I don't think it's purely an intro- vs. extrovert thing: as an anecdote, I tend to test as introvert, but find what the sister comment says very much applicable: it is hard to impossible to focus and/or maintain motivation without "seeing other people do things". Perhaps this has something with the ADD<->OCD scale, which I am firmly at the left end of: generally, I do not get distracted by sounds/questions/etc and very easily go back to what I was doing before distraction; but at the same time I find it rather difficult to e.g. avoid going off on unnecessary tangents, which is where seeing other people work helps.
YC W17 – Anyone want to swap interview times?
We got invited for an interview (yay!) but signed up late so the only times left are when my co-founder is out of town.

Anyone have a slot week of Nov 7 want to switch? (We are currently on Nov 2 afternoon). Email me at mericsson@gmail.com

Thanks and good luck!
See? It's irritating, isn't it?
I think he means putting it in a mobile platform that is hidden behind a gorgeous display. Of course you can build your own for cheaper, but by the time your done sintering aluminum parts and building a custom mainboard to fit the housing, I'm sure yours would be more than $700
I'm sure. It's one thing to be told "Hey, there's a new model right around the corner. But we have this guy on a steep discount to clear out inventory."

vs. "Hey, we have this great sale going on. What, new model? Naww, we are just having a sale!!"

The incumbent MFG's literally have "new inventory" sales on their last-years model to clear out inventory. They let you know well in advance that a new car is coming with new features so you can make an informed decision.
No need for abduction, they just need to hold on to the ID to prevent revoting.
I would love to do that, but even though my opinion is shared by possibly 80% of the staff here I would also be the prime suspect since I've been quite outspoken about it. In fact there's a note on the back of the amplifier telling me specifically to keep my hands off the speaker cables! (They have been unplugged on a few occasions, but not by me).

My manager is sympathetic but powerless. However we're expecting some major changes soon so I am cautiously hopeful, but I'm also keeping my eyes open for other opportunities in my area. This will sort itself one way or another.
I actually tried googling for a source for what I was saying and didn't find anything. It's what I've always heard, and it makes sense.. but everything I found was talking about other issues with noise (and talking about audible noise from the mirror movement, heh.)
My claim for the Lisp community wanting to condense is strictly colored by my (possibly incorrect) view that every Lisp since has been a Lisp1.

I have not personally taken too deep of a dive on Lisp1/Lisp2. Reading your response, I get the impression that this was actually a somewhat contested choice. I have to admit, I'm not clear on why I would personally care. Are there hard reasons to prefer one over the other? (In particular, I have not seen any advantages for either way explored from a user perspective.)

I'll have to read this particular paper in more depth, so apologies if the answers I'm asking for are in this article.
Sure. But if it's illegal to rent an apartment short term, and you post an ad to rent an apartment short term with reviews of people who did rent an apartment short term in the past, that burden of proof is met.
Entirely unrelated to the content, but wow, that's a horrific URL. There's a #hackernews channel on Freenode that streams front page news - the URL took up 4 lines and got reported as a bug, as it looks like one.
I don't even know what they do these days. I had an ex who was into buying daily deals, and literally every single small business where we redeemed one did not like the deal they got from groupon one bit.
It may move volume up enough for a brief period to display profitability, but the catch is that if the quarter following it does not have a very special attraction of its own that you will likely see the quarter after it substantially lower. Essentially it moves sales from the next quarter to the current one.

Tesla likely reasoned that they would have a huge up in Q4 and instead of having one quarter with profitability (Q4) they could spread it out and show two consecutive profitable quarters with even higher profits in Q4.

This may indicate they will be attempting to raise more money early next year, it's the kind of 'good news' that investors like to see.
I hope not.

I really dislike the asymmetry between the ability to take pictures of anyone in public easily (assuming spectacles or an equivalent comes out), with low chance of detection (unlike cameras/phones, which are harder to disguise) while being unable to as easily wear a mask in public to preserve some semblance of anonymity. Anti-mask laws exist for a variety of reasons, some of which I am fine with (e.g near banks) and some of which I am not (e.g abuse to shut down things like the Occupy movement). I would like to see a similar treatment of devices like this (spectacles, google glass, or whatever other product people work on in this space).

