I'm the co-founder of a startup that has developed a tool for this called Userify[1].

It creates and removes local accounts and manages the ssh keys and sudo permissions centrally, so you don't have to worry about not being able to get in if your LDAP/AD is down. (Our Enterprise edition, self-hosted in your VPC or in your DC, can optionally integrate with LDAP or AD for dashboard logins, MFA, etc.) We also have an AWS server edition in the AWS marketplace. When you remove someone in the dashboard, their account is removed across all of the servers they have access to, and their sessions are terminated, but their home directory is retained for archival or forensics.

Our primary foci are paranoid levels of security (hardened, all data encrypted at rest with X25519, in motion with TLS), flexibility, and speed: fast to deploy or integrate (w/ ansible, chef, puppet, terraform, cloudformation), and fast to install (milliseconds), with both SaaS/Cloud and self-hosted versions and open source python agent (we call it the 'shim').

We were founded in 2011 and serve thousands of servers and users in real time; I'm first.last at userify for any questions, and/or info at userify.

Being a former certified car sales guy who changed to IT out of passion, I am currently in the process of buying two cars for business and family. I am horrified by the current state of car sales. Cars are presented dirty, salespeople show absolutely no interest in even talking to us while staying around their dealership for a long time looking at specific cars.

Best was this Monday, when I called one dealer and told: I want to buy a (specific) new car. Now. No haggling, I just sign. Had to call them 3 more times, every time I got a new excuse why no salesman is available to me. "Please wait another hour, then he is out of the meeting"... so I just called another more expensive dealer after 8 hours, told them the same thing. The salesman sent me the contract in a second. But as I mailed the signed contract back after business hours, I did not hear anything from it the next day. Called the dealership after waiting half of the next day to hear "Salesman out of office today". I said: no problem, I just resend the contract to another person. "You can do this, but the salesguy needs to get permission from the boss to sell you the car". At the end of the day, they somehow managed to send me the invoice for the car.... but everything took many phonecalls.
Well, I don't think the part of the company working on the current Uber (ride hailing service) should be affected as they literally have nothing to do with the self-driving team or the managerial decisions made in regards to that.

Uber has definitely provided quite a lot of people with a source of income and a cheaper/better alternative for those communting without their own vehicles.

Public transportation is still shitty in many cities across the US. We can't neglect the positive impact Uber has had on the market. It was a game changer which led to it being funded as much as it has been.
These quantum computing things are tough to understand. Does anyone have a simple explanation?
> The rationale is that cultural products are "special" and that if they're not protected, they'll vanish and be replaced by American ones that are inferior by nature.

In fairness to France, other countries have similar laws too. Australia requires TV stations to broadcast 55% Australian-produced TV shows & films during primetime (6pm - midnight). Even 80% of the TV commercials have to be Australian-produced too. But instead of funding lots of culturally significant TV shows, we tend to get repeated news bulletins, low-cost Australian game shows, current affairs shows & soap operas. [Although Neighbours probably counts as culturally significant to Australia.]

I have a feeling that as soon as the case against Uber is done, Google is going to go after Lewandowski...try to teach him a lesson and send a message to other Googlers thinking about doing the same.

For strategic reasons they might have chosen to go after Uber first
I work in Australia from time to time on a project. It is superior in every way to the United States for my use cases except for Internet, which keeps me on the West Coast of the US. It's that bad. I'd love nothing more than to move there, but not if the Internet is that terrible.
then why not use python? Installing another shell just for running another script seems wrong unless it is only for you personally and you are ok with this.
I understand the pedigree of these cards, but at what point do we stop calling them GPUs and start calling them something else? MPU? TPU? I don't know, but isn't it a little bit weird to keep using the word "graphics" for something that is being made more and more specifically for other things?
So you could spend three times as much money and design completely different products for each platform, or you could have one codebase with a limited number of special cases for the different platforms and invest the saved money into making a better product...
Still looks very clunky and nowhere near the elegance and efficiency of true FP.
It's not about being available on the internet, it's about being available on the AppStore or Google Play Market which make you comply with French laws.

