Thanks Randall,

I didn't know app.net's old sites were still up - thanks for the link.

We are planning on providing many of the same features. Our sites will look a little better though :)
FWIW we keep track of community-contributed guides on this wiki page: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/wiki/Docker-external-reso...

If someone can read your email, they don't need your password. They can just initiate a password reset.

We see a lot of these posts on HN complaining about companies particularly Google asking you to do some things (register, upload photos, add your name, etc.)

Have we actually asked ourselves what value are we giving to these companies in return to using their service?

No. My point is only that scientists are not a 4th branch of government.

We don't debate global warming through the political process, nor should we. We debate what we might want to do about global warming through the political process. Your comment indicates you don't see the difference, and that's exactly what I'm worried about.

You're not granted political power simply for being right. Imagine if a new consensus was reached amongst economists that the minimum wage is bad for the economy, and were granted the power to eliminate it. I don't think too many here would be happy about that.

I understand how prior disclosure works, my confusion is that nothing like that seems to have happened here. The patent was invalidated on the basis of documentation of a different piece of software with the same features released 5 years prior (albeit by the same company).

However, having read the ruling, I see it explicitly cites the prior-disclosure rule. So the bad patent system has invalidated a bad patent, but in a bad way.
sapphire screen. I am in love with the idea of a sapphire screen. It's the same material as higher end watches, and those don't get scratches. I wonder how that affects its strength under dropping.
If it's not illegal to distribute them, there's more of a black market incentive to produce them.

Also, your argument about a slippery slope with respect to limits on free speech is in the classical form of a "slippery slope fallacy" because you imply there is no reasonable middle ground without providing compelling evidence. Plenty of countries set limits on speech and function just fine - most or all of the G8 besides the US I believe. (And even the US in this instance.)

Yeah, my env. sci professor in 1st year was a climate scientist who had pretty much given up.

Even though he was getting a shit wage, he still had to endure those who thought it was people like him, rather than the Exxon and Shells of this world, that had a vested interest.
It's not a conspiracy, it's far more democratic than that. I would describe it as a "witch hunt" - where each person tries to show that he is more righteous and dedicated to the cause than the last person, and you gain social capital by being the most loudly enthusiastic. Oil company funding barely exists (it is four orders of magnitude less than government funding), and the best skeptics aren't taking their money anyway. I suggest you read people like Steve McIntyre if you haven't[1][2]. My biggest criticism of McIntyre's blog is that it is too dry and technical, but that is exactly what you want if you are looking for truth.

I don't trust the climate science community. I trusted them a lot more before Climate Gate. That's when I realized that climate science has become deeply, deeply politicized. One email from Phil Jones to McIntyre reads "Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?". Why indeed Mr. Jones, would you want to share data with a skeptic? This is science after all, and science is nothing less than a method for supporting correct conclusions, and the "correct" conclusion is global warming.

Recent deviations of world temperature trends from climate models are only increasing my skepticism of the whole enterprise[4]. But I am alarmed to be going down such a path. If Global Warming were found out to be wrong, we would have to completely reevaluate how we come up with truth in society. That would be evidence of a massive misstep in our civilization.

I also thought Light Table was insanely over-ambitious for a 1-man software project and it got funded.

Maybe Ubuntu can pull this off.

When I heard of snapchat I spent two seconds figuring out that turning off your data connection after receiving the photo allows you take as many screenshots/view the picture as many times as you want (I have no idea if this still works).
QML isn't XML-based. It's synxtax is compatible with ECMAScript and it allows embedding ECMAScript expressions and code (but it's style is generally declarative with procedural code discouraged).

And it has a lot to offer over HTML. It has a better layout model for one, sane integration of concepts like animated property transitions and behaviors, makes it far easier to put custom objects backed by native code into the scene, and many other advantages. A lot of these things aren't possible declaratively in HTML, and HTML isn't set up to be extensible enough as a language so you could make up for it yourself. Yes, you can jam everything into a HTML document somehow, but that doesn't mean it's always a pleasant way to go, or that HTML is the peak of UI technology.
> And selling something so basic as food is exactly that.

I dare you to take a food safety course. I sweat bullets just thinking about what might happen in the tiny chance that a customer gets sick from eating my food even after all the ten million precautions that were taken. Then I dare you to run a reasonably high volume restaurant during peak lunch/dinner hours. :)

Forget all the other stresses like how it's really hard to find good burger flippers in the bay area, even for $14/hour plus tons of overtime 3x meals and more. And the health inspector breathing down your neck giving you a 99/100 for something that has nothing to do with the safety of your restaurant.

Compared to my development work, running a restaurant is a whole different set of stresses and just as bad, all the time.
> never considered them mutually exclusive.

I never implied mutual exclusion.
Also, which major software company doesn't upgrade often?

