I don't see the connection. An example of yin-yang for me in this field is centralization vs. decentralization. We've been through a few cycles already.

1. mainframes (centralization)

2. PC (decentralization)

3. internet and cloud (centralization)

4. now with mobile, crypto/blockchain (decentralization)
> there are ten different backends to handle layering on Docker and that simple fact implies that none of them are good

overlay2 is fast, it's in the mainline kernel, and it's now the default for new Docker installs. I expect all the devicemapper / aufs mess to be history soon.
Did anyone else start picturing the first two slides (the ones labeled "Context") in a Star Wars-movie opening crawl? Something about the voice it's written in totally had me seeing it in yellow text perspective scrolling off into the background.

These tables are almost unusable. They look better in the most superficial possible way. They're more "pleasant", but absolutely not better for a serious use-case.
I know for a fact my white female friends (at least in high school and college) had large biases against Asian dudes.

Thanks for this! I dislike identity politics when used as a bludgeon for the sake of power. However, many of the phenomena talked about are indeed real.

There's one Brazillian rom com, where the Chinese boyfriend was something of the "bad guy" or at least the punching bag. There's nothing about the character that's actually characterization. It's all about his being an Asian guy, who furnishes his apartment in a stereotypical "Asian" fashion, teaches martial arts, only ever wears his martial arts uniform, and makes gross noises in the bathroom. Wish I could remember the name of that movie.

And it's kind of a stereotype now where the unattractive American or British gent goes over to East / SE Asia to teach English (and pick up a girlfriend or bride).

It also works like this for Irish and Scottish guys with that "cute accent."
Bad choice of wording on my side here - most of these people won't get benefits from either State or Federal.

How about would you be willing to provide for them while they are looking for a job at a different state.

And that's, of course, only one of the reasons why it's difficult to move. Got any answers for others I mentioned?
Checkout PaperWM extension for Gnome Shell, it looks a lot like your description
LFS is a deep dive for learning, not a way to create a production base.

I'd suggest stripping down whatever distro you already like unless you have an exotic target platform or highly constrained resource (like embedded systems).

The off the shelf distros can typically be customized much smaller than their "minimal" images. That "minimal" usually means "a reasonable base for your headless server" not "the least amount of software needed to boot." You'll be able to stay in a packaging ecosystem and process you already know. Learn how to create a custom deployable image and with any luck you'll still be able to leverage their build systems, testing and repos.

If you are talking more constrained than that or an unusual architecture, Yocto seems to be where most of the embedded Linux folks are these days. That targets highly-configurable custom compiling everything from the ground up, lots of additional software packages are available to be layered in.
Not the person you asked, but for sites that don’t provide an RSS feed that fits what I want, I make a short scraper that builds the feed and subscribe to that.

I don’t do it often, but I’ve got enough practice (and relevant code) that when I want to, it takes only a few minutes.

Not a practical solution for most people, but it works well for me.
The Mars 2020 mission is taking core samples and caching them for a follow on sample return mission to pick up and send back to earth.
Intentional or not, it is just a platform limitation. If Apple really cared, it isn't impossible to have user verify what an app is requesting should be granted. Infact, Apple caught up with Android on having App permissions.

Google's implementation isn't perfect, but they're not the role model for privacy anyway.
How does that relate to your original comments?
It's really a textbook example of content marketing. Mind you, they have a good service to go with it. But the visibility they get from things like their hard drive stats is worth a huge amount.

How come the co-founder moves out so quickly?

It happens. Sometimes a founder doesn't want to be part of the new organisation and negotiates a quick departure as part of their terms. If all parties are happy it's fine, and not a sign of anything negative.
So the goal is to be like a food court, but cheaper and/or better because, due to delivery-only, the location can be cheaper, and the space can be more efficiently used (no customer seating)?
Spectre ended up being a handful of (non-contiguous) CVEs. It's much easier to talk about "Spectre" as a class of vulnerability than "these 6 CVEs and also that other variant that doesn't have a CVE yet".

