Right. If init opts into it, e.g. by setting some sysctl or something, the kernel changes behavior in the following way:

1. Processes that are reparented to init aren't actually considered children of init for the purposes of the wait() system call. Their ppid still becomes 1, so parent process walks work, but when they exit, the kernel immediately cleans them up.

Zombies still exist in this change, as long as their parent still exists; the only thing that changes is that processes (zombies or not) are not reparented to init when their parent dies. Direct children of pid 1 are not treated specially.

2. When init is about to exit or crash, the kernel turns it into a zombie. It then starts a new init process and reparents the old init to the new one, allowing it to do things depending on the cause of the crash. Direct children of the old init have lost their parent, and are treated like any other parentless process as described above.

3. If execing the new init fails, the kernel panics.

This would be completely backwards-compatible. (I might even argue against 3, to remove all worry about init crashing; since pid 1 is no longer required to do anything, if exec fails, the kernel can just leave pid 1 as a stuck process table entry, let the system continue running, and log something to dmesg so the sysadmin can diagnose the problem and reboot the machine cleanly.)

HP to Issue 'Optional Firmware Update' Allowing 3rd-Party Ink
When you know virtually nothing accurate about how the world works, anything can be a source of wonder and irrationality; that's my takeaway from the quoted portions of that manuscript.
ReST can be better extended without creating a variant of the markup language [1]. Extension support is first class [2], and it is by that means that a good number of the core features are implemented.

RHEL 6 only supported using upstart in sysvinit compatibility mode, I believe. They didn't actually use any upstart jobs.
We don't need to invent new physics to do this. The challenges are very real; by various definitions the Saturn V was the most powerful machine ever constructed, and Musk proposes a rocket with several times the thrust. Mankind has not stopped developing spacecraft and rockets since the Apollo era. Whether or not we colonize Mars, we have to start by getting there. I'm sure waiting for a space elevator would be ideal, but if we can do this economically with rockets there's no particular reason not to. We've done this "build a big rocket" thing before. The only thing really standing in the way of it happening again is sufficient motivation. It's not yet extremely politically useful for US politicians to do more than talk about going to Mars, but so far aerospace has proven to be a pretty good source of pork and high-paying tech jobs, and NASA still has a pretty good public image. The only thing we've really been missing is a popular, charismatic leader who can get common people excited about space again. A national threat wouldn't be bad either, but those are pretty easy to gin up.
The short answer is that our eyes and brains don't work that way.

The long answer is... really long.

Actually (in regard to spin) I think it's rather different, these days. Back they, they could rely on a media that was tightly controlled (and a population with a generational memory of experiencing terror at scale); while our media, while less "controlled", were much more difficult to talk back to or even bullshit-check.

These days -- where it's seemingly impossible for an educated person to be hoodwinked by canards such as the Russian government's official line on MH-17 -- it seems they pretty much as to rely on the public willingness and preference for being regularly and openly deceived. Which counterintuitively has proved to be amazingly fruitful, and indeed, apparently one of the major cornerstones of their ideology (See the recent discussion on "post-truth" politics, per the recent Economist article).

At least that's how it seems. Then again, I'm not from there, and would welcome correction (or qualification) from anyone who is, on this point.

I am not a fan of Hillary or Trump, and frankly, I don't think either of them is up to dealing with the Russia that Putin is creating.

Me neither, but objectively there's evidence that Hillary (while not exactly possessed of a great deal of imagination as to how to handle the problem) at least seems to (1) basically get that there's a major problem (and perhaps a major storm) brewing, and (2) be genuinely, viscerally disliked in Putin's camp (such that it seems they'd be most disappointed with an electoral victory on her side).
Externalities are a word we use to describe costs we find hard to model, but I find that most externalities do cost corporations real money. They just often aren't aware of it and haven't developed enough sophistication in their business cases to account for it. The best companies who support their security teams understand this. They understand that broken things lose them trust, customers and goodwill and those things are, even from a purely monetary and numerical perspective, incredibly valuable for a successful business in the long term.

