Yeah academic achievement is not really a gold standard either for so many reasons too.

I smell some political/ideological bias, but yes thats completely undocumented.
Edge, how so? Is the idea to catch competitors with their "marketing -> marketshare" guard down?
SCTP is a pretty good choice. It has been a bit since I used it, but it is a more complex protocol and I recall often run in to challenges getting it to perform as efficiently over various bits of network equipment.

Last I checked UDT was far more complex than UDP, and since it is layered on top of UDP, I'd think it'd be vulnerable to this problem (although it had all kinds of logic for correctly sizing packets and windows, so maybe it correctly avoids this problem). Either way though, from an application perspective UDT looks much more like TCP than UDP, so I wouldn't think it'd be an obvious choice to replace UDP.
More to the point, 18F is supposed to be a self-funded organization that shouldn't draw much from the overall GSA budget. (Not sure if that applies to standing up the organization / hiring and other investments). It would be a hard argument to kill it. That said, The US Digital Service is out of the White House Office of Science Technology Policy (a distinctly political / appointed office) and USDS / 18F interact quite a bit so momentum could be a challenge if there was executive-level antipathy.
I see a blue dot for University of Washington, but I see no star for Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the Bremerton Naval shipyards (one of the last two functioning belonging to the US), and of course Naval Base Kitsap.

But Vice did not see fit to include a military hub star for the Salish Sea.
Yeah, I've run in to this. The point about NAT makes me wonder though if it is really de-prioritization or just the network straining to handle all that recalculation of checksums.
I've always been jealous of people who could do stuff like talk to "other" people or listen to symphonies in their head. But I just realized: I do all that stuff too, but only when I'm dreaming. The incredible environments, landscapes, and people that come to me in my dreams seem to exist outside my head entirely, because there's simply no way for me to conjure them when I'm awake. It's as if my brain doles out my consciousness only as a tiny, fractional part of its full capabilities. In other words, I am maybe not as much its master as I thought. I wonder if there's a way to unlock that ability in my everyday life.

Sidenote: I can sometimes sort of do it when I'm awake, but only when I'm really, really tired.
If this were a legal project, and a lawyer bid to do it pro bono, nobody would bat an eye. Why are we getting all riled up about it?
Netstrings are for this exact use case:

Thank you, that makes sense.
At least in the past, it really was true. I've been burned by this before using UDP in AWS. In AWS, I've learned to be skeptical of using protocols other than TCP. That said, it consequently has been a long time since I've tested UDP over AWS.
+1 we had the exact same bad experience with Zenefits.

It looked easy and nice at the beginning, but quickly became a nightmare when they did mistakes for half of our employees. Once mistakes were done, it became harder and harder to contact their customer service. The rep was nice but completely ignorant.

It's sad to see that Gusto/Zenpayroll, who provide a very high quality service, doesn't grow as fast as Zenefits.
> If you wanted reliable transport you would have used TCP or a higher level abstraction.

Nobody asked for that, just to send slightly larger packets that will probably get through.

> If you wanted simple transport of large data chunks, you would have chosen likewise.

Why? A 4KB data chunk doesn't need TCP more than a 1KB data chunk.

You know the 1500 byte MTU is completely arbitrary and many networks set it higher, right?

> You picked UDP because you have latency requirements that cannot be met by TCP, and that means you need to know what your packets are actually doing, and that includes fragmentation.

Fragmentation itself is a cost of microseconds. The main problem with TCP is head of line blocking, and moderately large UDP packets don't have to deal with that.

You don't need to trace every packet all the way through the network to get low latency and manually handle loss.

> the apps for which GCE is "unusable" are buggy apps to start with

Nothing you listed is a bug.
I thought that footnote was odd. It's acknowledging widespread sexism (implying that (almost) all public conversation about women is confrontational - or leads to a confrontation, presumably in contrast to most other public conversations (about men)) -- and calls for feminists to acknowledge that not all women wants to be/are confrontational?

The whole idea of fighting for equal opportunity is so that everyone can be more of who they are, and not have to fight more than anyone else to be heard, because of race, gender, sexual preference, social standing or any of the myriad of things we are so great at holding against people for no good reason.

