Well I guess not everyone can hire extra engineers to run and keep Hadoop happy so this is a viable solution for smaller teams as long as the performance is on par. I am no big data guy nor have I worked with Petabytes of data but as a front end focused developer running the tech part of my startup, I'd rather deploy Crate and worry less about it than pay tons of money for a DBaas solution.
I haven't read SICP (shame on me!), but I didn't think it had a reputation of a "hard book". Isn't it designed to be introductory textbook for freshmen students?
Wow. I guess the last time i look at the differences was around 1.1 Thanks for the correction
+1 Gets the job done.
On cursory first glance Sirius looks more advanced than Hazelcast: Sirius seems to provide substantially more flexible cluster topologies along with "real" consistency behavior (via Paxos). Plus, Sirius seems to come with a built-in persistence system with at least some thought applied to it, while last I checked Hazelcast left persistence entirely up to the library consumer.

As a disclaimer I haven't looked at the implementations of either, only the documentation (and I used Hazelcast in a project a while ago).

The author's theory allows not just for insincere entrepreneurs but also incompetent ones. No matter how strongly an entrepreneur believes his idea to be a billion dollar business, it's very possible that it isn't, even if he's able to convince investors (and himself) that it could be based on some superficial metrics.
NSA Obvserver: a list of all programs and attack vectors with sources
I'm interested to learn about their sandboxing. They allow a lot of user-submitted code to run server side. How do they sandbox this? What level of isolation do they use?

- If language-runtime patches, then there are escapes likely.
- If chroot, then there are escapes.
- If linux namespaces, then there are escapes.
- If ...

Which level did they go for?
Not necessarily - an honest mistake would do as well - the point is that the companies that make that mistake get the funding.
Great read. I look forward to the day when Economic graduate programs are taught from a more biological/psychological perspective than through aggregate supply/demand and equilibria models. The real issue here is that macroeconomic systems cannot be predicted or successfully controlled, but they can surely be made more robust. The current policies in practice are potentially dangerous.

> It is a mail server in a box aimed to be deployed securely into any cloud infrastructure. It provides no user interface to send or check one’s mail but implements all of the underlying protocols that other applications (mail clients), such as Google K-9 for mobile devices, Mailpile, and Mozilla Thunderbird, can interoperate with.

The combination of Mail-in-a-box and Mailpile seems pretty exciting.

Since running your own mail server is opening a new vector for attack, I'd be curious how Mail-in-a-box is going to handle security updates.
I am not blaming anyone. Stereo equipment got very popular in the 70s and in the 80s it became very cheap to produce good enough electronics, so high valued brands effectively did a hostile takeover of themselves and burned their product lines down making things that mimicked their earlier higher quality goods.

There are a relatively small number of participants in any system doing stuff that is new or truly creative, everyone else copies the leader.

First it was netbooks, then it was tablets. Markets I think are sprouted by first movers, who after fail, and truly grown by an army of mimics.
There are legitimate reasons to pirate, but "I want to consume it but I don't want to pay for it" isn't one of them. That is the mindset of a tool.
I agree wholeheartedly. I have tried over and over to get into programming and web building. I can go through the courses, retain some knowledge, but when it comes time to build something I'm lost. I feel too often these services focus too much on the middle, but not the beginning and end. As you said, understanding and learning about loops are important, but should not be the full focus.

For example the API stuff on Codecademy doesn't go into the full picture of how you build this into page. I have struggled mightily with understanding how the whole process works. I would love to find a service that walks me through building a page in Flask, hosting it and integrating it into APIs of popular services.

Instead of letting the C-compiler compile a huge array, you can use objcopy.

objcopy -I binary -O elf32-littlearm -B arm /etc/passwd passwd.o

extern void _binary__etc_passwd_size;
/* ..._start is the first byte of data */
extern char _binary__etc_passwd_start;
/* ..._end is the one following the last byte of data */
extern char _binary__etc_passwd_end;

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
/* "address" of the symbol ..._size is the size */
/* you could also do size = &..._end - &..._start; */
size_t size = &_binary__etc_passwd_size;

printf("Dumping /etc/passwd, in memory @%p, size is %ld.\n",
&_binary__etc_passwd_start, size);
write(1,&_binary__etc_passwd_start,size);
exit(0);
}

I love OpenSMTPD. The only issue I had with it was, no filter API (just fixed, as of a month ago or so) and to get things like spam and antivirus filtering, or domainkeys, you have to proxy chain it. Also, the API changed very rapidly, and I had to run nightlies for a while to get around a few issues (I'm on stable now though with no problems.) These things add complexity to the configuration, but I would still rather do this than maintain any other mail server software.
In brief: animals who are not poisonous or dangerous copy the markings / signals of animals who are and thus gain protection of being vicious killers without the metabolic cost.

