I've used just about all of the "hypervisors" at one point or another. If this is all new to you, I'd suggest perhaps starting with Proxmox VE [0]. That'll give you a decent (web) GUI to use to manage everything. Once you understand how things work and have some familiarity with the concepts, then you can start looking at other hypervisors if you decide you want something different.

But that article doesn't say anything about dividends? It mentions profits a few times but gives no details about that aspect of the story. Instead the only specific examples of spending that it gives are employee bonuses.
The critical distinction here is that a soup kitchen is not a for-profit venture, but Stack Exchange is.
There has to be a term for when the business builds something with one tech stack, and then later, as if it was totally by surprise, realizes it needs to replace the whole thing, for basically no added business-value, and this happens every few years. I mean, everyone has known they would have to do this eventually, but it just kept being put off, like the business is a bad procrastinator. And they all do this.

> The computer revolution was enabled, in large part, by a single invention: the transistor. Before transistors, we were stuck with failure-prone vacuum tubes. Yet vacuum tubes kind of, sort of worked: they translated abstract Boolean logic into electrical signals reliably enough to be useful. We don’t yet have the quantum computing version of the transistor — that would be quantum error correction. Getting there will surely require immense engineering, and probably further insights as well. In the meantime, though, the significance of Google’s quantum supremacy demonstration is this: after a quarter century of effort, we are now, finally, in the early vacuum tube era of quantum computing.

Seems a very humble but notable (if not necessary) development in the field of quantum computing. It shouldn't be praised as a transcendent gain, but neither should it be ignored or written off.

If quantum does develop into a viable technology, won't this have been a milestone? Scott Aaronson seems to think so.

SiFive offer IP but also produce SoCs (presumably with TSMC, SMIC, and GlobalFoundries, who are listed as partners).
>They can but that's obviously a rather different question.

How is this a "different question"? It's the question. If there are businesses that can be economically profitable paying $14/hour, but minimum wage rises to $15/hour, those businesses are no longer viable.

We can argue about how many of those businesses there are, but it's merely a fact that they exist at the margin. If you've ever run a small business yourself, you'll understand how small changes in the cost of labour can be painful. I'm not talking about about McDonald's or Walmart here.

Again, we have social programs in my country to alleviate these issues. And they work.

>Why is it so hard to believe that demand for minimum waged labor is very inelastic?

So businesses optimize for the number of people employed, regardless of prevailing wages? I don't buy that, sorry.
You protest too much and show your clear intent.

First, your "Any chance" question was clearly begging the question. The framing was that you believed the article wouldn't get published if it went the other way.

Then, when shown evidence that such articles do, in fact, get published, and that there is no conspiracy against them, you somehow suggest that... that response will keep scientists from publishing their work?
As a user I don't think I'd ever go to .new directly. If you've got some other way to get users there from the main site, you might as well use a query string, path, subdomain or some combination of the three.

I'm not a web dev, but I've dabbled a bit over the years. So I guess I could be missing something. I'm sure the right marketing could make this work.

They pretty much refused to invest in and install any forward looking technologies (microgrid tech, tech to quickly cut off power to damaged lines, battery storage, more distributed generation, more switches to help isolate parts of the grid, etc.). They just wanted to continue building new natural gas plants and to fight against distributed solar.

They could have spent the last 20 years working to make the grid for nimble, flexible, and safe. They also could have actually done the tree trimming they were supposed to do. Instead they slow walked all innovation and are now scrambling to make up for it.
Or just orient them sideways to block less light. That shouldn't cost much fuel, if any (using reaction wheels). I think it would be best to keep those at hand, just in case.

If feasible at all, make a part of those shades photovoltaic panels, and beam the energy back using microwaves, as that would provide an extra incentive to launch that (GEO might be more useful for that kind of setup, I have no idea what deltav it would take to transfer to/from both, but you could use ion thrusters since you have on-board power).
I was more referencing the tweet which looked at the performance of a particular vintage of those funds: https://mobile.twitter.com/zavaindar/status/1159660549615116... none of which reached $1 billion vs the largest funds on the second page https://mobile.twitter.com/zavaindar/status/1159660549615116...

