As a frequent user of SoundCloud, Gobbler and plain old DropBox to share audio files among fans and colleagues in the industry, I am wondering what the advantage of Sawtooth could be?

I see that you have filters etc., but given that I would rather adjust EQ and effects on my tracks on my own DAW with virtually no latency, I don't know that I would actually do that on a web platform with all the vagaries of lag, dropped signals etc.?

Plus the fact that most audio people have their favourite 'go to' plugins for reverb, delay, chorus etc. as VST/AU plugins that they pull into their DAW - it seems that Sawtooth straddles that line between being a quick 'grab an audio recording snippet for sharing' and a full fledged web based DAW.

I am assuming a 'use case' for this would be to capture a song or riff idea while I was sitting in a hotel room between travelling etc., but to be honest, I have a lot of iPhone apps for doing that and posting directly to the sites I mentioned above. To make Sawtooth compelling, it would probably have to supply some rudimentary DAW like capabilities, such as perhaps a metronome, some sort of ability to do basic MIDI patterns with uploaded samples, and perhaps some rudimentary multi track ability - even 3 or 4 tracks would be great for doing basic song ideas to send to my band members.
I was interested about the statistics of this. 67% living out of wedlock, but how many of these are actual co-habiting parents?

Increase server utilization by packing multiple non-hostile tenants on it, quickly create test environments, have a volatile env. You can have all of those with VMs although at much higher CPU, RAM usage cost.

Ow, how I would have loved for not only Sanders, but also Trump to have been cheated out of their primary election, and then them both to have started a new party, America would have been a four-party system, overnight. One can dream...
To be fair that is misleading. Even in the most extreme cases, Feudal Europe arguably struggled to maintain authoritarianism as it was often government and military power was decentralized. Let's be honest though, I was never talking about feudal Europe. We're talking about America, and yes, modern democracy that built the Western world. Your characterization of it as always authoritarian is plainly erroneous.
In my experience it does two things that VMs don't do as well:

1. More efficient use of hardware (including spin up time)
2. Better mechanisms for tying together and sharing resources across boundaries.

But in the end they don't really do anything you couldn't do with a VM. It's just that people realized that VMs are overkill for many use cases.

Similar, but more similar to lots of the people mentioned in the original post is the german phrase "Gefährliches Halbwissen" or 'dangerous half-knowledge': when you know just enough to seem knowledgable about a subject, but actually have a very basic surface knowledge.

No, the Congressional Review Act provides for an expedited process that cannot be filibustered.
Um… Yes? Why do you think no one would be able to do that?
True.

But consider that many major ISPs supported this unpopular change. Why didn't they fear backlash? Well, outside large cities, there isn't much competition among ISPs. And even when there is, there may be no privacy-friendly options.

Conversely, VPN services compete on privacy and speed. VPN services that pwn users will likely get called out in communities like /r/VPNs. And there are resources like https://thatoneprivacysite.net/ that rate VPN services.
I wouldn't be surprised to see this quickly changed to differentiate between cable and internet.

This is a lie — "fake news", if you will. This congressional action cancels an upcoming change in policy: it maintains the status quo, and therefore "no longer" is not an accurate characterization of the situation.

The thing that's interesting to me is that he knew that this was a famous unsolved problem, knew that he was correct, wanted to take SOME amount of time to publish it, and then didn't care to get it out there at all.

I feel like my course of action would to be to send it to the guy at PSU he contacted and say "if you want to handle the publication bureaucracy, you can be second author."
Digital ocean is blocked by Netflix . At least when I used it with my VPN.
Anyone thinking about futzing about with a WRT router should move their attention to Ubiquiti's EdgeRouter Lite [1] which is an amazing entry level enterprise-grade router that costs ~$99 to buy. It has all the configuration options and more that WRT provides in a native higher-powered router unit.

I found that none of the WRT powered routers could really handle a home 1Gbps connection and that the WRT is getting a little out of date and unmaintained.

I'll upvote you (although technically HN doesn't like meta-commentary about upvotes / downvotes) because you made your point well.

I don't have an issue with every "error" on that page and I have no problem with style guidelines for writing, but the problem comes when the prescriptivists think that logic is on their side when they opine on subjective stylistic and dialectic issues. "Ice tea" is a perfect example. The author of that site argues that "iced tea is not literally made of ice, it simply is 'iced': has ice put into it.". Apparently he is unaware of English's enormous fondness for attributive nouns. By his reasoning, we should all be saying "appled pie", or "apple-infused pie", or something crazy like that.

I also have a more general problem with prescriptivism because frequently it is used to justify a certain type of racist and classist thought.

Hey Google, when all email providers sucked you fixed it with Gmail, you run a DNS at 8.8.8.8, and now -- now, I think you know what you need to do now :)

(I personally recommend you also do a web-based proxy, because who is going to filter https://www.google.com now or in the future?)

I believe in you. You can do it!

