What are your reservations with such a model? Just curious.
I am planning on staying significantly involved in Rust overall. We're currently discussing some stuff within the docs team, as the roadmap says. We'll see :)
Hrm, so you checked the apache access logs, or maybe an error log, what about the system logs? Does the login request spin up a bash script and pass the password to it?

> Even though Britain was very pagan and 'dark', Ireland remained 'enlightened' at this time (though the populace was still very 'dark' and pagan in Ireland).

Do you happen to know something about the coinage in Ireland in that period? Also, searching for the survived original sources in that entry, they are either first half 400, written outside of Ireland, then some written later than 600 AD? Maybe I missed something?
> Now that version 1.0 is tagged, we will see about working on integrations with Digital Ocean, various Linux distros and package managers, and making an official Docker container.

So it seems that if you use the Docker container or an APT repository, there is no need for a subscription. However if you pull from their infrastructure you need to pay. Interesting way to muddy the waters and extract money from those who don't understand the situation.
It would be so easy to price the stocks if they could be traded in the open market. Professional traders and collective-behavior would solve this for everyone.

Oh my, what is the story behind the piece of artwork in this release?

The buzz around OpenBSD always led me to believe it's developed by mole people who subsist on cryptographically secure random donations of soda crackers and water.

Yet here on their release page is a big beautiful image that precedes technical release desiderata.

Can more projects do more beautiful artwork like this?

Also, can I support OpenBSD by buying a tshirt with this artwork on it?

Edit: Just noticed that the stem of the "p" in "OpenBSD" is not obscured by the underline (at least in Chrome). That, along with the italic "Open" with non-italic "BSD" is quite aesthetically pleasing. Is this due to a design whiz who got interested in BSD, or is this just HTML5 doing its thing?
You can do this if you have IPFS Companion installed.

Eg: ipns://dist.ipfs.io => http://localhost:8080/ipns/dist.ipfs.io

Firefox only as noted by devttyeu

There is talk of adding signed HTTP exchanges (same thing AMP uses to achieve the same idea[0]), but with content hosted on IPFS[1].

Native support for this may land in Brave someday currently there is an effort around adding IPFS[2]

I've worked for multiple Fortune 25 companies, and that excuse does not fly. Not in banking or healthcare, where breaches of privacy/confidentiality are actually illegal, rather than merely distasteful. Small teams and careless devs doing that sort of bad logging will be caught and corrected by strict security oversight.

This is the sort of thing that leads the HN crowd to sneer at the old, slow ways of the enterprise world.
> Critics might suggest that inflammation is just a symptom in these diseases, rather than a cause. But Hotamisligil says, unequivocally, “Chronic inflammation is uniformly damaging and is absolutely causal to the process, because if you interfere with it, you can reverse the pathology.” And this ability to control such diseases simply by reversing inflammation is a biological response, dating far back to the time of a common ancestor, that has been retained across diverse species of animals to the present day, he says, pointing to experimental evidence: “If you can make Drosophila [fruit fly] diabetic, and then block the inflammatory response systems, you can cure diabetes in Drosophila, the same way you can reverse it in the mouse, in primates, and in humans, provided that you do it with the right tools. Of course, the higher the organism, the more complex these pathways are, so it takes more effort to define the precise mechanisms to manipulate.”

Do you think that's the net result, or is just the fact that somebody somewhere is suffering means the rest of us need to turn off the internet and hand in our smartphones?

I've been perfectly happy with with the Free Software offerings from NGINX, HAProxy, Redis, and GitLab, despite all of those operating what sounds likely to be a similar business model for enterprise customers.

Probably best to withhold judgment until there's actually something to judge, right?
This is a very good point, and I'm guessing something that has blocked this model from working in the past - it's totally natural that newspapers wouldn't want to lose control/ownership of their subscriber base. And I think you're right that that implies that it might be much better to set this up as a JV/cooperative between various papers, with a software arm that charges fees to the parent organization, but that doesn't own the core assets (those being owned by the papers).

