I think the UX is slightly more nuanced.

From any machine, you should be able to `docker run` any application, and docker will be smart enough to find (or create!) the best place run it.

The base pieces of the lego are currently in flight in Docker proper to enable this, with great tools built around the Docker API for more advanced topics (like clustering and scheduling)

> Running boot2docker on windows is sort of cheating in that it is a virtual machine running docker apps and this effort appears to be a native dockerd running on Windows.

I wouldn't say it's cheating. If your target is all linux machines, you need a cheap, local, efficient way of developing and testing those applications. Boot2Docker is an option (but not the only one - you could use a cloud service, internal vm infra, etc. etc.)

Love the dialogue - keep it coming.
Yea I understand that, I know there's an actual CPU running actual code but I was trying to make the distinction between a full blown app and something that just streams a url given to it by a device.

> Can anyone explain to me what the fetish is with pushing the same amount of pixels as a freaking 27 inch display (which, by the way, I've always considered gorgeous)? I mean, does anyone actually notice the difference? Because if that difference means I'm paying $100-200 extra for a better screen, a better graphics chip etc, and it means my battery life is reduced, I really just don't get it.

There are several reasons:

1. Display quality is very important to (high end) phone users. People use these things for a lot of text-heavy, image-heavy and video-heavy stuff. And the higher resolution makes a lot of difference, particularly for text. I'm not saying resolution and display quality are the same thing, but resolution is definitely a contributing factor.

2. Because they can. Display manufacturing price scales with surface area, but much less so with resolution. Although higher res phone screens are more expensive, they are not that much more expensive. You don't pay $100-200 extra for a better screen, the manufacturer pays maybe $30-50 more when compared to a 1080p screen.

3. Because people can still see the difference. People still claim Apple made the end-all solution when with the retina displays "you couldn't see the pixels". As it turns out, not being able to make out individual pixels does not mean higher PPI stops adding value. Returns are diminishing, sure, but I sure as hell prefer my text rendered on 500ppi devices compared to 300ppi devices.

4. There is in fact a resolution arms race going on mobile phones. That much is true. I don't think it will continue much longer, though.
"Finally, the space logistics analysis revealed that for the most optimist scenario considered, establishing the first crew of a Mars settlement will requireapproximately 15 Falcon Heavy launches costing $4.5 billion, and these values will grow with additional crews. It is important to note that these numbers are derived considering only the ECLS and ISRU systems with spare parts."

Basically main points of review that it is feasible to establish settlement on mars, but maintenance costs will quickly skyrocket as colony grows and equipment ages. Report also advises that a lot more research into reliability and modularity of critical equipment is required to lower amount of spare parts required.

It goes without saying, that without getting to some level of self sufficiency given current launch costs (even if they are slashed by order of magnitude) it would be prohibitively expensive to maintain any sizable human presence on Mars. Therefore some research definitely needs to go into rolling out production facilities from scratch.
> The "phone" in smartphone is an anachronism of a bygone era, and actually seeing people using one as a phone is rare now.

That's absolutely not true. I can assure you people actually buy phones to phone.Or they would be buying ipod touch en masse without phone/data plans.

> browsing Reddit on a 4" screen iPhone, for instance, is an exercise in precision. Many downvotes were accidentally dished out on HN courtesy of small screens

Well,it's HN business to make its interface usable on my 320*480 (yes,I have a 3.5" screen phone).If HN doesnt,then HN doesnt care about smartphone users...

> If 95% of your use is as a landscape portable computer, that 5% use of "one handed through a parking lot" should rightly suffer.

... No it just means they didnt go mobile-first which is a mistake today. HN layout isnt even responsive. Responsive == Future proof. It's a simple as that.
It is easy for me to see jaggies on a 300 dpi device (the N7 and N10 are both in that ballpark, as was my old 720p phone). You can too -- go to a browser, and type "www" and then look at those letters. The jaggies are just what you'd expect from 300 dpi.

On the Nexus 5 (440 dpi), I can't see them anymore.

Resolutions above this seem unnecessary to me -- but for the N6, 1080p would mean 360 dpi, so that might be sub-perfect. 1440p will be perfect for sure.

Screen size!!! TVs are getting bigger. The factors involved are:

- Media quality/resolution

- Distance

- Panel quality/size
You repeatedly call her a liar.

Your inability to point to any occasion where she has lied is telling.
But the "proofs" of those control systems isn't anything that looks like a type system, is it? (An argument of the form "due to Curry-Howard, all proofs are type systems" will be regarded as uninteresting at best.)
Likely due to the larger 3200mAh battery, compared to 1800mAh for the iPhone 6.
I agree this is exaclty it.

