It's just that writing a good web framework is actually way more complex than just a router.Martini,Revel or Gorilla are not webframeworks.

I believe Go is too rigid to allow something like Rails or Django. Go is for people who want C like performances with memory safety and easy concurrency. Go is not a "typesafe" python, at least it doesnt work like one until now. But I wouldnt be surprised someone comes up with a language built on top of Go that looks like a "typesafe" python or a Go++. That's what happens when people dont get their "nice things".
I'm not sure you can expand the theorem to deal with that issue. Arrow's theorem essentially says even if you as an individual or society as a whole had perfect news sources, there is no voting method (edit: no ordinal voting method), or method of choice (other than dictatorship, which is bad for obvious reasons), which can accurately register preferences. All voting systems fail at some point, though some are better than others.

To be cynical, in the context of voting, consume news however you want to because to some extent it doesn't matter.
Did he not know he was going to work in the Netherlands?

I'm open to the idea that the European countries are overtaxing its citizens, but if someone moves there, I say they're getting exactly what was advertised.
An Alternative typedef Syntax using the C++ Preprocessor
I think that ship has sailed. "Drone" is a single, simple word that the public is using to describe flying robots. Trying to convince everyone to not use it will be a Sisyphean task.

I'd still like "hacker" back, but that ain't gonna happen.
When I saw 1 trillion guesses per second I immediately wondered what algorithm was being referenced. My single GTX 780 hash performance varies wildly by algorithm. A few numbers:

NTLM - 1.2 billion/sec
MD5(Wordpress)- 600 million/sec
bcrypt - 1,000/sec

1 trillion hashes/sec on a key stretching algorithm like bcrypt would be pretty horrific and might require quantum computing, while the same performance on MD5 might be achieved with <50k in hardware (very rough estimates).

I've heard rumors of storage technology that can store thousands of petabytes in a home appliance form factor. With that can kind of storage it would make sense to just start making salted rainbow tables. Even without fabled hardware, the Bluffdale NSA facility might have the capacity for it. I haven't even done napkin-based calculations yet to see if this is possible, so if anyone has some idea please speak up :-)

Unrelated transgender protocol question... When referring to events in the past, do you use the gender the party identifies as now, or the gender they (at least publicly) identified as at the point in time the events occurred? I suspect that might vary from person to person, but in most cases, I expect they would prefer the former...
Show HN :Deploy and manage docker images on any IaaS/On-Premise
Yeah, this is what I was thinking. Though I do have backups of my photos/music, in a worse case scenario in which all my drives were lost/stolen/eaten simultaneously I would lose everything. (This would be unlikely, because one is stored in a safety deposit box.) But a service like this would allow for one extra layer of redundancy with minimal downsides.

Create a giant tar.gz file, encrypt it, and store the encrypted file.
Even if cost ever became a problem, at some point the value of the information they're able to unveil would pay for itself. Think of the raw value of having advanced knowledge of confidential business and political dealings. What could that be worth?
I too thought of Intersnaption.
NOPE.

It just means that those "apparently quite reasonable assumptions" weren't reasonable after all and must be relaxed a bit according to a precise definition.

You just took a mathematical theorem and went into a completely unrelated tangent. It's as if someone says there's no point in keeping development schedule because temporal order is relative to the observer.

Please don't do that.

French Economist Wins Nobel for Work on Regulating Powerful Businesses
I think maybe I should've been more clear. I was referring to Snapchat's horrible security policies in that comment, it was not a criticism of your code.
That opinion piece says the impacts affecting the park are more nuanced and complicated than the popular narrative of the reintroduction of wolves would lead one to believe, it doesn't say it's entirely wrong.
> Arrow's theorem says there are no such procedures whatsoever—none, anyway, that satisfy certain apparently quite reasonable assumptions concerning the autonomy of the people and the rationality of their preferences

The article alludes to one very important corollary, though IMHO it doesn't explain it very well: Arrow's theroem is like the CAP theorem - it seems to be a much stronger restriction than it is. In other words, if you're willing to make just a few very straightforward assumptions (ie, compromises), you can create a system that appears to "satisfy... rationality of their preferences".

Nobel laureate Amartya Sen[0] has demonstrated that if you assume that there are certain rankings of preferences that are rare enough to be ignored altogether, then instant-runoff voting[1] will in fact satisfy all the constraints of the Impossibility Theorem[2].

Let's use the 2000 US Presidential election as an example. There were three main candidates in Florida (Bush, Gore, Nader), for a total of 6 rankings. While Nader played a spoiler role, Nader and Gore shared more of a platform than Nader and Bush did. So it is very reasonable to assume that there are few people who would have voted for Nader over Bush, but Bush over Gore. This reasoning allows us to eliminate a number of those 6 rankings - and more importantly, enough rankings that the criteria of the Impossibility Theorem are likely to hold.

