I don't see local ISPs offering this; I _do_ see CDNs offering this sort of service though. A CDN is Dropbox or Box with more reach, and they already have the POPs, they'd just need more capacity.

Aren't 60TB and 100TB SSDs just down the road in the next few years?
Exactly. In my latest venture, which I have marketed for a couple of months, I told someone that I finally have 1 paying customer and he kind-of laughed. I said the absolute hardest thing in business is to get the first customer that will look at your invoice and sign a cheque. Everything is downhill after the first paying customer. He really didn't understand this.
How can you be ashamed of a country that is one of the greatest examples of free living and free thought in the history of mankind?

Yes we are imperfect, and must reflect accountably on our morale transgressions. Being honest about our wrongs should not prevent us from being a proud country.

If you are ashamed of the US, how many countries could you be proud of?

I don't get it. Isn't there a missing step of making the objects relocatable (i.e. what -fPIC does)? That requires rewriting branches and stuff. But clearly wcc isn't doing this?

Consider that these people do not have reliable information sources for what the justice system is really like. They watch the nightly news which recounts the arrests of murderers and thieves of various stripes. They watch Law and Order which shows the elements of the justice system working hard to get and keep the bad guys behind bars, and big showy trials where weeks are spent on determining one person's guilt or innocence. That's generally the extent of the public's interaction with the justice system.

What doesn't get shown is that the judge spends 3 minutes looking at your case and passes a mostly-arbitrary sentence. They don't show that you get crammed into a courtroom and forced to wait 5 hours before your case is heard. They don't show that lawyers are more than happy to let you rot if you can't forward them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that many public defenders consider their cases a total joke (or that many private attorneys frequently blow off their smaller clients). They don't show technicians more considered with linguistic niggles than a moral and fair outcome.

Things like Making a Murderer (which had to be shown on Netflix, not a major broadcaster) are helping to break the trance, but there's still a long way to go.

Americans have been thoroughly programmed by the elite for decades. We have to undo it and try to show reality, not the flashy Hollywood-style rendition of events. Most people are sympathetic and helpful if they truly understand what's going on.
All kinds of things. For years as a business owner I used FOIAs to gain some insight into government contracting work. It was expensive but I think worth it. Lately I've been asking for information about military operations and projects that I know have happened or exist, but that no one knows about (this is very, very hard to do, btw, and I don't recommend it since you'll probably just waste your time). When I hear about classified projects -- for example from Snowden's release -- I FOIA for information that might be tangential but unclassified. That's how you find bombshells, btw. Most of the time these days, I get the "cannot confirm or deny" replies, or "we could not find material responsive to your request". I have some very cool FOIA responses from from the NSA from the six months before Snowden dropped his bomb. "We can't confirm or deny ... National security" and the like. I'm not sure how to say this, but due to my network, I had some insight into what was happening. Don't get the wrong idea about me, but anyway, those replies (one of them dated on "the apocalypse" of 21 December 2012) are fairly frame-able. As I said above, FOIA'ing as a commercial requester was expensive. As a private person asking for noncommercial reasons, you can waive a lot of the fees.

Overall I think the FOIA is a great utility. Most big name federal agencies actually have FOIA liaisons that will try to help if they can. Some, of course, are just as douche-y as you would imagine (e.g. NSA, NRO, CIA). Though I did have a few good interactions with CIA FOIAs, mostly bad ones though. The FOIA actually says in the law that the reviewing official should look at a FOIA as "what can we release?" and not as "what can we hide?", and you need to tell people this more often than you would like. I actually used a FOIA to get my DNA information from the military's secret-but-not-secret DNA database. It's a database of every service member's DNA, and ostensibly is for identifying remains. That was actually very difficult, because nobody had ever FOIA'ed the Army's "funerary affairs" office for DNA information, and so they were under the impression they could just ignore my requests. That taught me a lot and was actually fun in a weird way. You just have to persist, and escalate if you don't agree with the response or don't get any. FOIAs are serious business, and most people in the US government are people just like you and me, and want to help you find what you're looking for. Though, some people in government -- like any other community -- are bullies on a power trip. Wow, sorry for the wall of text!

