Yeah, San Antonio is almost certainly a better description of the location. Rackspace's HQ is technically in the incorporated city of Windcrest, but unless you've lived in the San Antonio MSA, you've probably never heard of Windcrest. It's a two square-mile city of 5300 people entirely surrounded by San Antonio and its MSA population of 2.3M people. Windcrest consists of a single suburban residential neighborhood and a couple retail strip centers. Rackspace bought an empty shopping mall on the very edge of the city that had been vacant for about two years for its HQ. Given the retail decline in the area, it was, no doubt, a coup for Windcrest. I grew up just north of Windcrest and used to go to that mall all the time although it was on the decline even 25 years ago.
I'll assume based on your comments below that you retract the hostile language, so I'll now reply.

As I mentioned earlier, the future we are talking about is one with self-driving cars. The fact that the vehicles are accelerating is much less of a concern than sheer number of seconds allowed for an automated system to take evasive maneuvers. (Coordinating evasion is also much easier for automated systems, and traffic collision avoidance systems are widely used in planes, but this is a secondary point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_collision_avoidance_sy... )

Your anecdotal experience is not really informative. But what is informative are car and plane accident rates, and the fact that altitude separation for planes is already a standard practice for avoiding collisions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_(aeronautics)#Verti...

It is a strong contributor to the fact that mid-air collisions are much more rare than the multi-car pile-ups from having cars in adjacent lanes. As I read your logic, you would assert that planes would be better off flying parallel, all at the same altitude, so as to avoid the need for grade separation. But this is not how air traffic is managed. Yes of course planes are able to separate out further horizontally than cars can (and just as a flying car would be able to), and this reduces the risk of collision debris dropping down on top of any other random plane. But this clearly does not mean that if, for whatever reason, planes became more horizontally restricted, they would make less use of vertical space.
Unless diagnosed please avoid pills.
WebSQL was never going to be picked up by Microsoft either: it was a WebKit-only concept that was doomed from the start.
Could you elaborate a little more on why you feel that way?
I'm more interested in the side of the spectrum containing the posts that are the most clearly likely to be agreed upon as examples of trolling. It's my opinion that way too many of this variety of trolling voice (augmented by bots) has been shouting trolling messages at groups of people in a way that discourages real attempts at communication. I see this kind of messaging as a way of isolating communities from each other and blocking avenues of communication between perspectives that would otherwise evolve organically.
My reading was "we have to pick something so here's something we have on hand because we don't want to spend all the time of making a fake one we intend to throw out anyway".

>All regulations, except on natural resources like land, should be eliminated in my opinion, as they are forceful interventions against people exercising their legitimate right to freely contract and utilise their own private property.

That's a sickening utopian vision, but luckily we live in the real world.
That's really fascinating and I didn't know that.

> Adding children is pushing it - because the parent controls the child's money, so there is a conflict of interest.

I absolutely agree. I'd push it further though. Not just children but anyone who is not in a capacity to freely spend the money. To make a contrived example, someone may not simply kidnap a person and take their universal basic income.

I go farther to say that local/state/federal government may not take the money for people in their custody. There ought to be some way to protect it from being garnished as well.

I think we should not oversell this. There might be a lot of people who are perfectly content with being able to survive and get by. If they do not want to participate further in the economy, I think we should say that's fine. The ax I have to grind in this is that maybe if people are not scared of starving to death after leaving a job they don't like doing, maybe we will have more people doing jobs they do like doing and maybe just maybe me and others will have a better shot at doing what we love doing even if it is at a slightly lower (after taxes) pay than before.

Ask HN: I've been asked to sign a IP Assignment Deed as an employee
So I used to work for a company, being one of two employees that created a piece of software.

I was hired as an employee of the company with no share holding, and signed a fairly standard contract where my time and anything I created during the time I was employed belonged to the company.

Just recently, the company is selling it's product and the purchasing company has asked that all employees sign a IP Assignment Deed.

My understanding is that, since I've already assigned all IP to the company that I worked at, I don't have any legal rights to assign my IP to this new entity... well because, I don't actually own any of it.

Is it common for past employees (not shareholders or founders) to have to sign these when products are being purchased? I was made redundant 2 years ago.
It sounds like GVFS solves the problems of big repos by only fetching and diffing files you actually need. It might handle a 300GB repo, but its does this by only working with the 1GB of the repo you actually use, and "virtualizing" the rest. If you pulled down the full 300GB repo then it would suffer from the same issues as a vanilla git repo.

GFVS isn't really a file system like NTFS or ext3. It's a way to work with a subset of a git repo in a flexible manner (not submodules).
Damn.

This reminds me a lot of a fantastic podcast episode on the pros and cons of automation: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/children-of-the-magent...

