I can tell you first hand the majority of our team members work on our opensource projects. It's one of the main reasons I came to work for CoreOS over a year ago. But the concern is still valid -- will CoreOS really keep funding our opensource projects or will CoreOS pull a fast one and go open core?

So far our actions prove we are committed to opensource and that continues with todays announcement. We wanted it to be really clear that CoreOS is all about opensource projects and collaboration, even if that means our competitors can compete with us, that we took major effort in keeping the two brands separate. There is coreos.com for "Open Source Projects for Linux Containers", and tectonic.com that combines those projects in a commercial offering. There are some non-open bits in the commercial offering, but they don't conflict with the opensource projects.

You are right that we will allocate more resources towards making money, which is required if we want to continue the good work we are doing on the opensource front. You are also right in that the community will pick up the slack, but please keep in mind that CoreOS is part of that community and we plan to continue leading the way.
TLDR:

"p’s and α’s are not the same thing; they measure different concepts"
Your own link contradicts your definition:

In the field of counterintelligence, a double agent (also double secret agent) is an employee of a secret intelligence service, whose primary purpose is to spy on a different target organization, but who, in fact, is a member of the target organization.

In other words, if Snowden worked for the NSA and spied on China or Russia, but at the same time was passing information over to China or Russia, he would then be a double agent. That's why it's so fishy when he repeatedly says that he specifically used to work on Chinese targets (for example: [1]), chose to flee the US and go to China, and his 3rd leak in the news was giving a Chinese newspaper a list of all of Chinese computers that had been targeted by the NSA[2].

That doesn't mean he's a double-agent, but it certainly raises some eyebrows...

Snowden would not have been safe from kidnapping in South America. Once his location was known, he would have been as good as captured. Only Russia or China have the kind of military might that could deter the US from attempting to take him back by force.
The correct answer to that is: it depends, aka not necessarily.

Most likely what Google is doing, is dancing in the gray area. For example, is it criminal when PayPal hits you with a chargeback because a customer lies about x y or z? Given their size there's no question they do that a lot. Google would argue their business choices, like shutting down someone's wallet account (with money in it), falls into a similar category of business discretion - rather than being criminal.

This is why almost all of what the SEC does is civil enforcement, fines, etc. In business there are almost always cases of financial loss due to ignorance, incompetence, discretion, risk taking and so on - most of that is not properly going to be criminal, but rather civil.

Were Google doing something inappropriate in an area involving business discretion, the government may decide it's not ok, but not criminal (eg lacking the intention to defraud). In that case, they'll typically try to put a stop to the behavior, and use fines to do so. At times it can be incredibly difficult to show a company is intending to defraud its customers, the Feds would need a hard trail of evidence (emails, communication, etc. showing Google was trying to defraud customers).
I don't understand why people love these loosely/dynamically typed languages like Ruby or JS. I'd much rather a C# or Java. And Haskell is leagues ahead of the rest.

If you haven't tried Haskell. Let's just say it has no nulls and no mutable state. If that doesn't whet your appetite :)
> Wild speculations aside, you might want to consider the revelations on their own merits rather than a ham-fisted smear against the source. The fact remains that they have been confirmed as true and are therefore not some kind of black propaganda.

Fair enough. I'm more interested in the political implications anyway.

So what do we do about Swatters? Metadata collection seems to be the only useful tool against them.
Shameless self promotion: I wrote hussar[0], a tool that uses HHVM for PHP static analysis in projects that can't run HHVM directly. Etsy says "getting [their] code to run on HHVM was relatively easy", but my experience has been the opposite. Previous discussion on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9071854

An interesting detail is that while I was complaining about a non-argument, he at least advanced an actual argument while trying to parody it.

And you know what? Where "my morality" is our Constitution and the principles of a constrained government that serves (and is accountable to) the people, then yes, that trumps the Hell out of laws designed to allow what's going on and keep it secret from us.

Given the context of the original memorial that the bust was added to, I wish I could say I was still surprised at people like cdbajorin.
It does mean that every tool they've written to work with their stack now needs to have a Go equivalent. For some things, that'll be easy. It also means they now need people who know Go, which means any of their engineers can't just work on the code without learning.

It also means deployment will be different.

