Family Is More Important Than Equity
Mobile is big. But so are servers. I read America's energy budget is 1% server farms, which makes it scary big.

So I'm not so sure industrial devices plus mobile adds up to that. Any figures you can share?

I get why they called it the Surface Hub but I initially assumed that it would be a docking station for a Surface tablet.
Isn't that the same approach that Docker originally took with the Docker Hub Registry, where you can pull down pre-packaged monolithic images (albeit small ones if needed) via "docker pull ..."?[1]

I think this was important quote from the article:
"LXD is more like an “OS container” while Docker and rkt are more like “application containers.”"

Asking a support question on a feature announcement post for a completely unrelated product is EXTREMELY off topic.
I will also have to write normal views for it. I just would like some easy system for pluging those views all together nicely for, without having to do it myself. Also some extra stuff to take care of permissions when doing that.
I eventually I think I will have to write my own such system to get what I want.
I just got angrier when I realized that no hippopotami were available in this so-called 'sale'.
All of the below examples aside, why not? Why should your wanting to hide something be any more sinister than what you want for dinner? And if you yourself don't have anything to hide, awesome. Is it not worth protecting my right to hide things should I want or need to?

There are many reasons to desire privacy other than wanting or needing to hide something. The existence of this site does not invalidate those. But one great technique, when someone holds a rhetorical gun to your head, is to just reach up and pluck out the bullets, reclaiming and sanitizing the opposition argument. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." "Guess what, I do have things to hide, and that shouldn't get stigmatized."
As a cheap-ass student I survived on soup. A can of soup is a bit over a dollar for the kinds that have stuff (veggies, pasta and meat) in them, you can heat it up on a stove and have a "meal" ready in a few minutes.

I wouldn't have qualms about doing it again. It was probably more expensive than buying fresh, but the time investment was low, it tasted way better than any frozen dinner, and it was way cheaper than doing any takeout.
It is the response to the argument that "If you don't have something to hide, you shouldn't mind having your rights trampled on" with the attendant presumption that anyone with something to hide must be a criminal or a T7t.
I've been looking forward to this for ages! The solution we use at the moment for upsert is a create or replace rule on the table but it isn't great as you need to remember to update the rule whenever you change the table schema...

CREATE OR REPLACE RULE "replace_row" AS
ON INSERT TO my_table
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM my_table WHERE id=NEW.id)
DO INSTEAD
(UPDATE my_table SET
col1=NEW.col1,
col2=NEW.col2,
col3=NEW.col3,
WHERE id=NEW.id);
disclaimer : I work in that group

I enjoy working on new businesses and products that follow the approach described by the op.

one of the things we argue about occasionally is how far you can go with and concept before you start actually selling the product?
To the extent that we haven't started taking $ for something ..how valid is user feedback? ( obviously non-fremium approaches )

would be nice to chat with others here on hn trying to do startup style incubation inside established companies.
I agree. I constantly see advice of the form, "You just need to insist on being paid what you're worth", as if a furrowed brow and a firm handshake can make just anyone able to charge enormous amounts.

To be sure, for some freelancers, timidity in asking for more is holding them back, but it has to be combined with an honest self-assessment of how much you could reasonably ask for.
The article makes it sound like Tiversa hacked LabMD deliberately in order to blackmail them. While that is possible, the article doesn't mention how, and it doesn't mention that the files were supposedly found on LimeWire. Terrible journalism.
Yet this deal likely has little to do with reaching consumers, but rather tapping into the state’s vast supply of auto parts suppliers.

They're indirectly making a link between Michigan jobs and Tesla's success. As Tesla gets bigger it'll make that law look like it's holding Michigan's manufacturing industry back rather than helping the state's car sellers defend their businesses. People care about manufacturing jobs a lot more than retailers.
Title is misleading.

Given that you can patent without implementing, and unimplemented patents can leave you open to lawsuits, organizations are forced to patent everything they they may want to do someday.
This may be the case, but I've seen some pretty bad code in my time. We should all strive to create more maintainable and efficient code.
ADS-B isn't so much that it keeps 'your' plane from colliding with another one.

It's used to keep other planes away from you.

If there's an ADS-B broadcast for a specific location, then the autopilot on all other airplanes will automatically avoid that location.
My understanding is that the quad rotor configuration is more stable at low reynolds numbers, but I'm not a rotary wing expert.
We use slack. When we want someone's attention, we send them a private message. It sits there until they are ready to deal with it, or they respond, setting up a time to meet.

"When I first started, I charged less than $100/hour."

