It is pragmatic. NetBSD will grab keys bits from FreeBSD, and will want to periodically merge changes. If they don't commit their changes "upstream"... but really more "sidestream", they will have to re-merge their local changes each time too.
It is a fair question. And you're right that no app user will ever notice.

The problem is that it locks you into Amazon. If another company comes out with a much cheaper offering, or you want to switch to Google Cloud Storage, or (unlikely but I suppose possible) Amazon boots you for one reason or another, you're out of luck until you can get your installed base of app users to upgrade.
Did you write the encryption algorithm? Did you have the balls to put 200 grand on the table for anyone who could break it? Did you rise to the challenge and claim the cash?

No, you just stood on the sideline and waited for somebody to fail so you could come down off your branch and peck at the corpse.

Indeed, there is a lesson here. Don't expect anybody to pat you on the back when you put it all on black and win. Because, sure as shit, they'll be there to kick it in your face when you lose.
I'm not saying having servants is only exploitation, I'm pointing out that to chalk it all up to economics is the mistake you're making. That's all.
I've seen projects that regretted going down those roads. I can't say they failed because of it (sad truth be told, several of them failed because they were in such a dysfunctional corporate environment that they were doomed before the project even started).

CQRS can go wrong if you try to do only 90% of it instead of 100% of it. A crude analogy: consider a nation choosing to change the side of the road its cars drive on. So the US wants to switch over to driving on the left. Well, it pretty much needs to be a universal switch, or there are going to be ugly problems. CQRS is sort of like that. It changes so many assumptions that "percolate" through the whole architecture, that it's pretty much an all or nothing thing. So if there is any dissension amongst the team, you're likely to end up in a 90% (or less) situation and start having problems.

Plus, CQRS is complex, especially if you try to do it with a relational database. And the complexity is something you will have to carry, and it will weigh you down. (The ever-present caveat -- there are situations where CQRS can be a good approach).

DDD is interesting. It has so much appeal to it. Parts of it almost read like developer-porn. And there is a lot of wisdom there. However, it too brings complexity. It is not "the simplest thing that could possibly work." Rather, it suggests you and your team really invest some mental cycles projecting the future and trying to design a domain object model that will suit your business for a long time.

That analysis could be valuable. It's hard to argue that thinking ahead is a bad idea. However, many teams, in the process of performing that deep DDD analysis, have lost their way and gone overboard with unnecessary complexity. Maybe the flaw is with developers' innate vulnerability to the siren song of complexity moreso than with DDD itself. And I'm sure many have succeeded with DDD. But many teams have lost their way with it too, and usually by letting complexity get out of hand.
[ptvs proj lead here] - thanks wslh!
is the cpu really going at 25% the entire time? this should definitely /not/ happen. what will happen is that when you 1st install PTVS the analyzer will run in the background for a while until the completion database is ready for pkgs you've installed. after that it should be incremental as you add new pkgs. the initial analysis may take a while if you have a very large distro (15-45m) & run up the cpu. but after that it should be pretty flat. if you could file an issue w the list of your pkgs (if possible) we can look into it. bugs: http://pytools.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic

> It's just weird old thinking that has nothing to do with how the technology actually works.

It has nothing to do with the technology at all. A cable modem has perfectly adequate performance for a lot of commercial uses and the telecommunications companies want those customers to have to pay 50X as much for a leased line.

Which is why it doesn't make any sense for Google to be doing it. Their purpose isn't to upsell business customers, it's to demonstrate demand for high bandwidth connections so they can pressure other telecommunications companies to increase capacity.

The whole "heavy users" thing is bunkum. Yes, 20% of the users transfer 80% of the data. That's how pretty much everything works. People are diverse and have non-uniform usage patterns, and if you sort by consumption level then the high end tautologically uses more per capita than the low end. But bandwidth is by far not the predominant cost of providing internet service. The predominant cost is getting the wire to the endpoint whatsoever, once it's there you can send as many bits as you can fit and upgrades are a matter of replacing terminating equipment rather than going back into manholes and bucket trucks. If bandwidth consumption were to quintuple it wouldn't require any significant rate increase -- it has been increasing exponentially for years with no real trouble.

The only reason telcos talk about heavy users is that they want to engage in price discrimination and they know it confuses people who are used to dealing with commodities whose dominant cost is the unit cost rather than ones whose dominant cost is the fixed cost of building a distribution system.

