Hi!

I'm the author of RedFI, it's part of an ongoing initiative to create an open-source platform for fault injection, in a staging area. Also to make it part of the Continuous Integration process.

So this is just the start.
I would love to get your feedback!
Some schools also make promises. I went to a school that said that I couldn't get a scholarship the first semester, but that as long as I had over a 3.0 I could get one the following ones. I always had over a 3.0 and never got one (always given "yeah, you can apply", but then a run around until the deadline was past), even when I had several above 3.5. This happened to every person I know that transferred to the university. Transfer students (who did community college first), paid about the same as those that attended all 4 years.
Very likely... I'll take a look, but so far, you're the only person who has done that
To be completely fair to both sides though, the ability to tweak MacOS from terminal has always felt like it was opposed by Apple. They don't seem to support it officially in any capacity, and in many respects, actively fight it (i.e. changing the preference keys in every single release of MacOS, for literally no reason).

You can do some things to and with MacOS from CLI. Honestly though, it's all stuff I wouldn't miss awfully.

C-16 just adds gender identity to the list of identities you're already not permitted to discriminate or advocate violence against (race, color, ethnicity, religion, age, sex, disability). It does not prohibit debate over pronouns. Go read it: http://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/bill/C-16/royal-as...
For what it's worth, the first question it recommended to me was the first question I asked in my most recent interview. So good job picking out a question that felt relevant to me.
That's disappointing, where did you read this? The images on apple.com show socketed RAM, which suggests to me that it might be possible to open the unit:

I was kinda hoping that'd be the case, as it would be a welcome change from my 2012 iMAC, which is glued shut and limping along on a HDD.
These boards contain mostly surface mounted devices. This isn’t a TV from the 80s. You can’t just go in and solder things, even if you have the schematics.

The pro market doesn’t care about that anyway, they just get AppleCare.
Would be interested in reading a writeup once you've been there for say 6-12 months.

What about using the ICO tokens as a sort of gift certificate for your product at a later date?

Isn't that what Brave did with the BAT ICO?
Not directly related, but Microsoft just released a new language for developing quantum languages, Q#, which doesn't seem to be related at all. I hope this doesn't cause too much confusion.
the #1 question you should ask in an interview is, how many people have left the team or the company in the last year as a percentage of the whole. That will tell you about the retention. In my many years of experience, I've noticed that people tend to stay at companies they like. If a company is loosing more people, it reflects quite poorly on the company.
This is pretty neat! From the hiring side, I'd love to be able to use the same Culture Queries UI to list our company's key values and instead of getting a list of interview questions, get a list of tactics to improve or implement these cultural shifts.
I wonder if you were to declare an intent to establish a new nation in the Antarctic (say by purchasing some of Chile's land) and to fund raise for fees associated with this new nation you offered to sell people dollars of your soon-to-be currency at some fixed price below the expected value, would the SEC disapprove of such an action?

(assuming it was actually done in good faith and not discernibly a scam)
GopherJS is _not_ an emulator. Saying that it emulates a 32-bit environment means that `int` (which is architecture-specific in Go) is 4 bytes (compared to 8-bytes on amd64), and means that int64 is supported and does what you expect.

As a counterexample -- it is not possible to have a 33 LOC example that uses goroutines to only expand to 44 LOC. GopherJS goes to extremes to make sure that your Go code works as expected in the browser.
My instinct is no - I don't think the allegations against Trump fell away because Hillary was compromised over them, I think they failed because, well, not enough voters cared. Which is part of what inspired the Women's March and so on.

That said, it's a fascinating thought exercise to wonder where President Clinton would be today, if the same sexual assault revelations happened. As the first female President married to someone accused of various sexual improprieties I suspect it would be a very difficult needle to thread.
> Nobody is saying that crytocurrencies 'in general' are going to be declared securities.

I agree with you, but the fact is plenty of people do. Maybe not in the corner of the world, but look broader. This also wasn't the point.

bitcoin futures market is making it more main stream. futures might lead to an etf which would explode the value.
Yeah, this always existed but the magnitude is so much greater for so many more people now because companies are staying private longer.

I think it's healthy to just let vesting mean you get to take it with you, period, no catch. But it's worth noting this means there will be fewer options returned to companies in comparison to the last boom. Scott Kupor made this point although he framed it in a poor way.[1] He notes that it will in theory result in more dilution for employees that stay.

