I don't disagree at all. My numbers should be in the ballpark but generous. If someone has more data sources they can link to, fire away.

I think the real takeaway here is that even at ~$400 per 25 cars refueled, it's not a super great market to be in. It's also kind of like starting a printing company during the 21st century (cough cough Vista Print). Yes, there's a sliver of margin to be had with aggressive automation and negotiation but at the end of the day, you'll be out of business in a couple decades when the underlying technology changes, in this case electric cars that can be charged at home.

> Do you really know this? What's the limiting factor?

Yes, I've got a bunch of RasPi's (originals, v2's, and V3s).

The big issue is I/O bandwidth. All of the meaningful I/O in a server setup goes through one USB 2.1 hub. The second issue is that all of the memory accesses have to traverse the (useless) GPU to get to the CPU.

As designed for a phone, having the CPU be a ride along to the GPU makes perfect sense. The "thing" that is important in a smartphone is the screen, its updates and I/O to and from it. But as a general purpose server that isn't balanced.

We put RasPi servers on the Internet and local network at Blekko for a variety of tasks, and I've used them at home as well for servers. Very successful having them be single purpose servers (a DNS cache, a video streamer, a data collector) and very unsuccessful when they are multitasking multiple 'kinds' of network clients. Tried various configs with EXIM and Dovecot as a mail server, it processes very slowly. (an SSH session on the machine was 10s of seconds between the key press and the appearance of the character on my end, took me back to the worst of times on a timeshared system :-).

But seriously, everyone should try this. Set up a minecraft server, set up a web server, set up what ever you want and watch it. It is easy to set up multiple "stressor" clients with Python. Trace the flow of data from client to network to app to disk to app to network to client etc.

Then do the same thing on a machine with the same numbers and twice the I/O bandwidth (Odroid has a couple of boards with similar specs but better I/O bandwidth as do a bunch of boards in the 96boards.org spec)

It will be time well spent if you're ever asked to get the most out of a system.

Beyond the mismatched signal size, the FFT approach creates circular convolutions, which is not what you want in images. You'd need windowing or a larger effective signal size, and pay the cost of conversions back and forth.
This works in major cities with a self-sustaining population of scrappers.

Chicago trash service is utterly amazing. Literally anything that fits in your house you put in the alley and either the scrappers take it within hours, or the trash men haul it away without complaint.

Other cities I lived in were atrocious. You'd be looked at crazy if you had anything remotely considered an abnormal need. Such as traveling a lot and not being able to put your trash bin out every single week for pickup (as you'd be fined daily for leaving it on the street). Something stupidly that simple is exceedingly hard in most places in the US - and picking up large items is usually an even worse experience.

All public CAs are obliged (by the Baseline Requirements agreed with Mozilla, Apple, Microsoft etc.) to operate a "high risk" list of names for which they will do additional manual checks. For Let's Encrypt the effect of requiring "manual checks" is that you can't get a certificate because they only do automatic issuances.

However the BRs deliberately don't say what should or should not be on the list. Is Gmail as important as a Russian bank? Probably not if you're Russian!

Also of course CAs are not exactly rushing to reveal everything on their lists, for much the same reason you don't get told every security measure in place at your local bank.

I think this is exactly what the media is trying to get at when they refer to Pokemon Go as an "AR" game, and I'm surprised most folks in this thread are missing the mark.

Seeing as plenty of companies are wanting to cash in on the visual definition of AR, perhaps we need a differentiated term here? If you wanted to highlight the locational aspect, perhaps something like "augmented cartography" but I think the idea goes beyond harnessing position data... it's more generally about annotating reality, in a way.
Oh neat! Thanks for the steer.
Fair enough! I definitely agree with you there
> So, apparently you didn't even read the article, as it is explicitly stated that this was not the intention or direction of Swift.

It might actually help that there is a real commitment in that direction. The issue being that it was IBM that mostly pushed for changes in foundation and without there initial blue socket support, even the most basic tasks did not even succeed.