They can't innovate, so they take the lazy route of packing more of the same old battery tech, display tech, and CPU tech in a container that simply holds more stuff.
The link seems to confirm the 400+ range is getting useless fast for anyone who isn't a baby holding the screen to their face.
Yeah but if you want to watch online stuff on your tv at this point you probably have about 6000 things that can run netflix etc, including the other google tv boxes, the amazon box, generic android boxes, the rokus, the apple tv, ps3/ps4, xbox360/xbox one, ps tv, chromecast, a hdmi cable or htpc etc.

How I got into Techstars and was almost kicked out
I honestly don't think Apple ever does something accidentally related to marketing. Everything is planned and executed to perfection. You can say a lot about Apple, but they're very good at marketing and "accidentally" stealing attention (remember that guy "leaving" his unreleased iPhone in a bar?).
Perhaps you're thinking of the observation that laziness essentially forced Haskell to be pure (otherwise the order of side effects is very difficult to control) and thus led to the invention of monadic IO.

If you're thinking of something else please do report back if you investigate as I would be interested to know.
It bothers me that we've lost the meaning of "memory" in the technical marketing of mobile gadgets.

"Memory: 16 GB & 32 GB." Google, of course, means storage.

It's easy if you're a 24 year old with no commitments. You can work in a cheap rental, and you can spend as much time as you like on the project, and eat ramen or whatever. People with families have to make a much more difficult commitment. They have to ensure they have startup cash, they have to move their whole family, or do a work around like she did, and they still have to provide childcare, schooling, and parental support.

If you are accepted to YC you get $120K in funding, a portion of which is more than enough to let you survive for three months in SV. That is enough whether you are a poor mom or a rich mom.

There are stories every day about moms making it, there just aren't that many in tech, mainly because of attitudes like yours that actually reinforce stereotypes.

The woman who wrote the article had already shown some skill in getting a hard-to-acquire domain name. I've been on both sides of those kinds of negotiations, and it's a nightmare. But she took the risk and had some vision. She also managed to save enough money when she left FB to kickstart her project. Yet you criticize her! What, she wasn't poor enough to be accepted? She worked at FB, so she had a leg- up, so she shouldn't be accepted? Now she's part of the club, so she's tainted? These are all ridiculous straw men. She's obviously a smart person -- and was accepted on her merits like any other applicant -- so good luck to her.

I don't know if you are in SV or not, but for those outside SV it is incredibly difficult to break in. I am currently based in Florida, and it's very difficult to get access to anyone with money, even though there's plenty around. The rest of the country is closed -- and it is lonely. At least with YC you have a chance.

All you need to do is look at the way SV worked before YC - you had to get a personal introduction to a VC, which is almost impossible for most people (and is still the case for those of us outside SV). YC says that if you "make things people want" then you have a chance to be considered with all the other applications. That's a great chance for many founders, and so far over 600 companies have been able to get access.

Finally, to say that Mr Altman's experience is indicative is way off the mark. In any group there will always be successes and failures. The point is the chance of success is much higher with a supportive and engaged community.
Passwordless logins, as implemented today, are less secure than password logins.

Flaws in the passwordless login system:

1. Authentication is done on unsecured connections. With all of the shouting over privacy and security, here we are abandoning secured, encrypted connections for SMSes and e-mail, two unencrypted, unauthenticated, somewhat unreliable, easily intercepted, plaintext messaging systems.

2. Replacing an out-of-bound token with one stored purely online. Any actor who controls the network (or your computing device) can subvert the login.

3. Depends on a pre-existing authentication, which itself uses passwords (or none at all), leaving you at the exact same state of security as you had before. Instead of two passwords that are the same, you have one password (the e-mail password) that is the same, or zero authentication with SMS.

4. No mandate for multiple-factor auth, nor out-of-bounds auth.

5. Zero security for the tokens (cookies) stored on the user's system, so data at rest is at risk, unless your browser encrypts cookies with a master password. Of course this is moot considering the total lack of encryption on the smtp/sms side and the lack of out-of-bounds auth.

Reasons why password logins are more secure:

1. Uses secured, encrypted connections to transmit secrets. Prevents man in the middle attacks and interception of logins.

2. Provides an out of bounds auth token. The only way to subvert this is to intercept it as it goes into a computing device, meaning either the client or server would have to be compromised at the time of login.