While the technology might make more sense, there's often enough reasons to not use it if you've specialized into a certain ecosystem.
I guess the question I've been having is that if I want to begin a new project with performance as a main priority, should I use HHVM+PHP or HHVM+Hack over something like Java or Go, or is it more for making existing PHP codebases more performant.
the triage is the part people and policy makers won't accept as the primary tool for cost savings. spending money delaying elderly cancer patients from dying by 3 months is a huge waste of resources, yet it is standard practice.
A Guide to Thesis-Writing and a Guide to Life
I have never been asked to do a technical interview before being offered a gig. They ask about my experience, from there they tell me about the problem they need solved. So far I've always been familiar with their problem, I will immediately follow up with a high level description of how I will solve their problem (this is during the meeting and without doing research).

For example my most recent gig, the client, a start-up, had a product already in the field. However for development and manufacturing testing they did not have any tools to test the device. They wanted a tool to manually control the device, if possible they wanted a custom script environment added, and they had some device driver issues. Because they already had working code for all of the functionality of the device I explained that I could port the existing code over to the test application. Based on the scripting requirement I recommended using IronPython, Scintilla .net for a nice context highlighting text edit interface, and for their device driver problem it was a matter of walking the device driver stack to make sure the intended device was selected as they had multiple identical devices attached. The hardest part was that the device was written in C++, but they wanted the tool written in C# using .NET. So I had to translate the working device while I was creating the tool. They did not question my ability after I quickly followed their explanation of what the device was, how it worked and what they wanted. Within a couple of days they emailed me a contract, and about a week later they shipped their hardware as I work from home and in another state.

I have turned down gigs because I don't "work" in California, I refuse to pay the ridiculous taxes and deal with all the paperwork. I live in Nevada where there are no state income taxes, one less headache to worry about. Telephone, email and Skype are all that are required to communicate.

As for doing a technical interview? If asked I would never do one, I am a professional. No one asks a Lawyer to solve some legal problems and write example contracts, no one asks a doctor to do some sample examinations and provide a written diagnosis. I have references, I will talk about past work as long as I am not giving away any confidential information. If that is not good enough than I don't need to waste my time with the client. They are free at any time to have me stop working for them if they are not satisfied, considering that recruiters charge 15-20% of a years salary to bring someone on board it's quite a bit cheaper to have me do some work and decide I'm not living up to their expectations (that's never happened).
Snowden had, perhaps, a duty to disclose that the NSA was spying on Americans. He went too far by also revealing the list of targetted embassies.
If your firewall (which you'll still need) is configured correctly, then the wider internet either won't know an address isn't routable, or won't be able to do anything even if it is (there are various schools of thought on blocking ICMP messages from the internet, which range from "you break the internet if you block ICMP" to "I'll blackhole ICMP so nobody knows my devices exist")
So this is cap-and-trade for IPv4?
I think it will be tough to add unique value because it's such a limited range of products with very wide availability. You can buy recent-generation refurbished stuff directly from Apple, and then there's eBay, craigslist, Amazon etc where you can buy just about anything they've ever made.
If you're seriously suggesting that FISA is some kind of check on the use/abuse of the government's surveillance powers, you're either a shill, or deluded.
Why don't women learn how to be better negotiators? I resisted the urge to say "Why don't we teach women to be better negotiators", because that sounds pretty sexist. But this whole thing sounds pretty sexist to me anyway.

Why does DOD need any publicly rout-able IP address space, other than to run a handful of brochure sites, which could easily be outsourced.

Okay I'll be more specific. Without specific permission pertaining to a specific case, they collect whatever they feel like to sort out later. I don't like that.

>I hope that in our short discussion, you learned how things actually work.

I learned there has been more access to metadata than I previously thought, but my main worry is and has been the exploding amount of metadata and analysis, which I do have a pretty good grasp on.

Thanks for the discussion.
If that's true, that it's not well-correlated, why haven't companies figured this out yet? You'd think someone would be paying attention when there's money involved.
Network Archaeologists Discover Two Types of Network Growth in Facebook Data

Are you sure? I suspect your data set might be missing some; the best negotiators I've ever seen were basically invisible. The people they were negotiating with didn't even realise it was a negotiation.
"I want more money, so I'm not going to apply at Reddit" is one of the issues that comes to mind. Only time will tell if it works out for them.

What you want is called a firewall.

There seems to be this common misconception that a firewall and a NAT box are the same thing, but they're not. It just happens that most NAT implementations also work as firewalls (though not the other way round).

