I actually think what will happen is a combination of a welfare state with some type of "jobs program" even if the job is just something useless or " study in university" etc.

But one thing is very worrisome - this all depends on the power of the people to rule , but companies seem very good at resisting that power (for ex. Tax loopholes, lobbying) , and if companies and psychopathic tendencies have their way - it would be pretty bad .
This seems like a conclusion made with absolutely no evidence or reasoning.
Hmm, perhaps useful for a teaching tool.

If used as such, it'd be really nice to be able to go the other way - a regex explainer if you will.
Ok, I did my due diligence and read my comment over at least three times, I fail to see where I said corporations are "evil". Were you agreeing with me? Because other than the evil part, your comment is much in line with what I meant.
Assuming that they acutally are legally in the country, they could have talked to a lawyer and try to find a new job.
>>It's basic income, like, enough for beans and rice and a small apartment.

Pretty soon some will guilt shame a rich guy for driving around an BMW while some 'poor' are getting by on with 'rice', 'beans' and 'small apartment'. And ask for basic luxury.
If you think of Apple as simply a bellweather, and assume that the government is coopted by regulatory capture [1], it makes a lot more sense - they're just doing their masters' bidding.

I'd be happy to get a translator that goes the other way, to help decode unfamiliar regex. Other than that though, I pretty much agree with you.
The speed of the signal depends on the properties of the surrounding medium though, right? You get one speed through copper in air but another speed entirely for copper in silicon.
> If two people have blue eyes, "Somebody has blue eyes" is not new information, because everyone has already seen that someone has blue eyes.

The new information in that scenario is that the other guy with blue eyes knows that someone has blue eyes.
Functional, yes. I can't think of too many cases where JQuery has every prevented me from mutating anything.
I was going to say, isn't this old news? I thought IAC owned them for a while... and they did. Dang old story.
Nutanix completes double acquisition
Bullshit, this journalist is totally biased. Most of the corrupters are related to the PT party (same party in which Dilma and Lula are affiliated to). It's very sad to see all this happening in Brazil! :/ I hope the corruption installed into the government institutions are diminished or stopped completely. At the moment the honest politicians are the exception. WE HAVE TO CHANGE THAT!

And that's such a hard problem that you don't even have to go down to CPU scale for it to matter.

If you look at mainboards (or some smaller PCBs), the connecting lanes between e.g. RAM and CPU closer to the centre are often zigzagged, to match the lengths – and delays – of the necessarily longer outer lanes. The speed of light is actually really damn slow.
biggest story on here is 500 uber rides only made $6000 dollars
Anything but.
> Also, in comparison, most vehicles don't last longer than 8 years. Most people will have put over 100 thousand miles on their vehicle at that point, most vehicles start falling apart just over the 125 thousand miles line, unless you've been very meticulous about babying your vehicle.

This is BS. The average vehicle age in the US is 11.4 years [1] and has been steadily increasing every year. At 12k miles a year, that would make ~140k roughly the average mileage for a vehicle in the US.

Mom-and-pop, or lifestyle businesses are categorized as companies who's customer delivery model can't scale well and/or who's market can't sustain a venture return regardless of how it's capitally backed. Capital comes in many forms, and VC is just a small blip in the total amount of money deployed to help businesses grow.
I have suggested a similar approach in a comment above but instead using a browser plugin with an overlay text editor or one that enables you to use your default text editor in a server/client model.
Well, not entirely. For data signals in general you just need all the lines to resolve to the desired value before the clock. You do need to be very careful about the clock, though.
There are plugins for browsers to replace foul words, you could scrub it with one then print to pdf.
It's also worth pointing out that the Gameloft acquisition was very much a hostile takeover. Gameloft and Ubisoft were both founded by the Guillemot family, and the Guillemots basically washed their hands of Gameloft after they failed to stop the takeover and dug in extra hard against Vivendi at Ubisoft.
Lithium ion batteries have been recyclable for a while now-- Best Buy has receptacles for used ones. It's been slow to get off the ground because virgin production is still rather cheap.

