No, M7 is a coprocessor (according to Chipworks it's an NXP LPC18A1 which would be a customized LPC18xx chip), and it does handle the storage of the data it collects.

The sensors are sitting around it on the logic board: http://69f7c92b9620aa3c39c3-1b6df36b3db30f59ea35f42c7c7c4ffb...

> but there is no theoretical reason why this must be the case.

Yet it has always turned out to be the case anyway...

Even in the world of offshore drilling (which probably has a higher cost of entry than any other business you could possibly enter) there are tons of start-ups, joint ventures, etc... Of course, the oil business is also very susceptible to corruption, but wherever land rights are auctioned fairly, you see good competition.

Total noob question here. I am not from an ops background...

To paraphrase the docs, it's possible to manage a process and specify how many of that process I want to spawn (i.e. numprocesses = 5). I can also manage sockets and pass the managed sockets' fd to the managed processes.

First question, what is a typical use case for wanting multiple instances of a specific process?

Second question, if I am running multiple managed processes, how can they all bind to the same managed socket?

I guess there are some fundamental gaps in my understanding.

The 128-bit export restriction ended 13 years ago, so the use of the home-grown encryption standard has been a choice made by the Korean government and corporations. Yes, the export restrictions were stupid, but there has been plenty of time to switch over.

NPAPI is supported in most browsers, so the SEED implementation had to have been pretty tied to Netscape Navigator/Communicator implementation as it existed pre-Firefox

If the government implementations are the de facto standards and the Korean government has only maintained an ActiveX version for the last 10 years, I can't see how you can interpret it as anything other than an IE mandate.
Absolutely, in the same way that some companies went for Mercurial simply because BitBucket (at the time) offered free private repositories and only supported Hg. Now, BitBucket support Git repos, and I've noticed a few companies I've worked at that are starting to move towards Git on BitBucket, probably because it's the more popular choice and more people will know it because of GitHub.

I use both Hg and Git at work, and to be honest for my basic workflow there are very few noticeable differences in day-to-day work.

The article is generally correct. Until 2010, all e-commerce had to use the SEED protocol (which is only implemented via an ActiveX control after Netscape fell), by law. Which means Internet Explorer.

Yes, it originated in the days when SSL was 40-bits, and yes there was once a Netscape plugin. However the world changed, and for the next decade the law remained the same. The spirit of the article is absolutely correct, despite minor discrepencies: Long after far superior alternatives were available, the law mandated the use of Internet Explorer, which is an inertia that carries the country today.
You should (using the methodology and scripts/notes) be able to run the same comparisons yourself: let me know if I omitted anything that would prevent you from running the same tests.
Ignorance? Not at all. YC has thousands of applications to read in a short period of time. If a question says "If you're already incorporated, when were you?" and I go on to explain why I'm not incorporated, I'm wasting their time. N/A means "I'm not incorporated, this does not apply to me." Go and read the questions that have N/A as answers. They simply do not apply.
Ask HN: YC rejected? Are you considering applying to any other accelerator?
So our YC application was rejected. We are still hoping to receive an email from YC- "Oh it got late last night and some emails got mixed up.

Meanwhile, if you were an unsuccessful applicant at YC, are you considering applying to any other startup accelerators?

I think I agree with the main thrust of your arguments, but can you point at an existing capitalist system that is not in many respects "crony" capitalism? (Switzerland, maybe? I've heard good things about them.)

I suspect we need a new term for what we want. "Capitalism" is too sullied by use.

> Another reason you shouldn't take this personally is that we know we make lots of mistakes.

> If you do, we'd appreciate it if you'd send us an email telling us about it; we want to learn from our mistakes.

For me, those two lines are extremely motivating.
"But the back-and-forth was technologically complicated, and it came with a catch: It required a piece of additional software, or “plugin,” known as ActiveX — which is also made by Microsoft and worked in tandem only with Internet Explorer."

That phrasing made me cringe and shows the lack of technical understanding of the author of this article. ActiveX is a technology, not a piece of software or a plugin in itself.

But Mrs. Bezos mentions his use of all those thinking verbs he ascribes to Jeff. I was reminded yesterday of writing advice by Chuck Paluchink (thanks Reddit) to never use these "thought" verbs and instead to show. This is even more important for non-fiction.

