Theoretically, no. LXC or docker will not help against this. Not even against this particular exploit seen in the wild, but that could be mitigated with lxc (maybe docker), partically lxc.container.conf you can set seccomp to drop ptrace syscall which this wild exploit depends on.

Here, it really is a difference between VM and container though.
> and computed property getters and setters

It's the exact way how it's implemented in Vue, with old fashion getters/setters and some "magic" for already defined object fields, see for details https://vuejs.org/guide/reactivity.html Vue has no digest cycle (no dirty checking), so you there is no Angular's performance issues.
The chairs are popular in many other high-end seating environments, like law offices, high end hotels, etc. In Houston, there's plenty of places you can buy used ones, and occasionally you'll find them with inventory stickers on them: they are coming from big oil and the like, not startups. (Have one I bought full price at home, and a used one at the office)
I would argue that a lot of new companies like Uber and AirBnb are information brokers -- they provide a service of connecting demand (consumers) to a previously untapped supply (merchants).

The economic value they have comes from 'creating' a market and being first in it (brand recognition), which gives them a competitive edge over newcomers. In addition, from investors, they have a 'war chest' which allows them to make the barriers to entry harder.

Some of these companies, I think, have realized that they are too dependent on the will of their suppliers; so now, they're actually manufacturing or creating something tied solely to the company. For example, Uber investing in self-driving cars.

The valuation is based on momentum and direction, with funny numbers applied to the assets and market share to reach such conclusions. The services they've offered as a startup can only be construed as a sample of whatever the massive organization they're building promises: some kind of broader marketplace that they are going to capture via the cab service.

This is, of course, massively risky and commits tremendous resources in a very short time. There is no good way of evaluating how this will go, because(as is typical in this generation of tech companies) the KPIs might be the wrong ones for a sustainable business and this gets figured out too late to change course. But that's what the investors were sold on, and that's what they're going to build until the day the cash runs out.
> If you just want to program a Synchronous server in the JVM,just stick to Java.

And if you want to program an asynchronous server on the JVM in Java, all of the major and minor servers also support an asynchronous model (you merely lose the ability to program against the Servlet API, which pre-3 was bound to threads).

There's no reason at all to bring JS in for asynchronous behavior.

To be fair, software has higher profit margins than hardware. Even higher when you make that software as a service. A lot of the margins is diminished due to the physical upkeep, which can be argued as "hardware".

I would agree that on-demand services, for the most part, aren't innovating: they're just facilitating consumer-merchant relationships.

The exact values may be off, but that is how to think of it. Losing any specific object is less likely than earth ending. But these are providers with many trillion objects. In that case there are a handful of objects that are going missing each year, on average. The durability guarantee allows customers to make an educated decision as to how much they invest in loss prevention.

But lets get back to that 400B object customer who's losing 40. How much does it cost to verify (resilver) all those bits, even annually? Is it even tenable?

Most people never use the function keys because it's too difficult to figure out what they do. So on many keyboards already you can't use the f1-f12 keys without a modifier, otherwise you get multimedia functions that are printed on the keys.

Having the functionality shown on the keys would help.

Also Apple is probably trying to create something new to get people to buy the hardware, that's how it works. Apple does try harder than most to make their features actually useful though.
Such a black hole would have to be primordial, and then you'd have to explain how it came to be associated with our solar system. Far more likely that a planetary-mass object associated with a solar system is an actual planet.

I don't think it'd be likely to accrete much mass, though; a back-of-the-envelope calculation of a 10 Earth mass black hole in the outer solar system subject to interstellar mass flux gives an accretion rate of 0.1 nanograms/year and a radiative power of 0.1 milliwatts.

Likewise, its Schwarzschild radius would be of the order of 10cm, so gravitational lensing events would be nigh-on unobservable.

Ask HN: How does a beginner get started with web development in 2016?
I'm a student looking to create a reasonably simple web app for a side project, and quite frankly, I have no idea where the hell to start. I've developed an iOS app, and created a static personal web site, but when it comes to web app development, the whole ecosystem seems like an absolute mess. As a beginner, I'm wondering how one is meant to figure out what stack/languages to go with when a new one seems to pop up every other week? Should a beginner start with something out of fashion but established, like Ruby on Rails or PHP/HTML/CSS/JS, or should they try to hop into the soup of trendy frameworks and languages that is the MEAN stack, Go, Flask, LAMP, Meteor, Django, Ember, Backbone, React, etc. etc., and how does one choose between them?
Ask HN: How to recover from a career false start?
So I'm 26, I've had a lot of troubles with work and also I'm worried that my job history is a black mark on my resume.

I graduated with a CS degree from a top 10 school in 2011. I did a small internship with a 15 person software company. From there I spent a year studying (natural) languages.

