I had 5 or 6 1u servers in a rack. I would roll up a monitor and keyboard (provided by the data center folks). Twice just plugging in a ps2 keyboard froze the server. The fix was a usb keyboard (kept in the cabinet).

A kvm would be a solution... but for the rare visit to the colo it just wasn't worth it. One of those 1u rack mount with integrated monitor would have been nice (though the 1/4 cabinet was the top one so I don't think it would have worked very well).

Also with KVMs... wires and wires and wires. Blah!
There are many, many different takes on what is wanted.

The Government's Communications Minister, the Attorney-General's Department, the Attorney-General himself and the police/spies have all said different things on what will be required.

The ISP iiNet has also said that an internal document it received from the AG's Department a year or so back has very, very different requirements on what should be kept than what anyone is saying publicly.

Also, I see why authorities want it, but I don't think they should have it. As mentioned, there is already more than enough ways to get the information on targets if they want it.

What they are doing is a dragnet style surveillance approach in a democratic country.
1. If the company has a track record of acquihires, talk to one of these companies. If they have not got a track record of working with startups, it is very rare that they can get it right the first time.

2. Reduce the number of people on the other side interacting with you. In large companies too many people jump on these types of opportunities and will burn a lot of your time. Identify one senior person from the company that you have a good gut feeling about (preferably towards the end of their career) and make one of your team work on a plan closely together with them. Let the other two work ahead on your original plan.

3. You as a startup have one agenda - you want to make it big together - remember that in large corporations each individual comes with their own agenda, most often not aligned with each other. And also remember that large corporations, especially when struggling with innovative competitors, will try to belittle smaller companies and negotiate you down.

> His allegations were a mix of the implausible and the cliché. It would take a remarkably naïve candidate to both take these allegations at face value, and think Reddit is somehow unusual in being on the wrong end of them. If not having this stain is the criteria by which they judge potential employers, they will find no employment.

1) Well, that is demonstrably false. I'm employed just fine.

2) I've encountered a similar situation before that was a real toxic mess where I took the view you espouse and I regret it. So I think you are the one who is naive.

But hey, whatever. I must be lying since your absolutist view is 100% correct to you.
Speaking as someone you might consider xenophobic -- in that I think the set of opinions that constitute Islam are pretty awful, particularly in regard to apostates, women, and homosexuals -- I've never considered bacon to be an avenue to white supremacy. Then again, I'm not white.

There are significant ethical hurdles to eating bacon, but Islamophobia isn't one of them.

"...Its other, capitalistic, neighbor Mexico has 2x that GDP per capita..."

Initially, I thought... that HAS to be wrong... because Mexico has 10x the resources that Cuba has. But I looked it up... and you're right... Mexico only has 2x the GDP.

Not really taking any sides here on the whole capitalism v communism thing...

But Mexico has 120 MILLION people, 100 times the energy reserves AND trade with the US... and it STILL cannot even double the GDP of a nation with 11 MILLION people and an embargo (ie - NO trade with the US)... (Cuba: 6,051 Mexico: 10,307)

That's pretty pathetic. I mean REALLY? You have 10x the resources, 100x the energy reserves... and you can only muster twice the GDP ??? Something's not right about that.

I guess that's not really a comment on Cuba as much as it is a comment on Mexico. I didn't realize it was that bad... I don't blame Mexican immigrants for trying to come to the US.
It's IFTTT for the backend, so i suppose it's more developer related then something else (no offence)

I had some problem with my mailgun-sent emails being marked as spam. But I was only using the free plan, since I only send 25 mails a week or so.

I didn't have any problems with DKIM, though, or SPF. My problem was having to use a shared IP (part of the free plan) and sometimes getting an IP that was in one of the spam blacklists.

I'd add that https://www.mail-tester.com/ was INCREDIBLY useful when I was trying to diagnose problems.

I think these are two overlapping non-linear functions, the intersection of the two is a minima.

"Many eyes" worked for a while but the benefits were lost as scale increased. You are saying that we need to focus on reducing code size. This other extreme is many small unrelated pieces of small functionality, which also breaks down. You would just have a bunch of small programs, some of which are ignored. The complexity remains constant.

Software inspection has shown to have good benefits, this is the heart of "many eyes", the trick is getting coverage. "Many eyes" worked when applied against small enough problems for self organizing groups. As you hint when you say "Modern code is too voluminous for there to be enough eyes to keep Raymond's theory working in practice." Isn't this a management issue? A problem of getting enough people to look into the dark corners and communicate the results?

If you're seriously oriented towards an aquire-hire, an option can also be to look for an experienced corporate dev to join you as an advisor or as part of the team.

