What do you think of my squeeze page
In general, I think if it's the case that you can't reasonably defend a view you don't agree with then there's a very good chance you don't understand it. I was in the same boat as you until I started looking at Pai's comments [1][2][3]. Notably those are all transcripts. What he actually says, and the implications of the headlines and comments snipped by third party organizations tend to be quite different indeed!

While certainly missing plenty of nuance, his view is that rules should be written as necessary instead of creating an enormous rule book based entirely on today's tech. And to some degree, I think this has a lot of merit. Take for instance SpaceX and Google's variations of widespread air-based internet. If the throughput for these systems starts to become an issue would it be so unreasonable for them to throttle or block sites consuming disproportionate resources? And yes, this could absolutely be used in an anti-competitive fashion. What Pai is saying is deal with specific bad behaviors as they arise instead of building an encyclopedia of rapidly dated laws against many actions - which in some cases could be completely justifiable and beneficial.

Maybe the most basic argument is that it should be clear that net neutrality has not really achieved anything. Many people seem to think we always had net neutrality and stripping it away is some radical shift. In reality the government had no formal regulatory role on the internet until 2015. What was the state of the internet beforehand? Has it worsened or improved since then?

I'm not nearly as worried about Facebook as Google. I don't really use Facebook, and it isn't that hard of a service to drop. On the other hand, switching to non-Google search/maps/email is painful, particularly given the benefits of integration these services provide.
Knuth's aphorism on premature optimization is perhaps the most misunderstood point in software development. It applies to code-level algorithmic optimization, not architectural decisions, where a bad choice can lead down a very long dead-end. You can recover if you recognize this in time, but you are better of if you do not have to. Obligatory rewriting is not what you want to be doing just as competitors take notice of your initial success.

Yes, but when Framework B goes sweeping through the world, Framework A doesn't actually go anywhere. People keep working with it.

If software engineers actually burned down all the old code every three years and literally everybody had to learn this new thing in order to do anything at all, this claim would make sense. But it's all additive. Even as we here on HN are shrieking and hooting about Framework B and the way it shines a unique light on the world of programming and how no thinking person could possibly resist its charms, thousands of people keep chugging along on Framework A for years afterwards. In no small part because they've heard it before, and remember that somewhere around the 2 year mark of Framework B's run you can expect well-written and cogent articles about "Framework B Considered Harmful", "Framework B Is Permanently Ruining An Entire Generation Of Programmers", "Why I'm Switching Back To Framework A And Regret Ever Listening To Hacker News" and "Oh Shit, I Bet My Business On Framework B And All My Developers Have Turned Into Feral Wombats And They're Biting Me Ow Ow Ow".

You honestly think that tax avoidance is the cause of the deficit?

Point is, it's not an either or. Let's follow up whatever ways we can find of eliminating the deficit - it's still utterly shameful and wrong that someone should be able to get themselves pregnant and be supported by the state in relative comfort whilst someone that has paid in for decades is refused housing. Your defence is to avoid addressing this and instead deflect by talking about generalities.

I think this is a question everyone who is anti-austerity should ask themselves. It seems like every program labelled 'austerity' marginally cuts social services and benefits instead of actually cutting bloatware programmes (construction, military) that send money to the 1%. And then is declared (usually by the left) to be a failure of the concept of ending deficit spending.
Just curious, why is the testing so expensive? I've seen other products that provide this same testing service and they are all very expensive. Is it because of the hardware required, an ROI thing, a first to market thing, or something else?

>> meaning that energy equivalent to about 1 solar mass was emitted as gravitational waves during the collision.

Was it all emitted as gravity waves? Given the forces I'd assume that some of it may have been emitted as radiation (acceleration/heating of any surrounding matter etc). And I'm waiting for someone to prove that something might even escape from either of the holes during the final spin. There must be a moment where the two event horizons balance each other out + spinning = potential for very strange things. Maybe, like two bubbles merging, some smaller holes could have pealed off.
you pick "something" based on the requirements of the application or whatever solution you're building. if your requirements mention that you need to have multiple people accessing the database at the same time, RDBMS environments like MySQL, Postgres, Oracle would be appropriate. If it is a single application instance with no multi-user access, SQLite might be appropriate. However, if you're choosing SQLite, FileMaker, FoxPro, MS Access, etc and your requirements specify that you needed multi-user access, then you've made a large mistake.
It's more than user preference in the long run; When your schema is encoded in the database (with triggers, constraints, foreign keys, the whole shebang), you can be sure that whichever way you access the database, it is still consistent.

When your schema is "in the code", even if you completely abstract it into a library, it means that the quick-one-off Ruby/Perl/C#/Python script will not have the integrity checks, and may corrupt your DB.

It is impressive to see a new architecture already have so much support for existing software with a relatively simple hardware support layer. It is already standing on the shoulders of giants with millions of man-hours invested in software development to bring it to its current state.

