Chromebook Pixel 2 users, i5 or i7?
Can't say that's ever happened to me, but I don't recall how many times I've ever let my Pixel completely run out on battery.
Here's my take on it:

- Macbooks

overall good, decent battery(if you configure it right), but terrible wifi and broken cam(some fiddling required, possibly unstable hibernate), no sysrq

- Thinkpad X1

Probably the best support good battery, but no thunderbolt 3, so no external graphics, 16gb ram

- X260 Awesome battery, slower SSD than its competitors 16gb ram, good cpu, mobile broadband, only HD520 graphics(if it had thunderbolt 3 you could upgrade it with a discrete external GPU, shame really ...)

- Dell XPS 13, overall good up to 16 gb ram, Iris graphics, thunderbolt 3, so you could use a razer external discrete GPU(priced at 500 USD though). worse battery than the macbooks

- Surfacebook/Pro probably my favorite device, but linux support is flakey see:

Personally i'm still holding off i have a macbook retina 2013 and an air mid 2013. the retina screen died and i'm aching for a replacement but i want both graphics and battery, but that seems to be a no go. I'm leaning towards the x260, unless surfacebook magically starts working by the time i'm getting a new device.....

Hey Coach How Do I Get People to Do What I Need
Hmmm. I don't think you understand what an executive does. PowerPoint/Excel aren't useful as analytical tools. Their useful as communication tools.

Think of this way. Executives are like engineers whose IDE is PowerPoint/Excel, whose language of choice is human natural language, and who spend their time programming people, not machines.

You're too caught up on the PowerPoint aspect of this story. Most likely it was the guy's ability to persuade that was key. It's people programming, not machine programming that ultimately matters (until the Singularity at least - and then none of what we do matters).

They aren't holding cash. What they are doing is accepting the risk of not being able to finance the property. They're risking the 1% earnest money, but feel it's low risk because they have a good relationship with a bank or know they have good credit.

As for people selling and moving into a new house? Again, they're accepting the risk that they will be able to get bridge financing and sell their existing house.

Conditions have monetary value to both the purchaser and the seller. If you are losing out to people with clean offers, bump your offer by 5% and you'll find that sellers will wait another 2-4 weeks for their money. That's what I had to do to get a house in San Jose (just moved in!).

It's the same as the "discount for debit cards and cash" you can get in electronics stores.

Get a good real-estate agent that _knows_ the area, and listen to what they say the house will sell for. Ours was spot-on 100% of the time.

Next, you need to realize at what points in the sale the power in the relationship changes. Up to offer acceptance? The seller has the power, so offer more money to keep contingencies on the sale. After acceptance power starts to shift to the buyer. Here in California building reports are attached to the house, so a bad foundation is information everyone gets. This means the seller is likely to negotiate the price down or fix things if a bad report comes in. Of course, you have to spend $$ to find that out, and your mortgage application fees are then throw-away, so...

Finally, be honest about what you can afford. If you're not at the tippy-top of your price range, you will be able to stretch just a little bit to get that really sweet house you want.

I was hoping that people here were more skeptical (EDIT: and less hysterical) than users in the forums of the local rags...

Some are fond of perpetuating the narrative that the city will be hollowed out with empty homes and locals fleeing the city. Yet a recent report to city hall reports that detached homes are not as vacant as "popularly" believed:

"The vacancy rate in Vancouver for single-family homes, duplexes and row houses is only about one per cent, and that rate has been static since 2002, according to the report. Meanwhile, the combined vacancy rate for condominiums and purpose-built rental apartments is 7.2 per cent. That number is in line with the findings of a 2013 study by the Urban Futures Institute, which put unoccupied apartments in Vancouver at 6.2 per cent on 2011 Census day."

DNS is hard. Very hard.

It may seems trivial when it works (hint: it's not), but some of the biggest fuck ups I've seen in my professional life were caused by strange DNS things happening or DNS servers going kaboom.

This is awesome. I have experience with running a CitusDB cluster and it pretty much solved a lot of the scaling problems I was having at the time. For it to go open source now, is of huge benefit to the future projects I have.

This is fantastic, sounds like the setup process is much simpler.

I wonder if they have introduced the Active/Active Master solution they were working on? I know before, there is 1 Master and multiple Worker nodes. The solution before was to have a passive backup of the Master.

