Amazon Gobbles Downtown Seattle, Builds Biospheres
Questions unfortunately not answered by the article:

a) Who profits from this recycling program? How many people get a western salary to coordinate all this?

b) Following from (a), how many optometrists and lens makers could make a living in Cambodia if people just put $1 in a collection box each time they'd dump their used glasses in a box?

This suspiciously sounds like the "2nd hand clothes for Africa" scam that only profits the collectors of those in western countries and destroys local tailors' businesses in the target market.
Hey -- this seems really cool, especially for one Jekyll site I manage but want a nontechnical person to be able to update. I found a bug(?) though -- I linked it to a site deployed on S3 and published a test post, and it pushed all the newly built files to s3, but didn't set them to the public-read ACL, so I got AccessDenied errors on refresh until I logged into s3 and manually set them public myself.

Edit: Another piece of feedback -- it's really awesome that it picks up on my custom frontmatter when editing posts, but when I create a new post, none of the custom frontmatter fields are there. Can I enter the frontmatter in the WYSIWYG or is there some other way to add it?
Just a thought... I wonder if all the 3-d overlays that the maps apps have now could be dumped to VRML. I presume so. That would allow people to go through maps in VRML, and Google Street View in VRML would be pretty darn cool.
It would still be a pretty grotesque insult to victims of actual ethnic cleansing.
I get around 400 mails per day and over several years Outlook has not failed. Exchange environment.
I could probably do the same, but I'm blessed with one eye that's twice as myopic as the other, so I'd have do some lens swapping.
A lot of comments about Thunderbird here, despite the article saying "Save your apologist comments and what about Open Office/Geary/Thunderbird comments.". That means don't comment about it.

The interesting part of the article is not the part about why this guy uses Windows!
Interesting. GNURadio is horrific to work with programmatically, and the UI is only passable. Unfortunately, the tricky part seems to be writing all the hardware-specific integration blocks and such, so cleaner programmatic interfaces in other languages aren't really useful. Hopefully we can get some competition in this area.
Learning Representations by Back-propagating Errors(Hinton et al 1986) [pdf]
This frustrates me greatly, only because I agree with you so vehemently :-) We have an open issue tracker where real decisions are made, and so engineers will argue about different approaches. Compare to alternatives, where you see demos that are double-acts of good-cop vs good-cop where apparently there are no trade-offs and everything is perfect. It isn't my experience that products where the debates are hidden are better; it is certainly easier to see the compromises when the debates are public.

So: there was a big discussion about whether a single k8s cluster should span multiple AZs (which shipped in 1.2), or whether we should allow the API to target multiple independent clusters (federation, the first version of which is shipping in 1.3). The core of the argument is that multi-zone is simpler for most users, but with only one control plane it is less reliable than a federation of totally independent clusters. Federation also brings other benefits, like solving the problem of running in clusters that are not in a single "datacenter" i.e. where you need to worry about non-uniform latency. I haven't seen anyone else make a serious attempt at solving this.

So, remember that the issue tracker is filled with the unvarnished discussions that come from true open source development. I think it is an asset for you, because you don't discover those things 3 months into using your chosen product; but it is definitely a liability for k8s, because we rely on you realizing this in your initial evaluation and weighting appropriately (the devil you know vs the devil you don't). I think k8s is likely much better than you think it is, and you should come talk to us on slack and make sure of that fact! It certainly sounds like you have an interesting use case that we'd like to hear about and consider.

But yes, our docs should be better!
> You actually did not address how being against Israel's right to exist is equivalent to anti-Semitism, which was the intent of my question.

I must've misunderstood it then. Well, isn't it obvious? If you don't deny other ethnicities their nationhood and state, but somehow think that jews don't deserve the same treatment, how can it be not anti-semitic?

Amazon is a high-flying stock that is great until it isn't. If they have a significant earning miss it other misstep, the stock will be punished.

