Link to Red Hat's policy (see section on publishing modified software on page 5): https://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/corp/RH-3573_284204_TM_Gd.pdf

I'm not an expert, but to be honest this sounds pretty similar to what Garrett is complaining about:

"You may not name or brand your product “Red Hat” or use the Red Hat trademarks in any way, either on your product or in related advertising."

"You must use a different trademark for your product that will not cause confusion with the trademarks of Red Hat, will not indicate or imply that your product originates from or is sponsored or approved by Red Hat, and which otherwise complies with applicable trademark laws."

"You may not state that your product contains Red Hat Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Linux."
This is my reply to everybody suggesting that the "solution" is eminent domain: The topic under discussion is why you can't build private mass transport system. Once you've invoked eminent domain, you've got a government project, because as the entity with the power to say "yes", the government is in charge. Even if they are nominally using a private company to do the actual work. (Which is also appropriate anyhow since governments should not be bothering themselves with internally developing such capabilities.)

I'm sorry I didn't spell out what I thought was a common-knowledge topic.

None of this is criticism; for exactly the reasons I discussed I don't see any practical alternatives to collective action at the governmental level.
Ask HN: Sharing a shared hosting account with non-technical clients
I have a few clients who run a separate "marketing" site on shared hosting like Go Daddy or Hostgator. For the "product" site there are great tools for tracking changes and deploying, e.g. git, pull requests, CI servers, capistrano, chef, war files, etc. But what about the shared hosting account? Mostly this is managed by the client themselves via an FTP GUI and Wordpress, but sometimes I'm asked to change something. I'm curious how people deal with this? How do you "scale down"? I can't force these people to use git. My goals are:

- get the whole thing backed up periodically

- track changes

- easily pull/push between my own development copy and production

How are other people handling this?
Graceful degradation in action.
Performance is the power feature that's missing imho.

The article uses "best" and "senior" as well, more often than "famous", and explains that the data refers to times when "the senior cardiologists were out of town" (anyone attending conventions, for example.)

It's unlikely there are enough "famous" cardiologists alone to have accounted for "tens of thousands" of admissions. If so, the meaning of "famous" is downgraded to those who are sufficiently senior, rather than how we usually think of "famous."
Fine with me as long as none if it comes out of fuel taxes, license revenue or anything else specific to vehicles.
> Despite often repeating the mantra “First, do no harm,” doctors have difficulty with doing less — even nothing. We find it hard to refrain from trying another drug, blood test, imaging study or surgery.

It's disappointing that the conflict-of-interest is not better recognized. Asking a surgeon if you need surgery? Do you really expect a person under a pile of medical-school debt to give you an unbiased answer?

Your general point is quite correct.

Both sides can certainly win in a futures contract and often do. A farmer sells his future crop now at a discount so he can buy fertilizer he couldn't otherwise afford, but without which there would be less crop to sell. Meanwhile the future crop buyer gets the crop at a discount. Win-win.

Pure financial derivatives trading can generate absolute winners and losers, but they know that getting into the game, and the advantage for commercial participants is that the 'gamblers' increase liquidity in the market.

This is a huge issue IMHO. It's interesting to see comparisons of different transit solutions by how many people they get to switch modes. For example buses usually are very cheap but get few people to switch. Streetcars on the same route are much more expensive but get lots of people to switch.
I'm 32 now. I dropped out of High School out of disinterest and obtained a GED. My interest was in computers; I spent my teenage years coding and (re)assembling computers.

My first job was an intern at a Help Desk for a media company, making minimum wage ($5.25 at the time, iirc). Toward the end of my internship I accepted an offer to continue working full-time, making 18k/yr. "You don't have a college degree," was the justification for that amount. I excelled technically, eventually taking on a more sysadmin role. After 1 1/2 years I began to question why I still made significantly less than my college-educated colleagues, even though I became a lead with way more responsibilities. Angered, I took the ACT exam, applied to state universities, was accepted, and left for college.

I switched majors from CS to Broadcasting during my freshman year because I was bored with the intro courses. In retrospect, this decision helped me become a more social person, as the Broadcasting/Communications curriculum forced me to work with others and do a lot of public speaking. I somehow managed to graduate in 4 yrs (I was lazy, hated doing papers and taking exams).

