Matt Raible speaking on JHipster
Hey ptlab, it's something I'm very seriously thinking of adding to Trident, GitLab has recently introduced a built-in CI with a nice REST API I can use. It's not mentioned on the website yet because it's not a released feature.
Your very comment provides a hint that fragmentation depends on the state of OS ecosystem, not the OS per se.
Don't company Articles of Association (or the local equivalent) usually have clauses that govern these situations - shotgun clauses or similar?

However, my main recommendation - talk to a lawyer, the trick is finding a lawyer who actually knows about this stuff at the right level.
White House Strikes a Blow for Advanced Nuclear Reactors
Fascinating read, any innovator would relate to it. It's always in the hindsight that we can pin point the errors they made, but there's a lesson for all of us in here.

Is Anticipatory Design the next big thing?
In theory, yes. But in practice the drive would still see power applied and would not trigger the 'dump the cache' firmware until it was too late. You need a little bit of extra circuitry to warn in time before the power gets too low.

Usually this works like this: an external voltage powers the drive, inside the drive this voltage is split into two circuit paths. One drives a voltage regulator with a large capacitor on the far side of it, the other drives, usually accompanied by a pull down resistor an input of the cpu in the drive. If that input goes below a specified value then the cpu knows the power is about to fail and will trigger the cache write to the persistent media.

Obviously that only holds for the data already present in the memory of the CPU on the drive, the rest of the computer will have to fend for itself.

So just adding a capacitor on the outside will keep the drive powered up for half a second longer but won't initiate a cache dump (assuming that you're not going to end up powering the rest of the circuitry as well, you need to add a diode or something to avoid backfeeding the circuit that charged the cap in the first place).
This rule is not constrained only to english, it happens to exist in french too (and probably other languages).

Also, reading well written texts is supposed to expand your vocabulary and understanding of the language. How's thats suppose to work is someone is hammering the same words over and over again?

What stage the company is in? If it's too early stage, I don't think anyone can predict the success and it might end up as just another failed startup. Remember, the startup is more about execution. I would suggest to contact a lawyer to get any credible advise on it.
You've got 10 times my karma. You win. :)
I don't entirely understand why the pressure to publish at all costs is the issue here. The article says:

> This particular plot is a statistical smoking gun, and suggests that the positive results from the original studies (black dots) were probably the result of p-hacking. They were chance findings, selectively published because they were positive.

From that, it seems to me like the problem isn't what the researchers published, it's what they didn't publish.

I'm a programmer, not a researcher, but in college chemistry we had marble notebooks that we wrote everything down in. The notebooks made it obvious if a page was torn out, everything had to be written in pen, and if we crossed something out, we had to cross it out in such a way that it was still legible. If we didn't include data in our results, we were expected to explain why. The most valuable thing I learned in those classes was the importance and practice of auditability.

I doubt that my classes were unique in this respect and I wonder if this might be the solution to the problem. I've long been a proponent of people simply publishing literally all their data now that internet hosting is so cheap, and only publishing syntheses of the data in journals, giving anyone the opportunity to verify the author's conclusions. Psychology is different due to the need for confidentiality for the people being studied, but the full data should be available to at least the peer reviewers before a study can be published.

EDIT: To add to this, elsewhere on this thread there's a lot of discussion about people not publishing negative results because they're not interesting. But reality doesn't have a bias towards results that are interesting, only humans do. I don't know how to solve this problem, but at least making publication of your non-interesting results a condition of publishing your interesting results would be a start.

"It is kind of interesting that people actually need to look for synonymous words, because if you have one word that describes what you want to express, why do you need another word for it?"

Perhaps there's a word which more elegantly and accurately conveys your meaning, but which isn't on the tip of your tongue.
The point Alito is making is that if the prosecutor can't get assets frozen, then it encourages guilty parties to spend all their assets prior to judgement.

He is not assuming guilt in this case. He is making the case for why not allowing freezing unrelated assets is a massively bad incentive which it is in the interest of justice to have counter-measures against.

If one believe countermeasures is necessary, it becomes a tradeoff between the necessity of such countermeasures vs. the negative impact they have on the innocent.

