The article doesn't tell you much, but the actual paper [1] is fascinating. This isn't about tech. The data is for 27 million sales of packaged goods in convenience stores. "For example, customers who purchased Diet Crystal Pepsi are more likely to have purchased Frito Lay Lemonade (both of which failed). A consumer who repeatedly purchases Diet Crystal Pepsi is even more likely to have unusual preferences, and is more likely than other customers to choose other new products that will fail in the future. ... These customers who systematically buy products that fail are also customers who are more likely to buy niche products that few other customers purchase."

The authors of the paper don't attempt to attach an explanation to the results; they just look at its statistical significance for use in making marketing decisions. The effect is only seen in some product categories. If you read more into it than that, you're going beyond what the data says.

Does anyone know about the quality of telescopes in Romer's time?

Specifically, I'm interested in learning how big IO and Jupiter looked to him. I've looked up at Jupiter and Saturn etc. a few times through science class telescopes, never been able to see the moons.
The blood was collected at home? As in the patients draw vials of their own blood?
i appreciate you taking the time to reply, thanks.

some additional questions though:

1. are security groups opaque within convox or are they exposed to developers?

2. when you say monitoring tools are built in and you have tools for logging does this lock me in to the convox log pipeline and monitoring? what i want to use sensu on my instances? do i have to add sensu to every container? if you run, for instance, five containers per vm do i pay the overhead of five seperate sensu instances? same question for something like logstash?

3. you mention vpc. aws has proven stingy with vpc service limit requests in the past. i have trouble getting them to grant more than low double digits per region/account. can i run multiple convox racks per vpc or is the one vpc per rack a hard requirement?
How did they calculate the diameter of Earth's and Jupiter's orbit (it's mentioned in the article as known by Romer's time).

How is it really advanced?

I was under the impression that it's just another dynamic scripting language semantically equivalent to Perl5, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, and so on.

And obviously new languages of this kind aren't going to be very successful or interesting because knowing and using JavaScript is going to be mandatory forever due to browsers and with Babel and ES6/7 it's as good as any other such language.

Plus in addition to JavaScript, Ruby, Python and PHP have a lot of momentum as well.
I'm really not trying to compare Linode to AWS here. I just felt that it was necessary to mention that I work for Linode because there _is_ some overlap. I'm really also not trying to sell anyone on Linode in particular. I'm pointing out that from my own personal experience, AWS is grossly overpriced and worse than the alternatives for a large number of use-cases.

Augh, how did bosh slip my mind? I've never used it in production, but I've used it to roll out a CF environment for testing and was impressed to dig into it a little more (most of a year ago now, I think your mention of CF was actually what kicked that off). From (admittedly limited) experience I'm not crazy about its developer-facing feel, but I appreciate the significant and responsible effort in it.
That is a very bad thing for consumers. I'm assuming BitPay skims some cream from the top, so you would still have the same problem of cards.
no - there's a dude who comes with this very interesting sealed testtube (with a rubber seal on top) and a kind of gel inside. He takes the blood out (labor is cheap in India!)

You have to remember that Delhi easily exceeds 115 degrees fahrenheit in summer. this gel is supposed to stabilize the blood for upto 48 hours and it is shipped across the country to Mumbai where there is this massive test lab which does all the tests I have paid for.
Thank you. We're all figuring this out together.
While you can post your experience here and see what response you get, Hacker News is not exactly a platform for blog posts. Maybe posting your experience over at Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/AirBnB) and then linking here to Reddit would be a more successful approach.

Hi there. I wasn't looking to represent Linode tonight (just my personal opinions here), but I'll go ahead and fill you in. I can't say more than "I've made a note" of most of these things, but I wanted to mention that we're looking at overhauling some things that will definitely fix a lot of your gripes. Linode has been around for 13 years now, and a huge part of my job and the reason I was hired is to modernize a lot of the stale parts, including lots of the things that are frustrating you.
I think I see a slight problem here. Should we not consider the fact that we, seemingly, need all of this to start a project?

I feel that simplicity, and ease of use should rain supreme over features. The fact that this takes such a huge amount of other files to setup worries me.

