He also mentions the elastic beanstalk support for Docker from April. It's quite obvious that everyone has been working on Docker support for a while now anyway.
For this niche, I use vcsh:

I've been using git for years at this point, so I'm glad to leverage my existing skill. It also ties into my existing setup for SSH, so that I can push and pull changes from a central server. I like this because I regularly work on two different desktops, a laptop, and a few other machines.
The Economic Graph will include

- a profile for every one of the 3 billion members of the global workforce

- a profile for every company in the world, who you know at those companies up to three degrees, the products and services those companies offer

- every economic opportunity offered by those companies, full-time, temporary and volunteer, and every skill [they require].

- a digital presence for every higher education organization in the world

... and LinkedIn will own all of it, thanking you for your edits and contributions by selling your data back to you and anyone else who wants it.

This whole idea makes me want to sacrifice wikipedia at the alter of Stallman for protection.
If you read the email by ESR [1] explaining the rationale, I really think that he is right. It's not that bzr isn't good enough to keep on going, it's about the image exposed by Emacs as a project that still uses bzr.

And he does have a point. I for one do not look kindly on projects that still use Google Code or SourceForge for hosting or other version control systems other than Git or at least Mercurial. And this is because I look out for projects that aren't well maintained - after all, the noise amongst open-source stuff is incredible and I take notice of things such as when the last release or last commit was, current issues, mailing list activity and yes, the tools used.

That said, it's a pity that Emacs isn't being hosted on GitHub or BitBucket, because if these services are good at something, that's quick browsing of recent activity, plus they provide pull requests.

Like Pop Rocks, yes.
It's an odd comment given the fact that HN has never really tried to grow. There's a certain audience for HN, and it seems to be understood that growth for growth's sake can sometimes put that at risk. (anybody remember back when PG would ask everybody to post really obscure stuff for a few days when HN was seeing an influx?)
Family members are a part of the support network that people have. This includes emotional support, as well as more tangible support such as financial or residential, as well as informational support (family members teaching each other about society and life) and social support (for instance family members refering each other to friends or professionals (lawyers, doctors, carpenters, etc)).

When somebodies family member is killed, their support network is reduced. Financial compensation can help to offset the damage done to their support network. It's not just about making people feel better.
Alexis is stepping in as Executive Chairman not C-level, I don't think that would require him to move to SF, just take regular trips there.
As far as I know this isn't the case (used to work across from them)
Just an FYI, nobody seems to pick up on this. But in 08 when the market crashed. Mr.Buffet had large stakes in BAC and WFC. Mr. Buffet says that he always studies his purchases so forth and so on. Well in the summer of 08, it wasn't difficult to see the banks where in trouble. (I figured it out, and made $$)

However, Mr. Buffett didn't, even know he always says that he does due diligence. Had the banks not been bailed out by the US GOV in Oct 08, (TARP, low interest rates) we would be having a different conversation about Uncle Warren right now, because his stakes in WFC & BAC would be zero.

Josh Brown is a clickbait / SEO / yahoo groups shill for the market. I don't believe this type of article is of interest to Hacker News. If I want this crap, then I can just click over to cnbc or business insider?
Recently watched the video of Ben Horowitz in How to Start a Startup class where he talked about How as CEO it is very important that you should take the perspective of Employees too. Got to know from recent article in NYTimes that Mr. Wong made mistakes twice : first by requesting company's global employees to move to SF and then replying aggressively on fired ex employee's post to justify the reasons.

Mr. Horowitz's lecture now made so much sense to me.
Fluids are not so fluid - if encountered suddenly at high enough speed.

There are a number of questionable claims in this article--that the DeLorean invented turn signals and the overhead camshaft, for example.
I'm excited for this. This replaces what I wanted to use SQS for.
SQS always felt like too much vendor lock-in to me to justify not using something like RabbitMQ or Beanstalkd.

With Lambda, the resource consuming the queue is managed for me - that is huge. Also, the pay by time model is perfect for this - instead of managing when to stop/start resource intensive instances, I don't even have to think about the problem. I only get charged what I used, which can be crucial during growth stages of a business or prototype.

