Show HN: Setup Secure CoreOS Cluster with Terraform
While there are other companies like ZipCar or Car2Go have already the technology, the experience, and the infrastructure on how to own cars, how to service cars, and how to bring the users and those cars together.

On the other side, Uber does not own any car neither have any infrastructure for those cars.

So it should be easier for ZipCar, Car2Go and alike to exchange those cars with self-driving cars vs. Uber to build up that infrastructure.
Oh no, this isn't to justify the valuation by a long shot.
Why Working for a Huge Company Is Better Than Working for a Startup
An example of how to provision a CoreOS cluster on AWS using Terraform. This example sets up a VPC, private and public networks, NAT server, an RDS database, a CoreOS cluster and a private Docker registry and properly configures tight security groups.

The cluster is configured via cloud-config user data and runs etcd2.service and fleet.service. All peer and client traffic is encrypted using self signed certificates.

A private Docker registry is also created at registry.local and Docker nodes are properly configured to use it.

I have also deployed an example API from here: https://github.com/RichardKnop/example-api

Using nghttp2 to work around Nginx HTTP/2 bugs
While I hate comcast, they are pretty smart. They essentially ran a kickstarter campaign with American taxpayer money to build out infrastructure, much of which they renegged on and only built out in expensive areas. They then charge the taxpayers (users) for the service of which they secured a monopoly or in the best case a duopoly. They charge cable providers, ask for peering costs and do all sorts of shit with the information they receive while doing business. They are essentially triple charging taxpayers for 1 service while also charging the other side of the market, really getting paid about 4x as much as they should.

They do this consistently.

They do this successfully.

They do this at MASSIVE profit.

And this is why everyone despises them, except their shareholders. Honestly, I wish we could just execute a hostile takeover of the company and then start bidding for broad spectrum. Getting absurd.

As someone who's worked on/with teams building various Watson services/solutions over the past 3 years, I can confirm Watson is almost entirely a branding exercise without (from the engineering perspective) common leadership, coherent inter-team objectives, etc.

There isn't a 'unified approach' to anything here beyond the use of various open source machine learning libraries with huge amounts of medical data either licensed or acquired over the past 2 years.
UC Irvine's battery with improved charging capacity
Say you are writing a spider and want to determine whether you have to revisit a website today or tomorrow. The minimal chance of visiting it tomorrow instead of today even if the crawler should have visited it today is trade-off you would take instantly if it increases the look-up speed, space requirements and makes stuff like this even feasible in the first place without a huge budget.

Everything related to caching when working with a huge dataset is a good use-case. Another case would be when the dataset does not fit into memory, but you need very fast lookups.

Edit: To clearify, you are obviously not caching the data itself, but a flag whether to use the cache/do nothing or compute something.
You seem to ignore that those car companies have such services already in place and run them successfully. Car2Go from Mercedes was first and started with the Smart. It is now being supplemented by higher-end models.

BMW has the same service running together with SIXT in Europe with BMW Mini and other smaller models.

Also VW started the same just a few years ago, but is not widely used, AFAIK.

Because of the way physics works, you'll never get 100% outcome, but there's work to show, that over a certain threshold, all errors can be corrected by the algorithm in a way, that the final result is 100% correct (threshold theorem, apparently errors up to 3% can be corrected in some settings). The end result is perfect, you just have to get there differently.

Wire Wire: A West African Cyber Threat
Here's one example. Web browsers often use bloom filters or similar data structures to check for malicious URLs. They first check the URL against the local bloom filter, and if a match is found, they double check against an online API to make sure it wasn't a false positive.

Shipping a full list of malicious URLs would be too expensive, but a bloom filter fits in a fraction of the space and can still eliminate a vast majority of the API calls.
One thing makes me curious. Here in Carpathians, if you leave unmaintained plot of land, it will turn into forest by itself in 20 years. First it gets grown over by blackberries, wild roses and other thorny bushes (birds excrement the seeds everywhere). Few years later, between the bushes trees (like maple) will grow from seeds brought in by wind. You can't plant trees directly into the grass, they don't compete well with it and prefer growing between the bushes instead. Why apparently noone in the UK realized that there's easier more natural way?

In my experience, those who like to rag on UEFI, for whatever problem they deem it to suffer from, are rarely interested in providing other options or solutions to the problems UEFI provenly solve.

Black Activists Don’t Ignore Crime
A quick test I did just now.

Response from google via Tor: 208 ms.

Response from google without: 32 ms.

To be fair I am basically on a trunk line via my university.

I mean you are right though, a domestic WiFi connection is likely to be in the 200 ms range, so another 200 ms on-top of that might not be as big of a deal, but I would suspect it would still end up being closer to 500 ms to get a response. Google made a point where anything over 200 ms feels slow to users. Tor is definitely going to push everything over that.
To me, there's little gain in making assumptions about the life circumstances of individuals one does not know intimately.

My advice is too move forward with other potential consultants. Perhaps consider working with the original developer again?

