Edit: It could be that I overreacted. I would recommend to read the full quote after the link and not conclude based on small out of context quote.

If you want a historical analogy that helps you to better connect with the situation under question then I would recommend to think about immigration of Germans into South America after WWII.

This is what at least comes into my mind. I do not know if this analogy would be fair to either parties.

Also it does not follow that I would recommend you to support one of the candidates based on this. If you happen to be an American.
You've edited your original post too many times since I responded it's now unclear what I was protesting, but with this post I think we're actually arguing the same thing. I agree that the Trump campaign is giving voice to populations previously unheard, but that's also what Bernie Sanders did. And while Sanders was obviously somewhat of a moonshot candidate, he had firm beliefs and some plans. Trump is a purely speculative candidate who has flip-flopped on every issue too many times for anyone to count, in an attempt to speak for as wide an audience as possible, uniting them against common enemies. What he does not have is any realistic plans of doing anything good.

The subtitle to the motherjones article is literally: "How Donald Trump took a narrative of unfairness and twisted it to his advantage."
It's more likely that they named it 7 to put it as a direct competitor to the iPhone 7 Plus.
which is a PITA to do multi-line grep... variable field based searching and multi-system cross-comparison... but sure.. if it works for you.. then great
We use EK but not L, instead writing own daemon that rsyslog sends loglines to and bulk inserts them into ES. We use kibana & grafana for visualization. We index approx 20k log-lines per sec (at peak) w/o a sweat (whereas logstash would choke up fairly often). A little over half a billion log lines a day - retained for a week - costs us around $800/mo on GCE (for storage & compute).
I'd like to see more summaries on HN. I'm often reading HN on my phone, and the connection is often too slow to read the actual article.

A summary will also help with paywalled articles.
The FAQ's tone of dismissive superiority with respect to overcommit is very offputting. The author suggests that only people who don't know how virtual memory works can oppose overcommit; it's curious then how the author reveals some virtual memory knowledge gaps. Specifically, the difference between address space reservation (which does not require backing storage) and commit charge (which does) seems lost on him.

Yes, you need backing storage to handle the possibility that a process might actually make copies of all COW pages (that's what we mean by "commit charge" --- the number of pages the kernel has voluntarily promised to deliver at some point. The right way to reduce the pressure on commit that these mappings cause is to not have so many of them in the first place. There's no reason PIC shared libraries need to be PROT_WRITE; there's no reason big programs like web browsers need to use fork(2) instead of the VM-efficient vfork(2). (Small programs can use fork and its COW commit charge without causing real problems, even on non-sloppy (err, "strict overcommit") systems.

Linux's default overcommit policy is terrible in part because it discourages people from learning about the difference between reserving address space and actually reserving memory, and the "FAQ" just confuses the issue more.
That's a good point, and I applaud the Wall Street Journal for their journalistic efforts. I'm thinking we should get a WSJ subscription in our company.

I'm not so sure if Hacker News should be an outlet for breaking news. The HN platform is not very well suited for real-time news in general.

Myself, I use Hacker news for "daily important news" much less than breaking news.
She must learn German. The thing with Berlin is that there are a lot of startups with foreign people, and a lot of Germans speak English. But when you want to do normal day things as going to the market you need German to understand what are you buying and to talk with the people. It is not like other countries where you cannot get a job or life if you don't speak the language. You can get a job in Berlin as a English speaker but you must learn the local language for the day to day things.

Whatever solution you use to store your logs, I would suggest to generate them as events. This will help you to reconcile two important aspects that have been separated for too long, with no real reason : logging and analytics. It may require a little bit more effort but I believe it's worth it.

I've expanded on this idea here [1]

Before I click the link: Berlin is cheaper than London.

Edit: And I was right, haha.

While London is one of the most expensive cities in the world, Berlin is cheap for German conditions. At least the parts that haven't been gentrified yet ;)

Berlin is really cool and has lots of alternative people and seems to be the only german city with a bigger start-up scene, but it's poor AF. I'm living in Stuttgart and while I prefer to hang in Berlin, the money is in the south.
I wish I had a startup and I could just throw a dart at a map and go live and work there.
Aka the IBM model.
The problem with Alternate Data Streams is interoperability. In many cases, the data will silently be lost when copying between different file systems and/or operating systems. I believe Windows itself will warn you when trying to perform an operation that would discard alternate data streams (for example copying from NTFS to FAT), but many tools would likely silently strip it.

