Fantastic! Anyone know if it's the first Literature Nobel given to a pure singer-songwriter?

Here are three Dylan songs with big literary value:

* "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts": an amazing example of musical story-telling

* "The Ballad of a Thin Man": Some of the most post-modern lyrics ever put to music...

* "Like a Rolling Stone": One of the most influential songs of all time
Blooming flowers is a metaphor used by orators from practically every country and kingdom in the course of human history. I don't think this particular formula has anything to do with the hundred flowers campaign, in spirit or in origin. "Let a thousand flowers bloom" has been used by people opposed to heavy government regulation in the tech sector for decades. I even remember the head of FINRA using some variation of the phrase in the Senate hearings on Bitcoin (somewhat surprisingly).

EDIT: Actually, looking into the history of this particular phrase and its use in the West, I may be mistaken here.
Maybe you haven't been paying attention, but there's a lot of friction in very concrete cases of mockery like various sports team names and mascots, especially the Cleveland Indians.

Their mascot is literally a caricature of an "indian". It's from a time when that sort of thing was acceptable because we didn't have to listen to such voices. We'd just sweep them off to reservations and strip them of their dignity and rights. Great times.

So if you want to presume Oriental isn't a slur, go right ahead and keep using it. Just don't raise a fuss if someone comes to you and says "You might not want to use that word, it's got certain connotations."

>Huff is full of titles Trump is sexual predator without facts, just talks.

We have, on record, him describing sexual assault. With his own words. On the other hand, some of the people who now are claiming Bill is a rapist once testified under oath that he did _not_ rape them. On top of the fact that there is zero evidence in favor of that statement.

That's the difference. And you would definitely know this if you weren't being disingenuous.
Mappointer – New Startup for Location Marketing
The Danish government mandated that you should be able to use both OOXML and ODF when communicating with the any branch of the government by 2008. As it turned out, when January 2008 came around, 20% of the the government offices didn't know how to deal with ODF files. By 2010 most could open ODF, while around 7% of the smaller kommuner (counties/cities) still didn't know how to deal with the open formats.

After that it has just sort of slipped out of the public spotlight. In 2010 nobody really used the ODF format, because ordinary people don't need to send documents to the government, it's mostly self service online and companies all use Microsoft Office.

I would very much doubt that the government offices actually use anything but docx for documents internally. Even if they really should use a simple format that would be easy to parse in the future.

Software vendors have often done some sort of limited operational management support in well-defined parameters. In a way I can see that SaaS is no different. For example, I was involved with a software product that we provided as a running system to the customer and took responsibility for maintaining: this was when everything was about "virtualization". Technically, we tightly defined the whole stack from hardware upwards.

Outside the excitement of containers and composability I'm not sure that the problem has been fundamentally simplified. The challenge is that a fully "operational" system from a customer perspective has to fully integrate with the rest of the neworks services. That's primarily around all the other elements such as monitoring, intrusion detection, backups and secure remote access: granted the article starts to address some of these. As a SaaS vendor you need absolute repeatability and a constrained set of 'additional services' to integrate with - otherwise the support matrix is going to grow massively. From a customer perspective I can see the advantages in being able to flexibly move across the boundaries depending on the circumstance.

Not a "blacklist", and not unexpected when you're canned from a finance job. As far as WF is concerned, she committed fraud, so they filed a U5. Would you rather they not? It will be investigated; if it's unfounded she can sue.

>Her story is actually rather common for honest employees working at Wells Fargo

Yes, there are honest employees caught up in this. There are also many dishonest ones.

>If anything, they are the most responsible for creating the shitty culture

Really? More responsible than the people who commit the act? That is ridiculous. Have some personal accountability. If my employer asked me to do some fraudulent, I would refuse. I certainly wouldn't rip people off, then complain that I was "told to".

Twitter is the classic example of waiting too long to IPO. I understand there's a sort of cultish wisdom to delay an IPO for as long as (legally) possible; however, the underlying sustainability of a business either "just works" or it doesn't. The problems that plague Twitter today could and probably should have been caught at least a couple years before it IPO'ed at the very end of 2013. IPO'ing in the public exchange basically teases out sustainability problems. And regardless of what you think of American capitalism, the public markets are the best available detectives we have to investigate sustainability problems.

