Thanks! The wording wasn't clear to me even though I reread it a couple times.

Though people do talk about their experience on phone screens so that gives an indication of their age. But if the age was a problem you'd think they just wouldn't give him a phone screen (of course there is the aforementioned alleged "not reading the resume" too)
This is what we've done. Start with Rails behind nginx, add varnish caching when needed, redis when needed, node (or golang or w/e) when necessary for the real time bits, etc.

Get's a bit messy with all these moving parts, but I think that's the just the nature of large projects. Elixir + Phoenix looks interesting though...
Seems that they are using AWS profits to fund other parts of the business. I would guess that would negate any benefits to a spinoff.
"If your only explanation for an auditory hallucination is that you must be going crazy and you have to fight it, you’re going to develop a very different relationship to your illness"

This is really the key idea. It reminds me of the story of Eleanor Longden [1], a psychological researcher who has heard voices for years and has come to learn to live with them. "Mental illness/health" is a powerful meme that isn't always for the best.

Not parent but I'd guess they are talking about OpenStack but if they are they are wrong. Running a data center is no easy or cheap task. Sure you might have SOME of the logistics cut out for you using OpenStack but the barriers to entry are still VERY high.
Cool service, I'll likely use it for our next EV.

Some thoughts:

1. Add details on re-issuing. Heartbleed, sha1 -> sha2, etc. It happens now and then. Useful to know if there is a charge etc.

2. Mention Certificate Transparency (I guess you are covered here, if you use DigiCert).

3. Pricing on adding multiple names to a multi-domain EV, e.g. 5 or 10.

Not all resources will be non-scarce, though, so this kind of one-size-fits-all thinking is misleading.

Nor are all alternatives to capitalism socialism. Socialism is also known to have very severe problems in application, particularly how to incentivize socialist managers to behave like capitalist ones in most circumstances, driving innovation and maximizing productivity. Socialist managers have somewhat different contstraints on them from capitalist managers, and nominally different long-term goals, but they are more similar than you might think.

The thing is: we know how to make capitalism work in a range of varieties, from the Scandanavian social democracies to the mess that's Texas. We have never seen a successful system of public ownership of the means of production (which is what socialism is, and nothing else). It has been tried in a variety of places and times, and it has always run up against fundamental problems of managerial incentives and political corruption at levels that make most capitalist political economies look pretty good (which is saying something!)

So looking for non-socialist means of distributing wealth in a society that is unequally post-scarce is a good idea. Today wealth is distributed almost exclusively through paid work, but that is a relatively recent invention. I'm not suggesting a return to feudalism or anything like it, but think we should be willing to consider variations in social order that are at least that large-scale, because the difference between what is coming and industrial capitalism is going to be at least as big as the difference between industrial capitalism and the semi-feudal societies that preceded it in many places.
How does this disprove what I'm trying to say?
Thats not the question.

Yes, AWS is way ahead of the other cloud providers in every way.

- Solar photo-voltaic is or is about to be the cheapest form of electricity, we will solve the storage problem

- Electric cars are getting closer to the tipping point, and they are going to drive themselves

- Biotech is making incredible gains, see cancer immunotherapy or NSI-189

- The pace of technological innovation has accelerated and continues

- The intellectual capital of the human race has never been anywhere near this large, free, accessible

- Robots/a lot of weak AI is or is about to get to a point to change the game
then maybe you will be interested in PHP - it has good RAII and I use it in one lib for resources control and mutexes.

Reminds me of this talk https://youtu.be/21j_OCNLuYg and also happens to be my current mid-range goal. I've worked on a farm, gardened, and raised chickens growing up and I'm dead set on doing it again, the amount of work that goes into it vs. the amount of food and enjoyment that you get out of it makes it a no brainer if you can take the leap and buy a plot. Construction begins this summer and I couldn't be happier.
It really is concurrent and at a fundamental level, eg: it's supported in the VM. The JVM does not support it. It's not a language feature that simulates concurrency and it's not throwing the baby out with the bathwater and just using events (node.js).

The book recommended by the other replyer is probably good. I'd also suggest you check out Joe Armstrongs thesis or his ProgPRog book "Learning Erlang".

