As noted in the article, Oakland is containers only while Rotterdam handles other types of cargo as well, and their comparison is based purely on containers. However, all things being equal, it should be more efficient to unload a few ships with lots of cargo compared to lots of ships with little cargo.

That said, Oakland is somewhat weird choice, it's the world's 62nd busiest (by TEU) when Rotterdam is 11th. LA is the busiest in the US at 18th, with Long Beach (also greater LA) not far behind.

Ask HN: Inexpensive dedicated servers for testing Skylake?
I have some SIMD algorithms that I'd like to check for performance on recent Intel chips. In particular, "gather" performance is reputed[1] to be much better on Skylake than earlier processors.
Are there any cloud or dedicated server providers offering these yet?

I found http://www.reliablesite.net/dedicated-servers/quad-core-server/intel-core-i7-6700k starting at $99 month. But I'd prefer something by the hour rather than by the month, as it's really just proof of concept testing at this point, and I can probably do all the testing I need in several hours spread over a couple days.

I'm surprised Intel doesn't go more out of their way to make instances on these available to researchers and software developers. The potential of these newer chips is not reached by existing software, and it would seem to be in Intel's interest to encourage more research in to how to take full advantage of them.

> It makes absolutely no sense for "big beer" to try to "crush" craft beer

And yet, AB-InBev and SABMiller lobby against laws which make it easier for craft beer to be sold. They fight against self-distribution and for small distributors and for the dissolution of the 3-tier system, so that they can run the One Tied House to Rule Them All. They're happy to buy craft breweries with established names and products, but loathe to compete with them on fair terms.

> Finally: I call BS on the idea that Big Beer somehow ruins acquired craft breweries. Goose Island is if anything doing a more consistent and competent job now than they were prior to the acquisition.

1) Any time a brewery gets further from the drinkers its hop-forward beers suffer. Goose IPA being made in New York adds like a week to the time it takes to hit shelves, and for most hop-forward beers, that's a notable amount of time. (Goose, pre-buyout had very few hop-forward beers, and has more now. The focus of the brewery has changed. Many breweries will not scale, because they can't ship fresh enough beer to compete with the local breweries. Even Three Floyds, distributing across state lines can't compete with Revolution, Half Acre, Pipeworks, or Spiteful on freshness)

2) Look at this year's bourbon county release where consumers will be paying drastically more money for less beer, with their money paying for increased marketing and advertising.

3) Goose's other world-class beers are all but forgotten. While Bourbon County has risen to become a status symbol, written about in "What to buy for the man who has everything" articles, the Sisters, Juliet, Lolita, etc., are essentially gone. When they do show up, it's at much higher price points.

Goose Island has lowered the quality of its top-line while increasing the availability of its less interesting flagship fare.

Your assessment of AB-InBev customers doesn't hold going forward. AB-InBev wants as many customers as they can get, hence their purchase of Goose and so many more. They'd be happy to sell beer to anyone, and they're also happy to sell beer to people who don't realize they're buying from AB-InBev, hence the proliferation of brands.
The general principal seems to be replacing being distance X from the truth with probability 1, with being distance X/10 from the truth with probability 0.99 and distance X*10 from the truth with probability 0.01.

This is consistent with another reply which states that it guesses the true letter (sometimes incorrectly)
Can I ask what bootcamp?

I'm a technical recruiter in Chicago and see a lot of Bootcamp resumes come across my desk. I placed a dev bootcamp developer once but other then that I haven't been able to get them interviews because of the stigma behind bootcamps.

My theory has been that people with a math or science degree that join a bootcamp are much more likely to get a job than those from other walks of life. Do you see this as well?
I wrote a long response to this but decided to simply ask, what can a person do to act on the information, if it were provided?

Protestors in Syria or China could probably already guess what such a message means, so I'm curious as to the amount of information needed for a person to be able to act on it?

Yeah, C. elegans is eutelic (every instance has identical set of cells in same location) and after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sulston determined the lineage fate, scientists subsequently determined the full connectome.

C. elegans is the model organism of model organisms- a simple animal with many of the properties of humans but unbelievable easy to work with in the lab and it has a long list of properties that make it really awesome for mechanistic studies.
A database is a good example. For example, a database engine might benefit from being able to read large raw blocks from a disk and directly optimizing its own disk seeks, rather than using the common abstraction of a file as being just a stream of bytes.
I wish I could find the reference, but I recall someone once saying that sites like Google or Yahoo will provide a really subtle "canary" to indicate that your account details may have been requested, through just requiring you to re-accept the terms of service agreement.
I love the concept, but I want more details regarding the process I would use to modify my pet bacteria's DNA.

