A really large amount goes through Canada. The port of Vancouver is bigger than Oakland, and the port of Manzanillo Mexico is only slightly smaller. Both ports have rail connections to the US interior. The Mexican ports have lower market share because they are pretty far from Chinese origins, but if you want to amuse yourself you can Google up a lot of crazy conspiracy theories about the connections between Mexican ports and the US city of Kansas City. Many deranged people believe that the Mexicans are usurping our sovereignty via an obscure customs office in Kansas City that is (barely) connected by rail to the port of Lazaro Cardenas.
This is pretty troubling: not this specific case, but what it means for Germany down the road.

In and of itself, there isn't anything wrong with merely going around and kindly asking people to stop engaging in behavior you find objectionable. That's part of free speech and freedom of action. Actually, many more problems in society should be solved through this kind of voluntary effort rather than the heavy hand of government using force and throwing people in metal cages. As long as no violence or intimidation is used, this is great.

But is anybody naive or politically correct enough to think that peacefully advocating certain behaviors is truly the end result here?

Nautilus has such amazing content and such a bone-headed staff managing distribution. Their web store is so problematic, and when I changed addresses they stopped sending 3/4 of a whole year's subscription, with a response that boiled down to 'sorry don't know'. The content made me fall in love, the logistics drove me away from subscribing :(

Just thought it was interesting that there might be an upside to this specific case of misogyny. If they succeed, they blow all expectations; if they fail, weren't expected to be Steve Jobs anyway.
Most of it can't, actually. Rather, using the words in the question in their strict meaning, most of the hardware out there is not on the "public internet", it is behind NAT.

You can argue that behind NAT there is still IPv4 connectivity with public internet, but it is actually closer to proxying (i.e. having some device talk to internet on your behalf) than to routing (i.e. have some device pass your packets on).

Long story short, there is (for a long time already), no IPv4 public internet. There is IPv4 public interconnect between millions of isolated IPv4 islands. And a lot of hacks and shady engineering to make packets traverse from interconnect to islands and back.

> The argument for this style though is that some projects have a big public liability and records must be kept.

It is incredibly hard to get public institutions to update their processes. The way to do so is, sadly for us geeks, not technologically driven. I'm sure you know this, but to articulate it for other commenters: building and offering a better technological solution is not even 1% of the work. You are a technologist talking to non-technologist people. Getting people to agree on it and then use it is 99% of the work.
We've discussed doing it for OpenShift - the best reason someone has articulated so far is the automatic SSL cert handling that ALB offers. It's definitely not complex to prototype, so I'm hoping someone does get to it.
Also don't mean to be a downer or salty, but you might as well have said "The lotto system was built to make people like me wealthy".

Until it is a platform that offers universal opportunity to everybody who builds something, then it is really no more than a pot luck draw that is too reliant on timing, marketing shine, and debasing yourself in front of 'influencers' in the hope that they will give you their royal blessing.

I've self posted, and had other post to PH in the past, with dismal results. Once I had a product of mine 'hunted' on there by a total stranger, which was cool, but I couldn't add anything to the conversation because I was never added as a 'maker' despite several requests via the site and Twitter. I missed that magical 24 hour window and the product listing sank like a stone never to be heard of again (because of their 'no posting repeats' rule).

Don't even get me started on the humiliating experience of having to beg around for an invite in the early days just so I could participate in discussions.
I believe the OP is a first year CS student, so a full time offer probably didn't make sense.
Do you generally have the impression that these acquihires are bonanzas? They aren't: they're usually only marginally more lucrative than the signing package for a senior hire gets anyways, and sometimes less so. Employers gussy them up for team members by giving aggregate numbers, counting on team members not to divide them by 4 and compare them to competing offers. Investors hate them.

The acquihired team is usually only getting two things from them: the founders save face (publicly, not with future investors, who know what an acquihire is), and the whole team gets placed, rather than having to interview individually.

Even that last bit isn't always true.

Awesome! As someone interested in compilers and interpreters who has not completed a degree in computer science it was quite hard to get any of the background. This post is spot on: you'll either read a 1000 page book about it or you're stuck reading tiny blog posts. Notation also sucks for beginners, few books ever bother explaining it at all. My favorite/most helpful text I've found so far is Essentials of Programming Languages, which covers a wide variety of topics and introduces them as parts of (complete) interpreters. The code is written in very readable Scheme (so much so that I was able to understand everything despite not knowing Scheme or Lisp at the time I began reading it).
But if that exists, why should I as someone running on EC2 care if I can use IPv6 natively or have to make use of such proxying/routing?
I pretty much gave up on ridesharing after our daughter arrived, and use our own vehicles exclusively (each with a car seat semi-permanently installed).

