That doesn't make sense at all. The whole point of cosmological expansion is to explain relations between redshift and distance. That is what was suggested to Hubble back in the 1920's when he plotted this relationship. If you don't hypothesize any global relationship between these two values then every galaxy just happens to have a larger velocity depending on distance. The link doesn't explain why this would happen.

I'm a little concerned about some of the other stated problems that the 'theory' tries to solve. For instance,

>>They believe that sufficiently large objects stretch or break apart, and proffer explanations as to why smaller objects, like galaxies, don’t do likewise.

Spacetime isn't an object! I think gravity is a great explanation why galaxies don't break apart..
If that could be done, someone would be doing it to foil speed cameras and red light cameras already.

Docker is in very active development and issues like this get resolved every week. That said, it's not a problem because of the service discovery and routing that would be involved in the Flynn system.
It's possible, we want to make Flynn really easy to use.
I'm trying to tie concepts to the wording of the 4th amendment without resorting to saying: "This is the precedent and that's that." Because the precedent is clear: Smith v. Maryland makes it okay to collect phone metadata, done.

To your general point about narrow versus broad readings: I didn't say there wasn't a plausible broad reading. I was characterizing the legitimate, plausible narrow one. You claim I'm "cherry-pick[ing] a certain definition of 'yours'" but that's precisely what you do when you're characterizing one side of an argument.

As for plausibility--you cite a dissenting opinion, a concurring opinion, and one of the most handwave-y opinions in the history of the Court (Griswold)... The Supreme Court could someday find a broad privacy protection in the "penumbras" and "emanations" of the 4th amendment, and it will be equally handwave-y when they do.

Finally: U.S. v. Jones was based on meat and potatoes Constitutional law: Scalia's majority opinion focused on the physical intrusion necessary to install the GPS tracker.

Ask HN: What do you use for mailing lists?
I'm working on a book[1] that I'm currently leaning towards self-publishing. I discuss the book here and on reddit. I've got an increasing number of twitter followers, and I get a decent amount of incoming email about it.

What I don't currently have is a mailing list so that I can send announcements to anyone who's interested. I'm thinking it would be good to fill that gap, and I'm interested in what software/services others are using for this.

Mailchimp is the one that first springs to mind, but what are the alternatives and how do they compare?

Just in case any of you whippersnappers are wondering what it feels like to start hacking in your teens and continue (in one form or another) to be hacking into your late 40s: It is pretty much the same after the first cup of coffee in the morning. Where it differs is the lull in the afternoon makes me want to nap. (So I do.)

The drag is that until I look in the mirror? I'd tell you I'm 20-something, and I have to genuinely remind myself that I'm pushing 50.
Well, I think in context, what they mean is:

Russia bans handset subsidies, so customers compare actual handset costs from one handset to the other, and notice that iPhones cost hundreds of dollars more than other smartphones, making them expensive relative to alternative handsets.

Rather than:

iPhones in Russia are expensive relative to iPhones in America.
Many shows were shot on 35mm film and then telecined to tape for editing and FX. Updating it to HD would mean going back to the camera negatives, figuring out which portions were used in which cuts, scanning it, re-conforming all the cuts and then re-doing all the FX.

This was done recently for the first few season of Star Trek: TNG and the difference is amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZQetJVRu0I

We're been working with the DotCloud folks on the container problem since long before Docker was public. They've been very supportive of our efforts to build a full featured PaaS based on Docker and knew about it long before they released Docker publicly. They have their own strategy for their company and product, releasing Docker was a very intentional part of that.
The fact that you think they don't work is even more revealing...
they can be used for singular. grammarians are, necessarily, several decades behind their actual language (but they never seem to want to admit it).

EDIT: I did mine at CU back in 2003 in applied, not FE. I had many friends in FE, most all went into credit. I worked in trading for six years before quitting for a PhD. I do not place any value on an FE degree; looking back at the curriculum they offered, it is obvious that they were thinking the wrong way (the credit models they were teaching were complete shit and they had no concept of micro-structure; ironic given Maureen O'Hara teaches at the Johnson School).

EDIT2: The non-FE profs were and still are very awesome and remain good friends. Did you have Henderson?

You say that kids don't actually ever get kidnapped (which is "hilarious"), then refer to some 115 children a year being kidnapped (where it must meet a list of conditions, and excludes the 50,000+ yearly who are temporarily abducted, often by sexual predators) as proof of your absolute statement.

You have some very confused notions of numbers.

And personally I find 115 children being abducted (in the more-than-a-day-taken-60-miles sense) about 115 too many (and it's simply incredible that the other poster observes that half "return", as if anything less than death is child's play).

