Same here. I have couple of old Opteron based servers which I start only for massive parallel ImageMagick/netpbm/tesseract computations. I think this has the best price per CPU ratio.
Interesting. I am not really into PWGorilla, but some friends are. They are constantly recommending it to me, although we are kind-of forced from the company to use a closed source pw manager (1pass).

Is there anything particularly security related that is concerning you regarding pw-gorilla vulnerabilities?

So far I can recommend 1pass, though its not for free. If you have any particular concerns with 1pass security wise I would be interested too (except its closed source).

Thx.
Not something new. US backed Iraq in past, supplied emos, later fought against it.

US aided Mujahideen of Afghanistan in past later become Talibans. US aided Pakistan Army and Afghan government to fight against them.

Since it's Hackernews, the best analogy would be funding by VCs to different startups to compete with each other. Here CIA and Pentagon are VCs providing Emos to "Startups" to test their weapons for other wars.

Ask HN: How many startups fail because their MVP is too minimal?
In my own product development I get so caught up in figuring out the least amount of stuff to build to test my value proposition that I often forget, building an MVP is just one strategy. Does anyone know how common it is to fail because of building too little? Any examples?
If you're still open for suggestions/alternatives, have a look at Phabricator. August-December of 2014 I looked at several different solutions for my company (though primarily my focus was on code review features - today we also use it in some areas for task management and documentation/wiki). I nearly moved forward with GitLab before (re)discovering Phabricator. I like to keep up to date with new features in the alternatives (GitLab, GitBucket, Gogs, Reviewboard, etc.) but at this point I can't imagine wanting to move off Phab.

Thanks for the article. But I don't see where it says that Bitcoin can't scale 20x without decentralization problems.

I see that "the block size should not exceed 4MB for X=90%; and 38MB for X=50%", but I don't think that 50% reduction of number of nodes would be a serious decentralization problem (we've seen a similar reduction already due to the implementation of SPV clients).

Mining centralization could be a bigger problem, but with headers-first mining the block size wouldn't contribute to it.

Also the authors of the article assume the use of Bitcoin’s current peer-to-peer overlay network, that can be drastically optimized.

I've chosen 20x because Gavin had conducted 20Mb tests more than a year ago, before many optimizations took place.

There is nothing bad in the low fees. Low fees is the marketing strategy to boost the usage of Bitcoin and create the large enough ecosystem. Miners are being subsidised by bitcoin holders for a reason.

Larger the blocks while preserving a reasonable degree of decentralization -> lower the fees per transaction -> more people use Bitcoin -> more valuable the bitcoin ecosystem is -> higher the price of bitcoin -> mining is more profitable -> stable and secure infrastructure for the new global economy.
> And that's assuming you maintain Canadian residency - if not then you're only on the hook for federal income tax

I realize that this is a hypothetical, but FYI the CRA has rules that kick in when you're paying taxes and not a resident (e.g. you're a "deemed resident", "factual resident", etc.). Generally you will still be taxed in the province where you have significant ties or last resided.
Maybe you are right. Maybe not. Stating something as "truth" will not make it so in my mind. Show me the sources, show me the arguments. Show everybody that you know why you state it as truth.

Only because Chomsky says so is like saying: Jesus said so.

I'd like to follow the logical arguments myself.

btw.: I do think, that the western interventions, the capitalistic land-grabbing, the weapons trade, the support for partisan groups, because of mutual political enemies and so on are (at least) some of the reasons this powder keg keeps exploding.

Non the less are the underlying ethnicities, animosities that go back generations and different believe systems (like sunnites and shiites) at least as much to blame.

Only doing finger pointing in the direction of the big bad wolf called US of A is too easy, too simplistic (imho) and will not lead to a better understanding.

I do not believe in such a simplistic logic when it comes to world politics. Most of the time there is a multitude of influencing factors at play. These have o be understood like in a multiple regression analysis (just a metaphor).

I think your point is quite interesting to think about, but I do not think that is a good way to think about history. What would happen if the US didn't invade Iraq is impossible to know. Your comment seems to suppose that there were two possibilities: what we have now, or status quo of 2002. In actuality, there are infinitely many possibilities. If one of the dictators died, their sons could become the new dictators. The Arab Spring may not have happened, or could have happened and led to a stable Syria/Iraq/etc. It is impossible to list the possibilities; almost certainly something different that I cannot imagine would have happened.

However, by invading Iraq, we introduced a new humongous source of chaos to an already chaotic situation. Chaos and destruction cause historical events to become even less predictable than they usually are and impossible to control. What is predictable is that they tend to support the worst in people and suppress the best. I think it's quite safe to say that the cure was worse than the disease (Saddam, at least), and we are responsible for that. History tells us that this usually happens when people try to solve problems by invading countries.

