Ozge, co-founder of topLog (toplog.io) here. Perhaps my opinion is slightly biased but here is what we have learnt for the last couple of years.

- ELK is great (in fact, we use E+L under the hood) however you really need to know what you're doing with it and you need to spend some time configuring things while putting it together. Do you have that kind of time? Maybe, maybe not...

- Every available tool lets you search and create alerts for monitoring. So, the analysis is always on you. This still takes a lot of manual search time during troubleshooting.

- What if pattern and behaviour detection on your logs can be done automatically? Well, it can be. And that saves you some good amount of time instead of you creating regexs and following the trails to find the root-cause.

I would love to hear your thoughts on automated analysis and anomaly detection on logs. If you're giving a keyword and a specific time frame to search for anomalies, is it real anomaly detection? or a just an improved search?
That sounds intriguing as well, but I can't seem to wrap my mind around the kind of knowledge needed to "venusform" a human. I have to say that the idea of sending a swarm of robots and setting up a bunch of chemical reactions seems less daunting (due to my lack of imagination, I presume).
Go away or I will replace you with a small sparse autoencoder.

Is it safe to assume that some meteor impact in the distant past must have had a taller wave, something measured in kilometres?
From a couple of sources it looks like their revenue forecasts for the PC market were too low:

I'm curious who the target of this was; was this aimed at the banks who they got the $250k loan from that Markkula signed for?
It's possible they gave him some medication that nobody knew he was allergic to and by time they caught it it was too late. It's also possible that someone fucked up and didn't read his chart before a procedure. Or it might be something completely different. I don't know if this'll help the fear, but this is one of those crazy random ways you can die and there's not a whole lot (aside from having an up to date and complete chart) that you can do about it. The only thing being afraid of it does is lower your quality of life.
Github's One Thing is source code hosting. Everything else either supports that (e.g. pull requests) or is complimentary (e.g. issues).
Maybe not under any conditions but the conditions are not met, maybe never will be. Simply because you were born, doesn't mean you are entitled to anything. Is a lion entitled to anything when it is born? Yes, we humans strive to be better than lions. This doesn't mean we've achieved that yet.
I think individuals who are living paycheck to paycheck as Uber contractors probably aren't able to respond to the possibility that their job will be replaced by automation. Very few people are able to prepare for that kind of thing, actually, even if the warning is in the foreseeable future.

If they quit, what should they do to pay the bills in the mean time?
Yeah, blush in embarrassment at how blatant, transparent and ineffective it was. It was very unsubtle - and shocking to us now because of that.

But they still thought that things were best sold by convincing people that their product was the best. And many though that actually being the best was a cost efficient way to convince people of that.

Pretty childish by todays standards.
It is also playing with semantics to exclude DSL from the definition of broadband. 99% of people served by Comcast are also going to have a telco that can provide an admittedly slower, but still broadband, connection via DSL.
Isn't the issue licence fees because your PC wouldn't be an "authorized device"?

I appreciate your enthusiasm! Sorry you're getting downvoted, Hacker News is a pretty tough community to crack. The secret is to always add value to any conversation by introducing some relevant perspective or piece of information.
Given the sloppy way most instances of "Apple" were removed -- ultimately concealing nothing -- it looks like a lame attempt to make the documents appear to be genuine leaks. Which makes me consider whether they're actually fake.
QE isn't "money printing for big companies and Governments" and stock buybacks are just another way to return capital to shareholders.

How is it that so many articles devolve into the criticism of banks? Why do people bother commenting on subjects they know little about (and in this case are only tangentially related to the article)?
Not disagreeing with the basic idea, but there's also latency and peak throughput.
> Every cable company in every city I've lived in the USA has been a locally granted monopoly with the city extracting massive amounts of money from the monthly cable bill in "Franchise" fees.

In no city is the cable company actually a "locally granted monopoly." Every franchise agreement I've seen points out that it's non-exclusive.

Technologists have a fundamental misconception that leads to a lot of cognitive dissonance and confused reasoning: that building wireline infrastructure is a lucrative business that companies can't wait to get into, and would were it not for "regulatory capture" and legal roadblocks. But it's not. It's a business with large up-front costs, expensive maintenance costs, expensive unionized workforces, etc.

