You say "rockets" and people conjure up the image of a smart bomb or modern American military missile.

The "rockets" that Hamas fires from gaza are little more than homebrew model rockets. They are scarcely larger or more powerful than the kind ameature models that rocketry enthusiasts fly. For some time now the Hamas rockets rarely even carry explosive payloads, and are only meant as decoys to trigger the Isreali Iron Dome defense system in a battle of attrition-- Iron Dome tracks and intercepts the rockets with more modern projectiles of it's own-- I've seen estimates that each Iron Dome response costs upwards of $20,000. I doubt Hamas has to spend more than $300 for each decoy.

This is not acceptable provocation for the kind of warfare that IDF routinely makes against Gazans.
The difference is that the last one also matches requests to "/", while the regex ensures that there is at least a single character after the "/".

That allows "/" to be used for other purposes, e.g. redirecting to the main page of the site, or displaying a nice error page. (However, in this case it simply shows the default Debian Nginx installation page: http://m.charlesleifer.com/ )
This 2006 history of the Harrier and its precursor projects (warning, PDF) from the Royal Air Force Historical Society goes into detail on the subject: http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/documents/Research/RAF-Historica...

The chapter titled "The Cold War Concepts of Operation for the RAF Harrier Force" (p. 55-63), written by Group Captain Jock Heron, will be of particular interest.
Good luck finding anything high in fats and processed in a modern supermarket. If anything, everything is low fat nowadays. With added fructose of course.
Couldn't an unscrupulous repair shop just install an event logger in the screen to get the password and skip this whole touchid business? Or even give you back a different phone that just looks like yours and requests your password?

Fundamentally, I feel the real question is who gets to decide who I trust. I want to choose for myself.
So they pleased users and complied with that judge order in one bat?

Here's the way I think about this: imagine you did this for a woman you want to date. How would she react? My guess, the same psychology applies
As with all other Forward Operating Bases (FOB), it will face the same challenges as any island during conflict. If you can exhaust the island's supplies and constrict replenishment, the utility of the island diminishes. In the case of Diego Garcia, assuming a conflict with China, they lack the force projection capabilities to effectively shut down the flow of supplies to DG. (Assuming the US submarine force > chinese submarine force in capability). Their best bet would be to render it inert using cruise missile and non-nuclear ICBM strikes to disable the runways, mine the anchorages, and destroy the fuel supplies. Bonus points if they can sink ships in the lagoon.
An economic threat backed by military power doesn't require a military response. We and the Vietnamese have all sorts of potential economic responses, although of course our's are much greater, including the "nice pile of US Treasury debt you have there, it would be a shame if we declared it worthless to anyone who might buy it".

And the PRC's actions are already getting its neighbors to band together, even with Japan (!).

Or there's the convoy approach, we task some ships and subs to escort convoys of merchant ships to and from Vietnam, following our long freedom of the seas policy. We're already sending the occasional Arleigh Burke class destroyer into the new areas of the ocean that the PRC is claiming.
Exactly. If you have a phone handy, you should give a call to a waaahmbulace for that entitled twat.
How does Gravitational compare to Replicated (http://www.replicated.com)?
DU is not a "nuke". It's kind of the opposite. It's the byproduct of the process of separating the more active isotopes from the almost non-radioactive one, U-238.
I invite you to check out our product, Quobyte (www.quobyte.com). Not open-source, but a parallel high-performance POSIX file system, with split-brain safe quorum replication of all components, can also do erasure coding for files, with policy-based data placement, running on standard server hardware.

We designed it to yield top performance both for (parallel) file system workloads and block storage workloads. So you can run VMs and databases on it with a performance better than any other partition-tolerant software storage system. The goal is to provide customers with a scalable automated general storage platform for all workloads, a la Google, but for real world applications.
I pondered the same point. If YC community isn't your target market, then this benefit is also of limited use or worse, damaging via creating illusion of demand which evaporates when you hit your target market.
What about FreeBSD?

Does that imply Netflix is transitioning away from FreeBSD? If so, why?
> 6) True “insiders” would usually not be making pull requests as they would have commit access to the repo.

