Well, if you're not using ipv6 it can be a bit tricky to map a (public) ip to each application server/container/whatnot. For web services you need a front-end router/proxy that understands http host headers and/or SNI (for ssl). If you have that, you can map stuff in DNS, and still use just port 80/443 on the "user facing" side:

client sends "host: some.service.example.com" -> proxy (alias for some.service.example.com) routes -> internal-ip:port

If you have enough public ips (be that ipv4 or ipv6) the "proxy" can just be a firewall rule that maps/NATs public-ip:80 to service:80 (or whatever). Not that that is necessarily a good idea.

Virtualhosting and proxying are related to containerizing (containing?) services -- but you could for example set up your reverse proxy in one container, map all traffic there, and then after deciphering host-headers and/or SNI route traffic to different back-ends.

It depends on what your needs are. For low traffic services, simply having the container answer on an external ip might be fine.

If you want to do more sophisticated load-balancing some system needs to take care of that, typically between the client and the back-end server (DNS only allows for round-robin distribution, barring tricks like giving different replies depending on who (from where) is asking).

Personally I'm leaning towards moving my "internal" ip-related stuff to ipv6 and only multihoming my outward facing points to ipv4 -- for simplicity. It does mean I actually have to set up firewall rules again, as most "internal" systems are now technically exposed. I guess it depends on how one draws the line -- does the container manage its own SSL/TLS termination (if applicable)?
Nope. Games are widely varied in their scope and delivery. I am fairly confident there is no single target.
They mention that they weren't fired.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this yet: exactly this was one of the standard disasters in SimCity 2000, where "microwave" was one of the power plant types.
You mean, like IRC?

I recently wrote to Mr. Nelson and he is still working on his grand dream.
I was very recently at a conference where some folks presented their work on using Wikipedia for disease tracking - it's considerably more nuanced than just "better than CDC". Large variation by area, disease, etc.

Disease surveillance hasn't been well served in the past decade by breathless attempts to replace existing systems with a "Big Data" solution - syndromic surveillance, then Google Flu Trends, then Twitter, now this.

Combinations people! Different data streams tell you different things.
This doesn't surprise me in the least, but the increase in 2013 is obviously due to increased security scrutiny, which is good so long as people act on that information.

As a side note, I'd be interested to see a similar analysis of popular Java projects.
I think a more appropriate comparison would the marginal cost of adding another distribution channel, which was the basis of my analogy. I'm not talking about getting a Big Mac for free, but about the unfounded expectation of having one delivered to you.
Existing electronic health record (EHR) systems already have to deal with this.

The ones I am most familiar with have on-site data centers, so it's not purely in "the cloud" but you can have webapps running from on-site servers and call them "cloud" systems if you want.

The existing systems have ways for printing out important data from a redundant computer system to hand out paper copies if the user workstations, network, or servers are down. I don't know what they would do if there was no electricity anywhere, but I assume hospitals could use their backup generators for this since medical equipment also needs electricity.
Excel is dominant because it runs on Windows and is supplied with MS Office.

Many people would be fine to use other spreadsheet software but why bother going through the bother of researching and downloading and learning that software when your company probably has Excel licences and you've got some entry level training that used Excel?

That dominance has other effects. There is a huge amoun of support (training courses; books; Usenet groups and forums; Magazine articles; other people in the office; etc) for Excel that don't translate immediately to Excel. There are very many third party tools to help you do stuff in Excel if you really need it to. And Excel is probably some people's first introduction to programming. (Which is perhaps a bit scary.)

I speak as someone who loves gnumeric and LibreOffice btw.

Actually, few paragraphs later, he did say they are not fired.

"In the end, the layoffs didn’t stick. The project managers Page had intended to fire that day were instead brought into Google’s growing operations organization"
So much rich history is likely lost because it deviated too far from the dominating narrative of the time.
Yes, in virtually name and PO box only.
It suffered from recent political instability.
He's ignoring one constraint: land area. You need to put those panels somewhere. This approach let you perform the concentration somewhere you aren't renting real estate. For an extremely dense island nation like Japan this actually makes a lot of sense.

Now, this doesn't refute the issues Musk is bringing up here, but he isn't taking consideration of this factor at all.
Yup, it's one of those annoying things that makes run scripts more complicated. I rewrote phusion's runit setuser helper in Go because it didn't set all the right env vars.

As one of those OTO tech people I was excited to see this here, but a little disappointed that there wasn't any description of what Thelema is about - basically (elevator speech explanation follows) a religion of discovering who you are and being that person. The references to hedonism and the 'darker side of magic' without the context that these are means of self discovery and acknowledging the darker side of existence comes across as sensationalist, at least to me.

I've never been to Israel, but from what I've read:

- If you get three Israelis in a room, on most subjects you'll find four very different viewpoints.

- The media are free and have a large range. From what I've seen in English, much more allowed than the almost censored Swedish media.

