I was able to install and use Skype on Chrome OS but the webcam didn't work. It is a major downside for me as well. I've noticed a couple other issues, namely that rtfs aren't supported well (you must upload them to Docs, you can't just open them), and password-protected excel files cannot be opened in either Google Docs or Microsoft Office Online. You can open them in LibreOffice using rollapp.com, however. Also, as a minor complication, the touchpad drivers for the Acer C720 (and possibly other devices) only made it into the kernel with version 3.17; with most distributions this will require you to compile the kernel yourself. Finally, if I am allowed to pick at nits, then I would say that I dislike the Chrome OS partitioning scheme.

There is an ARChon-ready version of Skype on Github, which may or may not work for you.[0]

They like the name and, more importantly, have spent a substantial amount of money preparing to launch their brand. If they can reach an agreement with GNOME that is acceptable to both parties then why not?

I think this statement should remove any anger or resentment from both sides since at the end of the day they are willing to concede if they can't make everyone happy.

Although all things considered, they probably shouldn't have started developing their brand with this name in the first place.

Very creative way to combine the pros of recent fault-tolerant, distributed systems. Looks like you are the same jdoliner behind RethinkDB?

The link "git-like semantics" points to an article about ZFS -- not btrfs. I was already thinking of ZFS because Pfs reminds me of Joyent's Manta. Manta also provides virtualized containers for data where compute/MapReduce jobs can be run directly. I love ZFS and have been relying on it for years. Which makes me wonder:

* Why Btrfs and not ZFS? Licensing? Features? Lack of availability of ZFS hosts? [1]

* Joyent just open-sourced Manta, is the timing a coincidence?

* Manta provides "SnapLinks" for version control but otherwise does not really leverage ZFS to provide a history. What other differences and advantages does Pfs aim to provide?

Looking forward to how this project evolves.

[1] I own zfshosting.com since I see a need for affordable, semi-managed, online ZFS storage. If you share my vision please contact me.
The crazy thing about Fiji water is that it is actually bottled in Fiji and shipped around the world. So now even plain potable water can have a significant carbon footprint.

There is no fix for anything by that reasoning; we'll always have illness, accidents, crime, and browser crashes. We can improve those things significantly though, and we have and we can improve corruption.

Besides tax contribution topping, and market protection (what's this siphon to p-shares that trade in microseconds doubling my concern's trade overhead, and where is it rubbing the walls;) and citizenship (why is there a regulatory forbidden level where we may want our customers;) it's hard to say there is a forum; and that you don't rent there.

A majority of low-income urban families already have broadband access. Most of them would benefit more from lower teacher/student ratios in classrooms, or more frequently scheduled bus routes, than they would from a service that provides most of its value to people who pay monthly fees to Netflix and Amazon.

Giving everyone fiber Internet is an awesome move if fiber Internet is free. But since it isn't, it has to compete with every other spending priority that governments have.

My understanding, unless I'm wrong, is that a Title II reclassification can be done unilaterally by the FCC without Congressional assent (though it would immediately be sued by all the carriers). Accordingly, I'm reading it as a political ploy to force Congress into giving the FCC a better-suited regulatory regime for it than Title II, despite Congress currently not being friendly to such a thing. He's saying, in effect: "I want net neutrality badly enough that I'm willing to use this horrible regulation to do it that no one really wants, unless you cave and give me a better way." It might be a bluff?
Also Cloudant recently came out with their own libraries for iOS and Android (https://cloudant.com/blog/introducing-cloudant-sync), and in principle they should all be compatible with PouchDB/CouchDB. So I like to think we have options.
CloudFlare and Amazon CloudFront are both origin pull CDNs. (They pull content from your origin server as it is requested from users in different locations.) It looks like they should work just fine with WP Rocket. What makes you think they won't?
Hopefully so, but there may be some control by governments to still block access. I'm sure the States are going to have rules before these V-sats can be launched; no?

Useful Docker images can actually be made quite a bit smaller than 1GB+ by using small distros like busybox and following best practices such as cleaning up temporary data between commits. That being said this is a legitimate concern because it affects how tight a developers loop is so it's something we'll probably have to address longterm.

The NACDA Learfield Sports Directors' Cup is an award given annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics to the colleges and universities in the United States with the most success in collegiate athletics.

So Stanford has been the successful collegiate sports program across all sports. Its also held that title for 20 years.
While I feel that should have been mentioned, it still makes you wonder why people in NYC drink so much bottled water.
That brings to mind a study that I saw summarized, where the researcher put a fake turtle in a road and recorded the reactions of real drivers. While some would swerve to avoid, and a select few stopped their car and got out to help it across the road, there were also some who actively tried to hit the fake turtle with their cars.

I would assume that the automated system would overwhelmingly avoid any obstacle in the road, living or nonliving, except in situations where avoidance would create a greater danger to vehicle or occupants.

