BTRFS is in a perpetual beta because the developer(s) haven't been able to iron out all the bugs. Not even the filesystem format has stabilized yet.

(Open)ZFS, on the other hand, has ten years of enterprise production use under its belt. And versioned filesystem and feature flags, so the latest OpenZFS can read all its previous versions (and ignore unknown feature flags) without breaking backward compatibility. Like the other commenter stated, it has no equal right now. Closest thing to ZFS, conceptually, is the Oracle automatic storage management (ASM). While ASM is available on Windows, ZFS is not, but FUSE might actually let you run it. Might.

You've gotta get the bandwidth to your filtering servers before you can filter it. DDoS mitigation, as I understand it, is first and foremost a matter of having more capacity than the attacker.

Reminds me of a Michael Parenti speech on "Superpatriotism" from 1988. There's no existing transcript I can find so I may be the first to do this:

"The superpatriots love of country seems predicated on the country being 'up there', stronger and superior to other countries.

What happens if it's gonna slip? What about people from ... lesser lands? What about somebody from...Luxembourg. I mean now, Luxembourg is #122, just barely ahead of San Marino in its military might.

So what does someone from Luxembourg do? Do they go around shame-faced? Do people tease them, "Are you from Luxembourg?", "No no, I'm uh...French". And you say, "Do you love your country" and they say "well wha..what is there to love ... I mean a few border police, no army, no navy ..."

After reading it, I totally disagree. They provide numbers, they assume the reader is intelligent and hope they will learn new things and unlearn wrong assumptions.

Yes, their interest is in more people applying, but I don't see them being misleading. For me, they are actually really assuming intelligence from their readers. They don't say "We love foreign companies! Apply if you are foreigner!" They say "29% [of W16] were from outside the US". Which I read as "we are pretty US-centric but you still have a chance".

They don't say "Apply even if you are solo!" They say that some solo project were funded but that they are a small minority and that they do not recommend this path.

Of course this is self-interested, but I fail to see where it is dishonest.
I did not mention the higher = better. I was wondering how can Russia be so great at handling unsafe drinking!

It sounds like you're really invested in the idea of Open Source, which is cool and all. But for a bit of perspective, imagine instead that you were just as invested in puppetry. As in:

How to build a business around software (involving puppetry)?

Would it make sense for an outsider looking in to suggest that maybe you should put that whole puppetry bit on the back burner and instead double down on the Software part, since that's a much easier road?

Maybe after the Software and Business parts are ticking away nicely, you could start adding some puppetry in on the fringes, or as a separate thing even. But maybe not start off right away mixing the two.

Because that seems a lot more difficult.

> On the other hand, if you start making exceptions to the Constitution — even for wonderful reasons, like because you want to ... end school segregation, ...  then pretty soon there are enough exceptions that the document doesn’t really mean what it says.

The justification for the civil right's laws, including school desegregation, come from the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Before it was added there was doubt that the Civil Rights Bill of 1866 was constitutional, for the reasons the author pointed out.

So Congress since 1868 has some say in the matter. The next part is to establish if segregated schooling is a violation of the Equal Protection Clause. Under Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court decided that "separate-but-equal" was not unconstitutional.

The next step required a decision that "separate-but-equal" was never equal, culminating in Brown v. Board of Education.

I therefore see no exception in the Constitution as it a applies to the desegregation of state-run schools.

> Constitution says nothing about abortion, or banks, or contraception, or desegregation, or e-mail, or farming, or gay marriage, or heroin, but all of those topics are still heavily regulated by the federal government.

One cannot simply say that the Constitution doesn't explicitly consider topic X because the 9th amendment says "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." For example, the Constitution does not say that we have a right to privacy.

That, combined with the 14th amendment, is the basis for Roe v. Wade (access to abortion) and for Griswold v. Connecticut (access to contraception). Obergefell v. Hodges was decided based on the 14th amendment, after finally deciding there was no overriding legitimate interest of the state to prohibit same-sex marriages.

