Many do say AWS is not affected; it is a bit of effort to review them all. The newest I found is: https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/XSAsecuri... (Dec. 2015)

Interestingly, AWS was not affected by the August 2016 XSA Security Advisory (XSA-182) that impacted Qubes OS: http://blog.quarkslab.com/xen-exploitation-part-3-xsa-182-qu...

How does this compare to OpenShift?

Currently evaluating it for a new setup and Red Hat did a great job at it. It's basically devops tooling on top of Kubernetes.

Mmm, in this case I suspect a lot of the benefit is not having to carry around the 90% of QEMU that's completely unused in the x86-KVM usecase (ie all of the emulation, all the devices for non-x86, all the random PCI devices you don't care about, etc) -- you don't have to security-audit that (it won't run if you're using QEMU but you'd have to convince yourself of that). Plus you don't need to care about maintaining compatibility with previous QEMU command lines or migration data formats.

Incidentally for instruction emulation the quality is rather variable: for instance I trust the 64-bit ARM userspace instructions pretty well because we were able to random-instruction-sequence test them and worked all the bugs out; x86 emulation I trust rather less because very few people want to emulate that these days because everybody's got the hardware, so bugs don't get found or fixed. QEMU is an enormous million-line codebase which satisfies multiple use cases several of which barely overlap at all, and its level of robustness and testing depends a lot on which parts you're looking at...
I'm in the middle of reading On Writing Well right now, and have had exactly the same complaint about the examples. There have been multiple examples that I expected him to be using as a demonstration of what not to do, but that he then went on to praise.

I'm still enjoying the book overall and think it has a lot of useful advice, but it's confusing to have so many examples that seem to directly contradict the principles it advocates.
Ten times that wouldn't be worth it, if it distracts from a single other important task. Assume $2400 / hour, six hours per day of effort on it, five days per week, 52 weeks per year. $3.7 million. It's a lot to a charity, it's not a lot versus his net worth and what he can do with his time at A16Z, against the distraction of writing emails for that effort every 5 minutes (which is why he won't continue with this long-term; he'll make a splash with it, get the headlines, do a good deed with the donated funds, and be on to the next thing, which isn't writing emails for $5/$20/$50).
I only "pointed out fallacies" in direct response to OP's attempt to switch the argument from one of ideas to one of social rank-pulling. And now you're continuing to do that ("bloodless rhetoric without illustrations, emotions or lived experiences"). It might just be that my lived experiences are different from yours, and have caused me to seek a resolution between these two opposing tribes.

This necessarily involves leaving out my immediate concerns and biases, and admitting that the tribe I identify with less is still coming from their own honest viewpoint. To me, that's a much saner position than to assume that 63 xor 66 million people are personally mortally wrong.

I've been using Mozilla's own Tab Center, which looks a bit nicer than TST and is e10s friendly:

After piercing the paywall, I can see they've wrong. Centa, centi. Not the same.

> Of course somebody else could build a better browser for iOS, but how likely is that to happen?

This question can't be asked, when they forbid making one. So it doesn't even start.

It highlights the core of the problem. Anti-trust laws are supposed to preserve competition, because monopolies stifle progress and cause many other problems. This is exactly the case here. No one would make a better browser, because they are forbidden to.
Don't forget too that 401(k)s force your hand to care about the stock market to get any sort of retirement in the modern era.
I understand that argument, but I don't buy it, because Android has 80%+ of the smartphone market. If Apple actively tried to block the adoption of features that were good for users and developers it would blow up in their faces(1). How well did that work out for Microsoft with IE6?

That's not to say Apple don't have influence, but do they have the kind of strong-arm leverage you seem to be implying?

What would help is: can you explain to us what HTML (CSS, JS, browser API) features you're talking about?

(1) I suppose some might argue they did that with Flash, and it turned out quite nicely for them. But was Flash, as closed, proprietary tech, really a good thing for the web? For users? For developers? For the web?
>How do you guarantee a non-terrible job to people with minimal skills?

Don't overwork them, don't be unreasonable towards them, don't disrespect them and pay them a living wage to do some sort of meaningful work (e.g. care work).

This isn't that hard. The US has done it before.

>And how do you finance it?

There's a hundred different ways.

>With a UBI you don't have to pay as much

You have to pay more because it goes to everybody instead of just the unemployed and you don't get anything in return for that money.

>What if 85% of people choose the "basic job"

That's kind of like asking "what if programmers all gave up their jobs at once to become cleaners?".

> the only way to change that is to either make the "basic job" degrading

A "basic job" can establish a floor on job quality and wages. Private employers will respond to this market force by paying more and treating people better and they will complain bitterly about it.
Any other PMs on here that can vouch for this as a solid prototyping tool? My current prototyping options are either too time-consuming or too restricting...

The first problem is that zoning and noise complaints won't let you run a factory in a suburb (but maybe in an industrial district).

The second problem is that globalization and efficiency might mean there is nothing for the factory to do that anyone wants to pay for.

> Could it be one reason that, with less obesity, French people are more healthy to start with, so they require less care?

