Meh, it is too close to the rise of Goole as smartphone fab, the competition between Qualcomm and Samsung processors and the rise of Chinese fabs trying to enter the western markets.

Their adversaries are very dangerous and I wouldn't be surprised if they have to disassemble a huge amount of their production to find the error.

I still remember that Facebook Executive mysteriously jumping planes after the Koreans refused to make a Facebook only phone, and the plane having some weird malfunction and the ensuing racist banter by American media. Even the Japanese turned around their flights to SF to check their planes for sabotage, and found some strange errors in their flight systems. Of course they were american boeing airplanes, and they might do well to begin diversifying their fleet if you ask me.

This is kinda the point. Those people aren't saying "android", they're saying "Samsung. This isn't going to affect android sales in general, other than the fact that Samsung accounts for a big chunk. Google is aiming to take that chunk, and more - they'll be saying "pixel" this time next year.
Here's a nice double-bind: messing with your brain to become smarter when nobody knows exactly what the outcome will be, is a bad idea; yet, to understand this you need to not be dumb in the first place.
As all national and even some international media outlets have reported on it, we now have a discussion going. When talking electric cars nowadays, the focus is often on battery, range, Tesla and price, yet not about fundamentally replacing ICU cars anytime soon.

I doubt an actual law will come out of this in the next couple of years, but it should plant this seed of thought in people's minds - 2030 we really should produce the last ICU car.

That's the number of "collaterals", sites which are not intently banned, but just happened to share some infrastructure with blocked ones, and suffering as well.

As a most clear example, there is 93.184.220.29, DigiCert's IP to serve revocation lists. It is banned since September 29, don't ask why.
This basically means that GitHub, Facebook, PayPal, SUSE and ICANN websites all are either not opening or take 20-30 secs to load, depending on the browser.

I think you're better off starting it, figuring what it's about, and then, inviting people to join. As is stands, it sounds rather vague.

PS: I'd love to help but I don't think I'm qualified enough in that field! Good luck!
Even if it's 60 km/h that won't help you much, as the average street in a German city has a speed limit of 50 km/h, and driving 70 km/h only gets you a 35€ ticket, so many people drive 60-70 and pay the odd ticket.

Also, with truly autonomous vehicles, travel speed would likely be increased in order to maximize capacity - like it's done with trains, where both speed and minimum distance are chosen for maximum capacity.
This is kind of pre-selection. Immigrants are, by definition the people who were brave and clever enough to get out of their own country and come to their destination. Therefore they are better mentally prepared to succeed in life than general population.
Till today, I've never heard anyone sued over a situation like using vpn but I'm sure we'll see that in not so distant future. For almost a year, I've been forced to use vpn at least couple of times a month for a similar problem.
Boiling an egg, sure. Fried eggs or making an omelette? That requires me to wait for the stove to cool enough, then wash it (and the controls too). Plus I most likely won't want to eat a plain egg. I will add some stuff, bacon, onion, etc. That means I will have to clean up the cutting board too. And there's always some stuff like bits of onion that fall off the cutting board to the counter, so I will have to clean up the counter too. Plus, while I eat, I will put the used fork on the table, so I will have to clean the table too.

The 20 minute number is not arbitrary. I deeply care about optimising time spent cooking and eating, and I have measured this stuff for myself. Sure I can make something that takes two minutes to clean, but I want to eat something more satisfying that requires me to fry something. And cleanup after that, takes 20 minutes (more or less) if you are insane about the cleanup standards like I am.

Exactly. Part of what makes MC so great is that there are a lot of high-quality, well designed mods, which all work together to create a really solid experience. MT doesn't have that yet, and the community's small enough that it perhaps never will.

true, but with Forge and FML, the unofficial mod support is pretty slick. Besides, the problem isn't that modding is hard, it's the ecosystem.
Woke up early after Ohio Linux Fest. Couldn't get back to sleep so I made a SHA1 clock. (This is after our Git training so I had SHA1 on my mind.)

At first I wrote it in PHP, as a wrapper around shell_exec("/bin/date | /usr/bin/sha1sum| /bin/cut -d' ' -f1") with a meta http-equiv redirect to itself after 1 second, but that struck me as inefficient (could overload the server at scale, haha) so I decided to try to write it in Javascript.
This is an interesting attack that I must confess I hadn't thought of, but surely any service that accepts an arbitrary URL has a list of IP ranges to avoid. However, to harden a role in the event of instance role credentials leaking, you could use an IAM Condition [0].

