Hi zbjornson, regarding your question about "Wondering what the free version uses if it doesn't include graphite for dashboarding": the answer is that free version just includes the icingaweb dashboards and not those implemented with grafana.

Also I'd like to clarify a possible misunderstanding: Monitor in a Box does not require that ansible be installed on all the servers. We only require that ansible be installed on the one machine that orchestrates the setup of Monitor in a Box.
The CuriousAi TAG and LADDER research looks interesting.

Studying the Relationship Between Internet Addiction  and Emotional Intelligence [pdf]
Why have page that tells almost absolutely nothing about your project? I could understand if it was aimed at non-tech people but I have serious doubts that anyone that isn't developer will be interested in your project. If I read title on hacker news that says 'Npm Desktop Manager' I would like to be able to read a little more about it before I decide to use it without having to go to github. Like, the information that there is no stable release is only in FAQ section of github project.
This also reminds me of a talk by Maxim Februari at the most recent TEDx Amsterdam[0]. From the description:

The infrastructure of connected things [..] imposes norms on citizens. Not in the form of written laws: the norms are hidden in the design of things. Citizens can’t protest the new laws, or change them, because they do not know them. And because decisions are made automatically, the laws can’t even be violated [..]

Arin is broken
I hate to break it to people but the internet is broken because Arin does not know who owns some addresses and cannot even point you to Ripe, Apnic, Aficnic or Lancnic when a Whois request is made and in some cases they send you to one registry who then sends you back to Arin so you end up in a loop.

The data does not audit if you go deep and you check the data from arin ip-ranges based on the "OrgID" then it does not match with other Whois Data from Arin when it comes to ranges and we are not just talking of daily updates.

Lancnic has a rate limit on request and would like everyone to work at a snails pace and Africnic servers are always going down, next to useless and would not be around if open up to competing with the outside world.

All these main registrar's seem to be using notepad when it comes to content mananment and have yet to discover what a template is since any number of key fields can be missing from Whois requests on TCP:43 and they all need to work to a fixed standard and stick to it or do they need more than 20 years to get there act togeather ?

Bulk import of data is useless from these un-accountable peoviders since they hide behind the data protection act when it comes to bulk data so anyone trying to map the internet is force to then make millions of Whois requests to compile the data.

Talking of Fraud contracts on Tor are being sold by add-servers to fake click adverts and the criminals are being paid in BitCoins and I know this because i run a public proxy server and keep an eye on whats going on.

We are not running out of Ipv4 addresse and it's a case of large american corporations sitting on millions of unused addresses but the advent of 4G phones will soon use up whats left in the coming few years.
The general customer service seems to have deteriorated in the past year.

Must be a cost-saving initiative in their support org. I've never seen a retailer that could even properly bucket losses into "our fuckup", "possibly our fuckup" and "satiating customer." And forget about always fixing things when they are recognized as a fuckup. There is too much incentive to not to do anything for the customer. Even when its the "right thing to do." Metrics often prioritize short term savings over burning a large-but-not-VIP customer.

I once worked with a retailer where even their Point of Sale voids were bucketed wrong. If a CSR were to accidentally scan the same $X item twice, they would void one on the POS. The stock control logic would keep the product in inventory counts, but the end-of-day financial tallies would look the same as if they manually applied a $X discount on an order.

I don't mean to imply Amazon is _that_ bad. But just because they're a big software employer, and AWS is a decent product, it doesn't mean that the support staff, internal software, etc... aren't shite.
>When doctors ask if they want “everything” done, they answer yes. Then the nightmare begins.
> But doctors still don’t over-treat themselves.

This is an interesting article. The main point is that nobody, in general, is prepared to be in a almost-dead situation, and when this event comes, the patient nor family is prepared to answer "ok, I prefer more life quality than trying all possible treatments". Because the implicit answer is that when you give up all alternatives, you are saying "I prefer to live few months and die".

Not that choosing all treatments might be different. But it's a possibility, it's a try, and it's not "giving up".

Doctors, on the other hand, deal and see all the side effects of the treatment. They know what will cost (in quality, not only money). And if the end will come anyway...

If I understand it correctly it seems a bit orthogonal thing to binary diffs.

Slicing will prepare an app bundle per target from source app bundle.

Bitcode will be compiled to target spec.

On-demand resources are self-explanatory.

In Android AFAIK you have to do all those things by yourself. With this difference that you can't compile Java bytecode yourself and send it to the user. If you use NDK you have to do this. But I would argue that in most cases it does not result in major size differences. The biggest difference would be in case of app using lots of graphical assets that could be delivered with different DPI depending on device. However, as I said, AFAIK you can do this.

The bundle, the compiled binary and resources have to be somehow delivered to the user. The files probably in many cases would be delivered in compressed form. Either they will stay compressed and be decompressed on demand or be decompressed after download. Most probably it will be the former.

You can send whole data each time or give some kind of delta to whatever user has. In case of delta you can diff either compressed or uncompressed data. In case of former you will have the same issue as Google had with their bsdiff between APKs. In case of latter you will have to decompress the data and it would be a waste of space not to compress it again later. The results would be the same as what Google currently do.

