Exactly this, I use youtube because everything I want to watch is only on youtube, I use facebook because everyone I want to keep in touch with is only on facebook, I use search because because it's a good product and not because something external is forcing me to use it. If a better search comes along I'm gone in a second.
backward compatibility?
> Search, on the other hand, still has massive room for improvement.

This is true, but it's also a really hard problem and most likely any improvements will require enormous scale to implement (because they'll be based on statistical analysis of prior search queries), which only Google and a handful of others have. So no network effects, but huge economies of scale.

Plus, having used some other search engines (DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Bing, etc.), I feel that Google still has a comfortable lead than the competition.
All I see on cnn.com is "#WeCanLandOnACometButWeCant" and it's been very inactive in my Facebook feed. Maybe I need less superficial friends?

That isn't going to stop a terrible company like Amazon from suing someone for violating their NCA. Which they can and have done.
Selectively editing my quote so as to exclude the primary point (about Discover's insistence on being made whole) forces me to doubt either your reading comprehension or your honesty. Whichever is to blame, I see no point to continuing this conversation.
I could see them partnering with Tesla or some other forward thinking automaker in the near future. It would be a very large investment to also build their own cars which probably wouldn't pay off as well as a partnership.
This doesn't really pencil out..."your binary, and the libraries it uses" can easily get into the GB when you include components like the .NET framework or java base class library. I don't know exactly how large a fully-loaded NPM repo with warm cache or warmed-up rvm installation directory are, but it isn't tiny.

Second, POSIX is a standard for how the operating system API works that has nothing to do with what packages are installed -- and it's a pretty low-level API, for doing stuff like read, write, fork, exec, etc. This isn't what's adding bloat.

> So now I wonder.. which is it?

Well, that's tricky. Most of the historical associations he makes are roughly correct as stated, but what is misleading is the implicit claim that underlines the whole piece -- that equivalent historical associations don't exist to each of those for heterosexuality, which they do -- romantic heterosexuality only became a cultural norm (rather than something portrayed as exceptional, often dangerous, and very frequently as a source of deviance from cultural norms relating to the family) in the Western world only fairly recently historically. The "massive reinvention" of (male) homosexuality that ESR refers to is real, but its part and parcel of a broader reinvention of sexuality in general from a very similar starting point and in a very similar direction.

Exactly.

Public keys are by definition public so they can be spread freely all over.

Forwarding will never compromise your private key. Of course, as you point out, if you forward THROUGH a compromised system, someone could hop on the key forwarding and come along for the ride. And, as another commenter pointed out, they could always hijack your access on the final system to create their own user accounts.

And also why a good SSH key manager like https://Userify.com to distribute your public key can make forwarding easier.
Great lecture!

Coincidentally, my team is building a product that connects startup founders to user interviewees, specified by demographic. Looking for a few founders to test the platform for free before we launch. Let us know if any of you are interested! team@munocreative.com
Re: "he had the original product vision for the company"

I thought Alexis et. al. originally started a company doing something else at the beginning of their application and acceptance to YCombinator, and Paul Graham had the idea for reddit and convinced them to do it instead of their original plan.

When Aaron Swartz was fired (edit: used to read quit) and the other founders of reddit tried to remove his founder status I remember being convinced by their arguments and being disappointed in Swartz.

When I later read the thing about it being Graham's idea it really changed my mind--the other founders' original idea was their own sort of Infogami (Swartz's original startup), and while they switched to developing reddit a little before Swartz, they ended up holding a much weaker exclusivity claim.

Agreed, Google does a ton of things extremely well but the world would be more or less the same with subpar search or subpar youtube from some other company. If they can realize the self driving car or get everyone wearing glass then they've changed the world.