Anyway, just as with the last time few times PG found himself in a minefield of mostly misguided political correctness -- I think this simply shows his general style of pragmatically voicing his thoughts, without much concern for overall social analysis. I for one welcome that, even though if read in in a certain light, he can sound anything from quaint to prejudicial (not so much in this article).

But he's not alone in that -- any neutral voice in a in-equal society can be seen as being oppressive -- of supporting the status quo.

I also see how people can get tired of being expected to fight, when all they want is get on with their work. It's a perfectly natural reaction. It's quite horrifying to see one of the more powerful women of Silicon Valley (?) not dare to be interviewed for fear of how her message will be twisted though. If anyone needed confirmation that there's a long way to go to equal opportunity in management, that surely is it.
$1 is not free, so fret not.
I started to read the first article, but I got confused, so I watched the video. The latter is probably a poor substitute for the former, but assuming the video is accurate (as well as my understanding of it):

Insulin sensitivity seems to recover once the high-fat diet has been curtailed. That makes it a bit different from the usual course of insulin resistance, no?

Along the same lines, it seems to me that a LCHF (low carb, high fat) diet may solve its own problems. What I mean is that while the body may be slow to respond to blood sugar spikes, that situation should be occurring infrequently, if ever.

On the other hand, it makes me wonder if "part-time keto" may be worse than the alternatives. In a situation where you switch from keto to...whatever, I picture fat-laden cells unable to deal with the sudden onslaught of sugar.

I do the same thing. I'm actually inspired by trying to talk to hypothetical instances of other people. I never did that. I normally talk to myself and to a lesser extent to my past self (when I was younger it would be my future self, but I'm currently in 'the future').

If there's a real person around I just talk to the real person, and on non-shy days this could easily be a stranger. It could make me annoying, but I also like to listen if it's about the same topic.

To me this all seems perfectly normal. My reasoning is that by activating more brain areas (i.e. Broca & Wernicke) and preferably also the pre-motor and motor cortices by moving (so walk while talking to yourself), the brain can make more connections to the content you're thinking about. That's just my hunch though.
Interesting, but isn't this a source of "fixing a typo" type of commits ? And making the VCS project history messy ?
Yes, it is. The reason is you can focus 100% on observing them, their body language, their words, and the dynamic of the conversation. Talking to them means you also have to be participating in the discussion. Additionally, with their focus on you, they are adapting their own style to how you react to it. You have to sort of do the same. That makes the patterns harder to see.

So, many people that do this try to detach themselves. That Jessica further keeps the image or at least visitors' assumption that she might be just a secretary is straight brilliant: almost nobody pays attention to such people. That let's her stay either 100% or nearly so focused on her evaluation of them.

There are two modifications that have shown to be superior. One is that one or more of the interviewers have the same ability to read people. As I said, the difficulty makes these rare people. However, you do see this among talented negotiators, intelligence types, and so on.

The other one is keeping the assessor outside the room but with full visual and audio to pick up the unconscious cues plus a feedback mechanism. This might be a computer or earpiece for one or more interviewers. The reason is that the character assessment might run into situations where it's too vague to make the assessment. So, the person assessing might give a suggestion to the interviewers for how to prod the person to get a specific reaction. This might happen a little or a lot if the overall team has worked together a lot. Eventually, the interviewers get so good at spotting these situations and remembering how they were handled that they intuitively create these opportunities for the remote reviewer without being asked. The results are a more detailed and effective evaluation.

Such a setup is not for everyone. Many prefer just having one or more people talking with another doing more listening and people watching. That's Y Combinator's setup. Many high-stakes interviews or negotiations use the latter method though with lots of effectiveness. That you can read the reviewer while the reviewer can read you probably helps a lot. ;)
I was one of Rdio's first employees (3rd) and have been a happy subscriber since Craig got billing to work. After FB employees got free Rdio, they gave Rdio employees free Rdio as well, but I kept paying—to retain the right to bitch. (I got a free account for my wife though.) My entire extended family have been paying for and swearing by Rdio for years.

I was introduced to Erlang at Rdio (this shaped the future of my career) and worked on the original implementation of the Heavy Rotation feature. I walked around the office asking people "Does this look right? How about this?" I'd upgrade Erlang code in production by hot-reloading the heavy rotation module, and walk around some more. It was fun!