What happens next year when there's a new way to bleed RAM? If it's anything like Spectre, we'll call it "RAMBleed Variant 2", and assign it a new CVE.
would be great to have option to sort by date, or at least if should be default one
A while back, malware was using the Tor network. The net effect was saturation of the Tor network and took much of it offline for a while. Curious if the same thing will happen to IPFS.

BlackDuck Alternatives
We use BlackDuck at work to scan our jar for open source components with weak licenses. Thing is, BlackDuck's scan tool takes too long (60+ min on a 400mb jar), and their support kinda sucks.

Anyone have recommendations on a better tool? I'm googling the competitors but would be interested to know what people's experiences were (as opposed to just reading the shiny marketing-speak)
The Firefox browser logo looks very good. My only complaint is that the logos for the other services look so different that in isolation I wouldn't really know that they're part of the same brand. The new shapes are cool but they don't look like they're part of the same design. Like the designers had ideas in-mind for the other services and then had to work the original logo in. I mean Mozilla is a dinosaur and Firefox is a fox -- the rest of the logos seem too literal. They're instantly forgettable because they just relate to their function.

I mean a keyhole for a password manager, a magnifying glass for monitoring, a cloud for send? Not super inspired and feel really generic. How about a nose for Monitor, sniffing out problems, ayy? Maybe a dog pack for Send, those little packs that hang off the sides -- have cute imagery of the fox delivering packages. Communicates right away that it integrates with Firefox too. Would a fox hole at the base of a tree be too much for the PW manager? It's a safe place for sensitive things. Have a little animation of a mama fox protecting it and scaring off predators.
Phones and iPads _are_ much easier to use, for a lot of things. Not necessarily for writing essays or doing spreadsheets, but there is a whole range of things that are significantly quicker and more intuitive on mobile.
This is no different than what Hollywood already does. E.g. demonizing conservative values as antithetical to a stable government (abortion, gay and lesbian rights, income discrepancy). I recall Hillary Clinton being interviewed by Terry Gross, where she was essentially charged with bigotry in reversing positions on gay marriage. Public sentiment changes in one way as a result of social and media influences, and it's not all in the direction of truth, justice and the American way. It's whomever is pulling the puppet strings (read: funding their personal agendas).

All film and media is propagandistic in some way. Just because you swing the needle in a different direction doesn't change that fact.
I'm very doubtful that eye tracking works nearly as precise, reliable and fast as a standard mouse.
Although I do prefer touchpads in situations where high precision isn't required; it just feels more comfortable to me.

You can have structureless orgs on boards for significant organizations but people need to be accountable for a well-understood scope.

My little league has a president at 20 board members. There is a president and 4-5 committee chairs. (IIRC finance, concession, baseball and grounds) Somebody is responsible for the snack bar, but any board member may be on duty running it at any time.

I've worked on good sized project teams where there was a sponsor (the king), the PM (task guy) and 10-20 contributors. It most mostly democratic as long as the milestones were hit.

I've worked in "flat orgs" where there are 100 employees, a director/vp/king, and a big band of equals. Just like in Animal Farm, some of the animals are more equal than others.

We're gonna start to see these kinds of posts a lot more. HN is a trusted site and nothing is more coveted by political campaigns than publicly trusted websites to exploit. It wouldn't hurt to simply allow political posts and maybe highlight them bright red to allow the rest of us to comfortably ignore them instead of letting them fall through the cracks like this one.
> The motor coils are also called "phases".

Back in highschool shop class I was tasked with building a three phase motor demonstration. The idea was to visually demonstrate the rotating field of the the three phases in the motor windings for open house. I took an old 1 horsepower (0.75kW) motor, pulled the rotor, and sat a few large-ish ball bearings in the stator housing. When plugged in to three phase the bearings rapidly spin around the inside of the stator housing.

