I don't understand the criticism. FreeBSD jail is more like chroot than like a container. A container, as I understand it, runs it's own userland. Otherwise, you can't really isolate programs in it. If that postgres was compiled with a libc different from the one on the host system, or let's say required a few libraries that aren't on the host system, for instance, would it run ?

Does it have it's own filesystem that can migrate along with the program ? Does it have it's own IP that can stay the same if it's on another machine ?
There's the actual Federal Register notes regarding the new policies [1]. Here it notes:

> DATES: Effective January 3, 2017, except for §§ 64.2003, 64.2004, 64.2006, and 64.2011(b)

The complete list of sections that are specified in the rule change (last couple of pages):

64.2001 Basis and purpose.
64.2002 Definitions.
64.2003 Notice requirements for telecommunications carriers.
64.2004 Customer approval.
64.2005 Data security.
64.2006 Data breach notification.
64.2010 Business customer exemption for provision of telecommunications services other than BIAS.
64.2011 BIAS offers conditioned on waiver of privacy rights.
64.2012 Effect on State law.

64.2011 is further broken down; section (a) says (effectively) that you can't offer financial incentives for the customer to waive (b).

So it went into effect, but only the parts of it that were basically definitional in nature, and some places specifying where the regulations do not apply. So in a realistic sense, the regulations never went into effect.

Usually would read topics that are of interest to me (i.e. technology, software development, frameworks, etc.).

For the others, I would usually skim through the article and also read the comments.

I am finding that there's a lot of value reading the comments, as some folks have that deep seated knowledge, as well as providing relevant links that will help you further grasp what's on the article.

Well, a project like that is surely a good way to just jump right in and learn it! Kudos for that!
The language around the budget was "emergency" and "in the event of a vote to leave". You are correct the IFS analysis was about post leaving the EU, that was certainly not the spin the remain campaign placed on it.

Saying "no one expected the UK economy to crash the day of" is a little odd - the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee certainly seemed to think they needed to act in the immediate aftermath of the vote with the interest rate cut which is now looking not such a great idea.
It is a money issue - it is cheap and effective but needs clinical trials and potentially cuts recurring revenue from women's birth control options.
Well, what would be the alternative then?
Docker containers on the desktop [feb 2015]
Maybe, but opinion polls got it wrong in the cases of Trump and Brexit.
It seems a lot of people who intend vote on the right (for the want of a better term) are coy about it when asked.
Also, from a closer look at the Federal Register, it does not appear that the regulations went into effect in any meaningful way -- the sections excluded from that effective data are _all_ of the relevant regulations.

Starbuck's Mobile Problem
I would argue that working on reducing the cost of installation is the big gains to be had right now.
Had any other solutions been made available, Brexit probably wouldn't be happening.

The EU chose to not make solutions available and stuck it into a "take it or leave it" basket. It seems to me to be a recurring pattern with over-centralized government that they start using more and more of their power this way; you can see it in the US now too, for instance in the way the Trump administration is continuing to saber rattle about either enforcing immigration laws as they choose or cutting off as much Federal funding as they can from cities and states that refuse to comply with their interpretation. It's a very tempting way to exert power, but it makes the system increasingly fragile as you do it, because you eventually get to the point where people start seriously considering and/or triggering the "leave it" option (see also Calexit, for instance; still not very serious but certainly more serious now than it was a year ago).
The letter is written by one of the two parties involved. There's no guarantee that the other party agrees with anything it says, except for things agreed upon earlier; basically the fact that the UK can ask to leave the EU and that a two-year deadline applies.
>where the UK could not make a law that it wanted to because of "having to wait for Brussels"?

"Having to wait" not as in actually waiting (e.g. as if Brussels would somehow slow down the pace of law-making in the UK) but in the sense UK will have to be handed down to adopt and enforce EU laws. So, wanting to make a law about X, in the sense that UK citizens see it and to their interests? Tough luck, unless it matches the EU law on the subject.

So the answer to your question is, in any and all cases where the UK law doesn't agree with EU laws.

EU laws goes above national laws. This is based on "The primacy of EU law" doctrine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primacy_of_European_Union_law#...

Here's one particular example upon many:

The latest battle is over Brussels’ impending ban on the weedkiller glyphosate, the U.K.’s most widely used pesticide, largely due to political pressure from green groups on the Continent already skeptical of pesticides and certain other new technologies in agriculture. But pulling glyphosate, better known as Roundup, from the market, would be devastating to British farmers who rely on the herbicide to treat weeds.

http://www.politico.eu/article/glyphosate-weedkiller-decisio...

You really did not know that there has been frequent tension between national laws (in the UK and elsewhere) and EU laws in all kinds of aspects (from labor laws to agriculture and shipping), or were you trolling?