> Every wireless carrier is a monopoly-- because they all have monopoly powers over bands of spectrum the federal government sold to them

You're punning on the word "monopoly." Anyone who owns property has a "monopoly" over it. But that does not make them a monopoly. In most cities, you have 3-4 options for wireless service.

> Another utility that is highly regulated, engages in rent seeking and is, a monopoly over its area.

Most electric utilities are monopolies, because it's illegal to deploy competing electrical service.
This is not at all a surprise, and I fully expect Amazon to also ultimately enter this space. (I have no insider knowledge of either company.) It's amazing to me how many people think that Uber is somehow building a deep moat when these other companies (Google, Amazon, etc.) have a much deeper connection with their customers -- to say nothing of the data that have collected. Given perfect rider competition and (especially) perfect driver competition, how does the advantage not lie with the established company and brand? Given Uber's nose-bleed valuation, I suspect that they may become the Webvan-esque poster child of this bubble: visionary, but ultimately a ludicrous valuation and absurd misallocation of capital that was obvious to all only in retrospect.
Right, the advocates for increased taxation don't want to pay more themselves-- they could do that now-- they want the other guy to pay more.

How they think this won't make them poorer as well shows they aren't really thinking it thru.
ikr. We are the United States why even try?
Or you can go even further, use something like buildroot (http://buildroot.net/) to build your kernel and rootfs, and even tweak the kernel configuration if you like. I recently did an RPi project where the kernel and rootfs together were about 5 MB compressed.
Interesting, doesn't work in Chrome or Firefox for me. In Firefox you can't select anything. In Chrome you can select all, but nothing gets copied over; also the formatting of some boxes is fucked up.

>even has his own cable modem running Linux, you have the crybaby type who complains her internet is too slow and pleads for us to come fix her computer, then you have the old people who don't know how to turn on a computer.

I've dealt extensivley with at least 7 ISPs in the US, and not a single one would even consider helping even a business customer troubleshoot their own equipment.

If you are supporting peoples privately owned equipment you are going WAY above and beyond what any service provider i have dealt with in the US is willing to do.
I like to listen to my thoughts sometimes. I'm used to watching them flow with neutrality.

I play the piano for meditation.

A barrier can often come from asking the question "am I doing it right?"

Sometimes existing out of the moment is just as important as existing in it.
> My fear is that teachers will now choose for Windows on the RPi, since that is what they know. And we are back to where we started: a fundamentally unhackable system.

I think that is extremely unlikely to happen.
On the one hand, this is great. Competition and I couldn't wish Google's infinite pockets on a more terrible group of people.

On the other hand, Google has only been successful with search and advertising and are known for terrible customer service. I mean, who are you going to call when your driver rapes you? You'll never be able to talk to a human.
The hardware to scanout from memory to HDMI is different from scanning HDMI into memory and GPUs just didn't bother to implement the latter. There are cheap HDMI PCIe cards that are basically just a DMA engine.
I must admit that my knowledge of llvm is very limited. I did make the (perhaps wrong) assumption that it would be easier to understand on that basis alone (well, and the fact that the people writing it know how to code C++ properly, I guess for major projects like Gcc and llvm you may expect well engineered code). I felt that the whole macro business isn't as solid nowadays as what templates could allow in terms of type checking (and perhaps some macros involved for syntactic sugar alone; caveat with the cryptic error messages for errors in templates), hence my previously stated opinion.

Note that I am not complaining about the DSL, just how things are quite difficult to figure out (and untyped macros, as stated above).
They are building their own private terminal at San Jose airport [1].

Why would the motive matter anyway?

Because we have absolutely no reason to believe they won't change their minds down the road. Which is exactly what usually happens.
This is very spot on. Savvy advertisers are already rubbing their hands, waiting for the day when they can get access to Uber data. Imagine if one can send a message/notification to the people heading towards certain restaurants in Uber cars, asking "How about visiting my place instead, first drink and dessert is on the house :)"
The HDMI port on the back of your computer is purely an 'output' port. There is no circuitry there to read an input signal. Adding this to existing chips would make them more expensive, and most customers would never use this functionality, so the chip companies don't bother adding it.

So yeah... it's a hardware issue, not a driver issue.
> I imagine Google will license their future self driving-car stack to the existing car manufacturers, Uber, et al.

