you? Do you act this way in real life? Sometimes I think the internet acts as a sort of alternate reality where people can just act like assholes without consequences. On the internet people cowardly hide behind nicknames, but in the real world you're exposing your physical identity to everyone. Things can get really dangerous.

Punks didn't exactly reject synths and certainly not on grounds of 'authenticity'. Suicide were a notable punk band who used them, while Magazine and Joy Division were big synth users and barely post punk. The reason they weren't emblematic with the first wave of punk was entirely down to cost - they were seen as a millionaire's instrument and therefore tasteless and decadent. Once Roland started mass producing, synths became far more popular with post punk bands and spawned an entire movement, from Cabaret Voltaire to Depeche Mode.

I'm not surprised by this. I have TMJ and tinnitus, and the tinnitus gets worse when I bite down.
Unlike you, I have at least taken the time to read the relevant license parts before discussing them.

Note that what you've argued before was very different from what you're saying now. You've narrowed the scope of the discussion (leaving out LGPL), but also its very nature ("legally impossible [1]", eh?).

Anyway, companies do use software licensed under both licenses, and even incorporate them into their services - hence the need for AGPL.
Maybe others wouldn't see GPLv3 as that much of a problem if people didn't spread FUD about its supposed "curse" ("no drama required" but you couldn't help it, huh?). And if they didn't defend harmful practices, like Linus does tivoisation.

But mostly what companies avoid is copyleft, because it mandates reciprocity and prevents leeching the community. For projects such as these, LGPL is an acceptable compromise. The only valid argument against it is that apps under incompatible licenses will not be able to use it where dynamic linking is barred, and such is the requirement for apps in the Apple's store. However, in this particular case, that wouldn't be a problem either if the platform itself provided a decoder, like iOS does for PNGs.
Theoretically.

I know if I burn 500 calories of fat I'll loose 1 lb in a week. And this is a 500 cal deficiency. But since I don't know how much of the burger I've digested or how much intensely my body is working to, say, regulate my T; I have no clear idea how much less I should eat

That being said N. Americans eat horribly and I agree they should put some thought into what they eat.

(Btw, I'm 6ft 2, trying to loose a few lb to get back to the mid 170s)
You seem to be imagining that the bombers in WW2 had modern bombing technology. At the time, they didn't have the technology to accurately target a single building (especially at night when the raids on London were conducted). They certainly didn't have the accuracy to target something as narrow as a train track. Bombing tactics at the time consisted of dropping a huge number of bombs and hoping that a few of them got lucky and hit something valuable.
I Guess that's true. "Deep trouble" to me suggests the company is running out of money and in somewhat dire straits. Which I don't believe to be the case at all.
They claim they can't do it on any new Intel hardware because the hardware is fundamentally incompatible with the FSF's goals:

I generally avoid Chrome, but I'll give that a try. I hope it works better than my experiences with both Safari and Firefox on OS X.

Those browsers have long supported what is mentioned in your linked article:

File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF

However, it's very hit-and-miss of what results you'll get. About 80% of pages come out fine, but the remainder can be quite awful. And it's unpredictable which browser will do better on any given page. At the least, you'd expect results to match printing to paper, but sometimes even that doesn't happen. Safari has a Reader View that produces good results, but I don't think very many websites support it.

Unfortunately, certain websites go out of they way to prevent us from saving them to PDF.

The status quo advantages: a (relatively) stable and strong currency, meaning net importers are helped. Of course, that means our exporters are conversely harmed when selling to a location with a weaker currency (as our goods become more expensive). A vacation abroad is similar to a net import. You consume something in a foreign locale paid for with US currency.

The confusion I have is your argument of "that can't be the reserve currency advantage, because it's already true", which seems to ignore the (strong?_) probability that it's already true because of being the reserve currency.

So if you have version dated 2015.09.13 (they released new build on that date) that means you have older version.
The distributor must apply the license to the entire work, but individual parts can always be licensed under different license.

Say for example that you created some GCC code and put that under MIT. When distributing GCC, GCC as the "entire work" will be GPLv3 which also then apply to the MIT part. However, the MIT license will also apply to that part, must be kept in every copy, and you could take that MIT part and put that into LLVM and GPLv3 would not suddenly impact LLVM.