Good news is that atomic cross-chain swaps[1] will soon be possible, although even today you could presumably use ShapeShift or Changelly to convert from ETH to BTC while we all wait for BTC-ETH Lightning atomic cross-chain swaps to mature.

Codice Software's main product appears to be PlasticSCM; they've done a bit of marketing here on HN without catching much interest.

I disagree. You'll end up with new languages using the names of older languages. Besides, software can at some point be done.

This is brilliant satire because I can’t tell if it is truly satire or if it’s not.

Leaning towards “satire” based on your last sentence.

Let us all know if I was right.
As nice of a story it makes, those people are the exceptions. For the vast overwhelming majority of the population, secondary -> post-secondary -> graduate studies (last one optional) is the best path to "success". Those people who are able to succeed even after dropping out are the types of people who, even if they were enrolled in a small, no-name community college, would still be able to succeed, not because of their education but rather because of their personality and drive.
Use a temporary email.
The presentation of the facts is simple hyperlinking to the actual discussions, to disagree with which is bizarre, to say the least.

After propounding a non-existent concept of "obsolete as a Debian package" you are proceeding to propound an equally nonsensical concept of removing runit-run whilst not removing runit-run. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/runit-run is really quite clear and unambiguous.

And that conspiracy theory is a straw man of your own making, too. As is indeed the commentary on "the ways that Debian developers make their decisions" which are your opinions not anyone else's. You have a lot to learn and you're getting a lot of things quite wrong.

The application process is pretty easy, they do not require high school diploma or something to start. The main thing is to manage your study, build routine. Most people just leave on the way not because the topics are super hard - the first year is easy - self study require self organisation and discipline, particularly if you work full time. First year I took 120 points like to cover full time first year study. Next years I took just half 60 points thus making left 2 years into 4. It is much more manageable.

On the third year you can choose from the variety of subjects: applied maths like fluids, optimisation, etc., pure maths, statistics related, and physics related. Very fun, but challenging.
It is the board's job to appoint the CEO. There are subcommittees formed to do this, which the existing CEO usually stays away from, because in almost all cases there is a reason the CEO is stepping away/being made to step away in the first place.

Heck even in Steve Jobs' retirement letter (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2011/08/24Letter-from-Steve-J...) he didn't appoint Tim Cook CEO but rather "strongly recommended" him to the board.
seamless* but I knew what you meant. :)
Hm. I'll try to debug that, thanks for telling me.

Key Values helps job-seeking engineers find teams that share their values.

Down the line, it's possible I'll always take a placement fee, but not set yet.
Eva aired in Japan in 1995, and basically any and all anime fans of the late 90's were using torrents and fansubs to watch shows (including me, since I was living in the states at that point in my life).
> Willie Brown was/is the Donald Trump of San Francisco.

Wait, what? How is that analogy supposed to work?

Willie Brown : San Francisco :: Donald Trump : ???

Donald Trump is a born-wealthy real estate developer that eventually entered electoral politics, first holding office at an age when people are more likely to retire from electoral politics than begin a career.

Willie Lewis Brown, Jr., was born in segregated Texas, first worked as a shoe-shine boy, became a lawyer, and shortly went into politics, serving 30+ years in the Assembly, about half of it as Speaker. (And a while as kingmaker when the Republicans held a slim majority.)

Trump is perceived as an anti-establishment political figure, Brown was the California political establishment, even when other people held higher offices in the State (and even in the interruption in his time as Speaker.)

Other than both being men, I can't see much that they have in common that would justify the analogy you suggest. They are more opposites than analogs.

It's just Bitcoin with a bigger maximum block size setting. Don't see how that makes it a scam.
In that case it sounds like you have a bone to pick with Rob Pike over Go. I suppose you can find him on Twitter if you want to settle your feud. I'd suggest to not bother when I have him on tape contradicting you.

I did read Joe's blog, years ago. Your takeaway there also leaves you with a bone to pick with Microsoft, if it's just politics then you should be able to find someone in management at Microsoft to set straight. It'd be a real shame if there were no performance issues and it was shutdown due to politics alone.
That is amazing. Which one was it?!
The new iMac Pro is certainly a lovely machine. An iMac is a nice desktop machine, keeping all in a very neat package. The iMac Pro now adds some serious compute power. Of course, you pay for the slim package by not being able to freely upgrade components like with a tower pc. However, that does not explain, why there is no way to get into the machine at all. Getting to the RAM, the SSD and most importantly, being able to clean the fans should be possible. But even certified repair shops have to re-glue the screen into the machine after accessing the internals. This is just plain unacceptable.
What happens when it raises a flag? Will the person get a pat-down? This will disproportionately have negative impact on people with medical implants and whatnot.