A while back I rented a nice hammer drill for $30 instead of buying a shit one from the same store for $50. For a more niche tool like that, it works out great not to have a bunch of money invested in nicer tools or a bunch of crap lying around.

Amusing that Ireland are going to appeal a decision which results in their receiving billions of dollars. They accurately calculate that a few billion is scant compensation if the Masters of the Universe then choose to go elsewhere for their tax-avoiding needs.
We're already doing this by having the internet available 24/7 through multiple devices.

Whether or not the internet is healthy is starting to become irrelevant. If you unplug, you currently can't compete in any intellectually challenging job with people who use the internet now (at least, I highly doubt you can, unless you're some kind of super-genius). The advantage of high-speed information availability is simply too great of an advantage.

The next stage will be similar to the internet. Sure there may be some disadvantages, and you can validly argue that being unplugged is more healthy. But you can't compete without it.
Sure, $9K on top of $80K is pretty steep, but that $80K build is orders of magnitude more comfortable than what an old VW could provide, and at reasonable speeds too.

You're right, I'm just being a cranky old man who thinks candy bars are still a quarter of a U. S. dollar. A/C? PNW, don't need it. But it's going to be $4K (installed) for the rest of the country. Power? 70bhp in that 4000 lb. tank. Now myself, when confronted with a mountain pass I'm content to put on some Grateful Dead to complete the experience, put 'er in 3rd gear, turn on the blinkers and get in the right lane with the trucks. But I can see that getting old quick for most folks. $10K for that Subaru engine. Add $20K for a turn-key VW, and we're at $35K for an old van that will keep you cool and get out of its own way, but still has inadequate brakes and a suspension that could use a refresh, along with a refrigerator that is so reliable that many remove it to put aftermarket in (though ours is rock-solid on electric and propane). But despite all that, I still love ours. :-) But we look at it as a metal tent-on-wheels rather than living quarters.

And my pound sterling->USD converter says a T6 is going to cost you exactly $60K, before the 25% "chicken tax".
Oh yeah. I could walk down the street and take pictures of people dressed like that right now.
>As far as the future goes, throughput and latency both improve dramatically with low-orbit systems.

The problem is that they still pare in comparison to ground based systems. On LTE, with aggregation, you can get something like 100 Mbps out of a cell phone on about >90% of the US's land area with Verizon's network. Irridium Next which doesn't even start launching until September will be limited to 8 Mbps and won't be completely ready for another couple years. Two-way LEO satellite communication will only be worth it to people on the oceans very soon. The satellite dishes on buildings only work with one way communication.

Seems kinda crazy to retroactively assess taxes/fines on a company that was doing something completely legal in the country it was operating in. If you don't like the rules, change them - but to go backward in time and say what was clearly legal shouldn't have been is crazy.

That'd be like re-scoring the 1890 World Series based on today's MLB rulebook.
My prediction is that the real money will be in drone powered agricultural robots. Why force people to physically pick produce when they could do the same from their home (or another country perhaps). And 24/7 to boot.
Wow, just wow. The ultimate sketchy. How do companies like this expect to carry on and cover up their fraud with a simple name change?
I still don't understand why companies avoid local taxes. It doesn't make any sense to me. Their fiduciary duty is to act in the best interests of their investors. Unless the investors all consider their best-case-scenario to live in a world of anarchy and lawlessness, it is obviously in everyone's best interest (financially and otherwise) to pay taxes as expected. Anything else is an affront to the structure of modern civilization.

It is not in the best interest of Apple shareholders for the quality of life in the US/California/etc to deteriorate due to missing tax dollars. Long-term, stable societies are much more useful for making money than a few billion in secret stash tax havens.
Harder for the US to get its hands on the money if the EC has already taken it, no?
You have a volume V1, and let d1 be the maximum density of information you can store in V1. If you try to store any more, your storage will collapse into a black hole, so d1 is the maximum density.

Now you get 8 times more data. But cannot story this data in a volume 8*V1, because if you try to use 8 volumes V1 with density d1, and place these next to each other, they will collapse into a black hole.