The problem is not merely whether or not a profit motive exists to do right, but whether or not a business is insightful enough to model the full costs and include what we normally let go unexamined as mere "externalities".
I cannot recommend it on good faith either. I've had confirmed ETH tractions (20+) simply not show up on my account due to an "error." Not "pending," but straight up not there. Mind you, this was worth around 2-3k USD and I've transferred coins back and forth from the same addresses before.

I had to add up all the transactions from their logs to figure out they made the mistake on their end. I got it all resolved but to have cryptocurrency transactions disappear after it's been registered?? Just boggles my mind as to how this could have happened.
You seem very ready to assume that the author didn't do his homework, while seeming equally willing to assume that there are some companies who would be game.

Doubt it. People don't care about security. If people cared then other companies would just bother to release security updates and try to actually harden android.
I think you forgot to take into account the fact that that Europeans don't work as much as North Americans: https://data.oecd.org/emp/hours-worked.htm

That doesn't entirely explain why revenues in the US are that much higher than revenues in Europe however. The fact that the current trade value of the € against the $ is significantly lower to what it was ten years ago (European debt crisis) also partially explain the different revenues between the two continents.

The median income in Switzerland is PPP$35,083 and PPP$24,233 in France.

The main difference is in healthcare, which in Switzerland is entirely private, post-payroll, and can easily amount to $500/month, whereas in France it's part public (payroll) part private. And the private part is usually paid on payroll too.

Health insurance is mandatory in Switzerland, so it really is not disposable income, even if you have provider choice.
This is nice :) Kudos to the Youtube guys for releasing this. I'm a data scientist in a startup where one of the things I do is create multi-label models for classifying YouTube videos. My current model has 90 % precision and 69 % recall, while Youtube-8M has 78 % precision and 14 % recall, with respect to the human raters. I guess one of the reasons is that my model only has around 100 categories, while Youtube-8M has 4800. It's like comparing apples with pears, but still interesting.

Can you expand? Because I really, really don't understand. How do you "gear" a programming course towards a gender? I can't recall a single example in any CS course I ever had that was anything more than writing code. I honestly can't even fathom how you would make that gender or race biased. It's mathematics and programming.

If your product or project is not or has services, then it does not need such a thing called microservices.
This doesn't seem to apply to time synchronisation really. Here, the more watches you have, the better your idea of what the time is.
I would contend that those equations are a bit more nuanced than you give credit.

Let's say I hypothetically give you that the Customer sees ad tracking as "bad" (whatever that means ...let's just accept it for argument.)

(1) Then the [Customer] utility function is: (Value from free services) - (Negative experience from ad tracking) + (Possible positive experience from learning about a new product or service from better targeted ads)

(2) The [Company] utility function is: (Value from ad revenue alone) - (Negative feedback on ad targeting) + (Revenue gained from higher ROI on marketing spend resulting in more purchases/subscriptions/whatever.)

In (1), I think people on average don't care about "privacy" related news because users don't see the negative experiences outweighing the other parameters.
In (2), the negative feedback on ad targeting isn't really that large at the [Company] level to warrant much change (at least if you leave the echo chamber of HN every now and then.)

In the case of Yahoo, I still hold the hypothesis that they underestimated the (Negative feedback on a breakdown in security) as well as (Positive revenue gained from trust in security.) Then again, I doubt myself because if this were true, Box would be lightyears ahead of Dropbox; sometimes the coefficient on UI _really is_ larger than that of security...?
No. You could also issue SubjectAltName certificates. Works fine with XP.

In twenty years you'll be in your 70's. Most people in their 70's are unemployable, no matter the field.

If you don't have a retirement plan, then you got to do some extreme saving and lifestyle adjustment (or you'll face even more extreme lifestyle adjustment once you retire).

If you do have a retirement plan, you have nothing to worry about.