(If not from EU or UK I can understand it, because you wouldn't be familiar with the subject matter -- but it's a very common occurence, and a very common theme in the news in EU countries).
Ask HN: How to build a distributed dataset system
In my computer vision startup, we just got to the point where running datasets on a single development machine takes hours. This hampers progress, since one needs to know performance metrics before making changes to the product.

We're looking into how to make this process faster by distributing the workload across many machines.

My question is, given a job (e.g. run a program on a dataset and collect some results), what are some practical frameworks that are out there that one can configure and use with relative ease. Note that none of us is a cloud expert but we are very comfortable with linux.

thanks in advance.
What part of saying privacy/security comes at cost is trolling? It does. Whether you pay money directly or for lost access to features like persistent geolocation, using closed source internet-connect applications, etc, etc.

"Now, the really big question is: can your ISPs see the content of your online interactions? Can it read your emails? Can it read your search results? Can it store and search through the words you typed into a webpage?

And the answer is: yes, sometimes.

If the website you visit is not secured with HTTPS – meaning that any data between you and the website is encrypted – then your ISP can see exactly what you are doing."

But Norway is in the European Economic Area, meaning the (all or nothing) agreement for "the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital within the European Single Market".

if keeping those freedoms are your concern, then you have every right to prefer Norway over England.

One other item: the "enlightenment factor"—I'm really far from enlightenment, but I can see the crazy stuff people are doing in Racket with related, compatible languages, like Typed Racket and have a deep suspicion that Racket might carry me further on the path of enlightenment.

> - Smart VPN bypass for performance-sensitive traffic like streaming video and gaming

It is highly error-prone to maintain (or expect a company to maintain) essentially a large filter list. In the end you'll end up with a product that gives you neither privacy nor performance. For a real world example, try using a smart dns. They suck at dns on its own. And they have to keep up with the cat and mouse of content sellers blocking them. You'll end up with pretty much the same situation with your smart vpn solution. You'll never know reliably what's going over which route (unless you are making the list), debugging will be a nightmare, and you'll have leaks all over.
Unfortunately I am not aware of the modern documentation resources and a quick search shows they're just as scattered as when I was looking them up, possibly more now.

The hard part back then was finding examples generally, but that's also the fun part in that you read all the specs for the machine you can find and let your imagination run wild. Assembly is kind of like that and the machines are small enough that, with enough background knowledge, they can be made to do some pretty interesting things.

Like learning anything, just read the every doc you can find and write code is the best advice to get started :)
"I really don't care what you do..."

Then why comment? One user expresses dislike for SNI and you feel compelled to respond? If you have your own reasons for liking SNI you could have stated them, but you did not.

If I do not like SNI, then why would you care? My reasons are my reasons.

SSL-enabled software has to be "updated" because SSL-enabled software did not support SNI since 2003. It spread more recently. The reasons behind this I leave as an exercise for the reader.

As a user, I have no need for SNI. It is annoying for multiple reasons. Leaking hostnames is among them.

I am still able to use many websites that do not require SNI.
They are no less "secure" by virtue of not enabling it. And the software I use is no less secure for not supporting SNI.
After reading the article, I agree. The shaming is just how they're trying to get Big Pharma to take it up, but you cannot convince someone to reduce their salary willingly.

No, Firefox is successful because it's lineage from Netscape, and then subsequently releasing its browser during a time when the only competition was terrible. If Firefox had started today it would have the same problems as Vivaldi.

Firefox definitely does benefit from community contributions (a lot), but the vast majority of the important code is written by paid employees.
You can roll your own VPN on a cloud provider.

Still not perfect, but I'd argue Azure, AWS, and the like are less likely to try to inspect/monetize traffic than a consumer ISP.
> And of course it took some wars (and a lot of resentment) to bring down the Scottish into the UK's stable for example.

It looks like it's going to take Brexit for Scotland to leave the UK. Politically, Scotland and England have very little in common yet they are handcuffed together by "sheer power of top-down dictum"

After Brexit everyone in Zurich thought that all FinTech startups would move from London to Frankfurt or maybe Zurich, since Switzerland has tight relationships with the EU.

This did not seem to happen.

Also, I haven't gotten more UK people asking me for tech jobs in Zurich compared to before Brexit. (I run a tech recruiting agency; happy to help people who want to move to Switzerland, you finde the recently released job-list here: https://coderfit.catsone.com/careers/ - job-descriptions are still WIP, please bear with us)
In other words, Dubai, Seattle, Sydney, and Rio are approximately the vertices of a regular tetrahedron on the surface of the earth (with the Rio to Sydney edge being a bit longer than the others).

It would be interesting (although entirely useless) to know if there are other quartets of cities like that. It seems like it would be hard enough to find four equidistant points on the surface of the earth that are all on land...
Not really -- rulemaking from the executive branch agencies is supposed to be what takes laws and implements them into concrete policy. The CRA is supposed to allow Congress the ability to void the rules that are perceived as going against the spirit of the law that was passed.