Thus, the more data you have, the smaller density you can use for storing it.
Can confirm. Installing Git (or SSH) on Windows is frustrating beyond belief. I can't seem to ever get the .ssh folder in the correct place and when I do it doesn't make any sense (from a Windows standpoint). Grrrr...
I think it is hilariously hypocritical coming from a tax authority that wants to collect taxes on income their citizens earned while working outside of their borders. Talk about trying to be a 'supra-national tax authority'.

In some ways there is a fight going on with national governments telling corporations to start putting their hoarded cash to work in the various economies or else we'll take it and put it to work in the economies. In a number of dystopian futures there is an event in the past called the "corporate wars" and this kinda feels a bit like something you might call a corporate war.

I would suggest having it check 2 URLs, the first for the base content/html to make certain it renders from the server[0], and the second being a health/ping of your UI's API resource[1]

In the end, an SPA is a combination of its' components, which means you need to test those API component resources. I find that there are three things that should come at the very start of any application... 1) error state/handling, 2) authentication+roles and 3) feature flagging.

Regarding error state/handling are procedures and definitions of how to pass/return/handle error conditions, retries etc. There's a reason node-style callbacks put error first, it makes that the default, first thing to check. APIs and logging should also account for this... You should also update your state based on certain error conditions in terms of health check. Validate input and return proper 4xx responses, errors as 5xx should be resolved or triaged, and reflected in your health-check.

User authentication and roles can be slightly deferred if you have a well defined interface for control of how to access/use said roles...

The third part being how to define and determine what features are flagged/enabled for what users and in what environments.

If you do the above, and have proper conditional handling, you should be able to cover the rest as suggested.

I can see how the logic around this went: There have been some negative press from folks who worked on the trending team which probably pissed Facebook off. Theoretically, clicking on a trending topic would bring up the latest news articles posted and provide additional information/context.

The reality is that I am seeing a lot more tabloid-esque topics that seem like they might be relevant but are not once I click through.

Yesterday, a trending topic for me was #mcchicken which I thought oh maybe McDonald's released a new chicken sandwich or some type of food/health news. Instead, it was trending because some guy basically stuck his penis in a mcchicken sandwich and posted a video of it. Previously, I would have expected human editors to either deem this unnewsworthy or at least provide a better one word description than #mcchicken maybe like #guyhassexwithmcchicken.

Anyways, I'm sure it will get better over time but I am missing the old module. I thought the descriptions were succinct and well written.
Love the GitX-style tree view!
Interesting ideas!

That's odd. There has to be more going on there, yes?

glibc malloc not up to the task?
Yeah ECS is a pretty much just a dumb layer on top of docker that handles two things: placing your containers onto instances (and restarting them or replacing them if needed), and adjusting the settings on an ELB, or ALB so that the load balancer is pointed at an instance running the container.

The ECS approach is a pretty minimal to glue together a cluster of instances running docker and ELB, while Kubernetes has a lot more baked into the core implementation.
If each prisoner has their own ordering, it's exceedingly likely that one of those orderings will have a 51-cycle.

This strategy only works with one common dictionary. You have the same individual odds, but you've linked each person: each member of a cycle succeeds or fails together.

If it wasn't decided beforehand, you could just make up the ordering as you go. This gives exactly the same odds as random selection.

That's not really true. The OP claimed that the maintenance costs are lower. "Specialized pieces of electronics and power distribution kit" are not involved in maintenance, those are repair parts you're talking about. Maintenance and repair are two different things: one is something you do proactively because some parts are designed for limited life and must be replaced periodically to keep the system in good running condition, whereas the other is something you do when something unforeseen breaks down. A spark plug is a maintenance item; a spark plug coil is somewhere in the middle but closer to a repair part (they do fail, but not often and usually after a very long time, they usually last the life of the car), whereas an ECU is absolutely a repair part because it should never need replacement. "Specialized pieces of electronics" also should not fail for the life of the vehicle.

Why this is important is that a car can easily have very low maintenance costs, but very high repair costs. European luxury cars (sold in the US) are a good example of this: they're very reliable these days and shouldn't be hard or expensive to service (filters don't cost that much, oil is standard), but repair costs for a BMW or Mercedes are outrageous by most accounts because factory parts are very expensive for those brands, whereas similar parts for a more pedestrian American or Japanese brand are usually much cheaper.
Can you give examples of better ways to cut down your expenses?
A Peek into the Ultra-Exclusive Docker Captains Community
Probably AI will simulate the mind of every possible living creature so that every possible form of life will exist simultaneously.