This article posits that all the woes of Capitalism are due to copycat entrepreneurs offering "facebook for dogs" and eventually the investment that would go to killer companies to create wealth simply vanishes

I cry rubbish here. Firstly he destroys his argument in the article himself ("""alternatively, one could remember the rule "Red on yellow, kill a fellow; red on black, friend of Jack" """). Fairly simple rules of thumb allow even not-so-smart-money to avoid Facebook for dogs.

Secondly mimicry is only a useful defence against predators of the killers. Killer snake happily kill non-poisonous snakes as well as prey.

And finally, Hy Minsky seems to have this already sewn up - Hedging, Speculating, Ponzi.

Sidenote: my all time favourite Batesian mimicry is the Cheetah cub, (http://milgistrust.wildlifedirect.org/files/2009/01/23.12.08...) whose colouring reflects that of the adult Honey Badger. Honey Badgers are great, such vicious fighters that lions basically think "I'll leave that for another day" - the animal kingdom's equivalent of short hairless Glaswegian pub landlords.

The metabolites of MDMA are thought to be neurotoxic. Though it's known the chemical itself is not. In a sane world, we would use drug discovery to find drugs with similar effects but without the toxic metabolites. But we love to punish people for their vices, so there is no research on creating safer alternatives to existent drugs.

Responding to criticism of the Immunity Project's lack of peer review:

"If the traditional science community wants to say these things aren’t going to work, they can keep doing that. That’s what used to happen with software companies. The Immunity Project may fail, and the next 30 things we fund may fail — and the whole model is such that that’s OK. We can have 31 failures and one success, and the model still works great. That’s how we’re designed."

I'm being serious. I come from a farming family and see companies selling new technology at huge prices, and other areas where nothing has been done.

Once I finished some other projects I'll looking into Arduino or something similar to start hacking at some ideas I have.

By the way, you are indeed right that farmers have already done most of the hacking themselves.
It is very much "here be dragons" but a lot of that is because of legacy compatibility issues from when mail was delivered directly to local users.

If you don't care about local access (IMAP & POP is good enough, no mutt to the mail spool for you) Dovecot is a huge improvement on everything else. You configure it to listen directly for LMTP and use MySQL for user information and Maildir for data it's almost as easy as running a random php+mysql webapp.
Even serverside filtering with sieve "just works".

The inbound SMTP/Spam filtering stack is still a PITA but that's because of security issues (spam).

DBmail (dbmail.org) is one rework that seemed sane but stores all messages in a RDBMS and I didn't want to deal with scaling it at work (little ISP, ~10k mail users, ~1.5 million messages per day including spam) but it was fine for personal use.

I've been playing with homegrown POP & SMTP servers that use a s3 compatible datastore as the backend but that's a side project. People go crazy over email so I really want a simple to operate, sane, zero point of failure mail system...
I set up my own by hand and it worked great for about a year. Then emails started to not get sent and incoming ones were vanishing too. Then it all went to hell and just completely stopped working.

I gave up and went to fastmail. Setting it all up wasn't a problem. Maintaining it was a nightmare.
It's funny that they didn't interview any actual neighborhood-dealers. The people sitting on the corner slinging dope have a much more dangerous job than people with clientele who are discreet and wealthy. I suppose it's because they're perceived as so dangerous that reporters never talk to them. But ask a corner man his life story and he'll tell you about serving time, getting shot, and paying off cops to stay alive. Stories like this one really gives you a romantic - and unrealistic - idea of dealing.
A few years ago, I was coaching my son's recreational soccer team. I wasn't involved in the all too common youth league shenanigans where coaches 'request' players and it was reflected in the average level of experience and athleticism of the children. Then again it didn't really occur to me to try. Anyway, against the odds the team advanced through the year end tournament and to all the way to the finals...of a U10 local rec league.

