It might be a starting point for blackmail, but if someone is doing something blackmailable then that's a separate problem. They're a liability and I'm sure far more effective means at finding such vulnerabilities are already being employed. They're going to need something more concrete than ride data to effectively blackmail someone, anyway. "Give us the launch codes or we'll release that you took an Uber to this address!" isn't going to cut it, I think.

StrataCloud - Atlanta, GA - Full-time, Local only.

Sales Engineers, Support Engineers, Content Marketing Manager, Developers.

tl;dr - http://www.stratacloud.com/careers/ - Doesn't actually list dev positions bc we're more desperate to fill other roles, but for HN, we're always hiring developers.

We're a team of ~20 working fast to bring a new product to market for Data Center Management. We have an existing product that brings in revenue and still has some legs, but our main focus is on a new platform that exists as a virtual appliance (Linux VM) and is composed of (mostly) Erlang and JavaScript... with some Java and Python thrown in there. We sell to the Enterprise (banks, hosting providers, anybody with lots of VMs) and have strong leadership with experience from security, Intelligence orgs, HP, and others; but we still feel like a small company and are a good place for anyone looking to do difficult work on big problems in an environment where results are the only thing that matters.

Funded, profitable, and moving quickly; this is the best job I've ever had, and we have a very exciting roadmap ahead of us. If you like independence, Linux, Virtualization, and working with smart people, let us know.

All the usuals, casual dress, beer Fridays, flexible hours, etc... we're not a "cushy" startup with ping-pong tables and company outings and all that. Ain't nobody got time for that... we're hustling way too hard, but as we grow I'm sure all that will change. Come here if you want to work really hard to get a product into the market, because there's lots of really hard work to be done around these parts.

> The plot of "Avatar" was depressingly cliche; a standard retelling of the standard action movie plot, done once again.

I liked when Avatar was described as "Pocahontas in Space". It's pretty interesting tooling around on TVTropes.org and seeing exactly how you can break down a movie into well-known and well-worn cliches.

It reminds me a bit of high school literature critique. It used to bother me quite a bit when we'd tease out these meanings from books since I couldn't believe that authors spent their time trying to come up with hidden metaphors on every page. It took a long time to change my perspective to recognize that these books were successful decades after they've been written because of those buried metaphors and tropes. All of the books that were facile and poorly written disappear into history, and whether the authors intended every single sunset to mean something unique, the books are worth studying because they connect in that way and for whatever reason, we connect with those meanings.

Warning for those who get sidetracked easily, TVTropes is a worse wormhole than wikipedia, but it's endlessly interesting to see what's behind successful media: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Avatar
An Introduction to Performance Testing in a Continuous Delivery Environment
From a business perspective, chipping into a Django kickstarter headed up by someone like Tom is an investment with an incredibly high chance to return something valuable.

In this case, Tom exceeded expectations with an excellent 3.0 release. We are going to save some developer time, improve the quality of our code, and be better equipped to handle whatever unexpected needs the future throws at us.

Ditto for Andrew's Django migrations project.

I hope we can all continue to show strong support for these projects, regardless of the ecosystem in question (Django, Rails, etc). We all come out ahead, as long as we make sure that the project leader has a good chance of delivering.
Docker has a new competitor
I had the same initial reaction, but I think there's good reason to trust the CoreOS folks to remain faithful to the project's goals. Containerization (although foundational) is one part of CoreOS's platform. It's easy to see where the boundaries fall, e.g. I expect systemd and fleetd to keep their respective functionality and not overlap with Rocket.

It become pretty clear once dotCloud became Docker Inc. that they intended to capitalize on the "Docker" brand to sell an integrated orchestration platform. CoreOS already has enterprise customers for their operating system and related components. They seem like the perfect team to take this challenge on.

The Tragic Password Mistake Hackers Are Hoping You'll Make
FWIW, part of the design difference is that rocket doesn't implement an API. When you do `rkt run` it is actually executing under that PID hierarchy; there is no rktd that forks the process.