Did you know that only three to five children are killed by lightning each year? Yet preventative efforts to avoid children being hit by lightning are extremely widespread. We all know to fear lightning.
No man, you don't get it. MOST people in Russia really never buy expensive smartphones with subsidies. They actually pay the full price. My guess is, carriers tried this model, realized it doesn't really work very well and decided to dump it altogether.
"I get the sense that people really do believe that tech startups are actually a different beast, that the basic rules do not apply, and that we really are not building businesses as the rules just don't apply to tech startups... they are different."

I understand your point - revenues should be a concern from day one. If you have neither revenue nor a plan to obtain it in the very short term, you don't really have a plan for your business beyond "get big and hope".

However: Traditional brick and mortar businesses don't expect profitability in the first year, and sometimes for as many as the first three years.

This is not to say that they have no revenue - only that there isn't an expectation of revenue greater than costs in the short- to medium-term.

The notion that a business should be immediately profitable has always been a popular one, but seldom has it been an accurate one.

Tories are particularly aggressive towards the BBC and regularly threaten full privatisation / dismantling of what they see as a market-distorting entity. This started when Maggie Thatcher and Rupert Murdoch were BFF, and continued pretty much until Cameron's campaign to "tone down" the nastiness.

Labour are much more friendly and involved with BBC employees, historically speaking; under New Labour the BBC newsdesk was largely left free to roam (and criticise)... until Iraq and Kelly happened. Even then, once Blair left, they started firing on Brown pretty much relentlessly, something they wouldn't dare with the current boss.
Hi, I'm the founder of dotCloud and author of Docker. Projects like Flynn are the reason we opened Docker in the first place. They are a good thing for the docker ecosystem, and they are definitely good for dotCloud.

The dirty little secret of PaaS is that there is not, and will never be a single PaaS that fits everyone's needs. With docker we offer a foundation for many PaaSes to engage in a healthy competition while preserving interoperability.

So Shopify will always be free to mix and match Flynn's lego bricks with the bricks of other offerings - because they are all Docker-compatible. The authors of Flynn get that, which is why I believe their product will be good and I will be personally sponsoring it :)
I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but degrees/radians are considered dimensionless in that they're defined by the ratio of two lengths.

There's no way for the value of 1 radian to magically 'double' without causing π radians to magically amount to a full circle, which would seriously warp Euclidean geometry as we know it.
The talk is very interesting, since it shows how functional languages can be used for creating traditional enterprise apps. There is a gap in OO developers minds in terms of adopting functional programming (FP) and how to organize larger projects. Amit Rathore, author of the book The Joy of Clojure, does a great job in presenting a simple way of applying DDD principles to FP and thinking about organizing FP code that scales team productivity.
I just attempt to remain passionately curious. If I don't know something I read about it on Wikipedia, if it still doesn't make sense I search Amazon and order a book. I've learned things about Sociology, Politics, Corporate Finance, Theoretical Computer Science and Parkour this way. We live in a really interesting world, try to understand how everything you come in contact with works (on some level).
Riding in a Zeppelin is a lot nicer than riding in a blimp. For a while there was one you could book a tour on in the Bay Area but it has since ceased operation [1]. The noise of the engines is one part of it but better control surfaces (rigid) makes it feel more like the thing is going somewhere rather than drifting in a general direction. I was lucky that I got the chance to ride in the Airships Venture one, if you get a chance to ride one take it since the number of people who have ridden in a Zeppelin remains a relatively low number.

My favorite was no gossiping. My bet is on "wealthy people lie about gossiping" rather than "wealthy people don't gossip".
I agree.

The record label I once worked at wasn't profitable until year 4, but they had revenue from 4 months in and built upon that at every opportunity.

My point is that you don't become profitable without revenue, and that an acquisition may work for literally a handful of startups, but it is not something anyone should bet on.

No, man, I really do get it. I understand they pay full price. The point is, iPhones are a premium smartphone. They intrinsically cost more than many other smartphones. If you're looking at the (full) price of an iPhone versus the (full) price of a non-flagship Android phone, the (full) price of the non-flagship Android phone is typically hundreds of dollars less than the (full) price of the iPhone.
Be Generous - It's Just Good Business
I'eve been sketching out something that is beginning to sound similar to me. Looking forward to seeing what you've already produced.
It sounds like a great degree program, and I'm encouraged to see it go on-line, but the $60K price tag seems over the top to me. Didn't Georgia Tech just announce an online MS for $7,000?

I'm just not sure this makes sense. While tuition has gone way up at Berkeley, most science and engineering degrees are considered academic, rather than professional degrees, so the fees are considerably lower.

http://registrar.berkeley.edu/Default.aspx?PageID=feesched.h...

So yeah, law or business school tuition+fees (professional program) are between $50-$60 a year, but academic programs (which includes engineering) is less than half that. A lot of this comes down to whether data science will really be a "professional" degree with high earnings.

