Re Syria: NATO was bombing in Syria for years and it didn't have (and still doesn't have) any legitimacy to do so - neither by the UN nor by the syrian government. Russia was invited to help by the elected government officials and this has the legitimacy to be there.

https://github.com/google/santa seems like it takes this approach. Gives an enterprise the ability to decide which signed certs it wants to trust and then block everything else unless it gets vetted.
I cannot say that I have. Looks very interesting. Thanks!
We rely heavily on Ansible and your description seems very accurate. I worry we have too much invested at this point to consider anything else. Still would pick it over Chef/Puppet.

Salt does look interesting but it was too young when we started. I don't know if we would be trading Ansible's shortcomings for Salt's.

In the UK we have had guns progressively removed with successive laws slowly disarming the public such that now the only easy thing to get is an air rifle or air pistol. But what is interesting is you can see in the crime and homicide stats how much impact these individual laws have had and how much the homicide rate with guns has changed over 70 years or so.

The shorter answer is that disarming hasn't change the homicide rate with guns at all. That has remained steady and inline with violent crime and crime in general, the amount the populace is armed didn't have any impact. We are told it has but the statistics alas don't lie and we have stats for this going back quite a way. There should be clear and present dips after gun control laws or changes in trajectory but they just aren't there.

I've been collecting emails for 9 months, primarily by spending $3k on Facebook ads to send traffic to blog posts. 1,500 emails so far.

My acquisition process right now is a "call me to sign up" after showing prospects a demo video. Not ideal. I'm working on making the app (filled with a model farm's data) live for users to test for a couple days (gated behind an email opt-in) and then allow them to sign up online. We'll see!
The title is cutting out an important part of my report's story: "Avoiding ISA Bloat with Macro-Op Fusion".

You can still specialize your processor to eke out more performance, but you (often) don't need to change the ISA to do it!

Why add load-pair instructions (like ARMv8 did) when you can simulate the exact same effects using macro-op fusion? And code size doesn't matter, since RISC-V's compressed ISA extension makes RISC-V the densest ISA out there without throwing away performance to get it.
> Now what I don't get, and I'm not trolling here, is why would you want this? Isn't a VM a better option?

If this is indeed close to native performance, you wouldn't get anywhere close to that with a VM. I could be oblivious to some optimization techniques but Linux VM's on Windows have always performed drastically worse than native.

My reading of the article has him accessing the Wiley site using a crawler. He may have sourced the fake DOIs from some other seed document but he didn't actually try to fetch them with a browser.

He states that he accessed the site from the library so that he had access to Wiley online (as part of the Library's access arrangement). And he states that he was building tools for automatically linking documents. (tool, not browser).

That assertion doesn't really make sense. Nanomachines are still theoretically possible but we don't have the technology to really make them shine yet. But hyperloop? Nothing new really needs to be discovered. It's simply an engineering task at this point.

I started https://kernl.us last May and brought it out of beta in January. I've been growing at the rate of around 5 new paying customers a month.

> Maybe it is commentary specifically on the funding of projects in Russia

Definitely this, it's far more likely to be a project to spread the national budget among Putin's cronies than to actually result in anything.
And there is the supply chain argument.. A Drone is basically a flying smartphone. Every new hardware product uses the smartphone supply chain. Imagine the effects of electric car/battery supply chain, one obvious effect is that everything else is going to be electric from buses to boats. We can also see the effects of the battery tech on solar power. Once people can efficiently store the solar energy they produce themselves for days, and even sell it to their neighbors through blockchain.

Pseudoephedrine being made into homemade amphetamines is a different channel than opiates obtained via doctor and pharmacy. You can also get amphetamines that way, as Adderall or Vyvanse. Like opiates, amphetamines net over $10 billion a year and a significant portion are diverted for non-medical use.
Should we start what US taken on the East and how many countries invaded and annexed?

Maybe you're blind not to see that US makes Cuban crisis but in the whole World scale. And those small countries are just pawns which will be 'taken' in the big game.

The more anti-missile systems they put in the Europe, the less chance they will be hit by nukes, but nobody talks about the fate of those Europe countries.

It's the latest US way of dealing with countries growing better or in the same pace as they. They use the tactic of "color revolutions", it worked in many other countries before, so why not use that until the war happens, yea?

