And they really mean "absolute max". See these pictures of Panamax ships being carefully squeezed through the locks.[1]

The original two lock lanes were built in 1917, and they were built big for the time. But bigger ships are now available and won't fit. So the Panama Canal Authority just finished a third lock lane, with longer, wider, and deeper locks, for larger ships.[2] There were problems with the new construction, including serious leaks in the concrete. But the new locks open for business in 10 days.

Here's good drone imagery of the new locks being used by a ship for the first test run.[3]

If you're really into this, here's a video of the basic operational procedures for using the new locks.[4] A maximum sized, fully loaded container ship pays about $1M in tolls for each transit. That's about $85 per container. There's a loyalty program for regular customers, with discounts.

In current ICE engines, an alarming amount of fuel goes out the tailpipe. This not only cuts down on fuel efficiency and pollutes the air, it also makes the engine noisy.

The "an alarming amount of fuel goes out the tailpipe" is reminiscent of the wording associated with various fuel-saver scam gadgets. In practice, this is measured in HC emissions, which are usually in the low tens of PPM range on a properly tuned engine.

Disregarding mechanical sources, engine noise is largely caused by the high-pressure gases flowing out the exhaust with pulsations on each power stroke. The distinctive beating of a low-cylinder-count engine e.g. a motorcycle is entirely this phenomenon. To attribute the noise of a properly functioning (i.e. not backfiring) engine to "unburned fuel" is completely wrong.
I've been running ZFS in prod since 2008 (on Solaris). Bear in mind that was not long after the "silent data corruption" problem that bit Joyent, but more quotodien problems such as:

* no reserved space on the disk means you can fill it up and then not be able to delete files or extend it because there was no space for COW operations. Sun's answer? Delete the filesystem, recreate and restore from backup.

* zpool management is a pain in the arse generally, and the zpool/zfs distinction is pretty clearly designed on the assumption you'll have sysadmins paying a lot of attention to the low lever FS and pool management.

Imagine Steve Jobs being told "your disk filled up and now you need to reformat it". Apple didn't reject ZFS because (whatever some embittered Sun blogger says) of NIH. They rejected it because it wasn't fit for purpose as a consumer desktop filesystem.
I received this e-mail and had my password reset by Github. Based on the "security history" shown in my Github account's setting page, my account wasn't compromised as there was no login activity during the past week.

I'm thinking that this is fallout from the LinkedIn breach, because this is the first high-profile breach which includes one of my e-mail addresses. (How do I know this? I'm using haveibeenpwned.com -- a free service that I highly suggest registering with.)
Some of the rumors going on say that management back home is very provincial and are rigidly Confucian (hierarchical), which they enforce on their satellite operations. Also, your basic big corp in tech are quite internationalized from the start even at home; e.g. IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Facebook, Apple already employ those from many different cultures even in their home offices.

I guess they are making efforts to work on this:

> And I do not see how this is bad, maybe Samsung is trying to learn why 'Western' engineering is so much superior to 'Asian' engineering by this acquisition ?

It depends if you want to be part of their learning experience or not! Chinese companies have adapted pretty well to acquisitions and satellites, so it isn't an Asian thing. Japanese companies have been known to have similar problems in the past and even currently (though it really depends on the company, and many have had a lot of time to gain experience).

Actually, Japan is another country that is notorious for not being as great as they should be at software, maybe there is a common thing going on?

Ugh, let's just lock them in a box with a hamster wheel and a feeding tube. Or a Dr. Venture learning bed. Nothing good will come of wasting even more of children's time in public schooling.

Really, we should all get a summer vacation. Obviously, doing it all at the same time would be problematic, but the standard ten or fifteen days off over the whole year is just stupid. I would kill for two and a half months off to learn some hard things and get some projects done.
CRISPR-9cas isn't a patent on life or a naturally occurring process, it's a new novel technique for cutting DNA.

I'm confused. The article implies that 'westbound' ships are headed the opposite direction of ships headed for New York. But ships traverse the Panama Canal from east to west on the way from Asia to New York.