To me the ideal biolab is: digital genome data in, organism(s) out.

Interestingly, C. Elegans also autofluoresces- without the need for any special genes to be cloned in. When it dies, a bright wave of light passes through its body.
I would guess not, since Facebook is likely required to abide by laws in the US\EU which allow transparent access to information (through warrants or otherwise), as we have already seen.
Tedious HN thought police. Not everyone, not every culture, shares the aesthetics of communication implied by recent HN directives. I think we should consider the possibility that they are, though well-intentioned, overly prescriptive and ultimately oppressive.

Boot camps are great for learning a specific technology.

But you can't learn to program in 2-4 weeks. I mean, you can copy paste some stuff and make it nearly work, but not tackle real problems. CRUD is ok for a bootcamp.

Programming is easy for you to learn, because it is interesting. But now that "coding" is "important for everyone" there are millions of humans who thought nothing of programming -- besides that it's something smart people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg do that made them rich -- who suddenly have to learn it, or think they have to, to better their fortunes. They need to be taught; they haven't the motivation to grovel through man pages, howtos, or books like you and I. And they need to get up to speed fast.

Enter bootcamps.

Power only became regulated because it became so central to a functioning society.

In a couple more decades cloud computing will be almost ubiquitous and yes, it will become more regulated.

The AWS GovCloud region is already a move in this direction. Also the private cloud they are building for the CIA shows that AWS is willing to jump through various hoops for $$.

This seems pretty cool, and being able to display charts easily is a valuable thing to have. There doesn't seem to be any fallback for people to view charts if they don't have the extension installed, however. Even just a link to something like the landing page, with the chart they're looking for in place of the US/Russia Nuclear stockpiles chart.

You need to re-read the article. The first part of the Masters is the "micro" part, and is completed for relatively little money ($1-$2k). The second semester is done on campus at MIT, and will run $33k. Once completed, you will have the same degree as those who do it via the normal method.
I disagree. It's much harder now to scratch your itch than ever before. You can see it in how people like Linus Torvalds have an almost demigod status in that kernel hacking is considered to be a highly arcane activity. This is in stark contrast to the past, where writing operating systems was a much more mundane and common activity, not unlike writing your own web framework today.

Certainly some shortcuts like DDE, rump kernels and emerging flavors of libOS are now coming around, but it's still an uphill battle.
You are free to leave society and stop paying taxes.

No I'm not. No matter what I do, the government will try to tax any income I earn. By and large, they don't recognize any attempt to simply "drop out". And that's especially true if one remains within the "lines drawn on a map and labeled as the United States". But why should lines drawn on a map by dead men affect my rights? By what standard can we say that the dead have the right to bind the living, or the not-even-born-yet?

No, this "leave society" thing is a complete red-herring and has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

In this analogy, you are the roommate who stopped paying rent, won't leave and keeps ranting about Hayek. There is no man with a gun.

You can't "stop paying rent" because of the "man with the gun"! Or do you not think that if you stop paying "your" taxes the IRS won't eventually send "men with guns" (police) to arrest you?

You don't keep conspiracies secret by keeping quiet, you keep them secret by burying them in confusing noise -- plausible deniability. This is why we have crazy stories about flying saucers and people still believe carrots improve your eyesight. The truth is out there mixed up with all kinds of half truth and bullshit.

Radar is arranged to create overlapping coverage and handle planes flying weird courses (and switching to secondary targets and flying home). It's possible the US knows Pakistans air defence grid so well that it could pull this off but it wouldn't be because their radar is pointed at India.

Governments claim incompetence to cover up stuff all the time. "We lost those records." Suggesting that the Pakistani government is incapable of doing this is silly.
Protestors in Syria or China aren't the only people getting these.

As Snowden demonstrated there's no lack of westerners being spied on just because they happen to work at a telecom company.

The fact that there's no more information provided makes it far too easy for those people to just ignore these warnings as mistakes and go on with their lives.
I think the difference is the seemingly artificial restriction on the supply of labor, and the assumption that if there are qualified individuals willing to do the work for less cost, they should be allowed to do so. If the employers are blocked from hiring these others by those who are currently employed, this strikes many people as unfair to both the employers and to those willing to do the work for less, as well as to the public who in the end bear the extra costs of the inefficient labor market.