It's a great company, but you need to understand the business and understand what Wall St expectations are.
This is actually quite good code. Thanks for the post
This is quite possibly the nerdiest thing ever written by man. I've never seen so many references in a blog post about an anime robot. Nevertheless, I liked it.
Aluminum (and steel) is one of the very few things that is in any way worthwhile to recycle. Most of the things that we are urged to recycle (glass, plastics, paper, cardboard, etc) are cheaper and easier to make new from the abundant raw materials.
I think Gnudows is a pretty catchy portmanteau.
Pretty much every country on this planet is not populated by people "native" to that country. So saying Israel has no right to exist based on this argument while applying that argument only to Israel is discriminatory. This is before we even address the question of whether this claim is even true or how it is to be judged. If someone's political opinion is that everyone should move back to where their ancestors lived at some specific time in history and they apply it to everyone equally then I would think that's weird and not going to happen but I'd be fine with that.

Typically I don't like to engage in political discussion about the middle east because most people have no clue about the history of the region and interpret what's going on over there through some lens with a very shallow depth of field. That tends to apply to Israelis as well. That said I think antisemitism is still a concern that we have to speak out about and definitely some modern incarnations of antisemitism are directed towards Israel. That doesn't mean that any criticism of Israel is antisemitic but it's just something that makes things more complicated.
Your going to run out of buttons fairly quickly unless the meal can talk to the microwave. And at that point it might as well just give cooking instructions.

Honestly, this would be a great use for QR codes, but there is probably a patent out there.
Damn it, even Linux wants me to get windows 10 now?
Nah, it's whether or not they are actually ripe or not. Go to a pick-your-own place and pick some dark red, fist-sized berries and your mouth will thank you, and you'll never be happy with a grocery store strawberry again.
One nit:

> Interestingly, the spell enlarge person from the tabletop RPG Dungeons & Dragons agrees with half of the law (Cook et al., 2003). To double in size, the target of the spell has its weight multiplied by eight, in accordance with the “cube law”. However, the target receives a fixed Strength modifier of +2, instead of having an increase proportional to his/her base Strength value, which would make more sense.

The strength scale is nonlinear to begin with. I don't quite remember for sure, but I think it might be exponential, in terms of bench-pressing ability. It's meant to reflect that adding 100kg to your weight limit is far more useful if it's a doubling than if it's 10%.

Also, Tengen Toppa runs on DETERMINATION and IRON WILL, and the laws of physics therefore do not apply.
Probably half are commercial bushes we bought from Agway - no idea what strain they are. The others are older, older than I am, anyway, and who knows what they are...
I use emacs with notmuch for my email. I have never found anything better, and yes I've used Outlook.

Searching with notmuch is blazing fast and works better than gmail search.

HTML email is handled by w3m. The new "eww" would probably work also but I haven't tried that yet.

It's possible to send HTML email by writing in org-mode markup, but I haven't done that either. If people can inflict their HTML email on me, they can deal with my plain-text replies.

They are using a Raft based store inside the engine now so there is no external etcd dependency. IIRC they are using etcd's raft implementation.
Save your FUD, I've been using computers for 16 years and I've never had this problem. Malware/Ransomware hit only if you go around the dark corners in search of porn/free stuff without knowing what you're downloading. Even then the built in Windows defender catches it.

I love Arch too but people like you are so die hard in their toxicity that any collaboration asking about Windows related stuff is impossible.
And again, if nobody lived in Palestine (the geographical region) then you would have a point that there is an equivalence.

Otherwise, you need to argue that there is a higher moral value to giving the horribly oppressed Jewish people a state than the immorality of taking away the land of indigenous peoples. But that is a matter of judgement (esp. given anti-Semitism in the UK/US, esp. the UK, at the time leading to us not accepting them all as political refugees), not bigotry.

Lync/Skype for Business tends to play havoc with Outlook data files, I've found.
Couldn't 100% of your claim be solved with just the salary variable? What evidence do you have that old+female+cheap people are not being considered as part of the option matrix?
I read that the alloy used in the tops of aluminum cans is different from the alloy used in the body [1], and as a result when they're melted down they create a third alloy. That seems like it's at odds with the claim that it's infinitely recyclable and "can be recycled and back on the store shelf as a new beverage can in less than 60 days" [2]. Anyone know the answer to that?

My default reading mode is to speed through text. It's useful for skimming for answers to specific questions but in other scenarios it's a bad impulse that I intentionally check.

Whether it's dense full of ideas or just has wonderful prose -- I get so much more out of it when I really take my time.