Are you kidding me? What world do you live in where corporate executives and companies are punished for lying?
The kernel devs are mad that flipping a kernel debug switch (on the kernel command-line, after all!), causes a userspace program to change its behavior, to the point that "the system becomes undebuggable on a dracut/systemd system" (kernel dev's words; apparently systemd spews a bunch of debug info into dmesg.)

If you're going to say it's the kernel's fault, it's ultimately because they ever exposed the kernel cmdline to userspace, as something like this was inevitable.

> got flamed to a crisp by kernel developers who want to keep using "debug" to debug their kernel code because they've always done it that way

If their reports can be believed, they literally can't get work done (if it involves turning on debug in the kernel of a systemd installation), so it's far from some petty turf war or irrational hatred for change. Even if they should change, you seem to take it for granted, that they should have to change their kernel workflow, based on what something in userspace does -- why?
Just to be clear

"But standardized tests, the SAT, and the ACT are all moving over to Common Core. So our child has to learn this insanity."

which implies that standardized tests test for this particular "counting up" subtraction method. If I understand your statement you are saying that this is not the case.

Right?
Not just chicken but most birds (goose, turkey, duckling, pheasant...). Also, lamb.

My understanding is that the difference is because at one point in England the nobility (who ate the animals) spoke something closer to French while the peasants (who raised the animals) spoke something closer to German. So we get beef on our plate but a cow in the field, pork versus pig or swine. It wasn't to distance the food from the animal, but the lower classes from the aristocracy. Whether it now serves that role is another question.
If this interests you, you might like the book "Red Plenty".

It alternates between novel and essay about Khrushchev-era USSR, when people on both sides of the curtain thought there was a pretty good chance that the Soviets would succeed, if not as a Socialist Utopia at least in economically overtaking the west in output and quality of life.

Also, this excellent essay about the computational aspects of Gosplan, the USSR's mostly human-powered predecessor to Cybersyn: http://crookedtimber.org/2012/05/30/in-soviet-union-optimiza... (which is where I learned about Red Plenty)

Beijing is now the global center of finance and industry. I bet on Tokyo, and learned Japanese. By the time I was old enough to make an impact, the market had shifted to Beijing/Shenzhen.

Calgary is an interesting place to live, with gorgeous women of many different ethnicities. There's currently a gold rush going on there, and relocating as to get in on that sweet environmental destruction would have been a good idea.
This seems like generated outrage.

The OP should take a minute to think about how the method of subtraction works, and then explain it to his kid.

I associate this panic reaction (OP: "this new method makes no freaking sense") with people who are math-phobic. The solution is to just settle down and think about it. (Common core, third grade objectives, number 1: "Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.")

And, one thing I've learned about elementary educators is that they don't want to fight with parents. (Unsurprising!) So if you say (like OP did), "This common core math sucks," they are going to say, "yes, we don't like it either." If you said it was an interesting way to do subtraction, they'd agree with that too.

It isn't about customer insight, it is about control system in cybernetics sense (where the more system information reflected in observation vector, the more chances you have to generate optimal control input). While capitalist society puts a lot of belief into emergent behavior of the system, socialist is obsessed with optimal control of the system.
Apparently You and the author haven't haven't heard of the Rinzai school of Zen, which is not a Western invention. You're espousing quite a narrow point of view of a philosophy that is about supplanting dualistic closemindedness.

For people who are put off by ceremony and do not find long periods of sitting meditation (40 minutes or more) particularly useful, check out the Rinzai school of Zen. Shorter periods of sitting meditation, more emphasis on thinking critically about koans and "dharma combat" -- critical discussion. Rinzai abhorred ritual and ceremony for its own sake, so less emphasis on that.

You think you're being sarcastic. The only reason why fruits are okay in moderation is that their fiber mitigates some of the damage of their sugar content. The vitamins you can get from fruit are valuable, but the sugar rush isn't.

I'm not opposed to the occasional fruit. But given your tone, I rather suspect you think Jamba Juice is healthier than a steak. Go ahead, I'm not here to save your life... but you may want to read a bit on the subject. I'd start with Gary Taubes, Peter Attia, and Robert Lustig.
I understand, there's a threshold beyond which the details of your code become somewhat blurry. I shouldn't have emphasized the duration as I'm not entirely sure what it amounts to, usually a week is enough for me :) The point is, find something that will distract you enough to forget these details, allowing you to become your target audience while writing the documentation. This is one way to zoom out and discover what is important and what is not.
Common Core standards do not include the counting-up method. So a test that only measures Common-Core compliance would not test for that.
Because no one knows what they are talking about. There is a difference between a bug that's inside a program and a bug that's caused by the unexpected interaction of half a dozen programs. The only people who will see the later are those who actually use programs in the wild, e.g. system admins and not developers.

Which is exactly his point. "Have you submitted a patch" followed by "it's not our bug" doesn't help, it's down right idiotic when it comes to emergent bugs. Everyone involved can honestly say "not my problem" while you're stuck with a dead system "because you have the disabled".