If Apple would like to optimize the size of updates they would have to do the same (I don't know if they are not doing it already). To achieve this the data would have to be recompressed.
Why do you disregard one of it's main benefits? MacOS development is notoriously tricky, so to enable it for the largest class of developers today makes a lot of sense.

The other big advantage would be speed of iteration - particularly in a startup environment, being able to iterate on designs, layouts and functionality fast is a huge plus of working in JavaScript / HTML over native constructs.
From what I remember, Fitbit has ~30M customers, and Pebble has ~1M. That's just 3% of Fitbit's userbase, so pretty much a rounding error. I don't believe they will care.
I think this is an example of an issue that some companies that do kickstarter/preorder campaigns have.

They try to do a Hardware project that pushes boundaries and try to collect money to early during the development process at a time when it is really impossible to set a ship date. (Also a factor is company inexperience with manufacturing) This is why so many projects have to delay shipments and sometimes eventually run out of money without getting to a shippable product.

Companies that are successful typically do their preorders at a point where they have already completed multiple production runs at a cm in china and are ready to ramp for mass production. the order count helps justify the costs of ordering mass production parts. The issue of course is that it means investors had to be willing to fund seed/series A without seeing any traction.
I just want to say it is OK to give up from time to time. I had a serious side project I worked on for 2 years. Sometimes you need to cut your losses. I was able to use
a product that cost me $100, though it doesn't work exactly as I want, it does the job. So just ask yourself, is this worth it?

Rural vs. urban route classification in Zikes
If marketing is SEO then maybe there's some value in a name. But if the marketing is SEO why go through the trouble of building a CDN? There are much less demanding options.

Good marketing for a CDN is identifying potential users and reaching out to them directly and in person and converting them into users. Getting people to care is harder than building the product and getting people to use it is harder than that and getting people to pay is almost impossible.

And the name has almost nothing to do with it, e.g. Akamai.

Well email is a complicated beast, so much so that most it's security related features are not included right out of the box. Some of these features are used to help determine spam (i.e. Spammer doesn't usually setup things like SPF or DKIM records). Mail-in-a-box provides a solution to a lot of these other components, thus not requiring the spammer to set much up at all. Making them more reliable to spam engines than before. I'm not saying Mail-in-a-box is a one stop shop spammer solution, but it's pretty close.

Shelf is a euphemism, it's actually a small pile of boxes that I keep just to remind myself that even great ideas will die with poor implementation, planning, DRM, or bad support.

Reliable workaround for paywalled articles when you've exceeded the permitted number of free articles:

- Copy the link.

- Open an incognito browser window.

- Paste the URL into the address bar / omnibox.

- Hit return.
The article touches on this theory. They dismiss it because the fire appears to destroy the structure (as part of the firing process the walls crumble). It does provide them with a set of "bricks" to build the new home with however, so it is a partial answer.

According to the article, to get the temperatures high enough you have to add a whole bunch more wood to the fire, which is why they didn't think it was an accident.
>Some medical personnel wear medallions stamped “NO CODE” to tell physicians not to perform CPR on them. I have even seen it as a tattoo.

I've had many doctors indicate to me that if they find this on someone coming into the ICU, most hospitals will still attempt to resuscitate.

It's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. If you don't attempt to resuscitate, the patient's family may sue for letting them die and not attempting resuscitation. Granted, if you do resuscitate, you may be sued by the patient. Most hospitals feel there is far lower risk if they resuscitate, so "NO CODE" or "DNR" tattooed on your chest will likely be ignored.
Considering how much of the web is under AWS, there would most likely be far reaching consequences.
I think that using different brands for products and services makes sense if your organization has a very clear division between the product and service parts and you have no gains joining that parts, like getting cross-selling or upselling.

In that case I would use a single brand for the services and another one for the product divisions. In the end they will be different business units with their own budget, right?

For instance, support will be very different for one kind of business than the other.

...Anyway...

DO use different branding -at least a minimal one- for all products just for discoverability. I mean, every product should have its website (like a brochure) and might have a blog, twitter account, facebook page, and so on. Use that accounts for _minimal_ stuff like announcing bugfixes or new releases. If the product goes well, invest in marketing (hire or buy) but it's very important to secure the social assets now.
Given my experience with technology companies (especially startups) so far, I don't really expect that to happen. Though it would be very nice.
Don't forget that you can have platform specific bugs ;)
The fact that companies like Facebook and Google are spending billions of dollars/year on undisclosed research projects is in my view a gigantic failure of corporate governance. I think investors are going to be hugely disappointed when they find out that they thought they put their money into Internet advertising cash cows, and now that money is gone, spent on building jetpacks and space elevators. I do think those projects are very cool, but this is not the proper way to pursue them.
Love the Pebble, so sad to see it go. I had one of the originals, and now have a Time Steel I love. Feel a little bit like they shot themselves in the foot because I'd have been willing to pay $200 for the watch, but there were tons of refurb ones for under $100 available, so that's the one my Fiance got me. I tried one of the Android watches, but hated it. The Pebble was soooo much better.