If you're talking about core infrastructure (operating systems, servers, etc.) used by serious businesses then the answer is pretty much all of them are much slower-paced. Look at how often Microsoft releases a service pack or new version of Windows, or Debian changes stable, or Postgres bumps the minor version. These things happen every year or two, not every month or two. Even Android, to the extent that it has any meaningful version numbering or naming at all, only tends to push out a major release or two per year, and in practice people's mobile devices don't get updated that often by their networks and many phones never get a major update within their normal lifetime.

Of course many developers issue point releases with security patches and important bug fixes more frequently, but changing functionality every few weeks in infrastructure software just seems crazy to me. It doesn't work well in Firefox-the-browser, so why would we expect it to work any better in Firefox-the-operating-system?
It worked for me 5 minutes ago.. But now doesn't work for me either. I think the demo server might be overloaded :)
As a successful crowdfunder myself, I almost cringed when I saw how many "rules" this campaign was breaking. Extremely high fundraising goal, long video, and almost no compelling reward options for people who love the idea but don't have $600 to spend. However, I think they've done at excellent job of understanding their target market. They know that early adopter/open source community relishes cutting edge hardware and a chance at becoming a consumer test group for the next step in mobile computing.

Additionally, they explain their thought processes around how they will choose the display and camera specs, which is much more powerful than explaining what the specs will be. I truly feel like I am funding an intelligent group of decision makers rather than a large scale manufacturing process.

I can't wait to see the results of the campaign and to hopefully have one of these phones in my hand!
This might seem a bit superficial, but one of the reasons I fear a move to Canada is the weather; not the weather per se, but whether someone like me born in a tropical country would adjust well to the cold? I'm concerned that I would relapse into a depression ushered in by the winter blues (used to be depressed in my 20s, not sure why, it went away after 30, not sure why either), and lose my productivity. As a separate topic, it's slightly unsettling how much the ability to work hard defines many of us.

For context, I was born in South India and currently live + work in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, the temperature is around the same number as you see for, say, Victoria, BC, except for that the former is in Celsius while the latter is in Fahrenheit! :-)
We gave up on it for the same reason. It is absurd for a simple web analytics app to require massively more powerful hardware than our actual app does. And since it is a mysql mess, any updates that touch the schema put your stats offline for hours. I really can't fathom how using mysql is still considered acceptable in 2013.

I find it interesting that you didn't cite your most pertinent claim.. namely "The "we're all gonna die" faction gets four orders of magnitude more funding each year than the global warming skeptic faction."

Further, the fact that you referred to people who believe the climate change theory as the "we're all gonna die" faction tells me squarely which camp you're in, and I'd thank you to avoid further such sneaky pre-framing of the argument if you wish for me to take your claims seriously.

> "but it's become a pretty common saying by now"

And there's a good reason why we need to push back against it. I think we've turned on the corner on this particular use of the word, but nonetheless.

This is the same thing as how people used to (and some still do) call things "faggy" and "gay". It's not cool, it's damaging and hurtful to a large number of people.

If you want to say "the system will be taken advantage of", we have an existing phrase for that. It's "the system will be taken advantage of".
Interface Builder, It’s Not You, It’s Me
Oh, I understand it all too well.

In my experience, all the critics of the science want NO action taken, except more science and R&D. Or even in Canada, the shuttering of scientific projects that could be inconvenient.

"The encryption password is "Salted" and based on SHA-512, to avoid brute-force attacks. It takes a lot of technical means to find the word password clearly"

"clearly?" OVH is wrong. Based on this information alone, it is not sufficient to say how costly it is to recover the password. SHA-512 needs to be iterated to make it costly to brute force.

For example, a raw SHA-512 hash, even salted, is not iterated and is easy to brute force.
But multiple passes, as in crypt-SHA-512, are iterated and very costly to brute force.

The Baltic Demographic Disaster
Nice set of comments on this - scarily I think I have to say that someone is not wrong on the internet ( http://xkcd.com/386/ ) as I think people have replied sensibly to concerns. We do try to do things right at A&A. I know it costs a tad more, but I don't think it unreasonable for what we office and we try to fit what people want (hence new Home::1 tariff, and so on). See www.me.uk for more views.
Honestly between WildTangent and from seeing the sheer hubris and sociopathy on display in most of St. John's interviews (and the fact that he just posts hundreds of private emails on the internet), I don't have a very high opinion of him anymore. It's a shame, these stories are super interesting - the posts about Talisman describe stuff I didn't know even happened. Talking about mocking colleagues during their presentations and actively doing really showy, rude stuff to execs...

This bottom-quintile to top-quintile measurement is annoying. A 'low mobility' area could be largely due to less upwardly-mobile poor or less downwardly-mobile affluent, and thanks to the researchers' weak choice of metric it's impossible to tell which.

