Really glad about your comment, i honestly havent thought about this a single time yet. I guess i am missing out on a lot of traffic.
I don't understand the downvotes. This is unfortunately an issue with Google projects. code.google.com was another useful service that bit the dust.
Level One: Hack into this fictitious bank's web site and transfer all the funds to this fictitious account. I know the web site looks real, right down to the correct URL, but that's just part of the game. For real.
True, but I always valued the constantly rendering screen and week long battery life far higher. If I needed to do something more complex than reply with an emoticon, after all a high powered, daily charged smartphone with a +5" screen is always in my pocket or nearby.

Having said that, the stop watch and timer apps, as well as music control all fit very nicely on the Pebble and I use them all the time.
Hold on, because installing AV in 1995 would not have done a whole lot more to protect you than installing in 2016 does. I was peripherally involved in the virus scene in the early 1990s --- in that I had close friends who were more than peripherally involved --- and my recollection is that AV was as much a joke then as it is now.

I had the pleasure of working for an antivirus company for a few years after they bought my firm. We were in the security group for that company. The antivirus people might as well have been in a different universe; there was no input from security whatsoever.

I always thought of BeOS as basically a reboot of the NeXT. Same niche, same promise, same flop ;-(. BeOS was later so they avoided the H/W side-road. A good thing.
So I suppose this means storing data in Postgres RDS is HIPAA compliant now by default?

At a minimum, you'd still have to sign that BAA with them. I mention that not for you, but for anyone else at home thinking "oh, I can deploy RDS/PostgreSQL and be OK with HIPAA without doing anything else!" That's (still) not the case.

In logic terms, this certification is necessary but not sufficient. It's not sufficient by itself, but it is a hard requirement because RDS hasn't been covered under their BAA up until the last day or so. That is, it wasn't covered the last time I checked, maybe a week ago, but it is now today. This was confirmed by our AWS tech reps when we recently talked to them: they absolutely did not HIPAA certify PostgreSQL the last time we asked about it. And oh, how I promise you we talked about it.

In the past you could be HIPAA compliant and use Postgresql RDS by signing a business associate agreement and doing things like using dedicated instances in their own VPC.

Citation needed. We were told multiple time by our reps and solution architect that RDS+PostgreSQL was not certified in any way. The only AWS options we had for HIPAA PostgreSQL were 1) hosting our own instance (that is, not using RDS in any way, just plain old EC2) or 2) paying a third party for managed PostgreSQL hosting.
According to our lawyer, here's how rounds are being classified right now:

<$1m is considered "angel" round, and typically done on SAFEs/notes

$1-4M is considered "seed" round, and is SAFE/note or equity

$5M+ is considered "A" round, and is equity plus normally a board seat

> Re: roads, I agree that not all roads are toll roads. The good news is that roads are relatively inexpensive to build and maintain (for example, the federal transportation budget is only 2.3% of total yearly spending, 28 billion dollars).

Wow, so you have an extra half-billion or so just sitting around? ($28 billion x 0.023 = $460 million) How fortunate for you!

Beggin' your pardon, M'Lord, but the peasantry doesn't consist of multi-millionaires. And they need to use roads to live their lives in a modern, industrialized society.

So, no, you can keep your libertarian dystopia where everyone has to build their own roads, hire their own police forces, etc. Go build your own civilization, away from ours.

Do you think the behavior of these companies could possibly be explained by doing what they think is in their own selfish best interest instead of somehow using "elitist social circles" to "absolve losses"? And who is absolving the losses anyways? Wouldn't some of the people in the "elitist social circles" be investors in AL but not PH and be upset that these "losses" were being inflicted upon them? Why wouldn't they use their elite social clout to stop it?

Anecdote time: I've personally seen a few startups that were failing attempt to sell themselves to the startup I was somewhat senior in. I interviewed and chatted with founders of the startups that were trying to get acquired. My meetings were not interfered with by the VCs or the angels or anybody else. They are far far too busy to care about every minute detail of what goes on at their portfolio companies. Had we ever gone through with one of the acquisitions (which we never did when I was there), my guess is the board would have tried very hard to convince us not to do it, as an acquisition has a much higher chance of going wrong than going well and can be a huge distraction.

slavehack was awesome!
I will admit, I am very lucky in that regard. Just comparing against the recommended amount of sleep, I get an extra 14 hours a week. And I can actually function quite well on less, but not sustained (and never deliberately try to reach that state, but bouts of insomnia have forced me to learn this).

I do tend to sleep in on the weekends though ("sleep" isn't quite right, more like lazily stay in bed until 0900 or so while drifting in and out).
A comment that is on top does not mean every one shares the sentiment. I usually upvote comments I strongly disagree with and add my own thoughts with the attempt to rectify the line of thinking. The idea is if something is "very" wrong then all the more reason to upvote and enlighten others.

Thanks for the mention, I'm one of the folks who operates Domainr.

A few years back we added support for all the new gTLDs, and rev'd our suggestion algorithm to somewhat-intelligently include relevant new gTLDs in the search results. It's a great way to discover TLDs.

