Specifically to the CS context, I think some version of double blinded peer code-review should be made mandatory for a publication.

I've seen authors skip quite a many details that are quintessential to the replication process.

In short, if research is not replicable by the peer community it just useless, that's what it is.
That's just silly, Bill Gates wouldn't save another life unless his own life depended on it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either on his payroll or an ignorant fool. Bill is all about profit and power, at the expense of anything; and it's all public information for any one who cares enough to do their own research.
I'm really interested in the comment about someone else running a bot that tries a double-spend based on the answer in the original transaction. It sounds like it didn't work, but it could have. Is there a way to set up these sorts of automated challenges in a way that isn't vulnerable to that?
His first "idea" blog post seemed to have 250,000 pageviews in 1 week, which is quite impressive. I wonder where that inflow came from.

We're technically using it in production for my site, www.bugdedupe.com, but we're still in beta, so we haven't experienced heavy usage.

We've been using Kubernetes to deploy Docker containers on Google Container Engine, and while there have been a few issues due to Docker/Kubernetes (namely, getting the containers to expose localhost to each other, and to expose themselves to the world), the issues that we've had so far have been issues that we would have been bit by eventually. Namely, if we hadn't been forced to deal with the issues now, we would have been screwed later. There have been some weird bugs due to the internal environment that containers use (we had extremely slow DNS lookups that caused our request times to shoot up to 9s each). These issues have been transient though, so it's not clear that it's Dockers fault, or if we're making mistakes in our code.

Docker has made our deployment much easier. You just build & push your container, and you instantly have a versioned deployable instance of your code. Kubernetes makes it extremely easy to rollout or rollback containers, so I have nothing but good things to say about containers.
Ha I actually made an iOS & watchOS app based on that side of the equation after thinking "what's the minimum input I can provide for good hydration reminders?"

It gives a reminder to drink water any time it's been three hours since you've peed...

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pee-see-drink-more-water/id1...

Not super scientific, but less of a hassle than tracking water input and it tends to adapt well to factor in things like exercise where more water is needed. It also tends to even out over time when drinking alcohol or coffee. Urine color can also vary depending on foods, like how B12 makes it fluorescent yellow, so the time factor can be another useful indicator.
Wow this has been the opposite of my experience. I have seen many cases where women are fast tracked or given more opportunities as engineers because of diversity programs. There was one case where a female engineer got her salary adjusted to median position salary because she was a woman and they didn’t want the appearance of underpaying a female engineer, meanwhile I am 16% below company median for my position.
It's great that hftguy thinks Google Container Engine is stable (I work on it) but I'm sorry to say it's very easy to prove that is, in fact, running Docker on the nodes.

You can just SSH into one and see for yourself.

Kubernetes was built from the ground up to orchestrate Docker. CoreOS did a lot of work to make it possible to trade rkt in for Docker's engine, and the cri (Container Runtime Interface) is now generalising that so that there is a clear abstraction between the kubelet and the engines it orchestrates. Read about it here: http://blog.kubernetes.io/2016/12/container-runtime-interfac...

If you want to do things that are different to what we provide support for on GKE as a Managed Service (tm), you're able to run your own Kubernetes clusters on GCE. (We do let you run a Kubernetes alpha version, but only on non-supported clusters that self-destruct after 30 days.
Hey, thanks for the advice! Pricing is not something we have a lot of experience with, so we'll definitely take all that you say on board.

We still need to work out the perfect pricing structure, but as it stands, once we are out of beta we will not be providing a free plan. I agree with your sentiment; I don't think offering the product for free gives us any long term advantages, and risks negatively impacting paying customers.

Thank you for the resources, and for a very valuable comment.
It doesn't have to be a new torrent. You could just join the swarm for an existing torrent and seed different data for selected parts of the torrent.
Would you like to make a wager supporting this view? I will bet you $1000 that combined sales of Amazon Echos + Google Homes will be bigger in 2017 than they were in 2016.

I went in the other direction because their personal plan went from $5 (IIRC) to $20. I have a $5 droplet hosting it and the only difference is that I have to restart Ghost nightly or it will eventually seize up.

