i respect that someone is trying to market a prepackaged solution but i would advise against shortcuts. you (the developer/owner/cto) should take the time to understand your stack from bere metal up, and be able to explain the risks that are real vs academic, the financial impact of attacks or internal employee mistakes/theft, and the real cost and benefits of devops done right.

you owe it to your customers, your shareholders, your employees and yourself to invest the mental energy to really understand the nuances.

otherwise, dont go into health care markets.

(i like to think we take our work as seriously as the best MDs, so would you want your surgeoun taking shortcuts or trying to build a MVP?)
Probably yes. Have you seen screen cast o matic .com? They allow video recording without installing any plugin just visiting their website. So if that can be done then yes Screen sharing too.

Sorry I exactly dont know how do they do it. Please try out. They use some kind of Java plugin (not alone Java Script).
I get that, but if I sign a contract to buy a car and somewhere in the fine print is says that I owe an extra $117,000 that I am not aware of, that is not a valid contract.
I mean, there are other substantial factors that make this not an ideal free market:

- The time to set up certain kinds of facilities, eg, good physics labs or mechanical engineering labs, can be on the order of several years to a decade.

- There is a limited ability to scale up, as it relies on its own out put to keep functional (eg, professors and TAs).

- Non-responsive hiring managers whose cultural sense was normalized before many of these changes impacted colleges (eg, >20 years ago) haven't adjusted their hiring practices, and place an artificially high reward on college degrees.
Can someone give me some context on what the hell is itslearning.com

Upstart is much better than SysV initscripts, but introduces some other problems. Systemd has a better design.

The main problem with SysV is that every script needs to do everything: It is, after all, just a hook for the OS to call on startup (as well as a useful, but not necessarily mandatory, way for users to interact with the service).

So every script needs startup config (Debian: /etc/default), PID file management (start-stop-daemon), daemonizing (ditto), startup log management (ie., tracking what happens until the program can start logging on its own), limits (ulimit is per session, so every script has to do this to avoid inheriting root's limits).

Plus, you don't get: Dependency management; automatic respawning on failure; CPU and memory resource alotment; ability to list and inspect declared services vs. everything else that's running; handling of orphaned forked child children; etc.

Systemd has been accused of being monolithic, but it seems highly modular to me, and more so than Upstart.
I recomend this paper to everybody, its fantastic. I really wish that prossesor people and operating systes would pay more attention to the trend towards managed languages.

We should get benefits of these kinds of collectors on every operating system. I really hope that in the future we can get there.

Short answer: Yes. It will have to earn a valuation by similar means because the rest of the China internet economy will converge on a global model (Which might be a little different from a US model, but probably fairly close).

The funny thing is, this example isn't even true. Knowing that all Secret Service Special Agents are US government employees does not allow you to logically conclude that some US government employees are Secret Service Special Agents -- you also need to know that at least one Secret Service Special Agent exists!

For example, it is true that all humans living on Mars are US government employees -- but not at all true that some US government employees are living on Mars.
Having one name to run tens of binaries under doesn't mean monolithic? Or is GNU monolithic? or "*nix"?
I guess using a linear output stage instead of a PWM would help avoid detection. Or use a plane instead of a quadcopter, to limit the noise.

I don't think "defining" captures what we can do about these things. "Meandering around" is more like it. But here are a couple observations.

A semi-objective thing about most of the uninteresting, non-HN-appropriate stories is how predictable they are, i.e. how repetitive of previous instances of the type. The more predictable a story is, the less information it adds and the less interesting it is.

There's a reason we say "intellectually interesting" to describe the stories HN wants. There are different kinds of interesting. For example, we all have an interest in the things we're personally invested in or identify with, but that is not intellectual interest.

Similarly, as humans we're highly interested in what other humans are up to, but that—think gossip and celebrity news—is not intellectual interest either. So a story can be interesting without being a good fit for HN, quite apart from not all having intellectual interests in common.

Maybe this explains why upvotes alone don't work for a site like HN. We upvote the things that excite our interest. It's too much work to pause and ask ourselves what kind of interest we're experiencing. And the non-intellectual kinds have an advantage—they require less attention to get excited. (For one thing, they rely on recognition, while intellectual interest relies on curiosity, which is an absence of recognition.) This is compounded on the internet, where attention is fleeting and fragmentary.

> Giving Joe Public access to the private key necessary for interpreting the query result allows attackers to inspect all of the intermediate states of the query finite state machine, which allows debugging and inspection just as if homomorphic encryption wasn't in use.

This doesn't apply to TPB, but one could give each user of, say, an email webapp the private key to his/her own data while still facilitating server-side search.

> I suppose the routing proxy could hold the private key and decrypt the query result for the general public. However, the location of the routing proxy is almost certainly going to be compromised before the locations of the servers executing the queries.