This isn't really a graphical programming interface. The stuff inside of the blocks is code that's deployed separately and does a thing. There's a graphical thingy that allows you to describe state transitions between those blocks of code but you aren't really programming.

It would be very bad form to wait until there was a prevalent set of users that couldn't access your service. It's almost the other way around, AWS – because it operates such a huge chunk of Internet sites – will bring the day where it's reasonable to ditch ipv4 much closer by expanding ipv6 support.
Or, to elaborate a little further, https://www.iab.org/2016/11/07/iab-statement-on-ipv6/
Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics and therefore only depend on maths. Maths, is by definition, eternally stable.
Yes I understand that conceptually.
But the middle autoencoder layer is not really an output layer, what would constrain it to linear representations?
I assume normal output layers are constrained to linear representations by the supervised training process.

Minor nit-pick: an interpreter need not work line-by-line, but rather (more commonly?) AST-node-by-AST-node. This isn't necessarily true for BASIC interpreters or something resembling assembly, but in general the code is represented as a tree of parsed values by the time the interpreter starts running your code.
I wonder if the losses of soil carbon are not solely caused by global warming. Poor land management via grazing methods, biodiversity loss and desertification, deforestation, and ocean life die offs could all release co2 into the atmosphere independent of fossil fuels. Can we measure these?
Clever (YC S12) - San Francisco - onsite

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and it’s even harder for them to scale. School districts spend tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but relatively simple challenges like getting 30 students logged in at once make using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change all that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after four years, half of all schools in the US (65,000 schools) are using our platform. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things:

-a single place where schools can easily integrate, manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and

-a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps.

We’re a team of 120 (40 engineers) based in downtown SF, and we’re looking for engineers who enjoy working in (or would enjoy learning) Go, Node and React. More generally, we want people who are sharp, adaptable, and passionate about improving the way education works for everyone. We're especially looking for a security-focused software engineer: a creative thinker who’d be excited to help keep students’ data safe.

It does. All interns that receive good evaluation feedback are offered to transition into full-time employees and this transition may not even require interview loop.
perhaps call it 'compensation'? It could be in a variety of forms, either $/yr, $/hr, per-project, etc.
It's a double-edged sword. I go to sleep between 12 and 12:45 every night, and wake up almost exactly six hours later without an alarm. It's great when waking up for work, it's really irritating on the weekends that I want to sleep in on.
What system do you use to keep track of your time?
Hokkaido.
Nice approach, and well explained! By the way, Niland is a startup that also does music labeling with the help of deep learning.

For example, it can output Drum Machine: 87%, House: 88%, Female Voice: 55%, Groovy: 93%
>Rods of god however have a prohibitive cost due to the cost of lifting objects to orbit.

they could easily be just shot up into the orbit from a sufficiently large conventional gun (like the 150 m long one that Bull was building for Saddam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Babylon) or a rail gun. The HARP project was firing the payload at 6Mach and at the 30km altitude (i.e. pass the most bulk of the atmosphere) it had a velocity about 5Mach (if my 6th grade physics calculation right)

Unless this is going to be tied with tariffs all this will do is give a massive cost advantage to foreign companies.
Perhaps. Dying very easily is sometimes a good thing for a species from an evolutionary standpoint.

In that midpoint form I mention there's a box you can tick if you want to do "conversion" interviews at the end of your internship. Since I still have two more years of uni I didn't tick that box.

I don't know enough AWS to understand the announcement, but if your servers and your clients can speak IPv6 and you can skip al the NAT, you don't have to debug NAT problems.
FWIW on the Bloomberg Terminal all these types of infrastructure can be played with as interactive map layers. Nuclear, refineries, pipelines, etc., so the data is definitely available and not "secret" by any means.
Fascinating tidbit for those who check the comments first:

> Intriguingly, using chromatic aberration to detect color is more computationally intensive than other types of color vision, such as our own, and likely requires a lot of brainpower, Stubbs said. This may explain, in part, why cephalopods are the most intelligent invertebrates on Earth.
The reason there are all these posts in the last few days is because AWS's conference re:Invent is going right now in Las Vegas, and a lot of these announcements are therefore being made right now.
Well, they did mean it for real. They didn't directly give me feedback on how to improve it, other than "go home, man". It's a personal choice in the end :)
The kernel just gives you pointers and sizes via mmap/sbrk, it is up to you to keep track of them.
> In many of these experiments, older mice that received younger blood saw either slight or no significant improvements compared to old mice with old blood. Young mice that received older blood, however, saw large declines in most of these tissues or organs.