This is a project I did to scratch my own itch. I have this problem of finishing an article I start reading; I can not abandon it however bad it is, don't ask me why. So I developed this extension for chrome where it tells you how much time it would take you to read an article. Sounds odd but for me Knowing the time investment I have to put in upfront would restrain me from mindlessly reading random articles. Works best on article based content. its opensource and you can contribute here, https://github.com/usergit/read-time link to the extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/read-time/nccohhimobidpghgpnejnbkpoichbbml

Fascinating. Still reading through and processing this paper.

"Mathematicians are those humans who advance human understanding of mathematics."

I would submit that there are mathematicians (great ones indeed) who did not seek to advance human understanding of the subject, but may have regardless done so as a side effect of the thread they tugged upon, the tapestry unraveled. Of course, a utilitarian perspective (at least in retrospect) would consider their ultimately accepted works to have advanced human understanding.

Yet I have observed some mathematicians regard their pursuit to be entirely personal, something to the effect of daring to perceive the true contours of logic and patterns in the universe, in their purest form. They revel in the beauty of universal abstractions, the way another might admire and gaze upon a blue lilac in one's own garden.

With this in mind, I would consider these mathematicians having only first undertaken the more lofty goal of advancing human understanding, at the moment they communicate their perceptions with the rest of the world (by publication or other discourse). At that time, they have decidedly entered into the more heavily social nature inherent in any modern intellectual discipline.

I don't think you understand how voting works in the US. Voting isn't even close to the honor system. The people who run precincts are incredibly decentralized and individual precincts have such a small impact on national elections.

Yeah, it's amazing how fast it goes when you give it tons of RAM and turn off GC.
Totally. My brother in law lives in the burbs where Verizon deploys FIOS 5 miles away (they don't like cities). He can pay $39.99 for my service from TW, or $69 for 100/100 from VZ.

TWC is less noxious than Verizon though -- they don't block Netflix, etc in my area.

I ran a setup like this for several years but rejected/spam foldered emails were always a pain, plus a well-appointed mail host uses a fair bit of memory. I use Google mail now. It's not very expensive, and instant unconditional delivery to other Google mail users is a pretty nice perk. The nicest thing is not having the worry in the back of your head that just maybe something has gone awry with your setup and you are losing mail right now.
Why was Clinton so effective compared to the GOP's old guard? They absolutely despise their nominee- why weren't they able to pull enough dirty tricks to sink Trump?

And, again, in the general, I've seen no evidence that the Clinton camp is vastly less moral than the GOP/Trump camp- why attribute all potential rigging to Clinton when the GOP has just as much reason to pull the same tricks?
You know, I wonder (and perhaps this is already implemented and I just haven't heard of it) if that could be specified by auto-expanding paths:

If you're doing anything interesting, there's a good chance that you'll end up in a courtroom, either criminal or civil.

Tons of tech businesses are built on the back of open disregard for intellectual property and tech access laws. It just takes the wrong combination of events to get hauled in for that. Look at Aaron Swartz, whose conviction proceeded purely based on Carmen Ortiz's desire to get a cybercrime prosecution on her resume.

The truth is that a good deal of the work that HN users are likely to get involved in could be considered criminal because of unfair laws like the CFAA, DMCA, and the Copyright Act, all of which prescribe criminal penalties.

There are other laws that stalk startups and businessmen, ranging from tax law to esoteric industry regulations. If a businessman makes the wrong person mad, he could easily end up locked in jail. Martin Shkreli is another good example of this -- a few days after he made the news and pissed everyone off, the SEC filed an indictment. They did that because it's easy to accuse anyone who's done anything slightly out of the ordinary of crimes. This really has almost nothing to do with the person's moral fortitude or the harm they've caused in the world, except insofar as you believe that people in authority are unwilling to target innocent people (true pretty often, but not often enough).
You make it sound like that's a difficult thing to acquire.

But, as my dissertation adviser pointed out, "[apathy], you have to remember that Really Stupid People get PhDs all the time. Don't let me down."
Gerrymandering is also something you can't just 'not do'. There's no natural or fair way to draw districts, it doesn't work that way.
I do envy them; it sounds like fun work, almost like solving the world's hardest sudoko puzzle.
But here's the problem: "You want to check ID at the polling place? You must be a racist! Here's how that represents a tiny, yet unacceptable burden, for some underprivileged group."

