The phone circuit in the analog days was physical. It doesn't matter that it was open, the relays between one and and another were all connected and could be inspected.

It's analogous to finding the hardware corresponding to someone's network address by being able to inspect the routing tables of all the intervening routers. Even if they turn their computer off, you can still trace them back to the physical line.

Not necessarily causality, but I'd say there's at least a correlation, and a good enough reason to make office life as bearable as possible.
A lot of people don't like regulation on general principal, but it's important. We need laws to stop people just taking stuff from stores and we need laws to stop companies destroying rivers or putting employees at risk.

One driver for globalisation has been to evade regulation, whether that is the globalisation of money with tax havens or hands off supplier networks that don't follow even local labour law in pursuit of higher margins.

Governments have not figured out how to deal whith this. Regulation could drive automation so that long working hours in dangerous conditions were not necessary. Or incentivise products that made in ways that don't damage the environment (see German vs Chinese solar panel manufacture).

But they don't. As long as African children are cheaper than robots and no one is saying no, we don't get no robots.

What could help with this? Possibly international systems like TPP, possibly better informed consumers. Ultimatum I dont think either of these are enough abs don't know what is..
No doubt Google considers it a best practice, because they are in the business of knowing what people do on the internet. How often will a browser get the jquery for a particular website or check with the CDN? There are a lot of jquery versions in use, the cache gets deleted (often on browser close) or expires, cache-age=0, etc. Almost always?

Besides providing jquery themselves, websites can use a CDN from another provider. OK, that might cost an extra 20 ms.
I'm encouraged to think that maybe they're trying to fight the common stereotype, which if true, I applaud wholeheartedly.

While the parent made a partially correct comparison, this whole thread is turning into a giant contest on highlighting where it doesn't work and then trying logic fallacies of all sorts. What's wrong with you, people?

Surely, not every argument. I don't think arguments like "legally owned guns are frequently stolen and used by criminals" works for strong cryptography. However, things like "more ____ control laws would reduce deaths", "high-____ should be banned because they too often ____", "____ are rarely used in self-defense" or "a majority of adults, including ____, support common sense ____ control" can be tried. I just took those from the first search result for "gun control", picking few that I was able to adapt without rephrasing too much.

Heck, I can see even how "more ____ control leads to fewer suicides" can be pulled. In glorious Russia we already have this train of thought running at full-speed, just with "Internet censorship" instead of "strong cryptography".

So while parent comment is obviously biased, it has some valid point. Not sure if its validity means anything useful, though.

Note, I explicitly don't evaluate any claims validity here, and must remind that even if "A does X" is true, and even though "A is similar to B in some respects", that doesn't mean that "B does X" is true.

Ravens are creepily intelligent and self confident. Several years ago, while doing yard work, I noticed a large raven land on the roof of my truck. I was concerned it would scratch the roof and attempted to shoo it away by waving a large broom overhead while walking toward the truck. To my surprise, the raven did not fly away as anticipated. As I got closer, my pace slowed and my concern grew - why was this bird not afraid of me? Once I got right next to the truck, I gently pushed the broom against the raven. Instead of finally flying off, the raven leaned into the broom with the same amount of force I was using. This went on for maybe 30 seconds until I realized who won here and returned to my yard work while the raven remained happily perched on the roof of my truck.
This article is a great example of "unless it's reported by the media, it doesn't exist."

It would mean outlawing any software implementing asymmetric encryption; it would essentially mean making a specific application of maths illegal. Because this would also imply outlawing TLS as we know it, a lot of resistance can be expected from citizens and (parts of) governments and corporations alike.

That doesn't rule out such silliness from happening, but it will be a tough fight, so for now they'll probably stick to going after the silos (e.g., WhatsApp) and simply get them to substitute true end-to-end encryption for some backdoored solution — it's easier and more effective now.

No, they're making the point that anxiety is both sociological as well as biological, and that the sociological dimensions of anxiety have worsened. I'm not sure I agree either, but is that so hard to gleam from TFA?

What I meant by "No framework" was that there is no "Framework API" to implement. Cell itself is a framework, so I agree that frameworks are for greater good.

As for your question on how it scales, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't scale. In fact I think this approach is more scalable than any existing centralized approaches to building web apps because you can create complexity out of simplicity.

p.s. The "No framework" part is just one of the benefits that arise as a side effect of Cell's decentralized architecture. I did my best to explain why I built this on the homepage. I know it's long but I hope you take a look at it once more, it's worth a read even if you don't use the framework because Cell does bring something new to the table. Hope this makes sense!
A first note, this is not like-for-like. Dokku, Flynn and Deis fit the PaaS spot more meaningfully. Kubernetes and Swarm are sometimes called "Container as a Service" -- you still need a bunch of work to select, install and configure features that PaaS users take for granted.