Hey there, everyone! I'm the PM for this project, and it looks like I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to drop in some notes to add to the discussion:

* we also shipped OpenSSH's sshd server, but it's a little tricky to configure right now. Expect a blog post this week.
* This is not production-ready in the current version of Windows 10 (hence the "(Beta)" in the label), but we hope to be soon.
* All of this is being done in open-source out of a fork at https://github.com/powershell/Win32-OpenSSH (code work is technically checked into https://github.com/powershell/openssh-portable/ first, but those will be consolidated at some point). Check the Wiki there for a ton of info.
* We've been working closely with the official OpenSSH Portable maintainers to get upstream at some point in the future. They've been awesome to work with so far, and we're really looking forward to moving Windows onto the definitive SSH implementation of the world.

This is been a super fun project to work on over the last couple years, and I'm glad that there's such a groundswell of excitement around it. Like I said, I hope to be publishing a lot more documentation/material on our plans as we get to a production-ready state.

I've also been super swamped with the release of PowerShell Core 6.0 [1] for Windows/macOS/Linux coming early next year, hence the lack of a good release announcement on these beta bits...Thanks to Patrick Kennedy for finding it and letting everyone know! :) )

> For a $5000 Pro machine, that's disappointing.

That's an understatement.
As a physics student I always hated quantum optics. IMHO the by far least intuitive field in undergrad physics. I never got. Not even a bit. Circuits, Special relativity and quantum physics in the context of atoms was so much more approachable to me. I mean, I like physics. I wonder why optics is so different.

In the end all I did was learning some standard configurations of optical instruments. That and ray optics made me pass. Of course i forgot almost everything almost instantly.

I really love the idea to get a better intuition for what is going on by a game.

By level 30 I thought I understood how the Faraday rotator works in this game. In level 32 I feel like my solution should work, but it doesn't. It behaves completely different that I think it should. The help page don't help me at all.

I'd like to see some "debug" mode where I can freeze time and inspect the quanta.

Also I feel that the simulation sometimes "gives up" too early, and i can't see why something isn't working because it ends too early.

I hope you mean realize that merchants eat the fee and are contractually not allowed to offer discounts for cash payments. And many of them are not happy about this situation.
Intel 64 and IA32 Architectures Performance Monitoring Events [pdf]
IMHO this is one of those things that only experience can help with. Nobody wants to be the guy adopting a single-use codebase to a somewhat different problem and having to rewrite half of it, but overgeneralizing from the start leads to complex and bloated programs that are hard to deploy anywhere--where the effort to deploy it is about half as much as it would have required to write a custom solution from scratch...

My personal philosophy is to keep the dependencies to a minimum and make judgement calls on simplicity versus generality. I probably err on the side of simplicity a little too often, but I also get asked to deploy solutions on non-internet connected devices fairly often. Solutions that you can deploy out of a tarball on a base CentOS 5.5 machine are good sometimes.
Huh.. the LLC thing is a smart idea.. Seems rational for employees to start their own LLCs for the purpose of buying their options. Maybe the could group together.

I've not heard any reason why these ICOs are any different than any other security. Simply being "on a computer" never should have been enough for patents, and it most definitely isn't enough here.
> It’s looking like the only way forward is running my own CA to mitm all encrypted traffic.

Correct. Middleboxes should be presumed hostile; if you control the endpoints you can install a MITM CA, but it's safer to put what you want directly on the endpoint.
If you're only focusing on the costs of compliance, then you're looking at the wrong thing.

"Coin offerings do not have to fall in the tens of millions of dollars."

The amount of money does not matter; a scam is a scam.

"For companies on this scale, having to hire a legal team to ensure compliance is a significant burden."

That sucks for them. But the alternative is far, far worse.

"A coin offering instead of angel investors could have been an interesting option for a similar company now a days."

Why? If the only reason is that they don't have to comply with the reporting and transparency regulations, then it's not a good reason.

