> @Intel: how about thinking about 10GHz single core CPUs? And where is Atom? Why are we stuck in 2006 era CPU singe core performance?

Because that's physically impractical (if not impossible) with today's technology. Intel themselves actually have a good article[0] on the topic. Besides, there's way more to CPU performance than clock speed—today's Intel CPUs are several times faster than the Penitum 4, for instance, even at lower frequencies.

> @nVidia: how about thinking about affordable high end GPUs? The GPUs got 400% more expensive since 2011.

What are you talking about? GPU performance is plateauing a little bit, but the cards are only getting cheaper and more energy efficient, especially the high-end ones. Both Nvidia and AMD have announced new high-end cards coming soon that will give you the performance of the current high-end cards (Titan X and Fury X) at a little over half the price. Edit: Apparently they won't be that much cheaper than previous generations, but certainly within the grasp of any enthusiast or professional who really wants/needs them.

Plus, isn't "affordable high end" kind of an oxymoron? "High end" is almost by definition not affordable for most people.

This is the consequence of the chosen programming language not being adapted to work with a relational database. The language is made to work with objects, and the access to DB is clumsy, trough library functions, which are deeply encapsulated, and the language and the DB are two different worlds. In SAP's ABAP language relational database access is integrated into the language. In SAP, when you create a database table, the structure of that table will be automatically available to any program as a structure datatype. So if you change a table definition, you will also change the data type used by the programs. Doing table changes is supported by a database tool that will automatically copy records from the old table to the new one if necessary. Its easy to find all references to a DB table, and recompile the sources. Its actually done automatically when both program and DB structure changes are deployed. Whatever change the developer does in the development system, that change will be automatically adjusted in the productive system on deployment. This makes any table structure change pretty easy, the development environment takes care of that. Wherever SAP applications use blobs to store data (for example HR payroll), those are the worst to develop with. Doing a non-simple change on a TB big table would surely cause disruption in a SAP system too, but other techniques are available for those cases.

Zero Day exploit affecting nearly all Windows versions goes on sale for $95,000
The issue is that some shareholders were forced to sell at $13/share even if they didn't want to. There were a minority of shareholders who were holding onto the shares on the assumption that the new long term vision would work out great and expecting their shares to be worth something >$13/share. Those people were forced to sell at $13 because the majority of shareholders agreed to take $13/share and let the company go private. Maybe someone bought at $14 a share years ago and simply was a buy and hold investor living off the dividends and convinced that it was under priced but totally ok with that because they expected to own the company forever. That person would be pissed at the $13/share offer.
You voluntarily connected your cell phone to their cell towers. Why do they even have to tell you they're recording this information? If you don't want them to know where you are, howabout... don't connect to their fucking cell network.

If you go for a walk around your city, do you have this expectation that people who see you on the street aren't allowed to remember that they saw you out on the street? If you make a phone call to a business, they aren't allowed to record the fact that you called them, and from what number you called them?

I am a junior iOS developer who has written applications in both Objective C and Swift. As a freelancer, I can help you get your simple app idea off the ground, or if working with other developers, I can assist in the development of more complex applications.
I have been using FF for many years, recently it locked up my ubuntu 12.04 and 16.04 a few times really badly(used all memory and swap space before OOM kicks in, rendered the machine totally unusable for 10~30 minutes, I always ended up cold-boot it). Two weeks ago I decided to switch to Chrome, so far so good.

While I love FF and hope it gets stronger, its market share is sadly dropping sharply, I recently read it's about 10% of the market share? That's a red flag considering Mozilla does not have the deep pocket to compete with Chrome and the awakening IE, and Safari.

The future does not look rosy for FF I am afraid.
Depends. If you're hoping for high uptimes but aren't forced to guarantee them, you can get awfully far with a good Lenovo box running RAID1, Qmail and judicious application of uninterruptible power supplies.
I think the buyer gets a large majority of the votes from the shareholders to sell at $X/share.
To some extent. But most IoT applications aren't about heavy back-end processing. They are about capturing things that were to small to bother with before. The amazon dash buttons would actually save them a few page loads when you order tide because they never had to load the gui. If your fridge is emailing your shopping list to some server once a day ( assume it makes 5 or 6 calls while you cook dinner or whatever ) so again you're not making a huge impact on a server. It may be some increase, but much of that is probably offset as we become better at over subscription of huge servers.

Ask HN: Which are the best books for security conscious full stack web devs?
So many different things that can go wrong. So many information in different places. Any really good books or sites for security conscious full stack web developers? Hopefully, easy to read :)
you jest but this is actually a valid point.
How many smaller businesses that use salesforce would have lost all their data with hardware failures over the years? Most smaller businesses have absolutely no backups. Remember HN is the exception as were a technical crowd ;)
yeah I use nginx-rtmp for local video capturing (basically the functionality of a mirror) and the lag that needing to re-encode + chunk + starting off at the beginning of the chunks in the playlist introduces is meh. I think I'm going to transition my project over to WebRTC though, since the mobile device I'm using to display the video can handle that now.

A few major things we wanted to accomplish:

Backed by etcd. Today etcd is a well tested and widely used consistent store with users like Kubernetes, Flannel (now Canal), Fleet, SkyDNS and many others. Building something like etcd requires tons of testing and etcd is becoming the solid go to for this category of distributed problems.