I look forward to seeing how the newer larger biotech funds do/seeing more recent data during a time where public tech outperformed rest of public market.
Ok lets break this down.
Its not similar to Brexit, United kingdom is a union of different countries, Spain is a single country.

The UK allowed a referendum because it has to. Spain voted its constitution in 1978, that means most of the voters are still alive and it got ratified in every community including Barcelona. So there are people protesting now that the constitution does not imminently allow a referendum that voted in favour of that clause being there 40 years ago.

They got prosecuted for crimes such as sedecion, which is like treason light, and misuse of public funds. I dont see how German murder charges are relevant here. Politicians misusing taxes should be heavily punished regardless of country, corruption is eroding the already fragile public sector and safety net we have.

Also Spain is a democracy, if they want a referendum all the have to do is find the votes for it in national parliment. Join with the basque and galician sececionists. Find allies in far left groups who affect self determination by identitarian groups, and vote it. What you cannot claim is that 51% of Catalans = democracy and 66% of Spanish congress = not democracy. They are simply thresholds, and Spain is more stingent than most. But i would argue 66% avoids Brexit like votes so it is preferable in the age of internet manipulation where hitting vulnerable masses of people is accesible through Cambridge analytica type election manipulation.
GoG also provides prebuilt DOSboxes and configurations to allow me to easily run older games, and games on Linux (I only use Linux at home, so that's a big win).

I'm not a fan of Steam, so that's not a real alternative for me.
Old CRTs are generally pretty easy to find cheap at boot sales and junk shops though, and the ones used for things like this would most likely be sourced local to the region they are being used in (and as such appropriate to whatever TV standard is used regionally and probably not compatible with yours).
> a scientist considering publishing findings counter to consensus expects to be met with this kind of reaction from their peers,

They don't in climate science if their research is solid. Objectively bad research get shunned of course.

There is no basis for your suspicion.
Thank you for bringing this up.

It reminds me of Canadian telecoms. While they officially compete to extract more cash from customers, they’ll also call each other up and share infrastructure instead of duplicating builds.

E.g. Telus built towers in its territory, and Bell did in its, and they just share them. Much cheaper than redundant builds and customers usually won’t notice when everyone in the car loses reception at the same time.

Then there’s the stuff that they just do through signalling. Huh, our “competitor” is going to start charging for incoming SMS and the billing vendor that we all use just rolled it out as a new feature. Great!
Of course, there are very legitimate reasons/incentives to hire someone from your own jurisdiction. I'm just not a fan of cheap offshoring.

There is more involved here than any one of those things mentioned. There are certain requirements that need to be met. You listed the five criteria New York has, and so in New York's case, those requirements would have to be considered. Simply having moderators doesn't mean you run afoul of the laws behing discussed.
That has zero bearing on the point Guido was making. He is talking about development practices. The client code is not being sent to users for them to develop code and contribute to the Dropbox codebase.

But this means you need diff tools, version control systems and editors (edit: and merge tools) for every single format, which while nice in theory (hey plugins!), in practice doesn't work well. Text is nice because it sort of a minimum common denominator.

Of course semantic diffs would be nice; even, or especially, for code for example but while they do exist they haven't seen much uptake because they do not integrate well with existing tooling.
Ask HN: Why is Signal going to shit?
For the last 5 years or so I’ve been moving all my contacts to Signal, this has not been easy, it meant manually installing hundreds of apps on friends and family’s phones and pestering them to use it.

I’ve been vocal on social media and forums defending and promoting them just so we could have a viable alternative to Facebook’s WhatsApp.

But their latest update is now ruining my arduous work and I keep getting complains from people that have been kind enough to give them a go. Mainly 3 things:

1 – The mobile/desktop syncing now loads all previous messages and goes through them one by one.

