At my company we use Asana and Slack for 99% of our online communication.

I hate Asana. It's like trying to be productive by screen sharing someone else's cluttered folder-centric Windows 95 desktop "organization system". Running on a 386SX. This despite some smart folks putting a fair amount of effort into figuring out how to best use it.
I'm sure there's a term for this, but people in the West have this idea that everyone not in the West is a dirty savage living in a mud hut.

It's difficult to respond to anecdote but I do think it's worth mentioning that the effect can alter depending on the specific flavours - some are affected more than others. I also expect there's some physiological aspects in play as well (eg some peoples nasal cavities might close up more than others). So it's possible you might be accidentally eating the right foods or just less susceptible than most.
I find that the cruise control on a 2015 Hyundai (automatic transmission) always gets better mileage than I can without, even on hilly trips. (Where I live all trips are hilly.) I do help it out by shifting to neutral when on long downhill stretches.
I do hate when a passenger will have their knee next to the shifter and it disrupts my hand.
If you get angry enough or you feel threatened enough the facts don't matter, all that matters is winning.

America went from a melting pot to a tossed salad to a powder keg.
As I replied to your linked comment, you're conflating the arguments. If you believe that marriage should be allowed if and only if a couple bears/adopts a child, then make parenthood a prerequsite for marriage, there's no point in instituting complex heuristics to try to guess whether a couple wants kids or not beforehand.

You did call them hoaxes, which is pretty much the same thing.

Maybe the problem is that you think everyday racism is as unlikely as the existence of God?
Yes that 6 months window I decided is ok for me. It might not be for you. If my house burns down, my car burns down and I end up in hospital, losing 6 months of data potentially isn't a major issue.

If you make it a conscious scheduled process you know it's working.

I'm a relative expert with duplicity (I run a whole pile of stuff in AWS that uses the S3 back end for backups) and it's not a solution I really entirely trust. First you incur the wrath of configuration i.e. the initial ramp up to get it working, then there's the monitoring overhead which isn't trivial as it isn't the quietest bit of software known to man, and finally we have the complexity perspective which introduces a lot more code, network transport etc.

Plus it is horribly buggy, particularly with incrementals, metadata and corruption. The same is true with Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox which I have used.

Edit: comedic timing perhaps, but since I wrote this post I've just got a duplicity failure to deal with...
It's not about you feeling hungry, or you needing entertainment, it's all about the Airline not having problematic passengers.

By providing stodgy food, they are hoping that the passengers will get docile and sleep (especially on overnight flights) - also eating the food every x hours gives bored passengers something to do. A busy passenger is a passenger that won't annoy others.

Likewise the entertainment options, it's all there to keep you in your seat and disengaged from the plane (and other people) around you.

If the airlines could get away with doping everyone during the flight[1], they would.

Yeah, that's why they don't want to run countries (be a government) - legitimacy of political power comes with a social contract, fluid and quite vague, unlike TOS.

Violating it often ends up in bloodshed and revolutions.
I think that is part of the issue though. The scenery really isn't where your mind should be while driving, simply looking to the side for 5 seconds is enough distraction to cause an accident.

http://www.distraction.gov/stats-research-laws/facts-and-sta...

I think for an already attentive driver it might be okay, but I would argue that a manual transmission would force people who are in the habit of being distracted to pay more attention. For one, you can't hold a phone very well while changing gears from a stop.
Being Busy Doesn’t Mean You’re Successful
One time the person booking the flight for me thought it would be funny to choose a Halal meal. Jokes on them, it was spicy and delicious. Got funny looks when I ordered a beer to go along with it though.
We would solve all our problems at once if only we could come up with a process that would make parenthood opt-in, rather than opt-out... Like a reversible vasectomy.
It's the same as the (generally left) folk feel fine about when preserving areas from other cultures.

Want to preserve Oakland or the Mission as is? That's fine.

Don't like seeing women forced to walk around in burkas and girls having their genitals cut (I live in London where these re both issues)? That's racist. Obviously Islam isn't a race, and this makes no sense, but it's something people still claim.