This is a design goal so that you can launch a container under the control of your init system or other process management system.
You're absolutely correct - I often forget how much larger probabilistic numbers get. Sort of the difference between "large numbers" and "very large numbers"!

The embedded videos shows a scenic Innsbruck city airport in the alps: Innsbruck Airport is well known for having a difficult approach due to surrounding terrain, prohibiting certain aircraft types from operating at the airport.[3] The approach and descent is a very complicated process—the Alps create vicious winds and currents, which the pilot has to deal with throughout the process. Because there are mountains all around, the plane usually circles the airport, enters a pattern, to decrease both speed and altitude.

The unannounced exit is also known by the slang terms "ghosting", "Irish goodbye", and "French leave".

I'm not altogether certain that you could place it at a fixed position on the "appropriateness" axis. It would probably depend largely upon the number of people in the social environment, and as such, the one-on-one conversation experiment would be the least appropriate situation in which it could possibly be used.

The politician in your example used both a closing statement and an excuse to disengage, the two strategies with both high politeness and high efficiency. That shows a very high level of social intelligence.
Stop doing your coding in a framework. I know coding something big in JS is not ideal and thats why Google made Dart.
Agreed in principle. In this case it looks like a Gambit Scheme REPL.

Even more astounding. In retrospect, the word 'digits' is pretty unambiguous, and I shouldn't have gotten confused. But man, that is some hard-core numerical work. I'll need to bring the paper to the top of my dinner reading stack. The project just seems fascinating.
They raised $55 million [1], so you have to believe their ambitions are to extract as much rent from the container ecosystem as possible. That's not a bad thing, but it's behind a lot of their moves.

This is just alpha pricing, but yes, as the amount of content increases the price goes up. We have a few things up our sleeves to drive the price down for the community owner over time, but there are a number of features we need to add first and we're really just trying to find some small to mid sized opportunities to flesh these out. We'd do a massive site but we'd need to charge a good bit to do it at the moment. Ultimately we think that there is a lot of value for a site with millions of comments not having to worry about there community software. Most communities will be at the .99/month tier for a very long time.

The QR Code login idea is awesome:

"Many sites also allow users to log in by scanning a QR code in the site’s own app. In the QR code is an expiring session identifier that, once read by the mobile app, associates that browser session with the logged-in account."

Username and password logins suck for a number of reasons (although keyloggers are mentioned as the primary reason in the post), and as smartphones become ubiquitous this could allow a much easier and more secure workaround.
You're correct; I had misread that as 64 bit precision, which is vastly smaller. I'll need to be more careful reading the actual paper!
LXD is another competitor to Docker, as I understand it, so it will participate in the fight, for sure.
London UK - Osper - http://osper.com

We provide a real prepaid debit card for young people, aged 8 to 18, so they can make independent decisions with money: online, in shops, at cash machines, and abroad. Thousands of kids have already signed up to our service.

But we not only help young people buy Legos and save for bicycles - we are building an awesome technology team that eliminates legacy code, keeps the bug rate tiny, and stays small and joyful. We are doing this by adopting techniques like pair programming, test-driven development, continuous deployment, and microservices. You can read more about our plan to be awesome on our tech blog http://tech.osper.io.

We want to meet and work with smart technical folks of all varieties - from server-side devs to sysadmins, mobile coders to testers, security analysts to data crunchers.

We are willing to arrange relocation to London for the right candidates. Sorry, we're not ready to take on remote team members at this stage.
I prefer the Unix model - many programs that work together. That might not be practical for networking (a natural plug-in, probably), but feels like it should be the way for orchestration.

The Docker image registry and image management should really be a separate program as well - that is a huge pain point that Rocket seems more likely to get right.
So addictive! I wish there was a guide on how to play. Pretty straight forward though.
Ah, I guess I should have qualified my statement with "assuming the underlying crypto of truecrypt is secure, does sharing the ciphertext via bittorrent introduce any further side channel attacks outside of compromising the key exchange?"
Or the idea of abandoning Earth because it's too hostile to grow crops with some dust storms, yet the idea of colonising a distant, extremely harsh-for-human-life planet is a more realistic idea. Surely building massive "vertical farms" or other artificial environments here on Earth would be more cost effective and realistic.

