I like part of Ruth Goldstein's, one of the park conservancy founders, response in that article. While I am fairly confident that asking and trying to go through legitimate channels to get the bust put up would not of worked, what she said makes me think there are at least people who would consider it, although probably not high enough in power structures to actually get it done.

“The park is such a symbol of American liberty; that’s what it’s all about, the founding principals of it,” she said. “It (the bust) is almost appropriate but inappropriate to do it (put up illegally).”
Thank you so much. It is going to help me in a big way. Appreciate your response.

The author of the post - partner at an investment vehicle that invests in startups - severely damages the credibility of this post to me. Burn rate may not be something VC's care a ton about, in fact, one of the most common complaints I've heard about raising too much money is that the investors pressure you to spend it faster than you want or need to. For the startup, however, burn is one of the most important numbers to care about, since it determines how long you can live before needing to either raise more money or become profitable (or at least cash-flow positive).
It would certainly be great if tax money were used more effectively (for whatever value of effectiveness). Causing that to be the case, though, is most likely out of reach for most of us. We can really only look at the best thing that we can do, rather than the best thing that someone else could do. Sometimes the best we can do doesn't involve being able to give to charities in the present.
I wasn't clear enough I now realize in my post, I meant supporting Hack language that comes with HHVM (type annotations etc) in PHP Storm
Investors (including YC) prefer to invest in teams focused on one specific product. Every successful company will end up competing against other companies with similar products, so ones that are more focused are more likely to win.

Investors already have their eggs in many baskets, so additional diversification within a given investment isn't attractive to them.
Have you tried git-annex? It handles large files really well and is as close to git-like as you can get. :)
You seem to have linked to Google's slightly inferior, copycat cloud offering.

I read Steve's rant as a cri de coeur not for an AWS-style infrastructure as was relevant and genre-busting at the time of the essay's inception, but for Google to stop following slowly with slightly inferior, copycat versions of other people's grand ideas and expecting anything good to happen out of it.

Granted, Google has some pretty great, if in-the-small, consumer-facing initiatives: think Street View.

But as one of the primary governments of the internet, they could be doing so much more to move the needle for computing and advance the general state of the art.

I'm working on adding AWS support for Kubernetes. I just last week finished Load-Balancer (ELB) & Persistent Storage (EBS) support, and they're currently going through the pull-request review process. Once they merge (I'd guess a week or two?), AWS will be on-par with Google Cloud Engine feature-wise.

I have found the Kubernetes team to be nothing other than extremely supportive of efforts to support AWS & non-Google platforms. It takes a little longer to translate some of the Google-isms to other platforms, but I'm happy for the thinking behind those decisions, vs just adopting lowest-common denominator.
Kubernetes is actually in the process of getting rocket support in addition to existing support for Docker. More details can be found here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/pull/5518
Where does it keep its data? Docker volumes?
True, but at that point, you should have a driver, since driving anywhere is a waste of your time compared to paying someone $30 an hour to drive. And that driver can fill up your car with gas.

Bingo. There has to be some correlation among the products else you run into competition on all fronts. On top of this - the competition you will run into are often solely focused on that product.
For people with good vision, a 4K 6" screen held 18" from the eyes will look better than a 1080p screen, all other factors being equivalent. Held further than about 18", 4K won't make a a difference for most people.

For a 60" TV that sits 10 feet away, you're not going to see much difference. Move that TV to 4 feet away, and you'll appreciate the extra pixels.

For virtual reality, and other applications that put the screen much closer to your eyes, the extra pixels will make a huge difference.

It's all about the viewing distance.
Think of it from the point of the park officer. If they notice it, and not cover it up, then it will be read as an implicit endorsement, and will generate an unending amount of gossip and headache. Why would they want it.

The good news about hhvm is that with the newest builds from the past few months you can finally run it longer than a week without memory leaks and crashing under high loads.

This is a great write up. I have been skeptical of converting to HHVM for a while because of a bad experience I had several years ago. I've been following the HHVM project off and on for a while now, but it really sounds like it may be ready for some smaller projects who don't have the resources of an Etsy to try it out.
Ideas of what I should put on my domain?
It might be a terminology thing. Assuming MyStruct only contains values, it will fully live on my_func's stack and nothing needs deallocating on drop. When take_ownership is called a copy of it's value would be passed in, and the original location marked unusable (assuming MyStruct doesn't implement Copy). So yeah, there's isn't any specific memory location being taken over, since there's two locations involved.
Yes, but watch out if you've already pushed to remote branches or even done merge/rebase with other local branches. You're rewriting history.
There isn't really a legitimate debate, there's the PR department of statism and fearfulness and then the reality-seeking people who decry government power-grabbing and anti-liberalism.