3. Data at rest is encrypted and only the user's cached token (cookie) can be used to steal a pre-authenticated login.

4. Password can be unique to the service, so a compromise of one system does not compromise all.

5. Industry standard is already to require multiple-factor authentication to be combined with this method for increased security.
I don't see how getting uninformed internet nerd rage on your side is going to somehow be a better fix than an actual legal settlement, which is what most mature companies rely on to fix their business disputes.

You would replace a bank with coinbase, circle, someone else you trust or 2, 3, 4, 5 or even 10 other companies or individuals. Similar to a web of trust.

That is just to replace the trust element of a bank, not the financial function. At the moment it is nearly impossible to split trust across more than one institution - which means there is a single point of failure in the trust chain and if 2008 repeats again x% of people will lose funds. m-of-n allows you to distribute that trust, even if its just more banks signing the transactions to begin with.

Further, there are other ways to do proof of reserve with bitcoin that don't involve m-of-n.

In terms of the financing and risk assessment element, you could carve that out in tranches and sell out it on auction. At the moment the $2 trillion p.a trade finance market is limited in entry to only those who have a banking license, hence the thick fees and profits in it. You could open up the financing and terms to an open market, just like crowdsourced venture funding or project funding, or have smaller institutions that specialize in certain types of risk that they better understand (it is crazy that there are a half-dozen major banks who pretend to be able to understand and price every time of import / export finance situation anywhere in the world).
Actually it seems it's a different camera than the 2014 Moto X, my evidence being primarily the larger aperture size, also OIS.
THIS. I predict the next big peering standoff to be between HBO and Verizon / Comcast based on these news. Looking at my HBO GO connection now, HBO seems to be getting bandwidth through Level3. I expect to see the same "congestion" shenanigans from the cable companies that we saw during the Netflix peering dustup.

6" is the perfect size, I've been saying this for years. (It was particularly obvious with the nexus 7 - just too big for a pocket). I'm looking to replace my Galaxy Note 2 this January, so I'm looking forward to a comparison between the Nexus 6 and the Note 4.
Yeah, the "put Linux on this" thing concerns me. In principle it's not that hard; in practice someone has to do the work. I don't want to be the guy that does the work :).

Hopefully somebody will do it soon.
I don't think they're actually proposing to put it on a truck. I think this is a "football fields" type size comparison.

> but I've never once in my life thought "boy, I wish my phone was even larger."

Labeling these "phones" is the wrong thing to do. These are computers that happen to have some lineage with phones. I think the ultimate aim is this: most people don't need computers, they need and want a single device. A phone with a small display is inadequate for that, but a phone with a display this big could be more than enough for a lot of people, for almost all purposes.

HBO has enough good content that I keep subscribing to cable to get it. I have zero interest in sports (ESPN). So for me, this is the end of my cable subscription.

This is the beginning of the end for cable. And hopefully also for propaganda stations like Fox News.
Your first paragraph is about laziness-vs-strictness, not functional vs imperative. Most Haskellers would agree that laziness is probably the least important benefit of the language.

It is true that the flip side of GHC's impressive optimizations is the performance of code is harder to reason about just by looking at it. One could argue that this is an simply unavoidable downside of having powerful optimizations -- the simpler the compilation process the easier it is to reason about performance.

Last I checked one can simply import a foreign function as pure, so they wouldn't need unsafePerformIO. Still, I wouldn't consider applying unsafePerformIO to a function that actually is pure a hack.

Regarding (hard) real time, check out http://stackoverflow.com/a/1267814 . Keep in mind that is 2009 so the state of things today could well be a lot better.
Blake Masters annotates Peter Thiel's YC lecture; talks about law school
Pardon me for my ignorance, but how exactly does a hackathon like this work? An how is it judged? Couldn't someone have already done all the work and then just pretend to complete it in the 24 hour period?
> Grand Prize: Along with having their hack turned into a Bayes Impact project, staffed with full-time data scientists [...] meet and eat with legendary entrepreneurs

If I'm reading this correctly, the grand prize is having your project taken from you and losing attribution? And the only reward the team gets in return after hours of work is breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

If anyone could clarify the nature of the grand prize, I would appreciate it.
Correct me if I am wrong, but each of these "steps" is a research project in their own right.

The AviationWeekly article mentioned D-T fusion for the Lockheed prototype and includes a diagram with the caption "blanket absorbs neutrons to breed fuel and transfer heat to turbines". This "blanket" will be tons of material that would be activated during operation and would have to be disposed of at EOL. Also, modern materials include many trace elements within the main molecular lattice such as cobalt, chromium, etc in steel and in some ways might be more difficult to process than used fuel rods.