If say, they released the Active/Active Master later on this year. That's huge. I can pretty much think of my DB solution as done at this point.

We all have different experiences. For example,

My iPhone would ring and I could use speaker on a call but I could not hear music or sound in videos. I rebuilt my image, but the issue persisted for about 3 months!! It was my car audio dock and Apple's hidden "other volume" setting that was the culprit.

At one time, I tried to copy music to my phone, but all new songs were being corrupted. I used 3rd party tools successfully, but iTunes would corrupt the songs when I re-synced my phone. About a month later, Apple fixed the bug - but it was "impossible" to get new songs on my phone.

ITunes crashed during synchronisations and I realised at one point that I had about 25 gigabytes in lost space. I had to erase the phone and recover from a backup to fix the leak, which takes many hours to do. There is no file system fixer for IOS.

In most of these instances, I was snookered because I had no control over my device. Going several months without music was a major inconvenience that Apple failed to solve, despite many attempts. This reinforced that I am not truly in control of my device when such basic things are not possible.

TL;DR Apple "just works" is a myth. It's great when it works and disastrous when it doesn't.

Ahh, you were talking about the Socat modulus. I did miss that! Was it said somewhere or did you find it yourself? I'll check that later but nice finding!

> But index calculus is the right way to do it, and it's not particularly difficult to exploit. P-H only puts a quadratic (at best) factor between you and an attacker; index calculus makes that gap subexponential.

Right now it just doesn't make sense to use index calculus. Method1 is to use a hidden (by the composite modulus) subgroup of small order for the generator. So for a 1024bits modulus, you would either try to do index calculus in a 512 bits modulus or do something like Pollard Rho with a small order.

For the second method you use Pohlig-Hellman on small orders as well, so it wouldn't make sense to use index calculus on a 512 bits modulus again.

Now imagine a 2048bits main modulus n=pq, the problem is now split into two 1024bits modulus p and q. There is no way you can use IC there. But the method I "explained" previously will work. The backdoor will be a NOBUS.

>>I'm not aware of any web infrastructure (i.e. ports 80/443) that uses "a PGP public key" to secure communications.

>I've seen a plenty. In fact, I just sent a PGP encrypted email from gmail over https.

The web infrastructure (i.e. "gmail over https") was secured by a certificate (X.509) that is similar to, but separate from, a GPG key. As a user, you chose to take the extra step of encrypting your message locally, but that fact does not change the fact that the _web infrastructure_ was not secured by "a PGP public key."

I guess I got confused by your mentioning of "a PGP public key" because it is a very odd way to put it, and seems orthogonal to the discussion here that Tor hidden services are useful to people other than for black-market eCommerce operations.
But the question is, is it enterprise-ready? :-)

San Francisco used to be an awesome place, then all those people moved in from some white-only places and it's pretty much gone down hill. It used to be an awesome, diverse place with strong and creative people... now look at it. It's so sterile and void of originality it is sickening in comparison to what it used to be.

Alot of those people imitate the culture and creativity from San Francisco's once diverse population until it's just become another vapid rendition of a once vibrant city.

Look at clowns like "Lil Dicky" for example that exemplify the notoriety of the idiocy that is confused for San Francisco culture.

The worst are the police from the MidWest and other racist places where they openly shoot minorities (Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, Latinos, etc...) then they are assigned to places like San Francisco, Seattle, Silicon Valley, Portland, etc... to gentrify the area. They have been working a lot with the white supremacist "techbros' that plague San Francisco, such that when altercations occur, the police will abuse the minority every time. They even laugh about it too. It's sickening.
I'm using a Asus UX305L with Ubuntu/Gnome and very happy with it.

I went with 2015 model because I wanted the 1920x1080 non-touch screen to save battery.

Ubuntu on the XPS 13 was unavailable in the time period I made the purchase and I didn't want to deal with the wifi hardware issue.

One advantage of the XPS13 is a PCIe connection for the SSD.

You didn't mention cost, but the Asus will generally be a little cheaper.

