I guess it's kind of both.

It circumvents the established network and software stack and builds a new protocol on the lowest-level abstraction that can be used practically (IP + UDP) because everything else would require hardware and kernel support, which would take many years to manifest.

Network attached HDDs were killed by ethernet. In their infinite wisdom, ethernet decided there was no need for speeds between 1GbE and 10GbE. They finally caved to reality with 40GbE, 25GbE, and 50GbE. They eventually ratified 2.5GbE, but it was too late for network drives.

The transfer rate of an HDD is well over 1Gbps.
Wow: that is some tortured denial of cause and effect.

I agree, and I think that's the largest concern here. Only a few years ago a sailor was jailed for a year (later pardoned) for snapping a photo in the general vicinity of certain classified items, and there is no excuse for the president behaving so flippantly with this kind of information.

My original point was that the president may be surrounding himself with people who are green-lighting terrible ideas, and that is what concerns me.

CircleCI has been very frustrating for us recently.

We have a lot of problems with waiting for builds to start - it seems CircleCI don’t have even remotely enough capacity at peak times. We regularly get 10min plus delays to builds starting, sometimes it’s over 30 mins!

Mix that with this security issue... it’s not a rosy outlook for us.

Edit: oh, and the UI has terrible problems with caching and not updating state. Constantly have to hard refresh pages without cache for build status to update.
I'm honestly not criticizing, I think I'm just missing something here. It seems like a good service in the interface offered, but where are the photos actually stored? Am I correctly interpreting this to mean that there's no cloud involved, everything runs off your own computer? Is anything accessible from another computer?
Please don't harangue other users because of where they work. All that does is disincentivize people to talk about what they work on, which is also what they know the most about. That's guaranteed to make HN worse overall, not better.

This could be a much larger discussion and probably better suited for another forum; however, there is a big distinction between co-sleeping and bed-sharing. Long story short: Bed-sharing means sharing the same sleeping surface, such as a family bed, with your baby. Co-sleeping means sleeping in close proximity to your baby, sometimes on the same surface and sometimes not (in other words, bed-sharing is one way to co-sleep, but not the only way).

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends room sharing because it can decrease the risk of SIDS by as much as 50% and is much safer than bed sharing. In addition, room sharing will make it easier for you to feed, comfort, and watch your baby.

The AAP goes on to say: Bed-sharing is not recommended for any babies. However, certain situations make bed-sharing even more dangerous. Therefore, you should not bed share with your baby if:
* Your baby is younger than 4 months old.
* Your baby was born prematurely or with low birth weight.
* You or any other person in the bed is a smoker (even if you do not smoke in bed).
* The mother of the baby smoked during pregnancy.
* You have taken any medicines or drugs that might make it harder for you to wake up.
* You drank any alcohol.
* You are not the baby's parent.
* The surface is soft, such as a waterbed, old mattress, sofa, couch, or armchair.
* There is soft bedding like pillows or blankets on the bed.

With that being said, bed sharing is common in certain cultures where the prevalence of SIDS is low, including Asian communities (Japan, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, and those in UK) and Pacific Islander communities in New Zealand. Actually, it is not the bed sharing that distinguishes these cultures, but other factors (e.g., smoking and use of alcohol/drugs) which in conjunction with cosleeping may put infants at risk. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of bed sharing during infancy—while it has been shown to facilitate breastfeeding and provide protection against hypothermia, it has been identified as a risk factor for SIDS.

If this is of interest to you, a published study called Is “Bed Sharing” Beneficial and Safe during Infancy? A Systematic Review can be found here (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3941230/).

Finally, to answer your question: breast feeding and bed-sharing are often linked. Having a lightweight bassinet, such as a baby box, decreases the practice of bed-sharing and thus decreases the risk of SIDS.
I heard DEC/Compaq ended up basically rewriting the whole thing in OSF/Digital Unix/Tru64. Anyone with stories on that kernel?
The FED did something different the last recession. The "last 15 years," as you say, have been different because the FED started paying interest on excess reserves. This is the reason for the new money to just sit. It provides incentive NOT to lend, a risk free return for the commercial banks. It has counteracted the loose monetary policy.

this has been the reason we haven't seen the usual price inflation from QE

This same factor (FED giving interest on excess reserves) can also account for profits sitting in reserve.

But I suppose now it seems like I'm arguing both ways... (Inflation! & NOT Inflation!) I'll have to take a step back.

Redis lets you store and manipulate some basic data structures like linked lists, maps, and sets -- so a value in Redis doesn't necessarily have to be a big, serialized blob (though I bet that a lot of people use it this way, as if it was a drop-in replacement for Memcached).