This is actually where we are as a country. It's depressing.
And you can lose weight but look bigger if your muscle to fat ratio goes down. Fat is less dense, it takes up more volume per equal masses of muscle or fat.
It should never be about weight loss, but muscle to fat ratio, as I wrote about in the thread above. You will be healthier when you lower your fat percentage and boost your muscle mass. Weight does not differentiate between between fat or muscle.

Also, I had a discussion with a theoretical physicist recently where we spent almost half an hour bemoaning the myriad ways in which experimental design was ignored in our (hard science) undergrad programs, as well as many if not most graduate programs. It's sad.
The prosecution already has the flexibility to decline to prosecute. They shouldn't prosecute anyone who doesn't deserve to be punished. In theory, it's an important check on the legal system, but in practice, it turns out attorneys like being employed, so they make work for themselves.
No, there is no impact to Synology's Hybrid RAID running on btrfs. Synology uses mdadm/lvm for RAID.
No. I am concerned about the city's property being stolen.

The recyclables belong to the city once I leave it out for recycling. They collect the value from it, including any deposit value.

As a Taxpayer, I want this value to go to the city.
The real problem is that the unencrypted nature of email makes most solutions non-starters. If end-to-end were the default, then you could imagine having a process whereby you ran a P2P service which kept your MX records pointed to a cluster of network members, all of whom agreed to act as your MX fallback if you went down and which collectively handled monitoring and distributing blacklist notifications.
Well what if the message passed creates an object?

Running an MTA isn't too hard, but it's annoying. Postfix, qmail, and opensmtpd are the easiest to set up. I never actually got POP/IMAP working, so I have no advice there.
Personally I don't think that snarky comments should be grounds for impeachment. What's important is what's happening, not that the judge says "rice and beans" instead of "sandwiches". Let's keep our priorities straight, lest we get our fill of accomplishment by controlling others' speech instead of improving conduct.
All of this with the qualifier 'marathon runner' or 'endurance athlete', since explosive, short-duration, powerful sports require immediate energy reserves, which they readily deplete when you do this type of exercise. Fat metabolism would be too slow for the quick, short types of activities.

I also believe endurance or extreme endurance activities are more for your enjoyment than fitness. They take their toll on the body's joints, organs and regulatory systems. Moderation is good advice in lots of things.
OSET is trying to help with this. They are working to make open source voting systems available.

> Very few residents take advantage of the weekday commuter lines running from the new Wickford Junction Station.

I wanted to take MBTA commuter rail to Boston on a Wednesday afternoon to see the Red Sox play the Giants at Fenway Park. There were no trains leaving Wickford between 1:25 and 5:30 pm, so I had to park at Wickford Junction, take a bus to Providence, and walk three blocks to the Amtrak station to catch a train. What good is a beautiful station if there is a 4-hour gap between trains on a weekday?
I think you may have misread this article. The fear is hacking by criminals or other nation states, not our own political parties. That would be a case of rigging.

>As long as they aren't doing something directly illegal

Manipulating votes on a voting machine would definitely be directly illegal.
I think that the issue there is not with the ID per se, but with the cost (in time and money) disproportionately affecting the poor and also with the fact that it de facto creates a national ID system (which some are ideologically opposed to).

I would be ok with voter ID laws which accepted a multitude of valid existing documents. E.g if you allow passport, driver license, state ID, SS card and birth cert then there probably does not exist a person whom does not have at least one of those.
I don't know enough about LK to make the comparison.

> How does Rust address this goal?

Currently? Not as well. There's no total proof framework for Rust yet, it's too early. In a few years? The same way, but with more "proven" by default, without the extra tooling. Tool maturity is certainly one of the areas where C has a leg-up on Rust, by virtues of being decades older.
Ah what a bummer. A well articulated argument followed up by lame ad hominem.

I've seen about 50/50 VMware/Hyper-V in my travels. I mostly deal with manufacturing companies in the US. They're very Windows centric, which, I imagine, is why Hyper-V comes up so often. Virtually none of them want to touch anything cloud based; there's a lack of trust and potential legal issues depending on what they're making. Cloud platforms targeted toward government might change that. The more forward thinking small/mid sized operations seem to be moving towards some cloud based products, but the industry is behind the times.

Can only speak from experience within US manufacturing. Don't apply this beyond that.
Your company is amazingly lucky if it only gets a blacklist incident once a year, and if that incident is easily resolved.