That was 8 years and three jobs ago. I now work at a well-known tech company making over six figures. All of my jobs up until now were because I knew someone and had the technical ability. I applied to work at my current job because I wanted to work for a tech company with a tech culture (previously all media + very corporate).

TL;DR - I despise school. All of my technical skills are self-taught. All of my jobs up until the present one were obtained because I knew someone and had the technical ability.
The argument being used is pointing out that roads are only sustainable financially because everyone is subsidizing them. The same applies for many subway systems and other forms of public transit.
And yet, Californians still grow rice, a pound of which requires about 300 gallons of water to grow. The 11.8 million gallons the kingpen used is enough to grow about 40 thousand pounds of rice, which is worth about $20,000. That is less than a quarter of the kingpen's water bill of $90,000.
I'm 33 now. I was an artist/painter. In about 1998 I started messing with computer animation. I went to art school and found my computer experience was more useful and stopped painting. My animations slowly became scripted with, Director's Lingo, Flash's ActionScript (a flavor of ECMAScript), and Maya's Mel(a flavor of C). Through all of these I learned the basics of programming and I was able to get work far exceeding what I ever dreamed of being possible as an Artist. I was interested in the internet as a place to make creative things and was able to get paid creating for people. I graduated college in 2004, the first real salary position I had was at a large advertising agency I got through a recruiter. I stayed for a few years doing work for huge clients and learning how to program and design better end products. In 2005 I joined an ActionScript user group and later that year started a company with two other friends from this. We learned Ruby on Rails and accepted any work we could find. We never quoted enough, we never agreed on anything, and we all learned a lot before totally failing. Through this I helped build a few MVP's for some startups. When the company folded I jumped from one startup to another building larger and more well crafted applications. Through this time I kept going to meetup groups and all of my work connections have been through relationships with people that I have met at them. I've been at my current startup for 5 years.
Two words for you:

Abraham Lincoln.

The long answer:

Consider, if the ship (which is called, for example, the Medusa) burns, we still can talk about The Medusa as a ship using its identity. People will know what we're talking about even though the ship has been destroyed. The ship is still a ship even though its been turned to ashes; its identity is not the same as its corporeal form.
I'm having a hard time parsing this sentence:

> It's a myth that trade liberalization moved any economy indigenously forward.

What does "indigenously forward"? Are you implying that trade liberalization does not move indigenous economies forward? Or is "indigenously forward" a term with which I'm not familiar?

I'm having a hard time with the statement as a super-majority of economists agree that liberal trade is a net boon, and hence, am wondering where the myth part comes in, but without understanding the latter part of the statement, I'm confused.
How Do Promises Work?
Hmm, I think I disagree.
It was pretty obvious to me that when they used the term "good doctor" they meant better by some objective criteria that many people use as a proxy for "doctor whose actions benefit patients". If "good doctor" had meant "doctor whose actions benefit patients" it would be a contradiction that most would-be readers could dismiss.
Using fresh water converts it into dirty water, salt water, or water in the air. Converting those back above the rate of the water cycle costs energy and therefore money.
The authors suggest it is due to a reduced number of unnecessary treatments:

>"Our results echo paradoxical findings documented during a labor strike by Israeli physicians in 2000, in which hundreds of thousands of outpatient visits and elective surgical procedures were cancelled, but by many accounts mortality rates dramatically fell during the year.27 Similar reports of decreased mortality during physician labor strikes exist elsewhere, with most hypotheses attributing mortality declines to lower rates of nonurgent surgical procedures.28"

http://archinte.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=20389...

However, they do not seem to consider that mortality rates are seasonal and so are the meeting dates. The seasonality differs for different causes of death. A quick search came up with this for heart-related causes, so for example:

>"When grouped by season, we observed the distribution of the 449 coronary heart disease fatalities to show a relative peak in winter (32%) and relative nadir in spring (21%)."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3756551/

What they should have done is plot mortality by week so we can see if there is a sudden dip around the conference dates.
In addition to the spyglass icon, if you are facing a chest/item that contains materials you've marked, they have a blue "glow" overlay that makes them stand out. Pretty sure that's part of the base game since the only mods I've installed are one to add more songs to Diamond City Radio and one to tweak lighting and improve ambient occlusion (just basic post-processing tweaks). Don't think the blue glow on tagged materials is part of either mod.