Well, for one of the world's largest CDN's I have to say this is pretty appropriate.
> An illiquid asset cannot be liquidated without slippage - that's why there's a liquidity premium.

We agree here.

> Those are the same thing.

We disagree here.

"In economics, a liquidity premium is the explanation for a difference between two types of financial securities (e.g. stocks), that have all the same qualities except liquidity." [0]

"With regard to futures contracts as well as other financial instruments, slippage is the difference between where the computer signaled the entry and exit for a trade and where actual clients, with actual money, entered and exited the market using the computer’s signals."

The concepts are related, but not identical.

I would be surprised if caches and virtual memory TLBs weren't build based on associative memory. The thing with associative memory is that it's a simple logic in principle, but becomes a sprawling array of and gates when implemented in hardware. This takes it out of the competition for high density memory chips.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not surprised that they didn't.
We've had many discussions with you before about overdoing your anti-Google passions on this site. It's clearly leading you to break the site guidelines, as in this comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20888525, and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20888324. Once again it has become a distraction and is turning this thread into a flamewar.

I've rate-limited your account again and we will ban you again if you keep using HN as a platform like this. I know your views are sincere, but the way you pursue them has obviously left intellectual curiosity behind a long time ago. Worse, inundating HN threads with whatever agenda you're prosecuting has a destructive effect on the discussions.
This is not cool, and has happened more than once before (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17216664). This is not a site for platforms, agendas, megaphones, campaigns, or harangues. It's for thoughtful conversation about curious things: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Since the mechanics of the internet will now lead others to accuse me of pro-Google bias, I'll add that we've repeatedly banned accounts for pro-Google agenda-ness just the same way. Our concern is not Google or any other $Bigcorp, it's protecting HN.

Dickey covers the CDC and the NIH (as of 2011). And the common interpretation of that amendment[0] is that it is unclear where the line exists between research conclusions and advocating for gun-control.

The CDC's entire purpose is to come up with mitigation plans for public health issues. If a study finds that increased rates of gun ownership alone causes an increase in gun violence, what conclusions would the CDC be allowed to come to, and what possible mitigation could they recommend that couldn't be viewed as advocating for gun control?

Their position is to avoid all such research entirely. The letter of the law seems to speak only to funding, but its effect is to shut down all research into the issue. Which, of course, was the intended effect from the beginning.

Show HN: Introwise – All-in-one platform for events and communities
Hello HN! We at Introwise just released a major addition to our product - Communities.
In a nutshell - it's a combo of Slack/FB Group/Meetup. We wanted to create a product where community members are encouraged to contribute and share - we do that through group chats based on common interests with smart recommendations, and through a community-driven calendar where anyone can add their meetup. Communities can also host public-facing events, allowing them to grow.

Here is the playground, an example community:
https://introwise.com/communities/introwise

You'll have to sign up, but you can always leave/remove your account hassle-free. It's a very early announcement here, so even our homepage and marketing pages are still in development.

I'm particularly interested in what HN members think about our product. Many communities we are targeting - co-workings, incubators, coding schools, are very tech-heavy and mostly rely on Slack. But at the same time we've heard a lot from them about problems of running their communities on Slack - can become noisy, intimidating for newcomers, complicated for non-tech-folks, expensive. What tools are your communities using?

I'm a co-founder and the only developer, so ask me anything! The web app is SPA React backed by Firebase, event-driven server-less architecture.

I think this is the normal hardware development process, opened up to public scrutiny.

I think it's reasonable - they seem to be matching expectations to groups of people.

People who want better hardware and software should wait for a polished phone.

People who want to develop software, or who want out of the chooise-ios-or-android problem can get an early phone with reduced expectations of perfection.
I'm a LIGO Ph.D. student and this is a crackpot hit piece. I won't go through everything, but let me address this point:

> But, as critics have pointed out correctly, the LIGO alert for this event came 40 minutes after NASA’s gamma-ray alert.

I was there the day of, when this alert went out, and the reason for that delay was that one of our detectors had its data vetoed due to a loud glitch minutes earlier and our European counterparts, Virgo, had problems getting us their data in a timely manner. As a result of that, and the fact that we had human-in-the-loop checks for everything that went public, our first announcement was slow and poorly localized, with improved data products being released throughout the day. All of this is well-described in our publications [0] on the event and can be corroborated by any one of hundreds of scientists who know what they are talking about.

> I’m reminded of the factory workers in other countries whose indigenous land was stolen by the government so they could no longer farm. The one fertile farming land land was used to build factories. And the indigenes people, who no longer had any land to farm on, finally “chose” to work in the factory.