Is there a convention of calling ships that cross Panama from southeast to northwest 'eastbound' and ships that traverse from northwest to southeast 'westbound?' Because that seems like it would be even more confusing that things already are.

0.75hp/lb is better than the 0.1625hp/lb engine they replaced with it, but doesn't seem so revolutionary compared to the power-to-weight of existing engines:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio#Engines

Even the well-known Mazda rotary is slightly better at 0.92hp/lb, and various aviation engines have higher power-to-weight ratios still.
Oh boy.. I forgot just how bad the controls were for this thing.

This is potentially very interesting for medium sized drones that need 12+ hour endurance, as lithium ion/lipo batteries just don't have the energy density of gasoline... Even when you lose 50% to heat in a typical internal combustion engine the kilojoules per kilogram is so much greater in a liquid hydrocarbon fuel.

If a bit flips after checksumming, whether in the data or checksum, the file can either be fixed automatically or marked corrupted for manual restoration.

But if the problem is the RAM or CPU, the bit could also flip before checksumming. Then the incorrectly written data will have a matching checksum and the corruption can't be detected.

That's why ECC is important.

I wonder what would Samsung gain from an IaaS kind of company. Do they have an IaaS product? Or is it for internal use?
I think the big difference is this is really, really light weight and tiny compared to a small aviation engine. More in the category of something you would power a 100 kilogram drone with than an ultralight or LSA category aircraft.
I see a lot of reasons not to use these providers, but privacy and integrity is not one (and I find it a bad argument against them).

Every traffic passes through so many hops, routers and networks that adding a secure, well tested and privacy-paranoid provider, like CloudFlare will not affect the privacy or integrity of your connection.

Yes, they have to SSL terminate your connection, but does so every proxy that they decide to use (nginx, elb, whatever). Plus, the security that a company like CloudFlare has to protect that data is a lot higher and more strict than the majority of sites out there (including the Internet Archive).

It is also frustrating that people would downvote me above for suggesting to use them, when in fact it is the only way to handle a large scale DDoS uness you have an insane pipe with hundreds of G of uplink.
Really? I think HN loves UBI because it presents the opportunity to try to build a company without the worry of having to figure out how to pay rent and put food on the table. It's a lot easier to take risks when you've got money, however small, coming in.

When they called for research on UBI, everyone focused on what you're focusing on...the hubris that SV thinks it can automate everyone else's jobs. But the point I mention above is, to me, the more powerful one. Freeing people to follow their passions will enable people to give up their 9-5s without first having to save up. Creating a startup is a giant leap into the unknown with only the hope that you'll land safely. UBI is a parachute in case you miss your landing.
I find that many of my friends try to pack their lives full as adults. No one embraces boredom at all. I'm a rock climber, so I know what it's like to get out and do something, but holy crap are people scared of "wasting a day".

Responding in kind only adds to the noise - which can provide no marginal benefit; there are plenty of others already doing the exact same thing - and it obscures the signal. For me, it obscured any signal in your article. I don't care about Samantha Bee, whoever she is, but apparently, like a contagion, her noise spread to your article.

That hard-to-detect signal is all that matters; it's so precious on the Internet; we need to curate it, take care of it. The rest is just "sound and fury".
I think they still own the trademark. So even if anyone can fork node.js they can't use the name.

As a happy nixos user, I have to say that it's conceptually great, but that right now, the management tools are abysmal. Not only are the command line utilities unintuitive to use and pretty slow, but there is simply no graphical frontend, which means that I'm unable to switch family members to it.
I assumed these were going to be filled with FUD, and that this was a "false flag" against the Clinton campaign when I read the blog post without looking at the contents of the documents.

But tbh, all the stuff that's "leaked" looks pretty reasonable to me. The Trump stuff is all true, public knowledge --- obviously spun a little bit, but maybe even more fair to Trump than John Oliver. The policy stuff sounds pretty good to me --- national cyber advisor is probably needed, the crisis response stuff sounds like a pretty good idea, a speech to an Islamic forum in the first 100 days sounds good too.