It will probably start simulating organisms that have the simplest DNA first (since there are fewer possible permutations to simulate) and it will work its way up to long and complex DNA strands (including all possible permutations of human DNA), then will will simulate DNA of more advanced creatures which we can't even imagine... That essentially sounds like evolution.

Maybe our universe is already a simulation (maybe which is itself inside another simulation)... Like in the movie "The Matrix" except with infinite recursion.
There won't be a crash until the rivers of money being pumped out by the central banks of the world stops. The entire VC industry is just a tiny cork floating on a gale-whipped sea.

I do think that it is getting really hard to break through the noise with a new concept. There are just so many companies chasing the same eyeballs that it is really hard to get the traction needed to build a unicorn no matter how much money you raise. At this point it might be better to go hyper-niche and bootstrap.
Miniruby already exists.
> to access ad-hoc libraries without recompile though since Go doesn't really have dynamic loading of libraries

In the current version of Gro, I recompile (just like "go run"), so there's a 1 second lag even for simple scripts. For the same reason, the very basic REPL provided has a 1-second process time for each command. There's talk on reddit.com/r/golang about building a VM for Go so maybe in future Gro can use those.

> Are you going to change your middle name now to "Gro"

"Gro" is short for the "Grover edition of the Groovy language".

> has spent an enormous effort defending his stance on how poorly the Groovy organization is... [...] almost obsessive and a waste of energy

I've averaged a blog entry a month for the last 5 years. It seems like enormous effort and obsessive to you because you saw them all at once.
Which sadly is default/enforced behaviour. One day I downloaded something on Play Movies, and moved to another location that has Chromecast connected via a 3g access point. I expected the movie to play from the cached file, but no - it just silently downloaded a new version. Most expensive streaming session ever...
Ahh; that explains why performance wasn't awful all this time.
Even if you plant to drive it into the ground, you have to spread the cost of the car over the lifetime of it's use. If the Telsa only lasts 9 years, that's is going to add cost to his usage. If it lasts 30 years, that's going to reduce the cost of usage.

Otherwise any sort of calculation of expenses is missing one of the biggest components, the cost of the car.

So you are ok with him living his life how he chooses? Why do you think that is something that needed to be said? That should be everyone's default disposition, so I'm not sure if you're expecting a cookie for this or what?

Also, I don't think you have a strong enough grasp of this community to begin making assertions about its opinions towards certain professionals. As it is, your comment reads like "Silly HN readers, you guys aren't as smart as me, let me explain why you should share my opinion."
A driver's reaction time is already 1000 ms as is.

funny thing to say since the US Treasury is criticizing the EU over this abuse of tax law

The US and Ireland both signed off on the arrangement that apple and other companies use to avoid tax.

Now, a government that didn't exist at the time, is using new case law it has created, to retroactively change the tax laws of the governments underneath it.

Think of it as Europe's Marbury v Madison moment
I'm no fan of regexes, but I'm not a huge fan of this either; I would be interested in seeing existing convoluted regexes expressed like this for me in an IDE, but I don't like it as an input format.

I do wonder if having an EBNF compiler like ANTLR being more accessible would solve the readability & maintainability issues.
So why would one ever bother with RAID-6 (or its moral equivalent with RAID-Z)? I've yet to hear someone justify it from a requirement being to actually survive two drives failing simultaneously.

I agree that the quality of each implementation is very pertinent here. I wonder if the B-Tree implementation in question used the Lehman & Yao B-link technique, in order to obviate the need for "latch coupling"/"crabbing". At the same time, it's interesting to consider if the LSM implementation is similarly optimized to minimize low-level locks/semaphore overhead, if in fact that's actually possible.

In general, B-Tree index performance has plenty to do with low-level optimizations, beyond things that are published in academic papers. I'm talking about things like micro-optimizing the number of CPU cache misses on internal pages, the use of interpolation search, and so on.