Are you asking if pulsation flow is needed? Other systems depend on the pulsation nature of our circulatory system.

I'm sure there are others who are more knowledgeable here though.

>Voting isn't a lottery game, you're not trying to use your vote to predict the outcome. You use it to voice your opinion.

No, it's not a lottery game. But it's nevertheless desirable to have the best possible ball park estimate of the situation before voting.

E.g., if the candidates of the major parties are Bad and Worse, and you are certain that Worse is going to win, then you vote Libertarian (or for whatever your favorite third party). Worse wins, but at least you will have contributed to the protest vote total. However, if you are not certain, then you'd better vote for Bad, because voting for the Losertarian is only going to help elect Worse! That's what I mean by "influence the outcome".

>And in parliamentary procedure, abstaining from voting is a valid option, and it is not a waste of a vote. You are specifically going on record as not approving of the choice being provided.

A parliamentary body is a totally different situation. Many fewer voters. Much more frequent votes. And the votes are on the record, the voters having advocated their positions as effectively as they can.
Of course it is. And though I've thought indignantly about how it can be prevented, I don't think its possible. There are infinitely more undiscerning, passive and sensation-seeking news consumers than there are involved and informed ones.

So the former will continue to get played (they may even be enjoying it), while the latter will keep on lamenting it (like we are right now).

I never heard of swamp coolers before. Honestly I think the problem was I just kept my mainland lifestyle. In Hawaii, people keep electric consumption in mind with every purchase. Most people use fans instead of A/C. High efficiency appliances. Even keeping lights off whenever possible. I didn't realize the electric problem until after I had already purchased the large screen plasma TV, A/C, etc.

I don't care if A&E engineered it or not, the Bible thumpers shouting "Free speech" need to be put in their place. Yeah, this is sad, but this is what happens.
I felt like the media did a decent job of portraying the event as a robbery. But that's probably a result of my choices in what news outlets I use.
Not everyone has time to know exactly what's supported by every combination of hardware and software they use or might use in the future. Personally, I came under the impression that the major filesystems in linux (or ext4 at the very least) "supported" trim years before I actually got an SSD. When I did, it didn't occur to me that I'd need to provide an option to mount for it to actually use said support.

News to me, and I've been using linux since I downloaded SLS floppies from a BBS. As it happens, I'm running Samsung's "flash friendly filesystem" (f2fs) on this machine; I hope I don't need to make sure _it_ is issuing trim instructions.
Trim gives out the block usage map. You may not want to do that on encrypted drives.

I feel like the continual release of more details about the illegal NSA surveillance to which we've all been subjected for years is more likely the topic from which someone is hoping to distract attention than the Target issue.
That first sentence needs an editorial once-over.
I would imagine that we will transition to being a remarkably more tolerant society than we are today. When these video cameras and microphones are everywhere, every one will be vulnerable. The first victims of this loss of privacy will suffer the most, but hopefully when it starts happening so often that everyone knows someone who has suffered, we'll start changing our perceptions of how bad some taboo statements and actions really are. A lot of people are going to be exposed as a little bit racist, a little bit misogynist, a little bit misandrist, a little bit classist, a little bit sexually deviant, a little bit xenophobic, etc. etc. etc. All these minor transgressions will be blown out of proportion at first, but eventually we'll realized that it's normal to harbor thoughts and act in ways that are more taboo than they should be. Human diversity is a wonderful thing, and this should highlight that what we all have in common are our differences, including in ways that aren't totally socially acceptable today.

I just hope such a transition to toleration happens quickly.
Checks and balances. The NSA is funded by Congress. Congress needs the courts in order for their legislation to have any effect.
The problem is that if the authors had actually consulted crypto guys, none of this would have happened. Their lack of security shouldn't be excused.
An interview with Peteris Krumins
Ask HN: Why no URIs for email?
Hey HN,

I've been curious about this question for sometime, but why wasn't email standardized to have a URI for each individual message?

I've read RFC5322, but there doesn't seem to be any discussion devoted to why there isn't any URI specified for an email message.

Granted, each individual mail server (and indeed, even email clients) could assign their resource address differently, but wouldn't it be nice if a email message is addressable by an address?

