Either way, their reaction afterwards was pretty bad.
Resizing the server, so it will be down for about 30 minutes, but performance should be greatly improved when it's done.
This is one of Linus' main points in the discussion, it will change the tone and signal to partners that interactions with the kernel community will carry with it interactions with the Software Conservancy, which most companies will see as an expensive, frustrating and pointless waste of resources.
This comes up sometimes but I've found it to be less of an issue in practice than you might think. Occasionally I have to make an exception for my bank or gmail. If you do have to make a few variations at least it's only two or three passwords you have to remember instead of a different one for every login.
Quoting:

Privacy: An unnamed Jio executive mentioned “deep packet
inspection” to Reuters, saying: “It’s called deep packet
inspection, and what you can do with the analytics of that is
mind-boggling,” he said, referring to a practice that digs into
“packets” of data created by computers for efficiency, mining
them for information. If this is happening and Jio is accessing
data packets to develop patterns of user data consumption, this
is a major privacy violation. The company deserves to be taken
to court for this, as much as the India needs a privacy law.

This essentially implies that they would earn more revenues by analyzing one's browsing behavior, performing analytics and selling the data. Awesome.

Welcome to India!
LN2 isn't combustible. LN2 isn't stored at the high pressures that cryogenic LOX and RP-1 are.
RP-1 has a flashpoint of 110f, liquid oxygen would turn pretty much every spark into a party including turning a lot of materials which are not normally combustible under atmospheric levels of oxygen highly combustible.

Basically once the cryogenic fuel starts to warm up you have to launch or to empty the tanks, the tanks are pumped out into reservoir tanks which are usually below the launch pad and fueling or emptying the rocket is in general the most dangerous part of the launch/abort sequence. Temperature and pressure variance, vibrations, leaks, and a lot of moving parts if anything goes wrong it can result in a pretty big explosion.

Overall they do have ways to empty the tanks, but this is a controlled pump out of the fuel at pressures and rates that would be as safe as one can get when dealing with supercooled liquid oxygen and kerosene, uncontrolled venting is a big no no.

You can similarly see this on larger tanks of both inert and reactive gases, a small propane tank could have a PRV because a flame out is likely to be less dangerous than an explosion in a BBQ setting, a tanker won't have a PRV because if it vents several tons of propane the result would be as bad or worse than a potential or an actual explosion.
LN2 tanks also have PRV's as long as they are small enough to be safely vented but as soon as you go into a large enough volume where venting it is no longer safe whatever fail safe you implement has to be controllable.
The resistance has as much to do with the idea that the need to use something like hungarian notation in the first place is a failure of your tools/libraries. If that type information is so important, why isn't the compiler checking that type for you? Why can't your IDE follow the flow of that variable all the way back to its declaration and jump you to the declaration or provide tooltips/color-coding/"auto-hungarian"?

It's easy to posit that the general prevalence of hungarian notation in early C/C++ is something of a clear indicator of deficiencies in the C/C++ languages themselves at the time. Why solve coding problems with cultural conventions and human dogma, when you can automate it or make a better language with a more formal type system?
Not yet. This is a very popular request. I'm going to implement that next week.
> If it's less bad than tobacco, that's as likely to be usage habits as anything.

If by "usage habits" you mean "usual quantities of material smoked and inhaled", then, sure, that's probably a pretty big difference. Now, legality (and, price, which is strongly influenced by legality) plays some role in that, but the inherent nature of the effects of each drug and their concentrations in the material that is smoked also play a pretty big role.
Yea, it is easy when you are single and are from Europe or US. But for somebody like me who has lot of limitation like ailing parents at home, siblings to take care of and immigration issues then it gets difficult to get out of country. And sometimes you do not know that you are in a deep rabit hole unless you are 2-3 years down there. Then you realize you just grind your nose on ground for 2-3 more years and get done with it rather looking for somewhere better to start from 0.
Unless they happen to have a backup satellite already built, nothing SpaceX can do is going to accomplish this mission in 2016. There's no chance whatsoever that IAI is going to crank out a new satellite in just 3 months.

> We seem too ready to forget that the cancer/tobacco link was itself once controversial.

Because most studies showed that tobacco didn't cause cancer up until cigarettes were invented. And even to this day it's still not really clear to what extent tobacco itself causes cancer.

The phone makers don't care about specific the kernel used in Android. They care that they can access AOSP. AOSP could use other kernels and other licenses, it wouldn't impact Android's success or value at this point.

Go look at the kernel version in Android, even Android 7.0...kernel 3.10. We might be overestimating how important linux is to Android.

OEMs that produce devices end up doing non-free things writing checks to companies like Micorosft for intellectual property, so it isn't like AOSP delivers on the promise to let anyone make a phone, GPL kernel or not.

If Google actually follows through with this Fuchsia project, do you think OEMs will balk because the kernel isn't GPL'd? No one will care.

You sound like a huge asshole. You knew going into this you wouldn't hire him, yet you wasted his time anyway. You make it sound like he plagiarized a book you wrote and was trying to sell his own. He found people that worded their resume really well and decided to use it for his own. It's not like there's some sanctity to the wording of resumes. Get over yourself.
Note I'm also a fan of the Buffalo Commons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Commons
The AH model isn't venture in the sense of betting on very early stage companies.

