A fascinating read, I recently started dating someone who is Hungarian, I'm British (subtype: English, subsubtype: Yorkshireman) and I've really enjoyed the cultural differences between dating someone from my own culture and someone from hers.

Did lead to the the strangest complement I've ever ever received - "You are the least English Englishman I've ever met"
Which means we are on the right track towards standard science fiction "power packs," which notoriously double as improvised bombs.
"I like bikes, but they are not more "people-y" than cars"

I disagree. Consider these:

- Cyclists, like pedestrians, are outside. Car drivers sit inside, shielded by metal and, possibly dark, windows.

- Pedestrians and cyclists look each other in the eye way more than happens between car drivers and pedestrians/cyclists.

- The distance between cyclists passing each other is a meter; for car drivers, it is 3 meters or more.

- A cyclist sharing space with pedestrians can and will disembark and start walking if the space gets too busy; a car driver cannot and will not.

Compared to the difference between car drivers and cyclists, the difference between cyclists and pedestrians is minute.

I use deb-s3[1] which is sort of like this, but handles uploading the package and updating the Packages index in a single step. deb-s3 can also sign your Release file so apt won't complain about unsigned packages.

The post mentioned deb-s3 and dismissed it as more complicated to setup than this solution. While the lambda solution is neat, I'm not sure I would describe it as simple. For now I think I'll stick with deb-s3.

NixOS generates a FHS compliant chroot for steam to be installed to, so it can do whatever it wants in that playground.
I think it should be pretty obvious why people put things into containers :-)

Few main points though, which pushed me making this Docker container:

1. I want to set-up more fences when running the code I don't/can't trust;

2. I don't want to spend time on figuring out how to install Steam (what deps) in a non-Debian (or non-SteamOS) based distro;

3. I like cleanliness: I can erase Steam and all its dependencies in a matter of seconds;

4. Like you said, it was an interesting exercise and it still needs some polishing :-)

And few Pros from my PoV:

- I can have Steam on my Ubuntu/openSUSE/[put any other distro I will want to use] in a short time that Docker takes when downloads this Steam container;

- Since Steam is meant to run in Debian (SteamOS) based distro, it is not a problem anymore, since it is in a container now.

I'm interested because linux distros not named "Ubuntu" have varying difficulties running steam. The distributions with smaller communities often will figure out how to do it, and then shortly a steam update breaks it. Or 32-bit games work but not 64, or vice-versa. Or ...
Chicago's transit system is top five because the rest of North American is terrible - not because it's a wonderful system. It's designed to move people between one central work district (the loop) and their neighborhood or suburb. That's it. It can't be compared to systems like NYC, London, Paris, Barcelona etc. To be fair, Chicago, while populous, only has a few neighborhoods that match the density of those cities, making light urban rail in particular much less feasible.

When I lived carless in Chicago (2001 - 2006) it was only possible if you were childless and lived in a small number of densely populated north side neighborhoods (which does not include Hyde Park). Interestingly, the car sharing services are changing this — cabs generally avoided anything but same wealthy, dense neighborhoods. Uber and Lyft serve much more broadly. Anecdotally, in my neighborhood, the number of cars with a Lyft or Uber sign is astronomical - I once counted traffic for 30 minutes and 43% of vehicles that passed my residence had a car sharing sign in the window.

Between long-haul, low-friction car hiring services (Zipcar) and short-trip, low-friction car hiring services (Uber, Lyft) I think carless urban life in Chicago is vastly extended to everyone with a good paycheck and no children.

>> All you have to do is shift city taxation towards taxing parking more

And that's exactly what's wrong with this idea: in a democratic society such taxation changes would be temoporary at best - people would just vote for politicians that would change it back during the next elections.

On the other hand, gradualy increasing quality of public transportation by investing more money in it would be something that noone would protest against, and once public transportation is equaly or more convenient than car travel people would switch on their own.
So, this way be dragons but... You could just have a small Javascript or Python wrapper that simply calls out to Aptly. As long as you compile Aptly for the right target you can bundle it up in the zip that your ship to Lambda. Since it's Go it'll just run. Then your wrapper just takes care of calling Aptly with the right arguments depending on what event got sent from S3.

Thanks for linking to your old comment, it's pretty insightful. I agree that we seem to be accumulating technological advances faster than we're maturing as a civilization to handle them.
@tormeh look at a Docker just like at a system that gets you the images (in "tar" archives) from the Docker Hub repo (or build them by yourself) and lets you run these "tar" images by leveraging the cgroups (Linux kernel abstraction feature that limits, isolates resource usage of a process). You may basically look at a Docker like at "chroot-on-steroids".
And yes, it helps to run the images wherever you have Docker installed. There are few limitations though, especially when it comes to the point one needs to pass something from the host into a container (e.g. driver libraries, devices, special system paths or environment variables), since they may differ from distro to distro, from Platform to Platform.

