> Supporting container workloads doesn't need to come at the expense of "traditional" virtualization...

Absolutely agree with you, I think machine and container virtualization should co-exist in a sophisticated ecosystem and it isn't an either-or. Just as server- and desktop-hosted virtualization should co-exist on another axis of the ecosystem.

I lack insight into why VMWare effectively gave up on holding down the desktop end of the spectrum, which essentially tells customers that the capability to scale from desktops to servers is no longer as important to its mission or business model. Perhaps native desktop OS support for virtualization is shaping up much faster and more robustly than we realize, VMWare execs see the writing on the wall and decided to exit the space on a high note instead of fighting future ever-declining revenues in that space, and they will count upon lower-margin solutions based upon native desktop OS virtualization features to address the desktop-to-server scaling issue.

When Hatcher said it was "lower level than WebKit," I took that to mean it has something to do with iOS/OS X's built-in Twitter integration.

Vimperator. It offers more functionality/hackability than Vimium as well (not that vimium is bad - I'm a happy user of both firefox/vimperator and chrome/vimium).
Look up the noise spectrum data. You'd need a rather dense sensor field to detect a signal outside of the noise levels.

In a way the film is a piece of art itself, but adding in the live feedback on the blog, and also the screening of it for the censors, it can be thought of as a performance piece as well.

> are the food you're supposed to be eating

Who said? It's not very scientific, but if this supposedly "good for me" food makes me crave more, makes me bloated, tired, and crash after 3 hours and gives me stomach discomfort, is it really good for me?

Oh, I went through it for years, my body probably knows best.
All illnesses are, by definition, bad. That is what makes them "illnesses" and not "wellnesses". You can argue about whether a particular differentiated state is an "illness" or not, but that is just the same as arguing whether or not it is "bad".

As for your point... I fail to see the connection. It seems to me that treading carefully when equating "brain health" with "intelligence" is entirely the correct approach, regardless of one's opinion on which specific things count as "illness". Are you saying that there isn't a single mental disorder correlated with intelligence?

> Vegetables are often relatively high in carbs but low in total calories

Exactly, which is why you're supposed to be eating a lot of them.

> I had two servings of corn with my steak, so the total meal was 760 calories, 33 g carbs, which is 17% calories from carbs.

760 calories and not a whole lot of nutrition. For the same caloric price, you could have several salads packed with vegetables, legumes and whole grains, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Aside from biographies, which are plenty and mostly good, there's nothing better than being able to go to the source! All of his surviving notes are available in illustrated and annotated forms.

> Until we solve this problem, throwing all the machine power in the world at it cannot create an AI that can do everything a person can.

I think this is disproved by approximating AIXI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIXI
I'm not claiming everything is fine. There are lots of problems with JavaScript as it stands.

I don't think the differences between the CLR and JS are "substantive" in that they make it impossible to build working, performant apps. So far the main things you have cited are (a) the lack of WeakRef and (b) a bad standard library. I truly don't mean any "insult" here, but weak references do not strike me as something that makes the difference between an app working (and working fast) versus being incredibly slow. WeakMap covers lots of the use cases for WeakRef already. On the native side, Objective-C didn't even have weak references until iOS 5. As for the standard library, developers just add lodash or whatever they need; it's not ideal, sure, but it's just a question of whether the functionality comes bundled or whether developers add it themselves.

If you add all the things you want to JS in order to get it up to parity with .NET by your definition, but do nothing to the DOM and rendering stack, you'll still have the performance problems people cite with mobile Web apps. On the other hand, if you do nothing to JS and fix the DOM and rendering stack, then I believe the Web will be able to compete with native. This is not to say we shouldn't improve JS, but it's not on the top list of things holding the Web back.
I never understood why when people cheered on the pursuit of US money in foreign banks why they never understood the big picture. The US government regardless of party is only looking after one thing, itself. While you may have talking heads sent out to decry abuse of the system they are their to misdirect. Politics wants money and not for the public coffers. While they will bleat all day how this money in foreign institutions is depriving the people and theft what they really want is control over the people who have the money so they give it to those they want it given too, themselves. It is the same when corporations sell themselves over seas, the influence factor is lost and in turn the ability to extort campaign funds

Recent related experience:

About a month ago a friend asked for help with his arduino project. He was having difficulty figuring out obstacle navigation. Getting the compass to work combined with the math strategy had him puzzled.