There is actually an example of this in the IAM documentation [1], although the source VPC parameter doesn't work for all services, and I can't see a list of services that support this parameter. This would ensure that the requests actually came from instances within your VPC.

Yesterday I made roast beef for dinner (http://i.imgur.com/b2ZBblD.jpg), and after I finished eating cleanup took 70 minutes (I measure these things), more than the actual hands-on time I spent preparing the food, plus the time I spent eating!

It's just that I am really thorough when it comes to cleanliness in the kitchen.

If you're interested in logic programming, Mozart/oz offers a better deal than raw prolog for practical problems. The reason is that you can express various search strategies using the concept of "computation spaces" in Mozart.
A siren server is the biggest and best computer on a network. Whoever has the most powerful computer would be the most powerful person, whether they plan to be or not

That makes no sense. It's not even wrong, it's a bunch of words strung together that don't mean anything.
Where there not a similar case where then police bugged a car with a gps device, without a warrant, and the supreme court decided unanimously that police agencies must obtain search warrants before they can install GPS tracking devices on the vehicles of suspects?

It also seems to miss the point. If a person has a hidden identity and a stalker breakers into the post officer in order to obtain the protected address, is the stalker committing a crime towards that person or can they just claim that addresses "is public" because the sender "voluntarily shared the information". The fact that the sender has protected identity should give a strong hint towards their intentions, even if the knowingly used the postal service.

If the FBI used a sybil attack and only passively gleaned the information as the "letter" came past, rather than do a breaking and entering, would it change anything? We could still distill this legal issue as intentional protected information being knowingly intercepted without a warrant. It would be a interesting case, but first the court need to decide if planting malware on citizens computers need a warrant or not.
Same happens with metadata access in Openstack.

The access is controlled by source IP (and namespace). I wonder if it's possible to spoof the IP and access Metadata of other servers/users.
I didn't say DMCAs. In my country for example I can't access The Pirate Bay. I just see a "webpage blocked" message. And that hasn't been used, yet, to silence opinions.
I feel this warrants an own thread or at least a discussion. "Troll armies" have been quite successful in quieting dissent the last years in Russia, Turkey and other authoritarian countries. There are theories Russia is partly responsible for the whole Trump spam on Twitter and Reddit. It's time this is taken as a serious threat instead of shrugging off "it's just the internet, 99 % of the comments is always garbage". It's part of a successful information war now when the majority of the public gets their news from social media, which take popularity as a metric for what news is important. It's propaganda behind a proxy.

Edit: also shame on Twitter for complying with Turkey. The time they were proud of being part of social change like the Green Revolution in Iran seems over.
Distilling the essence of your argument, how is it any different to, for instance, heteronormative gender roles a la women for childbirth and domestic rearing? Are societies "easier to establish and sustain" in this binary configuration purely because they "tend to self-organise as such" for millenia?

I mean you may claim no one can force this heterogenous utopia but it is most certainly the future.
Not really. Each individual customer requires much higher liquidity than the insurance company does - it's fairly likely that you'll have to spend your entire medical fund unexpectedly, but incredibly unlikely that every single insurance customer will need to claim at once. Also, investing is a lot more inefficient at small scales.
Pretty disgusting comment right there. Funny how we never hear about drama 'kings' and how we should stop giving them publicity, eh?
The government had a 1M EVs on road target (in 2010?) by 2020. The current number of EVs and hybrids on road are 50,000. Early this year, the German cabinet had approved incentives - 4000 Euros subsidy for EVS, 3000 for hybrids. 300M to be spent on electric charging stations.

I think there is a good chance this could be reached unless the auto lobby does not come and plays spoil sport.
Maybe they are ok with proprietary software in a ring3 user mode context, but prefee open software on the lower cpu ring levels?
Yeah. There are many other civilian industries where electric is simply a no go until batteries capacity is vastly more improved (which, admittedly is does, 8% year on year). Remote towns with limited infrastructure, woodland rangers, heavy industry patrol cars, rescue vehicles. The tried and trusted way of doing things with a very easy refuel process will be around for a long time to come after most ICE cars are off the roads.
Those are all advantages, but MC's unofficial mod support is very good, and has much of that.