Just read developer FAQ for the store you want, there is a requirement of "Declaration approval from French ANSSI authorities." which links to http://www.ssi.gouv.fr/en/regulation/cryptology/

"...

However supplying, importing and exporting cryptology means in and from France are regulated activities. These operations are either subject to a declaration or an authorisation process.

ANSSI records declarations and investigates requests for the authorization of cryptology equipment and services in accordance with French and European Community legislation."

So you have to send them ANSSI declaration and get an approval to submit an app to the store.

If you are distributing something through the website which is available everywhere then you can ignore that since there is no entity which would control that you follow French law, but it just a technical details. The law is the same for everyone I believe.

Regarding Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, etc.: I believe they have sent all the documents and got the permission/registration in all regions they are available in and which require that.
It's about remote aboriginal communities that have problems like this, not aborigines as a whole. Note that the cop is also an aborignal he's probably the type that is fed up with dealing with this shit.

I'd say the people that think it's racist are the racist ones, all they see is the skin color. They'd think it was a funny joke (or at least be indifferent) about rednecks of the characters were white, but lost their shit when the person is black.

For context, the two biggest issues are alcoholism and especially remoteness. Imagine a poor black community in the US just after segregation ended and then imagine that they were 300Km from the nearest corner store (or maybe this is a problem in the US?). Our welfare system could probably eliminate a lot of the problems in a generation or two in cities but it doesn't make much difference in remote communities.
Doesn't Emacs itself have calendaring options? If you're already using it and like it for its scriptability, maybe you're a classic candidate to bloat up your Emacs a bit.

Why is that relevant? The person stated that they expected autonomous vehicles to take 20-50 years to have no steering wheels. My point is, such vehicles already drive on the roads in some places. The limits are already often more regulatory than technological.

WANT BOTH OFFLINE AND ONLINE EXPERIENCE? HERE IT IS!
What do you usually hear? Online shopping or offline shopping? Lets update it! Lets make it Online and Offline shopping . Having both features enrich shopping experience and that's exactly my mission is . Have you heard about Home delivery ? Of course you had. But have you heard of Home trial ? Probably no! I am gonna introduce this. According to THINK WITH GOOGLE and HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW survey's What physical stores lack is online features such as variety , ratings , reviews , home delivery , filters AND what online stores lack is option of need to touch and buy it after . Now i am going to solve it , what i will do is i will show each and every product present in city's physical stores by which customers can have variety , filters , reviews , ratings , home delivery ULTIMATELY what i mean is taking physical stores online which will provide every online feature . Customers can even have home trials of clothes . This provides whole online and offline experience with all features and additional like Home trials which is insanely cool. This release customer to make hard choices between online ad offline shopping. Customers don't have to make choices , they just get everything which is my job - Enriching shopping experience. Now let me tell you about progress made , I was recently selected for Asia's best incubator - CIIE as stated by Wikipedia . I also conducted survey as my primary source of product-market fit , i surveyed 250 different aged peoples with different lifestyles , and result was quite good as 228 said they will obviously use this and 22 said maybe. I completed my idea validation , product-market fit and will complete revenue model in some days. I am also a android programmer with quite good sense of design and now working on prototype. I haven't got a team and this is main challenge i am facing right now . I lack experience so this is also a challenge for me to find a experienced guy who will work with me .
I don't see the point of adding to the confusion. They've been called GPUs for ever, everybody agrees on the term, why not continue to use it?
The big question is, what do you do in a big virtual world?
There's a "build it and they will come" assumption here. There's Second Life, which peaked years ago. There's "There". There's High Fidelity, which is a higher-resolution Second Life with few users. Most of those can be used with a VR headset. But nobody cares.

It's not a technology problem. The current technology is marginally adequate. It's lack of market interest.
This exactly. Somatic variants are one of the most common things around.

