most roles have a ceiling that is very difficult to get above without moving into upper management or starting your own business

Considering we're on a Site Formerly Known as Startup News, starting your own business should definitely be a real option.
I noticed the same thing. VMWare (at least in my experience) runs a GUI in Unity mode at pretty much the same speed as native for xubuntu guests. I/O performance over shared folders is really good in VMWare too.

The only problem is VMWare has abandoned Linux guests in Unity mode for newer releases of VMWare, which likely means you'll be stuck on 7.x and running older guest versions until the end of time.

For me, VirtualBox's deal breakers are:

- VBox doesn't support dual monitors in seamless mode while VMWare does.

- VBox is not capable of running another 64bit OS inside of itself through virtualization, so using Vagrant inside of VBox is not happening. VMWare does not have this limitation.
Absolutely. Thank god for bureaucracy ;)
I am curious how effective this is at larger synfloods. Obviously when something hits near 1gbps, its game over for any server as that floods the uplink (assuming a standard 1gbps hookup)

How many mb/s or pps can this handle on a average server while still having the server be able to respond to legitimate requests? ( lets say a average server is a quad core, 3.5ghz , 8gb ram)
Great job all around, but I think the elephant in the room here is that the police was effectively enabling pedophiles to exchange videos of the sexual abuse of small children. I'm not convinced this feels 100% kosher to me.
The forum is definitely dead these days, but the marketplace is still "somewhat" active, and there are a few skype groups with active daily participation. It seems like no forum has really risen to take its place. More like the SEO guys went one way (BHW, Skype groups), the PPC guys another (private forums, other skype groups).

A lot of the big players are still active and still making money. If you want an invite to a Skype group shoot me an email.
This is the "The Love Zone" (TLZ) case, I believe (which was a Tor HS). Not sure what country the gag order applies in, but I suspect not the United States.
"In every job I've ever left from it has been because the process and experience of being managed in that role had led to burnout even after talking openly with managers about what wasn't working. I'm (perhaps foolishly) a very loyal guy. I'd love nothing more to stay at a company for a long time and get in a groove, even if I was leaving money on the table by doing so. But I can't seem to find any organization that values human-affirming management concepts over and above ritualistic adherence to bureaucratic process."

1000x this!!!
I do exactly the same thing, for example i'm going to leave soon because the development process is so crippled that it just makes me want to cry. I tried to improve it and talk to management but nothing changed. I started to feel a void inside, and i realised that there was nothing i could except leave.

By all means write your proof whichever way you see fit.

What TLA+ and other languages give you is an automated theorem prover or model checked that usually is built on some form of temporal logic and predicate calculus. This is especially good at modelling multiple communicating processes. Taking a logical approach to discrete maths has a few benefits here.

> Even if your TLA proof checks out, it may be a false positive because it doesn't accurately reflect your production code.

This is something one needs to be concerned with when writing high-level, abstract specifications. There's no way yet that I know of where we can synthesize the program from the specification although I am aware of research in that regard. However we can still gain the benefit of well-defined invariants and pre/post-conditions that we can use in testing our implementation. For now your implementation will be separate from your spec but you gain insights from the spec you would not otherwise if you had only written code.

update as to whether it is an efficient use of time to use a model checker or automated theorem prover... Well I think the reason for their invention was to specifically to handle the tedious task of proofs in formal maths. Some operations are tedious and mechanical and computers are better suited to the task than humans.

One area I find interesting is languages with dependent type systems like Agda and Idris. It seems like we're not too far away from being able to model and prove our specifications directly in the type system alongside the program that implements it.
RMS is absolutist, does that make the FSF evil? If one is absolutist about being against rape or child crimes, what evil does that cause? The courage and consistency of ones conviction shouldn't be the basis of judging its merit.
That's harsh, but you have a point. The OP's biggest problem may yet prove to be that he or she has developed an ego too easily dented.

If police had not used the opportunity to collect evidence on many others before closing the site then the paedophiles would have just dispersed before reorganising somewhere else. In the long run I suspect that the total amount of child abuse material exchanged has been reduced.
This is a great strategy, and I use it too. I've heard it referred to as "paying yourself first" since you're treating your future self as your #1 creditor.
hmm...maybe the way we then encode data digitally is also "wrong" or should I say unnatural.
I went to visit a friend in the Philippines in Feb and she'd moved from Manila to Davao specifically for the lower crime under Duterte - he's been mayor there for many years. Although his policies are iffy people there know what they are voting for and he seems popular so far - "84 percent of those surveyed showed 'much trust' in Duterte" http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/795717/sws-duterte-begins-presi...
More realistic advice: live like you would at 2/3 your income and use the extra 1/3 to optimize for low cost as necessary.