My suggestion, based on my experience as pilot, removed the compass and the math calculations. We both had a great time working with the implications of this new approach.

Offering a fresh perspective from a different domain was very valuable. Reducing the complexity of the solution to his problem made sense to me, felt good, and delivered an easier to maintain "product".

My friend is about 70 yo and has been developing software professionally since his early 20's. His resume is filled with pretty cool projects with notable peers in tech over those 5-ish decades. There was something very affirming about being able to help such an accomplished engineer in this manner. I learned a lot in that hour.

It seems unclear where the order to do this might have come from, and with the feeling in much of Europe at the moment it will be seen as cultural capitulation by many.

It's somewhat scary and the consequences are hard to forsee, but the combination of recent atrocities and the refugee crisis does seem to be reawakening various forms of European nationalism as people (rightly or wrongly) perceive their culture to be under attack.

What's this doing on HN by the way?
I gather the author works for an agency. I wonder if this has colored their perception of startups. Maybe startups that hire agencies for various things are more likely to match the author's rather bleak description. A company that actually is passionately focused on making users happy might be more likely to keep everything in-house.

By all means, lots of great, passionate startups hire agencies to help with all kinds of things. I just wouldn't be surprised if a whole lot of get-rich-quick dreamers did too.
I am not sure the main focus of hacker news is really hacking, it is more "VC backed startup stuff".. then various world news on top of that.

Money won’t make you happy

I have always hated this saying because it's worthless without the context of who is getting the money.

I grew up poor - money definitely made us happy because we could afford to move out of my aunt or my grandmother's house.

Everyone loves to cite the study that "above $75,000/year money doesn't make you happier" - without realizing that it's simply saying that there are diminishing returns above that point (standard economic marginal utility concept), not that overall happiness goes down.

The reality is that more money gives you different problems, not more problems and in fact opens up a world of opportunities that can keep generations beyond you above that $75,000/year mark.

Money is about what it enables and that is where happiness comes from. As a wise man once said:

"Money can't buy happiness [but it can buy] a WaveRunner. Have you ever seen a sad person on a WaveRunner?"
Interestingly, Java 7’s "native non-blocking IO" actually uses exactly that – you have a ServerSocket, and, if a user connects to the server, it spawns a Thread and gives it a normal SocketChannel.
Quantum computing is an area where the hype is out of proportion to the certainty about time until its feasible. With self driving cars there are arguments about the number of decades until it is in use. With QC the uncertainty about building a quantum computer that can be used to break current RSA keys is about the order of magnitude of the number of years.

There you go again with "insertion." HFT market-makers don't thrust themselves between two people who are about to transact. Their orders were already in the market, and you came to them.

The "Flash Boys" case is a funny one. The HFTs did see the orders--but so did EVERYONE else, and in basically the same instant, because all transactions are publicly disseminated. Your point is right in a very narrow sense and very wrong on every axis that actually matters.

I'm mystified as to why Flash Boys didn't valorize high-frequency trading. It's a Moneyball story where the scrappy nerds use computers and math to out-compete the dinosaurs. Oh well.

The cynic in me thinks of course Facebook and Zuckerberg are looking into AI. The computational nature means you need to send the queries somewhere central à la OK Google. For a business predicated on selling user data to advertisers, I bet it eats them up inside that they don't have their own Siri-alike. Without a mic to listen to us, how else will they be able to profile what we do when we aren't on Facebook?
I guess one way of looking at 2008/9 is that we avoided for a while what will be inevitable. That Severe price to pay is one I think we need to pay eventually. Forestalling it is possible, but it seems more responsible to realize that the longer we avoid it, the worse it gets.

Nobody is going to make money in a deflationary period, and excess consumption will fall, but it is still necessary to consume at baseline. The stock market is a very poor representation of true consumption, as it prices in too much of the future viewed through a very specific set of circumstances and assumptions.

It's not so much the content of the images but more the lack of variety. So rather than looking like the placeholder images you often find in empty photo frames, it starts to look more like an Emma Watson fan page. Which might make some people feel unfortable if their workplace has stricter guidelines about internet usage.
Well, legally that's true, but in practice, this makes you "not a team player", or something like that, and you won't be able to use the company as a reference ever.

