People will always be sour and accuse you of things.

But actually I don't see how this makes them biased in any way. All drives essentially sell for the same amount (and Amazon pays a percentage of that) so if you trust the info as being accurate (and why wouldn't it be?) then how could it biased then given there is such little lattitude in pricing?

And who is going to accuse them anyway? People who read HN? If so, so what?

The data presented is a nice shortcut answering the question of "which drive should I buy" without having to read all of the charts and most importantly think.

Lastly, you don't have to buy from amazon just because they give you a link but it does make it easier to see a price and compare to whatever vendor you might typically use (or provide several links to different vendors).
I was thinking about this on a motorcycle trip to Alaska. For $250 one can buy a consumer device that updates my location via satellite every few minutes to display on a web page. $35/month, and they have cheaper plans. Were I to have been eaten by a bear, or splattered by a semi on the Dalton Highway, my wife would have at least known where to recover the body.

Any yahoo with $250 and a shipping address can have one of these, yet two years later we still don't know where this Malaysian flight went to?

>What you refer to as cliques - are actually friendships. Friendships and socializing, are hugely important.

While I don't disagree, the effect is the same from the school's perspective:

1. they are hostile to group outsiders
2. punishing any member makes the whole group hostile to the teacher
3. they're a basis to spread peer pressure
4. they can form rivalries with other cliques

What I'm saying is, the positive effects do not benefit the school directly, while the negative effects do, and are difficult to deal with.

>As for rivalries and cycles of revenge - can you give an example of what that'd look like? I personally haven't experienced either.

Neither have I - possibly because of the mash up system - but I can see a failure mode like this:

student X quarrels with student Y;
Student Y gets his friends together and beats up student X;
student X gets his friends together and beats up a friend of student Y; etc.
Now you have the start of a gang problem.
I'll add that sometimes being right doesn't matter.
Our analysis of code is algorithmically (hence we created go-git, to analyse every git repository on the web). We're doing some cool things here, everything from feature engineered models based on extracting attributes from code to turning code into vectors using deep learning.

However, when we have a conversation, it is never a bot speaking, always a real developer. This actually helps train our system (we are humble about being wrong) and makes sure that every developer has a good experience working with us.

FWIW, I looked at the (current) title, read the page, and thought "Oh, right, this is the OpenGL successor, finally released. Why is that not in the title? It's important context for other readers."

The Wikipedia article on OpenGL lists Vulkan as the successor, and the former name for the Vulkan project was "Next Generation OpenGL Initiative" (glNext).

Stuxnet was such an amazing event. The speculation at first, the quasi confirmation a little later based on certain items in the code. The dissection of it and the tech talks by Microsoft and others on its design and build... And then that it had a successor - and now it comes out that Israel and US squabbling over what team did what which allowed it to be exposed.

It is such an amazing cornerstone in the cyberpunk reality of where the world is heading.

HGST, formerly Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, part of WD as of 2012. The cool thing about them was that their consumer Deskstars were at least as reliable as enterprise disks by other manufacturers. I still have 12-year-old PCs here with HGST 80 and 160 GB drives that were subject to daily use and a lot of inappropriate handling. The Deskstars don't mind.

Very unfortunately, HGST has apparently scaled back Deskstar sales and development significantly since the acquisition. I guess it has to do with WD selling off some of HGST's 3.5" assets to Toshiba in order to appease competition authorities. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10057519

The parent actually said "Rust or pretty much anything else", which means any memory safe language.
It just happens that Rust came to his/her mind as the first choice probably because it's been talked a lot about lately on HN and memory safety is its explicit focus.

I see no "programming languages a religion zealotry" in parents post, but I see a lot of bitterness in yours. Perhaps it's time to reflect.

That Ruby bug is a bug in the C implementation of the language. Surely this bug supports the point that modern languages don't have these problems, since you have to look at the bits written in C to find them.

As for "embarrassingly basic," it takes years or decades to find these bugs because we're using tools that hide them. Basic runtime bounds checking would have turned up this bug pretty much immediately. If you use a language where a buffer overflow often causes no runtime error, then of course it's going to be hard to notice when you've made one.

I doubt that this alone was all they needed. Probably once they had identified the vendors of the equipment, they retrieved the purchase orders from those vendors, either with or without the knowledge of said vendors.
There are a handful of databases that implement map-reduce one way or another - CouchDB, Couchbase, and MongoDB off the top of my head. Views might be a CouchDB/Couchbase concept, but not incremental map-reduce.