Whenever I've used Github professionally, I've been encouraged to make commits to a separate branch and then make a pull request when it's time to merge the code into testing or master branch. Even though I have commit access, I still make pull requests routinely.

Am I doing it wrong?
You don't need to run a hedge fund to perform research. What a horrible mindset you have.
The right way to think about it is to realize that hiring is a very difficult business, and we all make mistakes. So it's not who they hire, but who they intend to hire. They still miss.

So A players end up hiring B players when they don't want to, and sometimes A players sneak through the B player's filter.

And this is why, when people that are apparently very good leave your company, you have to wonder if you have to much B team, and you are letting them run amok.
Fascinating and practical look at the concept and actual execution of censorship. Honestly I can relate quite a bit, having worked in Fortune-level business (with a similar Rule #1 which could be called "Never admit a company weakness") but there must be a lot more fear involved when the basic stakes are as high as the article describes - as in, freedom of movement. I think this type of reporting is helpful. Censored journalists or ones trying to curry favor (Tiger Woods) or ones just being inexcusably lazy or incompetent (Iraq War run-up) aren't really journalists, and that's unfortunate because they do a lot of significant public service.
We already have a transport pipeline; what's needed is a decently scalable, searchable, easy-to-use datastore for short/medium/long-term log analysis.
I can't see how a Chinese vs US war is in either parties interest. Surely China knows they can never take the US mainland and the US can't take China proper, so even if they win they get, what exactly? Other than deep hatred for their biggest trading partner?
Prior to the sentence in question, he writes this:

> Beyond merely detecting clichés, the program could also offer statistically unique replacements for each cliché [...]

I missed that the first time around. I don't like "statistically unique" either, and for the same reason. What I think he means is "statistically improbable." A cliché is a cliché because it's overused. So, computerized editing would want to replace overly common phrases with less common ones: hence, "statistically improbable."

I would recommend he re-write that sentence, and then re-write the other to jibe with the first. Strictly speaking, I don't think he should use unique in either place.
They do. There are now Xeon E3 notebooks that have ECC. It's something new they added with Skylake for that reason. They're designed as mobile workstations, so you're gonna be looking at at least $1700 for a laptop, but good quality's always expensive.
I (I'm not the author) shamefully do some cargo cult Nginx because I don't understand how the location matching really works.

My ideal web server would have a configuration that resembles a decision procedure in a programming language, so I can have a mental model for what makes it choose one route over the others, and how settings are combined, etc.

Somehow Nginx repeatedly makes me and my coworkers very confused—are we crazy or just mildly incompetent? Should I read an Nginx book?

(One time I wanted to do something fairly straightforward, I think using a conditional inside some block, and when I looked in the manual it warned very strongly that this might cause segmentation faults. I was like WTF?)
Sorry, you'll never fix this alone. If you do this, you won't be a "team player".

That's what unions are for.
> I've considered federal work before but every time I think hard about it, I keep coming back to the scene in Snow Crash where the fed works at a place where every little action - the time you arrive, the time you leave, whether you take the stairs or use electricity by taking the elevator - is scrutinized and judged. Yuck.

I work for a defense contractor, and while we do have some annoying DCAA-mandated timekeeping policies, it's really not half as bad as the Snow Crash FBI. We just have to write down time in, time out, and the amount of time worked on each contract each day (in tenths of an hour). The first two are only because the DCAA mandated it, and the third is for accounting purposes (IIRC, the company gets paid based on how many hours are billed to each contract).

It's because of this, by the way, that overtime is virtually nonexistent here; we can't bill the government more hours than have already been agreed to, and it would be illegal to lie. Thus, if we end up staying late or working on a weekend to meet a deadline, we take time off later in the month so our billed hours for the month match up with how many the company is allowed to bill.

Oh, and I'm an openly transgender person with a pink stripe in my hair, and I've never had any trouble with either. There's also no dress code, everyone knows that I'm a heavy drinker outside of work (and doesn't care as long as I don't drink at work or come to work drunk), and the environment is relaxed enough that we can talk about any subject during breaks.
Trello does this well, they put up a "What's new!" banner that presumably marks a cookie or localStorage so you don't see twice.