> what's missing from the online dating experience?

There are lots of interesting machine learning or other features that smart people could come up with to better group people who have similar personalities or are interested in common things, but I think they'd all be missing the main point of dating. How much stuff you have in common or whether you share a couple of personality traits are nice to have but really don't matter. It all still comes down to attraction.

Don't take that hipster vegan socialist seriously online who swears they won't date a Trump-loving meat eater. If there's attraction there, they won't care about their nonsensical list of "must-haves".

Rule #1: be attractive. If you think you're not attractive: shut up and lift and work on your life so you get towards making yourself more attractive. Don't let any dang folks spin you the politically correct Disney version of reality that you just haven't met the right person yet or some other nonsense.

From this regard, the core of Tinder is probably the closest to accurately quantifying the real human experience, though the number of spammers and bots on there make it not really worth the time.

It is very easy to make an argument that IDA Pro is so fantastically underpriced that it has killed the market for these kinds of tools by setting a bad price point.

I'm sure there are tons of random people on HN that would love to learn more about RE by tinkering with tools like this, or maybe even that have $50 worth of work to throw at it. But in the real world, most of the market for IDA Pro is made by consultants and in-house security teams, all of whom realize something far closer to $100,000 in value from IDA, annually, than $3999.

Meanwhile, if you want to sell a reversing tool that integrates with IDA --- something like BinNavi or BinDiff --- you have to cope with IDA's $3999 price point. Whatever you sell will inevitably have to be cheaper than that. Result: most of the product talent in this space goes to appliances that sell for $50,000 a pop and only to companies that will buy 6+ boxes in a pilot.

Binary Ninja is cheap. But it's also a labor of love.
Yeah, one of the points which pushed me creating this image!

I have tested HL engine based games and CS:GO which has its csgo_linux64 binary, causing lots of people to complain they could not run it, since Steam itself is 32-bit one.
With this image it is not a problem, since I am preloading all the necessary libraries. It, though, still needs some polishing... @all: I appreciate your advice / PR !
> Like gp, I also think Uber is pursuing the more ambitious goal of generalized logistics rather than just replacing taxis in cities.

I don't deny that. My question was, why would one be so sure that Uber will be successful with that? So far, they haven't demonstrated their expertise in this task (taxi matching is trivial compared with a general peer-to-peer delivery mesh), and putting a lot of investor-backed manpower behind it is not a guarantee. Consider Google or Microsoft, two hugely successful companies, which failed at entering important new markets (social networks resp. mobile devices), and Uber is far from being "hugely successful".

Yes? (Not the OP)

The image build instructions are pretty easy to audit. And I trust docker (to an extent).

So in my mind it's safer, but not absolutely safe. I just view it as another layer of security :)
Exactly what I was wondeirng. Can one really speak of a need for HTTP2 rather than a yearning desire, at most?
Yet another book recommendation:

Terre en fuite (Fleeing Earth) (1960) by François Bordes (pen name Francis Carsac), though, there is still no translation in english of that gem, where Earth and Venus was converted to spaceships for running away from exploding Sun!
I actually prefer using the containers. It's easily repeatable anywhere I can run docker (doesn't have to be AWS). I can also avoid any race conditions by checking to see if the task is already running.

(And in general I'm not a fan of trying to do a lot in lambda. I like it a lot more as a glue layer / event handler).

A great read, thanks for digging this up.

One thing that struck me was the comment that

>>> Unlike operating systems before and since, CP/M was not the result of years of research by a team of software engineers.

To me, 1997 seems like it was still the tail end of the microcomputer era, when such things were considered possible (and some of the microcomputer-era diversity remained -- that was the era of BeOS, for example). Today, there seems to be active antipathy to solo coders in many professional settings. I feel something has been lost.
These are bogus arguments that sound reasonable in the absence of a relevant comparison but are all flimsy and uninformed upon inspection.

For example, by what definition would this not be 'safe'? Do you mean in comparison to Firefox's defaults, which enable profoundly privacy-invasive tracking, hide the contents of the cookie management dialog box, and enable the delivery of malvertising at will by visiting "safe" websites - just to name a few?

