Great post!

The results of these benchmarks do not surprise me at all. To me, they all fall in to the category of 'less (overhead) is more (performance)'. With VXLAN encap being the obvious example of greatest overhead.

I think its also worth mentioning that k8s networking is being enhanced in v1.2 to support isolation and multi-tenancy through ThirdParty resources (back end network solutions). The alternatives included in the benchmarks aren't going to be able to support these kinds of network policy as is.

And, unfortunately, things get a more complicated when you want to provide more than simple reachability (which is all that k8s asks for today). The tradeoff is to be able to control the packets with the lowest overhead possible. VXLANs will give you isolation, but at the cost of encapsulation. Stacking bridges and tunnels and distributing VNIDs/routes not only introduces more latency, but becomes another multi-host coordination problem (matching tunnel IDs, etc).

We're working on a new way to build cloud native networks that avoids the encap, but still lets you control all the packets.

Apple is looking to China for further sales growth. Fewer Chinese buying iPhones is probably a bigger problem for them than higher manufacturing costs.

Tim Cook has already made a big deal about "currency headwinds" to explain Apple's slowing revenue growth.
Agreed, this is the reason I don't really trust the claims here.

It's actually much worse if you are using a mobile phone, since the GSM codec will add even more artefacts before being passed via PSTN to them.

Add that to serious background noise and you are giving people to fake way more room than a crystal clear PCM WAV.
A) Opt out of "overage fees and bounced-check insurance" which would be the problem here, not debit cards. Keep track of your own finances.

B) Don't live check to check. Keep track of your own finances.

C) And if you fail to do that once (because you're probably living check to check), you've nullified any free benefit you ever received.

D) Horseshit. I had my card stolen by the Target breach, there were charges on it all over Europe, and within a week I had every penny back.

I imagine the wait was mostly that it wasn't deemed necessary to have ZFS on Ubuntu until now.

Containerisation has drastically increased interest in CoW filesystems. Traditionally their only use-case has been for implementing livecds and similar ro + rw layer environments.

For this AUFS has been the gold standard since basically forever. However AUFS has some flaws and lack of features that make it undesirable to use in production container workloads, hence looking to ZFS to fill this gap.

>Submitters without any network at all are screwed.

If success in becoming featured on Product Hunt is contingent on the submitter's network, then the submitter's product is probably of such quality that they're screwed anyways.

That, or their product is solid but it simply isn't appealing to the PH crowd. You see cool stuff every day that fits that description, usually accumulating a mere handful of votes. Generally speaking, the more niche the product is, the more likely it is to end up in that category.

Product Hunt is ruthless curation. It isn't designed to be fair. Suffice it to say, exceptional products—or products that make waves elsewhere—are almost assuredly bound to do well on Product Hunt, regardless if the author even has an account there, let alone a network.

To be clear, I'm not defending insider voting rings, I'm just saying the best strategy is to trancend them entirely.

> Is something like this enforceable?

No, it's not, because 1) the user never agreed to the license, 2) a license by definition cannot cover unlicensed uses. Unlicensed uses are dealt with by statute, not by a licence agreement, so it would be up to a court to decide how much to reward you.

Note that for 1) without a written agreement you can't specify additional license terms beyond the usual statutory rights. Licenses and contracts have very different requirements for what makes them valid, the bar is set much higher for licenses.
To Kill A Mockingbird is still one of my all time favorite books and movies. Sad news.

Has anyone read the newly released book? Thoughts?
I loved "To Kill a Mockingbird" so much when I read it as a kid. The moral of the story seemed really obvious. In the last few years I came across this article which blew my mind and changed my perspective about the book's meaning a lot:

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/08/10/the-courthouse-...
If that's the case, then using a style that is completely counter to the mainstream usage of said language will probably make them even more unhappy than challenging their language choice.

Code review is real, and when you leave and they hire a new developer, they will be even more upset when the new dev can't understand your code because it's bending the language in ways it wasn't meant for.

I heavily advise against trying to fight your battle here, it's only going to cause more friction later.

