I think the main firewall modification to keep in mind with Docker (swarm mode or not) is that if you publish a port with `--publish`, Docker will pretty much always punch a hole through your existing firewall rules for this port. If you don't want this, simply don't use `--publish` (or the equivalent through the Docker API). Container-to-container communication should be done using containers on the same `docker network` (generally, 'overlay' driver) and should not require exposing ports to the host directly.
Interactive Brokers can be used as well (I have heard Oanda's fills are not as good as Interactive Brokers). I am looking to see if anyone has actually setup a profitable system.

My Macbook Pro 17in got so hot I ended up buying an external keyboard. No actual temperature measurements because it was a work machine I gladly gave back, but given that people often tell me I have "asbestos fingers" I'm certainly not too sensitive.

First iPad (I still have one) became a paperweight pretty fast, partly due to the small amount of RAM, but also because the last version of iOS that runs on it has a seriously buggy version of Safari. It will suddenly quit in something JavaScript-related, I know not what. Reasonably well attested on various support forums.

I still swear by my Mac desktops - the mini is a marvel - and would be wary of drawing any greater narrative, but I've certainly had some duds recently.
There are markets, and then there are prediction markets. The two are not quite the same thing.

There are a lot of assumptions in your argument, like the number of participants in a prediction market being meaningfully higher and meaningfully more interested than actual project stakeholders. You're also assuming that such people are less biased and more neutral than other people who have to suffer office politics. Everyone has mental baggage and taking part in a "market" doesn't change that.

You're broadening / redirecting that definition. One can have violent feelings or reactions to something, such as someone suffering PTSD, mental breakdown, emotional reaction to medicine. But one can't just claim that words that they don't like spoken by someone are violence committed on them. At that point you get into the "you're raping me with your thoughts" and that's just irrationality. If one were irrational words will no longer retain meaning anyway.
$1000 for the bug bounty? This is incredibly stupid! How can you make a living off that? You could make hundreds of thousands of US$ from exploiting this. You could sell it on the black market. I am surprised that most of the corporations, even respectable ones, are awarding peanuts for something that is so important to their business process. This makes my blood boil. I operate a small business website and I awarded $3k just because someone found a way to brute force passwords without getting rate limited. This is quite simply unacceptable.

I think the company should have paid $100,000.
This quote from Jony Ive really made me feel for the guy:

“When you’re doing something for the first time, you don’t know it’s going to work. You spend seven or eight years working on something, and then it’s copied. I have to be honest, the first thing I can think, all those weekends that I could have at home with my family but didn’t. I think it’s theft, and it’s lazy.”

Well, yes, when interest rates are manipulated to control inflation, the latter becomes more stable and the latter becomes less stable.

This is not surprising, its obvious. I'm kind of baffled by the implied premise that stable interest rates are preferable to stable inflation, though.

Currently Android Java is a mixture of Java 6, 7 and 8, doesn't implement 100% of any of those versions, which fails the Java TCK with a glorious score.

Mayn't or aren't? Do you mean that,

Because if there's someone who thinks it's valuable, then there's someone who's willing to accept it as collateral.
This guy speaks for me. I read this piece thinking that all the reasons he thinks Twitter sucks (minus the harassment issue) are all the reasons I like it.

You have to manage Facebook. Twitter is just a way to convey thoughts and ideas, occasionally with things turning into a discussion. That is an important service with a definite need that Facebook has never filled.
Bill is wrong. Twitter's revenue per user is quite good. Their problem is that user growth is poor. They can't get enough users to meet their goals. Joi was correct that focusing on users first was the correct decision. They just haven't been able to execute on that goal as well as they hoped for.

You're right, but it does show an endemic lack of respect for the concept of free speech.
I too don't understand the rationale for this process having taken place in public.

All allegations of sexual abuse make third-parties confront a web of trust problem. Since the facts are most often not independently verifiable, there is little else for anyone to do than to evaluate who they trust more.

These days we are told this is best performed by taking the accuser's statements as-is, and refrain from interactive cross-examination and questioning the accuser's motives and behavior, as having our opinions swayed by such information can be construed as victim blaming, which we'd want to avoid. What I find puzzling is at the same time, we're encouraged to confront the accused, which further perpetuates an information asymmetry.

