not necessary. A modern conflict can happen in the disputed area without anybody bombing cities of the opponent. iPhones will continue to be shipped to US from China while J-20 will be playing hide-and-seek with F-22/35 over, say, the South China Sea. A very related example - Great Britain didn't bomb Buenos Aires 32 years ago nor did Argentina strike at anything Britain's outside of the war zone.
Are you sure? Yes, Power8 has impressive single threaded benchmarks. But Intel has long dominated the single threaded performance market due to their fab edge and their economies of scale (lets them put more into R&D than IBM).

Just wondering if you have more benchmarks than what looks like Spec benchmarks? I'm definitely interested if another manufacturer can beat Intel at single-threaded performance.
I often find (in my own code as well) that nobody ever remembers OpenMP. It has some overhead, but it's not that big even without fixed thread count tuning (with which it nearly vanishes). Not automatic, but damn close.

Agreed. It seems impossible at the moment, but we should ask ourselves what the ideal situation would be and work to get there: what about a world government (democratically elected) that respects the diversity and autonomy of all nations (including Scotland, Catalonia and any others through the democratic application of the right to self-determination) with a global currency?
What language/system to use for a web page translator?
I need to write a small system that might be called a web page translator. It processes web requests by fetching pages from another site, scraping data from them, and reformatting the results in a more suitable form. What language or system should I use to implement it?

The system will be useful to me personally, and probably to a small community of other users. A hundred regular users would be a lot.

I could implement the system using any number of app engines, and I have experience with a number of languages: Java, C++, Python, Javascript, Go, and Haskell. Haskell and Yesod are appealing because I like the rigor of the language. But Haskell skills are rare, and I want to make it easy for other users to contribute to the project, which suggests I should use a more common language, like Python. Micro-frameworks like Flask are appealing in their simplicity, but might be a bit underpowered, which get me to Django.

So, thoughts?

>Except this isn't forcing good behavior, it is forcing being explicit. Go ahead and use `!` it will work like you are used to.

That's not correct. `!` will crash without recourse where ObjC simply ignores the message and Java raises a catchable NPE.
Quite true.

Keep in mind, the IRS can audit you out of what amounts to mere curiosity. Having your net worth go up by half a billion or whatever is the sort of thing that might raise some flags and cause someone to want to verify that you haven't realized any of those capital gains, gifted any of them to someone else off the record, or some other thing.

On the bright side, Satoshi Nakamoto should be able to afford a good tax attorney. He'd be a bit nutty not to have one already, honestly.
I speculate here that this could be a second reason why we lost our big ape hair. The preferred method of hunting was running after prey until it fell/slowed down - due to the fact that, unless other animals, man can run and hold the mouth open, thus eliminating the excess heat + higher oxygen flow. Having less hair than the prey made us run otherwise faster while on lower enery requirements.
Japan may not officially have nuclear weapons, but they do not lack the capability - if they decided to weaponize (which would never happen short of a Chinese existential threat), they could do so in a matters of days, not months - the nuclear knowhow is clearly there.

The rest of your point is fair - for Japan to go to war would take a fundamental shift in the country, and its questionable whether the Senkaku Islands would meet that level. China is an aggressive, scary power in a lot of ways, and we ought to be cognizant of the dangers it poses - and the Japanese (and the Vietnamese, and the Phillipinos) are.
So according to your logic, Microsoft in the 90s was not in the "unique position"? All your points about user engagements, keeping them around, intrinsic value, applied to Microsoft perfectly.

The fact is, Google occupies a unique position under the framework of browser + search engine. Their inability to expand meaningfully to other web segments (except gmail) proves:

1) they are idiots. (highly unlikely) OR

2) the theory of "user engagement" does NOT work in case of Google Inc. Therefore, mining of users' data serves purely for the business interest, it has no value added to users. And yes, Google Search's model is fundamentally different than ugc-centric services (e.g. fb).
Number 2 is easily solved by burying an instruction in the spec.

Example - ask them to prepend the subject with a keyword or some other information only calculable by reading the job description.
Curious. I mean WiFi still connects up to something, probably a line owned by Verizon, etc. WiFi is not 100% available everywhere, may not be secure (but then again, the cell connection isn't either...). Nonetheless, cell connection is often the only way to get Internet at all.