The bar for that is clearly quite high given that courts e.g. regularly will hold people without bail, or set huge bail amounts as countermeasures against having people run off.

In this case it is "only money", so it's not surprising that they court would consider it acceptable in general to freeze funds pending judgement compared to depriving someone of their freedom.

> Defendants then cannot hire the counsel they desire, lose their case and go to jail.

If the public defender system is not a good enough safeguard for justice, then that is an argument worth making, but the issue then is not the defendants ability to pick counsel, but that a substantial proportion of all defendants are forced to rely on a system that may be insufficient.

If you could convince the court that the public defender system is totally inadequate, that would be a strong case for unfreezing enough assets to get adequate representation, but still not necessarily enough to make the case for unfreezing enough for the counsel you might prefer (to take the extreme example: if you're guilty and could hire anyone what's to stop you from finding a suitable friend or relative who is a lawyer, and pay them every cent you own to defend you, as a means of moving the money out of reach?)

This is absolutely no surprise. In Asia, WhatsApp was assumed to be on every phone and it was used instead of contracts, phone calls, and SMS for a wide range or business tasks like finding apartments, agreements with vendors, even public service announcements, during my time in Singapore. It's really not a bad idea if the security of the data can be guaranteed.
That's brilliant.

The equity is vested, you own it. You have no obligation to return or surrender it or even sell it. This is why companies have vesting schedules. Additionally, starting a new company with the same idea with the same team would most likely open them up to legal liability. The only thing to remember is that the equity is only valuable if the company succeeds, so it may be worth compromising by having them buy you out, or giving the company an option to buy you out at the next funding round.

Do yourself a favor and talk to a startup lawyer (one that's not used by any members of your team). S/he will be able to explore your options with you and help you decide on a good course of action.
He's in his own league
Does that mean they expect to extract 3.61 from the ad viewing portion and they've set that price for parity? Interesting. That's rather a lot more than one would expect.
"They're not saying he's presumed guilty, they're just trying out various scenarios to illustrate the effects of the laws."

Yes, but the important point is that the courts can only act with what they know at the time, not how some eventual case will come out.

If you expect the court to act under the "well sure, he's presumed innocent, but we have to cover the case where he's guilty too" theory, then we're expecting the courts to somehow figure out all of the possible combinations of actions in the future that might affect the money.

So let's take Alito's argument. We arrest a couple of brothers in suspicion of bank robbery. At the same time the bar owner opens a civil case for damages done to his bar during their party. Their criminal lawyer, getting a feeling he might not be paid (which sounds like a pretty good feeling to have) files a civil suit for his money.

Now we're having to ask the court to make a decision today about monies to maybe be spent or not sometime next year. This is ludicrous.

Yes, the money might be able to get away. But you've arrested the person, and that's all you get. Aside from the due process problems here, it's quite disturbing to see the government seemingly much more interested in the money than the crime. Something's wrong there.
Epic diagrams for an epic screen
Tsu is basically a pyramid scheme where the investment is your time. The "payments" they would give to their users are tiny, not enough for people to actually get any money out (except some outliers), and all what people are talking about on Tsu is: getting referrals to Tsu, making money from Tsu.

Somehow, Morocco was among the countries that used Tsu the most, and being Moroccan I was myself continuously spammed by people posting referral links to Tsu... so it's understandable that facebook blocked them.
ContainerSched conference announces free tickets for minorities
His comment provides a hint that fragmentation happens because device ownership does not provide an adequate means to update or access the device's firmware.

For lots of devices out there (sans Google Nexus-devices and other honest exceptions), the device firmware is locked down and you need to find and exploit vulnerabilities in the firmware to gain access and fully assert device-owners. While hobbyist hackers often are able to produce updated firmware (look at OpenWRT and Android if you need proof), actually gaining access to upload that firmware typically requires more expert knowledge. And thus most devices remain locked down for their full lifetime.

As more devices become smart and have the capability to work against you given hostile firmware (TVs, fridges, etc), this becomes more and more important.

We should legally be allowed to actually own the devices we buy, but if the firmware is locked down and out of reach, we can never truly own it anyway.

