Title says "virtfs permits guest to access entire host filesystem". First answer says "Yet another example where SELinux could have mitigated this effect". You say "That's not true".

"Entire host filesystem" is "/" and anything below, right? If your QEMU process is running in a SELinux context, there is no way it could access the "entire host filesystem".

And as your footnote, a mistake in SELinux configuration is highly unlikely. Once your process is running in a context, you have to have an explicit transition to the unconfined context or you have to relabel the "entire host filesystem" with the context of the QEMU process.
What would be the benefit of that? Might as well just compile to native and distribute that without all the overhead, no?
It got outcompeted by Flash, JavaScript had zero to do with it.

Had Apple not forbidden Flash on iOS, there would be no JavaScript superiority to talk about.
My initial reaction to this was "Pewdiepie is involved in some kind of racism thing? Hadn't heard of that." So I switch over to the YouTube app in my TV and search his name. The first result is "Is Pewdiepie a racist?" with him photoshopped to look like Hitler or something. Well, it's confirmed now.

I wish South Park had done more research on him two seasons ago before making him their season finale and spending the last two seasons on an anti-Trump campaign. How can they BOTH be Hitler?

This -ism shit is how people try to take you down. Uber was fawned over by HN for taking down the lame taxi organizations. Remember? Taxis are bad they have medallions and control the market. Uber the underdog fighting the man. Want to take Uber out? Give them an -ism. CEO talks to Donald Trump? Ew bad he has isms. Someone said sexism? Every single post about Uber 5 times a day is anti-Uber now.

With that price (I had expected it to be higher), it looks like they're positioning themselves against Vega already. We all win!

I'm locked in with a GSync monitor, and can't wait to replace my 2x 980s with this one. I'll still wait for Vega to come out, hopefully putting downward pressure on the pricing.

Has philosophy ever clarified mathematics?

Let's frame this question properly for analysis.

All work of Aristotle is philosophy.
Aristotle's work includes syllogistic logic.
Syllogistic logic clarifies mathematical inference.
Mathematical inference is part of mathematics.

Therefore, some philosophy clarifies mathematics.

QED
Do we know for sure ryzen does not have ecc support?
browsers that support WASM will support ES6 natively. compiling ES6 to WASM would not be a good idea, since you would have to send a garbage collector and full dynamic language runtime down the pipe instead of just using the one in the browser.

wouldn't you rather just run ES6 right in the browser instead of compiling it first at all?

Twitter has been chasing the explosive growth dream for years. It's not going to happen for them.

If I were in charge, my number one goal would be to change expectations for shareholders and investors.

Twitter has had all the rapid expansion it is going to have. From here on out, it needs to focus on retaining users and slow, steady growth.

It needs to rebuild bridges with developers and become the platform it used to be.

It needs to stop pretending that it can be a multi-billion user network and focus on serving the several hundred millions of people who care about it.

I think a big part of the management thinking problem at twitter comes from the fact that they suffered repeated outages early on. They invested a lot in terms of people and infrastructure to make sure they they don't go down anymore. And it worked. We almost never see the fail whale anymore.

I suspect that a lot of people inside twitter are sitting around in meetings saying, "Look, we're ready for 3 billion users. We built it for that. Where are the users?"

And perhaps some other people are saying, "Look, if we carry this monetization scheme to 3 billion users, we would make x money. We have the infrastructure for it. Let's bring the people and make the money."

The problem is that twitter's product just isn't that appealing to very many more people than they already have active.

They hit the max of their growth potential very early in their time. Now it's time to serve the users they have the best they can.

Twitter's number one problem is that they don't understand their market: it's not now and not ever going to explode to the level of facebook use.

Fix #1: explain that clearly to all investors, stakeholders, employees.

Fix #2: cut costs. There's no way it should cost as much as it does to run twitter.

Fix #3: stop trying to be Facebook lite.