Fun fact: America is not a country
Sidenote: A common practice is to take a pre-trained model (e.g. on the Imagenet dataset) and only learn the last few layers for your usecase. This way you can get a well trained feature extractor if your task data is similar, and then only train the classification, which is a lot faster than full end-to-end training.
They may have problems in leaving, but that's not as big issue because they generally anyway had been contracted to stay there for many more months.

On the other hand, unlike factory workers in a totally bankrupt organization, the ship crews will get paid - they get "priority" on the ship and cargo; if the ship gets sold in some auction or restructuring, the new owner can't take possession until the previous crew gets paid.

Unfortunately, yes. If you don't know the journalist, you can forget about your news item or press release being published.

It's sad really, that news items get picked on who you know, instead of what the news is about. If you live in Europe, you're basically fucked. Unless they can't ignore you anymore, like Minecraft.

you need 665 gigabits of idle capacity to... wherever the attacker is coming from. If the attacker can send five gigabits from some town in vermont, and your provider(s) can't get five gigabits plus normal traffic from that town in Vermont to your scrubbers, then legitimate users within those networks will be denied service, even if users on other networks are just fine.

Essentially, it comes down to the fact that getting packets from point a to point b requires a lot of cooperation, and cooperation is difficult. Yes, yes, if you bought me the fiber, I could build you a 665 gigabit network, on the kind of money that a nerd could come up with, (not counting the fiber) but interconnecting that network with other people's networks? yeah, that's gonna cost you. Settlement-free peering is a thing, but it is really difficult to set up and maintain those relationships.

What does that mean?
Obviously if the cargo has any value, then the result is simply a higher freight cost than originally expected.

Yes, it is likely that cargo owners will have to pay extra to get their cargo delivered where they want - they have paid for a service, Hanjin won't provide that service, and anyone else will require payment for that same service. Even if the service (or a part of it) is practically unavoidable e.g. the cargo is at a ship and needs to be unloaded, so someone needs to pay for the loading. Maybe they have insured that, maybe not, but they can get their cargo anyway if they want.
> I would bet money that the attack was truly epic...

Seems like it not only was one of the most expensive attacks so far (and by far the biggest one to have ever hit Prolexic, according to them), it also made little use of reflection of amplification making it much harder to mitigate.

> to the point where it was impacting (or was about to impact) other Akamai customers.

That's exactly the scale it had reached, and Akamai provided free service to Krebs, which was nice of them but only to the extent that it wasn't significantly impacting customers.

I think Bloomberg took numbers from here: http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-67...

> Performance of the health-related SDG index, MDG index, and non-MDG index, and 33 individual health-related indicators, by country, 2015

> Countries are ranked by their health-related SDG index from highest to lowest. Indicators have been scaled from 0 to 100. Definitions of health-related SDG indicators are shown in table 1. SDG=Sustainable Development Goal. MDG=Millennium Development Goal. MMR=maternal mortality ratio. SBA=skilled birth attendance. Mort=mortality. NN mort=neonatal mortality. NTDs=neglected tropical diseases. NCDs=non-communicable diseases. FP need met, mod=family planning need met, modern contraception. Adol=adolescent. UHC=universal health coverage. Air poll mort=mortality attributable to air pollution. WaSH=water, sanitation, and hygiene. IPV=intimate partner violence. HH air poll=household air pollution. Occ risk burden=burden attributable to occupational risks. PM2·5=fine particulate matter smaller than 2·5 μm.

They put that into a chart here: http://www.thelancet.com/cms/attachment/2065481409/206635003...

In that chart US is labled as 42, and Germany is labled as 81. I suspect Bloomberg made an error.
Krebs is the one who used the term "pro bono".

Besides, pro bono isn't literally "for the public good", it is literally "for good".

Finally - that is a ridiculous standard to hold everything categorized as "pro bono" to. Law firms oftentimes take on cases/clients that can't afford their services, pro bono. Because they call it pro bono, does that necessitate that said law firm should continue to fight all pro bono cases in court until either A. they win or B. they go bankrupt? Of course not.
I am very glad this is the top voted answer. Forget investing books and blogs and whatever. All worthless junk. Read the accounting textbooks and figure out valuations. Then you can figure out trading with your stats skills.