I had to do a few more mods such as clear plexi end covers as well as add resistors in line with each phase to drop the current. Without the rotor the inductance is much lower pulling way more current than the nameplate rating (otherwise magic smoke). Then wired it to a contactor and button to run it.

That's a pretty amazing slide even with that error(? see below). 15 of the top 25 tech companies had 1st or 2nd gen immigrant (co-)founders.

As to booking.com: from reading the Wikipedia entry I gather the original dutch-founded booking.com was at some point acquired by Priceline Group (which had an American founder), which later changed its name back to booking.com. It seems the slide is (technically) correct, and any attempt to capture such cases in a workable definition would be complicated.
Marta, You're looking outside yourself for too many answers.

Just live life and have experiences with the thought that "I'm going to let life teach me about myself". You don't need more schooling but you do need to put in work at hobbies, a job (you don't need to love the first thing that comes around. There's always another job), personal relationships on all levels (friendly, acquaintance and intimate).

If the above is too ethereal for you, find solace that everyone's lost at 25 (and many are beyond that). You just don't have enough time in to LIFE. Keep doing things until you find the VERY FEW that cause you to find yourself.

Good luck.

Yeah, we shouldn't be quick to underestimate the cultural influence from Hollywood :)

Besides, if they west goes in this direction, economies of scale might simply make single-use-plastic more expensive than the alternatives..
" they'd get laughed in the face as the founders just walked next door to the next VC firm on Sand Hill Road."

I don't think it's so easy, because the issue wouldn't come up during funding, it'd happen later.

Also - the vast majoriy of companies do not 'waltz into VC to raise money'. Consider that if they are taking Chinese money, it might be a sign they had difficulty with American firms, because why would you take money from a super foreign investor if some entity in the Valley would fund you? 'Better terms'? Well, those terms might have 'strings attached'.

But I think it's right to point out the possibility that this mightn't be rampant.

Maybe it's more common, possibly on a case to case basis, but I don't think startups are acting in the 'strategic interest of Donald Trumps trade war' plan, so to speak.

The MSP430 is a fun way to get back to that sort of simplicity with a fairly modern chip; it's a 16-bit processor with a focus on power efficiency. They've got a GCC toolchain and a port of the Processing IDE ('Arduino') called Energia:

Also, some of the newer ones have small amounts of nonvolatile FRAM instead of separate SRAM and Flash banks.
Getting a shared mindset on what's at stake with a decision, regardless of the outcome, is the critical point.

This is a great way to understand if anything at all is at stake.
STDP is one of the early steps towards understanding the learning mechanism(s) in the brain, but we are a long way from enough understanding to actually reproduce it.

Not only we don't know how to train spiking networks, we don't even know how the information is encoded: pulse frequency or pulse timings or ...? No one knows. How can you compete with anything if you have no idea how it works?

Also, this has nothing to do with computing hardware. You can easily simulate anything your want on conventional processors. Huge computing clusters have been built for spiking model simulations, and nothing interesting came out of it. Invent the algorithm first, then we will build the hardware for it.
I think some people, myself included, are coming at this with an ideological lense. The problem we want to solve isn't bad leadership, it's leadership in general. Hierarchy is a problem for us, and it's just as valid a problem to pick as human suffering or anything else. Coming at things from this angle, investing in leadership training is addressing a different problem entirely. I suspect that the "flat" organizations we've seen, such as Valve, have some pretty major shortcomings. I could see there being solutions to some of these shortcomings through technology and game-theory (decision making apps with specifics I don't know the details of), and I also think there might organizational structures somewhere between the traditional hierarchy and a flat structure where small hierarchies exist in a flat higher-level organization (I get how an interpretation of this can converge on the current higher-order ecosystem of corporations, but there are other directions you can take it).
AutoHotKey is Windows only and Automagica looks like it has crossplatform support for one.
There should be someone designated to gather rough consensus and act upon it. Someone who leads the group. Perhaps they could be called a "leader"?
In what world is a 28-core xeon with 1.5 TB of RAM and 2 dual GPUs (effectively 4 GPUs) not a powerful spec for a desktop? Aren't we still in the era of most desktops having 4 cores and a single GPU? I don't bear any love for Apple, but this computer is still pretty cool.