Am I the only one with this concern?
I am especially curious to see that 'cheaper if you do it' done for their databases offers.

I'm using them in prod already, and trying to create a similar setup on real hardware for enterprise customers using pg, pgpool2 and haproxy is already a pain, and yet you couldn't autorecover them as conveniently when they go belly up.

This is correct. The biggest cost I saw was bandwidth, followed by cycles on their machines. MediaCrush was a "media hosting website" (see original comment) and as such, used a lot of bandwidth and did a lot of work transcoding things, and had a large storage requirement.

But knowing depth information is not enough - you must also very precisely know the position of the camera the individual pictures were taken from. Computing both depth information and position of the camera is in fact a very challenging task.
The scenario is someone else has set setuid on an executable which is vulnerable to buffer overflows.
Just left my host for a similar issue, Arvixe shared Linux server. One of the shared users apparently installed some utility called siteapps, which some how effected my side of the server, not certain what it all does but it started showing 'badges' on all my pages saying 'this site has been optimized by siteapps'. I found a way to turn that off in cpanel but the siteapps was still injecting JavaScript code into all of my pages. I could not see any visual changes to the pages but found this unacceptable.

I tried to contact support only to find out the company had been sold recently and the new owners saw fit to fire all the support staff and do away completely with telephone support for technical issues. Tried chat and after waiting, no joke, three hours for someone to show up in the chat was told that the problem was with my code. Even after telling the agent I could upload a blank page and the code would be injected into the page.

Long story short, I am now hosting on my own server. Now looking for a good host I can point my customers to, one that won't try to nickle and dime them like godaddy.

Mujis products are all cheaply made in China but I wouldn't call it a scam per se. It's applying high end design to low end materials the same as Uniqlo, Ikea etc have done.
Muji in Japan is a bit better, if only because the prices here are more in line with the quality. I agree that most of their stuff looks better than it lasts.

I just visited their brand-new store in Kyoto, and it looks like they're changing in the right way. More selection and hints of better quality.
In countries that allow self requested testing we see more people taking thyroid.

Not a synthetic hormone, actual bits of ground up pig thyroid.

Here's one UK doctor who rejects the current science around thyroid function:

http://drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Thyroid_-_the_correct_prescribing...

And she mentions another doctor: Dr Kenneth Blanchard

Neither of these doctors can work for the NHS. They have to work privately.

So, explain how "it's all about money" here? Who makes money by preventing her from taking NHS patients and mis-prescribing them thyroxine?

If you pooe around her site you see she'll happily point you toward providers of blood tests, and she'll interpret the results for you, and on the back of her interpretation she'll sell you some bullshit "miracle minerals mix" to cure anything.
Tried the pens and love em. Bought a few boxes full of pens, as we don't have a Muji close by and am still insanely happy with them more than a year later. The Pens are a joy to write with. And I'm picky as hell when it comes to pens :)

You sure can adapt the open-sourced solution, though I don't think Cassandra/Presto can match up to what RDS/Redshift can offer.

The key point is, running those things yourself, you are likely to lose all the nice failover mechanisms/monitoring/auto-snapshotting stuff that AWS offers. To live up to that, it will require you to not only have extensive understanding of the software you are running, but also a considerable amount of your time will be dedicated to Ops side, which can lead to some really big frustration from time to time. In that sense, I don't think you can re-IMPLEMENT something by assuming too much of comprises.
The same author refers to another article of him, in which he explains the basics of buffer overflows quite nice.

Uniqlo is strictly clothing. Muji has close to a department-store range of items (smaller selection outside Japan).

I think it makes a good job at dispelling the magic as much as possible.
This is fascinating because it's such a relatable physical demonstration of real physical CPU concepts such as overclocking, die size, voltage, reliability, tunneling/leakage, architecture, multiple cores, etc.

For any kid out there who's thinking "why can't they just make CPUs faster", this is a great way of explaining why. It's hard, and as you push the limits, reliability goes down. So the challenge is in keeping reliability high enough to be acceptable, and performance increased.

