These are already taxpayer funded, but without the advantage of collective bargaining.

It looks like they enjoy creating it instead of making it popular for the end users. Google+ is a good example.
Ok that makes sense. I'm resisting to urge to hack my Vivosmart.
Does an enum have any performance or consistency benefits over 1 or 3? (I discount 2 because it seems like the worst possible option.)

It would seem like 1 is essentially an ad hoc enum with the same guarantees and 3 is just a bit easier to use as you can have the enum defined in your code rather than SQL.
Local businesses can't shoot your dog or take your kids and say "oops, take it to court if you don't like it" (well they can, it'll just work out very, very badly for them).

Remember that judges read a whole lot of boring legalese every day. They enjoy it when it is slightly less boring.

Moreover, the a lot of that legalese is generated directly or indirectly by the propensity of chancers with lawyers launching frivolous suits. So if I was a judge, I would be quite happy to read a nice explanation of how silly the plaintiff is being.

Depends. 99+% of people seeking a motorcycle license already have a normal driver's license for cars. That's the standard system whereby they can ride alone after some preliminary test. They already know how to drive on the roads. But it is possible to start with a motorcycle without first having a car license. Such people are subject to a blended version of the graduated system for car drivers, with the addition of various motorcycle restrictions. I've seen a couple people do this (kids who buy a bike while in highschool). I would not recommend it.

Stable Libraries–on the crazy idea that sometimes a library might just be… done
1. I am also uncomfortable about this
I'm (honestly just a little) surprised there's no mention of Scoobi, who just launched in Pittsburgh. [0] Other than an opening weekend issue involving a few friends "terrorizing" them [1] they seem to be successful. I've seen several folks riding on them, many parked (legally, thanks to an agreement with the city), and none the worse for wear.

Personally, I'm going to try one, on a weekend, before I brave the jagoffs of rush hour.

Adaptive high beams are on Audi now, they are awesome. Weather API connected wipers? Bad idea, rain sensing already works, why use an API when you never turn on wipers before it rains anyway? Radar view for surrounding cars might be a nice gimmick but other than blind spot detection or parking assist, I’m not sure what benefit a radar display would have, unless it’s for parking, and an equivalent exists (Audi for example has 360 degree parking cameras and some cars have full autonomous parking already.)

But the fly-by-wire concept could be a good one — if reliability is ultra high.
> I want to be candid about this, honesty is the best policy.

Does the YC application actually ask you if you have a felony conviction? If so, I think the best bet is to be honest. But if they don't ask about it, I don't see why you'd need to volunteer that kind of information.

Sounds like you've come a long way. Good luck with your future!

I worked for a now defunct company that was making $7mm/year doing this. With only 4 people on payroll.
I had the DND sign up when I was in the room. But when I left, I took it down so the room could be cleaned. Nobody other than the cleaning staff came in my room and they did a good job (I have video!) I was not visited by security. I had tools including soldering irons and 2-way radios in my room.

If you don't allow the cleaning staff in the room at least once a day, someone from Security will check the room.

Don't create drama when it's not needed. Worry about important things.
Privacy is an integral part of security - one cannot have security without privacy! Witness the various locations (eg the hotel in the article) that treat a small encroachment on their privacy as a security threat!

What has severely muddied the water is the term "security" has been bandied about by governments (and other large centralized entities) to refer to their own security, often at at the expense of our security. In order to sell the lie, we're encouraged to think that their security implies our security, which is obviously bullshit when you look at the positions their various security measures actually put us in - eg bunched up, undressed, split up, and disassembled in the airport groping line.
Unemployment is low, but the jobs at the lower end are still jobs that don’t pay a living wage. Credit card, auto loan, and student debt defaults are rapidly rising. Home prices have accelerated away from incomes that can support them.

While I appreciate your view on my perspective, it comes from careful analysis of macroeconomic data, as well as discussing the issues with citizens who would eventually be my constituents when I run in the next election cycle.
Agreed.

