When some friends come back from China, they bought a bunch of kingston pen drives that were all the have. 8Gb was the largest one at the time... they got the 8Gb for like $5 each.

of course it could only store 256mb... playing later with it i noticed that the chip would max out on the number of sectors when asked. so i had a bunch of pen drives with 9.9TB partitions, which was the maximum i could partition with my kernels.

My guess is that those servers, which can be powered down, are not offered as spot instances at all. A spot instance usually pays less than half the price of an on-demand, for the same power consumption. Offering servers that can be shut down at half the price would cannibalize the main deals the provider offers, and thus make no sense.

The racists don't post anonymously. Pretty much everyone knows exactly who they are, and the kinds of violence they have been happy to carry out in the past. As for reporting them to the police - several of them are well known to the police and have been done for their crimes in the past. Others - we have no proof of what they do individually, but knowing who they hang around with and what has happened in their groups, it's highly unlikely to all be just talk.

My posts may not change their opinions, but it's got a chance of changing the opinions of other people who go to these forums. Being a sports site, there's plenty of impressionable kids going there and if all they read, day after day, is links to stories about blacks or Muslims doing this crime or that crime, without any balance being presented they are going to get a pretty screwed up view of the world.
And you still think that violent racist football fans all hide behind anonymous names on the internet? How sweet.

I feel I'm more productive if I have 2-3 "major projects" going on at once. Whenever I get frustrated one I can switch and continue later after I get tired of the other one again. Helps if they are not very similar. Currently I have a Facebook app and the Japanese candy service going on, which have almost nothing in common.

That's a cute quip, but it seems devoid of content.

In the US, at least, you're not allowed to say whatever you like-- there are certain types of speech that are prohibited-- so the first part of your quip is plainly false.

As for the second, I can't for the life of me figure out what it would mean. I can say something, but some unseen force can prevent others from hearing it?
This is unfortunate. We'd consistently get hit by a 100% CPU NIO bug by OpenJDK on Ubuntu. OpenJDK also packages Rhino in the org.mozilla package which makes it painful to use a different version of Rhino. It's definitely not a drop in replacement.

(n/g)AWK doesn't just make sense for one-liners: it's a full (one could argue: the first) scripting language. Thinking it was only for one-liners put me off learning it at first. That was a mistake.
pressure = Integral[h=x to infinity] of rho g(h) dh where x is the current distance from the center. "h" here means "height." Since we're at the center, x=0. Since rho(vacuum) = 0, this reduces to Integral[h=0:200km] rho g(h) dh. I simplify and say that water is incompressible, with density of rho = 1000 kg/mmm. (At 1 giga pascals the density is 1.2 that of its normal density.)

g(r) = G * M(r) / r * r where M(r) is the mass inside a sphere of radius r. That's G (rho 4/3 pi r * r * r) / r * r or 4/3 rho G pi r.

Therefore, pressure = Integral[h=0:200km] rho * (4/3 rho G pi h) dh. This is 2/3 rho * rho G pi h * h, giving 5.6 mega pascals.

Looking at the phase diagram you pointed out, 6MPa is well within the liquid range. (Presumably the temperature would be around 4C). Even with a higher density it's at most about 7MPa, and you need to get to 1 GPa for water to always be a solid.

In other words, unless I did my math wrong or left something out of the calculations, this water sphere isn't close to one of the ice phases of water.

BTW, for more fun, since there's no heat source for the water (radioactive decay, heat from the phase change to ice, etc), then how does it stay liquid? If exposed to vacuum it would turn to vapor until it cooled down enough (about -60C) to freeze. There isn't enough mass to hold down much atmosphere, so I presume it's covered.

How also does it get enough energy to stay liquid? Most of the energy will be dumped into the top layer, so there will be a warm zone on top of a thermocline, like with Earth's oceans. If the energy comes from the sun, then do the poles freeze? If it doesn't rotate fast enough then the backside will freeze.

If ice does form, it reflects more heat than water so that region will stay ice.

Ask HN: How do I download "saved stories"?
Hello HNers,

I am looking for a link or API to download all of my saved stories or atleast display them on single page (I dont want to press next button every 30 links). Has anyone developed something to accomplish this task?

thanks!
Short version: most branches of Buddhism don't have this kind of notion at all-- it is pretty unique to Tibetan Buddhism, where there are a relatively small number of tulku lineages, where a person can be recognized as an incarnation of the prior holder of the lineage. (The Dalai Lama is the most famous example-- the current Dalai Lama is the 14th in the series.) Incarnations are officially recognized by other tulkus, according to tradition; for example, the Dalai Lama is usually recognized by the Panchen Lama.

Without knowing the details in this case, I am assuming that the person in question falsely claimed to have been recognized as a tulku. I can't imagine that this was part of the job requirements.

So, an analog would be falsely claiming on your CV to have won a prestigious award (say, the Turing Award).

It's a pretty outrageous lie; but then again, so is claiming to have cancer.

