The truth is, AMD could not copy Intel's 64 bit architecture. Intel created a separate company to circumvent licensing agreement which grants AMD access to 86 instruction set.

Next, amd64 is not compatible with ia32. BUT it enables run both ia32 and amd64 code almost seamlessly AND with no major performance impact. Note that ia64 does allow to run ia32 but with notable performance hit (justifiable by commercial interests only).
The data path on a Juniper isn't passing mbufs around the FreeBSD IP stack, is it? It's FreeBSD command-and-control, but my understanding is that the packet processing itself might as well be its own rtos.

Relaying on their own data centers and their own cloud stuff would have created a dependency between iCloud and the data center level stuff. If the data center project would have been delayed for a reason or another.. too bad for the iCloud.

Also it might not be a good idea to start testing your inhouse cloud infrastructure with a high profile product like iCloud that is likely to attract quite a few users in coming months.

I think it absolutely makes sense to do the development and initial launch with outside services and then later on maybe migrate to your own data centers and own cloud stack.

Ask HN: Are BBC and CNN intentionally squashing AAS bombshell?
Just to be clear I am in favor of reducing CO2. I am not in favor of selective reporting. Am I missing something? This is the American Astronomical Society making the announcement, not some fringe right-wing group. I am sympathetic to many of CNN and BBC's positions but they have lost all credibility in their silence. I can't watch Fox (too political) but I can't stay with BBC after this so its Christian Science Monitor I guess.
I think the problem is that they don't own or have a license for the patents.

The Ruby program takes more time because it is not optimised and it also checks for numeric overflow. The following Ruby program

puts (1 .. 21).inject :*

will output "51090942171709440000". And

puts (1 .. 21).inject(:*).class

will output "Bignum" because Ruby switches to big numbers when its integer representation is exceeded.

I don't take any merriment in the fact that things are not going well for another entrepreneur, so I hope they turn things around. I think it's time to pivot.

And this time don't take shortcuts; no more deals like they did with the british paper to have a special page of Color photos from the royal wedding. Go viral this time, win it because people genuinely enjoy what you're doing.

I find it funny how everybody here tries to spin this to portray Apple in a positive light, even putting the blame on Microsoft somehow.

Face it, this would be a big deal for any other large company. When a tech giant builds his latest project on out-of-house infrastructure, how can this be good? At best, it is a waste of development resources (when it is temporary), At worst, it is a business risk/reliability nightmare waiting to happen (when this is their final infrastructure).

I don't know about juniper specifically but most multiport routers are built on packet processing asics with content addressable storage in local ram and built-in macs for each port.

But after filling a house full of old silicon that could be out-preformed by cheap white boxes with better software, I let go of my nostalgia and sold the lot to collectors and scrap dealers.

This would be a very interesting and timely movie, since we're approaching a cycle when conglomerates are, once again, consolidating into ever-bigger entities. (think AT&T trying to buy T-mobile as a small example).

I would also recommend Tim Wu's book "The Master Switch" that discusses media monopolies in the U.S. in historical perspective, from the telegraph and early telephone on to movie studios and on to the Internet nowadays. As the book explains, the Internet itself in its current open form is a historical aberration, similar to the multitude of choice in the early days of radio which was short-lived, to be soon replaced by monopolies under the government's helping hand. In fact, many technological inventions would not even have been possible when they happened (and some were delayed by decades) because of large monopolies. The origination of the Internet itself, the book explains, is a direct result of the splitting of AT&T in 1984, which allowed, for example the standard modem jack to exist (jacks and equipment were proprietary before that), and which disallowed AT&T from getting in the Internet business as an ISP.
It seems that these lessons have begun to be, once again, forgotten by our modern generation. The solution to all this would be that the government properly fulfills its role of ensuring free market access and prevention of monopolies. It would also entail what's termed a "separations principle", the creation of distance between each of the major layers in the information economy.
They recently added the high quality upload option, I'm guessing most people just want the faster upload and use the compressed versions.

There are a lot of things that America does to other countries that would be taken as acts of war if they were done to America.

I have to call bullshit on this, sorry.

The Russians did this sort of thing all the time during the cold war: parking nuclear submarines off the East Coast, flying bomber runs along the border, reconnaissance -- the list goes on and on. On both sides. There was never an "act of war" Even the Cuban Missile Crisis (which did not have mutants, by the way) ended peacefully.

Look, I think it's great to point out there are two sides of every story. But this type of statement goes beyond a simple plea for "take a look at the other side, guys" and heads into propaganda territory, i.e. everything is mostly the same. So I had to call you on it. Let's not go there.

Why? Because this is a good topic. It calls into question the intersection of governments, technology, and rule of law. The whole point of the article is destroyed if you just say it's all the same. It's not.

Every bad thing in the world can't be erased by an over-application of equivocation. That kind of thing is for spinners. We head down this road next you'll be telling me that China owns vast hunks of ocean and various islands that everybody else says they don't.
No, they want the low hanging fruit. All their generic patents will be used against you, not each other. They won't care that you're already paying other companies as long as they get paid again. And if you even think about claiming that it's already licensed, well see Apple's IAP for what happens.
I'm a vimium user too, and I find gleeBox pretty interesting. The box concept is something I sometimes wish vimium had, the tab manager is also really convenient. However, default vimium's way of managing links seems better for me at the moment - for example when you have a site with lots of links with the same caption (like 'comments' on HN main page), gleeBox seems to be a bad solution (or I didn't figure out how to use it properly?).