Dragnet surveillance is totalitarianism. I guess there are apologists for totalitarianism, but why, if we are a democracy, do we listen to those who actively advocate for tyranny?

EDIT: Haven't heard any objection to my points yet, primarily that it's not possible to argue in good faith that someone can be both be well-informed about the effects of dragnet surveillance and still be pro-surveillance.

I totally disagree that a startup's audience is more vague! If you're attempting to reach everyone then you probably aren't reaching anyone. Or do you mean post-traction "startups" who are trying to grow outwards from a smaller audience they have already won? If so, I suppose I agree with you, but I think the term "startup" is pretty dubious (though still widespread) in those cases.
I started using Alpine a couple of weeks ago. Really curious what sorts of problems you've encountered. The only big one for me so far is the change to DNS resolution.

You're being off topic. Straw man comes to mind.

Whether you agree or not with how they got to prison has nothing to do with how a prison should operate. The point is prison's do what they do with people incarcerated and no one should consider it as a nice place to spend some time.
> nothing like the OP's `fn take_ownership(obj: MyStruct)` example.

It uses Box to demonstrate ownership in the first section, but that works the same way with any Rust type unless said type was opted into copy semantics, there's nothing special or magical about Box (at least in that respect), it's just a wrapper for a raw pointer.

Samsung Denies Paying People to Attend Galaxy S6 Launch Event in China
I and 80,000 Hours take really seriously the harm you might do through your work. I'd feel very uncomfortable to say the least to recommend that someone work in Big Tobacco in order to earn to give.

I don't think of finance like I think of big tobacco though, and the criticisms I hear of finance tend to fall into one of two camps (i) lumping all of finance into one category; (ii) not really understanding what finance does. There are some areas of finance that are morally dubious (creating ever-more-arcane financial instruments that people don't understand). And I'm sympathetic in general to the idea that a lot of finance is rent-seeking, in which case you want regulation to cut down on that. But you don't have to go into dodgy areas of finance. Matt primarily takes advantage of arbitrage opportunities; it's hard to see how that is fucking over the world.

And even on the Big Tobacco front: if you could go in and substantially change their policies for the better (even if you couldn't make them any way close to perfect), I'd think of that as a really honorable thing to do. The same goes in finance. If you do find yourself in a really dodgy situation, you can always be a whistleblower, and potentially do a lot of good that way.
For all intent and purpose, git and hg are fairly equivalent. In day to day usage, the two big differences are:

1. Local branches

Git has them, mercurial doesn't really. Mercurial wants you to use a lightweight clone (copy-on-write with hard links) instead. Lots of mercurial extensions deal with this however.

The lack of rebase in stock hg is probably directly driven by the lack of local branches that don't get pushed upstream by default.

2. Committing code

Mercurial, without extensions, doesn't have the git shelf. With extensions there's a few competing options like MQ, Shelve or Evolve.

Both these points make hg easier to learn (branch == clone is very easy to wrap your head around, commit behaves basically like svn/cvs).

As someone pointed out, locking yourself in could definitely be a catalyst. How to develop his sensibilities has a very different answer, though - Have High Standards.

* He aches for the very best tool that will suit all his major needs.
* He mentions getting the data structures right first, which is of prime importance. And no, it doesn't mean you start building TreeFactoryAdapter's.
* He codes at the lowest level, in C (please don't whine about assembly), to maintain complete control over memory usage.

I shudder to think what he would come up with if he ever decides to take Common Lisp on a test ride.
What's the point of the Nexus 6 having 1440 vertical pixels in landscape mode? Nexus 6's 1440 pixels is a third of the way between 1080p and 4k. So, presumably, scaled down 4k video would look better on it than scaled up 1080p video when the device is held closely.

Is just SQL query syntax supported?

The beauty of the Elasticsearch query syntax is that you can dynamically create complex JSON dsl objects as you drill down just using push and other methods.

With the crate SQL syntax it looks like it would be a messier dynamic query generation using string functions?

So my question is: Is it possible to query Crate with Elasticsearch syntax?
1. Before I finish studying a subject, I'm unable to identify the best sources of information.

2. Before I identify the best sources of information, I'm unable to adequately determine which information I should act on and which sources I should make note of in my personal wiki.

3. Before I make note of the best sources of information, I shouldn't close any tabs.

So when I study a subject, I keep all tabs open except for those resources that are clearly of low quality. After I finish studying the subject, I process all tabs, often hundreds, and I make note of the best sources of information in my personal wiki.

Perhaps you should have disclosed in your answer that you're a founder of a Kubernetes-focused startup.
Nothing about duck typing requires a python-like type system. F# has duck typing via inlining (hacky sorta), C# has it too, but only for compiler use, not end user code (because why build generic features, when you can hack one-offs into the compiler).