Presumably Mr. Stone had evidence and reason to put Bezos's mind in a certain frame from circumstance, action, or interviews and if he did, he should have laid out that evidence to show us his probably mental state and not simply told us.

True. But many times the networking comes from a junior person looking for help finding a job. I take those calls because everyone has to start somewhere. Usually I pick up the Starbucks because they're less likely to have any income yet, and the people taking care of me back in the day did the same thing. Though maybe I should pick up the Starbucks just to not get manipulated. :-)
Sweet! Feature request: Would you expose the imgur link directly? I often want to take a screenshot and send it to someone, but I almost never need to draw on it. So getting a direct link to imgur would be perfect.

Also, would you consider removing the 5-second "Redirecting..." countdown?

EDIT: Right clicking on the image and clicking "Copy image URL" gives the imgur link.

EDIT2: When you click save, could you automatically copy the imgur link to the clipboard? That way you can save, alt-tab, and immediately paste the imgur link into email/IM/whatever.

Great work! Thanks for this.
Okay, so how did he design the physical chip? Physical design starts with some kind of RTL, usually. Unless he mapped out the chip on a transistor level by hand, he used some kind of software to aid him in the design. If he didn't use Verilog/VHDL, I'd like to see whatever logic-level design he did make.

Using "hg help merge-tools" it describes some different merge tool settings that you might fine helpful. For example if you want it to merge all files it can, and mark the ones it can't fully merge you can try "internal:merge".

To set it for your user globally, in your .hgrc put "merge=internal:merge" under [ui].
Fiduciary duty should be to prevent customers from being scammed themselves, not to prevent them from purchasing things they want. IE Nigerian puppies is probably a scam, but of, "Hi, we're Paypal and we've decided to just keep your money because you ordered a reproduction Civil War cavalry saber and it's against our TOS" is just bull.

It's one thing to have some sort of fiduciary duty to protect customers from scams. It's another to impose government or public morality on the commerce a service is gatekeeping.

Especially when said laws prevent access to the marketplace without going through said gatekeepers.

I don't see why Capitalists are so often misguided about their Ideology.

Capitalism is not a system of capital ownership that encourages competition directly, it is a system of capital ownership that encourages greedy[1] people to greedily control capital in a way that most benefits themselves, and by proxy, their company, and by proxy, the economy. There is no competition inherent in private capital ownership, but it can exist as a side effect of greedy people attempting to best steer their capital successfully.

[1] I use "greed" often, but this is Greed Motivation. That's what this system is. It's not an insult, rather just a descriptor of the motivations we exploit for our economic success.

His examples may have been poor but industrialization is full of examples of Capitalism run wild in a regulatory environment that was non-existent.

Would you like to defend the purely Capitalistic actions of Rockefeller and Carnegie, and perhaps rationalize the almost complete lack of a middle class during that heyday of nearly unregulated Capitalism or the incredibly poor conditions that large swaths of people were subjected to so that the richest Americans of all time (by a massive, shocking, so-much-more-than-Bill-Gates margin)could get even more wealthy?

I'm always shocked when people automatically assume that Capitalism = Competition, when competition is really a side-effect of Capitalism, and one which is often minimized by firms who control capital and believe that their best interest is not in competing aggressively (expensively) but in dominating cheaply (rent-seeking).
Thanks for the answer! I'll take another look at the latest Aurora.

As for point 4, at the moment colors are always displayed with rgb() syntax, even if they were specified as a hex-string or with hsl() syntax in the stylesheet. In Firebug there's a dropdown menu on the style tab where you can choose between "Colors as Hex", "Colors as RGB" and "Colors as HSL".

> First question, what is a typical use case for wanting multiple instances of a specific process?

distribute the load. For example I can run several "redis workers" that gets jobs to do in a redis queue.

> Second question, if I am running multiple managed processes, how can they all bind to the same managed socket?

if you bind a socket and then forks 10 child processes, they can all accept connections on that socket and let the operating system do the load-balancing.

This is exactly how the Apache pre-fork model works.

