This is pretty much a non-event. China's more likely to suffer hyperinflation first, than become a currency that other countries use/store.

1.) Yuan is being printed massively (it hit a credit-to-gdp ratio of 30 to 1 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37403363)

2.) it is a non-fully-convertible currency

3.) there are severe restrictions for yuan to move out of the country due to capital controls. max $50/year. also, $15k/year withdraw restrictions (http://money.cnn.com/2015/09/30/news/china-overseas-atm-cash...)

4.) no one is required to use yuan for trade.

5.) nobody wants yuan outside China. people in China are desperate to exchange yuan for other things inside China.
All the conditions are there for hyperinflation to occur. Might happen early next year when europe and China both likely reject China's market economy status, and starts imposing tariff on Chinese imports heavily.
I'm curious if this same concept would be useful for other materials? Like metals.
I've seen a few instances of similarly irrational behavior, and the world may be watching a version writ large in the form of Donald Trump.

While there's an appeal in holding out hope for a rational explanation, I think that's often simply not the case. Take Timothy McVeigh -- executed relatively shortly after his conviction (I believe he didn't appeal the sentence). One thing we never got was a clear explanation for his actions. But then, I don't think that Sirhan Sirhan or Charles Manson surviving decades of imprisonment did much either.

Some people are simply broken.

At Pivotal we ran into this problem in building service brokers that worked by interacting with single, large, efficient shared services. Most services lack the strength of isolation that you are getting for the apps themselves. So on a shared database, queue, cache etc, the noisy neighbour can really begin to hurt.

In our 2nd generation of these service brokers we changed our approach. Previously asking the service broker for a service returned almost immediately (create account/endpoint/schema/queue/bucket/whatever). Now we actually go and provision an entirely new, isolated service instance. Luckily BOSH makes this relatively easy to do.

Essentially we've recreated the journey that led to containers: realising that while the efficiency of shared instances is nice, it's more important to be able to enforce functional and non-functional isolation. So now the services are on par with the apps in terms of their platform behaviour.

The outcome is the same: ops no longer have heavily gateway against bad developers, because only those developers will be affected by their errors. I have a very long analogy involving sharehouses that I will skip on this occasion.

> but a lot of the companies we work with have 5-10 roles and just run them via config mgmt to deploy or now docker +/- k8s, and don't use PaaS at all.

Yeah, the jump from nothing to all-the-things is a pretty big one for people who are solving the partial problem they see directly in front of them. Dynamic languages, NoSQL etc are all much more approachable than their alternatives, because you can build in smaller steps.

We're working on it -- PCFDev and BOSH bootloader are two main prongs and there's more to come. If you want to give any more feedback of kvetching, please feel free to email me (jchester@pivotal.io) and I'll connect you to the right people.
Looking over this list (at least for the ones I'm familiar with), most of these shows really require that you see the premier episode (or first several episodes) in order to "get into" it. It is hard for viewers that come in the middle of the season, or the following season.

So unless it was really popular from the beginning, they stand a good chance of not picking up ratings later on. Which also explains why they do so good in streaming format -- you can binge watch them from the very beginning.
Actually, because of brexit, Europe will get rid of pro-China England, and will be able to impose alot of anti-dumping restrictions to China.
I don't think that Firefly is a show for nerds, I don't do 90% of the stuff that are considered "nerdy".
I'm not into comics, I'm not into anime, I enjoy good scifi and fantasy because they are good not because of the genre.

Firefly is one of my favorite shows, but I can also see it's many flaws, and I honestly don't know if a 5-6 season Firefly would've been even as remotely good as the "Firefly" that fans imagine.

Firefly was very entertaining as a show and it set up a universe that allowed people's imagination to run wild with fan theories and fanfiction, but it doesn't mean that the show would ended up being half as good as the short preview we had.

The airing of the show was abysmal the episodes aired out of order and created a mess it was mishandled on every step but I can nearly guarantee you that if it would've went on the end result would've been considerably worse than the would be show the fans imagine in their heads.

Firefly is your highschool crush that you never had a chance of dating, it been put onto such a high pedestal that I could never live up to it's expectations, and when the fan base did get another chance with Serenity it flopped.

Serenity wasn't a bad movie, it was pretty well in line with the show in terms of quality of writing and performance, and the budget was considerably better but after years of imagination people just didn't came to watch it.

They got a movie that made 25M domestically (The DVD sales of Firefly made more), and about 14-15M world wide, it barely covered it's budget it made like 300K over the production costs which means that it most likely ended up losing money.

If Serenity would've been a huge success Fox would've greenlit additional movies (it's been 11 years since it came out so don't cry about spoilers) or even a renewal or spin off of the TV show even tho several characters died in the film.