This process is awful for everyone involved, but doubly so for the actual victim, who faces an uphill battle to convince everyone that the abuse indeed took place. In this (and other) cases, the presence of multiple, independent accounts of abuse by the same perpetrator sways a rational actor's trust towards the accusers. The same may not have been true with just one report.

By going public, we have all been made third-parties forced to derive our own judgments about who to trust, but we're also not all stakeholders and don't participate in the same social circles as the people involved. Specifically, if a criminal investigation isn't desired, the discourse should take place within the affected social circles, as there is no compelling public interest to know that the alleged abuser is indeed an abuser. If, on the other hand, there is a compelling public interest, the justice system provides a better venue for the public -- us being the new parties to this discourse -- than simply making public statements.
This Is the Enormous Gigafactory, Where Tesla Will Build Its Future
Also keep in mind the dot-com bust that left a whole lot of second hand x86 hardware floating around. What got Linux a server foothold was the L in LAMP.

Never mind that MS have always fought dirty. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish is perhaps the unofficial company motto. Keep in mind that Active Directory is built on top of open protocols like DNS and Kerberos. But with enough MS "quirks" to make interoperability a chore.

Similarly, MS Office will happily support other file formats as inputs, but output will always have MS "quirks".

On the hardware side you had questionable contracts that meant MS got paid no matter the OS installed, or deep discounts that only applied if companies only shipped Windows pre-installed.

Damn it, they basically choked the life out of Netbooks by putting a very stringent license on Windows XP (that until then they had tried to kill off in favor of Vista) that detailed the hardware it could be run on. almost over night the Netbooks turned into carbon copies, where before each company had been playing with their own designs (Intel bringing out a ATOM package deal that fit the license perfectly likely contributed).
I have heard a “Trump probably did something equally bad, but we may not know” argument once when discussing Hillary Clinton's involvement in drone assasinations. I immediately pointed out that it is speculation at best, unless backed up by evidence.

It is hard to write code that parses URLs, period.

You can't look at regexs in isolation, see that a task is hard, then declare them unfit. You have to consider them as one of the many choices and analyze the cost/benefits of the whole suite of options.

I guarantee you that anyone who has said "Oh, gosh, this is hard, I'll just start using indexOf and substring operations" has written code that is just as broken, only in ways much harder to tell.

Which is probably why everyone here thinks it's better to not use regex. You didn't write better code... you wrote code that hid its brokenness better. That's not a good thing!

Again, my real point here is not "regexes are awesome in every way"... my point is that I literally glanced at that code and saw several ways in which it was wrong. Does your alternative have that property?

Also, some of the difficulties of regexes are accidental, not essential. Take something like the recent Perl 6 efforts for parsing and you're far better off in every way using that stuff than trying to bash together string-manipulation-based parsing, or whatever other alternatives you may be thinking of. The Perl 6 constructs will be more readable and more maintainable. (Perl 6 is crazy in a lot of ways but the parsing support is best-of-breed.)
Your thought process was, "I'm in good shape, my car is paid off and I'm living with my parents?"
I'll bite on the Twitter 2.0 comment.

In some sense, I see the descriptions he made in Snapchat. The ability to consume content from where ever I choose, but my ability to reach out and converse with people who create content is limited by their desire to create a 1:1 connection with me. I wasn't a big fan of Snapchat when it first came out, but over time it has interested me with some of the decisions that they have made to really make the product about consuming moments that are personal to me, as well as interesting to me.

It seems they're pushing one of the differences which is that this doesn't sync to a folder on your computer. The files only live in the cloud.

My bet for carbon-neutral aviation is not batteries, it's synthetic hydrocarbon fuels.

> What does Samsung have to differentiate itself? A logo?

As a practical matter, I like that models from Samsung/LG/Mot/etc have a large installed base of users (vs no-name or lower tier Android manufacturers). I think a corollary to Linus' Law should be "Given enough users, all bugs are easily discovered." If there were a low-end brand of Android phones that had a large amount of share, I'd probably consider them instead. (or is there one already?)

At current levels of consumption (which includes much more than food) we are beyond carrying capacity of the planet. Technology may eventually make this a false statement but it currently isn't false.

But this has ALWAYS been true. You haven't given any reason to think differently.