Either preserving existing cultures is OK or it isn't.
In my mind fake news and biased news are two different concepts. All news should be taken with skepticism, because every bit of it from every news outlet is subject to potential bias. I'm aware that many news outlets published biased news against Sanders (and Trump and Clinton), and I'm aware that Bezos owns media outlets that may be biased. But organizations that employ fact checkers don't make up news stories out of thin air.
Bootstrap and go from there.
I don't think COM is going away either, despite the cross platform ideas. The entire Windows system is built on COM, and the new UWP apps are COM apps but they do not inherit directly from IUnknown - they inherit from a child of IUnknown (if only I could remember what the interface is called, sorry).
I believe that software can be patented in the EU if you have a clever patent agent...

From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_under_the_Eur...

> Under the EPC, and in particular its Article 52,[1] "programs for computers" are not regarded as inventions for the purpose of granting European patents,[2] but this exclusion from patentability only applies to the extent to which a European patent application or European patent relates to a computer program as such.[3] As a result of this partial exclusion, and despite the fact that the EPO subjects patent applications in this field to a much stricter scrutiny[4] when compared to their American counterpart, that does not mean that all inventions including some software are de jure not patentable.

Going back to the original question, I certainly wouldn't want to start an open source project knowing that Qualcomm might sue me for patent infringement. Defending their intellectual property is part of their core business strategy.
I think some airlines have that option. I seem to remember Virgin America in 2011 had inflight touch-screens where you could order meals (for a price) and have it brought to your seat on demand. Air Berlin also had an option to pre-order a meal on your flight for extra cost - it wasn't amazing, but I was happy with it.

On flights where the meal has been free (Singapore & Qantas), I've also been happy with the food provided.
Written by Howard Dean's former staffer [1].

This article smells like DNC propaganda. Firstly, this is an old story. The heart of the news is about 2 years old [2] and it's Graff's first article for bloomberg [3] though he has been writing for Wire and Politico (his former paper)

Secondly, the author is exploring political career of his own in Vermont [4] and it's very possible his Politico article (that changed the blame to lack of technology skills by Hillary) [5] and this article are meant to curry favor for DNC players as he is making his own political bids.

Lastly, the author makes conclusion the hacks were done by Russians, perhaps one of the greatest foreign operations in decades, has undoubtedly been Russia’s successful effort to influence this fall’s presidential election through hacking however as others pointed out there is no clear evidence of this.

Overall, this shows the sophisticated state of political propaganda in US and how it operates to shape the minds of the readers. We're in for a bumpy ride.

An Introduction to mo.js
No, I think more like Dodge Charger Hellcat buyers. Those who pony up for a 911, SLS or R8 want a car that'll go faster around the Nürburgring than a Honda Civic Type R. Which I think even the P100D won't be able to (too heavy, brakes and motors overheat).

Edit: why the downvotes? It's well documented that the P90D is no quicker than a Civic Type R around a proper racetrack.
Yes, but patent process is more strict.

With wheels on the bottom of the car acceleration transfers weight to the rear axle. The forward forces on the car body are below the CG so produce a net rearward tilting torque.
When I used to work in OS support my actions were optimized for the assumptions of a default minimal install and being able to describe actions to a person of questionable knowledge over the phone and interpret what they would most likely try to read back at me. The certifications were along those lines too.. While the exact nature of the certifications was ridiculous and would be even more ridiculous in terms of judging a general user's skills, dropping an administrator on minimal installs with broken ttys, etc makes a lot of sense. If you can't recover a system when vi is not an option then you have a problem, if you spend a lot of time recovering a good term when you could have used tail, then you are also not ideal.

The only suggestion I would make is that a good tool is present and working then I don't expect a penalty. I expect tools to not be present accordance with standard minimalist setups and to pay extreme penalties if I need to call a package manager or move to a less minimalist install to complete the task.