"Single address-space OS". Is this in order to support less advanced processors without good memory protection support?
The problem is that this kind of workflow -- where someone iterates through multiple versions of a file or folder, renaming them each time -- results from the work they are doing offline and the lack of offline version control usage. Adding a step where you drag and drop your iterations into a website might only add to the confusion, rather than actually alleviating that pain.
Interesting. Did you guys pivot from helping people find clinical trials?
Right now it's being used to build out the Air Defense Identification Zone they claimed over the south china sea a couple years ago and back up their claim with the threat of shoot down. By projecting force over the South China Sea, they, in essence, use the islands to turn it into their own private lake and effectively take over what are considered international waters render moot the ongoing arguments at the UN regarding islands and mineral rights. If the geological estimates concerning the amount of oil in the SCS are correct, it's a major coup and has the possibility of turning China into a net oil producer.
I'm wondering if there exist better (simpler) solutions than GlusterFS for the case where files are strictly write-once.
The first "stable" version of the Rust, version 1.0.0, was released in May 2015 - wikipedia.

Seems like Rust needs a few more laps around the track.

( Rust is from Mozilla Foundation, perhaps we can see some alternate implementations of their products to see how reliable they are with Rust ).
Perhaps not a hedge fund, but something to prove your claims.

How a Basket on Wheels Revolutionized Grocery Shopping
If you discover a problem with a product, you either don't release it or you fix it. You don't need to tell others (and others don't have a right) what you've discovered.

To think otherwise is to think that my invention that I have locked up in my head that would benefit society (according to you) is something you have the right to force me to disclose.

Privacy exists for reasons and is a basic human right.

EG: do those who think you should have to disclose everything you know have pins on their phones? Think Apple shouldn't be encrypting phone data?
Being in a shelter is a privilege. A shelter is free to make their own rules. Since quite a few of the residents may be fighting addictions or may be recovering alcoholics, the shelter may ban all alcohol and drugs to help in their recovery.

For example: I am a vegetarian and don't allow meat in my house. It's my house, I can set the rules. If you are my guest, you have to abide by them. It's quite simple, really.

It allows china to press economic claims in the surrounding waters. Such as exploitation of resources, and interfering in commercial shipping.

Overall it's a chess move. It allows China to exert pressure on the region. Similar to Iran and the strait of Hormuz.
That's a pretty insightful article. I wish I had that 20 years ago when I met my future ex-wife. Let's review my list:

1. we don't understand ourselves. (check.. plus). At least not then.
2. we don't understand other people. (check). I interpreted them as what I wanted them to be, not as they were. Note: all the little foibles and peccadilloes will add up.
3. we aren't used to being happy. (check). I was driven then and had been for so long. Suffering to me was success so being with an extremely difficult person was actually 'comfortable'.. or at least familiar.
4. being single is so awful. (no check). Being single was great then and now. (but it's harder with three kids..) Looking back, I was single living in NY..and have absolutely no idea why I got married... But this leads to..
5. Instinct has too much Prestige. (CHECK CHECK). Love this line (and maybe I'm just too stupid to really know what it means), but I interpret it as 'I know what's right' (ostensibly). I really thought I knew what I was doing.. I was always such a know-it-all, did absolutely no homework on what really binds two people together and.. there you go.
Well the F35 certainly doesn't belong on that list, being fictional an' all.
I believe your scenario as described would be an accurate assessment of what I perceived to be happening. As in, a hired firm that could legally review records as medical professionals and then make that type of call. I'm a well-educated health consumer so I knew the product I was being requested to use was actually more risky long-term to my personal health, which I thoroughly explained at probably too loud a volume to be considered polite during the course of the call.
If you have a smartphone and think you have any sort of privacy, you're delusional
There is "wrong person for you" and "wrong person for anyone". The latter, you must avoid at all costs.
It's not exactly like Dropbox though, you still have to commit (with a message) similar to how editing a file works.
Or indeed PC-BSD. (-:

PC-BSD's installer understands ZFS. It creates an all-ZFS system, including the root volume. The boot manager uses ZFS for "boot environments".