Clearly some of them were on very different paths than me. I taught myself and charging anything over $30/hour would have been deceitful. I couldn't imagine delivering that much value when I was starting.

It was not meant as a support question. It was in the context of MERGE/UPSERT was I asking. I wanted to know if similar thing happens in PG.
I don't clutter my phone with every single airline's app, electronic boarding passes often don't list the gate and never reflect status changes, and I don't get text updates when I'm traveling for work because our corporate booking system helpfully hard-codes my office phone in the contact information.

Besides, even when the stars line up and my phone really does reliably give me updates on the flight status, digging it out of my pocket, unlocking it, etc is more hassle than glancing at a status board as I walk past.
Windows 10 Is the Last Version of Windows (Supposedly)
The book you linked has examples of macros being used for writing a music database, parsing binary files, a unit testing framework, and several other things I haven't reached yet. Those are much better examples of macros than basic control structures. The 'dolist' form is a toy example.
My friend with a helicopter license felt cheated the first time he flew a plane and discovered how easy it was.
Are You Focussing on the Right Things?
Simplicity and cost. At its most basic form a quadcopter is just two sticks, 4 motors with four speed controllers a flight controller and a battery. [1] if crashed they are easily repaired. a single rotor helicopter on the other had is more mechanically complex, more fragile and more expensive to repair. The reason they became popular was that different technologies (battery, ESCs, flight controllers) all aligned and some very good work was put into open source software to control them lowering the barrier to entry.

Look at the power consumption: without USB, the Pi needs just one Watt. If the Intel that you compared to used more than 15 Watts, the Pi was better per Watt. And in some uses you care about performance per Watt, like when you have a smartphone. That's why ARM rules there.
A patent isn't necessarily what someone will implement. It's just one possible embodiment.
I'd argue back that if we're suddenly in a high stress situation where I need to divine the requirements are, I'd ask what the hell were the project managers, requirements analysts, scrum masters, etc, all doing before this point?
Everyone seems to be missing a huge market for these: Schools.

I can see it improving the collaborative learning experience. But in my opinion, this makes remote teaching in first world schools a viable possibility.

Around 2002 two german guys set the path for today's quadcopters. They built the X-UFO and developed the X-3D and X-3D-BL sensors [1], which for the first time enabled amazing control capabilities for the still rather unknown quadcopters [2]. This led to the first success stories and the market kind of jumped on the train. Media did it's job and here we are. Technology has advanced a lot since then [3, 4]. Better and smaller sensors and microprocessors. More sophisticated materials and design, production and marketing processes. This surely played a big role as well, now that consumer market UAVs and flying toys can be produced quite cheaply. Also various open source projects popped up and nowadays even beginners can build and program their own quadcopter and PID controller.

As for helicopter vs. quadcopter - The latter is much simpler to fly, especially with autopilots and control units such as the X-3D or today's AscTec Trinity. Also safety for consumer products is an issue, where quadcopters with their embedded propellers have the bonus. And its omni-directional nature of movement yields more freedom and fun, especially as a toy.

I've always thought Apple's missing a huge opportunity by not releasing 30-40 inch iPads. Think about it: ultimate tabletop gaming, makes smartboards obsolete, interactive movable secondary television, revolutionary sign/kiosk system, ideal office workstation, innumerable app-enabled uses...
Give it time. While the number of watch supporting apps is large, the apps designed specifically for watch have just barely started to appear. So judging its usefulness now is making a premature call with insufficient information.
Just saw that, thanks for the link. I stand corrected, I hadn't personally seen them stay very still in a hover before, maybe it was operator inexperience.
John McWhorter: Txtng is killing language. JK
Agreed.

Also: I'm gonna go ahead and say that statements about what "Millennials" want/do/buy/are/read/smell/eat/whatever are about as dumb as any other kind of blanket statement.

The only consistent parts of the various definitions of "millennials" I've heard are "human" and "younger than the person making the claim".
Reality backs this up, a stunt pilot more or less decapitated himself with a heli a while back and while I've seen plenty of rough multicopter injuries ranging from bruises to lacerations I'm not aware of anyone who has managed to kill themselves with one... yet.

We are lucky that our customers care deeply about our availability, so feature work/improving the infrastructure is the same thing most of the time.

As for fostering the culture, part of it is that we perform post-mortems on all outages and measure the customer impact. Many of our problems do not have textbook answers, so the post-mortems become a cave diving exercise to find the answer. We have to build our own answers, and sometimes, like this one, build our own workarounds.
"The biggest issues I think are going to be: the market share of W7 and under, and cost."