Think of things like any of the cloud drives, bittorrent, screen-sharing or IM software. Are they aware of ADS (or equivalent for that platform). What would the right thing to do be when syncing between platforms that have support, and ones that do not?
It's a good point. PNG uses DEFLATE internally for the compression, it would be interesting to see what would happen if you used bzip2 instead, which uses the Burrows-Wheeler transform.
I use to work with cloudwatch + awslogs and works like a charm.
I think this is a parallel usage. At the last SV company I was in, "all-hands" was the set name for a recurring meeting (scheduled way in advance) with a set itinerary similar to what's in the article (announcements, staff anniversaries, etc). They were never used for sudden announcements or bad news.
But if there really is a large group that does have real problems so that they need fundamental change in politics --
why then do they need a fact-free, intimidating, racist, conspiracy-addicted non-politician like Trump to fight for their cause? Do they vote for a guy like that because they feel the system must crash, and this is the only way to do it?
While the author makes good points about the relative affordability of Berlin, one does have to wonder what the general plan for newsletter profitability is.
Is there a trial for the pro-version.
In case somebody wants to test the sidecar functionality, full text search capabilities...
Most times yes. In practice I suspect most deployed servers have something like

ln -sf /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash

Infinitely more entertaining is running unzip at the command prompt results in /usr/bin/unzip which is extremely limited compared to (installed via pkg) infozip at /usr/local/bin/unzip. At least one specific example I ran into was Play/Activate Scala framework can be convinced via "dist" target to make a zip file of all the jars necessary to run a project, and you guessed it, /usr/bin/unzip doesn't understand that zipfile format and /usr/local/bin/unzip works perfectly. So you can't have a script that automatically runs unzip because you need to run /usr/local/bin/unzip specifically.

Lack of a Debian-like alternatives system is really the only systemic problem I run into on a regular basis. Then again it creates an inconsistency across multiple servers and I would not enjoy playing "update-alternatives whack a mole" to figure out which of my frontends have infozip provide unzip, and which fail.
> This has done untold damage to their brand in the eyes of the average consumer..

This seems like a huge overreaction, even if their phones are exploding - why would that matter if I'm looking at a monitor? They've produced millions of non-exploding product, so this is just some mistake that dropped in.

The average consumer won't remember this in a month.
Using Papertrail as well, but I really miss my terminal and awk, grep and less here. Or even regex search. I know I can download the archives, and I do that, but that puts the output of all in one file. Saving different topics in different files just makes sense, IMHO...

"Previous economy wide transformational changes didn’t happen in a short space of time. "

Hmm yeah thats true. But since the industrial revolution there has been a lot of changes. Especially in the way of infrastructure and communication. Industrial revolution took 50 years, the advent of the smartphone has only taken 5 years.
Ah, I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with systems programming concepts to help there, sorry.
Wow, 20 square meters for €480? That doesn't register as affordable on my books (even with utilities included).
I don't have a link to a story to support this, but I heard they make more money off the sell of parts (screen panels, memory, etc) to Apple for iPhones than they do selling their own phones. Not sure if this is still true, but I do know it was true at one point.
I don't think they want us to have this discussion :) - http://imgur.com/a/GdMkz

According to me, this should be a top discussion. But the ranking algorithm seems to be way off, like we have been punished in the algorithm.

Love how they are still using OSX as the OS name. #noshitgiven
Given that other people in this thread seem to be capable of disucssing the paywall, complaints about it obviously aren't wasted on the community at large.
Yes, I find it strange too. Why can't they simply replace the battery with some other model? Even if it's internal, replacing it would cost way less than writing off the entire line.
Does this have anything to do with BREXIT?
Yup. Although I would note that there are also cheaper UK cities! Consider Liverpool or Bristol, for example.
I completely disagree. People love shiny and they have a short memory even though there's this wonderful thing called the internet that can remember things for them. All Samsung has to do is come out with something shiny and people will be buying it and blogging about it.

People still buy Ford cars even though they made the Pinto and their SUVs used Firestone tires. People still buy Toyota without even a thought as to whether the brakes work. People still buy any car whatsoever with an airbag without worrying if it'll spontaneously explode and, if not kill them, shred their face.
Yeah, it just serves to remind you that you're just a small fish in a sea of people...
I rarely down-vote but you've earned it.
Actually read the article and then articulate a reason to disagree with the article and I'll un-down-vote you.

