I use Mellanox ConnectX-5 Dual QSFP+ 100Gbit Ethernet cards in my OpenStack private cloud at my business. Mellanox has been instrumental in running flash Ceph arrays by pushing the speed envelope beyond what the Intel/Cisco's of the world are doing.

Mellanox has also embraced bringing RDMA to things like Ceph and working with the broader vendor ecosystem like Red Hat for using this in production.

I hope Nvidia doesn't taint the good reputation of this company.
I’ve never understood the pure love for apt. Ports/pkg is better. Gentoo’s package manager is better. Even yast was better (imho).

Once I needed a package from an external repository, apt has almost always fallen down into a pit of duplicate and incompatible dependencies. Maybe it’s better now, but I was burned long ago and never looked back.

The FAA has spent five months reviewing the 737 Max post Lion Air. They have far more information on the real flight worthiness of the plane than any other agency or organization on the planet outside of Boeing.

What's your premise starting from to claim that the FAA isn't making a better decision, from vastly more first-hand knowledge, than for example the UK or other nations?
As of iOS 12 HomePod can set multiple timers too.

edit Also, I completely agree. I wish there was a HomePod Dot type offering. I've been sprinkling HomePods throughout the home, but it's expensive and also obtrusive in places where you don't want something that bulky.
Hey! Spec editor here.

KV storage is being worked on in a standards body, the WICG. It has healthy cross-vendor collaboration, including Mozilla (who influenced the API design and naming significantly) and Microsoft (who encouraged us to work on it in the WICG and then eventually merge it into the IndexedDB standard, which they are one of the editors of). It also has a decent amount of collaboration from various web developers. I'd encourage you to check out the issue tracker and the minutes of the W3C TPAC standards meeting for more!
MTP is a horrible protocol which renders the abstraction very leaky in my experience, to the extent that it's inaccurate to refer to it as "removable storage" and expect to behave in similarly sane fashion to a proper flash drive. For example, there's no support for modifying a file in-place - the entire file must be read out, modified, and then written back. These kinds of restrictions render it slow and unreliable.

what drew me to CentOS was all that comprehensive free documentation produced for RHEL that no other distribution seems to ha e. I don’t think that can be done if you have consider package updates as in Deb
Ah. In that case, I seem to recall they performed user research among users of their browsers that uncovered that sending files to others was still a major pain point. It's also a way in to promote a Firefox account, and Firefox in general.

Of course Mozilla's not in it for the money, so there's not a direct line from Send to more revenue. Firefox is their main tool to protect the open web, and Send is a way to get more people to use that. And of course, being able to send files encrypted is good for the web as well.

Indirectly, it is primarily financed by the search engine deal in Firefox.
Yeah, that definitely seems more plausible. /s

I find it quicker to enter commands on my phone for most things. One skill I thought would be really useful was "Alexa, hows my commute?" but without a way to go in and 'star' specific trains it would tell me about trains leaving in the next few minutes which isn't helpful!

I also cant often remember what I'm supposed to say and I sometimes forget my words as if I've been put on the spot somehow. Overall its not a pleasant user experience.
You can get that effect by pinning processors to threads and you can do the sync yourself with a barrier (like Java CyclicBarrier, not a memory barrier.)
Not much of a story, I was being a fool and trying to go places I wasn't allowed and someone happened to be paying attention. Fortunately my friend working in security told them it was a planned test (it wasn't planned, but he knows I do this to him from time to time).

No this is incorrect. They have the ability to top off their investment to maintain their stake. Implicitly this investment would be at lower valuation.

This is a standard procedure for most 'early stage' accelerators although yc is hardly early stage

Eliminating exit polls seems like a really bad idea. They're one of the only ways to validate an election system that doesn't depend on the system itself. When you have wild discrepancies, particularly in some precincts, you know to investigate. And it seems you'd want that particularly when you've implemented a complex electronic voting system.

And thinking about it some more the Estonian system seems perfect for vote selling. You just provide your ID card and PIN in the last day of early voting and get it back the day after the election. The buyer can vote in your name and hold your ID card to make sure you can't vote in the booth.
First off, Mozilla believes in the service. Mozilla itself gets funding from donations and corporate backing (I think). The cost of bandwidth is small compared to other file share sites in that the files stored are temporary. The transient nature of the files means that the max storage space needed is relative to the concurrent number of users. Bandwidth also. That means sans a very clever DDoS their expenses should be manageable compared to say Google Drive, Dropbox, or MS One Drive.

I remember sending a signed PDF via Firefox Send and was at first horrified when I realized I couldn't get the file back after 24 hours but then relieved knowing that the recipient got it and then it disappeared from the internet. Very cool!