Then some books might be beneficial to you but you yourself can be the judge of that. Everybody thinks they get finance and economics. They don't.

1a. A system could be made for bootstrap links that have the addresses of a few nodes in them.

1b. When you have 10 million nodes like torrents, you can go searching random IPs. As long as many nodes bind to the same ports.

2. Sure, if you have comparable bandwidth to the entire network you can take it down. But that's a lot harder than overwhelming a single target. Nobody can send 20mbps each to millions of IPs.

3. This is the method that takes the least resources, but pretty good countermeasures can be made.

I'm so sick of these articles:

1- poverty is defined differently in each country

2- so is infant mortality

3- so is life expectancy (who gets included isn't the same)

4- social justice issues have no clear definition

5- some of these stats aren't even quantifyable, such as hygiene.

...

How much is a percentage of obesity worth? As much as percent of GDP? Or why isn't the number of top 100 universities accounted for?

can keep going and going...

These are political rankings given the veneer of rigor because they have numbers attached to them. The UN Sustainable Development Goals are just busy work for the Social Justice Warriors with nothing else to do but make up yet another meaningless utopian index.

>That's exactly the scale it had reached, and Akamai provided free service to Krebs, which was nice of them but only to the extent that it wasn't significantly impacting customers.

I... wonder if anything different would have been done for a paying customer. I mean, if the attack was big enough to take down other customers, and if Akamai had the choice between kicking one customer and all customers being down?
Again implies it was great at some point, (or greater then it is now).

At what point, exactly, was the US "Great"? Was it when Women couldn't vote? Was it when black people couldn't sit in the "white people" part of the bus? Was it when you could get committed to a mental institution just for being gay?

While there are many things wrong now, the rosy past that such rhetoric seems to assume exists was never a thing. America was never great.
yup, literally anyone could claim that.. bad article
Yes. That's one of the ji-biiru brands. To be honest, I've never had it because I've never seen it in Shizuoka. I always find it funny that they sell outside of the country, but not everywhere in Japan. Because I like ale my go to small breweries are Yo-Ho in Nagano (truly awesome) and Coedo. In Shizuoka there is Baird Beer, which was started by an American -- their beers are too big for me, but they are nice. For German style beers, Gotemba Kogen Beer is very nice, though some of their better beers are seasonal and often not available. In Fujinomia there is a brewery set up by a German guy which is really, really good, but his beers are harder to get than hen's teeth. Unfortunately, living as I do in the countryside, ji-biiru is impossible to get on tap and I have to make do with whatever the super markets and convenience stores bring in.
Red Hat,Google Work on a Way for Kubernetes to Run Containers Without Docker
A very lovely article, I enjoyed it very much since it gives insight into the "syntax" of legal documents in the US.

This article brought up a point I find very interesting. The MIT license (and a bunch of other licenses as well) are very US-oriented when it came to their writing, provisions, etc. I'd love to read a similar article exploring licenses like these from a, say, European point of view. Would the same constructs hold up in a German court, for example. What language is missing or superfluous?
The real shame in that number is that other countries literally let premature babies die without intervention so they can keep their health costs down and infant mortality numbers down too while the US aggressively intervenes and reports all births massively inflating our infant mortality numbers.

Basically, if you are going to be a premature baby, you would much rather be born in the US than any other country in the world.

They can and will obtain supplies and food at no cost (essentially, with the ship and cargo as collateral) but they can't really abandon it.

Do note that calling mayday gives the rescuing vessel significant rights to the ship and cargo. If your ship is not at risk of sinking, that would be a really expensive way to solve a comparably minor problem, ordering a daily helicopter delivery from the closest McDonalds would be much cheaper.
I would bet money that the attack was truly epic

From the article: "The assault has flooded Krebs' site with more than 620 Gbps per second of traffic — nearly double what Akamai has seen in the past."

Sounds pretty epic.
I'm in Shizuoka. I would be eternally grateful for pointers to good wine producers. Hoping to do a wine tour in the next few months, so getting an idea of places to visit that are likely to produce good wine would be fantastic.
Some indicators could be subjective but how can infant mortality and life expectancy be defined differently in different countries?