Good luck.
I'm not sure that I described it well in my post, but I don't try and fish for that information whatsoever. I don't ask any questions related to it, but I'm not shy about my own situation either if it comes up in conversation. These days many people are coached not to really ask about work life balance or to bring up anything that would prevent them from being a 100% dedicated, 24/7 employee, and I think that's pretty shitty. I can't really ask about their needs there in a way that makes me comfortable asking it, so if the conversation goes that way, I'll describe my own situation without any follow up questions.

Every company and every manager out there tries to sell people on their great company culture and work-life balance. I actually have one. I actively cultivate that internally and set team boundaries that promote having a life outside of here. It's important (to me) that candidates know that we actually do what we say we do in terms of work life balance.
64-bit Linux kernels can be configured to so that they can be booted by 32-bit UEFI. It's messy but it works. Even runtime services like UEFI variables work.

I think the idea is that long mode can be fused off. IIRC there's some MS requirement that boxes that have 64-bit CPUs must use 64-bit Windows, so keeping 32-bit firmware and adding a fuse works around it for users who care.

For the first error (`GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found) try the other Linux version (the one marked as GCC 4.9.3). This was the reason I uploaded it.

For the second error (at least on Ubuntu 14.04) it seems that some dependency is missing but ldd doesn't report it. Under Ubuntu 14.04 ldd maps /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 to /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 but when you try loading the executable this doesn't happen. If this is the case for you, try creating a symlink:

ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Hope that helps.
I can see this argument coming from someone who is privileged enough to move outside their ancestral domicile.

Actually Everest isn't technically difficult to climb. There are more challenging and dangerous ascents like K2 and Anapurna. More people die on Everest because a lot of adventure companies will take you up without much prior experience on big mountains. This should be stopped. Climbing it shouldn't.

There are devices like http://www.ebay.com/bhp/bluetooth-gps-receiver

I have one from 2008, which I don't use anymore. It speaks NMEA and it sends the data over GPRS. I guess there are 3G devices now. An advantage of GPRS is that it's everywhere (at least in Europe) because basically it's data over GSM. It's cheap. A data only SIM with 2 MB per month per year (yes MB) was 12 Euro per year. But you're not sending many positions and it's few bytes per position. I made a site like gping.io back then. Not enough customers but it could be different now.

A word of caution for any kind of GPS device, phone included. The GPS antenna needs to see the sky, best if a lot of sky. The roof of the car is enough to severely shield the GPS signal. You need assisted GPS then.
It likely depends on your country's, state's or local area's laws.

Warranty-void-if-removed stickers reduce the cost to the company of providing the warranty, among other effects. Outlawing these stickers increases the cost of warranties to consumers who have no interest in opening the hardware.

I would be interested to hear from the regulators what assumptions were necessary to justify the policy.

Ghost, self-hosted, the software is free and I pay $5/month for the small DO box.

The platforms (Wordpress.com, Ghost(Pro), Blogger, etc) will probably handle massive spikes better. With something like CloudFlare, I think you can mitigate a lot of that though.

I've also been happy with Tumblr in the past — there's no self-hosted version available, but hosted is free. I like Ghost's writing tools better, but Tumblr's media tools are far more full featured and battle tested from years of tons of users.
What if the parachute was a big magnetically contained gas cloud ?
Thanks! In that discussion http://flexboxgrid.com/ seems to be the most upvoted alternative.

What I find is a nuisance with flexbox in general, is that I end up with a large amount of DOM-hierarchy, made up by elements that do nothing semantically and are only needed for layout purposes.

Example from flexboxgrid:

<div class="row">

<div class="col-xs">

<div class="box">auto</div>

<div class="row">

<div class="col-xs">

<div class="box">auto</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

I know the world isn't perfect and probably flexbox is still the best solution for more complex but responsive layouts, though.

I've seen the same phenomenon in New England. If you stop mowing a field for five years, within twenty you'll have a young wood lot. Clear-cut forest grows back even faster - as you said, two-three years of blackberries, then hardwood whips will come back from the seed dormant on the ground or the old stumps, and grow up into harvestable timber again in short order. Unless the logging companies are trying to grow a piece back with something that wouldn't naturally grow, there's rarely a need to replant.

I would suppose that in this situation, the landscape is too devastated for the natural process to quickly recolonize the area. With so much open pit/strip mining, the old topsoil is stripped away,so all of that residual seed that would otherwise spring up no longer is present, and the soil present is far less welcoming to any wind-blown or animal-deposited seed.
I'd love to see the ecological models or decision making rules that were applied to decide where to plant the trees, what kind and how many to plant, and any other imporant factors that a lay person like myself might not think of. Open sourcing the decision making process could spread these techniques to many more locations.

> their browser still doesn't support real extensions after all these years

I'm confused. What is a "real extension"? Given the rich extension library for chrome I'm not sure of the difference.

Rather than remind the poor souls, it may be time to acknowledge and accept the fact that "real extensions" aren't an actual benefit of Firefox over Chrome? If it is a reference to IE. I think the only reason IE has market share now is the fact that it is the default on Windows.
Currently, Tumblr seems like a good option. But it's limited by its approach to blogging. It separates out text, images, videos, quotes and links. I find that approach quite limiting as when we write we tend to mix and match all those formats.

Also, I found it limiting to publishing code in Tumblr.
