I went to Stonington last fall with my family. It's a beautiful and interesting place. We were fortunate to rent from a lifelong local and tour with a retired oil industry scientist and learned about a lot of this while there.

The locals are very proud of the lobster industry and efforts to regulate it pragmatically but also humble and understanding that it could disappear quickly if the overall ecology changes and especially if the water temperature sweet spot continues moving north.

There is concern for the economic prospects of those who leave school early or skip college to take fishing jobs young and may not be prepared for much else if the fishing goes away.

I thought they said many lobster boat captains made more like double the article's stated $45k; of course, that's only for the owner/operator. It's no desk job, for sure: those guys are out on the water before sunrise every day (except during thunderstorms) and it is cold out there. They do wrap up pretty early in the afternoon.
Ken Thompson was brought on because he was Ken Thompson, and if you had the means, then not hiring him would be a strange thing to do. The amusing thing about that is that he never jumped through the new hire hoops (a language exam, or something) and therefore could not commit his own code.

Even forcing people to turn on devices doesn't really fix it. Just keep three (for proper voltage so you don't have to add any boost circuitry) of the cells in your battery bomb and it'll be more than enough to pass their screening.

Well, unless they went over the wall while trying to leave.

The GDR has been synonymous with "police state" for my entire life, although it's not the place that coined the phrase. The US has colonial policing and people who believe that slavery should not have been abolished.
Auto1 Group, a used-car marketplace serving Europe, is now worth $2.8B
Here in euuerope at least it's quite strictly 40h/week. If you do more hours you can often "redeem" them later or at least get payed for them.
In OAuth, you have basically two tokens: One for the "software"/"third party service provider", one for the account itself.

So for example, if you want to use SomeMagicTweetTool to send tweets, they use their token to prove it's them, and you grant them a special token for your account.

Someone who has their token can pretend to be them, use their quota if there is per-software/per-provider quota, but cannot access your account unless you gave them a token for your account.
Considering his recent advisory work related to Scala, there's a good chance he'll lead an effort to build new services in Scala. A guy like James is clearly passionate about language design, so I be he'll help shape the future of Scala as well, using input from his AWS experience.
We are exactly 8 in office and it is pretty awesome. Meetings are in room directly, but they are not often (once in two weeks maybe) and sometimes it is even good to listen as I am learning that way. I can tune it with normal headphones only anyway.

There is a bit of social chat also, but whenever someone complains, it is immediately stopped - local culture is that way. I find it better then own office, because I would end up isolated there and it is not happening here.

Most of the day there is a silence.

This comment is often made without providing any detail. Can you provide some numbers, with references, for more discussion?
You make a good point. I meant inductive in the sense that the author of this article really is operating like an intelligence analyst, working from available but limited information and drawing conclusions like `the white cables are probably for management' (judging from the number of them and the type of connectors seen on the ends). It's a statement of probability, based on what we can see, what we know from experience ought to be present, and what else we don't see. More interesting is the author's prediction that maps Xeon cores 1:1 with TPU chips (again, by counting boards in the CPU racks on the ends); that one is a combination of inductive and deductive logic.

The article is a great piece of analysis.
Interestingly, AMD is claiming that their upcoming Vega Frontier Editions chips outperform Nvidia's current P100 Deep Learning chip.

Creating a delivery schedule with React.js and Moment.js (30 min screencast)
I got that. My point is that merely using this is insufficient to make your DB go fast on NVM. As the presentation says, you need to consider changing the on-disk^W^W^Wpersistent storage format to be one that writes less (not so much because of write cycle limits, but because writes are slower, and to reduce the number of additional writes needed in, say, a COW format.

How's Go with web applications that render HTML content? I've had a lot of fun building microservices with JSON REST APIs in Go lately, but I have not done anything that emits HTML. I'm afraid that as soon as you generate HTML, stuff gets messy and you need to include bajillion modules with all this CSS/JS crap.

Probably a lot; open-ended voice recognition with no prior training is hard (though I'm not convinced it can't be made to work off-line now that the models are there). Still, a lot of devices don't need open-ended voice recognition (structured grammars greatly simplify the problem), and if you allow for users having to pre-train their devices for few minutes, off-line processing becomes easier.

My impression is that the main driver behind cloud-first voice processing is business, not technology.
Yes, I know :)
Any of the above would work.

I prefer Flask of the three because I don't like a lot of built in extras, but prefer a larger plugin ecosystem than Bottle has. But Django isn't a bad choice either and maybe a better choice for organization.

