Your bathroom habits are a major part of you too, but that doesn't mean you bring them up in normal polite conversation. People aren't interested in hearing about your work (especially if it's in tech and they are not) just like they aren't interested in many details of your life which are very important to you. Your goal in social interaction should be to find common ground, not force people to want to talk about what you want to talk about.

> 1. Yes. 2. Yes. ... 3. No...

Good. Far too many people in these conversations have poorly-informed opinions.

> Folks who aren't running 'RedHat' (sic) use systemd, sysvinit, or ... upstart [sic] ...

These are init and RC systems, not services. :)

> ...or pretend to use upstart but as a thin wrapper to sysvinit.

I dunno. The Upstart project page says:

"Upstart is an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running.

It was originally developed for the Ubuntu distribution, but is intended to be suitable for deployment in all Linux distributions as a replacement for the venerable System-V init."

If I look at the file list for the upstart package, [1] I see that upstart provides its own /sbin/init, /sbin/halt, and -it seems- just about everything that's provided by the sys-apps/sysvinit package on my Gentoo system.

Also, sysvinit and sysvrc aren't the same thing. OpenRC -the default Gentoo RC system- is a sysvrc replacement. [2] It relies on sysvinit (or similar) to get its work done, and is an obvious improvement over sysvrc.

If you were aware of the distinction, and have the time, would you be so kind as to mention the top N worst things about sysvinit? If you weren't aware, and have the time, would you care to learn the distinction, and then bounce on back and answer the query?

Thanks in advance. :)

Realistically it's not going to be that simple though. The filesystem proper (e.g. ZFS) may verify checksums when pulling in data from a storage device, but then it's going to sit in the page cache for some arbitrarily long time. Whether by faulty DRAM, cosmic rays, or writes through stray pointers, that's a potentially major source of vulnerability to data corruption. There's of course a mirror-image vulnerability on the write path: you write into the page cache, and if something borks your data between that point and when it actually gets written back to storage, you end up persisting it (quite arguably worse, if perhaps less likely due to dirty data usually getting flushed within a reasonably short time).

Basically, the filesystem isn't the end point, and thus simply isn't positioned to really provide "end-to-end" protection.
I guess you're suggesting labor party is better at helping ordinary workers than corporations are when it is a fact that free market capitalism has lifted billions of people out of poverty in countries like Peru where I used to live and all around the world. Before countries like Peru embraced free market like they did in the late 90's, they were extremely poor, they now have a great and growing economy unlike say Venezuela or Cuba who refused to embrace the free market and kept their "labour party that caters to the needs of ordinary workers". How did that work out?
> Initially, the team was building a competitor to Google Analytics or KISSmetrics, but they had also built a library called Analytics.js that wrapped all the analytic services and APIs together.

They released an open source version of this library on GitHub, and it just started growing by itself. That forced them to reconsider their focus. What people actually wanted, as it turned out, was a simple analytics API.

I'm not sure I follow this description of the company's pivot. What is the difference between their own analytics service and an abstraction over another company's service? Why do media companies need to use so many similar analytics services, e.g. the 30 odd trackers on many news sites?
I don't think shame is an effective tactic, because it has no real "stick" component. People will always do what they can.

The only way to stop someone from doing something is to make them unable to do it. That's not solved through shame or appeal to emotion, because the people doing the bad things aren't going to express emotions.

Keep trying to shame them, and you'll simply fail. We need to build something they can't break.
Good catch!

Do you have support for that claim?

(I don't have an opinion; Trying to form one based on data)
If only it were so simple. The problem is we are not sure of all the genetic diversity of the life we have on Earth, especially the extremophile bacteria and archea [1] that are the most likely to survive the trip to Mars as contaminants.

My best guess is we will find organisms related to microbes on Earth. The really interesting thing is we might find organisms that are more distantly related than the our current last common ancestor. This would be amazing as we would then know that life originated on Mars and came to Earth later.

But keep in mind: This is only Germany.