Tesla perhaps?
Windows CE is entirely different beaste, but Windows NT 3.5/4/2000 beta had support for MIPS, DEC, ALPHA, PPC, ia64.
You call the police if somebody rapes you. that isn't a customer service problem.
I think you pretty much summed up my point. You are obviously in love with yourself and know there is nothing you can learn from others. I would congratulate you, but it seems like you already do plenty of that yourself.

As I said before, I agree with you stance in many ways in professional sports. Yet, for some reason you felt the need to argue my hypothetical points? Strange stuff. Unlike you, I realize these things are not hard facts but opinions and best guesses bases upon available data.

Whether or not professional sports are a positive thing, depends very much upon what a persons priorities are. Many people would shut down all funding for the arts tomorrow if they had the choice. We could argue that in the same way. These discussions go nowhere because they are based on a person's individual priorities and are also why they are debated to death and never get anywhere. They are not topics with a definite answer.

The "feel-good crap" is people not telling you that the only reason you feel so strongly about this is because you have a bias likely based on some experiences from your childhood about sports. If you were rational you would think that maybe 100,000,000+ Americans are probably not idiots. But judging by the size of your ego, I wouldn't be surprised if you thought they were.

Oh and "So you think if people were choosing between their kids being able to read and having a sports stadium, they'd choose the sports stadium? Because that's the choice people are making.": You realize that sounds insane, right? Are you actually saying that in the US children cannot read because of sports stadiums?
Fair enough. Your contention that no one will look at your product unless its "so much better" than anything else is nonsense.

Were that the case then we'd only have one product in each market where, by your definition, the market would allow all but one to die out.
So then there are two possible positions you could have that would condone indiscriminate leaks to the press of counter-proliferation projects.

(1) You could believe that in a democracy there can never be secrets of any sort kept from the citizenry, or least, no such secrets can have decades-lived longevity; maybe it's OK to keep an "operational" secret for a few years, but by the time Risen got to it, the secret had to be revealed.

(2) You can believe that the prevention of proliferation of nuclear weapons is not a significant enough national interest to justify secrecy.
Sourcery (YC W13) – B2B payments and food sourcing – is hiring a lead engineer
Huh. That's a very interesting thought. The first thought that pops into my head is the risk. The appeal of trying to terraform Venus (or Mars) is that there isn't a huge existing population of humans. If we mess it up, well...that's unfortunate and expensive, but we didn't just make the only place we currently have uninhabitable.

The second though, pretty related to the first, is the ethical one. Do we have the "right" to do what we want to our planet, including probably causing mass extinction of existing animal life in order to terraform our planet? I'm not sure if I'm even willing to argue that one either way.

Like I said, it's interesting to consider your idea. If we can be sure that anything we do to "terraform" our planet isn't at all risky in terms of human survival, you're probably right!
The cable franchise agreements are exclusive. That's why you don't see two companies offering cable service. If they weren't you other companies would compete.

Regarding wireless, you don't seem to understand how the industry is structured. While it's true there are many brand names on the shelf in walmart, there are only 3 actual providers in a given metro region. Virgin, for instance, uses Sprints network, which is a combination of deals done with the owners of spectrum across the country.
That $0.56 number includes depreciation. There are other costs like insurance which are non-trivial. Initially at least, it's not going to be much less.
6) Producing Excel spreadsheets.
I should have been a little more explicit: the string interpolation, though not the focus of the article, is part of what interests me w.r.t. readability.
It certainly is. What's the alternative? Let the competition sink your company?
This is such a wonderful article, I wish there were more like this out. Thank you for a delightful contribution to educational resources.
But when Google does it, it's good business?

Google hasn't done this. So let's not get worked up about a hypothetical.
If Drummond got 0.1% Equity as a Director, it would've been worth $3.4M the day he joined and if he wasn't diluted, it would be worth $40M today. (I realize that both of those assumptions are unlikely, but it's still interesting as an example)
> Not sure where the author got "redditcoin"

Oh come on, that's what a lot, if not most, people have been calling it since it was announced.

Other than that, nothing you write contradicts the Guardian article (in fact, it more or less confirms it), and they're linking to some very public sources.

This is kind of weazily response that only marginally addresses the "wtf is going" question raised by the article, and on top of it tries to discredit the messenger. The latter is really in poor taste.
A closer analogy in the road-crew case would be a crew introducing obstructions to or closing lanes in roads that exit toward particular destinations, based on how much money the owners of businesses located at those destinations paid them. If the crew wanted to do their job and maintain the roads as the road conditions required, keeping their sights on the piece of infrastructure under their purview rather than butting into the logistically irrelevant question of the drivers' ultimate destinations, then sure, they shouldn't be responsible for the experiences at those destinations. But if they do butt in, one may certainly look askance at their business practices.

