How to Make Anybody Read Anything
Heh, this reminds me of my time at Avici Systems: they made a 3d toroidal mesh-based "Terabit Switch Router" using wormhole routing with virtual channels to avoid head of line blocking (Bill Dally was associated with the company..). The company went public and provided the core routers for AT&T for a number of years. (Superseded by Cisco's HFR (Huge F*ing Router..).

The questions involved how much can you get away with (before deadlock) if you don't have enough virtual channels. Also is it ever worth extra buffering outside of the VCs. Also, how to get more bandwidth if one VC does not provide enough. The TSR used source routing (a list of turns on the head flit I think..), so how do you compute the routing list for arbitrarily incomplete meshes?

It's interesting that Feynman was involved in this field of interconnection networks, although for actual papers I do find his son's writing on the CM-5.
Android 5.0 Lollipop vs. KitKat vs. iOS8
Based on the market data we have access to [1] and the other startups we talk with our salaries are in the average range.

This area is kind of hurting for mobile talent, but the funding landscape isn't good enough to allow for startups to push SV level salaries unfortunately.

Very interesting, and I would definitely see a use. Just a few comments:

- How does this fit into the PCI picture, only thing I have seen on the site is a 2 line faq entry. Not enough to help on scoping or identifying requirements that would apply.

- How secure is it, and how are security notifications done? Keeping the software secure and up to date should be considered as critical. I would add a section on the site pertaining to security and addressing vulnerabilities. I did not see on the site information about security updates/patches. They might be on GitHub but it is way to deep to be useful to most people.

This kind of software is a perfect example of a high-value target for intrusion, I am a bit worried for the security of the information it contains, especially for smaller startups with limited resources, as well as zombie installations that can be forgotten in a corner with personal information or cards information inside.

Not saying it's a bad idea BTW, just a few concerns as a security analyst.

An interesting counterpoint to this which is less radical but still potentially quite controversial is Kwame Anthony Appiah's view in his book Cosmopolitanism (which I'm reading right now): it's important that cultures get contaminated (by other cultures), and it's important that cultures change.

Edit: here's a version of his argument from that book which he published in the New York Times in 2006.

HIV May Evolve to Cause AIDS Less Frequently, Researchers Find
Turning Customers into Cultists
> Hi, I created Docker. I have exactly 3 things to say:

In line of making lists of things to say. I got 2.

1) Don't use Twitter for having long conversations and public fights. Just don't. No good will come out of it. Engaging in that is feeding the trolls and slinging mud, which you accuse the other party of doing.

2) Vis-a-vis "just compete!". How do you see this "competing" happening without an announcement like this. "We have created X container thingy"? Ok, isn't it smart to compare to an existing container "thingy" right of the bat?

Imagine they didn't mention Docker. I can see you writing about "stealing of ideas", "lies", "not being straight-forward", "this is just a Docker clone by they don't mention Docker so they are being shady" and so on.
My best guess is to properly align instructions along a certain boundary, but I'm pulling that out of my hat.

You can put bcopy as a function call right before memmove, and then you don't need one function to call the other, which would cause a stack push. Maybe instructions need to be at addresses = 0 mod 16, so that's the "closest" you can get it. And spinning over ~12 NOPs might be faster than incrementing the PC by ~9.
Not to mention that I'm more likely to use Firefox than to sign up for a Facebook or Skype account. I think one browser (and potentially others) building on a feature is better than requiring someone to sign up for an account on a site/service that they otherwise may not want.

Either way, that's just my preference. Facebook and Google and Microsoft are perfectly welcome to build their video chat services on their respective networks and I think that Firefox is also welcome to try to build that functionality into their browser. As long as you can disable it if it causes issues (or better yet, need to enable it with a button making it opt-in rather than opt-out) I'll be glad to check it out and see if it's useful.

I remember using AIM and ICQ and other IM programs until Google built chat into the Gmail web interface. Starting that day I moved away from one service and started using another despite the fact that I hadn't really considered the option before.