"Donations can also undermine long-term efforts to increase access to affordable vaccines and medicines. They remove incentives for new manufacturers to enter a market when it’s absorbed through a donation arrangement. We need competition from new companies to bring down prices overall — something we don’t have currently for the pneumonia vaccine.
Donations are often used as a way to make others ‘pay up.’ By giving the pneumonia vaccine away for free, pharmaceutical corporations can use this as justification for why prices remain high for others, including other humanitarian organizations and developing countries that also can’t afford the vaccine. Countries, which continue to voice their frustration at being unable to afford new and costly vaccines such as PCV, need lower prices as well to protect children’s health."
While that is true (and I agree in principle), I'm actually fairly sure that a promise "the current license is GPLv3" is as legally binding as actually putting the license file in the repo -- since it's a statement by the copyright holder of the licensing.

The wording wasn't "we might license it under X", or "I'm considering licensing it under X". The exact wording is:

> I'll have a license added tonight at some point. It will be GNU GPLv3.

Which to me reads as "I'll have a license [file] added tonight...". But meh, that's for courts to decide not random people on the internet cosplaying as lawyers.

EDIT: This is all moot anyway because the author did end up using GPLv3[1].

Yeah. If you're shooting for affordability, Athens is a much better bet. 20sqm studios below €100/month in the heart of the capital.

(Good luck getting decent internet, though.)
The question is, "What replaces the absence of Galaxy Note 7 for another year or so (until the next version comes out)?" Note 5? A re-branded Note 7 with a slightly different look and hardware? Would Samsung junk the Note name and come up with some other name to bury this? My guess is that the Note name would go away completely or be superseded by a different name (with a prefix or suffix). That name now deserves to be erased and forgotten as quickly as possible.
Hey! I'm the author! This is pretty cool to be number one on Hacker News. The idea behind the newsletter is to build a brand which makes liberal metropolitans comfortable with hearing viewpoints outside their own. Then I can monetise it! :)
I was curious so I went to check for historical Nobel prizes. Wikipedia helpfully has the list of all laureates by country along with their birth origin (0). 98 out of 362 American Nobel laureates are born outside of the US (Bengt R. Holmström was listed under Finland for some reasons, otherwise it would be 99/363).

Also, first American Nobel laureate was Teddy Roosevelt. Now that is a surprise.

I agree, my experience after a week of work in Berlin was that a lot of the restaurants I visited, the waitress couldn't speak English at all. Or taking a cab was sometimes quite an effort to communicate as well.

Even more strange, Berlin (and perhaps much of Germany, I don't know), places much greater emphasis on cash than on electronic payments like credit cards. I gave a credit card to a vendor once and they looked like they couldn't figure out what it was. In fact, as they were trying to understand it, I motioned that they were in fact studying it upside down! Other restaurants would tell me it was the first credit card they had seen in weeks, and the owner simply hadn't bothered to bring the credit card machine in from his house in a long time. Not a problem, just a bit strange to me.

Berlin is a neat place, though, and I love German food (and beer) a lot, but it cannot be overstated how you quickly come to realize that you currently take for granted speaking the same language as everyone around you, and unless you know German already, that convenience will evaporate immediately upon moving there. Even all the Holywood movies and U.S. TV shows are dubbed into German -- it is the largest overdub market in the entertainment industry, because Germans generally place low emphasis on learning other languages (just like Americans do).
Let me guess: because the UK is a rentier hell hole?
Learning enough German for daily things is probably not a problem at all, but can you deal with authorities (business licenses, taxes, mandatory reports etc) in English or very broken German?
They could probably drop in a replacement with what, half the capacity? But that impacts the whole design of the 'phone. There's a huge difference between a phone that lasts one day and a phone that lasts half a day. So they'd be looking to lower the screen brightness, maybe find a less power-hungry processor and/or LTE chip,.... by the time you've finished accomodating that kind of change it's a new model anyway.
I don't know. But I can't dismiss observations just because I don't have a rationality for it.
Ask HN posts probably have a higher bar as they're often lower quality or less interesting than news?
>which is marketing speak for all Samsung SLC based drives, which means budget drives

Consumer SSDs use MLC. Enterprise SSDs use SLC almost exclusively or eMLC which has less issues than consumer grade MLC.

MLC is about storing multiple bits in a single tiny cell. This results in more capacity at the cost of total write cycles, read errors being more likely and slower read and write speeds.

TLC is MLC but with three bits per cell.
Samsung is too much of South Korea's GDP to go bankrupt. For Samsung to fail, the Korean economy would have to also fail, which is possible but unlikely.