PoisonTap – exploiting locked computers over USB
From "How politics makes us stupid":

Presented with this problem a funny thing happened: how good subjects were at math stopped predicting how well they did on the test. Now it was ideology that drove the answers. Liberals were extremely good at solving the problem when doing so proved that gun-control legislation reduced crime. But when presented with the version of the problem that suggested gun control had failed, their math skills stopped mattering. They tended to get the problem wrong no matter how good they were at math. Conservatives exhibited the same pattern — just in reverse.

Being better at math didn’t just fail to help partisans converge on the right answer. It actually drove them further apart.

Parent may not be talking about scale in terms of Traffic but big project code-base where you and team have a hard time keeping something in head and how something is being rendered.
If you have a capable system an automatic can be an advantage.

My car has several modes including Sand and Snow. Both modes will remap the transmission and provide more/less torque. In some modes it will even start in 2 so you don't spin your wheels and get stuck. The throttle response in the pedal will also be increase/decreased as well as the sensitivity of the steering wheel.
Airline food isn't bad, American airline food is bad.

If they do that then they can also take advantage of mutli-phase power that they could modulate to change the speed thereby running it at a higher torque at lower speeds.

Vegan suits everyone, and it simplifies things for the airline and the cabin crew. On a flight from New York I requested a vegetarian meal. The passenger next to me was Muslim, and he requested a halal meal. We compared what we got,and they were both the same. If there were any Jewish or Hindu passengers on the flight that's what they'd have got too. And if they simply ran out of meat dishes, they would just apologize and offer the vegan dish instead.

PostgreSQL, it also has the advantage, that SQLite is modelled after pgsql, so porting is going to be slightly easier than MySQL.

Also, both of them (MySQL and PostgreSQL) can handle an enormous amount of concurrent work at very high speed.

Hi wikibob, yes I am aware of that and the article where the ghost writer laments his association with Trump post the book being published.

However that does not invalidate my point... which is that by reading the book one can better understand Trump's approach to the media and what I believe will be his approach to the presidency.

So, in spite of the ghost writer, consider that Trump did put his name to the book and endorse it, therefore I think it is reasonable to assume that he was happy with the contents. Certainly if the roles were reversed I believe anyone would read a book about themselves and insist on changes if there were major errors prior to publishing.

First of all, mixing Chavez in with Mao and Pol Pot is ridiculous. Pol Pot is responsible for killing 1.6 million people. He ran labor camps, etc. Please name how many people were killed on purpose on orders of Chavez. Please name a labor camp.

I'm not even sure if Mao should be directly compared to Pol Pot. Probably not.

Second, the Labour party has been social democratic for at least 30 years. It cannot be compared to communist parties at all.
Solving good automatic transmission in isolation is basically solving general AI. And then you have the opposite problem of constantly trying to predict how the black box will behave.

Much better to have the driver (regardless of human or software) control both transmission and the other concerns.
My best guess is that they're actually going to use the ITS first stage for this. If that's true, we may see as many as 500 of these launched in one go, with a reusable first stage.
Brand lift or Sales Lift? Brand lift is a bit different because there are a lot more companies offering this due to more simplicity. The shortcoming of Brand Lift is every vendor has their own methodology when it comes to deciding what exactly is a marginal lift in brand awareness. I think the easiest option for a lower budget is using a FB/IG brand awareness campaign and looking at ad recall numbers (https://www.facebook.com/business/help/1029827880390718). However, we don't really know how they calculate this number and it would only be useful to benchmark between campaigns (if you trust the number). The best option right now is to find a vendor that polls the user who saw the ad, like Vizu (Nielsen). Unfortunately, to get a stat. significant read, you probably need a lot of results, and thus would need higher media spends.
That wasn't really my question. Of course if you never post on social media, the answer is easy, so let me rephrase: If you were an active social media user and became a victim, would you refrain from posting about it just because you don't have evidence that would hold up in court?
So this is to have a test VM they have to fix? Excellent! I heartily approve of this method for finding a sysadmin.

This is a thread where I talk about how we did this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8332104

We used to use it a lot - a trivial Java webapp running in a slightly misconfigured Tomcat with a slightly misconfigured Apache in front on a slightly misconfigured Unix box - though it's fallen by the wayside because we never quite get around to the faff of setting up a slightly broken test system for them. So having that as a service would be pretty good.