"Melanie took over as the math teacher for the girls, however she did not teach math, she used the subject for female empowerment, talking about "how numbers make you feel," "what does a plus sign smell like" and "is the number seven odd, or just different" while disapproving of men treating math like a problem that needs to be solved, none of these being actual math subjects as math 'is' about solving problems."
Relations between the Roman Empire and China are reasonably well documented. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_European_explora...)

Explaining these coins' presence as "trade" leaves a lot of questions open. These had to have arrived after they were minted in the 4th century. The Turkish coins are late 17th century, but Wikipedia puts the last use of Katsuren as early 17th century. That all leaves a lot of intriguing possibilities: Roman trade with China followed by either trade with Okinawa or a "gift" of intriguing artifacts, Portuguese trade directly with Okinawa (which would make sense with the Turkish coins), or something else.

If the two sets of coins are related, who after the late 17th century is toting around 4th century coins? And why bury them in an unused castle? If they aren't related, how do they get in proximity?

Some of these are probably answered by the archaeology, but even so these things are going to be damned weird, "trade" notwithstanding.

Isn't that exactly what HP is doing now when they sell a cheap printer with replaceable cartridges that contain ink and a print head? Are you saying the "plumbing" is the difficult part?

I suspect "economics" in this case means they weren't making huge margins on ink cartridges.
Don't be obtuse and don't misunderstand on purpose. It is very clear that I compared SysV vs. systemd in their service/daemon management capabilities and nothing else.
> I'm curious if we are even talking about the same thing. When/where I grew up, the school had no say in how much or where a student worked as long as it wasn't during the school day, nor did a company have to do any extra paperwork if their employee was a student.

This might be state-dependent, but also might be county-dependent. I've even had multiple high-school interns in CA where we had to follow VERY strict guidelines and fill out a lot of paperwork. When I worked as a high school student in WA I was limited to 4 hrs per shift on any weekday and a max of 2 weekdays worked per week.
There is, but it involves using a standardized structured data exchange format instead of formatted text.

powershell solves this by using structured data everywhere at the expensive of not working that well with plain text.

You should be able to run something like

but you can't :-)
On the flip side, I have had no problems with UPS, our local UPS delivery guy is nice and actually brings stuff around back to reduce theft chance.

The one package I've had delivered end to end by Amazon got stolen because they dropped it off without even bothering to ring our doorbell. (They replaced it for free though, so that's nice).
How is BlackBerry going to pivot? Does anyone actually care about their software?

The organizational structure has been designed to allow non-corporate groups to have equal leadership side-by-side with large tech companies.

Anybody know more details? As non-corporate entity the opportunity is very interesting due to the potential of having access to their infrastructure. The cost of running AI projects on the cloud is currently prohibitive and am forced to run on performance limited machines.
I think it's worth noting, it doesn't just split the code. It also splits the teams. 5 engineers will coordinate automagically, they all know what everyone is working on.

At perhaps 15, breaking up into groups of 5 (or whatever) lets small groups build their features without stomping on anyone else's work. It cuts, not only coupling in the code, but coupling in what engineers are talking about.

The two sort of obvious risks, those teams probably should be reshuffled from time to time, so code stays consistent across the organization. If that's done with care, specific projects can get just the right people. If it's done poorly, you sort of wander aimlessly from meaningless project to meaningless project.

The other one is overall performance and reliability. When something fans out to 40 different microservices, tracking down the slow component is a real pain. Figuring out who is best to fix that can be even worse.
Company stock value has nothing to do with their scaling, performance and customized processing requirements.
Are LeCun, Corrado, etc. actually running this? They're pretty busy, and the website doesn't sound like them:

"We believe that by taking a multi-party stakeholder approach to identifying and addressing challenges and opportunities in an open and inclusive manner, we can have the greatest benefit and positive impact for the users of AI technologies. While the Partnership on AI was founded by five major IT companies, the organization will be overseen and directed by a diverse board that balances members from the founding companies with leaders in academia, policy, law, and representatives from the non-profit sector. By bringing together these different groups, we will also seek to bring open dialogue internationally, bringing parties from around the world to discuss these topics."