A slowly moving animal that does not occupy a large fraction of the lane width, is lower than the under-body clearance on most cars, and does not suddenly change its direction would overwhelmingly prefer automated vehicles. Squirrels, on the other hand, have a tendency to freak out and try to dodge when the car gets closer. The car might adjust to avoid one, only to have it juke underneath a tire at the last second. I doubt the car would do much more than to slightly adjust speed or move laterally within the bounds of the lane it currently occupies.

Great for turtles, but squirrels and rabbits don't have quite the right behavior profile to benefit from the likely collision avoidance strategy.
Pretty neat! As a suggestion, I would replace also the delimiters "()\{\}[]" with the corresponding left/right versions [1] so LaTeX adjusts automatically the size in the output and I don't have to deal with less readable code missing \left or \right errors.

As another tip to make LaTeX typesetting easier, I'd recommend using a custom keyboard distribution to input symbols easily, (e.g., alt + d for δ instead of \delta). In TeX.sx Jon Wickerson published [2] a layout for the british keyboard and the corresponding package to make LaTeX understand the unicode symbols. If you happen to have a spanish keyboard, I made an adaptation of that code [3].

And another thing: if you plan on using pretex a lot, it may be useful to parse the file on save (maybe before compilation). inotify-tools [4] or watchdog (OS X) [5] can help you, it's easy to create a script that will execute pretex whenever your LaTeX file changes.

Great work!

This paper has a lot of misleading information that I don't have time to parse out at the moment. I'm relatively well versed in aging literature, and right off the bat, citing the SENS hypothesis before anything a bit more validated by data leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The visual effect of rotation in the video is a combination of the rotation of the sun and the orbit of the Earth around the sun (the satellite that took the images used to create the video is in orbit around the Earth[1]). Ballpark combining the rotation of the sun and the orbit of the Earth gives a rotation period of about 26-27 days[2], so during the video (made from 16 days of images), the Sun would appear to rotate about 16/26.5 * 360 = 217 degrees.

It all depends on what tap water you compare it with. In many places in the US I’ve been, the tap water was heavily chlorinated, and that’s not exactly a subtle taste note in the water.
DDR3 supports 8gbit chips and you can shove 16 onto one DIMM, so 16GB. But that leaves 3 address lines unused for column select. Theoretically they could make a 64GB or 128GB board. Also LRDIMMs can go up to at least 64GB.

DDR4 directly supports 512GB, and also throws away three potential column address bits.

I got the impression the GP's main point was about the taste, which seems valid, if oversimplified. It seems like he should be tasting using a variety of methods, so as to recommend the vector that brings out the best in each strain.

And certainly he should not be smoking cigarettes! The comparison to a wine critic eating salsa is quite apt.

But your point about the lack of research is a good one. Unfortunately the federal government makes it very, very hard to conduct legitimate cannabis research in this country.

No commentary about entertainment venues removing/hiding the water fountains and making carry ins (like my refillable bottle) illegal for security theater reasons?

I'm not saying that explains 35 gallons a year unless you go out a heck of a lot more than I do, but it is something of a gateway drug, that once you get used to going to the state fair and spending $7 for a brat and ... $2 for the bottled water to go with it, you're on a slippery slope to buying more bottled water later. Look how cheap the bottles are at the store, why I paid $2 for one bottle at the fair, and I can get a dozen bottles at the food store for $3 what an awesome great deal bottled water is I'm gonna buy some for next time I go out...

Off topic to rancher maybe but how about [a tool for] treating (packaging) docker images as [Debian/rpm] packages, at least persistent images (images that are not one shot jobs) ?

Some of the images workflow as deploying/removing from a host, replacing existing images (upgrades), dependency management (app image v1.0 depends on Nginx image v2.0), metadata like OS startup scripts (pg image needs to start on boot) seems to already be covered by apt/rpm and that tools like Ansible/others leverage for deployments in infrastructures.
I don't know if I'd be able to maintain my calm in those situations, but yes, even when someone is treating you like shit, we have an obligation as humans to be decent to other people. Not excellent, mind you, just basic human decency.

It's easy to be nice to people who are nice to you. It's hard to be nice to people who are shitty to you, and often times, it's the people who are worst to you that most need basic decency offered to them.
My quick and dirty solution. Worked at least for my (Linux) laptop.

1. Chrome > Dev tools > Network tab > Search "webm" (everybody uses html5 video, right?) > Right click a request, "copy as CURL".

2. Insert into CLI, remove &range=- parameter, and redirect output to some file (or use -o curl option)

3. mplayer somefile.webm -rootwin -vf scale=1920:1080 (or whatever)

I'm sure there's a better/easier way, but it's a start.
This is probably due to the bookmarklet[1] that just reads the document.title from the page you are posting. It fills in the title automatically in the posting page. It is quite convenient... but often ends up not producing the actual title that is placed on the page. I believe this is the cause for a lot of HN posts not using the article title but the html title instead. And then people complain about the wrong title. And then mods make a call.

This is pretty cool, but seems like an illusion in that it appears to show a pattern where there isn't one. At least not exactly.

Firstly, the formula traces a spiral. If you plot every point, that is. You only plot a point if it's a prime, but it's still always going to trace a spiral!