OK - but if you've just changed job, the overhead of this will get lost in the noise. And this even assumes that these decisions are rightly to be left up to the employee, and not decided by the company. (E.g., HTML email display and/or displaying remote images may be a security risk, and so it could be banned entirely. It's not unusual to mandate fonts and signature for public-facing correspondence. And so on.)
Shut you pussy mouth, whore.
Lead too because it keeps it out of the environment and reduces the need for lead mining.
I'm in the first camp of looking up every word you don't know. In my opinion speed reading doesn't do much for you if you don't know enough words. I saw an article that explained how fast our comprehension drops when there are words we don't understand in a sentence. This was done by using a slider that would hide a percentage of words in an English paragraph. Basically if you know about 90%+ of the words you can understand everything, but things drop off very quickly from there. Once you have no chance at understanding the thing you're reading I think the benefits of having read it are marginal compared to just looking up the words you don't understand.
Exactly same experience like m00dy's. It took almost month to get everything handled. Team is usually unresponsive. Feels like they have tons of candidates and choosing only 1 among 100K and because of that process takes so much time to finish.
I read the complete article, and I'm kind of skeptical of the conclusions.

Having travelled in Asia, for example, they have the skill and parts to repair eyeglasses and cut lenses to old frames. (In fact, I get my glasses repaired in Manila since the eyeglass cartel in the USA refuses to do major repairs. I've certainly tried in Silicon Valley multiple times.)

Also, eyeglass cases are considered to be valuable and resold for $1 - $5 each.

And finally, somebody with a suitcase could haul 100 - 200 frames on their next trip at no cost.

I think if they were willing to do minor repairs and record the measurements in a database, donations could be a much more efficient charity.
Tcl may be the most under appreciated language.
Or makes environmental effort seem pointless and irrelevent.

This is one of those case where there has been actual research, but the results mat be fairly complex.
I have a MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro and recently one of my monitors died (LED Cinema Display logic board most likely).

Apple had just announced the discontinuation of their Thunderbolt Display which is considered by many to be obsolete due to its non-retina 2560 x 1440 resolution.

So, I considered the exact monitor featured in this Ask HN as well as several other ultrawide/4K monitors and low-end monitors [0, 1], but eventually I went with the discontinued and "overpriced" Thunderbolt display because it has a Thunderbolt port and USB 3 ports.

That is, the ability to connect peripheral devices to my computer actually ranks pretty high on my list of must-haves for a monitor.

I'm not thrilled at the dearth of choices for monitors with built-in cameras, mics, and high-throughput I/O, and I wish manufacturers other than Apple had offerings that matched high-resolution with high-throughput.

Corrugated cardboard is a net benefit to recycle, I've heard. Otherwise you are correct. It's just feel-good. Most of what you drop off at recycling centers is just trucked to landfills after it's out of your sight.
Yes. I'm insecure about myself and I feel like having a lot of money might solve the issue. At least let me walk around confidently, comfortable in my own skin. At least, that's the hypothesis.
How many billions...and I feel like this is a completely useless fact.

All I see is that (again) models don't predict things, and they managed to make a slightly odd bit of dust. Every single other academic field has uses...this one seems to be filled with expensive errors.
Umm no you can't. Hacker News comments are not considered reliable sources [0] because they are self-published [1]. The only exceptions would be if the subject of the article is talking about themselves, or if the commenter is an established subject expert. (Not meaning that they have a degree in it or are good at their job, but are widely considered an expert such as Dennis Ritchie on C) Even then the former is only meant for specific cases [2] and higher quality sources are always preferred. If any average joe could talk on a topic and include their opinion in Wikipedia because it was "published", it would not be the high quality resource it is today and that is also why the concept of what makes a reliable source isn't so intuitive.

Turn it into more billions, I guess. There really is no point, but then again, a lot of things seem pointless to me.
There’s something about “translating system calls” that just makes me wary. It’s the kind of thing that could be proven to work for some common cases while failing in mysterious ways for others (not to mention being hard to debug).

Generally, there is a gap between what’s documented, what was thought to be true, and what is. At some point they will produce behavior that just doesn’t match what compiled code expects. For how many libraries, applications and combinations thereof will they deal with this?