Let's build the TODO list of owning other country:

1) Choose any country you are interested in (not the big ones of course, they can hit you, you don't want that)
2) Send your military advisors and boxes of money to support "opposition" of let's say few thousands people (which is a less than 1% of population)
3) Make them start "peaceful protests" in capital and actively cover all those events in media, showing only one side of "tyrant leader"
4) When legal forces of country will start preventing that, call them tyranny and prevent and use sanctions and fear to prevent or even easier, start bombing them util all loyal forces remain (with NATO forces and US allies)
5) Collect your profits, put your own people in government, collect resources and plant military bases in the region. If non 1% of population starts to protest, just use military and police to make them suffer.

This worked in Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Ukraine.

I tried to do research by asking more experienced people in the niche. I've got many conflicting suggestions and advice so I went with my gut feeling. I felt there was some reluctance in the gambling world against subscription model and I felt one time fee would maximize chances to get it going.

As to the cloud vs stand-alone dilemma, the reasons for choosing stand-alone were:

-everyone has a CPU at home and those could be utilized; building CPU heavy infrastructure so people could run it there would be very expensive and I have 0 clue how to go about it; it seems there are no CPU-heavy reasonably priced options on AWS for example (most instances are geared towards network/storage/RAM but there are none which are both decent when it comes to CPU performance and RAM, the ones which are the closest are very expensive)

-people who play for significant money don't trust cloud in general; especially for high stakes players it's important that no one could access their calculations

As to one time fee (and then maybe another for 2.0 version) vs subscription for updates, I feel maybe subscription for updates would be a better model but it was easier to start with something simpler. I had no idea if it's going to take off and I didn't like the idea of very few buyers demanding updates after 6 months or so when it's clear the product flopped (it didn't happen but it could).

It was a difficult decision though. I still don't know if I've got it right but I feel I did (some competition who went with cloud model didn't do as well from what I understand).

Ask HN: Where can I learn about proposing software solutions?
As part of an interview, I have to figure out a solution, then present via an understandable format to technical and non-technical people. The format has to be documentation, and it can have diagrams. I have a solution, but am unsure on how to present it.

Is there a suggested reading or book I can use for ideas? It's something like a Software requirements specification (SRS), but I don't want to make it long (maybe max 1-2 pages), since it's not a complicated solution nor a full blown app.
A couple of years ago I started DataCommandr which was supposed to be an Excel for big data - an easy to use self-service tool for data transformation and analysis: http://conceptoriented.com . Yet, I had to split between several quite different activities: development, marketing, prototyping (it is an innovative product). Eventually, I decided that the process is too slow and with this speed I will never reach the goal. So I decided to re-position the technology: instead of developing a classical WPF desktop application targeted at Excel-like users, I started developing a Java cloud service for in-stream analytics (for IoT). The main goal is to decrease marketing so that the product can sell itself.
I feel like this shouldn't be a dumb question, but here it goes:

So, how come people are purchasing equity without paying any attention to debt?

I understand how different classes of shares may be equivalent in scenarios where a company is successful, but very different if it is failing. I also understand that the market has established a price for 0.01% of a company, and not necessarily a price for a much larger share.

I'm personally a fan of Ubuntu's Unity and I can see the potential in this. I've been using linux for 10+ years and I can't efficiently navigate multiple windows in Windows as easily as under Linux.

Since lot's of mobile devices don't perform as well running Linux as Windows and you want to get the maximum performance out of your device (think battery life), Windows is really you best choice.

In the past, I replaced the windows shell with a couple different BlackBox ports that were compiled for Windows but I was still missing out on all the command line tools so it didn't meet my work flows.

But now that Microsoft let's you run BASH on Windows, I think if I gave it another shot, this setup would work for me but at the moment I don't have any requirements that depend on Windows that would cause me to switch OSs.

tl;dr

RISC-V with C extensions is a bit denser than x86-64 with vector operations disabled, and can execute common operations in slightly less cycles due to macro ops (especially in compare-branch idioms).

So until they add vector extensions to RISC-V, x86-64, though bloated, is still king.

For a long time, I believed that we're better off legalizing all drugs and making them available to anyone who wants to buy them. But I've had a change of heart recently.

People simply aren't in control of themselves when they're addicted to these substances. The crooked doctors, the pain clinics, and all the complicit organizations in the supply chain profit, while millions of people lose their human agency to a chemical that alters their mind and transforms them into irrational drug addicts. It is very difficult for them to recover, and very easy to relapse. It is a human tragedy of enormous proportions. It tears apart families, ruins childhoods, and creates poverty. And at its worst, it takes lives.