1. Security is usually a knee jerk reaction to something that has happened and rarely correctly addresses the full problem scope, just one specific edge case that was experienced. This typically happens because people over weight the probability of such an event happening to them, due to the short nature of it and lack of control. In contrast to 9/11, you won't see nearly the funding or awareness of some of the largest killers, such as obesity, cancer, US-based violence, alcohol, opioids, etc.

2. Anybody correctly motivated can bypass said security, because it is never well thought out and doesn't cover all possible scenarios. With some time and some know-how, any individual could defeat TSA (or any other Countries) security. At the moment the only benefit is those who seek to terrorize Western society are usually desperate or ill funded.

3. Security tends to lure people into a false sense of security, so people in general are just as secure as they were, because they stop being aware of insecurities. There is a study showing that Countries with and without bicycle helmets have roughly the same number of deaths - the reason being that drivers recognize cyclists without helmets as being more vulnerable, hence going to greater lengths to avoid collision.

To the point, all of these cameras are unlikely to make us more secure. What they will do on the other hand is lend themselves to abuse by government or corporate entities to any extent they think they can get away with.
When you're in a place that is actually unsafe, where people get assaulted for being different, that's a difficult ask. I went to a safe space first. And due to the magic of the internet (and telling my parents) people definitely know. The culture has changed enough to where it IS safe now to come out in that community (the worst that will happen is you get put into a camp, unlikely assaulted other than at school), but it wasn't then - the ADULTS would come after you. The first thing I heard after I came out was "don't tell anyone, I don't want anyone firebombing my house".

People weren't unenlightened because LGBT people were hiding, LGBT people were hiding because of a fear of violence and ostracization. Only when it became unacceptable to be violent towards people did they change, and that's a slow process. Only then can you effect any change. There are braver people than I who stayed in those situations, but most of them were also a lot better at fitting in with the community in the first place.
It depends.

Have I rewatched every video I own enough times to offset the cost of renting it for each time I've watched it? Overwhelmingly "no". Not even close. Rentals of even new things are a couple bucks, DVDs are often $20 or more. I'm quite free to lend stuff out too, but it's still <1 on average and even if you include "every lend == the full cost to buy it on launch day" I'm still in the negative. Most people I've run into who would be interested already have it or have already watched it.

Add in that the stuff I do rewatch is relatively old and rent-able for dirt cheap, and it's even more "no". There are a literal handful I'd buy, that's it.

Same pattern with books, except that odds are pretty good that the library has a copy of it :) And even slightly not-super-famous books are pretty likely to be new to people I lend to because there are so many. (technical books are another matter, they're frequently not in libraries, but there too I've only reread a couple that are meaty enough to actually justify more than one pass)

---

Books I still keep buying, especially since much of what I read for fun is somewhat old and available for extremely cheap. But I haven't bought a movie in... a decade? And I feel zero desire to do so.
Delay slots are merely the pipeline of the uarch peeking through, its bad practice because you'll probably want to change the pipeline depth at some point. Other uarchs have them but they hide them from the public API.

VLIW only removes the logic to detect data dependency - it doesn't workaround the actual need to wait for data to be ready.

None of this has much to do with speculative execution which is guessing which way a branch will go. You simply can't have what would be considered a modern computer without it.

Yeah those are all pretty poor examples.

My question was specifically of why they were spawned from Match which was what the OP stated. They were not actually spawned from Match they were actually incubated under IACs Hatch [1].

Mars produces different chocolate bars for different markets Milky Way was a US product while Mars was an English product. Both Tinder and Match exist in the same markets.

Facebook owns multiple social networks b/c they were a threat to their business. Those are actually different products. The main differentiator between Tinder and Match is the Tinder is mobile-centric. FB did not spin up a separate start up under a different name when it launched it's mobile version did it? No because it had well-established brand awareness much like Match.

Apple also didn't produce a second company to launch the iPhone X did it? No because it had well-established brand awareness much like Match.

So yeah not so obvious.

>Bitcoin charges something like $4 per transaction lately, and they take on the order of a day to process. It's unstable, and it's confusing to most people.

"Bitcoin" is a protocol, like TCP or HTTP. It does not charge anything.

You may as well have said "SMTP charges monthly access fees".

The miner's accept transactions and prefer ones with the higher fee. User chooses their fee in accordance with how fast they want some miner to pick it up.

