For me it's starting real life with my first job at age 24 and not before. My parents were typical protective parents - they didn't let me struggle and achieve something on my own. Graduated with honors and went to MIT and so on - but i feel like I am still missing essential skills that would make me reach where I want, and the feeling that I didn't achieve much so far is keeping me awake every night for the past 3 years.

So that's linking to a Forbes article that's paraphrasing this study from 2012: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~tdumitra/public_documents/bilge12...

It doesn't support your assertion but it's still interesting 2008-2010 data from an antivirus vendor. It's talking about about how long some vulnerabilities were exploited by malware before getting disclosed, use in targeted attacks, and so on.
Probably a silly question but I imagine its battery life is pretty short with that much power...
As a digital nomad I need something thats capable enough to let me run my business while traveling but is still light as possible. I upgrade every 2 1/2 years or so and was always skipping over the Macbook Pro for the fully optioned 13" Macbook Air instead--the 8GB RAM limit was the bottleneck for me but I didn't want the extra weight to go up to the MBP, and didn't like the small screen on the MB.

The fully loaded 13" MBP I just ordered is about the same weight and size which can easily be lugged around in a day bag without being too heavy and lets me get the 16GB of RAM I wanted - happy days.

I'm still boycotting Thiel and any of his significant investments. For example, we cancelled our corporate Asana account after the Republican Convention and cited that as the sole reason for cancellation.

After his egregious Trump support, I absolutely refuse to utilize any service or product of which he's a prominent private investor. I know it's just a drop in the bucket, but dammit, you have to take a stand at some point, even if it's effectively meaningless.
The Gateway pundit? Looks like literal propaganda.

Any place that doesn't quote their source I immediately discard as crap. You should too.
I agree, very bizarre way to claim profitable.

As for the other comments mentioning EBITDA. The Tax in EBITDA is income tax.

You cannot be taxed out of being profitable.

The tax rate is not >100% so if you are profitable before taxes you are profitable after taxes. Just less so.

I have no idea what postmates means here by "profitable, w/o tax-related expenses". Maybe something like sales tax they collected that must be remitted? (that's not technically an expense either but they don't seem to know what they are doing or saying at the moment).
Not to mention the Dell XPS 13 which also uses LPDDR3 and maxes out at 16 GB.

By default[0] a Raft failover will block DNS reads, since Consul forwards all DNS queries to the master, making it a single-point-of-failure.

However, Consul can be configured[1] to serve "eventually consistent" DNS queries, allowing follower nodes to respond with possibly outdated information, during the few seconds of a Raft failover.

Where I work, we've also set it up so that BIND acts as a front-end, caching responses from Consul for up to 60 seconds.

0: This apparently changed in 0.7, released last month, to make eventually consistent reads the default. I assume the version of Consul that Stripe is using predates this, as does the version my company runs in production.

There are so many different jobs and companies and career paths in the tech world that it's hard to draw generalizations.

For example, if you aspire to be a CTO of a big company, you should probably have experience across a fairly broad spectrum of technical areas. But if you aspire to write code at the cutting edge of machine learning, you may want to specialize more. Which of these people is "more successful"? It depends entirely on what their personal goals are - there's no universal measure of success.

What about the thousands of people with imporant data that could be attacked in the coming days using this exploits, but can now protect themselves from it knowing this?

It goes both ways. As they said, this is active in the wild and many are being hacked AS WE SPEAK completely unaware of it. Imagine you had some information that is worth millions of dollars on your computer who is vulnerable to this. Now that you know, the first thing you'll do it turn off your computer or find a way to protect yourself. If they hadn't released it, you could've been hit in the coming week or month or however long it takes Microsoft.

As you can see, this isn't a black and white problem.
Yes, I think that's the one but my biggest takeaway from what I remember was "Apache is okay but..." I remember reading about half a dozen Confluent employees towing the party line and parroting the exact same argument, about how being under Apache was stifling their innovation. And yet Kafka is thriving under Apache, so their arguments smelled fishy as hell.

It sounds like they are setting up the foundation to pull something like what Oracle did with MySQL, and try to take control after countless outside helpers turned the product into something rock solid.
My biggest worry is that everyone will turn this off due to security concerns.
Ask HN: Why is migration to HTML5 from Flash for videos not yet a reality?
One of things that I keep hearing is that Flash has too many vulnerabilities and it's better to move away from it. I see that Flash prominently gets used for video rendering in browsers. I also hear that HTML5 has the necessary support for native video rendering and is an alternative to using Flash.