Even if you don't have a firewall, the odds of someone discovering your IPv6 address by chance (i.e. without you communicating with them first) are incredibly low. Common IPv6 deployment practice is to delegate at least a /56 prefix to each end user, so your device gets an address chosen at random from 2^72 possibilities. You can even hop into a different address every few minutes for added security (some IPv6 stacks do this).

So please don't spread the misconception that IPv6 is somehow less secure than IPv4! :)
That's what I was thinking... I know Rust isn't 1.0 yet, but it's hardly esoteric.
I don't think that information bites is a good analogy for what brains do.
As cliche as it may sound, I'd recommend the book "7 habits of highly effective people" by Stephen R. Covey- teaches you to take responsibility for your life and to focus on things you have influence over (among other things).

How to be a young billionaire
If this catches on, I wonder how long it will take the federal government to decide it's such a good idea everyone needs to do it. I can imagine a database of approved salaries that map to job titles, geographic metadata, and whatever else - and that's what you'll get paid.
That's strange. My buddy across the street also has a Comcast Business account. While he does have to use a particular modem, it's handing out a DHCP lease to his personal Airport Extreme. He also has fully functioning IPv6 service.

Do you like, have several IPv4 addresses assigned to you or something?
I see that your heart is set on being stuck to upholding the "laws" that make up our system of government while steadfastly ignoring the entire "laws are made for the benefit of the powerful and subject to change based upon convenience" reality we live in. To reiterate, this isn't some small-time debate about whether "leaking confidential files" is "legal" or not, but rather a debate about whether the public has the right to know what the government is doing. The public does, in fact, have a right to know what the government is doing in their name. Snowden and whistleblowers need to exist in the current configuration of the government, which favors secrecy because they fear the public's reaction to their bad deeds.

One last try: Snowden leaked information which tells us that the NSA effectively has the power to blackmail anyone in the US or elsewhere. Via whistleblower Russ Tice we know that the NSA was spying on Obama starting from 2004. Anything Obama has done, the NSA has known. Doesn't that seem like it creates an avenue for major abuse?

This sure seems like a backdoor to democracy which would justify letting the members of the democracy know, right? Or is it still more important to maintain confidential materials when the materials show that democracy has a workaround via surveillance?
How do we know the Coase theorem applies in this case?

Back in November 2014, there were at least 10,130,200 IP addresses in the EC2 range. So there are potentially way more than that today due to growth of EC2 and IP addresses required for other AWS services.

> If big company like Google owes you money - isn't there some institution that will help you get it?

That's what the civil justice system is for.

> Especially if Google wrongfully kept the money from many customers. I would think some government run institutions would get going.

There's some government institutions (other than the courts themselves) that might have authority to initiate action in certain cases, but in general "not paying out funds the way I think is required based on the contract I have with you" is the kind of thing handled through private actions in the civil justice system.

> Something like the "public prosecutor's office" or so.

While its possible that anything wrong Google might have done might rise to the level of a criminal, rather than civil, wrong, none of the descriptions I've seen point to anything that (even if the descriptions are presumed to be completely correct) seems obviously criminal.
No problem, if you need to pay someone more, give them a fancier title!

(Ever wonder why Salary.com-type sites show Software Engineers making $80k but Software Developers making $70k?)
Wow,this gives real insight into why they may be more attached to hard copy. Sometimes traditional techniques maintain order, stability and arguably security at the expense of expediency and efficiency. I wonder how technologies are evolving to incorporate some of these traditions.
A working computer smaller than a grain of rice
A generally applicable rule of thumb is that any company that claims to provide "anonymous" or "secure" services/products is untrustworthy, unless proven otherwise.

It's extremely hard to make money from perfect security/anonymity, so any commercial entity is likely to have screwed up at least something, whether intentional or not.
It would be nice to see a performance comparison here. I wouldn't be surprised if Haskell would win, given the fact that lazy evaluation is its bread and butter.
It's not about "heavy math." On a small-screened device like a phone, information density is more important, not less. This change dramatically reduces the density, so you have to do much more scrolling to see the same amount of information.
Nice idea. You can create a customizable plugin with nice graphs so bloggers can put it inside their income reports.
Agreed entirely.