In what way is JSON inefficient? Are we talking about size?

GSI indexes may or may not be partitioned. With GSI, depending on the index size and resources available, you would most likely NOT partition the index - that's the recommendation. You can create an index on user_id and column_b, place it on a specific node, and you'd only be hitting that node for a query. Especially if it's a covering index. Again, databases without GSI indexes have an index partition on every single node - that means hitting every single one for every single query. I'm still not sure what you're trying to get at.

I'm guessing you are referring to MongoDB shards and routers. However, that example doesn't make sense. If user_id is the shard key, then yes, the router sends the query to the right node. The same thing happens with Couchbase. Given the key, you get the document straight from the node that has it. However, if you have user_id, why are you querying on column_b too? Now, if user_id is not the shard key, then no, the router does not send the query to the right node, its sends the query to every single node.

I'm generalizing, but key-value databases are best for key-value operations on arbitrary data. Document databases understand JSON and, as such, can provide access via queries. With Couchbase, you can choose from views, N1QL (SQL), geospatial (built on views), or full-text search (preview). Pretty far off from a key-value store.

That, and it already has support for partial updates via N1QL. However, my assumption was that you were talking about partial updates via key-value operations.

The problem faced by the UK, and many other countries, is not that people are renters, it's that they have diminishing financial security. Swiss people rent more than any other people in Europe (only 35% homeownership rate) but they are relatively more affluent and being a renter does not impair their ability to save and accumulate assets. Spanish people own their home in a large proportion and I'm sure Swiss people wouldn't trade with them.

Let's not conflate the means with the end. The goal is to make people financially secure, homeownership can be a mean to that but it's far from automatic. In fact homeownership can be a consequence of financial security.

Your home is an incredibly illiquid asset, and you are likely to need to liquidate it at the worst time.

"A relevant observation from our Operations team on the Seagate drives is that they generally signal their impending failure via their SMART stats. Since we monitor several SMART stats, we are often warned of trouble before a pending failure and can take appropriate action. Drive failures from the other manufacturers appear to be less predictable via SMART stats."

~10 years ago, I remember google research put out a highly cited paper wherein they found that SMART stats were not a particularly strong indicator of impending drive failure (50% of drives had no SMART indications of problem before failure). http://research.google.com/pubs/pub32774.html

Has this now changed (at least for Seagate)?

Reliability/longevity is nice but a signal of impending failure is far more valuable from an operations point of view.

Ah, memories. In 1999 I was working for a soon to be doomed music startup, and recall being at a lunch with the founder, who was even younger than me in my early 20's glory. He was quite impressed with himself having raised $1MM and hired a team of 20-30 or so of us.

Me: [Suggesting we should consider a couple things that would give us some revenue, and be mindful of spending]

Him: Listen, you're pushing it here. No offense to your economics degree but it's not like you've founded a business that's made more money than I have.

Me: Of course I have.

Him: When exactly did that happen?

Me: I ran a profitable lawn service business. I don't know the exact figure but we netted thousands of dollars over the lifetime of the business, which is about half a million dollars more than this business, as far as I can tell.

Him: [Grrk, change the subject...]

What? One of the advice is to get cash flow positive with the money you already have. Isn't that basic knowledge? You can't spend more than you have and you only ask for other people's money when you don't need it. Idk, maybe this is an american thing, with all the capital you have but here (Portugal) you can't get series A funding without being at least cash flow positive, no way.
I was diagnosed with a serious mental illness 6 years ago, but I have no problem finding jobs. I just never tell anyone that I have it. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1, was in a psychiatric hospital for 2 weeks, and on short term disability for about 2 months.

It's possible it was a misdiagnosis though. I think a lot of it was from anxiety and stress. I stopped taking medication in 2011 (against the advice of my doctor).

Technically, that's a iterator invalidation and those are indeed hard to keep track of. There are runtime libraries that keep track of pointer-invalidation for you however.

In any case, a std::vector<shared_ptr<std::string> > would actually avoid the issue in this particular case.

Use after free... is more about use of raw pointers IMO. I wouldn't describe that code to be a "use after free" at all. In most languages, you are simply not allowed to change the container at all. Iterator invalidation is a hard issue in any language.

