How about the institutions in the news themselves?

I follow local emergency services on Twitter for alerts in my area. If shit gets real, all I want to know is where to avoid. Don't need to sit and gawk at CNN to get all the gossip.

I reach out to instructors/professors and discuss the work of those that reply (usually in STEM). Occasionally receiving copies of papers that are paywalled after being "officially" published.

Why do we need an aggregator like CNN, where a bunch of paid shills, spin out of context quotes leaving it no more useful than Facebook anyway? If you believe CBS Evening News and the rest haven't been propaganda mills all these years, I know of a bridge...

It's trivial to find the useful information if you want to know what's happening around you. And it can often, if not always, be had straight from the horses mouth.
Completely agree on this point! Also wish there was a way to remove Resource Groups from the top bar.
I'm not sure the last time the issue was looked at, but I could consolidate some of the benefits that have brought up here:

* Websockets support

* Http/2 support

* Layer 7 routing + Route to specific ports(stop sending all traffic to all nodes and preserve source ip)

* Request tracing(recently added to ALB)

I hope this doesn't sound too negative, and I KNOW you do a TON of work on this stuff, but there often seems a disconnect between the people working on the kubernetes integrations and the feedback coming through from people trying to run businesses on AWS. Which happens; it's tough to be in both roles if your business isn't infrastructure.
You can read The Little Schemer and The Seasoned Schemer which are deceptively easy to work through but teach you concepts some CS grad students are ignorant of. Following it up with Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs will make you a much stronger programmer.

You can work through Sedgewick's Algorithms course on Coursera to get a stronger foundation for the more technical aspects of compiler writing.

You can study Stanford's Compilers course online: https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/Engineering/Compilers/...

Averaged to an hour a day sounds about right actually. If you go to a couple of stores and don't just buy everything at one place it adds up. Every time I go shopping with my Dad or brother its a 5 hour jaunt with various excursions during the week.

Yes, this looks like a simple effort to safeguard against anticompetitive behavior of a well funded company. I think there should be proper regulation against this sort of freebies. Even more straight forward example would be Uber vs all other ride-sharing companies. They started off offering steep steep discounts to both drivers and riders (from their VC coffers) while running at a loss, making it impossible for any less funded competitor to even think of entering the business.

There should be some sort of regulation about starting off free and jacking up prices once the competitors are driven out of business. Or if such already exist, it must be enforced and made more stringent.
Information embedded in a pre-trained model (Google isn't given out that data, just access to an artifact) is helpful if your application lines up to goals of the model. I think it's an open question how broad that alignment might be. It totally depends on the application.

You can control the app, but you don't have control over the model.

It will be useful to some apps but I don't think it is going to be the secret weapon in Google's fight against AWS as Ben's article suggests. It's a neat argument but I think it ignores the reality of applications and machine learning.

> Webdesign has never been about taking functionality away.

Now I feel like we're not even speaking the same language. Some of the current trends in webdev are no advanced options, no configuration settings, preventing urls from setting state, etc. I think most of these have great intentions, but they do reduce functionality.

I'm just saying that, in general, I don't like the colors, extra elements, logos, etc. That's all clutter IMO that doesn't make sites less functional, but adds unnecessary cruft to them. I think this site is fine as is and doesn't need that extra stuff. If you think it does, then great! I'm glad you suggested it. I just disagree with you.

Doing some quick math the used car would have to be valued at 70% of the new car's value to make the monthly payments equal.
Edit: Also going to point out that you will lose about 10% of the new cars value just by driving it home and it will have a higher depreciation rate then the used car.

I am really glad to see this kind of thing. I built an important project on ECS at the beginning of this year, and it was an extremely frustrating uphill battle, and I consider myself a seven or eight out of ten with containers and container orchestration in general. I wanted so much to enjoy working with ECS, especially because it was the first major Docker project that particular client was working with, and I wanted to blow their minds. The choice to build on ECS was the client's (not mine), and ECS made their introduction to container orchestration lukewarm at best. Because of those obstacles, I have been recommending against using ECS. Seems like it's time for me to evaluate ECS once more to see how far it's come along.
That still gives the attacker the ability to emit arbitrary GPU machine code.

I am not familiar with the details of GPUs, but it would not suprise me if arbitrary code execution on a GPU can lead to root access on the main CPU. Anyone know if there is any protections against this (or if it is architectually impossible)?
Excellent point! You can reach me at kehunt@yammer-inc.com.
Offering something for free based solely on big capital sound like the definition of dumping, so anti-dumping laws is probably right.
The comparison with opioids is erroneous because prescribed opiates are given to a patient to take home, allowing abuse and diversion. MDMA use will take place at a medical practice. No abuse or diversion will take place (barring theft).
I thought they included it for the freight network (IIRC the overwhelming majority of train traffic in the US is freight).

It would be nice to distinguish the two.
Java has starting delays on lambda? Why would this be the case, I would think that it would have a running VM which could be flushed with new code to run.
Unemployement benefits, and how they're financed, vary by state. In NC, they keep track of a company's layoff history, and adjust the unemployment tax (levied on the employer) according to that history (hypothetically). There was a series of articles about some companies evading these and other taxes in 2012[0]. I also remember reports about unemployment tax shenanigans in New Jersey, but I can't find them quickly.

so your arugment is "http is more flexible so people misconfigure their servers and that affects availability".

that's a server config issue, nothing to do with either of the systems. If you're setting up a CDN (which is what these genomic servers are) you just configure the servers to serve files, nothing else.

