I thought the same as well, but recently I've been having a decent go at it with RancherOS. Everything boots from two docker processes, either at the system or user level. Almost anything in the system can be pretty easily configured via cloud-init.yml file. If you want an Ubuntu console layer(or Alpine) just specify it in the yml.

It's great to see NixOS and similar tools gaining ground. But personally I find that docker's configurations simpler to grok than NixOS's syntax. Plus it's interesting the granular level of control over system security and system access gaiened via docker (really mostly Linux secomp controls and process namespaces). It's kind of like having capabilities built into the OS on top of specification driven system configuration.

The power requirements are very large for electric propulsion. It would be hard to generate enough electricity to have a good power to weight ratio. For a engine with similar thrust to the Falcon 9, you need ~186 gigawatts of electrical power (a significant portion of the US power grid). To generate that much power, you need a rocket engine, which defeats the purpose of going electric.

The main advantage of them is that you can run them for a year or two before they develop issues and they use much less propellant. Typically they are used as station keeping thrusters, where you don't care about the low thrust they generate.
>That was the case when Apple acquired Metaio GmbH in 2015. Bankers appointed by the augmented-reality firm to negotiate weren’t allowed in the room, and while Metaio executives felt the offer was low, Apple’s vision for the technology convinced them to sell, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

In other words, the offer was realistic.
Indeed.

Just did a bit of stubby pencil work. Ignoring fuel and power supply mass, a modern 30kw hall thruster strapped to Voyager 2 and run continuously until today would have accelerated the vehicle to 7 million mph (.01c)

This would place the vehicle at around 1.2 trillion miles away from us (.2ly).

Can I get into a respectable CS masters program with a Math and Physics degree?
Hi guys,

I was planning on majoring in CS + Physics, but the introductory course for CS is really turning me off. I'm interested in machine learning, which I believe is mostly graduate work. I was wondering if I can do my undergrad in math & physics and still get into a respectable program (say tier 1 schools) to learn about ML
The american colonies were not democratic, they needed a violent revolution to create a democracy. There was no peaceful mechanism for them to take power.

Russia and China were already democracies before the authoritarian parties took over. They could have peacefully taken control in elections if they were able to convince the voters. But instead they disbanded the legislatures and stopped having elections.

If you don't want the lawyer to know the contents either, encrypt it and give the key to another lawyer.

Asking people to trust lawyers might strike some as being a bit optimistic, but I haven't come across problems with people who are privileged to my information yet. Doctors, lawyers, accountants.

You might worry about the guy's infosec, but then I counter a lawyer is more likely to use a safe or other non-digital tech than most people.

Rather, big publishers and governments are like appear to be going to the Big Deal route once again, meaning that APCs still don't align with the service being provided. There's always more to publish, and thus Big Deal APCs can again be somewhat arbitrarily raised, just like subscription costs were.

Something I appreciate very much with AWS is how much dogfooding Amazon does. In contrast, Google has said in the past that GCP is not used by Google engineers (and it shows, occasionally GCP goes down but actual Google products do not!). There is also no clear indication that Microsoft is actively using the public deployment of Azure.

Although I liked seeing your article there is an additional factor you are not taking into account. PHP is not a webserver.

You should think about settings in php and other major services that are running on the server such as Apache, your chosen database, your OS.

Let's say you are running Apache, your php memory limit depends on which Apache MPM handler you are using. So let's say your client had 1GB of ram on the server, but you were running the Apache MPM handler "Prefork". Prefork does not support multithreading which most common cpu's run in these days. Additional Prefork actually takes into account what the php memory limit is set at and it likes to reserve this amount of memory so that php processes can be executed. So although php does not lock up the php memory. The Prefork handler does.

Prefork likes to also perform whats called a one-to-one execution. So the php script is executed and it locks up one Apache slot. So this also depends on what you have set your MaxClients value to in your httpd.conf.

If you set your MaxClients in Apache on Prefork to 50... you have 50 available slots, but let's say you set your php memory limit to 256M. That means with 4 different requests to your site, Prefork has now allocated and locked up all your ram on your server, even if your individual scripts do not need it.

Keep in mind these processes get executed very quickly so those slots get freed fairly quickly, however it all depends on your Apache MPM handler.

If you switch your Apache MPM handler to event, the memory limit no longer comes into play as Event can handle multithreading as well as for every php process that is spawned and locked to an apache slot, it can spawn 10,000 child processes from the same slot.