Still, this only-plotting-primes business leads to new, unexpected patterns emerging. Yet, if you think about it, that's not altogether surprising really. Patterns emerge not so much in where the primes are, as where the primes aren't. Once you go beyond two, anything divisible by two can't be a prime anymore. Same with three. Same for all numbers, because that's what prime means. As a result, you get a pattern. It just so happens that this is what that pattern looks like when you plot it on a spiral rather than a straight line, or in a grid like the OP.

The grid has a similar effect, but the pattern forms vertical lines depending on how many of the prime factors within the set divide evenly by the modulo divisor chosen. Or the divisor +/- 1, which gives rise to diagonals (try adjusting the number up/down by 1 to see this effect).
ya... I guess I am making it more complicated than it has to be.

I have to wait a few days I think and cool off... I've been pouring my heart and soul into this, and this was just pretty crushing.
The downside of bottled water is BPA from the plastic container that is released when exposed to sunlight/heat but the downside of tap water is that you can't control the level of nitrites, PH levels, chlorine and debris from building pipes.
Do Enormous Magnets Affect the Human Body? (1983)
I certainly haven't heard that "a majority of low-income urban families already have broadband access", in fact I've read pretty much the exact opposite. I certainly agree that there are a host of other improvements that need to be made and it would be nice to see taxes spent on things like you stated, but saying that we shouldn't try to improve internet access just because other problems exist isn't any more valid than saying we shouldn't invest in space travel until we've solved all problems on Earth.

cops aren't going to agree to having the camera on at all times as a prerequisite for their testimony having special privilege. remember the video about why you shouldn't talk to the cops?

the situation that will emerge is as follows, if the cops cannot subvert or work around the camera tech to their advantage the cameras will be "left behind" and any excuse for that will be accepted.

that is unless one of the cops rats another out but the culture actively prevents that.
You have a list of requirements when generating an curve. Some of the requirements are needed so the equations you use have solutions, while some are there to prevent known attacks that take advantage of the structure of the curve.

The numbers should be choosen using a nothing-up-my-sleeves strategy, to prove that you haven't chosen them to enable an attack that isn't public knowledge yet. So you typically choose the first number that match all requirements, either counting sequentially, or using a preagreed pseudorandom sequence, like the Brainpool curves.

See for example the requirements used by the Brainpool curves - each requirement has a rationale.

He's referring to the fact that in the 70's and 80's everyone thought Japan was going to dominate but their economy wasn't (and still isn't) built on the most solid foundation. The Japanese were buying everything on debt, include Pebble Beach, but they didn't have much backing up those payments.

China has a ton of hidden debt that's masked by the government. No one knows how much is there. When added to their cultural and demographic problems I doubt we are seeing China's ascendancy.

A confluence of events that are coming to head in the last year and coming year is creating significant opportunities in the retail point of sale space. The retail technology stack has become pretty stale in the last 10 years. What you see at many retailers is decade old technology. The existing legacy players have carved out their domain and have fought hard to fight off any change.

All this is changing due to a number of events that are coming to head now.

* EMV liability shift in October 2015 is forcing merchants to upgrade their payment terminals. When merchants are upgrading, they all want to future proof their investment. So, they are all looking at the latest and greatest technology. The new Verifone and Ingenico terminals are filled with every type of technology that they can think of. This includes wifi, BLE, high res lcd screens, etc. In addition, both Verifone and Ingenico have opened up APIs for third parties to write apps for these terminals outside of the secure PCI sandbox. Then you have newcomers like Poynt that is trying to disrupt this entire space.

* Windows XP deprecation: many of the existing pos, like micros and Aloha, run on top of Windows XP. With the Windows XP deprecation, retailers are required to upgrade their pos to maintain PCI compliance. Instead of spending thousands on upgrading to the latest Micros and Aloha POS, they are now looking at tablet based and cloud based pos systems. This allows companies like Revel, Square, and Clover to move into the space of existing legacy players.

The largest challenge for these newcomers (that many underestimate) is the depth of software in the aloha/Micros pos. These pos not only handle order management and payment, but they also run the entire store operation (ie inventory, payroll, scheduling, etc). For a newcomer to come in, it's very high cost to replace all of these functionalities. At Money2020, one of the speakers stated "Changing a Pos is equivalent to changing the way they run the business"

* POS as a platform. Micros and Aloha treated their platform as an ecosystem that they wanted to protect. They make it very difficult for third parties to innovate on it. For example, to get access to the Micros SDK, it requires a $25k license plus $1k per deployment. This is a great barrier to entry for startups. The new players have all created open ecosystems to enable third parties to write apps on them. Verifone, Ingenico, Poynt, and Clover have all gone as far as to create an app store to enable third parties to sell and distribute their app.

Where we are at now in the pos space is where we were then in the mobile space when the iPhone first came out. There are lots of opportunities to innovate in this space. Lots of developers and startups are waiting at the gate for the entire retail technology stack to refresh to get into this space.

Definitely very exciting times.