[2] The article does mention Sen, and alludes to this finding, but I don't think it explains it very clearly.
The way to learn to think is to be a curious, introspective and observant person. Then, retreat to a cabin in the woods for a couple of years reading plenty of classic literature, philosophy, modern non-fiction, etc etc.

I've done the same thing in a few prototype-style apps I've built too. Not only do you not need to store passwords, but you can just ignore a whole area of UX.

Enter email to signup -> link gets emailed.

I use JWT for this and it really makes it easy to get started on the part of the project that matters... and sometimes (not always) I think it's probably going to be fine to leave it this way.
Don't worry about it. I made a system call using process.call() and thought maybe that's what you were referring to.
A lot of pension funds in Europe are trying to convert people to market rate products, where the size of the future payouts are entirely dependent on the market. Most usually claim it is because they can give the retirees more, when the funds doesn't have to be so conservative with investments. In some cases, though, it is also similar to what's seen in the US - there might not be enough money in the coffer to honor the guaranteed interests.
It absolutely does make sense for servers. One frequent pain point with virtualized systems is that (at least in a VMware vCenter DRS-enabled cluster), you never know what physical host a specific VM will be on at any moment. This is a problem for software that requires a USB license dongle (many FlexLM-managed software have this requirement).

Anyway, in this situation, you would have one physical, bare-metal linux "usb dongle server", which then shares out its USB devices to one or more other linux VMs. After doing this, VMs can migrate between physical hosts without losing access to their license dongle.

There are purpose-built physical USB->IP devices out out there now, but they're quite expensive. This new functionality would allow admins to emulate this functionality for a fraction of the cost of a purpose-built device.
He should also have paid a very low tax rate - a 30% discount on taxable income, which results in a rate closer to 20% than the 50% I pay.

If you are interested in how much people have valued a human life, in money units, throughout history, I can give you at least one recommendation.

Medieval Iceland lived for 300 years without a government. Murder was punished by fine or exile, or becoming a slave or worse, an outlaw, if they refused to pay their debt to the victim's kin. This period is very well documented. Maybe you could find the exact value murderers were fined. That would give us a data point for 1000 years ago.
Why not ASICs, they used to have their own fab.

Rumors:

* Intel prints chips for them.

* Sun Microsystems put special instruction into their CPUs to aid in faster decryption efforts.

If I was designing such a system I'd stick a bunch of GOST, AES, SHA256, Blowfish ... brute forcing cores embedded in a small reconfigurable mesh. It would make a very effective multipurpose brute forcing device.

Antminer S2-b4 can do 2 trillion hashes a second and costs 1200 USD[0]. Imagine you are the NSA with tens of billions of dollars to spend on rigs, access to major fabs and you've been attacking crypto for the last 60 years.

You can see something similar in economies too.

Amazon introducing AWS has radically changed Silicon Valley.

Other IaaS services and PaaS services also entered the market.

The huge variety of different SaaS businesses around now is probably directly related to the ease of leasing/running cloud servers.

Because start-ups need so little capital to get started these days, those start-ups engage with VCs and Angels not at the powerpoint stage of their business, but perhaps after the launch of their MVP ... or even after they have a solid running business.

That has changed the nature of the relationship between start-ups and investors, and the kinds of services the investors are expected to provide.

It has also made large-scale incubators like YC possible.
Well, Netherlands has a better minimum wage compared to the US even after adjusting for PPP. [1]

Private insurance companies are regulated by the government and MUST offer a core universal package including the cost of all prescription medicines. They must do this at a fixed price for all. [2]

Taking into account these two facts, the article makes sense and provides good reasons why the system works. Looks like progressive policies with healthy government regulation always works better than the free market.

This is how Evernote CEO Phil Libin makes decisions
One of my latest obsession is to understand how people make decisions. I read a lot, took classes and discovered many surprising things about this process. But the most important one, was to understand that there are 2 parts of the brain involved in it, one called Amygdala - the lizard brain focusing on negativity and fear, and other one called Cortex, focusing on the positive outcome.

Thinking on how to apply this kind of knowledge in business, I found this article about how the CEO and the founder of Evernote make decisions. A great example on how we can learn from other people mistakes and sometimes saving a lot of effort and a lot of money. In this case, the fear blocked him to invest in Uber few years ago, in a very early stage, and now Uber it’s a billion $ company.

Now he only decide based on the positive outcomes, and I totally agree, as a startup almost everything can go wrong, so you can’t take into consideration the negative ones, because if you do, probably the fear will block you right away.

Most MBA programs only accept students with several years of work experience. There are always a few straight from undergrad, but the vast majority aren't. Typically , fresh MBA grads that are 'consulting' are just juniors on the projects. They are basically just excel monkeys for a few years until they gain more specific experience.

