The problem is the risky action may have been an additional drill earlier that required a sleep deprived watch team to stay awake and miss a hoped for extra cat nap. It may have been the decision to qualify a marginal OOD to get the ship up to 4-section watch. It may have been the decision to not qualify a marginal OOD and stay on 3 section, or 2 section watch. And the othwrwise brilliant watch team was running ragged. It may have been a public rebuke of an OOD, or an OOD's rebuke of a lookout, that compelled someone to not speak up on that fateful night. Every option sucks. But the fact that the collision was on the Fitz's starboard side strongly suggests someone on the Fitz has some explaining to do.

That is what it would take to sync with the chain.

> The upload bandwidth required for a full node with eight peers is an absolute minimum of 0.39mbps/mb of block size.

That doesn't make any sense, it depends on how many people are downloading from you. By the way, you do realize that millions of people upload and download far more than this from torrents right? How can you even say these things with a straight face, they make no sense.

> The things you're saying are the kind of things that people who really don't have any clue of the resources required by a node would say.

You keep saying I don't know what I'm talking about, but I run half a dozen unlimited and classic nodes, they cost next to nothing. I run one off my phone with a 256GB micro sd card.

Do you really think you can't pay $15 USD per month and run even a single full node? A node doesn't even come REMOTELY close to taking up the resources of the cheapest VPS out there. How can anyone take you seriously when you say things like this?
It's bad practice to assume things are set up properly by someone else. This applies to more than just computers, fwiw.
When I had AT&T it was definitely a more secure setup.
Really? The problem arose when we were building packages for pkg.tarsnap.com, so it's a tools problem rather than an infrastructure problem...
Definitely easy for a non-Pittsburgh to equate difficulty with elevation. Which ignores elevation changes, weather, sharp turns, tunnels, and bridges. Also a strange fondness for salt which generally makes things worse. Find a Pittsburgher who thinks driving in Tahoe is hard, even off the beaten path.

Personally I try my best to get as far off the beaten path as I can. Tahoe and surrounding areas is a cake walk compared to Pittsburgh.
Was this sarcasm or are you suggesting censorship is an acceptable solution to fake news, internet trolls, etc?
Old buildings stand until they decay or we run out of space nearby and demolish them. HTML doesn't decay and we can't run out of URLs; web pages only disappear because our hosting infrastructure needlessly demands ongoing payment from (only!) the author.

I say "needlessly" because the actual cost of storage, CPU, and networks are dropping so quickly that hosting a page forever should asymptotically approach a fixed cost that isn't much more than the first few years.
I'm going to go a bit farther and say: correct, for non-constructive criticism, on HN, you shouldn't be allowed to express it.

The community values here don't support or endorse non-constructive criticism, and I am OK in saying that simply shouldn't be allowed.

There are other venues for that stuff, this isn't one of them.
(just to emphasize, I think parent understands this)

The render function here can be stateful, React vdom-style: diff with previous output, efficiently update output based on the perf characteristics of a terminal. But it's an entirely separate domain, which is great for the developer.
Likewise in the UK. We have Faster Payments and a heavily consolidated banking system here, turning banking apps into a de facto P2P payments platform.
Suppose I have peanuts and you have shellfish.

I don't care for peanuts (in fact, I'm allergic to them). The subjective value that I assign to them is zero (or negative)

Same thing, you don't care for shellfish (religious reasons).

Suppose we move around existing assets -- trade peanuts for shellfish.

All of a sudden both of us have something we can use, of non-zero subjective value (the only kind of value that exists, btw).

To say that no value has been created in the transaction is quite simply to ignore the basic universal motivation for trade.

Every voluntary transaction happens only because both parties believe that they're getting the better part of the deal (I'd rather have shellfish than peanuts).
I detect sarcasm in your reply.
Maybe not acceptable, but it seems plausible that it could be effective.
Recent advances in AI still have some big limitations, especially that all the benchmarks at which it has excelled are 1) synthetic and 2) end points.

First, real world telemetry is very often less clean than the synthetic data presently used to train face or word recognizers. In the wild, bad lighting, poor focus, motion artifacts, occlusions, odd angles, floppy hats and unfamiliar expressions will reduce accuracy enormously when used in the real world. This often isn't a game stopper when the usage is lightweight (single picture matches, willingness to re-scan the object, patience from the user, etc). But in "live fire" situations like driving a car, the cost of misidentifying road signage, pedestrian behavior, or failing to perceive imminent risk can be very dire. In fact, good performance in synthetic situs like a lab are a LONG way from practical utility outside the lab.

Second, because these benchmarks are end points, where the only objective is to put a label on each input and add them up to gain a high total score, there is little impact after a label fails, when it misclassifies an object or misunderstands a word, and has to deal with the consequence.