In 2011, I realized that Rdio will never succeed due to lack of fanatical leadership—you can't have a company with absent founders, that's just not how it works—and left. I've been expecting this sort of an "exit" for a while.

Today I work at my own startup (sameroom.io) and every single day I'm grateful for the Rdio experience—mostly as a cautionary tale, unfortunately.

And now, we have to deal with this:

Fwiw, not trusting climate science is like not trusting geological sciences.

But sure, if you don't trust someone from the 'warming' camp, get a 'status-quo' camp person to check their work.

And as for numerologists - try looking for another person skilled in your actual problem, relationships, work, etc...

When a mathematician checks their work they do so by a different method, not just repeating the same steps to reach the same potentially flawed answer.
Yeah, I just switched to rdio and I love it. The interface is so clean and slick. It's a lot less buggy / unreliable than Spotify imo. It's such a pity.
Evaluating ClojureScript in the browser
The benefit of a lack of a decode step (for arm vs x86, but I assume the analysis is roughly correct for mips) was estimated at RealWorldTech as about 5% of a core's energy. Given that the amount of energy the cores take up as a portion of the total energy budget, I doubt it would matter for high performance chips - particularly in the face of Intel's 1-2 process generation lead over everyone else.

Admittedly, phone chips are a bit lower power than desktop CPUs, but they are pretty beefy these days.
That footnote does not even admit that gender discrimination exists, let alone address it.

It admonishes feminists for doing feminism wrong. Which I always find a little rich from people who are not themselves doing the thing. It feels to me like when non-developers tell me how to develop. My reaction is, "Oh, you know how to do this better? Why don't you show me?"

The point of this article also wasn't Jessica's involvement in YC. It was correcting the general public's lack of understanding of her involvement.

That lack of understanding fits the broad pattern of women being undervalued, and the work of women being written off as subsidiary to prominent men. It's a topic that has been much discussed, and was, as I linked, in the New York Times less than a week ago.

Given that he literally asks why more people don't recognize a woman's contributions, it seems weird to me that he lays it entirely at her character (and his), without reference to known systemic biases. That footnote only makes it weirder, in that he seems to be claiming sufficient acquaintance with the discussion of this problem that he should be aware of the biases.
Given their stated intentions, why would there be so few "boots on the ground"? Are our current intelligence strategies and mitigating policies keeping them at bay?

One possibility is they only catch people at T -1, or not caught at T 0, or there could be many more caught at T -X.

In the U.S. the ATF isn't disbanding just because we haven't seen manor action by supremacists. And just because we haven't seen any announcements does not necessarily mean the ATF aren't doing their work or aren't successful.
They've likely blocked your VPN because they think you're trying to bypass region restrictions. In this case they don't care whether you're human or not: they simply want to make sure you can't watch videos that would not normally be available in your country.

It's a ridiculous system, but it's unfortunately how media licensing still works.

You could try getting a cheap VPN endpoint device and putting it between your router and your residential internet connection. Then you could VPN to that device to access the (usually-blocked) YouTube while still using your residential IP (assuming the blocking is done on your router).
Yes, I understand that only the people involved in an arrest would have recollection of it.

But that is just the point. A database differs in degree from personal memories (it follows you around), but it is not different in the sense raised by a statement like That seems directly opposed to the presumption of innocence. (a second interaction could be colored by an officer's memory just the way an interaction could be colored by an entry in the database).
We had an identical experience.

I just counted and I have two threads with Zenefits - one with sales and one with acct mgmt. The first thread with sales has 38 emails, and the account management thread has 16 emails. All of this to get set up as a new, tiny little company (4 employees at the time).

The craziest thing was that I didn't need to be "sold." I had used Zenefits previously, and filled out the form on their site to create an account, and got kicked into an incredibly long and painful manual onboarding process that took over five weeks, multiple calls, and 50+ emails.

Gusto got us set up in 20 min. with one automated workflow.

I understand that enrolling in healthcare is a more complex process than payroll, but it felt like I was working with a very traditional insurance broker.

Running a startup myself, I'm usually really empathetic toward startups with growth pains, but there were many things about the process where Gusto far exceeded expectations and Zenefits really underwhelmed me.