Italy, France, etc still have insanely overprotective markets.
It's not always a good idea to grow your company outwards - if you're good at what you do, it's better to do it even better than to start doing other stuff you're not good at. Oftentimes, bigger teams and more resources don't help with that.

History is full of companies (eg. Lotus, Evernote, Clinkle) that lost focus and floundered because they had too many resources available, and also of ones (eg. Apple after Steve Jobs's return) that took off after they cut their product lines and laid off people.
> Bernie Sanders is an exciting candidate for you?

Yes.

> Do Democrats have anyone, anyone, under 60?

Age is pretty much orthogonal to what makes a candidate exciting, to me at least.

But, yes, the Democrats have lots of people under 60, including at least two of those running for the Presidential nomination in 2016: Martin O'Malley (52), and Lawrence Lessig (54).

We would also like to thank Luigi Rizzo, for his Netmap work and great feedback on our patches.

Clearly a useful contribution! The linked pull request looks like more of a finished product; I appreciate it even more when companies include the details of the sausage making.
This is the best thing since sliced bread. Resolved a lot of uncertainties to me (an engineer) about how this stuff works.
Some selections from Wikipedia:

> Later in his life [before 200 BC], Qin Shi Huang feared death and desperately sought the fabled elixir of life, which would supposedly allow him to live forever. He was obsessed with acquiring immortality and fell prey to many who offered him supposed elixirs.

> The ostensible goals of alchemy are often given as the transmutation of common metals into gold (known as chrysopoeia), the creation of a panacea, and the discovery of a universal solvent.

(emphasis mine)

> Plant extracts, including willow bark and spiraea, of which salicylic acid was the active ingredient, had been known to help alleviate headaches, pains, and fevers since antiquity. The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates (circa 460 – 377 BC), left historical records describing the use of powder made from the bark and leaves of the willow tree to help these symptoms.

All of that is drug development. In the case of willow bark extract, it was successful drug development. But I'm not going to blame the people of 200 BC for being technically less adept than the people of today. If they'd had the knowledge and tools we have, they would have done their development from that base.

Snake oil was named "Dr. Smith's Patented Flu Medication" to give the impression that the government officially vouched for its effectiveness, not in gratitude to the patent system.
Offer letter should be super standard. The offer letter generated by Zenefits is a single page...
So apparently having a life outside of work is now a left-wing political issue? All the conservatives I know and spend time with have hobbies too.

What does socially disadvantaged even mean? Autism spectrum disorder? Having nothing interesting to say? Having no interests or ability to socially interact?

And obviously I'm not referring to shy introverts when I describe these people as "techbros" "romping around town".

And it's Amazon. 11 hours is an underestimate.
I can't speak for others, but the headline make my guts tighten. I personally experienced bad ethics from LogMeIn when trying to report those "We have detected a windows virus on a computer in your house" scammers.
It sounds like an incredibly complicated process to get to "These options are no longer options, they are stock with basis zero"; Am I correct?
Yes, I would consider it force.

A few posts ago you said it all worked nicely and there were no poor because people did their duty.

But now in the Zakat system, you say that the rich are forced to give money to the poor.

It is not fundamentally different from a basic social welfare economy like much of Europe.
On one hand, I don't want to put anyone on the spot. On the other, you are working for a political campaign so I think legitimate questions (i.e., not partisan rhetoric) should go with the territory. Also, potential hires might want to consider these issues:

1) How do you feel about the privacy aspects of gathering all this information about Americans, especially potentially sensitive information about their political views? Can people opt out of your data collection?

2) Is the funding for Groundwork effectively more dark money in the election campaign? If so, do you feel that is detrimental?

3) A more technical question: There have been many campaigns on many levels, including Obama's, utilizing similar tools. Why build new bespoke tools from scratch (if I'm right about that)?
But violence just makes it easier for the other side to vilify your side and completely disregard your original point.

The story becomes 'people who think x are violent terrorists' and all of a sudden no one wants to admit they think x, or even discuss x from a rational standpoint. Everyone will just remember the violence.
Technically this is DSL over webaudio as it's transmitting signal levels and then interpreting them directly. If you wanted to encode the audio in the serial you would use a tonal system like frequency shift keying or phase shift keying.