I'm not aware of good data either way so it seems something that would be sensible to try at least for some time to collect data on it. You need something to get the workers able to do other jobs because protecting all the current jobs is unreasonable.
If you're starting a company today, would you use Gitlab over it's competitors (Atlassian, GitHub)?

And keep in mind, I'm not talking about specifically using GitLab for "git". I mean, what technology stack would you use for:

- Issue tracking

- VCS

- Developer Chat

- CI/CD

- Project Boards / Project Management

I actually just asked this question today [1] but didn't get much of a response.

I know Atlassian is not properly but for a fully stack software development experience, it seems like my only true options are either GitLab or Atlassian (not GitHub).

I suppose that would depend on how well the guy knows about digital editing of video.

Ask HN: Is it now common to ask for “full” applications as part of interviewing?
Three companies (out of ten or so) I've interviewed with recently have all asked for something similar to the following:

- code

- integration with a third-party API

- installation of a number of third-party libraries (and the reading of their documentation)

- complete documentation for the code

- a test suite

- deployment instructions

The companies in question vary in their industry, tech stack, and focus.

Most of the time, take home coding challenges consist of a fairly well-understood problem and are basically souped up versions of fizzbuzz to gauge a) basic ability and b) abstraction/organizational skills c) style

Is this more common now? The interview process has become more stringent over the past 10-15 years in my experience, but this is the first time I'm being asked for things this complete and specific.

(As an aside: are we finally near the point where companies should consider paying developers to interview if they're going to be asked to spend the day coding, writing tests, and writing documentation? I.e., do free work)

Amazon Suspended My Account Due to Releated Account
I'm sure there's many other similar post to this one. But, I wanted to share this and solicit any inputs on this problem.
We've been selling on Amazon for over 2+ years now with no problem. On May 9th, we received a suspicious Phishing E-mail from Amazon.ca asking us to update our Amazon Bank Account Info so they can deposit funds, we get lots of e-mails from Amazon and we made the mistake of following the e-mail link and got our login info compromised and hacked.
The following day, our Amazon Seller account was suspended due to a Related Account. We Appealed and received an automated Rejection Response that the account is suspended indefinitely and do not contact Seller Performance further on this matter.
After repeated calls to Seller Support explaining the situation, Seller Support "Supposively" forward the case to the special "Phishing/Hacker department" for further investigation. 8 days later, the case disappeared and no action response was received. We called again and open another same case and still awaiting for response.
We made a mistake of responding to the phishing e-mail and have learned our lessons on this, but we are the victim of hackers/scammers, and as honest Amazon Seller with GREAT feedbacks, this is not right or fair. We're willing to correct any mistakes we have made if any, but not knowing any details as to what had happened doesn't help. We're currrently suspended still and lots of merchandise on FBA stranded.

Thanks for any inputs on this.

Google Explains the Delays in Bringing Android to Chromebook
Absolutely. It's a NY/LA/SF media-socialite elite echo chamber. The rest of the country is screaming for these people to get some perspective, but they frankly have no incentive to do so. Publishers know dishwashers don't surf Twitter so there's no money in pandering to them. Writers know arriving early to the anti-first-world-victim party will only earn them ostracization.
This account has made countless violations of the HN guidelines. Since you haven't kept your promise to follow the rules of the site, we've rebanned it.
It would perhaps be more accurate to say "Health news stories about medical studies are almost always bogus". There are several steps between those two things, and university PR departments, funding agencies, researchers, reporters of highly variable technical background, editors, and publishers all have incentives to twist the message at each step along the way.
The packaging is definitely a great thing... given how much is just drop shipped these days, I hope more companies move away from the sealed clamshell blister packs.
If i make web app and want my application to be "portable" i will go with PHP and Laravel framework.

Depending on your application. If you want to offer to users an installable copy, PHP is the most easy way to do it if you care about "portability" on existing user machines.

However if you make SAAS and not care about "portability", then you are free choose other languages and frameworks
> Many people on HN forget that there are many non-technical people in the world and that they don't have a data server with raid drives in their house running OwnCloud/Flex for all of their backup needs. Hence why they use the cloud and that shouldn't be appalling.

Right...but they've probably got a laptop and a USB flash drive. That's all you need to keep your own copy around. I don't maintain an always-on server, OwnCloud, etc...but I certainly have multiple copies of everything, such that if Google, Facebook, and other services disappeared, I wouldn't lose any very-important data. Doing it with less automation takes a little more manual work, but that's the way I'm doing it right now myself, and I don't think it's unreasonable.

Even taking the option of cloud-only storage, set your phone to strip EXIF and upload to multiple unrelated accounts, preferably not connected to a social network.