2 – Their group messaging now is buggy and people that have setup their phone can’t type for some reason until suddenly they can…?

3 – It’s taking forever to upload images to the point that I’m getting the old ‘this app is too slow, why don’t you use WhatsApp?’ from people that had not complained in a while.

There’s no way I’m going back to Facebook or any of their properties, including WhatsApp and Instagram so please, please, Whisper team, don’t fuck it up :)
> It’s 2019. If you’re hiring someone who works on the internet, you will be able to find them on the internet.

This guy seems pretty clueless. I’m not sure I’d be trying to absorb his wisdom.
Well the location-based bullshit really has to go. I can charge more for remote work when I move to a higher wage country, while moving to a less ideal location in terms of timezones. It's to no benefit to the customer yet they'll gladly pay more.

People always pretend life is oh-so cheap in for example Latin America while a lot of things including basics like soap and dried pasta can be more expensive in the supermarkets. And don't even get me started on electronics.

Of course you'll get people that pretend to be from a more expensive time zone for remote work. It's the same work after all.
My wife and I make some money with a couple of cheap renting units. To make the administration work easier I started to write an application last year (https://adpro.sun.com.py/en). At first it was very Paraguay-specific so currently I'm working on the last part of internationalization which is the contract and invoice editor. From the start I integrated the ability to also administer renting units for others.

It is very useful to us but I'm not sure about product/market fit. I'm eager to learn from others who rent out what they use for administration and such a system makes sense to them. If I really go after the idea I'll also need a co-founder, please contact me if you are interested.
Oh, my god! How do people reach this kind of ideas?
I've always been one to make strong emotional bonds to the music I listen to. I don't think it's got that much to do with scarcity, it's more about what role the music fills in my life.

Having an endless stream of music just isn't quite as satisfying as picking out the tunes I resonate with and hearing them again and again. And this is exactly what happens when I listen to music streams: I get the urge to pick out the tunes I like. But only after I've heard the same song more than a couple times (it takes time to bond).

I think music becomes kind of an anchor you can (attempt to) rely on when everything else in the world around you is changing. Friends, home town, jobs, apartments, all change... that makes music that remains the same after a decade all that much more comforting.
I appreciate that there could be risks to this solution, but not ready to dismiss it as 'horrible'. I mean, fossil fuel usage is not something inherently evil-- minimizing its harmful effects is not something bad imo.
From a job seeker point of view, there are also lots of job posters that are scams or that want to receive free or almost free work.

Some are just trying to steal applicant’s money or identity, but I’ve also seen legitimate companies asking for long test tasks and disappear afterwards and employees from high profile organizations trying to outsource part of their work but paying $6/hour. Upwork is broken, but this also happens on angel.co and probably on other digital job markets.

Interestingly, most of the advice given in the article for not getting scammed is also true for job seekers.

> "...it could just as well have been a really, really bad business deal for Microsoft."

I think that's the more likely explanation. Remember that Steve Ballmer was crazy enough to also try to buy Yahoo, which would have been an even bigger disaster for Microsoft.

I'm not saying they aren't responsible for creating a source of ignition.
However, the overwhelming majority of people are focusing on PG&E as if they were running around with gasoline and matches and not also examining California's much wider issue that needs attention sooner than later.
While I don't entirely disagree, how many web sites need the kind of features you're talking about? Have you ever looked at Hacker News and thought "if only this had user-definable menu shortcuts," or been shopping on Amazon and thought "this would be so much better if it had toolbars with custom icons"? Probably not.

One of the most frustrating things about modern web development, at least to cranky old people like me, is the conflation of web sites with web applications. If the use case you're talking about is truly trying to replace what would otherwise be a desktop application, like Gmail or (heaven help us) a code editor or word processor, then many of the features you're talking about start becoming useful. But for so, so many web sites, the focus on feature-rich client side toolkits has become, well, kind of a distraction. Is there any real advantage to the user if the New York Times web site is a state-of-the-art React application? Is it improving my reading experience? I not only don't need them to be using a toolkit that gives them desktop-class drag and drop capability, I don't want it, because I'm just there to read a damn article.