Because we were playing the most stacked team I decided that the best chance of winning would be to limit the playing time of the two weakest players - something I had not done all season. The kids lost 9-1, anyway.

Bad choices I made when I was young, don't bother me. Part of being young is not knowing better. This one was different. I went against being the kind of person I want to be, and asking myself "Is that action the sort of action that is consistent with the kind of person I want to be?" is for me the essence of ethical action.

I bring this up to point out that the idea you are thinking about isn't validated. If you're going to steal it, own the action. Don't pretend that bringing along the CEO guy with the website changes anything morally or ethically - injustice upon one person or two or three are all morally equivalent.

The worst case scenario isn't that the business fails, it's if you hurt people and it fails. You won't even have the ends justifying the means. It's fucking web app not a cure for cancer.

Keep a healthy perspective and good luck.

Not that it isn't difficult, but the creator of Papers, Please pulled off programming, music and art apparently all by himself. I think it's possible to create expressive pixel art with some dedicated practice.

It's not a "woe of Capitalism", just an inherent property of an economy. In fact, it's an inherent property of all life. Economic cycles and life/death cycles in species have a lot in common. The dynamic nature of such systems make them hard to predict, but you can be sure that they will continue to occur. It's a way of resetting (or reallocating) resources that is essential.
Bitrig is working on support though. The devs have a few Exynos based devices, including that particular one.
I think the article in the OP is a particularly modern problem in societies with widely disparate socio-ethnic demographies. I think in more monocultural nations (India and CHina come immediately to mind) there is a much higher base level commonality of shared experience that translates particularly well into an assumed familiarity with other people.

In America, a lot of what is actually important (family, friendship, love) is sacrificed at the altar of self.

I am part of Agile Collective (http://agilecollective.com/), a UK base web development company governed as a workers co-op. We are 7 permanent members, up from 6 when founded in 2011.
We are a company limited by shares, and we do have a structure in which we have two type of shares: member shares, one for each member, and equity shares which can be used to raise capital. Only the member shares have any voting power in governance, so contrary to what jawns said, you can have outside shareholders. We are still for profit, and do share profits with members, but the main point is that the members have the decision making power, not equity share holders. (We don't actually have any external equity share holders, but it is an interesting area for consideration if trying to raise money to expand.)

working on a FIPS embedded network product right at the moment, gosh it's a maze to get even started, I'm still going to use the now patched openssl for this, as really, the alternatives are not many, and openssl remains to be the most deployed one in the field.
checked NSS but its usage in embedded device is rare, other ssls(ploarssl, matrixssl) may work, but again openssl just wins on the popularity side, in a huge way.
Ask HN: When will the physicality of digital storage be unmanageable?
There are numerous organizations that are backing up data, and often times backing up the data to multiple locations (internet.org, amazon S3, dropbox, etc). Often times these sites taut site Geo-redundancy. But the data has to be physically stored somewhere.

A few facts I could glean (somewhat dated)

- In 2013 Amazon stores 2 trillion objects (http://gigaom.com/2013/04/18/amazon-s3-goes-exponential-now-stores-2-trillion-objects/). The only fact I could find about the size of those objects, is that each object has ~1-2k of metadata associated with it.

- In 2012 Dropbox has a billion files saved every day[2] (http://gigaom.com/2012/11/13/how-big-is-dropbox-hint-very-big/). Again size is not mentioned.

I wonder if anyone has actually done any research or have thoughts on the subject. The closest I could find was the work done by a redditor a thread about the Utah NSA facility discussion (http://www.reddit.com/r/restorethefourth/comments/1jf6cx/the_guardian_releases_another_leaked_document_nsa/cbedj6l?context=3). It leads me to believe that entire datacenters are built often just to keep up with the demand of the growth.
That has to be the coolest idea I have heard in a very very long time.

Absolutely no convincing long term value, but we just have to do it, just because we can. No asteroids to mine, no Mars bases to build, but "what happens if we go over there and look"

Ask HN: Which is the best fraud detection service for online stores?
We have been victim of a lot of chargebacks from clients lately. Since we sell a service it is almost nearly impossible to have the money back either from Paypal or the Credit card companies.

I experienced something completely different. I set up a postfix/dovecot/ldap/nginx/roundcube/spam/... for a medium sized office with some special needs last month and was amazed how easy it is. Especially postfix and dovecot are a breeze to work with.