If Firefox's implementation sucks or isn't enough to get people to adopt it (a la Google+ in the minds of most potential users) then nothing will change. If it turns out to be useful and well made then maybe people will find something superior to their current chat platform.

That said, I don't think their main roadblock will be resistance to using a particular browser. It will be from people in the general userbase wanting a chat platform that works on mobile as well as in the browser or on the desktop. I use GTalk/Hangouts specifically because it's the same across my home computers, my work computer, my Nexus 5, and my iPad. I know plenty of people who use Facebook or Skype for the same reasons.
"Even going to the tape, though, is not always enough. The mother of the guy in the Santa suit maintained that the police should’ve taken her son, who eventually passed out, back to his room, not to jail. Recounting the story, Mr. Williamson looks momentarily exasperated. He tried to explain, he says, that her son was safer sleeping off his drunkenness under supervision."

It seems the LEOs cannot win when dealing with a mother who 'knows best'
Forget the interpersonal back-and-forth. My suspicion is that this is due largely because CoreOS (the company) does not their product completely dependent on another for-profit company's platform (Docker). It's just smart business.
Might be worth mentioning that you are employed by Docker, if you're going to engage in this discussion.

Microsoft Is Getting Rid of Clip Art
It's always a bummer when someone offers a counterexample to his own point. Here we see:
>> I recently wrote an essay: What India can Teach to the World and it basically explains how certain elements from the indian culture could improove any individual in the world.

While he holds up 3 other cultures as being closest to optimum without explanation, he also suggests that they could benefit from elements of another. This naturally leads to a more evolutionary way where differentiation allows exploration of many elements which can then be adopted by others once they're identified as "good" whatever that means.
Simple Project Planning for Sysadmins
Sure, but the point is that to achieve this standard, a lot of blood was shed and a lot of countries were exploited.

Enforcing a uniform culture would almost certainly involve some use of force because people hold their cultural identities very dear to themselves (rightfull so IMO). Robbing them of this identity and enforcing a external one would not go down well at all.

Even today, most people who are speak English that were not born in a English speaking country speak another language. So it isn't the case that English has supplanted native languages, but rather has supplemented them. This, despite years of colonial domination.
One counter is that the current (relative) global stability benefits from a pax americana. A related argument is that the Soviet Union collapsed (at least as early as it did) due to its attempt to keep up with American spending on science, technology, and military. But...

A better point is that it's inconsistent to state this:

> how would you pick one culture to standardize upon?

...and then criticize America for not conforming to a standard about the proper level of military and economic power.

Good point, we'll update the docs.

Regarding PCI, it's up to you. You can run it inside your PCI environment or delegate it to your payment provider (via CC tokenization).
Because FTTP involves massive upfront costs with no hope of 10x or 100x returns. Say you sell fiber at $70/month. The operating profit margin of a company like Charter, which doesn't have a media-arm to rely on, is like 10-15%. So per year, each subscriber is worth $80-126. Over 10 years, discounted, that's under a grand. And to wire them up, you have to spend about that much if not more, up-front.
Couple of strategies to consider:

If the CEO is suggesting vesting for this equity position ask for highly accelerated vesting schedule

Negotiate for protection against dilution if additional rounds of investment are needed. In the end, 8% undiluted might be better than 15% post dilution.

Another strategy that occurred to me is to take the CEO's offer and discipline yourself to take the $25K difference in cash and invest it in small cap stocks. Obviously it won't actually be $25K after taxes but you get the idea. This strategy enables you to diversify your risks. Of course if this start-up is the big hit you are hoping for the return from small cap stocks will pale in comparison to the returns from start-up equity.

Finally, you could ask for something in the middle - how about 10% / 115K

If it is more about the respect and co-founder status than the money itself ... ask yourself what other things communicate co-founder to you?
For a long time, the doctrine in the U.S. has been the ability to sustain simultaneous nonnuclear war in two separate theaters plus nuclear second-strike capability sufficient to create a MAD deterrent.

I understood it to be a bit more specific than this: sustain conventional war against our two strongest non-allies.