If this is what you're doing: I suggest not just keystrokes, but that they keep a log of what they're doing and thinking. Because we never expect them to fix everything wrong with the box, but we do want to know how they approach it.
Festivals: Is there good software to handle organizer and vendor coordination?

Then it's a failure in marketing, as the fire deparment doesn't market itself as "department for throwing water at houses". Maybe BLM should be more clear about its goals?

I'm not really up-to-speed with US politics, but I know it's horrifying how easily and with impunity the police have been killing black people. Still, "Black lives matter" isn't a great slogan, and calling "all lives matter" racist definitely seems like an overreaction. I'm not familiar with ALM's positions, though, so maybe it's a racist organization in disguise, I don't know.
I should add that the coverage in the parts of rural India I was in last year was far better than rural coverage in the US, surely due in part to population density but it's clear cost is the major hurdle left.
I don't think most of us normal people would do that.
What is airline food?

Seriously, last time I had food served to me on a plane was 5 years ago. I must be using the wrong airlines. Unless you count chips or a cheese and cracker plate you have to pay $9 for.
Chavez tortured most of his opponents. No killing fields, or year 0, but advocating and using violence for political purposes is clearly a connection. Obviously, Momentum aside, Labour is against such ideas, that was precisely my point.

Edit: you edited your post to add:

> "Pol Pot is responsible for killing 1.6 million people. He ran labor camps, etc. Please name how many people were killed on purpose on orders of Chavez. Please name a labor camp."

...after I added multiple sources showing Chavez using torture and other forms violence. Nobody claims Chavez was as violent as the others - in fact, I specifically claimed the opposite in my reply before you edited your post. Merely that he used violence including torture.

> Possibly, but maximum memory usage is rarely predictable anyway. I expect it might be even less predictable than maximum latency.

Well, if you don't need a bound on memory usage you can just never deallocate.

> Suppose some amount of reclamation is done on malloc(), a tunable parameter could measure the ratio of allocation speed of the running program and amount of unreclaimed garbage. This ratio would control how much reclamation work to do before returning from malloc() so you can fall into steady-state.

Sure, but that doesn't guarantee anything about what your maximum spikes are going to be. You can have a firm bound on memory consumption or a firm bound on latency, but you can't get both without doing some serious application-specific work.

This would be great. Lifting the restrictions that keep insiders from publicly disclosing information would likely improve market efficiency, reduce the value of true insider trading, reduce the spoils that go to information thiefs, and help to motivate and educate new entrepreneurs.
Can it really be faster than fiber? The majority of traffic flows somewhere between Europe, North America, and East Asia. The only part where submarine cables take a detour is Europe<->Asia. US<->Europe and US <-> East Asia are fairly direct. Why is the speed of light faster for satellites than fiber? Even if the satellites are "just" a few hundred kilometers above earth, I can't see how they can have a shorter (and thus faster) way.

That aside, I don't think there's a big market for even lower latency (apart from algo traders). It's bandwidth that matters. You can get stable <150ms round trip times Europe<->East Asia and much shorter times to the US already. Problems with servers on other continents are not due to high latency but low throughput. And as others have pointed out, I don't think a system of satellites can compete with enormous bandwidth a single sea cable can provide.

Does anyone know if there are actual numbers out that show how satellites could transfer even a fraction of what's already travelling below surface?

Rural areas will definitely profit. But while the goal is great (internet for all), it's probably not what pays the bill. Aren't FB/Google's ideas of planes/balloons cheaper?

Ask HN: How will net neutrality fair under the Trump administration?
With the FCC having been recently asked (and quickly complying) to clear its agenda to make way for the new administration, it is evident that Tom Wheeler is on his way out. Tom Wheeler was a strong proponent of Net Neutrality, while Trump has lambasted it throughout his campaign. The next FCC chairperson is likely to be anti-Net Neutrality; so what can the technology community do to prepare for new leadership and new direction from the FCC? If policy fails, how might the internet's democracy fight the financial interests that have long denounced Net Neutrality?
