> your DNA is your identity

I believe he has some point. Humans generally have multiple (mostly highly-overlapping) [sub-]identities, one per clique. And we usually don't like mixing them too much. We're one person at work, but a bit different one at a close friends' party.

Our genetic data is a part of the picture but not a whole picture. That's somehow in a same manner your photo identifies you, but when you have a photo of random person on a street you're unlikely to easily figure out their name.

I have the LG Tone Ultra HBS-800 Bluetooth Stereo Headset - Pearl White

Love them. Charges in just over an hour, lasts all day. Connects over bluetooth to my iPhone for music or phone calls or to my laptop for Skype calls / music. Work great when landscaping or cleaning the house or working out. Really, I wear them all the time. Comes in black also.

I found that an interactive game, Velocity Raptor, gave a great intuition for relativity: http://www.testtubegames.com/velocityraptor.html

The premise is that you control a character moving at relativistic speeds. The first handful of levels are just to get used to the controls, and not very interesting. It is worth sticking with it for the later levels.
There is no way the watch will last 3-5 years. The original iPad lasted two years in terms of software updates, the original iPhone had one more year. But most importantly, the watch is about fashion, and as soon as v2 or v3 is only half as big as v1, everyone carrying a v1 will look like a clumsy nerd from the past.

I think the v1 will only look fashionable for at most two years.

I remember the first time I tried it—and being impressed—but then wondering how the fuck they did it. Then being less impressed when I realized that it doesn’t work after clearing your Flash cookies (or if you have Flash turned off).

Hi !

I'm involved in both projects. Here' s some insight :

OPM and POWA are not related. They were born at different times and developed by two different R&D teams at DALIBO, a French PostgreSQL company. The fact that they've been released publicly almost at the same time is merely a coincidence

OPM is designed to help a DBA to manage a very large number of servers. It provides answers to the questions : "Is there a problem somewhere on my PostgreSQL servers ? Which instances need to improvements ?"

POWA is more focused showing the "real-time" activity of one specific instance. It provides answers to questions like : "Which queries are slowing down my server right now ?"

If you're familiar with Oracle products, the difference between OPM and POWA is more-or-less the difference between Oracle AWR and Oracle Grid Control.

In a nutshell, if you only have one or two PostgreSQL servers in production, then POWA is easier to install and probably enough for you. If you want more stats and an overview of your servers, then OPM is a better choice.

Both projects are autonomous and moving fast. We're just pushing code on github without direct economic goals or marketing plans :-) In the long run we'll see which one finds its user base and how they evolve.

That being said, we also have other guys working on other similar PostgreSQL tools, in particular :

pgBadger ( http://dalibo.github.io/pgbadger/ ) is a log analyzer which provides rich reports of the database activity. Basically it answers to the question "Which queries should be optimized ?"

pgCluu ( http://pgcluu.darold.net/ ) is a audit/reporting tools, more focused on system and resource utilization. It answers to questions such as "What's the load on my CPUs ? Is my memory swapping ?"

pg_activity ( https://github.com/julmon/pg_activity/ ): is like linux "top" command but for PostgreSQL queries.

pg_stat_kcache ( https://github.com/dalibo/pg_stat_kcache ) will gather statistics about reads done by the filesystem layer

So basically regarding PostgreSQL monitoring, we're just moving in every possible directions at the same time... Some say it's a "waste of time", we prefer the term "Darwinian Approach" :P
If you search for the character '+' in the list of e-mails you can get an idea where the mails leaked from. It seems to me like this is a collection of databases scraped from different sources as others have suggested.

For Gmail users, it's a good practice to register to websites using username+websitename@gmail.com (e.g. mark.samman+hackernews@gmail.com), that way you'll know who leaked your data when it appears in lists like this or when you get spam. Gmail ignores the plus character and anything that follows the plus. You can also add dots at arbitrary positions in the username part.

Are you saying you don't wish you had 5 arms? You must be a fool.

But the answer to your question is, I was gifted 4 of them once people saw that I wear a watch. Watches work like that.
>- it breaks more easily and wears out quicker than a card

I don't know about you, but personally I use my phone far more all of my credit cards combined on a daily basis. Is pulling out my phone to process a transaction going to add additional ware to it? Probably not. It's most likely out already from me using it while waiting in line.
I am pretty sure that many contracts will throw in a watch for a few $/month.
There's two obvious monetization strategies that I can think of.

The first one they're already doing: that's a commercial server hosting service (Minecraft Realms).

The other one is bringing mods to the console versions as paid DLC. Mods are popular on PC (but miserable to install and maintain) but I don't know if there are any modding options for the console versions. At least the Android Pocket Edition doesn't seem to have any modding options.

Well, there's a third strategy but I don't think they'll go that way. Pay real money for getting some in-game goods or consumables. I don't think this would work very well, because it seems like people really like grinding for hours in search of the elusive diamond blocks. I certainly do :)
I use VirtualBox on Windows with a shared folder, and when the virtualbox package breaks for whatever reason, the OS decides that's a good enough reason to fail startup and go into emergency debug mode.

I also notice it with the systemctl command line tool, which is actually really pleasant to use.

I'm not sure what would happen if this happened with other init packages.

You're paying largely for the brand with a pair of solo2 - they're fairly low-mid range headphones wrapped in an expensive package. Widely considered a waste of money among audiophiles.

Obligatory mention, the QNX demo disk (1.44M floppy image with full gui):

http://toastytech.com/guis/qnxdemo.html

While the floppy is justifiably dead, it is a little strange to see basic installs taking up so much space these days. Thankfully the core-os type projects (os for densly populated vm servers) are helping a bit -- even if deduplication/running root from /nfs etc -- is probably a more expedient (and permanent) way to reduce footprint per vm (1 Gig divided by 1024 vms is just 1Mb per vm after all...).
Unfortunately it is only a passive tag for pairing. You can't to do anything else with it, so it cannot read other tags itself.