I feel like your clients webhost was probably correct in their assessment and you should really factor in other elements that hold control over how php reacts. Great article though :)
> if not the entire RE market in the US - would collapse overnight if China decided to prohibit the free flow of money into US properties.

That's a comical extreme exaggeration. China has a minuscule share of and influence on the US real-estate market overall, including all of its metros. They have a several hundred billion dollar position in a hundred trillion dollar total market. They've only begun to have big influence in one city - Seattle (Amazon by itself has several times the real-estate influence that China does on Seattle). Much like Vancouver's real-estate market didn't collapse once the Chinese money stopped flowing in so easily, nor would Seattle's market. Further, most of China's real-estate influence is on a small segment of the higher end part of the market, from the capital flight of wealthier Chinese.

All of that Chinese capital flight has already slowed dramatically due to capital controls. And yet, US real-estate isn't having a problem at all (quite the opposite).

Japan had a dramatically greater position in US real-estate in the late 1980s. Guess what didn't happen when Japan started pulling its capital out of US real-estate? You guessed it, US real-estate didn't collapse at all. In fact, it did just fine from 1992 to 2000. The huge problems Japan's economy had, resulted in a small twitch in the US real-estate market, which is exactly what would happen with China.
Unfortunately not, I'm afraid. I would guess they have much of their execution infrastructure in the same data centre as the exchanges they execute on.
There's a trick in this clickbait:

> According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American works 8.8 hours every day. Yet a study of nearly 2,000 full-time office workers revealed that most people aren't working for most of the time they're at work.

The plain reading is that this article is based on BLS data. The BLS makes huge amounts of data available (and is friendly about answering questions), and the 8.8 hour figure is really theirs: https://www.bls.gov/tus/charts/chart1.pdf

But the second sentence is about unrelated research not conducted by the BLS, even if you trust that it exists.

This data looks bizarre. 23 minutes of smoke breaks? Only 15% of Americans smoke (https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adul...), so if 85% of people spend 0 minutes a day smoking the other 15% spent 153 minutes per work day smoking. That can't be right, so this list must be the average time spent on an activity of all the people who reported engaging in it, which makes it pretty useless for understanding the overall situation it purports to talk about.

Assuming a study was done, this is probably self-reported data of a self-selected population. Ask 2,000 websurfers to break down their yesterday or last week of work and you're not going to get reliable data.

Without an accounting of methodology (or at least a citation), this article is an infohazard. People might read it an accidentally take it seriously, or remember these numbers but not remember they were completely unsupported.

> People used to buy a car with the expectation it last 20-30 years

I can't speak about all people, in all time periods, but most people in the 1960s/70s in the USA were thinking about keeping their cars for 10 years maximum. Cars were dizzyingly cheap in those days, and a highschool student could work part-time during a single summer and buy a new sports car.

To me, the only thing that has changed between now and then is the price of vehicles, not the expectation that they're disposable.
This is a tough one to avoid. Only way i can imagine to detect malicious packages, is by simulating massive deployment or interesting keywords and watch communications.
Everything we do in life relies on a trust system more or less. Reproducible build only guarantees integrity, not the trustworthiness of the code.

> There is no way for anyone to know what all this code is doing, there is little way to verify updates and its simply untenable.

Because few people have time to read source code. Take Django as an example. Big community, lots of contributors. Can we say we should trust the code because the number of eyes? Probably, but not always.

Why? We can overlook and pretend the code is legitmate. Take Linux kernel or some of the crypto projects out there. A lot of unreadable old tricks made backdoor really easy. [1] is interesting because someone apparently made an authorized changeset to BitKeeper. Are you going to read JRE code to make sure no backdoor? Nah.

Is there a solution? Nope and will never have a solution. The best one can do is using a DVCS to prevent unathorized changeset (provided every contributor does a sanity check for pulling in changeset) and trust the community. No machine can distinugish a good code from a bad code. Humans can't even tell unless raising a red flag.

Sometimes change of project ownership can also introduce some uncertainty, but that is a rare case for major projects.

I am pretty confident there are code in the Linux kernel no one has ever touched or ever read for years.

I took this route. It took me two days. Not 15 minutes. You need to set up a PXE server (coreos/matchbox) beforehand. Which I needed to get working with existing PXE / DHCP deployment. And I had to do some tweaking on the generated Terraform templates tectonic generated. (my disk names are vd* instead of sd*. I use virualization also for bare metal). So I needed to learn what Terraform was.