In other words, I think we shouldn't pretend we can predict outcomes of chaotic situation. One thing we can be guided by is that the things we feel are bad (war, oppression, genocide, etc.) cause more chaos and create far more misery than the politicians and the public doing the bad thing imagine when they convince themselves it's necessary/worthwhile/inevitable. Also, no situation is so very bad that you cannot make it worse (as apparently astronauts like to say).

"the west didn't create this ethnic hatred"

Look at the border between France and Spain, there are big mountains there. Now look at the border between Egypt and Libya, a straight line in the middle of nowhere. How is that possible?

"if a finger had to be pointed at anyone it should rather be Saudi Arabia,"

Who is the best ally and supported of the Saudi royalty? One of the more backwards regimes in the world.

What about Iraq?

What about Iran?
from wikipedia:
"In 1951, Mohammad Mosaddegh was elected as the prime minister. He became enormously popular in Iran, after he nationalized Iran's petroleum industry and oil reserves. He was deposed in the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, an Anglo-American covert operation that marked the first time the US had overthrown a foreign government during the Cold War"

Not accepting how the west have messed in the area has become a kind of a reflex.
You're either trolling, or just didn't / couldn't get that the post was for fun and learning, exploring new/alternative ways of doing things.

For that matter, doing:

cmp X Y

is even simpler since it doesn't create as much output as diff when the files are different. And hey, we saved one letter over diff. /s

According to your logic, no one should have done an alternative version of a program after the first one for that need was created. The world would be a much poorer place. Only one language, assembly or FORTRAN /COBOL, only one OS, one DB, etc.

How about killing Australian native people like kangaroo? Do know history? When they arrived to the land which we call today Australia they killed native people like kangaroo.

It is a little bit disgusting, the same people who created this fuckig mess, the same people who supported brutal dictators, the same people who created Mujahedeen at first place , now came and claims ,

"Oops , we didn't mean to create this mess.maybe some thing wrong in your people's gene?"

No people are people.They do bad thing when there is no education , when there is no economy.when there is no future. When you humilate their existence.

Do you wanna see bad thing? Take trip, and go to one of trumps rally , when they literally yell at black people: " go to your fucking continent, what the fuck are you doing in my country? "
CDs: I haven't logged into my Japanese iTunes account in a few years, but at the time there wasn't much to choose from. I assume some draconian local licensing deals keeping most stuff out, but I don't know for sure.

Newspapers: You very rarely see anyone reading them on the trains any more, but I do see a lot of people pawing over news apps on smart phones, with some byzantine looking controls to zoom in/out of the information dense kanji layouts.

Faxes: They are slowly dying in business, but it's hard to boot them out of the homes of the older generations. It's hard to argue when you can order a taxi / takeway sushi / groceries with one. Add on the generally pathetic UI on Japanese websites and it's going to be a tough sell.

DVDs: yes, Tsutaya is the giant green monster in the room. This probably goes for CDs as well, as music rental is still huge. We recently got Netflix though, which has a decent selection of American stuff, and actually makes some effort to cater for gajins.

Flip Phones. It's true, but the only people I see on the train still using them are sad looking salarymen in cheap suits.

It's happened to both me and my girlfriend. It's not very common but seems to happen sometimes when software is updating when it has a good signal/wifi and you move into an area of no signal. Having been caught out a couple of times being unable to access important apps because of it (one time being in an unfamiliar area with a half downloaded Google Maps and insufficient signal to download the app again), I just don't risk it any more... Which is a shame as otherwise it makes sense to stay up to date obviously.

Like Asimov, Clarke was one of the giants of science fiction. I'm surprised there isn't more discussion of his contributions to the evolution and perception of modern technology.

From communications satellites (the geosynchronous 'Clarke orbit' is named after him) to encrypted smartphones (described vividly in Imperial Earth), to space elevators (The Fountains of Paradise) - he introduced so many ideas that are now regarded as unremarkable. (I remember being attacked and ridiculed in high school when I brought up the preposterous subject of space elevators...)

His writing was more stylistic than Asimov's, and while not as prolific, his novels and scientific writing were equally inspiring. Clarke had a poetic, fantastical side, revealed in stories like 'The Lion of Comarre' and 'Against the Fall of Night'; relating visions of vast vistas of space and time (reminiscent of Olaf Stapledon), but also with a subtle discontent and yearning in the protagonists. I fear much of this subtlety is lost among modern readers, but it shouldn't be - so many of us suffer from that same malady!

Clarke and Asimov were great frenemies, and their exchanges were hilarious. They both had gigantic egos! And I just now realized a way to characterize their literary personalities: Asimov resided in temperate New York City, while Clarke had his home in tropical Sri Lanka. But the historic names of that place - Ceylon, Serendip and Taprobane - were even more exotic and evocative, just like the best of Clarke.

Agreed that in general it's an eerie thing. There are some interesting similarities, especially with the First Crusade and ISIS.

There are also some striking differences. Aside from the Byzantine, Christianity was mostly monolithic, with secular rulers jockeying for power inside of one Pope. On the other side, the religious and secular authority were both the same person.