This sounds like it was written by some PR person. Google and Facebook are "IT companies"?
Well, it's not as bad as _The Cat Who Could Walk Through Walls_ by Heinlein. That book's protagonist is a gruff-yet-lovable aging sci-fi writer who, despite his advanced age, has hand-to-hand combat training, a hot young wife, and a huge dick. I kid you not, like with specific numbers, in centimeters.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check out the Laundry Files. I have read one book by Stross (Accelerando) and liked it well enough.
Yuck.. politico.... Cant believe everything you read on there.
To mean, this sounds pretty meaningless. If true, I would take it to mean that if you start a successful business in, say, the USA, you are likely to face your most dangerous competition from Switzerland. Hardly likely unless you're working on something like watches or private banking...

At the risk of ad hominem, this is typical techcrunch reporting:

>> "Though Apple is said to be enthusiastic about the project, their absence is still notable because the company has fallen behind in artificial intelligence when compared to its rivals — many of whom are part of this new group."

How exactly is it that TC knows that Apple has indeed fallen behind? Are they privy to the Apple ML roadmap? Are they using lack of open source activity as a metric to make this claim? Is there an unidentified source who can objectively measure the ML progress across these organizations, and using this objective metric, conclude that Apple is behind?

It's a claim without much substance, and paints Apple in a negative light. You could say that this is a marketing failure on the part of Apple, and you might be correct. For example, see the article floating a few weeks ago on Medium (I think) on how Apple was embedding ML in everything.

In the days of price performance wars in CPUs (and GPUs), there were more or less objective (err, almost objective) benchmarks that people could point to. This is not the case with ML/DL. It would be great if we could say: "Across image classification, the precision / recall is X, vs. Facebook's Y. Clearly, Apple has more work todo in image classification. But in Machine Translation, Apple is ahead, with metrics A vs. B from Facebook..

What is happening with ML/DL/AI/whatever is that all companies are using the same bag of words to describe what they do, but the popular press is not discerning enough to make heads or tales out of what they report on, and they end up mis-educating the public.

I don't find it unreasonable to want to have my curtains and windows open after sundown.

My bedroom is at the back of the house and feels like a cave, as is common for NYC bedrooms, so it's not the light in my eyes that is the issue. Having a delayed melatonin release due to the light is more my concern.
Anecdote, the UPS driver I see everyday claims all sorts of problems with their hand helds giving incorrect info or seizing mid route. They are also all working heavy overtime, min 12hrs a day to finish their routes here. That said they are probably the best out of the usual big delivery companies but that's not saying much since just in this thread they also have consistent problems. Amazon likely hired managers from these companies so they just implemented a carbon copy

a better marginal return: it's often easier to work with abstract networking concerns across a system than it is to tease apart often implicit dependenicies in a monolithic deployment.

Do the complexities introduced not have a cost, i.e. are those marginal returns offset by the choice in the first place? Call it "platform debt."

Sorry for the "me too" post, but my experience is a mirror of yours in that I am a longtime Amazon Prime member who orders quite a lot from the site and have been really happy until about the past year where I've noticed a huge uptick in failures for packages to arrive when expected.

In every case it was one of the carriers who failed, not Amazon. USPS has been the absolute worst for me, followed by UPS, but all three of them (including FedEx) have had a noticeable increase in strange events like claiming to have attempted to deliver a package when I was home the entire time and am 100% positive nobody attempted to deliver anything. Who the best/worst is for anyone in particular probably varies based on the local staff of whatever carrier, but it seems like all of them have slipped quite a bit.
If this were true I'd expect them to have less generally mediocre datacenters and network carriers. They are markedly inferior to the US and most European countries, including much less wealthy countries.
Similar businesses like Kroger, Meijer, Safeway, Albertsons have union employees.
Right, but the same people who keep advocating "do one thing and do it well" also keep advocating "Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface," and there's no way to handle that sort of things with text streams. A "universal interface," whatever that means, cannot carry that metadata.