If this were fake, you'd think it would be more damaging. If anything, this probably makes me a little more comfortable with the idea of voting Clinton, since she has (less) incentive to lie in "confidential documents." (Of course, I don't think that she would have the confidential-confidential-plans-to-expand-the-NSA papers in the hands of a campaign staffer.)

So.... solid leak, Guccifer 2.0. You keep doing you.
Gun control ends gun violence as surely an (sic)
antibiotics end bacterial infections

That's utterly false. There's not even a strong correlation between gun bans and reductions in violent crime. (Mexico and other countries to its south are great examples.)

In the U.S., the violent gun crime rate went down after the 1994 "Assault Weapons" ban lapsed.

Saddest of all, this isn't even labeled as an opinion piece -- they call this "news", not an Op-Ed.
From the CTO's blog post, it seems to me that Samsung became interested in Joyent not for its most famous product, Node.js, but for its new product, Manta, which is some sort of serverless, distributed, data-storage and processing service (https://www.joyent.com/manta). Manta might be well-suited for the new hotness, the Internet of Things.

So that's how I saw it progressing. Samsung was looking into how to get in on the Internet of Things, stumbled across Manta, and it went from there.

I have asked the WHY. I have been quite ambitious since my childhood. I have had grand plans to be a neuro-surgeon, but it failed, then I wanted to be a physicist, but couldn't, then I loved programming and made it into a career. I love everything about it, but I am not as good as I would like to be. My ambitions sometimes hurt me. I wonder at how Elon Musk, Richard Branson and Bill Gates do it, and how I can't. It's quite infuriating.

Thanks for your kind words.
"What's the worst that's going to happen? Some photo is going to get a single bit error? So what? The data doesn't need super high fidelity."

A fact that complicates this argument is the prevalence of compressed data formats. A wrong bit in a photo could corrupt the metadata, or a block of DCT coefficients, such that a whole image block or scan line does not decode, effectively ruining the photo. A wrong bit in a .tar.gz could well corrupt the entire archive. You never know where that bad bit will land.

(Yes, this has happened to me -- a single bit flip, probably from RAM error, corrupted a large .tar.gz -- I tracked it down to the bit that changed because I had another copy.)
What the hate against CloudFlare?

Most of these providers you listed have many issues, more expensive and do a terrible job protecting web sites.

For websites, like the Internet Archive, you do not need a layer 3/4 mitigation only provider. CloudFlare, Incapsula, Sucuri and others do that very well (I know from experience by working with them).
I know you intended this as a compliment, but it reads to me as a backhanded insult to every other anarchist writer.

What you are saying comes across to me like: "It is a delight to read an excellent post by someone from the Muslim world. Most Muslim writings that get passed to me are bogged down in Arabic vocabulary, or have hidden assumptions that don't make sense to me. This piece was written in English, and shows the advantages and disadvantages of Muslim philosophy."

I don't mean to jump down your throat, but I just find it really frustrating how many pro-capitalist demand that every idea be translated into their metaphors and their models and their experiences while putting no stock whatsoever in the fact that entire societies function perfectly well under different value systems. The "you're wrong until you can prove it to me" attitude really bugs me because I think we could advance society so much faster if we worked collaboratively to discover the truth.

I get the sense that you do truly appreciate this essay, but you'd never do the work to try to reach across in the opposite direction. That works fine for you because your ideology is the dominant one, but I think it is an abuse of power.
Same. Great working with the entire engineering team at Joyent.

> Throttling and peering (or not peering) are not the same thing. You said they were. You were/are wrong.

Not peering is still throttling.

> If throttling and (not) peering are the same thing, then Comcast would be forced to peer with Netflix for free. They couldn't not do it.

They would be forced to peer with Netflix, not necessarily for free. That's the problematic part of the rule that needs to be fixed, because it allows Comcast to charge monopoly rents for peering even though peering has minimal costs.

Are you honestly arguing that if Comcast refused to connect Netflix (or anyone with sufficient bandwidth for Netflix) to Comcast customers at any price, that wouldn't be throttling and wouldn't get Comcast in trouble?

Why not get the benefit of both worlds but having centralised repositories for Snaps/Flatpaks? This way developers simply have to push their builds to it.