If they make W10 easily deployable (no friggin cloud sign-on) and it is not a training hassle compared to W8, then I see adoption going up quite nicely.
Fly Fishing, more than a hobby it quickly turns into a philosophy...a way of life. You become a protector of nature, your surroundings. It has many facets, if you want to do delicate work with your hands you can pickup fly tying, fly casting can be a highly technical sport on it's own. And then there's al the trickery of the dozens of fly fishing styles and techniques...

If you want a good excuse to immerse yourself in nature, understand some living systems, and catch a fish (to release it), pick up Fly Fishing... It changed my life.

Wallace (the whistleblower) claims that he created some false information that Tiversa sent to the FTC. That article mentions some doubt about the previous claims that the source of the leak was LimeWire, but doesn't give an alternate source.

Hahaha. That is true. One of my favorite ways of getting used to this is thinking of my biggest competitors as friends (or trying to).

I would say "keep your enemies closer" but I really don't think of them as enemies. On the advice of my business coach I usually call my competitors to chat every once in a while and I think we mutually realize that we're just trying our best not to go obsolete. We also need each other's help from time to time. And we usually don't have quite the same business interests, so this naturally makes our businesses each appeal to a slightly different type of client.

When a new competitor shows up, they are usually inexperienced and either won't last long or will end up joining our club of friends. That's just how it works.

We need to get comfortable with the fact that having things to hide does not make us guilty, criminal, or unethical.

Whether it's dick pictures, political views, or associations with questionable NSA targeted groups like UNICEF[1].

I argue that it's our responsibility to hide things to support freedom and democracy.

In particular, a McDonald's is considered a restaurant in the US, and there are restaurants that are lower-key and cheaper than McDonald's.

Of course, high-end restaurant also do exist.
Good read. Can't wait for the next part. Keep it up.

If the quad has only an accel and gyro sensor onboard then yes, the stability will be based primarily on the skill of the pilot and how well the machine is tuned.

With a GPS and barometer thrown in, position hold should be pretty close to a still hover unless there is significant wind or unresolved problems with the power train
T7t?
I'm not familiar with that term and my Google-fu is apparently not strong enough.
not as cheap as some European ones. What he is missing is specialization in the US. If someone considers themselves "developer" in the US they won't spend 2 hours a day cooking. They think it is cheaper to spend money on someone else cooking for them and code for these 2 hours.

Blatantly idiotic.
I don't think I could ever work for an early-stage startup again. I've seen too many decision being made, by management, that led a company on a path of failure or for myself and or my team to work 60+ hour work-weeks.

But, family is more important. This is why I started my own company. Yes, I work more hours than a traditional job, but I have much more flexibility with vacation and I can spend time with my family when I need to.
isn't there an elephant in the room here? specifically, ageism. whilst it's fantastic to give opportunities to the youth, promoting people on the basis of youth whilst "resuffling" other employees just because they were born before the 70's doesn't seem like wise corporate policy. if a guy who is born in the 50's is still a fresh thinker and performs well, why hold his age against him? china has an ageing population and with corporate policies/attitude like this, things will take a turn for the worse. i'm shock that so many people applaud jack ma for his blatant ageism

Exactly. The phrase 'something to hide' has become synonymous with 'something illegal' or 'you're doing something wrong', when in reality everyone has things they simply wish to keep private.

My highschool had SmartBoards in every classroom. There were only a handful of teachers who knew how to use them. The rest just used it as a projector screen. Rest assured that the same will be said for the Surface Hub; good teachers will use it appropriately, bad teachers will just put slides up on it.

My point is really around having the date be in a well defined place that isn't necessarily defined by the application that's logging. If the log entry date is at the beginning of the line, there's no ambiguity as to whether it's the log entry date or some other date being logged, and it also doesn't require parsing the JSON at all to filter by the date. If it's not at some very standard location that's easy to filer by (a possibly changing JSON property does not qualify), they it's hard to know you are filtering on the right data, and may also require transform before filtering. JSON parsers are fast. Multi-GB log files will still cause some extra overhead and slow the operation down, so it's best to reduce the working set before parsing the JSON.
Here is something that helps explain the who, what, why a bit more.

"Women make up about 70% of those prosecuted and convicted, and half of those jailed for not paying the fine. When people fail to pay other utilities, such as energy companies, they are guilty of a civil offence, not a criminal one, and they cannot be prosecuted and fined for falling behind with their payments. Civil action can be taken for recovery, but without fines and jail terms."