I guess the gripe might be not using cell networks makes it hard to charge for some cell services. I suppose WiFi will just cost more. WiFi may be "free" at the hotel I stay at, but the hotel is paying for it (and probably padding their rates accordingly).

IOW, strongly suspect the costs will "come out in the wash", we'll pay for it one way or the other. Besides, FWIW I know several people who use their cell connection to feed WiFi routers. Think about it, since more and more people are abandoning land-lines and "going all cell" where would their WiFi be connected to anyway?
if they did, there would have been 3 comments already labeling this a "puff piece." Still could be - who knows...
I'm going to say the scariest scenario in Asia involves either North Korea or Pakistan.
This looks great!

Just a suggestion, but I think you could boost the performance of simple JPEG transformations (crop, rotate by multiples of 90 degrees, transpose/transverse) by using the transformation facilities of libjpeg or libturbojpeg (which has a far nicer API). For scaling there is also epeg which works directly with the DCT coefficients.

I created a Python library that uses these APIs and it beats all ImageMagick-based solutions by an order of magnitude: https://github.com/jbaiter/jpegtran-cffi

Weak is a relative term, right? Vietnam is "weak". How about the other countries in the region? Japan? Russia?

I don't think it's called experimental when you flex your military muscle.
Obviously not - Spain in particular (but not exclusively - there are plenty of other counties in the EU who face similar issues) won't want a precedent which could apply to, say, Catalonia.

But that's a separate issue about Scotland joining full stop, rather than the terms on which they'd join. I suspect if Catalonia declared independence then the most sensible starting point for their EU membership is what covers them already (that is Spain's position). No-one really benefits from a position where unnecessary change and uncertainty is pushed onto newly formed countries.

I agree that the yes campaign's approach to difficult issues seems to be essentially "don't worry your pretty little heads about it, it'll all be fine, we've got the oil".

Short version: if it's a yes vote, it's going to be a big ol' mess for a while.

Ask HN: Fastest way to get recurring revenue with hosting?
I like startups and creating webapplications. But my main income (after working hours) is still selling websites / hosting or invoicing packages (=> customization of the invoice layout, configuring webapps, ...), which is like 85% of my income). The rest is mostly from hosting (webapps / websites)

I'm wondering, what do you sell to people (webapps, websites, cms), which contains hosting and is fairly easy to create a recurring revenue with?

And do you upsell? (eg. selling a website + email marketing application + affliate gmail for biz)
what is advantage of this over cookie etc.?
In a democracy, that public support really matters.

Indeed.

Since the end of World War II, there have been 248 armed conflicts in 153 locations around the world. The United States launched 201 overseas military operations between the end of World War II and 2001, and since then, others, including Afghanistan and Iraq.

It doesn't have to be signed by a witness. Have you got the employer's signature and your own? You're good to go. Submitting your claim online will cost you around ~£100 in the UK. You'll probably not even need to go all the way to the court and for small claims stuff you don't need to (but still can) hire a lawyer.
Very interested in this technology, would like to see some examples created with this technology, more than games. Are there any cpu/gpu heavy applications out there that compile from C++ to asm.js ?

Or any good examples of writing the whole webpage with C++ somehow? All the current examples I've seen utilize webgl canvas and handle the interaction there. How about interaction with a regular HTML interface ?
As far as I can tell they're currently opposing it somewhat indirectly but they absolutely don't want the precedent of a country separating and being allowed into Europe.

Neither of them are quite European heavyweights but ultimately , unless there is some sort of fudge (not impossible but unlikely), every existing EU nation will have to vote to accept an independent Scotland. For that to happen it would appear that something will have to be done to placate those with similar potential domestic issues themselves if it's too happen. Whether of not such a something realistically exists or not I don't know.
> I'd argue that the radioactive waste produced by a fission power plant is better for the environment

That's not what I was disputing. The half-life of radioactive material produced from nuclear power is what makes it's maintenance expensive.

Do you really think maintaining nuclear waste for 24,000 years is cheaper than the 25% added cost for carbon capture?
There is a proper 'web assembly' instruction set. It's Google
's Portable Native Client [1]. The problem with this solution is that Google is the only one supporting it. But there other players in the web. Creating such a standard making all of the vendors happy might be impossible.