Let alone the none existing windows support. It may not have been Chris his intention but one now ex-employee intention does not mean a lot when the company determines the direction after his release.
Edit note: Some of the points in this article are really good so this is mostly just a rant on coding bootcamps from a bitter Computer Science grad who had to work 20 years to get where I am :)

Meanwhile to some of these points... we had a client recently where we built their mobile app. Large app, over $50,000 with a full API backend. Not a simple hello world. And then they hired someone straight from a boot camp to manage their mobile app, API, website, everything. And gave that person a Director title.

Yes, I know, titles are cheap at startups. But I guess you can learn to code in three months and not only get a job but apparently be director level.

Why should we accept imprecise nonsense just to provide companies with a marketing opportunity.

Unlimited SOUNDS better than any given number because it says you wont have to worry about usage. If you said 5TB of usage this might have the same connotations for most users however it doesn't communicate this fact as well.

However once you start playing games with language. Saying one thing in large print and the exact opposite in the fine print or depending on what different people think is reasonable it becomes harder to define what is permissible.
VR was just overhyped early. It will catch on.

Keep in mind that these are all 1st generation products. When an immersive VR system comes with a wireless headset, costs less than $500 and doesn't require 30 square feet of space, then it will begin to take off.

Remember the first iPod? We are going to be in this early adopter phase until the technology matures.

VR is not 3D TV. People who use immersive VR actually like it. 3D TV was annoying to most people after the novelty wore off.

"In terms of security/isolation, processes, users, containers and virtualization are all essentially the same thing."

This is not true. They each are defined by different security boundaries, have vastly differing properties of isolation and communication, contain different data, and are contained by different components.

From a security perspective they are not the same, though from a functional perspective they each solve similar problems.

I've used WordPress for years. It's great for a simple blog, but not any kind of complex CMS, IMHO. After adding a few plugins, maintaining it is a nightmare; and I won't get into the database design underneath.

Another vote for Wagtail: my team has moved to it and have found it to be wonderful. It is the first time our tech, content, UX and marketing teams all agree on a CMS being wonderful. Streamfield is an absolutely killer feature. Our writers love the editor interface, which was clearly designed by and for content creators, and not by a bored developer like me.

Check out Wagtail. It takes a little bit more planning to get started, but wow, does it pay off in the long run.

I don't think I'd consider buying this. Beyond my apprehension on possible build quality problems (RED hasn't made phones before?), gimmickness (are there many applications of 3D or holographic content for a phone, and would developers actually develop for it?), beyond it probably using Android, and beyond the very high price, would the camera be worth it compared to my iPhone? I can get some pretty great shots on my iPhone and I know it well enough to play with its weaknesses -- its bad low light performance, its bad color capture/profile, especially with halogen lights, and its bad grain -- and if I really wanted significantly better pictures I'd just take my DSLR with me (the only time this happens is if I'm going on a special trip because I hate carrying it). From the document they released [1], I would guess their target market is RED camera users anyway, so maybe it's not meant for me.

Also, the document is weird. It seems like it was copied from some blog post because one of the sections says, "I can also assure you," even though the document it's "written" by anyone in particular.

One great advantage of wildcard certificates is the privacy of the domains.

If you use customer1.mycorp.com, customer2.mycorp.com, etc. the names of your clients is exposed twice :

- if you issue one certificate with all the domains, all the domains are readable in the certificate (Cloudflare free cert. has this issue too)

- all the LE certificates are published in Certificate Transparency logs. So you can detect if anyone issues a cert. for your domain, but anyone can view the certificates you issued.

With a wildcard certificate, the subdomains used are not public.

Note this issue applies to "internal" subdomains too. You probably don't want to expose the hostname of your backoffice (admin.mycorp.com) or your new top secret project (linux.microsoft.org).

I don't understand what you are saying here.

Why is it "significantly more brittle"? It is a well-specified interface. It is less brittle than talking over a socket because the kinds of points of failure involved with sockets don't exist in this case.

> And it can't be spec'd with a schema that isn't just "read the headers."

What does that even mean? It's a protocol just like any protocol, except you get the added benefit that for many languages it can be typechecked. Why are you claiming it can't be specified or that someone has to "read the headers"? What headers?

From the wikipedia link:

"This type of poster was part of a general campaign of American propaganda during World War II to advise servicemen and other citizens to avoid careless talk concerning secure information that might be of use to the enemy"

This is not at all the same as creating a policy and not explain to the citizen you represent why you are doing it.

