Actually SiFive has two different lines planned. One platform has a memory controller, is multicore, is on a fairly recent process node, and has a 64 bit width. It's just not this one. This one's 32-bit on 180 nm with 16k SRAM.

Well, I know I was being sarcastic.

Although I suppose that if you held a gun to my head and forced me to select a commercial Unix for a project, and if my stunned perplexity didn't get me killed, HPUX would be an admirable choice.
One of the more interesting announcements. ECS has seemed like a non starter for any "serious" project for a while, but as someone who has been implementing mesos for the last few months, its pretty interesting that they would prioritize pluggable schedulers rather than getting better feature parity with kubernetes on google cloud.

Pluggable schedulers is one of the best features that is missing from kubernetes, swarm, and nomad. All the scheduling/lifecycle algorithms are pretty naive when it comes to any stateful (DBs, kafka) or batch (hadoop, spark) services. But even for typical webapps, pluggable schedulers give you a nice place to hook into a lot of the lifecycle that makes things like pre-warming or cleanly killing sockets at scale down a lot simpler.

So this is pretty cool... and makes ECS more attractive... but I wish it was just mesos which is built around the idea of providing a framework for building schedulers and would be way more portable.
People who think AV is good or even necessary are delusional. Never has there been software that was worse than the AVs I came in contact with. They pose more of a stability problem than malicious programs themselves.
I just wanted to point out the downvote button isn't a "disagree" button. One can make the case that arguing over climate science is flamebait, so if you want to downvote on those grounds then go ahead. But people shouldn't be punished for making specious arguments.

Unless someone is deliberately trolling, it's better to engage with them than to negate them by downvoting. Such engagement is what makes hackernews more highbrow and interesting than, say, reddit.
This is a baseless rumor. I have flagged this submission. It's just someone trolling the internet.

In general, I'd recommend against cutting the butter; not only is it delicious, but it also provides a nice dose of cholesterol - gotta keep those androgens high[1]. I'd argue that butter is the only healthy component of mac and cheese, so most people (excepting those with particular dietary needs) might as well keep it in and enjoy increased muscle mass[2] and a leaner body composition[3].

Responsibilities
- Build and enhance the front-end of Everwise's web applications.
- Turn mockups into working products.
- Rapidly prototype new features and quickly iterate on what works and what doesn't.

I feel like none of the AWS developer offerings (the Code* services) are compelling enough.

Kind of like a lot of Microsoft tools, they are all lacking but, hey, the have deep integration with each other, so easier gluing.
> I think you really need to take a breath here.

Maybe. You see, I hesitated after writing this, but then decided to stick with it. Just because I really am convinced that it is really bad advice. Based on my own sites (and pc-kombo.de is even in a related field), if you don't get the design at least near of being okay, people won't accept your site. Based on my studies, I know that usability does not get worse when giving it a proper design. And readability can simply (well, sometimes it's not that simple) be measured, but there is no reason at all it would get worse by doing the basics.

There is a small subset of people (socialized with another internet?) who really think the design of a site does not matter for them, or who disapprove of everything they think is modern design. Based on your comments, you are in that category. And some others commented in the same spirit here. Listening to those means making a site which 99% of internet users won't accept. At least as long as your site is not craigslist – but even current craigslist has more design than what I see on OPs site.

Not having a design is perfectly fine for a MVP. But not fine when going further. Stating otherwise actively hurts his chances of succeeding.

NASA climate research funding in jeopardy
As someone who writes AGPL software, I will say to most of us it isn't a downside: I would conceptialize that scenario as "your loss" and hope that my work helps give companies who are more friendly to the idea of community software at least a little bit of a competitive advantage over your company. In all seriousness: if you are intending to not contribute changes back (which is the only legitimate reason to avoid GPL variants: because you want to use someone else's work while hoarding your own), your gracious "using" of my software has absolutely no value to me...

This should definitely meet our needs in both cases: serving prerendered content when necessary, and also adding the security headers to the front end. And it's definitely a 10x better solution than having an extra EC2 instance with your private certs on it, just to run an nginx proxy with twenty lines of code.

I don't do anything with BTC, is there any visible difference between speculating and purchasing a product when looking at the block chain and/or the user's account?

And I'm not sure how the IRS views this, but if you buy 1 BTC for $750, then its value increases to to $1000 for 1 BTC, and you buy $1000 worth of merchandise, isn't that taxable appreciation on the order of $250, because you're getting $1000 worth of goods for $750?

I agree this is a wide net to cast and I hope this is appealed and overturned, but I just don't know from a technical or tax perspective if they can cast the net any narrower.

One obvious thing they've always had is monstrous amounts of bandwidth. That will help with some attacks.

But yeah, it's interesting to learn there's a baseline anti-DDoS thing that's on by default.
I'm not happy with your detaching this comment. Thanks for noting that you did it, and why, but other inflammatory comments in this thread have been tempered by well-reasoned child responses. That's reasonable dialogue.

Detaching an on-topic comment for taking the wrong tone doesn't feel like fair discussion.
I'm in the same boat as you. I have a TV and the cheapest cable/internet option I could get for the speeds I want through comcast. I stream whatever I get through chromecast stick and if it isn't offered that way I don't care to watch it.