ASM.js might not be the perfect solution, but it has the huge advantage of being compatible with all major browsers. Practicality beating purity is a common pattern in Web's history.

the claims on the South China sea are patently ridiculous, but I don't think it can be compared with the senkaku islands. From what I've read China actually did have better claim over those islands prior to 1884 and immediately after WWII, but didn't assert those claims because well.. the islands were worthless. Now that they've found oil they want to roll back the clock.

I think there is a fundamental cultural difference in the way the west and China views the dispute. To the west if you found a piece of land and lived there for 100 years, it's yours - that's how the US was founded after all. But to China it's just the latest in a series of conflicts with Japan going back hundreds of years.

I just found this from some of the comments above http://ampache.org/. I'm gonna install that and see how it is, but I really think I'm going to move forward with trying to integrate this with a seedbox type of server. Since the client is done in JS as well it could be practical to port that to Android and iPhone also.
Its entirely possible to leak addresses at layer 3, ICMP. Redirect and Type 3 unreachables intentionally encode additional IP headers inside the data segment. Additionally ICMP processing goes up to the control plane, not just a data/routing/forwarding plane. Its incredibly common to get back valid ICMP responses sources from RFC1918/3330 space on the internet. The router (or whatever) responds with the "private" management address as the source. I would not be surpised in the least to have a box leak "private" or unintential data via ICMP.

As a Brit (English, living in Scotland), I'd say that there is a way to go before that and would make two points:

1) there is only one party promising that referendum and they're behind in the polls

2) current polls say that we'd vote to stay (http://yougov.co.uk/news/2014/06/17/eu-referendum-record-lea...), even before any renegotiation. There are other polls which have said otherwise but YouGov provide an on-going tracker which I think shows that, while the level of support has changed, broadly we still support EU membership.

Obviously all very uncertain (and until a couple of weeks ago polls were sure Scotland would stay in the UK) but I'd say that you shouldn't confuse the volume of some of the negative views on Europe with them being a consensus - most people are quietly happy with the status quo.
The first few spins of AMD Athlons circa 1999/2000 were exceptional in this regard. Parts actually binned at 700mhz were downclocked and sold in 500mhz packages. I dont recall anything similar with Intel recently, maybe some if the core2 stuff.

Really-really? Would you believe bacteria are the predominant global biomass even though you seldom think of them?

The vast majority of all time consumed (or forcibly-wasted) by default-enabled JavaScript goes towards... What? Ads, tracking-mechanisms, and various nonfeatures to eke out minor visual effects. Even ignoring the cost to dispel unfavorable interruptions, the cumulative load/render delays constitute a user-experience death of thousand cuts.

Here's the things about "disputed" territorial claims, national rights, sovereignty and such: They are not real. There is no objective basis for resolving them. Borders, maritime boundaries the existence of such a thing as "Chinese," "Scottish" or "Kurdish" is only given substance by people believing it and acting as if it were real.

Every piece of land in the world has been competed for and disputed many times. Sometimes identities such as "Chinese," "Scottish" or "Kurdish" are created or hardened specifically to serve that dispute. Other times they are dissolved by the outcome of the dispute.

I'm not trying to make some grand claim that "It's all an illusion." China is disputing Japan's ownership of these islands. The ownership of these islands is in dispute. We can either have some sort of lawful (or otherwise peaceful) way of resolving these disputes or we can go back to the traditional method of war and intimidation.

Our international legal systems were put in place in politically difficult circumstances to prevent world wars. They have definitions of territorial claims and some shambles of a system for resolving them and (theoretically) enforcing them. But this system (being a shambles) get very little respect. They are ignored by major power, minor powers and sometimes by upstarts (ISIS declared the border between Iraq & Syria dissolved and implemented that declaration).

> Curious. I mean WiFi still connects up to something, probably a line owned by Verizon, etc.

yes, but wifi is unlicensed spectrum, whereas cellular (lte/hspa/cdma/...) is licensed, which translates to huge capital expenditures by operators, and hence i guess, the need to milk it (the correct term is 'monetize') for all it is worth. which i think, also might account for great eagerness on operator's part to move to virtualized world where equipment costs are further reduced.