Mr.Poettering et al seem not to realize that bugs don't just come from within programs but from how programs interact with their environment. When you hide all the details behind a single monolithic process it is either "this works" or "this doesn't" and there's nothing you can do about it. When it's a shell script trying together 20 programs it's "this kind mostly works apart from when x happens, which I can have a check for".

I hope this is sarcasm.

Sure, the USSR was a totalitarian state. That said, both sides pursued an aggressive, expansionist policy via proxy. The "champion of liberty" installed thoroughly repressive regimes all over South America which had little to envy to the Soviet Union. It didn't prove itself above manufacturing border incidents to trigger the Vietnam war, either. Was the USSR worse? Certainly. But this doesn't make the US the good guy in the story.

Ironically (and yes, this is the proper usage of irony) the US embargo on Cuba likely made communism in Cuba more successful than it otherwise would have been. It united the Cuban people in their lack of access to goods on the International market, and helped create an egalitarianism that otherwise doesn't exist if people have access to international trade markets.

Cuba has managed to do a lot with very little, especially with regards to education and health care. Their systems are on-par with those in developed, capitalist countries while their per capita income places them among the most impoverished countries on earth.

They're a corporation, so naturally they're biased towards their customers, shareholders and business partners.

The important point is that the original poster doesn't fall into any of those categories. If he wants his file to be hosted by someone who cares, a Google subsidiary probably isn't that.
If the company has a track record of acquihires, talk to one of these companies.

Not all the time, I must admit - but when I'm blindly poking my phone or it's just grabbed out of my pocket, some part of the screen (that for me is the most likely part) makes the swipe prompt disappear and is replaced with the passcode entry.

Given that I have my N5 in a case, perhaps it's an inadvertent button press. Still, the UI should always provide swipe access to disable an alarm while the device is blaring at me.
> In running reddit, there's an interesting balance between the normal standards of professionalism (which we try very hard to uphold even when someone is being unreasonable) and the fact that we're a huge internet forum where a higher degree of openness is expected.

Odd. I see no evidence in his comments that he's even slightly familiar with the "normal standards of professionalism" in a situation like this. I'm not being snotty: it would be interesting to know what he thinks he is balancing "openness" against.
And we'll consider your downvotes to be a sign of vexation, rather than legitimate contribution to the conversation. This type of censorship is not in the spirit of the HN guidelines.

You are welcome to your opinion. ;)

But anyone who responds to being called out publicly, isn't retaliating imo.
You need to have a Letter of Intent in place, and you should talk to an attourney as others have suggested. It's disproportionately expensive for your company in this process, so there should be a monetary component which protects your company if any kind of deal goes south. For a 3-person startup, I'm sure you guys are getting absolutely nothing done right now, so if they're serious about talking to you, they shouldn't have any problems putting some cash on the line.
>I went through an "own every calculator phase"

That could be an interesting HN or blog post if you wanted to do it. I'm a bit of a calculator fan myself, though I haven't used many different models. There's something about physical products, even though virtual ones are more flexible / configurable, being software.
My health has never been better. I'm not sure why you think I've earned your derison... but okay.

Eat sugar, dude. I'm not here to save your life. But if some of the awesome nerds who read HN decide to get healthy, I'd really recommend eliminating sugar from your diet. Life is so much better without it.

Recommended introductory reading would be Gary Taubes, Robert Lustig, and Peter Attia. The history of nutrition over the past fifty years is absolutely shocking.

The belief that the human nutritional optimum is narrow and deep, so that "complete elimination of food X" and "total focus on food Y" will enormously enhance your health is a crypto-creationist argument, as it requires a complete rejection of everything we know about evolution in general and human evolution in particular.

Omnivores like humans evolve with broad, shallow nutritional optima. Humans are happy with a diet of simple starches (metabolically almost indistinguishable from refined sugars) or a diet of fatty meat, and do pretty much the same on almost everything in between. There are statistically measurable variations, but the optimum is so broad and shallow--as our evolutionary history would predict--that it is full of really shallow local optima that are due purely to noise. Crypto-creationists glom onto these shallow local optima and make out like they have incredibly deep minima hidden in their midst, which is utterly implausible unless you reject evolution as the force that shaped us as species.

Here's a Way to Fight Fashion Appropriation and Support Indigenous Artisans
Back in the days before computerized cash registers, this was typically how cashiers made change. Hand one $5 for a $1.34 purchase, and the cashier counts it back out as

(penny) $1.35
(nickel) $1.50
(quarters) $1.75, $2
(dollar bills) $3, $4, $5

Some still do it that way.

In Teacher in America, chapter "Let x Equal ...", Jacques Barzun mentioned as an example of widespread innumeracy the half-trained cashiers who did not know this technique. That was written in the early 1940s.