Beyond mere benchmarks, when a situated AI is obliged to process a sequence of data and reactions to each appropriately (driving past street signs like "BRIDGE OUT" or "BEWARE OF DOWNED POWER LINES" or "DEAF CHILD") and the AI fails to understand some or all of an unfamiliar observation, unless it's also able to ask itself questions like "What ELSE might that sign mean?" or "Maybe I should slow down here because I may have misread, or because flooding is common hereabouts", the consequences of a 5% error rate on synthetic benchmarks looks a lot less favorable.

IMHO, AI is still a long way from doing more than advising humans. In a great many practical use cases, I suspect AI is a nowhere near robust and reliable enough to take the reigns from the status quo.

We sold off the company. It's just not possible to build a company that doesn't bootstrap.

But where there's a problem, there's also an opportunity. It's not necessarily a bad thing. It means that competitors are either poorly funded or on a political leash by VCs. It's possible to do "low hanging fruit" companies, knowing that someone can't just come in and compete. They'd have to work about half a year just to secure angel funding.

And the lack of good early stage VCs means that we could become early stage VCs in a few years.
Not yet. Some of the smaller pages like those will be up and running very soon! CoinStarter was just launched yesterday. Some features might not work yet, but for a limited time they are giving 100 free tokens when you join and 25 tokens for each referral.

I don't code, but I was a homemaker for a lot of years. My first full time paid job was at a Fortune 500 company. I was 41 years old and it paid better than minimum wage.

I didn't plan that. I was trying to get a different job when a relative suggested I apply. But I knew people at the job who had spent years trying to get good enough to qualify.

Get a copy of "What color is my parachute?" and read up on the section concerning informational interviews. See if you can get a few information interviews. The point is a fact finding mission to get some idea of what it really takes to get into the company in comparison to where you currently are.

Do some googling online and start a folder to compile information on your target companies. Try to get some insight into what they are looking for.

Try to find out what the application and interview process is like. Big companies tend to have very formal processes. Insider connections will generally be less useful to you than in small shops like you have been working at.

I would do some basic legwork before asking further questions of this sort. I got a job at a big company and I can't really tell you how to make that happen. I had several years college and I had the math and language skills they wanted. I ended up qualifying for two positions and picking which one I wanted, this after more than a year of getting nowhere in my job search while going through a divorce. But there are people who are talented at job hunting (my sister is one such person) and my impression is they do a lot of research before applying.

Best.

Hey, I know the phd student who printed out these cells and set up the demonstration! It's part of the university's push for large scale organic solar demonstrations along with the smaller test cells.

From talking with him, the technology isn't really ready for prime time yet but it's getting pretty close. I think the key point is that efficiencies in small scale cells and larger scale manufacturing are still climbing (the same group has achieved greater than 5% in a cm^2 test cell iirc) and the printing is incredibly cheap and very amenable to fast scaling up.

It seems pretty obvious that you needed more efficiency for it to be a viable rooftop solution but the guy who set this up claimed that the fact he could just stick down some velcro and stick on the cells opened up some different use cases with cheap and lean installations supporting cheap cells.

All in all, if you look at how far the technology has come in the last 5 years alone, then it's a pretty exciting field to follow.
The UCSD Pascal system, which ran on Apple II and many other computers in the late 70s - early 80s, always displayed a menu (for whatever program was running) across the top line of the screen. I wonder if that was the inspiration for the Macintosh menu bar.
The military is another largely "zero-sum" activity. If all militaries were disbanded immediately, no change in economic value would occur. In fact, the economic value of "winning a war" is questionable, let alone losing one. I'd extend this argument to the "war on drugs" as well. And the "war on terror" (as currently fought).
True, but search algorithms are the foundation for most game playing AIs. What I would take out of this is that there is a missing component that would bridge specialized AI to general purpose AI that mimics humans. For example a trained professional player is aware of the history of plays prevalent to a game and I doubt most professionals can/eventually invent new plays, and this affords by-passing the brute force millions of games needed to train an AI.
It's all about controlling the narrative, for the very same reason Western governments have also increased their influence over everything digital over these past 10 years.

China might be doing it in the most obvious and blunt way, but they are not doing anything that's especially unique, other countries just have less obvious ways to get what they want. Like enacting laws to fine social media companies or pressuring them to tow the line trough less visible means.
Those aren't linked quite yet because CoinStarter was just launched yesterday. Some of the smaller pages like that will be up and running soon. My friend is the one who has put all this together and is a reputable guy.

I was taught German in school and back when my memory of it was fresh I could, with some help, understand articles written in Norwegian, so yeah.

This sort of explains why Germans and Scandinavians in general are so proficient in english.
What if it doesn't even out eventually? I like to get 4-5 cocktails when I go out, and am usually the one getting steak instead of chicken (to use the article's analogy) -- so I almost always dine on significantly more than the average person at the table. If we just split uniformly, I'm definitely taking advantage of the other people at the table, so what options are there? Of course, I could pitch in more for that evening's bill, but once we're at the point that we're splitting it unevenly, then I don't see how that's any different than venmoing someone instead, and that's a lot easier than dealing with cash.
The parent posts here are talking about the admin interface to the router, not the wireless password. While it's technically true that anyone within range can connect, they can't authenticate without the wireless password, and so cannot access the admin interface.