That is because a photo can not be linked to your family relationships as a DNA strand can.

So photos and DNA have very different properties when it comes to identity, and barring some stupendously unlikely coincidence (or an identical twin or clone) your DNA is much more unique than your photo will ever be (witness the number of celebrity doubles).
I think it is because it was a Japanese CEO and in my experience Japanese people really like to throw rock paper scissor for all sorts of things.

It's best you go to a more suitable audiophile specific forum for advice. You'll just get a mixed bag of suggestions of "suggesting what I own" responses. This is from the forum I personally use for headphone suggestions. Also, get closed headphones that isolate sound well if it's for a office environment.

http://headphones.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6206

The only advice I can give you is try many headphones in person with music your familiar with and like. Shops like to play just the right music that compliments them specific phones. I settled on Brainwavz after testing Sennheiser, Grado, Beats, Audio Technica, Beyer, Koss and Shure.

Number 2 and number 4 - this is what a "smart" watch should aim for. Being able to detect an early heart attack or low/high insulin levels and send out warning SOS's to hospitals is a great idea. The amount of costs this would save, the lives this would save...but sending smiley face to someone is innovation.

It amazes me how companies that have so much resources at their disposal cannot conduct research in these kind of domains.

There were always alternatives and sub cultures. In previous centuries these existed mainly in other countries. Today the impression is that a) the sub cultures have disappeared, b) the other countries cultures have merged into one. You question "As opposed to when" is a good one - we compare everything with now - and we can say that now things appear to be larger in scale. Yes, for those within the culture, culture is monolithic to them - to look at Culture from outside you can see it's bigger and more encompassing. I think that's what the quote was about.

In the article, the idea most interesting to me was about how traditional "high" culture (books, plays, opera) are still considered elitist when it's the mass culture of celebrities which comprise the elites. It was a passing idea and I'd like to hear more about that.

ARMs business model might allow them to weather the initial storm while advancing their core architecture; their 2013 balance sheet was good, with low liabilities and high earnings. Not even Intel can keep buying market share indefinitely.

Not for you and me, I guess, but most women have a large, crowded bag instead of pockets. Which also explains how anyone could ever carry a Note around.

How did this suddenly get redefined to "when released"? If that is the case, Taco's widely criticized assessment was dead on - the iPod was initially a failure.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Total_ipod_sales.svg

We know that it took off, but that was wholly on the back of iTunes - 0.99 tracks and much easier use than competitors sold the iPod, not some fundamental excellence of the device.

People forget now but while we revile iTunes generally now, at the time it was the killer feature of the iPod, and the initial iPhone success.

The one bit I can't find anywhere in the docs released so far. Is there a communication mechanism between the microcontroller and the main core?

It's not hard to dangle a micro off of i2c or some other bus, however, I can definitely see the the benefit of an easy prototyping solution combining an beefy (~100k RAM and 100Mhz CPU) real-time micro and a general purpose OS with wifi / bluetooth LE.
It kinda refutes some stereotypes about men. The graphs show that men find younger women more attractive. But most men end up dating/marrying women around the same age (I'd guess a few years younger on average). This suggests that attractiveness isn't that important (or at least there are other things that are more important) to men when choosing a mate.

Very few bought the iPod in the first two years, and it was a commercial failure. It was iTunes on Windows that brought it mainstream.
ARC would be perfectly happy with small amounts of memory. ZFS ' ARC implementation will free memory as required by the system (provided that the Linux kernel asks) and grow when memory is not in use up to zfs_arc_max. The limit is completely configurable and can be set to something small like 64MB.

> There a many things wrong with what you wrote; the most glaring is: "haven't seen anything innovative from Google since 2001".
Later you go on to say, "unless you count gmail".
1. gmail wasn't released until 2004
2. the whole thing called "ads" wasn't available until 2001.
3. Android copied iOS. Which copied Windows. Which copied MacOS. Which copied GEM. Which copied x/PARC. Someone once said "good artists copy, great artists steal".
4. I guess you keep missing the news about Google's moonshot project (loom, wing, self-driving cars).

Ironically you kind of reinforced his point... Ads was in 2001 - that's his claim of most recent innovation from Google unless you count gmail.

You point out gmail was released in 2004, but he's just said he's not counting gmail.

iOS didn't copy windows at all - it was innovative in that it was by far the best mobile operating system UI. Windows didn't have a mobile operating system at the time

> What casual runner goes running without their phone?

Judging by the answers you got, ones who have oversized phones and think that shaving a little weight is worth not being able to call emergencies (who cares, they can use a strangers phone if that happens, just like the guys who cycle and skip tools, patches and pumps and then end up asking people passing them by, and anyway emergencies happen to other people).

OTOH, I don't know why anyone would ever wear a watch after 1993.

That piece seems a bit ... unbalanced.

It starts off with confirming that systemd is indeed the very baddest bad thing there is. And then later on mentions that "but, yeah, I don't actually have any troubles with it" at the very end.

I'm sure there are people who have their reasons for avoiding systemd, and for them a list like this is probably great.

But for those still on the fence, this reeks of scare-tactics.

Let's make on thing clear: Systemd does provide a sufficient amount benefits and I can say that without any particular source of my own.

Why? Because pretty much all the distros out there are moving towards systemd and you would be out of your mind to think they are putting in this effort to migrate to systemd if they hadn't done a technical consideration and decided it was a worthwhile thing doing.
