The first paragraph of this response is a dispicible belittlement of the rampant racism in the United States. Stop whining wasn't an argument, and having cyclists behave safely and follow road rules is absolutely nothing like being an apologist for racists that don't want to admit they're racists and just want the status quo.

I believe that we all share this earth and we should all act safely and responsibly. Yes, cars kill far more easily than bikes, but bikes can seriously injure or kill as well. Cars swerving out of the way of bikes also kill, which could have easily been the result of your encounter, had the SUV been swerving to avoid a bike.

You shouldn't be forced off the road. Pedestrians shouldn't step blindly into the road. Cars shouldn't drive erratically in populated areas. Bike can seriously injur or kill people, so just act responsibly.

Thanks. B2B is all I've done. I'm more comfortable pushing a product in that area, feel I have a better understanding of what's required and how to make a success of it.

For technical skillset, anything required to specify through to support a system that's probably got a thick slice of Java in it. On Linux.
Procedural macros were introduced to Lisp twenty years before CL existed and quasiquotation around ten years before CL existed.

Not sure why that should be the case and why it even matters.
In the end, language and libs don't matter as much as the actual relevancy of the algorithmic methods. This is where the real innovation and invention occurs, in the ability to mimic human cognition as closely as possible. This is also why side-by-side comparisons are the ultimate litmus and why there is now a separation happening between companies that regurgitate voyeuristic ideas (geocities, friendster, myspace, facebook-aol, snapchat, twitter-majordomo) verses companies that truly invent and innovate hard-to-duplicate initial algorithmic solutions (Google, SENS, Buck Inst., Human Longevity, SpaceX). It's like fake AI vs a path toward some semblance of real AI.
Side question: would you click on the ad or on the organic search result? Why?
Because he hadn't selected early access, dropbox just opted a few regular users into this.

It's a pretty shitty thing to be mean to somebody for that, even if you'd been right; but it's atrociously shitty when you were wrong. And you were wrong. But don't worry, DropBox makes pg rich, and HN loves assholes, so you'll get upvoted for your unwarranted personal attack.
> by default Google will also put your ad up in "related" searches.

I don't mean to be harsh, but you shouldn't be spending money on search advertising without taking the 2 minutes to understand match types. There is no default other than showing you very closely related variant matching (i.e. plural to singular)...

Yes, if you run broad match keywords and dont use negatives, you run the risk of wasting lots of money...but it's hardly a default setting.
How would users know that tokens had actually been signed blindly?
I sometimes tell people about this (e.g. students who need to shorten their papers) and nobody believes this was a thing. Of course, the results were pretty poor back then. I guess there should be better tools by now. Side-by-side comparison anyone?
Those are hardly the only ways of monetizing. There a range of premium services you could offer in app, for one the crowd who is using it to collaborate on schoolwork has a load of potential.
I don't think security is any less challenging, more mundane, or smaller impact than other stuff. I personally find it more exciting and enjoyable. If I enjoy something, I am more likely to be more productive and "do more with my brain" than if I don't enjoy something.
And for anyone, yes it happens, new to 4chan, it is an acquired skill to navigate their sarcasm and apparent savagery. Don't feel left out if it takes some time to... acclimate...

One major reason I use Dropbox (other than the fact that it has, for the most part, "just worked") is to get files from the cloud on an as-needed basis on iOS phones and tablets. Considering my home Internet connection is not good enough to handle outgoing requests (like a server), I still need an online location to store maybe 20-30GB of files at a low price (my Dropbox account is a free one with a lot of bonus storage) that can integrate with solutions like Syncthing or Librevault or anything else. What are the options for those?
Cache eviction, eh?

"There are only two really hard problems in computing..."
Generally I don't finding using a computer for very long periods to be much of a problem. Granted I am still young. I found that sometimes typing for long periods made my hands hurt. I have done a few modifications to make my experience nicer:

- Mechanical keyboard, cherry MX blues
- Dvorak keyboard layout
- Tiling window manager
- Dark color themes for night

Thats about it.