Fix #4: repair your platform and relationships with developers. Developers will drive traffic to you and help you generate ad dollars.
Some of that is definitely there. I still see a 2-5 minute delay on video streams (based on show start times etc.). I don't notice any issues with blurring but I'm usually watching old SD shows (star trek on bbc) or cartoons.
1) yes

Absolutely no IE support though.
That's what I find great too, though for some reasons they put too much emphasis on JS-wasm compatibility and less on language support(i.e DOM or GC are considered "unicorn" features). I'm pretty sure 90% of the web developers won't mix js with wasm once they can compile their preferred language to wasm. You will find either js apps or wasm apps. There may be also a very small percent of js apps with wasm modules(i.e for video decoding)

A reference implementation of something is not end-user software, it's meant to be part of the specification by codifying semantics. An interpreter is more useful in this case (what would even be the compile target?).
Not everyone can use ES6 or transpilers.

For example, on the type of projects I work on, all tooling is certified by customers IT and anything extra requires change request, that might get approved, or not.
I'd wait for AMD's Vega. They are rumored to exceed ~1080's performance at a lower price. They'd also work better in conjunction with Ryzen boards.

With widespread FreeSync availability (and better monitors), buying a Nvidia card is almost shooting oneself on their foot.
Had a company that was solving sort of this problem a while back (early 2000s). Read in forms (1003 for example), did automated underwriting (hooked in with Fannie Mae), pulled in rate sheets from different Banks to do automatic rate calculations for loan officers. Rate sheets were loaded in daily. There was a rules engine to cover the many complex rules required to determine if a loan was viable for a given 1003 form, etc.

Managed warehouse lines, etc.
Does this mean not all instructions are treated equal ? Some instructions need to make an extra check before or after the execution OR some instructions will be deprecated and new instructions need to be added ?
No, WebAssembly is not currently a general-purpose replacement for JavaScript. Maybe in the future it will be, but right now WebAssembly doesn’t have any APIs to access the DOM. This makes it only good for quickly doing calculations with numbers or data that can be easily represented as numbers, such as implementing a physics engine for a browser game.
Few games are truly multi-threaded, so for gaming it's better to have a faster processor even if it's less cores.
ECC support is a motherboard feature, not a CPU feature, isn't it?
Full motion, 360 degree doesn't change the card requirements, and you can do two cards if necessary, so the only real barrier is 4k rendering.

Apparently a 1060 can already render a game like overwatch in 4k, so I think we're already there. You just need to find someone that will take 4k screens out of some phones and put them in a headset.

You think Uber's sexual harassment problems are unique? (If only!) I can't think of a time in recent memory that a founder was removed for something like this. He'll certainly need "leadership help" to reign-in the madness that's been described, but it seems more likely that will take a Sheryl Sandberg-esque form. (An awesome new 2nd-in-command with real leadership experience and chops.)
So much of my confusion is mapping POST and PUT to CREATE and UPDATE, which I've always felt was an arbitrary semantic decision. Why the unambiguous words CREATE and UPDATE are not used in the HTTP spec as method names is beyond me.
Let's refrain from using that term as hyperbole. It wasn't fake news as much as it was unknown or mistaken news.

Also, second-hand smoke does have negative health consequences AND in an enclosed, unventilated area like a bar or restaurant, it is impossible to avoid having the smell cling to your clothes and hair. I smoke occasionally, but it's a disgusting and filthy habit and I don't want to assault someone else's senses, similar to reheating fish in the office microwave.
So the ultra rich should grow wealthier faster than middle class Americans because there are poorer countries in the world? Absurd.

Yes. People really hate C that much. C++ brought some sanity to the language, but I continue to be firmly in the camp of continuing to hate and despise its existence.
Airflow works well for "static" jobs, but I miss something like airflow for dynamic jobs.

By dynamic, I mean something like "user sent us some new data to process, create a custom graph just for this data". I can create new airflow graph per each processing pipeline with new dag id every time, but airflow was not created for use case like this and it's not working well in such scenario.
Have two accounts for regular(free) users and enterprise(paid) users:

1. Free/Regular user - Restricted to 'x' tweets a day, 'y' tweets a month or ad served etc. Not applicable for enterprises, marketing firms etc.