>I pay extra to get my groceries delivered because it saves me time.

That vast majority of Americans do everything they can to save a few bucks, even when it's an inefficient use of resources (time and money).

I'm not sure "nickel and diming" a few wealthy people for home delivery is a $60BB business. There's not a huge barrier to entry and margins are low. But what do I know.
> I don't want a vendor to get inbetween me and my user audience, but that problem applies equally to iOS devices and gaming consoles.

So, pre-iPhone, the market for downloadable apps for mobile phones was huge and there wasn't any intermediary parties (like, say, network operators) getting in the way of developers, right?
Im trying, is a service for acounting people we get data from the local IRS then we use machine learning to predict the best way to classify it and type it again on the original system but already classified.
Exactly, they shouldn't be responsible for distracted driving. Autopilot can certainly get better, but you're being willfully ignorant if you don't believe that these Tesla drivers with their hands off the wheel don't fall under distracted driving. Could autopilot improve? Yes. Is the driver at fault here for not staying alert and responsible for the car they chose to drive? Absolutely.

Please show me a source for the claim that they're "implying far more automation" as everything I've ever seen from Tesla on this says hey dummy, don't stop paying attention or take your hands off the wheel.

No, actually I said that the US is still a democracy.

People voted for Obama and they got Obama. Obama may have said what he wanted to do in office back in 2008 and then not been able to achieve those things, but that doesn't make the US undemocratic. That's how representative democracy works - you vote for representatives, not policies.

Since I set a goal for myself(hose/flat/something like that), I looked for a lot of ways to save money, my tips are:

- keep track of every cent spent, i started using GnuCash, but there are a lot of other solutions available
- don't buy yourself a lunch every day, make a sandwich at home, or buy a thermo-box for warm food (this saves me ~30€ every week)

- if possible, drive by bike instead of the car or public transport

- i changed my petroleum gas and power provider and save about ~100€/y

- my opinion about coupons and "best deals" (on the web) is: they only mislead you to buy something you don't need. I only use coupons for grocery, and here you also need to be careful and compare the reduced price to prices of other stores.

- instead of going to the cinema/restaurant my girlfriend & I make picnics in the park or nature near, sometimes a bottle of wine + glasses is sufficent ;)

- second hand buying, ebay doesn't have the good deals anymore i think, but there are other (local) platforms (maybe there is a plugin which cross checks other platforms and puts it next to te amazon price tag?)
Feels like you are missing the sarcasm..

..I hope.
>Think of African or American colonisation for example. Local opposition had to be removed.

I'm sorry, WHAT?!

Please please expound.
Thats the thing, taxi quality varies a lot depending where you go. In Barcelona they are reasonably priced and reliable. Istanbul non seemed to have a clue where they were going and didn't bother when you showed them on the phone map. London are pricey and snobby about what they will let you carry in their cab.
>Not necessarily

Not necessarily, but for all intents and purposes, yes.
This is really to a point where it can only hurt Google. Just look at the word choice in the article:

>The crashes are calling the safety of such automatic driving features into question, just as they're being incorporated into more and more cars on the road.

Tesla's failure in this court harms the entire concept, not just their own brand. The average person isn't going to distinguish between Tesla's inappropriately named 'autopilot', which is not 100% automatic, and Google's, which is.
Playing games on a touch-screen is really not fun, for me at least. I like actual tactile buttons and sticks.

Which brings us to the question of what harm is acceptable to inflict upon one person against his or her will, for the benefit of someone else, or perhaps for many other people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipeholm_experiments

I'm not proposing an answer; I just want to see you all fight about it. :-)
Twitter switching away from a chronological see-everything timeline was a massive departure from its original idea, on the same scale as many of your other examples. To me that was a core feature and not having it just makes Twitter much less interesting to open.
Does being under autopilot that disengages disable the accelerator? Otherwise, a foot from a disabled driver could have caused the vehicle to continue under power. Obviously Tesla probably has all this telemetry already.
They can still become Uber drivers. Welcome to the YCombinator Economy! :)
I believe nowadays DDoS defense has to be in depth:

- Anycast to divide the attack among different datacenters

- Multiple filtering devices with +10Gbps uplinks at the edge

- Then things like SYNPROXY and this synsanity at the final servers

My point being: I don't think asking how effective is synsanity against larger synfloods is a complete question.
This is the same Steve Jobs who said there would never be an iPod that did video about a year before they did so.

They may have had the app store model planned out from the start for the next version of the iPhone, but didn't want to talk about it when releasing the first version because that would highlight the shortcomings of the existing product and cut into sales. But you still have to have an answer to the question of how you make software for the new product, so they say build web apps.