In any case, it's also my understanding that we've been maintaining a level far higher than what would be required for this.
Man, I can only say "thank you" for sharing your story. Very touchy. I hope you will recover soon.

Cultural homogeneity is anti-Bayesian.

According to the Gospel of Bayes, evidence can only be used to update pre-existing beliefs. If we consider any individual issue, no matter what beliefs we start with, sufficient evidence will move all of us toward a similar endpoint. So for example as infants we likely start with some pretty weird hypothetical ideas, and by a roughly Bayesian process move toward common notions like object permanence.

Since it is provable that Bayesian updating is the only way of knowing that is consistent, there is no magic short-cut to optimal answers, which means that a population with diverse starting points is in general going to have a few members that reach optimality fairly promptly while the rest of us are still flailing around.

If we view cultures as systems for solving problems, this implies that cultural diversity will tend to get us to better solutions to those problems sooner than homogeneity. Nor will the same culture always be the fastest to currently optimal solution: the recent upsurge in interest in Buddhist psychology is an example of a culture that achieved a pretty good understanding of the mind quite a long time ago.

By giving us a framework in which to understand the value of cultural diversity--including linguistic diversity--while at the same time placing the universality of Bayes' Rule at the centre of the knowing subject's experience, Bayesianism allows us to resolve the tension in Enlightenment humanism between a) valuing the unique and diverse forms of human expression, culture, language, etc and b) insisting there are universal principles that unite all humanity.

I tried to find some info on this then realized I wasn't sure what GP meant by "glial cell efficiency."
I did find a claim that "the human brain has about 90%; and the elephant brain consists of some 97% glia." [1]

Is the percentage of glial cells what you mean by "glial cell efficiency"?

2013 JavaScript Developer Survey [pdf]
Sweet. As long as I get my cut. :-P

I have a hard time seeing what friction is added, though, with proper thought. If you don't require email validation but use it as a unique login identifier, then a malicious body could DOS all future users via bulk signups. DDOS required if you use rate limiting on signups. Slightly different application of the attack but still a denial of service.

Even a non-hacker could block another user from signing up by simply creating an account with someone else's email address.

If you don't use it as a unique login identifier, there's no problem at all. New users use their username to login.
> This isn't a debate and I've no interest in your lack of research and bad arguments.

This is a common tactic used by individuals with no evidence to support their claim. Rather than substantiate your claim that "bitcoin users donate more to causes" or provide numbers to explain your subjective assertion that bitcoin is a "widely used currency", you shift the onus on me to provide evidence for statements made by yourself. Its your responsibility to support your own claims, not mine.

> Mozilla says they accept Bitcoin and has A page for it. But beyond this single story, people are never going to see it.

...

> people are never going to see it.

Don't you understand that nobody cares about that except bitcoin evangelists. The bitcoin donation page is functioning as intended, anybody who cares about supporting the Mozilla foundation has the option to donate funds using fiat or bitcoin. If your only complaint is related to the visibility of the bitcoin donation option, then it's pretty obvious to everyone that all you're really after is publicity for bitcoin.

> If you want to rant about Bitcoin and act like you're on some sort of higher ground because you don't care about what currencies are accepted

What's with the persecution complex? "Not caring which currencies are accepted" doesn't mean I feel like I'm on "higher ground", it literally means what the sentence says: I don't care, and nobody else does except people who have a bitcoin promotion agenda.
Well, you'd expect that from any such facility whether it's involved in spying or not.

Yeah, looks like it's for function alignment padding. It's a pretty common thing at the end of functions to have the next function start on a specific boundary. (even if the first function doesn't fall into the other)

I haven't tested, but I'd bet good money that 12 NOPs would be faster than a jmp.
According to http://www.arbornetworks.com/attack-ddos:

"DDoS attacks...will generally fall into one of three broad categories:

Volumetric Attacks: Attempt to consume the bandwidth either within the target network/service, or between the target network/service and the rest of the Internet. These attacks are simply about causing congestion."
thank you very much. I will take a look. but the fact that this is tied to Gnome worries me. I actually need a console application with gpu access.