Honestly I don't know why I'm using it though. I probably should be using Jekyl or something like that.

Those amendments only apply to the government. A corporation may arbitrarily restrict your rights and you have no recourse other than to avoid the corporation. This is why social media is a trap. It looks at first glance like a highly evolved town square but it is not. It is a private space masquerading as a town square, but one where you may be silenced for the wrong words.

The same applies to the alexa device you chose to put in your living room. Your private life now belongs to Amazon. The 4th amendment does not apply. Your privacy is now the property of a corporation that may do what it pleases with the information from your previously private home life.

I totally agree. The third constant of life, after Death and Taxes, is Bullshit. It is preciciely why the scientific method was conceived, as a way to filter out the progress hindering bullshit that laces all passed-on information due to emebelishments brought on by ambition.
It would be interesting to know if these issues (lack of advancement opportunity, voice not heard, poor assignment, personality perceptions) are exclusive to technology or if they also occur in, for instance, finance and medicine.

This would be informative because it would tell us if tech is doing something uniquely discouraging, or if there is a wider problem.
Such a clever idea.
I am neither a Docker expert nor evangelist, and I have my own gripes and frustrations with it, but this article is full of misinformation and FUD. To wit:

> CoreOS is an operating [system] that can only run Docker and is exclusively intended to run Docker.

No, it isn't. (Maybe if you substitute "Docker" with "containers.")

> First, the main benefit of Docker is to unify dev and production. Having a separate OS in production only for containers totally ruins this point.

No, it doesn't. Completely the opposite, in fact: Docker makes it possible to not care about OS differences between dev, test, and prod.

> Docker on Debian is major no-go

> Docker is 100% guaranteed suicide on Debian 8 and it’s been since the inception of Docker a few years ago

> Debian froze the kernel to a version that doesn’t support anything Docker needs and the few components that are present are rigged with bugs.

rubs temples It's Linux. It's Debian. You can run any kernel you want. There are plenty of repositories out there with binary kernels, including Debian's own back-ported 4.9 kernel, or you can build one from source. Because, you know, open source. I've run many instances of Jessie on Linode with their 4.8 and 4.9 kernels and it's no problem. Hundreds of companies are running Docker in production on Debian and Debian-derived systems.

> I am not aware of any serious companies than run on Ubuntu.

Just because you are not aware does not mean they do not exist. How about Netflix, Snapchat, Dropbox, Uber, and Tesla for starters?

> I cannot comment on the LTS 16 as I do not use it.

It's been out since last April. If you're serious about this survey, this is a no-brainer.

> I received quite a few comments and unfriendly emails of people saying to “just” use the latest Ubuntu beta

What? No. Just use the latest LTS.

> I am moderately confident that there is no-one on the planet using Docker seriously AND successfully AND without major hassle.

My only experiences with Wix websites have been completely negative. Slow load times, non-functional interfaces, menus and the like and terrible designs (as in, presentation layout and formatting of graphics and other objects) have been the norm for me. It's cheap, and folks are getting what they pay for.
Sadly, the problem is not just excessive treatment, but also lack of them, for the exact same reason: medics seemly hate science.

Example: Thyroid disease diagnostic and treatment problems are so common, that there are organizations made solely to support thyroid patients, including having lawyers specialized in suing doctors to force them to start treatment...

The reason for that, is that although there is plenty of research showing that the 80s blood tests are too conservative (they only show positive to people that are usually too damaged beyond any repair), many doctors insist in using solely those tests, and ignore symptoms and newer blood tests.

This does have to do with pharmaceutic industry though, some of the organizations pushing for the 80s tests are all supported by pharma companies, and the same companies also have lobbists that try to get in the way of allowing research of treatments that would skip such companies, for example many patients only improve when using "alternative" but centuries old methods that were known to work for centuries, yet lobbists and pharma companies try to convince doctors and politicians that these ancient methods are "wrong because they are old", and don't allow even research to proceed properly, the leading manufacturer of thyroid medicine that works is in Thailand, because in most other countries their business is considered shady or sketchy.

