As an individual who has a tattoo that reminds him of wisdom being an achievable trait, I find the idea interesting but disagree.

I believe that wisdom is the joining of experience + intelligence.

And like any trait, sometimes you have to make a conscious decision to act in that particular way - it's not possible to just arrive at a state of "Wisdom" and stay there permanently. Sometimes, regardless of experience or intelligence, you will make poor decisions or miss details. Wisdom is about growth and change.

To be slightly reductionist: Wisdom is a journey, a state-of-mind is a destination, and a journey will never be a destination (unless you're planning on vacation to a hiking spot).
It engages additional modes of learning: language based and kinesthetic. Plus it extends understanding.
Let me point out in a nicer way what dogma1138 said below:

Why would they want to do it in such a way when they could have stopped it just with formalities.

I know Israel isn't right all the time but there is little reason to believe they are stupid.
Absolutely. We don't have an ad up for internships specifically (we probably should!), but you can fill out the backend application and mention you're looking for an internship :)

> Gmail is free

Perhaps this is a bit doctrinaire, but it's an important distinction:

You pay for Gmail with your privacy and personal information (you can say they are worthless to you, but you do pay). OpenBSD is truly free-as-in-beer.

You also have no end-user control or 'freedom to tinker' with Gmail. OpenBSD is free-as-in-speech, also.
Thanks Maëlle Salmon for this awesome analysis!
I like overall but I see some usability ui issues with buttons in unexpected places and the lack of something that can be used as task status. I normaly use the collumns for logical groups of tasks so I can work on similiar things one after the other.
I will consider it in the near future.
GIS data structure: Time aware encoded polylines
It's not a failure of Church-Turing. The whole point of my comment is that you can easy construct more powerful models that are "unreasonable" because they don't exist in our universe. It's the same for programming language models.
Looks like reports of it happening during the propellant load were accurate. Explosion originated in the area of the upper stage LOX tank.

The hourly employees, sure.
Those salaries seem really low for Boston. How do people manage to live on them? What are yearly raises like?
Good question! I felt really good about the prospect of selling to Kareem and the partners after our initial conversation. It seemed like a really good fit. Probably the point of highest doubt for me was after receiving the first offer. I was able to stay pretty logical about things, but I was definitely concerned we would not be able to bridge the initial gap. Having David from FE International as an advisor was key to keeping me level-headed. After we agreed on a price, I was pretty confident we would close.

Kareemm, thanks for the quick response! Agreed that in a big market there are lots of players. But even in markets with lots of players, each player will have some sort of advantage over others. Do you see anything like this existing in Codetree or is this something your going to have to work at to develop?
BASHLITE Malware Uses IoT for DDoS Attacks
Intel finally got rid of hardware A20 gating in Haskell. Real mode still exists, and iirc, the processor still defaults to it. You just can't jump into real mode from x64 mode, you need a virtualized environment in 32 bit mode to do that.

It's intellectually interesting. That makes it on-topic for Hacker News:

Fedora folks have been thinking about this problem for a while, and in the long-term we may see the distribution get restructured to address it:

https://blog.fishsoup.net/2016/08/24/summer-talks-purpleegg/

TLDR: There are no commitments yet, but we may see a future version of Fedora Workstation that consists of an immutable, replace-only base OS, applications delivered by Flatpak, and tooling for containerized development environments. AIUI, RPM packages would still be used to compose the base OS and provide software for development and server containers.
Kudos for the worked example!

Looks like the best way to protect against this is filtering private IP addresses from DNS responses. Is there a reason why ISP DNS servers in general would ever need to serve out a private IP?
This is a perfect lesson in understanding the difference between computer and human intelligence. Google "knows" more languages than any human, and how to translate most words between languages, but when it comes to 1) parsing the meaning of the sentence and 2) bringing that into another language, it's generally pretty bad. It's no match for a person who speaks both languages adequately.

EDIT: It's the type of thing that makes me not fear the threat of AI. Seems like we are still pretty far from HAL. Missed his 2001 launch window.
Thanks. Though a knowledge worker sometimes does need to connect their laptop to a TV for collaboration and presentations.

> The main problem is software that is outdated, unavailable, or buggy on non-Linux platforms

What kinds of applications could you not find a good solution for?
The "venting" you usually see isn't LOX, it's condensed water vapor, there are small bleeder valves in the LOX tanks and the fuel line but they are not designed or used for emergency pressure relief.
That sounds curiously similar to a certain geometric scheme.
> they can be sued

This only works in a world when you assume that the person in question has

1) Assets sufficient to cover the cost of their negligence.