2. Paid/Enterprise user - No restrictions on tweets per day. Enterprises need to pay 'z' amount on a monthly/yearly basis. No ads are served to the account holder. More privacy, backup options. Tweets are promoted based on keywords etc.
Why not just 255?
It does. Asrock support claims their AM4 motherboards support it.
I was just over on Bantayan island in the Philippines a few days back. Met a lot of Europeans that stay their for 4 months at a time. You can find rooms for around $165 a month if your ok with something minimal. Summer time is just starting so there will be nice sunny days.

There is wifi on the island, just not super fast. Bring a Kindle with some books etc.
For 4K VR, you don't need to render the entire scene in 4K. Only a few degrees of the center of vision really needs to be rendered in 4K, and the image can be at a much lower definition the farther you get to the periphery (foveated rendering).

Future headsets can use internal cameras to track the position of the pupils to figure out where that sweet spot needs to be every frame.
Ryzen CPUs support ECC
You can watch iPlayer via a VPN or DNS service like unblock.us (do not know if they have service in Japan).

Note to the BBC - I would be to pay 3x the license fee to be able to watch on the internet with a subscription from outside the U.K. I bet if you opened it up world wide you would make more money then you do on the all the U.K license fees.
Well, they lose effectiveness. The body adjusts to the constant input. Which is what addiction is. What many people don't understand is that addiction isn't drug abuse. We should fight to remove the negativity the word addiction have.

Very annoying that the body do this. If you could figure out a drug that prevents this you could make billions!

For example and something everyone can try:
My body is addicted to coffee. If I don't take it for a few days I'll become very tired, headaches, etc. It's lasts for about two weeks. While addicted I don't abuse it. I've even switched to tea a few times.
I would hate to have twitter SMS me.
The lack of choice has to be hated. Some hate JS just for that.
Interview with mathematician Eugenia Cheng
Your comment actually hides a lot of truth - it's all about the level of quality that is desired, and that will probably keep going for quite a while.
I fail to see the issue here.

If anything, this whole thing makes me respect Kalanick and Uber more.

I watched the video of the driver ambushing Kalanick - and yes, it was clearly an ambush:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTEDYCkNqns

If anything, he handled himself quite well - especially considering he probably just wanted to go home.

Can any of you say you would have handled a tense situation, with somebody abusing you any better?

It's all well and good to sit in your chair at home, comfortable - but how many of you had to deal with

The fact that he took the time to actually talk with the driver says something. At worst, he said b*llshit at the end, when he's clearly frustrated at what's becoming a rant. The driver obviously just needed to vent.
I understand the viewpoint; but what about a pragmatic peaceful solution: let the persons in need organize and spread the knowledge. We probably could setup an open statistical sufferers sharing platform to avoid rumor/placebo effects without resorting to trust a big industry.

You're right. Raising or lowering minimum wage purchasing power is worthy of caution, but having minimum wage track inflation is an economic no-op, not a shift in policy.

The "I'll get to that" point: * Pocket reports absolutely no user stats. * I've got no counts of tags, articles, read articles, time read, most-read, etc., etc., etc.

This desperately needs adding to the UI and tools.
I'm not a VR developer, but my impression from reading about this (or maybe listening to some John Carmack talks) was the opposite: that VR was actually demanded much more from graphics cards than non-VR.

This was (going from memory here) due both to the much higher refresh rate that's required, to having to pre-render not only what the user sees but the whole 360 degree sphere they might look to around them at any moment, and perhaps some other VR-specific requirements that don't spring to mind at the moment.

Was I dreaming that I read this? Maybe a VR developer or someone more knowledgeable than I could comment?
Steve Jobs wasn't just an asshole, he was a phenomenally effective CEO. The problem with Kalanick isn't that he's brusque-- it's that his company isn't making money.

What exactly is the failure?

It's very bold to sit here and armchair commentate things. But I watched the actual video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTEDYCkNqns

If anything, I'm impressed he handled it that well - I for one probably wouldn't have, and I suspect a lot of the angry mob wouldn't either. He's a billionaire, for what it's worth, and he actually sat down to try to explain things to a Uber drive, on his night out.