Truth is, it might, I'm not ruling it out. I got an MS in Industrial Engineering from Berkeley after a math degree, hoping I could get something practical. I had some good experiences, but I also spent what was to me a depressing amount doing proofs about convex sets and stochastic processes. I probably shouldn't complain, that's what an academic degree program is. Maybe something like a professional program would have been much better for me.

Another question is whether holding this degree is valuable independent of what you learn. I know that may sound silly, but it makes a difference. Suppose you were allowed to study law courses on coursera. How much would it be worth it to get to say your degree was officially from Harvard and now qualify for the bar, even if all you did was quietly watch the videos and do the homework? More than $60k, I'd say.

Could the same be said for data science? You've watched the identical videos and done the homework... how much of a premium would it be worth to say you got an MS degree online from Berkeley? It would be worth something sure, but not as much as the law scenario. There's no "data science bar" that can prevent you from practicing, and there are so many different acceptable degree paths to becoming a data scientist. And while some may reasonably dispute this, I have found high tech to be more concerned with what you know than where you learned it.

All in all... sounds like a great degree, but 60K definitely gives me pause.
Just turned 30 today and I don't even get to move up to a new selection.
The author really needs to define "data" and "stored" for this article to make sense. For example, I work for a large manufacturing company and the combination of our ERP/MRP DB and our manufacturing systems DBs totals about 20-25TB, with about 10-15% growth per year on average. That's small potatoes and barely what I'd consider big data in the context of analytics. However, totally separate from this structured data, well, there's a whole of other structured data created by and stored in other app databases, but this is predominantly stuff that supports business automation, not core business systems. I'd guestimate this is in the 5-10TB range, but since most of that data is siloed and unrelated across apps, an analyst would never be looking at more than a few hundred gigs at a time for any given purpose. Then we get to unstructured data, which is what I thought this article was intending to discuss. With file servers at every one of our sites, with 20000+ employees using Google Apps/Drive, with who knows how many Dropbox accounts (not to mention internal FTP), and internal CMSes, we probably have about one PB of unstructured data, not including the stuff in the cloud. We generate email at about 2TB per month, and until recently backed it all up on tapes we ship to Iron Mountain. This is separate from the default business process of imaging a terminated employee's PC and keeping that permanently just in case (stays on a server for a while and is then backed to tape).

So, I'm not sure how to interpret this article, given what I know about how my own company works and where our data lives.
This DDoS argument really is a premature optimization, and it's very simple to implement an external primary/secondary if the problem ever does occur.
Danish (and I believe EU) regulation has a comprise. Subsidized phones are legal, but 1) the longest time you can be bound by a "plan" is 6 month, and 2) all advertising must include the total cost of ownership in the binding period.

This makes it blatantly obvious to the consumer that the unsubsidized phones are cheaper.
My experience was that fail2ban mitigated it pretty much completely for my small server (which no doubt was only allocated a small number of bots to be attacked with). It took about an hour to build up a list of about 16,000 machines and then basically things were fine again.

Have you encountered any agism in your line of work? Do you work with "trendy" languages and technologies or do you stick with tried-and-true, enterprisey type of stuff?

Cyberattacks Target...Our Universities?
One aspect of Network Solutions business is managing some of the root zones. Those are the servers that ultimately tell the internet what other servers to go look at to resolve queries. These are the "root" nameservers. So while Network Solutions is in charge of the root zones themselves, and does run a bunch of root nameservers, there are other root nameservers run by Various organizations and collectively they can handle a massive amount of work.
That is not what is being attacked.
If somone DID successfully DDOS a large enough portion of the root nameserver infrastructure, the internet would largely grind to a halt. It is designed suitably sized, and run by large enough players that this is not likely.

The DNS service that is being attacked is the one they offer end users, usually along with domain registration. There is no particular reason you need to use their services when registering a domain with them, although, like most rigistrars, their website will make this deliberately confusing, and may require you to use their DNS service if you also want to use some of their other value-added services along with your registration (like email forwarding, websites, stuff like that).

Unless you are using other services from NetSol that require you to use their DNS, you are free to use whatever DNS infrastructure you like, including your own.

(If DDOS is a business concern, I'd go with someone big who deliberately does just DNS.. Neustar or one of those)

Hi I'm Dave Mattingly, the creator of this competition. A couple reasons:

1) The algorithms will be run against each other tournament-style. The interviews are a cheater-prevention mechanism. We wanted to make sure people's work is their own, since there are prizes and glory on the line.

2) One of the grand prizes is reserved for the best algorithm, and is purely objective. We are giving contestants clear rules to optimize around, and it's only fair to select a winner who wins based on that set of rules. But keeping some of the other prizes flexible lets us select other winners for other criteria of excellence as well. My larger goal with Brilliant is to create more meaningful problem solving challenges and assessments that reward creativity and critical and analytical ability, rather than rote learning.