AH seems to invest huge amounts in much later stage companies. The idea is that some of these companies would be public in the old days and all the growth is happening on the private side. (This is based on things @pmarca has said many times in many different forums).

One could argue that the relevant comparison would be very volatile tech stocks.

Comparing it with the few VC funds (the one VC fund?) that hit the great firms two funds in a row is not really fair.

Edit: To put it yet another way, the volatility of the returns should be lower so we should be happier with a lower expected return.
It becomes obvious from the discussion that Linus is specifically focused on those cases that companies became Linux-friendly after long-term encouragement. He probably took part in such cases.

In addition, he has in mind that companies can abuse the GPLv2 and just do code dumps.

It makes sense what he has in mind but his attitude is too much drama.

A dangerously close analog to the "nothing to hide"[0] argument.

As mentioned in the parent article and other linked discussions, there is not certainty in litigation. The terms of the license are complex, and there can be healthy debate over what is and is not a violation.

Membership in the 5% and 95% is not clear until after litigation. You do not get to decide that you are in compliance. You get to take actions which you understand to be in compliance. If someone disagrees, they can sue.

Taking a stance of aggressive litigation will make everyone think twice about using software that opens them up to expensive litigation.

> An honest, not rhetorical or leading, question: why should inhaling smoke be bad when inhaling, say, ordinary air isn't? Is it the heat? Particulates?

"Ordinary air" is bad for your lungs when it's full of dust, soot, or other particulates. Smog is bad for you. So is smoke. So is pretty much anything else you might breath that includes particulates. Your lungs can handle it in small amounts but it's never good for them and long term exposure can be really bad for them.

The heat probably isn't great for your lungs either. But I doubt it's a significant factor.

> If they are not violating the terms of the license, what would change?

Increased vigilance in enforcement of anything almost invariably means greater incidence of prosecuting non-violators, causing them to incur costs to establish that they are not in violation.

In the case of Linux, this increases the expected costs of using the kernel even in accord with the license.
This is a good point. I've been using the same strategy for taking notes in meeting where there is lots of talk. Just write down stuff, not concentrating on format or content. Then after the meeting go through the notes and clarify. Trouble is, writing even quick notes, is difficult to do if you also need to talk and think at the same time.

Probably you could build some neat solution around this. Like a speakerphone style device with array of microphones to make it easier to identify who is speaking and pick up the words. Or maybe a regular smartphone is enough. The device/app would then just transcript what is spoken and annotate it with names.

Compared to audio recording the benefit would be that going through the written raw stuff is much faster and if you were present, then you can probably recall the stuff even if the transcription is not perfect. Also it might be more socially acceptable to use this solution that to record the meetings.

I'm not even sure why they had decided to make swarm mode builtin, rather than a layer it used to be.

Layer made sense. Pre-bundling it (using either OS packages or using Docker's own image/packaging system) would've totally made sense. A nice CLI shortcuts to get the layer up and working in a single keystroke or two would've made sense as well. Making that multi-megabyte monolith larger is not so much.

Wellframe | Healthcare | Boston, Ma | Onsite/Fulltime

At Wellframe, we are building an intelligent care-management platform that allows health plans and care-delivery organizations to better manage large populations of complex patients. Because the most clinically complicated cases in a patient population tend to drive a majority of the costs, even seemingly small improvements in these patients’ well-being have dramatic benefits for the care provider. Wellframe focuses on improving patient health by providing personalized and adaptive care programs for people trying to recover from or manage serious health problems. We use the health data we collect in order to intelligently allot care resources to the specific needs of patients, paying special attention to the most-critical patients. Through clinical studies and working with large healthcare payers, we have seen that our platform improves patient outcomes, increases the capacity of care management teams and reduces costs of the care provider.

We have a relatively small engineering team at about 10 engineers. What makes us unique is that we have a full time clinical team (mostly MDs) that work with us to break down clinical science so that we can build it back up into personalized and adaptive care programs. We're currently looking for several senior engineering positions (android, frontend, infra) across our engineering team. More descriptions can be found on our jobs page (below). If you're in the area I'd love to just grab coffee regardless of whether or not you're actively looking to move -- I love talking to other passionate, driven people about what they do.

For those interested in some specifics: We have Android, iOS, and web (backbone, react) products. We're currently running most of our API on Rails but heavily migrating toward Scala for most of our backend/data services. Other keywords in case someone is searching: Spark, Spark Streaming, Akka, Python, Mesos.

I would guess they lost a lot less than the $200m initial investment, which included design & development of both the satelite and ground control systems. My assumption would be that only the satellite itself was destroyed in this explosion.

From the quote below, they reference $85 to cover launch, insurance, and 1 year of operating costs. Presumably that insurance would cover some of the costs of an event like this?

Quote from an article on this (http://www.globes.co.il/en/article-1000759794)

Spacecom Satellite Communications' (TASE:SCC) board of director has authorized management to sign a contract with Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI) (TASE: ARSP.B1) to build and buy the Amos 6 communications satellite for $200 million. IAI will build the satellite and its ground control systems, and will provide operating services. The company plans to launch the Amo6 in the first quarter of 2015, and its operating life will be at least 16 years.

Spacecom estimates that the cost of launching, insuring and one year's operation of the Amos 6 will be $85 million. The company has to pick a launch company. Spacecom said that it will seek financing for the Amos 6 from IAI and foreign sources.