French people eat fine cheese, and other fine foods. Americans are fed imitation cheese, and told that it's better for them because it doesn't have 'bad fat'.

The experts call this a "paradox" [1]. I think we're being swindled.

Surprising to see Pinker has written a book about writing. The way he writes makes even interesting topics feel deadly boring.
I love the history of cuisine. Cooking/restaurants was my first career and true love. Every national cuisine is some sort of fusion of local ingredients and techniques, as well as the traders, invaders who influence it, or the explorers who bring back ingredients and ideas.

I think to the cuisine I grew up, Ukrainian, and most Ukrainian dishes and ingredients can be traced from elsewhere. Cabbage rolls (holubsty) have an analogue in dolma(des), perogies (varenyky) can likely be traced to China, maybe via Italy, maybe not. Potatoes and tomatoes come from the new world. Rice from the orient. Shashlyk possibly from muslim invaders, although the history of kebab-like items goes back to the beginning of history. And so on.

And every cuisine has many interesting stories, Sicilian especially, as pointed out in the article. Nice link.

I understand that Mozilla changed focus in 2013, but the problems started before then.

According to all of the browser usage share data I've seen, Firefox's share began to decline around the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011, about two years before Mozilla shifted focus to Firefox OS.

So, what went wrong between 2011 and 2013, when Mozilla was still focused on the Firefox product but its market share declined from more than 30% of the market to less than 20%? That's what really went wrong. The change of focus made a bad situation worse.
Hmm, I thought it was implied by the language in the second paragraph, but having read it again I'm not so sure. So yeah, the lack of having (thus far) given notice would complicate things a bit.

Either way, on balance, I hope he won't risk his next job for the sake of (incrementally) cleaning up after the messes created by the management of his current job.
Espruino's had an FFI interface for the last 3 years! Nice to see they did their research :)
Actually yes, that does seem to be a more appropriate analogy. A lot of the time people follow a system without testing whether or not it's working.

VPC Connect Region2Region?
Is it possible to connect my VPC from one region to a VPC in an another region of AWS?
Sure, but Windows had (and still has) a monopoly on desktop operating systems. Being a monopoly doesn't mean you have 100% market share, but rather that you're (a) the dominant player, and (b) your market share is considered sufficiently high that it can be leveraged to modify the market forces themselves. When you're a monopoly, additional antitrust requirements apply to you that don't apply to the lesser players in that market.
exactly. what are these academics going to do, bite the hand that feeds??
I'm torn. I agree that the three step process you gave is bad. Currently listening to "Search Inside Yourself" and was incredibly annoyed that the first 40ish minutes have so far been about how awesome this practice is and why I should care. To the point that I'm honestly not sure I'll finish the book now. I feel like I'm just being sold something.

That said, often a brief "why" at the beginning would be nice. So, don't just give me a forward of what you'll be telling me. Definitely don't hype it. But, give me some expectation for what I'm listening/reading for.
You quoted Proudhon who considered none-natural-resource classes of property theft as well. But your argument is also absurd:

>What I did claim is property rights over any scarce resource inherently reduces the liberty of others.

All property is scarce, which is why it has market value. You're saying people have no right to the property they create, if it happens to be scarce (which it always is).

Maybe you have some vague arbitrary definition of "scarce" that allows you to claim that the property rights you exercise over your possessions are legitimate, while the property rights of those with much more than you are not.
Firefox OS development as an alternative to Android AOSP would not be good for the community?

I mean, in the desktop world, we have many Linux distributions, BSD derivates, many desktop environments, etc. May Firefox OS fit some use case that Android could not?
The daycares my kids have gone to have all charged a moderate late fee, but said very explicitly that if you are habitually late, you will be kicked out of the daycare.

One of the daycares at 5:30 would just take the kids with her on her nightly errands, and you'd have to run all over town to find them at the grocery store or whatever.

These are both ways of making it clear that it is socially unacceptable to be late.
Ahh, I understand now. That's a bit of a strange question though, considering that most of EU countries (300+ mil people) have similar workers benefits and culture?
Reading through the article I can't help but notice some shortcomings in the analysis. The "similar size" ship dropped from 333 crew to 221 crew. Is this perhaps due to an increase in automation? The article does mention that GPS navigation has eliminated some work for officers, but what about all the tasks that used to be manual but are now mechanized?

Without an analysis of which roles have expanded or been eliminated over time, it's hard to take gross numbers seriously.

(The Armidale is not a comparable ship, it has only 21.)
My reply:

1. There are standard tests and evaluations for giftedness, these can be given at any time past age 4. They are about thinking and behavior, not achievement. Years of study shows that these traits don't generally change much with age. So called "late bloomers", if they are gifted, would almost certainly have been gifted much earlier in life but maybe not identified.

2. I think this is a valid point, but I'd propose that this be addressed more by making sure that kids are interacting with peers outside the academic context. Putting kids in the same classroom where they are underserved on either extreme simply because it's good to socialize seems like the wrong priority to me.