However, almost all other major websites still use Flash. Youtube does have optional HTML5 support and works fine (for me). But a majority of other prominent websites (twitter for example) still seem to use Flash.

I don't have much knowledge when it comes to video rendering in browsers, but is it that difficult to just switch to HTML5 for video rendering? Are there some technical challenges that this migration is delayed? Personally I haven't used Flash, in browser, for anything other than basic video playing abilities (play, pause, stop, change volume), so I would expect it wouldn't be much of a ask for HTML5 to support this.
If we strip your comment from the emotional affect, you're essentially saying that immigrants are happy to do menial jobs that the locals do not.

How do countries without large immigrant (I won't even go to refugees) populations handle this? Switzerland seems to be doing fine. Japan isn't falling apart because there's nobody to cook. Most of Asia is doing fine without allowing any immigrants.

So on a strict analysis of whether immigrants are beneficial to the host population, your argument isn't made.
The cited motivation was "it's being exploited in the wild". It's better to enable the rest of the world to defend against it.
Very nice!

The difference is that all these food delivery companies need to acquire both customers and drivers. Uber already has the drivers and the infrastructure for delivery. That makes it much easier for Uber to compete against companies like Postmates. I honestly don't think Postmates, Caviar, et al. have much of a chance over the long haul.
I wonder what happened to that. Encouraging news in 2012-2013, then nothing. Lots of interest in E-beam for mask making, but not direct-writing ICs.

Looks like Thiel came to the rescue when Postmates was not able to raise fund from anywhere else.

>I wonder if they would have raised from Thiel if they were in a position of strength, and had other options.

Seems like Postmates did try raising from somewhere else first - at higher valuation perhaps, but maybe they were getting devalued?
Stories Behind the Fog – I used to cater for the Clintons
The next "total rethink" of GPUs is multiple dies on a single package. Not just for HBM, there's no reason you can't have the dies "hanging off" the interposer (supported by an inactive substrate), only overlapping the interposer on the regions necessary for chip bumps. Essentially each die becomes a large SMX Engine or other hierarchal unit that is marshalled by some central memory controller or other controller that presents the illusion of a single GPU rather than SLI/Crossfire.

This is actually the direction AMD is going with Navi, not because of the performance gains per se but because it helps yields big time. You can pre-bin your chips, then stitch a bunch of small chips into medium chips while keeping your yields high.

In theory you can scale up for quite a while. At the long term, you will eventually be limited by clock degradation/signal propagation time however.

The short-term problem is heat and power. This doesn't help efficiency gains per se. If you are stitching together four 600mm^2 dies then you are going to be pulling 1000-1200W and dumping that back out into your cooling system. For US consumers, their circuit breakers are a much more immediate limit. Most household circuits are 15A @ 120V, and that's an instantaneous limit. You are not supposed to continuously pull more than 80% of a circuit's instantaneous rating, so that's 12A (1440W at the wall). Factor in the losses from the PSU's 80% efficiency and you are now talking 1152W continuously. Again, that works out to about four 600mm^2 GPU dies, plus some power budget for the CPU and so on. And you'd probably need to take drastic measures to keep that cool - that's a lot of heat in a small surface area.

Microsoft may have almost completely bowed out of mobile for now doesn't mean they are not doing anything in the space. They've been constantly pushing updates to Windows Mobile (see https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/tag/windows-insi...) and they still sell first party Windows Mobile devices (Lumia 950, 950 XL). Basically nobody cares at this point but they're still slowly moving along in mobile. Probably for future plans.

It's going to be interesting to see where they allocate the money. They're in a very tough market: competing with Uber for drivers and Amazon for drone deliveries. Literally, the most inauspicious position to be in, second to competing with Google or Elon Musk.

It's funny that selling the company was their priority, and that they had to hire an investment bank to look for funders.

One workaround might be to request that the user send an initial email to your servers from their address before attempting the authentication. You'd want to validate that the email arrived and is valid according to SPF/DKIM/DMARC. You might consider allowing only messages that are positively authenticated by one of those technologies (not e.g. vacuously valid for lack of SPF records). Admittedly this will require a more complex user interaction, but it will avoid the abuse problem you're describing. You could make sending this email easy by supplying an appropriately filled out mailto: link; it should be enough to click it and send. You'd then follow this up with your current authentication step.