Same thing happen in psychiatry, problems that are popular in the public mind are overdiagnosed, specially when they have expensive medication, yet when the problems aren't popular, psychiatrists refuse to treat sufferers. I found a strange case with ADHD: kids are being pumped full of meds due to the fact that they keep disrupting classrooms and ADHD is a "popular" disease with kids, but all adults I know that are actual sufferers from ADHD to the point of disrupting their adult lives, struggle to find treatment, with the usual excuse from doctors being that the meds are "too dangerous" (then why give it to the kids by the boatload?) or that people in their 20s seeking meds must be some kind of junkie looking to boost academic performance, nevermind if non-academic symptoms are there too.
The journal I work for just rolled out a new methods format; the big change is requiring all resources to be listed, with their origin (a major problem is that Chemical A or lab rat subspecies B might be very different from one company or another, even if they're theoretically identical.) What's really needed is broader standardization of all practices; requiring video wouldn't solve the issue that different labs might not know what another would think needed to be videotaped. No one is going to document and record the entire course of an experiment; that would literally be months of footage. We'd like to make sure everyone has the same understanding of procedures and techniques, but that requires communication not just through journals, but between scientists and academic institutions.
I don't think it's as likely as you assume. Let's say you ask the computer to implement your adder, and you feed it the results of a few dozen, or a few hundred uint32 a + uint32 b = uint32 c operations. By coincidence, however, in all of those operations, every time bit a[14] is zero, bit c[26] also happens to be zero. The computer may produce an implementation which assumes this is always the case. The computer may also reason it does not need to look at some of the input bits, if say, for all of the tests, bit b[2] == bit b[16].

It may seem that a solution with assumptions like those are more complex than a simple addition operation, and thus the computer will find the addition solution first, but "simple" is a matter of perspective. Addition requires a logic cascade through the entire number, since the carries of the lower bits must be passed to the upper bits, which requires a critical path equal to the entire length of the inputs/outputs. In searching for an implementation which satisfies the few dozen/hundred test cases you feed it, making assumptions like those in the first paragraph can drastically shorten the critical path, and require far less logic since it's ignoring much of the input. Thus algorithmically, the addition operation may be seen as more complex.
> ou've also probably written somewhere around 2x the code the actual program would require as well.

If you go trough the easiest path, you just need to write the program and compare the results with the AI's ;)

But if you go on a case by case basis, your work will grow exponentially with the program size, not a mere 2x.

>You realize that comments from analysts have been hugely wrong before?

Yes they're often wrong but I wasn't talking about predictions. I was talking about how they described the past. Uber was already beating taxis in limited markets without any subsidies.

If I'm interpreting your position correctly, you believe that the only possible way for Uber to be cheaper than taxis is through subsidies. This isn't true.

Financial arbitrage of transportation by using crowd-sourced cars instead of taxis has been discovered by a dozen companies besides Uber. In fact, the opposite tactic of no subsidies and aggressive surge pricing can still be cheaper than taxis.[1] Put another way, Uber (crowd-sourced cars and not the luxury Black Service) without subsidies is by design, cheaper than taxis. What the subsidies attempt do is make Uber cheaper than Lyft/Didi.

The subsidies were part of a competitive strategy to try and bleed Lyft and Didi to death. (It didn't work with Didi and Uber called a truce with them. How Lyft plays out remains to be seen.) However, the subsidies are not necessary for Uber fares to be cheaper than taxis.

I don't regret, nor force.
Has Amazon spent a lot of effort on ECS? I am totally ignorant here, but the people who I consider more knowledgeable about AWS things have said in a nutshell that "in 2015 the things I heard about ECS were not good things, and I have basically not heard any new things since then."

Basically stating that ECS was Amazon's attempt to plant a flag in the container-space and that it was half-hearted, not done with the rigor of solutions like k8s that had additional advantages of also being cloud-agnostic, and finally that ECS was not a solution that anyone they knew was recommending or would recommend.
Royalty-free? Looks like a bad deal.
> CoreOS is an operating that can only run Docker and is exclusively intended to run Docker.

This is a patently false statement and needs to be revised, especially given:

> I will not comment on it.