This wouldn't be completely useless since it lets you offload much of the storage and computation onto commodity cloud providers without revealing what's on the machines, even if they're scanning your RAM. From the article it seems like TPB is getting some kind of utility out of such a scheme: "All virtual machines are hosted with commercial cloud hosting providers, who have no clue that The Pirate Bay is among their customers. All traffic goes through the load balancer, which masks what the other VMs are doing."

> There's also the problem that the messages being decrypted are the final states of finite state machines that executed the queries, so the messages to be copied over the network add up in size to at least the size of the dataset being queried.

In a homomorphic encryption scheme that supported querying, only the encrypted results would need to be relayed back from each search shard, no?
Thanks. I realize startup systems are a controversial, but they hardly warrant this. My only interest in them is "which one is best to teach students in a beginning Linux admin course"?

I have been using Parse for a couple of years now. Some of my clients are currently on it and is being used in production. The most compelling part of the offering is a well thought out SDK which helps in time to market by reducing the development time. Parse has a lot of potential but unfortunately they will need improve in some areas pretty soon. The first issue is documentation, it is bad. What makes it worse is not being able to build a large enough developer community around the product. If Parse would only listen to the developers using their platform, take constructive feedback and improve their offering it will go long way. The response from Parse when things are bought to attention is much to be desired. Part of the problem is Parse needs to solve is to partner with companies/developers to help out their customers with the common issues that people face when using their platform and concentrate on the real issues of the platform. This should also help them with their support as well, which is bad even for paying customers. I really think Parse can learn from companies before them like Microsoft, Salesforce, Apple on how to go about building a strong developer community around a platform. I also think Parse can help a wider range of customers, like make a serious play in the enterprise market if these issues are looked into.
Everytime I think about deep learning, I am in awe of how important mechanical turk is.

A "turker" essentially a "probabilistic", "general purpose" classifier.

Yeah, but by not being the same thing, in the end the result is the same. Multiple code paths, or backends to handle the differences.

Agreed.

I do boring IT stuff. But once upon a time I had some opportunities in gaming (long long time ago), which I blew up for being more focused on the OSS aspects of the tooling than what really mattered, having a game.

I really learned the hard way, how the different the game development culture is from the FOSS one. Which I should have known given the similarities with the demoscene.

Even though I am not in the industry, I do follow it regularly.
I've kept thinking about this because I feel like I'm being overly critical of your idea - but I equally don't think skepticism toward the claims of startup founders is particularly unhealthy.

I suspect it's a case of messaging - and as you said trust. If I were looking at a startup of yours, knowing you were OP here, and saw those pledges I feel like I'd take them seriously. If I saw them on a typical landing page I'd probably dismiss them. That said I guess a founder who can hope to follow through on these should probably be able to control their messaging and convince me.

On another note though I'm not convinced it'd really affect future ventures - I don't think that outside the SV/HN bubble people really know or care who founders of startups/companies are. I suspect if you took a typical Series A startup most of its users would probably have as much chance of knowing its investors as its founders.

That definitely doesn't make it pointless though - I think it was a mistake for me to call it that. It's a case of messaging and trust and I suspect most startups would fail the litmus test of convincing me they mean anything.
Hey app helps you say 'Hey' to people nearby and chat
There is a lot of supply, and a surfeit of postgraduate degrees in many fields where associate professor is a great job means the quality isn't bad.

An increase in supply would have to come from some innovation that enables really ramping up supply and competing against high quality traditional college education.

Don't look for demand to get slack, either. Lots of foreign demand at every level is out there and it isn't going to stop growing soon.
Follow the fun dude, easy.
I think there are interesting aspects of this that apply to interactions between different social groups and different ethnic groups. Even if there are broad similarities in the attractor points that different groups converge to, they're not identical. Acting as a person according to one set of conventions may constitute insult according to another, and a downward spiral of decreased expectations--similar to that described of people with mental health diagnoses--can result.
So you're saying that, effectively, anything that Joe Public can request an adversary can request, so that by giving Joe Public access to the database you'd be giving an adversary the same access?
Umm, we're also not seeing actions consistent with "The marginal cost of switch from college A to college B is to expensive for what it gives me, so I am going to stick with college A".

That marginal cost is often 'hidden' by student loans, and if I recall correctly, USA analysis shows that students making that decisions is even rarer than the decision "I believe that I can't afford college, so I won't even check how much it would cost for me" (which was a quite popular attitude for minority students).
Would love to know this too. I have always thought it might have to do with being able to communicate with the medical staff to get a better assessment.
> Also a good basis to delve further into relationships with non-persons of the state or corporations.