I haven't seen any reporting on a specific law that these rules were tied to, but I have seen references made to laws predating the public internet that mandate privacy on phone calls that.
If you're running that close to the edge, you're in risky territory anyways. A courtcase that you win can still easily kill your business.
Giant python swallows Indonesian farmer whole
Well, that may be how the UK sees it but I can pretty much guarantee that that is not how the rest of the EU will see things. The automatic end to the negotiations and finalization after two years is currently the law, it would probably be best to go on the assumption that that's exactly how it will play out. There is some sense on the UK side that the UK will come out of the negotiations in a better position than what they have right now in the EU, but the European side is adamant that no matter what the UK will not come out of this better than when they were a part of the EU, and this makes good sense (otherwise, why would any nation remain part of the bloc).

Also, the UK has just handed the EU all their strong cards in the negotiations, and if the Scots exit the union that position will get weaker still.

Keep in mind that the exceptional situation the UK has (had?) in the EU was always an annoyance to other member states but was tolerated in order to keep the UK in the EU. If the UK falls apart and Scotland re-joins (or even remains) then the UK negotiation position with respect to those exceptions has evaporated, something that would definitely be appreciated in other EU countries.

Other general elections of referenda will not muddy the waters from an EU perspective, the deed is done, any regret will now take the form of a re-application, which will likely include the UK giving up their own currency, becoming a part of the Schengen area and getting rid of all the exceptions that were made for the UK.

This was a dumb move if there ever was one, such major decisions should require a supermajority, not a simple majority and May did a huge dis-service to the UK just now. But by the time the chickens come home to roost she'll be enjoying her pension sitting under banner reading 'I gave the people of England what they asked for, not what they needed'.

What I want is a way to tie my own VPN to something like my Apple id and have it auto configured anytime I move to a different device. Right maintaining VPN clients on a range of devices is a pretty big hassle. I'm not saying I want Apple to run vpn services, I just want an easy way to manage vpn configurations on personal devices.
They'll only let us back in the club if they choose to from now on [1].

Basically, they've left the door open for us to vote in a pro-EU party in the next general election and abandon the whole thing. That's why they won't agree a trade deal in the next 2 years.

They're hoping, like me, that things will get sufficiently bad in the next 2 years the public gives a mandate to a pro-EU party, and the whole sorry mess can be averted, and then we can try Johnson, Farage and the other scumbag liars for treason.

Show HN: Magic Button Tapdo on Product Hunt
The UK could be officially outside of the EU but to the banks, universities and import-export companies EU cooperation is as much of a reality as ever.

That's the wishful thinking so much projected by the brexiteers. And I believe they're very wrong.

While London may remain a financial hub it will lose its importance. Multinational banks and insurances are alredy preparing to move entire departments to the continent. Especially France is extremely hard nosed in not providing the UK financial industry with passporting rights.

Frankfurt and Luxembourg are also yapping happily about the prospects of new jobs and businesses. And London is about to lose the privilege to clear deals in Euros.

Import / export has a lot to lose too. managing supply chains, without manufacturing just can't function in times of lean production and just-in-time manufacturing, gets incredibly harder and more expensive.

Universities? If you believe that they will just shrug it off I'm afraid you're in for a huge surprise. English universities will lose EU research grants. But the worst is that they will lose on foreign talent. Real talented scientists will think hard if they want to move to England in the current xenophobic climate and seek out alternatives.

The only bargaining chip that England really has is the defense industry and a pretty strong, experienced army, which helps provide security for Europe. Else then that? Not much.

And BTW: Comparing the situation between the EU and England with that in Korea is, well, grasping for straws? in any case it's a really bad, if not ludicrous argument.

Despite the defiance showed by some English politicians and the tabloid press I think that in reality England is in for a world of self-inflicted hurt. And mostly those people that enthusiastically voted to leave.
It doesn't even make sense. Women have the possibility to abort a pregnancy while men have no say whatsoever (in regions where the big pharma companies are coming from). So the argument that women would do more for male birth control is somewhat strange considering they have all the power in their hands right now.

Did you ever have a desktop app? In the early 2000's I used a program I thought was called Sawtooth, or maybe it was just SAW, 'saw' was in the name, but I can't for the life of me find it anywhere. You could draw a wave form with the mouse, name it, piano roll it, sequence it into a song and export as a wave and that was about it. I know that sounds like ever DAW on the planet but it didn't have any advanced features and I think drawing the wave form was unique to it at the time.

I think that one major reason this did not happen so far is because the rest of the EU was hoping the UK would come to their senses and cancel their brexit ambition. Now that it is a fait accompli you can expect all these things to actually happen. Frankfurt has good chances, Amsterdam and Paris a bit less so, Switzerland does not have any better position than London so I fail to see why that would happen if there would be a reason to move. Whoever wants to be represented in Zurich is already there.