3. This is an artifact of how we identify giftedness today. Giftedness exists in all cultures and socioeconomic groups. Today, only the most motivated parents get their gifted kids identified. We could fix that with a national initiative to identify gifted students. Additionally. Not that this is necessarily your argument, but motivated parents do not make children gifted. No amount of Baby Einstein or aggressive pre-schooling is going to change a kid's IQ dramatically. Likewise,profoundly gifted kids given very few opportunities can be and are still gifted.

That's how accurate a given classifier is as a whole vs. a measure of confidence for a particular prediction.
To answer the question in two words: absolutely not.

I think this kind of segregation is harmful to the development of all students, including the gifted students.

Gifted students can help raise up their less gifted classmates. If these gifted students are to be the next generation of leaders this is an invaluable skill.

Nobody exists in a vacuum and putting students in an echo chamber during their formative years seems irresponsible. A diverse viewpoint and understanding of people different than you is crucial to a healthy society. If we learn early on that we are better or worse than others because of an arbitrary metric that will be carried forward for the rest of our lives.

Would those that support segregated schools based on academic performance also support schools segregated based on athletic performance?

I agree that gifted students have needs and those should be addressed but I don't think a separate school is the solution. Even AP classes feel like a problem to me because the most gifted students are not available to help those that struggle.

Standardized testing hurts all students, not just gifted ones. We need to take a serious look at how education works in general so we can challenge all students to achieve their best. I don't think this can be done with echo chambers that create an increasing gap in academic performance and student development.
I didn't know about this, looks really useful, thanks. I wonder if there are any plans to add other protocols e.g. Keybase.

100 million goes to a handful of "bright schools"

1 million goes to 100+ "regular schools"

The circlejerk here is that it would "help immensely" and "move the needle forward" but it would just result in further deepening the gap between rich and poor. The mindset of this sub is deeply anti-Communist and you can see it in the replies.

Separating class from this issue is absolutely impossible.

Content blockers would exist for Safari, yes. Apple doesn't depend on ad revenue or tracking and therefore this differentiates them from Google.

Seeing as Firefox has terrible market share on iOS, and Apple still offered Content blocking... I think it's clear Firefox has no impact on the matter.

I think your point here should resonate louder (at least where I live in the USA).

Jumping in and out of the "gifted" track should be possible if such a thing exists; however to your point, how would the track be defined and what should it contain? Would there be a list of items that need to be mastered? What evaluations determine if you can jump in... or when you need to "jump out"? Would the "gifted" track be age based the way it is currently or could the contents be tailored to fit the needs of the individual students?

Following that line of thinking, at what point do you qualify for a job? Also, what social stigmas would we attach to "jumping out"?

I don't have answers, but your point led me to some very interesting questions. Thank you!

> There's a wide gulf between idiot bullying and just the behavior of people less educated/refined than you.

Sure. I'm not claiming that everyone I interact with is as educated or intelligent as me.

But it's not like an alternative education would have zero diversity. When I went to boarding school, the average IQ went way up—but there was still plenty of variation. Plus, I had the whole new challenge of learning to interact with people from different cultures—some of whom had very limited English.

I'm not claiming everyone I work with is tech-savvy or even equally intelligent. What I'm disputing is the claim that being forced to undergo years of bullying and unchallenging instruction is somehow educational.
From 1M to Graham's Number (Wait but Why)
I tried out an old photo from December, and it noticed that the date was not today. I was asked if I wanted to add it for that date. I was also able to change the time on the edit meal screen. I think this should be on the input screen - similar to Google Fit. When I am entering an exercise, the time defaults to now, but I can select another time just as easily.
Sounds similar to the Catholic concept of "indulgences". Wonder if sinful actions increased considerably after people had a monetary way to avoid hell.
It actually has a lot to do with types; while it can occur in a few other situations, the two biggest places it occurs:

(1) Where ints (or some other enumerable value unrelated to the problem domain) are used in place of self-describing enumerations because of lack of type system support for enums.

(2) When values within the domain of a type but outside of the domain that would otherwise be generated are used to signal special situations because of lack of type system support for sum types.

(The main other place that they occur is with "breakpoints" within a domain of a normal type, but even these are arguably a workaround for the absence of the combination of sum types and range-constrained types.)
Oh yea, I'm confusing it with INTERNIST. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internist-I

Yes, the explainability of expert systems is the only thing going for it.

Yes, there are issues with both, but we are really debating different solutions for different problems. For visual recognition, there is no doubt in my mind that deep learning is king.
For the lazy, here are my tips:

1) Use what you learned in high school: write in paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.

2) After you write a sentence, read it out loud (or pronounce it in your mind) to make sure it flows easily.

4) When people reply to your comments on Hacker News (or Slashdot), try to figure out if they understood what you wrote. If they didn't, next time try to think of a way to be more clear. Over time, you will improve: probably quickly.

I briefly searched on it, the one thing they mentioned was the possibility of being able to link exchanges to other unknown people because you're now known if your website says who you are and you have a key right there. But they also said to use other ones for each transaction. I don't know. Anyway thanks for the info. Bitcoin is a bit volatile for me but I appreciate it's capability and would like to have some in the future. I'm also broke/in a lot of debt so any concept of savings...