But still a much smoother experience than Kubernetes The Hard Way. It is almost one-click.

The 15 minutes is probably true if you take azure or AWS. But deploying something in an existing environment always takes planning and time. However, coreos is more than willing to help. (I simply asked questions on IRC. But they also have an enterprise support plan)

Drafted thoughts: raw and uncombed – September 2017
Funny how you always hear about Android fragmentation (hard to avoid with so many vendors), but iOS is not exactly much better in the end for a company that controls everything from the hardware to the OS.
93% of iPhones are on the latest major OS version.

Compare this with the mess that is Android versioning.

There is a sizable cohort all the way back to 4.4, which significantly complicates app development and testing.

pip allows you to specify, along with package name and version, the expected hash of the downloaded package. If you do that, then pip will download the package, calculate the hash, and check against what you specified. In case of mismatch, pip will refuse to install the package.

PyPI also supports adding GPG signatures alongside packages, but with no trust/verification process to assert "this key really is the key of the person who should be releasing this package", the signature is literally worthless; anyone who could put up a fake package could also generate a signature for it, and you'd have no way of knowing that the key which signed that package shouldn't be trusted for that package.

It is a very very hard problem, and people need to appreciate that.
I listened to a talk about this, and it seemed, that you can recover a lot of data by looking at the "diffs". You could probably even train autoencoder-like architecture to decode these deltas for you.

How to make music on Android
Of iPhone 4S users, 85% have upgraded to the latest version available for the platform, iOS 9. There are 9% still using iOS 6. That's the largest percentage of users running a version that is not the latest. I'm one of them.

My reason for not updating is because I use iTunes 10.6.3, which has USB sync for contacts & calendars, and even PowerPC. I was using iOS 5.1.1 for a long time, until a broken Cydia package forced me to restore, and then I had to downgrade using OdysseusOTA.

Software rot is a daily problem. LINE is discontinuing support this week. It's like the software is forcing me to upgrade my hardware.

The day will come when my phone will break. Unless Apple dramatically changes course and brings back their ecosystem, that will probably be the day when I leave iOS altogether.
Looking at the numbers, iOS is significantly better in reducing version fragmentation. Like you said, it's much easier to do this when you don't have dozens of OEMs in the way.

Debian has ~3000 packages, and every single package had an identified maintainer...

As of yesterday npmjs had 516,132 packages, which was an increase of 373 since the day before. Debian's 3000 packages is a couple of weeks of npmjs activity. Even if you stripped out the unnecessary, abandoned, or duplicate packages you're still looking at a something significantly different to Debian.

For what it's worth I think a well-maintained, verified, and known secure subset of npmjs would be a great idea, but the logistics of providing that would be effectively impossible without some serious cash behind it.

Sure it is. If you keep subsidizing a nation perpetually in a money-losing approach to buying favor like that, your favor loses value as they take your largesse for granted (guaranteed to happen across all of human nature), yet you keep bleeding large sums of capital forever for no further gain.

Buying favor that way for China will cost trillions of dollars over time and gain them little. China will realize that if they don't already and will switch to the US system of military partnerships and distribution (it's cheaper, it builds up your nation's global military capabilities, you turn around and sell military hardware to the nations you're dealing with, and your partners become over-dependent on you for their security which completes the lock-in). You can already see some early efforts in that direction from China. Going forward, most of their foreign capital adventurism will likely redirect back toward practical investments, eg in natural resources.

Not having a wallet option is a deal breaker.

Cashless payments is very popular amongst youth here and majority of us college students don't have a functional bank account which makes us either carry our parents debit cards or our parents "Paytm" us (yes, it's become a verb here) our monthly pocket money.

Regardless of that, there is still a very poor adoption of cashless modes of payments by street hawkers and kirana stores. And many high revenue businesses I have seen going directly for card POS systems like mswipe etc as wallets have some monthly limits and high fees for transferring to bank account. So the competition for tez is with physical card swipes and seeing the overall internet connection health even in the cities, it's a pain to use apps to pay majority of the times.

When you’re managing a decent sized wireless network all the out of date Android devices are a right pain in the ass, so often I find devices that aren’t just out of date (usually Samsung’s) but also devices trying to connect to dodgy BitTorrent and P2P networks - furthermore when I speak to the user(s) involved 99% of the time they genuinely didn’t know their device is running dodgy software such as malware with P2P connections OR that it’s a potential security issue that they haven’t or often can update their OS. Most of the time the devices look quite modern too, it’s not like its people running really old devices.
