It's not often I find myself agreeing with a UK unionist but it's a point of honour that the Scottish referendum 2014 passed off largely as an orderly point of democracy. Westminster is often seen as heavy-handed North of the border but everyone is proud of that expression of democracy (however there are still words to be had about subsequent political events!).

Completely missed one of the most important points: It's easier to take risks, if those risks actualizing will not destroy your life.

In the US, there's very little social safety net to catch you. If you get sick before the startup is big enough, it means personal bankruptcy - and no medical treatment. Missing revenue targets can mean missing student loan payments, missing rent, etc. There's real risk you'll end up homeless in the end.

In Sweden, you might end up poor, but the poor are still taken care of. You get your medical treatment, the state pays your rent, and you are guaranteed enough income to buy groceries.

Firefox OS was ahead of it's time in the most literal sense. What they really should have done was FIRST work on all these new web APIs that allow you to make web apps that can accomplish things that only native apps could do before. They didn't exist 5 years ago, and that was a problem.

Perhaps if they focused on making web apps as capable as native apps first, it would have been a viable platform.

No, this has already happened in other referendums, people 'boycott it' or don't vote.

Why would anyone but 'supporters' even vote in an unofficial referendum?

As it happened in Venezuela and many other places:

Three years ago there was a “poll” that was organised nominally by non-gubernamental organisations. Turnout was small and control on who voted or how many times was also not great. It was closer to a demonstration, but of course didn´t have any binding result.

The last time I was in Los Angeles, I found a building with a pink wall and a constant stream of pretty girls with photographer "friend" taking photos of them. I thought it was quite odd at the time. Apart from being a very well painted wall, I could not see any other photogenic reason why these people would want their photo taken there. But I guess it was one of these selfie-factories. If not particularly intended to be.

Ohh great, 35 years old platform wars in the comments :)

The ZX Spectrum is definitely the most overrated of all of the 8-bits : it had by far the most horrid (all but monochrome !) graphics of the bunch, and few other redeeming qualities (mainly its price). And yet, there's no shortage of reissues, books, and modern worship around it. Nostalgia is a strange thing, sometimes.

The C64's cult following is much better deserved : in spite of its washed out graphics (it doesn't even have a proper red colour!), it did have hardware sprites, a lot of character and of course the SID: the most exquisite sound chip ever made !

But probably the most underrated and best 8-bit of all was the Amstrad CPC :
It had hands down the best graphics of the bunch (Google ZX/C64/CPC screenshots of Operation Wolf, Gryzor, or Stormlord and you'll know what I mean ! Also, check out this recent and jaw-dropping homebrew CPC remake of the Amiga's Pinball Dreams : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVv-oBN6AWA )

The Amstrad was also the only fully standalone one, with its built-in tape deck or disk drive and sharp CRT screen out of the box (the screen also doubled as a PSU, and provided proper RGB connectivity, unlike the mushy Composite output of the C64 or ZX on the home TV)

IIRC, the C64 sold 17 million units, the various ZX variants 5 million, and the Amstrad 3 million.
The markets were quite local : the C64 was king in Germany and northern Europe, the CPC was strongest in France (where nobody had ever seen a Speccy ever, and hardly any C64s) and Spain (together with the Spectrum, but not the C64)

Why the British had this strange fascination with the Spectrum and mostly ignored their also-homegrown and vastly superior Amstrad, is a topic of great puzzlement and affliction to me.

And I'm totally not saying that out of spite that the publisher of the gorgeous "Visual Compedium" retro book series, was worried that the Amstrad was "too niche" when I suggested to him that he should do one for the 8 bit with the best graphics (because let's face it, "ZX Spectrum : a Visual Compedium" is kind of an oxymoron). The latest book he had just released was about the Neo Geo. Talk about niche ...
The subtlety that arrow functions are different would bite you anywhere in javascript, including vanilla. It should come up if you read the MDN documentation on this or arrow functions.
I think a lot of comments here are missing a tacit point of the article. It took 30 years for this recent "breakthrough" to happen. Nobody has figured out how to use deep learning to develop the next breakthrough in AI beyond deep learning. Therefore, What happens after we run out of novel applications of deep-learning?
A couple major releases ago. To be fair, most of this isn't new, but other problems had precluded my ability to move for a long time to enjoy these features. For example, the app we developed at my workplace was painfully unusably slow in Firefox (even slower than Edge sometimes!)

I also previously had problems with single tabs causing stuff to lock up or at least respond slowly. This happened with SoundCloud a couple times. Seems good now!