People get insulted when there is information which implies the USA has done something wrong. On some level, they admit the truth, but they react against it strongly by suppressing that admission and focusing their anger on the person or people who brought it to their attention.
The arguments in favor of such an elimination seem... contrived. Hell, I'd even figure them to be sexist with their implications of "oh gee, well women are bad negotiators, so we won't even give them the chance to negotiate in a very-visibly-male-dominated environment".
That idea doesn't work, though. Most devices/OSes remember your last access point, and will, upon a Anonabox failure / deauth / whatever, happily reconnect to your regular (non-Tor!) WiFi AP. That instantly compromises you. Changing the Anonabox SSID doesn't change that.
Author here. I didn't know about first_value. Thanks for the tip!

I'll play with this later today and see if it performs any better. In any case, it makes the query easier to read, so we'll probably use this unless it somehow makes the function slower.

Thanks again!
Even though I know that it's not exactly 100%, I assumed it since factoring in end of life costs like ambulance, emergency room procedures for resuscitation and whatnot would probably apply to so many people that for the ones that go out without cost is inconsequential, e.g. falling off a bridge or something.

And if most people can't even save for a rainy day fund, how can we expect them to save for diabetes and hypertension and dialysis meds that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars? The funny thing is that in the US, we have some stupid hybrid taxpayer/insurance subsidized healthcare scheme called Medicaid, but only if you're old.

Bottom line is the US public thinks it's unconscionable (or politically untenable) to deny healthcare if someone is dying, but not in any other situation, and at the same time thinks people should be responsible for providing for themselves, which at current healthcare costs is simply not going to happen.

This. And every one of my grandparents has hated that their children insisted on it. They wanted to go home and die in dignity, and their children were pushing for just a few more months.
I believe that is called universal healthcare...
I didn't. I was describing what makes it attractive to newer developers with limited C++ experience. I'm sure it's also attractive to some experienced C++ developers who have grown tired of C++'s shit.

I personally find C++ is fine and dandy if you're working with a disciplined team. On the other hand, it's bad qualities are immensely magnified when the overall team lacks in talent and/or experience.
I concur :)
haha, Sociology as well -- especially now that the web provides huge amounts of behavioral data.

I much prefer how machine learning folks tend to approach predictive accuracy, though I guess that's not quite the same as understanding relationships between specific variables while controlling for others.
Because "Why not?" is not a reason to believe something. Cars also cause the ground to shake. So do sledgehammers. Not everything that sometimes causes the ground to shake will cause the Yellowstone Caldera to erupt.

Fracking is associated with relatively small earthquakes. But relatively small earthquakes happen in the area of Yellowstone all the time, so that doesn't necessarily seem alarming.

The thing is, this isn't, as you requested, "reasoning suggesting that we aren't going to trigger the Yellowstone Supervolcano with fraking". But it's also not "just being sarcastic". What I'm pointing out is that we have no logical reason to believe we are going to make Yellowstone explode with fracking. Until there is evidence that something will cause Yellowstone to erupt, it's kind of weird to be asked to argue positively that it won't.
Here's Rust:

let total = (1..).map(|x| x*x).take(10).fold(0, |acc, x| acc+x);

You could replace the fold with ".sum()" if you use the unstable std::iter::AdditiveIterator. Or you could incorporate the squaring map into the fold, but then we're no longer comparing the same thing.
One alternative would be seizing unused addresses (as they are supposed to be) and auctioning them off. Repeating every so often if they're still unused.

This would raise prices (in the event that is really desired) while avoiding squatting and rent seeking.
So your theory is that they covered it up so no one will talk about Snowden? That doesn't make sense.
Oh ok. I retract that argument, then.

Though one thing I will still mention is panning. While you're panning, at sufficiently high framerates you're still effectively having 1 pixel for every 2. (Look at what happens when you draw a one-pixel-width horizontal line. In general, with non-integer position, it'll take up 2 pixels high, in some proportion.)

Still not an argument for quite as high as 4k though.
Can you also change the title to "An Error Occurred Setting Your User Cookie"?
Maybe it's just me, but I fail to see how all those project make the developer/devops person's life less complex. I don't have the experience to have managed a cluster of 1000s of machines but I HAVE managed a cluster of ~50 nodes with MySQL, ElasticSearch, RabbitMQ, ZeroMQ, PHP, Clojure and the whole gang at various points in time. I am yet to see a single project (Mesos, Kubernetes, Docker, whatever) that would DRAMATICALLY make my life so much better. Not trying to be overly negative here, just looking for answers and better solutions.

EDIT
I also continuously wonder how do things like Ansible fit into the picture. Are they competitors? Are they supplemental to the likes of Mesos/Kubernetes? Are they orthogonal?
