> Only rare because journalists are extremely lazy by default, and need their stories pre-drafted and handed to them on a silver platter

That doesn't follow. If that is true, then it would be very easy for a company to be able to stay relatively secretive while raising a huge amount of funding; with lazy journalists as you describe, a company could raise funding by networking and so long as no one involved issued press releases, they would succeed in being secretive.
Actually, the CST-100 vs. Manned Dragon comparison is more complicated than that. Manned Dragon is based on Cargo Dragon, which has already flown six times. While Manned Dragon is eventually planned to land on rockets, it can start by landing in the water with parachutes, just like Cargo Dragon, while Cargo Dragon is flown a bunch of times with rocket landing to work out the bugs.

Since the CST-100 is only used for people, it will have a much lower flight rate and much less testing before humans fly in it.

Finally, Manned Dragon will have its abort test flown within the next few months; CST-100 is a bit behind.

Is it possible that by using an old kernel like this one, you'd expose yourself to security vulnerabilities?

I'm new to kernel programming. Is this submission suggesting that you downgrade your kernel to a 2010-era release in order to take advantage of the performance improvements, or is the submission showing some kind of modular component which you can integrate into your current kernel?

If it's the former, then wouldn't you be pinning yourself to the old version of the kernel, so you'll have to integrate all updates by hand rather than receive them automatically during the normal update process?

> There is always a server that knows who you are. Whether it's a OpenVPN server hosted on an EC2 instance or a TOR entry node.

There's a fundamental difference here. With EC2, you get a server that knows who you are and what you're saying (at least they know who you're talking with, if you use HTTPS). The TOR entry node only knows who you are, but knows nothing about who you're communicating with or what you're saying.

The second myth – expert developers do not make silly mistakes
I have to strongly disagree. I have used their Sliverlight components in every SL project I have been involved with for the last four years and I could`t live without them.
They are professional components for enterprise which does something that a open-source project could seldom( maybe never) do, support all the odd-cases needed. These are all the weird cases that no one would bother to implement in an OS-project, since it`s very seldom needed, but since they know that their customers might need this functionally they have already implemented it. Just look at the feature list for their GridView component for SL and try to match that with an OS-project.
Combining this with good support and you got a winner.

As a result the good experiences I had with their components in a SL context I am know adopting their KendoUI components together with ReactJs. So far all the points made above for SL still stands for KendoUI.
They are the second to most recent releases - RHEL7 was released in June, CentOS 7 in July.
> I've had frustrations with the user permissions on the volume between {pg container, data container, host OS}

Then don't use data containers. I don't see much benefit from that either. The stuff we put on data volumes is stuff we want to manage the availability of very carefully, so I prefer more direct control.

And so when I use volumes it's always bind mounts from the host. Some of them are local disk, some of them are network filesystems.

We have some Gluster volumes that are exported from Docker containers that imports the raw storage via bind mounts from their respective hosts, for example, and then mounted on other hosts and bind-mounted into our other containers, just to make things convoluted - works great for high availability (I'm not recommending Gluster for Postgres, btw.; it "should" work with the right config, but I'd not dare without very, very extensive testing; nothing specific with Gluster, just generally terrified of databases on distributed filesystesms).

> for something like postgres that likely lives on it's own machine.

We usually colocate all our postgres instances with other stuff. There's generally a huge discrepancy between the most cost-effective amount of storage/iops, RAM and processing power if you're aiming for high density colocation, so it's far cheaper for us that way.
The question I have is can I use this as a central auth system the other way. AD is expensive as crap, but if this is self-healing and self-backup, then its a good idea for us. Frankly anything is better than Open directory
I am not sure if it's a burnout. I am perfectly sound physically. I had a small period of time when I couldn't think clear, it spanned 2-3 weeks though so may be can't call it small; I barely remember few memories of that time. But it was 3 months back and I snapped out of it as soon as I got physically well and was as productive as I am normally.

Now although I am physically sound, I am unable to concentrate. I can't focus for no apparent physical reason other than this feeling of too bored to live. May be I am actually depressed, and should go get some counselling.
D'oh. Where do I turn in my geek card?

Thanks.
RHEL 7/CentOS 7 are the most recent releases. 6 was released 3 years ago.
While the performance seen here is nice, i'm curious to see the price/performance ratio. Running against a 8-core XEON would not make sense if the closer Intel system price-wise is a quad 12-core xeon... Obviously we are talking cloud here so it might not even apply.

By my experience with Power7, the price/performance ratio is much lower on Power then Intel systems. Maybe it changed but i'm not holding my breath, even if IBM seems much more aggressive on pricing with P8 then they were with P5-P7. The

Quick calculation, absolutely unscientific:

Seeing that the price is 0.14$/hour for the 6-core xeon and 1.08$/hour on the 176 core P8, it would have to be roughly 8-10x faster to justify the cost difference, not sure it will be the case.

