There's often macros you can use to help. In that case, sure, it's C code. Another "it's just C code" is debugging CPython: https://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb These macros let you inspect both the C stack and the Python stack, and some other stuff. Super super handy for rare cases where shit just gets weird.

If you read the Wikipedia article, you'd see that it's a broad topic, and not limited just to the Nazis. Just because there's "Nazi" in the text, it doesn't mean that this is an invitation for a flamewar!

Again and again, you prove that this community here is immature and unproductively oversensitive!
Assuming you want to provide IPv4 and IPv6 to the outside:

You can relatively easily map IPv4 addresses into IPv6 range: just pick a /96 prefix and append the 32 bit IPv6 address. This is a relatively easy translation, that does not require the machine doing the translation to keep state !!! (so you can send traffic to a random one and it can do the right thing, no need to have connections stick to one). It is thus quite easy to make an IPv6-only network deal with IPv4 clients. With decreasing IPv4 usage, your network naturally adapts since it only becomes easier.

The reverse is not easily possible for serving IPv6 clients from an IPv4 network: you can't map IPv6 1:1 to IPv4, so your gateways have to be more like traditional NAT and keep state tables around, which makes operation in general and load-balancing/fail-over in particular harder. The more and more IPv6 clients you have, the more resources you need for the translation. And at some point in the future, you are going to want to switch.

You could alternatively run your entire DC on IPv4 and IPv6 double-stack, but that adds a lot of unnecessary complexity. Your routers now have to keep routing tables for both around, behavior could differ for both, your applications (logging, fraud prevention, ...) have to understand both, ...

If you are in a position where you control everything you run (so you can make sure there aren't any stragglers that require IPv4 because their vendor doesn't care or something like that), the IPv6 model can be attractive. Do the switch and be done with it for the future, limit your dealings with two protocols to the very edge.
Why Subversion?
Although your question was well-intentioned, you inadvertently triggered a subthread that had nothing to do with the topic at hand (Product Hunt). Also, the point you were asking for clarification about happened to be made-up bullshit. That term isn't in wide use in SV; rather, the commenter was fabricating things. It would have been better to mark that comment off-topic rather than yours, since the rot started there, but then people would accuse us of censoring criticism of Silicon Valley.

Pretty sure the twice in one week thing is just randomness doing its usual. The intention behind HN moderation is to keep it pretty steady.

[cephalopds] are colorblind – their eyes see only black and white – but their weirdly shaped pupils may allow them to detect color

Do PR people ever think about the awfulness of the drivel they write? I see the point the author is trying to make here but writing self-contradictory sentences is not the wright approach.

Cephalopods, long thought to be color-blind, may in fact be able to detect color....

Although the retinas of cephalopods cannot detect different colors, new research suggests they may be able to detect color another way.

...etc.
Yup, it's so superior that it seems ludicrous that others are considered comparable. The taste of it isn't quite like sugar, but it's close, and it's WAY better than any of the non-polyalcohol-sugar artificial sweeteners... and, IMO, is better tasting than isomalt, which comes second in tastiness to me, sorbitol 3rd place... I don't much like xylitol.
There’s so much technology that can be precision-produced.

Sadly, no. Companies that built expensive precision machinery, from movie cameras to gyrocompasses, are dead or dying.
Yes, the treatment of their employees in the workplace is very much Google's business. Accomodating LGBT employees is not only the right thing to do, it's also supported by many of the binary/cisgender/straight/non-queer/what have you employees at workplaces like Google.
You can do that already with user exposed controls on iOS. Just force shut down the app.
At my company, we used to use IPv6 internally and IPv4 publicly for future proofing and easier migration to a all IPv6 environment. Instead of changing the entire infrastructure we just had to change the gateway.

Many countries which provide socialized healthcare do it for much, much cheaper than we do, even without being based on a market.

If removing something from the market led directly to massively inflated costs, we'd expect those systems to be the most expensive, but that's just not true.