Counter this chilling effect today - and show more adwords as a result. (There is no irony in this statement. I mean from web sites that opt into adwords, not from selling VPN traffic logs.)
With one big limitation: they must all run the same os kernel (so you cannot run say a Windows or FreeBSD container on a Linux host).

In fact, nobody guarantees that say Fedora will run on an Ubuntu-built kernel. Or even on a kernel from a different version of Fedora. So, IMO, anything other than running the exact same OS on host and in container is a hack.
If there is an issue it only matters if it's extremely egregious and the worst example?

That could be frustrating. It's an interesting problem. I think the knowledgeable people of YC would probably have an answer for you on, or a way to think about, what to do in the situation where you have unworkable churn and when you talk to your customers and they all have different advice depending on their type.

I don't know if it well help you and I don't know anything about your business but I'll throw in my 2 cents since you're asking for opinions.

Even tho it sounds from your post like you'd like to sell it, the sense I get is you'd actually like to save it if you can. It's your baby, right? And this whole process is extremely frustrating to you. You feel the pressure right now, right? So what I see is this is a sort of real crisis for you. So that's where you are.

And so my question for you is what did you want to achieve when you started this business? What was your goal for it or the very cool idea you had in mind? If you can find that maybe you can get back to that. And if you need to make some changes, and drop some types of customers, and focus on other types of customers, to get back to your core purpose with this, then you'll do that, because this business is that important to you. You're welcome.
Dane Jasper, ceo at Sonic in the bay area has a good track record around privacy...so far...https://corp.sonic.net/ceo/category/privacy/
These comments are helpful. Thanks. Sounds like for a given piece of hardware you might be able to fit 2 or 3 VMs on it, or a lot more containers. But without the security barriers of VMs.

That being the case, why not just use the OS? And processes and shared libraries?
It is an error. "Lie" implies that the false statement was made deliberately, and we have no evidence to suggest that.

Sometimes news stories contain inaccuracies. It happens. Then corrections are issued.
There isn't much competition among ISP's in large cities, either.

AT&T and Verizon have already shown willingness to sell use browser data via supercookies http://techmeme.com/search/query?q=supercookies&wm=false, and the reason they backed off is because the FCC showed it had a spine. There is every reason to believe ISPs will begin these practices again (without requiring opt-in) because these rules have been lifted and Ajit Pai-led FCC is very different from Wheeler's... and there is very little reason for ISPs to fear losing consumer trust because of monopolies/few local high speed options

The problem with this is he is selling it as a working product. Imagine if pharmaceutical companies could eventually cure diseases by testing a drug on consumers, but sold it to them as working - when in reality it is going to kill a bunch of people while the company figures out what works. In the long run this could be a win, but would you be okay with that?

The obvious solution to my complaint - rename Autopilot something else so people don't confuse it as a self-driving car (and many people do think this).

I don't think Elon Musk is interested in educating the public. I think he's interested in dazzling them. Which is why he strikes me as a salesman.
So what's the best VPN that doesn't store or sell their user data?

You start slow. I started from mild for few weeks then cranked it up. Slowly you get so used to it that the yellow tint doesn't bother you. And for me I now have a habit that as soon as I start Photoshop or Illustrator I turn flux off.
But if you repeat the same stochastic process over and over, your expectation of what happens the next time should reflect what happened all the times before. If it doesn't, you are not applying probability theory correctly. Like a gambler who keeps betting, although he keeps losing more than he wins. Whether it is actually insane is another matter, but it definitely isn't smart.
Before anyone races in with a suggestion to use a VPN service, I STRONGLY suggest that you consider running your own self-hosted server instead. There is a great set of Ansible scripts to do just that right here:

But that would show up in the measure for total utility, and so we would decide not to put people in those jobs because it reduces total utility. It's already accounted for.

It seemed grandparent was trying to allude at some outside measure - suppose if these people didn't get "pain" from doing these jobs - as if there's some value outside of utility for respecting someone's human capacity. And Kant does believe in this.

Is there evidence to support the f.lux team's claims at being objectively better in "helping people sleep" other than their word for it? Honest question. Edit: I see there's [0] but it's probably best to try out both f.lux and Night Shift on alternate days and decide for yourself what works better for you.

What stopped Apple from copying f.lux's exact behavior, if they wanted to?

We would have to assume that Apple did 0% testing, or received 0% feedback during the time Night Shift has been out on iOS, before bringing it to the Mac. After all they do have experience with researching health and human behavior from their time on the Apple Watch. They could even compare heart rate, movement and sleep data from Apple Watch users and see how it's affected by Night Shift.

Buggy means vulnerable in this context. A vulnerability in the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi stack is a good way for someone to compromise a machine remotely.

Once you compromise one machine, you're inside the firewall and in a much better position to exploit vulnerabilities in other machines in the network.
Agreed, but it's not about the brand - it's just that in the market segment for a $35-40k mid-size sedan, there's not a whole lot of need to wait two years for a car, which is why it's so uncommon. The reason it doesn't happen to other manufacturers, is because although they have 3-4 year lead times on new models they produce, they're still continuously producing the current models
It wasn't a law passed by Congress and signed by the president... It was a regulation. There is a difference.