I've been thinking about this space for a while (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12411204 ) and would be happy to chat or brainstorm.

- cost of replacing flash with HTML 5 video player, requires testing, and a developer to provide

- DRM

- requires messaging current users about the change, providing fallback in case of non compatibility, user-support and tracking of failure

The current website works well enough with flash, and using flash does not impact traffic ( most of desktop users have flash ).

Browsing the Web from a Raspberry Pi (3) was an interesting experience. Browsing supposedly static content like news sites was often surprisingly painful, yet Google Docs was at least usable—alongside Roll20, which is also not exactly the lightest weight thing I use.

Everyone's suggesting VR rigs, as you requested, but hold up a sec, he wants to learn to skateboard or rollerblade. While some of the VR rigs may help a person learn such a skill, most are purely "rides", with the person having little or no control. I'd urge you to not be so quick to forgo actual skateboarding, rollerblading, or similar actual, physical activities. He wants the feel of the wind in his face, the feel of balance.

Can he ride a bike? Has he ever, and can he still? How physically strong is he currently? Can he still lift himself out of a chair? If he's not very strong, perhaps you could sit with him on a long board and go down gentle slope, or start on a flat. Maybe take your sisters first and get their approval. A Razor skooter might be a good compromise - very easy to learn, but have the correct wind and the balance components. How much does he weigh? If you outweigh him by a good margin, you could both rollerblade, with him between your arms, and your arms under his, so you can be his training wheels. Again, obviously much caution with everyone's approval before you actually do this.

How 'bout a Big Wheel? If you get on a snow ski slope, there are other options; have you seen these bi-skis where a person sits and a person behind them stands and steers?

Of course, none of these preclude also going the VR route, though budget may. Just wanted to throw out some options possibly more inline with what he may have in mind.

Yes, it is a login process and there has to be one somewhere under the hood. Whatever the scheme is - at some point, one has to authenticate.

The trick is, you set it up once and then your user agent does it for you, so all you have to do is set up sync (or any other option) once then never bother but just hit the "okay, log me in here" buttons, optionally, choosing an identity (certificate) if you have many.

To me, Kafka as a job queue is a painful impedance mismatch. To achieve that, you need to:

1. Figure out which Kafka broker you're using. The concept of a consumer and consumer APIs 0.7 is different from 0.8 which is different from 0.9 and different still from 0.10. Ranging from non-existing, to quirky, to finally a good design that's working - but you need to make sure offsets are committed in time.

2. Offset management is a thing. If you're lucky and using recent brokers you're good, but you'll still have to make sure timings for submitting offsets and heartbeats interleave in a way that Kafka doesn't think consumers are dead. If you had problems imagining this scenario - exactly. This was a very hard race condition to find, that's solely up to you and your motivation to fix it and not scratch it of in favor of "a random glitch".

3. Kafka clients are still radically different, supporting different versions. You need to be lucky to use a language and a platform that is in harmony with latest consumer APIs. However - I'm certain it'll converge. The ecosystem will converge slower.

4. Out of reasons Xorlev mentioned, you will find yourself against the wall, making sure each job task is idempotent. Suddenly - this becomes a people management problem too.

All of these can (and probably _will_) be solved, however I feel that (2) and (4) will always be there, because that's part of why Kafka is so great.

In addition, I think Kafka is one product which you _must_ read the "whitepaper"[0] for before you want to build consumers for it. The first reason - because it's an innovative design, that might come in handy in every day life if you're an engineer, and the second reason - is to understand the founding context in which it was created - logs and why there are so many tradeoffs that were done for it to be amazing at that, and to realize that this original founding context was _not_ transactional jobs.

Switching gears now. Many organizations find Kafka as a much needed cure for data processing pipelines, and pushing events and messaging as a first class citizen in the organization from a _data_ point of view. For that, Kafka is amazing. With it, you can realize the dream of having an "event mart" where groups, teams, consume and publish their view of the world, processed, as a message stream, and someone can pick up that stream and build a completely different product on top of it (not a perfect example but one we can all relate to - think about Twitter's firehose).

The perception problem is, that once this floods the organization, there's little to do, to use the same mindset to build _operational_ and transactional queue systems, where you don't process events or data, but perform tasks. Unfortunately that's not true. I'd be happy if there were stronger education about this from Kafka's side.

For the kq project - I wish best of luck and I'd be interested to see it unfold. Code is very clean and I feel it's inviting to just read and learn from it - kudos!