2) Will not die to avoid liability.

Given that the liability for aerospace accidents can be quite high and that many people can choose to die without loss of human life, these assumptions aren't very sturdy.
Specifically referring to the cost of the orbiter vehicle itself (or the cost you'd incur building a replacement if you lost one), roughly $2 billion is a decently accurate figure. The shuttle program as a whole, yes, is drastically more expensive.

"The Space Shuttle Endeavour, the orbiter built to replace the Space Shuttle Challenger, cost approximately $1.7 billion."

I'd say that the fact that AlphaGo can play games against itself and there's a clear determiner what makes something successful(ie: a winning strategy), allows it to improve on it's own. I can't think of a way in which you could do this with language without having a human determine whether the output was readable/understandable or not.

Indeed. There's a reason this Dilbert strip, from just a couple of years after the time Carmack was working on Doom, resonated so widely:

You could say the same thing about Chinese steel being subsidised by the Chinese state.

A US court cannot change that. It is the same with the EC on tax issues.

A country can offer something better than an another EU country can, without it being interfered with.

It isn't about what was right or wrong, it is who gets to decide that. What is witnessed here is the loss of Ireland's sovereignty.

If there was any reason there was a Brexit and it wasn't to do with racism or bigotry it was for reasons that would prevent such a scenario as the one in Ireland.
Success = Skill + Opportunity * Charisma * followers effort

Opportunity = Risk * Potential Reward * Luck

Skill = Hard work * Time

Potential Reward = Scale of Problem * Better Solution * Number of people effect

Which finally equals Bull Shit the key to success is Bull Shit * the number of people that buy into your Bull Shit.

> there is far more risk involved in buying these bonds than a savings account

Please forgive my ignorance on this. I think there is a high potential that SolarCity will do well after merging with Tesla so I see these bonds returning good returns.
In this type of transaction both parties end up achieving their goal going into things. The seller wants to sell, and the buyer wants to buy. Both parties likely disagree with the potential of the product.

With that in mind, a question for the buyer - What do you understand about the business that the seller doesn't that makes this seem worth while? And for the seller - What aspect of the business makes it a target for sale rather than growth?
I had a project last year where we had to deploy to a few executives' laptops, running in a company that was so paranoid they had no Internet connection. But they expected to release this app as a SaaS product eventually, and so wanted it built it with a standard webapp stack (Rails/Postgres). For the initial install and later updates, they would temporarily bring the laptops to a separate location to get online. A couple laptops were running Windows and some OS X.

For the laptop deployment, I wrote a Chef script to provision a Vagrant VM, then saved it as a .box file. We delivered the .box file along with short .bat/.sh scripts to start it up. It sometimes felt like we should have used something trendier, like Docker, although Docker seemed like a bad fit both because of the Windows/OS X requirement and the multiple processes (Postgres, Unicorn, Nginx, background jobs....).

They actually volunteered how impressed they were by the smoothness of the install process. (!)

We had a sh/bat file to run Capistrano for app updates, so as long as no system changes were needed, that was very easy. Delivering system updates (e.g. now we need ImageMagick installed....) was painful though. A couple times we actually abused Rails database migrations as a poor-man's configuration management tool. :-) The .box file was very large, and we would have to replace the old VM without wiping out the database. I think there are easier ways to solve this problem than we used, e.g. Packer, but I wasn't aware of them then. I'm still not 100% sure they would have worked for us.

Anyway, this seems kind of similar to your LAN-bound kiosks.

I would definitely not use Kubernetes, which is really intended for a datacenter. I haven't tried Nomad so I can't speak to that. I might be willing to try Docker nowadays---I think it would allow incremental system updates and so alleviate the pain of moving big .box files, and you could keep the database outside of the image. I would still probably run it in a Linux VM though, since I don't really trust Docker for Windows/Mac yet.

But in general, I think the new devops tools we read about on Hacker News are intended for a different use-case than yours, so I would not feel bad for passing them by. I certainly sometimes questioned my decision to avoid Docker, and got asked by a lot of people why we weren't using it (none of whom had experience with it). But I think it was the right decision to use older, more battle-tested tools, and ones that were a better fit for what we had to do. On-prem software is really a whole different beast from webapps you host. It requires a different QA process, a robust install tool, and a good plan for handling updates.
Why was the title changed to include "for firms"? Do we have some British editors here? Strange since the FAA ruling only applies to the US, where we'd call them "businesses"