> to try to corner a market

The author's point seems to be - don't try to corner the market, the days of us investing in 5% success rate "moonshots" that do corner the market is over because that 5% is now down to 0.5%, and easy liquidity events such as IPOs and acquisitions are getting harder to come by. Just make a decent product and swim along with all the other little fishes because we don't want any risky market-cornering equity on our balance sheet given the current exit environment.
#1 would be huge for me. I'm vegetarian, and hate green peppers, which means some 80% (made up stat) of all vegetarian recipes are no go for me.

My wife, in turn, is vegetarian and a very picky eater (she has "texture" issues with food). These sorts of features would be very useful for me to cook for her.

General appeal to the universe: If feeding a group, particularly vegetarians, DON'T go for a "use everything" strategy. That's like ordering Supreme pizzas for a group - if everyone dislikes one ingredient (but different for each), all you've done is made everyone unhappy.

Here's a BBC Radio Four programme that talks about the small towns in Missouri and their excessive use of traffic violations as a revenue generating scheme.

It's a good programme, and worth a lsiten. (As are others in the series!)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05pqskm

> Are excessive traffic fines and debtors' jails fuelling community tensions in suburban Missouri? Claire Bolderson reports on a network of ninety separate cities in St Louis County, most of which have their own courts and police forces. Critics say that their size makes them financially unviable and allege that some of them boost their incomes by fining their own citizens and locking them up when they can't pay.

> This edition of Crossing Continents goes out and about in St Louis County to meet the people who say they are victims of a system which sees arrest warrants issued for relatively minor misdemeanours. Many of the victims are poor and black. The programme also takes us into the courts, and out onto the freeways with some of the County's police, who say they are upholding the law and promoting road safety.

> The US government is not so sure. One of the towns in question is Ferguson where riots erupted after a white police officer shot a young black man dead last summer. In a recent report on the riots, the Department of Justice concluded that the Ferguson police had been stopping people for no good reason. It said they were putting revenue before public safety.

> Claire Bolderson investigates how widespread the practice is and considers the impact on relations between citizens and the authorities that govern them.
what confuses me about the US-Israeli relationship is that the most of the times they work well but at times one is always sabatoging each other in a manner that makes you reconsider, is Israel and enemy or a friend to the United States? I don't think Japan would pull off shit like this.

It's like there's a four tier system to what defines a US Ally.

Platinum - Gets you exclusive access to black funds & latest weapons no other allies are getting. Discounted oil from Saudi too.

Gold - Gets you access to aids and credit line with the IMF. You get the top grade weapons that other allies wish they were getting haha.

Silver - Gets you access to some aids and political credit for your election periods in your country. Free defense of your country, we'll even pay half the cost of our stay.

Bronze - Gets honorable mention in speeches and aids but don't count on our diplomatic support. You are largely left on your own to defend your country. We'll sell you some of our refurbished weapons and overstocked weaponry at a discount or if you buy our bonds.

edit: why the downvotes? seems like any comment that seems to critcize US-Israel relationship on here are automatically downvoted to oblivion. As a Canadian, all of this is very confusing. A) Why in the fuck would the most powerful country succumb to a particular smaller country but nobody else B) Why in the fuck nobody is allowed to question the arrangement? C) Why are people who think Jesus will return in Israel (mental illness?) are allowed to make decisions on behalf of people who don't agree with it?

And to people who say both countries are acting in a way that maximizes their national interests, yet certain actions by certain country are seemingly kosher (no pun intended) while if another country in the similar position did the same actions, there would be severe punitive and a concerted diplomatic backlash and media smearing. All but one particular country seems to get a free golden pass on literally all aspects that influence United State's national interests.

The US gets less than what Israel gets out of the relationship. What was US's big reward for helping Israel? It incited attack from other anti-Israeli terrorists and continue to place the national security at risk just to further some geopolitical goals in some remote place that has nothing to do with the average American.

The emperor wears no clothes, and as a Canadian I just pointed out what I'm seeing. I have no stake in this argument or have mistrust or hatred for Israeli people and American peoples, but it's not hard to see the level of mistrust each countries populace has towards their own government's policy.
I would think at least #2 would be exactly the type of target this second home tax is aimed at. And those that fall under #1 should probably not move prior to selling the first home.