But the fans pissed all over it, so I would have to say it's a good show but we all have a major selection bias because of our cultural bias, your mom might like the show but I can guarantee you her tastes are probably closer to yours that you might think since at least some part of your own cultural bias came from your parents.

And again I absolutly love Firefly, and I chuckle at the Firefly references and jokes in Castle (another show that was dragged way past it's lifespan) I do find the whole western/space opera theme extremely cool (one of the few animes I not only love but can actually bring myself to watch is CowBoy BeBop), but I'm not sold that it would've been a perfect show and a hit if it would've been let to run a full season or more.
I had the same issue with a previous patch. The forced update resulted in 4-5 restarts, totalling about 30 minutes, to install and then uninstall the update every two days. Needless to say, that this is a bad user experience.

In the end, I had to remove GRUB, fix the MBR with the windows CD, install the update and reinstall GRUB I can dual boot. It sucked. It should not have passed QA.
Oh, but Joey was awful. No chemistry. Firefly had a period table's worth of chemistry.
Can I vote just cancel Fox keep cancel tv shows?

They did it with Serenity and it didn't work out that well, barely covered the production budget.

Nathan is way too old these days, it would be fun to see but I don't think it could ever live to the expectations of the fan base.

This is one of the problems with cult pop culture items, a lot of the following is based on the fact that the fanbase produced just as much content as there was originally if not more, and what the imagine is "perfect" but also very individual and the illusion of perfection would shatter when some one tries to make into something tangible.

Firefly is probably the best example of "never meet your heroes", it was an epic show, but part of it's epicness is what we've all imagined it could be if it only had X more episodes or years to go.
The staging area is extremely helpful, beyond just making a single selective/partial commit.

Other uses:

1. Breaking a large commit into multiple smaller commits.

2. As a simple "review" system. You stage files that have been reviewed so you know you don't have to look at them again, while continuing on a change.

3. Cleaning the working copy of superfluous changes/files. If you stage the files you want to keep, then clean and/or checkout force, it wipes out the files you didn't stage. Then just reset to unstage all files and continue making changes.

4. Splitting a branch into two different branches, when you realize that a branch could be broken down into smaller separate changes that are both incomplete, but COULD be committed separately. You merge squash to master, staging and commit creating a new branch for feature1, then stage, stash, and stash pop the rest back on to master (since sometimes you cannot just switch back to master), and create the feature2, and feature3 branches, etc.

I also use Magit in Emacs, which makes the staging area like the swiss army knife of Git. I cannot image the amount of extra pointless tedious work that would be required using commits, branches, and merges to simulate the equivalent behavior of the staging area. The staging area is used heavily by folks who like to get a lot of things done with minimal effort required.

I understand the difficulty for new users switching to Git, and I agree that the commands could be more clear and consistent, but beginner (commit all) and novice (selective commit) users should not be left to determine the utility of Git features they very likely do not fully understand or appreciate.
This is pretty cool. Slicing remains a relatively tough/lossy process, since I understand it's challenging to maintain the integrity of the tissue through the slicing and extraction process, especially for something as finicky as RNA, but the rest of this process dramatically increases the observability PDF these neuronal processes.
I started this very angry, due to the title. Happily, it wasn't that way, and it was instead a parody (ish).

I do wish that the general public would use password managers instead of using "password1234" on all of their sites. Would be nice if more browsers built in deep support for LastPass/KeePass, especially more mobile ones, since that's where most 'normal' users are now.
hmm... tl;dr anyone? I wanted to like this, but am finding it rather confusing and unstructured so far.
Adding a DAC to that semi-passive adapter wouldn't make it prohibitively expensive.

Even if manufacturing costs doubled, I doubt sales prices and, with it, sales numbers, would go up much, if at all because margins on this kind of cable typically are enormous.
One of the writers warned before the SG:U finale that it would be really bad and disappointing. In reality, it was one of the best episodes with one of the best endings of any SG series.

This needs a NSFW because on the first try I was welcomed by a picture of a Asian child apparently sleeping in a small room full of random objects while using several Anime porn books as his blanket. I had no idea what this website was about until I saw the Plan9 logo at the bottom and decided to reload the page to find a different picture, this time of a nuclear explosion. In fact, after every reload the image changes to something usually more cryptic than the last one. Here [1] you can see all the pictures used in the front page.

Surely some experienced people would want to do it this way and im not against providing an option to do so. The problem is that it's required and the names of the commands are totally misleading for beginners. "add" sounds like something you do the first time you add a file to the repository, not something you have to do every time you modify it. Don't even get me started on umstaging files: git reset which sounds like an extremely dangerous operation when all it does is unstage files, except if you pass it some flags then you can really loose data.
> There is one series I'm really up in arms about it being recently cancelled - Person of Interest. That one was nowhere close to repetitive, it had tons and tons of space for good, intelligent story developments, and it got cancelled behind the crew's back anyway, because whatever.