The devices can be (some already are, sans spying TVs) programmed against us. How can we know? How can make sure they don't?

Not to go all Stallmansque, but I find this deeply worrying and very unethical.

We need to require open access to firmware everywhere, for everything. Asking for all original firmware to be open is clearly unrealistic, but at least give us access to provide our own should we want to.
I did. But isn't science about trying to prove yourself wrong? :).
I was hoping it'd allow me to come back as a giraffe.

Have I come to the wrong site for that?
That is non starter I think. High performance expensive dev kits don't have good track record at facinating the market.
Keep your equity, you don't give back vested equity for nothing(trade it by all means for something you think worthwhile).

As was already said you could sue if they create another company.

Finally go talk to a good lawyer(pay, lots if you have to). That is probably the most useful advice you'll get on here.

Your co-founders are not your friends now and will screw you over if they think they can get away with it.

Maybe you could get a lawyer to write a scary letter on what would happen if they startup another company to convince them otherwise.
As much as I appreciate what the project is trying to illustrate I would think twice about really signing up for surveillance at second degree of separation. With Five Eyes surveillance reaching to three degrees of separation that makes me 'contagious', pulling every person I contact or have contacted electronically into surveillance as well.

This targeting of not only you but also everyone you've been in contact with is of course one of the reasons the system is so malicious.

As for signing up, then again, maybe it doesn't make that much difference in practice. With the Lists being as long as they are, two degrees of separation would have been a lot of people, but it seems that three would make for virtually everyone.
Would I even be able to add my friends to the surveillance systems, or is every single one of us already there...
Certainly does.

Near us (South London) the price difference between a 2-3 bedroom house in particularly good catchment area vs. an average one is at least 100,000 pounds, sometimes more...

Which makes it very clear that it's priced based on private school costs, given that the private schools near here costs ~10k/year (huge variations, but that's roughly it for 2-3 of the most popular ones)...

I've had the argument with my ex. over my sons school too. I had halfway given in and agreed to send him private, but we ended up sending him to the local school two doors down from me instead of 40-60 minutes travel to the nearest suitable private school, thankfully. But we'll be having that argument again over secondary school, I'm sure.
+1. That's what I do. I have a shortcut search so that I can simply type t <word> any time I need an alternative word.

It's not only useful for prose by the way. I sometimes use it to find the most appropriate name for a variable, function, API entry point, or for a small project.
That would likely be completely counterproductive. There's no such thing as a separate neutral group of practitioners. More likely what will happen is it will have a chilling effect on what science gets done. The Kinsey studies, for example, got as far as they did largely because they were under the radar for a long time. Imagine if, instead, Kinsey sent his study design off to a "separate neutral group of practitioners". They would likely have exposed the nature of the study and Kinsey would likely have been fired.
I don't think this once per paragraph rule is much of a rule. It might be a useful for adjectives and adverbs but that is it.

Very impressive, but it feels expensive to me. I'm cheap though.

The linked article was pretty light on the detail, and weirdly written. It never states how many cores the CPU has; I had to check Nvidia's page (http://www.nvidia.com/object/jetson-tx1-dev-kit.html) to find out: it's a quad-core so four cores.

Some pretty nice low-level embedded-style I/O on there too (GPIOs, I2C, I2S, SPI, TTL UART).
> That said, I still don't see from a practical point, how we can expect to keep privacy and progress?

I don't follow. How are the two mutually exclusive? Your false dichotomy between license plate readers and medieval times isn't very convincing to me.

> Laws are weaker than technology

Really? So since it is technologically possible for me to remove my license plates from my car, no judge will be able to make me put them back?

And, since it is technologically possible, it is ok for others to clean out your bank account, and you would have no redress other than to hack your money back to you?

Looks awesome!!
I agree. The interesting thing here is not even code injected into the laptop, but about fake writes.

Because the article states, that Verisign provide their KSR via the USB, which is than is PGP signed and that signature is checked visually.