I'm clicking the ad! If someone went through the trouble and payed for putting their website above their website, I'll make sure that their ad budget is well spent! /s
Believe it or not, even in 2016, even with the ad label, there are still plenty of people who have no idea that there is a difference between the paid and organic listings... They just go to Google and click on a link with a snippet that speaks to them.

Personally, as a search marketer, I always assume that someone willing to pay money to reach me probably has a more relevant offering and experience for me, so I am slightly biased to click on ads...

Your question should really be more nuanced. Are you talking about navigational searches, informational searches, or transactional searches. There is different intent and context with how and why people search at different times which probably results in different behavior.

For example, an informational search from me almost never clicks on an ad but either knowledge graph or a link half way down the page.

A transactional search will almost always go to a paid ad, and a navigational search will likely go to the organic listing that points to that page...unless the ad points to that specific page. (this is just my own experience.)
For eye strain specifically - f.lux on all computers, Night Shift on my iPhone, and anti-glare coated glasses. Combine that with getting up every 20 minutes to walk for a few minutes.

Additionally, I use some good quality eye drops like Systane Balance which help lubricate my eyes when I wake up and before bed.

A new thing I've been trying to do for multiple reasons is write out my designs on pen/paper before sitting down at the computer. This has helped with eye strain and also helped me better clarify my ideas instead of sitting at my computer and "wandering" through the problem space in my IDE.
A lot of people don't know, pay attention, or care enough.
Although I haven't tried voth, I feel NATS is better than NSQ from the design view.

Isn't this trademark violation? I'm not from the US, but years ago I used to work for a local index-style search engine (before Google ate everyone's meal), and IIRC we consulted our lawyers and came to the conclusion that this is not legal, and we didn't sell these sort of ads.
Only just into watching her give a talk on this but it sounds interesting, just the sort of thing I'm after. Thanks.
> Improving safety involves convincing citizens to trust police.

Why is the onus on citizens to be convinced (with an assumption that police are actually trustworthy, but people just need to realize that)?

Trust first requires that the police are worthy of it. Given the daily incidences of police abuse, power trips, and violence, they're very far from earning that trust.
would be cool if projects like these could show some examples of what they are capable of ... What results i should expect.
I would love to know how legally and practically this all works in Canada. I feel like it may be very similar, but different enough to matter.
No, it is allowed. You just can't put a trademarked term in your ad copy. You can even get away with putting the trademark in your ad copy unless the brand told Google to enforce their trademark.

There are tricks to get around this as well that sometimes work. (i.e. Dynamic Keyword Insertion)

OTH the smaller companies are usually not as interesting to patent trolls as there's not as much $$$ to be gained. In case of Apple, I believe the damage is related to number of infringing iPhones sold.

Also it would be in the trolls interest to be able to continuously sue a company rather than bankrupting it and destroy a revenue stream.
>He didn't say a word. And there's no doubt that he was exercising his Fifth Amendment privilege, but he didn't [formally] assert his Fifth Amendment privilege. So the five Republican [appointees] on the Supreme Court said, Because you didn't tell the police that you were using your Fifth Amendment privilege, your exercise of the privilege, or your decision to remain silent can be used against you as evidence of guilt.

Wow, just wow. Even when you choose to say nothing, that can be used against you as guilt. It really seems like the American way is guilty until proven innocent, and there will be no let up and everyone is in jail!

FreeBSD maintains a github workflow as well as their more traditional svn workflow to make the project more accessible.
Or an app for that, being the valley and all... you report a violation, city enforces via third-party contractors (Uber drivers).
Or people can just subscribe to a repo. Github provides pretty decent tools for filtering these via mail filters, too (sadly the on-site github notifications aren't as fine grained). GKHs assertion that you can't follow threads via email is false.
rclone ( http://rclone.org ) is the perfect tool for that. It is a command line program which tries to work like rsync except copying to cloud storage providers (Dropbox, Amazon Drive, S3, Google Drive, B2 etc) . By default it will copy the files 1:1 file to remote object.

I use it to share stuff on Dropbox. I run Linux and have never installed the Linux client (if there is one, I don't know!)

PS I wrote rclone!
SERIOUSLY???? I have to beg my clients to stop googling themselves!!!