Steam hardware survey shows most popular spec these days is 4 cores, 8GB RAM, and a mid-range GPU. I'd argue that most machines running steam are more powerful than average given that they're generally gaming rigs. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

Firefox gets a larger swath of the population. 2 cores is by far the most popular with them. https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware

For the people who wanted the Mac Pro that I know of (primarily Apple nerds who were waiting for this new updated machine) they wanted to use it ask a desktop computer. For a desktop computer, this thing is pretty insane in every regard - Xeon CPU, ECC RAM, crazy amounts of GPU capabilities, and yes, price too.

It helps that SA isn't really a risk to export its censorship (among other ills) to the US in the near future.

I generally sympathize with the position of rejecting Saudi money where possible, but it's inaccurate to frame US policy towards China in purely moral terms. In the case of China, there's a lot of ideological self-interest at stake for the US.
That looks pretty much like a dress-up of Superset, intended to hide that it's superset.
I like the "prototype" book, the one that inspired Orwell to write his 1984, much better. It's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_(novel) I read it in Russian though, and the language of the book is just like poem! Love it. I also find it superior in terms of plot and characters, and it's so much more atmospheric and real to me.
How many taxis can scan a city? Fewer than you’d think
Agree, you take someone's money you have to give up something in return. It's a quid pro quo. To think that only means a hollow stake in the company without strength to influence the company's direction, culture, ethos, or mission is naive. Let the free market speak - if you want to eliminate Chinese or anyone else's investment, buy back their stake at whatever price they demand.

The $500 came from the new chips, plus the motherboard Apple is using is much higher spec than the SuperMicro.

It's got 8 full length PCIe slots, and two of those are the MPX slots so it's effectively 10 if you use MPX cards. It has dual 10gb NICs, and two TB3 ports.

It's worth noting that's Long March 11, which is a completely different vehicle to the Long March 5 (the one which will launch China's robotic Mars mission(s)) with the only commonality being that they're both Chinese.

Long March 11 is based on solid rocket motors and is much smaller than Long March 5 (roughly equivalent to a Delta IV Heavy or an expendable Falcon 9) which uses kerosene and oxygen for the first stage and hydrogen and oxygen for the second stage.
It is also of immense worth to anyone buying drives.

Those kinds of stats are impossible to get by for mere mortals so we typically only have anectodes to go by.

So for that the visibility can not possibly be too much nor undeserved.
There's one thing I've learned from white water rafting: On slow parts democracy works fine - everyone discussing about the best path - but when things start happening fast you need a single captain to make the calls, otherwise you end up hitting every single rock in the river while trying to agree if it's better to go left or right around it.
There would be massive global environmental benefits moving the supply chain to western countries. These devices should be more expensive, the hidden cost is in killing the next generation because humanity isn’t handling industrial waste properly (because we outsourced the problem to China.)

You really should read the essay. One of the takeaways for me was that it is easier to concentrate power in a "structureless" group because it is simply taken. Structure is expressly one way to control & limit the concentration of power.

>If I can grow up in the Midwest and move away from home...

You never finished that sentence with a "then" clause.

Here, let me help you out:

"...then I am a very privileged person compared to people who don't have the opportunity to do so for a multitude of reasons that I didn't have to deal with."

It looks like you never had the incentive to consider why other people don't move when you could do it.

Something tells me if I paid you $10 for each good reason you find that makes a cross-country move difficult for someone who's struggling (and is older, and doesn't have the background you have), you would come up with plenty.

Perhaps consider it as a form of charity, and trying doing it on your own as an exercise? Take as an the internet challenge of the day.