This is definitely a nice improvement, but it's hard for me to get excited about it since it isn't available on the lower end. I'd be all over this if I could get a 1-2GB VM with the extra speed, though I understand that Rackspace is probably more interested in the larger customers first.

Something I think that Linode has done really well with is making these next-gen type upgrades available across their entire range of instance sizes. EC2 and Rackspace both created a separate (expensive) tier that you have to buy into, whereas with Linode I just woke up one morning and had 2x the RAM, 2xThe cores, better disk speed, etc.

Different companies, different strategies, but I do wish some of these new instance types would trickle down.

The instructions you linked for git would basically work as stated for Mercurial, but without all the mucking about with making a bare repository.

Except that if you're running Windows rather than Linux, they don't. I have literally just tested it to make sure I'm not imagining things.

The difference is that with Git you probably also have Git Bash installed on Windows, which while somewhat clunky does at least provide a fairly standardised mechanism for setting up keys etc.

To my knowledge, there is no equivalent for Hg, and attempting to use hg with an ssh:// path to the repository seems to depend on what other software you have installed (Tortoise*, for example).

If you know better, my team and I would love to learn something. This has been bugging us for years and across multiple projects, and none of us has ever found a simple, effective way of doing it.

For the record, the mention of SSH setup on the page I linked to is literally just that: a mention, with no further details at all, and as noted above the obvious change of specifying an ssh:// path to a repository instead of a local one doesn't work by default on Windows. There's also a second entry for "Shared SSH", but that goes to a separate page describing half a dozen components that mostly aren't included with hg out of the box and again seem to lack much documentation in some cases.

[Edit: Yes, there is also hg serve, but as you point out it lacks even basic security checks, and even the main Mercurial web site doesn't recommend relying on hg serve for more than temporary purposes.]

[Edit 2: Rephrase to clarify shared SSH details.]

Last time I tried to access a South Korean government agency's website using a Windows guest in VirtualBox, it recognized that I was using a VM and refused to allow me to proceed.

We still have the 1&2 GB flavor types - (1,2,4,8GB), quoting my post:

"We eliminated the lowest end flavor (512) and will start with the competitively priced the 1GB flavor, while drastically increasing its performance from the previous 1 GB offering (we have charts!). This means that the price per month for a 1GB instance is now $29.20/Month ($0.04/Hr). All together? The performance you get for the new prices across all of the Performance Cloud Server flavors is amazingly competitive and a great improvement to the Rackspace portfolio."

Starting early this year, Crunchbase had made a huge push to encourage developers to build application with their data.

‘The CB team is going to be regularly featuring guest posts from any developer who has done something smart and useful with the data, provided that:
-Your application is publicly accessible
-Your application attributes CrunchBase according to the CrunchBase API TOS
-Your application directs users to CrunchBase to update missing or out-dated information’

People+ complied with all their requirements (especially with the attribution) but it didn't help
I would say that it's more likely your life is over when you get accepted to YC--slaving for peanuts with little chance of success, when the expected value of other opportunities are much higher. It's all a bit exploitative, but in every realm of human endeavor, you see people making huge sacrifices with little chance of success:

* Actors hoping to make it in Hollywood

* Singers hoping to get famous (see: American Idol)

* Bands hoping to sign a record deal

* Restauranteurs hoping to open the hot new restaurant

* Gymnasts hoping for an Olympic medal

* Ballerinas hoping for the starring role

* Drug dealers hoping to one day become the kingpin

99% of these people will strike out, and yet we try. I guess it's built into human nature.

Coffee snob here. Optimal brewing occurs at 195-205 degrees F, and is consumed soon after. Good coffee is served HOT, and people in general know this - yet continue to demand it at the drive-thru, and continue to do stupid things with it. Heck, the very existence of the drive-thru is a much bigger problem: dwarfing the 700 complaints of coffee burns, eating while driving reportedly contributes to some 80% of all automotive accidents, more dangerous than the much-maligned texting while driving - yet there is no call to eliminate drive-thrus for obvious on-the-run consumption.

Yes, people get severe burns by placing properly brewed coffee between their legs while driving. This is well-known, and there is little to stop it short of people not doing stupid things.
