Thank you for this well-written answer :).
Don't modern high performance network cards have multiple tx/rx queues which are virtualizable via IOMMU?

That's a genuine question BTW, I've only a bit of experience with userspace networking with fully cooperating processes.
Eventually #3 applies to upvotes too (I'm not sure what the time-frame is).
What's never discussed is HN's "voting hellban". That is, you are permitted to upvote/downvote, but your votes don't ever actually count. This is the case with my account, but it's never discussed or documented anywhere.
That would all be true, except for the greying-out thing. Its quite a bit different to downvote, particularly as an early responder. It can make disagreement appear as disapproval.

The DoL counts Discouraged Workers, which is a better way of assessing what you're talking about than teasing it out of the participation rate. It also counts those who are part-time involuntarily, which I feel is pretty important.

Redistribution: Blocking the Revenge of the Nerds?
Exactly. GPS is by far an easier way of synchronizing clocks to an atomic reference compared to any master-slave networked approach, especially in situations where we're talking about a small number of stationary, expensive servers which are far apart.

PTP is mainly useful for situations where you want to synchronize many cheaper slave devices to a common master and it's not practical for each device to have its own GPS receiver, or for situations where the use of GPS isn't practical (or is prohibited) and you're more concerned about coherency between devices rather than traceability to a primary time reference (e.g. a telemetry network on an aircraft). Although, generally, the grand master of a PTP network is synchronized to GPS anyway.

Of course, you could achieve actual phase locked synchronization down to the clock cycle with something like SyncE + PTP, but with GPS, you need not worry about issues with asymmetry regarding messages transmitted over the internet (PTP needs to be routed through PTP capable switches which compensate for the residence time and was really meant for LANs).

I guess it really depends on your constraints, but if you’re able to use GPS, that would definitely be my first pick when it comes to synchronizing multiple devices.

The latest UBlox timing receiver (LEA-M8F) provides a PPS which is accurate to less than 20 nanoseconds (to the UTC second) and its built in oscillator has a typical holdover spec of 0.025 PPM (25 nanoseconds per second). If you want to get fancy, you can use the PPS to discipline an OCXO and get an even better holdover spec to handle the situations where your receiver may lose lock (which is unlikely if you’re able to have an antenna).

Basically, the accuracy of the UBlox GPS receivers (just an example since they're pretty cheap; I found a board for ~$150), is equal to or better than that of a usual PTP link (without SyncE), so you might as well just use GPS on each device if you can. It is simpler, IMO.

However, note that comparing GPS to PTP isn't necessarily valid since PTP is purely a method of conveying timing information between devices, and is not a time source itself, where as GPS is both a method of conveying timing information as well as a time source. In other words, a PTP network still needs a master device which itself is synchronized to (or is) an atomic clock.
and that's actually one of the primary problems with the bay area. The peninsula's refusal to densify due to NIMBYism is creating all this pressure on the rest of the area's housing supply.
In addition to the other comments, by only needing to write frontend code you can also host your website much cheaper and scalably (via something like amazon S3 & CDN). You'd pay more like several pennies for 100's of users (ignoring any scaling costs w/ Firebase) rather than a min of ~$10/mo.
I'm not exactly thrilled about the fork either, but I'm happy to support it for the sake of the community.

Added in edit: Assuming it's not possible to change advisor ...

You have to make a decision: Quit, or take control of your own education and finish.

You will need your supervisor to deal with the administrative aspects of your degree, so you can't avoid him entirely. However, you can limit your contact with him to that role alone. However, you will need someone to supervise your academic requirements.

So you need to find someone with whom you can talk about your work, and possibly with whom you can collaborate. A supervisor suggests problems to work on, suggests material to read and understand, monitors that you're working hard enough, checks on your progress, and if your progress isn't adequate, suggests modifications to the current schedule/scheme of work.

You will need to do almost all of that yourself, or find someone else to collaborate with to accomplish those academic aspects. But it can be done, and if you succeed it becomes a major, major accomplishment on your CV.

But you really need to take control.

Or quit.
> But hyperloop? Nothing new really needs to be discovered.

This isn't true.

The concept of a moving load travelling over the rayleigh wave speed on heterogeneous soils is something that's very new, very problematic, and very expensive to deal with.

Let's put it this way: the french currently hold the conventional high-speed railway speed record for just bellow 600km/h, and yet they are only able to operate their TGV trains on the record-breaking track at 320km/h. They can't push it any faster due to all the maintenance problems caused by very high speed travel, although SNCF is one of the leading rail companies and the track is brand new.