It'd be great to have more static duck typing. I suppose that's the point of traits and mixins, to some extent. But it'd be nice to have on-the-fly constraints created and enforced.
"whether we're facing an apocalypse by 2040 or if things are merely going be catastrophic by 2100"

Right... like the hundreds of thousands of refuges fleeing rising sea levels that was to happen by 2010. Pardon my scepticism. We don't know what is going to happen by 2040 and retrofitting models then saying "oh, now it's all figured out!" doesn't take future things you haven't figured out into account.

Is there any technical report that describes how VP9 works internally?
No, it can hold as much data as the sum of all the nodes in the cluster have (also depending on the amount of replicas you configure).
Some background: All data is being sharded by default. These shards are distributed evenly between the nodes. Nodes can hold multiple shards. Furthermore shards can have replicas, being hold by other nodes.
Memory is being utilized to hold indizes in RAM and to cache values that are being needed frequently for e.g. aggregations ("field caches").
Comments like this reinforce my point. You are basically framing this entire debate as good versus evil. That is not going to change anyone's minds and it serves no real purpose outside of rallying your own side. There is a middle ground between our government can read everything and our government can read nothing. I don't know where that line is, but the only way we find that line is through open debate. Except no side apparently seems willing to engage in that debate.
Salt has an agent-less option as well.
It's possible (and practical!) if you allocate nodes in a List<T> and use indices instead of pointers. Then you can use bit 0 to encode the colour. Using bit 0 instead of sign bit gives the advantage of branch-free code to retrieve the child index (always shift right by one).
D'you have a source?
I don't know how incubator/accelerators look at this, but I know that generally speaking investors think of this as a very bad thing. It is not a matter of diversifying risk allowing one product to fail while another product succeeds. It's a matter of amplifying risk.

Starting a single product is very hard. It takes a whole lot of effort, time, energy, and finance to get a product off the ground and viable. By adding a second unrelated product into the mix you are multiplying those tasks. Let's imagine the scenario where the financial services app is doing well in the app store and the social networking website is struggling. The logically thing would be to cut the social network loose and focus on the financial services app. Unfortunately, a co-founder generally won't do that. They will pull the profits from the financial services app and use that to try to save the social networking website. This removes resources from the successful application and pushes them towards the unsuccessful. This probably won't solve the social networks problems, and it will probably cause problems for the financial services app. In the end, both will fail.

Some would say you can build a successful business with related product offerings that are different but complementary. This can be true. It would be like a car company that also owns a finance arm, an insurance arm, and a maintenance arm. All are different but complementary. However, again there is a substantial amount of risk in this and you would have to be well established for an investor the believe you have what it takes to make a business ecosystem like this succeed.

At any rate, I would suggest picking a product and sticking to it. If it fails, then try the other.
I agree it's important to think about; and that morally you can't just take benefits - harms = net good. It's reasonable at least to be more morally concerned about avoiding harm than about doing good. That said, I've never heard a plausible story about how someone like Matt is causing harm in his career (unlike he might be doing if he worked for tobacco companies, for example).

If the state wants it to be so, it will be legal. The holocaust was legal. Segregation was legal. Stop mentioning legality of the NSA spying; the government writes the laws for their own benefit, of course what they do is legal.

Legality of government actions is utterly, brutally, critically, inhospitably irrelevant when compared to what is ethical. A dragnet isn't ethical. A police state isn't ethical.

Furthermore, there wasn't ever a public debate over whether people wanted the dragnet or not-- it was done in secret, then exposed, then legalized after it was exposed to the public, regardless of any public comment for or against it.

As far as "political problems" go, I'd say we all should have major political problems with the government of the US, which hasn't thought twice about breaking all of its own "rules" about the privacy, civil, or human rights of citizens.

The watch Command (2007)
For several years now Mercurial has had bookmarks in core, which are analogous to git's local branches.

It's also worth pointing out that many of the extensions you referred to (rebase, shelve) are bundled with core Mercurial and need only a one-line addition to a configuration file to turn them on. Extensions bundled with core Mercurial have the same level support and backward compatibility guarantees as the rest of Mercurial. Part of Mercurial's command line philosophy is to not include obvious foot-guns (like the ability to rewrite history) in the default version.
Actually, the 10% isn't intended to be the Objectively Correct Amount To Donate. If someone accepts any obligation to help their fellow humans, then the conclusion is that they have an (effectively) infinite obligation. However, people operating as if they have an infinite obligation tend to find a way to reject that, or simply shut down and ignore the problem. Thus, picking a lower percentage than 100 that can be endorsed can result in better outcomes than the alternative, and 10% is a nice round Schelling point.
It sounds as if you reject the notion that you have an obligation to help other people, which I find interesting. Would you be willing to explain your thoughts on this?