War mongering ethnocentric bullshit.

China are aggressive in what they believe is 'their' territory, and nothing else. They have no (modern) history of invading or even being involved in other conflicts around the world. Most [large] countries could not boast a similar history.

On the UN security council they veto most aggressive action the US/England/EU press. If further pressed they generally abstain from the vote. Other than territorial disputes where do you get the idea they are 'aggressive' ?

China is out to protect it's interests just like every other nation. The worry is, they are big, and CAN protect their interests. The western super powers are not used to being challenged like this.

I think you're putting words in my mouth: words like "handouts" and "fixed in stone".

But with respect to "spread more widely" that you quote twice, for common resources that is explicitly the goal of democratic government; most efficient use of the resource is not (it might be in anarchy, or oligopoly, or some other system not based on one person, one vote).

Let's not forget that auctions won't necessarily predict the market price; in fact, they're unlikely to, because in this kind of case they rely too much on prediction of future value, and the structure of such licenses will be that they won't trade freely on a market, so normal pricing mechanisms won't work well. There are lots of inherent rigidities: hardware dependencies limit the pace of change. If a government is to get the windfall, it would probably be better (IMO) to tax profits at a later stage.

My perspective is coloured by some of the worse effects auctions of public telco assets had in Ireland; we ended up with telcos deep in debt, owned by foreign private equity (effectively purchased with the company's own debt), starved of revenue to invest and almost completely focused on servicing the debt. I remember at the time the alternative method being used in Sweden[1] and Finland, focused more on so-called beauty contests than auctions.

I'll need to look into that - haven't seen this option surfaced anywhere in the mobile or desktop sites.

Edit: I can see it in desktop upload - I must not have used that for a while.
I uploaded a big image as 'high resolution' (actually, you can't select high resolution because the photo is already being uploaded by the time this radio button becomes available for clicking) and facebook shrunk it down to a paltry 720x480. The UI blows it up to larger than this, so it looks more blurry.

The basic uploader has no 'high resolution' option, but didnt shrink the uploaded photo down as much.
This is the most important comment here, IMO.

What should we be doing about this, now, individually, collectively?

There's probably a lesson in here somewhere about letting development on any software drag on for so long. At a certain point you have to just kill it and move on with your life. I hope we at least get a case study out of it.

And sometimes they might refuse to launch on targets in the enemy's country. http://lesswrong.com/lw/jq/926_is_petrov_day/

The scenario is from the Terminator series.. I always thought it was simpler to just press "LAUNCH" than to reconfigure all the targets. From the perspective of Skynet, the Russian response would be faster than relocating all the missiles in the US, then launching, so that's the course of action.
The "old" pf_ring is only meant for packet capture and involves packet copies, so it is several times slower than netmap. There is a newer "Direct Network Access" (DNA) version of pf_ring which avoids copies and has the same performance of netmap, but is much more fragile because in DNA the userspace program writes directly into the NIC registers and rings (so it can crash the entire OS), whereas in netmap the NIC programming is filtered by system calls.
That's a little 2005ish. Today we have a couple of ways to ease this:

1) With local storage registration isn't necessary in a lot of cases. It is only needed so the user can have the same data on multiple computers.

2) We have Facebook Connect, Google Login, Twitter Anywhere, etc today. It's a 2 step process, "Login", and "Authorize".

Yeah you can think of rails as requiring a database. You can pretty easily substitute whatever you want at the database level (sqlite3, mysql, postgresql, mongodb, even redis!), but it's the convention that you'll need to store and retrieve data in your webapp. If you don't need to do this (edge case for most of us), then try a different framework like sinatra that isn't accompanied by all the database bloat.

If you're planning on using a DB eventually but don't want to deal with migrations etc. for now, then start with a NoSQL DB like MongoDB (you don't even need to describe your fields, it can be completely dynamic). You can always sub in an RDBMS later on if your design calls for it.

It's funny how we're looking at the same text and arriving at opposite meanings.

Let me highlight some things from your quotes.

1. "Except that the problem is not in the python wrapper"

- This directly says that the Python author is not being malicious---how can he be since he isn't at fault for the error?

The essayist continues to explain why the Python author is not at fault.

2. "You can find bcrypt test vectors on the web, and they are all 60-byte strings."

- This bug is wide-spread.

3. "That is a very big discrepancy between the actual behavior of the code and the description given in the literature. It's vastly too big a discrepancy to be explainable by a simple inadvertent bug."

- The bug is too large to be an inadverdent bug introduced independently by every author.

4. "Now, some people might say I'm being excessively paranoid, but I don't think so. <snip>"

Here the author is only defending his rationale for looking for bugs in an open source project. He isn't implying that he has now found one that shows the authors are malicious.
100% correct. The other fun one is rspec 1.x supports Rails 2.x but not Rails 3.x. spec 2.x supports Rails 3.x but not Rails 2.x. Since the Rails support was modular, I have no idea how this situation resulted. But it basically means I have to upgrade with no test suite.
That sums up nicely why I hate cars and driving. I just don't trust normal people with heavy killing machines under their asses.

Actually, it doesn't really matter if it was abandoned or not. Upgrading a large number of dependencies at once is going to create problems for any project. Hell, working out the redis-rb nightmare of an upgrade took well over a week of effort trying to coordinate with the various projects that depend on it.

But, if you think backward compatibility is vastly overrated, there's really no seeing eye-to-eye on this.
