This proposal makes the EU cookie law (https://www.cookielaw.org) seem totally reasonable by comparison.

My first question is, what impact would this have on the European economy over time? Total devastation? Or would it ultimately amount to just a bunch of fines and legal fees that only the major tech companies can afford to pay, effectively locking out competitors?

In other words, would this merely be horrible for consumers, or would it also set the entire European economy back half a century?

I see DO's weekly backup as a convenience feature for if you need to restore your server, not as your primary backup method. Use the DO snapshot to restore most of the way, then run an up-to-date differential restore from your other (real) backup solution (that is hosted somewhere else).
> did it bother you, or do you think somehow the office of the American president is worthy of more respect than that of the Israeli PM?

Much more worthy, obviously. If you come with me hat in hand accept my aid, you damn well better be nice to me. If Israel wants to crap on the US president, that's fine, but don't then accept handouts from them.

At least the beggars in my town only swear at you if you don't give them money.
There have been some comments, but I'm not sure I've seen this excellent take on the issue.

From the linked document:

> So what’s the value of getting the vibration mode shapes of this little section of the Hyperloop? Simple: it makes pretty pictures you can put in your proposal.

and

> Nothing in this section of the proposal has “demonstrated the capability of the Hyperloop,” nor was it intended to. This is not simply an error. This is eyewash for the rubes, the surest sign you’re dealing with a snake oil salesman.

And now the winning design from MIT drops the air hockey suspension for conventional magnetic levitation.

The purpose of Hyperloop isn't to build a fast, new LA-SF link, it's to kill the California High-Speed Rail project. It's a classic case of FUD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt
> More broadly, we already live in the system that you advocate, and it does not work.

You still haven't made any specific argument as to why the system of balancing capitalism and socialism does not work, and could not continue to work without some rebalancing of the scales. Briefly, what is the alternative?

Pregnant women are screened out during the visa interview process to prevent this from occurring. It's not perfect, in the case of individuals receiving multi-year visas, but those are only provided to individuals who have spent significant time in the US, or have family members who are citizens. Also, a baby born in the US to a non-US citizen parent does not automatically confer the parent with citizenship or permanent residency rights. In the case of "anchor babies", the child usually will not have the right to sponsor his parents for residency until they are 18.
That is the distribution of the average degrees of separation for each person. What would be useful is the distribution of distributions of the degree of separation between each person and every other person.
Basic rules that have helped me over the years:

1 - No social media apps on my phone[1] that might be tempting to check during the work day

2 - No social media logins on my work laptop of a distinctly personal nature[2]

3 - Only checking social media when getting home and after a few minutes it's just tiring to wade through stuff and it makes it a lot easier to close it up and not be conditioned to think those outlets are worth the consistent attention

[1] This doesn't count Periscope which I use for promotional purposes or might come in handy in a pinch for sharing (but I don't open during work or watch many other streams)

[2] Social media doesn't include some forums, I'm strictly speaking FB/Twitter/etc. Forums are a different beast. Thankfully I tend to get tired of some which enable me to avoid them, or if I return, I've deleted my account and just read.

In general, it's to prevent poor people or single people from moving into the neighborhood. The suburbs want middle class families, with children, and everyone else can FOAD.

They don't want to be walkable, because then the financial threshold of car ownership is not a requirement for getting there.

Extend the idea of a playpen to older kids, and that is an American suburban subdivision. The inconvenience and unaffordability are features, not bugs.

Not quite. They got a handle on security when Linux list a fire under their ass.

Competition, true honest to market competition, spurs improvement.

The thing about Apple is that they may have competition on hardware, but they have no competition on Software.

If you buy a Mac or a iPhone, you have already thrown money at Apple. But you can easily assemble a PC without Windows and then install Linux on it.

Keep in mind that the latest US warship is not running Windows, but RHEL. That is a very big wake up call for Microsoft, where before we have seen the likes of Win2k (US ship) and XP (UK submarine) used around the world.

Those people are still (almost certainly) following me, but I'm not following them (evidenced by their comments to my infrequent postings). But unlike Twitter, that's not the default. Twitter: default one-way, two-way requires effort. Facebook: default two-way, one-way requires effort. You wrote that there are no one-way followers. I was simply trying to point out that it was possible to end up in that situation.

The connection is often more formality than anything else (we game together, play soccer together, blood-relations, etc.). And they seem to like my posts, so they're following me, but I don't care for theirs and unfollow them.
So what is the correct interpretation? At a high level, it seems like a reasonable simplification.

