While we're whinging about loss of headphone jacks, lets add latency! Apple have always pushed their kit as being friendly for musicians and such. Now try playing an iOS MIDI instrument over bluetooth - with ~200ms delay between you hitting a key and hearing it. Useless and infuriating. So back to the dongle it is. Except of course if you want to charge and listen at the same time (which, you know, tends to happen when you are running a few power-hungry audio apps).

Surely that fines scale with your income make them more even?

Of course a fine may STILL hit harder on someone with less income - but surely this is more "even" than if the rich guy also got a fine of say 500 € which is pocket money for him?
Regarding the angle between (a-b) and b: you can repeat the process until you end up with two vectors that cannot be reduced with respect to one another. Eventually the angle will be between 60 and 120 degrees (because you can always negate a vector which turns an angle of x degrees into 180-x degrees). So this process of basis reduction does not make the angle closer to 60 necessarily, but merely puts the angle somewhere within the [60,120] range

When approximating 60 degrees from below, you will always be able to 'reduce' the length of the vectors (which likely reduces the individual coordinates due to the relation of the infinity norm and the Euclidian norm). This means you will need a different approach to the brute-force than taken in the top-level comment.

Only positive coordinates means that you are restricted to one of the quadrants. I suspect (but do not have time to figure out/prove right now, and it might not be true) that when your lattice contains vectors with optimal angle close to 60 degrees, that you can either rotate or otherwise find an isomorphic lattice that has only positive coordinates in its basis vectors. However, it may just be a side-effect of how the original list was produced.
Or any ad, really. Apple is at least one order of magnitude better at a11y than everyone else in the industry; this is simply a nonsense comment. Nobody else remotely approaches them on this front—it may be their biggest and most unassailable moat, albeit for a tiny market that won’t ever increase in size. It’s one of the most charitable things they do as an organization.
KVM supports Windows just fine, which is why you can run Windows on GCP and Openstack. And Firecracker seems to support enough of a machine to boot Windows as long as the windows instance has support for libvirt disk devices and a libvirt NIC.

However, it seems they boot in a slightly unconventional way. They take a elf64 binary and execute it. This works for Linux and likely some other operating systems that can produce elf64 binaries. Windows supports legacy x86 boot and UEFI, but likely not elf64 "direct boot".

So if you can get windows into an elf64 binary and have it run without a GPU you could have it boot. So, likely not. But the reason isn't due to KVM.

> So we should expect a decline in sexual relationships as the prevalence of obesity rises.

I don't have the numbers at hand, but AFAIK it's the case. People on average have less and less sexual relations, despite the so-called "hookup culture". Not sure it's a causality link, though.
Firecracker contains a machine emulator. This emulator will jail itself before launching the OS to reduce the attack surface the emulator has towards the host.
Or I would rather say... Yes, "free software" has an ideological intention, that is, to make the software free for all its users, to protect it from exploitation using a strong license, and eventually leads to some forms of social change in the software world, as in "when we have enough free software, we'll kick out those dirty licenses, ever more, hackers, ever more".

But "free software" itself is only the means to an end, it's a technical and legal tool to accomplish these ideological intentions, and as a tool, it's a collection of code published under a license scheme. When the developers served their duties by providing the source to the users, the work is done. The developers have no responsibilities to implement anything for its users.

On the other hand, if someone writes free software because they wants some forms of social change, in this sense, the intention is not solely developing free software, but to pursuit an ideology though the development of free software. And this is done by a group of people in a community, like Debian, then they must be doing whatever is needed for this goal, i.e. be guided by the needs of the users.

In conclusion, "free software" is not about you, a free software community can be, and often is about you. But it is also legitimate if it's not, in the end, it depends on the community. Some people only care about themselves, some projects just want mainly the software, but may also care about users freedom, some projects want social changes, while others focused on improving the current status of a specific technology. There are overlaps, but there are priorities as well.

> ZFS is great too.

Could you give some of your personal reasons for saying so? So much online sources just say how great it is without any specific detail. It's not like XFS on Linux has some obvious problems - it is rock solid too.

Let's say I want to run several different operating systems simultaneously from a single big ass SSD. With Linux, XFS and Xen, I can try to set up LVM and coerce Xen to use those logical volumes for VMs, but it is pain to get there with the current state of XFS and Xen documentation. Is this possible/easier with FreeBSD and ZFS?
Assuming a below average construction cost of $100 per square foot, $25k would let you build 250 square feet of housing. Not many people would be happy with that amount of space, and that doesn't leave any money for land acquisition, constructing any of the other infrastructure needed to support the house, or constructing the rail transportation.