MitM positions exist on the internet for all users today, both for HTTP and in the situation of "new HTTPS bugs". So you point out risks taken when using the internet in general, and the Tor Browser Bundle already mitigates many of those risks via NoScript and various patches. I've used Tor Browser Bundle daily for all purposes - including online banking and shopping - for several years with zero problems. Malicious exits exist and get flagged out of the network rapidly. Essentially all remaining risk is trivially defeated by toggling the 'block all unencrypted requests' pref in HTTPSEverywhere, which is part of the Tor Browser Bundle and could be built into an implementation in Firefox with a warning for HTTP traffic.

And you're probably thinking of 2009-era Tor network experience. For me, Tor network performance routinely boils down to ~200ms additional latency with ~1.5-2MB/s download speeds. The difference between that and an average broadband connection is barely noticeable.

I recommend using the Tor network and the Tor Browser Bundle before criticizing this idea.
Yes, anybody who runs a large site and gets far better performance out of it for the majority by now of clients who support it.
This thread is not about to what extent I trust things.

But security-wise, running it in a container is better, than running it without isolation. IMHO.

And of course, no one asks getting this image built by the 3rd party, since the Dockerfile is open, just build it yourself ;-)
A minor program note: the blog says that a native Linux version is coming soon. However, the Windows version runs perfectly for me using Wine 1.8 on Ubuntu 16.04. There's no need to wait.

Sure, my experience is that a bank will always ask for some sort of security with old fashioned loans, but I can't pretend I know what kind of deals would a billion dollar company get. But even if personal liability isn't on the line, things like having the bank seize your assets if you can't repay would still be an undesirable liability.

As for the bank owning shares, sure if you default they'll take over whatever they can get, as far as the contract goes, but it's not the same kind of deal. VCs or angels effectively buy shares to sell them later at a higher price, whereas the bank is just lending money and hoping to see it back with interests; the bank may take over ownership of the company if it goes bankrupt but it's not like they'd be able to sell it for much profit, if any at all.

In some markets they tend not to do repairs, in some they do.

If you were being generous you could argue that landlords lose another 10% of the rent to repairs.

That still leaves a big fat 80% slice of the rents coming in which is free money.

In addition to making surrounding streets no-parking perhaps there should be some assurance of public transit nearby? If not, no one is going to rent or buy in that location -- if they can't have cars and they can't use transit easily, then the location becomes unattractive. Question is -- can the local government ensure that?

I think one thing everyone is missing is that having the freedom to have cars has an economic benefit that is not easily factored in otherwise. Like in this example, if the location makes in more difficult to have cars, then it's likely that the rents here will have to be lower to attract people. Or in the other example where someone was car-less in Chicago's Hyde Park area -- over a period of time he seems to have optimized to reduce going out because it was a chore. Maybe that is a good thing in the long run :-), but it sort of indicates depressed economic benefits for everyone.
Start charging for privilege of driving / parking / owning a car and you can invest the money in better infrastructure. Not that it's a popular solution with the voters, but it is fiscally sound.

I think being in a relationship requires a kind of giving up of control, a "surrender" to the flow of the relationship, and many people are just too inflexible and want everything to fit perfectly to their pet peeves.

You certainly do "get to ignore accepted rules." That's how we got to where we are today, language wise. Split infinitives, sentences that end with prepositions, slang, emoji, abbrevation -- language lives.

I challenge you to compose a sentence, in context like this blog post, that is confusing to a native speaker with its/it's collapsed.
> For applications that store many items and target moderately low false positive rates, cuckoo filters have lower space overhead than space-optimised Bloom filters. Some possible use-cases that depend on approximated set-membership queries would be databases, caches, routers, and storage systems where it is used to decide if a given item is in a (usually large) set, with some small false positive probability. Alternatively, given it is designed to be a viable replacement to Bloom filters, it can also be used to reduce the space required in probabilistic routing tables, speed longest-prefix matching for IP addresses, improve network state management and monitoring, and encode multicast forwarding information in packets, among many other applications.

Poor reporting, or more likely, poor editing. The article has been compressed to the point where it fails to convey important distinctions clearly.

It takes some attentive re-reading to discover that the presence of identical system calls is not being put forward as evidence that Microsoft copied the source code for CP/M. Instead it discusses the possibility that Kildall could have had a copyright claim similar to Oracle's case against Google.

The article should have stated clearly from the outset that Zeidman is so confident that he has proven that Bill Gates did not copy any source code from CP/M that he is prepared to offer a large bounty to anyone who can demonstrate the opposite.

The real news here is the size of the bounty, $100,000. I suspect that Ziedman's case is sound, and that it would be a waste of time to take him up on his offer even if the prize were increased by several orders of magnitude (unless one did it strictly for fun and education).
