Interesting.

In Belgium we use a version of AZERTY that's optimized for Dutch and French. Naturally, it works great for English too. That is one reason why the notion of switching keyboard layouts when switching between languages with the same alphabet struck me as odd.

Nowadays I use an Apple US-QWERTY keyboard. It can be annoying when I need to enter diacritics, but it's great for programming. I never switch between keyboard layouts.

Last time I tried to grab an Uber from the airport (around 4 weeks ago) it no longer worked. You could see rides in the area but if you tried to drop a pin anywhere on airport property it wouldn't let you.
I implemented something like this as an alternative to the OpenId logins when I was at Fast Company. I believe it's still in use there if you click the person icon to login at the top right, select other options, and then "send me a one time link". Try it out?

We did this because we had people that didn't have Twitter or Facebook logins and needed to use some service that we had. I didn't want to build out a password database so came up with this work around.

Surprisingly we didn't receive that much hate mail about it, and we have a fair amount using it per day, so I'd say that people like it.
bittorrent allows a more ad hoc approach that gives results, whereas there doesn't appear to be financial incentives for someone to pay for amazon s3 to provide the same.
What a coincidence.. Few days ago has been released the report on the alleged LENR/cold fusion E-Cat reactor...

I think it's a great idea and will probably attract those devs who contribute on StackOverflow just to give back to the community.

That mustache is amazing as well.
Compact is good, because until you can fuse helium-3, the reactor is producing neutrons, which will transmute the reactor and its shielding into other, often radioactive elements. So the entire thing will have to be regularly replaced and disposed of (which we can do safely, but too many people believe otherwise).
I'd love to partner with Steam (or:Origin) on something like this.

I actually got unofficial approval to push my League of Legends linux image to the hub, which is an absolutely PITA to get installed right. I may do that; I don't play enough to maintain it.

Google has been working hard to break compatibility in a lot of places, like XMPP and calendars. They just don't care about interop and want to lock people in. Pretty sad coming from a company that made fun of Microsoft on stage at Google IO for breaking interop. It is sort of like a person who litters and creates an obnoxious environment to live in complaining the other people gets to litter more than them.

Seconded. Please, Maciej!
I bet with these types of fiascos, Google will be less likely to publish the source code of their projects in the future. When an uproar like this happens, it's impossible to engage in a technical discussion and find compromise. Sometimes fewer features make a better product.
No - if technical cooperation with a huge company slowed us down, we'd be dead in the water. We've partnered with IBM, Google, Red Hat, VMWare.. lots of big names, lots of great ambition.

I mean like "Curry-Howard isomorphism" and "state space" and "monad" and such. It makes it very easy to dismiss as academic wankery, which is helped by the fact that, well, yeah, some of it is, honestly. But under that academic wankery is some brilliantly practical stuff that is hard to learn from the communities that are over-focused on "practicality".
“the first reactors […] could be ready for use in a decade.”

I’m sure I’ve heard that somewhere before…
You are correct about naming of laws, but it doesn't necessarily make my point invalid.

I would believe that inviting a friend over to watch a movie is legal is because the copyright holders allow it under the license you agreed to as part of the transaction. They would most likely be within their current rights to restrict such a thing but I seriously doubt a court would agree with it.

In most cases ripping a DVD is most likely illegal in the United States as it is illegal in most cases to bypass any security measure to prevent copying. This has been covered under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but I am not familiar with any recent adjustments they have made to that law.

Downloading a copy of a movie under a torrent is illegal not because of the download, but the uploads of you seeding the file. I believe this has been established in the courts.

With all your examples, regardless of the material involved, can be perceived as theft under copyright protections if the copyright holder wishes to pursue it as such. Just because they allow some behaviors that may be seen as a detriment to them in some way, most likely it is not, doesn't mean that suddenly all behaviors are moral and legal.

The defenses I see of the idea that copyright infringement is ok and not really a crime is dependent over complicating the matter. It also requires stretching the definitions of commonly used words which has clear meanings throughout various cultures. I admittedly take a simplistic view of the matter and many may not agree, which I'm fine with.

I create a song. You wish to listen to the song. I want a dollar from you for this transaction to happen. You give me a dollar and you get a copy of the song. I have gained a dollar and you have gained the right to listen to the song. The opposite of that is you do not pay the dollar and copy the song illegally. I have been deprived of the dollar I am due and you have gained the ability to listen to the song. It could also be argued you have also gained the dollar that you were supposed to give to me in the transaction. That is the simple matter of why I consider it theft.

If the copyright holder was giving out the material without financial gain but with specific restrictions and one violated the restrictions, then I would say that is copyright violation that is not theft. But if the copyright holder expects monetary compensation as part of the agreement to let you consume the material and does not get it? That is theft.
Cheaper and more plentiful resources means less reason to go to war.
The main problem I have with this approach is a theoretical one: What if I can't get a cell phone or permanent email address?

You have to pay to have a phone and possibly have approval from the network/government to join.

Email is a lot better since it's a totally open network. However, Even then I'm leaving myself open to MITM attacks, being locked out of my email by government orders, ISP complaints, company lawsuits.