There are many necessary things to do things right. It's not a single feature. Erlang the language, the VM, the OTP platform are a collection of all these choices...

You can define nested functions in C# in for form of lambdas or anonymous delegates. Admittedly, it's still not quite as pretty as it could be because we don't get to use automatic type propogation (e.g. the `var` keyword).

It might be better to call this Low Probability Doom-- indeed, it's deterministic, but so would changing the random number generator to a counter.

in the style of Drake equation: $1.5B/quarter, supposedly 1/3 of it is billed CPU time, at $1/hour per one 1U computer, at 500 hours billed per quarter per computer we have 1M computers - at 40 boxes per rack we have 25K racks, at 50 racks/row it would be 500 rows, at 50 rows per "warehouse" it will be 10 "warehouses". The storage money and racks i'd suppose is comparable to CPU boxes in numbers. So in result it would be 10 "warehouses" of 50 rows of 100 racks.

They do exactly what you think they do - they help CRUD - create, read, update and delete information.

Combined with engineering, there's some very interesting ways to do all those things. For example statistics on such a big scale were very hard until the internet became so widespread.

The folks who brag and tell you they make great money and don't do shit all - it's just ego tripping. Really, I've seen it a thousand times - somebody of moderate intelligence and no desire or ability to do anything creative or interesting, will sweat his/her way through university and then gloat over what an awesome position in company X he/she now has.

Really, it can be frustrating if you are in financial difficulty but rest assured, those who do the real work and are savvy enough to not get taken advantage of, will come out on top. The fella bragging about not doing much is going to continue not doing much and best case scenario - he/she cruises through life with a nice salary, having done the bare minimum.

Meh.
No, they could get billions to fund the rest of the business with by selling it. It would be a huge IPO. Potentially wirth more than the profits.
Thanks Sandstrom! All excellent suggestions, I'll post back here when they're complete. FYI reissuing is free, but I'll add that (and details) to the FAQ.
"It would also seek to restore the honorable lineage of the university as one of the few arenas in modern society (another is the arts) in which prevailing ideologies can be submitted to some rigorous scrutiny."

Then the battle is lost, because universities, at least in the USA, are the home of "free speech areas" and not letting people speak who a group disagrees with. When people are talking about "safe areas" to protect students from words spoken by a speaker, then criticism is dead. Political parties have more diversity of allowed thought. STEM is often criticized as unwelcoming, but humanities has become a place of "agree with me" or be condemned.

If you didn't forge your ideas in the fire of criticism at university, then you were cheated by others or yourself. The best teachers will make you argue both / multiple sides of a scenario and be offended that you parroted their opinion back to them. The worst teachers only see one valid way to think and are doing "missionary work" instead of teaching.

> It's also a kick in the gut to efforts to fix the shortcomings of ECMAScript like ES6 [1].

irony alert: Brendan Eich has said publicly that CoffeeScript was the impetus for several of the features that made it into ES-6, like fat arrows.

Without CoffeeScript, lots of people wouldn’t have known that they wanted some of the things that are in ES-6.

As it is, you don’t need CoffeeScript to develop for Atom. Which is part of the beauty of CoffeeScript. It’s interoperable with what you’re doing today.

I have read every scrap of reporting on age discrimination in the Valley that I can find. The idea that my age will be a detriment to me in the coming decade is viscerally real for me.

It is also mind-boggling that age discrimination would be going in this direction. In industries like mfg. and oil and gas, the gray beard is a sign of status. I would not be offended at ALL if I was beaten out of a position by an equal candidate 20 years my senior. I'd be honored to have similar qualifications.

Just a single anecdotal counter-point to your stereotype. "They" covers quite a few people in your comment.
How can I tell if a string repeats itself in Python?
I doubt it, AWS wills be one of the few profitable bright spots in amazons earnings calls. Clearly they're interested in developing it further and making it a key part of their business. Generally companies spin of areas if it's outside of their core business.
Out of curiosity, what is the things you need to do to make that possible?
No, but it is part of the reason for its popularity.

I think it's silly that we have a generation of programmers who are unwilling to learn a language without a C or Ruby like syntax.