If there were no technical issues to be resolved, they wouldn't be capping their circulation speeds at around half their speed record.

This is one of the many technical issues. But then there are the multitude of economic problems which hyperloop is entirely unable to offer any solution, yet alone make a case.

Strapping a rocket on a short stretch of track is not a technical solution. It's just a marketing trick.

> I'd speculate that the big one is letting people battle each other with the pokemon they've collected.

I haven't played Pokemon Go, but if you can't do this, what exactly are people doing in the game? Just collecting Pokemon and doing nothing with them? Honest question -- I had implicitly assumed being able to battle with collected Pokemon was the whole point.

I just got personal email from someone at Uber.

They explained to me that they comply with Can Spam by... providing unsubscribe link. Nothing mentioned how I got on their list in the first place, on what their practice are. Clearly my email must have been scrapped from public sites, since I never did sign with them in the first place.

So yeah if they don't even know the rules of Can Spam, how the heck you expect them to follow the law?

I will have a short call with Attorney General in my State end of this week to see if I am a separate incident.
When people again tolerate box-like, not-flat, computer monitors. The trick requires an off-axis camera and that requires a mirror tilted at 45*, creating a device slightly thicker than it is tall. There are some tricks (stepped mirrors etc) that might reduce that depth, but to do so without distortion would be difficult.

I'm not sure that a camera hidden inside the screen would work. Getting that 'intimate' effect requires the subject to look directly at the camera lens as they would at another person's eyes. So any camera hidden inside a monitor would have to be aligned with the eyes/face of the image, a problem on larger screens. This is why the technique works best with small screens and probably isn't workable on larger screens or screens situated too close to the subject.

> I don't have many references because, I'm in graduate school.

You don't need the bad advisor, move on. References are completely over-rated. Still, companies ask for references as some sort of social proof. Curate an alternate list of 3-5 individuals, (old supervisors, employers, senior colleagues, club officers, etc...) these are people who can vouch for you and the quality of your work.

If some one asks specifically for your advisor contact, be candid-- 'we didn't have much of a relationship and don't think he is best placed to comment on my abilities'.

Well, the advice to "write every day" is usually accompanied by other advice as well.

Something like: even if it is just a little bit before bed, or a little bit here or there.

The author seems to think it needs to be a lot, but I think part of the idea is:

1. You can write just a little bit, and that is okay.

2. Once you get started, you tend to keep going.

3. Finding the space, setting up the computer, getting your fingers on the keyboard and starting to type is a large barrier so once you overcome that you keep going.

4. There is built in gamification in terms of how many days you can go without breaking the chain. In that context, even typing in one line on your mobile can count.

5. Your unconscious will work on the idea if you are aware of it, even if you aren't actively working.

I'm not saying all of these are true (though I believe in the first 4 at least), I'm saying that the advice is usually part of a whole workflow and view of the writing process.
Note: take the following with all the grains of salt you take when reading any pedantry...just soapboxy but not meant to be too tone-policing.

I personally prefer headings for the purpose of signaling the main topics of an essay...the main headline, of course, but then the "deck" (usually what would go into the webpage's meta description), and then subsections. The headings do double-duty -- emphasizing key points and visually separating sections -- without adding too much gratuitous weight.

Keep in mind that you can use physical priority to signal emphasis. The first few words of any paragraph are likely to be noticed by a skimmer, so adding extra weight to the type can be redundant. IMHO, this also applies to the closing words of a paragraph.

Also, in-paragraph hyperlinks also serve as a kind of emphasis (while providing useful outbound references). In your current style sheet, hyperlinks are underlined. Again, everyone sees things differently, but I personally notice hyperlinked text and mentally treat it as "kind of important", particularly for proper nouns and keywords (e.g. "New Relic" and "Nagios")

Here's a sample graf of yours with how you emphasized it:

> I’d say that the most difficult ones were the first few weeks. After that period I’ve known pretty much everything in terms of the project structure that I will be following. Once I’ve established my design patterns it literally became a no-brainer to create new __Watchers__ or __Integrations__. I’ve also made it quite easy to create your own extensions which is described __here__ and plug into the overall pipeline seamlessly. The key was to design the very simple interfaces and let the other part of the framework do the heavy lifting.

I don't think anything in that graf needs to be emphasized (the hyperlinks are fine). The first sentence speaks for itself. The last sentence, if you feel it's important enough, could be its own standalone graf.

Again, treat these as the curmudgeony suggestions of someone who still subscribes to a print newspaper. But I felt your otherwise great essay was unfairly maligned by commenters...but I could sympathize with them. Your words speak well enough on their own, no need to add the CSS equivalent of exclamation marks so frequently :)
No, I'm saying that the current governing structure of the EU is a hack to get around constitutional restrictions.