In all seriousness, clients obsess about their ads and how it appears way more than the agencies do...They often don't realize that it can hurt their CTR, their quality scores, and pollute the data used to measure results... Google built an ad preview tool for this very reason.

Oh wow, I didn't know about that merger... that is way bigger news than the squabbling between the Arduino factions. Arduino hardware is pretty much just a breakout board; you can make one on a breadboard. If the bigger merged company decides it doesn't care about the niche maker market, they could kill off the line of DIP chips that IMHO defines what an Arduino board is.
This is great! Now please extend it so that I can type in a system of equations and have it search the whole of the literature :)
> Also, due to a Supreme Court ruling, saying that you invoke the 5th amendment can be seen as admitting guilt.

Yeah, ask them how they felt about it when they turned adwords off.
Alan Kay also adds some comments at the bottom of this interesting article.
Could you elaborate why you think gerrit wouldn't work for 4000 devs?

At that scale the project would be divided into smaller responsibility areas essentially operating on their own anyway.
I got in to a debate with my business partner about this very subject. It turns out non-technical people tend not to distinguish between organic results and paid results. For example, he personally clicks our brand based ad instead of our organic result when he googles us. I had to explain that we were spending money every time he did that.
The value of software IP in public companies is generally considered to be immaterial. It is surprising, however, that the "risk factors" section of publicly traded US companies does not contain a clause that says that the software IP on the balance sheet is one SCOTUS ruling or federal law away from a logarithmic re(valuation|statement). This is covered by more general "laws and regulations" clauses, but IMHO software IP legal climate risk should have its own subsection in firms with substantial software divisions.
Blind signatures do not work like user names. You would use a new signed token for every authentication and because the server itself does not know which tokens it signed, it can only verify that a token is valid, but not find out which tokens belong to the same user.
If it's a company I like then I click the organic listing. On the other hand, if it's an ad for someone who needs the money less than google does then I do my part and donate to the google foundation.

Over all, I am actually in favor of surveillance in public spaces. If you're in public, you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy—I, as a private citizen, could also easily track and follow your public movements throughout the day.

From the equipment catalogue, this seems very alarming though:

> These use radar to peer through the walls of buildings - currently precise enough to show how many people are in a particular room.

How is that not blatantly unconstitutional? The Supreme Court has consistently affirmed a right to privacy in your own home and that the police cannot use technology to circumvent that right without a warrant.
Also, his name is James Duane, and the book's title is "You Have the Right to Remain Innocent", in case anyone is interested.
I personally think in this space that they experiencing more competition from boards with the ESP8266. You could use the rpi with the gpio pins but for some projects it doesn't make economically sense.

For 4 euro's and less you can buy a board with the ESP8266 and you can even use the Arduino IDE to program it.
Localization is also one of the reasons. For eg.,
I live in japan and when I search for amazon in google, the organic result is .com but the top ad link is .co.jp. And I always click the ad link.
Brand reinforcement. The more you see it, the more you know it, the more likely you are to trust / use the brand. It's simple really.
Why is people always concerned about lowering the barrier to entry just because they felt dismotivated by it?

Reviewer's time is a commodity, especially in a project like the kernel, accepting new patches is not a process that scales well when you receive thousands of potentially low-quality patches.

It's a tradeoff, you get less patches but the reviewers can actually focus their efforts in accepting them.
Exactly. I would add that the same is true of the hardware. You can easily pop the DIP chip out of a classic arduino and build your own circuit around it on a breadboard. Making your own surface mount board is a much bigger leap.
Sledge Hammer! 2 seasons. Ran against Cosby as the sacrificial lamb.
Just CPU right now.
IANAL, but my understanding of the supreme court decision is that if you stop answering questions, that can be presented to a jury as evidence that you may be guilty. A stupid example:

Q: Did you kill Alice?

A: No.

Q: Did you kill Bob?

A: No.

Q: Did you kill Carol?

A: silence

They can then make the argument in court that since you stopped answering questions at the 3rd one that you are trying to hide something. This is why the advice is to just straight up refuse to answer any questions without a lawyer. "I want a lawyer" is not refusing to answer the question, just delaying it, so may not be covered by the current precedent.
If the police are trying to get you to talk without a lawyer, they're the ones being impolite. You're just trying to avoid being thrown in jail.
If the tokens are never sent, only their blinded versions, it is pretty much guaranteed that the signature you get back was made without looking at the actual token.