(But sure, it is a country in a permanent low intensive war -- and the only country in the world with a nuclear weapon threat over their heads. That will influence the general attitude quite a lot.)
Total nostalgia anecdote here, but Sim City 2000 had that as a disaster. I believe it was a constant risk whenever you built orbital-solar-to-microwave plants.
> This is also a problem in the US if you manage to just cross a tax bracket.

Well, it would be, if the US adopted a tax bracket with a > 100% marginal rate. But it hasn't, so it doesn't. Though its a persistent myth, because people don't understand marginal tax rates and confuse them with total tax rates. (Or, for a similar problem, as illustrated in another subthread, don't understand the related concept of how deductions phase out before you reach the point where they are no longer available.)
I'm not sure if you are disagreeing with me or not. The problem is that we have no idea what language or metalanguage we should start with.
According to who's idea of what is or isn't idiomatic? Yours? Don Stewart's?

http://www.willamette.edu/~fruehr/haskell/evolution.html

Is this "idiomatic": http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/program.php?tes...

"One can, with sufficient effort, essentially write C code in Haskell using various unsafe primitives. We would argue that this is not true to the spirit and goals of Haskell, and we have attempted in this paper to remain within the space of “reasonably idiomatic” Haskell. However, we have made abundant use of strictness annotations, explicit strictness, and unboxed vectors. We have, more controversially perhaps, used unsafe array subscripting in places. Are our choices reasonable?"

On the contrary, there's a certain thread of the skeptic movement that attacks anything that isn't "scientific" enough. It's basically a kind of fundamentalism. Fundie positivism?
You should've started off with the hedging or formed your hypothesis as a question if you were unsure. People aren't going to read past the presumptuous claim to see if you walked it back - they're just going to hit the downvote button.

Also, I don't appreciate your thanking me as a way of passive-aggressively casting judgment on other downvoters. Nobody owes it to you to explain their downvote. I get that it was unexpected and kind of dismaying, but that doesn't mean drive-by downvoting was the wrong thing to do here.

But they were never even laid off, that's the point. How can layoffs "not stick"? If people were fired they wouldn't still have been working there.
I agree. The fact that a large number of Ruby/Rails apps fall behind in terms of keeping dependencies up-to-date speaks more to Ruby's adoption than to its inherent insecurity. Without comparing these figures to other languages/frameworks (and accounting for flaws in completely custom-built apps), it's hard to draw any real conclusions here.
I know. I'm desperate to pull some random file off an old 5.25 and be the guy saying "ohhhh it's one of these! I used to do my homework on one" — naturally to the astonishment of my young helpers.

It sounds like Medisas is solving only a single problem while Epic, Cerner, etc. are larger solutions for the bulk of health record tasks.

I would be more interested to know whether Medisas will integrate with these existing enterprise systems or be an independent source of information. In terms of Medisas's long-term plans, could Epic, Cerner, etc. just add this same feature to their software and wipe out Medisas's market?
A bit, but more available to people and quick to share.
> Is this even dangerous, or am I off base? I know they're nervous about nuclear since Fukishima, but unless I'm mistaken there's similar risks with this option.

No, not true. Don't confuse ionizing radiation as from Fukushima, with non-ionizing radiation, as from microwaves. They're very different. Microwave radiation isn't nearly as dangerous -- it can't break cellular bonds like ionizing radiation can, it can only heat things up.

A microwave power system would have to pass strict safety tests, to make sure the microwave radiation level at the surface (near occupied areas) is well below that from the other big electromagnetic emitter -- the sun. That should be an easy standard to meet.

The problem is that (in the USA), most academic research is funded via taxpayers (either via outright grants or indirectly via student tuition and government tuition assistance).

The professors write and edit and referee the papers for free.

Then, that research is copyrighted and owned by a corporation, who is allowed to extract economic rent by charging for access.

Professors have to publish in the top journals (owned by these corporations), because that's how they advance their careers.

BUT, if all the professors switched AT THE SAME TIME, it would work. If you're the only professor who switches, you're just ruining your own career.

Hi HN, this is something I helped create at Thinkful. Let me know if you have any questions, feedback or suggestions.
The graphs of Gem distribution and Vulnerability distribution are utter nonsense. You can't just measure your mean and standard deviation and expect a bell curve that fits those two parameters to correspond to your distribution. Especially if you cut off one of the tails.
Prior discussions of the Parsons story are not confined to Scientology history.

It was covered (in 2 or 3 pages IIRC) in Mike Davis's 1990 book "City of Quartz". This book was widely reviewed and widely discussed, and was re-issued a couple of years ago.

That's where I first read the Parsons story, and I've seen it a few times since then.
And then it died :P

Despite having what seems to be a reasonable level of access via my university subscription, I too sometimes have the same problem, especially for older papers.

Some online resources I quite like for this:

http://www.reddit.com/r/scholar - paper requests fulfilled by people who happen to have access

http://www.libgen.org/ - large collection of scientific articles (and other literature), searchable by DOI

http://www.sci-hub.org/ - proxy service for accessing publisher collections; very unreliable though

Hope this helps with your research!

I'm so sorry. I crashed your room. Can I send you an e-mail saying how I did it?