I've spent a lot of time thinking about monetization on voice-assist apps. This is a challenging problem, and I suspect it's holding AAA quality 3rd party support for the platforms behind. There is no stand alone (from a mobileapp/webapp) voice-assist app that has brought in significant revenue. I'm going to break down some of the most common attempts at revenue and describe their pitfalls.

* Sell Audio (Spotify, Audible, MP3 style): If the goal is to get into this business than you'll have much better reach if you sell on smartphones. The voice-assist app will be supplementary at best.

* Sell products (Amazon/Ebay style): People aren't generally comfortable buying products with voice-assist. You'll have to compete directly with Amazon.

* Market products (In-line advertising style): You'll have to generate a lot of original content to plug sponsored products. The original content will have to be very compelling. It's probably more appealing to host the original content somewhere else primarily.

* Sell audio advertisement: What make the voice-assist platform compelling for content consumption? How can you create a very engaging voice-assist app? Will people tolerate audio advertisements? They tend to consume more time and be less interesting than visual ads.

Right, so imagine separating Apple/Google totally from its current oversight position, and having a totally open app store. Like the world _just_ got past learning not to click 'download here!' on a browser, and that was after 20 years of the internet. I'd be open to alternative proposals, but separating the App Store with no replacement is not a secure solution by any means and causes more problems than it solves, assuming a secure app store is the most important trait of an app store.

I would take anything the tech industry and even tech focused journalists say about this topic with a grain of salt. It is very likely that they have a conflict of interest. Either they have shares or their jobs require not alienating big tech.

It's always a matter of system theory. You can have the fastest native code ever, if your system is suboptimal then it's almost moot. That's why people prototype in python or whatever (lisp and smalltalk decades ago), because they can design the system right and then tighten the organs with native code.
Yes and no, visitor badges often don't use RFID. You can get most places if you have a visitor badge and know someone's name (which are all available on LinkedIn). If you get stopped with a badge you can just say "Oh I'm here with so-and-so in X Department" and usually no one follows through beyond that. Saying you're there for an interview will often drop someone's guard too.

Employee badges often do have RFID, but some places just have you use a sign-in sheet if you're an employee and "forgot" yours (i.e., you don't have one), and sometimes security guards will just let you through if your badge is being "temperamental" (i.e., not working because it's fake).

Most corporate security is security theater (or only marginally useful after a crime) and rules are easily skirt-able because companies don't want to restrict employee access under zero-tolerance policies (which are difficult and time-consuming to enforce).

The company I mentioned previously that will just hand-waive you through a gate with no barriers actually goes as far to fingerprint all their employees and contractors. They also won't hire anyone with even a misdemeanor in their criminal record.

Also note that all of this stuff is markedly easier if you're a woman (less likely to be stereotyped as a criminal) and/or if you wear a suit (depending on the office, a suit can often mean "don't confront me because I'm above your pay grade").

A dual input alarm sounds when that happens.

To my knowledge, the link is only invalidated if the person actually downloads the file. Simply viewing the link does not invalidate it. I can recall a couple of times emailing a Send link to my brother, then checking it in the morning to see if he had grabbed him or not. It was still viewable, so I deduced that he hadn't grabbed it yet, sent him a follow-up e-mail ("Hey you lazy bastard, grab the damn file before it automatically expires!"), and checked again a few hours later to find it gone.

Not quite! Like built-in globals, built-in modules are a shared workspace between all standards bodies. In this case, KV storage is a web standard, for a built-in module that will be a web feature. This is similar to how IndexedDB is a web standard for a built-in global.
> "The advent of the smartphone triggered an app gold rush. So far that hasn’t happened with Alexa."

While gold rush is an accurate analogy, I'm not so sure that's a positive. I remember a couple+ years ago the NYT doing an article / series on (native) app developers and how - contrary to the hype - there were significantly more "losers" than winners.

So has Alexa made it worse? Now there are no winners at all? (Editorial: Well, sans Amazon and its shareholder.)
Meatless Monday, according to Wikipedia, is intentionally not on the traditional day of religious abstinence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatless_Monday “Meatless Monday focuses its initiative on Mondays for several reasons. Friday is traditionally already a meat-free day among Catholics and Orthodox”

FWIW as a catholic I’m pretty sure the majority of Americans in my denomination no longer follow this practice outside of the 40 days of lent anyway. But this does mean religious believers now will have to go two weekdays without meat in the NYC public schools, one forced by the city and one by their religious tradition.

Wow. Your post is so misleading it borders on outright lying. Those $31k contributions come entirely from individuals. Comcast the company did not donate any money to her. Conflating individual contributions with Corporate contributions is massively misleading. Comcast has 164k employees.