> The researchers think that many benefits seen in old mice after receiving young blood might be due to the young blood diluting the concentration of inhibitors in the old blood.

How can these things be compatible? If it were diluting the inhibitors, that should have shown up as an improvement in the old mice, no?

Yes, I was saying once it's constructed.
The reasons are many. I'll name just a few:
* You cannot send UDP packets to your IPv4 customers.
* You cannot initiate TCP connections to your IPv4 customers.
* You cannot use any application-level protocol that carries information about source or destination IP address.
* IPSec more or less goes out the window
Thanks! If anything, the notice was excessive (six months) - so it's been challenging to search for a new position as we won't be able to start until February 1st (without abandoning our severance packages at least.) Most of us have either lined up something afterwards, or are beginning to search now (I'm still selectively searching for now) - hopefully we all move on to something better!
No it was more a joke between me and a colleague, because even though we got gourmet food three times a day he would just eat potatoes and eggs all the time

Something tells me this is going to be like turning cocaine into crack. Apart from saving them money, I bet you find people selling their grandma's TV for a go on another KitKat.

And yes; boycott Nestle for many reasons, mostly because all of their products are terrible for you or other people.
OK, thanks for the answers. We had product code on code.google.com and it was definitely a bummer when the site shut down. I'm possibly alone in the galaxy in saying this but I really liked their bug tracker which was lightweight but just functional enough to be really useful.
Sun changed its mind about whether SunOS / Solaris x86 was going to be a real, serious thing several times over the years. I wouldn't blame vendors for steering clear of the mess until it worked itself out. Which it certainly did...
What was confusing for me is understanding that by default Emacs does not back up on every save. It makes a copy when you first open a file, so only the version of the file before you start editing it is what gets backed up.
There is no such thing as 'good' from an evolutionary standpoint.
You individually? There really isn't a reason to. *

However, as a whole, the lack of native IPv6 support in EC2 certainly held back the global deployment cycle. It's the chicken and the egg problem: Without support for servers that use IPv6, there is no reason for last mile providers to implement it in households. With this update, a huge swath of sites will get support, hopefully leading to quicker adoption for end users.

* for most applications. This is certainly trivializing a subset of applications where this could be useful.
This is a really good subject - there's an interesting documentary about it called Until The Light Takes Us, which I highly recommend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Until_the_Light_Takes_Us
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I'd actually forgotten about the notwithstanding clause entirely.

Still though, Canada's legislation seems no more restrictive than most other (Non-U.S.) democracies. That's according to my quick read of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_by_country (so take it for what it's worth). I mean, surely there are some that are marginally better but it doesn't seem like there are any obvious leaders here. Maybe I'm missing something though.

Given that, I don't see how Canada would be a bad choice for a mirror. Especially given the other distinct advantages. Physical proximity being an obvious one (it's probably much more cost effective to build some servers pre-loaded with data and drive them up versus almost any other option). Same time zone, same language, and general political/social/economic stability are probably also pretty key. And then there are other threat considerations (eg. the Baltics being so close to Russia) that come into play.
>As a result of their fight, the FBI folded, rescinding the NSL and unsealing associated court records rather than risk a ruling that their surveillance orders were illegal.

This scares me. I know why we have a legal system that allows this kind of behavior, and those reasons are good, but the few times someone pokes someone with the resources to fight back, they get to say "nevermind!" instead of it being ruled that they can't go around poking people like that? Then they keep going around hurting everyone else. It's a terrible state of things that systemically leads to bad behavior, but I can't think of a better system :(
This seems quite reasonable to me. They want to protect their brand. They don't want people thinking "Ubuntu is an unstable piece of crap", when what they're running is a modified version that doesn't work correctly. If you want to modify it, play by their rules or remove their trademarks.
Strand Life Sciences strandls.com does this in a small way. Looking for more such companies.
Not sure why this is downvoted, it's mostly true. At this point, getting an offer from Google has nothing to do with engineer skill. Only one thing matters, spending time studying algorithms/data structures and being able to quickly pattern match it to random problems. It's just like cramming for a final exam in college. Massive amount of info pushed into short-term memory and then after finals week, flushed out. Has nothing to do with your skill or experience as an engineer.

If I saw a resume and it had Google on it, it doesn't really tell me much other than they played the tech interview game well. It would actually be a signal that I should not interview them like the way Google and others do because they know how to do optimized studying for it. Instead, some other interview method should be used to find out if they're actually a good engineer instead of just good at studying.
