I'm very familiar with #8. I worked for a company that was being super picky with its term sheets when looking for investment, but then suddenly the credit crunch happened and all our term sheets were withdrawn. Problem was, we were spending as if we'd already had an extra $15m in the bank, so we had to start cutting back.

I'd had a habit of coming in around 10 AM and staying most of the day and part of the late afternoon/evening; typical startup kind of 'go get lunch then come back and crank out some code' behaviour, while most of the rest of the dev team came in between 11 and 1. This includes one of our best developers, who, without downtime, ported an entire product from PHP to Rails on his own time over the weekend because the code was unmanageable and he wanted to be able to iterate faster.

Suddenly, after most of the most senior (and most expensive) people have left, the CEO decides that everyone needs to be in the office at 9 AM, you know, so we can communicate. Sure, okay. So people start coming in at 9 AM. They're tired, they haven't had breakfast, they only got 5 hours of sleep, but boss wants people filling seats so we fill them. I start getting phone calls at 9:03 if my bus is running late, because my buffer time was usually taken up by being in such a rush that I forgot my wallet.

So every day, everyone's tired, everyone's frustrated, and everyone's leaving after they've put their 8 hours in. My start date, when my options were priced, was the highest price the shares had ever traded at. But I was still one of the most well-paid engineers so I stayed until I got 'downsized' and took a month off.

Last I heard, the CEO was getting sued by the board for treating that company as a source of resources for his other company (like flights back to his other company's office, or my tech support to get his people up and running).
And even then, only in geosynchronous orbit, way too far away for photo surveillance. Spy satellites are in LEO and orbit the earth v roughly once an hour--they dont "hover" at all.

(In fact, they're passing over the ground at ~10km per second, so they end up using very fancy tracking optics to prevent motion blur. The best can apparently image lines in a parking lot. And to top off the technological insanity, some built during the Cold War did all this with ANALOG FILM, which was then dropped via a reentry capsule and caught in midair by a support plane while parachuting back to earth.)

I know, I asked a bunch of them. There's a reason the vast majority of GPL violations go unpunished.

Hi!

As a first step I will communicate browser support more clearly and gather data about when will support land for the yet unsupported browsers (I know Safari is coming in the fall).

About the home page: I have a server side rendered pure HTML fallback for crawlers, but I didn't yet turned it on for unsupported browsers. I will improve it and turn it on soon. Until then it can be viewed in google cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ZHpTEum....

About a fallback: I am thinking about a way to add it.

Thanks for the feedback.
"We curse in the office, we play loud music and sometimes we drink whiskey before 5PM. We don’t expect everyone to do this, but it is something that won’t change."

And yet...

"Respect the space. You don’t have to wear a suit or a dress everyday, but we expect you to dress professionally. Keep t-shirts, sandals, polar fleeces and hats to a minimum. If you wear sweatpants to work, you are going home."

So the office has the ambience of a frat house, but employees have to dress professionally? That's certainly an interesting combination of rules.

And strangely, on their "About Us" page, where they present their company to the world and to potential employees, one of the founders is wearing jeans and a t-shirt:

The Congress will get every shred of legislation they can suck from the desperation of the Obama Administration to have it pass. No legislator wants to have their name on the bill before elections, especially without official support from the head of parties. So it's only going to happen, even though basically everyone in the hall of Washington want it, if there's enough collateral or safety in it for each of the signees.

If it doesn't pass in the Lame Duck it's likely to be fielded in the first couple years of the next administration after it gets established, likely with some face-saving side legislation "oh with this economic stimulus (e.g. TPA) or additional clause regarding currency manipulation suddenly the TPP is a great deal!"

The establishment know that TPP is about national power - economically containing China by isolating it from major trading partners. Soon it will begin to field this in a 'PR friendly form' ("US has to write the rules or China will") to US citizens through official statements and press releases, in the hopes of getting broader appeal by more explicit support for it's most significant features.

I think it's really likely to pass, though not without a groaning and distrustful public - who will view the TPP (much because its true) - as a measure for the economy that further concentrates wealth, protecting and empowering the industries, technologies and investments that are already at the peak of the domestic economy - while forcing those at the lowest to compete for space even more.

The TPP I don't think is falling apart so much as it's starting to have to see a little real sunlight, because the public hasn't bought into the "Free Trade" (TM) labeling it carries. Few understand that the alternatives to the TPP pushed by China (CREC, etc) are also - in fact probably even more in the most traditional sense - 'free trade' deals; instead they have a basic idea that the TPP isn't exactly what Washington says that it is and that the machinations about how it's going to be good for the US economy doesn't mean that the 'goodness' will be charitably and judiciously applied across the economy.

Ultimately we're in for some pretty interesting stage productions out of K Street for the next few months.

Show HN: a multiProcess scheduler in Python
I was recently involved in a job change, and for that I have been doing a lot of programming interviews (white board questions). One common question on those interviews were: "how to implement a scheduler?" follow up by "how to make it multi-processing?". I have to confess that I only had a clue on how to do that.

After the interview period, I started searching for a solution for that, and could not find one. To be more specific, the std python implementation for a scheduler says "No multi-threading is implied; you are supposed to hack that yourself, or use a single instance per application."

So that's what I did, I hacked my own implementation of a multi-process scheduler in python:

Japan is especially apt comparison. All Asian countries have huge cultural problems. The Japanese were very good at mass producing supply lines. A few people do the important job and a million drones watch blinking lights on a machine. When their economy had to shift services (which was accelerated by software) they failed miserably.