4) Native iOS / Android is still dominant, Javascript hybrid apps are only used by technically advanced companies

5) JavaScript loses popularity, MEAN stack loses popularity but alternatives aren't appearing, just more criticism of the javascript frameworks

Enforcing a delay may reduce the incentive to increase speed at the cost of strategic complexity. If the turbulence is caused by the interactions of overly-simplistic momentum agents, then increasing the complexity of the agents will stabilize the market. This should hold to the extend that increased strategy complexity also increases the variety of strategies in the market.

Think of the market as a liquid near boiling point. If the energy of the system increases too much, it makes a phase transition. To raise the boiling point, add impurities. This is a flawed metaphor in many ways, but it might offer a new intuition for you. Unfortunately, in the case of the market (and many systems) efficiency is the enemy of stability.

If you prefer a project-planning metaphor: BigCo executives have caught Agile fever. They see that 2-month sprints are more effective than 2-year project plans and they've heard their competitors are finding great benefit from 2-week sprints. BigCo decides to leapfrog the competition and goes straight to 2-minute sprints. They've tested their engineers and found that 2-minutes seems to be a lower bound on writing a chunk of useful code. The executives declare that all engineers must report accomplishments and re-plan their next activities every 2 minutes in accordance with proper Agile workflow.

Obviously, extreme speed is disastrous. I'm not saying to slow down the market to making an order once monthly. Just slow down from nanoseconds.

If in doubt, build a small simulation. Simple agent-based models can produce very interesting phenomena.
Anonymity and privacy apps are going to see an increase in users.
I personally like the idea of using good old Make for that task. You don't need "huge plugin ecosystem", you just need executables to use it. And unlike many other systems it does incremental builds without any special machinery.
Were you comparing bandwidth/data transfer in your numbers for EC2, S3 or CloudFront?
This was a big issue for me too. Google Compute Engine seems to have no throttling like AWS does, or at least it's a much higher cap. On an n1-standard-1 I routinely get 250+ MB/s, and near 1 GB/s for n1-standard-4 and larger. The only high bandwidth AWS instances I've found are the few expensive ones that spec 10 Gbit.

Ask HN: Which passive income streams would you recommend for a web developer?
I am a software developer for many years now. I want to do more projects for my own than for somebody else, and get out of a day-to-day job.

Of course, as a developer, there are many possibilities. I am a web developer, so the whole App ecosystem is not my favourite, but I could learn Swift etc. if needed.

The question is: What is your experience in creating a passive income? Which direction did you follow? Is it still worth investing time in an iOS App when you just have the weekends for the beginning?

Happy to get some insights.

I don't know, it was an anecdotal story from a while ago. Before we left AWS we were utilizing all three (iirc these numbers didn't factor in CloudFront though). Point I'm making is - do the research and don't just reach immediately for AWS.

Oh okay I was just curious. I completely agree.

I had great experience with Hurricane Electric. SSH access, servers without I/O bottlenecks. There's no cPanel or other crap pre-installed, so it turns away beginners and inexperienced developers who would write crappy unoptimized code that would take too much system resources.

So let me add some more detail.

The system is used to help reduce bandwidth, as well as including a better TCP algorithm for use over the radio links, to help cut down lag and retransmissions, because the radio links are notoriously bad, and the standard algorithm doesn't quite cut it.

The system will actively try to down sample both images and video to help reduce bandwidth usage. In the case of video, it also tries to limit the buffered video to no more than X seconds ahead.

And finally, it is also big cache, and it tries to keep the most requested content locally. One of the new features is the ability to 'guess' what video is being viewed inside a HTTPS stream and try to cache it too.

As mentioned above with regards to the Canada telcos inserting iframes or content regarding their data usage and caps, the system can inject any content into the HTML page if it is provided over HTTP. They do this because normally they have no way to contact customers that have tablets, or 3G modems / dongles, to alert them of limits or just to be able to contact them.

Many definitions of terrorism require targeting civilians. So your statements are trivially true. There have been attacks on people in uniform by people identifying as Muslims. These were labeled as terrorist attacks too, so your second statement is not true if you follow the broader definition.