Because, at least in the US, bankruptcy laws have changed such that it is difficult or impossible to get a "clean slate" debt wipe. If the courts think you can afford to pay your debts (you had enough money to buy a house and a car outright in your scenario), they may restructure your debts to make payments more manageable, but not eliminate them.

Also as mentioned below, it ruins your credit and might be construed as fraud.
There's a lot of truth to that (cash paying customers pay the same, even though the cost to serve them is less).

But unrewarded cards aren't really any different. Most merchants still have to pay the same high fee for them. Since the bank/processor is going to take the maximum amount of money they can regardless, and most merchants will have to pay that full fee regardless, you might as well use a rewards card over an unrewarded one.
That's a bit vague, but some of the more substantial differences are:

1. Duplicity works with a "full plus increments" model, whereas Tarsnap's archives are deduplicated snapshots. If you've been doing daily backups for a year, getting your data back using Duplicity means downloading a full backup followed by 365 increments; to get your data back using Tarsnap you directly download whichever archive you want.

2. Related to the above, Tarsnap's snapshot model allows you to delete archives independently; with Duplicity, you can't delete an archive if you want to keep increments which depend on it.

3. Tarsnap has built-in support for restricted keys; this allows you to set up a server which can create new archives but can't read or delete them. (With a bit of effort you can create "user" keys in AWS which can do S3 PUTs but not GETs or DELETEs; but if your server is compromised that wouldn't stop someone from overwriting your backups.)

4. Duplicity uses librsync, which is considerably more memory-hungry. It's possible that they worked around this by limiting its matching-block search to individual files -- I haven't looked at their code -- but that would result in it failing to recognize moved or copied files.

5. I haven't run benchmarks, but algorithmically speaking Tarsnap should be significantly faster at creating archives.
If you truly believe that, I think perhaps you place too much trust in the wrong sort of people.

The reason why I consider the hypothesis unlikely is not because those involved are unwilling to deceive, but because they are unlikely to have sufficient skill to make the attempt and avoid detection. I believe that, considering the number of people that would be necessary, at least one Apple insider with ethical concerns would leak evidence that would expose the true story.

b. more people are browsing through mobile devices that are dumped in a few years and replaced with a new one, new browser, empty cache, etc.

I didn't say we should adopt India's economic system. I said that we have a labor scarcity, not a surplus, as demonstrated by all the work people would like to have done - and which other parts of the world demonstrate can be done - but which isn't being done (by humans or robots). Therefore a solution designed for a surplus is counterproductive.

If indeed we have a shortage rather than scarcity (note the terms are not synonymous - a shortage is a quantity supplied below market clearing rates), then we should focus on the root causes of that shortage rather than simply ignoring the problem. Minimum wage might be one such cause, though I rather doubt it (market wages tend to be way above min wage). I suspect that if we have an actual shortage it's regulatory constraints [1] and work disincentives [2] that are the real problem.

In the latest Ctrl-Walt-Delete, Nilay (an ex-lawyer) makes a great, and chilling point, that it's entirely possible that the FBI can easily get into the phone with the help of the NSA, but that they're choosing to make a public request in this case to set precedent since so many facts are on their side. Terrorism, simple request, giving Apple full control, etc.
This is a confusing point. At the moment, there is no software or tooling to do what the FBI wants so the subpoena asks them to "develop new capabilities" in order to meet it. However, once they have done that for this one phone, they will no longer be able to say truthfully "We can't do that." and any time a phone needs to be unlocked the FBI will get a judge to issue a subpoena and if Apple doesn't comply, with the proof out there they could comply, then they are in contempt.

It is that follow on that is the back door. So now Apple is in the position where they have to unlock phones on demand, and not doing so will subject them to fines and imprisonment (you cannot easily appeal an order to do something in a case which it is clear you have the capability to do).

What is worse, if they are forced to comply and develop this capability, and then design the next generation of phone so that they once again don't have a capability to break into it, that case then is even harder. The FBI can sue Apple for intentionally obstructing justice.