When modifying a GPLv3 project, your own additions can always be any GPLv3 compatible license (as I stated above). In most cases that would not make much sense but in a few cases, say in a compiler, it might make sense if you want to use that code in several project with different or even proprietary licenses. Nothing in GPLv3 prevents this.
I remember seeing Crab a while back on HN, and thinking I don't see why you would want this, but when you mentioned thinking in sets it was way more clear. It may be cause I don't use SQL often that I didn't click. Prehaps that would be a good thing to mention on the website.

That study is indeed interesting. I just skimmed through it and read the abstract, definitely interesting.

The question now is, what is it? Could it be that the difference in food – not just caloric value of intake – has an influence? Did people start eating more prepackaged foods? If yes, what specifically influenced it? Why did it not influence Europe nearly as much?
Ugh, as an americano drinker I'd be annoyed as hell by this. I have a 52oz water cup at my desk, for me much of things is about the quantity of liquid so I dilute everything. I get my alcohol drinks heavily cut with mixers so they last longer. If drinks are small I finish them way too fast. So a tumbler of a mixed drink lasts me 8 minutes but the same drink in a pint with little ice and more mixer is more like 40 minutes. One leads to shitfaced quick and is a nice buzz. Same for coffee. Sitting at my desk with a small drink I'll finish it without noticing I'm drinking it. 20 oz coffee with the same # of shots and It'll take 30 minutes to finish and I'll actually notice and enjoy it.

I'm an adult, I can pay attention to what I order, and I'm not embarrassed to order things that are not directly on the menu. I'm tipping the bartender and the barrista so they make it the way I want it anyway.

It's striking to me that here on HN, where there's rarely anything approaching consensus on software user satisfaction (IMHO), evernote is being roundly blasted. These feelings weren't formed in 2015 (I've been disappointed by it for years), and yet they continued to let it fester. (Shruggy guy)
Unfortunately, their license comes in disagreement with what they posted on kxcommunity.com:

> That's why it now can only be used in a commercial environment for development and proofs of concept.

But license says:

> 1.1. "Commercial Use" means any use of the 32 Bit Kdb+ Software for the User or any third party's financial gain or other economic benefit. Any Beta-testing or production use of a User Application is Commercial Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are not Commercial Uses: (a) use solely for educational or personal purposes; (b) use by a registered charity or licensed educational institution, (c) development of a proof-of-concept application, even in a commercial setting; and (d) any use for which Kx has granted the User written permission.

This makes things confusing: one place they say development is ok, but in license agreement they say it's only "proof-of-concept applications"...
Rejecting something because you can't afford it, and then claiming it's because it's "inauthentic", sounds fairly punk to me.
This is a kind of wishy washy liberal attitude that is found all over. An attempt to say both sides of an argument have a point. Which is always true, otherwise there wouldn't be an argument. The part I take umbrage at is that it implies both sides have an equally valid argument. That is rarely true. Here JIT has been claiming superiority for twenty years. It has clearly failed. It's slower to start, slower to run, and uses more memory. That will very probably never change. It still has some advantages in some areas and some niches, but AOT has won. The war, if you really must use that term, is over. We see this in the resurgence of interest in C++ and in the move in mobile ecosystems to AOT.

1) I've read the first two books of the three mentioned. Oddly, the article's title applies only to the first book, in which Markoff elaborates on IA (intelligence augmentation) as a second front in the rise of computer automation (along with AI). Domingo's book never strays outside mainstream AI, and it seems nor does the third.

2) On a more generic note regarding the direction of AI... I think there's little doubt where AI will take us -- toward a future which is more predictable. The goal of AI is to recognize patterns and predict outcomes. Toward that end, AI and its integrators will gradually reshape business and law to make AI's job easier and more accurate. This will result in our lives becoming more conventional, predictable, and 'managed' by both business and government. Imagine a future lifestyle that's more like the clockwork of Sweden's or Japan's or Switzerland's than the Sturm und Drang that is America's.

I suspect a world shaped by AI will be less likely to resemble 'The Terminator' than it will 'The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit'.

> Because they relied on audio samples rather than sounds that were designed from scratch, the Kurzweils were known as additive synthesizers.

This is absolutely incorrect- this describes a wavetable synthesizer, which is what the early Kurzweil's were. An additive synthesizer works by adding individual sine waves together of various amplitudes and frequencies.
Bombing tactics at the time consisted of dropping a huge number of bombs and hoping that a few of them got lucky and hit something valuable.