"But you have to balance the cost of compliance with the expected results."

Why? And, quite frankly, why should an ICO be treated any differently than any other security? They are exactly the same; and have absolutely nothing differentiating them from traditional securities.

"How will this effect the rate of perfectly up and up ICOs that are not made available to US investors?"

I'm going to say it won't. Perfectly up and up ICOs will be able to get compliance, and will thus be open to all.

That an agency was necessary when it was created - and that it has done good in the intervening time - is not in itself a sufficiently compelling reason for it to continue to exist.

In this particular case, I think it's clear that the SEC (as well as the FDA, to which it is being compared throughout this thread) will be decreasingly necessary as our species moves into the information age.
"Why can't we have the regulations without the financial burdens?"

Ellen Pao and the Myth of Meritocracy
Again: you're suggesting that when we talk about the interests of rich financiers, we're talking about the VCs. I'm sure not. If there's a financial power center to be concerned about, it's Goldman Sachs, not Sequoia. The fact that ICOs might somehow impact some tiny corner of the finance industry doesn't matter if it's going to juice things for the giant investment banks.
Are you arguing that beanie babies and comic books are securities? How about bars of gold?

They are certainly speculation. But I doubt the SEC would ever claim that literal bars of gold (not notes, physical bars of gold) are securities.
Ask HN: How should I use my employer-provided annual growth fund?
People in my company usually use the growth fund to attend conferences - I didn't and am looking for ways to use them. The expense must be _very_ relevant for my job as a software engineer and my growth in that position (e.g. conferences, technical books, online courses) (non e.g. electronic gadgets, cooking classes, expensive mechanical keyboards, 4K monitors).

I've got ~$1000 left on my growth fund. I'm thinking about purchasing couple of technical books and maybe online courses (on golang/elixir). Do you have any recommendations on useful things I can spend my growth fund on?
I mean they made a Movie spinoff from the show, so it was sufficiently popular at the time. It didn't have mass appeal staying power a la Eva or Geass, but the former is an outlier and the latter was made in an era where the production companies became much more sophisticated about fan cultivation and pre planned media mixing.
At the time I wanted to manage my only Windows box remotely, and from mobile devices that had nothing but ssh and vnc. (SSH being the clear winner there.)

Software can also fade into irrelevance, which is what has happened to Joy.
It wasn't too many years ago that the best minds of our generation were engaged in trying to reverse engineer a popular text document format (that remains ubiquitous to this day). In each case, it's a shame we haven't built a better climate of collaboration, but capitalism doesn't reward sharing, it rewards risk and sometimes artificial scarcity.
I'd say it doesn't, and that's precisely why it might be a fertile ground for new mathematics. Like it was with e.g. complex numbers, aka. "let's assume that this thing, which clearly doesn't make sense, exists, and let's consider how it behaves".

I'm currently not charging for my service, so I decided that asking for an email address was fair. I was torn about how many questions to give "for free." I started with 9, but went down to 6 since I don't think interviewees have enough time to ask more than 2-5 questions in an interview any way.

Fair enough though. I'm also very stingy with my email address. Thanks for the feedback!
Well the size of industry was much smaller than it is today. Java kind of replaced or used in first place where people would have used C/C++ etc. Same is true for Go as lot of container/devops, cloud etc infrastructure is written in Go which would most likely be in Java.

Among the languages that came in last 10 years Go is most popular with exception of maybe Swift.

So compare to marketing juggernaut Java with billions sunk in by leading enterprise vendors Go is nowhere. But among non corporate driven language Go is definitely on top.

I have a bag of Huel in my kitchen gathering dust because I just couldn't get past the consistency of it(the little chunks of oats or whatever). Also the name reminds me of "Human Gruel" meanwhile everyone I say it to immediately thinks "Human Fuel", which I think is amusing. I guess my brain burned the connection to those two words after trying the stuff for a couple weeks!
Bitcoin doesn't produce anything of use to most people. I can already transfer my money from my bank to a merchant with quite low fees.

Even in Africa, the possibility of phone-based money allows people to do this.

Bitcoin's risks don't balance its benefits for most users of currency and basically, it's a currency or a "technology", it's simply a unique commodity akin to art or Tulips. I mean, if the bubble was tulips today, I could sell them as "unique biotechnological value-preservation technologies". But that wouldn't change the well known financial/psychological/social dynamics involved.
