Currently, only AWS offers GPU instances. There are other, smaller providers like Nimbix or Peer1 but they offer bare-metal instances. With AWS, they currently have Grid K520 GPUs which is targeted for public and private Clouds.

The gist of this paper is that non ECC memory does not zero the memory but it conveniently skips the fact that public or private Cloud uses either NVIDIA Tesla or Quadro series cards, both of which have ECC (one of the main reasons they're expensive than say GTX Titan which offers same single/double-precision performance but does not offer ECC). No one really uses GeForce series cards for anything serious and definitely not virtualization so even though this is a vulnerability, it may not effect more than 1e-10% of virtualized GPUs out there
This is a very nice idea already.

Jesus, 110 nautical miles...

110 nautical miles = 126.586 miles

That's equivalent to shooting a projectile from:

- Baltimore to Philadelphia (102 miles = 88.6356 nautical)

- San Francisco to Sacramento (87.3 miles = 75.86 nautical)

- Joliet to Champaign (113 miles = 98.1943 nautical)

- (almost) Pittsburgh to Cleveland (132.7 miles = 115.31315 nautical)

- Tampa to Orlando (84.1 miles = 73.0809 nautical)

and so on...

Simply amazing how far these things can fire.

The best way to complain about a title on HN is to suggest a better title. If you're right, we'll probably use it.

Edit: We've changed the HN title to a phrase taken (mostly) from the article's subtitle. If anyone suggests a better one, we can change it again.

The article itself is clearly good and on-topic, so let's not fret about the title too much.

The rule is about place of supply, so any Patreon user receiving donations from people in the EU is presumably also supposed to register with VATMOSS and collect and pay VAT. Arguably Patreon aren't only abandoning users based in the EU, but users everywhere in the world with patrons there.

I say "arguably" because of course I've no idea how that borderline-crazy rule is supposed to be enforced. (And I may be misunderstanding it too.)

I'm based in the EU (in London) and I recently registered my business for VAT because of this regulation. Now I get to raise an eyebrow, metaphorical or literal, every time I account for a digital purchase I make from a US company and mark it down as "zero-rated" for VAT. It's not zero-rated as far as my government is concerned; the seller just didn't bother to charge the VAT and as the buyer it's not my problem.

(Edit: I hope.)

(Further edit: Thinking about it again, if a Patreon patron really doesn't receive a digital good in return, surely they don't have a case to answer after all?)
Haha, that's right, I forgot that Mach is a measurement of speed through a fluid and the local speed of sound. Obviously, Mach 7 on the Moon is greater than Mach 7 on Earth. I guess that means we can fire larger payloads with the same platform.
Why Control Systems (SCADA) Are on the Internet
Though it sounds like he's getting all the help he needs, whether he will outgrow the biting and hitting really depends upon his own individual slice of the autistic spectrum.

My 35-year-old brother is also autistic with some incredible savant skills. During his teen years, he spent all of his free time reading maps; at one time he held much of the world's roadmap in his head. (I never use GPS; I just call him when I need directions.) However, he also struggles with severe anxiety and occasionally gets violent.

With age, he has become more aware of his shortcomings. He can control himself to a limited extent—mostly by recognizing when he's about to melt down and then removing himself to a private place where it's safe for him to explode. But he still explodes. I always wonder how improved his life might be today if he had the benefit of the early childhood therapies that are more common these days.

I can't wait to do it. Definitely in. It's awesome that you're taking the leap to make your spaces connected across countries. And a +1 for the idea of moving boxes around from country to country.

As an aside I can't understand why, as a first step, co-working spaces in different locations haven't partnered up to offer this to people looking to move around and sort out their own accommodation. Having the availability of, say, Regus offices, with the entrepreneurship and tech focus found in current co-working spaces would be a huge plus.
short of having a language mechanism for doing an 'uninitialized' let, conditional operators could work:

What is it about businesses and not being able to shrink and grow over time appropriately. Everyone's bringing up what would and wouldn't work to sustain Radio Shack's 5000 stores. Does any business model every involve shrinking to accommodate or is it all about unsustainable growth and then bankruptcy and golden parachutes for all the guys who fail to see anywhere past 3 quarters?

