The suggestion is for an illegal device, no need for licenses in that case ;)

The easiest way would be to extract the pint glass graphic over the wire (sitting in middle of the HDMI cable the set top box to the TV) then transmitting that to other establishments and overlaying that graphic in between the set top box and the TV (the best bit is that you wouldn't even need to decrypt the video, just overlay the graphic).
I think most people who use debian would tend to install things using debian packages, which in this case usually means adding cloudera to your apt sources list and using apt-get.

It is a pretty straightforward process:

Reminds me of when German politicians were told by their advertising agencies that they should try to copy Obama's success in social media.

Resulting in a ton of cringe-worthy YouTube videos and managed twitter accounts and Facebook pages for politicians who think the Internet is "new" and still print out their e-mails.

For some reason European politicians talking about technology is often a lot like parents trying to come across as "cool" to their teenage kids. It just doesn't work and is a humiliating and disturbing experience for everyone involved.

There are some who get it right, mind you, but generally those in charge simply don't care about technology and see no reason to educate themselves (other than by listening to lobbyists who offer them shrink-wrapped opinions and soundbites).

Congratulations, it looks like you are one of the top sysadmins at your country.

Misleading options and unnecessary inconsistencies should be frowned upon. They make it harder to learn a system and learning a system should be made as easy as possible. I'd consider consistency in regards to option availability, effect and syntax a top priority.

Agricultural societies completely trounced hunting societies. Hunting has been mostly sport in all but far corners of humanity for thousands of years. Humans have been raising cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, llamas, and other animals for food (and other things) since even before plant agriculture.

And if you can't till the land efficiently, sheep and cattle are a very efficient use of it. If you can, having pigs and chickens eat the plant waste is also very efficient.

> it's the sysadmin's responsibility to insist on production deployments

What decade are you from? No startups are hiring sysadmins to do any kind of work anymore. They're hiring "dev-ops" people, which seems to mean "Amateur $popularLanguage developer that deployed on AWS this one time."

That's the whole problem with the dev-ops ecosystem. None of these dev-ops people seem to have any ops experience.

People have an explicitly cultivated faith in the watch guards. Cop shows on TV promote an image of competency and good will. That's not what it's like in the real world, but even in this forum, you find people being way too deferential.
When using Haskell it feels like I more clearly have to deal with those not-strongly-types-environment issues. I have to write some interface code (which surely takes some "extra" time) to pull un-strong into Haskell; but then the unstronglyness is represented strongly in Haskell types and has to be dealt with accordingly. This reduces funny bugs that may otherwise arise when overseeing corner cases.

Main hometaker: it's like in Haskell I have to do more work up-front, to enjoy much better productivity down the road.
But lisp/Clojure actually holds no real advantage in this area. Javascript, Ruby, Perl, Python, etc. all have built in lists and list-of-lists (ie, trees). They all have map, filter, etc. to manipulate their native lists and hashes/objects/maps in similar ways to lisp/Clojure.

http://jsml.org is just one example (Javascript). I know similar things exist in Perl and I'm sure Ruby and Python have them as well. If not, it's literally something you can write in a couple hours.
Perhaps so, but lifetimes are not infinite. Even if every resource is theoretically acquirable by every person, what for some people would just be a trivial first step toward the ultimate goal would count for other people as a lifetime task in itself.

My greybeard ISP unix boss in the late 90's taught me that if it's worth getting sued over, it's worth sending your /var/log/auth.log to a printer that can print line-by-line (a line printer).
I completely agree with this except I think of it more as a problem of release engineering rather than system administration.

The trouble is, the sysadmin's job is to deploy things. The developers job is to write code. Often release engineering isn't thought of at all or if it is it's given to the last qualified or least suspecting folks without any requirement from operations.

Developers aren't taught about release engineering or deployment in school at all. In fact, it seems to me most university curricula do everything possible to hide all that from students.

Compounding that is the developers desire to get new code out conflicting with the sysadmins requirement to keep things stable in the face of limited QA automation. This leads to the common conflict between dev and ops.

This is to me a large part of what has led to the DevOps movement. This gives the developers information about the deployment and perhaps even access to it or a version of it and/or a voice in deciding how things are deployed.