My service comes with a set top box of sorts to watch like 10 different basic channels. It still is sitting in the trunk of my car unopened. Probably broken now that it has gone through a few winters sitting in my car's trunk. When I told them I wouldn't hook it up and asked if I could just not have it they kept telling me if I return it or don't take it my service will be disconnected.
> Is this why Clinton Foundation donations have massively fallen sense she lost the election?

If you are already see Clinton as corrupt, you'll see the reported drop in, particularly, foreign-government-linked donations as Clinton having less influence to sell.

If you already see Trump as petty and vindictive, or even merely widely perceived as such, you'Lloyd see it is people who may need to deal with the Trump Administration avoiding antagonizing that Administration.

Family court is terribly biased against men. http://www.realworlddivorce.com/
Always remember that technically correct is the best kind of correct. And repeat it frequently, so that others don't forget. And to imply that you are very frequently technically correct. And to backhandedly excuse yourself for injecting barely-relevant-but-indisputably-true facts into other people's conversations.~

You can also call it glycerol, if that helps. It helps me to not hear the alt-rock song by Bush every time I'm thinking of the chemical.

Glycerol may not taste as sweet as maltitol or sorbitol, but it won't make your bowels explode as violently, either. And it makes your low-sugar baking feel less dry.

This is such a negative, short-sighted outlook. A company doesn't need an immediate monetization strategy that's open to the public for it to have value that's attractive to an acquiring company.

Edit: Furthermore, PH definitely does have potential to have a large scale revenue stream. Any "destination" site that millions of people visit daily with intent to try/buy new products has major potential.

> Should all environments be monitored?

Yes. If you don't collect data about the environment, you can't tell whether
the current behaviour is normal or abnormal. Though not every environment
should send all alerts possible.

> I was wondering how others handle these problems internally or if we are the only ones who are having this discussion?

Monitoring is a tough topic -- still, after more than twenty years of
development in this field. The problem is that we still treat monitoring
systems as monolithic applications with hardcoded data collection and alerting
logic, instead of making them what they are: event stream processing engines,
with some publish-subscribe capabilities to allow attaching some external
logic.

I'm working on a toolbox that helps in building such a system
(http://seismometer.net/), though it's still lacks tools and its website is
more of a sketch than a project homepage.

In the meantime, you should think about how to allow different people to
select or filter out different notifications, possibly in such a manner
that they can process those notifications programmatically.
It's a shame Einstein couldn't see the work being done now in constructing space-time from quantum entanglement relationships. I wonder if he would have accepted it.
Part of it is that constantly being busy can create a lot of physical and mental fatigue and stress, making it difficult to do things you might otherwise even if there is some free time. "I never have time" can technically be a lie, "I can't do all this and stay sane" usually isn't.

I've found even the thought of worrying about work I need to do in the near future can prevent me from participating in hobbies, despite having ample time for those hobbies.
Well, the reason I joined as a CTO was to make sure that when I got one myself it wouldn't be terrible. So I swear on my honor that it won't be terrible, if that calms your mind. :-)

Exactly. See also: "trade deficit/surplus" and "value". Economists use all sorts of jargon that really does not convey to the layman what it actually means.
> Wouldn't the 24 gram loss of sugar mean a 24 gram loss of mass in the candy bar?

No. That's what I'm trying to explain. Let's assume they're going to make the candy bar the same size regardless of ingredients. If sugar represents a smaller portion of those ingredients, it just means there will be more of the other ingredients relative to the sugar. You're really just adjusting a ratio of sugar to other ingredients.

Don't think of it in terms of a candy bar; instead, think of a giant vat filled with the melted chocolate that will eventually be turned into candy bars. By not adding as much of one ingredient, you're just raising the proportion of other ingredients to the total weight. Those other ingredients may be heavier or lighter than the absent ingredient, but it most likely won't just be air replacing it (they could add more air, but that's probably not necessary).

Even if the final product does end up being a bit lighter, I bet most people wouldn't care (and more people would appreciate the lower sugar content).

> Is [buy[ing] something with appreciated Bitcoin] a taxable event?

According to the IRS, yes.

> If the IRS considers Bitcoin property, am I just bartering with Dell when I buy a laptop with Bitcoin?

Yes, so if you buy 1 BTC for $750, the price increase dramatically and you buy a top-end gaming system from Dell (lol) then you're bartering and the excess value is taxable.
TBH I think you have a point there: the hot new thing is serverless and lambda so everyone I know really wants to work on those teams. I see where you're coming from for sure.

There are still a lot of talented and passionate people at Amazon who want to execute on other products. The S3 team is still growing 10 years later and they're still doing (IMO) cool stuff. I'm a devangelist though so I don't always get to see the inside of every team (not enough time). I do know that we all drink the customer focused kool-aide and we genuinely believe in it. Sorry if this all sounds like marketing.

Most of the brightest people I know you can't tell just by casually talking to them so in my past when I tried to find out of the box thinkers what I mainly found was pretentiousness. I'm not saying it's inevitable or even that some pretentiousness is always a bad thing but it would definitely be something that you would need to look out for.