Note that this clogged, congested network is due to Bitcoin Core (BTC) being crippled at 1MB block size ... this is not inherent to the _bitcoin protocol_ itself.

This can be seen with Bitcoin Cash (BCH) where the block size is 32MB (and will be soon 128MB) where the median fee is less than 0.005 USD (half a cent) for pretty much guaranteed confirmation within the next block (10 minutes or so).

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is the only "crypto" that now actually implements p2p electronic cash system ... as a chain of digital signatures as described in Nakamoto's original paper and original implementation.

Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin.
It's definitely a worthy endeavour, but I am hoping that this does not become the sole proof to try to indict someone. Recent exposés around the efficacy of various forensic techniques and their applications for convictions (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/forensic-tools-wh...) have shown them to be sometimes less reliable than thought and the experts at times overly confident in their results.
There is an overlap between ownership and access.

Reduced access is bad.

Reduced ownership is bad only if it leads to reduced access.

I have a lot of books here at home that I haven't read in a long time. If I didn't own them that would not affect me in any way, since their resell value is very low. My exclusive ownership of these books makes them highly inefficient.

Same goes for a lot of stuff that people own but hardly ever use. Owning fewer things is not necessarily bad.

Not even looking at the code:

1. See a BLE connection in place.

2. Get address information.

3. Jam connection.

5. Use observed authentication.
Often used with ARM, why is it never used by default on X86/X64 distros? I would think that the "lightweight" alternative would be lean and mean, kind of like Nginx vs Apache.
"From that perspective, all this "side-channel hide-and-seek" seems like an exercise in futility to add a level of security to something that was inherently not designed for such."

It seems that this SGX thing was designed for such. That's what makes this new attack notable.
512 entries, 12 cycles to refill each entry from L2, at 3GHz that's only 2 microseconds worst case to refill the L1 cache. And that's if you keep the same task in it. If you're switching tasks most of it is going to get evicted anyway.

GCE uses KVM, which defaults to the linux scheduler with time slices from 0.75ms to 6ms, so the extra impact should be negligible. It's possible they tuned it weirdly, but I can't think of any reason to do so.

Flushes that occur from hypervisor calls could possibly have an impact, but those will happen whether you share a CPU or not.
Large-Scale Study of Curiosity-Driven Learning
I've had the same thought. Where is the skepticism coming from?

I've noticed a lot of articles lately that talk about how far off self-driving cars are. That said the articles all seem to rest on one of two arguments. Some (like this article) point to the failure of some startup that most sane people didn't have any faith in. The others point to the small handful of accidents we've had: the one from Uber (which was the result of borderline criminal irresponsibility), and the couple from Tesla (which were the result of drivers not paying attention or and with their hands off the wheels of their emphatically not-self-driving cars). These sheer number of these articles creates the impression that there's a lot more going bad in the field than I think there's any evidence for.

When I try to dig deeper and figure out why these articles are all appearing I can't find anything.

Probably it's just that after all the stories about the amazing future of self-driving cars, this is the next natural story to tell since we don't actually have the self-driving cars yet, but there's definitely a paranoid part of me that thinks some industry group is sponsoring these stories for some reason.
I hadn't really thought about the difference between my security and the Government's security, but the distinction you make is important.

Reliable, Secure and Universal Backup for U2F Token
I have looked into crypto a few times for these kinds of sites - it's been some months, so maybe it's changed, but last I researched telling someone to spend crypto (in/from the US) - was fairly complicated, added many more steps, and actually added more details about you and your shopping to more third parties.

If you have a suggestion for teaching someone how to get crypto in the US and send it to an adult site with less steps than it takes to use a visa/mc and without the end user needing to give up more PII(?) (personally identifying info) to more people (than you would by simply using a visa prepaid card with a single merchant) - then I would really like to know about such a guide.
And another anecdote. Not necessarily “startups” but everytime that I work for a small company, I get to do everything. I’ve learned a lot from working st small companies and small IT departments at larger companies.