This is why it's important to minimize the attack surface. Yes, there is always going to be risk when you store tracking data. You are choosing to create that risk by storing any data beyond what is specifically necessary. Uses such as "Optimizing pickups and dropoffs" are optional, which you more or less admit when you said it was something "we could do".

Alternatively, you could prioritize the safety of your customers by minimizing the risks they acquire when they use your service. The data collected for the ride could be minimized. You could expunge user data when it is no longer needed. You could find ways to store only aggregate data instead per-user values.

> we put safeguards in place

You also made design and business decisions that created the need for those safeguards. You are protecting your users from a problem that you created.

edit:

> we do our best to serve our users as best we can

You could be indemnifying you users for any damages that derive from the data you are choosing to store.
You can preserve in a very light syrup.
For example they sell imported cherries and sour cherries in ethnic stores which have very little sugar in the syrup and they taste great!
Lol, what? Stop trying to shoehorn unrelated things into your narrow view of the world.
I think the thing that really determines whether I break something into a separate function is state. The more state I have to pass into my function, the more useful that function has to be to justify its existence.

A good name also helps a lot.
I wonder how many ethicists FB has on staff, and how they feel about the ethics of getting paid to tell the decision makers what would keep them awake at night if they were the sort of people who lost sleep over such things.

Huh? But you can use C# on a Mac... I should know, I just came home from doing that all day at work. .NET Core works great on Mac, and imports many dlls just fine.

That being said if it was quite an old dll, and never compiled under PCL or netstandard, maybe not. There's still Mono, but, well, I can definitely understand reluctance in this case, and indeed would choose a different way in a different language myself, if that was my only option left that way.

Been using OpenTracing with LightStep and they have a really solid product, and a super well thought out API design in OpenTracing. Highly recommend checking them out, especially since OpenTracing saves you from vendor lock-in and works using AppDash/Zipkin/etc.

Another classic from Moribund. It's a draw between Satans Host and Drawn and Quartered as my favorite from that label. No shit the only album I used to be able to fall asleep while listening to was Hail Infernal Darkness. I saw Satans Host with Deicide in Colorado on June 6th 2006 too. Crazy show.

I love Infester's grinds and sludge but the vocals are too muddy for me personally - they don't have the bite (range) of Schuldiner, Benton or Barnes.
When people ask why I use Lyft instead of Uber, I tell them about their sleazy actions a few years back (journalist intimidation, "god mode", etc.). I now have an up to date example to add.

Thanks, Uber!
None of these use cases demand "always" to be the only choice, with no way to choose "while using".

Your company is grossly overstepping privacy bounds, and your excuse making post is largely irrelevant. And it's wholly reasonable to be distrustful of a place where execs threaten to blackmail journalists and remain employed. It'd be ridiculous to trust Uber.
>But it's worth saying that things are locked down _pretty damn tight_ around sensitive data.

Which means absolutely nothing as an assurance. Even if that's the case today, in 5 or 10 years the company could go down, or change CEO and be all about exploiting the data, or selling it to advertisers or whatever. Or it could just be a hack that releases millions of ride information (it has happened to the best of web services).

That's the problem when you store data, making whether you have some "pretty damn tight locks" in place irrelevant.

I'm not claiming that they don't collect as much data as possible including data with no immediate use. Perhaps they do. I don't know. I'm claiming that this instance does not appear to demonstrate them doing so.
I really recommend you educate yourself thoroughly on these substances before diving in. Fortune favors the prepared mind.
So, will Oracle open source what they closed after killing OpenSolaris? I'd also appreciate ZFS with GPL compatible license.
Yeah, it's not also as if the government (or another government, as Uber is worldwide) can't also take hold of the Uber data...
I'm not sure QGIS is quite ready for your average municipal GIS user yet. I did 6 years at a city and was involved with a regional GIS users group - it was an odd mix of people trained in geospatial sciences (geography/forestry etc) and people who had attended a couple of ESRI classes after they were told to learn GIS - ArcGIS desktop is a more visually refined experience especially if you are used to the windows world. Likewise with PostGIS - SQL is a scary tool for many GIS staff. It's frustrating in some ways but also a sign of job security for the immediate future!