The fact that CBS let this one drag on forever without anybody watching it and after losing Taraji P. Henson to Empire (which was crippling) so it could have a proper ending IMO is something to praise them for rather than damn them.
I'm curious what the new technique did to your speed. Can you quantify?
I agree with it totally having elements of Cowboy Bebop. Who couldn't see that right? It is interesting how this is the first comment on this HN post to mention that. Though Cowboy Bebop was huge in anime, I think many who watched and loved Firefly have not seen it. My anecdote - My wife enjoyed Firefly but has never seen Cowboy Bebop.

I got curious too; in the Berkeleyside article about it, they say "right now, posts come from a combination of community users, Wildfire staffers and local news partners, including Berkeleyside. To verify information, and decide whether or not to push out an alert to the community, the team checks posts against what is released by authorities and the local media, too."
Rewriting bad writing
Speaking of Border Patrol, you can always tell the ones that have been recently rotated up from the Mexican to the Canadian border crossing stations. Long-time Canadian border regulars saunter out of the office, casually ask for your passport and barely scan it over, and ask you how your trip was before waving you on through. The officers that are used to the other border come out with one hand on their pistol, on red-alert, spring-loaded to react at the slightest thing.

It makes for quite a contrast, particularly at a place like the sleepy border crossing closest to where I grew up; 95% of the traffic through it was log trucks or Canadian locals that crossed over to buy cheaper gas at the station just across the line on the US side.

IOC = Initial Operating Capability
FOC = Full Operating Capability

Most contracts have tranches of payment released with each phase: concept, IOC, FOC. IOC has also come to mean, "This works, but we aren't sure enough we got all the bugs." So... I suppose it's more like a military Beta.
There are many comparisons, but you should find them yourself so you know where they came from.

IMO, big benefits in billing per minute rather than hour, discounts applied automatically when running longer instances, up to 30% off for a whole month, rather than having to reserve it up front for discount, and instances that can be preempted vs the spot market(can save something like 70% off normal price). There's also the ability to customize proc and memory to your workload, so you're not paying for one or the other if you don't need it. They also recently added a feature that tells you if your vms are oversized for the work they've been doing, and what size would be most cost-efficient.

I've been using it for a dozen or so personal projects, and never paid more than $30 or so per month. That's probably about 50% less than what I was using at AWS, and I would never have had the ability to use tools like bigquery (redshift on AWS), hadoop, etc, just because I wouldn't want to spin up a cluster for hours. All the logs from all those projects are costing a few cents per month in bigquery.
Absolutely a good point. Firefly did fail for a reason. I merely don't think that reason was that the potential audience was small. The problem is more likely that, as you mentioned, the launch was disasterous, and as a result, by the time most people got wind of series it was already dead.
Arrested Development especially rewarded loyal, in-order viewing and hurt "random" (seeing any episode out of order while switching channels) because the show focused a lot on jokes or plot devices made episodes before.

My girlfriend works in fine dining in NYC and we were just talking about this. Apparently her restaurant group tried a similar service a couple years ago. The big problems were getting everything integrated (POS, OpenTable, everything else) in a way that wasn't buggy and then providing that information to the servers in a way that made sense. At a high end (multiple Michelin stars) restaurant you can't have the servers walking around with iPads and space is at a premium. They also had trouble tuning the amount of information that the servers were seeing so that it was quickly actionable.
This is the first research where my first reaction was "Noooo, don't do that!" I don't want my axons glowing green.

In case you wanted to disable automatic updates on Win10 (and for some reason didn't do it yet), set your WiFi connection as metered in advanced options. This prevents from autodownloading/installing/rebooting when you just left to make yourself a coffee.

You get notified when an update is available, so you can wait a few days and see if there's no news on front page of HN about update being hopelessly broken, and then you can proceed with an update. You're welcome.

The New Star of Germany’s Far Right
This is what I worry about the MOOC's: a lot of the best teachers I've had personally, and observed (with children), drew a vast tree of pedagogical techniques, but used their evaluation of a student's individual personality/psychology to inform them of which node/branch to select next. The most sophisticated MOOC's ever get is to brute-force try one node after another, if they support presenting the same material in a different way at all. And there isn't a classification system that I'm aware of to organize all the branches, especially around annotations that say "this branch appropriate if personality/psychology tends towards <this>" (yet another ontological terra incognita, I'm not aware of any classification system to describe students' pedagogical personality/psychology, which can change even depending upon context like subject matter, mood, etc.).

MOOC's are a step in the right direction, but far, far from a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer idealized vision that I would like to see.
And on the other hand Windows 10 has been updating without issue for me on my home machines, I've only caught glimpses of any of them restarting for updates (It schedules them for times when the PC isn't usually in use).