I just don't understand the lack of creativity when things start going south. People try to hang onto what's not working until everything fails. Look at all the spinoff retail opportunities there are. Convert these radio shacks into this, and keep these like this. Then whatever works works, works and what doesn't try again. Otherwise what is the point of selling cables for 50x markup than having cash to keep on inventing.

Emcien (Atlanta, GA) - Junior or Senior C Dev

We are looking for someone with basic C experience - "a few classes four years ago" may be sufficient. You should be able to manage the first 5 Project Euler problems in C, and you should at least be competent to write FizzBuzz, implement a basic singly-linked list, and build a simple unix 'cat' utility.

You should also be somewhat familiar with Unix - comfortable getting work done on either the Linux or OSX command line. Bonus points for any of:

- Understands hash tables
- Familiarity with Ruby (our tests are written in RSpec)
- Experience with data manipulation (text processing, parsing, etc)
- Is not afraid of pointers
- Can write C Macro wrappers for data structures
- Has experience with using SAS, R, SciPy, or Matlab to do data analysis

An experienced C developer could also apply if interested - you folk are harder to find and hire, but we have no specific requirement for a junior-level salary.

You can talk to me (nevinera@gmail.com) if you have any questions, or if you just want a feel for the company.

To apply, send a resume and sample C program to devjobs@emcien.com. The sample should be written by you in C, but otherwise can be anything you like - if you have any C projects already public, that will do; otherwise I'd suggest a basic implementation of unix `cat`, `sort`, or `cut` as a reasonable demonstration of competence.

That's part of what I was trying to sweep under the rug, because there's a ton of details and caveats. In particular, while I'm sure it's possible, I personally do not have the hardware to intercept between the cable modem and its network.

However, for the smart TV, broadly speaking, they can disguise what the traffic is, but they are not capable of disguising that there is traffic, and without engaging in outright deception can't disguise where the traffic is going. (I mean that caveat about outright deception... it is theoretically feasible, of course.) (If the TV is wired-only, I'd have to insert my computer between the TV and the router. This is a few minutes with Linux routing commands. If it's wireless I just sniff the wireless.)

And many of the cases we are talking about are cases where the mere presence of traffic, or traffic in a certain shape ("a continuous 4kilobit stream" -> audio stream), is intrinsically suspicious. Netflix pouring megabytes into my console when I ask for a movie is not surprising; constant leaks coming out of my cell phone when I'm not actively using it would be, whereas occasional bursts to Google Play servers or my corporate email server wouldn't be. The topic of "metadata" is one that comes up a lot in these discussions, and here's an example of where that can play in our advantage for once... you can tell a lot just by looking at a stream's basic characteristics, no matter how encrypted the internals may be.

So making the site responsive would create backlash? I just don't buy it. Very few users' enjoyment of HN will be made or broken by the design, unless it becomes gaudy/trendy/elaborate. I'm not suggesting that. It should be simple -- just modern and simple.

And although I don't have this problem, some users have visual impairments. Having a site that is so difficult-to-read is discriminating against those people. It's 2015, and it's long-past time to worry about accessibility.

If your company goes public and you have valuable equity but face a lockup of 6 months you can still "lock in" some price...if your company gets publicly traded options that is.

Sell calls at the price you want to sell for the month that the lockup expires. If your shares get called away you got the price you wanted and some premium. However, you miss out on a huge gain if it goes far beyond your call level. Also, if the stock tanks in that time you keep your now less valuable shares but you got some premium.

So, after selling calls you can take that money you made from the premium and buy puts with it at around the same price. You've created a spread here and have locked in a selling price and gave yourself some downside insurance - all for very little cost to you over all since the covered call premium paid for most, if not all of your puts. Your only risk now is that the stock goes through the roof and you miss out on some upside - but that makes sense as you've eliminated risk for very little out of pocket cost. So maybe you do this on 1/2 or 2/3 of your position or whatever you're comfortable with.

Of course the difficulty is if you have a ton of stock and the option market for your company isn't very large and therefore illiquid.