Missing from the list: Cloud Foundry. And OpenShift! Give Red Hat some respect here for making Kubernetes into a platform. And DCOS, which I think got its thunder stolen by Kubernetes.

But I mostly know Cloud Foundry, because it's my day job to keep making it better.

It's the most mature out of all of these, has been soak tested to 250,000 running applications[0], can be deployed to any major IaaS or bare metal, comes with routing, logging, service injection, healing, no-downtime upgrading and I forget what other headlines I usually pick out of the several hundred features it now includes.

The Cloud Foundry Foundation includes Pivotal (my employer), IBM, SAP, Google, DellEMC, VMWare, Cisco, Suse and those are just the fancy tech names.

The reason you don't hear about it is that we and our partners have focused on competing for enterprise sales. It's not how you get publicity on HN, but it does mean that PivotalCF -- our commercial distribution -- has the fastest-growing sales of an opensource-based product in history. And sales are still zooming up and to the right.

The nice thing is that we and other partners get very broad, specific feedback from customers who are already at massive scale and who expect utter, non-negotiable reliability. We run a public service ourselves (Pivotal Web Services), SAP have HANA Cloud, IBM runs BlueMix.

We and other Cloud Foundry contributors have had the benefit of that dogfooding and feedback for longer than any other container-based platform in existence. And it turns out, there are so many things that can go wrong. So many. It's crazy.

Lastly, Cloud Foundry teams have massive investments in project automation. This gives us two capabilities: one is that we can roll out complete rebuilds of the whole platform within hours of an upstream CVE patch. Users can then apply these fixes to their platform live, in-place, without any running apps noticing that it has occurred. BOSH[1] will roll out the deployment with canaries, and Diego[2] will relaunch containers as they are reaped during upgrade.

The second capability is that we are confident in making very deep, very aggressive changes if it proves necessary, because we have tests upon tests upon mountains of more tests. And again: nobody notices, except that their platform gets faster or becomes reliable under even more extreme circumstances.

If I sound like an utterly biased fan, it's because I am an utterly biased fan. I've watched this thing evolve up-close for years. It is amazing.

We build installable superpowers.

Disclosure: If it's not obvious, I work for Pivotal on Cloud Foundry.

Sure thing. :) One thing I'm not completely clear on is the reactivity model. It seems like setting $components (for example) triggers a setter that updates the DOM? What about other DOM properties? What about underscore properties? Is there a dependency graph under the hood, and can you set up a property to depend on a calculation based on another property? Or is all data propagation explicit/imperative/"push"?

Somewhat-related question:

I have a cluster of ~6 machines that I'm using to play with containers and container orchestration tools and so on. I specifically want to be able to

1. Have a non-cli interface for management, and especially not have to write a bunch of YML files myself, and

2. Be​ able to specify exactly which machine in the cluster a specific container ends up on.

Something like Openshift Origin seems to be the way to go, but is there another option worth thinking about?
Mesos should probably be on the list as well.

Just to clarify, because there is a lot of misinformation about overhead considering the Trump administration wants to cut it. 55% overhead means for every $1, another 0.55 gets routed to MIT (so about a 1/3 goes to overhead). Also, the overhead goes to real research. For example, my lab doesn't pay an electricity bill, or a heating/cooling bill, or a cleaning bill, or rent, etc. Also, you can get more exact numbers on MIT here [1].

Came here to say basically this. It can take months or years to taper down. I've seen a lot of people prescribed a lot of benzos (Klonopin specifically but also others. I think there are rules about how Xanax can be prescribed in my home state) , even when my peers and I were younger. It seems to me that these drugs are surprisingly accessible to people with the right resources. Unless there is no other way you can function taking Klonopin for long term

To my untrained eye being prescribed any benzo for extended daily use seems like it should be an exceptional treatment, but maybe I'm wrong.
Absolutely. I made a side reference through DCOS, which is the PaaS-packaged Mesos.

I wonder how far you can go with this. I mean, there is a huge scale from homeopathy ("I know this does not work, but some believe in it"), things labeled placebo and administered by a doctor, smarties in a pill bottle and buying someone a candy bar and saying "here, that will make you feel better".

I'm pretty sure I know a few cases of self-administered placebos. When you are sick everyone has the wondercure, be it healthy food, some natural bee-wax-antibiotic, homepathy, "it's all just psychosomatic"/"there is allways a deeper reason for a sickness" or what not.

We've released a new app, Koantify Checklists[0]. It's a voice responsive app (i.e., Siri-like) for creating, maintaining, using, and sharing checklists.