Or am I missing something entirely

How Corporate Data Centers Can Mine Bitcoins After Employees Leave For The Day

what about software hid loggers?
Exactly. The cost of all the energy used to mine bitcoins and process transactions needs to be compared to all the financial infrastructure we have in place today. Think of how many much of the financial infrastructure today would disappear if the world operated mostly on Bitcoins. If an when that happens we'll reap enormous savings and it should end up being more environmentally friendly because mining operations do not require locality. It's very easy to put a mining operation in a region/country with access to cheap, renewable energy, whereas lots of our current financial infrastructure is located in places where the energy consumed is dirty and expensive.

I would love to see someone compare the energy costs of our current infrastructure and externalities vs how thing would be if Bitcoin or other compute intensive crypto-currency replaced all that.
Thanks for the pull requests!
For some reason, I have seriously considered mining dogecoin despite having no interest in obtaining bit, alt, lite or other 'serious' coins.

What attracts me seems like a good question ponder. I feel like I have a chance to actually 'find' some coins. Whether successfully mining coins is truly more likely, or whether the doge coins mined would actually have more value than whatever other types of coin I could find with equivalent effort, I have no idea currently.

I've always liked the doge of shibe meme... And the absurdity of doge coin is highly appealing.

It seems that indeed, probably the first currency I will learn to mine is dogecoin.
To be fair, no one actually discovered the bridge was made of rotting wood. They seemed focused on the fact that math PhDs design it with no civil engineering background and stated plastic had no known defects.

>This ought to be the best of both worlds for the electric grid, too, since solar generates electricity when load is at its highest.

Unfortunately, not.

Demand peaks early morning and early evening, when solar is near its minimum.
And in winter, solar is near zero at those times.

So solar net metering has always been a bad deal for the utilities when you take into consideration the fixed costs they have for maintaining the necessary reserve to cover peak usage.

Ask HN: How can hackers take down the Dinar scam?
Question: Do you think hackers can track down sources, find the truth, expose the Dinar scam, and take down the websites that encourage people to invest their money in a worthless foreign currency?

This week, the exchange rate for a Euro is approx. 1.37 USD per Euro. (http://bit.ly/1cmJEd3)

What if I told you that I knew an inside secret? The secret is that next week the Euro will be trading at 10.00 USD per Euro. (This is not so, I am using this as an anecdote.)

You would of course want to get in on this deal, but you have a problem. You probably can't make it to a bank or currency exchange soon enough to cash in your piggy bank (or your nest egg, perhaps). Your bank teller will tell you they only have a limited quantity of Euro.

However, I am here to help you. I know of some brokers online who will sell to you as many Euros as you want at the relatively low rate of 1.50 USD per Euro.

However, week after week goes by and I keep telling you, "Trust me, next week, the Euro will be trading at 10.00 USD."

Do you see what's happening here? You're just buying another currency with a retail mark-up and wasting your time and investment opportunities.

Yup. A football player who dashes into space and makes a cross to another player who will be in open space is making tonnes of calculations in his head about moving bodies, acceleration, etc- but he isn't, either. He's internalized such thinking. Same for musicians, and same for artists of any kind.
You get a "site seal" with EssentialSSL. Both are equivalent on a technical level, so go with PositiveSSL unless your users care about SSL branding (most don't).
There is always the even more expensive choice of going off grid entirely. But that requires a power storage facility of some form.

If we are fortunate and can get to reasonable "supercap" sort of technology this will become easier.

I note with some interest though that most roof top systems put only enough out that they could, in theory run a Tesla Super Charger to a Tesla battery supply. You could then pick a point in the afternoon where you did the 'switch' and switched over to inverters running off the Tesla battery pack. Providing electrical load from that point until it got below a set charge point on the batteries. Some days you'd probably go from 4PM to 9 or 10PM, others only until 6 or 7. But you would get the benefit of not having to pay for that power when you were running off the Tesla. Elon if you're reading this you should figure out how to make that happen, you'd get better volumes on the batteries with Tesla (better economics of scale) and people could do this without utility participation.

This comment seems to harshly dismiss failures, but that's not the heart of the issue.

Failure is celebrated -- if you make an effort, and try, and you fail, and you learn, and you share what you learned, people care.

But when you (Telegram, not you, XorNot) have a bad idea, and people smarter than you patiently explain why its broken, and you try to buffalo and bluster and bullshit past them, and your product's entire purpose is to provide a security, then your product is worse than a buggy tool; it's worse than not using the product at all. It's the modern-day equivalent of patent-medicine snake oil, and it hurts people.