I’m not against revocation charges per se, I’m against charges being paid prior to revocation. So a CA including something like “if we have revoke this cert, you have to pay 20$, we will revoke under these circumstances: …” would be perfectly fine with me – terms in legal contracts requiring one party to pay a certain amount if certain situations arise are not uncommon, so I don’t think this would have legal issues.

My problem is really that a CA says “we know this cert is bad but won’t revoke it, sorry about that”, just because the owner of the cert (someone absolutely irrelevant to me) doesn’t pay up.

> Do you think SSH, Postfix, nginx, Apache & Co don't get the same amount of scrutiny?

NO! Because they're behind a firewall AND each operates on a very restricted protocol! It has nothing to do with quality of codebase. If Wordpress was behind a firewall and only restricted to text-based input per spec, you wouldn't find many vulnerabilities either.

> What does "web based" have to do with anything?

Because "web based" is the client. It has to be flexible and with flexibility, comes complexity, and with complexity come exploits.

Its like when you order a more expensive bottle of wine, and the restaurant's service charge is a percentage of it... its ridiculous to charge $100 to open a bottle of wine.

Chances are you would be perfectly happy if there were no service charges or tipping, but the prices were all increased by 18% (or whatever the service charge is), and the receipts distributed in identical fashion. When I'm in a restaurant I don't look at the service charge as something additional I pay, it's just information about the split between the restaurant owners and the employees. Admittedly this makes pre-calculating the bill more difficult, but if you're ordering $500 bottles of wine then chances are you're making enough money that that you don't care very much about the actual total amount.

I find it curious that you resent the wait staff getting a chunk of the cash you've decided to spend on a fancy meal/wine selection, even though you presumably have no problem with the restaurant owner making a similar profit.

Current HAProxy already supports the handshake of SPDY/HTTP2 via NPN and ALPN. You have to route to proper backends. You also need to provide a HTTP/1.1 fallback implementation for incapable clients. Once setup that works very well. I am using it for our blog (https://blog.cloudno.de)

> Is HTTPS mandatory on HTTP/2 like it was on SPDY?

Not in terms of the protocol spec, but most major browser vendors have indicated that they only intend to support HTTP/2 in-browser over TLS connections, so in practice for typical, browser-targeting use cases, it looks like it will, at least initially.

A few nitpicks:

“Your team should work like an open-source project.” Funny, because that’s exactly what
GitHub (the product) is.

No it's not. Sure, it's used by a lot of open-source projects, and it's built on quite a few open-source technologies, but if you were to ask someone at Github to give you the source code for the whole product at all (let alone under an "open-source" (read: free software) license), you'd probably be laughed at.

This is like saying that Windows is an "open-source product" because some people happen to use it to write open-source software.

Even their Error 404 page keeps with the “freedom” branding — you land on the design team’s
interpretation of MC Escher’s house of stairs.

It's actually more likely to be an interpretation of Escher's "Impossible Cube" [0].

Hmmm, you appear to have a high opinion of your ability to determne 'good physics code'. Unfortunately, just a high opinion, not a high ability.

The OPs code is fine. And was written by a she, not a he.

Your suggestion is what is sometimes called 'continuous' collision detection. It is needed in some cases, particular when the OP approach might miss collisions (less often for when knock-on-collisions are missed, since those are rarer). But that approach is not 'better' - it is far more time consuming (vastly more for 3d rigid bodies with angular velocity), and has a visual benefit in some cases (not in the OPs case - or at least you wouldn't see the difference).

But, of course, both approaches are very approximate and only intended to give the right feel. If you wanted to be even more accurate you would process your collisions by subdividing updates around the collision (a good pool-ball simulation does this, to model proper breaks). And you'd have to use different integrators than the 1st degree Newton update.

This process can keep going as far as you like. For physics systems I've worked on for modelling the behavior of rigid components in MotoGP bikes, the kinds of approximations you allow are very different to the physics engines I've built for commercial games. Neither are 'better' or 'worse' - a good programmer understands the requirements of their domain . To that extent, the OP's approach is fine, and powers the vast majority of the physics in current generation video games (most engines do support continuous collision detection, but it will be switched off for most rigid bodies in a scene, for performance).