Perhaps people are under the impression that I am pro-death penalty because of my posts here. I am pro-death penalty in theory/philosophy, but I am not for it in the real world. Simply for practical reasons (cost of appeals process, and yes the possibility of false positives, etc.). I just posted to show that the issue of the death penalty isn't as black and white as people claim, and that the people who are for it aren't necessarily knuckle dragging blood thirsty fools. There are logical arguments for both sides, and the parent post didn't seems to recognize that.
You started the conversation with statement that arguably defends shoddy journalism. Instead of backing it up, you claim the response to your comment is off-topic and proclaim offense at sarcasm and condescension (both useful devices for eliciting emotional responses in debate...).

The problem isn't the blocking - I'd be happy for Cameron to enforce blocking at the personal router level. The problem for me is that it's at the ISP level. It requires deep packet inspection, and starts a slippery slope to them being able to block anything for any reason.

Why shopping cart abandonment matters
400 years ago humans didn't have usable heat engines, mobile chronometers, thermometers, and numerous other technologies essential to living a life differentiated from that of the Neanderthals. It isn't for certain that we'll make similar progress in the coming 400 years, but it's plausible. I don't think it will take that long to construct a Dyson swarm, for instance. The physicist you link really begs the question when he forbids "space cadets".

It's also questionable to equate growth in economic well-being with growth in energy use. They have certainly been related for a long time, but advances in materials, miniaturization, automation, and other engineering will make the environmentalists' goal of stabilizing per-capita energy use feasible.

Does anyone know whether participating in a public forum like this could used in future proceedings against the user or their employer as evidence of 'willful infringement'?

I vaguely recall something about large corporations discouraging engineers from reading potentially relevant patents due to the possibility of greater damages if they were later proved infringing, since demonstrating that they didn't take any inspiration or details from the patent is quite difficult.

Not wanting to spread FUD or anything, but it strikes me as a potential exploit for patent trolls to discourage participation if it's a significant risk.
FSOG (nice acronym, it's a pain in the ass to type out) demonstrates that there a wide segment of the population that is willing and interested in reading material which the government is attempting to criminalize. I misspoke when I said they "are now" criminals, I should have said they will be criminals.

>Which is probably something that the UK government does not want happening again.

Also, this gets my hackles up. Why should they not want it to happen again, besides pointless and absurd moralizing? People have been writing smut for thousands of years. The first books printed with Gutenberg's printing press? Porn. What's different now?
Not true. The US and Canada has a tax treaty which means any Canadian taxes you pay count against US taxes owed. In other words, you only have to pay US taxes if your tax liability is lower than what it would be in the US.

Since Canadian income taxes are higher than US income taxes, you'll never have to pay US income taxes (baring some odd financial situation).
Because the system is overloaded, I am limiting creation quite heavily. Please be patient, it'll get fixed very quickly.
You're responding to a moral argument with a legal argument.

Snapchat developed the service and the API. They don't want alternative implementations of the API to access their service. Morally, publishing such an alternative implementation is questionable. At best, it is discourteous in the extreme.

If someone asks you not to copy the product of their creative work, what moral justification do you have for doing so?
> Cupcake Princess

Veering dangerously close to sexist behavior there—make an extra effort to think about what you're saying when you talk about women in our field. Regardless of what you think of her, it's demeaning to reduce her from a CEO on par with any male in the industry to a "Cupcake Princess"—LOL, they aren't qualified to lead!

Seriously, though, don't be a douchebag, there are more than enough in our industry without this shit leaking onto HN.
It is not true that they must run multiple instances. Rails has been multithreading-capable for years. Other Ruby frameworks have been multithreading-capable for much longer. With Phusion Passenger Enterprise, not only do you not have to setup reverse proxying, the sole instance can run multithreaded.

As for "fast enough that you don't need to put nginx or haproxy in front of them" - the point of reverse proxying is not performance, it's security. If anything, reverse proxying makes things slower (theoretically) because the kernel has to make one extra copy of the data. You reverse proxy stuff so that nginx or haproxy can properly handle I/O management and concurrency, and so they can sanitize HTTP headers, not because it gives you a performance boost. If Go frameworks are multithreaded by default, instead of events, then Go too can benefit from reverse proxying.

If you don't want to think about any kind of reverse proxy setup, there's Passenger Standalone in the Ruby world. You type 'passenger start', and you have a fully-functional, production ready server listening on any port you, that does not require reverse proxying.

Full Disclosure: I am a Piwik Dev

Whenever Piwik gets slow you will have to setup cron archiving: http://piwik.org/docs/setup-auto-archiving/

By default, Piwik will aggregate data when you a) make an API request - b) Load the dashboard (which in fact calls the API). Cron archiving makes this process faster by processing all the data beforehand so that the API can simply request it from the DB.
