I'm still missing a piece of the puzzle.
With Vagrant, though heavy weight, I have a completely defined system. If I spin up my production server using the same definition (I use ansible) as my Vagrant config, I guarantee the same outcome. Seems perfect.
With Docker, since it relies on the underlying os, it seems I could run into compatibility problems. I understand the "lightweight" aspect, but if I have compatibility problems, that seems not worth the benefit. OR is the issue that those compatibility problems are illusory - Ubuntu 11 will be the same as Ubuntu 12 and CoreOs xx and LinuxZ ZZ?
With Docker, what do I lose vs. Vagrant and what do I gain that makes that worthwhile?
not being funny, but isn't the purpose of a web-based terminal to help give you access to a terminal-like environment when you don't have access to a standard terminal / ssh?
Garn? Apparently it is a NASA unit mockingly for the level of space sickness.

"Jake Garn was sick, was pretty sick. I don't know whether we should tell stories like that. But anyway, Jake Garn, he has made a mark in the Astronaut Corps because he represents the maximum level of space sickness that anyone can ever attain, and so the mark of being totally sick and totally incompetent is one Garn. Most guys will get maybe to a tenth Garn, if that high. And within the Astronaut Corps, he forever will be remembered by that."

Why do you need an intermediary to do this for you automatically? Just take the USD your clients pay you, and head over to your favorite broker/exchange and buy Bitcoin with it.
I know very little about specifically convincing people to give me money, but I do know that when I want someone to do something, I need to make it easy. The ideal is to make it so easy that it's harder NOT to do it.

By trying to get paid in bitcoin, you'll be making it difficult for people to give you money. All else being equal, this is a very bad idea.
If only Tim Cook said that instead of saying "I don't consider the bloody ROI, and if you don't like that, divest". There's a legit approach of going short term, and it may be wrong, and if it is wrong, it can be explained why it is wrong - just as you did. Or it can be shouted down - because how dare those neanderthals ask us questions? I'd rather like to live in a climate where questions get answered, not shouted down.

That OSC code might be the key to make this project really interesting and powerful. But you are right, to make this safe, some sanitization or other sandbox would be needed. This could be hard/impossible if there is JavaScript involved in the inline HTML.
my experience has been that you can get pretty close to becoming an expert with practicing on your own.

but a lot of times i reached a point where i needed support to break a certain barrier. when i say support i mean an expert. someone that can help make things better.

sometimes though, this is not true. sometimes too much invalid practice lead to the expert saying i don't like to deal with this sort of stuff. "i have make you unlearn a lot of the mistakes you learned before."

this is extremely true in society. while you might argue that the following is not practice and expertise, it's classic case of mental practice from invalid societal patterns https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7302645

I sometimes browse the frontpage of reddit and I feel like the best way to advertise there is by making "real" submissions.

I've seen quite a lot of highly upvoted submissions like "look what my girlfriend got me!" linking to a picture of some "geeky" product. Maybe I'm a bit cynical but I can't help thinking 80% of them are just marketing in disguise.

Also, you don't even have to pay to submit those stories. I'm not sure how reddit could solve this problem.

I pay some of my staff in bitcoin... it is cheaper and easier than using Paypal to be honest, and significantly, significantly cheaper than dealing with international wire transfers. And when they need cash they can sell at a markup using localbitcoins. Yes, I also have a small business without "layers of processes and scar tissue built up around payments," but is this really the community to trash startups?

The easiest answer to the parent poster's question is to offer a slight discount for bitcoin payments. Or just accept cash and use that to purchase bitcoins as needed. Doing a bit of SEO work around bitcoins can also make your business more visible to people who want to pay using it. I currently pay for some server infrastructure in BTC as well, and found those companies through web searches.
The market will solve the problem as it always does. Customers the world over will cease relying on American software and data services, which will cause enough pain in the U.S. that pressure will finally be brought to bear on Congress to act, and the surveillance will be reined in, albeit probably too little too late to lure back much of the business.

Ultimately, we'll have a more dispersed and diversified industry with more infrastructure and offices in places that are beyond the reach of government spies. New cryptographic techniques will help protect data, and there will be a new transparency among companies that guarantee data privacy: they'll need to prove it to increasingly skeptical customers.

The internet will map around this problem as it always has.

Yes. A conversation was possible for the decade before Snowden leaked. Those who could have initiated it, from the government to these companies, did not do so. Bemoaning the inability to have a conversation -now- is really just bemoaning the inability to sweep everything under the rug as people demand substantive change.
Google is no more a "do-no-evil" company than most. They might be slightly above average. Their "employee friendliness", as far as it goes, is blatantly self-serving, designed to create extreme allegiance to the company and possibly long working-hours. This is not in itself "bad", it's just that it isn't altruistic in the slightest, either.