Would also need to devise some way to get out of the coop, or structure it so that the members feel confident that it won't paint them into a terrible corner.

I'm not the right person to build this, it's mostly a BD problem (and I have a very long to-do list anyway), but I hope someone takes a stab at doing it right. Seems like various people have tried to do it as a more traditional startup, but I think the danger to the publications is probably too great with that structure, which would make it much harder to get buy in.
Just because they aren’t construction workers does not mean it’s for social status. I’d estimate that roughly nobody buys them for status reasons.

Heck, a half-ton pickup is already nearly three tons. I would expect an EV version to be 7000-8000 lb. A P100D weighs more than some pickups.

Guitar tablature is not a notation for music though, it's a notation for how-to-play-something-on-the-guitar. And yes, that's a very relevant distinction here - when it comes to music, there's nothing more intuitive than the well-established notations that we already have (with a few very limited caveats, of course). And I'm not just talking about Western notation, either - the number-based notation that's in widespread use in East Asia is also highly intuitive and perhaps more so.
Things You Can Do to Make Tech More Ethical · Fast.ai
Again, pure sophism. You could say the same about government employee misconduct. It has no factual basis, it's just a generic statement designed to not address the topic while seeming to contradict the point.

Talk equal to equal.

The example provided is what happens to government officials when they are caught AND punished. I the frequency of getting caught was never mentioned, it's something you brought up.

The topic here is leniency.

Do you really think a small demotion within a company is the reaction of the legal team of say, facebook, to such things?

I mean imagine the Director of Marketing getting kick backs from companies he recommends to the board. And when caught, he is not fired, doesn't have to pay back anything and only suffers a 30% paycut.

It is my understanding that when a large corporation has an officer unjust enriching himself by securing kick backs from companies, they engage in a civil lawsuit.

This would result in an amount considerably larger than the amount received from enrichment being placed in judgement against a defendant.

It would also create a discovery process which would basically mean a made case for a DA, who may and likely will prosecute. A first time offender will likely have minimal if any jail, but they would have a criminal record.

The employee in question would undoubtedly lose his job and all benefits.

How could you compare these two?

The fact that white collar crime is unjustly lenient vs street crime has no bearing on the unjust lenience of private vs public sector employee misconduct. This reddit style 'whatabboutism' is really tiring.

Here's my understanding:

- Mobius is .NET Framework / Mono based and x-plat isn’t great, .NET for Apache Spark is .NET Core / .NET Standard and built with x-plat as a primary concern

- Mobius only targets up to Spark 2.0; while Spark LTS is up to 2.4 now

- .NET for Apache Spark is built to take advantage of .NET Core performance improvements, showing big advantages over Python and R bindings, especially when user defined functions are a major factor

- .NET for Apache Spark is driven by lessons learned and customer demand, including major big data users inside and outside Microsoft

Disclaimer: I know people that worked on this and helped from .NET Foundation side, but the above is my non-official summary from readme's and stuff.
Isn't this the one of the major concerns of ML, the bias-variance trade-off? By creating a low-variance model, we create a highly biased model that misses some of the important feature relationships necessary to create a truly generalized model?

Not that I completely disagree with you, but lets not pretend that leaking SSN is equivalent to possibly leaking emails and passwords. One of those is far more important than the others. There was also tons of evidence of insider trading by Equifax execs. If anything the Equifax stuff proved to me that the American public doesn't care about privacy and so neither should investors.

Digital notebooks (Electronic Lab Notebooks --- ELNs) exist, but haven't caught on yet.

Many researchers often need to be able to note down arbitrary diagrams, not just text, in real time, which pretty much means low-latency tablet with stylus. This became feasible in just the last decade or so.

Many ELNs do implement published hashes for verification ("trusted timestamping").
Next turbine to fail means you sample based on time points, so you still could have sample bias.

Say that turbines have an average lifespan of X years, and from year 0 to 10 you bought 90% Siemens and then from year 10 to 20 you bought 10% Siemens and then you measure failure rates from year X to year X+10.