The presumed difference with white-collar work is the assumption that this pool of willing and qualified workers exists. Maybe it doesn't? I'm guessing that while there are many people who could be trained to be excellent computer programmers, but I doubt there is a significant pool of ready-to-go programmers in Oakland who are being blocked from employment by the current programmers currently holding a limited number of positions.

Well, we've been slower than we (and you) would have liked getting OPVault to different platforms. For sophisticated users, handling the switch should be fine. But we need to make the transition rock solid everyone.

If even just 1% of our customers end up synching a .agilekeychain on some devices and an .opvault on others, they will get data that slowly drifts apart. And we've grown kind of popular over the years. 1% of users is a lot of people.

Our transition from OS X keychain to Agile Keychain back in 2009 was an rough experience for customer support. And back then we were Mac only.

I'm not saying that the wait hasn't been longer than it should be. But our plans for a swift transition didn't work out as we would have liked.

But sophisticated users can switch to OPVault in most cases. See https://support.1password.com/switch-to-opvault/ for instructions.
> So the issue isn't that blue collar workers are "beneath" white collar workers, but that (at least to an industry outsider) it's not clear what special skills these workers have that would command high market wages.

You say the issue is not one of considering blue collar workers to be inferior ("beneath"), but your second clause implies that if blue collar workers do not possess "special skills" "that would command high market wages" then something is "not clear", i.e. the blue collar workers would be "lower" without those "special skills".

This presumes blue collar work and workers are inferior to white collar work and workers because blue collar workers need "special skills" to be equivalently compensated/regarded.

EDIT: qualifying condition for last sentence.
Interesting that it doesn't show up in any of IBM's literature until the S/360 which is referred to as a "mainframe". Most people I've talked with think of the 701 as the first mainframe computer.
A side point here is that it's incredibly hard to make people stick to abstractions when not sticking to them gives a competitive edge.

Say we've implemented your entire idea with JIT-optimized message passing. What would happen there is people learning ins and outs of particular JIT implementation and JIT-hacking being a required topic on job interview, just like today knowing millions of ways of hacking CPU cache is something expected from a professional (non-web) programmer (web programmers are expected to know there is something called 'processor' and that it doesn't like nested for loops; source - was a professional web programmer).

Anyway, while OTP does a pretty good job of papering over some of the local/remote objects difference and helps you keep the whole thing running even if something external breaks, I think it would be cool to go further in the direction of the ideas you just described.

They already notify you about likely unauthorized access. This is just additional notification for state-sponsored attacks.
If people end up with one set of devices synching an .agilekeychain and on another set of their devices synching an .opvault they may not notice until things have different far apart.

Preventing data loss is part of data security. So many of these decisions aren't so much a "security v convenience" decision but a "security v security" decision.

Ok, that is pretty cool. Next up, inducing neural activity in worms to drive them around. If you can go both ways (observe and predict, and induce and demonstrate) you really do have the worm's brain all figured out.

Then you build a mining robot with mineral sensors that can detect the ore your interested in. Now you strap in your worm brain and you have your local computer translate motion signals into robot motion, and mineral detection into food detection. And voila you have a robotic miner which forages around for ore to process.

I had 10/10 during years, yet outlook would block emails from one of my domains - even if I was replying to an incoming email!!

Microsoft seems to have lots of secret rules, blocked IPs and other stuff that nobody's really figured out.

I did manage to contact them one, I got white-listed, and email went through. But only for a few months, and then it went back to being silently dropped again. It was only for a particular domain. Other domains on the same host has no issues.

I had to move the client in question to Fastmail, since there seemed to be no way to figure out how to please MS, and my client had lost several big sales due to documentation being silently dropped. Fastmail deals with it somehow. I guess they have some human contact with some influence in MS anyway, being large as they are.

That's yet another example of apache config violating POLS (Principle Of Least Astonishment). You have a set of Allow rules and a set of Deny rules. If a request does not match a rule in either set, then what happens to the request depends on the ordering of these non-matching rulesets (!!) instead of a reasonable default with an explicitly configured alternate option.

It's also a bad name - there's no hint that this affects the default action; you just have to know ahead of time.