I worked in the nuclear power industry decades ago and I don't recall the how the energy of fusion neutrons vs fission neutrons compared but I thought that in general fusion neutrons were significantly higher. Most power fission reactors also have neutron moderators which help to reduce the activation and embrittlement problems. Nevertheless, core components in fission reactors are already experiencing neutron embrittlement and has been a concern.

I'm not trying to be negative on fusion power but these overly optimistic reports have to be read with a critical eye.
Human visual acuity of 20/20 is being able to discern 1 arcmin in bright light. With trig, you get that, if you're holding the screen a foot away, that amounts to 0.000349 inches, which is 1432 dpi. If you're holding the device 2 ft away, it's 716 dpi. And against your face at 6 inches, you get 2865 dpi.
Size really gets to me. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Nexus 5, but I'm sick of phones that are borderline tablets.

I ended up buying a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (amami). It's damn near the same specs of a Nexus 5 except it actually fits in my hand (5.0"x2.56"x0.37"). Works flawlessly with Cyanogenmod. Best purchase I ever made. I bought two of them I liked it so much. Good on Sony for making an excellent smartphone.

If I have to use two hands to handle it, it's not a phone, it's a tablet.
I'm not so sure this is bad for cable companies. Until the cable companies are treated as common carriers, they will be free to pull whatever games they want to play against content providers, like leaving handoff links from transit providers overloaded.
I've been wanting 6" for years; it's the sweet spot where it's large enough to watch videos comfortably but small enough to fit in a pocket. A better question is why it took so long to get here.
Gamergate in Posterity
True, but we currently have gallons and gallons of highly flammable liquids hidden behind the cheapest #8 steel possible and something literally called a bumper, all exposed to whatever rust and rocks the nation's roads can throw at it. It's all about the level of risk.
With the increase in price and out-of-the-gate contract subsidies, the Nexus line has now transitioned from a developer-targeted effort to a full-fledged mass-consumer brand.

Having said that, this transition demands that they compete with the iPhones and Samsungs. Taking that into account they should've released an additional 4.5" phone, along with the 6". This could steal away the people who hesitated in getting the 4.7" iPhone 6 due to the size, and if someone is into getting a humongous 5.5 inch iPhone 6 Plus, they'd be even more into getting a 6" device with not much larger physical dimensions. The goal should be find the perfect two offers to cover the whole spectrum of buyers.
I don't see the connection with SUVs. They aren't impractical in the same way. For example, for many people (men and women alike), a device above a certain size cannot be carried hands-free. This is a fact. For me, this would be a dealbreaker. It's not about status; it's more closely linked with my unwillingness to type anything longer than a sentence or two on a small keyboard and screen.

On the horizon, I see a disconnect between the ideal size of mobile devices and the practicality of carrying them around everywhere. Poolside, hiking, on the toilet, out to dinner.

Something will have to change to fix this. I see the solution as new fashion trends that will be ushered in by people who are young -- young enough not to think that, for example, wearing a cell phone on a hip holster is symbolic of greybeard-ness, etc.
Many people here complain that phone is too big without ever using phablet. I was in this camp too until I started to use N6. I was testing this phone for last couple months. It's an amazing device, and even though sometimes it does feel big, on day to day basis it was never an issue for me. Consuming any type of content was much easier and more pleasurable. I noticed the difference especially when I sometimes moved back to Nexus 5 which I thought was perfect size. Well, it turns out I changed my mind now:)

If you can, try to use phablet at least for 1-2 days before discarding it.

One thing that might have helped is that I'm also using a smartwatch now and I take out my phone less frequently, but I don't think this change anything much.

That's not the sort of hat you'd wear when fighting in a trench, either.
What have they done? They've killed the single biggest feature of the nexus program, getting a great phone for an affordable off-contract price.

GameGate people were not banned on 4chan. This is you spreading misinfo. The subject was banned because of the spam apparently. But this too is called onto question due to the lack of response from the staff besides a few posts. The users were not banned unless they broke a rule. Many still go there.

As for the snippet about GG being a hate group. It is obviously a consumer revolt with no leaders of any kind. A group that is tired of gaming journalism's nonsense, "indie" games, and gender politics being shoved into games by people who don't even play them.

If you are going to judge to be so shallow to judge on an entire group of people based on an individual's actions or action. I don't know what to tell you.