Based on that data you would predict that Siemens turbines will be the most likely to fail next, but they are probably actually less likely to fail because most of the ones that are likely to fail soon are already gone.

It's relevant if it can be proven there were political motivations in holding those findings until after the midterm elections.

It's very relevant if Mueller was aware right at the start of the investigation that the dossier could not be corroborated. It's already been revealed that the FBI wouldn't have sought the FISA without the dossier. It's also been revealed that the FBI had not corroborated any of the dossier prior to filing the FISA application, nor before any of the monthly renewals.

What's been revealed so far is sketchy, but maybe it will all work out okay for Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein et al. At this point I'm betting Trump is still going to hit back 10x harder. People think Trump is a joke so they write him off, but he's incredibly powerful given the office. I just assume revenge is coming since Trump is who he is.
That's still a pretty elementary error for a company that gets off on using CS-y riddles in interviews like Google used to. Move fast and break things, and then get a $5B fine.
I think security just isn't an instinctive priority in most organizations when it comes to engineering operations. Also I don't blame them for the results very often as they're simply not given time / budget to do so very often.

Hydrogen is only something like 8% better for lifting than helium because they are both much lighter than air:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighter_than_air#Hydrogen_and_...

Agreed that the danger of hydrogen is less than perceived. In an accident it goes up which is normally where the people are not. When it burns it doesn't create much radiant heat. Outdoors in the daytime firefighters have to use something like a broom to find hydrogen fires. Otherwise you could just walk right by one ... which is an issue if you instead walk right into the fire.

The Byzantines not call themselves Byzantines; they considered themselves Roman. See a helpful answer on Reddit¹ which notes an episode in which the Byzantines imprisoned an envoy for calling their emperor that of the Greeks. It would of course be obtuse to call the Byzantine Empire the Roman Empire, but the renaming was after 1453.

That's not correct. To clarify the facts:

- You can always build from source, and you could have always built from source, for free, for commercial use, since the source code is and has always been Apache licensed.

- 3rd-party distribution channels such as Digital Ocean images, Linux package managers, Docker, etc, have nothing to do with commercial or free use.

- Using our official download page (or getcaddy.com) for commercial purposes requires a subscription.

The very term REPL comes from a language that's been used compiled to native code since 1960s (Lisp)

In fact, "compiled" programs on many platforms require an interpreter to set them up by dynamic code loading (including modifications if needed).

In ELF header, it's called "program interpreter", which gives a path to a program that understands this particular file and can assembly a running image in memory

The EU is not a priority for Stripe, which I think is very unfortunate. They only support a subset of countries. I would have switched from Braintree a long time ago if only Stripe were available in Poland.

Braintree works, but is a source of ongoing cost, as it is impossible to do automatic reconciliation. There is no way to connect the (batched) payouts that you get with transactions/invoices. A major problem in the EU.

Also, Braintree has a terrible risk-review approach, where if you trigger a risk review (for example, by growing), they will freeze your accounts for an indefinite amount of time (from weeks to months) and demand various documents from you.
Thanks for the response!

FWIW, I was speaking specifically to being able to run Spark, and manage its lifecycle, all inside the same process as the unit test code. Which is something that I'll openly concede isn't much more than a fun party trick for most people's purposes, but it does happen to serve me well.

In a past life, I was involved in data engineering at a .NET shop, and being able to migrate parts of our process to something like Spark without having to rewrite or otherwise severely damage it would have made me very happy. Even better if I could stay inside Visual Studio, and bang on it from an F# interactive session.

Wild speculation, but if you can produce type providers that know how to tame `DataSet[Row]`, you might have some nonzero number of F# hipsters like me kissing your feet.

(Or not. Like I said, my perspective on Spark is unusual.)
If the article is correct then this is not using any personally identifiable information (the cameras will apparently report "40 year old man, very grumpy" instead of "onion2k"), so the GDPR legislation won't help.