P.S. I'm getting downvoted for speaking the truth, no matter how pedantic it may seem. CoreOS can run rkt containers and is not exclusively intended to run Docker. One possible reason is because Docker is the 800 lb. gorilla in the room and having options is always good.

P.P.S. Gotta love the Streisand Effect. :)
The link you provided suggests that one of the main ways for carbon to enter the atmosphere or ocean is through volcanic eruptions and geological hot spots. Isn't increased geological activity one of the results of orbital resonance?

If the 'central' planet has 6 close neighbours of equivalent size in resonant orbits would this not provide a very large amount of 'stirring'? These planets are also much more massive than Europa which is only 0.008 times the mass of the Earth compared to ~.6 and ~1.3 Earth masses for the ones in the habitable zone. They may have a more substantial mantle and core, possibly global magnetic fields and definitely more gravity to hold on to any fugitive gasses.

Considering geological timescales, this system is also billions of years younger than our own, potentially only a little over 500 million years old. The processes you draw concern to may simply not have had time to play out yet.

I'm also not convinced that the atmosphere would be cold enough to freeze out gasses on the night side if there were significant oceans or enough atmospheric circulation to transfer heat from the day side.

It's only not private if you can't trust the information to be kept private, which is the central point of Amazons argument: the information is currently private; it will cease to be private if Amazon can be compelled to hand it over.

At Bugfender we are doing a complete redesign of our site and company image. One of the things we want to change is the logo, so as we really appreciate people opinions we have "open sourced" the logo selection.
the problem is, that the docker (community) or rather the company behind it, focuses on too much, instead of just doing one thing and doing it great.
no they need to reimplement the world and create their own kubernetes (or some sort of it).
their new website is less accessible as it was in the old version, etc...
and all the new projects and people.
and the various ways to configure docker. why does a simple container engine needs to have so many parameters to configure it?
the network experience is still not as good as it could be and docker is still way more complicated to setup than a simple aws and some AWS AMIs.

The project's site is referring to an outdated version of the requirement. As I noted above, the requirement they refer to is only a SHOULD (some CAs might not have complied with it) and was replaced at the end of September with a SHALL which requires 64 bits rather than 20.

https://cabforum.org/2016/07/08/ballot-164/

Edit: I told them about this and they've fixed it; it now says "64 bits" instead of "20 bits".
This project is "dead" for quite some time now. Don't know if they really restructure the project (this was the last active conversation i witnessed in the issues section https://github.com/cyndis/qmlrs/issues/28 ) or if its just abandoned now. currently i use this for playing around with rust + qml https://github.com/White-Oak/qml-rust this is the one used in the example, too

Maybe it's more akin to the fifth amendment rights of a spouse/significant other/close family? I don't think Amazon would have an easy case in either direction, but at least to this layman it sounds more like a fifth amendment issue than a first amendment issue.
True, that might be the case as power plants and infrastructure are expensive. But there's also existing infrastructure and there is a lot of industry already in place supporting fossil fuels, such as equipment makers, manufacturers, and fuel suppliers.

These operations won't necessarily just go out of business or just become renewable energy firms, they will likely drop prices and sell to other developing markets.

Renewable energy is largely defined by high upfront capital costs but long term savings (solar panels, wind turbines). This is the primary barrier that I see in poorer countries. The cost of fossil fuels is more distributed over time as you buy cheap engines and pay more over time for the fuel.

Again this is the short term side effects. Eventually it will shift to green tech as there will also be social pressures, not just economic ones. It will also be a positive benefit as prices drop and helps develop industry - even if their are climate costs.
That part makes sense, but it would seem that the fourth amendment (or even the fifth) would be the one they'd want to cite. The first amendment would only make sense if they government was trying to punish someone for the content of their speech. That isn't the case here. The government is trying to punish someone for murdering someone else. That is in no way protected under the first amendment.

The fourth amendment is usually the one where judges find privacy rights. The first amendment is the opposite...it guarantees you the right to be public without being punished for it. It would even make more sense to argue that the fifth amendment protections on self-incrimination cover these recordings, though that would be a really hard sell considering wire taps don't enjoy that kind of protection.