Everything the EU does can be done without these hacks (one alternative would be to negotiate acceptance of the directive as individual treaties), but the governing structure streamlines what would otherwise cause a whole lot more bureaucratic hassle by having created a legislative process which isn't really a legislative process, except that the member states have committed to taking the output (the Directives) and implementing them into law. This ensures that no legal delegation of sovereignty needs to be done, because national parliaments can choose to say no. There would be consequences, but they have the right to.

It also, despite the many flaws in how it is done, delegates some of this decision-making authority to the EU Parliament, something which is only possible because they're involved in deciding on Directives, not laws, because there is no legal basis for them to legislate. Even so, this involvement is limited because there is also no legal basis for Parliament to exercise the executive powers of the member states that is used by to actually bind the member states under the relevant treaties.

I don't think anyone (other than lawyers making money advising on it, perhaps) actually likes the current system. But it sort-of works, and the poblem with trying to reform it is that people dislike it for diametrically opposing reasons: Some wants a federation, some wants powers pulled back. So it's one of those compromise that makes everyone equally miserable.
Company in a Box: What Does It Cost to Run a Barebones Company?
«This fork, if it happens, will be proof that Ethereum is far behind bitcoin in terms of decentralization.»

Wouldn't a fork imply more decentralization? Multiple active forks would imply multiple actors working to their own agendas towards different objectives/goals and no central fiat to realign their interests. That would certainly sound more decentralized to me. (The block size tangle and the inability for Bitcoin to fork recently to deal with that almost certainly sounded like a power/political centralization problem to this lay observer from what I was reading, but I've managed to stay somewhat unfamiliar with much of the technical nuance.)

It seems to me like a truly decentralized system would likely be prone to forking. The issue should likely not be whether the system can fork (and how difficult it might be), but how the system handles forks when it does fork.

(This is the "DVCS criteria": a DVCS must realize that merges must be common and handle sometimes heavily divergent forks well and with grace, otherwise it is a bad DVCS that users will hate.)
Escolar is generally not a problem if you limit portion size, so calling the fish "toxic" is a little bit overblown. It is a very tasty fish, to be honest.

The problem here is that the labeling is poor. It's too often called "white tuna" in American sushi restaurants (as the article implies), for I guess marketing reasons. And there's no warning about potential gastrointestinal difficulties.

From what I can Google, sushi restaurants are incredibly bad about mislabeling fish. (We all know that "wasabi" is usually green dyed horseradish, too. :) )
CIM Mobility for NativeScript Success Story
Axle counters are "positive only" systems e.g. if the numbers don't match or the counter resets, it will report an error and the next train needs a special safety order to enter the track section. So if you manage to combine a 256 axle train, it will just slow down everything on its way and cause chaos, but no accidents.

In the old times there was a manned caboose car at the end which job was to ensure the completeness of the train (and that switches are cleared).

Here's an example of such an SBB car decommissioned some centuries ago http://www.bahnbilder.de/bilder/gueterwagen-266906.jpg

There's boatloads of value in a decentralized block chain approach to legal organizations.... What's amazing here is the ethereal guys are forging new territory for truly global and potentially leaderless commerce.

What's unfortunate is that it's taking the form of a dystopia. Instead of realizing that humans are a factor of the equation, and people doing business in God faith... We're entering a ruthless period where anything goes, and because it's all anonymous no one feels bad about it.

There's crazy potential in the ideas here, but it's way too Wild West.
Could you elaborate more?
> If you're doing the same thing the kernel would be doing, the userspace process should be strictly slower due to context switches.

Actually, you would cut down on context switches as you ship packets between kernel and user-space. This allows you to do all kinds of intelligent filtering and other header processing that can vastly improve latency in gateway systems (proxies, routers, VM hosts, etc.)
Thank you for your explanation. It was helpful on understanding your motion towards upvoting and downvoting. I upvoted it, and am now explaining you why, because I think this is how we should justify ourselves.

I kind of agree on you downvoting my comment for being off-topic, but is it really? I think I tried to bring something to this discussion, although not necessarily answering the OP question. Anyway, it's up to the individual but I think we shouldn't be that closed. Otherwise this would be solely a Q/A forum.

Regarding the downvotes, I was already aware of that, and was expecting them. I don't care much about the 'karma' thing and am now actually thrilled to see the outcome of this experiment. I give much more value to an answer like yours, as I can learn with it, than the whole point system really. Thanks!