If you're on a server that doesn't have an X environment set up for wireshark, you can use tcpdump to spit to a file:

-w Write the raw packets to file rather than parsing and printing them out. They can later be printed with the -r option. Standard output is used if file is ``-''. See pcap-savefile(5) for a description of the file format.

You can then open this file in wireshark on your desktop for easier analysis if you wish.

How to create 2D illustration video?

Some observations from the screenshot:

* The screen resolution of iOS Car is 800x480 px - a lower resolution than the iPhone 4 (960x640 px).

* The "home" button is part of the touch screen like on Android (tablets).
There's definitely overhead, and simply choosing not to get into that game is a legitimate choice (often a good one, if other funding is available). How it's managed can make the experience differ greatly though. One of the consortium partners is supposed to be the managing partner, and if they do a good job, the scientific partners should be in much better shape. Of course, they don't always.

I haven't done a deep investigation, but anecdotally the projects that have worked best for us have a managing partner that is a research institute, not a university, i.e. full-time researchers who are used to managing large projects and have substantial administrative support for doing so. For example CERTH (http://www.certh.gr/root.en.aspx) do that kind of thing well. This is kind of analogous to doing a big DARPA project in the U.S. with a partner like BBN or SRI, who know how to handle DARPA, are staffed to do so, and can take care of the interface.

I think, though this is more speculative, that it also helps if the managing partner is in southern Europe, contrary to the usual stereotype about efficiency. Mostly because costs are lower: if a managing partner in Denmark is given €200k/yr, we can hire 3-4 staff members, while the Greek managing partner we worked with hired 10 staff members on that same budget (some researchers and some secretarial). They took care of nearly all the project's paperwork as a result. I think people in bureaucratic countries are also better at navigating the EU bureaucracy quickly. The administrative staff here (Denmark) are really slow at it and in a sense take it too seriously, not realizing that Brussels paperwork is not the same as Danish paperwork. Much of it is filler, not something you should agonize over and spend a lot of time filling out (some of it is important, but you need to recognize which is which to get anything done). With this kind of arrangement, full-time staff who know how to do such things should be writing the reports, not PhD students. I'm not sure we're even allowed to have PhD students do that kind of work; it might be seen by the PhD oversight board as misusing them.

Nationally funded projects are definitely lower-overhead, but there's also much less money for basic science, at least here. If you're developing smart-grid technology or wind power, there is a ton of targeted research funding. If you're doing theoretical CS, not so much. Whereas the EU explicitly has blue-skies research calls, and is currently pouring money into fairly long-term stuff like computational creativity.

I think I said that, with the caveat that different jurisdictions have varying stipulations about what the fiduciary obligations of companies are, and there has been some legal controversy about the idea over the years. There has been, unfortunately, case law that takes the idea seriously [see esp. 1].

Today, I think, it is hard to find people who think it is good for companies to be obliged to maximise shareholder value. John Kay, a British economist, journalist and author of the excellent Kay Review [2], has written very well about the problems of expansive readings of fiduciary responsibility.

[1]: Katz v. Oak Indus., Inc., 508 A.2d 873, 879 (Del. Ch. 1986) judged “It is the obligation of directors to attempt, within the law, to maximize the long-run interests of the corporation’s stockholders." In Long v. Norwood Hills Corp., 380 S.W.2d 451 (Mo. Ct. App. 1964), the court observed: “Plaintiff cites many authorities [including Dodge] to show that the ultimate object of every ordinary trading corporation is the pecuniary gain of its stockholders and that it is for this purpose the capital has been advanced.” - via http://www.professorbainbridge.com/professorbainbridgecom/20...

Not sure if you know it, but there is zero information on the internet for the wast majority of apps. Even if there are reviews, they are done by people who played for five minutes and then wrote something as fast as possible.

I wanted to play (and buy) a game the other day. It turned out that unless friend brought and recommended, there is no way to learn about gameplay, difficulty, length, whether there are in app purchases or not etc. The only way to learn those things is to buy and then find out you do not like the game or that it is very short.

It was not big deal for me, I googled for couple of hours and them brought nothing.

There are hundreds of games being published every day and only maybe 1% of them are any good. That IS discovery problem and it is problem mainly for game developers. Since customers like me have no way to distinguish between those good games and bad games, we buy something random and then see.

The result is that good and bad games earn the same, since they are largely brought on random. The main losers are here good games developers.