Really enjoyed this post, seriously, thank you.
Let me put it another way. In your construction, if I make a post, and someone makes a comment on a post which a responder then describes as trolling, How may I objectively determine whether or not that comment qualified as trolling?

Since I am the poster, and at least one responder has called it trolling, it is now trolling if and only if I say it is trolling. In this case, I have no objective definition to look to. This is both a real world case, and a case where your definition is degenerate, which I would call a critical failure of your definition.
> Sadly I think it's very unlikely to happen, unless the rich figure out that their wealth is going to be redistributed violently if they don't do voluntarily.

Do you really think this will be possible in a decade? With the advances in technology such as the military robots, you yourself describe, it seems increasingly unlikely.
Just to be extra-clear, I think you mean "instead of," rather than the ambiguous "over." (Though I'd prefer U2F to either.)

I don't like this UX, clicking into a thread and subthread removes the 'skimmable' aspect. I tried it on this thread and it took me around 10 clicks (forgot the count and not doing it again) to read everything. It also includes waiting and loading. You also lose the context of the replies.

Compare that with 0 clicks and 0 friction reading on HN.

Perhaps code is good but UX is bad.

I cut out jets entirely. The programs that I anticipate having to execute are mostly simple compositions of retrieving data, storing data, transmitting packets, and cryptographic operations, so being able to do heavy computations did not seem worth the complexity. It is still early days in this project, though, so I might change my mind.

Infinite loops are covered by a general cost-tracking system. A computation begins with a certain number of ticks allocated to it, which an agent will use to weigh the CPU/storage space/network usage of what they're executing against the benefit of maintaining a relationship with the agent for whom it is executing. Infinite loops will just run down the tick counter and terminate.

I am not compiling Hoon. I have not actually learned it well yet! Since the programs involved are simple, I have mostly just been writing Nock slightly programmatically, like this: https://github.com/PeterReid/hoplight/blob/3971f7c7e45bceed9...

But I did write an abomination to make that a little easier. I am programmatically constructing a the AST here, since I have not gotten around to writing a parser.

lett(vec![
("decrement", lambda(vec!["target", "possible_antecedent"],
iff( equal(var("target"), increment(var("possible_antecedent"))),
var("possible_antecedent"),
invoke("decrement", vec![ var("target"), increment(var("possible_antecedent"))]))
))
],
invoke("decrement",
vec![var("~"), literal_u8(0)]
)
)

But I will probably learn Hoon instead.

Edit: I thought to add, after reading the sibling comment, that another reason I cut out jets was that basic arithmetic operations were less obviously in scope, because the atoms are byte sequences instead of natural numbers.
could you elaborate on how this is meant to be a response to my comment?

It was around when Dijkstra died that UT switched away from Haskell to Java. And yes, from what I've heard from several faculty members around in that period, a lot of it was from external pressure from large regional employers (some of which you have mentioned).
Legally there isn't much you can do beyond a snapback either, depending on how the line is classified you have to complete a simple port within 24hrs if the CSR (customer service record) matches.

Generally, if the CSR partially matches what the new provider gives, the port will be approved as the old CLEC doesn't want any escalation of a port.

To build discipline and focus, try using a timer. Variations of this are called the pomodoro technique. Set a time for work and a time for play/breaks/distractions.

One possibility is 45 minutes of working, 15 minutes off. Use the 15 minutes to read HN, reply to emails or IMs, read about that thing you just remembered on Wikipedia. If you have ideas or compulsions that get into your head and feel urgent, take a moment to write them down to look at during your break time.

If your work is less pressing or your distractibility is more intense you could try 15 minutes on and 25 off.

The cool part about this technique is you can increase the amount of work time as your focus improves.
Negative margins are a result of starting_cost/n + unit_costn > unit_pricen.

If unit_cost > unit_price, then increasing n hurts, but in cases where unit_cost > unit_price, increasing n moves your margins to the positive, unless marginal costs increase--which is admittedly sometimes the case, but in many cases they go down.
The practice has been in place so long, even a lumbering giant like Verizon requires it... Hahaha

I like Perl a lot better than awk, buy I do agree with the general sentiment of using the language that makes for the clearest code for the task at hand, especially the smaller ones. Which makes me a frequent awk proponent.

So I'm surprised at the following part of your comment:

> There is no reason to use perl in situation when awk kicks its butt with clearer, shorter code free of distracting author and other line noise

In my experience, the shorter ask code tends to be the one with sigils.
Your question seems rhetorical, but here are my thoughts anyway...

This is the new normal, coinciding with the death of expertise.

The WebKit developers clearly are not working in a vacuum, if one bothers to read the blog post:

> Our proposal has been received positively by our colleagues at other browser engines, GPU vendors, and framework developers.

Not to mention that the WebKit developers are pretty much the forefathers of all modern web tech. So the WebKit developers and their colleagues are the experts. And the expert consensus is the successor to WebGL will be something new, something that can be implemented in DirectX 12+, Metal, and Vulkan.

