Do you have any data on this? Personally I would lean more towards poor trade policies and imbalances but would be curious to see some numbers on automation.
Tell that to the companies trying to push MIPS SOC's for Android smartphones. If it isn't ARM, they tell them to get lost. Likewise, for x86 + Windows. As ARM and Intel themselves say, being able to leverage the ecosystem of existing code, tools, talent, and so on is a huge differentiator. ARM on mobile (esp iOS & Android) has a massive ecosystem and many tool vendors whereas RISC-V or Wirth's CPU's don't have jack. So, manufacturers explicitly require ARM for high-end smartphones and SOC makers default on it despite ridiculous licensing cost.

Note: Areas like embedded in general with smaller, custom jobs don't worry about ISA's as much. Plenty of ARM, MIPS, PPC, x86, SPARC, Super-H, 16bits, 8bits... you name it. Much more fun space to be a programmer if you get to pick the cpu/board. :)

Yes, the literal meaning of the line is that the expected values of those situations are equivalent (without saying that those statistics are necessarily accurate).

But, based on DHH's other rants and the context of this piece, it's clear that he does in fact think the odds of success are higher without VC. (After all, if he didn't, this line would work against him.)
You mean sort of like npm?
To broadly summarize Indian tax rules & software:

1) You have a straight forward return (salary, interest, capital gains), the govt. website is good enough to file the tax. Cleartax is a tad bad friendlier.

2) You have a complicated scenario. Cleartax won't be a big help. Reason is that Indian tax laws lack clarity. They are written in a hard to understand lawyer speak that doesn't cover all the possible permutations. A local CA is a good option in this case, but also stop by the temple on your way back. Pray to god that tax tribunal is having a good day when assessing your "out of ordinary" return.

Look at these court precedents : http://www.moneymantra.co.in/detailsPage.php?id=6612&title=B...

They seem like a waste of court time due to inadequate clarity in tax rules. Or maybe they were purposely written like this so that corrupt tax officials can harass citizens.

In a world where journalism ethics and standards take a back seat to laughs or more clicks, I keep coming back to hn because you can find knowledgeable comments to help you understand what's going on.

Sure, people could communicate more effectively. Would we be more forgiving of the comment were the article a (slightly) ignorant joke about a topic hackers are passionate about?
I have a developer who can show a marked difference in performance between VMWare Fusion (paid) and VirtualBox (free) running Windows 7 on OSX. Same Windows ISO used to install both, and both running on the same hardware and OS, with exact VM configs (as close a you can get between the two). I'm talking a night-and-day difference - VMWare Fusion is usable, but VirtualBox is not.

After reading your comment, and admittedly not knowing much about hypervisors (yet), I am genuinely curious as to what else could be causing this drastic difference in performance, if not for the hypervisor itself. Any ideas?
Hi, it makes it fun for me. But I have started to understand how much variation in effect different strains of the plant can have after experiencing it in a controlled manner in Colorado since legalization. Growing up you'd generally get whatever was around and so the effects were unpredictable, especially as street dealers were either ignorant of the provenance or would call whatever they had whatever they felt like calling it.

But having gone through the retail process a few times and having the guidance of "budtenders" who will ask you what effect you're looking for, they really can offer you different types that will leave you more social than others.

Build a REST API in Minutes
I'm working on this project since a month ago, as a solo founder :D.
I'll be launching in December, and would like to get prior feedback beforehand :)

How do I overlap with Firebase / Parse.com? Yes, that's a good question! And I do overlap a little bit, but Oklio is more focused on letting you set and design your business structure (like designing a database) and expose it in a REST API. We'll even allow importing SQL files and transform that into a RESTFul API, how cool is that? :D

You'll be able to define how open/closed you want you REST API to be, define the level of authentication and even decide if you want us to use an standard like JSONAPI in you RESTful resources.

Please join us in our prelaunch phase! I'll be giving unlimited premium access during our beta phase, and all the kind beta testers will get an special discount once we start charging :)

Life in a Studio Apartment with My Wife and Two Sons
Deep Learning Pioneer on Pushing GPU Neural Network Limits
What a well-written piece. I agree that there is a lot of room for sustainable, technology based businesses. These are businesses that can optionally be run remotely and don't need to limit themselves to the bay area and its insane startup culture. They can work sane hours and be sustainable for their employees. They can provide products of real value. In fact, this is exactly the type of business that I'm interested in, the only kind with a success profile that's not tantamount to the success of playing the lottery, and the only kind where one can hope to stay in control and "be one's own boss."

These types of businesses are very much startups, but have a more traditional philosophy and generally plan to stick around for longer than a few years. I'd say such businesses are often a lot riskier for the owners as they're generally risking their own money and time to get it developed rather than someone else's money. Spending someone else's money is not risky at all. Failure in a silicon valley startup isn't a real loss: it's expected.

The people who venture out on their own and take their own risk with their own capital and time should be applauded for trying to create sustainable businesses that might be beneficial to the wider economy and society rather than creating ones that try to dominate a market for a couple of years and then almost inevitably fade out (as most startups do both before and even after IPO), not really adding much to the economy or society at all, while, of course, screaming the obligatory "I will change the world" mantra. In fact, it's this idiotic mantra and the lies one must tell oneself to actually believe it that turns off a lot of great talent form the silicon valley startup version of a business. Most smart people can eventually see through such simple, repeated, dogmatic ideas easily, and don't like to be associated with the brainwashed masses for whom these ideas are reality.

> If you mean coercion, then many things in society are achieved through coercion... So when you say that distribution of property is done coercively, then there's nothing really special about it.