EDIT: I hesitate to post my e-mail to HN or to paste publicly how I did it, but it was trivial. Reply with your e-mail and I'll show you how I did it. It's probably a simple fix.
Yeah, but with Facebook and Reddit, you're not paying a ton of money to have access to journal articles you need to study for your chosen profession. You're just looking at some advertisements in exchange for some funny cat pictures.

One of those may lighten your mood for the day, the other of those advances civilization and the human condition as a whole.

Most of the debris is in low orbits. So no direct problem.
But if you build it in low earth orbit and fly it out on its own power in a slow spiral, then it's going to be a big problem. Flying with chemical rockets only up to LEO and electric propulsion from there on saves mass hugely.
Best to assemble moderate pieces and fly them higher after completion.
If you do many small tests, you can pick confidence level less that 95%. Even if you call tests at 70% confidence, as long as you are iterating rapidly, you'll end up ahead in the long run. Also, you can revisit the same tests later. As long as your testing ideas aren't prohibitively expensive in time and implementation, there's very little risk at calling tests below 95% confidence.
What is the hardest thing you have ever done?

Runit is great as a tool to manage your own daemons. But as a general init system for distributions? Not so much. Just take a look at the /sbin/my_init system that we wrote for baseimage-docker and what kind of functionality it adds on top of Runit, to give you an idea of why Runit by itself is not enough. Runit also performs no dependency management (i.e. starting one service before another) so it's quite painful in certain situations. For example, if you have a background queue daemon that depends on PostgreSQL, then you have to manually make sure that the daemon is not started until PostgreSQL is available. Otherwise you get tons of useless error messages as your daemon keeps getting restarted.
I love how the last thing he said was "well I had to do some sanitization if I'm going to submit it to a place called Hacker News. Otherwise I'd get owned pretty quickly".
In today's modern first world prejudices? All of them are offended, since he has dares NOT believed in a unprovable negative.

It should always be okay to have faith in something and believe that other people are wrong. Not to belittle the one you see as wrong BUT sadly this is always lost in us all.
There are two different forms of scientific history. The history of science as used for future scientific development lives in academic papers, journals, conferences, and similar; those are preserved as a record of historical development progress. That history is, when functioning correctly, blind to outside issues like this.

On the other hand, there's scientific history as captured by news and popular culture, which focuses on personalities, personal stories, struggles, and development. In that version of history, it shouldn't be at all surprising that people prefer to hide the crazy people and focus on those that can successfully serve as visible PR figures. That doesn't denigrate their contributions, but it avoids making them visible figureheads when they're not appropriate for a figurehead role.

You can complain about outside politics affecting science, but far too often, people like this will bring their politics into their science, such as in interviews and discussions; sweeping people under the rug doesn't just happen because of embarassment about past actions, but for fear of future embarassment. And that future embarassment can then cause problems when trying to get popular support and funding, which makes it entirely rational to focus on the scientists who can safely talk to other people.
This an interesting philosophical and liberal political essay he wrote: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bb/babalon210.htm .

let's talk about proportions and tax law here. I don't find my argument countered in any ways. 1) this is a collection that doesn't go to the general budget, it's a directed levy. 2) it's not as if the record companies main income and business model was to sell to public institutions. Whereas most of the scientific articles are bought by publicly funded laboratories, hospitals, universities (in the non-US world) etc.
The trouble with the "space travel will save us from overpopulation" argument is that, no matter what technology we come up with in the medium-term future, it is difficult to imagine ever solving overpopulation problems with emigration of any type - we just can't move enough people fast enough. As far as I know, in the entire history of the world, we have never moved enough of a population of healthy, established citizens of any region to alleviate any overpopulation issues. Anything even kind of like that mostly involves heavily threatened populations relocating under duress with little more than what they can carry. If they're lucky, they might manage to settle somewhere that will help them get back on their feet.

There was an interesting passage in the Red Mars series about this. On their Earth, then had 11 (!) operational space elevators and a severe overpopulation problem. The numbers were all theoretical, of course, but they calculated that, even with 11 space elevators working full-tilt on sending people off the planet, they still wouldn't come close to making a dent in the world population. It's hard to imagine any kind of technology that could actually move and settle people off of Earth by the billions.
There are some truly strange and incongruous turns of phrase in this article - "Google's human resources boss, a serious woman with bangs named Stacey Sullivan", "Finally Rosing, a bald man in glasses, began to speak", "Though he was an appealing presence with above-average height and nearly black hair", etc.

Hey!

I'm one of the maintainers behind the Ruby advisory database: https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db

We're trying to build a common database for people building these tools; at the moment, trawling through CVE disclosures and various mailing lists is a largely manual process that we can reap economies of scale by pooling our efforts together.

It's free and volunteer run. I would like to encourage you and anyone else reading this who is interested in bolstering the security ecosystem to consider using and contributing to the advisory database.

It's the database that powers http://github.com/rubysec/bundler-audit and (disclaimer: I made this) https://gemcanary.com and the more people contributing the more we can all benefit from improving the ways we can notify end users of their vulnerable dependencies.

Thanks,