The big penalty is the vendor lock-in, but this tips the scales for me for certain things.
Eric also lent considerable aid and the use of his reposurgeon tool to doing the actual migration. Despite his storied rivalry with Stallman, the two actually worked together over the past 10 months to get this shit done.
Here is a source that gives tax revenue as a percent of GDP. This includes all forms of tax. Given that the very wealthy increase their wealth primarily through capital gains and not through income and the capital gains tax is quite low it appears reasonable to conclude that the very wealthy are not overtaxed. This isn't exactly how I phrased my statement so I should revise it. I'll revise thusly, taxes in the United States are not high in comparison to historical standards and are certainly not high in comparison to wealthy countries.

Also, let me point out that advertising on reddit is a royal pain in the ass. They have all kinds of broken processes and weird quirks that have not been fixed since we started trying to advertise there in 2011.

We recently went back to try some new campaigns there and none of it was fixed.

I'm sure if you're doing big media buys (ie., you're microsoft) they will just do it all for you, but from the standpoint of the self-serve advertising, it's really, really broken and difficult.
Yep, the "digg exodus" is almost mythical in reddit-history.
regarding 2), sounds interesting. Got any more information on that?

Surely, if you are objective and just present facts, this can be discussed here? What multi-million dollar scams are going on on reddit?

Most of his income is probably from capital gains, which is only taxed at 15%. I think it's valid to point out very few individuals are paying a lot of the federal taxes.
1. Food production IS more than enough. Logistics and storage is not there.

2. Growth of population declines as countries get more developed, while the food availibility increases. That was true in Europe, USA, Japan, China.

I don't see a reason why this shouldn't work the same for remaining undeveloped countries.

So I don't think your ecological principle works on human.
Funny, but if you think about it... if I had followed that exact principle for my entire life and never picked up $100 bills I saw lying on the street, I think I would be exactly as wealthy as I am now. Even if I never picked up street money at all, it would be pretty close. And I expect I have walked in plenty of places where money has been dropped, but the vast majority of the time, it has been picked up before I can get there.

Add in the possibility of dropped money being booby-trapped, and I figure never picking up street money would be a very sensible habit.
Could be. But imo, anything the FBI touched would be suspect.
I see the ability to change local history as a huge benefit. Not only can I track changes but before I publish them I can make decisions about how to make them more presentable/understandable to other developers.
I am in the exact same boat brother. Weigh your situation based on positives and negatives. What will you gain by waiting on the perfect opportunity? What will you lose if you choose the current position offered?
I'm not sure about SSH. You might be correct. I've gotten my setup to work w/o SSH. Although I've mostly just been using the GitHub Windows client lately. :-\
He was being honest and I actually respect him more for putting a former employee that obviously was trying to get sympathy from the Reddit community, in his place.
Should offer the option to upload your own books.
Docker plugins ftw!

The Docker plugin proposal mentioned in the post:

https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/8968
This is 100% not true. Yishan wanted the team to move to the same location and the board supported him. This was a question of office location, not centralizing.
I'm guilty of abhorring UI changes. Very rarely do I see them as justified. I largely prefer incremental UI changes rather than grand overhauls. The latter seems to be a minimal increase in functionality and a maximal increase in glitz.

I think Reddit has been taking the incremental approach, especially when it comes to rolling functionality into the main engine from all the (now less useful) browser plugins.