But I must admit that I find Elixir easier to read and more comfortable than Erlang.
I must say that I agree, and I'm personally _very_ fond of their business model.

Having the articles become free no matter what, and having articles of a level of quality that they _Repeatedly_ get referenced in papers on computer science, is a great feat.

Are there any other magazines online that have a good, weekly/bi-weekly posting schedule of multiple, high-quality and on-topic articles? I've seen ones related to photography, but not that have the same focus and high quality as LWN.
It's certainly sad that several innocents have been killed by a drone strike.

If they spin it off, it likely wouldn't IPO, Amazon would be the only stock holder. All profits from AWS are already factored into Amazon's stock price, another IPO would be unnecessary

The datacenters is also just part of it. All that software is itself part of the deal. That said, people could build competing services to some AWS products right on top of AWS' own services...
Obama also made sure to kill a 16-year old nephew.
Essentially, yes.

In ARC, all strong pointers may have multiple owners. In C++11 RAII, the typical, defining use is for single owners (std::unique_ptr) but multiple owners are supported too (std::shared_ptr).

In ARC, local pointers may be reclaimed before their scope ends, if the compiler determines no further use of the pointer. In C++11 RAII, all such resources are reclaimed only at scope end.

ARC is not exception-safe by default, you have to compile with -fobjc-arc-exceptions to make it exception safe; however Apple standards have been moving away from using exceptions for recoverable conditions for some time now. C++11 RAII is of course exception-safe by default, it's one of the rationales behind the technique.
I hope Google gets cleaned out and set the example for the rest of the startup industry.

Worker Visa wouldn't be needed as much if older workers were given a fair chance in recruitment process.

I am sick of hearing tech industry boasting about their diversity. They mean diversity in color and culture. But when it comes to age, it's not a diverse environment.
Markets have intrinsic damping - long term traders. If you didn't believe that Accenture was really worth $0.03/share during the flash crash, you could come in and buy it up for cheap, then make a huge profit after the flash crash resolved (in the unlikely event your trades weren't broken [1]).

In short, the damping mechanism in markets is that anyone who believes the price is wrong can come in, buy/sell/short and push markets back to the right place. Which is exactly why the flash crash fixed itself. I know a human trader who missed the entire flash crash due to an ill timed bathroom break.

[1] US markets will retroactively break "clearly erroneous trades".

This isn't a dissertation. It's HN. Not every last thing needs a citation.

This is neat... since Doom is open source, why not make the binaries available for a quick romp?

I don't know the answer to the following questions, but I'll take wild guesses:

1. Were Madoff's regulators fired? (My guess: they weren't, it wasn't even weighed as a realistic option by whoever should fire them.)

2. Was there an investigation into whether they were bribed, as there should be when someone is so spectacularly incompetent at their job that it's hard to reconcile with having the mental skills necessary to get the job in the first place? (My bet: there was no investigation whatsoever.)
Nit: I think that should be 1-(1-.0.27)^25 ~= 0.5. Obviously it ends up being about 1/2 either way, but you're measuring the chance that you used one of the nodes, not that you avoided all of them.
Age discrimination worried me a lot when I was in my 20s, and I really don't get the feeling that most young people have some delusion that they'll never get old. Whatever is going on, I really don't think it's based on a general prejudice from 20 somethings toward anyone over 40. I don't have a cite, so this is just a hunch, but my guess is that age discrimination is more driven by execs who are the same age as the more experienced programmers, not from the younger programmers.

Care to elaborate? It seems like you know the answer to my question =]

For example, how is EC2 much better than GCE, if it is. (I realize you didn't imply that it was; this comparison just seems the most interesting to me)
The Turbo Chameleon looks pretty awesome. It's kind of everything you'd want to expand a C64, including an SD card drive, keyboard jack, VGA output (with scan doubler)...but, it also has the ability to act as a C64 (or Amiga, or Spectrum, or Atari 800XL) standalone. Really clever.

I have a C64 with a MSSIAH cartridge, which I've occasionally used for music. But, my SD card drive was destroyed in a tragic vacuum cleaner accident, so I don't have any way to do much other than use MSSIAH on the machine (no way to save or load things).