I live part of the year in a country that regularly filters the internet. I've had no issue so far using VPNs, but I prefer to tunnel directly through the PCs I have running 24/7 in my US office. Would tunneling work in China or does the Great Firewall prevent that too? I'm curious because there may come a day when I need better workarounds myself.
Looks good, but why not dump is as a flame graph?
Very cool! Now I want to figure out the Postgres EXPLAIN JSON format and start parsing other DBs to fit, just so I can use this tool on them.
Well sure there were fast devices but those were at the same price you could get an iPhone or high-end Android and those were already proven to be good, while Microsoft was still unknown. People don't usually throw ~700$ at a device they're not sure about.

It’s pretty sophisticated at detecting tunnels, but presumably still possible to evade. This post was on HN recently:

I think the Chinese government can do deep-packet inspection to detect common VPN protocols like IPSec. Even if you use something like TLS-based VPN, the government uses bandwidth statistics to tell normal browsing apart from VPN.
I think proxy/MitM is perfect when combined with BYOD and app cert pinning.

The user needs to opt-in to the end-to-end-security undermining corporate network.

An app can opt-out of such networks. In which case you'll just have to use it at home, or over the cellular data connection. An app that is sympathetic to or sold for "enterprise" use will allow use of the user-added MitM CA in the system root CA store.

Finally, a "guest network" could be created if the enterprise wanted to enable users to use BYOD and any app as they are normally used.

It's just a matter of everyone making an honest choice between end-to-end security and "enterprise" interception. That was always the choice.
As far as I know, AOF is still not the default setting. It's important to point this out, or otherwise Redis will suffer the same fate as early MongoDB, which had a similar default persistence model which many users didn't fully understand.
I appreciate all these new clients with some interesting twists, but I would appreciate more if people spent at least a relatively small portion of their time contributing to existing (very good and solid) messengers like Pidgin, instead of re-inventing the wheel. Every now and then, someone hacks a new client, which begs the question about the value of that effort.
No as they do DPI and protocol detection so they would shut down your users pretty quickly. There was more about this on 32C3, I think this is the correct link: https://media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7196-how_the_great_firewall_disc...
>"A lot of restaurants are won't split bills too many ways because it takes time and impacts table turnover."

How much time time does it really take? Let's compare it to a single check with with cash as the form of payment. Some diner at the table needs to go through the bill and and collect the money or else the bill gets passed around and then everyone antes up their portion, there always come confusion about what something on the check is or who had what. Then you need to collect all the cash and make change for everyone. Then the server needs to settle the check at the register.

Is that really any lengthier than just splitting up the check for individual diners? I am doubting it.

>No more than a car manufacturer has a 'duty' to explain how a car or a car engine works.

It is their duty (car mfgs) in the sense that they need the customer to attribute value to their newest technology offerings.

Honda made damn sure that consumers knew what 'VTEC' was when it was new. Toyota made sure to throw 'Hybrid Synergy Drive' around all day; along with an on-dash animation of the flow of electrons. We're all hearing all about how Teslas' auto-pilot works.

I don't know if it's a duty unless you consider it as a duty to their shareholders to generate value or profit wherever possible.
This is typical technical jargon conflation in furtherance of interview pedantry. Please spare me.

Looking at the words superficially, their definitions are easily discerned:

Covariance: changing together, with similarity.

Contravariance: changing in opposition to one another.

But, as part of strategic nerd signaling in interviews to parse what a candidate has been reading lately, you'll encounter middle managers that will cull contending close-call applicants based on trivia like this. Similar technical jargon that isn't what you think it might be, due to some seminal blog post include "composition" or "isomorphic" or perhaps most obviously, the simple-but-loaded term "functional."

Try defining the word functional incorrectly during a technical interview and see what happens.

A simplest comparison would be it's 10x less efficient and 20x cheaper. For residential might not be useful as you'd might want to maximise output.

For solar park or industrial rooftops (especially when building new) that could be good price advantage.
Serious question: how old are you?

I’m 37 and probably wouldn’t know anyone using it in my normal social circle except I happen to know a bunch of ~24 yr olds (some younger) via a younger colleague.

Of those you are younger guess how many use Venmo? Every. Single. One.

In no-limit poker the abstraction is a few fixed multiples of the blinds if you're leading out from a reasonably sized stack (1x big blind through maybe 6x big blind) or a few fractions of the pot if you're raising or betting in a later round (1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 or 1x the pot, or all-in).

Yeah, the UK has so much contactless payment and cheap or free transfers that it has, somewhat ironically, limited competition in this sector.

Even things like Google Wallet & Apple Pay seem to be treated with a “but... why?” attitude.