I always wonder why HN will almost never upvote a general informatics research article instead of a good review and with other fields of research it is the other way around where a review would be much better suited.
I wouldn't at all be surprised if we learn that Uber had written software to detect which users use Lyft and then systematically underestimate the times to pick up for those users.
Keybase desktop apps are not distributed through AppStore or Google Play Market, so there is no one to make them follow French law at that point. While stores should comply and make developers follow all the procedures.
Looks like Uber isn't hurting for lawyers. After a few tens of millions, spending 10x more doesn't get 10x more chances in court or better arguments.

Uber might even be able to pay them with stock...
Would she have repealed the "Patriot" act? That was the point of GPs comment, that the Patriot act was the reason for a trend that has been consistently increasing since 2001 and the war on terror.
I think he printed an undersized hole, drilled it to the right diameter and then used a tap to thread it.
Psychology 101:

People sign up for just a month. Don't cancel immediately after watching the movie they want, because they want to use the paid month in full. After two/three weeks the brain phases out the expiration date and the subscription renews.

"But reminders!" the reader would complain so let me preempt that: not many person actually set reminders for this kind of stuff - part because 'it's only a month' part because not everyone is as phone dependent as techhies and mbas types. For internet and social? Sure. For reminding every little detail in life? Hardly. Especially since outside apple setting a reminder is still a subpar experience.
Yes, I work for a very large Bay Area company and make $170k total comp as a 100% remote employee. I however live in a somewhat expensive COL city with other tech jobs, so that helped in negotiations.

The content-vs-time density for this video is extremely high and it was a pleasure to watch all of the video. I print in PLA rather than ABS right now so the video isn't directly applicable to my life but it's nice to see somebody working on the designs. Cheers to the author!
AFAIR they had a kind of profile-based optimization. It was amazing.
Someone I know worked for a tech company in the valley back in the eighties that made high end medical equipment. They caught an American and Japanese company trying to reverse engineer one of their products. End result was both companies were bared from that market for something like 15 years.
> Do they have huge profits because of not having enough competition, or because they don't they have to return profits to the investors?

The second alternative doesn't make sense. You can't say a company has lots of profits because they don't return it to investors.

Earnings (profits) is basically Revenue - Expenses. Whether the company chooses to retain earnings to reinvest in itself, or to return profits to investors (by paying a dividend or repurchasing stock) doesn't change the value of earnings.

In any case Softbank does pay dividends to its investors.

Japan's telecom used to be rather non-competitive, with 3 major carriers dominating the market, mandating locked phones and very likely colluding on pricing and fees. But since we got guaranteed number portability and MVNOs things have been better (I've just switched from Softbank to a MVNO, going from paying $70 monthly to about $25).

Softbank's earnings come not only from domestic telecom but also from its stakes in Yahoo Japan (search/advertising, auctions, loyalty points etc) and Alibaba.

Big app stores like AppStore or Google Play Market make you comply with the law every time you submit an app with cryptography inside.
I like the term "GPGPU" (General-Purpose Graphics Processing Unit) as it's at least explicit about its general-usefulness.
For anyone wondering, that project is called LZSSE-SIMDe and is available here (https://github.com/nemequ/LZSSE-SIMDe).
I gotta say, it's possible he never actually used it in my lifetime, but he could sure tell that story and rattle off the digits at a moment's prompting.
Just from reading the headline, my initial thought was "But Netflix also does DVDs, so they'll probably be fine?" But it turns out that the headline isn't a fully accurate representation of the article's message.

> From now on, if you want to compete at Cannes, your movie had better be released in French movie theaters

That's quite a bit more specific.

The dashboard is still very slow.

But all in all, the technical offering is pretty good and easy to be productive in.
The paper key process after the initial login is broken.

Because I didn't have an actual piece of paper with me when I tried the app (and writing down things like that on paper is a weird idea anyway) I opened 1Password to create a secure note there. Unfortunately, when I returned to Keybase the app had already silently moved on to the next screen without me having confirmed anything.

I'm not sure what this paper key will be needed for in the future but I hope it's nothing important.
16fp is faster, and the increased precision is not needed in most cases

You are indeed correct. I wish someone would do a full test on how secure the readers are.
Venture capitalists make silly investments all of the time.

Countless times its been proven that connections + chrasmatic founder means investers will invest in silly things.