> And PLEASE don't tell me if your bank was all of a sudden taken to a negative balance you wouldn't be sad, mad, angry, etc.

Why would I tell you that? Money isn't a copyable asset, and I keep mine spread among multiple federally-insured banks that operate under different business models. It's the same idea: Don't put all your eggs in one basket, no matter how attractive that basket is.

> The point is, many people don't like Facebook, Microsoft, etc. and they press that opinion on others in a manner I don't always appreciate.

There are a lot of things that people do that I think are stupid...but they don't need to know that. I don't express most of my opinions (including these) without some form of invitation to do so. Facebook's currently a somewhat-necessary evil. It's a company that offers a service that I used to like, until around 2008. I thought it was at its height of charm when it was still a college-only service, and has become steadily less likable since that changed. It would be inconvenient if it disappeared, but I think it would ultimately be a good thing.

I think signs are pointing to Vega being a HPC beast. But what they really need is the software ecosystem and support, and so far that hasn't been there. So while the new hardware looks cool, I'm really waiting for an announcement that OpenCL tooling got a lot better, or that CUDA is getting first-party support from AMD, anything to tempt those customers away from nvidia.
Leaving aside all the reasons why this policy is super dumb (which I'm sure others will cover quite adequately), I guess your IT department can't figure out how to create their own CA certificate and do SSL interception?
My experience building Cronitor is that it's very hard at "small business" scale to make money selling subscriptions for $10 a month.

We cover this in our indie hackers interview, but we not only saw faster revenue growth after a ~3x price increase but also lower churn and fewer requests for discounts.
MST is a whole separate disaster. That cable advertises support for it at least. On the Windows side, I've had DP to DP cables not work even though they were supposed to. I only have the single DP to miniDP (and my 2011 Air couldn't drive it with MST anyway), but I assume it was a similar boat there. Maybe things are better by now.

Guess I'll snag a cable and try my luck. Looks like they're generally around $15-20 right now, which isn't too bad.

I explicitly try to ensure that for my sites the first 10kB sent (so less than 10 packets typically) is enough to render all the information above the fold. Anything essential should make it out in the first 2 packets for old TCP slow-start rules. (Lipstick and ads can arrive later, once the user is happy reading or whatever, IMHO.) Has been my policy since about the mid '90s!
First:
Yes, i misspoke, because i forgot this was TC heartland, which was the venue case. My brain appears to have melted this morning. Oh well.

Second:

Personal jurisdiction is also waivable
Subject matter jurisdiction is not.
In any case, the number i gave is actually the number where venue arguments have not been waived.
There are about 400 where they have probably waived the venue argument, but have no real jurisdiction argument.

Third, yes, the statute in question is the patent venue statute.
However, you can't disconnect it that easily from personal jurisdiction, since the entire case was about the meaning of "“shall be deemed to reside, if a defendant, in any
judicial district in which such defendant is subject to the
court’s personal jurisdiction with respect to the civil action
in question"

It just turns out they already decided the jurisdiction part of that in previous holdings, and decided this venue statute did not really modify the general venue statute, which did not modify the definition of personal jurisdiction they decided before that, ..

As for the transfers/dismissals, that part is also correct.
See https://patentlyo.com/lawjournal/2017/03/imminent-outpouring...

So yes, less fundamental, but in these cases, venue and jurisdiction will now mostly be the same again (IE minimum contacts, etc)

>That the right to make a living comes before the right to make a killing. That fairness for the many is more important than maximizing for the few.

OK, but that's not really a full accounting of the tradeoff being made. Preventing "outside" or "non-local" fishing does have the advantage of privileging local stakeholders over remote capitalists - but it also privileges local stakeholders over remote _customers_. If economies of scale allow a commercial fishing operation to cut final prices by 10%, then on the margin you're going to see about 10% more lobsters being sold, which means that 10% more people get to eat lobster than would be able to do so under this regime.

And maybe that's fine! I'm not saying we shouldn't make this tradeoff. But consumer surplus is generally ignored in this kind of calculation, as if the value of the lobsters were a zero-sum game in which we split things up between Small Local Good Guys and Rapaciously Greedy Outside Capitalists, and that doesn't tell the whole story.

Yes, there are ways to sue the courts themselves, but not for something like this. The suit would generally be in the form of what's called a Writ of Mandate. It's basically a lawsuit for when you have no other legal recourse for something. For example, if you went to a courthouse and asked for a copy of a statutorily public document but they refused to give it to you, you could file a such a writ. It would force the court to at least give you a hearing before a judge, who you'd ask to compel the court personnel to give you what you asked for.