From the link in geofft's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18538873):

"At first, each community is defined by its potential. But as that potential is realized, the community begins to be defined by its compromises. That change is felt most keenly by the people who were there first, who remember what it was like when anything seemed possible. They feel fenced in and so they move on, in search of their golden city."
> make you better at both

You'll get insights, as you correctly worded, good. Thing is, designing production infra takes much more than that. Years of telecom experience for example, where downtime is not an option, deep linux and network knowledge, HA designs and lessons from past mistakes. That cannot be learned overnight, and you get sixth sense if it looks right or not.

Add to that AWS SA Pro cert, Python and you'll be getting somewhere :)

People who agree would obviously do that instead of killing themselves, so you're just preaching to the choir.
Containers share the OS kernel and some services. This is a virtual machine monitor, so it deals with virtual machines. A container can only run Linux containers.

Firecracker can likely run other operating systems, such as IncludeOS. You can't run those in containers.

And maybe as an addendum: arguments like the one Kamerlin is making are always wrapped under the guise of "academic freedom". I feel this is disingenuous.

Academic freedom is important because we do not want funders to suppress results of academic research that does not suit their world view.

That is not likely to be at risk when funders demand publication in OA venues, however. Rather, when the term is used in this context, academics are not afraid of their research being repressed, but their career progression.

It's a legitimate worry. However, it's of a far different nature than academic freedom, and tolerating research behind paywalls is not the only solution.

Amsterdam vs. Copenhagen (a British view)
I agree with the sentiment that "everything is bad". Computers are still in their birthing stage and full of problems. But Windows 10 feels like an improvement over any previous version of Windows at least. Which is really all we can ask for. A little too transitional/work in progress for some, I can see that (2 control panels? madness!), but otherwise pretty smooth.

But maybe it's also because I left computer support type roles and I haven't seen the nightmares like I did with XP/2000/Vista/7. But as an end user/casual security and IT watcher I can't complain too much (yet).

And as an anecdote the only problem I've had updating was the one large change to the audio stack they did (and needed to do-it's so much better). The huge issue that arose was I needed to unmute my headphones. Other than that I seriously have not noticed any update other than maybe seeing the % when I boot up in the morning. I keep track of when the big ones come so I can run O&O after those, but I really haven't even skipped a beat due to an update.
> and for having the HIPAA seal.

“HIPAA seals”, which several vendors offer, are mostly BS and have no actual meaning under HIPAA.

I don't think any big vendor has them (Google's HIPAA page explicitly notes that no certifications are recognized by the government.)
No, most of the Western governments don't do that. The reason "coalition of the willing" was so thin is that aside the US and the UK few bought that. France have threatened veto in the UN, so it was not put to the vote… that's also how the whole "freedom fries" idiocy took off. And the rest of continental Europe was immensely sceptical.

China baby gene editing claim 'dubious'
I have a lovely pair of Bluetooth headphones, yet when I bought a new phone the other month I deliberately went for one that still has a headphone jack. Why? Because much as I love Bluetooth, I still use the jack. Maybe not every day, but if I want to plug into pretty much anything that's not my headphones or my car then I need a jack.

Apple make a lot of money from phones. They also make a lot of money from Bluetooth headphones. It makes a lot of sense for them, from an ecosystem building perspective, to push people from cheap wired headphones to expensive Apple headphones. I'm less certain what non-Apple manufacturers expect to gain.
More broadly, that is exactly what AWS aims to do with serverless: "De-commoditize" its commoditization by containerization and tightly re-couple your application to AWS. Which is fine, if it suits someone to do that. AWS just likes to use different words to describe it: "Run code without thinking about servers" -- Which is actually only half the story, since you'll still be thinking about all that extra stuff, just that now you'll be thinking about AWS-specific versions of that stuff, in addition to paying the convenience fees.
It's the wrong question unless you are in the business of profiting off of container tech directly. What are you doing for the stakeholders delegating your pay checks and the person authorized to fire you? If they are happy, then it doesn't matter what the company uses. Most transactions and the world's wealth are stored and processed on operating systems and frameworks most people have never heard of which will outlast either of these by decades but that doesn't mean you should or shouldn't use them necessarily..
Of course, the ending of A Colder War is far far worse than everyone simply dying in a nuclear war...
They did Iraq right with Afghanistan because they had the war machine out of the box and the population revved up to allow it. If they had waited, the public and Congress would have been against it. Obama tested the waters for doing a larger war with Syria in 2013 (which would have attempted to ensure the removal of al-Assad), too much time had passed since 9/11 and people were very war weary by then. With almost no support for more big wars Congress shot it down and Obama abruptly backed down.

Beyond that, if you're only writing 20 lines of code a day each and every single day, then you're either wasting a lot of your and your employer's time, or your role isn't just programming and you have other things to attend to.

There are similarities in the language - yes we could say that Raskin's promised land is my model's heaven.

But there is a major and important difference.

Raskin's model postulates that the promised land (heaven) should be the point of the whole story. For him, the whole story should be geared towards selling the promised land. (look at his other articles, he states that the promised land aka heaven is the most important part of any story).