They should be treated on par with hidden cameras and the like. Until legislation takes care of this, I am not happy with the situation.

What does this have to do with protecting apartment dwellers in NYC from transients? I don't follow. We have doormen for a reason. NYC is a dangerous, large city and children, the elderly, and women should feel safe and be safe in their own apartment buildings.

@cortesoft - It takes a lot of time and infrastructure investment to ramp up production to those sort of levels.

This has actually been Tesla's business plan all along: start with a low volume, high-priced product (the Roadster) and gradually move towards successively higher volume, lower cost models.
About $300/mo on an app that provides real-time train tracking for Boston's commuter rail. Thankfully for me the MBTA is a mess, so each system meltdown (which happens about once a week) causes a spike in downloads.
They don't make more profit per vehicle, they just made more profit in a short window of time by doing more sales but this may not be sustainable because it just shifts sales around rather in time at a lower profit per vehicle.
Would this be a manufacturing or software issue?

Absolutely true here as well; "being amongst other people doing things" is it. What I found (somewhat) helpful is making sure to get out of the office regularly, even if it's just a trip to the water cooler.

Sure: Mainly it means that Apple is struggling with their supply chain, which for a hardware manufacturer isn't great. But since this is a brand new product it doesn't impact current revenues, but it does impact outlook.
Combined with early voting, and you could have a political event with tens of thousands who all vote a month early online in front of each other, the crowd pressure adding to the emotional fervor.

I can't imagine elections being any more screwed up, even including Jim Crow. Jim Crow has nothing on this.

But I'm still of the opinion that anything electronic is by nature untrustworthy. Just ask Microsoft, who for more than a decade or more has tried to lock down their O/S.

I know how the theory works. But that's just a theory regarding abstract concepts. Real voting doesn't work like that. At all. It's much more than the theory describes.

And if we get past all of that? Then we can start talking about how nobody who founded the U.S. wanted a democracy. Democracies are inherently extremely dangerous.

It's just a terrible idea masquerading as some cool new thing tech can do.
You jumped from "hard to verify" into "hard to vote" with no explanation there.

There's little problem in an election where only people with knowledge of cryptography can verify the official results.
Something to keep in mind is that Asimov was very much a product of the age of pulp magazines, so early on in his career he was paid by the word for his work.

A side geek note: If you were active in NYC fandom from say the 50s on chances were very good that you would actually get to see Isaac in person at many local science fiction conventions. For some reason he disliked air travel, and would show up at almost any local convention that he was invited to.

If you want to read a really good book on being a geek from the depression era to about the 50s I would highly recommend reading The Way the Future Was by rederik Pohl.
Wow straight up conclusion - I had it confused, right!

It's not a, pardon me for the expression, fucking XNU specific programming rule - it is a general rule that was invented long before Ian got to it! You don't hold a reference counted pointer and operate on it without taking a :gasp: reference first - having that shit in your sample code is just, well extra shitty!

Also, separately from the dangling pointer issue, the first sentence of the post is literally - This post discusses a design issue at the core of the XNU kernel!
Well, it's similar to when a company tries to stop brute force by blindly blocking people who try 10 invalid passwords, but they have a CSRF on the login page (cross site request forgery). The problem is that I can craft a page to make a POST to their login page with invalid passwords repeatedly via ajax, and lock out legitimate users with a spam campaign pointing to my page on their user base. It seems far fetched until you consider something global like the internet. There are two ways I could see this failing on a global scale:

- Attackers figure out something similar to the attack described above and can entice large amounts of users to visit a page that repeatedly fires at something like s3.aws.com or w/e, the user is unaware but they're essentially DDoSing s3.aws.com via attacker.com's webpage, and in point 2 they would be banned.