That said, there's still a question that remains. Is the UI a mess? Maybe? Yes? I'm not sure. I'm so familiar with it at this point that I can't tell what's wrong with it. Most of the operations I care about are readily available. What, in particular, could use improvement?
> this maybe completely bogus, be aware

Well, much over 20g is not very survivable, so I'd say you're in the ballpark at least.
Can this match Digital Ocean's pricing? At $5/month it's hard to beat.
I was also interested in the fast that they weren't in pressure suits. Apparently the ingress/egress hatch is so small as to preclude them wearing basic safety equipment. I'm becoming less and less sympathetic to Virgin Galactic the more I hear.
Having a PR drone respond on Reddit would be like throwing yourself into a river full of piranhas. The response was appropriate based on the culture of the community (i.e. "no bullshit").
Maybe I'm missing the context here, but Reddit is in San Francisco. They're in the same SoMa office building Wired is in.
Has the keynote been made public anywhere yet?
> They found that for every billion dollars spent on research and development since 1950, the number of new drugs approved has fallen by half roughly every nine years, meaning a total decline by a factor of 80. They called this Eroom’s Law, because it resembled an inversion of Moore’s Law

It's not an inversion of Moore's law, it's totally consistent with it. Every time you shrink transistor size by half, you spend exponentially more capital on the new fabs: http://www.futrfab.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Small-Volu... (Figure 2).
Yishan, I'd like to buy you a beer.
Someone else (perhaps the EFF) made the point that the TLD's whole value is derived from how it points to Iran's IP addresses instead of anywhere else. Does this comparison make more sense? TLDs as a combination of a street address and the name of the business at the address; if either one is out of sync (e.g. the store moved), then the combination is worthless.
Then raise some money for Maine and quit telling other people what to do with their money. If the United States requires a few benevolent rich people to give money to keep the public system working then something is seriously wrong. Everyone here pays fewer taxes than their European counterparts, for example. Raise taxes in Maine.
I would recommend "Purely Functional Data Structures" by Chris Okasaki. It's not only for functional programmers - there is also a bunch of structures useful in imperative languages.
There were a few Bitcoin/dogecoin scams, unsurprisingly.

Two incidents I remember are a) /r/hearthstone, where a moderator who owned a fansite killed links to other fansites and b) a moderator of /r/tumblrinaction posted a link to a MLM on the top bar.
Also check out monument valley, they just released an expansion too if you've already played it.
That's a bit dicey - the kind of thing that may work delightfully well and be justified and appropriate in maybe like 1% of cases, and be excessive and likely to backfire horribly in the other 99%. But then, there's the issue of having to be like that pretty much all the time for it to be really believable and effective. Use at your own risk.
First, there was considerably less access to information in 1984 than now, so the market almost certainly was less efficient. Second, thanks to Fama and French, we now know that there is indeed a value premium. However, the majority view is that it is a risk premium: still useful because it exposes one to different risk than pure market beta, but not a free lunch. (Also it is most likely more efficient to capture the premium using low-cost "tilted" (value) funds, rather than by picking individual stocks and unnecessarily taking on unsystematic risk.)
Which is funny, considering most on Reddit are all about being progressive..
> It could be that they target specific individuals of the Turkish government instead of storing and analyzing everything that goes in and out of Turkey.

Maybe. But how do they do that? Do they individually hack into routers only when and where needed to keep up with their targets? What do they do when the packets used by their targets hop to a different router? What do they do when their target uses a mobile over 4G instead of their PC and Ethernet? What do they do when the data packets emitted by the target's mobile are transferred as a batch with a bunch of people not relevant to the intelligence need?

Maybe they do filter first and only store information relevant to their specific targeted intelligence needs. If NSA limited themselves to that, would your concerns go away?

> As for the question of Turkey being a valid target, let me remind you that several people in the Turkish government were planning a false flag operation in order to invade Syria.

You're preaching to the choir here. But let me remind you, that on Sept. 11, 2001, several people in the al Qa'ida organization actually carried out a real operation that resulted in ~3,000 deaths directly (not all American either), the destruction of a significant amount of property, and the launch of the "global war on terror" and invasion of Afghanistan. Even more, it set the conditions politically in the U.S. for the later invasion of Iraq. Truly, the consequences were quite epochal.

Yet many opponents of NSA surveillance will tell you quite bluntly that even counter-terrorism is not an important enough concern to make surveillance on the Internet worth the cost to civil liberties. They'll even tell you that more people die of car accidents every year than died in 9/11. What would you say to them? Why is it OK to target Turkey to detect covert false flag attacks but not OK to target transnational terrorist organizations that are actually killing people every single day, and plotting further attacks?
The last time I hit anyone without provocation I was 9 years old, I got such a thrashing from my dad that my grandchildren will remember the lesson, trust me.