After that I did a few odd jobs until I landed my first programming job in 2014. It was programming part time for a startup mainly using python. I always felt utterly confused about what I was doing. I left the company after 6 months. I told them I was going on to a new opportunity but really I just felt like I couldn't contribute at all.

Some more odd jobs and I landed a full time programming job using Ruby on Rails. I had built my own ruby on rails project as practice and felt like things would go pretty well. After entering the company I couldn't seem to get anything done. We did pair programming but I could never keep up. After a while I just used the pair programming to try to hide the fact that I wasn't keeping up. After 6 months the boss and I have a conversation and agree to call it quits. I felt relieved because those last few months I honestly felt like I was stealing.

After these failures I decided to try freelancing. I met with a company multiple times and they seemed keen, but every time I met with them I felt like I was getting more and more out of my depth. Finally we agreed a rate via email and they asked for a few bits of paperwork. I completely froze up and couldn't reply to them. That was 9 months ago and I never did manage to reply. A similar thing happened with another freelancing gig.

Now I look at my resume and feel like it's full of holes that I can't explain that well. I look at freelancing and feel like I can't take on anything because I'm not sure I'll be able to do it.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Does anyone have any advice?

I don't at all. That's my whole point. You've taken yet another pretty simple command line utility, and made a "web service" for it.

> In the past few months I've done the following at least 5 times

I've probably generated 2x that many random strings just to generate test examples for how else this could be done, compare times, etc. I didn't suddenly think that I should put that on a http server somewhere.

> maybe someone finds it useful

or maybe someone uses it as a source of random data for their production application because they don't know any better.

You can get random strings in a shell by running `base64 /dev/urandom | head -c 30`. If you wanted to make it (or your own solution) easier, why not just create a shell script (or a python script with a shebang line).

Even easier execution (i.e., tab-completion to the path), no reliance on network or a server, no security issues by loading data over a remote connection.

Sitting on cash may be better than burning cash.

It used to be that shoveling cash into a furnace to inflate the balloon was guaranteed to work. Someone always was buying whatever was inflating above the fire. SV selling to SV.

Now the question is whether the a rig is flight-worthy and has a reasonable chance to pay back even if not acquired. If IPOs are valuated along more traditional models sustainable revenue streams will become central. Some VC may eventually decide to chase a B$ unicorn and loose. Some VC may stop. Some VC may adjust. Paradigm shifts often leave people behind.

Risk management is becoming more important. That means smaller investments and a closer look/relationship. Traditional angel approach and possibly the industrialized version of YC and the like are becoming more important.

And yes, there is a systemic problem. Pumping money into the economy through financial means has proven not to be effective for medium to long term situations. If this is adjusted maybe bigger investments will flow again into SV. However the business models will be different. In the past the money was poured over SV and a significant part was used to build for SV customers. Customers will be to a larger extent elsewhere. The good news is that is more scalable and sustainable.

That's akin to racing in time trials instead of a race with other cars beside you. It's more challenging when you engage with the enemy because then instead of just developing your own economy you have to second guess your opponents in the race for the nuke.

One very good prediction market is Hypermind [1]:

* It's not an open panel. You can apply for an account, but you will be screened. This removes the noise from people who just want to try out prediction markets.

* Contestants don't play for real money. I believe this improves predictions by removing biases due to having real financial stakes in the outcomes.

I also like the fact that it's a real prediction market based on trading and not one of those systems where you have to update your predictions all the time. In a prediction market, you just trade when you see a potential benefit, and the power of the market does the rest.

The only issue I have with it is that the site is so damn slow...

> Try playing against humans and see how far culture&religion will get you.

That's a fact about the design of the game, not a fact about what would be fun.

> That's akin to racing in time trials instead of a race with other cars beside you.

I guess you changed this from "that's akin to playing on a deserted island" after realizing that plenty of games, and novels, are all about surviving and establishing yourself on a deserted island?

It's only akin to racing in time trials rather than against other cars if your model of "racing with other cars beside you" is Mario Kart. It's precisely analogous to racing against other cars on the fairly reasonable assumption that you're not supposed to run into the other cars in the race.

> instead of just developing your own economy you have to second guess your opponents in the race for the nuke

There's no "race for the nuke" in Civ. If you're going for military, you'll win or lose long before you develop nukes.

Land is the only one of those that has really skyrocketed in price. That was driven by politics.

Scientists Just Accidentally Figured Out How to Turn CO2 into Fuel
I don't see any reason why there necessarily would be. Generally speaking, compression algorithms do better when adjacent pixels have similar colors, which is the unshuffled state.

In cases where there is a version that compresses better, unshuffling might not work. If you had an "pinstripe" image consisting of alternating black and white columns of pixels, obviously it could compress better after being "shuffled" with all the similarly colored columns together. But then this algorithm would be unable to get the original image back.