Three Takeaways for Long-Term Loyalty
> The FAA controls all airspace in the US. It's not true that they don't control airspace below 400ft. However, FAA has published guidance for operation of radio-controlled vehicles that includes altitude restrictions.

I didn't say the FAA don't control airspace below n feet. I appreciate my wording was rather vague, but by "involved" I meant that model plane pilots don't require prior permission to fly in the aforementioned airspace (presumably bar some caveats such as whether you're sat next to an airport).

Above a certain altitude and you need that area submitted and signed off as a flying club / whatever. Below that altitude and you can basically just fly your models on an adhoc basis.

Again, I accept I could be completely wrong on this so appreciate your input :)

Potentially of interest to your friend, depending on their country of citizenship or primary residence over their working career: it is possible that there exists a totalization agreement between that country and the Netherlands which will count his years in the Netherlands system for the purpose of his public pension.

What a puff piece.

I am the proud owner of both a Dutch pension and an American 401k. I much prefer the American 401k. If only because I don't have to pay 15% front loaded commissions everytime money gets put into a fund. I had to claw and fight with my Dutch pension company to even understand how much of my contribution they were taking on their front loaded mutual funds. And the sad part was that most of my Dutch colleagues didn't even understand why I was so upset about it.

Another thing that sucks about the Dutch pension system is that once I hit 65 I'm forced to buy an annuity with it. Most likely my pension company will trick most people into buying an annuity directly from them, but I do have the option of shopping around. Work for multiple companies, get multiple pensions and multiple annuities. There are options for rolling over one pension into another. But nothing as straight forward as a TIRA, and nothing where you can choose what funds are actually held.

I was told by an independent Dutch pension expert that my Dutch pension is standard, so my case isn't an outlier.

The Internet Court Is Now in Session
Impraise (YC S14) is hiring a Senior iOS developer. Great perks available
Yea, I and a couple friends interviewed for S13 (maybe it was S12), and while preparing is definitely helpful there is no way you can have scripted answers to everything. That assumes you know what they are going to ask (and chances are if you know what they are going to ask, you didn't make something clear). We did a couple practice interviews with YC alums and the questions they asked ended up being quite different from what was actually asked in the room. To me at least, the interview seemed much more like a discussion about our idea and its merits and issues than what people may normally think an interview to be (of a VC asking you intense questions and pulling apart every single hole in your financial model).

On the other hand, maybe they saw three college freshman and decided to go easy on us.

The number #1 thing that i want: treat me like an adult. This means i will not follow any stupid workspace policies. Example:

- If i get a phone call that i consider important, i will answer it.

- If i am feeling sick, i will stay at home, don't ask me to provide a doctors note.

- If i come in late, i will stay longer, just don't write me some BS e-mail.

- Don't install a website filter or something similar.

- I will take my off-days when i desire, i don't know 6 months upfront when i need a day off.

... the list continues.

Somewhat minimum as far as the physical workspace and tools: a desk, a decent chair, a 24" screen, a custom-built PC and my operating system of choice with full control. I don't mind working in a open/shared space as long as it doesn't get too loud. A big bonus would be providing free snacks, drinks and meals - it is a cheap and easy thing to do and benefits everyone.

I had a subscription in the beginning and cancelled it. I was expecting something along the lines of a high-tech New Yorker, but The Magazine never met my expectations.

There was also a level of pretense and hipsterism in The Magazine that was really off-putting (it starts with the name even!). Of course, the New Yorker is even more guilty (cf. diacritics and refusal to acknowledge the existence of "flyover country"), but in the case of the New Yorker, the quality of the long-form reporting is phenomenal. I guess you could say I came for the reporting, and stayed for the rest. With The Magazine, there was an article every other issue or so that was of great interest, and the rest were "meh".

When I look at the list of authors for The Magazine, I see many forming a loose-knit group of friends and associates. I think that kind of sums it up for me: it was a product written for each other, not for the wider public.
15 of the Worst Business Names
It's funny that the word inception doesn't really mean what it does in the -ception meme. "The time at which something begins" is the dictionary definition. In the movie this refers to planting an idea in someone through dreams, NOT the idea of nesting things within other things.

At this point though I've heard it used in the other way that it may as well be an alternate definition.

If he had what Dutch people call a pension, it's still his, and he can still collect it. We're not talking about money given out by the Dutch government at retirement. By pension, we're talking about investments made during the lifetime of your employment that the employee owns. If he made contributions to a Dutch pension he still owns it. That's property, and has nothing to do with residency.

"Say there are some alternatives to choose among. They could be policies, public projects, candidates in an election, distributions of income and labour requirements among the members of a society, or just about anything else. There are some people whose preferences will inform this choice, and the question is: which procedures are there for deriving, from what is known or can be found out about their preferences, a collective or “social” ordering of the alternatives from better to worse?"
