Nike faced a similar situation where they felt that they could not effectively control their brand image so they pulled their products from Amazon. However, the product was still around as many individual re-sellers listed Nike products. So Nike ended up having even less control without having a relationship with Amazon [0].

Counterfeits are one issue, but brands have to accept that they cannot control distribution channels as they have in the past. Companies don't like to have their products showcased against similar products, but that's inevitable. Margins will shrink, and they'll just have to compete more on quality, value and reliability. In the end, the consumer benefits. The only solution would be to severely restrict what it means to own a product in a legal sense, which would be very harmful to consumers who value ability to re-sell and donate clothing.

I don't know why you are down-voted.

All that evolution "care about" are genes, no individuals.
That doesn't mean that sometimes big life-span of individuals can't be a good strategy for some genes.

About the down-voting thing: it seems to me that if you disagree with somebody, instead of down voting, the best strategy is to answer.

If you don't care enough about the comment for answering maybe you shouldn't be down-voting.

In my opinion, down-voting should be use for keeping the conversation civil and on the subject at hand, or things like fighting spam, not for expressing disagreement.

> >McCarthy's earlier work on Lisp wasn't Lisp.

> I didn't say this.

Again, I was asking how what you did say was different from it. Your answer seems to just be that your definition of Lisp means the subset described in the 1960 paper, and doesn't include the original implementation or McCarthy's earlier writing on the subject.

> You said black and white and it is not true from the paper I have shown.

The paper you quoted said that Lisp was originally conceived as an impure language (the part I quoted) and that that was unfortunate, but true (the part you quoted).

> I have already explained about the difference between the first LISP implementation and the core language written in the 1960 paper. [...] I am not talking about the 1958 paper.

So you meant to say that the 1960 paper was the first description of a pure language. Calling the 1960 paper's subset of Lisp "the original LISP" and disregarding the already-existing implemented Lisp system which the paper acknowledges, as well as McCarthy's previous writing on the subject, is misleading at best.

> I am not also talking about which idea is first or not.

Then we have different definitions of "original," too.

I say this all the time, but I always get mocked for it. "There are hundreds of thousands of Americans with clearance, how are we supposed to administrate that without computers."

But what's the alternative? Even if you air gap things very, very aggressively you still get owned. The CIA has said that air gaps have never stopped them. Ok, so what are we going to do? Getting data out from computer systems is too easy. Things should be pen and paper and maybe specialized typewriters (there are ways of bugging typewriters or using sound recordings of the typing to reconstruct sentences).

At the very least we should keep our foreign agents out of our databases.

ThinkPad caddys are dirt cheap. You can buy third party compatible caddys for under $10. [0]

In terms of a laptop with a reasonable build quality that includes a TPM, pretty much any corporate laptop will suffice. X220's command a premium because they're ThinkPads.

If you look at other options, something like the Dell E6220, which is from the same generation as the X220, can be purchased used for around $100. [1]

They don't support coreboot, but they're otherwise reliable machines. The Dell UEFI implementation supports only allowing signed updates and SecureBoot. Depending on your threat model this might be enough for you.

> You can buy an ebay business-grade laptop with TPM for 40 bucks USD readily

You'll have to buy something older than the E6220 mentioned above, but the Dell E6400 is available for $40. [2] That will have an integrated TPM.

> HN just loves to hate SNAP, and I can't really fathom why

Their entire product was marketed on the lie of ephemeral messaging. That's why I've always hated it. I don't like it when people talk down to the general public like that and lie to them about what technology can and cannot do.
That's a communication problem, or an organizational problem. We use Slack at my company and we have a policy--developed by communication with one another--that "notification" type things of that sort go into their own channel specifically for the purpose so that anybody who is interested enough can be invited or join (if it's public).
They're not really alternatives in that one is frontend and one is backend, but they are alternatives in the sense of "here's new tech that hiring people might be aware of and are the defacto way to make web 2.0 (now 3.0) websites for clients".
This post basically discusses Ubuntu's shipping of ZoL kernel modules, stock, inside of their initrd image, from what I can tell.

Which, in short, is a violation of the GPL and/or the CDDL. Now, if you go and build your own modules and not distribute them (such as using DKMS to build from source via Debian's zfs-dkms and spl-dkms, which Ubuntu decided not to do as well), then it's fine. No violation here, and the linked article basically says this inside of a bunch of wiggle room just in case they ever need to say they didn't say that.

As a ZoL user on Debian, Ubuntu usage of ZFS is a bit irritating. ZFS is hands down the best file system out there, and Ubuntu fouling up things with their style of politics isn't okay.

They basically cost the same, they both have 2 cores, so which one would you pick and why?

>> Minimum header overhead

> Wait, are you thinking about using UDP to transport HTTP?! Do you even know what your MTU is?

> If you're insane and send HTTP headers in each packet, you've wasted most of your data space.