- DRDoS is similar to whats described above, but in point 2 it kind of stands alone as the biggest issue. it can be mitigated to a certain level by ISP's, but not entirely. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack#Refle...) . Point 2 would actually help attackers poison DNS.
David, I've wanted to tell you for a long time: thank you. You probably don't remember me -- I was an admin on the wowdev wiki, way back. GitLab and Sentry are my two favourite examples of successful open source companies. Sentry, the tool and the company, are both really awesome - it's been crazy useful to us at HearthSim and has served me personally really well since its first versions.
Right - with instagram it sticks. That's an update away from being 100% Snap-like.
Docker doesn't use LXC anymore[1]. The reason you need a VM is to get the Linux kernel, not LXC, and the reason you need that is because the macOS kernel (Darwin) doesn't have the necessary containerization features. On FreeBSD, for example, Docker runs natively, without a VM.

>That doesn't make any sense. Hits to 25 KB Wordpress blogs are trivial for ISPs to serve, nor is there usually any practical or economical way to bill the owners for serving them

Or you create a white-list (which is slowly being made). Your average Wordpress site counts against data. Want it to be "free"? Pay AT&T some money? Can't because it's too complicated for anyone but CNN? Too bad.

Oh, you only get 200 MB per month? Not a big deal, because CNN/BBC/YouTube pay money not to be counted against data limits.

We didn't have this for decades. Really, it started about a decade ago when dial-up died.

Under dialup, one could switch providers on a dime, so you could switch from anyone pulling such shenanigans.
Perhaps their "internal" nameservers are just vanity nameservers hosted by someone else.
Uhm... this is again backwards. I'm not making any claims - I'm responding to others who do. And I did (still) provide evidence: The Linux kernel project itself. Instead of individual anecdotes or some carefully selected email or sentences taken out of context I point to the whole project as the final outcome measurement. See what I wrote?

"While we understand your app is using a Google login, it still provides access to Pokemon services without the necessary permission. It would be appropriate to ensure that your app does not include the Google/Pokemon login."

My response was this.
"Somehow the reviewers seem to think that because I use Google Sign-In I can access all the data from any other app that uses Google Sign-In which I can't. I can no more get Pokemon data than I can access the users Gmail. My app only asks for basic information which is just the username (i.e. Ronald A. Dowty)."

Interestingly, in the UK paperback books have a little contract in the front saying you can't rebind them into hardbacks, while in the US such a contract is forbidden by the right of first sale. The moral is that these things are less obvious than one would think.
I wonder what 1.2Tb would do if pointed at a ELB or an AZ in AWS. Someone must have tried at some point but i've never heard of any widespread outages caused by DDOS on AWS. Is it just that bandwidth available to an AWS datacenter is that much bigger than what dyn have?
I find if there is a big contrast in noises, say if the office is usually quiet and a coworker starts making noises, they are more distractive than if in a constantly noisy environment and a loud coworker makes noise. I would say the contrast is a huge factor as the article seem to suggest
Might as well translate validated JSON to a faster binary format for the internal bus, e.g. MessagePack. Validated msgpack is probably faster than unvalidated JSON.
Even if you're a clojure shop, you've got the issue that at your system boundary, everything else the world accepts json and/or XML, and nothing supports EDN/transit. So your data needs to be serialisable to one of those anyway, at least if it crosses the boundary. There is such a thing as a network effect, even in data serialisation formats...

Washington state does all its voting by mail now, which is good in a way because it means all the ballots are on paper and subject to verification, but it's vulnerable to all the voter influence problems you just listed.

(It also reduces voting from an in-person civic ritual to just one more form you get in the mail and have to fill out and mail back, like paying a bill. But that's a whole separate problem.)
Of course it is not the most egregious. That someone else is wasting several orders of magnitude more money doesn't make it OK for 18F waste a smaller amount.
Yeah but then you're in Times fucking Square!
The thing to remember as well with IARC is that it does its classifications with a hazard based approach, while most regulatory agencies use a risk based approach.

A hazard is something that can harm potentially harm you. Risk quantifies how likely that will happen.

MongoDB is never acceptable. Let's make this short and concise.

[edit: fail. This answer is crazy long. Seriously, this topic should be covered in a book. I'll write one some day]

--- ONE DECISION RULE TO RULE THEM ALL: SQL databases are easier to use and maintain than NoSQL databases. Always use SQL when possible, only use NoSQL when forced to.