Hopefully we can standardize things widely enough that universities can teach this without fear of focusing on useless technologies that will be discarded in 3-5 years.

> Learn to document your successes and be able to verbally communicate why anything you do is important or useful to less technical users.

And on the software engineer/developer side of things the same applies. This is why whenever I am given a self-assessment or asked to help with a review of myself, I go back through my git log, email, etc. looking for what I've done instead of just attempting to summarize based on memory. Then I keep a personal copy of my self-assessment. That way, I have a record of what I did, and so does my company. Wikis, file servers, and other document repositories change, and when you switch jobs, you have that available to look at to update your resume. If your company doesn't make you do at least annual and hopefully quarterly self-assessments, you should do it on your own.

It's not "invite only". It's just a trick to seem exclusive. They have an automated email go out a few minutes after you request an invite that gives you instructions on how to sign up that seems like it's coming from an actual person (unless I'm mistaken, in which case whoever is managing these invites is superhuman).

I think it was that this guy traded to "cause" instability, by placing bogus futures trades that were basically the value of the entire order book for those futures.

If you have a Level II stock data feed, you can view the order book for particular stocks, and similar data is available for futures from CME group.

As an example, a friend of mine day trades Tesla stock (& options) and basically a swing trade, has figured out if the stock cycles down by a few cents, and they put a relatively large order at a certain price. The market sees the trade with a higher price and the stock increases. This has resulted in some large profits for swing trades, somewhat due to believing in Tesla's fundamentals and in Elon Musk. Some institutional investors don't share my friends views, and trade Tesla stock down. It is legal because the trade was made in good faith, and not trying to "deceive" the market using bogus trades.

In traditional HFT, the legal justification for fast trades that in some cases were never intended to be filled, is murky at best. As long as the market stays reasonably stable and the big boys profit, the complaints are somewhat muted.

A friend in the same group, who also trades Tesla, was on the console during the flash crash. It was "obvious" that these automated trade bots were unloading, and there was not major news (eg. GM bankruptcy) to justify the sudden price drop in specific stocks. Her console showed "black swan" type data, and she switched to an option trade as stocks caught up in the flash event wouldn't stay down for long. The options that were "out of the money" (almost worthless) became valuable when the stocks rebounded.

What caused the actual flash crash (triggered by futures trades or not) was a phenomenon called "exponential backoff" with a large automated trading bot closing out its trades, triggered by stocks below a certain price, causing downward pressure on the stocks, and the market. Another automated trade bot sees this, and also closes out its position. This automated close out then occurs exponentially, and the market goes into a "death spiral" crash.

Note: I do not own stock in Tesla. I'm not a stock broker and this is not investment advice.
I have an solution for you - instead of in real time trade in rounds every minute or ten or even only once an hour. Now everyone has some time to think about his decisions. And the real world doesn't change much within a couple of minutes so no need to worry that you can not react to events in a timely manner.

It seems like the success of this has to come down to some kind of quality-of-life value-add that is only realizable in homes.

Like how Tesla Model S's get their owners access to luxury, HOV lanes, and public environmental bragging rights (presumably the buyers of a $100k car aren't trying to save money on gas).

Otherwise, like some have noted, why wouldn't the utilities themselves do the storage and avoid the round-trip power transmission losses?

The thing is, in the US, power outages are pretty rare and fixed pretty quickly, so bridging outages doesn't seem like a major selling point. If the customer really is the homeowner, I'm still wondering what the big life-value-add is. It's not like home battery storage market has a luxury segment that can be initially targeted as the Model S is in the car market. And

And I don't think that Elon is targeting geeks who want to set up power arbitrage schemes in their homes.

EDIT: final point added.
Agreed, but the competition there is much lower, if anything else because the US states have much less power than the EU states - they cannot compete, for example, on the Social Security system.

Ok, thanks. That wasn't entirely clear from google's French translation.

However you still have to download the dodgy app in the first place. There's a lot of bad stuff that apps can do if you give them permission. This is just a case of a bad app downloading another bad app (perhaps with slightly more permissions).

In the grand scheme of things it doesn't really make much difference -- all apps now request a whole bunch of permissions that most people don't really even care which permissions are being asked for. You really just need to trust the app that you're downloading.

Are we really this Myopic?