Indeed, to take the analogy even more literally, you'd practically be saying that it wasn't a certain governor's responsibility that drivers suffered from his decision to arbitrarily close bridge lanes as a political move.

To be fair, obviously roads are maintained by the government and thus form a monopoly, while you're arguing that these decisions can be positive only in the presence of competition. But I find it hard to see why such dysfunctional maintenance would be encouraged in any situation.
http://www.space.com/25186-cassini-spies-titan-waves.html - "New observations from NASA’s Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft show what appear to be glints of sunlight bouncing off a wind-rippled lake on the moon Titan." but cautions there may be other explanations.

http://news.sciencemag.org/space/2014/12/spacecraft-spots-pr... - "Near the moon’s north pole, there is growing evidence for waves on three different seas, ... In a handful of flybys of Titan in the past 6 months, Cassini scientists have seen signs of waves on three different seas: Kraken Mare, Ligeia Mare, and Punga Mare. ... Scientists involved in the discoveries have been cautious, saying that the features could also be floating debris or bubbles. At Kraken Mare, however, Cassini researchers detected a wavelike feature with both the spacecraft’s radar and a mapping spectrometer. That double detection gives Alexander Hayes, a planetary scientist at Cornell, extra confidence."
If all you have is a resource allocation problem (e.g. scheduling, launching jobs, etc.) in a group of people lower than the Dunbar Number (i.e. ~150), then replacing middle management with an API is a reasonable choice, because you don't have an interesting management problem that requires critical thought or leadership.
I've only started using ES6 in anger over the past few weeks, so I don't have anything public at this time. However, if you're familiar with d3 at all, then you know this pattern well:

someSelection
.attr("r", function(d, i) { return i * 20; })

Well, with ES6, this becomes so much nicer to write:

someSelection
.attr('r', (d, i) => i * 20)

Nothing earth-shattering, but when you're writing dozens of these accessor functions in each function, it makes d3 much easier to work with.
Uber's design inherently makes any kind of collective bargaining almost impossible. As long as money can be made by being an Uber contractor, people will do it -- right up to the moment that Uber replaces them all with self-driving cars. There is no picket line to patrol here, no way that the drivers can meaningfully coordinate with one another. Dispatch communicates with drivers, and vice versa, but there is no possibility of lateral communication between drivers.

It's pure, emotionless capitalism. Labour is now a commodity like any other. Depending who you ask, this is either the harbinger of a widening wage gap and the poverty that accompanies it, or a long-overdue development which paves the way for optimum efficiency.

Although my main experience in developing EDA tools, I would like to try new areas. I'm looking for a full-time job/internship. Things I'm proud of:

- Verilog project, added Verilog support in company's EDA software (parsing, testing and simulation)

- Viewpoints project. GUI for IC testing - no need to hardcode your IC tests anymore
Go seems to have solved the IO problem, but what about the general asynchronous issue? How do you handle calling a function several thousand times on dozens of threads and combine the results?
i imagine it is to protect the identify and location of people who post images and have no idea about exif/how to strip it.

Also saves us who do know from the hassle of stripping it out on our phones before posting ourselves.
I agree that absolute silence is a bit stifling. The spot I'm working in currently is very quiet and I actually prefer when the HVAC kicks on and covers up all the little sounds (mouse clicks, chairs creaking, etc.) with a base layer of white noise.
21 Ways to Achieve Wealth and Success
To anyone who may visit from the future:

I feel bad about this post but can no longer edit it. I believe in the content (that a lot of anti-science beliefs and political positions are due to a combination of self-interest, cowardice, and laziness.) Those are confrontational things to say, but there's a difference between confrontational and being a jerk. It felt briefly good to be a jerk, but that's worn off now.

This lapse is especially annoying since another thing I believe in is civility [1].

Anyway, sorry.

Except the workers will be even more commoditised and have their wages driven to a minimum, leading to lower satisfaction.

And the middle-managers losing their jobs will accelerate the destruction of the middle classes, whose spending is what keeps the economy motoring.

Not sure where that plays out, short of either guaranteed incomes or new-feudalism