And then there’s maintenance. This is a scary kind of layer to be responsible for; future Microsoft employees will have a hard time doing anything to this layer without risking new misbehavior so we have to trust that they either know what they’re doing or that they won’t touch anything.

I’m not saying that they weren’t clever to try this, or that there isn’t a way to pull this off successfully. I do think the odds are against them though. Or maybe, I just missed something about their implementation that makes this a lot less risky than it seems to be.
Using a Kindle/iPad/laptop really helps with ad nauseam dictionary lookups, since you can just tap the word and get the definition right there. The Kindle even saves looked-up words to a vocabulary list to help you remember them.
Read both the source article and the meta.. I don't see the sexism. Isn't this the male equivalent of "Eat, pray, love"?

>Whether women are being encouraged to rid our homes of useless belongings, or urged to shop for new ones, the result is the same: Society continues to associate women with the home and the material, men with the outside and experiences.

I'm sure if this writer was writing about a shift towards more materialism, they'd just be saying something like "women are being blasted at all angles with messages that they need to buy yet another dress or kitchen appliance".

It's clickbait drivel.
I didn't see it either. And I have no complaint if you want to live with minimal posessions and spend your money on "experiences."

But if you're 30 years old and your mom is doing your laundry, that is pathetic. Full stop.
Interesting, thanks. Personally, Docker is already too monolithic, and this just looks like it adds unnecessary coupling to something should be less coupled in the first place. I'd prefer to use etcd.

I think rkt is making some good decisions and is worth keeping an eye on. Not sure I love the tight coupling to systemd, but the fact that it avoids the PID 0 problem and lets containers be their own processes (separate from the "engine", which can choreograph containers through the systemd API, building on all of its process handling logic) are improvements over Docker. In fact, rkt uses the same networking model as Kubernetes.
Thank you for making this. It's cool.

OOT, at first glance, the design of website looks like Ubuntu documentation page.
Thanks for this. It's a good explanation which addresses the point I was thinking about. You raise some good points which I'll have to think more about.

Just quickly, I am thinking that the fact there are Palestinians alive today who have been displaced renders the question much more urgent and potent than the problematic elimination of Native Americans >100 years ago, for example.

Think about this: A job is a job. If you're applying for a job, you want it, or at least you want the option to take it. It's true AA hires have to go the extra mile to prove their competence, but having a forum to do it is a huge advantage. So is getting paid.

Sure, I was more commenting on the parent post that suggested that the cost was doing to a "context switch" when its not a context switch at all its mode switch - to "kernel mode."

If you are trying to save microseconds you are probably running special hardware like the SolarFlare network cards which also run the drivers in user space. These are generally hedge funds or high frequency trading shops. I can't imagine anyone else could justify the price.
The ecommerce service was also known as ECS, but when the EC2 Container Service was named internally, only after naming was it discovered that ECS was a long ago service which still had its end points running for the people still using it. After a bit of fumbling around, we got a domain name that worked, but going through the history from the inside was fun!

Many people who get ransomwared are naive victims of phishing emails, some of which are fairly convincing. There are usually some red flags if you're paying attention, but it only takes one mistake.
GNU Parallel will also infloop if any process on the system (run by any user) has an empty argv[0] (which can actually happen; parallel scans /proc to find instances of itself). When I reported the bug, the author refused to fix it on the grounds that this behavior is a "malware detector". Between this weirdness and the citation-interface weirdness, I'm not keen on GNU Parallel.
I was actually looking for a CMS I could use for my dad's forestry company. I could set up the server and design, and he could log in to change the content.
The very name of these teams implies at least three erroneous conceptions:

1. That the teams themselves are completely impartial.

2. That holding any sort of bias is wrong.

3. That we need to be protected from incidents of bias.

Have the universities attempted to prove any of these ideas or is questioning prohibited?
Sure, because it is not like anyone would accuse them of abusive business practices and of trying to kill open source if they made it impossible to run software not signed by them... /s

Even if you assume they would add a UEFI "enable developer mode" setting, this would get them so much bad press (and, also, it would actually make developing and distributing software on Windows a lot harder for smaller and open-source developers, and deploying custom software harder for enterprise costumers).
So your complaint is that GM did business in Flint, and then stopped? That's very far from taking wealth out of Flint.