I've been using the Razer Blade 2015 and I highly recommend it. It's expensive, but the machine itself has Macbook-level build quality and internals. The screen is great and everything works out of the box with Ubuntu. While I do have dual-boot set up, I run Ubuntu 95% of the time and it's been basically flawless. (Caveat: I haven't tried the webcam or hibernate, and I don't use the Nvidia card.)

It's by far the best 14" machine I found when I was shopping around last year. While it's marketed as a gaming laptop it also happens to be a fantastic general-purpose or development machine, especially since Linux runs so well on it. IIRC they recently announced the 2016 model which is cheaper and lighter yet.

Downsides are 1) it's expensive; 2) proprietary parts means no DIY repairs, and Razer requires you to ship your machine in for their very expensive in-house repairs; 3) the black/neon-green color scheme is a little silly, though it's not nearly as bad as pretty much any other laptop marketed as a gaming machine. I bought a round matte black sticker to cover the logo on the lid and it fits pretty well.

I'm pretty salty about Dell these days. I recommended my grandparents get a Dell so I wouldn't have to do too much tech support (I'm really rusty at Windows these days), and Dell decided that a machine manufactured and purchased in late 2012 is "too old" for them to bother making working Windows 10 drivers for. That's some real bullshit there.

Of course, Microsoft has no idea, so the machine gets updated to Windows 10 and tries to send 60hz to the 50hz built in monitor, which decided (actually sensibly) to just blink at you until you fix it.

That was a great experience...
I remember it has been discussed on HN before. The submission was an article about a faux-pas the wife made when she asked her step-father what he was doing. I seem to remember he was afro-american but don't quote me on that. Might as well have been Kenyan. I can't find the article so I googled and found those pieces:

Good example:

I remember getting in trouble when I met a woman from Holland and asked, “What do you do for a living?”
It’s a common question Americans ask.

Her response:

“Why do you care? Would you speak to me differently if I were a janitor than if I were a corporate president?”

My reply:

“Perhaps we have the same job. Or have friends or family in the same profession. When you meet new people, it’s typical (at least for Americans) to try to find what you have in common.”

When I shared this story at a family get together, a cousin mentioned that she had exactly the same experience. It, too, involved someone from Holland.
Neither of us intended to offend or be nosy. It was ordinary conversation. But obviously, not ordinary conversation in some places.

As an android developer:

You have realized that from Android M on you can’t rely on getting notifications on Android anymore unless they go through Google?

Any application running in background – unless it is from Google – can be killed at any moment to save battery.

In Android M, when the device hasn’t been used or moved for half an hour this "Doze" mode activates, usually during the night.

In Android N, it activates as soon as the screen is off.
That's perfect, thanks!
For crouton, which is still tied to chromeos, absolutely not. All that's required is developer mode enabled. For a full, clean linux install, it varies device to device, but is in general a bit more of a pain. There's a full list of compatibility on the arch wiki I believe.
As a practical matter, few people pay for open-source software. In theory, the two issues are orthogonal, but in reality, they are not.
My hunch is that the two are not really related.

Companies of any appreciable size will be happy to pay for support if they choose to make Citus a part of their critical infrastructure. And the industry reached an inflection point where there are enough companies want as much of their infrastructure to be open source as possible, that you can run a company where most of your stuff is open source, while still making a ton of money (like RedHat, CoreOS, Docker, etc)
According the reasoning here it's the second one that's wrong (or rather, unlikely).

Umm, the BABA shares are the only reason why a lot of Yahoos still have jobs. Their "core" businesses are stagnant or shrinking. Wall Street values growth over everything else and Yahoo is on the wrong side of the curve (unlike Google and Facebook).

YHOO's 2015 revenue was the same as their 2012 revenue, but their cost of revenue was up 28%. They're buying traffic and making less money off it.

Meanwhile investors get no dividends while Yahoo spends their money with awful acquisitions. It's no wonder why Wall Street hates YHOO.

Indeed, in fact in most situations it's impossible to be both an ordinary individual and be in an ordinary group.

Hypothetically, let's imagine there were 10 normal-sized planets with 10 people each, and 1 big planet with 1 million. In this scenario everyone is either on a strange (big) planet, or they are on a normal planet but they are not typical individuals, because over 99% live on the big planet.
In college I got a LOT of mileage from printing out my code (this was in the 90s) and sitting down with a pencil and tracing through statement by statement.