Don't be fooled, this isn't a case about one phone and one set of people who have shot a bunch innocent people. This is very much a calculated strategy on the Justice Department's behalf to get back doors into phones and create legal precedents for which they can compel those back doors.

That will force the group that doesn't want back doors to get Congress to create a law that specfically forbids them. And the Justice Dept knows that would be very hard for folks to achieve.

The problem I see is a lack of strategy games, especiall real time strategy games that are not trying to clone Star Craft 2 (like 10 SciFi clones, boring!). And the casualization and streamlining of gameplay makes it pointless for real core PC game players. PC games of the 1990s and 2000s had a great PC UI, I don't want dumbed down UIs and gameplay of bad console ports. I want micro management and real time gameplay like in the games mentioned in my previous comment. (The same goes for console players who don't want to do micro management of single small units with a controller, that's why console strategy games aren't very popular and have different gameplay.)

In addition to the other fine replies, let me point out that "humans are irrational" is the negation of a very small point. It allows us to think we know something, when in fact what that statement tells us is only that we don't know something about human behavior. It is logically much like saying "Humans are not 7-year-old bulldogs named Fido living in New Jersey on the second floor of a shared house." It's a true statement, but carries virtually no information because it only identifies an incredible small, precise part of the possibility space and negates it; it does not, on it's own, tell you much about what humans are.

Humans are not merely "irrational", they positively behave and think in very specific ways. No human is immune to this. It is, therefore, perfectly rational to discuss rational ways of managing the specific human behaviors that lead to irrational behaviors.

This is also while ritual denunciations of "homo economicus" are really quite sophomoric... the nonexistence of rational economic actors does not mean that you can simply model humans in whatever way you please to make your preconceived notions work. It means that you've got to go learn what humans actually do, which is going to be very challenging, and take that into account, which is almost certainly going to shock anyone who tries it. It means the problem is suddenly immensely harder, not easier.

Define "secure". In too many cases it is a marketing buzzword. At some point those of us who are security professionals really need to get serious about pushing for some standard language and certification in this space. I'd love to see a rating system which makes it clear which attacks this platform can defend agains. As an example, is it only secure if locked in a secure facility, protected from physical access or can it exist in a physically hostile environment? How much of it can be exposed to an attack surface before it's not secure? At this moment I'm aware of several physical layer attacks that this would absolutely fail to protect against so I question why exactly this gets me anything more than any other hardware platform.

> It seems as though all the debates and analysis on this topic have already occurred.

I don't know if I buy that framing of it. We've already had this debate: hundreds of years ago. We decided that the government can't search your stuff at random, but if it gets a warrant, it can, and is entitled to reasonable cooperation in doing so (breaking locks, drilling into safes, breaking open safe deposit boxes, etc).

I think you can just as easily say that privacy advocates are the ones trying to reignite a settled debate. They want phones treated differently than how other property is treated. This is privacy advocates trying to shift the Overton window: where a search pursuant to a valid court order somehow becomes a privacy violation.
> Run the math again at 18% APR ($133 in interest over the 14-month payoff period) or even 24% ($185 in interest over the 14-month payoff period), and you quickly see just how much premium it costs to get that TV a year earlier.

I feel like the issue isn't just the TV. It's that it's the TV, plus the next thing, plus the next thing. Or in other words, tiers of debt usage from best to worse: (1) completely avoid paying interest charges, (2) pay interest charges on large purchases with full knowledge and planning and in a responsible manner, (3) pay interest charges without knowledge of what you're paying or what to do about it.

Personally, I think it's a failure of financial literacy of the US educational system on one of the most important aspects of kid's lives. I have met incredibly educated people that are still ignorant about how credit cards/interest charges work and only internalized "Never use credit cards!" advice. I've also met less educated people who never think past "This is what it says the minimum payment is, so I pay that."

Neither position is good. And they. aren't. that. complicated.

The disclosure sheet gives you annual fee (if any), APR when interest is charged, and any penalties that may result in an APR adjustment. After that it's simply "If you have a >$0 statement balance from the previous month after your due date and payment, then you begin accruing interest on the daily total of your balance." Not rocket science.