His setup is vulnerable to hash length extension attacks:

secure_link_md5 "my awesome secret $uri";

This means anyone can extend the URI (eg. adding "/../../../some/other/file" at the end of the filename) and compute a valid key, and force the server to access an arbitrary image file on the backend. If the backend is a private server not publicly accessible, then this may be a security issue.

This is why in the ngx_http_secure_link_module's documentation the secret is appended (instead of prepended), see http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_secure_link_module.ht...:

secure_link_md5 "$secure_link_expires$uri$remote_addr secret";

The Nginx doc is also at fault because it fails to explain why it is important to append the secret and not prepend it. I just emailed security-alert@nginx.org to let them know.
Neither party you mention is a monolith. Don't consider China's interest or USA's interest. Rather, think of the interests of decision-makers and of those who can influence them (including those who can do so indirectly through a gullible public).
The clinical trial recruitment is actually the business model behind this. We're using this as a way to attract patients to our brand.
I suspect a 'better' way of handling the landlord issue is for the government to be the 'landlord of last resort' but I'm pretty sure that would be a hard sell. Still, it would remove the profit motive.

As to the functionally or willfully blind, I wonder if the HF campaigns start their publicity too late. Perhaps if there were more pictures of tent cities and shelters people would realize there is a local problem?

I know up in Anchorage, AK housing first started gaining momentum after quite a number of extremely visible tent camps and homeless folks getting frozen to the sidewalk.
I really think your on to something here. People must be advocates for themselves and keep up to date in the areas of research where their medical problems exist if they want be sure they are getting the best care and treatments.
Sorry, I meant for the pre-compiled versions on Google Play and the App Store. The vast, vast majority of Whatsapp users aren't going to want to or don't know how to compile the app for their phone.
Agree on the knee jerk reaction to be very cynical towards everything google does, I'm sure in doing this we miss things that were relatively altruistic (assuming they do those things).

However, leveraging education accounts to get other 'paid' contracts, and exposing their technology, values, and brand to students at an early age is actually has quite a bit of value. It is a profitable long term move, that can have a very big payoff, if they can get people into the walled garden that is google services as early as possible.

The same value that's currently going to google doesn't necessarily get instantly more palatable in Canonical's hands, but if I were to give a student something to learn on (on which they could quite possibly discovery programming, or systems administration), I'd give them the less-locked-down Ubuntu.

This strategy seems like it leaves less of an avenue to create software, than just consume it (from the web).
Fewer moving parts is generally preferable, unless you can demonstrate a significant advantage in adding it.
Dinosaurs.
Well, the reason I said that is that a year or so ago I set up a gh-pages website for a person who I doubt could tell you what any of those things are. She's done fine so far, except that any time an image needs uploading I have to do it on the command line.

NginX has come a long way and so has the documentation: http://nginx.org/en/docs/

I highly recommend this document to start, which describes how NginX processes a request: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/request_processing.html

For getting the mental model right, you have to understand that NginX configuration is declarative, like SQL or PROLOG. That means as opposed to an imperative or procedural language you might be more familiar with, in NginX you describe "what" you want to have handled, not "how" and NginX worries about the "how" under the hood, for the most part.

Of course like any abstraction it sometimes breaks and leaks, but this is practical software we're talking about. One specific big headache for people is when using "if" in NginX, which is a decidedly imperative construct! As such you do have to tread lightly with it; observe If Is Evil: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/depth/ifis...

Well, Alphabet doesn't have that motto, perhaps is what you read.
Sometimes a company takes actions I consider to be pretty terrible (e.g. Apple Maps, Sony removing functionality from the ps4). At that point I feel justified in becoming a "hater" of that company. Going forward I lean towards skepticism of the company and put the onus on them to win me back. Maybe I'm crazy but this feels perfectly reasonable.

I wish I could remember where I first came across it. I had just read Lee Cockerell's "Creating Magic", and I went into a sort of deep dive for leadership lessons from Disney. This coincided with a fit of nostalgia for 1980's EPCOT, which drove my wife a bit crazy. You can blame the Horizons Resurrected project for that. It was Disney practically 24/7 for a couple months there.

I don't know if the Yesterland blog post is the one you came across, but they do a good job cataloging the different retellings of the story and even include some of the artwork Herb put together that weekend. Definitely worth a read.