So, the Turbo Chameleon actually might be sufficient for my needs. And, maybe the FPGA on board can be made to run the C65 emulator, as well. I'd like it if the MSSIAH folks made a port to work on the C65; that'd be awesome. The MSSIAH can already use dual SID chips, but I haven't done the soldering to add a second SID to my C64 yet (and I'm vaguely afraid to do that, since I only have one C64 and no parts machines, so if I break it, it's back to ebay to find one of the few remaining functional units).
CIA pays a lot?
Who actually needs the extra security? 112 bits of security is enough for everyone, bar none. If you have a 2^32 processors and they can crack 32 bits of encryption every second (unreasonable in each case), then it's still going to take you 9 million years before you can crack it.

If someone finds a new attack, it'd invalidate that number, but it could just as easily break any RSA based system, and it's not thought that such an attack is on the horizon at the moment (I think), or known by any entity (government or otherwise).

Meanwhile the performance difference is measurable and considerable; it's 10% of your loadtime if you're targeting 250ms.

I don't get why people set their security levels so high at all; it's like getting alien abduction insurance or downloading a bootlegged film in uncompressed AVI.
Also, I'd consider changing the name. It took me a mere ~10 min to forget the domain, and I tried googling simple cert only to end on `simplecert.co`.

Could be my bad memory, but perhaps there is another name, that would be more memorable? Your current is a mix of two pretty generic words -- it's reminds me of General Atlantic[1], only that you'd like yours to actually be memorable :)

> Eight years later, it's more than clear that YouTube was a steal for Google at $1.65 billion. It's worth 10+ times that today.

A 10x valuation still puts it at less than WhatsApp. If WhatsApp is worth $19b, then I'd wager that Youtube should be worth significantly more.

EDIT: I'll expand with a few dot points

- Youtube has an unimaginably huge content library

- Youtube has a solid monetization strategy

- Barrier to entry is significantly higher than a messaging app

- Youtube is even more synonymous with video streaming than WhatsApp is with messaging (anecdotally, my grandparents use Youtube. They don't even have smartphones, let alone WhatsApp).

This post was not about boats; it's about li-ion batteries in general. We learned the lessons when developing our outboard motor battery pack, but the batteries we're using are the same cells used in laptops, and the same chemistry as used in cellphones, tablets, etc.

There is no specific charge level at which battery use becomes costly. It's just more costly to charge the higher the voltage to which you charge. Of course, overcharging (over the rated voltage) is extremely costly (and dangerous). Under that level, the device maker has to make an arbitrary choice about how to balance cycle life with calendar life, and that choice is usually near (but not at) top voltage.

Our tests have found that charging a cell to 80% instead of 90% can extend its life by more than 50% under the same conditions of use, sometimes much more (lots of factors: charge/discharge rates, temperature, time between cycles, etc.). I'm sure no cellphone/tablet maker is limiting charge to 80%.
I agree that humanities are not worthless, but I think I (and the author) would probably agree on what that utility is: the university is where people think delicate thoughts, and essentially lead the rest of us in how we think about a person, an era, a trend, a concept. The humanities are all about perception, and there is infinite newness to be gleaned from looking at every part of history, which is only very partially (in both senses) recorded. The humanities are, collectively, our imperfect attempt to define a consensus of what happened, what it meant, and why a new perspective might be important (or at least interesting) to modern people. (And since humanities people are happy to trigger off of other humanities people, we wouldn't even need any new events, history, or art to keep the machine going; it would just endlessly rehash it's own interpretations endlessly.)
We have Datacenter OS's, Application Layers, Docker, Containers, but still two building blocks aren't done yet, first storage outside the cloud, or a storage layer on top of multiple clouds which scales good and also works on your own datacenter, similar to swift and ceph or hdfs but way easier to use (as easy as docker).

Also we couldn't scale out SQL Databases that easy. They are still a pain in the ass.

Also some building blocks are yet missing from Containers.
1. Layers that you could easily attach to a container, like a external Logger.
2. Configuration / Environment management on top of containers, something like archaius from netflix just for docker.