Telegram: ISIS’ New Favorite App for Secret Messages
Sorry. I was presuming we were talking about about UDP fragmentation with IPv4, as this was the bug report and of course GCE doesn't support IPv6.

IPv6 jumbograms are a whole different kettle of fish, as they are really handled at the IP layer, and are supposed to only be for cases where you have an MTU > 65,575 bytes. As that link describes, the UDP protocol itself doesn't do any fragmentation or reassembly of those packets. RFC 2147 is really just an update to handle the fact that IPv6 can have a single packet that is larger than an IPv4 packet.
My experience has been quite different. I signed up for the Cloud Platform free trial a couple of months ago and they have responded to me the same day at the latest when I have issues. Hell, they even got back to me on the weekend.

Sounds a bit like OCD. If I keep my mind still, something terrible always fills the void and I have to give my consciousness something to focus on. When I was younger, I referred to this as "hearing voices"; it was a huge relief when I eventually found out about OCD and its symptoms. It's exhausting!
Thank you for the link. It was a good talk. Actually, I am struck by what a large percentage of the talk and this essay are identical in content.
Well, the router is also the DSL modem – so there’s nowhere to put it inbetween, and my parents hate modifying that stuff.

So I’ll have to pay more for a VPS that’s in my country just to make sure I don’t get hit by this again? Well, then fuck it, I’ll just use a goddamn free VPN or Tor or whatever.
No. He said "once it is known for certain". We're pretty close, but it is still reasonable to say that we're not there yet.

> Not possible. You can't send more than a 65,507 packet via UDP.

It's a thought experiment not a specific number. I'm trying to demarcate some of the differences between TCP and UDP, and UDP reassembling fragments looks a whole lot like TCP.
> If you need to transmit more than fits in one packet (1452 bytes)

You must never make assumptions about what fits in one packet. The MTU could be 100, or less, or 8000, or more.

As soon as you start doing math based on MTU values that you don't permanently have end-to-end control of yourself, you're setting yourself up for trouble.
I think your best bet is to solve the youtube filter/access problem in a different way. If you have a cable modem and/or wireless router, it may let you filter web traffic by MAC address (mine does). If your sister uses a different computer than you, you could block access for her MAC, and allow access for yours. If there's only a single computer, software that does web filtering with a password-based override would probably work.
> I do not think most Java programmers regularly care about the lack of abstractions like higher-kinded or union types.

When you become used to a given language, you start to reason in its terms. A programmer who is used to Java is used to its shortcomings and will not miss Lisp macros or dynamic types.
That's a very intriguing idea, I hadn't considered the possibilities of looking at public/private photos and sampling color values across to get some randomness. Private is certainly the key. With something like Birdseed, the randomness is totally public just as it is when getting randomness from atmospheric data. If someone figures out which wisps of clouds you are sampling or what search term you are using on Twitter, then the jig is up!
Why No One Can Design a Better Speculum (2014)
Maybe but IIRC Google announced supporting app indexing on iOS prior to Apple announcing deep link searching in iOS9 and was already supporting it on Android 2 years[0] prior despite Facebook decision to support it today.

I see this more along the lines of Google continuing their objective of getting us the information we want when we want it. Mitigating threats to competitors is just really a benefit of them continuing their innovation with search.

Lots of us live far away from our extended families, and phone calls don't really replace seeing pictures of your nephews. Email might, but in my experience since FB came around, people aren't all that interested in regularly sending emails just for you - I'm told that I should just join FB like everyone else.
> I don't disbelieve that is how it happens, but to me it just seems all a bit too magical.

I agree, so let me try to rephrase for you. For a bunch of people (YC et al) who actively promote making decisions with data, resorting to some ill-defined intangible such as "Social Radar" as being the secret sauce for success just seems noticeably contrived.

Take a look at arXiv.org and tell me out of all of them which papers seem to stand out.

There's too little time in a day and in a life for anyone to become independently aware of all happenings of personal interest. We rely on other to curate what we see, and it happens that many parties vie for our attention. Hence the development of propaganda and news aggregators, like the one you're on now.

I recommend reading Edward L. Bernay's work Propaganda for a more thorough understanding about the role of "PR" in society. It's a good foundation. I actually remember reading another rather good post by Paul Graham on the subject, which you might find interesting.