So when you write "web application UX designers are still re-inventing the wheel and without some enforced UI guidelines like Apple had in the 90s websites will never fully catch up with desktop apps in terms of usability," my reaction can't help but be: you literally just used "web application" and "website" as if they were interchangeable, and they are not. There's a worthwhile discussion to be had over how much "desktop-class UX" we actually need for our web applications, but I'd like to see our web sites stop being built like they were web applications when they don't need to be.

There's a long enough track record of mismanagement in government that 1/3 of people ~anywhere in the US would say government management is a problem, then point to FEMA and the DMV. There's also the issue that the government's not liable for mistakes, so you have no recourse for run-of-the-mill accidents.

All anger is allowable. Caretaking for an activist's response to hearing anger is codependent.

How is your stance not in line with people insisting on niceness from people belonging to historically oppressed classes?

Shutting down emotions isn't activism. Standing in solidarity and elevating the voice of the oppressed, angry or not, is.

After coding in Delphi, Java, C and C++ - Python was the first language that I really enjoyed coding it. When you enjoy a language, it's easy to start working on fun side projects that advance your skills and you continue improving yourself. Even though I don't write pretty much Python anymore, I still like and respect the language and would definitely recommend it to any new comers in programming. Thanks for Python!
Great, then I can be stuck on my work and on my writing.
A comment like this being upvoted and responsible for a large portion of the "discussion" on the language creator's goddamn retirement announcement makes me embarrassed for this community. Keep the pointless bickering over programming language superiority somewhere else.
The strength of the lobby is purely attributable to the policial will that wants to allow that lobbying to be effective.

The main argument I heard against simplifying the tax code (and allowing automated free filing) is that it would eventually lead to a slow but steady increase in taxes. Another way of saying this is that: the "pain" of paying taxes makes people scrutinize the tax code and acts as a deterrent.

If you were to frame it in that context (and if that statement were indeed true), I am sure more people championing a simple tax code would stop doing so. I would rather pay $100 to Intuit's potentially unneeded service than $1000 as a tax increase.

I am not claiming that it is true - I don't have a way of testing this hypothesis - but it is something that is worth musing about. There are always unintended consequences.
I said earn money. But I phrased it poorly, so i'll explain further with what I know. I also assume we're still talking about regulated utilities.

Capital project costs (along with other fixed costs) generally get passed through to rate payers + an approved ROR by the public utility board. Operating expenses cut into this. Capital project costs do not necessarily reduce operation expenses directly.
You’d think it would be common sense when writing something that other people will read. We don’t see people writing books in acronyms or omitting words.

Ask HN: Why aren't remote human drivers a thing?
I saw an article today where Steve Wozniak said he didn't think autonomous cars would come to fruition during his lifetime. However, I have not read very much about any sort of innovation around a system that uses human drivers to control vehicles remotely. Why isn't this idea being explored more?
Right now, sure. If we use this low cost space access to build a Moonbase equivalent to the ISS, it would be good to be able to return back to that base of the launch failed.

I won’t be surprised if there is a better solution than a launch escape system, perhaps like a non-rocket launch in the form of a lunar maglev launch track, but it’s probably worth figuring out soon-ish.
Is it also theft if I run sshd on udp 53 and I happen to be able to connect?

How about if I run sshd on tcp 22 and it's not blocked?

Is it illegal if I just want to see if a dns change I made has propagated and I query an A record?

It seems obvious (to me) that a judge would say "It's not theft if you're giving it away. If you have a problem with how people are using your free service, add restrictions. Case dismissed."

I would hope that the court uses their human brain to make a judgment of my intent and the intent of the service provider. My intent is to have free DNS access to communicate with my server. The service provider intended to provide a public access point with free DNS and no restrictions on its use. The conclusion should be obvious.