So what, he yells "b*llshit at the end? Or tells the guy to take responsibility? The driver obviously had a bone to pick, and he's ranting.
This still is possible if you manual override on minivans like the Toyota sienna. Makes fillups tense if your kids are impatient, strong and use the wrong door.
Each unit test not ending with an assertion is essentially a hack to locally silence your coverage tool, without actually improving the quality of your test suite.

I call these tests "crash-tests", as a crash is nearly the only thing that they can detect. Crash-tests are indeed what you get if your devs are aiming at a high-coverage number without understanding the rationale behind code coverage.

1. Privitize the company

2. Unemploy 90% of staff from all departments to stop bleeding money

3. Remove all feed filtering and return to a purely chronological timeline; highlights can hide somewhere else.

4. Increase character count to 200, don't count mentions against the limit, and reduce prominence of image posts so they don't overwhelm text-only posts.

5. Throw away all KPIs and remove all features done to service KPIs

6. Organize a small product team dedicated to making the API open and good again

7. Organize a larger product team that works on issues around custom mention/interaction filtering

8. Sell API access for business volume and use cases
It's called noblesse oblige.
Are you sure that $400 amount wasn't just credits for using the app rather than actual money?

It's not exactly like Travis is abusing the driver - if anything, it's the other way around. The driver had a bone to pick, and needed to vent - Travis obviously just wanted to go home, on what was obviously a night off.

The fact he actually took the time to try to listen to the driver, and explain things - that says something for him as a CEO. Sure, he gets frustrated at the end, but he certainly handled that level of abuse better than I would, and I suspect, better than many of the armchair commentators here.
While I agree that those are some of the uses, they're not all of them.

Monitoring public opinion is also quite useful if your interest is in actually effectively delivering truthful infomration to the public. It allows testing and developing methods (or defenses, as necessary).

What's key is not confusing what the public believes with what is actually true.

The dynamics of why the public believes what it does, for both extrinsic (media, propaganda, manipulation) and intrinsic (educational levels, cognitive limits, messaging complexity) is hugely useful to understand. Actually, if you're looking for lower-level problems of governance, generally, I'd spend a considerable amount of time in that corner.

True, and he might have also responded with a safe on-brand reply that would have been criticized as "corporate disingenuous".

Give me the genuine emotional reply any day, that's where you find truth, strengths, weaknesses out in the open.

Whether the business model is unfair on drivers is a separate issue to the conduct of this encounter. At the end of the day, the driver went too far saying "I'm bankrupt because of you", I have no sympathy for people who exaggerate to score points.
This is currently true, but I think this will change over time for two reasons:

1) Games are becoming less CPU-bound and are putting more work on the GPU, so the CPU matters less for gaming today than it used to.*

2) Vulkan and DirectX 12 make multi-threading easier and more efficient, so there is more incentive to adopt a parallel architecture with those APIs.

* Of course, I'm generalizing. Strategy games, for instance, are still very CPU-heavy and likely always will be.

You don't have to go that far back in time:

Yes. There's a cost to every decision you make. Sometimes it's the cost of s3 being down. Sometimes it's the cost of some developer time to make services agnostic. The value of that isn't immediately obvious, perhaps.

But the developer cost here (my time) was worth it. Our shit wasn't down, while everyone else's was.

I also want to point out that I spent minimal time setting this up. We can deploy to GCE or commodity VPCs at a moment's notice, and that a project I did over a couple of weekends piggybacking on the ansible playbooks I wrote for AWS.

It's not that hard. You have to get your developers on board with being provider agnostic, and you have to be agnostic yourself. But it is not insurmountable.

It also help when you're the lead dev or your team and also have a good relationship with the devops guy. :)
And sometimes -- nay, always -- I want to know whether I'm wasting my time before I start that journey.
Throughput is not the issue with VR, but latency; it's the time from input to final render, not the amount of time it takes to render a frame that is important (though obviously the latter is a lower-bound on the former).