I will never be locked out of my passphrase.

With that said, after almost creating swiftlogin to do this very thing, I would support this effort as long as this does not become the one true way.
Thanks. It will attract those who spend time over genuine answers and not those gameing the SO system for points.

Power users win a mustache delivered by a founder :).
While it probably varies between different fields, I haven't seen any evidence for that in the startup world.

There's obviously a certain level of "accident of birth", you have a much better chance if you were born in a developed country, one where you can go to university, etc. But if we standardise at say pool of CS graduates from good universities it's certainly a much more level playing field.

If we take what's probably the most important relationship in the startup world, that of co-founders, most co-founders meet each other through work, actively seeking through professional networks or university. There's very few co-founders who met through family connections.

Similarly for investors, investors will take a recommendation from one of their portfolio founders who've worked with someone much more seriously than that from a family friend who just knows someone socially.
I haven't used Moloch myself, so I can't judge with complete accuracy, but here's my take:

1. Use case: Moloch, with it's focus on PCAP, is a cool network forensics tool, to be sure. Our focus is not only on security, but also on performance and troubleshooting. We use the traffic data as a foundation for integration with IDS alerts and latency (and jitter) data. The ability to pivot between views and visually correlate this data is incredibly (and surprisingly) useful for IT Staff who want to know at a glance if things are correlating or not. So I would suggest that Moloch is a little more limited in it's scope, at least in it's default configuration.

2. Usability: This ties in with the point below too. Our focus is making network analysis approachable for the average IT guy. Keeping things light, visual, and easy to use is super, super important to us. It's really the top item on our list under, you know, having correct data.

3. Maintainability (or SLAs, or whatever you want to call it). When I look at Moloch, I'm reminded of Zimbra, the free email server. Last time I installed Zimbra, it involved installing a lot of different stuff, configuring it all, and groking a LOT of documentation for different components before it was working to satisfaction. This is perfect for a certain market segment, the IT guy who has the time and energy to - not really roll his own - but to be really involved in everything that's going on.

the Sentry is not for that IT guy. We market to IT staff who don't have the time to install and maintain a bunch of components for a single tool. They have a security / network vision need (sorry about the buzzword) that needs to be filled, and they don't have a month to stumble through a complex linux install. Don't get me wrong, I personally am all about complex linux installs, I love getting into things myself, but this product is pre-packaged, with batteries included.

Hope that answers some of your questions!
Ok, so Windows Server 10 Core with OneGet would make a lot of sense for a base image. Thanks for the answer.
I'm guessing thats a typo

Yes!

> How will that work?

The same way it works now. Find an image you want to run, and docker run it.

Ask HN: Advice on turning your employer into a client?
Due to life events, I will be moving across the US in a couple of months. Currently employed as a web developer, and planning on approaching my employer about working remotely.

However, I eventually want to make the move into freelancing. So I'm thinking this is a good opportunity to pitch them to let me leave fulltime employment, but continuing working with them as a freelancer.

Anyone have any experience/advice doing this?
Thanks!
Flamewars are nothing new on the chromium.org issue tracker. Pretty much every bug looks like this one. Ultimately, the transparency and ability to accept external contributors outweighs the effort required to mitigate the flamewar.

It is nice to hear directly from users; something engineers thought was unimportant turns out to be a little more important than they thought. That's useful information.
Sorry if this is obvious somewhere, but i have to ask: Will this allow me on windows to pull a linux-based image (ubuntu for example) and run it on the windows platform or pull a windows based image and run it on the linux docker platform host?

I don't know about auto-deleting, but I can imagine there's a lot of flagging going on.

From the HN Guidelines: "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."[1] So if it's just an article like "2000 more people died of ebola in Liberia today" or "one more person was quarantined in Dallas", then it will probably get flagged (especially if it's the 13th article with a similar headline). If it's more hacker-related, like "mathematical models for predicting the ebola epidemic", it might have a better chance (as long as it's not the 13th article with the same headline).

The family sacrifice should not be discounted in any way. Specifically, being away from her children during the week could have an impact on her family for a long time. Probably less so with her three year-old daughter, but there will be an impact with her youngest child. There is still a huge amount of inherent bonding that happens at that age. I'm not disparaging her husband in any way, he seems like a good fella, but I can speak from experience. My daughter was 11 months old when I left for 500 Startups. I did the back and forth thing too. And I tried to be 100% when I was home. But that time away from her altered our relationship. No matter how awesome my wife was while I was gone.

Why? It provides an lower boundary on the human response time. It's significant because the ideal response already represents _at least a whole car length_ of travel distance. We don't even need to delve into what a realistic response time is: it's already so bad that we should be looking at alternatives like our machine-overlord-self-driving-cars.

How to get more user feeback?
Hi,
Do you know any platform that would facilitate the tests on users or get user feedback / advice on a prototype ?

Today we go in the cold streets of Paris and ask one by one the feedbacks : i have the feeling to lose time...
I know only one platform that debugs problems (but I forget the name anyway...)