I would never have had the experience I have from front end, back end, databases, cloud architecture (I’m one of the AWS admins) from netops, devops, to development and to work directly with C-level people.
This post really resonated with me. First because Sarah is a great writer and I've learned a lot from her posts. Second because I've lost two of my closest friends in the past eighteen months, people I spoke with daily.

It's hard for me to start writing code every day but once I begin I do get away from everything and end up feeling better.
> 1. Once your docker container is built, am I paying to store it on Zeit?

No. You don't need to pay to store containers.

> 2. How is a Dockerfile versioned? Can I update it? Or do I need to redeploy

Once the Dockerfile is built, you'll get a URL for that. It's a immutable URL and you don't need to re-deploy again.
It'll sleep if there are no HTTP requests. If there are it'll start again.

> 3. Is pricing for containers granular by time or per request to a container?

It's based on the container running time. But we'll have a another blog post on this soon with more info.

> 4. How can these Dockerfiles talk to each other? Is there an API or method to fetch specific url's for each container?

There's no internal API to communicate with each other. But every docker container has a URL. You can use our [alias](https://zeit.co/docs/features/aliases) feature and communicate with each other via HTTP.
You should hear our respected PM's (PM Modi) speeches (pick pretty much any) and ruling party's (BJP) statements and you would get used to math and facts not checking out.

I used to think those were just slips and mistakes. It took a couple of years for me to finally understand that those were indeed mistakes but "calculated" ones.

It works like this - you declare "every household will get X by the end of 3rd year" and you know that 80% will be just euphoric to hear that and after 6 months they will forget it was 3 years - they are your fans. Once you say something they take it onto them to defend you and what you said forever, no matter how absurd it was. You will also know that out of remaining 20% like 1-2% will dig into it and out of that 1-2% a minuscule will have the guts and acumen to speak out and if they do that previous 80% will take care of this fractional percentage who speaks out either by drowning their voice with their collective noise or bully or silence them somehow. "Somehow" also includes "non-peaceful" means (very effective in silencing people).

> Get a problem, solve it and move to the next one...

This sounds like what freelancers/consultants do. A company hires them to solve a specific problem, and when it's done, they get a contract at another company.

The downside of this way of life is that you constantly need to look for work and sell yourself. The upside is the variety of experience you get and being your own boss.

If you search HN articles for "freelancer", "freelancing", "consulting", etc., you'll find lots of threads in which people have asked how to get into this kind of work.

There are also full-time employees who have development jobs like this (solving problems and moving on to another project), but those are pretty rare in my experience. Companies that have products/systems to support generally find value in having someone who developed a product continuing to work on it for a while (at least until they can transfer their knowledge to others).
> Optimal use of vCPUs would demand that two VM threads get scheduled to the core to take advantage of HT

It would.

So those cores won't be used optimally. No big deal.
Recently I gave away my linux compute machine and use AWS instead. I can dial up to 400GB of RAM/100 cores when I need to run a major compute job, and dial down to a machine which is 10 cents an hour for 99.0% of my compute time. I get the benefit of owning a 10,000$ machine for a fraction of the cost, approx 80$ a month.

"The erosion of personal ownership and what that will mean for our loyalties to traditional American concepts of capitalism and private property"

If the lament here is for the mountain of garbage that each individual generates in the name of private property, color me not-amused. Think of those broken old DVDs that were used at most once or twice. Think of those cars that sit on parking lots and garages 99% of their lives. Wounding the earth to extract all that resource and burying our future in a carbon cloud. And for what! To hold on to some vague notion of private property like a comfort blanket.

The future is one we have not seen before, of all powerful trillion dollar companies. But the recent past is a hell scape which led to global warming and other atrocities. We should be willing to walk boldly into this unknown future if only for the promise of reducing waste and possibly a better climate future.
Whether it's serverless of not choice of hardware is very important.

For an simple web app, you might not need special CPU and Memory requirements.
But for a video encoding/decoding serverless app may needs different CPU/Memory requirements (and GPU).

That's what this `slot` configuration property does.

The default is good enough for all the general purpose apps. But if you need more, you can control it.
I just recently discovered vuepress looking for a knowledge base solution. Came across Forestry as well so I am really stocked about this news!