Did people really read the article ? For me it was pretty clear, maybe it involves some regular load-balancing terms that people are not familiar with, because I'm seeing a lot of bullshit written in the comments, but here is what is described there :

- in a traditional L4/L7 load balancing setup (typically what is described in my very old white paper "making applications scalable with load balancing"), the first layer (L3-4 only, stateless or stateful) is often called the "director".

- the second level (L7) necessarily is based on a proxy.

For the director part, LVS used to be used a lot over the last decade, but over the last 3-4 years we're seeing ECMP implemented almost in every router and L3 switch, offering approximately the same benefits without adding machines.

ECMP has some drawbacks (breaks all connections during maintenance due to stateless hashing).

LVS has other drawbacks (requires synchronization, cannot learn previous sessions upon restart, sensitivity to SYN floods).

Basically what they did is something between the two for the director, involving consistent hashing to avoid having to deal with connection synchronization without breaking connections during maintenance periods.

This way they can hack on their L7 layer (HAProxy) without anyone ever noticing because the L4 layer redistributes the traffic targeting stopped nodes, and only these ones.

Thus the new setups is now user->GLB->HAProxy->servers.

And I'm very glad to see that people finally attacked the limitations everyone has been suffering from at the director layer, so good job guys!

What kind of adjustable parameters? I'll admit I'm intrigued by the prospect of songs that vary slightly on each play-through (e.g. slightly different drum fills, different solos, etc), but I suspect this is distinct from what you're suggesting.

I'm also of the belief that piracy of digital arts is largely a cultural thing & that attempts to prevent it by force will never be more than marginally successful at best. That said, I have zero evidence to back it up. It's something I'd like to investigate, but I don't know how.

While the enterprise vs consumer distictions seems to have been mostly a labeling and market segmentation exercise of the past (now we have a more differentiated landscape with NAS 24/7 etc), the story for SSDs is different.

From the technology side, there is at least the amount of extra flash that the drive contains and that it can use for better performance and longer life times (TBW rating).

Our anecdotal experience is that there is quite a noticable difference between drives:
- 99.5 percentile latency during normal operations. Some enterprise drives guarantee response times, others are all over the place. Note that consumer drives often claim a much higher maximum IOPS rating whereas you can get enterprise drives with a sustained rating.
- drives hanging for >60s, presumably during internal cleanup.
- firmware stability, drive getting unresponsive when maxing it out over longer periods.

If code is important enough to me that I care whether or not I lose it, I commit and push.

I prefer to commit discrete change sets (not features, or stories, just a discrete set of changes that achieve a piece of what I am wanting, dont break the code base and dont break the build).

I have heard that phrase, I live by it and encourage others to do the same. it is especially important when working as a part of a bigger team on the same area of the code.

Teams that commit early and often are happy teams :)

OTOH I use stash constantly, multiple times every day, when switching between branches, because sometimes its just handy to be able to put stuff aside to look at something else.

I dont recall ever losing code because of it, but it is certainly possible and its not hard to see how it could happen.
Yes - It is mainly so that a competitor doesn't show up above your organic search results by buying your keywords and it adds another line item for your brand.
The analogy is apt. #alllivesmatter belittles the concerns of black people and the disproportionate danger they face interacting with police. Likewise, cyclists are disproportionately at risk of serious harm while on the road. Not that complicated. Black people are 'whining' because they have legitimate concerns for their safety. Cyclists do as well. And the laws are written in such a way that blacks/cyclists deaths can be easily swept under the rug.

Stop whining is not helpful advice. It means shut up.

It's been mentioned below that differences in temperature matter a lot. But there's also the fact that erasing a flash block inherently damages it, progressively reducing its ability to retain data.

So I wonder if there's a tradeoff between longer data retention when powered off (by using higher write and erase voltages) and longer MTBF (by using lower voltages). I could be completely wrong here, but if there is such a tradeoff it would make sense for consumer and enterprise drives to make different choices.