Something seriously good + no connections and no charisma means your going to have a bad time.

As an outsider, sounds like he defended free speech, not racism.

So yes, the extra content makes a huge difference.
Fair enough; my point about the visibility of small foreign films in theaters vs on Netflix still stands though.
I was just thinking how cool would it be to have a module in python to really ease generating bash style scripts, with less overhead than normal `subprocess` methods have... And there was it just a Google search away: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sh/1.12.13

Sadly, "Patent trolling" is to law as to what "creating an unicorn startup" is to tech. High risk, everyone dislikes it but the payout is great if it works.

In case anyone else is in this boat, the Moto Z is a pretty good third option. Not quite as pricey as the Pixel, (and the camera's not as amazing), but it's very close to stock Android.
Thank you for your answer.

That's okay, for now, I run a simple StatefulSet where each pod checks whether the Service is reachable on port 26257 to determine if it should join or init the cluster.

It's not as nice as if it was handled by Cockroach itself, but it does the job.
Also availaible on Mac. The join command conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
Venture investor Chris Schroeder talks about tech in the Middle East
No worries :) the drone basically generates a big dataset of "crashing" and "not crashing" video clips from the camera. It then feeds all that into a convolutional neural net, which can (after training is complete) give control decisions based on the camera which avoid obstacles. This is very "black box" in the sense that it's hard to say exactly how the system is working.

The car, on the other hand, uses hand written algorithms to forward simulate various controls. Based on the forward simulations, it can pick controls which are predicted to give good results. Forward simulation relies on a model of how the car reacts to any possible control. However, this model is complicated because of the nonlinear dynamics going on (inertia, wheel slip, etc). Therefore, they use ml techniques to identify the model.
You realize that you are implying that any negative cartoon with a black person in it is automatically racism.

That's why flukus said "it's your own bias that makes you think it is". If you weren't biased you would just see people being criticized.

Look at him screwing on the end bell of the motor at 222 seconds in. [1] That's a big diameter thread, and the close-ups of it show a very clean thread. You can see the marks of the 3D printing layers on the outer motor casing, but not on the thread. I suspect that thread was turned on a lathe.

Do you have any links for the last paragraph? I know that there can be two gene encoded in reverse in bacteria but have no knowledge of any frame-shifted translations?

About the second paragraph: well, it was not really thought that differences are always detrimental to health, and there is quite a number of variant prioritization tools out there that try to find those variants that are causal compared to all the silent/no-effect mutations (mostly for comparing humans but also somatic).

But going to a "proper cinema" is a lot less enjoyable than using your own 4k screen with good audio, comfy seating, homemade snacks, no other audience, choice of language and subtitles and the possibility to pause it if needed. Let's not forget the choice of the exact time you watch it and you don't have to get dressed too.
I actually did hit a cow on the road with my car, once, on a moonless night in the middle of Nevada, ninety miles from nowhere. I lived, my passenger fractured a rib, the jeep recovered, and the cow died; but in the sixteen years since, I can't say it had ever occurred to me that any person other than myself might have any liability for the damage.
I second Toggl. It's simple and gets out of the way. The desktop app even reminds you to track your time if you are actively using the computer for a while but forget to hit the start button.

I charge a weekly rate (for a variety of reasons that I should probably write down as a blog post), so the data is more for my consumption than for my clients'. Still, knowing how many hours of productivity you can sustainably manage per day is valuable for setting your rates and coming up with estimates.
That's Part A. Part B is going after his money. I'd go to jail for hundreds of millions, which he has /had.
I wish that bands would just film every concert they do and then offer all the concerts for (paid) download. This way a lot less people would actually try to film the concert because they now can get a much better quality.
I don't think it's a bad thing to release movies outside streaming services. I think it's a bad thing to release in different periods in the world.

Ps. Yes, I'm protecting theatres ( also small ones) on that. Yes, I have Netflix. No, it shouldn't last 4 months or more after being shown in theatres to stream them, perhaps 2 months at maximum
yes, subprocess is a pain in the a. Thanks for the recommendation!