I think that if you compare Samsung's Note 7 to Nokia's Burning Platform, the prospects for Samsung are significantly better (Nokia not only destroyed the value of 100% of their inventory but also all of their future inventory until the OS changeover happened; Samsung has a branding problem but can release another device).

Honestly, they should just rename it to something else (at the very least not the Note, but maybe even call it something other than Samsung in the US).

Edit: I do agree with your supposition that mobile is the primary revenue driver for Samsung, but I don't actually think they're generating a profit from mobile any more. I continue to contend that the only company that makes a profit on mobile is Apple and they continue to dominate that market for reasons that are fairly obvious (supply chain, silicon superiority, and software that works faster for the workloads consumers run on their devices).
I thought the "older" published algorithm was only an algorithm with sum of upvotes on the topic (and comments) with a time decay.

Seems reasonable, but i don't think it true ( considering Ask HN: are just texts in the front of the title).

Edit: It's definatly not in the algorithm, it's a manual ban of some sort :)
Dresden is even better. I moved from Houston, TX to Dresden and I'm very happy with my choice. Technically it's more interesting, as the University and high tech companies here are much more advanced (i.e the l4 microkernel is from here), prices are the same, and Dresden is a much more beautiful town than ugly Berlin. Lots of English speaking foreigners, and people are more friendly. For startup's there's only one or two meetup points and helpers/investors but still better than Houston or Austin.

If going for cheap, Wroclaw or Prague would be better.
Hi there - I'm the author of this piece. I don't actually speak German. I'm trying to improve - however, I wouldn't say it's required in Germany to start something on your own. Many of the meetups are in English and everyone I've spoken to is fluent. I think it's another story if you're trying to get a job though...
It is affordable compare to London where the same thing it is probably 3 times more expensive.
There are other cities with more affordable prices (Athens) but obviously the startup environment is not the same there. But Berlin it is catching up with London, so it is worth to consider.
I really wish they would. They are the ones that listened to people who were sick of how tiny the iphone and all of its clones were and went deep on a big phone. I still have a Note 3 and have little problem with it. I had no interest in the 7 because of the curved edges which I think is a stupid thing to do with phone screens. I will probably get a Pixel at some point and switch over to fi, but if Samsung does something interesting I will consider it.
Well, someone who could live and start a business in London probably has much money to start with.
It does not help if population of poor multiplies itself faster than the capital can crow or there are resources on Earth. :(

I think that it is foremost important thing to get the population gains under control. If this has happened then we have plenty of time of to figure out how to actually fairly share our home we call Earth.

Current trends do show that things are moving to towards normalization, but it is not yet conclusive.
based solely on my experience, apart from the part about full speed (i really wasn't going fast, maybe 20 kmh but terrain was bad), yes.

If I include what fiancee sees on emergencies, which most people don't even want to know about but it's real life anyway, then wear it everywhere on bike.

you can see people getting quite emotional feeling they know what's best for them. Usually never had an accident, so it cannot happen to them. Whatever, I wouldn't push it, use whatever you want. But 1) you will cover all medical cost caused by lack of helmet in case of accident and 2) I would be cautious what to push on kids, but once people get emotional on the topic any discussion is over, as seen in this thread
I wonder what this means for Chrome Remote Desktop: will it become integrated in Chrome itself? It's basically the only app (not extension) I use daily.
Why won't they admit their system was flawed? They may be right in considering accounts funded with the same payment source as linked accounts, but they never notified both accounts about the impending closure.
OTOH demonstrating that none of the John Smiths in the state are the one named in the paperwork might be more difficult.

Google does not hire with a work-sample test. tptacek's claimed process is therefore easy to distinguish from Google's. Maybe better, maybe worse.

It's not "hard" to implement fork without overcommit. tl;dr: have a big swap file. Don't worry, that swap file won't actually be used.

Really, fork works fine in a strict accounting world. You can turn off overcommit now on any Linux system, and in practice, nothing will go wrong. While it's true that fork requires that the system prepare for the possibility that the child might dirty all its parent's memory, it's just a matter of book-keeping to do and involves no actual inefficiency. If you have enough swap, the kernel can use that swap as memory "reserves" and allow even huge processes to fork.

Big programs (of which there are few) really should all be modified to use vfork, though, which doesn't make COW mappings and so doesn't incur the commit charge hit.
Keypairs are not useful identities though. They don't encode any meaningful attributes (e.g. name) and it's too hard to manage them.