That said, some people can only think in terms of who can kick who's ass - for them might IS right. The stupid ones become muggers and extortionists, the smart ones get a system (legal, corporate, etc) to fight their battles for them.

I see no moral problem with presenting them with a simplified model of their worldview, it's their choice, I am just showing that I am willing to make it manifest.

Like I said, take with a grain of salt.

Cut the company some slack. Space flight is hard. There are physical constraints imposed by the laws of Nature that have to be carefully weighed. It is easy to forget this fact when all you ever do is software design or whatever.
EU privacy laws are already stronger than in the US. All Google needs to do is to actually abide by them, but being based in the US, evidently they can't. The fact that they have to try to change US government policy in order to extend privacy to their international users is a pretty sad state of affairs and a warning to potential international clients.

Except 5, other countries don't have a permanent say in the system. The 5 can veto any resolution. The sad reality is that UN has been successful on various issues (while still failing on very many) despite being an utterly undemocratic establishment and that is constantly being used as an excuse to continue with the current system.

The context is an account of an incident in a NASA vacuum testing chamber where a tester's suit lost pressure, not of the crash.

I'm quite certain both experiences on the whole would be terrifying, but as the detail of the saliva boiling on the tongue was singled out to be terrifying on its own, that is what I based my comment on.

In my imagining of what it would feel like to have your saliva boil yet not be under a great amount of heat, I can only imagine it would feel like a mouth full of pop rocks. I don't find that terrifying.
Yes, the context is that it used to be a somewhat remote team and when the latest round of funding was raised everyone outside of SF was essentially forced to move to San Francisco.
On that note, have you noticed how few Level 4s there are?
Thanks. I wish I'd remembered that from when I read the article yesterday as in many ways it even over-emphasizes the point I was making.
Reddit is a company with a huge user base and any investor willing to do his job (in spite of the moral or social implications) is going to want to squeeze that teat for every drop of ARPU he can get.

Because where else are the users going to go? Digg? Slashdot? 4chan?
"It’s interesting to note that during my very brief tenure, reddit added more users than Hacker News has in total." Zing! =P
Disney is a classic example of a company that made huge leaps and transformed itself from a single revenue stream to a very diverse one.

Can you think of what the board of Disney said to Walt when he decided to open a brick and mortar theme park when their only product to date had been a few animated films? Or how what they said when he unveiled the original vision of EPCOT as a real city with a theme park bolted on.

I don't have a strong opinion in Google doing their moonshots but it's happened before.

This is the kind of mentality more companies need. It is why craigslist is still running a site that looks like it is from 1999. The opposite thinking is why digg when down in flames.

Definitely. I've got a centos 6.5 VM that is a master svn server for a multinational with a 22Gb repo and 190 users and does front end http and ssl for 45 requests/second (average with peaks of 200/sec) and it barely touches the CPU (single 3.2 GHz xeon e5 core) and has only 1Gb of RAM.

There is something missing then. Does this $19 device do anything useful on it's own? Or do you have to buy one of the up sells e.g. the sprinkler system for $199 to get it do do anything useful?
Maybe Wong wanted to move HQ to the Valley proper, rather than SF itself?

Almost all corporate HQ relocations move closer to the CEO's home.

But also, there's a (plausibly-fair) knock on SF-city-based companies as being more superficial, frothier, and more prone to distraction and high-burn rates than those in the more-authentically-nerdy Valley.

Maybe someone can leak where Wong wanted the new HQ to be.

You forgot to quote the part where I said "I won't comment on whether it's good or bad".

Canonical doesn't need to justify itself to me, no more than the Docker maintainers need to justify themselves to you. It's just how open-source works: you weigh the pros and cons of re-using vs re-implementing, make a decision, and see if the community follows you. In the case of Docker, the community followed. In the case of lxd, I guess we'll see. Either way, more choice and competition means the user wins.