But this is wrong.

Heaven (Raskin's promised land) is the same for most businesses operating in the space. For example, if you sell B2B the heaven you'll be selling is the same as every other business in B2B - "more money".

What these businesses are actually selling is a new doctrine. That is the point of the story - to sell a new way of thinking.

Hubspot sold the doctrine of "inbound marketing". Their heaven (promised land) is more clients and more money.

Zuora sells the doctrine of "subscription economy". Their heaven is the same as Hubspot's.

Drift is selling the doctrine of "conversational marketing". Their heaven is the same as the other two.

David Allen is selling the doctrine of "getting things done". His heaven (promised land) is "more productivity" and this is the same as every other productivity coach in the world.

What enables these businesses to distinguish themselves from each other and their competitors is not the promised land (because it's the same as virtually everyone else's) but their doctrines.

My model is a more accurate explanation of what is happening. That's important because we use models to recreate them for our own situations - you need an accurate model in order to do it right.

As Dharmesh Shah himself put - their success came from creating a quasi-religion of "inbound marketing".

This is how this model views it - through the lens of religious and other ideological story-telling, and it more accurately fits what these companies have done.
What Is Blockchain Simple Explanation
Overpopulation is not the problem, the problem is that we cannot have 10billion people with Western life standards of consumerism. We will have 10billion people, that's granted. What we need is mass education and lifestyle changes, that have to start by looking at what impact we cause in our actions. Maybe you don't need to eat meat in absolutely every meal. Maybe you don't need a new phone. Maybe you don't need more clothes. And so on...

All the environmentalist non-profits focus on problems by ignoring the impact that the individual has on the problems. It is better to get money if you don't tell the donor that the problem is caused by him, but by an abstract collective that is being really irresponsible with the planet. We need to start looking to ourselves.

I am an audiophile and I don't miss the headphone jack at all. I've always hated the headphone jack on most phones since most of them are inherently low quality. If you have a high end headphone then the weakest link usually is the DAC ( Digital to Analog ) chip on your device. While there are some devices which are made with high fidelity audio in mind ( LG V30 which does come with a headphone jack ), most of the devices in the market aren't. Also good high fidelity headphones usually have higher resistance ( I use DT770 Pro regularly with is rated at 250 ohms ) and almost none of the phones in market today can drive them to the best of their ability. Historically I've always carried a mini amp(Fiio A3) to use my headphones with headphone jacks in my phone to be able to get good audio quality from headphones. Mobile devices just don't have enough juice to give you good sound quality and drive high end headphones to the best of their ability. Even headphones rated at 32 ohms can benefit hugely from a higher audio output.

So for me, audio from a mobile device comes down to 2 use cases:

1. Calling and other low-fidelity tasks

I have a sennheiser bluetooth headphones which supports AptX for these purposes. Bluetooth is lossy and AptX gives you much better audio quality. They are rated at 10+ hours and usually work pretty well for calling and other light uses.

2. Listening to audio

I carry a portable DAC ( Fiio X3) but there are many portable ones available in the market. If you have an iPhone you can get the Fiio i1 which is based on apple's lightning. A portable DAC will usually come with it's own Amp and the audio output will be far better than what a standard phone is capable of. If you have high end headphones you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much difference a good DAC+Amp combo can make. I exclusively use TIDAL for audio streaming since their lossless audio has much higher fidelity compared to other streaming providers.
Perhaps not everyone shares your opinion.

Market Research vs. User Research: How to Overcome Uncertainty
They've been courageous in the past, and its generally worked out well for them (keyboards?), but no two cases are the same, and the past doesn't determine the future, so it still takes courage. It's still risky. There are plenty of companies that
wouldn't have the courage to do something that is going to, in the short term at least, annoy so many people.
That kind of thinking in the past has lead to toxic consumer fish close to where I live - can't remember if it's mercury or dioxin.

It is actually pretty hard to come up with a solution that's going to be safe for 1000 of years.

I might be wrong but I think all countries so far has opted for the solution of putting the stuff somewhere they can keep an eye on it, and possibly get it up again in case somebody figures out a use for it.
"Less activism in schools!"

That equates to less political awareness, less desire to enroll to vote, less in touch with issues that affect their lives, less community involvement, and a fucking fragile democracy prone to corruption.

We need more political awareness in younger people. I was late to the party when it came to the running of the country, and it's a real regret of mine.

Despite my hyperbole above, I actually think Scott Morrison said such silly things because his party is in real trouble and he's under a ton of pressure just to keep the party viable until the election in May. With time to contemplate I doubt he'd say something so inflammatory.

There is a good supply of Chinese phones that include a headphone jack. If the iPhone is a product you don't like, just buy another phone. It will be cheaper and will do the same and probably more.