When sustainability is iffy, owners of the company get their vote, and then they get to implement leadership that does care about and pay attention to the numbers. Absent IPOs, a lot of startups are nothing more than glorified boys' clubs, partying on the dime of oblivious investors. It's lousy that the culture of so many companies in startupland hate the bean counters. The little numbers can usually tell a lot.

In German the passenger (front right seat) is actually called the "co-driver" (Beifahrer) and there is a cultural expectation to assist the driver with things like reading maps or passing drinks/food or even looking out for directional signs.

There is no such expectation for "guests" on the backseat(s), so this is a pretty distinct role.

Ask HN: Why not use CloudFlare authoritative DNS?
Many advocate using Google DNS or OpenDNS instead of your ISP's DNS servers (recursive DNS) because of security and performance.

If we apply the same advice to authoritative DNS are there any reasons why using CloudFlare's DNS servers should not be used?

Note: For the purpose of this discussion I'm assuming that we are only interested in CloudFlare authoritative DNS and not their SSL services.

They definitely don't do this. It seems like you have a significant misunderstanding of the literature being discussed.

No, it's about who is wrong _more often_ and who reports fake stories _more often_. When the standard for one set of sources is consistently absurdly low then you can't just
pretend all sources are equal. Again, it's a false equivalency.

I wonder if it's perhaps because of industry lobbying. The incentive to buy a 400+ BHP BMW M3 (or whatever) would probably be somewhat stymied if it were limited to a mere 85mph.

And there are plenty of way less expensive cars out there with 300+ BHP. Again, not much point if you're limited to 85mph, which means the car industry has one less lever to pull to charge premium prices for premium models, and thus makes less money. And we're talking about an industry that's already, at least in some quarters, struggling.

> Virtualization is extremely popular, but it isn't secure, and it's actually (and when you're thinking clearly, obviously) less secure than other, existing systems.

It makes me wonder why Google uses KVM to isolate multiple tenants running stuff on their machines.

Does virtualization solve all of the world's security problems? Of course not. But it does help as an additional layer of security.

"I suggest state-run work-camps or mini-work-cities for the sane and able-bodied."

My take is that you failed to understand how chronic homelessness works. Excluding the mentally ill, most of the said "able-bodied" individuals (including drug addicts) are there by choice. They managed to limit their needs and wants to a minimal levels and cover those with almost no work at all. As far as I could understand the way homeless people think, there are only small windows of opportunity for some external motivation to reach them, and that's in the times when they can't cover their basic needs, like shelter in a really cold weather, or water in a really dry day. Even these are looked at as nice-to-have not a must-have, so the effect of leverage is weak, as many of them will rather try to suffer and endure it through at the first sign of required work from their part.

"We claim to "rehabilitate" criminals, so I fail to see why we can't do something on a similar effort-level for the really needy individuals in our society."

I think you again fail at understanding what's the deal with criminals and homeless and why the society works to rehabilitate the criminals but not the homeless. (Actually the homeless that can be rehabilitated are actually worked on, as in the homeless that themselves work on their condition are helped.) The imprisoned criminals are a group of people that for some reason were considered dangerous to be left active in the society. So not necessarily the punishment for their crimes but the threat they continuously pose is the primary reason for their temporary or permanent disposal from the rest of society. Rehabilitation comes as a natural step for these active people, as they are active and potentially still useful for society. The homeless, on the other hand, don't pose much threat to society, and the main problem with any assumed social program involving them is that most of these are not active. There isn't much drive to change anything, neither from society (unless there is something political about it), nor from the homeless themselves.

I don't see why you couldn't parse the virtualisation instruction to a virtual machine. Modern hyper-visors don't emulate the CPU instructions any more, they're parsed through to the virtual machine.

While I'm certainly not sure, I do believe that at least some virtualisation solutions are able to parse the virtualisation instructions from the host CPU to the guest.

Hey, cofounders of TakeAim here.

We work for a small startup in SF and have been part of its growth from 4 to 40 employees. As it grew, we felt less connected to the company, and had less opportunity to affect various projects and details of the business. We missed that. We went from a single team standup of the whole company to multiple different standups segmented by function. We saw a problem and decided we wanted a solution.