The real problem isn't MT's hypothetical mod support, it's that people aren't building the kind of mods that you get in MC: There's no BC, IC2, AE, TC5, TE4, CC, Ars Magica, Blood Magic, TConstruct, Forestry, FMP, RC, EE3, and so on. Those mods are a big part of why MC is what it so great, and MT can't get away with just copying them: It can copy, sure, but it should also have its own mods, and they should be good ones, because otherwise there's no reason to play it over MC.

It doesn't matter how good your mod support is. It matters how good your modding scene is. And MC has one of the best since HL.

Actually what happens in China is that homegrown tech companies will take over the market space left by Western ones, which the government is perfectly happy to let happen because

2. The servers are physically inside China, guaranteeing them access to the data

I think you're right that the Minimum Viable Product needs to "fleshed out" and concretezised a bit. But my idea so far is to try to run one or two projects with the blog / email as only supporting infrastructure, because it's fun and to learn about the problem "first hand" so to speak.

We already did the containerisation of everything (except we didn't lie to ourselves and just called them the processes they are) and discovered flaws along the way, fixing most of them.

Docker wants to find the flaws on its own, so is repeating the last ~30 years of software distribution development.

Every problem containerisation discovers has been discovered. Every flaw it fixes has been fixed. All that is achieved by the modern insistence that containerisation is in any way something new is a larger attack surface. The ability to return to "some fixed point" has always been present and simple. Judging by many years of building other people's software, for fun or profit, developers simply don't bother to do so. None of my work is ever release without returning the system to a known state in order to run the necessary barrage of tests (which, developers take note, includes TESTING THE GOD-DAMN INSTALLATION DOCUMENT) and I've achieved this without the need for chroot, whatever its name du juor.

Tosh. Both Samsung and Google time their releases around the iPhone release and Thanksgiving and Christmas so the timing is completely natural. The fact is Samsung rushed the phone to production and pushed the engineering beyond their capability in order to try and get ahead of the competition. They blew it badly and are now bungling the aftermath. Or is their ridiculously crack-handed and borderline criminal handling of the situation also somehow someone else's fault?
Your argument would be valid if they all exploded neatly when reaching 100% charge, not when there actually is "plenty of phones blowing up out of nowhere".
No. Because you (and WHO) are consistently leaving out the obvious -- all of this is in comparison to "typical" human abilities. According to that definition, everyone living in a northern climate becomes disabled each winter, since none of us can survive outside without special clothing. And if humans could see magnetic lines, we'd all certainly be better matched to our earth environment, so does that mean all humans disabled?

Thanks for your comment you make a good point in that he is applying for a marketing job and his attitude can be perceived as a great example of guerrilla marketing.

However I think you're treading a thin line by focusing solely on the desired outcome of one individual. If everyone thought like that'd it'd be a race towards some pretty unethical and/or immoral behaviours.

This "what matters is that we got ours" mentality can lead to a lot of resentment.

You could give him a pack of cards, and a book on data structures and algorithms.

He can learn the algorithms and apply them to the cards in order to check his understanding. He just needs to make sure that he acts like a computer would - only ever comparing two cards at once.

He can simulate this by having all cards placed face down apart from the two that he's currently doing the comparisons with. At the end he can flip all the cards over to make sure he got the intended result.

I'm sure by doing this he could learn all sorts of algorithms this way, and learn to code in the same way.

He may not have a computer, but don't they say that the greatest computers are the ones in our heads?! He just needs to dumb it down a bit for the sake of the exercise.

I knew someone would make fun of GitHub stars eventually, which is why I was hesitant to mention them.

Yes, RethinkDB wasn't more popular than MongoDB or MariaDB. Of course not. But if you followed the JS ecosystem or Hacker News or podcasts or any of the usual suspects it would have seemed that RethinkDB was quite successful for its size.

People talked about RethinkDB. Whenever someone talked about realtime or streaming data, RethinkDB would come up. That RethinkDB felt so ubiquitous despite its low rank in Google trends or even on StackOverflow speaks to how well the team knew how to make themselves heard.

I'm not saying RethinkDB itself is without fail. The most overhyped feature is realtime change feeds and those don't even work for all types of queries (especially aggregates and joins just aren't supported for that). Based on the documentation it also doesn't really sound like change feeds can work at scale.

But RethinkDB certainly managed to catch people's attention. They just couldn't turn that attention into revenue. And considering you actually have to go out of your way to find out how to give them money when looking at their website, that's not surprising.

Even if RethinkDB had been the best thing since sliced bread, it seems like they would have still failed as a company because of this. To put it into online marketing terms: they certainly had the traffic, but they couldn't get any conversions.