Breach – A new modular Browser
Mike Pall, the writer of the LuaJIT interpreter/compiler, suggests that a good interpreter can get a large portion of the gains you'd get from a compiler. At one point the LuaJIT interpreter (not the regular Lua interpreter) was within about a factor 2 of the JIT. I think the JIT has since improved, but you can still get significant benefits from simply improving the interpreter. (I don't have a reference for this and can't look it up now, so maybe someone else can help me on this... I do, however, remember reading something by Mike Pall that said this. I think it was on Lambda The Ultimate.)

Of course, the best thing to do is to optimize the interpreter and then JIT compile the CPU intensive stuff.

My instinct is that people at MS are freaking out right now about Docker specifically. It's hard to say which decisions were "coaxed" into place with Bill Gates advising the new CEO, and which are attempts to strategically react to the negative mindshare of Azure against everything going Docker. First we have the "news" that MS is doing some mystery thing with Docker (which really must be a matter of semantics, because for an OS which didn't have symbolic links until 2008, I can't imagine it's possible to bring something like LXC to the Windows kernel), and now this news about Microsoft "open sourcing" a portion of their development tools, from the same company paying TV shows to awkwardly use the phrase "Bing it". If anything, it's just an interesting time to be alive.
> Before that user posted her LinkedIn profile, she was an anonymous figure in this dispute which, frankly, was all that was relevant to HN.

How was she anonymous when she was named in the article? Her LinkedIn profile is literally the first thing that comes up if you google her.
Yeah, you should obviously not actually ingest it.
> Later in life, Grothendieck asked for people to cease re-publishing his work, even brief excerpts.

I think Grothendeick used Mathematics as a way to rebel against/escape from the world he grew up in. It was a formal discipline that could provide concrete results, unlike the mundance political arguing and nonsense that he commonly saw elsewhere controlling the world. But, I bet as he grew older he noticed that even his very own mathematical work could be used in mundane academic political nonsense. Thus, a disenchantment with everything ensued leading to a total isolationist viewpoint.

Daly City is a world away from 520 3rd. There is nothing of any kind worth mentioning in Daly City. There is culture, entertainment, education, recreation, and all the benefits of real city life steps away from Reddit's current office. In addition the building at 520 3rd has a tradition of housing famous Internet companies.
There's a lot of language in this article that is sloppy at best. For example:

> The human brain routinely throws away many possible interpretations of the visual data it receives from the eyes. Given the brain’s limited resources and its need to interpret visual data quickly, it can’t afford to entertain every bizarre interpretation—it simply goes for the explanation that seems most likely, based on its past experiences and built-in visual processing machinery.

That makes it sound like determining the most likely interpretation is cheap, and doesn't constitute "entertaining" every interpretation.
There is a fundraising effort to fund the translation of Grothendieck's biography, written by Winfried Scharlau: http://www.gofundme.com/7ldiwo

I've read the 1st volume of the biography and fully recommend it, so if you find AG's life interesting, you can consider donating a few bucks.
Happened to find the pull request discussing the lxc-driver issue. It sounds like there was some interest in contributing upstream, but it didn't really go anywhere.

https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/5797

From the thread, it seems like the concern was just that lxc-exec wasn't well maintained and the lxc interfaces weren't stable since it was undergoing heavy development. I think that's changed recently with both lxc and docker now post 1.0 release and 'production-ready'.

Docker still uses LXC if you want it to via the lxc-exec driver and the --lxc-conf option. It's just not the default, which probably makes sense since the lxc options mainly apply for advanced users.

So by default, Docker uses libcontainer for a simpler installation experience. But for advanced users, using the lxc driver is an option to look into.

IMO, Docker wins if it continues to play nicely with the other open-source projects people use with Docker, and also give credit where due.

I agree entirely. There is no doubt that the FDA has become more and more rigorous over time.

"This was the sole reason for Yishan's resignation, as I know it."

Thanks for the response. I think the above quote is the salient point here though. Everything you said may be accurate, but without actually hearing Yishan's side, I don't think it is realistic to expect everyone to take this at face value, despite Sam and Reddit's reputations.