But what about, when the DNSSEC signatures are written to the USB stick, which then is handed over to Verisign to be implemented. They are also checked visually? Or can the USB stick (the implemented logic) forge the write and basically modify the written results?
OSX's dictionary is quite awesome actually. I use that mostly and might also use Google.
And that also pays a much more meaningful tribute to those that paved the way, after all, any scientific advance is a minute layer added to a mountain of existing knowledge.
What is the point of the article? Shamelessly promoting Cleb Harper?

Seriously, there's not a single real argument or piece of data in the article, just a bunch of complaints about "first world problems".

- How does growing food locally in sub-optimal scale in urban environments stack against high-efficiency farms?

- Cities' water systems are strained and wasteful due to old infrastructure, and require that water is brought from hundreds of miles away, while some agricultural areas face similar issues, how does this compares with the average agricultural area?

- Why would someone try to grow anything in San Francisco using tap water?

“Everyone wants transparency in food. Anyone right now that’s building opacity in the offering to consumers is going to die.”

AFAIK, starving people are more worried with finding the next meal, not with the terroir of the wheat in the bread. Sounds too much like many SV startups: solving first world problems first.

"including boxes that create controlled environments to grow specific types of food"

So, instead of growing crops where they grow best, and efficiently shipping them around the country (freight accounts for 6% of the total food chain emissions), we'll use energy to create boxes that maintain controlled temperature, humidity and luminosity so we can grow our favorite crops just next door? That sounds totally inefficient for me (but I'd love to see data on that).

> Mainly because it's not as interesting. For every positive result researchers find there are dozens of things they test that just don't work.

That seems to be the core of the problem. Reality doesn't have a bias toward results that are interesting, humans do.

> Imagine if the first test of "romantic priming" didn't work. Would the researchers really bother trying to publish "Hypothesised romantic priming effect was just a wild hunch after all."? And would the journal accept it? No way.

So maybe they should.
Because the words aren't exactly synonymous, and different words have subtly different meanings.
These are old (320-520) SSDs we are using Intel 3500 & 3700 DC series and haven't had any issues. with few power outages in past few years.

840Pro is a consumer grade drive and has reduced guaranteed max write capacity and larger variance in quality from unit to unit. Instead you should use server type disks instead: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisit...
We use these in our analytics servers, they have stood up to test of time many times, and without any issues.
SSD tech evolves so fast that 3 years since release of model lineup seems like forever, especially in an intensive write prone environment(for example writing slows reading but by how much? DC level drives are way ahead in this and very consistent as per what we found out in our tryouts).
Google books ngram counts are a slightly more precise way to do this. But yeah --- this is my standard way to explain to non-native speakers what works and what doesn't :)
Am I the only one who thinks RAID controllers are a placebo and wouldn't trust anything but ZFS?

What was even more interesting is that our SSDs are connected to the Dell H700/H710 RAID controller which has a battery backup unit (BBU) which should make our drives power failure resilient. RAID controller with BBU in case of a power failure can hold the cached data until the power comes back, so that it can flush it to the drives when the drives come back online.
>A separate comment: I wonder if the time efficiency issues mentioned are really that severe? Since the problem is so small/finite.

Just noticed this. The beauty of my "sweet spot" scheme is that processing these 8 bit moves is almost as quick as processing a straightforward normal move representation (32 bits in my code because I store extra information to make moves "undo-able" - although 16 bits is reasonable). This is important for some of the things I want to do - For example I am experimenting with the idea of implementing a query to search a database of games for a position by literally playing through every game looking for the position (actually the hash of the position). The standard approach is (I think) to index all the positions in the database - which swells the database a lot. If you do a little math you'll see that you need the move processing to be lightning fast for this to be responsive in a multi-million game database. Move processing involving generating move lists in every position would leave the user waiting minutes (maybe hours!).
Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense.

Great article. I find disturbing how some apps are so hard to use not only by the poor choice of icons, but by not providing immediate and clear ways to perform the most basic actions.
The correct thing to happen in this scenario is for the other founders to buy out your share based on today's valuation (which should be modest but accurate according to what you've been telling investors). Anything else will involve a lot of lawyers and grief.

If they walk away and start their own company, they're handing control of this company to you along with all its investment and property, and that no-poaching clause in your contract says they can't hire away your team. I don't think they want to do that.