OT: I noticed in the GitHub repository that there is `.jshintrc` as well as a `.jscsrc` and `.eslintrc`

Why are you using 3 different JavaScript linters, instead of just 1? Especially since one of them (JSCS) was merged with the other (ESLint). There was a blog post about this in April[0] and even the front page of JSCS says that it was merged with ESLint[1], so why use both of them, in addition to yet another linter?

I can understand wanting to download an editable version of the document, but in my experience no company has ever specifically asked me for a word document, I've always sent PDFs. Microsoft was the only company that communicated via word docs (which looked like absolute garbage, by the way, since they expect you to have purchased the latest and greatest office suite complete with all of its useless features), and I still sent them a PDF resume and it turned out just fine.

I feel once editing is done, PDFs are much more professional because they open without any virus warnings, update notifications, or "this document is in read-only mode" banners.

That said, yes, when editing is NOT done a PDF is almost impossible to deal with.
I think it is an interesting topic and may be possible.

But I see 2 difficulties. One is collecting this data. Maybe if you have access to a passport photo database, things will be easier.

Second is how to design the cost function. direct comparing pixels doesn't seem to be the right way.

a generative model sounds better.

Being visually impaired just makes things worse. Your site doesn't work with FireFox 'Reader View', and that forces me to 'Toggle CSS' off which causes the icons and site-design to be FUBAR.

You might have the best damn product in the world, but if I can't read about it on your own pages then it's no good to me.

I only found out that you use Ansible from the comments on here from another poster. I really want to know about this now as I have migrated our entire datacenter to Ansible, and I really love it.
No, no, wrong. Just because someone lives in a firetrap doesn't mean you can set their house on fire while they're sleeping.

Your position is completely amoral, evil.
Anecdotally, I'm younger and have gone through long periods working from home and I needed a home office. It's not a technology thing, my phone is plenty powerfull enough to do anything I need and so has every laptop I've owned since I was 10.

You have a dedicated workspace because when you start blending home and work things start unravling with both; Work is a time when you're very active mentally and sometimes It's difficult to keep that way. This is much harder when it blends with your needed relaxation time.

I think you've answered your question, at least for now.

Only disadvantage of #3 is if it's not fine-grained enough. You know you need _at least_ a macro level split (New umbrella parent company (that nobody really knows/cares much about), sub-companies are "Mobile Jazz" and "product brand"). If products grows enough, it may need it's own splits too, but keep it one for now.
The Pessimist’s Guide to 2017
This same thing happened to me -- a compliance review and e-mails about closing my account. I hadn't even changed my name, but got requests for my mother's information. Thankfully I wasn't a seller, but it took me over 3 months of constant calling before I could get it resolved. I was constantly handed off in between customer and seller support before I decided to e-mail jeff@amazon.com. In the end, I was able to suss out that this is some back department of Amazon that does compliance reviews, has a limited grasp of English, will not take direct phone or chat correspondence, and is only good at constantly asking for government ID and offering no other help.

An executive support representative reached out after I e-mailed Jeff and was able to figure out what was going on since all of the previous reps had no idea and kept passing the buck. I was in fear that I was going to lose my buyer's account, and hadn't sold more than $100 on my seller's account.

A tip for anyone else going through this: no one reachable through regular CS channels knows anything about this issue and everyone will tell you conflicting things. The only way to resolve it is to reach out through executive support. I tried escalating multiple times and people would tell me to not worry about it, then I would get e-mails asking for the info again or saying that my account was closed (it was not).

Can one please explain in simple english what actually happened? I did read that fitbit was interested in buying pebble. I assumed it will be like apple buying beats, and pebble will continue as usual.

Is fitbit shutting down pebble as pebble is a superior product over the crappy fitbits?

The core strength of Pebble was its simple OS and energy efficient device. I hope they opensource the OS.
> and maybe hit a major issue in doing so (critical component is suddenly a very different price, etc)

There were some stories circulating that their provider of screens for Time 2 is in financial troubles, so presumably may have not been able to fulfill the order.
I don't know. I'd probably read some terms of service doc somewhere to understand better, but I guess I don't care enough to do so.
When such a large percentage of your sales as a company come from kickstarter, where you seemingly have to give a heavy discount to the real price. My guess is that it becomes hard to succeed in retail/other channels at a real price with margin that could sustain a company.
I've been generally dissatisfied with the smart watch options in general, even more so than cell phones and the Sophie's choices for cell phones is pretty bad!

What factors prevent open source hardware from being viable? Like if the basic parts of the pebble (e-paper screens, small efficient processors, flat batteries, etc) were open hardware so that any number of manufacturers could just churn out the parts; and if there was a FOSS option for an OS to run that hardware; what prevents a vibrant community from forming around those options? We could have artisans putting together various nice watch options, and lots of little apps to run on them. Why don't we have that?
I mean, web tech is more straightforward to work with / easier to find information on than desktop app platforms in general.
I'm not sure, but I think the target user is a "coding bootcamp graduate", or similar.