The internet seems to have decided that if your mail doesn't come from one of the major commercial mail brokers, it's as good as spam. I ran several private mail servers for several years before giving up. I'm generally suspicious of moving to cloud/services, but outgoing email is the one thing that I can safely say 99% of companies would be better off moving to a service.
Fun with Masked ROMs – Atmel MARC4
Differences in wall-to-wall distances at middle and longer distances are less important than in shorter distances. The article uses a 100m race. But consider a 50m race. 3 cm over 5,000 cm is a .06% difference. That's easily 1/100 of a second in a 24 second race.

But in longer races, there are many other factors that add noise to this. For one, swimmers aren't competing in a pool where one has to swim 1,500m and another 1,499m pool. They are making turns. A 3cm different is well within the 'noise' of a flip turn.

Also, there is drafting and bow waves, and other things going on that have a bigger effect than the 3cm per length.
Citation needed? I don't recall ever hearing that before, and the wikipedia entry for ragtime doesn't mention guitar in the context of the history of the genre at all. It does talk about Ben Harney [1], who allegedly invented the term and was a piano player, and brings up the obvious connections of the form (at least as Joplin wrote it) to marches in the Sousa style.

If you feel the parent's assertion of racism isn't sufficiently well proven, then your counter argument (that it's just about wealth) should also be dismissed for similar logical flaws. As such, you should NOT be saying 'No.'

Your decision to strongly reject racism and instead assert an economic explanation with precisely equally flawed evidence tells us much about you (that you hold your own evidence to a lower standard than others; that you are eager to argue that racism does not exist; that your logic is weak), but it does not add to the conversation.

Additionally, it's unreasonable to assert that there's "really" just one problem at work here. Your ability to program a computer does not mean that you know how to diagnose and fix a very complex system that you haven't studied, and that is broken in a multitude of ways. I get that you think it does... but that's just your giant white male tech ego. You're ignorant on this topic, and anything you write will make the world dumber and a worse place.

Just stop.

Don't defend your idiocy. DOn't talk about race or justice ever again. You clearly don't care enough to do a good job of it.
Discussing the modern implementations of containers, like Docker, rkt, and LXC. Things like jails have been time-tested and most of the complaints in the post aren't applicable to them. "Container" has taken on new meaning to mean such new-fangled container frameworks. IMO calling something like a jail a container is now obtuse and incorrect.

My post was primarily referring to Docker, as you can tell from the grandparent that says "Docker and database do not mix", and then the rest of the post body that speaks to Docker-specific issues.
The writer's implication is that officers of the court knew in advance that his belt had been taken from him, and simply enjoyed humiliating people who they consider beneath them. It's akin to arresting someone for getting blood on your uniform after you beat them: http://www.npr.org/2014/09/12/348010247/in-ferguson-mo-befor....

What background are you from that allows you to presume ignorance is more likely than malice? Are you perhaps from a more civilized country where those in power don't use petty humiliation to assert their superiority? Or were you employing some sort of subtle trolling humor that flies over the heads of us Americans?
While I personally agree with your actions, I do wonder if it really is ethical to hack them back. Anyway, thanks, the more awareness of this BS, the better.
It disproportionately affects the poor who have trouble with transportation and scheduling to get a photo ID (since they may not be drivers, and therefore previously may not have had the need for a photo ID), and also the elderly, whose birth records may be difficult to find. It obviously doesn't affect those who regularly have up-to-date photo IDs, say, because they already drive everywhere.

If we offered same-day voter registration at every polling place, or had automatic voter registration by virtue of some other government process, this would be a non-issue.

I was also living in downtown Baltimore during the post-Freddie Gray unrest. I was disappointed to see the acquittals. At the same time, if I were in those cops' shoes, I'm not sure if have the moral strength to be any different. Society needs a certain amount of order to function.

The thing is, though, the Baltimore police aren't agents of "order." See http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/articl... -- these clowns belong in a Batman movie.

Yes, that certainly appears to be true, as that newspaper article makes clear.

At the same time, if I were in those cops' shoes, I'm not sure if (I'd) have the moral strength to be any different

I think you would, as would most of the rest of us.
Implementing a Pratt parser in Rust
Because Worse is Better applies here as usual. Java was fast enough and familiar enough and the libraries were good enough and the language safe enough and Sun supported it well enough in the enterprise. Nothing else had the same combination of okayness. I never enjoyed Java but it had my half-grudging respect.
