PowerShell itself now has a packaging system and public repository for modules: http://www.powershellgallery.com/

PowerShell for Windows got this earlier in the year, and it's part of PowerShell Core. So with PS Core, you should be able to start a freshly installed copy of PS on whatever OS you are using, and add the AWS modules with this command:

Install-Module AWSPowerShell.NetCore

(Warning: this command does not work on the alpha release due to a bug - you need a workaround as described on the AWS blog: https://blogs.aws.amazon.com/net/post/TxTUNCCDVSG05F/Introdu...)

Nothing very impressive to anybody that has used any modern programming language, but now your shell has this too (if you use PS).

Everett himself debunked Everett. Originally he said Piraha was recursive. Then he changed its mind and said it wasn't, thus, all of Chomsky's theories are wrong. He learned to speak Piraha training to be a Christian missionary, not as a linguist. His talk here was with a conservative author, not a linguist.

Do you have any specifics of what you think they didn't miss, given that you're the one who has supposedly talked to the sponsors of the legislation?

Legislation, like code, should be considered buggy until proven otherwise -- but with the complication that the people who write legislation aren't necessarily interested in fixing the bugs in it.

Since the amounts involved are pretty small (15% ownership of a company that has received at least $350K in funding) there seem to be no end of ways for to make it happen. Six Chinese (say) dudes each pay $100K to some guy who is a "qualified investor" in the US, who invests $350K in a Chinese restaurant and makes them each 1/6th owners. Bam, hello US residency for all involved.

One fairly recent example of this in the software business is TIBCO. They were making stupid short-term decisions to satisfy investors. The theory was that going private would allow them to reorganize the business and focus on core competencies without second-guessing by investors.

That or it was just a way for Vivek Ranadive to get the maximum payout for his equity stake so that he could focus on running his NBA team.

As a side note, I went to the annual TIBCO conference right before the buyout and it was pretty clear there that Vivek didn't give a wet rat's rear about TIBCO or software anymore and just wanted to spend his day being an NBA owner.

I don't think that setting up custom DNS for everyone as suggested by the author is quite as simple as it sounds.

It's not enough to just come up with the custom nameservers. In order to use them in most TLDs they also need to be "registered" with the registry that operates the TLD.

So let's say you have myDNSdomain.com. You get a new customer who owns NewCustomer.com and wants to you your DNS, so you create these nameservers for them:

ns237.myDNSdomain.com
ns2323.myDNSdomain.com

In order for your new customer to be able to use those on their NewCustomer.com domain, you will need to go to your registrar and set up these nameservers. The registrar will then create the corresponding nameserver records with Verisign, the registry. Only then, the customer will be able to use the nameservers on his domain.
Your mistaken, and this opinion is what the second sentence was for; just because we don't know everything doesn't mean we don't know anything. FTL is likely not physically possible. That's not to say it's impossible, just that it's not likely given the vast number of things we do know about physics.
> SuperMalloc exploits the fact that although physical memory is always precious, virtual address space on a 64-bit machine is relatively cheap. It allocates 2 MiB chunks which contain objects all the same size.

Hmm, this must not interact well with huge pages: either all those (1 huge page-sized) chunks actually take up physical memory or you're stuck with 4 KiB pages.

Transparent huge pages on Linux are a noticeable performance difference in practice. In one of my applications, a coworker discovered that dTLB misses were a significant source of slowness. He pointed out that we had a lot of "holes" in our memory allocation caused by the malloc implementation calling madvise on 4 KiB pages when they were empty, thus preventing them from being coalesced into a 2 MiB huge page (or causing them to be migrate back to small pages). Setting a commandline flag to prevent this decreased CPU usage by 7%.

> The picture emerges. Companies are more like organisms. They grow and asymptote. Cities are open ended.

Geoffrey West's point about growth doesn't seem to mention the competition for resources. That's one of the reasons why corporations and organisms slow down. Companies evolve to gain market share, but so are their competitors. In addition, we have anti-trust laws that do limit these companies. And what is his definition of a corporation? Where do holding companies and conglomerates fit into this model?

With regards to cities, they also deal with constrained resources, both financial and natural. At some point, the megalopolis of LA won't be able get enough water or power to it. We haven't felt it yet due to engineering and the Water Wars, but I question whether sprawl of that scale is sustainable.

And its easy to make this assumption of cities with unlimited growth if you happen to live in a thriving one, but let's not forget White Flight and dystopias of the 80s. Cities grow because people need/want to live in them, so they can easily die when they become inhospitable. As San Francisco becomes more like Manhattan, would people want to stay?
AC induction motors are the most common type of motor for anything other than small electronics and turning one by hand will not generate any output power. They are definitely not identical to an alternator. The armature of an induction motor doesn't have an associated magnetic field so turning it won't generate any power in the windings.

Permanent magnet motors are the only motor that will generate power if you just pick one up and turn it by hand, and they are quite rare (and expensive) at scales larger than a RC toy motor

That's not how it works. If they were too small to be sampled before, they're still too small. Just because they have a seperate sector now doesn't mean a market-cap total index (or even S&P500) has to buy more of them than before to track the index with minimal error.

(Nevermind that, in all likelihood all big S&P500 index funds already own every single fund in the 500; and usually a few more below the top 500 as well.)
How exactly does that work, given Google Streetview
You're right, that's an important thing to consider!

Usually you just have the "substantial presence test" to determine if you are a us taxpayer. which is : If you spent >180 days in the US this year, you are considered resident for tax purposes. Otherwise you're non resident.

Visa like the Student visa give you a 5 year exemption, where during that time you only have to report money made in the US, it would be great if that entrepreneur parole status had the same rules.