It's certainly a major fault of Tesla's - if you know it's not safe, you've got no excuse to keep going.

But the driver shouldn't be allowed to escape blame either. When your car is repeatedly telling you that you need to take control, then you should be taking control.

Ask HN: Great resources to learn english language online
Hi guys,
do you know some great (in your opinion) resources to learn English language online?
Aha! The natural English grammar pointer is a nice one... sure enough I now! remember the "natural language syntax" idea ;)

I'm happy too, no doubt... I guess, given how long it already "survived" SQL is quite "successful".
Cheers
Are we going to get amazing Pluto-like images, like that chilling closeup? They really impressed me A LOT. Or is Jupiter close enough for us to already know enough about its surface?
"Human rights, and more specifically due process, are not 'Western', they've just been formulated there."

Not even that. I'm not sure to what do we refer exactly by (western) "human rights". Is it the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? That was not "western", as the United Nations General Assembly, which adopted it, had equal representation of all member nations, including Philippines. Is it something else, something older, like the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, passed somewhere in the French Revolution? Well, we can find less "western" versions before that all over the world and history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_human_rights
When they first took over the first user account, did they post any new images? Or were they able to move quickly enough to take out the webmaster before they got kicked?
Off topic: FarmVille on a satellite connection could let you plant fields on top of each other even though they weren't supposed to intersect. Unintentional vertical farming.
Stopping in 'a winding canyon with no shoulder' seems like a colossally bad idea. Mind you, trusting the badly named autopilot in this situation seems like an even worse idea. Especially if you consider the recent death that EVER Tesla drive must know about at this point. To then overconfidently trust the AP in an already dangerous environment for a human drive seems crazy.
I relate with most of the points, also from my experience with due diligence (bought by the vc from an external consulting company) they cannot say all is good, since if it fails then they could be blamed, they cannot say all is bad otherwise you'd just need to sell once and you prove them wrong, so pretty much the outcome is always in between. That due diligence was really not worth the money spent.

The PCs are just a part of the games industry.
With Oracle's rocky reputation around open source, I'm surprised that VirutalBox is still going strong and under active development. There doesn't seem to be any kind of commercial "enterprise version" that they license for big bucks... what is their incentive for keeping this thing going?

Yes you can "declare war". This will certainly not improve your country (Cf Colombia before, Mexico now).
Note that I'm not even making the argument that killing innocents is wrong, I'm just saying that due process works better, period.
its a bit harder than a double tap... You press and hold. Count to three. Now wait for the car to start blinking and make a shifting noise.

What does that have to do with static analysis of C++ source code? Of course that's difficult, but the quiz is also purposefully made more difficult than it would be in real life.
My point is that it's not as bad as some of the channel islands which have one company director for every two people.

Yes, the jobs need to be done, but those jobs might not be done in Ireland. Hence the Irish government and society is willing to have a low tax rate in order to get those jobs in Ireland (as opposed to USA). People in the USA might want those jobs in USA, but people in Ireland want those jobs in Ireland.

The UK, with it's oodles of "crown dependencies" is a much larger tax haven.

Looking at the recent crash reports (driver watching Harry Potter, driver refusing to take over in winding road), it seems that it is just a matter of time for a news headline about a Tesla crash report with nobody on the front seats and a couple making out on the back seats.
this comes off like such rambling with no real point to it.

I suppose if I had to try and find his points they would be:

* "headphones are bad because they cause us to be isolated"

* "Millennials are seeing themselves as hard done by"

The second point might not be what the author means though, but the former has strong tones throughout the piece.

I do not agree, headphones are a way of having some level of privacy in an increasingly crowded and public world. We are expected to use public transport, for the good of our wallets and the good of the planet. However those public transport machines are especially loud (Bus engines are incredible) and we're beholden to the whim of shitty teenagers playing rap music at 100db from tiny speakers.

This is before I mention the increasingly popular open-office work environments, which put a large number of people in a room together for 8-10 hours every day.

I do not want to hear Debbie finalising that sales call and then talking shit to her colleague about the guy from third.. I want to get my work done and focus. Headphones are the only way to do that in a modern work environment.
That's why Facebook changed their APIs in 2014. Before any app could ask for anything. Now apps can only ask for public profile data, email address and a list of your friends that have also installed the app.

Before you could also get stuff like education and work history, family relationships, relationship status, sexual orientation and a whole load of other stuff that could potentially cause a lot of trouble. And people would happily click OK just to play FarmVille or whatever.

Now Facebook makes it so any app needing advanced permissions data has to be reviewed by Facebook first.