Thanks for your help.

Simple? Yes. Pleasant? Not really. I'm not a Haskell expert but I can write that type in Scala (the Haskell version probably has less boilerplate, but still some):

sealed trait Even[N <: Nat]
object Even {
implicit object zero extends Even[_0]
implicit def evenSS[N <: Nat](implicit e: Even[N]) = new Even[S[S[N]]]{}
}
sealed trait EvenAndBetweenTwoAndFourteenAndNotTen
object EvenAndBetweenTwoAndFourteenAndNotTen {
implicit def forN[N <: Nat](implicit e: Even[N], le2: Le[_2, N], le14: Le[N, _14]) =
new EvenAndBetweenTwoAndFourteenAndNotTen[N]{}
implicit object interfere10 extends EvenAndBetweenTwoAndFourteenAndTen[_10]
}

Like I said, it's cumbersome, but there's nothing actually complicated about writing this, it's just boilerplate to represent it in the type system.

On the other hand, in Idris or the other languages mentioned in the article, you should be able to write that kind of constraint at the type level just as easily as you can at the value level. That's where it gets really exciting.
I would say that you are mistaking moral and legal issues. It's your moral right to commit illegal acts because of the Sony rootkit fiasco or other similar nefarious acts? Really? I guess we can all go rob banks now because of the financial industry misbehavior over the last few years? We can steal cars to determine if we like them before dropping twenty or thirty grand?
I seriously doesn't understands the issue here.

Okay it contains the Minecraft server binary, remove it. If it's the issue then it's no longer an issue if it's the user that download it themselves (I'm pretty sure it was working like that in the past).

Is it the signatures of the methods from the official server? Is it really an issue? Isn't all GPL project full of methods signature and call to windows binaries?
No, I wasn't aware of that option.

In our tests we did list requests for 100 messages and then bulk requests for each messages' headers (messages.get("me", message.getId).setFields("historyId,payload/headers")).

I'll look into that option and re-run the tests.

Having just gone through this for my Nexus 5 (defective GPS), you're wrong.

- I was on a live-chat with a rep within minutes.
- They shipped me a new Nexus 5 next-day air.
- I made sure I had all my data off the old phone.
- I shipped the old one back with the free shipping label.

No hassle, no fuss. Super impressed.
This article provides a lot more engineering information and other background and is well worth a thorough read. Thanks to flexie for finding and sharing the link.
whats your current deployment strategy, series of powershell scripts or something chef/puppet based?
We had a powershell based setup and my previous shop but hardest part was maintaing and deploying different databases to make the tests relevant.

How do you think docker containers helps (as Im not sure it would have helped in my previous situation - too many other base issues to deal with first)
It seems like this is solving the easy part of payroll. The actual "moving dollars between accounts" bit I just assume works fine with all payroll providers. It's getting taxes and deductions and bonuses and multiple states correct, and getting good reporting.

This product might be cheaper than what we do now, but the landing page does not convince me it's better.

(Disclaimer: HR & payroll is not my department.)
I'm not sure why this article is focusing on things like whether the reactor can fit on a truck, where you get deuterium, and how many coal power plants it can replace - instead of the actual question which is how they managed to produce a stable exothermal fusion reaction.
nevermind, this is hype - buried in the article

The team acknowledges that the project is in its earliest stages, and many key challenges remain before a viable prototype can be built

What I'd really like, rather than the original article (for which your criticism is dead on) or the NEWS file, is a summary of the important changes.
Just an FYI, you can use MacPorts to `sudo port install gdb`, and it installs gdb as 'ggdb' without the signing mess. To use with ddd invoke as `ddd --debugger ggdb` and it works like a charm.
On a similar vein, I wonder what are the strategical consequences of such an advance. Assuming it works as described in the article, do you allow the technology to be exported ?

Because a whole fleet of fusion air carriers, battleships, submarines and bombers versus a conventional army has plenty of implications in term of autonomy, reach, etc.

But on the other hand, there is a such demand for energy everywhere that it would really hard to morally ban all the civilians applications.

Our main reason for war right now is scarce energy.

Cheap clean electricity means no-one needs to care about the Middle East for starters — most of the fighting there is superpower proxy fighting — e.g. Assad would be gone if not backed by Russia and China, so no Islamic State. No Oil, no Iraq war x2. No oil, no Hugo Chavez for that matter.

You can do this today with boot2docker (running a linux VM behind the scenes)

I suppose the opposite of what I said could be true using something like KVM, but not a use case we are seeing a lot of right now.
This is just stupid - totally preventable. It is important to ask why this is happening here in the United States. Our medical system is FUBAR (acronym from saving "Private Ryan"). I guarantee that those nurses were concerned about exposure but were too afraid to raise their concerns beyond some minor quibbling. Our medical system has near zero transparency, and no one dares to point out mistakes for fear of backlash. Silence and blind obedience already spread unhindered through our medical system long before Ebola arrived.
Very very doubtful. You will not be able to run ELF (linux format) executables on windows any more than you'll ever be able to run PE (windows format) executables on Linux.