Okay. None of that contradicts my claim or makes this article any less untrue.
Everyone says containers help resource utilization but I think there killer raison d'etre is that they are a common static binary packaging mechanism. I can ship Java, Go, Python, or whatever and the download and run mechanism is all abstracted away.
It's not the parent's fault. I read that landing page, clicked around a bit, and still had no idea what I was looking at. The top comment thread here on HN is about how confusing the page is.

> People see you and make a judgement based on that.

What kind of judgment. I think you mean it in a discriminatory sense with prejudices and stereotypes. Not just oh look someone has different shade of brown than me.

> Are you denying that racial discrimination exists?

Are you sure everyone automatically makes judgments based on that? What if the person is a woman also? What if they are gay? Which characteristic is the defining one?

Should we assume and write a story about that or let them tell us what defines them? Maybe they want to be a parent first who happens to be black and not a black parent. Or they don't know any better and need a journalist to come and interpret that for them.
Ask your ISP. Show them this matters to you, enough to cancel your contract. I asked mine (PAXIO in the Bay Area) and they said they have no plans to sell any customer data.
It was hard for me at the beginning many years ago. What worked for me was headphones and a lot of Pink Floyd. It is important to find a balance to work well with others: share your ideas early, whiteboard and sometimes pair with a teammate for doing the spike. Try to find what works for you to keep right balance and avoid unnecessary stress.

I had a professor who liked to talk about how "elementary" did not mean easy, it just means "uses only the foundations."

This proof is a perfect example of that statement. Formulating the problem the right way -- which is most often the hardest part -- was the real challenge here, not the mechanisms needed to do the formulation or the proof.
That is no longer true with respect to Mazda.
And "error" implies that the false statement was not made deliberately, and we have no evidence to suggest that either. So you're not being very truthful yourself.

EDIT: I chose "lie" because to make such an obviously false statement accidentally would be a huge mistake for such a trusted organization as BBC; therefore I judged it far more likely to be a deliberate deception. Obviously there's room for interpretation. We'll see if it's ever "corrected".
How about "when all data is fundamentally structured, a Structured Query Language will be highly useful in many cases?"

Seriously, we live in a universe where everything is composed of lots of smaller things that exist in relation to each other. Relational Data isn't so much a database technology as it is fundamental information theory.
Yeah, since my initial comments on this I understand less despite reading more. I didn't actually know that Dries originally said it had to do with his philosophy; it had already been edited to be more vague at that point. That's why I started with a "well, he did something" attitude.

But the other thing to keep in mind, re:

> It looks like it's designed to be defeated by Larry and give Larry a way to retaliate

Remember that Larry was the first one to go public, so he's the one who got to establish the narrative, not Dries. Larry decided to make this about what he does in the bedroom, and that's now what everyone on the Internet is talking about. Dries, for whatever reason, isn't saying what "the real reason is", so he's left with no alternative but to respond to Larry's claims on Larry's terms.

Dries really ought to just spill everything at this point, "liability" be damned. The project has already been hurt because the assumption now is that it's run by bigots. If it's actually run by bigots and bigotry was the reason Larry got canned, it's not like admitting that is going to hurt them much worse.

In addition to those who whitelist based on MAC address, some networks also assign "static IPs" via DHCP based on the MAC address.
it does contradict your claim though

> it maintains the status quo

No, it reverses the status quo.

The "status quo" was that the FCC would regulate ISP's sale of consumers' data. There is now a climate for where we were before these rules were passed, ala: a business can be built upon schemes like supercookies without opt-in and other dark patterns
Yes, it is unfortunate. But hey, you gotta deal with what's so.

There is a learning curve, and extra steps in configuring a working environment. But once the host and VMs are configured, uptime is no worse than with typical LANs.

One thing I find quite annoying about f.lux is that it doesn't just have a simple custom schedule setting. Night Shift has that, and it's great.

I live very far north. In the winter the sun is up for just a few hours, and in the summer it's down for just a few. Obviously, I don't want to follow the sun for my sleeping rhythm, and exactly nobody over here does.

Most of the time, I go to bed based on the clock. We use lots of artificial lighting in the winter, and window blinds in the summertime. I'd like to simply configure when I expect to go to bed, and possibly when I expect to wake up. With f.lux, I have to try to find a location on the globe where the sun matches my actual sleeping cycle, and hope that it stays that way (it doesn't).

I did notice that there's a new "far from the equator" setting in the latest version, but I don't understand what it does and how it's supposed to help. Just give me a schedule setting.
Yep, I have a copy of Most Secret War.

The BBC made a documentary loosely based on it in 1977. It is on YouTube [1]. Well worth watching, they don't make documentaries like that anymore. The episode on Enigma has been banned, but the rest are still available.

Not really Google and MS provide their Indian employees working in India above average market rates which are still lower than what the average American gets.

Some other US based companies directly or indirectly pay their Indian employees average or below average Indian IT salary so the best and brightest dont go there.