I do understand that the mail post is about why he doesn't want to work at Google and not about demonizing Google. Yet, what still strikes me odd is that many people feel like Google and other big companies should act the way they want.

"Their “real names” policy on Google+ is one example; it makes it likely that only people who feel they have no repercussions to fear from anyone, ever, will write there."

And that is fine in my opinion. Not everybody needs to be on the Google+. It's their playground, let them run it the way they want.
>My favorite counterexample is, do you believe that disclosing state secrets to your country's enemy to bring about the destruction of your country should be protected by free speech?

For all we know, anyone making a square planet would be able to put all the mass in the corners, with only 0.00001% for the super-material used to make the faces of the cube.

The math is relatively easy with uniform density. Otherwise we have to start conjecturing on the density distribution, and without real-world feedback it degenerates to wondering if an infinite number of angels can dance on the head of a pin.
Yup, that's about the same proportion I found when I recently tried copying my data across to a ZFS system with the dedup switched on.

I then decided to disable the dedup, because it comes at a cost - the checksum data (which would mostly be living on the SSD read cache I had attached) was occupying about 3 times the monetary worth of SSD storage space than the monetary worth of conventional disk space that the duplicate data was occupying.

I noticed that the opendedup site (linked from the article) claims a much lower volume of checksum data, relative to number of files; perhaps an order of magnitude less than I observed with ZFS, but they seem achieve that by using a fixed 128KB block size, which brings along its own waste. (ZFS uses variable block size.) I haven't actually done the numbers here but I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that for my data, the 128KB block size would be costing as much disk space as what dedup was saving me. (YMMV, of course.)
Yeah, I expected this to be yet another post about how evil google really is, but instead I found a very well written and very insightful post with very interesting references. It might not apply to everyone, but it's a great read.

I am impressed that you read the bill, and then decided to support it.

I did not like the process of getting it done, for one thing. We are having this discussion in a much more civil way. But please look across the Internet (just a twitter search on 'Anna' will give you all colors of tweets). Particularly, in the earlier part of the fast. People are ready to bulldoze/dominate/abuse others...

The 'I am Anna', 'You are Anna' irritates me. No body can have such a steep rise in stock, in just four months ...

Wearing a black hat for a moment. The big suspicion I have is:
1) Anna was used as a tool by Mr. Kejriwal and Ms. Bedi. This is very different than what Gandhiji would have allowed to be done of himself.
2) Anna also did it primarily for fame a retired activist, getting his time in the sun at last ...

Now again wearing my grey hat: I do believe that Arvind Kejrival and Kiran Bedi are good people, basically. But good people also can be misled (they have to be more careful.)

I think, my note above is written in a sober tone. I have just hinted (or even stopped before that) some of my fears/concerns without going into some specific dark doubts that I have illustrated in this comment.
the problem in the real name policy, to me, is more related to the fact that they want your ID name while they claim to need the name you go by usually.

Would google accept _why as a name for a user? Probably not unless this _why is a well known guy. But what if you are not well known, but your friends call you that way? To me they should accept it based on their terms...

You should put a link to the original source. Even if their website is full of ads they deserve credit for the lyrics. Also in case of mistakes we have somewhere to report to.

I think there's always a balance between something being open and transparent (and possibly free and opensource, as those two things usually, though not always, go hand in hand) and something being closed and proprietary. I personally think having an opensource search engine - where all the rules for SEO are well known, constantly refactored and updated by the community - would be awesome. Would it be economically viable? Can't tell you that.

It is important to 'regularly' execute tests in an environment similar to production.

But...

Having your test suite run as fast as possible is also a big priority in development. even with autotest/guard and spork tests might be quite slow if they hit the db (I'm prefer them to indeed hit the db and not to mock every possible db call).

So one solution can be to
- use mysql in dev & production mode
- use sqlite in test
- run a CI server with mysql as the db

this way you can run your tests fast, but still have them fail if there is a mysql/sqlite incompatibility somewhere

I remember someone once posted about running one of these lyrics sites. I can't remember if I found it here or elsewhere.

Anyway, their point was that with a lyrics website, someone only wants to go to the website to find the lyrics. Once they have the lyrics they have no desire to look at other other lyrics - they arrive and then leave/bounce immediately. That is why the adverts on these sites are so spammy. They have to hammer you with adverts in that brief moment you are on the website, because you are not going to click through and engage with the site anywhere else. Also, since you probably don't even know what website you are on, you don't have any "lyric website loyalty", so it doesn't even matter if the ads are massively spammy.

I guess then the challenge is to make a website that somehow encourages engagement so the it doesn't have to be so spammy.
I guess an issue for many hackers is that whether or not to work for Google is a real, nagging question. Many of us will have the skill-sets that cause Google to seek us out when they are on hiring sprees. Some will certainly get offers.

For hackers, Google is clearly an interesting company to work for. They have good infrastructure, good technology, a culture that is likeable to hackers, competitive pay, and an ability to make world-changing technology.

So, all in all, it's an enticing offer.

However, for many hackers, there's the question if Google's overall corporate direction fits our values. Combined with the fact that Google is so powerful, one wonders if Google is the ally or the threat.