So if you want to take this experiment one step further, consider doing FSK or PSK audio and add a non-return-to-zero (or NRZ) serial protocol. With NRZ the clock is actually embedded in the prototcol so with a software implementation of a phase locked loop you can recover the clock and data signal and reliably transmit from two different clock domains. (the article depends on you being able to hit one of the known baudrates accurately enough for the serial code to recognize it.)

Then for extra credit you can embed multiple frequencies in your tones, so that instead of sending ones and zeros you're actually sending 2 or 4 bit equivalent bauds. Then you can have fun doing a quick FFT on the receiving end and clock recovery to pull out multiple bits and the clock.

FWIW, the path goes very very very far down the rabbit hole.
Thanks! Every single post in that series seems very detailed yet the average software guy will understand them without much trouble.

I really enjoy the effort you guys put into those detailed blog posts.
Really cool video in this story, bio-printing with live cells and DNA.
I work for a newspaper and unfortunately it is all about "pageviews, pageviews, pageviews". In the 10 years I have been here (I'm 30 now) the newsroom has shrunk by 75%.

One of the first people to go was an opinion columnist whose phone always rang. He would take calls from supporters and not so supportive people. But the one thing that made him known, loved, hated...etc. was the fact that he was out there talking to the people.

Now what's left of the newsroom, +/- 10 people serving a community of 100,000+, are glued to their desk and dont leave the building unless its for a council meeting. A lot of them spend there day fluffing press releases and turning a quote into a full blown story.

I am in the minority in the building who believes having an informed public is important. Maybe I should start my own blog/news site for my city. Maybe I can convince some college kids to follow me and start rubbing elbows and pissing of politicians.
It wasn't a very important comment, but I would say that there are some people who get a "high" from collaborating with many people on problems (working really hard with a small team), and some people who get a "high" from learning things on their own and applying them, with the help of experts.

One person you could take as an example is the Pinboard founder. If you read all his blog posts, I wouldn't call him a "collaborative" person. Is he a highly intelligent, productive, and respected member of society? Yes. Collaborative? No.

My impression is that cperciva is like this, but I could be wrong. I'm more like this too, as mentioned. But you still need community if you're in this camp.

I think there is potential for higher overall growth when you have the right team, simply because there are too many things for one person to do, requiring many different types of expertise. Though there is not necessarily higher "per capita" return.

But growth compounds, so that explains why YC prefers co-founders over solo founders. But YC also acknowledges that there is a big downside to working with teams: co-founder disputes are one of the biggest, if not the biggest, reason for startups failing!

Paywalled article, can't read it.
The asbestos was stripped in the '90s, so that problem has gone. I'm quite sure there are all kinds of other nasties there though.

Maybe Paul Allen will get involved. He likes large boats and has the capital to finance a refurbishment.
> I dunno. Right now, we seem to be headed for Trump vs. Sanders. Bush and Clinton both imploded.

1) It's way too early for polls to be terribly meaningful.

2) It's way too early to write off the candidate who's currently leading in the polls[0] in every state but two[1], as well as racked up the largest number of endorsements faster than virtually any primary candidate in history.

[0] And who's also already won the "invisible primary" (note how few candidates are running on the Democratic ticket - there's a reason most serious candidates opted out of this primary, and her name is Clinton.)

[1] and only leading in those two states when polls include a candidate who's not even running (Biden)!
That gives us the 1000 years of ocean turnover. Is that enough?

If you meet the income requirements (>$116k if single, >$183k if filing jointly), you can contribute up to $5,500 per year into a Roth IRA which can also double as an emergency fund if need-be. You can withdraw all your contributions with zero penalty anytime for any reason. You just can't withdraw your earnings on those contributions without a penalty.
Thank you for posting this! It's a brave move and I think other companies should do the same.