I think header in the requirement just means protocol/PDU header, which is required to deploy any kind of higher level protocol on top of UDP. Just like the UDP header and the IP headers are used at the start of data received in ethernet frames. These headers can be anything depending on the use case, even only a single or even zero bytes. The whole document does not mention that sending HTTP headers on top of UDP (which obviously could cause MTU problems, but nevertheless this kind of mechanism was standardized with CoAP).

It would not surprise me if high-tech companies are inventing new, useful things in this field.

In my career as first a scientist and then an engineer, I've found very few practical users of highly technical experimental design theory, and all of them were in industry. These algorithms move about intelligently along all dimensions of some search space, whereas in the lab we prefered to turn just one knob at a time.

One reason is that the algorithms are optimally seraching for "known unknowns" -- that is they assume they roughly understand the problem. The lab is a world of unkown unknowns where the more plodding, understandable protocols tend to be safer.

But in industry, some problems are of the known-unknowns type. And experiment runs can burn up seriously expensive hardware time. So it makes sense for fusion researchers and cloud-computing giants a like to invent new practical ways to optimise searches.

Besides, optimising searches is what Googlers are for.

The ETSI NGP ISG[1] is looking at next generation protocols, also in the context of 5G.

"This ISG is seen as a transitional group i.e. a vehicle for the 5G community (and others of interest) to first gather their thoughts and prepare the case for the Internet community’s engagement in a complementary and synchronised modernisation effort."

The efforts seems to be in an quite early stage for now (architecture, models, requirements, etc).

I personally don't see TCP/IP going anywhere with 5G, but we may see more parallel deployments of protocols within isolated 5G network slices.

Ask HN: How many growth experiments do you run each week?
Hey. I wanted to do a quick poll to get your feedback. I recently saw a Heavybit podcast (see link to it below) where Sean Ellis, the guy who came up with the term "growth hacking" mentioned that the biggest predictor of growth is the # of experiments you run.

He mentions that Twitter on average runs 10 EXPERIMENTS A WEEK. Is that practical? At an early startup that's probably not feasible. That got me wondering what others are doing.

How many do growth experiments do you guys run in a week? We do about 2 - 3 a week max mostly via Optimizely.

The industry is heading this direction but the problem with microservices is that they're frequently chosen prematurely / misused / cargo-culted, chosen as a panacea without considering their tradeoffs and communication overhead.

Most of it really just goes back to the fallacies of distributed computing. A lot of people don't think about ways that microservices, by way of being decoupled, can be less efficient or fail between components, the network, etc where a monolith can't… until after they're built (or never).

The majority of apps in the world don't reach the point where the benefits of microservices outweigh their tradeoffs. Or they choose microservices to fix a problem that is really that the app is not decomposed well into clean modules and components. Even the creator of microservices says to go monolith first (https://martinfowler.com/bliki/MonolithFirst.html).

If they spent all of their cash (in a not-obviously-investment way) it would hurt their credit rating (and their business can't operate the way it does without a high credit rating). So they might have $43B (say) "in the bank", but that doesn't necessarily mean they could actually spend that $43B if the debt markets didn't think what they were spending it on was sensible.
IMHO, IRC suits well for opensource projects which do not need real-time collaboration or support "dummy" users which never read FAQ or documents.

I'm no fan of Ruby on Rails BUT measuring it by its popularity within coding bootcamps is not exactly the best metric. While they do provide hype around a technology, RoR is sufficiently established (and has been before coding bootcamps were around) that it doesn't need to be popular within those circles in order to thrive.

If anything, what's popular among coding bootcamps is more indicative of the kind of junior positions which are more readily available.
that makes no sense - how can you be sure that any paper isn't somehow political? Any psychology paper could be argued to be political because there is a left-right opinion divide on the human mind. The only reasonable approach in my opinion is to publish everything and let the replication studies and meta-analyses sort the wheat from the chaff.
Sure; it's just that we're talking about spending the cash stockpile. Microsoft has $126b "in the bank" but that doesn't mean they could actually spend all $126b on some moonshot, because by the time they'd spent half of it it would affect their interest rates and they'd have to start doing something about their debt.

I think what Slack got right was the on-boarding/time to wow. In a sea of vanilla, sterile enterprise products was this tool that just seemed to be having fun with it. For small companies, particularly in the SF area, it felt like it understood their vibe. For larger companies, it felt like they were joining the cool kids. My team uses Slack now and honestly, it's nothing _that_ special. It's a chat room. It's done well and has nice integrations (that's their product moat), but adoption is so key and they nailed that.

Ask HN: Software licensing excluding military use?
I have a piece of software in the robotics / computer vision domain I'll be open sourcing soon. I want to prevent any military from legally using it (I know that if they find it useful, they'll just use it anyway - that's not the point).

Does anyone know of a well behaved license that has this feature?

EDIT: I understand that restricting usage would make this not 'free as in speech' software, however I don't really mind.

Further clarification: I mean use by a military organisation for any purpose. If it makes it (somehow) into accounting software used for running military procurement/payroll or medical devices used in a military hospital, I also want that to be against the license.