It depends. If you hack the box, overwrite the CAN-ID (and therefore impersonating other devices in the car) by rewriting the boxes' CAN-Controller-Firmware you can circumvent all ID based security. As long as CAN doesn't implement a private/public key auth it's possible to own the car by owning a box.

On the other hand one could try to separate the CAN-Controller from the box (entertainment system in this case) physically and only allow a serial connection to push/pull CAN messages. But from my understanding right now the entertainment system could overwrite the firmware of the CAN -Controller and inject malicious packages. AFAIR the the 30c3 talk pointed that out as well.

The different CAN busses are not (always) separated physically.

I find myself increasingly leaning towards OpenStreetMap due to the utterly infuriating changes in the Google Maps interfaces, and that's even knowing the GM privacy issues.

OSM has definite holes in the data, but that's fixable, yet also suffers from a too much information by default situation for their standard representations. The map data is there, but the resulting maps just aren't quite as good, though I'm sure someone will use it to get there.
A little sad to read they're thinking about replacing Buildbot. I spent quite a bit of time making a Buildbot-based CI system and was very impressed with its capabilities.

> "Bare metal virtualization with OpenStack for Mac, Windows, ARM boards is an open problem"

Compared to some of the other stuff he has done (privatised space launches) this is one is actually on the tame end of the spectrum.

That definition is wrong, it implies that "free to use" also means "free to read/modify the code" and "resell it". By GNU definition, software like Opera isn't free. Not even something as basic as (most) Windows drivers. It also completely ignores microtransactions (though of course those wouldn't really be an issue if the user had the source). Completely useless definition for this case. It works with "free" as in "freedom", not "free to use" (it's right on the 4th line).
I'm sure the people who don't breathe without looking up what Stallman thinks about it will down-vote me to hell, but that won't make this definition more relevant for this.
There are cars with Windows Automotive [1], it supports the bluetooth stack. Most smartphones work fine, you can play music, access the address book, doing phone calls, etc. A bit sad is that Android and iOS don't support all bluetooth features so some features like reading SMS are only available with older feature-phones from Nokia & co. [2] It also supports USB sticks/drives and plays mp3 files.

If iOS Car offers similar features there is no reason not to buy such cars.

with docker, your guest machines run the same kernel as your host, but a different root filesystem and init system. the result is that you can run centOS on docker on Ubuntu, but you'll get centOS with the Ubuntu kernel. So, you lose some flexibility with the kernel of your VM. But a docker container is extremely light weight. it boots in a few hundred milliseconds, and it only costs a small amount more resources to run a service inside docker than if you had just run the service on the host system directly.
Pfft, the extra mile. Transporting your goods around the world on coal burning ships does not an environmentalist make.

Large and widespread bug dispersal is different from traffic cams. And there are countermeasures (e.g., an in-car camera laser which would target surveillance cameras within line-of-site) which could nondestructively counter surveillance equipment.

Similarly, I was suggesting defenses which might simply emit signals or project a cone of silence where bots are detected.

I'm also not aware of any case being made for destruction of government property, say, where tracking devices have been found on vehicles (there are a few news stories concerning this), though I recall at least one in which the US government agency involved (the FBI) wanted its tracker back.
Strange post, or maybe I'm missing the point, or is it supposed to be sarcastic? Also what's with the generalisations ('enterprise shops don't like change & non-enterprise do', come on)?

half assed versions things of F# already had (tuples, async and tasks I’m looking at you)

yes F# has those, but afaik so do a myriad of other languages. Even before F# saw the daylight. I'm also not sure what is half assed about them, the implementation seems quite complete?

a language that is afraid to change anything

coming from a post talking about new features and 'changing into F#' that's quite a contradiction, no?
How do you explain the excessive seizures of everything by the TSA? They auction massive lots of things they take from people, where do you think all that money goes? Certainly not back to taxpayers.

If there is not a bonus, then it is something more subtle like a performance review perk. Unless it just boils down to TSA agents enjoying being a-holes. Remember the TSA has not prevented one single incident, in fact they constantly fail security tests, which is also swept under the rug.

The TSA is theater, pure and simple, and they've learned to put on a big show or face extinction, starting at the individual job level all the way up the organization.

I am also pretty sure they are astroturfing against negative comments about them (not accusing you of that, just saying it seems to be a pattern on the internet).
It can. 48 hours might also make you an expert, or a lifetime, or you may never become an expert, or you might be born an expert. I was born an expert in screaming very loudly and getting lost, for instance. It depends on who you are and what you are trying to become an expert in.