At some level, personhood becomes interchangable with the concept of "brand", with the latter being an invention to piggyback on the interface of the former. President Obama is a person, Kellogg's is a corporation, and the USDA is a government institution, yet each is also a brand, carefully managed by a public relations team to mimic certain characteristics of personhood.
OT, but it's heartening to see a link to an RSS feed next to Twitter and G+. I find that more and more sites are abandoning this public, open source standard in favor of proprietary platforms.
Personhood, as the author describes it, is just the barebone game society plays, and all other networks (school, work, friendship, relationship, etc) supersede it. So, uniforms in school can certainly provide the benefits of personhood.
Not that it forces them to present themselves as something they aren't, but that it is "a signal that the wearer is enacting a role in which his agency is outsourced and his individuality is suppressed". That is, when a soldier wears a uniform, they are signalling that they are not the ones making decisions about their own actions, but rather the organization they represent is making those decisions.

School uniforms don't indicate nearly the same level of subordination to a command structure.
Tell HN: Save your two-factor authentication backup codes
If you use two-factor authentication, make sure you don't ignore those backup codes they tell you to save or print out. I recently was mugged (so my both my phone and laptop were taken in addition to my wallet), and I really wish I had saved my Google backup codes into Dropbox (or actually printed them out). As our identities and lives become more entrenched in the online realm, it becomes increasingly important to take the extra (even if seemingly inconvenient) precautionary steps. Life can throw all kinds of random events you'd never expect to happen to you, so as the old adage goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.

P.S. If anyone knows anyone at Google who can help me recover my account quicker, that would be sweet.
Will smartwatches with heart rate/other health sensors be able to detect strokes right when they happen? Or maybe even slightly before they do?
I'm one of those people who find most systemd opposition rather unconvincing, but good luck to you anyway.

I was surprised by the fact that you'd actually removed the mount and device unit logic from your fork. In my view, the init/service manager (with its dependency resolver) is the correct place for something like that because services depend on devices and mounted filesystems being available. How should those things be handled, if not there? Udev-triggered units and systemd generators seem to me a very clean way of handling the problem while maintaining backwards compatibility with /etc/fstab and other configuration sources.

I haven't felt any improvement in productivity at higher KLOC counts with statically typed languages in my coding. I've also worked at several large companies and have watched teams using both types of languages, and I have not seen more productivity from those using statically typed languages.

More importantly, there is no conclusive empirical evidence either way.
Great article.

I had a stroke one night in my 20's. When I woke up, my right side was numb (I thought I just slept on my arm), I spoke gibberish and was unable to write but I felt fine and I thought I spoke perfectly fine.
I finally figured out that something was not right when I tried to write a message to my mom on the back of an envelope to tell her that I was fine and I just drew a straight line instead of letters.
That's when she called an ambulance.

Luckily I was back to normal within a month, but I struggled for some time to to find the right words when talking.
Thrombolysis works only for ischemic strokes. The much worse hemorrhagic stroke doesn't even have that window. Fortunately, it is somehow rarer.
It seems more than one HN user finds it amusing that this guide covers "rudimentary" things like predicate logic and word problems. Keep in mind that these are the skills the Secret Service wants their applicants to actively get better at before applying; it just so happens that already having these skills are common in the HN community.

I'm sure the community of Secret Service applicants finds the skills they are good at for which the HN community needs to actively get better at equally amusing. Social aptitude and physical fitness for example...

Maybe I'm getting old but my preference is to not cast stones at communities that are different than mine.
OpenGL 4.5 addresses some of concurrency bottlenecks. My point was not to say that OpenGL is perfect as is. But to say that any potential successor can't claim that OpenGL is bad because it aims to be cross platform, therefore better alternatives all need to be platform specific. That's a false logic. Cross platform API can be made better.

This is not how the game industry works.

There are studios specialized in porting games for specific platforms.

Usually a studio focus on one specific platform and outsources the remaining platforms to such porting studios.

This is a common practice since the early days.

In Lisp it is relatively easy to change a function. A typical thing is 'advising', where some code is added to a function. This had been done to ordinary functions decades ago and Common Lisp added it as a standard to its object system.

> Modifying code is a step up. For example, in lisp, it is fairly easy to grab a function, walk its tree for use of integers, and replace every '3' by '4' and every usage of the '+' function by '-'

Actually it is not easy. Actually walking Lisp code is relatively complex. The code walker needs to understand built-in Lisp constructs, macros and more.
That does seem like it makes more sense. I was just trying to make it short. I don't know if I can change it now though.
Continuing this thought, the uniform is a marker distinguishing those in uniform from those not in uniform. People working in uniform for [insert generic company here] retain their personhood with respect to each other, but not to the public at large. (See http://www.viruscomix.com/page471.html)

School uniforms don't really deal with this dynamic because they're only relevant for interactions internal to the school rather than interactions between the school and the outside world.
I've found it's the propellers themselves that cause the noise, not the PWM junk on the motors.