The university is composed of several different colleges, in a formal education alliance.

Fraternities and sororities are a separate college, in an informal alliance. They offer their own courses, for which you pay them tuition directly, instead of through the university bursar. They have their own admission requirements.

Here is a sampling from their course catalog:

FSS (fraternity and sorority system) 101 - Finding Your Clique
FSS 102 - Building Common Experiences Through Hazing
FSS 103 - Introduction to Social Hierarchies
FSS 104 - Basic Social Interactions
FSS 201 - Party Management
FSS 202M - Informal Rules of the Brotherhood
FSS 202F - Informal Rules of the Sisterhood
FSS 203 - Essential Duties of the Wingman
FSS 204 - Hooking Up and Cockblocking Awareness
FSS 301 - Organizational Public Relations (Shut Your Mouth, Bro)
FSS 302 - Advanced Pranking
...

Just think of it as a school devoted to the practical study of human interactions, based loosely on the apprenticeship model. The right fraternity or sorority will teach you how to get more out of life with less effort.

The downside is that it produces a lot of illusory conformity. There are plenty of people who don't even like Natty Light and football; that's just the center of gravity and safe fallback for their social interactions. A guaranteed safe common cultural basis is essential for knitting together a lot of disparate personalities into one social club.

That is a form of systems hacking, albeit one that many of us may have trouble recognizing, because we are more accustomed to hacking things that aren't people. If you can find common interests with a "bro", you can have perfectly normal interactions with them. But they have already established a default among themselves, wherein they can skip the awkward protocol handshakes and acquaintance-building exercises, and jump right to the profitable social interactions. This doubles as a rudimentary trust network to support immediately elevated privileges.

(I am not a "bro", but I have an outsider's understanding of the system.)

Telerik wasn't half bad when I was the only .net developer for a hospital system with 3,000 employees. It made short work for me since building AJAX-y controls meant less time building business rules.

The controls are really bad, they produce a lot of awful JS. Also, with newer frameworks such as angular, knockout, ember, et al...building reusable JS components got simpler. I haven't yet used KendoUI but haven't had a need too, building my own was far more fun (and with OData, not that much time either).

I did use their reporting product a lot but even that was too heavy and cumbersome.

The article specifically mentions that he can and has since he turned 18:

> When he turned 18, Thomas was encouraged to donate blood for himself. There is now no frozen blood bank in Switzerland, so his blood is stored in the rare blood banks in Paris and Amsterdam.

And that his approval is required for doctors to draw into his "personal stash":

> Since his blood can be given to anyone with a negative Rh blood type, Thomas could save countless lives. But if he ever needs blood himself, he can receive only Rhnull blood. If he donates a unit for himself, he has to permit it to be used by anyone else who might need it.

The article strongly hints that donations for third parties are not stored in blood banks but donated directly (because fresh blood can be kept for much longer, frozen blood has to be used within 4 days of thawing)
Actually without a datacap it becomes quite expensive.

Purchase a modern AAA game on steam, they're around 30G. Instant 15e additional tax when downloading it. And that tax gets paid every time you redownload anything.

Reminds me of the lyrics to an old Talking Heads song:

Seen and Not Seen

"He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books....

He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his mind....Or somewhere in the back of his mind....That he might, by force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal....The change would be very subtle....It might take ten years or so....
Gradually his face would change its' shape....A more hooked nose... Wider, thinner lips....Beady eyes....A larger forehead.

He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other people....They had also molded their faced according to some ideal....Maybe they imagined that their new face would better suit their personality....Or maybe they imagined that their personality would be forced to change to fit the new appearance....This is why first impressions are often correct...

Although some people might have made mistakes....They may have arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them.... They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish whim, or momentary impulse....Some may have gotten half-way there, and then changed their minds.

He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake."

Agreed. One of the most important duties of a parent is to serve a positive example by living how you would want your children to live. I know too many whining self-martyrs that believe the quality of parenting is proportional to the amount of misery they are in. I don't believe that is true and these parents are not only failing themselves, but their families as well.
"do actual work" can be re-interpreted by sleazy lawyering in many ways.

I've had some companies ask me to implement small snippets of code (QuadTree in C++ type stuff) as part of an interview process. Do I have chance of billing them for my time?

The difference between "work" and "work sample for interview purposes" can be muddled that was the point.
On the other hand, as an iOS developer, you can use Xcode and not have to learn Eclipse or Android Studio. I'm no fan of Xcode, but if big IDEs are completely alien to you, I wouldn't claim that Eclipse would be a comforting environment either.
> 9x bandwidth to RAM (230 GB/s vs. 25.6)

Haswell-EP supports 4 DDR4-2133 channels, or 68 GB/s (theoretical). TDP on POWER8 is almost double and it's much more expensive, so we should think about it as having perhaps double the DRAM bandwidth (still excellent).