One question for you: do you have any restrictions on the sale of your stock by employees before the stock is liquid? Specifically, do you have any provisions that say the stock can't be sold without board approval before shares are publicly issued on an exchange? I've had friends burned by this in the past....they throw down 5-6 figures to exercise their options, pay the taxes, etc after two years with the company, then find that they can't legally sell the shares without board approval, which basically means they can't sell until the stock is publicly traded. It's been particularly painful in one friend's case because he tied up virtually all his liquidity for what he thought was a very temporary basis in exercising the options, and now has no clear timeline to monetization (company's last round was B, no IPO in sight).
Yes, you can file an 83(b) when early exercising NSOs. In fact, some lawyers may advise you to take NSOs over ISOs for the portion of the grant you early exercise.
That's the case with most technologies.

I managed to skip the whole Angular/Mongo hype, and now that I'm actually getting back into frontend development, it's all about React. Can't say I missed it.

I remember telling my boss at my very first job "Yeah, I want to learn MFC and COM". His response was "Why? By the time you're out of college, everything will be .NET." It turned out he had underestimated: by the time I graduated from college, MFC & COM had been replaced by .NET, which had been replaced by webapps running under J2EE, which were just about to be replaced by Rails & Django.
When you have to bypass your operating system to get your hardware to perform, perhaps it is time to re-assess your choice of Operating system.

Labor parties in Western countries are free market capitalists. They aren't purists but neither are the parties of business, who use government to aid their constituents and distort marketplaces.

For a counter-example, the period of greatest (I think) growth in the 'West' was the 1950's and 60s, when their economies was much more highly regulated, government much more directly involved, and unions much stronger. Since deregulation and anti-union forces ascended in 1980's, at least in the U.S. most of the population's income has stagnated.
The project is led by a non-native English speaker. Maybe he meant to write: PHPBack is a feedback web application that you can easily implement on your website.
Which is insufficient to value the offer.

I want there to be an offer letter plus other materials which explain it. It's meaningless to say something like "12000 shares of stock, vesting over 4 years." That may be the legally binding part, but there should be an appendix or model which shows what that actually means.

The problem with making that a separate unsigned/etc. document is it isn't legally binding in the same way an offer letter is.

There's additionally the insanity around "stock options must be approved by the board at the next meeting after you're hired", which could be a quarter. That seems stupid. There should be some cleaner way to handle that.
Sure, you could liquidate your investments if need be, but you'll get hit with high short-term capital gains taxes if you sell equities you've held for a year or less. If held longer than a year, you'll pay long-term capital gains taxes, which are substantially lower.
I love this thread.

I think the general opinion from the 'cryptowars' in the 90s is that there is no such scheme that does't cripple the actual security of encryption.

Key escrow came up back then though I don't think it included needing multiple keys in order to decrypt - not sure if that's mathematically possible or if there's another reason that never came up. I suppose to the government that's not much different than still needing to compel individuals for the key.

Your point about companies is interesting since things like iMessage could be MITM currently anyway to get unencrypted content for government requests. I think most people don't necessarily trust the company behavior here though and given the government's recently revealed behavior with National Security Letters and secret, massive, unwarranted data collection I don't think they should get a pass. I'd rather side on the power structure unable to collect some of the information even if they're unable to investigate.

I think fundamentally introducing multiple ways to get keys takes a secure system and makes it insecure - the access no longer rests on one individual's knowledge. In general I think that's a bad idea - it also doesn't prevent people who want to actually encrypt their information from doing so (it just harms the regular public and dumber criminals).
That is correct, but the difference between the instruments is not relevant to my statement. I bought restricted stock when I founded a company, which vested over four years, and have taken options when joining as an employee. Almost chose to do an 83b election on my options using a loan from a startup I joined, in order to improve my tems, but I am happy I did not do so. Considering the risk of failure it is generally advisable to diversify your investments more than that.

Edit: rdl , for the loan from the company to do the 83b election to be a considered a loan by the irs it must have almost full recourse. You will be liable for it and the creditors will ask for the loan amount in case of failure.