I don't know exactly what I got out of it, but six or seven year old me heard about Van Gogh's Sunflowers painting, and pestered my parents to take me to see it.

Ulam Spiral (2014)
There are a ton of stories about people holding out for more money from developers trying to buy up swathes of land. Some of them hold out for so much (including the effective infinity of "simply will not sell") that it actually ends up more practical to build around them. This is the extreme, but here's some pictures of the results of that sort of thing: https://www.google.com/search?q=eminent+domain+holdouts

I'll say again those are the extremes, but it's a common local- or regional-interest story to read about someone holding out for more money because they're the last parcel needed for some development or something. Usually it's an easy "little guy sticking it to The Man" story for the local news human interest segments.
Increase cost of "sprawl" and car ownership - increase price of parking, add tolls, increase property tax for "sprawl". Decrease price of more dense, transit oriented (ie development where walking or taking the bus is just as convenient as driving a car) - get rid of parking minimums, make FHA loans available on condos, add bike lanes, add transit.
Maybe when the top doctors are away at meetings the sickest patients no longer get transferred to the tertiary center for care and are kept at the local hospitals.
> New trees can eventually grow on a barren island as well...

Not necessarily (with no trees, the island is at the mercy of erosion) save for geological-scale "eventually". And that's not the same, the tree is lost and you need a new tree to take its place, that's not what happens to water unless you dissociate it.
That seems to mesh with the rest of the facts. Her family use in one month is still 1/3 less than a single Bel Air resident's daily usage.

It's perfectly reasonable to extrapolate his views against virtualization to a general case given these two lines:

"x86 virtualization is about basically placing another nearly full kernel, full of new bugs"

"You are absolutely deluded, if not stupid, if you think that a worldwide collection of software engineers who can't write operating systems or applications without security holes, can then turn around and suddenly write virtualization layers without security holes."

He clearly hates x86 more than most but his point applies in general. He's not the only one whose made it and there's truth in it. It's why high assurance virtualization... well.. applied high assurance to those parts haha. Also, why attempts at robust, resource virtualization typically pushed as much complexity out of the hypervisor as possible upward to the OS's that were on less privileged rings or capability-isolated depending on which system.

However, I said then he was wrong because the hypervisor and even VMM functions are less complex than a whole OS. The past examples showed they can be implemented very simply. We got further confirmation with the NOVA microhypervisor, OKL4 platform, separation VMM's (eg LynxSecure), and so on. People are still finding kernel flaws in the UNIX-like OS's due to architecture, language used, and intrinsic complexity. Many less problems in aforementioned software.
I was referring to Canonical's decision to make it difficult for others to use their work, thereby excluding others from their work.

> You can see that that 50 gallons/month is higher than your "generous" expectations of 1/3 of 178 gallons = 45 gallons/capita/day. While it's certainly possible to have a lower water use lifestyle, all evidence is that it's not a quick or cheap change.

I don't quite understand why the change would be expensive (unless the house is already severely broken in the way of internal leaks, and you would need to build a whole new plumbing).

My family uses about 110 litres per day per person, which is about one third less than this 45 gallons. And I feel I'm using water abundantly (shower every day, flush toilet at will, wash clothes more often than is good for them, one teenager still living in the house, etc.)
This is a myth. There were many, many other excellent libraries around the world when the Library of Alexandria was burned down. It contained few if any unique works, and even those that may have been unique wouldn't have held details of unrecoverable technology. It was a great loss from a cultural knowledge standpoint, but it's not as if the sum of human knowledge literally went up in smoke. It's more akin to what ISIS is doing right now.

"Islam is"... what? That's like saying "Christianity is..." Pick a flavour, then a sub-flavour; you'll still be making generalisms largely but at least you won't sound like a bigot.