You create and maintain checklists within this app (or you can use our web-based editor).

When you perform your task, the app steps you through it by voice or text, and responds to your voice commands (it tries to provide optional "hands-free" operation as much as possible).
When you complete your checklist, the app optionally emails you (or a list of people) a detailed record of completion of the checklist, showing steps you completed, skipped, or possibly had to repeat.

For organizations, it's easy to export/import checklists. You can distribute by email, via iCloud, or you can download checklists from web links. Our goal is to provide easy sharing of important checklists for tasks you want to standardize on.
For training in your organization, use of a checklist provides important reminders on how things should be done.

Feedback, comments, suggestions are all most welcome.

Not more just. But when the situation is more asymetrical the more farcical the powerful side's complaints of the weaker's perfidy. (Tons of examples. The most universally accepted were Germans killing 1-10 civilians in retaliation for dishonorable uninformed partisans)
Try a clothing store with exact color hex codes on the tags of all garments, and, software in which someone's skin tone and eye color are matched with one's appropriate seasonal color. Such a store would diagnose/prescribe a shopper's acceptable colors and said shopper would choose items using the color hex code on the tags.

This could be an entirely online operation, too, given a smartphone app and a web store which provided access to the color codes for each of the garments.

See the book "Color for Men" by Carol Jackson for more details on seasonal color theory.

Send me a couple hundred if it ever gets off the ground.
I often find that being dry and objective is the best way to get my subjective point across.

Readers find it distressing when we as reporters don't speak in an authoritative voice; it makes readers question if we really have a definitive answer to the problems we present to them.
I like your point, saying that genes don't need to be beneficial to stay in our DNA. (after all, our DNA has huge swaths of repetitive or inactive codes interspersed between protein coding instructions) To say that it has -no- influence on human evolution is unlikely, given that it is takes a combination of genes that result in the expression. Those combinations on their own influence brain development via encoding of proteins at certain times of development, or switching other genes on an off. Perhaps the expression of ASD isn't very influential on human evolution, but to say that it isn't -at all- related, or that it's constituent genes have no affect on our development is likely incorrect.
> abstracted in the relationships that emerge between larger assemblies.

Yes, but that's the point.

Obviously it's hard to make predictions a macro level purely from studying it at a super micro level and without looking at parts of the interactions it might even be impossible; but that's not what's being asserted here.

What's being asserted here, is, in scott aaronson's words:

> In their new work, Hoel and others claim to make the amazing discovery that scientific reductionism is false—or, more precisely, that there can exist “causal information” in macroscopic systems, information relevant for predicting the systems’ future behavior, that’s not reducible to causal information about the systems’ microscopic building blocks.

Think about that for a second.

You're saying, there's a kind a of 'meta information' in complex systems, that cannot be reduced into information about its constituent parts or how they interact.

For example, 'what you might pick for lunch' cannot be represented as a information about your blood, body, atoms, stomach.

It's a stupid assertion; if you assert that a system of any complexity cannot be predicted by the behavior of its constituent parts, you're basically saying that 'nothing makes sense'. It's patently false. It's just a flip off to people building probabilistic models like, oh hey, don't bother, that doesn't work.

It's just not true.

What's mathematically interesting is how they've devised the paper.

If you can show, mathematically, that you have more information for predicting future state from considering a macro state than all micro states, that's a pretty interesting result; but it's also exactly the point scott demolishes in his blog post.

...and the rebuttal?

> Doing a series of A/B tests to capture the effects of the macroscale states doesn’t correspond to doing a series of A/B tests to capture the effects of microscale states. A randomized trial at the macroscale of medical treatments to see their effect on tumors won’t correspond to an underlying set of microscale randomized trials, because many different microstates make up the macrostates.

Which is where we started; ie. the assertion that the behaviour of microscale effects doesn't reflect macro scale effects.

...but we know that it does. We don't invent new drugs by going off and randomly trying crap; we model the molecules and predict the macro scale effects they'll have.

What he's asserting here is quite literally, demonstrably false.
Are you familiar with modern intelligence research? IQ test is reliable (get the same score when you test multiple times) and valid (correlate with things we actually care about, not just being good at solving IQ test problems).

Intelligence: All That Matters by Stuart Ritchie is a good summary of modern intelligence research. https://www.amazon.com/Intelligence-That-Matters-Stuart-Ritc... To quote:

"The scientific evidence is clear: IQ tests are extraordinarily useful. IQ scores are related to a huge variety of important life outcomes like educational success, income, and even life expectancy, and biological studies have shown they are genetically influenced and linked to measures of the brain. Studies of intelligence and IQ are regularly published in the world's top scientific journals."