Note that POWER8 gets this bandwidth through many more channels, which favors the use of many memory streams. This has been the case historically, with POWER favoring data structures that result in many streams, while the same transformation has been catastrophic for memory performance on Blue Gene's PPC, with its limited prefetch engine and small number of outstanding memory requests.
My experience is that you can generally skate along on Haskell's type system and get further into a project without hitting the complexity threshold where you need tests to confidently make improvements.

Bigger and longer-lived projects benefit enormously from an automated test suite no matter what they're written in.
In addition to the other fine replies: As a game gets bigger and more complicated, you'll often find that the direct mutable OO approach becomes an antipattern at scale.

Do you have anything that you want to do, but discover halfway through for some reason it's not legal? Good luck undoing what was half done. Of course you might think the simple answer is "don't do that", but as the game gets bigger and responsibilities get spread out between all the objects it becomes increasingly easy for some action to become possible that requires a lot of checking, and if things are just willy-nilly mutating themselves the odds of you encountering this sort of problem skyrocket. And that's just one example... games by their nature resist the sort of decomposition that most "real" software can have done on it, because as soon as you tell a designer that X can't talk to Y, by golly they'll start thinking about how awesome it would be if X was talking to Y. You don't get a pretty tree of relationships with occasional crosstalk, you get a nasty snarl of communication patterns, irreducibly.

Many games end up functional under the hood anyhow, with a clearly-defined loop:

1. Ask all the objects in the world what they "want" to do.
2. Validate and resolve conflicts.
3. Render the new world state.

One of OO's big problems in general is lack of control over the profound, often-overpowerful effects of mutation, and used in an undisciplined manner, games often turn into a worst-case-scenario for OO. And most of using them in a "disciplined" manner turns out to be using "FP" techniques to keep the complexity under control.

Of course nothing stops you from doing that in OO, with discipline and care unenforced by the compiler. But what it does mean is that suddenly the "mismatch" that you're referring to disappears, and one starts wondering whether perhaps FP is the better match for games and OO the accident of history.
I believe, based on descriptions of the prototype, that it will be 800 x 480. That seems rather small, but they want to hit a price point (< $70), consistent with their primary mission of providing an affordable educational system.
I've wondered in the past how good some expert system like Watson would do with legal databases. There's a lot of speculation on how automation is going to reduce factory jobs, but very little discussion about Watson could maybe wipe out much of human-time needed for legal research. Has the hurdle mostly been that the data is locked up in difficult to access databases?

It has been shown that there is good evidence that this is the case, which they are going to follow up with further study.

And lay folk do find errors in papers all the time, it varies a lot on the paper and the field how difficult that is though. Some papers, the vast majority of scientists would not be able to spot errors, it really depends on how specialist the required knowledge is and there really are no hard and fast rules there.

So given a study that turned out to be false, in general it isn't possible to argue either way as to whether a layman would spot errors, you would have to argue it on a case by case basis.

The one thing we do know is you definitely cannot spot errors without at least reading the thing and going through the working.

That is interesting. RAM bandwidth could significantly impact a lot of applications. I guess the only ways it to measure and compare.

The problem I see with power is it has a different endiannes and even though compilers know how to handle it, a lot of libraries and code might just assume some specific ordering (little endian) and thus fail un-expectedly on POWER.

Urgent Information Proof Nano Silver 10ppm Works to Combat Ebola
Hello HN! After three years of development, I’m excited to announce the launch of PolyBrowser, a “Panoramic Web Browser” that helps you browse faster by stitching your websites together, side-by-side, like a panoramic photo. You can zoom out to see all of your websites at once, or zoom in to see the details. Our goal is to help you search better and work faster by freeing you from the limitation of seeing only one website at a time. PolyBrowser is tailored for users who keep many tabs open, as well as people who do web research such as students, analysts and journalists.

Please give it a try! (Windows and Mac) Let us know about your experience. (We have a discussion forum at https://PolyBrowser.com.) We are also seeking additional team members and industry advisors. Contact me at aaron.travis (at ) polysuite (dot) com.

Why can't we use several authentication mechanisms at once? For example I don't think it takes that much more hassle to set-up face unlock, fingerprint recognition and NFC pairing compared to having to set-up only fingerprint recognition. They are just two simple extra settings, and then NFC pairing and face unlock are pretty much out of the way.

NFC pairing could automatically activate when you try to use fingerprint recognition, being in range. And Face Unlock just activates while you hold your phone in hand, like Google did in Android 5.0.