My hundreds of aborted recursive FTP fetchs compared to my almost-never aborted recursive HTTP show that anything you're seeing about FTP being more stable is just a PEBKAC issue.

That's what I was thinking, especially reading this line:

> With the vast majority of us now working in open concept offices — some studies have said that 70% of US workers work in this kind of environment — companies are being forced to come up with novel ways to ensure we stay productive and don’t find ourselves driven delirious from the noise and chaos.

They are being forced. Who chose the open office concept in the first place!?
I don't think this is happening to journalism as much as journalism as an industry is doing it to themselves. I say this with the perspective of starting a local magazine in the early 2000s and running it for 10 years (and it's still going relatively strong after I moved on).

Over the past couple of decades, I've watched as media companies with legacy business and editorial structures are (largely) unwilling or unable to adapt to new channels of disseminating important information or driving revenue. At the same time they've eroded trust with their audiences through efforts like advertorials in magazines and over-reliance on syndicated national/regional content in newspapers...and pandering in both. The ones that haven't are doing well.

I remember a few years back reading a great piece by the great late writer David Carr who talked about SXSW and the local paper in Austin that spawned it as a great counter-example for how modern journalism as a business can be done well and successfully:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/23/business/media/23carr.html

Those running the big media properties are either going to finally wake up and adapt or die off...meanwhile, there are lots of niche publishers (and I use that term very broadly in terms of channels) will step up and successfully fill the voids they're leaving behind.

Thanks for the reference to the whitepaper. FWIW, I'm the kernel guy at Netflix who has been doing the performance work to get us to 100Gb/s from a single socket.

Another interesting optimization we've done (and which needs to be upstreamed) is TLS sendfile. There is a tech blog about this at http://techblog.netflix.com/2016/08/protecting-netflix-viewi....
We don't have a paper yet about the latest work, but we're doing more than 80Gb/s of 100% TLS encrypted traffic from a single socket Xeon with no hardware encryption offloads.
> Randal O’Toole, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, wrote in a blog post that government investment in our electrical infrastructure may not be necessary. “Private companies and public agencies are already taking care of this kind [of infrastructure], so if Trump’s plan applied to them, they would get tax credits for spending money they would have spent anyway,” he wrote. “That’s not revenue neutral.”

What a surprise, the libertarians don't want the government to do anything.
You can get used to it. In college, I had a semester where I was taking 6 classes, half of them project heavy grad classes. I only pulled one all nighter (that was on me) that semester, but I was regularly getting 5-6h of sleep when it wasn't Friday or Saturday. After a few weeks, it wasn't that bad until spring break came around. I got used to getting 8h again, so I had to readapt back to 6h.

Before the internet, we still had to pay for newspaper subscriptions, and their revenues were supplemented by advertising.

The advertising will continue. The subscriptions are only meant to define the audience demographics. Lots of print media companies actually limit their audiences to only marketable demographics, especially magazines. Magazines often say they're oversubscribed if they don't hit certain demographic profiles, so their advertisers aren't being wasted. For example, if a bunch of poor college males were subscribing to Vogue, it doesn't help their advertisers. And those subscriptions costs a ton of money in mailings, so they tighten their audience to be core advertiser friendly.
It's good to see that it's now possible to fight these NSLs off. The people receiving them can require a court to review the NSL before complying, and that just seems much, much better to me. The FBI can no longer just gag people and force them to comply without judicial oversight.
Neither because buying bitcoins doesn't help you not pay taxes.

If you have legitimate money that's reported to the IRS and taxed, what you do with it is largely irrelevant.

If you have illegitimate money (selling drugs, working under the table, etc) then you're not paying taxes on it to begin with. Buying bitcoin doesn't change that.

(And if you're paid in bitcoin, that's bartering and you either report it or you evade it.)
There are many retro computing enthusiast groups around (depending where you live - none here around Dublin, it seems) but I'm yet to see one dedicated to midrange or mainframe systems.

What attempts are there to bring the tech that makes Uber popular to the Taxi industry?

As someone that works in the coffee industry I've been excited to see some of the startups coming out now that could compete against companies like Nespresso using real coffee while still preserving convenience, automation and ease of use.

I think that represents a fundamental misunderstanding of Google's incentives. (disclaimer: I'm typing this from Google, but it's purely my own opinion.) (And wishing my experiment would finish running faster.)

Google's biggest revenue stream is ads. It has many others, but that's the big one. Ads are seen by people who use Google search, and who browse many ad-supported websites. Google also has a lot of users of its services, e.g., gmail, who have accounts. Some also entrust valuable data to Google.

Google therefore has a great deal of incentive to make sure that: (a) Nobody messes with the ability of general users to browse the Internet safely (preserving ad revenue); and (b) It's very hard to compromise users computers and gain access to their Google/gmail/whatever accounts (reducing support costs and keeping users happy), or destroy their data, or exfiltrate it. Even if the compromise was the user's computer, it's still a very bad experience.

Project zero is a pretty good example of this incentive structure in action. (such as fuzzing for windows font bugs: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/07/a-year-of-win... ).

With fuzzing itself, as DannyBee alluded to below, one of the leads of a lot of this infrastructure, Kostya Serebryany, is also personally passionate about seeing it be taken up to make the software of the world better. I've seen this in action - he convinced me to use libFuzzer to improve TensorFlow's robustness, and mentioned that he was doing so in part so I'd take that experience back to Carnegie Mellon and spread the word. :) (and it worked - https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/7231d01fcb2c... for example).