Overall I think we may be thinking too deeply about the plot ;-)
Your prediction relies on a windows app store somehow making the web irrelevant which is amazingly unlikely and counter to every trend of the last 20 years. I suspect you have some emotional investment in the Microsoft ecosystem that is coloring your perspective.

My prediction is that your prediction is dead wrong. Nothing will stop the web, certainly not your app store dystopia, and certainly not the way Microsoft would run it.
Many people talk about kids who grow up to be serial killers, or bringing another child into an overcrowded world, but ignore the aggregate value of the tremendous joy people experience simply being alive. I think often, we in the first world cannot fathom how poor people can be happy. But the fact is that something as simple as sharing a meal with family is a source of joy for people the world over, and the magnitude of that joy is not proportional to whether you live in the West Village or in an actual village.

This is a bit metaphysical, but in my opinion there is a cosmic opportunity cost to not having kids--a lost opportunity for a human person to experience the joy of being alive.
Vim Tips to Make Yourself Faster
Yeah, the plots of Avatar and Pocahontas are so identical that you can literally take a synopsis and play Mad Libs substituting the character names and it describes both perfectly.

The ultimate laziness of avatar: The mineral they're after that is so hard to find that is the basis for the movie, what shall we call it? Ahem, unobtainium yeah that's a good name!

I laughed out loud in the movie theater when they revealed that.

At Airphrame, www.airphrame.com, Our goal is to deploy a fleet of fleet of flying robots, potentially 10,000’s across the world, that are constantly updating geophysical data (such as 3D point cloud sets) for mapping platforms, environmental & civil engineers, and other business who can utilize such data. We’ve been in business 3 years, have recently raised 5M serA, and have paying customers who love us. In the present, our data is invaluable to maintaining utilities infrastructure (dams, powerlines, highways, rail, etc). In the future, robots (for delivery, cars, etc) will depend on good mapping data to navigate the physical world - and we will be an essential part of that.

At the full-rated (as opposed to down-rated operational) output specification provided, that translates (for used to US units) to:

93,496 HP @ 84 RPM

5,845,726 lb-ft @ 84 RPM

The most mind boggling number for me is the torque figure. Almost six million lb-ft of torque. Power is an important figure when determining how much work you can do, but torque is important when engineering the components that will go in to your drive line. For example, transmissions typically specify a maximum torque input, as well as a maximum rotational speed. Independently, neither can be exceeded, regardless of power input. For example, the transmission in my car is good for about 450 lb ft and 9,000 RPM. I'd love to read over some of the engineering specs for the driveline components attached to this thing.
I am. The key is having a partner already in the market.
there is a update waiting for review should be out this week at the latest! That has a bunch of improvements.

Thanks for the feedback! Enjoy!

For fun, mention that OpenJDK has over a million lines of native code (C and C++: https://gist.github.com/shipilev/2fddb1d2943a4cbb6080 ). Looking at the numbers for the hotspot directory, more than 2/3 of the code in the JVM itself is native code. I realize that this is caused by bootstrapping issues. But if someone believes it is truly impossible to write safe and secure native code, ask how they can trust the JVM to correctly run their safe program, given that it has so much native code.

I know the old argument was that it was easier to audit the (small) amount of native code in the JVM than the code in your specific project. But half a million lines isn't small by any definition I'm aware of. It's larger than any native projects I've worked on.
I'm in the same boat and am curious, how is Dart and Polymer.dart? I watched a few videos from Google I/O, etc. and am really impressed with how much more sane Dart seems to make the frontend development world. Anyone gone down the path of Dart & Polymer.dart and had any major regrets?
Docker's MO is to become "that thing that is on all servers" so that when they flip the switch and start monetizing off support and tertiary services, people will be more-or-less locked in.

It has indeed surprised me how quickly a normally-slow-to-accept-new-things community has adopted Docker (even well before it was considered "stable").