It's a BSD world thing :). Local (i.e. non-system) executables and libraries go under /usr/local around here (i.e. libraries under /usr/local/lib, binaries under /usr/local/bin and so on, the hierarchy under /usr/local has the same structure as that under /usr).
Interesting perspective you have there. I'm of the opposite beliefs. If you're going to undertake a project, it is a sign of respect to your users and the problem you're solving that you nail the foundational problems in that space. Shipping a database that loses data is like shipping a bank that loses money and is not something I'm willing to respect.
It might be enough to know it was one of the four. The next time a recruiter calls from any of them, it'd be worth asking them about this and what policies they have to protect engineers from abusive management. If enough engineers express concern, a policy change may come down the line.
At the W3C TPAC 2018 meeting, the spec editors for the IndexedDB spec agreed that after incubation (in the WICG, which is another less-formal standards group), KV storage should "graduate" by being incorporated into the W3C IndexedDB spec itself. (Indeed, they were enthusiastic about the possibility.)
I haven't had a problem with apt since I was using Debian Unstable (sid) back in 2005... and even then, I think I installed stuff from other repos that conflicted with the base system.

Portage is cute but it's tied to Gentoo and few people want to compile their own packages.

Apt was one of the earliest package managers for Linux, for a popular distribution. That was enough to give it a head start regarding packages available. And that's all you need, unless the other solutions are obviously superior from the user perspective, which they're not.
I used Firefox before, but I stopped because 1) it was and continues to be dog slow on Linux, 2) stupidly restrictive policies for extensions. It's obvious to me that Firefox developers don't care about its users. And also at some point they expelled somebody for political views. That was plain stupid on their part.
This is the tool I wanted to write! This is honestly the best solution I can imagine. It's FAXing for the 21st century
Hey, why stop there? Dig deeper! Thanks to internet and computers turning the web into a platform for adware and spyware. No, actually, thank electricity.

It's a stupid point of view, where people blame some tech for problems created by those very people.

It's not javascript that makes web slightly slow, but incompetent developers driven by business.

If it wasn't javascript, it would be something else that allows you to run some computations on client side. And it would be the same if not worse. There's a reason web was won by JS, not java or COM or flash. Hell, there just was a post no NY that demonstrated that fonts are potentially turing-complete.

Our behaviour, economy, law, customs, complete lack of culture and education causes slow web, privacy problems and de-decentralisation of internet. Fundamentally, bug is outside of computer, it's just us.

The Skype for Web thing is completely blown out of proportion. There's many soft launches of apps that limit browsers to focus on priority browsers. Skype for Web works on those other browsers, and I'm sure they'll eventually open it up to them, seeing as ReactXP (what they use to develop it) does support other browsers.

So I've heard this before, and I really want to know what are the things that make apt better? The only thing I can see is that yum was pretty slow (dnf seems to be marginally better). Otherwise, the rpm package format seems pretty on par with deb and apt seems like a super crusty interface with multiple commands and stuff.
> Thank god people can't expand their own storage

If that expansion worked reliably, consistently and in non-confusing manner. If apps could be reliably, consistently and in non-confusing manner bet told to install to external storage, keep their data there, and save their data there.
Go to expii.com and start doing a module to test where you're at. You do exercises and if you don't get something, it shows you a 5min lesson. It's a startup by the guy who coaches the US olympiad team. When you're done find some introductory text that goes about proving things, such as Hoffman & Kunze Linear Algebra or Concrete Math by Knuth et all. Concrete Math is accessible to a motivated highschool student. You have Math stackexchange to ask questions or hire a tutor from a local university to walk you through some of the proofs at a coffee shop on a Sunday afternoon. I paid a grad student to review my terrible attempts at proofs when I started going through the exercises of these intro books, highly recommend you do this too.
When it comes to bandwidth, you can't really compete with Cloudflare.

Your $200/month plan gives us 10TB. I've served over 50TB on Cloudflare's $20/month plan, which probably makes me a "bad customer", but it's nice not having to worry about this when someone decides to use a direct link to a video or image I host.

MTP is super buggy tho. Sometimes I can get it to work, sometimes I can't. Thought it was the fault of GNU/Linux on the desktop, but I've heard similar stories from Windows users. Most people I've spoken to are just annoyed about MTP.

As a possible explanation for this issue, I think that if you use the internet to share data, it's more likely that Google makes money from some of the interactions (either via ads in the app or via play store tax or idk because the service is hosted in GCP or whatever) than if you used an internet-free method, so Google doesn't prioritize bugfixes that would hurt their revenue. Edit: would love to be proven wrong though!