Nightly always helped a bit, but I had trouble with that too. This nightly has yet to crash once across the 4 computers and 2 Android devices I've installed it to, so I'm very impressed. I previously used LastPass which broke several times on Nightly builds in the past. Since then I've migrated to 1password, an unrelated but definitely pleasant change for using Firefox.

But mostly, boy those perf improvements are real. Side by side, it's hard to believe how fast performance changed between versions.

The US (and probably UK) don't want a Kurdish state formed out of the Kurdish areas of A Iraq because because, Syria, Iran, and Iraq have been united in opposing Kurdish separatism, and even if Iraq gets okay with it, a Kurdish state encourages separatists in Iran, Syria, and Turkey, and drives Syria and, more importantly, Turkey into deeper alignment with Iran.

Ideologically, the US and UK might support the Kurds goals, but geopolitically they do not. And geopolitical, especially with the US, trumps ideals in the Middle East.
I'm not an expert, but I think it goes like this: ipfs, similarly to torrent, is p2p. Given an address (that's a hash for the file), your client will look for other peers that have the file, and get it from them. Unless they find all the peers holding the file or start blocking ipfs traffic, there's little they can do to prevent access.

...except for Google.com, which still hardcodes it to Chrome (doesn’t even seem to work in Chromium there for me).
AFAIK, donations to Mozilla Foundation can't actually fund development projects by Mozilla Corporation (like Firefox, etc.)

The best way to help them out is to help get the marketshare back up, so that the next time they sign a contract for the default search provider, they have more negotiating power.
last time I checked it was nothing more then a PoC. Firefox was missing.
> The /suspicion/ at least, has plenty of merit.

Merit? I've seen no merit whatsoever. A vague conspiracy theory, that's what I've seen.

> I trust Snowden's opinion as much as anyone here, but you can't ignore basic precautions simply because someone is popular for "the right reasons".

What you propose doesn't fall under basic precautions; it is a conspiracy theory. And one consisting of very little theory, I'm afraid.

For the record your two quotes:

"I'm suspicious of this."

"For those of you who are down voting, perhaps you could explain why this case might be different from any other value hype. What happened to trust no one--verify?"

You're trying to shift the blame. The burden of proof lies at you.

What makes in-line TLS difficult is that the NIC has to understand the TLS framing and the TCP segmentation for TSO. On top of that, what do you do if you have a re-transmission. The NIC has to re-download the entire 16KB TLS frame to re-send just a 1448b portion of it. So there are some challenges in terms of being able to find the entire TLS record, making sure to reference the entire thing so that it is all still there, etc. The "1 mbuf per TLS record" work I've done will make that a bit simpler, I hope.
> I wouldn't group Snowden with Assange, Greenwalk, and Manning

A line in the same vein as such others we've heard before:

"Schwartz doesn't count because he gave up."

"For Assange it's mostly about himself, and a little bit about anonymity."

"Kim Dotcom doesn't rank with the likes of ... because he's a profiteering off of it."

These lines attack the Free Information movement by peeling off those at its edges one by one.
Ok that's better than if only currently-residing people were allowed to vote. The argument stands for Catalans living elsewhere in Spain.

But I grant that "you're allowed to vote if you can vote in the General elections as a resident of one of the four Catalan provinces" is probably as fair as one can practically get when designing this.
Can they? I don't think you'd get the same situational awareness that you can with e.g. blinking warning lights. And many of them have both measures and controls integrated into a schematic of the system, something that would be impractically small on an ipad.

The first Firefox release with multiprocessing work was one of the 3.6 ones where they shipped out of process plugins in a patch release. Judging by Wikipedia, that was 3.6.4 in 2010 (look for OOPP). I thought it was later…

Having to break legacy extensions due to internal changes is understandable. It would have reduced stress for the users if the new API was shipped first, then the changes made and the old one broken, though. Heck, they even thought of it first and did that - you may remember Jetpack. It never picked up steam because the APIs were too limited and too many people ended up resorting to the old APIs, though. Even now with WebExtensions they're shipping lots of new API extensions want in the same release that drops support for the old ones…

Oh, and they had multiple breakages as more and more things went out of process, not one giant one. That's life, really; things take time to build. I believe part of the pushback is that people just finished porting to e10s only to find that their new code will need to be rewritten again for WebExtensions.