Easy to work on code base. Building an OSS community around a complex technology is really hard. It shouldn't be underestimated that a code base that can be built on OS X, Linux, and Windows will have an advantage in getting people involved and maturing the project.

Designed for other storage application. Torus is backed by a distributed storage interface that is exposed via gRPC (with the opportunity for language bindings in lots of languages). Our hope is to let people build write-ahead log systems, object systems, or filesystems on top of this abstraction.

Flexibility built into the storage layer. Over time we want people to implement different hash maps or explicit configuration of storage layout. This is an abstraction that we have today and intend to build out over time with feedback from users.

Happy to answer more questions. This is a young project and we look forward to working with people and hearing about what they want out of a storage system. Overall, we want to build something with folks that is easy to work on and backs itself with technologies that are getting good operational understanding in the "Cloud Native" space.
We added the question mark last night. We do that sometimes when a title is controversial and we don't have a way of verifying or disproving it.

Any resemblance to actual Betteridges is purely coincidental.

> SO when an employer is forced to pay all employees a basic income

BI is not paid by employers to employees. You seem to be confusing Basic Income with some kind of minimum wage.

> this means taking pay raises / income / benefits from the other employees.

Or it means reducing returns to capital; this is fairly expressly the case in UBI funded by increases in taxation of capital income.
I just hope the performance is visibly better than of gluster. Especially for small files.
The more I look at Rust the less I like the syntax, what are those? "Ok(())"
When you say imported, do you mean you literally paid import fees in addition to just the shipping cost? If so, how much was that?
That's the reason why I've listed so many: I try to challenge myself to learn something quickly.

The other reason is my mathematics background.

For instance, I'm not very strong in Haskell, but I can do a thing or two in it and move forward in -thinking- in the functional paradigm.

At present, I think I could manage writing "production grade" code in a handful of those languages, and have only spent a non-trivial amount of time in C++, PHP and JavaScript.

Testing is also a weak area of mine.

Take that for what you will.
Astranis (YC W16) | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite

We’re building small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Our mission is to help bring the 4 billion people online who are without internet. And to pull it off we have to reinvent 30 GHz radios in space using SDRs.

Work with incredibly smart people who have flown things in space before. Well-funded, but still a very small team that moves fast. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be ok with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard.

Roles we’re hiring for include:

* Embedded software -- write mission critical software that runs the spacecraft. Should have experience with microcontroller driver-level code and basic PCB design.

* Electrical -- PCB design, layout, bringup, test. Bonus: experience with fault-tolerant electronics, power systems, or high speed digital design

* Mechanical -- design, build, and test deployables and mechanisms. Should be experienced in stress and thermal analysis

* Aerospace/controls -- implement solutions to 6 DOF, non-linear control problems. Experience with spacecraft controls is a plus but not required.

* RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range including microwave system-level design, RF PCB design, and antenna design, simulation, and characterization.

* DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores

Please email john@astranis.com if you’re interested in learning more.
I had no idea she owned common shares. Is that typical for founders? I thought founders always had preferred but I'm not exactly experienced in this area.

Curious where Theranos goes from here. They have recalled much of their testing results as inaccurate and the entire PR disaster could have been cleaned up with a simple technology demonstration which seems to indicate to me that it simply doesn't work. So can they pull a rabbit out of a hat and make it work, will they pivot or will they ultimately close up shop?

Such an interesting story. I feel almost guilty watching it unfold waiting for the next part of the story.
Photo gallery of world's longest tunnel under Swiss Alps
True, but the concept of consumer surplus fundamentally changes in financial markets, in which both parties want the same thing -- more money. In most markets, people want different things, so it's understandable for both parties to be better off, since each value's the other's stuff more. Nothing funny about Alice valuing Bob's widget more than her wadget, and vice versa.

But when both parties want "the thing that throws off the most money", it's a lot harder to come up with a scenario in which (reflectively consistent) preference sets allow for a range of possible sale/purchase values.

IOW, it's fine for a worker to be (hypothetically) willing to take a lower-than-market value for their labor ... but if a financial seller is, then there's (probably) a misvaluation somewhere, and thus an EMH violation.
also your system of ranking should allow "anonymous" votes somehow. figure out a simple logic and implement it. strive to have 2 votes, one anonymous and registered. I hate registering, but if I felt like my anon vote counted, i might be inclined to remember this site more.
GP said "at any moment". If the SLA is per-month, 8h won't happen all at once.
Anyone else think this VR stuff is going to crash and burn hard? I'm really not sure why there is so much optimism around this area, it seems way too niche to drive general trends in computing.

There's at least a couple of kinds of Quakers: ones with ministers and ones without. My wife belongs to a Meeting that doesn't have a minister. Instead of having someone preach, the attenders sit silently in a circle. If someone is moved to say something, they stand up and say it. Sometimes one or more people will respond.

Meeting decisions have to be unanimous. It's a real source of frustration at times trying to convince the last holdout.

Instead of a minister, they have a clerk. The clerk is elected and coordinates the church for a year.

Before we were married, we had to meet several times with a clearance committee that had to say that we were ready to marry. I understand many ministers do something similar but this was a great thing. One of the members said it used to be a way that parents could stall a marriage - things were different 200 years ago with teenagers wanting to get married. (My wife and I were 33 and 39.)

I remember reading an article about calling "root" "clerk" as a way to deter your boss from asking for root privileges.
Thank you! That is helpful feedback.