Even better stop labelling things culturally. Do you have a problem with women's rights? Good, then fight for women's rights. Do you have a problem with the Azhan, with blasting music, with cockeral's crowing, with bloody church bells? Then your concern is public noise, not a culturally specific public noise.

I grew up through the 80s and 90s too and I'm not sure why you're that concerned:

- we mainly all still have global IP access on our broadband

- HTTP and SMTP are still fundamentally text even if you need TLS (just need the key to be able to read it)

- HTTP/2 has clear semantics that can make it look like text with a simple script

- NAT is annoying and yet essential ; it will be in an IPv6 world too.

the dream of everything having a public IPv6 address was always unlikely precisely because people want privacy for their devices, a (misplaced?) belief they're one step off the grid.

I suspect the work we are seeing with cloud technology around automated dynamic provisioning of firewall & routing will make its way into consumer edge routers and ISPs some day when the right app is there. Tinkerers always find a way.
Unrelated question - is anyone aware of why when you hear about cooperatives, it almost always pertains to food?

I love the idea of having cooperatives for all types of business (welding shops, software engineering groups, etc etc). It's such a great business model: promotes passion in employees, business decisions are vetted by multiple people, and many great things for the community.

I sometimes dream of starting a non-profit that pays for all the legal documents (the big one being bylaws and how it should operate under member management). So any Jane Doe not gifted in legalese could start a cooperative for her idea.

I mean nothing against the author and like-minded individuals and I have the utmost respect for people with such a "tinkerer" mindset, but often reading things like this on Hacker News makes me feel like a bit of a fraud, because my internal answer to the question above is basically "No, not really". I'm wondering if others feel the same way. Does it make me less of a "hacker"? I enjoy programming, sometimes I wonder how things work, but oftentimes I don't mind that it is abstracted from me and "just works", and I rarely if ever have the urge to integrate two seemingly unrelated things to create a unique hack.

Any program that is constantly being updated and/or re-released is, for me, the one I'm more wary about trusting.
As an example, look at djb's software. After a period in the beginning, you do not see the constant releases and updates.

To me, trustworthy software is software that is "correct", if that is even attainable.

Ideally, if the author is truly careful, it should be close to "correct" when it initially released.

Numerous releases and updates year after year to me suggests the software was not very close to correct when the author decided it was time to release. Or that the author is pandering to feature requests.

As with the parent comment, this is only an opinion.

NaCl and CurveCP have not been updated in years. But I feel it's more trustworthy than TLS.

I'm just a fool I guess.

My current status: CTO of an online education company.

How did you get your current job or startup?

> Friend's recommendation.

Did you go to college? Dropout?

> Yes, top 1 university in China. And yes for dropout, I quit my master when there was about 3 months close to my M.E. degree.

If your did go to college, have you ever failed a course?

> No.

Did you have to move to a different country?

> No.

How did you manage that and what was (in general) the biggest obstacle/low-point of your journey so far?

> I worked for a U.S. based company for almost 8 years and they kicked me out for bad performance when I didn't work as much as before (at least 12 hours per day, 7 days a week) because my son got seriously ill and I needed time to take care of him. Then I did some freelancing but got a really bad agency (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10433237). I lost my job, my savings and almost my son too.

During then, I was close to lose hope of life for several times. But my family kept me up. We lived a very low cost life for about half a year, during when I did some work for a friend who runs a small business and used that income together with my wife's (totally a little lower than 3000 USD per month) to support a family of four. You may think that was not a small amount but Beijing's living cost is very close to SF. That barely covered the rent, food, clothing and tuition.

I kept doing the contracting job for my friend and I did it well. I worked 20 hours a day and managed to get one of his projects done within 1 month instead of 2 that we agreed on. I had to because that was the only way for me to generate enough income. I kept this performance and workload. He was impressed and later on when a friend of his asked about a candidate for CTO position, he recommended me. Now I have built up a team and work very happily. I am paying off my debts month by month.

I think I may have been slightly off topic. It's just I feel I need to tell someone my experience. Life had been tough on me for the past 2015 but I am glad I never gave up, and have a supportive family.