They have the money to buy more resources and a lot of those tasks can be done in parallel.
NIMBYs on the San Francisco Peninsula (Palo Alto, Menlo Park...) got their pitchforks out for a High Speed Rail project that would use the existing right-of-way and they managed to downscale the project dramatically. HSR wouldn't disturb them in any way, it would even make things better compared to the existing diesel CalTrain operation. Do you think they will be happier with a series of concrete pylons? Rail viaducts exist, and people are not exactly thrilled to have one in their backyard.

Following the highway network is great (and Germany largely does it for HSR) but the highway system is designed with very different constraints. That might be possible in largely desert or rural places without a lot of topography, but highways have curves and slopes incompatible with high speed as soon as you hit a significant topography.

The cost of right-of-way skyrockets in urban and dense environments that are exactly the ones you want to serve with HSR/HyperLoop. Both systems are on par in the regard. The mile-long tunnel to bring HSR in the heart of San Francisco is expected to cost several billion dollars. The cost of the technical equipment of that infrastructure for conventional rail is marginal compared to the cost of digging the tunnel itself.

Sure we could solve that, with strong eminent domain powers for the state for instance. But I'm not sure anyone wants that, nor that the Supreme Court would let it happen.
Oh, that's definitely planned. :-) Even better, my Learn Enough to Be Dangerous cofounders and I are working on a subscription service that will integrate text and videos for the command line, text editor, and Git tutorials, with many more to come (including the upcoming 4th edition of the Ruby on Rails Tutorial).

Simple. I don't have an account on Facebook/Twitter/whatever. While others might find it necessary I find them utterly boring and irrelevant. I think that not owning a smartphone helps a lot in that aspect. I have a dumbphone with a battery that lasts for weeks and I'm happy with my choice. As for e-mail, I have two accounts, one for work, one for everyone else. I don't check the latter while at work, ever.
The funny part about Outland is that it assumed men in the future doing offworld mining would all sport 70s hairstyles and smoke like chimneys. Go watch it again and look at the scene where they're having a meeting: the smoke is so thick in the conference room you can barely see anyone!

Of course, that movie had some other really serious problems: it seemed to assume that there was artificial gravity, but that it only worked inside the station, and stopped at the roof (so when a guy is walking around inside a tunnel, he's at Earth-normal gravity, but when another guy is making an ambush for him on the outside roof of this tunnel, he's in microgravity).

I really like this series because of the focus on developing technical sophistication as opposed to a narrow set of boxes to check. I've shared the enough command line to be dangerous with a friend who has flirted with the technical and I think it helped him develop the meta skill of technical sophistication more than any specific command line skill. It's a greater achievement than him knowing the all the flags for tar, because who does?

In any case, looking forward to reading through it and thanks for putting these out there!

yes, support exists today, its just not complete, i.e. its close but not completely feature parity with docker as the runtime. When it does get there we will all be happy.

So I should have been more clear, you can specify rkt today, but many things wont work, a lot of things have improved for the upcoming 1.2 k8s release but still not perfect. hence what I meant by "released", something that is can be viewed as a complete replacement for the docker runtime.

First time posting something here, my mistake.
Nevertheless, this post is about how we spent $100K as a startup in our 1st year. We visualised all the money that we spent in 2015 in a nice infographic (18% R&D, 12% PR&Marketing etc) so we can show it to our current and upcoming investors to increase their trust towards us and our credibility as young entrepreneurs. Transparency is always a great thing.
This post could be a good example for fellow entrepreneurs to get an idea how to plan their budget (definitely will depend on what, where, who and how but it can provide good hints). To also see where you could save money and where to spend more to make your startup better.
No one can predict if this is the right way to do it but in our case, this year we will save money on R&D and Operational Costs and spent more in Sales & Marketing to increase revenue.
Any feedback would be more than welcome.
Cheers.

1) It's very verbose. You pretty much NEED an IDE

2)Eclipse. I gave up on java a few years ago when it took 5 minutes for the IDE to open up and then would freeze up every few minutes. This was about 5 years ago now and I was using a laptop, so it's probably not an issue anymore but the memory lasts

I'm only marginally familiar with etcd (which I understand to be something like a worse Zookeeper) and CoreOS itself (which I don't see the point of at all -- I gather it's based on ChromeOS?). I would love to know if there's any kind of blow-by-blow account of why their stuff is worth investigating, kind of like Hashicorp does for their products.
Hi,

Here are the forums I've found

The benefit that a free market is expected to give to society is, as far as I know, that it will cause a "survival of the fittest" scenario in which the best solutions for a problem gain widespread acceptance and bad solutions die out.

Not at all the case. You're injecting Social Darwinist assumptions. The benefit of a free market is in having individuals coordinate their plans most efficiently based on their subjective preferences and valuations, with prices as an epistemic vehicle for conveying notions of scarcity, opportunity for arbitrage or other criteria. It is thus a continuous and dynamic disequilibrium process that one cannot anticipate through outside observation, as optimal outcomes are by definition always being revised, renewed and discovered endogenously.