There is much more to living than just food. ... People shit, pollute, destroy, and consume.

Exactly. Yet we've invented sanitation. And if you look at the trends, our higher standard of living has given us the luxury to curtail the pollution and destruction. America's air and water is MUCH cleaner now than it was when I was growing up (just as the Clean Air Act was getting started).

Thanks to smart scientists and engineers, we've learned new ways to do things that that are far more environmentally friendly.

In a way you're right. The problems will never be entirely fixed, because nothing is infinite. But a very long history shows that while we're always on the brink of destruction, we're also always on the brink of brilliant new insights that break us through those barriers.

The source of those brilliant insights is the minds of the people. Calling for drastic reductions in birth rates would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs: innovation is what's going to keep saving our butts.

Ok, I see you were being sarcastic, saying that what happens in my hometown has no relevance. I guess you didn't read the rest of my comment...as well as my personal anecdote (which was probably bad to put on HN), I put actual science.

If you look at the data for New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and various other cities across the US, you'll see that temperatures have been exactly average for June and July.

So, I'm just wondering where this data came from, and why it is difference from the actual recorded temperatures. Is it because it is satellite data? If so, why does it differ?

In typical HN fashion this is a press release rather than an actual scientific article.

Just to clarify, I'm not a climate change denier. However scare articles with no science behind them do more harm than good (if that is what this is).

EDIT here is where the data comes from:

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201606

I guess a small amount above average temperatures just isn't noticeable in the average temperature graphs.

> However, as a game developer with Free-To-Play development PTSD, I think this rule rests on an implied-but-important condition: People are already using and loving the service.

No, that's exactly not what I'm saying. Uber did just fine starting as a pay service as do a great many games, Netflix, HBO, Amazon, etc.

> Imagine that some shiny new app called Spark launches tomorrow and vaguely promises to be Twitter 2.0, well no one would be willing to jump on unless it was free.

Right--that's because Twitter 2.0 is also fucked from the beginning: they don't have something users would pay for any more than Twitter 1.0 did.

> Even $1 a month is too much for us short-attention-spanned smartphone users, as the total shift to F2P games on mobile has shown us. Nothing outside of Minecraft is in the top 100 grossing apps on Android nor iOS.

F2P is basically just an advertising strategy; I'd count that as having something people are willing to pay for, because they're willing to pay for in-game purchases or premium experience subscriptions.

> Perhaps the answer lies in starting free, getting people hooked, and then easing in a subscription fee? This would also come across as a bait-and-switch, as you said, and some users would inevitably flock to the next free clone.

I guess I wasn't clear about this, but I think a bait-and-switch business strategy will work fine if you have something people value enough to pay for. It's kind of pointless, though, IMHO, because it doesn't fail fast: if it turns out you aren't providing people anything they value, then you won't find that out until you get to the "switch" part.

Ultimately, I think the bait-and-switch strategy is just a way to extract money from VCs and offload risk onto them without having to prove your value proposition, but that comes at some significant cost. If I were a VC I'd probably want to invest to build something and then release it for pay up front--that saves the cost of implementing the bait-and-switch strategy.

> Ultimately, and unfortunately, I don't think there's an easy answer to monetization anywhere...

The answer is "provide value that people are willing to pay for", but I agree that's not an easy answer. :)

I disagree with the author because I've seen much more hostile content on Facebook, which doesn't exhibit any of the author's identified causes.

I also think John De Goes doesn't mention the elephant in the room with which he got burned, the last LandaConf along their policy and handling of the created situation. And far from me to judge that situation in this comment, but I find his judgment compromised, to say the least, if not disingenuous.

As for some of his claims, I'm actually glad that Twitter doesn't filter my content. I DO NOT want any more filter bubbles. I actually want the people I respect to show me their religion and political beliefs. In fact I want disagreeing opinions, even if painful, because that's how I learn. I'm a tolerant kind of guy and I want to see the world for what it is. And if I can't tolerate somebody, then I'm not interested about his work or jokes either.
I wish the article had some more historical treatment of fascism. It starts with nazi germany and WWII, but fascism started earlier in Germany, going back at least as far as the "Pan-German League" (1891-1939), who essentially laid the ideological foundation on which almost all modern rightists build their theories.

EDIT: Make my point clearer.