We have to take care of our people.

I work on https://www.blabladns.co - a free dynamic dns service with an easy api and many integrations (e.g. Slack, PagerDuty, Messenger, etc.).

Working Solo on it and its not profitably, because there is no paid plan yet. More premium features will cost and will be integrated soon.

Growth? Very slowly with one to two user per week. Probably because I dont do marketing at all (only the blog).
Um, I'm not sure your description of the US Navy's Sevastopol School project is entirely accurate. Here is a 2014 article at RT.com, which certainly cannot be accused of pro-US bias:

https://www.rt.com/news/154180-us-navy-crimea-charity/

The headline: "US Navy cancels charity projects in Crimea". According to the article, the plan was to renovate School #5 in Sevastopol; the US Navy had already paid for the renovation of School #22 in Sevastopol and School #14 in Simferopol. The RT article states that "Russian media and bloggers suspect the programs were meant to butter up locals for a possible US settlement there." But it doesn't suggest that US troops would be posted there; the only US military "presence" would be a commemorative plaque on the renovated building.

Cute idea, but by no means suitable for learning about HTML. It's like proposing to learn some programming language by randomly introducing keywords and functions of the standard library. If you click often enough, you "have seen it all" but still don't understand anything about syntactic markup (or programming in my analogy).
This meant for people who _don't_ think either are "problems". I don't understand the point of your comment.
I'm upvoting this mostly because of the image in the article showing a rendering of the "Puffin," a one-person electric airplane that looks like it was imagined in the 1920's, along with flying cars. It wouldn't look out of place in Fritz Lang's classic scifi movie, "Metropolis."

He had no reason to look in there (no probable cause). It's going on a fishing expedition, and it's the start of the chain of events that leads to the "if you look hard enough, everybody's guilty of something" problem. The law is very clear that under the circumstances, the officer had no right to _compel_ me to let him look. If he had, anything he found as a result of the search would be inadmissible in court. But it's entirely within his right to ask, and if I voluntarily comply, then anything he finds can be used as evidence.

Here's an example with a fairly good discussion about what the police can and can't do, and under what circumstances, during a traffic stop: http://criminal.lawyers.com/traffic-violations/unlawful-vehi...

The problem is that "voluntary compliance" is very slippery (when you think of refusing a cop's request for something like that, do you imagine that there might be retribution? You might -- and if you're not in a relative position of power, it's almost certainly on your mind.) It's therefore easier for some people to assert their rights than for others, and that can lead to very unequal protection under the law.

This is huge, and if you're interested in an issue, these days it's often not all that difficult. The conceit that you can "get informed" by just reading current news is just plain false, and probably has been for as long as there have been newspapers.

These days, we have Wikipedia and the websites of trade journals and magazines of many stripes, and lots of good bloggers, where you can go for backgrounders on a lot of topics which are relevant to public policy. There's often bias, but it's easy to read past that -- read a couple of essays from various viewpoints, read a few other essays by the same authors to get a sense of their level of hysteria, and hey presto, you've got a deeper understanding.

Of course, you do have to put in the time, and you won't be able to do it for every trending topic, but you can do a hell of a lot better than all the news sites put together.

TSO doesn't help your router, sorry. What is TCO? 25% of one core at 100Mbps? How many pps? (This doesn't mean that your limit is 400Mbps per core, far from it.)
> I found it amazing that the OWON folks thought emulating a DDR2 memory in an FPGA was good design.

The SoC has the same kind of memory connected to it, so the memory controller in the SoC is configured for DDR2. And many uCs and SoC don't like it if their address banks are not configured for the same kind of clocking and do weird things otherwise.

For example the STM32F407 (and probably the 205, 207 and 405) truncate the last clock in a transmission toward the fastest clock speed configured in the FSMC banks. That caused quite a bit of trouble in a project. Also it's an undocumented erratum, or at least it was at the time when we had to deal with it.
Shouldn't that be even easier under OS X?
While Amazon does clearly state under the heading you gave that they do track commingled inventory, they do not explain how. It is still possible that doing so presents a 'massive problem' as the previous comment, apparently from an ex-Amazon employee states.

On the face of it, I cannot see how it would present a problem, except for the obvious one of scale. It would be interesting to learn the precise details of how Amazon implements its tracking policy.