You have to give at least two weeks warning to the employer if you want to leave, but if they want to fire you, they just show you the door without warning. Note that the employer may then just fire you anyways, so your courteous notice results in two weeks without pay. For some reason, this is considered fine, even in industries where it's a laborer's market.

Upon upgrading to Yosemite two years ago, Safari stopped working completely on two out of my three Macs (one brand new, bought just months before) with the third one intermittently working. Apple's software quality is really a joke and Safari is the new IE in many ways. Its support for standards is behind every other major browser and it hardly ever opens without crashing. Why would I use such shitty software when I'm not forced to? I avoid iTunes for the exact same reasons except when Apple forces me to use it to put music on their devices. The core OS X system is generally solid (other than the myriad of wireless issues Apple can't seem to ever solve) but the apps that come with it range from substandard to total shit quality.

Among other things, Palantir enjoys exorbitant privilege due to its ties with the US government and its "intelligence" tentacles. It is stands to reason that there is little or no firewall between the taxpayer funded technology/data assets that Palantir has amassed and what they are marketing to private industry. As a state sponsored entity, the burden should be placed on them to ensure transparency, and they should not be given the benefit of the doubt if they fail to assuage such implications.

Additionally, it might be good to understand the mentality of an activist or even just a person that is passionate about something. For instance, if you are anti-war, there is no such thing as an ethical defense contractor. If you are an anarchist, there is no such thing as a just government. If you are an activist against "surveillance capitalism" it stands to reason that there is no "good" enterprise that comes out of In-Q-Tel.

TLDR
Corbis, the photography archive owned by Bill Gates that includes some of the most famous pictures ever made, has sold its image and licensing division to a Chinese company.

Corbis, based in Seattle, was founded by Mr. Gates in 1989 under the name Interactive Home Systems with a vision that people would one day decorate their homes with revolving digital displays of artwork. That did not happen, but over the years the company acquired an enormous library of images.

But it has been the transfer of images from the 1989 crackdown in Tiananmen Square, an event that China’s Communist Party has aggressively blotted out of public view ever since, that has perhaps raised the most alarm.

“It should not be treated as a surprise if a Chinese media company’s decisions and actions were aligned with the policies and practices of the Chinese government."

Supposedly, some people lose weight on low-fat diets, and some on low-carb diets. A few can lose weight on either. And most people need high-intensity exercise to lose weight, while a few only need low-intensity.

> Most HFT strategies don't actually do this. Buying and selling in such a short period implies a pure arbitrage, of which there are very few. The ones that do exist are generally fully exploited by the single fastest participant.

I assumed most were of that sort. I still fail to understand what does being one millionth of a second faster accomplish if you're going to hold your position longer than that. It still triggers a competition for being the fastest participant that makes the transaction right after an event.

>Why? Automated market-makers are a middle-man that temporally bridge supply and demand between "real" buyers and sellers. Kind of like a grocery store temporally bridges supply and demand between consumers and farmers. Kind of like a car dealer temporally bridges supply and demand between consumers and manufacturers. Kind of like... you get the idea. Why are equity markets different?

That's an interesting thought. It may just be that the subject has a lot more elements that I haven't considered yet.

Here's something for you to consider and I would love to hear your POV on this. What if the regulators decided to ban all HFTs. Transactions had to rate limited by 300ms or more. In your opinion, would the markets behave any differently from now? If not, then what is being gained by all the major investments in HFT systems and platforms? If yes, then what do the markets gain?
Correct. The magnetic signatures seen are the permanent magnetic moments embedded in the steel of the ships, which are picked up by passive magnetic-anomaly detectors. These have to be removed by randomization in a normal all-at-once degaussing process.

It is hypothetically possible to have an active-detection process too, but presumably that would take the form of emitting a pulse of electromagnetic radiation and looking for its echoes, in other words it's just another form of vision. The standard problem applies: find a frequency at which water is mostly transparent. Unfortunately the absorption spectrum for water is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption_by_... , it has a minimum in the visible range.

In addition to being one of the more stunning confirmations of evolution (of course our eyes are only sensitive to the least-absorbed wavelengths of light in water -- our ancestors evolved eyes in the ocean! there weren't many other useful wavelengths down there!) this has the nasty property that it's unlikely that we'd be able to detect a sub this way with any better approach than shining a bright laser or spotlight or what have you, and watching what's reflected back with our own eyes.