(according to our TLD page — https://domainr.com/about/tlds — there are 1700+ currently, though many are "brand" TLDs which aren't generally available for registration)

Our Favorites page — https://domainr.com/about/favorites — is also a fun place to see examples of people doing creative work with new TLDs.

There are actually two reasonable ways of handling leap seconds with gettimeofday(). The first, which is in actual use by a range of people, is to define that the kernel time is actually a TAI-10 count not a UTC count. Arthur David Olson's "right" timezone system does this. The second is to allow the microseconds count to go up to 2,000,000.

I also don't understand what Kraft is doing you telling you how to make macaroni cheese... What's in a 'Kraft mac and cheese' box that it still requires making, and yet is also some kind of recipe kit?

It's hardly a complex recipe from 'scratch' (eg

Ive been pretty impressed by the latest AWS services. There are a ton of them though. I wouldnt expect anything different from a system designed to accomodate arbitry infrastructure. I'm considering deploying to Lightsail next, which looks like refreshing simplicity for smaller projects.

It's only in hindsight that 90's era Google is an "obvious win". It was "just another Search engine with a bunch of Stanford buddies for investors" in the 90's and probably would've been called so on HN.

Its seems to me that convincing a bunch of people to part with their money for your idea and then relentlessly trying to execute on it (as PH's founder seems to have done) is very meritorious.

Some investments are clearly made to friends, but you aren't convincing any investor to NOT invest in their friends who they think are great, personally. Now if only there was a process to democratise this discovery more....

P.S: I was referring to AngelList in the end there.
Nice job! I'd love to see an integration with www.specout.com for processor and GPU comparisons (even just links).
I like many of the new AWS announcements (shield, lambda@edge, RDS with Postgres, X-ray, Organizations). But I wish they'd be more selective with some things.

Pinpoint feels like a bland thing that a ton of companies already offer, and there is nothing about AWS that make them better suited to do this.

I'd rather they focus on improving their (often) badly designed APIs, refine the documentation and improve the console UI.
Meta-tasks around projects. Communicating/coordinating with other people. In big-corp land, mandatory training and time spent on time tracking (a bit ironic). Dealing with git screw-ups by people new to it.

The RSS is Linux is not particularly useful (for netflix scale workloads) because it does not integrate the RSS hashing across the entire stack. So all you get is connection sharding. With real RSS, as done in Windows and FreeBSD where the kernel has intimate knowledge of the hash key and algorithm, you can use RSS to split the TCP hash table up and make it per-CPU. By using multiple accept sockets for per-CPU workers, you can effectively keep everything for a single connection on a CPU, and run almost everything with no cross-CPU contention. You can't move the connection around at will between CPUs, but you don't care to, because no connection is special (in a netflix workload), it just one of tens of thousands.

Adrian Chadd did most of the FreeBSD RSS work, and gave a good talk about it at BAFUG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CvIztTz-RQ

The RSS in Linux was just used for load spreading (the last I checked, I haven't used Linux much since I left Google 1.5 years ago). If this has improved, I'd love to hear about it.

Linux RFS depends on the packets being dispatched to the correct CPU for the connection by the interrupt handler running wherever the packet happened to land. This has cache & memory locality implications, especially on NUMA.

Linux aRFS lets the NIC do the steering. Unfortunately, each connection requires an interaction with the NIC to poke it into the steering table, and most NICs can't steer 100,000 connections.

So, to sum up, Linux has a lot of cool tech for steering individual connections and support for that varies greatly by NIC. Windows and FreeBSD use standard RSS to predictably steer an unlimited number of connections. For a large CDN server, the latter is more useful. However, for low-latency / high bandwidth applications, I can see the advantage to aRFS.

A bit off-topic. I recently had to endure an azure evangelist telling me on literally every slide that they are now open (they had a big blue "open"-rectangle on the upper-right edge). A moment later i got very, very frustrated because a feature i had to use didn't work with the java-library (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/issues/465 open since February!), the node.js library and the Rest interface lacked critical features so i was unable to authenticate programmatically (i think). Since i am working on a Mac and don't have windows, i couldn't use the C# library because it required dlls. In the end I had to code a simple proxy server in C# in a text-editor on my mac and then push it to a azure server running windows, compile it there and run it, just to get the data to my program. It was really a horrible experience. Since then i just assume that somebody that really has to stress something has in reality big problems/deficits in dealing with it.
I can follow that list no problem except for nespresso. The quality bang for the buck you get with those is so much better than the garbage that passes for coffee in a k-cup.
Wow, no kidding. I have ZERO kids, and am well aware of the couple hours of free time I have in the evenings before bed. I make sure I get enough sleep most of the time.

That said, free days on the beach? Midday naps or sleeping all morning on a hotel room while traveling? I sleep less on business trips, and can't fathom just sitting around the beach all day.

I'm not saying my life is harder than hers, it's almost certainly not -- I'm just saying if I had 1 kid, let alone 4, it would put that to shame.
On a total tangent, I'd love to get that metacircular interpreter poster, any chance you'd like to sell a print-quality copy? :)

It looks like Blox can address some of this stuff, but kubernetes is providing this stuff OOTB.. It's also locked to vendor-specific service offerings. This isn't to say Kubernetes doesn't have room for improvement; its AWS integrations could use some work(Application Load Balancer support, etc).