It sounds like you're perfectly fine with my original reductio ad absurdum that it would be ok to force everyone in a wheelchair, or force everyone to shave their head, etc.

>And my point was that preserving that private property is also accomplished by force.

No it's not. When you or I own something we are not using force at all. Now it is possible that there are those who possess things which they obtained by force, but discussing those individuals in relation to private property is only an example of the violation of such ownership.
The right wing party (Conservatives aka Tories) just won a general election in May and now have a majority for the first time since 1997. They have been in power since 2010 but were moderated to some extent (at least on these kinds of issues) by needing to form a coalition with the Liberal Democrats.

So they are now moving forwards with a bunch of things like this that they wanted to do previously but were unable. See also: repealing human rights legislation.

It's worth pointing out that they only got 37% of the votes, but ended up with just over 50% of the seats in parliament because of the first past the post system. So the majority of people in the UK don't agree with them.
How on earth are immigrants who are clamoring to get into our country pulling it off then? And while still being able to send money home while they're at it? And without the benefit of our social safety nets (if here illegally)? Is their standard of living in-line with the expectations of the average American? Certainly not. Yet, they choose to risk life and limb to come here all the same. The problem, as it usually is, boils down to a gross lack of perspective. I'll stop short of calling it entitlement, but it's certainly naiveté.
There's also the hemp angle. There had recently been advances in the production of hemp paper and the plant produced fibers that DuPont wanted to replace with Nylon. DuPont and Hearst (who had a lot of money invested in tree-based paper) had economic incentives to reduce/eliminate Hemp from our society.

Hearst's yellow journalism tapped into the xenophobia and racism of the average American to convince them that this Devil's weed would have Mexicans and Negroes rampaging all across the country and having sex with white women.
> Kubernetes requires you to learn its CLI and configurations. You cannot use docker-compose.yml definitions you created earlier. You’ll have to create Kubernetes equivalents. You cannot use Docker CLI commands you learned before. You’ll have to learn Kubernetes CLI and, likely, make sure that the whole organization learns it as well.

That seems unfair, as as far as I can tell there are not "swarm equivalents" for most of kubernetes features.

Does swarm have any of the features that kubernetes does for scaling different containers or doing rolling upgrades?

It looks like [1] the swarm scheduler does not yet restart containers if a host goes down.

Well, not really. Higher-kinded type parameters are something that requires a kind (typeclass) system in the first place, which D intentionally doesn't have (as D's authors are opposed in principle).
I was more talking about actual hypervisors that run on hardware. Client hypervisors (those that run on an underlying OS) are an entirely different thing.

Real hypervisors are utilising a lot of hardware features to accomplish jailing. Client hypervisors may or may not be, depending on how they're implemented, and or how they're integrated into the underlying OS (e.g. specialised drivers, just simulating hardware features, etc).
Everyone exploits people in this way. Have you ever worn a suit or otherwise altered your appearance to influence the decisions of others?

In my view, a big failure of rationalists (coming from the typical mind fallacy, most likely) is that too little effort to manipulations of this sort. It's certainly a failure on mine.

Why proactive support should be the new standard of IT support
Except China tried something like that and Google abandoned the country. So we have at least one strong data point they're unlikely to do it now.

But basically, you can draw such arguments about anything. What if the evil government asks my local bookstore for CCTV recordings and credit card recipes? What if they ask my bank?

If your government wants to be evil, they will find a way to do this, regardless of whether people posted their data all over the Internet or not. The problem is with your government and not with the tools they would use in a hypothetical, unlikely scenario of going batshit insane in the nearby future. It's like a country deciding to destroy all roads and bridges because they can be used by an invasion force to quickly overrun the country. Well, they would be, but since you destroyed them your enemy will airdrop soldiers on you in the extremely unlikely future when they decide to invade. In the meantime, you have no roads and bridges.
GP is actually the second post in a week I've seen where someone mentions tracking rust changes, but rust has been 1.0 for a while now. Have there actually any backwards incompatible changes since 1.0, or are people really complaining about a problem that's been fixed for close to six months and even then was specific to beta versions?
Go has also been around/stable for a much longer time than Rust. They probably started this project well before Rust was stable.
> No, the EmDrive does not work

That is simply inaccurate to say. Just because they have not ruled out all of the errors in testing doesn't mean it does not work, that's premature. You're suggesting that you know with absolute certainty that it's an error in testing and not some new physics or undocumented effect (like the casmir effect). I find that presumptuous, close-minded and frankly, ignorant. Is it an error in testing? Maybe, probably. However, I would never say that I know something "for certainty" when I don't.

> Because it violates conservation of momentum

We don't know it does this yet. And again, it's inaccurate to claim it does because we don't know if it does. As I said in another comment, for all we know, the string theorists have it right and this effect could be pulling/utilizing energy from some higher dimension that we don't even know exists yet. There are any number reasonable (not physics-breaking, albeit far fetched) ways this could work. And one of them is unknown physics. To pretend we know all there is about physics is ignorant and close-minded. We're nowhere near close to understanding physics in its entirety. There are some huge problems we've yet to solve. When we do, they will most certainly give us more insight into our universe than any of the other discoveries that have come before (like reconciling quantum mechanics with relativity).
The big caveat to this data is that it excludes "Salespeople not categorized elsewhere" and "Managers not categorized elsewhere" since they considered those categorizations too generic and they would be the top jobs in every state.

It's supposed to be for devops, but in practice developers use docker as a way to solve dependency management on the server more so than to seperate instances of apps from each other. Especially with "microservices" it makes more sense to have docker available on the server and allow each team to upload a image with all the deps already baked in.