We built a side project within 6 months and got buy-in and usage from our current company. In fact, they ended up paying for it. We couldn't keep up the nights and weekends though and worked on it less and less. While we still had the 1 happy paying customer, we failed to get any more to stick. After a few months of little to no work on it, we decided we wanted to make one more push towards user acquisition. We asked for an 8 week part-time sabbatical and compromised for a 1 week vacation. We are more than halfway through that week and are still struggling to gain traction.

Here is what we have tried:

Cold emailing product managers on LinkedIn
Content marketing with a blog post about a common standup
Posting in related sub reddits about startups and project management / agile
Emailing past users

We don't think we are a simple standup replacement or aid, but most people view us as that. We do support stand-ups and make them better, but does our product do too much? Or did we solve a problem that only exists at our company?

Well it is not as fast as a wifi connection would be, but it gets the job done. That said, i do not require 24/7 social media and other such coverage.

Basically pair featurephone with smartphone or tablet, and then tell the smartphone or tablet to use the featurephone as their internet connection.

Mind you this is all on Android, and i am not American so i do not have to deal with carriers mucking up my featurephone firmware.

Edit: Just reminded myself that the term used is tethering. If i can't find a wifi hotspot to use, i tether smart device to the featurephone over bluetooth and thus use the phones mobile connection as the net connection for the smart device.

Site is a blank page for me.
Agreed.

I'm in the U.S., and I constantly scan most of the major news source and commentary headlines.

It's a cesspool out there.

For a bit of history as I remember it, for what it's worth: in the 80s and 90s, I think, right-wing think tanks started providing a lot of research and background material. Of course these were slanted to right-wing views, but for the most part, unless you were really digging for stuff, it was academic. So if you had an argument about Gulf War I? You could, with effort, find some right-wing slanted stuff. But it was all alongside other academic material. It all balanced out. It was possible to consume a bit of bias and still make analysis work.

Then suddenly when the net started taking off, all of that research and such became much more easily available. If you were some right-wing guy looking to bolster point X, Google was your friend! You could find some nice charts and data.

Of course this was intolerable for the left, as it should be, so they started funding their own foundations and truth-providers.

This quickly became an escalating war. The titles got more and more scandalous and no matter what side you were on no matter the topic, you could find some studies and PhDs somewhere to back you up. It became a post-truth era.

Now it's all grown into vertical silos. Left-wing news sources publish left-wing commentators who repeat left-wing studies. Same thing happens on the right.

It's reached the point now where not only are the headlines and articles slanted trash, but it's problematic to sort it all out. In many cases you need to track an issue over time in both left and right-wing silos to arrive at something that works. The cognitive load for the average reader is simply too great. So instead they just stick inside their bubble and go through their lives not worrying about it.

I think this election a large percentage of people are finally figuring out how hosed up and colluding the systems of news and politics are. I'm not sure there will be improvement, but it's good to see a little daylight shining on things.
Ask HN: How can I create a decentralized GNU-social-compatible website?
Hi! I'm working on this project, it's a reddit-like open source social network, written in django.

Beta is almost complete, and now I really want to make it decentralized and compatible with GNU Social. I've never done this before, and some advice would be really useful to me at this point.

Where do I start? Which technologies should I pick? Are there any great resources/tutorials about this stuff?
Regardless, it doesn't reflect on the language/os/ecosystem/platform/system/library/runtime

If a company wants to vet all of their software, good on them! But that doesn't mean that anything that's not vetted by them is somehow worse for the majority of users, just that they haven't vetted it yet. So any arguments about how "library x" isn't usable by them won't apply to the vast majority of people, because most don't have that issue, or have no problems vetting that library as well.

Somewhat off topic. Is there a word that encompses the langauge, platform, runtime, etc...? I hate the word "ecosystem", but it seems like the best bet. And using any one of the others brings out comments of "well it's not a language" or "it's not a framework it's a library" or something else.
My problem with gradle is the built in Java dependency resolution is way too aggressive. If you change a class with a static constant it recompiles everything.