While that's true the rest of the world does need concrete answers on questions, rather than, "We are only 95% certain that statement X is true." Basically scientific rigor is important to make good science, but that does not apply to policy and the rest of society. In other words, when making a statement that goes to the public, qualifying statements are problematic.

The scientific community is at great fault for not being loud enough about the impact of global warming.
I still remember when the original Nintendo came out in 1988. It was $149 for the system, the light gun + Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt. ($320 in today's dollars).

I don't think the NES would have succeeded as much as it did were it not for the Mario Brothers + Duck Hunt bundle. The light gun turned out to be a gimmick, but at the time it felt like such a huge technological leap over Atari, and Duck Hunt was the way to show it off.

VR needs a Duck Hunt + Mario Brothers.

I think Nintendo gets this. Wii had Wii Sports, the Nintendo Switch has Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

They're more than just games, they're brands that through their ubiquity generate cultural capital for the platform.

It doesn't look like there is a battery in there (and there was no talk of deep sleep..) but at the same time this is not a true USB peripheral, there is a FTDI or similar chip that's talking USB but the ESP is only talking serial with that chip. So there isn't any scope for the ESP taking over its host by pretending to be a keyboard or similar.

But at the same time we are talking about using a 66 MHz processor and WLAN chip to connect all around the world to some Slack data center that then does a bunch of internal handling that is then at some point through another few world roundtrips received at his desk computer, a whopping metre away from the ESP and connected through a serial line. And no shit, all that nonsense is making the simple button press take seconds and for no good reason at all. To relay a hint from people standing a few feet away.

In other words, this fits right in with the IoT crowd!

> Ok, now we're getting somewhere. Are there a significant number of such places?

Yes, I'll make the same reference - the ex-mormon subreddit is an example where you will find a ton of stories of people being completely ostracised for their (lack of) belief. It's not just mormon's obviously, that's just a good example. It's really not hard to find that racism, sexism and other bigotry are alive and well today - people talk about it, precisely because it has such a large effect on their lives.

> Well, is it completely false that there is a relatively new movement...

I mean, I'm sure those people exist - I've seen no evidence of it being more than extremely isolated cases though, definitely not "a significant number" - as with any cause, there are people who go to extremes, but they don't reflect on "the left" any more than neo-nazis reflect on "the right" - they are a subsection.

You appear to be implying that this is somehow commonplace, but it's not.

Now, are you equating "girls only computing clubs" and examples like that I've given to "safe spaces" or "self-segregation"? Because they aren't. Again, as I've been making the point - we know it is hard to give opportunities to minorities when there is cultural expectation and barriers to entry. E.g: computing is a "boy" thing. Those kind of targeted groups are used as a force to push back on those barriers and societal expectations, allowing minorities opportunities they might otherwise not get.

I'll be absolute: I am a firm believer in free speech and debate, and universities are places to learn, and you need active debate for that. While people have a right to not be harassed (I've seen the claim that it's free speech to follow someone around a university campus or invade their living space, which is clearly just as dumb), that doesn't require infringing on debate to achieve.

The self-segregation thing I've literally never even heard of. The only examples I've seen were as protests, which is entirely valid.

I hear a lot of claims that there is some plague of "SJW"s destroying freedoms in a quest for safety - I've seen no evidence of this being anything other than a vanishingly small minority. People tend to claim this plague exists, cite one example of someone saying something obviously crazy, and then claim anyone arguing for social change is an crazy SJW who can be ignored. It's roughly equivalent to just claiming that everyone on the right is a nazi. Yes, there are some nutjobs out there, but clearly that isn't a representation of "the right" as it stands. The vast majority of "the left" is strongly in favour of protection of free speech.

Again, you were the one that was arguing my point - so your tone and direction seem off to me - are you really equating minorities working together to try and find routes around obstacles in place because of discrimination against them to segregation, and implying it is bad in the same way? That's the point I was originally making, and I honestly can't tell if you just cherry-picked a part of my point to try and nitpick and then go off on a tangent about how "the others" are worse, or if you believe that my point was invalid.