But all the non-experts have heard of Vulkan, and are armed with the simplistic notion that Vulkan is the "next generation of OpenGL". They erroneously conclude that WebGL's successor must also be a Vulkan based solution.

The non-experts will justify this belief with all manner of ridiculous conspiracy-esque conclusions to reinforce their bias. Like "Apple is trying to force the standard", "Apple wasted their time developing Metal", "Apple is a closed-source walled garden", "Apple is expensive". All of which is is essentially the tech version of "libtard" based arguments.

RIP expertise.
Yeah, so I've just spent about four hours trying it, and unfortunately it doesn't seem possible. They don't let you set more than one proxy setting for a site, which makes it impossible.
Yes, you are right, but solving the problem of adversarial input is probably NP. A validation layer can intercept every API call and validate it. It's probably the best you can do. The nice thing about it, is that you could actually use it in many different contexts, since, you know, Vulkan makes it a standard feature of the driver.
Not really, that recent crash in San Francisco had alarms going off like crazy and the idiot pilot still managed to crash the plane. Once you read enough NTSB reports / bulletins about General Aviation accidents (usually only big stuff makes the news) it becomes very clear that accidents happen and bad decisions happen. Like turning off the wrong engine...
Landline & VOIP providers rarely have a PIN or security question on file, and CLECs like Level 3 (who supplies Twilio and many others) will approve nearly any port since their customers don't keep customer service records for each number on file with them.
Honestly I don't see a lot of those anymore. Perhaps it's the ad blocker, perhaps it's the fact that they realized it doesn't work well, or perhaps I just don't go to sites that push it.

Just so you know the forces are actually proportional to the square of equivalent airspeed which is indicated airspeed adjusted for the compressibility of the air at the sensor. Indicated airspeed is still a better number than true airspeed for approximating the aero forces

That's why the post works in ratios of weekend to weekday. Regardless of how much more or less likely someone is to ask about one language than another language (e.g. because they're already familiar with it), the numbers in the OP should still indicate relative usage amounts at different times.
I have a VC1S (or what seems to be now start cloud für 2,99€) in Paris.

Network is stable and fast enough for me (iperf ~500Mbit to 800Mbit to Hetzner / DFN).

CPUs are Intel Atom Avoton - these are slower than a 'real' Xeon Core, not as slow as the dedicated ARM boxes. I'm just serving static content and do some rsync on the box for that it's perfectly fine. If you are on an overbooked Droplet you have similiar/worse performance.

Everything else is pretty much not so great. IPv6 is a joke you get a single address + gateway /127 - Snapshots only work when machine is offline - it's not possible to easily resize or move machines between Paris/Amsterdam.

Storage is over nbd afaik not local but it was always fast enough for me.

You don't have control over your kernel and you have to use what Scaleway offers you - althrough there are some hacks that are not reboot-safe to fiddle with iPXE - so you can even run *BSD - https://community.online.net/t/openbsd-on-a-vc1/1933

But you get worse deals for 2,99€ from most VPN providers. If you want to use it for something serious I'd be careful through and do some throughough testing and benchmarking before.
You're getting downvoted, but you're right. Currently, the US is implicitly subsidizing other countries in this regard. If we removed the trade barriers for prescription drugs, US prices would fall and other countries would end up paying more.
You would predict that discouraging healthcare "consumption" through higher co-pays would cut down on office visits for minor problems, but not for major issues, because with major health issues you have no choice not to go.

How much is an office visit for runny nose? USD 50, USD 100? And how many frequent flyers are thee in the population, one out of ten, perhaps? It's just not plausible that it's the doctor-fetishists that cause US healthcare to be 4 times as expensive as the rest of the developed world.
I'm not really sure what else to say, then. Can any project with similar ideas answer anything other than "no, nothing different"? The idea for all the different projects is to make self-hosting sufficiently easy and usable, just different ways to come about it. You could ask the same thing about IPFS or even Bitcoin, and the disregard it when you don't get a yes.
>Entertaining a king is valuable, in the economic sense, but feeding and housing a poor is not.<

No, actually. The economic notion of value is subjective. Economic thought, despite popular perception, does not view value in purely monetary terms. Instead, value is seen as subjective: something is valuable because humans value it. Human desire is the very definition of what makes something valuable.

There are plenty of examples of agreement on this. Cannibalism - to name one.
First of all, you don't HAVE to sign anything now. It is very common in due diligence to try to chase down details like this.

If you feel like cooperating, but are just uncertain of your standing, you can sign a quitclaim assignment, essentially stating that whatever IP claims that you might have (which might be none), you assign to the new entity.

If you don't feel like cooperating, you could ask for compensation now in exchange for signing or just tell them to cram it with walnuts.