I work for an organization with several GIS groups and there is a strong push to get everyone under the IT umbrella. When I see the sums of money IT are looking to pay for ArcGIS Server/Portal/Online + database licensing I see a LOT of potential developer hours being burned up in licensing. Sadly many IT shops strongly favour COTS solutions and ESRI are the Microsoft of the GIS world....

Laser etching machines are going down in price yearly. I once thought about a good etching to put on a diamond;

"Hello--file the divorce papers. I hoped this day would never come, but just had a weird feeling. That day has come. Talk to me tonight?"

Yes, it would go all the way around the girdle of the diamond.

(I used to be romantic, but not anymore. Just too much greed, ugliness in relationships. Or, maybe it was just my generation?)
I don't think 19guid has a problem with using a toilet or being an asshole. I think the question is why is dissent from specific political views looked down upon?

I have been in Silicon Valley for almost a year now after moving from the Midwest. I have been able to talk freely with my coworkers about some of my conservative views. Yet when I have shared what would count as "traditional values" on internal forums I have been on the receiving end of redicual and name calling.

I very much would like to hear a thoughtful response on why Silicon Valley is so unaccepting of political dissent.
Me as well. A step to far for my liking.
Learning to Learn
All of the examples presented seem like they could be approximated pretty well by tracking only up the the point of drop-off, but tracking location and person history. And there are a lot of unintended consequences available along with the example use cases in watching for five minutes after drop-off. How carefully data is kept only lowers the probability of breach or misuse. Only not keeping data zeroes out the probability of breach or misuse.
Request IDs and their variants are only giving you correlated events, they don't encode enough information to connect causality and ordering of events. Basically: with request IDs you get a unordered bag of events, with proper tracing (trace id/span id/parent id) you get a DAG of events.

In practice, the analysis a DAG allows you to perform are way more powerful. So if you're in the process of setting that request ID stuff up, consider doing the tracing way.

Tesla has cars, not platforms. There's not much commonality between Tesla models. Ford has five car platforms with 28 models built on them. In the auto business, "platforms" are a manufacturing economy; they mean little to the consumer.

No tax break needed.
I agree with all of this if the programmer understands when to break off these functions into a object or abstraction. Other wise you are trying to figure out how to create a car object and turn it on while passing by all the engine functions that are parts of the implementation you simply don't care about. I'm starting to think compiled languages have something else going for them above interpreted languages as I start to miss reading and writing headers for how to use my class.
BTW, keep in mind, many people stay late or come in late to avoid traffic on the 101.
"This statement is true, not."
> If you want higher detail location information, do what Google did and send out cars with sensors.

It's not just about the locations, but about the interactions between the rider(s), driver, the location, and the time. A location might be difficult to pull over at during rush hour, but nearly empty later on. Drivers might be unable to get very close to an event venue. Certain streets might be difficult to drop passengers off safely on, based on traffic conditions (though we wouldn't know that). And of course, there are many applications around customer support that couldn't be solved otherwise.
Righto, that helps, thank you.

Yeah, but the thing is, people (and children) commit suicide all the time, shrooms or not. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't some depression or other tendencies lurking behind such a case..

There's a simple way to send a message: Set the location services setting to "Never" and just enter addresses for now (copy and paste from Maps if it's easier).

The important thing is that their analytics will pick this up, and if enough users do it, hopefully point toward re-enabling "While using."
It's totally on-topic. It's a planning/execution gap.

I'm very impressed by the small foot print of NATS server (2.8MB). It's definitely an interesting choice for IoT.
We currently have to make a choice between kafka and Nats and the decision is not easy. :)

Is it possible to know if the cluster version of nats will really be available in 2017 ? Our satellite is only launched in 2019. We would use it in the data processing center.