I won't go into too much detail but there are fundamental differences in how people in the west and people in Asia communicate information. In the west, it is the speaker's responsibility to make himself understood. In China, it is the other way around. It might seem like a very minute detail or inconsequential but things like these are what shape societies.

No, I haven't, at least recently. I switched to tiling about 7 years ago, tried a range of WMs (dwm, ratpoison), stuck with awesomewm for several months, but as it was changing to Lua-based configuration with too much of a flux, I left it for xmonad. Two things that immediately struck a chord with me were multi-monitor support and sane keyboard shortcuts. This post¹ may add something for you.

I learned of spectrwm only recently, it clones xmonad's UI, but is more practical (written in C, ini-style configuration vs Haskell code, doesn't need GHC installed). Painless switch for an xmonad user.

There are a lot of problems with the article as you say. China just bought an advanced robot making company in Germany and certainly will import all of that knowledge to China. Also Amazon is looking to make transport cheaper from China to the USA but it is already about $1k per container so it is very cheap to import to the USA. Also Alibaba is working with Chinese companies to come up with their own versions of products they make for American companies. Anyway you look at it, China will dominate the next 100 years because they are investing quickly in their own capability at all levels while also stealing/making/buying/implementing technology quickly while American's are drifting aimlessly for the most part.

Here is the actual proposal: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/06/23/2016-148...

Proposed Changes

DHS proposes to add the following question to ESTA and to Form I-94W:
“Please enter information associated with your online presence—Provider/Platform—Social media identifier.” It will be an optional data field to request social media identifiers to be used for vetting purposes, as well as applicant contact information. Collecting social media data will enhance the existing investigative process and provide DHS greater clarity and visibility to possible nefarious activity and connections by providing an additional tool set which analysts and investigators may use to better analyze and investigate the case.
Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the expiration date with a change to the information collected as a result of adding a question about social media to ESTA and to Form I-94W, as described in the Abstract section of this document. There are no changes to the burden hours or to the information collected on Form I-94, or the I-94 Web site.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Individuals, Carriers, and the Travel and Tourism Industry.

Weird APIs. I have had to work with APIs that:

- Require all requests to be of the multipart variety.

- Only accept post requests.

- Only return 200 or 404 http codes.

- The request must be in urlencoded formatting but the response is in (invalid) json.

- Function names are mapped to URLs. Example:

do_some_stuff() becomes /do/some/stuff/

I totally agree with this. Schools should train our kids for real life, slowly and gradually. It much more important how tools are used than what tools are used for training purposes. Later when they specialise then what tools are used will matter.
Are you fucking kidding me? How do you even come up with this stuff? Let me tell you some facts:

Manufacturing is the US largest sector by output. Larger than real estate. Larger than finance . Larger than software. And larger than retail. In fact, it is larger than all of those combined.

It is more than 35% of the whole US economy. It has only grown (in output) in the last 3 decades. It has accelerated its growth in the last decade. It is at a record since the recession. It accounts for close to 80% of R&D spending.

It has opened the most jobs since the recession.

>> So is that the logic we use to impose the ideas of the majority of the rest of the world on Philippines? Is oppression by majority solved by more oppression by a bigger majority? What kind of logic is that?

Pretty straightforward logic, actually. If the entirety of my oppression of you is preventing you from oppressing someone else, that is the right and proper kind of oppression. There's direct analogy here with the use of violence in self-defense: violence initiated by the attacker is bad, violence used by the victim or a third party in defense of the victim is good.

In reality, it's often not so simple, but you can still rank the parties on who is "more right", and whose oppression is more justified, so to speak.

So yeah, sometimes you need the majority to oppress the hell out of some smaller majority to make them behave. Good examples include US Civil War, WW2, and the use of National Guard in US to impose federal desegregation laws during the Civil Rights Era. A good example of a failure to do so, and its moral consequences, is the Rwandan genocide.

Now, this all was a hypothetical - I'm not saying that an invasion of the Philippines would be justified on these grounds. Of course not! But what they're doing certainly justifies, at the very least, a condemnation - and it would be immoral to not judge. Same exact kind of immoral as turning away and muttering "not my business" or "she might deserve it anyway" when your neighbor is beating his wife.
Here in the UK it's relatively common to get the tooling made in China but do the manufacturing over here. They're really good at making tools and yes a 10x price difference is not unusual. I find it a good compromise. The unit cost is higher in the UK, but that is wiped out at the low volumes I'm doing by the time and cost savings in QC and the PITA that is dealing with incoming freight.
You can get those same "deep storage" tiers on prem for a fraction of the cost of AWS. There's no scenario, short you of you running the systems at less than 40% capacity, that AWS is cheaper. You have to be criminally inefficient or very very very small (like less than one server small) for AWS to EVER be a cost play.

I should add, bursty workloads like batch processing can be a cost play simply because a once-a-month even that is time sensitive can benefit greatly from instant* CPU that you don't have to pay for the rest of the month. Those workloads tend to be very niche and one-off for most businesses though.

Bog iron [0] production was the predominant way of smelting iron before technology advanced to the point of being able to smelt iron ores. Iron Production in the Viking Age [1] has a really nice description and pictures of the process. This kind of smelting can be done with a small bloomery [2] and the resulted tiny iron specs result is called sponge iron. I wish Dwarf Fortress would implement this chain for environs that lack proper iron ores :)