Americans think that they deserve a certain standard of living. Why? Why do you deserve it? I don't see a good answer to this.

For a country emphasizing competition and capitalism so much, I find it hilarious when Americans start complaining about being out-competed (by other countries or by college grads or by smarter people).

The reality is that, in society, not everyone can get everything. The real issue is with glamorizing excessive profits.

Also, we can't expect only the good parts of globalization. If we want $10 t-shirts made by a worker in Bangladesh, we had better be prepared to lose the job to them. They are doing it cheaper and better than entitled us.

There's a solution! Tax the rich (and corporations) more and redistribute wealth in a fair way that creates more local opportunities, but we know where this discussion goes.
The plans described are a good start, but what I think we need is more a mentality change than anything else.

Starting a tech company in Europe is, usually, easy enough. The paperwork is more complex and expensive than in the US, but easy enough to navigate.

Looking at the startup hubs in Europe (London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Dublin...), getting early stage or seed money is also relatively easy. But we find the first difference with the US here.

Getting a bit of money is easy enough, maybe something below 500K€ is feasible. But there's no way you are going to get the valuations and the money raised by similar startups in the valley.

Most VCs here are pretty risk-averse, so that's an extra hurdle, but there's a lot of other VC operating on both sides of the ocean that are sometimes more approachable and the networks of angel investors work really well.

For me, the real problem is growth. Converting a startup into a big company requires a lot of changes. Sometimes the founders are able to step up their game and continue to run the big company, but more often than not you need senior executives, people that have done this before and have the set of skills, knowledge and contacts to manage a big monster.

There's plenty of people with those skills in Europe, but the mentality is totally different from the US. In the US you can find one of these guys that is bored, contemplating retirement and sees this process as an exciting opportunity. In Europe is more common for these people to be afraid of losing their position.

All this IMHO, of course and based of my experiences.

By the way, I find it funny that the article talks about simplifying tax structures just after they've approved MOSS, which is a headache for most companies selling virtual goods.

SimpleDB is deprecated, more expensive than DDB, and kind of weird to use. Backing your keystore with a deprecated service just sounds like a road to many sleepless nights ;)

The utility does depend on three external services: DynamoDB, KMS, and IAM (for permissioning). This might sound like a lot, but the target usecase for something like this is a fleet running in the cloud. If you're already running in EC2, then using IAM roles to distribute AWS creds is a no-brainer and very simple. KMS and DDB are also not arduous things to depend on if you're already in the cloud.

For credstash, you need to set up your KMS key (and set whatever policies around it make sense for you). Once you do that, there's nothing to manage. Sure, you depend on DDB, but credstash creates the table for you, and unless you need to dial up more throughput (which is a mouse-click operation), you never have to touch it.

I don't consider packaging to be a sysadmin task. On any sane OS (i.e. anything not Linux/BSD), packaging is done by the upstream developers. That doesn't happen on Linux because of the culture of unstable APIs and general inconsistencies between distributions, but for my current app, I am providing DEBs and woe betide the distro developer who thinks it's a good idea to repackage things themselves ...
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I don't see what's wrong with copying, to be honest. People copy successful business models and best practices all the time-- some even write books about it. And a belief that's long held in tech circles is that ideas are worth nothing, and that execution is what matters. To give credit to Xiaomi, they're setting up themselves a very high bar when they set out to imitate Apple. Google tried it with its initial launch of Android, and if it weren't for M Duarte joining Google in the wake of Palm falling apart, who knows how Android would have looked today. In developing countries, to be able to own a phone that looks ever so similar to iPhone but costs a fraction of the cost is an instant hit. It results in a very good business [0].

I'd give you another example: Flipkart, in its early days, had a website that looked very much like Amazon's. They've since carved out their own identity and were among top 20 well designed apps on iOS Appstore last year (one of the many India-based apps to make the list) [1].

UX is another prime example of how often companies copy each other. Steve Jobs once famously quoted Picasso "Good artists copy, great artists steal" [2] Copying is rampant in the software side of the industry... websites look alike, marketing emails look alike, business models look alike, approaches to solve problems are alike... I am not trying to argue that Xiaomi is anywhere near Google or Apple, what I am saying is that they might just get there or thereabouts; or someone else might outside of the SV.