Even if Yishan were to make a statement, I think there would still be skepticism as to whether people were getting the full story, vs. the "I still hold equity, am seeking new employment, and don't want to agitate the situation" version.

Not sure on whether he still holds equity or how that works, but would you agree that it is reasonable for people to be skeptical given the circumstances and recent events? The more I think about it--I'm actually not sure what could be done to prove beyond a doubt what actually happened. This seems like a black eye for Reddit regardless, and I and many other Redditors have valid concerns about Reddit's future as a result.
Their fees aren't actually that low. In fact with their fee structure and inflation, you're likely to lose money in the long run, or at least underperform against the stock market. It seems like a great idea on the surface though.

Oldnavy and a few other retailers are not active yet. We've pre-built these integrations despite not having requests to sell their inventory just yet.

I'd mention more on the BD side but can't at this point for competitive reasons. The fact that we currently support sending orders through to 450 retailers does not mean we have deals in place with all of them, but that the infrastructure is built to allow this to happen -- if affiliates or publishers get an approval from retailers or the affiliate networks that govern this. Perhaps we should make this clearer on the supported stores page.

All in due time. The industry as a whole is being pushed to decide which models they will embrace -- and as always some will be slower to adapt than others. The pressure comes from lost revenue on mobile which makes retailers a LOT more flexible now compared to even 6 months ago when talking about this.

Considering multiple format screens and devices fragmenting retailers distribution channels over the next years this is set to become an even bigger chapter down the line.

I'll second the recommendation for http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/ , especially the "nuclear weapons faq" section, it's a great site though some of the material can be heavy going.

Thermonuclear bombs use a multi-stage design. A nuclear bomb (such as a fission bomb) can be thought of a bit like a light-bulb, only an extremely bright one that is so hot it shines mainly in the x-ray spectrum. A multi-stage thermonuclear bomb takes the light from a fission bomb and traps it inside of a "hohlraum" which is a fancy german word for a box or chamber that happens to be made out of very heavy metals (often depleted Uranium) that is reasonably opaque to the soft x-rays emitted by the nuclear explosion.

Of course, no mere metal container is going to contain the energy of a nuclear explosion for long, the inside surface layers of the hohlraum will absorb some fraction of the x-rays and be vaporized (this is called ablation). This ablation of surface material is so energetic it creates a thrust, like a rocket exhaust coming off the surface of the material it pushes the material away, blowing up the hohlraum like a balloon. The same forces play out on the other occupant of the hohlraum, a capsule containing fusion fuel (often lithium deuteride paste) with a shell made out of similar "high-z" x-ray opaque material. The ablation of the surface of the fusion fuel capsule creates incredible forces, powered as it is by the energy of a nuclear explosion. This causes the fusion fuel capsule to implode, creating conditions of extraordinarily high matter density, pressure, and temperature (due to adiabatic heating). At the center of the fusion fuel capsule there is a fission bomb core, a chunk of Plutonium or Uranium. Because of the speed and strength of the "radiation implosion" (though strictly speaking it's a radiation powered ablation implosion) the amount of fissile material can be small compared to a chemically powered implosion design (keeping in mind that critical mass goes down as density goes up). This "spark plug" then kicks off a super critical fission chain reaction which starts releasing energy that heats up the fusion fuel and kicks off a fusion chain reaction. The fusion reaction then releases a metric crap-ton of very high energy neutrons which facilitate fission reactions including fissioning of depleted Uranium (U-238) in the bomb components (such as the hohlraum, the tamper around the fission primary, the fusion fuel capsule casing, etc.)

In principle, much is the same. The main difference is that the explosive force to implode the main bomb (or the "secondary") comes from a nuclear explosion.

This is a huge compliment to GitHub, for Google to be moving one of its premier open source projects off of Google Code and onto GitHub.

More importantly, though, this is a significant compliment to the Go community, for Go to uproot itself and move to where the majority of its users are.