> You’re blaming the drug dealers for people choosing to shoot heroin.

Grade-school libertarianism doesn't apply here. I'm blaming them for using their billions of dollars to pack my government with people like James Inhofe who willingly spread lies and misinformation about a regulatory subject they know nothing about:

http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/234026-sen-inho...

> Take a look at Inhofe's campaign funding. The major source, contributing half a million dollars over the past five years, has been the oil and gas industry... If Inhofe were to change his position on man-made global warming, is it credible that he would retain all this funding? No. He receives money from fossil fuel companies because he articulates the views to which these funders subscribe, and because he advances their interests in the Senate. Given that keeping your seat means spending a fortune on television advertising and other forms of campaigning, changing your views on a matter of great interest to your sponsors is likely to be political suicide.

It's much easier to build an attention app, pull demographic info, sell advertising, than it is to build a product that adds bottom-line value to society. It also seems over the last 10 years or so, there has been lots of "small cash" sloshing around. Early stage employees from the first wave of successful internet companies write small cheques to fund questionable ideas. Taken together with the continued commoditization of the software developer as a job segment and the ability to deploy easily and it's not surprising people don't try particularly hard anymore. It feels like one of the main issues in the valley these days is insular intellectual dishonesty. Sadly, I feel like the same thing is about to happen to tech here in New York.

No, not really. Just about everything we say about black holes is talking only about the exterior, the region of spacetime outside the horizon. The simulations through which we model the merging of two black holes only model the exterior of both. The curvature of this exterior is what gets all churned up during the collision, and some of it ends up travelling off as gravitational waves.

The fact that we can get away with studying only the exterior is really the same fact that the horizon is a horizon. The causality only goes one way, for everything not just for normal matter. And thus ignorance of the interior is no barrier to understanding the exterior.
The article is good. I do not "cover" silicon valley, nor do I live there. But I share the author's thoughts. Rather than solve real/bigger problems, startups are being over-funded for services made to create a market and sell user data, opening doors to misuse without serious monitoring. What a waste.
The starting point is accepting that running a Jar file has dependencies on all platforms.

The simplest thing that might work is instructions for each platform. Windows, Linux, and Mac will all have different requirements.

Yes, it is not one click. If the app is useful, some potential users will live with a little complexity and become actual users. If the app isn't useful, then efforts toward making it easy to install are wasted on premature optimization.

Once there are repeatable and tested instructions for each platform, then those each of the instructions form the outline of a platform specific shell script.

Huh, I need to look into psql using less[0][1]. But having a look at the links it seems running `psql` in `tmux` with `^b[` for back buffer access with vim keys and regex search is how "I solved" this problem.

Note the article you're citing is going from Ada (already strong safety checks, but you can still write bugs, just not a whole class of them) to Spark2014, so formal proof of absence of runtime errors (first) and automated verification of functional properties. Even nicer, in a stdlib, so not a toy example and something to build on... You're showing (thanks !) how to go (with some effort, but not so much) from 'so much safer than C already' to 'no bug let's move on and maybe remove all the runtime checks to get C-like performance or better'. I'd say it looks pretty cool.

because we, mere thousandaires and paupers alike, live in a separate reality from the ultra-wealthy. The rich and poor-and-middle-class might as well be living on different planets. When a benefits cheater somehow gets free housing or spends foodstamps on lobster, we ordinary citizens can see that and relate to that. "That could have been my house or my dinner!" We can see the cheaters on the street and imagine ourselves in their place. We can relate.

But when a faceless corporation we've never heard of hides umptillions in a place we've never heard of, somehow the impact is lost. Ask an average joe on the street the difference between a million, a billion and a trillion and you will be answered with shrugs. We don't see how that money flows from one holding company to another and we fail to connect that to the broader economy, and this illusion has been perpetuated by hidden class of venal, remorseless, well-educated and very smart mercenaries beholden by law and their shareholders to accumulate every last speck of capital.

Having just walked through some basic steps with a novice, I can concur, modern linux is impossible without "recipes".

Just setting up a hello world web app can involve: ssh login to running instance, using curl to download the gcloud sdk, tar to unpack, sudo to install, systemctl to start local processes, useradd dedicated www, chmod and chroot to allow access, rsync to tranfer files, netcat to manage ports, etc.

For beginners, without a trusted hand to guide them, its beyond intimidating. These systems must become more accessible to the average human.

The reason MongoDB is simultaneously lauded and derided is because there is a bimodal distribution of people using it: those who build databases for a living, and those who query them.

There is something to be said for being able to rapidly prototype ideas, especially if your primary skillset is jockeying JSON in the context of web/app development. However, deciding whether or not NoSQL is the right fit for you or your project/business depends on how much of your time you will be spending getting down and dirty with the database.