But that of course only works if there is actual competition - which in many fields isn't the case in our current situation.

Competitiveness is one aspect, but a much more important one is constestability. Free markets are by definition ones allowing for the greatest degree of it. And I absolutely agree that our current situation is far from optimal. We are not discussing our current situation, however. Monopolies are a multifaceted subject, many of them based on rents obtained from IP law and hardly "natural".

Similar thinks can happen with large-scale accumulation of property.

There are things called diseconomies of scale that put upper bounds on the profitability and viability of being too big. Economic calculation issues set in, principal-agent inefficiencies, coordination problems and so forth. It is only through the subsidy of an exogenous body such as government that one can hobble along in inefficacy for exorbitantly long times.

Arguing whether or not Krugman is right or wrong about an issue is one thing, but it's another to say that he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a Nobel laureate!

For scientific code I've seen slowdowns, but in the end they turn out to be unrelated to Python 3 - e.g. numpy compiled against different BLAS libraries in Python 2.x and 3.x.

There also was a gotcha with replacing cStringIO with io.BytesIO: the latter copied the data even for read-only cases (when you want to have a file-like interface for a binary object), so it can be much slower.

To make things worse, Python 3.x didn't have cStringIO alternative which can be used to provide file-like interface without overhead, and most porting guides suggest using io.BytesIO instead of cStringIO in Python 3. So libraries like tornado, django and flask are affected, and likely some scientific libraries as well.

This problem should be fixed in Python 3.5: io.BytesIO becomes as efficient as cStringIO for read-only cases since Python 3.5.
By way of disclaimer, I don't really have the problem OP describes; don't really even understand it.

But I'll second pomodoros for pushing productivity and focus without killing yourself.

I'll add that daily exercise improves clarity of mind (read: more focus and other benefits). And having a busy schedule limits my ability to spend time on social media or sites like Hacker News; so when I do spend time on them, I tend to be more efficient with it (i.e., focus on those things most important to me) and feel like I get more out of it.

I think that last bit may be part of the problem for OP: the reward becoming harder and hard to get, requiring more and more time. Going cold turkey and then slowly introducing Facebook et al., back in might help a lot.
As one of the developers on LinkSF I'd also love to share ideas. We're about to do some serious rewriting after finding out our backend is going away. Really great to see new projects happening in this area of service!

>>by capricious random events swinging their way as opposed to others'.

The idea is you better be prepared when they start swinging your way. A lot of time the opportunity is there, but the person is just not ready, like there are job opportunities all the time, but a very few people qualify or are can even do the job.

A lot of opportunities open up if you travel some distance with the work on hand. They won't even be visible to you when you start working. They only come to you after you've done some work.

Sometimes opportunities are also 'next steps' to anything you do. David Allen talks about in detail in his GTD book.

Oh, you weren't talking about plugins.

The XUL removal is annoying but in theory the new system should be able to support almost everything the old system did. It's not going to be like chrome where you can't even change the tabs.

The extension signing is about the only thing nanny-ish, and they're trying not to restrict people. For the most part it's an automatic scan, they won't block you based on what your extension does, and you can personally use a build that doesn't care about signing. It's not perfect, sometimes there are delays, but they're trying. They don't want to be a massive malware vector.
patents.stackexchange.com is the answer to this. As you mentioned crowdsourcing as a means to scrutinize the patents, this website is exactly doing that. I hope someone on the jury panel at least refers to this website before awarding the patent trolls their victories.
They regularly are unable to create new droplets [or other control issues where you can't perform normal functions with normal latency] and/or have full DC outages.

Pretty much any use case where I'd use something like DO being unable to create new VMs, etc. is the same as an outage.
I predicted there'd be a lot of sanctimonious "I just don't have an account, they're a waste of time" responses, and it seems like I was right. That's great for you, but that's really not helpful to someone who already has an account and is struggling to quit. And it can be a real struggle. The dopamine hits on likes and favs and the fear of missing out on a conversation can be really hard to break.

Like the OP, I'm using StayFocusd and I've used RescueTime in the past, and it's actually been very helpful for me. Right now I've given up Facebook and I'm tackling Reddit next. I don't have a solution for my phone, but it hasn't been a problem for me because I leave it charging across the room when I'm working. It's still difficult for me during evenings, but I'll probably try something similar for that soon.
I agree with this sentiment. We can complain all day, but the fact that we have these devices and software that have been made accessible to us by Apple is astounding from a historical perspective. My parents are in awe of the calendar app, and apple maps, etc. As they should be!