I tried quickly looking for keywords (IRS, tax, substantial, resident, non-resident) in those 155 pages of proposal but couldn't find anything.

People writing comments to the DHS docket should discuss this.
Establishments want to project an image of class. It used to be class was associated with flair. The more intricate and multi-colored flower patterns you had, the more wealthy you were. The more gold foil and ornate columns the better.

Then at some point tables have flipped (furniture pun intended) and mid-century modern, minimalist design became a sign of wealth. Which, funny enough had started with "let's make things functional and simple", stuff regular folk can use. So it got inverted a bit, the poor people like kitsch and flair, but the rich to differentiate themselves, end up with blank white walls and dining room furniture made from unfinished birch.

This in part accounts for why IKEA is so popular today. Now everyone can look like they live in Palm Springs, CA, but it is also cheap.

> The biggest trend right now is industrial design, which creates the feeling of being in a warehouse or unfinished building—and that requires hunting down turn-of-the-century factory

At some point someone decided that unfinished walls, exposed wiring and air conditioning pipes in the ceiling means "youthful" and "cool". Probably because those warehouse-like places in abandoned industrial parts of town were places artists would congregate, sometimes to have shows or performances.

Wonder if people will get tired of that eventually, and it will become the epitome of what office open spaces are with associated implications: hard to focus, noisy, ugly decor, loud. At some point we made fun of cubicles, and now we'll make fun of industrial-looking open spaces.
Not a big deal. As Index funds trade more, than more opportunity for traders. It'll balance itself out.

Well that's a title I never thought I was going to see..
It seems that this is getting downvoted, and I want to explain why I agree with the downvotes:

The policy on that web page has two egregious issues.

1) It does not have any provisions for SPAM. I regularly get e-mail SPAM that has CloudFlare-protected links. That abuse page does not even apply. Effectively, CloudFlare offers spammers a 'pink contract'.

2) CloudFlare has a reputation for ignoring abuse, and that page effectively says nothing about whether abuse will be stopped; that page only offers to transmit the personal information of someone who reports abuse off to an abuser. This is not a theoretical; this has happened in the past, and the personal information of someone who reported a site that contained child pornography was then posted all over the net for its users to begin harassment with.

So if you find something abusive or malicious, your best bet really is not to report it. CloudFlare won't act, other than to put you at risk.

Dashboard for running shell commands built in Electron
After the fastmail fiasco (they increased prices, and now old packages no longer have access to the newest features), I started looking for an alternative and came across mailbox.org... I've been trialing for a few days and they do seem interesting.

I just wish we could use an unlimited number of aliases in our own domain, it doesn't make sense to me otherwise..

They do have some interesting features, such as mailbox encryption as well as calendar/contacts encryption. It's client-side encryption, though it's in the browser.

An alternative to mailbox.org is mailfence.com.
More and more people are dumping cable TV. The main reasons that I hear for people keeping it are sports and news. If live streaming sites like twitch can sign deals with sports leagues, then I think we will see even more people cancelling their cable.

The nice thing about streaming is that you aren't channel limited, so there is no reason why you can't follow some obscure minor league team on the other side of the planet.

It's a real book, but it doesn't prove the market is random, nothing does as the efficient market hypothesis is just that, an unproven hypothesis lacking even enough evidence to become a working theory.

That certain funds consistently beat the market year in and year out for decades is enough to disprove the notion that markets are random; they're not.

>given that it is open source the people doing things are under no obligation to talk about it, it is hard for anyone to know everything being done.

Actually, by nature of being Open source there's 100% increased likeliness they'll talk about it - they simply can. It's the thousands of security consultants working under NDA doing code review for software companies that legally cannot talk about it, even if they did want to.

> Anyway, my point is that these sorts of things only happen with OSS.

That's not correct. Software companies have much bigger budgets for security tooling than open source projects. They've got access to clang and coverity as well as a host of other tools that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

> The same goes for non-profits devoting money to auditing code (which the Linux Foundation announced last year). You definitely will not see that happen with proprietary software. This gives OSS an intrinsic advantage.

This is really awesome, I'm loving seeing this happen. But For every 1x security review of say truecrypt, you do realize that Microsoft and Apple would've had those exact same experts audit their own implementations several times a year, right?

Despite the low lighting and hazy Plexiglas view portals, we can clearly see the frenzied fluttering of streamer ribbons, called telltales, in the field of little wind vanes that carpets the exposed test surface inside.

I'm really bothered by this style of journalism which feels the need to start off every story with an in media res narrative instead of just telling you the most important points and working its way down like a traditional newspaper article should.

I don't care about the scene at the wind tunnel you visited while researching this story. Tell me about the plasma wings.
I think the idea is interesting but I'm not convinced it really "synthesizes ideas" so much as treats the neural network like a database of images that it mixes.

Now, I could be wrong, but because of the way the results are presented it doesn't tell me that it's any good at picking up the meaning of the phrase. The results show a single phrase and a set of images it generates. White flower with yellow center, and a bunch of images of white flowers.

But if it can synthesize the idea properly, one should be able to generate a flower of a variety of descriptions. Yellow flower with blue center. Red flower with yellow center. Blue flower with black edges and black center. etc..

From the way they describe the functionality it should be able to do these things so in a way I don't doubt it, but I want to see how it performs on phrases that induce combinations of ideas that are well outside of the training set yet refer to individual ideas within the training set.

Besides the issue of corporate ownership / concentration, index funds are also increasing the risk of a market crash. One of the selling points for index funds is that they supposedly offer great diversification and this might be true in normal times but in a financial panic people will pull out of index funds and drive correlations to 1. E.g. if there's a crash in health care, panicked investors won't just be pulling out of health care they'll be pulling out of the market as a whole.