I believe that the article make the point that if you have the abilities to land a job at Google, you might as well have the abilities to change things for the better without Google.
Labels don't hold copyright on the lyrics or any other part of the lyrics, tablature. Labels only hold copyright to the original recordings.

We didn't have a relationship with the publishers for our artists, as this is a separate deal that the artists make with other companies.

All we did was ask the publishing companies involved (i.e. Sony ATV - http://www.sonyatv.com/en-uk/ and EMI Music Publishing - http://www.emimusicpub.com/ ) whether we could reproduce user-contributed interpretations of lyrics.

Both of the publishing companies involved said yes, as from their perspective anything that helped promote the song and would increase the awareness of the song and therefore the likelihood of the song being used in advertising, film or other contexts was good for them. They also liked that we didn't reproduce official tablature as that recommended that product of theirs too.

So, we asked, and everyone said yes.

If you don't ask, your first interaction is probably going to be with their legal teams who are less inclined to even think yes.
You could look at it as they're charging everybody $2 a month, but offering a $2 a month credit to their best and most active customers. Looked at like that it doesn't sound to bad at all.
Cool idea. It'd be nice if you could crawl a dictionary and generate words on a particular topic.
Thanks for your valuable feedback.

1. Idea is not a product. If the concept is patentable, patent it first to protect your assets. The whole concept of this tool will be to share and validate idea, or to just share the idea that you can't develop due to lack of skills, time but would like to use.

2. Again, one can't claim he owns an idea. A person not using this tool can come up with same idea. You earn money for execution of idea not the idea itself. The best that can be done is to have a HN like karma system. If developer of product wants, he may give credit to you but can't be forced to do so.

3. I'm planning to make a twitter like "follower" system where the followers can be categorized in developers,designers,funder,promoter etc. Idea owner can contact them to form a group to kickstart a project. It can be excellent for open source project ideas.

4. As mentioned in point 3, it can be done but negotiation can't be done just on basis of idea. It is out of scope of this tool.

We can add a feature to keep ideas private and share it with limited people and make them agree to a Non-disclosure agreement first. Not advisable but can be done if required
Very nicely written and had the right level of details to get me started. Awesome, thanks!
That feels oddly strange on a lyrics site. To not being bombarded with Google Ads left, right & center!

Thanks for the clean interface.
Checkout this branch of d3:

https://github.com/mbostock/d3/commits/map
https://github.com/mbostock/d3/pull/179

We're working on this syntax for: style, classed, property, on, attr, attrTween, style, styleTween. It's a more concise syntax, especially when the attrs are functions. An example from the tutorial:

d3.select(this).selectAll("rect")
.data(function(d){return d;})
.enter().append("svg:rect")
.attr("fill", "aliceblue")
.attr("stroke", "steelblue")
.attr("stroke-width", "1px")
.attr("width", function(d, i){return (histoW/dataset[0].length)+"px"})
.attr("height", function(d, i){return (d/dataMax[rectIdx]*histoH)+"px"})
.attr("x", function(d, i){return i*(histoW/dataset[0].length)+"px"})

Becomes:

d3.select(this).selectAll("rect")
.data(function(d){return d;})
.enter().append("svg:rect")
.attr(function(d,i ) {
return {
"fill": "aliceblue",
"stroke": "steelblue",
"stroke-width": "1px",
"width": (histoW/dataset[0].length)+"px",
"height": (d/dataMax[rectIdx]*histoH)+"px",
"x": i*(histoW/dataset[0].length)+"px"
};
});

Three anonymous functions become a single function which returns an object.
It is not that simple. Big companies have an impact on society and culture, that cannot and should not be ignored.

Much like there are systems in place to protect the market from companies (or more accurately itself), it needs to be considered if that impact is negative, if such a negative impact is somehow encouraged (like monopolies) and if so what can be done about it.

Democracy works because we assume that communication can be done freely and anonymously. If these assumptions don't hold true for major communication platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or Google+ we do have a significant problem.

The fact that you don't have to join these platforms becomes irrelevant if the societal impact extends beyond them or not-joining prevents you from communicating with others in society.
Continue working and launch anyway.

Yeah - I'm not a fan of centralisation either, but what this article misses is that the most important thing enabled by the internet is not blocked by any of Google's practices.

What is the most important thing? In my view - it enables the formation of "Super Groups" - which I think will represent the most significant cultural change since the dawn of language.

All you need for the formation of super groups are sufficiently cheap and efficient signalling processes. Google has perhaps contributed to this drop in signalling costs as much any company on the internet.

Anyhoo - for those who want to know what a super group is - I wrote about it here:

I agree that under the right circumstances, the code would have to be released under the AGPL. I disagree with the fact that you could not also release the code (your code, not including any of MLstate's code) under a permissive license like MIT or WTFPL.

"altus" is an adjective and can mean both high and deep, depending on context. The literal meaning of the phrase is "Through wider things to higher/deeper things." "Through breadth to depth" is pretty close to that.