- Computational trinitarianism, or how 1.) propositions as types, 2.) programs as proofs, and 3.) the relation between type theory and category theory are one and the same thing [0]

- Scott aaronson's excellent "Why Philosophers Should Care About Computational Complexity" [1]

- "From Philosophy to Program Size" by Greg Chaitin. Arguably Chaitin's work (notably Chaitin's omega) is a quintessential example of what lies at the intersection of mathematics, computation, and philosophy.[2]

- From the inimitable Juergen Schmidhueber, "Driven by Compression Progress: A Simple Principle Explains Essential Aspects of Subjective Beauty, Novelty, Surprise, Interestingness, Attention, Curiosity, Creativity, Art, Science, Music, Jokes" [3]

- A computational biology paper that presents a meta-learning scheme for cognition and emotion. This paper's idea has really stuck with me.. That and the whole notion of the "Dark room problem" (you could, probably, really easily come up with a strategy for living life according to a hybrid of what this article presents + any kind of philosophy there is) - "Emotional Valence and the Free-Energy Principle" [4]

I counted 14 of 22 that integrated dials or instruments into a diagrammatic structure of the system; it could be more that I couldn't see from the zoom level. The degree to which instruments (and especially, status lights it looks like) were integrated into diagrams was the most interesting thing.
It's a Paul Smith store and it wasn't intentional (though it has since been embraced for what it is by the brand), per a similar piece last month in the Ringer "Can Real Life Compete With an Instagram Playground?":

> Late one Wednesday morning in July, a crowd of tourists began to form on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Their location of interest was the Paul Smith store, but not what was in it. The large modernist building, with its sunny corner location, single rectangular window, and striking bubblegum-pink painted wall, happens to make an excellent portrait backdrop.

> Though the menswear designer has never commented on the phenomenon, it’s safe to say that he did not imagine his California-pink shoebox would one day function as the site for thousands of amateur photo shoots. (Especially since it does not appear to have improved sales at his store.) Nevertheless, the Paul Smith brand appears to have recognized its power as a free marketing opportunity.

Not OP, but I'd wager that one factor is that Mellanox has high-quality, well-maintained (by Mellanox themselves), open-source drivers for their 100 GbE NICs in the FreeBSD kernel.

I'm not sure if the Chelsio cxgbe driver supports 100 GbE yet (I don't think it does) and I'm pretty certain that there aren't yet any drivers for any 100 GbE NICs from any of the others. I don't have a need for anything close to 100 GbE so I haven't really kept up on this so there could be by now but, even if there are, Mellanox was first.

A team from Cambridge wrote an interesting paper for SIGCOMM 2017 "Disk|Crypt|Net: rethinking the stack for high performance video streaming" The main gain they get out of netmap, etc, is tighter latencies which allows them to make more effective use of DDIO (I/O caching in L3) to free up memory bandwidth. However, their results are on synthetic workloads, and the general feeling is that we would not see nearly as much of a benefit in the "real world".

Ask HN: Corp-2-Corp vs W2 Work in San Francisco / Bay Area
I have over 20 years experience in over 10+ languages, tools frameworks. Active on github and open source also.

Trying to make a lot of $$ in next 5 years and quit the rat race.

Everywhere I apply for contract jobs, the recruiter / person with job says they can only do W2 and not independent 1099 or corp 2 corp contract.

I don't need benefits (have it from my partner) and W2 rates are much less than Independent 1099.

So what's the deal ? Why do recruiters and firms insist on W2 in Bay Area?

Also how do I set my W2 rate vs my C2C expectation.

Ex: If my 1099 / Independent rate is 100 $ / hour, what would the equivalent W2 rate be, so I don't lose money?
Thank you for asking for those :-)

> I do not agree that pre-selling a purely functional token is necessarily an offering of securities under Howey or otherwise. If the protocol is already specified, and the token has clear utility.

I agree it's not necessarily going to be deemed a security, and I am not a lawyer, but from my reading of Howey and related decisions I would say whether an instrument is deemed a security will come down to how it was marketed and what the general expectation and intent of the purchasers seemed to be. Since Howey emphasizes that only the function of the instrument matters, not the form, I would say that even if a cryptocurrency has use value, it could still be deemed a security if a large fraction of its purchasers mainly expect to achieve a passive profit by buying it.

Something I have always imagined doing was to build 'paneling' for lab that followed the theme of a control room like this. At Google we discussed making the inside of a conference room appear to be a shuttle in flight. (it was possible as it had no windows.) We figured we could build a slightly interior wall (maybe 3" thick) and rig up panels with various micro processors and left over displays from the Android project. It probably would have been a $20,000 conference room if we had done it. :-)