This led, over time, to the crusades being a way of wielding internal control over Christiandom, because one guy (the Pope) could preach a crusade against any local, domestic opponents and get some kind of traction out of it. Islam has no centralized authority. (Lots of other differences also)
This is an awesome vision. Perhaps you're right about university campuses. But in addition to golf courses and retirement communities: business campuses, airports, amusement parks, the list goes on.

That's an interesting point. Yes, approval voting, like all other voting systems, requires voters to not only know their preferences, but also to play a little `game' (in the game theory sense of the word).

The optimal strategy on who to vote for depends not only on preferences, but also on what you know about the other voters. Polls help here.

The nice thing about approval voting is that, even though their might not be one single, clear and obvious way to translate your preference into your vote; but there is a clear and obvious family of ways to do so. And they have nice properties.

In-first-past-the-post, people often elect to give their vote to the lesser evil, instead of their preferred (third-party) candidate.

In approval voting, you will never have to give a compromise candidate more `vote' than any other candidate you prefer.

Ie all families of sensible voting strategies for approval voting look like this:

- sort candidates in order of preference
- figure out a cutoff
- approve anyone above the cutoff

The optimal cutoff depends on the peculiarities of the election (polls etc).

In practice, people manage this quite well intuitively. (I have run approval votings for small things, like which restaurant to take the team to.)

> It would not, the US has tax treaties with countries like Canada so you don't get double-taxed. The only case in which you get double taxed is if the US has no treaty with the country.

This is only true for federal taxes. States aren't required to follow federal tax treaties. So California, for example, doesn't recognize any tax treaty with Canada. There are lots of ways you can wind up getting taxed twice.
My favorite pet theory is that depression is the equivalent of autoimmune reaction for the brain. The same way we need some exposure to dirt to calibrate our immune system to not go berserk with some food allergies or lupus, probably we need something in our life to calibrate our brains' loopback feeds.
I can follow lots of your arguments. And I do believe that a lot of interventions does in the end lead to disaster.

That one point of view. What would have happened on the other hand, if some countries did not intervene in Bosnia? Could we have watched one ethnic group genociding another? Should we have stood by the sidelines doing nothing?

I have no final opinion on my last point, as I as pacifist do not believe in military interventions at all. On the other hand I am a realist and have to calculate the possible costs for every alternative. And in some cases the costs of inaction might outweigh the cost intervention.

As said not really sure myself, still evaluating this thought.

And I also try to look at the reasons behind these actions. Why did some countries (US and others) do what they did, what was to gain, what to loose. What are the economic implications - and so on.
Sorry, I am not sure Bitcoin can be a niche currency. It needs to be big enough to survive.

If most people prefer to use other crypto instead then Bitcoin may fall into a death spiral:

...lower the demand for bitcoins -> lower the price of bitcoin AND lower amount of bitcoin transactions -> less profitable the mining -> less secure the network -> lower the demand for bitcoins....

Go is more likely to replace Java as high throughput/low latency server technology.

I've seen it in huge companies working with lots of data at high speeds.

Javascript sees a lot of use in small shops where devs only want to learn a few languages, or for fullstack devs who work on both ends of the stack.

You see it a lot in HN because javascript is getting pretty saturated - people are already doing EVERYTHING in it. Go on the other hand is just breaking into a few key areas, and is a lot younger, and I would even go as far as to say more exciting.
Because muslim populations are a minority, and islamism only attracts a fraction of that minority. Minorities usually don't have a political party. But the recent terrorist attacks and the large number of european fighters in ISIS makes the rise of Islamism in the West only too obvious. And keeping in mind that violent partisans are usually a fraction of the sympathisers, like violent marxists activists in the 70s were only a fraction of communists sympathisers.

I enjoy these games as well, but recognize their market appeal is very narrow. These games don't drive sales of consoles or PC's.

Well, they don't drive PC and console sales, perhaps in part due to the limitations of the existing platforms.

Driving and especially flying games suffer more from the limited point-of-view. I'm often switching to the 3rd-person view to get a better handle on how my car is placed on the track.

For combat flight sims, one of the UI staples for the last 20 years has been showing markers on the edge of the screen to indicate the current target. You spend a lot of the time in those games without your enemy in view, which, frankly, stinks. But that's the limitation of the current platforms based around a monitor / TV. There have been hacks to help with this, but they aren't that great IMHO.

VR could really help these types of games have a much broader appeal, because of the immersion.
Speaking to its small and high quality implementations, Verisign gave a talk on how they used it for their high availability/performance servers. Rather than the usual throw more hardware redundancy at the problem, they went the other extreme and audited and understood every line of code in Lua so they could create a reliable system by eliminating bugs.

And Wikipedia (Wikimedia) uses Lua for their multimedia scripting engine. Besides good performance, the implementation was good and small enough that it could be audited for security.
Good to see this update. Sometimes it seems that very little is known about their progress.