Sure, primitive accumulation is a real problem. But you can also follow that chain arbitrarily far back in history and it doesn't really get you anywhere. If you want to go live off the land, that's certainly fine with me, i'm just saying: don't expect to receive the fruits of modern civilization if you aren't participating in it.

> I disagree with you strongly that voting every few years is the definition of democracy if you mean to say it is the entire definition of democracy. There’s been thousands of years of history and philosophy as it relates to democracy and voting every few years is far from the only idea people have had about it. In particular voting for representatives is participation in a representative democracy, which is one kind of democracy. There are others.

Of course, there are many reasonable reifications of the 'democracy' abstraction. However, voting for representatives every few years is very reasonable one, and the idea that it is "not democracy" is simply wrong.
Why is bed sharing more risky if you are not the baby's parent? The other guidelines seem like common sense, but that one sticks out.

It also makes me wonder how they define "parent". Does it include legal guardians who are not biological parents?

It does not please me that this announcement comes at a time when Stripe took an unprecedented FIVE DAYS to transfer incoming payments to my bank account.

Is this the new ultra-capitalism? Delay my payments so that I am forced to take on loans on unfavourable terms?
I'd like to point out that it's hard to take an opinion seriously that propagates the views of a company to everything that is associated with it. It undermines the actual issues of the company because now every action, person, or thing related to that company is an issue.

It's throwing the baby out with the bath water and too limited of a view for my taste.
Yes, but they are functionally identical in this context. The liquidity premium exists because of slippage.

If you're having problems finding early adopters, this is a sign that you possibly built something no one wants. So ideally, the first step should be finding out a problem, hopefully your own, that someone needs solved and would pay money for it. If you're building a product on say, blockchain technology, because its cool and you think everyone should use it, you're going to get crickets because it doesn't solve any problems that people care enough to switch and adopt.
You're not wrong about anything.

Is this a technology I would only use when building websites at scale or something?

Basically, though I'd amend that to read "websites that might need to scale at some point."

For a lot of projects, shared memory is a perfect choice. But if you might need to scale up to multiple instances at some point, shared memory obviously won't do. And since it's not like there's a huge penalty for using Redis, a lot of times it's just convenient to use it from the beginning.

I am not sure how to define "cause" without introducing counterfactuals.

Things like the NFA and other laws that come expressly into conflict with an unlimited interpretation of the second amendment have been challenged in court on constitutional grounds and those challenges have failed.

As far as the US system is concerned that means some forms of limits on the second amendment /are/ constitutional and the 2nd amendment is thus definitively not unlimited unless and until the court issues a ruling that contradicts the previous rulings.
In a previous life I did tech support in a hospital. One day I was called down to the ER to fix a printer or some other routine thing.

She promptly and firmly informed me that we don't say those kinds of things in the ER.

I don't understand. People shouldn't be writing crypto, that is true, if only to avoid being called "harebrained" on Crypto Stack Exchange by Squeamish Ossifrage. :)

It's hard for me to really engage with anything you're saying, because there are so many layers of problematic to this. I'd prefer to focus my concern on the decision to comply with FIPS, rather than trying to contort my take to some weird box in which unreasonable constraints become reasonable because FIPS says they're reasonable.

In a serious system, you'd either use AES-GCM-SIV, for its NMR property, or (much more likely) XChapoly, for its wide random nonce. OR, you'd have a "FIPS" mode that, like, just composed CTR with HMAC, rather than sticking yourself with GCM's weird nonce limitation. But you've apparently decided to simultaneously support FIPS and roll your own mode to squeeze out a better cycle count.

If there's so much money on the line, just get your design reviewed. Honestly, if you build with cryptography and that cryptography isn't simply Nacl, you should be doing that regardless. Like Nate Lawson used to tell me: you should budget 10x on verification what you do for implementation in a cryptosystem. Are you meeting that standard? I wouldn't know. (Nor, in fairness, would I be qualified to do verification work on a new authenticated encryption mode).

DynamoDB is useful for services that are likely to have a very large amount of load and require minimal maintenance. For example, Mozilla uses DynamoDB to back it's browser push notification sending service. It would be better if it supported SQL, like Google Spanner, but it's still useful.

Redis is useful because it can do so goddamn much. Caching, task queuing, hyperloglog, geospatial indexing. Set it up once, and it can replace a very large number of cloud services. And it has a lot of options for replication, backups, clustering, etc. It is like a Swiss army knife.
That's a great question! I wish I could answer that, but its well above my pay-grade and better suited for a pediatrician or the AAP.
As someone (not a US citizen) who thinks the second amendment can go fuck itself, this isn't helping anyone and looks incredibly childish. Instead of changing people's minds, this will just make gun right activists angry, and make them feel their viewpoint is validated.