--- If you have less than 1 TB of data, you should use a normal SQL database.

It's the easiest to use, it runs on a single node, it supports "JOINS", it supports transactions, it fits all the most common needs.

The usual free SQL choice is PostgreSQL. Sometimes it's MySQL instead (mostly for the Apache+PHP+MySQL stack for which there is cheap hosting service available).

--- If you have more than 1 TB of data, you have to use a NoSQL database. (Cassandra, ElasticSearch, Riak)

They support splitting data and operations over multiple nodes which is necessary to handle this scale. The downside is that they can't support joins nor transactions because of that.

--- Never use MongoDB.

99% of projects should use a traditional SQL database as per the major rule. The project is simple enough, SQL is fine!

The 1% of complex web scale projects MUST NOT use MongoDB under any circumstances. MongoDB has know reliability and scalability issues that WILL lead to disaster. Use either ElasticSearch or Cassandra instead (depending on the usage).
I am curious, what does the "code" alias link to? and why is it that you need to touch it before you edit it? wouldn't an editor do that for you?

Too bad. You can claw my mail-in ballot from my cold, dead hands.
Happiness is fleeting. Content-ness is what feels most de-stressing to me. Perhaps we can call it fulfillment.

I find that I experience more flashes of happiness when I am most content; and I get there by removing stressors and handling the "small things" in life that have a tendency to pile up.

Overall, I think we as a society focus too much on money, love, and happiness. Each feel better as a byproduct of effort rather than the goal. For example, some of the healthier businesses I've seen started were created with the passion for helping people more than profiting from them.
Let's be careful with the phrase "open office plan". Many articles lump cubicle farms together with partition-free spaces in the same category, but whenever they're treated as separate choices the research tends to show cubicle farms being worse than partition-free spaces on most dimensions, including noise distraction -- i.e. private offices > partition-free spaces > cubicle farms. Interestingly, this particular article mostly avoids this distinction but does address it in the final paragraph:

"There are solutions, says Cornell's Hedge. The trend toward open offices and hard office furniture makes noise distraction worse, so adding carpet, drapes and upholstery can help. He recommends, perhaps counterintuitively, getting rid of cubicle walls, which provide the illusion of sound privacy, but actually make people less aware of the noises they create."

I was introduced to linux cgroups and namespaces via my use of docker. It is a fantastic tool for using these concepts quickly and I don't currently see rocket etc overthrowing dockers dominance in the market place.

However I do sense (and feel my self at times) a growing upset with the usability/ stability of the docker engine.

The OCI (Open Container Initiative) should allow new solutions to come to market without fragmenting the space. i.e. it should be possible to run any image with any container engine/Linux.

Docker is valued at $1B. It appears that justifying that valuation has taken them into a number of adjacent markets. I wish they were more focused on the Docker Engine itself.
I actually have the opposite fear: I'm afraid that my important notes would get burried in a notebook because it's linear and I keep adding thing. In a digital file I can rearrange items, permanently delete them etc.

They mention 100k participating devices/IPs - that would mean an average of 12 Mbps upload. Sounds high, but plausible? [ed: I actually think it's kind of sad that most users aren't on symmetric gigabit links yet... But in this context I guess it's a blessing of sorts... ]

Hey Michael! Could you email rkt-dev about your questions as well? Particularly around the long command strings. There are other ways to launch rkt containers besides long args.

Yeah. I had my place on there and one guest was surprised that I actually lived in my apartment.
I don't see how a discount changes their profits(!) dramatically – especially considering Tesla does its accounting on an accrual basis. It's perfectly possible (and actually wanted) that someone walks onto a car lot with a fat bundle of cash, uses it to buy a car, drives off – and the whole transaction didn't change profits at all.
It's not a wild prediction, given that the new sensors means another surge in orders, which gives Tesla a chance to prioritize higher-margin, more expensive cars.

I don't know how many potential buyers were waiting, but I was expecting a bump in sensors and compute power sooner than later.
It doesn't sound like they're giving any clues.
